Process; Community Engagement: Interactive Input; Prop 68 - Green Infrastructure Grant; and
Questions.
Councilmember Posey and Director Knight discussed possible sources of funding, and how the City's
status of not being "park poor" reduces the likelihood to be considered "competitive" or qualified for
consideration for funding. Director Knight explained most park grants are not available for rehabilitation
of existing parks, and indicated she will update Council on the process once the awards are announced
which should occur before the end of the year.
Councilmember Delgleize and Director Knight discussed the possibility of working with the School
Districts for those parks on school grounds.
Councilmember Carr confirmed with Director Knight that the on-line survey Proposition 68 link can be
found on the City's website, on the Community Services page. This survey will be available through
August 2nd. Councilmember Carr and Director Knight also discussed the upcoming "per capita" funding
opportunities for which criteria details have not yet been released.
Councilmember Hardy and Director Knight discussed various sustainability options might be available for
grant funds.
2. 19-630 Regional Housing Need Allocation Update
Ursula Luna-Reynosa, Community Development Director; Nicole Aube, Associate Planner; and Jane
James, Planning Manager, jointly presented a PowerPoint communication entitled RHNA Process
Overview with slides entitled: City Council Direction; Regional Housing Needs (RHNA); What is an
eligible RHNA unit?; Planning Target or Production Target?; 5th Cycle Noncompliance; 6th Cycle RHNA
Overview; New 6th Cycle RHNA methodology; 6th Cycle RHNA Timeline; Status of RHNA
Subcommittee; Opportunities for Engagement; and Questions.
Mayor Pro Tem Semeta explained that when the California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) provides the overall numbers for a Southern California Association of Government
(SCAG) Region, only SCAG can appeal the numbers, not the individual cities.
Councilmember Hardy and Director Luna-Reynosa discussed the kinds of documentation required for an
appeal, the new process that may allow for inter-city coordination and opportunities that might change
during the course of a cycle. Councilmember Hardy acknowledged the dedication and efforts of the
Planning Department, which resulted in the City of Huntington Beach being the first city to have their
Housing Element certified.
Councilmember Delgleize expressed a desire to see monthly updates, and reviewed with staff the
requirements for an eligible RHNA unit.
Councilmember Posey and staff discussed whether Proposition 68 funding requires a Certified Housing
Element, and Councilmember Posey explained some objection details he and Mayor Pro Tem Semeta
have presented as RHNA Liaisons. Councilmember Posey and staff discussed conditions that may
affect the RHNA numbers when moving from one cycle to the next, and possibly impacted by new
legislation.
Council/PFA Regular Minutes
July 15, 2019
Page 3 of 14
Councilmember Brenden expressed his support for monthly updates and suggested that the timeline
milestones should determine the type of update, i.e., whether a written report, or Study Session
presentation.
Mayor Pro Tem Semeta and staff discussed a snapshot of possible RHNA numbers based on two
potential scenarios, and noted the potential for a major increase in the RHNA numbers. Mayor Pro Tem
Semeta asked for a Council consensus to direct staff to continue to provide public comment letters at the
appropriate times to the RHNA Subcommittee. Mayor Peterson supported the request as long as either
Mayor Pro Tem Semeta or Councilmember Posey review and approve the letters as RHNA Liaisons.
Councilmembers Posey and Hardy discussed the potential for multi-jurisdictional cooperation, a process
whereby adjoining cities can work together on RHNA distribution. Staff explained that the opportunity for
a sub-regional delegation had been explored, and all Orange County Council of Governments (OCCOG)
cities chose to not work collectively, and therefore that process is no longer available.
Mayor Peterson and staff discussed the current shortage of RHNA units is 410.
Mayor Peterson and Interim City Manager Kiff agreed that the monthly RHNA update will be part of the
City Manager's Report.
A motion was made by Posey, second Hardy, to recess to Closed Session for Item Nos. 3 – 7. With no
objections, the motion carried.

The City Council held a Strategic Planning Retreat on February 7, 2019, in which the City Council
developed 20 Strategic Objectives based on four (4) Strategic Plan Goals. The Strategic Objectives
were reviewed in a public meeting and through consensus by the City Council Members present,
were compiled into a draft Strategic Objectives Grid. The Strategic Objectives were brought forth to
City Council for approval on March 4, 2019.

