Services included in the FY 2019/20 budget to be representative of the services projected to be utilized
by departments in FY 2019/20, as shown in Attachment 3.
A substitute motion was made by Posey, second Brenden to open the Public Hearing on the Proposed
FY 2019/20 City budget appropriation of$381,229,021 as outline in the Proposed Budget document;
adopt Resolution Number 2019-28, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Adopting a Budget for the City for FY 2019/20" as shown on Attachment 2; approve the FY 2019/20
Proposed Budget Table of Organization as shown on Attachment 2, Exhibit D; and, authorize the
Professional Services included in the FY 2019/20 budget to be representative of the services projected to
be utilized by departments in FY 2019/20, as shown in Attachment 3, as amended to defund one
Lieutenant position.
Mayor Pro Tem Semeta expressed her surprise at Councilmember Posey's substitute motion to defund
one Lieutenant Position.
Councilmember Delgleize recalled her understanding of past discussions on Police Department staffing.
Mayor Pro Tem Semeta asked Police Chief Handy to review the Police Department staffing history,
including the commitment to the Police Management Association (PMA) to make best efforts during the
budget process to refill the Lieutenant vacancy created when the new Assistant Chief position was filled.
Chief Handy further stated that it is important for the police officers to have adequate management
oversight, training and leadership, and as shown by the Finance Department in a recent discussion, the
Huntington Beach Police Department is understaffed at the management level when compared to other
like-sized municipalities.
Councilmember Posey explained that he cannot support the process used to reinstate the Lieutenant
position (before the budget process), therefore he is making the substitute motion to now remove the
Lieutenant position.
Councilmember Carr explained her opinion that adding to management positions at a time when all
departments were asked to reduce their budgets by one percent (1%), and not make any increases for
the rank and file, is her reason for supporting the substitute motion.
Mayor Peterson stated his opposition to the substitute motion, especially since during the entire process
to create and fill the Assistant Chief position it was made clear that rank and file positions cannot be
expanded until a Lieutenant position is refilled, and both rank and file and management are currently
understaffed.
Councilmember Hardy explained her opinion that when the current ceiling for police officers is met, then
it would be appropriate to propose another Lieutenant position with additional police officers.
The substitute motion by Posey, seconded by Brenden, carried by the following vote:
