From: tony higgins
To: City Clerk; Planning Commission
Cc: City Council; DG_PlanningCommission; Patrick Donegan; [email protected]; Kevin R. Cody; Carrie Tai Subject: Written Communication to City Council and Planning Commission on making Pier Avenue Truck Route Closures Permanedy
Date: Monday, March 27, 2023 2:33:08 PM
Attachments: image.png

PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT
March 27, 2023
Dear City Council
Planning Commission
Re: Pier Avenue Truck Route Lane Closures - CEQA!
The FIRST part of this written communication will detail concerns about the forthcoming CEQA Initial-Study that by all accounts will promote the permanent closure of truck route lanes on Pier Avenue without any assessment of how these lane closures have impacted truck traffic patterns in residential neighborhoods, especially in North Hermosa.

The Pier Avenue truck route lane closures were permitted two years ago under the emergencyorder to support local businesses during the Covid crisis.

But the associated CEQA Initial Study has been delayed unnecessarily with temporary extension after extension for over 2 years now and there can be no doubt that the these delays have inappropriately entrenched the Truck Route Lane Closures while denying potentially impacted neighborhoods their due process under CEQA.

Additionally, nearly 6 months ago city staff belatedly assured the city council the CEQA InitialStudy for this project would finally be completed in May of 2023 more than two years after the Pier Avenue truck route lane closures
But City Staff said much more than that “between the lines”.

City Staff also assured the City Council that not only would the Initial Study be done by In May 2023, the entire CEQA process would be completed THAT SAME MONTH; clearly signaling that staff had already decided they were not going to do an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).

Simply stated it would be impossible to compete the initial study in May and then do an EIR.

Rather, at that point it was obvious staff intended to find there were no-significant-impacts to the truck route lane closures and issue either a Negative Declaration (ND) or the and issue a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and find all impacts associated with the truck route lane closures could be mitigated to a less than significant level.

And city staff decided this before decided this even before the initial study analysis was done.

The optics here are bad but the reality is worse.

Why would the city be so hell-bent on doing an MND or ND and not an EIR? 20 Well, one possible reason is city staff IS NOT REQUIRED TO RESPOND IN WRITING to citizen concerns about a ND or MND but THE CITY MUST RESPOND IN WRITING TO CITIZEN CONCERNS with an EIR!
The SECOND part of this written communication will detail guidance from the California Attorney General (AG) that any reasonable person can see should apply to the CEQA process for the Truck Route Lane Closures and demand an EIR.

This is not optional, the facts and the law demand an EIR and I will present evidence of that below.

And any Initial-Study that doesn’t answer the questions raised in this written communications and fails to call for an EIR is fatally-flawed.

Moreover, there can be no doubt if you read the AG guidance that the “fair argument” and “substantial evidence” standards apply directly to the Pier Ave Truck Route Lane Closures InitialStudy and any subsequent MND or ND and these arguments demand an EIR.

The LAST part of this written communications details what I believe is evidence our City’s long standing Duplicity and even Malfeasance affecting the 27th street neighborhood the city council needs to make that right.

The goals of my Written-Communication are simple.

First, ensure the City Council is aware of the AG GUIDANCE related to the fair argument and substantial evidence standards.

Second, do everything in my power ensure an EIR is done consistent with the California Attorney’s guidelines.

Third ensure any associated Health, Safety or Quality of Life impacts to the 27th street neighborhood are fairly measured, analyzed and fully mitigated.

ATTORNEY GENERAL GUIDANCE:

The California Attorney General has issued clear guidance to Lead Agencies saying that the “fair argument” and “substantial evidence” standards apply to any CEQA Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) or Negative Declaration (ND).

This is beyond dispute.

This guidance can found at:
https://oag.ca.gov/environment/ceqa/litigation-settlements The council must understand what the fair argument standard is and how it applies, if it is to properly discharge its authority as a Lead Agency .

In the context of CEQA the fair argument standard means that if a “fair argument” can be made that a project may have a significant direct or indirect effect on the environment (including health, safety or quality of life), an EIR SHALL be prepared even though there may 21 be other substantial evidence that the project will not have a significant effect (CEQA Guidelines § 15064(f)(1)).

Definition: an “indirect impact” is any impact separated from the project by space or time.

It carries the same weight as a direct impact.

Substantial Evidence means enough relevant information and reasonable inferences from this information that a fair argument can be made to support a conclusion, even though other conclusions might also be reached.

This is exactly the case for the Pier Avenue Truck Route Lane Closures project.

A fair argument can be made that the closure of truck route lanes have shifted more and more large trucks from Pier Avenue to 27th street. This is a common sense inference.

Truck route lane closures on Pier will impact 27th street since it is clearly the most viable option to Pier Avenue.

And, 27th street is a steep ,narrow residential street in a densely packed residential neighborhood; and it is simply NOT suited for additional truck traffic.

If the truck route Lane Closures on Pier Avenue implemented under covid emergency orders are made permanent the degradation of 27th street will continue and likely accelerate as the downtown recovers and truck traffic to and from Plaza businesses AND to/from construction sites all over the westside use 27th street instead.

I believe this is a potentially significant CUMULATIVE unmitigable impact and therefore demands an EIR for the following reasons.

Consider:

A. 27th is likely well over CNEL noise levels for R2 neighborhoods specified in the General Plan based on data taken from multiple noise meters and provided to the city. The city has received many complaints about excessive traffic noise on 27th. The city has also not released traffic noise data or reports from the somewhat disingenuous traffic noise measurements taken several months ago that chose monitoring points that actually substantially minimized the actual traffic noise levels.

This concern was detailed in a previous email that I will be be happy to resend if you have any doubts about the voracity of this claim. .

B. Significant truck vibration problems exist on 27th at Morningside Drive because of a poorly designed water recovery ditch that trucks slam over hundreds of times a day; often sending palpable shock waves through my house.
22 Complaints of excessive truck traffic vibration have been ignored for years and likely exceed the General Plan vibration levels of significance at nearby residential property lines according to my IPhone accelerometer.

But the city has steadfastly refused to fix this or even measure the vibration.

C. Significant intersection queuing problems routinely occur on 27th street and Gould (aka 27th) adjacent to Valley Park that have been documented in countless photographs I’ve sent to the council and city staff.
1/4 mile backups at our stop signs occur many times a week and can occur any day of the week and on weekends.

D. Exhaust Soot & Tire Dust thickly layer our bushes on 27th but NOT bushes 26th or 28th street.

These carcinogens can be seen coating our interior walls if street facing windows are left open.

I brought evidence to one council meeting in the form of green lemon from a tree on our street that was thickly coated & crusted with toxic exhaust soot and carcinogenic tire dust.

Can reasonable inferences that there may be a Near Roadway Pollution Problem problem on 27th be made. You bet. Has any action been taken? HELL NO!
Lemonade anyone?
And my vegetable garden in my front yard; abandoned because of exhaust soot and tire dust lining the edibles.

E. 27th is far to steep, narrow and densely packed with residential homes and sensitive receptors to serve as a downtown truck route or the main route for heavy trucks going to construction sites all over the westside.

