Meeting Date:June 24, 2025
Staff Report No. 25-AS-048
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council

ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE AND ADOPT THE ANNUAL TAX
APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
CEQA: Determine the recommended action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.
(Administrative Services Director Brandon Walker)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council adopt a Resolution (Attachment 1) approving and adopting the annual Tax Appropriations Limit for the upcoming Fiscal Year 2025–26.

Executive Summary:

In 1979, the State of California adopted Tax Appropriation Limits on state and local governments and in 1990 updated the method of limit calculation. Each year, staff presents to City Council a resolution to approve and adopt the City’s annual Appropriations Limit as required by State law.

The budgeted FY 2025-26 revenue subject to limitations is $40,492,787. This is below the FY 2025-26 tax appropriations limit of $55,957,202.

Background:

Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution specifies that appropriations made by State and local governments may increase annually by no more than a factor comprised of the change in population combined with either the change in California per capita personal income or the change in the local assessment roll due to local non-residential construction, whichever is greater. In 1989, the base year was changed to 1986–87. The fundamental purpose of the appropriation limit is to keep real (inflation adjusted) per person government tax spending under 1986–87 levels.

The Appropriations Limit does not apply to all City revenues, or all General Fund revenues, but only to proceeds of taxes including property tax, sales tax, transient occupancy tax, and other local taxes, less the amount paid in debt service on both voter approved debt and qualified capital outlays (a fixed asset, including land, with a useful life of more than 10 years and a value that equals or exceeds $100,000). Other revenues, including fees, licenses and permits, rents and concessions, and interfund transfers are not subject to the limit.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3
The Appropriations Limit is the calculated dollar amount which restricts the ability to appropriate proceeds of taxes. In its simplest form, the Appropriations Limit for any year is the Appropriations Limit from the previous fiscal year increased for inflation and population growth. Ultimately, the Appropriations Limit in a given year depends on the Appropriations Limit for the base year, which is the first year of calculation, adjusted annually according to specified factors.

On June 5, 1990, Proposition 111 modified the calculation method, beginning with fiscal year 1990–91, to allow the City to choose the most beneficial of two adjustment factors for inflation and population as follows:

Inflation
California Per Capita Personal Income Change
or
Increase in Non-Residential Assessed Valuation Due to New Construction Population
City Population Growth
or
County Population Growth
Proposition 111 also implemented a requirement that the Appropriations Limit be reviewed annually by the City’s Independent Auditor.

Analysis:

The 2025–26 limit was calculated (Attachment 2), per the League of California Cities Uniform Guidelines, by applying the population and inflation factors to the prior year limit.

The County of Los Angeles’ population change of 0.30 percent was used as the population growth factor since it is greater than the City’s population change of -0.22 percent. The California Per Capita Personal Income Change of 6.44 percent was used as the inflation factor since the increase in Non-Residential Assessed Valuation Due to New Construction is 1.89 percent. The factor with the largest change is always chosen to give the City maximum discretion regarding appropriations.

The law requires adoption of the 2025–26 limit by resolution and a recorded vote of the Council to select annual adjustment factors. The choice is set forth in the attached resolution.

The budgeted FY 2025-26 revenue subject to limitations is $40,492,787. This is below the 2025-26 limit calculation of $55,957,202.

Page 63 of 535 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 3
The limit calculation will be reviewed by the City’s auditors during the annual financial audit. No issues were noted by the City auditors with the prior FY 2024–25 limit calculation.

General Plan Consistency:

PLAN Hermosa, the City’s long-range planning document, was adopted by the City Council in August 2017, and envisions a future where “Hermosa Beach is the small town others aspire to be; a place where our beach culture, strong sense of community, and commitment to sustainability intersect.” One of the guiding principles to achieve the vision is to make decisions and take actions that help contribute to the City’s economic and fiscal stability.

This report and associated recommendations 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:
 Open meetings. Maintain the community’s trust by holding meetings in which decisions are being made, that are open and available for all community members to attend, participate, or view remotely.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

Attachments:

1. Resolution Adopting FY 2025–26 Appropriations Limit

2. FY 2025–26 Calculation of Appropriations Limit

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council ADOPT A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE CITY’S INVESTMENT POLICY (Administrative Services Director Brandon Walker)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution amending the City’s Investment Policy (Attachment 1).

Executive Summary:

The Investment Policy for Hermosa Beach requires updating to comply with Government Code section 53646, which mandates that local public agencies maintain current investment policies. The existing policy has not been revised since 2016, necessitating this administrative update.

Background:

Government Code section 53646 requires the filing of an Investment Policy by local public agencies. The policy was last updated in 2016. At its June 10, 2025 meeting, City Council approved a policy update as part of the Consent Calendar. However, the formal draft resolution as not attached to the item, so staff is requesting formal approval again with this document now appended to this action item.

Analysis:

The proposed edits to the existing Investment Policy are mainly administrative clean-up.

The scope and intent of the Policy continues to emphasize the primary concern for safety and security of principal. The investments will continue to earn current reasonable returns.

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.

