SUBJECT: REPUBLIC SERVICES RECYCLING TONNAGE AND COMPLAINT REPORTS FOR AUGUST 2024
DATE: September 23, 2024
BACKGROUND:

As requested, Republic Services has provided the following clarifications to their reports:

Non-franchise means any business not covered under the City’s Franchise Agreement with Republic Services – for instance, temporary bins or roll offs for construction or cleanups or permanent dumpsters for horse properties.

The Commercial Recycling is hauled to various transfer facilities. Those facilities separate and recover(recycle) a portion of that material. They provide Republic recovery rates each month that is in turn used for the cities Republic serves.

The Greenwaste on the Non-Franchise report can show up and change for various reasons from month to month. Aspects like changes to the customers service type, load contamination and data entry errors can contribute to this.

DISCUSSION:

None.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

RECOMMENDATION:

Receive and file.

SUBJECT: RECEIVE AND FILE THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION'S APPROVAL OF A

SIGN AT PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD AND RANCHERO ROAD
DATE: September 23, 2024
BACKGROUND:

On July 25, 2024, the Traffic Commission approved a sign by a 4-1 vote (Commissioner Raine dissenting), which combines "Uneven Pavement Slow Down" and a 10-mile-per-hour speed limit at a height that does not exceed seven feet. The sign replaces an existing speed limitonly sign (Attachment 1). The Rolling Hills Community Association (RHCA) requested the sign along the southbound lane of Portuguese Bend Road, just north of Ranchero Road (Attachment 2). The sign warns drivers to slow down due to a bump, drop-off, or uneven pavement ahead. Traffic Engineer Vanessa Munoz reviewed the RHCA's request and determined the sign is warranted (Attachment 3).

DISCUSSION:

On July 16, 2024, Traffic Engineer Munoz submitted a memorandum to the City regarding the placement of a temporary sign just north of the Portuguese Bend Road South and Ranchero Road intersection (Attachment B).

Engineer Munoz indicated in the attached memorandum that a customized warning sign with high visibility yellow reflective sheeting reading "Slide Area Uneven Pavement Slow Down," along with a high visibility yellow reflective "10 mph" warning sign (W13-1P), should be placed 100 feet north of Ranchero Road facing southbound traffic on Portuguese Bend Road South.

Care should be taken to ensure that no trees obstruct the sign installation. The new sign combination should be installed with a 7-foot clearance from the bottom of the lowest sign.

The old post and 10 mph (W13-1P) sign should be removed, as it is old, faded, and likely no longer visible at nighttime due to worn reflective sheeting.

At the July 25, 2024 Traffic Commission meeting, a motion was made by Chair Wilson, seconded by Vice Chair Bobit to approve the sign with a recommendation to remove the “slide” verbiage and ensure the sign does not exceed seven feet in height. Before the motion, Commissioner Raine explained that constructing the sign would take longer than fixing the 36 uneven pavement and thus was not in favor of the sign. The motion passed 4-1, with Commissioner Raine dissenting.

Staff is coordinating with the Los Angeles Public Works Department for installation and spoke to them about replacing the wooden pole in kind. LA County does not supply wooden poles, so one would have to be ordered. Installation is expected in the coming weeks.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City has a contract with the Los Angeles County Public Works Department for maintenance and installation of traffic signs. Funds are paid out of the general fund. For Fiscal Year 2024-25, the City has budgeted $19,100 for repairs and maintenance, including traffic signs. The estimate to install the sign is $60 and if authorized, the installation will occur in the coming weeks.

RECOMMENDATION:

Receive and file a sign at Portuguese Road north of Ranchero Road as approved by the Traffic Commission.

Hi Karina,
Thanks for going over this earlier today.

RHCA is asking for a traffic sign along the southbound lane of Portuguese Bend Road, just north of Ranchero Road to warn drivers to drive slowly because there is a bump / drop off / uneven pavement ahead – whatever is the appropriate language.

Below is the Google Earth view I promised. The area in red is where the road is separaƟng and dropping. We are seeing up to a 2” drop a week right now. The yellow line is our suggesƟon for the locaƟon of the sign, but we leave it to Vanessa and her team to select the appropriate place.

The issue we are trying to address is that the road is dropping, so there can be a severe bump and there is limited to no visibility of the cars coming up the hill (northbound) on Portuguese Bend Road on the other side of the area in red.

We are mostly concerned about drivers who are not familiar with the area – amazon, rideshare or postmates, especially at night. We don’t want them going off the “ski jump” ledge and end up in a ditch along side the road.

Thanks so much.

FROM: Vanessa Munoz PE, TE, City Traffic Engineer
DATE: July 16, 2024
SUBJECT: Portuguese Bend Road South at Ranchero Road Sign This memorandum is in response to the request by the city to review and provide input to a sign installation for southbound traffic north of the intersection of Portuguese Bend Road South and Ranchero Road. The objective of the sign is to notify drivers in advance of approaching the intersection about the roadway uneven pavement and deep grades due to the active fault in the area.

