He requested that Council approve the staff recommendation. DOUGLAS STEWART, resident of Kenilworth Drive, near the Shea property, requested an extension of the public comment period on the Parkside Estates Project EIR as the technical appendices for the Environmental Impact Report are not readily available; the wetlands issues remain unresolved; and in his opinion there are numerous deficiencies in the report that require further review. He stated that while it may be technically acceptable and probably cost-effective for the city to hire consultants to perform the EIR that have worked for Shea Company on this project prior to the bidding process, it has the appearance of a conflict of interest and raises some questions about impartiality. Mr. Stewart spoke regarding his concern relative to the recommendations in the Environmental Impact Report regarding flood control. He recommended that the city make sure this system is workable, including the Wintersberg Channel; that the implementation is bonded and a tested system is in place prior to allowing any development on that site. Councilmember Sullivan requested clarification from Mr. Stewart relative to his comment regarding the consultant performing previous work for Shea Company. Discussion was held.

Community Development Director Fallon reported on the subject, including advising the City Council that consultants do not just work for agencies but they also work for private land owners. Councilmember Garofalo stated the issues relative to this subject on which he believes Community Development Director Fallon could report back to Council, and which also could be used to develop a policy for the future. Mr. Metzler and Community Development Director Fallon reported. ROBERT CRONK addressed Council regarding his communication which had been distributed and announced by the City Clerk as part of the late communications earlier in the meeting. He spoke regarding the error in the Environmental Impact Report relative to the location shown on the map setting forth where the proposed Wal-Mart is to be placed. He requested that the public review comment period commence 45 days after the corrected copy is given to the City Council, Planning Commission, and the public. 657 Page 6 - Council/Agency Minutes - 05/18/98 Councilmember Green stated that a staff member was not authorized to modify an Environmental Impact Report thus Community Development Director Fallon was correct to not have corrected the report herself. Community Development Director Fallon reported that there is an error on the map and that she had not been aware of this error until the end of the day on May 15, 1998. She stated that a free copy would be given to all members of the public. Mr. Cronk stated that he believes the payment to the consultant who prepared this Environmental Impact Report should be renegotiated. He stated this agreement is part of the agenda of this meeting. MIKE NELSON stated that he will be heavily impacted by the proposed Crest View Project at Talbert Avenue and Beach Boulevard. He spoke regarding the need for a procedure to correct the mistake made by the consultant in preparing an incorrect map. He presented suggestions in this regard including some type of advertising to let people know the map is incorrect. Mr. Nelson stated that there are a lot of people in his neighborhood who are going to be impacted and they should have the ability to look at accurate information. He stated that he hopes it does not come to pass that 18 wheel trucks will drive by his back yard 24 hours, day and night as indicated in the EIR. GERALD CHAPMAN thanked Shea Properties for their generous donation to save the art work at Seacliff Center. Mr. Chapman addressed Council regarding the agenda item on Fire Station 6 - Edwards, stating that the one consistent item mentioned at a recent meeting on this issue was that the structure would be compatible with the neighborhood. Mr. Chapman informed Council that recently it had been discovered that there is a fund shortage to construct the station with the compatibility desired by the neighborhood, however, the people in the neighborhood still feel that it is important that the construction be compatible. He stated that he could support Option No. 1 in the staff report. HOWARD SUBNICK addressed Council and performed a telephone parody regarding negotiations with employee groups. TIM CHAMBERS, Huntington Beach Police Officers Association member, informed Council that presently he is confined to a desk as he is recovering from being run over by a car at the scene of an accident. He informed Council that if the contract offer is a ten percent (10%) raise over two years he will take it but that he does not believe that was the offer. He requested that safety personnel not be portrayed as people seeking a life of leisure when they have chosen a life of service. Councilmember Sullivan stated the offer that has been presented in the negotiations. 