Report
City Council Meeting: August 27, 2024
Agenda Item: 5.K
1 of 4
To: Mayor and City Council
From: David Martin, Director, Administration
Subject: Approval to Authorize City Manager to Execute and Negotiate Lease Agreements with Bergamot Station Arts Center Tenants
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Adopt a finding of Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and a finding no possibility of significant effect pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) of the CEQA Guidelines;

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute and negotiate a 41-month lease agreement with Social and Public Art Resource Center (SPARC) through 2027; and

3. Authorize the City Manager to execute and negotiate lease agreements with Bergamot Station Arts Center (Bergamot) tenants for up to 36 months (through 2027).

Summary
Staff recommends Council authorization for the City Manager to execute and negotiate lease agreements (Agreements) at Bergamot of up to 36 months or through 2027 in lieu of annual terms. The Agreements would support tenant investment and streamline lease renewals for long-term tenants in good standing.

Discussion
Bergamot is located at 2525 Michigan Avenue (Property) and is one of Santa Monica’s most prominent cultural arts assets and cultural hubs. The City purchased the Property in 1989 with Department of Transportation (DOT) funds and with the goal that the

5.K
Packet Pg. 817
2 of 4
Property could serve future transit needs, including providing a revenue source for DOT.

Around 1993, as an interim measure until future transit developments were realized, the City master-leased the Property to a developer and gallerist to curate and operate an arts center we know today as Bergamot.

In 2000, Council approved Bergamot Station Leasing Guidelines (Guidelines) to maintain and enhance the interim use of Bergamot in service and support of the Santa Monica arts community. In recognition of City investment, the then master lessee was offered a five-year term lease plus five one-year options. In turn, the master lessee(s) offered annual subleases to tenants to coincide with its one-year options.

The City assumed responsibilities of the overall ground lease in 2022 and direct administration of Agreements. The City maintained the one-year lease renewal structure for continuity and flexibility in anticipation of future redevelopment of the Property. In July 2024, Council authorized executing a contract with Rising Realty Partners for property management of Bergamot.

SPARC
In February 2024, SPARC executed a six-month lease agreement with the City at Bergamot Station Arts Center. SPARC has since requested to extend its lease through 2027 to meet a condition of grant funding.

SPARC received a grant from the State of California Natural Resource Agency (Grant) to replace, repair, and improve the Great Wall of Los Angeles Mural and Great Wall Interpretive Bridge (Great Wall). The Great Wall is a half-mile long mural depicting the history of California through images of significant figures and historic events from diverse and traditionally marginalized communities. An element of the Grant includes site control of rental space to support the Great Wall project. To meet the condition of the Grant, SPARC proposes extending its lease through 2027, or an extension of approximately 41 months.

5.K
Packet Pg. 818
3 of 4
The proposed extension would be in continued service and support to the arts community in Santa Monica, create synergy within Bergamot, and provide stability to one of the largest gallery spaces at Bergamot with rental revenue backed by the Grant.

Bergamot Lease Agreements
Agreements at Bergamot are offered annually, mirroring Guidelines, to Bergamot tenants in good standing. Tenants have expressed that one-year leases do not lend confidence to invest in their spaces; and City and property management staff experience an administrative burden to negotiate and execute nearly 30 Agreements annually.

The proposed modification would allow for negotiation and execution of Agreements of up to 36 months for tenants in good standing, provide confidence for tenant investment, and reallocate property management resources.

Redevelopment
Bergamot is identified as a priority development site for affordable housing in the City’s Housing Element. Staff will be presenting to Council at this meeting on the proposed timeline for implementation. The proposed extension of Agreements through 2027 would not interfere with the Property’s redevelopment timeline.

Past Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
12/05/2000 Council approved and authorized the City Manager to implement Bergamot Station Leasing Guidelines
Environmental Review
The Agreements are exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15301 exempts Class 1 (Existing Facilities) projects from CEQA, which include the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or

5.K
Packet Pg. 819
4 of 4
topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use.

The Agreements provide for the leasing of the existing Bergamot Station and would not expand use of the Property. Therefore, the Agreements are exempt pursuant to Section 15301. Additionally, the Agreements are exempt from CEQA pursuant to the Common Sense Exemption of CEQA Guidelines, which states that CEQA does not apply “where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” The Agreements would lease City-owned real estate and would not result in adverse physical impacts on the environment, and as such, is exempt from CEQA.

Financial Impacts and Budget Actions
There is no immediate financial impact or budget action necessary as a result of the recommended actions. Staff will return to Council if specific budget actions are required in the future.

Report
City Council Meeting: August 27, 2024
Agenda Item: 5.L
1 of 5
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Ramon Batista, Police Chief, Police Department
Subject: Approval of Purchase of Video Storage System for the Police Department's Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) system.

Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council

1. Adopt a finding of no possibility of significant effect pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.

2. Authorize the Procurement Manager to issue a purchase order with Convergint Technologies LLC. for a video storage system for the Police Department. This recommended award is made as an exception to the competitive bidding process pursuant to Section 2.24.25(c) and is for the total amount not to exceed $762,045 (including a $69,277 contingency).

Summary
The City’s current video storage system for the Police Department’s closed-circuit television (CCTV) system was purchased in 2019 and is no longer compatible with the newer video management systems and higher resolution videos. Staff seeks City Council approval to authorize the Procurement Manager to issue a purchase order with Convergint Technologies LLC (Convergint) for a video storage system, which comes with five years of maintenance, in an amount not to exceed $762,045, which includes a 10% contingency.

The City’s current video storage system archives video from over 825 cameras on Santa Monica City’s closed-circuit television (CCTV) system, which includes cameras

from the 3rd St. Promenade, the Pier, Big Blue Bus, parks, Santa Monica Public Library, Santa Monica Airport, traffic intersection cameras, and other City facilities such as City Hall, the Public Safety Facility (PSF), and parking structures.

The Video Management System (VMS) is the software and hardware system which allows video access for the user and sets the parameters regarding the storage of recorded video from cameras it manages. The current Santa Monica City VMS (Teledyne FLIR) is in the process of being replaced using Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) Organized Retail Theft (ORT) Prevention grant funds as part of the Santa Monica Analytical Real Time (SMART) Center project.

The quality and number of CCTV cameras is increasing across the city, due to the SMART Center project and new cameras being acquired by the various departments across the City. These new, modern cameras require ever more storage capacity and processing capabilities. The coming modern VMS also requires a high-capacity, highperformance storage system for rapid and reliable recall of stored video.

The current Isilon video storage system was purchased in 2019, is beyond its service life, and is no longer able to support the City’s new VMS and the new camera network’s higher resolution videos and processing demands. Moreover, the current storage system and VMS have been fraught with repeated failures to capture video and retrieve video for important investigations.

The grant-funded purchase of the new VMS, coupled with the prospect of having to add video storage capacity to the aging and underperforming current storage system, prompted staff to seek options for replacing and modernizing the video storage system.

To procure this new video storage system, the initial plan was to use existing Information Services Department (ISD) vendor contracts through which the video storage unit and servers could be purchased. After the selection of Genetec as the City’s new VMS platform provider through the SMART Center grant project, Genetec informed the City that they could provide a video storage solution using Genetec’s proprietary video compression algorithms. This proprietary solution would reduce the amount of data storage required, as compared to the standard storage solutions being proposed through the ISD vendors. Police and ISD staff decided to use the Genetec solution as it was more cost effective when compared to other standard offerings. The new storage solution would be physically located on City property and managed locally

by ISD staff. Convergint offers competitive pricing for the purchase of the Genetec solution as a result of an existing contract with OMNIA, a governmental and private cooperative purchasing agency that serves state, local, and education entities as they acquire goods or services.

The upgraded video storage system would serve as a key tool to increase safety in Santa Monica by providing reliable and rapid video recall to support post-incident criminal investigations, real-time operations for the coming SMART Center, secure and safe facilities across the City, as well as efficient management of City operations such as traffic flow.

Exception to Competitive Bidding
Staff recommends Convergint Technologies LLC. to furnish and deliver a Video Storage system as an exception to competitive bidding per Muni Code 2.24.250 (c).

OMNIA is a governmental and private cooperative purchasing agency that serves state, local, and education entities. As a cooperative purchasing agency, they acquire goods or services by aggregating the demand of two or more entities in an effort to obtain more economical pricing. Staff would utilize OMNIA contract #R220702 that was established on April 1, 2022 and expires on March 31, 2025, with two additional one-year renewal options. The cooperative contract provides competitive leveraged pricing for Facility Technology Integration & Security System Services. c. competitive procedures were followed by a governmental agency, federal, state, county, city, joint powers agency, special district, or cooperative purchasing agency and the goods or services are supplied to the City at the same or better price;
Environmental Review
The purchase order for a new video storage system is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. The agreement is covered by the common sense exemption which states that CEQA does not apply, “where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” The purchase order will provide for a video storage system. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that actions would not result in adverse physical impacts on the environment, and as such, is exempt from CEQA.

Financial Impacts and Budget Actions
Staff seeks authority to approve funding from the General Fund resulting from resources generated by Measure CS to award a purchase order with Convergint Technologies LLC. for a video storage system.

OAKS INITIATIVE NOTICE

NOTICE TO APPLICANTS, BIDDERS, PROPOSERS

AND OTHERS SEEKING DISCRETIONARY PERMITS, CONTRACTS,

OR OTHER BENEFITS FROM THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA
Santa Monica’s voters adopted a City Charter amendment commonly known as the Oaks Initiative. The Oaks Initiative requires the City to provide this notice and information about the Initiative’s requirements. You may obtain a full copy of the Initiative’s text from the City Clerk.

This information is required by City Charter Article XXII—Taxpayer Protection. It prohibits a public official from receiving, and a person or entity from conferring, specified personal benefits or campaign advantages from a person or entity after the official votes, or otherwise takes official action, to award a “public benefit” to that person or entity. The prohibition applies within and outside of the geographical boundaries of Santa Monica.

All persons or entities applying or receiving public benefits from the City of Santa Monica shall provide the names of trustees, directors, partners, and officers, and names of persons with more than a 10% equity, participation or revenue interest. An exception exists for persons serving in those capacities as volunteers, without compensation, for organizations exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3), (4), or (6), of the Internal Revenue Code. However, this exception does not apply if the organization is a political committee or controls political committees. Examples of a “public benefit” include public contracts to provide goods or services worth more than $25,000 or a land use approval worth more than $25,000 over a 12-month period.

In order to facilitate compliance with the requirements of the Oaks Initiative, the City compiles and maintains certain information. That information includes the name of any person or persons who is seeking a “public benefit.” If the “public benefit” is sought by an entity, rather than an individual person, the information includes the name of every person who is: (a) trustee, (b) director, (c) partner, (d) officer, or has (e) more than a ten percent interest in the entity. Therefore, if you are seeking a “public benefit” covered by the Oaks Initiative, you must supply that information on the Oaks Initiative Disclosure Form. This information must be updated and supplied every 12 months.

Summary
The City of Santa Monica utilizes general contractor services to perform work that requires specialized equipment, contractor licensing, and technical expertise that cannot be provided by City staff. Staff solicits the services of a general contractor over 150 times per year to ensure effective and efficient maintenance of the City’s infrastructure.

These contracted services range from jobs that require immediate attention due to safety concerns, to large-scale repairs that require specific State Contractor Licenses and equipment certifications. Since the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) typically covers preventative maintenance to critical infrastructure, staff anticipates an increase in frequency of immediate attention and large-scale repairs due to fewer CIP projects being funded. Staff recommends the additional spending authority to replenish exhausted budget authority, allowing staff to continue to utilize the as-needed

5.M
Packet Pg. 831

contractors to make immediate repairs and address safety needs at City facilities for the public and staff in a timely fashion.

Discussion
The Facilities Maintenance Division of Public Works employs four in-house staff to provide carpentry services at City facilities. Such services include locksmith repairs, stucco patching, weather stripping, partition/door installations and the repair of various fixtures throughout the city. Public Works staff solicits the services of a general contractor over 150 times per year to respond to citywide general contractor requests and to assist with overall maintenance and upkeep of City-owned facilities. These services range from jobs that require immediate attention due to safety concerns such as window repairs, trip hazards, and roof leaks to large-scale projects such as wall framing, floor replacements, concrete repairs, playground equipment repairs, and office renovations. Staff also utilizes general contractor services for capital improvement projects when small maintenance scopes grow to include multiple construction activities and are incorporated into a larger scope of services. This increases the cost of the maintenance contract, therefore exhausting the maintenance budget authority at a faster rate.

The City has historically contracted out general contracting services. The “Contract and As-Needed Staffing Review Policy, Practice, Recommendations” report (Attachment A) approved on January 13, 2015, recommended that general contracting services be contracted due to equipment requirements, specialized expertise, and risk management.

On January 24, 2023, Council awarded Bid #4432 (Attachment B), as a split award and authorized the City Manager to negotiate and execute the following agreements:
• Agreement #11352 (Attachment C) to Bayview Construction, Inc., to provide general contractor services in an amount not to exceed $340,000 for two years, with an additional three-year renewal option in the amount of $510,000 for a total amount not to exceed $850,000 over a 5-year period.

5.M
Packet Pg. 832
4 of 6
• Agreement #11353 (Attachment D) to Olympos Painting Inc., to provide general contractor services in an amount not to exceed $750,000 for two years, with an additional three-year renewal option in the amount of $1,125,000 for a total amount not to exceed $1,875,000 over a 5-year period.
• Agreement #11354 (Attachment E) to RAMCO, Inc., to provide general contractor services in an amount not to exceed $900,000 for two years, with aon additional three-year renewal option in the amount of $1,350,000 for a total amount not to exceed $2,250,000 over a 5-year period.

In the past 16 months, there has been an increase in the need for general contracting services due to repair projects resulting from deferred maintenance. Many maintenance projects expanded to include unanticipated scope that is typically included in CIP projects. Staff keeps the original as needed contractor on the project until it is complete to limit responsibility for all construction activity associated with the project to one contractor.

To ensure adequate funding remains available for ongoing maintenance requests, future urgent repair work, as well as small capital projects, modifications for additional spending authority is recommended.

Environmental Review
The awards for general contractor services are categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15301. Section 15301 of the CEQA State Guidelines provides Class 1 (existing facilities) exemption for projects that consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, leasing, licensing, permitting, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of the existing or former use. The awards for the general contractor services would not result in any modifications to existing facilities. The existing facilities would be maintained and repaired with the general contractor services and the award of services would not

expand or materially change existing facilities or operations. Therefore, the award agreements are categorically exempt as set forth in Section 15301 of the CEQA State Guidelines.

