FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Lina Hernandez, Assistant City Manager
MEETING DATE: October 21, 2025
SUBJECT: Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Torrance for the Installation of Ten Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) Cameras at Crenshaw Boulevard and Lomita Boulevard
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve a Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Torrance for the Installation of Ten Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) Cameras at Crenshaw Boulevard and Lomita Boulevard.
BACKGROUND
Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) is a technology that enables a camera to scan many license plates quickly to monitor for vehicles wanted by law enforcement through a mass network of law enforcements databases. Local law enforcement agencies are notified if there is a match to one of their databases. These cameras can be affixed on traffic signals and poles or mounted on patrol cars.
In 2020, the City approved an agreement with the City of Rolling Hills Estates to mount ALPR cameras at the intersection of Palos Verdes Drive North and Rolling Vista Drive.
DISCUSSION
In 2022, the City of Torrance contacted Lomita regarding the installation of ALPR cameras at the intersection of Crenshaw Boulevard and Lomita Boulevard within Lomita’s jurisdiction. At its meeting on October 4, 2022, the City Council approved an agreement with the City of Torrance to install six ALPR cameras at the shared intersection, however Torrance did not carry out the installation due to funding.
The City of Torrance recently reached out to the City revisit the installation of ALPR cameras at the same intersection. The proposed MOU (Attachment 1) stipulates that
CITY OF LOMITA
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Item No. 7k
Tuesday, October 21, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *154
2 Torrance will pay for the installation and maintenance of the ALPR cameras, and Lomita will pay for the cost of electricity. The data collected from the ALPR cameras will be transmitted to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and will assist in policing activities for both Torrance and Lomita. The City Attorney’s office has reviewed the MOU.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact to the City is only the cost of electricity to power the cameras. This cost is nominal and will be absorbed in the City’s operational budget.
VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization, establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No. 1: Safety & Security - Keeping Lomita safe, prepared and resilient.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN
THE CITY OF LOMITA AND THE CITY OF TORRANCE
(Public Safety Camera Equipment)
This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”), effective as of __________, 2025 (“Effective Date”), sets forth the terms of the agreement between the City of Lomita (“Lomita”) and the City of Torrance (“Torrance”) for the installation and operation of public safety camera equipment at a certain location near the boundary of Lomita and Torrance.
Each party may be referred to individually as “Party,” and collectively as the “Parties”, with respect to the following:
1. RECITALS
A. Torrance and Lomita wish to cooperate in using and placing public safety camera equipment in the interest of providing mutual public safety assistance for both Lomita and Torrance.
B. Public safety camera equipment in this context includes the following types of equipment: Automated License Plate Recognition cameras (“ALPR Cameras”), video cameras providing both a live view and recorded video playback, cellular routers/modems for network connectivity, and associated hardware such as pole-mounted waterproof networking/communication boxes.
C. Torrance has approved the purchase of ALPR Cameras manufactured by Vigilant Solutions / Motorola, to be placed on the traffic poles at the intersection of Lomita Boulevard and Crenshaw Boulevard. ALPR Cameras assist the Torrance Police Department, and other law enforcement agencies, by alerting them of passing stolen and/or wanted vehicles, as well as identifying vehicles related to criminal investigations or missing persons. In addition to the ALPR cameras, a multi-sensor video camera will also be installed at the intersection of Lomita Boulevard and Crenshaw Boulevard. A portion of the property at the intersection of Lomita Blvd and Crenshaw Blvd is owned by Lomita (“Lomita Property”).
D. Lomita contracts with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (“Sheriff’s Department” or “LASD”) for law enforcement services. LASD also utilizes and subscribes to ALPR Cameras of the same platform (Vigilant Solutions / Motorola). LASD and the Torrance Police Department share license plate data with each other, which is collected by their respective ALPR Cameras.
This data sharing is based on a previously executed MOU agreement between the agencies. LASD will have access to the data derived from the new ALPR Cameras listed in this agreement for the purpose of providing mutual public safety assistance for Lomita and Torrance.
E. Considering the rate at which camera technology advances and improves, this MOU seeks not to prescribe precise models, versions, or quantities of public safety camera equipment to be installed. Instead, this MOU approves the Tuesday, October 21, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *156
types of cameras and purpose for which the camera equipment will be utilized.
Albeit, Torrance will install no more than one (1) multi-sensor video camera, ten (10) ALPR Cameras, four (4) Communications Boxes, and four (4) cellular routers on the traffic light poles at the intersection of Crenshaw Blvd. and Lomita Blvd., as specifically described in “Exhibit A.”
2. TERM. The MOU will be effective for an initial term of three (3) years from the Effective Date, and will thereafter automatically renew for additional terms of oneyear periods unless either Party elects to terminate this MOU with no less than 30 days’ notice before any annual renewal.
3. FUNDING. With the exception of electricity to the Communications Boxes, Torrance, at its sole cost, will purchase, install, and maintain the public safety camera equipment, including payment of any and all fees, licenses, costs, charges, and bills.
4. MUTUAL ACCESS. LASD and the Torrance Police Department already share an MOU which permits access to data collected by each agency’s respective ALPR Cameras through the Vigilant Solutions / Motorola platform. Both agencies will have access to the data collected by the new ALPR cameras covered in this Agreement.
5. PERMITS. Torrance will obtain any and all permits from Lomita necessary to install, maintain, and operate the public safety camera equipment on Lomita Property, including building and encroachment permits.
6. INSTALLATION. Torrance warrants that it has the experience, facilities, and expertise necessary to safely, effectively, and properly install the public safety camera equipment on Lomita Property.
7. DAMAGE, MAINTENANCE & REPAIR. Torrance shall maintain the public safety camera equipment in a working condition and ensure the equipment is not a threat to the safety and welfare of the public. Torrance shall provide reasonable notice to Lomita before beginning any maintenance work. Torrance shall be responsible for removing, repairing, replacing, or otherwise remediating any damage to the public safety camera equipment. Lomita shall have the option to perform or cause to be performed such removal, repair, replacement, or remediation, and Torrance shall reimburse Lomita for the actual costs incurred by Lomita, including any required staff time. Torrance acknowledges that, subject to the terms of this MOU, it bears all risk of loss, damage, or replacement of the public safety camera equipment and all associated costs.
8. CORRECTIONS. Torrance shall correct, at its sole cost, all errors in the work which may be done in installing and maintaining the public safety camera equipment. Should Torrance fail to make such corrections in a reasonably timely manner, such corrections may be made by Lomita, and Torrance shall reimburse Lomita for the actual costs incurred by Lomita, including any required staff time.
Tuesday, October 21, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *157
9. SAFETY. Torrance warrants that the public safety camera equipment is of a weight, size, and dimension as to not affect the structural integrity of the Lomita Property and will not negatively affect the health and safety of the public.
10. ELECTRICAL UTILITY. Lomita will provide electricity to the Communications Boxes. Torrance will install and connect the public safety camera equipment to infrastructure as identified by Lomita to access such electricity.
11. NETWORKING SERVICES. Torrance will pay any fees, costs, or charges relating to networking services for the public safety camera equipment, which may consist of costs relating to data, Internet, modems, routers, and SIM card(s).
12. REMOVAL. Torrance will be responsible for the safe removal of the public safety camera equipment upon the termination of this MOU and all associated costs. If Lomita, in its sole discretion, determines that the public safety camera equipment causes a public health or safety danger, Lomita may immediately remove the public safety camera equipment and must notify Torrance upon doing so.
13. CIVIL CODE ALPR COMPLIANCE. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that Title 1.81.23 commencing with Section 1798.90.5 of the California Civil Code (“ALPR Title”) establishes certain security procedures and practices to protect automated license plate recognition (ALPR) information from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure. Each Party agrees to comply with all applicable provisions of the ALPR Title applicable to an “ALPR operator” as defined in the ALPR Title.

