x x r qx REQUEST FOR. CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: 7/21/2014
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Lori Ann Farrell, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 2014-38 approving the certification of Special
Assessments for delinquent Civil Fines for Municipal Code Violations
Statement of Issue:
As part of an annual process, the City records notices of special assessment against private
property for the value of unpaid civil fines, plus interest and penalties, pursuant to Ordinance #3397
adopted by the City on June 15, 1998. City Council approval is required in order to meet the filing
deadline with the County of Orange.
Financial Impact:
The total amount of assessments included in this action equal $209,100. These special
assessments have been included in the FY 2014/15 Proposed Budget estimates for General Fund
revenue.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution No 2014-38, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Certifying Special Assessments for Collecting Delinquent Civil Fines for Municipal Code Violations."
Alternative Action(s):
Do not adopt the Resolution and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
In June 1998, the City Council adopted Huntington Beach Municipal Code Chapter 1.18,
authorizing the issuance of administrative citations that impose civil fines for violation of the
Municipal Code of the City of Huntington Beach. Pursuant to Section 1.18.150 of the Municipal
Code, the City may certify certain fines, interest, and penalties as delinquent and have them
collected as special assessments against the real property involved. Assessments are limited to
property related violations wherein the fines exceed $250.00 cumulatively and are 60 days past
due. In addition, all hearing or appeal rights of the cited persons have been exhausted.
For each of the properties being considered for placement of a lien, staff has verified that the
owners have received proper notification of the violations, citations, notification of the outstanding
fines and fees due, and of the potential for placement of a lien on their property for non-payment of
the outstanding fines and fees. Property owners have also received invoices for the outstanding
fines and fees and have been provided the opportunity to make payment arrangements.
The civil fines identified on Exhibit A to this Resolution have not been paid. The fine amounts
would be levied against the properties, non-payment of which would incur penalties and would

appear as an exception to the title on a title report at the time of transfer of the property. In
addition, the fines will be reported to the County Tax Assessor for inclusion on the property tax bills.
It must be noted that there are two large assessments for this year. The first, for a total of
$103,953.50 relates to fines, penalties and interest related to code enforcement action against a
medical marijuana establishment operating illegally within the City. The second, for $69,664.70
relates to fines, penalties and interest related to code enforcement action against an office building
for blighted conditions.
Environmental Status:
Not Applicable.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Improve long-term financial sustainability.
