Proclamation
Black History Month 2025
Whereas, in 1976, Black History Month was formally adopted to honor and affirm the importance of Black History throughout our American experience, and is full of individuals who took a stance against prejudice, advanced the cause of civil rights, strengthened families, communities, and our nation; and
Whereas, national Black History Month serves as both a celebration and a powerful reminder that Black history is American history, Black culture is American culture, and Black stories are essential to the ongoing story of America — our faults, our struggles, our progress, and our aspirations; and
Whereas, shining a light on Black history today is as important to understanding ourselves and growing stronger as a Nation as it has ever been. That is why it is essential that we take time to celebrate the immeasurable contributions of Black Americans, honor the legacies and achievements of generations past, and confront those injustices that still fester today; Now, Therefore, I, Dean Francois, Mayor of the City of Hermosa Beach, on behalf of the entire City Council, do hereby recognize February as Black History Month. Let us all recommit ourselves to continue the fight for justice, equality and a more diverse, supportive, inclusive, and protective union.

Dated: February 25, 2025

APPROVAL OF THE FIFTH AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT WITH WILLDAN

ENGINEERING FOR STAFF AUGMENTATION SERVICES FOR COMMUNITY

DEVELOPMENT
CEQA: Determine the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act. (Building and Code Enforcement Official Guillermo Hobelman) Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Approve the proposed fifth amendment to an agreement with Willdan Engineering for plan review and staff augmentation services to increase the not-to-exceed amount by $100,000, resulting in a total not-to-exceed amount of $495,000 and a term ending June 30, 2025 (Attachment 1); and

2. Authorize the Mayor to execute and the City Clerk to attest the attached fifth amendment subject to approval by the City Attorney.

Executive Summary:

The Community Development Department uses contract building plan review specialists for most plan submittals and has utilized this type of third-party service for several decades. The department currently has two specialists on contract and would like to ensure the ability to maintain timely building plan review of projects. The proposed fifth amendment to an agreement with Willdan Engineering would increase the not-to-exceed compensation by $100,000 resulting in a total amended not-to-exceed limit of $495,000 for the remainder of the contract term ending June 30, 2025.

Background:

For several decades, the City has contracted with third-party firms for building plan review services for compliance with the California Building Standards Code. Like many smaller jurisdictions, the City’s Community Development Department staff does not include building plan review engineers, fire life safety experts, and other building plan review specialists that are essential to conduct the breadth of building plan review.

The Community Development Department currently has a building plan review and related services agreement with two firms, Hayer Consultants and Willdan Engineering.

At its October 27, 2020 meeting, City Council approved an agreement with Hayer Consultants to provide building plan review and related services for the Community

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 5
Development Department with an expiration date of June 30, 2025. The current fiscal year 2024–2025 contract services budget for building plan review services is $200,000.

In early 2022, the Community Development Department experienced vacancies of Building and Safety staff and needed additional technically proficient staff to review building plans. The City entered into an agreement on July 20, 2022 with Willdan Engineering in an amount not to exceed $30,000 and an expiration date of June 30, 2025 to provide on-call staff augmentation services for the Community Development Department (Attachment 2). This professional services agreement also allowed the Community Development Department to supplement the available service providers for building plan check services. These additional services helped improve turnaround times.

At its August 9, 2022 meeting, City Council approved the first amendment to increase the not-to-exceed compensation by $45,000 resulting in a total amended contract term of three years and total not-to-exceed amount of $75,000 (Attachment 3). The proposed first amendment added additional funds to the existing agreement to fill the Department’s staffing needs as recruitments were underway.

At its November 29, 2022 meeting, City Council approved the second amendment to increase the not-to-exceed compensation by $100,000 resulting in a total amended contract term of three years and total not-to-exceed amount of $175,000 (Attachment 4).

The second amendment added an approved hourly rate for the position of an Interim Community Development Director to lead the department as the recruitment for a permanent hire was underway.

At its January 24, 2024 meeting, City Council approved the third amendment to increase the not-to-exceed compensation by $120,000 resulting in a total amended contract term of three years and total not-to-exceed amount of $295,000 (Attachment 5). Because the department was fully staffed by then, the purpose of this amendment was to allow continuation of plan review assistance services only.

At its September 24, 2024 meeting, City Council approved the fourth amendment to increase the not-to-exceed compensation by $100,000 resulting in a total amended contract term of three years and total not-to-exceed amount of $395,000 (Attachment 6).

Because the Building and Safety Division was fully staffed by then, the purpose of this amendment was to allow continuation of plan review assistance services only. At that time, staff anticipated the funds would allow Willdan to assist with additional plan review requests to maintain turnaround times through the end of the contract term on June 30, 2025.

September 24, 2024 City Council approves fourth amendment for an agreement with Willdan Engineering for on call staff augmentation.

Discussion:

To successfully serve residents, businesses, and the development community, the City must ensure that sufficient building plan review services are in place to provide building plan review services within a timely manner. Customarily, many jurisdictions target a maximum 30-day timeframe to provide an initial review of projects by Planning and Building Safety staff. To meet these needs, the Community Development Department recognizes the need to continue to have multiple building plan review service providers available. The availability of multiple building plan review service providers will ensure the City is in line with current best practices for many public agencies that utilize multiple building plan review service providers.

In the last two quarters of 2024, the Community Development Department experienced an increase in the volume of plan reviews along with several larger commercial tenant improvement projects. The increased volume and complex plan reviews were assigned to Willdan to ensure efficient turnaround. While plan review expenses are funded by application fees paid by applicants, the increase in expenses resulted in accelerated depletion of the contract amount as compared to prior activity levels. Staff anticipates the service demand for building plan review will remain, and the remaining contract amount from the current service agreement with Willdan Engineering will be exhausted by March 2025.

Willdan Engineering is a well-regarded firm that assists many public agencies in Southern California. The Community Development Department began utilizing Willdan Engineering building plan review services in July of 2022 to supplement the available number of building plan review service providers. Willdan Engineering has demonstrated that they have the technical expertise, available staffing, and competitive pricing to continue to assist the City with building plan review services.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 5
Staff requests the proposed fifth amendment to an agreement with Willdan Engineering to increase the not-to-exceed compensation by $100,000 resulting in a total amended not-to-exceed amount of $495,000. At current building plan review volume levels, the requested contract augmentation would allow the department to utilize Willdan Engineering’s building plan review services for the remaining term of the contract ending June 30, 2025.

The current Professional Service Agreements for building plan review services will be refreshed through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process that is currently underway and due to be completed by June 2025. Staff anticipates securing a minimum of three firms to assist with plan review requests.

Environmental Review:

Section 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. excludes from CEQA review those activities that are not projects within the meaning of Section 15378. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 (b)/5), the proposed action is not subject to CEQA because it involves administrative activities of government that will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment. Therefore. because the proposed action is the adoption of a contract amendment for plan review and staff augmentation services, it is not a project as defined in Section 133781. Therefore, the project is accordingly exempt from CEQA review.

General Plan Consistency:

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

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

Policy:
 1.2: Strategic planning. Regularly discuss and set priorities at the City Council and management level to prioritize work programs and staffing needs.

Fiscal Impact:

If approved, the proposed fifth amendment to this agreement would increase the not-toexceed limit for Willdan Engineering by $100,000 for a revised total of $495,000 for the remainder of the previously approved contract term ending June 30, 2025.

The City recovers costs through building plan review fees, Additional expenditures can be absorbed within existing appropriation.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY FIRE AND AMBULANCE MONTHLY REPORT FOR DECEMBER 2024
CEQA: Determine that this report is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) or, in the alternative that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(Emergency Management Coordinator Maurice Wright)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council receive and file the December 2024 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 December 2024.

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 December 2024.

The December 2024 monthly report provides an overview of services provided by LACoFD and McCormick Ambulance (Attachment—December 2024 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 is also 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 December 2024 call transfer report provided by LACoFD indicates that there were no calls with a transfer time longer than the NFPA standard. Staff is working with LACoFD to incorporate the South Bay Regional Public Communications Authority (RCC) call

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 4
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 EMTs 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 December 2024, McCormick Ambulance responded to 77 calls for services within the City of Hermosa Beach. The December 2024 report indicated that one call 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 one delayed Code 3 call, the average response time was eleven (11) minutes, forty-eight (48) second.

