STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Police Department has been requested to examine the possibility of establishing a reward
policy to assist in gaining information on high profile crimes where the suspect(s) is unknown.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It has been the experience in Law Enforcement that very little, if any, useful information has
been received through the use of a reward system in high profile criminal cases. It is
recommended that the City maintain its current position of supporting and assisting all private
endeavors as they relate to rewards.
ANALYSIS
From time to time violent crimes occur in the City of Huntington Beach and the information on
the suspect(s) is minimal, -and there is very little physical evidence at the scene of the crime.
Often the amount of information obtained from citizens/witnesses decreases significantly or
completely within a short period of time. In some cases there are people with critical
information that are hesitant to come forward either out of fear for their own safety, or from a
lack of willingness to become involved. The purpose of offering a reward in these cases is an
attempt to entice these people to come forward with their information.
1
There are several methods of establishing rewards:
1. Private Funds
Monies for a reward can be acquired through donations from private parties or fund
raisers. The City can assist by giving support through its relationship with the media,
endorsing the reward effort, and giving technical support.
Pros
Community becomes involved
No public monies are expended
Case exposure , ?j
Possibility of receiving useful information �"

3. Beginning on September 1, 1994, each department head should submit a monthly report
limited to two typewritten pages. The format can be determined by the City Administrator, but it
should contain key information. For example, the Police Department report should contain
statistics for the 6 major crime categories for the latest month available, crime statistics year-to-
date, crime statistics for the year earlier month and crime statistics for the year earlier
year-to-date.

TELEVISING CITY COUNCIL/REDEVELOPMENT
STUDY SESSIONS
Consistent with Council Policy? [ ] Yes [ ] New Policy or Exception
Statement of Issue, Recommendation, Analysis, Funding Source,Alternative Actions,Attachments: 6ewd,
Statement of Issue:
The City Council has decided to hold regular study sessions on the 4th Monday of the
month. The current policy only provides for City Council/Redevelopment meetings held
in the City Council Chambers to be televised and replayed the following morning. Staff is
seeking direction from City Council as to whether or not to televise the City
Council/Redevelopment study sessions held the fourth Monday of the month and to replay
them the next morning.
Recommendation:
Hold the City Council/Redevelopment Agency's 4th Monday of the month study sessions
in the City Council Chambers, televise the study sessions, and have them replayed the
following morning.
Analysis:
The current policy of HBTV-3 is to televise all regular City Council/Redevelopment
meetings held in the City Council Chambers and to replay those meetings the following
morning, beginning at 8:00 a.m. With the establishment of the 4th Monday of the month
as a City Council/Redevelopment study session, staff is seeking direction from the City
Council as to whether or not to televise these study sessions and replay them the following
morning. It has been the practice of the City Council to hold study sessions in the meeting
room adjacent to the City Council Chambers(Room B-8). This provides for a less formal
setting for the work study session to take place. During these study sessions, the City
Council and city staff discuss various city projects for the purpose of increasing everyone's
understanding of the project and for staff to receive input and direction from the City
Council.

