As part of that partnership project, the City would allow the County to use the Cameron site (which is being acquired by the City), and the County would construct (and eventually transfer to City ownership) a 75-bed shelter facility. Since that time, several developments have created an opportunity to accelerate and expand the process by which the City would begin operating the proposed shelter facility. Based on current developments, it is now possible for the City to begin operating a 174-bed shelter facility starting on Monday, November 2, 2020. Financial Impact: The City currently has restricted funding in the following amounts available for use towards establishment and operation of the 174-bed shelter facility: City of Huntington Beach Page 1 of 5 Printed on 7/30/2020 powere3�*Legistar- File #: 20-1799 MEETING DATE: 8/3/2020 Source g Available'Funds r - Notes :-� COVID-19 Funds-State&County $ 4,206,214 Available for homeless+COVID response CDBG Funds $ 1,500,000 Programmed for Mercy House service contract SB2 Funds $ 550,000 Programmed for Mercy House service contract LMIHAF Funds I $ 5,250,000 Available for purchasing Beach Site Based on the available funding amounts, the proposed expenditure plan staff is recommending for authorization is as follows: COVID-19 Funds Expenditure Plan COVID-19 Funds Available $ 4,206,214 COVID-19Funds Expenditure Plan 174-Bed Shelter Site Development $ 2,220,000 `Mercy House Operations Contract $ 550,000 i Beach Site Shelter Ground Lease $ 120,000 FEMA Reimbursement $ 1,185,214 18585 Match , 1 214 Enhanced Beach Restroom Cleaning $ 30,000 Enhanced Central Park Trash Clean-Up A $ 40,000 Enhanced Park Restroom Cleaning $ 36,000 Enhanced Downtown Pressure Washing $ 25,000 TOTAL $ 4,206,214 174-Bed Shelter Facility Establishment Costs* 174-Bed Shelter Facility Establishment Costs ;SPRUNG Extension $ 275,000 j Restroom/Shower Facilities _ $ 350,000 Off-Site Improvements $ 550,000 Trailers+Refurbishment $� 375 ,000 FFEs $ 300,000 a x Contingency(20%) $ 370,000 a TOTAL $ 2,220,000 �..:::.:::.......i * Of note, the identified costs comprise City expenses to expand the shelter facility capacity from 75-beds to 174-beds.

