Funding Source: Funds for the Contract have been budgeted in the Administration Department 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 budgets under General Fund Account #10030201.69365. The total annual cost for this contract is not to exceed $35,000. Recommended Action: Motion to: Approve and Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute Contract Amendment #1 between the City of Huntington Beach and Advocation, Inc. Alternative Action: Do not approve the amendment and direct staff accordingly. REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: July 6, 2009 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: AD 09-12 Analysis Over the past several years, the city has been represented in Sacramento by Advocation, Inc. Recently, the need for these services, precipitated in part by the State's financial situation, has declined. With the downturn in the economy, the city is also faced with a need to reduce operating costs. Because of this, Advocation was approached and agreed to a reduction in their monthly stipend. Under the amended contract, we will pay Advocation a retainer of $2,000 a month. They will continue to monitor those bills on which we have taken a position and to make us aware of legislation that has the potiential to impact the city. They will also be available, should the need arise, to assist the city in meetings on specific issues with the appropriate legislators and/or agencies and to represent the city at a legislative hearing. In those instances where they represent the city in meetings or hearings, they will be paid on an hourly basis at the rate of $250 an hour. The amended contract has an annual limitation of $35,000. This is half the amount of their existing contract. Advocation, Inc. has been an important part of the city's presence in Sacramento. They have established relationships with legislators that allow them to have one-on-one conversations with them or their staff. They have provided us with timely analysis on critical legislation and on the state budget. If approved, this contract will secure the services of Advocation, Inc. as described above, and it will allow us to renew the contract at the same rate for an additional year. Environmental Status: N/A Strategic Plan Goal: Maintain, improve and obtain funding for public improvements.

Council/Agency Meeting Held: % 7 Deferred/Continued to: Approved ❑ Conditionally Approved ❑ Denied Ci CI rk's ignatu e Council Meeting Date: Dec. 17, 2007 Departmen"IDumber: AD 07-24 CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION SUBMITTED TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS SUBMITTED BY: Council, Member Jill Hardy, Chair on behalf of Intergovernmental Relations Committee Members Keith Bohr and Don Hansen PREPARED BY: Patricia Dapkus, Department Analyst SeniorQj—', SUBJECT: Approve a Contract Between the City of Huntington Beach and Advocation, Inc. to Assist the City in Acquisition of State Funding for Priority Projects within the City and Related State Legislative Issues Statement of Issue, Funding Source, Recommended Action, Alternative Action(s), Analysis, Environmental Status, Attachment(s) Statement of Issue: Approval of a new contract between the City of Huntington Beach and Advocation, Inc. for professional services related to the acquisition of state funds for priority projects within the city and related legislative issues. Fundinq Source: Funds for the Contract have been budgeted in the 2007-08 fiscal year budget in Administration's General Fund Account #10030201.69365. The total cost for this contract is not to exceed $70,000. Recommended Action: Motion to: Approve and Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a contract between the City of Huntington Beach and Advocation, Inc. Alternative Action: Do not approve the amendment and direct staff accordingly. MEETING DATE: Dec. 17,2007 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: AD 07- Analysis Over the past five years, the city has been represented in Sacramento by Advocation, Inc. Huntington Beach Municipal Code 3.03.120 stipulates that we go out to bid on contracts after three years. The City Council has waived this requirement for the past two years. This year, in compliance with that code, the Intergovernmental Relations Committee sent out a request for proposals (RFP) to represent the city in Sacramento. The RFP was sent to 11 firms. Proposals were received from Advocation, Inc. and Townsend Public Relations. After review of the proposals and feedback from references, the Committee is recommending that the city enter into a new contract with Advocation, Inc. Having representation in Sacramento has helped the city stay a step ahead in identifying legislation that has the potential to impact the city. It allows us to have a voice in legislative hearings at times when it would be impractical to send a member