Federal Funds Rate 10 -Year Treasury
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) met in June to discuss the current state of the
economy and to examine potential future interest rate hikes before year end. They concluded that the
labor market has continued to strengthen and economic activity has been moderately rising for the
first half of the year. Inflation is expected to remain below 2 percent in the near term but is anticipated
to stabilize around the Committee's 2 percent objective over the medium term. The Committee will
continue to monitor actual and expected inflation developments as the year progresses to determine
the timing and size of future adjustments to the federal funds rate.
In view of the realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation, the Committee decided to
raise the target range for the federal funds rate to 1.00-1.25 percent. The Committee continues to
expect that, "With gradual adjustments in the stance of monetary policy, economic activity will expand
at a moderate pace, and labor market conditions will strengthen somewhat further."
Fixed Income/Equity Markets: The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury finished the quarter at 2.31%,
down slightly from 2.40% from the previous quarter for a 3.75% decrease quarter over quarter. The
S&P 500 and the DJIA increased at 2.57% and 3.00% respectively for the same time period. In the
second quarter of 2017, equity markets continued to post strong gains to close out the quarter while
the bond markets slightly lagged behind. This increase in the equity markets may be partially
attributed to the continued growth of economic activity as compared to the slower pace seen in
second half of last year.
Employment: The U.S. gained 222,000 jobs in June with the largest increases in education and
health services, hospitality, business services and government. According to the labor department,
the unemployment rate decreased from 4.5% to 4.4% quarter over quarter as the economy continued
to expand and create new jobs. Over the past 3 months, job gains have averaged 194,000 per month.

better, per the City's investment policy and state of California regulations.
LAIF offers local agencies the opportunity to participate in a major portfolio with overnight liquidity
managed by the State of California Treasurer's Office. Please see http://www.treasureica.dov/omia-
laif/laif.asp for more information. LAIF has been utilized for the liquidity portion of the City's portfolio
as the yield received at this time is greater than that of similar liquid investments such as money
market accounts, short-term Treasury Bills, and commercial paper.

As is typically the case on an annual basis, monthly earnings decrease from July to December as
funds are utilized. Earnings increase from December through June with the receipt of property taxes.
As well, over the past year, interest rates have risen as the Federal Reserve has raised rates from
0.25-0.50% to 1.00-1.25%, offering the portfolio the opportunity to earn increased interest income.

The portfolio year-to-date earnings of $1,989,045 are currently 17.5% ahead of last year's earnings.
The effective rate of return on a monthly basis was 1.32% with a fiscal year to day rate of 1.26%.
Interest rates have been climbing as the Federal Reserve has increased the Fed Funds rate twice
thus far during 2017. This has allowed for the portfolio return to increase as older securities mature
and they are replaced with higher yielding investments.

CITY MANAGER’S REPORT

related to public safety and other information on the Fourth of July holiday weekend
Police Chief Handy discussed some of the successes and challenges the department faced during the

related to fireworks, compared to 407 calls related to fireworks last year. He explained that next year's
efforts will involve more advance work to identify illegal fireworks offenders, and indicated that keeping
Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) open throughout the fireworks event this year resulted in a more positive
traffic experience overall.
Mayor Delgleize, Councilmember Brenden and Chief Handy discussed the high level of neighborhood
fireworks activity resulting in more resident calls, keeping PCH open again next year, and early efforts
next year to uncover the increasing illegal fireworks channels.
Fire Chief Segura reported that calls for service (including Marine Safety) were higher this year than last.
He reported three injury incidents and two fires directly related to fireworks, 295 Marine Safety rescues,
9,620 preventative actions, and 45 medical aids over the holiday weekend.

Meeting Date: 8/7/2017
Statement of Issue:
On June 21, 2017, bids were publicly opened for the Well 9 GAC Filtration System Hydrogen
Sulfide Reduction Project, CC1392. City Council action is requested to award the construction
contract to Environmental Construction, Inc., the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
Financial Impact:
Funds in the amount of $650,000 are available in the Water Master Plan Account No.
50791029.82100, with a remaining balance of $2,010,000 to be appropriated from the
undesignated Water Master Plan Fund (507) balance, totaling $2,660,000 for construction contract,
ten (10) percent contingency, supplemental expenses, construction management, and inspection.
The cost of the construction contract and ten (10) percent contingency for award is $2,413,606.80.
The Orange County Water District (OCWD) is expected to fully reimburse the City for the total
project, design, construction and some maintenance, estimated to be around $4,400,000.
Recommended Action:
A) Appropriate $2,060,000 from the undesignated Water Master Plan Fund (507) balance to
Business unit 50791029.82100; and,
B) Accept the lowest responsive and responsible base bid submitted by the Environmental
Construction, Inc. in the amount of $2,194,188; and,
C) Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a construction contract in a form approved by the
City Attorney.
Alternative Action(s):
Reject all bids, or provide staff with alternative action.
Analysis:
Water Well No. 9 is located on Warner Avenue, east of Newland Street. The proposed treatment
system at the well site will reduce/remove odor caused by the presence of Hydrogen Sulfide. Since
increased pumping in this region is expected to improve groundwater quality over time, the OCWD
has directed their staff to prepare a financial aid agreement that will reimburse the City for all
project costs, including construction ($2,660,000), design ($540,00), pre-purchased tanks

from the OCWD is anticipated to be around $4,400,000. This project was identified in the adopted
2016 Water Master Plan.
Water Well No. 9 was originally drilled in 1981 with a design pumping capacity at 3,000 gallons-per-
minute (gpm). However, due to presence of subtle odor from dissolved Hydrogen Sulfide found
from this groundwater source, well production was intentionally reduced to operate at only 50
percent capacity, or around 1,500 gpm. Since this reliable water well has the ability to flow at the
design capacity of 3,000 gpm, it was deemed feasible to install an odor treatment system to
maximize the use of this well. Through in-depth analysis and pilot studies, the City’s Public Works
Department Engineering and Operation staff, with the help of local consultant, PACE, identified and
validated a low-cost natural treatment process using Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) filter media.
This process is unique in that it allows the native, naturally occurring bacteria found in the local raw
groundwater to be attached to the filter media which naturally consumes the dissolved Hydrogen
Sulfide. Based on pilot studies, filter media beds will gradually “clog” with solids so that monthly
backwash, using water for several minutes, is necessary to remove the build-up of solids.
Numerous pilot studies were performed using this treatment process consistently demonstrated that
this GAC odor treatment system removed dissolved Hydrogen Sulfide to a non-detect level. The
treated water will then be made potable through a standard disinfection procedure of adding low
doses of Chlorine and Fluoride. The primary components of the odor treatment system consist of
six large diameter steel tanks that will house GAC filter media.

The apparent lowest bidder, Carbon Activated Corporation, withdrew their bid proposal due to a
mathematical error where they inadvertently omitted overhead and profit costs for the overall
project. The lowest responsive and responsible bidder was determined to be Environmental
Construction, Inc. The experience was acceptable from reference checks for Environmental
Construction, Inc.
The engineer’s estimate for this contract was $1,800,000, which is within eighteen (18) percent of
Environmental Construction Inc.’s bid proposal for amount of $2,194,188. The total project cost is
estimated to be $2,660,000, which includes the construction contract, contingency, supplemental
expenses, construction management, and inspection. However, the City pre-purchased the six (6)
steel tanks for approximately $400,000 for the tanks since they have a long-lead time. In addition,
engineering costs to date have totaled approximately $540,000. Total cost for the project with the
pre-purchased tanks is estimated to be around $3,600,000.

proposed electrical upgrade improvement at the booster pump station is consistent with current
design practice to create redundancy for water reliability to the City. This project was identified in
the adopted 2016 Water Master Plan.
The existing pump station operates solely by natural gas. The primary objective is to modify the
existing pump station to accommodate new electrical motors for redundancy and increased water
reliability. This will allow City’s maintenance staff the ability and option to operate the station by
either electrical power or natural gas. Other improvements consist of a new transformer
pad/assembly from Southern California Edison, new electrical supply structure, Well No. 7
enclosure structure, pipe enclosure structure, motor control/security building, and a generator to
provide back-up power for lighting.
Only one bid for the project was received and was opened publicly on June 20, 2017.

Analysis:
The Engineering and Utilities Division coordinate the need for rehabilitation of existing sewer pipes
based on maintenance history and video inspection. The scope of work for the project includes
lining approximately 11,000 lineal feet of aged sewer main lines identified as a priority this year. The
locations would benefit from lining as the existing pipes are either lined with calcium deposits from
groundwater seepage through minor cracks and joints, or have joints offset by tree roots from
adjacent mature trees located on parkways. These deposits and roots, which inhibit flow, will be
removed prior to lining. Lining of the pipes is a trenchless operation performed by inserting a felt
tube inside the existing pipe and curing the liner to form a replacement pipe.

Statement of Issue:
The Community Services Commission has formulated changes to City Council Resolution No.
2004-90, relative to the naming of parks, park amenities, and facilities, and is seeking approval of
these recommended changes by the City Council.
Financial Impact:
Not applicable
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution No. 2017-25, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Establishing a Policy for the Naming of City Parks, Park Features, and Community Facilities and
Repealing Conflicting Resolutions.”
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the recommended action and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The Community Services Commission Park Naming and Memorials Committee met on February
22, 2017, and on April 5, 2017, to consider naming recognition opportunities for three local parks.
As part of their review of potential locations and various park features for name recognition, the
language in City Council Resolution 2004-90 was referenced. During their discussions, it was
noted that there were some conflicting sections in the resolution language relating to the naming of
park amenities, park features, and facilities.
When the park naming policy Resolution 2004-90 was last modified, the goal was to provide for
more varied opportunities for the naming of parks, park amenities, and facilities. It was believed
that the previous resolution language placed too much emphasis on past mayors, and excluded
others from the discussion of potential naming opportunities. At the time, certain sections of the
resolution were modified, but others remained unedited creating inconsistencies within the
resolution itself.
In addition to the inconsistencies shown in Resolution No. 2004-90, Draft Edits (Attachment 2), the
use of the word “concurrence” in Section 9 of the resolution could potentially create a situation
where the Community Services Commission and City Council do not agree on a naming

recommendation. This could result in the inability for City Council to make a final naming decision,
if their final motion is not consistent with the Community Services Commission recommendation.
In addition to the aforementioned corrections to the inconsistencies in the Resolution, at the June
19, 2017, City Council meeting, staff was directed by City Council to include language indicating
that if a park, park feature or other community facility is to receive a name with historical
significance, the City of Huntington Beach Historic Resources Board would be consulted. Based on
that direction, the Community Services Commission re-visited this issue at their July 12, 2017,
meeting and approved this direction by City Council.
The Community Services Commission is therefore recommending approval of Resolution No. 2017-
25 with the following modifications to Resolution No. 2004-90 in order to correct inconsistencies, to
require Historic Resources Board participation when appropriate, and to reestablish the City Council
final authority with regards to park naming:
1. First Paragraph – Add “and other park amenities” after “park play equipment.”
2. Section 1 – Add “and other amenities” at the end of the sentence.
3. Section 5 – Add, as a final sentence, “In addition, other individuals or other names
maybe proposed.”
4. Section 6 – Add “that if a park, park feature or other community facility is to be named
based on a finding of historical significance, in addition to review by the Community
Services Commission, the City of Huntington Beach Historic Resources Board will be
consulted prior to a recommendation from the Community Services Commission to City
Council.”

Analysis: The Park Naming and Memorials Committee met on February 22, 2017 and
on April 5, 2017 to consider naming recognition opportunities. As part of their review of
potential locations and park features for name recognition, the language in City Council
Resolution 2004-90 was referenced. During their discussions, it was noted that there
were some conflicting sections in the resolution language relating to the naming of park
amenities and facilities.
When the park naming policy resolution was last modified (2004), the goal was to
provide more opportunities for parks, park amenities and facili ties. It was felt that the
previous language placed too much emphasis on past mayor for naming opportunities.
As such, certain sections of the resolution were modified but, others remained unedited
which has creating inconsistencies. Additionally, the use of the word “concurrence” in
Section 9 of the resolution could create a stalemate of sorts if Commission and Council
didn’t agree on a naming recommendation. The language was therefore modified to
align with the process utilized by all recommendations from the Commission to City
Council. Should Commission approve of the modifications, staff will work with the City
Attorney’s office to prepare an updated resolution for Council approval.

MEETING DATE: JULY 12, 2017
SUBMITTED TO: COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION
SUBMITTED BY: JANEEN LAUDENBACK, COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR
PREPARED BY: DAVID C. DOMINGUEZ, FACILITIES, DEVELOPMENT AND
CONCESSIONS MANAGER
SUBJECT: PARK NAMING RESOLUTION UPDATE
Statement of Issue: There is a need for the Community Services Commission to
review and approve changes to Resolution No. 2017-25 as recommended by City
Council.
Funding Source: N\A
Recommended Action(s): Approve the modifications as recommended by City
Council and the City Attorney’s Office with the following changes:
1. Revise opening paragraph to read: “WHEARAS, it is desirable that appropriate
names be chosen when naming City parks, park features and community
facilities which in some instances recognizes donations of furniture and/or park
play equipment and other amenities, and that a policy be adopted by the City
Council to accomplish this purpose”. And;
2. Revise Section 1 to read: “That the policies contained in the Resolution shall be
instituted for the naming of the City’s parks, park features and community
facilities, and in some cases will recognize donations of furniture and park/play
equipment and other amenities”. And;
3. Include language in Section 6 to read: “That if a park, park feature or other
community facility is to be named based on a finding of historical significance, in
addition to review by the Community Services Commission, the City of
HB -106-Item 10. - 11
G-2-2
Huntington Beach Historic Resources Board will be consulted prior to a
recommendation from the Community Services Commission to City Council”.
Analysis:
On June 19, 2017 the Community Services Commission approved changes to
Resolution No. 2004-90 as recommended by the Park Naming and Memorials
Committee. Commission in turn sent the recommended revisions as Resolution No.
2017-25 to the City Council for review. Council reviewed the revisions at the June 19,
2017 meeting and concurred with the recommended changes. Council however, felt
there was a need to include the assistance of the Historic Resources Board (HRB) in
cases where park naming is based upon historical significance. The Council moved to
have the Community Services Commission approve adding language to the resolution
that would include review by the Historic Resources Board.
In the past, the Park Naming and Memorials Committee (PNMC) have requested the
assistance of the HRB. The HRB is also currently assisting with the naming of the
former Rodgers Seniors’ Center site at 17th Street and Orange Avenue. Their research
on the history of the site will assist the PNMC in forming a naming recommendation for
the site for Commission and Council approval.
Staff worked with the City Attorney’s office to draft language based upon Council
direction. As indicated in the Recommended Action 3, the following language was
added to Resolution No. 2017-25:
“That if a park, park feature or other community facility is to be named based on a
finding of historical significance, in addition to review by the Community Services
Commission, the City of Huntington Beach Historic Resources Board will be consulted
prior to a recommendation from the Community Services Commission to City Council”.
As part of their review, the City Attorney’s office also made minor language revisions to
the opening paragraph and in Sections 1 and 4 of the Resolution. These changes are
identified in the Recommended Action, numbers 1 and 2.

HB -107-Item 10. - 12
Dept. ID PW 17-035 Page 1 of 2
Meeting Date: 8/7/2017
Statement of Issue:
In compliance with Measure M (M2) funding eligibility, the City of Huntington Beach is required to
adopt an annual resolution approving a Seven-Year Measure M Capital Improvement Program
(CIP).
Financial Impact:
No additional funding is required for this resolution. Annual M2 local fair-share allocation is
approximately $4 million for the City and several projects are allocated grants through competitive
programs.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution No. 2017-33, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Adopting a Capital Improvement Program for the Years 2017/2018 Through 2023/2024 for
Compliance with Renewed Measure M Eligibility Requirements."
Alternative Action(s):
Do no adopt the resolution and forego M2 future eligibility. The action would result in the loss of $4
million for the next fiscal year, and the loss of allocated and potential grants for traffic and street
improvements.
Analysis:
M2 is a 30-year multi-billion dollar program extension of the original Measure M (1991-2011). M2
funds are generated from the transactions for sales and use tax, plus an interest on earnings. Net
revenues maybe allocated to local jurisdictions for a variety of programs identified in Ordinance No.
3. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) determines if a local jurisdiction is eligible
to receive M2 fair-share and competitive funds.
The City must satisfy certain requirements to maintain eligibility in order to receive funding from
OCTA. A key requirement is the adoption of a CIP. The CIP identifies all projects currently and
potentially funded by OCTA Funds.
Below are current projects that are funded by OCTA local fair-share or grants:

B. There has been adopted a countywide transportation expenditure plan,
referred to as the Orange County Transportation Investment Plan, dated July 24, 2006,
pursuant to California Public Utilities Code Section 180206 (“Plan”), which will be

SECTION 2. SUMMARY
The Ordinance provides for the implementation of the Orange County Transportation
Investment Plan, which will result in countywide transportation improvements for freeways,
highways, local streets and roads, bus and rail transit, transportation-related water quality
(“Environmental Cleanup”), and transit services for seniors and disabled persons. These
needed improvements will be funded by the continuation of the one-half of one percent
(1/2%) transaction and use tax for a period of thirty years. The revenues shall be deposited
in a special fund and used solely for the identified improvements authorized by the
Ordinance.
SECTION 3. IMPOSITION OF RETAIL TRANSACTIONS AND USE TAX
Subject to approval by the electors, the Authority hereby imposes, in the
incorporated and unincorporated territories of Orange County (“County”), in accordance
with the provisions of Part 1.6 (commencing with Section 7251) of Division 2 of the
California Revenue and Taxation Code and Division 19 (commencing with Section 180000)
of the California Public Utilities Code, continuance of the existing retail transactions and
use tax at the rate of one-half of one percent (1/2%) commencing April 1, 2011, for a period
of thirty years. This tax shall be in addition to any other taxes authorized by law, including
any existing or future state or local sales tax or transactions and use tax. The imposition,
administration and collection of the tax shall be in accordance with all applicable statutes,
laws, rules and regulations prescribed and adopted by the State Board of Equalization.
SECTION 4. PURPOSES
All of the gross revenues generated from the transactions and use tax plus any
interest or other earnings thereon (collectively, “Revenues”), after the deduction for: (i)
amounts payable to the State Board of Equalization for the performance of functions
incidental to the administration and operation of the Ordinance, (ii) costs for the
administration of the Ordinance as provided herein, (iii) two percent (2%) of the Revenues
annually allocated for Environmental Cleanup and (iv) satisfaction of debt service
requirements of all bonds issued pursuant to the Ordinance that are not satisfied out of

separate allocations, shall be defined as “Net Revenues” and shall be allocated solely for
the transportation purposes described in the Ordinance.
SECTION 5. BONDING AUTHORITY
“Pay as you go” financing is the preferred method of financing transportation
improvements and operations under the Ordinance. However, the Authority may use bond
financing as an alternative method if the scope of planned expenditures makes “pay as you
go” financing unfeasible. Following approval by the electors of the ballot proposition
authorizing imposition of the transactions and use tax and authorizing issuance of bonds
payable from the proceeds of the tax, bonds may be issued by the Authority pursuant to
Division 19 of the Public Utilities Code, at any time before, on, or after the imposition of
taxes, and from time to time, payable from the proceeds of the tax and secured by a pledge
of revenues from the proceeds of the tax, in order to finance and refinance improvements
authorized by the Ordinance.
SECTION 6. MAINTENANCE OF EFFORT REQUIREMENTS
It is the intent of the Legislature and the Authority that the Net Revenues allocated to
a jurisdiction pursuant to the Ordinance for street and road projects shall be used to
supplement existing local discretionary funds being used for transportation improvements.
Each jurisdiction is hereby required to annually maintain as a minimum no less than the
maintenance of effort amount of local discretionary funds required to be expended by the
jurisdiction for local street and road purposes pursuant to the current Ordinance No. 2 for
Fiscal Year 2010-2011. The maintenance of effort level for each jurisdiction as determined
through this process shall be adjusted effective July 1, 2014 and every three fiscal years
thereafter in an amount equal to the percentage change for the Construction Cost Index
compiled by Caltrans for the immediately preceding three calendar years, providing that
any percentage increase in the maintenance of effort level based on this adjustment shall
not exceed the percentage increase in the growth rate in the jurisdiction’s general fund
revenues over the same time period. The Authority shall not allocate any Net Revenues to
any jurisdiction for any fiscal year until that jurisdiction has certified to the Authority that it

has included in its budget for that fiscal year an amount of local discretionary funds for
streets and roads purposes at least equal to the level of its maintenance of effort
requirement. An annual independent audit may be conducted by the Authority to verify that
the maintenance of effort requirements are being met by the jurisdiction. Any Net
Revenues not allocated pursuant to the maintenance of effort requirement shall be
allocated to the remaining eligible jurisdictions according to the formula described in the
Ordinance.
SECTION 7. ADMINISTRATION
The Authority shall allocate Revenues to fund facilities, services and projects as
specified in the Ordinance, and shall administer the Ordinance consistent with the authority
cited. Revenues may be expended by the Authority for salaries, wages, benefits, and
overhead and for those services, including contractual services, necessary to carry out its
responsibilities pursuant to Division 19; however, in no case shall the Revenues expended
for salaries and benefits of Authority administrative staff exceed more than one percent
(1%) of the Revenues in any year. The Authority shall use, to the extent possible, existing
state, regional and local transportation planning and programming data and expertise, and
may, as the law permits, contract with any public agency or private firm for services
necessary to carry out the purposes of the Ordinance. Expenses incurred by the Authority
for administrative staff and for project implementation, including contracting with public
agencies and private firms, shall be identified in the annual report prepared pursuant to
Section 10, subpart 8, of the Ordinance.
SECTION 8. ANNUAL APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT
The annual appropriations limit established pursuant to Article XIII. B. of the
California Constitution and Section 180202 of the Public Utilities Code shall be established
as $1,123 million for the 2006-07 fiscal year. The appropriations limit shall be subject to
adjustment as provided by law. All expenditures of the Revenues are subject to the
appropriations limit of the Authority.

RENEW E D
Measure M Promises Fulfilled
On November 6, 1990, Orange County voters
approved Measure M, a half-cent local transportation
sales tax for twenty years. All of the major projects
promised to and approved by the voters are
underway or complete. Funds that go to cities and
the County of Orange to maintain and improve
local street and roads, along with transit fare
reductions for seniors and persons with disabilities,
will continue until Measure M ends in 2011. The
promises made in Measure M have been fulfilled.
Continued Investment Needed
Orange County continues to grow. By the year 2030,
Orange County’s population will increase by 24
percent from 2.9 million in 2000 to 3.6 million in
2030; jobs will increase by 27 percent; and travel
on our roads and highways by 39 percent. Without
continued investment average morning rush hour
speeds on Orange County freeways will fall by
31 percent and on major streets by 32 percent.
Responding to this continued growth and broad
support for investment in Orange County’s
transportation system, the Orange County
Transportation Authority considered the
transportation projects and programs that would be
possible if Measure M were renewed. The Authority,
together with the 34 cities of Orange County, the
Orange County Board of Supervisors and thousands
of Orange County citizens, participated during the
last eighteen months in developing a Transportation
Investment Plan for consideration by the voters.
A Plan for New Transportation Investments
The Plan that follows is a result of those efforts. It
reflects the varied interests and priorities inherent
in the diverse communities of Orange County. It
includes continued investment to expand and
improve Orange County’s freeway system;
commitment to maintaining and improving the
network of streets and roads in every community;
an expansion of Metrolink rail service through the
core of Orange County with future extensions to
connect with nearby communities and regional
rail systems; more transit service for seniors and
disabled persons; and funds to clean up runoff
from roads that leads to beach closures.
Strong Safeguards
These commitments are underscored by a set of
strong taxpayer safeguards to ensure that promises
made in the Plan are kept. They include an annual
independent audit and report to the taxpayers;
ongoing monitoring and review of spending by
an independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee;
requirement for full public review and update of
the Plan every ten years; voter approval for any
major changes to the Plan; strong penalties for
any misuse of funds and a strict limit of no more
than one percent for administrative expenses.
No Increase in Taxes
The traffic improvements detailed in this plan do
not require an increase in taxes. Renewal of the
existing Measure M one-half cent transportation
sales tax will enable all of the projects and
programs to be implemented. And by using good
planning and sensible financing, projects that
are ready to go could begin as early as 2007.
Renewing Measure M
The projects and programs that follow constitute
the Transportation Investment Plan for the
renewal of the Measure M transportation sales tax
approved by Orange County voters in November
of 1990. These improvements are necessary to
address current and future transportation needs
in Orange County and reflect the best efforts
to achieve consensus among varied interests
and communities throughout the County.
Introduction

RENEW E D
HB -138-Item 11. - 31
RENEW E D
The Renewed Measure M Transportation Investment
Plan is a 30-year, $11.8 billion program designed to
reduce traffic congestion, strengthen our economy
and improve our quality of life by upgrading
key freeways, fixing major freeway interchanges,
maintaining streets and roads, synchronizing traffic
signals countywide, building a visionary rail transit
system, and protecting our environment from the oily
street runoff that pollutes Orange County beaches.
The Transportation Investment Plan is focused solely
on improving the transportation system and includes
tough taxpayer safeguards, including a Taxpayer
Oversight Committee, required annual audits,
and regular, public reports on project progress.
The Renewed Measure M Transportation Investment
Plan must be reviewed annually, in public session,
and every ten years a detailed review of the Plan
must take place. If changing circumstances require
the voter-approved plan to be changed, those
changes must be taken to the voters for approval.
Freeways
Relieving congestion on the Riverside/Artesia
Freeway (SR-91) is the centerpiece of the freeway
program, and will include new lanes, new
interchanges, and new bridges. Other major projects
will make substantial improvements on Interstate
5 (I-5) in southern Orange County and the San
Diego Freeway (I-405) in western Orange County.
The notorious Orange Crush — the intersection of
the I-5, the Garden Grove Freeway (SR-22) and the
Orange Freeway (SR-57) near Angel Stadium — will
be improved and upgraded. Under the Plan, major
traffic chokepoints on almost every Orange County
freeway will be remedied. Improving Orange
County freeways will be the greatest investment
in the Renewed Measure M program: Forty-
three percent of net revenues, or $4.871 billion,
will be invested in new freeway construction.
Streets and Roads
More than 6,500 lane miles of aging streets and roads
will need repair, rejuvenation and improvement.
City streets and county roads need to be maintained
regularly and potholes have to be filled quickly.
Thirty-two percent of net revenue from the Renewed
Measure M Transportation Investment Plan, or
$3.625 billion, will be devoted to fixing potholes,
improving intersections, synchronizing traffic signals
countywide, and making the existing countywide
network of streets and roads safer and more efficient.

Public Transit
As Orange County continues to grow, building a
visionary rail transportation system that is safe,
clean and convenient, uses and preserves existing
rights-of-way, and, over time, provides high-speed
connections both inside and outside of Orange
County, is a long term goal. Twenty-five percent
of the net revenue from Renewed Measure M, or
$2.83 billion, will be dedicated to transit programs
countywide. About twenty percent, or $2.24 billion,
will be dedicated to creating a new countywide
high capacity transit system anchored on the
existing, successful Metrolink and Amtrak rail line,
and about five percent, or $591 million, will be
used to enhance senior transportation programs
and provide targeted, safe localized bus service.
Environmental Cleanup
Every day, more than 70 million gallons of oily
pollution, litter, and dirty contaminants wash off
streets, roads, and freeways and pour onto Orange
County waterways and beaches. When it rains, the
transportation-generated beach and ocean pollution
increases tenfold. Under the plan, two percent
of the gross Renewed Measure M Transportation
Investment Plan, or $237 million, will be dedicated
to protecting Orange County beaches from this
transportation-generated pollution (sometimes called
“urban runoff”) while improving ocean water quality.
Taxpayer Safeguards and Audits
When new transportation dollars are approved,
they should go for transportation and transportation
purposes alone. No bait-and-switch. No using
transportation dollars for other purposes. The
original Measure M went solely for transportation
purposes. The Renewed Measure M must be just
as airtight. One percent of the gross Measure M
program, or $118.6 million over 30 years, will
pay for annual, independent audits, taxpayer
safeguards, an independent Taxpayer Oversight
Committee assigned to watchdog government
spending, and a full, public disclosure of all Renewed
Measure M expenditures. A detailed review of the
program must be conducted every ten years and,
if needed, major changes in the investment plan
must be brought before Orange County voters for
approval. Taxpayers will receive an annual report
detailing the Renewed Measure M expenditures.
Additionally, as required by law, an estimated one
and a half percent of the sales taxes generated, or
$178 million over 30 years, must be paid to the
California State Board of Equalization for collecting
the one-half cent sales tax that funds the Renewed
Measure M Transportation Investment Plan.
In this pamphlet, every specific project, program,
and safeguard included in the Renewed Measure
M Transportation Investment Plan is explained.
Similar details will be provided to every Orange
County voter if the measure is placed on the ballot.RENEW E D

HB -140-Item 11. - 33
RENEW E D
Every day, traffic backs up somewhere on the
Orange County freeway system. And, every day,
freeway traffic seems to get a little worse.
In the past decade, Orange County has made major
strides in re-building our aging freeway system.
But there is still an enormous amount of work
that needs to be done to make the freeway system
work well. You see the need for improvement every
time you drive on an Orange County freeway.
Forty-three percent of net revenues from the
Renewed Measure M Transportation Investment Plan
is dedicated to improving Orange County freeways,
the largest portion of the 30-year transportation plan.
SR-91 is the Centerpiece
Making the troubled Riverside/Artesia Freeway
(SR-91) work again is the centerpiece of the
Renewed Measure M Freeway program. The fix
on the SR-91 will require new lanes, new bridges,
new overpasses, and, in the Santa Ana Canyon
portion of the freeway, a diversion of drivers to the
Foothill Corridor (SR-241) so the rest of the Orange
County freeway system can work more effectively.
And there’s more to the freeway program than the
fix of SR-91 — much more. More than $1 billion
is earmarked for Interstate 5 in South County.
More than $800 million is slated to upgrade the
San Diego Freeway (I-405) between Irvine and
the Los Angeles County line. Another significant
investment is planned on the congested Costa
Mesa Freeway (SR-55). And needed projects
designed to relieve traffic chokepoints are planned
for almost every Orange County freeway.
To make any freeway system work, bottlenecks at
interchanges also have to be fixed. The notorious
Orange Crush Interchange — where the Santa Ana
Freeway (I-5) meets the Orange Freeway (SR-57) and
the Garden Grove Freeway (SR-22) in a traffic tangle
near Angel Stadium — is in need of a major face lift.
And the intersection of Interstate 5 and the Costa
Mesa Freeway (SR-55) is also slated for major repair.
Pays Big Dividends
Local investment in freeways also pays big dividends
in the search for other needed freeway dollars.
Because of state and federal matching rules, Orange
County’s local investment in freeway projects acts
as a magnet for state and federal transportation
dollars — pulling more freeway construction
dollars into the county and allowing more traffic-
reducing freeway projects to be built sooner.
Innovative Environmental Mitigation
A minimum of $243.5 million will be available,
subject to a Master Agreement, to provide for
comprehensive, rather than piecemeal, mitigation of
the environmental impacts of freeway improvements.
Using a proactive, innovative approach, the
Master Agreement negotiated between the Orange
County Local Transportation Authority and
state and federal resource agencies will provide
higher-value environmental benefits such as
habitat protection, wildlife corridors and resource
preservation in exchange for streamlined project
approvals for the freeway program as a whole.
Freeway projects will also be planned, designed
and constructed with consideration for their
aesthetic, historic and environmental impacts
on nearby properties and communities using
such elements as parkway style designs, locally
native landscaping, sound reduction and aesthetic
treatments that complement the surroundings.

stranded motorists and quickly clears disabled
vehicles out of the freeway lanes to minimize
congestion caused by vehicles blocking traffic
and passing motorists rubbernecking.
Currently Freeway Service Patrol is available on
Orange County freeways Monday through Friday
during peak commuting hours. This project
would assure that this basic level of service
could be continued through 2041. As demand
and congestion levels increase, this project
would also permit service hours to be extended
throughout the day and into the weekend.

Orange County has more than 6,500 lane miles
of aging streets and roads, many of which are in
need of repair, rejuvenation and improvement.
Intersections need to be widened, traffic lights
need to be synchronized, and potholes need to
be filled. And, in many cases, to make Orange
County’s transportation system work smoothly, we
need to add additional lanes to existing streets.
Thirty-two percent of net revenues from the
Renewed Measure M Transportation Investment
Plan is dedicated to maintaining streets,
fixing potholes, improving intersections and
widening city streets and county roads.
Making the System Work
Making the existing system of streets and roads
work better — by identifying spot intersection
improvements, filling potholes, repaving worn-
out streets — is the basis of making a countywide
transportation system work. That basis has to be the
first priority. But to operate a successful, countywide
system of streets and roads, we need more:
street widenings and traffic signals synchronized
countywide. And there’s more. Pedestrian safety
near local schools needs to be improved. Traffic flow
must be smoothed. Street repairs must be made
sooner. And, perhaps most importantly, cities and the
county must work together — collaboratively — to
find simple, low-cost traffic solutions.
Renewed Measure M provides financial incentives
for traffic improvements that cross city and
county lines, providing a seamless, county-
wide transportation system that’s friendly to
regional commuters and fair to local residents.
Better Cooperation
To place a higher priority on cooperative,
collaborative regional decision-making, Renewed
Measure M creates incentives that encourage traffic
lights to be coordinated across jurisdictional lines,
major street improvements to be better coordinated
on a regional basis, and street repair programs to be
a high priority countywide. To receive Measure M
funding, cities and the county have to cooperate.
The Streets and Roads program in Renewed
Measure M involves shared responsibilities — local
cities and the county set their local priorities
within a competitive, regional framework that
rewards cooperation, honors best practices, and
encourages government agencies to work together.

Regional Capacity Program
Description:
This program, in combination with local matching
funds, provides a funding source to complete the
Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highways
(MPAH). The program also provides for intersection
improvements and other projects to help improve
street operations and reduce congestion. The
program allocates funds through a competitive
process and targets projects that help traffic the most
by considering factors such as degree of congestion
relief, cost effectiveness, project readiness, etc.
Local jurisdictions must provide a dollar-for-dollar
match to qualify for funding, but can be rewarded
with lower match requirements if they give
priority to other key objectives, such as better road
maintenance and regional signal synchronization.
Roughly 1,000 miles of new street lanes remain
to be completed, mostly in the form of widening
existing streets to their ultimate planned width.
Completion of the system will result in a more
even traffic flow and efficient system.
Another element of this program is funding for
construction of railroad over or underpass grade
separations where high volume streets are impacted
by freight trains along the Burlington Northern
Santa Fe railroad in northern Orange County.
Cost:
The estimated cost for these street
improvement projects is $1,132.8 million.

Project
Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program
Description:
This program targets over 2,000 signalized
intersections across the County for coordinated
operation. The goal is to improve the flow
of traffic by developing and implementing
regional signal coordination programs
that cross jurisdictional boundaries.
Most traffic signal synchronization programs today
are limited to segments of roads or individual cities
and agencies. For example, signals at intersections
of freeways with arterial streets are controlled
by Caltrans, while nearby signals at local street
intersections are under the control of cities. This
results in the street system operating at less than
maximum efficiency. When completed, this project
can increase the capacity of the street grid and
reduce the delay by over six million hours annually.
To ensure that this program is successful, cities, the
County of Orange and Caltrans will be required
to work together and prepare a common traffic
signal synchronization plan and the necessary
governance and legal arrangements before receiving
funds. In addition, cities will be required to
provide 20 percent of the costs. Once in place,
the program will provide funding for ongoing
maintenance and operation of the synchronization
plan. Local jurisdictions will be required to
publicly report on the performance of their signal
synchronization efforts at least every three years.
Signal equipment to give emergency vehicles
priority at intersections will be an eligible expense
for projects implemented as part of this program.
Cost:
The estimated cost of developing and maintaining
a regional traffic signal synchronization program
for Orange County is $453.1 million.

Local Fair Share Program
Description:
This element of the program will provide flexible
funding to help cities and the County of Orange keep
up with the rising cost of repairing the aging street
system. In addition, cities can use these funds for
other local transportation needs such as residential
street projects, traffic and pedestrian safety near
schools, signal priority for emergency vehicles, etc.
This program is intended to augment, rather than
replace, existing transportation expenditures
and therefore cities must meet the following
requirements to receive the funds.
1. Continue to invest General Fund monies
(or other local discretionary monies) for
transportation and annually increase this
commitment to keep pace with inflation.
2. Agree to use Measure M funds for
transportation purposes only, subject
to full repayment and a loss of funding
eligibility for five years for any misuse.
3. Agree to separate accounting for Measure
M funds and annual reporting on
actual Measure M expenditures.
4. Develop and maintain a Pavement
Management Program to ensure timely
street maintenance and submit regular
public reports on the condition of streets.
5. Annually submit a six-year Capital Improvement
Program and commit to spend Measure
M funds within three years of receipt.
6. Agree to assess traffic impacts of new
development and require that new
development pay a fair share of any
necessary transportation improvements.
7. Agree to plan, build and operate major
streets consistent with the countywide
Master Plan of Arterial Highways to ensure
efficient traffic flow across city boundaries.
8. Participate in Traffic Forums with neighboring
jurisdictions to facilitate the implementation and
maintenance of traffic signal synchronization
programs and projects. This requires cities to
balance local traffic policies with neighboring
cities — for selected streets — to promote
more efficient traffic circulation overall.
9. Agree to consider land use planning
strategies that are transit-friendly,
support alternative transportation modes
including bike and pedestrian access and
reduce reliance on the automobile.
The funds under this program are distributed to
cities and the County of Orange by formula once
the cities have fulfilled the above requirements. The
formula will account for population, street mileage
and amount of sales tax collected in each jurisdiction.
Cost:
The estimated cost for this program for
thirty years is $2,039.1 million.

RENEW E D RENEW E DTransit Overview
Building streets, roads and freeways helps fix
today’s traffic problems. Building a visionary transit
system that is safe, clean and convenient focuses
on Orange County’s transportation future.
Twenty-five percent of net revenues from the
Renewed Measure M Transportation Investment
Plan is allocated towards building and improving
rail and bus transportation in Orange County.
Approximately twenty percent of the Renewed
Measure M funds is allocated to developing a creative
countywide transit program and five percent of
the revenues will be used to enhance programs for
senior citizens and for targeted, localized bus service.
All transit expenditures must be consistent with
the safeguards and audit provisions of the Plan.
A New Transit Vision
The key element of the Renewed Measure M transit
program is improving the 100-year old Santa Fe
rail line, known today as the Los Angeles/San
Diego (LOSSAN) rail corridor, through the heart
of the county. Then, by using this well-established,
operational commuter rail system as a platform for
future growth, existing rail stations will be developed
into regional transportation hubs that can serve as
regional transportation gateways or the centerpiece
of local transportation services. A series of new, well-
coordinated, flexible transportation systems, each
one customized to the unique transportation vision
the station serves, will be developed. Creativity
and good financial sense will be encouraged.
Partnerships will be promoted. Transportation
solutions for each transportation hub can range
from monorails to local mini-bus systems to new
technologies. Fresh thinking will be rewarded.
The new, localized transit programs will bring
competition to local transportation planning,
creating a marketplace of transportation ideas where
the best ideas emerge and compete for funding. The
plan is to encourage civic entrepreneurship and
stimulate private involvement and investment.
Transit Investment Criteria
The guiding principles for all transit investments
are value, safety, convenience and reliability. Each
local transit vision will be evaluated against clear
criteria, such as congestion relief, cost-effectiveness,
readiness, connectivity, and a sound operating plan.
In terms of bus services, more specialized transit
services, including improved van services and
reduced fares for senior citizens and people with
disabilities, will be provided. Safety at key bus stops
will be improved. And a network of community-
based, mini-bus services will be developed in
areas outside of the central county rail corridor.

project will establish a competitive program for local
jurisdictions to broaden the reach of the rail system
to other activity centers and communities. Proposals
for extensions must be developed and supported
by local jurisdictions and will be evaluated against
well-defined and well-known criteria as follows:
• Traffic congestion relief
• Project readiness, with priority given
to projects that can be implemented
within the first five years of the Plan
• Local funding commitments and
the availability of right-of-way
• Proven ability to attract other financial
partners, both public and private
• Cost-effectiveness
• Proximity to jobs and population centers
• Regional as well as local benefits
• Ease and simplicity of connections
• Compatible, approved land uses
• Safe and modern technology
• A sound, long-term operating plan
This project shall not be used to fund transit
routes that are not directly connected to or that
would be redundant to the core rail service on
the Metrolink corridor. The emphasis shall be
on expanding access to the core rail system and
on establishing connections to communities and
major activity centers that are not immediately
adjacent to the Metrolink corridor. It is intended

Every day, more than 70 million gallons of oily
pollution, litter, and dirty contamination washes
off streets, roads and freeways and pours onto
Orange County waterways and beaches. When
it rains, the transportation-generated pollution
increases tenfold, contributing to the increasing
number of beach closures and environmental
hazards along the Orange County coast.
Prior to allocation of funds for freeway, street and
transit projects, two percent of gross revenues
from the Renewed Measure M Transportation
Investment Plan is set aside to protect Orange
County beaches from transportation-generated
pollution (sometimes called “urban runoff”)
and improving ocean water quality.
Countywide Competitive Program
Measure M Environmental Cleanup funds will
be used on a countywide, competitive basis
to meet federal Clean Water Act standards for
controlling transportation-generated pollution by
funding nationally recognized Best Management
Practices, such as catch basins with state-of-
the-art biofiltration systems; or special roadside
landscaping systems called bioswales that filter
oil runoff from streets, roads and freeways.
The environmental cleanup program is designed to
supplement, not supplant, existing transportation-
related water quality programs. This clean-up
program must improve, and not replace, existing
pollution reduction efforts by cities, the county,
and special districts. Funds will be awarded
to the highest priority programs that improve
water quality, keep our beaches and streets clean,
and reduce transportation-generated pollution
along Orange County’s scenic coastline.

Environmental Cleanup
Description:
Implement street and highway related water
quality improvement programs and projects that
will assist Orange County cities, the County
of Orange and special districts to meet federal
Clean Water Act standards for urban runoff.
The Environmental Cleanup monies may be used for
water quality improvements related to both existing
and new transportation infrastructure, including
capital and operations improvements such as:
• Catch basin screens, filters and inserts
• Roadside bioswales and biofiltration channels
• Wetlands protection and restoration
• Continuous Deflective Separation (CDS) units
• Maintenance of catch basins and bioswales
• Other street-related “Best Management Practices”
for capturing and treating urban runoff
This program is intended to augment, not replace
existing transportation related water quality
expenditures and to emphasize high-impact
capital improvements over local operations and
maintenance costs. In addition, all new freeway,
street and transit capital projects will include water
quality mitigation as part of project scope and cost.
The Environmental Cleanup program is
subject to the following requirements:
• Development of a comprehensive countywide
capital improvement program for transportation
related water quality improvements
• A competitive grant process to award funds to
the highest priority, most cost-effective projects
• A matching requirement to leverage
other federal, state and local funds
for water quality improvements
• A maintenance of effort requirement to
ensure that funds augment, not replace
existing water quality programs
• Annual reporting on actual expenditures and an
assessment of the water quality benefits provided
• A strict limit on administrative costs
and a requirement to spend funds
within three years of receipt
• Penalties for misuse of any of the
Environmental Cleanup funds
Cost:
The estimated cost for the Environmental Cleanup

When new transportation dollars are approved,
they should go for transportation and transportation
alone. No bait-and-switch. No using transportation
dollars for other purposes. The original
Measure M went solely for transportation. The
Renewed Measure M will be just as airtight.
And there will be no hidden costs in the program.
Prior to allocation of funds for freeway, street and
transit projects, one percent of gross revenues from
the Renewed Measure M Transportation Investment
Plans is set aside for audits, safeguards, and taxpayer
protection. By state law, one and one half percent of
the gross sales taxes generated by Measure M must be
paid to the California State Board of Equalization for
collecting the countywide one-half percent sales tax
that funds the Transportation Investment Program.
Special Trust Fund
To guarantee transportation dollars are used for
transportation purposes, all funds must be kept in
a special trust fund. An independent, outside audit
of this fund will protect against cheaters who try to
use the transportation funds for purposes other than
specified transportation uses. A severe punishment
will disqualify any agency that cheats from
receiving Measure M funds for a five-year period.
The annual audits, and annual reports detailing
project progress, will be sent to Orange County
taxpayers every year and will be reviewed in
public session by a special Taxpayer Oversight
Committee that can raise fiscal issues, ask
tough questions, and must independently
certify, on an annual basis, that transportation
dollars have been spent strictly according to
the Renewed Measure M Investment Plan.
Back to the Voters
Of course, over the next 30 years, things will change.
Minor adjustments can be made by a 2/3 vote of the
Taxpayer Oversight Committee and a 2/3 vote of
the Orange County Local Transportation Authority
Board of Directors. Major changes must be taken
back to voters for authorization. And, every ten
years, and more frequently if necessary, the Orange
County Local Transportation Authority must
conduct a thorough examination of the Renewed
Measure M Investment Plan and determine if
major changes should be submitted to the voters.
There are other important taxpayer safeguards,
all designed to insure the integrity of the voter-
authorized plans. But each is focused on one
goal: guaranteeing that new transportation
dollars are devoted to solving Orange County’s
traffic problems and that no transportation
dollars are diverted to anything else.