A customized warning sign with a high visibility yellow reflectivity sheeting reading “slide area uneven pavement slow down” together with a high visibility yellow reflective sheeting warning sign (W13-1P) “10 mph” shall be placed 100-feet north of Ranchero Road facing southbound traffic on Portuguese Bend Road South, making sure no trees obstruct the sign installation. The new sign combination shall be installed with a 7-foot clearance from bottom of lowest sign. See enclosed Exhibit “A” as reference. The old post and 10mph (W13-1P) sign should be removed, as the sign is old and faded and most likely the reflective sheeting has worn off and won’t be visible at nighttime. .

A HEARING REGARDING A NUISANCE ABATEMENT AT 20
PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD (LOT 58-A-RH), AND CONSIDERATION

OF A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

ROLLING HILLS DECLARING THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY TO

BE A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND ORDERING THE ABATEMENT

THEREOF
DATE: September 23, 2024
BACKGROUND:

On April 22, 2024, City Staff was alerted to the fact that there is a dead pine tree located along Portuguese Bend Road a few hundred feet north of Saddleback Road and Poppy Trail on the east side of the road. Staff reached out to adjacent property owners, the Rolling Hills Community Association (RHCA), and Los Angeles County Weight and Measures to determine the exact location of the tree. After some research, staff determined the dead tree was located at 20 Portuguese Bend Road (Lot 58-A-RH) (hereinafter referred to as the “Subject Property”). The dead tree is clearly visible from the street, is a fire hazard, and an eyesore.

On May 23, 2024, City Staff sent a first notice of violation regarding a dead tree and any other overgrown/dead vegetation on a property located at 20 Portuguese Bend Road (Lot 58-A-RH) (Attachment 2). Per Rolling Hills Municipal Code (RHMC) Section 8.30.010 ( Dead or alive tumbleweeds and dead trees, shrubs, palm fronds or other plants as public nuisance), the violation is a public nuisance:
"Every person who owns or is in possession of any property, place or area within the boundaries of the City shall, at his or her own expense, maintain the property, place or area free from any dead or alive tumbleweed or dead tree, shrub, palm frond or other plant. Any dead or alive tumbleweed or dead tree, shrub, palm frond or other plant located on any property in the City is hereby declared to be a public nuisance." City Staff indicated the tree must be removed no later than June 6, 2024. This deadline 43 passed and the Property Owners failed to make a good faith effort towards abatement of the nuisance condition on the Subject Property.

On June 6, 2024, City Staff sent a second notice to the Owners, indicating that the items must be removed no later than June 20, 2024. This deadline passed, and the Property Owners failed to make a good faith effort to abate the nuisance condition on the Subject Property (Attachment 3).

On August 13, 2024, City Staff sent a Notice to Abate to the Property Owners, requiring them to abate the identified nuisance within 15 days from the date of the Notice, or August 28, 2024. If the conditions in the Notice were not abated, or if the Property Owners failed to make a good faith effort toward abatement to the satisfaction of the City Manager by August 28, 2024, then a hearing would be scheduled before the City Council on August 12, 2024 (Attachment 4).

DISCUSSION:

Pursuant to Sections 8.24.040 and 8.24.050 of RHMC, the City Council may conduct a hearing to consider any protest of the Property Owner, possessor, or other interested person regarding the condition of the Subject Property. If the City Council determines that the property at 20 Portuguese Bend Road constitutes a condition that is injurious to the public health, safety, and welfare by violating Section 8.30.010 of RHMC such that it is a public nuisance pursuant to Chapter 8.24 of RHMC, then the City Council may order the Property Owners to abate such nuisance within 30 days. In the event the property owners fail to complete the measures specified above by the specific dates, the City can perform the corrective measures at the Property Owners’ expense as authorized in Section 8.24.060 of RHMC.

Conclusion
Should the City Council find that the condition of the property continues to constitute a public nuisance within the meaning of the Municipal Code, the attached Resolution contains an order to abate the violation, and states that should the Property Owners fail to perform abatement, the City will either, with the property owner’s consent or under the authority of a new abatement warrant, engage services of a contractor to remediate the site at the property owners’ expense.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If the nuisance is not abated by the Property Owners voluntarily, the City may abate the nuisance by seeking an Abatement Warrant from the local Superior Court at the expense of the Property Owners. If the total cost of abating the nuisance is not paid to the City within 10 days after notice is given, the City Clerk may record, in the Office of the County Recorder, a statement of the total balance due to the City, which shall constitute a lien upon the property.

In the alternative to a warrant, the City may proceed with filing a nuisance lawsuit and request the appointment of a receiver to clean up the property and recover costs through the litigation.

RECOMMENDATION:

Open the public hearing, consider all testimony and, upon consideration of the evidence, adopt Resolution No. 1380 (Attachment 1) declaring the condition to constitute a public 44 nuisance and ordering the abatement thereof.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DECLARING A DEAD TREE ON A PROPERTY LOCATED AT 20

PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD TO BE A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND
ORDERING THE ABATEMENT THEREOF (LOT 58-A-RH) (DYER)
The City Council of the City of Rolling Hills does hereby find, resolve and order as follows:

Section 1. Recitals.

