Summary of Consideration of Adoption
of Ordinance 2210 Amending Chapter
3.20 of the Hawthorne Municipal Code
(“HMC”) Regarding Purchasing System
and Contracts for Public Projects.
Pursuant to Government Code section 36933(c),
the following constitutes a summary of Ordinance
No. 2210, which will be considered for adoption
by the City Council at its regular meeting
on April 13, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. Pursuant to
California Government Code section 36933(c)
(1), the City Council has previously directed the
preparation and publication of a summary of
Ordinance No. 2210 which establishes a system
for the acquisition of property and services, for
the construction of public projects, and for the
disposition of property which, based upon the
circumstances of a particular project, meets
certain objectives.
Ordinance No. 2210 amends Chapter 3.20 of
the Hawthorne Municipal Code by updating and
clarifying the purchasing procedure and setting
limits on the amounts of specific purchase
authorizations. Section 54201 et seq. of the
Government Code requires the City to adopt
policies and procedures, including bidding
regulations, governing the purchase by the
City of supplies and equipment.
The purpose of Chapter 3.20 is to establish
a system for the acquisition of property and
services, for the construction of public projects,
and for the disposition of property which, based
on the circumstances of a particular project,
meets the following goals:
• Obtain the most cost-effective result for the
city and prohibits the waste of public funds.
• Considers all reasonably available relevant
information regarding the range of types,
effectiveness, quality and costs of potential
property, services, public projects and contractors
available to achieve the city’s project goals.
• Guards against favoritism.
• Efficient use of city resources.
The updated and clarified purchasing systems
includes the following:
• A centralized purchasing division (“CPD”) is
created within the finance department, which
is vested with authority for the purchase of
supplies, materials, equipment, and services.
•The CPD shall be overseen by the purchasing
manager (finance director), who will be
authorized to purchase or contract for supplies,
materials, equipment and services in accordance
with this section of the HMC.
• All purchases or contracts for supplies,
materials, equipment or services must be
made through the CPD.
• Purchases of supplies, materials, equipment,
and services shall be made only by a numbered
purchase order (“PO”) issued by the CPD.
• The CPD shall not issue any purchase
order unless there exists an unencumbered
appropriation in the fund account against which
such purchase is to be charged and the PO
has been approved by the Department Head.
• No PO is required for petty cash, subject
to limitations authorized by resolution of the
City Council.
• The City may, when pricing and terms are
favorable, and as a convenience for users,
establish an account with a vendor via a
blanket purchase order.
• Change orders must be documented by
a PO addendum and shall be subject to the
same requirements as a PO.
• Monetary limitations/requirements are as
follows: (1) the purchasing manager may approve
POs for amounts between $5,000 and
$15,000; (2) the city manager may approve
POs between $15,000 and $25,000; and (3)
purchases or contracts above $25,000 require
the approval of the City Council.
• Selection of vendor or service provider are
subject to the following limitations: (1) no special
requirements for purchases less than $5,000;
(2) informal oral or written quotes required for
purchases between $5,000 and $15,000; (3)
quotes from three different vendors required
for purchases between $15,000 and $25,000;
and (4) purchases above $25,000 shall require
adherence to the formal bidding process.
• Exceptions to Bidding & Quotation Requirements:
(1) Purchases less than $15,000 under
specified circumstances such as critical urgent
need and commodity only available through one
vendor; and (2) professional services contract.
• When the formal bidding process is required,
the purchasing manager shall be responsible
for posting notification of solicitation of bids on
the city website, which shall include a general
description of the items to be purchased, where
bid specifications may be secured and the time
and place for the opening of the bids. The
purchasing manager will deem the circumstance
when a bidders’ security or performance bond
is required. The bids shall be confidential
until a tabulation of bids received and open
for inspection. Any resulting contract shall be
awarded by the City Council.
• Informal or formal competitive bidding is not
required when a local emergency or disaster
is proclaimed.
• Cooperative purchasing with other municipalities
to purchase goods and services is an
acceptable practice that allows municipal agencies
to “piggy-back” on contracts for services
and supplied, issued by a wide range of other
governmental agencies.
• The city manager shall have the authority
to sell, exchange, or otherwise dispose of all
unneeded, unsuitable, or obsolete supplies
and equipment, unless the item has a salvage
value of more than $25,000.
• The City maintains a credit card program to
provide a convenient method of making small
purchases and to reduce the need for POs,
expense reimbursements and the use of petty
cash. Such purchases are limited as follows:
(1) a single purchase cannot exceed $5,000;
and (2) the credit card may not be used for
services unless the use is approved in writing
by the city manager and the amount does not
exceed $5,000.
• Contracts for public projects shall be
administered by the city’s director of public
works and shall be awarded in accordance
with the Uniform Public Construction Cost
Accounting Act (“UPCCAA”) and pursuant to
the monetary limits imposed by Public Contract
Code Section 22032.
• Informal Bidding is allowed for public projects
valued at less than $200,000 as specified by
Sections 22032 and 22034 of the UPCCAA
and as amended by the State Legislature or
adjusted by the State Controller pursuant to
Section 22020 of the UPCCAA. However, if
all bids received pursuant to the informal bidding
process are in excess of $200,000, the
city council may, by passage of a resolution of
4/5th vote, award the contract at $212,500 to
the lowest responsible bidder, if it is determined
that the original cost estimate of the city was
reasonable.
Each public contract project for a minor project
less than $60,000 shall be subject to the minor
project requirements. The city shall request
either formal bids, informal bids, qualifications, or
proposals from qualified potential contractors on
the bidders list, or by such other means which,
in the discretion of the city manager, provide
notice of the potential project to a reasonable
number of potential bidders.
