The 9/80 work schedule is designed to be in compliance with the requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

The FLSA workweek for each employee on a 9/80 schedule shall begin and end four (4) hours into that employee's regularly scheduled shift on the day of the week that the employee alternatively works an eight (8) hour shift and takes off. For example, employees on a 9/80 schedule who are assigned to the Civic Center shall have an FLSA workweek that starts and ends four(4) hours into the employee's regularly scheduled shift each Friday, as these employees may only have 9/80 schedules that provide for alternating Fridays off with working eight (8) hour days on Fridays.

B. Two (2) Week Pay Period — The pay period for employees starts Friday mid-shift (P.M.) and continues for fourteen (14)days until Friday mid-shift (A.M.). During this period, each week is made up of four(4) nine (9) hour workdays totaling (thirty-six (36) hours) and one (1) four (4) hour Friday and those hours equal forty (40) work hours in each workweek (e.g. the Friday is split into four (4) hours for the A.M. shift, which is charged to workweek one and four (4) hours for the P.M. shift, which is charged to workweek two). C. A/B Schedules—To continue to provide service to the public every Friday, employees on a 9/80 schedule assigned to the Civic Center, are to be divided between two schedules, known as the "A" schedule and the "B" schedule, based upon the departmental needs. For identification purposes, the "A" schedule shall be known as the schedule with a day off on the Friday in the middle of the pay period, or, "off on payday", the "B" schedule shall have the first Friday (P.M.) and the last Friday (A.M.) off, or "working on payday."

Purpose The purpose of the voluntary catastrophic leave donation program is to bridge employees who have been approved leave time to either; return to work, long-term disability, or medical retirement. Permanent employees who accrue vacation, general leave or compensatory time may donate such leave to another permanent employee when a catastrophic illness or injury befalls that employee or because the employee is needed to care for a seriously ill family member. The leave-sharing Leave Donation Program is Citywide across all departments and is intended to provide an additional benefit. Nothing in this program is intended to change current policy and practice for use and/or accrual of vacation, general, or sick leave. 2. Definitions Catastrophic Illness or Injury - A serious debilitating illness or injury, which incapacitates the employee or an employee's family member. Family Member - For the purposes of this policy, the definition of family member is that defined in the Family Medical Leave Act (child, parent, spouse or domestic partner). 3. Eligible Leave Accrued compensatory time off, vacation or general leave hours may be donated. The minimum donation an employee may make is two (2) hours and the maximum is forty (40) hours. 4. Eligibility Permanent employees who accrue vacation or general leave may donate such hours to eligible recipients. Compensatory time off accrued may also be donated. An eligible recipient is an employee who: • Accrues vacation or general leave; • Is not receiving disability benefits or Workers' Compensation payments; and • Requests donated leave. 5. Transfer of Leave The maximum donation credited to a recipient's leave account shall be the amount necessary to ensure continuation of the employee's regular salary during the employee's period of approved catastrophic leave. Donations will be voluntary, confidential and irrevocable. Hours donated will be converted into a dollar amount based on the hourly wage of the donor. The dollar amount will then be converted into accrued hours based on the recipient's hourly wage. An employee needing leave will complete a Leave Donation Request Form and submit it to the Department Director for approval. The Department Director will forward the form to Human Resources for processing. Human Resources, working with the department, will send out the request for leave donations.

I also know that on the agenda is the subject of pay raises for city employees. With the current national and international COVID 19crisis ( as well as Huntington Beach being featured on CNN regarding the beach crowding) i feel that it is inappropriate to even discuss this matter about pay raises for city employees. Shouldn't the topics be how will HB be able to revive its own economy? With many businesses closed and several more going out of business shouldn't we look at how Huntington as a community needs to help itself rise up and strengthen itself? We as city will be tuning in tonight to see how this matter will be addressed.

We do recognize that the timing of this Council Action is very unfortunate in light of the Coronavirus pandemic and the tremendous impact the Stay Home orders are having on the local and national economy. Our members are not immune to effects of the Stay Home orders. We have spouses, significant others, and family members who are suddenly out of work; we have children out of school. We have mortgages, rent, and utility bills. Many of our members,myself included, are proud to live here and call HB our home as well as our workplace and it is demoralizing to be disparaged by our fellow citizens. Our members recognize the importance of providing essential services to our community. We continue to provide excellent service to our citizens in much the same way that we did prior to the Stay Home order, and many of us have taken on new duties and challenges to help our city through this crisis as One HB. Please keep in mind as you consider this item tonight that our contract expired on October 31, 2019. We began negotiations in August of 2019, and under typical circumstances,you would have been voting on this agreement in October or November of last year. We believe that the terms of this agreement are very reasonable. Our members are giving an additional 1%for PERS contributions and will receive a net 2.5%wage increase - our first cost of living increase since 2016. Thank you for your time in reading this message and thank you in advance for your reasonable consideration.

Having these items on.the agenda as it is,appears incredibly tone deaf to the plight facing so many of HB's residents,families and businesses. There are so many moving pieces to this event,it's not possible to predict how this plays out,aside opinions and of course hope. But the reality is many small businesses won't be able to come back,jobs will not spring back in the same way and the revenues to pay for the bills as they are,won't be the same. Please send the right message tonight,otherwise it'll be a unneeded distraction for months to come.Please table these 3 items.The works is not the same when these items were negotiated,and it won't be the same when we eventually recover.And to be honest,considering the backdrop and events surrounding us,if anything should be negotiated,it probably should be the participation in$$reductions in order to keep the city solvent and help keep jobs that could be at risk.

Oliver Chi makes over$20,000 a month and is asking for a raise when families cannot even find eggs, milk,or bread in grocery stores?! And those are the"lucky ones"that still have money to shop.We have so many people out of jobs right now with NO INCOME.Single mothers that cannot even leave their house to grocery shop in fear of catching a virus and potentially leaving their children orphaned.They do not have any help and they certainly do not make$20,000 a month.They've resorted to reaching out to strangers to ask them to deliver food to their porches. I could go on and on with the devastating examples I've seen posted by residents on social media. This is the REALITY we are living in.Business owners having to shut down their businesses and apply for government assistance yet our city manager&others are asking for a raise?Its despicable and down right DISGUSTING.It is absolutely SHAMEFUL and LOWER THAN LOW.Please put those items in the trash where they belong.Huntington Beach deserves so much better than this.

The fact I even have to spend 1 minute of my time on this is mind boggling. I know others have already made a case for removing or voting down April 6, 2020 Agenda items 9-10-11. What frightens me is at least 4 of you have not. There is no way Oliver,Chi brings this to Council without knowing in advance there are minimally 4 Council Member votes in favor of this. Why..is the question. The people in this city are not idiots WE can all see what is going on here and honestly I won't even blame the unions for trying to push it. What I am dumbfounded by is the majority of you have not pushed back. I have been negotiating the purchase of a new car, for several months and came to an agreement March 2. The salesman deserves the commission.Am I to go ahead with the purchase even though my business is closed down and I have no idea if in 6 months I'll still be able to make the payments?What past commitments will I have to renege on to honor a new one? I won't even go into how incredibly insensitive this is to a struggling community. The lack of fiscal responsibility shown here is beyond comprehension. This is a defining moment for all of you.