A. It is the duty of every person that owns or is in possession of any property, place or area within the boundaries of the City to maintain the property, place or area free from any nuisance. (Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 8.24.020.) Section 8.30.010 (Dead or alive tumbleweeds and dead trees, shrubs, palm fronds or other plants as public nuisance) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code states: “Every person who owns or is in possession of any property, place or area within the boundaries of the City shall, at his or her own expense, maintain the property, place or area free from any dead or alive tumbleweed or dead tree, shrub, palm frond or other plant. Any dead or alive tumbleweed or dead tree, shrub, palm frond or other plant located on any property in the City is hereby declared to be a public nuisance.” (Emphasis added.) Any condition in violation of Chapter 8.30 is a public nuisance. (Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 8.30.010(A).) B. On April 22, 2024, City Staff was alerted to the fact that there is a dead pine tree located along Portuguese Bend Road a few hundred feet north of Saddleback Road and Poppy Trail on the east side of the road. After some research, staff determined the dead tree was located at 20 Portuguese Bend Road (Lot 58-A-RH) (hereinafter referred to as the “Subject Property”). The dead tree is clearly visible from the street, is a fire hazard, and an eyesore.

C. On May 23, 2024, City Staff notified the owners of the Subject Property, Mr. and Mrs. Terry and Margaret Reiter (“Property Owners”), that the dead tree and any other overgrown/dead vegetation found on the Subject Property is in violation of Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 8.30.010 and must be removed. Section 8.24.010 reads, “For the purposes of this chapter, a "nuisance" shall be defined as anything which is injurious to health or safety, or is indecent or offensive to the senses, or an obstruction to the free use of property or injurious to the stability of real property so as to interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life or property, or unlawfully obstructs the free passage or use, in the customary manner, of any street, and affects at the same time an entire community or neighborhood, or any considerable number of persons, although the extent of the 46 Resolution No. 1380 2
annoyance or damage inflicted upon individuals may be unequal.” City Staff indicated that said items must be removed no later than June 6, 2024. This deadline passed and the Property Owners failed to make a good faith effort towards abatement of the nuisance condition on the Subject Property.

D. On June 6, 2024, City Staff sent a second notice to the Owners and indicated that said items must be removed no later than June 20, 2024. This deadline passed and the Property Owners failed to make a good faith effort towards abatement of the nuisance condition on the Subject Property.

E. On August 13, 2024, City Staff sent a Notice to Abate to the Property Owners that required the Owners to abate the identified nuisance within 15 days from the date of the Notice, or August 28, 2024. If the conditions in the Notice were not abated, or if the Property Owners failed to make a good faith effort toward abatement to the satisfaction of the City Manager by August 28, 2024, then a hearing would be scheduled before the City Council on September 23, 2024.

Section 2. Pursuant to Sections 8.24.040 and 8.24.050 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, the City Council conducted a hearing on September 23, 2024, to consider any protest of the Property Owner, possessor or other interested person regarding the condition of the Subject Property.

Section 3. Upon consideration of the staff report, related documents and the evidence presented at the time of the hearing, the City Council determines that the property at 20 Portuguese Bend Road constitutes a condition that is injurious to the public health, safety and welfare by violating Section 8.30.010 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code such that it is a public nuisance pursuant to Chapter 8.24 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code.

Section 4. In accordance with the foregoing, and because it is the duty of property owners to maintain their properties free of nuisances, the City Council orders that the Property Owners remove the dead tree on the Subject Property within 30 days of the date of this Resolution but no later than October 23, 2024. In the event the property owners fail to complete the measures specified above by the specific dates the City will perform the corrective measures at the Property Owners’ expense as authorized in Section 8.24.060 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code.

Section 5. If the nuisance is not abated as specified herein, then the City Manager is directed to cause the nuisance to be abated by the City by seeking an Abatement Warrant from the local Superior Court, and also is directed to notify the property owner in writing by certified mail and regular mail of the cost of removal of the nuisance and that payment in full for removal of the nuisance is due to the City within 10 days of the date of mailing of the notice. If the total cost of abating the nuisance is not paid to the City within 10 days after the date of the notice, the City Clerk shall record, in 47 Resolution No. 1380 3
the Office of the County Recorder, a statement of the total balance due to the City, which shall constitute a lien upon the property in accordance with section 8.24.080 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code.

Section 6. The City Clerk is hereby directed to send a copy of this resolution by certified and regular mail to the owners of the property located at 20 Portuguese Bend Road.

Section 7. This resolution shall take effect immediately on September 23, 2024.

PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 23rd DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 2024. ______________________________

RELATED TO LAND MOVEMENT AND UTILITY SHUTOFFS; AND (2)

DIRECT CITY MANAGER TO SEND LETTER TO LOS ANGELES

COUNTY SUPERVISOR JANICE HAHN REQUESTING FINANCIAL

ASSISTANCE FOR IMMEDIATE NEEDS RELATED TO COUNTY FEES
DATE: September 23, 2024
BACKGROUND:

The California Emergency Service Act allows the City to proclaim a local state of emergency when needed to protect the public safety in dire circumstances. Further, Chapter 2.32 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code details the City’s powers and creation of its Disaster Council in the event of a local emergency. As described below, the recent issues related to land movement in the City and the curtailment of electric and gas services to certain residents in the City currently constitutes a condition, or threatened condition, of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the City of Rolling Hills.

Starting in July of 2024, the City began to see an uptick in issues related to land movement in the City. On or around July 11, 2024, the City was notified by the Rolling Hills Community Association (RHCA) of land movement on Cinchring Road, a newly identified area of concern.

The RHCA has since contracted a geologist who has set out monitoring points. Data is currently being collected and early reports show movement is present, however, more time is needed to conclude at what exact rate the movement is occurring.

On or around July 23, 2024, Acting Assistant Chief Kane from the Los Angeles County Fire Department, the RHCA and the City visited Cinchring Road and Quailridge Road South and found a concerning fissure on Quailridge Road South.

On July 25, 2024, there was a water main break on Cinchring Road.

On July 30, 2024, property damage as a result of land movement was reported to the City by a homeowner. Cracks were visibly noticed on the exterior of the home. Cal Water was also 56 called in on this day to repair a second water main break.

On or around August 22, 2024, a second resident reported damage to their home due to presumed land movement. Also on this day, the City received notice that Fire Station 56, on Crest Road West, had experienced damage that was being address by the Los Angeles County Fire Department's maintenance team.

On September 10, 2024, Southern California Edison (SCE) informed staff that 23 households would receive a notice of potential service shut-off due to land movement (Attachment A).

On September 12, 2024, staff was informed that Southern California Gas (SCG) would shut off services to 35 households due to ongoing land movement in the City effective Monday, September 16, at approximately 3 p.m. By 8:00 p.m., the total impacted households increased to 37.

Also, SCE informed the City that an additional 28 homes would receive the same letter informing them of a potential service shut-off due to land movement totaling 51 Rolling Hills households.

On September 13, 2024, SCE informed the City that they would de-energize 51 customers on September 18, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. or sooner.

Additionally, throughout the above-mentioned timeframe, numerous residents have commented to the City Council about the increased land movement in the City and requested various remedial actions to ameliorate the issue.

DISCUSSION:

Since July, residents have experienced adverse impacts from land movement that has damaged homes and roads in the City. In addition, SCE and SoCal Gas have both curtailed utility service to certain homes within the City. These utilities have informed the City and residents that the reason for this service stoppage was land movement, the public safety threat posed by potential line/wire failure, and the possible negative impacts further damage to their respective infrastructure could have City-wide. SCE has de-energized fifty-one (51) homes indefinitely and SoCal Gas has discontinued service for thirty-seven (37) homes indefinitely.

California Government Code Section 8630 empowers the City Council to proclaim the existence of a Local Emergency when there is extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the territorial limits of the City. Additionally, California Government Code Section 8634 empowers the City Council to promulgate orders and regulations necessary to provide for the protection of life and property during the time of a Local Emergency. These statutes codify the constitutional “police powers” of local governments to adopt local legislation designed to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the community.

Further, the City’s Municipal Code (Chapter 2.32) establishes the City’s disaster council and policies and procedures for dealing with a local emergency. A declaration of local emergency will, among other things, provide the City greater flexibility to act expediently when trying to address and mitigate the danger posed by the local emergency. It may also aid in coordination with other governmental entities and allow the City access to other resources. 57 Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 2.32.020, defines emergency as:
“the actual or threatened existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the City caused by such conditions as air pollution, fire, flood, storm, epidemic, riot, earthquake, or other conditions resulting from war or imminent threat of war, but other than conditions resulting from a labor controversy, which conditions are or are likely to be beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment and facilities of the City, requiring the combined forces of other political subdivisions to combat.”
Government Code Section 8558(c)(1) defines a local emergency as:
“duly proclaimed existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the territorial limits of a county, city and county, or city, caused by conditions such as air pollution, fire, flood, storm, epidemic, riot, drought, cyberterrorism, sudden and severe energy shortage, de-energization event, plant or animal infestation or disease, the Governor’s warning of an earthquake or volcanic prediction, or an earthquake, or other conditions, other than conditions resulting from a labor controversy, which are or are likely to be beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of that political subdivision and require the combined forces of other political subdivisions to combat, or with respect to regulated energy utilities, a sudden and severe energy shortage or de-energization event that requires extraordinary measures beyond the authority vested in the California Public Utilities Commission.” The City Council is empowered by the above-mentioned sources to declare a local emergency. As required by law, if the City Council were to declare a local emergency, the City Council shall review the need to continue the state of emergency every 60 days until this local emergency is terminated. As part of the local emergency declaration, and in addition to the powers and duties described in Chapter 2.32 the City Council can direct the City Manager and staff to promulgate rules and regulations on matters reasonably related to the protection of life and property affected by the emergency. This could include, but is not limited to, relaxing or modifying certain zoning standards to allow development such a solar equipment or propane tanks to service homes that no longer have electricity or gas service.

