Councilmember Peterson and consultants discussed a recommendation to relocate one fire station to improve the drive time to the northwest and northeast neighborhoods. Mayor Delgleize and Mr. Henke discussed the spacing of fire stations and meeting the national “best practice” advice of every 1.5 miles, taking into consideration the local traffic conditions and reaching destinations in 4 to 5 minutes. If it begins to take upwards of 6 minutes to reach a destination, then it is time to add more fire stations. Councilmember O'Connell and consultants discussed the cost vs. revenue for the FireMed program, and options for increasing insurance billing for reimbursement. The consultants also shared that there is no longer any connection between what a business may be charged for insurance and the rating of the local fire department. Councilmember Semeta and consultants discussed that a 36% collection rate is considered an efficient system, especially when you remember that no one pays the fully billed cost for Emergency Medical Service (EMS). For instance, Medicaid/Medicare payments never have and never will pay 100 percent of the charges. Councilmember Semeta and consultants also discussed the unusual paramedic staffing restrictions in Orange County.

(02:54:40) 7. Approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 16-045 (HQ Gastropub) located at 155 Fifth Street, #183 (north side of Pacific Coast Highway between Fifth Street and Sixth Street – The Strand) and required compliance with all conditions of approval from Resolution No. 2013-24, Exhibit A Item 2. - 8 HB -16- Council/PFA Regular Minutes April 17, 2017 Page 9 of 16 Community Development Director Scott Hess introduced Associate Planner Christopher Wong who gave a PowerPoint presentation entitled: City Council H Q Gastropub that contained the following titled slides : Project Description (2), Existing Facade, Proposed Facade, Restaurant Background, Resolution Background, Planning Commission, Analysis (2), Recommendation and Alternative Motion . Councilmember Brenden and staff discussed that there is no parking for this restaurant on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH), and patrons are therefore expected to use the parking structure. Councilmember Hardy and staff discussed how establishments that serve alcohol routinely require employee training, or set different hours for alcohol vs food service. Mayor Delgleize opened the Public Hearing for this item. City Clerk Robin Estanislau announced receipt of e-mail communications from Susan Worthy, Guy Guzzardo and James Aul. Public Hearing — 5 speakers Kate Leigh, representing Lance Taylor, Capro Strand and owner of The Strand, was called to speak and expressed support for the Alternative Action #1 identified within the staff report for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 16-045 for HQ Gastropub. Ms. Leigh described meeting with Susan Worthy, discussed hours of operation for the trash compactor, posting signs restricting use of loading area, and barricade placement to restrict entrance to that area. (03:05:29) Bridgette Sanossian, HQ Gastropub Real Estate Broker, was called to speak and expressed support for Alternative Action #1 for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 16-045 for HQ Gastropub. She discussed HQ’s lease negotiations which included a contingency period, and the research and resources spent on selecting the location. She also described like businesses in surrounding areas to reflect the type of dining experience customers should expect. (03:07:56) Christine VanRooy, VanRooy Design was called to speak and expressed support for Alternate Action #1 for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 16-045 for HQ Gastropub. She described the background of her business and how the internal design portrays a bright, safe environment that will not over-emphasize alcohol service. She also stated her opinion that HQ’s intentions for expanded hours relate not only to alcohol service, but food service as well. (03:11:18) Mark Matters, HQ Gastropub Managing Director, was called to speak and expressed support for Alternative Action #1 for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 16-045 for HQ Gastropub. Mr. Matters discussed HQ’s professionalism, high quality product and financial standing. In response to Councilmember Hardy, Mr. Matters confirmed that the establishment would provide contracted, professional security onsite for Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 8 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. (03:14:26) Richard Plummer, downtown resident, was called to speak and expressed his opposition to Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 16-045 for HQ Gastropub because in his opinion, there are already too many existing liquor licenses and inadequate police protection for that area. (03:20:05) There being no more speakers, Mayor Delgleize closed the Public Hearing. HB -17- Item 2. - 9 Council/PFA Regular Minutes April 17, 2017 Page 10 of 16 