My email today is regarding several items that have been added to the Agenda(Items#9, 10 &11)for todays closed City Council Meeting, where public comments are not present because of the social distancing and Stay at Home Order put on by the Governor. I believe my opinion will echo the majority of the community and what you all will be voting on today. I find it incredibly irresponsible and opportunistic for City Council to approve these items, items that give you all a raise, while the rest of YOUR community are struggling to figure out where their next meal or paycheck may be coming from. You all are choosing yourselves and your well being over the 200,000 plus residents in the community you all serve. With over 6.6 million Americans unemployed, out of work and struggling to keep their households afloat, you are choosing to give yourselves a pay raise?What kind of sadistic practices have you all been accustomed to?This city has seen many types of corruption throughout the years, but this level of unscrupulousness is unforgivable. While these items were"promised"months ago, it would be wise for the council to recognize the pandemic of the Covid-19 virus and the effects it is having on your local residents. I notice not only city council members but also past council members, who have committed fraud through the community in particular,not recognizing the mandated social distancing. With the extra time at home, I have been able to see and record several meetings from the front door of my house of get togethers, meetings and hand shakes that have been going back and forth with these past and present council members. I have always been weary of the standards at City Hall since my initial meeting with then Mayor Michael Posey, but this really brings it all together. Knowing that individuals with little power in life and liberty, are continuing to work the system during a crisis is pure scandal and abominable. Individuals who are avaricious, money grubbing and predatory during a time they think they will be able to get away with it. Taking advantage of the people during crisis, thinking that there aren't the watchful eyes of several loud and educated individuals and groups of the community.Not only will this email and Agenda be sent to the local newspapers, but also ones of national news. With everyone, including media, recognizing the Stay-At-Home Order,people will have much time on their hands to be able to read an email with the Subject Line: HUNTINGTON BEACH CITY OFFICIALS RECEIVING RAISE DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC. I'm sure I will get a couple reads. I hope you all reconsider and find the humanity in yourselves to forgo a pay raise during this time of unknowns and the negative impact it will have on your community, as well as your reputations. Thank you and I hope you all stay healthy and safe. Please stop the meetings at Mr. Garafolo's house,for everyones safety.

Due to the unprecedented circumstances all Huntington Beach residents are facing, I find it shocking and insulting that the city is voting on pay increases. Millions of Californians have lost their jobs and filed for unemployment, and Huntington Beach locals are struggling to pay rent and make ends meet while finding ways to provide for their families. Due to the COVID- 19 pandemic I request that all votes for pay raises are tabled to a later date and city funds are used to help out the working class families that make Huntington Beach great(for example, passing an eviction moratorium like other nearby cities), Do not let working class residents slip through the cracks at a time when we all need real leadership, not greed.

Please do not let this current crisis which minimizes individual's ability to make their public comments in person, allow these negotiations to have been in vain.

In the midst of the biggest health and economic crisis of the century, it is beyond comprehension that you would choose to raise employee salaries at this time. As a former public school administrator, it was necessary to constantly monitor priorities and commitments in order to align them with their impact on students and ALL stakeholders. Effective communication and understanding was always a challenge but changes needed to be made for the greater good. You now have an opportunity to demonstrate your empathy and concern for your constituents by postponing these decisions. No one can escape the impact of this pandemic on their personal and financial lives- in some cases, as inconveniences, and in other cases, as life-threatening problems.Accordingly, businesses and services of EVERY type (some voluntarily and others by force) have conceded to adapt their strategies to support their clientele and the greater good. Airlines are providing vouchers; retail stores are extending their return deadlines; grocery stores are changing their hours; non-essential small businesses are laying off their employees and closing down.And Huntington Beach City Council members are planning to approve a raise to already highly-paid and pensioned city employees??? How can that be? Like most people in our country and the world, I have postponed all of my significant future plans until the dangers of Covid-19 are in our past and we can re- assess the needs and priorities for the short and long-term future.With the leading authorities of science and the economy spouting such diverse predictions and publicly disagreeing on the terms and outcomes of this, how is it that you, members of the Huntington Beach City Council, believe that you know enough to make such a far-reaching decision at this time. Please share your wisdom. You are dealing with two main possibilities-one, postponing city employee raises and restoring some faith and confidence of tens or hundreds of thousands of voting and tax-paying residents and temporarily angering the non-empathetic employees, or-two, proceeding with the raises and achieving the opposite: placating approximately 1000 employees (none of whom will work on behalf of the city any more effectively, according to research)and angering tens or hundreds of thousands of your community. The choice is yours. Please make it wisely.

Dear Mayor and City Council, I'm writing this email to oppose items 9, 10, and 11 on the agenda tonight. I cannot believe that this is even being considered right now. Quite frankly its a slap in the face to all Huntington Beach residents. Let's get this straight... Oliver Chi makes over$20,000 a month and is asking for a raise when families cannot even find eggs, milk, or bread in grocery stores?!And those are the"lucky ones"that still have money to shop. We have so many people out of jobs right now with NO INCOME. Single mothers that cannot even leave their house to grocery shop in fear of catching a virus and potentially leaving their children orphaned. They do not have any help and they certainly do not make $20,000 a month. They've resorted to reaching out to strangers to ask them to deliver food to their porches. I could go on and on with the devastating examples I've seen posted by residents on social media. This is the REALITY we are living in. Business owners having to shut down their businesses and apply for government assistance yet our city manager&others are asking for a raise? Its despicable and down right DISGUSTING. It is absolutely SHAMEFUL and LOWER THAN LOW. Please put those items in the trash where they belong. Huntington Beach deserves so much better than this. If you can't have empathy for what is going on right now, you are in the wrong line of work.

Financial impact report of COVID-19 Councilmembers: Has the City Manager explained to you to your satisfaction, and to the public, specifically what the impact of COVID-19 will have on our budget? In my view, instead of putting pay raises on the Agenda right now, Mr. Chi should have followed the lead of the City of Laguna Beach. There, this Tuesday (April 7th), the city manager will present to the City Council a full report on the estimated impact of COVID-19 on city revenue, and his recommendations for budget modifications to meet that impact. They are specific (rather than just saying that Laguna Beach is in good financial shape), and the,City Manager projects that between-now and June 30th, he expects to see a decrease in revenue of roughly $12M, with General Fund losses of$6M, TOT down $3.5M, sales tax revenues down $1.3M and community development fees down roughly $1.2M. [See, https://Iagunabeachcity.granicus.com/MetaViewer.phhp? view id=3&event id=824&meta id=83534] Shouldn't Mr. Chi be bringing to the City Council . . . and to the public . . . a similar report, instead of requesting pay raises right now? Between now and the end of the current fiscal year: • How much will our overall revenues be down? • How much will our General Fund declines be? • How much will our TOT be down? • How much will our sales taxes be down? • What are the specific sources of funds (by Fund Numbers) we are going to use to pay the extraordinary CaIPERS hit(estimated to be between $4M and $5.5M this year)? • Should our Adopted Budget be modified, and if so, how?

Single mothers that cannot even leave their house to grocery shop in fear of catching a virus and potentially leaving their children orphaned.They do not have any help and they certainly do not make$20,000 a month.They've resorted to reaching out to strangers to ask them to deliver food to their porches. I could go on and on with the devastating examples I've seen posted by residents on social media. This is the REALITY we are living in.Business owners having to shut down their businesses and apply for government assistance yet our city manager&others are asking for a raise?Its despicable and down right DISGUSTING.It is absolutely SHAMEFUL and LOWER THAN LOW.Please put those items in the trash where they belong.Huntington Beach deserves so much better than this.