of staff or City Council. This is particularly important when legislation begins to move with little notice. Advocation, Inc. has become an essential component to the city's presence in Sacramento; they have established relationships with legislators that allow them to have one-on-one conversations with them or their staff. They have been able to provide us copies of draft bills and initiatives often before they are available online, and they provide timely analysis of critical legislation such as the state budget. If approved, this contract will secure the services of Advocation, Inc. for the coming year. It also allows for renewal of the contract, at the city's option, for up to an additional two years. The Intergovernmental Relations Committee is recommending that the City Council approve this contract. Environmental Status: N/A Strategic Plan Goal: Provide quality public services with the highest professional standards to meet community expectations and needs, assuring that the city is sufficiently staffed and equipped overall.

SUBJECT: Additional Information Regarding Selection of a Lobbyist to Represent the City in Sacramento At the City Council meeting of December 17, 2007, the City Council postponed action on the contract for Advocation, Inc. so that additional information could be provided. Attached is a letter from Advocation outlining their accomplishments for the city during the years they have worked with us. It also discusses their plans to assist the city this year. The following are a few highlights of Advocation's accomplishments during the years they have worked with the city. • 2002 - Advocation worked in conjunction with our City Treasurer, Assemblyman Harman, and a consortium of cities in assuring passage of AB 81. Passage of AB 81 protected property tax revenue the city received as a result of having a power facility located within the city. • 2003 - Advocation worked closely with our state legislators in moving forward the city's position on AB 710. AB 710 ultimately established the current configuration of the OCTA Board. • 2004 - Advocation worked closely with our state legislators in moving forward the city's position on AB 2690 (excluding volunteers from prevailing wage requirements when working on local public works projects such as Shipley Nature Center). They also provided timely analysis of critical legislation related to the state budget's impact on the city. • 2005 - Advocation represented the city in hearings regarding Assemblyman Harman's Condo Conversion bill (AB 14) and they helped to get language included in the California Clean Water, Safe Neighborhoods, and Coastal Protection Act (SB 153), which gave acquisition of closed school sites a preference in receiving funding. They also worked with the Mayor, staff, and the Huntington Beach Conference and Visitors Bureau in getting Senator Simitian's Resolution (SCR 60) tabled. It would have designated Santa Cruz as the official "Surf City, USA" for the State of California. • 2006 - Advocation kept us informed on the initiatives being put forth through both the legislative process and the petition process. They also tracked several bills of interest to the city and closely monitor Senator Simitian's, Surf City, USA Resolution (SCR 60) so that we would be able to respond if he brought it back to floor for consideration. Attachment: Letter from Chuck Cole - Advocation, Inc. E-z s s D. AM,`C January 2, 2008 TO: Pat Dapkus FROM: Chuck Cole, President Advocation, Inc. RE: Advocation's 2007 Activities and 2008 Legislative Issues You have asked us to provide a summary of Advocation's activities on behalf of the City of Huntington Beach for 2007 and to identify issues which may be of concern to the City as we enter the 2008 Legislative Session. I am proud of our mutual successes during our representation of the City of Huntington Beach. Advocation has most recently protected the City's interest with respect to helping defeat Senate Concurrent Resolution 60 which would have granted the City of Santa Cruz the distinction of being "Surf City U.S.A." and our efforts (working with the Robert Mayer Corporation) to defeat Assemblyman Lloyd Levine's onerous time share proposal contained in Assembly Bill 1459. Over the course of our eight years representing Huntington Beach we have worked on issues affecting storm water runoff, the acquisition of the Bolsa Chica Mesa using Proposition 50 funding and various water quality related initiatives impacting the quality of life at the public beaches and tourism economy. Advocation also sponsored AB 14 on behalf of the City to prohibit an assessor from assigning any parcel numbers or preparing a separate assessment or separate valuation to divide any existing residential structure into a subdivision, until state and local requirements have been complied with. This bill was an important bill to the City and