================================================================ Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.
Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.
Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iii)).
---------------------------------------------------------------- The body of each wage determination lists the classifications and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the
65270.00504\44133326.4
- 102 -
type(s) of construction and geographic area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order under rate identifiers indicating whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate), a survey rate, a weighted union average rate, a state adopted rate, or a supplemental classification rate.
Union Rate Identifiers
A four-letter identifier beginning with characters other than ""SU"", ""UAVG"", ?SA?, or ?SC? denotes that a union rate was prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:
PLUM0198-005 07/01/2024. PLUM is an identifier of the union whose collectively bargained rate prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. The date, 07/01/2024 in the example, is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate.
Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all changes over time that are reported to WHD in the rates
in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing the classification.
Union Average Rate Identifiers
The UAVG identifier indicates that no single rate prevailed for those classifications, but that 100% of the data reported for the classifications reflected union rates. EXAMPLE:
UAVG-OH-0010 01/01/2024. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the State of Ohio.
The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. The date, 01/01/2024 in the example, indicates the date the wage determination was updated to reflect the most current union average rate.
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January, to reflect a weighted average of the current rates in the
collective bargaining agreements on which the rate is based.
Survey Rate Identifiers
The ""SU"" identifier indicates that either a single non-union
65270.00504\44133326.4
- 103 -
rate prevailed (as defined in 29 CFR 1.2) for this
classification in the survey or that the rate was derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As a weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SUFL2022-007 6/27/2024. SU indicates the rate is a single non-union
prevailing rate or a weighted average of survey data for that classification. FL indicates the State of Florida. 2022 is the year of the survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. The date, 6/27/2024 in the example, indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. ?SU? wage rates typically remain in effect until a new survey is conducted. However, the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) has the discretion to update such rates under 29 CFR 1.6(c)(1).
State Adopted Rate Identifiers
The ""SA"" identifier indicates that the classifications and prevailing wage rates set by a state (or local) government were adopted under 29 C.F.R 1.3(g)-(h). Example: SAME2023-007 01/03/2024. SA reflects that the rates are state adopted. ME refers to the State of Maine. 2023 is the year during which the state completed the survey on which the listed classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination.
The date, 01/03/2024 in the example, reflects the date on which the classifications and rates under the ?SA? identifier took effect under state law in the state from which the rates were adopted.
-----------------------------------------------------------

AWARD OF SOLE-SOURCE CONSTRUCTION
CONTRACT TO AM-TEC TOTAL SECURITY,
INC. FOR CIP 685 – REAL TIME CRIME CENTER
Police Chief Landon Phillips
October 28, 2025
SUMMARY
• The City of Hermosa Beach secured $963,000 in
federal funding to establish a Real-Time Crime
Center (RTCC) aimed at enhancing law
enforcement response and community safety.
The RTCC will integrate cameras, servers, and
additional technology on vehicles, to provide
real-time information for public safety
operations.
With support from United States Representative Ted Lieu, the City of Hermosa Beach secured $963,000 in federal funding to establish the RTCC, which will enable officers real-time access to critical law enforcement data. Once fully
operational, the RTCC will enhance the Hermosa Beach
Police Department’s (HBPD) ability to response swiftly and effectively to criminal activity and critical incidents. RTCC technology will include a unified camera system, an
integrated operating platform, and other hardware to
access real-time information.
BACKGROUND
DISCUSSION
o A major component of the RTCC is renovating
the antiquated camera, storage and viewer
system.
o Multiple camera systems are utilized, and
significant amount of time is spend accessing all
these systems.
o Need to upgrade camera system and servers
and merge them under a modernized platform
that can sustain all cameras, new and old, in the
department.
DISCUSSION
o Staff worked with Am-Tec Total Security to recognize
strategic areas to install at intersections throughout
the City.
Provides additional support for officers in
investigations, responding to calls, and deterring
criminal activities
o Incorporate four urgently needed servers to
maintain current and future storage needs
PROCUREMENT APPROACH
o Seamless Integration – Wisenet Wave is the newest
platform recently implemented. Training was provided
to Department personnel and proven to be user-friendly
and navigable. Introducing another software system
can hinder efficiency and collaboration.
o Cost Efficiency – Wave software was one-time purchase and registrations can be transferrable. There are no
reoccurring fees compared to other vendors. Only
ongoing cost is maintenance at a quarterly basis. All
cameras have warranty and Am-Tec is responsible for
replacements if needed.
PROCUREMENT APPROACH
o Existing equipment – Am-Tec is familiarized with the
multiple camera systems and have worked on
implementing them into new Wave software. Am- Tec is aware of what is required to merge all camera systems and preliminary implementation
process.
o Consistency and Reliability – Am-Tec is very
responsive and attentive, and works closely with
management to guarantee any request at a quick
rate of time. Their understanding of the project has
gained the trust and rapport from the Department.
PROCUREMENT APPROACH
o Continuing with Am-Tec ensures that current and
future cameras will be on same software system to
better manage footage and files.
o If another vendor was selected, it would introduce
yet another camera system and affect existing
operational efficiency.
o Due to federal grant requirements, prior written
approval from COPS was required to move forward
with any contract over $250,000.
o Am-tec is the approved vendor.
FISCAL IMPACT
o The Real-Time Crime Center CIP Project 685 is included in the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget in the Fund 150 Grants
Fund
o Recommended purchase of $494,819.79 with a 10%
contingency for a total of $544,301.77.

o 18 cameras
o Mobile Command Center
o Radio equipment
o Cables and conduits
o Installation and labor

Staff Report No. 25-PW-077
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
APPROVE FOURTH AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT FOR ON-CALL CIVIL ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES WITH CIVIL WORKS ENGINEERS, INC. (CWE)
(Public Works Director Joe SanClemente)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Approve the proposed fourth amendment to agreement with Civil Works Engineers, Inc. (CWE), to provide on-call civil engineering services extending the term to December 03, 2026 and increasing the not-to-exceed contract amount from $300,000 to $530,000;
2. Appropriate $150,000 for Capital Improvement Program (CIP) 699 Parking Structure Lot C Improvements in the RTI Undersea Cable Fund 190; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the proposed amendment, approve minor modifications if necessary, and execute all related documents, with the City Clerk attesting the agreement subject to approval by the City Attorney.
