COUNCILMEMBER ITEMS
14. Approved Item Submitted by Councilmembers Brenden and Delgleize to Establish the Air
Traffic Noise Working Group to pursue objectives regarding concerns of increased
airplane noise as amended
Councilmember Brenden introduced this item by sharing actions he and Councilmember Delgleize have
taken since last summer in response to public concerns. Councilmembers Brenden and Delgleize would
like to be the Council liaisons, with up to 10 members of the public, as well as support from staff and
subject experts making up this working group. The highlighted key objectives of the working group would
include defining and prioritizing remedies, acquiring technical data that supports concerns, establish
proper dialogue with appropriate parties in an effort to work collaboratively, implement email and/or letter
campaigns if necessary, and evaluate the feasibility of legal action if all else fails. There should be a
community meeting to share details, and regular updates available on the City's website.
Councilmember Delgleize expressed appreciation for the residents who are persistently speaking out.
She understands the frustration at how slow these processes take when so many different entities are

involved, but is encouraged by the number of local resources and experts that are available and willing to
be involved.
Councilmember O'Connell stated his full support for this effort and anticipation of a successful outcome.
Councilmember Brenden asked that "expect project completion within six (6) months" be added to the
recommended action.
Mayor Pro Tem Peterson provided some background information related to meetings that he and Mayor
Posey have scheduled on this topic with Congressman Rohrabacher. Currently the plan is for a working
meeting within the next three weeks with FAA representatives, subject experts and a citizen
representative from each of the four or five affected neighborhoods to develop a solution that would be
signed off by the FAA. Mayor Pro Tem Peterson's opinion is that the proposed Air Traffic Noise Working
Group is an excellent next step if there is not a satisfactory result from the upcoming working meeting.
Councilmember Semeta stated her support for Mayor Pro Tem Peterson's suggestion that the working
group be implemented if necessary after the currently scheduled FAA meeting.
A substitute motion was made by Peterson, second by Semeta, to table this item for 30 days and then
determine if an Air Traffic Noise Working Group will be necessary, based on the results of the upcoming
working meeting already planned with FAA representatives.
Councilman Brenden stated his appreciation for Mayor Pro Tem Peterson's comments and is glad to
know that the FAA and Congressman Rohrabacher are engaged in the issues. Councilmembers
Brenden and Delgleize voiced their opinions that the scheduled upcoming meeting would enhance the
efforts of the anticipated working group, but they see no reason for any more delay on this item.
Councilmember Hardy expressed her support for the proposed working group to meet before the FAA
meeting, and suggested they would then be ready for action if necessary. Otherwise, in her opinion, it
would mean an unnecessary further delay.
Mayor Posey described the current situation as a result of the Brown Act which guarantees the public's
right to attend and participate in the legislative process, and prohibits a gathering of a quorum to discuss
or transact business, including serial meetings among Council members. In this case, the benefit is an
opportunity to approach the issues from a couple of directions and possibly provide multiple solutions.
Mayor Pro Tem Peterson withdrew his substitute motion and agreed with Councilmember Brenden that
the proposed working group could select a few informed residents with detailed evidence who could be
invited to attend the scheduled FAA meeting.
A motion was made by Brenden, second Delgleize to establish the Air Traffic Noise Working Group, to
be led by two Councilmembers with support from staff and subject matter experts; to pursue the
objectives as defined in the Statement of Issue; with a first meeting to be held on or around January 28th
as schedules permit, as amended to expect completion of project within 6 months.

Councilmember Brenden provided some background details and reviewed current codes related to
alcohol sales. He stated that his proposal is to ask the City Manager to work with the City Attorney to
review current municipal and zoning codes and come back with recommendations for amendments that
would allow for beer and wine sales, service and consumption at eating and drinking establishments
(bona fide restaurants only, which must provide full table service where outdoor dining space is
enclosed) where alcohol is only available with food service. He amended this item by adding that the
recommendations be submitted to the Planning Commission for their consideration.
Councilmember O'Connell stated his support for this item as he believes it will be beneficial for all
involved.
Councilmember Hardy asked that the requirements for fencing, specifics for hours of operation, and how
employees are trained in serving alcohol all be reviewed in this process. She further stated that the
permit should stay with the operator in this case, especially because the City owns the park.
Councilmember Delgleize stated her support for this item.
Councilmember Semeta asked, and City Attorney Gates confirmed, that it is possible to change codes
for specific locations.
Mayor Pro Tem Peterson stated that Conditional Use Permits apply to a location, and having alcohol on
site might create increased security issues for the location. He stated he has opposed this issue in the
past and he will not support it this time.
Councilmember Hardy stated her appreciation and agreement with Mayor Pro Tem Peterson's concerns,
but her support for this item is to see what the recommendations and restrictions could be when the City
owns the land.
Councilmember Brenden understands the concerns expressed by fellow Councilmembers, and that is
why restrictive language was used in the proposal, which he feels makes this a bit different than past
efforts. He also stated this is a unique situation with a lease agreement which the City controls with a
proven vendor.
Councilmember Hardy suggested that the item exclude any reference to beach area, and
Councilmember Delgleize suggested that the recommendation state it is only for Central Park.
Mayor Posey expressed his concerns about possibly opening a door for alcohol sales throughout the
Park and not be restricted to a specific location, but stated his support for the item since it is only seeking
recommendations.
A motion was made by O’Connell, second Delgleize direct the City Manager to work with the City
Attorney to review the Municipal Code and Zoning Code regarding the ability to permit beer and wine

sales, service and consumption at restaurant establishments within the OS-PR Zone, excluding areas
located at the beach, and to draft code modifications that reflect conditions and requirements that apply
to alcohol use in public parks. Submit proposed modifications to the Planning Commission for
consideration.
The motion carried by the following vote:
AYES: O’Connell, Posey, Delgleize, Hardy, and Brenden
NOES: Semeta, and Peterson