HB -164-Item 11. - 57
Taxpayer Safeguards and Audits
Description:
Implement and maintain strict taxpayer
safeguards to ensure that the Renewed Measure
M Transportation Investment Plan is delivered
as promised. Restrict administrative costs to
one percent (1%) of total tax revenues and state
collection of the tax as prescribed in state law
[currently one-and-one-half (1.5%) percent].
Administration of the Transportation Investment
Plan and all spending is subject to the following
specific safeguards and requirements:
Oversight
• All spending is subject to an
annual independent audit
• Spending decisions must be annually
reviewed and certified by an independent
Taxpayer Oversight Committee
• An annual report on spending and
progress in implementing the Plan
must be submitted to taxpayers
Integrity of the Plan
• No changes to the Plan can be made
without review and approval by 2/3 vote
of the Taxpayer Oversight Committee
• Major changes to the Plan such as deleting
a project or shifting projects among major
spending categories (Freeways, Streets &
Roads, Transit, Environmental Cleanup)
must be ratified by a majority of voters
• The Plan must be subject at least every ten
years to public review and assessment of
progress in delivery, public support and
changed circumstances. Any significant
proposed changes to the Plan must be approved
by the Taxpayer Oversight Committee
and ratified by a majority of voters.
Fund Accounting
• All tax revenues and interest earned must be
deposited and maintained in a separate trust
fund. Local jurisdictions that receive allocations
must also maintain them in a separate fund.
• All entities receiving tax funds must
report annually on expenditures and
progress in implementing projects
• At any time, at its discretion, the Taxpayer
Oversight Committee may conduct independent
reviews or audits of the spending of tax funds
• The elected Auditor/Controller of Orange
County must annually certify that spending
is in accordance with the Plan
Spending Requirements
• Local jurisdictions receiving funds must
abide by specific eligibility and spending
requirements detailed in the Streets & Roads and
Environmental Cleanup components of the Plan
• Funds must be used only for transportation
purposes described in the Plan. The penalty
for misspending is full repayment and loss of
funding eligibility for a period of five years.
• No funds may be used to replace
private developer funding committed
to any project or improvement
• Funds shall augment, not replace existing funds
• Every effort shall be made to maximize matching
state and federal transportation dollars

Statement of Issue:
In accordance with Chapter 8.16 Weed Abatement of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code, the
Director of Public Works shall submit to the City Council a cost report of the actual costs incurred for

Financial Impact:
A special assessment totaling $9,339.16 will be charged to the Orange County property tax roll and
reimbursed to the City’s General Fund by the County of Orange as part of the ordinary collection
process.
Recommended Action:
A) Adopt Resolution No. 2017-35, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Confirming the Report of the Public Works Director Regarding the Cost for Weed Abatement on
Private Property within the City for the 2017 Season;” and,

Alternative Action(s):
Deny approval of the resolution and forego reimbursement to the City for the cost for weed

the removal of weeds on private property. In accordance with Section 8.16.010 Removal Required,
"all persons owning any real property in the City are required to keep their property free from
weeds or other flammable materials that endangers the public safety by creating a fire hazard." If
a property owner does not remove the weeds or flammable materials by a prescribed time, the City
Council may order the Director of Public Works to do the work at the expense of the property
owner.
Pursuant to City Council direction on March 6, 2017, the City has cleared 22 such properties. The
cost of the work totals $9,339.16 as reported on the attached 2017 Weed Abatement Cost Report.

Financial Impact:
Funding for the proposed job classifications is included in the FY 2016-17 budget. No additional

Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution No. 2017- 37, “ A Resolution of The City Council of The City of Huntington Beach
Amending The City’s Classification Plan by Amending The Titles of Information Systems
Technician to Information Technology Technician; Information Systems Analyst to Information
Technology Analyst and Adding a New Job Classification of Senior Telecommunications
Technician.”
Alternative Action(s):

responsibilities, job knowledge, skill, ability, education, experience, and training for the named
classifications.

The Personnel Commission has considered and approved the following amendments to the City’s

Current Title Amended/Updated Title Exhibit
Information Systems Technician I Information Technology Technician I A
Information Systems Technician II Information Technology Technician II B
Information Systems Technician III Information Technology Technician III C

Information Systems Analyst III Information Technology Analyst III H
Information Systems Analyst IV Information Technology Analyst IV I
Senior Information Systems Analyst Senior Information Technology Analyst J
There were no modifications to the compensation of any of the classifications updated.
However, the associated salary schedule is required to be updated to reflect the new titles as
listed.
The Personnel Commission also approved the creation of the new classification of Senior
Telecommunications Technician. The Senior Telecommunications Technician was created as no
relevant current classification exists appropriately delineating the work required related to the City’s
telecommunications infrastructure.
The classification of Telecommunications Specialist (vacant since 2010) is outdated, and does not
properly reflect the work required to be performed. As well, the legacy classification is unsuitable
for future recruitment purposes. The compensation level of the Telecommunications Specialist is
inconsistent with pay for classifications with comparable duties and responsibilities within the
department. The new classification provides the opportunity for future salary savings of $10K at the
proposed hourly rate. The new Senior Telecommunications Technician classification comports with
the IS Department’s needs and the compensation is comparable to the Senior Information
Technology Technician.
Classification Hourly Salary Range
Telecommunications Specialist $38.63 - $47.86
Senior Information Technology Technician $34.10 - $42.24
Senior Telecommunications Technician $34.10 - $42.24
Personnel Rule 13-1 – Compensation Schedule-Policy reads:
It is hereby declared that it is the policy of the city that salary ranges shall be set for classifications
and not the individual who occupies a position in such classification; that the salary range for
each classification is based on the principle that like salaries shall be paid for comparable
duties and responsibilities; that the performance of the individual shall not be considered; and
that the compensation schedule shall not be used to take punitive or disciplinary action against any
employee or to reward any employee, or to circumvent the provisions of these personnel rules.
The addition of the Senior Telecommunications Technician classification to the City’s class plan will
not increase the department table of organization.

Dept. ID PW 17-040 Page 1 of 2
Meeting Date: 8/7/2017
Statement of Issue:
A License Agreement between the City and Miramar GP, LP (owner/developer) to provide
installation and maintenance of landscaping and landscaping improvements in the public right-of-
way is presented for City Council approval and execution for the Marriott Springhill Suites project at
7872 Edinger Avenue (at the intersection with Parkside Lane).
Financial Impact:
No funding is required for this action.
Recommended Action:
Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute and record the “License Agreement
Between the City of Huntington Beach and Miramar GP, LP, to Provide Installation and
Maintenance of Landscaping and Landscaping Improvements in the Public Right-of-Way” for the
Marriott Springhill Suites Project (Attachment 1).
Alternative Action(s):
Do not authorize execution of the “License Agreement between the City of Huntington Beach and
Miramar GP, LP to Provide Installation and Maintenance of Landscaping and Landscaping
Improvements in the Public Right-of-Way”, and direct staff accordingly. Absent this License
Agreement, the City would be responsible for the installation and maintenance of the landscaping,
landscaping improvements, and hardscape. This alternative action would result in increased future
maintenance costs for the City and will prevent the developer from satisfying the Conditions of
Approval for this project.
Analysis:
The Marriott Springhill Suites Project is located at 7872 Edinger Avenue; at the southeast corner of
Edinger Avenue and Parkside Lane. The project’s development requirements include the
construction and owner’s responsibility for future maintenance of landscaping and hardscape
improvements within the public right-of-way along its street frontages (at Edinger Avenue, Parkside
Lane and Aldrich Drive). The developer/owner is required to execute the appropriate landscape
maintenance agreement with the City for all landscaping, irrigation, street furniture, and enhanced
hardscape that encroaches into the City right-of-way along the aforementioned street frontages. In
addition to landscaping and irrigation, the agreement also addresses sidewalk cleaning, trash cans,

LICENSEE agrees to repair same at its own expense. In the event that damage is caused by the acts
of any person to any portion of the landscaped area or in the event any equipment is broken or breaks

or restored within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the breakage or destruction. Stolen items will
be considered destroyed for purposes of this Section 10.
11. REPAIR BY CITY. Except as otherwise provided for in this License, in the event any
damage is caused to any of the LICENSEE's Improvements within the Improvement Areas as a result
of the installation, maintenance and/or repair work performed by the CITY or its contractors, agents or
employees within the Improvement Areas, CITY shall promptly repair the same at its own expense.

expense, cause any mechanics' lien(s) which may be filed against the Improvement Areas to be
released or bonded or affirmatively insured within sixty (60) days after the date of filing of such
mechanics' lien(s). Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as consent on the part of the CITY
to subject the CITY's estate in the Improvement Areas to any mechanics' lien(s) or liability under the
mechanics' lien laws of the State of California.
14. ASSIGNMENT. The License herein granted is personal to LICENSEE and its successors

Notwithstanding the foregoing, assignment of the License to a LICENSEE affiliated entity or to a

shall not require prior approval of CITY. Other than the License granted hereunder, LICENSEE
hereby expressly waives any claim to or interest or estate of any kind or extent whatsoever in the
Improvement Areas arising out of the License or out of LICENSEE'S use or occupancy of the
Improvement Areas, whether now existing or arising at any future time. This License is appurtenant

shall include the mailing address of the delegee, and will become the delegee's address for service of
notices. LICENSEE hereby covenants for itself and its successors and assigns, that conveyance of

15. WORKERS COMPENSATION INSURANCE. Pursuant to California Labor Code §1861,
LICENSEE and its successors or assigns acknowledges awareness of Section 3700 et seq. of said
California Labor Code, which requires every employer to be insured against liability for workers'
compensation. LICENSEE covenants that it will comply with such laws and provisions prior to
conducting any activity pursuant to this license. LICENSEE shall maintain such Workers'
Compensation Insurance in an amount of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) bodily injury
by accident, each occurrence, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) bodily injury by disease, each

shall furnish to CITY a certificate of waiver of subrogation under the terms of the workers'
compensation insurance and LICENSEE shall similarly require all subcontractors to waive
subrogation.
16. OTHER INSURANCE. In addition to the workers' compensation insurance in Section 15
above and LICENSEE's covenant to indemnify CITY in Section 18 below, LICENSEE or its
successors or assigns shall obtain and furnish to the CITY and carry at all times incident hereto, on all
activities to be performed in the Improvement Areas as contemplated herein, general liability
insurance including coverage for bodily injury, property damage and motor vehicle coverage. All

insurance shall name the CITY as Additional Insureds and shall specifically provide that any other
insurance which may be applicable to all activities to be undertaken by LICENSEE concerning the
Improvement Areas shall be deemed excess coverage and that LICENSEE's insurance shall be
primary. Said policy of insurance shall pay on behalf of LICENSEE, its officers, agents, and
employees, while acting within the scope of their duties, against any and all claims of liability arising
out of or in connection with all activities to be undertaken by LICENSEE concerning the
Improvement Areas affected by the license. LICENSEE shall subscribe for and maintain said
insurance policies in full force and effect during the life of this Agreement, in an amount not less than
the following amount: combined single limit bodily injury and property damage, including
products/completed operations liability and blanket contractual liability, of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000) per occurrence. If coverage is provided under a form which includes a designated
general aggregate limit, such limit shall be not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). In the
event of aggregate coverage, LICENSEE shall immediately notify CITY of any known depletion of
limits. LICENSEE shall require its insurer to waive its subrogation rights against CITY.
17. CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE; ADDITIONAL INSURED ENDORSEMENTS. Prior
to conducting any activity pursuant to this Agreement, LICENSEE shall furnish to CITY certificates
of insurance subject to approval of the City Attorney evidencing the foregoing insurance coverage as
required by this Agreement; said certificates shall provide the name and policy number of each carrier
and policy; and shall state that the policy is currently in force; and shall promise to provide that such
policies will not be canceled or modified without providing notice to CITY in accordance with policy

17-5742/156444/DO 6
HB -278-Item 14. - 8
Agreement has expired or this Agreement is terminated. The requirement for carrying the foregoing
insurance coverage shall not derogate the obligations of LICENSEE under this Agreement. CITY or
its representative shall at all times have the right to demand a copy of all said policies of insurance.
LICENSEE shall pay, in a prompt and timely manner, the premiums on all insurance hereinabove
required. A separate copy of the additional insured endorsement to LICENSEE's liability policy as
required hereunder, naming the CITY as Additional Insureds, shall be provided to the CITY Attorney
for approval prior to the commencement of any work by LICENSEE pursuant to this Agreement.
18. INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS. LICENSEE hereby agrees to protect,
defend, indemnify and hold and save harmless CITY, its officers, and employees, and assigns

Dept. ID ED 17-13 Page 1 of 4
Meeting Date: 8/7/2017
Statement of Issue:
The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that the City conduct a
Public Hearing and approve the City’s Annual Action Plan in order to receive the entitlement grants
from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and HOME Investment
Partnership (HOME) Program. The approved 2017-2018 Annual Action Plan must then be
submitted to HUD no later than August 16, 2017.
Financial Impact:
There is no impact to the General Fund. The City will receive $1,033,767 in CDBG funds and
$411,664 in HOME funds for the 2017-2018 Fiscal Year. In addition, $1,100,000 in CDBG
Revolving Loan Funds will be also be allocated.
Recommended Action:
A) Approve the 2017-2018 Annual Action Plan for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) Program funds; and,
B) Authorize the City Manager to sign any and all applications and necessary documents for
federal assistance under the CDBG and HOME programs after review by the City Attorney.
Alternative Action(s):
Provide direction to staff to revise the 2017-2018 Annual Action Plan.
Analysis:
The City is eligible to receive CDBG and HOME allocations to fund programs and projects that
meet the Federal eligibility requirements. The Annual Action Plan (AAP) must be approved by the
City each year. It describes the activities and projects that would be funded with CDBG/HOME
program funds for the following year.
HUD has provided the City with written confirmation of its CDBG and HOME allocations for 2017-
2018. The 2017-2018 allocations to Huntington Beach are $1,033,767 in CDBG funds and
$411,664 for the HOME program. The 2017-2018 AAP is the third year of implementing its Five-
Year Consolidated Plan as required by HUD for receipt of CDBG and HOME entitlement grants.
CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
REQUEST FOR. CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: 8/7/2017
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Kellee Fritzal, Deputy Director, Business Development
SUBJECT: Approve the 2017-2018 Annual Action Plan for Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) Programs and
authorize the City Manager to sign the Application for Federal Assistance Funds
HB -287-Item 15. - 1
Dept. ID ED 17-13 Page 2 of 4
Meeting Date: 8/7/2017
CDBG-funded projects must meet one of the three (3) national objectives with 70% of funds under
the national objective of serving low and moderate-income populations, and must meet activity
eligibility requirements. The three national objectives are:
1) Benefit low and moderate-income persons;
2) Aid in elimination of slums or blight;
3) Meet an urgent need (primarily limited to disaster relief from flooding or national
emergencies, for example).
Funded activities can include public improvements, public services, special code enforcement in
designated eligible areas, economic development activities, or housing rehabilitation programs,
among others. If current or previous year projects are completed under budget in any given year,
funding may be applied to existing or future eligible public improvement projects. Funding for
program administration is limited to 20% of the City’s annual CDBG allocation. The administration
costs cover the many complex Federal recordkeeping, monitoring, reporting, and public
participation requirements. Administration funds are also used to provide $30,000 to the Fair
Housing Foundation to meet HUD’s requirement to provide fair housing counseling, education and
enforcement, and outreach services. The City also utilizes a portion of its administrative funds for
staff ($136,000) and $40,000 for public noticing and the use of an as-needed consultant to assist
with the Federal software and sub-grantee monitoring.
The Citizens Participation Advisory Board (CPAB) held two (2) public hearings on community
needs, reviewed project proposals, heard applicant presentations, and prepared recommendations
for 2017-2018 CDBG funding, as listed below. The recommendations were presented at a Study
Session with City Council on June 5, 2017. As the final allocation was slightly higher than the
estimated amount, the remaining funds available for public services and public facilities projects were
distributed to the Homeless Outreach Program, and the proposed Maintenance Zone 1 ADA
Improvements project. Both of those projects were recommended and prioritized by CPAB and the
City Council for additional funding, should it become available.
The City has successfully issued and administered Housing Rehabilitation Loans to qualified
households since the 1970’s through a CDBG Revolving Loan Fund (RLF). In recent years,
economic conditions and an aging population have resulted in a higher ratio of loan payoffs than
the total dollar amount of loans or grants issued each year. As a result, the RLF has excess funds
of $1.1 million.
In 2017-2018 HUD, for the first time, is including these excess funds in the minimum amount which
must be spent by the City for projects. It is estimated that approximately $1.1 million must be spent
in 2017-2018 to ensure that the City meets HUD’s new ratios, while also taking into consideration
continuing additional program income from additional payoffs.
These funds cannot be used for administration or public services. Therefore, the best use of these
funds is for public facilities projects. Staff has worked with the Public Works Department to identify
potential ADA projects, such as additional city-wide curb cuts to meet ADA improvement
requirements and new roof for the city-owned Huntington Beach Youth Shelter for a total
expenditure of $1,100,000. These projects will be included in the AAP, as well as a separate
document to HUD, detailing use of these funds for uses other than the Housing Rehabilitation
Program.
The HOME entitlement may only fund the creation and/or preservation of very low- and low-income
housing. The City has been working with two separate nonprofit organizations, Mercy House and
Interval House, to successfully provide limited-term tenant based rental assistance utilizing
HOME funds. The City is also working with several affordable housing developers to determine
HB -288-Item 15. - 2
Dept. ID ED 17-13 Page 3 of 4
Meeting Date: 8/7/2017
a suitable project for HOME funding. Limited funding (10%) is also available in the HOME
allocation to administer this program. Action related to approval of a project with HOME funds will
be brought to EDC for review and the City Council for approval at a later date.

1. Introduction
Huntington Beach’s 2015/16-2019/20 Consolidated Plan constitutes the City's strategy for
addressing its housing and community development needs utilizing federal entitlement funds.
The goals are to assist low and moderate-income persons, provide decent housing, create
suitable living environments, and expand economic opportunities. Included in the Consolidated
Plan are broad five-year objectives and strategies to accomplish these goals. Specific
identifiable benchmarks for measuring progress in realizing the City’s strategy are proposed in
the Annual Action Plans.
The 2017/18 Annual Action Plan includes application for funds under two different HUD
entitlement programs - Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the HOME
Investment Partnership Program. Current year entitlements combined with reallocations and
repayments from prior years (CDBG Revolving Loan Funds) bring the total funding for program
year 2017/18 to just under $4 million. The following Annual Action Plan describes resources,
programs, activities and actions Huntington Beach will use in the coming 2017/18 fiscal year to
implement its strategic plan and ultimately achieve its Consolidated Plan goals and objectives,
summarized in Table 1 on the following page.

HB -293-Item 15. - 7
Huntington Beach 2017/18 Annual Action Plan 3
HUD requires that grantees provide an evaluation of past performance. Since the current year,
2016/17, is still in progress, the City of Huntington Beach will more fully measure performance
outputs and outcomes for CDBG and HOME under the Consolidated Annual Performance
Evaluation Report (CAPER) which captures progress towards meeting five-year goals and
objectives. Nonetheless, below is a synopsis of what has been accomplished to date.
Decent Housing
• In May 2015, the City issued a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) identifying nearly
$2.5 million in available affordable housing funds. The City’s goal was to obtain
proposals for affordable housing projects as well as a proposed Tenant-Based Rental
Assistance (TBRA) program. The City identified homeless, those at risk of homelessness,
veterans, seniors, and victims of domestic violence as the population for which the
housing programs should be targeted. The NOFA was available on the City’s website
and was disseminated to local CHDO’s in the area. The City received five (5) proposals:
three (3) proposals for affordable housing projects, and two (2) proposals for TBRA
programs.
• In FY 2015/16, the City entered into a subrecipient agreement with a nonprofit agency,
Interval House, to operate a city-wide Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program using
tenant selection policies and criteria. The City gave local preference to 9 households
impacted by homelessness, persons at risk of homelessness, veterans, seniors, and
victims of domestic violence in Huntington Beach. The first contract with Interval House
covered FY 2015/16 and FY 2016/17 and to date has assisted 25 households with an
additional five (5) to be served through an amendment before the end of fiscal year
2016/17. A new contract with the subrecipient will be implemented in FY 2017/18 with
a goal of assisting an additional 11 households.
• The Residential Rehabilitation Program provides two loan programs. First, the Single
Family Home Improvement Program provides up to $75,000 to pay for rehabilitation
costs for a single family home, townhouse, or condominium. Grants are also available to
low income households whose estimated repair costs do not exceed $10,000 for single
family dwellings and mobile homes. Second, the City administers a Multifamily Rental
Housing Rehabilitation Program. The program provides up to $75,000 for repairs to
duplex, triplex or four-plex units. The loan provided will be a deferred payment loan
with an annual interest rate of 3%. The 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan goal is to fund 75
grants/loans over the five-year period, A total of 13 loans have been funded program
year to date. The program will continue into FY 2017/18.
• In October 2016, the City approved a Substantial Amendment to the FY 2016/17 Annual
Action Plan to provide $781,220 in HOME funds for an acquisition and rehabilitation
project located at 7792 Barton Drive. The property, now owned by the Orange County
Community Housing Corporation, consists of four rental units, two of which will
eventually be rented to two (2) very low- and two (2) low-income eligible households.
Project is currently underway.
HB -294-Item 15. - 8
Huntington Beach 2017/18 Annual Action Plan 4
• In October 2016, the FY 2016/17 Annual Action Plan Substantial Amendment also
authorized HOME funding in the amount of $194,564 to provide assistance in the form
of tenant based rental assistance for very-low and low-income households, focusing on
veterans and seniors. The City selected Mercy House to be a provider of this program.
To date Mercy House has contracted with 14 households. The project is continuing in
2017/18 with an additional allocation of $194,564.
Suitable Living Environment
• The City’s Code Enforcement program continues to accomplish their goal of assisting
600 housing units each year in CDBG-eligible areas.
• The City has assisted various public service agencies since in 2016/17 While the number
of public service programs assisted with CDBG funds has been reduced due to of
decreased CDBG entitlement funds, the City continues to work towards its goals in
providing quality and effective services youth, homeless, seniors, the disabled, and
illiterate adults, as well as fair housing services funded through Administrative costs, to
the Huntington Beach community.
• The City had a goal to assist 400 persons through the provision of public facility
improvements. To that end, in 2015/16, the City funded the Oak View Class and
Counseling Space Project which intended to provide additional classroom space for the
afterschool recreation program operated at the Oak View Family Resource Center by
Children’s Bureau and the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Huntington Valley. Space was
limited at this location and the additional classroom, office and meeting space was
needed to accommodate various enrichment programs at the facility due to increased
demand for services. The project scope of work was amended in FY 2016/17 to simply
reconfigure the Family Resource Center, rather than providing additional space. The
newly reconfigured was completed in FY 2016/17 and eliminated the need for the
remainder of the work.
• The City-funded infrastructure improvements included ADA improvements to Public
Works Maintenance Zone 12 in FY 2015/16 and Maintenance Zone 10 in FY 2016/17. By
the end of the 2015/16 fiscal year, the City will have reached its Consolidated Plan goal
of assisting 1,224 persons. The City continues to make infrastructure improvements a
priority in FY 2017/18 with the installation of 100 ADA curb ramps in Maintenance Zone
1 and in other select areas throughout the City.
• HUD requires that funds generated by payoffs for former loans within the Housing
Rehabilitation Loan Program be expended on eligible projects. Therefore, the City is
submitting through this Action Plan, as well as through separate documentation to be
submitted to HUD, that this additional funding be expended to support eligible public
infrastructure projects in the City. For 2017/18, two projects are proposed through this
Action Plan: Huntington Beach Youth Shelter Roof and ADA Improvements, and
HB -295-Item 15. - 9
Huntington Beach 2017/18 Annual Action Plan 5
additional ADA curb and gutter improvements in additional Maintenance Areas. The
Youth Shelter project will benefit homeless youth which seek shelter and assistance
through this facility, and the ADA Maintenance Area projects will continue to provide
increased and improved access to streets and sidewalks for the disabled.
Economic Opportunity
• During 2015/16, City staff worked closely with two grassroots groups established in the
Oak View community, one of the most impacted areas of the City, and one in which
many resources have been concentrated in recent years. These efforts included
increased outreach to property owners and residents of the area and expansion of the
number of materials provided in Spanish. These efforts have continued in 2015/2016
and recently resulted in a bilingual Code Enforcement officer being specifically hired to
serve the Oak View community. Staff has continued to connect the Fair Housing
Foundation to the Oak View community, and they are now non-voting partners of the
Oak View Collaborative, which will give them increased access to the clientele in need
being served out of the Oak View Family Resource Center.
4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process
The City developed its 2017/18 Annual Action Plan through extensive consultation and
coordination with housing, social service and healthcare providers; public agencies; and the
local public housing agency as presented below. As a means of gaining input from the public,
the City conducted public hearings and invited comments on the draft Action Plan.
The City followed its Citizen Participation Plan and HUD’s guidelines for citizen and community
involvement in preparation of the Action Plan to encourage citizen participation in the
preparation of the documents.
A draft of the 2017/18 Annual Action Plan was made available for public comment for the
minimum 30-day period (July 7 – August 7, 2017). A City Council public hearing was held on
August 7, 2017, providing residents and interested parties a final opportunity to comment on
the Consolidated Plan prior to adoption and submittal to HUD.

7. Summary
HB -296-Item 15. - 10
Huntington Beach 2017/18 Annual Action Plan 6
The City took numerous steps, including public noticing, advertising and holding public
meetings, to ensure citizen participation in the development of the 2017/18 Action Plan. The
Action Plan addresses key findings of the Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment, including:
• Housing overpayment is the most prevalent housing problem, with 80% of Huntington
Beach's low and moderate income (<80% AMI) renter households facing a cost burden
(>30% of income on housing costs), and 45% facing a severe cost burden (>50% of
income towards housing). Consultation with housing, homeless and public service
providers identify the shortage of affordable rental housing as the most significant issue
facing Huntington Beach's extremely low, low and moderate income residents.
• Household overcrowding is a far less significant problem than overpayment in
Huntington Beach, and has decreased from 13% of all renters in 2000 to just 5% a
decade later (as documented by the 2007-2011 ACS 1). However, certain neighborhoods
continue to experience high levels of overcrowding.
• Many of the workers who make up Huntington Beach's workforce earn modest incomes,
making it challenging to afford to in live in the City where they work. The analysis of
rental housing costs and affordability illustrates that households earning extremely low,
low and moderate incomes cannot afford average market rents in Huntington Beach.
Local occupations priced out of the rental market include: bookkeepers, bus drivers,
preschool teachers, retail sales managers, and food service managers.
• For homeless persons or persons at-risk of becoming homeless, the most significant
problem is the lack of affordable rental housing. This problem has been compounded
by record high rents combined with decreases in public funding previously used to
support affordable housing. Surveys of homeless service providers in Huntington Beach
identify additional affordable housing as the top priority need, followed by the need for
additional substance abuse services, and additional tenant rental assistance.
• The City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) presents a comprehensive listing of
planned and projected capital project needs based on various long-range plans, goals,
and policies. The 2014/15-2018/19 CIP identifies the following general projects (within
low and moderate income areas) in need of CDBG funds over the next five years:
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements to Police Department lobby
Sidewalk, curb and gutter improvements, including accessibility ramps
1 The American Community Survey (ACS), performed by the U.S. Census Bureau, is an ongoing Census statistical
survey that samples a small percentage of the population every year, and publishes five year averages of this data.
Many of the tables in the Consolidated Plan are "pre-populated" by HUD with data from the 2007-2011 ACS, and
thus the City has utilized the 2007-2011 ACS as the primary data source throughout the Plan.

1. Introduction
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies (91.215(I)).
The City developed its five-year (2015/16 - 2019/20) Consolidated Plan through consultation
with the Orange County Housing Authority; City departments; health and social service
providers; and adjacent local governments. As a means of gaining input from housing,
homeless and social service providers active in Huntington Beach, the City provided agencies a
brief survey requesting input on services provided, priority needs and gaps in services. A total
of twelve (12) agencies representing special needs populations, and an additional seven (7)
housing and homeless service agencies completed the needs survey, providing direct input into
the Consolidated Plan Needs Assessment. The detailed results of these agency surveys are
provided in the Consolidated Plan’s Appendix C.
The City formed a Homeless Task Force which met for a nine-month period and has created a
list of recommendations to deal with the homeless problems in the community. In addition,
with the use of 2015/16 and 2016/17 CDBG funds, the City employed a part-time Homeless
Coordinator who coordinates services provided to the Homeless. The Coordinator oversees a
collaborative comprised of local homeless service providers and faith-based organizations who
conduct monthly meetings with the purpose of coordinating efforts and sharing information to
most effectively address the issue of homelessness in Huntington Beach.
The Coordinator was joined by two Huntington Beach Police Homeless Liaison Officers, which
were funded separately. In 2017/18, this team was joined by a part-time case manager to
further increase the level of service to the homeless population. The Project Self Sufficiency
program has transitioned away from the use of CDBG funding, and is now operating through th
support of other resources to provide services to single parents with children.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness
The City of Huntington Beach, through its Homeless Outreach Case Manager, participates in the
Orange County Continuum of Care, led and coordinated by 2-1-1 Orange County and the OC
Community Services. This public - nonprofit partnership helps ensure comprehensive, regional
coordination of efforts and resources to reduce the number of homeless and persons at risk of
homelessness throughout Orange County. This group serves as the regional convener of the
year-round CoC planning process and as a catalyst for the involvement of the public and private
agencies that make-up the regional homeless system of care.
HB -299-Item 15. - 13
Huntington Beach 2017/18 Annual Action Plan

The Orange County Continuum of Care system consists of six basic components:
1. Advocacy on behalf of those who are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless.
2. A system of outreach, assessment, and prevention for determining the needs and
conditions of an individual or family who is homeless.
3. Emergency shelters with appropriate supportive services to help ensure that homeless
individuals and families receive adequate emergency shelter and referrals.
4. Transitional housing to help homeless individuals and families who are not prepared to
make the transition to permanent housing and independent living.
5. Permanent housing, or permanent supportive housing, to help meet the long term needs of
homeless individuals and families.
6. Reducing chronic homelessness in Orange County and addressing the needs of homeless
families and individuals using motels to meet their housing needs.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate
outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS
The City of Huntington Beach does not receive ESG funds so this is not applicable.

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation
The City followed HUD’s guidelines for citizen and community involvement in preparation of
this Annual Action Plan. To encourage citizen participation in the preparation of the documents,
the City undertook several activities as summarized below.
Housing and Community Development Needs Survey
In order to evaluate public opinion of specific housing and community development needs for
the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan, the City utilized a Needs Survey (in English and Spanish) in
which the respondent was asked to rank the level of need for a particular service, capital
improvement, and public benefit. Questions about specific needs were grouped into these
areas:
• Housing Needs;
• Homeless Needs;
• Public Service Needs;
• Infrastructure Needs; and
• Economic Development Needs.
Agency Surveys: Special Needs Service Providers, Housing & Homeless Service Providers
A variety of Agencies providing services to Huntington Beach's low and moderate income
households, special needs populations, and homeless were provided a brief survey requesting
input on priority needs and gaps in the services provided. A total of nineteen Agencies
completed the survey. The tabulated results of these surveys are included in the Consolidated
Plan Appendix.
Community Meetings
For development of the Consolidated Plan, the Citizen Participation Advisory Board (CPAB)
conducted a public hearing on community needs on January 15, 2015 at Huntington Beach City
Hall, and a second public hearing on community needs and the Consolidated Plan on February
5, 2015. The meeting was conducted at the Oakview Library, with a total of 25 persons
providing public comment on priority needs in the community. The following
agencies/programs were represented: Family Literacy Program, Oakview Children's
Bureau/Boys and Girls Club Afterschool Program, Project Self-Sufficiency, and Huntington
Beach Senior Services/Care Management. The comments received are summarized in the
Consolidated Plan Appendix.
Huntington Beach Homeless Collaborative
Starting in December 2014, a former Huntington Beach Mayor began coordinating a
collaborative with homeless service providers and has been meeting on a monthly basis at the
Central Library. City staff from the Police Department, Community Services, and the City
Manager's Office/Office of Business Development have been attending these meetings. At the

provided an overview of the City's affordable housing activities and the Consolidated Plan
process, and responded to questions from participants. A copy of the meeting presentation is
provided in the Consolidated Plan Appendix.
FY 2017/18 Annual Action Plan
The City of Huntington Beach has a Citizen Participation Plan to guide the City's CDBG citizen
participation process. All citizens are encouraged to participate in the planning, development,
and implementation of the Annual Action Plan. Organizations receiving direct CDBG funding are
in regular contact with City staff. Other organizations are consulted as-needed or have been
present at various public hearings held by the City. The City holds advertised public hearings
each year to gather input on community needs as part of the development of the Annual Action
Plan and to advise on the progress of existing subrecipients. In all cases, a Notice of Public
Hearing is published at least 15 days prior to the hearing to provide residents with adequate
notice.
A draft 2017/18 Annual Action Plan was made available for public comment for a 30-day period

Huntington Beach 2017/18 Annual Action Plan

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local
funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
Federal funds play a crucial role in implementing the Consolidated Plan. Local private and non-
federal funds are usually insufficient to meet the heavy demand for housing and services in our
community. Agencies receiving CDBG and HOME funds use those funds as a commitment to
receiving other funding sources.
Likewise, the City also leverages other resources among the formula grant programs. For
example, the HOME program is matched by a variety of sources, including: private and public
investment including the use of low income housing tax credits. Other future sources of
matching funds include: inclusionary housing in-lieu fees; residual receipts from loans of the
former Redevelopment Agency; and a State SERAF loan repayment of former Redevelopment
Low/Mod Housing Funds (one-time payment).
HUD requires a 25% match on HOME funds drawn down for affordable housing. Historically, the
City has met the match requirement with the use of former Huntington Beach
redevelopment tax increment funds that were layered with HOME funds in developing
affordable housing. While redevelopment tax increment funds are no longer available for
future match requirements, the City has been utilizing a match surplus derived from prior
contributions by the former Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency in developing affordable
housing developments. The City was required to utilize 20% of these funds to develop low- and
moderate- income housing. The City's match surplus is approximately $3,115,277.
If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that
may be used to address the needs identified in the plan

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved
needs
The Housing and Homeless Needs Assessment of the Consolidated Plan discusses housing need
by income category. Income levels identified are 1) extremely low-income; 2) very low-income,
and; 3) low- and moderate-income households. Based on HUD recommendations, general
relative priorities for funding will be as follows:
HIGH PRIORITY: Activities to address this need will be funded during the five-year period.
HB -315-Item 15. - 29
Huntington Beach 2017/18 Annual Action Plan
25
MEDIUM PRIORITY: If funds are available, activities to address this need may be funded by the
City during the five-year period. The City may also use other sources of funds and take actions
to locate other sources of funds.
LOW PRIORITY: It is not likely the City will fund activities to address this need during the five-
year period.
The highest priority has been assigned to the needs of the lowest income residents, based on
the assumption that in this high cost real estate market, they are at greater risk of
displacement, homelessness or other serious housing situations due to limited financial
resources and other limitations they may face.
The Consolidated Plan identifies several obstacles in meeting underserved needs, including the
high and sustained demand for public services, as well as the shortage of funding to address the
community's needs.

behavioral modification is necessary to create a
successful outcome in obtaining and maintaining

AP-50 Geographic Distribution – 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and
minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
Huntington Beach is an urbanized coastal community located in northwestern Orange County,
California. Much of the City’s residentially designated land has already been developed. Future
residential development rests primarily upon the recycling of existing parcels and infill
development. Surrounding Huntington Beach are the cities of Seal Beach to the northwest,
Westminster to the northeast, Fountain Valley and Costa Mesa to the east, Newport Beach to
the southeast, and the Pacific Ocean to the southwest.
The City utilizes CDBG and HOME funds for projects and programs operated citywide. However,
the majority of CDBG-funded infrastructure and facility projects are targeted to the most-needy
neighborhoods: those census tracts where 47.83% or more of the residents are low- or
moderate-income.
Specifically, for Special Code Enforcement activities, the City has identified deteriorated areas
based on observed violations of the Uniform Housing Code. This effort was undertaken to
determine geographical areas meeting the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) guidelines to utilize Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding
for special code enforcement and preservation activities in deteriorating areas. From this
survey, staff identified four geographical areas that met the criteria for a deteriorating area, as
well as meeting the CDBG national objective of serving low and moderate-income households:
• Bolsa Chica – Heil
• East – Central
• South – Central
• Southeast
These four areas of concentrated deteriorated housing have been designated as Special CDBG
Code Enforcement areas, and have become the focus of increased code enforcement and
neighborhood preservation efforts to improve the quality of life and condition of housing. With
the release of HUDs updated 2014 Low and Moderate-Income Summary Data, however, several
of the census block groups within the four Special CDBG Code Enforcement areas no longer
qualify as low and moderate income (minimum 47.83% low/mod households). Thus, the City
will no longer utilize CDBG funds for code enforcement in these areas.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
All public service programs, ADA improvement projects, and housing projects funded with
CDBG or HOME will be available citywide to eligible persons. The City will also allocate CDBG
funds for special code enforcement and preservation activities in Special Code Enforcement
Areas that have been identified as deteriorated based on the observance of violations of the
Uniform Housing Code. These areas include Bolsa Chica-Heil; East-Central; South-Central; and
Southeast. Public facility and public infrastructure projects will be targeted to neighborhoods
where 47.83% or more of residents are low and moderate income.

The program with Mercy House will also continue to provide an additional 17 households with
TBRA services. The TBRA Program will meet the City's investment criteria by dedicating program
assistance to homeless households with incomes at or below 30% AMI with preference to
veterans, seniors, and victims of domestic violence. The City will allocate $359,842 in 2017/18
HOME funds to this effort.
Secondly, HOME funds in the amount of $743,447 are available for an affordable housing
project and can support approximately four affordable units. While a project site is yet to be
determined.
Lastly, the City will use CDBG Revolving Loan Funds to continue the City’s Residential Rehab
Loan Program with a goal of assisting 15 homeowners.

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
The City of Huntington Beach does not have any public housing developments. However,
Huntington Beach is one of a number of cities that benefits from the services of the Orange
County Housing Authority (OCHA), which is currently managing over 1,000 Housing Choice
Vouchers for residential units within Huntington Beach (February 2015); 58 of these were
Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Vouchers, 15 were Family Unification Vouchers, and 45
were Shelter Plus Care vouchers for formerly homeless disabled households. Elderly households
comprise 43% of the City’s Section 8 recipients (434 households), indicative of several large
senior housing complexes with significant numbers of Section 8 tenants. The City also has a
high proportion of disabled households receiving Section 8 (426 households), although many of
these households are also likely to be seniors.
OCHA last opened its Housing Choice Voucher waiting list in February 2012, during which it
received 48,298 applications for assistance. Of the total applicants, 24,756 were living within
Orange County, 3,262 were working in the County but living elsewhere, and 20,280 were living
and working outside the County. Waiting list statistics highlight both the tremendous need for
affordable housing in Huntington Beach, and the need to assist a variety of family needs from
differing demographics. The data indicates the need to serve special needs populations that
are disabled and/or homeless, as well as the growing need to serve the expanding senior citizen
population.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i)
Introduction
Throughout the country and the Los Angeles and Orange County region, homelessness has
become an increasing challenge. Factors contributing to the rise in homelessness include a lack
of housing affordable to low- and moderate-income persons, increases in people living below
poverty levels, reductions in subsidies to the poor, drug/alcohol abuse, and de-
institutionalization of the mentally ill. As described in greater detail in Section MA-30
Homeless Facilities and Services in the Consolidated Plan, the City of Huntington Beach has
been actively engaged in numerous activities to decrease homelessness and provide effective
and efficient support to local non-profits that provide services to this population. In March
2015, the City Council authorized formation of a Homeless Task Force to coordinate homeless
and housing efforts and provide City support and guidance regarding services. The Task Force is
keeping the City Council apprised of issues and services and makes recommendations as
needed. In addition, the Office of Business Development and Huntington Beach Police
Department utilized 2015/16 and 2016/17 CDBG public service funds for one part-time
Homeless Coordinator and one part-time Homeless Case Manger to serve as the City's point
persons for homeless issues. Funding will continue in 2017/18.
Once every two years, Orange County undertakes an effort to enumerate all of the sheltered
and unsheltered homeless people within the county in a given twenty-four-hour period. This
effort, known as the Homeless Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, is congressionally mandated for all
communities that receive U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding
for homeless programs. The most recent PIT in Orange County for which results have been
published and described in the Consolidated Plan was held on the morning of January 24, 2015
with the assistance of 70 homeless persons and 748 homeless service providers and community
volunteers. It is anticipatated that the most recent PIT data will be available in mid-July; if
information should become available, it will be included in the final action plan delivered to
HUD by August 16, 2017.
The January 2015 PIT count enumerated 4,452 homeless individuals in Orange County,
representing 0.14% of the total County population, reflecting a 5% increase from the 2013
count of 4,251, and an almost 56% drop from the 2011 count of 6,939 homeless persons (refer
to Table 29) and an 87% drop from the 2009 count of 8,333. Of the 4,452 homeless persons
counted in 2015, approximately 49% are unsheltered and 51% are sheltered. This represents
an increase for unsheltered persons over the 2013 total of 39% and the sheltered total of 61%.
Homeless families with children make up 14% of this population and other homeless
individuals/households without children account for the remaining 86% of the population.
The Orange County Point in Time Count does not provide specific information by jurisdiction.
However, the 2014 Homeless Conditions Report and Recommendations commissioned by the
City of Huntington Beach (prepared by City Net) utilizes the following approach to estimate the
number of homeless in the City. Applying the 2015 PIT ratio of 0.14% of the County's total
HB -341-Item 15. - 55
Huntington Beach 2017/18 Annual Action Plan
51
population being homeless to Huntington Beach's 2015 population of 201,919 translates to an
estimated 283 homeless individuals within the City. Furthermore, assuming the same
Countywide ratio of 51% of the homeless being sheltered would result in an estimated 166
sheltered homeless and 139 unsheltered homeless within the City. These figures generally
correlate with the Huntington Beach Police Department estimates of 200 unsheltered homeless
at any given time in the City because Police Officers would likely be referring to unsheltered
homeless individuals, which are more readily visible and identifiable as homeless.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The City of Huntington Beach is committed to addressing homelessness. In March 2014, the City
Council conducted a study session on homelessness in the community, including a presentation
by the Executive Director of the Orange County Commission to End Homelessness and the City's
Police Chief. Subsequently, the City contracted with City Net, a collaborative organization, to
conduct research on the scope and scale of the homeless issues in Huntington Beach, provide
an asset map of homeless services and resources, and deliver recommendations about how to
strategically leverage existing assets and resources in the community to address the problem.
City Net’s findings and recommendations are summarized below:
1. The City possesses an abundance of non-profit organizations, faith congregations, local
businesses, and community groups that are eager for collaborative solutions to ending
homelessness in Huntington Beach.
2. The groups listed above are decentralized both structurally and geographically.
3. The City should invest in coordinating these resources without aggregating them or
investing in heavy infrastructure.
4. A proactive connection should be established between the non-profit and faith
communities to City safety personnel and other first responders.
5. The City should invest in a multi-sector collective impact collaborative which would
meet regularly to achieve goals over the course of 12-months.
Prior to publication of the City Net Homeless Conditions Report, a former Huntington Beach
Mayor coordinated the "Huntington Beach Homeless Collaborative" comprised of various
homeless service providers and faith based organizations. The Collaborative conducts monthly
meetings at the Central Library with the purpose of: gathering resource information useful in
dealing with the homeless issue; developing an information and referral system for
collaborative members; establishing partnerships with the City; and coordinating activities
between homeless service providers. City staff from the Police Department, Community
Services, and the City Manager’s Office/Office of Business Development attend these meetings.

The City's Police Department recently engaged the services of the Coast to Coast Foundation, a
non-profit Police Officer Liaison Program (POLP) designed to eliminate resource barriers and
support law enforcement homelessness teams. Coast to Coast partners with police
departments throughout Orange County, providing a model that balances enforcement with
outreach. Resources include: Homeless Liaison Officer (HLO) kits for daily patrol, 24/7 locker
locations kits, homeless relocation, trained outreach team, community campaign/education
and empowerment in support of law enforcement. The City's Police Department and Coast to
Coast have created a volunteer program specifically designed to the needs of Huntington
Beach. The volunteers engage in monthly outreach efforts to the homeless and have
experienced great success.
On March 16, 2015, the City Council authorized the creation and establishment of a seven-
member Homeless Task Force to make recommendations to the City Council regarding
programs and services for the homeless. Subsequently, the Task Force created six Homeless
Task Force Sub-Committees on the following topics: Police; Housing; Coordination of Services
& Economic Self-Sufficiency; and Health Services. The Task Force is coordinated by the Office of
Business Development with assistance from the Police Department, and the Homeless
Outreach Coordinator. On March 22, 2016, the Task Force presented 22 recommendations to
the City Council.
Since the establishment of the Homeless Task Force, many accomplishments have been made
to date: Presentations from a variety of homeless organizations including Beach Cities Interfaith
Services, OC Health Care Agency, Share Ourselves, the Illumination Foundation, Fresh
Beginnings, and the Pasadena and Orange Police Departments; and Creation of six homeless
sub-committees who have provided the Task Force with many recommendations to address
safety, housing, services, economic self-sufficiency, and health services.
The City Council established a City Council Homeless Task Force Subcommittee, consisting of
three (3) City Councilmembers, to monitor the implementation of recommendations made by
the Homeless Task Force in 2016.
The Office of Business Development and the Police Department have been granted continued
CDBG public service funds for FY 2017/18 to fund the current part-time Homeless Coordinator
position to serve as the City's point person for homeless issues, as well as a part-time case
manager/social worker. The Homeless Coordinator acts as liaison with the Police Department,
non-profit organizations and for-profit groups such as mental health centers, hospitals,
churches, shelters, addiction centers and rehabilitation programs. The Coordinator will assist
the Police Department in locating shelter beds for the homeless and rehabilitation (detox) beds
for those in need of assistance and provide wrap-around services for homeless clientele. In
addition, both the coordinator and the case manager/social worker help to coordinate City
services regarding homeless encampments and public information.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City has and will continue to address the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs
of homeless and homeless families through support of homeless programs such as the
Huntington Beach Youth Emergency Shelter, Interval House, and Mercy House. Through the
City's Homeless Task Force, the City will also support the provision of emergency housing and
services by Beach Cities Interfaith Services and the local faith-based community. The City has
also created a Homeless Outreach Coordinator and a Homeless Case Manger position who are
responsible for creating relationships with the homeless and to provide services with an eye
toward bringing their homelessness to an end.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
In an ongoing effort to continue to address the needs of the homeless and those at risk of
homelessness, the City will focus on the development of sustainable and effective
programming, including: applying for short and long-term available funding; partnerships with
experienced service providers capable of leveraging other funding; the ability to create or
secure affordable housing; perform homeless case management; and engage the homeless
through a street outreach component in order to better connect them to available services.
The City’s goal is to expand on current homeless programs and activities with a greater
emphasis on homeless veterans and families to assist with their successful transition toward
self-sufficiency.
In FY 2015/16, the also City entered into a subrecipient agreement with a nonprofit agency,
Interval House, to operate a city-wide Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program using tenant
selection policies and criteria. The City gave local preference to households impacted by
homelessness, persons at risk of homelessness, veterans, seniors, and victims of domestic
violence in Huntington Beach. The program has, to date, provided rental assistance to 25
households and with continued funding into FY 2017/18, proposes to assist an additional 11
families.
The City has also partnered with Mercy House to implement a second Tenant Based Rental
Assistance program targeting low and very-low income seniors, veterans, and homeless. The
program has provided assistance to 14 households to date and the program will continue into
FY 2017/18 with service to an additional estimated 17 households.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
HB -344-Item 15. - 58

54
low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly
funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities,
foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs.
To help prevent homelessness and protect at-risk populations, Huntington Beach will continue
to participate in the Orange County Continuum of Care System to provide assistance to persons
at risk of becoming homeless. In addition, the City continues to pursue opportunities to expand
its affordable housing inventory to benefit primarily low-income renters.
The City does not receive Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG) or Housing Opportunities for Persons
with AIDS (HOPWA) funding and therefore is not required to develop a discharge coordination
policy. However, the City will continue to address a discharge coordination policy with the
Orange County Housing Authority and the Continuum of Care Homeless Issues Task Force.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
Huntington Beach has a strong history of supporting affordable housing. The City has adopted
numerous provisions in its Zoning Ordinance that facilitate a range of residential development
types and encourage affordable housing. In addition, the City and its former Redevelopment
Agency have provided direct financial assistance to support affordable and mixed income
housing projects. The loss of Redevelopment Housing Funds, which previously generated
approximately $3 million per year for housing activities, will dampen the level of future
affordable housing production in the City.
In addition to funding constraints, the primary barrier to the provision of affordable housing in
Huntington Beach is the lack of vacant land suitable for residential development. Separate
owners of smaller parcels hold much of the underdeveloped and residentially zoned land in the
City. This calls for alternative policy tools such as lot consolidation and/or demolition of existing
older structures to accommodate higher density infill development. Through adoption of the
Downtown and Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plans, the City has provided opportunities
for high density mixed use and residential infill.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve
as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
Through the administration of the CDBG and HOME programs, every effort is made to remove
barriers to affordable housing through agreements with for-profit and non-profit affordable
housing developers. These efforts also include working with neighborhood residents to ensure
affordable housing projects are acceptable. Ongoing monitoring of “for sale” affordable units is
conducted by department staff by assuring that the affordable housing covenants are recorded
on title when the unit is sold. To address the decline in sources of housing funds, the City will
continue to advocate for and pursue federal, state, local and private funding sources for
affordable housing.
Additionally, as part of the City’s Housing Element update, the City must assess and to the
extent feasible, mitigate, its governmental constraints to housing for lower and moderate
income households and persons with disabilities. The Housing Element addresses the City’s
provisions for affordable housing, emergency shelters, transitional housing, and supportive
housing. The following programs in the City's 2013-2021 Housing Element specifically address
the variety of regulatory and financial tools used by the City to remove barriers and facilitate
the provision of affordable housing:

Introduction:
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The City of Huntington Beach has identified long-range strategies, activities and funding sources
to implement the goals in the areas of housing and community development services for the
benefit of the residents.
• The City will continue to seek other resources and funding sources to address the
biggest obstacle to meeting the community's underserved needs, which is the lack of
funding and/or inadequate funding.
• The City will look for innovative and creative ways to make its delivery systems more
comprehensive and will continue existing partnerships with both for-profit and not-for-
profit organizations.
• The City will use HOME and CDBG funds to concentrate on both affordable rental
housing, tenant-based rental housing, and homeowner rehabilitation programs.
• The City is currently addressing certain housing needs with federal funds such as
availability, condition, and fair housing practices to prevent homelessness.
• The City is also addressing community development needs with federal funds such as
infrastructure, improving public facilities and code enforcement.
• The City is working with surrounding jurisdictions on a regional approach to meeting the
underserved needs.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The City’s Consolidated Plan has identified the preservation of existing, and the creation of
new, affordable housing as a priority need during the 2015/16 – 2019/20 timeframe.
In May 2015, the City issued a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) identifying nearly $2.5
million in available affordable housing funds. The City’s goal was to obtain proposals for
affordable housing projects as well as a proposed Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA)
program. The City identified homeless, those at risk of homelessness, veterans, seniors, and
victims of domestic violence as the population for which the housing programs should be
targeted. The NOFA was available on the City’s website and was disseminated to local CHDO’s
in the area. The City received five (5) proposals: three (3) proposals for affordable housing
projects, and two (2) proposals for TBRA programs. Because the May 2015 NOFA proved
unsuccessful in negotiating the development of an affordable housing project, the City issued a
new NOFA, after which it opted to work with the local CHDO, Orange County Community
Housing Corporation (OCCHC) to develop a rental four-plex located at 7792 Barton Drive in
Huntington Beach. The project was awarded $781,220 in HOME funding in October 2016 via
substantial amendment to the FY 2016/17 Annual Action Plan. The project is currently
HB -348-Item 15. - 62
Huntington Beach 2017/18 Annual Action Plan
58
underway.
In response to the solicitation for a tenant based rental assistance program provider, Interval
House was selected to administer such a program in September 2015. Interval House was
chosen because of its extensive experience in providing services to households impacted by
domestic violence, and because it already works closely with the City’s Police Department in
providing housing for eligible households. Additionally, Interval House implemented the City’s
Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing (HPRP) program, a similar federal funding
program that provided assistance to homeless and at at-risk persons to alleviate homelessness
and provide rapid re-housing. During FY 2017/18, the City will continue to work Interval House
to provide tenant-based rental assistance to an additional 11 households. The program will
continue to target homeless, persons at risk of homelessness, veterans, seniors, and victims of
domestic violence in Huntington Beach.
The City has also partners with Mercy House to implement a second Tenant Based Rental
Assistance program targeting low and very-low income seniors, veterans, and homeless. The
program has provided assistance to 14 households to date and the program will continue into
FY 2017/18.
The City is still committed to reviewing proposals for affordable housing projects, and will
eventually pursue a project to assist households at various income levels, including households
with incomes at or below 60% of the Orange County area median income (AMI), with
preference for proposals that provide units for households at or below 30% AMI. The City’s
previous NOFA also identified a preference for projects aimed at homeless, at-risk of
homelessness, veterans, and senior populations. The City will also endeavor to alleviate
household overcrowding and renter cost burden, while at the same time, addressing the
fundamental need for affordable housing for extremely low income families, homeless or at-
risk of being homeless households, some of the main housing issues described in the
Consolidated Plan. While funds are limited, the City will use regulatory tools - such as flexible
development standards, density bonus and other incentives - to support in the expansion of
needed affordable housing.
In past years, the City has provided funding support to local public service agencies such as AIDS
Services Foundation that address the service needs of the homeless and those at risk of
becoming homeless. However, continued reductions in the City’s CDBG entitlements have
resulted in the cutback of such funding support in recent years. The City hopes to reinstate
funding support in the future should CDBG entitlement amounts sufficiently increase to allow
for additional agencies to receive funding.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
As a means of better protecting children and families against lead poisoning, in 1999 HUD
instituted revised lead-based paint regulations focused around the following five activities:
HB -349-Item 15. - 63
Huntington Beach 2017/18 Annual Action Plan
59
• Notification
• Lead Hazard Evaluation
• Lead Hazard Reduction
• Ongoing Maintenance
• Response to Children with Environmental Intervention Blood Lead Level
The City has implemented HUD Lead Based Paint Regulations (Title X), which requires federally
funded rehabilitation projects to address lead hazards. Lead-based paint abatement is part of
the City's Residential Rehabilitation Program and the Acquisition/Rehabilitation of Affordable
Rental Housing Program. Units within rental housing projects selected for rehabilitation are
tested if not statutorily exempt. Elimination or encapsulation remedies are implemented if lead
is detected, and is paid for by either the developer of the project, or with CDBG or HOME funds,
as appropriate.
To reduce lead-based paint hazards in existing housing, all housing rehabilitation projects
supported with federal funds are tested for lead and asbestos. When a lead-based paint hazard
is present, the City or the City’s sub-grantee contracts with a lead consultant for abatement or
implementation of interim controls, based on the findings of the report. Tenants are notified of
the results of the test and the clearance report. In Section 8 programs, staff annually inspects
units on the existing program and new units as they become available. In all cases, defective
paint surfaces must be repaired. In situations where a unit is occupied by a household with
children under the age of six, corrective actions will include testing and abatement if necessary,
or abatement without testing.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
The City’s major objectives in reducing poverty within Huntington Beach are to:
• Reduce the number of families on welfare;
• Reduce the number of families needing housing subsidies; and
• Increase economic opportunities for low and moderate income persons.
The City’s anti-poverty strategy seeks to enhance the employability of residents through the
promotion and support of programs which provide employment training and supportive
services, while expanding employment opportunities through the support of programs
supporting business development and employment and its recently-completed Economic
Development Strategy.
In terms of employment training and supportive services, the City supports literacy programs
for families (Oakview Family Literacy Program) with a combination of General Funds and CDBG
that help enhance the employability of low income persons with deficient English speaking,
reading, and writing skills. As funding permits, the City will continue to support the following
Public Services to increase family stability for lower income households:
HB -350-Item 15. - 64
Huntington Beach 2017/18 Annual Action Plan
60
• Counseling
• Domestic Violence Prevention Services
• Provision of food
• Substance Abuse Services
• Job Training
Lastly, the City of Huntington Beach supports a variety of economic development activities that
help to create and retain jobs for low- and moderate-income households. Activities supported
include a commercial property locator; employment assistance including of a referral service for
finding and training employees; financial assistance through the Small Business Administration;
business counseling and training via a litany of not-for-profit Orange County agencies; technical
assistance in permits, trademarks, environmental review, and taxes; and export and trade
assistance. Micro-enterprise assistance, job training services, and technical assistance are some
areas that may warrant consideration for funding during the Consolidated Plan period.
The City will fully comply with Section 3 of the Housing and Community Development Act,
which helps foster local economic development and individual self-sufficiency. This set of
regulations require that to the greatest extent feasible, the City will provide job training,
employment, and contracting opportunities for low or very low-income residents in connection
with housing and public construction projects.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
As the recipient of CDBG and HOME funds, the City has delegated the Office of Business
Development to be the lead department responsible for the overall administration of HUD
grants. In that regard, the Division will prepare the Consolidated Plan and Analysis of
Impediments to Fair Housing Choice every five years, draft the Annual Action Plan and CAPER,
as well as all other reports required by federal rules and regulations.
The City will work with non-profit agencies, for-profit developers, advocacy groups, clubs, and
organizations, neighborhood leadership groups, City departments and with the private sector to
implement the City’s five-year strategy to address the priority needs outlined in the
Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years 2015/2016 – 2019/2020. Engaging the community and
stakeholders in the delivery of services and programs for the benefit of low to moderate
residents will be vital in overcoming gaps in service delivery. The City will also utilize public
notices, Community Workshops and Meetings (as appropriate), the City’s website, and other
forms of media to deliver information on carrying out the Consolidated Plan strategies.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
In an ongoing effort to bridge the gap of various programs and activities, the City has developed
HB -351-Item 15. - 65
Huntington Beach 2017/18 Annual Action Plan
61
partnerships and collaborations with local service providers and City departments that have
been instrumental in meeting the needs and demands of the homeless, low income individuals
and families, and other special needs. Over the years, the City has expanded partnerships and
created new ones along the way. The array of partners include, but are not limited to: the
Huntington Beach Police Department, Library Services, Community Services, and Public Works
Departments; American Family Housing, Habitat for Humanity, Interval House, Mercy House,
Collete’s Children’s Home, and AMCAL; Orange County Community Housing Corporation;
Jamboree Housing; Community SeniorServ; AIDS Services Foundation; Project Self Sufficiency;
Alzheimer’s Family Services; Fair Housing Foundation; the Orange County Housing Authority;
and 2-1-1 Orange County and OC Community Services (Orange County Continuum of Care).
During FY 2017/18, the City will continue to develop these partnerships.

Location: Citywide
Zoning Text Amendment No.17-003 is a City initiated request to amend the Huntington Beach
Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) Section 230.96 (Wireless Communication Facilities) to
revise the current review process by establishing a Wireless Permit approval process for Small Cell
Sites that comply with City design standards.
Small Cell Sites are utilized by telecommunications companies and wireless carriers to increase
existing network capacity. These devices include antennas and equipment that provide
connections to a mobile telecommunication system, such as WiFi and data networks. Small Cell
Sites are typically integrated into the design of existing light standards or street lights. ZTA No. 17-
003 proposes to change the current review process from a Conditional Use Permit with public
hearing to a Wireless Permit review process without a public hearing for devices which meet the
definition of a Small Cell Site and are designed to comply with Public Works’ design standards. In
order to implement this revised process, HBZSO Section 230.96 is proposed to be amended to
define a Small Cell Site and include Small Cell Sites in the existing Wireless Permit review process.
A legislative draft of the changes to HBZSO Section 230.96 is provided in Attachment No. 3. A
draft of Public Works’ design standards is provided in Attachment No. 4.
B. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING:
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on Zoning Text Amendment No. 17-003 on June
27, 2017. During the public hearing, staff gave an overview of the proposed changes. There were
two speakers during the public hearing whom represented the wireless industry and requested
more time to review the proposed changes. The Planning Commission voted to recommend that
the City Council approve Zoning Text Amendment No. 17-003 based on the findings provided in
Attachment No. 1.
Planning Commission Action on June 27, 2017:
A motion made by Kalmick, seconded by Mandic, to approve Zoning Text Amendment No. 17-003
with findings for approval (Attachment No. 1) and forward to City Council carried by the following
vote:
AYES: Ray, Garcia, Crowe, Mandic, Kalmick, Scandura, Grant
NOES: NONE
ABSENT: NONE
ABSTAIN: NONE
MOTION PASSED
C. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION:
Currently, any proposed wireless facility located in the public right of way requires review through a
Conditional Use Permit with a public hearing heard by the Zoning Administrator. ZTA No. 2017-
003 proposes to revise the current process by establishing a Wireless Permit review process for
wireless facilities that meet the definition of a Small Cell Site and comply with City design
standards. The revised process eliminates the Conditional Use permit requirement and public
hearing for Small Cell Sites located in the public right of way and Small Cell Sites on private
property that meet these design standards. The revised approval process and design requirements
are detailed below.
HB -383-Item 16. - 2
Dept. ID CD Page 3 of 3
Meeting Date: 8/7/2017
Approval Process and Design Requirements
Small Cell Sites will be subject to the requirements of Section 230.96(E)(2) - Director Approval
without a public hearing if they comply with the following:
1. Meet the definition of a Small Cell Site:
a. No larger than four cubic feet per location
b. Maximum two antennas per location
c. Locate on existing poles, such as a light standard
d. Demonstrate compliance with Public Works’ design standards
2. Small Cell Sites located on any City owned facilities, including poles located in the public
right-of-way, will require a Wireless Permit Application to be submitted to the Public Works
Department. They will also be required to execute a License Agreement with the City per
230.96(H).
3. Small Cell Sites located on any other existing poles will require a Wireless Permit
Application submitted to the Community Development Department.
Any wireless facility that does not meet this criteria and proposes to be located in the public right of
way or attached to any pole, will be subject to the Conditional Use Permit review process.
Staff and the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve Zoning Text
Amendment No. 17-003 because the changes are consistent with the General Plan and would
establish the City’s desired approval process and design requirements for Small Cell Sites while
protecting the community’s general welfare and quality of life.
SB 649 Analysis
City staff has been following Senate Bill 649 (Hueso) and while the City took an official oppose
position in April 2017, this bill has advanced to the Assembly. The proposed legislation would
preempt adopted local land use plans by mandating that “small cells” be allowed in zones as a use
by-right, including all residential zones. The bill would strip local authority over public property and
would shut out public input and local discretion by eliminating consideration of the aesthetic and
environmental impacts of “small cells.” Because it would prohibit local discretionary review of
“small cell” wireless antennas, design criteria like equipment collocated on existing structures or
located on new “poles, structures, or non-pole structures,” including those within the public right-of-
way and buildings, could not be enforced. The bill would in effect nullify the aesthetic and size
prescriptions set forth in the proposed Zoning Text Amendment.
Environmental Status:
ZTA No. 17-003 is statutorily exempt pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 4501, Class 20, which
supplements the California Environmental Quality Act.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Enhance and maintain infrastructure

SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL
ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 17-003
SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CEQA:
The City Council finds that the project will not have any significant effect on the environment and is
exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to City
Council Resolution No. 4501, Class 20, which supplements CEQA because the request is a minor
amendment to a zoning ordinance that does not change the development standards intensity or density.
SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL – ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 17-003:
1. Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) No. 17-003 to amend Section 230.96 (Wireless Communication
Facilities) of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance is consistent with the goals,
objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan including:
A. Land Use Element:
Goal LU 2: Ensure the development is adequately served by transportation infrastructure,
utility infrastructure, and public services.
B. Utilities Element:
Goal U 5: Maintain and expand service provision to the City of Huntington Beach residences
and businesses.
Objective U 5.1: Ensure that adequate natural gas, telecommunication and electrical systems
are provided.
Policy U 5.1.1: Continue to work with service providers to maintain current levels of service
and facilitate improved levels of service.
C. Economic Development Element:
Policy ED 2.3.1: Strive to reduce all discretionary permit and licensing processing time.
ZTA No. 2017-003 establishes a Wireless Permit review process for Small Cell Sites that comply
with Public Works’ design standards to service the needs of the residents and businesses and
continue to provide processing incentives for those facilities that meet certain standards. It
continues to require all associated antennas and equipment to be compatible with the surrounding
environment.
2. ZTA No. 17-003 does not affect the general land use provision or compatibility with the uses
authorized in, and the standards prescribed for, any of the zoning districts for which it is proposed.
Zoning Text Amendment No. 17-003 will revise the citywide wireless communication facilities
HB -385-Item 16. - 4
(17sr23 ZTA No. 17-003) Attachment No. 1.2
ordinance. It will not affect zoning of any property or the allowed uses and development standards
of any zoning district.
3. A community need is demonstrated for the change proposed in order to ensure that adequate
telecommunication systems are provided. Zoning Text Amendment No. 17-003 will reflect the
City’s desired approval process and design requirements for Small Cell Sites in consideration of
maximizing the goals of the General Plan.
4. Adoption of ZTA No. 17-003 will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and
good zoning practice because the proposed changes will continue to permit wireless
communication facilities while protecting the community’s general welfare and quality of life
through the Wireless Permit review process.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
AMENDING CHAPTER 230 OF THE HUNTINGTON BEACH
ZONING AND SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE RELATING TO
WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES
(ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 17-003)
WHEREAS, pursuant to the California State Planning and Zoning Law, the Huntington
Beach Planning Commission and Huntington Beach City Council have held separate, duly
noticed public hearings to consider Zoning Text Amendment No. 17-003, which amends Chapter
230 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance relating to wireless
communication facilities; and
After due consideration of the findings and recommendations of the Planning
Commission and all other evidence presented, the City Council finds that the aforesaid
amendment is proper and consistent with the General Plan;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does hereby
ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Section 230.96 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision
Ordinance is hereby amended to read as follows:
230.96 Wireless Communication Facilities
A. Purpose. This section of the Zoning Code is to protect public safety, general welfare,
and quality of life by regulating the location, height and physical characteristics and provide
for orderly and efficient placement of Wireless Communication Facilities in the City of
Huntington Beach.
Because of the potential negative aesthetic impacts of Wireless Communication Facilities,
including visual blight and diminution of property value, the City endeavors to locate
antennas within commercial, industrial and other non-residential zones, screen them from
view, and encourage co-location with other Wireless Communication Facilities. However,
the Federal Telecommunications Act, specifically 47 U.S.C. Section 332(c)(7), preempts
local zoning where a wireless Facility is necessary to remedy a significant gap in the
wireless provider's service, Consequently, where the City determines that the Facility does
not satisfy City planning and zoning standards, the wireless provider may then choose to
establish Federal preemption because (i) a significant gap in wireless coverage exists, and
(ii) there is a lack of feasible alternative site locations. A myriad of factors are involved in
determining if a gap is significant, such as: whether the gap affects a commuter highway;
the nature and character of the area and the number of potential users affected by the alleged
lack of service; whether the signal is weak or nonexistent and whether the gap affects a
commercial district. Consequently, the City will require scientific evidence from an expert
17-5579/160660/mv/7/6/17 2:35 p.m.
HB -387-Item 16. - 6
ORDINANCE NO. 4136
in the field demonstrating the existence of a significant gap in service, and a lack of feasible

HB -390-Item 16. - 9
ORDINANCE NO. 4136
f. Property owner authorization or evidence of fee ownership of property
where the Facility will be installed. In the case of City-owned property or any
public right-of-way, the applicant shall provide a license, lease, franchise, or other
similar agreement from the City to place any Facility over, within, on, or beneath
City property or right-of-way.
g. Locations of all other Wireless Antennas within 1,000 feet of a proposed
ground mounted Facility. Co-location of ground mounted facilities shall be
required where feasible whenever such a Facility is proposed within 1,000 feet of
any existing Wireless Antenna.
h. Any other relevant information as required by the Director of Community
Development or the Director of Public Works.
The Community Development Department or Public Works Department will initially
review and determine if the application is complete. The City may deem the application
incomplete and require re-submittal if any of the above information is not provided.
2. Director Approval. Following submittal of a complete application, the City will
determine whether the Facility may be approved by the Community Development
Director or Public Works Director or whether a conditional use permit or other
entitlement is required. Wireless permit applications will be processed based upon the
location and type and size of antennas defined in herein. Although said classifications
are assigned at project intake, a re-evaluation of antenna classifications may occur at
any point in the process including at the time of review by the Director, Zoning
Administrator, Planning Commission or City Council.
A Facility not subject to any other discretionary approval may be administratively
approved by the Director by issuing a wireless permit if it is:
a. Co-located on an existing approved wireless Facility, does not exceed the
existing Wireless Facility heights, and employs stealth techniques such that the
co-located wireless Facility is compatible with surrounding buildings and land
uses; or
b. A modified Facility that complies with the base district height limit plus
up to an additional 10 feet of height as permitted in Section 230.72 and
compatible with surrounding buildings and land uses by incorporating stealth
techniques; or
c. A Facility that complies with the base district height limit plus up to an
additional 10 feet of height as permitted in Section 230.72, is completely stealth
and is not ground or utility mounted; or
d. A Small Cell Site.
The Director may require conditions of approval of the Wireless Communication
Facility in order to minimize adverse health, safety and welfare impacts (including
aesthetic impacts) to the community.
A decision of the Director to grant a wireless permit shall become final 10 days
following the date of the decision unless an appeal to the Planning Commission is filed
as provided in Chapter 248 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision
Ordinance (HBZSO).

HB -391-Item 16. - 10
ORDINANCE NO. 4136
The Director shall issue findings of approval that the Facility meets the above criteria
and is not a detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the community.
3. Zoning Administrator Approval. In the event the Director determines that the
applicant does not meet the requirements for Director approval of a wireless permit,
then the applicant must apply for a conditional use permit (CUP) to the Zoning
Administrator pursuant to Chapter 241 of the HBZSO.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the HBZSO, any new ground or utility
mounted wireless facilities shall be required to obtain a CUP.
The Zoning Administrator may require as a condition of approval that the applicant
minimize adverse impacts to the community including aesthetic visual impacts by
incorporating one or more of the following into project design and construction:
a. Completely stealth installations;
b. Stealth techniques;
C. Co-location and locating facilities within existing building envelopes;
d. Colorization or landscaping to minimize visual prominence; and/or
e. Removal or replacement of facilities that are obsolete.
Further conditions of approval of a CUP may be imposed as provided in Chapter 241
of the HBZSO. The Zoning Administrator's decision may be appealed to the Planning
Commission in accordance with Chapter 248 of the HBZSO,
4. Design Review. Design review shall be required for any Wireless Communication
Facilities pursuant to the HBZSO. In addition, Wireless Communication Facilities
located on public rights-of-way and on or within 300 feet of a residential district or use
in the City shall be required to obtain design review approval.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the IIBZSO, design review is not required for
wireless communication facilities (including Small Cell Sites) that may be approved by
the Director pursuant to Subsection E.2 (Director Approval) above and have all
appurtenant facilities and equipment located underground or within an existing
building or existing enclosure.
F. Applicant May Assert Federal Preemption at Time of Appeal to Planning
Commission.
1. If the decision on the wireless permit or conditional use permit is appealed (either
by applicant or an aggrieved party) to the Planning Commission, the applicant may
assert that Federal law preempts the City from denying the application because denial
would effectively prohibit wireless service. The applicant shall pay a Denial of
Effective Service appeal fee in an amount to be established by City Council resolution,
which amount shall be the estimated cost for the City to retain an independent,
qualified consultant to evaluate any technical aspect of a proposed Wireless
Communication Facility, including, but not limited to, issues involving whether a
significant gap in coverage exists. A Denial of Effective Service appeal must be
submitted prior to the expiration of the appeal period for a wireless permit or
conditional use permit.

2. The Director shall establish the foim of the Denial of Effective Service appeal. At
a minimum, the applicant shall provide the following information as part of the appeal:
In order to prevail in establishing a significant gap in coverage claim the applicant
shall establish at minimum the following based upon substantial evidence:
a. Evidence demonstrating the existence and nature of a significant gap in
service in the vicinity of the proposed Facility, including, but not limited to,
whether the gap pertains to residential in-building, commercial in-building
coverage, in-vehicle coverage, and/or outdoor coverage.
b. Evidence demonstrating that the applicant has pursued other feasible sites
for locating the Facility, but that they are unavailable on commercially practicable
terms.
c. Evidence demonstrating the radio frequency signal strength transmission

230.96 Wireless Communication Facilities
A. _Purpose. This section of the Zoning Code is to protect public safety, general welfare, and quality
of life by regulating the location, height and physical characteristics and provide for orderly and
efficient placement of wireless communication facilitiesWireless Communication Facilities in the
City of Huntington Beach.
Because of the potential negative aesthetic impacts of wireless communication facilitiesWireiess
Communication Facilities, including visual blight and diminution of property value, the City
endeavors to locate antennas within commercial, industrial and other non-residential zones, screen
them from view, and encourage co-location with other .Wireless
Communication Facilities. However, the Federal Telecommunications Act, specifically 47 U.S.C.
Section 332(c)(7), preempts local zoning where a wireless faellityFaciIity is necessary to remedy a
significant gap in the wireless provider's service. Consequently, where the City determines that the
ta-eilityFacility does not satisfy City planning and zoning standards, the wireless provider may then
choose to establish Federal preemption because (i) a significant gap in wireless coverage exists, and
(ii) there is a lack of feasible alternative site locations. A myriad of factors are involved in determining
if a gap is significant, such as: whether the gap affects a commuter highway; the nature and character
of the area and the number of potential users affected by the alleged lack of service; whether the signal
is weak or nonexistent and whether the gap affects a commercial district. Consequently, the City will
require scientific evidence from an expert in the field demonstrating the existence of a significant gap
in service, and a lack of feasible alternative sites. The applicant will be required to pay for the cost of
said expert opinion.

Statement of Issue:
On May 1, 2017, Non–Toxic HB and HB for Tomorrow approached the City Council asking the City
to discontinue the use of synthetic herbicides. City Council instructed Public Works to conduct a
one-year Organic Chemical Pilot Study, to contact the City of Irvine for guidance, and create a
progress report to be reviewed in three (3) months. This Request for Council Action provides an
update on the work that has been done over the past three (3) months.
Financial Impact:
Not applicable
Recommended Action:
Receive and file the Council recommended three-month status report on Organic Chemical Pilot
Study.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not receive and file and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
Current Practices and Integrated Pest Management Program
The City of Huntington Beach Public Works Department, assisted by contract providers, maintains
more than 580 acres of community and neighborhood parks and athletic fields; more than 800
acres of public right-of-way (e.g. street medians, parkways, 60,000 city trees, and nearly 1.7 million
square feet of facilities).
Historically, the City and its agents have applied pesticides to control the following in or on City
properties: (1) broadleaf and grassy weeds in turf, hardscapes, undeveloped rights-of-way, bike trail
edges, tree well and planter areas; (2) rodents; (3) insects in trees, planters, and buildings; and (4)
soil pathogens/fungi and snails. Pests controlled in interior facilities generally include: ants, spiders,
rodents, and roaches.
A pesticide is any substance, or mixture of substances, used for defoliating plants, regulating plant
growth or for preventing, destroying, repelling or mitigating any pest that may be detrimental to
vegetation, humans or animals. By definition, whether the chemical is organic or synthetic, it is still
a pesticide if the intent is to treat for a pest. The City's Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices

include using organic fertilizer, using beneficial insects, and landscape design adjacent to buildings
that reduce pest habitat.
The City's Public Works Landscape Maintenance Division follows an IPM Policy for landscape
maintenance functions on City property. An integrated approach to pest management represents
an industry standard, prioritizing prevention and non-chemical control measures before the use of
pesticide controls, in compliance with State and Federal regulations. The IPM method is a
systematic approach that uses extensive knowledge about pests and their hosts, such as
infestation thresholds, life histories, and environmental requirements to compliment and facilitate
biological and other natural control of pests.
The systems and methods used include:
Prevention - selecting plants compatible with the site’s environment
Monitoring - determining pest levels, tolerance thresholds, impact of controls available/used
Non-chemical control measures - biological, cultural, and physical
Chemical controls - used when other methods fail to provide adequate control before pests
cause unacceptable damage, while being mindful of harm to beneficial organisms and
resistance and impact on water quality.
Currently the City uses the least toxic pesticides, listed as Level III (Levels range from I to III) as
defined by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Pesticides are recommended by a licensed
California Pest Control Adviser and applied by a licensed Qualified Applicator pursuant to
Department of Pesticide Regulation guidelines.
Facilities maintenance for City public buildings pest management is implemented with similar steps
following State and Federal regulations. Facilities IPM guided strategies include prevention
measures such as, good housekeeping and sealing points of entry, and mechanical and non-
chemical measures that include using deterrents and removal of pests. Pesticide controls are
applied when other methods fail and to prevent damage and risk to public health.
Organic Chemical Pilot Study
Based on direction from the City Council, the Public Works Landscape Division staff began a pilot
program on May 25, 2017 in Central Park West. Prior to the implementation of the pilot study, staff
met with representatives from the City of Irvine to further understand their program, the results, and
all associated costs to implement a “Non-Toxic” program. The City of Irvine stopped the usage of
herbicides in its parks and now uses a mix of “cultural practices” and manual labor to control
weeds. Irvine utilizes organic herbicides in the right-of-way, mulch in the planters, and has started
a six-man dedicated weed crew to manually pull and hoe weeds. This method has resulted in a six
percent increase ($1.2 million) annually in the City’s landscape budget ($21 million annual budget).
Irvine Public Works staff found that it takes four applications of an organic herbicide to kill a weed.
Subsequently, City of Huntington Beach staff selected a site in Central Park to begin the pilot study.
The area selected had a variety of weeds most commonly found in the City’s landscaped areas.
The goal was to use organic chemicals in the same manner that traditional chemicals were used.
After the initial three months of the pilot study, staff has come up with three options listed below.
Option 1 – Application of Organic Chemicals and Hand Weeding in the Right-of-Way and City Parks
Early conclusions from the pilot study indicate multiple or continuous applications of organic
chemical to mitigate weeds for an acceptable level of service in the right-of-way and in City parks.
Further testing over a longer duration will allow the City to find a breaking point at which the weeds
will stay suppressed. Further piloting of this option will enable staff to reach a conclusion on the
overall cost of material and labor.
HB -418-Item 17. - 2
Dept. ID 17-047 Page 3 of 3
Meeting Date: 8/7/2017
Option 2 – Application of Organic Chemicals in the Right-of-Way and Chemical Free in City Parks
(Irvine Model)
The City of Huntington Beach is comparable in size to the City of Irvine with approximately 583
acres of developed parks. This option would mimic the City of Irvine’s model. The City would
discontinue the use of any herbicide in the parks and utilize organic chemicals in the right-of-way.
Option 3 – Manual Weed Abatement & Chemical Free Application
This option would discontinue the use of any chemicals for weed abatement and require City or
contract staff to manually abate weeds in the right-of-way and parks. Manual weed abatement is
more effective than organic chemical applications and poses no risk to the public.
Next Steps
This study will continue for the next nine (9) months and staff will provide City Council with another
update on May 7, 2018. Based on initial findings of the pilot study, staff believes that a prioritized
approach to organic pesticides would be used first as long as they are effective at managing pests
and are cost effective and review the City’s revised IPM to include organic chemicals (Attachment
#1). Initial cost estimates for the three options range from $540,000 to $1million per year; these
costs will be fully vetted by the end of the pilot study as staff will have more time to test various
methods and come to a solution that works for the community.
Environmental Status:
This Organic Pilot Study is categorically exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) California Public Resources Code Section 15378 as there is no potential for direct, or
reasonably foreseeable direct or indirect physical change to the environment.

Organic Chemical Pilot Study, West Central Park
Representatives from the Landscape Division of Public Works met with the Landscape
Maintenance Superintendent for the City of Irvine who directly oversees Irvine’s organic pest
control program, and has great working knowledge of the costs and results of this kind of
program. Irvine stopped using all herbicides in the city’s parks including organics, and instead
uses a mixture of “cultural practices” and labor to control the weeds. Irvine does use organic
herbicides on its roadway planters and right‐of‐ways. In the parks, Irvine is using mulch in the
planters, and has started a six‐man dedicated weed crew to manually pull and hoe weeds. This
method has also resulted in a 5 to 6% increase annually in Irvine’s landscape budget of 21
million dollars. They also shared the results of using organic chemicals on the city’s right‐of‐
ways and roadway planters, describing which organics are working best for Irvine. Irvine is
currently using Suppress EC mixed with Scythe as opposed to Round Up. Both of these
chemicals work by burning the foliage of the target weed, but leave the root system intact
allowing the weed to re‐grow. The City of Irvine found it takes about four applications of an
organic herbicide to kill a weed.
Following the meeting with the City of Irvine, the Landscape Division of Public works selected
an area in west Central Park to conduct the organic chemical pilot study. Due to the higher cost
of organic herbicides and the limited resources of the Landscape Division it was not feasible to
spray the entire west side of Central Park. The area selected contained a variety of weeds most
commonly found in the City’s landscaped areas, i.e., Spotted Surge, Kikuyu Grass, Passion Vine,
Ash tree seedlings, Sow Thistle, and Dallas Grass. The goal was to use organic chemicals in the
same manner in which the City already uses inorganic chemicals, i.e., chemically edging around
pathways, planters and spraying tree wells to prevent trees from being injured by mechanical
tools.
The first organic chemical selected for testing was Avenger AG. Avenger AG was selected for
testing prior to meeting with the City of Irvine and other interested parties. Avenger AG was
selected because it is in the lowest category for hazard to health according to its caution label.
Merchants Landscape, the landscape contractor for the City of Huntington Beach, applied
Avenger AG in west Central Park just west of the Shipley Nature Center. Avenger AG proved to
be ineffective at controlling most broadleaf weeds and only semi‐effective at controlling
grasses.
Next, following Irvine’s example, the City’s Landscape Division tested Suppress EC and Scythe,
the same organic chemicals Irvine is currently using. The Landscape Division applied a 9%
solution of Suppress EC on May 25, 2017 to the triangle area in west Central Park and
performed a follow‐up inspection and second application on June 13, 2017. The initial follow‐up
inspection revealed that while the weeds and grasses had been burnt by the organic chemical
they had all recovered and began growing again prompting the second application.
A third application of Suppress EC and Scythe was made on June 19, 2017 at a 9% solution for
the Suppress EC and 10% solution for the Scythe. A follow‐up inspection was performed one
HB -420-Item 17. - 4
week later following that application. The results of that inspection revealed that the two
chemicals mixed together only performed slightly better than Suppress EC on its own.
A forth application was applied on June 29, 2017 of the Suppress EC and 10% Scythe and follow
up inspection a week later concluded that the weeds and grasses had been burnt by the organic
chemical and had all recovered and began growing again.
Note: Suppress EC belongs to a higher hazard category with a warning label which is more
hazardous to the applicator. Round Up has a caution label.
The EPA labels are as follows:
CAUTION means the pesticide product is slightly toxic if eaten, absorbed through the skin,
inhaled, or it causes slight eye or skin irritation.
WARNING indicates the pesticide product is moderately toxic if eaten, absorbed through the
skin, inhaled, or it causes moderate eye or skin irritation.
DANGER means that the pesticide product is highly toxic by at least one route of exposure. It
may be corrosive, causing irreversible damage to the skin or eyes. Alternatively, it may be
highly toxic if eaten, absorbed through the skin, or inhaled. If this is the case, then the word
“POISON” must also be included in red letters on the front panel of the product label.
Conclusions and Costs Three Options
Organic Chemicals in the right‐of‐way and City Parks:
Early conclusions from our test indicate multiple or continuous applications of organic
chemicals to mediate weeds for an acceptable level of service in the right‐of‐way and in city
parks. Further testing over a longer duration will allow us to find a break point at which the
weeds will stay suppressed. At that point a more accurate determination can be made for the
overall cost of material and labor. This option may be the most costly due to the number of
acres of parks and material needed for multiple applications.
Irvine Model‐Organic Chemicals in the right‐of‐way, chemical free in City Parks:
As mentioned earlier in this report the City of Irvine has opted to not use any chemical
applications for weed control and opting to manually weed abate in city parks, but to utilize
organic chemicals in the right‐of‐way. They have hired six contracted employees for that
process. Those six employees are dedicated to weed abate approximately 572 acres of
developed parks. The City of Huntington Beach is comparable in size with approximately 583
acres of developed parks. If the City decided to follow Irvine’s lead and discontinue the use of
any herbicide in the parks and utilize organic chemicals in the right‐of‐way, the budget increase
for labor and organic chemicals would cost approximately $826,000 and increase the budget
approximately 30% of the Landscape Division’s overall budget of $2.9 million dollars.
HB -421-Item 17. - 5
Manual Weed Abatement‐Chemical Free:
Another option would be to discontinue the use of any chemicals for weed abatement and
manually weed abate the City’s right‐of‐way and city parks. Manual weed abating is more
effective than organic chemical applications and does not have the same risks to the general
public. The cost for all manual weed abatement would be approximately $540,000 per year
and increase the Landscape Division’s annual budget of $2.9 million dollars 19%.
Also included in this report is the City’s revised Integrated Pest Management Program (IPM) to
address organic chemicals. The Landscape division will continue testing organic chemicals in
West Central Park and update the City Council at their discretion, and continue to refine costs
for an effective organic or chemical free weed abatement program.
Next Steps
Following are options for City Council consideration of this matter and possible direction to
staff. These options incorporate the use of organic pesticides in all City properties as part of the
City's maintenance protocols:
A. City‐wide Pest Management Guiding Principles:
1. Emphasize use of effective organic pesticides in and on all City properties
whenever practical.
2. Limit exposure to any pesticides where children and the general public
congregate.
3. Use EPA Level pesticides in a targeted manner, and only if deemed
necessary to protect public health and economic impact by a licensed pest
control adviser and City staff, when pests cannot be managed by other
methods.
B. The Landscape Maintenance IPM policy could be modified as follows:
1. Parks, Fields and Playgrounds ‐ Prioritized Use of Pesticides:
a. Use organic pesticides first, when pesticides are needed.
b. Use Clean Water Act allowed pesticides.
c. EPA Level Ill "caution" label pesticide only when deemed necessary to
protect public health and economic impact by a licensed pest control
adviser and City staff.
2. Rights of Way (Street medians/parkways) ‐ Prioritized Use of Pesticides:
a. Use organic pesticides first, when pesticides are needed.
b. Use Clean Water Act allowed pesticides.
c. EPA Level Ill "caution" label pesticide only if deemed necessary to
protect public health and economic impact by a licensed pest control
adviser and City staff.
d. EPA Level II "warning" label pesticides, only if deemed necessary to
protect public health and economic impact by a licensed pest control
adviser and City staff, when other methods do not adequately control
the pest.
HB -422-Item 17. - 6
e. EPA Level I "danger" label pesticides, only if deemed necessary to
protect public health and economic impact by a licensed pest
control adviser and City staff, when other methods do
not adequately control the pest.
3. Facilities/Buildings ‐ Prioritized Use of Pesticides:
a. Use organic pesticides first, when pesticides are needed.
b. Use Clean Water Act allowed pesticides.
c. Bait formulations of insecticides will be used where appropriate.
d. EPA Level Ill "caution" label pesticide only if deemed
necessary to protect public health and economic
impact by a licensed pest control adviser and City
staff.
e. EPA Level II "warning" label pesticides, only if deemed
necessary to protect public health and economic impact
by a licensed pest control adviser and City staff, when
other methods do not adequately control the pest.
f. EPA Level I "danger" label pesticides, only if deemed
necessary to protect public health and economic
impact by a licensed pest control adviser and City staff,
when other methods do not adequately control the
pest.
4. Other City Properties ‐ Prioritized Use of Pesticides:
a. Use organic pesticides first, when pesticides are needed.
b. Use Clean Water Act allowed pesticides.
c. EPA Level Ill "caution" label pesticide only if deemed
necessary to protect public health and economic
impact by a licensed pest control adviser and City
staff.
d. EPA Level II "warning" label pesticides, only if
deemed necessary to protect public health and
economic impact by a licensed pest control adviser and
City staff, when other methods do not adequately
control the pest.
e. EPA Level I "danger" label pesticides, only if deemed
necessary to protect public health and economic
impact by a licensed pest control adviser and City
staff, when other methods do not adequately
control the pest.
With this prioritized approach, organic pesticides would be used first and as long as they are
effective managing pests to meet the City’s standards. The second tier, "Clean Water Act
HB -423-Item 17. - 7
allowed pesticides" would exclude pesticides containing chemicals on the State list known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. This State list is updated annually based
on input from two scientific committees, and other measures, to address changing information.
Synthetic pesticides would be used only if other treatment options fail to control pests posing a
risk to public health and economic impact. Prohibiting the use of synthetic pesticides could
leave the City vulnerable to infestations and loss of plant materials on City property.
HB -424-Item 17. - 8
Integrated Pest Management Program
PURPOSE: To establish criteria for an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program.
Components of an IPM Program
An IPM program is a long-term, multi-faceted system to manage pests. Use of pesticides is a
short-term solution to pest problems and should be used only when the other components fail to
maintain the pests or their damage below an acceptable level. Successful IPM practitioners are
knowledgeable about the biology of the plants and pests and successful IPM programs primarily
use combinations of cultural practices as well as a combination of physical, mechanical and
biological controls.
Pest Identification
It is important to learn to identify all stages of common pests at each site. For example, if you
can identify weed seedlings, you can control them before they become larger and more difficult
to control and before they flower, disseminating seeds throughout the site. It is also important to
be sure that a pest is actually causing the problem. Often damage such as wilting is attributed to
root disease but may actually be caused by under watering or wind damage.
Prevention
Good pest prevention practices are critical to any IPM program, and can be very effective in
reducing pest incidence. Numerous practices can be used to prevent pest incidence and reduce
pest population buildup such as the use of resistant varieties, good sanitary practices and proper
plant culture. Examples of prevention include choosing an appropriate location for planting,
making sure the root system is able to grow adequately and selecting plants that are compatible
with the site’s environment.
Monitoring
The basis of IPM is the development and use of a regular monitoring or scouting program.
Monitoring involves examining plants and surrounding areas for pests, examining tools such as
sticky traps for insect pests and quantitatively or qualitatively measuring the pest population size
or injury. This information can be used to determine if pest populations are increasing,
decreasing, or staying the same and to determine when to use a control tactic. Weather and other
environmental conditions may also play a factor in whether a pest outbreak may occur so it is
important to monitor temperature and soil moisture as well.
It is important to use a systematic approach when monitoring, for example you should examine
leaves of a similar age each time you check for pests, rather than looking at the older leaves on
HB -425-Item 17. - 9
some plants and younger ones on others. Randomly looking at a plant and its leaves does not
allow you to track changes in pest population or damage over time.
It is important to establish and maintain a record-keeping system to evaluate and improve your
IPM program. Records should include information such as date of examination, pests found, size
and extent of the infestation, location of the infestation, control options utilized, effectiveness of
the control options, labor and material costs.
Injury Levels and Action Thresholds
In order to have a way to determine when a control measure should be taken, injury levels and
action thresholds must be set for each pest. An injury level is the level of unacceptable damage.
For example, the injury level for a leaf-feeding beetle may be set at 30% of the leaves being
damaged. Action thresholds are the set of conditions required to trigger a control action. An
example of this would be finding an average of 5 or more beetles on 10 shrubs in a location.
Action thresholds are set from previous experience or published recommendations and based on
expected injury levels. Injury levels are often set by the public’s comments.
Pest Control Tactics
Integrated pest management programs use a variety of pest control tactics in a compatible
manner that minimizes adverse effects to the environment. A combination of several control
tactics is usually more effective in minimizing pest damage than any single control method. The
type of control that an agency selects will likely vary on a case-by-case basis due to the varying
site conditions.
The primary pest control tactics to choose from include:
Cultural
Mechanical/Physical
Biological
Pesticide
Cultural Controls
Cultural controls are modifications of normal plant care activities that reduce or prevent pests. In
addition to those methods used in the pest preventions, other cultural control methods include
adjusting the frequency and amount of irrigation, fertilization, and mowing height. For example,
spider mite infestations are worse on water-stressed plants, over-fertilization may cause
succulent growth which then encourages aphids, too low of a mowing height may thin turf and
allow weeds to become established.
HB -426-Item 17. - 10
Mechanical/Physical Controls
Mechanical control tactics involve the use of manual labor and machinery to reduce or eliminate
pest problems using methods such as handpicking, physical barriers, or machinery to reduce pest
abundance indirectly. Examples include hand-pulling or hoeing and applying mulch to control
weeds, using trap boards for snails and slugs, and use of traps for gophers.
The use of physical manipulations that indirectly control or prevent pests by altering
temperature, light, and humidity can be effective in controlling pests. Although in outdoor
situations these tactics are difficult to use for most pests, they can be effective in controlling
birds and mammals if their habitat can be modified such that they do not choose to live or roost
in the area. Examples include removing garbage in a timely manner and using netting or wire to
prevent bird from roosting.
Biological Controls
Biological control practices use living organisms to reduce pest populations. These organisms
are often also referred to as beneficials, natural enemies or biocontrols. They act to keep pest
populations low enough to prevent significant economic damage. Biocontrols include
pathogens, parasites, predators, competitive species, and antagonistic organisms. Beneficial
organisms can occur naturally or can be purchased and released.
The most common organisms used for biological control in landscapes are predators, parasites,
pathogens and herbivores.
Predators are organisms that eat their prey (e.g. Ladybugs).
Parasites spend part or all of their life cycle associated with their host. Common
parasites lay their eggs in or on their host and then the eggs hatch; the larvae feed on the
host, killing it (e.g. tiny stingless wasps for aphids and whiteflies).
Pathogens are microscopic organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi that cause
diseases in pest insects, mites, nematodes, or weeds (e.g. Bacillus thuringiensis or BT).
Herbivores are insects or animals that feed on plants. These are effective for weed
control. Biocontrols for weeds eat seeds, leaves, or tunnel into plant stems (e.g. goats
and some seed and stem borers).
HB -427-Item 17. - 11
In order to conserve naturally occurring beneficials, broad-spectrum pesticides should not be
used since the use of these types of pesticides may result in secondary pest outbreak due to the
mortality of natural enemies that may be keeping other pests under control.
Pesticide Controls
Any substance used for defoliating plants, regulating plant growth or preventing, destroying,
repelling or mitigating any pest, is a pesticide. Insecticides, miticides, herbicides, fungicides,
rodenticides and molluscides are all pesticides. Anything with an EPA or DPR registration
number on the label is a non-exempt pesticide.
Pesticides should only be used when other methods fail to provide adequate control of pests and
just before pest populations cause unacceptable damage. The overuse of pesticides can cause
beneficial organisms to be killed and pest resistance to develop. When pesticides must be used,
considerations should be made for how to use them most successfully. Avoid pesticides that are
broad-spectrum and relatively persistent since these are the ones that can cause the most
environmental damage and increase the likelihood of pesticide resistance. Always choose the
most specific but least toxic to non-target organisms method.
In addition, considerations should be given to the proximity to water bodies, irrigation schedules,
weather (rain or wind), etc. that are secondary factors that may result in the pesticide being
moved off-site into the environment. Consideration should be made of the temporary loss of use
of an area (application in a park may result in the area being sectioned off.
All users of pesticides should regularly monitor the California Department of Pesticide
Regulation web site www.cdpr.ca.gov to incorporate current legislative and/or regulatory
changes into the program.
POLICY: The City of Huntington Beach will focus on long term prevention or suppression
of pest problems with minimum impact on human health, the environment, and non target
organisms with the limited use of pesticides for parks, fields and playgrounds; in accordance
with City wide Pest Management Principles.
City wide Pest Management Principles
A. Use of organic pesticides in all city properties.
B. Limit exposure to any pesticides where children and the general public congregate.
HB -428-Item 17. - 12
C. Incorporate additional guidance on use of pesticides for city rights of way, facilities and
other properties owned by the city.
D. Use EPA level pesticides in a targeted manner and only if deemed necessary to protect
public health and economic loss by a licensed pest control advisor and/or city staff, when
pests cannot be managed by other methods that we would have.
PROCEDURES:
The procedures seek to increase the long-term prevention and suppression of pest
problems (insects, weeds, diseases, and vertebrates) with the minimum impact on
human health, the environment, and non-target organisms. Emphasis is placed on
improving cultural practices to prevent problems and utilizing alternative control
measures instead of broad spectrum pesticides.
Information on the latest IPM information including management of new pests in the
landscape is obtained from local UC Cooperative Extension Advisors, UC IPM Regional
Advisor, or the Statewide UC IPM Web Site at www.ipm.ucdavis.edu.

Personnel responsible for the care and maintenance of facilities under the above-
mentioned jurisdiction agree to implement a suite of basic integrated pest management
procedures selected from the following five main components of an IPM program:
I) Prevention
II) Pest and Symptom Identification
III) Monitoring for Pests and Problems
IV) Action Thresholds and Guidelines
V) Selection of Appropriate Management Methods (Control Tactics)
HB -429-Item 17. - 13
I. PREVENTION
A. Landscape Design Procedures (a minimum of three must be selected)
Drainage, soil characteristics, water quality and availability are considered
during plant selection.
Sun exposure, heat, and high temperature conditions are considered
during plant selection.
Adequate space is allowed for root growth, especially trees.
Nursery stock is inspected and rejected if not healthy (injuries, diseased,
circling roots/potbound, poor staking and/or pruning).
Pest resistant species and cultivars are selected.
Plants with similar growth characteristics and irrigation requirements are
grouped together.
Landscape design matches available irrigation technology to avoid excess
water use and to minimize surface runoff.
B. Site Preparation and Planting Procedures (a minimum of three must be
selected)
Assess soil drainage properties and improve compacted soils prior to
planting.
Conduct a soil analysis to determine chemical and physical properties of
the existing soil and then add appropriate amendments such as organic
matter.
Ensure irrigation is installed as designed in order to avoid poor uniformity
once plants are in place.
Follow proper planting procedures for particular plant species to avoid
planting too deeply or too shallow.
Nursery tree stakes are removed at planting and replaced with staking that
allows trunk to flex; removing these stakes after 1 to 1.5 years.
Utilize a soil probe or other soil moisture measurement device to monitor
soil moisture levels in existing root ball and surrounding soil during
establishment period.
HB -430-Item 17. - 14
C. Water Management (a minimum of three must be selected)
Plants are examined weekly for symptoms of water stress and to assist in
determining irrigation scheduling.
Monitor soil moisture with a soil probe or soil moisture sensors to assist in
scheduling irrigation.
Utilize evapotranspiration (ET) data or ‘smart’ clock technology to
schedule irrigation.
Cyclic irrigation (short-multiple run times) is employed to minimize surface
runoff.
Utilize low precipitation sprinklers or low-volume systems to reduce
surface runoff.
Systems are inspected monthly to check for leaks, broken pipes, and
clogged or broken sprinkler heads.
Adjust sprinklers to avoid application of water directly to the trunk of trees
(can promote disease) or on to concrete surfaces where it can enter storm
drains.
Establish a hotline or email or other dedicated method where citizens can
report leaks and broken sprinkler heads
D. Fertilizing Procedures (a minimum of three must be selected)
Fertilize only when plants are actively growing to avoid nutrient losses
below the root zone.
Fertilizer is not applied within 48 hours of a rain event to avoid losses
below the root zone and in surface runoff.
Soil analyses are conducted in order to determine existing nutrient levels
in the soil prior to fertilizing.
Overfertilization, especially of trees and shrubs, is avoided to ensure plant
growth is not excessively succulent making it more susceptible to pest
infestations.
Off-target fertilizer applications or spills are cleaned up immediately by
sweeping up and applying to landscape or turf or replacing in spreader or
bag to ensure material does not enter storm drains.
HB -431-Item 17. - 15
E. Pruning Procedures (a minimum of three must be selected)
Damaged or diseased wood is regularly pruned from landscape plants.
Trees are pruned according to standards set forth by a professional tree
care organization such as the International Society of Arboriculture.
Replace plants too large for a space instead of pruning them severely.
Unnecessary pruning is avoided as wounds are entry sites for decay and
disease organisms.
The age and species of the plant is taken into account when determining
the time of year to prune. For example, eucalyptus should be pruned in
December and January when long-horned beetles are not active.
Tree height reduction is discouraged. When deemed necessary by a
licensed arborist, the crown reduction method approved by a professional
tree care organization is utilized. Topping is never done to reduce tree
size. NO TOPPING OR 'HAT RACKING' IS PERMITTED.
II. PEST AND SYMPTOM IDENTIFICATION
A. Insects, Mites, and Snails and Slugs (a minimum of three must be selected)
Field personnel are trained to recognize basic pests found in the
landscape in the following groups: insects, mites, and mollusks.
A licensed Pest Control Adviser is on staff or hired to properly identify a

spread throughout the landscape.
Disease signs and symptoms are sampled and submitted to the Orange
County Agricultural Commissioner for identification by the county plant
pathologist.
A licensed Pest Control Adviser is on staff or contracted to properly
identify the pest.
Photographs of disease signs and symptoms are taken and compared to
reference guides such as UC IPM’s Pests of Landscape Trees and
Shrubs.
D. Vertebrates (a minimum of one must be selected)
Field personnel are trained to recognize vertebrate pests and the damage
they cause in the landscape.
Field personnel are trained to utilize vertebrate behavior to properly
control the pest most effectively.

trapping.
HB -433-Item 17. - 17
A licensed Pest Control Adviser is on staff or contracted to properly
identify vertebrate pest.
III. MONITORING FOR PESTS AND PROBLEMS
A. Insect/Mollusk Monitoring Procedures (a minimum of three must be
selected)
Visually inspect plants for insects, mites, snail and slug damage at least
monthly; recording results utilizing a method conducive to tracking
changes and easy recall of data.
Yellow sticky traps are utilized to assess populations of insects.
Insects are dislodged from plants by shaking over a collection surface
usually consisting of a clipboard with a white sheet of paper.
If available for a particular insect, phermone-baited traps are utilized.
Soil-dwelling turf insects are brought to the surface for monitoring by
flushing a specific area of soil (i.e. 2’ x 2’ grid) with plain water or a soapy
water mixture.
The amount of honeydew (aphids) and frass (caterpillars) present is
utilized as an indicator of population levels.
B. Weed Monitoring Procedures (a minimum of two must be selected)
Landscapes are inspected at least 4 times a year (early winter, early
spring, summer and early fall) for weeds in order to determine if and when
a weed problem exists.
Utilize site surveys to record the location, date, and severity of weed
problem; recording results utilizing a method conducive to tracking
changes and easy recall of data.
Count and record the number of weeds encountered at periodic intervals
(e.g. every 1 to 2 feet) along a straight line transecting a landscapes area
or within a selected area, for example 4 sq. ft. samples done in random
places in a bed or turf area.
HB -434-Item 17. - 18
C. Disease Monitoring Procedures (a minimum of two must be selected)
Landscapes are regularly checked for conditions, such as overwatering
and injuries, which promote disease.
Landscapes are checked monthly, at a minimum, for disease symptoms
and signs. Disease prone plants are checked more frequently.
Records are kept utilizing a method conducive to tracking changes and
easy recall of data of each landscape inspection noting, date when
disease signs and symptoms were first noticed and the current
environmental conditions and soil moisture levels.
D. Vertebrate Monitoring Procedures (a minimum of two must be selected)
Landscapes are regularly inspected for vertebrate presence either by
damage caused by animal, actual animal sightings, and/or droppings.
Records are kept of the absence or presence of actual vertebrates, the
damage caused, and/or the presence or absence of droppings.
Maps are created and updated at least twice a year, recording area of
high vertebrate damage or signs (such as gopher mounds).
IV. ACTION THRESHOLDS AND GUIDELINES
A. Insect/Mollusk Thresholds and Guidelines (a minimum of one must be
selected)
Insect tolerance levels are established based on the public’s acceptance
of damage to the landscape or a certain level of nuisance pests (i.e. ants),
the actual plant species in the landscape, and long-term monitoring and
knowledge of pests causing the damage.
Thresholds are based on levels were reasonable control of the pest can
be achieved with minimum impact on the environment.
Insect monitoring records are utilized to establish threshold levels for the
implementation of control strategies. For example, the threshold for the
presence of aphids on a rose garden at City Hall is low, while in a native
shrub border it might be considerably higher.
HB -435-Item 17. - 19
B. Weed Thresholds and Guidelines (a minimum of one must be selected)
Weed tolerance levels are established based on public safety or the
public’s acceptance and the resources available to manage the landscape
at that level.
Weed monitoring records are utilized to rank the percentage of the
landscape area infested (none, light, moderate, heavy, or very heavy) with
weeds.
Public areas are ranked according to high, medium, or low level of weed
control and management conducted according to levels set for each rank
(see Appendix A)
C. Disease Thresholds and Guidelines (a minimum of one must be selected)
Disease tolerance levels are established based on the public’s acceptance
and the resources available to manage the landscape at the level
required.
Disease monitoring records are utilized to establish threshold levels for the
implementation of control strategies. For example, the threshold for the
presence of powdery mildew on roses at City Hall is much lower than the
threshold for its presence on Euonymus in a parking lot at a city sports
park.
D. Vertebrate Thresholds and Guidelines (a minimum of one must be
selected)
Vertebrate tolerance levels are established based on public safety, the
public’s acceptance and the resources available to manage the landscape
at the level required.
Vertebrate monitoring records are utilized to establish threshold levels for
the implementation of control strategies. For example, the threshold for
the presence of gopher mounds in a sport field is zero, while in a native
shrub border it might be two before a trapping strategy is implemented.
HB -436-Item 17. - 20
V. SELECTION OF APPROPRIATE MANAGEMENT METHODS
A. Insect/Mollusk Management Methods
Cultural/Mechanical/Physical Control Methods (a minimum of three methods
must be selected)
Sticky barriers are applied to trunks of trees and large shrubs to prevent
ants and other wingless invertebrates from plant canopies.
Small insect infestations are removed by pruning infested plant parts.
Copper bands are installed around base of trees or planting areas where
snail and slug infestations are prevalent.
Plant canopies are thinned to increase light penetration to exposure
certain soft-bodied insects (soft-scale) as well as snails and slugs to heat.
Strong streams of water are used to dislodge insects such as aphids and
whiteflies, from leaves.
Avoid use of plants that snails and slugs use for shelter.
Avoid irrigating between 5pm and 5am when moisture remains on plant
material for several hours.
Biological Control Methods (a minimum of one method must be selected)
Persistent broad-spectrum pesticides are avoided, especially if biological
control of an insect has been established by UC researchers. Examples
include parasitoid wasps controlling Eugenia Psyllids, Giant Whitefly, and
Ash Whitefly.
Natural predators (beneficial insects) are augmented with purchases of
additional predators from commercially available resources.
Pesticide Control Methods (a minimum of five methods from must be selected)
The most selective, rather than broad-spectrum, pesticide is used
If available for controlling a particular insect, biological and botanical
pesticides are selected
Insecticidal soaps are utilized to control infestations of soft-bodied insects
such as aphids, thrips, and immature scales.
HB -437-Item 17. - 21
Horticultural oils (neem oil and narrow-range refined oils) are utilized to
control infestations of soft-bodied immature and adult insects such as
aphids, scales, and whiteflies.
Pesticides are only utilized when the potential for impacts to the
environment, especially water quality, are minimized.
Equipment is calibrated prior to the application of the insecticide to avoid
excess material being applied to the landscape environment.
Applicators are trained to not apply pesticides to hard surfaces and to not
allow any pesticide to enter the storm drain system
Spot treatments are utilized rather than broadcast methods
Insecticide/fertilizer combinations are only used if appropriate timing for
BOTH the insecticide application and the fertilizer application.
B. Weed Management Methods
Cultural, Mechanical, and Physical Control Methods (a minimum of three
methods must be selected)
Timers are set to avoid overwatering as weeds establish in areas where
soil moisture is excessive.
Drainage is managed to avoid wet areas.
Weeds are removed from a site prior to planting.
Mower height is adjusted to turf species and time of year.
Mower is washed after mowing a weedy site.
Hand-pulling, mowing, trimmers/brushcutters, flaming, hoeing, and
rototilling around landscape plants are the main methods utilized to control
annual weeds and young perennial weeds.
Soil solarization is utilized to control some annual and perennial weed
species.
Bare soil areas are covered with a thick layer of mulch to suppress weeds
and conserve soil moisture.
Soil, mulch, and plant material is weed-free before it is introduced into the
landscape.
HB -438-Item 17. - 22
Pesticide Control Methods (a minimum of three methods must be selected)
Spot treatments are utilized rather than broadcast methods.
Herbicide/fertilizer combinations are only used if appropriate timing for
BOTH the herbicide application and the fertilizer application.
Herbicides are utilized according to established thresholds (see Appendix
A).
Organically acceptable herbicides (shown to be effective through science-
based research) are used where appropriate.
Herbicides are applied to the stage of weed growth most susceptible to
the chemical.
Equipment is calibrated prior to the application of the herbicide to avoid
excess material being applied to the landscape environment.
C. Disease Management Methods
Cultural, Mechanical, and Physical Control Methods (a minimum of three
methods must be selected)
Prune out and dispose of localized areas of diseased plants.
Pathogen-infested plant parts are removed from the soil surface area to
reduce certain pathogens (e.g. Camellia Petal Blight).
Pruning tools are sterilized (e.g. a diluted bleach solution) between plants
to prevent the spread of pathogen to other plants.
Proper irrigation and fertilization are maintained to prevent plant stress,
water-logging, and subsequent susceptibility to disease.
Soil solarization is utilized to control soil pathogens in annual beds where
it is most effective.
Mulch is kept at least 6” from base of plants to avoid excessive moisture
around crown possibly resulting in crown rots and is no deeper than 4”
Replace disease-prone plants with non-susceptible species.
HB -439-Item 17. - 23
Pesticide Control Methods (a minimum of two methods must be selected)
Preventative fungicides and bactericides are only used where diseases
can be predicted from environmental conditions and applied prior to
infection or the appearance of symptoms.
Synthetic fungicides are used sparingly in the landscape and only in high
visibility areas in order to minimize development of resistance.
Organic fungicides and bactericides are utilized in combination with
cultural, mechanical, and physical control methods in order to improve
their effectiveness.
Copper-based fungicides are only utilized in situations where its entry into
surface runoff and storm drains is virtually impossible and after
consultation with PCA and IPM coordinator.
Mycopesticides, commercially available beneficial microorganisms, are
used where appropriate.
Fungicides classes are rotated to avoid resistance.
D. Vertebrate Management Methods
Cultural and Physical Control Methods (a minimum of two methods must be
selected)
Groundcovers are maintained such that they do not harbor rats.
Shrubs pruned at least 1 foot from the ground (rats).
Sources of drinking water removed (leaky faucets, puddles).
Trash cans have lids and are emptied daily (rats).
Screens or other barriers installed under structures that have a space
between soil and floor (rabbits).
Habitat modification, based on pest biology is used to reduce shelter.
Trapping is used for gophers when safe and practical.
Kill traps used for ground squirrels and rabbits, are checked daily, and in
places not accessible by children or non-target animals.
Gas cartridges are used for ground squirrels according to UC
recommendations.
HB -440-Item 17. - 24
Pesticide Control Methods (a minimum of two methods must be selected)
Anti-coagulant baits are used and applied according to label.
Bait is applied in a manner that non-target animals do not access to it.
Restricted use rodenticides, aluminum or zinc phosphide, are used only
after applicator has been trained for that product or only by a wildlife
management contractor.
VI. GENERAL PESTICIDE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
(all practices listed below must be selected)
Restricted use pesticides are only used when no other alternatives are
practical.
If pesticides are necessary, CAUTION-labeled pesticides are considered
before more toxic alternatives.
Only small quantities of pesticides are purchased eliminating the need for
stockpiling.
MSDSs are regularly updated to reflect new pesticides or label changes to
pesticides in storage.
Pyrethroid based chemicals are applied according to current (July 2012)
DPR regulations and are only scheduled after rain forecast monitoring.
HB -441-Item 17. - 25
Appendix A
Ranking public areas for weeds (or other pest) management:
Areas ranked as HIGH may include areas that the public sees and expects to be well-
maintained. Examples are entrances to public buildings such as city hall and libraries.
These areas are allowed to use pesticides based on established thresholds.
Areas ranked as MEDIUM may include areas the public sees but does not expect a high
level of maintenance. Examples are landscaped areas away from the entrance,
recreational and picnic areas. These areas can tolerate a higher level of weeds.
These areas are allowed to use pesticides but the threshold is much higher and
pesticides are used infrequently and only after consultation with IPM coordinator.
Areas ranked as LOW may include areas the public rarely sees or does not expect a
high level of maintenance. Examples are medians, landscaped areas in parking lots,
wildlands. These areas can tolerate a higher level of weeds.
These areas are not allowed to use pesticides except in extreme cases and only after
consultation with IPM coordinator.

Analysis:
On January 19, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2010-05, which established
standard conditions of approval applicable to any new Conditional Use Permit and any
amendments to an existing Conditional Use Permit for an eating and drinking establishment with
alcoholic beverage sales and/or live entertainment located within the Downtown Specific Plan area,
District 1. The objective was to improve the downtown environment by addressing late night,
alcohol-related problems. Since 2010, the Council amended the Resolution in 2011 through
Resolution No. 2011-16, and again in 2013 through Resolution No. 2013-24. Each amendment
refined, modified, and clarified the standard conditions of approval.
Many eating and drinking establishments in downtown were established prior to the adoption of the
Resolution and, therefore, were not subject to the standard conditions of approval. Recently, some
of these establishments proposed improvements and/or land use activity that triggered the
application of the standard conditions. This has resulted in hardship because these businesses
were required to modify hours of operation and close at 12:00 Midnight, despite the fact these
establishments have been operating until 1:30 AM or 2:00 AM for several years. For this reason,
on March 6, 2017, the Council directed City staff to collaborate with the City Attorney and present
options for modifying the standard conditions of approval in Resolution No. 2013-24.
Modified Resolution
Through collaboration between Police Department, Community Development Department, and the
City Attorney’s Office, the resulting resolution modifies Resolution No. 2013-24 in the following
areas.
1. Responsibility for administration of deviations to standard conditions of approval. In accordance
with Resolution No. 2013-24, an applicant may request to deviate from any of the standard
conditions of approval as part of a Conditional Use Permit with a public hearing, and only the
City Council has the authority to approve such deviation. Therefore, the requested deviation is
first reviewed by the Planning Commission at a public hearing, a recommended action is
forwarded to the City Council, and the Council makes the final decision following a public
hearing. The proposed modification to the Resolution allows any decision-making body (i.e.,
the Zoning Administrator, Planning Commission, or City Council) to approve deviations from the
standard conditions as part of a Conditional Use Permit process with public hearing. This
modification is intended to shorten the process for requested deviations. All decisions are still
subject to the standard appeal process.
2. Criteria for evaluating deviations from standard conditions of approval. Currently, Resolution
No. 2013-24 does not include findings that guide decision-makers when considering requested
deviations from the standard conditions of approval. The proposed modification to the
Resolution establishes criteria for approval and guidance for staff in formulating
recommendations on any requested deviations. Criteria includes operational and business
characteristics, distance from residential land uses, available on-site parking, presence of on-
site security, established alcohol and noise controls, floor plan design, etc. This modification is
intended to provide clear criteria for approval.
3. Guidelines for revocation of Conditional Use Permits. Currently, Resolution No. 2013-24 does
not include guidelines for scheduling a Conditional Use Permit revocation hearing. Although
there is a process in the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance for revoking discretionary permits
when there are reasonable grounds, the proposed modification to the Resolution would require
a revocation hearing be scheduled in the event the business or operator has received
HB -452-Item 18. - 2
Dept. ID CD 17-009 Page 3 of 3
Meeting Date: 8/7/2017
substantiated violations of the Conditional Use Permit, including citations for violation of any
City, State, or Federal Law.
4. Refines and clarifies the standard list of conditions of approval. The proposed modification to
the Resolution also refines and modifies the standard list of conditions of approval to
consolidate similar conditions, provide clarification, and update the overall list to be reflective of
current standards for responsible alcoholic beverage service.
Upon adoption of the proposed modified resolution, Resolution No. 2013-24 will be repealed. All
conditions contained in Exhibit A will apply to any new application for a Conditional Use Permit,
made subsequent to adoption, for the establishment of any eating and drinking establishment with
alcoholic beverage sales, as well as any amendment to an existing Conditional Use Permit, located
within the Downtown Specific Plan area, District 1. Additionally, all conditions contained in Exhibit
B will apply to any new application for a Conditional Use Permit, made subsequent to adoption, for
the establishment of any new eating and drinking establishment with alcohol beverage sales and
live entertainment, as well as any amendment to an existing Conditional Use Permit, located within
the Downtown Specific Plan area, District 1. All conditions in the exhibits are identical, except
Exhibit B includes Condition No. 13 which specifically addresses live entertainment. It should be
noted that remodels or expansions to establishments with existing Conditional Use Permits that do
not involve expansions of alcohol service or live entertainment would not be subject to the
resolution.
The City Council could continue this item and direct staff to consider an alternative resolution. One
consideration could be to amend this resolution by adding a requirement for a “written contract”
between the City and business owner, separate from the zoning and land use approval. This
requirement would be intended to address specific requests to extend business hours of operation
beyond 12:00 Midnight. Staff is not recommending this option.
Environmental Status:
Not applicable.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Enhance and maintain public safety

Dept. ID HR 17-007 Page 1 of 2
Meeting Date: 8/7/2017
Statement of Issue:
The City and the Surf City Lifeguard Employees’ Association (SCLEA) have 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:
Adopt Resolution No. 2017-38, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Approving and Implementing the Memorandum of Understanding Between the City and the Surf
City Lifeguard Employees’ Association (SCLEA) for October 1, 2015, through December 31, 2017.”
Alternative Action(s):
Do not adopt Resolution No. 2017-38 approving the 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 over a period of 18
months and have completed the meet and confer process and have agreed upon a successor
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the period October 1, 2015, through December 31,
2017.
The negotiated economic items contained within the MOU are 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 members are not enrolled in the
CalPERS retirement system, instead, those members pay 7.5% of wages earned into a
supplemental system as an alternative to Social Security.

overtime hours, the amount received shall be credited for FLSA purposes toward the next

shift employees shall receive pay at the overtime rate for hours worked in excess of
regularly scheduled hours unless the employee has "lost time" in a regularly scheduled
shift. If there is "lost time" in any regularly scheduled shift, the employee shall receive
overtime pay for only those overtime hours worked in excess of the number of lost time
hours in the bi-weekly pay period.
3. Lost Time Defined — "Lost time" is defined as time when the employee does not work
when regularly scheduled to do so and does not receive a leave of absence with pay.
4. Forty (40) Hour Work Week — Personnel who are not assigned to twenty-four hour shifts
but are assigned to work forty (40) hours per week shall have a twenty-eight (28) day
FLSA work period, which shall correspond to exactly two City pay periods and shall begin
at the same time as a City pay period. Forty (40) hour personnel shall continue to receive
overtime pay for working hours in excess of their regularly scheduled hours.
5. 4/10 Work Schedule Defined — The 4/10 work schedule shall be defined as working four
(4) days at ten (10) hours per day in an FLSA designated work week. Meal periods are
regarded as hours worked for personnel who are subject to call for emergency duty. All
employees on the 4/10 work schedule are subject to be called to work any time to meet
any and all emergencies or unusual conditions which, in the opinion of the City Manager,
Department Head or designee may require such service from said employees.

overtime hour worked.

twenty (120) hours. Compensatory time off may be taken on an hour-for-
hour basis, with the approval of the Fire Chief or his/her sworn designee.

request, provided the request is made by the end of the previous payroll

section 7(k) where it is voluntary on the part of the employees and does not result, over a

identify the accrued sick leave (Accrued) and accrual rate (Constant) based on their
actual work schedule, either a forty (40) hour or fifty-six (56) hour schedule. In the
event of a change in work schedules, personnel will have their accrued sick leave
(Accrued) and accrual rate (Constant) changed to the new schedule using the
conversion factor .7143. Personnel who change from a fifty-six hour (56) schedule
to a forty (40) hour schedule shall multiply their accrual rate by .7143, (see

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.

medical insurance subsidy benefit which the deceased employee was receiving at the time of

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:

LEAVE BENEFITS
(EXAMPLE)
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.

56-hour Firefighter Paramedic employee would accrue sick leave at 5.1691 (3.6923 divided by .7143 --

56-HOUR EMPLOYEE ASSIGNED TO A 40-HOUR POSITION
Upon change of 56-hour Firefighter Paramedic employee to a 40-hour employee.
Accrued sick leave = 1400 hours

have the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence the facts which form the
basis for the charge and that the punitive action was reasonable under the
circumstances.

defense, and the notice shall be deemed a specific denial of all parts of the accusation not

respondent's right to a hearing, but the agency in its discretion may nevertheless grant a
hearing. Unless objection is taken as provided in Government Code Section 11506, all
objections to the form of the accusation shall be deemed waived.

Dept. ID AD-17-022 Page 1 of 2
Meeting Date: 8/7/2017
Statement of Issue:
In order to explore the concept of community choice aggregation (CCA), the City needs to sign a
Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with Southern California Edison (SCE) to obtain customer-class
energy usage data. This data is used to create a Pro Forma and conduct an analysis to see if CCA
would be economically viable for the cities customers (residential, industrial, government, and
commercial).
Financial Impact:
There is no fiscal impact by signing the NDA with SCE.
Recommended Action:
Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the “Community Choice Aggregator
Non-Disclosure Agreement” with Southern California Edison.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not authorize the execution of the Non-Disclosure Agreement and direct staff on next steps.
Analysis:
The first step in investigating a CCA is to obtain data from the utility on customer usage and
complete a feasibility study. A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) will enable the City to receive
energy data that will be analyzed by a firm, selected through a competitive bidding process, to
determine if CCA is feasible. If Council authorizes the City Manager to sign the NDA, and if the
potential margin for cost savings is large enough as identified in the study, the City Council may
elect to continue to investigate the formation of a CCA as a next step. The results of the study will
be presented to the City Council upon completion.
The NDA is a tariff requirement that is confidential. The signing of the NDA is required no matter
what consultant the City wishes to use to conduct the feasibility study. Additionally, the California
Public Records Act explicitly exempts utility customer information from disclosure.
The NDA has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office and has been approved-as-to form.
Concerns were raised about data and the California Public Records Act. These concerns were
vetted by the City Attorney’s Office, and the City and SCE have come to terms on what can and
cannot be shared.

disclosed, disseminated or appropriated by CCA, or used for any purpose (T)
other thanfor CCA Service as permitted under this Agreement and the
Disclosure Provisions.

5. CCA shall, at all times and in perpetuity, keep the Confidential Information in
the strictest confidence and shall take all reasonable measures to prevent
unauthorized or improper disclosure or use of Confidential Information. CCA
shall implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices
appropriate to the nature of the information, to protect the Confidential
Information from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or
disclosure and prohibits the use of the data for a secondary commercial
purpose not related to CCA Service. Specifically, CCA shall restrict access to
Confidential Information, and to materials prepared in connection therewith, to
those employees or representatives of CCA who have a "need to know" such
Confidential Information in the course of their duties with respect to the CCA (T)
Service and who agree to be bound by the nondisclosure and confidentiality
obligations of this Agreement, provided, however, that, an Energy Service
Provider, agent, or any other entity, including entities that provide both direct
access (as codified in Assembly Bill No. 1890, Stats. 1996, ch. 854) and CCA (T)
Service shall limit their utilization of the information provided to the purposes
for which it has been provided and shall not utilize such information, directly or
indirectly, in providing other services, including but not limited to Direct Access
services, in order to effectuate the obligations of this Agreement. Prior to
disclosing any Confidential Information to its employees or representatives,
CCA shall require such employees or representatives to whom Confidential
Information is to be disclosed to review this Agreement and to agree in writing
to be bound by the terms of this Agreement by signing the "Non-Disclosure
Agreement for CCA Employees or Representatives" form attached as Exhibit
A hereto. CCA shall provide Utility with copies of the signed Exhibit A forms at
Utility request. CCA shall also provide Utility with a list of the names, titles,
and addresses for all persons or entities to which Confidential Information is
disclosed in connection herewith ("Disclosure List"). This Disclosure List shall
be updated by CCA on a regular basis, and will be provided to Utility once
each quarter at a minimum.
6. CCA shall be liable for the actions of, or any disclosure or use by, its
employees or representatives contrary to this Agreement; however, such (T)
liability shall not limit or prevent any actions by Utility directly against such
employees or representatives for improper disclosure and/or use. In no event
shall CCA or its employees or representatives take any actions related to
Confidential Information that are inconsistent with holding Confidential
Information in strict confidence. CCA shall immediately notify Utility in writing
if it becomes aware of the possibility of any misuse or misappropriation of the (T)
Confidential Information by CCA or any of its employees or representatives. (T)
However, nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Utility to monitor or enforce
CCA's compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

7. CCA shall comply with the consumer protections and requirements concerning (N)
subsequent disclosure and use of Confidential Information pursuant to CPUC (N)
Decision No. 12-08-045. (N)
8. CCA acknowledges that disclosure or misappropriation of any Confidential (T)
Information could cause irreparable harm to Utility and/or Utility Customers,
the amount of which may be difficult to assess. Accordingly, CCA hereby (T)
confirms that Utility shall be entitled to apply to a court of competent (T)
jurisdiction or the CPUC for an injunction, specific performance or such other
relief (without posting bond) as may be appropriate in the event of improper
disclosure or misuse of its Confidential Information by CCA or its employees
or representatives. Such right shall, however, be construed to be in addition (T)
to any other remedies available to Utility, in law or equity.
9. In addition to all other remedies, CCA shall indemnify and hold harmless (T)
Utility, its affiliates, subsidiaries, parent company, officers, employees, or
agents from and against and claims, actions, suits, liabilities, damages,
losses, expenses and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and
disbursements) attributable to actions or non-actions of CCA and/or its
employees and/or its representatives in connection with the use or disclosure
of Confidential Information.
10. If, at any time, CCA ceases its investigation, pursuit or implementation of
community choice aggregation pursuant to PU Code Section 366.2 et seq.,
CCA shall promptly return or destroy (with written notice to Utility itemizing the
materials destroyed) all Confidential Information then in its possession at the
request of Utility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the nondisclosure obligations
of this Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement. (T)
11. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the successors
and permitted assigns of the Parties hereto. This Agreement shall not be
assigned, however, without the prior written consent of the non-assigning
Party, which consent may be withheld due to the confidential nature of the
information, data and materials covered. (T)
12. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the Parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior discussions,
negotiations, understandings, communications, correspondence and
representations, whether oral or written. This Agreement shall not be
amended, modified or waived except by an instrument in writing, signed by
both Parties, and, specifically, shall not be modified or waived by course of
performance, course of dealing or usage of trade. Any waiver of a right under
this Agreement shall be in writing, but no such writing shall be deemed a
subsequent waiver of that right, or any other right or remedy.

laws.

CITY COUNCIL MEMBER ITEM FOR THE AUGUST 7, 2017, CITY
COUNCIL MEETING — COMMUNITY MEETING ON AIRPORT
NOISE ISSUES
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
Many residents have recently reached out to us expressing concerns about increased noise
relating to the frequency of flights and current flight path into Long Beach Airport. Lately, they
have held informal meetings prompting us to realize that the City should further investigate
these issues and convene a public meeting to better understand the issues surrounding
commercial flight patterns, noise, and understand what remedies are available to the City. The
frequency of flights at the Long Beach Airport has increased since the City commissioned a
report on noise from commercial flights in 2007, and it would behoove the City to better
understand what mitigation measures are available to alleviate resident concerns.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended that the City Manager organize a community meeting so that residents can
voice their concerns on airport issues. This workshop should be held within the next 90 days at
a community facility. In attendance at this workshop should be representatives from the Federal
Aviation Administration and the Long Beach Airport.

COUNCIL MEETING - PERMANENT INFORMATIONAL SIGNS TO
PAY TRIBUTE AND HONOR MEMBERS OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
The city has a program to honor "Home Town Heroes" serving in our Armed Forces. It
should only be fitting that we honor and pay tribute to members of law enforcement that
have sacrificed their lives in this community to keep our residents and visitors safe.
The placement of permanent informational signs for these law enforcement officers
would be erected near the sites of their tragic accidents.
These law enforcement officers are:
1928- Huntington Beach Police Officer Leo Roy 'Le Roy' Darst
1940 - Orange County Deputy Sheriff Ezra Stanley
1974- Huntington Beach Police Officer Leslie James Prince
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
To direct staff and Public Works to install permanent informational signs to pay tribute
and honor members of law enforcement that have been killed in the line-of-duty within
the city boundaries of Huntington Beach.
The sites would be:
1928 - Main Street and Crest Avenue
1940- Pacific Coast Highway at Center Signal
1974- Adams Avenue and Beach Boulevard (SR Highway 39)