There are a few issues that the City Council needs to be aware of as it relates to televising
the City Council/Redevelopment study sessions. From a purely technical perspective, it is
staffs belief that televising City Council/Redevelopment study sessions could be best
accomplished from the City Council Chambers. The City Council Chambers is equipped
for television. The Chambers has the necessary lighting, provides for a less labor intensive
production (3 employees), and has a public address system in which all participants in the
meeting have a microphone in front of them in order to be clearly heard by the viewing
audience. The labor cost for conducting a 3.5 hour study session in the City Council
Chambers would be $192.00 per meeting.
If the Council would want to continue the practice of holding City Council
Redevelopment study sessions in the meeting room adjacent to the City Council Chambers
(B-8), then the meeting can certainly be televised. The technical quality of the meeting
could suffer because the room is not properly lighted, there is a limited public address
system (limited number of microphones), making it difficult to pick-up everything that is
being said at the meeting resulting in a chance that it cannot be heard clearly by the
viewing audience. Also, the design of Room B-8 makes it difficult to position the cameras
so that the viewing audience can clearly see all of the meeting participants. Lastly, a
production from Room B-8 is labor intensive, requiring a staff of between 5-7 persons.
The estimated labor cost for televising City Council study sessions from Room B-8 is
$388.00 per meeting.
If it is the decision of the City Council to televise the 4th Monday of the month City
Council/Redevelopment study sessions, no matter where the meeting is held, the HBTV-3
staff will provide the highest quality service possible to insure that the viewing audience
can receive the benefits which the City Council intends them to receive from televising the
study sessions.
Alternatives:
Discretionary with the City Council
Funding Source:
Funding for televising the study session will come from the existing HBTV-3 budget.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Determine whether the City Council desires to make adjustments to the day and time that the City Council
continues their regularly scheduled meetings when they are unable to complete all scheduled agenda items at
their regular meeting; and to consider establishing the 4th Monday of the month as a time for the City
Council\Redevelopment Agency to hold work study sessions.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Adopt Resolution a 6 of f which changes the practice of continuing unfinished City Council agenda
items from being heard the following Monday to the next business day, or another day if agrecA to l}y a
majority of the City Council, and establish the fourth Monday of the month as a City Council workrtudy
session.

2. Adopt Resolution 456 establishing the 4th Monday of the month at 6:30 p.m. as the dite ands
for holding Redevelopment Agency work study sessions.
A
ANALYSIS
On November 15, 1993,the City Council adopted Resolution 6547 which established the City Council
current policy of: (1) Starting regular City Council meetings at 5:00 p.m. with the televised/business and
public comment's portion of the meeting to begin at 6:30 p.m.; (2) Reaffirmed that no meeting of the City
Council shall continue beyond 11:00 p.m. without a majority vote of the City Council; and(3) Established a
policy for items not acted upon to be carried forward to the following Monday if scheduling permits.
The City Council agenda items have become more complex and the amount of time needed by the City
Council to deliberate on agenda items has expanded. To insure that all items scheduled on a City Council
agenda are considered in a timely manner, staff is recommending that the City Council consider modifying
their current policy regarding the continuation of City Council agenda items. Staff is suggesting that if the
City Council is unable to complete all the agenda items scheduled for a regular meeting,those items will be
continued to the next business day (or another day if agreed to by a majority of the Council) instead of the
current practice of continuing the items to the following Monday. � J

CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
HUNTINGTON BEACH
TO: Connie Brockway, City Clerk via Pat Dapkus, Management Assistant
FROM: Ralph Bauer, City Councilmember e4z
DATE; July 21, 1994
SUBJECT: H Item for August 1, 1994 Council meeting
Please include this memo under my H items on the August 1, 1994, Council Agenda.
To permit adequate Council input, to minimize confusion on the part of the staff as to the
Council's intent, and to keep the Council and public informed, it is requested that the City Council
approve the following policies:
1. At least bi-monthly the City Administrator will provide the City Council with a progress report
on items which are of an urgent nature or items which the City Council has passed by majority
vote. The individual items may be generated from requests by City Councilmembers. When the
project is complete or on request by the appropriate City Council member, the item may be
dropped from this reporting requirement.
The report by the City Administrator should be very brief and should, where appropriate, include
the original target date for completion. If the target date cannot be met, reasons for the inability
to meet the target date should be set. If there is sensitive information which is properly discussed
in Executive Session, or which may jeopardize the project's success, it may be omitted from
broad public disclosure, after consultation with the Mayor or his/her representative.
It is requested that this program start.by September 1, 1994, and that the following items be the
subject of this reporting program.
• Search for a new Public Works Director
• General Plan Amendment
• Downtown Specific Plan Districts 1-6
• Downtown Specific Plan Districts 7-11
• Quality Improvement Program
• Traffic Signal Installation
• Yorktown Widening
• Library Parking Lot

• Oak View Library
• Paramedic Services and payback to general fund
• Pier buildings (city buildings, Ruby's and Maxwells)
• Pier Plaza
• Pacific Coast Highway striping and OCTA refund
• South Beach improvements- Seawall north of the pier
• Police regionalization program
• Public Works privatization review
• Administrative Services audit
• Community Development completion of action on audit items

