I have owned my home in our Downtown neighborhood for six years. I applaud the Council and Police Chief Small for a good start on curbing our Downtown's binge drinking. The Council should implement Chief Small's recommendations, but I urge you to do much more. For our strategic objectives, residential quality of life should be our first priority. Mayor Boardman and Council Member Shaw put forth this sentiment with their 2010 campaign slogan, "Community First". You correctly emphasized that by making Huntington Beach the best place to live, we can address all other challenges. A 2011 survey by Huntington Beach Neighbors showed that our Downtown had 39 "on- sale" ABC establishments (and two new CUPs since), with total capacity of more than 6,000. Per ABC, this area should have only five "on-sale" licenses: Our over saturation is a multiple of eight times. Given our census tract's fewer than 4,000 residents, Main Street's bar patrons can exceed 150% of the neighboring population. For 2012 and 2011, Main Street (RD 451) had by far the worst crime in our City, 15 times the average and over two times any other area. California's Office of Traffic Safety ranked Huntington Beach, among more than 50 midsize cities, fifth, first, and fourth for the last three years available, 2010, 2009, and 2008, in alcohol related accidents resulting in death or serious injury per capita. These catastrophic . numbers were not caused by weak law enforcement. We ranked fourth, fourth, and third in DUI arrests. Chief Small has said that DUI accidents are our leading public f� i ggz��a�� COMMUNICATION ante: ' 3 - .20/3 1AgOMSMMrho. �� For 2011-2012, California's Department of Education reports that the Huntington Beach Union High School District had the worst truancy rate in the County, with 53.0% of students being truant at least one day. The State and County averages were far less, 28.5% and 19.3%. For our Downtown neighborhood and City, this state of affairs is completely unacceptable. Overflowing from Main Street's drunken rowdiness, we literally have a City facilitated public nuisance, depriving we residents of our rights, to the peaceful and quiet enjoyment of our homes, to the safety of our streets, and to a better education for our children. Lessening Downtown's binge drinking will have a positive influence on our City's drug problems, including drugs and truancy at our schools. By calming Downtown's "anything goes" atmosphere, our schools will improve, property values and tax revenues will increase, and visitors will spend more here. Alcohol sales do not cover their related costs for our schools, image, tourism, businesses, public safety, and quality of life. Along with the Chief s suggestions, I recommend these additional measures: 1. A moratorium for new"on-sale" licenses in District 1. A new restaurant could purchase an existing license, and move it if need be. 2. For new ABC licenses, require an operator's license, like Newport, to review transfers. 3. For nearby residential streets, implement late night, resident only parking, forcing bar patrons into garages. 4. Track police calls, incidents, and DUI arrests for ABC licensees for annual public reviews. Permits of uncooperative or repeat offenders should be modified or revoked. 5. Encourage more residential, office, and hotel development. We have too much underused retail. Thank you for considering my views. Downtown residents helped elect our new grass roots Council majority. We desperately need your support for our Downtown neighborhoods. Please do not let us down as past Councils have done. Sincererours, ti /Richardson Gray cc: Fred A. Wilson, City Manager Joan L.

The Police Department will present -commendations concerning alcohol sales and service in owntown Huntington Beach. Ms. Joan Flynn, I wanted to be certain that this letter made it into the public -cord and that a copy was made available to city council iembers. Thank you for your time . James Torres Honorable Mayor and City Council Members, My wife and I have lived in downtown Huntington Beach since 1995. We have owned our home on 5th Street since 1998. We have seen first hand many problems related to Alcohol Abuse in Downtown Huntington Beach. Here are some ideas we can offer to help combat Alcohol Related Problems in Downtown Huntington Beach SUPPL.EMENTAL. 1. Require ID Scanners at all Downtown Liquor Licensed COMMUNICATION Establishments to Combat Underage Drinking. 2. Security Cameras at check in points for all bars and _ Meeft fie'night clubs. a. Information made available to police for those ' attempts at using false ID. AQwxW hem No. 1 9 3. Security Cameras on 5`h St. 4. Empower Parking Enforcement to ticket for open containers/Public intoxication. 5. Empower Parking Enforcement to give warning tickets for suspected DUI. a. By way of asking suspected intoxicated individuals to roll down their window after entering their car or just prior to entering their car and give them a choice to either: i. Have their plate photographed and 911 called or ii. Immediately exit their vehicle and take a cab. 6. Start a Downtown Neighborhood Alcohol Related Citizens Watch/Focus Group to work together with M.A.D.D. for additional effective strategies that can be imported from other cities. Thank you James Torres 313 5' St Huntington Beach, Ca 92648 714-206-2457 z Thv, hongboard P&staurant & pub 217 Main Nrnt Huntington Bvmeh, GO 92649 Pb (714)960-1896 faX(71k)960-8447 Web Ntfz:WWW.lor)gboarclpub.com , City council members and Honorable Mayor, Kenneth W. Police Chief of Police W Downtown Alcohol Recommendations We asked for some help, police activity and security cameras to solve the problems in key areas. We asked to have surveillance cameras and added foot-beat officers' downtown area to stem drug issues, crime and bikes being stolen. U) U The best deterrent to crime in the downtown area is police presence. The presence of"foot—beat officers" is the best way to keep problems from happening. The increased presence of patrol cars driving through area would also be a great addition. Being pro-active and spotting potential problems before they happen in establishments and on the street is the best way to keep our downtown community viable. At least two brawls are now on "You tube" one is 45 minutes long with 20-30 people involved. Many of these fights are people just hanging out and not in the bars & restaurants. We have concern with the 30 minute before closing rule not allowing a patron to enter. Many of the late night customers work downtown and have not had a drink all night. They should be allowed to come in to establishment? So restaurants have a 12:00 closing time 11:30 to one can come into location. 1. If you close at 12:00 someone coming in at 11:30 would not be allowed to have a drink? A signature drink that is double liquor pour? Mandatory Responsible Beverage Service is a good program but it is hard to set up trainings. Every two years is the standard renewal for T.I.P.S and LEADS. We think that is acceptable. We would like to see police department provide quality trainings if you move forward with this program. Some of the trainers just go through the motions to get certificate. Video surveillance in the establishments is very costly. It also may or may not work to the specifications of the police department. I feel before this is installed clarification needs to be made. Restaurant public areas in a Duke's, Aloha, Fred's, are very large public spaces and not all areas are under surveillance.

We want to continue to improve the ambiance and safety of the downtown area. Increase police presence is the most effective deterrence. The new programs are good but we are not sure it solves the problems. Please do not even think of considering changing the C.U.P. provisions by using the entertainment permit to limit hour of businesses. We are a vibrant successful tourist and visitor location closing businesses at 12:00 is not the answer. I am sorry that I am unable to come to meeting today. Hopefully this will help get some more police presence that has been recommended for years but unable to be budgeted. Thank you, Icon McLin The Longboard Restaurant& Pub 217 Main Street,. H.B.
