The City Administrator referred to Page 9 of the Lewis Partners Report --Agreements and Action Items. He stated that he is in the process of following up on the number of Council committees and will obtain pricing information relative to FAX capability for Councilmembers. The City Administrator stated that the primary purpose of the City Council/Executive Staff Workshop concerned working relationships--Councilmembers working as a collective body, Councilmembers working with department heads, Councilmembers working with the City Administrator, City Administrator working with department heads. He stated that periodically the team expectations should be reviewed and the process should be institutionalized (i.e., the working relationships, goals, and objectives should be revisited next January). 905 04/25197 - City Council/Redevelopment Agency Minutes - Page 3 (CITY COUNCILIREDEVELOPMENT AGENCY) BUDGET PROCESS The City Administrator stated that the purpose of the budget process slide report to be presented was to set the tone as to where the city is headed and to provide a realistic understanding of the city's resource issues prior to discussing goals and objectives. Deputy City Administrator -Administrative Services Director Franz presented a slide report entitled Budget Process--Topics--5 year Projections—1997198 Budget Priorities. Referring to Slide 3 titled City Council Adopted Priorities (December, 1996), the City Administrator stated that this year $3 million in reductions/new revenue/savings need to be identified. He stated that a two-year budget will be implemented this year and adopted in accordance with the City Charter. The City Administrator discussed 5 Year Projections --Expense Assumptions and 5 Year Projections --Revenue Assumptions. He stated that revenues are projected to increase by 1 - 2% while expenditures are anticipated to increase 3 - 4% annually. He noted that potential revenue losses (Proposition 218, Redevelopment Payments to General Fund, Huntington Beach Mall Transition, Assessment Appeals, State Legislation) are not projected. The City Administrator reviewed 5 Year General Fund Estimates --Revenue, Expense, Shortfall. In response to Councilmember Harman's inquiry, the City Administrator stated that an across- the-board 1% salary increase equates to approximately $700,000. Councilmember Garofalo asked what assumptions had been made regarding revenue, e.g., forecasting an increase in transient occupancy tax. Deputy City Administrator -Administrative Services Director Franz stated that the assumption utilized was that the existing revenue base would increase. Referring to 5 YearProjections—ExpenseAssumptions, Councilmember Green asked if salary increases were included in the 2 - 3% inflation increases. Deputy City Administrator - Administrative Services Director Franz responded that 2 - 3% inflation increases will occur on some of the salary and benefit categories. For nonsalary expenses, an across-the-board 2 - 3% increase was applied; however, e.g., bond debt service remains level because staff is aware that it will not increase. In response to Councilmember Sullivan's inquiry, Deputy City Administrator -Administrative Services Director Franz responded that for next year the increase in funding for unfunded liabilities will be $1 million. The City Administrator reviewed Ongoing Revenues and Expenses --General Fund. He referenced the 1997 revenue figure of $98 million and expense figure of $97 million. When projected five years, anticipated expenses are $117 million and anticipated revenue is $106.2 million. The City Administrator discussed MajorRevenues--GeneralFund--Slow Growth Projected which depicted projections in property tax and sales tax. In response to Councilmember Julien's question relative to accounting for new development, Deputy City Administrator - Administrative Services Director Franz stated that this has not been taken into account because there are offsetting reassessments appeals. Councilmember Garofalo stated that he would like to see in the near future a line item proforma on what assumptions are being made for growth. The City Administrator discussed information presented in the slide entitled General Fund Reserve. •1. Page 4 - Council/Agency Minutes - 04/25/97 The City Administrator discussed the potential impact on the city of Proposition 218. He referred to the water in lieu payment and explained that 15% of water revenues ($3.3 million in 1996/97) is paid to the General Fund in lieu of franchise fees and property taxes. He stated that the water in lieu payment and water capital fees may be impacted by Proposition 218. He noted that the wording of Proposition 218 is nebulous and the City Attorney's Office is reviewing the wording to determine whether the 11 year Water Capital Improvement Program can be continued. In response to Councilmember Harman, the City Administrator stated that any items contained in Proposition 218 that apply to the city must be implemented by July 1, 1997. The City Administrator discussed the In Lieu Payment Chart. Deputy City Administrator - Administrative Services Director Franz stated that a study of