Page 2 - Council/Agency Minutes — 05/03/99
After presenting his qualifications, Mr. Blackwill spoke regarding the city's economic activity
which he stated is stable despite the financial volatility of recent times.
Mr. Blackwill recommended the conservative approach for municipalities, which includes
meeting short/long term liability -such as cash flow needs for payroll and the infrastructure
versus total returns, and of the city's need to maintain a low-level risk profile.
City Treasurer Freidenrich presented a cash flow update on the city's investments with the
Single -A and Double -A ratings.
Discussion was held regarding the city's current budget spend -down of $9 million out of $17
million in cash reserves used for Fire, Police, and Public Works capital projects.
City Treasurer Freidenrich presented a Government Account Standards Board (GASB) 31
update. She discussed high-level yield instruments with low percentage rates.
The board presented the annual Investment Advisory Board report. Discussion followed.
The Investment Advisory Board's goal for the city was emphasized as rightfully centering on
investment policy, with the City Treasurer providing representation at City Council meetings, an
annual report, and a financial audit.
City Treasurer Freidenrich informed Council of her intent to provide a checklist of various
investment situations.
Mr. Blackwill in response to Mayor Pro Tern Garofalo, stated that in comparison to other cities,
Huntington Beach is conservative in its investment philosophy.
Councilmember Harman stated his concerns regarding the budget questioning that if only $9
million was spent, is a carryover anticipated for the next fiscal year? Public Works Director
Beardsley clarified that this was due to projects being tied to grant funds. City Treasurer
Freidenrich responded that Administration and Public Works will look at the large projection to
see what can be spent. The need for storm drains, for instance, had accounted for the
unavailability of General Funds.
City Treasurer Freidenrich responded to Councilmember Harman's inquiry regarding the cash
flow management software which the City Treasurer's Department recently acquired, stating
that it cannot yet be implemented due to staff shortages.
The City Council thanked City Treasurer Freidenrich and the Investment Advisory Board
members for their reports and commitment to the city.

concern of city exposure to liability from tours of factories and other events which are planned
as the city is not supervising the events and the normal safeguards are not there. He
requested comment from the City Attorney.
City Attorney Hutton informed Council that she believes liability concerns are legitimate; that
there are methods to avoid liability. She stated she believes safeguards could be negotiated if
Council approves this action.
Councilmember Dettloff spoke regarding the matter and questioned if the group could go
through the city's Special Events process. Community Services Director Hagan responded.

Committee and to sanction the concept event outline planned as part of the city's official
celebration of the year 2000.

ended and not specific enough. He stated that if the safeguards mentioned by the Community
Services Director were included in the agenda packet report he could vote for this item. He
suggested that perhaps the city should hire someone to help in the project as it would be a

should be given to this aspect. City Administrator Silver reported that the contract would be

annual inspection of bus shelters and bus benches should be made to insure safety. If such an
inspection is deemed necessary, then a fee to recover the cost of inspection should be
established. This fee would be paid annually by the vendor.
City Administrator Silver stated that this will be part of the work of the full-time employee that is
to be hired by the city in connection with this project; that the safety issue is more critical in this
contract than whether the panels are in place.

Findings for Zoning Text Amendment 99-1 / Zoning Map Amendment 99-1;
1. Zoning Text Amendment No. 99-1 and Zoning Map Amendment No. 99-1 to change the
zoning on three half -blocks totaling 1.82 net acres from Downtown Specific Plan District 1
(Visitor -Serving Commercial) to Downtown Specific Plan District 2 Residential) is consistent
with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan
Amendment No. 99-1 which is being processed concurrently. The land uses in the
surrounding area are consistent with the proposed change in zoning and at the time of
development, there will be appropriate infrastructure and services available to support
residential development.
2. In the case of a general land use provision, the zoning map amendment is compatible with
the uses authorized in, and the standards prescribed for, the zoning district for which it is
proposed. The changes proposed would be compatible with uses in the vicinity which are
residential and open space.
3. A community need is demonstrated for the change proposed. The changes would expand
the opportunities for housing and address the needs of a growing population.
4. Its adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning
practice. The zoning text amendment and zoning map amendment will provide more
opportunities for residents to live in close proximity to services and amenities while being
consistent with the surrounding neighborhood.
5. The City Council has approved Negative Declaration No. 98-1 by resolution. The current
project is covered under that Negative Declaration and this project will comply with the
mitigation measures that were identified.
Councilmember Sullivan questioned the properties on which agreements for covenants were
and were not obtained.

agreement with covenants and return to commercial designation the property of those owners
who do not agree to the covenant.

not rezone property.
The motion made by Green, second Garofalo was withdrawn.

those properties whose owners do not agree to the covenant.

commercial project could result or a four-plex could be built. He reported that such

some of the types of agreements which had gone through the Economic Development
Committee which he believes should have first gone through the City Council. He stated the
example of the bus bench/bus shelter contract which was very contentious. He spoke
regarding the 31 acres of property on Pacific Coast Highway and Lake Street where he had
heard that perhaps 20 or 30 story condominiums are proposed. He stated that a developer
could believe only one more vote is needed for approval at the Council level due to the
discussion at the Economic Development Committee level. He stated that perhaps it may be
determined that the Economic Development Committee is not necessary. Councilmember
Harman commented on the great amount of staff time involved with this committee.
A motion was made by Harman, second Sullivan, to direct staff to return to the City Council
