Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
AMENDMENT TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR ON-CALL ARBORIST
CONSULTING SERVICES WITH GREG MINK ENTERPRISES, LLC DBA MINK TREE
CONSULTING
CEQA: Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, City Council action on this item is not subject to environmental review under CEQA because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” (Public Works Director Joe SanClemente)
APPROVE AMENDMENT
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Approve the proposed third amendment to agreement with Greg Mink Enterprises, LLC dba Mink Tree Consulting (Mink Tree Consulting), to provide on-call arborist consulting services increasing the total not-to-exceed contract amount from $60,000 to $100,000 (Attachment 1); and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the proposed amendment, approve minor modifications if necessary, and execute all related documents, with the City Clerk attesting, subject to approval by the City Attorney.
Executive Summary:
Staff requests approval of the proposed amendment to increase the total not-to-exceed contract amount from $60,000 to $100,000 to provide ongoing, on-call arborist consulting services with Mink Tree Consulting.
Background:
The Public Works Department relies on third-party professionals to provide arborist consulting services in support of the City’s maintenance of City-owned trees in parks, medians, and other areas in the City.
In August 2024, the City Manager approved a professional services agreement with Mink Tree Consulting to provide on-call arborist consulting services to the City of Hermosa Beach for an initial not-to-exceed contract amount of $30,000 (Attachment 2). In October 2025, City Council approved the first amendment to increase the not-to-exceed contract amount to $60,000 (Attachment 3). A second amendment to the agreement extended
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3
the term of the agreement to August 2027 as an administrative action (Attachment 4).
Since August 2024, the City has utilized Mink Tree Consulting on multiple tasks including ongoing field visits, research, reports for assessments of tree health and condition, recommendation of pruning and removal of trees, potential hazards and risk assessments, recommendations for tree replacements, review of tree installation specifications, and other as-needed arborist consulting services in coordination with City staff and City contractors. More recently Mink Tree Consulting has been assisting staff with preparing an inventory of City owned trees, and reviewing exiting tree maintenance services scope of work in preparation for a new Request for Proposals (RFP) for tree services that is expected to be advertised in fall 2026.
Past Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
City Council:
October 28, 2025 City Council approved the first amendment to the professional services agreement with Mink Tree Consulting
Discussion:
Staff requests approval of the proposed amendment to increase the total not-to-exceed contract amount from $60,000 to $100,000 for ongoing, on-call arborist consulting services. The contract amendment will allow Mink Tree Consulting to continue supporting staff with timely as-needed arborist advisory services related to any necessary tree removals and replacements safety inspections of trees, and ongoing support of staff in the refinement of the current scope of work and development of more comprehensive tree maintenance specifications for the upcoming tree services RFP. Staff also anticipates utilizing the expertise of Mink Tree Consulting to provide ongoing technical support related to the oversight of tree maintenance services during tree trimming season.
Environmental Analysis:
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, City Council action on this item is not subject to environmental review under CEQA because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” Fiscal Impact:
Approval of this amendment will increase the not-to-exceed contract amount by $40,000, from $60,000 to $100,000 for as-needed work. Sufficient funds have already been budgeted in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2027 budget for the Public Works Administration Contract Services Account for arborist services and in CIP Project Budgets for specific projects which will require arborist services. No additional appropriation is required for this contract amendment.

Staff Report No. 26-CMO-044
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council RATIFY LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR SENATE BILL 799 - SOUTH BAY REGIONAL
HOUSING TRUST
(Senior Management Analyst Sara Russo)
RATIFY LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR SENATE BILL 799
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council ratify a letter of support (Attachment 1) sent July 30, 2026, supporting Senate Bill 799 – South Bay Regional Housing Trust.
Executive Summary:
The City of Hermosa Beach regularly expresses its support or opposition regarding matters that would have an impact on the City. The letter represents a step toward strengthening coordination for a regional housing trust in the South Bay region.
Background:
On July 17, 2026, Executive Director of the South Bay Cities Council of Governments, Jacki Bacharach, requested cities to send letter of support for an amendment to Senate Bill 799. This amendment would allow the trust to fund workforce housing with public funds. As it currently stands, the bill has only been amended to only allow a trust to use private funds.
Analysis:
Senate Bill 799 (SB 799) updates the statutory authority governing the South Bay Regional Housing Trust (SBRHT), a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) established by Los Angeles County and participating South Bay cities to finance affordable housing. The bill modernizes the Trust's governance and expands the types of housing activities it may support. The legislation does not create a new housing mandate or require additional local funding. Instead, it provides the Trust with greater flexibility to leverage state, federal, local, and private resources.
SB 799 makes several significant changes:
Expands the Housing Trust's authority to support housing for moderate-income households using private funding sources.
Authorizes the Trust to finance the preservation of existing affordable housing, including permanent supportive housing.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 2
Allows the Board of Directors to appoint alternate members, improving attendance and governance continuity.
Revises board appointment procedures by allowing the governance structure to be established through the Joint Powers Agreement rather than statute. Retains existing transparency requirements, including annual financial reporting and audits.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Re: Support for SB 799 (Allen)-South Bay Regional Housing Trust Senator Allen:
The City of Hermosa Beach supports SB 799 (Allen), which would make important revisions to the South Bay Regional Housing Trust (SBRHT) enabling the SBRHT to serve a broader range of income levels—including moderate-income (workforce) households with private funding—and to fund the preservation of existing affordable housing in addition to new construction, while also expanding the governance structure to allow more flexible and qualified Board representation. Although the inclusion of the ability to fund workforce housing with private dollars is an improvement, SB 799 should be amended to allow the SBRHT to fund moderate-income (workforce) housing with any funds, public or private, available for this use.
In November 2025, the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) Board of Directors recommended that its member cities form and join the SBRHT. 11 cities have joined the SBRHT which held its inaugural Board meeting on April 30th and made its first funding award for 93 affordable housing units in the City of Hawthorne at its May 21st meeting.
With the implementation of the SBRHT, certain administrative revisions to its formation legislation have been identified that would allow the SBRHT Board to operate more effectively and be more responsive to its own governance needs and to the communities it serves. Those organizational amendments have been made to the bill and that is greatly appreciated.
Outstanding are two amendment requests that we urge you to incorporate:
First, the bill adds authority for the SBRHT to fund the planning and construction of housing for persons and families of moderate income (150% AMI) but only using private resources.
