Item submitted by Mayor Delgleize approved as amended — Request to contribute to the Surfing Circle of Honor, Celebrating Surfing in the Summer Games Mayor Delgleize introduced this item by providing some details on the efforts of Diana Dehm and other local surfers to invest in Surf City legends, an opportunity to become Surf City Village for the Summer Games, as well as an attempt to break the Guinness Book for World Records for the "World's Largest Paddle Out". Mayor Pro Tern Posey expressed that for him there is a fine line between government and private enterprise; however, the contribution requested is a very finite part of the budget. He provided support for the item, citing that the Largest Paddle Out will be a kick-off event for the 4th of July celebration, and other summer events that will attract many tourists. Council/PFA Regular Minutes May 15, 2017 Page 8 of 12 Councilmember Brenden and Mayor Delgleize discussed the previous contribution to the Big Board event. Councilmember Brenden asked Diana Dehm to define a "Grom" for the benefit of the public. Ms. Dehm explained that a Grom is any surfer whose age is between Kindergarten and Eighth Grade. Ms. Dehm further stated there will be 10 to 66 year -old surfers involved in the Largest Paddle Out. Councilmember Brenden expressed his support for this item just based on the fact that it involves surfing legends as well as beginners, and for the media exposure that Surf City will receive. Councilmember Semeta shared that the community support for this item is contagious and she is in full support of attempting not only the Largest Paddle Out, but also to have the Summer Games Surf City in Huntington Beach. Councilmember Hardy expressed her struggle between government and private enterprise, but also realizes that the City will have to show strong support and investment in surfing to enhance the quest to become Surf City for the Summer Games, and therefore she also supports this item. A motion was made by Delgleize, second Brenden to if Council support is received, have the City Manager and City Attorney draft an agreement to contribute $10,000 to the Huntington Beach International Surfing Museum for its "Surfing Circle of Honor - Celebrating Surfing In the Summer Games" in an attempt to break the Guinness Book for World Records for "World's Largest Paddle Out" and to demonstrate Huntington Beach support as the Surfing Village of the Summer Games. The motion carried by the following vote: AYES: Semeta, Posey, Delgleize, Hardy, Brenden, and Peterson NOES: None RECUSED: O'Connell 6. Item submitted by Councilmembers Semeta and Peterson approved as amended -- Review of Republic Services Contract for Waste Management Services Councilmember Semeta stated that the same vendor has been used for about the last fifty (50) years and it has been about ten (10) years since the contract has been reviewed. Republic has indicated support for updating the contract. The laws are changing regarding how refuse is handled; the automatic renewal feature should be reviewed, as well as looking at whether the City is receiving adequate compensation for the wear and tear on the streets. Councilmember Peterson stated his belief that regular contract competition could be beneficial to the City's residents, and even if there is a long-term contract negotiated, it should not renew automatically. Mayor Pro Tem Posey asked for clarification, as this item is listed as a review of the Republic Services Contract, but the call for action is to work with the City Attorney to begin negotiations. Councilmember Semeta confirmed that this Item is a call to form an ad hoc committee which both she and Councilmember Peterson are interested in serving on, and to begin negotiations. Mayor Pro Tern Posey stated that the Charter precludes the City Council from being the negotiating arm in contracts, and in his opinion the Council is -free to investigate, review and participate in the process without an Agenda Item. For these reasons, he spoke in opposition of the item as presented. Councilmember Peterson explained that while final negotiations will be with the City Manager, the item has been brought forward because staff resources will be required for the process. He also expressed support to begin work now to review the contract details and determine the issues that need to be Council/PFA Regular Minutes May 15, 2017 Page 9 of 12 addressed in preparation for providing details to Council so that recommendations can be defined and approved through normal contract procedures. Mayor Delgleize expressed appreciation to CounciImembers Semeta and Peterson for bringing this item forward. She also expressed concern about utilizing the proper process and recommended forming an ad hoc committee with three CounciImembers. Councilmember Semeta and City Attorney Gates discussed that an ad hoc committee is very informal and there is nothing in this item that should keep it from moving forward. Discussion ensued on timeline review, actual negotiations taking place in a closed session, and final determination being made in an open session. CounciImembers Semeta and Peterson expressed being open to a modified motion. Councilmember Brenden expressed his support for reviewing the Republic Services Contract, especially in light of the fact that Fountain Valley has recently negotiated a fixed -term contract with Republic. He supports using an ad hoc committee as part of the process that includes a Study Session report. Councilmember Peterson re -iterated that this item as presented was never intended to side-step any part of the negotiation process or exclude anyone, rather, it was intended to get Council approval for the staff time that will be required to review past reports and gather information to report back to the Council. Mayor Delgleize, Mayor Pro Tern Posey, CounciImembers Hardy and O'Connell all expressed support for the item If the term "negotiation" is changed to "review". A motion was made by Semeta, second Peterson to form an Ad Hoc Committee comprised of CounciImembers Peterson, Semeta and Posey to review the City's contract with Republic Services for Waste