At this time I believe would be fiscally irresponsible to continue with the contract negotiations and the raise in wages being discussed. With the current economic state of our City, State, Country and the world, it seems unbelievable that our city council would not have already put these negotiations on hold until we all see how we are effected financially as both citizens and a community. None of us have any idea how this is going to effect us in the long run and personally,having just retired a few months ago, I'm extremely concerned how this has effected my retirement investments and therefore income. In my opinion,the only topic that would be responsible in this regard for tonight's meeting would be a vote to put this all on hold until we know where we'll be in the months ahead. The income from tourism alone the city,has, and will lose, over the past few weeks and upcoming months I can only imagine will be in the millions, and to ask the citizens of Huntington Beach to cover the costs of a wage increase for city employees is not only irresponsible but a slap in,the face to the rest of us. I grew up here and have lived here for almost 55 years as has my husband. We have become extremely concerned over the decisions the council has made over the past number of years that have effected our city in a negative way,but this is well above being irresponsible. To have this discussion and vote at a council meeting without the public being able to attend and have their opinion heard seems underhanded. It appears this is being done"behind closed doors" and being snuck by the people who should have a say in this. Again,I appose all three of these items and would ask that they be tabled until which time we know where the city and those of us that live here end up when this has passed.

I'm at a loss for words honestly... These past few weeks I've been disappointed in our city's non action to the Corona Virus and how its effecting our city. It appears rather than planning for what our city needs going forward or ways to help our citizens, schools, business's, and even homeless population you've been busy negotiating union contracts. I just can't understand why this is not being postponed a few months and focus on our current dire situation. While our citizens have lost their jobs and are not sure how they will pay rent,mortgage or feed their children, or our business owners struggle to stay open and some closing their business for good. Our city should be planning ahead on how this will effect the city as a whole, financially.. Isn't there someone that always says we need to be "Forward Thinkers"?? Well I have yet to see our city be Forward Thinkers during this crisis. I'm so disappointed. So hopefully Mayor and Council Members you will correct the misdirection our City Manager has been taking the past couple weeks,table or vote no on Items 9,10 and 11 and direct him/them to start planning for how we come out of this crisis.

These highly-paid-union employees are not hurting in the least. They come to the table every year expecting a huge pay increase. We,let them wait. What are you doing for the residents that have lost their employment or the business's that have had to close or are you going to let the Federal Government take care of them? This is so irresponsible for the City Manager and the Council to even consider pay increases at this time, for anybody, when you have no idea what the financial implications will be until after the crisis has run its course. The prudent action is to wait,-until after the dust settles and the air is clear. Please consider removing items 9, 10, 11 from the Agenda, for now, and address them at a later date.

I also know that on the agenda is the subject of pay raises for city employees. With the current national and international crisis ( as well as Huntington Beach being featured on CNN regarding the beach crowding) i feel that it is inappropriate to even discuss this matter about pay raises for city employees. Shouldn't the topics be how will HB be able to revive its own economy?With many businesses closed and several more going out of business shouldn't we look at how Huntington as a community needs to help itself rise up and strengthen itself?We as city will be tuning in tonight to see how this matter will be addressed.

Cc: Fikes.Cathy; CITY COUNCIL Subject: April 6,2020 City Council/Public Financing Authority Meeting Agenda Date: Monday,April 6,2020 11:37:15 AM AGENDA COMMENT Dear Mayor Semeta,Mayor ProTem Hardy,and Councilmembers Brenden,Carr,Delgleize,Peterson,and Posey, It is likely that you are now tired of the phrase"We find ourselves in unusual circumstances." Well,I will give you one more unusual circumstance and I hope that it at least brings a smile to each of your faces. I count almost all of you as a friend to whom I can express my opinion(aka vent)about the good and bad that is happening in Huntington Beach. I don't write letters;I pick up the phone. Today is that unusual circumstance for you and for me. To begin,I am exceptionally dismayed that the current plan is to limit public participation to written comments received by 2:00 PM April 6,2020. 1 understand that this is an attempt to respect N-29-20,but families,businesses and education institutions are using Zoom,Skype, Face Time,and telephones to communicate. Why can't the City of Huntington Beach set up sometime similar?? We could even set up a microphone and a camera in the patio area of City Hall,couldn't we?? My other major concern is Administrative Items 9, 10,and 11,the introduction of a proposed memorandum of understanding for three different employee bargaining groups. I beseech you,in light of the unexpected and critical economic changes to our City's budget,to postpone these items until a later date. Almost all of us are making unforeseen and often drastic changes in our lives. The younger children's Little League and Softball seasons have been cancelled. CIF has cancelled all of the Spring Season. High school seniors left school in March never expecting that their on campus experience was over and that they would not have a Prom,not have a Senior Breakfast,and most likely,not have an in person Graduation. Older couples are postponing 50th Wedding Anniversary celebrations with their families and friends and are quarantining alone. That said,we are witnessing an amazing spirit of cooperation in our communities. People are helping others who might need food, supplies,medicine,or a virtual shoulder to cry on.People are supporting the local businesses that remain open and business owners are doing all that they can to survive and to take care of their employees. All things considered, it is not unreasonable to ask our city employees to recognize that a short postponement of the increase in their wages and benefits is the right thing to do to show support for their friends,their neighbors,and their community, Thank you for your attention and,as always,thank you for all of your efforts on behalf of the residents of Huntington Beach.

Let me remind you of a couple of facts: In the last month there have been 1.9 million unemployment claims filed in California. In the last month there have been 6.6 million unemployment claims filed in the US. Now...after grasping that...can you please explain what reasonable, compassionate government employee that is currently sustained with a nice, fat, tax payer funded paycheck and cushy government benefits would consider asking for a pay increase at this time? I could go on and on about selfishness and lack of awareness and reiterate some of the things others have written to you about, but I need to move on to other activities that take my mind off of this outrageous issue so I can curb my anger during my self isolation. Your constituents, the ones that count on you to do the right thing, are suffering. Every day there are pleas coming from your community. Seniors, disabled and imuno compromised people do not know how or where to shop safely. People don't know how or where to exercise. People don't understand why 99.9%of our population is expected to stay indoors, wear masks, etc., all while the homeless population continues to be allowed to spread God knows what while leading their unregulated lives totally unfettered. Neighbors are yelling at and deriding neighbors for the sin of stepping outside their front door. In short, our community and our world is falling apart. And you want us to give raises to city employees? Really? This is part of a heartless and tone deaf response one of our community members received from a city council member: "Is now really the time to break a deal that the council promised months ago?" Short answer: YES!!! If there was a time.THIS is !t! I won't even start on why a "deal" was promised.months ago without input from the community.

I for one am totally against this at this time as the city has many and I mean many family's that are not working at all. No money for rent,utilities or food. What kind of message does this relay to them that only a few here important and that that kind of money could be spent on family aid. I feel that this item can be delayed until we get out of this medical emergence and see where we as a community stands budget wise. So this is a NO vote on our family's part.

I am also a homeowner in Huntington Beach. I still need to pay my bills property tax,mortgage, utilities, food, and car expenses. I need to balance my budget. To do so, I need to make painful cuts and a city should be no different. I do not believe this is the time to approve pay raises as much as the hard-working city employees may deserve them. Layoffs, from personal experience, are not pleasant and should be implemented as a last resort but, given the choice of pay freeze or a layoff. I would think the unions would accept a freeze in wages. We have so many people in Huntington Beach that are not working or businesses closed or have reduced hours and we don't know how long this unprecedented event will drag on. Have compassion for your fellow citizens that are in distress. We have put our trust in you and voted you in office,please do the right thing and revisit agenda items 8,9 & 10 when the city will be in a better financial position.

