Matters for Commission Consideration
-
Edith Rodaway Friendship Park
Chairman Fishman opened the Public Hearing with an invitation for any community member who would like to comment to please do so at this time.
Art Rico, 335 Gentry Street (across the street from the Park)
Believes that most people are considerate of the park and offers no suggestions for changes. There are dog feces, but feels it is localized near the gate and the caretakers appear to clean this up. Inquired as to the impetus for this call to discussion.
Chairman Fishman answered that he lives within three streets of this park and has noted the discrepancy between parks on the East side and West side of Hermosa. Some of the improvements that might be made are: increase grassy area, resurface the basketball court and maybe add another one, include a tennis court, and to beautify wall spaces with graphic art by Hermosa Valley School children in the area. The non-profit group, Friends of the Park are in the process of raising funds for purchase of play equipment for Fort Lots 'O Fun. Before any formal recommendations were made for additional improvements/ upgrades to increase the park's use, input from the community was desired.
Mr. Rico thanked Chairman Fishman for his input and agreed that an enlarged grassy area and basketball court would be great.
Meg Fender, 1111 2nd Street
Thanked Chairman Fishman for his ideas. There is a problem with dog waste not being picked up and suggests the park provide bags for those dog owners who are unprepared. Drinking fountain is broken and would like to see a dog drinking fountain installed. Picnic tables needs to be repaired and believes there needs to be more seating. In favor of enlarging the basketball courts since they are heavily used and new play equipment. Would like for the park to remain an open area for those children who ride their bikes, as opposed to segmenting off for a tennis court.
Terry Metzenbaum, 436 Gentry Street
Confirmed that there is a problem with the dogs at the park. Have been in contact with Animal Control frequently. Agreed that bags for dog waste are in a 'hidden' area and should be moved to a more conspicuous location in the park. Feels that there should be lids on trash cans, especially for the picnic area that is often filled with dog feces. She states that she would not want to have dogs banned from park. She is in favor of enlarging the basketball courts. She also stated that she works at of Our Lady of Guadalupe School and they currently use the green area during the day. She has an issue with the half-mooned shaped gravel area used as an entrance for police cars. Whenever the gravel gets wet, it flows over to her property and they have had numerous stumbles. She believes that this area should be paved.
David Rechtman, 303 Massey Street
In favor of most of the ideas proposed. Has an issue with the suggested artwork for the blank walls. He is new to the community and believes that taggers will not respect work that is not their own and this will create a problem removing graffiti that is placed over artwork.
Carol Woo, 448 Gentry Street
Agree with some ideas for refurbishing basketball area, and would like the grassy area to remain intact She also noted the problem with dog feces and thought that dog owners in the community should be educated about their responsibility.
Chairman Fishman asked Ms. Woo if the recreation brochure would be an effective tool for educating dog owners and she agreed.
Steve Volucchi, 436 Hollowell Street
His four children assisted in recommendations for park: put in jungle gym in corner section of park (not taking away from grassy area); resurface basketball blacktop area; repair drinking fountain and add one at top near picnic benches; traffic/speed significant on Hollowell would like for the City to implement a speed hump for the community's safety because of traffic/speed on Hollowell.
Chairman Fishman instructed Mr. Volucchi to contact the Police Department and give them a time and location to monitor since this is outside of the purview of the Parks & Recreation Department. Mr. Volucchi was also directed to Hermosa Beach's website which will give him information on the process for initiating speed hump placement.
Gabrielle lives on Gentry (2nd house from park)
Has always enjoyed the park. Suggested that dogs be restricted from park since there are other areas where dogs can roam freely. Would not make any changes to layout of park except to resurface the hardtop. She suggested a tennis court as opposed to additional basketball court to include taller fences and would like to see the metal chain nets on basketball hoops replaced with linen or nylon nets.
Steve Kerr, 325 Gentry
Agreed with what most people have said about green area, that most residents enjoy this the most in the park. Does not recommend banning all dogs from park. Notes that there is a dog obedience class held at the park and suggested that the instructor of this class should/could educate the owners on dog waste removal. He is in favor of resurfacing the blacktop, but likes the extra open surface as he uses it with his son for rollerblading. He is concerned about the park being too nice as it may attract too many people which could cause a problem with parking.
Mike Carr, 404 Gentry
Proposed that the lower portion of the grassy area, where 95% of users are dog owners, who allow their dogs to roam free (used a map, placed on the overhead to show exact location), be designated for dog use only by a chain link fence. Believes that some dog owners are targeted by Community Services who issue citations. He has not seen many children utilize this park, which he frequents daily. Believes that park usage is 95% dog owners. Proposed utilizing trash cans and recycle bins that have attached lids.