WHEREAS, in recognizing that a regulated shared mobility device program could be a valued component of Santa Monica’s local transportation network by promoting alternatives to car trips, in June 2018, the City approved a Shared Mobility Device Pilot Program and associated fees to develop a new area of policy, regulation, operation, and enforcement for shared mobility devices in the City; and WHEREAS, in March 2021, Council adopted a Second Shared Mobility Device Pilot Program, and also directed staff to, upon the conclusion of the Second Shared Mobility Device Pilot Program, shift from a temporary permitting model to a longer-term contracting model with fewer operators for shared mobility services in the City; and WHEREAS, after careful consideration of potential paths forward, City staff recommended a pivot away from contracted shared mobility service to a refreshed and mature long-term permit-based program since the request for proposal process determined that the rationale for shifting toward a contract-based model (centered on the operational stability and efficiency of longer-term commitments from contracted operators, the ability to impose greater affordability constraints on operator fares, and the

5.N.a
Packet Pg. 892 Attachment: ORD-Shared Mobility Services 2d (6540 : Shared Mobility Program - Second Reading) 2 ability to revamp device types and service offerings from operators in a new set of operational agreement) were unlikely to fully materialize, particularly with respect to fare affordability; and
WHEREAS, in the period since Council first directed City staff to select contracted shared mobility service in August 2022, numerous operators have prematurely halted operations within the City, diminished service across other operating regions, declared bankruptcy, and/or halted operations altogether; and
WHEREAS, the City’s shared mobility device program itself continues to offer substantial benefit to the Santa Monica community, including the following: (1) while the ongoing shared mobility pilot is down to two of its initial four operators, and 1,400 of its initial 2,200 permitted devices, ridership in the system – and the mobility benefits that ridership reflects – continues to outpace available alternatives; and (2) in the first quarter of calendar year 2024, the City’s shared mobility program saw a total of 125,736 trips; and
WHEREAS, many of these trips are serving valuable transportation ends, connecting people to jobs, restaurants, and other local destinations; and WHEREAS, the City may continue to benefit from shared mobility services by converting the Second Shared Mobility Device Pilot Program into a long-term permitting program, adopting the following amendments, and updating the administrative regulations.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Chapter 3.22 of the Santa Monica Municipal Code is hereby amended

To: Mayor and City Council
From: Feroz Merchhiya, Chief Information Officer, Information Services Department Subject: Award Sole Source Purchase Order to vCloud Technologies, Inc. for Proofpoint's Email Security Solution
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Adopt a finding of no possibility of significant effect pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines;

2. Authorize the Procurement Manager to issue a purchase order with vCloud Tech Inc. for Proofpoint’s Email Security Solution for the Information Services Department in an amount not to exceed $52,046 for an initial five-month term, with two (2) additional one-year renewal options to extend on the same terms and conditions for a total amount not to exceed $316,957 (including a $28,815 contingency) with future year funding contingent on Council budget approval.

This recommended authorization is made as an exception to the competitive bidding process pursuant to Section 2.24.250(c).

Summary
Ensuring the security and integrity of email and technology systems is critical to the delivery of City services and operations. Proofpoint’s Email Security solution, available for purchase through vCloud Tech Inc. (vCloud), provides critical protection against email-based threats such as phishing, malware, and business email compromise (BEC).

Procuring Proofpoint’s Email Security solution will ensure the City remains secure and resilient against emerging email threats. Staff seeks City Council approval to authorize the Procurement Manager to issue a purchase order with vCloud for Proofpoint’s Email Security in the amount not to exceed $52,046 for an initial five-month term, with two (2) additional one-year renewal options each in an amount not to exceed $118,048, to

5.O

extend on the same terms and conditions for a total amount not to exceed $316,957, which includes a 10% contingency.

Discussion
Since 2019, the City of Santa Monica has relied on Proofpoint’s Email Security to secure its inbound, outbound, and internal emails. As a leading email security solution, Proofpoint’s Email Security offers unique insights into email-based threats and proactively implements protective measures as new threats emerge. Email is one of the most popular vectors for cyberattacks. Without a robust email security solution in place, the City would be vulnerable to a myriad of cyber threats.

The City has successfully and responsibly protected itself with other Proofpoint products purchased through vCloud in the past. On December 12, 2023, City Council awarded Bid #4471 to vCloud to provide Proofpoint's Intelligent Classification and Protection, Enterprise Data Loss Prevention, and Web Security solutions to monitor and safeguard the City’s data stored with cloud-based providers, strengthen identity management, and provide greater cybersecurity risk prioritization to aid in cyberattack prevention.

Proofpoint’s Email Security has demonstrated its effectiveness by intercepting emails containing unknown malware or links to new phishing sites before they reached City employees. In 2024, from April-July, more than half of all incoming emails were blocked as threats, significantly reducing the City’s exposure to cyber risks. Only a fraction of emails were ultimately delivered, underscoring the critical role that Proofpoint’s Email Security plays in maintaining the City’s digital security.

Switching to a new email security solution could disrupt current workflows and require time for integration and adaptation. By continuing with Proofpoint’s Email Security, the City can maintain consistent security measures without interruptions to email operations. Transitioning to a new solution could also incur significant costs, including the purchase of new licenses, implementation fees, and additional training for staff.

Continuing with Proofpoint’s Email Security avoids these expenses and leverages existing investments in the current system. Additionally, City staff are already familiar

5.O
Packet Pg. 909
3 of 4
with Proofpoint’s interface and functionality, minimizing the need for extensive retraining and ensuring a smooth continuation of operations.

Proofpoint’s Email Security solution aligns with the City’s commitment to protecting its digital assets. This initiative supports the goal of minimizing cyber threats and ensuring the safety and security of City communications.

Vendor Selection
Exception to Competitive Bidding
Staff recommends vCloud Tech Inc. (vCloud) to provide Proofpoint’s Email Security solution as an exception to competitive bidding per Muni Code 2.24.250 (c). The National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) conducted a competitive bidding process awarding vCloud as an authorized reseller. Under the State of California’ Participating Addendum, the City of Santa Monica is eligible to piggyback on the NASPO Master Contract Number: AR2472, Contract Number: 7-17-70-40-05. The City of Santa Monica intends to utilize this agreement, which not only ensures competitive pricing but also aligns closely with the City’s requirements for an email protection solution.
c. competitive procedures were followed by a governmental agency, federal, state, county, city, joint powers agency, special district, or cooperative purchasing agency and the goods or services are supplied to the City at the same or better price;
Environmental Review
The proposed agreement with vCloud to provide Proofpoint Email Security software solution is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that CEQA does not apply, “where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” The email security solution is programmatic in nature and would not result in adverse physical effects on the environment, and so therefore, is exempt from CEQA.

to issue a purchase order with vCloud Tech to implement solutions from Proofpoint to monitor and safeguard the City’s data stored with cloud-based providers, strengthen identity management, and provide greater cybersecurity risk prioritization to aid in cyberattack prevention.

Discussion
The City of Santa Monica’s Information Services Department manages a technology environment that includes over 300 software systems, 2,000 computers, a data center, several cloud-hosted solutions, a disaster recovery environment, fiber networks connecting City facilities and assets, and public-facing webpages and portals used by City customers. It is vital this technology and the data stored in them is maintained in such a way to provide resilience and to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the City’s operations.

Selecting Proofpoint’s intelligent classification and protection, data loss prevention, and web security solution is part of ISD’s strategic plan aimed at fortifying the City’s cybersecurity posture. The comprehensive capabilities of Proofpoint’s solution provide robust protection against data breaches and cyber threats.

CITY OF SANTA MONICA

CALIFORNIA LEVINE ACT DISCLOSURE
In 2022, California’s SB1439 extended requirements under Government Code Section 84308, also known as the "Levine Act", to prohibit City “Officers” from participating in any action related to a contract, license, permit, or entitlement if such Officer received campaign contributions totaling more than $250 within the previous twelve months, and for twelve months following the date of a final decision, from a party or participant to the proceeding, or their agent.

Section 84308(a)(4) of the Levine Act defines an "Officer" as follows: “Officer” means any elected or appointed officer of an agency, any alternate to an elected or appointed officer of an agency, and any candidate for elective office in an agency. The term “Officer” is further defined 2 Cal. Code Regs. Section 18438.1, which states:

An officer of an agency includes only those persons who make, participate in making, or in any way attempt to use their official position to influence a decision in the license, permit, or entitlement for use proceeding, or who exercise authority or budgetary control over the agency or officers who may do so, and:
(1) Serve in an elected position, including an official appointed to an elected position due to an interim vacancy or an election otherwise canceled because the official was the sole candidate for the position;
(2) Serve as a member of a board or commission;
(3) Serve as the chief executive of a state agency, or county, city or district of any kind; or
(4) Have decision making authority with respect to the proceeding involving a license, permit, or other entitlement for use and is also a candidate for elected office or has been a candidate for elective office in the 12 months prior to the proceeding.

TO: Public
FROM: City Attorney’s Office
RE: Levine Act Disclosure Form
DATE: January 25, 2024
The Levine Act (Government Code 84308) is a California law aimed at preventing “pay to play” practices by prohibiting parties, participants, and their agents in a proceeding involving a license, permit, or other entitlement from contributing more than $250 to an officer of the City during a 12-month period. The prohibition applies to any 12-month period while the proceeding is pending and for 12 months following the date a final decision is rendered in the proceeding.

State law requires a party to a proceeding to disclose any contributions exceeding an aggregate $250 that the party and their agents have made to an officer of the City within the preceding 12 months. The Disclosure Form is intended to assist City officials with recognizing when they have an obligation to disclose and recuse themselves, and to aid parties with their disclosure obligations.

1. To what sort of proceedings is the disclosure form applicable? The Levine Act applies to all discretionary entitlements and contracts, with the exception of labor contracts, personal employment contracts, and contracts that must be awarded to the lowest responsive/responsible bidder. It does not apply to ministerial approvals.

For instance, the Levine Act applies to the following:
• Building and development permits
• Conditional use permits
• Contracts generally (unless an exception applies):
o Contracts for goods, services, professional services
o Real property contracts for purchase, sale, lease
o Contract amendments
o Settlement agreements
o Small contracts, including purchase orders, and zero dollar contracts (no de minimis exception)
• Public street abandonments
• Private development plans
• Professional license revocations
• Rezoning of specific real estate parcels
• Event permits
• Rulemaking procedures affecting a particular industry where only a small number of businesses are affected

Page 2 ends

• Special district formation proceedings involving the creation of a special use or benefit to the person in the district
• Tentative subdivision and parcel maps
• Zoning variances
• Vacation of a public easement across private property • Pre-applications, such as for General Plan Amendment, considered by the legislative body prior to filing of formal application
• Contracts entered under the City Manager’s Authority
• Closed session items that may result in a contract/settlement agreement approved by Council (real estate or litigation)
It does not apply to:
• Purely ministerial decisions
• General policy decisions or rules where the interests affected are many and diverse
• Ordinances and resolutions (except items like development agreements adopted by ordinance)
• Ballot measures
• Departmental policies
• Council rules
• Contracts awarded to the lowest responsive/responsible bidder (not applicable in Santa Monica)
• Labor contracts and project labor agreements
• Personal employment contracts
• Allocation of resources in the City budget

2. Who is required to disclose?
A “party” to a proceeding is any person who files an application for, or is the subject of, a proceeding. In general, a person or company who applies for a permit, license, or right to use property in a particular way, which requires the City’s discretionary approval, will qualify as a party.

Parties are also required to disclose contributions by their agents. An “agent” is someone who (1) represents a party to a proceeding for compensation; and (2) appears before or otherwise communicates with the City for the purpose of influencing the pending proceeding. This can include law firms, architects, engineers, consultants, and similar entities. Both the individual and their employer or firm are considered “agents.” A party should also disclose contributions of other entities majority owned by the party, as well as contributions of any other entity whose contributions it directs or controls.

3. What must be disclosed?
A party must disclose campaign contributions over $250 made in the prior twelve months.

A “contribution” is anything of value for which the party has not received full consideration, including money, nonmonetary items, payments made for advertising or

5.O.c
Packet Pg. 921 Attachment: Levine Act Disclosure Form (6548 : Award Sole Source Purchase Order to vCloud for Proofpoint's Email Security)

Page 3 ends

other expenses coordinated with a candidate or committee, loans, tickets to political fundraisers, etc.

4. Who is considered an officer of the City?
An “officer” is anyone who may make, participate in making, or attempt to influence a decision in the proceeding or who exercises authority over officers who may do so. This includes elected officials, members of appointed boards and commissions, the City Manager, and any individual who is a candidate for elected office or who has been a candidate in the twelve months prior to the decision. This definition is included on the Disclosure Form.

5. When should the disclosure occur?
The Disclosure Form must be completed (1) by a party to a contract with the City (or that party’s agent) at the time the party submits a response to a Request for Proposal or other competitive solicitation, enters into contract negotiations with the City, or executes a contract with the City, whichever is earliest; or (2) by a party to a license, permit, or other entitlement proceeding before the City at the time the party (or their agent) submits the license, permit, or entitlement application to the City. The party (or their agent) must submit a supplemental form if they make any new reportable contributions while the same contract, license, permit, or other entitlement is being considered. The party (or their agent) must also use the form if they need to correct any previously submitted form.

Parties are solely responsible for completing the form accurately, and could face penalties for failure to do so. The California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) is the body who enforces violations of the Levine Act. If a party is uncertain about whether they are required to report or combine a contribution, they should consult with their attorney.

Nothing herein constitutes legal advice and individuals are urged to consult with their own attorney regarding the requirements of the law. To the extent there is any inconsistency, the language of the Levine Act and FPPC Regulations govern over this notice. Resources for officers, parties, participants, and agents, are available on the FPPC’s website at https://www.fppc.ca.gov/learn/pay-to-play-limits-and-prohibitions.html

Report
City Council Meeting: August 27, 2024
Agenda Item: 5.P
1 of 5
To: Mayor and City Council
From: David Martin, Director, Administration
Subject: Adoption of Resolution of Intention to Amend the Municipal Code to Increase the Maximum Allowed Height of Fences, Walls, and Hedges in the Front Setbacks of R2, R3, and R4 Zoning Districts and to Address the Rules for Measuring the Heights of Fences, Walls, and Hedges Located on Top of Retaining Walls
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Adopt a finding of no possibility of significant effect pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.

2. Adopt a Resolution declaring its intention to amend the Municipal Code to increase the maximum allowed height of fences, walls, and hedges in the front setbacks of R2, R3, and R4 zoning districts and to address the rules for measuring the heights of fences, walls, and hedges located on top of retaining walls.

Summary
On June 25, 2024 City Council directed staff, per Item 16-C, to return with amendments to the Municipal Code to allow in the R2, R3, and R4 zoning districts front fence, wall, and hedge heights up to 72 inches in height in the front setback, to address measurements that may include retaining walls. Council also directed staff to suspend enforcement and processing of pending fence, wall, and hedge applications in the R2, R3, and R4 zones until the ordinance becomes effective in R2, R3, and R4 zones for those that would comply with that standard.

On August 7, 2024, the Planning Commission considered and failed to adopt a Resolution of Intention to consider amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to increase

5.P
Packet Pg. 923
2 of 5
the maximum allowed height of fences, walls, and hedges in the front setbacks of R2, R3, and R4 zoning districts to a maximum height of 72 inches and to address the rules for measuring the heights of fences, walls, and hedges located on top of retaining walls.

