(City Council/Redevelopment Agency) Study Session — The City Communications Plan
(160.10) -
Rich Barnard, Director of Communications and Special Projects presented a Power Point slide
report. Copies of this report had been distributed to Council and staff as part of the Late
Communications received by the Clerk after delivery of the agenda packet: Communication
dated June 19, 2000, titled A Communications Plan for the City of Huntington Beach relative to
the methods that the city will use to improve its direct communication.
Communications Director Barnard spoke relative to the methods the city will use to improve its
direct communication with the public — its clients, the citizens and the media. He emphasized
that the message is the key.
Public Information Specialist Jim Hanggi completed the slide presentation by giving the history
of the city with the Internet.
A brief question and answer period followed, during which time Counciimember Sullivan
requested more information in reference to page 9 of the Late Communication relative to budget
funds in fiscal year 2000/2001 to improve the presence of the city on the Internet.
In response to Councilmember Sullivan's inquiry, Communications Director Rich Barnard
enumerated several reasons for the need of improvements to the city's communications plan:
(2) June 19, 2000 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 2
1. Currently, there is no city location on the Website (the city uses the Southern California
Association of Government's site);
2. An in-house server is required;
3. To create a web page with a unified presence on the Internet;
4. To upgrade the city with state-of-the-art e-commerce in order to meet the public's demands
for an interactive system.
In reference to an interactive system, Communications Director Barnard informed Council that a
consultant is needed to lay out a road map that will enable citizens to pay water bills, pull
building permits, and register for classes on-line.
City Administrator Silver emphasized the need for a full-time web master to make the home
page up-to-date and improve the city's website image. He responded to Mayor Pro Tern
Harman's request for a timeline, stating that details and feedback will be presented to Council
on October 1, 2000.
Mayor Pro Tem Harman concurred with City Administrator Silver's comments that the city's
current website is somewhat scattered in appearance. He stated that it would be cost-effective
to download documents to pay City Clerk fees, for example.
Councilmember Bauer commented on other valuable communications tools available at the
public's disposal, such as The Sands Magazine and HB-TV 3.
Discussion followed regarding the city's relations with the media in reference to the reporting of
recent events, such as the proposed development of the Little Shell wetlands and ocean
advisories.
Council thanked staff for their reports.

Public Comments Slips — 7:00 Portion of Council Meeting
At Mayor Garofalo's request, the City Clerk reported that she received approximately 40 Public
Comments slips from the members of the public wishing to address Council.
Public Comments
Maureen Rivers, Pat Stlers, Karen Pederson, Bridgette Kaut and Kelly Rivers, Fourth of
July Executive Board members, as a group extended an invitation to all to attend the festivities
and parade. Each member spoke respectively to announce the completion of the parade roster
and to ask Council support of the board's decisions on the matter. The members stated their
roles and responsibilities on the board; thanked the Community Services Department staff for its
work; invited everyone to view the fireworks show; and displayed this year's Huntington Beach
Fourth of July tee-shirt logo.
Steve Walter, Stephanie Walter and Lindsey Walter, Indian Guide and his daughters, Indian
Princesses, spoke in opposition to the restriction that prohibits children under the age of nine to
walk in the Fourth of July parade. He informed Council that he was unable to locate any city
records that ascertain the existence of a contract agreement between the city and Pageantry
Productions, the company presumably hired by the Fourth of July Board. Mr. Walter distributed
a communication to the City Clerk that outlines these concerns, titled 4 h of July Marching Rules.
Ms. Stephanie and Lindsey Walter both expressed their concern that it is not going to be any
fun to sit in the wagon. Mr. Walter spoke in opposition to Tommy Hilfiger as a parade sponsor,
and asked that Council reconsider and modify the rules.
(6) June 19, 2000 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 6
Mayor Pro Tern Harman inquired how many children were under the age of nine to which
Mr. Walter responded that the majority of the children are between the ages of five and eight
years old.
Councilmember Bauer made the suggestion to allow children under age nine to walk in the
parade.
Community Services Director Ron Hagan stated that he is going to review the parade rules the
following day, in response to Councilmember Julien's request.
Jenna Homer reiterated that everyone should be able to walk in the Fourth of July Parade.
Ms. Homer informed Council that this is her fourth year to participate in the parade, stating that
it is her favorite event as an Indian Princess.
Larry Beltramo spoke in opposition to the Fourth of July Parade rules that prohibit young
children from walking in the parade. He informed Council that he is an Indian Guide who
marched three years in a row. Mr. Beltramo also spoke against the banning of face painting,
stating he believes Councilmember Dettloff enjoyed having her face painted a few years ago.
He spoke regarding ongoing debates as to the number of people allowed to march in the
parade, and expressed his disappointment with the restrictions. Mr. Beltramo stated how family
participation in the parade is important to the promotion of friendship and good memories for
parents and children.
Barry Colburn spoke in opposition to the Fourth of July Parade rule that prohibits children from
walking in the parade, stating that it is a bureaucratic and contradictory rule. He expressed his
concern that there may be more of a problem of potential liability in placing young children in
horse-drawn carts where there is a danger of the animals bolting. Mr. Colburn stated that is
preferable that the children are not separated from, but allowed to walk alongside their fathers.
Jim Dellorusso, YMCA Indian Princesses Program, expressed his opposition to the rules that
ban face painting and prohibit young children from marching in the Fourth of July Parade.
Mr. Dellorusso spoke regarding community and family values, and complimented Indian
Princesses like his daughter, Jenna who accompanied him at the podium, for livening up the
festivities. He stated how only a small fraction of the Indian Princesses are going to be allowed
to march; that the majority of the girls will be riding in the wagons with high side walls from
which they cannot be seen. Mr. Dellorusso stated that the banning of these traditional, fun, and
greatly anticipated events is going to remove the magic from the Huntington Beach Fourth of
Juiy parade. He expressed his fear that the event has become driven by the goal to generate
revenue.
Councilmember Sullivan inquired relative to the conveyances available, if there is enough room
in each, and whether there is a one wagon -per Indian Tribe rule. He stated that although this
was not the appropriate time to debate health and safety issues, the current situation is
unacceptable to him.
Councilmember Green requested that the speakers appeal to the parade board, or whoever is
in charge, to grant them exemptions.
Mayor Garofalo stated that he and Councilmember Julien are going to meet with the Fourth of
July Executive Board on Wednesday, July 21, 2000 relative to the speakers' concerns.
(7) June 19, 2000 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 7

