[3:13] I've got the first one.

[3:15] I will read the accommodation followed by comments from member boyles that he sent along for it whereas tyler is he can begin at the age of seven writing his first board which is a hand-me-down seven foot petrus and garage board from his father

[3:32] complete with a yellow tent and rails wrapped in gray duct tape.

[3:36] Whereas tyler shaping surfboards in his mother's garage just 12 years old, eventually spending than a decade building short boards before turning his passion and craftsmanship towards longboards.

[3:48] Whereas tyler is continually to create developing innovative designs graphics and shapes while honoring the natural evolution of classic surfboard forms through simplicity, elegance and exceptional craftsmanship.

[4:03] And.

[4:03] Whereas, tyler has earned a reputation of creating some of the most coveted longboards in the south bay and beyond with his boards regarded as pinnacle of the craft.

[4:11] Beautifully shaped, thoughtfully designed and in the timeless traditions of surfing.

[4:15] Whereas tyler's and significant contributions to the sport of surfing were recognized april 25th, 2026 when he was inducted as a south boy south bay legend surfboard shaper into the 22nd annual hermosa surfer walk of fame.

[4:32] Whereas surfing is an integral part of the culture, character and excellence of the south bay communities.

[4:37] And tyler his higgins artistry, passion and commitment have helped preserve and advance that proud tradition for generations surfers to come.

[4:45] Now therefore on this first day of september 2026, the mayor and members of the city council of the city of el segundo, california.

[4:52] Do hereby commend television south bay legend for his outstanding contributions to the sport and culture of surfing and his enduring impact on the south surfing community.

[5:02] Congratulations on your induction to the hermosa surfer walk of

[5:12] .

[5:13] No comments from councilman boyles.

[5:16] I'm generally sorry I can't be here tonight to personally my friend tyler huizinga.

[5:21] If I weren't speaking at the surf park this week on the east coast I wouldn't miss this for the world and of all people.

[5:28] I think tyler would understand the excuse.

[5:31] There are certain people who become inseparable from the identity of a place and tyler is one of those people for el segundo.

[5:36] Tyler and I have been for many years.

[5:40] We've done business together.

[5:42] He sponsored one of my sons when he was competing in surfing and I've had the opportunity opportunity to return the favor by sponsoring tyler and another one of his passions racecar driving.

[5:52] So I've had the privilege of knowing tyler not just as a legendary surfer and internationally surfboard builder but as a friend a fellow el segundo entrepreneur and someone who has been a part of my family's life.

[6:04] Tyler's influence extends far beyond el segundo.

[6:05] His boards and craftsmanship are respected around the world and his surfing has influenced generations of surfers.

[6:12] But what I've always admired about tyler is that he has never lost the authenticity that got him there in the first place.

[6:18] When I think about tyler there is one image I will never forget.

[6:21] Watching him charge double overhead hammer land on a longboard without a leash for anyone who knows hammer land that pretty much tells you everything you need to know.

[6:32] Tyler has always had that rare combination of style and courage.

[6:36] He respects the traditions of surfing and the people who came before him but has never been afraid to take his own line.

[6:41] That describes us surfing.

[6:44] It describes the boards he builds.

[6:45] It describes his racing and I think it describes the way tyler has lived his life.

[6:48] He's a an entrepreneur and an original pros unquestionably a legend of the south bay and of the broader surfing community.

[6:58] But here in el segundo we get to claim something more.

[7:02] He is one of our own and I think that that matters.

[7:06] Tyler a part of el segundo that I hope we never leave.

[7:08] Craftsmanship, entrepreneurship hip surfing, individuality, courage and people who aren't particularly interested in following the crowd.

[7:15] Tyler congratulations on an honor that is richly deserved.

[7:19] I'm proud to call you a friend.

[7:19] Grateful for the friendship that you've my family over the years and proud that your story is part of el segundo.

[7:26] Congratulations, my friend.

[7:26] I wish I could be there.

[7:33] , would you like to say a few words?

[7:40] Well, I'm I'm honored and it's pretty touching to hear these words from friends and it's good good to be back in town and and see a lot of you and you know, el segundo means a lot to me.

[7:56] I had my first business license at age 16 billboards in my garage here.

[8:02] My mom was a cosigner on my bank account.

[8:03] I was so young know.

[8:06] But you're also going to means a lot.

[8:10] Grew up here, went to school here k through 12 and you know, surfing we didn't always have a lot of surfers but you know the ones that we did have in town mom pretty much made a pretty good mark either locally or even internationally.

[8:25] So it's just an honor.

[8:28] I love el segundo and once again it's just an honor.

[8:32] Thank you very

[8:42] .

[8:51] 21st year mexico yeah.

[15:19] So I go, that's a good answer.

[15:22] Thank you so much for the introduction cheerfully honorable mayor.

[15:29] Members of the city council thank you so much for the opportunity to serve your emergency management coordinator during my time as a public safety dispatcher I had the privilege and at the difficult responsibility of listening to people some

[15:44] of the worst days of their lives.

[15:45] That experience taught me to lead with compassion, remain calm under pressure and most importantly how to be there for people during their emergencies .

[15:56] As I began learning more about emergency management about felt almost natural.

[16:01] I studied the emergency management and learned that our goal is not only to respond when something happens but to help prepare our communities before an emergency ever occurs.

[16:12] Now I have the opportunity help our community do just that.

[16:16] My goal is to build a robust and comprehensive emergency management program modeled after fema's whole community approach.

[16:24] This means preparing with everyone in mind.

[16:28] Our children are older adults.

[16:29] Our families individuals with access and functional needs.

[16:35] Emergency must be something we build together not something we expect to navigate alone when disaster strikes.

