Staff continues to monitor the service trends to ensure the highest level of services for our community.

Background:

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

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

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

Analysis
Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD) Calls for Service

Page 13 of 874 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 5
The South Bay Regional Public Communications Authority, known as RCC, is the initial public-safety answering point (PSAP) for police and fire services within the City of Hermosa Beach. When RCC receives a call for service, the dispatcher collects critical data including name, phone number, address, and nature of the emergency. For police related incidents, RCC continues to gather additional information from the caller and dispatches police personnel as necessary. For fire related incidents, the critical data is collected, and the caller is transferred to the Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD) dispatch center. Once received, a LACoFD dispatcher gathers all information needed to dispatch fire and EMS personnel. Total call time begins when the call is initiated with RCC to the arrival of units on scene. Attachment 1 provides the RCC call transfer time data for July through December 2025.

Table 1 below shows that from July through December 2025, Los Angeles County Fire Department. Los Angeles County Fire Department defines average response time as the time that the first-arriving units, which excludes the Lifeguard units, are enroute and arrive at each incident and includes emergency and non-emergency calls.

Dear City Council Please consider the list of fiscal.challenges below: 1. CAPITAL BUDGET DEFICITS :

Hermosa Beach faces a sobering reality: Over $50 million in high-priority unfunded Capital Improvement Projects including $20M for a new City Yard, $10-15M+ for a renovated Police Station, $5-15M for deferred maintenance on the Old Civic Center building and $10M for essential Pier and City Hall upgrades. Note: A new Hb Police station could cost substantially more than the $10-15M listed above. Most of these projects have existed for years without clearly identified funding strategies, reliable cost estimates or realistic project timelines This was understandable as staff was instructed to focus on completing funded projects. But our new City Manager has been on the job for about a year and its time for him to present budgetary estimates, funding strategies and project timelines for the the above projects in the upcoming April & May budget planning sessions. The honeymoon is over and council elections are upon us. 2. OPERATING DEFICITS: Compounding our capital budget problems is a projected $14.2M operating budget deficit by 2031. On top of this, Mayor Detoy signaled that the new Fire & Lifeguard contracts add more to this deficit and could threaten the city’s solvency in the next few years. The consider operating expenditures are growing at three times the rate of revenue according to the Hermosa Review newsletter. See attached graph. 3. NEW PIER AFFORDABILITY: Some members of our city council insist we "must" build a new pier despite construction and financing costs estimated at $80-90M, with an additional $60M in maintenance through 2070. IMV to reestablish fiscal credibility the City must prove it can make hard choices today:

One choice sticks out, do we really need a new pier and if so what are we willing to give up for it? 4.

NEW SALES TAXES: Should residents expect to see another sales tax increase initiative this November? Thats $3M in much needed revenue but at least 1/2 of that will fall on the backs of local residents. 5.

SHORT TERM RENTALS; Some members of the City Council are advancing a narrative that Short-Term Vacation Rentals (STVRs) in residential neighborhoods and the 14% Transient Occupancy Tax it brings are an essential to solving the city's ongoing fiscal problems. Maybe we have no choice but to embrace STVRs in our residential neighborhoods; but i fear that in the city's rush to cash-in it will propose and accept ineffective & unenforceable resident quality of life protections. The worry is will effective resident quality of life protections be viewed an impediment to filling city coffers? Maybe a resident will be lucky enough to live live next to a responsible SVTR owner or maybe not. Its a ****- shoot. We MUST have effective and enforceable quality of life protections NOW; with enforcement fully paid for by STVR owners. Also, if the City is serious about revenue, will they hold previously unregistered STVR property owners accountable for back TOT taxes? 7. COMPETING VISIONS: We are also at a crossroads of two potentially competing visions. One vision calls for a steady diet of large

Page 38 of 874 ends

special events, international tourism and with a high dose of expensive restaurants paired with a vibrant rowdy nightlife to attract tourism and the bar crowd. The competing vision strives preserve a safe, family-friendly coastal community with great schools that highlights participatory outdoor sports like surfing, swimming and beach volleyball, dog walking and spirit lifting shoreline walks. This second vision could easily fall prey to a voracious business district and Chamber of Commerce appetites angling to cash-in on large special events like the Nike 1/2 Marathon or the Triathlon that have substantial impacts that spill into residential neighborhoods. Given our fiscal realities, can these two competing visions of Hb coexist in a small 1.4 sq mi city; and if so how is this best accomplished? 7. A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE: Can a 1.4 square-mile city survive the weight of its own bureaucracy or is the only sustainable long term solution a public to public partnership with MB or RB? Should staff be asked to eliminate their own jobs if a public partnership with another city is in the best interests of our residents? The answers are way above my pay-grade but I'm very interested in what residents and the council think given the magnitude of the fiscal problems the choices the city is facing. Free Tip: By way of thinking outside of the box as Councilman Saemann suggested; If the over-riding goal is tourists and you want a quick draw while attracting some State and National attention, then drop the puritan ethics ethics and allow some topless beaches that will surly bring in more young folks with money than hot air balloon rides. We own our beach!

Beach House Hotel (1300 The Strand, cross streets Beach Drive/14th Street) is fully supportive of the Marathon and the positive impact it has on the community; however, we have significant concerns about the proposed route. As shown on the map, the 12,000 runners would pass directly through Beach Drive—our Front Drive, the hotel’s main entrance, our valet parking garage, and the primary pedestrian path for guests and local patrons on foot or bike. We do not see a scenario in which this works if Beach Drive is blocked to vehicles, guests, and the community for approximately seven hours, 4pm–11pm on a Saturday night. This raises several operational questions and safety concerns: • How would guests arrive or depart the property • How would we valet incoming vehicles or retrieve cars for departing guests • How would we safely manage pedestrian flow for guests and the public Given the volume of runners and the duration of the closure, this route would severely disrupt hotel operations and guest access. We propose an alternative route other than Beach Drive that supports the Marathon while maintaining safe and functional access to the hotel and surrounding businesses. for PUBLIC COMMENT in CITY COUNCIL 4/14/2026 5:00:00 PM Please log into eSCRIBE to review the submitted comment(s).

Dear City Council, The city is facing an unprecedented fiscal crisis with $50M+ in unfunded urgent capital projects and a projected operating budget deficit of $14.2M by 2031. It only gets worse when you consider calls for a new $100M pier and a new fire contract that Mayor Detoy claims could bankrupt the city. That brings us to pickle ball membership and fees. AI: In affluent, upper-middleclass neighborhoods, membership at private pickleball clubs typically involves an initiation fee ranging from $150 to $1,250 and monthly dues between $120 and $250 for individuals. Hourly court fees for non-members or low-tier members in these areas generally range from $25 to $50 per hour, though some premier locations can exceed $100 per hour If you choose not to commit to a full membership, costs are generally structured per person or per court hour.  Standard Hourly Rentals: In affluent areas like West Hollywood or Sherman Oaks, private court rentals typically cost $30 to $50 per hour.

Pickleball is not popular with teenagers and young children. It's primarily played by well to do residents and their friends AND they must be asked to contribute solving our fiscal crisis. for RECISSION AND RECONSIDERATION OF PICKLEBALL RESERVATION AND MEMBERSHIP FEES - 26- PR-019 in CITY COUNCIL 4/14/2026 5:00:00 PM

Clarification to my previous written communication. i am all for the city funding and subsidizing youth recreational programs like baseball & basketball or senior citizen Lawn Bowling at clark field. But IMV pickleball costs must be fully recovered by membership fees and hourly court rentals given the magnitude of the City's fiscal problems.

Dear City Council. Pease do not let the Nike 1/2 marathon turn our residential neighborhoods inside out and upside down If Redondo wants a massive Nike 1/2 marathon special event there is nothing to prevent hermosa residents who want to participate from doing so. Please note in addition all the previously announced road closure impacts along hermosa ave and the strand there was a new wrinkle added to the event. 27th street and Gould adjacent to Valley Park was added as a last minute bidirectional road that will close these highly trafficked roads ~4pm to 10pm on event saturday. i guess the silver lining for some is the saturday night bar crowd will be turned away. tonyhiggins for APPROVAL OF IMPACT LEVEL III NEW SPECIAL EVENT – AFTER DARK TOUR LA 2026 - 26-PR-016 in CITY COUNCIL 4/14/2026 5:00:00 PM

Dear City Council The Public Works department seems to be completing more projects at a faster clip than in years past. That said, related to 4/14 CCM Agenda 15f. [ADA Sidewalk Improvements] someone needs to ask why Public Works need a 20% contingency fund on a project involves the reconstruction of 11 curb ramps and 419 square feet of existing sidewalk along Monterey Boulevard. This is seems like arelatively straight forward project. There should be a very specific explanation of why a 20% contingency fund is required in the staff report. Was a 20% contingency fund part of the proposals we received or added by public works? And the fact that this explanation wasn't included in the staff report or questioned by the council calls into question the fiscal prudence of both. I believe we have a situation where Director and City Manager performance reviews and compensation are tied to completing of a certain percentage of projects on-budget. But excessive project contingency funds may mean that almost any project will be considered completed on-budget. When on-budget project performance is a key metric in evaluating staff performance then excessive project contingency funds can inflate both performance evaluations and compensation. I hope the council and city manager will squarely address this matter.

