Item Submitted by Councilmember Posey Withdrawn - No Action Taken on November 2016 Advisory Vote on future disposition of Rodgers Seniors' Center In response to a statement made during Public Comments, Councilmember Posey stated that the Municipal Code does allow for an Advisory Vote, and it would cost $8,500 He is asking that before a commitment is made on this City asset, that the entire voting population be allowed to vote He presented a four -point PowerPoint presentation Ballot clearly identified as an "Advisory Vote", must be Council adopted no later than August 11th to be on the ballot in November, Arguments/Rebuttal guidelines, and Important Election Dates He asked his fellow Council members if they support having the City's voting population weigh-in on the disposition of the Rodgers Seniors' Center This process is simply asking for the opinion of the voters Councilmember Hardy questioned what the two choices are for an Advisory Vote Councilmember Posey said the choices are selling the space, or making a dedicated park City Clerk Flynn explained the Registrar of Voters (ROV) office confirmed it is possible to have a ballot item that does not require a "Yes" or "No" response and the City Attorney will craft the proper language to make the options clear to the voters Councilmember Hardy and City Attorney Gates discussed that if the voter majority was to approve the sale of the land, a Measure C Vote would then be necessary Councilmember Hardy stated that in her opinion this process is a giant waste of money, and all the City's parkland needs to be preserved She also noted that three potential developers have already passed on the opportunity to build because she believes they understood very well that the people do not want more housing in that neighborhood Councilmember Peterson understands that since keeping the Rodgers Seniors' Center for community use was part of the vote for building the new Senior Center in the Park, he feels the people have already had the opportunity to vote and doesn't support this item Councilmember Posey responded that one of the arguments made for the new Senior Center in the Park was that the Rodgers Seniors' Center would remain for community use, but that statement was not on the ballot He thinks that since circumstances are a bit different today than they were in 2006, $8,500 is not a big cost to use democracy and allow today's voters to provide their input Councilmember Delgleize voiced her support of what Councilmember Posey stated, and that she supports both Item 16 and Item 17 She explained that residents have asked her why not vote on the matter when plastic bags and fireworks were voted on? Mayor Pro Tern Sullivan shared that three Council members recently observed a meeting at the Rodgers Seniors' Center where the room was full with at least 300 people, and it was obvious that the people in that area want a park in their neighborhood For that reason he will not support Item 17 Councilmember Hardy stated that the cost of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be the City's cost The EIR needs to be completed before the Measure C vote can betaken Any developer who agrees to reimburse the City will Just deduct the cost of the EIR from their price Further, we have a republic system where the people elect the officials to represent their view and she has not heard a single speaker say they support the sale of the Rodgers Seniors' Center Council/PFA Regular Minutes April 18, 2016 Page 18 of 19 Councilmember Peterson stated that the people did not vote directly for the plastic bag or fireworks issues, but voted for the people (Council members) who would represent them on those issues, and he believes the public has already been very vocal on this issue Councilmember Delgleize voiced her opinion that she loves all the parks the City has, and is interested in asking the voters if this is a way to pay for costs of operating those parks Situations have changed in ten years and it is important to her to allow the voters to voice their opinion again Mayor Katapodis shared his opinion that this is an interesting situation, particularly since there have already been three developers back out of a development deal He supports letting people vote, but the way this Item is worded he cannot support it Councilmember Posey asked Mayor Katapodis if he should withdraw Item 17 and come back later with different language Mayor Katapodis agreed that would be a good idea and also stated there was good discussion of the topic tonight Councilmember Posey withdrew Item 17 COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS (Not Agendized) Councilmember O'Connell reported attending the Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce 29th Annual Economic Conference, and the Huntington Beach Library Volunteer Appreciation Event Mayor Pro Tern Sullivan attended the General Meeting of the Orange County Senior Citizens Advisory Council and the Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce Economic Conference where he gave the Welcome on behalf of Mayor Katapodis Councilmember Delgleize also attended the Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce Economic Conference and thanked the local businesses who shared their stories and insights She also attended the Assistance League fundraiser at the Hyatt Councilmember Posey attended "Beyond the Beach" Chamber of Commerce Economic Conference, the H B Library Volunteer Appreciation Event where he sat beside a woman who has volunteered 4,000 hours of the total of 57,000 volunteer hours, and AM Connect Councilmember Peterson reported that many scouts get involved in the Day of Service event, and for those who don't want to paint, or dig in the dirt, there is another option which is to help put food bags together This is an event which greatly impacts our community and everyone is encouraged to get involved Mayor Katapodis reported attending Edison's Home Track Meet, making a presentation for a Sunset Beach Community Association meeting, an Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) meeting, the National Crimes Victims Week candlelight vigil on the pier with Chief Handy, the H B Library Volunteer Appreciation Event at Central Library Event to acknowledge the volunteers who provide the services of 27 employees who would have to be hired if they weren't serving, Opening Day at the New Huntington Beach Oilers Baseball Stadium Ribbon Ceremony where he also pitched a perfect strike, the Kowabunga Van Klan of Huntington Beach event, and an event at the Carpenter Theatre where three Huntington Beach students were awarded scholarships Council/PFA Regular Minutes April 18, 2016 Page 19 of 19 ADJOURNMENT — At 10 00 PM, in memory of Huntington Beach resident Bob Nava who was a Viet Nam Veteran and former Los Angeles Police Officer, to the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Huntington Beach City Council/Public Financing Authority on Monday, May 2, 2016, at 4 00 PM in the Civic Center Council Chambers, 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, California v!