[16:40] It's no secret that elsa condo faces a unique set of risks with our other south bay cities.

[16:48] Because of that I'm here today to ask for your help to help in emphasizing the importance of emergency preparedness throughout our community.

[16:55] Today marks the beginning of national preparedness month and it is an important opportunity to begin this work.

[17:03] We will start training our city staff, reconnecting with our community partners and stakeholders and, restarting our disaster council.

[17:11] Together we can build a stronger, more prepared and a more resilient more resilient el segundo one that is not only ready to respond to an emergency but prepared face it before it ever begins.

[18:29] I would like to invite kelly

[18:38] to maple here I am west maple, kelly west maple all the way.

[18:45] Hi.

[18:45] I'm I'm here tonight to ask everyone to consider putting on the agenda a moratorium a temporary moratorium on data centers so that the city could have some time to study.

[18:57] You know, I feel like we got a kind of on the back foot the last data center event that we had and I'm afraid that that might happen again and I think it would be great if the city got ahead of the issue put a temporary like if someone could

[19:13] agenda is it discussing and then possibly make a moratorium so that the staff could study that now that's all it says just to request to agenda is that so.

[19:24] Thank you.

[19:25] Thank you ms.

[19:30] Stewart and now 3 minutes to zoom.

[19:31] Okay.

[19:32] Marilyn mccafferty mccafferty it should say melissa mccafferty sorry everyone.

[19:42] We get an eagle's nest call out right there.

[19:45] I'm I'm a boomer as the kids would say so sorry I botched that that thank you for having me also resident of west maple congratulations to tyler has again that's really cool my father in law served with him so really cool to see him receive

[20:01] that award I'm here tonight to just inquire or at some point maybe I'll I'll be able to get back to us on the investigation into the speakers who failed to disclose their employment at the agency at the august 12th special meeting.

[20:21] So I just didn't want to lose sight that and I know that mayor pimentel had asked for that to be investigated and then the second item is I'm just here to encourage you to follow up with your city attorney mark hensley potentially in closed

[20:39] session.

[20:39] I know we're reaching out this is the tesla item also from the august 12th special meeting.

[20:46] But as I previously mentioned in public comment it appears there may have been a cause of action.

[20:50] The city has said up for for litigation and I've done more research and I can be wrong because it's not my area but it looks like code of civil procedure action ten 94.5 required is the cause action and that subsection b is we could allege or

[21:19] a community member could allege that the city acted in excess of its jurisdiction and under subsection c there if we claim the findings are not supported by the evidence and as several people pointed out the were not there were no findings found

[21:37] at the special meeting when the appeal from the planning commission and decision was granted to the applicant.

[21:45] So that is all I have to say tonight.

[21:50] Thank you so much for the time.

[21:51] Thank you ms.

[21:53] Mccafferty.

[21:53] All right.

[21:54] We're back to the person john petkovic, please.

[22:04] Good evening.

[22:08] My name is john akiba.

[22:09] I am a resident of alpha gondo not on west maple but maybe someday in july the planning commission was asked to approve a 230,780 square foot data center to replace an existing hotel.

[22:22] The proposal on an environmental review report that was nearly 25 years old and it did not contemplate the scale and resource of a modern air data center.

[22:32] Residents and members of the surrounding community turned out in force at the meeting, raising serious concerns about its enormous energy and infrastructure demands environmental impacts, permanent employment density and the opportunity cost

[22:45] of dedicating a significant piece of land to such use before the commission even completed its excuse me completed its hearing.

[22:52] However, the applicant response to the public opposition withdrew the application but the withdrawal did not answer the larger question what role any should datacentres play in the country's future.

[23:06] Another will come when it does alphago nil should know where it stands like stewart.

[23:11] I am calling on this council to institute a moratorium on new data center approvals while vision 2050 the city's ongoing update of the general plan land use element continues.

[23:22] We cannot simply assume our existing zoning code will protect us.

[23:26] Your tesla decision as I was just brought up showed us why staff can determine that a use is not permitted.

[23:33] The planning commission can agree and a council can still disregard both and approve the project despite what the law says.

[23:41] We need a clear policy before the next applicant.

[23:44] Hoping this council will make another exception.

[23:48] Vision 2050 is ultimately an exercise in defining.

[23:52] El segundo has a finite has finite land and finite infrastructure.

[23:56] We should be using that capacity to real community needs including creating more opportunities for people live here and for people to stay living here.

[24:04] There is no data center shortage we have been asked to solve and there is no data set numbers we have to hit this cycle.

[24:12] A moratorium would the city time to study power and water demand infrastructure noise, environmental impacts, employment tax revenue and opportunity cost and to decide through vision 2050 whether data centers belong here and if so where and

[24:29] under standards.

[24:29] More importantly, it would let us define what we want before the next project asks us to decide what we are willing to accept.

[24:37] And with my final 25 seconds or so I just want to talk about another hot button issue in town.

[24:44] Flock surveillance cameras.

[24:45] It's my understanding that that contract will renew in a few months and it is under the $50,000 threshold needed to come before council.

[24:55] I bring this up with no distrust and also I no police department.

[24:59] I think this company flock has been in the headlines a lot now .

[25:02] I read that 50 companies withdrew their business with block in the last month alone so mr.

[25:07] Bauer had time.

[25:10] Anyone else we know right.

[25:13] Any council comments seeing none city manager any no comments.

[25:24] Mayor burwell.

[25:24] All right.

[25:28] I would entertain a procedural motion to read all ordinances and resolutions on the agenda but only so moved all the seconds throughout the first building on the second.

[25:38] All those in favor I for oh confirmed do we have any polls ?

[25:45] Number seven please.

[25:45] Number seven.

[25:46] Anyone else?

[25:51] All right.