Dear Mayor and City Council, The Chamber has met with the Nike After Dark team twice and are encouraged by their vocal commitment to engage Hermosa businesses as part of the event. Feedback from our local business community has been positive, and there’s enthusiasm around the opportunity this event presents. With the right activations in place, we believe it can be a strong highlight for the City while driving meaningful foot traffic to our businesses. Based on these conversations, the Chamber supports moving forward with the event. We look forward to working with the Nike After Dark team to ensure local businesses are actively integrated and that the event delivers real value to the community. ~ Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau for APPROVAL OF IMPACT LEVEL III NEW SPECIAL EVENT – AFTER DARK TOUR LA 2026 - 26-PR-016 in CITY COUNCIL 4/14/2026 5:00:00 PM

Dear Mayor and City Council, On behalf of the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, thank you for your efforts to establish a clearer framework for special events on the beach and for recognizing the importance of creating opportunities for local businesses, including the proposed discounted vendor fee for Hermosa Beach businesses. We see real potential in allowing vendor sales in connection with approved special events. With the right structure, this policy can strengthen events, support local businesses, and enhance the overall visitor experience in Hermosa Beach. That said, the success of this program will depend on thoughtful implementation. From the Chamber’s perspective, the key question is not simply whether vendors are allowed, but whether the program is designed to support the year-round businesses that already invest in and sustain our local economy. To that end, we respectfully request that the City Council direct staff to incorporate the following as the policy moves forward: - Local-first preference for Hermosa Beach businesses in vendor selection, building on the City’s proposed discounted vendor fee for local businesses - Reasonable limits on outside vendors offering products already sold by nearby brick-and-mortar businesses - Event design requirements that actively drive foot traffic into Pier Plaza and surrounding commercial areas - Clear connection between beach activity and economic benefit for existing local businesses We also recommend that the City approach this as a pilot program, with post-event feedback and business impact reporting to evaluate whether the policy is achieving its intended outcomes. Thank you for your consideration and for your continued support of Hermosa Beach’s business community. We appreciate the opportunity to provide input and look forward to continued collaboration on policies that strengthen both our events and our local economy. ~ Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau

Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council, As a longtime resident of Hermosa Beach, I am writing about an incident I recently became aware of that, to my knowledge, still has not been addressed publicly. I do not usually involve myself in city politics, but this is serious enough that I felt compelled to speak up. I understand that Councilmember Raymond Jackson reportedly used homophobic and derogatory language in council chambers when referring to the City Manager as another councilmember’s “butt buddy.” I am embarrassed to even have to repeat those words in this letter.

Councilmembers may disagree, and residents understand that public service can involve friction. But this is not simply a disagreement between elected officials. If that statement was made, it involved derogatory language directed at a city employee who serves in a subordinate role to the Council. That is altogether different. It is disrespectful, harmful to morale, and unworthy of public office. I respectfully ask that this matter be addressed publicly. If the statement was made, Councilmember Jackson should apologize to the City Manager and to the community. If there is any dispute about what was said, then the City Manager should clarify the facts so the public has an accurate understanding of what occurred. My hope is not to prolong this matter, but to see it handled properly so the city can move forward with honesty, decency, and respect for its staff. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Michell Oddell

Dear City Council, The chamber's dirty secret is that these high impact special events and late night bars are a financial loser for the city & home owners of Hermosa and as such they are essentially business district subsidies at a time we should be looking at our fiscal challenges and cutting costs. Im sorry but if we start selling westside residental quality of life to fill city coffers and subsidize out of town business interests its a slippery slope. The city hasn't done an analysis business revenue versus total direct and indirect costs since in more than 10 years and given our fiscal challenges that is inexcusable. Take the Nike event the chamber is also promoting. The bottom line for me is there is absolutely nothing preventing Hermosa residents from enjoying the benefits of participating in this event or cheering people on IN REDONDO BEACH. We dont need to turn our residential neighborhoods inside out. Nike is offering what... 80k to our general fund for city coffers? Nike says they will also cover the city's direct staff and hbpd costs but what about the indirect costs like all city staff time already spent studying, negotiating and planning for this event? Those costs are not covered. If thats included the Nike contribution likely doesnt even cover the city costs. Its a net loser.

And please dont tell me that the benifts will trickle back to the city in the form of TOT and sales taxes. I have not heard one city official stand up and say I can verify Nike's fiscal benefit analysis. Will our City Manager? Has anyone on the council asked him? Bottom line - if the Chamber is looking for the city and homeowners to subsidize special events and the bar district then keep the negative impacts off our beaches and out of the residential neighborhoods. tonyhiggins for INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 12.30 SPECIAL EVENTS ON PUBLIC PROPERTY, 12.20.300 SOLICITATION AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH A SPECIAL EVENT PER-VENDOR DAILY FEE - 26-PR-003 in CITY COUNCIL 4/14/2026 5:00:00 PM

NO to racism, bigotry and hate. I want to remind the good people of Hermosa Beach that voting matters. Your vote is important. We cannot stay silent while political leaders and government officials project racism, bigotry, and hate in our community. Council members and the City Manager, where is your dignity? Councilmember Ray Jackson, I know what it feels like when a bigot in our community degrades and harms one of our children. It happened to my child too. It happened in this community, at the hands of men in this community. Now your child has had to feel this pain. Ray, I am so sorry that you have had to experience this abuse; our family stands with you and yours. This behavior cannot be tolerated. It should not be accepted or allowed in our community. These incidents are a reminder that we still live in a community where racism and bigotry are tolerated. It’s an embarrassment, and it needs to end. Where is your dignity? I call on the City Council and the City Manager to develop and implement new policies and practices to eradicate racism, bigotry, and hate in governance and operations. Hold individuals and these behaviors accountable. Formally proclaim to our residents how you will guarantee that all members of our community will be treated with respect and dignity, especially our children. We live in a strong and caring community, and now is the time for all residents to come together, once again and speak out. We all need to demand change and action. I am calling on the people of Hermosa Beach to communicate with the City Manager and the City Council members to demand change. We cannot tolerate any behavior from the City or Government that promotes racism, bigotry, or hate. I agree with you and stand with you, Councilmember Ray Jackson: “Leadership requires integrity, accountability, and respect. Racism has no place in the leadership of our city. Hermosa Beach deserves better.” for PUBLIC COMMENT in CITY COUNCIL 4/14/2026 5:00:00 PM Please log into eSCRIBE to review the submitted comment(s).

Dear Mayor Detoy and City Council, Thank you for the opportunity to provide input on the informational item regarding a potential bid package for the production of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Fiesta Hermosa. We appreciate the City’s partnership on this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade - it made a real difference, and we’re grateful for the support. We also recognize the City’s efforts to ease some of the indirect costs tied to Fiesta Hermosa, which has helped keep the event viable. But Fiesta Hermosa is not just another event - it is the Chamber’s primary source of funding. For over 50 years, the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce has produced Fiesta Hermosa. This is not simply an event we participate in, it is an event the Chamber created, built, and has continuously managed for decades.

It has become one of the most recognized traditions in Hermosa Beach, and that continuity matters.

The institutional knowledge, relationships, and operational experience behind Fiesta are the result of long-term stewardship, not something that can easily be transferred or replicated. Equally important is the role Fiesta plays in sustaining the Chamber itself. As a nonprofit, the Chamber relies on Fiesta Hermosa as its largest and most critical revenue source. The funds generated from Fiesta directly support our ability to serve Hermosa’s business community - through marketing, advocacy, economic development efforts, and year-round programs that drive visibility and activity for local businesses.

