waiting list for rental spaces.

background of the Brookfield Manor Mobile Home Park. Mr. Caressa spoke in opposition to a
recent telephone survey call he received relative to mobile home rent control, due to what he

present condition experienced by mobile home residents with high space rents, not be
considered to be the same as those faced by apartment dwellers.

spoke in favor of mobile home rent control. He stated that it is not only the elderly residents, but

Highway and Motion Failed to Adopt Resolution No. 2000-44 - Authorizing Closure of
Local Streets - Directed Staff to Return Feasibility Report for 2001 (960.30)
The City Council considered a communication from the Community Services Department to 1.
Approve the proposed route revisions for the 2000 Fourth of July parade; and 2. Adopt
Resolution No. 2000-43 - "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Requesting Caltrans Approve the Closing of Pacific Coast Highway for the Huntington Beach
Fourth of July Parade" and adopt Resolution No. 2000-44 —"A Resolution of the City Council of
the City of Huntington Beach Authorizing Street Closure for the Fourth of July" authorizing Pacific
Coast Highway and local street closure for the Fourth of July; and 3. Direct staff to implement
recommended Fourth of July parade route.
Earlier in the meeting, the City Clerk had announced that the following communication on this
item had been provided to the City Council: Slide show presentation from the Community
Services Department entitled Huntington Beach Fourth of July Parade Route 2ooa
Community Services Director Ron Hagan presented the staff report, which he announced had
been presented with wall diagrams during the study session portion of the meeting.
Community Services Director Hagan informed Council of the reasons for the proposed revision
of the Fourth of July parade route to run along Pacific Coast Highway. He stated that foremost is
the potential for wide media coverage of the event, which would only be possible if the parade
had a unique feature, such as the feature of the ocean backdrop.
Councilmember Dettloff directed questions to Chief of Police Ronald Lowenberg regarding the
deployment of additional manpower and other safety considerations.
(16) May 1, 2000 - Council/Agency Agenda - Page 16
Mayor Pro Tern Harman expressed his many concerns, relating problems the city had
experienced during past Fourth of July events that he believes may be exacerbated by the
implementation of the proposal. He made mention of Mr. Quindry's comments, the public
speaker living along the parade route who had stated his opposition due to the inability for
emergency vehicles to traverse the area. Mayor Pro Tern Harman stated that it would certainly
be difficult to keep within the paramedics' guidelines of five-minute response times.
Discussion ensued relative to the risk of reversing the good job done by the Police to reduce the
problems of the past, until it no longer became a problem.
Councilmember Julien inquired if there is an example of a presenting sponsor who is guaranteed
an exposition tent area with the beach in the background. She proposed that an alternative to
the entire closure of Pacific Coast Highway would be to maintain one northbound and one
southbound lane open.
Community Services Director Hagan remarked that staff had hoped to work out the logistics of
just such a plan, but determined that traffic would clog up anyway resulting in major gridlock.
Mayor Garofalo commended the Fourth of July -Board, and stated that as a past parade director,
he has known of many cities to close downtown. He stated that Huntington Beach has a window
of opportunity from late May to July to capitalize on sponsorship revenue for which hundreds of
cities are vying.
Councilmember Dettloff echoed both Councilmember Julien's concern that an unsuccessful
parade year might be detrimental to future sponsorship, as well as Councilmember Bauer's
concern that it is too close to parade time to implement the proposal.
Councilmember Green stated his support of the proposal as a way of marketing Huntington
Beach nationally as a beautiful beach city.
A motion was made by Bauer, second Harman, to deny the recommendation to revise the
parade route and direct staff to study the matter and return with a report regarding feasibility for
2001.
The motion carried with the following roll call vote:
AYES: - Sullivan, Harman, Dettloff, Bauer

Beach Establishing a Salary Schedule for Non -Permanent Employees" increasing the wages of
non -permanent and non -classified employees.