Comment from Commission that there is a dog park approximately 1 mile away.
Maggie Moore, 1937 Valley Drive
She is handicapped and utilizes this park because it is the easiest to get into. El Segundo is too rocky and very hard to walk in and the Redondo park is too far. She has allowed her dog off leash only because she has seen others do so.
Commissioner Fishman addressed the issue of dogs being off leashes by stating that there is a City Ordinance states that dogs in the city parks are required to be on a leash. This is the law that cannot be changed by this Commission.
Mary Jones, 1026 3rd Street
Wants park to remain as is. Would not want to see chain link fence installed for dogs.
Catherine McBride, Manhattan Beach
Jogs along the green path and saw sign regarding this open forum for Edith Rodaway Park. She feels most concerns about dogs are legitimate. She recommended that a pooper scooper be placed in the park to be utilized by those owners who sometimes pick up after dogs other than their own. Believes this will encourage people to pick up and assist in keeping the park clean.
Commission thanked all respondents for their comments and suggestions and stated that this information will become a written report and will be placed on another agenda with its recommendations and improvements with the appropriate dollar amounts and placed into the upcoming budget. There will be another opportunity for community comments once the plan of action has been established.
A request made by Mr. Aronoff to change Item 6D to Item 6B. The consensus of the Commission denied this request.

Commercial Events
-
GQ Beach Games (IMG) - Ratha Hathna with IMG states that this is a California-lifestyle event centered around the JO Pro Celebrity Beach Volleyball Tournament. The JO Foundation is an organization that helps support charitable foundations such as the Dig for Children and the Advancement for Autistic People charities; but this year's charities have not yet been decided. Interactive sponsor displays, either a concert or a film are still being decided upon. The setup and teardown would use one weekend (May 7-9) with set-up on Monday prior to the event and be off the beach by Wednesday 12 noon. This would be nine days from start to finish.
The bleachers will be in a stadium style setting, but not to the size/scope of a Beach Bash and it would be the same bleacher company which is just nuts and bolts, no wood screws, not a lot of disposable sharp objects. We have allotted more time for setup than is needed to make sure there is time for the inspection to ensure venue's safety. The plan is to keep everything north of the pier.
When we figure out whether we will have a music or film component, we will come back for approval.
Motion by Commissioner Francis to approve event on the two (2) conditions that staff mentioned. 1) that the venue close at 6 p.m. on Saturday night and 2) incentives to use shuttle system to alleviate traffic congestion.
Commissioner Sigler seconded the motion.
All Ayes
-
EVP Tour Pro Am Beach Volleyball Tournament - Ross Balling is the EVP Tour President and have been putting on events since 1994 and this is going on our fourth year in Hermosa. Professional and amateur players travel from approximately five (5) different cities to compete against one another. We utilize about 10 courts and 10 tents and spectators number approximately 500 - 1000. Setup will be on Friday and end at 7:00pm on Saturday, June 19th, specializing in one-day event. We are requesting that the Friday set-up fee to be waived and in lieu of the fee, we will provide professional instructors hold a volleyball clinic for both kids and adults on Friday night.
Motion by Commissioner Hollander to approve this event.
Commissioner Sigler seconded the motion.
All Ayes
-
AVP Hermosa Open Beach Volleyball Tournament is not in attendance and in their letter of request (in the supplemental packet) they are asking that application be held until our March meeting. They are interested in the date within their application, but were unable to be ready for presentation until their meetings in New York are concluded.
Motion by Commissioner Frances to table this application until the next meeting.
Commissioner Bell seconded the motion.
All Ayes
-
Hermosa Beach Triathlon (MESP) - Mike Epstein from MESP stated that this is the 14th year for the triathlon in Hermosa Beach and is limited to 1000 participants. This event sells out each year one month in advance and is designed as a community based, friendly introduction to the sport of triathlon. Their analysis shows that 1/3 of the competitors are from beach cities (including Redondo and Manhattan) and but the majority (approximately 120) are residents of Hermosa Beach.
This year there will be a change in the bike route and we have spent the last three months working with the Police Department looking for ways to improve the route. There are currently three proposals for the bike route and is still a work in progress so the route is not official as of yet. MESP stated that they will use direct mail to notify every resident of the upcoming event.
Motion by Commissioner Hollander to approve this event subject to the conditions that the bike route is resolved and the insurance provision on the contract should be reworded to read: "Waiver shall hold the City of Hermosa Beach, the County of Los Angeles harmless from and against, any and all liability."