Unlike many Chambers, including some of our neighboring cities, we do not receive direct, ongoing operational funding from the City to carry out this work. In many communities, Chambers are funded through formal contracts or dedicated tourism dollars to support economic development and business services. If Fiesta Hermosa were removed from the Chamber, the impact would be immediate and significant. It would fundamentally reduce our capacity to operate and to deliver on our mission. In practical terms, it would mean fewer resources, fewer programs, and less support for the very businesses the City is working to strengthen. We understand the City’s desire to evaluate different approaches to event production. However, removing Fiesta from the Chamber would not be a neutral operational change - it would have direct consequences for the local business community due to the loss of the Chamber’s primary funding source. We believe the best path forward is to maintain the current structure, rather than separating the event from the organization that has sustained it for more than five decades. We remain committed to collaboration and to ensuring Fiesta Hermosa continues to reflect the character of our community while supporting the businesses that make Hermosa Beach what it is. ~ Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau for INFORMATIONAL ITEM REGARDING CONSIDERATION OF A BID PACKAGE FOR PRODUCTION OF THE ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARADE AND FIESTA HERMOSA - 26-PR-010 in CITY COUNCIL 4/14/2026

Dear Mayor, Council Members, and Staff - I respectfully ask that the Willdan Engineering Agreement be pulled from the consent calendar for a brief discussion. I understand the department has been working through workload demands, staffing transitions, and evolving process requirements, and outside support is appropriate. My concern is simply that this item appears to be more than a routine contract amendment and would benefit from a few follow up questions in open session. The proposed increase is significant. The amendment would raise the annual NTE amount from $200,000 to $450,000 and increase the total five year contract authority from $1,000,000 to $2,250,000. Given the size of that increase and our current midyear budget concerns, I believe it is essential as well as helpful for the public and Council to ask a few questions before approving it. 1. How much of this contract is being used for specialized technical plan review versus broader staff augmentation and continuity of operations? 2. What baseline performance data does the City have today on turnaround times, resubmittals, inspections, and customer service, and how will Council measure whether this additional spending is improving outcomes? 3. To what extent are these costs truly offset by application, plan check, and permit fee revenue, and is the City relying on this contract as a short term bridge or as part of a longer term operating model? 4. How does this amendment fit into the larger plan for staffing stability, process improvements, and public facing updates, including the delayed open house and the Accela portal changes? I believe a short discussion on these questions would strengthen transparency, give Council helpful context, and support better public understanding. Pulling the item from consent would not signal opposition to the contract or to staff. It would simply recognize that this is an important operational and fiscal matter that deserves a few clarifying questions. As always, I appreciate your thoughtful consideration. Laura Pena

Beach House Hotel (1300 The Strand, cross streets Beach Drive/14th Street) is fully supportive of the Marathon and the positive impact it has on the community; however, we have significant concerns about the proposed route. As shown on the map, the 12,000 runners would pass directly through Beach Drive—our Front Drive, the hotel’s main entrance, our valet parking garage, and the primary pedestrian path for guests and local patrons on foot or bike.

We do not see a scenario in which this works if Beach Drive is blocked to vehicles, guests, and the community for approximately seven hours, 4pm–11pm on a Saturday night. This raises several operational questions and safety concerns:
• How would guests arrive or depart the property
• How would we valet incoming vehicles or retrieve cars for departing guests • How would we safely manage pedestrian flow for guests and the public Given the volume of runners and the duration of the closure, this route would severely disrupt hotel operations and guest access.

We propose an alternative route other than Beach Drive that supports the Marathon while maintaining safe and functional access to the hotel and surrounding businesses.

Thank you for your consideration.

Staff Report No. 26-CDD-044
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council

APPROVAL OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT WITH WILLDAN

ENGINEERING FOR ON CALL DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW AND STAFF

AUGMENTATION SERVICES
CEQA: Determine the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act. (Community Development Director Alison Becker)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Determine the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA);

2. Approve the proposed first amendment to the agreement with Willdan Engineering for on call development plan review and staff augmentation services to increase the annual not to exceed amount by $250,000, for a revised annual not to exceed amount of $450,000, for the remainder of the existing contract term. (Attachment 1);

3. Approve a revised total not to exceed contract amount of $2,250,000 over the full five year term of the agreement with Willdan Engineering; and

4. Authorize the City Manager to execute the proposed first amendment, approve minor modifications if necessary, and execute all related documents, with the City Clerk attesting the amendment subject to approval by the City Attorney.

Executive Summary:

The City of Hermosa Beach relies on third party professional service providers to supplement development plan review and staff augmentation services on an as needed basis in order to maintain timely and technically proficient review of permit applications and related development projects. The agreement with Willdan Engineering has been integral to ensuring that the City’s development review process remains responsive to current conditions, staffing needs, and service demands.

Historically, the Willdan Engineering agreement was used primarily to provide development plan review services. As the Community Development Department’s needs have evolved, the agreement has also been used to provide staff augmentation services to address vacancies, respond to increased workload, and support continuity of

Page 100 of 874 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 5
operations. This flexibility has helped the Department remain nimble and responsive while continuing to meet the City’s development review needs.

As part of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 to 2026 Midyear Budget Review on March 24, 2026, City Council approved a $157,000 increase to the Contract Services budget. This included covering on call development plan review and staff augmentation services for the remainder of current FY 2026. This first amendment is being brought forward to ensure alignment with that approved budget increase. If approved, the annual not to exceed amount of the Willdan Engineering agreement would increase by $250,000, from $200,000 to $450,000, for the remainder of the existing contract term, and the total not to exceed contract amount over the full term of the agreement would increase to $2,250,000.

Background:

The City of Hermosa Beach Community Development Department relies on third party professional service providers to supplement staffing and development plan review services on an as needed basis. Similar to many smaller jurisdictions, the Department does not maintain in house plan review engineers, fire life safety specialists, and other technical reviewers needed to perform the full range of building and development plan review functions. As a result, the City depends on third party service providers to assist with staff vacancies, supplement operations during periods of increased demand, and maintain timely and technically proficient review of permit applications and related development projects.

On September 9, 2025, City Council approved a professional services agreement with Willdan Engineering for on call development plan review and staff augmentation services at an annual not to exceed amount of $200,000 for a five year term ending September 30, 2030. Over the full life of the agreement, the total not to exceed contract amount was $1,000,000. The agreement was intended to provide the City with flexibility to respond to fluctuating permit volumes, project complexity, staffing vacancies, and operational support needs.

On March 24, 2026, City Council approved an increase to the Contract Services budget for remainder of FY 2026 on call development plan review and staff augmentation services through the FY 2026 Mid Year Budget Review. This first amendment is being brought forward to ensure alignment with that approved budget increase.

Since approval of the agreement, the Community Development Department has continued to rely on Willdan Engineering for plan review across multiple disciplines and related staff augmentation services. The contract has also been used to address staff vacancies and support continuity of operations during periods of transition and increased workload. This ability to respond to current conditions and staffing needs has been integral to maintaining a responsive development review process and ensuring that the Department continues to meet service expectations. The proposed first amendment is

Page 101 of 874 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 5
intended to provide sufficient contract authority to continue these services for the remainder of the existing contract term.

Past Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
September 9, 2025 City Council approved a professional services agreement with Willdan Engineering for on call development plan review and staff augmentation services
March 24, 2026 City Council approved an increase to the Contract Services budget for on call development plan review and staff
augmentation services through the Fiscal Year 2025 to 2026 Mid Year Budget Review
Analysis:

The Community Development Department continues to rely on qualified third party professional service providers to provide development plan review services and to supplement staffing on an as needed basis. These services are important to help address staff vacancies, respond to increases in workload, and maintain timely and technically proficient review of permit applications and related development projects. Because the City does not maintain in house plan review engineers, fire life safety specialists, and other technical reviewers needed to perform the full range of development plan review functions, outside consultant support remains necessary to maintain continuity of operations and service levels.

The agreement with Willdan Engineering has been integral to ensuring that the City’s development review process remains responsive to current conditions and staffing needs.

While the agreement historically served primarily as a plan review services contract, its use has expanded to also provide staff augmentation support to address vacancies, respond to workload demands, and maintain continuity of operations. This flexibility has allowed the Community Development Department to remain nimble and responsive as operational demands have evolved.

Since approval of the agreement with Willdan Engineering on September 9, 2025, the Community Development Department has continued to experience demand for outside plan review assistance and staff augmentation support. As reflected in the Fiscal Year 2025 to 2026 Mid Year Budget request, the City does not have in house plan reviewers, streamlining requirements have increased review workload in order to meet required timelines, and the Department has experienced staffing needs that have further increased the need for consultant support. On March 24, 2026, City Council approved an increase to the Contract Services budget for on call development plan review and staff augmentation services through the Fiscal Year 2025 to 2026 Mid Year Budget Review.

