Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council

ADOPT TWO RESOLUTIONS AND RATIFY THE EMERGENCY CONTRACT FOR

THE SINKHOLE AND STORM DRAIN REPAIRS ON VALLEY DRIVE
CEQA: Determine the Annual Storm Drain Improvements project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction) and Section 15269 (Emergency Repairs). The proposed work is emergency replacement or reconstruction of existing utility systems and/or facilities involving negligible or no expansion of capacity. (Public Works Director Joe SanClemente)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Adopt a Resolution, requiring a four-fifths (4/5) vote of the City Council, pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22050, to declare an emergency in response to a sink hole on Valley Drive due to storm drain failure, ratify the action taken by the City Manager, and authorize the City Manager to take further action as may be necessary (Attachment 2);

2. Adopt a Resolution proclaiming the termination of the existence of a local emergency (Attachment 2); and

3. Authorize the Director of Public Works to file a Notice of Completion following completion of the project.

Executive Summary:

The emergency repair project consists of excavation of trench, backfilling with slurry, and replacement approximately 30 linear feet of storm drainpipe to connect to the existing 30- inch diameter storm drainpipe and the restoration of asphalt pavement at the location of a sinkhole discovered on Valley Drive approximately 375 feet south of Gould Avenue.

Background:

The Public Works Department was notified of a sinkhole at Valley Park, located near the north side of the Rotary Club exit driveway. City staff continued to monitor the damaged roadway and it was observed that the sinkhole expanded, spanning both travel lanes, further damaging the roadway. City staff investigated the roadway and discovered that the issue was caused by a failed section of an existing corrugated metal storm drain pipe.

Staff then conducted boring tests and soil samples to further define the limits of the impacted area, which extended approximately 3 feet on each side of the 30-inch pipe.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3
Analysis:

Pursuant to Municipal Code section 3.12.060 and 3.14.010, as well as the California Public Contract Code section 22050, the city staff is authorized to take immediate action for emergency repairs or replacements when necessary to avoid danger or life or property.

City staff may then proceed at once to replace or repair any public facility and/or procure the necessary equipment, services and supplies, without giving notice of bids to let contracts.

The City Manager notified the City Council in writing on July 29, 2025 of the need and findings for an Emergency Declaration, the emergency declaration letter is attached as Exhibit A to Resolution RES-25-.

The sinkhole caused significant damage to the adjacent street, resulting from the failure of 30-inch corrugated metal pipe that connects the Greenbelt culvert headwall to the Valley Drive storm drain system. Due to the severity of damage, it was necessary to quickly engage a contractor to perform the necessary repairs and restore both the storm drain system and the street as quickly as possible.

GRBCON Inc., the contractor currently handling the construction of the City’s sewer Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project (CIP 421), was selected to conduct the repairs to the City’s 30-inch storm drain and restore the impacted roadway. An emergency contract was issued to GRBCON, Incorporated for these repairs related to the pipe replacement and street restoration, with a total cost of $104,125. (Attachment 3).

The construction work commenced on Monday, August 4, 2025 and all work was completed on, Wednesday, August 6, 2025, within the contract limit.

Environmental Analysis
The Project is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction) and Section 15269 (Emergency Repairs). The proposed work is emergency replacement or reconstruction of existing utility system involving negligible or no expansion of capacity. No exceptions to the CEQA exemption apply.

Fiscal Impact:

The emergency repair work will be funded by budgeted CIP 417 (Storm Drain Improvements) project funds in the Storm Drain Fund.

From: City Manager
Date: 7.29.25
Re: Emergency Declaration for Sinkhole Repair on Valley Drive Due to Storm Drain Failure The Municipal Code and the California Public Contract Code provide for the awarding of construction contracts for emergency repairs by the City Manager when an emergency resolution is adopted by resolution by no less than a 4/5 vote at the next City Council meeting after the emergency action to repair the damage.

Section 3.12.060 of the Municipal Code provides:

The purchasing officer shall establish a procedure whereby emergency purchases may be made free of the provisions of this chapter upon a showing by any agency or officer that the purchase required is for the immediate preservation of health, safety and welfare of the people or for the protection of property and that there is a present, immediate and existing emergency which could not reasonably be foreseen, or that the city stands to suffer substantial monetary loss.

