(Attachment 1).
Renaming of the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail
The joint Subcommittee recommends renaming the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail in honor of Geoff Hirsch and Casey Rohrer, recognizing their significant contributions to accessibility advocacy.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 7
Geoff Hirsch was a dedicated advocate for accessibility following a stroke that left him wheelchair-bound. He was a member of the City’s Access Hermosa Working Group, which was created to advise and support the City in improving accessibility throughout the City. Through Access Hermosa, Geoff actively pushed for accessibility improvements, particularly along the Greenbelt. Casey Rohrer, born with cerebral palsy, was wheelchair-bound. He was a strong supporter of the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail project and worked alongside his mother, Beth Rohrer as part of the Access Hermosa Working Group.
Based on the analysis and recommendations provided by the joint subcommittee, the Commission recommends City Council adopt a resolution renaming the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail in honor of Hirsch and Rohrer (Attachment 2).
Additionally, the Commission recommends City Council approve installing a bench on the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail to acknowledge the naming. If approved, the bench would be placed on the east side of the trail on an existing concrete pad, allowing ADA seating next to the bench.
A plaque would be placed on the bench with the proposed name of the facility, “The Geoff Hirsch and Casey Rohrer Greenbelt Accessible Trail,” and the following text providing information on the name of the facility.
The Geoff Hirsch and Casey Rohrer Greenbelt Accessible Trail runs from Pier Avenue to 8th Street. It is named in honor of Hermosa Beach residents, Geoff Hirsch and Casey Rohrer, in recognition of their advocacy for equal access and opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
Should Council approve the Commission’s recommendation, the City would coordinate a celebration for the renaming of the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail in June 2025, which is Hirsch’s birthday month.
Renaming of the South Park Accessible Playground
The joint Subcommittee also recommends renaming of the South Park accessible playground in honor of Casey Rohrer, recognizing his role in advocating for a universally accessible playground. Rohrer and his mother were instrumental in advocating for the 2016 renovation of South Park, which introduced accessible play features.
Rohrer wished for a park that was accessible to all children. He was not only an inspiration for the project, but was also involved in designing the universally accessible playground.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 7
Based on the analysis and recommendations provided by the joint Subcommittee, the Commission recommends City Council adopt a resolution renaming the South Park accessible playground in honor of Rohrer (Attachment 3).
Additionally, the Commission recommends City Council approve installing a commemorative plaque on an existing bench overlooking the accessible playground to acknowledge the naming. Installation would occur following the completion of CIP 603 South Park Slope, Irrigation, and Landscape Improvements in July 2025, which includes a concrete pad under the existing bench, which would allow ADA seating next to the bench.
The plaque would include the proposed name of the facility, “The Casey Rohrer Accessible Playground,” and the following text providing information on the name of the facility.
The Casey Rohrer Accessible Playground is named in honor of Hermosa Beach resident, Casey Rohrer, who wished for a park all children could enjoy and served as an inspiration for the 2016 renovation that provided the accessible playground.
Following this text would be a quote by Rohrer given at the 2016 South Park Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to celebrate the park’s renovation: “This playground is great because all kids can play together now.”
Should Council approve the Commission’s recommendation, the City would coordinate a celebration for the renaming of the South Park accessible playground in August 2025, following the anticipated completion date of CIP 603 South Park Slope, Irrigation, and Landscape Improvements.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 13, 2025
TO: Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission (Commission) and Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Commissioners Ellman and Horowitz, Councilmember Detoy and Mayor Pro Team Saemann
SUBJECT: Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail and South Park Accessible Playground Renaming Subcommittee
The joint Commission and City Council sub-committee met on November 6, 2024 to consider renaming of the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail in honor of accessibility advocates. At its January 14, 2025 meeting, Council approved expanding the subcommittee’s scope to consider renaming the accessible playground at South Park in honor of Casey Rohrer. The subcommittee met again on February 5, 2025 to discuss the renaming of both facilities. In accordance with the Municipal Naming, Monument, and Sponsorship and Policy Guide, the sub-committee provides the following detailed analysis and recommendations regarding the renaming of each facility.
Proposed Honorees for the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail
Geoff Hirsch served the Hermosa Beach community in many ways. He was a member of Leadership Hermosa Beach, the Pacific Coast Highway and Aviation Improvement Committee, and the South Bay Bicycle Coalition. He served as a coach for Hermosa Beach Little League and as a Parks, Recreation, and Community Resources Advisory Commissioner. As a result of a stroke, Geoff began using a wheelchair and devoted his time advocating for the beach cities to become more accessible for all. Geoff served as a leading voice and member of the City’s Access Hermosa Working Group, which was created to advise and support the City in improving ADA accessibility throughout the City.
Improving accessibility to the Greenbelt was one of the group’s top goals and was one of the top projects Geoff advocated for.
Casey Rohrer was born with cerebral palsy and used a wheelchair. Cerebral Palsy also impacted Casey’s voice. When Casey was in second grade, he received a machine that enabled him to talk. Casey used his voice to serve as an activist for people with disabilities and to bring awareness of their experiences and the importance of equal access for all through speeches locally and across the country. In addition, Casey strongly supported his mother Beth’s work on the Access Hermosa Working Group and the group’s advocacy to improve accessibility to the Greenbelt.
Proposed Renaming of the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail
The Greenbelt Pedestrian Tail is located from Pier Avenue to 8th Street and provides an Americans with Disability Act (ADA) accessible trail using decomposed granite (DG) material.
The subcommittee recommends renaming the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail the Geoff Hirsch and Casey Rohr Greenbelt Accessible Trail.
The City would install a bench along the accessible trail with a plaque on the bench to acknowledge the naming that would read: “The Geoff Hirsch and Casey Rohrer Greenbelt Accessible Trail runs from Pier Avenue to 8th Street. It is named in honor of Hermosa Beach residents Geoff Hirsch and Casey Rohrer in recognition of their advocacy for equal access and opportunities for individuals with disabilities.” The location of the bench is indicated in the picture below.
Proposed Honoree for the South Park Accessible Playground Casey Rohrer wished for a park that was accessible to all children. Casey’s mother, Beth served alongside a group of volunteers advocating for the renovation of South Park. Casey
was involved in designing a universally accessible playground that would ultimately be part of the renovation completed in 2017. During the South Park Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to celebrate the park’s renovation, Casey shared “(..) this playground is great because all kids can play together now.”