Pictures below show heavy trucks running within 10 feet of property lines, doors and windows. 23 F. We are now approaching 10,000 vehicles a day including ~ several hundred heavy commercial trucks per day mostly destined for the downtown business district or construction sites all over the westside, not locations in NW Hermosa as specified in the 2017 General Plan.

What it boils down to is 27th street wealth and quality of life is being transferred to Pier Avenue business and property owners while a 2 year long unnecessary delay in the CEQA Initial study has left residents of 27th holding the bag by denying them the TIMELY access to due process under CEQA.

Many discretionary projects over the years that have shaped conditions on 27th including but are not limited to the widening and redesign of Gould Ave, the closure of several local streets in NW Hermosa over the years, the opening of Vista Elementary in the past couple of years, a steady stream of downtown curb buildouts that have made it harder for trucks to make turns downtown encouraging them to take routes other than Pier Ave to access the downtown business district & 24 Plaza Businesses, the Herondo Truck berm project, the new one way designation of 26th that has brought considerably more cross traffic and honking at 27th and Morningside and now the Pier Avenue Truck Route Lane Closures.

And the lack of any meaningful truck volume data, traffic noise and vibration data on our extremely busy road segment is by design not by accident or mistake.

And it will only get worse as we exit covid, grow the downtown and enter the summer season.

Since the city has no comparative truck traffic data, any CEQA analysis of the indirect impacts to 27th from truck route lane closures; it follows the city must start with meaningful CNEL noise level measurements on 27th, taken at peak noise locations NOT locations likely to produce the least amount of residential traffic noise as was recently done .

I detailed this in a previous email that I will be happy to forward to any concerned party.

Moreover the frequency and time distribution of traffic related “impulse noise” (eg LN>70dba) are required since they are known to cause significant sleep disturbances also impact the overall health of residents in our neighborhood.

These impulse noise levels are completely out of control on 27th and efforts to mitigate this have been non existent with not a single noise infraction ticket on 27th while 50 or so have been issued elsewhere in Hermosa.
27th’s steep narrow roads are now the the goto access-road for modified exhaust vehicles wanting to parade their obnoxiously loud vehicles on Hermosa Ave.

The AG guidance specifically calls out impulse-noise measurements.

These obnoxiously loud vehicles certainly don’t want to light-up the Pier Avenue police station so it makes sense to use 27th.

The health implications of traffic noise are well known and detailed in this widely cited peer reviewed WHO article that I have provided the city council and the city’s Environmental Analyst on many occasions, only to be consistently ignored.

This peer reviewed & widely cited scientific report details these health consequences and this and/or similar reports must be considered in any meaningful Health Assessment. https://www.euro.who.int/__data/assets/pdf_file/0017/43316/E92845.pdf.

Intersection queuing problems already exist and 1/4 mile backups at stop signs on 27th are almost a daily occurrence.

These intersection queues must be measured and mitigated before throwing more trucks our way.

Near Roadway Pollution measurements are needed to accurately assess the health consequences.

MALFEASANCE & DUPLICITY:

Malfeasance:
25 An act that is illegal AND causes physical or monetary harm to someone else. Malfeasance is intentional conduct that is wrongful or unlawful, especially by officials or public employees.

Duplicity:

Duplicity is used to describe someone who intentionally misleads people, especially by saying different things to different people or acting in different ways at different times.

Someone once said “Duplicity is the slippery slope to Malfeasance”.

In the URL below our City Attorney says words to the effect that COMMERCIAL Trucks should only use 27th street or Gould avenue adjacent to Valley Park if they are serving NORTHWEST Hermosa business or NORTHWEST Hermosa construction sites.

THAT was the conclusion of the HB City Attorney in his September 2018 letter interpreting both the HB 2017 General Plan & local traffic laws.

SEE Section D. of the City Attorney letter below.
https://hermosabeach.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=6799268&GUID=87C045C9-6FD6- 4C7E-9092-D215B22B0C4B
Per the HB City Attorney’s 2018 letter 27th was NOT meant to be a truck route serving Plaza Businesses OR Construction Trucks serving job sites all over the westside. 27th was meant to be a local collector road servicing NW Hermosa businesses and construction sites.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THIS?
26 27th street at Morningside.

This “No Commercial Vehicles” sign was placed at 27th street westbound at Morningside Drive around 1985 and is one of many duplicitous actions the city has taken over the years related to heavy truck traffic that impact our neighborhood.

To better make this point, two different Public Records Requests (PRR) have proven that not a single ticket has ever been issued for a truck using 27th, despite the fact that THOUSANDS OF HEAVY TRUCKS USE 27th EVERY WEEK to access businesses and construction sites that are not in NW Hermosa.

Moreover despite the fact that there are several of these “No Overweight Commercial Vehicles” signs posted throughout NW Hermosa; my public records requests have confirmed the HBPD has never issued a single ticket for violating these signs anywhere in the city. EVER! AND, is duplicity is a slippery slope to malfeasance?
Think about former Police Chief McKennion who said in an email referring to these No Commercial Trucks signs:
“Tony, I don’t what I can do to convince you, we do follow trucks on 27th and we do issue tickets”.

Well my PRR this was a boldface lie.
27 No tickets for Overweight Trucks or Direct Route Violation have been issued on 27th street or anywhere in Hermosa, EVER!
You can check with the City Clerk on that.

Moreover, please also consider there is not a single-point on PCH where 27th street is the shortest route downtown but the city hasn’t taken a single step to mitigate or enforce violations of the Direct Route Laws, EVER!
You need further evidence of Malfeasance?
Well consider the 2017 General Plan.

See yellow circle!
Each Road Segment analyzed for traffic noise, vibration and intersection queuing in the 2017 General Plan is enumerated below.

There was simply no sane reason for the city to have have excluded the 27th street from the 2017 28 General Plan’s road segment analysis.

It is the 2nd busiest east west road segment in the city west of Pacific Coast Highway, second only to Pier Avenue.

PROOF: Councilman Dulcos commented in a 2016 email to me that the noise and traffic problems on 27th was a well known and long standing problem.

The City Council can’t pretend they didn’t know about traffic noise and truck problems on 27th So why did the City Council approve a draft General Plan that excluded 27th from the 2017 General Plan’s road segment analysis?
This is no accident but rather part of a long term effort by the city to sweep the impacts of Heavy Truck Traffic on our neighborhood under the carpet.

Then consider that 27th Street between Morningside & Manhattan is a steep, narrow heavily utilized road segment, densely packed with homes and because of this AND the fact that cars and trucks run less than 2 feet from the sidewalK and in some cases less than 10 feet from our doors and windows, our neighborhood is especially vulnerable to truck and vehicle noise, vibration and near roadway pollution.

But for some reason the city council felt it was ok to exclude 27th from the General Plan’s road segment analysis.
27th was designed as a residential street, not an Avenue, Boulevard or a defacto truck route serving the entire westside.

There are dozens of sensitive receptors on westbound 27th that must be considered in terms of redirecting truck traffic flows.