Management, and work with the City Manager and City Attorney's offices to compile a report for presentation to the City Council within 60 days. The motion carried by the following vote: AYES: O'Connell, Semeta, Posey, Delgleize, Hardy, Brenden, and Peterson NOES: None 7. Item submitted by Councilmember Brenden and Mayor Pro Tom Posey approved as amended — Downtown Maintenance and Repairs Councilmember Brenden introduced this item, explaining that Main Street and Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) are considered the "front door" to the City, and stressed the importance of the area representing the City's esthetic standards. After presenting photographs that depict problem areas, he discussed how downtown visitors create wear and tear at an accelerated pace and stated support for a collaborative approach between the City and area property and business owners to ensure continued and proper maintenance and repair. Mayor Pro Tern Posey stated he has completed many walking tours of the area with both Kim Kramer and Bob Bolen which made him truly aware of conditions. The downtown area is the gateway to the City for many people, and this is Phase 1 for improving conditions throughout the City. Council/PFA Regular Minutes May 15, 2017 Page 10 of 12 Councilmember Peterson asked why the Downtown Business Improvement District and Visit Huntington Beach are not asked to get involved in the process of identifying areas of concern, or to commit financial resources to the effort. He also stated that most City parks exhibit the same conditions as shown in the pictures, and in his opinion, these conditions are not unique to the downtown. Mayor Pro Tern Posey stated that if this process had started maybe six months ago, Councilmember Peterson's suggested process would be more appropriate. However, in his opinion, because the summer season of events and increased tourism is nearly here, the City needs to step up and take a position of leadership now, especially after the resurfacing of Main Street and curb painting. He concurred that parks also need attention, but pointed out that they have their own funding. He stated that clean, safe and sanitary experiences in the downtown area this summer for visitors attending events such as the Great Paddle Out, July 4th festivities and U. S. Open will help ensure that they return again and again and stay as long as possible. Councilmember Hardy expressed concern about the lack of costs associated with this item, and suggested that Code Enforcement and Public Works staff be directed to provide action items with the cost. In her opinion, there is an urgent need that should be addressed now. City Manager Fred Wilson explained tasks already included in the current maintenance agreement between the City and BID that is scheduled to expire in October of 2017. He added that there has been ongoing discussion about bathrooms, and about involving Code Enforcement. Mayor Pro Tern Posey his opinion that if the City can step in and take care of some of the very obvious "low hanging" conditions, that this would encourage property and business owners and the BID to follow suit. He also didn't see a need to involve Code Enforcement at this stage. Councilmember Semeta stated she is in support of the comments made by fellow Council members, and suggests that the list of action items and costs include the responsible party. Mayor Pro Tern stated that the intention is to have Public Works do an inspection, create a list in descending order of importance with cost, and who is responsible, so that the downtown will shine again. Councilmember Brenden supports providing a maintenance list with costs and responsibility. He also voiced his opinion that the BID is not comprised of "public works" professionals, and he has concerns about expanding the BID's responsibilities to include "public works" functions. He further stated that the spirit of this effort is for the City to show leadership and encourage collaboration in maintaining the downtown area. Councilmember Peterson stated that in order to support this item he needs to see costs before commencement of work. Councilmember Brenden stated that once the list is compiled, the work will commence because those responsible will clearly see the issues that need to be addressed. He further explained that this item is not to approve additional funding, but to ensure those responsible are fully aware of the existing issues. Councilmember Hardy stated that she believes Public Works is aware of the issues, but they might need assistance in determining priorities. She also suggested that Part B, after the first sentence, of the Recommended Action is not necessary. A motion was made by Brenden, second Posey to direct the City Manager to work with City Departments and the Downtown BID to compile a list of repair and maintenance issues related to public areas within Council/PFA Regular Minutes May 15, 2017 Page 11 of 12 30 days. The list oflaction items in descending order of importance and dollar amount shall include graffiti and sticker removal, steam -cleaning of sidewalks and gutters, general repairs, maintenance, and any other sub -standard conditions, and assignment of action.

The area to be included is bounded by VS Street, 61h Street, PCH, and Pecan Avenue. Also included would be the Municipal Pier, Pierside Pavilion, and the Beach Boardwalk (i.e., service road). The motion carried by the following vote: AYES: Semeta, Posey, Delgleize, Hardy, Brenden, and Peterson NOES: None ' RECUSED: O'Connell COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS (Not Agendized) Mayor Pro Tenn Posey recommends checking out the big face lift at 5th and PCH, specifically the new menu and remodel "OrSimmzy's .Pub, Councilmember O'Connell reported attending the Every 15 Minutes event that shows high school student's the tragic results of driving under the influence, the Golden West College Groundbreaking Ceremony for the new Math -Science Building and STEM Center, the Therapeutic Riding Center of Huntington Beach - 9th Annual Derby Day Fundraiser, and the Taste of Huntington Beach and Kiwanis Golf Tournament.
