I have been a resident of Hermosa Beach for over fifteen years, along with my wife and two school aged children. I have a vested interest in seeing that the children of Hermosa Beach get the best education possible in the current period of fiscal constraint and growing enrollment.

I feel my professional career in commercial banking and finance gives me a strong business background to deal with the challenging financial issues facing our school system in the years to come.

As a member of the Hermosa Beach City School District I will seek to continue the current Board' s policy of providing a quality education for our growing enrollment. •

I' m running for the City Council because I think Hermosa Beach is a terrific city in which to live, and I want to do my best to keep it that way.

I think our lifestyle is marvelous. Maybe our physical environment could use a little cosmetic upgrading, but we can' t accomplish that by destroying the traditional character of the city, by driving away the businesses that reflect our way of living or by modifying an ambience that' s the envy of most of the rest. ofthe county. And certainly we don' t need an air—polluting oil field and a dirty oil—storage dump stuck right in, town.

We' re fortunate enough to havesome undeveloped property. Why is our present city government so anxious to dispose of it — and injudiciously, at that? No part of town is safe from the ill- advised schemes of an uninspired City Council.

Hermosa Beach is a special kind of place. It's time that we, the residents, take it back from outside developers and internal lethargy. If the city has a problem, let' s solve it creatively and logically.

Hermosa needs an overhaul.-

There is focus on the mundane, while basic services areneglected. As millions sit in the bank gathering dust, we witness a regular. deterioration of sewers, water lines, and streets.'
Money is neither collected norspent efficiently. Certain hard working city employees are paid a pittance, others are getting rich. I' m sick of it, this isn' t the way government should work... '" '
A graduate of UCSB in math, I started a company developing educational computer software. I' ve successfully learned the importance of making every dollar work— that is what, this city needs.

We deserve an. open, responsive government. The existing adversary • relationship between us and the Council is absurd. The Council, rather than advertising its intentions and inviting participation, disguises and confuses the issues. Critical Council decisions are typically made in wee hours of the, morning. I want to change this.

My position on virtually all issues: I believe the Council should interpret the will of the majority and vote accordingly.

I' m 40, I' ve lived in Hermosa 15 years, and I love it here. Even if you don' t vote for me, please vote for change in our Council! Hermosa' s potential will be realized if we demand it.

The residents have the right to expect that local government be approachable and responsive to their needs and ideas. Highest level of service for the lowest cost should be provided with the tax dollars. A clean, safe environment should be present. Mass development should be, controlled. Public participation should be encouraged.

Responsiveness, common sense and experience are what I can provide to achieve these goals. I ask for your support and vote...

My family enjoys the relaxed lifestyle of living in Hermosa Beach. We have good neighbors who look out for one another. Hermosa must preserve its community" identity, and not become another Esplanade development as in Redondo Beach.

Participating in local government in Hermosa is frustrating. There is . no meaningful exchange of ideas between elected and electorate. Public comment is routinely dismissed after Council calls for a report from the " Staff' which is a carbon copy of what Council had wanted all along. More time and effort is spent on confrontation than on compromise. Do you remember the recent downzoning?
City Council and City Hall should be overhauled. Instead of changing ordinances every few months, attention should be focused on our drug problem, the conditions of our business district, our streets, sewers and water.

I am a proponent for property owners and businessmen. I accept no contributions. I run a low profile campaign. If you want an independent vote on City Council, vote for me. I don' t have all the answers, but I am willing to listen to reason.

THIS ORDINANCE.

This proposed initiative ordinance would repeal the Specific Plan Area, adopted by the City Council in 1984, which allows for a hotel and related uses on the property commonly known as the Biltmore Site, Parking Lot "C" and adjacent private property. In place of the Specific Plan, this ordinance, if adopted by the voters, would replace the Specific Plan designation with two different zones.

The Biltmore Site would be rezoned to Open Space. The Land Use Element of the General Plan would also be changed from Commercial/ Recreational to an Open Space designation for the Biltmore Site. As Open Space property, the site would be regulated by Article 9. 5 of the Hermosa Beach Zoning Code. The permitted uses allowed on the site could include public or private parks, educational buildings, recreational centers, governmental buildings, historical monuments or public malls or plazas.

The remaining property, Parking Lot " C" and private property west of the parking and south of the Biltmore Site, would be rezoned to C- 2 ( Restricted Commercial Zone). The General Plan for this area would apparently be changed to General Commercial. Permitted uses under this zone are found in Section 8- 3 of the Hermosa Beach Zoning Code. This zoning would be the same as the adjacent downtown area.

In order to implement this ordinance, the city is directed to seek the necessary approvals to the changes made from the California Coastal Commission. If any part' of this ordinance is declared invalid, the remainder of the ordinance shall be implemented.

This ordinance shall take effect if adopted by a majority vote of the people.

According to its terms, the ordinance can only be amended, repealed or modified by a two—thirds vote of the people.

ARGUMENT IN FAVOR .OF, PROPOSITION C
Rezone Biltmore Site 100% Open Space—Park; repeal the Specific Plan Area, that takes up approximately a three block area, that allows for a 250 Room 4—story Hotel Complex.

We want the Biltmore Site to be rezoned. 100% Open Space, wewant the Biltmore Site — to have trees and grass planted on it — so we can all enjoy the Land.

Over 1, 800 signatures were collected in circulating this petition Initiative. I want to thank all the people who took their time to sign the petition.

We need Open Space on the Biltmore site, because of existing problems of congestion, density, parking and traffic. The Hotel complex — would generate about one million motor vehicle trips per year into Hermosa Beach.

All the other lands covered by Specific Plan Ordinance — 84 —751— would revert back to their previous C- 2 ( Restricted Commercial) zoning. • This is the answer to the Biltmore question. A park with grass and trees, with only a couple of park benches. •
The Biltmore Site should become a thing of pride in Hermosa Beach, like an oasis in a desert.

A Strand Park is the highest and best use of the site for present and future generations to enjoy!

