RE: Hermosa Beach Police Officers Association v. City of Hermosa Beach Dear Mayor Massey and City Council:

It appears City Manager Lowenthal unilaterally made a significant organizational change to the Hermosa Beach Police Department without informing the public or seeking City Council approval.

It was brought to my attention by Case# LA-CE-1582-M of an Unfair Practice Charge was filed by the Hermosa Beach Police Officers Association to the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB).

Regardless of the ruling by the PERB, the bigger issue is the lack of open and transparent governance by the City of Hermosa Beach. This is not an unique situation, but a pattern and practice by the City.

See attached legal document:
opposition to two Police Lieutenants being granted status and pay as Captains without having to undergo a civil service testing process, as well
the structure of the Police Department (promoting the Lieutenants without a testing process and providing them a gift of public funds; eliminating at least one sergeant and two lieutenant positions from the Hermosa Beach POA, and other violations of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act. It should be noted that the California Public Employment Relations Board has issued a charge against the City of Hermosa Beach for their unlawful actions.

This is an issue that needs to be addressed publicly, and at least one member of the City Council should question the City Manager on this topic during the next City Council meeting following her report.

Very respectfully,
Matt McCool

Dear City Council
Dear City Manager
Re: Nov 29 Civic Center Session
I would like to recap the 29 Nov Civic Center Study Session. Sadly, my first impression was it as much of a sales job and it was a study session.

Consider the 2016 Civic Center Study said:
“The existing City Hall was built in the 1960's and then renovated in 2000.

Of the existing facilities studied, City Hall could serve the City for another 50 years if renovated and expanded to meeting current staffing and service levels”.

Why does the Council think our current City Manager who allowed the rapid decay of our City Hall and has had 5 years and 3 different Public Works Directors to turn things around and deliver projects on-time on-budget and fix deferred maintenance problems is the right person to lead a massive infrastructure now?
I welcome evidence to the contrary but when you look at projects from the Clark Building to the Parks Restrooms, from the delayed & over budget City Yard project to the purchase of four Police Cruiser EVs that recently came in 90% over budget, from our delayed Housing Plan to our delayed coastal commission plan our City Manager has not demonstrated she is up to the job.

I don’t see how the Council could possibly think she is the right person to bring a massive Civic Center project in on-time and on-budget.

Let’s take a hard look at the facts.

Mr. Fullerton said the 2016 study concluded that there had been $4,000,000 in deferred maintenance and that amounted to $7,000,000 in todays dollars but because we missed the 2016-2023 maintenance window, renovation and expansion of City Hall is no longer an economically viable.

Another way of looking at this is that years of prioritizing other projects and intentionally deferring building maintenance costs has essentially forced the taxpayers hands and now City Hall replacement is the only option.

We are also told there is between $5 million -$13 million dollars of Civic Center (old building) deferred maintenance costs that won’t be included in Mr. Fullerton’s $80- 23 $120 million estimated Civic Center project budget because maintenance costs on old buildings are too difficult to estimate. Huh?
Add to this the fact that $30 million for the proposed new Ardmore underground parking facility was not included in Mr Fullerton’s $80-$120 million estimate and you can see we are well on our way to a $165 million
Civic Center project.

Then we have a fairly large parks masterplan and improvements hanging over our budgetary heads.

Mr. Fullerton says the goal is a [massive] so called cost neutral P3 City facilities project.

That’s certainly the city managers goal.

Mr. Fullerton also suggests a Public Private Partnership (P3) plan using community center site to build a new library, a new police station and a new 2 story city hall and new underground parking facility is the best way forward.

He also notes this is likely the most expensive option, He suggests the way forward is to use the existing library, city hall and base 3 (dog pound) properties to fund the massive project costs by either selling off this real estate or committing it to long term public/private leases for a large new hotel; as if selling or committing city property to long term leases wasn’t a real and significant cost.

Mr Fullerton implied there was a community consensus around a new “signature” City Hall AND a new large hotel but he presented no evidence.

Are we to believe a signature city hall will revitalized the downtown business community?
I think nearly everyone agrees that selling off scarce Hermosa Beach property should only be done if there is an overwhelming reason to do so.

Moreover, large scale long term private sector leases come with significant opportunity costs.

These opportunity costs must be carefully evaluated. P3 is not free or cost neutral.

At this point, before our extreemly small city invests 100s of millions of dollars and set a direction for the next 70 years we need to first ask do Hermosa, Manhattan and Redondo Beach all need signature city halls, libraries and police departments.