Mission Statement, Three-Year Goals, and corresponding Priority Strategic Objectives. This process
is ongoing and is a critical component of maintaining the City in a fiscally sustainable manner. In
fulfilling this process, the City Council met on February 7, 2019, to review and update the Three-Year
Goals and their Priority Strategic Objectives.
The Three-Year Goals are organized into four categories as follows:
⁻Enhance and Maintain High Quality City Services
⁻Enhance and Maintain the Infrastructure

Statement of Issue:
On July 24, 2019, the Intergovernmental Relations Committee (IRC) comprised of Mayor Erik
Peterson, Mayor Pro Tem Lyn Semeta, and Council Member Jill Hardy met to discuss pending
Federal and State legislation. Additionally, the IRC discussed City Boards and Commissions and
were presented with information from Southern California Edison and Southern California Gas
Company.
Financial Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this Council Action.
Recommended Action:
A) Approve a City position of Oppose on Assembly Bill 302 (Berman) - Parking: Homeless Students;
and,
B) Approve a City position of Oppose on Assembly Bill 1482 (Chiu) - Tenancy: Rent Caps; and,
C) Adopt Resolution No. 2019-53, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Urging the State of California to Implement a Variety of Strategies and Technologies that Further
Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions as the State Considers Building Decarbonization.”
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The Intergovernmental Relations Committee (IRC) met to discuss pending Federal and State

following is an analysis of the bills that the Committee chose to take the following positions on:
Ø OPPOSE - Assembly Bill 302 (Berman) - Parking: Homeless Students
This Assembly Bill would authorize the governing board of a community college district (in our
case the Coast Community College District) to grant the use of college facilities or grounds for
specified purposes. For example, existing law requires a community college campus that has
shower facilities for student use to grant access to those facilities to any homeless student
who is enrolled in courses, paid fees, and is in good standing with the District. This bill would
require community college campuses that have parking facilities on campus to grant overnight
access to those facilities (parking lots/structures).
Ø OPPOSE - Assembly Bill 1482 (Chiu) - Tenancy: Rent Caps
This bill establishes a rent cap of 5% plus regional CPI on all residential rental properties,
except rent-controlled and deed-restricted units. This bill discourages the production of rental
housing by establishing rent caps that are restrictive and force landlords to demonstrate cause
to evict a tenant - this in turn creates a disincentive for developers to build and property
owners to offer rental housing.
Additionally,representatives from Southern California Edison and Southern California Gas Company
were in attendance to discuss and present information on balanced energy solutions.The attached
Resolution for Council consideration is amendable to both utility companies and has been passed by
other municipalities.
Over the last decade,the State of California has passed numerous bills aimed at dramatically
reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG)emissions.The most pertinent was signed into law by then
Governor Schwarzenegger in 2006,known as the California Global Warming Solutions Act (or
Assembly [AB]32)and the ancillary bills that have followed (SB 375,SB 32,etc.)have driven GHG
regulation and analysis in California,by instructing the California Air Resources Board (CARB)to
develop and enforce regulations for the reporting and verifying of statewide GHG emissions.At the
heart of the bill (AB 32)is the requirement that statewide GHG emissions be reduced to 1990 levels
by 2020.In September 2016,then Governor Brown took AB 32 a step further and signed into law SB
32 which builds upon the statewide targets for 2020 by establishing a longer-term target that states
statewide GHG emissions be reduced to 40% below the 1990 levels by 2030.
In order to accomplish these ambitious goals,the State legislature has passed a multitude of bills and
regulatory guidelines for the deployment of near-zero emission building technologies.Specifically SB
1477 which addresses climate change and affordable housing by growing the market for clean and
energy efficient heating technologies.The bill authorizes the California Public Utilities Commission
(CPUC)to develop the Technology and Equipment for Clean Heating (HEAT)Initiative and the
Building Initiative for Low Emissions Development *(BUILD)Program.These statewide initiatives
require gas corporations to advance the State’s market for low-emission space and water heating
equipment for new and existing residential buildings.It aims to reduce upfront costs and accessibility
for these technologies with incentives,thirty percent of which will be dedicated to low-income
housing.Concurrently,AB 3232 requires adopting building design and construction along with
conservation standards to be cost effective when amortized over the economic life of the structure.It
requires the California Energy Commission (CEC)to assess the potential for the State to reduce
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 8/1/2019Page 2 of 3
powered by Legistar™
File #:19-833 MEETING DATE:8/5/2019
requires the California Energy Commission (CEC)to assess the potential for the State to reduce
emissions of GHG from residential and commercial building stock by at least 40%below 1990 levels
by January 1,20130 and to report on the emissions of GHG associated with the supply of energy to
residential and commercial buildings.
The attached Resolution urges the State of California to consider and deploy a variety of strategies
and technologies as part of its goal to reduce GHG emissions from buildings by 40 percent from 1990
levels by 2030, and not implement a “one size fits all” approach to Building Decarbonization.

Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges, under
the administration of the Board of Governors of the California
Community Colleges, and authorizes the governing board of a
community college district to grant the use of college facilities or
grounds for specified purposes. Existing law requires a community
college campus that has shower facilities for student use to grant access,
as specified, to those facilities to any homeless student who is enrolled
in coursework, has paid enrollment fees, and is in good standing with
the community college district, and requires the community college to
determine a plan of action to implement this requirement.
This bill, until December 31, 2022, would require a community
college campus that has parking facilities on campus to grant overnight
access to those facilities, commencing on or before April 1, 2020, to
any homeless student who is enrolled in coursework, has paid any
enrollment fees that have not been waived, and is in good standing with
96
the community college, for the purpose of sleeping in the student’s
vehicle overnight. The bill would require the governing board of the
community college district district, commencing on or before April 1,
2020, and with the participation of student representatives, to determine
a plan of action to implement this requirement, as specified. On The
bill would require a community college district to develop a document
that clearly and concisely describes the rules and procedures established
pursuant to the bill’s overnight parking requirements, provide the
document to participating students, and make the document available
at an overnight parking facility in paper form or post the document
conspicuously on the internet website of the community college campus
in which the facility is located. The bill would also grant a community
college district immunity from civil liability for a district employee’s
good faith act or omission that fails to prevent an injury to a
participating student that occurs in, or in close proximity to, and during
the hours of operation of, overnight parking. The bill would limit this
immunity by making the immunity inapplicable to gross negligence,
intentional misconduct, or violations of other provisions of law.
On or before January 31, 2022, the bill would require the chancellor’s
office to submit to the Legislature and the Governor a report based on
data and information pertaining to the overnight parking facilities
requirements and other housing services offered to homeless students,
concerning which the bill would require the governing boards to report
to the chancellor on or before October 1, 2021. The bill’s overnight
parking facilities requirements would not apply to colleges a community
college campus providing specified homeless student housing services
on or before April 1, 2020. services. On or before April 30, 2021, the
bill would require the chancellor’s office to submit to the Legislature
and the Governor a report based on data and information pertaining to
the provision of these specified housing services commencing on or
before April 1, 2020, and other housing services offered to homeless
students, concerning which the bill would require the colleges
community college campuses to report to the chancellor on or before
January 1, 2021. By imposing additional duties on community college
districts, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
96

provisions noted above.

