Re: 100% Green Power Illusion
There are no free lunches. Someone else, someplace else, has already polluted the planet with massive behindthe-scenes mining and fabrication of raw materials used in windmills and solar panels. Enormous damage is hidden from the public by the time “clean energy” resources show up in a field or on a roof.

CPA uses solar and wind to create its 100% Green Power illusion. These resources are heavily reliant on gasfired power and system power <https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/themarinpost/doc/2451/CA-systempower_examples.pdf> (“Unspecified Power”) in order to maintain voltage and frequency across the grid. If these back-up sources, known as “resource adequacy” and "spinning reserve" stopped backing up California’s wind and 496
solar the state would experience regular black outs and brown outs. Claims that wind and solar resources are zero greenhouse gas are false to the extent that (i) they heavily depend upon fossil-fired power described above, (ii) large amounts of GHG are emitted in their raw materials fabrication (steel, concrete, resin, mining of metals, etc), and (iii) windmill blades <https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-02-05/wind-turbine-blades-can-tbe-recycled-so-they-re-piling-up-in-landfills> and solar panels <https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211467X19301245> are buried in the ground at end of life, and (solar) toxic to water supplies after burial.

Please at least admit that you understand the 100% Green Power Illusion.

Thank you,

I appreciate taking the time to look at what the "default" option should be again; however, I believe it should remain at the 100% renewable rate. (I guess that is Support position, but guess one could argue that is the Oppose position lol.) Anyway, those that desire to be at a lower level can opt to do so. Let's set our goals high.

Thank you.

Dear Honorable Mayor Detoy, City Council and Staff,
Re: Keeping the 100% renewable rate.

On the agenda tonight is an item to reconsider the 100% renewable energy. That is the default amount specified when the CCA was approved 5-0 for all the good reasons you articulated in that city council meeting. It would be much easier to go backward and start with 50% renewables and kick the can down the road to another council to change it back later.

But this decision is not academic for Hermosa. We have dirty fossil fuel power plants just north and south of our borders that are spewing pollutants and toxins on us on a regular basis. By choosing 100% renewable, we accelerate the decommissioning of those dirty power plants by making their fossil fuel power less in demand. By choosing 100% we also significantly accelerate our progress to the city’s community-wide carbon goals.

There may be a 3% increase in rates for 100% renewable energy, but what is our children’s health worth? Given that renewable energy far less expensive than generating power with fossil fuels, I suspect that price premium will disappear shortly. Anyone who truly needs financial assistance will get it with the CPA’s generous discounted rate for the economically disadvantaged. Anyone else who is concerned about their bill increase should be informed with their no cost opt-out information that they have several good options. They can:
• buy solar panels to reduce their bill (and get a good ROI) and maybe add a battery for energy arbitrage and backup.
• reduce their consumption (especially between 4p – 9p) with more energy efficient appliances and lighting. • at no cost switch to a lower tier of renewable energy or opt out to SCE.

Most people I know in this community would like to help our neighbors to the north and south reduce the pollution load on their families and would be willing to pay a bit more to do so.

And it is Halloween, the season to have a good scare. Boo! Unfortunately, some members of our community like to scare others with misinformation. They are saying that the CPA will raise your electric bill 25 – 50% as it did in Redondo. First off, that never happened. The change in rates to Time Of Use (TOU)rates just happened to coincide with deployment of their CCA. This was correlated but not causal. We know the difference. A few people with very high power usage from 4 – 9 pm had to adapt to a different plan or change their consumption patterns. The sky is not falling.

Nonetheless, don’t let them scare you into making a bad decision. Hermosa’s health is not for sale. Send that clear message to the dirty fossil fuel power plants by sticking with 100%renewable as the default. Anyone who is concerned can easily opt out for free.

Thank you,
Robert Fortunato

Municipal Matters Item XIV-a Supplemental Comment 2022-10-24 ---- Councilmembers and honorable others, ----
I will Opt-Out at the earliest opportunity possible, primarily as I've seen enough of this present %$#$% Hermosa Beach %$#$% King-Massey-run-Hermosa City Council, and its over-compensated, former 20-year-Long-Beachpolitician contract City Manager Suja Lowenthal, and their never re-bid costly, 28-year facilitating contract City Attorney Michael Jenkins so-cavalierly rule Hermosa Beach into the %$#$% like common %$#$% - %$#$%. I absolutely do not trust this %$#$%, %$#$% group as far as you can push City Hall even one inch off its foundation, and no one else should either. -----
For the same reasons I urge everyone to vote No on all four local Hermosa Beach City Measures M, B, U, and T that this group has placed on the ballot to give this city and city manager more money and more power to misspend. Yes, even Measure-M they technically placed on the ballot. ---- Good grief, it’s a no-brainer that the default should of course be to automatically be opted-out until one chooses intelligently to opt-in. This group believes the residents and businesses are too uneducated to do what this %$#$% group wants. ----
It seems as though S.C.Edison offers all this green stuff right now. What gives this %$#$% Hermosa Beach %$#$%-politician group the right to opt anyone in automatically, and then as they tried to pull off, to opt everyone into the most expensive option? That's again what %$#$%s do. ---- This entire sham has been a last minute railroad job of JPA/CPA/CCA right before the November 8 election the prior two meetings, which is why I absolutely will not vote to elect 16-month useless incumbent, the No-ActionJackson, or the ‘Massey-No-Action-Jackson-Puppet-%$#$%, Realtor Rita Gerace. What %$#$% from top to bottom on this entire %$#$%, railroad job of JPA/CPA/CCA. My views of course. Thank you! ---- Howard L.

The previous action by the city council defaulted all residents to the 100% green power rate which would have forced every resident a 3% increase in their electric bill. I am pleased that this is back on the agenda for reconsideration.

I suggested strongly at that time that the city default us to a lower base rate that would not increase across the board rates to every resident. Then each resident could opt in to the 100% green rate if they so chose.

I have noted this as a strong point at the city council candidate forums showing my knowledge and breath of this and many other subject areas
far exceeding other candidates.

At the last council meeting, Several people spoke about this issue, but when the city council passed the rates they did not even discuss or consider what people had stated when they spoke addressing their electric rates.

Now that this is back on the agenda I strongly suggest you revise the defaulted rate to a lower tier so that residents are not forced unknowingly to a higher electric bill.

This is the best way to gain consensus and public support for continuing to build on sound renewable energy for 500
our future.

Bringing people together is what my campaign is all about! Www.Deanforcouncil.com

I just wanted to highlight the difference between the Community-wide carbon reduction goal and the City Municipality goal, the latter being more ambitious, along with the flexibility of various opt-in/opt-out possibilities.

This means that even if Council chooses to set the default clean energy level at something less than 100%, it can still direct Staff to have the City Municipal accounts opted-in to the full 100% level to support achievement of that more ambitious goal. This comment is strictly intended to highlight the flexibility that exists.

