Despite till the publicity rogarding our meeting on the propusals , few people came to testify. I do not see any evidence of great public concern for amending our existing I charter. Ile can live with the charter a:; it is . The consolidation with the June primary election could :ost as tr.uch as $10 ,000 depending on the extent of the ballot measures prevented to the public , a sum f, which is not included in our budget. ►n addition , a public hearing at the end of January would be time so that an Immediate decision would have to be made if any of the reco-nmendations are to be placed on the J;u;e ballot. Ao .member of- the Council expressed strong setltiments in .fuvor or a- ga.inst any of the recommended changes at tiu: December, 14 , 1981 meeting. I- might add that I considered thai. meeting to be a public hearing. Although I have not changed my views on the question. of elected versus appointed Attorney, City Clerk and Treasurer, I :am convinced that obese issues should only come to the electorate if a strong desire to see a change comes frets► members of the community. Most of the other issues I hove no strong convictions for, or against,except the' elected mayor. I do not believe that Huntington Beach needs 1 either a strong or weak elected Mayor at this time. . I believe before we affirm the Junu;ru' y 25, 1982 lie:et•ing, we shou>vd discuss o own views and determine whether there is any inclination to place any of these items on the ballot. If thore is not, I would Y•ecatnmend a motion to table. 3 i RCA No . 81-31 � REQUES i FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION Date November 10 , 1981 Submittedto: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Subm;ttedby: Charles lti'.

Therefore, it is imperative that the Council m*Pa its decisions i regarding the proposal at the December 14, 1981 study session. The agenda deadline for the January A meeting is December 23, 1981. ! would Ilhe to comment on a few of the items included in the proposal which may I need expanplon or clarification. ` hirectly-elected Mayor a I � I� if Council chooses to approlc putting a directly-elected Mayor on the ballot, several additional areas will need clarification. The second paragraph in 1 Section 300 (Mayor and City Council Terms) was written in anticipation of a Mayor being elected at the 1982 municipal election. since this will not be the case, this wordlnq would need to be changed. In Section 305 (Presiding ? 0 ficer), a statement should probably be added which would clarify that the �I Mayor is a member of the City Council for all quorum and voting purposets, or the phrase "Mayor and City Council" should be added averywhere the City Council is mentioned. Section 309 (vaeancles, forfeitures and replacement) shculd be ciarified as to whether the procedures listed also apply to the Mayor's position. I Cection ?11. City Treasurer.

A qualifications section should be ineludbd, but the acceptable i1 cartiflca*ions should be footnoted, rather than placed in the train body of the Charter. Z. The provision regarding reporting requircxments should be. changed to reflect the realities of our existing financial and computer system. 3. The last sentences relating to appointment of employees should be 411 deleted to conform with other sections of the Charter. ;I I Each of the subset:tions In which ti.e Charter Revision Committee proposed choinges is discussed st�parately below: "(a) Re.eive and collect on behalf of. the City all taxes, assessments, license fees and other revenues of the City ." 4: I� .....y. .:F.ti...t.tt....':.tetra u:'.; ... - 4....... ., ._.w ..._r...... ..• w... .r........r.-.r. n.;vM ...+./ . .'..•.

The existing Charter states the Treasurer sh-ill "receive . . . revenues of the City, or for the collection of which the Clty is responsible". This proposed section transfers responsibility for collections from the City to the Treasurer. As funds are now collected by various departments, this may require changes in structure and/or procedure. "(b) Prescribe the means and procedures for collection of City funds if sue resjonsibl llty Is delegated to another department by the_ Treasurer.' This further emphasizes the Treasurer's authority over the proposed collection function and gives him the power to delegate that function and prescribe procedures. Responsibility for collections is currently delegated by the City Administrator or the Council . For inct4oce, tNa C=n►rnity Services Department collects parking meter fees and recreation class fees. The Treasurer receives the funds after they have been collected. "(c) Provide and approve forms for receipts or funds." This is a clerical procedure which does not warrant being a Charter restriction.

June Primary November General 7Ra e m Newport Beach Irvine Costa Mesa La Palma Brea Garden Grove The County.. is discouraging consolidations with the June Primary, but not refusing any city willing to pay the price. Primary Election Consolidation is 35t. per registered voter. In 1980, Huntington Beach had 93,691 registered. (That would have cost $32,791 .85) a saving of . $11,173:16, excluding the City Clerk's Office paper work. Presently, registration is 93,779. ' GPneral' Election, Consolidation costs.M per registered voter. With the same 1980 �b figures', that would constitute a saving of $18,738.20. If. Council chooses to make 'the change, it can be done by Ordinance, after ihe'Charter is amended to eliminate reference to the April 'eldetion date.

I -Advantarjes and Disadvanta e�, s of Consolldittlon. i%resented below are som+: of the I advant.;gez and disauvantages of a city eansolidating its election.

