LOS ANGELES COUNTY FIRE SERVICES AND MCCORMICK AMBULANCE January - June 2025 SEMI-ANNUAL REVIEW
(Emergency Management Coordinator Maurice Wright)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council receive and file the 2025 Los Angeles County Fire Services and McCormick Ambulance reports for January through June 2025.

Executive Summary:

The 2025 semi-annual review of the fire and ambulance transport services provided by Los Angeles County Fire Department and McCormick Ambulance, respectively, provides an overview of service level provided from January through June 2025. Staff continues to monitor the service trends to ensure the highest level of services for our community.

Background:

On June 31, 2017, the City of Hermosa Beach transitioned fire and emergency transport services to Los Angeles County Fire Department and McCormick Ambulance.

At its February 11, 2020, meeting, City Council modified the frequency of reporting from quarterly to semi-annually, with the inclusion of the call transfer data in the monthly reports. Additionally, City Council requested monthly reports be placed onto the City Council agenda under consent calendar. On January 14, 2020, City Council agenda, the monthly reports began to appear. The enclosed semi-annual report reflects the services from January through June 2025.

Past Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
February 11, 2020 Council directed staff to provide the Fire and Ambulance services review semi-annually and to include call transfer data into the monthly report to be added to the consent calendar.

Analysis
Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD) Calls for Service The South Bay Regional Public Communications Authority, known as RCC, is the initial public-safety answering point (PSAP) for police and fire services within the City of Hermosa Beach. When RCC receives a call for service, the dispatcher collects critical data including name, phone number, address, and nature of the emergency. For police related incidents, RCC continues to gather additional information from the caller and dispatches police personnel as necessary. For fire related incidents, the critical data is collected, and the caller is transferred to the Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD) dispatch center. Once received, a LACoFD dispatcher gathers all information needed to dispatch fire and EMS personnel. The critical data is collected by RCC, as a safeguard, prior to transferring the call to LACoFD. Should the call be dropped during the transfer and/or there is a change in the status of the patient calling for assistance, RCC can try to reconnect with the caller and relay the information to LACoFD, who can dispatch resources based on the information gathered. Total call time begins when the call is initiated with RCC to the arrival of units on scene.

From January through June 2025, RCC transferred 416 calls for service to LACoFD dispatch with an average transfer time of 59 seconds. Attachment 1 provides the RCC call transfer time data for January through June 2025.

Table 1 below shows that from January through June 2025, Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to 977 calls for service with an average response time of 4 minutes and 41 seconds. Los Angeles County Fire Department defines average response time as the time that the first-arriving units, which excludes the Lifeguard units, are enroute and arrive at each incident and includes emergency and non-emergency calls.

The time necessary to dispatch and the time necessary for the crews to leave the station are not included in the average response time data.

From January through June 2025, Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to 576 medical calls for service with an average response time of 4 minutes and 46 seconds.

This data does not include other types of calls. Attachments 2 provide average response times by incident type from January through June 2025.

Automatic Aid
Automatic aid is a critical partnership between Los Angeles County Fire Department and the Area G jurisdictions of El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, and Torrance.

From January through June 2025, Los Angeles County Fire Department responded 8 times to surrounding jurisdictions to provide automatic aid, while LACoFD received aid 44 times. Attachment 3 illustrates auto aid responses provided by both the fire district (Los Angeles County Fire Department) and Area G cities (El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, and Torrance Fire Departments) from January through June 2025.

Special Events
During the reporting period, Fire Station 100 facilitated educational and community outreach initiatives, including the provision of station tours and visits for students from Leadership Hermosa, as well as students from the South Bay region. The crews also participated in community event activities such as Fiesta Hermosa.

McCormick Ambulance

Total 441 223
In addition to providing basic transport data, recent monthly reports have discussed call arrival delays. From January through June 2025, the report indicated that 13 calls resulted in delayed Code 3 responses. A Code 3 response is one where the responding emergency units are driving with lights and sirens to a presumed life-threatening emergency, which is typically classified as an ALS call. According to the McCormick

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 5
Ambulance contract, “response time must not exceed eight (8) minutes, fifty-nine (59) seconds” for a Code 3 incident.

There were 2 delayed Code 2 responses from January through June 2025. A Code 2 response is one where the responding emergency units are driving with lights and sirens to an emergency classified as a basic life support or BLS call. According to the McCormick Ambulance contract, “response time must not exceed fifteen (15) minutes, zero (0) seconds” for a Code 2 incident.

As discussed in the monthly reports, delay causes include distance from the dispatched location; multiple calls received at the same time; or extended wait times at the local hospital emergency departments. McCormick Ambulance is working with stakeholders from the hospitals and Los Angeles County Emergency Medical Services Agency (EMS) to develop solutions to decrease patient transfer of care times and ensure ambulance personnel have returned to the field to respond to the next call for service.

While arrival delays for patient transport are a customer service issue that needs to be mitigated, from a critical patient care standpoint, Los Angeles County Fire Department is providing care to patients and ensuring life saving measures are provided in a quick and efficient manner while McCormick is enroute to the patient’s location.

Fiscal Impact:

Fire and ambulance services are contracted and accounted for during the annual budget process.

Sounds like a useful program to help continue drive tourism to Hermosa. Allocating 20% of the budget to Administration seems high, but perhaps this is a function of the total budget being relatively small? One comparison I found is Torrance which looks lower (17%) but in the same range.

In reviewing the Plan, two lodging businesses are missing from the list in Appendix 2 - The Vurpillat & the ITH Hostel - although both seem to fit the criteria described on Page 6 of the Plan.

Mayor and Council,
Do not rubber stamp this TID without serious consideration. The reality is that when the city serves as an intermediary, you have a fiduciary responsibility.

When did that public conversation take place, or was that decision held behind closed doors. The public deserves an answer. It is also curious that the staff is recommending this prior to any council discussion. This infers that indeed, the staff has already made a decision to sole source this to the chamber without a competitive bidding process.

That is a problem.

Any time public funds are being expended, it should go out to bid. It should NEVER be handed over to an entity without an RFP process. That should include a listing of qualifications and the track record of financial viability, among other qualifications. The Chamber of Commerce can submit a proposal, as can any other qualified entity. Sole sourcing is irresponsible and unwise.

While the hotels may not realize this matters, councilmembers have a duty to ensure fairness and responsibility.

Nobody who understands economics raises prices in a declining economy. In the citys latest budget, it was noted that hotel occupancy dropped sharply, to 69% from 74%. For reference, in the 2019/2020 adopted budget, occupancy was 80% (first 7 months of the year). This is a hugely significant decline, something that should concern everyone. Maybe this is why all of the hotels did NOT sign on.

Where was the thoughtful consideration regarding the budget? Any sensible business would establish a budget first. Instead, the thinking was, what is the maximum amount of money we can get, then lets spend it all. This is irresponsible and a thoughtless approach. While the hotels and chamber may think this is okay, you need to be the adult in the room and force logic into this discussion. Perhaps all that is truly needed to run an effective campaign is ½%.

Is the chamber really in the position to administer these funds? Do they have a proven track record of performance? The chamber president came to this city council in late January and told the council there was not enough money to fund the parade and that they had not even begun to work on it, thereby jeopardizing the parade and putting the council in a very uncomfortable situation. That indicates a fairly significant level of disorganization on their part. If they cannot run a parade, why would anyone think they are suited to run a TID? The next logical question you should ask is what is the financial viability of the chamber if they didnt have enough money 7 months ago? The chamber should submit audited financials and also provide current financials with a year end forecast. If they want to play in the big leagues and get involved with this sum of money, they need to prove they are capable.

What is even more disturbing is that per the plan the Chamber of Commerce Tourism Committee will implement and oversee the TID. There is no way to control who these people are going to be, what their experience level is, and how they will implement controls to ensure the money is spent wisely and not just handed over to friends and family who happen to be social media consultants. The potential for conflict of interest and mismanagement is strikingly high in this type of situation and should not be permitted. Again - going back to the point that this needs to go to RFP so the council can gauge who is best suited to run the TID.

It is unfair to force all hotels into this tax increase to their clientele. In a town of our size there should be 100% consent or it should be an opt-in.

Also, someone needs to find out why many of the hotels did not consent. Perhaps it is for the reasons I listed above.

Please, be good stewards of dollars entrusted to you and ensure this is halted until this is handled appropriately and you confirm that at least 80% of the hotels are willing to sign on. Also please find out what happened in closed doors with staff and the chamber.

Dear Mayor, Council Members, and Staff - I understand the need to update fines after many years, but I recommend caution on the size of the proposed increases. Research from Donald Shoup (The High Cost of Free Parking) shows that large fine hikes rarely improve compliance. What works is setting meter rates so one or two spaces are always available per block (about 85% occupancy). It would be helpful if the public understood the seasonal occupancy rates.

The proposed $75 expired meter fine is among the highest in the region and equals more than a full days worth of meter payments. This could discourage visitors and hurt small businesses, especially in the off season when discretionary trips are more fragile and our city is competing with neighboring cities for dining, shopping, and beach visits.

A more balanced approach would be to raise expired meter fines and street sweeping moderately and less punitively. Safety sensitive violations (fire hydrants, ADA spaces) should remain high. Pairing moderate fines with smart meter pricing and visible reinvestment into sidewalks, crosswalks, and beach access would improve the visitor experience and help attract people here year round.

We should focus on compliance and visitor attraction, not punitive revenue. Thoughtful, moderate changes will protect our budget while supporting local businesses and keeping our city welcoming in every season.

I appreciate your thoughtful consideration.

PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE CLOSED

SESSION AGENDA
Anthony
Higgins
Ref: Closed Session Item 4d... BBK Law City Attorney Performance Review.

Dear City Council.

During August 13, 2024 City Council meeting BBK Law City Attorney Michael Donegan allowed former City Manager Suja Lowenthal to stop a Public Participant mid-sentence and and issue an illegal edict.

Suja said:
any reference to City Staff and Staff Performance is actually inappropriate, so I am hoping that you can direct the speaker to refrain from doing so.

Instead of stopping this this in its tracks, BBK City Attorney Donegan allowed Mayor Francois to put the city at risk of lawsuit by allowing him to stop the clock to give this illegal direction to the speaker.

BBK law essentially provided cover for the City Manager's illegal edict and our City Attorney never publicly corrected this.

It's been many years since the City's legal services have been put out to competitive bid. I think that time has come.

The Law is also very clear on this point:

Public comments that are critical of officials, STAFF, public policies, procedures, programs or services must be allowed, even if offensive, unless the speaker is, through their conduct, creating an actual disturbance of the meeting.

Although some comments may become personal, the speaker has a protected right to provide them during their public comment. What is not protected, for example, is any type of threats or fighting words.

The agency has a legitimate interest in conducting efficient, orderly business meetings.

Public comment is protected speech unless the speaker's behavior actually disrupts, impedes or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting.

I realize the City Attorney will tell you his first responsibility is to protect the City and Staff from lawsuits; but not by running roughshod over your constituents Public Participation rights.

Thank You for Considering,
tony higgins

In the 9/9/25 CCM Staff Report for this Item (17b) - Staff seems to be trying to open the doors for the Council and the Commissions to operate under different sets of Public Participation Rules. https://pub-hermosabeach.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=18001 I hope im wrong.