Executive Summary:
At its December 17, 2019, meeting, City Council awarded a professional services agreement to CWE, to provide on-call civil engineering design services. The term for this agreement is currently set to expire on December 03, 2025. Staff requests approval of the proposed amendment to extend the term of the agreement to December 03, 2026, and increase the not-to-exceed contract amount from $300,000 to $530,000 to ensure completion of ongoing work efforts with CWE, in support of Capital Improvement Program (CIP) CIP 699 Parking Structure (Lot C) Improvements. The CWE design team is providing urgent structural assessment and design support services to address additional structural repair needs identified during construction.
Background:
The Public Works Department relies on third-party professionals to provide civil engineering design services in support of the CIP. On December 17, 2019, the City Council approved an award for a professional services agreement to CWE for $300,000 to provide on-call civil engineering services. The contract is now reaching its spending limit and will be insufficient to complete ongoing work. The term for this agreement is also currently set to expire on December 03, 2025. The contract has been previously
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3
extended; however, further extension of the term or increase in the agreement requires Council Approval.
Past Council Action
Meeting Date Description
December 17, 2019 City Council awarded a Professional Services Agreement to CWE, Inc.
Discussion:
Staff requests approval of the proposed amendment to extend the term of the agreement to December 3, 2026, and increase the not-to-exceed contract amount from $300,000 to $530,000 to ensure completion of ongoing work efforts with CWE. CWE is currently providing on-call engineering construction support services for CIP 699 Parking Structure (Lot C) Improvements. Staff requires the services of CWE, the designer of record, to provide critical ongoing construction support services for Parking Lot C, including assessment of unanticipated structural issues identified during construction, structural observations, submittal review, and responding to requests for information (RFIs) requiring specialized assistance.
The additional one-year time extension and contract funding is anticipated to be sufficient to complete the ongoing tasks pending identification of any further structural issues identified during this phase of work.
Fiscal Impact:
Approval of this amendment will extend the agreement with CWE through December 3, 2026, and increase the not-to-exceed contract amount by $230,000 from $300,000 to $530,000.
Funds for this work are budgeted in the CIP 699 Project Budget and may be supplemented from other sources including but not limited to the Public Works Administration Contract Services Account.
Staff is requesting to appropriate $150,000 in the RTI Undersea Cable Fund 190 to cover the additional contract authority. This will provide the necessary flexibility to advance urgent structural engineering support services to address unforeseen issues identified during construction.

Staff Report No. 25-CMO-069
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
UPDATE ON HOMELESSNESS EFFORTS
(Senior Management Analyst Sara Russo)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council receive and file the report.
Executive Summary:
The City of Hermosa Beach partners with local and regional agencies to provide lifechanging services to homeless individuals throughout the South Bay. As a result of a collaborative, regional effort, homeless individuals in Hermosa Beach have access to tailored services through an outreach and dispatch hotline, in-person engagement with service professionals, housing/shelter assistance, employment assistance and mental health services.
Background:
The City has taken a strategic and regional approach to address homelessness. By working with the City's regional partners at the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) and others, the City has begun to direct individuals experiencing homelessness to resources in the South Bay region. The Hermosa Beach Police Department has also been responsive to concerns and continues to actively monitor incidents while respecting the rights of homeless individuals and ensuring public safety.
Hermosa Beach has previously launched a number of ongoing initiatives to comprehensively and responsibly address the root causes of homelessness within the community. These initiatives, which are coordinated by the City Manager’s Office and funded almost entirely by partnerships and grant funding with minimal impact to the City’s general fund, include:
Housing Initiative Court: Every month, individuals experiencing homelessness can attend Housing Initiative Court to avoid prosecution for nonviolent offenses by accepting judge-mandated services that can eventually lead to placement in housing. Through the Court, which is offered in partnership with the City of Redondo Beach, people experiencing homelessness can ask a judge to dismiss their outstanding warrants issued by Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach in
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 5
exchange for their successful participation in programs and services intended to improve their mental health, provide substance abuse counseling, assist them in seeking employment and eventually help them transition into permanent housing.
The City secured funding to launch this program, which also offers onsite services for people experiencing homelessness, through a Measure H grant application. Mobile Crisis Response: The City received a $1 million federal grant from Representative Ted Lieu, for a mobile crisis response team which handled mental health and homelessness calls with trained civilians offering compassionate support. This pilot program replaced police in non-emergency situations involving homelessness and mental health needs. The program ended September 29, 2025, due to the grant period ending.
Coordinated Entry System and Regular Outreach and Engagement: The City collaborated with Los Angeles County’s Coordinated Entry System (CES) and Harbor Interfaith Services to provide essential services to those in need. The CES directly connected people with a host of services based on their individual situations. Because individuals move between the beach cites, the City employed a regional approach to provide wraparound services covering the beach cities of Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, El Segundo and Hermosa Beach. Through daily communication and quarterly meetings, the partnership addressed specific needs and hotspots across the beach cities. This program was also supported with Measure H funds secured through the SBCCOG.
Homeless Population Census: Hermosa Beach, in partnership with Redondo Beach and City Net, conducts a detailed census to improve data on homelessness and guide response efforts. This information, along with data collected from the annual Point-in-Time count by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, will be used to inform the City’s efforts and track the impacts of its existing programs and services. This program was also secured through partnership at no cost to the City.
Mental Health Evaluation Team: The Hermosa Beach Police Department works closely with local law enforcement agencies and a dedicated mental health clinician provided through the County’s Mental Health Evaluation Team (MET) to jointly manage mental health crises and homelessness issues. Safe Parking Program: The City’s FY2025 budget includes funding to explore partnerships to create a safe parking program, providing secure parking spots and on-site services for vehicle dwellers.
