0 1 7. City Council Interoffice Communication
To: Honorable Ma o Pro Tern and City Council Members
From: Mayor Barb Igleize, and Council Member Jill klardy
Date: May 1, 2017
Subject: COUNCIL ITEM FOR MAY 1, 2017 CITY COUNCIL MEETING -
ESTABLISHMENT OF A HUNTINGTON BEACH COMMUNITY
FOUNDATION (FOUNDATION)
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
The City of Huntington Beach works cooperatively with many organizations throughout the City
to facilitate and coordinate events and activities for the benefit of the community. With so many
organizations and nonprofits working together to serve the community, there is a need for a
centralized funding source to coordinate these efforts and help them come to fruition.
We propose the establishment of a "Huntington Beach Community Foundation" in order to
promote and advance philanthropy in the Community and help support our nonprofit
organizations and public institutions that enhance the quality of life within our City. Former
Mayor Don Hansen proposed the creation of a Community Foundation that was never
established.
The Huntington Beach Community Foundation would be developed under the Non -Profit Public
Benefit Corporation Law of California for public and charitable purposes. The Foundation would
be organized under the 501(c)(3) section of the Internal Revenue Code.
Huntington Beach is currently surrounded by cities that have established, and benefited from,
Community Foundations. Fountain Valley, Tustin, Lake Forest, Orange, Placentia, Villa Park,
and Garden Grove each utilize their own Community Foundation to secure funding for their
nonprofit organizations. The residents of Huntington Beach are passionate about their City and
regularly donate to community causes.
A "Huntington Beach Community Foundation" can serve as an umbrella organization to assist
local nonprofit causes throughout the City. Monies collected through the Foundation will be
allocated strictly to organizations that benefit the community of Huntington Beach as a whole.
Based on best practices, the board would be established by the City Council.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Direct the City Attorney to prepare Articles of Incorporation and draft Bylaws for the Huntington
Beach Community Foundation. Direct the City Manager's Office to file the appropriate
paperwork with the Secretary of State. The initial development will call for the appointment of
seven Directors of the Foundation, with the Articles of Incorporation allowing for amendments to
the total number of directors.