Section 22050 of the Public Contract Code provides in pertinent part:
(a) (1) In the case of an emergency, a public agency, pursuant to a four-fifths vote of its governing body, may repair or replace a public facility, take any directly related and immediate action required by that emergency, and procure the necessary equipment, services, and supplies for those purposes, without giving notice for bids to let contracts. (2) Before a governing body takes any action pursuant to paragraph (1), it shall make a finding, based on substantial evidence set forth in the minutes of its meeting, that the emergency will not permit a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation for bids, and that the action is necessary to respond to the emergency.
(b) (1) The governing body, by a four-fifths vote, may delegate, by resolution or ordinance, to the appropriate county administrative officer, city manager, chief engineer, or other nonelected agency officer, the authority to order any action pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a).
(2) If the public agency has no county administrative officer, city manager, chief engineer, or other nonelected agency officer, the governing body, by a four-fifths vote, may delegate

1315 Valley Drive, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 | hermosabeach.gov | HermosaBeachCity HermosaBchCity

to an elected officer the authority to order any action specified in paragraph (1) of subdivision (a).
(3) If a person with authority delegated pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2) orders any action specified in paragraph (1) of subdivision (a), that person shall report to the governing body, at its next meeting required pursuant to this section, the reasons justifying why the emergency will not permit a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation for bids and why the action is necessary to respond to the emergency.

Public Contract Code section 1102 provides:
“Emergency,” as used in this code, means a sudden, unexpected occurrence that poses a clear and imminent danger, requiring immediate action to prevent or mitigate the loss or impairment of life, health, property, or essential public services.

City staff has reported to the City Manager that the need for the following work is caused by a sudden, unexpected occurrence that poses a clear and imminent danger, requiring immediate action to prevent or mitigate the loss or impairment of life, health, property, or essential public services (the “Work”):

City staff responded to a reported sinkhole on a section of roadway on Valley Drive between Gould Avenue and the Kiwanis/Rotary Club. Based on visual inspection by City staff, the sinkhole appears to have been created due to the failure of a deteriorated storm drain pipe below the roadway. The failure of the storm drain pipe and the resulting roadway damage present an immediate hazard that could potentially expose persons and property to injury and damage. City staff have placed a temporary steel plate over the sinkhole, however future storm water flows may substantially undermine and damage additional segments of the roadway, curb, gutter, sidewalk and adjacent underground utility structures. Therefore, the possibility of worsening roadway conditions coupled with increased traffic and pedestrian volumes in the area necessitate that work be completed to repair the damage and limit additional damage prior to the August 20, 2025, start of the school year for the Hermosa Beach City School District.

Based on the foregoing, the City Manager finds that the Work will not permit a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation for bids, and that the action is necessary to respond to the emergency, and therefore authorizes staff to award a contract for the Work, and to report to the City Council at its next meeting, the reasons justifying why the emergency will not permit a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation for bids and why the action is necessary to respond to the emergency.

Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 22050(c), said meeting shall occur not later than 7 days after the action, or at the City Council’s next regularly scheduled meeting if that meeting will occur not later than 14 days after the action, and at least at every regularly scheduled meeting thereafter until the action is terminated, to determine, by a four-fifths vote, that there is a need to continue the action, unless a person with authority delegated has terminated that action prior to the governing body reviewing the emergency action and making a determination.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council

CONSIDERATION OF REVERTING GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENTS TO THREE

MINUTES PER SPEAKER AND INCLUDING REMOTE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION FOR

THE GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD
(City Clerk Myra Maravilla)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council discuss:

1. Time limits set for the general public comment period; and

2. Expanding the general public comment option to allow for virtual participation.

Executive Summary:

At its regular May 27, 2025, City Council meeting, Councilmember Keegan, with the support of Councilmember Francois and Mayor Saemann, requested a future agenda item to revert the general public comment period to three minutes per speaker and allow for virtual participation.

Background:

At its February 15, 2024 meeting, the City Council adopted Resolution No. RES-24-7414, establishing rules for the conduct of City Council meetings and subsidiary boards and commissions.

Time Limits
Resolution No. RES-24-7414 restricts the general public comment period to two minutes per speaker for a total of thirty minutes. It adds a second general public comment period for speakers unable to provide general public comment during the first opportunity because the thirty-minute time limit is exhausted. The time limit exists to ensure that business items are heard in a timely manner. The Presiding Officer has the discretion to extend individual time limits and forgo the set thirty-minute total time limit as deemed appropriate. This has been the past practice of the Presiding Officer.