Disaster Council Membership
For reference the following Municipal Code sections are provided that prescribe the creation of the City’s Disaster Council and pertinent powers. This is not an exhaustive list:

Section 2.32.040:

It shall be the duty of the Disaster Council, and it is empowered, to develop and recommend for adoption by the City Council, emergency and mutual aid plans and agreements and such ordinances and resolutions and rules and regulations as are necessary to implement such plans and agreements.

Section 2.32.050:
a. There is created the office of Director of Emergency Services. The City Manager shall be the Director of Emergency Services.
b. There is created the office of Assistant Director of Emergency Services, who shall be appointed by the Director.

Section 2.32.060:

A. The Director is empowered to:

1. Request the City Council to proclaim the existence or threatened existence of a "local emergency" if the City Council is in session, or to issue such proclamation if the City Council is not in session. Whenever a local emergency is proclaimed by the Director, the City Council shall take action to ratify the proclamation within seven days thereafter, or the proclamation shall have no further force or effect;

2. Request the Governor to proclaim a "state of emergency" when, in the opinion of the Director, the locally available resources are inadequate to cope with the emergency;

3. Control and direct the effort of the emergency organization of the City for the accomplishment of the purposes of this chapter;

4. Direct cooperation between and coordination of services and staff of the emergency organization of this City; and resolve questions of authority and responsibility that may arise between them;

6. In the event of the proclamation of a local emergency as provided in this chapter, the proclamation of a state of emergency by the Governor or the Director of the State Office of Emergency Services, or the existence of a "state of war emergency," the Director is empowered:
a. To make and issue rules and regulations on matters reasonably related to the protection of life and property as affected by such emergency; provided, however, such rules and regulations must be confirmed at the earliest practicable time by the City Council,
b. To obtain vital supplies, equipment, and such other properties found lacking and needed for the protection of life and property and to bind the City for the fair value thereof, and, if required immediately, to commandeer the same for public use,

C. The Assistant Director shall, under the supervision of the Director and with the assistance of emergency service chiefs, develop emergency plans and manage the emergency programs of the City, and shall have such other powers and duties as may be assigned by the Director.

City and County Permitting Process and Fees
In response to the utility shut-offs, residents of the City are exploring or installing alternative utility equipment such as solar panels, energy storage systems (batteries; ESS), generators, and propane tanks. City staff is accepting applications over the counter and approving administratively as quickly as possible on a temporary basis with no fee. In some cases, the equipment is being stored in areas that would normally require a variance request, such as placing equipment in the front yard or in a required setback. Once an application is approved by the City and the Rolling Hills Community Association (RHCA), applicants can proceed to Los Angeles County Building and Safety (LACBS) or obtain permits. LACBS is aware of the dire situation, and its staff is expediting applications received for the affected areas. However, LACBS still requires fees to cover plan checks, permit issuance, and inspection costs. Due to the short notice given to residents, many are challenged to pay these fees.

Currently, staff is processing certain applications under the temporary use permits section of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code (Chapter 17.48) to provide the most expedited review.

However, this is likely not an ideal permanent solution, as permanent entitlements would require more formal procedures, possible public hearings, discretionary review, and fees.

Returning back to the temporary use permit process currently being utilized, once approval from the City is obtained, residents may proceed to LACBS for issuance of permits. Permit fees will vary based on the size of equipment, number of fixtures, size of conduit, etc.

Equipment for each residence will vary based on the size of the residence and usage. For a residence of 4,000 square feet, the following sizes may be expected:

Solar panels: 30 kWh system
Solar batteries: 4 batteries (Tesla Powerwall 3)
Generators: 30 kWh
Propane tank: 500/1,000 gallon
In addition to review by LACBS, applications may be referred to the County Fire Department and Health Department depending on the type of equipment. Propane tanks with a gas line width of less than 2 inches only require a permit for a low-pressure gas line and can be issued 60 quickly. However, gas lines with a width of 2 inches or more require a full plan check through the Fire Department. Similarly, solar panels and solar batteries that do not exceed 38.4 kilowatt alternating current (kW AC) may be processed by the County as express permits, which are not plan-checked.

LA County is aware of the utility shutoffs and is processing applications expeditiously.

However, for health and safety reasons, requirements cannot be waived. The Fire Department still requires equipment to be a certain distance from living structures. The Health Department does not allow equipment to be located on top of septic tanks or in leach fields. LA County Fire permit fees can be as much as $1,170. Waiving these fees is also essential, as fees are collected prior to the issuance of permits.

City staff is looking for the City Council’s affirmation of the current process on the city side to ensure the best and most efficient service to its impacted residents. Further, the City Council should consider directing staff to waive either all or some of the fees for discretionary applications (e.g., variance, noticing, environmental fee). Additionally, the City could consider formal direction to City staff to relax certain code requirements that require such equipment to be outside of the front yard or required setbacks to those residents impacted by the utility shutoffs.