This should be expanded to allow the SBRHT to also access public dollars that allow for that use. The SBRHT must be able to serve moderate-income households—a population that is increasingly cost-burdened in the South Bay but often falls above the threshold for
1315 Valley Drive, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 | hermosabeach.gov | HermosaBeachCity HermosaBchCity
traditional affordable housing programs. Teachers, medical professionals, city workers, and even police officers and firefighters are unable to afford to live in the communities they serve. Additionally, the South Bay is the home of the Los Angeles Air Force Base and the Space Force and they have a critical need for moderate (workforce) housing as they are planning to expand. Additionally, with the proposed November ballot proposition which we understand will provide funding for trusts to use their funds for moderate (workforce) housing, without this amendment to allow the SBRHT to use public funds for this type of housing, we would be prohibited from accessing these new state funds should the proposition be successful. And lastly, the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Housing Trust, also formed through state legislation, is not restricted to a private funding-only model. The SBRHT should not be restricted either
Second, while the bill expressly adds the SBRHT to fund the preservation of existing housing—not just planning and new construction—for extremely low, very low, and low income households due to the high cost of land and the need for moderate housing by the Los Angeles Air Force Base as one example, adding preservation for moderate income housing would be very helpful. Preserving existing affordable and moderate-income units is more cost-effective and immediately responsive than building new ones, and this change to add moderate income units gives the SBRHT a critical additional tool to protect the at-risk housing stock in the South Bay, particularly naturally occurring affordable housing.
The City of Hermosa Beach supports the requested changes as they will meaningfully advance the production and preservation of affordable for low income as well as workforce housing throughout the South Bay region. For these reasons, Hermosa beach supports SB 799.
Sincerely,
Michael Detoy

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
RATIFY LETTER OF SUPPORT TO ENGAGE WITH TASK FORCE FOR MEASURE G
(Senior Management Analyst Sara Russo)
RATIFY LETTER OF SUPPORT TO ENGAGE WITH TASK FORCE FOR MEASURE G Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council ratify a letter of support (Attachment) sent August 4, 2026, supporting efforts to engage with the task force for Measure G.
Executive Summary:
The City of Hermosa Beach regularly expresses its support or opposition regarding matters that would have an impact on the City. The letter represents a step towards understanding the new structure associated with Measure G.
Background:
In November 2024, voters in Los Angeles County passed one of the most significant changes to governance structure in the history of Los Angeles, Measure G.
A key element of Measure G is that change to an elected County Executive Officer (CEO), essentially creating a strong-Mayor form of government. Several adjustments over the decades in County operations and governance have occurred, but none with such wideranging impact. This systemic change will impact the way all 88 cities in Los Angeles will work with the County.
For the past year, the County’s Measure G Task Force has been working on recommendations to the Board of Supervisors regarding the implementation of Measure G. Measure G provided the general statutory authority for the new position. Still, the Measure did not and could not capture how and in what manner the County CEO will work with the 88 incorporated cities.
Analysis:
On August 3, 2026, city staff was notified that the San Gabriel Council of Government City Managers raised concerns on the potential impacts of Measure G on incorporated cities. A study by the Rose Institute of Local Government concluded several impacts to the San Gabriel cities under this new form of governance. They have shared this
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 2
information with the Gateway Cities Council of Government as well as the South Bay Cities Council of Government.
Cities are requesting the task force hear from them in a formal and structured engagement process before proceeding with a preliminary concept which will be presented to the Board of Supervisors regarding how the County CEO will work with the 88 cities is an intergovernmental relations function.
The perspectives of incorporated cities are an important part of this discussion. As the democratically elected governments representing approximately 8.7 million Los Angeles County residents, cities offer practical experience and local insight that can help inform recommendations affecting service delivery, regional coordination, and governance throughout the County.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this recommendation.

Re: Engagement of Incorporated Cities in the Development of County Executive Officer Recommendations
Dear Chair and Members of the Measure G Task Force:
On behalf of the City of Hermosa Beach, thank you for your service regarding Measure G.
The Task Force has been entrusted with developing recommendations that will shape one of the most significant changes to the governance and operational structure of Los Angeles County in decades.
Because those recommendations will define the role, authority, and responsibilities of the new County Executive Officer (CEO), we respectfully request that the Task Force formally engage Los Angeles County's 88 incorporated cities before submitting its final recommendations to the Board of Supervisors. Given the CEO's broad operational responsibilities and the direct impact this position will have on municipal governments, meaningful input from cities will strengthen the Task Force's recommendations and help ensure the new governance structure reflects the realities of service delivery throughout Los Angeles County.
Los Angeles County is unlike any other county in the nation. Its 88 incorporated cities are home to approximately 8.7 million of the County's nearly 9.8 million residents. The County and its cities work in close partnership every day to provide essential services, respond to emergencies, implement regional initiatives, and address issues that cross jurisdictional boundaries. This relationship is especially significant for the County's 42 contract cities, which rely on the County to provide essential municipal services such as law enforcement and fire protection. As the County Executive Officer assumes responsibility for overseeing County departments and operations, the effectiveness of that office will depend in part on its ability to coordinate with municipal governments throughout the County.
While the Task Force has identified legislative affairs as one of the operational areas under consideration. We encourage the Task Force to recognize, however, that the relationship between Los Angeles County and its incorporated cities extends well beyond traditional
1315 Valley Drive, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 | hermosabeach.gov | HermosaBeachCity HermosaBchCity
legislative or intergovernmental affairs. Unlike the County's interactions with the state or federal government, the County and its cities are operational partners with shared responsibilities that require continuous coordination to serve residents effectively.
Accordingly, we encourage the Task Force to consider how its recommendations can reflect the CEO's role in fostering collaboration with incorporated cities across the full range of County operations. This includes coordination on public safety, fire protection, public works, regional planning, homelessness services, public health, emergency management, and other regional functions where County and municipal governments work together.
Providing greater clarity regarding the CEO's responsibility to engage with cities on these shared operational issues would strengthen the governance framework envisioned by Measure G.
The perspectives of incorporated cities are an important part of this discussion. As the democratically elected governments representing approximately 8.7 million Los Angeles County residents, cities offer practical experience and local insight that can help inform recommendations affecting service delivery, regional coordination, and governance throughout the County.
Accordingly, we respectfully urge the Task Force to conduct a formal and structured engagement process with incorporated cities before presenting its final recommendations to the Board of Supervisors. Direct municipal input will help ensure the Task Force's recommendations are informed by the governments that will work most closely with the new CEO and will strengthen long-term coordination between the County and its cities.
Thank you for your consideration and for your commitment to strengthening governance throughout Los Angeles County. We appreciate the opportunity to provide these comments and look forward to continued collaboration.
Sincerely,
Michael Detoy

Dear Mayor Detoy,
Grades of Green, a nonprofit working in your community, has just been named California Nonprofit of the Year by Al Muratsuchi. This is a wonderful honor for us and we wanted to be sure you are aware of it.
The annual California Nonprofit of the Year initiative is an opportunity to celebrate the government-nonprofit partnerships that support our economies and our communities. For the past 10 years, legislators from across California have chosen a Nonprofit of the Year in their district in celebration of California Nonprofits Day, which is on May 20th this year.