this question is underway and will be completed within 30 - 45 days. The City Administrator stated he believes the in lieu payment is not property related and recommends continuation of this transfer to the General Fund. In response to Councilmember Garofalo, the City Administrator stated that there is no planned contingency at this time other than the General Fund reserve of $5.5 - $6 million and other reserves. Referring to Redevelopment Agency Cash Balance --Projections, the City Administrator explained that the chart indicates that time exists to correct expenditures in Redevelopment; however, time is running out. Economic Development Director Biggs stated that some changes need to be factored in. Councilmember Harman stated that the plan to forestall a negative balance in the Redevelopment Fund in the year 2002 involves bringing on new projects and obtaining more tax increment financing. Economic Development Director Biggs stated that the merger will improve the situation as well as negotiations with the Waterfront Hilton, property sales, results of appeals, and improving bond ratings. The City Administrator referred to Self -Insurance Funds --Cash Reserve Projections. He reminded Council and staff that his five-year forecast is based upon these charts changing from zero in 1996, $800,000 in 1997, and increasing to approximately $2 million in 2001. He stated that one of the issues to be reconciled is whether self-insurance needs to be $6 million by that time or will $2.5 million, $2.7 million, or $3 million be sufficient. He stated that this question relates to the Equipment Replacement Fund as well. Referring to the chart titled Budget Priorities: 1997198, the City Administrator stated that a two- year budget will be presented to Council on August 1. He advised that rebuilding of reserves will continue, addressing infrastructure needs will begin, implementation of a performance based budget will be initiated, and current services will be maintained. Regarding the Two Year Budget, the City Administrator advised that departments are currently preparing two-year budgets for City Council review and adoption by September 30, 1997. He stated that adjustments based upon normal quarterly reviews will be presented to Council as necessary. The City Administrator stated that addressing infrastructure needs will begin on April 28, 1997 at a joint study session of Council and the Public Works Commission. He stated that the funding options are new revenue source, servicelexpense reductions, grants or federal/state funding, and coordination of Finance Board and Public Works Commission. The City Administrator reviewed the schedule for implementation of the Performance Based Budget and stated that this will be a two-year process. He explained that performance measures must be integrated into the budget system correlated with costs. 907 04125197 - City Council/Redevelopment Agency Minutes - Page 5 The City Administrator explained that the two-year budget to be presented to Council at a study session in late June will reflect maintenance of the status quo for basic services. Funding for staffing increases or service level increases will probably not be included in the budget. Balancing on -going revenues and expenses will be accomplished through reduction in cost of operations where possible, MSI recovery, managed competition, and increased entrepreneurial efforts. The City Administrator stated to department heads that today, with resources as they are, staff must collectively challenge themselves (e.g., metro cities dispatch which effected a savings of $178,000 annually). Councilmember Garofalo recommended that meetings be scheduled every four to six months to appraise and reassess the budget. (CITY COUNCIL) STUDY SESSION - CITY MISSION, VISION, VALUES STATEMENT, GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The City Administrator referred to the City of Huntington Beach Major Development Project List distributed to Council and staff and to a map displayed indicating the location of the 38 projects on the list. He stated that the map was created to visually indicate that the city is out of the recession and heading toward a building boom within the next three years. Councilmember Garofalo recommended that the Major Development Project List be expanded to include additional columns titled Property Tax Impact, Sales Tax Impact, and Number of People Required. Assistant City Administrator Silver noted that this listing reflects a conscious effort and aggressive pursuit of each site and a repositioning of the city for a different revenue base. He stated that there are actually 200 projects of varying sizes in progress at the present time. The City Administrator directed Council's and staff s attention to his communication to Council dated April 23, 1997 entitled Process To Develop 1997 Proposed Goals, Objectives, and Tasks. He stated that the results of discussion at this meeting regarding the 11 goals will be formalized and presented to Council at the first Council meeting in June for formal adoption. The City Administrator referred to Goal #1 (Maintain A Safe Community) and reviewed