Is our long future joining forces in a Public (P1) Partnership with Manhattan and Redondo
24 Beach to reduce our small city’s large overhead costs? It’s a fair question, no? Mr Fullerton cited 5 cities where he claimed Public Private partnerships had been used successfully to implement cost neutral Civic Center projects: San Diego, Long Beach, Newport Beacj Torrance and Garden Grove.

Although P3 certainly warrants a look the evidence that these projects were successful or scale well to Hermosa Beach with its scarce land resources was sketchy at best. Much more evidence is needed.

And one of Mr. Fullerton’s examples, Newport Beach has been bedeviled with city hall cost overruns and project delays.

Moreover, the need for a large hotel is not clear. The city has a new 30 bed hotel on Hermosa Ave another ~15 bed hotel planned for South Hermosa and has allowed short term rentals in the downtown area.

Large scale long term private sector leases of scarce Hermosa Beach real estate also come with huge opportunity costs.

Councilman Massey said in an attempt to excuse the questionable City Managers deferred City Hall maintenance choices:

We have aging facilities in the city like many local governments, Torrance, Burbank, Garden Grove as was mentioned. But just about every city has a ton of deferred maintenance, a ton of aging infrastructure.

How do statements like this promote accountability?
One thing is clear no matter what path we choose going forward, the Civic Center community engagement process must be resident-centric and not stacked with staff or non-resident business owners.

Clearly Fullerton Consulting Group should NOT be chosen to lead the community engagement process nor should Councilman Massey or Jackson be chosen to sit on the Community Engagement Committee
They have already put the cart before the horse and shown their hand in favor of Option A.

Anthony Higgins.

(Deputy City Manager Angela Crespi)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council receive and file the October 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. The following report provides details regarding services provided for the month of October 2023.

Background:

At the February 11, 2020 Council meeting, City Council requested monthly reports on the City Council agenda under consent calendar. Monthly reports began to appear commencing with the July 14, 2020 City Council agenda. The enclosed report reflects the services for October 2023.

REPORT 23-0724
The October 2023 monthly report provides an overview of services provided by LACoFD and McCormick Ambulance (Attachment 1-October 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 for EMS related calls and 80 seconds for structure fire calls. NFPA further stipulates that for EMS calls, responding units must arrive on scene within 8 minutes and 59 seconds 90 percent of the time.

The October 2023 call transfer report provided by LACoFD indicates that there were four calls with a transfer time longer than the NFPA standard. Staff is working with LACoFD to incorporate the South City of Hermosa Beach Page 2 of 5 Printed on 12/7/2023

transfer time longer 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.

Table 1 below provides the response details for the incidents in Hermosa Beach.

McCormick Ambulance
McCormick Ambulances are staffed by two EMTs who can provide and transport BLS patients independently and, with the support of LACoFD paramedics riding in the ambulance, can also City of Hermosa Beach Page 3 of 5 Printed on 12/7/2023

REPORT 23-0724
transport ALS patients.

In October 2023, McCormick Ambulance responded to 52 calls for services within the City of Hermosa Beach. The October 2023 report indicated that six 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 six delayed Code 3 calls, the average response time was eleven (11) minutes, thirty (30) seconds with the longest single response time at fourteen (14) minutes, one (1) second.

There were two delayed Code 2 responses in October 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. Of the two delayed Code 2 calls, the average response time was sixteen (16) minutes, twelve (12) seconds, with the longest single response time at sixteen (16) minutes, fifteen (15) seconds.

Staff reviewed the October 2023 McCormick Ambulance monthly report. The following outlines the reasons for the delayed responses:
· Distance: (2) The responding crew encountered heavy traffic along the route; · Multiple Calls: (4) The dispatch center received multiple calls at the same time; · Crew Error: (2) The crew initially responded to the wrong location.

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 44 calls in October 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 City of Hermosa Beach Page 4 of 5 Printed on 12/7/2023

REPORT 23-0692
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Regular Meeting of December 12, 2023
CONFIRMATION OF DIRECTOR’S DETERMINATION OF SIMILAR USE (DD 23-01) FOR THE

RENTAL OF FOUR OR FEWER RACING CAR SIMULATORS (AMUSEMENT OR

ENTERTAINMENT MACHINES) AS SIMILAR TO THE PERMITTED BILLIARD OR POOL HALL

USE IN COMMERCIAL ZONES
(Director of Community Development Carrie Tai)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council confirm by minute order the Community Development Director’s determination (DD 23-01) that the rental of four or fewer racing car simulators (amusement or entertainment machines) is similar to billiard or pool hall use, which is a permitted use in General commercial district (C-2 zone) and General and highway commercial district (C-3 zone).