On December 12, 2023 the City Council adopted new restrictive Public Participation Rules.

At that time the Council made it absolutely clear that the Commissions must operate under the same public participation rules as the City Council for the sake of consistency.

My hope is that the Council's guidance will be that all Commissions must operate under the same or possibly less restrictive rules as the City Council related to speaker time, remote participation and visual aids.

Thank You for Considering.

Do the informal survey data in the Staff Report include or exclude county & state surcharge amounts? Being unable to tell, I focused only on the proposed increases in the "City Penalty" portions of parking violations.

Given it has been 20 years since the last increase, it is fair to raise the city penalty portions. Relative to inflation since 2005, the proposed increases to the city penalty portion of the two most commonly issued violations seem fair as well - Street Sweeping is about equal to inflation (inflation $42 vs proposed $42.50) and Expired Meter is a few dollars less (inflation $67 vs proposed $62.50). I used the inflation calculator at usinflationcalculator.com for this analysis.

I did notice that for the majority of violation types with current city penalty of $35.50, the proposed increase is ~$3.50 more than inflation would otherwise indicate. If there is a realistic risk that the state or country surcharges will be increased in the near future, we should consider making the proposed city penalty portion of these violations more closely match inflation. Also there is no proposed increase to the city penalty portion of the more expensive violations (e.g. Blocking Wheelchair Access). If we are increasing bail schedule amounts mostly because we just havent done so for some time, then shouldnt these other violations should be increased for consistency of that rationale? For

Generally speaking, I am in favor of establishing a TID for Hermosa Beach - seems like an interesting idea to me to drive more awareness about our city and our hotel accommodations. But take this with a grain of salt as I'm certainly not an expert in how a TID functions, how to make a TID effective, or how to establish the right budget, marketing plan, and management.

My position is rooted in the fact that I like just about any well-designed program that will drive more tourism to Hb and help not only our local hotels, but all of our local businesses. In this case, it is really our hotels that will determine if this is the optimal approach, and the cost is paid for by the very hotels that would (in theory) directly benefit, by way of a modest tax to their customers.

Having said that, I'm not 100% convinced that the City is ready to declare its unwavering intent quite yet, and that is because I'm still not clear on the nuts and bolts here. For example, is the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau (HBCCVB) the correct Owner's Association to manage the TID? Maybe and maybe not - we need to know who all of those people will be and what their specific qualifications are to effectively manage this effort. And it is my understanding that the threshold for buy-in by the hotels is currently 50% in order to push this through....I'm not sure that's high enough, as this leaves room for bigger hotels to potentially have more of a say and force the hands of others who may not want to support this but would be forced to do so.

I could go on about my concerns, but suffice it to say that I like the general concept, but perhaps better definition is needed and better vetting of the proposed management/design is warranted before a final decision by City Council can be made.

As the General Manager of Sea Sprite Hotel in Hermosa Beach for the last 5 years, I support the creation of a Tourism Improvement District because it provides a reliable and dedicated funding source for marketing, events, and tourism initiatives that directly benefit our hotels and community. A well-designed TID program has the power to drive more awareness of Hermosa Beach and our accommodations, while also uplifting the entire local economy.

At Sea Sprite Hotel, located directly on The Strand, our success is deeply connected to the vibrancy of our community and the strength of local tourism. Increased foot traffic and overnight stays are criticalnot only to sustaining our hotel, but also to supporting restaurants, shops, bars, and entertainment venues throughout Hermosa. When guests choose to stay overnight, they engage with our neighborhood in meaningful ways, strengthening local businesses, creating jobs, and reinforcing Hermosas reputation as a destination worth returning to.

The cost of this program is modest, passed on through a small assessment on hotel guests, and the benefits flow directly back to the hotels and businesses that make Hermosa unique. For this reason, I am in favor of establishing a Tourism Improvement District hereit is a smart, collaborative investment in the future of our city, our hotels, and our community.

Aloha there City Staff and City Council. We live in a wonderful beach city in the Great City of Los Angeles that is equally captivating. Because we are one of 88 incorporated cities (and many more unincorporated towns) with many different diverse cultures, attractions and characters it is easy for the average visitor to miss Hermosa Beach while they are visiting Los Angeles. In fact, because we are farther away from major freeways (roughly 14 - 20 minutes to the 405) and most of them land in Manhattan Beach we loose the draw for folks to come all this way. In the past we relied on our beach sand to attract those that would venture out all this way. But today we live in a world where everyone is virtually marketing for the attention of a visitor to stop and stay in their community. Marketing costs. It has been said by many various council members that the City does not have the dollars to promote this City.

By supporting the formation of a TID that can change. A TID has the power to directly impact the marketing of, and attraction of Hermosa Beach on a U.S. and in the near future global level. It has the ability to connect with a family in Arizona thinking of where to escape the summer heat from a single digital advertisement promoting a recently built hotel or their freshly renovated hotel neighbors just down the Strand. And that marketing costs, most hotels do not always have the capacity nor the budget to market in that way all the time. And if they do they are typically marketing their own destinations. A TID brings together a destination, highlights all the places to stay and enjoy. It creates a community destination.

Over the next few years we have the World Cup, Olympics and on a global level the talented Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto baseball players that will and are driving the tourists markets to Los Angeles. Let's stop waiting around for visitors to just accidentally discover Hermosa. Let us go after them and bring them to us. For

The vast majority of Hermosa Beach businesses havent seen a dime of profit from the Chambers work in the last 5 years. What we have seen is mismanaged funds, tone-deaf leadership priorities, and a nonstop parade of self-promotion by self-serving individuals. Until accountability and real value are delivered, throwing more money at this Chamber is a recipe for disaster. Hermosa needs leadership that understands their fiduciary duties.

Dear Mayor Seamann and Council members,
I am writing to express my strong support for the formation of a Tourism Improvement District (TID) in our city. This is a long-awaited opportunity to finally establish a dedicated visitors and tourism bureausomething many of us have been working toward for well over a decade. Having served on and off the Chamber Board for the past 14 years, I know firsthand how much effort has gone into making this vision a reality.

The benefits of a TID are clear and far-reaching. Our Chamber Board recently voted unanimously to pursue this opportunity. Thats fifteen dedicated members of this communityvolunteers, just like youwho are committed to making our little beach town the very best it can be. We represent local businesses and residents who want to see our community thrive by welcoming visitors in a way that is sustainable, business-friendly, and beneficial to everyone.

A TID will allow us to:

Create a consistent, well-funded tourism marketing program.

Attract more overnight visitors who support our hotels, restaurants, shops, and services.

Put our town on the map in a competitive tourism market.

Leverage upcoming global eventssuch as the World Cup at SoFi Stadium in 2026 and the 2028 Olympics in Los Angelesto showcase our unique coastal community.

These opportunities are too important to miss. A TID ensures that we have the tools, structure, and resources to capitalize on them while preserving and highlighting the charm of our beach town.

We are a community of small businesses and volunteers working side by side with you to strengthen our local economy, support our residents, and celebrate the place we are proud to call home. I urge you to vote in favor of the Tourism Improvement District and help us move this important initiative forward.

Thank you for your time and your continued commitment to our city.

Sincerely,
Kathy Knoll. Uncorked

Greetings Esteemed Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, and Councilmembers, As a proud resident of Hermosa Beach, I am writing to express my strong support for the establishment of the Hermosa Beach Tourism Investment District (HBTID).

A visitor-funded initiative aimed at boosting overnight stays is crucial for the future of Hermosa Beach. Increased tourism will lead to a more dynamic local economy, heightened visibility for our city, enhanced year-round local business activity, and improved community engagement for everyone.

I am pleased to know that the funding for this initiative will come from hotel guests, rather than from taxpayers or local businesses, and that it will be managed with a commitment to transparency and accountability. With significant global events, such as the 2026 World Cup and the 2028 Olympics, approaching, now is the opportune moment to invest in Hermosa Beach's long-term success as a travel destination. These events present unique opportunities that we should leverage to attract international visitors and gain media attention.

Key Details about HBTID:

Who contributes? Visitors will pay a 2% assessment on room rates for stays shorter than 30 days, not the hotels themselves.

Estimated Revenue: Projected to raise around $727,500 annually, exclusively for the marketing of Hermosa Beach and the enhancement of the visitor experience.

Management: The program will be overseen by the HB Chamber & Visitors Bureau Tourism Committee, which includes hotel representatives, with city oversight and annual reporting.

Duration: An initial term of five years, with the possibility of renewal based on its effectiveness.

How the Funds Will be Used:

Marketing & Sales (approximately 71% of the budget): This includes internet, print, TV, and radio advertising, social media engagement, Truly Hermosa magazine, trade shows, public relations, event promotions, lead generation, and more.

Destination Improvements: Funds will also be allocated for beautification, lighting, and enhancements to improve the overall visitor experience.

Administration & Reserve: This encompasses oversight, accountability measures, contingency funds, and city collection fees.

Why the HBTID is important:

The HBTID will establish a sustainable funding stream, paid for by visitors, that will:

Promote Hermosa Beach as an overnight destination.

Attract high-value visitors who stay longer and frequent our local businesses.

Support our local economy.

Beautify our city.

Increase our visibility leading up to major global events such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Summer Olympics.

Currently, the City allocates no budget for tourism marketing. Without this initiative, Hermosa Beach risks lagging behind neighboring cities that already have established Tourism Investment Districts, of which more than 100 exist across California, including Santa Monica, West Hollywood, and San Diego.

Thank you for considering this important opportunity to advance our community For

I am writing in support of the creation of a Tourism Improvement District (TID) in Hermosa Beach. A TID in Hermosa Beach would provide stable, dedicated funding to boost tourism marketing, attract overnight visitors, and support events that benefit the local economy. Funded by lodging businesses, the TID would be overseen by a dedicated committee of local stakeholders, ensuring transparency, accountability, and alignment with community priorities. This locally driven approach helps Hermosa Beach compete with nearby coastal destinations while preserving public resources. Thank you for your consideration and support.

For the first time in 7 years i believe the City is on a right track but doesn't mean all is well on the home front; especially related to Public Participation where the jury is still out.

For years our previous City Manager and a Council led by former Councilman Massey preached that Remote Public Participation, especially on non-agenda items, was inherently dangerous and therefore needed to be constrained.

This view was also strongly supported by Councilman Jackson.

They emphasized fear...Fear that Council and Commissions would be overwhelmed by malevolent callers that would prevent the city from efficiently handling it's business and cause meetings to run into the wee hours of the night.

Most knew this was a ruse and that Lowenthal, Massey, Jackson & Detoy were simply using September 2023 Zoom Bomb incident to manufacture a crisis so they could further restrict public participation, control the narrative and implement their vision of what was best for the city while minimizing or eliminating the opportunity for the public to express dissenting views.

Here you need to look no further than the Sales Tax Ballot initiative or the Civiic Facilities Community Engagement process to understand how this worked 1) The sales tax ballot initiative failed to present an honest assessment of the pros & cons while insisting that obviously slanted promotional material was in fact educational material. 2) Using a similar tactic, the Civic Facilities Community Engagement Process the City Manager led the public by the nose towards her preferred solution; Option 2, a brand new showcase city hall funded using city property for a new downtown hotel.

