Analysis: In an effort effort to identify ways we might streamline our system of advisory bodies and assure that efforts by the City Council, the committee members, and staff are the most productive use of everyone's time, the Mayor asked the Intergovernmental Relations Committee to review the citizen and City Council advisory bodies. At its February 23 and March 23 meetings, the Intergovernmental Relations Committee considered potential changes to the citizen advisory bodies and the City Council committees. From their review, as well as input from staff, the Committee developed a list of potential changes. At the May 18 City Council Study Session, the Council reviewed the recommendation from the Intergovernmental Relations Committee and took comments from staff and some of the impacted citizen advisory body members. As a result of this input and a series of straw votes at the study session, staff was asked to return with the appropriate documents and minute actions to make the needed changes to the Citizen Commissions, Boards, and Committees and the City Council Committees. Based on that input, staff has prepared a number of recommendations for City Council Consideration. If approved the recommended actions would: • Formally Eliminate the Board of Appeals • Eliminate Green Committee and give their responsibilities to the Environmental Board • Change staff support to the Environmental Board from the Planning Department staff to the Energy Project Manager • Change staffing responsibility for the Historic Resources Board from Community Services to Planning. • Formally establish the Southeast Area Committee as a standing City Council Committee • Eliminate the Water Quality Committee and assign their responsibilities to the Public Works Commission -2- 7/22/2009 2:39 PM REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 8/3/2009 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: AD 09-18 • Eliminate the Ascon/Nesi Committee and give their responsibilities to the Southeast Area Committee • Eliminate the Animal Care Committee as a Standing City Council Committee • Eliminate the Santa Ana River & Parkway Committee as a Standing City Council Committee and appoint a Council Liaison and alternate to the Santa Ana River Coalition and the Orange Coast River Park Group An ordinance will be brought to the City Council at a later date to implement the recommendation to change the make-up of the Design Review Board by eliminating the voting staff member and assigning a representative of the Historic Resources Board as a voting member. The ordinance will first be taken to the Planning Commission for their review. Please also note that staff will be bringing an action to the City Council in the near future to revise the Municipal Code to change the name of the Environmental Board to the Sustainability Board.

Request type: Comment Request area: City Council - Comment on Agenda Items Citizen name: Margaret Carlberg Description: As the Chair in 1970 of the first Environmental Council (the Environmental Board predecessor) I am unhappy seeing your proposal to rename and downgrade that body. "Environment" is a word that everyone--man, woman and child-- understands. "Sustainability" is a very new term that many people have never heard of, nor do they stop to think about what all it implies. It is certainly important, but is only a part of what the body should be focusing on. And downgrading from a "Board" to a "Committee" does not seem to me to be the way to get the attention of the City Council and the community for action to improve the quality of life in Huntington Beach and beyond. I do hope that there will still be a Planning Department staff member who will work with the 'Committee' as well as someone in Public Works who can advise on the newer energy issues as well. The ordinance (with your 8/17/09 agenda) does not indicate whether the 'Committee' will meet once a year or once a month. There should be some direction from City Council on that so that there is on-going review and advice for the very important aspect that has created such a good environment for our Huntington Beach community.

Request type: Comment Request area: City Council - Comment on Agenda Items Citizen name: Joseph D. Santiago Description: Dear Council Members My name is Joseph D. Santiago and I am currently a Member and Past Chair of the Historic Resources Board. I and my fellow Members of the Historic Resources Board have been made aware that changes are afoot for the Board, but not of the specifics. We have been looking forward to our transition to the Planning Department for a few months now. However, few if any of us knew much of the details presented in Draft Ordinance 3839, even from the old versions from'05, '90, and '87. In five years of service,this weekend was my first look at any version of it(a curious omission from the City's website), only via a non-Board related associate. I would like to inquire as to why the section 2.107.080, proposed to be removed entirely, is on the chopping block. It seems a function we should keep at least in some form; baby out with the bath water, etc. Voting is tonight Monday 8/17/09 but I'm sure there must be a mechanism to amend at the last minute. I also find it curious that the HRB (those in the trenches)wouldn't have some input before this goes before Council for final adoption. Please consider the retention of section 2.107.080 in some form or delay passage of Ordinance 3839 to allow time for review and practical input by the Historic Resources Board. I know many of my concerns are also shared by fellow Board Members. Respectfully submitted Joseph D.

As current Chair of the Historic Resources Board, I am concerned about the complete elimination of section 2.107.080 dealing with Acceptance of Gifts. In reading over the Legislative Draft, it seems that the deletion of this section contradicts 2.107.060(a)that states that part of our job as an advisory Board is the "studying, interpreting and reporting to City Council on historic issues and activities appropriate to the City". In speaking for the Historic Resources Board as its Chair,I feel that it would be inappropriate to completely eliminate section 2.107.080. I especially feel that it is appropriate to retain the sentence stating that "Historic structures surveys, collection management policies and documentation on historic artifacts will be reviewed by the Board". I would strongly recommend that the City Council consider voting for the retention of some form of section 2.107.080 . Respectfully submitted, Diane A. Ryan Chair, Historic Resources Board of Huntington Beach )Expected Close Date: 08/18/2009 Click here to access the request Note: This message is for notification purposes only.
