The topics of discussion included an Overview of the Year, presented as a communication from
the Office of the City Treasurer dated June 5, 2000 transmitting the Investment Advisory Board
(IAB) Annual Report to the City Council for the period October 1, 1998 to September 30, 1999.
The communication titled City of Huntington Beach — Investment Advisory Board (IAB) — Annual
Report to the City Council for the Period October 1, 1998 to September 30, 1999 had been
announced earlier by the City Clerk as a late communication.
Chairperson Ely commended City Treasurer Freidenrich for her good work on behalf of the city
relative to the Orange County bankruptcy proceedings.
City Treasurer Freidenrich introduced the city's stock broker Howard Herring from JW Genesis
Financial Services, Inc. She informed the Council of Mr. Herring's credentials,
Mr. Herring presented a Power Point slide report dated June 5, 2000 titled The Economy, the
Bond Market and the City. This presentation is a portion of the slide report dated June 5, 2000
from Shari Freidenrich, City Treasurer titled Joint Study Session IAB/City Council, which had
been announced earlier as a late communication by the City Clerk.
Mr. Herring announced that the drop in unemployment levels has been unprecedented since the
John F. Kennedy Administration. He also stated that the Federal Government continues to hike
the interest rates due to the surge in the economy. Mr. Herring credited what he stated is the
pro -active, Volker/Greenspan trend of the last 20 years for the nation's leadership in stable
economic growth.
Mr. Herring spoke relative to bonds; that it is trading rather than investing in bonds that causes
volatility in the market. Mr. Herring informed Council of the city's position, stating that safe
management of the city's portfolio is the key.
Mayor Garofalo inquired about reducing the risk to the city's portfolio, and unrealized gains, to
which Mr. Herring responded that reducing the weighted average of maturity of the city's
portfolio captures higher yields.
City Treasurer Freidenrich added that the direction of the interest rate is moving towards a "buy
and hold" portfolio, and concurred with Mr. Herring that a shorter maturity captures a higher
yield.
City Treasurer Freidenrich presented the Government Account Standards Board (GASB) 31
update, which she stated is the standard that counteracts the effects of the Orange County
bankruptcy. She related a hypothesis that if the city were to liquidate its entire portfolio
tomorrow, 1.5 million would be lost, but that the chances of that occurring are very slim.
Mayor Garofalo asked for a forecast of the market over the next two years.
Mr. Herring stated that the crystal ball is clouded outside a six-month horizon, because the
Federal Government is not done with hiking interest rates.
Mayor Garofalo thanked the Investment Advisory Board, which he stated is a volunteer group
with an advisory role.

Public Comments
Pat Bril, Chairperson of the Huntington Beach Public Library Board of Trustees, spoke in
opposition to the agenda item relative to approving the proposed Library Internet filtering
software. Chairperson Bril provided background on the board's position, stating that the board
had voted unanimously against the staff recommendation for filtering as an infringement of
Constitutional rights under the First Amendment. She urged Council to approve the Library
Board's recommended action against filtering - Option No. 1.
Norm Westwell spoke in opposition to the staff recommendation on the agenda item relative to
Library Internet filtering software. He informed Council that most libraries are not currently
filtering. Mr. Westwell spoke against government intervention on the public's behalf in deciding
what is considered to be objectionable viewing material. He spoke in favor of the Library
Board's recommended action - Option No. 1.
(5) June 5, 2000 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 5
Randy Allison, the representative for the applicant, Amwest Corporation, objected to the
agenda item relative to the findings for denial of the Ellis Avenue Single Room Occupancy
(SRO) project, on which a public hearing was held on May 15, 2000.
Ed Blackford, Site Manager of the AES Huntington Beach power plant, spoke in opposition to
the agenda item that proposes the imposition of a utility tax on the electrical facility at Newland
Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway. Mr. Blackford informed Council that the plant is not a utility
company and it is not governed by the Public Utilities Commission (PUC). He expressed his
points as two -fold: (1) that AES is unique from other businesses, as it converts gas into
electricity. He stated that the company has not changed its operation since it was under the
ownership of Southern California Edison (SCE), and should therefore remain tax-exempt; and
(2) that Council should keep policy issues separate from financial considerations. Mr. Blackford
expressed his belief that the imposition of this tax constitutes a double tax.