Functional Zero Homeless Initiative: As part of its ongoing efforts to address local homelessness and offer comprehensive support to those in need, Hermosa
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 5
Beach’s City Council has approved a partnership with the SBCCOG to join the organization’s Functional Zero Street Homelessness program, a data-driven approach aimed at reducing homelessness in the Hermosa community and across Los Angeles County. The SBCCOG’s Functional Zero program is designed to give South Bay cities a goal based on homelessness data collected and analyzed weekly. To achieve Functional Zero, the number of individuals placed in interim or permanent housing must be greater than the number of individuals who become homeless over a six-month period, and the homeless population must have a median duration on the streets of less than 90 days.
Enforcing Public Camping and Loitering Regulations: In line with the recent Supreme Court Grants Pass decision, local laws prohibit camping or sleeping in vehicles on public streets and overnight camping on the beach. Hermosa Beach also enforces laws that prevent loitering in public spaces that obstruct pedestrian movement or cause quality of life impacts.
Department of Mental Health, Universal Entry Referral: Community members can submit a form to create a referral for specialty mental health services through the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (DMH). The referral is based on information provided by the submitter. Community members who submit referrals are expected to coordinate closely with the assigned mental health team. To date, the City Manager’s office has submitted thirteen referrals. Staff will be unable to monitor these referrals due to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Beach Cities Case Management: Starting mid-October 2025, through the SBCCOG, a new provider, HERO Community Services, will begin to provide case management services for those individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the beach cities. This program is supported through Measure A funds.

March 11, 2025 The City Council waived the second reading and adopted Ordinance No. 25-1486.
September 30, 2025 Councilmember Jackson requested, and Mayor Seamann supported a future informational agenda item regarding an update on the City’s homelessness programs, funding and car camping.
Discussion:
HbCares
At its December 12, 2023 City Council meeting, City Council awarded a professional services agreement to Los Angeles Center for Alcohol and Drug Abuse (L.A. CADA) to provide mobile mental health and crisis response services due to the City being a recipient of a federal grant. With the City, L.A CADA implemented a crisis response pilot program to complement existing outreach and engagement efforts to improve outcomes for persons experiencing homelessness in Hermosa Beach.
The original grant and contract dates were set to expire September 29, 2024, however, staff applied for and was awarded a one year no-cost extension from the granting agency.
On September 29, 2025 the HbCares program ended due to lack of continued funding.
Although the HbCares program has ended, through the City’s partnership with the SBCCOG, HERO Community Services will play a vital role in ensuring momentum is maintained for those individuals experiencing homelessness in the community. This new partnership aims to provide an elaborate set of support services that will hopefully allow the City to achieve Functional Zero.
Staff will continue to apply for grant funds and will work to collaborate with other cities and the SBCCOG to seek additional Measure A funds for our homelessness initiatives for next fiscal year.
Camping Ordinance
The City Council adopted Ordinance No. ORD-25-1486 on March 11, 2025, that repealed Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (“HBMC”) sections 12.28.010(H) and 12.20.240 and added chapter 12.40 regulating camping in public areas. This Ordinance includes camping in public areas in the City (including in vehicles) and the blocking of public access by those sleeping, laying, or placing personal property in the City.
Since the adoption of the ordinance, there have been fifty-seven calls for service with the word “camping” noted in the call. Of those calls, officers issued a total of sixteen citations
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 5
and four of those calls resulted in physical arrest. The physical arrests were made to repeat offenders.
The Police Department continues responding to homelessness calls and monitoring incidents while ensuring public safety for the community. Police officers remain diligent to working with homeless individuals to provide them with outreach and check on their overall wellbeing. The police will also continue arresting or citing homelessness individuals who are repeat or egregious violators of the law or City’s municipal codes.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

Staff Report No. 25-CCO-042
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTIONS OF TITLE 2 OF THE
HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE TO UPDATE THE TERMS OF OFFICE,
APPOINTMENT, AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF CITY COMMISSIONS
CEQA: Determining the ordinance is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act
(City Clerk Myra Maravilla)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Introduce by title only and waive first reading of an ordinance (Attachment 1) titled “An ordinance of the City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach amending various sections of Title 2 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code to update the terms of office, appointment, and responsibilities of City Commissions and determining the Ordinance is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act;” and
2. Shorten the current terms of the Civil Service Board by 15 days and the Public Works Commission by four months to align all commission terms with the new end date of June 30.
Executive Summary:
The City Council appoints members to four-year terms for the City’s four commissions:
Civil Service Board;
Parks, Recreation & Community Resources Advisory Commission; Planning Commission; and
Public Works Commission.
Currently, each commission has different start and end dates (Attachment 2), requiring multiple recruitments and interviews throughout the year. To improve efficiency and consistency, staff recommends aligning all commission terms to run from July 1 to June 30 on staggered years. This will allow one annual recruitment cycle instead of several throughout the year.
Background:
The City Clerk’s office manages the recruitment and appointments for all City commissions. The current process includes:
Announcing upcoming vacancies via a City Council staff report;
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 4
Advertising openings in local media and through outreach such as social media, cable programming, and email blasts; and
Scheduling interviews and appointments by the City Council.
Due to the varying commission term dates, this process must be repeated multiple times a year, creating unnecessary workload and scheduling challenges.
In addition to updating the terms of office and appointment process for the City’s commissions, staff recommends revising Title 2 to remove references to the Design Review Board, as its duties are now part of the Planning Commission’s responsibilities and all remaining references have been deleted from the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code. Staff also recommends adding 12-inch tree removal to the Public Works Commission’s responsibilities, consistent with other sections of the HBMC, and deleting the outdated provision prohibiting members of the Hermosa Beach Community Center Foundation Board from serving on the Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission, since that Board no longer exists.