Moreover, 27th is not the most direct route to the business district or the south west side of Hermosa Beach from any point on PCH or from any of the local freeways.

And what about the General Plan’s mitigation and monitoring program? It’s supposed to be actuated when road segment traffic noise levels likely exceed the established levels of significance for our residential neighborhoods? Well city has done little if anything to effectively implement increased enforcement and traffic calming mitigation measures.

Moreover the city couldn’t produce a single record documenting any traffic calming or increased enforcement mitigation or monitoring on 27th street.

Also, consider Modified exhaust Vehicles and large SUVs routinely scream up and down our street at all hours of the day and night at nearly twice the speed limit and the Hermosa Beach Police Department has not been able to produce a record of a single speeding or loud exhaust ticket on our road segment in the last 5 years.

In my view our City Council is abrogating it’s responsibility if it fails to apply the fair argument and substantial evidence standards to the Initial Study and demand an Environmental Impact 29 Report.

Finally, please consider this carefully. It may well be that the westbound incline of 27th is no longer compatible with residential use and residents and prospective buyers have a right to know that.

I strongly support the outdoor dining at Good Stuff. The only good thing about the pandemic was the expansion of outdoor dining in the generally fabulous CA weather. Good Stuff in particular offers the best outdoor, close to the beach experience. It is great for locals and really is the best option for anyone staying at the neighboring Beach House. The extra seating that we have become accustom to means that wait times are reasonable even on busy days. This is a win for patrons and the restaurant. There is still plenty of sidewalk for beach goers to get from the parking structure to the beach on even the busiest days. Let's keep this gem of outdoor dining in Hermosa available for the benefit of everyone! 35 year resident - Lance Keller Chris Brown

I’m writing to ask you to keep outdoor dining decks available and affordable for our businesses. The expansion of outdoor dining during the pandemic was a silver lining to a tough time. Outdoor dining isn’t just good for local 31 businesses, it’s proven great for our residents as it gives them new and better options to enjoy our normally great weather.

As a lifelong resident, I have sensed a more confrontational tone from city hall in the last year or two. Feels like a good time to remind the powers that be our local government should be for the people. Far too often lately it has felt like us versus them. (Resident parking pass restrictions, increased hours of parking meters, making it harder to provide outdoor dining among others). This would be an opportune moment for city government to help its people. Respectfully, Chris Brown

Dear City Staff and City Council,
I have great respect for our Hermosa Beach Police Department and share your support for a safe community.

However, I also have concerns regarding the city's claims that our Downtown Business District, especially latenight establishments, are a public safety cost burden.

The city has been relying on an old Cost Benefit Analysis generated by the Kosmont Corporation in 2015, which may not accurately reflect the current situation after seven years. But even if we take Kosmont's findings at face value, they do not support the city's claims that late-night establishments cost more than they bring in.

In that study, Kosmont specifically states that late-night establishments likely break even on all municipal costs.

There may be other public safety reasons to analyze how Pier Plaza is managed, but the cost trope is not accurate. There is a base cost to offering municipal and police services, and it is unlikely that the city would reduce costs even if all the late-night establishments started closing at 11PM. There may be some reallocation of services, but no reduction in costs. Trash collection, parking enforcement, public safety staffing are highly unlikely to reduce costs merely because seven businesses close at 11PM instead of 2AM.

Furthermore, the Downtown generates more revenue than it costs, and late-night establishments are probably our most significant draw for visitors. If late-night establishments were to go away, it is highly likely that the non late-night businesses, including restaurants and retail, would see significant drops in revenues. Eliminating latenight could have the exact opposite impact as posited by the city.

I also have concerns about the study area for downtown, which is significantly larger than the city's traditional definition of this area. Within the study area, the vast majority of uses are residential, and depending on how Kosmont allocated calls for service, it could be saddling late-night with costs that are residential-related.

In summary, saying that downtown or downtown late-night costs more in police services than it generates in revenue seems inaccurate and misleading.

Finally, the staff report about the Kosmont report included several next steps, including creating more accurate tracking of expenses and comparing these findings to similar downtown areas. I am not sure if either of these steps were taken.

Like you, I want a safe downtown; however, analyzing the data properly is important to making the correct decisions for our city and implementing policies that result in the desired outcomes Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,

I strongly support continued outside dining. It provides a great feel to the downtown area and enhances our experience every time we go out and enjoy our local restaurants and establishments. Lack of parking or other concerns are not an issue.

There are so few places to eat in South Bay while enjoying a view of our ocean, I don't know why the City would not allow for permanent outdoor seating permits, including one for Good Stuff, a long-standing small business in Hermosa. For an ocean that is faced almost completely by a handful of houses, it is important to allow these businesses to maintain outdoor seating and allow more of the general public to enjoy the view.

California is the epitome of outdoor living and outdoor seating for dining is absolutely critical to the success of many coastal eateries.

Please consider the diversity that quaint outdoor settings such as sidewalk seating brings to our neighborhood.

Aside from the health benefits from outside dining, many longtime homeowners and visitors enjoy these impromptu patios at community restaurants, just like the Parisian’s in Paris! There is and will be an abundance of refined/new construction which generally provides an austere aesthetic. But part of Hermosa’s charm as a city has always been its approachability, creativity, and color. As we move forward please allow Hermosa to remain an atmosphere that welcomes its casual creative crowd at least as much as the corporations.

In that study, Kosmont specifically states that late-night establishments likely break even on all municipal costs.

Even a shallow dive into the Kosmont assumptions show the downtown generates $6.8 million in revenue and only costs $2.95 million in police service costs. Late-night, 10PM-3AM, generates $1.3 million in revenue and costs $1.03 million in police expenditures.
35 There may be other public safety reasons to analyze how Pier Plaza is managed, but the cost trope is not accurate.

REPORT 23-0208
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Regular Meeting of April 25, 2023
ADOPT RESOLUTION 23-XX EASEMENT DEDICATION
505 GOULD AVENUE
(Director of Public Works Joe SanClemente)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Adopt Resolution 23-XX (Attachment 2) accepting the easement deed for a sanitary sewer easement in connection with the redevelopment of 505 Gould Avenue; and

2. Authorize City Manager to sign the Certificate of Acceptance (Attachment 4).

Executive Summary:

The subject site, located at 505 Gould Avenue, is a new single-family residential development. The development site includes an existing City-owned and maintained eight-inch sanitary sewer main installed on private property. Through the approval process for the new development, Public Works staff requested the owner of the property to grant a utility easement dedication to the City. If accepted by City Council, the newly dedicated easement would allow maintenance access to the existing Cityowned sewer infrastructure as shown on the Location Map (Attachment 1).

Background:

There are several areas throughout the City where City-owned sanitary sewer infrastructure was installed on private property without dedicated utility easements for the City to access or maintain the infrastructure. Much of the City-owned sanitary sewer infrastructure is 75 to 100 years old, thereby requiring regular maintenance, updating, and emergency repairs. To maintain the existing City sewer infrastructure, Public Works maintenance personnel require adequate access and space to perform the repairs or replacement. Designated utility easements on private property allow the Public Works Department the necessary access to perform regular maintenance and emergency repairs of the City -owned infrastructure as needed.