willingness to remodel its store to fit the new took of the Huntington Center Mall, relative to the
agenda item on the Owner Participation Agreements. He also spoke in favor of Councilmember
Julien's agenda item on animal welfare, and suggested that if approved, it include the
exploration of business partnerships with private sponsors. Mr. Biddle urged caution on the
expenditure of funds regarding the agenda item on the proposed construction committee for
Oceanview School District. He stated that he is under the impression that Wal-Mart's lease
revenue income is going to be responsible for covering any costs of the construction of
auditoriums and gymnasiums. Mr. Biddle expressed his anticipation of Mayor Garofalo's
response to the inquiries of Mayor Pro Tem Harman and Councilmember Sullivan regarding the
alleged conflict of interest issue.
Mayor Garofalo informed Council that his response was sent to the Councilmembers that day,

four Chicago representatives including the following two speakers regarding the agenda item on
the Huntington Center Mall Owner Participation Agreements:

of the assets of the Montgomery Wards Department Store, stating that it ranks among the top
three in fine jewelry and furniture sales, and among the top five in appliances in the nation.
Mr. Heine described the new prototype store and expressed his enthusiasm for the Owner
Participation Agreement selection process.
.Jonathan Curtis Attorney -at -Law representing Montgomery Wards, expressed his opposition to
the Redevelopment Agency's method of conducting its Request for Proposals (RFP). He
presented a history of the RFP process from Montgomery Ward's perspective, alleging that the
store has been excluded from the Redevelopment process. Mr. Curtis requested Council to
select Montgomery Ward for the Agency's Owner Participation Agreement.
Councilmember Dettloff stated that she is mystified by the last speaker's comments, since there
has been constant communication with the principals of Montgomery Wards to work out
solutions. Councilmember Dettloff stated that the city has always been cooperative, and does
not understand the allusion that Montgomery Wards was not afforded the opportunity to be a
party to ongoing discussions.
Councilmember Bauer took exception to what he perceives as an unfair characterization of the
city's position on the Huntington Mall Center Owner Participation Agreement process. He
expressed his disappointment at the response that the city has received from Montgomery
Wards.
Mayor Garofalo requested that City Administrator Ray Silver e-mail him a paper trail of the
mechanisms of communication between all parties concerned relative to this matter.
Aviv Tuchman, Attorney -at -Law for Burlington Coat Factory, concurred with Councilmember
Bauer's statement regarding keeping communication between the city and Montgomery Wards
open. He agreed with the last speaker, Mr. Curtis that Montgomery Wards has been excluded
from the selection process. Mr. Tuchman informed Council that Burlington Coat Factory is
contemplating filing a lawsuit against the landowner, which is the Redevelopment Agency. He

Center Mail Owner Participation Agreement.

