City of Culver City, California
Redevelopment Agency Agenda Item Report
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council and the Culver City Redevelopment Agency
approve an amendment to an existing tri-party Professional Services Agreement
with Jamie Greenberg for graphic design services.
BACKGROUND:
Culver City has quickly become a destination in recent years. The revitalized
Downtown area and the many cultural opportunities have contributed to attracting
more visitors and more publicity for the City. The Redevelopment Agency has
recognized the importance of professional graphic services as a means of further
branding the identity of Culver City. Competitive marketing materials are a factor in
drawing patrons to the City’s businesses and cultural events thereby providing
positive economic impact and publicity.
Jamie Greenberg is currently contracted to provide graphic design services for the
City and Agency Cultural Affairs work programs and for the Agency’s Economic
Development work programs. Funding for the services is available within these
Agency and City-approved work programs.
Graphic design services require specialized skills and software. Ms. Greenberg is a
graduate of the USC School of Fine Arts and was recommended by Big Imagination
Group which is a marketing company in Culver City. She utilizes the Adobe Creative

Suite for marketing materials which includes the programs of Photoshop, Illustrator
and In Design. Ms. Greenberg has a Culver City Business Tax Certificate.
Ms. Greenberg communicates primarily through email and is responsible for the
following daily tasks:
• Reviewing projects with staff and receiving staff-developed text;
• Developing graphic and document lay-out for promotional material utilizing
approved text;
• Creating consistency in design to further brand Culver City through cultural
and economic materials;
• Adjusting text and graphics throughout the staff approval process;
• Developing materials such as event flyers, e-flyers, and ads as well as maps
and informational items for the Business Resource Center; and
• Coordinating with Culver City-based printing companies to determine cost
estimates and production deadlines.
DISCUSSION:
City and Agency contracts with Ms. Greenberg were implemented in April 2008 for
graphic design services. Each contract was in the amount of $10,000, according to
funding source, and was approved administratively. The contract funds for the
Agency have now been expended and the contract funds for the City (through the
Art Fund) will soon be expended as well.
The services are proposed to be provided at Ms. Greenberg’s existing hourly rate of
$35. Ms. Greenberg is responsible for absorbing the costs to maintain the
necessary software programs. Funding for this Tri Party Agreement is estimated as
follows:
City-funded Cultural Affairs Work Programs (Art Fund):
• Performing Arts Grants $ 4,000
• ARTWALK Culver City $ 4,500

Redevelopment Agency Agenda Item Report
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council Introduce an Ordinance amending Chapter 9.04
of Title 9 of the Culver City Municipal Code (CCMC), entitled “Nuisances,” to modify
property maintenance standards and to update the procedures for administrative
due process abatement of Public Nuisances; and, amending Chapter 1.01 of Title
1 to relocate the definition of the composition of the Municipal Code Appeals
Committee from Chapter 9.04,.
BACKGROUND:
[Note: This item originally appeared on the City Council agenda for the March
16, 2009 City Council meeting. This item was continued to this date to allow
for additional notification and due to a technical difficulty which impacted the
ability of interested parties to view this report and attachments on the City’s
website.]
In August 2008, staff reported to City Council on the status of the new Enforcement
Services Division and discussed enforcement standards and thresholds for property
maintenance. At that time Council gave direction to staff as to the thresholds for
property maintenance standards enforcement, and staff advised Council that staff
would return at a future date with a proposed amendment to the CCMC for review by
Council. (Attachment 1)

the Culver City Municipal Code, Entitled “Nuisances,” to Modify Property
Maintenance Standards and to Update the Procedures for Administrative Due

Redevelopment Agency Agenda Item Report
The Enforcement Services Division conducts proactive and reactive enforcement
activities. Proactive enforcement occurs if a property front or side yard contains
chairs, tables, boxes, equipment, tools, lumber, debris and trash cans stored in
driveways or yard areas, grass that has overgrown about 6”, inoperable vehicles
parked in the driveway, vehicles with flat tires and without regular cleaning or when a
dwelling has areas where paint is peeling and fading, all visible from the public right-
of-way. Enforcement Services staff initiates contact with the resident or property
owner regarding such conditions and asks that the condition be corrected. Reactive
enforcement occurs when an investigation is initiated by a complaint.
The interim enforcement strategy implemented by the Enforcement Services
Division as directed by Council will not be affected by any modifications to the
property maintenance ordinance. This strategy involved enforcing all property
maintenance complaints ranging from simple deferred maintenance to more
extensive derelict property conditions, including documenting violations observed in
the field, notifying property owners of violations and providing a date certain to
correct the condition(s). Where enforcement includes properties with many deferred
maintenance conditions which may have existed for an extended time period, a
“work-out program” is established. Staff will continue to assist the owner by
scheduling completion of the required corrective measures over a reasonable length
of time.