Councilmember Hardy expressed her opinion that there should not be alcohol sales after midnight; however, a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) requiring 8 pm – 2 am security staff, and allowing only beer and wine sales (no hard alcohol) after midnight, might be appropriate for future CUPs. Mayor Pro Tem Posey stated that in his opinion HQ Gastropub represents and appears to meet the business standards expected as described by the training they require for alcohol servers, by providing onsite security, and the use of ID scanners. Director Hess confirmed for Mayor Pro Tem Posey that no one spoke in opposition to the application at Planning Commission hearings. That being said, Mayor Pro Tem Posey provided support for Alternative Action #1. Councilmember Brenden shared his support of Alternative Motion #1, in part because the previous facility was open to 2 a.m. Councilmember Semeta voiced her support for the many reasons already stated, plus their track record at their existing location, and the fact that the Huntington Beach Police Department has expressed no objection. Councilmember Peterson expressed support for the strengthened revocation language, and believes that the required security staff should be included in future CUPs. Mayor Delgleize expressed her appreciation to Mr. Matters for the thorough presentation, and stated her support, recognizing the applicant’s plans to provide their own security staff. A motion was made by Councilmember Brenden to approve Alternation Action #1: Conditional Use Permit No. 16-045 to reestablish a restaurant (HQ Gastropub), with on-site sales and consumption of alcohol in a vacant tenant space, and require compliance with all conditions of approval from City Council Resolution No. 2013-24, Exhibit A, except Condition No. 1 and allow the restaurant to operate until 2:00 AM three days a week, with findings and revised conditions of approval (Applicant's Request). Discussion ensued. Councilmember Hardy expressed her opinion that the maker of the motion should consider including three conditions: 1) employee training and certification, 2) security staff, and 3) allow only beer and wine sales (not hard liquor). Councilmember Semeta voiced her support of a motion that adds a requirement for security staff, but doesn't support the proposed requirement to only allow beer and wine sales, and she confirmed that employee training and certification is already a part of the conditions. (03:40:02) Mayor Pro Tem Posey seconded Councilmember Brenden’s motion to approve Alternation Action #1: Conditional Use Permit No. 16-045 to reestablish a restaurant (HQ Gastropub), with on-site sales and consumption of alcohol in a vacant tenant space, and require compliance with all conditions of approval from City Council Resolution No. 2013-24, Exhibit A, except Condition No. 1 and allow the restaurant to operate until 2:00 AM three days a week, with findings and revised conditions of approval (Applicant's Request) as amended to require security staff onsite between the hours of 8:00 PM to 2:30 AM, Thursday through Saturday; and, strengthen revocation language in Condition #5. The motion as amended carried by the following vote: AYES: Semeta, Posey, Delgleize, Brenden, and Peterson NOES: Hardy RECUSED: O’Connell Item 2. - 10 xs -18- Council/PFA Regular Minutes April 17, 2017 Page 11 of 16 8. Approved Entitlement Plan Amendment No. 16-007 (Black Bull Outdoor Dining Area Relocation) located at 300 Pacific Coast Highway, #112 (south side of Walnut Avenue between Main Street and 3rd Street – Pierside Pavilion) and require compliance with all conditions of approval from Resolution No. 2013-24, Exhibit B Associate Planner Christopher Wong gave a PowerPoint presentation entitled: City Council Black Bull Outdoor Dining Area Relocation with slides entitled : Project Description (2), Restaurant Background (2), Planning Commission, Analysis (2), Recommendation, and Alternative Motion. Community Development Director Scott Hess informed the Council that if the new outdoor dining area in front is not approved, the applicant would continue to use their existing outdoor dining area. Councilmember Hardy confirmed with staff that the outdoor dining hours are restricted in the Alternate Action #1, and Gallagher's hours of operation (including outdoor) are not limited. Councilmember Peterson confirmed with staff that the Alternate Action #1 allows the same hours of operation for seven days per week. Mayor Delgleize opened the Public Hearing for this item. Public Hearing — 2 speakers Jeff Bergsma, Project Applicant and Architect, was called to speak and voiced his support for EPA No. 16-007 (Black Bull Outdoor Dining Area Relocation). Mr. Bergsma explained the tenant’s ideas to support patio relocation, and was available for any questions about the project. (03:52:17) Councilmember Hardy confirmed with Mr. Bergsma that currently Black Bull is open to 1:30 a.