Executive Summary:

The City received a request to establish a business to rent no more than four racing simulators (entertainment or amusement machines) in reserved time blocks within the C-2 zone. Upon review, the Community Development Director determined that the proposed use is similar to a billiard or pool hall use (Attachment 1). Pursuant to HBMC Section 17.26.040, the Community Development Director’s determination shall not be final until confirmed by the City Council as a consent calendar item on the City Council agenda.

Background:

The Community Development Department, Planning Division received an application for use determination on August 29, 2023. The request (Attachment 2) is to conduct a commercial business where the proposed use does not clearly align with current uses permitted in the City as outlined in the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Section 17.26.030. The applicant submitted a description of the business and floor plan where four race car simulators would be rented out in reserved time blocks. The use would include the rental and sale of professional helmets, gloves, and Virtual Reality (VR) headsets. Customers would be able to book appointment blocks anywhere between 15 minutes to several hours.

Pursuant to HBMC Section 17.26.040, when a use is not specifically listed in the Zoning Ordinance, it shall be understood that the use is prohibited unless it is determined by the Community Development City of Hermosa Beach Page 1 of 4 Printed on 12/7/2023

Staff Report
REPORT 23-0692
shall be understood that the use is prohibited unless it is determined by the Community Development Director that the use is similar to, and not more objectionable than, other uses listed. The Community Development Director’s determination shall not be final until confirmed by the City Council as a consent calendar item on the Council agenda following the Director’s determination.

Analysis:

Staff compared the use description with the zoning definitions and commercial uses listed in HBMC Section 17.26.030. Staff determined that the rental of four or fewer racing simulators is similar to rental of arcade games. HBMC Section 17.04.050 defines “game arcade (or amusement arcade”) as, “means any place having five or more coin-operated, slug-operated or any type of amusement or entertainment machine, equipment or facilities for which payment is necessary for the operation and which is the primary purpose of the business. These include pinball, video games, slot-car racing or other types of game entertainment, but do not include merchandise vending machines.” Similarly, the definition of “assembly hall” use includes five or more machines. The zoning ordinance does not address where four or fewer amusement or entertainment devices is permitted as a primary use.

Pursuant to HBMC Section 17.04.040, “billiard or pool halls” is defined as, “establishments that provide billiard tables for customers’ use.” The proposed use has a similar intensity to those operating characteristics of pool halls because both uses provide and operate large, fixed equipment within an establishment and involve the rental of amusement or entertainment machines in blocks of time. Also, the billiard or pool hall use does not have the five or more equipment standard like the assembly hall use.

C-1, C-2 and C-3 Zones, Land Use Regulations
USES C-1 C-2 C-3
Billiard or pool halls - P P
P = Permitted
The Community Development Director determined that all findings outlined in HBMC Section

17.26.040 could affirmatively be made, finding that four or fewer amusement or entertainment devices is similar to and not more objectionable than a billiard or pool hall. As such, proposed uses consisting of four or more amusement or entertainment machines would be allowed by right within the C-2 and C-3 Zone. The Director’s Determination (Attachment 1) makes the required findings.

Staff recommends City Council review the request and confirm the Community Development Director’s determination.

If confirmed, the determination would be applied to other uses of the same kind in the future in the applicable zones. As part of the City’s Comprehensive Zoning Code Update effort, the commercial use table would be updated to include more modern uses such as racing simulators or City of Hermosa Beach Page 2 of 4 Printed on 12/7/2023

use table would be updated to include more modern uses such as racing simulators or amusement/entertainment machine use and identify where four or fewer amusement or entertainment machines would be permitted. Staff anticipates presenting an updated commercial use table to the City Council in the coming year.

General Plan Consistency:

The proposed use would be consistent with the corresponding the PLAN Hermosa land use designations which include Community Commercial (CC), Gateway Commercial (GC) and Recreational Commercial (RC) Land Use Designations.

This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated for consistency with the City’s General Plan. The proposed use is consistent with the following Goals and Policies of PLAN Hermosa Land Use and Design Element:

Land Use + Design
Goal 1: Create a sustainable urban form and land use patterns that support a robust economy and high quality of life for residents.