Meeting Date: 2/5/2018
Statement of Issue:
This Request for Council Action formally accepts grant funds from the State of California Natural
Resources Agency Department of Parks and Recreation for the Central Park Trail Rehabilitation.
Financial Impact:
The City will receive $35,000 from the State of California Natural Resources Agency Department of
Parks and Recreation. The grant has a matching requirement of a 50 percent match ($35,000).
Matching funds are available in the Park Acquisition and Development Fund (Fund 209) and will
also be appropriated for compliance with match requirements.
Recommended Action:
A) Authorize the City Manager or his designee to accept grant funds from the California Natural
Resources Agency Department of Parks and Recreation; and,
B) Accept and appropriate $35,000 from the State of California, and appropriate an additional
$35,000 in the Parks Acquisition and Development Fund to meet the local match requirement; and,
C) Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute a Deed Restriction on a portion
of the Central Park Trail.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not accept grant funds and direct staff how to proceed.
Analysis:
The Habitat Conservation Fund (HCF) Program allocates approximately $2 million per year to the
California Department of Parks and Recreation to provide grants to local entities to protect fish,
wildlife, and native plant resources; to acquire or develop wildlife corridors and trails; and to provide
for nature-interpretation programs and other programs which bring urban residents into park and
wildlife areas. The California Wildlife Protection Act of 1990, Fish and Game Code, Chapter 9,
defines the program and authorizes grant funding to local agencies.
The City was granted $35,000 to fund improvements to a portion of the Central Park Trail. This
portion of the Central Park Trail links the Urban Forest area to the developed trails in Central Park,

which lead to Huntington Lake, Shipley Nature Center, and the Senior Center. The trail, as it
stands today, is in major need of improvements.
The grant funds will be used to better define the path of travel and improve uneven surfaces over
sections of the trail. Decomposed granite will be applied over existing native soil. Landscape
timbers and interpretive signage will also be placed along the trail. These much needed
improvements will enhance the enjoyment and safety of those who wish to traverse this portion of
Central Park. The project will significantly increase trail opportunities for Huntington Beach
residents and visitors to experience a passive recreation opportunity in the midst of a suburban
setting. Visitors will experience native plants and wildlife as the trail is adjacent to the Raptor
Foraging Habitat site.
In order to receive funding from the State of California, this grant requires that a deed restriction be
recorded on the title to the property. The deed restriction protects the State’s interest in the
property and ensures that the property will be used for purposes consistent with the grant contract.
Environmental Status:
The grant submittal required the preparation of environmental documents pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). As such, in accordance with CEQA, staff has determined that
the work for the restoration of trails and habitat do not result in new or the intensification of
environmental impacts in that no new trails will be constructed and no new swathes of habitat will
be created. Therefore, the restoration project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Class 1, Existing
Facilities, and Class 4, Minor Alterations to Land.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Improve quality of life

Meeting Date: 2/5/2018
Statement of Issue: Pursuant to California Government Code, the Treasurer of the local agency
may render an annual statement of investment policy to the legislative body for consideration and
adoption. The City Treasurer, with the assistance of the Investment Advisory Board, has prepared
an updated investment policy.
Financial Impact: Not Applicable.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution No. 2018-06, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach,
Approving the Statement of Investment Policy 2018.”
Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the attached Resolution and adopt the Investment Policy
and advise staff how to proceed.
Analysis: The City Treasurer is responsible for the administration of the investments of the City of
Huntington Beach. The purpose of the Investment Policy is to establish cash management and
investment guidelines for the investment of the City’s unexpended cash balances, which exclude
employee retirement funds, funds governed by bond indenture agreements and other funds
managed separately. This policy shall apply to each investment transaction and the entire portfolio,
which must comply with the California Government Code, Sections 53600 through 53683, and all
other applicable laws and regulations.
The City’s Investment Policy may be rendered annually to the City Council to ensure its consistency
with the overall objectives of preservation of principal, liquidity and return. The attached Investment
Policy has been reviewed by the City’s Investment Advisory Board and approved as to form by the
City Attorney.
The Investment Policy has been certified by the California Municipal Treasurers Association stating
that it complies with the current State statutes governing the investment practices of local
government entities located within the State of California.
As approved by the City Council on December 18, 2017, the City of Huntington Beach will change
its fiscal reporting year to July 1 through June 30th beginning July 1, 2018. This change to the fiscal
year will allow the City to prepay the annual Calpers unfunded liability cost in July, resulting in an
annual cost savings of approximately $900,000, rising to over $1,000,000 in subsequent years.

Dept. ID CT 18-002 Page 2 of 2
Meeting Date: 2/5/2018
In order that funds for the approximately $24.9 million Calpers prepayment be available in July of
2018, such funds must be invested in a short-term manner. This change to the investment strategy
will provide that an additional 12-14% of the investment portfolio will be invested in opportunities
with a maturity of six months or less in order to match the liability due in July. Consequently, the
Investment Policy benchmark must be adjusted as the investment portfolio will be invested with a
shorter duration to meet the City’s liquidity obligations.
Section 17.1 Market Yield (Benchmark) of the City’s Investment Policy states:
“The investment portfolio shall be managed to attain a market-average rate of return through
budgetary and economic cycles, taking in to account the City’s investment risk constraints and cash
flow.” With the liquidity requirements of the Calpers prepayment, the benchmark shall now be the
12-month moving average of the interpolated 1.5-Year Constant Maturity Treasury (“CMT”) rate.
This will better match the decreased duration of the investment portfolio going forward due to the
requirement of the Calpers lump sum prepayment on an annual basis.
All other aspects of the Investment Policy remain substantially unchanged.

CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
Statement of Investment Policy
1.0 Purpose:
This policy is intended to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of the City’s
unexpended cash balances, and to outline the policies to assist in maximizing the
efficiency of the City’s cash management system while meeting the daily cash flow
demands of the City.
2.0 Policy:
The investment practices and policies of the City of Huntington Beach are based upon
California state law and prudent money management.
3.0 Scope:
This investment policy applies to all financial assets as indicated in Section 3.1 below of
the City of Huntington Beach. These funds are accounted for in the City’s
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
3.1 Funds:
The City Treasurer is responsible for investing the unexpended cash in the City Treasury
for all funds, except for the employee’s pension funds, which are invested separately by
CALPERS, those funds which are invested separately by the City Treasurer under bond
indenture agreements, and funds which are invested separately by the City Treasurer or
trustees under other agreements approved by Council such as the Retiree Medical Trust,
the Post-Employment Section 115 Trust and the Supplemental Pension Trust. The City
Treasurer will strive to maintain the level of investment of this cash (that is not to be
utilized for operating cash flow in the next six months), as close as possible to 100%.
These funds are described in the City’s annual financial report and include:
3.1.1 General Fund
3.1.2 Special Revenue Funds
3.1.3 Capital Project Funds
3.1.4 Enterprise Funds
3.1.5 Trust and Agency Funds
3.1.6 Debt Service Funds
HB -123-Item 6. - 6
4
3.1.7 Infrastructure Funds
3.1.8 Capital Improvement Reserve Funds
3.1.9 Any new fund created by the legislative body, unless specifically exempted
This investment policy applies to all transactions involving the financial assets and
related activity of the foregoing funds. It is the City’s policy to pool funds for investment
purposes to provide efficiencies and economies of scale. Investing through a pooled
account will provide for greater use of funds by allowing for a more efficient cash flow, a
reduction in transaction costs and a greater access to the market.
4.0 Prudence:
The standard of prudence to be used by the City Treasurer shall be the “prudent
investor” standard. This shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio.
The “Prudent Investor Rule” provides, pursuant to California Government Code
Section 53600.3, that investments shall be made with judgment and care—under
circumstances then prevailing—which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence
exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment,
considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to be
derived. The City Treasurer and any designee of the City Treasurer, as investment
officers acting in accordance with written procedures and the investment policy and
exercising due diligence, shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual
security’s credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are
reported to the City Council in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control
adverse developments.
5.0 Objective:
Consistent with this aim, investments are made under the terms and conditions of
California Government Code Section 53600, et seq. Criteria for selecting investments
and the absolute order of priority are:
5.1 Safety:
Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments of
the City of Huntington Beach shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the
preservation of capital in the overall portfolio.
HB -124-Item 6. - 7
5
5.2 Liquidity:
The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City of Huntington
Beach to meet all reasonably anticipated operating requirements and to maintain
compliance with any indenture agreement, as applicable. Liquidity is essential to the
safety of principal. Furthermore, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated,
the portfolio will invest primarily in securities with active secondary and resale markets.
5.3 Return on Investments:
The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market-
average rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles (market interest rates),
within the City of Huntington Beach’s investment policy’s risk parameters and the cash
flow needs of the City. See also Section 17.0.
6.0 Investment Advisory Board:
By City Charter, the City Treasurer is the custodian of all public funds of the City of
Huntington Beach. The City Council members may each appoint one Huntington Beach
resident to serve on an Investment Advisory Board for the purpose of advising the City
Treasurer and the City Council on the City’s investment program. The Investment
Advisory Board will review the investment portfolio for compliance with the adopted
investment policy on a quarterly basis and will prepare an Annual Report.
7.0 Delegation of Authority:
In accordance with the State of California Government Code § 53607, the City Council
delegates investment authority to the City Treasurer for a period of one year and such
investment authority must be renewed annually. Adoption of this policy constitutes
delegation of investment authority to the City Treasurer for the following year unless
revoked in writing. Within the City Treasurer’s office, the responsibility for the day to
day investment of City funds will be the City Treasurer and may be delegated to such
deputy chosen by the City Treasurer in the absence of the City Treasurer (as allowable
per State of California Government Code § 41006). The City Treasurer shall be
responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall establish a system of controls to
regulate the activities of subordinate officials.
HB -125-Item 6. - 8
6
8.0 Ethics and Conflicts of Interest:
In addition to state and local statutes relating to conflicts of interest, all persons involved
in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict
with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to
make impartial investment decisions. Employees and investment officers are required to
file annual disclosure statements as required for "public officials who manage public
investments" (as defined and required by the Political Reform Act and related
regulations, being Government Code Sections 81000 and the Fair Political Practices
Commission (FFPC)).
9.0 Authorized Financial Dealers and Institutions:
The City Treasurer will maintain a list of the financial institutions and broker/dealers
authorized to provide investment and depository services and will perform an annual
review of the financial condition and registrations of such qualified providers. The City
Treasurer will also require annual audited financial statements to be on file for each
company. The City shall annually send a copy of the current investment policy to all
financial institutions and broker/dealers approved to do business with the City.
As far as feasibly possible, all money belonging to, or in the custody of, a local agency,
including money paid to the City Treasurer or other official to pay the principal, interest,
or penalties of bonds, shall be deposited for safekeeping in national or state chartered
banks, savings associations, federal associations, credit unions, or federally insured
industrial loan companies in this state selected by the City Treasurer or other official
having legal custody of the money; or may be invested in the investments set forth in
Section 10.0. To be eligible to receive local agency money, a bank, savings association,
federal association, or federally insured industrial loan company shall have received an
overall rating of not less than "satisfactory" in its most recent evaluation by the
appropriate federal financial supervisory agency of its record of meeting the credit needs
of California's communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.
In order to be approved by the City, the dealer must be a “primary” dealer or regional
dealer that qualifies under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15C3-1 (Uniform
Net Capitol Rule). The institution must have an office in California. The dealer must be
experienced in institutional and public fund trading practices and familiar with the
HB -126-Item 6. - 9
7
California Government Code as related to investments appropriate for the City; and, other
criteria as may be established in the investment procedures. All broker/dealers and
financial institutions who desire to become qualified bidders for investment transactions
must submit a “Broker/Dealer Application” and related documents relative to eligibility
including a current audited annual financial statement, U4 form for the broker, proof of
state registration, proof of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”)
certification and a certification of having read and understood the City’s investment
policy and agreeing to comply with the policy. Capital requirements for registered
government securities brokers and dealers shall meet or exceed the requirements as set
forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15C3-1 (Uniform Net Capitol
Rule). Such companies shall also have a minimum of five years of operation.

10.1 Investment Pools/Money Market funds:
The City Treasurer or designee shall be required to investigate all local government
investment pools and money market mutual funds prior to investing and performing at
least a quarterly review thereafter while the City is invested in the pool or the money
market fund. LAIF is authorized under provisions in Section 16429.1 of the California
Government Code as an allowable investment for local agencies even though some of the
individual investments of the pool are not allowed as a direct investment by a local
agency.
11.0 Portfolio Adjustments:
California government code section 53601 states that if a percentage limitation for a
particular category of investment is specified, then that percentage is applicable only at
the date of purchase. Should any investment listed in section 10.0 exceed a percentage -
of-portfolio limitation or a percentage-by-issuer limitation due to an incident such as
fluctuation in portfolio size, the affected securities may be held to maturity to avoid
losses. When no loss is indicated, the Treasurer may consider reconstructing the
portfolio basing his/her decision on the expected length of time the portfolio will be
unbalanced. As well, the credit criteria listed herein refers to the credit rating at the time
the security is purchased. If a security held in the portfolio is downgraded by an NRSRO
to a level below the quality required by this investment policy, the City Treasurer will
review the credit and make a determination as to whether to sell or retain such security.
The City Treasurer will review the portfolio for such compliance no less than quarterly.
12.0 Collateralization:
Under provisions of the California Government Code, California banks, and other
depository institutions are required to secure the City’s deposits by pledging government
securities with a value of 110 % of principal and accrued interest. California law also
allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage
notes having a value of 150% of City’s total deposits. Collateral will always be held by
an independent third party. A clearly marked evidence of ownership (safekeeping
receipt) must be supplied to the City and retained. The market value of securities that
underlay a repurchase agreement shall be valued at 102 percent or greater of the funds
borrowed against those securities and the value shall be adjusted no less than quarterly.
HB -133-Item 6. - 16
14
Since the market value of the underlying securities is subject to daily market fluct uations,
the investments in repurchase agreements shall be in compliance if the value of the
underlying securities is brought back up to 102 percent no later than the next business
day. The City Treasurer, at his/her discretion, may waive the collateral requirement for
deposits that are fully insured (current limit is $250,000) by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. The right of collateral substitution is granted. The City Treasurer
or designee shall ensure that all demand deposits that exceed the FDIC limit (currently
$250,000) shall be fully collateralized with securities authorized under state law and this
Investment Policy.
13.0 Safekeeping and Custody:
All City investments shall have the City of Huntington Beach as its registered owner, and
all interest and principal payments and withdrawals shall indicate the City of Huntington
Beach as the payee. All securities will be held with a qualified financial institution,
contracted by the City as a third party custodian with a separate custodial agreement
(does not apply to insured Certificates of Deposit, money market funds, or the Local
Agency Investment Fund). All agreements and statements will be subject to review
annually by external auditors in conjunction with their audit. All securities shall be
acquired by the safekeeping institution on a “Delivery-Vs-Payment” (DVP) basis. For
Repurchase Agreements, the purchase may be delivered by book entry, physical delivery
or by third-party custodial agreement consistent with the Government Code. The transfer
of securities to the counterparty bank’s customer book entry account may be used for
book entry delivery. The City Treasurer or designee shall require a Broker Trade
confirmation for all trades.
14.0 Diversification:
The City’s investment portfolio will be diversified to mitigate incurring unreasonable and
avoidable risks associated with concentrating investments in specific security types,
maturity segment, or in individual financial institutions.
A. Credit risk, defined as the risk of loss due to failure of the insurer of a security, shall
be mitigated by investing in those securities with an "A" or above rating and
approved in the investment policy and by diversifying the investment portfolio so that
the failure of any one issuer would not unduly harm the City’s cash flow.
HB -134-Item 6. - 17
15
B. Market risk, defined as the risk of market value fluctuations due to overall changes
in the general level of interest rates, shall be mitigated by structuring the portfolio so
that securities mature as much as possible in conjunction with major cash outflows,
thus minimizing the need to sell securities prior to their maturity. It is explicitly
recognized herein, however, that in a diversified portfolio, occasional measured
losses are inevitable and must be considered within the context of overall investment
return. The City’s investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the
City to meet all operating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated.
15.0 Maximum Maturities:
To the extent possible, the City of Huntington Beach will attempt to match its
investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. Unless matched to a specific cash
flow, the City will not directly invest in securities maturing more than five (5) years from
the date of purchase, unless the legislative body has granted express authority to make
that investment either specifically, or as a part of an investment program approved by the
City Council. The City of Huntington Beach shall not permit more than 50% of its
investment portfolio to be invested in securities with maturities over four years.
16.0 Internal Control:
The City Treasurer and the Finance Department shall establish a system of internal
controls designed to prevent loss of public funds due to fraud, employee error,
misrepresentation by third parties, or unanticipated market changes. No investment
personnel may engage in an investment transaction except as provided for under the
terms of this policy and the procedure established by the City Treasurer. The external
auditors shall annually review the investments with respect to the investment policy.
This review will provide internal control by assuring compliance with policies and
procedures for the investments that are selected for testing. Additionally, account
reconciliation and verification of general ledger balances relating to the purchasing or
maturing of investments and allocation of interest on investments to fund balances shall
be performed by the Finance Department and approved by the City Treasurer. To
provide further protection of City funds, written procedures prohibit the wiring of any
City funds without the authorization of at least two of the four designated City officials:
HB -135-Item 6. - 18
16
1. City Treasurer
2. Treasury Manager
3. Chief Financial Officer
4. Accounting Manager
17.0 Performance Standards:
This investment policy shall be reviewed at least annually by the Investment Advisory
Board and the City Council to ensure its consistency with the overall objectives of
preservation of principal, liquidity, and return, and its relevance to current law and
financial and economic trends. The moneys entrusted to the City Treasurer will be
primarily a passively managed portfolio. However, the City Treasurer will make best
efforts to observe, review, and react to changing conditions that affect the portfolio.
17.1 Market Yield (Benchmark):
The investment portfolio shall be managed to attain a market-average rate of return
throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City’s investment risk
constraints and cash flow. Investment return becomes a consideration only after the basic
requirements of investment safety and liquidity have been met. Because the investment
portfolio is designed to operate on primarily a ‘hold-to-maturity’ premise, and because of
the safet y, liquidity, and yield priorities, the performance benchmark that will be used by
the Treasurer to determine whether market yields are being achieved shall be the 12-
month moving average of the interpolated 1.5-Year Constant Maturity Treasury (CMT)
rate. This interpolated rate shall be utilized in order to best match the average duration of
the portfolio. However, since return on investment is the least important objective of the
investment portfolio, the benchmark will be used only as a reference tool. The reporting
of a benchmark does not imply that the City Treasurer will add additional risk to the
investment portfolio in order to attain or exceed the benchmark. The prohibition of
highly speculative investments precludes pursuit of gain or profit through unusual risk
and precludes investments primarily directed at gains or profits from conjectural
fluctuations in market prices. The City Treasurer will not directly pursue any
investments that are leveraged or deemed derivative in nature. However, as long as the
original investments can be justified by their ordinary earning power, trading in response
to changes in market value can be used as part of ongoing portfolio management.
HB -136-Item 6. - 19

18.0 Reporting:
The City Treasurer shall submit a quarterly report to the City Council, City Manager,

its current market price. This may be the amortized yield to maturity; on a bond, the
current income return.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (RP OR REPO): A holder of securities sells these

including margin loans and commitments to purchase securities, one reason new public
issues are spread among members of underwriting syndicates. Liquid capital includes
cash and assets easily converted into cash.

Meeting Date: 2/5/2018
Statement of Issue:
There is a need to approve a Memorandum of Understanding with Project Self-Sufficiency to
formalize their relationship with the City of Huntington Beach.
Financial Impact:
Not applicable.
Recommended Action:
Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a “Memorandum of Understanding
Between the City of Huntington Beach and Project Self-Sufficiency.”
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the recommended action and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The City of Huntington Beach (City) began operating the Project Self-Sufficiency program in
1985 through a U. S. Housing and Urban Development Grant. The City worked with
community volunteers to form the Project Self-Sufficiency Foundation, a 501c3, and in
1994 began a Public/Private partnership.
The City has requested that the Project Self-Sufficiency Foundation (recently renamed
Project Self-Sufficiency) operate the Project Self-Sufficiency program independently as a
501c3 and separate from the City and from City General Fund support.
The City and Project Self-Sufficiency (PS-S) want to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) to support PS-S and to clarify the respective obligations of each.
Key points in the MOU include:
Obligations of CITY:
• Generate pro-rated checks to PS-S for any unspent 2017 Surf City 10 funds, and any unspent
HOAG Memorial Hospital Presbyterian (HOAG) funds obtained for PS-S salaries for 2018 (FY
2017/18) and 2019 (FY 2018/19), as agreed upon in the HOAG MOU.

Statement of Issue:
A national recruitment has been conducted for the position of Director of Community Services. The
City Manager is recommending the appointment of Marie Knight to the position based on the
outcome of the recruitment process.
Financial Impact:
Funding for this position is included in the FY 2017/18 budget.
Recommended Action:
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the “Employment Agreement between the City
of Huntington Beach and Marie Knight” for the position of Director of Community Services.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the Employment Agreement of Marie Knight for the position of Director of
Community Services and direct the City Manager to re-launch a national recruitment.
Analysis:
The position of Director of Community Services has been vacant since December 2017, due to the
retirement of the former incumbent, Janeen Laudenback. Her retirement created the need to fill the
department head vacancy.
The City Manager authorized the Human Resources Department to launch the recruitment for the
Director of Community Services in October 2017. The City received more than 170 applications for
the position. Seven (7) candidates were invited to interview. The recruitment panels consisted of a
panel of three City Department Heads, and a separate panel of three external department heads.
The panels included leaders in the positions of City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Fire Chief,
Library Services Director, and Public Works Director. Marie Knight was one of four (4) finalist
candidates. The City Manager conducted follow-up interviews with each finalist and Marie Knight
was selected.
Marie Knight has more than three decades of experience in the area of Parks, Recreation and
Community, and Senior Services. Most recently, Marie served as the Director of Parks, Recreation
and Marine for the City of Long Beach. From 2006 through 2016, Marie served as the Director of

C. Following official separation from the City, the employee is granted a retirement allowance

The City's obligation to pay the monthly premium as indicated shall be modified downward

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,

or Sunday, or on a City holiday, then the jury duty shall be considered the same as having
occurred during the employees day off work, therefore, the employee will receive no added
compensation.

EXHIBIT 4- VOLUNTARY CATASTROPHIC LEAVE DONATION
Guidelines
1. Purpose
The purpose of the voluntary catastrophic leave donation program is to bridge employees
who have been approved leave time to either return to work, long-term disability, or medical
retirement. Permanent employees who accrue vacation, general leave or compensatory
time may donate such leave to another permanent employee when a catastrophic illness or
injury befalls that employee or because the employee is needed to care for a seriously ill
family member. The leave-sharing Leave Donation Program is Citywide across all
departments and is intended to provide an additional benefit. Nothing in this program is
intended to change current policy and practice for use and/or accrual of vacation, general,
or sick leave.
2. Definitions
Catastrophic Illness or Injury - A serious debilitating illness or injury, which incapacitates the
employee or an employee's family member.
Family Member - For the purposes of this policy, the definition of family member is that
defined in the Family Medical Leave Act (child, parent, spouse or domestic partner).
3. Eligible Leave
Accrued compensatory, vacation or general leave hours may be donated. The minimum
donation an employee may make is two (2) hours and the maximum is forty (40) hours.
4. Eligibility
Permanent employees who accrue vacation or general leave may donate such hours to
eligible recipients. Compensatory time accrued may also be donated. An eligible recipient
is an employee who:
• Accrues vacation or general leave;
• Is not receiving disability benefits or Workers' Compensation payments; and
• Requests donated leave.
5. Transfer of Leave
The maximum donation credited to a recipient's leave account shall be the amount
necessary to ensure continuation of the employee's regular salary during the employee's
period of approved catastrophic leave. Donations will be voluntary, confidential and
irrevocable. Hours donated will be converted into a dollar amount based on the hourly
wage of the donor. The dollar amount will then be converted into accrued hours based on
the recipient's hourly wage.
An employee needing leave will complete a Leave Donation Request Form and submit it to
the Department Director for approval. The Department Director will forward the form to
Human Resources for processing. Human Resources, working with the department, will
send out the request for leave donations.

Meeting Date: 1/16/2018
Statement of Issue:
The contract between the City of Huntington Beach and the County of Orange (OC Animal
Care) requires that each city adopt municipal animal control codes that are identical to
County animal control ordinances. This Council action will amend Section 7.04.010 and
repeal section 7.04.020 and Chapter 7.08 of the City’s Municipal Code pertaining to animal
control.
Financial Impact:
There is no fiscal impact.
Recommended Action:
Approve for introduction Ordinance No. 4147, “An Ordinance of the City of Huntington Beach
Amending Section 7.04.010 and Repealing Section 7.04.020 and Chapter 7.08 of the Huntington
Beach Municipal Code Relating to the Adoption of County Animal Control Ordinances.”
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the introduction of the ordinance and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The City currently contracts with Orange County Animal Care for animal control services.
As part of the contract, the City is required to adopt municipal animal control codes that are
identical to County animal control ordinances. This enables the County the ability to
provide consistent animal control enforcement throughout the entire service area. In turn,
this also provides more effective enforcement.
OC Animal Care will only enforce those municipal codes that are identical to County animal
control ordinances, in addition to certain state codes relating to animal care and control.
Each city is responsible for enforcing any unique animal control provisions its municipal
code may contain. For the City of Huntington Beach, Chapter 7.14 Performance of Wild or
Exotic Animals for Public Entertainment or Amusement is the only section of the Code that
is unique and is enforced by the City of Huntington Beach and not OC Animal Care.

Dept. ID Ad-18-003 Page 2 of 2
Meeting Date: 1/16/2018
In early November, the County reached out to all contract cities requesting cities to amend
their Municipal Codes to reflect recent changes in the County Code. The amendments
made by the County were made to improve efficiencies and outcomes, and were supported
by their partners in the animal rights community.
The amendments improve the Vicious Dog Program by providing for the use of
independent hearing officers; adding the ability to ban owners of the vicious dogs from
owning dogs for up to three years; clarifying provocation and other terms for identifying
aggressive dogs; and removing Potentially Dangerous Dog designations following a
specified time period of non-incidence. This program was also brought into accord with
recent state law changes eliminating automatic designation for animals seized from
convicted violators of fighting dog statutes. The Barking Dog program has also been
expanded to include nuisances from animals other than dogs.
Additionally, amendments to other County ordinances clarify language relating to animal
permits, kennel permits, and mobile grooming licenses. These changes provide clearer
direction to citizens as to the applicability of the permits, particularly with respect to animal
rescues, and provide clearer cost recovery for OC Animal Care.
This Council action introduces an ordinance that will codify the changes made by the
Orange County Board of Supervisors to ensure uniformity with the City’s Municipal Code
and the County’s animal control codes.

Meeting Date: 2/5/2018
Statement of Issue: The Urban Water Management Planning Act of 1983 requires that the City
adopt an Urban Water Management Plan every five years. The UWMP was adopted by City
Council in 2016, and submitted to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) for their
approval. Subsequently, minor revisions were required by DWR resulting in Amendments that
need to be adopted by City Council.
Financial Impact: Not applicable.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution 2018-03, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Adopting the Amendments to the Adopted 2015 Urban W ater Management Plan Pursuant to AB797
and SB1011.”
Alternative Action(s): Do not adopt the Amendments in part or as a whole and instruct Staff on
how to proceed.
Analysis: The Urban Water Management Planning Act of 1983 mandates all water suppliers with
more than 3,000 customers or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually must prepare
and adopt an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) every five years. Huntington Beach
currently supplies water to approximately 200,000 residents, over 53,000 metered connections, and
around 25,000 acre-feet of water annually.
The adopted UWMP focuses on water supply and demand management for the City. It
incorporates and references the 2015 UWMP of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California (MWD) and the Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC). MWD is the major
supplemental water supplier to Southern California providing water from the Colorado River and
State Water Project. MWDOC is a member agency of MWD and serves as the City’s wholesaler of
MWD water.
Demographic and water use projections are presented in five-year increments out to 2040. In
general, the plan focuses on projected water supply versus demand and is intended to act as a
long-term planning tool for the City’s water use efficiency efforts. The plan also examines the
potential effect on water supplies during single and multiple dry-year scenarios. Because of
Huntington Beach’s groundwater and imported connection capacities, it is estimated that 100% of
demand can be met under all hydrological scenarios.

Basin Characteristics
The OC Basin underlies the northerly half of Orange County beneath broad lowlands. The OC Basin is
not an adjudicated basin and is managed by OCWD. It covers an area of approximately 350 square
miles, bordered by the Coyote and Chino Hills to the north, the Santa Ana Mountains to the northeast,
and the Pacific Ocean to the southwest. The OC Basin boundary extends to the Orange County-Los
Angeles Line to the northwest, where groundwater flows across the county line into the Central
Groundwater Basin of Los Angeles County. The total thickness of sedimentary rocks in the OC Basin is
over 20,000 feet, with only the upper 2,000 to 4,000 feet containing fresh water. The Pleistocene or
younger aquifers comprising this Basin are over 2,000 feet deep and form a complex series of
interconnected sand and gravel deposits. The OC Basin’s full volume is approximately 66 MAF.
Groundwater Recharge Facilities
Recharging water into the OC Basin through natural and artificial means is essential to support pumping
from the OC Basin. Active recharge of groundwater began in 1949, in response to increasing drawdown
of the OC Basin and consequently the threat of seawater intrusion. The OC Basin’s primary source of
recharge is flow from the Santa Ana River, which is diverted into recharge basins and its main Orange
County tributary, Santiago Creek. Other sources of recharge water include natural infiltration and recycled
water. Today OCWD owns and operates a network of recharge facilities that cover 1,067 acres. An
increase in recharge capacity of greater than 10,000 AFY occurred with the addition of the La Jolla
Recharge Basin which came online in 2008. The La Jolla Recharge Basin is a 6-acre recharge basin.
One of OCWD’s primary efforts has been the control of seawater intrusion into the OC Basin, especially
via the Talbert and Alamitos seawater intrusion barriers. The Talbert and Alamitos seawater intrusion
barriers are shown on Figure 3-3. Some of the injection wells from the Talbert intrusion barrier are located
within the City’s service area, however, the Alamitos barrier is outside of the City’s service area.
City of Huntington Beach
As defined in Chapter 14.18 of the City’s Municipal Water Code, a water shortage is declared based on
one or more of the following conditions:
• A general water supply shortage due to increased demand or limited supplies
• A major failure of the supply, storage, and distribution facilities of Metropolitan or of the City
• A local or regional disaster, which limits the water supply
The City’s Water Management Program is defined in Chapter 14.18 of the Huntington Beach Municipal
Code. This program establishes a staged water conservation program that will encourage reduced water
consumption within the City through conservation, enable effective water supply planning, assure
reasonable and beneficial use of water, prevent waste of water, and maximize the efficient use of water
within the City. Along with permanent water conservation requirements, the City’s Water Conservation
Program consists of three stages to respond to a reduction in potable water available to the City for
distribution to its customers. For the first two stages, the City Council determines, in its sole discretion,
that due to drought or other water supply conditions, a water supply shortage or threatened shortage
exists and a consumer demand reduction is necessary to make more efficient use of water and
appropriately respond to existing water conditions. The third stage is declared by the City Council as a
water shortage emergency and residents and businesses are notified that a significant reduction in
consumer demand is necessary to maintain sufficient water suppliers for public health and safety. A
HB -228-Item 10. - 7
summary of the stages of water shortage is displayed in Table 5-1 (Huntington Beach, Chapter 14.18
Municipal Code).
Conditions prevailing in the City area require that available water resources be put to maximum beneficial
use to the extent possible. The waste, unreasonable use, or unreasonable method of use of water should
be prevented and water conservation and water use efficiency should be encouraged with a view toward
maximizing reasonable and beneficial use in the interests of the people of the City and for the public
welfare. Preservation of health and safety is a top priority for the City.

6.2 Wastewater Description and Disposal
The City operates and maintains the local sewer collection pipes that feed into the OCSD's trunk sewer
system to convey wastewater to OCSD's Plant No. 2. OCSD is responsible for the treatment and disposal
of all the City’s wastewater. The City's sewer system includes 360 miles of sewer lines ranging from 6
inches to 30 inches in diameter, 10,000 manholes and 27 lift stations. OCSD has an extensive system of
gravity flow sewers, pump stations, and pressurized sewers. OCSD Plant No. 2 has a capacity of 312
MGD with a 120-inch diameter ocean outfall that extends 4 miles off the coast of the City. There is also a
78-inch diameter emergency outfall that extends 1.3 miles off the coast.
HB -230-Item 10. - 9
Residential homes northwest of Sunset Beach, in the area known as Surfside, have sewer flow that goes
to the Sunset Beach Sanitary District, which eventually connects into the City’s sewer collection system.
The Sunset Aquatic Marina also sends its sewer flow to the City’s sewer collection system. Lastly, a
property at the northeast corner of Beach Boulevard and Edinger Avenue is within the City of
Westminster, but their sewage also goes to the City.
Table 6-1 summarizes the wastewater collected by the City and transported to OCSD's Plant No. 2 in
2015.

NOTES: Talbert Barrier - In 2015, a total volume of approximately 36,275 AF from Orange County Water District's Groundwater Replenishment System
(GWRS) is used for the Talbert Barrier injection to prevent seawater intrusion (OCWD 2015 Groundwater Management Plan). We assumed 22 percent of the
injected water is through injection wells located within the City of Huntington Beach boundary (8 of 36 injections wells lie within Huntington Beach). In 2025
GWRS Phase III expansion is projected to add 33,600 AFY (OCWD 2015 Groundwater Management Plan). Since 35 percent of GWRS water is currently used
for seawater intrusion, the same percentage is assumed for Phase III. Talbert Barrier represents 39 percent of all seawater intrusion barrier water (OCWD
2015 Groundwater Management Plan).
Assumes amount used in 2020 equals 2015 (prior to Phase III expansion in 2025). Assumes amount used in 2025 will equal 2030, 2035, and 2040 per Phase III
expansion.