Page 102 of 874 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 5
This first amendment is being brought forward to ensure alignment with that approved budget increase.

Willdan Engineering has demonstrated the technical expertise, responsiveness, and available staffing necessary to continue supporting the City’s development review functions. The proposed first amendment is intended to provide sufficient contract authority to continue services for the remainder of the existing contract term. The agreement was originally approved at up to $200,000 annually for a five year term ending September 30, 2030, for a total not to exceed contract amount of $1,000,000 over the life of the agreement. If approved, the proposed first amendment would increase the annual not to exceed amount by $250,000, resulting in a revised annual not to exceed amount of $450,000, and a revised total not to exceed contract amount of $2,250,000 over the full term of the agreement. Approval of the proposed amendment will allow the Community Development Department to continue utilizing Willdan Engineering on an as needed basis to supplement staffing, address vacancies, and respond to increased demand for plan review and related services through the balance of the contract term.

Fiscal Impact:

The proposed first amendment would increase the annual not to exceed amount of the Willdan Engineering agreement from $200,000 to $450,000 for on call development plan review and staff augmentation services. This will increase the total not to exceed contract amount over the full five year term of the agreement from $1,000,000 to $2,250,000.

As development applications are brought forward to Community Development, increases in plan review service costs are offset by application, plan check, and permit fee revenues.

As part of the FY 2026 Midyear Budget Review on March 24, 2026, City Council approved a $157,000 increase to the Community Development contract services budget which included covering on call development plan review and staff augmentation services for the remainder of the fiscal year. The midyear budget increase is supported by salary savings from a recent associate planner vacancy and a budgeted intern position that will not be filled. This first amendment is being brought forward to ensure alignment with that approved budget increase.

Staff will continue to monitor consultant service activity and expenditures to ensure the agreement is used on an as needed basis, remains aligned with operational needs and approved budget authority.

INDEMNIFICATION. CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend with counsel approved by CITY (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), and hold harmless CITY, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers from and against all liability, loss, damage, expense, and cost (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with CONSULTANT's negligent performance of work hereunder or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this AGREEMENT, regardless of CITY’S passive negligence, but excepting such loss or damage which is caused by the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of the CITY. The CONSULTANT shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against the CITY (and its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers) covered by this indemnity obligation. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this Agreement.

For all services that include, as defined by Cal Civ Code § 2782.8, design professional services, all provisions, clauses, covenants, and agreements contained in, collateral to, or affecting any such services, and amendments thereto, that purport to indemnify, including the duty and the cost to defend, the indemnitee by a design professional against liability for claims against the indemnitee, are unenforceable, except to the extent that the claims against the indemnitee arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the design professional.

The requirements as to the types and limits of insurance coverage to be maintained by CONSULTANT as required by Section 17, and any approval of said insurance by CITY, are not intended to and will not in any manner limit or qualify the liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by CONSULTANT pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, to the provisions concerning indemnification.

CONSULTANT will be free to contract for similar service to be performed for other employers while under contract with CITY. CONSULTANT is not an agent or employee of CITY and is not entitled to participate in any pension plan, insurance, bonus or similar benefits CITY provides for its employees. Any provision in this Agreement that may appear to give CITY the right to direct CONSULTANT as to the details of doing the work or to exercise a measure of control over the work means that CONSULTANT will follow the direction of the CITY as to end results of the work only.

AUDIT OF RECORDS. CONSULTANT agrees that CITY, or designee, has the right to review, obtain, and copy all records pertaining to the performance of this Agreement. CONSULTANT agrees to provide CITY, or designee, with any relevant information requested and will permit CITY, or designee, access to its premises, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours for the purpose of interviewing employees and inspecting and copying such books, records, accounts, and other material that may be relevant to a matter under investigation for the purpose of determining compliance with this Agreement.

CONSULTANT will be given a reasonable amount of time as determined by the City to implement said corrective measures. Failure of CONSULTANT to implement required corrective measures shall result in immediate termination of this Agreement.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.

A. The CONSULTANT, at the CONSULTANT’s own cost and expense, shall procure and maintain, for the duration of the contract, the following insurance policies:

1. Workers Compensation Insurance as required by law. The Consultant shall require all subcontractors similarly to provide such compensation insurance for their respective employees. Any notice of cancellation or non-renewal of all Workers’ Compensation policies must be received by the CITY at least thirty (30) days prior to such change. The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against the CITY, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by the CONTRACTOR for City.

2. General Liability Coverage. The CONSULTANT shall maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. If a commercial general liability insurance form or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to the work to be performed under this Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit.

3. Automobile Liability Coverage. The CONSULTANT shall maintain automobile liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of the CONSULTANT arising out of or in connection with the work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles, in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit for each occurrence.

4. Professional Liability Coverage. The CONSULTANT shall maintain professional errors and omissions liability insurance for protection against claims alleging negligent acts, errors, or omissions which may arise from the CONSULTANT’S operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by the CONSULTANT or by its employees, subcontractors, or subconsultants. The amount of this insurance shall not be less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) on a claims-made annual aggregate basis, or a combined single-limit-peroccurrence basis. When coverage is provided on a “claims made basis,” CONSULTANT will continue to renew the insurance for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated. Such insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this Agreement, and will cover CONSULTANT for all claims made by CITY arising out of any errors or omissions of CONSULTANT, or its officers, employees or agents during the time this Agreement was in effect.

B. Endorsements. Each general liability, automobile liability and professional liability insurance policy shall be issued by a financially responsible insurance company or companies admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California, or which is approved in Docusign Envelope ID: 38752416-ACCB-44A9-AAF8-AC428A71CB32

Page 115 of 874 ends

City of Hermosa Beach

Page 5 of 9 ends

writing by City, and shall be endorsed as follows. CONSULTANT also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.

1. “The CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the CONSULTANT, including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations.”

2. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. Any insurance maintained by the CITY, including any self-insured retention the CITY may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with this policy.

3. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company.

4. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, or agents.

5. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to the City, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers.

6. The insurance provided by this policy shall not be suspended, voided, canceled, or reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days written notice has been received by the CITY.

C. CONSULTANT agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss against Contractor arising out of the work performed under this agreement. CITY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve CITY.

D. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the CITY.

At the CITY’s option, the CONSULTANT shall demonstrate financial capability for payment of such deductibles or self-insured retentions.

E. The CONSULTANT shall provide certificates of insurance with original endorsements to the CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein. Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with the CITY on or before commencement of performance of this Agreement. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with the CITY at all times during the term of this Agreement.

F. Failure on the part of the CONSULTANT to procure or maintain required insurance shall constitute a material breach of contract under which the CITY may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11 above.

G. The commercial general and automobile liability policies required by this Agreement shall allow City, as additional insured, to satisfy the self-insured retention (“SIR”) and/or deductible of the policy in lieu of the Consultant (as the named insured) should Consultant fail to pay the SIR or deductible requirements. The amount of the SIR or deductible shall be subject to the approval of the City Attorney and the Finance Director. Consultant understands and agrees that satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement. Failure by Consultant as primary insured to pay its SIR or deductible constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Should City pay the SIR or deductible on Consultant’s behalf upon the Consultant’s failure or refusal to do so in order to secure defense and indemnification as an additional insured under the policy, City may include such amounts as damages in any action against Consultant for Docusign Envelope ID: 38752416-ACCB-44A9-AAF8-AC428A71CB32

Page 116 of 874 ends

City of Hermosa Beach

breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages incurred by City due to the breach.

USE OF OTHER CONSULTANTS. CONSULTANT must obtain CITY’s prior written approval to use any sub-consultants while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must include approval of the proposed consultant and the terms of compensation.

FINAL PAYMENT ACCEPTANCE CONSTITUTES RELEASE. The acceptance by the CONSULTANT of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of the CITY from all claims and liabilities for compensation to the CONSULTANT for anything done, furnished, or relating to the CONSULTANT’S work or services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of the CITY’S check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by the CITY shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of the CONSULTANT, its employees, sub-consultants and agents for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by the CITY for any defect or error in the work prepared by the Consultant, its employees, sub-consultants and agents.

