CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
REQUEST FOR. CITY COUNCIL ACTION
/ r,F
MEETING DATE: 4/2/2018
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Travis K. Hopkins, PE, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Approve expansion of Central Park West Organic Chemical Pilot Study to
include Organic Turf Management Practices
Statement of Issue: This is the three-month status report on the Organic Chemical Pilot Study at
Central Park West which was initiated at the May 1, 2017, City Council meeting.
Financial Impact: The cost to expand the pilot project for a period of 12 months is estimated at
$53,000. Funds are available in General Fund Landscape Maintenance account 10085602,64620.
Recommended Action:
Approve expansion of Central Park West Organic Chemical Pilot Study to include the entire west
side of Central Park and adopt Irvine Unified School District's Organic Turf Management Practices.
Alternative Action(s): Do not approve and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
Currently, the City of Huntington Beach Public Works Department, assisted by contract providers,
maintains more than 625 acres of community and neighborhood parks and athletic fields, and more
than 800 acres of public right-of-way (e.g. street medians, parkways, and 50,000 City trees).
Organic Chemical Pilot Study
Based on direction from the City Council, the Public Works Landscape division staff began a pilot
program on May 25, 2017, in Central Park West.
On January 24, 2018, Public Works staff met with J.R Simplot Company to discuss organic turf
management products. Staff discussed J.R. Simplot's organic product line, and Simplot suggested
the City conduct a soil analysis to better help them choose the right product. Staff took samples of
soil from 15 different locations at Central Park West to an independent lab and shared the results
with J.R. Simplot, who provided detailed organic product recommendations.
On January 31, 2018, Public Works staff members met with Irvine Unified School District (IUSD)
staff members to discuss IUSD's adopted Organic Turf Management Program, which helped them
eliminate the use of synthetic herbicides on their fields. IUSD described how they stopped using all
synthetic chemicals and synthetic fertilizers on their turf fields. They stated this new program was
improving the health of the turf and is more effective in controlling the weeds. It was also helping
the soil hold moisture longer, thus saving water.
HB -1057- Item 13. - 1
Dept. ID PW 18-011 Page 2 of 2
Meeting Date:4/2/2018
At the conclusion of the meeting with IUSD, staff agreed that the direction of the pilot study should
focus more on organic turf management rather than continuing to find a replacement for
glyphosate. IUSD studies have shown that properly managed turf has "choked out" weeds and
broadleaf. It has also been shown to hold moisture longer in the soil. Organic turf management
consists of not only replacing synthetic chemicals and fertilizers, but also includes new mechanical
means like top dressing and over seeding, which are not our current practice.
At the December 18, 2017, City Council meeting, staff included a table (see below) to show the cost
of replacing glyphosate with Suppress EC and manual means of pest control. In addition to Options
1 through 4 below, Staff studied yet another alternative using organic turf management. The
preliminary cost for organic turf management is approximately $1,300 per acre. The City-wide total
cost would be approximately $825,000; however, with organic turf management, staff can treat one-
third of all the turf per-year. The recurring cost for implementing a City-wide organic turf
management program would be approximately $275,000 per year, at a lower cost than all four
options in the chart below.
Option Parks ROW Total
1 Contracted Organic Chemical Contracted Organic Chemical

$312,000 $25,000 $337,000
Organic Turf Management Synthetic Chemical
NEW $275,000 $25,000 $300,000
Adopting Organic Turf Management will cost about the same as manually weed abating, but with
far better benefit to the turf in the long run. Organic turf management will, in time, start to push the
weeds and broadleaf out of the turf and improve water retention in the soil. However, Staff still
recommends the continued use of synthetic herbicides in the right-of-ways for weed abating due to
less frequent recreational use by the public.
At this time, Staff is recommending increasing the existing pilot area to include all of Central Park
West, incorporating and adopting IUSD's model for Organic Turf Management, and bringing back
results over a 12 month period. The cost for adopting the expanded pilot program is approximately
$53,000.

