SUBJECT: Approve a contract amendment with MuniFinancial for the Holtz D-n.r
Seacliff Impact Fee
Statement of Issue, Funding Source, Recommended Action, Alternative Action(s), Analysis, Environmental Status, Attachm (s)
Statement of Issue: Should the City Council approve a contract amendment with
MuniFinancial to provide for the Holly-Seacliff Impact Fee.
Funding Source: Funds in the amount of $15,000 are available in Traffic Impact Fund,
contract services. 20685210.69365.
Recommended Action: Motion to: Approve, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to
execute the contract amendment with MuniFinancial to complete preparation of the Holly-
Seacliff Impact Fee -Report.
Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the contract amendment.
Analysis: MuniFinancial was the firm selected to prepare the Holly-Seacliff Traffic Impact
Fee Report. It was originally estimated that the cost of this work would not -exceed $20,000.
Consequently, it was not necessary to obtain City Council approval for the contract.
Since then, the work necessary to complete this project has expanded, to a revised budget of
$35,000. Accordingly, Council approval is requested for the contract amendment.
As a matter of background, in December 1990, the City and Pacific Coast Homes entered
into the Holly-Seacliff Development Agreement. The Development Agreement provided for
2001-013 MuniFinancial -2- 5/29/01 4:13 PM t
REQUEST FOR ACTION
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2001 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CA 01-013
the development of a residential and commercial project of approximately 545 acres
bounded generally by Central Park and Ellis Avenue on the north, Huntington and Main
Streets on the east, Yorktown.and Clay Avenues on the south, and the City of. Huntington
Beach boundary line on the west ("Holly-Seacliff'). In May 1996, the City consented to the
sale of a portion of the Holly-Seacliff property to PLC, a California general partnership, and
the remainder to MS Vickers, II, a Delaware limited liability company. As part of the transfer,
PLC agreed to assume the obligations -to install and pay for the public facilities required
under the Development Agreement.
The Development Agreement required (among other things) for the Developer to construct
certain traffic and circulation improvements, specifically Main, Garfield, Edwards,
Goldenwest, Ellis, and Gothard (the "Arterials"). The Development Agreement also obliged
the City to (1) determine the extent to which these road improvements created street
capacity in excess of the amount necessary to serve the Holly-Seacliff development; and (2)
reimburse the Developer for the excess capacity from fees or exactions from other
developments that.would be served by the excess street capacity.
IV
When the City and PLC failed to agree on the reimbursement obligation for the $35,300,000
in roads and. arterial improvements PLC installed, PLC initially sought to arbitrate its cost
reimbursement as permitted under the Development Agreement. Ultimately, the City and
PLC entered into a Settlement Agreement on April 17, 2000 that, among other things,
authorized reimbursing PLC from the property owners adjacent to the Arterials in the amount
of the cost of ten (10) feet of pavement, plus curb, gutter and sidewalk, and related
acquisition costs. Absent PLC's construction of the Arterials, these property owners would
have been required to install these same improvements as a condition of development.
Consequently, the Settlement Agreement provides that these property owners would pay
these costs as a condition of their development. More specifically, the first $812,000 the City
receives from these property owners will be paid to PLC. All further amounts will be retained
by the City, in order to reimburse the City for the $500,000 it has already paid PLC for the
completion of Gothard between Garfield and Main, and the completion of Goldenwest
between Garfield and Ellis.
In order to implement this portion of the Settlement Agreement, the City contracted with
MuniFinancial to prepare a report setting forth its recommendation on the appropriate Traffic
Impact Fee. The draft report has been completed.
Ultimately, this report will form the basis of a fee to be established pursuant to a City
ordinance and resolution. The ordinance and resolution will be considered by the City
Council at a public hearing.
In anticipation of the public hearing, City Staff is circulating the draft report so that property
owners may review it and provide comments prior to the public hearing. In order to further
explain the report, City Staff has set an information meeting on June 7, at 10:00 a.m. in the
City Council Chambers.