While nonprofits are recognized for their service and good works in communities, it’s also important to note the economic impact of nonprofits in our state. California’s nonprofits:
• Now rank as the third largest private employer in the state • California nonprofits generate $260 billion in total economic activity every year, producing more jobs than the real estate, finance or construction industries. • California’s nonprofits bring $40 billion into the state each year from out-of-state. • There are more than 109,000 nonprofits registered in California, of which 2/3 are all-volunteer organizations.
The California Association of Nonprofits (CalNonprofits) proudly sponsors this important celebration of nonprofits in partnership with the state Assembly and Senate Select Committees on the Nonprofit Sector.
CalNonprofits, the leading policy voice for California’s nonprofit sector, focuses on advocacy, education, and research to build a more powerful and politically engaged nonprofit network across the state.
We hope that you will join us in celebrating this important award as California Nonprofit of the Year in Los Angeles! Please don't hesitate to contact us with questions or comments on this award.
Best Regards,
Kelley Lê, Ed.D.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
APPROVAL OF MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH THE HERMOSA
BEACH CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT AS PART OF A FEDERAL GRANT APPLICATION
FOR A SCHOOL VIOLENCE PREVENTION PROGRAM
(Police Chief Landon Phillips)
APPROVE
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Approve the Memorandum of Understanding (Attachment 1) with the Hermosa Beach City School District for their federal grant application under the United States Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, School Prevention Program;
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the proposed Memorandum of Understanding, with the City Clerk attesting to the agreement, subject to approval by the City Attorney.
Executive Summary:
The Hermosa Beach City School District (HBCSD) has applied for federal assistance under the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), School Prevention Program for the 2026 – 2027 grant cycle.
The School Prevention Program provides funding to improve security at schools and on school grounds through evidence-based school safety programs and technology. As part of this grant, federal guidance recommends a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between HBCSD and its partners. The City of Hermosa Beach, the Hermosa Beach Police Department, and Beach Cities Health District were recognized as partners by the HBCSD and requested an MOU to be approved and signed as part of their federal grant application.
Background:
The Hermosa Beach City School District (HBCSD) currently has three school sites in the City of Hermosa Beach: Hermosa View School, Hermosa Vista School, and Hermosa Valley School. Many residents in the City of Hermosa Beach have children that attend or have attended these schools. The City of Hermosa Beach (City) and the Hermosa Beach Police Department (HBPD) have an existing working relationship with HBCSD through ongoing tabletop exercises, active shooter training, annual safety plan reviews, and other collaborations. Due to these partnerships, the City and HBPD recognize that campus
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3
safety in Hermosa Beach is important to students, teachers, and the community. Having interagency coordination would be beneficial to HBCSD, the City, and HBPD.
Discussion:
As part of the Memorandum of Understanding, HBCSD has outlined the roles of each agency and the responsibilities that would be completed throughout the federal grant cycle. HBCSD would serve as the lead fiscal agent and administrative authority for the grant and ensure long-term project sustainability.
The Hermosa Beach Police Department would be responsible for collaborating with HBCSD to help align HBPD’s communications with the proposed school security infrastructure and integrate surveillance feeds to allow real-time law enforcement patchin capabilities during active incidents. HBPD would conduct annual summer active shooter drills across all three district campuses and have regular physical walkthroughs with HBCSD’s Maintenance and Operations staff to audit vulnerabilities. HBPD would participate in ongoing multi-agency threat assessment processes and deliver community safety and education presentations.
The City of Hermosa Beach would assist in integrating municipal dispatch protocols with HBCSD’s new on-campus security and panic notification technology. The City would continue annual interagency emergency operation planning and tabletop scenarios to refine municipal response protocols.
Beach Cities Health District (BCHD) would update their programs and resources to align with HBCSD’s upgraded campus security protocols and continue to maintain its Youth Diversion Program as an alternative to the juvenile justice system involvement.
If HBCSD is awarded the federal grant, the grant period would run from 2026 through 2029 and would require HBCSD and all its participating partners to remain committed to the project for the duration of the grant period. The proposed MOU reaffirms the partnership between HBCSD, the City, and HBPD, as well as their shared commitment to maintaining a safe and secure community.
Options for Council Consideration:
1. Approve the proposed MOU.
2. Approve the proposed MOU with modifications;
3. Decline to approve the proposed MOU; or
4. Provide alternative direction to staff.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the approval of the memorandum of understanding.

Staff Report No. 26-CMO-042
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
PROGRAM AND MUNICIPAL CODE UPDATES FOR SHORT-TERM RENTALS CEQA: Determine that the approval is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), or in the alternative, that the approval is exempt under CEQA. (Administrative Services Director Brandon Walker and Senior Management Analyst Ken Bales)
A) CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING
B) PROVIDE DIRECTION
C) INTRODUCE ORDINANCE BY TITLE
D) DETERMINE EXEMPT FROM CEQA
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Receive a presentation from staff regarding proposed changes to short-term rental (“STR”) program;
2. Provide direction to staff regarding updates to the STR program;
3. Approve the proposed repeal of Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (“HBMC”) sections 17.08.025 “Short-Term Rentals Prohibited” and 17.42.180 “Short-Term Vacation Rentals” in their entirety; and
4. Introduce by title only and waive further reading of an ordinance amending Chapter
3.32 of Title 3 and adding Chapter 5.84 to Title 5 of the HBMC (Attachment 2).
5. Find that adoption of the proposed ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption).
Executive Summary:
On April 23, 2026, the Los Angeles County Superior Court entered judgment in the Koerner v. City of Hermosa Beach litigation concerning the City’s regulation of STRs within the Coastal Zone (“Judgment”). The practical effect of the Judgment is that STRs may operate within the Coastal Zone unless and until the City obtains California Coastal Commission (“Coastal Commission”) approval for additional Coastal Zone STR regulations. Staff recommends:
1. Updating the HBMC to recognize that STRs may operate within the Coastal Zone consistent with the Judgment and to establish registration, business license, transient occupancy tax (“TOT”), safety, nuisance, and information-reporting requirements;
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 8
2. Repealing the current STR pilot program provisions in HBMC Title 17, which were not approved by the Coastal Commission; and
3. Providing direction regarding potential additional STR regulations for future consideration and, if necessary, submittal to the Coastal Commission for approval.
Background:
In 2016, Council adopted an ordinance prohibiting STRs in all residential zones in the City. The City established an STR pilot program in October 2019 under Title 17 of the HBMC in certain commercial districts in the City. The current STR program requires an administrative permit and requires the property to be located within one of the following zones C-2, C-3, SPA 7, SPA 8, or SPA 11. This program operated for multiple years with less than a dozen administrative permits granted during the course of the STR program – all within the Coastal Zone.