Rebuttal to Prop C ( 89- 998) ( Parker' s) :` ":• - `
To rezone the Biltmore Site Open Space appropriates the . 84 Acre Site to the following uses as defined in Hermosa .Beach Zoning Code Section. 9.5- 1 Permitted Uses: •
a) Public and private parks, including beach areas.
b) Educational buildings and playgrounds.
c) Recreation centers, public and private.
d) Public utility structures and corridors...
e) Riding, bicycling and hiking trails and pedestrian ways. f) Public governmental buildings.
g) Historical monuments and areas of historical. significance. h) Public malls and plazas.

As the Council record states, a No vote on both park measures is a clear choice for Residential. Choosing Residential establishes the following results:

1. $ 8. 35 Million for purchase of Railroad and excess School Property.

2. Retires and repeals the ' 4% U.U.T. Tax.

3. The taxpayers can increase their Open Space holdings by 20 fold without the use of a 4% U.U.T. or any other form of tax.

We endorse the clear, responsible, logical, balanced choice; Residential. To retire the 4% U.U.T. Tax, pay off the Railroad, and purchase excess School.

Property, Vote No on both measures Prop C and. Prop D.

ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION C
Arguments Against Parkers Park ( 89- 998)
Open Space, the greatest asset. The Biltmore Site used as Open Space isnot the greatest asset and could be a long term liability. Sale of the entire Biltmore Site will purchase 21 acres ofGreenbelt and surplus School Playgrounds within the Coastal Zone.

Sale of the Biltmore Site for Residential use 8. 375 Mil.+ Parks Acq. Fund & the 4% UUT, Fund = 3 Mil.+
current)
We can retire the 4% UUT, and have extra to purchase the South School site.

To retire the 4% UUT and purchase the Greenbelt + School property for open space, we endorse the following voting recommendations as stated in the City Council record on 6- 27- 89:

Councilmember Sheldon: " Ifthe people want Residential, they can vote no on both measures, that' s a clear choice." The clear choice to retire the 4% UUT and purchase the desired, open space is to vote no on C and D, the Council' s clear choice for Residential.

What does and doesn' t Prop C do?

1. It rezones to Commercial from unzoned the 33, 000+ square foot Parking Lot " C" allowing Commercial development.

2. It does not restrict sale of the site or consolidation with other land.

3. It allows the City to sell the Biltmore Site to a private person for Open Space uses.

4. Public malls and plazas, like the publicly owned one in Loreto Plaza are allowed in the Open Space zone. ,

5. Prop C does not prevent the publicly owned Biltmore Site frombeing used as a plaza for the Hotel. . .

6. Recreation centers, public and private, are allowed in the Open Space zone; Prop C allows either public or private recreation centers on the Biltmore Site.

Hermosa. Beach City Councilmember,• June Williams, stated the following: ;.

I endorse this open space park measure. The voters overwhelmingly passed a. 4% utility user tax to pay for the purchase of the Santa Fe Right -of --Way Greenbelt), and it is not necessary to sell this valuable Open Space. We must preserve this open space for the people. This measure also preserves existing parking on the site, and we all know there is a critical deficiency of parking.

Do we need twelve more homes in the area, that is already so congested?" The voters have spoken — time and time again. They do not want the Biltmore Site developed with homes, restaurants, or hotels, as one can clearly see by the election results of November 7, 1988: •

Residential zoning for the Biltmore Site is absurd. The Coastal Commission will never approve any residential development because such development would not be visitor– serving and, as such, would not be consistent with Coastal Commission goals.

Voters beware. There is a danger, since there are two competing measures on. the ballot that are very similar, that the open space vote may be split and nothing will pass; then the City Council will probably sell the land to big developers.

Vote No on the concrete Urban Plaza Jungle and Yes on this 100% Open Space Park with grass and trees. ••

COUNCIL PROPOSED ORDINANCENO 89- 1000
This proposed ordinance would repeal the Biltmore Site Specific Plan Area •';., which allows for a hotel and related uses on the property commonly known: N. i as the Biltmore Site, Parking Lot " C" and adjacent private property. In place of the Specific Plan, this ordinance, if adopted by the voters, would divide the : 3, Biltmore Site into three different zones as follows.

ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION D
After many; years of controversy and debate, Proposition D finally offers the residents of Hermosa Beach a real chance to resolve the Biltmore Site issue.

It represents the first opportunity we have had to join together in a balanced... approach to the future use of this property. . .

After substantial discussion, a recommendation by a council appointed citizens' committee, and then minor modifications by the city council, what Proposition D describes is exactly what the site requires — a balance of uses. Proposition D does not propose an overwhelming commercial or residential development • nor does it relegate the entire area to open space.

Proposition D proposes three distinct and appropriate types of zoning:

Parcel 1 - Open Space ( 59%): The Biltmore site, or that area facing the Strand . . through and including Beach Drive would become a beautiful plaza - an urban beach front park using a combination of hardscape and softscape professionally designed and constructed by a nationally known landscape architect.

Parcel 2—Commercial '( 25%): The .land adjacent to Cafe Christopher on the South East would become a lovely restaurant with unrestricted ocean views and ' plenty of parking on site and in parking lot C.

Ji. Parcel 3—Residential ( 16%): This smaller parcel which is currently an under• utilized visitor parking area on the North East would be sold for residential use, similar to the other residential uses on 15th street, and bring in as much as one million dollars — some of which would be used to build and maintain i"• the Plaza. s An excellent mix of uses and a practical solution to this controversial issue,- this balanced alternative deserves your vote! - . . -•

ORDINANCE
Regardless of what others would like you to believe, the City Council, through this ordinance, has again shown its concern for the safety and quality of life of all Hermosans.

The opposition' s use' of . selective quotes of Councilpersons, taken out of context, from workshop sessions, not policy meetings, are' irrelevant to the issue before us.

Parking is not the issue they would have you believe. Walk the area along Valley • from Pier Avenue south. Note that this is currently a parking area. No • additional areas would be included. Again, to reiterate, parking ... improvements shall be of a nature and material designed to enhance and improve the existing natural landscape."
We have read our opponents initiative. We agreed with most of their issues. • We have addressed their concerns and incorporated them in this ordinance..