These manipulations led to a significant loss of public trust in the City's Community Engagement Processes.

That said, my interest in Public Participation is simple:

A. The Public be allowed to participate remotely for 3 minutes during GENERAL PARTICIPATION in ALL Council and Commission meetings, AND
-
Unreasonable overblown fears are NOT used to restrict the public from using visual aids in any Council and Planning, Parks or Public Works COMMISSION meeting. i don't think it's a stretch to say that without significant changes to Community Engagement and a commitment to giving the public every reasonable opportunity to voice their concerns and influence policy the city will never be trusted with a sales tax increase or nor will voters pass a bond for needed Civic Facilities improvements
Please consider this:

The sky will not fall if the public is allowed to use visual aids to support their arguments on agenda and non agenda items. Rather than default to restrictive processes that assume the worst outcomes; provide some simple clear & consistent guidelines and make changes as the needs arise.

There are a few simple ground rules that need to be followed:

1. Although some comments may become personal, the speaker has a protected right to provide them during their public comment. What is not protected is any type of threats or fighting words.

2. The definition of fighting words is simple. Its words meant to incite IMMEDIATE violence. Its almost impossible to do that over the phone.

3. It really doesn't matter whether the participant makes his/her points in person, remotely or on the big screen in the Council chambers; the same rules of conduct should apply.

4. The agency has a legitimate interest in conducting efficient, orderly business meetings and this must be respected by the public.

5. Public comment is protected speech unless the speaker's behavior actually disrupts, impedes or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting.

The Councilmen, Commissioners and staff should be able to follow these basic guidelines and the City can make corrections as it goes.

Finally in the interest eliminating half-truths; the city should correct the Council & Commission agendas to inform the public that (1) the Brown act does in fact allow the council to briefly answer questions posed by the public during public participation, (2) it does allow the council or commission members to ask on the spot brief clarifying questions of the public participant and (3) it does allow council members to briefly comment on what the public participant said.

We will never get the best Community Engagement if we are afraid of making a few mistakes.

We can correct these as we go.

Thank You for Considering tony higgins

I fully support the extension of the Citys Short Term Vacation Rental program.

The Coastal Commission has stated that they oppose blanket vacation rental bans but in their 2016 memo to Community Development Directors they state, in situations where a community already provides an ample supply of vacation rentals and where further proliferation of vacation rentals would impair community character or other coastal resources, restrictions may be appropriate.

Hermosa Beachs STVR program provides reasonable and balanced regulations that protect the residentially zoned areas of our City from the problems inherent with STVRs without completely banning short term vacation rentals.

Hermosa Beach has many hotels in and out of the Coastal Zone. By my estimation we have nearly 200 rooms in the coastal zone plus the Beach Surf Hostel which offers a low-cost option to visitors. I believe that with the 20+ rooms that have been added to the vacation rental market as a result of the Citys program, we are providing adequate accommodations for visitors.

Please vote to extend the Short Term Vacation Rental program. https://documents.coastal.ca.gov/assets/la/Short_Term_Vacation_Rental_to_Coastal_Planning_&_Devt_Directors_120616.pdf For

Dear Mayor and Councilmembers,
As a lifetime resident of Hermosa Beach (Lenny), and together as local business owners and active members of the Chamber of Commerce, we wholeheartedly support the formation of the Hermosa Beach Tourism Investment District (HBTID).

Hermosa is more than where we workits our home. Weve raised our family here, built our business here, and are deeply invested in its future. A dedicated, visitor-funded program to promote overnight stays will strengthen our local economy, support small businesses, and showcase the community we love to the world.

We appreciate that this initiative is funded by hotel guestsnot our residents or local businessesand that it will be managed with transparency. With global events like the World Cup and Olympics approaching, now is the time to ensure Hermosa shines on the international stage.

Thank you for considering this important step for the future of our city.

Sincerely,
Lenny & Teodora LaRocca

Tony Cordi
Mayor and council members,
There have been several exciting changes in Hermosa over the past few years and, perhaps not surprisingly, there are both enthusiastic supporters and frustrated detractors. We have seen the addition of a number of Michelin-mentioned restaurants, including a Bib Gourmand winner, as well as the sale of the B of A and the Strand & Pier properties. These two property sales and their pending redevelopment will have a profound impact on the business landscape downtown. The formation of the TID will further build on all of these significant enhancements to the city.

One of the primary objectives of the TID would be to increase the annual average occupancy rates for the hotels citywide. At 70% average occupancy, there are about 57,000 vacant hotel room nights a year. Two things will happen when the TID is successful: the occupancy rates will increase as will the average nightly room rates. The benefit to the city of full occupancy at the current average room rates would be an additional $1.5 M of TOT income.

There are economic development advantages as well. Most local businesses have seen steady or slight revenue declines at a time when all of their expenses continue to increase. There is only so much that the city can do to help with this other than to support any and all efforts to increase the number of visitors to Hermosa. The foot traffic data that we have seen shows a very impressive total of 1.2 million unique visitors to downtown Hermosa annually; however, well over 600,000 only come for one day. The TID would be able to bring in even more visitors while also reducing the number of one-day visitors. Not only would the TOT income to the city increase, but so too would the sales tax income.

Please consider the benefits to the city and the businesses with the formation of the TID.

Respectfully,
Tony Cordi

I fully support the establishment of the Tourism Investment District (TID) in Hermosa Beach. Since 2018, I have served as both General Manager and Director of Sales at Hotel Hermosa. In prior years, I have observed firsthand the positive impact similar TIDs have had in other Los Angeles communities.

Marketing Hermosa Beach as a destination will directly benefit our local hotels through increased average daily rates, extended lengths of stay, and overall revenue growth. Additionally, the TID will generate greater foot traffic and increase tax revenue to the city.

Hotel Hermosas occupancy is heavily influenced by weather and local beach events. A dedicated marketing strategyfunded through the TIDwill help create consistent demand within Hermosa Beach itself, reducing reliance on external factors and limiting the loss of market share to neighboring cities.

Importantly, the TID fee does not impact hotel profitability or increase taxes for residents. This nominal fee is collected from hotel guests and reinvested into promoting Hermosa Beach.

Oversight of the TID will be managed by a committee of local stakeholders, ensuring transparency and alignment with the communitys goals. The City will also have visibility into how funds are allocated, creating a collaborative and accountable framework that benefits all.

As President of the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau, I strongly support the creation of a Tourism Improvement District (TID).

Hermosa Beach has a once-in-a-generation opportunity ahead - with the 2028 Olympics and FIFA World Cup drawing global attention to Southern California. We need to ensure our city is prepared to compete and shine. A TID provides the dedicated funding and structure to promote Hermosa as a destination, drive tourism, and support our local economy - not just during major events, but year-round.

Importantly, this is not a tax on residents. Its a small fee paid only by hotel guests - visitors who benefit from our beaches, culture, and hospitality.

TIDs are a proven model, already used successfully in neighboring cities like Redondo Beach, which operates its own tourism marketing district to support destination promotion and attract overnight visitors.

With a TID, Hermosa can launch targeted marketing campaigns, partner with regional tourism leaders, and highlight our local businesses, hotels, and lifestyle.

Lets not let this opportunity pass us by.

Dear Honorable Mayor Saemann and City Council,
The so-called letters of support for this tax dont come from hotel owners. They come from Chamber Board Members at the request of Jessica Accamando, the architect of this scheme, just as she was behind the failed sales tax initiative.

Do we really believe Hermosas hotel owners want to pay $4 million in new taxes over the next five years and then hand it all to the Chamber to spend? Of course not.

These letters from Board Members Dave Davis, Andrea Giancoli, Kathy Knoll, Andrew Gauden, Lenny LaRocca, Tony Cordi, and Marina Boulanger are nothing more than an attempt to force nine Hermosa hotels to hand $3.7 million to them to manage. Its a self-interested shakedown, plain and simple.

The truth is, the Chamber has been gutted by years of self-dealing, financial excess, and mismanagement. Its now running entirely on reserves that took decades to build. Dont be fooled: these Chamber Board Members cant even manage their own financial affairs, let alone a $4 million HBTID.

Unless all nine hotels step forward and publicly ask for this tax, this proposal should be rejected outright. Tell the Chamber and its Consultant to take a hike.

Follow the Money.

Noted herein this Agenda is the excellent improvement with the clear labeling of the STAFF report and Attachments of each Item in this Council meeting Agenda. This follows the Parks & Recreation Department having first led the way with their clear labeling of each of the Parks & Rec Commission Agenda-Items STAFF report and ATTACHMENTS.

It would be a additionally good if the Public Works Department, and the Community Development Department now also followed suit with their PW Commission and Planning Commission meeting Agendas to aid all concerned with consistency of agendas; that is with the clear labeling each of their Agenda-Items STAFF report and ATTACHMENTS as accomplished in this 9/9/25 Council Meeting Agenda.

Dear Mayor, Council Members, and Staff - I support our hospitality businesses creating a Tourism Improvement District (TID) to increase the demand for overnight tourism in our City. I want to offer some constructive feedback and recommendations to help ensure the TID is both effective and sustainable.

1. Tourism Committee Governance: I believe it would be helpful to clarify how the committee will be structured.

Recommendations: At least 2/3 of the committee seats held by assessed businesses. Defining the eligibility criteria for other members such as a skill based matrix on size, location, type (chain or boutique), digital advertising experience, event management, etc. Add a City Liaison as an advisory (non-voting) role to improve communication.

2. Budget - Protecting Marketing Funds: As worded, the City and the HBCCVB shall have the authority to dilute core marketing funds into overhead by no more than 15% of the total budget per year. I agree with this assessment since funds should be primarily used for marketing and activity improvements.

Recommendations: Providing reasonable language safeguarding these intentions would be helpful since this will preserve the TIDs primary purpose while still allowing operational flexibility.

3. Clearer Language: Proposition 26 requires funds be spent on a "specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payor." Language such as "visitor experience improvements" is subjective and could be challenged. For example, if funds are spent on improved lighting in the Plaza, how does that directly benefit the hotels? Otherwise, it could be argued as a general community benefit if not tightly tied to the hotel areas.

Recommendation: Clarify the phrase visitor experience improvements, so it will be less likely challenged under Proposition 26. Specifying measurable outcomes with beautification and improvements directly adjacent to the hotel or visitor corridors.

4. Renewal & ROI Metrics: "The proposed HBTID will have a five year life...After five years, the HBTID may be renewed for up to 10 years." The renewal criteria are undefined.

Recommendation: Clearly define ROI metrics (ADR, occupancy rates, etc) included in the annual reports. The renewal should be tied to clear performance benchmarks.

5. Legal Risk Funds: "In the event of a legal challenge against the HBTID, any and all assessment funds may be used for the costs of defending the HBTID." This could drain marketing funds into litigation, undermining benefits to the hotels. Plus, there is no cap or limits.

Recommendation: Cap at 5% of annual budget for legal defense, with City sharing costs above that amount.

