Staff Report No. 25-PW-085
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT FOR CIP 504 PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT
REPLACEMENT PROJECT
CEQA: Determine that Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”) Project 504 – Playground Equipment Replacement Project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities)
(Director of Public Works Joe San Clemente)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council authorize the purchase of playground equipment from Landscape Structures, Inc. through a cooperative purchase agreement with Sourcewell in an amount not to exceed $179,782.
Executive Summary:
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Project 504 – Playground Equipment Replacement Project dedicated budget for the replacement of playground equipment at Valley Park, Seaview Park, and South Park. Staff is seeking authorization to purchase the replacement equipment from Landscape Structures, Inc. through a cooperative purchase agreement with Sourcewell. The City would then retain a licensed contractor to install the equipment.
Background:
As part of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget process, staff identified the need for replacement and improvements to playground equipment in City parks. City Council approved CIP 504 to address these needs and included the following improvements at 3 three parks (Attachment 1 and Attachment 2):
Valley Park:
Full replacement of the existing ages 2 to 5 play structures with a new unit that includes integrated shade sails and installation of a new rubberized safety surface. Repairs to two existing ages 5 to 12 play structures, including the addition of an integrated shade sail and rubberized surface.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3
Seaview Park:
Full replacement of the existing ages 2 to 5 play structures with a new unit featuring integrated shade sails and rubberized safety surface.
South Park:
Replacement of the rubberized mat at the center playfield area to improve safety and accessibility.
Discussion:
Staff has researched various options for replacement of the above-referenced playground equipment and determined that purchase of the equipment through a cooperative purchase agreement would be the most efficient method for advancing CIP 504. The purchase of equipment from Landscape Solutions will also include a design layout for installation, eliminating the need to bring on, and the added cost of, a designer to do this work; saving the city time for not needing to complete that extra step that would normally be required.
Staff recommends purchasing the new equipment from Landscape Solutions, Inc. through a cooperative purchase agreement with Sourcewell (Contract #010521-LSI). As a member agency of Sourcewell, the City of Hermosa Beach may utilize Sourcewell competitively, and nationally, advertised cooperative purchasing agreements to ensure competitive pricing and expedite the procurement process. Sourcewell administers a process similar to the City’s formal procedure for procurement and services including public advertisement of Requests for Proposals (RFP)and Requests for Qualifications (RFQ), collecting and scoring proposals, and awarding contracts to qualified vendors.
Sourcewell is able to consolidate the purchasing power of many agencies, which take advantage of their services, to negotiate more favorable prices and deeper discounts from vendors. The discounted pricing through the Sourcewell agreement is reflected in the cost proposals and shows an 8 percent price reduction versus normal market pricing. Utilizing these services saves the City time by ensuring competitive, and discounted, pricing and eliminating the need to prepare a separate solicitation process, which can take several months to complete.
Per Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Section 3.12.140(E), purchases made through cooperative purchasing agreements maintained by state, county, or other public agencies, are exempt from the City’s formal bidding procedures..
If approved by City Council, staff will order the equipment and then prepare a bid package to retain a qualified contractor for the installation. It is anticipated that the equipment will take up to 2 months to be delivered, pending availability, and following issuance of a purchase order by the City. Staff will work concurrently during this period to prepare a solicitation to competitively advertise the installation with a qualified contractor; that procurement and contract award process is anticipated to take approximately 3 months.

Environmental Analysis:
The installation of new playground equipment and associated minor alterations are consistent with CEQA Section 15301 Class 1, which provides for repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing public facilities.
Fiscal Impact:
CIP Project 504, Playground Equipment Replacement is included in the FY 2025-26 Budget for $450,000.
Staff recommends authorizing the $179,782 cooperative purchase of playground equipment Staff anticipates that the remaining available budget would be sufficient for the installation of the equipment and associated improvements.

Staff Report No. 26-CCO-015
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
INFORMATIONAL ITEM ON VOTING PROCEDURES FOR BOARD AND
COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS
(City Clerk Martha Alvarez)
DISCUSS AND PROVIDE DIRECTION
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council receive and file this informational item regarding voting procedures for Boards and Commission appointments and consider making changes to the voting process to accommodate Councilmembers participation remotely.
Executive Summary:
At the June 23, 2026, City Council meeting, Councilmember Saemann, with concurrence from Councilmember Francois, requested an informational item summarizing voting procedures for Board and Commission appointments. Staff contacted multiple jurisdictions and compiled their processes, including documentation provided by the Cities of Long Beach and Torrance. This report also reiterates Hermosa Beach’s adopted voting procedure (Paper Voting), approved by City Council in 2018.
Background:
Hermosa Beach has historically used several voting methods for Boards and Commissions appointments, including voice votes, formal motions, paper ballots, and weighted paper ballots. In 2018, City Council adopted Paper Voting Procedure, under which Councilmembers mark their selections on paper ballots, submit them to the City Clerk, and the Clerk reads and tallies the votes aloud.
Tie votes are resolved by re-voting until consensus is reached. If a tie occurs when a Councilmember is absent, the appointment is typically continued to the next meeting to allow all five members to vote.
At the June 23, 2026, City Council meeting, City Council requested a comparative review of voting procedures used by neighboring cities.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 4
Past Board, Commission, and Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
June 12, 2012 Consensus for a Council subcommittee to work with staff to develop a consistent voting policy for making board and commission appointments.
July 24, 2012
Council subcommittee and staff developed consistent voting policy for appointments. Staff presented the voting policy calling for Councilmembers to mark their selection(s) on paper and City Clerk read aloud the selections and tallied the votes.
July 9, 2013 The weighted paper voting system introduced, Councilmembers would mark their section(s) on paper, using a numbered ranking system. City Clerk would read aloud the nominations and tally votes.
July 14, 2015 Councilmembers directed staff to report back with a policy statement on a voting procedure to ensure consistency.
November 13, 2018 Council adopted Option 1 – Paper Voting Procedure (Report No. 18-0688).
June 23, 2026 Councilmember Saemann requested informational item; Councilmember Francois concurred.
Analysis:
Staff contacted neighboring cities to gather information on their appointment processes.
The following summarizes the responses received:
City Voting Process
Carson Applicants submit applications to the Mayor and City Council.
No formal voting. Mayor and City Council decide who to appoint.
Compton Applications are forwarded to City Council. If multiple applicants exist, Mayor recommends a candidate for appointment.
Gardena City Council reviews applications and selects one candidate without formal voting. Remaining applications stay on file for future vacancies. Council contacts the chosen candidate to confirm interest.
Hawthorne Applications go to the Mayor, who decides whether to place them on the agenda. Mayor recommends a candidate; City
Council votes. If no majority is reached, the process repeats.
Lakewood Applicants must reside in the district. City Council votes; majority required. If voting is stagnant or tied, the seat remains open and returns to Council for reconsideration.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 4
City Voting Process
Long Beach Mayor oversees recruitment, selection, and appointment.
Recommended appointments are placed on the City Council agenda for approval. Mayor manages most of the appointment process.
Manhattan Beach Uses a structured, multi-round nomination and voting system:
Nominations: Each Councilmember nominates one person per vacancy; all nominees advance to Round 1. Round 1:
Councilmembers cast one or two votes (max one per nominee).
Nominees with ≥2 votes advance. Round 2: Councilmembers cast one vote. Nominee with ≥3 votes is appointed. If no one reaches 3 votes, nominees with 0–1 votes are eliminated.
Round 3: Conducted only if needed. Councilmembers cast one vote; nominee with ≥3 votes is appointed.
Rancho Palos
Verdes
Majority vote required. For multiple seats, additional rounds are conducted; lower-vote applicants are removed until all seats are filled.
Redondo Beach Mayor and Council privately discuss applicants when multiple candidates apply. Mayor provides a recommendation at the public meeting, and City Council votes yes/no on each
applicant. Interviews occur at one regular meeting; voting occurs at a subsequent meeting.
Rolling Hills Candidates submit letters of interest. A Personnel Committee interviews applicants and recommends a candidate. City
Council and Mayor typically follow the committee’s
recommendation.
Torrance Uses tally mark voting. City Clerk provides binders with applications. Council interviews applicants and nominates candidates during the meeting. Council votes, and highest tallies are appointed.
Options for Council Consideration:
Hermosa Beach uses Paper Voting Procedure, adopted by the City Council in 2018.
Under this method, Councilmembers mark their selection(s) on individual paper ballots prepared by the City Clerk. Once all ballots are completed, Councilmembers submit them to the City Clerk, who reads each vote aloud during the meeting and tallies the results in real time. The applicant receiving the highest number of votes is appointed to the vacancy.
Tie votes, which may occur under any system, are resolved by re-voting until consensus is reached. If a tie occurs when a Councilmember is absent, the appointment is typically continued to the next meeting to allow all five Councilmembers to participate in the vote.
Staff recommends that the City Council consider utilizing an appointment process that remains fully functional when one or more Councilmembers participate remotely. A
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 4
process in which all nominations and votes are stated aloud into the record is the most transparent and accessible method for both in-person and remote participation. Under this approach, each Councilmember would verbally provide their nomination(s), and the City Clerk would tally the votes aloud until an applicant receives the required majority for appointment. Having a multi-round option will provide consistency with Hermosa Beach’s existing paper-ballot procedure, while ensuring that the voting process can be conducted reliably and openly regardless of whether Councilmembers are attending in person or via teleconference.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