Chuck Scheid inquired regarding the agenda item relative to the renewal of the contract with
Chevrolet. He spoke in opposition to the proposed increase in the quantity to be appropriated,
and compared the terms of the current proposal with those of the last three-year contract.
Mr. Scheid stated that it is unclear to him who would pay for the additional drivers, why the
number of vehicles has increased from 12 to 15, and the reason for the change in the type of
vehicle from GEO Trackers to the Chevy S-10 truck. Mr. Scheid stated that he understood the
point of obtaining the vehicles is for the use of the marine safety workers, and not for product
placement on the beach.
Joe Racano spoke relative to urban runoff. He displayed photographs of sewage, debris, and a
dead sea mammal beached at the mouth of the Santa Ana River. Mr. Racano stated that urban
runoff is not a source of ocean pollution.
Eileen Murphy requested Mayor Garofalo's financial disclosure relative to the allegation that he
received a check from the CIM Development Group, which she stated is a company involved in
an issue before Council. Ms. Murphy spoke regarding the advertisement that CIM placed in the
Huntington Beach Conference and Visitors Bureau Guide, a publication with which Mayor
Garofalo has involvement.
Bob Biddle thanked Mayor Garofalo for the column in the Independent Newspaper regarding
drained oil in the storm drain system. He informed Council that he has reviewed all the
Councilmembers' economic disclosure statements filed over the past few years. Mr. Biddle
requested that Mayor Garofalo hold a press conference to respond to questions arising out of
recent media reporting relative to allegations of issues of conflict of interest.
Debbie Cook interpreted Government Code Section 1090 conflict of interest violations and the
imposition of penalties and fines. She mentioned that the Fair Political Practices Commission
(FPPC) Act cannot enforce Section 1090 laws. Ms. Cook spoke regarding Mayor Garofalo's
acceptance of a check for an advertisement placed in the Huntington Beach Conference and
Visitors Bureau Guide.
James Lu stated his objection to the agenda item relative to the Findings for Denial on his
project, the Ellis Avenue Single Room Occupancy (SRO) project on which a public hearing was
held on May 15, 2000. He questioned if the Councilmembers had pre -conceived their votes
prior to the public hearing. Mr. Lu informed Council that prior to the meeting of May 15, 2000,
he asked a Councilmember if his appeal letter had been read and was upset to discover that it
(6) June 5, 2000 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 6
was not. He stated that a very good project was denied because Council did not really look into
it.
Jim Barker, Los Amigos Mobile Home Park and Communications Director for the Mobile Home
Owners Association (MHOA) spoke in opposition to the Notice of Intent to Circulate Petition.
Mr. Barker informed Council that this amendment to the City Charter prohibiting the stabilization
of mobile home park and apartment rents had been submitted to the City Attorney's Office for
title. He commended Council for defeating State Proposition No. 199 in 1995, which he stated
was an initiative by mobile home park and apartment owners to raise space and apartment
rents to any level they desired. Mr. Barker announced that the next speaker, Mr. Jankowski is
going to continue with their joint presentation.
John Jankowski, Mariner's Point Mobile Home Park, continued the previous speaker,
Mr. Barker's presentation. He stated that in 1995, the Mobile Home Owners Association
(MHOA) battled against State Proposition No. 199 because it allowed for "rent gouging" by
mobile home park and apartment owners without fear of legal retaliation. Mr. Jankowski
informed Council that the MHOA is opposed to the petition for City Charter amendment because
it is a look -alike of State Proposition No. 199. He stated that the answer is to look into the
Mobile Home Fair Practices Act. Mr. Jankowski turned the presentation over to the next
speaker, Mr. Gullage.
