At the end of the study session, the City Council requested monthly updates on the status of the 6th Cycle RHNA process. This update provides a summary of what has occurred since the last monthly update on February 18, 2020. Financial Impact: There is no fiscal impact. Recommended Action: Receive and file the monthly Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) process status update. Alternative Action(s): Provide alternative direction to staff. Analysis: On February 24, 2020, the SCAG RHNA Subcommittee recommended approval of the SCAG staff (and HCD approved) RHNA methodology to the Community, Economic, and Human Development Committee (CEHDC) and Regional Council. During the March 5, 2020 CEHD meeting, the discussion focused on an alternative RHNA methodology proposed by the City of Cerritos. This methodology would have resulted in 4,000 less RHNA unis for the City of Huntington Beach. After a lengthy discussion, there was a motion, seconded by Council Member Posey, to approve the Cerritos methodology and apply the residual units region-wide (rather than countywide), which would further reduce the City’s RHNA number. The motion narrowly failed on a tie vote. Another motion was then made to approve a recommendation to the Regional Council to continue action on the final RHNA methodology and direct SCAG staff to analyze a hybrid methodology, which would result in a lower RHNA number for Huntington Beach similar to the Cerritos methodology, and have another City of Huntington Beach Printed on 3/13/2020Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™65 File #:20-1470 MEETING DATE:3/16/2020 RHNA number for Huntington Beach similar to the Cerritos methodology, and have another discussion with HCD regarding the regional determination of 1.3 million units. The motion was approved with Mayor Semeta and Council Member Posey, who both serve on the CEHD, voting in support of the recommendation. Later that same day, during the Regional Council meeting, the SCAG staff recommended (and HCD approved) RHNA methodology was approved by a vote of 41-23. Mayor Lyn Semeta, representing Huntington Beach, voiced her objections to the flawed regional determination and methodology during the meeting and voted no on the item. The final approved methodology will result in a RHNA allocation of 13,337 units for the City of Huntington Beach. It is anticipated that the required 45-day appeal period will be April 10, 2020 through May 25, 2020. The City Attorney’s office has already retained expert consultants to assist the City with its appeal. Staff from the City Attorney’s office and Community Development Department will meet with them on March 10, 2020 to begin preparing the City’s appeal.

Mayor Semeta, Mayor Pro-Tem Hardy and Council Member Brenden participated in the meeting along with City staff. The first meeting provided an overview of the RHNA methodology and the RHNA appeals procedures for the City Council committee members. Now that the RHNA methodology has been finalized, the next meeting will focus on the City’s appeal strategy as well as legislative and legal options along with developing a plan for the 6th cycle Housing Element update. Environmental Status: The filing of a status update on the 6th Cycle RHNA process is not a project as defined by Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines and is not subject to CEQA.

Prince Statement of Issue: At the request of the Huntington Beach Police Department, Fallen Officer Recognition Project, the Community Services Commission approved the design concept, wording and placement of a bronze monument plaque and pedestal adjacent to the standard park identification sign at Prince Park in honor of the park’s namesake Fallen Officer Leslie J. Prince. There is a now a need for the City Council to review and approve the design concept, wording and placement of a bronze monument plaque and pedestal at Prince Park. Financial Impact: No public funds will be used. Funding for the plaque and monument base will be privately funded. Recommended Action: A) Approve the concept of placing a monument plaque and pedestal in Prince Park; and, B) Approve the proposed design concept and wording for the plaque as recommended by the Community Services Commission. Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the recommended actions and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: On April 6, 1979, Prince Park was dedicated and a wooden sign with attached monument plaques were erected to memorialize Fallen Huntington Beach Police Department Officer Leslie J. Prince who was killed in the line of duty on December 1, 1974. Over time, this wooden sign deteriorated beyond repair. On January 25, 2020, a new concrete standard park identification sign was erected in its place. City of Huntington Beach Printed on 3/13/2020Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™69 File #:20-1480 MEETING DATE:3/16/2020 Over the last year, the Huntington Beach Police Department has been recognizing its fallen police officers and fallen K-9s in several ways. It started with the installation of a Fallen Officer Street Sign at the location where each of the two Huntington Beach Police Department officers were killed. It culminated with a memorial at the Police Department front desk where a picture and story of each fallen officer was prominently placed in the front lobby. Every year on the anniversary of the fallen officer’s passing, the Department, its members, and the community, remember the sacrifice made by these valued employees. Members of the community, the family of Fallen Officer Leslie Prince, and the Police Department, would like to erect a small plaque which will display a photograph of Officer Prince and a narrative describing his service and sacrifice to the Huntington Beach community. The proposal is to have a steel framed pedestal, powder coated black, embedded in a small concrete footing between the newly erected Prince Park standard identification sign and the concrete sidewalk. Mounted to the angled portion of the pedestal, would be a 14 inch by 12 inch bronze plaque with an image of Officer Prince along with a narrative of his service and sacrifice as included in Attachment 1.