Our only area of disagreement relates to dogs. We think they should be on leash. Only then are they truly under their owner' s control. Without this leash clause, untold numbers of non residents will be encouraged to use our Greenbelt .:
for their dog run. That' s an attractive nuisance of the worst kind. .

Remember, we are taxing ourselves to raise 7- 1/ 2 million dollars for this .. nineteen acre Greenbelt, shouldn' t we all be able to enjoy it? The use of a leash, especially in this dense community, shows social responsibility, it shows consideration also for the other ninety five percent of the community who don't own a dog. We hope you agree, and Vote Yes on this ordinance. .

How else do you create parking lots with designated spaces as Section 2( a) of this measure:

In addition to parking lots and basketball courts, they have mentioned such. things as gazebos, kiosks and shelters.: ••` Dogs have been permitted off leash on the right—of—way for over 25 years.

Congratulations Hermosans, we will soon be the owners of a tree and shrub lined natural greenbelt area. An area that runs the full length of Hermosa - Beach. An area intended to be used and enjoyed by all Hermosans.

To make sure that all of us can make optimal use of this beautiful area and that it remains forever a tranquil oasis, we, your City Council, are proposing this more restrictive Open Space Ordinance.

No buildings will be permitted, period!
Only those improvements that are clearly spelled out in the ordinance will be. allowed. These pertain only to beautification, landscaping, erosion control and irrigation. - .

Let's talk parking. The major area across from City Hall could do with less ::' dust! This would benefit all, joggers, walkers and the cars on which this dust settles. Forget visions of concrete and asphalt though, the ordinance specifically states that parking lot ' improvements shall be of a nature and material designed to enhanceand improve the existing natural landscape." We're talking woodchips, gravel, railroad ties and grass crete. Also, there is no desire or intent to expand the current parking area.

Finally, this ordinance requires that dogs be leashed. We already have a leash. law on the books that pertains to our streets and beaches. We think it should apply tothe Greenbelt too. To the ninety five percent of Hermosans who don' t own a dog, this really shouldn' t be an issue. However, some of the remaining five percent have decided that their freedom hinges on their dogs right to be offleash. We think they' re barking up the wrong tree. We hope you agree!

89- 999:: , 1.

This proposed special interest ordinance pits you and 19, 000 other Hermosans against many, though not all, of the 1, 100 dogs and their owners who want to avoid obeying our leash law.

Through the utility tax, you are paying to purchase the Santa Fe right- of- way/ j Greenbelt. You have a right therefore to use and enjoy it.

No dog is paying one penny for this Greenbelt. Even if every dog owner pays .:
his portion of the utility tax, this represents only five percent ofthe population.

Clearly a majority of ninety five percent are entitled to exercise their rights as well as their legs without looking over their shoulder fearing some off - leash' dog.

Density is an issue here too. Hermosa has over 15, 200 people/ square mile. This >' is the highest density of any South Bay city by over 2,000 people/ square mile.

Yet none of these other cities allow clogs to run off -leash. a We all want, indeed need, a tranquil and serene space to enjoy if only for the half hour it takes to walk the entire Greenbelt. We don' t want or need to worry about some off -leash dog intimidating or worse, chasing us or our children.

Also, ifthis passed, Hermosa would become a mecca for non- Hermosans and all their dogs, further aggravating a bad situation. And nothing could be done about. thiswithout another election.

The other issues listed in this ordinance are covered by the competing Greenbelt measure on this ballot. The only real difference is the dogs off leash issue. Remember, the dogs aren' t buying the Greenbelt, you are:

Vote for tranquility, serenity, and your peace of mind. Vote against the selfish five percent. Vote NO on Ordinance 89- 999.

REBUTTAL TO WATCH DOG INITIATIVE
The proponents call themselves " Watchdog". That pretty well summarizes • their goal. They truly are watching out for their dogs.

While they now claim to be concerned about development on the Greenbelt, Watchdog never mentioned this issue in their many appearances before the city council earlier this year. If they had, we would have been only too willing to allay their fears. Indeed, we agree that no development should occur on the Greenbelt. No buildings, no additional areas devoted to parking. But, all Watchdog wanted from the city council was for their continued use of the area for their dogs to run off leash.

We did not consent to this because we have to represent the best interests of all Hermosans, not just a vocal portion of the five percent of dog owners.

Watchdog talks about precedent and historic use, but they' re not talking reality or responsibility. .

Reality is that land, that was once privately owned, is soon to be owned by all Hermosans, for the use and enjoyment of all Hermosans.

Responsibility is what you then take on when you invite everyone to enjoy this • Greenbelt. Responsibility is realizing that for others to enjoy this area, dogs must be leashed to be under the competent control of their owners.

The precedent we should concern ourselves with is that ofrespect for the rights of all Hermosans. Unfortunately, that issue is not addressed in this initiative. • We urge you, therefore, to Vote NO on this measure.

ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION E
This measure insures that any future development of the right—of—way/ greenbelt . is mandated by the people and not by special interests:' It will eliminate changes and prevent indiscriminate violations of our precious natural resource, the greenbelt. Open space can never be retrieved once it has been developed. This initiative will allow for future development only by a vote of the people.

The greenbelt is presently zoned open space, which means that 10% may be used for such things as public and private recreation centers, malls, plazas, government buildings and paved parking. Council can increase that percentage and add other uses. Although unlikely, but by of example, they could find it necessary to drill oil wells on the greenbelt. The City' s Capital Improvement Program No. 91- 511 is a 39, 200. square foot parking lot south of Pier Avenue to be funded 7/ 90. A yes vote on this measure would prevent any of the above development.. . a
This measure also allows dogs to be off leash on the greenbelt as has been permitted for over 25 years. In a 2/ 6/ 89 staffreport, General Services Director. -::

Joan Noon stated that research of incident reports did "... not appear to indicate a significant problem." She stated that while on the greenbelt she observed "... joggers, dog—walkers and ... children ... A congenial and friendly atmosphere." In the same report City Manager Northcraft stated, with reference to whether - the city should start enforcing a leash law, "... the law does not seen necessary and should be changed to reflect historical enforcement practices. ... Given the absence of significant problems, there is rationale to continue to allow an off— .:
leash area."

