Is there a redlined version of the City's Conflict of Interest Policy so what has been added and taken out is readily apparent? If not why not?
Thanks

PUBLIC COMMENT tony higgins Dear City Council & Council Candidates I think its fair to ask what have you and our current City Council said & done about speeding on busy residential roads in Hermosa Beach.
Eric Horne has put together a fairly good action plan and IMV he get more points than the others candidates on the handling of speeding dangers on residential collector roads.
Elka Worner has also cited specific problem streets and her personal observations on several occasions and gets a few extra points The other city council candidates, to the best of my knowledge, have acknowledged, there is a problem but only spoken very generally saying there is a problem.
Moreover the current council has allowed the future agenda item on the residential neighborhood speeding to languish for 3 1/2 years without being heard.
But on the positive side, if there is a positive side in a 3.5 year delay on a significant public safety hearing, it's that a hearing will be held in the Oct 27 Council meeting.
Candidates often call for more efficient government so maybe you can kill a few birds with one stone.
I hope you all candidates will speak to their positions on how to best address the speeding dangers in the 10/27 city council meeting public hearing and ask staff why it took 3.5+ years to get a staff report when we have over $300,000 in open traffic engineering consultant on the books during this timeframe.
Staff will tell you this issue has only been a future agenda item since August.
What they wont say is why the future agenda item that originated in May of 2023 by unanimous council vote was deleted from the future agenda item calendar in August of this year. tonyhiggins.

Ecomment Report
PUBLIC COMMENT tonyhiggins Re: STVRs
Dear City Council,
We need clear STVR policy goals that put resident living in the coastal neighborhoods first; AND then collect city revenue but only within that framework.
Goal 1:
In as much as is possible only allow Home-Share's within residential neighborhoods. No unhosted STVRS in residential neighborhoods.
Goal 2:
Allow unhosted STVRs only in Commercial mixed use zones in as much as is possible.
Goal 3:
Commit to having Land Use Plan ammendments covering home-shares, unhosted STVRs, density caps and STVR cluster prevention packaged and ready to submit to the Coastal Commission for approval in 6-8 months maximum.
Goal 4:
Make baseline Stvr measurements as of Sept 2026 so the number of STVRs the coastal commission can demand we retain is not artificially inflated by waiting 6-12 or 24 months if you believe Councilman Keegan.
Goal 5
Don't rely on police reports to assess the potential deleterious noise, parking and traffic impacts of STVRs. These are in all likelihood under-reported.
Instead, actively survey residents currently living near busy STVRs to augment police reports to determine impacts Also, i think some might want to use a 8-12-24 month delay to submit Coastal Zone Land Use amendments to their advantage by allowing inflated STVR site inventories to accumulate that in all likelihood will become the new coastal commission minimum base requirement
Don't be fooled.
Thank you for considering,
tonyhiggins.

CONCEPTUAL
DESIGN - 26-PW060
Laura Pena Dear Mayor, Council Members, and Staff -
As a former stakeholder member of the Citys Economic Development Advisory Group who helped inform the 2022 Economic Development Strategy, I support moving the project forward, but after reviewing the updated staff report, I believe Option 2 approve the conceptual designs with modifications before final design is the strongest choice.
CIP 111 was created in response to the Economic Development Strategy, including its recommendation to direct visitors from PCH, Aviation and Artesia to the beach, pier, parking and business districts while improving our Citys identity and sense of place. Staff now estimates the full CIP 111 program at approximately $774,000, while approximately $542,177 would remain after separating the Chambers $50,000 contribution into CIP 112 for Downtown Wayfinding.
Priorities should therefore be based on visitor conversion and economic impact.
I support administratively separating Downtown Wayfinding into CIP 112, but Council should require one coordinated visitor navigation and design strategy for CIP 111 and CIP 112. Visitors do not experience these as separate capital projects. Their experience is continuous:
recognize Hermosa, enter downtown, find public parking, understand the district, and move easily between Upper Pier, Hermosa Avenue, Pier Plaza, the beach and other visitor serving areas.
I also encourage Council to broaden the digital monuments purpose beyond primarily civic announcements. Its PCH/Pier Avenue location was selected for high visibility to residents and visitors entering or leaving downtown, making it one of our strongest opportunities for economic conversion.
Examples include:
Explore Hermosa Museum Downtown Beach & Pier
Downtown Shops & Dining Pier Avenue
Public Parking Downtown & Beach
Explore Beyond the Beach Upper Pier Ahead
These messages can support commercial activity without advertising an individual business. Our recently accredited Museum is an excellent example of a cultural destination that can extend visitor stays and encourage circulation into our commercial districts.
I also want to emphasize the importance of honoring the work that led to this project. The Economic Development Committee and stakeholder group spent roughly two years working with the business community, property owners and City staff to identify practical ways to strengthen our economy. Only a small number of recommendations became standalone capital projects, including this wayfinding/signage effort. It would be disappointing if those business and stakeholder voices were not meaningfully reflected in the final design, messaging priorities and implementation.
The Chambers decision to redirect its $50,000 contribution toward Downtown Wayfinding was specifically intended to enhance navigation, support local businesses and improve the visitor experience. That intent should remain visible in the final project.
I continue to recommend moving away from the dark brown color scheme shown in the current concepts and toward a lighter Coastal Art Deco direction using warm ivory, ocean navy and coastal teal, with strong contrast for vehicular and pedestrian wayfinding. The current brown coloring feels heavy and institutional which is the opposite identity we want for our coastal identity. Because these signs will help shape a visitors first impression of our City for many years, the design and coloring should feel uniquely coastal and immediately recognizable as a place that invites you in.
For these reasons, I recommend Option 2, with Council direction to prioritize signage based on visitor conversion and economic impact; coordinate CIP 111 and CIP 112 as one visual and navigation system; allow visitor serving, cultural and citywide economic development messaging; preserve future sponsorship and revenue flexibility; and establish clear lifecycle maintenance and replacement funding.
The Economic Development Strategy was adopted to support existing businesses, attract tourism, encourage investment and strengthen the local economy.
We should not simply ask how many signs we can afford to build. We should ask whether the final project reflects the economic development goals the community spent years developing and whether it will help bring visitors into our City, move them through our commercial districts, support local businesses and strengthen the Citys long term fiscal position.
After all the time the business community and stakeholders invested in developing this Strategy, their voices should be visible in the result.
As always, I appreciate your thoughtful consideration.

Ecomment Report
CONSIDERATION
OF A
COMPLIMENTARY
HOLIDAY PARKING
PROGRAM - 26-
CMO-054
tonyhiggins Dear City Council,
The chamber is basically asking for a $210,000 tax payer subsidy for the free holiday parking program if I'm reading the staff report correctly.
The city will only recover a very small fraction of this even if a 1.5% local sales tax is approved.
To recover the $210,000 full cost of the Hermosa Beach holiday parking program with a 1.5% local sales tax, local businesses must generate $14,000,000 in total sales.
Note: Parking meter bags generate little TOT.
i guess the chamber can claim that even though its a huge taxpayer subsidy in the midst of a major fiscal crisis; it is justified because without it more local businesses will go under.
I hope you carefully evaluate that claim.
Handing out $210,000 in subsidies at the same time you are asking voters for a local sales tax increase is justifiably questionable. tonyhiggins

Michelle Crispin Dear Mayor and Council Members,
On behalf of the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, we support moving CIP 111 forward with Option 2: approve the conceptual designs with modifications before final design.
This project came out of the Citys 2022 Economic Development Strategy, which called for wayfinding to guide visitors from PCH, Aviation and Artesia to our beach, pier, parking and business districts, along with pedestrian signage to improve navigation.
We see this as more than a signage project - its an opportunity to help visitors find parking, explore beyond Pier Plaza, stay longer and support local businesses.
We support separating Downtown Wayfinding into CIP 112, as long as both projects remain part of one coordinated system. The Chamber previously redirected its $50,000 contribution toward downtown wayfinding. We recommend using those funds for a downtown business and visitor directory, ideally in Pier Plaza.
With the full CIP 111 program estimated at approximately $774,000 - more than the available funding - we ask Council to prioritize the locations and improvements that offer the greatest visitor and economic benefit.
Our requests:
- Approve Option 2
- Keep CIP 111 and CIP 112 coordinated
- Use the Chambers $50,000 contribution for a downtown business and visitor directory - Prioritize navigation, parking access and circulation through our commercial districts - Keep flexibility for future sponsorship and maintenance funding We appreciate our partnership with the City and look forward to working with Council and staff to ensure these investments reflect the Economic Development Strategy and benefit our businesses, residents and visitors.
Thank you,