its constituents as a result of conduct by local officials and developers. We believe 2008 will be an extremely challenging year to protect vital community services, and infrastructure investment in Huntington Beach. January 2, 2008 Page Two Summary of 2007 Activities: The Governor and the Legislature paid a great deal of attention to redistricting, levees and water supply, health care reform, prison reform, disaster preparation, eminent domain and adjusting term limits during the 2007 legislative session. There are currently two special sessions active on healthcare and water and an additional session on the Budget to be called on January 10, 2008. There remain a significant number of two-year bills addressing infrastructure initiative implementation and appropriations for the bonds passed in 2006. We work regularly with the League of California Cities and attend the City caucus meetings on Thursdays, which is an opportunity for lobbyist representing various cities to gather and share information on issues of interest. Advocation reviewed all 3103 measures introduced in the Legislature and actively lobbied and monitored 162 bills on behalf of the City of Huntington Beach. Of particular concern were those major measures that were supported or opposed by City of Huntington Beach including the following: AB 19, AB 258, AB 411, AB 468, AB 630, AB 823, AB 1338, AB 1355, AB 1430, AB 1459, AB 1597, AB 1634, SB 4, SB 5, SB 286, SB 303, SB 645, SB 710, SB 857, SB 964, SB 1000, SB 1028, SCA 12 (please refer to attached chart). Additionally, Advocation worked on measures relating to the 2007-2008 state budget and bond implementation in order to ensure that legislative projects and issues like the following public works identified the City's State and Federal list can be competitive for State funding: stormwater infrastructure and water quality, Gothard/Heil Pump Station, Main Street median improvements, energy efficiency upgrades and replacement, neighborhood street repair, and 171h street downtown storm drains. The following is an update on the implementation of each of the infrastructure bonds passed in November 2006. To date, as noted by the California League of Cities, the following has occurred: Transportation Bond: Proposition 113: This measure provides $19.92 billion for various transportation projects to rebuild California. Priority programs of significant interest to Huntington Beach are: • Local Street and Road Funds: A total of $950 million is available to cities and counties in FY 2007-08. SB 77 (Chapter 171, Statutes of 2007), the main budget bill, allocates $600 million (Item # 9350-104-6065), and SB 88 (Chapter 181, Statutes of 2007), the bond implementation trailer bill, allocates an additional $350 million for this program. January 2, 2008 Page Three Additionally, after the state budget was passed in late August, the Legislature passed two additional clean-up measures in early September affecting this funding: AB 193 (Chapter 313, Statutes of 2007) and AB 196 (Chapter 314, Statutes of 2007), which contained the provisions and amendments that the League and the California State Association of Counties sought to ensure accountable, efficient and effective transportation project delivery. AB 196 specifies that the $950 million is to be appropriated with $550 million for cities and $400 million for counties. The allocation of $550 million to cities in FY 2007-08 guarantees that each city receives a minimum of $400,000, or half of their total bond funds, whichever is greater. However, prior to receiving an allocation, local governments must submit a list of projects expected to be funded with these funds to the Department of Finance (DOF). The DOF will report monthly to the Controller on which agencies have submitted the list to DOF. DOF will begin dispersing funds on January 15, 2008. • Trade Corridor Goods Movement & Emission Reduction: The development of allocation criteria for the $3.1 billion "goods movement" and air quality improvement programs remains underway. SB 9 (Lowenthal) and SB 19 (Lowenthal) are the main legislative vehicles seeking to define this program. These bills are stalled for the year, however, $250 million ( included in SB 77, Chapter 171, Statutes of 2007, item# 3900- 001-6054) was allocated in the budget to the Air Resources Board to fund projects in FY 2007-08 intended to improve air quality along four of California's major transportation corridors: from the Los Angeles ports to the Inland Empire, State Route 99 in the Central Valley, the San Francisco Bay Area, and the San Diego border region. • State -Local Partnership: There are two measures in the Legislature that attempt to define the $1 billion State -Local Partnership Program, which requires a local match to access transportation bond funds - AB 1351 (Levine) and SB 748 (Corbett). These bills differ in the criteria for eligible