the associated tasks and status of each task. He explained that the shaded areas represent goals, objectives, and tasks recently added to the Discussion Paper by staff; the unshaded goals, objectives, and tasks were agreed upon by Council in 1995. In response to Councilmember Garofalo's inquiry, the City Administrator stated that Council consensus is required to add goals, objectives or tasks to this document. Councilmember Green expressed concern regarding the parking lot planned near the Bolsa Chica Interpretive Center, stating that safety should be a top priority. Relative to public safety, Councilmember Harman stated that he would like to see a study performed on the helicopter program to determine whether it is cost effective. The City Administrator stated that a review is in process for regionalizing police communications for Westminster, Fountain Valley, and Huntington Beach, and a proposal will hopefully be presented to Council within 30 days. Councilmember Julien requested that review of the canine unit and officers be added under Goal #1. •1: Page 6 - Council/Agency Minutes - 04/25/97 Councilmember Garofalo requested that development of a long-term plan for future Fourth of July activities be added to Goal #1. Councilmember Harman requested that discussion take place regarding the consolidation of Police, Fire, and Public Works vehicle maintenance so that operations are handled collectively rather than separately. Councilmember Garofalo recommended looking toward alternative funding concepts for public safety. He cited examples of the PRIDE Foundation and a possible private sector foundation for the canine program. Councilmember Harman referred to Nuisance House under Safe Community on Mayor Bauer's list of projects by goal. He stated that he would like to see the Nuisance House Task Force implemented and activated. Councilmember Garofalo stated that he wished to see a goal included to identify and utilize e.g., FBI, INS Programs to maximize the grant application process for public safety. Mayor Bauer stated that grant writing should be pursued aggressively. He suggested that he or another Councilmember write a letter to the appropriate political representative requesting assistance in processing the grant application. Councilmember Garofalo stated that corporately all departments need to maximize regionalization efforts and minimize redundancy; the concept of increasing the number of grant applications should be applied universally. In response to an inquiry from the City Administrator relative to Goal #1, Objective 2 (Strengthen code enforcement and other related activities where necessary to avoid a deterioration of quality of life), Community Development Director Fallon stated that she hopes to begin a volunteer code enforcement program this summer. City Attorney Hutton stated that assistance would be helpful in obtaining prosecution and enforcement grants, As an example, she stated that prosecution of drug houses is very labor intensive. The City Administrator referred to Goal #1, Objective 3, Task 1 (Emergency Operations Center (EOC) management and Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) training) and asked Division Chief/Fire Marshal Duane Olsen if SEMS is a state mandated program. Division Chief Olsen stated that it is not a state mandated program; however, if employees do not participate in SEMS training, the city will not be reimbursed for expenses incurred during disasters. Councilmember Garofalo inquired as to whether the downsizing of Holly-Seacliff and the potential further downsizing of the Koll Development will have a negative impact on the fire station. Division Chief Olsen responded that there will be no negative impact. Councilmember Green inquired as to whether updating medical information and medical histories for the Fire Med Program was included as an objective in the Discussion Paper. Division Chief Olsen responded that it is not included in the Discussion Paper; however, it is one of the top 10 objectives of the Fire Department. He explained that in addition to updating medical information, the technology will be updated to better provide medical information to emergency response personnel at an injury scene. The City Administrator referred to Goal #2 (Assure long-term adequacy of the city's infrastructure facilities), Objective 1, Task 3 (Staff will work with the Board and Commission to 909 04/25197 - City Council/Redevelopment Agency Minutes - Page 7 develop funding options and recommendations for the IIMP) for discussion. Councilmember Garofalo stated that school district personnel have indicated a strong interest in pursuing school district vehicle maintenance by the city if time and space are available. Councilmember Harman stated that he would like to see street slurrying doubled this year and doubled again the following year. Councilmember Garofalo stated that one or two word statements relative to projects such as street slurrying accompanied by the cost of the project should be prepared. He stated that the only way projects can be prioritized is to have value added and then translate the projects into policy. Public