City Council from front page
in scenarios such as locating suspects in
residential burglaries. Drone public safety
applications run the gamut from traffic collisions
to hazardous waste incidents. While the
program is not yet operational here, officers
received the necessary training and certifications
and are ready to roll. The City also reached
agreements with LAX and Hawthorne Airport
for air space use permissions.
The City’s Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Consultant Tina Gall came to
the podium for two items. The first asked to
cancel the usual use of annual grant monies
(this year at $53,608) for ADA curb ramps
and instead allocate the funds for parking lot
restriping and signage at various City buildings.
The reason for the change, Gall explained,
is due to engineering issues that make it too
challenging to alter the ramps at this time.
Then for fiscal year 2019/20, Gall asked to
tack on $43,501 in prior unused grant monies
to the estimated $56,584 to come to apply
towards restroom retrofit work at the Joslyn
Center. The Council approved both requests.
Berkman revealed the results of the Downtown
Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Study
that analyzed Main Street from El Segundo
Boulevard to Imperial Avenue, Grand Avenue
from Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) to Loma
Vista Street, and Mariposa Avenue from PCH
to Main Street. Traffic engineering consultant
Garland Associates completed the work that
included speed surveys at three locations on
each of the streets for morning peak period,
mid-day conditions and afternoon peak periods;
pedestrian counts during peak times; analysis
of collision stats; and consideration of possible
safety measures.
Among the conclusions was that set speed
limits (25 mph in all areas except 35 on most
of Grand) “are set appropriately and are enforceable
by the police department” and that
the level of collisions reported (less than five
per year at a single location) do not indicate
a severe safety issue. While no changes will
be required and there is no recommendation to
add stop signs, staff made several recommendations
for safety improvements. Crews already
installed high-visibility ladder crosswalks at
the Main Street/Oak Avenue intersection, on
Grand from Arena Street to Sheldon Street, and
on Mariposa from Main to Eucalyptus Drive.
Solar-lighted pedestrian-activated crosswalk
signage will soon be installed by crews at
the first two locations, while vehicle speed
feedback signs will be installed on the above
portion of Grand as well as on the stretch
between Illinois and Indiana streets.
In another presentation, Michael Schreiber
from the Arts and Culture Advisory Committee
got the Council’s blessing for a feasibility
study to develop a “percent for arts” ordinance
modeled on similar programs in Los
Angeles, Culver City and West Hollywood.
Monies would come from new commercial
developments with some of the stated goals to
artistically enhance already budgeted capital
improvement projects, advocate for weekend art
and culture events to increase hotel occupancy,
create a community identity through public
art, and bolster school and civic organization
involvement in the arts. The proposal will also
consider establishing a City non-profit public
benefit organization.
The Council approved the three-year strategic
plan and associated work plan for 2019 through
2021 that will include expanded development
of key performance indicators. Finance Director
Joe Lillio provided a snapshot of the 2017/18
fourth quarter financial review showing the
City spending under budget mainly due to
continued vacancies, and receiving revenues
as expected with the exception of higher than
estimated gas and electric utility user tax and
franchise tax dollars. In all, the City ended up
$250,000 better than originally anticipated.
Public communications earlier in the meeting
featured comments from both parents and
players involved with the South Bay United
Water Polo Club. Lance Giroux noted that
many of the players and coaches live in El
Segundo and hoped the Council will consider
preferential treatment for the group when
deciding on space and time allotted to teams
at the new Aquatics Center that will open
on Jan. 5. Bonnie Kerker asked for the same
in an emotional plea to the Council, “Think
about who you want in your pool raising your
kids,” she said.
The Council issued its annual proclamation for
the El Segundo Community Christmas Dinner,
a tradition started by the late Old Town Music
Hall co-founder Bill Coffman in 1983. This
year’s event is at noon on Dec. 25 at the Joslyn
Center, with dinner provided by JMW Catering
and sponsored by the El Segundo Kiwanis Club.
Other contributors include the DoubleTree Hotel,
Natural Simplicity, Costco, PCT and various
volunteers with the support of the Recreation
and Parks Department. Two other presentations
introduced the City’s newest employees: Payroll
Accountant Darryl Felder in the Finance
Department, and Recreation Coordinator Devon
Zamora in Recreation and Parks.
During reports, Hensley detailed modifications
to the City’s social media policy as it applies
to Council members and those on committees,
commissions and boards. The stated concern is
to avoid the potential for a Brown Act violation
in Facebook or other posts if the members
discourse on matters under their particular purview.
Amendments to the policy provide more
flexibility by allowing said individuals to post
objectively about items such as meeting dates,
topics to be addressed at those meetings, or
lists of actions taken. Also acceptable are posts
about ceremonial events and direction on whom
to contact at the City for certain information. •
Show kindness to all this Christmas,
it’s the best gift! - Mom

applicants for employment, as set forth in
Executive Order 11246 and 11375.

such election will be at the Contractor