HERMOSA BEACH INVESTMENT POLICY
Policy
This policy is intended to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of funds of the City of Hermosa Beach (referred to throughout as 'the City') and to outline the policies for maximizing the efficiency of the City's cash management. The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City consistent with the prudent protection of the City's investments. This investment policy has been prepared in conformance with all pertinent existing laws of the State of California including California Government Code
Sections 53600, et seq.

Scope
It is intended that this policy cover all funds and investment activities of the City except for the proceeds of certain capital project finance programs, which would be invested in accordance with provisions of their specific bond indentures. These funds would be defined and accounted for in the City's audited annual Basic Financial Statements Report and includes any new funds created unless specifically excluded by the City's Staff and Council.

Prudent Investor Standard
The City operates its investment portfolio under the Prudent Investor Standard (California Government Code Section 53600.3) which states, that ''when investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated need of the City, that a prudent person in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the City".

This standard shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio.

Investment officers, acting in accordance with written procedures and this investment policy and exercising the above standard of diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.

Page 74 of 535 ends
Page 2 of 17 ends

Investment Objectives
When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling or managing the City's funds,
(a) The primary objective is to safeguard the principal of the funds. (b) The secondary objective is to meet the liquidity needs of the City. (c) The third objective is to achieve a maximum return on invested funds without compromising (a) or (b).

Safety of Principal
Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City. Each investment transaction shall seek to first ensure that capital losses are avoided, whether they arise from securities defaults, institution default, broker-dealer default, or erosion of market value of securities. The City shall mitigate the risk to the principal of invested funds by limiting credit and interest rate risks. Credit Risk is the risk that the issuer will default (i.e. fail to pay) on an obligation. Interest Rate Risk is the risk that the market value of the City's portfolio will fall due to an increase in general interest rates.

Credit Risk
Credit Risk will be mitigated by:
(a) Limiting investments to only the most credit worthy types of securities. (b) By pre-qualifying the financial institutions with which the City will do business.
(c) By diversifying the investment portfolio so that the potential failure of any one issue or issuer will not place an undue financial burden on the City.

Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk will be mitigated by structuring the City's portfolio so that securities mature to meet the City's cash requirements for ongoing obligations, thereby reducing the possible need to sell securities on the open market at a loss prior to their maturity to meet those requirements.

Liquidity
Availability of sufficient cash to pay for current expenditures shall be maintained in local government investment pools that offer daily liquidity, or short-term securities that can easily be converted into cash because they have secondary markets.

Page 75 of 535 ends
Page 3 of 17 ends

Rates of Return
Yield on investments shall be considered only after the basic requirements of safety and liquidity have been met. The investment portfolio shall be designed to attain a market average rate of return throughout economic cycles, taking into account the City's risk constraints, the composition and cash flow characteristics of the portfolio, and applicable laws.

Delegation of Authority and Safeguards
Authority to manage City's investment program is derived from the California Government Code Sections 41001 - 41007 and 53600 - 53900. The City Manager, Finance Administrative Services Director, and the City Council hereby delegate management responsibility for implementing the investment program to the City Treasurer, according to the procedures set forth, and consistent with this investment policy. Such procedures shall authorize the City Treasurer to execute investment transactions subject to the written approval of either the City Manager or Finance Administrative Services Director. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established and approved by either the Finance Administrative Services Director or City Manager.

Procedures as stated in City Resolution No. 12-6822
(a) The City's funds are currently managed in a safe and prudent manner, with numerous safeguards in place to assure that City funds cannot be misdirected or misappropriated.
(b) Existing safeguards include dual controls on all wired transfers and all City checks.
(c) Contractual relationships with any brokerage entities to be engaged by the City to invest City funds shall be subject to the prior review and approval of the City Council.
(d) All investment transactions must be authorized by the City Manager or Finance Administrative Services Director prior to their execution. (e) The sole authorized signators on City banking and brokerage accounts shall be the City Manager, the Finance Administrative Services Director and Accounting Supervisor Finance Manager.
(f) ln the event of the mental or physical incapacity of the City Treasurer, the functions of the City Treasurer shall be performed by the Finance Administrative Services Director under the direct supervision of the City Manager.

Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions.

Employees and officers shall subordinate their personal investment preferences to those of the City, particularly with regard to the timing of transactions, and shall avoid transactions that might impair public confidence.

Authorized and Suitable Investments
The City is provided a broad spectrum of eligible investments under California Government Code Section 53600 et seq. The City may choose to restrict its permitted investments to a smaller list of securities that more closely fits the City's cash flow needs and requirements for liquidity. If a type of investment is added to California State Code 53600, it will not be added to the City's Authorized Investment List until this policy is amended and approved by the City Council. If a type of investment permitted by the City should be removed from California Government Code 53600, it will be deemed concurrently removed from the City's Authorized Investment List, but existing holdings may be held until they mature if it is in the best interest of the City and recommended by the Treasurer and approved by the City Manager or Finance Director.