Quite a scam your city bought into.

When you look at CPA’s power content label for 100% renewable, no way consumers are getting 70% solar (nor do consumers get 100% solar from SCE’s 100% Green Rate).

CPA is over-procuring inexpensive solar and then selling off the associated energy while retaining the solar RECs.

Then CPA purchases "unspecified power” (system power, which is a mix of gas-fired, coal, nuclear, etc) and delivers that to its 100% Green Power customers like Hermosa.

Notice there is 0% for Unspecified Power under the “100% Green Power” label. This happens throughout the day… we tried to stop it in energy legislation but were unsuccessful.

So the smoke & mirrors is legal.

Quite a scam your city bought into.

I would like to congratulate the city staff, and environmental programs manager Mr Krause. They have done a tremendous job regarding this issue.

I attended the previous council meeting regarding this contract and Many of the issues that were addressed at the last meeting have been addressed.

It does come to question however why it takes a renewal of a contract to get these issues taken care of. And does question why we are not considering going out with a new RFP.

Some of the issues that were addressed at the previous council meeting have not been addressed in the staff report are open dumpsters,
overflowing dumpsters, dumpsters blocking fire lanes and roadways, loud and noisy double haulers, and a switch to electric vehicles. Also, going forward what type of complaint system is in place where there is accountability.

This, and other issues that may come up in the future have not been adequately put together in some form of complaint system so going forward the community knows how to voice its problems when it comes to street sweeping and trash hauling issues. the contractor must be held accountable for it.

Thank you for your concerns

1. City staff must overwhelming demonstrate to the council that the benefits of NOT bidding out this large contract outweigh the benefits of bidding. The default should be to bid.

2. This is a real big contract. If the city is not going to bid it out it would be best to respect the upcoming election and defer a decision until the new Councilmembers can weigh in.

A new set of eyes can’t hurt.

So unless there is an overwhelmingly clear reason to push through this contract at the last minute and before the election the council should defer a decision.

This is a no brainer. Another railroad-job of a major, major contract two weeks before the council election. How outrageous once again this incredibly-dishonorable City Council / Suja Lowenthal operation is. This massive 10 to 20 year city-wide trash collection and street sweeping contract needs to go out for bid via Request For Proposals 502
(RFPs). ____NP____
With all due respect, the very idea that a Hawthorne resident, the "environmental programs manager" operating right under the nose of City Manager Suja Lowenthal’s ever-more-bloated city-manager office-bureaucracy, is to be negotiating with Athens, a private company, and I assume their main, guy Mr. Gary Clifford probably one of the sharpest negotiators in he country, is beyond crazy ludicrous. ____NP____ 10 years ago I remember well when Mr. Clifford stated in Council that Athens was “going to knock our socks off” with performance. Now we have three sets of incredibly noisy trucks tearing up the street pavement slamming down their plastic wheel noisy trash carts every trash, all day long. Why can’t there crappy carts have rubber wheels?
Anyway it's like an ant negotiating with elephant, the “environmental programs manager” negotiating with Mr.

Clifford, who does this year-in and year-out with cities all over. We’ve already seen how the residents and businesses got snookered with the organics racket by this City Council’s laziness. ____NP____ If it's such a great deal that Mr. Gary Clifford and Athens is to be offering, and with virtually no input from the residents and businesses who will be paying the bills for the next 10 to 20 years, Mr. Clifford and Athens can submit their great, great offer when three to five other major trash operators get to bid on this incredibly lucrative plum of a contract for a trash company, that is Hermosa Beach. ____NP____ The comparisons of all the other cities presented in the staff report is ludicrous. That’s comparing apples and oranges. This city is only 1.3 square miles, all packed in for efficient trash pickup. It’s a an incredible lucrative plum and if it isn’t put out to bid you will have to wonder who’s been corrupted in city to not want to put it out for bid as every sane city would do. And note the cost for a good RFP process will be borne by the winning bidder. ____NP____
In my view a city council, and city manager that claims we are getting the best bid by not bidding is smoking something, or are just too lazy to go through the proper bid process or there’s some flat out corruption taking place. ____NP____
This contract needs to go out to bid so other companies can let us know what’s really going on. ____NP____ Stop this nonsense and start an RFP process. Stop with another railroading through of a major contract right before an election. It really is time for an undercover FBI investigation of this city if such is not already going on. ____NP____
Put the Trash and Street Sweeping contracts out for bid the way all smart cities do after 7 to 10 years. If Athens wins the contract, it will be an even better contract than what’s going to be in the Kool Aid council will drink up. ____NP____
My views of course. RFP - RFP - RFP.

I believe in participatory democracy and agree all resident opinions are important for consideration. However, I also believe that we elect leaders to lead, and they should be in a better position to understand the nuances of city management. They are not a "lame duck" council or part of a nefarious conspiracy. I suspect there may be a reason to seek decision now due to private personnel issues - vs. a "corrupt agenda" to rush something before an election.

The salary increase (which looks to be about 25K for past year and also for next year if I'm reading correctly, or about a 10% increase) does not appear unreasonable compared to other city managers receive in the area with my brief search. It is more difficult to find the contract durations - but I assume the city has that data when proposing this. I noticed 1 year (some with auto renewal terms), up to a 5 year term. Newport Beach did just renew their manager for a 5 year contract -- so it's not unprecedented - and no, I'm not saying Hb is the same as Newport Beach. https://www.latimes.com/socal/daily-pilot/news/story/2022-01-27/newport-beach-city-managercontract-extended-by-five-years .

My impression of Suja at council meetings and at in person meetings I've attended, is that she is extremely competent and cares about the city and doing a good job. I do appreciate the concerns of many regarding changing the standard to fire her from simple majority to 4/5 vote. However, one would think if there was an objective just cause to do so, it would not be difficult to achieve that vote. I have my own assumptions why our manager may feel she needs that level of security, but look forward to hearing the discussion of our representatives as to why that may be appropriate - if in fact they do agree it is.

To summarize - I am 95% in SUPPORT, but I do want to hear staff and council discussion re: reasons for the extended term and change in termination criteria. Maintaining good management and the stability of our city administration is what is most important to me.

It is outrageous what the three outgoing councilmembers (Ray, Stacey and Mary) are doing by usurping the decision-making power of the three new councilmembers that will be elected in about 2 weeks before they even get elected. There is no basis for the existing city council to agree to a 5 year contract with the city manager, raising her salary and bonus, and for the next 5 years, she can only be fired by a 4 out of 5 majority. Interestingly, the exisiting city council only NEEDS THREE VOTES to pass this to make this the new rule for the next five years. Imagine this, only three votes can force all future decisions about the city manager to require four votes. In my opinion, there is absolutely no reason to basically make the decision for the city and for the next three new councilmembers who the city manager is going to be for the next 5 years when they have 2 weeks left on their 504
terms.

You All do not seem to have Any concerns for Hermosa Beach! Otherwise you would not want to vote for such an Extreme and COSTLY contract package for the City Manager w/ No Benefit for Hermosa Beach! And make it very difficult to fire her as well, if the need arises.

And that right before the Election and new council members! I can see the vote: Outgoing Council members Armato and Campbell BOTH YES, Council member Massey YES! And being 'transparent' voting it in very late at night! This IS Dirty Politics!

Of course I strongly oppose this "back room" maneuver to lock in the current City Manager's contract for another 5-years. Her contract is up in August 2023 and it should be the newly elected Council's job to renegotiate the terms of her employment then. Secondly, the underhanded strategy to vote in a proposed super majority vote for termination is just wrong. It will "tie the hands" of the incoming councilmembers. Also putting this very sensitive issue last on the agenda late in the night smells a little off. 510

Dear Mayor, Council Members, and Staff – I have noticed a substantial amount of community interest (53 written comments) unlike the other items regarding the City Manager Contract Agreement that is currently listed as the last item under Municipal Matters. I would like for you to consider moving this item to earlier in the evening so more community members could participate in this very important agenda item.

After reviewing the Staff Report, I have questions regarding the rationale for changing the voting requirements for the removal of our City Manager to 4/5 Supermajority. According to our Municipal Code 2.12.110 under City Manager, the “Removal – Vote Required – Notice of Intention to Remove” shall be only upon a three-member vote of the whole council. With this agreement change, are you revising our Municipal Code to reflect this amendment? If our Municipal Code is not being modified, what are examples to demonstrate the difference in voting procedures? Without understanding the rationale behind this change I cannot support this provision in the agreement.

In order to adhere to PLAN Hermosa's Governance Element providing a high degree of transparency and integrity in the decision-making process we need to understand how this change will provide a long-term community benefit while representing our entire residential community.

As always, I appreciate your thoughtful consideration.

Please postpone the salary and contract vote until after the election. The optics and timing of don't look good on the current city council. Additionally, if a contract is approved council should OPPOSE a 4/5 vote to terminate this contract. This is not necessary, If the city manager is doing a good job, she shouldn't need additional security, however, if her performance is not good, the new city council should be allowed to cancel her contract with a 3/5 vote.

Firmly oppose the contract for our current Hermosa Beach City Manager. She is the only City Manager ever provided with a five year contract, which she’s not deserving of. Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach City Managers aren’t supported with the amount of costly support staff. If you surveyed Hermosa’s community most would request she be removed from office. She’s not visible in our community, all city projects are behind 511

The City Council is once again forgetting or willfully ignoring that the residents of Hermosa Beach rightfully occupy the top of the City’s organizational chart.

Our residents elect the City Council to represent the interests of the electorate, the chief of those interests being that the City is well-managed. If the City ceases to be well-managed, the residents must have an assurance that their elected officials can make a change.

This contract extension undermines the ability of the City Council to represent our electorate. To enact a supermajority requirement severely disenfranchises residents who must rely on the City Council to take actions that are in line with the voice of the people.

I ask the City Council to reduce the term of this extension to two years at most and remove the simple majority requirement for removal.

Councilmember Friends,
Looks like you’re in for an interesting evening. I’m sure you’re all aware of how bad the optics are with the current city manager contract proposal. I realize these things are often more complex than they appear on the surface, but it’s hard to understand the rationale behind much of this proposal.

How about this, here’s a playbook of the questions that many people are trying to understand. Perhaps if these 512
questions are addressed tonight, things will make sense.

Q: For city manager positions, what is the benchmark (median for similar cities) for:
• Contract length
• Pay
• Severance amount
• Vote percentage needed to dismiss
Q: If there is a difference, which can be OK, what is the rationale? Q: For materially new, non-recurring contracts with Total Contract Value (TCV) over $1 million (CapEx or OpEx), wouldn’t a better practice be to give the constituents a few weeks to digest the components, understand, and buyin? What is the rush here? Note, I am marking “oppose” because I oppose with my current understanding. I would be glad to change to support with reasonable answers to the above.

I strongly disagree with this power grab weeks away from an election. This seems to be very suspicious.

Why is there a need to go from a simple majority 3 of 5 vote to Super majority vote of 4 of 5 vote. Why NOW are we going from a year to year contract to a 5 year Sweetheart deal seems very convenient with the timing. Why are we letting the current council make the decisions for the new council members for the next 3 elections. This will be a $1.3M contract deal for the city manager this ties the hands of the future council members who would be unable to terminate her without a 4/5 vote. Also adding this last to the agenda to ensure that many will not make it till 1:00am is another dirty play by all involved. I strongly urge the current city council to reject this proposal.

There are two conditions of the proposed City Manager contract that undermine the leverage of City Council to assure and incentivize City Manager performance and responsiveness to the entire Council and the people of Hermosa they represent. They must be changed as follows. 1) The length of the contract should be appreciably less than the proposed 5 years, to expire roughly mid-way through the next Council term, which is about 2 years from now. 2) A simple 3-2 Council majority should be retained, instead of the proposed 4-1 supermajority, as the hurdle for Council to terminate the City Manager without cause.

Regarding contract length, the incoming City Council must be afforded an opportunity within their term to reevaluate City Manager with the option to retain or dismiss without the prospect of severe contract penalties and constraints looming. Lack of such opportunity would be inconsistent with the principle that the City Manager works for, and reports directly to, City Council (and by extension is also accountable to the people).

The proposed 4-1 supermajority to terminate without cause violates the democratic principle of majority rule since only two City Council votes to retain the City Manager would be needed to avoid termination. Furthermore, a mere 40% “customer satisfaction” rating (2 of 5) is a very low standard for anyone to keep their job. The goal should be 100% here, with perhaps 80% more realistic in some cases. But even 60% is quite low, let alone 40%. (Note also that a supermajority scenario whereby 3 out of 5 votes lose is effectively equivalent to a simple majority scenario where 3 votes out of 7 lose. It is as if there was a 4-3 majority to retain, where the City Manager has the additional 2 votes (in addition to 2 Council votes to retain), twice as many as any one Council member.)
The two proposed conditions could significantly upset the balance of power between the City Manager and Council, and even within the Council. For example, if two Council members were to align with each other (and the City Mgr) and assure the City Manager no threat of termination without cause, this minority could wield undue influence within our City government (despite the need for three votes to approve formal Council motions).

It is the City Manager, not City Council, who has direct control over the entire City Staff, runs day to day operations, and approves the Council meeting agenda Staff reports whose input and recommendations significantly drive the resulting actions and approved motions of Council. For these reasons and others, a proper balance must be maintained.