I believe our City should support efforts by our hotels to organize and develop a strong marketing and advertising arm around a Tourism Improvement District (TID). If it is their collective belief, this is the best method to do, we should not stand in their way.

A Tourism Improvement District is not just an investment in our hotels, its an investment in our entire city. By giving our hotel partners the dedicated tools to market our City, attract new visitors, and increase overnight stays, we secure sustainable revenue that supports us especially in the off season while strengthening our community identity. The hotels are stepping up to lead and self fund this effort, and the benefits will ripple across restaurants, shops, and residents alike. Supporting the creation of a TID is supporting our Citys future vibrancy and economic resilience.

As always, I appreciate your thoughtful consideration.

Dear City Council,
The staff report says:

In determining the market rate of parking citation penalties, staff conducted an informal survey of local cities that issue parking citations and found that the City's existing fine of $38 for street sweeping and an AVERAGE of $48 for all citations were low compared to other cities.

The problem is the table below says nothing specifically about the NEW HERMOSA AVERAGE fines nor the average fines for cities.

Unless the city can better answer the four questions below it would be irresponsible to proceed:
1) The NEW Hermosa average fine,
2) The percent increase of that NEW average fine and,
3) Data comparing Hermosa's NEW average fine to the average fine of the other cities listed in the table above.

Anthony Higgins PDF Attachment
for item 17.d

4) A clearer definition of the distribution (%) identifying who will pay these new fines, i.e. residents vs businesses vs visitors.

Thank You for considering.

BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION
LIMITATIONS; AND FINDING THE ACTION TO BE EXEMPT FROM CEQA 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 preceding 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, the City Council desires to amend the Municipal Code to be consistent with the requirements under the Levine Act.

Staff Report No. 25-CDD-119
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 17.42.180.D OF THE HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE, ZONE TEXT AMENDMENT (TA 25-02), TO

EXTEND THE SHORT-TERM VACATION RENTAL PROGRAM FOR AN ADDITIONAL TWO YEARS UNTIL OCTOBER 25, 2027
CEQA: Determine the Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. (Community Development Director Alison Becker)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Conduct a public hearing to consider amending Section 17.42.180.D of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code, extending the short-term vacation rental program for an additional two years until October 25, 2027; and

2. Introduce by title only and waive first reading of an Ordinance approving Zone Text Amendment (TA 25-02) (Attachment 1).

Executive Summary:

The City updated and extended the Short-Term Vacation Rental Pilot Program on September 26, 2023, which is set to expire on October 24, 2025. Staff has prepared an ordinance to extend the program another two years without any additional change to the regulations.

Background:

A Short-Term Vacation Rental (STVR) is the rental of a dwelling unit, or a portion of 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 accommodation for a period of less than 30 consecutive days.

At its May 24, 2016 meeting, City Council adopted Ordinance 16-1365 amending Sections

17.08.015, 17.10.015, 17.12.015, 17.14.015, 17.16.015, 17.18.025, 17.20.015, and

17.42.180 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) to expressly prohibit the leasing or advertising of a rental unit for less than 30 days in all residential zones.

At its October 10, 2019 meeting, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 19-1395, instituting a two-year pilot program to allow STVRs in most commercial zones with nonconforming

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 5
residential uses. The pilot program, known as the Short-Term Vacation Rental Pilot Program, was implemented to investigate the benefits of allowing rentals less than 30 days in the City’s commercial zones. The pilot program maintained existing regulations prohibiting the advertisement of STVRs not permitted through the pilot program.

At its December 14, 2021 meeting, City Council adopted Ordinance 21-1440 to extend the pilot program an additional two years, with revisions to clarify existing requirements.

Revisions included adding referenced municipal code sections and title and updating formatting to make it easier to read. The ordinance established a new expiration date of October 24, 2023.

At its September 26, 2023 meeting, City Council adopted Ordinance 23-1468 to extend the pilot program another two years and further clarify permitting requirements.

At its December 12, 2023 meeting, the City Council adopted Ordinance 24-1473 approving minor text changes to clarify the City’s regulation of advertisements for STVRs in all zones.

Past Board, Commission, and Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
March 2016 Planning Commission directed staff to 1) set a public hearing to consider a text amendment to clarify the existing regulations that prohibited short-term vacation rentals in residential zones; and 2) analyze the feasibility of allowing short-term vacation rentals within nonconforming residential units within commercially zoned properties.

May 24, 2016 After several Planning Commission and City Council public hearings to consider the ban on short-term vacation rentals in residential zones, the City Council adopted Ordinance 16-1365, which clarified the existing City regulations that prohibited shortterm vacation rentals in all residential zones.

June 21, 2016 Staff introduced the potential for allowing short-term vacation rentals within nonconforming residential uses in commercial zones to the Planning Commission.

September 20, 2016 The Planning Commission received an informational update on staff efforts to explore allowing short-term vacation rentals in commercial zones. Staff discussed other jurisdictions’ criteria.

November 15, 2016 Based on recommendations from the Planning Commission at the September 20, 2016 meeting, staff prepared a draft set of criteria that would be the basis for a draft ordinance and presented them to the Planning Commission.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 5
Meeting Date Description
December 12, 2016 The Planning Commission conducted its final public hearing on the text amendment. After considering all the oral and written testimony provided to them over the four meetings, the Planning Commission voted 3-2 not to adopt the resolution
recommending the City Council adopt a text amendment to regulate short-term vacation rentals in existing nonconforming residential units located in commercial zoning districts.

March 28, 2017 The City Council conducted a public hearing to consider a text amendment to the municipal code to establish a two-year pilot program to allow short-term vacation rentals in nonconforming residential dwelling units on properties that are commercially zoned. At the conclusion of the hearing, the City Council provided staff with direction for the ordinance.

September 10, 2019 At the City Council meeting, staff presented the draft ordinance for Council consideration. Following the public hearing, the City Council introduced the ordinance, on a 4-1 vote with Mayor Armato dissenting, with amendments to Section 3 of the
ordinance.

September 24, 2019 On September 24, 2019.the Ordinance was brought back to City Council for adoption; however, the City Council changed the Language of Subsection A.3(c).

October 10, 2019 The Ordinance was brought back to Council with the requested changes for waiver of full reading and adoption. After
considering all the oral and written testimony provided to them over the two meetings, City Council voted 4-1 to adopt
Ordinance 19-1395 an Ordinance of the City of Hermosa Beach, California, amending various sections of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code to establish a two-year pilot program to regulate the rental of existing nonconforming residential properties that are located in commercial zoning districts for fewer than 30 days.

September 21, 2021 During the September 21, 2021 Planning Commission hearing, staff sought direction from the Commission on whether to continue the vacation rentals pilot program and amend existing language to help clarify and clear up existing requirements for short-term vacation rentals. After discussion and deliberation, the Planning Commission directed staff to set a public hearing to consider a text amendment to continue the Short-Term Vacation Rentals Pilot Program for two additional years, for a total of four years from the ordinance effective date of October 24, 2019 and amend the existing language to help clarify and

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 5
Meeting Date Description
clear up the existing requirements for short-term vacation rentals.

October 19, 2021 The Planning Commission conducted its final public hearing on the text amendment. After considering all the oral and written testimony provided to them over the two meetings, the Planning Commission voted 5-0 not to adopt the resolution
recommending the City Council adopt a text amendment to continue the Short-Term Vacation Rentals Pilot Program for two additional years, for a total of four years from the ordinance effective date of October 24, 2019 and would revise the existing language to help clarify and clear up the existing requirements for short-term vacation rentals.

October 26, 2021 City Council heard public testimony. City Council moved first reading of Ordinance No. 21-1440.

December 14, 2021 City Council approved Ordinance No. 21-1440 to continue the STVR program an additional two years and modify existing language concerning permit requirements.

August 15, 2023 Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and adopted Resolution No. 23-12, recommending City Council approval of an Ordinance.

September 12, 2023 City Council approves Zone Text Amendment 23-04, moving Planning Commission recommendation.

November 13, 2023 Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and adopted Planning Commission Resolution 23-23, recommending to City Council approval of an Ordinance.

December 12, 2023 City Council approves Zone Text Amendment 23-05, clarifying the city’s regulation of advertisement of short-term rentals.

Discussion:

STVRs are currently only allowed in existing nonconforming residential properties on specific commercially zoned properties. Those proprieties are limited to the C-2, C-3, SPA 7, SPA-8 and SPA-11 zones (Attachment 2). This Zone Text Amendment is limited to a time extension of City’s Short-Term Vacation Rental Pilot Program which is set to expire on October 24, 2025. The Zone Text Amendment proposes no change to the general prohibition of STVRs in all residential zones or any other regulation.

Extending the program an additional two years would allow existing permitted STVRs to continue operation through October 24, 2027 in accordance with the provisions of the Short-Term Vacation Rental Ordinance.

Environmental Determination:

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 5
The Zone Text Amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3). The activity is covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects, which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

The Zone Text Amendment would not approve any development project or create any new land use provisions that would allow new development and therefore would not cause a significant effect on the environment.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended actions.

Public Notification:

A legal ad noticing the September 9, 2025, City Council meeting was published on August 28, 2025, in the Easy Reader, a newspaper of general circulation and posted on the city’s website.

On September 12, 2023, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 23- XXX, extending the Short-Term Vacation Rental Pilot Program an additional two years extending the Ordinance effective date through October 24, 2025 SECTION 3. The City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on September 9, 2025 to consider a text amendment of Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Title 17.

SECTION 4. Under Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, the ordinance qualifies foras a “common sense exemption” from environmental review as CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the ordinance is not subject to CEQA.

SECTION 5. The City Council finds the proposed amendments are consistent with the City’s General Plan. The ordinance will also comply with State requirements. The amendments will not impede the City’s ability to meet its General Plan goals, and the amendments are necessary to carry out the purposes of the Zoning Ordinance, including the orderly planned use of landresources.

SECTION 6. Section 17.42.180.D of Chapter 17.42 (General Provisions, Conditions and Exceptional Uses) of Title 17 (Zoning) is amended to read as follows:

D. Sunset Clause. The provisions in this section shall become inoperative on October 24, 2027, and shall be considered repealed on that date, unless the City Council of Hermosa Beach enacts a new ordinance that becomes effective on or before October 24, 2027, and which deletes or extends that date. No new or renewals of administrative permits and/or business licenses for short-term vacation rentals shall be issued after October 24, 2027, and no permitted short- term vacation rental shall have a right to operate beyond the term of the permit.

SECTION 7. If any provision of this ordinance or its application to any person or circumstance is held to be invalid, such invalidity has no effect on the other provisions or applications of the ordinance that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this extent, the provisions of this resolution are severable. The City Council declares that it would have adopted this resolution irrespective of the invalidity of any portion thereof.

SECTION 8. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after its passage and adoption pursuant to California Government Code section 36937.

SECTION 9. 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.