Enforcement on abandoned and neglected properties throughout the City has met
with very positive results. Overgrown vegetation, illegal dumping and graffiti have
been removed from vacant properties through collaboration with property owners
and other City departments.
Complaints such as graffiti, illegal dumping in the public right-of-way and abandoned
shopping carts continue to be immediately reported to the responsible department,
shopping cart retrieval company or other responsible party. Enforcement Services
also monitors the new complaint hotline where the community can leave detailed
information on the location of abandoned shopping carts and illegal signs in the
public right-of way. The hotline is checked twice daily and a log of all calls to the
hotline is maintained in the Division.
DISCUSSION:
Staff reviewed the existing property maintenance standards in the Culver City
Municipal Code ("CCMC"), which are contained in Chapter 9.04 “Nuisances,” to
determine if the standards were sufficient to address the previously voiced concerns
and the direction of the Council. (Chapter 9.04 is attached in its entirety as
Attachment 2). Staff recognized that existing language in the CCMC could be
modified to enhance the existing standards to ensure a clear understanding of City of Culver City, California
Redevelopment Agency Agenda Item Report
conditions that constitute a violation, better compliance with the standards, and the
prevention of blighting conditions.
Over 60 percent of the City’s total land use is residential, and over half is comprised
of single-family development. This means a great portion of the enforcement
activities are concentrated in residentially zoned areas. The issues in these single-
family areas are primarily the protection and enhancement of neighborhood
character. However, the property maintenance standards are not limited to
residential property.
Chapter 9.04 is currently divided into 4 subchapters: General Provisions, Graffiti,
Property Maintenance, and Administrative Charges. Property maintenance
standards are currently referenced in several of the sections of the General
Provisions subchapter, as well as in the Property Maintenance subchapter. The
proposed ordinance clarifies and updates the property maintenance standards by
moving them all under the heading of General Provisions. The current subchapter
on Graffiti remains the same except for renumbering.
Next, the new subchapter on Administrative Procedures for Abatement of Nuisances
replaces the abatement procedures contained in both the current General Provisions
and the current Property Maintenance subchapters. Another new subchapter has
also been added to address the recordation of a notice of substandard property, and
for the recovery of code enforcement fees and attorney’s fees, as well as other
general provisions.
The current subchapters on Property Maintenance and Administrative Charges will
be deleted, since the issues contained in these subchapters are addressed in the
new ordinance. The provision in Section 9.04.425, pertaining to the composition of
the Municipal Code Appeals Committee (“MCAC”), is being moved to the General
Provisions in Chapter 1.01. Staff recommends that public nuisance appeal hearings
set out in the new ordinance are heard by an impartial hearing officer rather than by
the MCAC.
The proposed changes to Chapter 9.04 are as follows:
General Provisions
A. Section 9.04.005, Purpose, has been amended to reflect the overall
intent of the Chapter.
B. Section 9.04.010, Penalty, has been deleted; the penalty provisions
are now included in Section 9.04.040. New Section 9.04.010 sets
forth the definitions which apply to the Chapter.
C. Sections 9.04.015 “Prohibited Public Nuisance Conditions on Real
Property” is new, and sets forth a comprehensive list of property
maintenance standards, and makes any violation of the standards a City of Culver City, California
Redevelopment Agency Agenda Item Report
public nuisance. (Previously, property maintenance standards were
contained in Sections 9.04.400 and 9.04.405. The requirements
were general in some cases and may be subject to varying
interpretation. Additionally, staff had reviewed property
maintenance codes from surrounding cities to determine if the
CCMC was comparable to other codes when describing conditions
that may constitute a violation and which would clearly apply to
conditions that may exist. Sections 9.04.400 and 9.04.405 were
adopted in 1965, and no modifications to these sections have been
made since their original adoption.)
D. Three sections detailing various prohibited nuisance conditions
remain the same:
(1) Section 9.04.020 “Nuisances Declared and Prohibited”;
(2) Section 9.04.025 “Nuisances Affecting Public Safety,
Dangerous Conditions, Fire Hazards and the Like;” and
(3) Section 9.04.030 “Nuisances Affecting Health; Contaminated
Materials.”
E. Section 9.04.035 “Application for Permit” remains the same;
F. Section 9.04.040, “Nuisance Prohibited” has been amended to
include the penalty provisions.
G. Section 9.04.045, “Conditions Precedent for Imposition of City Lien”
has been deleted. Abatement liens in favor of the City are
addressed in new subchapter 9.04.100 et seq. entitled
“Administrative Procedures for Abatement of Nuisances.” New
Section 9.04.045 sets forth the maintenance standards for vacant
properties, which are in addition to any other requirement in the
chapter.
H. Sections 9.04.050 through 9.04.075 pertaining to abatement by the
City have been repealed and deleted.
Administrative Procedures for Abatement of Nuisances
This new subchapter, numbered 9.04.100 et seq., is added to Chapter 9.04, and
sets forth comprehensive and up to date due process procedures for the abatement
of nuisances by the City, including notice provisions, requirements for demolition of
buildings or structures by City personnel, rights of appeal, review by an impartial
hearing officer, abatement of imminent hazards, and recovery by the City of the
costs of abatement.
Recordation, Enforcement Fees and Attorney’s Fees
A new subchapter 9.04.200 et seq. has been added to set out the procedure by
which the City may record a notice of substandard property. The new subchapter
also provides for the recovery of code enforcement fees by the City, and for the
recovery of attorney’s fees by the prevailing party in certain instances. City of Culver City, California
Redevelopment Agency Agenda Item Report
Graffiti
The subchapter on Graffiti remains the same; it has been moved from 9.04.200 et
seq. to 9.04.300 et seq.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
There may potentially be an incremental increase or decrease in revenue generated
by penalties for failure to rectify property maintenance violations, but staff anticipates
the potential revenue to be negligible. Though Enforcement Services has authority
to issue Orders to Comply and Administrative Citations, staff intends to pursue
compliance with property maintenance standards through voluntary cooperation to
the greatest extent possible, using fines and penalties only as a last resort.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to issue a letter of
support to California State Assembly Member Julia Brownley indicating Culver City’s
support for Assembly Bill 139, related to authorizing the Los Angeles County Flood
Control District to collect fees if approved by voters in compliance with Article XIII D
of the California Constitution (Proposition 218)
BACKGROUND:
The Los Angeles County Flood Control District (District) was created in 1915 through
adoption of the Los Angeles County Flood Control Act (Act). The District includes all
of Los Angeles County south of Avenue S in the City of Palmdale. The Act
empowered the District to provide flood protection, water conservation, water quality
protection, recreation and aesthetic enhancement within its boundaries. The District
is currently authorized to generate funding through ad valorem taxes and benefit
assessments only.
Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) regulations adopted by the State require that all
agencies meet strict water quality standards. The TMDLs require that measures be
taken on a watershed-wide basis with participation by all agencies including the
District, Cities and Los Angeles County. Plans to meet the TMDLs are being
developed by each watershed group. The plans will include large regional
construction projects and local projects and programs to treat smaller areas.

Redevelopment Agency Agenda Item Report
Countywide cost estimates place the cost of compliance with the TMDLs in the
billions of dollars. Revenues currently collected by the District are not sufficient to
fund projects and programs required to meet the TMDLs. Culver City is currently
funding its storm water program through the General Fund and does not collect
revenues specifically for TMDL compliance.
DISCUSSION:
The District currently collects a Flood Control Benefit Assessment (Assessment)
from property owners within the District. This Assessment is apportioned to all
parcels in the District based on the benefit each parcel receives from flood control
facilities provided by the District. The benefit apportionment and assessment is
based on the quantity of storm water discharged from each parcel calculated using
lot size and land use. A 50-foot-wide by 100-foot-deep single family residential
parcel currently pays $21.71 per year.
The assignment of benefit for water quality improvements is not as simple to
calculate. Benefit would be based on factors such as proximity and access to an
improved water body and it is expected that such benefit assignment would be
challenged and impractical to defend. The District proposes instead to charge a
parcel fee based on the potential quantity of pollutants discharged from a parcel.
This type of charge would be considered a fee as it would be funding the service of
acceptance and mitigation of pollutants by the District.
AB 139
As the District is currently restricted to generating revenues through ad valorem
taxes and/or benefit assessments, an amendment to the Act is required for the
District to charge a fee. AB 139 (AB139) would amend Sections 2 and 16 of the Los
Angeles County Flood Control Act to permit the imposition of fees or charges if
approved by voters in compliance with Article XIII D of the California Constitution
(Proposition 218).
AB 139 was authored by Assemblywoman Julia Brownley (41
st
Assembly District)
and was introduced with its first reading on January 20, 2009. The Bill was referred
to the Committee on Local Government on March 3, 2009.
