ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS
18. 20-1998 Adopted Resolution No. 2020-81 supporting the mural-based architectural
treatment and associated funding, and approved and authorized execution of a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Huntington Beach and
AES Southland Development, LLC
City Manager Chi explained this action is related to getting Council's direction on accepting AES funding,
not allocating funding, and introduced Director of Community Development Ursula Luna-Reynosa who
presented a PowerPoint communication titled AES Huntington Beach Energy Project, with slides entitled
Photographs (9), MOU and Proposed Programs, Requested City Council Action, and Questions.
Councilmember Hardy confirmed that this action is only to address the mural, not where funds will be
allocated. She shared her concerns regarding the community claims that some southeast Huntington
Beach community email addresses have been lost, and asked staff to be diligent to ensure that issue is
properly addressed. She also suggested that AES may have funding to use for a southeast
neighborhood mail-in survey on the mural. Councilmember Hardy stated her support for using a large
portion of the funds for southeast neighborhood projects, and added that in her opinion Edison
Community Center should be removed as an option because that project has already been approved
with allocated funds.
i
Councilmember Posey and Director Luna-Reynosa discussed that it appears AES would like to receive
Council's approval for the funding amount as soon as possible for their bookkeeping purposes, and
Council is not expected to be under any time constraints for determining how those funds are allocated.
Mayor Pro Tern Carr expressed her concerns regarding Section 2, Community Improvement Projects
(CIP) funding and allocation to the four listed categories. Director Luna-Reynosa confirmed that
Council's future action in determining project allocation would not need to be limited to the suggested
categories.
Councilmember Delgleize expressed her desire to ensure that suggested recommendations and projects
from the southeast community are readily communicated for Council consideration.
I
Councilmember Brenden expressed concerns related to Council's ultimate discretion for using the AES
funding when the MOU currently states "the funds shall be allocated by the City for the following CIPs
and programs," however, he believes the categories as listed are probably general enough to allow
discretion. He further stated that before allocations are determined, there must be communication with
the southeast community seeking their input, and a Study Session should be scheduled to discuss the
options and to evaluate costs and benefits.
Councilmember Peterson stated that there are regulatory permitting and contract requirement deadlines
which AES must meet which requires Council's expedient action on the fund amount. He also stated that
the Southeast Community Committee recommends various methods of additional community outreach,
as well as using a majority of the funding for projects to benefit that area of the City.
Council/PFA Regular Minutes

Page 9 of 12
Councilmember Hardy stated there are actually five project categories listed in the MOU, and suggested
the list of options that was formed by southeast Huntington Beach residents, when the Redevelopment
Agency existed and the project started, would be a good place to start.
Councilmember Delgleize confirmed with City Manager Chi that AES notified the City they need to close
their books on this funding, there are other area cities vying for AES funding which might impact the
amount available for Huntington Beach if a decision is delayed, the California Energy Commission is
awaiting notification of the Council's decision regarding the mural and fund amount, and there is
additional time to determine actual use of the funds.
Mayor Semeta stated her support for the fund amount and mural. She expressed her excitement for the
selected artist to create a project for the southern entrance to Huntington Beach, and thanked AES for
working to create a quality piece of public art.
A motion was made by Posey, second Semeta to adopt Resolution No. 2020-81, "A Resolution of the
City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Supporting the Mural-Based Architectural Treatment and
Capital Improvement Projects and Programs Related to the Newly Constructed Huntington Beach
Energy Project" (Attachment 1); and, approve the "Memorandum of Understanding AES Southland
Development, LLC and City of Huntington Beach" (Attachment 2) and authorize and direct the City
Manager to execute the MOU on behalf of the City, as amended with revised mural description as
recommended by staff.
The motion carried by the following vote:
AYES: Posey, Delgleize, Carr, Semeta, Peterson, Hardy, and Brenden
NOES: None
19. 20-1999 Approved the Fiscal Year 2020/21 Reorganization Plan in Response to COVID-19 by
adopting Resolutions No. 2020-77, 2020-78, 2020-79, 2020-80 related to Side Letters
of Agreement with the Huntington Beach Municipal Teamsters (HBMT), Marine

introduction Ordinance No. 4221 to amend Section 2.76.010 of the Huntington
Beach Municipal Code related to exclusions from competitive service

Plan with slides titled: City Budget Update, Summary of Proposed Reorganization Plan, City Manager

Administrative Services Department, Community& Library Services Department, Community Services
Department, Library Services, Community & Library Services Department, Public Works Department(3),

Department(3), Citywide FTE By Department, General Fund Savings Summary, FY 2020121 Budgetary
Position After Restructure, Future Fiscal Concerns Still Exist, Refinancing Our Pension Debt, Long Term
Financial Plan(4), Next Steps, and Questions?

the Assistant Chief of Police funded in the Police Department budget, and City Manager Chi suggested
Council/PFA Regular Minutes
November 2, 2020
Page 10 of 12
that any changes to staffing level should be made in consultation with a new Police Chief when selected.
Their discussion continued on the new position of Community Relations Specialist which is envisioned to
work closely with the new Navigation Center and have oversight responsibilities. Councilmember Posey
thanked City Manager Chi for his efforts to create a workable solution while continuing to meet service
needs.
Councilmember Peterson stated his support, except for Recommended Action "F," which in his opinion
appears to approve free-reign budget actions without further Council input. Finance Director Bulosan
explained that anticipated adjustments are between funds, or administrative adjustments for the General
and Infrastructure Funds. City Manager Chi clarified the need is for authorization to make restructure
plans as outlined in the staff report, as well as classification plans and Side Letter Agreements.
Councilmember Peterson, City Attorney Gates and Assistant City Manager Hopkins discussed the
process which allows a direct charge to the Infrastructure Fund in lieu of charging through the General
Fund, a process which has been used for the last 15 years.
Mayor Pro Tern Carr expressed her concerns about using Infrastructure Funds and appreciation for the
clarification. She also thanked City Manager Chi for the thorough report, incorporating Council
suggested changes, and continuing to be forward thinking while continuing to provide services and
keeping the City fiscally sound.
Councilmember Brenden and City Manager Chi discussed the reduction of 33 positions, and loss of 97
early retirees, which will require a detailed recruitment plan to hire approximately 14 positions through
the "960" program to ensure no impact in services, and outsourcing more services. City Manager Chi
stated that staff would return to Council if it is determined that any adjustments need to be made.
Councilmember Brenden expressed concerns about placing Economic Development with Housing and
Code Enforcement, and confirmed there is no change in the number of sworn officers in the Police
Department because those adjustments are coming out of non-sworn staff.
Councilmember Delgleize and City Manager Chi discussed responsibilities for the new Police Lieutenant
position. Councilmember Delgleize thanked staff for their diligence in providing these staffing solutions.
Mayor Semeta and City Manager Chi discussed more details regarding the proposed placement of
Economic Development and rebuilding those services.
A motion was made by Posey, second Carr to adopt Resolution No. 2020-77, "A Resolution of the City
Council of the City of Huntington Beach Amending the City's Classification Plan and Memorandum of
Understanding Between the City and the Huntington Beach Municipal Teamsters (HBMT) by Adopting
the Side Letter of Agreement" (Attachment 1); and, adopt Resolution No. 2020-78, "A Resolution of the

and, after City Clerk reads by title, approve for Introduction Ordinance No. 4221, "An Ordinance of the