Works Director Jones stated that street slurrying has been doubled this year and doubled again for next year. Councilmember Harman stated that this project should not necessarily be taken out of the Public Works Department's budget but that more money should be put into maintaining the infrastructure. Assistant City Administrator Silver stated that the increase in slung has been privatized and a quality comparison study is underway at present. In response to Councilmember Harman's inquiry, Assistant City Administrator Silver stated that he will review the results of the comparative study with the Public Works Director next week and will provide a report to Council. Councilmember Julien stated that under discussion at the Managed Competition Committee meeting was the possibility of contracting with other cities to perform their street sweeping which might assist in funding increased street sweeping in Huntington Beach. Councilmember Sullivan stated that the streets in Huntington Beach should be swept more frequently. In response to Mayor Bauer's inquiry regarding reimbursement of Holly-Seacliff improvements, the City Administrator responded that a resolution of the issue is needed and that a Council committee is working on this matter. Councilmember Sullivan requested preparation of a schedule indicating the number of units completed and amount of infrastructure in place. Community Development Director Fallon stated that a one page report has been prepared comparing improvements to the percentage of houses built and that the information will be forwarded to Council. The City Administrator referred to Goal #3 (Enhance and maintain the environmental quality of the community) and discussed Objectives 1, 2, and 3 and the status of each objective and task. He stated that the issue of the Bolsa Chica/Koll Company/water service proposal should appear on the May 5 Council agenda. In reference to Goal #3, Objective 4 (implement the approved South Beach Master Plan and Pier Plaza Master Plan), Deputy Community Services Director Engle reported that Assemblyman Baugh and Senator Johnson have indicated that they are willing to initiate legislation for $650,000 and $500,000 respectively. The City Administrator pointed out the significant effect: a personal tour of a Huntington Beach site has upon state representatives as opposed to merely sending a letter or resolution. Deputy Community Services Director Engle also discussed obtaining a Land and Water Conservation Grant approved by Council with a 50% match from the city. Mayor Bauer stated that Congressman Rohrabacher, Assemblyman Baugh, Senator Johnson, and Supervisor Silva are willing to assist the city. Referencing the tour of the South Beach Improvements area attended by Assemblyman Baugh, Senator Johnson, the City Council, the Community Services Director, and himself, the City Administrator stated that other departments should follow a similar approach. Councilmember Green recommended that state representatives be offered time to appear on HBTV-3 to discuss e.g., an update on Orange County, update on Sacramento. Page 8 - Council/Agency Minutes - 04/23/97 Regarding Goal #3, Objective 5 (Review city's environmental review process), Community Development Director Fallon requested that Task 1 be changed to read "complete review by Kano Ballmer and Be Fkrnan an appropriate environmental consultant of City's California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process" and explained the reasoning behind the requested change. Councilmember Garofalo recommended surveying processes in other communities similar to Huntington Beach relative to the environmental process. In response to an inquiry from Mayor Pro Tem Dettloff, Community Development Director Fallon responded that the city is definitely following the law; however, complaints have been received regarding the length and number of steps involved in the environmental process. She stated her desire to seek assistance from an outside source to review the current environmental process. In relation to Goal #4 (Improve the city's long term transportation system and integrate it into the regional system as it evolves), the City Administrator recommended designating the connection of Gothard with Hoover Street as a special project and ensure that it is completed. Mayor Bauer and Public Works Director Jones concurred with the City Administrator. Councilmember Garofalo and Community Development Director Fallon discussed the area of Main Street between Garfield and Yorktown. The Community Development Director stated that the shopping center side of Main Street will be the responsibility of either PLC or Morgan Stanley; the opposite side of the street is owned by the Kelter Brothers. In response to Councilmember Harman's inquiry regarding a transportation center near the 31 acre site (31 acre site bounded by Pacific Coast Highway, First Street, Atlanta Avenue, and Huntington Street), Assistant City Administrator Silver responded that at this time this is not included in the plans from Morgan Stanley and Shea Business Properties. He explained that per the Community Development Director, the