INFORMATIONAL ITEM ON THE RENAMING OF THE COMMUNITY RESOURCES
DEPARTMENT TO PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
(Community Resources Director Lisa Nichols)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends the City Council receive and file the informational item on renaming the Community Resources Department to Parks and Recreation Department.
Executive Summary:
At its September 9, 2025 meeting, Councilmember Keegan requested, with support from Mayor Saemann, staff return with an informational item regarding renaming the Community Resources Department (Department) to the Parks and Recreation Department.
At its November 3, 2025 meeting, the Parks, Recreation, and Community Resources Advisory Commission (Commission) provided input and demonstrated support on the renaming of the Department to the Parks and Recreation Department.

The Commission provided input on renaming the Department to the Parks and Recreation Department.
Discussion:
The current name of the department, Community Resources, may not accurately convey the nature of its services to the public. The department provides a wide range of recreational, event, facility, and permit-related services, and the Department name may not be immediately identifiable with those functions with the current name. The name Community Resources is unique to the City of Hermosa Beach within the South Bay region among departments that provide recreation services. Table 1 below outlines the names of departments in several neighboring South Bay cities that offer recreation services, most of which include “recreation” to more clearly communicate the services offered.

To formally change the Department name from Community Resources Department to Parks and Recreation Department, several updates would be required, including, but not limited to:
Updating the Department name throughout HBMC;
Changing the title of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Resources Advisory Commission to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, with corresponding updates throughout the HBMC;
Updating Department forms and templates;
Replacing Department signage across facilities;
Updating the Department name throughout the City website; Updating the Department name throughout Recreation software; Ordering of new Department staff uniforms;
Updating full-time and part-time job descriptions, as needed; Changing the title of the Community Resources Director to the Parks and Recreation Director with corresponding updates throughout the HBMC; Updating the Department name throughout internal systems with Administrative Services.
While the updates would be needed are primarily administrative, there would be one-time costs associated with implementing the transition, such as costs to replace Department signage across facilities and order new Department staff uniforms. Staff would seek to manage expenses within the existing department budget.
Fiscal Impact:
The estimated costs to order new Department staff uniforms is $2,000. One time costs to replace Department signage across City facilities and other administrative and or legal costs are to be determined, following completion of a full inventory and assessment of signage requiring updates.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
INFORMATIONAL ITEM REGARDING ALLOWING ALL VEHICLES TO PARK IN PUBLIC ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) PARKING SPACES.
(Environmental Programs Manager Douglas Krauss)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council receive and file this Informational Item regarding allowing all vehicles to park in public EV parking spaces.
Executive Summary:
At its August 26, 2025 meeting, Mayor Saemann proposed a future agenda item to consider allowing all vehicles, regardless of the type of fuel they use, to park in the City’s public electric vehicle charging spaces. The request was supported by Councilmember Keegan. Staff explored the background of the City’s public electric vehicle charging infrastructure, the policies that underlying the network, and the feasibility of the Mayor’s proposal.
Background:
The City of Hermosa Beach has a history of promoting EV charging. The City currently has 34 publicly-accessible EV chargers and 26 chargers for its own fleet (Attachment 1).
As described in the City’s General Plan, PLAN Hermosa, promoting the use of EVs and increasing access to EV charging for our community are key City goals.
On November 29, 2022, during a discussion of the City’s various sustainability incentive programs, City Council directed staff to begin charging public EV charger users for both meter and electricity fees. Historically, these fees were not charged to promote the use of EVs.
Due to the age of the City’s EV charger inventory, staff was unable to immediately implement the charging of fees at public EV chargers. Staff determined it would be more practical to replace almost all the chargers citywide to allow the charging of fees, provide more reliable equipment, ensure a comprehensive maintenance plan, and to standardize the disparate equipment and networking options currently in place.
Staff began developing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for qualified companies to procure and install the chargers citywide for both public use and the City’s fleet needs. This would
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3
include a five-year operations and maintenance program and all necessary networking software and support to be able to monitor energy usage and fee payments. The RFP would also require prospective bidders to perform due diligence to ensure existing infrastructure was adequate for installation of new equipment. A key requirement of the RFP is that proposals should result in no new costs to the City and shall include a comprehensive maintenance agreement
Three chargers, installed and managed under an existing agreement with the vendor, would be excluded as they are in good condition and can be adapted to collect fees under the same schedule as the proposed agreement. Staff expects to release the RFP soon and installation completed before summer of 2026.
Discussion:
Per the California Vehicle Code 22511a, the City may designate City-owned and operated parking stalls and spaces as an EV stall or space by resolution or ordinance. Though the City currently has signage at its public EV spaces designating them as exclusively for EVs, the City did not adopt a resolution nor ordinance codifying these spaces as exclusive for EVs. Consequently, the City is not currently able to enforce EV-only restrictions on these spaces. Should Council choose to continue using these spaces as EV-only, a resolution or ordinance must be adopted specifying this exclusivity. Ultimately, the Council has the authority to designate these spaces as they see fit.
There are a number of factors to be considered in making a decision on allowing all cars to park in EV spaces:
1. Such a policy would likely prevent the City from procuring a “no-cost” agreement for replacing EV chargers citywide (as described above). Potential vendors rely on their earnings from the EV charger fees to amortize their costs for such a project, including procurement, installation and ongoing maintenance. Allowing non-EV vehicles to park in these spaces may result in the City having to replace its current public EV chargers at its own expense. This cost is estimated to be approximately between $200,000 - $400,000.
2. The benefit to parking availability would be small. There are nearly 2,000 meteredparking spaces in the City’s Coastal Zone. The 34 public EV charging spaces affected by the proposed policy, are distributed at various locations throughout the City and, would account for less than 2% of that total parking inventory, thus not offering a significant addition of parking options.
3. The proposed policy would further reduce the ability for visitors with electric vehicles to find charging locations as there are limited options (e.g., private property charging) available beyond these public spaces.
4. This would set a potentially confusing precedent as there are no other local agencies that offer such a parking option. Staff was unable to find an example of any other agency that offers such a policy.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 3
5. If the Council wanted to free up the current spaces designated for EV charging, it may be more efficient and cost effective to just eliminate public EV chargers.
If the spaces are to remain restricted to EV use, Council may want to consider adopting a resolution or ordinance to make the restriction enforceable.
Fiscal Impact:
Should Council choose to proceed with making all public EV parking spaces available to all vehicles regardless of fuel type, staff would need to change the signage at all public locations. This would cost roughly $2000 in materials and staff labor. As mentioned above, this change would also likely require the City to fund its own replacement of public chargers at an estimated cost of $200,000 - $400,000.

INFORMATIONAL ITEM REGARDING
ALLOWING ALL VEHICLES TO PARK IN
PUBLIC ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) PARKING
SPACES
BACKGROUND
• August 26, 2025 Mayor proposed a future
agenda item
• PLAN Hermosa includes a number of goals
related to providing and expanding EV
charging infrastructure both for emissions
reductions and social and economic
objectives
BACKGROUND
• Vehicle code allows EV spaces to be
designated exclusively for EVs
• City has not codified this exclusivity and can
bring a resolution to do so
• Council has authority to designate spaces as
they see fit
CONSIDERATIONS
• Allowing all cars to park in these spots would
prevent City from securing a vendor to proved
no-cost replacement of chargers citywide
• Staff has prepared an RFP for this purpose to replace all aging public and fleet chargers
• Replacement required to allow charging for energy
use as directed by Council
CONSIDERATIONS
• Benefit to parking would be insignificant. Of nearly
2000 parking spaces in Coastal Zone, only 34 are
EV spaces
• Would greatly affect ability of residnets and visitors to charge EVs
• Create confusion as Hermosa would be only
jurisdiction to allow such a policy
• Overall eliminate effectiveness of public EV
charging

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
APPROVE THE PROPOSED TREE REPLANTING PLAN FOR VALLEY PARK AND
THE GREENBELT
(Public Works Director Joe SanClemente)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Approve the tree replanting plan for Valley Park and the Greenbelt (Attachment 3);
2. Authorize an increase of $15,000 to the annual project contingency for the landscape maintenance services contract with Merchants Landscape Services, Inc., increasing the total annual contingency from $50,000 to $65,000 for the remainder of the contract; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to approve contract amendments up to the amount of the revised contract contingency.
Executive Summary:
Staff proposes planting up to 52 new trees to replace the 26 trees that have been removed from Valley Park and the Greenbelt (Attachment 1). In July 2025, the City released a public statement that ten (10) dead, dying, or diseased trees at Valley Park were slated for immediate removal to ensure public safety. Eleven (11) trees were removed as part of that work effort and staff, with assistance from the City’s landscape contractor and arborists, identified fifteen (15) additional trees that posed a safety risk and were removed.
Staff proposes replacing the removed trees at a 2 to 1 ratio using species selected by the City’s certified arborists to suit the specific conditions of each site (Attachment 2).
Staff is seeking a $15,000 increase in the contract spending authority with Merchants Landscape Services, Inc. to cover this additional work and ensure there is adequate spending authority remaining to address other as-needed services.
Background:
On July 23, 2025, the City released a public statement announcing the immediate removal of ten (10) dead, dying, and diseased trees at Valley Park during the week of July 28,
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 5
2025 to mitigate risk of limb loss or tree failure, and ensure public safety, and that the replacement with 20 trees would be discussed at the Public Works Commission. These ten (10) trees were removed due to poor health conditions and their proximity to locations where recent tree failures had occurred; one (1) additional tree was also removed due to proximity of the dead trees and structural integrity, posing potential safety risks in areas frequently used by the public. All trees were carefully inspected for the presence of actively nesting birds before the work proceeded; none were found. The removals were prompted by three (3) incidents in which large branches fell within the park. While no injuries were reported, staff proactively conducted a detailed inspection of the park to address any remaining hazards.
Concurrent with removal efforts for the first 11 trees, staff worked closely with the City’s landscape contractor Merchants Landscape Services, Inc., their arborist, and the City’s independent arborist to conduct a detailed inspection throughout Valley Park and along the Greenbelt, which identified fifteen (15) additional trees requiring removal. The tree removals were completed outside of the normal tree trimming schedule (October through January) due to the urgency to protect public safety in the busy parks. The decline in health of these 26 trees is attributed to multiple factors, including oversaturation of turfed areas that weakened root systems, species unsuited to site conditions, close planting spacing that suppressed growth, and infestations such as the Dotted Paropsine Leaf Beetle affecting eucalyptus trees.
Replanting Plan
Staff developed a replanting plan assuming a 2 to 1 replacement ratio. The City’s certified arborist prepared a list of tree species appropriate for replanting at Valley Park and the Greenbelt, considering both turf and non-turfed conditions (Attachment 2). Staff reviewed these options and selected the tree species, and identified locations, reflecting the recommendations best suited for each site’s conditions, long-term tree health, and maintenance requirements (Attachment 3). The proposed tree locations were selected near the areas of removal, to the greatest extent possible, with adjustments made to ensure proper spacing and site suitability; although staff is recommending alternative locations for some of the trees due to the tight existing tree canopy coverage and need for trees at other locations in the City. In some cases, replanting a new tree directly at a removal site is not feasible due to residual root systems or conflicts with utilities. For example, replanting a new tree at the former Ficus tree site, in front of the Rotary Club on Valley Drive, is not recommended because of the root zone impacts and proximity to overhead utilities.
One (1) of the removed trees is a palm tree located in front of the Community Center, for which staff does not recommend replacing with a similar 20-foot palm due to the high cost of approximately $8,000 and history of this species not doing well in this location. Instead, staff recommends replanting two trees of a different species selected from the City’s
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 5
certified arborist tree list at an alternate location as identified in the proposed planting plan.
Public Works Commission
At the September 17, 2025 Public Works Commission meeting, staff presented the tree replanting plan for review and consideration. The Commission was supportive of staff recommendations for the tree replanting plan, with the exception of one tree, near the intersection of Valley Drive and Gould Avenue, that could potentially obstruct vehicle sightlines. In response, staff adjusted the plan by relocating the proposed tree from that intersection to an alternative location.
Parks and Recreation Commission
Staff presented the revised tree planting plan at the Parks, Recreation, and Community Resources Advisory Commission meeting on October 7, 2025 for additional review and consideration. The Commission expressed support for the proposed plantings and provided a number of comments regarding potential future uses of Valley Park, including areas identified in the Bark for a Park report for a possible dog park, the area used for Shakespeare in the Park, the sandy hill on the west side of the park, and existing pathways along the Greenbelt. Staff reviewed these comments and confirmed that the suggested dog park areas did not overlap with any of the proposed planting sites. In response to the feedback regarding potential conflicts with Shakespeare in the Park and the sandy hill, six trees originally proposed for Valley Park were replaced with six new locations along the Greenbelt between 8th Street and Herondo Street.
During public comment, a resident offered to donate four Torrey Pines and two Medallion trees to the City to support the replanting efforts. The City’s certified arborist reviewed and approved the tree species and proposed locations.

Discussion:
The Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Chapter 12.36 only provides requirements for replacement of parkway trees and does not directly address replanting requirements for trees in City parks or medians; however, staff has generally followed the 2 to 1 replacement ratio for the replacement of trees in parks where possible. The proposed replanting plan utilizes a 2 to 1 planting ratio that would result in 52 replacement trees.
Attachment 3 details the proposed replanting plan, for consideration by City Council, that was developed by staff with input from the Public Works Commission and the Parks and Recreation Commission.
The City intends to retain a licensed tree contractor to source and plant the replacement trees which is estimated to cost $450 to $850 per tree, for a 24-inch box size tree, depending on the tree species, resulting in an anticipated overall cost of approximately $20,700 to $39,100 to plant 46 trees. The remaining 6 trees, pledged for donation are smaller than the 24-inch box size and will be planted by City crews.
Landscape Maintenance Contract
Citywide tree maintenance is overseen by the Public Works Department and is completed by the City’s contractor, Merchants Landscape Services, Inc., who is responsible for the care of approximately 1,800 City-owned trees located in City parks, parkways, and center medians. The City continues to conduct additional inspections of City maintained trees at other locations throughout the City and may lead to further tree removals.
The removal of the twenty-six (26) trees totaled approximately $15,000. A portion of the removals, specifically the dead trees, were covered under the base landscape maintenance contract with Merchants Landscape Services, Inc., while the diseased and declining trees required additional work beyond the scope of the existing contract and were paid through the contact contingency. At its May 24, 2022 meeting, the City Council awarded the landscape maintenance services contract to Merchants Landscape Services, Inc. in the amount of $2,173,789 for a four-year term beginning July 1, 2022, and ending June 30, 2026, with an option to extend for one additional year. As part of this action, the Director of Public Works was authorized to establish a $50,000 annual contingency over the contract term, to cover as-needed landscape work, and the City Manager was authorized to approve contract amendments up to the amount of the approved project contingency. Given the added costs associated with the diseased tree removals and the ongoing tree care needs, staff recommends increasing the annual project contingency by $15,000 to ensure adequate funding is available to complete the necessary work while preserving flexibility for other as-needed landscape services under the contract. The Public Works Department regularly relies on this contingency amount to complete as-needed work.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 5
Fiscal Impact:
The FY 25-26 City adopted budget includes $80,000 for trees and as-needed tree services in the Public Works Administration budget; this is sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement trees and the requested increase in the contract contingency for Merchants Landscape Services, Inc.
Staff will transfer $15,000 from the Public Works Administration budget to the Parks Contract Services account to accommodate the corresponding $15,000 increase in the annual contingency (from $50,000 to $65,000) for the Merchants Landscape Services, Inc. contract, to cover the additional costs associated with the removal of diseased trees.
The increase in contingency ensures Public Works has the necessary flexibility to complete as-needed services under the existing contract during the fiscal year.

Staff Report No. 25-PW-088
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
PURCHASE OF VEHICLES FOR THE CITY FLEET
(Public Works Director Joe SanClemente)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Authorize the purchase of one Class C Aerial (Bucket) Truck with Service Body for a total amount of $286,826 from PB Loader Corporation via the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Program (Contract No. 080521-PBL) to replace a 2003 Chevrolet 6500;
2. Authorize the purchase of one Ford Super Duty F-250 with Service Body for a not to exceed amount of $75,000 from National Auto Fleet Group via the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Program (Contract No. 091521), or other Cooperative Purchasing Program, or on equal or better terms through purchase from a dealership as vehicles become available, to replace a 2019 Ford F-250;
3. Authorize the purchase of a Toyota Sienna XLE Hybrid, for a not to exceed amount of $57,100 from the Manhattan Beach Toyota through a Cooperative Purchasing Program, or on equal or better terms through purchase from a dealership as vehicles become available, to replace a 2014 Ford Explorer;
4. Add estimated revenue of $45,912 in the Equipment Replacement Fund;
5. Appropriate $51,196 to the Public Works Lighting/Landscaping/Medians Equipment Replacement Fund to cover the purchase and estimated outfitting costs of the Ford Super Duty F-250; and
6. Appropriate $63,600 to the Police Department Equipment Replacement Fund for the purchase and estimated outfitting of the Toyota Sienna.
Executive Summary:
The Public Works Department is seeking to replace three vehicles in the City fleet. The Public Works Department requires replacement of two essential fleet vehicles, including the 2003 Chevrolet 6500 aerial bucket truck, which has exceeded its useful life and has required more costly repairs to maintain certification to allow for safe operation, and a 2019 Ford F-250 service truck that was recently declared a total loss after a crash. These vehicles support critical maintenance functions and replacements are needed to meet ongoing operational demands. The Police Department requires replacement of a Detective Bureau (DB) vehicle, a 2014 Ford Explorer, that has previously been identified
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 5
for replacement as it was approaching the end of its useful life, but was recently damaged beyond repair.
Staff recommends purchase of the bucket truck through a cooperative purchase agreement. Due to ongoing supply-chain constraints, which have limited availability of the F-250 Pick-up Truck and Toyota Sienna (DB vehicle), staff requests procurement flexibility, including authorization for a Cooperative Purchase Agreement, or a purchase on the same or better terms through a dealership, subject to availability.
Background:
The Public Works Department manages its fleet across City departments in accordance with the City’s Equipment Replacement Schedule and annual condition assessments, evaluating factors such as age, mileage, maintenance history, cost-effectiveness, safety, and operational needs. The City is in need of replacement of three vehicles, including two for the Public Works Department and one for the Police Department.
Public Works Department:
The City’s aerial bucket truck has been in service for more than twenty years and has reached the end of its useful life. Timely replacement of the aerial bucket truck and service truck is essential to sustaining reliable field operations. The aging aerial truck is experiencing escalating maintenance costs, to maintain the required annual certifications necessary for safe operations and it has become increasingly difficult to source parts for its 20-year-old platform. These constraints limit the City’s ability to perform critical infrastructure functions, including streetlight repairs, facility maintenance, and emergency response. With only one bucket truck in the Public Works Department fleet, it is essential that this vehicle is ready and available in good and safe working condition, particularly during times of emergency or inclement weather.
The Department’s 2019 Ford F-250 service truck was recently damaged in a crash and declared a total loss and is in need of urgent replacement to support ongoing operational demands.
Police Department:
The Police Department also relies on a properly equipped fleet to support daily patrol and investigative functions. A vehicle assigned to the Detective Bureau was recently damaged beyond repair in a car accident, requiring staff to repurpose a patrol unit and reducing the number of vehicles available for regular patrol coverage. The loss of the Detective Bureau (DB) vehicle has disrupted investigative operations and reduced the availability of patrol units needed for frontline response. The DB conducts specialized investigative and surveillance activities that require a dedicated, unshared vehicle. Redirecting a patrol unit for DB use diminishes patrol capacity, increases wear on remaining units, and limits operational flexibility, particularly with the Department operating at full staffing levels.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 5
A properly equipped replacement vehicle will restore the DB’s ability to conduct uninterrupted investigative work while keeping patrol vehicles available for core public safety duties. A dedicated replacement is necessary to avoid operational delays and ensure the Department’s ability to conduct covert surveillance and investigative work.
Discussion:
Staff recommends purchasing a bucket truck from PB Loader Corporation via the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Program (Contract No. 080521-PBL) to replace the 2003 Chevrolet 6500 (Attachment 1). The $286,826 purchase price is lower than the anticipated cost of $310,630 that was included in the FY 2025-26 budget for this vehicle.
The Ford F-250 replacement vehicle for Public Works is currently available through a Cooperative Purchase Agreement from National Auto Fleet for approximately $75,000, which includes the necessary outfitting. While the Cooperative purchase agreements typically provide the most competitive pricing for vehicles, staff was able to find the same vehicle, and outfitting, at South Bay Ford for just $69,000 which would provide a better value for the City, although the availability is not guaranteed (Attachment 2). Staff is seeking sole source approval to purchase the F-250 from a dealership, but also seeking flexibility to purchase from a Cooperative Purchase agreement, for a not to exceed price of $75,000, should the vehicle no longer be available following Council approval. The notto-exceed limit provides for an approximate 10-percent contingency.
The Toyota Sienna XLE Hybrid replacement vehicle for the Police Department is not currently available through Sourcewell, or the California Department of General Services, Cooperative Purchasing Programs, due to high regional demand. Staff contacted several dealerships and was able to obtain quotes from three local dealerships that had availability and determined that Manhattan Beach Toyota offered the lowest available price at $51,550 (Attachment 3). Staff is seeking approval to purchase from a Cooperative Purchase agreement, or in the alternative from a dealership on the same or better terms, for a not to exceed price of $57,100, should the vehicle no longer be available following Council approval.