Recommended Action: Authorize and direct the City Manager to take the following actions to begin operating an expanded 174-bed shelter facility at the Cameron Lane / Beach Boulevard site effective November 2, 2020: (1) Execution of a homeless shelter operator contract with Mercy House with a first year cost of $2,596,240 (utilizing CDBG, SB2, and COVID-19 response funds); and, (2) Expenditures in an amount not to exceed $2,220,000 for site work / FF&E costs related to expanding the Cameron Lane / Beach Boulevard shelter (utilizing COVID-19 response funds); and, (3) Execute a ground lease agreement in an amount not to exceed $120,000 for accelerated use of City of Huntington Beach Page 3 of 5 Printed on 7/30/2020 powered LegistarT" File #: 20-1799 MEETING DATE: 8/3/2020 17642 Beach Boulevard (utilizing COVID-19 response funds); and, (4) Allocation of$3,214,035 in housing funds for acquisition of 17642 Beach Boulevard (utilizing Low- Moderate Income Housing Asset Funds). Alternative Action(s): Do not authorize the recommended actions and provide staff with additional direction. Analysis: On April 20, 2020 the City Council approved an agreement with the County of Orange (the "County") to stand-up and operate a 75-bed shelter facility in Huntington Beach on the Cameron site. As part of that partnership project, the City would allow the County to use the Cameron site (which is being acquired by the City), and the County would construct (and eventually transfer to City ownership) a 75-bed shelter facility. Since that time, several new developments have created an opportunity to accelerate and expand the process by which the City would begin operating the proposed shelter facility. Based on the current situation, it is now possible for the City to begin operating a 174-bed shelter facility starting on Monday, November 2, 2020. This new opportunity has been made possible due in part to the fact that the City has received an infusion of restricted COVID-19 funding (in a total amount of $4,206,214) that can be used to aid in our homeless response efforts. Those restricted dollars can fund an expansion of the original 75-bed shelter into a 174-bed facility. Of note, by establishing a 174-bed facility, the City will have shelter bed capacity for 60% of our unsheltered homeless population, which is the standard that has been established by the Federal Courts in Orange County for those local agencies that aim to begin enforcing their quality of life regulations. Additionally, after extensive discussions with the County, the City will be allowed to begin operating and using the expanded 174-bed shelter as soon as it becomes operational, provided that the City's shelter operator take on the responsibility effective day 1. Given the advance work coordinated by staff, we have followed our procurement processes and identified Mercy House as the City's homeless shelter operator. After extensive discussions, assuming City Council authorization of their service contract tonight, Mercy House has agreed to begin operating the City's 174-bed shelter effective Monday, November 2, 2020. Finally, the expansion of the shelter is made possible so long as the City procures access to the property adjacent to the Cameron site, which is referred to as 17642 Beach Boulevard (Beach site). As the City Council may recall, on February 17, 2020, the City Council authorized the acquisition of the Cameron site. As part of that action, the City also procured an option to purchase Beach site. For tax purposes, the seller does not want to sell the Beach site until 2021. In advance of that action, a ground lease to utilize the Beach site can be procured, for a total amount not to exceed $120,000. By consummating a ground lease to begin using the Beach site immediately, coupled with the other actions contemplated in this request, it will be possible to have the expanded 174-bed shelter constructed and operational by November 2, 2020. City of Huntington Beach Page 4 of 5 Printed on 7/30/2020 powereW:b Legistarl" File #: 20-1799 MEETING DATE: 8/3/2020 Of note, staff has been working with consulting firm EEC Environmental to perform requisite environmental due diligence as part of the possible acquisition of the Cameron site and the Beach site. While both sites do have soil contamination present (including pesticides, arsenic, lead, and hexavalent chromium), after extensive testing and analysis, the Orange County Health Care Agency has issued findings deeming it safe to operate a shelter facility on the site, so long as an asphalt pavement cover is placed over the soil. Further, staff has performed a comprehensive assessment of the feasibility of utilizing the properties for a proposed future affordable housing project in light of the contaminants found. That analysis has determined that the soil contamination will not prevent a future housing project from occurring on the combined Cameron / Beach properties. Environmental Status: A ground lease of the Beach site is exempt in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") Guidelines as the lease will not cause a significant effect on the environment. A future project contemplating the residential development of affordable housing may be exempt in accordance with Section 15194 subject to requirements listed in Sections 15192 and 15194 of the CEQA Guidelines. Such environmental analysis will be conducted once an application is submitted and a project description is defined.

Sadly, I know solutions have been explored over a number of years,with seemingly little progress. I urge you to support the approval of the 15t steps toward a permanent navigation center on Cameron Lane. However, I ask you to still consider a temporary emergency shelter somewhere within our city so our ordinances can be enforced by HBPD. At the last council meeting, I heard a number of council members request further information from our city manager about Cameron Lane and an interim emergency shelter. I believed this was the impetus for Council Member Posey's motion (and council's approval)to table Council Member Peterson's motion for a temporary emergency shelter. Were your and council's requests satisfied via direct communication from the city manager's office? I don't see Council Member Peterson's Measure H proposal or any other discussion of an interim emergency shelter on the 8/3/20 agenda. Again, I urge you to support the Cameron Lane navigation center but please ask City Manager Chi these questions before the interim emergency shelter proposal is disregarded. 1. What type of construction will be erected at Cameron Lane for use in November? a. Is this a 174 bed permanent structure? 2. Does the soil analysis report require soil remediation before construction begins? a. Is November 2020 a realistic opening date? 3. Have the residents and property owners near Cameron Lane been notified of the City's intentions? 4. Did you explore other city properties besides the City Yard on Gothard St for a interim emergency shelter? Additionally, during the discussion of a temporary emergency shelter at July council meeting, a few council members expressed concern about spending money and human resources unnecessarily on a temporary emergency shelter if Cameron Lane navigation center is approved. Please consider the amount of money and human resources ( POA wages) that are spent needlessly confronting the same homeless individuals over and over only to have them ( homeless) return to the same behavior within hours. Imagine the savings to the City if our Homeless Task Force and HBPD were able to offer a shelter to the homeless and/or enforcement of the anti-camping/loitering ordinances. Our city resources would not be spent revisiting the same homeless individuals over and over and over and. . . We agree we need a navigation center to help our homeless population. We also need an interim emergency shelter now. Let's not be saying in January that we've been working on this issue for 6 years.

Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65660 - 65668, the proposed shelter facility is a ministerial use (i.e. — permitted by right). As such, pursuant to Section 65660(b), actions taken by a public agency to lease, convey, or encumber land owned by a public agency, or to facilitate the lease, conveyance, or encumbrance of land owned by a public agency, or to provide financial assistance to, or otherwise approve, a low barrier navigation center meeting the requirements of Section 65662, are not subject to CEQA. Therefore, the proposed actions to fund and approve the installation and operation of the proposed homeless shelter, are not subject to CEQA. Furthermore, this action is statutorily exempt from CEQA in accordance with Section 15268 of the CEQA Guidelines. The proposed action to allocate funding to acquire 17642 Beach Boulevard is exempt in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") Guidelines because it can be seen with certainty that the acquisition will not cause a significant effect on the environment. A future project contemplating a residential development of affordable housing may be exempt in accordance with Section 15194 subject to requirements listed in Sections 15192 and 15194 of the CEQA Guidelines. Such environmental analysis will be conducted once an application is submitted and a project description is defined. cc: Michael Gates, City Attorney SUPPLEMENTAL Robin Estanislau, City Clerk COMMUNICATION Executive Team Date: 9103/.0620 Agenda item No.: -7 Z C-Zo- /9L99 l Switzer, Donna From: Fikes, Cathy Sent: Friday, July 31, 2020 3:00 PM To: Agenda Alerts Subject: FW: Homeless Shelter From: Imwater<Imwater@yahoo.com> Sent: Friday,July 31, 2020 2:00 PM To: CITY COUNCIL<city.council@surfcity-hb.org> Subject: RE: Homeless Shelter please include this I.

Honorable Mayor Semeta, As you know, the growing homeless population creates a health, safety, and humanitarian crisis in our city. Sadly, I know solutions have been explored over a number of years, with seemingly little progress. I urge you to support the approval of the 15i steps toward a permanent navigation center on Cameron Lane. However, I ask you to still consider a temporary emergency shelter somewhere within our city so our ordinances can be enforced by HBPD. At the last council meeting, I heard a number of council members request further information from our city manager about Cameron Lane and an interim emergency shelter. I believed this was the impetus for Council Member Posey's motion (and council's approval) to table Council Member Peterson's motion for a temporary emergency shelter. Were your and council's requests satisfied via direct communication from the city manager's office? I don't see Council Member Peterson's Measure H proposal or any other discussion of an interim emergency shelter on the 8/3/20 agenda. Again, I urge you to support the Cameron Lane navigation center but please ask City Manager Chi these questions before the interim emergency shelter proposal is disregarded. 1. What type of construction will be erected at Cameron Lane for use in November? a. Is this a 174 bed permanent structure? 2. Does the soil analysis report require soil remediation before construction begins? a. Is November 2020 a realistic opening date? 3. Have the residents and property owners near Cameron Lane been notified of the City's intentions? 4. Did you explore other city properties besides the City Yard on Gothard St for a interim emergency shelter? Additionally, during the discussion of a temporary emergency shelter at July council meeting, a few council members expressed concern about spending money and human resources unnecessarily on a temporary emergency shelter if Cameron Lane navigation center is approved. Please consider the amount of money and human resources ( POA wages) that are spent needlessly confronting the same homeless individuals over and over only to have them ( homeless) return to the same behavior within hours. Imagine the savings to the City if our Homeless Task Force and HBPD were able to offer a shelter to the homeless and/or enforcement of the anti-camping/loitering ordinances. Our city resources would not be spent revisiting the same homeless individuals over and over and over and. . . We agree we need a navigation center to help our homeless population. We also need an interim emergency shelter now. Let's not be saying in January that we've been working on this issue for 6 years. Thank you for your attention. i Respectfully, Donna DiCCon donnadillon214@aol.com 22102 Jonesport Ln Huntington Beach, CA 92646 2 Switzer, Donna From: L G <lolitaandsergio@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, August 3, 2020 10:45 AM To: supplementalcomm@surfcity-hb.org Subject: Item 22 comment from concerned hb resident My name is Lolita.