17.42.180 Short-Term Vacation Rentals.

It shall be unlawful for any person to offer or make available for rent or to rent (by way of a rental agreement, lease, license or any other means, whether oral or written) for compensation or consideration a residential dwelling, a dwelling unit or a room in a dwelling for less than 30 consecutive days and for any person to occupy a residential dwelling, a dwelling unit or a room in a dwelling for less than 30 consecutive days pursuant to a rental agreement, lease, license or any other means, whether oral or written, for compensation or consideration except for short-term vacation rentals in nonconforming residential dwelling units in certain commercial zones in compliance with the following requirements. No person or entity shall maintain any advertisement of a short-term rental in violation of this section, in any zone. In the event that an advertisement has conflicting information regarding a prohibited rental, the advertisement for the shorter amount of time shall control.

This section sets forth requirements for the establishment and operation of short-term vacation rentals in nonconforming residential dwelling units in certain commercial zones.

A. Permit and Operational Requirements. The approval of operation of a short-term vacation rental shall be subject to the following requirements:

1. Administrative Permit Required. Short-term vacation rentals may be established and operated only after an administrative permit has been approved in compliance with Chapter 17.55. The administrative permit for a short-term vacation rental shall be valid for one calendar year from the date of issuance and must be renewed annually thereafter; provided, that this section remains in effect and has not expired. a. Prior to approval or renewal of an administrative permit for operation of a short-term vacation rental, the premises shall be inspected by the building official or their designee for compliance with all applicable building and safety codes, as well as compliance with any applicable Municipal Code regulations regarding short-term vacation rentals. If the building official or their designee conducts more than two (2) inspections to verify compliance due to outstanding corrections, the applicant is subject to a reinspection fee for those additional inspections.
b. An application for a new or renewal of an administrative permit shall include payment of all required and outstanding administrative fees.
c. The application submittal shall include a list of the Uniform Resource Locations (URL) where the property is listed online, and the applicant shall keep the list current at all times. d. Short-term vacation rentals established under this section shall have no vested right to continued existence.

2. Location. Short-term vacation rentals shall only be permitted in nonconforming residential dwellings on properties zoned C-2, C-3, SPA 7, SPA 8, or SPA 11.
a. For purposes of this section, a "nonconforming residential unit" shall mean a residential dwelling unit that was lawfully established and maintained as a dwelling unit as of October 24, 2019. If the unit is converted into a nonresidential use, then it shall be deemed the termination of the existing nonconforming residential use, and thereby the unit loses any nonconforming status as a residential use and loses any right to operate as a short-term vacation rental.

3. Management and Operations Plan. In addition to any other requirements for an application for an administrative permit, or any conditions of approval contained therein, the application to establish and operate a short-term vacation rental shall be accompanied by a management plan, which shall establish, to the satisfaction of the community development director (director), or their designee, the following:
a. The reasonably prudent business practices that owner or owner’s authorized agent will use to ensure that the short-term vacation rental unit is used in a manner that complies with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and permits.
b. An identification plaque posted and maintained at all times, within plain view of and legible to the general public, not exceeding six square feet in size, and containing address of premises and permit number, and telephone number of Hermosa Beach Police Department dispatch for complaints regarding condition, 8/14/25, 3:32 PM Document Viewer | Municipal Code

operation or conduct of occupants of the unit. The director may alter the size requirement to ensure the plaque is legible from the adjacent public right-of-way. c. The name, address, and telephone number of a local contact person who shall be available 24 hours per day, seven days per week for the purpose of responding to City staff calls pertaining to complaints regarding the condition, operations, or conduct of occupants of the short-term vacation rental or their guests, and if directed by City staff, to personally proceed on site within 30 minutes from the call to resolve the problem.
d. The owner or the owner’s authorized agent shall, upon notification that any occupant or guest of the short-term vacation rental unit has created unreasonable noise or disturbances, engaged in disorderly conduct, or committed violations of any applicable law, rule or regulation pertaining to the use and occupancy of the short-term vacation rental unit, respond in a timely and appropriate manner to immediately halt or prevent a recurrence of such conduct. Failure of the owner or the owner’s authorized agent to respond to such calls or complaints regarding the condition, operation, or conduct of the occupants and/or guests of the short-term vacation rental unit in a timely and appropriate manner shall subject the owner to all administrative, legal, and equitable remedies available to the City. e. The owner and/or the owner’s authorized agent shall use reasonably prudent business practices to ensure that the occupants and/or guests of the short-term vacation rental unit do not create unreasonable noise or disturbances, engage in disorderly conduct or illegal activity, or violate any applicable law, rule or regulation pertaining to the use and occupancy of the short-term vacation rental unit. f. The owner and/or the owner’s authorized agent shall use reasonably prudent business practices to ensure that the short-term vacation rental unit is used for overnight accommodations purposes only. This shall include using all prudent business practices to prohibit the rental to commercial party businesses. g. Prior to occupancy of a short-term vacation rental unit, the owner or the owner’s authorized agent shall:
i. Obtain the contact information of the renter.
ii. Provide a copy of the City’s "Good Neighbor" brochure containing these requirements to the renter. iii. Require the renter to execute a formal acknowledgement they are legally responsible for compliance by all occupants of the short-term vacation rental unit and their guests with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations pertaining to the use and occupancy of the short-term vacation rental unit. iv.

h. The property shall be maintained free of litter and debris. Trash and refuse shall not be left or stored within public view, except in proper containers for the purpose of collection by the City’s authorized waste hauler on scheduled trash collection days. Trash receptacles must be maintained within an enclosure and placed for pick up to comply with the provisions of HBMC 8.12.220 and 8.12.230. The size or number of containers and/or frequency of pick-up (if permitted by the City’s authorized waste hauler) shall be increased if needed to accommodate the amount of trash generated by all uses on the site. i. On-site parking shall be allowed on approved driveway, garage and/or carport areas only. Parking shall comply with all current City parking regulations.

Subject: re: public comment - 17 d. parking fines, 16 a. short term rentals Some people who received this message don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn wh\l this is im12ortant Dear Council and Staff,
Was a few minutes late submitting a comment online. Realize you may not read this before the meeting, but decided to email it anyway.
17 d. IF I am reading the report, and looking at the chart correctly -- we would be going from the lowest street sweeping fine to the highest. I would prefer the increase be less drastic, perhaps $60? Agree the fines for both are due for an increase.
16a. I'm not opposed to extending this "trial" in the zones I believe it applies to. I do think that all council members with a rental unit in the city, particularly those with a history of using their unit as a short term rental, should recuse themselves from voting on this as well as any STR ordinance in the future.

Perhaps it can be clarified whether enforcement of the theoretical "ban" is on hold throughout the city.

Thanks for your service!

Staff Report No. 25-CMO-059
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council

ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO DECLARE ITS INTENTION TO ESTABLISH THE

HERMOSA BEACH TOURISM IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT AND FIXING THE TIME

AND PLACE OF A PUBLIC MEETING AND A PUBLIC HEARING THEREON AND GIVING NOTICE THEREOF.

CEQA: This program is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act. (Environmental Programs Manager Doug Krauss)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) declaring its intention to establish the Hermosa Beach Tourism Improvement District (HBTID) and fixing the time and place of a public meeting and a public hearing thereon and giving notice thereof Executive Summary:

The City and the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce work closely to help improve conditions for the City’s business community. Adopting a resolution of intent to establish a Tourism Improvement District (TID) would be an important next step towards that goal, as described in the draft Management District Plan (Attachment 2). The resolution would result in a public meeting on September 30, 2025, and a public hearing on October 28, 2025, on the formation of the Hermosa Beach Tourism Improvement District (HBTID) and the levy of assessments on certain lodging businesses located within the City boundaries.

Background:

The HBTID is a benefit assessment district proposed to create a revenue source to help fund Activities and Improvements (as defined in the Management District Plan) efforts for certain Hermosa Beach lodging businesses. This approach has been used successfully in other destination areas throughout the state to improve tourism and drive additional room nights to assessed businesses. The proposed HBTID includes all lodging businesses with eight rooms or more, existing and in the future, available for public occupancy located within the boundaries of the City of Hermosa Beach.

Lodging business owners decided to pursue formation of the HBTID in order to create a revenue source devoted to marketing Hermosa Beach as a tourist, meeting and event destination. If established, the HBTID would generate approximately $727,517 on an annual basis for promotion of travel and tourism specific to Hermosa Beach.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 4
TIDs utilize the efficiencies of private sector operation in the market-based promotion of tourism. These special assessment districts allow assessed business owners to organize their efforts to increase tourism. Business owners within the TID fund the TID, and those funds are used to provide services that are desired by and benefit the assessed businesses within the TID. Potential TID benefits include:
 Funds cannot be diverted for other government programs;  They are customized to fit the needs of each destination;  They allow for a wide range of services; including destination marketing, tourism promotion, and sales lead generation;
 They are designed, created and governed by those who will benefit from and pay the assessment; and
 They provide a stable funding source for tourism promotion.

In California, TIDs are commonly formed pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (94 Law). This law allows for the creation of special benefit assessment districts to raise funds within a specific geographic area. The key difference between TIDs and other special benefit assessment districts is that funds raised are provided to a private non-profit corporation, or an owner’s association, to administer and implement the purposes of the TID.

Discussion:

The Management District Plan includes the proposed boundary of the HBTID, a service plan and budget, and a proposed means of governance. The annual assessment rate is two percent of gross short-term sleeping room rental revenue. Based on the benefit received, assessments will not be collected on: stays of more than thirty consecutive days; stays by any person as to whom, or any occupancy as to which, it is beyond the power of the City to impose the assessment herein provided; stays by any federal or state of California officer or employee when on official business; and stays by any officer or employee of a foreign government who is exempt by reason of express provision of federal law or international treaty; and stays pursuant to contracts executed prior to November 1, 2025.

The proposed HBTID will have a five year term, beginning November 1, 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter, and ending five years from its start date. Once per year beginning on the anniversary of the HBTID formation there is a thirty-day period in which business owners paying fifty percent or more of the assessment may protest and begin proceedings to terminate the HBTID.

The City will be responsible for collecting the assessment on a quarterly basis (including any delinquencies, interest and overdue charges) from each assessed business. The City shall forward the assessments to the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 4
Visitor Bureau (HBCCVB), which will have the responsibility of managing HBTID programs as provided in the Management District Plan. The City shall be paid a fee equal to one percent of the amount of assessment collected to cover its costs of collection and administration.

HBTID FORMATION PROCESS TIMELINE
September 9 RESOLUTION OF INTENTION HEARING
Upon the submission of a written petition, signed by the business owners in the proposed HBTID who will pay more than fifty percent of the assessments proposed to be levied, the City Council may initiate proceedings to establish the HBTID by the adoption of a resolution expressing its intention to establish the HBTID.

No later than
September 12 NOTICE
The 94 Law requires the City to mail written notice to the owners of all businesses proposed to be assessed within the HBTID. Mailing the notice begins a mandatory forty-five day period in which assessed business owners may protest HBTID formation.

September 30 PUBLIC MEETING
Allow public testimony on the formation of the HBTID and levy of assessments. No Council action required.

October 28 PUBLIC HEARING
If written protests are received from the owners of businesses in the proposed HBTID which will pay fifty percent or more of the assessments proposed to be levied, and protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the protests to less than fifty percent, no further proceedings to levy the proposed assessment against such businesses shall be taken for a period of one year from the date of the finding of a majority protest by the City Council.

