City of Hermosa Beach
Hermosa Beach, CA, USA
THE COMMUNITY
Hermosa Beach is the small town others aspire to be. A beautiful beach, eclectic neighborhoods, unique commercial districts, and welcoming gateways create an unrivaled coastal destination. The City has effectively balanced the small town, beach culture with its enviable position as a regional and statewide coastal destination. The City is committed to protecting coastal resources and takes a practical, fiscally responsible approach to reducing its environmental footprint. Home to nearly 20,000 residents, Hermosa Beach is the heart of the “South Bay” region and plays host to a number of high-profile community events such as summer concerts, street fairs, and sporting events for beach volleyball, tennis and more. Due to the number of events and attraction of a large visitor population, the City operates in many ways like a larger city. During the 2017–18 fiscal year, beach attendance ranged from a low of 84,900 in February 2018 to a high of 750,000 in July 2017, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department’s Lifeguard Division. This beautiful city situated on the Pacific Ocean has many amenities—hotels, motels, a youth hostel, plentiful parks, is home to the famous Hermosa Beach Pier, and is within a short commute of many of the largest and best-known names in corporate America in the aerospace, tech, industrial, service, and financial fields. The Hermosa Beach City School District, consistently recognized as a California Distinguished School, offers a high-quality education to students in kindergarten through eighth grade, while high schoolers attend Mira Costa or Redondo Union High Schools in neighboring cities.
THE GOVERNMENT
The City of Hermosa Beach was incorporated on January 14, 1907 as a general law city and operates under the Council-Manager form of government. Policymaking and legislative authority are vested in the five-member City Council who are elected at large on a non-partisan basis. Councilmembers serve four-year, staggered terms, with an election every two years and each Councilmember serving a rotation as Mayor. The City Council is responsible for appointing a City Manager to direct the day-to-day operations of the City, which include Community Development, Community Resources, Finance, Human Resources, Police, and Public Works Departments. The City offers a full range of municipal services including police, fire protection (provided by Los Angeles County since December 30, 2017), community development (planning and zoning), cultural, recreation and parks, maintenance and construction of public improvements, parking and animal control, and general administration. The City has an annual budget of $63 million and approximately 130 full-time staff members.