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

DATE: July 13, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Landon Philips, Police Chief
Leo Zalyan, Management Analyst
SUBJECT: Crossing Guard Update
Executive Summary
As directed by City Council on January 13, 2026, staff conducted a second Crossing Guard Survey at the intersection of 5th Street and Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) during the week of April 13-17, 2026. Based on the survey results, staff does not recommend adding a crossing guard at the intersection of 5th Street and PCH.
Background
On January 13th, the City Council directed staff to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a more comprehensive pedestrian crossing study at all school crossing locations throughout the City.
Staff estimates that a comprehensive citywide crossing study would cost approximately $25,000 to $30,000, depending on the scope of work, duration of the study, and consultant services required. The estimated cost includes pedestrian counts at all school crossing locations during morning and afternoon school commute periods, data analysis, and preparation of a final report with recommendations.
The survey conducted at 5th Street and PCH was performed by City staff and provides a limited snapshot of pedestrian activity at a single location. Based on the observed pedestrian volumes, staff does not recommend adding a crossing guard at 5th Street and PCH at this time. Staff will continue to monitor conditions and may reevaluate the location should pedestrian activity or safety conditions change in the future.

Should the City Council wish to proceed with a comprehensive citywide crossing study, staff will return with a scope of work, and funding options for Council consideration.
Methodology
Observations were conducted during the morning (7:00 – 8:15 am) and in the afternoon (2:30 – 3:45 pm) period to capture peak school-related and commuter pedestrian activity. At the direction of City Council, only juvenile pedestrians were counted during this follow up survey. The survey was conducted by members of the Police Department, including Community Services Officers (CSOs) and City Manager’s Office staff members. City staff were present at each location to record and tally pedestrian crossing activity.
Second Crossing Guard Results are as follows:
Data Summary
A total of 95 minor pedestrian crossings were
observed during the five-day survey period,
averaging 19 crossings per day. The majority of
crossings occurred during the afternoon
dismissal period, while morning activity
remained relatively low throughout the
observation period.
Based on the survey findings and the available
data, staff concludes that the observed
pedestrian volumes do not support establishing
a new crossing guard assignment at 5th Street
and PCH.
*Data Summary from initial study and memo
dated December 16, 2025.
3 | Page
Fiscal Impact
The cost of keeping the recently added location at 5th and PCH would result in a $23,197 annual increase in FY 2026-27.
Next Steps
Receive and file the Crossing Guard Update. Based on the follow up survey, staff is not recommending an additional crossing guard at 5th and PCH. If City Council wishes to proceed with a comprehensive citywide crossing study, at an approximate cost of $25,000 to $30,000, staff can request bids for consultant services and bring back a proposal for City Council consideration.