Policies
· 1.4 Diverse commercial areas. Promote the development of diversified and unique commercial districts with locally owned businesses and job- or revenue-generating uses. · 1.5 Balance resident and visitor needs. Ensure land uses and businesses provide for the needs of residents as well as visitors.

Determining a new commercial use to be similar to existing permitted uses will assist in diversifying the catalog of commercial uses and thereby retaining existing commercial areas within the City. The City’s Zoning Ordinance does not currently list racing simulator businesses. The Similar Use Determination will promote the development of diverse, locally-owned businesses that cater to both residents and visitors alike.

Goal 2: Neighborhoods provide for diverse needs of residents of all ages and abilities and are organized to support healthy and active lifestyles.

Policy
· 2.1 Complete neighborhoods. Neighborhoods are complete and well-structured by encouraging, where appropriate, the following:
§ Contain a heigh level of connectivity for pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicles. § Have homes with entries and windows facing the street.

City of Hermosa Beach Page 3 of 4 Printed on 12/7/2023

Staff Report
REPORT 23-0692
§ Provide a diversity of architectural styles.
§ Have goods and services within a short walking distance. § Address the needs of multiple ages and physical abilities.

The proposed use provides a recreational activity for various ages and physical abilities and will serve the nearby residential and commercial uses.

Goal 13: Land uses patterns that improve the health of residents.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 9, 2023
TO: Carrie Tai, Community Development Director
FROM: Maricela Guillean, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: DD23-01 - Director Determination for Similar Commercial Use of four (4) or fewer Race Car Simulator Rentals (Amusement or
Entertainment Machines).

BACKGROUND
A Use Determination application was submitted to the Planning Division on August 29, 2023. The request (Attachment 1) is to conduct a commercial business involving the rental of four (4) race car simulators as a primary use within the C-2 Downtown Commercial Zone. The proposed use is not specifically listed as a use within in the Commercial Zones of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Section 17.26.030.

PROPOSED USE
The applicant submitted a description of the business and floor plan where four (4) F1 race car simulators will be rented out in reserved time blocks. The use will include the rental and sale of professional helmets, gloves, and Virtual Reality (VR) headsets.

Customers will be able to book appointment blocks anywhere between 15 minutes to several hours.

USE DETERMINATION
Pursuant to HBMC Section 17.26.040, when a use is not specifically listed in this chapter, it shall be understood that the use is prohibited unless it is determined by the Community Development Director that the use is similar to and not more objectionable than other uses listed. The Director’s determination shall not be final until confirmed by the City Council as a consent calendar item on the council agenda following the Director’s determination.

Staff evaluated several enumerated commercial uses in HBMC Section 17.26.030 and determined the business description provided by the applicant does not squarely meet the definition and criteria for any commercial uses permitted within the City. Pursuant to HMBC Section 17.26.040, a use shall be prohibited unless a Determination of Similar Use procedure is confirmed by the City Council. The applicant submitted an application for a Determination of Similar Use to initiate the process.

Staff identified and evaluated three existing commercial uses within the Zoning Code to the applicant’s proposal including: 1) “assembly halls”, 2) “billiard or pool halls”, and “sporting/recreational equipment sales, service and rental” uses. “Assembly Halls” are defined to mean any building, or portion of a building, used for public or private gathering including game arcades with five (5) or more machines. An 99 2
“Assembly Hall” use requires a Conditional Use Permit due to the intensity of the use and potential for issues of compatibility.

USES C-1 C-2 C-3

Billiard or pool halls - P P

Additionally, “game arcade (or amusement arcade”), as defined in HBMC Section

17.04.050, “means any place have five (5) or more coin-operated, slug-operated or any type of amusement or entertainment machine, equipment or facilities for which payment is necessary for the operation and which is the primary purpose of the business. This includes pinball, video games, slot-car racing or other type of game entertainment, but do not include merchandise vending machines.” The proposed use consists of rental of VR machines which is similar to amusement or entertainment machines. Although the proposed use is similar to a “game arcade” or “assembly hall”, it is of a lower intensity than an Assembly Hall use consisting of the rental of no more than four (4) amusement or entertainment machines.
“Sporting/recreational equipment sales, service and rental” is another enumerated use in the commercial land use table analyzed. The “sporting/recreational equipment sales, service and rental” use is not defined in the Zoning Ordinance. The use is broad in scope and was not found to have intensity or operating characteristics that are substantially similar to the rental of driving simulators. Additionally, it is permitted in all commercial zones; including the Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) Zone the lowest intensity commercial district. The C-1 Zone is intended to serve the daily needs of nearby residential neighborhoods providing access to daily shopping or personal needs and is distributed in small pockets within the coastal zone primarily located near The Strand, and along Hermosa Avenue and Manhattan Avenue. Due to the lower intensity of “sporting/recreational equipment sales, service and rental” use it was not found to be similar to the proposed use.