• Affordable housing element
• Surfcrest - Oceancrest - Seapoint
• Linear Park
• Bolsa Chica
• Salary Spiking
• Central Park Master Plan - Youth Sports complex
• Art Center
• Bartlett Park
• Meadowlark Project
2. All consultants should be introduced at least to the Mayor, but preferably a delegation from
the Council prior to their employment contract being approved by the Council. The reason for
this is that a)the consultants should understand that their ultimate obligation is to the City
Council and; b)the consultant should have an understanding of the general attitudes, philosophy,
and vision of the City Council.
PAGE 2
Such a change will insure that any agenda item that is not addressed during the Monday evening meeting will
be addressed that same week. This will expedite City Council business.
There are important agenda items that come before the City Council that are complex and require a
significant amount of discussion among the City Council members. To assist the City Council in it's review
of the more complex issues that are scheduled to come before the City Council, it is recommended that the
City Council establish the fourth Monday of the month as a City Council work session. At the work session,
the City Council can spend time studying the details of projects or issues and provide direction to staff. It is
suggested that these work study sessions begin at 6:30 p.m.
The work study sessions will be held in room B-8 and not televised. However, from time-to-time the City
Administrator or City Council may determine it would be more suitable to hold the work study session in the
City Council Chamber. In those cases,the City Administrator will, in consultation with the Mayor,
determine whether the work study session will be televised.

Statement of Issue, Recommendation,Analysis, Funding Source, Alternative Actions, Attachments:
Statement of Issue: Determining whether the City Council desires to set the time for regular
meetings to start at 5:00 P.M., with the televised/business portion of the meeting to begin at 6:00
P.M.; with the work/study/closed session to be incorporated into the official meeting the night on
which it occurs, and establish a policy for items which are not completed at the regular meeting.
Recommendation: Approve Resolution 6547 , and thereby
1. change the time for regular meetings of the City Council to begin at 5:00 P.M. with the
televised/business and public comments portion of the meeting to begin at 6-6e P.M. f+i.epul iic

2. reaffirm that no meeting of the City Council shall continue beyond 11:00 P.M. without a
majority vote of the Council; and
3. establish a policy for items not acted upon to be carried forward to4*044N& the following
Monday if scheduling permits.
Analysis: Over the course of the past several months, the business of the City Council has been
such that often meetings have continued beyond the 11:00 P.M. time for concluding. In order to
assure that the Council has sufficient time for conducting business at their regular meetings on the
first and third Monday of each month, the above resolution would move the televised/business
portion of the City Council regular meetings to 6:00 P.M. with the work/study/closed sessions
portion of the meeting-to begin at 5:00 P.M. This change would allow an additional hour for
conducting business. It is intended that the Public Comments portion of the meeting should not
be closed until 7:00 P.M.
Further, with this action, the work/study/closed session portion of the meeting would now be
viewed as a part of the regular meeting the night on which it occurs. In the past, the
work/study/closed session was viewed as a part of the adjourned previous City Council meeting.
This necessitated two sets of meeting for each meeting night.

policy would provide that if scheduling permits these items would be carried forward to 6:00 P.M.
the following Monday.

Subject: PROPOSED MEETING ON THE BOLSA CHICA BETWEEN
APPROPRMIE FEDERAL,STATE, COUNTY,AND CITYSTAFF
The City is in the process of monitoring the EIR/EIS process for the application before the
County of Orange to develop parts of the Bolsa Chica. The City will also, in the coming months,
develop its preferred plan for the preservation, restoration, and development of the 1,700 acres of
the Bolsa Chica. In order to accomplish the above in the most responsible and complete fashion,
I am proposing that the Mayor of Huntington Beach facilitate a meeting at which staff members
from the appropriate federal, state, county, and city agencies/departments be invited to give their
input. This meeting should be held in the first few months of the coming year to receive their
input in a timely fashion, in relation to when,the city must complete its formulation of a preferred
plan.
I will be proposing this at the Council meeting of December 6, 1993. If you have any questions
or comments regarding the above,please feel free to contact me.