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, but would like to have the option to stay open until 1:30 a.m. every day. The current restriction for outdoor dining is 10 p.m. Richard Plummer was called to speak and voiced his opposition to EPA No. 16-007 (Black Bull Outdoor Dining Area Relocation), not due to the establishment operator, but due to the need for a comprehensive downtown alcohol plan that stays with the property and requires more establishment-provided security. (03:55:14) There being no more speakers, Mayor Delgleize closed the Public Hearing. Councilmember Hardy expressed support for the change in the outdoor dining area, suggested that the 1:30 a.m. closing be restricted to Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and, recommends that the establishment be required to also provide security staff for any later closing evenings. Mayor Delgleize expressed support for the outdoor patio change which would reduce the space, and confirmed with Mr. Bergsma that requiring employee training and certification, as well as requiring security staff are not a problem. Councilmember Peterson expressed his support for the 1:30 a.m. closing time only for Thursday through Saturday, not seven days per week. Mayor Pro Tem Posey stated his support of the Alternate Action #1 and looks forward to the changes and improvements. xs -19- Item 2. - 11 Council/PFA Regular Minutes April 17, 2017 Page 12 of 16 Councilmember Brenden expressed his opinion that Black Bull is making an investment in improving the facility and approval of this item will not be expanding the alcohol service hours. Councilmember Brenden also supports the suggestion to restrict the 1:30 a.m. closing to Thursday through Saturday. Police Chief Handy confirmed that currently the Entertainment Permit requires employee training and clear identification for their security staff. Councilmembers Hardy and Peterson expressed their opinions that including a security stipulation should be with the CUP rather than the Entertainment Permit because the CUP continues with the land. Police Chief Handy stated that including a security stipulation in the CUP rather than the Entertainment Permit would remove any flexibility that the Police Department now has, and in his opinion there needs to be further discussion on this issue with the City Attorney. Mayor Pro Tem Posey and Black Bull Operator Cesar Penyan discussed operating hours, and Mr. Penyan stated that restricted hours would eliminate the option to move forward with current plans because many holidays may actually not fall only on Thursday through Saturday. Councilmember Semeta confirmed with Mr. Bergsma that the staff recommendation to enclose the current outdoor patio area in conjunction with relocating the outdoor patio area is an acceptable recommendation. Mayor Delgleize and Police Chief Handy discussed the revocation hearing process, Black Bull’s responsiveness to requests for assistance, and how the Police Department believes operations will improve. Mayor Pro Tem Posey, Councilmember Semeta and Mr. Bergsma confirmed that the proposed outdoor dining (patio) will be established only after the removal of the existing outdoor dining site and expansion of the public sidewalks. Councilmember Brenden summarized that the applicant is agreeable to having a 1:30 a.m. closing on Thursday through Saturday plus any holiday or holiday eves, and closing on all other days at 10:30 p.m. for the patio, and midnight for the restaurant. A motion was made by Peterson, second Brenden to approve Alternate Action #1: Entitlement Plan Amendment No. 16-007 to amend Conditional Use Permit No. 06-020 to allow on-site sales and consumption of alcohol within a proposed 400-square-foot outdoor dining area adjacent to Walnut Avenue, and require compliance with all conditions of approval from City Council Resolution No. 2013- 24, Exhibit B, except Condition No. 1 and allow the restaurant to continue to operate until 1:30 AM, with findings and conditions of approval as amended to closing at 1:30 a.m. on Thursday through Saturday, plus any holiday or holiday eves and closing on all other days at 10:30 p.m. for the patio, and midnight for the restaurant; and to strengthen revocation language in Condition #6. Mr. Penyan spoke to alert Council that while Black Bull typically closes early, its current CUP allows them to remain open during the week until 1:30 a.m. and expressed opposition to the motion as stated. A substitute motion was made by Posey, second Brenden to approve Alternate Action #1: Entitlement Plan Amendment No. 16-007 to amend Conditional Use Permit No. 06-020 to allow on-site sales and consumption of alcohol within a proposed 400-square-foot outdoor dining area adjacent to Walnut Avenue, and require compliance with all conditions of approval from City Council Resolution No. 2013- Item 2. - 12 xs -20- Council/PFA Regular Minutes April 17, 2017 Page 13 of 16 24, Exhibit B, except Condition No. 1 and allow the restaurant to continue to operate until 1:30 AM, with findings and conditions of approval as amended to strengthen revocation language in Condition #6.