Steve Gullage, Los Amigos Mobile Home Park, completed the presentation of the two previous
speakers, Mr. Barker and Mr. Jankowski. He added that whether or not mobile home rent
control is needed, should the City Charter amendment pass, rents are going to increase even
more dramatically. Mr. Gullage spoke in favor of the rent stabilization ordinance, and urged
Council to pass the Mobile Home Fair Practices Act that he stated will allow mobile home park
owners to adjust space rent at a reasonable rate.
Al Caressa offered Council information which he believes they may need to review mobile
home park space rents. Mr. Caressa thanked Council for the formation of the city's Mobile
Home Review Board (MHAB) and the Mobile Home Sub -Committee. He stated that apartment
rentals cannot be associated with mobile home space rentals.
Shane Bankston, manager of Brookfield Manor Mobile Home Park, referred to the speaker,
Mr. Gullage's rebuttal to Mr. Bankston's statement at a previous meeting regarding base rent.
Mr. Bankston clarified that the base rent of which he spoke applied to new mobile home owners,
and not the established residents. He quoted figures and charges, and informed Council that
regarding the water rate issue, meters are read monthly. Mr. Bankston stated that the owner of
Brookfield Manor, Mr. Hexberg is a senior citizen himself, but that the fear of rent control for an
owner is understandable. Mr. Bankston questioned why the rent control issue should be limited
to mobile homes, and not include apartments.
James Lane, member, Huntington Beach Cares, expressed his concern regarding the check
received by Mayor Garofalo from the C1M Group. He urged the Mayor to hold a press
conference for disclosure of the disposition of the check. Mr. Lane spoke relative to eminent
domain, and stated that he is troubled that Mayor Garofalo's voting on the Environmental Impact
Report for the downtown redevelopment area may represent a conflict of interest.
(7) June 5, 2000 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 7
Pamela Canfield, Gables Condominium Complex resident, expressed her concern over the
proposed land lease increases at the Gables Condominium project, which she stated she
cannot afford to pay. Ms. Canfield thanked Council for its support on the issue.
Mike Nelson spoke in opposition to the registered letter he received from Arnel Retail Group,
the developers of Wal-Mart. He distributed copies to Council. Mr. Nelson informed Council that
the letter is in reference to the construction of a wall adjacent to his home, and the demolition of
an existing wall. Mr. Nelson stated that the developer wants him to sign and acknowledge a
waiver of responsibility for any damages to his property, and to indemnify their obligations. He
stated that the letter appears to be a legal, binding contract since his signature requires that a
witness be present. Mr. Nelson expressed his concerns about the duration of time for the
construction, the inherent danger to pets in the area, and the legal ramifications of his refusal to
sign.
Mayor Garofalo directed staff to copy the letter and address the issue.
Councilmember Sullivan expressed his concern over the conditions outlined in the letter. He
stated that the letter does not mention if a lack of response on the part of Mr. Nelson is deemed
to be a refusal. Councilmember Sullivan spoke regarding the need to act quickly due to the
short response time of three weeks stated in the letter.
Gerald Chapman, Co -Chairperson of the Huntington Beach Art Center Foundation expressed
his pleasure over the approved pay raise to non -permanent, non -classified part-time, temporary
and seasonal employees approved at the May 15, 2000 meeting. Dr. Chapman stated his
concern that the action has placed a mandate on the Huntington Beach Art Center Foundation
to come up with the unfunded amount to defray salary costs. :
Jacque Geier -Lahti requested that Mayor Garofalo open his books and reassure the public that
there is no wrongdoing and that the check made out to him from the CIM Group has made its
way to the proper accounts.
Don McGee stated that he found Mayor Garofalo's article in the Independent regarding urban
runoff as timely. Mr. McGee spoke in opposition to ocean pollution and the drainage runoff
problem on Frankfort and Geneva Avenues, to the Huntington Shorecliffs Mobile Home Park.
Bill Bernard expressed concern over what he stated was the repeated allegations of conflict of
interest by Mayor Garofalo. Mr. Bernard spoke relative to the Mayor's earlier statement
regarding the divestment of his ownership of the Local News. Mr. Bernard also spoke in favor
of a solid tax base for infrastructure improvements, but not at the expense of the public. On this
point, Mr. Bernard spoke of the need for efficacy — to effect a desired result for the greater good
of the community of voters.