Analysis:
The City Clerk’s office is preparing for the launch of NetFile—a new system to manage online applications and commission onboarding. To ensure a seamless transition to the online platform, staff recommends first aligning all commission terms to the same new end date of June 30. to streamline its board and commission recruitments and onboarding. Before launching this system with online applications, provisions for the appointments, vacancies, absences, and terms of commission members should be aligned to enhance the efficiencies desired of this process.
The proposed term alignment is as displayed in the chart below.
Commission Current Terms Proposed Terms

Updated on October 22, 2025
ORDINANCE TO UPDATE THE
TERMS OF OFFICE,
APPOINTMENT, AND
RESPONSIBILITIES OF CITY
COMMISSIONS
October 28, 2025
Background – Appointments
The City Council appoints members to four-year
terms for the City’s four commissions:
• Civil Service Board;
• Parks, Recreation & Community Resources
Advisory Commission;
• Planning Commission; and
• Public Works Commission.
Background – Appointments Cont.
Currently, the City’s commissions are on different
cycles which:
• Requires multiple recruitments and interviews
throughout the year;
• Creates unnecessary workload; and
• Scheduling challenges.
THE PROPOSED TERM ALIGNMENT IS AS DISPLAYED
IN THE CHART BELOW:
Commission Current Terms Proposed Terms
Civil Service Board August 1 – July 31 July 1 – June 30 Parks, Recreation &
Community Resources
Advisory Commission
July 1 – June 30 No changes
Planning Commission July 1 – June 30 No changes
Public Works
Commission November 1 – October 31 July 1 – June 30
Coming Soon—NetFile
• NetFile is a new system the City Clerk’s office is working to implement to manage online commission applications,
onboarding, and required reporting.
• The Clerk’s office aims to launch this system before the next recruitment cycle.
• To ensure a seamless transition to the online platform, staff recommends first aligning all commission terms to the end date of June 30.
Civil Service Board
To align with the proposed schedule, current
terms will end June 30 instead of July 15.
• Kate Jones: June 30, 2026 (was July 15, 2026)
• Ira Ellman and Robert Wolfe: June 30, 2027
(was July 15, 2027)
• Douglas Collins and Anne Williams: June 30,
2028 (was July 15, 2028)
Parks & Rec Commission
This Parks, Recreation & Community Resources
Advisory Commission is already aligned with the
proposed terms. No changes required.
• Barbara Ellman and Traci Horowitz: June 30,
2027
• E. Thomas Moroney, Todd Tullis, and Elka
Worner: June 30, 2029
Planning Commission
The Planning Commission is already aligned with
the proposed terms. No changes required.
• Kate Hirsh and Peter Hoffman: June 30, 2027
• Stephan Izant, Michael Flaherty, and Greg
McNally: June 30, 2028
Public Works Commission
To align with the proposed schedule, current
terms will end June 30 instead of October 31.
• Janice Brittain, Scott Hayes, and David
Grethen: June 30, 2028 (was October 31, 2028)
• Thor L. Legvold and Kathy Dunbabin: June 30,
2026 (was October 31, 2026)
Planned Recruitment Schedule
• 2026: 2 Public Works Commission, 1 Civil
Service Board
• 2027: 2 Parks, Recreation & Community
Resources Advisory Commission, 2 Civil Service
Board
• 2028: 3 Public Works Commission, 2 Civil
Service Board
• 2029: 3 Parks, Recreation & Community
Resources Advisory Commission
Background—Other Updates
• Remove references to the Design Review Board, its
responsibilities are embedded in the responsibilities of the Planning Commission;
• Adding 12-inch tree removal to the Public Works
Commission’s responsibilities, consistent with other
sections of the HBMC; and
• Deleting the outdated provision prohibiting members
of the Hermosa Beach Community Center
Foundation Board from serving on the Parks,
Recreation and Community Resources Advisory
Commission, since that Board no longer exists.
Recommended Action
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Introduce by title only and waive first reading of an ordinance titled “An ordinance of the City Council of
the City of Hermosa Beach amending various
sections of Title 2 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal
Code to update the terms of office, appointment,
and responsibilities of City Commissions and
determining the Ordinance is not a project under
the California Environmental Quality Act;” and
2. Shorten the current terms of the Civil Service Board by 15 days and the Public Works Commission by four
months to align all commission terms with the new
end date of June 30.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
TENTATIVE FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
Attached is the current list of tentative future agenda items for Council’s information.
The tentative future agenda provides a preliminary preview of topics planned for discussion at upcoming City Council meetings over a specified period, typically the next three months. The items listed in this document are "tentatively" scheduled, meaning they are subject to change and should not be considered final until the official agenda for each meeting is posted. This document is a work in progress and offers a glimpse into the City's priorities and planned discussions, allowing stakeholders to anticipate and prepare for potential topics of interest.
Key Features of a Tentative Future Agenda Document:
1. Tentative Schedule: Each agenda item is assigned a tentative date, indicating when it is expected to be discussed. These dates are provisional and may be adjusted based on various factors.
2. Work in Progress: The document is continuously updated as new items emerge, priorities shift, or additional information becomes available. This flexibility ensures City Council can address the most pressing issues in a timely manner.
3. Transparency and Communication: By publishing a tentative future agenda, the City aims to maintain transparency with residents, businesses, and other stakeholders. It helps the community stay informed about potential topics of discussion and provides an opportunity for public engagement and preparation.
4. Fluid Scheduling: The scheduling of agenda items is fluid until the official agenda for a specific City Council meeting is posted. Changes can occur due to various reasons, such as new developments, additional preparatory work required, or changes in workload or priority.

Consideration of a Revocation Policy for Parking Permits Related to ShortTerm Rental Violations Initiated by: Council Direction April 9, 2024
Community

City Attorney has opined that
the connection between
residential parking permits and
short-term vacation rentals is
strained, enforcement is tough
due to the way certain
properties are held via
corporate entities, and if a
property is used as a STVR and
gets caught, banning them from
getting a residential parking
permit in the future would
seemingly vitiate future legal
use as a long term rental.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council 2025 COMPLIMENTARY HOLIDAY PARKING PROGRAM DATES
(Senior Management Analyst Ken Bales)
Executive Summary:
Consistent with Council direction at its October 14, 2025 meeting, staff will implement a 3-week complimentary holiday parking program starting on December 3, 2025 and ending on December 25, 2025 at 11:59pm, based on the information below.