Increase Voter Tom. City elections can attract high,sr votes, .urnout through } rAnsoiidation. Historically, turnout for municipal elections has been below that of ` the state primary election and of the state general electron. By consolidating vvlth 4 arse of these elections, a city would gain the benefit of the higher voter turnout attracted by these elections. Of the darter cities contacted whlch have consolidated with the state primary or general election, ill achieved higher voter turnouts through consolidation. Such Increases are not au apparent when elections 1 are consolidated with local elections In November of odd-numba7vd yearsl however, this varies, from rite to city. 2. Rttentlal Cost Savings. Cities nay mcarltze dollar savings through consoii:L.tIc Consolidation with an election that is already taking place allows cost; to be cut, since the expense of hiring poll workers end renting polling places for a separate municipal election can be eliminated, and such functions as printing ballots *Ad publishing polling paces ©n be consolidated and performed more efficiently. County charges to a city for Its 3Wre of she expenses of a consolidated election would therefore likely be less tran city costs for a separate municipal election. However, It Is Important that the city carefully wmpare Its own coat for conducting the election with a specific cost quotation received fro-ln the county. 3. Voter Convenience. Consolidation of elections may be more convenient to the voter. Elimination of a* separate municipal election would mean less trips that a voter would have to take tis the polls. Consolidation would also allow voters to concentrate. on all at the Issues at once, rather than having to take the time to . Investigate political Issues on separate occaalons. If voting is made MCC convenient, then perhaps more citizens will go to the trouble of voting. 4. Creates a Better Connection Between local Imo: and r El�cd K Involvernefit. Since under consolidation citizens ivou;d be voting on local Issues at the samo time the. w ;csuld tx voting •� 1 y ling for higher elected officials voters mi ... make a better Bonn-ctlon between the local Issues and the Involvement of higher officials In thuse issues. This could force county, state, and federal representatives to be more responsive to city needs. t %/�yr..-.--•,.._.-......•... -.Y..�ti.,,.

Consolidation would shift soine of the election wort to the asunty, thereby relieving city cle;is from part of the somethnes burdensome administrative work Involved in rt-nning an election. This work is primarily routine, and Is often a problem for clerks in :mall cities whore off Ices are not set up to handle the flood of wnrk Involve In the adm. l.nistration of an e!zction. it is important before adopting the ordinance to clarity which tasks the county wail undertake and which respor.aibilities the pity clerk will retain. 6. More Appropriate Timing. Budgeting follows closely behind the AFr.I election date, � and newly elected council members may be unfamiliar with the city government to + ' rnake significant contributloni to the, budgeting process. With this In r.And, a '{ November election date may be more eppropriaie. 'r DISADVANTAGFSi I. Decreases Meela Covesa a of City Issues. With consolidated elections, city Issues and c-.andidates might :ake a Na* seat to other election campaign coverage in the ., S , local media. Media coverage might tend to focus on more glamorous state and stational issues ,attvr than city Issues. 2. Decreases Avallabilin- of Came2lgn Resources. Consolidation might !orre city candidates to compete with higher office- candidates for resources, decreasing thr•Ir ability to attract campaign volunteers and money donations. 3. Decreases Famitlarity With City Issues. With consolidated selections, other issues ...�... and candidates might attray. ;mention of the voter at the expense- of city issues, resulting in less familiarity with city Issues among citizens. F k. lnJscte Partisan Politics. If murilclpal elections were consolidated with partisan elections, it might have the effect of Injecting partisan politics iMce municipal non- partisan elections. S. Interferes With Citr Candidates' fnvolvcmcn Ir Higr,cr OrtIce, Candidates' t CamPal ' ..

J responsive to local concerns, since in some Instances they would be less indebted to � city officials for their election. 6. Creates Longer Ballots. Th- state general election and In partimilar the state primbry election already require lengthy Mims. Consolid-Itlon would make these ballots even longer. City Issues council elections will be placed at the end of the I ballot, which might have a detrimenta! effrect, and could outweigh any advantrbe resulting from higher votcr turnout. luestlonst+d_Ar►s vers i V:faj wing are the most often asked questions regardinp, the Intent dnd Implementa n of Sa 230.

The Mayor's compensation cannot be It-creased or dec-eased after the Mayor's election or appointment and during his term of office. Section 309. Citz AttorneX The Charter Revision Committee strongly recommends that t�Tty Attorney be appointed by the City Council through a merit process, rather than ® continuing as an elective position.

Box 190 Huntington Beach, California 9264R Dear Mayor and Ci*v Council Members : Enclosed is the report of the Charter Revision Committee of the City of Huntington Beach. This Committee gave careful consideration to questions about the present City Charter raised by the. public, City staff, and Councilmembers . it benefited greatly from this input and could not have completed its task in the period of time assigned to it without such vital Informaticn from those concerned individuals. Thp, membe'rsieip of the Charter Revision Committee represented a variety of viewpoints , reflecting Council' s effort to make it broadly represen- tative of the whole community. Tt. also dealt with a number of controver- sial issues. Despite geese twe facts , the Committee unanimously adopted and approved its firal draft for the City Council . A synopsis of the Committee 's actions is contained in the position Statement which follows the Finn; draft. Each of the recommendations of this Committee emerged after careful study and consideration of subcommittees ns well as full discussion by the en- tire Committee. The Committee did not attempt to sidestep issues because: of a fear that its recommendations would be criticized by individuals, or groups . Although such critirtsm will be sure to come , the Committee en- dorses the proposed revi::ions with the belief they will strengthen our municipal government and enable it to adapt to changes in the years to come. funtington Beach has changed dramatically in, recent years , in psychological as ,well as physical terms , Therefore , the work of the Charter Revision Committee has special significance when seen as part of a Neries of actions by City government to deal with the profound changes our community has experienced. The Chatter Revision Committee recommends that the proposed charter be placed on the ballot for the April , 1978 elections.

Thus, the Charter will con•cain necessary safeguards for good government , but will also allow flexibility far the Council to sot policies which drill allow the most 4-f-ficient and effective manner of man- aging the City at any point in time. IF the Committee ' s recommond- atiens are :Implemented, the City Council will need to adopt appropriate; ordinances and resolutions is order to cnmpleto the tusk of charter revision. The Committee has also strived to eliminate ambiguities in the Charter through using clear, concise language so that all who read it will know exactly what it means . PROPOSED CHARTER REVISIONS Not only has the Charter 'Revision Committee re t _ moved certain sections from the proposed charter, but it has also made some changes and added some provisions which Committee members believe will improve City government. litany changes are merely "housekeeping" items ' which have been changed to conform with present law or to clarify meanings . Listed below, hewesver, a:e some cif the major proposed changes which we would like to bring to Your attention. It must be emphasized that only by receding the actual proposed charter it- self c%n the Charter changes he noted. CITY COUNCIL 1 . Proposed Section 301.t CityCouncil Term, The Committee re- commends that iio person'Fc eTecte as a member of tile City + Council fur more than two consecutive terms aiut to person who has been a member for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected a member shall be elected to the. City Council more than one further consecutive term. This i section Mould aprly to persons Council. currently members of the City i E r" D Final Report 2 octohe-r 25 , 1077 Charter Revision 11 . Proposed Section 301 . Ciry Council Com .osition. The current City Charter provides that Council mem ers he elected at large. After studying this issue, the Charter Revision Committee recommends retention of elections at large , rat)ici- than the, establ i shmeut or districts . Its' . Proposed Section 303. Cara ensa t ion acid Expenses . Th Is i—ection -wou-1-dallow the members of tile . ty I,ouncil to receive compensation for their services as determined by tiie following schedule , which presently applies to general law cities . Population Monthly Salary (a) 1500000 to and including 200,000 $403 (b) Over 200 ,000 to and including 250, 000 $500 (c) Over 2S0 ,000 $600 The Committee recommends that the Mayor receive en addit- ional $100 monthly stipznd to supplement his salary. In addition , cacti nombei of the City Council would receive re- imbursement on order of ti;e City Council for Council author- ized traveling and other e;cpense when on official duty upon submission of itemized expense accounts. A provision in the first draft allowing 5% annual increases has been deletod. IV, Proposed Section 304 . Meetings and Location, The Committee proposed t iat in the event of an emergency affecting the public peace, health or safety, it special meeting, may be called with less than twerity- our hours written notice, provided that the nature of the emergency is set forth in the minu'%es of the meeting. A provision in the first draft which allowed out of town meetings as long as no ciction was taken has been deleted. Proposed .Section. 30e5. Presiding Officer. The present Chartor pro�vi�t. at the Mayor shall elected by the City Council members . The Charter Revision Committee recommends retention of this procedure as opposed to it Mayor being directly elected by the voters . CITY ATTORNEY _ I 1 . Proposed Section 310. 'City Attorney Composition. The present charter pry;; that t e Clty Attorney be e ected by the qualified voters of the City at large, The Committee recommends that the position remain elective . i II, Proposed Section _e12 . r City Attorney Compensation. This sectiun stat3s that We City a .orney s- compensation an fringe benefits shall be fixed by the City Personnel Commission effective the beginning of each fiscal year based on objective criteria for Final Report Charter Revision 3. nctolier 25, 1977 the hositlon. After an election or durirg a term of office. Iliv compensation of the City Attorney shall not by reduced nor shall fringe benefits be diminished below the fringe hencfits normally enjoyed by department heads . Elected City Treasurer. The Charter Revision Comm: ttee recommends trot t e clecred City Treasurer position he eliminated as the duties he perfori..s (investments , risk manager , aniiial licensing) can ba handled by other departments . Proposed Sections 313 314 and 315. Elected City Com troller, The Comm ttea believes t ere is a need for an elected official who is responsible to the people to be the "watchdog" over the internal operations of the City. This person would be empowered to not only conduct financial and operational audits, but also to perform management studies . 'rho elected City Comp troller would he requi :,dd to submit monthly reports to the City Council as well as an open annual report to the people. This proposed section also requires that Council provide reasonable staff and budgetary support necessary for the performance of the Compftroller's duties . His compensation shall, be established yearly by the Personrol Commission in the sane mnnner as the City Attorney' s compensation. Ii the fir;: t draft, the City Comptroller was re- Ferred to as the City Auditor. Pro osed Section 317. Conflict of Interest. A section has boon proposed w iic i s ate9 the City o� un I`""S all adopt or approve rules and regulations regulating conflict of interest and promoting fair dealing in All City business. This is intended to be con- sistenl with the obligations of the City Council under Proposition 9 and the rules of the Fair Political Practices Commission. Pro osed Section 401. City Administrator's Powers and Duties . T e present Charter allows tie City AMMUstrator to appo nt or remove department heads only after reviewing such action with Council and receiving their approval . After study, the Charter Revision Committee proposed retaining this requirement. Pro osed Section 402. Acting City Administrator. The current charter states fiat tie City Administrator s ih appoint , subject - to the approval of Council , one of the other officers or department heads to serve as Acting City Administrator in his absence. Re- cognizing the need to have an Acting City Administrator when the . ' Administrator Is gone for a few days and prioz Council approval to appoint a particular person has not been obtained, the committee { suggests the fol.lowini, wording During Any temporary absence or disability of the City Administrator, the Assistance City Administrator shall serve as Acting City Administrator. During any temporary i Final Report 4 . October 25 , 1977 Charter Revision absence or disability of both City Administrator and the Assistant City Administrator, the City Administrator shall appoint one: of the other officers or department heads of the City to serve as Acting City Administrator. In the event the City Administrator fails to make such appointment , such appointment may be made by the City Council . Proposed Section 403 . City Clerk . The present charter provides that tie city Clark Fe elected. The Committee recommends that the City Clark he appointed by the City Administrator with approval of Council. This is a change from the H rst draft in which the Clerk was to be appointed directly by they City Council . The City Clark performs ministerial duties only and no purpose is served by keeping the position elected. The present City Clerk ce�neurs It the position would best be filled byy a thorough search for qualified applicants , rather than throe:;le an election for re- sidents only. Proposed Section 405. Persoisnel System. It is our recommendation That the city m nistra oar,the Assistant City Administrator . the City Attorney, the City Clerk, the City Comntrollor and Trpartment heads should all be excluded from the Personnel System. Other than this change, the wording of this section is basically the same as in thy! present Charter with the exception of the deletion of reference to departments. Tale complete revision of the personnel system provided in the first draft his been deleted. Pro osod Section 406. Retirement system. Instead of locking a particular reMement system into the—Charter, a provision is recommended which requires that any ret,i:ement pplan in which the City participates be no less than that offered by the State Pulilic Employees Retirement System. The Committee accepted the expre35sed concern that recruitment might be hindered by exclusion of tho PERS System. Proposed Section 407. Boards , Commiss-ions , and Committees . The I Lommiittee -recommends tnat the names or various boargs or commissions be omitted from the Charter in order t-3 allow the Council maximum flexibility to establish or eliminate such grourn according to current needs. 1>> addition, it was felt that definitions of the terlms "board," "commission," find "committee" were neede,. to promote uniformity. The following; definitions are suggested. (a) boards shall serve In an advisory capacity to tite City Council (b) Commissions may have deci.sior►-making authority in those activities delegated to them by the City Council . (c) Committees shall be established on an ad hoe basis to advise the C; ty Council on particular matters. = 1 r t Final Report Charter Revision 5 . Octoher 25 , 1077 proposed Section 500 . Regular Ordinances . Puhlicat.ion. Yh is propoged section sin es tile city . er k shall cause eacFi ordinance to be publishud at least once within fifteen days after Ito adoption in n daily, semi -weekly or weekly newspaper publishtd III the County or the City and circulated in the City which Is selected by the City Council for that purpose . This would allow the City Council flexibility to choose newspar�ors which would have considerably wider circulation within the City than the raper the City must currently use. This basis for selection of i a newspaper would also apply to the publication of Legal Notices (Proposed ,Section 503) . Proposed Section 602 . Budget. Submission to City Council . It is proposed thaf the U£yAJmini`sfra or be roqulTea to submit the proposed budget to Council at least 60 days prior to the be- ginning of each fiscal year. In addition, a public hearing on the budget is also required at least 15 days prior to the beginning of the fiscal year. This change is also reflected in Section 603. Budget. Public Ifearin . The Committee believes addit ona I time s; or pu c Input is essential to the budget process . I Proposed section 607 ., Tax Limits . This section setting forth specza ei• es w �.c may be made for various departments remains a3 It Is in the present charter. The first draft combined special levies into one with a single limit. After further consideration, this provision was deleted. f Proposed Section 608. Vote Required for Tax Measure. Since both c o CArT CommIttec s propos t on anU t c , ty s proposition wore approved in the last clection,both are included in the present Charter. Therefore , the Charter Revision Committee combined the two sections , clarified the language and changed the wording from "three-fourths to tho total voting; members of the City Council" to " five members of the. City Council ." Proposed Section 610, Bonded debt Limit. The proposed Charter lowers the on ec e t_1 mit trom INF to 121 of the total assessed valuation. Both City Staff and the Charter Revision Committee agreed fifteen per cent was an unrealistically high figure. Proposed Section 613. Bxecution of Contracts . A concern of staff , isinat they are rtat au on e o enter Me contracts in emer- gencies without Council approval . For instance, If the Santa Ana River is flooding and the Public Works Director purchases sandbags , he is violating the Charter. We prnhose that anv contract deemed by the City Administrator or any head of a City department to be necessary as an emergency mensure for the immediate preservation f of the public peace , health or safety, and containing a statement of the reasons for its urgency, may be entered into on behalf of the City by such City officer without the prior approval of the 1 I� Final 1leport Charter Revision 6. Ortc6ar 25o 1977 City Council , In an amount not to exceed $25 , 000 (rather than =10 ,000 as provided in the first draft . ) In addition, a completely new section not in the first draft has been added which requires competitive bidding, for public service co:itrncts over $25 ,00, except for professional services . Council is permltt,�d to establish lower limits if it desires to do so. Proposed Section 615. Granting of Franchises . Iranchises would ( bebetter handled by ordinance in order to promote flexibility and assert local control over any new agreements to the extent permitted under the State Constitution. Several items currently . adopted in the Charter such as the franchise Act of 1937 have handicapped the City in its dealings with utility companies. Therefore , the Committee suggests a simple phrase requiring the City Council to regulate the granting of franchises by ordinance. Proposed Section 800. Transition. It is proposed that elective officers continue to liold t eir offices until the completion of theJ r current terms. In Addition, those provisions of the current charter which are rrmaved from the new charter will remain in effect until the City Council adopts the appropriate ordinances, or for one year , whichever occurs first. The provision regarding the City Comptroller would not take effect until 1980.