[25:51] Can I have a motion approve items four through six so moved second through on the second.

[26:02] All those in favor I for oh item seven would be mayor pro tem I'm seven is an agreement for the installation of a 911 remembrance mural fire station number one and I just thought I'd give an opportunity to say I a chief again and tell us about

[26:16] your project.

[26:19] Thank you, mr.

[26:20] Mayor.

[26:20] Pro tem again fire chief ryan allie.

[26:23] Want to talk a little bit about this project that we're working on as we know september 11, 2001 changed our country forever.

[26:33] This year marks 25 years from the date you're el segundo firefighters like to create a lasting tribute honoring the firefighters, first responders, police officers and all the civilian who lost their lives that day.

[26:45] The mural will represent the enduring commitment of firefighters to serve sacrifice and never forget those who made the ultimate sacrifice that day who ran into the peril and to try to do the best they could to help the others.

[27:00] And I want to tell you where the idea came from.

[27:01] It actually came from the floor of the fire floor.

[27:04] One of our members who's a very ,very good artist and he's also he likes to put a lot of good art throughout our fire stations and do make us remember these types of things so we honor our profession.

[27:19] I'm going to introduce him in a moment.

[27:20] I'm really proud of this coming from the fire floor and I want to let you know if you look up here to your right or left you'll see the hose tower at fire station one.

[27:32] It faces north I'm sorry southeast about the southeast.

[27:38] Sorry.

[27:38] You can see view it pretty well from grand.

[27:41] This was his design.

[27:44] This is born from fire paramedic dylan law and it's a lot of it's self-explanatory but some of it isn't.

[27:51] We obviously have the american flag and the words never forget that is for all that happened that day the lives lost you know how we came together as a country and united and how we recovered.

[28:06] The 343 is symbolic of the 343 firefighters who perished in the towers and it's a it's part of every firefighter that puts a badge on and they think about that I guarantee you daily the funding for this comes completely from the firefighters

[28:26] association.

[28:26] This is a near and dear to the heart.

[28:27] Like I said, they want to fund it completely and they found a great artist rose rosanna toth she's able actually come and meet with the arts and cultural committee to go over her own credentials.

[28:37] She has all the certifications licenses, insurance she's and she's done many of these types of murals throughout los angeles many fire stations actually.

[28:45] And her is impeccable it's great actually dylan found her but we had great support from the and cultural committee great support from fire management much everybody who's come across this has had a lot of support and obviously for me as well

[29:06] we are asking for a contract that's already been drawn up and to be signed by the city manager to allow this project to move.

[29:14] And asking for your approval on this tonight and just as from fire chief is a proud moment that this is coming from our guys that serve our city and do and put their best foot forward every day.

[29:23] I'm just going to give it over to dylan law because I think he deserves to be recognized because he does his head the things so quickly.

[29:29] Can you just I got something prepared.

[29:33] Good evening and members of the city council.

[29:38] My name is dylan on I've been a firefighter here and also got it for the past seven years.

[29:41] Every day I've come to work I see the hose tower from the corner of grant and standard for years I've looked at it and thought what a great blank canvas this could be for something meaningful something that represent our fire department and

[29:52] become a part of our community that be that the people can see every day.

[29:56] With the 25th anniversary of 911 approaching, I couldn't think of a more meaningful way to use that space for firefighters.

[30:02] The hose tower is more than just a part of the fire station a staple to the fire department of two of our to fire departments everywhere we train on it we use it to dry hoses.

[30:11] It represents a big part of what we do.

[30:13] But 911 means something much deeper those of us in the fire service and to our brothers and sisters in law enforcement many people wearing uniforms just like ours went to work that day and never came home.

[30:24] We now have firefighters working alongside of us who are only two years old when 911 happened they grew up hearing about it but they didn't experience it the way those of us who are older did.

[30:32] We want to make sure that memory of that day and the sacrifice of the 343 and all those who were lost is never forgotten.

[30:42] This is our way of coming together as a department, as a community to honor those lives ,remember their sacrifice and remind future generations of what happened that day.

[30:49] I also want to take a moment to sincerely thank our fire chief, the firefighter association union members, the city council and our committee for supporting this project.

[30:57] A lot of work time effort went into getting this off the ground.

[31:01] We couldn't have done it without everyone who believed in the idea and helped make it happen.

[31:05] Incredibly excited for the opportunity to turn this blank canvas into something that hope will become a lasting staple in our community.

[31:10] And finally, we hope everyone will join us for our pancake breakfast on september 12th where we will officially unveiled the mural.

[31:17] Thank you again for your support and for giving us the opportunity to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

[31:23] We're proud of what this will represent for the fire department for el segundo and importantly for those who will never get back.

[31:27] Thank you.

[31:30] Thank

[31:36] .

[31:37] One portion I didn't point out is the new york skyline with the twin towers in the bottom.

[31:41] I forgot to mention that self-explanatory.

[31:46] All right.

[31:46] Thank you.

[31:46] Thank you, chief.

[31:47] All right.

[31:47] A discussion now.

[31:51] Just a great addition.

[31:52] Yeah, no, I just actually just want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

[31:55] That is truly something incredible for you to give back the city to remember that day.

[31:59] So again, it's not something you had to do it something you wanted to do and I really appreciate it.

[32:08] All right.

[32:09] Would anyone like to move approval for item seven?

[32:12] Sure.

[32:12] Baldino summers.

[32:14] I'll second drew on the second.

[32:15] I'll lose a favor for oh, okay.

[32:21] This is the time and place here to perfect for a public meeting.

[32:25] We will now conduct a public hearing to adopt a resolution certifying the 25 urban water management system.

[32:31] City clerk was proper notice of the hearing given the timely manner?

[32:35] Yes.