Commissioner Sigler seconded the motion.
All Ayes
Non-Profit Events were discussed and the Commission reviewed Supplemental section - Information Grid for Fee Waivers.
The Commission addressed questions and comments regarding fee waivers. The City needs to make money this year since the budget will affect Parks & Recreation first. All fees are for costs only - none are for profit. Fees allow Parks & Recreation to recoup the cost of providing services. A discussion ensued as to Commission deciding the appropriateness of the fee waivers by either modification or complete waiving of fees. Permit fees can be waived completely for Non-Profits. General consensus is to not waive Police, Fire, CR Staff and Banner fees - all permit fees are subjective. There was a call for comments from those in attendance to speak on the prior discussion by the Commission on waiving of fees. Comments:
- Great Autos of Yester Year Car Show - Please decide on a case-by-case basis.
- Hermosa Beach Art Walk - Respects budget cuts but please look at on a case-by-case basis, first time event and very little money (approx. $1,000). Commission stated the only fees for this event that won't be waived is the banner fee ($236.00).
- Hermosa Shorts Film Festival: Requested that fees considered on a case-by-case basis.
Discussion resumed by Commission. A cursory review of fees to be waived is approximately $3,500 which won't make a big dent in the budget. It would be better to go on a case-by-case basis.
Motion by Commissioner Sigler to not waive fees associated with Police, Fire, CR Staff and Banners.
Commissioner Bell seconded the motion.
Ayes: Commissioners Fishman, Bell, Hollander and Sigler
Nays: Francis
Non-Profit Events
-
17th Annual Richstone Center Pass-Through Event: Organizers of this event were not in attendance. The application was on file and it was noted that the fee ($128) is typically waived.
Motion by Commissioner Francis to approve this event as submitted.
Commissioner Sigler seconded the motion.
All Ayes
-
Great Autos of Yester Year Car Show - David Friedman, 525 Veronica Street, Los Angeles. He believes that the vote as it stands has determined the fate of this event. Last year was the 4th year for this event and the only year where the weather cooperated. Of the 25 events that is put on by this club, this is the only event where there is no fee charged to the participants and pedestrians. The attendance for this event is approximately 500. The club pays for the $2 million insurance writer. The fees total $730.00 and not waiving $430.00 (CR is $75 and Police is $355).
Motion by Commissioner Hollander to approve this event.
Commissioner Francis seconded the motion.
All Ayes
-
Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) Youth Volleyball Tournament - Gino Gradeda, the National Chair for the AAU. This event has been in Hermosa for 10 years and considers Hermosa Beach home. All of the top volleyball players in the junior league are from this area and some of them are qualifying to compete on an international level. Banner fees are paid by the national office, calculated at $1.20 per participant and currently it is estimated at $600.00. Hermosa Beach is the only stand-alone event and scheduling is very tight so this is in the process of being worked out. The event is July 10 & 11 with set-up scheduled for July 9th.
With waiving of fees, the City absorbs $915.00, so you're looking at a banner fee of $200.
Motion by Commissioner Francis to approve this event. Motion amended to apply the Special Event Contract to this event.
Commissioner Hollander seconded the motion.
All Ayes
Commissioner Bell made the comment that when Bill made the motion and he (Bell) seconded it to not waive the police, staff, fire and banner fees, he's not certain that we should just waive everything else by any means (the amplifier permit, the parking, etc.) so those should still be up for discussion. He's suggesting that the Commission should look at the other things like the permits and wonders if anyone thinks they should not waive some of those in certain circumstances.
-
Hermosa Beach Art Walk - Ken Klade, 437 Pier Avenue stated that they have a lot of community support for this event. This event will be held the last Thursday of each month, 5 to 9 pm. In collaboration with the Art Foundation, they will have artists and children's art from the schools set up at the Community Center theater with artists set up along the sidewalks primarily on the north end of the street to exhibit their work. Set-up at 3:00 pm, show starts at 5:00 pm and tear down at 10:00 pm. It is designed to bring art awareness to the community in conjunction with other art organizations. There will also be jazz music with Ozzie Cadena at different locations. The event will not generate much revenue and is open to obtaining sponsors, if necessary. Each artist is responsible for obtaining a Seller's Permit. The artists will sign a waiver to not hold the City responsible for or be liable for any damages. The artist will also be responsible for his own sales and sales tax. Artists will need approximately two hours of and four spaces for drop zone to be able to pull up to park and unload artwork. Street businesses signed off that this is acceptable.