Laura Pena Dear Mayor, Council Members and Staff -
Thank you for moving forward with removing the condominium CUP requirement and simplifying tentative map review. These steps support our Housing Element. The staff report identifies removing governmental constraints on housing as a key Housing Element objective.
That will hopefully guide tonights discussion: Will the remaining process, standards and fees allow these improvements to translate into homes? For a property owner hoping to create housing removing one permit helps. But requirements that make a modest conversion unnecessarily expensive or difficult can still prevent investment.
My recommendations are as followed:
1. Coordinate this ordinance with Councils direction on PDP reform.
My understanding is that Councils September 8 future agenda item directed further consideration of removing PDP requirements for certain commercial and mixed use projects. The City Manager mentioned he would clarify the matter but no additional information has been provided to the public.
Sections 17.22.100 and 17.22.170 retain PDP requirements, while 17.22.180 separately requires a conversion hearing.
Please consider ministerial review against objective standards for qualifying condominium and mixed use projects with four or fewer dwelling units, including conversions within existing buildings. The report describes Minor PDP review as Director level without a hearing, but administrative and ministerial review are different. Is discretionary approval still necessary for a small project that meets clear standards? Coordinate any change with Chapter 17.74, mixed use regulations and conversion findings so another provision does not restore discretionary review. This would advance the Housing Elements goal of removing governmental constraints.
2. Make existing space conversions feasible.
Section 17.22.060(B) retains minimum sizes of 900 square feet for a one bedroom home and 1,100 square feet for a two bedroom home.
Please consider exempting conversions within an existing buildings envelope from this condominium specific table while maintaining applicable building, fire, accessibility and habitability requirements.
A safe, well designed smaller home should not require expansion simply because it will be owned.
Section 17.22.060(E) requires 200 cubic feet of private storage per unit, with at least half accessible and contiguous to ground level. For housing above a business, that could consume valuable commercial space. Please allow storage within the residential portion or another suitable location through objective standards.
An objective standard can still prevent housing if it is impractical for an existing building. Please evaluate these requirements as potential housing constraints and clarify how lawful existing nonconforming conditions would be treated. This could create smaller homes while preserving storefronts.
3. Reassess fees alongside the reduced workload.
Under proposed 16.08.100, fees cover processing costs. Please confirm and reassess the July 1, 2026 increases identified in my review:
S-012 Tentative Map: $6,040 to $7,518, up $1,478 (24.5%).
S-013 Final Map: $906 to $1,810, up $904 (99.8%).
Will Director level Minor Tentative Maps have a lower fee where they require less work? Does streamlining reduce final map processing costs? Please distinguish City charges from County review or recording charges.
Removing governmental constraints means examining both process and cost. Applicants should benefit from demonstrated savings. Please allow eligible pending applications to elect the new process, with credit for completed work and appropriate reconciliation of fees or deposits.
Our Housing Element gives us a clear purpose: remove barriers so housing can be built. Please deliver a consistent, understandable process that makes investment in existing buildings more feasible and creates more housing opportunities.
As always I appreciate your consideration

CONSIDERATION

COMPLIMENTARY
HOLIDAY PARKING
PROGRAM - 26-
CMO-054
Andrew Gawdun Hey City Council,
It should come as no surprise that a business like us (curious...) in the footprint of Hermosa Beach would ask for a little holiday cheer year after year in free parking during our busiest time of the year. It's a bummer we have to ask again and again and can't just have a multi year contract. It's a bummer we have to petition our City for the support of businesses, but here we are, again.
The holiday season is one of ours and our fellow merchants biggest times of year when we go up against the big box chains to bring cheer and joy to folks. Many merchants need this time of year to survive what is usually the slowest months (January/February) when things have dipped in tourism and economics. Additionally this year with reports of mass amounts of rain a good amount of folks will choose indoor shopping malls due to their free parking lots and indoor shopping allowing them to stay dryer. However offering free parking is an incentive to keep people here. Think of this as a way to partner with your community with holiday spirit. Many of us will proved in store experiences that combined with free parking attracts shoppers even in the rain. And let's be honest if you get your wish for sales tax to increase to 10.75% giving something back annually to the businesses and community that will carry the weight of this, is a measure of good cheer that we could celebrate year after year.

Re: Holiday Parking Program
The Chamber understands the City Council is evaluating a reduction in the duration of the free holiday parking program from four weeks to three weeks. We appreciate the opportunity to provide data insights, and would acknowledge that accurate, empirical evidence directly linking free parking to downtown business sales is difficult to obtain due to limitations in available data.
Sales tax reporting is not possible to isolate December retail performance since it is not reported monthly. To compare business activity before and after the inception of free parking, we would need monthly sales data from the time before the program was implemented, which is not publicly available. Asking downtown businesses for historical sales data is not realistic, especially in large enough numbers to be statistically relevant. We can however, piece together a story from the following:
Foot Traffic Trends & Sales Tax Trends:
Using Q4 data and a Placer.ai report that the Chamber provided to the City in Sept 2024:
● Q4 total sales tax: $312K
○ $208K (downtown) + $104K (Pier Plaza)
● December foot traffic: 35% of Q4
● Extrapolated sales tax:
○ November: $100K
○ December: $109K
○ January: $81K
● Sales tax changes:
○ +9% November/December
○ -26% January
While we can’t isolate free parking as the sole driver, December sees a meaningful uptick that aligns with both shopping behavior and holiday events. The trend is consistent - downtown is most active in December, and this activity aligns with the free parking period.
Business Community Feedback:
We surveyed downtown businesses to rank their preferred 3-week free parking window. Results show from 42 responses that no single 3-week window works for everyone, emphasizing the need for the full 4-week program to accommodate diverse business models (retail, food/beverage, services).
Timeframe 1st Choice 2nd Choice 3rd Choice
Nov. 28 - Dec. 19 45% 10% 45%
Dec. 1 - Dec. 21 30% 48% 22%
Dec. 3 - Dec. 24 56% 19% 24%
Recommendation:
The Chamber recommends the City Council maintain the current 4-week free holiday parking program. This provides the most inclusive support for all types of businesses, is in alignment with the City’s economic and tourism goals, and shows a proven uptick in downtown activity during that period.
If the City is still considering a change, we respectfully request clear advance communication to our impacted businesses. We appreciate the partnership and shared goal of keeping Hermosa Beach thriving during the holiday season.
Best,
Michelle Crispin