Clean Water, Clean Beaches Initiative
If AB 139 is signed into law, the District will submit the “Clean Water, Clean Beaches
Initiative” for voter consideration. The initiative is currently being drafted and would
request voter approval to charge a fee on property tax bills for TMDL compliance.
The amount of the proposed fee would be determined through an engineering
analysis that calculates the cost of TMDL compliance and the services attributable to City of Culver City, California
Redevelopment Agency Agenda Item Report
each parcel. Ballots would be issued to property owners in Spring 2010 with a
simple majority voter approval required to pass. If the initiative passes, the fee
would appear on FY 2011-12 property tax bills.
District representatives indicate that most of the funds generated by the initiative
would be retained by the District for regional TMDL projects and programs. An
undetermined portion of the funds would be allocated to Cities for local TMDL
compliance.
Letter of Support
A City Council position in support of AB 139 would be consistent with the City
Council-adopted Legislative Advocacy Program. The District is requesting that
agencies within the District provide letters of support for AB 139.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
There is no fiscal impact caused by issuing the recommended letter of support. If
AB139 and the Clean Water, Clean Beaches Initiative passes, an undetermined
amount of additional funding would be available to the District and City for TMDL
compliance.

Friday,
8pmSpeak Easy
The Culver City Redevelopment Agency presents a new program for the west
side of Culver City which is experiencing a time of revitalization. Speak Easy
explores the relationship between spoken word and jazz. The 2008 program
features the improvisational collaboration between jazz pianist Patrice Rushen
and writer/performer Sandra Tsing Loh.
Patrice RUSHEN
Patrice Rushen is an award winning musician and
composer who is considered one of the world’s top jazz
pianists. She originally found success in the 1970s and
1980s with her signature fusion of jazz, pop and R&B. It
was during this era that she composed and recorded the
hit songs, “Forget Me Nots”, “Remind Me” and “Haven’t
You Heard”. The four-time, Grammy nominated artist
has also composed music scores for movies and
television shows and she has served as the first female
musical director for many of the entertainment industry’s
top award shows.
Sandra TSING LOH
Sandra Tsing Loh, a writer and a performer, is the author
most recently of "Mother on Fire", a comic memoir of
her struggle to find a school in Los Angeles for her child
to attend. She has been a regular commentator on
NPR's "Morning Edition" and Ira Glass' "This American
Life". American Public Media's "Marketplace" broadcasts
her monthly segment, "The Loh Down". She is also a
contributing editor for The Atlantic Monthly.
CULVER EVENTS CENTER
Culver Events Center has a versatile indoor/outdoor setting which is a favorite
for weddings, parties, fundraisers and occasional movie shoots. Its "mission
eclectic" banquet hall was a speakeasy during prohibition. Hidden away behind
Leaf Cuisine, at Washington and Inglewood Boulevards, the intimate court
yard, gardens, bar and hall are reminiscent of olden days when Culver City
gave birth to the movie industry. 4

DISC
The intersection of La Cienega and Washing-
ton Boulevards is the hub of a large cluster of
galleries exhibiting emerging and established
artists. The influx of so many prominent art
galleries to this eastern stretch of the City
prompted the New York Times in 2007 to
praise its art scene and call Culver City a
"nascent Chelsea."
Corporate Pointe is a premier business center in
the City’s southeast corner. The area houses
professional service firms in the fields of
finance, insurance and real estate, as well as
entertainment, media, and healthcare compa-
nies. Symantec Corporation chose this location
for their expansive Southern California campus.
Downtown Culver City is an exciting
pedestrian-friendly district encompassing an
eclectic mix of restaurants, retail and entertain-
ment venues, as well as major media power-
houses Sony Pictures Entertainment and The
Culver Studios. The area is also home to City
Hall, Brotman Medical Center, the historic
Culver Hotel, state-of-the-art movie theatres,
and nationally-renowned theatre companies
Center Theatre Group at the Kirk Douglas
Theatre and The Actors’ Gang at the Ivy
Substation. In the 1990s, the Culver City Rede-
velopment Agency (CCRA) launched a success-
ful revitalization program that resulted in this
stunning culinary and cultural renaissance.
M 4
With nearly 200 stores, Westfield Fox Hills is a
major regional mall with convenient access from
the 405 and 90 freeways. In January 2008,
Westfield began an extensive renovation and
expansion: improvements include 330,000
square feet of exciting new retail space, restau-
rants and outdoor patio dining. The project is
expected to be completed in fall 2009 and will
feature Target and Best Buy as new anchors.