CITY ATTORNEY' S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS OF PROPOSITION E
PETITION INITIATIVE ORDINANCE NO. 89- 999
Thisproposed initiative ordinance would place certain use controls on: the property known as the Santa Fe Railroad Right—of—Way/ Greenbelt hereinafter " Greenbelt Area") within the boundaries of the City of Hermosa Beach. The stated purpose of the ordinance is to preserve the Greenbelt Area for present, traditional and historic passive open space uses.

Current provisions of the Open Space zone allow for a maximum ten percent building area lot coverage in relation to the Greenbelt Area. In determining future uses, this measure apparently will eliminate the ten percent allowance and prevent any additional structures and buildings which would interfere with present, traditional and historic uses of the area.

This proposed ordinance also prohibits the improvement of the area for roads, structures or paved parking that would in any wayinterfere, with the .present uses of the Greenbelt Area. The sixty—one space paved parking area currently existing across from Clark Stadium is exempt from this limitation.

Current provisions of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code require that all dogs II. be restrained by leash while upon any public street, park or other public area.'• This measure is intended to amend the City' s leash law to allow an owner to bring their. dog( s), while under competent control, upon the Greenbelt Area without a leash for exercise and/ or training purposes..

If any part of this measure is invalidated, .the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. This ordinance shall take effect if adopted by a majority of the people and receives more votes than Ordinance No. 89- 1001.

TITLE AND SUMMARY,- ORDINANCE 89- 999 — PROPOSITION E
INITIATIVE MEASURE TO BE SUBMITTED DIRECTLY TO THE . -
VOTERS
The City Attorney has prepared the following title and summary of the chief purpose and points of the proposed measure:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA,
PROHIBITING FURTHER DEVELOPMENT ON THE SANTA FE .

RAILROAD RIGHT—OF—WAY, RESTRICTING USE OF THE

PROPERTY TO EXISTING CONDITIONS, AND ALLOWING FOR
UNLEASHED DOGS TO' BE TRAINED AND/ OR EXERCISED.

This proposed initiative ordinance would place certain use controls on the property known as the Santa Fe Railroad Right—of—Way/ Greenbelt within the boundaries ofthe City ofHermosa Beach. The stated purpose ofthe ordinance • is to preserve the Right- of—Way for " passive open spaceuses." In determining future usages, the current ten percent lot coverage allowed under the Open Space zone will not apply to the Right—of—Way. Normally, lot coverage percentages limit how much area buildings may occupy in relation to the overall size of the parcel. However, this proposed initiative intends to prevent structures and buildings " of any nature" on the Right—of—Way which would interfere with present uses.

The measure also. prevents roads and paved parking that wouldinterfere with the present uses of natural parkland, walking and jogging. Provision is made to keep sixty—one paved parking spaces currently in existence on the Right—of— • Way. These spaces are across Valley Drive from Clark Stadium.

An additional mandate of the measure is that dogs would be allowed on the Right—of—Way for exercise and/ or training. The dogs, however, must be kept under the competent control of their owners or the owners' designees. This would change existing law which prevents dogs from being off—leash on public property. The current leash law is not being enforced by decision of the City P .. Council.

If any part of this measure is invalidated, the rest will remain in full force and effect. Once adopted, this ordinance can only be amended or repealed by a vote of the people.

REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION D
Residential zoning for the entire Biltmore Site is not a viable alternative! • The California Coastal Commission designates the Biltmore Site for visitor serving uses.. Uses that serve the public. In a letter to the City Council dated.':,; March 1988, the Commission Executive Director wrote, "... I see no basis for... a change to residential uses."! :.:

The Coastal Commission will not allow the Biltmore Site to be turned over : 1 to seven or eight privateowners and, as such, any reference to a huge amount, of money available is wishful thinking.

We' ve voted down `oil on this site! •

Proposition D balances the desires of all of us, including open space advocates, *' r by combining open space ( 59%) with a lovely restaurant ( 25%) and a small . L amount of residential ( 16%).

It brings in $ 1, 000, 000 immediately to build the plaza with the majority of the money left over to purchase additional open. space.

Proposition D is an excellent compromise and a balanced alternative. Your yes vote will finally resolve this issue by giving all Hermosa some ofwhat they want.

Councilmember Sheldon: " Ifthe people want Residential, they can vote no on both measures, that' s .a clear choice." The clear choice to retire the 4% UUT and purchase the desired open space is to vote no on C and D, the Council' s clear choice for Residential. •

APPROVAL OF PLACING A BALLOT
MEASURE ON THE NOVEMBER 3,
2026, GENERAL MUNICIPAL

ELECTION, TO ALLOW A

DESIGNATED OFF-LEASH DOG

PARK WITHIN THE GREENBELT
July 28, 2026 Meeting

SUMMARY
At its May 12, 2026 meeting, City Council directed staff to proceed with a comprehensive feasibility analysis of Valley Park (East) as the primary location and the Greenbelt as a secondary location for a Dog Park, and to return with information on a potential ballot measure regarding the Greenbelt location.

Accordingly, this report presents the proposed election resolution for City Council consideration regarding the potential placement of a limited designated off-leash Dog Park measure on the November 3, 2026, ballot.

SUMMARY
Voter approval is required to partially amend Ordinance 89-1001 for limited use of dogs off-leash on the Greenbelt.

The proposed measure does not approve a Dog Park or authorize construction; rather, it authorizes future consideration of a Dog Park, subject to subsequent City Council approval, environmental review, and all other required discretionary approvals.