[32:36] Mayor proper notice was given city clerk has any written communication been regarding this public hearing?

[32:40] No written communication has been received.

[32:43] The public hearing is now open.

[32:44] Mr.

[32:44] George will present on this item yes city cheryl ebert will give this presentation but good evening mayor and members of the city council before you tonight is the city's 2025 urban water management plan or um state law requires urban water

[33:05] suppliers such as the city of el segundo to prepare and update this plan every five years using a 20 year planning horizon, the unep evaluates the city's current and projected water demands available supplies, water conservation efforts and

[33:17] the reliability of those supplies under normal and drought conditions.

[33:24] The city currently serves approximately 17,000 residents through approximately 57.5 miles of water mains.

[33:31] Our potable water is supplied through west basin municipal water with recycled water also provided for irrigation and industrial uses.

[33:39] One important finding of the plan is that the city continues make progress in water conservation.

[33:43] The city's actual per capita water use was 282 gallons per capita day in 2025 well below the applicable target of 411 gallons per capita per day meaning city successfully achieved its water use reduction goal.

[34:02] The plan also evaluates the reliability of our future water supply through 2050.

[34:06] Under normal single dry year and drier conditions based on the analysis and and the supply planning conducted by west basin and water district.

[34:17] The plan concludes that the city will be able to meet is projected water demand over the planning period including under various hydrologic scenarios.

[34:25] Tonight's public hearing the community an opportunity to comment on the plan prior to council consideration.

[34:33] Following this public hearing staff recommends the city council adopt the 2025 urban water management plan and this concludes my presentation.

[34:41] I have cindy as far as I hear the consulting team and I'm here also to answer any questions.

[34:50] The public hearing is now open .

[34:54] Is there any public input?

[34:55] I have a motion close the public hearing about dinosaur moves.

[35:02] Oh second caller from the second I was a favor.

[35:05] All right.

[35:06] All right.

[35:06] Council discussion.

[35:11] No, it's great to have a plan that's in compliance.

[35:17] Great.

[35:17] Does this have a forecast for of the pure water project on the east side for l.a.

[35:22] County or the it's or it's come answer one for l.a.

[35:27] San which is it a recycle 200 230 million gallons a day or does that is that high end or when do we start factoring in those calculations?

[35:35] I don't think that we included in that's not included, right.

[35:40] It's correct.

[35:41] So the plan is prepared for most available information at the moment of preparing the plan and due to the hard numbers or the hard numbers I guess you can say that we would have to implement those forecasts not included in this update and do

[35:57] we have any idea about what that measure w the scale on imperial which will technically be in the city of l.a.

[36:01] But as part of project will that impact any of our any rate calculation or good any of our recharge wells.

[36:08] No because the plan doesn't include recharge water it's all imported potable water from just the import and it does calculate of the 43 million gallons that gets pulled back to us based for my period as in the calculus the rain not for the potable

[36:22] water well it's not portable I mean but it's a deduction from what our potable demand is well the supplies analyzed because all the the city's water is supplied through west basin that's more of something that would be included in the west urban

[36:40] water management plan not necessarily the one for the city of el segundo.

[36:43] All right.

[36:44] I have no more lame questions or anything else from the council.

[36:48] Uh, city attorney, would you read the resolution by me?

[36:53] Mayor and council resolution adopted those agendas 2025 urban water management plan is ready for adoption.

[36:59] Would anyone like to move it?

[37:02] Adoption so moved second through on a second all those in favor or oh, we have a um thank you.

[37:14] We are well, we we're all winners in the um all right.

[37:16] Item nine for the america's most popular department the fire department is back up to request purchase a replacement fire engine rescue ambulance chief circe

[37:36] kidding me honorable mayor america item city council I appreciate the opportunity to speak tonight about requests requesting the replacement of fire engine and rescue ambulance you know when we you know in order to start kind of want to just

[37:51] briefly discuss our went too far just to kind of like our replacement plan some of the kind of key features of that we kind of did it a forensic audit of our equipment replacement schedule and identified apparatus equipment, things that are

[38:06] no longer relevant for the fire department and moved those funds into underfunded items throughout the a replacement schedule.

[38:14] So that's been about a three year through the budget prep process that we've kind of taken a look at another item that was never realized was when we send out engines on strike and we are fully reimbursed for the cost by the state, a lot of

[38:32] the included in that cost is costs associated with the apparatus those funds were never routed through the equipment replacement and as we know when they're out on strike teams for up to you know, a couple of weeks at a time there are extreme

[38:44] wear and tear on the and so we have now identified whatever that portion and rerouted it back into our quiver replacement fund which will help fund the apparatus in a timely manner as well.

[39:01] The also the up to date and I have a slide here coming up about I've been tracking all of the costs associated with the repairs and maintenance the vehicles so we can kind of have an accurate guide as to how much we're spending annually as well

[39:14] as cumulative costs for each apparatus.

[39:17] And then we're basically developed kind of a business plan so to speak as a forecasting, you know, the needs of the fire department.

[39:25] What current status is.

[39:25] I've had an opportunity to speak to many of you about this and so we're just trying to kind of strategize that long after I'm gone that we have a plan in place for replacement of apparatus.

[39:36] So this is a screenshot when I was speaking about the matrix project if you look at the bottom there's each apparatus in different colors is out and I have it basically a similar gantt chart as well as every single cost associated of for all

[39:51] the maintenance on the on the vehicle so we can kind of see have a better picture of of why we're replacing apparatus the end when we're asking to replace them so what we're trying to accomplish establish a replacement plan that's kind of forward

[40:06] looking we're always we want to forecast what the needs are the department and and to best replace our apparatus in a timely fashion.