On April 23, 2026, the Los Angeles County Superior Court entered the Judgment. The Judgment determined that the City’s prohibition of STRs within the Coastal Zone was unenforceable because the City had not obtained Coastal Commission approval for that regulation. The Judgment has the following practical effects:
STRs may operate within the Coastal Zone unless and until the City adopts additional Coastal Zone STR regulations, and obtains any required Coastal Commission approval;
The 2019 STR pilot program regulates STRs in certain commercial areas, including areas within the Coastal Zone, but was not approved by the Coastal Commission; and the Judgment does not preclude the City from imposing and collecting generally applicable TOT and business license taxes from STR operators.
Past Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
April 23, 2026 Los Angeles County Superior Court Judgment entered in Koerner v City of Hermosa Beach litigation.
March 24, 2026 City Council adopted an ordinance amending Title 3 of the HBMC.
October 10, 2019 City Council adopted an ordinance establishing an STR pilot program in Title 17 of the HBMC.
Discussion:
The current regulations under HBMC Title 17 restrict STRs within the Coastal Zone without Coastal Commission approval and therefore do not reflect the Judgment.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 8
To align the HBMC with the Judgment, staff recommends the following actions:
1. Repeal HBMC section 17.08.025, “Short-Term Rentals Prohibited,” which prohibits offering a residential dwelling for less than 30 consecutive days for compensation or consideration;
2. Repeal HBMC section 17.42.180 “Short-Term Vacation Rentals”, which establishes the current pilot program allowing STRs in certain commercial zones (including areas within the Coastal Zone) and was not approved by the Coastal Commission; and
3. Amend Chapter 3.32 to Title 3 of the HBMC to update the City’s TOT provisions and add Chapter 5.84 to Title 5 of the HBMC to recognize that STRs may operate within the Coastal Zone consistent with the Judgment, prohibit STRs outside the Coastal Zone, and establish registration and operating requirements (Attachment 2).
Staff is proposing a streamlined online registration, TOT payment, and compliance process for STR program administration, at least on an interim basis while the City considers whether to pursue additional Coastal Zone regulations. Under proposed Chapter 5.84 of the HBMC, STR operators in the Coastal Zone would be required to register their properties and pay TOT with the City through an online platform; obtain and maintain a business license; comply with applicable TOT requirements; satisfy specified safety and local-contact requirements; and comply with applicable nuisance regulations.
According to the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office data provided to the City, there are approximately 5,404 residential units located within the Coastal Zone. The vast majority of STRs in Hermosa Beach are located within the Coastal Zone and staff estimate an average of 65 STRs are collecting revenue each month.
In 2022, the City of Manhattan Beach (“Manhattan Beach”) lost a case on the same grounds as the Judgment, in which the court struck down Manhattan Beach’s regulation of STRs in the Coastal Zone without Coastal Commission approval. Manhattan Beach now allows STRs in the Coastal Zone and collects TOT and business license taxes while still prohibiting them in the remainder of the city. To date, Manhattan Beach has not sought a CDP or Local Coastal Plan (“LCP”) amendment to regulate the type or number of STRs in its Coastal Zone.
Here, consistent with the Judgment, additional land-use regulation or restrictions on STRs within the Coastal Zone may require Coastal Commission approval. Cities regulate STRs using a mix of zoning laws, operational caps, and licensing requirements designed to protect housing stock and neighborhood character.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 8
The most common types of rules include:
1. Residency & Ownership Restrictions
These rules are designed to prevent "investor" properties where entire homes are bought solely to be rented out as hotels, removing them from the long-term housing market. a. Primary Residence Requirement: This is one of the most restrictive and common rules in major cities like Los Angeles and New York City. Hosts can only rent out their own primary home (where they live for at least 6 months of the year). This effectively bans "absentee" hosts.
b. Hosted vs. Unhosted Stays: Some cities, such as New York City, strictly ban "unhosted" rentals for stays under 30 days. This means the host must be physically present in the apartment during the guest's stay. Locally, West Hollywood and Santa Monica require hosted stays.
c. One Host, One Home: Cities may limit a host to operating only a single STR listing to prevent commercial operators from running illegal hotel chains across multiple properties.
2. Time & Duration Limits
Cities often limit how "short" a rental can be or how often it can be rented to reduce churn and tourist traffic in residential areas.
a. Annual Night Caps: A hard limit on the number of nights a unit can be rented per year. For example, Los Angeles and London cap unhosted rentals at 120 nights and 90 nights per year, respectively. Palm Springs limits properties to 26 bookings per calendar year.
3. Location & Zoning Restrictions
a. Zoning Bans: California cities may explicitly ban STRs in areas outside of the Coastal Zone.
b. Density Caps: To prevent "hotelification" of specific neighborhoods, cities can cap the percentage of units in a building or block that can be short-term rentals. c. Buffer Zones: Some regulations require a minimum distance (e.g., 750 feet) between licensed STR properties to prevent clustering.
4. Property Type Exclusions
Certain types of housing are often protected to ensure they remain available for local residents.
a. Rent-Controlled & Affordable Housing: Cities like Los Angeles strictly prohibit STRs in rent-stabilized units or income-restricted affordable housing to protect vulnerable tenants.
b. ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) Bans: While ADUs (granny flats) are encouraged for long-term housing, cities like San Diego and Los Angeles have restricted or banned using them as short-term rentals to ensure they serve their intended purpose of adding housing supply.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 8
5. Operational & Safety Mandates
a. Licensing & Display: Hosts can be required to register with the city, pay a fee, and display their permit number on their Airbnb/Vrbo listing. Platforms are increasingly legally required to remove listings without valid numbers. b. Platform Accountability: SB 346 can compel platforms like Airbnb to share host data (names, addresses, nights booked) with the city to aid in enforcement and tax collection.
c. Occupancy & Nuisance Rules: Strict limits on the number of guests (e.g., "2 adults per bedroom") and bans on parties/events and noise limits can be adopted. Some cities require a designated "local contact" who can respond to noise complaints within one hour.
Depending on Council direction regarding the type of regulatory program and features Council would like staff to pursue, staff will return with more detailed options for future discussion before preparing any application or other submittal requiring Coastal Commission approval.
Pending Council direction on any additional Coastal Zone STR regulations, staff recommends the proposed framework requiring STR operators in the Coastal Zone to register their properties with the City; obtain and maintain a business license; comply with applicable TOT requirements; and satisfy the operating requirements in proposed Chapter 5.84 of the HBMC. The City may enforce these requirements, including applicable nuisance regulations, through administrative citations and other available remedies.