Commission feels this is a great event. The only cost would be for a banner at $236.00 - waived permit fee of $5,745, $2,040 for parking as per motion. How are the sales of artists' work handled?
Motion by Commissioner Sigler to approve this application to include a Special Event Contract to address issues such as parking, and any other issues that might come up in the course of discussion with staff.
Commissioner Hollander seconded the motion.
All Ayes
-
So Cal Foundation for Children Beach Volleyball Tournament - Bill Sigler spoke regard this event to take place on August 7th. It's a one-day event with minimal impact, three 10x10 tents for food, relaxing and checking in. There are approximately 300 participants, will utilize all of the volleyball courts and no bleachers will be set up - use of lawn chairs, have utilized porta-potties. All net proceeds from the two events during the year that they put one are used to buy Christmas gifts for underprivileged children from Long Beach to Venice and deliver directly to the children. They are only asking permit fee be waived. They can pay for parking - only two spaces needed. It will be the same as the last two years.
Motion by Commissioner Francis to approve this application for August 7th.
Commissioner Hollander seconded the motion.
Ayes: Commissioners Fishman, Bell, Francis, and Hollander

The Surfer's Hall of Fame will be held on Sunday in conjunction with this event; details are yet to be worked out. The event set-up would be on Friday from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm with tear-down early Monday morning. They are requesting fee waivers - most importantly the permit fee (approximately $4,000 and parking $1,200). The cost of $236.00 for the banner and the CR staff fee ($600) is fine.
Motion by Commissioner Francis to approve this event.
Commissioner Sigler seconded the motion.
All Ayes

Hermosa Shorts Film Festival - Tom Kearney spoke regarding this film festival. He stated that working with Greg Wyatt and with the blessing of the Hermosa Arts Foundation, (KIC) a non-profit organization, was formed to keep kids off drugs, working with high school students to make projects for the film festival. They have also canvassed USC and UCLA for college student participation. Interactive workshops will be provided on independent film making, lighting, casting, editing and mock screen tests. The entire event is contained within the Community Center. Adelphia, Apple, Hennessy's, Sangria's, 701 and Saachi & Saachi are among the sponsors. They will be obtaining other sponsors to handle the cost for this event. The goal of this event, 5 to 10 years down the road, is to have a forum to rate film schools so that this event will be the authority on film schools.
Motion by Commissioner Bell to approve this application subject to signature on the permit application.
Commissioner Sigler seconded the motion.
All Ayes

Surfin' Hermosa 2004 - Maggie Moir spoke regarding the Hermosa Beach Education Foundation and the Hermosa Arts Foundation collaboration to produce this event which highlights jazz and surfing. Artists will submit design concepts and 20 artists will be chosen to produce their designs on surfboards. They will then be displayed in various locations throughout the City (and be part of the "Art Walk") and would then be auctioned off at the end of summer. Fee waivers and all profits will be split between the two foundations.
Commission asked where these surfboards will be placed. Maggie stated they have not yet been determined but they are currently in the process of talking to various businesses factoring in visibility and safety. Set-up fee waiver requested is not applicable. The only cost associated would be a banner fee of $236.00.
Motion by Commissioner Hollander to approve this event subject to the Special Event Contract.

Pier Plaza Merchant Promotions - These two events are typically approved at the department level. This is a special policy approved by Council that each Pier Plaza Merchant has three events that they can produce each year. Hennessey's is the only merchant that takes advantage of this by producing these two events.
Little League Fundraiser & Hennessey's Cup Paddle Board Championship - Tim Dolan spoke to these two events. Each event will be the same as the last two years. Both events involve local youth - Paddle Board Championship (July 17th) is for the local junior lifeguards and the Little League Fundraiser (May 15th) is a large part of the funds for this organization. Each event has been positive with no problems.
Commission questioned waiving the $450.00 steam cleaning fee. This fee has been requested by event operators only, it is normally charged. Tim Dolan indicated that Hennessey's paid last year and has no problem with paying this fee again this year.
Motion by Commissioner Bell to approve both events with steam cleaning cost to be absorbed by Hennessey's.
Commissioner Francis seconded the motion.
All Ayes
Item D was discussed before Item C, but is reported here for clarity.
-
Fee Schedule
Lisa Lynn - Every department has been directed to assess their existing fee schedule and look for ways to increase revenue. We are a revenue-based department and charge fees for all of our programs, room rentals, and fees for special events. We have done a comparative study with surrounding cities to gauge where we're at as far as fees are concerned. That's what these two reports include, our fee structure and areas where it would be reasonable to increase.
Items A - C was discussed at length with fee increase viewed as reasonable.