CORRECTIONS. In addition to the above indemnification obligations, the CONSULTANT shall correct, at its expense, all errors in the work which may be disclosed during the City’s review of the Consultant’s report or plans. Should the Consultant fail to make such correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction shall be made by the CITY, and the cost thereof shall be charged to the CONSULTANT. In addition to all other available remedies, the City may deduct the cost of such correction from any retention amount held by the City or may withhold payment otherwise owed CONSULTANT under this Agreement up to the amount of the cost of correction.

NON-APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. Payments to be made to CONSULTANT by CITY for services preformed within the current fiscal year are within the current fiscal budget and within an available, unexhausted fund. In the event that CITY does not appropriate sufficient funds for payment of CONSULTANT’S services beyond the current fiscal year, the Agreement shall cover payment for CONSULTANT’S services only to the conclusion of the last fiscal year in which CITY appropriates sufficient funds and shall automatically terminate at the conclusion of such fiscal year.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 1 of 3
Meeting Date: April 14, 2026
Staff Report No. 26-AS-029
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council FISCAL YEAR 2024–2025 ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT AND

SINGLE AUDIT REPORT (INCLUDING INDEPENDENT AUDITOR REPORTS) (Finance Manager Henry Chao)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends the City Council receive and file the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024–2025 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) (Attachment 1) and the FY 2024–2025 Single Audit Report (Attachment 2), which includes the reports from Gruber and Lopez, Inc., the City’s independent auditors.

Executive Summary:

The purpose of this report is to present the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) and Single Audit Report for fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.

The City received an unmodified (“clean”) opinion on the financial statements in the City’s ACFR. The unmodified opinion is the highest-level opinion the City can receive. The opinion asserts that the City complies with all Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) requirements.

The City’s ACFR also includes the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting award from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for the prior fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The City has received the award from GFOA since 1990 in recognition of publishing a high quality ACFR. The FY 2024–2025 ACFR was submitted to GFOA with the expectation of receiving this award again.

The City also received an unmodified (“clean”) opinion on the Single Audit as well. The City was required for FY 2025 to complete an additional Single Audit due to expending more than $750,000 in Federal awards.

ACFR Background:

Annually, the Administrative Services Department prepares and publishes the City’s ACFR following the completion of a financial audit performed by an independent, Certified Public Accountant (CPA) firm. The independent CPA firm is Gruber and Lopez, Inc.

Page 138 of 874 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3
The ACFR, previously known as the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, is designed to assist the reader in properly understanding the City financial statements covering City activities from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025. This is accomplished by supplementing the financial statements with background on the City structure, the environment the City operates in, and the types of services the City of Hermosa Beach provides. It also provides an analysis concerning the City’s financial and economic situation along with relevant multi-year economic and demographic information.

The basic structure and contents of an ACFR are set by authoritative accounting and financial standards. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) sets the ACFR standards. Pursuant to GASB, the City’s ACFR is divided into three sections:

Introductory, Financial, and Statistical.

The Introductory section contains a Letter of Transmittal. This letter includes a brief overview of the City, economic outlook, financial planning, and relevant policies. The Introductory section also includes the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for the prior fiscal year ACFR.

The Financial section contains the independent CPA auditor’s report, Management’s Discussion & Analysis (MD&A), and the basic financial statements (including notes). The firm of Gruber and Lopez, Inc. issued an unmodified (“clean”) opinion on the financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. This means that its examination, testing, and audit procedures allowed them to conclude that the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the City. This is the best opinion that the City can receive from its auditors.

The MD&A provides an objective and easily readable analysis of the City’s financial activities and results of operations. The MD&A also provides an analysis of general fund budgetary variations, condensed comparative information between the 2024 and 2025 fiscal years and a discussion of currently known facts, decisions or conditions of future significance.

The Statistical Section is the final section of the ACFR. This section presents operational, economic and historical City data that provides a context for assessing the City’s economic condition. The data includes information on financial trends, revenue capacity, debt capacity, City demographic and departmental operating information.

Single Audit Background:

The Single Audit Act of 1984 established a standardized and uniform audit process for non-Federal entities that receive and expend Federal funds (grants) to administer various Government programs and initiatives. The type of audit created by the Single Audit Act is commonly referred to as a Single Audit.

Page 139 of 874 ends

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 3
The purpose of the Single Audit is to help ensure the accountability and integrity of Federal programs. This audit includes an audit of both the City’s financial statements and compliance with Federal program requirements.

The City was required for Fiscal Year 2025 to have a Single Audit conducted since the City expended more than $750,000 in Federal funds. The City expended $842,470 of Federal Funds from a combination of Federal programs received from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Department of Justice, Department of Treasury and the Department of Health and Human Services per the Single Audit Report (Attachment 2).

This threshold increased from $750,000 to $1,000,000 for Fiscal Year 2026. If the City expends less than $1,000,000 in Federal awards by the end of this Fiscal Year 2026, the City would be exempt from the Single Audit requirements. However, the City will make its accounting records available to the City auditors for review as required.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with receiving and filing the ACFR and Single Audit.

At its March 24, 2026, meeting, City Council approved the revisions to estimated revenue, appropriations, budget transfers and fund balances presented at the FY 2025–26 Midyear Budget Review.

Staff previously recommended City Council approve a transfer $317,833 of unspent funds from 2024-2025 actuals to the Insurance Fund to bring the fund to the $3.0 million funding goal and transfer the estimated remaining $2,239,276 unspent funds from FY 2024–2025 to support the development of the FY 2026–2027 budget.

At the end of 2024-2025 the City’s audited FY 2024-2025 unspent funds in the General Fund was $2,387,718 net of presented fair market value. Staff performed a transfer from the 2024–2025 General Fund unspent funds of $317,833 to the Insurance Fund and assigned the remaining $2,069,885 unspent funds from FY 2024–2025 to support the development of the upcoming FY 2026–2027 budget.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council and Citizens of Hermosa Beach, California:

Introduction
Presented herein is the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) of the City of Hermosa Beach for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. The report is intended to update readers on the status of the City’s financial position and results of operations for the past fiscal year.

Management's representations concerning the finances of the City of Hermosa Beach are contained herein.

Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the City of Hermosa Beach has established an internal control framework that is designed both to protect the government's assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City of Hermosa Beach’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City of Hermosa Beach’s framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.

Audit
The City of Hermosa Beach’s financial statements have been audited by Gruber and Lopez, Inc., a firm of licensed certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City of Hermosa Beach for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion that the City of Hermosa Beach’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditors’ report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.

GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis. This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the Management Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) and should be read in conjunction with it. The City’s MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditor.

Profile of the Government
The City of Hermosa Beach is a beachfront,
bedroom community with a stable
population, located four miles south of Los
Angeles International Airport. The City
occupies 1.4 square miles and serves a
population of 19,014, according to the
State’s latest population estimate.

However, as a beach city, the City
experiences a high visitor population and
the associated costs. Due to this high visitor
population, the City operates in many
ways like a larger city. During the 2024–25
fiscal year, beach attendance ranged from a
low of 51,650 in November 2024 to a high
of 536,000 in July 2024, according to the Los
Angeles County Fire Department,
Lifeguard Division.

The City of Hermosa Beach, incorporated on January 14, 1907 as a general law city, operates under the Council-Manager form of government. Policy-making and legislative authority are vested in a governing council consisting of five members of the City Council elected on a non-partisan basis at large for a fouryear term. Council members serve staggered terms, with an election every two years. One member is chosen by fellow members to serve as Mayor for a period of approximately nine months; one is chosen to serve as Mayor Pro Tem.

The Council is responsible for, among other things, establishing policy, passing ordinances, adopting an annual budget; appointing members to various City Commissions and Boards and hiring the City Manager and City Attorney. The City Manager is responsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances of the City Council, for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the government, and for appointing the heads of the various departments.

The City offers a full range of municipal services, including police, fire protection (provided by Los Angeles County beginning December 30, 2017), community development (planning and zoning), cultural, recreation and parks, public works (maintenance and construction of public improvements), parking and animal control, and general administration. Financial information for the Lighting and Landscaping District, the Lower Pier Avenue Assessment District and the Myrtle Avenue, Loma Drive, Bayview Drive, and Beach Drive Utility Underground Districts are included in the City's financial statements as required by governmental accounting standards.

Selected information from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Quick Facts is shown on the following page.

Page 149 of 874 ends

vii
The U.S. Census Bureau Quick Facts are as of February 2026. Further data regarding the City may be found in the Statistical Section.