Prior to Resolution No. RES-24-7414, general public comment allowed three minutes per speaker with no total time limit. However, on September 26, 2023, the City Council was the target of a coordinated attack where multiple members of the public flooded the City’s Zoom meeting requesting to comment. These commenters proceeded to make hateful, bigoted, antisemitic, and sexist remarks intended to disrupt the meeting. These comments

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3
were not related to City business in any way and instead were vile attempts to stoke a reaction from City officials and disrupt the City Council’s public meeting.

Remote Participation
At its August 10, 2021 meeting, the City Council transitioned to a hybrid in-person and virtual format for its meetings and subsidiary boards and commissions after it proclaimed a state of emergency under AB 361 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Subsequently, the City Council has continued to hold hybrid meetings, although it is no longer required by law.

The Brown Act does not legally mandate that the public be allowed to participate remotely unless a member of the City Council attends the meeting virtually under the remote participation rules of AB 2449 or under the traditional teleconferencing options.

Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
August 10, 2021 City Council authorized the continuation of a hybrid (in-person and virtual) format for meetings conducted by the City.

December 12, 2023
City Council approved changes to the agenda and meeting procedures to limit general public comments to two minutes per speaker for a total of thirty minutes for general public comment, along with other changes.

February 15, 2024 City Council approved Resolution No. RES-25-7414, effectuating the changes made at their December 12, 2023 meeting.

May 27, 2025
Councilmember Keegan requested a future agenda item to revert the general public comment period to three minutes per speaker and allow for virtual participation.

Discussion:

The City Council expressed interest in reverting to the three-minute time limit per speaker under general public comment at its May 27, 2025, meeting. Resolution No. RES-24- 7414 provides parameters for general public comment for City Council and subsidiary boards and commissions.

Should the City Council revert to the three-minute time limit per speaker and allow virtual participation during the general public comment period, the changes would be immediately implemented across all subsidiary boards and commissions. A resolution would be brought back to the City Council to formally ratify the changes.

Fiscal Impact:

The annual subscription cost for providing a virtual participation option via the Zoom platform is approximately $6,000.

Public comment will be taken first by those physically in City Council Chambers during the time the item is called. Public comment will then be opened up to those viewing the meeting via remote public participation options or listening in telephonically and will similarly be limited to three (3) minutes. Unless mandated by law, this remote participation is done as a courtesy only and is not guaranteed. The City reserves the right to terminate this medium at any time and for any reason.

6.3 Procedure. Upon addressing the City Council, each speaker may choose to state his or her name and city of residence and then identify the subject or subjects DocuSign Envelope ID: B60C4A40-6BF4-4CCC-8A64-ED22B36DBC88

CONSIDERATION OF AMENDING

GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT TO

THREE MINUTES PER SPEAKER AND

TO ALLOW A REMOTE PUBLIC

PARTICIPATION OPTION, AND

CONSIDER OTHER CHANGES TO

THE ORDER OF THE AGENDA

Summary
On May 27, 2025, Councilmember Keegan, with
the support of Councilmember Francois and
Mayor Saemann, requested:

To revert the general public comment period to three
minutes per speaker and to allow for virtual participation.

Background—Remote Participation
• August 10, 2021—City transitioned to a hybrid in-person and virtual format for its meetings and subsidiary boards and commissions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
• February 28, 2023—City terminated the local emergency, but continued to hold hybrid meetings, although no longer required by law.
• Currently—the City is not legally mandated to provide a a remote participation option to the public option unless a member of the City Council attends the meeting virtually under the remote participation rules of AB 2449 or under the traditional teleconferencing options.

Background—Remote Participation Cont.

Challenges:
• Zoom-Bombing—On September 26, 2023, the City was a
victim of a coordinated zoom-bombing attack during its
general public comment. Commenters made hateful,
bigoted, antisemitic, and sexist remarks, and the meeting had to be suspended temporarily.
• Zoom Crashes—Zoom regularly works, but has crashed
spontaneously in the past, which has prompted intermittent pauses during the meeting to troubleshoot.

Background—RES-24-7414
• Resolution No. RES-24-7414 was adopted by the City Council at its February 15, 2024, meeting. It sets the guidelines for the City Council agenda and its subsidiary boards and
commissions.
• General Public Comment Period—limited to 2 minutes per speaker for a total of 30 minutes.
• Second General Public Comment Period—is only available for those unable to provide general public comment during the first opportunity because the 30 minute time limit was
exhausted.

The Presiding Officer has the discretion to extend existing time limits.

Discussion
• Any changes made to RES-24-7414 would
immediately be implemented across all
subsidiary boards and commissions; and
• A resolution would be brought back to City
Council for formal adoption.

Discussion Continued
• Staff recommends City Council consider
making the following changes to the order of
the agenda:
o Move City Manager Report to #18 on the agenda
o Add Information Items to #20 on the agenda

Staff Proposal of Order of Agenda

Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends City Council:

1. Discuss time limits set for the general public
comment period;

2. Discuss expanding the general public
comment option to allow remote
participation; and

3. Approve the new order of the agenda.

Staff Report No. 25-CCO-033
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council

INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE UPDATING THE CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION LIMIT
(City Clerk Myra Maravilla)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council introduce by title only and waive first reading of an Ordinance updating the campaign contribution limit to five hundred dollars (Attachment 1).

Executive Summary:

At its July 22, 2025 meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Detoy, supported by Councilmembers Keegan and Francois, requested an action item to update the City’s established campaign contribution limit of $250 set under Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Section

2.08.020 (Attachment 2) to an amount that would not trigger the requirements of the Levine Act.

It was also requested that general information be presented about the Levine Act (Government Code Section 84308) and about the recent updates to its regulated contribution limit (Attachment 3).

Background:

The Levine Act, codified as Government Code Section 84308, prohibits an elected official from accepting, soliciting, or directing a contribution exceeding the regulated contribution limit from a party or participant (or their agents) while:

1. A proceeding involving a license, permit, or other entitlement for use, including most contracts, is pending before the agency; and

2. For 12 months after a decision is made.

When a campaign contribution exceeds the established regulated contribution limit, the elected official is subject to disclosure, recusal, and other requirements.

In 2024, the Levine Act underwent considerable updates that became effective January 1, 2025, with SB 1243 (Dodd) (Attachment 4) and SB 1181 (Glazer) (Attachment 5).

The changes to the Levine Act generally prohibit a party seeking a contract (other than competitively bid), license, permit, or other entitlements from making a contribution of

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3
more than $500 to an elected official in the preceding twelve months before an item is “pending” before the elected official. Prior to January 1, 2025, the regulated contribution limit was set to $250.

The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) published an Advice Letter (Attachment 6) on January 31, 2025, to clarify that an elected official is not subject to the Levine Act when a contribution is made of $500. The Levine Act would only be triggered should the contribution exceed five hundred dollars.

The City’s campaign contribution limit, codified as HBMC 2.08.020 is currently set at $250 and therefore did not previously not trigger the Levine Act:

A. No person shall make a contribution to any candidate for city elective office, nor shall any candidate for city elective office accept any contribution in aid of the election of a candidate to a city elective office which will cause the total given by such person with respect to a single election to exceed the sum of two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00). This section shall not apply to amounts given by a candidate to his or her own campaign.

B. Contributions by a husband and wife shall be treated as separate contributions and shall not be aggregated. Contributions by children under eighteen years of age shall be treated as contributions attributed equally to each parent or guardian.

Past Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
January 11, 2011 City Council introduced Ordinance ORD-11-1320 January 25, 2011 City Council adopted Ordinance ORD-11-1320, amending the campaign contributions to two hundred and fifty dollars.

Discussion:

The updated regulated contribution limit of $500 under the Levine Act provides the City Council the option to raise its contribution limit without triggering the disclosure and recusal requirements of the Levine Act.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