Hopkins, PE, Director of Public Works Subject: Adopt Resolution No. 2020-10 declaring Weeds and Rubbish a nuisance on specific properties and fixing April 20, 2020 at 6:00pm for hearing protests and objections to the abatement thereof Statement of Issue: In preparation for one-time abatement where necessary, Public Works annually identifies undeveloped land parcels in the city that have or will potentially accumulate weeds and/or rubbish. As the first step in the abatement process and following California code, the identified properties are declared by resolution to be a public nuisance. Financial Impact: No funding is required for this action. Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution No. 2020-10, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Finding and Declaring that Certain Weeds Growing in the City, and Rubbish and Refuse Deposited on Public Ways and Private Property are a Public Nuisance; and Fixing the Time for Hearing Protests and Objections to the Abatement Thereof.” Alternative Action(s): Do not adopt the resolution and direct staff to take a different course of action. Analysis: The California Government Code includes a provision allowing local governments to declare weeds and rubbish a public nuisance. Pursuant to this provision, the City of Huntington Beach has adopted Chapter 8.16 Weed Abatement into the Municipal Code. The chapter requires that “all persons owning any real property within the City keep said property free from weeds . . . or other flammable materials that endanger public safety by creating a fire hazard.” In accordance with Section 8.16.020 Nuisance Declared, the City Attorney’s office has prepared a resolution declaring that certain weeds, rubbish, and refuse deposited on specific properties are a public nuisance, with provisions for posting City of Huntington Beach Printed on 3/13/2020Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™92 File #:20-1429 MEETING DATE:3/16/2020 of notice and abatement of said nuisance. The resolution fixes April 20, 2020, at 6:00 p.m., as the date and time for the hearing of objections to the abatement of said nuisance. Exhibit A of the resolution identifies the privately owned, undeveloped properties that are currently or potentially in violation of the Municipal Code. Environmental Status: The removal of weeds, refuse, and rubbish from undeveloped private properties is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(h), which exempts the maintenance of existing landscaping and native growth.

Financial Impact: Adoption of the Resolution is a pre-requisite for receipt of an estimated $3,848,402 in SB 1 funding from the State, which will be deposited in the FY 2020/21 RMRA Fund 1247. Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution No. 2020-14, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Adopting a List of Projects for Fiscal Year 2020-21 Funded by SB:1 The Road Repair and Accountability Act.” Alternative Action(s): Do not approve and direct staff on how to proceed Analysis: Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in April 2017 in order to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide. Based on the City‘s population, it is estimated that the City will receive $3,848,402 in FY 2020/21 for the use on applicable street and transportation projects. A pre-requisite to the city receiving these funds is the submittal of a resolution to identify the proposed projects that will utilize this funding. The proposed Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget for FY 2020/21 identifies the use of these funds, in addition to other local funds, for the Arterial Rehabilitation Project. The streets proposed to be fully rehabilitated include: Atlanta Avenue (Delaware-Beach) City of Huntington Beach Printed on 3/13/2020Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™99 File #:20-1443 MEETING DATE:3/16/2020 Garfield Avenue (Main-Delaware) Newland Street (Ellis-Talbert) Talbert Avenue (Springdale-Edwards) Brookhurst Street (Garfield-Yorktown) Warner Avenue (Algonquin-Brightwater) Edinger Avenue (Saybrook-Countess) The City retains the ability to alter this list as long as the funds are spent on eligible projects. The infusion of these additional funds is expected to increase the overall pavement condition of the City’s streets over the next few years.

City Council action is requested to award the construction contract to MMC Inc., the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Financial Impact: Total funds for the project, including contingency and supplementals, is estimated at $4,942,476. Funds for the project are available in Sewer Development Fee Fund account 21089015.82600 ($2,462,476) and in Sewer Service Fund account 51189011.82600 ($880,000). Staff requests a $1,600,000 appropriation from the Sewer Service Fund (511). Recommended Action: A) Appropriate $1,600,000 from the Sewer Service Fund (511) to Account 51189011.82600; and, B) Accept the lowest responsive and responsible bid submitted by MMC Inc., in the amount of $3,958,750; and, C) Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a construction contract in a form approved by the City Attorney. Alternative Action(s): Reject all bids and provide staff with an alternative direction. Analysis: The existing Slater Sewer Lift Station, located at the Northwest corner of Slater Avenue and Springdale Street, was constructed in 1968 and is in need of replacement due to its age and insufficient wet well capacity. The issue concerning insufficient wet well capacity is problematic in two ways.

Financial Impact: There is no financial impact associated with releasing the RFP. Implementation of the pilot program as proposed would generate new revenues to the City's General Fund; however, since this is a new program, the amount is unknown at this time. Recommended Action: Authorize City staff to release a Request for Proposal (RFP) to permit up to three vendors to provide stand-up paddleboard/kayak lessons, rentals and tours out of 11th Street beach (up to two vendors) and 17th Street beach (one vendor) on a pilot basis. Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the recommended action and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: The City and Harbor Commission (Commission) have been made aware of unpermitted activity happening in City harbors and parks. As part of a review of this activity, the Commission’s Water Safety subcommittee (Subcommittee) has discussed numerous safety and impaction concerns regarding unpermitted instruction and rentals. From a regulatory perspective, the City’s Municipal Code is very clear on commercial operations within Huntington Harbour waters and public parks stating that a permit is required for any commercial operation.

No person shall give, set up or maintain any exhibition, show, performance, concert, lecture, entertainment or similar activity without written permission to do so from the director. No person shall for profit offer sports camps, sports lessons or other similar activity on park property without the written permission of the director.

Historically, the City has not had a formal comprehensive process for the issuance of permits to allow for private commercial business operation in harbor waters and beaches. The objective of the RFP would be to identify and issue permits on a pilot basis to qualified businesses interested in operating SUP/kayak lessons, rentals and tours in the harbor waters and beaches, while fairly and safely allocating limited public beach and park space. Subsequent to the RFP process, special permits with substantive operating regulations, in addition to Commercial Activity Permits pursuant to Municipal Code 13.32.040, would be issued to as many as three business/organizations for a pilot period of twelve months. The sales percentage/payment terms to be paid to the City as one of the selected permittees would be negotiated through the RFP process as part of an Independent Contactor Agreement. Permittees would be required to work directly with City staff and remain within the scope of services outlined in the RFP. During the twelve-month pilot period, the Subcommittee would continue to meet and evaluate the ongoing permitted use of City beaches and parks for SUP/kayak lessons, rentals and tours in the harbor waters and beaches, and ultimately return to the Commission with formal, long-term recommendations based upon findings. The Commission and staff believe that this methodology provides a middle-ground approach, allowing businesses to provide services, while allowing the Subcommittee, staff and Commission to effectively evaluate SUP/kayak lessons, rentals and tours in the harbor water and beaches before long-term permitting decisions/processes are recommended. At the January 23, 2020 Commission meeting, staff reported on the current activity on park/beach space for residents and passive recreation use. A listing of the pros, cons and potential impacts these activities would have within the six public parks with beach access: ·Seabridge ·Trinidad ·Humboldt ·Davenport ·11th Street ·17th Street th th City of Huntington Beach Printed on 3/13/2020Page 2 of 3 powered by Legistar™107 File #:20-1479 MEETING DATE:3/16/2020 Based on discussion, Commission proposed to use 11th Street and 17th Street beaches as the pilot program. Historically, there has been activity at these locations, and they have ample beach space and would have less impact on the residents. Only those businesses selected through the RFP process would be permitted for such activity during the pilot program. Permits for SUP/ kayak lessons, rentals and tours would not be permitted at any other harbor beaches unless recommended by Commission and approved by City Council. At the February 27, 2020 Harbor Commission meeting, the Commission recommended for City Council to approve staff to conduct a Request for Proposal (RFP) to permit up to three vendors to offer tours, lessons and rentals out of 11th Street and 17th Street beaches.