The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City of Hermosa Beach’s financial planning and control. All departments of the City of Hermosa Beach are required to submit revenue estimates and requests for appropriations to the Administrative Services Director according to a budget calendar. The Administrative Services Director and City Manager use these requests as the starting point for developing a proposed budget, which is presented to the City Council for review by May 15. At least one public budget workshop is held prior to the required public hearing, with adoption required no later than June 30. If the City Council fails to adopt a budget by that date, the budget submitted by the City Manager, as amended by the City Council, if applicable, is the appropriated budget except for capital improvement outlays. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund and department (e.g., Police Department). The City Manager may make transfers of appropriations between departments within each fund; transfers of appropriations between funds, however, require the approval of the City Council. The City Council receives monthly revenue and expenditure reports during the year and a midyear budget review is conducted after the first six months of the fiscal year to ensure estimates are on target. Budget-to-actual comparisons are provided in this report for each individual governmental fund for which an appropriated annual budget has been adopted.

Factors Affecting Financial Condition
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021. The City received $4,621,755 in federal funds in two payments. ARPA funds include the following eligible uses:

1. To respond to the public health emergency with respect to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID19) or its negative economic impacts, including assistance to households, small businesses, and nonprofits, or aid to impact industries such as tourism, travel, and hospitality; or

2. To respond to workers performing essential work during the COVID-19 public health emergency by providing premium pay to eligible workers of the State, territory, or Tribal/local government that are performing such essential work, or by providing grants to eligible employers that have eligible workers who perform essential work; or

3. For the provision of government services to the extent of the reduction in revenue of such State, territory, or Tribal/local government due to the COVID-19 public health emergency relative to revenues collected in the most recent full fiscal year of the State, territory, or Tribal government prior to the emergency; or

4. To make necessary investments in water, sewer, or broadband infrastructure.

The covered period for eligible expenditures is March 21, 2021 to December 31, 2024. Costs can be obligated by December 31, 2024, but must be expended by December 31, 2026. The City fully expended its allocation of ARPA funds in 2023–24.

Local economy. Hermosa Beach is a “bedroom community” as evidenced by a household count of 8,934 and an in-city business count of 687 (excluding apartments and home occupations).

Growth in secured and unsecured valuation for Hermosa Beach is 4.9 as compared to 4.8 percent for Los Angeles County. The 4.9 percent growth was the 20th highest of 88 cities in Los Angeles County.

The table below shows the comparison of median home prices between Hermosa Beach and Los Angeles County.

Median Home Prices Average Home Prices
June 30, 2025 June 30, 2024 June 30, 2025 June 30, 2024 Hermosa Beach $ 2,275,000 $ 2,400,000 $ 2,686,680 $ 2,945,130 Los Angeles County $ 975,000 $ 960,000 $ 1,389,636 $ 1,387,557 General Fund Secured Property Taxes increased 4 percent in 2024–25, consistent with growth in assessed values. Historically, property adjacent to the beach has held its value better and has grown faster as compared to property in the other areas.

As a beach city, the three highest occupations are management, sales, and advertising/marketing.

Residents typically enjoy access to a much more diverse employment base with the proximity of all the other cities in Los Angeles County. The unemployment rate in Hermosa Beach as of June 2025 is 4.7 percent, compared with 5.9 percent for Los Angeles County and 5.8 percent for California. The rate for Hermosa Beach is higher than June 2024’s rate of 3.6 percent while the County and State rates of 5.9 percent and 5.2 percent, are stable.

Accounting changes. In 2014–15 the City implemented Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions, which required net pension liabilities to be included in the financial statements for the first time, and Statement No 71, Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date, which was essentially a cleanup provision. Net pension liabilities of $58,222,968 were recorded in 2024–25 and the unrestricted net position was reduced accordingly. The change in accounting standards impacted only the government-wide financial statements, notes, and required supplemental information. There is no impact to the fund financial statements. See Note 9 for more information.

In 2017–18 the City implemented GASB 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other than Pensions, effective July 1, 2017, which requires net OPEB liabilities to be included in the financial statements for the first time. GASB 75 updates Other Postemployment Benefit (OPEB) accounting and financial reporting standards to be consistent with the pension standard in GASB 68.

Similar to GASB 68, the change in accounting standards impacted only the government-wide financial statements, notes, and required supplemental information. There is no impact to the fund financial statements. See Note 10 for more information.

In 2021–22 City implemented GASB 87, Leases, which establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the underlying principle that leases are financings of the right to use the underlying asset. Under this statement, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and an intangible right-to-use lease asset, and a lessor is required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources, thereby enhancing the relevance and consistency of information about government’s leasing activities. For more information see Note 1, Section Q- Leases Receivable, and Note 4- Lease Revenues.

In 2022–23 the City implemented GASB 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements.

The primary objective of GASB 96 is to enhance the relevance and consistency about governments’ subscription activities. Under this Statement, the City is required to recognize a subscription liability and intangible right-to-use subsection asset as described in Note 1, Section R- Lease Payable and Subscription Agreements Payable, and Note 7.

In 2023–24 the City implemented GASB 100, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. The primary objective of GASB 100 is to provide more understandable, reliable, relevant, consistent, and comparable information for making decisions or assessing accountability.

In 2024–25 the City implemented GASB 101, Compensated Absences. The primary objective of GASB 101 is to better meet the information needs of financial statement users by updating the recognition and measurement guidance for compensated absences. The statement requires that liabilities for compensated absences be recognized for leave that has not been used if the leave is attributed to services already rendered, the leave accumulates, and the leave is more likely than not to be used for time off or otherwise paid in cash or settled through noncash means. A liability should also be recognized for leave that has been used, but not yet paid out in cash or settled through noncash means. For more information see Note 1, Section S- Accounting Changes, and Note 7- Long-Term Liabilities.

California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS). The preliminary CalPERS investment return as of June 2025 was 11.6 percent, bringing the total fund performance to 8 percent for the five-year period, 7.1 percent for the ten-year period, and 6.7 percent for the twenty-year period. The investment return surpassed the CalPERS discount rate of 6.8 percent, increasing the estimated overall funded status from 75 percent in 2024 to 79 percent.

The 2020–21 rate of return triggered a reduction in the discount rate used to calculate employer and Public Employee’s Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) member contributions due to the Funding Risk Mitigation Policy approved in 2015. The Funding Risk Mitigation policy lowers the discount rate in years of good investment returns. The discount rate, or assumed rate of return, dropped from 7 percent to 6.8 percent.

This was the first time the policy has been triggered. The CalPERS Board approved a change to the Funding Risk Mitigation Policy in April 2024 to remove the automatic change to the discount rate. The policy now

Page 152 of 874 ends

establishes that the CalPERS Board will hold a discussion when the investment return at fiscal year-end exceeds the assumed rate of return by 2 percent or more. The Board voted to maintain the current discount rate of 6.8 percent as a part of the 2025 Asset Liability Management (ALM) process.

In February 2018, CalPERS adopted a new amortization policy. The new policy applies only to newly established amortization bases and requires fixed dollar (level) amortization rather than percent of pay (escalating). Gains and losses are amortized over 20 rather than 30 years, with a five-year ramp up for investment gains and losses (no ramp down) and no ramp up or down for other amortization bases. The policy minimizes total interest paid over time and pays off UAL faster. It was effective with the June 30, 2019 valuation for 2021–22 contributions.

In December 2017, the CalPERS Board adopted new actuarial assumptions based on the 2017 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions, which impacted the 2019–20 required contributions.

On December 20, 2016, the CalPERS Board approved a change in the discount rate from 7.5 percent to 7 percent over three years. The change is implemented over a three-year period beginning in 2018-19.

Lowering the discount rate, also known as the assumed rate of investment return, means that employers will see increases to contribution rates and higher unfunded liability payments. The City’s miscellaneous and safety plans had side funds (which are liabilities that existed in 2003 when CalPERS “pooled” the City’s plans with other cities of similar size) that paid off from 2018-19 to 2019-20 which helped mitigate the rate increases.

The City created a Retirement Stabilization Fund in 2003-04 to plan for anticipated rate increases. This amount now appears as part of the “committed” balance in the General Fund in the amount of $1,021,575.

Funds were approved by City Council to be placed in a retirement trust, but the plan for a trust was paused due to COVID-19. In January 2025, the City Council approved placing the Retirement Stabilization funds in a retirement trust with Shuster Advisory Group, LLC.

Long-term financial planning. The City’ adopted financial policies address a range of items including accounting and reporting, internal controls, budget, revenue, debt service and investments. The policies are published in the budget and reviewed annually. As part of the budget process, a five-year financial forecast is developed and presented with the Preliminary Budget and Five-Year Capital Improvement Program.