Other retailers in the mall or within walking
distance include Macy’s, JC Penney, Office
Depot, Circuit City, Marshalls and Hooman
Pontiac GMC Buick. The Four Points Sheraton,
Radisson and Courtyard by Marriot are also
located nearby.
HAYDEN TRACT
The Hayden Tract is an 86 acre district located
south of National Boulevard between Hayden
Avenue and Eastham Drive. Once a manufactur-
ing center, mid-century bow truss buildings have
found new life as creative office space for technol-
ogy, advertising, entertainment and fashion
tenants attracted to the area’s central location
and proximity to the studios. Known for its
internationally-acclaimed architecture, many
influential businesses have their offices in The
Tract, including Nike, Ogilvy & Mather, Ed Hardy,
Eric Owen Moss Architects, Smashbox Studios &
Cosmetics and Rock+Republic.
HELMS BAKERY DISTRICT
The centerpiece of the Helms Bakery District
is the historic Helms Bakery Building (1931),
which is headquarters for contemporary furniture,
delicious cuisine, and a delectable slice of Culver
City history. The district includes home and office
furniture retailers such as H.D. Buttercup, Thos.
Moser, Hästens Beds, several restaurants and the
ever-popular performance space, the Jazz Bakery.
LA CIENEGA SOUTH
The La Cienega South Design and Art District
(LSDAD) houses a unique collection of hand-
picked antiques, hand-made furnishings, and
distinctive artwork. The companies that comprise
the LSDAD represent some of the region’s biggest
and best importers, wholesalers and artists in a
burgeoning design district that caters primarily to
the rising stars of the interior design, retail
business and architectural industries. Industrial
and other creative uses are also scattered
throughout the area.
Culver City's Jefferson Boulevard corridor is a
magnet for new media companies and other
creative industries. Distinguished by its brick build-
ings and nestled between Ballona Creek and the
Baldwin Hills, businesses such as National Public
Radio – West, HOK Architects, Charlotte Taran-
tola, Paige Premium Denim, Moldex and STAR
ECO Station are located here. You’ll also find
Culver City Park, the community’s largest recre-
ational facility, which features playing fields, a
state-of-the-art skate park, a popular dog park
and more.
MID-WASHINGTON
Many small community-serving businesses -
salons, bakeries and retailers - are located along
Washington between Sepulveda and Overland,
just west of Sony Studios. Modern and historical
buildings on the Sony Pictures Studios lot house
production offices for feature films, television, and
short-term commercial and other projects. Take
the Sony Pictures Studios Tour and step back into
a legendary time. Explore Culver Center, at the
intersection of Washington and Overland, which
includes popular places Best Buy, Ralphs, and
Bally’s gym. The surrounding area also features
the King Fahad Mosque, as well as a media office
and studio complex, 10950 Washington, that
serves as western headquarters to the NFL
Network.
JEFFERSON BOULEVARD CORRIDOR
OVERLAND
As Overland Avenue traverses Culver City from
north to south, you’ll find important landmarks
along the way. Some of these include Culver
Center at Washington Boulevard (see
Mid-Washington), the Veterans Memorial Com-
plex and Senior Center at Culver Boulevard, and
the Raintree Plaza shopping center at Jefferson.
The campus of West Los Angeles College, part of
the Los Angeles Community College District, lies
on 70 beautiful acres overlooking Culver City.
One of the City’s busiest commercial boulevards,
Sepulveda is a major north-south route running
parallel to the 405 freeway. It is anchored by
regional shopping centers as well as an array of
local neighborhood services, restaurants and
retailers. Major chain stores such as Target, Bed
Bath & Beyond, Toys “R” Us, Babies “R” Us,
Pavilions, TJ Maxx, Ross, Pier 1 Imports, Staples,
and Big Lots are found along its length.
WASHINGTON NATIONAL
Washington-National is becoming a “transit-
oriented district” in anticipation of the Exposition
Light Rail extension from Downtown Los Angeles.
New developments planned for the area include
an exciting mix of retail, residential and office
space. The first phase of the Expo Line is
expected to be completed in 2010, with plans in
place to eventually extend it westward to Santa
Monica.
The West Washington area extends roughly two
miles along Washington Boulevard between the
405 freeway and the City’s western border near
Lincoln Boulevard. This regional east-west arterial
street carries over 30,000 vehicle trips per day
and is home to professional and healthcare
services, as well as one of the top grossing
Costco’s in the nation. The Redevelopment
Agency is actively working to enhance the West
Washington area through a synergy of public and
private investments.