(Siemens) includes a provision for up to 2, 1-year contract extensions with mutual agreement by both parties. Siemens has indicated that in order to extend their maintenance services, they request an increase to certain components of their standard maintenance rates. Siemens bases their requested increase on data from the previous 3 years of Consumer Price Index (CPI). Financial Impact: The recommended action would result in an additional expenditure of approximately $15,500 through the end of the 1 year extension (11 months). The rate increase can be accommodated within the Public Works Department’s current budget for street light maintenance services through the end of FY2019/20 and the additional funds will be reflected in the proposed FY2020/21 budget in General Fund business unit 10085304. The total authorized expenditures under the existing contract are sufficient and do not require amendment. Recommended Action: Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute “Amendment to Service Agreement Between the City of Huntington Beach and Siemens Mobility Inc., for Streetlight Transfer, Retrofit, and Maintenance Service” approved as to form by the City Attorney, dated March 6, 2017, increasing Compensation for all standard maintenance and extraordinary maintenance tasks identified in Exhibit B by 9%, which reflects partial Consumer Price Index adjustment since March 2017. Alternative Action(s): Do not authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the amendment. City of Huntington Beach Printed on 3/13/2020Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™112 File #:20-1474 MEETING DATE:3/16/2020 Analysis: Since March of 2017, Siemens has been under contract with the City to provide services related to our acquisition of 10,800 streetlights from Southern California Edison (SCE), including the on-going routine and extraordinary maintenance of the streetlights. The acquisition portion of the contract is still active as SCE rectifies the final sales data through their “true up” process. Siemens continues to have an active role in this effort as part of their original scope for acquisition of the lights. Concurrent with the acquisition effort, Siemens has been providing maintenance services for all of the streetlights acquired from SCE. The initial term of the contract is 3 years and with an additional option of 2, 1- year extensions by mutual agreement by Siemens and the City. Siemens has submitted a letter of interest to exercise the first 1-year extension of the contract through March 2021 if the City agrees to an increase to the standard rates for maintenance services based on the a partial 3-year CPI adjustment dating back to the beginning of the contract. The requested rate is based on the information from the U.S. Department of Labor statistics for the Los Angeles-Long Beach- Anaheim area (actual data for January 2018 - January 2020 = 9.8%), Siemens is requesting 9%. Staff supports the requested 1-year extension of the contract with the requested CPI increase to allow for continued uninterrupted maintenance services and to allow Siemens to complete the services identified in the acquisition phase of the contract. The adjusted rates reflect an appropriate cost index and will guard against the City using an unknown company to provide maintenance services if Siemens is no longer providing the service..

(SMI) is pleased to submit this letter of interest to continue providing the services offered under the current Services Agreement Between the City of Huntington Beach and Siemens Mobility, Inc. for the Streetlight Transfer, Retrofit and Maintenance Services Contract for an additional one-year term. The City of Huntington Beach and SMI entered into a contract for streetlight maintenance services on March 6, 2017. This contract included a term of three (3) years with “two (2) one- year extensions to benefit the Services if mutually agreed to in writing by City and Contractor” (referenced in the contract, Section 4. Term). As part of this extension of services, SMI is requesting an increase of service rates, based on the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index (CPI) rates for the Los Angeles area. This request is intended to compensate Siemens Mobility, Inc. for the increased costs for materials and labor for services provided to the City of Huntington Beach. SMI has not received a CPI increase during the duration of the contract, where typically our service rates increase 3% year over year. At this time, SMI is requesting a 9.0% CPI increase to the existing contract rates from the inception of the contract. We are committed to providing the exceptional service that you have come to expect and look forward to another successful year partnering with the City of Huntington Beach.

