REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Marie Knight, Director of Community Services
Subject:
Approve the placement of a memorial plaque recognition for Father Christian Mondor and
Pastor Blaine “Sumo” Sato on Tower Zero on the Municipal Pier
Statement of Issue:
At the direction of City Council, the Community Services Commission was to develop a proposal for a
public memorial honoring Father Christian Mondor and Pastor Blaine “Sumo” Sato. The Commission
has made its recommendation to place a memorial plaque on Tower Zero on the Municipal Pier in
honor of both men. The location now needs final approval by the City Council.
Financial Impact:
Purchase and installation of the plaque will be funded by the Greater Huntington Beach Interfaith
Council.
Recommended Action:
Approve the placement of a memorial plaque recognizing Father Christian Mondor and Pastor Blaine
“Sumo” Sato as recommended by the Community Services Commission, on Tower Zero on the
Huntington Beach Municipal Pier.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve placement of a memorial plaque honoring Father Christian Mondor and Pastor Blaine
“Sumo” Sato on Tower Zero on the Huntington Beach Municipal Pier and direct staff on how to
proceed.
Analysis:
Father Christian Mondor and Pastor Blaine “Sumo” Sato were prominent members of the City and the
surfing community. Due to the recent passing of these two prominent residents, Council Member
Patrick Brenden submitted a request for City Council to honor each for their contributions to the City.
The request was approved by City Council on July 16, 2018, which directed the Community Services

File #:18-343 MEETING DATE:9/17/2018
Commission to work with the surfing community and followers of Father Mondor and Pastor Sato on
a public memorial to honor both (Attachment 1). The Greater Huntington Beach Interfaith Council
came in support of a memorial honoring Father Mondor and Pastor Sato and have committed to fund
the purchase and installation of the plaque.
Father Mondor was a vicar emeritus with Saints Simon and Jude Church, where in 1990 he was
named parochial vicar. His active involvement in the community included a term as President of the
Greater Huntington Beach Interfaith Council and serving as a member of the Board of Trustees for
the Huntington Beach Council on Aging. As President of the Interfaith Council, he was instrumental
in the first citywide interfaith Procession of Lights service. Father Mondor was also instrumental in
coordinating the annual “Blessing of the Waves,” which attracts surfers and others from all faiths to a
service of thanksgiving for the ocean and natural resources. In 2012, he was honored as Grand
Marshall of the annual Fourth of July Parade, and in 2013 Father Mondor was named a lifetime
member of the H.B. Longboard Crew and inducted into the Surfing Walk of Fame. Father Mondor,
also known as the “Surfing Padre,” passed on April 25, 2018, three days shy of his 93rd birthday.
Pastor Blaine “Sumo” Sato, was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, and became a resident of Huntington
Beach in 1990. Known simply as “Sumo,” Pastor Sato was a waterman, chef, and family man. He
spent several years traveling between Hawaii and California, sharing his commitment to his faith by
helping to form churches, offering encouragement to at-risk youth, and assisting the homeless. While
settling in Huntington Beach, he quickly became a staple of the surfing community and became
known for his positive spirit. In 2011, he helped form the H2O Community Church in the City and also
served as the Chaplain for the City’s Marine Safety Division. Over the years, Pastor Sumo
participated in the annual Blessing of the Waves and offered opening prayers for countless surfing
events. In 2016, Pastor Sumo was inducted into the Surfers’ Hall of Fame, having his name,
handprints and footprints pressed in cement in front of Huntington Beach Surf n’ Sport. Pastor Sumo
passed on March 11, 2018, at the age of 55 after a battle with cancer.
Prior to the August 8, 2018, Community Services Commission meeting, staff reached out to the
Huntington Beach Interfaith Council and various organizations representing the surfing community to
obtain input on this request. At the August 8, 2018, meeting, the Community Services Commission
reviewed the background of Father Mondor and Pastor Sato and listened to public comments from
Surfing Hall of Fame and Surfing Walk of Fame members in support of recognizing the two
individuals. Members of the Surfing Museum also issued written support of the concept. Given the
background of the two men and their contributions to the surfing community and lifestyle in
Huntington Beach, the Commission felt that, per Council Member Brenden’s suggestion, Tower Zero
was an appropriate location to place a memorial plaque.
The concept, reviewed by Commission, was for a single plaque with images of both men to be placed
on Tower Zero (Attachment 2). Currently, there are two bronze plaques located on Tower Zero - a
recognition plaque for former Lifeguard Chief and Community Services Director, Max Bowman, and a
plaque recognizing the dedication and project team for Tower Zero. The Commission’s
recommendation is to place the plaque for Father Mondor and Pastor Sato next to the Max Bowman
Plaque (Attachment 3). The Commission further recommended that the project dedication plaque be
relocated to the wall just to the right of the Tower Zero entrance (Attachment 4).

File #:18-343 MEETING DATE:9/17/2018
The Interfaith Council is currently reviewing quotes for purchase and installation of the plaque should
Council approve of the concept. The intent is to install a plaque consistent in size with the existing
project dedication plaque (24” x 20”). Materials being considered include cast bronze, cast aluminum
or granite. Final design and materials for the plaque will be determined based upon funding, but the
intent is to be consistent with the look and style of the existing plaques. At this time, Council is being
asked to approve the Community Services Commission’s recommendation on the placement of the
plaque.

Sub'ect:
Item Submitted by Council Member Brenden - Recognition for Father Christian Mondor and
Pastor Sumo Sato
Statement of Issue:
With the recent passing of Father Christian Mondor and Pastor Blaine "Sumo" Sato, known to many
as the surfing Padre and the surfing Pastor, Huntington Beach lost two of its most highly respected
religious leaders. Each of these beloved watermen revered the ocean, and in the surf, found divine
inspiration. Both men spent many years in Huntington Beach providing spiritual leadership, bringing
the community together through their healing and hopeful words, inspiring all of us to simply love
and respect one another.
In recognition of their contributions to our community, I propose that a public memorial be
established to honor Father Christian and Pastor Sumo. Further, I believe that it would be most
appropriate to engage the local surfing community as well as the followers of these men, in deciding
where and how best to honor them. Among the possibilities that should be considered is a bronze
plaque to be installed on Tower Zero on the pier.
Recommended Action:
Direct the Community Services Commission to work with the surfing community and the followers of
Father Christian and Pastor Sumo to develop a proposal for a public memorial honoring these two
men. Return to City Council within 90 days to present the proposal.

2018.
Please ensure this supplemental communication is forwarded to the Mayor of Huntington Beach,
the members of the Huntington Beach City Council, the City Manager of Huntington Beach, and
the City Clerk of Huntington Beach. Please also ensure that this supplemental communication is
considered part of the public record for the Huntington Beach City Council's Meeting on July 16,

The Honorable
Michael Posey
Mayor of Huntington Beach
2000 Main Street
Huntington Beach CA 92648
Dear Mister Mayor:
I am writing to express my present opposition to Item 31, Councilman Patrick Brenden's motion
to instruct the Huntington Beach Community Services Commission to consider creating a
public memorial in memory of Father Christian Mondor and Reverend Sumo Sato.
Father Mondor was a Pastor Emeritus at Saints Simon and Jude Catholic Church, 20444
Magnolia Street, Huntington Beach, California. Reverend Sato was the Pastor at the H20
Community Church, 411 Olive Avenue.
I greatly respected Father Mondor. In fact, I attended Father Mondor's Funeral at Saints Simon
and Jude Catholic Church, 20444 Magnolia Street, Huntington Beach, California.
I also greatly respected Reverend Sato. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend Reverend Sato's
Funeral, as I had to attend a meeting with an individual I was considering hiring as my Private
Secretary. This Meeting had already been scheduled by the time Reverend Sato's Obituary was
published in the Huntington Beach Wave. However, I did give a donation in memory of
Reverend Sato to the Cornerstone Church, 4905 East La Palma Avenue, Anaheim, California.
However, I do not believe a joint memorial is an appropriate way to honor Father Mondor and
Reverend Sato. While they both were clergymen, associated with the surfing community, and
were great men, those similarities do not erase the fact that they are 2 different men.
In 1956, President Dwight David Eisenhower I appointed Judge William Joseph Brennan Jr. to
succeed Justice Sherman Minton as a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. In 1967,
President Lyndon Johnson appointed Judge Thurgood Marshall Sr. to the Supreme Court of the
United States to succeed Justice Thomas Campbell Clark I. Justices Brennan and Marshall had
quite similar views, and by the time of Justice Brennan's retirement in 1990, Justices Brennan
and Marshall were frequently the only two justices who expressed these views in dissenting
opinions. Due to their similar viewpoints, Justices Brennan and Marshall would sometimes be
jokingly referred to by their law clerks as "Justice Brennan-Marshall", as if they were 1 man
with a double-barrelled surname.
Page 49
Mr. Amory Hanson
8102 Ellis Avenue
Apartment 121
Huntington Beach CA 92646
Yet when the time came for Justices Brennan and Marshall to be recognized, two different
memorials were created for Justices Brennan and Marshall. The Hudson County Courthouse, 595
Newark Avenue, Jersey City, New Jersey, was named after Justice Brennan. The Baltimore
International Airport, 7035 Elm Road, Linthicum, Maryland, was named after Justice Marshall.
Similarly, I believe Father Mondor and Reverend Sato should be honored with seperate
memorials. They may have many similarities, but they were both great men, and the should both
be honored in great ways.
I would also note that Saints Simon and Jude Catholic Church is creating a Plaza that will be
named after Father Mondor.
Senator Barbara Boxer, a Former Senator from California who served 4 terms in the United
States Senate, once said "We are all different. Yet we are all God's Children." Father Mondor
and Reverend Sato were certainly sons of God, and they should both be recognized for their
accomplishments with 2 different, but great, memorials.
I thank the Mayor and the members of the Huntington Beach City Council for listening to my
concerns. In Summary, I recommend a No Vote on Item 31, but strongly encourage Councilman
Brenden to bring forward 2 seperate items at a later meeting of The Huntington Beach City
Council. The first item should be a motion to instruct the Huntington Beach Community
Services Commission to consider creating a public memorial in memory of Father Mondor. The
other item should be a motion to instruct the Huntington Beach Community Services
Commission to consider creating a public memorial in memory of Reverend Sato.
Sincerely Yours,
Mr. Amory Hanson

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Gilbert Garcia, Chief Financial Officer
Subject:
Approve the escheatment of Unclaimed Funds Per Government Code Sections 50050-50057
Statement of Issue:
The City is currently holding $4,538.24 in unclaimed funds. Per Government Code Sections 50050-
50057, unclaimed funds less than $15.00 which remain unclaimed for over one year become the
property of the City. In addition, unclaimed funds that are over $15.00 that are not the property of the
City that remain unclaimed for over three years and have not been claimed after publication of a
notice, become the property of the City.
Financial Impact:
This action will result in the deposit of $4,538.24 into the City’s General Fund. The FY 2018/19
Adopted Budget for the General Fund assumes the City will receive a total of $150,000.00 in
miscellaneous revenue. The escheated funds of $4,538.24 in addition to other miscellaneous
revenue sources will assist the General Fund in reaching the budgeted estimate.
Recommended Action:
Review and approve the transfer of $4,538.24 of unclaimed funds from the City’s Unclaimed Funds
Liability Account to the City’s Miscellaneous Revenue Account #10000100.48550.10035209 in
compliance with the Government Code Sections 50050-50057.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the recommendation and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The City has developed a procedure based on Government Code Sections 50050-50057
(Attachment 1) for the escheatment of funds. Under the procedure (Attachment 2), a list is prepared
by the Finance Department of unclaimed funds less than $15.00 which have remained unclaimed for
over one year as of June 30, 2018. Pursuant to Government Code Sections 50050-50057, the Chief
Financial Officer published a notice with all unclaimed funds over three years old and greater than