Item submitted by Councilmembers Peterson and Semeta referred to the Inter- governmental Relations Committee (IRC) meeting of April 26, 2017 – Approve a City position of Support on Legislation related to Pension Reform Councilmember Semeta stated that she and Councilmember Peterson are seeking the Council's support for a series of bills sponsored by Senator John Moorlach aimed at public employee pension reform. State level pension reform is required to solve the problem of rapidly rising pension costs, and programs that allow more flexibility at the local level are needed. Councilmember Peterson added that from his perspective the City's pension issues cannot be solved without some changes at the state level, and he is not sure that the proposed legislation will actually pass, but supporting these measures will send a message to Sacramento to ask for assistance. Mayor Pro Tem Posey stated that while he personally supports Senator Moorlach's bills, he has a problem with approving the item without involving the City’s Intergovernmental Relations Committee (IRC). He recommended it be presented to the IRC at their next meeting, and request they report with a date not to exceed 30 days from today, A motion was made by Posey, second Brenden to refer this Item to the IRC's April 26, 2017, meeting, and present recommendations to the City Council at their next regular meeting of May 1. Councilmember Brenden stated his support of the comments made by Mayor Pro Tem Posey. According to the Association of California Cities - Orange County (ACC-OC), only SB 32 is on their radar in a "watch" position, and none of these items are currently on the IRC agenda. Councilmember Brenden stated his personal support of them items, and also using the usual process. Councilmember Semeta expressed her understanding that several of the items are up for hearing on April 24th and therefore feels there is a sense of urgency and again stated the motion. A substitute motion was made by Semeta, second Peterson to approve a City Position of Support on Pension Reform pending before the State Legislature: Senate Constitutional Amendment 1 No Secure Choice Bailout, SCA 1 would prohibit California taxpayer funds from being used to fund the newly created California Secure Choice Retirement Savings Program or cover any potential unfunded liabilities; Senate Constitutional Amendment 8, California Rule SCA 8 gives the legislature and public pension systems the ability to adjust public employees' retirement benefit formulas on a prospective basis without impacting any benefits earned; Senate Constitutional Amendment 10, Pension Transparency, SCA 10 will prohibit public employers from increasing retirement benefits for their employees without two-thirds voter approval; Senate Bill 32, Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2018, SB 32 establishes the California Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2018 (PEPRA II) which continues substantial reform xs -21- Item 2. - 13 Council/PFA Regular Minutes April 17, 2017 Page 14 of 16 to California's broken public employee pension system began in 2012; Senate Bill 454, Retiree Medical Healthcare Reform, SB 454 will make reforms to retired state employee medical healthcare including requiring the Annual OPEB Cost be 100% funded; eliminate the Other Post-Employment Benefits 50/50 cost-share-split between the state and its employees, and require 100% of the benefit be paid by the state; and require all state employees to use the 80/80 formula for basic health benefit plan premiums; Senate Bill 681, Local Pension Control, SB 681 will give local jurisdictions the ability to leave their contracts with the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) for their employees' retirement plans without being excessively charged or penalized. Mayor Delgleize stated that she was at the last IRC meeting and the only reason these items were not on the agenda is because most of them are still in Committee, as Mayor Pro Tem Posey stated. These issues are not being overlooked or ignored in Mayor Delgleize's opinion. Councilmember Peterson stated he understands there is a process, and he thinks that as one of the larger cities in California it will help to step-up early in the game to show support for these items. Mayor Pro Tem Posey expressed support following protocol by allowing the item to be presented to the IRC. Councilmember Hardy shared that the IRC meeting is the proper place to discuss the pros and cons of these items and make a recommendation for the Council, which it can then approve or not. In her opinion there is nothing in this item that will change before the next IRC meeting or is an urgent issue that needs to be addressed at this Council meeting. Councilmember Hardy did voice her opposition to Senate Constitutional Amendment 8 which would allow cities to change public employees' retirement benefit formulas. Councilmember Brenden stated that in reviewing the Priority Legislation Report, it