If no majority protest is received, the City Council, following the public hearing, may decide to establish the proposed HBTID and adopt a resolution of formation.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no immediate fiscal impact to the City with the recommended action to adopt a resolution to declare its intention to establish the HBTID.

If the HBTID is established, the HBTID is expected to generate approximately $720,000 in assessment funds for activities and improvements to promote assessed businesses as tourist, meeting, and event destinations.

The City would be paid a fee equal to one percent (1%) of the HBTID assessment collected, expected to be approximately $7,200 for collection and administration costs.

HBTID Management District Plan 3
August 14, 2025

I. OVERVIEW
Developed by Hermosa Beach lodging businesses and the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Bureau (“HBCCVB”), the Hermosa Beach Tourism Improvement District (“HBTID”) is an assessment district proposed to provide specific benefits to assessed businesses, by funding certain marketing and sales promotion activities (the “Activities”) and the acquisition, construction, installation, and maintenance of certain improvements (the “Improvements”), further defined in this Management District Plan (“Plan”), pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994, being Part 7 of Division 18 of the California Streets and Highways Code, commencing with section 36600 (the “94 Law”). This approach has been used successfully in other destination areas throughout the country to provide the benefit of additional room night sales directly to payors.

Location: The HBTID includes all lodging businesses with eight (8) rooms or more, existing and in the future, available for public occupancy located within the boundaries of the City of Hermosa Beach (“City”), as shown on the map in Section IV.

Services: The HBTID is designed to provide specific benefits directly to payors by increasing awareness and demand for room night sales. The Activities and Improvements set forth in this Plan, will increase demand for overnight tourism and market payors as tourist, meeting and event destinations, thereby increasing demand for room night sales.

Budget: The total HBTID annual assessment budget for the initial year of its five (5) year operation is anticipated to be approximately $727,517. A similar budget is expected to apply to subsequent years, but this budget is expected to fluctuate as room sales do and as businesses open and close.

Cost: The annual assessment rate is two percent (2%) of gross short-term sleeping room rental revenue. Based on the benefit received, assessments will not be collected on: stays of more than thirty (30) consecutive days; stays by any person as to whom, or
any occupancy as to which, it is beyond the power of the City to impose the assessment herein provided; stays by any federal or state of California officer or employee when on official business; and stays by any officer or employee of a foreign government who is exempt by reason of express provision of federal law or international treaty; and stays pursuant to contracts executed prior to November 1, 2025.

Collection: The City will be responsible for collecting the assessment on a quarterly basis (including any delinquencies, interest and overdue charges) from each assessed lodging business. The City shall take

HBTID Management District Plan 4
August 14, 2025

all reasonable efforts to collect the assessments from each assessed lodging business.

Duration: The proposed HBTID will have a five (5) year life, beginning November 1, 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter, and ending five (5) years from its start date. After five (5) years, the HBTID may be renewed for up to ten (10) years pursuant to the 94 Law if assessed business owners support continuing the HBTID programs.

Management: The HBCCVB shall serve as the HBTID’s Owners’ Association. The Owners’ Association must provide annual reports to the City Council. The Tourism Committee of the HBCCVB Board will implement and oversee HBTID programs. The Tourism Committee will be responsible for determining the management of HBTID funds and expenditures, and shall possess the authority to manage HBTID assessment funds and full decision-making authority regarding HBTID programs.

II. BACKGROUND
TIDs are an evolution of the traditional Business Improvement District. The first TID was formed in West Hollywood, California in 1989. Since then, over 100 California destinations have followed suit. In recent years, other states have begun adopting the California model – Illinois, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Montana, South Dakota, Washington, Colorado, Texas and Louisiana have adopted TID laws. Several other states are in the process of adopting their own legislation. The cities of Wichita, Kansas and Newark, New Jersey used an existing business improvement district law to form a TID. Additionally, some cities, like Portland, Oregon and Memphis, Tennessee have utilized their home rule powers to create TIDs without a state law.

California’s TIDs
collectively raise over $300
million annually for local
destination
marketing. With
competitors raising their
budgets, and increasing
rivalry for visitor dollars, it is
important that Hermosa
Beach lodging businesses
invest in stable,
commerce-specific
marketing programs.

TIDs utilize the efficiencies
of private sector operation
in the market-based
promotion of tourism districts. TIDs allow tourism business owners to organize their efforts to increase commerce. Tourism business owners within the TID pay an assessment and those funds are used to provide services that increase commerce.

In California, most TIDs are formed pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994. This law allows for the creation of a benefit assessment district to raise funds within a specific geographic area. The key difference between TIDs and other benefit assessment districts is that funds raised are returned to the private non-profit corporation governing the district.

There are many benefits to TIDs:
• Funds must be spent on services and improvements that provide a specific benefit only to those who pay;
• Funds cannot be diverted to general government programs; • They are customized to fit the needs of payors in each destination; • They allow for a wide range of services;
• They are designed, created and governed by those who will pay the assessment; and
• They provide a stable, long-term funding source for tourism promotion 0 20

III. BOUNDARY
The HBTID will include all lodging businesses with eight (8) rooms or more, existing and in the future, available for public occupancy within the boundaries of the City, as shown in the map below.

Lodging business means: any structure, which is occupied or intended or designed for occupancy by transients for dwelling, lodging or sleeping purposes, and includes any hotel, inn, tourist home or house, motel, studio hotel, bachelor hotel, lodging house, rooming house, apartment house, dormitory, public or private club, mobile home or house trailer at a fixed location, or other similar structure or portion thereof.

A complete listing of assessed lodging businesses within the proposed HBTID can be found in Appendix 2.

IV. ASSESSMENT BUDGET AND SERVICES
A. Annual Service Plan
Assessment funds will be spent to provide specific benefits conferred or privileges granted directly to the payors that are not provided to those not charged, and which do not exceed the reasonable cost to the City of conferring the benefits or granting the privileges. The privileges and services provided with the HBTID funds are the Activities and Improvements set forth in this Plan, available only to assessed businesses.

A service plan assessment budget has been developed to deliver services that benefit the assessed businesses. A detailed annual assessment budget will be developed and approved by HBCCVB. The chart below illustrates the initial annual assessment budget allocations. These activities and allocations will also apply in subsequent years.

The total initial assessment budget is estimated to be $727,517.

Although actual revenues will fluctuate due to market conditions, the proportional allocations of the budget shall remain the same. However, the City and the HBCCVB board shall have the authority to adjust budget allocations between the categories by no more than fifteen percent (15%) of the total budget per year. A description of the proposed improvements and activities for the initial year of operation is below. The same activities are proposed for subsequent years. In the event of a legal challenge against the HBTID, any and all assessment funds may be used for the costs of defending the HBTID. In the first year of operation, the costs of creating the HBTID may be repaid using assessment funds.

Each budget category includes all costs related to providing that service. For example, the Activities and Improvements budget includes the cost of staff time dedicated to overseeing and implementing such Activities and Improvements program. Staff time dedicated purely to administrative tasks is allocated to the administrative portion of the budget. The costs of an individual staff member may be allocated to multiple budget categories. The staffing levels necessary to provide the services below will be determined by the HBCCVB on an as- needed basis.

Activities and Improvements
The Activities and Improvements will promote assessed businesses as tourist, meeting, and event destinations. The HBTID will have a central theme of promoting the destination as a desirable place for overnight visits. The Activities and Improvements will have the goal of increasing demand for overnight visitation and room night sales at assessed businesses, which may include, but is not limited to, the following:

Activities (Sales and Marketing):
• Internet marketing efforts to increase awareness and optimize internet presence to drive overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses; • Print ads in magazines and newspapers targeted at potential visitors to drive overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses; this may also include the printing and distribution of the Truly Hermosa magazine to expand reach and influence key visitor markets;
• Television ads targeted at potential visitors to drive overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses;
• Radio ads targeted at potential visitors to drive overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses;
• Produce a live album and recording that captures Hermosa Beach’s vibrant jazz scene and showcase local talent to enhance the visitor experience and attract jazz enthusiasts and promote the City as a cultural tourism destination; • Attendance of trade shows to promote assessed businesses; • Sales blitzes for assessed businesses;
• Familiarization tours of assessed businesses;
• Preparation and production of collateral promotional materials such as brochures, visitor guides, flyers and maps featuring assessed businesses; • Attendance of professional industry conferences and affiliation events to promote assessed businesses;
• Partnership with both local and state tourism organizations to target key international markets to increase overnight visitation at assessed businesses; • Development and implementation of a public relations and communications strategy, inclusive of social media outlets and press release distribution designed to drive overnight visitation at assessed businesses; • Director of Sales, Marketing and/or General Manager meetings to plan and coordinate tourism promotion efforts for assessed businesses; • Education of lodging business management and the owners’ association on marketing strategies best suited to meet assessed businesses’ needs; • Acquisition/utilization of new technologies for novel marketing initiatives;

HBTID Management District Plan 9
August 14, 2025

• Development of Return on Investment (“ROI”) analysis on effectiveness of district funds to improve effectiveness and increase demand for overnight visitation at assessed businesses;
• Development of a marketing plan to ensure district funds are strategically spent to market assessed lodging businesses;
• Lead generation activities designed to attract tourists and group events to assessed businesses;
• Maintaining an experienced sales staff to target the meeting and conference market to generate overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses;
• Maximizing alliances with professional organizations that target group business, or database services that track group opportunities to develop new leads for assessed businesses; and
• Incentivizing conferences and meetings to book in Hermosa Beach.

Improvements (Destination Development):
• Services designed to improve the visitors experience such as, but not limited to, beautification and/or the installation of lighting to drive overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses; and
• Other activities that increase the profile and notoriety of the destination as an overnight travel destination and promote greater room night sales for assessed businesses.

Administration
The administration and operations portion of the budget shall be utilized for administrative staffing costs, office costs, advocacy, and other general administrative costs such as insurance, legal, and accounting fees.

Contingency/Reserve
The budget includes a contingency line item to account for uncollected assessments, if any. If there are contingency funds collected, they may be held in a reserve fund or utilized for other programs, administration or renewal costs at the discretion of the Tourism Committee. Policies relating to contributions to the reserve fund, the target amount of the reserve fund, and expenditure of monies from the reserve fund shall be set by the Tourism Committee.

City Collection Fee
The City of Hermosa shall be paid a fee equal to one percent (1%) of the amount of assessment collected, to cover its costs of collection and administration.

B. Annual Budget
The total five (5) year assessment budget is projected at approximately $727,517 annually, or $3,637,585 through 2030. A similar budget is expected to apply to subsequent years, but this budget is expected to fluctuate as room sales do and as businesses open and close.

C. California Constitutional Compliance
The HBTID assessment is not a property-based assessment subject to the requirements of Proposition 218. Courts have found Proposition 218 limited the term

HBTID Management District Plan 10
August 14, 2025

‘assessments’ to levies on real property.1 Rather, the HBTID assessment is a businessbased assessment, and is subject to Proposition 26. Pursuant to Proposition 26 all levies are a tax unless they fit one of seven exceptions. Two of these exceptions apply to the HBTID, a “specific benefit” and a “specific government service.” Both require that the costs of benefits or services do not exceed the reasonable costs to the City of conferring the benefits or providing the services.