GOVERNMENT CODE – TITLE 5. LOCAL AGENCIES [50001 – 57550]
50050.
For purposes of this article, “local agency” includes all districts. Except as otherwise
provided by law, money, excluding restitution to victims, that is not the property of
a local agency that remains unclaimed in its treasury or in the official custody of its
officers for three years is the property of the local agency after notice if not claimed
or if no verified complaint is filed and served. At any time after the expiration of the
three-year period, the treasurer of the local agency may cause a notice to be
published once a week for two successive weeks in a newspaper of general
circulation published in the local agency. At the expiration of the three-year period,
money representing restitution collected on behalf of victims shall be deposited into
the Restitution Fund or used by the local agency for purposes of victim services. If
a local agency elects to use the money for purposes of victim services, the local
agency shall first document that it has made a reasonable effort to locate and notify
the victim to whom the restitution is owed. The local agency may utilize fees
collected pursuant to subdivision (l) of Section 1203.1 or subdivision (f) of Section
2085.5 of the Penal Code to offset the reasonable cost of locating and notifying the
victim to whom restitution is owed. With respect to moneys deposited with the
county treasurer pursuant to Section 7663 of the Probate Code, this three-year
period to claim money held by a local agency is extended for an infant or person of
unsound mind until one year from the date his or her disability ceases.
For purposes of this section, “infant” and “person of unsound mind” have the same
meaning as given to those terms as used in Section 1441 of the Code of Civil
Procedure.
50051.
The notice shall state the amount of money, the fund in which it is held, and that it
is proposed that the money will become the property of the local agency on a
designated date not less than forty-five days nor more than sixty days after the
first publication of the notice.
50052.
Upon or prior to publication, a party of interest may file a claim with the treasurer
which must include the claimant’s name, address, amount of claim, the grounds on
which the claim is founded, and any other information that may be required by the
treasurer. The claim shall be filed before the date the unclaimed money becomes
the property of the local agency as provided under Section 50051 and the treasurer
shall accept or reject that claim. If the claim is rejected by the treasurer, the party
who submitted the claim may file a verified complaint seeking to recover all, or a
designated part, of the money in a court of competent jurisdiction within the county
in which the notice is published, and serves a copy of the complaint and the
summons issued thereon upon the treasurer. The copy of the complaint and
summons shall be served within 30 days of receiving notice that the claim was
rejected. The treasurer shall withhold the release of the portion of unclaimed
money for which a court action has been filed as provided in this section until a
decision is rendered by the court.
ATTACHMENT 1Page 60
50052.5.
(a) Notwithstanding Section 50052, the treasurer may release to the depositor of
the unclaimed money, their heir, beneficiary, or duly appointed representative,
unclaimed money if claimed prior to the date the money becomes the property of
the local agency upon submitting proof satisfactory to the treasurer, unless the
unclaimed money is deposited pursuant to Section 7663 of the Probate Code.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 50052, the treasurer may release unclaimed money
deposited with the county treasurer pursuant to Section 7663 of the Probate Code,
to any adult blood relative of either the decedent or the decedent’s predeceased
spouse.
(c) Notwithstanding Section 50052, the treasurer may release unclaimed money
deposited with the county treasurer pursuant to Section 7663 of the Probate Code
to the parent who has legal and physical custody of a minor who is a blood relative
of either the decedent or the decedent’s predeceased spouse without the need to
appoint a legal guardian for the minor as follows:
(1) If the value of the unclaimed money deposited with the county treasurer is five
thousand dollars ($5,000) or less, the treasurer may release the money according
to Section 3401 of the Probate Code.
(2) If the value of the unclaimed money deposited with the county treasurer is sixty
thousand dollars ($60,000) or less, and the money is not released under paragraph
(1), the unclaimed money may be released by the treasurer to the parent who
shall, after payment of any costs incurred in making the claim, hold the money in
trust, to be used only for the care, maintenance, and education of the minor, and
the parent shall be liable therefor to the minor under the fiduciary laws of this
state. The money held in trust shall be released to the minor when the minor
reaches the age of majority.
(d) The claim shall be presented to the county treasurer in affidavit form and
signed under penalty of perjury. Notwithstanding Section 13101 of the Probate
Code, the claimant, to be entitled to the entire escheated estate, needs only to
establish with documentary proof the existence of a blood relationship to either the
decedent or of the predeceased spouse, if any, and the documentary proof, if
regular on its face, need not be certified. Notwithstanding Section 13101 of the
Probate Code, the claimant shall not be required to declare that no other person
has an equal or superior claim to the escheated estate.
The county treasurer may rely in good faith on the sworn statements made in the
claim and shall have no duty to inquire into the truth or credibility of evidence
submitted.
In paying out the escheated estate, the county treasurer shall be held harmless to
all. Payment shall act as total acquittance and shall completely discharge the
county treasurer from any liability.
If the county treasurer rejects any claim made hereunder, the claimant may take
his or her grievance to the Superior Court of the county holding the escheated
estate.
Any claim paid hereunder shall be paid without interest.

50053.
When any such money becomes the property of a local agency and is in a special
fund, the legislative body may transfer it to the general fund.
50054.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Gilbert Garcia, Chief Financial Officer
David A. Segura, Fire Chief
Subject:
Approve the purchase of a replacement fire engine with South Coast Fire Equipment, Inc. and
an ambulance; and, authorize the City Manager to enter into all documents and to complete
any financial transactions necessary to lease finance the purchase of the fire engine and
ambulance
Statement of Issue:
City Council approval is requested to approve the purchase of a replacement fire engine with South
Coast Fire Equipment, Inc. and an ambulance with Braun Northwest, Inc., and to authorize the City
Manager to enter into any and all documents and to complete any financial transactions necessary to
finance the purchase of both the fire engine and ambulance in order to enhance public safety and
emergency response.
Financial Impact:
Funding for the replacement of both a fire engine and ambulance is included in the Equipment
Replacement budget in the FY 2018/19 budget. The Adopted Budget includes $250,000 for the
estimated annual debt service payments for a potential lease financing arrangement to acquire both
the fire engine and ambulance. This funding level was based on interest rates at the time the FY
2018/19 budget was being developed. Interest rates fluctuate on a daily basis and final lease
financing rates and costs will be determined prior to the close of escrow. Staff recommends the
lease purchase of the fire engine and ambulance and all related equipment totaling $1,030,000
through a seven-year lease purchase agreement. Based on current interest rates, the estimated
annual debt service payment is $167,100.
Section 6 of City Budget Resolution 2018-34 requires that the acquisition of any capital items which
exceed $500,000 be approved by the City Council. The value of the proposed replacement fire
engine of $773,000 exceeds this amount; hence, it requires City Council approval. The replacement
fire engine will be obtained from Pierce Manufacturing, Inc. through South Coast Fire Equipment, the
authorized dealer for Pierce Manufacturing, Inc. for this region of the country. The ambulance
purchase of $224,000 is included in this action as Staff is recommending that both pieces of
equipment be financed.