May 1, 2000 - Council/Agency Agenda - Page 17
Mayor Pro Tern Harman requested a calculation of the figures based on the following:
1. The total effect on the general fund of 400 part-time employees receiving the raise.
2. The current and proposed rate of pay for the categories to be changed.
3. If the subject employees have received past minimum wage increases.
City Administrator Silver requested that a Fiscal Impact Statement (FIS) be prepared.
Administrative Services Director John Reekstin responded by stating that they will have more
financial information available. He referred to current and future budget costs for the workers.
Administrative Services Director Reekstin informed Council that the lowest paid employee is the
Library Worker, with a minimum wage of $5.35 per hour. He responded to Mayor Pro Tern
Harman's inquiry relative to change in categories, and stated that no classifications are being
adjusted upwards.
Discussion followed with the consensus to continue to the next Council meeting on
May 15, 2000.
Councilmember Bauer requested if a little more rationale can be provided, but expressed his
regret that the employees will have to wait an additional two weeks for the wage increase.
Mayor Pro Tem Harman suggested that the raise be made retroactive to May 1, 2000.
A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tern Harman, second Sullivan, to continue the item to
May 15, 2000, with a direction to staff if possible to prepare increases as effective May 1, 2000.

Operations and Approved Maintaining South Gate Open for Six Months Until Staff Returns
with Report (420.60)
The City Council considered a communication from the Public Works Department.
Mayor Pro Tern Harman informed Council of the reason for his request to have the item pulled is
because he wanted it to be known that the two large vehicular gates at this site have been
permanently locked for eight months. Mayor Pro Tern Harman stated that he wants to see the
public have access to this road as they pay for its maintenance.
Discussion was held regarding the north and south gates at either side of the street.
Planning Director Zelefsky responded to Councilmember Sullivan's inquiry that there is not a
specific condition or agreement on how these gates are to remain — open or shut.
Councilmember Dettloff inquired of Planning Director Zelefsky as to the County's position on the
upkeep of the subject gates. Planning Director Zelefsky responded that the city has jurisdiction,
and that the county would maintain the gates only if there was a park on the site. {;
Discussion followed relative to circulation purposes of the road, including advice sought from
Chief of Police Lowenberg relative to egress and ingress at the subject property.
Councilmember Bauer stated that he will be opposing any motion to approve keeping either gate
locked.
Mayor Pro Tern Harman stated that he will move to approve numbers 1, 2, and 3 of the
recommended action, and would like to add number 4 to amend to open temporarily for six
months the south gate only.
City Administrator Silver requested staff to return a staff report to Council in six months.

Councilmember Dettloff remarked that the entryway feature would be a good opportunity to make
a statement, and informed Council that she will support a motion to select Option Ill.
Mayor Garofalo inquired if a study can be done to see if the designated site can be accomplished
with a circular seating area at its perimeter and not art.

The City Council considered a communication from the Community Services Director relative to
the staff —recommended priorities for expenditure of Proposition 12, Safe Neighborhood Parks,
Clean Water, Clean Air, and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2000. Proposition 12 was successful
on the March 7, 2000 ballot and will provide the City of Huntington Beach with approximately

in Robert Z'berg-Harris Program funds, and the ability to apply for competitive grants for
numerous projects that are on the unfunded Park Acquisition and Development list. Priorities are

explanation of the entitlement process relative to the competitive grants program.
Community Services Director Hagan clarified that the steps include attendance at public
hearings subsequent to the submittal of criteria. He stated that projects are adopted in similar
fashion as are park bonds issues.
(20) May 1, 2000 - Council/Agency Agenda - Page 20
In reply to Mayor Pro Tern Harman's inquiry, Community Services Director Hagan stated that it is
a "cut and dried" procedure so that lobbying efforts may not be of any assistance.
Mayor Pro Tem Harman asked City Administrator Silver if this item may be placed on the City
Council Intergovernmental Affairs Committee agenda.
Councilmember Green concurred that since this proposal is a priority list and not a work
program, there is a great deal of flexibility.
Community Services Director Hagan responded that once staff recommendations for projects are
submitted to the state, funds are locked in and cannot be transferred. He stated that this is true
of per capita as well as competitive grant projects. He informed Council that he will return in the
fall with a prepared work program.
Mayor Garofalo and Mayor Pro Tern Harman concurred with the idea to look at hiring a
consultant to assist in applying for funds.
A motion was made by Green, second Julien, to approve the staff -recommended project
priorities for expenditure of Proposition 12 grant -funds as set forth in the Request for Council
Action dated 5/1/00.