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 1 of 3
Meeting Date: October 13, 2026
Staff Report No. 26-CCO-008
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST
CODE FOR THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
(City Clerk Martha Alvarez)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council approve the Conflict of Interest Code (COIC) (Attachment 1) for the City of Hermosa Beach and adopt a resolution (Attachment 2), amending the COIC.
Executive Summary:
Pursuant to the Political Reform Act of 1974 (Government Code Section 81000 et seq.), the City is required to periodically review and update its Conflict of Interest Code to ensure it accurately reflects the City's organizational structure and identifies positions that make or participate in governmental decisions.
Staff completed the required biennial review of the City's Conflict of Interest Code and determined that amendments are needed to reflect organizational changes, including adding new positions, revising existing position titles, deleting obsolete positions, and updating disclosure category assignments. The proposed amendments (Attachment 1) ensure continued compliance with state law and provide transparency regarding financial disclosure requirements for designated officials and employees.
Background:
The Political Reform Act of 1974 requires every local government agency to adopt and maintain a Conflict of Interest Code. The Code identifies designated positions that make or participate in governmental decisions and establishes the scope of financial interests that incumbents in those positions must disclose on a Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700).
State law also requires local agencies to review their Conflict of Interest Codes biennially and amend them when changes in the agency's organizational structure, job classifications, or operational responsibilities warrant revisions.
The Conflict of Interest Code serves two important purposes:
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3
1. It assists public officials and employees in identifying and avoiding conflicts of interest in the performance of their official duties.
2. It promotes transparency and public confidence in governmental decision-making by requiring disclosure of financial interests that may be affected by official actions.
The City's current Conflict of Interest Code was adopted by Resolution No. 24-7451 on August 13, 2024 (Attachment 3).
Discussion:
A Conflict of Interest Code consists of three primary components:
1. Incorporation Section
This section incorporates California Code of Regulations Section 18730, which establishes standard conflict of interest provisions, including disclosure requirements, disqualification obligations, and applicable gift limitations. It also identifies where Statements of Economic Interests are filed and maintained.
2. Designated Positions
The Code identifies positions whose duties involve making, participating in making, or influencing governmental decisions that may have a foreseeable material financial effect.
3. Disclosure Categories
Disclosure categories identify the types of financial interests that designated officials and employees must disclose based upon the nature of the decisions they make or influence.
As part of the biennial review process, staff evaluated the City's current organizational structure and reviewed existing classifications against the filing requirements of the Political Reform Act. Staff determined that amendments are necessary to reflect newly established positions, update position titles, remove obsolete classifications, and revise disclosure assignments where appropriate.
The proposed amendments include:
Additions:
Coordinator I
Coordinator II
Human Resources Technician
Senior Finance Analyst
Title Revisions:
Community Resources Director to Parks and Recreation Director
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 3
Risk Management Analyst to Risk Program Manager
Recreation Manager to Parks and Recreation Manager
Deletions:
Deputy City Manager
Human Resources Analyst
Senior Recreation Supervisor
Senior Building Inspector
The proposed amendments do not expand disclosure requirements beyond what is reasonably related to the duties of designated positions; instead, they ensure the Code remains consistent with the City's current organizational structure and operational responsibilities.
Options for Council Consideration:
Option 1: Approve the proposed 2026 Conflict of Interest Code and adopt the Resolution amending the City's Conflict of Interest Code.
Option 2: Approve the proposed Code with modifications and adopt the Resolution as amended.
Option 3: Direct staff to return with additional revisions for future consideration.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.
Attachments:
1. Proposed 2026 Conflict of Interest Code
2. Draft Resolution
3. Resolution No. 24-7451 (2024 Conflict of Interest Code) Respectfully Submitted by: Martha Alvarez, City Clerk
Legal Review: Jason Baltimore, Interim City Attorney
Approved: Steve Napolitano, City Manager
INCORPORATION
The Political Reform Act (Government Code section 81000 et seq.) requires state and local government agencies to adopt and promulgate conflict of interest codes. The Fair Political Practices Commission (“FPPC”) has adopted a regulation (Section 18730 to Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations) (“FPPC Regulation”) that contains the terms of a standard conflict of interest code which can be incorporated by reference in the City of Hermosa Beach (“City”) Conflict of Interest Code (“Code”).
After public notice and hearing, the FPPC Regulation may be amended by the FPPC to conform to amendments in the Act. Therefore, the terms of the FPPC Regulation and any amendments to it duly adopted by the FPPC are hereby incorporated by reference. The FPPC Regulation and the attached Appendix designating positions and establishing disclosure categories shall constitute the City’s Code.
The Mayor, Members of the City Council and Planning Commission, City Manager, City Attorney, and City Treasurer (collectively, “City Officials”) shall electronically file all required statements of economic interests directly with the FPPC. All other officials and designated positions required to submit a Statement of Economic Interests shall file their statements with the City Clerk as the City’s Filing Officer. The City Clerk shall retain the original statements filed by all other officials and designated positions, and will make all retained statements available for public inspection and reproduction during regular business hours pursuant to Government Code section 81008.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE
OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
SCHEDULE A: DESIGNATION POSITIONS
The Code does not establish disclosure obligations for City Officials who manage public investments (as defined in Section 18700.3 of Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations) because those officials must file Statements of Economic Interests pursuant to Government Code section 87200 et seq. Such officials remain subject to the Code for disqualification purposes.
The Administrative Services Director and Finance Manager positions are Other City Officials who manage public investments. Individuals holding one of these positions may contact the FPPC for assistance or written advice regarding their filing obligations if they believe that their position has been categorized incorrectly. The FPPC makes the final determination whether a position is covered by Government Code section 87200.
CONSULTANTS/NEW POSITIONS:
Consultants and new positions are included in the list of designated positions, and shall disclose pursuant to Categories 1 and 2, the broadest disclosure requirements in the Code (subject to the following limitations):
The City Manager may determine in writing that a particular consultant or new position, although a "designated position", is hired to perform a range of duties that is limited in scope and thus not required to fully comply with those disclosure requirements. Such written determination shall include a description of the consultant's or new position's duties and, based upon that description, a statement of the extent of disclosure requirements. The City Manager's determination is a public record and shall be retained for public inspection in the same manner and location as this Code (Government Code section 81008).
NOTE: City Officials are required to submit disclosure statements pursuant to state law (Government Code sections 87200 et. seq.).
SCHEDULE B: DISCLOSURE CATEGORIES
The disclosure categories listed below identify the types of economic interests that the designated person must disclose for each disclosure category to which the designated person is assigned. Such economic interests are reportable if they are either located in or doing business in the jurisdiction, are planning to do business in the jurisdiction, or have done business during the previous two (2) years in the jurisdiction of the City.
Reporting periods and filing deadlines for Statements of Economic Interests are established by the Political Reform Act and Section 18730 of Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations.
Category 1: Broad Decision-Making Authority
All investments and business positions in business entities and sources of income (including gifts, loans, and travel payments) that are located in, do business in, or own real property within the jurisdiction of the City.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE
OF THE
CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
(Amended August 13, 2024)
The Political Reform Act (Gov. Code § 81000, et seq.) requires state and local government agencies to adopt and promulgate conflict of interest codes. The Fair Political Practices Commission has adopted a regulation (2 Cal. Code Regs. § 18730) that contains the terms of a standard conflict of interest code which can be incorporated by reference in an agency’s code. After public notice and hearing Section 18730 may be amended by the Fair Political Practices Commission to conform to amendments in the Political Reform Act. Therefore, the terms of 2 California Code of Regulations section 18730 and any amendments to it duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission are hereby incorporated by reference. This incorporation page, Regulation 18730 and the attached Appendix designating positions and establishing disclosure categories, shall constitute the conflict of interest code of the City of Hermosa Beach (the "City").
The Mayor, Members of the City Council and Planning Commission, the City Manager, the City Attorney and the City Treasurer, shall electronically file their annual statements of economic interests directly with the Fair Political Practices Commission. All other officials and designated positions required to submit a statement of economic interests shall file their statements with the City Clerk as the City’s Filing Officer.

Meeting Date: October 13, 2026
Staff Report No. 26-PD-013
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
APPROVE A GRANT AGREEMENT WITH THE CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF TRAFFIC
SAFETY THROUGH THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY
ADMINISTRATION FOR THEIR SELECTIVE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM (Police Chief Landon Phillips)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council approve a $72,000 grant agreement from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, for the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) (Attachment 1).
Executive Summary:
The Hermosa Beach Police Department (HBPD) received an OTS-STEP grant in September 2025 to fund several different traffic enforcement operations between October 2025 and September 2026. HBPD applied again for the OTS-STEP grant in January 2026 to continue these operations and was accepted in September 2026 for further funding.
Staff recommends City Council approve the grant agreement authorizing the acceptance of $72,000 from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to reduce alcohol-related accidents and other primary crash factors.
Background:
Every year, OTS offers a variety of grant funding to law enforcement agencies to support efforts to reduce alcohol-related and preventable crashes by enforcing traffic measures.
The OTS-STEP grant specifically focuses on reducing the number of persons killed and injured in crashes involving alcohol and other primary factors like distracted driving. OTS supports law enforcement strategies through impaired-driving enforcement; enforcement operations focused on primary crash factors; night-time seat belt enforcement; special enforcement operations promoting motorcycle safety; enforcement and public awareness in areas with a high number of bicycle and pedestrian crashes; and educational programs.
In this recent grant cycle (October 2025 – September 2026), the following operations were conducted by HBPD:
Two (2) DUI/Driver License Checkpoints
Eight (8) DUI Saturation Operations
Eleven (11) Traffic Enforcement Operations
Twelve (12) Distracted Driving Operations
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3
Two (2) Motorcycle Safety Operations
Three (3) Pedestrian/Bicycle Enforcement Operations
HBPD would like to continue operating these enforcement details for the community’s well-being and safety and has secured another year of funding for the October 2026 – September 2027 grant year.
Discussion:
The Hermosa Beach Police Department is dedicated to promoting traffic safety by enforcing laws and educating the public on primary crash factors, such as distracted and impaired driving. With more special events and the approaching holiday season, HBPD anticipates higher vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
In recent years, HBPD has noticed an increase in traffic crashes in the city. In 2023, HBPD responded to 500 calls for service regarding traffic crashes, while in 2024, that number slightly decreased to 476 calls for service. In 2025, HBPD responded to 493 calls for service related to traffic crashes, a slight increase from 2024. Additionally, the number of DUI arrests has increased between 2023 and 2025; it continues to be a major issue in the City. With recent OTS grant funding, additional officers were in the field conducting enforcement operations focused on distracted driving, e-bikes, traffic enforcement, and other priorities. In addition, officers attended sobriety-related training courses like DUI school and Drug Recognition Education classes to strengthen their field skills. With this past year’s OTS Funding, HBPD successfully implemented different operations and offered training opportunities for newer officers. With the third year of grant funding, HBPD is dedicated to continuing its enforcement efforts in keeping Hermosa Beach safe.
The OTS-STEP grant outlines several objectives for HBPD during the grant period. The Grant Agreement (Attachment 1) includes the full list. Key objectives include:
Training law enforcement personnel through National Highway Traffic Safety Administration programs such as Drug Recognition, Standardized Field Sobriety Testing, and Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement. Conducting highly publicized enforcement operations focused on distracted driving, motorcycle safety, and pedestrian/bicycle enforcement. Conducting DUI/Driver’s License Checkpoints
Providing educational presentations on traffic safety topics, including distracted driving, DUI, speed, bicycle and pedestrian safety, seat belts, and child passenger safety.
As a condition of accepting the OTS-STEP grant, the HBPD must comply with applicable Federal and State requirements and provide the required assurances regarding such compliance.

Staff recommends City Council approve the grant agreement, authorizing the acceptance of $72,000 from OTS to help reduce alcohol-related accidents and other primary crash factors.
Fiscal Impact:
The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, approved HBPD’s funding request, granting the city $72,000 to reduce alcohol-related accidents and other primary crash factors.
Currently, the OTS grant-funded operations and reimbursement revenue are budgeted at the 150 Grants Fund in the FY 2027 Adopted Budget in anticipation of the award.