matching funds. AB 1351 includes only sales tax dedicated to transportation as a match, thus limiting the program only to "self-help" counties. SB 748 broadens the local match to also include all voter approved taxes and fees, bridge tolls and Uniform Developer fees. • Local Bridge Seismic Retrofit: $13.5 million was allocated (SB 77, item # 2660-104- 6062) to the California Transportation Commission for this program, to be allocated prior to June 30, 2010. An additional $2.8 million maybe expended for this program with the approval of the Department of Finance. Funds will be administered by Caltrans to provide the federal match requirement for local agencies for work on bridges, overpasses, and ramps. • High -Priority Grade Separation Projects: $122.5 million (SB 77, item# 2660-104- 6063) was allocated for high -priority grade separation projects. Guidelines for this program must be adopted by February 15, 2008. Prior to adoption, the California January 2, 2008 Page Four Transportation Commission will hold two hearings, one north and one south, to get public input on the draft guidelines. • Public Transportation Capital Improvements: Prop. 1B designated $4 billion for various transit improvements, of which $3.6 billion will be distributed per an established formula among the state's transit agencies. SB 88 (Chapter 181, Statutes of 2007) contains additional allocation criteria. The budget bill (SB 77, item# 2640-104-6059) appropriates $600 million for these transit capital improvements projects. Housing and Infrastructure Bond: Proposition 1C: This measure allocates $2.85 billion for housing and infrastructure projects, most of which will be distributed by the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Approximately half of the bond, $1.45 billion, will fund existing programs including the Multifamily Housing Program (MHP), Emergency Housing Assistance Program (EHAP), and Building Equity and Growth in Neighborhoods (BEGIN) programs. The remaining $1.4 billion is designated for infill infrastructure ($850 million), parks ($200 million), transit -oriented development ($300 million), and innovative programs ($100 million). • Funding for Infill Infrastructure: $240 million has been made available for a wide variety of capital improvements to support infill development. Grants are available to local agencies and non-profit or for profit developers for developing in qualifying infill areas. Housing element compliance is a precondition. 15% of housing units must be affordable (for very low income households if the units are rental, or for moderate income households if the units are owner -occupied). Priorities will be given to projects that can demonstrate project readiness, higher density, proximity to transit, parks, schools and jobs, consistency with adopted regional blueprints, and demonstrated local support. Additional guidelines are to be developed by HCD. (SB 86, Chapter 179, Statutes of 2007, Sections 27, 28 and 39 contain definitions and criteria. SB 77, the budget bill, contains the appropriation, item #2240-101-6069). Additionally, AB 1053 (Chapter 692, Statutes of 2007) authorizes business improvement districts to apply for these funds through a joint application with a city or county. • Brownfield Remediation: $60 million is allocated for loans and grants to cleanup brownfields that promote infill residential and mixed use development consistent with regional and local land use plans. This program is required to be administered, in consultation with HCD, through the California Recycle Underutilized Sites (CALReUse) program operated under the state Treasurer's Office. (SB 86, Chapter 179, Statutes of 2007, Sections 27, 28 and 39 contain definitions and criteria. SB 77, the budget bill, contains the appropriation, item #2240-101-6069). • Transit Oriented Development: $95 million is allocated to a program created under Proposition 1 C designed to provide assistance to public agencies and developers with January 2, 2008 Page Five developing higher density housing within one -quarter mile of a transit station (SB 77, item # 2240-101-9736). • Parks and Housing: The budget did not contain an allocation for the $200 million that was included in Prop. I for parks. AB 1252 (Caballero), a League supported bill, which contained implementation criteria for this program was held in the Senate Appropriations Committee. • Housing Innovations Fund: SB 586 (Chapter 652, Statutes of 2007) allocates the $100 million from Proposition 1 C for the Housing Innovations Fund among four programs as follows: 1) $35 million is designated for the local housing trust fund matching grant program established under Proposition 46; 2) $50 million is designated to fund the acquisition of property to develop or preserve affordable housing; 3) $5 million is available for the Construction Liability Insurance Reform Pilot Program (The