Importance: High I did not write this letter myself, but it explains my feelings to the tee!This is NOT THE TIME to be doing any of this when so many of our lives are totally upside down!! Dear Mayor Semeta, Council Members and Mr.Chi, I am writing to oppose Agenda Items 9, 10 and 11. Honestly, I am struggling with a way to start this email. You have seen me at council meetings many times over the past several months. I've written many emails. But this is very, very different. We are in scary and difficult times. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say we are possibly facing the worst recession any of us have ever lived through (and I've survived two BIG recessions). In my immediate circle of family, friends, and neighbors I can point to people who have lost jobs, businesses hurting to the point they may never recover.... I fear every day that this COVID19 situation continues we are looking at exponentially larger and larger devastation. I was in utter disbelief when I saw the agenda for the upcoming council meeting. I thought surely there must be some mistake. Who on EARTH would be seeking raises or ANY contract provisions during this crisis? Meanwhile, news reports are trickling in reporting on cities that are looking at layoffs and other cutbacks as they prepare for the impending reality we will be dealing with in the weeks ahead. You may have seen the recent articles about Santa Barbara and Pasadena, and I'm sure we will see many more very soon: Even more alarming, a few days ago I heard an interview with a CEO of a leading national hotel who said he's cut 95% of his 7•,000 employees and that this crisis will take MUCH LONGER to recover than either 9/11 or the financial crisis that took 5 & 8 years respectively....I can't even begin to imagine the impact this will have on our TOT. At this point, I still have a job (thank God!), but my 401 K that finally got"whole" after 12 years has tanked again. Last week I listened to a few council members making impassioned arguments for the city to offer added support/enforcement to protect renters from eviction. Why?? Out of concern for the vast number of HB residents who will be in danger of losing their housing due to lost jobs and income. Contrast the situation facing our residents with the fact that EVERY SINGLE CITY EMPLOYEE still has a job, guaranteed pay, and stable pension. No city employee is at risk of losing their house, the ability to put food on the table or losing their entire financial net worth. Wouldn't it be wise to put all contract actions"on ice"for at least a year until we assess the revenue losses? These are unchartered waters and we simply cannot proceed "business as usual". I understand that these MOU's have been in the works and represent likely weeks/months of negotiations. But just like the robust economy we were all enjoying....all bets were off the day this crisis shut down all business in our city and state. I would suggest to you that the best outcome we can even expect would be to hold on to current employees and avoid layoffs, but we must be open to this possibility as well. The bottom line is that NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR RAISES OR CONTRACT COMMITMENTS. The citizens are 100% dependent on you, the council and management, for fiscal responsibility. Under the best of circumstances I could appreciate a robust debate on this subject....but right now IS NOT THE TIME!At this point, I BEG: PLEASE DO NOT MOVE FORWARD with these MOUs.

Private sector are being laid off or taking pay cuts. The city asset portfolio has to be taking a huge hit due to lost tax dollars from the empty hotel rooms and city owned properties that were rightfully given rent abatement not to mention the stock market. This is beyond irresponsible of Mr. Chi!! This is irresponsible, insensitive and it is fiscally irresponsible for raises to be given when the tax paying citizens of Huntington Beach are in the middle of this crisis. It will be at best months before our community rebounds from this. And Many city employees are already sitting at home getting paid during this crisis and raises should not be approved.

No one appreciates the hard work of our city employees, especially our First Responders than I. However, with 100's, perhaps even 1000's of HB residents out of work and struggling with this current crisis, granting a raise to anyone seems poorly timed. City revenues are down due to rent moratoriums, suspension of street sweeping enforcement, and closure of city parking lots putting even further stress on our city's financials. So i do NOT support the recommended action. I STRONGLY-support the alternate action "Do not approve the introduction of the proposed successor MOU" until such time that the current crisis has passed and we better understand the true financial impact COVID-19 has had on our city.

NO OTHER public union nor the Fire Apartment did this they gave a Thumbs Up to who they supported NOT HIT MAILERS. Now I do realize that some on our council take their Marching Orders from the POA and at the city council meetings they make that clear. One thing you should remember the Police Union has only 300 some employees(of which only a small number reside in our community)while our community is 200,000 strong and our voice is Louder and Stronger and we are the people casting the votes. So when you decide on this matter Remember who actually made the votes to elect you.All the city council have this seat for a short time and the memory and Your Legacy will last far longer than your stay on the council.

This is beyond irresponsible of Mr. Chill This is irresponsible, insensitive and it is fiscally irresponsible for raises to be given when the tax paying citizens of Huntington Beach are in the middle of this crisis. It will be at best months before our community rebounds from this. And Many city employees are already sitting at home getting paid during this crisis and raises should not be approved.

I read where a city council member was proud of the city workers because they were working and doing things outside of their normal job so they deserved this,REALLY!!! The private sector workers have ALWAYS done tasks outside their normal job description, it is called being a good employee,not a lazy one. The private sector would love to just have a job and get a paycheck,we are not all wanting a raise, we just want a job. I cannot believer how selfish and self centered this is at this point in time. While we all are trying to figure out how to make it through the week,you all are thinking it it OK to give raises. I have never felt so betrayed by the city,the city manager and the city council for even remotely thinking this is the time for this. And then to add insult to injury,you betray us even further by not allowing public comment.

Yes, city employees do great job and as with most businesses deserve a raise, but with most of HB Businesses closed now, thousands of citizens out of jobs/work and the future certainly unknown at this moment, I am asking you to hold these agenda items for a later date. If there is one way to get a large portion, if not the majority of the Huntington Beach residents to question any and all decisions you make in the future is if you hand out money to the city employees at this time.

Now is not the time to consider raises for anyone, and it further shows just how much our council and city manager is out of touch and flat out does not care about us. We have some council members clearly in the unions' pockets, and this is disgusting and corrupt. When the rest of our country is dealing with huge economical losses, and we don't know when it will recover, what does our council do? They want to give raises! How utterly irresponsible! So many of your constituents have lost their jobs, businesses have severely cut their hours, and many have lost tremendous income due to the COVID-19 quarantine. People and businesses are suffering, which is absolutely going to affect our city's bottom line. I love our police officers, firefighters, and city workers, but at least they have jobs. It is heartbreaking to speak to clients on a daily basis, who are having to decide which bills they are going to be able to pay this month, because they were suddenly fired, their business was forced to close, or their business has been severely reduced. We have no idea when this will end, and what the total impact is going to be on our city. I drove down Main Street the other evening, and what would have normally been a street full of people, spending money at all of our restaurants and shops, it was a ghost town, as it should be. All of our businesses, all over the city, are losing money and our city is losing a lot tax revenue. These agenda items absolutely need public input, where the citizens can speak in person, not via email. This is the worst timing, when we can't have our normal council meetings with public comments. These agenda items need to be postponed. Yes, our employees may deserve raises, but not now. Considering raises need to wait until this emergency is over and we have a clear picture of the financial impact this has created. I'm sure many of the people who have been gravely affected by this had promises of jobs, raises, etc. Everything has changed, and any promise of raises must change as well. And how can raises be promised if they must first be approved by the council? This smells of more corruption, but that's for another discussion. Apparently one councilmember claims we have a surplus, we are in the black. I find this laughable because we never have the money to take care of our roads, we have a huge unfunded liability bill, and the list goes on. You were elected to work for all of the residents's best interests, not the unions and special interests who got you elected. Now is the time to do the right thing, the responsible thing, for the residents and businesses of HB, which is what you are supposed to be doing.

