ORAL AND WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
Coming forward to address the Council at this time were:
William Davis – Legal counsel for 911 Teamsters; said many members were present and that they were disappointed and angry with contract negotiations that began in June and resulted in a formal impasse because there was no interest on the part of the City to enhance the retirement plan even when employees agreed to pay the extra cost themselves; said these employees who provided many important tasks for the City were tired of being treated like second-class citizens and were asking only for a fair contract;
Jim Karlock – Hermosa Beach City employee, said the employees and the City should be working together, not in adversarial positions; said one reason, aside from aesthetics, that people wanted to live in Hermosa Beach because of the hard-working City employees; said during negotiations for the last contract, employees agreed to less because they understood that the State of California had no money, but this time around, it was time for the City to make things right;
Rick Mish – Hermosa Beach City employee, said he had been in the Public Works Department for 20 years and was part of the bargaining unit; said enhanced retirement had been put aside in the last contract negotiations and management said it would be addressed this time but now are completely unwilling to even discuss the subject;
Mary Watkins – Hermosa Beach City employee, said she had been with the City for almost seven years and took her duties seriously as a professional and a public servant; said anyone who comes to the cashier counter is treated with respect; speculated that what made Hermosa Beach a good place to live was due to the City officials and management and the trickle-down effect to loyal employees; asked for fairness and justice regarding labor contract negotiations; said for years an inequity has existed between her group and the others concerning insurance and deferred compensation benefits; said loyalty was a fragile thing and management’s refusing to bargain with them showed them that only other groups are worthy of consideration;
Dianne Loughin – Hermosa Beach City employee, said that she was hired to support the City prosecutor, to solve problems with the court, and to coordinate court appearances by Police personnel; said she had children, grandchildren, house and car payments, a college degree and organizational skills; described her salary history over the last 18 years and how it compared with uniformed police officers, particularly in terms of retirement benefits; urged the Council to make those benefits more equitable;
Ells Freeman – Hermosa Beach City employee, said he was a Public Works crew leader for parks and sewers; said at one time there had been five crew leaders and now there were only three, so his responsibilities had increased over the years; said the employees are dedicated, loyal, and hard working and that improved retirements were a serious issue for them; asked the Council to consider better retirement for employees, many of whom had worked for the City from 20 to 30 years;
Barbara Warner – Hermosa Beach City employee, said she has been a Finance Cashier with the City for 13 years and wanted to fight for her welfare and that of her fellow employees; said her fellow workers were good people many of whom had worked for the City for five to 20 years supporting the citizens of Hermosa Beach; urged the Council to assist these employees;
Carlos Herrera – Hermosa Beach City employee, said he had worked for the City for 33 years as a Public Works crew leader for street maintenance and traffic safety and had lived in the City for 22 years; said there were many dedicated, long-term employees who had been patiently waiting to get a better contract while seeing other groups within the City receive improved benefits;
Victor Jackson – Hermosa Beach City employee, said he was a Public Works inspector; asked the Council to take care of the employees as a parent would take care of a child; said that it was important that loyal City employees be treated equitably between the various labor groups; and,
Martha Philippoff – Hermosa Beach Library Manager, invited the community to the Friends of the Library Book Sale on Saturday, September 17, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., at 1309 Bard Street; announced that the library was sponsoring a program on how to start a home-based business on Saturday, October 8, at 11:00 a.m.
a. Letter from Keala F. Smith requesting City Council consideration of increased penalties for parking across sidewalks.
Coming forward to address the Council on this item were:
Keala Smith – Hermosa Beach, commented on her letter and described hitting her head on a car bumper because of a violation of this type; presented photographs illustrating different versions of the problem; said she did not blame the City but asked for stricter enforcement of the State Vehicle Code section which did not allow cars to be parked on any part of the sidewalk; said the problem is so widespread that property owners seem to think they have been grandfathered to violate this State law; said many tickets had been given to some people but that the $35 fine was not a deterrent and it should be increased; and,
Patty Egerer – Hermosa Beach, provided related information regarding parking on the sidewalk stating that, in some instances, property owners had built retaining walls into the public right-of-way, which was a related problem.