DATE: June 14, 2001
SUBJECT: Holly-Seacliff Traffic Impact Fee;
MuniFinancial Contract Amendment
At its last meeting, the City Council requested more detail regarding the consultant's fees for
preparing the Holly-Seacliff Traffic Impact Fee. Enclosed please find a revised budget. This
attachment would replace the Exhibit A to the contract previously submitted to the City Council.
As a matter of background, the consultant has completed Tasks 1 and 2, and has begun Task 3.
The hourly rates are being retained at $125.00 per hour and $85.00 per hour for associates, not
the $180.00 per hour originally stated in the RCA.
In connection with performing a further detailed review of the right-of-way acquisition history,
Task 3 was added. We are also conducting two days of individual property owner meetings. ,,
Depending upon the nature of questions submitted by property owners, additional work may be
necessary. Should this occur, we will request further City Council approval before proceeding, if
the cost exceeds 15% of the budget ($5,640).
Recommended Action:
Based on the above information, Staff is recommending that the City Council approve the
Recommended Action as listed below:
Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the First Amendment to the
Professional Services Contract between the City and MuniFinancial for Traffic Impact
Fee Study with the attached amended Exhibit A.

CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
Inter -Department Communication
TO: HOM MAYOR and MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: GAIL HUTTON, City Attorney
DATE: June 4, 2001
SUBJECT: Item No. E-19 on the City Council Agenda of June 4, 2001
entitled "Approve First Amendment to Professional Services Contract Between
the City and Muni Financial for the Holly Seacliff Impact Fee (PLC Land
Company, Developer)"
Agenda Item E-19 requests that the Council approve a contract to complete the Holly Seacliff
Traffic Impact Fee Program. It is anticipated that the Fee Program will be presented to the City
Council during September 2001.
The Agenda Item does not request approval of the Program. It merely requests approval of the
consultant's contract to complete the work necessary for the Council to be able to consider the
Program. The question has arisen what obligation the City has to complete this staff work.
On April 17, 2000 the City entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Release
with PLC. (A copy of the Agreement is attached.)
One particularly critical provision of the Agreement addresses Traffic and Circulation
Improvements. It provides that the City shall pay PLC "Reimbursable Costs" in the amount of
$1,312,000. The first $500,000 would be payable in two separate payments of $250,000 each,
the first due upon the completion of Goldenwest between Ellis Avenue and Summit Drive, the
second upon the completion of Gothard between Garfield Avenue and Main Street. The
Agreement further provides that "The City, in good faith, shall attempt to establish a major
thoroughfare and bridge fee program, an impact fee program, an integrated finance district, or
similar program to reimburse PLC the remaining $812,000." (Section 2.5.1 of the Agreement.)
Finally, the Agreement provides that the failure of the City to establish the district "shall not be
deemed a breach of the Settlement Agreement." (Section 2.5.2).
The consulting agreement to complete the work on the Traffic Impact Fee is intended to satisfy
the City's obligation to attempt, "in good faith" to establish an impact fee program. The City has
no obligation to actually establish a program. However, failure to even proceed with completing
the impact fee proposal will be argued to be a lack of good faith. For these reasons, we
Page 2 •
Mayor and City Council
Agenda Item E-19
recommend that the City Council approve the Amendment to the Consulting Agreement so that
this matter can be properly considered by the City Council in September 2001.

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
AND MUTUAL GENERAL RELEASE
This SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND MUTUAL GENERAL RELEASE
("Agreement") is entered into as of April 17, 2000, by and between the CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH, a California municipal corporation (the "City"), and PLC, a
California general partnership ("PLC").
RECITALS
A. Effective December 5, 1990, the City and Pacific Coast Homes, a
California corporation, and Garfield Partners, a California corporation (collectively,
"Developer") entered into Development Agreement No. 90-1 ("Development
Agreement") which was recorded in the Official Records of Orange County, California as
Document No. 90-599766 on November 14, 1990.
B. The Development Agreement provides for the development of a
residential and commercial development of approximately 545 acres of real property in
City (the "Project"). The development area is bounded generally by Central Park and
Ellis Avenue on the north, Huntington and Main Streets on the east, Yorktown and Clay
Avenues on the south, and the City of Huntington Beach boundary line on the west (the
"Property")
C. The Development Agreement provides, among other things, for the
Developer to construct certain public facilities and to pay certain public facilities fees to
the City and for the City to: (1) determine the cost of the public facilities required under
the Development Agreement that are in excess of those required to service the Project
("Reimbursable Costs"); (2) reimburse Developer for its verified Reimbursable Costs
from funds generated by fees or exaction from other developments served by the excess
capacity of the public facilities, and (3) to the extent lawful, apportion any Reimbursable
Costs not reimbursed from fees or exactions in an equitable manner between the
Developer and any subsequent developer(s) which are found to benefit from the public
facilities.