Pursuant to HBMC Section 17.04.040, “Billiard or pool halls” is defined as, “establishments that provide billiard tables for customer’s use.” The proposed use has a similar intensity to those operating characteristics of pool halls because both uses provide and operate large, fixed equipment within an establishment and involve the rental of amusement or entertainment machines in blocks of time. Also, the Billiard or pool hall use does not have five (5) or more equipment standard like the Assembly Hall use.

Based on the following findings, staff recommends the Community Development Director find the use similar to Billiard or pool hall uses. The operation of four (4) or fewer racing simulators or amusement/entertainment machines would not attract as many visitors as a larger scale arcade or assembly halls.
100
3 In order to make a determination of similarity, the Director shall make all of the following findings:

1. The proposed use shall meet the intent of, and be consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the general plan;
As proposed, the rental of four (4) or fewer racing simulators (entertainment or amusement devices) use is similar to “Billiard or pool halls use” and should be permitted by right within the C-2 and C-3 Zones. The General Plan Land Use Designations that correspond to the C-2 and C-3 Zones include Community Commercial (CC), Gateway Commercial (GC) and Recreational Commercial (RC) Land Use Designations.

The purpose of the CC land use designation is to allow locally-oriented uses including retail stores, restaurants, professional and medical offices, and personal services. The Community Commercial designation is a major generator of local economic activity with a mix of locally-owned businesses and regional or national retailers present within this designation. The purpose of the GC land use designation is to offer a greater variety of employment, retail, and economic activity to the community. The RC land use designation is to offer a wide variety of recreational and coastal related services to serve both visitors and residents.

The proposed rental of four or fewer racing simulators is not inconsistent with the general intent of the underlying General Plan Designations.

Furthermore the proposed use is consistent with the following Goals and Policies of PLAN Hermosa Land Use and Design Element:

Goal 1: Create a sustainable urban form and land use patterns that support a robust economy and high quality of life for residents.
o Policy 1.4 Diverse commercial areas. Promote the development of diversified and unique commercial districts with locally owned businesses and job- or revenue-generating uses
o Policy 1.5 Balance resident and visitor needs. Ensure land uses and businesses provide for the needs of residents as well as visitors. o Policy 1.9 Retain commercial land area. Discourage the conversion of commercial land to residence uses.

Introducing a new commercial use will assist in retaining existing commercial areas within the City. As demonstrated by the request for a Similar Use Determination, the City has not seen a racing simulator business within the City and will promote the development of unique locally owned business that caters to both residents and visitors alike.

Goal 2: Neighborhoods provide for diverse needs of residents of all ages and abilities and are organized to support healthy and active lifestyles. 101
4 o Policy 2.1 Complete neighborhoods. Neighborhoods are complete and well-structured by encouraging, where appropriate, the following:
 Contain a heigh level of connectivity for pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicles.
 Have homes with entries and windows facing the street.  Provide a diversity of architectural styles.
 Have goods and services within a short walking distance.  Address the needs of multiple ages and physical abilities.

The proposed use provides a recreational activity for various ages and physical abilities and will serve the nearby residential and commercial uses.

Goal 13: Land uses patterns that improve the health of residents. o Policy 13.2 Social and health needs. Support the continuation of existing and new uses that enhance the social and health needs of residents.

The operation of four (4) or fewer racing simulators or amusement/entertainment machines is proposed to be a new established use in the City. The introduction of a proposed new use will provide a unique activity to address the social needs of residents.

2. The proposed use shall meet the stated purpose and general intent of the zone in which the use is proposed to be located;
If the determination is made for the operation of four (4) or fewer racing simulators or amusement/entertainment machines as a similar use to the Billiard or pool hall use, the permitted zones the use would be permitted are the C-2 and C-3 zones.

HBMC Section 17.26.020.B.2 defines the purpose of the C-2 zoning designation as a zone which “provides opportunities for a limited range of office, retail, and service commercial uses specifically appropriate for the scale and character of the downtown – a resident and visitor serving pedestrian-oriented shopping/entertainment district.” The purpose of the C-3 General Commercial Zone, the most intense commercial zone, is to , “provide opportunities for the full range of office, retail, and service businesses deemed suitable for the city, and appropriate for the Pacific Coast Highway and Aviation Boulevard commercial corridors, including business not appropriate for other zones because they attract heavy vehicular traffic or have specific adverse impacts.

The operation of four (4) or fewer racing simulators or amusement/entertainment machines would serve both residents and visitors alike and is consistent with the intent of the C-2 and C-3 Commercial zones.

3. The proposed use shall not adversely impact the public health, safety and general welfare of the city’s residents; and
102
5 No adverse public health or safety concerns have been identified with the racing simulator business use as equipment will be fixed to single player stations and will consist of no more than four (4) amusement or entertainment stations for rent.

4. The proposed use shall share characteristics common with, and not be of greater intensity, density or generate more environmental impact, than those uses listed in the zone in which it is to be located.

As proposed, the rental of four (4) or fewer racing simulators (entertainment or amusement machines) use is similar to “billiard or pool halls use” which is permitted by right within the C-2 and C-3 Zones. The proposed use involves the rental of amusement or entertainment machines in blocks of time within the facility making it similar in intensity and operating characteristics of pool halls. Pool halls typically require patrons to rent a pool table for an allotted amount of time to accommodate various patrons during business hours. The commercial use will blend and balance the other permitted uses within the C-2 and C-3 zones and will not generate more environmental impacts.

Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed project qualifies for a Class 1 categorical exemption, Existing Facilities as defined in section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines, as it involves no expansion of an existing use and would not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

All findings can be made to determine the rental of four or fewer racing simulators (entertainment or amusement devices) use is similar to “Billiard or pool halls use” and should be permitted by right within the C-2 and C-3 Zones.

NEXT STEPS
Pursuant to HBMC Section 17.26.040, if the Director of Community Development determines the proposed use is similar to “billiard or pool halls” use, the determination shall be confirmed by the City Council as a consent calendar item on the Council agenda following the Director’s determination.

3 Company Description

1. Company mission statement
DRIVE South Bay (subsidiary of “Formula Racing Partners”) is a professional grade Formula One style racing simulator center, the first of its kind in the South Bay area, aiming to increase accessibility to the professional world of motorsports.

2. Company philosophy and vision
The core values of DRIVE South Bay: innovation, community, fun. In addition to providing a fun, safe environment to use professional grade simulators.

3. Target market
Target customers are between 13-60 years of age who have a desire to learn and craft their skills on a professional racing simulator.

4. Industry
The current Formula One racing industry has been gaining popularity at a staggering rate since the debut of the hit Netflix show “Drive to Survive.” The sport has taken such a drastic turn, that in the last 10 years, Formula One has added Grand Prix racing circuits to Austin Texas, Miami Florida, and starting this year, Las Vegas Nevada. These championship races in addition to the race in Mexico City Mexico and Montreal Canada, account for 5 of the 23 during the racing season. What was once a heavily nonAmerican sport has shifted towards being a North American favorite. The sport itself has tall financial barriers to entry; creating a professional, fun, local racing simulator center could be the beginning of a broader exposure and eventually reduce the financial barriers over time. The only other known competitor that featured similar racing simulators was also a full service bar and restaurant, and is no longer in operation due to the pandemic and high operating costs. Our professional grade simulators offering 2-axis motion, tactile feedback, full wrap around peripheral displays, and optional VR headsets in a welcoming inclusive environment, are what will set DRIVE apart from the previous competition.

5. Management Team
The current ownership will be myself Chris Frantz, and Jason Okajima. We are both industry enthusiasts and currently in the business of engineering sales where professionalism, technical skills and customer service are what set us apart from the rest of the rest of the competition.

6. Legal structure
a. DRIVE South Bay (a subsidiary of Formula Racing Partners) is an LLC. Ownership will be between one and two owners, no outside lenders or investors.

Products & Services

1. Company services:

The business will be a general commercial location for the rental of audio visual equipment that provides the simulation of Formula One racing. The business is specific to Formula One racing only and will appeal to a local customer base interesting in honing skills using the audio visual simulations.