Based on the draft plan, and if the City Council would like to proceed with creating a City directed Art in Public Places program, it will be necessary for the City Council to authorize development of a sustainable funding source for the initiative, likely through the creation of a new development impact fee. In addition, given that the City has accrued around $317,000 in the Public Art in Parks Fund 236, it is recommended that two City Council members be identified to liaison with staff to create an ad hoc Art in Public Places Committee. The ad hoc Art in Public Places Committee would then be tasked with working with staff to develop policies and procedures for the use of Public Art in Parks funds. Financial Impact: There is currently approximately $317,000 in the Public Art in Parks Fund 236. While there is no recommendation for appropriation at this time, if the Recommended Actions as listed below are approved, a future request for appropriation of all or part of this amount would be forthcoming following the efforts of the Art in Public Places Committee recommendations. Recommended Action: A) Appoint two City Council liaisons to work with staff to establish an ad hoc Art in Public Places Committee in order to develop policies and procedures for the use of currently available Public Art in Parks funds; and, B) Direct staff to develop an Art in Public Places Ordinance in support of a Public Art Master Plan, establishing an in lieu fee option for certain development projects which would fund future public art projects. City of Huntington Beach Printed on 3/13/2020Page 1 of 4 powered by Legistar™194 File #:20-1481 MEETING DATE:3/16/2020 Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the recommended actions and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: In April of 2018, City Council approved to direct the City Manager to: 1. Prepare a proposal for the creation of a comprehensive public art program. The program should acknowledge the Community Development Department’s existing program and expand it to consider other public art opportunities. 2. Research best practices for funding options for a comprehensive public art program and present options for consideration. 3. Review and make recommendations regarding the composition and mission of existing Boards and Commissions, including the Allied Arts Board, and their potential role in the future with respect to a new comprehensive art program or related to our current program process. Consequently, a Public Art Task Force was established, comprised of members of the former Allied Arts Board, various City department staff, and representatives from Visit Huntington Beach. On August 6, 2018, the Task Force presented a Public Art Master Plan Proposal which included five goals: 1. Create a Public Art Master Plan to include art installations in private and public spaces. 2. Reflect the community’s identity and values, brand personality, and unique sense of place in the plan, periodic calls for projects, as well as maintenance of current and future works in the City collection. 3. Lead the planning process with best practices for public place-making, a cultural tourism development emphasis, and community quality of life enhancement focus. 4. Integrate the plan with existing City public and private sector planning, infrastructure and initiatives as feasible. 5. Establish a funding source that will allow for periodic calls for projects, as well as maintenance of current and future works in the City collection. At that time, staff recommended the engagement of an outside consultant to assist with finalizing the Public Art Master Plan, incorporating these goals and including community engagement. A phased approach was also suggested, with early emphasis on policies and procedures needed to address immediate needs such as a process to utilize restricted funding specifically for art in City parks. City of Huntington Beach Printed on 3/13/2020Page 2 of 4 powered by Legistar™195 File #:20-1481 MEETING DATE:3/16/2020 A Request for Proposals was conducted, securing the services of an outside consultant, RRM. Staff and RRM have worked closely to conduct a public engagement process, which included focus group interviews that involved participants from the Public Art Task Force, various arts related organizations in our Community, educators in the arts from our local high schools and Golden West College, the business and development community and other community leaders. Additionally, a citywide survey was conducted garnering 555 responses that provided a great deal of data related to how our community views our current public art and future programs. RRM also performed in-depth research regarding best practices throughout various cities, both statewide and nationally, and combined that information with our current Community Development Public Art Program to develop an initial Public Art Master Plan draft (Attachment). In order to finalize the plan and move forward, staff is now seeking City Council approval in two key areas: 1.Development of an Ad Hoc Art in Public Places Committee: Staff is recommending the City Council appointment of two Council liaisons who will work with staff to create a working Ad Hoc Committee that would consider community input already gathered to develop policies, procedures, and potential locations to conduct a call for artist/projects within City parks. There is currently approximately $317,000 in the Public Art in Places Fund, which is restricted to public art projects in City parks. The committee would provide guidance regarding size, scope, type, and potential number of projects based on available funds and public input already provided through the Master Plan development. If approved, the goal would be to appropriate funds for project(s) to be commissioned and constructed in FY 2020/21. Following completion of this goal, any future need for this committee would be based on whether or not a sustainable funding source is approved by City Council. 2.Public Art Funding Source: In order to create a City directed Art in Public Places program, a sustainable funding source will need to be established. Without a funding mechanism, the City would lack the resources needed to facilitate periodic calls for art projects in public spaces and places. Based on research conducted by RRM, as well as the work conducted by the Public Art Task Force, along with discussions at the staff level, the recommended prescribed approach to fund a formal Art in Public Places Program involves the following items: a. Art in Public Places Ordinance: Most cities who have a public art program adopt an ordinance that requires development projects to install permanent outdoor, publicly accessible art at the project site, or contribute Public Art Allocation funds in lieu of installing artwork on site. Research on best practices shows a variety of exemptions, incentives, and project minimums/caps that could be incorporated into such an ordinance should the City Council chose to proceed in this manner. Further, the ordinance could be structured in a way that motivates developers to pay the in lieu fee versus install art at the project site which would help build this funding source. City of Huntington Beach Printed on 3/13/2020Page 3 of 4 powered by Legistar™196 File #:20-1481 MEETING DATE:3/16/2020 b. If the Council were to consider adopting an Art in Public Places Ordinance and create an in-lieu fee as part of the program, it would be important to consider the cumulative fee load to be assessed on new development. As part of the Ordinance creation, staff will explore the concept of creating a structure whereby the institution of the in-lieu fee would be a net-neutral cost for development interests by reducing the Park Development Impact Fee in an amount corresponding to the Art in Public Places in-lieu fee. If City Council directs staff move forward with establishing a sustainable funding source for the Art in Public Places program, as outlined above, staff would initiate an extensive process that includes the following project components: §Seek further input on technical details related to the in-lieu fee from the development community §Conduct an in-depth analysis of past development history to project future fee amounts §Undertake a new comprehensive Nexus study to validate the art in-lieu fee options §Assess how the new art in-lieu fee impacts our current Community Development policies, procedures, and codes related to public art based on each option. Environmental Status: Neither the creation of an ad hoc committee nor receiving direction to start drafting an Art in Public Places ordinance is a project as defined by Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines and therefore neither action is subject to CEQA.