SF-OOAgree-PLC Settlement Agreement
3/31/00
•
D. Effective May 6, 1996, City consented to the sale of a portion of the
Property from Developer to PLC, a California general partnership ("PLC"), and the
remaining portion of the Property to MS Vickers, II, L.0 a Delaware limited liability
company ("MS Vickers")
E. As a condition of the transfer, PLC agreed to assume the Developer's
obligation to install or pay for the fire and police facilities, sewer, storm drain and water
facilities, and traffic and circulation improvements required under Sections 2.2.4 through
2.2.7 (the "Public Facilities") of the Development Agreement.
F. City and PLC are in dispute (the "Dispute") regarding the amount of
Reimbursable Costs the City is obligated to cause to be paid to PLC in connection with
the Public Facilities.
G. Because an actual dispute has arisen and PLC has previously invoked the
arbitration provisions of Section 3.4 of the Development Agreement, and the City and
PLC have previously agreed to an arbitrator as provided therein, PLC and City desire to
settle and compromise any and all disputes, claims, differences, actions or causes of
action, whether actual or potential, without admitting or conceding the truth of any
allegations or assertions made in connection with the Dispute.
H. It is agreed that the arbitrator the City and PLC previously selected shall
remain as the arbitrator to resolve any disputes arising regarding this Settlement
Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein and for
other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged;
the parties agree as follows:

Vickers should ever allege or assert in any administrative or judicial proceeding that the
City has any obligation to reimburse MS Vickers for the cost of any Public Facilities or to
cause anyone to construct any of the Public Facilities, or to excuse MS Vickers from
constructing any Public Facilities that they contend PLC should have constructed under
_ the Development Agreement, then PLC shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the

Exhibit "B"
Billing Protocol
A. Travel
1.. Charges for time during travel are normally not reimbursable and* will only be paid
if such time is actually used in performing services for the City or as otherwise
arranged with the City.
2. As we sometimes use firms that are outside of the nearest metropolitan area, the
City is very conscious of travel costs. Subject to agreement otherwise, you will be
held to charging no fees on travel time to or from Huntington Beach.
3. Automobile expenses are limited to $0.27 per mile. All other travel expenses shall
be approved in advance. Requests for approval shall be submitted at least 14 days
in advance, to allow for reduced transportation fares. Meals are not billable to the
City, without prior arrangement.
B. Billing (monthly)
4. All billing shall be done monthl In one -tenth hour (0.10) increments and matched
to an appropriate breakdown of the time that was taken to perform that work and
who performed it. Minimum billing charges are unacceptable. Please charge for
actual time spent. For example, minimum of .2 for phone calls or .4 for letters is
unreasonable unless that is an accurate measure of time spent.
5. Each month's bill should include a total to date. That total should provide, at a
glance, the total fees and costs incurred to date for the case.
6. Telephone, cellular phone and postage charges are billable at actual cost. A copy of
all service bills/costs should accompany the billing for each single item that exceeds
$75.00. The fee for the sending or receiving of facsimiles will not exceed $0.25 per
page. The City will not pay a fee or charge for telephone calls or facsimiles to the
City. Photocopier costs should be no more than the actual cost of duplication, or
$.10 per page, whichever is less.
7. We do not pay for secretarial time or secretarial overtime. We do not pay for
secretarial tasks or tasks that should be subsumed into your overhead. For example,
faxing, mailing, arranging for messengers and calendaring are not acceptable
charges.
8. We do not pay for word processing charges. This includes per page or hourly
charges.
SN:C:SF-Billing: Revised 4/12/00
9. We do not pay for billing or discussion of bills. If we have questions about billing
or need additional information on bills, that is not a chargeable event; you should
respond without charging the city for the time required.
10. We appreciate when you have researched an issue previously and use that research
on the present case. The city has retained you because of your past experience. Do
not charge the city for work you have done and billed another client for in the past.
We appreciate your services and feel that this protocol will make the consultant -client
relationship a smooth one for both sides. Because these guidelines are set out in advance, they
are designed to minimize any confusion or misunderstanding. If you feel hamstrung by this
protocol, please raise the issue. Our concern is the results and total cost, not saving a dollar to
spend a thousand.