Robert Cronk spoke in favor of the agenda item relative to the Findings for Denial of the Ellis
Avenue Single Room Occupancy (SRO) project on which a public hearing was held on
May 15, 2000. Mr. Cronk stated that as he had reported at the last meeting, neither the
applicant, Mr. Lu who appealed the denial, nor his representative had met their obligations to
discuss the issue with concerned citizens such as he.
James Jones, Equity Concept Investment Management for Huntington -by -the Sea Mobile
Home Park spoke in opposition to requests for mobile home rent control stating that rental
assistance is available to those in need.

Harman directed questions regarding generic cases to Assistant City Attorney Field, including
the hypothetical situation that if the Mayor participates in Council action to move the CIM project
forward, and his participation is later found to be in conflict, what would happen to the project.
Assistant City Attorney Field responded that Councilmembers routinely approach his office to
inquire whenever such conflicts of economic interest appear to exist. He stated that under the
normal course of events referrals are made to the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC)
by phone. Assistant City Attorney Field further stated that whenever an FPPC legal opinion is
rendered, copies are provided to all Councilmembers, as has happened with the CIM case.
Assistant City Attorney Field He spoke relative to the system of the City Attorney's Office
relative to conflicts of interest matters regarding City Councilmembers. He stated that he
believes it is inadvisable to investigate first since to do so would not foster the good relationship
between Council and the Attorney's Office.

Mayor Garofalo stated that he had no problem with either Mayor Pro Tern Harman or
Councilmember Sullivan's inquiries, and that he is going to provide a response the following

(City Council) Approved Three -Year Promotional Contract with Chevrolet, "The Official
Marine Safety Vehicle of Surf City, Huntington Beach" to Obtain 15 Vehicles — Approved
City's Indemnification Obligations (600.10)
The City Council considered a communication from the Community Services Director requesting
that the city enter into a new three-year promotional agreement with the Chevrolet Motor
Division which names Chevrolet as the "Official Marine Safety Vehicle of Surf City, Huntington
Beach."
Councilmember Sullivan directed his inquiries to Community Services Director Hagan relative to
public speaker Chuck Sheid's concerns regarding the additional eight vehicles to be
appropriated this year. Community Services Director Hagan clarified that there were a dozen
obtained with the last contract, and that this year 15 vehicles are involved with the Chevrolet
sponsorship, and five more with a subsequent "Pier Plaza Presents" sponsorship contract. He
further stated that the agreement being proposed calls for exclusive rights for Chevrolet to
sponsor activities on the beach, but that the vehicles are not just for lifeguards; they can be
used at Central Park and other sites.
Councilmember Dettloff remarked that she attended the Mother's Day Concert at Pier Plaza,
where the exhibits are located along with the booths for the Farmers' Market. Councilmember
Dettloff noted that the static Chevrolet display did not detract from the event.
A motion was made by Sullivan, second Green to approve the Promotional Agreement with the
Chevrolet Motor Division and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute same; and 2.

(City Council) Public Hearing Opened and Closed May 15, 2000 — Accepted Findings for
Denial for Conditional Use Permit No. 99-31 and Negative Declaration No. 99-11
(Ellis Avenue Single Room Occupancy (SRO) Residential Project —Applicant, James Lu -
Amwest Corp. (420.40)
The City Council considered a communication from the Planning Director transmitting Findings
for Denial of Negative Declaration No. 99-11 and Conditional Use Permit No. 99-31 Ellis Avenue
Single Room Occupancy (SRO) Residential Project on which a public hearing was held on
May 15, 2000.
Councilmember Dettloff requested that her no vote be recorded. She stated that she believes
the proposal met all legal requirements.
(16) June 5, 2000 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 16
Councilmember Sullivan inquired of Planning Director Zelefsky if this is the first time that the
Single Room Occupancy (SRO) ordinance had been used, to which Planning Director Zelefsky
responded in the affirmative.
