MEETING — DOWNTOWN IMAGE AD HOC COMMITTEE
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
On December 15, 2008, the City Council established an Ad -Hoc Committee consisting
of City Council Members Don Hansen, Joe Carchio and Devin Dwyer. In addition, the
Council Members were to appoint six (6) members at -large from the community and six
(6) BID members (restaurant/retail) to focus on improving the environment in the
downtown area during the summer months, holidays, and weekend nights.
The Downtown Image Ad Hoc Committee has been meeting monthly since February of
this year. In addition to the Committee, four (4) sub -committees were formed to focus
on public safety, culture, maintenance, and business attraction/nightlife. The sub-
committees met to define the issues and provide recommendations to the Ad Hoc
Committee on which to vote on and then bring to the City Council.
On average, 25 to 30 attendees representing the community and BID have participated
in the Ad Hoc Committee meetings. In addition, there has been active participation in
each of the sub -committees and some of the individuals have expressed a desire to
also be on the Ad Hoc Committee. Based upon the level of interest of the public and
BID, 23 people would like to serve as the official Ad Hoc Committee with an opportunity
to vote on the sub -committee recommendations. Increasing the voting members to 23
will allow the greatest involvement in the Ad Hoc Committee and ensure that all
viewpoints are represented.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Increase the members of the Downtown Image Ad Hoc Committee to seven (7) BID
members and sixteen (16) community members.

Dear Council Members:
I own my home in downtown Huntington Beach. I work with the Downtown
Residents Association, which has a growing membership of about 225 residents.
I am writing you in support of Council Members Joe Carchio, Devin Dwyer, .
and Don Hansen's request to increase the number of members on the Downtown
Image Ad Hoc Committee to seven (7) Business Improvement District (BID)
members and sixteen (16) community members.
I think Chief Small summarized the success of this committee the best, in his
concluding remarks at our last meeting. To paraphrase the Chief, he said that
this committee had been the best opportunity for downtown residents to voice
their quality of life concerns to the City in years. For this reason, among many
others, I support Council Members Carchio, Dwyer, and Hansen's request.
Furthermore, I would like to take this opportunity to commend Council
Members Carchio, Dwyer, and Hansen for their time, efforts, and openness in
running this conunittee. Council Member Hansen in particular, I believe, has
tried to provide impartial leadership for our group.
We look forward to the full Council's granting Council Members Carchio,
Dwyer, and Hansen's request at its June 15th meeting. A number of our
members plan to attend. Thank you for your consideration and support. See you
Monday evening.
Sincerely yours,
Richardson Gray