opportunity for his company to redevelop the Huntington Center Mall. Mr. Gray urged Council to
consider and choose Ezralow for the Owner Participation Agreement.
Bruce Hackel, Regional Manager of Burlington Coat Factory presented the background of the
retail store. He related the concerns of its employees, who he stated inquire of him daily as to
the status of the store at the Huntington Center Mall site. Mr. Hackel expressed the willingness
of his company to be selected for the Owner Participation Agreement.
Ron McLin, Longboard Restaurant, and member of the Restaurant Association spoke in
support of the agenda item on downtown outdoor dining with liquor. He expressed his
opposition to the hiring of a Code Enforcement Officer and what he considers as the high fees
that the addition of that part-time position will entail. Mr. McLln stated that he would rather have
clean, well -swept streets, and that the downtown is not a high crime area. He stated that there
are enough available foot patrol and Alcohol and Beverage Control (ABC) officers to enforce the
rules.
Bruce Miliken, Longboard Restaurant spoke in opposition to the agenda item on the addition of
a Code Enforcement Officer for weekend duty. He stated that there is a good resolution now in
effect, and that fences and setbacks are in order. Mr. Miliken informed Council that the
proposal would be a hardship on businesses; that there are enough foot patrol officers, a police
substation, and a multiplicity of vice personnel and patrol cars to keep everything under control.
Mr. Miliken requested that the item be extended to a later date.
Karen Chepeka, President of Save Our Strays (SOS) spoke in support of Councilmember
Julien's agenda item on the feasibility study for a pro -humane shelter. She spoke of the

sale that following Saturday, and announced the organization's e-mail address.
John DeWitt expressed his support of Counciimember Julien's agenda item for a
comprehensive study for an animal shelter. He stated that a "no -kill" shelter is ethical and
prudent, and reported what he believes are mismanagement problems and wrongful kills at the
County shelter. Mr. DeWitt distributed a communication to Council, stating the need to have a
shelter closer than the city of Tustin, which is proposed and is near the cities of Irvine and
Mission Viejo which have their own facilities. He suggested that there is a good location for a
shelter at Gothard Street and Talbert Avenue.
Christine L. Hein asked Council to consider an animal shelter in Huntington Beach, stating that
the others are too far away and poorly run. She stated that a "no -kill" shelter is going to
promote a higher adoption rate, and spoke against euthanasia, citing incidents of cruelty to
animals.
(9) June 19, 2000 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 9
Jerry Hein requested that Council go forward with a "no -kill" animal shelter in the city, both for
economic reasons and the better treatment of strays.

greatest of natural resources and the best neighbors a family can have.

requested median landscaping improvements at Main Street, between Delaware and
Huntington Streets. She stated that the thoroughfare is the only segment between Beach
Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway that is not landscaped. She presented several reasons
for the need of improvements, including the traffic and safety concerns of the members of her
Village Court community.
Inez Neuenfeldt, resident of Village Court, stated her concurrence with the last speaker,
Ms. Rondeau's request for median landscaping improvements at Main Street, between
Delaware and Huntington Streets. She stated that it would not be a major financial investment
since the area is already tree -lined, and in need only of shrubs and flowers, and a water
irrigation maintenance system. Ms. Neuenfeldt urged Council to consider aesthetic, visual
impact and health and safety factors as top priority reasons for approving the proposed
landscaping project.
Michele Turner, informed Council that she is the owner of a downtown restaurant that does not
serve liquor, and related the difficulties she encounters in observing the "blue line" rules.
Ms. Turner stated that she cannot afford to charge reasonably if she is cited for infractions in
maintaining the barrier that regulates the distance between her establishment's outside dining
area and the sidewalk curb.
Mike Nelson spoke in opposition to the certified letter he received from Wal-Mart that he
presented at the .tune 5, 2000 Council meeting. Mr. Nelson spoke relative to the contents of the
letter, which he stated is heavy-handed in demanding a release of contractor liability for any
equipment failure that may cause damage with Wal-Mart's proposed block wall construction on
his property line. Mr. Nelson spoke relative to health and safety issues concerning his family,
and those families of the surrounding area if the action proposed by the Amel Retail Group was
to take place.

time.

from the city's safety officers, and received only favorable responses. Ms. Sims declared her
continued support of Mayor Garofalo.
(10) June 19, 2000 - CounciilAgency Minutes - Page 10
Joe Racano spoke relative to what he considers to be loopholes in the Coastal Commission law
in regard to the Bolsa Chica mesa. He expressed his belief that the city has its own Local
Coastal law that is being invalidated by this loophole. Mr. Racano stated the need for protecting
the Little Shell wetlands as the last remaining open space. He spoke in support of the pro -
humane animal shelter on the agenda, and in opposition to building the El Toro Airport.
William P. Bernard stated the appropriateness of a response from Mayor Garofalo in regard to
the alleged conflict of interest issue. Mr. Bernard directed a question to City Administrator Silver
relative to the mobile home rent control issue.
Mayor Garofalo stated that responses are going to be forthcoming to mitigate Mr. Bernard's
concerns.
Bill Halpin spoke relative to Mayor Garofalo's alleged conflict of interest issue, stating the
seriousness of the accusation, and urging the Mayor to prove himself innocent.