Councilmember Sullivan expressed his concerns. He stated that more than one person in a
room is unacceptable, due to the square footage of the rooms in question.
Councilmember Sullivan stated that the second issue involves the SRO in Irvine, where he finds
the parking standards to be low.
Planning Director Zelefsky stated he was concerned with the size of the units as well, and that
the standards will be looked at in the future.
A motion was made by Green, second Sullivan to approve the following recommended action:
Accept Findings for Denial of Negative Declaration No. 99-11 and Conditional Use Permit
No. 99-31 (Attachment No. 1)*.
ATTACHMENT No. 1*
FINDINGS FOR DENIAL
NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 99-11
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.99-31
FINDINGS FOR DENIAL - - NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 99-11:
1. The City Council finds that the project may have an impact on the adjacent residential
neighborhood trough adverse effects of increased traffic and noise and that the project is an
incompatible land use in the proposed location due to insufficient parking, increased traffic,
an increase in density and intensity and overall building height and design.
FINDINGS FOR DENIAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 99-31:
Conditional Use Permit No. 99-3 1 for the establishment, maintenance and operation of the
38,390 square foot Single Room Occupancy (SRO) complex will be detrimental to the
general welfare of persons working or residing in the vicinity, detrimental to the value of the
property and improvements in the neighborhood, and detrimental to surrounding commercial
and residential properties because of the following factors: 1) the proposed 106 unit
development is too intense due to the density of units, 2) there are not enough controls to
enforce the conditions of approval, and 3) the proposed location is inappropriate due to
insufficient parking, increased density and intensity, and overall building height and design.
2. As required in Government Code Section 65589.5 (d) (2), the City Council finds that the
project will have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety because the
rooms are too small for compatible habitation by two people, 81 parking spaces is
inadequate for residents, staff members and visitors, and the traffic generated by the project
will adversely impact the surrounding Street system and will pose a threat to public safety.
(17) June 5, 2000 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 17
3. The conditional use permit will not be compatible with surrounding uses because the SRO is
too intense due to density and will not be harmonious with the existing Town & Country
shopping center and adjacent residential uses. The proposed building is not an adequate
buffer between the existing commercial center and the adjacent residential fourplex
apartment units because the project will increase traffic in the area and the structure is too
dense. In addition, the proposed units are inadequate in size for two occupants and
insufficient parking is provided on -site for the potential residents.
4. The granting of the conditional use permit will adversely affect the General Plan. As required
by Government Code Section 65589.5 (d) (6) the City Council finds the project inconsistent
with the Land Use Element designation of CG-F2-d (General Commercial -Maximum 0.5
FAR -special design overlay) on the subject property. Specifically, it is inconsistent with the
following goals and policies of the General Plan:

(City Council) Approved Library Internet Filtering Software for Adults (100.10)
The City Council considered a communication from the Director of Library Services regarding
the City Council approval on December 20, 1999 of the use of filtering software on the public
access PCs within the children's section. Accordingly, all such Internet access utilizes filtering
software that restricts, but does not eliminate, accesses to offensive material. Filtering software
is not infallible and objectionable material may still be viewed. The policy gives adequate notice
to parents and guardians that the Library has taken measures to reduce offensive material.
After approving the Internet policy for minors, the City Council asked staff and the Library Board
to study the issues and to look for an Internet provider that provides an adequate screen
regarding Internet use for adults. Staff reviewed and analyzed four options ranging from no
filtering to the most comprehensive filtering software.
Earlier in the meeting, the City Clerk announced that a late communication was received by her
office. The communication is an amended page of the slide show presentation submitted by the
Director of Library Services on June 2, 2000 for the following:
Power Point slide report entitled Adult Internet Access from the Director of Library Services
requesting Council direction whether the Library system should have Internet filtering software
on adult public access PCs.
Director of Library Services Ron Hayden reported on the variety of means to filter, which he
stated are essentially for the purposes of restricting access. He stated that dynamic filtering is
being recommended by staff.