ASSEMBLY BILL No. 1482
Introduced by Assembly Member Chiu
(Principal coauthors: Assembly Members Bonta, Grayson, and
Wicks)
(Coauthors: Assembly Members Bloom, Carrillo, McCarty, and
Ting)
February 22, 2019
An act to add and repeal Sections 1946.2, 1947.12, and 1947.13 of
the Civil Code, relating to tenancy.
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 1482, as amended, Chiu. Tenancy: rent caps.
Existing law specifies that a hiring of residential real property, for a
term not specified by the parties, is deemed to be renewed at the end
of the term implied by law unless one of the parties gives written notice
to the other of that party’s intention to terminate. Existing law requires
an owner of a residential dwelling to give notice at least 60 days prior
to the proposed date of termination, or at least 30 days prior to the
proposed date of termination if any tenant or resident has resided in the
dwelling for less than one year, as specified. Existing law requires any
94
notice given by an owner to be given in a prescribed manner, to contain
certain information, and to be formatted, as specified.
This bill would, with certain exceptions, prohibit an owner owner,
as defined, of residential property from terminating the lease of a tenant
that has occupied the property for at least 12 months without just cause,
as defined. The bill would require, for certain just cause terminations
that are curable, that the owner give a notice of violation and an
opportunity to cure the violation prior to issuing the notice of
termination. The bill would require, for no-fault just cause terminations,
as specified, that the owner assist certain tenants to relocate, regardless
of the tenant’s income, by providing a direct payment of one month’s
rent to the tenant, as specified. The bill would provide that if the owner
does not provide relocation assistance, the notice of termination is void.
The bill would except certain properties and circumstances from the
application of its provisions. The bill would require an owner of
residential property to provide notice to a tenant of the tenant’s rights
under these provisions at the beginning of the tenancy by providing an
addendum to the lease to be signed by the tenant when the lease is
signed. signed, and to translate the notice into the language that was
used to negotiate the lease, if applicable. The bill would not prevent
local rules or ordinances that provide a higher level of tenant protections,
as specified. The bill would void any waiver of the rights under these
provisions. The bill would repeal these provisions as of January 1, 2023.
Existing law governs the hiring of residential dwelling units and
requires a landlord to provide specified notice to tenants prior to an
increase in rent. Existing law, the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act,
prescribes statewide limits on the application of local rent control with
regard to certain properties. That act, among other things, authorizes
an owner of residential real property to establish the initial and all
subsequent rental rates for a dwelling or unit that meets specified criteria,
subject to certain limitations.
This bill would, until January 1, 2023, prohibit an owner of residential
real property from increasing the rental rate for that property more than
once annually, and prohibit the owner from increasing the rental rate
in an amount that is greater than 7% plus the percentage change in the
cost of living, as defined, or 10%, whichever is lower, more than the
lowest rental rate charged for the immediately preceding 12 months,
subject to specified conditions. The bill would exempt from these
provisions deed-restricted affordable housing, specified dormitories,
housing that has been issued a certificate of occupancy within the
94
— 2 — AB 1482
previous 10 years, housing subject to a local ordinance that imposes a
more restrictive rent increase cap than these provisions, and specified
single-family housing. The bill would require the Legislative Analyst’s
Office to submit a report, on or before January 1, 2023, to the Legislature
regarding the effectiveness of these provisions. The bill would void any
waiver of the rights under these provisions. The bill provides that these
provisions apply to all rent increases occurring on or after March 15,
2019. The bill would provide that in the event that an owner increased
the rent by more than the amount specified above between March 15,
2019, and January 1, 2020, the applicable rent on January 1, 2020,
shall be the rent as of March 15, 2019, plus the maximum permissible
increase, and the owner shall not be liable to the tenant for any
corresponding rent overpayment.
The Planning and Zoning Law requires the owner of an assisted
housing development in which there will be an expiration of rental
restrictions to, among other things, provide notice of the proposed
change to each affected tenant household residing in the assisted housing
development subject to specified procedures and requirements, and to
also provide specified entities notice and an opportunity to submit an
offer to purchase the development prior to the expiration of the rental
restrictions.
This bill would authorize an owner of an assisted housing
development, who demonstrates under penalty of perjury compliance
with the provisions described above with regard to the expiration of
rental restrictions, to establish the initial unassisted rental rate for units
without regard to the cap on rent increases discussed above, but would
require the owner to comply with the above cap on rent increases for
subsequent rent increases in the development. By requiring an owner
of an assisted housing development to demonstrate compliance with
specified provisions under penalty of perjury, this bill would expand
the existing crime of perjury and thus would impose a state-mandated
local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act
for a specified reason.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Dave Kiff, Interim City Manager
PREPARED BY:Travis K. Hopkins, PE, Director of Public Works
Subject:
Approve and authorize execution of a Wireline Crossing Agreement with the Union Pacific
Railroad Company for the installation of traffic signal communication conduit on Center
Avenue (CC-1489)
Statement of Issue:
On May 20, 2019, the City Council awarded a construction contract for the traffic signal modification
at the intersection of Gothard Street and Center Avenue. This project includes the installation of a
traffic signal communication conduit under the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks at Center
Avenue which will require the execution of a Wireline Crossing Agreement with the Union Pacific
Railroad Company.
Financial Impact:
No fiscal impact.
Recommended Action:
Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a “Wireline Crossing Agreement” at Mile
Post 519.28, Stanton Industrial Lead, between the Union Pacific Railroad Company and the City of
Huntington Beach.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not authorize approval of the Wireline Crossing Agreement and provide direction to staff to amend
terms of the agreement.
Analysis:
The City applied for and subsequently received grant funding for a traffic signal modification under
the Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The intersection of Gothard Street and
Center Avenue was identified for the installation of north-south left turn arrows based on the recent
collision history. The project also included the installation of traffic signal communication conduit and
cable in order to establish direct communication between the traffic signals along Center Avenue and

