Meeting Date: 7/17/2017
Statement of Issue:
In 2009, the City Council began an annual strategic planning process to develop consensus on a
Mission Statement, Three-Year Goals, and corresponding Priority Strategic Objectives. In fulfilling
this process, the City Council met on January 26, 2017, to review and update the Three-Year Goals
and their Priority Strategic Objectives. At the February 21, 2017, City Council meeting, the City
Council approved the Strategic Objectives as developed at the January 26 off-site session. The
Final Six-Month Strategic Objectives Grid is attached and this item closes out the January, 2017
Strategic Planning effort.
Financial Impact:
None
Recommended Action:
Receive and File the Six-Month Strategic Objectives.
Alternative Action(s):
Reject the updates and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
On January 26, 2017, the City Council, City Manager, and Department Heads met in a public
meeting to update the three-year goals and to come to consensus on new Six-Month Strategic
Objectives. Since that time, Staff has provided the attached matrix with updated information on the
status of the Six-Month Strategic Objectives. At this time, the objectives are either completed, have
a completion date within the next month, will not be completed due to issues found during the
assessment phase or, are objectives that are considered on-going due to being incorporated into
the normal work process of the impacted departments.
The City will not meet for a Strategic Planning meeting in July. Instead, due to the need to focus on
long term budget issues, the City Manager’s Office and Department of Finance will coordinate a
Fiscal Sustainability and long-term Financial Planning meeting to better address the needs of the
City given its available resources.

Powers cities. Huntington Beach owns 56.1 percent of the system. The WOCWB is governed by
five elected officials from each of the Joint Powers agencies. Council Members Jill Hardy and Mike

HB -70-Item 9. - 9
Dept. ID FN17-013 Page 1 of 2
Meeting Date: 7/17/2017
Statement of Issue:
Each year the City records notices of special assessment against private property for the value of
unpaid civil fines, plus interest and penalties, pursuant to Ordinance No.3397 adopted by the City
Council on June 15, 1998. City Council approval is required in order to meet the filing deadline with
the County of Orange.
Financial Impact:
The total amount of assessments included in this action equals $1,473,396.04. Should these
special assessments be placed on the property tax rolls and subsequently collected, these monies
will be deposited in the General Fund in Fiscal Year 2017/18.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution No. 2017-36, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Certifying Special Assessments for Collecting Delinquent Civil Fines for Nuisance Violations of the
Municipal Code."
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the recommended action and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
In June 1998, the City Council adopted Huntington Beach Municipal Code Chapter 1.18 authorizing
the issuance of administrative citations that impose civil fines for violation of the Municipal Code of
the City of Huntington Beach. Pursuant to Section 1.18.150 of the Municipal Code, the City may
certify certain fines, interest, and penalties as delinquent and have them collected as special
assessments against the real property involved. These assessments are limited to property related
violations, wherein the fines exceed $250.00 cumulatively and are 60 days past due. In addition, all
hearing or appeal rights of the cited persons have been exhausted.
For each of the properties being considered for placement of a lien, staff verified that the owners
received proper notification of the violations, citations, notification of the outstanding fines and fees
due, and of the potential for placement of a lien on their property for non-payment of the
outstanding fines and fees. Property owners also received invoices for the outstanding fines and
fees and were provided the opportunity to make payment arrangements.

Certain administrative citations have been issued for such property—related
nuisance violations and civil fines imposed thereby have not been paid by the responsible

fines, interest and penalties may be recovered as such a nuisance abatement lien or
special assessment against the property of the responsible person who is the owner of the
property where the violations occurred; and
To compel code compliance, the City may seek to abate the nuisance and collect
the costs incurred by means of a nuisance abatement lien and/or special assessment
against the property where a property-related violation occurred as part of the nuisance
abatement procedures authorized by Government Code Section 38773.5; and
The City Council wishes to certify certain property-related nuisance abatement
fines, interest and penalties as delinquent and have them collect as special assessments
against the real property involved.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does
hereby resolve as follows:
1. The special assessments designated on Exhibit A, which is attached and
incorporated herein by this reference, are hereby certified as being delinquent civil fines,
interest and penalties owing to the City of Huntington Beach and qualified for collection
as special assessments under Section 1.18.150 C.

that these delinquent fines, interest and penalties are to be collected as special
assessments against the respective properties shown on Exhibit A pursuant to the

Dept. ID PD-17-004 Page 1 of 2
Meeting Date: 7/17/2017
Statement of Issue:
The Police Department has previously applied for and been awarded a grant through the California
Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (OES) to fund our Violence Against Women Program.
We are in the final year (calendar) of a three-year grant cycle with $99,798 of the total grant
package of $272,183 designated for CSP in 2017.
The City’s contract with CSP expired March 31, 2017. A new contract is needed to continue to
receive their services, remaining 2017 grant funds, and future funds when awarded.
Financial Impact:
None. Appropriation of funds is not necessary as the OES grant award includes all funding for CSP
to provide these services.
Recommended Action:
Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute “Professional Services Contract
Between the City of Huntington Beach and Community Service Programs (CSP), Inc. for Victim and
Witness Assistance Services.”
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The collaboration between CSP and the City has been in effect since 1998. Since the inception of
the Violence Against Women Project, Victim/Witness services have been continuously provided by
CSP advocates and funded through a series of grants. In Orange County, CSP is the implementing
agency for Victim/Witness and the only agency in the county that can provide the breadth of
services required.
Without this relationship, the Police Department would not be able to offer the current level of
services to victims of domestic violence. Approval of this contract will ensure we continue to
receive grant funding from OES to pay for this collaboration and continue to deliver the current level
of service to these victims.