Councilmember Sullivan inquired if the filter can be programmed to unblock, and presented
examples of legitimate sites that are blocked; titles with the Roman numeral of 30; for example,
which comes up as "XXXs."
(18) June 5, 2000 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 18
Director of Library Services Hayden stated that sites need to report the blocking problem to the
Internet, but that the library can unblock locally as well.
Discussion was held relative to the proposal for staffing — full-time equivalence versus part-time
personnel. The additional staffing issue is presented as an added motion for approval to the
staff recommendation of Option No. 4 as shown on the late communication amended page.
Mayor Pro Tem Harman requested that the portion of the amended, recommended action on
approving filtering and additional staff to be included in the Fiscal Year 2000-2001 budget, to be
deferred.
City Administrator Silver suggested that Option No. 4 be approved and that staff be directed to
return with a report on Internet filtering costs and staffing needs.
Concurrence was reached by Council to adopt a motion of intent to approve filtering.
A motion was made by Green, second Mayor Pro Tem Harman to approve Option No. 4,
dynamic filtering, as the Huntington Beach Public Library's Internet Use Policy for Adults
(excluding internet access in the media section). The motion carried by the following roll call
vote:
AYES: Julien, Sullivan, Harman, Garofalo
NOES Dettloff
ABSENT: Bauer (Garofalo out of the room)
(City Council) Direct Staff to Prepare a Measure to be Submitted at the November 7, 2000
General Municipal Election Relative to Removing an Electrical Corporation's Exemption
from Paying the City's Utility Tax - (620.20)
The City Council considered a communication from the Administrative Services Director
requesting Council direction as to whether the City Council should place a measure on the
November 7, 2000 ballot removing an electrical corporation's exemption from the City Utility
Tax. In 1998, Southern California Edison (SCE) sold the power plant at Pacific Coast Highway
and Newland to AES Huntington Beach. Under the terms of the City's Utility Tax (UT)
Ordinance, SCE, as an electrical corporation, was exempt from the payment of the tax on its
usage of natural gas to generate electricity. Upon transfer of ownership, the City Attorney
opined that under the Ordinance, AES was also exempt from payment of the tax because it was
still an "electrical corporation", even though it was not subject to PUC jurisdiction. In addition,
the City Attorney stated that the removal of this exemption would require a vote of the
Huntington Beach electorate under the provisions of Proposition 218.
The 5% Utility Tax is paid by all Huntington Beach businesses and residents. Since AES is now
a privately run utility, with power sold on the open market and not directly to Huntington Beach
residents, AES should pay the Utility Tax on the same terms as other Huntington Beach
businesses. It is estimated that approximately $1.2 million in Utility Tax revenue will be
generated based upon the plant's current natural gas consumption.
Earlier in the meeting, the City Clerk announced that the following Late Communication had
been received on this item: Administrative Services Director John Reekstin presented a Power
Point slide report dated June 5, 2000 from the Director of Administrative Services titled
Imposition of Utility User Tax on AES Power Plant.
(19) June 5, 2000 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 19
Discussion was held relative to the measure, including questions regarding the 2/3 vote
requirement. The City Clerk responded to questions relative to the proposed advisory vote and
deadlines for placing the measure on the ballot.
City Administrator Silver submitted the suggestion that the language on the Advisory Vote Only
measure emphasize that this utility tax would not be passed on to the citizen.
A motion was made by Sullivan, second Julien to direct staff to prepare a measure for
submission to the voters at the November 7, 2000 General Municipal Election to amend the
Huntington Beach Municipal Code to remove an electrical corporation's exemption from paying
the City's Utility Tax; and direct staff to prepare an alternative wording on Advisory Vote Only
measure for return at the July 5, 2000 Council Meeting for submission to the voters at the
November 7, 2000 General Municipal Election as to whether the revenue from the Utility Tax
paid by an electric power plant should be used for capital improvement projects. The motion
carried by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Julien, Sullivan, Garofalo, Green, Dettloff
NOES None
ABSENT: Bauer