We agree to meet with the Chairman and Vice Chairman in order to gain a more complete understanding of the goals and desires of the Charter Revision Committee. We will advise the Committee on the most efficient and offactive manner to proceed on the Charter RRvislon. Based upon the meetings with the Committee officers, we will propose a course of action for the Charter Revision Committee to follow in order to enable them to fully review and evaluate the existing charter of the City of Huntington Reach. We will work with the- Charter Revision Committee to help: them' identify those subject areas which are appropriate for inclusion in a charter, and those i+ems ,which are not appropriate to be included in a charter. Once the Committee has decided on the subject matters to be included in the charter, we will review the relevant charter provisions to ensure that they comply with judicial decisions, and 'with State and Federal law. In addition, we will draft proposed , • City of Huntington Beach March 24, 1977 - page two -- -----------•-----••------- I charter provisions for those subject areas not presently j covered by the charter or which the Committee feels should { be rowritten. i We agree to meet with the members of the Charter Revision Committee approximately 12 times to help them formu- late their goals, to discuss current law on various charter subjects, and to advise them on each charter provision. Our work for the Committee will commence on March 1, i 1977, and will end on November 30, 1977. It i9 understood and Agreed that this contract may be terminated by either party upon ton (10) days written notice to the other. In the 1 event thia contract is so terminated, the consultant will be paid for work none to date at an hourly rate of $60 per hour. In attempting to accomplish the complete revision of the City Charter of the City of Huntington Beach, we would not expect our time to exceed 200 hours. In the event that additional consulting services are required, we will provide those nervires at $65 per hour. Based upon my initial con- versatlons with the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Charter Revisribn Counittea, r am presently of the opinion that our work c:.n be accomplished for less than $12,000. We will bill the City monthly for our time, and in the event we determine that the need for our services iE going to exceed the amount budgeted, we agree to give the City at least thirty (30) dgys notice of such fact. We further agree that we will not exceed ;'• the $12,000 budget figure without the written permission of the City of Huntington Beach. Sincerely yours, APPROVED AS TO FORK!