The City contracts with Los Angeles County for various services that may be contemplated and relied upon in response to the subject matter of the local emergency. Due to the contractual relationship with the County, the City is not unilaterally able to waive fees or provide other services free of charge to impacted residents. Thus, as part of the local emergency declaration, City staff is requesting that the City Council authorize the City Manager to formally request, in writing, from Supervisor Janice Hahn or other pertinent recipients, financial assistance pertaining to fees or other services that the City pays the County. If successful, these requests would aid in the City’s response to the local emergency.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

This resolution and the actions taken and/or proposed herein are not a project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) since they are activities that are excluded from the definition of a project by section 21065 of the California Public Resources Code and section 15378(b) of the State CEQA Guidelines. The proposed actions are organizational or administrative activities of government which will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. These actions are also exempt from CEQA as specific actions necessary to prevent or mitigate an emergency pursuant to section 21080(b)(4) and section 15269(c) of the State CEQA Guidelines. They also are exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 – existing facilities. Coordinating and improving infrastructure and safety as well as education and enforcement efforts for safer driving and use of PCH are all exempt activities. Further, to the extent there are minor/temporary uses of land having a negligible or no permanent effect on the environment, these activities are exempt under Section 15304(e) of the CEQA Guidelines.

NOTE:

Resolution No. 1381 (Attachment B) will be added as a blue folder supplemental item for the Monday, September 23, 2024 City Council meeting.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There are no direct fiscal costs related to the declaration of local emergency. 61 The estimated costs in responding to the land movement and utility service shut offs are unknown currently due to the evolving nature of the circumstances. Adoption of Resolution No.1381 will, among other things, allow the City to request resources including financial support and reimbursement from the State Office of Emergency Services (OES) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for costs incurred for the response to this emergency.

It should be noted that reimbursement is not guaranteed.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No.1381, declaring the existence of a local emergency, and direct the City Manager to send a letter to Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn or other pertinent recipients requesting financial assistance for immediate needs related to County fees.

Attachment A - PS_LDM_240910_SCE_NoticeOfPotentialServiceShutoff.pdf 62 NOTICE OF POTENTIAL SERVICE SHUT OFF DUE TO LAND MOVEMENT Dear [CUSTOMER NAME],
Significant and accelerating land movement is impacting the electrical grid supplying power to your area, putting multiple properties and utilities’ infrastructure at risk. Please be advised that Southern California Edison’s service to your property may be discontinued if conditions warrant. At this time, we are not planning to deenergize service to your home, but we are actively monitoring the dynamic conditions as they change.

Nothing is more important than the safety of the public, customers and our crews. The ground movement affecting the circuit that serves your neighborhood has created unsafe and hazardous conditions, which have already impacted SCE’s infrastructure, causing power poles to lean and power lines to fail. The impact on SCE’s equipment caused by these hazardous conditions increases the risk of system failure, fire ignition or other public safety hazards.

SCE will continue to serve your community as long as it is safe to do so. The decision to turn off power is never taken lightly. We are working closely with officials at the City of Rolling Hills and Los Angeles County to monitor area conditions and share information about utility impacts.

We know how disruptive the loss of power would be, and we appreciate your understanding and patience. We will make every effort to provide timely communications regarding impact to your service. However, the dynamic conditions in the area may not allow for advance notification.

Because of this, customers receiving this notice in the Quail Ridge area are encouraged to begin planning for the potential suspension of electric service.

Learn More:

If you have questions, please visit sce.com/rpv or call 1-800-250-7339 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday or Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the most up-to-date information on the situation.

REMEMBER: If you see a downed power line, call 911 first and notify SCE at 1-800-611-1911.

Sincerely,
63 Jill C. Anderson

SERVICES IN RESPONSE TO UTILITY SHUTOFFS IN THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS; TO RETURN WITH A BUDGET AMENDMENT
RESOLUTION; AND TO SEND A LETTER TO LOS ANGELES COUNTY

SUPERVISOR JANICE HAHN REQUESTING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

FOR THE AFOREMENTIONED LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AND

ADDITIONAL COUNTY SERVICES
DATE: September 23, 2024
BACKGROUND:

On September 10, 2024, Southern California Edison (SCE) informed staff that 23 households would receive a notice of potential service shut-off due to land movement (Attachment A).

Also, SCE informed the City that an additional 28 homes would receive the same letter informing them of a potential service shut-off due to land movement totaling 51 Rolling Hills households.

On September 13, 2024, SCE informed the City that they would de-energize 51 customers on September 18, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. or sooner.

On September 17, 2024, staff met with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department to discuss public safety in the Rolling Hills community. Staff was assured that the Lomita Station was committed to protecting the neighborhoods by conducting high-visibility patrol checks on all three shifts.
65 DISCUSSION:

In response to the emergency utility shutoffs affecting Rolling Hills residents, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) can provide additional patrol services outside of the existing Fiscal Year (FY) 24/25 Service Level Authorization (SH-AD 575) (Attachment B).

