SUBJECT: Approve and authorize execution of a five-year License Agreement for use of
2 48 acres of land southeast of Atlanta Avenue and Brookhurst Street owned by
Southern California Edison (SCE) to be used as a community garden
Statement of Issue
The City Council is asked to approve a five-year renewal of the License Agreement between the

way for a community garden, southeast of Atlanta Avenue and Brookhurst Street, adjacent to the
Santa Ana River
Financial Impact
The annual payment is budgeted in the Park Acquisition and Development Fund, account number
22845001 70300
Recommended Action
Approve the "License Agreement" with Southern California Edison for the use of the 2 48 acre
parcel for the HB Community Garden and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all
documents necessary to conclude this transaction
Alternative Action(s)
Do not approve the license agreement with Southern California Edison and discontinue the use of
this property as a community garden
Analysis
On December 21, 2009, City Council approved the concept of a community garden on Southern
California Edison property at the end of Atlanta Avenue adjacent to the Santa Ana River
(Attachment 2) At its June 21, 2010, meeting, City Council approved a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with the Huntington Beach Community Garden (HBCG), a 501(c)(3)
corporation consisting of volunteers from the community The garden is operated by the HBCG,
with a city liaison from the Community Services Department Because the 248 acre parcel
considered for use as a community garden is owned by SCE, a license agreement between the city
and SCE is required
Per the conditions set by SCE, the term of the license will be for five years and can be extended
with approval by both parties The license fee, paid by the City per the conditions of the
Memorandum of Understanding with the HBCG, will be a total of$3,281 05 for the five-year term for
uses of the 2 48 acre site, as outlined on the table below The MOU states that the "City will fund
the License Agreement with SCE for use of the specified property, provided budgetary conditions

allow" The license fee will be funded out of the Park Acquisition and Development Fund This area
has not yet been officially identified as a park site, but a community garden is an appropriate
community use for a park and it's anticipated the site will be so identified at a future date
Huntington Beach Community Garden will be responsible for funding improvements to the site
including bringing water to the site They will also be responsible to pay for all operating costs,
including water use per the conditions of the MOU

35 Electric and Magnetic Fields ("EMF"l There are numerous sources of power frequency
electric and magnetic field ("EMF"), including household or building wiring, electrical appliances and
electric power transmission and distribution facilities There have been numerous scientific studies
about the potential health effects of EMF Interest in a potential link between long-term exposures to
EMF and certain diseases is based on the combination of this scientific research and public concerns
While some 40 years of research have not established EMF as a health hazard, some health authorities
have identified magnetic field exposures as a possible human carcinogen Many of the questions about
specific diseases have been successfully resolved due to an aggressive international research program
However, potentially important public health questions remain about whether there is a link between
EMF exposures in homes or work and some diseases including childhood leukemia and a variety of other
adult diseases (e g adult cancers and miscarriages) While scientific research is continuing on a wide
range of questions relating to exposures at both work and in our communities, a quick resolution of the
remaining scientific uncertainties is not expected
Since Licensee plans to license or otherwise enter Licensor property that is in close proximity to Licensor
electric facilities, Licensor wants to share with Licensee and those who may enter the property under
this agreement, the information available about EMF Accordingly, Licensor has attached to this
document a brochure that explains some basic facts about EMF and that describes Licensor policy on
EMF Licensor also encourages Licensee to obtain other information as needed to assist in
understanding the EMF with respect to the planned use of this property
36 Induced Voltages- Licensee hereby acknowledges that any structures (including, but not
limited to,buildings,fences, light poles)that exist or may be constructed on the Property licensed herein,
(hereinafter,the"Structures")in close proximity to one or more high voltage(66 kilovolt or above) electric
transmission lines and/or substation facilities may be susceptible to induced voltages, static voltages
and/or related electric fault conditions (hereinafter collectively referred to as"Induced Voltages") unless
appropriate grounding or other mitigation measures are incorporated into the Structures If not properly
mitigated, Induced Voltages can result in a variety of safety and/or nuisance conditions including, but
not limited to, electric shocks or other injuries to individuals contacting the Structures or other utilities
connected to the Structures (including, but not limited to, natural gas lines, water Imes or cable
television lines), or interference with or damage to sensitive electronic equipment located in or around
the Structures Appropriate measures to mitigate Induced Voltages, if required, will vary from case to
case because of factors such as electric facility configuration and voltage, other utilities involved, or
sensitivity of electronic equipment Licensee will be responsible to determine what, if any, Induced
Voltages mitigation measures should be undertaken regarding the Structures and to implement such
mitigation measures at its sole cost and expense
Licensee agrees for itself and for its contractors, agents, licensees, invitees, and employees, to save
harmless and indemnify Licensor, its parent, subsidiaries and affiliated entities and their respective
officers and employees from and against any and all claims, loss, damage, actions, causes of action,
expenses and/or liability ansing from or growing out of loss or damage to property, including Licensor's
