informed Council of the Board's recommendation to establish a full annual report between the
present time and January 2003.
At the conclusion of his presentation, Vice Chair Falzon spoke regarding the need to establish
an internal audit function. Councilmember Green stated that many departments have already
been audited, and queried as to why an internal audit function is being suggested. Vice Chair
Falzon responded that the Finance Board is motivated to look for continuous capability to
ensure that the existing policies and procedures are followed.

Management is audited every other year.

Councilmember Green asked if more staff will need to be deployed to accomplish the Board's
proposed audit function, to which Vice Chair Falzon responded that there are generally start-up
costs involved.
Vice Chair Falzon ascertained for Councilmember Dettloff .that what she perceives to have been the
express concern of the Finance Board members in the past - that the city needs to plan far enough
into the future - remains to be the case.
Vice Chair Falzon elaborated that the "20-year horizon" is still valuable as to how it affects
decision making. He described values similar to concerns regarding the infrastructure. Vice
Chair Falzon cited the example that while slurry -sealing is good, there may be other
improvements which are being deferred.
Mayor Pro Tern Bauer requested that Vice Chair Falzon clarify how Council should direct the
Board's activities. He referred to issues delineated on a communication from past Chairman
Chuck Bohle, stating that since it was written on personal letterhead, he was unable to
determine whether or not Mr. Bohle wrote it on behalf of the Board.
Vice Chair Falzon identified that the Board is the source of a December 2001 communication
that lists the recommendations for 1.) an Internal audit; and 2.) a Council Subcommittee to look
into the budget shortfall.
Further discussion ensued regarding the contents of Mr. Bohle's communication. Mayor Pro
Tern Bauer expressed the concern that Mr. Bohle's background.was in the private sector, and
not public finance.
Mayor Pro Tern Bauer stated that he is familiar with management audits, and that if there are
good department heads such as he finds exist in the city's departments, that an internal audit is
unnecessary. He expressed his satisfaction with the current system, while stating that financial
audits for cash collection is a worthy effort.
Discussion was held regarding a performance based budget, with Vice Chair Falzon stating that
the Board will be happy to work with Council on the initiatives for this type of budget.
Councilmember Boardman inquired as to the city's progress with conversion to a performance
based -type of budget. City Administrator Silver confirmed the direction in which the city is
headed in this respect. Assistant City Administrator Workman reported on the timelines for the
transition from standard budgeting procedures.
City Administrator Silver spoke regarding the city's Strategic Plan. He furnished a timetable for
the completion of the evaluation of the Information Systems Division as a separate and
comprehensive function. City Administrator Silver elaborated that Assistant City Administrator
Workman and Administrative Services Director Clay Martin are currently working on said
project, which is to include dialogue regarding the feasibility of setting up a new software
system.
Council thanked staff and the Finance Board for the update.

(11) April 1, 2002 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 11
*Attachment No. 1
Suggested Findings for Approval
Zoning Text Amendment No. 01-09
Suggested Findings for Projects Exempt from CEQA:
The Planning Commission finds that the project will not have any significant effect on the
environment and is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 4501, Class 20, which supplements the
California Environmental Act. The project is exempt because it involves a minor amendment to
the zoning ordinance which does not change the development standards, intensity, or density of
the affected districts.
Suggested Findings for Approval — Zoning Text Amendment No. 01-09:
Zoning Text Amendment No. 01-09 to amend sections 211.04 and 214.04 of the Zoning
and Subdivision Ordinance is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses
and programs specified in the General Plan and any applicable specific plan. It conforms
to the following goals, policies, and objectives in the General Plan:
LU 1: Achieve development that maintains or improves the City's fiscal viability and
reflects economic demands while maintaining and improving the quality of life for the
current and future residents of Huntington Beach.
LU 13: Achieve the development of a mix of governmental service, institutional ,
educational, and religious uses that support the needs of Huntington Beach's residents.
LU 13.1: Provide for the continuation of existing and development of new uses, such as
governmental administrative, public safety, human service, cultural, educational,
infrastructure, religious, and other uses that support the needs of existing and future
residents and businesses.
LU 13.1.1: Allow for the continuation of existing public and private institutional, cultural,
educational, and health uses at their present locations and development of new uses in
areas designated on the Land Use Plan Map in accordance with Policy LU 7.1.1.
ED 1.1: Enhance the City's market potential in terms of retail, office, industrial, and visitor
serving activity. This would allow Huntington Beach to provide for retail, office, and
industrial opportunities that serve the current and projected population and enhance sales
and occupancy tax revenue.
2. In the case of a general land use provision, the zoning text amendment is compatible with
the uses authorized in, and the standards prescribed for, the zoning district for which it is
proposed. The amendment to allow public -semipublic uses on commercially zoned sites
two acres or more is compatible with the uses authorized in the affected districts because
the Commercial Districts already permit the most intensive uses. Additionally, there are
safeguards in the code which require entitlement approval for the majority of public -
semipublic uses in the Commercial Districts during which site -specific compatibility issues
can be addressed. The amendment will not change existing development standards.
(12) April 1, 2002 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 12
3. A community need is demonstrated for the change proposed. This amendment will allow
certain public -semipublic facilities to maintain their commercial designation which
improves the fiscal viability of their property and the City as a whole. Moreover, this
amendment will provide additional potential locations throughout the City for public -
semipublic uses which provide valuable services to the community..
4. Its adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning
practice because it will provide more potential locations for large public -semipublic which
serve the community where they are generally compatible with surrounding area subject to
any required entitlements. Furthermore, it will preserve commercial zones thereby
enhancing the City's fiscal viability by reducing the pressure to convert to the Public -
Semipublic zoning district to accommodate large public -semipublic uses.