Recommended Action:
Approve the purchase of the replacement fire engine with South Coast Fire Equipment, Inc. and an
ambulance; and,authorize the City Manager to enter into all documents and transactions necessary
to lease finance the purchase of the fire engine and ambulance.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the recommendation and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The proposed fire engine purchase will replace a 22-year old fire engine with over 106,000 road
miles. In addition, the standard industry conversion calculation for fire engines, as provided in Fire
Mechanic best practices training, is 26 miles for each hour of operation. According to the hours to
miles factor for fire engines, the 6,100 vehicle hours on this apparatus equates to an even greater
impact on the apparatus of approximately 160,000 miles of driving.
This apparatus requires frequent repairs and is increasingly difficult to maintain and keep in service.
Its reliability is critical because of its use in providing emergency responses, including: fire
suppression, hazardous materials, rescue, and medical responses.
At this time, all of the City’s front line fire engines are Pierce models. These engines are of the
highest quality and maintaining consistency in the type of apparatus used provides interoperability
and enables the highest level of emergency service delivery. The pricing for the engine is
competitive, with bids having been obtained through an intergovernmental agency transaction with
the City of Los Angeles in accordance with Municipal Code Section 3.02.190.
The following are best practices and additional information regarding the justification for replacement
of the fire engine:
Industry Standards for Fire Engine Replacement
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) provides best practice recommendations for the fire
service and recommends that the following factors be considered when replacing fire engines:
"The length of life depends on many factors, including vehicle mileage and engine hours, quality of
the preventative maintenance program, quality of the driver training program, whether the fire
apparatus was used within the design parameters, whether the apparatus was manufactured on a
custom or commercial chassis, quality of workmanship by the original manufacturer, quality of the
components used, and availability of replacement parts, to name a few." (NFPA Standard 1911-96 -
Annex D, page 1)
According to the most current data available for state and locally owned fleets from the Federal
Highway Administration, the average replacement age for fire apparatus is 15.8 years. A similar
replacement standard has historically been adhered to by the City of Huntington Beach, based on the
previously referenced NFPA factors and industry practices. The wear and tear on the vehicle, which
naturally and inevitably occurs over time, reduces apparatus reliability, efficiency and performance.
The City of Huntington Beach’s practice for fire engine replacement includes moving engines from
front line to reserve status after 15 years and removing them from the fleet after five years in reserve,
for a total of 20 years of service. This practice is consistent with the majority of fire departments in
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/12/2018Page 2 of 4
powered by Legistar™Page 78
File #:18-245 MEETING DATE:9/17/2018
for a total of 20 years of service. This practice is consistent with the majority of fire departments in
the county. When its original date of service is considered, Fire Engine 8211 has been in service for
22 years and is past due for replacement.
Fire Engine Age and Technology
Fire Engine Age: Fire Engine 8211 was purchased in 1996 and rebuilt in 2001 due to pump
cavitation problems. It has the original drive train with equivalent to 160,000 miles. The vehicle
housing, pump and other equipment were replaced in 2001. The original motor that operates the
apparatus was not replaced and is still the original, which was acquired with this fire engine in 1996,
22 years ago.
Improved Apparatus Technology: Due to the evolution of software, parts and electronic
technology, emergency response apparatus now become obsolete much sooner than in the past. In
order to provide maximum operating efficiency and increase public safety service delivery, it is
important to replace older vehicles, such as Fire Engine 8211.
Apparatus Maintenance Record
The maintenance record from 2013 to 2018 includes rebuilding the engine transmission; replacement
of tires, gauges, meters, lights, antenna, bumper, sirens, etc.; repair to leaks in water tanks, the
engine, packing, valves, etc. In addition, the cost to operate this engine is estimated at $6.05 per
mile, compared to a new engine which operates at $3.80, a cost savings of $2.25 per mile.
Over the past four years, this engine has been out of service a total of 180 days, including 56 days in
2017. This can also impact the timely preventative maintenance of front line emergency response
apparatus.
It is important to note that if approved, a new fire engine will take approximately 15 months to be
built, delivered, and put into service. Therefore, over the next year Fire Engine 8211 will add further
miles and hours to its operational life. Once a new fire engine is put into service,it will push the
oldest frontline fire engine into reserve status (that is, a reserve fire engine that covers for when
frontline fire engines are out of service or non-operational). Fire Engine 8211 will then be surplused
through the City’s fiscal services process. This replacement scenario is keeping with the City’s Fleet
Management practices.
Ultimately, older apparatus are less dependable and the reliability of this fire engine is critical to
public and fire personnel safety.
The following are best practices and additional information regarding the justification for replacement
of the ambulance:
Ambulance Replacement Standards
The Huntington Beach Fire Department annually provides over 20,000 emergency responses,
including over 10,000 emergency medical transports in City ambulances. Due to the large number of
transports, the wear and tear on the vehicle, which naturally and inevitably occurs, has increased and
the reliability of the vehicle is reduced. Typically, the City’s past practice has been to replace
ambulances after eight years of service, although this timeframe has been extended for this particular
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/12/2018Page 3 of 4
powered by Legistar™Page 79
File #:18-245 MEETING DATE:9/17/2018
apparatus.
The ambulance proposed for replacement is 12 years old with 284,000 miles. Braun Northwest, Inc.
has manufactured five of the City’s six frontline ambulances. These are of a very high quality and are
used by several municipal agencies, including the City of Los Angeles. This manufacturer was
selected by the City’s Fleet Management Division following extensive research regarding the most
reliable chassis and platform to provide emergency transport services. Maintaining standardization
of the ambulance fleet provides interoperability and facilitates the highest level of ambulance
services. The quoted price of $224,000 for the ambulance is also competitive, with bids obtained
through an intergovernmental agency transaction in accordance with Municipal Code Section
3.02.190.
Treatment Optimization and Patient Comfort
This type of ambulance is superior to other models in that its design includes an advanced
suspension system that replaces outdated technology and, more importantly, increases patient
comfort while transporting during critical care incidents. The design of the interior treatment area
includes improved ergonomics, which allow paramedics to enhance safe and effective emergency
treatment while in route to the hospital.
City Council approval is also requested for the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into any and
all documents and financial transactions necessary to finance the purchase of the fire engine and
ambulance and all related equipment. The City’s existing Master Lease Agreement would need to be
amended to include the lease-purchase of these critical pieces of public safety equipment at an
estimated cost of $1,030,000. Based on a 3.281 percent interest rate, the annual debt service
payments would equal $167,100 over the seven-year period.
The purchase of a replacement fire engine and ambulance, and all related equipment, are necessary
to continue to provide reliable emergency service to the residents and visitors of Huntington Beach.
As the FY 2018/19 Adopted Budget contains funding for the lease financing of this equipment, staff
recommends proceeding with the replacement of these important items as soon as possible to
ensure public safety.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY:David A. Segura, Fire Chief
Subject:
Approve and authorize execution of Amendment #1 to Professional Services Agreement with
Wittman Enterprises, LLC to provide Emergency Paramedic and Ambulance Billing Services
and increase appropriations and professional services authority accordingly
Statement of Issue:The Fire Department requires professional services for the billing of emergency
paramedic and ambulance services. To provide these services, the City Council approved a
professional services agreement with Wittman Enterprises, LLC on October 5, 2015, for a three-year
term, with a possible one-year extension. An amendment is requested to extend the contract for the
one-year extension and an additional contract authorization of $398,607 to cover the cost of services
for one year is needed. The Fire Department’s FY 2018/2019 General Fund budget and Professional
Services Authority will also need to be amended by a commensurate amount to ensure compliance
with Administrative Regulation No. 228. Funding is budgeted for this contract in the FY 2018/19
budget, but an additional allocation of $124,832 will be required.
Financial Impact:
The recommended action is cost-neutral since the fees for billing services are offset by revenue
generated by the emergency paramedic and ambulance services billing. The FY 2018/19 budget
includes $321,092 for this contract in account 10065401.69365 and an additional allocation of
$124,832 will be required. Funding will be allocated on an incremental basis as-needed, based on
service demands.
Recommended Action:
A) Adopt and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute “Amendment No. 1 to Agreement
Between the City of Huntington Beach and Wittman Enterprises, LLC” for Emergency Paramedic and
Ambulance Billing Services; and,
B) Approve an additional appropriation of $124,832 for the FireMed Administration business unit
(10065401.69365); and,
C) Increase the Fire Department’s professional services authority by $398,607 to ensure