Private sector employees have already been notified that they are either going to be furloughed or losing their merit increases (that were already granted). I'm speaking from experience based on local orange county companies. There is no reason the city of Huntington Beach should think that they are somehow immune from the financial impact of the pandemic. I have read comments on social media that government employees are working significant overtime and adjusting their schedules to accommodate for the pandemic I can assure you anyone who continues to work during this era is doing the same and has a mindset of being thankful for continued employment-city of Huntington Beach employees should have that same mindset of gratitude not entitlement.

Writing this email has proved to be a challenge to me. In fact, writing emails to this city council has been difficult. What I thought were easy, common sense decisions apparently aren't to some of you. Let's recap the tough decisions you have had to make: 1. Approving a zoning ordinance which would streamline the development of medium density housing NEXT TO A DECADES OLD TOXIC WASTE SITE. 2. Spending $66,000 for a feasibility study to determine the possibility of our city entering into the energy business, when, if you are really honest with yourselves you knew that the feasibility study would say--"Spend $8 to $10 million dollars to save a possible 2%. By the way, I'll bet you'd like that money back now. 3. And now--The Granddaddy Of All Tough Decisions. You are asked to approve salary increases in the amount of 3.5% to 4% to the majority of city employees during what may eventually turn out to be the greatest health emergency and the second greatest economic disaster in American history. But, March Forward! After all, it has been negotiated. We can't turn back now. Never mind that the city is hemorrhaging income. Each of you should call the car dealers on Beach Blvd. and ask them how sales are doing. Call the hotels. How's their business? Ask the restaurants. How's that take-out business without the alcohol sales? It doesn't take a clairvoyant to see the decrease in sales or TOT revenues that will be coming. Oh, but this is just a temporary blip. Things will be back to normal in no timel Really? Is this what you're hearing? This could easily carry into the summer. You know--like July 4th. It's a good thing our city doesn't have any traditional celebrations on that day. Otherwise that would be another lost opportunity for increased sales tax revenue. I am utterly amazed at the tone-deaf way our staff and some of you approach things. I just did a Google search of"how bad could things get" which produced page after page of links to articles with some eye-opening predictions as to "how bad could things get". Let's just say the predictions are not encouraging. But, March Forward! Unemployment is skyrocketing. How can those laid off look for work when they are told not to leave their houses except for essentials? And to apply where? Thousands of businesses are closed. Later, we'll find some will have been closed permanently. But, March Forward! The stock market has lost trillions in valuation (roughly 25%). And there is no end in sight. Will the markets recover? Probably. But until they do many seniors like me will have to tighten our belts and live on less income. Less--not 3.5 to 4 percent more! LESS! Do you understand the concept of less? No, I don't think you do. But, March Forwardl We still haven't seen the effect of this crisis on housing valuations. It could be that those are the next to be affected. After all, who's going to be buying houses with 8-1 Q% unemployment? So, a traditional approach for seniors to sell their houses and downsize their expenses won't be available. Unless they want to sell at a loss. But, March Forward! I have heard from one of you that you sometimes think my tone comes across as"too personal". Well, this IS personal and has affected me deeply and personally in ways that I would prefer not to share in this letter. It's personal to every resident in our city. We have families to house. We have families to feed. We're not stupid. We know that, if you increase spending to an unsustainable amount, that the next step will be an increase in sales taxes-- which will hurt us even more. Someone in this city needs to have a backbone! Our City Manager needs to MARCH FORWARD to a closed session meeting where he will tell the union negotiators that, what was previously negotiated needs to be set aside until the city fully recovers from the current financial crisis and is able to ascertain the financial effects on the city. Further he should tell the union negotiators that he will do his best to keep all the current employees on board during this financial crisis, but that they should expect some possible layoffs. It's the tough thing to do, but it's the right thing to do. Americans are being asked to do the right things during this crisis. Above all the financial implications, we are being asked to set aside our liberties for the good of those around us, And, we are doing so. So, I'll end by paraphrasing President John F. Kennedy and encourage you not to do what is easy, but what is hard. For the thing that is hard, is also right. To all of you and your families, stay safe and well during these challenging times.

We are in scary and difficult times. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say we are possibly facing the worst recession any of us have every lived through(and I've survived two BIG recessions). In my immediate circle of family,friends and neighbors I can point to people who have lost jobs,businesses hurting to the point they may never recover....I fear every day that this COVIDI9 situation continues we are looking at exponentially larger and larger devastation. I was in utter disbelief when I saw the agenda for the upcoming council meeting. I thought surely there must be some mistake. Who on EARTH would be seeking raises or ANY contract provisions during this crisis? Meanwhile,news reports are trickling in reporting on cities that are looking at layoffs and other cutbacks as they prepare for the impending reality we will be dealing with in the weeks ahead. You may have seen the recent articles about Santa Barbara and Pasadena,and I'm sure we will see many more very soon: Even more alarming,a few days ago I heard an interview with a CEO of a leading national hotel who said he's cut 95%of his 7,000 employees and that this crisis will take MUCH LONGER to recover than either 9/11 or the financial crisis that took 5&8 years respectively....I can't even begin to imagine the impact this will have on our TOT. At this point,I still my job,but our 401k has tanked again. Last week I listened to a few council members making impassioned arguments for the city to offer added support/enforcement to protect renters from eviction. Why?? Out of concern for the vast number of HB residents who will be in danger of losing their housing due to lost jobs and income. Contrast the situation facing our residents with the fact that EVERY SINGLE CITY EMPLOYEE still has a job,guaranteed pay and stable pension. No city employee is at risk of losing their house,ability to put food on the table or losing their entire financial net worth. Wouldn't it be wise to put all contract actions"on ice"for at least a year until we assess the revenue losses? These are unchartered waters and we simply cannot proceed"business as usual". I understand that these MOU's have been in the works and represent Iikely weeks/months of negotiations. But just like the robust economy we were all enjoying....all bets were off the day this crisis shut down all business in our city and state. I would suggest to you that the best outcome we can even expect would be to hold on to current employees and avoid layoffs,but we must be open to this possibility as well. The bottom-line is that NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR RAISES OR CONTRACT COMMITMENTS. The citizens are 100%dependent on you,the council and management,for fiscal responsibility. Under the best of circumstances I could appreciate a robust debate on this subject....but right now IS NOT THE TIME! At this point I BEG: PLEASE DO NOT MOVE FORWARD with these MOUs.

All HB City Employees including Managers and Supervisors still have jobs are either working or working from home or doing NOTHING while earning a very high decent salary paid for by the HB peasant taxpayers. They have paid medical and leave protection while many unemployed peasant taxpayers have NOTHING. They are now beginning to lose their homes, their apartment leases and being evicted by not having paid rent. Meanwhile to justify a $2.6 Million dollar payroll increase HB City employees have a pay check, able to pay their mortgage, their rent and put food on table. Most peasant taxpayers are being forced to lose their Net Worth by using their savings and their paid in money from their 401K and other Pension Plans. Were the Peasant Taxpayers responsible for the $2.5 Million LOSS on the Navigation Real Estate fiasco which was swept under the rug and the Real Estate firm was paid a double commission. Go and collect the $2.5 Million from those involved and use those monies to pay the $2.6 Million you want to pay the City Employees Next let us take a look at the $1.0 Million Overtime Budget item for Safety. When was the last time we had a 50 story fire. Who has audited these OT claims. How do you justify the following payments: How do explain the following pay OT which appear out of line compared to the employees 2018 Regular Pay.

I would ask the non-existing City Auditor to conduct a Forensic Audit on this OT. In another words, just sweep it under the rug and continue to ask for further increase in Salaries. I am just a peasant taxpayer since 1972 and the only benefit I have seen is further deterioration of HB Community life style to benefit the Special Vested Interests who always must come first before the HB City Council. This is a time in the History of HB where the correct vote is a " NO" to benefit the Peasant Taxpayers who have to keep on Paying and Paying.

While I would like to think this information is fairly obvious given the extreme hardship we are now seeing across the nation, apparently this is not obvious to all our council members. I just read a Facebook post quoting one council member (not sure which one as the post did not name) as stating: "Fortunately, at the city we were running a surplus this year and we are still on track to finish in the black. Last year we were anticipating a recession and departments were tasked with cutting expenses across the board. No one could have anticipated this virus but we were conservative with our budgeting last year and that forward thinking has paid off. The city is in good financial shape." Our city employees have been working extremely long hours, changed their schedules to meet the current crisis needs and in some cases taken on completely new duties. Our emergency operations committee has developed a plan that has been acclaimed and copied by other cities. We are truly all in this together and I couldn't be more proud of our city or its employees. Is now really the time to break a deal that the council promised months ago?" I'm going to start by answering the question posed in this statement: YES, THIS REALLY IS THE TIME BREAK A DEAL!!! Yes, a month ago we did have a surplus and life was good...for everyone...and then the unthinkable happened! The economy was shut down in the blink of an eye. Never has this happened in our nation's history. How is it possible to know if we will "end in the black" with absolutely NO END IN SIGHT? Does this council member have a crystal ball? If so, please let me know if my 401 K will ever recover. I wish to share a few more articles 1 have come across so that you can catch a glimpse into how hard hitting this is for other cities. Keep in mind, we still have absolutely NO IDEA what the full impact of this shut down will be for HB. I would suggest to you that in the very best case scenario, perhaps because we were "in the black"just a few weeks ago, maybe we will be lucky and won't have to lay-off city staff, but I believe that is the best we can hope for. Yes, a month ago things were a lot different. To think that we can proceed this year as though nothing has happened is naive at best, but frankly, quite insane!

Honestly, I am struggling with a way to start this email. You have seen me many at council meetings many times over the past several months. I've written many emails. But this is very, very different. We are in scary and difficult times. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say we are possibly facing the worst recession any of us have every lived through (and I've survived two BIG recessions). In my immediate circle of family,friends and neighbors I can point to people who have lost jobs, businesses hurting to the point they may never recover....) fear everyday that this COVID19 situation continues we are looking at exponentially larger and larger devastation. I was in utter disbelief when I saw the agenda for the upcoming council meeting. I thought surely there must be some mistake. Who on EARTH would be seeking raises or ANY contract provisions during this crisis? Meanwhile, news reports are trickling in reporting on cities that are looking at layoffs and other cutbacks as they prepare for the impending reality we will be dealing with in the weeks ahead. You may have seen the recent articles about Santa Barbara and Pasadena, and I'm sure we will see many more very soon: https://www.pasadenanow.com/main/city-manager-details-how-much-12asadenas-economy-is- h in /? utm_source=04%2F01%2F2020+Newsletter&utm—campaign=040120enews&utm—medium=email https://www.edhat.com/news/city-of-sania-barbara-to-layoff-400-employees Even more alarming, a few days ago I heard an interview with a CEO of a leading national hotel who said he's cut 95% of his 7,000 employees and that this crisis will take MUCH LONGER to recover than either 9/11 or the financial crisis that took 5 & 8 years respectively....I can't even begin to imagine the impact this will have on our TOT. At this point, I still have a job (thank God!), but my 401 K that finally got "whole" after 12 years has tanked again. Last week I listened to a few council members making impassioned arguments for the city to offer added support/enforcement to protect renters from eviction. Why?? Out of concern for the vast number of HB residents who will be in danger of losing their housing due to lost jobs and income. Contrast the situation facing our residents with the fact that EVERY SINGLE CITY EMPLOYEE still has a job, guaranteed pay and stable pension. No city employee is at risk of losing their house, ability to put food on the table or losing their entire financial net worth. Wouldn't it be wise to put all contract actions "on ice" for at least a year until we assess the revenue losses? These are unchartered waters and we simply cannot proceed "business as usual". I understand that these MOU's have been in the works and represent likely weeks/months of negotiations. But just like the robust economy we were all enjoying....all bets were off the day this crisis shut down all business in our city and state. I would suggest to you that the best outcome we can even expect would be to hold on to current employees and avoid layoffs, but we must be open to this possibility as well. The bottom-line is that NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR RAISES OR CONTRACT COMMITMENTS. The citizens are 100% dependent on you, the council and management, for fiscal responsibility. Under the best of circumstances I could appreciate a robust debate on this subject....but right now IS NOT THE TIME! At this point I BEG: PLEASE DO NOT MOVE FORWARD with these MOUs.

Importance: High Dear Ms. Mayor,City Council Members and City Manager, I believe in continuity of government and all, but at this time, 100% of your focus should be on the health, safety, and welfare of HB residents. I'm looking at Items S,9 & 10 of the Agenda for Monday's City Council meeting. At a time where HB revenue is sure to decrease in the next year, do you really think it's appropriate (or even merely moral), to be doling out raises beyond COLAs? Look at the facts: • Businesses have shut down all over town,many will never open again. • The Stock Market has lost 25% of its value. How are HB holdings "holding"?Did anyone care to check? • The City of HB WILL not have the revenue that it has budgeted this year, this is just a plain fact, the City will likely see a 20-25%revenue shortfall. • How are you going to pay for the employees pension funds, as they currently stand? • Concessions on City-owned property were just given rental adjustments effects of COVID- 19, which implies lesser revenue. • Companies (like mine) have had to drastically modify the way they do business in order to make sure we can still deliver our services to our clients. • Your 2019-2020 fiscal budget has now fallen from and estimate to a pure speculation. The HB boat is taking in water from many places,instead of secretively meeting with unions to whisk out a quick pay-off, the City should be focusing on freezing any and all additional expenses. If(as they should) our contracts include "force majeure" clause(s), now is the time to invoke them. The City's financial obligations must be met with hard cash,they cannot be satisfied via accounting tricks. Will have you the money to meet these obligations in the coming year or even years?Until you have fully reviewed the financial implications of the current shutdown, all "forward-looking" activity must be tabled. Our citizens are at home,wondering when and whence their next paycheck will come and you have the galls to simply conduct business as usual and cater to already privileged categories of personnel?There only one word I can think.of to describe what I feel: "disgust"!

Although I didn't write this letter it expresses exactly my feelings, and perhaps the lack of yours. How could you even propose anything like this... Mayor Semeta and City Council members: I am writing to urge you to vote against Agenda Items 9,10 and 11. Writing this email has proved to be a challenge for me. In fact, writing emails to this city council has been difficult. What I thought were easy, common-sense decisions apparently aren't to some of you. Let's recap the tough decisions you have had to make: 1. Approving a zoning ordinance which would streamline the development of medium density housing NEXT TO A DECADES OLD TOXIC WASTE SITE. 2. Spending $66,000 for a feasibility study to determine the possibility of our city entering into the energy business, when, if you are really honest with yourselves you knew that the feasibility study would say--"Spend $8 to $10 million dollars to save a possible 2%. By the way, I'll bet you'd like that money back now. 3. And now--The Granddaddy Of All Tough Decisions. You are asked to approve salary increases in the amount of 3.5% to 4%to the majority of city employees during what may eventually turn out to be the greatest health emergency and the second greatest economic disaster in American history. But, March Forward! After all, it has been negotiated. We can't turn back now. Never mind that the city is hemorrhaging income. Each of you should call the car dealers on Beach Blvd. and ask them how sales are doing. Call the hotels. How's their business? Ask restaurants. How's that take-out business without alcohol sales? It doesn't take a clairvoyant to see the decrease in sales or TOT revenues that will be coming. Oh, but this is just a temporary blip. Things will be back to normal in no time! Really? Is this what you're hearing? This could easily carry into the summer. You know--like July 4th. It's a good thing our city doesn't have any traditional celebrations on that day. Otherwise, that would be another lost opportunity for increased sales tax revenue. I am utterly amazed at the tone-deaf way our staff and some of you approach things. I just did a Google search of"how bad could things get"which produced page after page of links to articles with some eye-opening predictions as to "how bad could things get". Let's just say the predictions are not encouraging. But, March Forward! Unemployment is skyrocketing. How can those laid off look for work when they are told not to leave their houses except for essentials?And to apply where? Thousands of businesses are closed. Later, we'll find some will have been closed permanently. But, March Forward! The stock market has lost trillions in valuation (roughly 25%). And there is no end in sight. Will the markets recover? Probably. But until they do many seniors like me will have to tighten our belts and live on less income. Less--not 3.5 to 4 percent more! LESS! Do you understand the concept of less? No, I don't think you do. But, March Forward! We still haven't seen the effect of this crisis on housing valuations. It could be that those are the next to be affected. After all,who's going to be buying houses with 8-10% unemployment? So, a traditional approach for seniors to sell their houses and downsize their expenses won't be available. Unless they want to sell at a loss. But, March Forward! I have heard from one of you that you sometimes think my tone comes across as"too personal". Well, this IS personal and has affected me deeply and personally in ways that I would prefer not to share in this letter. It's personal to every resident in our city. We have families to house. We have families to feed. We're not stupid. We know that, if you increase spending to an unsustainable amount, that the next step will be an increase in sales taxes--which will hurt us even more. Someone in this city needs to have a backbone! Our City Manager needs to MARCH FORWARD to a closed session meeting where he will tell the union negotiators that, what was previously negotiated needs to be set aside until the city fully recovers from the current financial crisis and is able to ascertain the financial effects on the city. Further, he should tell the union negotiators that he will do his best to keep all the current employees on board during this financial crisis, but that they should expect some possible layoffs. It's the tough thing to do, but it's the right thing to do. Americans are being asked to do the right things during this crisis. Above all the financial implications, we are being asked to set aside our liberties for the good of those around us, And, we are doing so. So, I'll end by paraphrasing President John F. Kennedy and encourage you not to do what is easy, but what is hard. For the thing that is hard, is also right. To all of you and your families, stay safe and well during these challenging times.

These words have continued to ring in our ears through recent weeks. We have been bombarded with this phrase since the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis so frequently that it might as well be chiseled into stone. Yet, it is during these difficult times that we forget how far ordinary leadership can go. That is why I encourage Mayor Lyn Semeta and the Huntington Beach City Council to lead by example tonight and transition away from a physical meeting to a digital format such as Zoom. While the City Council has made it an option for Councilmembers to digitally attend meetings, it is vital that we make it a compulsory requirement to protect the community and minimize the risk of COVID-19. This action should not just be undertaken to protect the skeleton crew of City Staff and Councilmembers in attendance but to set a positive example for the community to follow. Even with social distancing,physical meetings present a threat to the health of not only those in attendance but also their families and anyone with which they come into contact. It is irresponsible for anyone, especially community leaders,to be congregating at this time, especially when digital alternatives to physical meetings are available. More importantly,we must consider what example is being set for the community by hosting physical meetings. This is not just an issue of putting City Council and City Staff at risk but creating a bad behavioral example for the rest of the community. Huntington Beach has already experienced problems with residents not following social distancing protocol and the state's Stay-At-Home order. Physical City Council meetings only perpetuate this behavior. In times of crisis,people model their behavior on that of their elected officials. If residents see the City Council taking the current situation seriously and utilizing digital alternatives to normal activities,they, too,may revise their behavior to protect the health of our community. We live in the 21 st century and have the technological capabilities to prepare a fully digital meeting. Yes, moving to a digital format could potentially be a minefield littered with explosive problems. I am aware of the "Zoom bombing" that occurred during the Laguna Beach City Council meeting on Tuesday where a meeting participant posted pornography in the chat and displayed a live sex act. Public online meetings in Michigan, Maine,and all across the country have been disrupted by online incidents. These are not unconquerable problems,however. With critical thinking and collaboration,we can innovatively overcome these issues and have safe and productive City Council meetings while maintaining public transparency. Staff can insert a 7-second broadcast delay to allow for censoring expletive language and actions. Public comments could be submitted to and read aloud by the City CIerk. As to avoid the potential of"Zoom Bombing," City Councilmembers and Staff can be on a closed Zoom call that is broadcast online and via HBTV3 in a similar fashion that presentations are broadcast during Council meetings. These are just a few of the creative ideas that members of the community and I have brainstormed that require little to no cost to implement in order to protect the community's health. I am not arguing that a digital meeting is the perfect solution. There will likely be errors and hiccups in the process. Technology is neither perfect nor foolproof. What I am proposing is that technological glitches are preferable to increased community exposure to COVID-19. Allowing physical City Council meetings to continue to occur is not only irresponsible but reckless. It sets a poor example and puts countless lives at risk. I was recently inspired to look into Benjamin Franklin quotes and wanted to share one of my favorites in this time: "It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation,and only one bad one to lose it." The community's lives are in your hands. We will remember you by your actions. -Spencer Hagaman BF, Yale College'21 President, BF College Council B.A. Political Science ,spencer.hagamano,yale.edu 1 (714) 293 3572 From: Fikes.Cathy To: Aaenda Alerts Subject: Salary Increases Date: Friday,April 3,2020 5:32:10 PM -----Original Message----- From:MARLENE Shiner<mshiner5@msn.com> Sent: Friday,April 3,2020 5:27 PM To:CITY COUNCIL<city.council@surfcity-hb.org> Subject:Salary Increases?!

Mayor, City Council and city manager Oliver Chi, This Is NOT the time for agenda items 8, 9 and 10 to be brought up.There is NOT one single reason anyone should be given raises during a time when not only our city, county and state are in an emergency from pandemic but our whole country is. Everything done right now should be focused on helping and getting our city through the pandemic and NOT about those that rather be selfish and greedy while there are many in our own city that are not at work right now and facing hardships from the pandemic. Its bad enough $60,000 was spent not so long ago and over$2 million wasted on a property you all had to resell because someone didn't do the proper work before papers were signed on that failed attempted at a"shelter".Now this comes up and its ANOTHER show of how little those running are city think of or care for the citizens of Huntington Beach and what is really important at this time, Raises and contract negotiations are NOT what needs to be going on right nowllI Those that do vote yes on these items and continue any contract negotiations will be remembered for doing sa during a crisis and not putting it on hold for a year or so to see where we are at.