Per Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Section 3.12.140(E), purchases made through cooperative purchasing agreements, maintained by state, county, or other public agencies, are exempt from the City’s formal bidding procedures, allowing the City to expedite the procurement process while ensuring competitive pricing received in a formal bidding procedure completed by another public agency. And where such goods, services, and supplies can be obtained on the same or equal terms from another source, competitive bidding is not required because it would confer no advantage on the City.
Environmental Analysis:
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), as the purchase of replacement vehicles will not
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 5
result in a significant environmental impact. Staff evaluated the procurement in accordance with the City’s Clean Fleet Vehicle Purchasing Policy, California Air Resources Board (CARB) guidance, and South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 1191. While electric and alternative-fuel technologies are advancing, commercially viable zero-emission aerial trucks that meet Public Works’ operational requirements are not yet available, and current production timelines and charging infrastructure limit immediate deployment. Staff confirmed that available vehicle options meet applicable CARB and SCAQMD requirements for this procurement.
The City has received confirmation from CARB that it has met its current Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Milestone requirement and is in compliance; therefore, a ZEV purchase exemption is not required for these service vehicles. Staff will continue to monitor cleantechnology advancements and reassess electrification opportunities during future replacement cycles as viable options become available.
Fiscal Impact:
The total projected cost for the three vehicle replacement purchases and related outfitting is $425,426. Projected costs are estimated to cover potential price fluctuations due to supply-chain conditions and pricing and availability adjustments.
Public Works Department:
The proposed Public Works vehicle acquisitions is estimated to cost up to $361,826. This would cover both the vehicle purchase and outfitting for the aerial bucket truck for $286,826 and up to $75,000 for the Ford F-250 Super Duty truck. Staff is anticipating receiving $45,912 in insurance reimbursement proceeds from the 2019 Ford F-250 to apply towards its F-250 Super Duty replacement.
Currently, the FY 2025-26 adopted budget includes $310,630 for the Bucket Truck replacement in the Public Works Lighting/Landscaping/Medians Equipment Replacement Fund. The $286,826 purchase price of the bucket truck is lower than the budgeted Bucket Truck purchase by $23,804.
Staff is requesting to apply the $23,804 remaining budget from the Bucket Truck purchase savings and an additional $51,196 appropriation to cover the estimated purchase and related potential price fluctuations of the Ford Super Duty F-250.
Staff intends to apply the anticipated $45,912 insurance reimbursement from the final total-loss evaluation for the damaged 2019 service truck to cover the $51,196 additional appropriation. Staff would add the corresponding $45,912 as estimated revenue to the Equipment Replacement Fund for the insurance reimbursement proceeds.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 5
Police Department:
The total cost for the proposed Police Department Toyota Sienna purchase and outfitting is estimated to cost up to $63,600. The purchase price of the Toyota Sienna is estimated to be $57,100 which includes a contingency, subject to pricing and availability adjustments. The necessary outfitting and accessories are estimated at approximately $6,500.
Staff is requesting an appropriation of $63,600 from available Equipment Replacement Fund fund balance to purchase and outfit the Police Department Toyota Sienna.

Staff Report No. 25-CMO-081
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.

strained, enforcement is tough
due to the way certain

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
LOS ANGELES COUNTY FIRE AND AMBULANCE MONTHLY REPORT FOR OCTOBER 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 October 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 October 2025.
Past Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
February 11, 2020 City Council requested monthly reports on the City Council agenda under consent calendar.
July 14, 2020 Monthly reports began on City Council consent agenda.
Discussion:
The October 2025 monthly report provides an overview of services provided by LACoFD and McCormick Ambulance (Attachment—October 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 at Station 100 including one assessment engine (Engine 100) staffed with a Fire Captain,
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 4
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 October 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.
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.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 4
In October 2025, McCormick Ambulance responded to 61 calls for services within the City of Hermosa Beach. The October 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, thirtynine (39) seconds with the longest single response time at ten (10) minutes, fifty-three (53) seconds.
There was two delayed Code 2 responses in October 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. Of the two delayed Code 2 calls, the average response time was sixteen (16) minutes, twenty-eight (28) seconds with the longest single response time at sixteen (16) minutes, forty-five (45) seconds.
Staff reviewed the October 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: (3) 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 57 calls in October 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 committed to providing excellent emergency medical care, customer service, and response to the residents and visitors of Hermosa Beach.