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Describe the city, county, or jurisdiction this grant will impact.
The city of Hermosa Beach is a community with a residential population of 19,728 (US Census Bureau:
2021) and a daytime/nighttime population which can exceed 75,000. Located 21 miles southwest of Downtown Los Angeles, this urban area is a mix of single family and multi-unit housing and commercial establishments. The city of Hermosa Beach is the home of several major tourist events which take place annually and include the following: Downtown Pier Lighting, several Volleyball Tournaments, Concerts on the Beach, The Hermosa Beach Triathlon, Fiesta Hermosa and Hermosa Octoberfest which are both street fairs. The city regularly attracts the Hollywood film industry. Several feature films and television shows have been filmed in Hermosa Beach. Several sporting events for the LA Kings, Rams, Lakers and Dodgers have also taken place in Hermosa Beach. The city of Hermosa Beach has several bars, restaurants and shops in the downtown area which typically draw a large amount of traffic on weekends and holidays. The city sees an exceptionally large traffic influx during the 4th The city is governed by a Mayor and four City Council members. Law Enforcement services have been provided since incorporation in 1907.
The Hermosa Beach Police Department has authorized 38 sworn positions. The Chief of Police is the highest authority within the department, which is organized into an office and two bureaus: the Office of the Chief of Police, the Administration / Investigation Bureau, and the Field Operations Bureau. Each bureau is headed by a Police Captain who is responsible for managing day-to-day operations.
Describe the problem(s) to be addressed, supported by current and relevant crash data. (most recent calendar year data/stats).
In 2023, the Hermosa Beach Police Department responded to 500 calls for service regarding traffic crashes, representing the highest total across the three-year period. In 2024, calls for service regarding traffic crashes slightly decreased to 476 calls for services. In 2025, we responded to 493 calls for service related to traffic crashes, which is a slight increase when compared to 2024. Based on these figures, the city had a 1.4 percent decrease in the number of calls for service related to traffic crashes from 2023 to 2025.
The number of DUI arrests has increased between 2023 to 2025. In 2023, the Hermosa Beach Police Department made 110 arrests for DUI. In 2024, the number of DUI arrests decreased to 77 drivers arrested for DUI. In 2025, the number of DUI arrests increased to 136. In the year 2024, our department was short staffed. Our staffing levels increased during the last quarter of the year which is when a large portion of our DUI arrests were made. Our current OTS grant allowed our agency to send several new officers to sobrietyrelated training courses which included but not limited to DUI School, Data Master and PAS Device courses and DRE school. In addition to training, the OTS grant allowed us to deploy more officers in our community specifically for traffic related education and enforcement. Our current OTS grant has been an extremely important tool for our agency. Our added enforcement efforts and our DUI checkpoints have caught the attention of our community in a positive way. The number of DUI arrests have increased within our city because of our proactivity and allowing our department to have high visibility throughout the city. With the added funding from the OTS grant, our goal is to lower the amount of DUI arrests in our community through education, enforcement efforts. The Hermosa Beach Police Department has self-funded several of its own DUI checkpoints and DUI enforcement details in the past to help combat this issue.
In 2023 our city has 5 Hit and Run crashes with 6 people injured. In 2024 that number remained steady with 5 crashes and 7 people injured. In 2025, it increased to 6 Hit and Run crashes with 6 people injured. We have seen a decrease in our nighttime crashes over the last 3 years with 10 crashes in 2023 and 5 in 2025. Impaired driving, unsafe turns and unsafe speed remain our three primary crash factors in 2025.
Define the target population the grant intends to serve and how they are affected by the problem(s).
9/15/2026 4:44:43 PM Page 5 of 22
The City of Hermosa Beach anticipates an increase in vehicle and pedestrian traffic due to the number of growing annual special events hosted within the city as well as beach goers and tourists that visit the city during the warm weather months. Some of the special events alone can be in excess of 60,000 attendees. Los Angeles County Lifeguards have in recent summer months estimated our daily beach goer attendance to numbers in excess of 75,000. We also anticipate an increase in people visiting our city for dining out, shopping at stores, visiting the beach, visiting local bars, etc. to increase traffic safety within the community. The department hopes to obtain funding to conduct several traffic enforcement details to reduce the number of traffic crashes and victims by targeting drivers that are engaging in driving habits that have been identified as primary crash factors withing the city. This includes speed, driving under the influence, unsafe turning movements, distracted drivers and more.

Staff Report No. 26-CDD-078
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 1.10 TO MODERNIZE ADMINISTRATIVE CITATION
PROCEDURES
(Community Development Director Alison Becker)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Conduct a public hearing regarding the proposed amendments to the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (“HBMC”);
2. Introduce by title only and waive further reading of an ordinance amending HBMC Chapter 1.10 and Sections 1.04.020, 1.04.050, 1.08.010, and 1.08.070 to modernize administrative citation procedures (Attachment 1), as presented or with Council-directed modifications reflected in the ordinance text; and
3. Find that the proposed ordinance is not a project pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) and is independently exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption).
Executive Summary:
The proposed ordinance would modernize the City's administrative citation procedures, including how violations are noticed, citations are issued and served, payments are processed, and appeals are reviewed. This work follows Council's 2024 review of citation enforcement and collection and builds on the fine-schedule updates and expanded citation-processing services City Council previously approved.
These prior actions updated fine amounts and collection services; this ordinance updates the Municipal Code procedures used to administer that program, including related provisions governing fines, citation authority, and enforcement. The changes would give residents clearer information about violations, correction deadlines, payment obligations, and appeal rights, while giving staff more consistent procedures for issuing and administering citations.
This ordinance is the first phase of a broader review of the Municipal Code provisions supporting enforcement. Following adoption, staff would update operating procedures,
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 8
forms, training, and public information. Staff would consider additional enforcement options and amendments to other code titles separately, subject to Council direction.
Background:
Development of the Citation Program. Chapter 1.10 was established in 2007. Council amended the administrative citation fine schedule in April and June 2024, before the July request for a broader review of enforcement and collections. The chronology below identifies the key actions leading to the ordinance proposed for October 13, 2026.
Council Review of Enforcement and Collections. On July 23, 2024, a future item addressing unpaid administrative citations and possible program changes was requested.
Council considered Report 24-CA-004 on September 24, 2024, including existing procedures, historical collection results, and additional enforcement options. That review prompted continued evaluation of the procedures and tools supporting the citation program.

City Council
November 17, 2025
The City Council approved the proposed first amendment to the agreement with Turbo Data Systems, Inc. to provide
citation processing services for automated processing, billing, payment, mailing, reconciliation, and delinquent collection support.
Completed Fine and Collection Improvements. The City's adopted administrative citation fines are listed in Exhibit F of the Master Fee Schedule, included as Attachment
2. Council updated these fines in 2024 through the actions summarized above. In November 2025, City Council authorized expanded processing and collection support, including billing, mailing, payment processing, reconciliation, and delinquent-collection services through vendor TurboData. The current public payment process offers online payment for citations dated on or after May 21, 2026, along with in-person and drop-box payment at City Hall.
Analysis:
Need for the Ordinance. The prior Council actions addressed fine amounts and collection administration. The Municipal Code separately governs citation authority, notice, correction, service, payment, and appeals. Updating these procedures provides the code framework necessary to support consistent administration of the citation program. The proposed ordinance addresses this procedural component of the issues examined through Council's 2024 review.
Proposed Amendments. The ordinance would update Chapter 1.10 provisions concerning authority and definitions, correction periods, citation processing, service, payment, appeals, hearings, written decisions, judicial review, and records. It would also make conforming amendments to Sections 1.04.020, 1.04.050, 1.08.010, and 1.08.070.
The proposed ordinance is provided as Attachment 1. A red line and clean version of the changes can be found in Attachment 4 and Attachment 5, respectively.
Section Review and Reasons for the Proposed Changes
The following table summarizes the proposed changes and explains their purpose.
Related provisions are grouped for discussion; selecting individual provisions would require corresponding revisions to the ordinance.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 8
Section Why the Change Is Proposed
1.10.010
Purpose and
administration
States the purpose of administrative citations and separates Municipal Code requirements from forms and day-to-day
procedures. This allows operating instructions to be
maintained without repeating them throughout the code.
1.10.020
Definitions
Defines recurring terms, including responsible person,
continuing violation, and the administrative record, to support consistent interpretation and administration.
1.10.030 and 1.10.110
Other remedies and
final orders
Clarifies how administrative citations relate to other remedies and the consequences of failing to comply with a final
correction or abatement order.
1.10.040
Covered violations
Identifies the specific code provisions eligible for
administrative citations and updates references to the
covered titles, chapters, and sections. The intent is to correct references, not authorize administrative citations for every Municipal Code violation.
1.10.045
Notice and correction
Requires notice of potential fine amounts and a reasonable, case-specific correction period for qualifying continuing violations. The listed periods are examples, not mandatory deadlines; additional time is allowed when reasonably
necessary. For property-related violations, an owner copy is required when feasible under the same notice and service provisions; ownership alone does not establish liability.
Enforcement officers establish ordinary correction periods and written compliance schedules. These remain separate from compliance agreements approved by a hearing officer during an appeal.
1.10.050
Fines and collection
Clarifies daily fines, payment, error refunds, and collection.
Staff intends to preserve existing fine amounts in Exhibit F.
The ordinance also addresses default fines, late charges, and collection costs, as discussed in the Executive Summary and Fiscal Impact sections.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 8
Section Why the Change Is Proposed
1.10.060, 1.10.065,
and 1.10.067
Citation contents,
batching, and records
Allows a single itemized citation to cover multiple violations or violation dates after required notice and correction
opportunities. Electronic records and proof of correction reduce repetitive paperwork while preserving the ability to contest each cited violation. Repeated processing language is removed.
1.10.070
Service
Replaces a fixed sequence of delivery methods with specified alternatives intended to provide meaningful notice. Addresses mail, electronic service, posting, failed delivery, and proof of service.
1.10.080
Satisfaction of a
citation
Separates payment, correction, and appeal. Payment does not end the duty to correct, and correction does not
automatically erase an existing fine. Duplicative provisions are removed. Decisions on appeals, including relief within the hearing officer's authority, are addressed in Section 1.10.090.
Payment arrangements are not proposed. Ordinary correction schedules and hardship waivers of advance appeal deposits remain separate procedures.
1.10.090
Appeals and hearings
Clarifies appeal filing, hearings, written decisions, and hardship waivers of advance deposits. The City Manager or designee may authorize refunds for citations issued in error; the hearing officer may order refunds following a successful appeal or reduced fine. Refunds are due within 30 calendar days after service of the applicable decision. Late charges do not accrue during a timely appeal or before the post-decision payment deadline. Only the hearing officer may approve a compliance agreement during an appeal to establish
corrective actions, deadlines, and inspection requirements.
This does not create separate authority to negotiate payment arrangements or waive fines or charges.
1.10.100
Judicial review
Retains the stated 20-day judicial-review process and aligns terminology with the revised administrative hearing and decision provisions.

Section Why the Change Is Proposed
1.04.020, 1.04.050,
1.08.010, and 1.08.070
Related Title 1
provisions
Distinguishes civil administrative citations from criminal notices to appear and clarifies daily-violation provisions.
These conforming edits are intended to prevent confusion between the two processes.
Implementation and Subsequent Phases. Following adoption, staff would align procedures, forms, systems, training, public information, and performance reporting with the ordinance. Staff proposes later review of enforcement provisions in Titles 5, 8, 12, and 15; related provisions in Titles 2, 3, 6, and 10; and zoning provisions in Title 17. Existing Chapter 2.84 addresses illegal property conditions and should be evaluated separately from restrictions based on unpaid citation debt.
Code References and Fine Schedule Coordination
The following comparison separates corrections to existing references from questions requiring monetary or substantive Council action. Attachment 2 remains an unchanged excerpt of the adopted schedule. Correcting a code citation does not, by itself, adopt a fine for a new violation or extend an existing fine to different conduct.

Existing Administrative Citation Fine Schedule. Exhibit F to the City's Master Fee Schedule lists the administrative citation fine amounts. The existing schedule is identified as Attachment 2 for reference only; Any proposed schedule correction or addition requires a separately identified Council action. Staff recommends preserving the existing fine amounts.
Environmental Analysis:
The ordinance is not a project under California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) because it concerns administrative activities that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Even if it could be considered a project, it is also exempt under section 15061(b)(3). The ordinance cannot result in a significant effect on the environment because it will not cause any physical changes in the environment, whether directly or indirectly.
Options for Council Consideration:
Council may identify specific sections or issues in the table for additional policy direction while allowing other provisions to advance through the ordinance process.
1. Introduce the ordinance as recommended, with the proposed Title 1 amendments as presented.
2. Advance selected provisions and defer others. Identify the provisions Council supports and the matters requiring further analysis or policy direction. Direct staff and the City Attorney to prepare a narrower ordinance that preserves existing requirements for deferred matters. Proceed with introduction only if the revised ordinance text and required procedures are ready; otherwise, continue consideration and return with the revised text.
3. Revise the full proposal before introduction. Provide direction on the requested changes and direct staff to return with a revised ordinance at a future meeting.
4. Take no action. Existing Title 1 procedures adopted fine schedules, and separately authorized collection services would remain unchanged.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING PORTIONS OF TITLE 1 OF THE
HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE TO MODERNIZE
ADMINISTRATIVE CITATION PROCEDURES, ENFORCEMENT
PROVISIONS, AND LEGAL NOTICES; AND 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, Chapter 1.10 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code ("HBMC") establishes the City's civil administrative citation procedures pursuant to Government Code section 53069.4; and
WHEREAS, the City has reviewed HBMC Chapter 1.10 and related Title 1 provisions to improve clarity, consistency, administrative efficiency, and enforceability (while preserving required notice, correction opportunities, hearing rights, written decisions, and judicial review); and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to modernize the City's procedures concerning service, electronic records and submissions, correctable and continuing violations, consolidated or batched citations, compliance agreements, appeal filing, hardship waivers, hearing procedures, and administrative decisions; and WHEREAS, the City Council further desires to clarify the distinction between civil administrative citations issued under HBMC Chapter 1.10 and criminal notices to appear issued under HBMC Chapter 1.08, and to conform related provisions of HBMC Chapter
1.04; and
WHEREAS, on September 8, 2026, the City Council continued consideration of this Ordinance to October 13, 2026.
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.
65270.00001\45395770.1
SECTION 2. Amendment of HBMC Chapter 1.10 (Administrative Citations and Penalties). Chapter 1.10 is hereby amended in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 3. Amendment of HBMC Chapter 1.04 (Violations and Penalties).
Sections 1.04.020 and 1.04.050 are hereby amended as set forth in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 4. Amendment of HBMC Chapter 1.08 (General Citations). Sections
1.08.010 and 1.08.070 are hereby amended as set forth in Exhibit C, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 5. Findings. The City Council finds that this Ordinance: (a) modernizes the City's civil administrative citation procedures; (b) improves notice, correction, service, recordkeeping, appeal, and hearing provisions; (c) clarifies continuing-violation and consolidated-citation authority subject to applicable law; and (d) distinguishes civil administrative citations from criminal notices to appear and thereby improves administration, clarity, and enforcement of the code.
SECTION 6. California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). The City Council finds that this Ordinance is not a project under CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) because it concerns governmental organizational and administrative activities that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Independently, the Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that the Ordinance will not have a significant effect on the environment. The Ordinance establishes and updates administrative enforcement procedures and does not authorize any specific development project.
SECTION 7. Severability. If any part of this Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications; and, to this end, the provisions of this Ordinance are severable.
SECTION 8. Certification. The City Clerk is directed to: (a) certify the passage and adoption of this Ordinance; (b) cause it to be entered into the City's book of original ordinances; (c) make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of the meeting at which it is adopted; and (d) within fifteen (15) days after the Ordinance's passage and adoption, cause it to be published or posted in accordance with California law.
SECTION 9. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall become effective and be in full force and effect from and after thirty (30) days of its final passage and adoption.

Exhibit A Page 1 of 14
65270.00001\45395770.1
Exhibit A
Chapter 1.10, "Administrative Citations," of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:
Chapter 1.10 Administrative Citations and Penalties
1.10.010 Administrative citations.
This chapter is adopted pursuant to the City's police power and Government Code section 53069.4 to establish administrative procedures for imposing, enforcing, collecting, and reviewing administrative citations, fines, and penalties for violations of this Code.
The administrative citation process is intended to promote timely compliance, provide clear notice and an opportunity for administrative review, recover administrative fines and penalties where authorized, and supplement other remedies available to the City.
The Building and Code Enforcement Official, or another City official designated by the City Manager, may adopt administrative policies, procedures, forms, templates, batching schedules, service documentation standards, hearing procedures, and electronic submission procedures to implement this chapter, in coordination with affected department directors and subject to approval by the City Manager and approval as to form by the City Attorney, provided such procedures are consistent with this chapter and applicable law.
Use of the provisions of this chapter shall not prevent the use of other methods of enforcement or abatement as provided by this Code, including but not limited to criminal and civil actions.
1.10.020 Definitions.
For the purposes of this chapter, the following definitions shall apply:
Administrative citation means a notice issued under this chapter that identifies one or more violations, states the applicable fine or penalty, identifies any required corrective action, and provides notice of payment, correction, and appeal rights.
Appellant means a responsible person who timely files a request for administrative hearing under Section 1.10.090.
Compliance agreement means a written agreement approved only by the hearing officer in an administrative appeal under Section 1.10.090 that establishes corrective actions, compliance deadlines, and related inspection requirements for the violations at issue in the appeal.
Consolidated citation or batched citation means one administrative citation or citation package that identifies multiple violation dates, multiple daily violations, or multiple violations arising from the same enforcement matter and states the fine calculation and appeal rights applicable to the citation.
Exhibit A Page 2 of 14
65270.00001\45395770.1
Continuing violation means a single ongoing condition, activity, use, or failure to act that remains in violation of this Code after notice and expiration of any applicable correction period. A continuing violation may constitute a separate violation for each day or portion of a day that the violation continues, subject to this chapter and applicable state law.
Correctable offense means an ongoing or continuing violation that can be brought into compliance through corrective action and that does not create an immediate danger to health or safety.
Electronic service means service by electronic mail or other electronic transmission where authorized by Section 1.10.070.
Enforcement officer means a police officer, City employee, or agent of the City designated by the City Manager to enforce specified provisions of this Code. The enforcement officer’s authority and responsibility are limited to the provisions covered by that designation.
Hearing officer means an impartial person designated by the City Manager under Section 1.10.090 to conduct an administrative hearing and issue a written decision.
Immediate danger to health or safety means a condition or activity presenting an imminent or substantial risk of death, serious bodily injury, significant property damage, or other immediate threat to public health or safety that reasonably requires prompt enforcement action.
Notice of violation means a written notice advising a responsible person of a violation, required corrective action, any applicable correction period, and potential consequences for failure to comply.
Official file or administrative record means the records maintained by the City for an administrative citation matter, which may include citations, notices, photographs, inspection notes, correspondence, service records, payment records, appeal forms, hardship-waiver requests, staff reports, evidence submitted by the parties, hearing recordings or notes, and written decisions. The official file or administrative record may be maintained electronically.
Record address means any address reasonably available to the City for purposes of notice, including an address shown in City records, county property records, permit or license records, application materials, business records, enforcement records, or an address provided by a responsible person.
Repeat violation means a subsequent violation of the same Code provision or requirement by the same responsible person within the period established by this Code or City Council resolution after responsibility for a prior violation has been established by a final citation, final administrative decision, judgment, or written admission.
Responsible person means a person who causes, maintains, permits, authorizes, or controls a violation, or who has a legal duty and reasonable ability to prevent or correct the violation. An owner, occupant, operator, permittee, licensee, property manager, corporate officer, partner, trustee, successor, or other person associated with a property, business, use, or activity is responsible only when the facts establish that the person personally participated in, authorized, controlled, maintained, or permitted the violation,
Exhibit A Page 3 of 14
65270.00001\45395770.1
or had a legal duty and reasonable ability to prevent or correct it. Status or title alone does not establish responsibility.
Service means delivery, mailing, electronic transmission, posting, publication, or any other method authorized by Section 1.10.070 and reasonably calculated to provide notice.
Transitory violation means a discrete act, event, activity, or omission that is complete when it occurs or is observed and is not reasonably capable of correction through an order addressing an ongoing condition.
1.10.030 Administrative citations not a waiver of other remedies.
The procedures established in this chapter are cumulative and in addition to any criminal, civil, nuisance abatement, permit, license, injunctive, collection, or other remedy available under this Code or state law. Issuance, payment, appeal, or dismissal of an administrative citation shall not be deemed a waiver of any other enforcement remedy unless expressly stated in a written City decision or final order.