City Council voted to implement a 3-week complimentary holiday parking program for 2025 and directed staff to reach out to the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce (“Chamber”) to determine the best dates for the start and end of free parking at citywide silver-pole meters. The Chamber declined to select dates for a 3-week program and maintained that the previously approved 4-week program should continue.
Background:
The City prior to the October 14, 2025 City Council meeting had requested data from the Chamber to support the implementation of a complimentary holiday parking program for 2025. Staff did not receive any data to present to the City Council in conjunction with other datasets from parking meters. City Council directed staff to implement a 3-week complimentary holiday parking program and seek input from the Chamber for the start and end of the 2025 program. The Chamber presented staff with an informal poll of businesses that showed the majority of businesses voting for the December 3rd – December 24th program dates.

HBCC Summary
Free Holiday Parking Program
10/20/25
The Chamber understands the City Council is evaluating a reduction in the duration of the free holiday parking program from four weeks to three weeks We appreciate the opportunity to provide data insights, and would acknowledge that accurate, empirical evidence directly linking free parking to downtown business sales is difficult to obtain due to limitations in available data.
Sales tax reporting is not possible to isolate December retail performance since it is not reported monthly. To compare business activity before and after the inception of free parking, we would need monthly sales data from the time before the program was implemented, which is not publicly available. Asking downtown businesses for historical sales data is not realistic, especially in large enough numbers to be statistically relevant. We can however, piece together a story from the following:
Foot Traffic Trends & Sales Tax Trends:
Using Q4 data and a Placer.ai report that the Chamber provided to the City in Sept 2024:
● Q4 total sales tax: $312K
○ $208K (downtown) + $104K (Pier Plaza)
● December foot traffic: 35% of Q4
● Extrapolated sales tax:
○ November: $100K
○ December: $109K
○ January: $81K
● Sales tax changes:
○ +9% November/December
○ -26% January
While we can’t isolate free parking as the sole driver, December sees a meaningful uptick that aligns with both shopping behavior and holiday events. The trend is consistent - downtown is most active in December, and this activity aligns with the free parking period.
Business Community Feedback:
We surveyed downtown businesses to rank their preferred 3-week free parking window. Results show from 42 responses that no single 3-week window works for everyone, emphasizing the need for the full 4-week program to accommodate diverse business models (retail, food/beverage, services).
Timeframe 1st Choice 2nd Choice 3rd Choice
Nov. 28 - Dec. 19 45% 10% 45%
Dec. 1 - Dec. 21 30% 48% 22%
Dec. 3 - Dec. 24 56% 19% 24%
Recommendation:
The Chamber recommends the City Council maintain the current 4-week free holiday parking program. This provides the most inclusive support for all types of businesses, is in alignment with the City’s economic and tourism goals, and shows a proven uptick in downtown activity during that period.
If the City is still considering a change, we respectfully request clear advance communication to our impacted businesses. We appreciate the partnership and shared goal of keeping Hermosa Beach thriving during the holiday season.
Best,
Michelle Crispin

The following are anecdotal comments from businesses who participated in our survey.
Q: Historically, have you noticed a change in sales and/or foot traffic during the holiday parking program? Please provide any information that could be helpful (i.e. sale % etc..). ● It’s a busy time during the holidays and see more people during this period. ● Yes. There is a noticeable increase in both foot traffic and sales during the complimentary parking period. While exact percentages vary year to year depending on weather and events, our store consistently sees more casual walk-ins and impulse purchases during the weeks when parking is free. The reduced parking stress clearly encourages visitors to spend more time downtown and explore multiple shops and restaurants instead of rushing in and out. It’s an important seasonal boost for small businesses like mine and helps sustain momentum during what should be our busiest time of year.
● yes, a lot of people travel during the holidays. regular clients are not coming in as often but I also get new clients coming in that are visiting. If I have more foot traffic, I only have 5 parking spots and I rely on the metered parking for the rest of my clients when my spots are full
● Yes people love that the city gives back over the holidays by offering free parking. I even let clients in LA know come by parking free all of December! It’s awesome! ● doesnt impact my business above trader joes
● Yes. We hear it over and over every year. People come to downtown Hermosa when they normally wouldn't because the parking is free.
● Yes there is a significant increase in foot traffic for shopping in the area ● our sales for December a re better by 10% thank the previous months leading up to the complimentary parking period.
● Yes guests will say I specifically shop more in Hermosa over the holidays because of the benefit of the free parking.
● I don't have specifics and there are other factors but I do believe it helps. 2
● Yes, people shop more and go out more at that period. I would say 30%+ ● do not take way the free holiday parking. please extend as ,long as possible. this is a hermosa tradition. lets not give Holiday shoppers a reason to shop elsewhere ● Yes way more foot traffic
● My salon is much busier during the holiday season and most clients that come in stay for a few hours so they are very happy with the free holiday parking. ● Yes , parking is already difficult and rates are increasing so it’s time to continue to give back to the community -who helps us thrive and supports small businesses ● in the period between black friday and xmas day, with the free parking in place, business has been consistently good over the years. i fear what would happen if it was cut short even a week, as none of those dates above make sense to that particular shopping time and what neighboring beach towns are doing.
