3. OPEN AGENDA-PUBLIC COMMENT WELCOME
David Walbeck of the Los Angeles County Sanitation District worked for the District for 33 years at the
facility in Carson. He brought along his co-workers with him. Mr. Walbeck said that after 2 years of
negotiating the labor contract with management, on April 23 the employees ratified the contract and
referred the contract to the Sanitation Directors for approval. Mr. Walbeck noted that while Rolling
Hills has a small part of the city connected to the District, the City has one vote on the Board as with
larger cities. Mr. Walbeck saw Council member Wilson at a previous meeting but inquired if Ms.
Mirsch is the current Director from Rolling Hills. Mr. Walbeck said he is seeking the Director's support
in approving the labor agreement at the Wednesday, May 22 Director's meeting in Whittier. The
contract maintains status quo and the employees have been paying their share of the 7% contribution to
Ca1PERS.
Mayor Mirsch noted that later in the agenda, the representative to the Sanitation Distrct will be
discussed and Councilmember Wilson will continue to serve in that capacity.
Alfred Visco thanked staff for responding to his email but he had sent one as recent as 6pm. In
reviewing Title 17, Mr. Visco was not able to determine the triggers for administrative review or
discretionary review. Mr. Visco believed that the City should remove the Water Efficiency Landscape
Ordinance from the consent calendar and place it back in the agenda for action. The proposed ordinance
does not comply with the Sta.te's 2015 MWELO nor is it appropriate for staff to spend time on it. Mr.
Visco advised the City Council to adopt the 2015 MWELO, as is to keep it simple.
Gordon Inman requested the City Council to provide an extension of few more weeks to remove his dog
from the City.

permits.
Councilmember Dieringer inquired if the requested variances could have been addressed earlier in the
project process.
Planning Director Schwartz responded that several changes came later in the process. Initially blocl�
walls were proposed as in many other places in Rolling Hills and it wasn't until the project went through
building permits did the engineers determine that the block wa11s would not work and MSE walls would
be needed.

7. OLD_BUSINESS
A. CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH WILLDAN ENGINEERING FOR THE SANITARY SEWER
IMPROVEMENT FEASIBILITY STUDY PHASE 3 AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY
; MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT FOR AN AMOUNT NOT-TO-
EXCEED $32,420.
City Manager Jeng noted that the first phase of the feasibility study was presented to the City Council in
October 2018 and at that time City Council capped the budget for Phase II study at $32,000. The
current cost of Phase II study exceeds this amount by $420 and it is the reason for presenting this item to
City Council today. City Manager Jeng also noted that there may be questions as to the activities on this
matter between October of last year to today. The initial proposal for Phase II study provided by
Willdan exceeded the cap by a lot. Staff went through the proposal with Willdan and refined it to
eliminate excess meetings. In December the engineer assigned to the Phase II study retired
unexpectedly. A new project manager was assigned to the project and staff worked with the new project
manager to establish milestones to ensure no overrun in the project schedule. City Manager also noted
that there is sufficient money in the Utility Fund to pay for the overage of Phase II study.
Councilmember Dieringer inquired if there is concerns about Willdan being able to perform on this
agreement given the delay thus far and issues relating to the sewer annexation to the County.
City Manager Jeng responded with the new Project Manager from Willdan, staff focused on establishing
milestones for accountability. The milestones spell out the City's responsibility when receiving a
deliverable and the consultant's responsibility in the deliveries of work product. City Manager Jeng
expressed that she is comfortable with the new Project manager to keep each party in check. The
annexation project experienced issues with the coordination with the LA County Sanitation District.
4 The County asked for data and Willdan in turn requests the data from City staff so there were issues
with data possession. The annexation project is expected to be complete within the month.
Councilmember Dieringer inquired where in the contract is the accountability mentioned?
City Manager Jeng noted that Willdan's proposal is made a part of the agreement. The proposal lists
milestones and the required actions of the consultant.