purpose of the program is to promote best practices for residential construction quality control as a means of reducing insurance rates for condominium developers); and, 4) $10 million is available to increase and maintain affordable homeownership opportunities for Californians with lower incomes. Proposition 84: Environmental Quality Bond: This measure designates $5.4 billion for improving natural resources and water programs including state projects and flood control, safe drinking water, water quality improvement, integrated water management, water planning and sustainable communities. No funding was appropriated for these purposes in the budget. However, several measures remain to be debated, including: • $400 Million in Park Funds: AB 31(De Leon) is in position as the central remaining vehicle for allocating these funds, as other bills have either been amended or stopped. Significant additional amendments are expected in 2008. • $90 Million in Planning Funds & $90 Million in Urban Greening: SB 732 (Steinberg), was comprehensively revised within the last several days of the legislative session to focus primarily on the allocation of these funds. This measure creates a "Sustainable Communities Council" to coordinate the activities of various state agencies that aim to improve air and water quality, natural resource protection, affordable housing, and transportation through land use planning. It is likely that additional discussions will take place on how to best spend these funds during the 2008 legislative year, which may lead to additional legislative proposals. Proposition 1E: Levee Bond: This bond designates $4.09 billion in bond funding for critical river levee repair and construction, flood control projects and the updating and January 2, 2008 Page Six repair of old water mains and sewer systems. It also includes $290 million to create flood protection corridors and floodplain mapping. SB 85 (Chapter 178, Statutes of 2007), a budget trailer bill, establishes several reporting requirements related to the expenditure of bond funds for levees, and limits local cost share requirements for the facilities part of the State Plan of Flood Control and specified urban areas. Proposition 1D: Education Facilities Bond: This bond establishes $10.5 billion for performing school building repairs, and providing innovative learning facilities for California students, including seismic retrofitting and classroom repairs. One of the open issues is the allocation of $29 million to fund joint -use projects for construction of K-12 school facilities. SB 35 (Torkalson) proposes to expand the definition of projects and what is considered local contributions under the school facilities joint -use program. 2008 PROJECTIONS: The state budget has a deficit for the remainder of the current fiscal year and the next fiscal year in the current amount of $14 billion. Additionally, all of the two-year bills that remain active in the legislature will need to be monitored and reviewed by the City to determine the individual impacts and decide if positions are to be taken. These include measures relating to expenditure of the infrastructure bond measures. Among the issues that remain at the forefront of the 2008 session is eminent domain. The Howard Jarvis group has an initiative that will be similar to Prop. 90; it also contains vacancy de -control so that if a unit becomes vacant, rent control is eliminated. The Redevelopment Association and the League of Cities is sponsoring a measure that will apply to single family residences and it will include a provision that if the League measure gets more votes than the Jarvis measure, the League's provisions will take effect. Additionally, there are numerous regulatory and statutory matters that pertain to global climate change. There are 15 scoping groups at the Air Resources Board which are looking at issues and will make recommendations for policy changes. Senator Steinberg's SB 375, which relates to affordable housing, remains very active and Advocation participated in a lobbying collation that was seeking amendments to make the measure more compatible to Huntington Beach's desires. We will continue to pursue funding from all of the infrastructure initiatives for projects in Huntington Beach. This includes funding from the $3 billion in goods movement, $0.5 billion in local partnership money, Proposition 84, the $900 million for infill development and parks, as well as transit dollars and water bond funds. January 2, 2008 Page Seven There are proposals before the Legislature to increase waste diversion beyond the current 50% level to 75% by the year 2020. Additionally, there may be some public safety money to assist in fighting gang crimes. We will continue to remind the Legislature that Prop. 1A, which protects local government funding, passed by an 84% vote and that the need for the Prop. 