● The holiday season is our truly make or break it season in retail. Any sort of incentive to bring folks to our shops and area is a win. While a few say they don’t rely on free parking to shop I would challenge that by asking how many people are choosing to go to large box stores and national chains because they have wide open parking? The holiday shopping season can not be limited to just 2 or 3 weeks. The holiday shopping season begins Thanksgiving and ends on Christmas Eve. Asking us to choose to only have three weeks is bad business and telling the community that the city does not value its local shop/dining places. For the past 2-3 years we’ve sat with extensive vacancy after vacancy giving the city bad PR that they are not business friendly and not helping people open up dreams in town. Being scrouges during the holiday season also shows the city is not business friendly. And yet a few in the city claim they are and even ran on their political platform they were business friendly. Such a shame to see us having to beg the city to have a bit of holiday cheer and help the business community out, My thoughts might be all over the place but that is due to the fact that it’s frustrating we have to appeal for the city to act in good cheer and faith rather than the disdain it feels like the city has at the root of all towards the business community ● The holidays are make or break for our business, aproximately 40% of our sales for the year come in November and December. Any dip in sales for these months would be extremely detrimental to our business. Retailers need the strongest holiday season possible to make their year. I can't overstate enough how important the free holiday parking program is to keep hermosa competitive and top of mind. We, the businesses and the city, need to be providing the very best experience for customers coming to 3
Hermosa. Please remember how many other places there are to shop and dine, and also that our Hermosa businesses cannot make it on sales from Hermosa locals alone, we need to attract customers from our neighboring cities. ● We see foot traffic all throughout the holiday month starting after Thanksgiving. ● Yes, 25% more traffic when parking is free
● Yes! It corresponds with our sales grately, clients LOVE having parking and it eases their stress during the holidays to buy more
● Yes. It's much more "bustling" & gives incentives to folks to run errands locally at their leisure instead of ordering online.
● No, just more difficult to find parking
● no, but as a consumer and supporter of small businesses, it does make the shopping experience so much easier.
● We are busier with the program in effect.
● We definitely notice an increase in foot traffic. November and December is where we make 40% of all our income for the year! It will really effect our next year if November and December are not good.
● The free parking helps bring people in, and keeps people on their seats ordering more as they’re not worried about finishing before their meter is up.
Q: If you have heard feedback from customers regarding the complimentary parking program, please provide some anecdotal information.
● Many of my customers have expressed how much they appreciate the ability to park for a short period of time for free during the holidays. My storefront is located at the corner of Hermosa and Pier, an area where parking is often extremely limited. Several customers have mentioned that in the past they’ve chosen not to stop by simply because they couldn’t find parking nearby. The complimentary parking program has made it easier for them to visit, shop, and explore the area without the stress of finding or paying 4
for parking—especially during such a busy season. It’s a small gesture that makes a big difference in encouraging foot traffic and supporting local businesses ● Our customers love the free parking initiative. They have stated over and over that it makes the hectic world of holiday shopping a lot easier. A lot of our clients like to pull in quickly, shop and move onto their next task. The red holiday bags get everyone excited and in the mood to holiday shop. This also shows our clients that we value them and that the city values them and that we are encouraging foot traffic to come and support Hermosa Beach businesses. Failure to do so when our neighboring cities are doing very like-minded things would really put a bad light on Hermosa Beach ● The holiday parking is a fun way to give a little back to our brick and mortar stores, it gives locals from neighboring cities incentive to pop over to shop the stores not available in their area. My shop is exclusive in Hermosa, so I depend on foot traffic from other local beach cities to shop here. The fact all the cities participate makes it easier for clients to remember to jump in their car and park outside to pop in and make a purchase.
I don’t think you should make this complicated by limiting it to 3 weeks. ● customers appreciate the complimentary parking during the holidays and it would be a shame for it to be reduced or taken away
● Yes - consistently every year. People state directly that they are inclined NOT to come shop downtown Hermosa because of the parking. When we can promote that the parking is FREE, they are then more willing to consider DTHB. The reality is downtown Hermosa is NOT a shopping destination. We are in a battle for fewer customers these days with all the surrounding cities and a revitalized MB Mall. We absolutely MUST give people every reason to think that shopping DTHB is easy and a great place to spend some time and $$$.
● Customers are always pleasantly surprised when they come to the area for there first holiday and realize they don't have to worry about parking. I would expect to see local residents a little upset that the tradition has changed. ● Yes, Our customers begin asking when it will take effect as early as October and comment on the stress is releves during the christmas shoppung period. ● It’s the right thing to do. It’s the least you can do. ● Guests love it and look forward to the gift of free parking ● Our customers expect it every year. Why are the reducing it to only 3 weeks. That seems chintzy.
5
● They like it. It's like a Christmas gift from the city and the businesses. Parking is very expensive.
● Yes everyone I have spoke to are in favor of keeping it. They all say they would be extremely disappointed if it did not happen
● My customers are always so happy to have the free parking during the holidays. They say it makes it so much easier to come to my business and relieves the stress of parking in that busy area. The clients at my salon would be upset if the free holiday parking was taken away. It’s always been such a nice thing that the city gives back to our community and definitely boosts business in the off season.
● For our annual special event, The Santa Stroll, our participants have always appreciated the opportunity to use the free holiday parking to make it easy to visit the downtown area of Hermosa Beach and participate in our annual fundraiser! ● We are largely unaffected by holiday shopping. I'm sure free is nice if they are coming anyway.
● Customers definitely comment how great it is and easy it makes running in to grab last minute gifts if they don’t have to stress about the meters. I have also over heard folks in passing say how it’s such a cute program the City offers to the community at large. ● Our customers love when the red bags go on the meters, they come in and mention it right away, they feel it's a really generous gift! When we post on social media it's always one of the most liked posts of the year. Our customers have many other options for shopping, but the red bags truly give a festive feel to downtown, and contribute greatly to a happy shopping and dining atmosphere.