File #:18-320 MEETING DATE:9/17/2018
compliance with Administrative Regulation No. 228.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not adopt the attached resolution and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The City of Huntington Beach currently contracts with Wittman Enterprises, LLC to provide
emergency paramedic and ambulance billing services. The current contract was authorized by the
City Council on October 5, 2015, and expires on October 4, 2018, with a possible one-year
extension. Wittman Enterprises charges 4.75% of net revenue collected. Their billing services have
generated approximately $6 million in General Fund revenue for each of the past three years, for a
total of $18 million for this period.
Wittman Enterprises has 30 years of experience in emergency medical billing. The Fire Department
possesses exceptionally high collection abilities for emergency medical billing services, partially due
to the area’s patient demographics. Wittman Enterprises maximizes revenue collections and is
highly recommended by over 100 agencies in seven states across the country.
When the contract with Wittman Enterprises was executed in October 2015, the three-year term was
not to exceed $992,652 and was based on the Fire Department’s current activity level and future
increase for emergency medical services. The cost for the one-year extension accommodates the
expected increase in Fire Department emergency medical services for the next year and an
additional contract authorization of $398,607 is needed. The department is requesting to increase its
contract authorization by that same amount. Most of the additional funding for this service is included
in the FY 2018/19 budget.
The Fire Department is also requesting an additional appropriation of $124,832 for the FireMed
Administration business unit (10065401.69365) to cover the additional cost of the contract during the
one-year extension. The additional allocation is needed to continue billing services, which provides
revenue to the General Fund budget.
The recommended action is cost-neutral since the fees for billing services are offset by revenue
generated by the emergency paramedic and ambulance services billing.
Environmental Status:
None.
Strategic Plan Goal:

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY:David A. Segura, Fire Chief
Subject:
Approve additional appropriation for professional fire prevention inspection, plan check , and
environmental engineering services; and, approve and authorize execution of Amendment #1
to Professional Services Agreement with Bureau Veritas North America, Inc. in the amount of
$420,669 for fire prevention inspection and plan review services and increase professional
services authority accordingly
Statement of Issue:
The Fire Department requires professional fire prevention inspection, plan check,and environmental
engineering services. The Department requests an additional appropriation of $300,000 for these
services. In addition, a contract amendment is being requested to increase the contract authorization
for Bureau Veritas North America, Inc. in the amount of $420,669. The professional services
authority for Bureau Veritas is also requested to be increased by a commensurate amount.
Financial Impact:
The FY 2018/19 budget for professional services under 10065201.69365 is currently $100,000, so an
additional allocation of $300,000 will be required. Funding will be allocated on an incremental basis
as needed, based on development project demands. The recommended action is primarily cost-
neutral since a major portion of these expenditures are reimbursed by developers and also offset by
revenues generated from inspection and plan review services.
Recommended Action:
A) Approve an appropriation of $300,000 for Fire Prevention inspection, plan check and
environmental engineering services; and,
B) Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute “Amendment No. 1 to Professional
Services Contract Between the City of Huntington Beach and Bureau Veritas North America, Inc. for