appears to him that only SB 32 and SB 454 are scheduled for initial Committee hearings on April 24. Most likely there will still be language changes to these bills. A substitute motion was made by Semeta, second Peterson to approve a City Position of Support on Pension Reform pending before the State Legislature: Senate Constitutional Amendment 1 No Secure Choice Bailout, SCA 1 would prohibit California taxpayer funds from being used to fund the newly created California Secure Choice Retirement Savings Program or cover any potential unfunded liabilities; Senate Constitutional Amendment 8, California Rule SCA 8 gives the legislature and public pension systems the ability to adjust public employees' retirement benefit formulas on a prospective basis without impacting any benefits earned; Senate Constitutional Amendment 10, Pension Transparency, SCA 10 will prohibit public employers from increasing retirement benefits for their employees without two-thirds voter approval; Senate Bill 32, Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2018, SB 32 establishes the California Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2018 (PEPRA II) which continues substantial reform to California's broken public employee pension system began in 2012; Senate Bill 454, Retiree Medical Healthcare Reform, SB 454 will make reforms to retired state employee medical healthcare including requiring the Annual OPEB Cost be 100% funded; eliminate the Other Post-Employment Benefits 50/50 cost-share-split between the state and its employees, and require 100% of the benefit be paid by the state; and require all state employees to use the 80/80 formula for basic health benefit plan premiums; Senate Bill 681, Local Pension Control, SB 681 will give local jurisdictions the ability to leave their contracts with the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) for their employees' retirement plans without being excessively charged or penalized.

Approved Item Submitted by Councilmember O’Connell – Request to have a CalPERS representative present information at a Study Session regarding Unfunded Liabilities and increased cost projections Councilmember O'Connell introduced this item by stating that it is obvious that CalPERS has failed in their California Constitution mandate to properly manage the public employee pension fund, and this failure hurts not only the City's employees, but also the Huntington Beach taxpayers who will ultimately have to foot the bill. Councilmember Peterson stated that the City’s Chief Financial Officer has already requested that a CalPERS actuary present information at a future Study Session. A motion was made by O’Connell, second Delgleize to request a CalPERS representative attend a Study Session to discuss current and future CalPERS obligations and the steps CalPERS is taking to enact legislative changes to address these ongoing fiscal concerns. Councilmember Brenden voiced his support for the concept, but asked if it would be appropriate to address the stated concerns at a regional level by partnering with neighboring cities through the Association of California Cities – Orange County (ACC-OC). Councilmember O'Connell concurred. Councilmember Peterson believes the place to start is here and now, and then push out to other cities. Councilmembers Posey, Brenden and Semeta voiced support for Councilmember O’Connell’s motion. City Manager Wilson stated that there is an Orange County League of Cities Pension Reform Workshop scheduled for May 3rd.

Details are in the back of the Evaluation Report. Mayor Delgleize asked if Mr. Worgan's presentation addressed options other than pre-paying Unfunded Liabilities for making up shortfalls. Mr. Worgan responded that for 2016, the projected salaries were higher than reality which in effect lowers the liability. Mayor Pro Tem Posey and Mr. Worgan discussed how many years at 9 or 10 percent returns that it takes to recover from a year that produced only .6 percent as addressed in one of the last slides of the presentation. They also discussed the approximately $3 billion loss in the portfolio (from 2000 - 2014 from tobacco stock divesture, as shown on the CalPERS website, and whether the Investment Board considers being "politically correct" when they evaluate investment options.

He also clarified that CalPERS is currently seeking $23M from the City of Huntington Beach to compensate for lower than expected investment returns. Councilmember Semeta and Mr. Worgan discussed the investment guidelines, especially related to social activism and permissible investments. Mr. Worgan stated that the represented agencies can participate in the discussions that the Board has every month prior to making their investment decisions to determine how much risk and volatility is appropriate. Councilmember Peterson and Mr. Worgan discussed that the rate of return will fluctuate depending upon which particular time-frame is being evaluated, i.e., one year, five years, or 30 years.