The City Council finds and determines that
there is no possibility that the adoption of this
Ordinance will have a significant effect on the
environment. Accordingly, this Ordinance is not
subject to the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15378 of Division 6
of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations
A certified copy of the entirety of the text of Ordinance
No. 2210 is available both on the City’s
website and also in the office of the City Clerk,
4455 West 126th Street, Hawthorne, California,
and is open for public inspection. Pursuant
to Government Code section 36933(c), the
summary Ordinance No. 2210 was published
at least five (5) days before the ordinance will
be considered for adoption on April 13, 2021
at a duly convened regular meeting of the
Hawthorne City Council.

Summary of Consideration of
Adoption of Ordinance 2218 Adding
Chapter 2.64 of the Hawthorne Municipal
Code (“HMC”) Regarding Campaign
Contributions.
Pursuant to Government Code section 36933(c),
the following constitutes a summary of Ordinance
No. 2218, which will be considered for adoption
by the City Council at its regular meeting
on April 13, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. Pursuant to
California Government Code section 36933(c)
(1), the City Council has previously directed the
preparation and publication of a summary of
Ordinance No. 2218 which establishes a cap of
$100,000 on the amount each contributor can
contribute to each candidate during an election.
In 2019, AB 571 became law. This statute,
for the first time, established state law limits on
campaign contributions made to local campaigns
for elective office. Prior to AB 571, the Political
Reform Act imposed a number of reporting
and other requirements upon candidates for
local offices, but imposed contribution limits
only on campaigns for state offices. The
new rules—which limit to $4,900 the amount
that any one contributor can contribute to
any one candidate-- became effective on
January 1, 2021.
Because of constitutional restrictions, the legislature
could not apply these limits to campaign
expenditures a candidate makes from his or her
own money, or to certain types of “independent
expenditures” that are made by third parties
and not coordinated with the candidate. The
state could not create a regulatory framework
to ensure that self-funded campaigns and
independent expenditures would not massively
exceed the amount that could be raised by
candidate subject to the new rule.
The statute permits cities to establish their
own limits for elections to municipal office.
While many cities have new or longstanding
local limits, Hawthorne has never established
a contribution limit. If a city adopts its own
limit, which can be higher or lower than the
state limit, the state law limit does not apply.
The Fair Political Practices Committee will not
enforce the local limit; however all generally
applicable state requirements for disclosure
and transparency continue to apply and to
be enforced by the FPPC.
Ordinance 2018 would establish a $100,000 cap
on the amount each contributor can contribute
to each candidate at an election. Aside from
the locally-specified cap, its provisions track state
law, and do not interfere with other provisions
of law administered by the FPPC with respect
to the City’s election.”
The City Council finds and determines that
there is no possibility that the adoption of this
Ordinance will have a significant effect on the
environment. Accordingly, this Ordinance is not
subject to the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15378 of Division 6
of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations
A certified copy of the entirety of the text of Ordinance
No. 2218 is available both on the City’s
website and also in the office of the City Clerk,
4455 West 126th Street, Hawthorne, California,
and is open for public inspection. Pursuant
to Government Code section 36933(c), the
summary Ordinance No. 2218 was published
at least five (5) days before the ordinance will
be considered for adoption on April 13, 2021
at a duly convened regular meeting of the
Hawthorne City Council.

the following constitutes a summary of Ordinance
No. 2219, which will be considered for adoption
by the City Council at its regular meeting on April
13, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. Pursuant to California
Government Code section 36933(c)(1), the City
Council has previously directed the preparation
and publication of a summary of Ordinance No.
2219 which provides an alternate method of
licensing for Farmers Markets.
Section 9.39.150(A) of the Municipal Code
defines a “Farmers Market” as “a community
event operated by an entity approved by the
California Federation of Certified Farmers
Markets, and devoted primarily to the distribution
and sale of agricultural products, flowers and
plants, prepared food, and items incidental
to food growing and gardening.” Section
9.39.150(A) further provides that, aside from
community booths operated by the City, Los
Angeles County, or school districts serving the
City, a Farmers Market cannot include items
unrelated to agriculture and food, such as
arts, crafts, clothing or antiques, or the sale
or distribution of alcoholic beverages and does
not include flea markets, swap meets, auctions,
open air markets, or other similarly named or
labeled activities. The operator of a Farmers
Market is required to obtain a Community Events
Permit from the City pursuant to Chapter 9.39
of the Municipal Code.
A Farmers Market typically will be open to
customers at most a few hours each week, and
can only operate on the schedule indicated on
its Community Event Permit. Since a Farmers
Market typically includes booths operated
by independent producers and vendors who
conduct business in the City only in conjunction
with the Farmers Market, each of these
participating producers and vendors would
be required to separately obtain a business
license from the City each year. The City
Council desires to create an alternative that
will reduce the administrative burden of this
licensing requirement upon the City and upon
the producers and vendors. Ordinance No.
2219 would add Chapter 5.55 of the HMC and
would instead require a consolidated business
license for the Farmer’s Market from the entity
that is issued the Community Events Permit.
The annual license fee would be $75 for each
participant booth space authorized under the
Permit as well as a fee due from the licensee
pursuant to Section 5.48.010 of this HMC based
on the licensee’s gross receipts.
The City Council finds and determines that
there is no possibility that the adoption of this
Ordinance will have a significant effect on the
environment. Accordingly, this Ordinance is not
subject to the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15378 of Division 6
of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations
A certified copy of the entirety of the text of Ordinance
No. 2219 is available both on the City’s
website and also in the office of the City Clerk,
4455 West 126th Street, Hawthorne, California,
and is open for public inspection. Pursuant
to Government Code section 36933(c), the
summary Ordinance No. 2219 was published
at least five (5) days before the ordinance will
be considered for adoption on April 13, 2021
at a duly convened regular meeting of the
Hawthorne City Council.