Proposed Renaming of the South Park Accessible Playground The City would install a plaque on an existing bench overlooking the accessible playground that would read, “The Casey Rohrer Accessible Playground is named in honor of Hermosa Beach resident Casey Rohrer who wished for a park that was accessible to all children and served as an inspiration for the 2016 renovation that provided the accessible playground.” Following the description would be a quote by Casey provided at the South Park Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to celebrate the park’s renovation, “This playground is great because all kids can play together now.”
The bench is shown in the picture below and sits east of the accessible playground.
Estimated Costs
2 x Plaque = $700 ($350 per plaque)
1 x Bench = $1,800
Shipping = $500
Tax = $250
Labor for crew to install bench and plaques: $1,600
Concrete pad on Greenbelt (built) = $1,320
Concrete pad at South Park (to be built) = $1,680
Total Cost = $7,850

3 NAMING OF PUBLIC FACILITIES + OUTDOOR SPACE
Purpose
To establish formal policies as a guide to the City Council in considering appropriate names for city-owned land, buildings, and facilities (City Asset); whether, and under what circumstances, such land, building, and facilities should be named or renamed in honor of an individual; and the duration of Naming rights of City-owned land, buildings, and facilities.
This policy is in place to ensure the following:
• The Naming of public facilities and outdoor space enhances a sense of community within the city.
• Parks and recreational areas are easily identified and located. • Names given are consistent with the values and characteristics of the City of Hermosa Beach.
• Assure the quality of the title/name, so that it will serve the purpose of the city in a permanent manner.
• Encourage public participation and input in order to fully represent the best interest of the area affected; and
• Encourage and recognize the dedication of lands, or Donations by individuals or groups.
4 Guiding Principles
In considering proposals for the Naming or Renaming of a city-owned public facility or outdoor space, the city will consider whether the proposed name will:
• Engender a strong positive image consistent with the city’s goals and values;
• Be appropriate relative to the City Asset’s location and/or history; • Have historical, cultural, or social significance for future generations; • Commemorate places, people, or events that are of continued importance to the city, community, region, or state;
• Have symbolic value that transcends its ordinary meaning or use and enhances the character and identity of the City Asset;
• Names that have recognizable geographic, topographic, or historical significance associated with Hermosa Beach. In assessing this type of name, the City Council will take into consideration the recommendations from different bodies such as the Planning Commission or the Hermosa Beach Historical Society.
• Have broad public support; and
• Not result in the excessive commercialization of the City Asset.
Guidelines
The City Council will consider requests for the Naming of public facilities and outdoor space whether submitted by City Council members, city staff, city agencies, Civic Organizations, or by members of the community.
City-owned land, buildings and facilities may be named in honor of persons who have served the nation, the State of California and/or the City of Hermosa Beach in an exceptional and distinguished manner; and where such action is warranted by a contribution or service which is deemed to be of major significance. In assessing this honor, the City Council will take into consideration the recommendations from different bodies such as the applicable City Commission(s) or local interest groups.
City-owned land, buildings and facilities may be named after individuals or families who have donated the land or funds for a capital project, particularly if such Naming is set forth as a condition of the Donation. Additionally, the City Council may approve the Naming of city-owned land, buildings or facilities based on an organization or individual’s monetary contribution to the city for that purpose. The funds from that contribution may be used for any purpose deemed appropriate by the City Council unless there is a specified use as a condition of
5 the contribution. The duration of the name is on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the City Council unless otherwise set forth as a condition of the contribution approved by the Council.
The names of city-owned land, buildings and facilities shall not normally be named in honor of individuals when they have previously been named for another individual. However, if the Council deems it appropriate, they may vary from the guideline on a case-by-case basis.
When appropriate, parks, trails and facilities can be named after predominant geographical or physical features of the land. These may include natural features or man-made features. Different sections of public facilities and outdoor space may carry names that differ from that of the overall park or facility. This may include the Naming of individual items in a park or facility such as a meeting room.
However, the guidelines outlined in this guide shall still apply in the selection and adoption of the name.
Review Procedure
Consideration of requests for the Naming of public facilities and outdoor space will include the following:
1. Submittal Request. Letter requests for Naming of City-owned land, buildings and facilities shall be filed with the City Clerk. Letters shall include clear justification for the request including qualifying information, as outlined below.
2. Sub-committee Review. Upon review by the City Manager and if the request warrants further investigation, it will be presented to the City Council to consider designating a sub-committee consisting of two (2) City Council Members to provide a detailed analysis and recommendation. The Council may also direct any applicable Commission to also create a subcommittee to further assist in the review.
3. Sub-committee(s) Recommendation. The sub-committee(s) will present their recommendations to the applicable body followed by the City Council for a formal review. If the Sub-committee recommends approval, it will also provide a written statement to be preserved as to who the individual is/was and why the naming is taking place.
6 4. City Council Review. The City Council will make its determination as to the Naming or Renaming of City-owned land, buildings, and facilities at regularly scheduled meetings. The decision of the City Council will be final. a. In the case the request is denied by the Council, no further action is taken.
b. If the request is approved, staff will begin implementing the Naming of the public facility or outdoor space through execution of a formal agreement.
Qualifying Names and Criteria
The review and selection of names will follow an extensive and exhaustive review of several factors. The following will be considered as part of this review:
• Geographical location of the facility or outdoor space including descriptive names.
• An outstanding feature of the area (i.e. hill, vegetation). • Commonly recognized subjects of historical significance such as an event, person, group, culture, or place.
• A person or group who significantly contributed to the acquisition or development of the park/facility.
• An individual who provided an exceptional service in the interest of the park system as a whole or for the community as a whole. • A person whose contribution or significant Gift is of a most extraordinary nature.
• Parks and facilities that are donated to the city can be named by deed restriction by the Donor.
Additionally, Naming may be considered based on the provision of significant Funding that underwrites the cost of renovation or construction of city property.
Financial underwriting shall be broadly defined as substantial monetary contributions that enable the City to acquire, maintain, and/or improve City Assets. This may include monetary Gifts and/or grants that leverage federal, state and local Funding for such projects or complete Donation of land.
Renaming
The intent of Naming a public facility or outdoor space is intended for permanent recognition. Therefore, the Renaming of parks and facilities is strongly discouraged. Requests for the Renaming or removal of the name of an already named public facility or outdoor space will be subject to the most careful examination so as not to diminish the original justification for the name or discount the value of the prior contributors. Notwithstanding the preceding language, and
7 unless restricted by an agreement with a Donor, City Council has complete discretion to remove a name or rename a property
MONUMENTS, STATUES + PUBLIC ART
Purpose
To establish formal policies as a guide to the City
Council in considering the placement of a
Monument, Statue or public art on city-owned
land including city facilities and outdoor spaces;
whether and under what circumstances a
desired location would be best suited for the
placement of a Statue, Monument and/or
public art in honor of an individual or family; and
the duration of this placement of a Statue,
Monument and/or public art.