Pursuant to Santa Monica Municipal Code (SMMC) Section 9.46.030, the City Council can also initiate the Zoning Ordinance text amendment through adoption of a Resolution of Intention. Resolutions of Intention are a required step in the process to provide a formal public notice that amendments to the Zoning Ordinance will be considered at a future meeting. If Council adopts the attached Resolution of Intention, the process still requires that the Planning Commission consider the proposed amendments and make their formal recommendation to the City Council. The Council will then consider the Planning Commission’s recommendation on the proposed amendments at a future hearing.

Discussion
Currently the Zoning Ordinance allows fence, wall, and hedge heights up to 42 inches in the front setback within all zoning districts except the Downtown Community Plan Area with the option to apply for a discretionary height modification should additional height be requested pursuant to Santa Monica Municipal Code (SMMC) Sections

9.21.050(A)(1) and 9.43.050(B).

Pursuant to SMMC Section 9.04.050(D), the height of any fence, wall, or hedge shall be measured from the lowest finished grade adjacent to either side of the fence, wall, or hedge. The height shall be measured in a continuum at each point along the fence, wall, or hedge. In the case of fences, walls, or hedges that are parallel to and within 5 feet of a public sidewalk or other public way, grade shall be the elevation of the closest point on the sidewalk or public way.

The height of a fence that is on top of a retaining wall is measured from the lowest existing grade point within a 3-foot radius of any point on such fence to the highest point of the fence on the highest side of the wall. Any fence or railing required to comply with minimum height in applicable Building Code requirements is permitted.

On June 25, 2024, in response to concerns raised related to protecting privacy and private spaces in the City’s R2, R3 and R4 zones due to the development volume in those districts as a result of changes in State law that allows for greater density, Council directed staff to return with amendments to the Municipal Code to increase the maximum height limit of fences, walls, and hedges in the front setbacks of the R2, R3, and R4 zoning districts to a limit of 72 inches. The direction did not include other zoning districts nor the fence, wall, and hedge height limits in side and rear setbacks.

Additionally, Council directed staff to address how retaining walls are measured and potentially explore not including retaining walls towards the measurement of maximum permitted fence, wall, hedge heights.

The Planning Commission did not adopt a Resolution of Intention at their August 7, 2024 meeting. However, pursuant to SMMC Section 9.46.030, Council can also initiate a Zoning Amendment process by adopting the attached resolution.

The attached Resolution of Intention represents the formal commencement of the process for the Planning Commission to consider recommending to the City Council amendments to the Municipal Code to increase the maximum allowed height of fences, walls, and hedges in the front setbacks of R2, R3, and R4 zoning districts to a maximum height of 72 inches and to address the rules for measuring the heights of fences, walls, and hedges located on top of retaining walls. The resolution does not represent any specific recommendations by staff or predict any final decisions by the City Council.

Instead, this resolution signifies the beginning of the formal process of a Zoning Text Amendment which requires that the Planning Commission make a recommendation to the City Council on the proposed changes. The Council will then hold a final public hearing on the proposed amendments. Following approval of the Resolution of Intention, formal Planning Commission consideration of these amendment is tentatively scheduled to occur on September 4, 2024, with City Council consideration to follow.

suspend enforcement and pending applications until the
ordinance becomes effective in R2, R3, and R4 for those that would comply with that standard.

Environmental Status
This Resolution of Intention is the formal initiation of the process to consider permanent amendments to the Zoning Ordinance in accordance with the formal procedures of the SMMC and as such, is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines which states that CEQA does not apply “where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” The resolution of intention is a required step that is administrative in nature. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.

Financial Impacts and Budget Actions
There is no immediate financial impact or budget action necessary as a result of the recommended action.

EXTERNAL
Dear Mayor Brock, Mayor Pro Tem Negrete and Councilmembers:

Please remove Item 5P from the Consent Calendar and direct Planning staff, the SMPD and other relevant City staff to return with security measures that provide alternatives to the proposed six foot fences, walls and hedges on the front property lines in R2,R3 and R4 Districts. I am speaking as a resident but did participate in the August 6 Planning Commission meeting at which this Resolution of Intention was unanimously rejected. I encourage you to read the letter and materials that Commissioner Fresco emailed you today. The insights from the Vallejo Police Department could provide guidance.

My opposition to allowing six foot fences, walls and hedges on the front yard property line is based on the following:

1. It sends the message that Santa Monica is an unsafe community, and that no security alternatives exist other than walling ourselves off from each other. It demonstrates the "broken window" principle by telling people that we are not able to support a thriving, healthy city because of the fear of crime among some of us.

2. It undermines the sense of community among neighbors.

3. It is a sledge hammer approach to dealing with code enforcement issues.

4. It is my understanding that residential intruders generally enter a property from the back if an alley exists. That has been my personal experience.

5. The Planning Commission has been told for years that walled-in properties present a danger to police officers entering a property without knowing what they will encounter in the front yard.

6. It is misguided to consider six foot barriers as a mitigation against density. Frankly, I have no idea how this thinking got traction at all other than "us/them" fears.

Basing the City's urban design standards on the Fort Apache Mode directly contradicts Santa Monica's principles of inclusion, a strong sense of community and identity, and a desirable and welcoming place for people to live, work, and spend leisure time. Please do not proceed with Item 5P.

Thank you for your consideration.

Dear City Council,
Please remove item 5P from the Consent Calendar and revise the ROI to be more broad. Let planners come up with a better safer solution to Santa Monica’s Fence Wall and Hedge issues.

This proposal is trying to solve a compliance problem with an ordinance solution that will make our city less safe, less attractive, and less friendly. Better standards for retaining walls will solve the greater part of compliance problems without the need for costly variances. For the rest, a new, complaint 42” front yard fence on a 50-foot parcel does not have to be very expensive. A very small fund could subsidize many, many people for whom compliance is a hardship. Or let your planning staff and the planning commission come up with other kinds of work arounds.

Furthermore, I don’t understand the need for privacy in front yard setbacks in neighborhoods zoned for multi-unit development where that open space is already shared among multiple tenants. Let’s not do this. Instead we can create an environment where we get to know our neighbors and look out for each other.

Cities all over the world have adopted Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles and put information about it on their public safety websites. The non-profit, International CPTED Association was founded in 1996 to research and develop public policy for crime prevention (https://www.cpted.net/A-brief-history). Today they provide certification programs for architects and law enforcement worldwide. Santa Monica PD officers who do Home Security Assessments on site are trained in CPTED and use CPTED principles when offering recommendations to homeowners about design features that make a home safer against crime.

CPTED principles very clearly and concisely recommend against tall barriers that remove building frontages adjacent from public rights of way from public view. Opaque and semi opaque fences walls and hedges in front yard setbacks adjacent to public sidewalks should not block sightlines to entryways or create shadowy hiding places. People with bad intentions do not want their nefarious activities witnessed. A well-lit yard open to public view and leading to windows and doors with good locks is just too risky for them. It’s a simple principle summed up by the three L’s:

Locks, Lights, and Landscape.

Sidewalks should be visible from as many different vantage points as possible and be well lit at night. Pedestrians are not safe walking unseen between rows of hedges on either side of the road, a condition we are fast approaching on many Santa Monica streets.

An excellent brochure published by the City of Vallejo, California, which I’m told many other California cities have also published a version of, is especially clear because it includes real-life examples and diagrams showing why certain conditions aren't safe and how places look and function safely once the principles are applied. Click here to download or find it attached below. I hope Santa Monica will make its own CPTED brochure sometime soon.

I would argue that FWH heights of six feet in our city doesn’t actually qualify as a legal text amendment according to the findings in 9.46 for amending the zoning ordinance because those heights promote crime and are therefore contrary to the goals of public health, safety, and general welfare.

A highly unusual Planning Commission vote against adoption of the ROI, an unwillingness to even discuss the possibility of allowing front yard fences, walls, and hedges to be 6,’ should send a very strong message to you about the inadvisability of this idea.

Let’s regulate to achieve safe urban design that helps our citizens build community and take care of each other. Please adjust the ROI to be more broad so planners and the Planning Commission can advise you on how to handle this based on the best information available for a better Santa Monica.

4 The theory and guidelines of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), pronounced ‘sep-ted’, were first created in the 1960s; and like everything else, it evolved into what it is today. CPTED is a well-established and well-researched field of crime prevention utilized internationally. It has proven methods that increase the responsible, positive use of property while decreasing the likelihood of criminal behavior.
‘“Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design” (CPTED) is a pro-active crime prevention philosophy based on the theory that proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in crime and the fear of crime, as well as an improvement in the quality of life for the community, and that it aims to reduce or even remove the opportunity for crime to occur in an environment and promote positive interaction with the space by legitimate users;’
The responsibility for reducing crime and the fear of crime should be shared between the police, local governments, local businesses, the voluntary sector, and the local community. This training document is provided on CPTED principles to everyone involved in the urban planning process to ensure that all participants are aware of their roles and responsibilities in relation to preventing crime and reducing feelings of insecurity within the community.’
At its core, CPTED addresses ‘target hardening’. Sometimes a citizen cannot remove a target. However, you can harden the target. Target hardening involves the use of locks, electronic devices, or other hardware that will detect, deny, delay and deter the criminal away from the intended target.
 Detect – By utilizing good security techniques, you can cause the offender to make noise, which will increase the risk of detection, which may persuade them from not committing the crime.
 Deny – By engraving valuables, using security electronic equipment (GPS enabled devices), increased surveillance, or by moving other valuables out of view.  Delay – Many time crimes are committed because of an easy opportunity. By using good crime prevention techniques, you can increase the time and effort needed to commit the crime.
 Deter – By utilizing the previous three techniques, the citizen may prevent a crime by deterring the crime from the property to an easier target elsewhere.

6 Natural Surveillance is the placement of physical features, activities and people in such a way as to maximize visibility of the community. “To see and be seen.” •Involves design and maintenance elements that ensure full opportunity for residents to engage in their normal behavior and activities to observe the space around them. •Creates an opportunity for the owner/management team to minimize the opportunity for concealment or secrecy by a person intending to commit a criminal act. • Increases visibility with landscaping in conjunction with proper lighting. •Increases the chance of apprehension; therefore, reducing an opportunity for the criminal element
• This is achieved by:
- appropriate and uniformed lighting
- low or see-through fencing / shrubs
- removal / redesign of areas that offer concealment
◦ blind corners
◦ shrubs / trees
◦ walls

Activity Support
Activity Support encourages activity in a location so that individuals become a part of thenatural surroundings, thus creating “natural surveillance.” •An active place that increases the use of the activity space, is enjoyed safely, and adds value to the space, while discouraging actions of non-legitimate users. • This is accomplished with active and passive efforts. - Passive – design elements that make area appealing and safe , such as parks, pools, playground, community rooms
- Active – scheduled events or steps taken to attract users to the area, such as picnics, community and sporting events, concerts, play groups

Routine and preventative maintenance helps ensure CPTED elements serve their intended purpose.
•Allows for the continued use of a space for its intended purpose. • Serves as an additional expression of territorial reinforcement. •Demonstratesthat someone cares and is watching over the property. - Neglected space often results in mistreatment by people - Willingness to call the police in the event of suspicious or criminal activity Examples of Maintenance
• Keep apartments to code standards
• Repair any damaged property
• Remove graffiti
• Replace / upgrade lighting
• Keep trash dumpster areas clean
• Maintain landscaping
• Remove abandoned / illegal vehicles
• Keep grounds free of trash, debris, and hazards
When done on a regular and consistent basis, maintenance can prevent ‘The Broken Window Theory’ or perceived lack of concern from becoming a reality in your community.

Packet Pg. 953 Attachment: Written Comments (6561 : Resolution of Intention to Initiate Amemdments to the Zoning Ordinance for Fences, Walls and Hedges) 20 The Broken Windows Theory
The broken windows theory is a criminological theory that states that visible signs of crime, anti-social behavior, and civil disorder create an urban environment that encourages further crime and disorder, including serious crimes. The theory suggests that policing methods that target minor crimes, such as vandalism, loitering, public drinking, jaywalking and fare evasion, help to create an atmosphere of order and lawfulness.

The theory was introduced in a 1982 article by social scientists James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling.

In short, when we see things broken or dilapidated, it is perceived that no one cares or is looking after it with any sense of ownership; thus, it is okay to further cause damage or violate the area/community without repercussions. This theory is also applied to people. When a person appears “broken” (e.g. an addict, prostitute, homeless, etc.) it is believed no one cares about them, so they, too, are violated without trouble or repercussion. The criminal’s thought is, “Who’s going to stop me or report it?” Crime is more likely to occur in communities with less care, less cleanliness, and less orderliness.

The theory states that maintaining and monitoring environments to prevent small crimes such as graffiti, trespassing, disorderly behavior, criminal damage, theft, and public drinking helps to create an atmosphere of order and lawfulness, thereby preventing more serious crimes from happening.

LIGHTING
44 Lighting is so much more than screwing in a light bulb! Lighting is used for the illumination of human activity and security. Lighting by itself does not prevent crime, but it does provide a sense of safety, the ability to SEE a potential threat, which provides the opportunity of choice. Proper lighting allows a person to clearly see and identify a person’s relevant descriptors, facial features, and various colorsof clothing or objects at 100 feet.

When applied within the CPTED principles, lighting is a great tool for owners, management teams, and residents to control and reduce FEAR, and the opportunity for criminal activity. Proper lighting, in conjunction with “natural surveillance,” is the best application.

Crimes against persons and property are self explanatory, but crimes against society (gambling, prostitution, and drug violations, etc.) represent society’s prohibition against engaging in certain types of activity; they are typically victimless crimes in which persons or property are not the object.

Statistics:
• Most U.S. crimes occur at night (6p-6a):
- Crimes against persons: 52%
- Property crimes: 40%
- Crimes against society: 55%
Purpose:
• Reduce:
- Crimes - Trespassers - Concealment - Lawsuits
• Increase:
- Security - Confidence - Territoriality - Use/Surveillance Item 5-P

Light trespass(pollution)
45 Lighting “Language”:
• Foot-candle (FC) – a unit of illumination that is equivalent to the illumination of one candle at a distance of one foot
• Luminance – light reflected from a surface, otherwise known as brightness • Lumen – measure of the luminous flux emitted by one candle’s intensity (brightness) • Watt – a unit of power
• Uniform lighting – relative or equal luminance over an area • Adaptation – time for the human eye to adjust to lighting change • Light trespass (pollution) – unwanted light that crosses property lines Considerations when planning or retro-fitting lighting:

Lighting should:
• be energy efficient and illuminated during ALL hours of darkness; both are accomplished by using timers or dawn to dusk sensors.
• be vandal and tamper resistant.
• provide uniform and consistent levels of illumination that prevents pockets of shadows or glare where an adult-size person could gain concealment. • illuminate the following:
- Building and door numbers (visible from the street, numbers at least 6” in height) - Dark walls and corners
- All exterior doors
- Pathways
- Parking structures
- Specified and common areas
- Persons or objects at 100 feet
Be certain to replace damaged lighting; and when doing so, consider upgrading to LED and changing the fixtures. (See Tables 2-5)
Maintaining the same style of fixture throughout the community will show Territorial Reinforcement

Direct glare occurs when a
source of brightness is in the
line of vision.

