(City Council) Environmental Symposium (120.10)
Communication from Councilmember Bauer regarding the matter of an Environmental
Symposium being scheduled for September 9, 1999 by the Mayor without City Council
approval. It is anticipated that well over four hours of staff time will be required to
support this symposium. City Council policy requires approval by the City Council of
such an activity.
Recommended Action: Motion to:
Since the city staff is already over -committed and since we have many environmental
groups in the city, I move that no more staff time be devoted to an Environmental
Symposium, and that the Mayor solicit the city's environmental groups for volunteers to
carry out the functions described in the Mayor's memo dated 4/14/99.

Huntington Beach to receive $900,000 grant from the Orange
County Sanitation District for repair of Downtown sewers
The City of Huntington Beach is receiving a $900,000 grant from the Orange
County Sanitation District to match its $900,000 General Fund Reserve appropriation to
repair Downtown sewers.
The matching grant awarded the City of Huntington Beach on May 26, 1999 by
the Orange County Sanitation District's Board will enable the Public Works Department
to approximately double the scope of the originally -intended project to refurbish aging
sewers in the Downtown. The project area runs from Goldenwest Street south to Lake
Street, and from Pacific Coast Highway inland to Palm Street.
The $1.8 million project will utilize "sliplining" to rehabilitate these sewer. mains,
which are deep underground and lie within 15-20 foot wide alleys, limiting typical
construction methods and access for oversized vehicles.
"The, matching grant from the Orange County Sanitation District will go far in our
goal of maintaining a healthy infrastructure in Huntington Beach," Mayor Peter Green
said.
"The `sliplining' process for the aging mains will be a cost-effective, speedy
process that will benefit the City," explained Robert F. Beardsley, Director of Public
Works.
"Other project benefits include bringing these defective sewer mains into
compliance with current engineering standards and permitting the city to resume normal
cleaning which serves to reduce grease and debris loads in City and District facilities."
On June 7, 1999, the Huntington Beach.City Council will approve final
plans and specifications for the project, including the process of awarding a contract to
the lowest responsive and responsible bidder to complete the Downtown sewer
rehabilitation project.