Charter amendment being proposed by Ed Laird. Mr. Caressa informed Council that it is known

affordable housing measure for mobile home owners instead. Mr. Caressa recounted instances

advocate spoke in support of mobile home rent control. He quoted figures of apartment rental

made that mobile home rent control will put park owners out of business.
Shirley Goerlach, Los Amigos Mobile Home Park homeowner and member of the Huntington
Beach Mobile Home Owners Association (HBMOA) referred to the speaker, Mr. Caressa's
comments relative to a petition being circulated. She stated that she believes Ed Laird issued
the petition under the misleading title of rent control. Ms. Goerlach expressed her concern that
if passed, the proposed Charter amendment would allow mobile home park owners to double
and triple rents without recourse from the city. She urged Council to place a mobile home rent
control ordinance on the agenda.
Steve Gullage, President of the Huntington Beach Mobile Home Association (HBMOA) and
President of the Golden State Mobile Home Owners League (GSMOL) expressed his
appreciation of Mayor Garofalo's financial divestiture. Mr. Gullage spoke relative to the
constitutionality of a mobile home rent control ordinance. He stated that without Council
intervention in support of rent control, should Ed Laird's proposed Charter Amendment pass,
Council may face litigation for abetting the denial to citizens of their rights.

Mobile Home Park Association (MHOA) distributed a handout to Council and the City Clerk,
explaining that it sets forth City Resolution 96-18, supporting State Proposition No. 199 adopted

Political Practices Commission (FPPC).

trust, and asked for resolution of the issue. Ms. Boardman urged Council to deny the agenda
item relative to annexation of the Bolsa Chica wetlands.

Beach ocean advisories of last summer. She cautloned that environmental threats are going to
worsen if ignored. Ms. Zohn described her local organization as dedicated to preserving the
marine habitat through education of the public. She provided a flyer inviting everyone to attend
the first annual fundraiser for a clean ocean to be held July 15, 2000 at the Newport Dunes
Resort Hotel.

recuse himself from participation in agenda items related to any advertisers in the guide. She
stated that she anticipates his letter stating his economic disclosure.

Shirley Dettloff and Pam Julien to Serve on a Joint City and Ocean View School District
Auditorium and Gymnasium Construction Committee —(For Three School Sites) (120.25)

The Ocean View School District in the letter of June 7, 2000, has requested a City/School
District Committee to explore several potentially joint issues, including the construction of
gymnasiums at three of our local middle schools. While there are a number of obvious issues, it
is in the best interest of the city's public policy effort to have a committee meet within the scope
of their request. Therefore, the appointment of Councilmembers Dettloff and Julien to join me
on this committee is recommended.
Following discussion, the City Council tabled Mayor Garofalo's proposal to approve the

The City Council considered a communication from Mayor Garofalo transmitting the following
Statement of Issue: During my term as Mayor, I have had the opportunity to do community
outreach. One such effort included the former Mayors of Huntington Beach, not currently

the community forum to be held later this summer. They had a request of me. That was to
recognize them formally as a Committee of Former Mayors. I am asking them to meet in such a
capacity. Their plans are to gather once per year, within say 90 days of the appointment of a
new Mayor, and meeting one time to cover some of their interests, and the new Mayor's goals
and objectives. With this announcement, I am asking them to gather for such a purpose and for
other such purposes that future former Mayors or Councils might consider appropriate.
A motion was made by Mayor Garofalo, second Green to recognize the Committee of Former
Mayors. The motion carried by the following roll call vote:

`ATTACHMENT NO.4
Findings for Approval
ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 99-4
Suggested Findings for Approval — Zoning Text Amendment No. 99-4:
Zoning Text Amendment No. 99-4 amending Chapter 254.08 H of the Huntington Beach
Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance addressing methods to calculate required park land in -
lieu fees for residential development is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land
uses and programs specified in the General Plan and any applicable specific plan. The
revised ordinance will allow the City to collect fees necessary to acquire, improve, and
rehabilitate park and recreation facilities throughout the City.
2. The change proposed is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the standards
prescribed for, the zoning district for which it is proposed. The revised ordinance applies to
residential development and the method to calculate the required parkland in -lieu fees for
residential development. The amendment will be consistent with other provisions in the
Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance.
3. A community need is demonstrated for the change proposed. The current land value for
park sites has been under assessed and not analyzed since 1990. The new method will
ensure that current land values are utilized when calculating parkland in -lieu fees.
4. The adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning
practice. The revised ordinance will result in the City's ability to provide sufficient
recreational opportunities for its residents and visitors.
