Councilmember Posey, Director Farrell and Police Chief Handy discussed parking meter fees after 7 00
p m Director Farrell indicated that based on visitor counts of 16M, $ 25/hour is not an exorbitant
increase, fee remains late at night in order to drive vehicles parking into the parking structure There is

stated he doesn't support parking meter fees until midnight because it is not a competitive policy with
other area beach cities

Councilmember O'Connell asked how many people who live in Huntington Beach are issued parking

[SB331]) to educate the voters and Councilmembers
Councilmember Peterson stated that there are a lot of existing laws that govern the municipal contract
processes (including RFPs) and transparency issues The purpose of this item is to provide an
opportunity for everyone to fully understand the existing laws and determine if there are areas that need
to be changed
Mayor Pro Tern Katapodis voiced his support for having a Study Session on this topic He asked if it
would be possible to include language "in 90 days or less" and ideas from Councilmember O'Connell's

Session in 90 days or less to discuss the City of Huntington Beach's procurement/purchasing and

18. Approved Item Submitted by Councilmember Peterson - Naming of the Senior Center
Councilmember Peterson shared his opinion that he is not generally a proponent of naming buildings
after an individual because it takes a team of individuals for a successful result His objective in
presenting this item is to generate conversation to see if there is interest in another name
Mayor Hardy questioned if recognition given to Michael Rodgers years ago travels to the new Senior
Center location, or does it stay with the property where it was originally built? She recognized Speaker
Briscoe's idea of naming the old location "Rodgers Park," and explained that names considered by
Council will be forwarded to the Community Services Commission for a formal recommendation
Councilmember Sullivan suggested that the new name be "Senior Center in Central Park "
Councilmember Delgleize and Director Laudenback discussed the process for doing a memorial
naming, i e , the Community Services Commission makes a recommendation that would then require
City Council approval Director Laudenback explained that "Senior Center in the Park" has been the
working name for the project, and since it was not named after a specific person, following a formal
procedure was not necessary
Mayor Pro Tern Katapodis expressed support for the discussion and Councilmember Sullivan's
suggested name
Councilmember Peterson and Mayor Pro Tern Katapodis agreed that if the Senior Center was to be
named after an individual, Councilmember Sullivan would be at the top of the list to acknowledge his
many years of dedication and exemplary service to the City
A motion was made by Sullivan, second Katapodis to send a recommendation to the Community
Services Commission to change the name of the new "Senior Center in the Park," to "Senior Center in
Central Park "