BACKGROUND
• Parks Master Plan, adopted in November 2024, one of the goals outlined to advance was explore current recreational spaces and the feasibility to provide dog-friendly amenities.
• The Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission subsequently established a Community Dog Park Subcommittee to work with staff and Bark for a Park (BFAP), a community organization advocating for the establishment of a Dog Park.

BACKGROUND
History Timeline:
• The Greenbelt was acquired following voter approval of Proposition D on June 7, 1988.
• City Council subsequently adopted Ordinance No. 89-1001 (Attachment 5) on the November 7, 1989, which preserved the property for parkland and open-space purposes and requires dogs within the Greenbelt to remain on leash.
• Following voter approval of the ordinance, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 89-5329 on November 28, 1989, implementing the measure.

Because Ordinance No. 891001 was approved by the electorate, an amendment authorizing an off-leash Dog Park within the Greenbelt requires voter approval. It would not be recommended to amend the ordinance in its entirety.

DISCUSSION
The proposed election resolution (Attachment 1) would place a measure before Hermosa Beach voters at the November 3, 2026, General Municipal Election and preserving City Council’s future discretion regarding any potential Dog Park proposal or its location.
• If approved by a majority of voters, it would partially amend the existing restriction to allow the City to consider a designated off-leash Dog Park within a portion of the Greenbelt. It would not approve a Dog Park or require the City to proceed with the Project.
• Any future Greenbelt Dog Park proposal would remain subject to a separate discretionary review. The City Council would retain authority to approve, modify, condition, relocate, phase, suspend, or deny a future proposal or request.

DISCUSSION
Additional Items:
• Section 6 of the proposed Resolution provides that the City Council may designate one or more of its Councilmembers to file arguments for and against the measure if any Councilmembers would like to file an argument in accordance (Attachment 3).
• The City Council may request the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder to assign a particular letter to the City-initiated ballot (Attachment 2) • Community-Led Public Outreach Campaign: City Council may assign two Councilmembers and if they find supporters of the measure, they will need to file an argument of support for the measure by August 14, 2026 (Attachment 4) and they can be listed on the ballot as official supporters.

DISCUSSION
Location - Greenbelt

Options for Council Consideration:

1. Adopt the proposed election resolution;

2. Adopt the election resolution with modifications;

3. Decline to place the proposed measure before the voters; or

4. Provide alternative direction to staff

Staff Report No. 26-PR-048
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council P.A.R.K. AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM FEE UPDATES
(Recreation Supervisor Nick Shattuck)

APPROVE
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council approve the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission's recommendation to update the annual registration fee for the P.A.R.K. After School Program to $3,150.

Executive Summary:

The P.A.R.K. After School Program provides supervised after-school care for Hermosa Beach students in grades 1–8. The current annual program fee of $1,900 has not been updated since 2015 and no longer reflects the increased personnel and operational costs required to provide the service. Staff evaluated current program costs, enrollment levels, and comparable fees in neighboring jurisdictions and recommended increasing the annual program fee to $3,150 to improve cost recovery and better align with the actual cost of providing the program while maintaining the current level of service. At its June 2, 2026 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission recommended City Council approval of the fee increase.

Background:

The P.A.R.K. After School Program provides after-school care for Hermosa Beach students in grades 1–8 from Hermosa Valley, Hermosa Vista, and Hermosa View Schools.

Supervised walking transportation is provided to the South Park Building, where participants receive homework assistance, enjoy arts and crafts, and take part in organized recreational activities in a safe and engaging environment. The program is fully administered and staffed by City personnel.

The program has been offered as an affordable resource for families within the community. In 2012, the annual program fee was approximately $1,250 per participant.

In 2015, the City implemented a tiered pricing structure, with annual fees of $1,200 for a three-day program and $1,900 for a five-day program. The current annual program fee is $1,900, with no tiered pricing structure. No further adjustments have been made to reflect cost recovery, inflation, or alignment with current market rates.

Past Commission Actions

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3
Discussion:

The cost of providing services for the P.A.R.K. After School Program has increased significantly since its most recent fee update in 2015. Since that time, California’s minimum wage has increased by approximately 89%, significantly impacting the personnel costs required to safely operate and staff the program.

In addition to staffing costs, general operating expenses have increased over time, including program supplies, and these cost increases have not been reflected in the current program fee structure. As a result, the existing annual fee of $1,900 does not fully recover the cost of providing services, and the program currently operates with a City subsidy of approximately $61,520
Staff evaluated after-school program costs in neighboring jurisdictions, including Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach. The annual cost is approximately $2,700 in Redondo Beach and $3,700 in Manhattan Beach, both of which exceed the City’s current annual program fee of $1,900.

Additionally, staff evaluated current enrollment levels and operational costs. Current enrollment is approximately 40 students annually. Staff recommends a fee increase from $1,900 annually to $3,150 annually based on the evaluation of neighboring jurisdictions and current costs and would exceed direct operating costs by approximately $4,220. The proposed fee adjustment more accurately reflects the cost of delivering the program while maintaining the level of service provided to participants. The proposed annual fee of $3,150 equates to approximately $17.50 per day, or approximately $4.17 per hour for supervised after-school care, based on a 180-day school year and approximately 756 hours of service.

Attachment 1 is the current program cost recovery based on the existing annual fee of $1,900. Attachment 2 is the program cost recovery based on the proposed annual fee of $3,150.

The proposed program cost recovery reflected in Attachment 2 is based on an anticipated enrollment of 45 students annually. To support achieving this enrollment target and ensure overall cost recovery, staff will implement enhanced marketing efforts and increase coordination with local schools, including expanded outreach to families.

The Commission recommended City Council approval of

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 3
Next Steps
If City Council approves the proposed P.A.R.K. After School Program fee update, staff would proceed with preparing the necessary amendments to the City’s Master Fee Schedule for City Council review and consideration through a public hearing. The fee update would then apply to the 2026-2027 school year.

Fiscal Impact:

The proposed fee adjustment for the P.A.R.K. After School Program would increase the annual program fee from $1,900 to $3,150 per participant.