Dear Mr. Wilson:
As the leader of a local environment group, I care deeply about the types of chemicals being
used in our city. Probably by now you've started to receive some postcards in the mail that
look like the attached. You can expect to see more come in all week, between 100-200 in
total. We found that it was very easy to get signatures on these postcards.
I understand that the toxin issue will be on the city council meeting agenda Monday, April
2nd. I'm proud to live in a city that seems to be headed in the same direction as Irvine and
San Juan Capistrano to eliminate toxins in our pubic areas, but we'd like to see faster
movement on this issue. Several of us plan to attend the meeting to help speak up about this
issue and encourage city council members to make the right decision for our community and for
the environment in general. I look forward to seeing you there if you will be there.
Thank you,
Karen Coyne

Citizen name: Dan Jamieson
Description: I have two comments re the April 2, 2018, City Council meeting agenda.
First, I want to offer my full support to Item 13, the proposal to expand the Organic
Chemical Pilot Study to include Organic Turf Management Practices. I think city staff
did a great job getting up to speed on organic turf-management practices, and the results
so far seem to be win-win-win all around—less toxins, less money, less water and
healthier turf. Keep it up!
Another topic:
I'm very pleased to support Huntington Beach Community Service Day. Great idea for
people to think about lending a hand to their community.
In that spirit, on April 21,N. HB and Westminster neighbors and other volunteers will
be holding a volunteer workday on the old Navy railroad right-of-way property (a.k.a.,
the "Monarch Nature Trail") in North Huntington Beach. ... This is the abandoned rail
spur in the Northwest part of the City that used to run into the Seal Beach Naval
Weapons station. The HB spur runs about 1.2 miles from Rancho Rd. to Edwards St.,
about 11 acres, and was deeded to the city by the federal government in April 2016. It is
a popular local spot for walkers, dog owners, runners and bikers, and has great potential
as an improved bike trail and for habitat restoration. ... The site is identified in the
City's Bike Master Plan as a potential Class 1 Multi-use Path, and in your recent pitch to
Amazon for its new headquarters, the City noted that it is actively pursuing additional
enhancements to it current bike trail systems, including a bicycle and pedestrian path
along this railroad rig ht-of-way—efforts local residents support.
Our volunteer day will start at 9 a.m., and work till noon. We will be planting some
native Calif. plants, doing some weeding and picking up trash. People can look for more
info on the Facebook pages that cover HB, and the Nextdoor social media site.
Thank you for encouraging community support with the Huntington Beach Community
Service Day on April 21. SUPPLEMENTAL

Citizen name: Tim Kowal
Description: On May 1, 2017,just short of a year ago, Council approved a 12-month non-toxic pilot
Integrated Pest Management program, or "IPM". Council has since repeatedly directed
that staff include an agenda item to take the IPM city wide ASAP. After 1 I months,
however, that item still is not being presented for a council vote. Instead, the council is
being asked to vote on another 12 month pilot program.
No other city that has adopted a non-toxic IPM has languished so long in pilot program
status. Despite requests from Non-Toxic Irvine,Non-Toxic Huntington Beach, and Non-
Toxic Irvine, no reason has been given the residents why they are being made to wait so
long, or how many times more they are expected to bring their small children to council
meetings to see no meaningful progress.
If the council will not even vote on a city-wide non-toxic IPM, at least someone should
explain to the residents why they will not vote on it.
Respectfully,
Tim Kowal

It doesn't make any sense to expose residents, homeowners and pets to harmful chemicals. Please
approve the expansion of the pilot program and expedite the process.
Agenda Item #15
Mayor Posey's view that immigrants are a "public safety" issue is false and incongruent with the
beliefs of the people of our city. The city should not waste time and resources on this lawsuit that
misrepresents the views of its residents. Please do not authorize the City Attorney to file a lawsuit or
work with other municipalities. This movement is aligned with those who wish to spread fear and hate

I STRONGLY encourage you to adopt a policy that will eliminate the use of toxic chemicals
from our public landscapes, as Irvine and San Juan Capistrano have done.
Studies have proven that toxins are harmful to people and animals,such as the study
conducted by the American Cancer Society revealing that people exposed to the popular
weed killer Roundup were 2.7 times more likely to develop non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The
American Academy of Pediatrics says there is no safe level of pesticide exposure for children.
Currently, Huntington Beach uses a number of toxic chemicals in our parks and public areas
where people and animals are exposed. These chemicals are blown by winds and tracked
into homes where they can be trapped in carpet for years. Allowing a known carcinogen to
be used makes our city vulnerable to potential financial and legal liabilities.
Organic turf management is less expensive and uses 30% less water. Organic landscaping
builds the biodiversity of the soil, making desired plants healthier and better able to resist
incursion by weeds. It also makes the soil spongier and better able to absorb water.