ORDINANCE NO. 25-

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 2.08.020 OF THE HERMOSA

BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION
LIMITATIONS; AND FINDING THE ACTION TO BE EXEMPT FROM CEQA

RECITALS
WHEREAS, California’s Political Reform Act of 1974 “pay to play” campaign contribution law commonly known as the Levine Act (codified in California Government Code section 84308) aims to ensure that elected officials are not biased by significant campaign contributions from contributors who might appear before them in a proceeding involving a license, permit, or entitlement for use (“Proceeding”); and WHEREAS, Section 84308(b) of the Levine Act prohibits an elected official from soliciting, directing, or accepting designated campaign contributions (“Contribution Threshold”) from a party, participant, or their agent while a Proceeding is pending before the elected official’s agency and for twelve (12) months thereafter; and WHEREAS, Section 84308(c) of the Levine Act requires the an elected official who has exceeded the Contribution Threshold in the preceeding twelve (12) months to disclose this fact on the record and recuse themselves from the Proceeding, and Section 84308(d) provides a mechanism for an elected official who receives an otherwise disqualifying contribution to cure the violation or still participate in the Proceeding depending on the circumstances; and
WHEREAS, California Senate Bills 1243 and 1181 amended the Levine Act (effective January 1, 2025) by (among other things) increasing the Contribution Threshold from two hundred fifty dollars ($250) to five hundred dollars ($500), and extending the period during which an elected official can return and cure a contribution exceeding the Contribution Threshold from fourteen (14) to thirty (30) days; and WHEREAS, the City of Hermosa Beach (“City”) City Council adopted Ordinance No. 11-1320 dated January 25, 2011, which set the Contribution Threshold at two hundred fifty dollars ($250), and such Contribution Threshold is reflected in the City’s Municipal Code (Section 2.08.020 to Chapter 2.08 of Title 2) (“Municipal Code”); and

WHEREAS, WHEREAS, the City Council desires to amend the Municipal Code to be consistent with the requirements under the Levine Act.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, California DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Recitals. The recitals above are true and correct, and are hereby incorporated herein by this reference.

SECTION 2. Amendment. Section 2.08.020 of Municipal Code is hereby amended to replace the phrase “two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00)” with the phrase “five hundred dollars ($500.00),” so that the section read in its entirely as follows:

2.08.020 Campaign Contribution Limitations.

A. No person shall make a contribution to any candidate for city elective office, nor shall any candidate for city elective office accept, any contribution in aid of the election of a candidate to a city elective office which will cause the total given by such person with respect to a single election to exceed the sum of five hundred ($500.00). This section shall not apply to amounts given by a candidate to his or her own campaign.

B. Contributions by a husband and wife shall be treated as separate contributions and shall not be aggregated. Contributions by children under eighteen (18) years of age shall be treated as contributions attributed equally to each parent or guardian.

SECTION 3. Severability. If any part of this ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Ordinance are severable.

SECTION 4. California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). The City Council finds that this Ordinance is not subject to CEQA pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines (Chapter 3 to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations) because

it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

SECTION 5. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall become effective and be in full force and effect from and after thirty (30) days of its final passage and adoption.

SECTION 5. Certification. The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this Ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City’s book of original ordinances; make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of this meeting; and, within fifteen (15) days after the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in accordance with California law.

(h)  (1)  A person is the “agent” of a party to, or a participant in, a pending proceeding involving a license, permit, or other entitlement for use only if the person represents that party or participant for compensation and appears before or otherwise communicates with an agency for the purpose of influencing the proceeding on behalf of a party or participant.
(2)  If an individual acting as an agent is also acting as an employee or member of a law, architectural, engineering, or consulting firm, or a similar entity or corporation, both the entity or corporation and the individual are “agents.” (3)  “Agent” includes a lobbyist registered to lobby the agency and who otherwise meets the requirements of paragraph (1).
(4)  “Communicate with the agency for the purpose of influencing the proceeding” does not include either of the following:
(A)  Preparing drawings or submissions of an architectural, engineering, or similar nature for a client to submit in a proceeding before the agency if both of the following conditions are met:
(i)  The work is performed pursuant to the person’s profession. (ii)  The person does not make any contact with the agency other than contact with agency staff concerning the process or evaluation of the documents prepared by the person.
(B)  Providing technical data or analysis to an agency if the person does not otherwise engage in direct communication for the purpose of influencing the proceeding.
(i)  (1)  Except as provided in paragraph (2), the provisions of this act are severable.

If any provision of this act or its application is held invalid, that invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application.
(2)  Subdivision (g) is not severable from paragraph (3) of subdivision (e) if paragraph (3) of subdivision (e) is held invalid in a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. If that occurs, subdivision (g) shall become inoperative on the date of that final decision.
(Amended by Stats. 2024, Ch. 1017, Sec. 1.5. (SB 1243) Effective January 1, 2025.)