05/18/98 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 7 DENNIS HASHIN, Huntington Beach Police Officers Association member, spoke regarding the contract provision from the state mediator of which he has a copy. He stated that it is not the same provision as stated by Councilmember Sullivan. He spoke regarding the effects on the safety services as the city is no longer competitive. Mr. Hashin stated that when he applied for a position on the Police force in 1977 there were 33 openings and 1,500 candidates which showed the city valued its Police Department; that the police officers' pay was in the top five Police Departments. City Administrator Silver responded to Councilmember Sullivan regarding the offer made in negotiations. Councilmember Sullivan spoke regarding the matter. KREG MULLER, Huntington Beach Police Officers' Association member, spoke regarding the issue of placing binding arbitration on the ballot. He stated that this could have been placed on the ballot at little or no cost to the city. Mr. Muller stated that he believed both sides are close to resolving the issue however the whole negotiations could blow up. He requested that the City Administrator, the Mayor, the Mayor Pro Tern and the Police Chief meet with four members of the Police Officers' Association in study session. Mr. Muller stated that it is time on both sides to leave the attorneys out of it and see if our elected leaders can solve this problem. MARIANNE PIERSON, Huntington Beach Police Officer's Association member, addressed Council regarding the effect of not having reached agreement regarding negotiation of a Memorandum of Understanding. She spoke regarding the loss of officers per capita in the city and stated that for the first time in years a campaign is on to hire entry level candidates rather than lateral candidates. She stated that the best of these entry level candidates will take the experience gained from the City of Huntington Beach elsewhere and the rest will stay and possibly cause loss to the city. She stated that summer and the increase in the transient population will cause increase in calls for service for Police, Fire and Marine Safety personnel and as a dispatcher she stated the effect that she believes the continuous decline in staffing will have on response to calls for service. ED TERRELL, Fire Captain, requested that the City Council not use the courts to take away retirement benefits. He requested that Council treat employees as they would like to be treated; also that Council consider binding arbitration. Councilmember Sullivan listed the benefits the city employees receive. Police Chief Lowenberg, in response to Councilmember Garofalo, stated the statistic that six years after a police officer retires, the police officer dies. Councilmember Garofalo spoke further regarding financial aspects of this matter, stating his hope is to get a deal on the table. DARREN NEWTON, Huntington Beach Fire Association member, informed Council that he is speaking as a father, husband, and long time resident of the city. Mr. Newton stated that he believes some of the Councilmembers have forgotten the City's Mission Statement. He read a portion of the Mission Statement. • 'l Page 8 - Council/Agency Minutes - 05/18/98 JOHN CONNER commented on an article in the Huntington Beach Independent regarding the city lawsuit against the State Public Employees Retirement System. He presented questions to Council including why any employee organization would want to enter into a contract that would not be honored by a governing body that does not honor its own existing, legally negotiated, vested contracts. Councilmember Sullivan spoke regarding the correct figures relative to the figures recently stated regarding numbers of employees leaving the city. MIKE KANEEN stated that part of the contract offer included take aways for new employees. He thanked Councilmember Garofalo for his statement in a April 16, 1998 newspaper article regarding the subject, including the savings to the taxpayer of $18 million dollars and that a deal is a deal is a deal. WENDY MELLO addressed Council regarding what she believed was the independently run Art Center receiving money from the city which she stated she believes should be used elsewhere. Ms. Mello informed Council that she did not appreciate her tax dollars being spent for the type of art she viewed at the Art Center and did not like her tax dollars going to the Art Center. She spoke regarding the leaf blower issue and cited other types of pollution that make leaf blower pollution minor. MIKE REYNOLDS, Police Officer, spoke regarding how in the long run hiring "new hires" is more expensive than hiring lateral entry officers. In response to Councilmember Julien, Police Chief Lowenberg reported on the cost to train a "new hire". (CITY COUNCIL) REPORT REGARDING GAS POWERED LEAF BLOWERS TO BE MADE WITHIN 60 - 90 DAYS In response to Councilmember Sullivan, Acting Public Works Director Smith informed Council that the report requested by Council at the last meeting regarding gas powered leaf blowers would be presented within sixty to ninety days.

(CITY COUNCIL) VEHICLE LICENSE FEE - STATE TAKE -AWAY Mayor Dettloff spoke regarding the vehicle license fee take -away by the state that will hurt Huntington Beach and all other cities. She stated that the Governor's Office announcement the cities will have these funds made up by the State is not to be relied upon. The Mayor read a statement from the League of California Cities informing cities not to rely upon the "back-up" money as it can be changed from year to year. Councilmember Garofalo spoke regarding the need for an initiative to be placed on the state ballot to place a cap on how much of the property tax the state can keep; that he believes this is the only answer to the future survival of municipalities. The Mayor stated that legislation is pending in this regard. City Administrator Silver stated that seven years ago when he came to work for the city, the property tax and sales tax paid for Police and Fire Safety Services, and now that these funds do not cover the cost.