the City’s Traffic Management Center located in City Hall. In order to complete this work, a conduit
must be installed under the Union Pacific Railroad tracks at Center Avenue.
The construction contract was awarded by the City Council on May 20, 2019.
In order to construct the traffic signal communication conduit under the railroad tracks, a Wireline
Crossing Agreement must be executed with the Union Pacific Railroad Company. This agreement
defines the construction requirements, legal requirements and fees assessed by the UPRR.
The total estimated project cost is $534,154 and was authorized by the City Council as part of the
project award on May 20, 2019. The Wireline Crossing Agreement charges were included in the
project funding approved on May 20, 2019, and therefore no additional funding is requested as part
of this action.

Section 4. FLAGGING.
A. Following Li censee's notice to Licensor 's Field Representatives r eq uired under the
"NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK; EMERGENCIES" Section of this Exhibit B, Licensor
shall inform L icensee if Safety Measures are required for perfonnance of the work by Licensee or its
contractor on Rai lroa d Property. If Safety Measures are required, no work of any kind may be pertonned
by Licensee or its contractor(s) until arrangements for the Safety Measures have been made and
scheduled. If no Safety Measures are required., Licensor will give Licensee written authorization to
commence work.
B . If any Safety Measures are performed or provided by Lice n sor , including but not li mited
to flagging, Licensor shall bill Licensee for such expenses incurred by Licensor, unless Licensor and a
federal, staie, or local governmenta l entity have agreed t hat L icensor is to bill such expenses to th~
federal, state, or local governmental entity. Additional infonnation regarding the submi ssion of s uch
expenses by Licensor and payment thereof by Licensee can be found in the ''LICENSEE'S PAYMENT
OF EXPENSES" Section of this Exhibit B. If Licensor performs any Safety Measures, Licensee agrees
that Licensee is not relieved of any of responsibilities or liabiliti es set forth in thi s Agreement.
C . For flagging, the rate of pay per hour for each flagger will be the prevailing hourly rate in
effect for an eight-hour day for the class of flagmen used during regularly assigned hours and overtime in
accordance with Labor Agreements and Schedules in effect at the time the work is p erformed. In addition
to the cost of such labor, a composite charge for vacation, holiday, health and welfare, supplemental
sickness, Railroad Retirement and unemployment compensation, supplemental pension, Employees
Liabi lity and Pr operty Damage, and A dm inistrati on will be included, computed on actual payroU. The
composite charge will be the prevailing composite charge i n effect at the time the work is performed. One
and one-half times the current hourly rate is paid for overtime, Saturdays and Sundays, and two and one-
half times current hourly rate for holidays. Wage rates are subject to change, at any time, by Jaw or by
agreement between Licensor and its employees, and may be retroactive as a res ult of negotiations or a

pay on the basis of the new rates and charges.
D. Reimbursement to Licensor will be required covering the full e ight-hour day during
which any flagger is furnished, unless the flagger can be assigned to other railroad work during a portion
of such day, in which event reimbursement will not be required for the portion of the day during which
the flagger is engaged in other railroad work. Reimbursement will also be required for any day not
actually worked by the flaggers following the flaggers' assignment to work on the project for which
Licensor is required to pay the flaggers and which could not reasonably be avoided by Licensor by
assignment of such flaggers to other work, even though Licensee may not be working during such time.
When it becomes necessary for Licensor to bulletin and assign an employee to a flagging position in
compliance with union collective bargaining agreements, Licensee must provide Licensor a minimum of
five (5) days notice prior to the cessation of the need for a flagger. If five (5) days notice of cessation is
not given, Licensee will still be required to pay flagging charges for the days the flagger was scheduled,
even though flagging is no longer required fo r that period. An additional ten (10) days notice must then be
given to Licensor if flagging services are needed again after such five day cessation notice has been given
to Licensor.
Section 5. SAFETY.
A. Safety of personnel, property, rail operations and the public is of paramount importance
in the prosecution of any work on Railroad Property performed by Licensee or its contractor, and takes
precedence over any work on Licensee's Facilities to be perfonned by Li censee or its contractors.
Licensee shall be responsible for initiating, maintaining and supervising all safety operations and
program s in connection with any work on Licensee's Facilities. Licensor and its contractor shall, at a
minimum comply, with Licensor's then current safety stand ards located at the below web address
("Licensor's Safety Standards") to ensure uniformity with the safety standards followed by Licensor's own
forces . As a part of Licensee's safety responsibilities, Licensee shall notify Licensor if it determines that
any of Licensor's Safety Standards are contrary to good safety practices. Licensee and its contractor shall
furnish copies of L icensor's Safety Standards to each of its employees before they enter Railroad Property