● Habits are EVERYTHING!! We have residents and visitors alike who come to Hermosa during the holidays after Thanksgiving and enjoy our downtown dining, shopping, and services. Changing this pattern and not aligning with neighboring cities like Manhattan who are offering four weeks of Complimentary Holiday Parking is not a good idea. For those that want to take advantage of Black Friday, free parking is a major incentive to come to Hermosa. Holiday parties during the month of December draw customers to entertain at our restaurants before Xmas. And let's not forget those that like looking their best...our service businesses attract visitors as well. I believe we can and should advocate for the full 4 weeks. If our businesses want this program they need to weigh in by either calling, emailing or showing up in person. It will truly take a village! 6
● Everyone cherishes the time of year when parking is free and it’s one less expense they have to worry about during an already very expensive season ● This is HUGE for them, it boosts our customer base
● yes.. They come and stay in our community longer for both shopping and dining. ● While it is a nice gesture, our patients have a more difficult time finding parking & making it on time for their appointments
● It is stated by EVERY client that 4 weeks is preferable for shopping, eating, and personal care services. SHOULD BE BLACK FRI THRU XMAS EVE.
● They are very appreciative. Times are tough, groceries are high, the tariffs have really raised prices everywhere. In the past, our customers have commented how nice it is to be able to shop with peace of mind and not have to worry about getting a ticket if we are busy.
● The free parking program is always nice to have and doesn’t adversely affect our business in any way
Please share any other feedback and opinions regarding the complimentary parking program and its impact on your business.
● It’s a great program and asset to the community. Would hate to see it reduced. ● The complimentary parking program is one of the few tangible ways the City can directly support local businesses during the critical holiday season. It sends a positive message that Hermosa Beach values its small business community and wants to make downtown accessible and welcoming for shoppers. Even a short period of free parking can make the difference between someone deciding to stop in or driving elsewhere. In a time when online shopping continues to grow, removing barriers like difficult parking helps us compete and keeps spending local. I strongly encourage the City to continue — and ideally expand — this program as a proven, low-cost investment in our community’s economic vitality.
● It’s a shame that we have to fight for this every year when this was a city initiative. This is something that we are going to want every single year moving forward. I feel that if we have to choose, focusing on free parking up to Christmas Eve is the best option. 7
● It would be great to see the program go from Thanksgiving until New Years. It is also confusing if one beach city is doing 3 weeks and the others are doing more. It makes a difference.
● I really don’t think we need to be upsetting the city both business owners and local residents, making Hermosa the grinch town who took away free parking for the holidays for the sake of one week of meter money… especially when the city can’t get it together to approve planning for Beckers to have a tenant. If you want to figure out how to make money, fill vacancy’s. It’s been dead space next to my shop for 2.5 years not a great look… and you’re concerned about a week of meter parking at the slowest time of year.
Beckers is the center of Pier Av, and it’s empty. It’s basically an entire front block of darkness. Just think our survey time would be better spent looking for a tenant and making sure every shop on the street had a lovely window for passers by to enjoy and want to come back to shop : ) just a thought.
● It's a necessity. No question. We're already more challenged than our neighboring shopping districts. We have to compete with them and making the parking more appealing is a simple and decent first step.
● It has little impact on us but I believe the impact on local shops is much larger and makes holiday shopping for consumers a lot more enjoyable so that parking is not one more thing they have to be concerned with.
● the complimentary parking this is a tradition that our customers cherish as a convenience and motivation to shop locally. Our local businesses in Hermosa Beach have come to rely on the free parking period as a necessity to boost sales and survive in an increasingly business difficult environment in our city. ● The complimentary holiday parking is something that all of our guests look forward to. It also encourages a holiday spirit throughout the city. To do away with the program after all of these years would really be a shame.
● Think it should be from December 1st to December 26th. t's the least the city can do for the town that pays their salaries.
● I am late to work constantly due to lack of parking availability even though I pay for a pass. This leads to finding street parking that I have to pay every single day and if I’m unable to pay the meter in time I am often written up…. 8
● As a business owner and homeowner, I encourage complimentary parking in Hermosa Beach!
● The free holiday parking makes me and my clients feel appreciated and it definitely brightens the holiday spirit in our community. When I see the red bags on the meters it feels like a special time of year and my clients and I truly appreciate the special holiday gift that this city gives back to its businesses and visitors. I feel like it makes Hermosa Beach a great welcoming city for tourists and residents. ● The free holiday parking program makes it easier for customers to shop small and shop local by being able to quickly stop by a store or pop in without worrying about the meters.
The free holiday parking also incentivizes customers to stay in the area after their initial stop to continue supporting the local businesses.
● I saw the council work on this Tuesday. My impression, without them saying it, was that it must not be very important if no one could be in chambers to advocate for it. Dave did great on zoom! But in person is key for this one. There must be some data somewhere from one year. The data will not change year to year so one study should do it. ● Clients appreciate the parking and come downtown to shop small instead of Amazon ! Is Manhattan beach also shortening their parking tradition timelines ? ● we absolutely need the 4 weeks from 11/27-12/25. i can't imagine any of those other 3 week time frame scenarios making sense to businesses or customers alike. it would be a great detriment to my business if we didn't have it in place. everyone is watching their $, and if they have to pay the highest parking rate in hermosa, AND we have less shopping establishments than mb or rb, why would they come here?? ● The holiday parking program is a wonderful holiday tradition, a generous gift from the city to it's residents, businesses and all other customers who choose to come shop and dine in Hermosa. As such the city should be proud of and help promote how wonderful they are for giving this generous gift! We always make sure to promote it and thank the city of Hermosa Beach. Please keep 4 weeks of holiday parking on the calendar beginning Thanksgiving weekend through Christmas Day. And please consider approving this tradition for 2 or 3 years this time, so that your retailers do not have to have this fight every year. In 17 years our position on the issue hasn't changed, free holiday parking is essential to a successful shopping season downtown Hermosa. ● It's essential that we show a united front. I support 4 weeks of Complimentary Holiday Parking. If you think three weeks are going to save the city money, think again. The City 9
will find other ways to spend it and not necessarily use the funds to stimulate our commercial areas. At the last Council meeting, they approved 570k in bonuses and incentives for six staff members over the next three years. This is just the beginning.