Dear Council Members:
With the exception of Jill Hardy,I'm infinitely disappointed with the decision you all made last Monday
to approve agenda item#15 to sue the state of California and challenge SB-54,the sanctuary state bill.
As Ms.Hardy so eloquently stated,while the item may have been written with the intentions of
ensuring local control,clearly that was not the message being delivered Monday evening. Based on the
distraught look on Ms.Delgleize's face when she mentioned that she hadn't experienced anything like
what she experienced that night in her 45 years of participating in this community,it seemed she
would also vote against the lawsuit So what happened? Why did she follow suit? Was it blind loyalty
to party? Was it the claims that Sacramento will"take over"if they are given an inch this time? Was it
claims that what happened that night was simply free speech? Was it claims that this shouldn't be an
"emotional"decision?
First,claiming to want to sue the state now not because you're 100%sold on this issue but because
you want to send a message to officials in Sacramento that they cannot control Huntington Beach,is
simply a vote out of fear,and that's an emotional decision. We should not act like defiant teenagers
who are upset at our parents telling us what to do,especially if they are wanting us to do something
that is actually in the best interest of humanity.
Second,what we experienced Monday evening was anything but"free speech." It was"hate speech,"
and the prevention of free speech. I waited patiently for hours to be granted my measly two minutes
of"free speech,"which turned out to be anything but,as I was continuously disrupted by hateful
shouts from the audience. And hate was the theme all night Rabbi Einstein simply tried to discuss
peace and unity but was undermined by lewd shouts about circumcision. Congressional candidate
Omar Siddiqui was similarly drowned out by bigots screaming words about Allah. When one woman
simply mentioned the word"feminism"at the podium,she was verbally attacked,as was another
woman for simply mentioning that she's a social worker. Community leader,Victor Valladares,had to
endure constant loud shouts of"Go home,Victor,"throughout the night There is no way the council
members did not hear this. And this does not include all of the side conversations going on,like the
women behind me in the side room where I sat for a while who laughed about burning Victor in the
flag he was wearing. The list of hate speech could fill a book,and it was all made possible by the poor
leadership of our city council.
Mr.Posey,I ask you to take a lesson from Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom. When he presided in
the same chambers over the meeting involving the hot topic of the Poseidon desalination plant,he
showed true leadership. Knowing the crowd could get unruly,he set rules from the start We were not
even to clap. We could simply use silent hand gestures. And at one point when the audience did make
noise,Mr.Newsom threatened to end the meeting right then and there,and people listened to him and
were silent That was good leadership. The only time you stopped the meeting,Mr.Posey,was when a
speaker called you out personally. Perhaps you felt attacked,but so did we.
Ereciate that you are all seemingly on board with moving Huntington Beach toward being a toxin-
ity,and I appreciate your 7-0 vote on agenda item#13. I only wish you would see metaphoricallyRound-up is toxic horticulturally as well as interculturally. We have a much faster road to peaceolerance on this earth if our environment and all of its inhabitants are treated with respect and
ess. We need people in power who will lead us on that path.

Request area: City Council - Agenda& Public Hearing Comments
Reported by: Dan Jamieson
Description: I have two comments re the April 2, 2018, City Council meeting agenda. First, I want to
offer my full support to Item 13,the proposal to expand the Organic Chemical Pilot
Study to include Organic Turf Management Practices. I think city staff did a great job
getting up to speed on organic turf-management practices, and the results so far seem to
be win-win-win all around—less toxins, less money, less water and healthier turf. Keep
it up! Another topic: I'm very pleased to support Huntington Beach Community Service
Day. Great idea for people to think about lending a hand to their community. In that
spirit, on April 21,N. HB and Westminster neighbors and other volunteers will be
holding a volunteer workday on the old Navy railroad right-of-way property (a.k.a.,the
"Monarch Nature Trail") in North Huntington Beach. ... This is the abandoned rail spur
in the Northwest part of the City that used to run into the Seal Beach Naval Weapons
station. The HB spur runs about 1.2 miles from Rancho Rd. to Edwards St., about 11
acres, and was deeded to the city by the federal government in April 2016. It is a popular
local spot for walkers, dog owners,runners and bikers, and has great potential as an
improved bike trail and for habitat restoration. ... The site is identified in the City's Bike
Master Plan as a potential Class 1 Multi-use Path, and in your recent pitch to Amazon
for its new headquarters, the City noted that it is actively pursuing additional
enhancements to it current bike trail systems, including a bicycle and pedestrian path
along this railroad rig ht-of-way—efforts local residents support. Our volunteer day will
start at 9 a.m., and work till noon. We will be planting some native Calif. plants, doing
some weeding and picking up trash. People can look for more info on the Facebook
pages that cover HB, and the Nextdoor social media site. Thank you for encouraging
community support with the Huntington Beach Community Service Day on April 21.