The proposed fee is expected to generate an increase of $65,750 in annual revenue from $76,000 to $141,750. This is based on an anticipated enrollment of 45 students annually.

Staff will program the estimated revenue budget as part of the FY 27 Mid-Year Budget Review.

Estimated annual operating costs will remain the same, which is approximately $137,526 including staffing, supplies, and administrative oversight.

Based on the projected enrollment and proposed fee adjustment, the program would operate at full cost recovery. Without the proposed fee adjustment, the program is projected to continue operating at a deficit.

CONSIDERATION OF VALLEY PARK SUMMER DAY CAMP FEE UPDATE (Recreation Supervisor Nick Shattuck)

APPROVE
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council approve the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission's recommendation to update the registration fees for Valley Park Summer Day Camp to $255 for Hermosa Beach residents and $275 for non-residents.

Executive Summary:

Valley Park Summer Day Camp provides supervised summer day camp programming for youth ages 6 to 13. The current weekly registration fee has not been updated since at least 2012. Staff evaluated current program costs and comparable fees in neighboring jurisdictions and recommended increasing the weekly registration fee from $185 to $255 for Hermosa Beach residents and increase the fee from $195 to $275 for non-residents to better align with current market rates for similar summer day camp programs. At its June 2, 2026 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission recommended City Council approval of the fee increase.

Background:

Valley Park Summer Day Camp is a long-standing City-operated program that provides supervised recreational programming for youth ages 6 to 13 during the summer months.

The program operates Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and includes organized games, enrichment activities, arts and crafts, themed events, beach days, and weekly field trips.

The current weekly resident fee of $185 and non-resident fee of $195 have remained unchanged since at least 2012.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3
Past Commission Actions
Discussion:

Staff evaluated summer camp program fees in neighboring jurisdictions, including Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach. Weekly camp fees are approximately $250–$280 in Redondo Beach and approximately $329 in Manhattan Beach, both of which exceed the City’s current weekly registration fee for Valley Park Summer Day Camp.

The program is already operating at more than full cost recovery with current fees, with annual registration revenues exceeding direct operating costs by approximately $15,850.

While the program is not subsidized by the City, the weekly registration fees no longer reflect current market rates for comparable summer camp programs. Therefore, staff recommends increasing the weekly registration fee from $185 for Hermosa Beach residents to $255 for residents and from $195 for nonresidents to $275 for nonresidents, providing annual registration revenues exceeding direct operating costs by approximately $52,600.

The proposed rates remain below or competitive with comparable programs offered in neighboring jurisdictions. Additional program revenue would also assist in supporting the City’s broader financial sustainability efforts while maintaining an affordable and accessible summer program option for families.

Attachment 1 is the current program cost recovery based on the existing weekly registration fees of $185 for residents and $195 for non-residents. Attachment 2 is the program cost recovery based on the proposed weekly registration fees of $255 for Hermosa Beach residents and $275 for nonresidents.

Next Steps
If City Council approves the proposed Valley Park fee update, staff would proceed with preparing the necessary amendments to the City’s Master Fee Schedule for City Council review and consideration through a public hearing. The fee update would then apply to the summer of 2027.

Fiscal Impact:

The proposed fee adjustment for Valley Park Day Camp would increase the weekly registration fee from $185 to $255 for Hermosa Beach residents and from $195 to $275 for nonresidents.

Advisory
Commission:

June 2, 2026
The Commission recommended City Council approval of
updating the weekly registration fee for Valley Park Summer Day Camp to $255 for Hermosa Beach residents and $275 for nonresidents.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 3
The proposed fees are expected to generate an estimated $36,750 increase from $93,100 to $129,850 in annual registration revenue based on anticipated enrollment levels of 70 participants weekly. Staff will review and budget the estimated revenue increase in the upcoming FY 2026-27 Mid-Year Budget review.

Estimated annual program operating costs will remain the same at $77,293.60, which includes staffing, supplies, field trip admissions, and administrative oversight.

Estimated annual direct program operating costs are approximately $77,294 and are not expected to change. Under both the current and proposed fee structures, the program achieves full cost recovery. The proposed fee adjustment would increase the revenue generated above direct operating costs while remaining competitive with comparable programs offered by neighboring agencies.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council REVIEW OF SUBMITTAL OF THE 2025 HOUSING ELEMENT ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT
CEQA: Determine the report is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act. (Community Development Director Alison Becker)

RECEIVE AND FILE
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council receive and file the 2025 Housing Element Annual Progress Report
Executive Summary:

The Housing Element is a mandatory component of every General Plan. Each year, jurisdictions are required to prepare a progress report detailing the status and achievements in implementing their Housing Element, as mandated by Government Code Section 65400. This report must be prepared using the forms adopted by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and submitted to both the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) and HCD by April 1st for the previous calendar year.

Background:

Since 1969, Housing Elements have been a mandatory component of the local general plans because housing is considered by the State legislature to be of vital statewide importance. A Housing Element provides an analysis of a community’s housing needs for all income levels, and strategies to respond to and provide for those housing needs. It is a key part of the City’s overall General Plan and must be updated every eight years. State law establishes that each city accommodates its fair share of affordable housing as an approach to distributing housing needs throughout the state.

The Housing Element planning periods are sometimes referred to as “cycles.” The City’s current Housing Element covers the planning period from 2021 to 2029, which is commonly referred to as the “6th Cycle Housing Element” in reference to the sixth required update since comprehensive revisions to State Housing Element Law occurred in 1980.

For the 6th cycle, the City has been allocated a Regional Housing Needs Assessment of 558 units (232 very low, 127 low, 106 moderate, and 93 above moderate-income units). City Council adopted the 2021–2029 Housing Element at its December 21, 2021 meeting, and the revised Housing Element at its August 8, 2023 meeting. The City’s

Housing Element was certified by the Department of Housing and Community (HCD) Development on August 1, 2024.

December 21, 2021 The City Council conducted a public hearing and adopted the 2021–2029 Housing Element
August 8, 2023 City Council conducted a public hearing and adopted the revised 2021–2029 Housing Element.