Reflected glare occurs when
brightness from the source is
reflected on a shiny surface that

Report
City Council Meeting: August 27, 2024
Agenda Item: 5.Q
1 of 3
To: Mayor and City Council
From: David Martin, Director, Administration
Subject: Approval of First Modification to License Agreement with Cirque du Soleil Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Adopt a finding of no possibility of significant effect pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a first modification to the License Agreement No.11517 between the City and Cirque du Soleil to provide a rent credit and extend hours of amplified sound for the evening of October 24, 2024.

Summary
On December 12, 2023, Council authorized the City Manager to negotiate and execute a license agreement with Cirque du Soleil to welcome back their iconic big top tent on a portion of Beach Lot 1N, the parking lot north of the Pier, from October 1, 2024 to January 24, 2025. The last time Cirque du Soleil brought its traveling circus to Santa Monica was 10 years prior. The City is excited to host the return of Cirque du Soleil as part of the City’s post-pandemic economic recovery and expansion of community cultural offerings that will benefit the economic wellbeing of the community. To help support their opening success, Cirque needs to make some additional improvements to Lot 1N to accommodate their electrical needs, and has requested that the City allow them to host a premiere event on the site on October 24, 2024, which would necessitate a modification to the license agreement.

5.Q
Packet Pg. 998
2 of 3
Discussion
As part of the site preparation for the show it was determined the electrical equipment which powers the event site and parking lot lights requires replacement prior to the event’s occupancy. The cost for repairs is estimated to be $168,000 including building permits and fees, engineering drawings and project management. This repair will be funded by Cirque du Soleil. Staff seeks authorization to modify the License to provide a $50,000 rent credit to partially offset Cirque’s costs against the site rental fee of $1,544,309. The investment in Lot 1N to improve the electrical equipment will benefit the City and Beach Lot visitor experience and help support future event activations on this site.

Also, the License Agreement between the parties limits the use of amplified sound to 10PM. Cirque du Soleil requests permission to allow amplified sound inside their tent on the night of Thursday, October 24, 2024 until 1:30 AM to coincide with their official premiere show and after-party. Other than this one evening, use of amplification will continue to be limited to 10PM. A neighborhood notice will be sent to residences within a 500 foot radius of the event in advance and will include contact information should there be any concerns. All speakers will be directed away from residences and it is not anticipated that the amplified sound will be audible outside the tent.

Environmental Review
The License Agreement is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15301 exempts Class 1 (Existing Facilities) projects from CEQA, which include the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. The agreement involves the licensing of the existing property located at 1550 Pacific Coast Highway, and would not result in the expansion of this site. Therefore, the agreement is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301.

Additionally, the agreement is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines which states that CEQA does not apply “where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on

the environment.” The proposed modifications of the agreement would not result in a physical environmental effect on the environment, and as such is exempt from CEQA.

CITY OF SANTA MONICA

NOTICE TO APPLICANTS, BIDDERS, PROPOSERS

AND OTHERS SEEKING DISCRETIONARY PERMITS, CONTRACTS, OR OTHER

BENEFITS FROM THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA
Santa Monica’s voters adopted a City Charter amendment commonly known as the Oaks Initiative. It prohibits a public official from receiving specified personal benefits from a person or entity after the official votes, or otherwise takes official action, to award a “public benefit” to that person or entity. Examples of a “public benefit” include public contracts to provide goods or services worth more than $25,000 or a land use approval worth more than $25,000.

The Oaks Initiative requires the City to provide this note and information about the Initiative’s requirements. An information sheet on the Oaks Initiative is attached.

You may obtain a full copy of the Initiative’s text from the City Clerk.

In order to facilitate compliance with the requirements of the Oaks Initiative, the City compiles and maintains certain information. That information includes the name of any person who is seeking a “public benefit.” If the “public benefit” is sought by an entity, rather than an individual person, the information includes the name of every: (a) trustee, (b) director, (c) partner, (d) officers, or (e) ten percent interest in the entity.

Therefore, if you are seeking a “public benefit” covered by the Oaks Initiative, you must supply that information on the attached form (Attachment A).

City Council Meeting: August 27, 2024
Agenda Item: 7.A
1 of 15
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Rick Valte, Public Works Director, Public Works, Office of Sustainability & the Environment
Subject: Santa Monica Beach Dune Restoration Phase 3
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that City Council:

1. Provide direction on project elements such as community outreach/engagement, project scale, placement, and other necessary project elements;

2. Review and comment on the high-level plans set forth for the expansion of Santa Monica’s beach dune network; and

3. Provide direction on the creation of a specific plan related to the SaMo3 project, beach dune master plan or sea level rise mitigation plan.

Executive Summary
As per City Council (Council) authorization on May 24, 2016, the City of Santa Monica (City) entered a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with The Bay Foundation (TBF) to conduct a pilot restoration of a three-acre portion of Santa Monica beach. In December of 2016, the Santa Monica beach dune restoration pilot project was installed and subsequently underwent adaptive management and monitoring until the conclusion of those activities in 2021. The pilot project was successful in demonstrating the potential for low-cost natural solutions, such as beach restoration, to bring significant ecological and resilience benefits to Santa Monica’s coastline.

In January of 2024, the original MOU from the pilot project was amended to include a scope of work for an additional 5-acre expansion of dune restoration south of the existing pilot site on north Santa Monica beach. This Phase 2 (SaMo2) project was

7.A
Packet Pg. 1031
2 of 15
installed in March of 2024 by TBF and will undergo a 5-year monitoring and adaptive management program similar to the pilot project.

To further demonstrate low-cost natural coastal adaptation solutions in the face of climate vulnerabilities such as sea level rise and coastal flooding, staff proposes an expanded beach dune restoration scenario across Santa Monica beach as a Phase 3 of this project (SaMo3). The goal of this study session is to seek Council direction on various details of the proposed scenario, related community/stakeholder outreach efforts and guidance on related planning elements to support the successful implementation of the next phase of this project.

Background
Benefits of Beach Dune Restoration
Santa Monica beach is one of the most heavily used beaches in California, with over 17 million visitors every year. As the last line of defense between the ocean and urban landscape, Santa Monica beach is a uniquely situated resource. Southern California beaches are highly sensitive and are easily impacted by threats such as: native species removal and extinction, erosion, non-natural sediment and sand transport, pollution, and loss of natural structure due to daily vegetation and topsoil removal through grooming and other regular beach maintenance. As a vital buffer, beaches and beach dunes offer protection to homes, roads, and critical infrastructure (bike paths, telephone lines, parks, etc.) from sea level rise as well as natural tidal and wave fluctuations. Natural beach habitats and dune systems regulate sand transport to create resilient beaches, which better adapt to climate change impacts.

Santa Monica beach, and other beaches in LA County/Southern California, have been subjected to the continuous removal of natural features over many years. Mechanical maintenance, the construction of harbors and breakwaters, coastal infrastructure, piers, and other developments have interrupted physical and biological processes of natural beach and dune ecosystems. To draw more tourists to Santa Monica beach, grooming was implemented long ago to create bigger, flatter, more aesthetic beaches. Santa Monica grooms its beaches more frequently than many other beaches throughout the

7.A
Packet Pg. 1032
3 of 15
state to maintain this aesthetic and remove debris. On the other hand, ungroomed beaches have developed natural features such as low dunes away from active recreations areas. These features not only support native, endemic species of plants and animals, they also provide a natural, cost-effective buffer to storm surges and other predictable threats, including sea level rise and increased erosion.

Southern California beaches, such as Santa Monica beach, provide habitat for many birds and animal species, including federally-designated “critical habitat” for the threatened Western Snowy Plover. In addition to providing habitat for birds and animals, coastal strand ecosystems have diverse native vegetation communities and provide a vital habitat for invertebrate species. The current condition of Santa Monica beach’s groomed and flattened sand with removed vegetation provides almost no habitat value for these species. Without vegetation, erosion is more frequent and there is no system in place to promote sand build-up.

Aerial rendering of Santa Monica Beach Restoration Pilot The pilot project restored approximately three acres of sandy coastal habitats located on the beaches of Santa Monica by utilizing existing sediments to transform a portion of the current beach into a sustainable coastal strand and foredune habitat complex resilient to sea level rise.

In December of 2016, the Santa Monica beach dune restoration pilot was implemented.

This included the installation of fencing and seeding of native coastal strand vegetation species. The project was then physically and biologically monitored over the next 5 years.

In December 2021, TBF released the final Year 5 annual report (Attachment B) for the Santa Monica Beach Restoration Pilot Project summarizing activities and findings from December 2015-October 2021. As stated in the year 5 report on page 1, “The project positively engaged the public, created new partnerships and outreach connections, restricted grooming in a 3.25-acre area, allowed vegetation to grow, encouraged sand hummocks (small dunes) to form along fence lines and within the project area, provided

comprehensive science-based monitoring data to inform nature-based beach restoration solutions, and is bringing back a rare coastal habitat type to the Los Angeles region.”
In 2021, TBF secured funding from the Refugio Beach Oil Spill Settlement through the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to pursue an additional beach restoration project in Santa Monica (SaMo2). This project builds on the pilot project by restoring an additional 5 acres of sandy coastal habitats (Figure 3).

Stakeholder Outreach
Significant public outreach took place to solicit stakeholder feedback on various elements during the project development stage of both the pilot project and SaMo2.

During phase 1 (pilot project) stakeholder outreach, members of the public, as well as key stakeholder organizations had multiple opportunities to provide feedback on the project and suggested changes that were included in the design. Since its completion in 2021, the project has been featured in scientific articles and in the press. Most notably, Johnston et al. 2023 (Using Dune Restoration on an Urban Beach as a Coastal Resilience Approach) was published in Frontiers in Marine Science in July of 2023 and was featured in the USCB Current newspaper. In October 2023, the LA Times wrote an op-ed highlighting the importance of natural coastal restoration efforts.

In 2022 and 2023, the SaMo2 project entered the planning, design and permitting phase. Like the pilot project, multiple public meetings were held to gather input from organizational and residential stakeholders.

In January of 2024, the previously approved MOU from the pilot project was amended as a Contractual Services Agreement to include the Scope of Work for the SaMo2

7.A
Packet Pg. 1037

project (Attachment C). This agreement terminates in 2027, with 5 one-year renewal options. In early 2024, an updated Coastal Development Permit application was submitted by the City of Santa Monica to the California Coastal Commission (CCC). In addition, the Commission on Sustainability, the Environment and Environmental Justice provided a letter of support for the project to the CCC (Attachment D). The project was listed on the March 2024 CCC meeting agenda as an immaterial amendment and was unanimously approved by the CCC. The project was then installed by the Bay Foundation on March 14th.

The pilot project has served as a valuable proof of concept for scalable, low-cost natural solutions to adapt to climate change and associated hazards. The SaMo2 project is expected to deliver similar results over the next 5 years. In addition to being the first line of defense for the coast, the public benefits of these projects include beautifying the developed coastline, educating the public about the importance of natural landscapes, and promoting tourism based on environmental values. Perhaps most importantly, these projects have served as examples of strategies that balance priorities of both climate action/adaptation and public recreational use.

It is certain that Santa Monica and other coastal cities in California will experience some degree of sea level rise and coastal flooding. To protect the coastline, while delivering additional ecosystem services, staff have determined that scaling beach dune restoration across Santa Monica beach must be prioritized to meet climate goals.

Discussion
Santa Monica’s Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP - 2019) (Attachment E) and Climate Vulnerability Assessment (2017) (Attachment F) both identify coastal sea level rise and flooding as one of Santa Monica’s most substantial climate threats. The CAAP outlines the enhancement of natural systems to prevent coastal flooding as a priority objective. Action CF5 in the CAAP lists beach nourishment and dune creation to allow for these types of projects to take place on beaches within the City. As we move towards the future, the magnitude and frequency of coastal flooding events is expected to increase, with latest guidance suggesting that California may see anywhere from .5 to

7.A
Packet Pg. 1038

1.2 feet (.15 - .36 meters) of sea level rise by 20501. As an adaptive and preventative measure, low-cost natural solutions to improve coastal resilience, such as beach dunes, have become a vital tool to combat vulnerabilities brought by Climate Change.

Project Overview
Based on the success of the 3.25-acre installation of phase 1 in Santa Monica, and the recent installation of 5-acres as ‘SaMo2’, the City of Santa Monica is partnering with The Bay Foundation with the intention of installing an additional 43 acres of coastal sand dunes with California native vegetation on Santa Monica State Beach. The proposed project will consist of a checkerboard-type footprint of smaller polygons, ranging from one to two acres in size, spanning the beach from the border with Will Rogers State Beach to the border with Venice Beach. To balance the need for recreational space and access to the shore with conservation and coastal resilience, some of the polygons will be near the shoreline and the other polygons will form a back dune habitat adjacent to the bike path, parking lots and the upper portions of storm drain outfalls. The project is fully funded by State legislative appropriation to The Bay Foundation, with funds managed by the State Coastal Conservancy. The Bay Foundation will lead development and implementation of the project, while, as the land manager, the City holds authority to make final decisions on project design, placement, stakeholder outreach, coastal permitting, etc.

The Office of Sustainability and the Environment Division of Public Works has been working with TBF to develop a draft site plan option for the SaMo3 project. This expanded dune restoration scenario, as outlined below, will bring significant, longlasting ecological and coastal resilience benefits to the City of Santa Monica. The proposed site plan balances priorities of public recreation and existing use space while maximizing restored area. Staff is seeking Council direction on planning/design components of the restoration scenario listed below.

The work plan for this dune creation project will involve a sequential approach every six months, along 4 areas (10-13 acres/area) of the coastline within City borders. Each phase of this dune project will consist of six components: 1) area delineation and implementation, using a minimalist post-and-rope boundary approach to define polygons and pedestrian pathways and minimal use of sand fencing, followed by the introduction of California native dune vegetation species from a CCC-approved palette with seed and container stock, 2) using standardized and regularly scheduled dune monitoring protocols to measure success and inform adaptive management (supplementing seed and container stock), and regular maintenance, such as weeding and litter removal, 3) community outreach using engaging signage and social media, 4) public engagement by way of regularly scheduled volunteer events for the duration of the grant (2.5yrs) with the possibility of the City extending the volunteer program into the future, 5) educational opportunities for all levels of students, and 6) basic and applied research to improve understanding of dune creation, sand accumulation and the associated dynamism.

Stakeholder Outreach
Extensive outreach will be conducted prior to and through project implementation through a series of meetings, stakeholder workshops, and public field trips. Once feedback is received from stakeholders and Council, adjustments to the final site footprint will be made. A first round of stakeholder meetings is currently ongoing with the public agencies, such as State Parks, LA County Department of Beaches and Harbors, LA County Lifeguards, Santa Monica Police, Santa Monica Public Works staff and local tribes. Also included in this round of stakeholder meetings are other elected officials (neighborhood, County, State, Federal), and organizations, including USC Sea Grant, Surfrider Foundation, State and local chapters of Audubon, and Heal the Bay. A community handout will be published and distributed to the above stakeholders, describing the importance of sand dunes for coastal resilience and biodiversity, and a map of the proposed footprint.