City Council Meeting
OS-13-19 -3-
Councilmember Wilson noted that Vanessa Munoz's name is in the contract and inquired if Vanessa has
been elevated in the company? And will she continue to be the traffic engineer for the Traffic
Commission.
City Manager Jeng responded that yes, Vanessa Munoz has been elevated in her company and she now
oversees the Utility Division of Willdan. There is no discussion of Vanessa moving away from serving
the Traffic Commission.
Mayor Mirsch called for public comments.
Richard Colyear urged the City Council to delay the approval of the Willdan contract. On May 23, he
had a meeting with Yolanta and Elaine to go over the earlier contract. Everyone has left Willdan.
Clearly sewer is not Willdan's strong suit. Mr. Colyear recommended that other people could do this
work. The objective to hook up to an existing sewer line is good but unless there is compelling urgency,
the approval of the contract should be delayed for 2 weeks.
City Manager Jeng noted that the City Council is seeking to commence this study. The tennis courts
improvement is looking into this study to deternune if existing septic tank needs replacement, however
delaying the contract approval for two weeks would not have major impacts.
Mayor Mirsch closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Black noted that we need to stop throwing good money after bad. The bathroom and
the sink will cost millions of dollars. Councilmember Black noted that Mr. Colyear's connection took 8-
9 years. The City gave a good effort but the $30,000 should be put towards a new septic tank.
Mayor Pro Tem Pieper inquired the cost to construction the sewer main. The previous figure provided
was $600,000. At some point in time they won't allow us to construct septic tanks anymore. At the
tennis courts, the pipes to the sewer main should be roughed in and wait for the sewer main to be
constructed. Mayor Pro Tem Pieper did not see value in installing a new septic tank for$200,000.
City Manager Jeng provided a construction estimate of $1M - $1.SM for the 8" sewer main down
Portuguese Bend Road to Lariat Lane. She also noted that there is an existing sink at the tennis courts
that is not hooked up to a discharge pipe. Absent of a restroom, the existing septic tank needs to be
replaced due to the need to hook up the existing sink. The septic tank is under the purview of the LA
County Public Health. There is a residential septic tank division and a commercial septic tank division
in Public Health. Presently, the septic tank at the tennis courts is considered a residential septic tank but
City Manager Jeng does not know if it will continue to be considered residential if the guardhouse, the
new restroom at the tennis court, and the kitchen is connected to it. The area between City Hall and the
Association building is the leach field for the septic tanks. If there are plans to expand City Hall, the
space would not be usable until the septic tank is removed. These are long term plans and
considerations for the City Council.
Councilmember Wilson shared Mayor Pro Tem Pieper's sentiments that the City is not in a good
position to go forward with the sewer main or to continue on septic tank.
Mayor Pro Tem Pieper noted he is not in support of spending $1M-$1.SM for the sewer main.
Councilmember Dieringer suggested delaying the item to the next meeting to explore options. She
inquired is there any way to fix the existing septic tank.
Mayor Mirsch inquired Jef�s comment about the Association paying for the septic tank. If the
Association moves forward with the tennis court project, is the cost on the City to replace the septic
tank.
City Manager Jeng noted that the agreement between the Association and the City is the improvement
cost would be split evenly between the two parties, only if the Ciry uses the tennis courts.
Councilmember Black noted that the Association has to be the lead in the project.

B. CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF ENGINEERING PLANS AND
SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE CITY HALL PARKING LOT AND PORTUGUESE
BEND ROAD BETWEEN PALOS VERDES DRIVE NORTH TO ENTRY GATES;
CONSIDERATION AND APPR�VAL OF RESOLUTION 1237, ASSIGNMENT TO
THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS ESTATES ITS AVAILABLE PROPOSITION C
TRANSPORTATION FUNDS; AND CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF
RESOLUTION 1238 APPROVING ALLOCATION OF MEASURE M AND
MEASURE R FUNDS TOWARDS RESURFACING OF PAVEMENT IN AND
AROUND THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS CITY HALL CAMPUS AREA AND THE
SEGMENT OF PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD FROM THE MAIN GATE TO PALOS
VERDES DRIVE NORTH.
City Manager Jeng noted this item contains several follow up actions by the way of resolutions.
Resolution 1237 assigns Proposition C funds to the City of Rolling Hills Estates. Resolution 1238
allocates Measure M and R monies towards the City Hall parking lot project. City Manager Jeng
provided a brief update on the project. She also noted staff is requesting approval of the plans and
specifications and to direct staff to put the project out to bid. The City of Rolling Hills Estates is the
lead agency and if approved, will be doing so on Rolling Hills' behalf. Willdan Engineer is the engineer
of record and serve as construction manager for the project. The bid is scheduled to come in on May 20,
2019. The Council dedicated $120,000. The engineering design cost is $22,800, $97,200 is dedicated to
construction.
Councilmember Black inquired if the ADA improvement shown is the path from Palos Verdes Drive
North.
Discussion ensued on the location of the ADA pathway identified in the plans. City Manager Jeng
clarified and described the subject path as the path outside of the three rail fence and different from the
horse trail. She also noted that the path will not be able to comply with the ADA requirements however
efforts will be made as part of this project to get as close to meeting the ADA requirements as best as
possible. The physical and budgetary constraints will be documented in record file.
Councilmember Black inquired if the work includes making the city parking lot ADA compliant.
City Manager Jeng noted that per the City's draft ADA transition plan, it calls for improvements at the
parking lot and the engineering plans includes improvements called out in the draft ADA transition plan.
Mayor Mirsch inquired if the bid were to come in higher than the $98,000, will we not consider doing
the project? And what is the duration of construction?
City Manager Jeng noted that if the Rolling Hills' portion of the work was bid out as an alternate bid, if
the City decided not to move forward, the decision would not impact Rolling Hills Estates. If the bid
comes in higher than the available budget, sta.ff recommends to use next year's Measure M and R
allocations as the City have no other uses for the funds. The project calls for night work or weekend
work. To avoid disturbing the surrounding residents with nighttime grinding work, the work is likely to
, be on the weekend and that is only 2 days of work, per week and may increase the duration time of
work.
Discussion ensued on the higher cost of weekend, night work and the potential construction duration and
impacts.
Mayor Pro Tem Pieper suggested to conduct work at the same time Pa1os Verdes Drive North is
rehabbed.