Staff Report
REPORT 23-0725
AM-TEC’s proposal (Attachment 2) included detailed video management integration, low equipment and labor costs, and in-house equipment use for the traffic control plan. The transition of software programs recommended in AM-TEC’s proposal would allow the older software system in the Police Department to maintain a one-year retention period. A one-time fee for software purchase and license registration for each camera is transferable. During the interview, AM-TEC emphasized its experience with other cities and how that experience would help meet the needs of the City of Hermosa Beach. The reference checks for AM-TEC completed by the staff review panel resulted in positive reviews. AM-TEC demonstrated extensive experience with its understanding of the project during the interview and went beyond what was required from the proposal.

The proposed not-to-exceed limit of the agreement is $53,382 and staff requests a contingency up to the amount of the awarded grant funds to secure additional hardware as needed during installation.

The estimated timeframe to complete the security camera project is two months and is within the SHSP grant performance period.

ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement is for CONSULTANT’s professional services.

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

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

AUDIT OF RECORDS. CONSULTANT agrees that CITY, or designee, has the right to review, obtain, and copy all records pertaining to the performance of this Agreement. CONSULTANT agrees to provide CITY, or designee, with any relevant information requested and will permit CITY, or designee, access to its premises, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours for the purpose of interviewing employees and inspecting and copying such books, records, accounts, and other material that may be relevant to a matter under investigation for the purpose of determining compliance with this Agreement. CONSULTANT further agrees to maintain such records for a period of three (3) years following final payment under this Agreement.

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

CORRECTIVE MEASURES. CONSULTANT will promptly implement any corrective measures required by CITY regarding the requirements and obligations of this Agreement. CONSULTANT will be given a reasonable amount of time as determined by the City to implement said corrective measures. Failure of CONSULTANT to implement required corrective measures shall result in immediate termination of this Agreement.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.

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

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

2. General Liability Coverage. The CONSULTANT shall maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than two million dollars 135
RFP 23-007 City of Hermosa Beach

Page 25 of 36 ends

($2,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. If a commercial general liability insurance form or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to the work to be performed under this Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit.

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

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

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

CONSULTANT also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.

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

2. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers.

Any insurance maintained by the CITY, including any self-insured retention the CITY may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with this policy.

3. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company.
136
RFP 23-007 City of Hermosa Beach

Page 26 of 36 ends

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

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

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

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

D. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the CITY. At the CITY’s option, the CONSULTANT shall demonstrate financial capability for payment of such deductibles or self-insured retentions.

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

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

G. The commercial general and automobile liability policies required by this Agreement shall allow City, as additional insured, to satisfy the self-insured retention (“SIR”) and/or deductible of the policy in lieu of the Consultant (as the named insured) should Consultant fail to pay the SIR or deductible requirements.

The amount of the SIR or deductible shall be subject to the approval of the City Attorney and the Finance Director. Consultant understands and agrees that satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement. Failure by Consultant as primary insured to pay its SIR or deductible constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Should City pay the SIR or deductible on Consultant’s behalf upon the Consultant’s failure or refusal to do so in order to secure defense and indemnification as an additional insured under the policy, City may include such amounts as damages in any action against Consultant for breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages incurred by City due to the breach.

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

FINAL PAYMENT ACCEPTANCE CONSTITUTES RELEASE. The acceptance by the CONSULTANT of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of the CITY from all claims and liabilities for compensation to the CONSULTANT for anything done, furnished or relating to the CONSULTANT’S work or 137
RFP 23-007 City of Hermosa Beach

Page 27 of 36 ends

services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of the CITY’S check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by the CITY shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of the CONSULTANT, its employees, sub-consultants and agents for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by the CITY for any defect or error in the work prepared by the Consultant, its employees, sub-consultants and agents.

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

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

CITY shall pay CONTRACTOR all uncontested amounts set forth in CONTRACTOR’s invoice within 30 days after it is received.

and facilities necessary or proper to perform and complete the work and provide the professional services required of CONTRACTOR by this Agreement.

PAYMENTS. For CITY to pay CONTRACTOR as specified by this Agreement, CONTRACTOR must submit an invoice to CITY which lists the reimbursable costs, the specific tasks performed, and, for work that includes deliverables, the percentage of the task completed during the billing period in accordance with the schedule of compensation incorporated in “Exhibit A.” TIME OF PERFORMANCE. The services of the CONTRACTOR are to commence upon receipt of a notice to proceed from the CITY and shall continue until all authorized work is completed to the CITY’s reasonable satisfaction, in accordance with the schedule incorporated in “Exhibit A,” unless extended in writing by the CITY.

FAMILIARITY WITH WORK. By executing this Agreement, CONTRACTOR represents that CONTRACTOR has (a) thoroughly investigated and considered the scope of services to be performed; (b) carefully considered how the services should be performed; and (c) understands the facilities, difficulties, and restrictions attending performance of the services under this Agreement.

KEY PERSONNEL. CONTRACTOR’s key person assigned to perform work under this Agreement is Jeff Torok. CONTRACTOR shall not assign another person to be in charge of the work contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written authorization of the City.

TERM OF AGREEMENT. The term of this Agreement shall commence upon execution by both parties and shall expire on December 12, 2024, unless earlier termination occurs under Section 11 of this Agreement, or this Agreement is extended in writing in advance by both parties.

CHANGES. CITY may order changes in the services within the general scope of this Agreement, consisting of additions, deletions, or other revisions, and the contract sum and the contract time will be adjusted accordingly. All such changes must be authorized in writing, executed by CONTRACTOR and CITY. The cost or credit to CITY resulting from changes in the services will be determined in accordance with written agreement between the parties.

TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. CONTRACTOR will provide CITY with a Taxpayer Identification Number.

PERMITS AND LICENSES. CONTRACTOR will obtain and maintain during the term of this Agreement all necessary permits, licenses, and certificates that may be required in connection with the performance of services under this Agreement.

TERMINATION. Except as otherwise provided, CITY may terminate this Agreement at any time with or without cause. Notice of termination shall be in writing.

In the event of such termination, the CONTRACTOR shall cease services as of the date of termination, and all finished or unfinished documents, data, drawings, maps, and other materials prepared by CONTRACTOR shall, at CITY’s option, become CITY’s property, and CONTRACTOR will receive just and equitable compensation for any work satisfactorily completed up to the effective date of notice of termination.

Should the Agreement be terminated pursuant to this Section, CITY may procure on its own terms services similar to those terminated.
214
INDEMNIFICATION. CONTRACTOR shall indemnify, defend with counsel approved by CITY, and hold harmless CITY, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers from and against all liability, loss, damage, expense, and cost (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with CONTRACTOR's performance of work hereunder or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this AGREEMENT, regardless of CITY’S passive negligence, but excepting such loss or damage which is caused by the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of the CITY. Should CITY in its sole discretion find CONTRACTOR’S legal counsel unacceptable, then CONTRACTOR shall reimburse the CITY its costs of defense, including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation.

The CONTRACTOR shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against the CITY (and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers) covered by this indemnity obligation. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this Agreement.

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

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

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

AUDIT OF RECORDS. CONTRACTOR agrees that CITY, or designee, has the right to review, obtain, and copy all records pertaining to the performance of this Agreement. CONTRACTOR agrees to provide CITY, or designee, with any relevant information requested and will permit CITY, or designee, access to its premises, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours for the purpose of interviewing employees and inspecting and copying such books, records, accounts, and other material that may be relevant to a matter under investigation for the purpose of determining compliance with this Agreement. CONTRACTOR further agrees to maintain such records for a period of three (3) years following final payment under this Agreement.

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

CORRECTIVE MEASURES. CONTRACTOR will promptly implement any corrective measures required by CITY regarding the requirements and obligations of this Agreement. CONTRACTOR will be given a reasonable amount of time as determined by the City to implement said 215
corrective measures. Failure of CONTRACTOR to implement required corrective measures shall result in immediate termination of this Agreement.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.

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

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

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

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

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

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

1. “The CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the CONTRACTOR, including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations.”
216

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

E. The CONTRACTOR shall provide certificates of insurance with original endorsements to the CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein. Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with the CITY on or before commencement of performance of this Agreement.

Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with the CITY at all times during the term of this Agreement.

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

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

USE OF OTHER CONTRACTORS. CONTRACTOR must obtain CITY’s prior written approval to use any sub-contractors while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must include approval of the proposed Contractor and the terms of compensation. 217
FINAL PAYMENT ACCEPTANCE CONSTITUTES RELEASE. The acceptance by the CONTRACTOR of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of the CITY from all claims and liabilities for compensation to the CONTRACTOR for anything done, furnished or relating to the CONTRACTOR’S work or services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of the CITY’S check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by the CITY shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of the CONTRACTOR, its employees, sub-contractors and agents for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by the CITY for any defect or error in the work prepared by the Contractor, its employees, sub-Contractors and agents.

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

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