The City Council’s adopted financial policies relating to long-term financial planning for specific funds are as follows:

Insurance Fund—Goal of $3,000,000 in net assets for aberrations in claims reserves and catastrophic losses.

Equipment Replacement Fund—Goal of net assets equal to the accumulated amount calculated for all equipment, based on replacement cost and useful life of equipment.

Contingency—Goal equal to 1 percent of the General Fund appropriations for economic uncertainties, unforeseen emergencies. The goal was increased to 20 percent starting fiscal year 2023–24.

Compensated Absences—Goal equal to 25 percent funding for accrued liabilities for employee vacation, sick and compensatory time.

The City also has a financial policy of transferring funds unspent in the General Fund at year-end to the Insurance Fund, Equipment Replacement Fund, Capital Improvement Fund, Capital Facility Reserve, and to add to Contingency Funds as needed. The City Council makes changes as necessary to the year- end transfer, depending on the equity in the funds or based on other needs.

Page 153 of 874 ends

xi
The City had unspent funds of $2,944,264 in 2024–25 due to salary savings from vacant positions and contractual savings. As a part of the 2025–26 Mid-Year Budget process, the City Council assigned the unspent funds in the General Fund for the 2026–27 Budget process. Staff will make recommendations regarding the unspent funds at that time.

Primary capital projects coming up, (other than street and sewer improvements, which occur every year) include Bus Stop Improvements, Utility Box Wrappings, Gateway and Wayfinding Signs Conceptual Design, City Wide Multi-Space Meter Deployment, Greenwich Village North Undergrounding, PCH Mobility Improvement Project, Hermosa Avenue Green Street, Pedestrian Crossing Safety Improvements, Parking Lot A Improvements, Playground Equipment Replacement, South Park Slope, Irrigation, and Landscape Improvements, Forts Lots-O-Fun Park Wall and Gate Improvements, Kelly Courts Improvements, Stormwater Dry Wells, City Facilities Condition and Needs Assessment, Parking Structure (Lot C) Improvements, New Corporate Yard Facility, Civic Center Charging Stations, Tsunami Siren, Comprehensive Downtown Lighting Design, Pier Structural Inspections and Evaluation, City Wide Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Improvements, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Improvements, Community Center Gas Repairs, Base 3 Electrical Improvements, Community Center Windows Replacement, Real Time Crime Center, Clark Building Renovations, and Parking Structure (Lot C) Improvements.

Cash management policies and practices. Temporarily idle cash was invested during the year in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, certificates of deposit, the State Treasurer's investment pool and the Los Angeles County pool. The average maturity was 59.3 months, with an average weighted yield on investments of 3.25 percent. Investment income includes changes in the fair value of investments. Changes in fair value during the current year, however, do not necessarily represent trends that will continue nor do such amounts necessarily become realized since the City intends to hold the investments to maturity.

Risk management. The City is self-insured up to $250,000 for liability claims. Through a blend of selfinsurance and reinsurance, the City has excess coverage up to $50 million obtained through the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA), a joint powers authority consisting of medium-sized California municipalities. The cost of the insurance depends on both the loss experience of member cities, the loss experience of the City and the City’s payroll size.

The City purchases workers’ compensation coverage through a self-insured program available through CJPIA. The City maintains a $500,000 self-insured retention limit and participates in a self-insured risk sharing pool through CJPIA, with excess coverage through Safety National Casualty Company, providing coverage up to the statutory limits.

Claims defense and settlement are coordinated by third party administrators for both liability and worker's compensation, with oversight by the Human Resources Manager.

Additional information on the City’s risk management activity can be found in Note 8 of the Notes to the Financial Statements.

Pension and other post-employment benefits. The City provides pension benefits to safety and nonsafety employees through the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS). CalPERS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. The City was successful in negotiating two tier rates for new employees in all bargaining units beginning in 2011-12. With the State’s pension reform implemented January 1, 2013, the City now has three tiers. As of June 30, 2025, the City has twenty-eight (28) active Tier 1 employees, eighteen (18) active Tier 2 employees and one hundred-five (105) active employees in Tier 3. The City paid employee contributions as a negotiated benefit for many years however in 2012–13 the City negotiated that employees would begin paying the entire share of the employee contribution over three years with an offsetting increase in salaries, which was achieved as of 2014-15. All of these changes enacted reduce pension costs over time. City employer contributions are actuarially determined on an annual basis.

Page 154 of 874 ends

xii
The City also provides post-employment health care benefits for certain retirees. As of the end of the current fiscal year, there were eighty (80) retirees receiving these benefits. The City established a trust with an outside party to administer these funds in July 2007. The City is contributing the annual required contribution for all employees as determined by an actuarial study in the manner as is done for retirement contributions to CalPERS. In January 2025, City Council approved moving the OPEB Trust from PARS to Shuster Advisory Group, LLC. The OPEB trust is currently 169.2 percent funded. Additional information on the City’s other postemployment benefit plan can be found in Note 10 of the Notes to the Financial Statements.

The concept of a retirement trust was approved by City Council in June 2018 and $829,060 from the Police side fund payoff savings was set aside in the 2019–20 to be placed in the retirement trust. The Section 115 retirement trust was approved by City Council in January 2025 after being put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2025, the City deposited $1,021,575 in funds previously committed in the General Fund for retirement stabilization into the Section 115 trust with Shuster Advisory Group, LLC. The Police side fund saving of $829,060 are pending approval for deposit into the trust.

Additional information on the City of Hermosa Beach’s pension arrangements and other postemployment benefits can be found in Notes 9 and 10 in the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements.

Independent Auditors’ Report
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Hermosa Beach, California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City of Hermosa Beach, California’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Hermosa Beach, California, as of June 30, 2025, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City of Hermosa Beach, California, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City of Hermosa Beach, California’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we:
 Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
 Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Hermosa Beach, California’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
 Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
 Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City of Hermosa Beach, California’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Budgetary Comparison Schedules, Schedule of Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios, Schedule of Contributions - Pension, Schedule of Changes in Net OPEB Liability and Related Ratios, and Schedule of City’s Contribution - OPEB on pages 85 to 88 and 89 to 91, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The Introductory Section, Combining and Individual Nonmajor Fund Financial Statements and the Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances – Budget and Actual, and Statistical Section, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.

The Combining and Individual Nonmajor Fund Financial Statements and the Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances – Budget and Actual are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the Combining and Individual Nonmajor Fund Financial Statements and the Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances – Budget and Actual are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

The Introductory and Statistical Sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 31, 2026, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

4 Management's Discussion and Analysis
As management of the City of Hermosa Beach, we offer readers of the City’s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City of Hermosa Beach for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that is furnished in the letter of transmittal, which can be found on pages v – xii of this report.

Financial Highlights
• The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City of Hermosa Beach exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the close of the last fiscal year by $92,537,122 (net position). Unrestricted net position has a deficit balance of $10,041,265. Excluding the $58,222,968 aggregate net pension liability, $48,181,703 represents unrestricted net position and may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations. • The City’s net position increased by $4,449,859.
• As of June 30, 2025, the City of Hermosa Beach’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $45,502,288, a decrease of $3,945,647 in comparison with the prior year. This decrease is due to expenditures exceeding revenue in the current year.  At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Hermosa Beach’s governmental fund balances of $45,502,288 are comprised of non-spendable funds of $1,116,739; restricted funds of $12,067,948; committed funds of $4,331,861; and assigned funds of $26,372,636 to indicate that funds are not available for new spending. Although funds are shown in the committed or assigned category, the City Council still does have discretion over the use of these funds and may change the committed or assigned use. Under that scenario, approximately 67 percent, or $30,704,497 of the $45,502,288 in funds could be redirected at the discretion of the City Council. Unassigned is $1,613,104. See Note 11 in the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements.
 At the end of 2024–25, $2,944,264 of unspent General Fund funds was due to a result of lower expenditures due to vacancies, underfilled positions and anticipated City street and park repairs that were appropriated but not required this fiscal year. After the fiscal year, City Council direction is to assign the $2,944,264 of unspent funds to bring the Insurance Fund back to its $3.0 million funding goal and to support the development of the upcoming City 2027 budget. The General Fund also has a committed and assigned fund balance of $14,517,183 or 29 percent of total General Fund expenditures.

Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City of Hermosa Beach’s basic financial statements. The basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. The report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.