Memorial park benches are not included as part of this policy. These are administered by the Public Works Department and should be contacted directly for further details. The Community Development Department oversees placement of Monuments, Statues and public art on private property.
Guiding Principles
In considering proposals for the placement of a Monument, Statue or public art on city-owned land including City facilities and outdoor spaces, the city will evaluate whether the Monument or public art piece:
• Engenders a strong positive image consistent with the city’s goals and values;
8 • Have historical, cultural, or social significance for future generations; • Commemorate places, people, or events that are of continued importance to the city, community, region, state, or nation; • Have symbolic value that transcends its ordinary meaning or use and enhances the character and identity of the City Asset;
• The location of the Monument, Statue or public art piece is significant in some measurable way to the individual or image depicted; • The individual or image depicted in the art piece have recognizable geographic, topographic, or historical significance associated with Hermosa Beach. In assessing this type of name, the City Council will take into consideration the recommendations from different bodies such as the Planning Commission or the Hermosa Beach Historical Society. • Have broad public support; and
• Not result in the excessive commercialization of the City Asset.
Guidelines
The City Council will consider placement of Statues, Monuments or public art whether submitted by City Council members, city staff, city agencies, Civic Organizations, or by members of the community.
Placement of a Statue, Monument or public art should have recognizable geographic, topographic, or historical significance associated with Hermosa Beach. In assessing this placement location, the City Council will take into consideration the recommendations from different bodies such as the applicable City Commission(s) or local interest groups. Placement may be in honor of persons who have served the nation, the State of California and/or the City of Hermosa Beach in an exceptional and distinguished manner; and where such action is warranted by a contribution or service which is deemed to be of major significance.
Placement of a Statue, Monument or public art in honor of a deceased person shall generally not take place until after a minimum of one-year waiting period unless the City Council determines that there are overriding considerations deviating from this policy guideline. This policy guideline is not intended in any way to reflect on the merits of any deceased individual who may have been a prominent civic leader. However, it is felt appropriate to establish some type of waiting period to ensure that an individual’s accomplishments or contributions will stand the test of time; and that a decision shall not be made on an emotional basis immediately following a person’s death.
9 A Statue and/or Monument may be named after individuals or families who have donated the land or funds for the capital project, particularly if such Naming is set forth as a condition of the Donation. The City Council may approve the placement of a Statue and/or Monument based on an organization or individual’s monetary contribution to the city for that purpose. The funds from that contribution may be used for any purpose deemed appropriate by the City Council unless there is a specified use as a condition of the contribution. The duration of the name is on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the City Council unless otherwise set forth as a condition of the contribution approved by the Council.
Review Procedure
Consideration of requests for the placement of a Monument, Statue or public art on city-owned land including city facilities and outdoor spaces will include the following:
1. Submittal of Request. Letter requests for Naming of City-owned land, buildings and facilities shall be filed with the City Clerk. Letters shall include clear justification for the request including qualifying information, as outlined below.
2. Sub-committee Review. Upon review by the City Manager and if the request warrants further investigation, it will be presented to the City Council to consider designating a sub-committee consisting of two (2) City Council Members to provide a detailed analysis and recommendation. The Council may also direct any applicable Commission to also create a subcommittee to further assist in the review.
3. Sub-committee(s) Recommendation. The sub-committee(s) will present their recommendations to the applicable body followed by the City Council for a formal review. If the Sub-committee recommends approval, it will also provide a written statement to be preserved as to who the individual is/was and why the naming is taking place.
4. City Council Review. The City Council will make its determination as to the placement of a Statue, Monument or public art on city-owned land including city facilities and outdoor spaces at regularly scheduled meetings. The decision of the City Council will be final.
10 a. In the case the request is denied by the Council, no further action is taken.
b. If the request is approved, staff will begin implementing the Naming of the public facility or outdoor space through execution of a formal agreement.
Signage
Donor or Naming acknowledgement is permitted but must be approved by the City Council prior to installation. This approval will include review of the size, subject matter, overall sign design, materials, location and placement. Signage shall comply with the Sign Ordinance (HBMC 17.50) and adhere to the City’s official logo and branding guidelines. Additionally, the following criteria must also be followed:
• Any physical form of recognition shall not interfere with visitor use or routine operations.
• The form of any on-site recognition shall:
o Be of appropriate size and color within the design scheme of the facility, Monument, Statue or public art piece;
o Not dominate the sign in terms of scale or color; and o Not detract from surroundings or any interpretive messages.
The use of corporate logos and insignias on recognition signs will be considered by the City Council for formal approval prior to installation.

CONSIDERATION OF THE REQUEST TO
RENAME THE GREENBELT PEDESTRIAN
TRAIL IN HONOR OF GEOFF HIRSCH
AND CASEY ROHRER AND THE SOUTH
PARK ACCESSIBLE PLAYGROUND IN
HONOR OF CASEY ROHRER
BACKGROUND
August 13, 2024 City Council formed the Greenbelt
Pedestrian and appointed Mayor Pro Tem Seamann
and Councilmember Detoy to the subcommittee.
September 3, 2024 Commission selected
Commissioners Ellman and Horowitz to serve on the
subcommittee to work collectively with the City
Council subcommittee.
DISCUSSION
The joint subcommittee met on November 6, 2024 and
February 5, 2025 and recommends the approval of the
renaming of the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail in honor of late Hermosa Beach residents Geoff Hirsch and Casey Rohrer
and the South Park accessible playground in honor of
Casey Rohrer.
DISCUSSION
Geoff Hirsch and Casey Rohrer Greenbelt Accessible Trail The Geoff Hirsch and
Casey Rohrer Greenbelt
Accessible Trail runs from
Pier Avenue to 8th Street. It
is named in honor of
Hermosa Beach residents
Geoff Hirsch and Casey
Rohrer in recognition of
their advocacy for equal
access and opportunities
for individuals with
disabilities.
DISCUSSION
Casey Rohrer Accessible Playground
The Casey Rohrer Accessible
Playground is named in honor of
Hermosa Beach resident Casey
Rohrer who wished for a park that
was accessible to all children and
served as an inspiration for the
2016 renovation that provided the
accessible playground.