Dame, Chairman Charter Revision Committee City of Huntington Beach 2000 Main Street Iluntirigton Beach, CA 92648 Dear tor. Dames ' to accordance with your lrtter of January 24 , , we are submitting a brief resume of oitr firm's experience and qualificat;ons in municipal and redevelopment law, ' and our view of the basis upon which we could undertake tra serve Lhe Huntington Beach Charter Revision Committee if the Committee should wish us to accept such an assignment. Our firm consists of 28 attorneys, ir, addition to which three now associates, 1977 law graduates, will join us in August. ,de .also have two para-legals, one of whom works exclusively in the municipal field, and the necessary secrc- tarial and support staff. Our firm, through its public law department, has specialized in municipal and public law for over twentsy years . e ` g y y thirteen ties in , We have served as city attorney .for..some ►..hirtean cities Los An eles Orange, and San Bernaidino Counties and presently , serve as city attorney for Seal Beach (a..'charter city) and the general law cities- of Carson, Rancho PaloL Verdes . Artesia, South El lfonte and Avalon. . We drafted 'the charter of the,' ; City of Cerritos (f6rmerly Dairy Valley) and have prepared charter amendments for the City of Seal Beach, have. organized and drafted municipal cedes for a number of newly incorporated cities , represented t;Ie City of Victorville` in establishing : � thu' first comprehensive county-city relationship in San Jerome M. name, Chairman Charter Revision Committee City of Huntington Beach February N, 1977 Page Two Bernardino County, and have performed the full range of city attorney services for both "contract" and "independent" or full-service cities. We have also acted as special counsel Ito the State of Pla3ka and the State of California. our background in constitutional law is comprehensive. We have been involved in ad•,,ising our governmental clients concerning constitutional questions on a regular basis, as well as having extensive constitutional litigation experience . This w-)rk has ranged from the field of planning and zoning in which we have more than twenty-five years of concentrated experience to employee rights. As you may know, zoning and development of the Palos Verdes Peninsula were the major issues in the incorporation of Rancho Palos Verdes in 1973. In order to enable Accomplishment of that incorporation over the opposi- tion of a number of major land holders , it was necessary to have a portion of the incorporation statute (relating to protests by a majority of the assessed value) declared unconstitut3onal. This was accomplished in the landmark decision of the California Supreme Court in Curtis v. Board of Supervisors, 7 Cal. 3rd 942. We have more recently litigated redevelopment# meet and confer, inverse condemnation, and charter questions in both State and Federal courts. To date, all of such action's 'hava been successfully defended, as have various legal attacks on actions of the redevelopment agencies. We have also success- fully defended various attacks on business license ordinances and other city ordinances. The fi.rrr has been engaged from time t to time as special litigation counsel to handle litigation 'for several cities which we do not prns;ently serve as city attorney, including the cities of Inglewood, Newport Beach, Industry, and others. These legal actions have included eminent domain, injunction, writs of mandate, and other civil litigation. We have five attorneys who work almost exclmsively iii the: municipal law area and several other attorneys who devote a significant portion of their time to municip.'.,1 law !� work. ; I - 1 . k Jerome H. Bame, Chairman Charter Revision Committee City of tiuntingtor. Beach February 81 1977 Page Three Glenn R. Watson hay practiced law in California for more than thirty years and is one of the founding partners and a senior partner in the law firm. For more than twenty-- five years his practice has concentrated on zoning, planning and public law with major emphasis on municipal law. Patrick C. Coughlan, a partner of the firm, has more than ten years experience in the field of public law and is licenseeLl to prectice law in both lorida and California . While , in Florida, tar. Coughlan served as town attorney for Ocean Ridge and village attorney for Village of Golf, Florida, a,.d also served as a municipal judge. Since joining the firm, Mr. Coughlan has represented the cities of Var%-!'.;o Palos Verdes and Seal !leach. In the event our firm is called upon to provide the consulting services described in your fetter, Mr. Coughlan � will be the partner coordinating anal responsible for the i participation of this office. Mr. Watson will also partic- ipate and lend hit extensive experience to the project. :n addition, other attorneys in the firm will be called upon vo assist Mr. Coughlan as necessary to successfully complete the project. The preliminary '_egal work consisting of reviewing the Chart:ex for provisions which must be revised to insure compliance with judicial decisions, State and Federal law and advising the committee on the most efficient and effec- tive manner to proceed on a total Charter revision would be provided at a cost not to exceed $2,000 . In order to estimate the time which would be required to complete the entire pre.- ject, it would be necessary for us to know the goals and objectives of the Charter Revision Committee, the scope of the work the consultant is to undertake , as; ti,ell as the number of meetings we will be expected to attend. The ' necessary additional services would be provided at an hourly rate not to exceed -in averagt: of $65 per hour. r I ' l c R n Jerome 14.