Once initial stakeholder feedback is received, a second round of outreach will be held, which will be specifically for community members, business owners and other users of

7.A
Packet Pg. 1040

the Santa Monica beach in the broader Los Angeles vicinity. This will be held in-person in a local, accessible location and virtually to maximize outreach to the public. In both settings, a slide show demonstrating the benefits, with photos of successful Santa Monica dunes and the footprint, with renderings for scale and color, will be presented.

Further, an online comment period will be conducted to provide community members with the opportunity to contribute to this stage of the project.

Ultimately, the final footprint of the project will be adjusted after the input of each of these three rounds of outreach.

Project Benefits
In addition to providing habitat for wildlife and beautifying beaches, dune systems accumulate and sequester sand as plants mature, resulting in structures that are resistant to erosion. The erosive threats of sea level rise and intensifying storms leave mechanically groomed beaches vulnerable to erosion. Dune vegetation builds dunes that resist such erosive forces with a remarkable resilience. The vegetation in the dunes at the forefront of phase 1 of the dunes project, namely saltbush (Atriplex leucophylla, Amaranthaceae), have exhibited post-disturbance recovery accompanied by sand replacement. As such, with the development of the smaller “embryo” dunes coupled with the increased elevation of the foredunes, the natural “softscape” of sand dunes will greatly improve coastal resilience, and the long-term benefits of habitat availability to coastal wildlife, including for sensitive species. Dunes will also create a natural buffer between the ocean and beachfront homes and municipal infrastructure.

The proposed project will increase biodiversity by installing California native coastal dune vegetation, from a previously approved species palette to an otherwise highly disturbed sandy beach. While none of the species on the plant palette are special-status plants, the coastal dune vegetation of southern California is among the rarest in the region. After installing the perimeter of the dunes and during the stormy season, natural driftwood and seashells will be placed into the restoration areas. The driftwood would add natural character to the site, contribute to sand accumulation and dune formation, and provide microhabitats for additional wildlife.

Substantial increases in the diversity of native flora and fauna are expected. This coastal dune plant community would attract a wide array of additional wildlife, from invertebrates such as spiders, beetles, and butterflies to the potential for the California legless lizard, and birds, several of which are species of interest. Nesting shorebirds, such as the western Snowy Plover and the California Least Tern, will benefit by the increase in protected roosting and nesting sites, and in the back dune restoration areas, with the addition of sea cliff buckwheat the host plant for the federally endangered El Segundo Blue butterfly will be provided.

SaMo3 Site Plan (Figures 4a & 4b): The proposed footprint has a total of 43 acres and strikes a balance between shoreline and back beach restoration zones. This scenario offers both benefits of maximized shoreline protection, shoreline access, storm drain beautification, and wildlife considerations, while leaving plenty of recreational space and maintaining existing resources, such as volleyball courts and permitted use sites. For all maps, peak summer umbrella density was used as an overlay and beach parking lot visitation is color coded for total occupancy during peak summer months. The maps also display existing permitted beach use and sports areas, ensuring that these locations are not impacted. The hatched area north of the Santa Monica Pier adjacent to lot 1550 is subject to further updates pending Olympic volleyball planning. On the south side of the pier, the area near Barnard way features four polygons with pathways representing North, South, East and West.

7.A
Packet Pg. 1043

On the westward facing edges of each shoreline polygon, it is important to consider that these areas will not be fenced, and that the area in between the ocean and west edges of polygons will maintain existing use as recreational space. This scenario considers the need for restoring portions of the beach, while adjusting for heavily used beach recreation areas and leaving them open for public enjoyment. Project-specific benefits include:
• Protection for bird species, including the Western Snowy Plover • Beautified bike path area protected from sand accumulation • Sufficient spacing for emergency vehicles and beach maintenance teams • Designated areas for interpretive experiences for the public • Maximized shoreline recreation space and access from key points such as parking areas and walkways including ADA access
Environmental Review
The Phase 3 Dunes Restoration Project is statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 21080.56 of the Public Resources Code, which exempts a project to restore or provide habitat for California native fish and wildlife meeting certain requirements. On June 20, 2024, the City submitted a concurrence request to the Director of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080.56, subdivision (e). The request seeks the CDFW Director's concurrence with the City’s determination on June 20, 2024, that the Project meets certain qualifying criteria set forth in Section 21080.56 of the Public Resources Code.

On August 2, 2024, the CDFW Director concurred with the City’s determination that the Project meets the qualifying criteria set forth in Public Resources Code section 21080.56, subdivisions (a) to (d), inclusive (Concurrence). Specifically, the CDFW Director concurred with the City that the Project meets all of the following conditions: (1) the Project is exclusively to conserve, restore, protect, or enhance, and assist in the recovery of California native fish and wildlife, and the habitat upon which they depend; or is exclusively to restore or provide habitat for California native fish and wildlife; (2) the

7.A
Packet Pg. 1044

Agenda Item: 3.K
1 of 5
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Dean Kubani, Sustainability Manager, Office of Sustainability & the Environment
Subject: Memorandum Of Understanding for Beach Dune Restoration Pilot Project Recommended Action
Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate and enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with The Bay Foundation to conduct a pilot restoration of a three acre portion of Santa Monica State Beach.

Executive Summary
The Bay Foundation is proposing to complete a pilot project involving the passive restoration of a three acre portion of Santa Monica Beach with the intent to restore native plant and animal species and demonstrate a low-cost, natural approach to address future sea level rise and coastal flooding related to climate change. This project would be fully funded and implemented by The Bay Foundation with guidance provided by City staff. The Memorandum of Understanding (Attachment 1) outlines the terms and conditions that The Bay Foundation would need to meet in order to proceed with the project. There is no financial or budgetary impact to the City from entering into the Memorandum of Understanding with The Bay Foundation.

Background
Over 17 million visitors frequent the beaches of Santa Monica every year. Southern California beach systems and associated wildlife are highly impacted by threats, including native species extirpation and extinction, erosion, non-natural sediment and sand transport through mechanical means, pollution, and loss of natural morphology due to daily vegetation and top soil removal through grooming and other regular maintenance. However, these systems also offer essentially the last line of defense in terms of natural “softscape” protection. As a vital part of the coastline, beaches and dunes support and protect homes, roads, and infrastructure, providing a natural buffer from sea level rise (SLR) as well as from tidal and wave action from the ocean. Beach habitats and dunes are critical in managing sand transport to create resilient beach morphologies, which naturally adapt to climate change impacts.

Since the 1960s, beaches in the Los Angeles area, including Santa Monica State Beach, have been subjected to the continuous removal of natural features. Mechanical maintenance of beaches has significant impacts on the physical and biological

7.A.a
Packet Pg. 1046 Attachment: Staff Report MOU for Beach Dune Restoration Pilot Project (1) (6227 : Santa Monica Beach Dune Restoration Phase 3 (30 min)) 2 of 5
processes of natural beach and dune ecosystems. Over much of the state, and in many parts of the country, beaches are not frequently groomed, but are instead allowed to develop natural features such as low dunes away from active recreation areas. These features not only support native, and in many cases, rare and endemic species of plants and animals, they also provide a cost-effective buffer to storm surges and other regular, predictable threats, including SLR and increased erosion.

In addition to providing habitat for birds and other animals, including federallydesignated “critical habitat” for the threatened western snowy plover, coastal strand habitats have a varied native vegetation community and provide a vital habitat for invertebrate species. Thus, the current condition of groomed and flattened sand with vegetation removed provides almost no habitat value and removes all of the ecosystem services. Without vegetation, erosion is more frequent and there is nothing to trap winddriven transport of sand.

Discussion
The Bay Foundation (TBF), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in 1990 to restore and enhance Santa Monica Bay and local coastal waters, approached the City of Santa Monica with a proposal to develop a pilot beach dune restoration project to achieve goals of restoring native plant and animal species and demonstrating a low-cost, natural approach to address future sea level rise and coastal flooding related to climate change.

Staff determined that conducting a pilot project on a portion of Santa Monica’s beach could benefit the City by providing a more sheltered habitat for the threatened western snowy plover population that annually winters on Santa Monica’s beaches, and by evaluating a possible model for mitigating impacts of future sea level rise along the city’s coastline. The project would also result in a publicly-accessible natural habitat area on Santa Monica Beach that would provide opportunities for bird watching, science education and passive recreation activities. TBF has obtained support for the pilot project from the California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR), Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission, University of California, Santa Barbara, Loyola Marymount University, Audubon Society, California Native Plant Society, Heal the Bay, Friends of Ballona Wetlands, several elected officials, and additional expert scientists.

The preferred site for the pilot project is a single contiguous three acre zone of beach located adjacent to the northern City boundary, between the high tide line and the beach bike path and just north of the Annenberg Community Beach House (Attachment 2). This pilot project would involve utilization of existing sediments to passively restore and transform a portion of the current beach into a sustainable coastal strand and foredune habitat complex which would be resilient to sea level rise. It would involve installation of sand fencing around the perimeter of the site and hand seeding of four species of native dune plant species throughout the area. After seeding and planting vegetation, sandy coastal strand habitats and plant hummocks would develop, which

7.A.a
Packet Pg. 1047 Attachment: Staff Report MOU for Beach Dune Restoration Pilot Project (1) (6227 : Santa Monica Beach Dune Restoration Phase 3 (30 min)) 3 of 5
would then begin to support invertebrates and birds. As the vegetation grows it would begin trapping sand transported by wind, naturally increasing the elevation of plant hummocks over time to an estimated height of 2-3 feet. Because beach dunes accrete sediment transported from the ocean they would continue to grow concurrently with rising sea levels. This dynamic process can continue as long as the vegetation community is robust and healthy. This process has repeatedly been demonstrated in pilot projects in other California counties, such as the Surfer’s Point restoration project in Ventura County. Future restored conditions would include no mechanized raking or flattening of the sand and removal of vegetation, however the site would continue to be accessible to the public via pathways and from the shoreline.

All funding for the project for fencing, signage, seeds and plant materials and other project expenses would be provided by TBF. Permitting, implementation, and postrestoration maintenance and monitoring would also be coordinated and conducted by TBF. TBF would consult with the City of Santa Monica on all project logistics, design and implementation and would not proceed without City approval. TBF would implement a biological, physical, and social monitoring plan before the restoration to collect baseline data, for the duration of the restoration project, and several years afterwards to assess success. Additional “control” data along the adjacent unrestored beach would be collected as part of a before-after-control-impact ecological assessment monitoring program. Data would be collected for up to ten years to evaluate the ecological health of the created coastal strand ecosystem and its potential for long-term adaptation to accelerated rates of sea level rise. Funding for monitoring and maintenance will also be provided by TBF.

Public Outreach
TBF has met with members of the Beach Club, which is directly adjacent to the proposed project site to discuss the project and identify any potential concerns. At that meeting the Beach Club did not identify any significant concerns with the proposed project and expressed general support for it moving ahead. TBF also hosted a public meeting at the Annenberg Community Beach House on April 27, 2016, to which property owners and residents along Pacific Coast Highway, between the project site and the Santa Monica Pier, were invited. Eighteen people including local residents, members of the Audubon Society, Heal the Bay, and other stakeholder groups attended the meeting. Questions and discussion focused on the location of the pilot, accessibility of the site to the public, the types of fencing to be used, and the maintenance and monitoring of the site. No significant concerns were raised regarding the proposed project.

This pilot project has the support of adjacent property owners and other stakeholders and would benefit the City of Santa Monica by restoring native plant and animal

species, demonstrating a low-cost, natural approach to address future sea level rise and coastal flooding related to climate change, and providing a publicly-accessible natural habitat on Santa Monica Beach.

Environmental Analysis
Section 15333 of CEQA Guidelines provides (Class 33) exemption for the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of habitat (no greater than 5 acres) for fish, plants, or wildlife provided that:
1) There would be no significant adverse impact on endangered, rare, or threatened species or their habitat
2) There are no hazardous materials at or around the project site that may be disturbed or removed, and
3) The project will not result in impacts that are significant when viewed in connection with the effects of past, current, or probable future projects The project consists of the utilization of existing sediments to passively restore and transform approximately 3 acres of the current beach into a sustainable coastal strand and dune habitat complex which would be resilient to sea level rise. The project would result in a beneficial impact on wildlife and would not result in the disturbance or removal of hazardous materials at the site. Furthermore, the project will not result signification impacts in combination with other projects. Therefore, this project is a Class 33 project that is categorically exempt per Section 15333 of the CEQA Guidelines.

Financial Impacts and Budget Actions
There is no immediate financial impact or budget action necessary as a result of the recommended action.

This confirmed nest was the first one in the Los Angeles region in almost 70 years. Local, state, and federal agencies were all immediately notified along with the Santa Monica Audubon Society, an important local stakeholder group who have conducted bird surveys in Los Angeles for many decades and who maintain the plover enclosure on the southern portion of Santa Monica Beach. On 24 April 2017, US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), who have jurisdiction over federally threatened species, several ornithologists, and TBF installed a mini-enclosure over the nest and confirmed the presence of three eggs. After the mini-enclosure was installed, the male plover immediately returned to the nest (Figure 28).

Unfortunately, over subsequent weeks, extremely high winds buried the nest, which was subsequently abandoned. While plovers were identified within the restoration area in the breeding season in 2018- 2020, no subsequent nesting attempts were made (Figure 28.). Signs were posted around the perimeter of the site notifying the public of possible nesting. Crows and dogs have occasionally been observed and could potentially deter plovers and other shorebirds from using and nesting in the site.........................37 Figure 28.

1 Executive Summary
This report summarizes activities for the Santa Monica Beach Restoration Pilot Project from December 2015 through October 2021. The restoration was implemented in two phases over the course of two weeks in December 2016 including the installation of fencing and seeding of native coastal strand vegetation species. For details on the implementation efforts and prior monitoring, please reference prior reports (Johnston et al. 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020). Post-restoration physical and biological monitoring has occurred since 2016 and is completed based on permit requirements and included in this Year 5 Report. As the project was meant to be an experimental pilot for the region, no specific, quantifiable success criteria were set; however, the project can be evaluated against its ability to meet the project goals. The project positively engaged the public, created new partnerships and outreach connections, restricted grooming in an approximately 3-acre area, allowed vegetation to grow, encouraged sand hummocks to form along fence lines and within the project area, provided comprehensive science-based monitoring data to inform nature-based beach restoration solutions, and is bringing back a rare coastal habitat type to the Los Angeles region.

Additionally, the increased functions within the restoration habitat area included benefits to several notable species. Nesting of the federally threatened western snowy plover had not been recorded in the Los Angeles region for almost 70 years, and the first nest for the Los Angeles region was found in April 2017 within the restoration area and contained three eggs. Plovers have been repeatedly identified within and adjacent to the project area throughout all five years, where previously they had not been documented on site. Furthermore, a new native plant species, possibly a rare variant of woolly heads (Nemacaulis denudata), was identified as germinating in the project area in 2017 and was identified in all future years. As the seeds of this species are not sold by the seed provider, it is probable that there was either an existing seed bank for this species already along Santa Monica Beach, or that it was transported by wind, waves, birds, or humans. It was not identified in areas adjacent to the project site.

Another native plant, pink sand verbena (Abronia umbellata) was also identified on site and was not included intentionally by the seed provider. Another biological addition to the restoration project area found in surveys from 2017 through 2021 (but not baseline surveys prior to restoration) were dune beetles, which provided an increased layer of the food web available to foraging birds and wildlife.

Data suggest that the restoration area is considerably different from both the control sites and from itself over time as compared to the baseline surveys, especially for increased vegetation cover and changes in sand morphology. Absolute vegetation cover continues to increase slowly over time, to a maximum in Year 5 of approximately 7% native cover, with patches of dense vegetation interspersed with bare sand, similar to natural coastal strand habitats. Vegetation reaches a maximum of approximately 25% cover adjacent to the fence lines. It is likely that the vegetation community will continue to establish over time, but will probably remain patchy, as is the trend for coastal strand habitats. Elevation data continued to show differences between restoration site transects and controls, with greater topographic complexity and elevation heights in the restoration site. Whereas the groomed control areas were flattened and uniform, the restoration area had small dune hummocks, increases in berm height, and consistent sand retention across seasons and years. Adaptive management in the form of supplemental seeding and fencing is being considered for implementation in future years and will be

2 evaluated as part of a revised adaptive management plan for the application for a Coastal Development Permit amendment to establish the project site as a permanent feature.

The variability of the berm over time and the notable increases in elevation along the fenced perimeters, oceanward berm, and throughout the restoration area surrounding patches of vegetation suggest that longer periods of time for scientific evaluation for these parameters would also allow for additional trends to be defined. If funding is available, future monitoring and research efforts would continue to inform sand topography within the restoration site in response to vegetation growth, fence placement, and seasonal changes.

3 Introduction
Background
Over 17 million visitors frequent the beaches of Santa Monica every year. Beaches are broadly recognized and highly valued as cultural and economic resources for coastal regions (Dugan et al. 2015).

However, their value as ecosystems is often less appreciated. Southern California beach systems and associated wildlife are highly impacted by threats, including native species extirpation and extinction, erosion, non-natural sediment and sand transport through mechanical means, pollution, and loss of natural morphology due to daily vegetation and top soil removal through grooming and other regular maintenance (Dugan et al. 2003). However, these systems also offer essentially the last line of defense in terms of nature-based protection as components of a living shoreline. As a vital part of our coastline, beaches and dunes support and protect our homes, roads, and infrastructure, providing a natural buffer from sea level rise (SLR) as well as from tidal and wave action from the ocean. Beach habitats and dunes are critical in managing sand transport to create resilient beach morphologies, which naturally buffer climate change impacts. By restoring natural processes to impacted beach systems, we improve their ecological and utilitarian functions, and serve as a model for similar projects statewide.

Since the 1960s, beaches in the Los Angeles area have been subjected to the continuous removal of natural features as they begin to develop. Mechanical maintenance of beaches has significant impacts on the physical and biological processes of natural beach and dune ecosystems (Dugan et al. 2003, Dugan and Hubbard 2009, Hubbard et al. 2013). Over much of the state, and in many parts of the country, beaches are not frequently groomed, but are instead allowed to develop natural features, such as low dunes away from active recreation areas. These features not only support native, and in many cases, rare and endemic species of plants and animals, they also provide a cost-effective buffer to storm surges and other regular, predictable threats, including SLR and increased erosion.

In addition to providing habitat for avifauna, including Federally designated “Critical Habitat” (US Fish and Wildlife Service) for the threatened western snowy plover (Charadrius nivosus alexandrius), coastal strand habitats have a varied native vegetation community, including species such as red sand verbena (Abronia maritima), beach evening-primrose (Camissoniopsis cheiranthifolia), and beach saltbush (Atriplex leucophylla), and provide a vital habitat for invertebrate species. Thus, the current condition of groomed and flattened sand with vegetation removed for most of the beaches in Los Angeles and the Santa Monica Bay provides almost no habitat value and removes all of the ecosystem services (Dugan et al. 2003, Hubbard et al. 2013, Gilburn 2012). Without vegetation, erosion is more frequent and there is nothing to trap wind-driven aeolian transport of sand (Nordstrom et al. 2011).

Restored conditions of the beach include no mechanized ‘flattening’ of the sand and removal of vegetation. After seeding and planting vegetation, sandy coastal strand habitats and plant hummocks are forming, which then support higher levels of the ecological community (e.g., invertebrates, birds).

Recent scientific literature highlights the need for ecosystem-level, rather than species-level, beach restoration planning to achieve the greatest ecological benefits (e.g., Schlacher et al. 2008). This project represents one example of that model.

4 Project Goals
This pilot project restored approximately three acres of sandy coastal strand habitat located on the beaches of Santa Monica by utilizing existing sediments to transform a portion of the current beach into a sustainable coastal strand and foredune habitat complex resilient to sea level rise. As an alternative to traditional hardscaping options, this project will continue to evaluate a living, restored shoreline with a diverse wildlife community as an alternate approach to combat climate change (Figure 1).

Another project goal was to assist in bringing back a native, diverse, endemic-rich, coastal plant and wildlife community which has been almost completely extirpated from the Los Angeles region. Enabling the return of broad ecosystem functions will create increased protection for coastal infrastructure and residences from sea level rise and erosion while providing a vital refuge for invertebrates, birds, and rare coastal vegetation species.

This demonstration site will also serve as a model for the region, showing that heavy recreational use of beaches and meaningful habitat restoration are not incompatible goals. It continues to provide not only a scientific basis to develop guidelines and protocols but an integrated, locally-based program for increasing the usefulness of natural environments in a developed area. It also evaluates “soft” low-cost nature-based shore protection from sea-level rise and storms while providing public benefits and enhancing natural resource values. All these benefits are also evaluated in the context of existing recreational uses of the beach.

Additional benefits of healthy beach ecosystems include, but are not limited to:
• Enhancing a developed coastline
• Critical habitat for rare coastal strand vegetation and invertebrate species • Habitat for birds, possibly including the threatened western snowy plover • Familiarizing residents, especially children, with a healthy, natural landscape • Promoting tourism through unique aesthetic and bird watching opportunities • Educational opportunities including native plants and healthy beach management practices • Understanding of a ‘soft-scape’ climate change protection project • Natural shoreline protection through buffering and absorption of wave energy • Sea water filtration and food web support
• Detrital processing and nutrient recycling

5 Project Description
The pilot project of approximately three acres aimed to return a healthy and beautiful ecosystem to Santa Monica State Beach (Figure 2), which in turn, will help evaluate and address climate change issues for both humans and wildlife. This pilot project used low-lying sand fencing and native plant seeds to actively restore approximately two out of three acres of a highly impacted beach system (Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6). The third acre is comprised of the dry and wet sand shore-ward of the project area that remained ungroomed (passive restoration through not raking the sand), and the area immediately adjacent to the perimeter of the sand fence, which also remained ungroomed.

Design aspects feature curved, flowing, low-lying fence lines, a path through the restoration area, and an unenclosed perimeter along the water’s edge – all components requested by various members of the public during the first few months of outreach about the project. Many of these design components were incorporated to minimize disturbance, and even enhance different forms of interactions and recreation along the beach. The site allows visitors to continue to recreate as well as enjoy the local native flora and fauna that are currently absent along the groomed beaches of the Santa Monica Bay.

Specialized coastal strand and foredune vegetation was seeded and continues to grow, develop, and trap sand transported by wind. Wind-driven sand bumps into vegetation, falls, and accretes, naturally increasing the elevation of plant hummocks over time. Additional trapping of sand has occurred through the deployment of sand fencing. Because beach dunes have the potential to accrete sediment transported from the ocean, they could continue to grow concurrently with rising sea levels. This dynamic process can continue as long as the vegetation community remains robust and healthy. This process has repeatedly been demonstrated in the scientific literature as well as in pilot projects in other California counties, such as the Surfer’s Point restoration project in Ventura County.

Pre-restoration monitoring and project implementation began in November and December 2016, and required approximately three weeks, including monitoring. It was followed by post-restoration monitoring for five years. This report details results of the fifth year of monitoring (Year 5). For more information, details, artistic renderings, maps, and links to public documents and photographs, please visit the project website: http://www.santamonicabay.org/santa-monica-beach-restoration-pilot/.

This project would not have been possible without two additional project partners: City of Santa Monica (land managers) and California Department of Parks and Recreation (land owners). We are very grateful for their support and enthusiasm in the implementation of this pilot project. Additionally, we are also grateful for the many proponents and supporters of this project, including but not limited to: Audubon Society – Santa Monica Chapter and Los Angeles Chapter, Loyola Marymount University (LMU), Coastal Research Institute (CRI), University of California Santa Barbara, Cooper Ecological Monitoring, Inc., Coastal Restoration Consultants, Inc., California Native Plant Society, Congress Member Ted Lieu, Assembly Member Richard Bloom, Senator Fran Pavley, Los Angeles World Airports, Friends of Ballona Wetlands, US Fish and Wildlife Service, Heal the Bay, University of Southern California Sea Grant Program, Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission, Santa Monica Bay National Estuary Program, US Environmental Protection Agency, Patagonia, Council Member Paul Koretz, Girl Scout Troop 10975, Friends of LAX Dunes, Studio-MLA, US Green Building Council – LA, beach managers, and many local residents.

9 Public Outreach
Significant public outreach has been conducted as part of this project through meetings, events, tours, social media, newspaper articles, newsletters, and a project webpage (Figure 7). Outreach is ongoing and occurs on-site to beach visitors who have questions and through local media. The ability for the public to interact with, learn from, and benefit from this project are vital project goals.

Members of the public had multiple opportunities to provide feedback about the project, and suggested changes were incorporated into the project design. Public-requested components include, but are not limited to, the curved sand fence, a 3-foot maximum fence height, several of the flowering plant species (e.g., red sand verbena), no fence along the open ocean side of the project, and an extra buffer of open space on the ocean-ward side of the project area to allow for pedestrian traffic and lifeguard vehicle emergency access. Additionally, outreach occurred in advance of the application for permitting from the California Coastal Commission, in accordance with permit conditions for the project. More than 20 public meetings, tours, or media articles occurred for this project prior to its implementation. Since implementation in December 2016, many additional news articles and tours have occurred. Additionally, several television segments have also aired, including on KNBC, KCAL, and KSCI.

Several important outreach components occurred for this project through the development of a website that highlighted artistic renderings, photographs, project information, and additional materials. Perhaps even more importantly from an outreach perspective was the installation of two interpretive signs designed to educate visitors on the importance of recreating natural ecosystems as an approach to combat sea level rise and provide vital habitat for plants and wildlife. Both the artistic renderings and interpretive signs were designed by Studio-MLA. Funding for the signs was provided by the Los Angeles County Supervisor District 3 (Sheila Kuehl’s Office) and City of Santa Monica. The project website and frequently asked questions can be found at the following link:
http://www.santamonicabay.org/explore/beaches-dunes-bluffs/beach-restoration/santa-monicabeach-restoration-pilot/. Selected media links are presented below the outreach photographs. The site is frequently written about in local newspapers, blogs, newsletters, and social media postings.

During Years 1-5 following implementation, The Bay Foundation (TBF) staff presented at Beach Ecology Coalition meetings (Southern California stakeholder group), LA County Beach Commission meetings, and a Southern California Living Shorelines workshop. Additional outreach for the project included presentations with the NOAA Coastal Resiliency Network, 9 th National Summit on Coastal and Estuarine
Restoration and Management (December 2018), serving as a key member of a panel with the City of Santa Monica’s LCP and sea level rise event (15 March 2018), a presentation at the Southern California Academy of Sciences annual meeting (3 May 2019), presentations and a video created as part of the California Dune Science Network (December 2021). Tours aimed to engage the community on the impacts of sea level rise have occurred through the Annenberg Community Beach House, the Santa Monica Bay Audubon Society, CRI, Girl Scouts, and others.

The Girl Scouts tour was intended to be a part of a docent tour program where TBF would give site tours and provide outreach and educational materials to local scout troops, who would in turn give tours to the general public. However, implementation of the docent tour program was postponed due to the

10 COVID-19 pandemic. While COVID-19 prohibited some on-site outreach activities during Years 4 and 5, TBF continued to explore and utilize virtual means of outreach, including presentations at the Adapt LA webinar (June 2020), Los Angeles Regional Collaborative for Climate Action and Sustainability (LARC) virtual meeting (May 2020), and City of Santa Monica’s Sustainability Department meeting (July 2020).

Despite on-site outreach activities being limited through Year 5 due to safety concerns associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, TBF continued to find opportunities to share the project and ongoing monitoring results with the public, as well as to beach managers and coastal scientists in the region. One highlight of Year 5 was sharing the progress of the project and how it has informed other Living Shorelines projects on two podcasts, the Dragonfruit Podcast and the American Shore and Beach Podcast (October 2020). TBF also engaged with stakeholders through presentations at the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association Conference (October 2020 and March 2021), Beach Ecology Coalition meeting (January 2021), Society for Ecological Restoration Conference (June 2021), and National Conference on Ecosystem Restoration (July 2021), and by participating in the Los Angeles Snowy Plover meeting (January 2021). The Santa Monica Beach Pilot project was highlighted by the City of Santa Monica in an October 2020 blog post titled, “Santa Monica’s Natural Dune Restoration Project Celebrates 4 Years”, which described project progress to date. A Los Angeles Times article in August 2021 also highlighted the project as a model for the region and discussed the role of dune restoration in buffering impacts to sea level rise and rebuilding California’s historical coastal dunes. Lastly, TBF continues to promote the project through social media and through classes at LMU.

13 Permitting
TBF, in coordination with the City of Santa Monica (City) and California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR), obtained the necessary permits to implement the Santa Monica Beach Restoration Pilot Project. Approval from the City at a public City Council meeting in the form of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and restoration site plan stamped and approved by the Planning Department was obtained prior to the submittal of a Coastal Development Permit application to the California Coastal Commission (Commission). Additionally, a CEQA exemption was filed and obtained by the City to implement this project.

In October 2016, the Commission approved permit application No. 5-16-0632 with the following special conditions:
1) An assumption of risk, waiver of liability and indemnity; 2) Limited development authorization period;
3) Dune habitat creation plan;
4) Public access requirements; and
5) Permit compliance.

Permit condition 1 included a waiver signed by the City and DPR. Regarding permit condition 2, CDP No. 5-16-0632 authorizes the approved beach restoration project for a period of five years from the date of Commission action. After such time, the authorization for continuation and active management of the dune habitat shall cease, unless the applicants submit an amendment to this permit, or new CDP application to the Commission, and that amendment or permit is approved, thereby extending the time period for the project. The dune habitat created pursuant to the permit may remain in place. The third permit condition was met by the Implementation and Monitoring Plan and the Site Plan. Permit conditions 4 and 5 were met throughout the duration of the project.

Year 5 marks the conclusion of the initial five-year CDP approval period. Following discussions with Coastal Commission, the City, and public stakeholders and interested entities, TBF and the City have opted to establish the site as a permanent feature of the coastline through a CDP amendment. The partners are currently drafting the CDP amendment application and revised adaptive management plan.