Discussion:

The Housing Element Annual Progress Report (Attachment 1) for the 2025 calendar year was prepared using the reporting forms and format required by HCD. The 2025 report reflects Hermosa Beach’s continued pattern of modest annual housing production primarily from units replacing existing ones. During this period, the City issued 21 permits for 22 new residential units, including 10 accessory dwelling units.

The report also captures housing development activities prior to the issuance of building permits. During the 2025 calendar year, the Community Development Department received eight entitlement applications (Precise Development Plans and Subdivisions) for 27 market-rate dwelling units, which are in various stages of review.

The City continued implementing its 6th Cycle programs in accordance with the adopted objectives, policies, and implementation schedule. Program implementation is ongoing, with several programs completed and others in continuous or in-progress status. Notable implementation highlights include:
 Code Enforcement (Program 1): Continued code enforcement activities and implementation of tenant protection and affordable housing preservation regulations for existing mobile home parks, RV parks, and multifamily housing.
 Accessory Dwelling Units (Program 6): The City updated its ADU regulations to comply with the 2025 legislative updates (SB 1211 and AB2533), which expanded development flexibility.
 Land Value Recapture (Program 7): In late 2025, the Planning Commission conducted its first review of the Land Value Recapture and its effect on residential development. Based on its review, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council amend the program to support housing production.
 Regional Housing Trust (Program 8): In February 2025, the City Council allocated Permanent Local Housing Allocation funds to the South Bay Regional Housing Trust (SBRHT).

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 3
 Neighborhood Improvements (Program 14): Completed three Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects that improved accessibility through ADA curb ramps, accessible pedestrian pathways, and street improvements.

Overall, the City continued to make measured progress toward implementing its Housing Element by preserving existing housing, facilitating new housing production, investing in neighborhood infrastructure, advancing regional housing partnerships, improving housing-related services, and maintaining compliance with state housing law requirements.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

Staff Report No. 26-CDD-064
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council

APPROVAL OF A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH IK

CONSULTING, LLC FOR ON-GOING ACCELA CIVIC PLATFORM SOFTWARE

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
(Community Development Director Alison Becker)

APPROVE
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Approve an agreement with IK Consulting, LLC for on-going Accela Civic Platform software technical assistance for a three-year term through July 28, 2029, with an amount not-to-exceed $90,000 (Attachment 1), and approve the updated scope of services (Attachment 2);

2. Authorize the City Manager to approve minor, non-substantive modifications to the proposed agreement, if needed, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney; and

3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the proposed agreement, with the City Clerk attesting the proposed agreement, subject to approval by the City Attorney.

Executive Summary:

The Community Development Department uses Accela Civic Platform to manage permitting, inspections, code enforcement, planning, and related public-facing services.

Since 2021, IK Consulting, LLC has provided specialized Accela configuration and implementation support to assist the City with system setup, workflow improvements, reporting, training, and ongoing technical assistance.

The City's current agreement with IK Consulting, LLC expires June 30, 2026. To continue implementation and modernization of the Accela Civic Platform, staff recommends approval of a new professional services agreement with IK Consulting, LLC for a threeyear term and a total not-to-exceed amount of $90,000, allocated at $30,000 per year.

The proposed agreement (Attachment 1), including the updated scope of services (Attachment 2), would support continued configuration, fee and payment updates, public portal improvements, integrations, training, reporting, troubleshooting, and implementation support across City modules.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 4
Background:

The Accela Civic Platform is the City's digital permitting and workflow system for services including permit intake, plan review routing, inspections, code enforcement, planning applications, records, fees, reports, and public-facing application functions. The system is an operational tool used by staff and the public to process development, permitting, inspection, enforcement, and related records.

On May 13, 2021, the City entered into an agreement with IK Consulting, LLC for configuration services needed to support implementation of the City's permitting software.

The agreement has been amended to extend the term and provide additional compensation for continued Accela implementation support. On March 24, 2026, the City Council approved the fourth amendment to increase the not-to-exceed amount by $23,000, resulting in a total not-to-exceed amount of $82,725. The current agreement expires June 30, 2026.

The City continues to require specialized Accela technical assistance. Like many smaller jurisdictions, the City does not have sufficient internal staffing capacity to perform all configuration, workflow, integration, reporting, fee update, training, and public portal modernization work needed to maintain and improve the platform.

Past Actions
Date Description
May 13, 2021
City entered into an agreement with IK Consulting, LLC to provide as-needed Accela Civic Platform consulting services for a not-to-exceed amount of $29,725 and a term expiring June 30, 2022.

July 1, 2022
City and IK Consulting, LLC executed the first amendment to extend the agreement for an additional year, through June 30, 2023.

May 24, 2023
City and IK Consulting, LLC executed the second amendment to extend the agreement for an additional year, through June 30, 2024.

May 15, 2024
City Council approved the third amendment to increase the not-to-exceed amount by $30,000, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $59,725 and extend the agreement through June 30, 2026.

March 24, 2026
City Council approved the fourth amendment to increase the not-to-exceed amount by $23,000, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $82,725, for continued Accela Civic Platform
technical assistance.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 4
Discussion:

The proposed agreement would continue as-needed technical assistance for the City's Accela Civic Platform. The scope includes support for Building and Safety, Code Enforcement, Planning, Public Works, permit processing, inspections, records, fees, payments, reports, dashboards, public-facing services, and related system administration.

The new agreement is recommended because the prior agreement is expiring and the City's needs have expanded beyond the original implementation work. The proposed scope includes continued support for configuration and workflow optimization, fee and payment functions, public portal and website-related modernization within Accela's Public Portal, reporting and dashboards, data cleanup, user roles and permissions, training, testing, troubleshooting, release support, and integrations with related City-approved systems. The City has not yet formally decided to implement each of the specific systems identified in the scope, such as Laserfiche, OpenCounter, ePermitHub, finance/payment systems, GIS or mapping systems, or other third-party systems. Those systems are listed to preserve flexibility for ongoing City needs, available software functions, and similar City-approved tools or integrations that may be needed during the term of the agreement.