Meeting Date: 7/17/2017
Statement of Issue:
In April of 2016, the City of Huntington Beach partnered with Westchester Bay HOA, Peter’s
Landing Marina, Huntington Harbour Marina, and OC Parks and applied for and was awarded a
grant from the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Measure M2 Environmental
Cleanup Program (ECP), Tier 1 to purchase and install Marina Trash Skimmer (MTS) units. These
MTS units will be purchased and installed in different locations within the waters of Huntington
Harbour to remove floating and partially submerged trash and debris as well as hydro-carbons from
the surface. The units will be purchased by the City and installed by the vendor. The MOU
between the City and the grant partners will formally authorize the installation and establish
maintenance responsibilities of the MTS units at the various locations for the next ten years.
Financial Impact:
The total projected costs for the City portion of the purchase, delivery, installation, and permit fees
for the three MTS units is $24,372. Funds are included in the FY 16-17 CIP budget in the following
accounts: General Fund account 10040314.82800 ($12,186) and Park Development Impact
account 22845001.82100 ($12,186).
Recommended Action:
A) Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute “Memorandum Of Understanding
Between the City of Huntington Beach and County of Orange for the Installation and Maintenance
of Marina Trash Skimmer(s) in Huntington Harbour;” and,
B) Approve and authorize Sole Source Justification.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not authorize the MOU and/or Sole Source Justification and direct staff with an alternate action.
Analysis:
The OCTA Measure M2 ECP, Tier 1 grant funding program is designed to mitigate the more visible
forms of pollution, such as litter and debris that collects on the roadways and in the catch basins
prior to being deposited in waterways and the ocean. The program enables eligible jurisdictions to

purchase and install structural best management practices such as screens, filters, and other
“street scale” low flow diversion devices to address these pollutants and mitigate the impact to local
water bodies.
In partnership with Westchester Bay HOA, Peter’s Landing Marina, Huntington Harbour Marina,
and OC Parks the City applied for and was awarded grant funding in the amount of $73,118. This
grant has a 25% match which is split with the County of Orange with each contributing 12.5%. The
City portion of the grant (12.5%) is $12,186 and is being paid from the Park Development Impact
account. The County of Orange will reimburse the City $12,186 which is their portion of the match
for the grant which is why $12,186 is being requested from the General Fund Account.
Marina Accessories is currently the only manufacturer of these types of units (Marina Trash
Skimmers) which are designed to remove floating and partially submerged trash from open waters
while attached to a floating dock. There are currently no similar types of devices in the market that
are small enough to attach to an existing floating dock and remove trash/debris along with
hydrocarbons with the efficiency and low operating costs of the MTS units.
Once purchased, delivered and installed at the pre-designated locations, the MTS units are
designed to draw in floating and partially submerged debris, such as plastics, bottles, paper, oil
sheens, and organic materials. The installation of MTS units in the Harbor will enable the City to
reduce the amount of trash and debris reaching the open ocean.
The MTS devices once installed will require weekly and quarterly maintenance. The weekly
maintenance will be conducted by the staff or approved contractor working on behalf of the grant
partners. Weekly maintenance includes removing the accumulated trash and verifying that the
units are operating properly. Quarterly maintenance which is more extensive and includes
replacing filters and routine maintenance on the intake pump system will be conducted by an
authorized vendor as contracted by Community Services Department.
The MOUs for Peter’s Landing Marina and Huntington Harbour Marina were previously approved
by City Council at the June 19, 2017 meeting. At that meeting, City Council also authorized to
expend grant funds in the amount of $73,118. Due to the fact that the purchase and installation of
the MTS units for this project exceeds $50,000, a Sole Source Justification (attachment 2) is
required.
The MOUs between the City and the grant partners establishes the responsibilities for the MTS
units once purchased and installed for the next ten years. The MOU will require the partners to
provide and pay for the electrical power to power the MTS units and conduct weekly routine
maintenance. The City will conduct the quarterly maintenance and perform other maintenance
such as replacing parts.

HB -131-Item 12. - 14
CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
Sole Source Justification
(For use on all goods and services acquisitions.)
Complete responses must be provided for all of the following items.
A. THE GOOD/SERVICE REQUESTED IS RESTRICTED TO ONE SUPPLIER FOR THE REASONS STATED BELOW:
1, Why is the acquisition restricted to this goods/services/supplier?
(Explain why the acquisition cannot be competitively bid.)
Marina Accessories is currently the only manufacturer of these types of units (Marina Trash Skimmers)
which are designed to remove floating and partially submerged trash from open waters while attached to
a floating dock. There are currently no similar types of products in the market that are small enough to
attach to an existing floating dock and remove trash/debris along with hydrocarbons with the efficiency
and low operating costs of the MTS units.
2. Provide the background of events leading to this acquisition.
The acquistion of these units is based on a grant throught the Orange County Transportation Authority
(OCTA) Measure M2 Environmental Clean-up Program Tier 1 grant program. The City and 5 private and
public grant partners were awarded the grant in September of 2016 to purchase seven MTS units to be
delivered and installed at 7 different locations within Huntington Harbour. These units will be located in
areas that tend to accumulate floating and partially submerged trash/debris and will enchance the
aesthetic and ecological benefits of the waters in Huntington Harbour by removing the accumulated
trash/debris and recirculating the stagnant water.
3. Describe the uniqueness of the acquisition (why was the good/service/supplier chosen?).
The City was approached by the management of Peters Landing Marina in 2015 in regards to applying for
and receiving grant funding from OCTA to install two units at their marina to address the continual
accumulation of trash/debris in hard to access areas of the marina. The City of Newport Beach and the
County of Orange had purchased and deployed MTS units in Newport Harbor and in Dana Point Harbor
and had found the MIS units to be a highly efficient and low cost means of removing trash/debris along
with hydrocarbons from the water.
4. What are the consequences of not purchasing the goods/services or contracting with the proposed
supplier?
The City would have to decline grant funds awarded in the amount of $73,118.
5. What market research was conducted to substantiate no competition, including evaluation of other items
considered?
(Provide a narrative of your efforts to identify other similar or appropriate goods/services, including a summary of how the department
concluded that such alternatives are either inappropriate or unavailable. The names and addresses of suppliers contacted and the reasons
for not considering them must be included OR an explanation of why the survey or effort to identify other goods/services was not
performed.)
Research online was conducted by department staff and no other similar product was found.
2 HB -132-Item 12. - 15
B. PRICE ANALYSIS
1. How was the price offered determined to be fair and reasonable?
(Explain what the basis was for comparison and include cost analyses as applicable.)
The price was determined to be reasonable and fair based on the material costs associated with the
assembly and delivery of MTS units.
2. Describe any cost savings realized or costs avoided by acquiring the goods/services from this supplier.

SECTION ONE: GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Project Description
Describe the project location and the Tier 1 type improvements proposed. If the project is included in an existing
Integrated Water Management Plan, please provide details on why it was included.*
The Huntington Harbour Marina Trash Skimmers Trash Removal project is located in Huntington Harbour in the
City of Huntington Beach. Huntington Harbour is a community of approximately 3,500 people located in the
north side of Huntington Beach in Orange County, California. Huntington Harbour is a residential development of
680 acres consisting of five manmade islands with waterways varying from 15 to 20 feet (4.6 to 6.1 meters) in
depth used for boating and other recreational uses. The five manmade islands in Huntington Harbour include:
Admiralty, Davenport, Gilbert, Humboldt, and Trinidad.
Huntington Harbour is the terminal point for storm water and urban runoff from various jurisdiction and
sub-watersheds and is prone to the discharge of pollutants that are conveyed by the storm water and urban runoff
discharging into its waters. The pollutants include oil/grease, trash, styrofoam, vegetation, and other floating or
partially submerged pollutants.
The Marina Trash Skimmers (MTS) units which are about 6 feet wide by 4 feet deep and similar in dimensions to
typical 3 yard refuse bins, are designed to attach to docks and float in the water. An electric motor is used to
power the unit which can intake about 300 gallons per minute. The water is passed through a filter which
removes sediment, trash, oil and grease, and dead marine vegetation. The MTS units are capable of removing
these pollutants whether floating and/or partially submerged which is unique to the MTS. Other similar water
skimmers only address floating pollutants.
The City of Huntington Beach has identified several locations within Huntington Harbour where these pollutants
tend to aggregate and which would be the ideal location for the placement of MTS units. These locations are
usually located in slow moving pockets that are often in private marinas or adjacent to private docks. The City
has partnered with some of these private marinas and Home Owners Associations to install MTS units on private
docks to address and remove the aforementioned pollutants and include the following private marinas and Home
Owners Associations (HOAs):
1. Peter's Landing Marina
2. Huntington Harbour Marina
3. Seagate Colony HOA
4. Tennis Estates HOA
5. Orange County's Sheriffs Station
The City has developed a partnership with these private entities to install the MTS units in locations where there
is very little tidal currents and where pollutants tend to accumulate. The City has received written agreements
from these project partners whereby the City would purchase and install these units and the private marinas and
HOAs will be responsible for the routine daily/weekly maintenance and electrical costs associated with operating
the MTS units. In addition to purchasing and installing the MTS units, the City would be responsible for the
monthly/quarterly maintenance of the units and any other non-routine maintenance operations as needed.

SECTION TWO: DETAILED PROJECT INFORMATION AND SCORING
1. Describe the need for the selected BMP(s), including nexus to transportation pollutants, and detail the benefits to
water quality the BMP(s) will achieve. (up to 15 Points)
The City's municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) includes storm drains, open channels, v-ditches and
over 1,800 catch basins. With a population of over 200,000 and an estimated 11 million visitors annually,
controlling dry-weather and storm water pollution is a significant issue for the City of Huntington Beach in
order to keep our local waterbodies free of pollutants. Of particular concern, is the discharge of pollutants to
Huntington Harbour from the City's MS4 and other storm water conveyance systems upstream of Huntington
Harbour which lie outside of the City's jurisdictional boundaries. Huntington Harbour is an environmentally
sensitive waterbody due to the connectivity to the Bolsa Chica Wetlands and pollutants including trash and debris
are transported from as far upstream as Anaheim to waters of Huntington Harbour and into the Bolsa Chica
Wetlands. The Huntington Beach Marina Trash Skimmer Project proposes installing MTS units at various
locations within Huntington Harbour to remove floating hydrocarbons and trash/debris from the water before the
pollutants are transported into Bolsa Chica Wetands.
Sources of pollution for this area include Pacific Coast Highway, surface streets, residential, industrial, and
commercial areas within the City of Huntington Beach and from upstream MS4s including the cities of Anaheim,
Buena Park, Cypress, Fountain Valley, Garden Grove, Los Alamitos, Orange, Santa Ana, Seal Beach,
Stanton,Westminster, and Orange County. This project will remove oil, grease, sediment and trash and debris
(styrofoam, fast food containers, plastic, cigarette butts, etc.) discharged into Huntington Harbour which is listed
as an impaired waterbody on the Clean Water Act 303d list.
The marina trash skimmers are similar in size to a three yard refuse bin (6 foot wide and 4 foot high) it will
separate and trap the above listed pollutants including the capture and removal of 100% of floating pollutants.
The marina trash skimmers would be located in areas that tend to have a high rate of accumulation of both
floating and submersed trash and debris. These prospective locations are typically not accessible via
conventional methods (i.e., small boat, outboard dingy) and therefore very difficult to clean on a routine basis.
These areas also have minimal circulation of water which can lead to odors and build-up of unsightly algae. The
marina trash skimmers would remove both floating and submersed trash and debris in these "pockets" as well as
circulate the water to prevent the odors related to the decomposition of organic matter and limit the algae blooms.
The MTS units will be located in private marinas and private docks owned and maintained by private Home
Owners Associations (HOA), private marinas, and Orange County Parks. The City has agreement letters from
the owners of the private marinas and the Boards of the HOAs to install the units on their property (please see
attached site map indicating locations) and to provide routine weekly maintenance of the units which consists of
removing the accumulated trash/debris. In addition to the routine weekly maintenance, the private marinas and
HOAs will pay for the electricity required to power the motor in the MIS units.
The equipment design and specifications are included in Attachment E.