transportation center is a permitted use but not a required use. In reference to long range planning for transportation needs, Councilmember Harman asked whether a transportation center is necessary. Mayor Bauer stated that one difficulty is the price of the land on the beach for use as a transportation center; it is not a cost effective use of that resource. Councilmember Garofalo stated that long term transportation goals that affect Huntington Beach need to be identified. Deputy City Administrator Barnard suggested that OCTD be asked to prepare and fund feasibility studies relative to long term transportation needs. In reference to Goal #5 (Establish policies and strategies to ensure a viable business environment throughout the community and expand the city's revenue base), Councilmember Harman asked if attention has been given to deteriorating small strip centers, noting that there are a number of such centers throughout the city. He stated that a strategy should be developed to assist the owners of these small centers. Mayor Pro Tem Dettloff stated she would like to see a plan in place by the end of 1997 regarding the direction owners in Block 104 downtown are taking and whether Council should take an active role in determining the composition of that area. Councilmember Garofalo discussed numerous new fast food restaurants in the city and stated that the city does not appear to be involved in rehabilitation. He stated that a community assessment of strip malls is needed and a determination made as to how to acquire, 911 04/25/97 - City Council/Redevelopment Agency Minutes - Page 9 rehabilitate, or encourage the private sector to make better use of the land. Councilmember Garofalo stated that he believes this is a zoning issue. Community Development Director Fallon stated that the city must face the reality that the strip mails cannot be revitalized. She noted that suggested in the General Plan was redevelopment on Beach Boulevard; however, she added that the lots are too small. She stated that another issue relative to Beach Boulevard is mixed use --either higher density residential or a combination. The Community Development Director suggested the possibility of obtaining expert assistance regarding creative ideas for land use. Regarding city beautification, Mayor Pro Tem Dettloff stated that she wishes to see some design guidelines in place to assist developers in providing creativity and some unique architectural features. She requested that higher standards be placed on new development. With development imminent on Block 104 downtown and the Tillotson project (Third Block West), Mayor Pro Tem Dettloff emphasized the urgency of establishing these standards immediately. Mayor Bauer noted that the area between 5 Points and City Hall and the southern entrance to the city on Pacific Coast Highway from the Santa Ana River to Beach Boulevard (the inland side) are not inviting entrances to the city. He also referenced the general appearance of some parts of Beach Boulevard. The City Administrator referred Council and staff to Goal #5, Objective 6, Task 1 (Develop a program of fifty-two specific events per year at the Pier Plaza and adjacent city beach). Deputy Community Services Director Engle stated that at present more than 70 events are held on the beach per year and that the Community Services Department is focusing on events that will bring the city more recognition and exposure. Councilmember Sullivan requested that action be taken to expedite development of a youth sports center. Deputy Community Services Director Engle stated that progress is being made and that the environmental assessment is in process; however, there are major funding issues still to be faced. The City Administrator referred to Huntington Beach Collaborative on Mayor Bauer's list of projects grouped by goals. The Mayor explained that the City of Westminster has a collaborative in place which assisted Westminster in obtaining $4 million in grants which the city would not have obtained had it not been a collaborative. In the area of human needs, under the banner of a collaborative, Huntington Beach can apply for a broader range of grants. In reference to Goal #7 (Provide for diverse housing stock; maintain the quality of housing stock), the City Administrator asked Community Development Director Fallon if the city will have a housing element. Community Development Director Fallon discussed the Affordable Housing Policy and stated that hopefully the housing element will be completed by the end of the calendar year. The City Administrator referred to Goal #8 (Maintain and continually improve organizational effectiveness). He stated that complaints are continually received from the community, Councilmembers, and employees that the city's internal processes (rules, regulations, procedures) are still bureaucratic, cumbersome, difficult to understand, and time consuming. In response to the City Administrator's inquiry, Assistant City Administrator Silver reported that a Development Services workshop was held to review the work plan and one of the resultant goals is to touch base more with the customer. Regarding