Coordination and communications are ongoing with federal and state agencies with an interest in this project, beach management, and/or wildlife (e.g., US Fish and Wildlife Service). All annual reports for this project will be made publicly available on TBF website: www.santamonicabay.org. For details on the implementation of the project in December 2016 and prior years of summary data, please reference the previous reports on TBF’s website.

14 Scientific Monitoring
Accurate and robust scientific monitoring is a vital part of any restoration project. Monitoring is used to assess successful project implementation; for example, in this project, monitoring accretion rates of sand and elevation changes allowed for an assessment of the success of the project in combating sea level rise. TBF implemented a biological, physical, and human use long-term monitoring plan to quantifiably evaluate the project over five years. Additional “control” data were collected along the adjacent unrestored beach as part of a before-after-control-impact ecological assessment monitoring program. Specialist scientists such as ornithologists and invertebrate biologists are partners in this project and contributed their expertise in implementation of the monitoring program. Data was collected for five years to evaluate the ecological health of the created coastal strand ecosystem and its potential for long-term adaptation to accelerated rates of sea level rise.

The development of the monitoring plan was conducted with input from many scientific advisors throughout southern California (details can be found in the “Implementation and Monitoring Plan” document available on the website). Additionally, data were collected to help inform other projects in southern California evaluating nature-based methods of shoreline protection.

Pre-restoration baseline monitoring occurred in December 2016 prior to the implementation of the seeding component of the restoration project to allow a comparison of the pre- and post-project conditions of the area. Post-restoration monitoring occurred beginning in January 2017. Table 1 summarizes the monitoring sampling design that occurred from the time period 1 December 2016 through 17 August 2021. Table 1 lists ten major parameters, the primary protocol(s) implemented for each parameter, and the frequency of implementation. Additional protocols for management efforts such as trash collection, human use, and invasive vegetation removal are described in the Adaptive Management, Maintenance, and Site Use section of the report, below.

16 Wrack Cover
Wrack cover surveys were conducted to determine the percent cover, composition by species, and average depth of macrophyte wrack in the swash zone area directly in front of the restoration site and at a control site (Figure 8). A total of four line-intercept transects were surveyed, consisting of two transects in the swash zone directly in front of the restoration site and two transects in the swash zone of the control areas outside the project area. Wrack was identified to species when possible [e.g., giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera)]. These transects also recorded trash, tar, driftwood, other detritus or terrestrial debris in a similar manner. Wrack cover surveys for Years 1-4 were conducted on 28 December 2016; 14 February, 12 March, 21 June, and 20 September 2017; 11 January, 8 March, 24 May, 15 August, and 16 November 2018; 22 February, 21 May, and 1 August, 6 November 2019; 5 February, and 24 July 2020. Year 5 wrack monitoring surveys were conducted on 8 August and 30 October 2020 and 21 May and 13 August 2021.

During the pre-restoration baseline surveys conducted in December 2016, only giant kelp and surfgrass (Phyllospadix torreyi) were observed and the overall wrack cover was low, with an average wrack cover of 0.06% in both restoration and control transects (Figure 9, top). In post-restoration surveys wrack cover was highly variable across Years 1-5 (2017-2021). Wrack cover included seven species: giant kelp, surfgrass, Sargassum spp., Egregia menziesii, Ulva spp., Gelidium spp., and an unknown red turf algae.

Post-restoration surveys display a pattern of lower wrack cover during the winter surveys and higher wrack cover during the spring through fall surveys, possibly indicating seasonal fluctuations. Wrack cover was consistently low in December through March. This trend continued into Year 4, showing low cover in the winter survey (February 2020) and higher cover in the summer survey (July 2020; Figure 9, top). Timing of peak wrack cover was variable by year but occurred sometime between May and October. Cover between the restoration and control site were also highly variable and remained so through Year 5. Overall, there were not substantial differences in wrack cover observed between restoration and control sites over time (Figure 9, top). Wrack cover may be similar across restoration and control sites because there is no grooming along the restoration transect surveys and control transect surveys are conducted below most grooming activity along the high tide line.

In Years 1-5, overall wrack cover remained relatively low, yet variable, ranging between 0% and 15% (Figure 9). Cover was frequently dominated by giant kelp and surfgrass, but wrack composition was highly variable by survey. During spring (May 2021) and summer (August 2020 and 2021) of Year 5, there was relatively low wrack cover, ranging between 1.3% to 5%, dominated by surf grass (Figure 10, Figure 10). In October of Year 5, there was a substantial increase in the average wrack cover in both the control (33%) and restoration (23%) transects. This increase in wrack cover was driven by a high abundance of a red turf algae, with 32% average cover observed in the control and 20% in the restoration sites (Figure 11, Figure 12). A similar but smaller spike in abundance of the unknown red algae was observed in both restoration and control transects in September 2017 and in the restoration site in August 2018.

Terrestrial debris and trash were variable throughout the surveys (Figure 9, bottom). During the prerestoration baseline surveys conducted in December 2016, there was no trash observed and less than 1% cover of terrestrial debris (e.g., twigs, leaves, feather, other natural debris, etc.) in both restoration and control sites. Terrestrial debris in Years 1-5 was relatively low across all surveys, with a maximum

17 average cover of approximately 23% in the restoration site (January 2018) and range between 0% and 10% for all other surveys. In Year 5, terrestrial debris remained low, with less than 1% observed in all transects. Trash also remained low across all surveys in Year 5, at less than 1% average cover in both the control and restoration sites (Figure 9). This indicates either a lack of trash in the survey areas, or beneficial adaptive management measures such as hand-removal of trash that are shown to be effective at maintaining the restoration and control areas with very low overall trash cover.

Vegetation Cover and Seedling Density
Vegetation cover surveys can be used to provide a wide range of information and data, including summarizing the prevalence of native and non-native plant cover, determining species cover, relative species richness and diversity, and assessing canopy height. The primary objective of the transect- and quadrat-level cover surveys for this project was to assess the approximate cover of native coastal strand vegetation over time. The line-intercept transect and cover class quadrat survey methods are described, along with example field data sheets, in SOP 3.2 Vegetation Cover Surveys (TBF 2015b). Data were evaluated as percent cover by species. Additionally, individual seedlings were counted within randomly selected quadrats as part of the Cover Class Quadrat vegetation cover assessment method semiannually. Data are presented as germinated seedlings per square meter categorized by species and nativity, following assessment procedures described in SOP 3.4 Seed Bank Germination (TBF 2015c), and seedling data are also extrapolated up to the whole restoration area at approximately 6,900 m².

Four vegetation transects were surveyed within the restoration area and compared to two control transects surveyed outside the restoration area (approximately 100 m south of the restoration area).

Vegetation cover surveys were conducted on 13 December 2016; 24 March, 21 June, and 20 September 2017; 11 January, 24 May, 15 August, and 14 December 2018; 22 February, 21 May, 1 August, and 6 November 2019; 5 February, 24 July, 27 August, and 30 October 2020; 21 May, 13 and 17 August 2021.

In addition, two supplemental transects within the restoration area were surveyed on 17 August 2021.

21 These targeted transects were placed off-location of the fixed transects in case there was a trampling effect of vegetation cover on the existing permanent fixed location transects. The transects were parallel to existing transects, with one located approximately two meters south of the northern sand fence boundary, and the second approximately five meters south of the bisectional walking path.

All four of the seeded vegetation species germinated within and immediately adjacent to the restoration area [i.e., beach evening-primrose, red sand verbena, beach bur sage (Ambrosia chamissonis), and beach salt bush (Figure 13). Additionally, three other vegetation species germinated within the project area, two native and one non-native. The two natives were woolly heads and pink sand verbena, and the non-native species was European sea rocket (Cakile maritima) (Figure 14). Neither woolly heads, a native and possibly rare species variant, nor pink sand were in the seed mix as confirmed by the seed provider; thus, it is probable that there was either an existing seed bank for these species already along Santa Monica Beach, or that they were transported by wind, waves, birds, or humans. Combining all transects surveyed in Year 5, the highest proportions of cover were found to be beach evening-primrose and beach saltbush (Figure 15). In all years, sea rocket exhibited the lowest cover of any of the present species and was periodically removed by hand from within the restoration area as an adaptive management maintenance activity, requiring very little effort, and less over time as the seed bank depleted. As Figure 15 displays, the vegetation continues to be represented by multiple species exhibiting seasonal variations (rather than dominated by one or two species), with a more even cover distribution of native vegetation.

Vegetation cover assessed during the baseline (December 2016) surveys within both the restoration area and control site was zero and remained zero at the control site throughout all surveys (Figure 16).

Native vegetation cover was much higher than non-native cover (sea rocket) during all surveys, with zero relative and absolute non-native vegetation in Year 3 and 4 surveys. In Year 5, there was 7% relative and > 0.1% absolute non-native cover in the May 2021 cover, and zero relative and absolute non-native cover in all other Year 5 surveys. Native cover has increased over time, with seasonal variation. Absolute native cover fluctuated in Year 5, remaining between 3-5%. However, supplemental transects surveyed on 17 August 2021 showed native cover to be approximately 7%, the highest cover estimate of the project duration, slightly surpassing the November 2019 survey (Figure 16, top). Vegetation is likely to continue to increase and become more complex over time, though naturally occurring coastal strand habitats also usually have a significant portion of bare sand, even after becoming mature vegetation communities (Figure 17).

Table 2 displays the results of the seedling counts from within the restoration area on the 24 March 2017, 11 January 2018, 22 February 2019, 5 February 2020, 30 October 2020, and 21 May 2021 surveys and extrapolates the results up to the total project area (approximately 6,900 m²) by species. Note that the extrapolated data are based on averages and are thus not likely to represent an exact numerical count for the area but are considered estimates (rounded down to the closest thousand). Surveys conducted but not listed in Table 2 found no seedlings.

The March 2017 survey found more seedlings within the restoration area than the subsequent surveys, since it closely followed the initial vegetation seeding in December 2016 (Figure 18). The latter three surveys are better represented as flowering plants that produced germinated seedlings. The February 2020 survey recorded a low number of seedlings within the surveyed area, though many small juvenile individuals were present, which were too large to be categorized as seedlings. Similar results were seen in both October 2020 and May 2021 surveys. These surveys indicate ongoing natural re-seeding and germination by existing plants occurring throughout the site across the post-restoration survey years, as no additional seeds have been placed on site since December 2016.

29 Vegetation Mapping
Vegetation mapping was a new monitoring parameter added once the vegetation was more established on site. This protocol uses a combination of aerial imagery, high-resolution Trimble GPS, and in-situ observations to delineate polygons depicting species composition. Vegetation mapping protocols are described in more detail in SOP 3.5 Vegetation Mapping (TBF 2015c).

Figure 19 displays the absolute native vegetation cover within the restoration area for the survey conducted on 17 August 2021 (Year 5). The highest absolute native cover (21-25%) was observed along the southern fence perimeter. Both the northern and southern plots display similar cover patterns with high native cover along the fencing perimeters, several large areas with cover in the 11-15% and 16-20% ranges, and the lowest cover (1-5%) in the central and oceanward regions. Only the access pathway displayed 0% cover due to the lack of seeding and the frequent trampling by beachgoers.

Figures 21-22 display absolute cover for the four primary species on site: red sand verbena, beach bur sage, beach evening-primrose, and beach saltbush. All four species were present throughout the majority of the site. Red sand verbena exhibited 1-5% cover throughout most of the site, with several large areas with 6-10% and 11-15% cover (Figure 21 top). No red sand verbena was observed in the oceanward project area. The highest densities (6-10%) of beach bur sage were found along the northern and southern fence lines but was also present in lower amounts (1-5%) throughout most of the rest of the site (Figure 21 bottom). Beach salt bush (Figure 22 top) and beach evening-primrose was present in relatively low amounts (1-5%) most of the site, with slightly higher cover (6-10%) of beach eveningprimrose in the back beach portion of the site (Figure 22 bottom). Low cover of the four primary species throughout the site is consistent with natural coastal strand habitats, which exhibit patchy vegetation with large areas of bare sand.

33 Invertebrates
Invertebrate data were collected using techniques described in detail in Dugan et al. 2015 and led by scientists from Coastal Restoration Consultants, Inc., and the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Common examples of macroinvertebrate indicator taxa in southern California include talitrid amphipods (Megalorchestia spp.), and the common sand crab (Emerita analoga). Invertebrates were surveyed on 28 December 2016, 18 July 2017, 8 March 2018, 15 August 2018, and 7 March 2019 and led by expert beach scientists, David Hubbard and Dr. Jenifer Dugan. Data from the March 2018 and subsequent surveys were not able to be retrieved at the time of publication of this report due to logistical issues and laboratory closures related to COVID-19, but are anticipated to be available in 2022. Year 4 and 5 surveys were also cancelled due to COVID-19, but planned for 2022. Six within-restoration transects were surveyed and compared to data from six control transects located several hundred meters south of the restoration area (Figure 23). Additional sieving of sand adjacent to vegetation patches to assess dune beetle presence occurred on the 8 March 2018 survey. For additional method details, refer to the Santa Monica Beach Restoration Pilot Project Implementation and Monitoring Plan (October 2016).

Figure 23. Photograph of researchers conducting invertebrate core surveys (7 March 2019).

Upper intertidal beach fauna: There is little evidence that upper intertidal beach fauna has responded to the change in management at the pilot project site as of the 2017 samples. There has been little or no contrast between samples at the control site and the demonstration project. The December 2016 baseline surveys indicated low background levels of upper beach invertebrates (e.g., beach hoppers, Megalorchestia minor and M. benedictii) at between 300-400 individuals per meter of shoreline, with similar numbers at the restoration site and the control site. These data are indicative of the frequent beach grooming regime prior to restoration. Analyses of the December 2016 and July 2017 data indicate similar results for both surveys. Further surveys will help assess whether there is divergence between the control site and restoration site over time.

34 Fauna associated with dune vegetation: There has been no significant difference in aerial insects captured on yellow sticky cards to date between control and pilot project sites, during the first two years of project implementation. Subsequent survey data have not been processed due to COVID-19.

Other observations suggest that invertebrates associated with plants are responding to the restoration.

Dune beetles rapidly colonized the pilot project. Dune beetles were not present during the baseline monitoring (December 2016) surveys or in any control areas but were present during the July 2017 surveys and all subsequent surveys; these data indicate that dune beetles colonized post-restoration, an event likely attributable to the presence of new vegetation (Figure 18).

Figure 24. Dune beetle identified on vegetation within the restoration area (5 February 2020).

Avifauna
The presence and distribution of avifauna within an ecosystem is often used as an index of habitat quality due to their diet and vulnerability to environmental conditions (Conway 2008). Avifauna data are useful to characterize representative avian assemblages and spatial distributions within a particular area. Bird survey methods are described in detail, along with field data sheets, in SOP 5.1 Bird Abundance-Activity (TBF 2015d). The primary purpose of avifauna surveys for this project was to provide a general understanding of the bird community and corresponding behavior in the restoration area before and after restoration. Bird surveys were conducted by an ornithologist on 10 December 2016 (baseline, pre-restoration survey); 5 January, 22 February, 18 April, and 24 April 2017; and 13 July 2018.