There was one delayed Code 2 response in December 2024. 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 one delayed Code 2 call, the average response time was sixteen (16) minutes, twenty (20) seconds.

Staff reviewed the December 2024 McCormick Ambulance monthly report. The following outlines the reasons for the delayed responses:
 Crew Error: (1) The crew initially responded to the wrong location; and  Distance: (1) The responding crew encountered heavy traffic along the route.

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 75 calls in December 2024, 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.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 4
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.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 1 of 14
Meeting Date: February 25, 2025
Staff Report No. 25-CDD-025
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY PROGRESS REPORT
(Contract Planner Kaneca Pompey and Planning Manager Alexis Oropeza Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Receive a staff presentation; and

2. Receive and file Economic Development Strategy Progress Report #5.

Executive Summary:

The Economic Development Strategy was approved in 2022, with one of the action items being progress reports presented to the City Council biannually. This is the fifth progress report on Economic Development Strategy. The last update was presented to City Council at its July 9, 2024 meeting.

Background:

The Economic Development Strategy (Attachment 1) is the result of two years of collective efforts by the Economic Development Committee and the Stakeholders Advisory Working Group to identify Economic Development objectives and actions. For two years, the Economic Development Committee met monthly, and the 20-person Stakeholders Advisory Working Group met bimonthly, to explore and discuss Hermosa Beach business-related topics. An Economic and Market Study was also prepared to inform development of the Economic Development Strategy. At its July 12, 2022 meeting, City Council adopted the Economic Development Strategy.

The resulting Economic Development Strategy includes 30 strategic actions. These include proactive steps to enhance Hermosa Beach through beautification, strengthen the local economy, and provide an environment for the City’s business partners to succeed as they serve the community. The City Council approval included 10 priorities for implementation in the first year ending June 30, 2023.

The Economic Development Strategy is a long-term plan, with strategic actions divided into short-term (1st year), mid-term (2–3 years) or long-term (3+ years) implementation.

The actions are divided into five categories: Citywide Beautification; Downtown; Municipal Code Amendments; Business Outreach; and City Economic Development

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 14
work program. The Economic Development Strategy is the work plan for implementation, beginning with the identified action priorities.

The Economic Development Strategy identified a multi-disciplinary complement of City Departments (City Manager’s Office, Community Development, Public Works, Community Resources, Police Department, and Human Resources), the Chamber of Commerce, and professional subject matter experts. Implementation work was anticipated to be completed by staff, the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce, and occasionally with contracted subject matter expert assistance.

The Economic Development Strategy also indicates that the prioritization and scope of the Strategic Actions do not consider staff capacity or competing workload demands.

Staff ability to implement the strategy items is determined by available capacity. Staff capacity for the development of the Economic Development Strategy was, in part, made possible by the extended allowable hours of the Interim Senior Planner during the COVID-19 pandemic response. Once the COVID-19 emergency ended, the allowable hours returned to only accommodate daily workload such as long-range planning projects, customer service, and a limited business liaison role.

The Economic Development Strategy includes an action item to report to the City Council twice annually to monitor progress, prioritize actions, and consider new opportunities. The following biannual report ensures City Council and the community are updated on Economic Development Strategy implementation and priorities each year. At its July 9, 2024 meeting, City Council received and filed Progress Report #4.

Past Board, Commission, and Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
March 4, 2020 A joint meeting of the City Council and Planning Commission was held to discuss a vision for the Downtown District, among other topics. At that meeting, it was
suggested that a subcommittee be formed, comprised of

Discussion:

Staff evaluated all strategic action items of the Economic Development Strategy Report, as well as ongoing initiatives not identified in the Economic Development Strategy initially adopted in 2022. Staff observed numerous initiatives that further the City’s efforts in supporting the business community in improving the environment in which to do business.

The fifth progress report outlined below, incorporates all action items from the past two years and presents the entire Economic Development Strategy in a comprehensive way.