[40:13] One thing that we are also doing that I recognized was is that we were not keeping up with the continual increase in costs.

[40:20] So we set a schedule for a say 20 year replacement those vehicles we weren't continually getting an an update on the on the price of the vehicle and so we're doing that single year and making sure that we're allocating the correct amount of

[40:35] money and then we're we're always looking at deployment as well as far as like when one particular example is tiered dispatching.

[40:43] So for example if we have a fire alarm.

[40:46] We no longer send every single piece of apparatus going code three through the city to a ringing fire alarm with no other.

[40:53] So we've backed off on that.

[40:54] We send a single engine and so that helps with the depreciation and wear and tear on the vehicles rather than sending not only is it safer for the firefighters but the community as well.

[41:04] So nfpa oh one recommends and you can be replacement is 15 years ten years in front line and five years in and reserve status or 150,000 miles.

[41:17] We have set a schedule approximately 20 years we like we try to stay on the ten year front line ten reserve.

[41:22] It's with this particular vehicle that we're going to replace we're going to be kind of eclipsing that 1010 year front line status but that's what we strive for strive for.

[41:33] The current engine that we're looking to replace is engine three.

[41:36] One is how is your fire station one it for 2017 we staff it with three people currently we have 68,000 plus miles on it.

[41:43] It's nine years old so with the current build times of 3 to 4 years we're looking at it being 12 to 13 years old by the time that we get the new replacement and then we would have it in reserve status for eight plus years.

[41:57] The current rescue emblem rescue elements is also that we're looking to replace is rescue 31 that's housed also at fire station one.

[42:04] It has over 89,000 miles on it and so we're averaging about 12,000 miles.

[42:11] Our distance to our hospitals are a lot further than some of the other south bay cities.

[42:15] So unfortunately when they're gone, you know they're gone for a couple of hours at a time and the mileage is is increasing.

[42:21] It has a ten year service life.

[42:24] We strive for seven years front line three plus and reserve when we actually it's a year and a half build time from the time to get the chassis to the time we take delivery is about a year and a half to get a rescue ambulance and we're not changing

[42:39] anything on the rescue timelines.

[42:40] We're just going with the same specification that we have now.

[42:43] It seems to be working really well for us.

[42:47] Here's a couple just you know snapshot this was from earlier in 2026.

[42:50] Some have just recent purchases of fire engines that pierce has different cities and in the general area just to kind of get an idea and the quantities that they're so the cost of an engine the current cost is 1.3 million over that if we we

[43:07] have the money in the current coming replacement schedule and so there's no impact to the general fund for the replacement of the engine.

[43:18] So we have two different options that pierce offers.

[43:22] One is a pre-payment option which is a they give you a prepayment discount of approximately $177,000.

[43:28] You basically pay the entire amount upfront they you a discount on that vehicle.

[43:35] Option two is you pay it for the full price of the vehicle, the time of delivery so approximate 3 to 4 year build time and so the the staff recommends that but that does not qualify for the prepayment we recommend and this has gone through the

[43:50] finance committee and basically what we would do is we would take the allocated funds and the equipment replacements invested in a treasury bond director.

[44:01] Chang and the finance committee determined that we could potentially be looking at a 4.3% return on that investment.

[44:09] So depending on that scale of whether it's going to be closer to three years or four years, we could get up to about $250,000 in that investment.

[44:16] And so rather than giving to pierce we can invest the money ourselves and potentially make more than what they're offering a prepayment discount.

[44:26] So the cost of risky amounts is $359,085.

[44:33] There was a in january they did have a $7,000 price increase.

[44:36] We do have the funds for this an equipment replacement schedule as well with no impact to the general fund.

[44:44] So in conclusion fire departments are requesting the city council authorize the purchase of a fire engine and a rescue ordinance then available for any questions lots of questions.

[45:04] I have one if we're currently taking some of our strike team funding and reappropriate it to the or reallocating it to equipment replacement previously were we realizing those in the general fund correct so we were offsetting overtime hours

[45:16] that was part of our overtime savings with those but now we're taking those out and in a different account.

[45:24] So there's so the the from what I understand the the reimbursement reimburses for the personnel that are out on the strike team it reimburses for the backfill for them here at the fire station and then a portion of that cost is the apparatus

[45:38] so just the portion that is that we calculate so by way of example the palisades we had two engines out at two different times and the cost reimbursed from that incident it was $50,000 per vehicle so that just the 50,000 for each vehicle was

[45:53] routed back into the equipment replacement fund.

[45:57] That and the other costs go back to the general.

[46:01] No, I know but we as a city we were we were putting those on our general part of our of our ledger and now we're taking some of that.

[46:06] We're reducing the general fund reimbursement and moving it to equipment I believe so I don't know.

[46:15] Yes.

[46:16] I mean I see the different conversation but on the calculation that we make on on unplanned overtime any other kinds of questions on this?

[46:24] I do want to point out that that I think this augurs well on to some of the the hard stance we've taken with some of these equipment manufacturers.

[46:30] These terms are far more generous than what we were offered last year in terms of pay and timing and I think that that cities broadly are dialed in a bit to some of the market pressures put on by it's not a monopoly but it's a it's close to

[46:46] it on some of these equipment supplies but with that does anyone want to make a motion on this because we've got to do something so I'm happy to make a motion to move away unless because rodriguez a couple that motion to approve the request

[47:06] I think there's some option options for the option one or two.

[47:13] Well okay.

[47:13] So then I guess the question didn't finance review this and you want to speak to that they did bring it to the finance committee and.

[47:20] It was determined that by investing these funds we by agreeing to sign the contract we lock in the price we paid them in advance.

[47:28] It's only 10%.

[47:29] We think we can do better on a bond.

[47:31] The money will still be secured.