Government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City of Hermosa Beach’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.

Page 162 of 874 ends

5 The Statement of Net Position presents information on all the City of Hermosa Beach’s assets plus deferred outflows or resources (“DOR”) and liabilities plus deferred inflows of resources (“DIR”), with the difference between the assets plus DOR and liabilities plus DIR reported as net position.

Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City of Hermosa Beach is improving or deteriorating.

The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the government's net positions changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net positions are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned, but unused, vacation leave).

The governmental activities of the City of Hermosa Beach include legislative and legal, general government, public safety, public works, community development, and culture and recreation.

The government-wide financial statements include not only the City of Hermosa Beach, but also the Lighting and Landscaping District, and the Myrtle Avenue, Loma Drive, Bayview Drive, Beach Drive and Greenwich Underground Utility Underground Districts. Although these entities are legally separate, they function for all practical purposes as part of the City and therefore have been included as an integral part of the primary government.

The Government-Wide Financial Statements can be found on pages 19-22 of this report.

Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City of Hermosa Beach, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.

Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on nearterm inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term financing requirements.

Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.

By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.

The City of Hermosa Beach maintains thirty-two individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance for the following funds, which are considered to be a major fund:

General Fund
Grants Special Revenue Fund
Tyco Special Revenue Fund

Page 163 of 874 ends

6 RTI Undersea Cable Special Revenue Fund
Capital Improvement Capital Projects Fund
Major funds are governmental or enterprise funds whose revenues, expenditures/expenses, assets and DOR or liabilities and DIR are at least 10 percent of corresponding totals for all governmental or enterprise funds and at least 5 percent of the corresponding total for all governmental and enterprise funds combined.

Data from the other twenty-nine governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements in the Supplementary Information section in this report.

The City of Hermosa Beach adopts an annual appropriated budget for its funds. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the General Fund, Grants Special Revenue Fund, Tyco Special Revenue Fund, RTI Undersea Cable Special Revenue Fund and Capital Improvement Capital Projects Fund in the Required Supplementary Information and Supplementary Information sections to demonstrate compliance with this budget.

The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 25-30 of this report.

Proprietary funds. The City of Hermosa Beach maintains one type of proprietary fund.

Internal service funds are used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City of Hermosa Beach’s various functions. The City of Hermosa Beach uses internal service funds to account for its fleet of vehicles, information systems and equipment, and risk management/insurance activities. Because these services predominantly benefit governmental rather than business-type functions, they have been included within governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.

Internal service funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.

The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 33-35 of this report.

Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City of Hermosa Beach’s own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds. Funds of the Bayview Drive, Lower Pier Avenue Assessment District, Beach Drive Assessment District, Myrtle Avenue and Loma Drive Undergrounding Districts are held as fiduciary funds.

The fiduciary fund financial statements can be found on pages 38-39 of this report.

Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.

The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 44-78 of this report.

Required supplementary information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the City of Hermosa Beach’s major funds. Required supplementary information can be found on pages 80-91 of this report.

Page 164 of 874 ends

7 Other supplementary information. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds and internal service funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary information. Other supplementary information can be found on pages 96-144 of this report.

Government-wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. As of June 30, 2025, total assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $92,537,122. Without the net pension liability of $58,222,968, the net position would be $150,760,090.

The City implemented GASB 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions for the June 30, 2015 financial statements and GASB 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits, for June 30, 2018 financial statements, which require the City to include its net pension and OPEB liabilities in the government-wide financial statements for the first time. Similar to the City’s longterm debt, the net pension and OPEB liabilities are payable over an extended time horizon and do not represent a claim on current financial resources. The statements implement changes to accounting and reporting; they do not apply to the way pensions or other postemployment benefits are funded.

For more information on the implementation of GASB 68 and 75, please refer to Notes 9 and 10 in the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements.

While the City is now required to show the net pension and OPEB liabilities in the government-wide statements, according to the Governmental Finance Officers Association (GFOA) the underlying factual situation has not changed. Standard and Poor’s (the rating agency who rated the City’s bonds) indicated that GASB 68 will lead to more conservative liability estimates and provide some additional disclosure.

They will continue to focus on commitment to funding, investment performance, trend analysis, affordability, and maintaining plan sustainability. The Annual Required Contribution (ARC) for pension will continue to be reported as the Actuarially Determined Contribution. Standard and Poor’s believes this is an easily recognizable and understandable measure for governments. They currently estimate with what frequency governments fully fund their ARC (which Hermosa Beach does 100 percent of the time).

The major components of GASB 68 and GASB 75 that affect the Statement of Net Position for Government-wide are:
 Deferred Outflows of Resources- Includes the deferred pension and OPEB contribution, which is equal to the total amount of the 2024–25 contributions. The contributions are deferred to 2025–26 because the net liability balance is one year in arrears. Also includes changes in assumptions, the difference between projected and actual investment earnings and the difference between the employer contributions and the employer’s proportionate share of contributions (for pensions).
 Net Pension and Net OPEB Liabilities (recorded in Long-Term Liabilities) - Represents the actuarially valued liabilities Plans as of June 30, 2024.  Deferred Inflows of Resources- Includes changes in assumptions, the difference between the expected and actual earnings on investments (amortized on a straight-line basis over five years), changes in employer’s proportion (for pensions), and differences between employer contributions and the employer’s proportionate share of contributions (for pensions).

Total Net Position 92,537 88,087
The largest portion of the City of Hermosa Beach’s net position of $92,537,122 reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery, and equipment). The City of Hermosa Beach uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending.

A portion of the City of Hermosa Beach’s net position $20,199,250 represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used.

Compliance with GASB 68 and GASB 75 require that the City’s net pension and OPEB liabilities are recorded on the Statement of Net Position, which reduces unrestricted net position and creates a negative unrestricted net position or deficit of -$10,041,265. Excluding the $58,222,968 net pension liability, $48.181,703 is available to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to residents.

At June 30, 2025, the City is able to report positive balances in all categories of net position for the government as a whole except for unrestricted due to the implementation of GASB 68 and the inclusion of the net pension liability, which will likely remain a long-term liability for several decades. The following is the condensed Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024.

Governmental Activities. Governmental activities increased the City of Hermosa Beach’s net position by $4,449,859. Significant elements of this change are as follows:

Revenue for Governmental Activities
 Property tax revenue increased $1,352,507 or 5 percent, which is in line with continued growth in property values.
 Sales Tax revenue decreased by $278,908 or 7 percent, primarily due to an decrease in Restaurants and Hotels industry followed by Business and Industry Group.  Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue decreased by $182,645 or 4 percent, presumably due to decreased room rates. The overall occupancy rate for hotels in 2024- 25 was 69 percent compared to 70 percent in 2023-24.
 Utility User Tax was up $109,844 or 4 percent. The largest increase was in the category electricity service.

Legislative and Legal expenses increased by $147,298 or 8 percent. This is primarily due to GASB 68 and 75 recording of the department’s share of the pension and OPEB obligation adjustments.

Reviewing costs in the governmental funds, contract services costs also increased due to City attorney services in the fiscal year.

11 General Government increased by $966,402 or 13 percent. This is primarily due to GASB 68 and 75 recording of the department’s share of the pension and OPEB obligation adjustments. Reviewing costs in the governmental funds, there was also an increase in contract services as the City performed mobile mental health services to unhoused residents due to a Federal grant the City received from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Public Works expenses increased by $4,973,664 or 45 percent. This is primarily due to the Annual Street Improvement Maintenance project to provide pavement rehabilitation of various streets throughout the City. The project also repaired deteriorated portions of sidewalk, curb and gutter ramps.

Community Development expenses increased by $61,811 or 2 percent. This is primarily due to increased salary and benefit costs as the Community Development department was fully staffed for the fiscal year compared to the prior year.

Culture and Recreation expenses increased by $345,846 or 14 percent. This is primarily due to GASB 68 and 75 recording of the department’s share of the pension and OPEB obligation adjustments. Reviewing costs in the governmental funds, expenditures increased due to the hiring of the newly created Lead Special Events and Filming Coordinator and the Special Events Coordinator positions.

Public Safety decreased slightly by $253,349 or 1 percent. Reviewing costs in the governmental funds, the slight decrease is primarily due to the City making the final December 2023 payments for fire service facility costs to Los Angeles County in the prior fiscal year. The City contracted with Los Angeles County for Fire Services on 12/30/2017.

Interest and fiscal charges decreased in 2024–25 in the amount of $31,824 or 25 percent.
