City Council from front page
to allow them, then “we’ll have hundreds”
of them. “Do we want de facto hotels in our
residential neighborhoods?” she asked. Eisman
thought it was key to limit the number of days
on short-term rentals, but also indicated that
“home-sharing is different” and an acceptable
situation when the property is owner-occupied.
Mayor Suzanne Fuentes stated that she
doesn’t want El Segundo to be the only city
in the South Bay that allows short-term rentals.
Councilmember Mike Dugan said zoning
is the issue. “Did I buy a house in an R-1
neighborhood to be next to a short-term rental?
Absolutely not,” he said. “Transients do not
belong in an R-1 neighborhood.”
Mayor Pro Tem Drew Boyles emphasized
that the City has only received one complaint
about short-term rentals—the Virginia house in
question. He said that most people he spoke
with during his Council campaign were in favor
of short-term rentals and wanted “the flexibility
of Airbnb for their properties.”
Councilmember Carol Pirsztuk was open to
the permitting concept and wanted to look into
the idea of limiting the rentals to owner-occupied
properties. She suggested canvassing neighborhoods
to see if the rentals are in one room or
taking up the entire house. Councilmember
Don Brann thought the City should study the
issue more, but opined that it has “the potential
to wreck the quality of life” in town. With no
clear consensus as yet, staff will come back in
January with an update after more input from
the SBCOG, additional research, and outreach
with local short-term rental property owners.
Also on Tuesday, the Council unanimously
agreed to extend the moratorium on permit issuance
for marijuana-related land uses in town
another year (to November 14, 2018) to allow
time to monitor data and consult with other cities
and states. The City already has a permanent
ban in place that prohibits business licenses for
commercial marijuana sales as well as outdoor
cultivation in town and delivery within the
community. However, the provisions of Prop
64 that passed last November allow limited
possession inside the home (up to six plants).
The State of California was set to begin issuing
licenses for retail marijuana establishments
in January, but City Attorney Mark Hensley
reported that the process may be delayed. He
added that many other factors are still up in the
air, such as how to enforce those driving under
the influence since there isn’t a standardized test
as there is for blood alcohol level. Also, there
is talk of creating a special banking system for
retail marijuana since it is still illegal on the
federal level and is currently a cash business.
The Council agreed to set the City up to
participate in the PARS Post-Employment
Benefits Program to potentially pre-fund pension
obligations. Among other advantages, the
plan offers increased risk diversification
of assets, allows more City oversight and
control of fund management selection, and
has lower management and administrative
expenses compared to CalPERS. Speaking of
CalPERS, Mayor Pro Tem Boyles and Finance
Director Joseph Lillio will attend a workshop
and board meeting for the agency in Sacramento
next week to discuss pension issues
and the impacts on cities including El Segundo.
During reports, Councilmember Brann looked
to build up participation in the “struggling”
Arts and Culture Advisory Committee, which
is down to four members despite being slotted
for 11. In hopes of reducing red tape and to
expedite appointees, Brann suggested that committee
members themselves interview and vote
for candidates. The Council would then make
the official appointments without conducting
additional interviews—unless it specifically
decides to do so. Brann’s colleagues were
not in favor of the idea, feeling they wish to
remain in the interview loop. Meanwhile the
Council will interview (and potentially appoint)
two new applicants on November 21,
with four more candidates on the horizon to
bring membership up to 10. Committee Chair
Sally Martin said she has no problem with the
Council conducting the interviews, but wants it
to be a priority to quickly get membership back
up to the needed number to tackle the many
projects on the docket. Earlier during public
communications, resident Jim Boulgarides
thought it was a “terrifically bad idea” to allow
committee members to conduct the interviews.
He felt it could result in “little fiefdoms” in
the community with no accountability.
During presentations, Police Chief Bill
Whelan introduced two recent graduates from
the LA Sheriff’s Academy. Matthew Rice and
Rodolfo “Rudy” Reynosa will finish their
training in five to six months and become
El Segundo Police officers. The City also
proclaimed November 20 through December
20 as the period for this year’s Spark of Love
toy drive. A tradition since the early ‘90s,
the program provides a way for residents and
businesses to donate toys and non-perishable
foods to the Fire Station 1 (314 Main Street)
to help those less fortunate during the holidays.
And finally on another holiday-related note,
Scot Nicol addressed the Council representing
residents of 1100 block of Acacia to report
impacts from the annual Candy Cane Lane
that occurs on the 1200 block of the same
street. Nicol spoke of people being hit by cars
as well as property damage. Possible solutions
include a one-way traffic option and putting
up temporary street blockades. The item will
return to the Council in the near future. •