As a standard practice, the Public Works Department requests the owner of any new development that includes City-owned sewer infrastructure on private property to grant the City a dedicated utility easement for maintenance and access. The standard utility easement width, where no structures are permitted to be built or obstruct the dedicated easement, is ten feet. The location of the existing City of Hermosa Beach Page 1 of 3 Printed on 3/25/2024

REPORT 23-0208
permitted to be built or obstruct the dedicated easement, is ten feet. The location of the existing sewer infrastructure on private property being approximately centered on the northerly property lines requires a five-foot dedicated easement.

On June 29, 2022, the City received an application for the development of a new single-family residence at 505 Gould Avenue. Architectural and Civil Plans were submitted to the Planning and Public Works Departments for review and approval. Through its review, the Public Works Department identified a City-owned and maintained eight-inch sanitary sewer main and access hole located on the subject private property with no dedicated utility easements. Staff requested that the property owner grant a utility easement for access and maintenance to the public sewer system.

Analysis:

As a standard practice, the Public Works Department requests the owner of any new development that includes City-owned sewer infrastructure on private property to grant the City a dedicated utility easement for maintenance and access. The development of 505 Gould Avenue includes an existing City-owned eight-inch sanitary sewer main and maintenance access hole on private property. As a result, staff requested the property owner grant a five-foot utility easement as shown on the Easement Agreement and legal description. The reduced five-foot utility easement is the result of the sewer main being located and centered between two neighboring properties. The property owner granted the utility easement and had a professional land surveyor prepare the attached Easement deed and legal description (Attachment 3).

Staff recommends City Council adopt the resolution accepting the easement deed (Attachment 2) and authorize the City Manager to sign the Certificate of Acceptance (Attachment 4) prior to recordation of easement documents.

General Plan Consistency:

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

Infrastructure Element
Goal 1. Infrastructure systems are functional, safe, and well maintained.

Policy:
· 1.1 Infrastructure systems plan. Establish and adopt an integrated, holistic systems approach to guide infrastructure development, improvement, maintenance, and resilience.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY FIRE AND AMBULANCE
MONTHLY REPORT FOR FEBRUARY 2023
(Emergency Management Coordinator Israel Estrada)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council receive and file the February 2023 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. Staff is currently reworking the monthly data provided by LACoFD and McCormick based on City Council feedback and to ensure a complete picture of monthly service activities. The following report provides details regarding services provided for the month of February 2023.

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 2023.

Staff Report
REPORT 23-0205
Discussion:

The February 2023 monthly report provides an overview of services provided by LACoFD and McCormick Ambulance (Attachment 1: February 2023 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 LACoFD apparatus has the capability to provide 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.

Staff Report
REPORT 23-0205
The February 2023 call transfer report provided by LACoFD indicates that there were no calls that had a longer transfer time than the NFPA standard. Staff is working with LACoFD to incorporate the South Bay Regional Public Communications Authority (RCC) call transfer time data, currently provided semi-annually, into the monthly reports. The RCC call transfer data provides information regarding each call for service from the time that the call first comes into the 9-1-1 system to the time that it is transferred to LACoFD.

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 2023, McCormick Ambulance responded to 61 calls for services within the City of Hermosa Beach. The February 2023 report indicated that 13 calls resulted in delayed Code 3 responses. 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. Of the 13 delayed Code 3 calls, the average response time was ten (10) minutes, eighteen (18) seconds with the longest single response time at seventeen (17) minutes, forty-two (42) seconds.

There were zero delayed Code 2 responses in February 2023. A Code 2 response is one where the responding emergency units are driving with lights and sirens to an emergency classified as a basic life support or BLS call. According to the McCormick Ambulance contract, “response time must not exceed fifteen (15) minutes, zero (0) seconds” for a Code 2 incident.

Staff reviewed the February 2023 McCormick Ambulance monthly report. The following outlines the reasons for the delayed responses:
· Multiple Calls: (6) 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 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
· Crew Error: (4) The crew responded to the wrong address. · APOT: (0) 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 City of Hermosa Beach Page 3 of 5 Printed on 3/25/2024
powered by Legistar™122
Staff Report
REPORT 23-0205
ambulance crew to the hospital for continuation of care. · Traffic: (1) The ambulance was delayed by a red traffic light.

McCormick Ambulance demonstrates a continuous effort to detect and correct service level performance deficiencies by identifying the reason for delayed response times, issuing personnel performance notices when mandatory response requirements are not met and releasing 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 arrived on scene within the allowable timeframe for 48 calls in February 2023, 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.

The proposed initiative limits voters' authority, adopts new and stricter rules for raising taxes and fees, and makes it more difficult to raise revenue to cover costs of providing services.

March 22, 2022 City Council adopted a resolution expressing opposition to the Taxpayer Protection & Government Accountability Act Initiative No. 21-0042A1
Discussion:

Senate Bill 381 (Min) Electric Bicycles: Study
As the popularity of e-bikes continues to rise, the safety issues associated with this mode of transportation require further evaluation. Senate Bill 381 would provide the Legislature with the data needed to make informed decisions on future e-bike legislation by directing the Mineta Transportation Institute to collect data on e-bikes and report its findings to legislature.

Based on Council’s prior expressed support for e-bike safety and the need for legislation to support local enforcement efforts, Mayor Jackson signed and submitted a letter of support for Senate Bill 381 and submitted the letter to the bill’s author, State Senator Dave Min. Staff recommends Council receive and file the March 22, 2023 letter (Attachment 1).

Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act Initiative No. 21-0042A1 In the state of California, cities use revenues raised from local taxes, fees and charges, and fines to pay for local services, including, but not limited to, police and fire services, street and sidewalk maintenance, and recreation programs.

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

Local governments seeking to institute new, or increase existing taxes and fees are required by law to comply with a clear public process. The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act Initiative 21-0042A1 would result in several changes that would impose greater restrictions on local governments’ ability to raise revenue to cover costs of providing services.

Based on Council’s prior expressed opposition to the initiative, Mayor Jackson signed and submitted a letter of opposition to the initiative and submitted the letter to the League of California Cities. Staff City of Hermosa Beach Page 2 of 4 Printed on 3/25/2024

Sacramento, CA 95814
Subject: SB 381 (Min) Electric Bicycles: Study—SUPPORT
Dear Senator Min:

On behalf of the City of Hermosa Beach, I am writing to express our support for SB 381, which would direct the Mineta Transportation Institute at San Jose State University to conduct a study on electric bicycles to inform efforts to improve the safety of riders and pedestrians. Specifically, this bill will look to guide research of key causes of injuries and fatalities from electric bicycle usage using data collected from a variety of sources.