Subsequent surveys were conducted by TBF staff on 7 March and 28 August 2019; 5 February, 24 July 2020, 27 August, 30 October 2020; and 17 August 2021. All bird data results are combined and reported below, comparing birds found within the restoration area and immediately adjacent to those found several hundred meters away or flying over the area.

35 In Years 1-5, frequently identified species on surveys included gulls and several shorebirds (e.g., willet, Tringa semipalmata) (Table 3). Shorebirds were observed both roosting and foraging within the restoration area, most notably, the federally threatened western snowy plover (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus), which produced the first egg-bearing nest in the Los Angeles region in almost 70 years within the restoration area (discussed further below) in 2017. Plovers were identified foraging in front and throughout the enclosure on multiple occasions. In May 2018, a killdeer (Charadrius vociferous) nested within the restoration site. Several species of gull were also frequently identified in and around the restoration area, flying overhead, and in the adjacent ‘control’ sites. Urban species such as the rock pigeon (Columba livia) were identified primarily in adjacent areas, but not within the restoration site. On the July 2018 survey, an adult and juvenile peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) were observed circling low over the sand inland of the restoration site. In Year 4, an osprey (Pandion haliaetus) and cormorant (Phalacrocorax sp.) were also observed within or adjacent to the restoration area.

During Year 5, many of the same avifauna species were identified as in previous years, including the California brown pelican (Pelacanus occidentalis californicus) and gulls. Birds were within the restoration area, adjacent control areas, and nearshore waters both flying over and foraging. Western snowy plovers (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus) were not observed within site during the Year 5 targeted avian surveys but were observed near and within the site during other on-site activities (Figure 25) and were also identified by project partners roosting on site.

37 Western Snowy Plover
The first four western snowy plovers identified within the restoration area were found roosting during a TBF bird survey on 23 February 2017, two months after the installation of the project. Plovers are known to overwinter in the vicinity (within an enclosure approximately 500 m south of the restoration area) but had not previously been identified using the specific restoration area of the beach. Throughout all surveys, care was taken to avoid disturbance to the birds. The restoration area falls within approximately the middle of the Santa Monica Beach critical habitat area for plovers (Subunit 45A, Figure 29), southwest of San Vicente Boulevard. As migrant plovers may start trying to identify breeding locations as early as March, plovers are carefully monitored throughout the year moving in and out of the restoration area.

Dan Cooper, an ornithologist, detected a nesting plover within the restoration area on 18 April 2017 and confirmed the presence of one egg in a nest scrape containing bits of shells and adjacent debris. This confirmed nest was the first one in the Los Angeles region in almost 70 years. Local, state, and federal agencies were all immediately notified along with the Santa Monica Audubon Society, an important local stakeholder group who have conducted bird surveys in Los Angeles for many decades and who maintain the plover enclosure on the southern portion of Santa Monica Beach. On 24 April 2017, US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), who have jurisdiction over federally threatened species, several ornithologists, and TBF installed a mini-enclosure over the nest and confirmed the presence of three eggs. After the mini-enclosure was installed, the male plover immediately returned to the nest (Figure 28).

Unfortunately, over subsequent weeks, extremely high winds buried the nest, which was subsequently abandoned. While plovers were identified within the restoration area in the breeding season in 2018- 2020, no subsequent nesting attempts were made (Error! Reference source not found.). Signs were posted around the perimeter of the site notifying the public of possible nesting. Crows and dogs have occasionally been observed and could potentially deter plovers and other shorebirds from using and nesting in the site.

39 Grunion and Other Wildlife
California grunion are a species of marine fish found only along the coast of southern California and northern Baja California. They exhibit unique spawning behavior, laying and fertilizing eggs completely out of the water, on high spring tides along sandy beaches (Martin 2006). Grunion spawn between March and August, with peak events between April and June. Grunion and other wildlife such as nearshore dolphins or fish can be indicators of the higher trophic levels of the sandy shore food web.

Grunion surveys were conducted in April and June 2017; March, April, and July 2018; and June 2019. No new surveys were conducted in Year 4 due to COVID-19, though surveys resumed in Year 5. Year 5 surveys were conducted in May and June 2021. Surveys were conducted at night, during peak high tide events and following a full or new moon. Grunion surveys followed standardized regional protocols with some data provided by citizen scientists conducting surveys using the same protocols. Data summaries for surveys not conducted by TBF and LMU’s CRI were provided by Dr. Karen Martin, Pepperdine University, through the community science Grunion Greeter program. In Year 5, grunion surveys were conducted as a part of a CRI student research project investigating the relationship between sand surface temperature and temperature at grunion egg depth. The Grunion Greeter Observation Form was completed during each survey and subsequently entered onto the regional web database at www.grunion.org. The Walker Scale was used as a monitoring metric, which ranges from W-0 to W-5 as shown in Table 4.

In Years 1-3 and Year 5, all reported surveys in the vicinity of the restoration area recorded Walker Scale results of W-0 (Table 5). While no grunion were observed during survey dates, there was evidence that they spawned in the area at least once in June 2018, as eggs were identified within the restoration area (K. Martin, Pepperdine University, pers. obs.). These results are consistent with pre-restoration baseline data from the survey location.

Physical Characteristics
Physical characteristics help to characterize the beach in comparison to other locations (e.g., elevation profiles; Dugan et al. 2015). Additionally, site checks were performed at least quarterly to assess the condition of the fence, collect trash, etc. Specific data for physical characteristics collected and summarized in this report include precipitation, wind, temperature, climate data, elevation profiles, sand deposition, and sand grain size. Supplemental weather data were downloaded from AccuWeather Premium and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Climate Data Online. Weather patterns and climate data collected from external sources are meant to be representative, not indicative of specifics within the restoration area at any given moment in time.

41 Overall, the restoration site exhibited physical differences as compared to control locations and itself over time, primarily through the accretion of sand along the fence line, plant hummocks, and wrack line.

Elevation profiles and high-resolution topographical mapping of both the restoration area and control locations provide information on the change in physical topography over time.

Precipitation
The total rainfall for the wet weather months (October through May of the following year) was 16.32 inches during Year 1, 3.79 inches in Year 2, 16.94 inches in Year 3, 13.14 inches in Year 4, and 5.00 inches in Year 5, as measured by the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) rain gauge (Figure 31). Year 5 had similar rainfall to Year 2 and less rainfall than Years 1, 3, and 4. In Year 5, three out of the eight wet weather months experienced no rainfall. Approximately 97.6% of the total wet season rainfall occurred across three months (December 2020, January 2021, and March 2021), with rainfall ranging between

1.32 to 1.91 inches per month (Figure 31).

Wind and Temperature
Average sand temperature, wind speed, and maximum wind speed (over three minutes) were recorded in both the north and the south plots using a small, hand-held weather meter (Kestrel®) and a Fluke Mini IR Thermometer®. Data were collected on 14 and 28 December 2016; 13 and 25 January, 4, 14, and 23 February, 24 March, 12 April, 21 June, 21 August, and 13 September 2017; 11 January, 8 March, 13 April, 24 May, 15 August, and 12 December 2018; 22 February, 25 April, 21 May, 1 and 28 August, 4 October, and 6 November 2019; 21 January, 5 February, 24 July, and 21 and 27 August 2020; 19 February and 13 August 2021. Note values that are missing from Year 4 were due to technical equipment issues. NOAA climate data follow below.

Air temperature, sand temperature, and wind speeds were all highly variable depending on the specific conditions of survey days. Sunnier days / warmer summer months had higher sand temperatures over 40 °C (August and April, Table 6). The average wind speed recorded at 1.5 m in height ranged from approximately 0.5 to 5.7 m/s with gusts of up to 7.1 m/s. The average wind speed recorded along the ground was lower, ranging lower between 0.5 to 4.2 m/s with gusts of up to 5.0 m/s recorded during surveys (Table 6).

48 Elevation Profiles
Elevation profile data were collected via four transects within the restoration area and two control transects outside the restoration area (approximately 100 m south of the restoration area) (Figure 32).

Elevation profiles provide a method to measure topographical changes within the seeded fenced area and beach face over time. Elevation profile data were collected on 13 December 2016 (baseline); 24 March, 21 June, and 13 September 2017; 13 February, 24 May, 29 May, 15 August, and 14 December 2018; 22 February, 21 May, 1 August, and 6 November 2019; 5 February, 24 July, and 30 October 2020; 21 May and 13 August 2021. Elevation profiles taken over the five years post-project implementation show notable changes from both the baseline and control transects (Figure 33– Figure 44). Figure 33 – Figure 44 are separated into ‘winter beach’ and ‘summer beach’ defined by the highly variable seasonal profile on beaches in Southern California. Data from Control Transect 2 on 24 July 2020 and Transect 3 on 24 August 2020 were removed during quality control checks due to equipment malfunction. Berm topology along the fenced perimeter of the site shows variations over time between the restoration site and control site, with up to a meter of sand deposition present in multiple locations.

All elevation profiles within the restoration area show an overall increase in elevation from the baseline surveys, indicating the deposition and retention of sand within the site. Sand build-up is greatest along the berm, nearest the beach face and ocean, and along the northern and southern fence perimeter. The southeast corner of the restoration area continues to show a high relative buildup of sediment (e.g., Restoration Transect 4, Figure 39 and Figure 40), which can be explained by the predominant wind pattern moving sand in that direction. Survey data show that control sites have shown slight variability over time, with seasonal changes in the berm and beach face, elevation variability, and a generally flat and even beach profile, all likely due to maintenance by grooming. In general, all restoration transects have shown a higher overall increase in elevation compared to control transects. Additionally, restoration transects are also now capturing the formation of plant hummocks across multiple seasons (e.g., at approximately the 40-meter mark along Transects 2, 3, and 4). Future surveys will allow for a continued assessment of sediment movement to support the evaluation of the restoration area as a possible buffer from climate change impacts such as sea level rise and wave erosion, though seasonal changes may also be captured.

55 High-resolution elevation surveys using a Trimble Geo7x GPS were conducted on 12 April 2017 (Year 1), from 24 to 27 June 2018 (Year 2), on 21 August 2020 (Year 4), and 4 June 2021 (Year 5). Elevation points were downloaded, quality control checked, and analyzed in a geographic information system (GIS) to create a topographic surface of the restoration site. Figure 48 displays the topographic map results from the GPS elevation survey in May 2017 (top) and May/June 2018 (bottom) and Figure 49 displays results for Year 5. The Year 5 survey was conducted with higher resolution than previous surveys and all Year 5 data points had a precision of +/- 0.1m (post correction). The Year 5 survey boundary was also extended 2-3 m to capture the dune growth along the exterior of the perimeter fence. Year 4 results were not included due to a lower relative precision of points collected during that survey and a higher equipment error. The topographic data supplement the elevation profile transects and indicate a buildup of sand along the berm and fence perimeter, with smaller plant hummocks throughout the site. The Year 5 survey shows a noticeable increase in elevation throughout most of the restoration area. This is most apparent in the southern portion of the project footprint. Additionally, the micro-topography of the restoration site becomes increasingly more complex across each subsequent survey, which supports visual observations of the formation of dune hummocks around vegetation and wrack within the restoration site (Figure 45 and Figure 46).

Figure 50 and Figure 51 show buildup of sand along the northern fence perimeter in May 2017 and again in February 2020, where an increase of vegetation, especially red sand verbena and beach bur sage are present. Berm changes parallel to the ocean have also been observed in photographic documentation and monitoring data with seasonal variations present. The beach berm ridge is higher in elevation and more prominent in the restoration site. Figure 52 shows a time-series of the berm changes observed post-restoration. The continued rise in elevation of the berm in multiple elevation profiles and supporting topographical surveys indicate promising results that the site is potentially becoming more resilient to coastal flooding than other sections of the beach that retain a low, flat profile. Future surveys will continue to inform changes in the restoration site and berm morphology over time.

63 Sand Deposition, Grain Size, and Organics
A set of baseline and post-restoration sand samples were collected from two control transects and four restoration transects on 13 December 2016 (baseline); 24 March and 13 September 2017; 24 May and 16 November 2018; 3 June and 6 November 2019; and 24 July 2020. Three samples were collected from each transect (approximately 3 meters south of the transect line to avoid footprints), including two dry samples off the 15 and 30 transect meter mark, and a wet sample near the waterline on the beach face.

Samples were weighed before and after drying to measure moisture content, then each sample was sorted using a set of sieves measuring from 2 mm (very fine pebbles) to 0.06 mm (very fine sand). A portion of each sample was also used to analyze organics based on the loss on ignition (LOI) method.

TBF conducts all sediment analyses in a laboratory located on the campus of LMU. Due to COVID-19 regulations and guidelines, TBF did not have access to the lab on LMU’s campus to complete sediment analyses. As a result, no sediment analyses were completed for Years 4 and 5. However, campus restrictions have recently lifted and TBF has begun sorting and prioritizing previously collected samples for analysis.

In Years 1-3 sand within the restoration site varied from pebbles (very fine) to very fine sand (Figure 53).

Small dunes and plant hummocks were observed to form with larger sized sediment at the base of the hummocks and finer grain sizes on top due to wind driven transport (Figure 54). Dry sand samples collected (averaged for 15 and 30 m) saw variable trends between surveys, with a small increase in very coarse sand and pebble percent composition within the restoration area (Figure 55 – Figure 57). The latest survey in November 2019 shows that coarse sand continues to be one of the most dominate grain size types. Visual observation in Years 4 and 5 support these previous findings of grain size distribution (Figure 54).

67 Figure 57 (cont’d from above). Post-restoration sand grain results for all transects (dry sample averages).

Wet sand results were reported separately (Table 9). Results from the wet sand samples were variable between the baseline survey and the post-restoration survey but displayed relatively similar results at both the control transects and the restoration transects. As the wet sand is outside of the area actively maintained for the restoration, the similarity between the control and restoration results for the wet sand was expected. The variability between the baseline and post-restoration surveys is likely due in part to the collection of the samples in two different wet sand locations based on the seasonal movement of the berm and wave erosion. Baseline sand composition, taken December 2016, was dominated by coarse and medium sand grains, and the data indicate an oscillation between medium grains during summer to coarse sand grains in winter season (Table 9). This shift in grain sizes is likely consistent with winter storms eroding the beach face followed by the deposition of sand in the calmer spring and summer months (Figure 58).

Additionally, sand transport and deposition has been occurring along fence lines and around larger vegetation patches and wrack. High resolution elevation surveys confirm an increase in sand deposition along the fences and behind the berm.

A portion of each sediment sample was analyzed for organic matter and carbonate content using the loss on ignition (LOI) method (Figure 59). Samples were placed in weighted crucibles and weight loss was measured after heating the samples in a high-temperature furnace to remove organic matter. Figure 60 compares the average percent organics in dry sediments from the control site and restoration site by survey date. The restoration site shows a slightly higher overall percent organics composition in samples compared to the control site on each survey; however, there are only slight differences from the baseline (pre-restoration, December 2016). Sediments are an important site for organic matter decomposition and nutrient regeneration in coastal marine environments, and continued data collection may inform the effects the beach restoration project has on carbon cycling and transformations.