Staff recommends that the City Council consider and discuss the potential of authorizing the City Manager to procure additional law enforcement patrol services, as needed, to ensure the safety of impacted residents and their property.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The FY 24/25 LASD SH-AD 575 estimated annual cost for service units and liability is $435,758.65
The FY 24/25 adopted budget for law enforcement service is apportioned as $293,000 to 01- 25-830 and $142,759 to Fund 10 (COPs Fund).

The FY24/25 adopted budget for the COPs Fund is $170,000. This fund is used specifically for supplemental services to the annual contract as well as for supplemental traffic enforcement.

While it could be used for this request, it is probable that costs would exceed the adopted amount designed for the two aforementioned services.

Additional funds for supplemental patrol services during this time of need would require a budget amendment resolution.

RECOMMENDATION:

Provide direction to staff.

Petitioned Resolutions (during conference)
The petitioned resolution is an alternate method to introduce policy proposals during the annual conference. To initiate a petitioned resolution, voting delegates from 10% of member cities must sign the petition. The resolution and signatures are due at least 24 hours before the beginning of the General Assembly. Voting delegates who have checked-in at the voting delegate booth can receive more information on petitioned resolutions at the booth onsite. 1 77
Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.

How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.

The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.

The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.

Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.

Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.

Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.

Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.

The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.

Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.

Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.

During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.

Cal Cities policy
development is a memberinformed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.

Items on the Consent Calendar will be presented as one motion during the General Assembly from the Resolutions Committee chair. Unless an item on the Consent Calendar is set aside by the majority of the General Assembly, a vote will be taken on the whole calendar. It an item is set aside, it will be opened for discussion, followed by a vote.

Items on the Regular Calendar will be presented individually by the Resolutions Committee chair. After a recommendation is presented by the Resolutions Committee chair, the resolution will be opened for discussion by the General Assembly. A vote will take place following discussion.

Voting Procedures:

Per Cal Cities Bylaws Article XII, Sec. 2, all votes will be conducted by voice vote first. If the presiding official cannot determine the outcome a vote will be taken by an alternative method, typically a raise of voting cards by voting delegates. A roll call vote may be called for by delegates of ten percent or more of the General Assembly.

League of California Cities Staff Analysis on Resolution No. 1 Staff: Johnnie Pina, Legislative Affairs, Lobbyist
Committee: Governance, Transparency, and Labor Relations Summary:

This Resolution states that the League of California Cities shall call upon the Governor of the State of California and the elected members of the California Legislature, including all members of the Senate and Assembly to adopt the following policy:
“The California State Legislature shall not enact, and the Governor shall not sign into law, any law or regulation that applies solely to elected officials of California cities and counties, unless such law or regulation also applies equally to members of the California State Assembly and Senate. This prohibition shall not apply to laws or regulations affecting the inherent powers of the legislative branch under the California Constitution.”
Background:

This resolution states that examples of the California Legislature imposing rules limiting authority or regulating the conduct of local municipal officials that do not also apply to elected officials of the State of California include, but are not limited to:
• California’s open meeting rules, codified in the Ralph M. Brown Act, Government Code, Chapter 9, §§ 54950 et seq.;
• “One-off” exemptions, in the form of Senate Bill No. 174, from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”);
• Rules, in the form of Senate Bill No. 1439, amending the Political Reform Act (the “Act”); and
• Rules, in the form of Assembly Bill No. 571, that apply to city and county candidates for local elected office, but not to candidates for state-wide office.

Ralph M. Brown Act
The California Attorney General’s (AG) Office defines The Ralph M. Brown Act (Brown Act) as what governs meetings conducted by local legislative bodies, such as boards of supervisors, city councils and school boards. The AG’s office states the Act represents the Legislature’s determination of how the balance should be struck between public access to meetings of multi-member public bodies on the one hand and the need for confidential candor, debate, and information gathering on the other.

The Ralph M. Brown Act governs local agencies, the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act covers all state boards and commissions, and Government code 17 93
9027 governs the state Legislature. The California Constitution also mandates open meetings for state agencies, boards, and commissions. Specifically, the Constitution requires that each local agency comply with the Brown Act (Article I, section 3(b)(7)): and that the proceedings of each house of the Legislature be open and public (with exceptions for employment matters; matters affecting security; confer with legal counsel; and to meet as a caucus (Article IV, section 7).

Although fairly detailed requirements apply to state agencies and other state bodies, they do not apply to the Legislature. The Legislature has Constitutional authority to adopt rules for its proceedings that are consistent with the requirement that the proceedings of each house and the committees be open and public.

Another notable difference between the Legislature and a city council is the ability for Legislators to have a caucus to discuss a bill, express how they will vote, and to count votes. This is not allowed under the Brown Act. One other difference is that the laws governing teleconferencing for members of the state Legislature is far less flexible than it is for local bodies. However, state agencies have more flexibility than locals in that regard.