I ask today that you stop funding to "hbpd homeless task force" , until they can do more then just hand out a card and tell someone to call 2-1-1. Our resources are being spent on them which do nothing to better or stop the situation. They constantly have their hands tied. So why are they really here ??? Just show and tell ??? Most importantly,I demand our city council leaders to act like such and set up the shelter ! Do something for this city and not yourself. Propose and approve : The old Senior Center on 1706 Orange Ave hb, ca to be used as a shelter. All other property proposed are basically vacant parking lots and nasty toxic dirt land that could not be set up as such. We know schools and homes are all around these sites you so want, and you won't have them probably enclosed. Tents do not suffice.

The 17631 Cameron Lane property and its post-World War II 1947 structure was given the status code "3CS" (page 166),which means it appears eligible for the California Register Historical Resource Inventory(CR)"as an individual property through survey evaluation;appears eligible for the CR both individually and as a contributor to a CR eligible district through a survey evaluation). These properties are historical resources for the purposes of CEQA." Resources listed in,or determined to be eligible for listing in,the California Register are resources that must be given consideration in the CEQA process.All projects undertaken by a public agency are subject to CEQA. Historical resources are recognized as part of the environment under CEQA(PRC§21002(b), 21083.2,and 21084.1).The California Register is an authoritative guide to the state's historical resources and to which properties are considered significant for purposes of CEQA. Obviously, demolition constitutes a significant adverse impact.There is no categorical exemption for this regarding this project. If the City is claiming a statutory exemption,then have you filed or do you intend to file an exemption?If not,why? Have you conferred with the Office of Historic Preservation(CaISHPO) or the consultant who conducted the City's survey regarding the course of action?Have you asked the Historic Resources Board to prepare a property history? Have you considered incorporating the house into the plan as an office?If the structure is demolished,will you enforce/allow salvage of historic features(e.g. historical organizations, museums, preservationists use these materials)?Heritage documentation should at the very least include a Historic American Building Survey(NABS)and Historic American Landscapes Survey(HALS)with photo documentation. Sadly, it has become common practice for the City to disregard its own official designations for historical structures in Huntington Beach—as well as designations by state and national experts—and proceed as though historic/cultural resources are not"environment".The need for shelter and services for the homeless is indeed critical. However,there remains a CEQA obligation the City should not disregard.

No shelter in City Yard on Gothard! Dear Mayor and Councilpeople: I am a retired Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney and I bought my house in 2013 to be near my horses at the Equestrian Center. My backyard backs up against the city yard on Gothard. Please do not vote to build a temporary homeless shelter there.As you heard during the last meeting,which I watched on live stream, almost 100 elderly senior citizens live right next door to The Yard and it is surrounded on three sides by residential areas. I certainly do not want it right next to my own backyard with all the problems shelters bring. In addition, some of you made the excellent points during the last meeting that there is no way a shelter would go up in a few weeks and Cameron Lane is so close to completion, it would not be wise to divert workforce attention from that. There is really no good reason to alarm, frighten,and infuriate those of us who live right next to the yard. Please do not vote to authorize a temporary shelter in the city yard on Gothard.