“This playground is great because
all kids can play together now.” –
Casey Rohrer, South Park Ribbon
Cutting Ceremony, 2016
DISCUSSION
Should Council approve Commission’s recommendation, the City would coordinate a celebration for the renaming of the Greenbelt Accessible Trail in June 2025, which is Hirsch’s birthday month and a celebration for the renaming of the South Park accessible playground in August 2025, following the anticipated completion date of CIP 603 South Park
Slope, Irrigation, and Landscape Improvements.
Re: Municipal Matters Item-17.a (HB Council Meeting, Tuesday, March 25, 2025) Councilmembers:
NOTE: The title of this item appears incorrect. The Parks & Recreation Commission specially stated that this was to be only the naming of the “accessibility” decomposedgranite section, not the entire Greenbelt Pedestrian trail, and only as between Pier Avenue and 8th Street. Why the agenda has not better, and more correctly titled the item is unfortunate and misleading to the public.
Now, in my view, the naming of city locations and things after individuals or events should be accomplished only under very special circumstances and then not just railroaded through.
This naming certainly does not qualify, notwithstanding the incredibly controversial older individual’s name proposed, nor the younger person’s name to be tainted by association with respect to the accessibility trail portion of this item. The town should not become more of a cemetery/memorial park with such inane tributes.
Hundreds have contributed as much or more without fanfare over the decades, without significant and in most cases any acknowledgement what-so-ever.
Even the idea of having someone pay for the right to have theirs or other’s name placed on something is kind of obscene.
If people desires to give money or other to receive a tax right-off, why do they then disgrace their gift by demanding their name to be on, i.e., a hospital, park, or whatever they may make a gift for?
Hermosa Beach Parks & Recreation Commissioner E. Thomas Moroney said it best when prior to the commission voting their recommendation.
I urge everyone to listen to Commissioner Moroney’s brief statement using the following direct YouTube link, which will begin at his comments regarding the naming of the decomposed-granite (DG) paved section of Greenbelt. Tap or click the following link;
https://youtu.be/00E2Rybeu3g?t=6161
Also, the eComments submitted by residents Rick Koenig and Caroline Petty below as posted prior to this comment I believe state the situation very well.
Council, you would best not just rubber-stamp this item. The public was not meaningfully involved in this entire naming process from what I can see. The public very much fought for, voted for, and paid for the Greenbelt. It’s not to be frittered away as such, so willy-nilly cavalierly.
Most Respectfully,
Howard Lee - Resident, who was there.

Staff Report No. 25-AS-029
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council MIDYEAR BUDGET REVIEW FISCAL YEAR 2024-25
(Administrative Services Director Brandon Walker)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Approve the revisions to estimated revenue, appropriations, budget transfers, and fund balances as shown herein and in the attached Projected Change in Financial Position (Attachment 1) and the Midyear Budget Amendment (Attachment 2);
2. Transfer $553,832 of unspent funds from the Midyear Budget Review 2024–25 from the unassigned fund balance category to the assigned fund balance category; and
3. Receive and file the City Council Travel Summary (Attachment 3).
Executive Summary:
The following presents the Fiscal Year 2024–25 Midyear budget review. With an estimated General Fund revenue decrease of $119,379, an overall reduction of expenditures of $604,796, and adjustments to the General Fund’s fund balance reserves, $553,832 is available in the General Fund. Staff recommends assigning the balance of $553,832 remaining in the General Fund after midyear to the Fiscal Year 2025–26 Budget. Recommendations regarding the use of those funds will be made at that time.
Background:
The City has conducted an annual Midyear Budget Review since fiscal year 1981–82. It is customary to conduct a thorough analysis of all estimated revenues and appropriations at the end of the first six months of the fiscal year. All revisions would be recorded as of January 31, 2025 so that midyear revisions for revenue and appropriations would reflect in the 2024–25 Budget worksheets used for preparation of the 2025–26 Budget.
City Council requested a City Council Conference/Travel Summary in 2014–15 and it continues to be provided as an information item (Attachment 3).
At its June 11, 2024 meeting, Council approved and adopted the Fiscal Year 2024–25 budget. Staff previously recommended Council approve transfers of 2023–24 unspent funds in the General Fund at year end to the Insurance Fund, if needed, to restore the
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 10
fund balance to $3.0 million and the transfer of any remaining funds to the Capital Improvement Fund for future Capital Improvement Project (CIP) needs. Staff performed a transfer of $425,571 to the Insurance Fund and $2,703,151 to the Capital Improvement Fund at 2023–24 year end which is reflected in the beginning fund balances.

It is requested that the City’s General Fund estimated revenue budget be decreased by $119,379. The following is a brief description of the changes recommended:
Property Taxes
The estimate for overall property tax revenue increased by 1.4 percent. The midyear estimates for the secured portion of the property tax or “real property”, which is land and personal property located upon that property of the same owner is 0.45 percent over the original estimate. The new estimate of Current Year Secured is $20,403,391.
Sales Taxes
The recommended $173,000 decrease in Sales Taxes reflects the most recent estimates received from HdL Companies, the City’s sales tax consultant. Although Restaurants and Hotels are the largest industry group for sales tax in Hermosa Beach, decreases are primarily due to lower projected State and County Pool and Auto Sales tax estimates.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 10
Utility User Tax (UUT)
UUT is recommended to decrease 13.0 percent from the original budget. This is a more conservative approach based on projected decreases to Natural Gas, Wired Telecom, and Cable TV UUT revenue as residents “cut the cord” in favor of more cost-effective wireless telecom services and continue switching from Cable TV to streaming for their video services.
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)
TOT receipts for the first half (through November) are consistent with the original budget, therefore no change is recommended.
Other Taxes
The small decrease of $9,982 is projected based on historical analysis of the Prop 172 Sales and Use Tax.
Licenses & Permits
This category increased by 37.0 percent, primarily due to an increase in building permits.
The revised is based on actual building permit revenues from the first half of the fiscal year.
Fines and Forfeitures
The recommended $114,015 decrease is due to a decrease in parking citations issued in the first half of the year. The decrease is due to previous staffing vacancies and City parking meters now accepting credit cards and options to “pay by phone”.
Use of Money & Property
This net decrease of $95,621 is due to a decrease in interest rates offset by a projected $15,000 increase in planned Community Resources Special Events.
