a group of citizens favoring the establishment of a proposed Shelter Care Facility
for adolescents.
Mrs. Katz addressed Council and elaborated on the functions of the proposed facility.
She requested that Council endorse the program in order that it could be established
and operated in Huntington Beach.
Kathy Fung, Ginger Eurpenbeck, Wendy Amacher, and Cliff Seward, City residents,
addressed Council and spoke in favor of the program. They stated that funds had
been made available in January, 1977 for the program. They were of the opinion
that rental and house -parents had a respect for other people's property, were
trained for their roles, and that children deserved this opportunity.
Jim Stratton, City resident, addressed Council and stated that, in his opinion, it
was necessary for the proposed Shelter Care Facility to gain the approval of neigh-
bors, that the program had not previously been presented in a manner which would
demonstrate its feasibility, but with the coordination of all involved,. it would
prove successful. He requested a letter from Council supporting the program.
Councilman Shenkman expressed concern for the 'emotional trauma' in the neighbor-
hood, which might arise were the program not properly explained, and inquired as
to the payment to house -parents. Councilman Bartlett inquired if the program had
been previously tried and was told that it had not. Councilman Coen stated that he
was reluctant to take a position on the matter at the moment, but supported the idea
in concept. Councilman Shenkman stated that he would make a decision when there
was more verification on paper in support of the program. Mayor Pattinson stated

not appear ready to make a decision at this time.

develop the program to the point where it could again be presented to Council, if
so directed.' The Council accepted the offer and so directed Mrs. Bailey.
RESIDENTS' INQUIRIES - VERBAL AND WRITTEN RESPONSES - MARIE BUCKLAND
Marie Buckland addressed Council and expressed her dissatisfaction with the responses
she had been receiving from staff to her questions, stating that she believed that
inquiries made in writing should be replied to in like manner.
Discussion was held between Council and it was the general consensus that there
were instances where a verbal answer was adequate and others where a written reply
was more desirable, however, a requirement for all replies to be in written form
would be too time-consuming.
Mrs. Buckland stated that there were three questions directed to the Police Depart-
ment to which she believed had not been adequately answered. The Assistant City
Administrator stated that he had requested the Police Department to respond to the
questions. j
QUERIES - UNSATISFACTORY RESPONSE- GORDON OFFSTEIN
Gordon Offstein addressed Council and stated that in his experience, queries to
the City were often left unanswered, even verbally, but that other County officials

Fred Ebert, Vista Volunteer for a Vista project called "Legal Action for Better
Housing," associated with the Legal Aid Office in Huntington Beach, addressed
Council and stated that he would like to bring their attention to the possible loss
of low income housing units to the City of Huntington Beach, which were promised in
two applications for Housing and Community Development funds for the senior citizens
of Huntington Beach, due to what he believed to be the failure of staff to have
adequate assurances of the pre -approved site for the units.
The Planning Director stated that there was a potential loss of the units due to the
fact that the Department of Housing & Urban Development neglected to notify the City
of the requirement for the assurance on site abailability. He stated that there
would be a meeting between his office and the HUD representatives on May 17, 1977;
that he had talked with the owner of the property in question, and would have all
the assurances that HUD requires to have the units re -allocated to the site.
Mr. Ebert maintained that it had been almost two years, during which time the
regulations had not been changed to his knowledge, that the information was avail-
able to the staff of the requirements for the proper assurances, and stated that he
would like some assurance that the housing units would be made available and not
lost through neglect of the City staff.

responded to by the City staff, but that he believed a number of questions had
received no reply.
Mr. Ebert stated that the Human Relations Commissioner and the Auditor Comptroller