Considering the City keeps saying we have upcoming fiscal issues and we need to make cuts. Yes, they will may cuts. The businesses and residents will feel it first. If we want to remain competitive in this environment, we need to hold the line and weigh in on that night. It will make a difference!
● The parking program is HUGE for us. It helps us maintain clients and grow our customer base. It’s a huge way to get clients to come to OUR location. ● Difficult for patients to find parking.
● The program brings new people to the city for shopping, services and food.... we see an increase in new clients during this time.
● Please give us the whole 4 weeks free parking! We need to drive business to Hermosa Beach. With Manhattan Beach offering free parking and free parking at the malls - we wont have a chance.
● I see no reason to change what hermosa did in previous years, other than a shameless cash grab by giving more parking tickets
● It helps customers take more time to shop

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
LOS ANGELES COUNTY FIRE AND AMBULANCE MONTHLY REPORT FOR AUGUST 2025
(Emergency Management Coordinator Maurice Wright)
Executive Summary:
City departments generate monthly reports to provide a snapshot of activities performed each month. Prior to the transition of fire and ambulance transport services to the County of Los Angeles, the Hermosa Beach Fire Department developed monthly response reports. After the transition, the monthly report was updated to include Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD) and McCormick Ambulance information and continues to be uploaded to the website. The following report provides details regarding services provided for the month of August 2025.
Background:
At the February 11, 2020 Council meeting, City Council requested monthly reports on the City Council agenda under consent calendar. Monthly reports began to appear commencing with the July 14, 2020 City Council agenda. The enclosed report reflects the services for August 2025.

Discussion:
The August 2025 monthly report provides an overview of services provided by LACoFD and McCormick Ambulance (Attachment—August 2025 LACoFD and McCormick Ambulance Monthly Report).
Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD)
LACoFD and McCormick Ambulance work together to provide emergency medical services (EMS) to the Hermosa Beach community. LACoFD has two apparatus stationed
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 4
at Station 100 including one assessment engine (Engine 100) staffed with a Fire Captain, a Fire Engineer, and a Firefighter Paramedic; and a paramedic squad (Squad 100) staffed with two Firefighter Paramedics. The paramedic squad (Squad 100) only responds to calls for service exclusively within the City of Hermosa Beach. It does not provide mutual aid, thereby remaining available for calls within Hermosa Beach.
Each LACoFD apparatus has the capability to provide basic emergency medical care known as Basic Life Support (BLS) to medical patients. In addition, the paramedic squad has advanced equipment, including medications, and responds from within the City to address Advanced Life Support (ALS) calls, such as a stroke or heart attack.
McCormick Ambulance is one of the emergency medical transport companies within Los Angeles County. LACoFD does not conduct patient transport; therefore, unincorporated areas are included in the fire department transport contracts with various providers.
Contract cities are responsible for negotiating and contracting with a medical transport provider for their community. Within the South Bay, many of the cities have contracted with McCormick Ambulance to conduct emergency medical transportation including the City of Hermosa Beach.
When LACoFD is dispatched, McCormick Ambulance is also dispatched as the City’s emergency medical transportation provider. LACoFD provides life-saving medical care on scene and continues ALS level care as the patient is transported to a local hospital. In the case of a BLS level call, monitoring and care are safely provided by one of the two Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) assigned to the responding ambulance.
LACoFD follows industry standards developed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), which outlines call transfer times and total response times. The NFPA standard for call transfer time is that each call will be answered within 60 seconds 90 percent of the time. Additionally, responding units are to be enroute within 60 seconds for EMS related calls and 80 seconds for structure fire calls. NFPA further stipulates that for EMS calls, responding units must arrive on scene within 8 minutes and 59 seconds 90 percent of the time.
The August 2025 call transfer report provided by LACoFD indicates that there were no calls with a transfer time longer than the NFPA standard. Staff is working with LACoFD to incorporate the South Bay Regional Public Communications Authority (RCC) call transfer time data, currently provided semi-annually, into the monthly reports. The RCC call transfer data provides information regarding each call for service from the time that the call first comes into the 9-1-1 system to the time that it is transferred to LACoFD.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 4
McCormick Ambulance
McCormick Ambulances are staffed by two EMTs who can provide and transport BLS patients independently and, with the support of LACoFD paramedics riding in the ambulance, can also transport ALS patients.
In August 2025, McCormick Ambulance responded to 81 calls for services within the City of Hermosa Beach. The August 2025 report indicated that two 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 Ambulance contract, “response time must not exceed eight (8) minutes, fifty-nine (59) seconds” for a Code 3 incident. Of the two delayed Code 3 calls, the average response time was ten (10) minutes, eleven (11) seconds with the longest single response time at ten (10) minutes, twenty-one (21) seconds.
There were no delayed Code 2 responses in August 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.
Staff reviewed the August 2025 McCormick Ambulance monthly report. The following outlines the reasons for the delayed responses:
Distance: (1) The responding crew encountered heavy traffic along the route Multiple Calls: (1) The dispatch center received multiple calls at the same time McCormick Ambulance demonstrates a continuous effort to detect and correct service level performance deficiencies by identifying the reason for delayed response times, issuing personnel performance notices when mandatory response requirements are not met and releasing personnel upon continued performance issues. McCormick Ambulance also provides training and continuing education to staff to improve skills and service delivery.
Although the emergency medical transport units arrived on scene within the allowable timeframe for 79 calls in August 2025, patients were provided timely life-saving emergency medical care on scene by Los Angeles County Fire Department paramedics.
When LACoFD arrives on scene, it takes paramedics 5 to 10 minutes to conduct the required treatment protocols prior to commencing transport with McCormick Ambulance.
During the patient treatment phase, the requested ambulance is typically on scene waiting for the paramedics to complete their treatment protocols even if the ambulance response is delayed. Los Angeles County Fire Department and McCormick Ambulance are
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 4
committed to providing excellent emergency medical care, customer service, and response to the residents and visitors of Hermosa Beach.
Fiscal Impact:
Fire and ambulance services are contracted and accounted for during the annual budget process.