Credit criteria listed in this Policy refers to the credit rating of the issuing organization at the time the security• is purchased. The City may from time to time be invested in a security whose rating is downgraded. In the event a rating drops below the minimum allowed by this Policy, the Treasurer will recommend an appropriate plan of action to the City Manager and Finance Administrative Services Director no less frequently than quarterly.

Page 80 of 535 ends
Page 8 of 17 ends

York rated "AA'' or better by Moody's Investors Service or Standard & Poor's Corporation with which the City has entered into a Master Repurchase Agreement.

All collateral used to secure this type of transaction is to be delivered to a third party prior to release of funds. The third party will have an account in the name of the City of Hermosa Beach. The market value of securities used as collateral for repurchase agreements shall be monitored on a daily basis and will not be permitted to fall below a minimum of 102 percent of the value of the repurchase agreement. Collateral shall not have maturities in excess of five years. The right of substitution will be granted, provided that permissible collateral is maintained.

In order to conform with provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Code which provides for the liquidation of securities held as collateral for repurchase agreements, the only securities acceptable as collateral shall be securities that are direct obligations of and guaranteed by the U.S. Government and Agency securities as permitted under this policy. The City will maintain a first perfected security interest in the securities subject to the repurchase agreement and shall have a contractual right to liquidation of purchased securities upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or other default of the counter party.

Investment Pools
A thorough investigation of any investment pool, money market or mutual fund is required prior to investing and on a continual basis. The purpose of this investigation is to determine the suitability of a pool or fund and evaluate the risk of placing funds with that pool or fund. The investigation will, at a minimum, obtain the following information:
(a) A description of interest calculations and how it is distributed, and how gains and losses are distributed.
(b) A description of how securities are safeguarded (including the settlement process) and how often the securities are marked to market and how often an audit is conducted.
(c) A description of who may invest in the program, how often, what size deposits and withdrawals are permitted.
(d) A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings. (e) Does the pool/fund maintain a reserve or retain earnings or is all income after expenses distributed to participants?
(f) A fee schedule that discloses when and how fees are assessed. (g) Determining if the pool or fund is eligible for bond proceeds and/or will it accept such proceeds.

Collateralization of Uninsured Time Deposits
Uninsured Time Deposits (that exceed FDIC's limits per Institution) with banks and savings and loans shall be collateralized and monitored in the manner prescribed by state law for depositories accepting investment funds from public governmental entities.

Page 81 of 535 ends
Page 9 of 17 ends

Safekeeping and Custody of all Securities
All securities owned by the City shall be held in safekeeping by a third party bank trust department acting as agent for the City under the terms of a custody agreement executed by the bank and the City. All securities will be received and delivered using standard delivery versus payment (DVP) procedures. The third party bank trustee agreement must comply with Section 53608 of the California Government Code. No outside broker/dealer or advisor may have access to City funds, accounts or investments and any transfer of funds must be approved by the City Manager or Finance Director.

Diversification and Risk
The City recognizes that investment risks can result from issuer defaults, market price changes or various technical complications leading to temporary illiquidity. To minimize the City's exposure to these types of risk, the portfolio should be diversified among several types of institutions, instruments and maturities. The City Treasurer shall minimize default risk by prudently selecting only instruments and institutions, which at the time of placement have been evaluated for their financial viability and compliance with this policy. No individual investment transaction shall be undertaken that jeopardizes the total capital position of the overall portfolio. Risk shall also be managed by subscribing to a portfolio management philosophy that helps to control market and interest rate risk by matching investments with cash flow requirements. In the event of a default by a specific issuer, the Treasurer shall evaluate the liquidation of securities having comparable credit risks. Diversification strategies shall be established and reviewed by the City Manager and Finance Director.

Maximum Maturities
Every effort will be made to match investment maturities to cash flow needs. Matching maturities with cash flow dates will reduce the need to sell securities prior to maturity, thus reducing market risk. Unless matched to a specific requirement, no more than 50% of the investment portfolio may be invested with maturities greater than 3 years.

Unless matched to a specific requirement and approved by the City Council, · no investment may be made with a maturity greater than 5 years.

Investment Policy Adoption
The City’s Investment Policy shall be adopted by resolution of the City Council. The policy shall be reviewed periodically by the City Manager and Finance Administrative Services Director. Modifications or changes to this policy are to be recommended by the City Manager and Finance Administrative Services Director for approval by the City Council. The City Treasurer shall submit this Investment Policy annually to the City Council for review and approval.

The external auditors shall review annually the investments and general activities associated with the investment program to ensure compliance with this Investment Policy. This review will provide internal control by assuring compliance with policies and procedures established by this Investment Policy.

The investment portfolio will be managed in accordance with the standards established within this Investment Policy and will attempt to achieve a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City's investment risk constraints, cash flow needs and maturities of the investments. The basis to determine whether market yields are being achieved shall be the total return of the portfolio.

