23. 18-162 — Approved City Council Positions on Legislation pending before the State
Legislature as recommended by the City Council Intergovernmental Relations Committee
(IRC)
Mayor Pro Tem Peterson pulled this item to state his "No" vote on Recommended Action D (AB448)
regarding Orange County Housing Trust Fund, because in his opinion adding more government is rarely
a viable solution; however, he hopes that the plan will work.
Councilmember O'Connell and Kelsey Brewer, Legislative Affairs Manager for the Association of
California Cities — Orange County (ACC-OC) discussed that the Housing Trust Fund would not support
emergency housing. The bill as written, in Section 2, states housing for homelessness, including but not
limited to permanent housing, extremely low, very low and low income housing. Section 3 states that the
guidelines of the funding source must be followed, therefore, if the funding source allows for emergency
housing it could be possible; however, presently there are no funding sources that include emergency
housing.
Councilmember O'Connell stated his concern that over the years Housing and Urban Development has
been eliminating transitional housing and the least amount of funds were providing the greatest number
of beds. Now, however, they have flipped that and more money is being used for the least amount of
beds. In Councilmember O'Connell's opinion, transitional housing has tremendously reduced
homelessness in the community, but is now receiving less funding.
Mayor Posey and Ms. Brewer discussed that permanent supportive housing is a national model to end
chronic homelessness. People with addiction, mental illness, or who have been homeless for over 10
years meet chronic homeless criteria. The chronic homeless cost the most money and it is felt that in the
long run it will save funds to address the needs of these individuals.
Councilmember Delgleize stated her support for this item because it does not raise taxes, and a city can
choose whether they participate. Councilmember Delgleize sees this as an opportunity to develop
workable solutions that will make an impact on the problem of homelessness.
Councilmember O'Connell stated his support for this item, and believes that private/public partnerships
do work to not only positively impact the current generation, but also future generations.
Councilmember Brenden stated that there is bi-partisan support for this Assembly Bill, including Orange
County representatives. He also reiterated that this is about money that is already in Sacramento, and
Council/PFA Regular Minutes
July 16, 2018
Page 10 of 15
currently for Orange County there is no concerted effort to access the available funds. In his opinion, an
Orange County Housing Trust Fund would allow for more efficient and effective use of funds.
A motion was made by Peterson, second O'Connell to approve a City position of Oppose Senate Bill 946
(Lara) - Sidewalk Vendors; and, approve a City position of Oppose on Senate Bill 998 (Dodd) -
Discontinuation of Residential Water Service; and, approve a City position of Oppose on Senate Bill 623
(Monning) - Water Quality: Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund; and, approve a City position of
Support on Assembly Bill 448 (Daly) - Orange County Housing Trust Fund.
The motion carried by the following vote:
SB 946, SB 998 and SB 623:
AYES: O'Connell, Semeta, Peterson, Posey, Delgleize, Hardy, and Brenden
NOES: None

A motion was made by Delgleize, second O'Connell to adopt Resolution No. 2018-46, "A Resolution of
the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Confirming the Report of the Director of Public Works

where the parking rate has been increased, as amended.

permanent parking rate modifications for annual parking pass holders during events where the parking
rate has been increased.
Councilmember O'Connell stated that he agrees with Councilmember Brenden
Councilmember Hardy stated her support of the position taken by Councilmembers Brenden and
O'Connell.
Councilmember Delgleize and Director of Community Services Knight discussed that the Council had
last year asked that staff provide an alternative option to black -out dates for annual parking pass holders,
while also keeping in mind the purpose of the increased parking fees is to offset extra expenses for
public safety.
Councilmember Brenden and Director Knight discussed details of parking passes including donations to
City non -profits, the give-away through local auto dealer sales, as well as City board and commission
members. Councilmember Brenden requested a staff report detailing parking pass donations.
Councilmember Semeta stated she does not believe that a majority of the annual parking pass holders
would object to paying an extra $15 a couple times a year for special events.
Mayor Posey stated his concern about making a change affecting annual parking pass holders,
especially since there is currently no accurate analysis of annual parking pass statistics.
A motion was made by Brenden, second O'Connell to adopt Resolution 2018-48, "A Resolution of the
City Council of the City of Huntington Beach amending Resolution 2018-29 which established a
Consolidated Comprehensive Citywide Master Fee and Charges Schedule (Supplemental Fee
Resolution 6)" as amended to remove language to levy a $15 upcharge to annual parking pass
holders during specific events.

ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS
28. 18-151 — Accepted Rainbow Environmental Services' proposal for a Commercial Organic
Waste Recycling Program including a 2.18% Commercial Trash Rate Adjustment
City Manager Wilson briefly reviewed information provided by Rainbow Services and the impact on rates
for commercial accounts, and introduced Senior Administrative Analyst Debra Jubinsky who presented a
PowerPoint communication entitled Mandatory Commercial Organics Recycling with slides titled:
Background, AB 1826 Requirements, Rainbow Proposed Program (6), Summary and Questions.
Councilmember Delgleize confirmed with Analyst Jubinsky that no refuse from this program will be
disposed of within the City.
Councilmember Semeta asked Chris Kentopp, Rainbow General Manager, how this proposal compares
to industry best practices. Mr. Kentopp could only confirm that there are about ten other Orange County
communities that have signed up for similar programs. Jennifer Wallen, a representative of Cal Recycle,
stated that Solid Waste of America (SWA) reports that the major push is to spread the burden of cost
across the commercial sector.
Mayor Posey stated that this is a case of Sacramento making a mandate but providing no funding to
implement. In this case, the Tier I Commercial restaurants who create the most organic waste are
carrying the cost burden.
A motion was made by Delgleize, second O'Connell to accept Rainbow Environmental Services'
proposal for Organic Waste Recycling program to comply with AB 1826.
The motion carried by the following vote:

29. 18-165 — Accepted existing City Council Travel Protocol and Established Policies
— NO VOTE TAKEN
City Manager Wilson presented a PowerPoint communication entitled City Council Travel Protocol and
Established Policies with slides titled: Background, Current Practices, Best Practices, Potential Options
to Consider and Questions.
Mayor Pro Tern Peterson expressed his support for the historical protocol where the Mayor represents
everyone.
Councilmember Delgleize asked Councilmember Hardy to explain the historical protocol. Councilmember
Hardy responded that each Councilmember has a travel budget, and if/when those funds are depleted,
any additional travel would have to be funded by another Councilmember who still has travel funds
available. In the case of too many Councilmembers wanting to make the same trip, seniority determines
who goes.
Councilmember Brenden asked for clarification on "seniority." Councilmember Hardy explained that in
this situation, seniority is determined by Councilmember position with the Mayor having first right of