If Council chooses to implement the proposed framework and not pursue additional Coastal Zone STR regulations at this time, staff recommends a one-year evaluation period with a report back to Council on the following metrics:
1. Total number of STR registrations;
2. Total reported STR rental revenue;
3. Total reported STR transient occupancy tax collected; and
4. Total number of reported complaints made to Community Development and Police Department.
No-Fault Eviction Restriction
Council could consider, as part of a future STR regulatory program, establishing a waiting period that would prohibit or delay approval of an STR following a no-fault eviction of a long-term tenant. The primary objective would be to discourage displacement of longterm tenants for conversion to more lucrative STR use and help preserve the community's long-term rental housing supply. The restriction would not prohibit an otherwise lawful nofault eviction, but would limit the owner's ability to subsequently obtain STR approval for
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 6 of 8
a specified period. This restriction is not included in the proposed ordinance before the Council.
Other California jurisdictions have adopted similar restrictions. The City of Goleta requires a 24-month waiting period for a non-hosted STR when the dwelling has been subject to a no-fault eviction, while the City of Berkeley generally prohibits STR use of a unit that has experienced a no-fault eviction within the preceding five years. These approaches demonstrate that the length and scope of the restriction can be tailored to local housing and STR policy objectives.
Potential Benefits
Discourages displacement of long-term tenants for conversion to STR use. Supports preservation of the long-term rental housing inventory. Establishes a clear and objective STR eligibility standard. Is consistent with approaches used by other California jurisdictions.
Potential Drawbacks
May restrict an owner's use even when a lawful eviction was unrelated to STR conversion.
Requires procedures to verify prior no-fault evictions. May require exceptions for changes in ownership or other circumstances unrelated to tenant displacement.
If Council wishes to pursue this option in the future, key considerations include the length of the waiting period; whether it applies to all or only non-hosted STRs; whether the restriction follows the property after a sale; whether limited exceptions should apply; and whether Coastal Commission approval would be required before applying the restriction within the Coastal Zone.
Staff also recommends including provisions authorized by California Senate Bill 346 requiring STR facilitators to provide information to the City, including:
1. Physical Address: Upon request by the City, STR facilitators shall report the physical address and/or assessor’s parcel number (“APN”) of each STR used on the facilitator’s platform.
2. Website Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”): Upon request by the City, the STR facilitator shall also provide the website URL of all operators within the City for past, present, and future bookings.
3. Frequency of Data: The STR facilitator shall provide updated information to the City within thirty (30) days of any removal, addition, or relocation of a STR within the City, or any change in the website URL for a STR within the City.
4. Audits: The City may audit STR facilitators, at the City’s expense, to ensure compliance of STRs.

Options for Council Consideration:
Option #1 – Permit STRs within Coastal Zone and Prohibit Outside Coastal Zone and Review Potential Regulations After One Year
(Staff Recommendation Attachment 1)
Pro:
o Majority of STRs have historically operated within the Coastal Zone. o Consistent with the effect of the Judgment.
o Allows staff to use a year of metrics to best determine future regulation options for Council consideration.
o Greater potential for TOT revenue and avoids the uncertainty associated with a Coastal Commission review process at this time.
Con:
o Presents a major policy change for the City.
o Fewer rules may generate more complaints regarding operation of STRs, creating an enforcement burden on staff.
o Potential displacement of long-term renters.
Option #2 – Adopt Option #1 on an Interim Basis Only; Direct Staff to Return with Regulatory Program for Future Coastal Commission Review Pro:
o Consistent with effect of the Judgment; majority of STRs have historically operated within the Coastal Zone.
o May help address community concerns over STRs sooner than a one-year review.
Con:
o Presents a major policy change for the City.
o Approval period and ultimate outcome of Coastal Commission review unknown.
o Additional rules present a greater enforcement burden on staff. o Could significantly reduce the amount of TOT the City would realize based on historical STR rental data.
o Potential displacement of long-term renters.
Option #3 – Permit STRs Citywide; Direct Staff to Return with Regulatory Program for Future Coastal Commission Review
Pro:
o Consistent with the Judgment in the Coastal Zone.
o Allows property owners outside the Coastal Zone to legally operate STRs. o Greatest potential for TOT revenue.
Con:
o Presents a major policy change for the City.
o Approval period and ultimate outcome of Coastal Commission review unknown.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 8 of 8
o Additional staff burden to track and collect TOT, business license fees, and enforce nuisance violations citywide.
o Potential displacement of long-term renters citywide.
Fiscal Impact:
There is a significant opportunity for revenue generation by the City through TOT and business license tax enforcement. The majority of STRs in the City are located within the Coastal Zone and generate substantial amounts of TOT from visitors. Based on past STR rental information, Staff estimate ongoing TOT revenue up to approximately $1,000,000 with an additional $25,000 in business license revenue for a total of up to $1,025,000 in additional General Fund revenue annually.
Enforcement costs may be partially offset by administrative fines and City Staff will review the TOT revenue on a periodic basis.
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”):
Staff recommends that the City Council find that adoption of the proposed ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment. Although the ordinance recognizes that STRs may operate within the Coastal Zone consistent with the Judgment, it does not authorize any specific development, construction, or physical alteration of property; and primarily establishes tax, registration, business license, nuisance, safety, and information-reporting requirements. Accordingly, no further environmental review is required.

17.42.180 OF THE HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE; (2) AMENDING CHAPTER 3.32 RELATING TO TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX; (3) ADDING CHAPTER 5.84 RELATING TO SHORT-TERM RENTAL REGISTRATION AND OPERATING REQUIREMENTS; AND (4) FINDING THE ACTION EXEMPT
FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
WHEREAS, the City of Hermosa Beach ("City") is authorized by the California Constitution (Section 7 of Article XI) to make and enforce within its limits local, police, sanitary, and other ordinances and regulations not in conflict with general law; and
WHEREAS, the City established a short-term rental (“STR”) pilot program under Title 17 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code ("HBMC") on October 10, 2019, which authorized STRs in specified commercial and specific plan areas subject to an administrative permit; and
WHEREAS, on April 23, 2026, the Los Angeles County Superior Court entered judgment in the Todd and Thomas Koerner v. City of Hermosa Beach (Case No. 25STCP0089) lawsuit concerning the City's regulation of STRs within the Coastal Zone (“Judgment”); and
WHEREAS, the City Council (“Council”) desires to update the HBMC in response to the Judgment by: (1) repealing the existing STR provisions in HBMC Title 17; (2) recognizing that STRs may operate within the Coastal Zone consistent with the Judgment; and (3) continuing to prohibit STRs outside the Coastal Zone; and
WHEREAS, the Council further desires to establish registration, business license, transient occupancy tax (“TOT”), safety, nuisance, and hosting-platform requirements for STRs; and
WHEREAS, the Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing on August 25, 2026, at which time it received and considered all testimony and evidence concerning this Ordinance.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Incorporation of Recitals. The above recitals are true and correct, and are incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 2. Repeal of Existing STR Provisions. HBMC sections 17.08.025 and

Exhibit A
Chapter 3.32, “Transient Occupancy Tax,” of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:
Chapter 3.32 Transient Occupancy Tax
3.32.010 Title for citation.
This chapter shall be known as the uniform transient occupancy tax law of the City.
3.32.020 Definitions.
Except where the context otherwise requires, the definitions given in this section govern the construction of this chapter:
Hotel means any structure which is occupied or intended or designed for occupancy by transients for dwelling, lodging, or sleeping purposes; and includes any hotel, inn, tourist home or house, hostel, short-term rental, motel, studio hotel, bachelor hotel, lodging house, rooming house, apartment house, dormitory, public or private club, mobile home or house trailer at a fixed location, or other similar structure or portion thereof.
Occupancy means the use or possession or the right to the use or possession of any room or portion thereof in any hotel for dwelling, lodging, or sleeping purposes.
Operator means the person who is the proprietor of the hotel or short-term rental; whether in the capacity of owner, lessee, sublessee, mortgagee in possession, licensee, and includes companies that arrange for reservations online. Though the operator performs their functions through a managing agent of any type or character other than an employee, the managing agent shall also be deemed an operator for the purposes of this chapter; and shall have the same duties and liabilities as their principal. Compliance with the provisions of this chapter by either the principal or the managing agent shall, however, be considered to be compliance by both.
Person means any individual, firm, partnership, joint venture, association, social club, fraternal organization, joint stock company, corporation, estate, trust, business trust, receiver, trustee, syndicate, or any other group or combination acting as a unit.
Exhibit A Page 2 of 9
Rent means the consideration charged, whether or not received, for the occupancy of space in a hotel or short-term rental valued in money; whether to be received in money, goods, labor, or otherwise (including all receipts, cash, credits and property and services of any kind or nature without any deduction therefrom whatsoever).
Short-Term Rental means any single-family dwelling unit or multi-family dwelling unit (or portion thereof) that is rented, leased, licensed, or made available and occupied for a period of thirty (30) consecutive calendar days or less.
Tax Administrator means the administrative services department director or designee of the City.
Transient means:
1. Any person as defined in this section who exercises for any period of time occupancy or is entitled to occupancy by reason of payment, concession, permit, right of access, license or other agreement; or
2. Any individual who personally exercises occupancy or is entitled to occupancy by reason of payment, concession, permit, right of access, license, or other agreement for a period of thirty (30) consecutive calendar days or less.
Any such person or individual so occupying space in a hotel or Short-Term Rental shall be deemed to be a transient.
Transient Occupancy Facility means a hotel or short-term rental.
3.32.030 Tax imposed.
For occupancy of any hotel or short-term rental as defined, each transient is subject to and shall pay a tax in the amount of fourteen (14) percent of the rent or bill charged by the operator. Said tax constitutes a debt owed by the transient to the City which is extinguished only by payment to the operator of the hotel or short-term rental at the time the rent or bill is paid. If the rent or bill is paid in installments, a proportionate share of the tax shall be paid with each installment. The unpaid tax shall be due upon the transient’s ceasing to occupy space in the hotel or short-term rental. If for any reason the tax due is not paid to the operator, the transient shall pay tax directly to the Tax Administrator.
3.32.40 Exemptions from tax.
No tax shall be imposed upon:
Exhibit A Page 3 of 9
A. Any person as to whom, or any occupancy as to which, it is beyond the power of the City to impose the tax herein provided;
B. Any federal or state of California officer or employee when on official business; C. Any officer or employee of a foreign government who is exempt by reason of express provision of federal law or international treaty.
No exemption shall be granted except upon a claim made at the time rent or payment is collected and under penalty of perjury upon a form prescribed by the Tax Administrator.
3.32.050 Operator’s duties.
Each operator shall collect the tax imposed by this chapter to the same extent and at the same time as the payment or rent is collected from every transient. The amount of tax shall be separately stated from the amount of the rent charged, and each transient shall receive a receipt for payment from the operator. No operator of a hotel or short-term rental shall advertise or state in any manner, whether directly or indirectly, that the tax or any part thereof will be assumed or absorbed by the operator; or that it will not be added to the rent; or that, if added, any part will be refunded except in the manner hereinafter provided.
3.32.060 Registration of hotel.
Within thirty (30) days after the effective date of this chapter, or within thirty (30) days after commencing business, whichever is later, each operator of any hotel or short-term rental renting occupancy to transients shall register said hotel or short-term rental with the Tax Administrator and obtain from them a transient occupancy registration certificate to be at all times posted in a conspicuous place on the premises. Said certificate shall, among other things, state the following:
A. The name of the operator;
B. The address of the hotel or short-term rental;
C. The date upon which the certificate was issued;
D. "This Transient Occupancy Registration Certificate signifies that the person named on the face hereof has fulfilled the requirements of the Uniform Transient Occupancy Tax Law by registering with the Tax Administrator for the purpose of collecting from transients the Transient Occupancy Tax and remitting said tax to the Tax Administrator. This certificate does not authorize any person to conduct any unlawful business, conduct any lawful business in an unlawful manner, or operate a hotel or short-term rental without
Exhibit A Page 4 of 9
strictly complying with all applicable local laws (including but not limited to those requiring a permit from any Board, Commission, Department, or Office of this City). This certificate evidences registration for transient occupancy tax purposes only and does not constitute a land-use permit or other regulatory authorization."
3.32.070 Reporting and remitting.
Each operator shall (on or before the last day of the month following the close of each calendar quarter, or at the close of any shorter reporting period which may be established by the Tax Administrator) make a return to the Tax Administrator, on forms provided by them, of the total rents charged and received and the amount of tax collected for transient occupancies. At the time the return is filed, the full amount of the tax collected shall be remitted to the Tax Administrator. The Tax Administrator may establish shorter reporting periods for any certificate holder if they deem it necessary in order to ensure collection of the tax, and they may require further information in the return.
Returns and payments are due immediately upon cessation of business for any reason.
All taxes collected by operators pursuant to this chapter shall be held in trust for the account of the City until payment thereof is made to the Tax Administrator.
3.32.80 Penalties and interest.
A. Original Delinquency. Any operator who fails to remit any tax imposed by this chapter within the time required shall pay a penalty of ten percent of the amount of the tax in addition to the amount of the tax.
B. Continued Delinquency. Any operator who fails to remit any delinquent remittance on or before a period of thirty (30) days following the date on which the remittance first became delinquent shall pay a second delinquency penalty of ten percent of the amount of the tax in addition to the amount of the tax and the ten percent penalty first imposed and an additional penalty of ten percent (10%) will accrue for each thirty (30) days thereafter until payment of all remittance due plus penalties is paid.
C. Fraud. If the Tax Administrator determines that the nonpayment of any remittance due under this chapter is due to fraud, a penalty of twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of the tax shall be added thereto in addition to the penalties stated in subsections A and B of this section.
D. Interest. In addition to the penalties imposed, any operator who fails to remit any tax imposed by this chapter shall pay interest at the rate of one-half of one percent (0.5%)
Exhibit A Page 5 of 9
per month or fraction thereof on the amount of the tax (exclusive of penalties) from the date on which the remittance first became delinquent until paid.
E. Penalties Merged with Tax. Every penalty imposed and such interest as accrues under the provisions of this section shall become a part of the tax herein required to be paid.
3.32.090 Failure to collect and report tax–determination by Tax Administrator.
If any operator shall fail or refuse to collect said tax and to make within the time provided in this chapter any report and remittance of said tax or any portion thereof required by this chapter, the Tax Administrator shall proceed in such manner as they may deem best to obtain facts and information on which to base their estimate of the tax due. As soon as the Tax Administrator shall procure such facts and information as they are able to obtain upon which to base the assessment of any tax imposed by this chapter and payable by any operator who has failed or refused to collect the same and to make such report and remittance, they shall proceed to determine and assess against such operator the tax, interest and penalties provided for by this chapter. In case such determination is made, the Tax Administrator shall give a notice of the amount so assessed by serving it personally or by depositing it in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the operator so assessed at their last known place of address. Such operator may, within ten (10) days after the serving or mailing of such notice, make application in writing to the Tax Administrator for a hearing on the amount assessed.
If application by the operator for a hearing is not made within the time prescribed, the tax, interest, and penalties if any determined by the Tax Administrator shall become final and conclusive and immediately due and payable. If such application is made, the Tax Administrator shall give not less than five (5) days’ written notice in the manner prescribed herein to the operator to show cause at a time and place fixed in said notice why said amount specified therein should not be fixed for such tax, interest and penalties. At such hearing, the operator may appear and offer evidence why such specified tax, interest, and penalties should not be so fixed. After such hearing, the Tax Administrator shall determine the proper tax to be remitted and shall thereafter give written notice to the person in the manner prescribed herein of such determination and the amount of such tax, interest, and penalties. The amount determined to be due shall be payable after fifteen (15) days unless an appeal is taken as provided in Section 3.32.100.
3.32.100 Appeal.
Exhibit A Page 6 of 9
Any operator aggrieved by any decision of the Tax Administrator with respect to the amount of such tax, interest, and penalties if any may appeal to the City Manager or their designee by filing a notice of appeal with the City Manager or their designee within fifteen (15) days of the serving or mailing of the determination of the tax due. The City Manager or their designee shall fix a time and place for hearing such appeal, and give notice in writing to such operator at their last known place of address.
3.32.110 Records.
It shall be the duty of every operator liable for the collection and payment to the City of any tax imposed by this chapter to keep and preserve for a period of four (4) years all records as may be necessary to determine the amount of such tax as the operator may have been liable for the collection and payment of to the City, which records the Tax Administrator shall have the right to inspect at all reasonable times.
3.32.120 Refunds.
A. Whenever the amount of any tax, interest or penalty has been overpaid or paid more than once or has been erroneously or illegally collected or received by the City, it may be refunded as provided in this section; provided that a written claim is timely filed in accordance with the requirements of section 3.08.010.
B. An operator may claim a refund or take as credit against taxes collected and remitted the amount overpaid, paid more than once, or erroneously or illegally collected or received when it is established in a manner prescribed by the Tax Administrator that the person from whom the tax has been collected was not a transient; provided however, that neither a refund nor a credit shall be allowed unless the amount of the tax so collected has either been refunded to the transient or credited to rent subsequently payable by the transient to the operator.
C. A transient may obtain a refund of taxes overpaid or paid more than once or erroneously or illegally collected or received by the City by filing a claim in the manner provided in subsection A of this section; but only when the tax was paid by the transient directly to the Tax Administrator, or when the transient having paid the tax to the operator, establishes to the satisfaction of the Tax Administrator that the transient has been unable to obtain a refund from the operator who collected the tax.
D. No refund shall be paid under the provisions of this section unless the claimant establishes their right thereto by written records showing entitlement thereto.

D. If the Tax Administrator does not comply with the request for a tax clearance certificate, the purchaser, transferee, or other person that obtains ownership of the transient occupancy facility shall not be liable for any transient occupancy tax obligation incurred prior to the date of the purchase or transfer of the property.
E. The tax clearance certificate shall state the following:
1. The amount of tax, interest, and penalties then due and owing;
2. The period of time for which the tax clearance certificate is valid; and
3. That the purchaser, transferee, or other person may rely upon the tax clearance certificate as conclusive evidence of the tax liability associated with the property as of the date specified on the certificate.
F. Any purchaser, transferee, or other person who does not obtain a tax clearance certificate under this section (or who obtains a tax clearance certificate that indicates that tax is due and owing and fails to withhold for the benefit of the City sufficient funds in the escrow account for the purchase of the property to satisfy the transient tax liability) shall be held liable for the amount of tax due and owing.
G. The fee for issuance of a tax clearance certificate shall be established by resolution of the City Council.

Meeting Date: August 25, 2026
Staff Report No. 26-AS-060
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council TO INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING PURCHASING CHAPTER 3.12 AND
3.14 OF THE HBMC INCREASING CITY MANAGER AUTHORITY, UPDATING
PROCUREMENT THRESHOLDS, EMERGENCY PURCHASING AND CLARIFYING REFERENCES TO CA PUBLIC CONTRACT CODE; AND EXEMPT FROM CEQA (Finance Manager Henry Chao)
INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE BY TITLE
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Introduce by title only and waive first reading of an ordinance amending Chapters
3.12 and 3.14 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (“HBMC”) to increase City Manager authority, establish emergency purchasing procedures, and clarify references to the California Public Contract Code (“PCC”) (Attachment 1); and
2. Authorize the City Manager to determine Consent Calendar placement for routine items to improve meeting efficiency, while preserving any Councilmember’s ability to pull an item for separate discussion under Municipal Matters.
Executive Summary:
At its March 10, 2026 meeting, the City Council expressed interest in modernizing the City’s purchasing and procurement procedures. In response, staff recommends amending the HBMC purchasing provisions which was last updated over a decade ago in June 2015 to increase the City Manager’s contract authority from $30,000 to $50,000; establish emergency purchasing authority for emergency purchases necessary for the immediate preservation of public health, safety, or welfare; and update related code provisions accordingly.