C. CONSIDERATION OF OPTIONS FOR SOLID WASTE SERVICES BEGINNING
JULY 1, 2020
Ray Grothaus, General Manager of Republic Services said that he came onboard in Los Angeles about
13 months ago and encountered service issues at Rolling Hills. Mr. Grothaus noted that he has been
meeting with Elaine to look at options to keep the existing service level and options to extend the
contract. The current contract is upside down. In the 2008 recession, CPI hit all-time lows while labar
rates went up. Mr. Crrothaus expressed that he did not want to lose the business and offered an 8 year
contract with the first year rate adjustment of 9.65% in 2020 and a fixed 4.25% increase for years 2021
through 2027. The proposed contract will take a few years to allow Republic to net even. Mr. Grothaus
covered upcoming mandates AB1594 and SB1383 and considered establish rates to address these
mandates but the regulations for these mandates are not finalized. Mr. Grothaus proposed to establish
rates to meet these mandates when the regulations are available and ask the City Council to consider rate
increase to meet these mandates at that time. Mr. Grothaus also noted that the City is meeting
CalRecycle's diversion rate per capita partly due to Republic's contract requirement of 50% diversion of
what they collect. Although these are two different measures. Republic reduced the diversion
percentage of collection to be able to sharpen their pencil to provide the rates aforementioned.
Discussions ensued on capturing green waste brought into the city.
Mr. Grothaus said that he will reach out to Travers to find out their reporting structure. The green waste
diversion may have already been captured at the source. Additionally, Mr. Grothaus noted that there are
bad actors taking waste to landfills and falsely reporting waste generated from the City. The corrections
on these false reports could help with diversion rates. Mr. Grothaus suggested to review the contract
periodically if additional diversion credit or opportunities can be captured.
Mayor Pro Tem requested Republic to think outside of the box to get as much diversion credit as
possible.
Councilmember Wilson inquired if there are vehicle requirements and the usage of electric trucks.
Mr. Grothaus responded that the company will use 10 year useful life to fully depreciate the asset for the
life of the contract. The scooter truck is $50,000 each. Republic is deploying electric trucks but it is in
its infancy stage.
City Manager inquired with Mr. Grothaus about cost sharing the consultant fee to negotiate and draft
contract terms.
Minutes
City Council Meeting
OS-13-19 -6-
Mr. Grothaus agreed to split the cost of the consulting fee to negotiate and draft contract terms.
City Manager outlined the rate options presented previously and asked the City Council for direction for
next steps.
Mayor Mirsch called for public comments. There were no public comments.
Mayor Mirsch suggested that the Solid Waste Committee consider the item.
City Manager Jeng noted that Mayor Mirsch and Councilmember Wilson is on the Solid Waste
Committee.
Councilmember Black inquired if the City Council wants to go with one of the options presented by
Republic and why would the City need a consultant.
Mr. Grothaus noted no contract look alike. Mr. Grothaus also noted that the contribution to the
consulting fee is out of pocket.
Mayor Pro Tem Pieper noted that if the consultant is not used then the City would use the City
Attorney's office to draft the contract.
Councilmember Wilson inquired with Mr. Grothaus if he is willing to continue to serve the City even
after the contract expires.
Mr. Grothaus will continue to serve the city beyond the expiration of the contract.
Councilmember Dieringer suggested to explore other service providers. She likes competition.
Mr. Grothaus offered to open their books on a committee level because Rolling Hills has unique services
and it would be difficult to compare with other service contracts.
Mayor Mirsch called for public comments. There were no public comments.
Mayor Mirsch moved that the Solid Waste Committee take on the matter and report out to the full
Council. Councilmember Black seconded the motion and the motion carried without objection by a
voice vote as follows:
AYES: COLTNCILMEMBERS: Mayor Mirsch, Pieper, Dieringer,Black and Wilson.
NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: None.
ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: None.
ABSTAIN: COUNCILMEMBERS: None.
D. CONSIDERATION OF A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU) WITH
ROLLING HILLS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION TO COST SHARE DESIGN FEES
ASSOCIATED WITH ASSESSMENT DISTRICT PROJECTS
City Manager Jeng reported that this item has come to the City Council for the third time. The last time
it came to the City Council, the Association Board did not take action on the MOU. Also
Councilmember Dieringer also had suggested edits which had been incorporated. The Association has
since approved the MOU.
Councilmember Wilson inquired the wording speaking to the $50,000.
Deputy City Attorney Abzug clarified the obligations of the City and the Association, The fee
contribution from each party would be 1/3 of the total cost of the design fees for each assessment district
project. If the total design cost is $150,000, the City's contribution would be $�0,000 and the
Association's contribution would be $50,000.
City Manager Jeng reminded the City Council the previous discussion setting the cap on the City and
Association's contribution limit.

Discussion ensued on the size of assessment projects and potential design fees.
Councilmember Dieringer pointed out that the provisions of 1 c and 2c need to be amended in order to

the remaining balance after the City and Association's contributions at the capped amount.
Mayor Mirsch called for public comments. There were no public comments.