Reporting
The City Treasurer shall submit an investment report to the City Council every 30 days. and shall include information about the investment of all funds in the custody of the City. This report shall include all items listed in Section 53646(b) of the Government Code. These reports will include the following information about the investment of all funds:

Meeting Date: June 24, 2025
Staff Report No. 25-AS-054
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council APPROVAL OF LEASE EXTENSION FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 552 11TH PLACE (HERMOSA SELF STORAGE).
(Administrative Services Director Brandon Walker)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Approve the extension of a month-to-month lease; and

2. Direct the City Manager to execute the extension of the lease (Attachment 1).

Background:

The City assumed the existing lease (with an expiration date of 1/31/09) when the property was purchased in March 2005. The lease is a triple net lease (whereby the lessee is responsible for insurance, taxes and maintenance). The original lease rate was $15,646.92 per month, with an annual CPI adjustment not to exceed 3%. The lease was extended in 2008 for three years through January 31, 2012. In 2012, the lease was extended for another three years through January 31, 2015 at a reduced lease amount of $15,000 with removal of the CPI clause. Mr. Richard Thielscher of Thielscher-Randall Corporation, owner of the Hermosa Self-Storage, requested the reduction based on continuing increased vacancies and a decline in the storage business due to the economy as well as the need for roof and pump maintenance, for which he is financially responsible.

The City Council extended the lease on January 31, 2015 for 60 days through March 31, 2015 and for an additional 30 days through April 30, 2015. The lease was then extended for an additional five-year term through April 30, 2020, adding a one-year termination clause after the first two years of this extension. The lease was month-to-month beginning on May 1, 2020. At its meeting on June 23, 2020, City Council approved the sixth amendment to the lease, extending the terms for five years, commencing July 1, 2020 and ending on June 30, 2025, increasing the rent to $20,000 per month, and including an annual cost of living adjustment not to exceed 3%.

Analysis:

The current lease amendment is due to expire on June 30, 2025. The new seventh amendment is needed to extend the lease with the city continues to negotiate with the current tenant on a longer-term deal. The agreement is month-to-month maintaining the

Page 91 of 535 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 2
current monthly rent of $22,510.18. The agreement updates a termination clause with sixmonth notice to the lessee. (Please see attached agreement).

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

Governance
Goal 6. A broad-based and long-term economic development strategy for Hermosa Beach that supports existing businesses while attacking new business and tourism.

APPROVAL OF THE SIXTH AMENDMENT 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 sixth amendment to an agreement with Willdan Engineering for plan review and staff augmentation services to increase the not-to-exceed amount by $70,000, resulting in a total not-to-exceed amount of $565,000 and an extended term ending August 31, 2025 (Attachment 1); and

2. Authorize the Mayor to execute and the City Clerk to attest the attached sixth 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 sixth amendment to an agreement with Willdan Engineering would increase the not-to-exceed compensation by $70,000 resulting in a total amended not-to-exceed limit of $565,000 with an extended contract term ending August 31, 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

Page 97 of 535 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 5
Development Department with an expiration date of June 30, 2025. The contract services budget for building plan review services is $200,000 for Fiscal Year 2024-2025. The same amount is projected for Fiscal Year 2025-2026.

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 23, 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).

At its February 25, 2025, meeting, City Council approved the fifth 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 $495,000 (Attachment 7).

Discussion:

To effectively serve residents, businesses, and the development community, the City must ensure that building plan review services are provided in a timely manner. Customarily, many jurisdictions aim for a maximum 30-day timeframe to provide an initial review of projects by Planning and Building Safety staff. To meet these expectations, 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.

Since the last two quarters of 2024 and continuing into 2025, the Community Development Department has experienced a sustained increase in the volume of plan reviews, including several larger commercial tenant improvement projects. Due to staffing limitations and recent ongoing organizational changes within the Department, staff encountered delays in completing the Request for Proposals (RFP) process. 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 July 2025. The current contract term is scheduled to end on June 30, 2025.

Willdan Engineering is a well-regarded firm that assists many public agencies in Southern California. The Community Development Department began utilizing Willdan Engineering

Page 99 of 535 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 5
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.

Staff requests the proposed sixth amendment to an agreement with Willdan Engineering to increase the not-to-exceed compensation by $70,000 resulting in a total amended notto-exceed amount of $565,000. Staff also requests that the term of the contract be extended by two months, with a new contract end date of August 31, 2025. 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 extended term of the contract ending August 31, 2025.

The current Professional Service Agreements for building plan review services are being refreshed through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process that is currently underway and due to be completed by the end of July 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 sixth amendment to this agreement would increase the not-toexceed limit for Willdan Engineering by $70,000 for a revised total of $565,000 and

Project advertised on 12/12/24 (4 months ahead of schedule), bid opening on 01/15/25. Construction contract awarded by Council on February 25, 2025. Contract is fully executed. Pre-construction meeting was on March 19, 2025. NTP and start of construction April 7, 2025. All concrete have been completed. Pier Ave. and Valley Dr. striping works are arrpoximetly 75% complete and overall project is approximately 90% complete. Anticipated completion July 2025 (5 months ahead of schedule).

This project provides for pavement rehabilitation of various streets throughout the city. The project will also repair/replace deteriorated portions of sidewalk, curb and gutter, and curb ramps.

This work will be performed following the sewer and storm drain repairs identified in the Sewer and Drainage Master Plans.

This project is combined with CIP 695 Parking Lot A Improvements. 109 Utility Box Wrappings SH $ 48,500 Karla Vargas X 07/21 10/25 Art has been designed and installed on 16 of the 24 utility boxes. One additional box is currently in the process of being wrapped by the Public Works maintenance team. Designs have been finalized for 4 of the remaining 8 boxes, with installation to follow. The scheduled has been extended to allow additional necessary time for PW staff to prepare electronic art work, paint and repair utility boxes and schedule wrapping.

This project will add decorative paint and/or wraps to city-owned utility boxes throughout the city. The City is engaging a local artist cooperative to create the artwork that will either be painted or applied via vinyl wrap to the boxes. City Yard staff, who have been trained in wrap application, will be involved in this project. 111 Gateway and Wayfinding Signs
Conceptual Design SH $ 48,877 Brandon Araujo X 07/21 01/26 Project timeline extended due to staffing availability and contract agreement expiration. Staff procured a new contract agreement in fall 2024, that was then executed in December 2024. Staff has since completed a more detailed existing conditions inventory assessment and finalized initial comments on the draft preliminary designs that have been sent to the design consultant for consideration. Staff is actively working to negotiate a task order agreement under the new contract to finalize the preliminary design effort, which, once resumed, is anticipated to take approximately 5 to 7 months to complete.

The adopted budget for Fiscal Year 2024–25 identifies the next phase of the project under the Deferred and Unfunded Future Project list and would need to be considered for funding as part of a future budget cycle; CIP 111 is preliminary design only and does not include any funding for final design or implementation.

This project will evaluate gateway and wayfinding signage throughout the city. Recommendations will include locations, preliminary design, and order of magnitude cost estimates for final design, sign fabrication, and installation. 164 Hermosa Avenue Green Street SH $ 141,206 Briana Aube X 02/18 04/26 The City of Torrance is the lead agency for the project and awarded a construction contract to Excel Paving Inc. in May 2025. A preconstruction meeting was held on June 11, 2025, at the City of Torrance. Construction in Hermosa Beach is tentatively scheduled to begin in mid October 2025 to January 2026.

This project will install permeable gutters to increase stormwater infiltration on Hermosa Avenue, Beach Drive, Herondo Street, 6th Street, 2nd Street, 1st Street, and adjacent streets.

This project is part of a multi-city green street project led by the City of Torrance and funded by Measure W.

X 194 Annual Striping Improvements SH $ 235,712 Andrew Nguyen X 07/21 07/25 Combined with CIP 502 and 604. As of November 2024, City has been awarded $529,000 in Measure A grant funds from the LA County Regional Park and Open Space District.

The construction phase is complete and the post-construction phase has started.

This project provides traffic striping and pavement marking improvements and modifications to improve safety and visibility. This project will help address thermoplastic striping needed which the City is not capable of installing directly.

This project is combined with CIP 502 Greenbelt Pedestrian Trail and CIP 604 Citywide ADA Improvements. All phases of these projects will advance concurrently to construct an ADA-compliant, accessible path on the Greenbelt between Pier Avenue and 8th Street with access to the Greenbelt via improved curb ramps, sidewalk, pavement markings, signage, ADA parking, and other safety and accessibility measures.
421 Annual Sewer Improvements - Phase 2 SD $ 3,972,058 Andrew Nguyen X 11/19 09/25 Contract awarded on July 9, 2024. Construction Agreement was fully executed on August 15, 2024. Construction started September 16, 2024.

Pre-construction CCTV camera work completed. CCTV and access hole base repairs completed. Sewer main point repairs completed; removal and replacement of main sewer underway.

Contractor is currently completing work in the area of 25th Street and Park Avenue.

Project is approximately 70% complete.

Anticipated completion date has been pushed back due to a number of delays: soil conditions and utility conflicts that necessitate extensive handdigging, undisclosed concrete encasements that impeded timely sewer removal and replacement, an emergency sewer collapse on 11th Street in mid-April, the discovery of over a dozen laterals on 11th Street between Prospect Avenue and Harper Avenue that were not shown on the Plans that needed to be reconnected to the new sewer main, a residential emergency backup on 17th Street that was tangentially related to our project.

Phase 1 of this project, which included lining, was completed. Phase 2 of this project includes design and construction of sewer improvements and repairs based on the Sewer Master Plan. Improvements will include sewer pipe point repairs, sewer pipe removal and replacement, and maintenance access hole rehabilitations.

Sewer repairs will take place at various locations throughout the city as part of this project.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council ANNUAL STAFFING VACANCIES REPORT – ASSEMBLY BILL 2561 (AB 2561) (Human Resources Manager Tiffany Nguyen)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Conduct a Public Hearing in compliance with the requirements of AB 2561; and

2. Receive and file the FY 2024-25 annual employee vacancy report as required by AB 2561 (Attachment 1).

Executive Summary:

In September 2024, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 2561 (AB 2561) into law, which was enacted as Government Code § 3502.3 and became effective January 1, 2025.