take all suitable precaution to prevent interference (by induction, leakage of electricity, or otherwise) with
the operation of the signal, communication lines or other installations or facilities of Licensor or of its
tenants. If, at any time, the operation or maintenance of Licensee's Facilities results in any electrostatic
effects which Licensor deems undesirable or harmful , or causes interference with the operation of the
signal, communication lines or other installations or facilities, as now exis ting or which may hereafter be
provided by Licensor and/or its tenants, Licensee shall, at the sole cost and expense of Licensee,
immediately modify or take action as may be necessary to eliminate such interference.
D. Licensor's operations and work performed by Licensor's personnel may cause delays in
Licensee's or its contractor's work on Licensee's Facilities. Licensee accepts this risk and agrees that
Licensor shall have no liability to Licensee or any other person or entity for any such delays. Licensee
must coordinate any work on Railroad Property by Licensee or any third party with Licensor's Field
Representatives in strict compliance with the "NOTICE OF CO'MJ\.ffiNCEMENT OF WORK;
EMERGENCIES" Section of this Exhibit B .
E. Licensor shall have the ri ght, if it so elects, to provide any support it deems necessary for
the safety of Licensor's operations and trackage during Licensee's or its contractor's construction,
maintenance, repair, renewal, modification, relocation, reconstruction, or removal of Licensee's Faci liti es.

Licensee shall telephone the telecommunications company(ies) involved, and arrange for a cable locator,
make arrangements for relocation or other protection of the fiber optic cable, all at Licensee's expense,
and will not commence any work on Railroad Property until all such protection or relocation has been
completed.
Section 7. LICENSEE'S PAYMENT OF EXPENSES.

done or materials furnished thereon at the instance or request or on behalf of Licensee. L icensee shall
promptly pay or discharge all taxes, charges, and assessments levied upon, in respect to, or on account of
Licensee's Facilities, to prevent the same from becoming a charge or lien upon any property of Licensor,
and so that the taxes, charges, and assessments levied upon or in respect to such property shall not b e
increased because of the location, construction, or maintenance of Licensee's Facili ties or any
improvement, appliance, or fixture cormected therewith placed upon such property, or on account of
Licensee's interest therein. Where such tax, charge, or assessment may not be separately made or assessed
to Licensee but shall be included in the assessment of the property of Licensor, then Licensee shall pay to
Licensor an equitable proportion of such taxes determined by the value of Licensee's property upon
property of Licensor as compared with fue en tire value of such property.
C. As set forth in the "FLAGGING" Section of this Exhibit B, Licensor shall have the right,
if it so elects, to provide any Safety Measures Licensor deems necessary for the safety of Licensor's
operations and trackage during Licensee's or its contractor's construction, maintenance, modification,
reconstruction, repair, renewal, revision, relocation, or removal of Licensee's Facilities, including, but not

(ii) as is necessary to ensure safe and r eliable maintenance and operation of the facilities of Licensor
and/or its tenants because of interference from Licensee's Facilities.
B. Upon any Modification of all or any portion of Licensee's Facilities to another location
on Railroad Property, Licensor and Licensee shall execute a Supplemental Agreement to thi s Wireline