Re : Charter Consultant Proposal Gentlemen: 1 Thank you for your invitation to trubmit a proposal to ! provide the Charter Revision Committee of the City of Huntington ;^ Beach with legal consultant services for revision of your t" Charter. We feel that we are uniquely qua.lificd to provide this service, and would be happy to do so on the basis stated j in this letter. I t, tI Rutan & Tucker is a Taw firm comprised currently of Fifty- seven attorneys , with !:ourteen devoting their practice to the specialization of the law governing public agencies. Ile have offices in the Orange County Civic Center area in Santa Ana, as well ns the Uuwport financial Center. Bee-ruse of the size of our. firm we are able to utilize, the most modern and complete �_- library, computerized data processing, wort) processing and other facilities available. 1. f` The athorney in our firm that: would have prime responsibility for this service would be myself. I am a full ):lartner, with t, eighteen years of experience in representing cities. I have been the City A.:torney of the Cities of Irvine, Lynwood, Cypress and { Yorba ' inda. Currently I am the City Attorney of 1_vine, the �. is 1 - RUTnN & TucK rR City of Huntington t3 ach February 4 , 1977 Rage Two Assistant City Attorney of Yorba Linda and t-hrr Deputy City � Attorney of Lynwood . Other partners in the firm now re:prez=ent I there cities other. than Irvine as City Attorney as well as the City of La Palma'. In addition , we represent the cities of Garden Grave and Iuller. ton on a regular continuitig special counsel basis . tie also have represented more than one hundred cities in ' California on various individual projects cis :special counsel . we ar.e familiar with the law >relatinci to school districts as tti-ell, by virtue of out: representation of school districts " both as general counsel and special. counsel . Further, we represent various redevelopment agencies as general counsel- and as special counsel . We also are nationally recognized bond counsel, whose legal opinion on issues of public debt is acceptable Lo substantially al-1 of the major batihing and financial institut:.ions throughout the United States . Ile have been involved in many of. 1:11r. Appellate and Supreme Court: decisions defining the powers anti duties of charter cities in California. One of these wns the 13isho ap v. San Jose case before the California Supreme Con t , in which we represented seventy cities in California , through the League of California Cities, as amicus curiae . We have prepared charters .and charter revisions for several cities and counties throughout the stote, including two of the moat recent, the charters for the cities of Cypress anti Irvine . In this capacity, we have worker] closely and well with the non- legal personnel of the charter commissions; . 1 I served as attorney for the League of California Cities and the County Supervisors' Association and their lay committee for a period of over three years in drafting the new Subdivision Map Act, interfacing with advocate associations and groups and advocating its adoption before the: Legislature. I aluo served on the Attorney General' s special task force: which recently revised the California Environmental Quality Act, and have served in various capacities with the League of California Cities, including membership on a City Attorney Advisory Committee. ;i • RUTAN 6 TuCKcn City of Huntington [teach February 4, 1977 Page Three sI am a past president of the orange County City Attorneys ' Association and various other professional associations relates] to the practice of municipal law. Our experience has been that the snope of work entailed in a total revision of a charter can vary widely according to the objectives sought to be accomplished , As an example, the cost of preparation of the Charter of the City of Irvine was more than twice that of the City of Cypress. Our best efforts ' at this lime would be that the complete revision would run somewhere between $5, 000.00 - $10,000 .0n , for which we would charge a composite hourly rate of $G". 00 per ?lour of attorney' s time. I I trust that this letter adequately answers the questions posed in your letter, and hope that it: will prove to be -:he basis of an opportunity to work with the Committee in providing the City with a Charter that will accomplish its objective:. .