with Administrative Regulation No. 228.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the additional appropriation or contract amendment and provide staff with alternative
direction.
Analysis:
The Fire Prevention Division is responsible for enforcing local, state, and federal codes in order to
reduce the loss of life and property from preventable fires and other emergencies. These
responsibilities are achieved through the use of professional services to cover the increase in
workload.
In Fiscal Year 2017/18, the Fire Prevention Division conducted life safety and fire permit inspections,
totaling 8,500. These inspections covered businesses, residential facilities, hazardous materials
occupancies, oil wells, and new construction. This Division also performed annual inspections of
approximately 2,800 multi-family residential complexes as mandated by the State. In addition to
inspection services, the Fire Prevention Division conducted approximately 2,000 plan check reviews
in Fiscal Year 2017/18.
The total fire inspection and plan review revenues anticipated for FY 2018/19 is $981,500. The total
fire inspection and plan review revenues received in FY 2017/18 was $949,668. However, that fiscal
year is not closed yet so the revenues reported are still subject to change due to fiscal year-end
accruals and adjustments that have not been posted.
Whenever City staff can no longer meet the increased demands of development activity, including
performing life safety, business, and state mandated inspections, these services are usually
supplemented with professional fire prevention inspection and plan review consulting services. This
approach is a cost effective method of closing the gap between the demands for inspection and plan
review services and the ability of City staff to meet those demands.
Typical Fire Prevention inspection, plan check and environmental engineering services include:
·Performing over the counter plan check services and consultations
·Performing plan checks for detailed technical projects, including oil well abandonments
·Performing field inspections of operational fire permits, fire protection systems, fire master
plans, and architectural plans
·Determining plan compliance with applicable codes, specifications, and City standards
·Submitting a list of items requiring correction to achieve conformance with City regulations
·Providing technical reports of findings and recommendations
Development activity that the Fire Department processes has required additional professional
services to meet demands. Examples of significant current and upcoming projects that require these
inspection and plan review services include, but are not limited to, the Oakmont Senior Living
Development, Lebard Park, Parkside Estates, Pierside Pavillion Phase III, Gothard Townhomes,
Sunset Beach Hotel, 600 PCH Apartments, Bolsa Chica Business Park, and Sea Dance Residential.
The Department is requesting an additional appropriation for professional environmental engineering
and plan check/fire inspection services. The current funding for FY 2018/19 is $100,000 and is
anticipated to be exhausted by the end of the calendar year. An additional appropriation of $300,000
to the Fire Prevention business unit (10065201.69365) is requested. This amount will sustain theseCity of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/12/2018Page 2 of 3
powered by Legistar™Page 132
File #:18-322 MEETING DATE:9/17/2018
to the Fire Prevention business unit (10065201.69365) is requested. This amount will sustain these
services through June 30, 2019. These expenditures are primarily cost-neutral since a major portion
of the services are reimbursed by developers and offset by General Fund revenues generated from
cost recovery fees associated with fire inspection and plan check services.
The additional allocation is needed to continue providing development related and inspection
services to the community in a timely manner.
On May 2, 2016, the City Council authorized a professional services contract with Bureau Veritas
North America, Inc. Total compensation for this contract was $720,000. Since then, the services of
Bureau Veritas North America, Inc. have been utilized more than was originally anticipated partially
due to a vacancy in the Fire Prevention Division, as well as continued increasing demand for the fire
inspection and plan review services. The Fire Department is requesting to increase the Bureau
Veritas North American, Inc. professional services agreement by $420,669, which will revise the total
compensation of this contract to $1,140,669 over the three-year term of the contract. The
amendment is needed to continue providing development related and inspection services to the
community in a timely manner.

of their Firearms Training Facility located at 7351 W. Hazard in Westminster, CA. The current hourly
rate is $600.00 for full-day use, and $300.00 for half-day use.
Financial Impact:
The proposed contract for FY 2018/2019 will lock the daily rental rate at $600.00 and half-day rental
rate at $300.00. There is currently $66,500 in funding allocated for the City of Westminster in the FY
18/19 budget (account 10070303.68560) for the use of this facility.
Recommended Action:
Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a two-year contract with the City of
Westminster entitled “Indemnification and Hold Harmless Agreement” to continue access and use of
their Firearms Training Facility beginning on July 1, 2018.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The Huntington Beach City Council approved the contract agreement with the City of Westminster to
access and conduct firearms training at their Firearms Training Facility, on July 1, 2016 , and the term
of agreement expired on July 1, 2018.
During the terms of the prior contract with the City of Westminster, the Huntington Beach Police
Department has had no adverse issues with the training center or the City of Westminster.
The City of Huntington Beach is required to conduct periodic firearms training and qualifications. In
order to maintain a safe, cost-effective, and successful firearms training program, the Police
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/12/2018Page 1 of 2
powered by Legistar™Page 173
File #:18-329 MEETING DATE:9/17/2018
Department recommends the City continue the contract with the City of Westminster to continue
conducting firearms training and qualifications at this facility. The City of Westminster has requested
the term of the contract remain at two-years. The contract requires a general liability insurance policy,
worker’s compensation coverage, and a hold harmless agreement.
The City of Westminster Training Facility offers the ability to schedule firearms training to include the
use of the firearms range, arrest and control room, classrooms, and firearms cleaning room.
Huntington Beach Police Officers are often required to conduct firearms training on-duty. The close
proximity of this facility to Huntington Beach allows for a timely return to the City in the case of an
emergency. The only other alternative for firearms training at this time is the City of Buena Park or
Norco, California.

Subject:
Public Hearing to consider adoption of Resolution No. 2018-53 approving an Annual
Assessment within the Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District (DTBID)
for Fiscal Year 2018-2019; and, authorize appropriation of funds
Statement of Issue:
On August 20, 2018, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2018-43, declaring its intention to levy
an assessment for the Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District (DTBID) and
authorized the City Clerk to schedule a public hearing for September 17, 2018. The City Council is
requested to conduct the public hearing and consider adopting Resolution No. 2018-53 to approve
the annual assessment for 2018-19.
Financial Impact:
The 2018-2019 Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District Budget includes
revenues of $651,460 and expenses of $651,356. Within the DTBID budget, $121,460 in revenues is
derived from DTBID Member Assessments which are only included in the City’s 2018-2019 Budget
(Fund 710). The actual amount of all DTBID fees assessed is $134,360; however, due to vacancies,
business closures, and other non-payments, the DTBID does not budget for 100% of projected fees.
City Council authority is needed to increase the appropriation of current year budgeted revenues and
expenditures by $11,460. The budget was originally estimated at $110,000, but City Council approval
will increase Fund 710 to $121,460.
Recommended Action:
A) Conduct the Public Hearing; and,
B) If protests of 50% are not received, adopt Resolution No. 2018-53, "A Resolution of the City
Council of the City of Huntington Beach Approving An Annual Assessment Within the Huntington
Beach Downtown Business Improvement District For Fiscal Year 2018-2019"; and
C) Appropriate an additional $11,460 for a total of $121,460 into Fund 710 for 2018-2019.

Analysis:
BACKGROUND
On September 7, 2004, the City Council approved Resolution No. 3661, establishing the Huntington
Beach Downtown Business Improvement District (DTBID) to fund promotional activities benefiting all
businesses within the district area. In addition, pursuant to State law, the City Council appointed an
Advisory Board for the District. The purpose of the BID Advisory Board is to make recommendations
to the City Council regarding the expenditures of revenues derived from the assessments, on the
classifications from businesses, and on the method of levying the assessments. The Advisory
Board’s recommendations are then considered by the City Council at a noticed public meeting and
approved or modified as determined by the City Council.
In February 2008, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 3797, which amended Ordinance No.
3661, to change the manner in which the District’s Advisory Board was selected. Following adoption
of Ordinance No. 3797, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2008-04, which appointed a non -
profit corporation known as the Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District (the
“Non-Profit Corporation”) to act as the Advisory Board for the District. On August 16, 2010, the City
Council approved Resolution No. 2010-60, which re-affirmed the designation of the Non-Profit
Corporation as the Advisory Board. The Non-Profit Corporation has continued to act as the Advisory
Board for the District since the adoption of the Resolution.
At the Study Session held on April 3, 2017, the City Council recommended that the DTBID retain the
services of an outside, industry-specific consultant to review and evaluate the DTBID’s operations
and structure, and provide recommendations to improve the functionality and professionalism of the
organization to the benefit of its members. The DTBID subsequently contracted with the International
Downtown Association (IDA) to review the DTBID. The IDA is an association of place making and
experienced City professionals who bring their expertise and successful experience to provide tools,
intelligence, and strategies for creating healthy and dynamic centers that anchor the well-being of
towns, cities, and regions of the world. An IDA panel of professionals from various areas within the U .S
. visited Huntington Beach from June 19-21, 2017. The panel spent significant time in the Downtown
area, interviewed over 55 stakeholders, and produced a report in July containing their observations
and recommendations. At the City Council meeting of August 21, 2017, the International Downtown
Association (IDA) presented the findings and recommendations.
BID PROCESS

powered by Legistar™Page 184
File #:18-331 MEETING DATE:9/17/2018
On August 20, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-43, affirming its intent to approve
the proposed assessments for 2018-2019 and setting the public hearing for September 17, 2018.
Copies of the Resolution of Intention and Annual Report were mailed to each current business owner
within the boundaries of the DTBID. A Notice of Public Hearing and copy of the Resolution was
published in the Huntington Beach Wave on September 6, 2018.
Prior to City Council approval of the Annual Report and Proposed Budget, the City sent two letters
dated May 24, 2018, and June 14, 2018, to all the members of the DTBID concerning the process to
levy the assessment this year.Included with the letters was DTBID District Boundary and Benefit
Zones, the proposed formula/method and basis for levying the assessment including the current and
proposed assessment, as well as a general description of the activities or improvements the
proposed assessment will fund. In addition, the letters informed that there are two public meetings
where the City Council will provide an opportunity for public testimony regarding the annual
assessment. Both of the meetings were open to the public, the meetings were conducted on May 21,
2018 and August 20, 2018.
As required by State law, a protest hearing must be held to provide the opportunity for an affected
business to voice their protests or submit protests in writing. If such protests should be received
during the hearing, the City Council will tally the percentage of assessment protests and will hear
additional public comment on the renewal of the DTBID. If the protests total less than 50% of the
amount to be collected, the City Council may approve the renewal of the DTBID. The City Council
also has the option of reducing assessments or modifying the boundary area if public comments
prompt adjustments. If protests are received from affected business owners totaling 50% or more of
assessments, no further proceedings to continue the DTBID can be considered for a period of one
year.
BID ACTIVITIES
During Fiscal Year 2017-2018, the DTBID promoted and enhanced the overall appeal of Downtown
through its programs and services, including: creation of an Enhanced Security Program, Downtown
Ambassador Program, events such as Chili at the Beach, Surf City Days, HalloweenFest, Tree
Lighting/Miracle on Main Street, holiday decorations, and marketing to drive locals and visitors to eat
and shop downtown. The DTBID manages the downtown maintenance operations with funds
administered through the City’s Public Works Department. During the last year, the DTBID has
increased the maintenance, using DTBID funds for additional Day Porter services and steam
cleaning. Surf City Nights continues on Tuesday and the DTBID continues to make improvements to
the event with funds generated from event vendors and sponsor fees.
Over the last year, the DTBID has begun to implement many of the changes recommended by the
IDA, especially focused on staffing, development of policies and procedures and creation of a vision.
Job descriptions have been created and a new DTBID manager was hired in February 2018, and an
Events Coordinator was hired to manage Surf City Nights, who reports to the BID Manager. New
financial policies were adopted to manage the DTBID and Surf City Nights. The Board of Directors
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/12/2018Page 3 of 5
powered by Legistar™Page 185
File #:18-331 MEETING DATE:9/17/2018
approved a Reserves Operating Policy and establishing guidelines for how the board can best use
these resources for the benefit of business improvement Downtown.
The DTBID will be launching a new website in October 2018, to improve communication with
stakeholders, citizens and visitors. The improved communication will include the creation of a
comprehensive database separating Downtown Business e-mail contacts (both owner and local
managers) and interested public members for general information. The new database will ensure
that the DTBID is communicating with the local on-site managers and the corporate offices, for the
larger corporations. In addition to continuing with their annual programs and events, the DTBID
President developed a list of perception issues to develop solutions. The perception issues include
homeless, public safety, parking, restrooms, lighting, dedicated walkway between Pacific City and
Main Street, ordinances, visual appeal and information districts.
Funding recommendations to the City Council are made by a ten-member Advisory Board (nine
voting members, one non-voting member) which is elected annually by assessed members. State
law requires that DTBID activities benefit businesses located and operating in the assessment
boundary.
Downtown businesses are assessed based on their size, location, and business type. Assessments
range from $40-$1,200 per annum, per business.
On May 10, 2018, the DTBID Board recommended changes to the assessment formula and the
DTBID Zones. The BID Retail/Restaurant assessments for Zone 2 were changed from a flat $300 to
assessments based on square footage; similar to Zone 1. The Benefit Zones were modified to move
Waterfront Hotels and Pacific City from Zone 1 to Zone 2. Based upon this change, a majority of the
retail/restaurant businesses assessments were lowered in Pacific City/Waterfront. However, the
hotel fees were increase for both Zone 1 and 2. The Finance/Governance Committee recommended
the changes in the Zone 2 fees, based on benefits from the DTBID, such as the Enhanced Security
and additional cleaning focused on Main Street and 5th Street areas.
The DTBID’s total operational budget includes the operations and revenues of Surf City Nights, which
previously operated under its own budget and the Downtown Maintenance/Malco. The total budget
for 2018-2019 is summarized within the Annual Report with an additional line-item attachment. The