The project is located in Huntington Harbour which is listed as a 303(d) (2012 List) impaired waterbody for lead,
nickel, PCBs, pathogens, copper, sediment toxicity, chlordane, and is the terminal point for several storm water
and urban runoff conveyance structures located within and outside the jurisdictional boundary of the City of
Huntington Beach. Huntington Harbour is within the Anaheim Bay-Huntington Harbour Watershed which has a
drainage area of 813 square miles in the southwest corner of Orange County and of which 16.2 square miles are in
Huntington Beach and is the discharge point for the East Garden Grove Wintersburg Channel, Bolsa Chica
Channel, Anaheim-Barber City Channel, Westminster Channel, and Sunset Channel. Storm water and urban
runoff discharged into Huntington Harbour from these storm drain conveyance structures have the potential to
flow into the adjacent Bolsa Chica Wetlands.
Although the specific point sources of the pollutants that Huntington Harbour is listed as impaired for are yet to
be determined, the MIS units are designed to remove the sediment, oil and grease, and trash/debris in the Bolsa
Chica Wetlands which could be a contributing factor to the degradation of the waters within the Harbour. These
wetlands which are an environmentally significant resource for Orange County and provide a rest stop for
migratory birds, including rare and endangered species and spawning habitat for marine invertebrates and
wildlife. Thus the removal of trash/debris, oil and grease, and other pollutants that would affect the viability and
ecosystem of the Balsa Chica Wetlands is a high priority for the City of Huntington Beach.
3. List the pollutant(s) that would be addressed by the proposed project and the source(s) generating those
pollutants. (2 points per pollutant and source; 3 points if the pollutant is on the 303(d) list for any receiving
waterways identified in Question 2, up to 16 points)
The pollutants targeted by the Marina Trash Skimmers are designed to remove oil, grease, sediment, floating
and/or partially submerged trash/debris, and dead marine vegetation. With the exception of the marine
vegetation, the source of the targeted pollutants the MTS units would address originate from individuals littering
from their vehicles, negligent pedestrians, businesses failing to maintain trash and debris around their facility,
improper yard waste disposal, and vehicle deposition from as far upstream as the city of Anaheim. The litter
consists of cigarette butts, plastics, styrofoam products, paper products, and green wastes all of which are
carried by wind or urban runoff from City streets into catch basins and into the storm water channels that
discharge into Huntington Harbour.
In addition to the upstream sources of pollutants, some of the pollutants including oil and grease are discharged
into the Harbour by boaters and other recreational users of the various beaches and private/public marinas and
boat docks within the Harbour.

SECTION TWO: DETAILED PROJECT INFORMATION AND SCORING (CONTINUED)
4. How effectively will the proposed project deal with the more visible forms of pollutants, such as a litter and
debris? (up to 10 points)
Due to the general construction of marinas and prevailing winds there is usually an area within each marina
where floating trash and debris naturally collects. These areas also tend to experience low flushing rates and, in
addition to trash, often accumulate other floating organic material (e.g. scum) that may further degrade water
quality. Marina employees often spend many hours a week with the laborious task of scooping trash out of the
water with a swimming pool net or similar device. The installation of marine trash skimming devices such as the
MTS is one way in which to intercept and remove trash and debris once it has made its way into Huntington
Harbour. The MTS units are specifically designed to alleviate pollutant loading of trash and debris in marine
environments by filtering the water through a filter at a rate of 300 gallons per minute. Most noticeably will be the
removal of floating eyesores such as trash, plastics, and organic material. Additionally, smaller plastics which are
harder to see and remove are also trapped within the unit. Oil sheen commonly seen in pockets with poor
circulation will be removed by oil absorbent pads located within the MTS units.
In addition to the removal of floating trash, dredging costs will be reduced as partially submerged debris that
usually comes to a rest on the ocean floor is instead removed. Marina maintenance costs may be reduced as,
instead of marina staff chasing around floating trash in boats, the MTS works 24 hours a day,7 days a week to
collect debris in one place for quick, easy removal. Additional benefits include water that is re-oxygenated as it is
cycled through the MTS and back into the surrounding waters, increase sea life in the area and reducing "dead
zones" common in marinas.
5. What other BMP types were considered for this project? Why was the proposed BMP chosen? (5 points)
Other similar devices on the market were considered but deemed not as effective as the MTS. The other devices
currently on the market only address floating trash and debris and do not have the ability to remove partially
submerged trash/debris nor the capability to remove oil and grease. The MTS also has the largest storage
capacity to collect trash/debris (over 100 gallons) before requiring maintenance. Another factor that was taken
into consideration in deciding to pursue the MIS was the long expected lifespan of the product which at 10-12
years is up to 3 times the expected lifespan of other similar products currently on the market.
Ease of maintenance and the ability to acquire replacement parts off the shelf was another factor that made the
MTS a better choice when compared to other devices on the market which had a limited source of replacement
parts.

SECTION TWO: DETAILED PROJECT INFORMATION AND SCORING (CONTINUED)
6. Provide information on proposed BMP perfomance efficiency and/or effectiveness, including pollutant capture,
storage capacity, flow capacity, etc. (up to 6 points)
The MIS will cycle upwards of 300 gallons per minute of water in optimal conditions (holding tank empty, motor
working correctly,etc). The top 1/4" layer of water is pulled into the main tank and can trap up 100+ gallons of
floating trash and debris. With the addition of an oil absorbent pad, oil sheen can also be captured for proper
disposal. A current estimate on the expected amount of trash and debris to be removed is hard to quantify;
however, cleaning records will be kept and City staff will be able to quantify (over time) the reduction of trash and
debris collected from the MIS units within Huntington Harbour.
7. Project Readiness: The project schedule will be reviewed by the evaluation committee to determine when the proposed
BMP will be operational following OCTA Board of Director's approval. Points will be assigned as follows:
<4 Months (6 points)
4 - 8 months (4 points) 8- 12 months (2 points)
>12 months (1 point)

8. Will the project provide any secondary benefits beyond water quality improvement (i.e., water-use efficiency,
public awareness, flood control, recreation, habitat, sustainability)? (up to 5 points)
The MTS works quietly 24 hours a day to contain unsightly floating debris, plastic and organic
matter, but also aids in improving water quality throughout the harbour by providing a continuous mixing of the
normally low flowing water. An absorbent bilge pad will also be installed to absorb oil sheen waste further
improving marina water quality. The removal of the targeted pollutants will prevent these pollutants from affecting
the inter-connected Bolsa Chica Wetlands which is an environmentally significant resource for Orange County
and provide a rest stop for migratory birds, including rare and endangered species and spawning habitat for
marine invertebrates and wildlife.
9. What is the methodology for measuring pollutant reduction before and after the BMP is implemented? How
frequently will monitoring and performance assessment occur? (up to 10 points)
To assess the effectiveness of the MIS units in the removal of targeted pollutants (oil and grease,
floating/partially submerged trash/debris) staff will document the condition of the locations where the MTS units
will be installed prior to installation. These areas tend to experience low flushing rates and, in addition to trash,
often accumulate other floating organic material and oily sheens that degrade water quality of the Harbour. This
requires marina employees to spend many hours a week with the laborious task of scooping trash out of the
water with a swimming pool net or similar device. Once the project is approved and the MTS units installed, staff
shall document the condition of these areas and the surround areas to assess the effectiveness in the remove of
the targeted pollutants.
In addition to the photo documentation of the pollutants pre-installation and post-installation of the MIS units, staff
will compare the trash/debris collected by the City's contractor in the main channels. The evaluation will compare
the amount of trash/debris collected by the contract service provider prior to the installation of the MTS units and
the amount of trash and debris collected after the installation of the MTS units during a calendar year (to account
for seasonal variations).Total volume of debris removed will be tracked and included in the City's annual MS4
Permit Performance Effectiveness Assessment report which is submitted to the Santa Regional Water Quality
Control Board in November of each year.