NO ACTION TAKEN on Item Submitted by Mayor Delgleize and Councilmember Hardy — Establishment of a Huntington Beach Community Foundation (FOUNDATION) Mayor Delgleize and Councilmember Hardy expressed their thoughts and reasons for establishing a non- profit Foundation for the City. They explained that raising funds and managing volunteers for projects such as park renovations, or building an aquatic center could be handled by a Community Foundation as the City does not have the resources to do these things. Residents are interested in giving back to their community, and community foundations ensure that donations are spent on the intended project. Several surrounding cities have a thriving Community Foundation. Mayor Delgleize explained that the Recommended Action has changed to direct the City Manager and City Attorney offices to conduct research and return to Council with recommendations, not prepare Articles of Incorporation and draft Bylaws as originally stated. Councilmember Peterson voiced his opinion that these types of efforts do not belong to any government entity, but should be handled by individuals, and he suggested that possibly the City's website could have a listing of local existing 501(c)3 organizations. Councilmember Hardy and Police Chief Robert Handy discussed the level of administrative support from the City for the Huntington Beach Police Officers’ Foundation. Councilmember Semeta shared her concerns about keeping a foundation independent from the Council and the real danger of it becoming political. She also questioned whether a community foundation could take funding away from smaller existing non-profits. Councilmember Brenden shared that from his perspective there are a lot of existing 501(c)3 non profits which can partner with new projects. He questioned the need and appropriateness for a city to sponsor a foundation and prepare Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. He also expressed interest in considering an alternate action. Mayor Delgleize clarified that the intent is not to create another governmental organization, but to set up a mechanism that will support local existing charities and provide a method of funding for worthy projects that may enhance City services. Councilmember O'Connell voiced his opinion that the effort is commendable, but politicians should not be setting up a foundation. Mayor Pro Tem Posey stated his support of the intentions, and he would have no objections to any member of the Council personally setting up a foundation for any cause that people are passionate about, but would not support an effort that appears to be political. xB -35- Item 2. - 27 Council/PFA Regular Minutes May 1, 2017 Page 12 of 15 Discussion ensued, and City Manager Wilson explained that the City is a 501(c)3 and occasionally does receive donations, such as for the 4th of July Board. Mayor Delgleize and Councilmember Hardy thanked everyone for the honest discussion for this item. 8. Item Submitted by Councilmember O’Connell Approved as Amended — Request for Performance Review of the overall Entitlement and Permitting Process Councilmember O'Connell reviewed some of the experiences community businesses and residents have had with the City's permitting process and stated that his goal is to utilize the services of a third party auditor to identify deficiencies and recommend solutions to provide organization-wide exemplary service. Mayor Pro Tem Posey and the City Manager Wilson discussed the comprehensive evaluation done in 2006 that resulted in changes, as well as three smaller evaluations. City Manager Wilson explained that the recommended actions not implemented from previous studies were cost prohibitive, and that the effort of this item is to establish an Ad-Hoc Committee to look at the previous studies and develop a scope of work. In response to Councilmember Brenden, City Manager Wilson confirmed that the 2006 evaluation cost approximately $70,000, and a similar evaluation today would be about $100,000. Councilmember Brenden stated that he would like to ensure that customer experiences be included in a new evaluation, as well as a review of any previous recommendations not implemented, and a review of the City’s fee structure. Councilmember Peterson suggested that the Ad-Hoc Committee meet just among themselves a couple of times to review the previous evaluations and fine-tune the objectives for a new evaluation before getting staff involved and bringing back to Council. He also stated his interest in serving on this Ad-Hoc Committee. Councilmember Semeta asked whether there needs to be not only procedural changes, but to also look at a marketing need to entice businesses to Huntington Beach. She expressed interest in serving on this Ad-Hoc Committee. Councilmember Hardy shared her recommendation that the Ad-Hoc Committee start by looking at all previous reports and practices from all departments, and also talk to other departments to become aware of other obstacles they might have knowledge of. She also feels these findings must be presented to Council before any money is spent. Councilmember Peterson and Mayor Pro Tem Posey stated