This allows the community, City Council, and staff to focus on this effort in totality. The action items are presented in the following table in numerical order as identified in the Economic Development Strategy. The letter symbol (S, M, L) indicates whether the action item was to be initiated in the short-term (Year 1), mid-term (Year 2–3), or long-term (Year 3+). The table identifies prior actions and provides current updates. The table also identifies initiatives that do not currently have staff and funding resources.  Note as a reminder, the table below sorts the items in three colors (green = first year priority; yellow = second year priority; red = future year priority). The initials of the responsible department(s) are in bold under the “Strategic Action” column General Plan Consistency:

PLAN Hermosa, the City’s General Plan, was adopted by the City Council in August 2017.

The Economic Development Strategy supports several PLAN Hermosa goals and policies listed below.

 6.1 Long-term economic development. Support the development and implementation of long-term economic development strategies that seek to establish and keep new businesses and a strong middle class in Hermosa Beach over the decades to come.
 6.2 Regional presence. Encourage economic development strategies that will make Hermosa Beach a driving force and jobs center behind the regional economy of the South Bay region.
 6.3 Diversified economy. Encourage economic development strategies that allow the City to move beyond reliance on its two main industries—accommodation and food service and retail trade—and transform itself to a mature mix of economic activity and job opportunities.
 6.4 Business support. Support the Chamber of Commerce, retailers, tourist service businesses, artists, and other agencies to develop an aggressive marketing strategy with implementation procedures.
 6.5 Creative economy. Prioritize strategies that will create an economy full of diverse talents, trades and goods for the City. For long lasting economic success, a range of services, arts, entertainment and retail should be supported on all scales of the City’s economy.
 6.6 Pop-up shops. Develop plans and programs for underutilized spaces, such as vacant buildings, utility corridors, parkways, etc., for temporary retail, restaurant, and community promoting uses.
 6.7 Retail base. Encourage economic development reflective of the character of Hermosa Beach with small and medium scale retail development within Hermosa Beach in order to create a stronger tax base and increase the City’s tax revenue.

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

Policies:
 1.1 Diverse and distributed land use patterns. Strive to maintain the fundamental pattern of existing land uses, preserving residential neighborhoods, while providing for enhancement of corridors and districts in order to improve community activity and identity.

Goal 3. A series of unique, destination-oriented districts throughout Hermosa Beach.

Policies
 3.1 Unique districts. Encourage the development of local and citywide districts and centers that address different community needs and market sectors and complement surrounding neighborhoods.
 3.3 Diverse retail and office centers. Provide incentives to transform existing single-use commercial properties that are accessible into retail destinations by adding a diversity of uses, providing new pedestrian connections to adjacent residential areas, reducing the visual prominence of parking lots, making the centers more pedestrian-friendly and enhancing the definitions and character of street frontage and associated streetscapes.
 3.4 Emerging employment sectors. Strive to create districts that support increased employment activity, particularly for growing or emerging economic sectors.
 3.5 Compact office formats. New employment uses should be designed in a compact format with minimal front setbacks from the street, typical lease spans of 40 feet or less, and where feasible, combined with other commercial uses.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA APPROVING CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES FORM 130 DESIGNATION OF SUBRECIPIENT’S AGENTS
(Emergency Management Coordinator Maurice Wright)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Adopt a resolution of the City of Hermosa Beach approving California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services Form 130 Designation of Subrecipient’s Agents (Attachment 1); and

2. Approve submittal of Cal OES Form 130 (Attachment 2), designating the City Manager, Deputy City Manager, and Administrative Services Director as the City’s authorized agents.

Executive Summary:

To remain eligible for Federal and State assistance and grant programs, the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) requires non-state agencies to submit a Form 130 every three years. The proposed resolution would authorize the submittal of a new Form 130 designating the City Manager, Deputy City Manager, and Administrative Services Director as the City’s authorized agents for the purpose of exchanging official documentation regarding funding. The requested update is necessary to reflect the change in title from Finance Director to Administrative Services Director.

Background:

At its June 13, 2023 meeting, City Council reaffirmed Resolution 18-7153, and approved submittal of a Cal OES Form 130 designating the City Manager, Deputy City Manager, and Finance Director as the City’s authorized agents. Although the City’s current Form 130 has not yet reached its three-year expiration, staff requests an update to the authorized agents to ensure continuity in emergency management and grant administration. The proposed resolution authorizes the submittal of an updated Form 130, designating the City Manager, Deputy City Manager, and Administrative Services Director as the City’s authorized agents.

June 13, 2023
(Regular Meeting)
City Council reaffirmed Resolution 18-7153 adopted on
November 27, 2018 and approved submittal of an updated
Cal OES Form 130
Discussion:

Cal OES requires non-state agencies, such as the City of Hermosa Beach, to submit an updated Form 130 every three years to remain eligible for funding. The form documents the City’s authorized agents to act on behalf of the City for purposes of receiving disaster assistance from Federal and State agencies.

Staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) approving a new California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services Form 130 (Attachment 2) designating the City Manager, Deputy City Manager, and Administrative Services Director as the City’s authorized agents. The requested update is necessary to modify the title of Finance Director to the new title of Administrative Services Director.

If approved, the form would be applicable for all disasters over the next three years.

Should the form not be submitted, the City would have limited ability to request Federal or State funding and information for disaster relief and grants for preparedness.

Environmental Review:

This Resolution is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378 (b)(5) as the Resolution is an organization or administrative activity of the City that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.

General Plan Consistency:

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

Public Safety Element
Goal 1. Injuries and loss of life are prevented, and property loss and damage are minimized.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 3
Policy:
 1.11 Secure funds. Establish centralized internal procedures to coordinate efforts for securing funds that support risk reduction measures.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. Designating authorized agents would enable the City to request public assistance from Federal and State agencies to seek recovery of costs related any disaster that impacts the City of Hermosa Beach.

Cal OES Form 130 Instructions
A Designation of Applicant’s Agent Resolution for Non-State Agencies is required of all Applicants to be eligible to receive funding. A new resolution must be submitted if a previously submitted resolution is older than three (3) years from the last date of approval, is invalid, or has not been submitted.

When completing the Cal OES Form 130, Applicants should fill in the blanks on pages 1 and 2. The blanks are to be filled in as follows:

Resolution Section:

Governing Body: This is the group responsible for appointing and approving the Authorized Agents.

Examples include: Board of Directors, City Council, Board of Supervisors, Board of Education, etc.

Name of Applicant: The public entity established under the laws of the State of California.

Examples include: School District, Office of Education, City, County or Non-profit agency that has applied for the grant, such as: City of San Diego, Sacramento County, Burbank Unified School District, Napa County Office of Education, University Southern California.

Authorized Agent: These are the individuals that are authorized by the Governing Body to engage with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services regarding grants for which they have applied.

There are two ways of completing this section:

1. Titles Only: The titles of the Authorized Agents should be entered here, not their names. This allows the document to remain valid if an Authorized Agent leaves the position and is replaced by another individual. If “Titles Only” is the chosen method, this document must be accompanied by either a cover letter naming the Authorized Agents by name and title, or the Cal OES AA Names document. The supporting document can be completed by any authorized person within the Agency (e.g., administrative assistant, the Authorized Agent, secretary to the Director). It does not require the Governing Body’s signature.

2. Names and Titles: If the Governing Body so chooses, the names and titles of the Authorized Agents would be listed. A new Cal OES Form 130 will be required if any of the Authorized Agents are replaced, leave the position listed on the document, or their title changes.

Checking Universal or Disaster-Specific Box: A Universal resolution is effective for all past disasters and for those declared up to three (3) years following the date of approval. Upon expiration it is no longer effective for new disasters, but it remains in effect for disasters declared prior to expiration.

Governing Body Representative: These are the names and titles of the approving Board Members.

Examples include: Chairman of the Board, Director, Superintendent, etc. The names and titles cannot be one of the designated Authorized Agents. A minimum of three (3) approving board members must be listed. If less than three are present, meeting minutes must be attached in order to verify a quorum was met.

Certification Section:

Name and Title: This is the individual in attendance who recorded the creation and approval of this resolution.