10. Provide an operations and maintenance plan for the lifespan of the proposed project. Include schedule of
inspections, cleaning, removal and disposal of pollutants, repairs, etc. (up to 15 points)
The MTS is a stationary unit which attaches to a dock or fixed location and uses a motor to cycle surface water
into its main storage tank, trapping any collected debris inside while circulating the skimmed water back into the
harbour. The roto-molded tank and parts have a 10 year warranty. The Water Circulation Unit (Kasco Motor) has
a 2 year warranty. The control panel (Keco Products) has a 3 year warranty. The City has received written
agreements from the private marinas and HOAs that require their staff to routinely inspect and maintain the unit
(s). At a minimum, the unit(s) will be inspected (and cleaned, if needed) on a weekly basis. As part of the written
agreements, the City will provide quarterly cleaning and servicing of the units which includes cleaning/servicing
the filters, adjusting the internal motor, inspection of the control panel, and replacing/servicing of other parts as
needed.
The pollutants will be collected and disposed of during the weekly maintenance services as conducted by the
private marinas and HOAs in refuse bins. It is not anticipated that the pollutants collected from the MTS units
during the weekly routine maintenance will require any special handling or disposal as the majority of the
collected waste will be common items such as plastic shopping bags, cigarette butts, wood debris, dead
vegetation, and other miscellaneous items. During the monthly and quarterly service provided by the City's
contract service provider, the oil absorbent pad will be replaced and disposed of properly.
11. BONUS: How many different Tier 1 type BMPs are currently installed within the local agency's jurisdiction,
excluding BMP's funded by previous ECP grants. (1 point per BMP type, up to 5 points)
The City currently has the following BMPs installed in the City: Automatic Retractable Catch Basin Screens, CDS
units (hydrodynamic separators), Stormceptors, Contech units, BioClean Round Curb Inlet Filters, and a modular
wetland system.
12. BONUS: Are local matching funds in excess of the 25% nninumum being proposed? If yes, at what percentage?
(.5 point for each 5% cash overmatch, up to 5 points) Note: overmatch bonus points can only be granted to
projects whose match is entirely cash, no in-kind services.
The City of Huntington Beach anticipates providing a total of $24,372.50 in matching funds. This includes a
commitment of up to $12,186.25 from the Orange County Parks Department. This commitment is approximately
12.5% of the anticipated cost of the proposed project of $97,490.

Dept. ID ED 17-17 Page 1 of 2
Meeting Date: 7/17/2017
Statement of Issue:
The City Council is asked to approve a Sales Tax Sharing Agreement with Surf City Auto Group II,
Inc. (Pete Shaver), for the development and opening of a stand-alone Jeep Dealership at 16701
Beach Boulevard. The Agreement will incentivize Surf City Auto Group II, Inc., to construct the car
dealership, parking structure, and other site improvements. The Agreement establishes that the
sales tax portion after the current base in gross car sales from Surf City Auto Group II, Inc. is
retained fully by the City. After the base is exceeded, the sales tax is split 50% to the City and 50%
to Surf City Auto Group II, Inc. ("Surf City"). The base sales tax will increase 1% annually.
Financial Impact:
The proposed agreement is revenue positive for the City. The new stand-alone Jeep dealership is
estimated to generate an additional $139 million in annual sales. The base sales tax received from the
new Jeep Dealership will 100% remain with the City. The base sales tax was derived by the current
Jeep sales at the combined dealership in 2016. Once the new dealership is completed and operating,
the base amount will increase 1% annually. The City will see an annual increase after the base of sales
tax generated. Based upon this estimate, Surf City Auto Group II and the City are projected to share
$783,975 each per annum.
Recommended Action:
A) Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute the "Sales Tax Agreement
Between the City of Huntington Beach and Surf City Auto Group II, Inc."; and,
B) Increase appropriation as revenue is received above the base to pay for City's share of the
Sales Tax Sharing Agreement; and,
C) Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute any additional documents required to further
the Agreement.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve Agreement and direct Staff as necessary.
Analysis:
Rick Evans owned and operated the Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (CJDR) dealership on Beach
Boulevard for 25 years. In 2013, Pete Shaver joined Rick Evans as owner of the CJDR dealership.

Dept. ID ED 17-17 Page 2 of 2
Meeting Date: 7/17/2017
The CJDR dealership operates out of a newly renovated facility at 16555 Beach Boulevard, as well
as the four-acre site at 16701 Beach Boulevard, owned by Rick Evans, due to the large volume of
new vehicle inventory. In addition, the CJDR dealership leases offsite parking for additional new
vehicle inventory.
Surf City Auto Group II, Inc. has the opportunity to add a stand-alone Jeep dealership at the site.
This will require a $3 million renovation to the current site to meet Jeep’s dealership image and
space guidelines and a $25 million parking garage, which will be constructed half on the site and
half on 16555 Beach Boulevard. Additionally, the Jeep dealership will be obligated to add 5,400
new Jeep sales over a three-year period.
Surf City Auto Group II, Inc. has requested to enter into the Agreement to assist in defraying the
significant cost of remodeling the dealership and moving the Chrysler, Dodge and Ram
components of the existing dealership to the 16555 Beach Boulevard site.
Operations of the new dealership are expected to generate significant sales activity, projected at an
average of $139 million a year for the first five years, and to increase sales tax to the City by
approximately $31,359,000 over the term of the proposed Agreement. The current assessed value
of the Site is $5,740,000 and it is projected that the value of the Site will have an assessed value of
$21,240,000, or a $15,500,000 increase. Increased property tax benefits the City was well as other
taxing entities (such as schools) based on the completed improvements.