Item D - to double the price for rental of tennis courts to instructors.
Public Comment on Item D
Mark Warshaw, 540 Manhattan Avenue
Have lived and worked in Hermosa Beach for last 20 years and utilized its courts. Professionals are not making much money and if prices rise significantly, it will be passed onto the students. This will be a loss to all involved. Opposed to charging users for Tennis Courts. Believes this will increase workload. Please do a cost benefit analysis first.
Further discussion by the Commission regarding scheduling, public usage, first come, first served and metered lighting. Guidelines to be established to prevent abuse of reservation privilege. Finding the most cost effective way to monitor court usage that has the least financial impact. Also to look at ways to cut expenditures associated with the current usage of the tennis courts. Will table this item until lighting and reservation is further explored identify cost versus expenditure.
Item E - Fee of $50 for Non Profit Renters and $100 for Commercial Renters. No application fee is currently charged. Agreed upon.
Item F - Institute a new fee of $20 for room rental application processing and creating additional fee of $15 per hour for room set up, tear down and equipment use. Clarified that this pertains to rooms in the Community Center. Clarified that if room is actually rented, there is a deposit required to cover any damages. This fee is simply an application fee. Clarified that this is charged per process.
Item G - Increase Fee for Field Light Usage. This will be evaluated along with the lighting for the tennis courts also.
Item H - Commercial Event Permit Fees. There is a proposal to increase fees for our commercial event categories.
Motion by Commissioner Francis to approve the fee increases that were discussed and come back next month to discuss tennis fees.
Commissioner Hollander seconded the motion.
All Ayes

Regulation of Electric Personal Assistive Mobility Devices (EPAMDS)
This issue discussed at the last Parks & Recreation Commission meeting was considered to be a ground act violation and the way to remedy this, according to the letter from the City Attorney's office, is to rescind any action that was taken at the January 12, 2004 meeting, though no action was formally taken. .
Motion by Commissioner Francis to rescind the informal straw poll taken at January 12, 2004 meeting.
Commissioner Bell seconded the motion.
All Ayes
Public Comments:
Robert Aronoff., 124 The Strand
Pleased that the Commission has an interest in the segway issue. Corrected the spelling of segway and his last name from minutes of last meeting. Was disappointed by the misconceptions and feels it is an important issue environmentally. This is a new technology, very unique and the Commission should take the time to investigate. They are defined as legal by the law and can be regulated by each community. He extended the offer for the Commission to come watch the instruction video and take a test ride. No danger is posed by these vehicles to pedestrians. Asked that this be tabled until the next meeting to give time for investigation. They travel at 12.5 mph, but are not designed to operate at this speed at all times. They are designed to move with pedestrians. Wanted to give a demonstration this evening but time would not allow. Can be used by handicapped and the near-immobile.
Maggie Moir
Has had the opportunity to ride these vehicles and approved of this technology. Hopes that the Commission will further investigate the vehicle.
Jason Stumler, 486 Court
City of Los Angeles' Mayor's office put together a task force with a wide variety of people and studied the issue for several months and cited advantages and disadvantages. Advantage is that an average segway user will leave the car at home when using the segway. This will produce less traffic, pollution, parking spaces, etc. MTA has allowed segways onto lightweight trains. Risks include low noise and width of sidewalks to accommodate segways. Segways measure 25 inches in width. Committee did not ban the segways, but instituted restrictions on their use, which included: 1) training: must be trained before utilizing in a public place, 2) speed: can't travel over 12.5 mph or what conditions warrant, 3) right of way: must yield to foot pedestrians, 4) age: must be 16 years old to ride and if under 18, must wear a helmet and no alcohol consumption. Also, recommended Department of Parks & Recreation authority to designate certain parks or a certain portion of the parks as off-limits due to safety. Department of Transportation was given the authority to regulate certain areas based on sidewalk width or population density. Actual study can be provided for Commission's use.
Discussion by Commission:
Council had a public meeting two meetings ago and introduced ordinance changes. Old law's language prohibited motorized vehicles. New ordinance was introduced which treated segway's as pedestrians. A question was raised as to which ordinance the segway was to be governed by. The Council will look at this recommendation as a second reading. Choices are: 1) to take an action one way or another, 2) to take on action at all, 3) to receive and file the information, or 4) to schedule it for sometime in the future.
Motion by Commissioner Bell to delay recommendation until next meeting.
Commissioner Sigler seconded the motion.
Ayes: Commissioners Bell, Sigler
Nays: Commissioners Francis, Hollander
Motion did not carry.
Motion by Commissioner Francis to receive and file.