The City of Hermosa Beach is a coastal community in Southern California and, since the pandemic, has observed a rise in electric bicycle sales. Although the surge in popularity for electrical bicycles is important for reducing carbon emissions generated by traditional gasoline-powered automobiles, electrical bicycles have also led to a rise in injuries, accidents, and emergency room visits. Our law enforcement department cannot solve this problem alone. We, as a city, have tried to solve this problem by focusing on the Three E’s: Education, Engineering, and Enforcement, but it is not having a long-lasting effect, and cannot without proper legislation that controls who has access to these types of bicycles.

Our community is pointing to our police officers to find a solution and it is setting an unrealistic expectation for all.

The legislative agenda in Sacramento over the past few years has focused on laws that minimize law enforcement's role in traffic stops for minor violations. By not addressing the issue, legislators are creating a reality where the only solution left for local communities is MORE police enforcement. Our own Chief of Police Paul LeBaron has been the chair of the California Peace Officers Association Law and Legislative Committee for the past two years and has worked extensively with lawmakers to bring about change in how law enforcement interacts with the community. A lack of movement on this issue is contrary to the good work being done in other areas.

Existing law defines an electric bicycle to mean a bicycle equipped with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts, and subjects a person riding an electric bicycle to provisions of law governing the operation of a bicycle.

The bill would require the study to examine or compile, examine, identify, and analyze available information regarding, among other things, data on injuries, accidents, crashes, emergency room visits, and deaths related to bicycles and electronic electric bicycles and data on best practices for safety of regular bicycles versus electric bicycles. best practices for policy to promote safe use of electric bicycles.

Sacramento, CA 95814
Subject: Taxpayer Protection & Government Accountability Act Initiative 21-0042A1 –

OPPOSITION
Dear Mr. Obando:

On behalf of the City of Hermosa Beach, I am writing to express our opposition to the Taxpayer Protection & Government Accountability Act Initiative 21–0042A1. At its March 22, 2022 meeting, the Hermosa Beach City Council adopted a resolution opposing the developersponsored proposition aimed for the November 2024 statewide ballot that would significantly jeopardize cities’ ability to provide essential services and infrastructure for our residents.

The measure includes undemocratic provisions that would make it more difficult for local voters to pass measures needed to fund local services and infrastructure and would create barriers for cities to maintain and generate the necessary revenue to provide essential services to communities, including local infrastructure, protecting our environment, water quality, air quality, and natural resources. It would also restrict the authority of state and local governments to issue fines and penalties for corporations and property owners that violate state and local laws.

Unless defeated, the measure puts billions of dollars currently dedicated to local services at risk, and could force cuts to fire and emergency response, law enforcement, public health, parks, libraries, affordable housing, services to support homeless residents, mental health services, and more.

For these reasons, the City of Hermosa Beach Opposes the Taxpayer Protection & Government Accountability Act Initiative 21-0042A1. Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact our City Manager, Suja Lowenthal at [email protected].

Sincerely,
Ray Jackson, Mayor

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

REPORT 23-0213
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Regular Meeting of April 25, 2023
RESOLUTION APPROVING CHANGES TO THE 2022-2025 MEMORANDUM

Staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) approving a Side Letter Agreement (Attachment 3) between the City of Hermosa Beach and General and Supervisory Employees’ Bargaining Unit California Teamsters Local 911, modifying Article 47, Section B.1. to move Chavez Day and Juneteenth from Section B.1.a to B.1.b.

Executive Summary:

Upon completion of a meet and confer process, staff recommends modification of the 2022-2025 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Hermosa Beach and the California Teamsters Union Local 911 under Article 47-Holidays, Section B.1 to correct an administrative oversight pertaining to holidays for the Community Service Officers and Supervisors.

Background:

The Meyers-Milias Brown Act requires that local public agencies negotiate with its respective bargaining units regarding wages, hours, and working conditions. At its October 25, 2022 meeting, City Council approved the MOU (Attachment 2) between the City of Hermosa Beach and the California Teamsters Local 911 for the period of July 1, 2022 through and including June 30, 2025.

REPORT 23-0213
Discussion:

Teamsters and Management representatives jointly agree that the adopted July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025 California Teamsters Local 911 MOU, under Article 47-Holidays, the two new holidays, Cesar Chavez Day (March 31) and Juneteenth (June 19) were incorrectly placed under Section B.1.a, and should have been placed under Section B.1.b. The holidays listed under Section B.1.a allows all Community Services Officers (CSO) and Supervisors to have the day off with pay, which results in no parking enforcement on these holidays. The holidays listed under Section B.1.a include Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day. The holidays listed under Section B.1.b allows Community Service Officers and Supervisors, who are scheduled to work on holidays to report to work and receive holiday pay. Parking enforcement and other services provided by the CSO team would continue during these holidays. The holidays listed under Section B.1.b include Martin Luther King Jr.’s Birthday, President’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Veteran’s Day. Both parties agree this was an administrative oversight and that Cesar Chavez Day and Juneteenth should be classified under Section B.1.b, ensuring continuity of service to the community.

Effective March 24, 2023, the California Teamsters Local 911 and Management representatives agreed to execute a Side Letter Agreement (Attachment 3) outlining the changes to Article 47- Holidays. As such, staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) to approve a change to Article 47, Section B.1., Community Service Officers and Supervisors to move Chavez Day and Juneteenth from Section B.1.a to B.1.b.

8 hours Saturday. The work week for employees working other than a Monday through Friday schedule shall be defined in such a manner as to comply with FLSA work period requirements

commencing 1101 hrs. Friday and terminating the following Friday at 1100 hrs. The work week for employees working other than a Monday through Friday schedule shall be defined in such a manner as to comply with FLSA work period requirements. The “9/80” schedule provides eighty (80) scheduled hours in a 14-day (two week) cycle where (1) one week the employee works four 9-hour work-days and one 8-hour workday, and (2) the subsequent week consists of four 9-hour workdays with one day off. The “work week” for FLSA overtime purposes shall be established as four hours into the shift of the eight-hour day and in such a manner that no Consecutive seven-day (168 hour) period shall exceed 40 hours.

3. For employees working a 3/36 schedule: The 3/36 schedule shall be established in such a manner so as to be in compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) regarding overtime.

D. The City and Union agree that employees covered by this Agreement who are subject to the biannual daylight savings time changes will not be eligible for compensation or be subject to loss of paid time because of the change in hours.

E. If an employee works on a holiday that falls on their regular workday the employee shall receive compensation at a rate of time and one half in addition to their regular 165
9 rate of pay for that day. The effect of this is to pay two and one-half times the employee’s regular rate of pay. The employee may choose to receive either compensatory time off or pay for those hours.

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. In addition, the employee will accrue Holiday comp time for the holiday. The effect of this is to pay two and one-half times the employees’ regular rate of pay.

G. If a holiday falls on the employee’s regularly scheduled day off and the employee does not work that day, the employee shall accrue Holiday Comp time for the holiday in accordance with the holiday schedule based on the employee’s regular work schedule.

H. All overtime for Police Service Officers shall be distributed in the following manner:

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

1. To meet immediate staffing levels, i.e. being held over for an unforeseen heavy workload or immediate emergency.

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.

