As this bill was moving quickly through the legislature and had the potential to impact development in the city, I, in consultation with the Mayor Pro Tern and City Administrator, determined that the need to take fast track action on this bill was warranted. In conjunction with that action, a letter of opposition was sent to the Assembly Natural Resources Committee, and a trip to Sacramento to testify in opposition to the bill was planned. I am pleased to report be that because of our action AB 1459 died in committee.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 5/7/2007 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: AD 07-13 Analysis: 1. SUPPORT SB 645 (Correa) - Giving the Orange County Sanitation District authority to use a design build process for projects over $10 million Existing law requires public entities to comply with certain procedures in soliciting and evaluating bids and awarding contracts for the erection, construction, alteration, repair, or improvement of any public structure, building, road, or other public improvement. The Orange County Sanitation District is seeking authority to use a design-build process on projects of over $10 million as a means of expediting and reducing the cost for certain projects. SB 645 would authorize, the Orange County Sanitation District to enter into design-build contracts in excess of $10,000,000, as defined, according to a specified procedure, until January 1, 2013. The Intergovernmental Relations Committee is recommending that the City Council support SB 645. 2. OPPOSE AB 1459 (Levine) — Amending the California Coastal Act of 1976 to prohibit, in the coastal zone, a unit in an overnight visitor-serving commercial facility from being sold for individual ownership or part-time private occupancy The California Coastal Act of 1976 provides that the use of private lands suitable for visitor-serving commercial recreational facilities designed to enhance public opportunities for coastal recreation shall have priority over private residential, general industrial, or general commercial development, but not over agriculture or coastal-dependent industry. AB 1459 would prohibit in the coastal zone a unit in an overnight visitor-serving commercial facility from being sold for individual ownership or being used for part-time private occupancy. AB 1459 would also prohibit in the coastal zone the conversion, in whole or part, of an overnight visitor-serving commercial facility to a full-time or part-time private residential facility. Because the existing process with local review and review by the Coastal Commission provides many opportunities for concerns regarding the make up of a project to be addressed, and because AB 1459 would preempt that process, the Intergovernmental Relations Committee is recommending that the City Council take a position opposing AB 1459. A letter opposing AB 1459 was sent to the Assembly Natural Resources Committee utilizing the Legislative fast track process. 3. APPROVE a Resolution of the City of Huntington Beach in support of the Orange County Water District's Groundwater Replenishment System. In March of 1999, the City Council approved a resolution supporting the Orange County Water District's plan for a groundwater replenishment system. The Water District has been moving forward with this system, and they are about to begin implementation. Since it has been a number of years since the city adopted its original resolution, the Water District is requesting that the city renew its support for the program with this new resolution. The Intergovernmental Relations Committee is recommending that the Council approve this resolution. -2- 4/24/2007 10:07 AM REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 5/7/2007' DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: AD 07-13 Strategic Plan Goal_: Helps to meet the Strategic Plan Goal under "Infrastructure" to improve water conservation.

(b) In addition to the requirements of subparagraph (A) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (d) of Section 20133, the Orange County Sanitation District shall also establish a procedure to prequalify design-build entities and all subcontractors, including, but not limited to, mechanical and electrical subcontractors using a standard questionnaire. The questionnaire shall include a list of all partners, general partners, or association members known at the time of bid submission who will participate in the design-build contract, including, but not limited to, mechanical and electrical subcontractors. (c) For purposes of this section, all references in Section 20133 to "county" and "board of supervisors" shall mean the Orange County Sanitation District and its board of directors, respectively.

This overlapping of design and construction can reduce the overall time necessary to complete the project. Design-build differs from traditional tzie design-bid-build methods by delegating the design process to the contracting andne,r7, team.
