She requested that Council take steps to stop the destruction of the bunkers until they can be reviewed and possibly preserved for their historical value. 71-3 Page 2- City Council/Redevelopment Agency Minutes - 9/20/93 Eileen Murphy addressed Council regarding the Bolsa Chica and urged Council to contact the committee of archaeologists that were appointed by the Coastal Commission, Pat Weir, Dr. Dixson and Dr. Martz. She stated there was a difference between the Koll project which states there are 1,000 feet between ORA 83 and the big bunker and the archeologist which stated there were 200 feet; if it is 200 feet the grading may have covered it up. She stated ORA 83 was an important site, where there are 300 cog stones; more cog stones have been found in the Huntington Mesa than anywhere in the world. Seth Morrell spoke on behalf of Main Street Cleaners, regarding a proposed amendment to the downtown plan to allow a dry cleaning plant to operate in the downtown area. He stated he had provided Council with a letter of complaint and a preliminary petition with over 500 signatures in opposition to the amendment. He requested copies of any documents and bonds related to the tentative approval for the opening of a plant to operate at 411 Main Street. George Arnold stated he had been cited for selling tee shirts without a license and described the circumstances of his case. He explained he appeared in court September 10, 1993, however no one from the City Attorney's office made an appearance, therefore the case was continued to the middle of October. He requested the City Attorney to intervene and end the matter now. The City Attorney stated her office would submit documents to the court at the hearing scheduled in October and the judge would make a decision on the case at that time. Allan Beek addressed Council regarding the Santa Ana River Crossing Study which the county presented at a study session (an adjourned Council meeting held earlier in the evening, see separate set of minutes). He stated the study noted there was controversy regarding the methodology used to analyze the traffic circulation. Usually the intersections are studied as that is where the problems normally occur, however, in this study the streets between the 'intersections were studied. The study of the street itself is normally done only if there is a problem with the streets narrowing, which does not occur in this instance. He stated that if one reviewed the intersection problems only in the Santa Ana River Crossing Study, it would be cheaper not to build bridges, than to build them. He noted that if the bridges are not built there would be severe constraints on the developer of the West Newport Oil and Gas properties owned by Signal Landmark. The City Administrator stated that staff videotaped the Transportation Commission meeting at which time the Santa Ana River Crossing Study discussion occurred and the videotape can be played on Huntington Beach Television Channel 3 so the public can see what this discussion is about. He stated he would do whatever he could to have a community meeting on the issue to be held in the area in Huntington Beach so the public will be aware of what is being proposed before it goes before the Board of Supervisors.. Wendy Mello described conditions found at Carr Park located at Springdale Street and Heil Avenue. The investigation was sparked by finding hungry and injured small wild animals on the perimeter of the island. The ranger found a tent, poles, items of food and clothing and two healthy marijuana plants, which the ranger removed. She stated her concern that the island could become an undesirable secret "hangout'. Adrianne Morrison, Executive Director of the Amigos de Bolsa Chica, thanked Council and city staff for their support in promoting the first Saturday in October from 9 A.M. to noon as Clean Up the Bolsa Chica Wetlands Day. She distributed advance souvenirs to Council and invited everyone to participate in the clean up of the Bolsa Chica wetlands. Bill Gregory requested Council to ask the Coastal Commission to stop the demolition of the World War II bunkers and the destruction of the Bolsa Chica Mesa. He requested an open hearing be 1,7 Page 3- City Council/Redevelopment Agency Minutes - 9/20/93 held to explore the situation further. He believes that since the initial permit was issued two years ago new evidence may have come forth in terms of the archeology of the area both prehistory and Indian history. He stated the developer has not been in compliance with the terms of the permit and mentioned the fence location, as well as the wrong kind of fence which would not permit wildlife access to the area. Karen Stevenson, Project Manager for Habitat for Humanity of Orange County, Inc., stated she was present to answer any questions Council may wish to ask when their item was reviewed later in the meeting. She requested Council support for their project. Dean Allison, President of Habitat for Humanity of Orange County, Inc., requested Council support for their project. He reviewed the background of the organization. Bill Hal ern stated his concern regarding the potential danger of the Hanta Virus on the Bolsa Chica Wetlands. He spoke with six agencies and everyone he talked with agreed the virus was a very dangerous air borne disease, but would not allow anyone to trap rodents yet, because they did not know how to protect staff from the disease. Mr. Halpen requested grading of the mesa be stopped temporarily until it can be ascertained whether deer mice or the virus are on the mesa. People that live nearby have noted a dramatic increase in mice movement recently. 70171,17M Councilmembers Robitaille and Bauer presented a report on their meeting with staff regarding the proposed structure of the Water Master Plan Task Force.

He stated environmentalists are now supporting the concept of Material Recovery Facilities in that 100% of the waste can now be recycled. Councilmember Bauer stated he had been informed of a desert waste disposal site that might be a cheaper method of disposing of waste. He explained that because Rainbow Disposal is located near a railroad spur there would be easy access to the desert site. Mayor Winchell requested a staff report, if there was a policy decision to be made regarding waste disposal. 78 Page 4- City Council/Redevelopment Agency Minutes - 9/20/93 (City Council) BOLSA CHICA STRATEGIC PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETING SCHEDULED 10/8/93 Mayor Winchell announced there would be a meeting of the Bolsa Chica Strategic Planning Committee at 4:00 P.M., Friday, October 8, 1993.

Bolsa Chica - World War 11 Bunkers In response to a request by the Mayor, the City Administrator addressed the issue of preservation of the World War II bunkers in the Bolsa Chica. He stated a letter had been received from Flossie Horgan, President of the Bolsa Chica Land Trust, outlining the steps her group has taken in trying to get a stop order on the project. Councilmember Moulton -Patterson stated that although the Coastal Commission staff did not get a cease and desist, they are conducting a full investigation into the issue because certain conditions of the permit have not been met. She will keep Council informed regarding the matter. She stated that if staff will provide her with information regarding the health issue she would follow up on this issue with the Coastal Commission. Councilmember Bauer referred to citizen's concerns, expressed during Public Comments earlier in the meeting, regarding the destruction of archeological interests and the World War II bunkers and suggested citizens present their information to the city's Historical Resources Board which could review the material and report to Council. The City Administrator reminded Council that the Bolsa Chica was not under the jurisdiction of the City of Huntington Beach and suggested letters from the Mayor expressing concerns regarding the health issue and preservation of historical findings be forwarded to the proper state and county agencies and their assistance be requested. Councilmember Bauer stated he understood that Supervisor Roger Stanton raised the issue of the Hanta Virus with the Orange County Health Department. Councilmember Bauer suggested staff contact the Orange County Health Department for assistance. He suggested, working with the county and Coastal Commission, perhaps a routine inspection program such as is done on many projects, could be implemented which might avert a health crisis situation in the future. Tee Shirt Sales In response to inquiry by the Mayor, the City Attorney reviewed the George Arnold case now being prosecuted which involved Mr. Arnold selling tee shirts on the pier. A brief discussion was held between Council and staff regarding the permit process of selling tee shirts on the pier. 7q Page 5- City Council/Redevelopment Agency Minutes - 9/20/93 Study Session - Mobile Home Issues The City Administrator stated mobile home tenants had requested a study session be held regarding mobile home issues.
