City of Huntington Beach
File #: 19-756 MEETING DATE: 7/1/2019
Submitted by Councilmember Posey - Request for Detailed Study Session on the City's
Unfunded Capital Project List
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
The City Council recently adopted the Fiscal Year 2019/20 Annual Budget along with the 2019/20
Capital Improvement Program; which identified $50 million in new projects. A Strategic Plan Goal of
the Huntington Beach City Council is to enhance and maintain infrastructure. Additionally, the
Charter specifies that 15% annually be spent on capital projects. The 2019/20 projects will be funded
through a variety of sources: the City's General Fund, Enterprise Funds, Special Revenue Funds,
Grants, and Bonds.
The Public Works Department has communicated to City Council that there are currently $140 million
in deferred projects. I believe that it would be prudent for the City Council to have the opportunity to
have a deeper look into all of the capital projects on Public Works' list that are needed to enhance
and maintain the City's infrastructure; specifically in light of the Police Department's request for a
rehabilitated Police facility. I am not opposed to the PD rehabilitation effort at all - but I would like us
to be able to put it in the larger context of all of our unfunded capital needs so that we can proceed
with that knowledge. As we all know, a well -maintained City is one of the best economic
development tools - well -kept infrastructure (e.g. streets, distribution and collection, systems, parks,
etc.) attract businesses and reduce crime.
Direct the City Manager via the Public Works Director and City Engineer to conduct an in-depth
Study Session within 90 days on the unfunded capital projects that have been identified by the Public
Works Department. This Study Session should include a breakdown of the projects as identified
through a comprehensive analysis by the Public Works Department through Master Plans and other
planning documents (e.g. Sewer Master Plan, Water Master Plan, Facility Needs Assessment, etc.).
This should include the Police Department's facility needs as well.