B. Exclusive of Chapter 8.68 (Plastic Carryout Shopping Bags), any person who violates the same provision, or fails to comply with the same requirement, of the provisions of this Code set forth in this section more than three (3) times within a twelve (12) month period shall be guilty of a misdemeanor for each violation committed thereafter within that same twelve (12) month period. Any person who violates or fails to comply with a provision of this Code set forth in this section and possesses no photo identification or refuses to provide identifying information to an enforcement officer, making it impossible to issue an administrative citation, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
1.10.045 Notices of violation for correctable offenses.
A. Before imposing administrative fines or penalties for a continuing violation involving building, plumbing, electrical, structural, or zoning requirements that does not create an immediate danger to health or safety, the City shall provide the responsible person with a notice of violation and a reasonable correction period as specified in subsection C.
B. The notice of violation shall identify, to the extent known: the responsible person; the property owner if different from the responsible person; the address or location of the violation; the code section or requirement violated; the condition or conduct constituting the violation; the corrective action required; the compliance deadline; the potential administrative fine amounts applicable to the stated violation; and the potential consequences of failure to comply, including administrative citations, daily fines, abatement, collection, liens, civil remedies, criminal prosecution where authorized, and any other remedy available under this Code or state law. For a property-related violation, the City shall also provide the property owner a copy of the notice, when feasible, using
Exhibit A Page 6 of 14
65270.00001\45395770.1
the applicable notice and service provisions of Section 1.10.070. Providing a copy to the owner does not, by itself, establish responsibility for the violation.
C. The enforcement officer shall establish a reasonable correction period based on the nature and severity of the violation, the actions reasonably necessary to correct it, and its effect on public health, safety, or welfare. The enforcement officer shall document the basis for the correction period in the administrative record. The periods listed below are options, not mandatory deadlines, and additional time shall be allowed when reasonably necessary under paragraph 3. The correction period may include:
1. Seventy-two (72) hours for a readily correctable condition requiring prompt action;
2. Five (5) calendar days for a condition that can reasonably be corrected within that period; or
3. A longer period or written compliance schedule when the nature of the required corrective work, permitting requirements, need for professional assistance, weather or access constraints, or other relevant circumstances reasonably require additional time.
D. No correction period is required for a violation that creates an immediate danger to health or safety or when immediate citation or enforcement is otherwise expressly authorized by this Code or state law. For any violation subject to a correction period required by Government Code section 53069.4 or other applicable law, officer discretion shall not eliminate the legally required opportunity to correct.
1.10.050 Fines.
A. Except where prior notice and a reasonable correction period are required by Government Code section 53069.4 or other applicable law, an administrative fine may be imposed upon issuance of an administrative citation. For a continuing violation, a fine may be imposed for each day or portion of a day the violation continues after any required notice and applicable correction period have expired.
Where no amount is specified by this code or by resolution or ordinance of the city council, the following fines shall apply:
1. A fine not exceeding one hundred dollars per day for a first violation;
2. A fine not exceeding two hundred dollars per day for a second violation of the same ordinance or permit within one year following the date of the first violation;
3. A fine not exceeding five hundred dollars per day for each additional violation of the same ordinance or permit within one year following the date of the first violation.
A late payment charge of ten percent will be added on any delinquent fines on the last day of each month after the due date.
B. Any responsible person who receives an administrative citation shall be subject to the payment of fines as set out in the penalty schedule for administrative fines in this Ordinance and any applicable schedule adopted by resolution of the city council. An administrative penalty shall be assessed by means of an administrative citation issued by an enforcement officer, and shall be payable directly to the city treasurer. A portion of each penalty shall constitute reimbursement for the city's administrative expenses in
Exhibit A Page 7 of 14
65270.00001\45395770.1
issuing and processing the citation. Penalties shall be collected in accordance with the procedures specified in this chapter. Payment of a penalty shall not excuse the failure to correct the violation nor shall it bar further enforcement action by the city.
For a continuing violation involving building, plumbing, electrical, structural, or zoning requirements that does not create an immediate danger to health or safety, an administrative fine shall not be imposed until the responsible person has been provided notice and a reasonable opportunity to correct the violation and has failed to do so, consistent with Government Code section 53069.4. Upon expiration of the applicable correction period, any fine lawfully imposed is immediately enforceable in accordance with this chapter and remains due notwithstanding subsequent correction, except for a refund for a citation issued in error or a determination made by the hearing officer on appeal under this chapter.
Nothing in this section prevents immediate citation, imposition of an administrative fine, emergency enforcement, or other enforcement action for a transitory or immediately remediable violation, a violation that creates an immediate danger to health or safety, or any violation for which immediate enforcement is otherwise authorized by this Code or applicable law.
C. The City Manager or designee may authorize a refund of a fine paid on a citation issued in error. The hearing officer may order a full or partial refund when a citation is rescinded or a fine is reduced on appeal. An authorized refund shall be processed within thirty (30) calendar days after service of the applicable written decision.
D. The City may recover late payment charges, administrative costs, collection costs, and other costs authorized by Council resolution, this Code, or state law. Unpaid fines, penalties, charges, and costs may be collected in any manner authorized by law.
Where allowed by law and authorized by Council resolution, administrative fines, penalties, charges, costs, and correction obligations may be imposed jointly and severally against responsible persons who cause, maintain, permit, or fail to correct a violation.
Failure of any person to pay the fines assessed by an administrative citation may result in the matter being referred for collection which includes but is not limited to the filing of a small claims court action.
1.10.060 Contents of citation.
Each administrative citation shall contain the following information:
1. The date, approximate time when relevant, and address or other definite description of the location of the violation, or the applicable date or date range for multiple or continuing violations;
2. The Code sections or conditions violated and a description of the violation(s);
3. The amount of the fine and, when the citation includes multiple violations or dates, the basis for calculating the total fine;
4. The method of service and date of service, where known;
5. The payment methods and the date by which the fine shall be paid;
Exhibit A Page 8 of 14
65270.00001\45395770.1
6. Any applicable correction procedure and hardship waiver procedure required by this chapter;
7. Notice of the right to appeal, the deadline and method for filing an appeal, and where required appeal forms or instructions may be obtained;
8. The name or unique identifying number of the enforcement officer issuing the citation;
9. If applicable, an order to correct a continuing or correctable violation, the required corrective action or compliance standard, any applicable correction deadline, and the consequences of failing to comply; and
10. The name and address of the responsible person, if known.
11. For any consolidated or batched citation, the citation or an attached or incorporated schedule shall identify the violation date or date range, each daily violation or violation count included, the fine imposed for each violation or day, the total fine amount, any applicable prior notice or order to correct, any applicable compliance deadline, and a statement that a timely appeal may contest the citation and all violations included in it.
If applicable, the citation shall identify whether the violation remains correctable and any applicable correction deadline. Correction after a fine has been lawfully imposed does not cancel or reduce the fine. Refunds for citations issued in error and determinations on appeal remain governed by Sections 1.10.050(C) and 1.10.090.
The City may provide forms, payment instructions, hearing request procedures, hardship waiver procedures, proof-of-correction procedures, and evidence submission procedures in paper or electronic form. The City may establish electronic addresses, portals, payment methods, submission requirements, and related procedures by administrative policy and may require another reasonable method when necessary to verify information, preserve the record, or comply with law.
1.10.065 Continuing violations; consolidated or batched citations.
A. After required notice and expiration of any applicable correction period, each day or portion of a day that a continuing violation exists may be treated as a separate violation and may be subject to a separate administrative fine, unless otherwise limited by state law or this Code.
B. The City may issue a consolidated or batched citation for multiple daily violations, multiple violation dates, or multiple violations arising from the same enforcement matter.
A consolidated or batched citation may be processed and served periodically on a weekly or biweekly basis or at another reasonable interval established by administrative policy, provided the citation satisfies Section 1.10.060 and gives the responsible person clear notice of the violations, fine calculation, payment obligation, correction requirement, and appeal rights.
C. The use of a consolidated or batched citation shall not extend, shorten, or eliminate the responsible person's right to contest the citation. A timely appeal of a consolidated or batched citation shall allow the responsible person to contest each violation and fine included in the citation.

D. Nothing in this section limits the City's authority to issue separate citations, pursue abatement, seek civil or criminal remedies, refer unpaid fines for collection, or use any other remedy authorized by this Code or state law.
1.10.067 Proof of correction; electronic records and submissions.
A. A responsible person who claims that a violation has been corrected shall provide proof of correction in the manner required by the City. Proof of correction may include photographs, inspection results, permits, receipts, declarations, contractor documentation, business records, or other information sufficient to verify correction.
B. The City may require an inspection, reinspection, permit final, field verification, or other confirmation before determining that a violation has been corrected. Acceptance of proof of correction does not limit the City's authority to issue additional citations or pursue other remedies if the violation continues, recurs, or was not fully corrected.
C. The City may receive and maintain citation records, service records, proof of correction, appeal requests, hardship waiver requests, evidence, payments, and hearing materials electronically, if the City makes electronic processing available. Electronic records may be part of the official file or administrative record.
D. Nothing in this section requires the City to provide electronic processing in every case, and the City may require paper copies, original signatures, in-person inspection, or other documentation when reasonably necessary to verify compliance, preserve the record, or comply with law.
1.10.070 Service of citation.
Any administrative citation, notice of violation, hearing notice, hardship-waiver decision, hearing officer decision, or other document issued under this chapter may be served by any one or more methods reasonably calculated to provide notice, including the methods listed in this section. Unless another law requires a specific method of service, the City is not required to attempt service methods in any particular order.
A. Personal Service. Service may be completed by personal delivery to the responsible person. Refusal or failure to sign an acknowledgment of receipt does not affect the validity of service or subsequent proceedings.
B. Service by Mail. Service may be completed by depositing the document in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the responsible person's last known address, business address, property address, address shown in City records, address shown on county property records, address provided to the City, or another address reasonably calculated to provide notice. Service by first-class mail is complete on the date of mailing unless the document is returned as undeliverable. Certified mail, registered mail, return receipt, overnight delivery, or other delivery confirmation may be used at the City's discretion but is not required unless otherwise required by law.
C. Electronic Service. Electronic service may be used when the recipient provided the electronic address for the matter, consented to electronic service, or used the address to communicate with the City concerning the property, business, permit, license, citation, or violation. Electronic service is complete upon transmission unless the City receives notice
Exhibit A Page 10 of 14
65270.00001\45395770.1
of delivery failure. Following known delivery failure, the City shall use another authorized service method, and any response or appeal period shall run from completion of the alternate service.
D. Posting. Service may be completed by posting the document in a conspicuous place on the property where the violation exists or on other property owned, occupied, or controlled by the responsible person when posting at that location is reasonably calculated to provide notice. Service by posting is complete on the date of posting.
E. Publication or Other Method Authorized by Law. After reasonable efforts to provide notice by another authorized method, service may be completed by publication or another method only when authorized by applicable law and reasonably calculated to provide notice under the circumstances. The method and duration of publication shall comply with the law authorizing publication.
F. Multiple Methods; Courtesy Notice. The City may use multiple service methods and may provide additional courtesy notice by telephone, text message, electronic mail, posting, hand delivery, or other method. Failure to provide courtesy notice does not invalidate service completed under this section.
G. Proof of Service; Failure to Receive. Proof of service may be established by declaration, affidavit, certificate of mailing, electronic transmission record, posting record, photograph, business record, or other reliable documentation. Failure to receive a document does not invalidate service when the City complied with this section and the method used remained reasonably calculated to provide notice.
H. Substantial Compliance; Harmless Error. A technical defect, omission, irregularity, or error does not invalidate a citation, notice, service, hearing, decision, or other proceeding when the City substantially complied with this chapter, the notice or service remained reasonably calculated to reach the person, and the defect did not materially prejudice the person's ability to understand, correct, pay, or contest the citation. An error that impairs meaningful notice or the opportunity to file a timely appeal is not harmless.
1.10.080 Satisfaction of administrative citation.
Upon receipt of an administrative citation, the responsible person shall take one or more of the following actions, as applicable:
A. Pay the fine. Pay the fine to the City within 30 days from the date of service of the citation. Payment of a fine shall not excuse or discharge a failure to correct a continuing violation and shall not bar further enforcement action by the City. Payment of the fine, in the absence of a timely request for hearing pursuant to Section 1.10.090, waives the responsible person's right to contest the citation through the administrative hearing process;
B. Remedy the violation. Correction of a violation satisfies the responsible person's obligation to correct the condition and, upon verification by the City, stops future daily fines from accruing after the verified date of compliance. Correction does not cancel or reduce a fine already lawfully imposed. Refunds for citations issued in error and determinations on appeal remain governed by Sections 1.10.050(C) and 1.10.090; or
Exhibit A Page 11 of 14
65270.00001\45395770.1
C. File an appeal. Appeals shall be filed in accordance with the time limits and other provisions of Section 1.10.090.
Commencement of an action to collect the delinquent penalty shall not preclude issuance of additional citations, including consolidated or batched citations, to the responsible person should the violation persist.
1.10.090 Appeal of administrative citation.
A. Time to File. A responsible person to whom an administrative citation, including a consolidated or batched citation, is issued may contest the citation by filing a request for administrative hearing within thirty (30) calendar days after service of the citation. A timely appeal of a consolidated or batched citation contests all violations, violation dates, and fines included in the citation unless the appellant expressly limits the appeal in writing.
B. Filing Requirements. To request a hearing, the appellant shall timely submit, in the manner directed by the City: (1) a completed request for administrative hearing; (2) a deposit of the full administrative fine or a timely hardship-waiver request under subsection C; (3) the administrative appeal fee established by City Council resolution, or a timely hardship-waiver request under subsection C; and (4) the information objectively identified by the City as necessary to identify the appellant, citation, grounds for appeal, and requested relief. Supporting evidence may be submitted with the appeal or within the time established for the hearing and is not required to perfect the appeal unless necessary to identify the citation or relief requested.
If a timely appeal submission is incomplete, the City shall provide written notice identifying each deficiency and allow at least ten (10) calendar days after service of the notice to cure it. A timely submission cured within that period retains its original filing date. If the requirements are not timely satisfied after notice and opportunity to cure, the citation becomes final and the fine is due and may be collected as authorized by law.
C. Hardship Waiver. An appellant who is financially unable to deposit all or part of the administrative fine or pay the administrative appeal fee may submit a hardship-waiver request with the appeal. The request shall include a declaration under penalty of perjury and reasonably available supporting information demonstrating financial inability to pay.
If the request is incomplete, the City shall promptly identify the additional information reasonably required. A City official designated by the City Manager who did not issue or prosecute the citation shall decide a complete request under objective standards established by administrative policy and shall issue a written decision within fifteen (15) calendar days after the request is complete. The decision shall be served pursuant to Section 1.10.070.
Collection of the amount subject to a timely hardship-waiver request is stayed until the request is decided. If the request is denied in whole or in part, the appellant shall have at least ten (10) calendar days after service of the decision to pay the required amount.
Timely payment preserves the original appeal filing date. Approval of a hardship waiver excuses only the advance payment requirement and does not determine the merits of the citation or eliminate any fine or fee ultimately found due.
D. Hearing Officer Designation. The City Manager shall designate an impartial hearing officer who did not participate in the investigation, issuance, or prosecution of the citation
Exhibit A Page 12 of 14
65270.00001\45395770.1
and who has no financial or other interest in the outcome. Hearing officers shall be selected, assigned, and compensated through procedures that do not create an incentive to favor the City or any party or reward particular outcomes. Assignment methods and other implementation procedures may be established by separate administrative policy.
E. Scheduling and Notice. After timely receipt of a complete appeal submission and any required deposit or hardship-waiver determination, the City shall schedule the hearing for a date not less than fifteen (15) and not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the date of receipt. The appellant shall receive at least ten (10) calendar days' notice of the hearing, to be served pursuant to Section 1.10.070. The appellant may request one reasonable continuance. Unless the parties agree otherwise or the hearing officer finds good cause, the hearing shall commence no later than ninety (90) calendar days after the receipt of the complete appeal submission and any required deposit or hardship waiver determination.
F. Hearing Format and Written Review. Hearings may be conducted in person, by telephone, by videoconference, by written submission, or by another fair and reasonable method authorized by City procedure and approved by the hearing officer. An appellant may waive an in-person hearing and request review on written or electronic materials.
Each party shall have a reasonable opportunity to submit evidence and argument and to respond to material relied upon by the other party.
G. Evidence Disclosure. Any documentation other than the administrative citation that the City submits or intends to submit to the hearing officer shall be provided to the appellant, or made reasonably available for review, at least ten (10) calendar days before the hearing unless the appellant agrees to a shorter period. Materials may be provided by any method authorized by Section 1.10.070, electronic transmission, secure link, or another reasonable method that provides access. The hearing officer may exclude untimely material or grant a reasonable continuance when necessary to avoid prejudice.
H. Hearing Procedure and Burden of Proof. Administrative hearings are informal. Formal rules of evidence and discovery do not apply, but the hearing officer may consider relevant and reliable evidence of the type on which responsible persons commonly rely.
The City bears the burden of proving the violation and the appellant's responsibility by a preponderance of the evidence. The administrative citation and authenticated reports, photographs, records, or other evidence submitted by the enforcement officer may constitute prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein, subject to rebuttal. Each party may present evidence, make argument, and question witnesses whose testimony is offered.
I. Failure to Appear or Participate. Failure of the appellant to appear or participate after proper notice does not require dismissal or continuance. The hearing officer may proceed in the appellant's absence, consider the administrative record and timely submitted materials, and issue a decision. Nonappearance waives the opportunity to present oral testimony but is not, by itself, an admission of the violation. The hearing officer may grant relief from nonappearance for good cause, including defective notice, by continuing the hearing.
J. Hearing Officer Authority. The hearing officer may administer oaths, rule on the admissibility and weight of evidence, regulate the course of the hearing, continue the
Exhibit A Page 13 of 14
65270.00001\45395770.1
hearing for good cause, request additional information from either party, and take other reasonable action necessary to provide a fair hearing and complete the administrative record. Only the hearing officer may approve a compliance agreement under this chapter, and only as part of an administrative appeal under this section. The agreement shall be in writing and shall address corrective actions, compliance deadlines, and related inspection requirements for the violations at issue in the appeal. This authority does not independently authorize payment arrangements, compromise of fines, or waiver of charges beyond the hearing officer's otherwise authorized powers under this section.
Ordinary correction periods and written compliance schedules established by an enforcement officer under Section 1.10.045 are not compliance agreements under this provision.
K. Decision. Within fifteen (15) calendar days of the conclusion of the hearing, the hearing officer shall issue a written decision that explains the factual and legal basis for the determination. The hearing officer may affirm, modify, or rescind the citation; determine the amount of any fine, charge, or refund authorized by this chapter or City Council resolution; order correction or abatement where authorized; establish a compliance deadline; and grant any other relief within the hearing officer's authority.
If the citation is rescinded or a deposited fine is reduced, the City shall refund the applicable amount within thirty (30) calendar days after the decision becomes final. The decision shall state that judicial review must be sought within twenty (20) days after service in accordance with Section 1.10.100 and Government Code section 53069.4.
L. Service and Finality of Decision. The decision shall be served pursuant to Section
1.10.070 and becomes final upon service, subject to judicial review under Section
1.10.100. Electronic service may be used when authorized by Section 1.10.070. If the City receives notice that electronic delivery failed, the City shall promptly use another authorized service method, and the judicial-review period shall run from service by that alternate method.
M. Stay and Payment Following Appeal. Collection of a citation timely appealed under this section is stayed until service of the final hearing decision, except for amounts not included in the appeal and enforcement actions necessary to address an immediate danger to health or safety. Late payment charges shall not accrue on an amount contested by a timely administrative appeal while that appeal is pending. Any amount upheld by the hearing officer is due within thirty (30) calendar days after service of the decision; no late payment charge shall accrue on that amount before this payment deadline.
1.10.100 Right to judicial review.
Within 20 days after service of the final administrative order or decision, the responsible person may seek review by filing a notice of appeal with the Superior Court in accordance with Government Code section 53069.4(b). The responsible person shall serve a copy of the notice of appeal on the City Clerk either in person or by first-class mail. If the responsible person fails to timely file a notice of appeal, the administrative order or decision shall be deemed final and confirmed.
Exhibit A Page 14 of 14
65270.00001\45395770.1
1.10.110 Failure to comply with administrative order.
In the absence of a timely appeal to the Superior Court, failure to comply with a final administrative order directing correction or abatement of a continuing violation by the date specified in the order is a misdemeanor offense for each day thereafter, or any portion thereof, that the violation is maintained or permitted. In the event of a timely appeal to the Superior Court pursuant to Section 1.10.100, and provided the City prevails, the responsible person shall be guilty of a misdemeanor offense for each day, or any portion thereof, that a continuing violation is maintained or permitted after the court-ordered abatement date. Filing a misdemeanor action does not preclude the City from issuing additional citations, pursuing collection, recording liens where authorized, conducting nuisance abatement, seeking civil or injunctive relief, revoking or withholding permits or licenses where authorized, or pursuing any other remedy provided in this Code or under state law.
For purposes of this section, continuing violation has the meaning set forth in Section
1.10.020.

Exhibit B
Sections 1.04.020 and 1.04.050 of Chapter 1.04, "General Provisions," of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code are hereby amended to read as follows:
Chapter 1.04 General Provisions
1.04.020 Misdemeanors.
Any person violating any provision or failing to comply with any requirement of this Code shall be guilty of a misdemeanor unless the violation or failure to comply is expressly stated by this Code to be an infraction, is subject to a civil administrative penalty under Chapter 1.10, is expressly limited to civil enforcement, or is subject to a more specific classification or enforcement provision. Eligibility for an administrative citation does not, by itself, reclassify a violation as a misdemeanor or infraction. A violation may be criminally prosecuted when expressly classified or otherwise authorized by this Code or state law, including applicable provisions addressing repeated or willful violations and failure to comply with a final administrative order. The City may pursue cumulative remedies to the extent permitted by law. Any person convicted of a misdemeanor under the provisions of this Code shall be punishable by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) or by imprisonment in the county jail for a period not exceeding six (6) months, or by both such fine and imprisonment. Each such person shall be guilty of a separate offense for each and every day during any portion of which any violation of any provision of this Code is committed, continued or permitted by such person and shall be punishable accordingly.
1.04.050 Additional provisions.
A. Each Day a Separate Violation. Unless otherwise specified, each day or portion of a day during which a violation of this Code is committed, continued, maintained, permitted, or allowed to exist constitutes a separate violation. A separate daily violation may be prosecuted as a separate offense or enforced through a separate administrative penalty only as authorized by this Code and applicable law. For a violation subject to Chapter
1.10, any notice and reasonable correction period required by law must expire before a separate daily administrative penalty is imposed.
B. Included Offenses. Whenever in the Code any act or omission is made unlawful, it shall include causing, permitting, aiding, abetting, suffering, or concealing the fact or such act of omission.
C. Violations Deemed To Be a Public Nuisance. In addition to the penalties hereinabove provided, any condition caused or permitted to exist in violation of any of the provisions of the Code shall be deemed a public nuisance and may be summarily abated as such by the city, and every day such condition continues shall be regarded as a new and separate offense.

Such notice may be referred to as a "general citation," and shall contain the name and address of such person, the offense charged, and the time when and place where such person shall appear in court.
1.08.070 Arresting officer defined.
For the purpose of this chapter, the term "arresting officer" means any police officer of the City and any other employee of the City whose duty it is to enforce the provisions of this Code who is authorized by the City Manager to use the criminal notice-to-appear procedure established by this chapter in the performance of his enforcement duties.

B. The notice of violation shall identify, to the extent known: the responsible person; the property owner if different from the responsible person; the address or location of the violation; the code section or requirement violated; the condition or conduct constituting the violation; the corrective action required; the compliance deadline; the potential administrative fine amounts applicable to the stated violation; and the potential consequences of failure to comply, including administrative citations, daily fines, abatement, collection, liens, civil remedies, criminal prosecution where authorized, and any other remedy available under this Code or state law. For a property-related violation, the City shall also provide the property owner a copy of the notice, when feasible, using the applicable notice and service provisions of Section 1.10.070. Providing a copy to the owner does not, by itself, establish responsibility for the violation.
C. The enforcement officer shall establish a reasonable correction period based on the nature and severity of the violation, the actions reasonably necessary to correct it, and its effect on public health, safety, or welfare. The enforcement officer shall document the basis for the
correction period in the administrative record. The periods listed below are options, not mandatory deadlines, and additional time shall be allowed when reasonably necessary under paragraph 3. The correction period may include:
1. Seventy-two (72) hours for a readily correctable condition requiring prompt action;
2. Five (5) calendar days for a condition that can reasonably be corrected within that period; or
3. A longer period or written compliance schedule when the nature of the required corrective work, permitting requirements, need for professional assistance, weather or access constraints, or other relevant circumstances reasonably require additional time.
D. No correction period is required for a violation that creates an immediate danger to health or safety or when immediate citation or enforcement is otherwise expressly authorized by this Code or state law. For any violation subject to a correction period required by Government Code section 53069.4 or other applicable law, officer discretion shall not eliminate the legally required opportunity to correct.

Where no amount is specified by this code or by resolution or ordinance of the city council, the following fines shall apply:
1. A fine not exceeding one hundred dollars per day for a first violation;
2. A fine not exceeding two hundred dollars per day for a second violation of the same ordinance or permit within one year following the date of the first violation;
3. A fine not exceeding five hundred dollars per day for each additional violation of the same ordinance or permit within one year following the date of the first violation.
A late payment charge of ten percent will be added on any delinquent fines on the last day of each month after the due date.
B. Any responsible person who receives an administrative citation shall be subject to the payment of fines as set out in the penalty schedule for administrative fines in this Ordinance and any applicable schedule adopted by resolution of the city council. An administrative penalty shall be assessed by means of an administrative citation issued by an enforcement officer, and shall be payable directly to the city treasurer. A portion of each penalty shall constitute reimbursement for the city's administrative expenses in issuing and processing the citation. Penalties shall be collected in accordance with the procedures specified in this chapter.