Intergovernmental/State
This category increased by 27.7 percent due to estimated reimbursement claims for Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) highway maintenance from the State.
Current Service Charges
The major decrease for this category is plan-check fees based on activity from the first half of the year. There are many accounts in this category, some increases and some decreases. Police Towing fees are expected to increase based on activity from the first half of the year.
Other Revenue
This category increased by $50,000 due to a one-time reimbursement by Blue Shield who was the City’s prior employee health insurance provider.

Staff recommends decreasing the City’s General Fund expenditures by $604,796. The reduction is related to recognition of salary and employee benefit savings associated with position vacancies and from switching to a new health insurance provider on January 1, 2025.
Legislative
Slight decrease due to health enrollment changes for Calendar Year 2025.
Management Support
Slight increase of approximately $24,800 to cover the annual leave cash outs due to the departures of the prior Human Resources Manager and Administrative Services Director that occurred earlier in the fiscal year.
Management Support—Prospective Expenditures
Staff recommends replenishing the prospective expenditures for $160,000 to cover unanticipated expenses for the remainder of the fiscal year. The prospective expenditures were originally budgeted at $239,982 but were primarily used this fiscal year to cover the Council approved CSG Consultant and Civic Solutions contract amendments.
Public Safety—Police
This budget reflects a decrease of $72,000 to the overtime budget. Since the department is fully staffed, overtime is projected to decrease. The City will also use currently budgeted grant funds for overtime costs in the Grants Fund.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 10
Staff also recommends an adjustment for a net decrease of approximately $205,000 to the Police salaries and benefits. The net decrease is to reflect current staffing after the original adopted budgeted department management restructuring and also reduction in benefit costs due to switching to the new health insurance provider offset by an increase in leave cash outs.
The decreases are offset by an increase in contract services. Staff recommends appropriating $33,642 to fund the $63,642 increase in the City share of the regional radio network costs with the Interoperability Network of the South Bay Joint Powers Authority (INSB). The $30,000 remainder of the INSB costs would be funded by the 715 Equipment Replacement Fund. There is also an increase of $3,500 to the safety gear account to purchase rain jackets for police officers.
For the Community Services division, staff recommends a decrease of approximately $156,000 in salaries and benefits. The decrease is to recognize $89,000 of salary savings due to vacancies and $67,000 for two additional part-time Community Services Officer positions budgeted but not filled until February 2025.
Public Works
Staff recommends a decrease of approximately $100,000. Salaries and benefits are recommended to decrease approximately $140,000 to recognize the vacancies of the Management Analyst, the City Engineer, and part-time interns. This decrease is offset by an approximate $40,000 increase to the Downtown Business Area Enhancement division 3301 as the original estimated costs were lower than actual per the new cleaning contract with Athens Services.
Community Development
This budget decrease of approximately $290,000 reflects salary savings due to the vacancies in the Community Development Director and Assistant Planner positions. The budget decrease is net of staff requesting $7,727 to contract services for the Housing Element update.
Parks/Recreation (Community Resources)
The slight decrease of $4,796 is to recognize a reduction in health enrollment changes and salary savings due to both the Special Events and Filming Coordinator and the Lead Special Events coordinator budgeted but staffed part way through the fiscal year. This is offset by an increase to the retirement budget to more accurately reflect departmental retirement costs.
The budget decrease is net of staff requesting an additional $2,400 to the equipment budget for two laptops for the Senior Recreation Supervisor and Special Events Filming team.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 6 of 10
Public, Educational, and Governmental Access (PEG) Funds Staff requests an additional $15,000 from PEG funds to replace the air conditioning in the Council Chambers A/V room. This is the Council Chambers component of the combined $60,000 Air Conditioning replacement at both the Council Chambers and Police Department.
Transfers In/Transfers Out
Staff recommends no changes to the budgeted transfers in and transfers out. Although the projected ending fund balance for the Insurance Fund is approximately $3.5 million with the budgeted transfer, staff recommends no changes due to the uncertainty of insurance claims for the remainder of the fiscal year.
Available Funds
After the recommended budget revisions, $553,832 is available in the General Fund. Staff recommends assigning the balance of $553,832 for the upcoming Fiscal Year 2025–26 budget process. Recommendations would be made at that time regarding the use of those funds.
Other Funds:
Adjustments to both estimated revenues and appropriations are proposed for the City’s other funds (excluding the Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) fund, which will be addressed in the following section). Revenue adjustments to other funds are due to a decrease in interest revenue associated with a decrease in interest rates. Appropriation adjustments are due to updated salary and benefit cost allocations at other funds where budgeted.
The major adjustments are explained below.
115 State Gas Tax Fund
Staff is reclassing $175,000 of CIP 105 Annual Street Improvements from the Tyco Fund to the Gas Tax Fund.
116 Transportation Development Act (TDA) 3 SB 821 Fund
Staff is creating a new fund to record the revenue and expenditures associated with TDA Article 3. TDA Article 3, or SB 821, is a Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities program funded through a ¼ cent of the general sales tax collected statewide. The City receives the revenue from LA Metro transportation agency as a pass through.
In prior years, this was previously recorded within the State Gas Tax Fund. Staff is reclassing previously budgeted CIP 193 Pedestrian Crossing Safety Improvements of $10,000 in the State Gas Tax fund and $8,000 in the Measure R fund to the new TDA Article 3 Fund for a total of $18,000.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 7 of 10
122 Tyco Fund
Staff is releasing approximately $282,000 of CIP 692 14th Street Beach Restroom Project back to the Tyco Fund as there is sufficient budget in the Tyco Fund and other funds to complete the project. The remainder adjustment is primarily due to the reclass of CIP 105 Annual Street Improvement budget to the Gas Tax Fund.
125 Parks/Rec Facility Tax Fund
Staff is recommending releasing approximately $43,000 of CIP 538 Citywide Park Master Plan project budget back to the fund since the project was completed. 150 Grants Fund
The revenue estimate and offsetting appropriations are updated to increase $655,480.
The increases are comprised of a $529,000 RPOSD (Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District) grant awarded to the City to fund and reimburse for CIP 502 Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail project.
Staff is also formally appropriating the Opioid Settlement Distribution Funds to the Beach Cities Health District (BCHD) for approximately $145,000 to provide substance abuse and opioid remediation services. This was previously approved by Council on November 23, 2021 and the agreement with BCHD was recently finalized in December 2024. Staff is also decreasing the ongoing Mobile Mental Heath Grant budget by $18,749 as prior year actual grant expenditures were more than budgeted.