PREPARED BY: Lina Hernandez, Assistant City Manager
MEETING DATE: October 21, 2025
SUBJECT: Resolution of Intent to Renew an Existing Franchise to Construct and Use an Oil Pipeline to Phillips 66 Pipeline, LLC and Phillips 66 Company
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution of intent to renew a franchise with Phillips 66 Pipeline, LLC and Phillips 66 Company to access and maintain underground oil and fuel lines in Lomita; and set a date for the required public hearing on November 18, 2025.
BACKGROUND
The City of Lomita originally granted a pipeline franchise to ConocoPhillips Pipeline Company (now operating as Phillips 66 Pipeline, LLC and Phillips 66 Company) in 1984 through Ordinance No. 361, authorizing the company to install, operate, and maintain petroleum pipelines within the City’s public rights-of-way. The initial franchise was approved for a 25-year term, expiring in February 2009.
Following the expiration of the original agreement, the City Council approved a renewal franchise on February 1, 2009, through Ordinance No. 726, which extended the franchise for a 15-year term. At its meeting on August 6, 2011, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 745, which amended Ordinance No. 726 to include the non-utility fee schedule.
Although Ordinance No. 745 expired on February 1, 2024, all applicable fees and provisions have remained in effect pending approval of a renewal franchise. The existing pipelines are located within the public rights-of-way along Lomita Boulevard and Walnut Street, as shown on the attached maps (Attachment 2). The pipelines continue to be maintained under the terms of the 2009 ordinance.
Phillips 66 submitted an application to renew its franchise in accordance with the Franchise Act of 1937. The proposed franchise agreement marks the third iteration of this

• Adopt a Resolution of Intent to consider the franchise application. • Publish a notice of the public hearing in a newspaper of general circulation at least once within 15 days following the adoption of the Resolution of Intent. • Hold a public hearing for the formal adoption of the renewal Ordinance no less than 20 days and no more than 60 days following the adoption of the Resolution of Intent.
• Conduct a second reading of the Ordinance which would take effect 30 days after its adoption.
To ensure public safety and environmental protection, Phillips 66 will be required to submit an Emergency Preparedness Plan within 90 days of the ordinance’s effective date.
The plan must be approved by the City Engineer and outline the company’s response procedures in the event of a spill, leak, or natural disaster.
Should the City Council adopt the Resolution of Intent, a public hearing and first reading of the Ordinance will be scheduled for November 18, 2025, followed by the second reading on December 16, 2025, during the regular City Council meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT
The franchise agreement, if approved, will generate a minimum of $7,500 in General Fund revenue annually for a term of 5 years. The amount of each annual payment shall be revised according to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Additionally, the City will receive $15,000 one-time revenue fee as a condition of renewal.
VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization, establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

BACKGROUND
The City of Lomita is committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and engaging community for older adults. In response to feedback from residents and the growing needs of our senior population, staff has developed a new program geared toward the older adult population called the Lomita Community Activities and Resources for Elders, or Lomita CARES. Lomita CARES reflects the City’s commitment to offer community services to residents of all ages by connecting seniors to programs that promote wellness, social engagement, and accessibility to essential services.
DISCUSSION
In developing the Lomita CARES program, staff worked with the Parks and Recreation Commission to create a Senior Services Subcommittee comprised of two Commissioners. The Senior Services Subcommittee met with staff to discuss future programming items and contributed to the development of the Lomita CARES name.
Staff will begin promoting the new Lomita CARES offerings in our social media and newsletter outlets starting this season. These programs are designed for adults ages 55 and older. Below is a summary of the program lineup for the upcoming season.