Box 190 Huntington Beach, CA 92640 Re: City of Huntington Beach- Charter Revision Committee Dear Mr. Dania: 'hank you for your recent- inquiry concerning your desire to employ a consultant to the Charter 1 Revision Committee for the City of Huntington Beach. As you may be aware, for many years Mr. Charles Martin and I were engaged in the practice of municipal law, is a firm known as "Martin & Flandrick" , in San Marino , California. As of the 1st: of February, Mr. Martin, having "retired" to the position of City Managor for several cities, I have become a partner in the firm of Burk::, WilliLms & Sorensen. Accordingly, please con- sider this letter a response on behalf of that firm with respect to the Charter Revision Committee consul- tent position. We would be most happy to perform the services as requested by you with respect to the: proposed revision of the City 's Charter. If you see fit to employ us in this capacity, I will be the attorney principally reepon- sible for the pnrforinance of such work. Should I be unavailable at any particular time, Mr. Mark C. Allen or, Mr. Royal M. Sorensen of this firm would, of course, be available to assist yuu. As you are aware, Mr. Allen, I•tr. Sorensen, and myself have been engaged, almout .ex- i clusively, in the practice of municipal law for a number of years. All of us presently serve in the capacity as City Attorney for both General Law and Chattered Cities. We have- all been involved at one titre or another, in the process of preparing new charters and revising existing W E L� F'•o 0 ,1 1977 CITY"OF HUNIINGTON PEACH CITY COUNCIL OFFICE Jerome M. Bame February 1, 1977 Page Two charters for various cities. uur charges would be at the hourly rate of $75.00, plus out-of-pocket costs. It is difficult to give you an accurate time and cost estimate for this work. But it would appear that for the preliminary work, from ten to twelve hours of concen Crated time would be necessary to evaluate tho existing charter provisions, and to recommend such amendments to existing provisions, as may be required to render the same consistent with either judicial or legislative: pronounce- ments. It would seem most appropriate, after that review, for the consultant to meet with the full committee, in a general session, to consider the various proposals and answer general questions, which the committee may have in mind, with resrect to such charter revision. Thereafter, I would see the function to be performed by the consultant to consist of the drafting of the provisions of the charter and attendance at periodic meetings of the committee, 'on an "on-call" basis. In response to Fir. Harold Bauman' s comments concerning the timing of an interview, please be advised that I am available on February 9th, 1.0th or llth; rfr. Allen is available on the 10th or the llth, but not on the 9th. Please advise as to when you desire_ this inter- view. sincerely, Robert Flandrick ! " of BURKE, MLLIMIS & SORENSEN RF/ma cc: Floyd G.

The Charter Revision Committee has directed L•he undersigned, as its Chairman, to direct this correspondence to you and , thereafter, to Address the City Council on the following matters: A. To compliment the City Council on its recognition of the need for a Charter Revision Committee to study the desirability of a revis9.un of the City Charter due to numerous changes in the general law of the State of California and the growth of the City of Huntington Beach since the last major study of the City Charter fwas undertaken. B.

The basic reason for this position is that the executive and legislntive sections of our city government are Just entering tale final pilasc., caf achieving the goals and objectives of the lnst charter change. Also, I it appent-s rhat thy.: existing charter intctncled to establish stability in the functional departmental structure.

The interviews revealed that 5 members were against limit-- ing the Mayor to two four-year terms and two k-re in favor,44ith one of these suggesting that this should be extended to Council- I. raen also.

The chairman replied that he has had a letter from Mr, Bollens stating that lie could not be present in the b=ediate future. The chairman has nc-v writton to Dr. Henry Reining, Jr. asking either he or Frank Sherwood of UCLA to speak t;efore the rommi,ttee. 8e doea not yet have a reply. Discussion was opened an the OfXice of City Cler); and a reviow of the duties of the clerk taus made,. Reading from the model city charter, cectiona 2.00 and 2.16; Authentication and recording, codificatica:s, printing of all ordinances and reaolutione, ,maintaining legally authenticated records of ordinances and reaolutiona and making them uvuilable to the public, codification and printing. From the present city chartort the city cler)t ahall be the ex-officio city auditor. The clerk shall bo responsible and have custody of the corporate seal, all, books, papers, records, contracts, and archives belonging to thn city or to any department thereof. ... . .he shall keep full and accurate minutes of the proceedings of -the meetings of the city council, and shall record all ordinances and official bonds. ... . .have the power to take affidavi.to and actninicter oaths And perforn ouch other duties as may be prescribed by tho charter, f resolution or ordinance of the city council. He shall act as arty i collector, asse Boor. and clerk to the board of egualivati.on. Ij Williams - the same othtements made regarding the office of city :attorney apply also to t'rie office of city clerk. The clerk performs { g function directly for the council.. the primary difference being ; that: the yr it iaa jority of California cities are general law cities I and under the incorporation act by which they operate, the clerk and t:reaaurer have historically been elect:e:u.along with a five member ;. city council. There in a long history of elected clerks and ` treasurers. The situation 1.ws changed drastically aincq tha days When it wag provided thst they be elected. With the increase of city manager type systems and charter city systems of financial 1 adminiatration. (.. .further dirscusn'ton of the history of 6th class cities... .) The clerk was then about the only officer i present all the time. The clerk was the accounting officer of the city. The treasurer tvag the holder of the moneyr the clerk accounted for the money. Nos the clerk has no finranceresponeibilities or functions. Be is prhmarily concerned with the ordinances and remolut:inns and indexing thereof, filing and indexing of conirxcts, the custodian of the city seal, he has the power of admtniaatertng oaths, he may be, the ex-officio assessor but usually 19 not ainre the county handles this function. The clerk serves the council and keeps its records. There in no reason to elect a clerk except that historically general law cities hate elected - their clerks. Wilerr-we have made the clerk appointed, a, opposition by the public is primarily created because of h this officer ram*ved. aving their power to exact Par e 3 - !l.inu(,X:nj - April 7, 1.9(ia Under the corporate structure if you have a clerk who Boca not perform* he may be removed. The office of treasurer iu to provide a check and balance of the system. The clerk keeps the accounts, the treasurer keeps the money. Tho treasurer pays out the money on warrants executed as specified by the charter. The council adoptu the budget, the finance officer drawn the warrant, the treasurer honors the warrants. Mangano requested lira. Diekoff who was present in the audience to .,state her position. The chairman stated that as this in a study session the chair would go according to a majority desire of the members present in regard to Mru. Diekoff addressing the committee. Mr. Jiangtano made a motion that Kra. Diekoff be allowed to describe her duties. Seconded by Bangoy. A rather lengthy dincunsion ensued relative to this mot.�on. Notion carried by the following votat VME: AYES 5 Noss 1 ZOSTAINED 3 ABSENT 6 Mru. Diekoff took a chair at thn table. 2angoy - question to Mrs. Dickaff -• We have a fInance director established by ordinance, but can you clarify for un the following functions: Treasurer, Auditor, Anseasor, Finance Director, Collector? lira Diekoff - We have-no assleenor. The County of Orange does this. The clerk was asssesssor in the past.. The collector is now under the control of the treasurer. The finance director functions as inturnai controls is the auditor and general accountant for the city. He 3teeps books, bill, detailed recwrdr, And presents them to council. � After council agreed,that they be paid, they go to the treasurer ` for the checks to be drawn. By state law some functions are under I the treasurer and cannot be delegated to anyone else. Mr Bangoy - question to Mrs. Diekoff - la the collector for license t fees under the tranourer7 s Fire. Diekoff -- The clerk issues the licennen and an office girl (c164.) collectls the money and turns it over to the treasurer daily. W. Mangano -w question to lire. Diel.off - Xs there a lording re3quire- ctent for the office of treasurer. r XZ8. Diekoff - Yes - Page 4 -- Kinutes - April, 7, 1965 There followed a discussion of the 1911 Act . Vie treasurer collects the money for the bondholdera. These are non-city duties. The treasurer does these f hingts for the benefit of the assessmestt dis::rict. Mr, Williams stated that our preeent city charter iu vague as to the financial control. When no city manager type government bxints, the city council adopt,s the budget, approves expenditurQn, audits c).aime, and dertards. Under the council/manager forth of government, the council seta the tax rate and -wlrproves the budget. The manager appoints the finance officer. Xf an item its included in the budget it does not go back to the cawuvzil for approval for payment. The warrant iv drawn on the treasurer. The treasurer is appointed b y I the council and is a check on the netiona of the: finance officer i who is appointed by the City nuinager. The finance officer checks each demand, price, delivery, whether or not budgsated. If all is in order, he draws a warrant on the treasurer. The treasurer draws a check for payment. The council appointu the adm.iniatrative arm but before final transaction a matter goes be.00re the treasurer who is an officer not answerable to ty:.* c ity mannager as a cheek and balance of the � system. i The gteateat concern of the public is that they want to make sure thev are able to keep the game treasurer and clerk and this is why it ' is ndviaable - thEtt they are given status with the personnel board. � ti Presently the clerk has already been divested of all financial � responsibilities. Bangoy tc Williams - Since we do have. elected clerk and treasurer do you fee: thero is adequate opporturity to ensure the qualifications for those positions should they be made appointive, aaeuring a highly qualified individual filling the position. Williams - Yea, this can be written into the charter. The question of appointed or elected positions largely depends on the popularity of the pteaent clerk and treasurer and if they approve the change. If these people oppose the charge and they are populsr with the people, the charter election can be defeated. Mr Porter to Williams - Which positions %ical.d be appointed? 11illiaro8 -- Clerk, Pdlice Chief, City Attorney, Trcanurer, tentatively. Under city manager fortt of government the city manager may make appointmeate of department heads.