170 Asset Forfeiture
Staff is planning to spend approximately $60,000 from this fund to fund a cold case for $8,500 and to purchase Police Department firearms for approximately $51,000. 190 RTI Undersea Cable Fund & 191 Tidelands Undersea Cable Fund The installation of the 4th easement cable has been delayed to the next 2026 fiscal year.
Staff is eliminating the estimated easement cable revenue initially budgeted for $253,000 and $184,000 in the RTI Undersea and RTI Tideland funds respectively. Staff is recommending moving $95,000 of the CIP 699 Parking Structure Lot C Improvement project to the 191 RTI Tidelands Undersea Cable fund.
705 Insurance Fund
Staff recommends reducing the salary and benefit budget by $33,460 due to the Human Resources Manager being vacant for seven months.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 8 of 10
715 Equipment Replacement Fund
Staff is requesting an additional $92,111 of appropriations. This is a combination of $45,000 to replace the Police Department air conditioning unit, $3,100 to equip all patrol vehicles with first aid kits, and $30,000 of the increase in the regional radio network INSB costs. Staff would use previously assigned reserve of “Police Department Radio Equipment / South Bay Interoperability Project” to fund the INSB costs as the funds were previously set aside for a physical location move that has since been cancelled.
Staff is also requesting an additional $30,000 to purchase two replacement Community Services vehicles due to the increase in vehicle prices. The replacement vehicles were previously approved in the adopted FY 2024–25 budget.
These increases are offset by approximately $16,000 in salary and benefit savings.
Capital Improvement Projects (CIP)
The originally adopted CIP budget for FY 2024–25 was $28,444,695, consisting of 38 projects that are either directly charged to its funding source or to the Capital Improvement Project Fund 301.
The total net change to the Capital Improvement Fund is a decrease of $65,665. This is due to the actual costs of completed CIP projects being lower than budgeted and City staff finding alternative funding sources such as grants to fund CIP projects. The release of project budgets frees up funding for necessary City projects as shown below.
In this midyear budget review, the budgets for the following CIP projects are recommended to be released back to the CIP fund.
502 Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail
Staff recommends releasing $529,000 back to the CIP fund, initially budgeted for $737,040. City staff found an alternative funding source, the RPOSD (Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District) grant to fund and reimburse the City for the Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail project.
538 Citywide Park Master Plan
Staff recommends releasing $11,750 back to the CIP fund as the project was completed. 620 City Wide Roof Repair
Staff recommends releasing $190,000 back to the CIP fund, initially budgeted for $217,496. Approximately $27,000 is only needed to complete the Citywide roof repair project which means $190,000 can be released back to the CIP fund for future projects.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 9 of 10
In this midyear budget review, appropriations are recommended from the CIP fund for the following projects.
630 Center Gas Line
Staff recommends appropriating $350,000 to replace leaking Community Center natural gas lines. These lines are to restore natural gas lines used for heating and other applications.
633 Base 3 Electrical Repairs
Staff recommends appropriating $300,000 to provide electrical upgrades and repairs to the City Base 3 building for reopening due to the facility fire that occurred last October 2024.
696 Police Station Improvements
Staff recommends appropriating $18,000 as additional funds are needed to purchase and install security cameras and other storage equipment.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council REPORT ON THE CITY’S REGULATION OF SHORT-TERM VACATION RENTALS CEQA: This report is not a “project” under CEQA. In the alternative, this report falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3).
(City Attorney Patrick Donegan)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council receive a report on the City’s short-term vacation rental ordinance and provide direction, if so desired.
Executive Summary:
As requested by the City Council at its February 25, 2025 meeting, staff presents this report regarding the City’s current regulations on short-term vacation rentals (STVRs).
Additional information on options to possibly allow short-term rental use for owner occupied residences is also provided and a discussion on appeals of recent administrative citations issued under the City STVR’s rules will be presented.
Background:
At its February 25, 2025 meeting, Mayor Francois requested, and Councilmember Keegan supported, a future agenda item to discuss the City’s STVR regulations and related information regarding possible amendments to allow STVR usage in certain circumstances and an update on recent appeals of administrative citations issued under the City’s STVR rules. At its March 11, 2025 meeting, Council continued the item to the March 25, 2025 City Council meeting.

Meeting Date Description
February 25, 2025 Under tentative future agenda items, Mayor Francois requested, and Councilmember Keegan supported, a future agenda item regarding STVRs.
March 11, 2025 Item was continued to the March 25, 2025 City Council meeting.

Discussion:
Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (“HBMC”) section 17.04.040 defines short- term vacation rental to mean:
the rental of a residential dwelling, a dwelling unit or a room in a dwelling for compensation by way of a rental agreement, lease, license or any other means, whether oral or written to a person or group of persons for temporary overnight accommodations for a period of less than thirty (30) consecutive days. Short-term vacation rentals are also known as "short-term vacation rental" and "vacation rentals."
HBMC section 17.42.180 contains the substantive regulations regarding STVR use in the City. HBMC section 17.42.180 prohibits STVR use in the City except in nonconforming residential units in the following zones in the City: C-2; C-3; SPA 7, SPA 8, and SPA 11.
STVR use is prohibited in all areas of the City, including all residential zones, except for certain existing nonconforming residential dwellings in certain commercial zones in the City. Subsection (A) of section 17.42.180 requires the application and issuance of a permit prior to any STVR use with certain operational and inspection requirements. There are approximately 145 dwelling units in the aforementioned commercial zones that could be eligible for STVR use provided a permit is applied for and issued. There are 10 active business licenses for approximately 20 STVRs in the City.
The advertisement of STVRs in violation of the above restrictions is also prohibited.
Some jurisdictions (San Francisco, West Hollywood, etc.), are more permissive in allowing STVRs in all or more parts of its respective jurisdictions, including residential zones, by those offering rooms or portions of their homes/properties for STVR use provided it is the “primary residence” of the natural person offering the STVR use. If an individual resident demonstrates the property at issue is their “primary residence” then they are permitted to use that property for a STVR use provided a permit is obtained and the property is operated consistent with the applicable standards. “Primary residence” means any residential unit that the owner or leaseholder resides in for at least two hundred seventy days per year and someone can only have a single primary residence.
San Francisco requires someone to reside in the unit for at least 60 days prior to any STVR use.
Any change to the City’s STVR rules (which are located in the City’s Zoning Ordinance) would require consideration and recommendation by the Planning Commission prior to any formal City Council action.