If for any reason (including but not limited to reporting errors or other adjustments) the
aggregate amount of payments by the City with respect to that fiscal year is less than the
aggregate amount payable with respect to that fiscal year, the City shall pay to Surf City
Auto an adjustment payment equal to the amount of deficiency; if for any reason
(including but not limited to reporting errors or other adjustments) the aggregate amount
of payments by the City with respect to that fiscal year is more than the aggregate amount
payable with respect to that fiscal year, then the amount of the excess shall be applied
against the next payments due under Section 4.1, except that if any unapplied excess
remains after the Operating Period, Surf City Auto shall pay the amount of the unapplied
excess to the City upon demand.

notice that such obligation was not performed, it shall constitute an Event of Default;

#1 Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Dealership in California

June 14, 2017
Ms. Kellee Fritzal
Deputy Director of Economic Development
City of Huntington Beach
2000 Main Street
Huntington Beach, California 92648
Re: Sales Tax Sharing Agreement
Dear Ms. Fritzal:
As you know, for the past 25 years Rick Evans has owned and operated the Chrysler Jeep
Dodge Ram dealership on Beach Boulevard in Huntington Beach. I became his partner 4
years ago and since then we have grown the dealership such that it is now the #2
dealership in the United States. In 2015 and 2016, our CJDR dealership generated over
$300 million in taxable sales, and it provided over 250 well paying jobs. Our C.JDR
dealership operates out of a newly renovated facility at 16555 Beach Boulevard, but due
to the large volume of new vehicle inventory required to maintain its sales success, we
must also utilize the 4 acres Rick owns at 16701 Beach Boulevard (where Rick formerly
operated the dealership when it was only Chrysler and Jeep). In addition, we must lease
offsite parking for our new vehicle inventory. In short, we are very tight on space.
Rick and I have been presented with the opportunity to add a stand-alone Jeep
dealership, but this opportunity is expensive and will place constraints on our existing
CJDR operations unless we can obtain help from the City as detailed below. The
opportunity to add the Jeep stand-alone will require us to remodel 16555 at a $3 million
expense; we will be required to invest in expensive renovations to meet Jeep's
dealership image and space guidelines. Additionally, we will be obligated by the
agreement to add 5,400 new Jeep sales over a three year period.
In order to make the Jeep dealership opportunity viable, we ask that the City of
Huntington Beach provide our new Jeep Dealership with assistance. We ask the City to
make available to the Jeep dealership 50% of the City's share of the sales tax generated
by the new Jeep operations over the next 20 years. We believe this request to be in the
City's best interests because of the following benefits that the City will derive from
adding this fast growing new car franchise to its tax and employment base:

1. Estimated $3 Billion in 'new" taxable vehicle and parts/service sales over the next 20
years.
2. Increased local employment by adding new full-time employees in the Jeep
dealership.
3. Increased property values and property tax base.
In answer to the questions posed in your email:
1. The entity that will enter into the Sales Tax Sharing Agreement will be Surf City
Auto Group II, Inc., a California corporation.
2. The scope of the project will be to: a) acquire the stand alone Jeep dealership
and dedicate Rick's property at 16555 Beach Boulevard exclusively to Jeep and b) invest
to renovate that location such that it meets Jeep's image and facility requirements and
c) utilize the vacated Chrysler Drive to improve new car display and customer parking.
3. The Jeep dealership will go into 16555 Beach Boulevard.
4. The existing condition of the site: the dealership building is over 40 years old and
requires substantial renovation in order to meet Jeep's image and facilities guidelines.
5. The City's responsibilities will be to: Provide us with the 50% tax sharing
arrangement required so that we can afford to take this mutually beneficial, substantial
project on. We will be responsible for all other aspects of this project.
6. 16555 Beach Boulevard is currently assessed at a value of $6.5 million. We
believe the property will increase in value by at least $5 million as a result of the facility
improvements and the addition of the land resulting from the vacated Chrysler Drive.
7. Our investment will initially be $3 million to remodel. In addition, we will incur
costs to incorporate the vacated Chrysler Drive into our dealership operations, at a cost
$500,000. Last, increasing our infra-structure to support the business with a permanent
parking solution in the form of acquiring vacant land or developing 16555 with above
ground parking at an anticipated cost of$25 million plus. Our last renovation project
kept over 60 trades people busy with various aspects of the construction project.
8. We know we will be hiring a lot of people to help in our Jeep operations, but we
have not yet made those projections. I can tell you that our CJDR dealership generates
$300 million in taxable sales annually and employs 280 employees. We expect Jeep to
HB -162-Item 13. - 16
Ms. Kellee Fritzal
June 14, 2017
Page 3
generate $160 million in taxable sales annually, and based on size comparisons may
need as many as 70 employees.
10. We project taxable sales of $160 million per year in each of 2018, 2019, 2020 and
2021.
We operate a business that exceeds any other dealer in the area. Our numbers speak for
themselves. We are anxious to meet the City and design this mutually
beneficial financial plan. Thank you for your anticipated assistance on this exciting new
opportunity. Please let me know if you need any additional information.
Sincewly,
Pete Shaver