I appreciate the continuity of service provided by the current City Manager to date, and the desire to maintain such continuity and stability, given our recent history with City Manager retention. But this does not outweigh my concerns otherwise. We must adhere to our principles.

So please heed my two recommendations above.

The proposed changes to the City Manager's contract to extend the term for 5 more years, and to require 4 out of 5 votes to terminate the contract is a despicable and desperate attempt to enshrine the current manager in an unassailable position of power, by hobbling and limiting the power of future council members. With 3 out of 5 seats to be determined during the upcoming election, this is also clearly an attempt to disenfranchise Hermosa's voters and to prevent them from being heard. It boggles my mind to find that this is even being attempted, while fearing it will succeed. One can only wonder at the possible motives of the current council. Is this some sort of revenge on the city by members who either are, or fear they may be, outgoing? Don't do this.

Please make the city stop this illegal pay raise we cannot be burned with owing over $1 million plus. Especially when we plan to eliminate these positions in the near future. We cannot keep over paiying for garbage! We have all the technology needed to run a town 100% more efficiently than its being run now. The city is so slow when real problems happen they can’t even deal with it takes months and months . Can’t even deal with coyotes in this town sad. The green way needs to be trimmed back to keep the coyotes down, so they add even more plants what is wrong with the city??? In tough times they spend money like it’s water. I say no fix our city up wash the streets clean the trash cans fix the flies!
Allowing a small group of individuals to vote on everything for the town is ridiculous! We need to have everyone’s emails, phone numbers and SMS messaging this way everyone truly does run their town instead of a few select people. Old-school politics are ruining our country and city. Contact me for more information on how to help get measure D written and passed in Hermosa Beach. Then we can work on fixing the other Beach cities surrounding us too. The fact that we have to make up signs, flyers and more just to stop things that outsiders are trying to do in our city is disgusting! It cost all of us thousands of dollars just to get rid of Starbucks Drive thru. now thousands of dollars more to get rid of Measure M??? This would not happen with a digital program in place.

Save our city and our dollars help me develop and get measured the past in the city stop the waste lower taxes and raise our expectations. Trust me California can be the greatest state ever but we all need to work together and try something new.

As a city council candidate, I am absolutely opposed to this proposal for the city managers contract renewal.

It is the wrong thing to do and the wrong time to do it.

This has nothing to do with the city manager's performance. Her performance is not on the agenda and we have yet to hear from the city council on her performance .

With regards to the supermajority 4/5 vote to terminate her contract, I am opposed to this and would be opposed to any such supermajority firing in the future. The city manager performance must be based on a simple majority satisfaction of a city council.
5 years is too long for an extension renewal, especially when implemented just weeks before an election .

A suggested solution to this dilemma would
be to extend the contract for one year and then allow the newly elected council members to weigh in on the future negotiations of the City Manager compensation after they have had some inside experience with performance. 516

First, to clarify, my opposition has nothing to do with our current City Manager, but rather about the long term management and oversight of the position itself. I cannot speak to competitiveness of the employment contract value itself (salary, benefits, 5-year guaranteed term) - it seems a bit rich to me, but I do not know enough about the "going rate" for a job position like this so I'll leave that part to others. But I am STRONGLY opposed to the change from a 3-2 majority Council vote to a 4-1 supermajority vote for non-causal termination. It is the City Council's job to review and evaluate the City Manager's position and if a majority feel it's time for a change via non-causal termination, then so be it, that's the way it should work...with the currently existing 3-2 majority vote design. There is simply no logical reason to make an at-will employment position subject to a supermajority vote for non-causal termination. This change, and frankly the timing of this change, are likely why so many are in an uproar - it's just bad optics, and it's bad policy. I imagine a lot of the discussion about this issue has been in closed-session, so I sincerely hope our Council gives these opposing views some serious consideration in open session now that so many have spoken out.

The furor over the City Manager’s new contract is completely ill conceived and illogical (some are mean spirited!).

From a total compensation perspective, the new contract in Hermosa averages about $360K. By comparison, following are City Manager total compensation averages from 2020 or 2021: Manhattan Beach $385K, Redondo Beach $363K, El Segundo $416K. Note that these will likely increase, perhaps substantially, over the next five years.

As far as waiting for the new members of the City Council to be in place to approve the new contract, it makes sense to have current Council members who have worked with Suja over the last number of years to vote, rather than those who know nothing about her value or skills.

Suja has been, at best, controversial since she was hired. She has shown hostility to any resident or business owner that challenges her on even the most simple of topics. Immediately on her arrival, she made changes to long held city processes to make it more difficult for residents to speak up on agenda items. She is never available in City Hall. She seems unable to manage her office or contractors, just look at how long it has taken - still not completely fixed - just to make recorded meetings and debates available to the public. She mis-managed the already expensive bathroom projects to the point they are now stalled indefinitely and subject to expensive lawsuits. Her misdeeds are myriad.

I ABSOLUTELY OPPOSE USURPING THE RESIDENTS POWER 2 WEEKS BEFORE AN ELECTION BY CHANGING OVERSIGHT OF SUJA TO A SUPER MAJORITY. It is wrong to do this period, even more unsavory on the eve of an election that could bring 3 new voices to the council chambers. But perhaps that's the point? Blake Dolton

Also, an action like this does nothing to reduce the potential for voluntary termination on the part of the City Manager.

I strongly oppose this new contract amendment for the City Manager. It’s not needed. These efforts to push such an action through ahead of the elections is very troubling. It demonstrates a complete disregard for serving in the best interests of Hermosa Beach residents.

I oppose any changes to the city manager contract. No city Council should make amendments as they are outgoing.

The length of the extension and new terms of the employment agreement are not acceptable and inappropriate for an outgoing council to push through. This item should be tabled for a later date after the new council is in place.

These proposed changes only benefit the City Manager and hurt an incoming City Council by locking them into an agreement that cannot be changed
for 5 years - unless there’s a 4/5 vote? Do you think the citizens are stupid? A neighbor below stated it well, “It is really a fundamental attack on the representative democratic process. What public interest is served by this change and how did it come to be?“ Leslie Mohr

I do not support a contract amendment to the City Manager contract. The contract term of 5 years and termination requirement of 4/5 vote needs to be further assessed by the new city council. Making this long-term decision at this point in the current Council's tenure is not necessary. If the new City Council members deem the City Manager contract to be extended with these termination requirements then let them make this important decision since this will be in effect during their term.

This proposal is extremely biased and a last-minute attempt by the city to void the upcoming City Council election. If this passes, it would severely hinder newly elected City Councilmembers and their ability to manage Hermosa Beach adequately. Please do the right thing and reject this proposal.

Esteemed City Council Members,
I am dismayed to read that a City Manager contract decision is being made right before new council members arrive.
520
This has nothing to do with Ms. Lowenthal personally, just that long term staff decisions should not be made when (potentially) over half the council could change. The council people voted in in Nov should decide as that’s who the community feels they want to make decisions for the city.

I also disagree strongly that a City Manager contract is longer than the majority of the council members will be on it—thus actually affecting two cycles of council people.

Please do not vote for a 5 year contract.

I am new to Hermosa Beach. Love it here, but a power grab from anyone is just wrong. I love the caring of the Community. All decisions in our LAND OF THE FREE should be made by it's people. The elected should follow what its people want. This is why you are elected. Keep the peace in our Community.

I strongly oppose the changes to the city manager’s contract. This reeks of corruption in this council’s final few weeks in power. Changing from a simple majority to a 4/5 vote to remove the city manager undermines future councils and has no true basis to be changed other than for the current council to cement the contact in their final days of 5/0 votes. If Suja is doing such a great job, why such extreme measures to make it so hard to remove her if she fails to meet the needs of our city?
I strongly oppose the 5 yr extension and the change of the vote to remove the city manager.

There are clearly other, more democratic ways, of retaining talent for the position of city manager than what has been proposed here. The timing of this proposal, the 4/5 termination vote, and 5 year extension reflect poorly on any council members that support or vote for this.

Suja has brought stability to city management. Since 2012 to 2018 there have been 4 city managers: 2 permanent and 2 interim terms. Neither of the previous two city managers lasted more than 4 years.

Tom Bakaly 2012 - 2016
John Jalily Interim
Sergio Gonzalez 2017-2018
John Jalily Interim
Suja Lowenthal 2018 - Present
In her 4 years she has made some incredible department head hires with police Chief Paul LeBaron, Deputy City Manager Angela Crespi, Public Works Director Joe SanClemente, Community Development Director Jeannie Naughton and made a terrific promotion of Lisa Nichols to Community Resources Manager. She led the city through the pandemic with the downtown configurations for dining decks, pivoted to online city services, and did all this while freezing 12 open positions.

Her contract was up in August, it seems reasonable to have a 5 year contract to continue the city’s path of stability and growth. There’s a new council every 2 years. It makes no sense to only do employment contracts every other year to avoid an election year. The current council knows her performance the best.

After 4 years of stellar performance in Hermosa Beach, Suja can work anywhere. We need to retain talent. We don’t want to become the city who can’t retain a city manager for more than 4 years. Then we’ll have a very real 521
hiring problem for the next city manager.

Politics at its finest, MONEY, POWER, GREED. The more you have the more you want. I think that,s an obsession. Give them this and next election they will want more. Just the fact that they tried to just sneak it in under the radar, should give would some idea of what we now have in the city council.

Changing the vote required to terminate the city manager contract from 3 of 5 to 4 of 5 is no different than the slimy voter suppression schemes happening all over the country in Republican States and in the Deep South.

Only it’s happening right here in Hermosa Beach.

If our electorate chooses 3 council members to represent them and those council members want to terminate the city managers contract by a simple majority like they can do today who are you to undermine the will of the people!

Dear City Council
If I got it correct the previous two city manager contracts with Ms. Lowenthal only required a majority of council members to terminate the city manager contract. That would be a 3-2 vote.

It’s outrageous that someone is manipulating the process to to require 4 out of 5 council members and not a simple majority (3-2) to terminate the contract.

It is really a fundamental attack on the representative democratic process. What public interest is served by this change and how did it come to be?
I suspect that since this action at the very end of the agenda it won’t come up until very late in the night and that’s no accident either. It minimizes public participation and scrutiny.

Someone should also ask for the total compensation not just the city manager salary.

It’s probably buried somewhere in the supporting documentation but total compensation should be a headline item not a buried byline.

And once again all this goes to a pattern of minimal transparency from our city leaders that has been discussed 522
so often but not addressed
That’s why we need new blood on the city council.

What a slap in the face of Hermosa residents! I cannot believe that the City has come this far to counter the upcoming City Council election and suppress the voice of our voters.

Why is it necessary to extend the City Manager’s contract from year-to-year to 5 years!? It is somehow conveniently timed right before election and with a contract duration that exceeds the newly elected Councilmembers’ terms (of 4 years). Why is it necessary to change the City Council’s ability to terminate such contract from simple majority (3/5) to super majority (4/5)? To my knowledge, super-majority has only applied to tax and fee related matters.

Tenured City Councilmembers and newly elected City Councilmembers are expected to collaborate together to find common-ground on city policy, municipal problems/projects and how to best govern our small-beach city. This proposal can be considered corrupt, unethical and acting in bad faith to our community. I would not be surprised if passed, the City would receive a black eye in its reputation, media scrutiny and litigation. I strongly urge the City Council to reject this proposal.

It smacks of impropriety for the Council, now, on the eve of an election, to hand a friend near-invulnerable status through the next three elections.

Beyond the bad optics, this proposed action ignores the reality that the management of the City, and accordingly, the performance of its City Manager, is rightly a matter up for debate and voters' judgment at every election. A contract that restricts the powers of future councils to carry out their mandate from voters, makes that debate moot. As such, it is contrary to notions of representative democracy and good government.

I urge that the Council not approve the proposed contract amendment for the City Manager.

Never, in my nearly 30 years of living in Hermosa Beach, have I ever witnessed such a corruption of our local government. Hermosa Beach is rapidly emulating the City of Bell, whose corruption extended from the City Councilmembers to the City Manager and the City Attorney. In that instance, they were all in cahoots – doling out pay raises and sweetheart contracts to each other, without a care in the world. How else did the City Council of the City of Bell behave? Dismissive and disinterested in the views of their residents. Sound familiar? As per 523
Justin Massey: “if we had to wait for a vote of the people, we would never get anything done”. Justin Massey regularly disparages and dismisses residents who speak up at council meetings and dare to push back on his agenda. Why would he care now what we think? The idea that you as our Councilmembers plan to lock in the City Manager to a 5 year contract at a total cost of $1.3M, hamstring a future City Council who would be unable to terminate her without cause without a 4/5 vote of a City Council is the height of corruption. You all behave with reckless disregard for our interests. Also, you put this last on the city agenda, forcing all of us to sit in chambers until what time – 1am? Again, this has been done purposefully and smacks of corruption. My prediction is that Justin, Stacey and Mary will vote yes. They will give Ray a pass to feign indignation, knowing that a 4th vote is unnecessary. The three are not concerned about Mike Detoy’s vote because it is not needed. I advise every resident now: Do not vote for Ray or Rita when you cast your vote! Rita has been endorsed by every councilmember and will perpetuate our current circumstances. Ray has been complicit in all of the above.

Hermosa Beach City Council: you should all be ashamed of yourselves. 524

COMPREHENSIVE ZONING CODE UPDATE:

CITYWIDE STANDARDS
(Associate Planner Maricela Guillean)
Martha Miller of Miller Planning Associates provided a presentation on Citywide Standards. She also did a review of what was discussed during the September special meeting of the Planning Commission.