Modifications result in Licensee's Facilities moving off of Railroad Property, this Agreement will
terminate upon Licensee's completion of such Modification(s) and all requirements contained within the
"TERMINATION; REMOVAL OF LICENSEE'S FAClLlTIES" Section of this Exhibit B. Any such
Modification(s) off of Railroad Property will not release Licensee from any liability or other obligation of
Licensee arising prior to and upon completion of any such Modifications to the Licensee's Facilities.
Section 9. RESTORATION OF RAILROAD PROPERTY.
In the event Licensee, in any manner moves or disturbs any property of Licensor in connection
with the construction, maintenance, modification, reconstruction, repair, renewal, revision, relocation, or
removal of Licensee's Facilities, then, Licensee shall , as soon as possible and at Licensee's sole cost and

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Dave Kiff, Interim City Manager
PREPARED BY:Marie Knight, Director of Community Services
Subject:
Adopt Ordinance 4185 repealing Huntington Beach Municipal Code Section 2.101 relating to
the dissolution of the Allied Arts Board (AAB)
Approved for introduction 7/15/2019, Vote: 7-0
Statement of Issue:
Adopt Ordinance 4185 to repeal Section 2.101 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code to dissolve
the Allied Arts Board.
Financial Impact:
Not applicable.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Ordinance 4185, “An Ordinance of the City of Huntington Beach Repealing Huntington Beach
Municipal Code Section 2.101 Allied Arts Board.”
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the recommended action and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The Allied Arts Board (AAB) was established in 1979. Per Municipal Code Chapter 2.101, the
purpose of the AAB is to encourage and promote cultural activities in the City and to act as an
advisory body to the City Council on matters pertaining to arts and cultural affairs. The AAB currently
meets once every other month. Past ongoing programs have included the twice-a-year art contest
and awards ceremony recognizing the talents of our local artists and their commitment to the arts.
At the time when the Allied Arts Board (AAB) was established, opportunities and advocacy for arts
and culture were limited. However, since then, the number of local arts organizations has grown, as
well as these groups’ presence and community involvement. Local artists now find their voice
through the advocacy of several new organizations, including the Huntington Beach Art League, the
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 8/1/2019Page 1 of 3

File #:19-815 MEETING DATE:8/5/2019
Huntington Harbour Art Association, Las Damas (Sunset Beach), as well as the Huntington Beach Art
Center’s Artist Council. Through the active involvement of our local artists in these groups, the prior
mission and purpose of the establishment of the AAB has been shared by a variety of organizations
whose purpose is to advocate for the arts.
Furthermore, at the April 2, 2018, City Council Meeting, a Council Member Item was approved, which
directed the City Manager to prepare a proposal for the creation of a comprehensive public art
program and to review and make recommendations regarding the composition and mission of
existing boards and commissions, including the AAB.
Consequently, a Public Art Task Force was created, comprised of members from the AAB, Visit
Huntington Beach, as well as City staff from Community Services, Community Development, and the
City Manager’s Office. The Task Force looked at other cities in the region and how they handled
public art, as well as the City’s public art component currently used in our development approval
processes. The Task Force compiled several recommendations related to an overall Public Art
Master Plan. One of those recommendations was that the Allied Arts Board be transitioned to a new
entity with new roles and responsibilities pertaining to public art in Huntington Beach. Director Marie
Knight met with the Allied Arts Board on July 30, 2018, to discuss this recommendation and the
Board was 100% supportive of this direction. The Board members were excited about the
opportunity to help shape this new venture in the city.
At the August 6, 2018, City Council Study Session, Community Services Director Marie Knight and
the Public Art Task Force presented a Public Art Master Plan Proposal for discussion. This proposal
recommended that the AAB be transitioned to a new entity with new roles and responsibilities
pertaining to public art in Huntington Beach. Additionally, a recommendation was made to engage an
outside consultant to assist with finalizing the Plan, the creation of public art policies, creation of a
“Call for Artist” program, and procedures and a community engagement process for the final plan. A
Request for Proposal (RFP) has been conducted and staff is in the final steps of procuring consulting
services, anticipating that the project will begin later this month.
As of June 2019, there are currently six vacancies within the AAB due to term expirations and
resignations, leaving three active members. Given that the AAB will soon transition into a new entity
to work on Public Art, staff recommends that the City Council thank the AAB for its service and then
dissolve the AAB at this time. Existing board members, two of whom have been members of the
Task Force, would be invited to continue their participation in the existing Public Art Task Force,
serving in a technical advisory capacity throughout the master plan and public engagement process.
Staff has discussed this direction with members of the Allied Arts Board, and we are confident that
there is a consensus of AAB members who agree with this direction.

File #:19-825 MEETING DATE:8/5/2019
Submitted by Councilmembers Delgleize and Carr - Community Choice Energy Feasibility
Study
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
The concept of community choice aggregation (CCA) has gained a lot of momentum since the
enactment of California’s CCA enabling legislation - Assembly Bill 117 (Chapter 838, Statutes of
2002). Under the CCA model (also known as a community choice energy model), cities and counties
buy and/or generate electricity for local government, residents, and businesses and make key
decisions about rates, what types of electricity to purchase, and which programs to offer customers.
Though reducing electricity costs for residents, businesses, and the City are initial drivers, many
cities are now also looking at it as a means of economic opportunity and job creation for their
communities. Currently there are 19 operational CCAs in California (nearly 4 million customer
accounts) with 9 more set to launch in 2020. Additionally, 12 cities and 7 counties are currently in the
exploratory phase.
In August of 2017, then Mayor Barbara Delgleize was authorized by City Council to sign a Non-
Disclosure Agreement with Southern California Edison (SCE) so that the City could obtain customer
class energy usage data to analyze and conduct a Community Choice Energy (CCE) feasibility study
to see if a CCE would be economically feasible for the city’s customers (residential, industrial,
governmental, and commercial). At that time, the Public Works Department issued a Request for
Qualifications and firms submitted proposals, but the effort did not proceed from there. This Council
Member Item requests that the Study be completed and the analysis reported back to the City
Council, as it would be prudent for the City to at least study the feasibility of a CCE. A study that in
no way means the City would leave the electric utility and form its own CCE but the City Council
should at least be presented with the pros and cons.
Direct the City Manager and the Public Works Director to complete a Community Choice Energy
Feasibility Study and report back to the City Council within six (6) months.

Submitted by Councilmember Posey - Adopting an Annual Work Plan for the Finance
Commission
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
The City’s Finance Commission,as codified in the Municipal Code (Section 2.109.050),serves “only
in an advisory capacity and not be vested with final authority in the establishment of priorities or the
expenditure of funds.” Additionally, the Finance Commission has the duty to:
1.Review and make recommendations regarding:
a.Fiscal Policies, Financial Planning, and Funding
b.Annual Adopted Budget
c.Proposals related to financial matters;
d.Fiscal impacts of major projects;
e.Service contracts on an as-needed basis; and
f.Proposed State or Federal Legislation which may impact the City’s finances.
2.Perform such other duties or studies as may be directed by the City Council.
I believe that it would be helpful for the Council and the community would benefit from the Finance
Commission following an Annual Work Plan set forth by the City Council in January of each year.
This Work Plan could be amended as needed based on the Strategic Goals set forth by the City
Council.Further,if the Finance Commission wished to study an area outside of the Council-adopted
Work Plan,the Finance Commission could seek the permission of the Council prior to doing so.
Items in the Work Plan could include:
1.Making recommendations in regards to our Unfunded Pension Liabilities and Other Post-
Employment Benefits (OPEB).
2.Studying how the Cal-PERS Board’s ESG (Environmental,Social,and Governance)5-Year
Strategic Plan may impact Cal-PERS rate of return,including extrapolating those gains or
losses to Huntington Beach’s Cal-PERS funds.
3.Researching funding alternatives for a Navigation Center’s purchase, lease, or operations
4.Making recommendations as to AB 8’s impacts on Huntington Beach’s property tax receipts
when compared with other large California cities (i.e. the “donor county” concept)
5.Making recommendations as to how to best maintain our infrastructure (including parks)in the
long term.
6.Ensuring full cost-recovery on special events
7.Analyzing our fee schedules; and
8.Recommending new revenue opportunities.
Direct the City Manager and the City Attorney to amend the Municipal Code Section 12.109 to reflect
(generally) that the Finance Commission:
1.Advise the City Council on financial matters related to the City’s finances as directed by the
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 8/1/2019Page 1 of 2

File #:19-826 MEETING DATE:8/5/2019
1.Advise the City Council on financial matters related to the City’s finances as directed by the
City Council.The scope of each task/project assigned to the Commission by the City Council
will be defined by the City Council via the Council’s adoption of a formal Work Plan at least
once each year, but the Work Plan can be amended from time to time.
Return to the City Council in 90 days with a proposed Municipal Code change.