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SUBSIDY REPORT
PURSUANT TO GOVERNME NT CODE SECTION 5308 3
FOR A SALES TAX SHARING AGREEMENT
BY AND BETWEEN CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
AND SURF CITY AUTO GROUP II, INC.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 53083, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach must
hold a noticed public hearing and, prior to the public hearing, provide all of the following information in
written form and available to the public and through the City’s website regarding a proposed economic
development subsidy to be provided by the City pursuant to a Sales Tax Sharing Agreement by and
between the City of Huntington Beach and Surf City Auto Group II, Inc. (“Agreement”). Notice was
published on the City’s website for a public hearing to be held on July 17, 2017.
The purpose of this report is to provide the information required pursuant to Government Code Section
53083 in regards to the Agreement. This report shall remain available to the public and posted on the
City’s website until the end date of the economic development subsidy, as further described in Number
2 below.
1. The name and address of all corporations or any other business entities, except for sole
proprietorships, that are the beneficiary of the economic development subsidy.
The Agreement is with Surf City Auto Group II, Inc., who will construct, own and operate a new Jeep
dealership that will benefit from the economic development subsidy:
Surf City Auto Group II, Inc.
16701 Beach Boulevard
Huntington Beach, CA 92647
2. The start and end dates and schedule, if applicable, for the economic development subsidy.
If the Agreement is approved by the City Council, the start date of the economic development
subsidy will be on or around August 1, 2017 (or when the dealership opens) and the end date will be
no later than 20 years after the start date, on or around August 1, 2037. The economic
development subsidy will be paid quarterly, within 30 days of the end of each quarter.
3. A description of the economic development subsidy, including the estimated total amount of the
expenditure of public funds by, or of revenue lost to, the local agency as a result of the economic
development subsidy.
The economic development subsidy is equal to fifty percent (50%) of the sales tax revenue received
by the City from Surf City Auto Group II, Inc., after the existing base sales tax received by the City.
The existing base sales tax is defined as those Jeep sales for the City’s fiscal year 2016, which is
estimated at $1,681,797, and increased by 1% per year.
HB -164-Item 13. - 18
City of Huntington Beach 2 July 10, 2016
4. A statement of the public purpose for the economic development subsidy.
Rick Evans has owned and operated the Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (CJDR) dealership on Beach
Boulevard for 25 years. In 2013, Pete Shaver joined Rick Evans as owner of the CJDR dealership. The
CJDR dealership operates out of a newly renovated facility at 16555 Beach Boulevard as well as the
4 acre site at 16701 Beach Boulevard (Site), owned by Rick Evans, due to the large volume of new
vehicle inventory . In addition, the CJDR dealership leases offsite parking for additional new vehicle
inventory.
Surf City Auto Group II, Inc. has the opportunity to add a stand-alone Jeep dealership at the Site.
This will require a $3 million renovation to meet Jeep’s dealership image and space guidelines and a
$25 million parking garage, which will be constructed half on the 16555 Beach Boulevard and half on
the Site. Additionally, the Jeep dealership will be obligated to add 5,400 new Jeep sales over a three
year period.
Surf City Auto Group II, Inc. has requested to enter into the Agreement to assist in defraying the
significant cost of remodeling the dealership and moving the Jeep component of the existing
dealership to the 16701 Beach Boulevard site
Operations of the new dealership are expected to generate significant incremental sales activity,
projected at an average of $139 million a year for the first five years, and to increase sales tax to the
City by approximately $31,359,000 over the term of the proposed Agreement. The current assessed
value of the Site is $5,740,000 and it is projected that the value of the Site will have an assessed
value of $21,240,000, or a $15,500,000 increase.
5. The projected tax revenue to the local agency as a result of the economic development subsidy.
Projections indicate that, over the 20 year period of the sales tax sharing agreement, roughly
$16,058,000 in present value dollars in additional sales tax revenue could be received by the City.
Of this amount, the City would pay Surf City Auto Group II, Inc. approximately $8,029,000 in present
value terms.
6. The estimated number of jobs created by the economic development subsidy, broken down by
full-time, part-time and temporary positions.
The City anticipates the construction and operation of the new dealership will yield a minimum of 50
full- and part-time jobs and approximately 60 temporary new jobs during the construction.

Dept. ID HR 17-006 Page 1 of 2
Meeting Date: 7/17/2017
Statement of Issue:
The City and the Surf City Lifeguard Employees’ Association (SCLEA) have tentatively agreed to
enter into a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the period October 1, 2015, through
December 31, 2017.
Financial Impact:
Funding for the implementation of the fiscal items contained in the proposed Memorandum of
Understanding will come from the General Fund. The fiscal impact for FY 2016/17 and FY 2017/18
is estimated by Finance to total $105,832.
Recommended Action:
Approve the “Tentative Agreement” and the introduction of the proposed “Memorandum of
Understanding Between the Surf City Lifeguard Employees’ Association and the City of Huntington
Beach for the period October 1, 2015, through December 31, 2017.”
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the tentative agreement and the introduction of the proposed successor MOU for
SCLEA employees and direct staff to continue to meet and confer with the Association or utilize the
impasse procedures contained within the City’s Employer-Employee Relations Resolution.
Analysis:
Representatives for the City and SCLEA have been involved in negotiations for over 18 months and
have finally completed the meet and confer process with a tentative agreement on a proposed
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the period of October 1, 2015, through December 31,
2017. The negotiated items contained within the Tentative Agreement and proposed MOU is
comparable to other City Council approved MOUs during calendar year 2016. The majority of the
prior year negotiated MOUs contained a total of 4% in combined wage and benefit enhancements –
2% non-base building and 2% base-building modifications. This unit did not receive any negotiated
enhancements to compensation or benefits in 2016 and the majority of the unit are not enrolled in
the CalPERS retirement system, instead, those members pay 7.5% of their wages into a
supplemental system as an alternative to Social Security.

Deleted: 7
An employee who has retired from the City shall be entitled to participate in the available medical
insurance plans and the City shall contribute toward monthly premiums for coverage in an amount as
specified in accordance with this plan, provided:
A. At the time of retirement the employee has a minimum of ten (10) continuous years of regular
(permanent) City service immediately prior to retirement or is granted an industrial disability
retirement. Said service must be continuous unless prior service is reinstated at the time of his/her
rehire in accordance with the City’s Personnel Rules; and
B. At the time of retirement, the employee is employed by the City; and
C. Following official separation from the City, the employee is granted a retirement allowance by the
California Public Employees’ Retirement System.
The City’s obligation to pay the monthly premium, as indicated, shall be modified downward or
cease during the lifetime of the retiree upon the occurrence of any one of the following:
1. On the first of the month in which a retiree or dependent reaches age 65 or on the date the
retiree or dependent can first apply and become eligible, automatically or voluntarily, for
medical coverage under Medicare (whether or not such application is made), the City’s
obligation to pay monthly premiums may be adjusted downward or eliminated. Benefit
coverage at age 65 under the City’s sponsored medical insurance plans shall be governed by
applicable plan document.
2. In the event of the death of any employee, whether retired or not, the amount of the retiree
medical insurance subsidy benefit which the deceased employee was receiving at the time of
his/her death or would be eligible to receive if he/she were retired at the time of death, shall be
paid on behalf of the spouse or dependent(s) for a period not to exceed twelve (12) months.
D. Industrial Disability Retirees -Industrial disability retirees with less than ten (10) continuous years
of regular (permanent) service shall receive a maximum monthly payment toward the premium for
health insurance of $121. Payments shall be in accordance with the stipulations and conditions,
which exist for all retirees. Payment shall not exceed dollar amount, which is equal to the full cost
of premium for employee only.
E. Maximum Monthly Subsidy Payments - The payment amounts may be reduced each month as
dependent eligibility ceases due to death, divorce or loss of dependent child status. However, the
amount shall not be reduced if such reduction would cause insufficient funds needed to pay the full
premium for the employee and the remaining dependents. In the event no reduction occurs and the
remaining benefit premium is not sufficient to pay the premium amount for the employee and the
eligible dependents, said needed excess premium amount shall be paid by the employee.
All retirees, including those retired as a result of industrial disability whose number of years of
continuous regular (permanent) service immediately prior to retirement exceeds ten (10) years,
shall be entitled to maximum monthly payment of premiums by the City for each year of
completed City service as follows:

-43-
Deleted: 5
Deleted: 17
Permanent, full-time employees shall accrue annual vacations or sick leave at their appropriate assigned
work schedule rate, either 40-hour or 56-hour workweek. The actual accrual, as reflected on their
payroll check will also reflect their actual work schedule. In the event of a change in work schedules,
personnel will have their accrual rate (Constant) and actual accrual (Accrued) change to the new
schedule using the conversion factor, .7143. Paychecks will reflect the accrual rate based on the actual
work schedule, either forty (40) or fifty-six (56) hour schedule. All maximum accruals will be modified
to reflect the proper number of hours, either 40-hour or 56-hour workweek.
EXAMPLE – CURRENT EXCEPTION
40-HOUR EXAMPLE
Paycheck stub shows 1000 hours accrued sick leave.
Employee uses 24 hours sick time.
1000 hours – 24 hours = 976 hours.
56-HOUR FIREFIGHTER PARAMEDIC
Paycheck stub shows 1000 hours accrued sick leave.
Employee uses 24 hours sick time.
1000 hours – 24 x .7143 = 17.1 hours = 982.9 hours
(This mathematical transaction takes place for each exception.)
EXCEPTION
ALL 56-HOUR PERSONNEL
Modify to 56-hour schedule - current accrued hours divided by .7143.
40-hour rate paycheck stub indicates 1000 hours sick leave.
1000 hours divided by .7143 = 1400 hours
1400 hours would be reflected on the employee’s 56-hour workweek paycheck stub.
56-hour schedule employee uses 24-hours sick time - hours are taken hour for hour.
1400 hours – 24 hours = 1376 hours remaining.

hearing. Unless objection is taken as provided in Government Code Section 11506, all
objections to the form of the accusation shall be deemed waived.

Statement of Issue:
The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 4078 on December 7, 2015, to incorporate increased
transparency in labor negotiations. The Ordinance, which became effective on January 7, 2016,
codified several transparency items including the posting of rejected proposals and counter-
proposals, costing reports, and set forth a process in which to adopt a Memorandum of
Understanding with an affected employee bargaining unit (Association). This item approves for
introduction Ordinance No. 4116, which upon its effective date, will repeal Ordinance No. 4078 in its
entirety and replace it with an amended Transparency Ordinance set forth as Chapter 2.71.
Financial Impact:
Not applicable.
Recommended Action:
Approve for introduction Ordinance No. 4116, "An Ordinance of the City of Huntington Beach
Repealing Chapter 2.70 Relating to Openness in Labor Negotiations and Replacing with Ordinance
No. 4116, Chapter 2.71 Relating to Openness in Labor Negotiations."
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve and direct the City Attorney to make changes.
Analysis:
On September 21, 2015, the City Council directed the City Attorney to draft a transparency in labor
negotiations ordinance that incorporated five (5) components as listed on a Councilmember item
submitted by Council Members Peterson and Posey. The City Attorney drafted Ordinance No.
4078 which was approved for introduction on November 16, 2015, adopted on December 7, 2015,
and enacted as of January 7, 2016.
Over the course of the last 18 months, the City has successfully operated under Ordinance No.
4078 and concluded Memorandums of Understanding with seven (7) of its employee bargaining
units. However, two associations filed Unfair Practice Charges (UPC) with the Public Employment
Relations Board (PERB) and one association filed a lawsuit in Superior Court. The two Unfair
Practice Charges and single lawsuit alleged, in part, that the City violated the Meyers-Milias-Brown
Act which regulates public employment practices.

SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Michael E. Gates, City Attorney

HB -251-Item 16. - 1
Dept. ID City Attorney's Office Page 2 of 2
Meeting Date: 7/17/2017
Through a mediated settlement conference with one association, the City agreed to amend the
Transparency in Labor Negotiations Ordinance along the following manner:
• Delete Section 2.70.070 (d) which required all compensation increases to be effective no
earlier than the beginning of the first full pay period following City Council adoption.
• Amend Section 2.70.040 (a) to create the concept of “rounds” thereby providing
simultaneous disclosure of rejected proposals/counter-proposals.
• Clarify that the City’s proposal and/or counter-proposal is to be posted online.
• Add Section 2.70.050 (c) to provide an Association a process in which to meet with the City
to discuss the methodology for costing proposals. Any such meeting shall not unduly delay
the reasonable progression of the meet and confer process.
In addition, based on the practical application of the transparency ordinance since it was first
enacted, Section 2.70.050 (a) was amended to ensure that cost reports for a specific round are not
posted prior to the actual round being posted. This amendment ensures that costing reports are
completed within the required 20-day timeframe, but only posted after the conclusion of a defined
round.
These new changes, along with all other parts of Chapter 2.70, will become, upon the effective
date, a new Chapter 2.71 and Chapter 2.70 as promulgated by Ordinance No. 4078, will be
repealed.

conferred with each of the City's recognized collective bargaining units regarding the terms and
details of Ordinance No. 4078 and amendments thereto; and

service and other methods of administering employer-employee relations through the
establishment of uniform and orderly methods of communication between employees and the