Regarding AB2097 Parking, Chair Pedersen inquired about when there is an overlay or override by the State, do we change our local Code or put a comment that State law supersedes it. Director Naughton replied that it depends and some of the State laws conflict only in certain cases, in which we would make text amendments. Even if we did not change our Code, the State law would supersede it. It is best practice to align our local Code with State law.

Regarding Condominiums and the existing provision that required the applicant to agree to waive the right to protest the formation of an underground utility district, Director Naughton reported that the City’s Attorney’s Office felt this language was carry-over provision prior to some previous propositions that have since been passed which now require an undergrounding district where affirmative votes out-weigh the negative votes. If an undergrounding district was an issue in something that was extremely relevant to a specific project, if we had a condominium conversion case for example, we could always address that in the project conditions as conditions of approval. It is the City Attorney’s recommendation that this language be removed from the revised Code section because it is unnecessary. Commissioner Hoffman responded that he had received input that the reason this was included was that a building which previously had a single owner and got a single vote, but now had become a condominium and had multiple owners voting that only represented one block frontage in what would be the entire district; that is what this was intended to avoid. The over-representation of a condominium complex where you had fifty property owners voting that only represented one block-frontage. Deputy City Attorney John Natalizio said it is the opinion of the City Attorney’s Office that this language should be removed. Commissioner Saemann commented that years ago his own block was undergrounded and at that time, the rule was that each lot only had one vote, whether they were undergrounded or not. He is wondering if it is just two units, do both owners have a voice because it is common ground.

City of Hermosa Beach Page 2
537
Planning Commission Action Minutes - Draft October 3, 2022 It is more obvious when its forty or fifty. Vice Chair Izant replied that it depends on if the district was formed, and questioned if each owner would have to pay their own individual share or would it be one share for that lot divided by the number of owners. That should be the indication on how that should work. Vice Chair Izant feels that unnecessary trouble is being invited by retaining this language. Chair Pedersen agreed.

The following people attended virtually to provide public comment:

1. Sahil Gandhi

2. Jon David

3. Laura Pena
Commissioner Saemann asked how long it is expected to take to define what a major transit stop is. Martha Miller said she does not have a timeframe, but she is working with Staff to determine that. Director Naughton commented that there are some unclear items in some bills that come through and Staff is working to get a handle on those gray areas and definition. They are hoping to be able to provide some answers within the next month or so.

Commissioner Rice stated that she ran into State Senator Ben Allen last week and she brought up the issue of major transit. His recommendation was that we make no changes right now to the parking requirements and standards, seeing that more work needs to be done around the definition of “major transit.” Regarding Alternative Parking Design, Commissioner Hoffman said he can conceive a big project in which you would end up with effectively a parking garage and in that parking garage there would be lifts. Whether that constitutes exposed or not exposed; what the esthetics of that would be; where it was located…would it be imposing on the adjacent neighbors? He can conceive of where it would be appropriate for it not to be enclosed. To the extent that there is a parking plan, it seems that the discretionary agent would have say over enclosed/not enclosed on a case-by-case basis. He is comfortable not requiring that in a non-residential parking project with a plan that lifts would be permitted at the Commissions’ discretion. Chair Pedersen said he is not in favor of parking lifts to be required for residential parking at this time. Vice Chair Izant agrees.

Commissioner Rice said she could be open to mechanical lifts on any size lots with exceptions. She feels that we have seen they are working.

Regarding bicycle parking, Commissioner Rice agrees with the new language.

She appreciates the suggestion of bicycle parking in-lieu of vehicle parking.

Commissioner Hoffman is an agreement with Commissioner Rice. Chair Pedersen agrees and he thinks in general that there should be a lot more bicycle parking in town.

Commissioner Rice inquired to Director Naughton, if there is movement forward with the language for Nonconforming Use Replacement – Timeframe, what would be the timeline moving forward if the establishment does fit the criteria as vacant or abandoned. Director Naughton stated that the site would be subject to the current Code requirements immediately. The best approach is the humane approach, which is addressing each on a case-by-case basis; establishing City of Hermosa Beach Page 3
538
Planning Commission Action Minutes - Draft October 3, 2022 communication and working with the property owner or determining if it is truly abandoned.

Vice Chair Izant and Commissioner Saemann requested reviewing the Floor Area Ratio, as it had been brought up by members of the business community.

Commissioner Rice felt that if Council wanted to see changes to the Floor Area Ratio, then City Council would bring that to the Planning Commission to discuss.

Chair Pedersen and Commissioner Hoffman both stated they needed to refer to their notes from previous meetings regarding the conversations about changing the Floor Area Ratio before deciding if it should be agendized for a future Zoning meeting or regular meeting. Chair Pedersen stated that it will be brought back for discussion later, after the Deputy City Attorney Natalizio stated it was not on the agenda for tonight. Vice Chair Izant stated he is fine revisiting it another night, as long as it comes back for discussion.

IV. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION -- ORAL AND WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS City of Hermosa Beach Page 1
540
Planning Commission Action Minutes - Draft October 18, 2022 The following people provided public comment virtually:

1. Brian Cooley
Community Development Director Jeannie Naughton addressed an email received by Mr. Anthony Higgins. Director Naughton informed the Planning Commission that Staff followed up with the Los Angeles Fire Department in regard to Mr. Higgins’ concerns and on the date in question, there was no delay in service or transportation of the patient to the hospital. The responding emergency vehicles were not from Fire Station #100 so they were unaware of limitations in the area. Local Fire Station #100 is aware of potential issues with alleys per Chief Bennett from L.A. County Fire. There will be an upgrade for dispatch centers in late 2023 to help centralize and better facilitate off-site responders that may be dispatched to Hermosa Beach. The wall itself (in the alley) meets Code requirements. The City cannot require the wall to be removed to allow private vehicles to have a wider turn ratio. The Code section that was reference in Mr. Higgin’s email does apply to corner lots that front the intersections of two streets, but it does not apply to the intersection of two alleys.

The main difference is the vehicular traffic volume between two streets versus two alleys. During construction, City Inspection Staff and Public Works Staff were on-site to assess whether they needed to apply that condition in this case, and Staff all agreed that it was unnecessary due to the alley configuration. It is noted that there are no sidewalks on either side of the alleys. The wall is permitted and allowed per our Code. If necessary, this can be reassessed in the future. a. REPORT

c. VERBAL REPORT ON CITY COUNCIL ACTIONS
Community Development Director Jeannie Naughton shared an update that at the City Council meeting on October 11th, the Council waived full second reading and adopted the Timeshare Ordinance with the revision to allow with a conditional use permit timeshare uses in the C2 district and to eliminate it in the C1 district.
d. STATUS REPORT ON MAJOR PLANNING PROJECTS
Director Naughton shared that a new consultant was brought on to assist with the Housing Element Update and the kick-off meeting was last week. There was also a meeting with the South Bay Cities Council of Governments consultant group who is using regional early action Planning funds to look at market analysis for underutilized commercial sites for potential development of housing. This will aide in the analysis of the Housing Element Update.