ARTICLE 28 – REDUCED HOUR POSITIONS
A. Subject to Civil Service hiring requirements, City may hire employees in permanent positions of at least twenty (20) hours/week but less than forty (40) hours/week; such positions are subject to the provisions of this Memorandum of Understanding provided however that City paid Medical and Dental premiums shall cover the employee only.

Said employees are subject to the Agency Shop clause.
166
10 B. Completion of a probationary period in a position of at least 20 hours/week is applicable to any/all such positions; seniority shall accrue from date of appointment regardless of hours worked (at least twenty (20) hours/week and up to forty (40) hours/week).

D. Employees in "Reduced Hours Positions" shall be given consideration for all full time positions before consideration of other hiring to fill full time positions.

ARTICLE 57 - GRIEVANCES/APPEAL OF DISCIPLINE
A. Purpose of Grievance/Appeal Procedures:

1. To promote improved Employer-employee relations by establishing procedures on matters.

2. To provide that Grievances/Appeals shall be settled as near as possible to the point of origin.

3. To provide that the Grievance/Appeal procedures shall be as informal as possible.

B. A "Grievance” shall be defined as a controversy between the City and the Union or an employee or employees covered by this Agreement. Such controversy must pertain to any of the following:

1. Any matter involving the application of any provision of this Agreement; or

2. Any matter involving the violations of any provision or intent of this Agreement; or
187
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.

C. An Appeal of Discipline is distinct from a Grievance in that it is an action taken by an employee to request an administrative review of disciplinary action initiated against him or her.

D. There shall be an earnest effort on the part of both parties to settle grievances/appeals promptly through the steps listed below. Grievances/Appeals must be processed with Union participation.

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. Appeals of written reprimands shall be presented to the Human Resources Manager/Director.

A meeting with the employee, shop steward and Department Director/Human Resources Manager/Director (or designee) will be arranged at a mutually agreeable location and time to review and discuss the Grievance/Appeal. Such meeting will take place within ten (10) calendar days from the date the Grievance/Appeal is received by the Department Director/Personnel Director (or designee). The Department Director/Human Resources Manager/Director (or designee) may invite other Members of management to be present at such meeting. The Department Director/Human Resources Manager/Director (or designee) will give a written reply by the end of the seventh (7th) calendar day following the date of the meeting, and the giving of such reply will terminate Step 2.

G. An appeal of Discipline in the form of a Written Notice shall not be continued beyond the second step.

H. In the case of an appeal of discipline in the form of a written reprimand, if the appeal is not resolved to the satisfaction of the disciplined employee, the employee may request the matter be submitted to a mediator who is a Member of the State of California Mediation Service. Any such request for mediation shall be made within 7 calendar days of the conclusion of Step 2 of the Appeal process. Following mediation, any determination regarding the written reprimand shall be final and no further appeal shall be allowed.
188
32 I. STEP 3 - If the Grievance/Appeal is not settled in Step 2, it shall be submitted to the City Manager. The Union Representative and City Manager or his designee shall, within seven (7) calendar days after the termination of Step 2, arrange a meeting to be held at a mutually agreeable location and time to review and discuss the Grievance/Appeal. Such meeting will take place within ten (10) calendar days from the date the Grievance/Appeal is referred to Step 3. A decision shall be rendered within seven (7) calendar days from the date of such meeting. The decision shall be in writing. The giving of such reply will terminate Step 3.

J. Time limits, as set forth above for each of the steps may be extended by mutual Agreement between the parties but neither party shall be required to so agree.

K. In the event the Union calls witnesses that must be excused from work, the City agrees to excuse same in a paid status. The parties agree that in the event the Union Member or the Union fail to comply with the time limits contained herein, such failure constitutes a waiver of the right to prosecute the Grievance/Appeal; it is further agreed that in the event the City or its representatives fail to comply with the prescribed time limits, such failure constitutes an agreement to concur with the grievant’s/appellant's position and remedy.

L. It is not intended that the grievance procedure be used to effect changes in the established salary and fringe benefits.

ARTICLE 58 – ARBITRATION
A. Grievances/Appeals which are not settled pursuant to the Grievance/Appeal procedure herein and which either party desires to contest further, shall be submitted to arbitration as provided in this Article provided however that said Request for Arbitration shall be made within twenty (20) calendar days of the conclusion of Step 3 of the Grievance/Appeal procedure.

B. As soon as possible and in any event not later than fourteen (14) calendar days after either party received written notice from the other of the desire to arbitrate, the parties shall agree upon an arbitrator. If no Agreement is reached within said fourteen (14) calendar days, an arbitrator shall be selected from a list of seven (7) arbitrators submitted by the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service by alternate striking of names until one name remains. The party who strikes the first name from the panel shall be determined by lot.

C. Either the City or the Union may call any employee as a witness, and the City agrees to release said witness from work if he is on duty. If an employee witness is called by the City, the City will reimburse him for time lost; if called by the Union; the Union may pay the expense.

D. The arbitrator shall have no power to alter, amend, change, add to or subtract from any of the terms of this Agreement. The decision of the arbitrator shall be based 189
33 solely upon the evidence and arguments presented to him by the respective parties in the presence of each other.

E. The decision of the arbitrator within the limits herein prescribed shall be final and binding upon the parties to the dispute.

F. The mutual decision of the parties and/or the arbitrator in any dispute shall be the final and binding decision on all parties and there shall not be any appeal to another board, authority, commission and/or agency for it is the intent of this Agreement to supplant the Civil Service (Personnel Board) hearing and appeal system with the provisions of this Article.

G. The arbitrator may hear and determine only one grievance/appeal at a time without the express Agreement of the City and the Union. The parties shall share equally the expense of the cost of the arbitration, with the exception of counsel's fees.

ARTICLE 59 – CIVIL SERVICE RULES
The Union is in agreement with the City’s intent to place a measure on the November 8, 2022 ballot to repeal Ordinance No. N.S. 211 adopted in 1960 pertaining to the City’s Civil Service System as set forth Chapter 2.76 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code pertaining to Civil Service. The Union understands that the repeal of the Ordinance is necessary to allow the City to update its personnel rules and civil service rules. 190

REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF SPONSORSHIP DONATION TO
MIRA COSTA HIGH SCHOOL GRAD NITE 2023
(City Manager Suja Lowenthal)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council approve a sponsorship donation of $1,000 to the Mira Costa High School G.R.A.D. Booster Club for 2023.

Executive Summary:

Sponsorship donation requests from Mira Costa High School to support a drug-free and alcohol-free graduation celebration have been approved annually since 1998. The amount originally approved in 1998, and subsequently requested annually, is $1,000.

Background:

G.R.A.D Nite (Graduates Resisting Alcohol and Drugs) has been a Mira Costa tradition for over twenty-five years. Sponsorship donation requests from Mira Costa High School have been approved annually since 1998. The amount originally approved in 1998, and subsequently requested annually, is $1,000. This program encourages seniors to celebrate with other graduates, in a drug-free and alcohol-free environment.