Environmental Review:
This discussion is not a “project” subject to CEQA” because it has no potential to result in either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 3
(State CEQA Guidelines, § 15378(a).) In the alternative, the discussion falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), which exempts activity from CEQA where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” 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:
1.4 Consensus oriented. Strive to utilize a consensus-oriented decision-making process.
Goal 2 The community is active and engaged in decision-making processes.
Policy:
2.6 Responsive to community needs. Continue to be responsive to community inquiries, providing public information and recording feedback from community interactions.
Land Use Element
Goal 2 Neighborhoods provide for diverse needs of residents of all ages and abilities, and are organized to support healthy and active lifestyles.
Policy:
2.6 Neighborhood preservation. Preserve and enhance the quality of residential neighborhoods by avoiding or abating the intrusion of disruptive, nonconforming buildings and uses
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

Outlook
Hermosa Beach City Council Meeting: March 25, 2025. Agenda Item 17.d: REPORT ON THE CITY’S REGULATION OF SHORT-TERM VACATION RENTALS - 25-CA-007
From Jim Holtz <[email protected]>
Date Sun 3/23/2025 7:37 PM
To City Clerk <[email protected]>
You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important Dear Hermosa Beach City Council Members,
I am writing to update my previous comments submitted for the postponed STVR agenda item.
As a former short-term vacation rental (STVR) operator in Hermosa Beach prior to the 2016 ban, I have seen firsthand the value a well-regulated STVR program brings to both residents and visitors.
While the recent discussion on potentially allowing only owner-occupied/shared rentals outside the commercial zone is a step, I believe such a narrow approach risks falling short of the standards expected by the California Coastal Commission (CCC) and our own community.
I respectfully urge the Council to consider a broader, more balanced policy.
1. The Coastal Commission’s Rejection of Owner-Occupied-Only Policies • The CCC has consistently rejected policies that restrict STVRs to owner-occupied/shared models. • Malibu: The CCC staff recommended denial of Malibu’s owner-only STVR ordinance, citing unacceptable limitations on visitor access.
• Laguna Beach: The CCC intervened to block a sweeping ban, instead requiring the city to allow STVRs with reasonable regulation.
• Del Mar: Strict STVR limits were overturned by the CCC because they undermined visitor accommodations and beach access.
Implementing a similar owner-only model in Hermosa Beach invites CCC rejection, delays LCP certification, and prolongs uncertainty for residents.
2. Impact on Local Events and Tourism
• The STVR ban has contributed to the departure of long-standing community events. • Volleyball tournaments, surf camps, and youth programs once rooted in Hermosa now take place in neighboring cities that allow STVRs.
• Families seeking full-home lodging with kitchens and privacy are routinely turned away due to lack of options, now choosing Manhattan Beach instead.
3. Misconceptions About STVR Guests
• Many assume STVR guests are disruptive partiers, but in reality, they are often your own extended families and friends.
• They are parents, retirees, and visiting relatives who prefer the comfort of a home environment. • Guests value:
• Kitchens to prepare meals
• Laundry for extended stays
• Separation from bar zones for young children’s safety Responsible STVR hosts screen guests carefully and follow strict rules to avoid disturbances.
4. Limitations and Risks of Owner-Occupied Rentals
• Owner-occupied rentals may well suit some travelers, but they fall short for many. • Privacy concerns are real:
• Imagine a mother asking her young daughter to sleep in a room next to a homeowner they met hours ago.
• Many parents are understandably uncomfortable with this arrangement. • Larger families or groups cannot be accommodated in a shared space or by booking multiple hotel rooms far from one another.
• Owner-shared homes limit autonomy, space, and comfort—essential for family gatherings, reunions, and end-of-life visits.
5. Proposed Solution: Allow STVRs East of Hermosa Avenue • Allow regulated STVRs east of Hermosa Avenue under the same rules as commercial zones:
• Permitting
• Inspections
• Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)
• Density caps (e.g., X number per block)
• This respects residential neighborhoods while providing diverse lodging options. • The Strand is already home to vibrant activity and hospitality—regulated STVRs are consistent with that environment.
6. Financial Benefits of a Controlled STVR Program
• A modest STVR cap (e.g., 2% of Coastal Zone households) could generate over $1.5 million annually. • Revenue from TOT and permit fees could:
• Reopen Fire Station #2
• Enhance public safety
• Support local services and businesses
• This would be achieved without increasing property taxes or cutting services elsewhere.
7. Precedent from Imperial Beach
• Imperial Beach created a zoning map that allows STVRs on its version of The Strand (Seacoast Drive). • Their plan was a compromise—STVRs were allowed directly on the coast along Seacoast Drive, while homes further inland in the Coastal Zone, where the character is more residential, were restricted. • This compromise received CCC approval and offers a model Hermosa can follow.
8. Why Owner-Occupied STVRs Are Not Enough
• Owner-occupied/shared rentals also have value.
• They appeal to solo travelers, international students, budget tourists, artists, and others who want a
local experience without high hotel costs.
• But if this is the only legal option beyond hotels, Hermosa Beach fails to meet its obligations. • Diverse travelers need diverse lodging:
• Multi-generational families
• Reunions and milestone celebrations
• Families caring for aging relatives or small children • Out-of-town guests returning for funerals, weddings, or holidays • A hotel room cannot substitute for a full home:
• No kitchen for shared meals or less expensive meals.
• No living room for family bonding
• No layout that allows a parent to sleep under the same roof near their children • These visitors are not strangers.
• They are your families and your friends.
• They are your college roommate visiting with his kids. • They are your cousin coming to help bury a loved one. • They are your grandchildren wanting to see where their parents grew up. • The CCC’s role is not to allow minimal access for a narrow segment of travelers.
It is to guarantee diverse, affordable, and meaningful access to California’s coast—for everyone.
Hermosa Beach cannot meet that standard through hotels and home-sharing alone. • Half-measures won’t survive CCC review, and they won’t serve the public we are called to support.
Conclusion
A narrow STVR model based solely on owner-occupied/shared rentals will not provide true access to the coast, and risks CCC rejection.
I urge the Council to adopt a broader solution that welcomes families, maintains neighborhood character, and earns CCC support.
Let Hermosa Beach be a leader in coastal access—not a cautionary tale.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Jim Holtz

Staff Report No. 25-CMO-024
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
CONSIDERATION OF A POSITION ON LOS ANGELES COUNTY METROPOLITAN
TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY C LINE EXTENSION ROUTE INTO TORRANCE (Senior Management Analyst Ken Bales)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Consider whether to take a position on the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) C Line extension into Torrance; and
2. Authorize City Manager, if a position is taken, to provide letter representing the City’s position to the Metro Board.