The comprehensive Zoning Code Update is coming along with the help of the Planning Commission and there may be additional discussions related to this in early 2023 if our new housing consultant anticipates any changes needed in the new Zoning Code. This will ultimately help us get certified by the Department of Housing and Community Development, and to implement what is in PLAN Hermosa.

There is a development application coming up, tentatively scheduled for the November 15th Planning Commission meeting, for a 12-unit condominium project which was last seen by the Planning Commission in Spring of 2022.

The total cost of the negotiated changes is $236,094 for FY 2022-2023.

The City’s aim through labor negotiations is to maintain competitive wages, hours, and working conditions in a high-cost geographic labor market in order to retain and attract a high-quality workforce to serve our community across a range of services. Most position classifications in the City are comparable to those in other municipalities.

commencing 1101 hrs. Friday and terminating the following Friday at 1100 hrs.

F. If an employee works on a holiday that falls on their regular day off, the City shall compensate the employee at the rate of time and one-half their regular rate of pay for all hours worked that day.

Seniority shall be the determining factor in all overtime. All overtime shall be offered to the most senior officer first with the following exceptions:

2. In the event that there is a female in custody and no female PSO is on duty, then the closest female PSO shall be offered the overtime. Closest refers to the PSO’s geographic location to the City, in which seniority shall not apply.

3. Seniority shall remain the determining factor in signing up for scheduled overtime (sign-up sheets). Once a PSO signs up for scheduled overtime, he or she may be bumped by a more senior PSO with three days’ notice. The bumping PSO shall make every effort to contact the PSO bumped to advise them of the situation. In all cases, priority (without regard to seniority) shall be given to the PSO who signs up for the entire shift.

4. Once a PSO signs up for an overtime slot, he or she is responsible for fulfilling that assignment unless he or she calls in sick. The PSO cannot remove their name from the sign-up sheet unless they find a replacement or get approval from the PSO Supervisor.

596
31 3. Any matter that affects the working conditions of the employee or the application of all rules, regulations, policies and/or laws affecting the employees covered by this Agreement.

E. STEP 1 Grievance - An employee's Grievance/Appeal must be submitted in writing by the employee fully stating the facts surrounding the Grievance/Appeal and detailing the specific provisions of this Agreement alleged to have been violated, and presented to the first line supervisor or management representative immediately in charge of the aggrieved/disciplined employee within fifteen (15) calendar days after the employee could have been reasonably expected to have had knowledge. The supervisor or management representative shall reply to the employee by the end of the fifteenth (15th) calendar day following the presentation of the Grievance/Appeal and the giving of such answer will terminate Step 1.

F. STEP 2 - If the Grievance/Appeal is not settled in Step 1, the Grievance/Appeal will be presented to the Department Director (or, in the case of an appeal of a disciplinary action initiated by a Department Director or where the Department Director participated in the decision to administer discipline, to the Human Resources Manager/Director) within ten (10) calendar days after termination of Step 1.

3. Seniority shall remain the determining factor in signing up for scheduled overtime (sign-up sheets). Once a PSO signs up for scheduled overtime, he or she may be bumped by a more senior PSO with three days’ notice. The bumping PSO shall make every effort to contact the PSO bumped to advise them of the situation. In all cases, priority (without regard to seniority) shall be given to the PSO who signs up for the entire shift.

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

ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA AMENDING HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 12.30, (SPECIAL EVENTS ON PUBLIC PROPERTY) AND SECTION 12.30.030 (SPECIAL EVENT APPROVAL AND PERMIT ISSUANCE)

AND FINDING THE SAME EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (Community Resources Manager Lisa Nichols)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Waive full second reading and adopt by title only an Ordinance of the City of Hermosa Beach, California amending Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Chapter 12.30 (Special Events on Public Property), Section 12.30.030 (Special Event Approval and Permit Issuance), and finding the same exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act; (Attachment 1); and

2. Direct staff to print and publish the summary ordinance in a newspaper of general circulation within 15 days following adoption and post it on the City’s bulletin for 30 days.

Executive Summary:

The Community Resources Department is tasked with overseeing special event requests and permits on public property. The Special Events Policy Guide serves as a comprehensive document for event producers with information on the review and approval process, applicable fees, policies, and Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Chapters and Sections pertaining to special events.

At its September 28, 2022 meeting, City Council held a public hearing and approved the Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission’s (Commission) recommended Special Events Policy Guide updates. The policy updates pertaining to the Impact Level Characteristics Matrix and the public hearing requirements for returning Impact Level III events and new events require Hermosa Beach Municipal Code amendments prior to implementation.

Background:

The Community Resources Department is tasked with overseeing special event requests and permits on public property. At its January 13, 2015 regular meeting, City Council directed the Commission to create a subcommittee to review and make policy recommendations pertaining to special events. At City of Hermosa Beach Page 1 of 5 Printed on 10/21/2022 powered by Legistar™653
Staff Report
REPORT 22-0650
create a subcommittee to review and make policy recommendations pertaining to special events. At its April 7, 2015 regular meeting, former Commissioner Jessica Guheen and Commissioner Jani Lange were selected to serve on the Special Events Subcommittee (Subcommittee).

The first draft of the Special Events Policy Guide was presented to Commission and City Council at a special joint meeting on Wednesday, July 6, 2016, to allow input from Commission and City Council prior to its formal adoption. At its regular meeting of September 13, 2016, City Council approved the Special Events Policy Guide for implementation to begin in 2017.

The Special Events Policy Guide serves as a comprehensive document for event producers with information on the review and approval process, applicable fees, policies, and Hermosa Beach Municipal Code chapters and sections pertaining to special events. Special events are evaluated based on several factors and categorized as Impact Level I, II, or III using the Impact Characteristics Matrix included in the Special Events Policy Guide. The matrix considers event characteristics to determine the Impact Level such as: the total estimated attendance; the event location; the day and season in which the event is requesting to take place; the total number of consecutive event days; and special requests such as reserved parking, amplified sound, etc. The Impact Level of the event is then used to determine the deadline for application submittal, and the level of review and approval needed (City staff, Commission, and/or City Council) for the event.

During the review and approval process of 2022 special events, it became evident that a comprehensive review of specific policies within the Special Events Policy Guide was needed. At its January 25, 2022 regular meeting, City Council directed staff to work with the subcommittee, to further define “community benefit” as an eligibility requirement in the Fee Waiver Grant Program and the Long-Term Agreement Program. At its regular meeting of Thursday, June 16, 2022, Commission requested staff work with the Subcommittee to review the Special Events Policy Guide in its entirety and return with recommendations.