Discussion:

The G.R.A.D Nite event is supervised and is a sober event for graduates to celebrate safely with their peers on graduation night. Graduates are bussed to the destination where they are fed and entertained. Ticket prices are kept low to encourage attendance, and scholarships, in the form of no cost attendance, are provided to students who otherwise could not afford to attend. One hundred percent of donations cover scholarships to students to offset the cost of G.R.A.D Nite and the cost of the event.

Fiscal Impact:

Funds for this donation are included in the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Budget under the City Council Special Events Account, 001-1101-4319.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Regular Meeting of April 25, 2023
REQUEST FOR HISTORIC RESOURCES PRESERVATION (HRR22-01) FOR DESIGNATION OF A LANDMARK FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2204 MONTEREY BOULEVARD IN THE CITY

OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA
(Community Development Director Carrie Tai)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) approving Historic Resources Preservation No. 22-01 to designate the property located at 2204 Monterey Boulevard as a City of Hermosa Beach Landmark and make the determination that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Executive Summary:

On April 7, 2022, the property owner of 2204 Monterey Boulevard submitted an application to nominate their home as a Hermosa Beach Landmark as outlined per the requirements of Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Chapter 17.53, Historic Resources Preservation. The home is a single-family residence constructed in 1913 and is designed in the Craftsman architectural style.

GPA Consulting conducted an analysis of the property for its eligibility in meeting one or more of the requirements of landmark status as outlined in HBMC Section 17.53.060. Based on their analysis, the property qualifies for designation as a Hermosa Beach landmark under Section 17.53.050.C and retains sufficient physical integrity to convey its significance.

Background:

The City's historic resources preservation program was established in 1998 and is outlined in the HBMC under Chapter 17.53 Historic Resources Preservation. This program encourages property owners of historically significant structures or sites to voluntarily apply for local landmark status. A property owner(s) or the City are the only individual(s)/entities that may nominate the designation of an individual property, building, or structure as a Historic Landmark, by submitting the Historic Landmark Nomination Application. The application must have the written consent of the property owner(s).

Subsequent to the application being deemed complete by the Planning Division, no building, City of Hermosa Beach Page 1 of 11 Printed on 4/25/2023 powered by Legistar™215
Staff Report
REPORT 23-0244
Subsequent to the application being deemed complete by the Planning Division, no building, alteration, demolition, removal, or relocation permits for any historic resource, improvement, building or structure relative to a proposed landmark shall be issued until a final determination is made regarding the proposed designation. The City Council has no more than 70 days from the initial hearing date to approve, in whole or in part, or disapprove the designation.

In recognition that payment of application fees and any additional third-party review may be financially burdensome to residential property owners, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 22- 7337 at its August 9, 2022 meeting, authorizing the Community Development Department to approve fee waiver applications for Historic Resources Nominations. Additionally, the City Council directed staff to utilize a prima facie review to determine if a property would likely satisfy the HBMC requirements and qualify for a fee waiver. Upon the initial assessment of this application, staff determined that the property qualified for filing, review, and the respective fee waiver.

architecture; and, reviewing and analyzing ordinances, regulations, and technical materials relating to Federal, State, and local historic preservation designations, including the process to evaluate the property for significance as a Hermosa Beach Landmark.

Property Description
The property is located at 2204 Monterey Boulevard and is a single-family home that was constructed in 1913 and designed in the Craftsman architectural stye. It is located on a rectangular shaped lot on Monterey Boulevard at S. Park Avenue in the First Addition Tract in the Sand Section neighborhood of Hermosa Beach. It is a single-story structure with a raised concrete foundation, cross-gabled roof clad in composite shingles with wide, overhanging eaves with extended rafter tails behind added fascia boards.

The structure’s floor plan is T-shaped and is covered in a combination of horizontal wood clapboard siding along the bottom half of the first floor and wood shingles along the upper half. The front porch is enclosed (an alteration after c. 1946) and is covered in stucco with shingles in the upper gable and include multi-light casement windows. Other windows are a mix of divided light double hung designs arranged individually, in pairs, and in groups of three, large single and divided light fixed styles.

The surrounds of the property include a small stucco retaining wall and painted wood picket fence.

The lot is landscaped with brick paving, plants, and trees. The south (primary) elevation faces Monterey Boulevard and includes a single solid Dutch door entrance with narrow wood shutters (both are later alterations) on each side. The entrance is located on the enclosed front porch that is topped with a gable roof.

All of the other elevations include similar treatments such as gabled roofs, extended eaves, and exposed rafter tails. Fenestration on these elevations include a bay window on the east elevation, and a combination of casement, divided light double hung, and singular double hung windows. The north elevation is the only elevation that does not have any fenestration.

Construction and Ownership History
The original building permit was issued in 1913 for 24 feet by 34 feet one-story single-family residence. Since its construction, it has undergone minor modifications including 10 feet by 14 feet addition in 1914, unknown repair work in 1936, and the replacement of a 30-inch wall in 1962. This wall is likely the retaining wall that surrounds the lot. Subsequent permits identify a new garage built in 1974 to replace the 1914 garage and one in 1979 when a segment of the roof was raised to match the existing roof.

Evaluation for Local Landmark Designation
Per Section 17.53.060 of the HMBC, a historic resource in accordance with 17.53.070 through

17.53.120, may be designated as a Landmark if it satisfies one or more of the five (A thought E) designation criteria.

Criterion A: It exemplifies, symbolizes, or manifests elements of the cultural, social, economic, political, or architectural history.

The analysis conducted at the site indicates that the property does not exemplify, symbolize, or manifest elements of the cultural, social, economic, political, or architectural history or development of Hermosa Beach. The property merely reflects a continuation of an early trend of residential development of the First Addition Tract by an owner-builder. The property reflects the early trend of residential development within the First Addition Tract of Hermosa Beach, however, the association City of Hermosa Beach Page 4 of 11 Printed on 4/25/2023 powered by Legistar™218
Staff Report
REPORT 23-0244
residential development within the First Addition Tract of Hermosa Beach, however, the association with this trend itself does not substantiate significance.

Therefore, the property does not meet the requirements of Criterion A.

Criterion B: It is identified with persons or events significant in local, state, or national history.

Research did not reveal any evidence that the original or subsequent owners listed above (see Table 2) would be considered historic personages, or that they made any demonstrably significant contributions to local, state, or national history while working in their respective fields. Research also did not reveal any evidence of association with an historic event.

Therefore, the property does not meet the requirements of Criterion B.

Criterion C: It embodies distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period, or method of construction, or is a valuable example of the use of indigenous materials or craftsmanship.

While the Craftsman style is common throughout Southern California, not many intact examples remain in Hermosa Beach. The subject property embodies the style as applied to a modest, onestory house by an owner-builder.

Therefore, the property is significant under Criterion C as a good and rare example of a modest Craftsman bungalow in Hermosa Beach.

Criterion D: It is representative of the notable work of a builder, designer, or architect.

The original 1913 building permit identifies the original owner, F. A. Kidder, as the contractor. While Kidder was a builder/contractor, research did not reveal that he was considered a significant builder, as there is no information of note on his other buildings. The subject property is the only known example of his work to be identified as part of the research report.

Additional contractors and architects were associated with the modification of the property such as:

Merrill and Dan Richardson. However, additional information regarding their personal histories or works could not be ascertained. Even if any architects or contractors associated with the property were determined to be notable, their work consisted of minor additions to a pre-existing property, would likely not be considered a notable example of their work.

Therefore, the property does not meet the requirements of Criterion D.

Criterion E: Its unique location or singular physical characteristic(s) represents an established and familiar visual feature or landmark of a neighborhood, community, or the City.

The property is centrally located in Hermosa Beach’s Sand Section neighborhood. It has remained mostly unchanged since construction, however much of the surrounding neighborhood has been City of Hermosa Beach Page 5 of 11 Printed on 4/25/2023 powered by Legistar™219
Staff Report
REPORT 23-0244
mostly unchanged since construction, however much of the surrounding neighborhood has been developed and redeveloped since 1913. The property is a regularly-shaped, corner parcel and is surrounded by contemporary multi-story single family residences and large multi-family residences that range in size, scale, and construction date. The property is not a unique location, possess a singular visual characteristic, nor is it an established or familiar visual feature.

Therefore, the property does not meet the requirements of Criterion E.

Evaluation Summary
The property located at 2204 Monterey Boulevard appears to be significant under Hermosa Beach Criterion C, for a good and rare example of a modest Craftsman style bungalow within the City of Hermosa Beach. The property’s period of significance is 1913, the year of construction.

Integrity
Integrity is a property’s ability to convey its historic significance through its physical features and includes seven aspects as defined by the National Register Bulletin: location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. To convey significance, a property must retain some combination of these aspects of integrity from its period of significance.

Location: The place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the historic event occurred.

The property retains integrity of location as there is no evidence to suggest the property has been moved since it was constructed in 1913.

Design: The combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of the property.

The property retains integrity of design. Existing characteristics of the building, including its rectangular massing and irregular plan, decorative detailing and extensive use of wood shingles and siding, and the majority of its fenestration that reflects its original aesthetic, style, and function.

Although the front porch and rear patio have been enclosed, the building retains its footprint and overall design from 1913.

Setting: The physical environment of a historic property.

The integrity of setting has been compromised. The immediate setting has been retained as the original building footprint remains relatively unchanged with no major new additions. The original garage was removed but replaced in its original location. The broader setting has not been retained but rather altered with contemporary construction directly next to, behind, and across from the subject property, such that the neighborhood no longer reflects the same feeling from the building’s City of Hermosa Beach Page 6 of 11 Printed on 4/25/2023 powered by Legistar™220
Staff Report
REPORT 23-0244
original construction date.

Materials: The physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular period of time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property.

The property retains integrity of materials. The key exterior materials are present, including wood windows, wood shingles and clapboard siding. The front porch has been enclosed with divided light metal casement windows and stucco cladding; however, it retains the same roofline and footprint.

Two windows on the west elevation facing the neighboring property have been replaced with a garden window and a leaded window; however, there are sufficient original windows remaining to convey the residence’s original materials palette. The stained-glass window which was located where the leaded window is has been retained onsite by the property owner.

Workmanship: The physical evidence or the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory.

The property retains integrity of workmanship which is conveyed through the construction techniques that made the configuration of the property possible, as well as more minute details including the divided-light wooden windows, wood shingle and clapboard siding, and exposed eaves with extended rafters.

Feeling: A property’s expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time.

The property retains integrity of feeling, as the combination of its intact location, design, (immediate) setting, materials, and workmanship evoke the sense of an early 1910s Craftsman style residence.

Association: The direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property.

The integrity of association is not relevant as the property is significant under Criterion A or B.

Character Defining Features
Character-defining features are the architectural components that contribute to a building’s sense of time and place and may be grouped into three categories: visual character, exterior materials and craftsmanship, and interior spaces (not required for this analysis). The importance of these features depends on the level of craftsmanship, visibility, and integrity.

The character-defining features identified below are considered the most important elements contributing to the significance of the property and include features that date from the period of significance, directly relate to the original use, type, and style, display craftsmanship, are highly visible, and retain integrity.

Evaluation Conclusion
The residence at 2204 Monterey Boulevard is significant as an example of a modest Craftsman style bungalow in the First Addition Tract in the Sand Section neighborhood of Hermosa Beach. The property retains integrity of location, design, materials, workmanship, and feeling, and therefore, has sufficient physical integrity to convey its historical significance. As such, the residence appears to be eligible for listing as a Hermosa Beach Landmark under Criterion C.

Administration of Local Historical Landmarks
Once the City Council designates a property as a Local Historic Landmark (landmark), the property is listed on the local register of landmarks and all appropriate City departments will be notified of the designation of the landmark to incorporate the notice of designation into its records. The Community Development Department maintains the list which currently includes:
· The Bijou Theater at 1229-1235 Hermosa Avenue; and
· The Hermosa Beach Community Center at 710 Pier Avenue.

Alterations to a Landmark
Pursuant to HBMC Section 17.53.140, any modification to a property listed on the City’s register of landmarks will require a Certificate of Appropriateness, unless otherwise exempted.

Prior to any alteration, demolition, removal, or relocation of any interior or exterior improvement or architectural feature of a landmark or potential landmark, a Certificate of Appropriateness shall be acquired prior to issuance of a permit and shall conform to the requirements outlined in Chapter

17.53 of the HMBC. With a local designation, the landmark would be able to utilize the California Historical Building Code as an alternative to complying with the building standards in HBMC Title 15, City of Hermosa Beach Page 8 of 11 Printed on 4/25/2023 powered by Legistar™222
Staff Report
REPORT 23-0244
Building Code.

The Council may identify and adopt a list of alterations that are considered “minor” in nature, that will allow for minor improvements from time to time as circumstances warrant. Minor alterations shall not require a public hearing and are subject to the review and approval of the Community Development Director.

Removal of Landmark Status
If a landmark encounters substantial destruction, the owner(s) may apply for removal of the designation. The City Council may also initiate the removal of the designation in such circumstances.

The process for the removal of the designation shall conform to the requirements of Chapter 17.53 of the HMBC. Additionally, the complete demolition or removal of a landmark will result in the removal of the landmark designation. Once a designation has been removed, affected properties shall no longer be subject to the requirements of Chapter 17.53 of the HMBC.

Mills Act
Owners of qualified historic landmarks are able to apply for property tax reductions under the Mills Act, which is a State program administered and implemented by local governments which grants authority to enter into a minimum 10-year contract. In exchange, the conditions of a contract would require owners to restore, maintain, and protect the property in accordance with specific historic preservation standards and conditions outlined in the contract and/or the jurisdiction’s development code.

The property owner has not applied for a Mills Act contract at this time. Furthermore, if the City wishes to establish Mills Act contracts, the HMBC may need proper amendments to ensure that the Historic Resources Preservation Ordinance (HMBC Chapter 17.53) is in line with current industry standards.
