workings of the Orange County Water District and the close working relationships with the
various cities including Huntington Beach and Jeff Renna, City Water Operations Manager.
He presented a slide report titled Orange County Water District --A Tradition of Innovations

keeps water in the underground basin for two million people. (Following the meeting, a copy of
the slide report was provided to the City Clerk.) Other items included in the presentation were

County Water District recharge facilities; the offer by Orange County Water District of low
interest loan programs for water well construction; and working with each city to maximize the
availability of ground water. Mr. Van Haun informed the Council that the City of Huntington
Beach has been maximizing its availability of ground water for a long period of time.
Actively managing the ground water resources to obtain low cost water, problems created
when more water taken out than put in such as sea water intrusion and increased pumping
cost were reported upon. Mr. Van Haun stated the solution to the problem of ground water
intrusion is injection of recycled water into the ground water basin. The Orange County Water
District's future goals and plans including the Green Acres Recycled Water Project were
reported on.
At Councilmember Garofalo's request, a further report was made on the Green Acres Water
Project.
Mr. Van Haun continued his slide report which next covered the Orange County Regional
Water Reclamation Project, the way the Orange County Water District plans to meet demands
for future usage which include capturing more Santa Ana River water, more Prado Dam
conservation, sending water faster along the Santa Ana River, more water recycling, and
Orange County Regional Water Reclamation Project. He stated that the Least Tern population
at Prado Dam had increased from 19 to 190 pairs, a fact of which they are very proud.
Keeping the ground water basin full was stated as a main goal of the Water District.
Discussion was held between Council and staff regarding the timing of the Green Acres
Project in Huntington Beach. Mayor Pro Tem Dettloff stated that she believes because of the
fine types of work done by the Orange County Water District the city is being very well served.
Councilmember Green stated that he uses Orange County Water District tapes on water
recycling for his students at Golden West College. He inquired of Mr. Van Haun if the Orange
County Water District could get the videos put on the tape used by HBTV-3 in order to
broadcast this valuable information to the public.
Councilmember Green's questions were reported upon relative to the protection of the
wetlands if construction should occur.

PUBLIC COMMENTS
DR. MARK BOCK requested Council's assistance regarding the negative effects of an
easement on his property due to the Huntington Village project. He informed Council of the
dirt and soil problems which had occurred. Dr. Bock was referred to the Public Works Director
for assistance.
TOM LOGAN spoke in opposition to the fee increases imposed by the Orange County
Sanitation District and the vote of the City Councilmembers from Huntington Beach who
concurred with the Sanitation District position.
DEAN ALBRIGHT spoke regarding Proposition 13 saving taxpayers' money and stated that he
is opposed to attempts to impose a sewer tax which he believes would get around the voters'
approval of Proposition 218.
JOHN LYNCH referred to the discussions held at the last Council meeting of the terrible
occurrences which took place in North Hollywood. He stated the events in North Hollywood
have been set forth as a reason for supporting Senate Bill 1339 (Calderon) --Prohibited
Weapons Devices. Mr. Lynch stated reasons why he believed this new law would not have
deterred the action in North Hollywood from occurring.
DENNIS DAVENPORT questioned what the compelling reason was to ban all belt fed devices.
He urged Council not to support the proposed legislation (Senate Bill 1339).
ROGER WILSON stated that the items he brought back from his tour in Southeast Asia which
are now on his living room wall would cause him to be a felon under proposed Senate
Bill 1339. He presented statistics showing that there is almost a 99% chance of getting away
with a felony in Orange County and stated that there is a need for a law to be passed to have
the District Attorney put all offenders away.

THOMAS LAMBERT informed Council of his opposition to the Community Services
Commission chairperson allowing only two members of the public to speak during a recent
Community Services Commission meeting on the EIR (Environmental Impact Report) at
Huntington Central Park. He spoke regarding the fact that the City Council Agenda is not
posted until 72 hours before the meeting and that it is not on HBTV-3 as it used to be. He
stated that the legislators in Sacramento utilize Council's position on Senate bills and
Assembly bills as evidence the citizens of Huntington Beach concur which he stated the
citizens do not as the citizens do not hear about it. He spoke against the proposed
legislation --Senate Bill 1339 (Prohibited Weapons). He presented to Council a document titled
ILA Research and Information Division Fact Sheet --Firearms Glossary. A copy was provided
to the City Clerk.
MILTON VAUGHT stated that he believes proposed Senate Bill 1339 (Prohibited Weapons) is
a poorly constructed law and urged that Council not support it.
LOWELL ZEHNDER stated that his son was denied access to visit him last year during the
Fourth of July because of the police barricades. He stated that he saw that many of the
people prohibited entrance were city residents, not transients for whom the barricades were
intended. He stated that he believes his sovereignty is being violated.
Councilmember Garofalo stated that he was sympathetic to Mr. Zehndees position and asked
the Police Chief to explain that arrangements can be made to obtain a pass.
(CITY COUNCIL) COUNCILMEMBER DETTLOFF AND COUNCILMEMBER SULLIVAN -
STATUS REPORT ON ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICTS NO. 3 AND NO. 11 -
PRESENTATION BY DON MCINTYRE, GENERAL MANAGER OF ORANGE COUNTY
SANITATION DISTRICT, AND FOUNTAIN VALLEY MAYOR JOHN COLLINS (CHAIRMAN OF
THE ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT BOARD) (1020.50)
Mayor Pro Tern Dettloff read a statement regarding the many reasons why the members of the
Orange County Sanitation Board of Directors believed it was necessary that fees be increased,
one reason being the expensive process to insure sewer treatment safety which the Orange
County Sanitation District does admirably. She stated that when other districts of the Orange
County Sanitation District raised fees, District No. 11 did not and had not raised fees for seven
years.
Fountain Valley Mayor John Collins addressed Council stating that he was here as the joint
chairman of the Orange County Sanitation District Board. He spoke regarding the difficulty of
imagining 250 million gallons of waste water processed each day which is the Water District's
responsibility. He stated that the last thing any elected official wants to do is raise fees. He
spoke regarding the vast amount of time spent on this issue. Mr. Collins stated that as good
stewards of the district, the Directors knew that it had to be done. He stated that health
hazards in the state or city cannot be tolerated and closure of beaches is unacceptable.
Don McIntyre, General Manager of the Orange County Sanitation District, clarified in a slide
report the workings of District No. 11, including user fee history, fiscal condition, and proposed
capital budget. He distributed a slide report to the City Councilmembers. He clarified that
mailings relative to the fee increase were not required to be done and were not done in order
67
Page 8 - Council/Agency Minutes - 06/16/97
to save over $300,000 in postage which could be used for the district. He stated that next year
Proposition 218 will require mailings.
Councilmember Garofalo questioned who proposed the report and was informed that the
Orange County Sanitation District Financial Officer had prepared the report. Councilmember
Garofalo stated that he would have assumed that this data would be verified by more than
their Internal Auditor.
Joint Board Director Collins spoke regarding the audit of the Board. He stated that the Orange
County Sanitation Board Members could have voted not to raise fees and they would not have
suffered; however, the people of the community and future residents would have.

issue should be considered at the next budget meeting.

Option V and refer the issue to the 1997-98 budget discussions. OPTION V: Refer the issue
to the 1997-98 budget discussions. Because the funding for Sunday operation would impact
the General Fund, the program could be evaluated and prioritized in comparison to the
General Fund programs.

recurrent employees to work on Sundays as these employees are not subject to meet and
confer law.
The motion made by Julien, second Green carried by unanimous vote with Councilmember