[47:32] So the finance recommendation let's keep the money invested but sign the contract so we lock in this price because it's going to be three or four years before this thing is delivered so that was the recommendation from finance on the options

[47:44] was to let's keep our money in our pocket and save it as opposed to just paying it upfront.

[47:51] Yeah apologies I jumped the gun but I would follow the recommendation of the finance committee in regard second tranche.

[48:01] The second I believe that that's that motion is to pay at time of delivery on the engine by rescue ambulance now yeah yeah all those in favor I both know poro look at that you got the first full row on buying a red machine quite a while we appreciate

[48:17] the support all the charts it's upside down right.

[48:24] I'll bring more charts next time.

[48:27] Thanks.

[48:27] Just don't paint them red.

[48:28] They'll cost three times as much.

[48:29] All right, ten the investment portfolio report we put the cfo and city treasurer june evening mayor mayor pro tem, city council members we have a quick presentation for you tonight.

[48:43] The actual report itself which is part of the staff report is a 44 page document so it's with the staff report but we also uploaded on our city website so that's available as well for tonight for a presentation purposes we have a condensed version

[48:58] for you.

[48:59] With that said I do also have roberto our deputy city treasurer.

[49:04] He will take over some of the presentation slides as well just to give you kind of a flow of how we get to the quarterly investment report to the city council on a daily basis.

[49:16] Roberto dino and I we meet almost daily talking about how cash flow is where should we want to invest this money so we're more active on our investments to make sure we're not chasing yield but if we want to if we have avenues to want to invest

[49:28] further out or do we want to just put it in a in our liquid accounts we want to put in lay if we have that discussion and then on a monthly basis we meet with the city and the deputy city manager to give them the update on a monthly basis on

[49:42] our other investing report and then we actually take it we meet with the investment committee iirc on a quarterly basis which we just met a couple of weeks ago and then of course we finalize that and then we come to city council the quarterly

[50:01] presentation with that said we actually got some input from our investment committee past meeting roger had mentioned on this particular slide we were to just break out our reserve versus our liquid account.

[50:12] So what we did on this particular slide was we on the right side can see that our reserve accounts accompanies the government agency medium term notes municipal bond certificate of deposits or cds in the us treasury and then liquid bonds so

[50:26] liquid funds kind of that daily where we move our our funds in and out less than 24 hours so those accounts are from our accounts just can't leave cash we or our cash funds so we wanted to just delineate for presentation purposes with that fed

[50:43] for the month of july we had a portfolio value of $168.7 million and comprised of the various kind of breakdown here which roberto we're to a little more details in the subsequent slides but I wanted to just of emphasize as you see a series

[51:01] listening to us layoff just wanted to mention to the council that the past couple of months we've been putting a lot more money into leaf in that the yield was has been generating more than camp so we've been kind of shifting funds into our

[51:18] accounts.

[51:18] With that said, I'll turn it over to roberto for the remaining slide deck right.

[51:25] Thanks so much paul.

[51:26] As you saw in the pie chart, the portfolio is roughly divided between 120 and the reserve portfolio.

[51:34] These are medium and longer term investment positions that we have and about 50 million in the liquid portfolio.

[51:41] These are funds that we can access within 24 hours to meet any general needs we may have on a on a short term basis we prepared this key performance metrics slide for you just a high view of what's what's happening with respect to the portfolio

[51:55] starting with the yields.

[51:56] We keep a very close eye on what's happening in the markets particularly within treasuries.

[52:00] The the three year treasury at the end of july was 4.34 it's jumped so as of today it's actually up about 12 basis points.

[52:10] So it's it's experienced some some increases the weighted average portfolio yield of the portfolio for the city is at 4.15%.

[52:23] So a fairly close don't expect to to match the volatility of of everyday treasury movements but it is a good indicator that we're fairly close and we are taking advantage the rising yields by making new investments in terms of the portfolio

[52:39] size the number that I'll quoted you know the hundred and 68.7 is the book value that's the most conservative perspective that we present to you.

[52:49] I would also draw your attention to the market value currently standing at 170 and the par value 171 and we hold the investments to maturity so that's really the money we're going to get back eventually.

[53:01] We generally don't sell investments and we hold them to maturity in terms of activity within the portfolio leo we made a total of 4 million in new investments in the month of july we earned 500,000 in interest on our existing investments and

[53:20] we no maturities.

[53:25] This next slide summarizes the weighted average coupon yields across different security types on the left the the columns on the left I'll draw your attention to the top to the top chart this this reflects the coupon yields across security types.

[53:45] I would note that government and u.s.

[53:48] Treasury figures are look fairly low but I also note that we tend to invest treasuries when when that may in value due to rising interest rates.

[54:04] And so while the the the coupon of the these security types might might be below current market rates we purchased these securities that are at a discount and so at maturity will get the full investment and so the yield to on both government

[54:24] agencies and u.s.

[54:24] Treasuries is actually closer to 4% and on the right you'll see the liquid options and so paul mentioned, that that we had diverted some funds from camp into life as you can see leaf is slightly higher by about 66 basis points so we we do keep

[54:42] an eye on where where it's best to to to store our funds temporarily in these liquid options on the bottom chart the the orange columns represent the weighted average maturity again we we plan ahead from a cash flow perspective.

[54:57] We want to know how much is coming in how much we would expect to make helps us to to plan future investments across the portfolio the weighted average across all security types is between two and a half and three years.

[55:11] So that's that's why quoted that three year treasury position and on the far right the liquid options again no maturity there we can draw those as needed.