IK Consulting, LLC has demonstrated specialized knowledge of the City's Accela environment and provides continuity for ongoing implementation work. Approval of the proposed agreement would allow the City to continue improving Accela functionality, reduce interruption to current projects, and support internal staff and public-facing permitting services.

Environmental Analysis:

Approval of the proposed professional services agreement is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act because it is an administrative and fiscal activity that would not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15378(b)(5).) Fiscal Impact:

The proposed agreement has a total not-to-exceed amount of $90,000 over a three-year term, allocated at $30,000 per year.

Funding for FY 2026-27 is proposed from $30,000 in Records Technology Fees reserved in the 715 Equipment Replacement Fund. Staff will budget the remainder of the agreement terms as part of the City’s upcoming future annual budgets.

Executive Summary:

Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Project 504 – Playground Equipment Replacement Project dedicated budget for the replacement, and repair, of playground equipment at

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 5
Valley Park, Seaview Park, and South Park. In November 2025, Council approved the purchase of the playground equipment prior to advertisement of the project for construction. Staff received 2 bids for the construction of the Project and recommends City Council award a construction contract to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder R.E. Schultz Construction, Inc.

Background:

As part of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 budget process, staff identified the need for replacement and improvements to playground equipment in several City parks. City Council approved CIP 504–Playground Equipment Replacement to address these needs and included the following improvements at three parks: Valley Park, Seaview Parkette, and South Park, further detailed below.

Valley Park:
 Full replacement of the existing play structures (for ages 2 to 5 years old) with a new unit that includes integrated shade sails and installation of a new rubberized safety surface.
 Repairs to two existing play structures (for ages 5 to 12), including the addition of an integrated shade sail and rubberized surface.

Seaview Parkette:
 Full replacement of the existing play structures (for ages 2 to 5) with a new unit featuring integrated shade sails and rubberized safety surface.

South Park
 Repairs to the existing rubberized mat at the playfield center to ensure safety and accessibility.

The purchase of playground equipment through a cooperative purchase agreement was approved at the November 17, 2025, City Council Meeting (Attachment 6) to ensure receipt of material prior to advertising the project for installation. Following the purchase of the playground equipment, Staff prepared a bid package to retain a qualified contractor for the installation. This bid package was advertised in May 2026.

Past Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
November 17, 2025 City Council authorized the purchase of playground equipment from Landscape Structures, Inc. through a
cooperative purchase agreement with Sourcewell
in an amount not to exceed $179,782.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 5
Analysis:

In May 2026, staff issued Notice Inviting Bids 26-003 for experienced and qualified construction firms to submit a bid for construction of the project through a competitive process. The notice was advertised in the Easy Reader, on the City’s website, the City’s online bidding platform, PlanetBids, and in relevant construction trade journals. During the advertisement period, 27 prospective bidders downloaded the project documents from PlanetBids, including general contractors and subcontractors. Staff held a pre-bid site walk on May 13, 2026, attended by 7 participants.

On May 26, 2026, the City received a total of two bids, which were opened and read aloud by the City Clerk. The bid results are provided in Attachment 3 and summarized below.

Bid Results

BIDDER BID AMOUNT
R.E. Schultz Construction, Inc. $209,440
Micon Construction, Inc. $293,308
The lowest bid from R.E. Schultz Construction, Inc. is within the available funding for the project identified in the FY 2025–26 budget. The second lowest bid from Micon Construction, Inc. goes beyond available funding for the project by over $20,000.

R.E. Schultz Construction, Inc. was found to be the lowest responsible and responsive bidder with a bid for $209,440 (Attachment 4). Staff confirmed R.E. Schultz Construction’s contractor license is active and in good standing with the Contractor’s State License Board. Staff contacted R.E. Schultz Construction’s references and confirmed their competency through completion of recent projects of similar scope of work within the past five years. Past clients include the City of Newport Beach, City of San Marcos, and Poway Unified School District. All reviewed projects were completed on time and within budget. Overall, staff finds R.E. Schultz Construction, Inc.to be a qualified contractor to complete the proposed work for the subject project and recommends City Council award the construction contract to R.E. Schultz Construction, Inc. (Attachment 1).

If awarded, City staff would provide construction management and inspection services during construction. Staff anticipates construction for CIP 504 Playground Equipment Replacement Project to begin as soon as August 2026, with an anticipated completion date in September 2026. Staff would schedule the construction to start after the City’s Valley Park Summer Day Camp season, which concludes August 7, 2026.

Environmental Analysis
The Project is exempt under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities). The proposed work is a minor alteration of existing public structures or facilities involving negligible or no expansion of existing use. Further the Project is exempt

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 5
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15302 (Replacement and Reconstruction) as the proposed work consists of reconstruction of existing court structures where the new courts will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. No exceptions to the CEQA exemption apply.

Options for Council Consideration:
 Option 1 (Recommended): Approve and award a construction contract for CIP 504 – Playground Equipment Replacement Project which will allow the City to install previously purchased playground equipment by September 2026, enhance safety, improve shade conditions, and address maintenance needs.  Option 2: Reject the Award of the construction contract and the City will not be able to install the playground equipment or address maintenance needs at City parks.

Fiscal Impact:

CIP 504–Playground Equipment Replacement Project is budgeted in the FY 2025–26 Adopted Budget and funded by the Park/Rec Facility Tax Fund (125) and the Capital Improvement Fund (301) with a combined budget of $270,217. The lowest responsible and responsive bidder, R.E. Schultz Construction, Inc., submitted its bid at $209,440.

Staff recommends establishing a contingency of $42,000 to cover any unforeseen conditions or additional work required during construction for a total construction contract budget not to exceed $251,440.

Sufficient funds are available in the Park/Rec Facility Tax Fund and the Capital Improvement Fund to cover construction costs for CIP–504 Playground Equipment Replacement Project. The funds would cover the full construction, as well as construction management and inspection services for the project. Any unused funds would be returned to the Capital Improvement Fund.