Thero may be some merit in appointing these pouitions to avoid this. ,!j 11 �! Williama -- If you have popular elected clerk and treasurer, and they oppose being changed from elected to appointed, again va rj stated before, they will defeat the charter for you.

Thu pexsrnnol board performs tins tt or tbree primary functions but not that of fixing salarion, how I mauy employees. They do conduct examinations mild certify eligibility lists. They hear c=plainta by personnel concoxni.ng demotions, discharges, . ....you can have a system whereby the board can xedom mend or can order. Coen Regarding the Anaheim intent when they incorporated the provision for the adoption of a peroonnel system by the council. Can you explain wby 'chin t,►oa done! ftil.l.iamn - Anaheim had a pernonnO ordinance drawn at the thee. It ima a loose personnel system. Mr. Wil.liama read from the Anaheim charter relating to personnel provioicnn. In personnel systems the hearing results i;i a recommendation as to the action to be taken There is a difference in the cUauotation or personnel system and I civil avrvi.ceY board. While you may do justices to they individual who h&u been fired, you may do an injustice to the pity. Mr. Williams gave an exa-mple of how this could happon. i page 8 - tiinuten Ppril 7, 1965 I BDngoY to Williams -• In essence what we break doum to is that it would be good prentice to retain the ptr.4er of the department head to hire and fire hie employees The personnel system simply insures that the department ]lead himself does not become a personality. I Villlama - A personnel system is a daterent to wrongdoing. Advnnt;ayea are that it is not too utriet v system. Henricksen - Ragaring the Police Department, it took nix months to gat cour.cil approval of the prr'eent personnel ordinance. Since the police department could not be a Port of this ordinance (the chief of police bei ig elected) the chief at that time agreed to voluntarily adopt the rulon and regulations of the prevent aystem . .or his depart-mcnt. if Williame - It is say observation thnt/you give the employee no p;otpation lie will not like it. If you put into the charter ithat the' council ncil shall adopt an adequate system you ar,3 batter off. When you spell out the detail& of thu system you again get a difference of opinion. Mangano -- requested a show of hands as to whether a personnel board o) sane form shosild be written into the charter. Williams rend from the Pnabeim charter tend noted that the Anaheim cIaarter does not include the ;ArL se which is generally inQluded in charters, that is "once an office or department is included under i , the personnel system, it cannot be deleted without a vote of the people" This was purpovely left out of the Anaheim charter.