Staff Report No. 25-CR-016
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council

APPROVAL OF SPECIAL EVENT LONG-TERM AGREEMENT WITH FRIENDS OF

THE PARKS FOR MOVIES AT THE BEACH
CEQA: Approval of the proposed long-term agreement would be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15304. The long-term agreement permits an event which is a minor, temporary use of land in the form of a movie screening on the beach. This type of temporary event will have negligible or no permanent effect on the environment. (Community Resources Director Lisa Nichols)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Approve a long-term agreement (LTA) with Hermosa Beach Friends of the Parks (FOP) for Movies at the Beach for 2025 through 2027; and

2. Authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute and the City Clerk to attest the long-term agreement, subject to approval by the City Attorney (Attachment 3).

Executive Summary:

The Community Resources Department oversees special event requests and permitting on public property. The Special Events Policy Guide (Attachment 1) establishes the LTA Program, which allows eligible organizations to secure event dates for up to three years.

This reduces administrative burdens and provides greater event planning stability.

On May 31, 2023, City Council authorized staff to negotiate an LTA with FOP for Movies at the Beach covering 2025 through 2027. Negotiations concluded in January 2025, and staff recommends City Council approval of the proposed agreement.

Background:

The Community Resources Department oversees special events on public property in accordance with the Special Events Policy Guide (Attachment 1). The guide provides a comprehensive framework for event producers, including details on the review and approval process, applicable fees, policies, and relevant municipal codes. The LTA Program enables qualifying organizations to secure event dates for up to three years, eliminating the need for annual applications. Additionally, the LTA Program provides an opportunity for event fees to be subsidized or waived through negotiations between the City and the organization.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3
Attachment 2 provides a summary of current LTAs, including organizations, events, agreement terms, fees paid to the City, and estimated fees to be waived annually for each agreement.

Past Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
May 31, 2023 Council approved the commencement of LTA negotiations with FOP for Movies at the Beach in 2025 through 2027.

Discussion:

Friends of the Parks (FOP) is a nonprofit volunteer organization dedicated to preserving, enhancing, and promoting Hermosa Beach’s parks and recreation programs. In addition to Movies at the Beach, FOP hosts community events such as Pets in the Park, Pumpkins in the Park, and beach and park cleanups.

Movies at the Beach is a free annual film screening held south of the Pier, funded through sponsorships and donations. In September 2023, staff began LTA negotiations with FOP to align Movies at the Beach with the Hermosa Beach Concert Series, allowing both events to share infrastructure and take place on two consecutive weekends following Labor Day. Since LTA negotiations were ongoing, staff administratively approved Movies at the Beach as an event partner with the Hermosa Beach Concert Series for the 2024 season to assess the partnership’s success.

Negotiations concluded in January 2025, and staff now recommends City Council approval of the proposed LTA (Attachment 3). The agreement formalizes Movies at the Beach for 2025–2027 and outlines applicable fees (Table 1). Attachments 4–5 contain the 2025–2027 Special Events Calendars with proposed event dates.

General Plan Consistency:

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

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

Policy:

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 3
 1.6 Long-term considerations. Prioritize decisions that provide long-term community benefit and discourage decisions that provide short-term community benefit but reduce long-term opportunities.

Parks and Open Space Element
Goal 3. Community parks and facilities encourage social activity and interaction.

Policies:
 3.1 Community-friendly events. Encourage, permit, and support community groups, nonprofit, or business organized events on City property that support physical activity, beach culture, and family-friendly social interactions.  3.2 Social and cultural events. Design and program parks and open space to accommodate unique social and cultural events to foster connectedness and interaction.
 3.3 Commercial use of facilities. Regulate and enforce commercial use of City parks and open spaces to ensure activities do not impact general use and enjoyment.

Goal 8. Special events at the beach are balanced to support community recreation and economic development without restricting coastal access or impacting the community.

Policies:
 8.3 Community-focused events. Prioritize the approval of special events that enhance the sense of community, improve economic vitality, and foster a healthy environment and active.
 8.4 Family-focused events. Prioritize events that appeal to a wide segment of community members.

Fiscal Impact:

Approval of the proposed LTA would result in the collection of approximately $207 annually, plus pending parking fees. Over the three-year term, total collected fees would be approximately $621, excluding parking fees.