On June 7, 2022, the Subcommittee and staff met to form recommendations for Special Events Policy Guide updates. The recommended Special Events Policy Guide updates were approved by the Commission at its July 5, 2022 meeting.

At its September 28, 2022 regular meeting, City Council held a public hearing and approved the Commission’s recommended Special Events Policy Guide updates. Attachment 2 is the current Special Events Policy Guide with the approved updates.

3 General Information + Frequently Asked Questions
When is a special event permit required?
Any organized event, activity, celebration, or function involving the use of the beach at which one hundred or more persons are to be assembled, or use of outdoor city facilities, rights-of-way, or parkland at which twentyfive or more persons are to be assembled, requires a special event permit. Additionally, a special event permit shall be required for any commercial or non-profit group requesting use of any outdoor city facilities, rights-ofway, or parkland within the city.

How do I apply for a special event permit?
Applications for special events must be submitted using the online form on the City of Hermosa Beach website and questions may be directed toward the Department of Community Resources.

Are private events allowed?
All events located on the beach within the commercial zone, the Pier, or Pier Plaza must be open to spectators/general public free of charge. Participant entry fees are permissible.

What is the “Nothing Weekend”?
On at least one weekend during each summer season, the Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission will recommend no special event permits be issued. This means that any application for a special event permit that coincides with the designated “Nothing Weekend” will be asked to change dates for the event to be considered.

How will this policy be enforced?
The special events policy will be strictly enforced by Community Resources Department, Code Enforcement Officers, and the Police Department. Events, either permitted or unpermitted, found to be violating City policy or failing to comply with any of the requirements of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code may be subject to penalties or fines. Special events, and any of its participants, vendors, or spectators, found to have caused damage or be in violation of any City policy or the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code may be subject to greater deposits, regulation, or restrictions when submitting special event applications in the future.

Where are special events allowed?
To ensure adequate space and resources are available, and to limit potential disturbances to the community, special events are limited to the following locations:
• South of Pier within the Commercial Zone; between 10th Street and the Pier; • North of the Pier within the Commercial Zone; between the Pier and 15th Street; • Designated Surf Zone
• The Strand

5 Use Classifications + Impact Characteristics
Special events are evaluated based on several factors and will be categorized as Impact Level I, II, or III based on the information provided in the special event application. Once the information is submitted and reviewed by the Community Resources Department, City staff will determine the Impact Level of the event using the Impact Characteristics Matrix.

The Impact Level of the event will be used to determine:
o applicable fees;
o deadline for the special event application submittal; o requirements for pre-event meeting(s) and post event walk through(s); and o level of review for approval (City staff, Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission and/or City Council).

Impact Characteristics Matrix
If more than one option is applicable, the highest characteristic will be used to determine the impact level.

Fee Waivers
To support qualifying organizations, the City provides special event fee waiver grant opportunities to assist in its success by relieving the financial burden associated with the cost of the City’s special event fees. The Special Event Fee Waiver Grant Policy is intended for those events required to complete the annual special event application filing, review, and approval process. Events and organizations that qualify for a long-term agreement or in a City Contract are not bound to the terms of this policy.

Funding Limits
The Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission (Commission) awards grant funding for qualified organizations that have received approval to hold their event in the City of Hermosa Beach. The annual award limit of the Special Event Fee Waiver Grant is approved by the City Council each fall for the upcoming calendar year. Grants will be awarded up to a maximum of $2,500 per event or a 50% reduction of indirect City special event fees, whichever is the lesser amount.

Awards may only be used toward indirect special event fees charged by the City; direct costs are not eligible for consideration of this grant and organizations are required to pay those in full. A fee worksheet is included in the Fee Waiver Grant Application that further outlines those fees eligible under this grant. The minimum amount of requested special event fee waiver grants must total at least $250. Fee waivers will not be considered for events taking place during the Peak Season between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Eligibility
In order to be eligible to apply for a Special Event Fee Waiver Grant, the special event must be a returning event to the City and have been successfully approved through its applicable approval process as outlined in the Special Event Policy Guide. New events to the City do not qualify for a fee waiver grant. Following approval of a special event, a completed Special Event Fee Waiver Grant Application is required to be submitted to the Community Resources Department at least 60 days prior to the event. Following a review to ensure the completeness of the application, the request will be included on an upcoming meeting of the Commission for its formal review and determination of grant award.

Fee waivers may be granted when the Commission determines that the event is of significant value to the community or to a significant portion of its residents. The organization producing the event must meet the following criteria:
1) An organization that is not delinquent on city permits or fees. 2) The organization and/or event can demonstrate:
a. A community benefit; or
b. A positive economic impact as a result of the event.

Applicants will be requested to demonstrate the following:
• A financial need or other economic justification to be considered for a Fee Waiver Grant; • A positive community benefit through the organization or its event by meeting at least two of the following criteria:
a. The organization and/or event serves, involves, and/or promotes Hermosa Beach, its residents, schools, and/or businesses;
b. The organization and/or event can demonstrate broad community support and sponsorship; c. The event appeals to a wide segment of community members; d. The organization and/or event enhances the quality of life to the Hermosa Beach community; offering recreational, cultural, social, and or and/or educational activities of interest to the community;
e. The organization can demonstrate a commitment to supporting the City’s active and healthy lifestyle as a result of the event; and/or

b. Data indicating the participants spending in Hermosa Beach during the duration of the event at any of the businesses in the City of Hermosa Beach.

Additionally, applicants must be able to fully fund their event should they not receive a fee waiver grant and may not be dependent on the fee waiver grant to determine their ability to hold the event.

Events specifically prohibited from receiving a fee waiver grant include those events that:
• Promote, advocate or advance a political message or belief. • Projects or organizations who have unsatisfactorily fulfilled its obligations from previous fee waiver grants.

Approval
The five (5) member Commission is tasked with reviewing and determining the level of Special Event Fee Waiver Grant award at one of their regular meetings held on the first Tuesday of each month beginning at 7:00pm.

Consideration will include careful review of:
• Special Event Fee Waiver Grant Application.
• Community Benefit Form
• Economic Impact Report
• Successful fulfillment of previously awarded grant obligations.

The Commission’s decision to deny grant funding for specific events is appealable by the City Council. The City Council will not consider additional fee waiver considerations in addition to the maximum award amounts allowable through the Special Event Fee Waiver Grant program.

Obligations
Organization receiving grant funding through the Special Event Fee Waiver Grant program will be required to complete the following:
• A formal presentation to the Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission at one of its regular meetings no more than 60-days following the event. The presentation shall include discussion of:

o Beneficiary of funds raised by the event (if applicable). o Overview of event budget and financial outlook.
o Overview of the community benefit and/or positive economic impact to the City of Hermosa Beach.

Disqualification