California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”)
The Resolution cites the Legislature's action in exempting from CEQA the reconstruction of the State Capitol Annex building. The State Legislature enacted the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in 1970, establishing it as a public disclosure law for the environmental review of discretionary projects and a process for mitigating or avoiding potential environmental impacts.

SB 174 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review) Chaptered by Secretary of State. Chapter 74, Statutes of 2024 was signed into law July 2, 2024. This bill exempts the work performed under the State Capitol Building Annex Act of 2016 from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In this example the Legislature exempted themselves as not being considered a “public agency,” “state agency,” or “lead agency” under CEQA. A lead agency under CEQA is the public agency that has the principal responsibility for carrying out or approving a project that is subject to CEQA.

Over the years, the Legislature has also created many CEQA exceptions and exemptions for local projects involving local agencies as well.

The Political Reform Act (PRA) - Senate Bill No. 1439
SB 1439 (Glazer) Chaptered by Secretary of State. Chapter 848, Statutes of 2022 amends section 84308 and is aimed at preventing "pay-to-play" practices, in part by prohibiting parties, participants, and their respective agents in a 18 94
proceeding involving a license, permit, or other entitlement for use from contributing more than $250 to an officer of an agency during a 12 month period. When the Levine Act was first enacted in 1982, Section 84308 applied to appointed members of boards and commissions who were running for elective office. SB 1439 expended this law to now apply to local elected officials. Since it is focused on permits and licenses, it now applies to State agencies and local agencies that approve permits and licenses. Section 84308 does not apply to the Legislature or the Courts. It is important to note that unlike local governments, neither issue permits and licenses.

The Political Reform Act (PRA) - Assembly Bill No. 571
AB 571 (Mullin) Chaptered by Secretary of State. Chapter 556, Statutes of 2019 established default campaign contribution limits for county and city office at the same level as the limit on contributions from individuals to candidates for Senate and Assembly, effective January 1, 2021. This bill permitted a county or city to establish its own contribution limits, which would prevail over these default limits.

The Resolution cites AB 571 as an example of treating cities differently than the State. The Fair Political Practices Commission clarifies in their AB 571 fact sheet that under AB 571 a city may elect to have "no" contribution limit in which case the state contribution limit will not apply as a default for that jurisdiction. A city or county can set contribution limits higher than the default state limit, AB 571 sets a default in line with contributions Assembly Members and Senators if a city or county is silent on contribution limits.

Fiscal Impact:

Unknown.

Existing Cal Cities Policy:

Mission Statement
To expand and protect local control for cities through education and advocacy to enhance the quality of life for all Californians.

We Believe:
• Local self-governance is the cornerstone of democracy. • In the involvement of all stakeholders in establishing goals and in solving problems.
• In conducting the business of government with transparency, openness, respect, and civility. The spirit of honest public service is what builds communities.
• Open decision-making that is of the highest ethical standards honors the public trust.
• The vitality of cities is dependent upon their fiscal stability and local autonomy. The active participation of all city officials increases Cal Cities’ effectiveness.
19 95
• Partnerships and collaborations are essential elements of focused advocacy and lobbying.
• Ethical and well-informed city officials are essential for responsive, visionary leadership and effective and efficient city operations.

Comments:

Additional Examples
The Legislature has passed and the Governor has signed many laws that apply to local governments and do not apply to the state or the state Legislature. This year AB 2561(McKinnor) was introduced, which requires local governments to present in a public meeting a detailed report about their vacancy rates and detailed information about their hiring practices. This is an attempt to address public sector vacancy rates. This bill does not apply to the state in a time when they are also dealing with high vacancy rates.

Additionally, there were several bills that aim to amend the Levine Act, which now applies to local elected officials, to make changes to SB 1439, referenced previously in the analysis. None of the bills would amend the law to be applicable to Assembly Members or Senators.

AB 817 (Pacheco), co-sponsored by Cal Cities tried to bring parity to the Brown Act by making the teleconference rules for state advisory bodies the same for local advisory bodies but the Legislature struck the bill down.

Applying to elected officials or to the legislative body? Legislature or the State? The resolution also states, “… applies solely to elected officials of California cities and counties, unless such law or regulation also applies equally to members of the California State Assembly and Senate.”
This portion of the resolve clause is specifically speaking to local elected officials and State Assembly Members and Senators. However, many of the “where as” clauses are in reference to laws that apply to cities, the state and the Legislature as government agencies and not specifically to the elected officials on the governing bodies. For example, the Brown Act applies rules to the Legislative body and not the individual council member. Additionally, the city council as a whole is the lead agency under CEQA and not the individual council members.

Inherent Powers of the Legislative Branch
The resolution also states, “This prohibition shall not apply to laws or regulations affecting the inherent powers of the legislative branch under the California Constitution.”
It is unclear what inherent powers of the legislate branch under the California Constitution means in this context. The legislative branch does have the power 20 96
of preemption over cities and can state that a change in law is a matter of state wide concern. This allows the legislative branch to apply new laws or amend existing laws to apply to general law and charter cities. It seems like the last sentence of the resolve clause could negate the rest of the resolve clause if not clarified.