Alternative Action(s):
Reject the Ordinance amendment to the Huntington Beach Municipal Code and direct staff
accordingly.
Analysis:
As part of the FY 2015/16 budget development process, the City Council approved the inclusion of
funding for a Deputy Director of Community Development classification. This action provided the
foundation for succession planning and strategic department and divisional re-alignment in
anticipation of the future retirement of the former department director. This action was deferred until
the onboarding of the current department director that recently took place in July of 2018.
Reporting directly to the Director of Community Development, the Deputy Director of Community
Development has broad authority for directing and coordinating Community Development
Department administration and operations through subordinate managers and supervisors. The
incumbent is responsible for directing and reviewing the work of the following sections: Permit and
Plan Check Services, Planning Services, Neighborhood Preservation and Code Enforcement
Services, and Building Inspection Services. The incumbent assumes full program responsibility
including decision making on key policy issues, establishing program goals and objectives, setting
program priorities, and allocating necessary staffing and other resources.
The position will be an employment contract/at-will employment appointment as part of the
classifications designated as Non-Represented/Non-Associated, and is not included as part of the
competitive service. The compensation for the Deputy Director of Community Development (job
description attached) is established at pay grade NA0840. The base annual compensation range is
$66.98 to $83.25 per hour/$139,312 to $173,160 annually. The City Manager has selected Jennifer
Villasenor for appointment to the position, effective the pay period beginning September 22, 2018.
Jennifer Villasenor has more than 18 years of experience in the area of Planning and Community
Development. Ms. Villasenor began her City of Huntington Beach career as an Associate Planner in
2006 and was promoted to Senior Planner in 2010 and thereafter was promoted to Planning
Manager in 2015. Prior to her employment with the City of Huntington Beach, Jennifer worked in
planning for the cities of El Monte, Rosemead, and Bell Gardens.

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,

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 medical plans shall be governed by applicable plan document.

the spouse or family for a period not to exceed twelve (12) months.
D. Schedule of Benefits

With the exception of an industrial disability retirement, eligibility for benefits begins

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.

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.
Exhibit "A" to Non-Associated Resolution No. 2016-50 HB 679- Item 25. -28 Page 224
NON-ASSOCIATED EMPLOYEES PAY AND BENEFITS RESOLUTION
Employees wanting to make donations will submit a Leave Donation Form to the Finance
Department (payroll).
All donation forms submitted to payroll will be date stamped and used in order received for
each bi-weekly pay period. Multiple donations will be rotated in order to insure even use of
time from donors. Any donation form submitted that is not needed will be returned to the
donor.
6. Other

participation in this program.

File #:18-349 MEETING DATE:9/17/2018
REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Erik Peterson, Mayor Pro Tem
Lyn Semeta, City Council Member
DATE: September 17, 2018
Councilmember Item Submitted by Mayor Pro Tem Peterson and Councilmember Semeta -
Violations and Abuses Related to In-Home Businesses
Statement of Issue:
The City seeks to preserve the quality of life of its residents, including their ability to enjoy the peace
and quiet of their homes and their neighborhoods. The City also has an interest in insuring the health
and safety of all residents of Huntington Beach by stopping certain in-home business operations,
many of which are exploiting and abusing the system by illegally offering un-licensed, in-home
counseling and other medical services.
We are aware of at least one death that recently occurred at an in-home business within the City, as
well as instances of overdoses and other health and safety problems in neighborhoods with
unregulated in-home businesses. We also are informed that in-home businesses in these single-
family residences experience overcrowding. We also have knowledge that: business operations
occur without requisite State-law certifications; that business operations occur in violation of the
Health and Safety Codes; business operations occur in violation of the Business and Professions
Code; and more. The Orange County District Attorney’s office recently formed a specialized Task
Force aimed at probing insurance fraud perpetuated by these businesses in an effort to prevent
exploitation and abuse. The City has a similar interest in preventing such exploitation in the City.
The City should enhance its ability to investigate and prosecute possible State and local law
violations and abuses related to in-home businesses in order to address the quality of life and public
and individual safety concerns outlined above.
Recommended Action:
Direct the City Attorney to return to the City Council with a proposal for an increased investigation of
illicit, State and/or local law violating, unlicensed, and/or nuisance in-home businesses as outlined
above, including the possibility of engaging an independent contractor(s) to assist with investigative
and enforcement efforts.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION

Subject:
Councilmember Item Submitted by Councilmembers Brenden and Delgleize for the September
17, 2018 Meeting - Creation of Jet Noise Commission
Statement of Issue:
The Air Traffic Noise Working Group (ATNWG) was formed by City Council on January 8, 2018 and
subsequently held regular monthly meetings, convened meetings with the Long Beach Airport, and
held a successful Town Hall Meeting with over 200 attendees. The key objectives of the working
group were as follows: 1) define and prioritize remedies/identify where authority/control resides; 2)
acquire technical information and flight data that supports the case; 3) establish a working dialogue
with the Federal Aviation Administration, the airlines, Long Beach Airport, and other parties who can
help to effect change; 4) if necessary activate a letter writing/email campaign to enlist community
involvement; 5) if necessary, assess the feasibility of legal action; 6) conduct a community meeting
within 90 days; and 7) provide the community with ongoing updates via the City’s website. Through
its meetings, the ATNWG concluded that there is a significant increase in commercial jet noise over
Huntington Beach and it is negatively impacting the quality of life of residents, especially those most
directly under the new and concentrated air traffic routes.
The substantial noise increase is a direct result of a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
modernization program referred to as “Next Gen.” This is not a unique situation to the City and is
actually a nationwide problem, with municipalities across the nation taking action against the FAA. To
date, the FAA has been reluctant to address noise issues anywhere in the county. As a result, the
City will need a long-term commitment to continue the fight to reduce jet noise over the City. The
consensus amongst the ATNWG that a Jet Noise Commission be created to continually monitor this
issue and work collaboratively with neighboring cities, regulatory bodies, airlines, and staff to monitor
the impact of commercial jet noise on the quality of life in Huntington Beach and advise the City
Council and City Attorney on issues and proposed remedies. The Commission would be similar to
other City Commissions and would consist of two City Council liaisons, a Staff liaison, and have
seven at-large members. The scope of the Commission would be limited to the commercial aviation
traffic over the City.
Recommended Action:
