Issue,Funding Source,Recommended Action,Alternative Action(s),Analysis,Environmental Status,Attachment(s)
Statement of Issue: Toyota Motor Sales USA, Inc. has indicated a desire to enter into an
agreement to be the official lifeguard vehicle sponsor for the city and provide vehicles for
Marine Safety and Beach operations.
Funding Source: N/A
Recommended Action: Motion to:
Approve Promotional Agreement with Toyota Motor Sales USA, Inc. for the provision of 17
vehicles at no cost to the city for two years, with a two-year option for use by Marine Safety
and Beach Operations of the Community Services Department and authorize the Mayor and
City Clerk to execute same.
Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the Promotional Agreement with Toyota Motor Sales
USA, Inc. and use General Fund Second Tier Reserves to purchase the existing 17 vehicles
from the current Nissan North America, Inc. agreement at the contract buy out cost of
$309,000.
Analysis: In 1991, Chevrolet Motor Division of General Motors Corporation approached the
city with an offer to enter into a public/private partnership to provide vehicles for Marine
Safety and the Beach Operation. At that time, Chevrolet provided twelve vehicles at no cost
to Community Services. In 2004, that contract was cancelled by Chevrolet and staff solicited
proposals. Nissan was selected. The city and Nissan have had a four-year relationship. At
the end of this second two-year contract, Nissan has decided not to extend the contract and
the city again solicited proposals from automakers. Toyota Motor Sales USA, Inc. presented°
a proposal and the city negotiated a public/private partnership.
REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: 5/19/2008 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CS08-016
At the end of the Chevrolet contract, the city had to rent and outfit the vehicles for lifesaving
service for three months until a new agreement with Nissan could be negotiated and
approved by both parties. The current Nissan contract ends May 17, 2008. The city then
has 45 days to return the vehicles. If approved, the Toyota contract stipulates the sponsor
will begin providing the vehicles the week of June 2, 2008. This will just provide sufficient
time for staff to outfit the new Toyota vehicles for lifeguard and beach operations to meet the
return date for the Nissan vehicles.
Staff contacted several vehicle manufacturers, and distributed proposals to three
manufacturers who expressed interest in providing vehicles to the city at no charge. Though
three initially expressed interest, only Toyota provided a proposal to provide the city with 17
vehicles.
The basic terms are essentially the same for Toyota as with the previous sponsorships:
• Exclusive rights in the category of"Motor Vehicles" on city beach;
• Exclusive right to be known as the "Official Lifeguard Vehicle of the City of
Huntington Beach";
• Use of city logo and trademark as the Official Car/Truck Sponsor of the City of
Huntington Beach Lifeguard with advertising and promotion of sponsor's
vehicles;
• Right to use up to 15 event dates in each agreement year for promotional
events without having to pay city permit fees. Events could include
teambuilding, commercials, etc. Direct city costs to be paid by sponsor.
• Right to display sponsor's signage, vehicles, and logos at city-conducted
beach activities (except 4t" of July);
• Right to place an ad in the Sands Bulletin. Note: In previous agreements, a
half page ad was offered; Toyota has asked for a full page, which staff
feels is reasonable.
New terms that were negotiated include allowing Toyota to place a vehicle on the platform .
across from Lifeguard Tower Zero. This had been done in a few instances with the previous
sponsors, but it would now be part of the agreement. Also, there could be permanent.
signage that is mutually agreed to in Pier Plaza that identifies Toyota as the "Official
Lifeguard Vehicle of Huntington Beach". As noted above in the allowable 15 sponsor events,
the sponsor has the opportunity to do some local grassroots promotions.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING ®ATE: 5/19/2008 DEPARTMENT I® NUMBER: CS08-016
The agreement is for two years, with one, two-year extension. The agreement has been
reviewed and approved by the City Attorney. As was the case with Nissan, Toyota requires
the city to execute the agreement first. Therefore, this agreement is being brought to City
Council without first being signed by Toyota as is usual procedure.
The value of this agreement to the city, if the 17 vehicles were to be purchased, is over
$500,000. The agreement is set up as a lease for the vehicles at no charge. With the
budget issues facing the city, staff recommends approval of the public/private partnership
and agreement with Toyota Motor Sales USA, Inc. .
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; and
® Create long-term financial strategies for funding the backlog of capital
projects and maintenance requirements, and ensuring sufficient reserves to
withstand major revenue fluctuations in order to ensure continuation of city
services during economic downturns.
By entering into an agreement with Toyota to provide free lifeguard and beach operations
vehicles at no cost to the city for the next four years, said trucks will help enable Marine
Safety and Beach Operations to provide quality public service, including maintenance and
safety.