their support for reviewing past reports and returning to Council with a more detailed recommendation before utilizing major staff time or expending money for an outside consultant. A motion was made by O’Connell, second Peterson to establish an Ad-Hoc City Council Committee composed of Councilmembers O'Connell, Semeta and Peterson who will work with staff to review existing reports conducted on department performance related to development practices and policies, and return to the City Council with a recommendation on where additional review is needed, and if the additional audit should be conducted by an outside consultant. The motion carried by the following vote: Item 2. - 28 HB -36- Council/PFA Regular Minutes May 1, 2017 Page 13 of 15 AYES: O’Connell, Semeta, Posey, Delgleize, Hardy, Brenden, and Peterson NOES: None 9. Item Submitted by Councilmember O’Connell Approved as Amended — Consider a Pilot Program utilizing organic pesticides in Central Park West Councilmember O'Connell introduced this item by explaining its importance to the families of Huntington Beach. He explained that he is open to expanding the pilot project if a majority of the Council agrees. Councilmember O'Connell further stated that if the Ocean View School District (OVSD) is using organic pesticides, in his opinion the City should respect that policy especially for the land the City is leasing from OVSD. Mayor Delgleize voiced support for the item. Councilmember Hardy and City Manager Wilson discussed a pilot program procedure that would report test results every three months to Council for a one year period, and if acceptable at program conclusion, expand it citywide. Councilmember Hardy and Public Works Director Travis Hopkins discussed the need to re-evaluate the product to be used. Councilmember Hardy suggested that a consultation with the City of Irvine, prior to choosing a product to use, be included in this item. Councilmember Semeta and City Attorney Gates discussed soliciting community feedback if the program is to be expanded citywide. Councilmember Brenden suggested that the item not be acted upon at this time so it can include product and treatment area identification, as well as costs. Councilmember O'Connell stated that he would like to see some action tonight, and would rather not postpone the item. Mayor Pro Tem Posey stated that he would like to see included in the motion a definition of organic vs. non-organic, and the risks and hazards of each. He also asked for scientific information to consider when evaluating the options. Councilmember Hardy stated that one statistic that she is aware of is that 30 percent less water is needed over time when using organic products and that alone, in her opinion, makes it worth proceeding. Councilmember Hardy also suggested that the two University of California Irvine professors who have professional knowledge of non-toxic vs. toxic products be invited to make a presentation either before, or in conjunction with the first staff follow-up report. Councilmember Peterson stated support for taking action on the item tonight, explaining that there will be reports and opportunities to look at other details in the future. A motion was made by O’Connell, second Hardy to Direct Public Works to perform an organic pesticide pilot project in Central Park West for a one year duration; provide updates to the City Council every three months; provide recommendations for updating the Integrated Pest Management Program utilizing the results of the pilot project; consult with the City of Irvine before selecting a pesticide product; invite pesticide experts to present information during a regular City Council meeting, and, consider opportunities to expand the project. xB -37- Item 2. - 29 Council/PFA Regular Minutes May 1, 2017 Page 14 of 15 The motion carried by the following vote: AYES: O’Connell, Semeta, Posey, Delgleize, Hardy, Brenden, and Peterson NOES: None COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS (Not Agendized) Councilmember Semeta reported attending the Association of California Cities - Orange County (ACC- OC) Pension Committee meeting to address pension reform.

Councilmember Peterson sadly announced the death of Barry Williams, and expressed condolences to his family. He described Mr. Williams as a huge voice for the City of Huntington Beach for many years with not only the 4th of July Committee, but many other committees and events. Mayor Pro Tem Posey reported attending Vector Control Advisory Board and Board of Trustees meetings, and the discussion that Huntington Beach is one of nine high-risk cities for both West Nile and Zika viruses with upcoming meetings to present Vector Control’s actions, and the Association of California Cities - Orange County (ACC-OC) Legislative Affairs Committee meeting where 16 or 17 legislative items were reviewed. Councilmember Hardy thanked the third graders at Peterson Elementary School for inviting her to speak, and she congratulated the Academic World Quest Team from Marina High School who won First Place in Orange County which allowed them to compete nationally in Washington, DC where they came in seventh.

CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 5/15/2017 SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members SUBMITTED BY: Fred A. Wilson ' City Manager PREPARED BY: Travis K. Hopkins ' PE ' Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution 2017-15 declaring the end of the Level 1 water shortage and returning to permanent water conservation requirements Recommended Action : Adopt Resolution 2017-15 ' "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Declaring the End of the Level 1 Water Shortage." Alternative Action(s): Do not adopt Resolution 2017-15 and remain at Level 1 of the Water Management Program. Analysis : After four years of drought ' water supply in the State has improved to where the Governor declared an end to the drought on April 7 ' 2017. Water content in the State's mountain snowpack is 164 percent of the season average and the State's major reservoirs are above normal storage levels. Additiona lly ' the State has announced it will allocate 85 percent of the State Water Project south of the Delta (100% north of the De lta)' compared to 60% in 2016 ' 20% in 2015 and 5% in 2014. Chapter 14.18 of the Municipal Code sets forth the Water Management Program for the City. The California Water Code ' documenting the need to conserve water and avoid or minimize the effects of water shortages ' allows public entities supplying water to adopt and enforce a program. The Ordinance was revised and updated in 2008 ' 2009 and again in 2015. The program is implemented in levels depending on the severity of the water supply situation at the time. If the severity of the water emergency increases ' levels which reduce demand more than the previous stage will be implemented. Unanticipated emergency water shortages may require immediate restrictive actions ' without progressive levels. xB -47- Item 4. - 1 Dept.

As Los Angeles bids on the 2024 Olympic Games, we believe Huntington Beach is the perfect "plug and play" location to serve as the "Surfing Village" to host the Surfing Summer Games. The highly anticipated announcement will take place on September 13, 2017 as to whether Paris or Los Angeles will host the 2024 Summer Games. MOTION: Approve a $10,000 contribution to the Huntington Beach International Surfing Museum for its "Surfing Circle of Honor = Celebrating Surfing In the Summer Games" in an attempt to break the Guinness Book for World Records for "World's Largest Paddle Out" and to demonstrate Huntington Beach support as the Surfing Village of the Summer Games. Cc: Fred Wilson, City Manager Ken Domer, Assistant City Manager Robin Estanislau, City Clerk Michael Gates, City Attorney Item 5. - 1 Hs -52- CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH City Council Interoffice Communication To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members From: Lyn Semeta, City Council Member Erik Peterson, City Council Member Date: May 8, 2017 Subject: CITY COUNCIL MEMBER ITEM FOR MAY 15, 2017, CITY COUNCIL MEETING — REVIEW OF REPUBLIC SERVICES CONTRACT FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT SERVICES STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Rainbow, or its successor entity, has been the City's official refuse collector since the late 1950s. Due to shrinking landfill space and higher environmental standards, the industry has become more and more regulated since the 1980s. In 1989, the State of California approved the California Integrated Waste Management Act (also known as AB 939), which mandated that local agencies divert 50% of their waste stream from landfills by the year 2000. In response to AB 939, the City adopted its Integrated Waste Management Plan (IWMP) wherein the primary method of the City's waste diversion would be provided by a Solid Waste Processing Facility (also known as a MRF or Materials Recovery Facility). The City's 1990 Refuse Collection Franchise Agreement with Rainbow Disposal called for the construction of a transfer station, or "MRF." At that time, the City approved an "evergreen" clause in that agreement (basically, a 15-year notice of cancellation clause) so that Rainbow would have a guaranteed revenue source to pay for the construction of the MRF. The last time the agreement was substantially revised was in 2006, but the "evergreen" term of the contract was left untouched. This 2006 contract amendment was just the latest in a long line of amendments to the City's Franchise Agreement with Rainbow. Now, Republic Services owns Rainbow Disposal. In addition to the undesirable automatic renewal "evergreen" nature of the term of this Franchise Agreement, the citizens of Huntington Beach pay a relatively much higher rate for services than do many other rate payers throughout the County. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Create an Ad Hoc Council Committee to include Council Member Peterson and Council Member Semeta to work with the City Attorney to begin negotiations with Republic to develop a new, streamlined, Franchise Agreement that will reflect waste management requirements under current State Law, contemplate the Waste Management Facilities current processes, and reflect better pricing and terms for the people of Huntington Beach. xc: Fred Wilson, City Manager Ken Domer, Assistant City Manager Robin Estanislau Michael Gates, City Attorney HB -53- Item 6. - 1 Item 6. - 2 HB -54- xs -55- Item 7. - 1 Item 7. - 2 xs -56-
