SUBJECT: City Council Agenda August 21, 2017 — Downtown Maintenance and Public
Improvements Report
At the June 19, 2017 City Council meeting, staff presented potential areas of the enhanced
downtown maintenance district that needed additional maintenance and repairs. At that time,
City Council directed staff to provide an ongoing update on maintenance enhancements,
unbudgeted needs, partnering with downtown Huntington Beach Downtown Business
Improvement District (HBDBID).
Since the June 19, 2017 City Council meeting, Public Works staff has taken steps to address
some of the core maintenance issues in the downtown area. The City has since paved and
striped Main Street from PCH to Adams, replaced water utility air vac housing grates, repaired
and replaced various utility covers, planter bricks, graffiti and sticker removal, pavers and skate
stops.
Staff will continue working with the HBDBID to prioritize various projects and additional
maintenance needs on the downtown maintenance and repairs priority list and funding
opportunities to address unbudgeted funding needs. The City is seeking a continued
partnership with the HBDBID, business owners, and property owners in order to help beautify
the downtown area.
At this time, staff is recommending to return to Council in 90 days with a status update of
maintenance enhancements, unbudgeted needs, and various identified projects.
