The facts are its the new word being used for homeless shelters and money maker for whoever is running the place. As well as the fact is the city of HB already wasted over 2 million dollars on a building that can't be used for this whole concept. Stop wasting HB's money on this scam. We all know that its possible to remove those that need to be if there is a hazard of any kind. The San Fernando Valley just proved that with the fact they were removing a homeless encampment in the Sepulveda Basin because it was a hazard in many ways. We have areas here that could be labeled as health hazards when they set up encampments in the parks, wetlands or the beach. As well as around alleyways or businesses. In the case of places like the parks it could also be labeled as a fire hazard with having them there. The fire that happened in the Sepulveda Basin is a perfect example of that and the fact that it has happened in a park here Do we want to see something like that happen again?When you have our own city homeless task force saying most do not want help or a shelter to go to then what? You shove them off to another part of town?The next city over to deal with? How does this fix anything? Instead why are we not letting the Boise case be handled first? You approved our CA to join the fight on allowing these bums to set up camp wherever so why not let that happen? In the meantime, get rid of part of the problem, the sober living homes that are not helping the problem. Deal with those breaking laws each time they do. Go after the ones camping out in the parks and in RVs that are full of bikes and bike parts. You know they are NOT those people's bikes but stolen ones so deal with it! Handle the ones that are threats to the residents here! We all know the ones that want the help will get it but the numbers are small on those that do and the "Navigation" scam is not going to change that or help. It will bring more to the area you try to set it up in and make things worse for those dealing with the homeless already causing havoc.What most homeless need are mental hospitals and legit rehabs. This is what should be fought for. Not a money making business like a "Navigation Center".

SUPPLEMENTAL COMMUNICATION MeWng Dane: ' 0 7- o / Apnds ftem Nm, 7 /7 Estanislau, Robin From: Gino J. Bruno <gbruno@socal.rr.com> Sent: Thursday, October 03, 2019 9:42 PM To: CITY COUNCIL; Agenda Comment Cc: Chi, Oliver; Hopkins, Travis; Gates, Michael; Fritzal, Kellee; Fikes, Cathy; CITY COUNCIL Subject: Agenda Item No 17 - Sale of Pipeline Lane AGENDA COMMENT Mayor and Council members: The City wants to sell the Pipeline Lane property without letting the residents see the terms and conditions of the deal. As you recall, on April 18, 2019 the majority of the City Council authorized the purchase of the Pipeline Lane property to use it as a Navigation Center, authorizing $2.85 million for its cost. So the City bought the property, after which the City looked at the recorded title documents and found it could not be used for a homeless shelter (some little issue about a violation of recorded CC&Rs, or something —who cares, right?) A lawsuit was filed against the City, and so the City ended up buying a White Elephant that it can't use. This Monday night the City Council is being asked to write a blank check to our new City Manager to negotiate any deal he wants to sell the property, and he will have full right and authority to "execute any and all documents related to the sale of 15311 Pipeline Lane, Huntington Beach, CA, and reimburse funds accordingly." No further City Council approval would be needed. The terms, covenants and conditions of the deal will not come back to the City Council for public review, scrutiny or question. The public will not get to see the deal until after it's put to bed, escrow is closed, funds are distributed, and City government can smile -then, only by a CPRA request, will the residents get to see what the City did. How transparent is that? Authorize somebody to do a deal behind closed doors, and sign all the paperwork! "Authorize City Manager to Sign Documents Required For the Sale of Pipeline Lane Property." Please don't let this happen. The residents (including the voters) are entitled to see what our City does with its assets, BEFORE it does it.