1. Specific Benefit
Proposition 26 requires that assessment funds be expended on, “a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege.”2 The services in this Plan are designed to provide targeted benefits directly to assessed businesses, and are intended only to provide benefits and services directly to those businesses paying the assessment. These services are tailored not to serve the general public, businesses in general, or parcels of land, but rather to serve the specific businesses within the HBTID. The activities described in this Plan are specifically targeted to increase demand for room night sales for assessed lodging businesses within the boundaries of the HBTID and are narrowly tailored. HBTID funds will be used exclusively to provide the specific benefit of increased demand for room night sales directly to the assessees. Assessment funds shall not be used to feature non-assessed lodging businesses in HBTID programs, or to directly generate sales for non-assessed businesses. The activities paid for from assessment revenues are business services constituting and providing specific benefits to the assessed businesses. Nothing in this Plan limits the ability of the Owners’ Association to enter into private contracts with non-assessed lodging businesses for the provision of services to those businesses.

The assessment imposed by this HBTID is for a specific benefit conferred directly to the payors that is not provided to those not charged. The specific benefit conferred directly to the payors is an increase in demand for room night sales. The specific benefit of an increase in demand for room night sales for assessed lodging businesses will be provided only to lodging businesses paying the district assessment, with marketing and sales programs promoting lodging businesses paying the HBTID assessment. The marketing and sales programs will be designed to increase room night sales at each assessed lodging businesses. Because they are necessary to provide the marketing and sales programs that specifically benefit the assessed lodging businesses, the administration and contingency/Reserve services also provide the specific benefit of increased demand for room night sales to the assessed lodging businesses.

Although the HBTID, in providing specific benefits to payors, may produce incidental benefits to non-paying businesses, the incidental benefit does not preclude the services from being considered a specific benefit. The legislature has found that, “A specific benefit is not excluded from classification as a ‘specific benefit’ merely 1 Jarvis v. the City of San Diego 72 Cal App. 4th 230
2 Cal. Const. art XIII C § 1(e)(1)

HBTID Management District Plan 11
August 14, 2025

because an indirect benefit to a nonpayor occurs incidentally and without cost to the payor as a consequence of providing the specific benefit to the payor.”3

2. Specific Government Service
The assessment may also be utilized to provide, “a specific government service or product provided directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product.”4 The legislature has recognized that marketing and promotions services like those to be provided by the HBTID are government services within the meaning of Proposition 265. Further, the legislature has determined that “a specific government service is not excluded from classification as a ‘specific government service’ merely because an indirect benefit to a nonpayor occurs incidentally and without cost to the payor as a consequence of providing the specific government service to the payor.”6

3. Reasonable Cost
HBTID services will be implemented carefully to ensure they do not exceed the reasonable cost of such services. The full amount assessed will be used to provide the services described herein. Funds will be managed by the HBCCVB, and reports submitted on an annual basis to the City. Only assessed lodging businesses will be featured in marketing materials, receive sales leads generated from HBTID-funded activities, be featured in advertising campaigns, and benefit from other HBTID-funded services. The assessed lodging business list was compiled from records provided by the jurisdiction and complies with the requirements of the 94 Law. Pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 36615, the City Council's determination of ownership is final and conclusive, with no obligation to obtain other information. Non-assessed lodging businesses will not receive these, nor any other, HBTID-funded services and benefits.

The HBTID-funded programs are targeted directly to benefit assessed businesses. It is, however, possible that there will be a spill over benefit to non-assessed businesses.

If non-assessed lodging businesses receive incremental room nights, that portion of the promotion or program generating those room nights shall be paid with nonHBTID funds. HBTID funds shall only be spent to benefit the assessed businesses, and shall not be spent on that portion of any program which directly generates incidental room nights for non-assessed businesses.

D. Assessment
The annual assessment rate is two percent (2%) of gross short-term sleeping room rental revenue. Based on the benefit received, assessments will not be collected on:
stays of more than thirty (30) consecutive days; stays by any person as to whom, or any occupancy as to which, it is beyond the power of the City to impose the assessment herein provided; stays by any federal or state of California officer or employee when on official business; and stays by any officer or employee of a foreign government who is exempt by reason of express provision of federal law or 3 Government Code § 53758(a)
4 Cal. Const. art XIII C § 1(e)(2)
5 Government Code § 53758(b)
6 Government Code § 53758(b)

HBTID Management District Plan 12
August 14, 2025

international treaty; and stays pursuant to contracts executed prior to November 1, 2025.

The assessment was calculated based on the total cost of the Activities and Improvements to be provided for the benefit of the businesses within the HBTID, with costs allocated based on the proportional benefit conferred to each business. The Activities and Improvements funded by the HBTID, are specifically targeted to increase room nights at assessed businesses. All room night sales do not represent the same benefit to the payors. For example, a higher priced room night is of greater benefit than a lower priced room night because the assessee derives greater revenue.

To account for this benefit differential and to make sure the benefits are proportional, an assessment formula based on a percentage of revenue has been selected. The proposed formula accurately reflects greater benefit to assessed businesses with higher priced room nights.

The term “gross short term sleeping room rental revenue” as used herein means: the consideration charged on the room rate for the occupancy of space in a lodging business valued in money, not including other charges such as reservation fees, forfeited deposits, cancelation fees, attrition fees, no-show fees, parking fees, internet fees, roll-a-way beds fees, early and/or late checkout fees, or any other charges or fees (existing or in the future).

Gross sleeping room rental revenue shall not include, and therefore the assessment shall not be charged upon, any federal, state or local taxes collected, including but not limited to transient occupancy taxes.

The assessment is levied upon and a direct obligation of the assessed lodging business. However, the assessed lodging business may, at its discretion, pass the assessment on to transients. The amount of assessment, if passed on to each transient, shall be disclosed in advance and separately stated from the amount of rent charged and any other applicable taxes, and each transient shall receive a receipt for payment from the business. If the HBTID assessment is identified separately it shall be disclosed as the “HBTID Assessment.” As an alternative, the disclosure may include the amount of the HBTID assessment and the amount of the assessment imposed pursuant to the California Tourism Marketing Act, Government Code §13995 et seq. and shall be disclosed as the “Tourism Assessment.” The assessment is imposed solely upon, and is the sole obligation of the assessed lodging business even if it is passed on to transients. The assessment shall not be considered revenue for calculation of transient occupancy taxes.

Bonds shall not be issued.

E. Interest and Overdue Charges
The HBTID shall reimburse the City of Hermosa Beach for any costs associated with collecting unpaid assessments. If sums in excess of the delinquent HBTID assessment are sought to be recovered in the same collection action by the City, the HBTID shall bear its pro rata share of such collection costs. Assessed businesses which are delinquent in paying the assessment shall be responsible for paying:

HBTID Management District Plan 13
August 14, 2025

1. Original Delinquency: Any assessed business owner who fails to remit any assessment imposed by this Plan within the time required shall pay an overdue charge of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the assessment in addition to the amount of the assessment.

2. Continued Delinquency: Any assessed business owner who fails to remit any delinquent assessment on or before a period of thirty (30) days following the date on which the assessment first became delinquent shall pay a second delinquency overdue charge of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the assessment in addition to the amount of the assessment and the ten percent (10%) overdue charge first imposed.

3. Fraud: If the City determines that the nonpayment of any assessment due is due to fraud, an overdue charge of twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of the assessment shall be added thereto in addition to the overdue charges stated in subsections 1 and 2 of this section.

4. Interest: In addition to the overdue charges imposed, any assessed business owner who fails to remit any assessment shall pay interest at the rate of onehalf of one percent (0.5%) per month or fraction thereof on the amount of the assessment, exclusive of overdue charges, from the date on which the assessment first became delinquent until paid.

5. Overdue Charges and Interest Merged with Assessment: Every overdue charge imposed and such interest as accrues under this Plan shall become a part of the assessment herein required to be paid.

F. Time and Manner for Collecting Assessments
The HBTID assessment will be implemented beginning November 1, 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter, and shall continue for five (5) years from its start date. The City will be responsible for collecting the assessment on a quarterly basis (including any delinquencies, interest and overdue charges) from each lodging business. The City shall take all reasonable efforts to collect the assessments from each lodging business.

The City shall forward the assessments collected to the Owners’ Association.

HBTID Management District Plan 14
August 14, 2025

V. GOVERNANCE
A. Owners’ Association
The City Council, through adoption of this Plan, has the right, pursuant to Streets and Highways Code §36651, to identify the body that shall implement the proposed program, which shall be the Owners’ Association of the HBTID as defined in Streets and Highways Code §36612. The City Council has determined that HBCCVB will serve as the Owners’ Association for the HBTID.

The Tourism Committee of the HBCCVB Board will implement and oversee HBTID programs. The Tourism Committee will be responsible for determining the management of HBTID funds and expenditures, and shall include representation from lodging businesses paying the HBTID assessment. The Tourism Committee shall possess the authority to manage HBTID assessment funds and full decision-making authority regarding HBTID programs.

B. Brown Act and California Public Records Act Compliance An Owners’ Association is a private entity and may not be considered a public entity for any purpose, nor may its board members or staff be considered to be public officials for any purpose. The Owners’ Association is, however, subject to government regulations relating to transparency, namely the Ralph M. Brown Act and the California Public Records Act. These regulations are designed to promote public accountability. The Owners’ Association acts as a legislative body under the Ralph M.

Brown Act (Government Code §54950 et seq.). Thus, meetings of the HBCCVB Board and certain committees must be held in compliance with the public notice and other requirements of the Brown Act. Accordingly, the Owners’ Association shall publicly report any action taken and the vote or abstention on that action of each member present for the action. The Owners’ Association is also subject to the record keeping and disclosure requirements of the California Public Records Act.

C. Annual Report
The HBCCVB shall present an annual report at the end of each year of operation to the City Council pursuant to Streets and Highways Code §36650 (see Appendix 1). The annual report shall include:
• Any proposed changes in the boundaries of the improvement district or in any benefit zones or classification of businesses within the district. • The improvements and activities to be provided for that fiscal year. • An estimate of the cost of providing the improvements and the activities for that fiscal year.
• The method and basis of levying the assessment in sufficient detail to allow each business owner to estimate the amount of the assessment to be levied against his or her business for that fiscal year.
• The estimated amount of any surplus or deficit revenues to be carried over from a previous fiscal year.
• The estimated amount of any contributions to be made from sources other than assessments levied pursuant to this part.

PART 7. PROPERTY AND BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT LAW OF 1994 CHAPTER 1. General Provisions
ARTICLE 1. Declarations
36600. Citation of part

This part shall be known and may be cited as the “Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994.” 36601. Legislative findings and declarations; Legislative guidance

The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) Businesses located and operating within business districts in some of this state’s communities are economically disadvantaged, are underutilized, and are unable to attract customers due to inadequate facilities, services, and activities in the business districts. (b) It is in the public interest to promote the economic revitalization and physical maintenance of business districts in order to create jobs, attract new businesses, and prevent the erosion of the business districts. (c) It is of particular local benefit to allow business districts to fund business related improvements, maintenance, and activities through the levy of assessments upon the businesses or real property that receive benefits from those improvements.
(d) Assessments levied for the purpose of conferring special benefit upon the real property or a specific benefit upon the businesses in a business district are not taxes for the general benefit of a city, even if property, businesses, or persons not assessed receive incidental or collateral effects that benefit them. (e) Property and business improvement districts formed throughout this state have conferred special benefits upon properties and businesses within their districts and have made those properties and businesses more useful by providing the following benefits:
(1) Crime reduction. A study by the Rand Corporation has confirmed a 12-percent reduction in the incidence of robbery and an 8-percent reduction in the total incidence of violent crimes within the 30 districts studied.
(2) Job creation.
(3) Business attraction.
(4) Business retention.
(5) Economic growth.
(6) New investments.
(f) With the dissolution of redevelopment agencies throughout the state, property and business improvement districts have become even more important tools with which communities can combat blight, promote economic opportunities, and create a clean and safe environment. (g) Since the enactment of this act, the people of California have adopted Proposition 218, which added Article XIII D to the Constitution in order to place certain requirements and restrictions on the formation of, and activities, expenditures, and assessments by property-based districts. Article XIII D of the Constitution provides that property-based districts may only levy assessments for special benefits. (h) The act amending this section is intended to provide the Legislature’s guidance with regard to this act, its interaction with the provisions of Article XIII D of the Constitution, and the determination of special benefits in property-based districts.
(1) The lack of legislative guidance has resulted in uncertainty and inconsistent application of this act, which discourages the use of assessments to fund needed improvements, maintenance, and activities in property-based districts, contributing to blight and other underutilization of property. (2) Activities undertaken for the purpose of conferring special benefits upon property to be assessed inherently produce incidental or collateral effects that benefit property or persons not

HBTID Management District Plan 16
August 14, 2025

assessed. Therefore, for special benefits to exist as a separate and distinct category from general benefits, the incidental or collateral effects of those special benefits are inherently part of those special benefits. The mere fact that special benefits produce incidental or collateral effects that benefit property or persons not assessed does not convert any portion of those special benefits or their incidental or collateral effects into general benefits. (3) It is of the utmost importance that property-based districts created under this act have clarity regarding restrictions on assessments they may levy and the proper determination of special benefits. Legislative clarity with regard to this act will provide districts with clear instructions and courts with legislative intent regarding restrictions on property-based assessments, and the manner in which special benefits should be determined.
36602. Purpose of part

The purpose of this part is to supplement previously enacted provisions of law that authorize cities to levy assessments within property and business improvement districts, to ensure that those assessments conform to all constitutional requirements and are determined and assessed in accordance with the guidance set forth in this act.

This part does not affect or limit any other provisions of law authorizing or providing for the furnishing of improvements or activities or the raising of revenue for these purposes. 36603. Preemption of authority or charter city to adopt ordinances levying assessments

Nothing in this part is intended to preempt the authority of a charter city to adopt ordinances providing for a different method of levying assessments for similar or additional purposes from those set forth in this part. A property and business improvement district created pursuant to this part is expressly exempt from the provisions of the Special Assessment Investigation, Limitation and Majority Protest Act of 1931 (Division 4 (commencing with Section 2800)).
36603.5. Part prevails over conflicting provisions

Any provision of this part that conflicts with any other provision of law shall prevail over the other provision of law, as to districts created under this part.
36604. Severability

This part is intended to be construed liberally and, if any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Assessments levied under this part are not special taxes.

(2) A time and place for a public hearing on the establishment of the property and business improvement district and the levy of assessments, which shall be consistent with the requirements of Section 36623.
36622. Contents of management district plan

The management district plan shall include, but is not limited to, all of the following:
(a) If the assessment will be levied on property, a map of the district in sufficient detail to locate each parcel of property and, if businesses are to be assessed, each business within the district. If the assessment will be levied on businesses, a map that identifies the district boundaries in sufficient detail to allow a business owner to reasonably determine whether a business is located within the district boundaries. If the assessment will be levied on property and businesses, a map of the district in sufficient detail to locate each parcel of property and to allow a business owner to reasonably determine whether a business is located within the district boundaries.
(b) The name of the proposed district.
(c) A description of the boundaries of the district, including the boundaries of benefit zones, proposed for establishment or extension in a manner sufficient to identify the affected property and businesses included, which may be made by reference to any plan or map that is on file with the clerk. The boundaries of a proposed property assessment district shall not overlap with the boundaries of another existing property assessment district created pursuant to this part. This part does not prohibit the boundaries of a district created pursuant to this part to overlap with other assessment districts established pursuant to other provisions of law, including, but not limited to, the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 (Part 6 (commencing with Section 36500)). This part does not prohibit the boundaries of a business assessment district created pursuant to this part to overlap with another business assessment district created

HBTID Management District Plan 20

pursuant to this part. This part does not prohibit the boundaries of a business assessment district created pursuant to this part to overlap with a property assessment district created pursuant to this part. (d) The improvements, maintenance, and activities proposed for each year of operation of the district and the estimated cost thereof. If the improvements, maintenance, and activities proposed for each year of operation are the same, a description of the first year’s proposed improvements, maintenance, and activities and a statement that the same improvements, maintenance, and activities are proposed for subsequent years shall satisfy the requirements of this subdivision.
(e) The total annual amount proposed to be expended for improvements, maintenance, or activities, and debt service in each year of operation of the district. If the assessment is levied on businesses, this amount may be estimated based upon the assessment rate. If the total annual amount proposed to be expended in each year of operation of the district is not significantly different, the amount proposed to be expended in the initial year and a statement that a similar amount applies to subsequent years shall satisfy the requirements of this subdivision.
(f) The proposed source or sources of financing, including the proposed method and basis of levying the assessment in sufficient detail to allow each property or business owner to calculate the amount of the assessment to be levied against their property or business. The plan also shall state whether bonds will be issued to finance improvements.
(g) The time and manner of collecting the assessments.
(h) The specific number of years in which assessments will be levied. In a new district, the maximum number of years shall be five. Upon renewal, a district shall have a term not to exceed 10 years.

Notwithstanding these limitations, a district created pursuant to this part to finance capital improvements with bonds may levy assessments until the maximum maturity of the bonds. The management district plan may set forth specific increases in assessments for each year of operation of the district. (i) The proposed time for implementation and completion of the management district plan. (j) Any proposed rules and regulations to be applicable to the district. (k)
(1) A list of the properties or businesses to be assessed, including the assessor’s parcel numbers for properties to be assessed, and a statement of the method or methods by which the expenses of a district will be imposed upon benefited real property or businesses, in proportion to the benefit received by the property or business, to defray the cost thereof. (2) In a property-based district, the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined exclusively in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the activities. An assessment shall not be imposed on any parcel that exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable, and a property-based district shall separate the general benefits, if any, from the special benefits conferred on a parcel. Parcels within a property-based district that are owned or used by any city, public agency, the State of California, or the United States shall not be exempt from assessment unless the governmental entity can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that those publicly owned parcels in fact receive no special benefit. The value of any incidental, secondary, or collateral effects that arise from the improvements, maintenance, or activities of a propertybased district and that benefit property or persons not assessed shall not be deducted from the entirety of the cost of any special benefit or affect the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel.
(3) In a property-based district, properties throughout the district may share the same special benefits. In a district with boundaries that define which parcels are to receive improvements, maintenance, or activities over and above those services provided by the city, the improvements, maintenance, or activities themselves may constitute a special benefit. The city may impose assessments that are less than the proportional special benefit conferred, but shall not impose assessments that exceed the reasonable costs of the proportional special benefit conferred. Because one or more parcels pay less than the special benefit conferred does not necessarily mean that other parcels are assessed more than the reasonable cost of their special benefit. (l) In a property-based district, a detailed engineer’s report prepared by a registered professional engineer certified by the State of California supporting all assessments contemplated by the management district plan.
(m) Any other item or matter required to be incorporated therein by the city council.

36623. Procedure to levy assessment

(a) If a city council proposes to levy a new or increased property assessment, the notice and protest and hearing procedure shall comply with Section 53753 of the Government Code. (b) If a city council proposes to levy a new or increased business assessment, the notice and protest and hearing procedure shall comply with Section 54954.6 of the Government Code, except that notice shall be mailed to the owners of the businesses proposed to be assessed. A protest may be made orally or in writing by any interested person. Every written protest shall be filed with the clerk at or before the time fixed for the public hearing. The city council may waive any irregularity in the form or content of any written protest. A written protest may be withdrawn in writing at any time before the conclusion of the public hearing. Each written protest shall contain a description of the business in which the person subscribing the protest is interested sufficient to identify the business and, if a person subscribing is not shown on the official records of the city as the owner of the business, the protest shall contain or be accompanied by written evidence that the person subscribing is the owner of the business or the authorized representative. A written protest that does not comply with this section shall not be counted in determining a majority protest.

If written protests are received from the owners or authorized representatives of businesses in the proposed district that will pay 50 percent or more of the assessments proposed to be levied and protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the protests to less than 50 percent, no further proceedings to levy the proposed assessment against such businesses, as contained in the resolution of intention, shall be taken for a period of one year from the date of the finding of a majority protest by the city council. (c) If a city council proposes to conduct a single proceeding to levy both a new or increased property assessment and a new or increased business assessment, the notice and protest and hearing procedure for the property assessment shall comply with subdivision (a), and the notice and protest and hearing procedure for the business assessment shall comply with subdivision (b). If a majority protest is received from either the property or business owners, that respective portion of the assessment shall not be levied. The remaining portion of the assessment may be levied unless the improvement or other special benefit was proposed to be funded by assessing both property and business owners. 36624. Changes to proposed assessments

At the conclusion of the public hearing to establish the district, the city council may adopt, revise, change, reduce, or modify the proposed assessment or the type or types of improvements, maintenance, and activities to be funded with the revenues from the assessments. Proposed assessments may only be revised by reducing any or all of them. At the public hearing, the city council may only make changes in, to, or from the boundaries of the proposed property and business improvement district that will exclude territory that will not benefit from the proposed improvements, maintenance, and activities. Any modifications, revisions, reductions, or changes to the proposed assessment district shall be reflected in the notice and map recorded pursuant to Section 36627. 36625. Resolution of formation

(a) If the city council, following the public hearing, decides to establish a proposed property and business improvement district, the city council shall adopt a resolution of formation that shall include, but is not limited to, all of the following:
(1) A brief description of the proposed improvements, maintenance, and activities, the amount of the proposed assessment, a statement as to whether the assessment will be levied on property, businesses, or both within the district, a statement on whether bonds will be issued, and a description of the exterior boundaries of the proposed district, which may be made by reference to any plan or map that is on file with the clerk. The descriptions and statements need not be detailed and shall be sufficient if they enable an owner to generally identify the nature and extent of the improvements, maintenance, and activities and the location and extent of the proposed district. (2) The number, date of adoption, and title of the resolution of intention. (3) The time and place where the public hearing was held concerning the establishment of the district.
(4) A determination regarding any protests received. The city shall not establish the district or levy assessments if a majority protest was received.
(5) A statement that the properties, businesses, or properties and businesses in the district established by the resolution shall be subject to any amendments to this part.