Do we understand the optics? Why now? People'are hurting, financially and emotionally. Consider the current environment: • Unemployment applications were reportedly 878,727 last week in California alone (over 6.6 million nationally). [https://www.dol.gov/ui/data.pdf] • Businesses have shut down all over Huntington Beach, and many may never re- open. • How are we going to pay the CaIPERS hit of several million dollars this year? • City expenses are up . . . revenues will be down (sales tax(projected $41.2M), TOT (projected $14.3M, etc.)). [Approved Budget, p. 2] • Concessionaires on City-owned property were just given rental abatements because of the shutdowns and unknown short- and long-term effects of COVID-19. • Private sector employees are being laid off, or are taking pay cuts rather than lose their jobs (as my son had to do). • The value of the City'.s asset portfolio has plunged along with the stock market. • The previously Council-approved "Adopted Budget Fiscal Year 2019-2020" showing projected Revenues of$372,464,890, can no longer be viable. [Adopted Budget, p. 17] In my view, fiscal responsibility(and your fiduciary obligation to be a good steward of taxpayers' monies) demands that wages--and negotiations for salary increases --should be frozen until a clearer picture of the fiscal impact of COVID-19 on our City is brought into focus, analyzed and explained. And that likely will take a year or so--and in the interim, we can figure out how to pay the expected CalPERS invoices. Is this really the time to be giving raises? Thank you. Gino J.

I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason ... my blunder posting an incorrect email address on the 4/6 agenda is helping us now to see where the holes are in our communication reporting process. The timing of it was challenging, to say the least! One thing is for certain ... the Council does receive all the emails sent, both to city.council@surfcity-hb.org, and agendacomment@surfcity-hb.org. We simply wrap up what they've already received in a package for the agenda.

Financial impact report of COVID-19 Councilmembers: Has the City Manager explained to you to your satisfaction, and to the public, specifically what the impact of COVID-19 will have on our budget? In my view, instead of putting pay raises on the Agenda right now, Mr. Chi should have followed the lead of the City of Laguna Beach. There, this Tuesday (April 7th), the city manager will present to the City Council a full report on the estimated impact of COVID-19 on city revenue, and his recommendations for budget modifications to meet that impact. They are specific (rather than just saying that Laguna Beach is in good financial shape), and the City Manager projects that between now and June 30th, he expects to see a decrease in revenue of roughly $12M, with General Fund losses of$6M, TOT down $3.5M, sales tax revenues down $1.3M and community development fees down roughly $1.2M. [See, https://Iaqunabeachcity.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view id=3&event id=824&meta id=83534] Shouldn't Mr. Chi be bringing to the City Council . . . and to the public . . . a similar report, instead of requesting pay raises right now? Between now and the end of the current fiscal year: • How much will our overall revenues be down? 2 • How much will our General Fund declines be? • How much will our TOT be down? • How much will our sales taxes be down? • What are the specific sources of funds (by Fund Numbers) we are going to use to pay the extraordinary CalPERS hit (estimated to be between $4M and $5.5M this year)? • Should our Adopted Budget be modified, and if so, how? Question: Do you know how our City Manager plans to deal with the adverse financial impact of COVID-19? Thank you. Gino J.

Several community members seem displeased that the contract talks are still on your agenda. During this time I believe it is more important then ever to show our support. Our officers are constantly attacked on Facebook forms by our community members trying to rally against them. This needs to stop. Agenda items that have been in the works for months need to continue. I do not believe our officers are paid enough now, pausing the current agenda items would be disgraceful.

As a resident of Huntington Beach, it is my sincere hope that the HBPD officers are being well-supported and well- compensated during this unprecedented crisis. In all the conversations about hazard pay and keeping employees safe, I would be disappointed to hear that our own HBPD officers,who work so hard to keep us all safe, are not being recognized tangibly for the dangerous work they do.

I am concerned that key city council members are taking advantage of the state wide stay at home orders to pass certain measures (such as personal raises) which would under normal circumstances have many objections from citizens. In a time when unemployment is seeing the highest numbers of recent generations and there's an overall uncertainty for many people as to where their next meal may come from, i feel like those funds should be going towards helping now struggling local businesses, helping Huntington Beach residents who to no fault of their own now cannot work by law, or enforcing safety measures that masses of people are not following endangering those who are concerned for their health and safety. It's extremely opportunistic, and frankly appalling, that people who are in the position to be helping others during the worst national crisis in recent memory are instead using their positioning for personal financial gain. I strongly object to any city council member or public appointee receiving a pay raise at this time when funds could and should go towards those who are struggling from the economic affects of covid 19 or supplying our local hospitals with much needed supplies. I'm truly disappointed that i have to write this email and that our public officials cannot be trusted to have this city and it's residents best interest in mind.

Please delay discussion and decision on agenda items 9, 10, and 11 until a later date when the all residents of Huntington Beach have an opportunity to be present to hear what is being decided and to make public comment. This is a time when you need to be completely open and accessible to our entire community. Discussing these items when many residents of our city cannot safely attend is not right or fair to your constituents. I appreciate all the hard work our city employees put in,especially the"first responders"who put their lives on the line. The negotiations with the union took place over several months,before the Corona virus took hold in our country. That was then,now we face a new reality. It may be that ultimately raises and other increased compensation are appropriate,but with this economic downturn,you need to better assess what the city can afford. Our people should not have to pay more taxes,or have reduced services because of this. The economy has taken a drastic downturn,with many businesses being forced to close,many people losing their jobs and investments. This is not the time to blindly march forward with increased spending. We do not know what the impact of all this is going to be on the city budget,but we can be pretty sure that there will be significantly less money to spend than you thought it was going to be a mere month ago. Please. Put this off until further analysis of the city's current and estimated future financial situation is,and until all our city's residents can attend the meeting. Thank you very much.

As a resident of Huntington Beach, it is my sincere hope that the HBPD officers are being well-supported and well- compensated during this unprecedented crisis.

I am in disbelief that there is consideration being given to pay raises at this moment in time. Responses to emails sent to City Council are even more alarming. We have become conditioned to the condescending and demeaning attitude consistently on display towards the concerned citizens who voice those concerns. We are all to aware of each council members nefarious associations with the POA and public sector unions. The riddle is why do you continue to play this game of"we know what's best for you" when we all know you are bought and paid for by the above mentioned affiliations. Posey, Delgleize, Brenden and Carr we get it. The POA plays dirty. The unsaid threats and ramifications are real. There are serious consequences when not caving in to their demands. Having said that,this is your chance to make the break from these out of control puppeteers. Cut the strings today. Today,more than any other time the citizens of HB are united. They will be behind you if your vote is against these ridiculous items. Voting for should prove to be political suicide. It's your choice,but remember who put you in your positions. Being drunk with power, creating a voting block and slapping the faces of a community that is hurting is not a good look. According to one council members email response,this was negotiated and promised months ago. Promised?Before being presented to the citizens for comment and council for votes? Promised? What an insult to your constituents. How dare you. The antics of Oliver Chi are wearing thin. Unfortunately for Oliver, too many have figured you out, and may I add your past employment incompetence and reputation precedes you. We are not willing to be held hostage but a man who is more in tune with being a game show host than a City Manager. Remember Oliver, you work for us,the citizens of HB and this is no game show. Your no vote tonight will be the first step to mending the insulting past behaviors of this council. Show your commitment to the citizens you promised to represent. Break away from the POA stranglehold and the HB citizens will applaud you. i Prove to us you do have a conscience,prove to us you have the best interest of our community,prove to us you are independent and not unconditionally attached to the POA and political donors, prove to us you deserve to be where you are. Do the right thing and vote no. Now is not the time be weak, stand up for your constituents. Regards, Diana Zimmer Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE Droid 2