[55:21] Next we take a look at the investment portfolio maturity ladder and so on the left we have the the liquid security types we can draw on these funds that's you can see the scale in terms of how much we have in these respective holdings but the

[55:40] right hand side we have the reserve portfolio by maturity at different time periods and so we we feel we have a diversified maturity ladder where we have sufficient funds to to for anticipated future needs but we use these four for a capital

[55:59] planning purposes next we just wanted provide you with some information on the new investments we've made these the eight investments that we made during the month of july we invested in alphabet apple, bp capital markets.

[56:14] We bought a municipal bond from the state of connecticut.

[56:18] I would draw your attention to the yields so they're in the high force which is pretty good.

[56:22] So we these new investments are taking advantage these these rising rates and then we to diversify our holdings we diversified into we bought eight different certificates of deposit there's slightly higher yielding but we we we view it to be

[56:40] advantageous to be diversified across security types and again you'll note there they're all they're all a-rated which is what we invest in as per our investment policy and next we a m asset compliant slide so this this looks at the relative

[57:04] size of the portfolio across book value market value and par value which we've we've mentioned earlier in the presentation but then we also look at the weights of those various security types and then we compare them to what the thresholds are

[57:17] in our stated investment policy for the city.

[57:21] And so you can see that we are in full compliance from a from a investment threshold perspective and none our investments or individual investments are over 1%.

[57:33] So we're fairly diversified also across industrial sectors as well next we take a look at the rolling 13 month cash flow analysis.

[57:46] This is a simplified view of income cash flows for the city so income tax receipts on a month to month basis and we compare that to monthly expenditure and so credits represent incoming cash flows and tax tax receipts debits represent expenditures

[58:09] and so the city's cash flows have a certain cyclicality to them.

[58:14] And so starting in december we're actually in surplus which makes sense when we start getting the of property taxes and so we spend the first six months of a calendar year building up our reserves and that's what we see when when we're busy

[58:31] investing in and making new investments to to to put those those funds to work then the second half of the year is when we're in our deficit period receipts are light.

[58:43] We've you know the majority of business license takes place in that first half of the year as well and.

[58:49] So we plan for that and so we structure our maturity ladder to to meet these needs.

[58:57] June and july has been a period deficit period historically because that's when we pay back the pension obligation bond to the tune of $9 million.

[59:08] So we're always going to be in the red in june or july.

[59:13] The good news is in looking comparing july of this year compared to july of last year, we've narrowed the gap and we think this year we we we hope to close that gap over time and have less of a deficit as compared to last year and next we take

[59:35] a look at the broader u.s.

[59:36] Economy and we we look at the u.s.

[59:39] Treasury yield curve.

[59:42] This is a breakdown of respective treasury yields different duration types and so typically we have the upward sloping yield curve where if you invest in longer term treasuries you're expected to get a higher interest rate and that's what is

[1:00:01] allowing us to take advantage by making these longer term investments right.

[1:00:08] But in in the last year we actually had an inverted treasury curve.

[1:00:12] So the treasury curve is actually normalizing so what we had happening in july of 2025 was that there was actually an incentive in holding to more liquid assets.

[1:00:23] And so what we did in terms of an investment strategy is we have more in the liquid portfolio because it was in some cases yielding higher than if we were to invest in 3 to 5 year corporate bonds and so we took advantage of that dynamic .

[1:00:41] But this is this is what we use for for our analysis.

[1:00:45] And then finally to close it out, we we keep a close eye on the overall economy by looking the unemployment figures as well as inflation.

[1:00:56] We can see that unemployment is still around 4.1% so higher than than historic norms just by about by a hair one could say.

[1:01:06] And then inflation has been a bit of a mixed bag as as we all know.

[1:01:11] We saw prices jump earlier this year with conflict in the middle east.

[1:01:16] They tempered somewhat about two months ago.

[1:01:19] We're seeing we're seeing the prices rise again in the current month that we're in.

[1:01:23] So I would expect inflation potentially to tick upwards in in the august investment report but without pause to see if you have any questions or any consequence.

[1:01:45] Good look I will only I will add that you know dynamism in the treasury piece has been of the hallmark of the last five years and this is our first go round with an appointed treasurer and not an elected one and it's nice to see the returns

[1:01:59] are roughly the same and I half a million dollars last month that reflects our three year trend of pulling in an annual four and a half to 5.2 or whatever it's been.

[1:02:07] So it's a nice run but in a obviously equity market and the others are receiving final consensus.

[1:02:16] Yeah, okay keep it down.

[1:02:17] There we go.

[1:02:17] Appreciate it.

[1:02:21] All right.

[1:02:21] We have no committee commission in board presentations that we are over to reports city clerk I would like to let everybody know that today is e -63 which means we are 63 days away from the election campaign lawn signs will begin to go up on

[1:02:40] friday so look for those around town the county's initial mass mailing of vote by mail ballots occur on october 5th and our secure ballot box.

[1:02:51] It's open on the corner of holly and main will that day as well for people to return them and it will remain open until 8 p.m.

[1:02:59] On election day tuesday november 3rd the last day to register to vote or reregister to vote is the 19th of october.

[1:03:09] It actually is possible to register until election day.

[1:03:13] It gets a little bit more complicated.

[1:03:14] This is the seamless way to do it.

[1:03:17] You end up having a provisional ballot if you do it that way.

[1:03:21] So we recommend everybody please register or reregister by october 19th and once again very grateful to the el segundo library staff.

[1:03:29] They will be open as a polling place beginning saturday, october first and running through 8 p.m.

[1:03:36] On election day .

[1:03:40] Thank you.

[1:03:40] Thank you madam councilmember gilbert.

[1:03:43] No reports I guess I would just say and again for staff and working with the various committees to do a lot of work behind the scenes to make tonight pretty seamless so appreciate that.

[1:03:54] Also I don't know if we mentioned the 911 remembrance ceremony will be held at 9 a.m.

[1:04:01] In the courtyard thank you and we'll have we will have our fire department there obviously and really it off with the mural memorial that's being in the work so appreciate that and then thursday also going to historical society will the authors

[1:04:26] of the el segundo little league world series book second to none.

[1:04:28] Danny bowling kunin long time alaska under president and they will be signing books and speaking about the experience of that in the library at 6 p.m..

[1:04:39] Buried a detail there.

[1:04:43] I know right well I'm you know moderating it trying to do a little promo but councilmember drew nothing from me thank you mayor boudin yeah we had the finance committee meeting.

[1:04:56] We talked about the fire truck.

[1:04:57] We're still dealing with the fleets, the cars that the city have trying to figure out what's what's needed, what can be removed, what needs to be changed over to electric a state mandate and we're also looking at telephones and seeing how we

[1:05:13] can cut cost on why do we have so many landlines are these needed?

[1:05:16] A couple of ribbon cuttings that were a pretty phenomenal hive watch which has their office right here on main street as a technology security and then was a true network was a true connect true connect which is also took an entire building

[1:05:38] here in el segundo.

[1:05:38] It was nice to welcome them and have their ribbon cutting as well I thought answer thank you.

[1:05:44] The other true connect one was cool because that is part of the lifeline service you know providing cell phones to people who do not have a landline in case of emergency.

[1:05:52] There's federal program and I think it says something that one of the national administrators handled for 38 states is based right here from downtown.

[1:06:01] We'll tell you.

[1:06:01] That's right.

[1:06:02] They built they move right here from downtown l.a.

[1:06:04] Which they seem quite happy about.

[1:06:08] I don't blame them.

[1:06:09] One thing a small point of order on my part.

[1:06:10] I think we probably should have pointed out that there was a case for a miss stewart had asked about investigations.

[1:06:15] We cannot comment on those things so I don't want them to feel like as though they were being a few things to touch on one I see the chief is back there so I'm unlike on thursday you may have seen a convoy of police cars and two motorcycles

[1:06:29] attempting to sneak of town with sergeant branded browning .

[1:06:36] He only was here for 29 years and tried to on out of town.

[1:06:41] I think I would be remiss and not say to thank him for his service to us.

[1:06:46] We took him like we used to be a broad tradition he came from the sheriff's department this time in o.c.

[1:06:49] I think he did for years there but he was our most recent celebrity police officer because we sent him promptly to be undercover auto theft recovery officer in which he got to be the unwitting star of bait car which I think is still on usa networks.

[1:07:07] If you would like I make light of it but it was very touching chief.

[1:07:15] Thank you for putting on a ceremony for him.

[1:07:16] He was trying to leave totally the radar.

[1:07:18] I think he was touched as well he should be his his incredibly patient wife I know was touched that we've put on something for him.

[1:07:26] So I think it's important to have someone who dedicate that much service to it and I know he's not leaving law enforcement entirely.

[1:07:32] He's going over I believe to l.a.

[1:07:35] County sheriffs to work as a civilian investigator over there on their side but I thought it was great to see him.

[1:07:39] Great to see him go out.

[1:07:39] Great to see some of the pageantry and I think that it sometimes is need for the residents to see when people spend so much time dedicating service to us that we can put time to celebrating them even if it's wholly against their will.

[1:07:52] Also we had on urban land hosted a big event in santa monica that we got to participate in with long beach and inglewood and culver city and a big feature of that was to work with developers.

[1:08:08] We had so much trouble getting multifamily off the ground in some of our developments it's up to the to get architects, engineers, developers, site managers together and talk about what the opportunities are, how the different cities approach

[1:08:17] it and we look at things and what challenges we see locally and how we seek to overcome them.

[1:08:23] Obviously each of those cities has a very different geography and all of those things but it is great to have, you know, most of the 250 people in the room deputy city manager boss join me for that was really neat thing also on the development

[1:08:35] side we got to welcome campus worldwide which is a glorious building hidden on the east side of the frank gehry that's hidden over there.

[1:08:45] It is it is big 300 employees inside.

[1:08:46] It is a pageantry of color and light.

[1:08:48] It looks like a shoebox from the outside on the inside it is really, really remarkable and.

[1:08:56] It's indoor outdoor for the cafeteria like it was like can we can we have meetings over here?

[1:09:00] We go to unbelievable.

[1:09:03] We get to the topping out for the sparks which was awesome because that building is incredible testament to a best in class sports facility and.

[1:09:10] I think there's a really cool story that will be out on that.

[1:09:12] I think we'll get a cool story in the l.a.

[1:09:15] Times about our development and we welcomed which is a novel mining apparatus that is being tested for freeport-mcmoran there are one that you cited a bunch of georgia tech guys who moved into town and forge atomics is 25 megawatts for package

[1:09:33] nuclear that they're going to do all the design over there by trade and it's just really cool to see a company like that they sort of trust us with those things with the homelessness task force on thursday not a whole lot on that on military

[1:09:46] spend but a lot of new programing that they talked about that is going to be funded by missouri and that is all I have city attorney, thank you, major.

[1:10:01] Yes, mayor, just a brief I update since our last council meeting received 11 odor complaints issued no notices of violation on august 26th and 27th hyperion conducted its semiannual audit the fenceline monitoring system monitoring stations temporarily

[1:10:25] taken off line they completed the audit.

[1:10:29] There were no odor impacts during this time and then also hyperion canceled the community forums scheduled for august 20th.

[1:10:37] The rescheduled for tonight.

[1:10:40] But we spoke to them and they're going to reschedule on a non council evening so we'll get back to the community with that date.

[1:10:49] I also have meetings set up for next week with the new general manager hyperion and then also will be meeting next week with the general manager of lower l.a.