42 dollars remain as high as ever. The Governor has announced that a fiscal emergency will be declared when his budget is submitted and this will likely lead to potential efforts that will put enormous pressure on the Administration to cut local resources. If there were ever a need to have representation in Sacramento for the City of Huntington Beach, 2008 is the year in which it occurs. Lastly, we have a great opportunity to assist the City of Huntington Beach in it's Washington D.C. efforts since Ron Loveridge, Chuck Cole's faculty advisor at the University of California at Riverside and the person most responsible for Mr. Cole's being in Sacramento, is the incoming president of the National League of Cities. As estimates of the California's chronic general fund budget problem continue to grow, we must remember that it wasn't too long ago when the California Legislature looked to local revenues to help solve budget shortfalls. We'll need to protect against cuts to cities, Redevelopment Agencies, Prop. 42 and property tax raids. Prop. lA prohibits the state from: • Shifting property taxes from cities, counties or special districts with certain exceptions; Reducing the local Bradley Burns Uniform Sales & Use Tax rate or altering its method of allocation (except to comply with federal law or an interstate compact); • Decreasing vehicle license fee (VLF) revenue from the 0.65 percent rate without providing replacement funding to cities and counties. The state may charge for administrative costs (California Department of Motor Vehicles, Controller) and the Legislature retains the power to change state law allocating VLF revenue among cities and counties; and • Failing to reimburse to cities and counties for local sales tax revenues shifted to fund state economic recovery bonds under the triple -flip. Prop. lA also expands definition of "state mandate" to include the transfer of responsibility of a program for which the state previously had full or partial responsibility. Under Prop. IA, the state is required to suspend any state mandate upon local government in any year the Legislature does not fully fund the mandate, including for all costs incurred in prior years. January 2, 2008 Page Eight Beginning in FY 2008-09, the Legislature may temporarily suspend the property tax revenue protection provisions of Prop. I under certain very restrictive conditions. The Legislature may "borrow" not more than 8 percent of total property tax revenues (currently around $2 billion) if: l . The Governor issues a proclamation of "severe fiscal hardship;" 2. The Legislature enacts an urgency statute suspending Prop. I property tax protection with two-thirds vote of each house; and 3. The Legislature enacts a law providing for full repayment of the "borrowed funds" plus interest within three years The Legislature may not enact such a suspension more than twice in any 10-year period and may only do so if any previous borrowing under this provision has been repaid. Prop. 42 of 2002 earmarked revenues from the state sales tax on gasoline for transportation purposes including local streets and roads. Under longstanding provisions of Prop. 42 and its implementing legislation, cities and counties received no allocations this year. In FY 2008-09, however, cities are due to receive nearly $300 million (allocated on a per capita basis), with a like amount allocated to counties, and another $300 million to public transportation. In November 2006, the voters of California approved another Prop. IA, this one providing protections for the Prop. 42 transportation sales taxes. Similar to the property tax protections in Prop. IA of 2004, the 2006 measure provides that the Legislature may borrow revenues Prop. 42, but only under the same stipulations posted for Prop. lA (2004) listed above. The state budget is expected to carry over a debt from FY 2007-08. That amount, combined with the projected shortfall between spending and revenue, brings the deficit to nearly $14 billion. Confirming the budgetary news at a press conference on Wednesday, November 14, Legislative Analyst Elizabeth Hill also cautioned that the shortfall is anticipated for a number of years into the future. The LAO identified several factors contributing to the state's budget problem, including the lower state revenue projections due to the economy's current outlook, lower property taxes and impact on K-14 education funding. Additional factors include an expected delay in the sale of EdFund and its value, the delay in new tribal compact implementation and a court ordered payment to the state's teacher retirement system. The Governor will issue his proposed Fiscal Year 2008-09 State Budget on January 10, 2008 and the fireworks will begin. 2008 will be a very challenging year in Sacramento and Advocation would be very proud to continue to serve as Huntington Beach's state lobbyist.