Executive Summary:
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s Metro Vision 2028 Plan goal of providing high-quality mobility options that enable people to spend less time traveling aligns with the mobility goals established in PLAN Hermosa, the City’s general plan developed in 2017. Metro is currently conducting survey work in anticipation of the final environmental impact report (EIR) release in the second half of 2025. The two current routes for the Metro C Line extension are the Right-of-Way Option and the Hawthorne Option. On March 11, 2025, Mayor Francois, supported by Mayor Pro Tem Seamann and Councilmember Keegan, requested a future agenda item to consider the City’s position on the Metro C Line extension.
Background:
In December 2018, Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) adopted a motion setting an initial one-year pilot operating plan for the K Line (Crenshaw/LAX) new light rail link. However, the current inability to connect the C and K Lines due to the Airport Metro Connector (AMC) station construction precludes the opportunity to pilot the planned alternative for one year, evaluate the performance, and recommend any changes prior to the AMC opening.
Given the changing circumstances, the Metro Board directed its staff to conduct significant public outreach in March and April 2023 to provide robust public input in support of an updated C and K Lines operating plan recommendation. Based on public input, staff recommended the Metro Board adopt Option 2 (C-2 Alternative), creating a K Line, operating between Redondo Beach and Expo/Crenshaw, and a C Line, operating
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 4
between Norwalk and the LAX/Metro Transit Center. Option 2 (C-2 Alternative) creating a simple, easy-to-understand network, was the most supported option from community outreach, provides direct connection to LAX/Metro Transit Center from all C and K Line stations, creates north-south (K) and east-west (C) lines in line with regional travel patterns, utilizes lower resources and operating costs than the previous pilot option, and provides a north-south corridor consistent with Torrance and Hollywood future extensions.
At the Metro Board of Directors meeting on May 23, 2024, the Metro Board selected the staff recommended Hybrid Alternative as the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) for the Proposed Project in the Final EIR. Metro is currently performing survey work along the Metro right-of-way (ROW), starting at Redondo Beach (Marine) Station and continuing four miles south through Lawndale, Redondo Beach, and Torrance, ending at the Mary K. Giordano Torrance Transit Center. The survey work is expected to be completed by April of 2025 with the final EIR released to the public in the second half of 2025.
Past Board, Commission, and Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
August 8, 2023 City Council received and filed a letter in support of the Metro C and K Line operating plan.
October 10, 2023 Staff provided City Council additional information regarding the Metro C Line extension into Torrance.
March 11, 2025 Mayor Francois requested, and Councilmembers Seamann and Keegan supported, directing staff to return with an item to consider the City’s position on the Metro C Line extension into Torrance.
Discussion:
The City of Hermosa Beach regularly expresses its support or opposition regarding legislative matters that would have an impact on the City. For matters that pertain to longstanding City goals or stances previously expressed by Council, the Mayor may sign and submit a letter on the City’s behalf. The City of Hermosa Beach’s General Plan, PLAN Hermosa, outlines goals and policies aimed at reaching the community’s vision for the future of mobility in Hermosa Beach. PLAN Hermosa’s Mobility Element supports reducing transportation-related environmental impacts, the development of a multimodal transportation network that allows travelers the flexibility of choosing sustainable and lowcost transportation choices that promote and improve public health, environmental quality, and overall quality of life.
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s Metro Vision 2028 Plan includes the goal of providing high-quality mobility options that enable people to spend less time traveling. Its mobility and sustainability objectives to combat climate change and reduce Los Angeles County’s carbon footprint also align with the City’s goals. The City
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 4
recognizes the pressing need to tackle the adverse impact, in terms of congestion and environmental degradation, of car trips by single-occupancy motor vehicles. Mobility is also an imperative for transit-dependent riders.
The City believes that these medium and long-term goals are best served by a northsouth light rail line to provide one-seat service from Hollywood to Torrance. This is a heavily traveled corridor for which there are currently no viable transportation alternativeseven by motor vehicle. It has the greatest potential to reduce what currently is intolerable congestion and to help meet California’s climate goals.
Metro is currently in the process of developing the final EIR for certification in the second half of 2025. The design of the proposed route involves two different travel corridors. The Right-of-Way Option follows the existing freight rail path through Redondo Beach and Lawndale from 190th Street north to Redondo Beach Station. The Hawthorne Option follows Hawthorne Blvd north of 190th Street to Redondo Beach Station.
Staff recommends City Council consider whether it would like to take a position on the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) C Line extension into Torrance.
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

Mobility Element
Goal 6. A regionally integrated transportation system that provides local and regional connections to regional transit services, bicycle facilities, and other intermodal facilities.
Policies:
6.1 Regional Network. Work with government agencies and private sector companies to develop a comprehensive, regionally integrated transportation network that connects the community to surrounding cities.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 4
6.2 Regional travel patterns. Consider regional travel patterns when collaborating on regional transit and transportation projects to ensure investments facilitate greater mobility and access for residents, businesses, and visitors to and from Hermosa Beach.

Consideration of licensing agreement/fees for use of City logo Initiated by: Council Direction Jun. 9, 2020
City Attorney The City will develop a
licensing agreement for
commercial uses of the City
logo as part of a comprehensive
Administrative Memorandum
(AM) on City Branding and
Logo Use by City Staff. City
staff will begin drafting the
AM after finalizing the City’s
style guide and filing its “Intent
to Use” trademark application
for the City logo with the
USPTO. As part of developing
a Licensing Agreement for the
Commercial Use of the City
Logo, staff will establish a
process for reviewing and
6 handling these requests. This
process will likely include the
negotiation of royalties and as
well as the preparation of a
staff report to obtain Council
approval to enter into the
agreement. Only after the City
receives the issuance of a
Notice of Allowance from the
USPTO can it begin approving
applications for commercial
uses of the logo.

Consideration of a Revocation Policy for Parking Permits Related to ShortTerm Rental Violations Initiated by: Council Direction April 9, 2024
Community
Development Director
City Attorney has opined that
the connection between
residential parking permits and
short-term vacation rentals is
strained, enforcement is tough
due to the way certain
7 properties are held via
corporate entities, and if a
property is used as a STVR and
gets caught, banning them from
getting a residential parking
permit in the future would
seemingly vitiate future legal
use as a long term rental.