AB 2561 requires public agencies to present the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts at a public hearing at least once per fiscal year. The intent of the bill is to increase transparency and promote equitable employment opportunities.

Background:

The passage of AB 2561 recognizes the following challenges in public sector employment:
 Job vacancies in public agencies are widespread, which has a significant impact on public sector service delivery.
 High vacancy rates contribute to increased workloads for existing employees, which leads to burnout and higher turnover.
 There is a statewide interest in ensuring that public agencies are adequately staffed to support public service functions.

Analysis:

In compliance with AB 2561, the City of Hermosa Beach is required to take the following actions:

1. Report job vacancies, recruitment, and retention efforts at a public hearing at least once each fiscal year. This must be done prior to the adoption of the final budget.

2. Identify any necessary changes to policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may lead to obstacles in the hiring process.

Page 141 of 535 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 4

3. Provide recognized bargaining units with an opportunity to participate in the public hearing.

Assembly Bill No. 2561
CHAPTER 409
An act to add Section 3502.3 to the Government Code, relating to public employment. [ Approved by Governor September 22, 2024. Filed with Secretary of State September 22, 2024. ]

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2561, McKinnor. Local public employees: vacant positions.

Existing law, the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (act), authorizes local public employees, as defined, to form, join, and participate in the activities of employee organizations of their own choosing for the purpose of representation on matters of labor relations. The act requires the governing body of a public agency to meet and confer in good faith regarding wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment with representatives of recognized employee organizations and to consider fully presentations that are made by the employee organization on behalf of its members before arriving at a determination of policy or course of action.

This bill would, as specified, require a public agency to present the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts at a public hearing at least once per fiscal year, and would entitle the recognized employee organization to present at the hearing. If the number of job vacancies within a single bargaining unit meets or exceeds 20% of the total number of authorized full-time positions, the bill would require the public agency, upon request of the recognized employee organization, to include specified information during the public hearing. By imposing new duties on local public agencies, the bill would impose a statemandated local program. The bill would also include related legislative findings.

The California Constitution requires local agencies, for the purpose of ensuring public access to the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies, to comply with a statutory enactment that amends or enacts laws relating to public records or open meetings and contains findings demonstrating that the enactment furthers the constitutional requirements relating to this purpose.

This bill would make legislative findings to that effect.

Page 145 of 535 ends

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions for costs mandated by the state pursuant to this act, but would recognize that a local agency or school district may pursue any available remedies to seek reimbursement for these costs.

Digest Key
Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: YES Bill Text
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

The Legislature finds and declares as follows:
(a) Job vacancies in local government are a widespread and significant problem for the public sector affecting occupations across wage levels and educational requirements. (b) High job vacancies impact public service delivery and the workers who are forced to handle heavier workloads, with understaffing leading to burnout and increased turnover that further exacerbate staffing challenges.
(c) There is a statewide interest in ensuring that public agency operations are appropriately staffed and that high vacancy rates do not undermine public employee labor relations.

SEC. 2.

Section 3502.3 is added to the Government Code, to read:
3502.3.
(a) (1) A public agency shall present the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts during a public hearing before the governing board at least once per fiscal year. (2) If the governing board will be adopting an annual or multiyear budget during the fiscal year, the presentation shall be made prior to the adoption of the final budget.

Page 146 of 535 ends

(3) During the hearing, the public agency shall identify any necessary changes to policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may lead to obstacles in the hiring process. (b) The recognized employee organization for a bargaining unit shall be entitled to make a presentation at the public hearing at which the public agency presents the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts for positions within that bargaining unit. (c) If the number of job vacancies within a single bargaining unit meets or exceeds 20 percent of the total number of authorized full-time positions, the public agency shall, upon request of the recognized employee organization, include all of the following information during the public hearing:
(1) The total number of job vacancies within the bargaining unit. (2) The total number of applicants for vacant positions within the bargaining unit. (3) The average number of days to complete the hiring process from when a position is posted.
(4) Opportunities to improve compensation and other working conditions. (d) This section shall not prevent the governing board from holding additional public hearings about vacancies.
(e) The provisions of this section are severable. If any provision of this section or its application is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application. (f) For purposes of this section, “recognized employee organization” has the same meaning as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 3501.

SEC. 3.

The Legislature finds and declares that Section 2 of this act, which adds Section 3502.3 to the Government Code, furthers, within the meaning of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the purposes of that constitutional section as it relates to the right of public access to the meetings of local public bodies or the writings of local public officials and local agencies. Pursuant to paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the Legislature makes the following findings:

It is in the public interest, and it furthers the purposes of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section (3) of Article I of the California Constitution, to ensure that information concerning public agency employment is available to the public.

Page 147 of 535 ends

SEC. 4.

No reimbursement shall be made pursuant to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code for costs mandated by the state pursuant to this act. It is recognized, however, that a local agency or school district may pursue any remedies to obtain reimbursement available to it under Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) and any other law.

Council removed two projects during the study session, which resulted in the 2025–26 Capital Improvement Program including 36 projects. The total CIP budget totals $33.9 million, which includes $18.5 million in estimated carryover funds from 2024–25.

The City utilized an interactive online budget document for the fifth year and City Council held a special meeting as the FY 2025-26 Budget Study Session on June 10, 2025.

Dear City Council Members.

I understand funding for the HB Green Business Program might be cut from the city's budget.

I own West Coast Sweat and am writing to let you know I'm a big supporter of the program.

Because of the program we received $2000 in grants and rebates at a very critical time just after opening our studio. These funds helped us pay for repairs and upgrades needed to open our studio. The program manager also worked with the mayor to install a city bike rack next to our parking lot which our patrons use daily. Please keep this valuable program that helps small businesses like mine.

Thank you so much,
Rosa

Re: Greenwich Village North Utility Underground District:

June 24, 2025 Council Meeting, Agenda Item 16(b)
Dear Councilmembers:

We need your help. As you consider the 2025-2026 FY Budget, please consider the Greenwich Village North Utility Underground District – which has been in process for more than 10 years.

We are very close to the finish line and need the City to step up and take responsibility for actions, and inactions, by prior staff members which caused construction and other costs to be MUCH HIGHER than anticipated in the assessment budget approved by voters almost FIVE YEARS AGO. To be clear, current staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. However, they inherited a “Shit-Show Rodeo” (pardon my language) from their predecessors.

We need to finalize the budget prior to July 15, which may require a special Council Meeting, and have Council approve issuance of the bonds at its July 22 meeting or we will face delays of up to another 12 months, and certainly greatly increased costs.

To make up a portion of the budget deficit, the Board of Directors of the Association, formed to represent property owners in this District, has arranged with its constituency to “donate” certain funds previously deposited with the City to pay upfront costs. Those funds were supposed to be reimbursed to the property owners. In exchange for that concession by the property owners, the Association requests the City Council direct staff as follows:

1. To apply only a 15% contingency on top of the City’s civil construction bid. Joe and his team are absolutely uncomfortable with this and believe it may put the City’s general fund at risk for cost overruns. Nonetheless, the City mandated design, to move existing facilities and all new facilities into the bike path, and putting vault vents in the median, resulted in a far more complex build and far greater expenses. We cannot revert that design to a simple straight line without incurring another 18-24 months delay for the utilities to prepare revised plans.

We believe the City should bear some responsibility and risk for this ridiculous design. This reduced contingency will reduce the funding deficit by $115,375. Of course, this may require allocation of a reserve in the 25-26 budget.

2. To “return to the budget” a $100,000 line item for City Administration services.

The Association and its constituents would be extremely unhappy if the City charges the District for staff time – given the absolute mess prior staff made of this project. And we believe this would be “found money” in the 25-26 budget.

I have attached some Google Earth screengrabs showing certain highlights of the District. I’ve also attached the City’s current budget for this project, in pdf and - for those of you who like to “play with the numbers” – excel.

We appreciate your consideration of these requests and, again, would like to acknowledge the dedication of Joe SanClemente, Brandon Araujo and the rest of the team to working with the Association to get this done.

Best,
Nancy Schwappach

GREENWICH VILLAGE NORTH UTILITY UNDERGROUND ASSESSMENT DISTRICT Yellow pins are northern and southern boundaries of the 98 property district.

Blue pins are points of interest: Start of dedicated curbed bike path, sample pole with existing vaults in driveway behind Strand homes, and, for perspective, the Builder’s Remedy project which is just north of and not included in the district.

Page 174 of 535 ends

Southern portion of the District – North End Bar and Grill on the East Side, 2601 The Strand on the West Side

Page 175 of 535 ends

Northern portion of the District – Builder’s Remedy project is second house north of the northeastern most property in the District

Page 176 of 535 ends

Sample pole showing existing vaults in driveway behind Strand home. The City insisted in the design that the structures all be moved into the bike path, with vault vents in the median. A much more complex, and costly TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS, design.

The existing vaults, for utilities which owners have previously undergrounded from their house to the pole, are visible just below the pole. The vault vents will be placed in the median, which in this case already includes street light and irrigation controls. This was a terrible design, was required by the City, caused construction costs to be much higher, and the City is making the property owners pay the price.

Staff Report No. 25-PW-036
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council

ADOPT A RESOLUTION CONFIRMING THE DIAGRAM AND LEVYING

ASSESSMENTS FOR THE HERMOSA BEACH LANDSCAPING AND STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT FISCAL YEAR 2025–2026
(Public Works Director Joe SanClemente)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Conduct a public hearing in connection with the levy of assessments for the Hermosa Beach Landscaping and Street Lighting District for Fiscal Year 2025–26; and

2. Adopt a Resolution (Attachment 1) confirming the diagram and assessment found in the Engineer’s Report (Attachment 2) for Hermosa Beach Landscaping and Street Lighting District 2025–2026 and levying an assessment for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2026.

Executive Summary:

The Hermosa Beach Landscaping and Street Lighting District (“District”) collects funds for the maintenance and operation of the citywide street lighting program and landscaping within street medians and parkways. The City Council must approve the annual enrollment of assessments within the District through a three-step process. Staff recommends taking the above recommended actions thereby completing the third step of this renewal process.

Background:

The District was created in Fiscal Year 1989–90, pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets and Highways Code Sections 22500–22679). The District assessment funds the maintenance and operation of streetlights, traffic signals, and landscaping located within parkways and medians citywide.

The City Council must approve the annual enrollment of assessments within the District through a three-step process.

First, Council directs the Director of Public Works to prepare an Engineer’s Report, which includes the estimated cost of maintaining the District, the list of parcels within the District,

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 4
and the method of apportionment of the assessment. At its February 25, 2025 meeting, City Council adopted Resolution 25-7474 authorizing preparation of this report.

Second, staff presents the Engineer’s Report (Attachment 2) to Council for approval and requests to set a date for a public hearing declaring the City Council’s intention to order certain improvements and to levy and collect assessments within the District for the new fiscal year. At its May 27, 2025, meeting, Council adopted Resolution 25-7491 approving the Engineer’s Report, and Resolution 25-7492, declaring the City’s intent to order certain improvements, to levy and collect assessments, and to set June 24, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. as the date and time for a public hearing. The notice of the public hearing was published in the paper on June 5, 2025.

The third and final step is to hold a public hearing and adopt a resolution confirming the map and assessment for the District for Fiscal Year 2025–2026, levy the set assessment per-unit rate for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2026; and adopt the Fiscal Year 2025–2026 estimated revenue for secured collections for the District.

Analysis:

The City complies with Proposition 218 and can continue to levy assessments without requiring a ballot, provided the assessments are not increased. The assessment rate per dwelling unit has not increased since the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996 and will continue at the rate of $41.45 per dwelling unit in Fiscal Year 2025–2026.

The Council is now considering the third, and final, step in the process: holding the public hearing. If there is no majority protest, the City may authorize the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2026.

Environmental Review:

The proposed project is categorically exempt from the CEQA. The project, which includes initiation of proceedings for the levying of annual assessments for landscape maintenance purposes, is within certain classes of projects that have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment in that it meets the criteria set forth in Section 15301, subsection (h), and Section 15306 of the CEQA guidelines. The project provides information collection for the District, as well as maintenance of existing landscaping, and will not involve any expansion of an existing use or the removal of healthy, mature, or scenic trees. In addition, based on the proposed project records, it will comply with all applicable regulations; it is not in a sensitive environment; and there are no cumulative impacts, unusual circumstances, damage to scenic highways, listing on hazardous waste site lists compiled pursuant to Government Code, Section 65962.5, or indications that it may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource that would make the exemptions inapplicable.

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:

Mobility Element
Goal 2. A public realm that is safe, comfortable, and convenient for travel via foot, bicycle, public transit, and automobile and creates vibrant, people oriented public spaces that encourage active living.

Policies:
 2.1 Prioritize public rights-of-way. Prioritize improvements of public rights-ofway that provide heightened levels of safe, comfortable, and attractive public spaces for all non-motorized travelers while balancing the need of efficient vehicular circulation.
 2.4 Sustainable landscape. Use consistent and sustainable landscape and streetscape designs that reflect the city’s community identity; showcase local assets and the community’s unique and vibrant culture.

Parks + Open Space Element
Goal 10. Abundant landscaping, trees, and green space provided throughout the community.

Policy:
 10.3 Green space co-benefits. Recognize the many positive qualities provided by landscaping, trees, and green space including reduced heat gain, controlled stormwater runoff, absorbed noise, reduced soil erosion, improved aesthetic character, and absorption of air pollution.

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

Policies:
 1.1 Infrastructure systems plan. Establish and adopt an integrated, holistic systems approach to guide infrastructure development, improvement, maintenance, and resilience.
 1.4 Fair share assessments. Require new development and redevelopment projects to pay their fair share of the cost of infrastructure improvements needed to serve the project and ensure that needed infrastructure is available prior to or at the time of project completion.

Fiscal Impact:

The total cost of the operation and maintenance of the Landscaping and Street Lighting District 2025–2026 is estimated to be $874,031. The anticipated assessment to be collected for Fiscal Year 2025–2026 is $458,769. The $415,262 difference is offset by $4,408 from Fiscal Year 2024–2025 Landscaping and Lighting District fund balance, $10,519 from miscellaneous revenues, and an additional $400,335 to be transferred from the General Fund to cover the deficit.

For the Fiscal Year 2025–2026 Budget, staff has budgeted $30,000 in the Lighting & Landscaping Fund to conduct a feasibility study to increase the assessment in order to eliminate the need for the general fund transfer. The feasibility study may also incorporate recommendations from the Parks Master Plan and is slated for City Council’s further consideration in Fiscal Year 2025–2026. To effectuate any proposed rate increase, the City must conduct a majority protest ballot proceeding in compliance with Proposition 218.