Suggested Findings of Approval
Negative Declaration No. 01-10
Suggested Findings for Approval — Negative Declaration No. 01-10:
Negative Declaration No. 01-10 has been prepared in compliance with Article 6 of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. It was advertised and available
for a public comment period of twenty (20) days. The Planning Commission prior to action
on the Negative Declaration considered comments received during the comment period.
2. There is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the Planning
Commission that the project will have a significant effect on the environment because the
request consists only of an amendment to the land use designation of the hospital and
medical office complex at the southeast corner of Beach and Newman. The proposed
designation of Commercial Office is compatible with and is an extension of the commercial
character of the area. The project site is currently developed and located in a fully
urbanized area. No new construction or any other physical changes are proposed with
this request.

Councilmember Green cited excerpts of the communication included in the agenda packet
received from the legal firm of Palmieri, et al dated March 28, 2002. Councilmember Green
requested and received a response from Assistant City Attorney Scott Field regarding the
contents of this communication relative to the meetings held with the property owners affected
by the proposed Benefit District:
Mayor Cook declared the public hearing open.
Michael Ramsey spoke regarding the consultant studies, and in opposition to the proposed
formation of the Benefit District for cost reasons. Mr. Ramsey appealed to Council to take into
account the small business owner.
Bob Anderson spoke in opposition to the proposed impact fee on parcels. He distributed
communication and photographs to Council and the City Clerk. Mr. Anderson expressed the
belief that since the proposed zoning changes on Crystal Street is solely for the benefit of PLC,
that developer should pay for the improvement costs.
Daryl J. Scott expressed the reason that he is against the proposed property improvement tax,
is that he considers it to be a double tax for property owners.
Gary Powell stated that his objection to the Benefit District has to do with the small family
business he runs in the area. Mr. Powell spoke of the difficulties with parking and accepting
deliveries since the loss of the sidewalk due to the Garfield Street widening improvements.
Michael H. Leifer informed Council that he represents property owners in the area of the
proposed Benefit District. Mr. Leifer spoke regarding the city code relative to the calculation of
the "l8 foot theory;" the right-of-way dedication.
Michael D'Angelo stated that he is speaking on behalf of the developer. He stated that the
proposed ordinance is rife with problems, and concurred with the previous speaker.
Mr. D'Angelo spoke relative to the Subdivision Map Act with regards to excess capacity.
There were no persons present to speak further on the matter and there were no further protests
filed, either written or oral. The hearing was closed by the Mayor.
Councilmember Green referred to the Late Communications submitted by the public speaker,
concurring with Mr. Anderson that he also does not find the area improved in the "after"
photographs.
Considerable discussion followed, centered on the public workshops held with Mr. Anderson,
Mr. Ramsey and staff regarding the city's obligation for reimbursement of excess capacity.
MuniFinancial Senior Analyst Montgomery reported on the charge for the right-of-way
acquisition.
Assistant City Attorney Scott clarified the Settlement Agreement. He stated that it would be
Council's decision whether or not to pay the first $800,000 to PLC and the remainder to the city
for road construction. Assistant City Attorney Scott informed Council that every agreement will
have a right-of-way dedication, and the majority requires no greater than 18, and typically 10
feet.
(16) April 1, 2002 Council/Agency Minutes - Page 16
Further debate ensued relative to whether Mr. Anderson's property had improved in appearance
subsequent to the extension of Crystal Street for right-of-way construction.
Mayor Pro Tern Bauer stated his support of the proposed Benefit District.
Councilmember Winchell delineated the reasons why she is in favor of the Benefit District:
The city needs the revenue and should be paid; otherwise the property owners would be
getting a "free ride;"
2. The property owners would not be charged for improvements or pay interest, but will only
be charged the true cost of the 10 feet right-of-way dedication; and
3. Excess capacity is not the issue; the agreement merely pays frontage improvements. The
property owners have been paid for 20 feet and the city is asking for only 10 feet
reimbursement.
Councilmember Dettloff expressed the concern that Council is taking matters into consideration
on issues decided upon by a previous Council. She spoke regarding the property owners
paying their fair share. Councilmember Dettloff recommended closure on the subject.
Per Mayor Cook's inquiry, City Engineer Dave Webb reported on the potential effect of excess
capacity on over 4,000 homes. He stated that property owners are subject to development fees
particular to the property.
Councilmember Houchen requested clarification of roadway improvements, to which City
Administrator Silver responded by referring to Page Nos. D-4.49 and D-4.50 of the staff report. .
Councilmember Winchell stated that the Holly-Seacliff Agreement is based on normal dedication
of property of 10 feet and normal right-of-way improvements. She informed Council that she
attended the March 5, 2002 public workshop meeting and had dialogue with property owners.
Councilmember Green recommended an alternate action set forth in the Request for Council
Action (RCA). The alternative action is not to establish the Holly-Seacliff Area of Benefit District
(to follow). Councilmember Boardman seconded the motion.
Prior to casting the roll call votes on the foregoing alternative action, Councilmember Houchen

Cook, but subsequently withdrawn by the maker and the second.