continuous process improvement, M Page 10 - CouncillAgency Minutes - 04/25/97 he advised that this has been a focus of the Development Services Team or approximately two years, and staff will continue to develop better business methods. Assistant City Administrator Silver stated that improvement is occurring in the area of organizational effectiveness. He explained that many radical changes are occurring and to remain competitive, the city must look at issues such as bringing in more resources from the private sector in the Public Works and Community Development areas as well as the processes themselves. He stated that the city will be as entrepreneurial as possible regarding allocation of resources and processes improvement. He discussed the issue of closed school sites as it relates to the complexity of dealing with two or three customers concurrently. Mayor Bauer discussed incidents related to code compliance and enforcement and stated that the city has done a good job and is capable of doing a better job. Community Development Director Fallon referred to Goal #5, Objective 8, Task 1 (Review existing entitlement process and develop recommended changes for City Council consideration that could result in possible reductions in the number of conditional use permits processed). She stated that proposals have been sent out to review the entitlement process as she believes the city has more regulations than most cities. She stated that a competitive review with other Orange County cities will be prepared and suggestions will be presented to Council. Councilmember Garofalo commented on regulations related to landscaping and stated his belief that the area percentage for landscaping is too high. Councilmember Garofalo complimented the present executive staff regarding their exceptional ability to network together. Assistant City Administrator Silver stated that another area in which improvement is planned is code interpretation. He stated that Public Works Director Jones has taken the lead in locating an individual to instruct staff relative to the Subdivision Map Act so that the customer will receive the same interpretation from all departments. Mayor Bauer referenced each of the 13 items under Organizational Effectiveness on his list of projects grouped by goals and provided a status report on each item. The City Administrator referred to Goal #8, Objective 9, Task 3 (Complete a comprehensive classification and pay study). He stated that department heads have discussed preparing a pay and classification plan and expressed his opinion that this is not the time to undertake such a study. Councilmember Harman concurred that such a study should not be undertaken at this time. Mayor Pro Tem Dettloff stated that she would like to see some creative approaches to address the issue of employee compensation. She stated the importance of accomplishing this task this year. The City Administrator referred to Goal #8, Objective 9, Task 4 (Update city personnel. policies), stated that the present personnel policies were developed in 1974, and that they present managerial problems. Councilmember Harman relayed the Personnel Commission's frustration with the present personnel polices and stated that an update of personnel policies is needed. 913 04125/97 - City Council{Redevelopment Agency Minutes - Page 11 Under Goal #9 (Continue to provide diverse educational, cultural and recreational opportunities for all citizens), Councilmember Garofalo requested that an objective of review, evaluation, and recommendation for the branch library system be added. He stated that branch libraries should be better utilized. Mayor Pro Tern Dettloff stated her desire to see a five or ten year plan for the Library in place which will advise Council as to what to expect regarding necessary revenue to sustain or increase Library services. Councilmember Garofalo stated his proposal to establish an objective for a recommended plan of action for preventative maintenance for the Library and recommended funding. Assistant City Administrator Silver requested that Task 4 be added to Goal #10 (Pursue entrepreneurial approaches for seeking new business and tourism to expand the city's revenue base) and read as follows: Develop and implement public/private partnerships which provide new revenue streams to pay for public facilities, construction, and maintenance and repairs. He cited several examples of projects in process to accomplish this task. The City Administrator stated that discussion would stop at Goal #11 (Insure that Huntington Beach local government is open, accessible and responsive to all citizens it serves). The wording of this section will be refined and the information returned to Council at a later time for review. Councilmember Garofalo stated that community events should be televised on HBTV-3. Councilmember Julien suggested that "A Taste of Huntington Beach" be televised. Councilmember Sullivan stated that the city news section appearing quarterly in the SANDS should be reviewed by Council. Regarding tours of City Hall, Councilmember Sullivan stated that such tou sr, , houl6bq�,conducte&by volunteers.