Separately, staff recommends amendments related to administration of the Consent Calendar process to improve meeting efficiency and allow greater focus on substantive Municipal Matters. While the City of Hermosa Beach (“City”)’s governance protocols reference a general $100,000 threshold for Consent Calendar consideration, staff recognizes that fiscal amount alone is not determinative. Accordingly, staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to administratively determine placement of routine items on the Consent Calendar; while preserving the ability of any Councilmember to pull an item for separate discussion under Municipal Matters.

Past Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
March 10, 2026
The City Council requested a future agenda item to consider increasing the City’s contract threshold limits, including the City Manager’s signing authority and consent calendar approval guidelines.
Analysis:
Amend City Manager Procurement Threshold (HBMC Section 3.12.035) The City currently maintains a City Manager purchasing authority threshold of $30,000.
This authority has not been updated for over a decade as the last update occurred in June 2015.
The current purchasing threshold needs updating as it no longer reflects inflation and changes in current operating costs and the increasing demands of municipal service delivery.
As a result, many routine purchases such as professional service agreements, purchases of goods, and operational needs require City Council approval even when they are administrative in nature and already budgeted. Each formal purchase requires additional steps such as preparing staff reports and City Council approval. From a timeline perspective, the formal purchase process can take months to complete. This low threshold can delay projects, reduce operational responsiveness, and increase administrative workload for both staff and the City Council.
Staff is recommending updating the purchasing authority from $30,000 to $50,000 to reflect current operational needs. Items in excess of $50,000 would require Council approval.
Raising the purchasing authority would streamline day-to-day operations, improve responsiveness to infrastructure and service needs, reduce unnecessary agenda items, and allow the City Council to focus more strategically on policy and long-range planning.
Existing financial internal controls, competitive procurement requirements, and budget oversight would remain in place.
The staff-proposed $50,000 purchasing limit for the City Manager would be in line with neighboring South Bay beach cities. For comparison purposes, staff surveyed other cities’ purchasing authority limits. Neighboring South Bay beach cities which recently updated their purchasing ordinance maintain higher purchasing or contracting authority thresholds than the City:

1. Information obtained from City’s most recent Annual Comprehensive Financial Report or Budget Book.
2. Purchasing level obtained from review of the HBMC or neighboring City’s Municipal Code.
3. Purchasing information for City of Torrance obtained from review of City’s Purchasing Guidelines.
Amend Emergency Management Purchases (HBMC Section 3.12.060) Currently, the HBMC states purchasing provisions are exempt in times of an emergency and that a procedure should be established for emergency purchases.
Staff recommends the ordinance identify the City Manager as the authority to waive purchasing procedures and make emergency purchases in the event of an emergency.
This would ensure efficient emergency response and align the City Manager’s purchasing authority with emergency operations. Emergency purchases would need to be reported to City Council within a reasonable time, not to exceed sixty (60) days; or if reporting within sixty (60) days is impracticable, as soon as practicable thereafter.
To provide redundancy in an emergency, staff recommends the ordinance include language delegating purchasing authority to an appointed management employee or Department Director as necessary. A Department Director would be well versed in the day-to-day City operations and understand the necessary responses in times of a City emergency or natural disaster.
Other Purchasing Section Amendments (HBMC Section 3.12) Staff recommends updating the following HBMC purchasing provisions to be in line with the recommended $50,000 City Manager threshold and other minor changes. Updating HBMC 3.12.080 to increase the open market purchase threshold for supplies and equipment from less than $15,000 to $50,000. Updating HBMC 3.12.080 to increase the required three-quote threshold from $1,000 to $5,000. Departments shall obtain at least three quotes for purchases exceeding $5,000 when practicable.
Updating HBMC 3.12.090 to increase the formal bidding threshold from $15,000 to $50,000.
Clarifying references to the PCC in HBMC 3.12.140 Exempt Purchases by deleting the outdated January 1, 2019, parenthetical dollar amounts ($60,000 and $200,000)”.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 5
Amend Uniform Public Construction Bidding Procedures (HBMC Section 3.14.010) Chapter 3.14.010 adopts bidding procedures under the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (“UPCCAA”) that was initially introduced on September 12, 2023, and adopted by City Council unanimously. Currently, the section states the City Manager is authorized to award contracts for maintenance projects and public projects up to the $75,000 limit of PCC 22032(a). Meanwhile Chapter 3.12.140 was updated at the same time delegating signing authority for the City Manager to not exceed the monetary threshold applicable to the formal bidding procedure for public projects set forth in PCC 22032(c) (currently $220,000) resulting in an inconsistency in the HBMC.
When Chapter 3.14.01 was introduced to City Council for consideration, the intent was for the City Council to delegate to the City Manager signatory authority to award of contracts for both maintenance services and public projects up to the applicable UPCCAA informal bidding threshold under PCC 22032(b), as adjusted from time to time.
Staff recommends amending HBMC 3.14.010 to change references from PCC 22032(a) to PCC 22032(b) and to replace any fixed dollar amounts tied to PCC 22032 with references to the applicable statutory thresholds, as amended from time to time, to ensure consistency with the UPCCAA.
Consent Calendar Placement Item Recommendations (Separate from Ordinance) In the City, the distinction between Consent Calendar items and Municipal Matters is rooted in the City’s emphasis on transparency, public engagement, and collaborative governance.
The Consent Calendar is intended for routine administrative actions where the City Council considers the item procedurally with respect to previously established policy, budget authority, or prior direction; and where little to no public controversy or deliberation is anticipated. Its purpose is to efficiently process operational business so the City Council can focus meeting time on more substantive community issues.
Municipal Matters, by contrast, are generally reserved for issues involving new policy direction, significant discretion, broader fiscal or community impact, or matters likely to generate public interest and Council discussion. In practice, the City has historically favored fuller public deliberation for matters carrying policy sensitivity or meaningful community implications; even where formal action authority may otherwise exist.
The City’s governance protocols describe Consent Calendar items as routine matters that are budgeted, previously directed by City Council, involve no anticipated public input and generally fall below a $100,000 expenditure threshold. At the same time, the expenditure threshold is not a perfect proxy for whether an item warrants more in-depth public discussion, as some lower-cost items may still involve important policy considerations or community interest.

Consistent with that framework, staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to administratively set the Consent Calendar to improve meeting efficiency, streamline routine operational approvals, and allow City Council meetings to focus more effectively on substantive policy and governance matters. Importantly, this approach preserves full City Council oversight because any Councilmember retains the ability to pull a Consent Calendar item during the meeting for separate discussion and consideration under Municipal Matters if additional deliberation is desired.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the recommended actions. City purchases must be within Council-approved City budgets.