Public Art Art enriches our urban landscape by engaging the mind, eye and spirit of the observer. A deeper interaction occurs when one is visiting, working, or living near a place with art. Art revitalizes our public spaces and make them seem more welcoming. It enhances private and public developments and contributes to a more livable and beautiful city. The City of Huntington Beach embraces public art. This chapter provides guidance for the inclusion and processing of public art proposals. Public art benefits the community in a variety of ways: • Contributes to the enhancement of a cityscape, creates a sense of place, or improves the design qualities of public infrastructure. • Fosters collective memory and gives meaning to place by recalling local and regional history. • Enlivens public space by creating a sense of serendipity and discovery. • Promotes local urban and economic development by creating landmarks, directional elements, and defining neighborhoods and districts. • Gives visual expression to local cultural diversity. • Creates a sense of community identity through unique functional elements such as bus shelters, tree grates, seating elements, paving patterns, parking garages, etc. Public art differs from studio art or art exhibited in museums and galleries. Public art is free and accessible and open to the public, it typically reflects an awareness of its site, both physically and socially, and, most importantly, public art involves community process in its creation. A wide variety of approaches emphasize integrating artwork into the built environment, others emphasize placing artwork in a plaza or on a wall, and still others involve the creation of temporary works in community settings.

Purpose The Public Art Master Plan was initiated in order to examine the means of strengthening the existing Public Art Program, and the feasibility of establishing a program with broader applicability. While recognizing the significance of a vibrant arts and culture scene and integrating it into the city’s overall development, the purpose of the Public Art Master Plan is to guide the process for public art within the City. It reflects Huntington Beach’s community identity and values, brand personality, and unique sense of place It provides a framework to enhance public places and spaces through equitable distributions of permanent art installations and related programs that foster the community’s sense of place. It also embraces Huntington Beach’s cultural identity through intentional innovation, human creativity and establishment of a network of quality-oriented, sustainable works of art in public and public-facing spaces throughout the city. This Plan provides guidance and direction for the City’s public arts program and establishes a solid foundation for future public art investment through a unique funding mechanism. Lastly, it paves the way toward improvements in economic development opportunities, quality of life, and continued revitalization of the City. “Bike Rack” - Louisville, KY Chapter 1: IntroductionPage 2 City of Huntington Beach Public Art Master Plan Screencheck Draft | February 2020 207 Having a comprehensive and detailed Public Art Master Plan will invigorate and enhance community- wide identity and advocacy while practicing equitable distribution of public art and cultural installations. The audience of the Public Art Master Plan is: • The City of Huntington Beach – various internal departments: • Non-Profit, community, arts and culture organizations located within the City and greater Orange County, California area • Visit Huntington Beach • City of Huntington Beach residents, visitors and business community. • Business and developers who seek to invest in art projects and programs. • Local and regional artists and performers Finally, the Plan includes direction on the administration and organization of the Public Art Program. It presents a means of clarifying the program’s processes. The planning process involved extensive discussions regarding the feasibility of establishing various funding mechanisms. The Plan contains policies and guidelines for the City’s Public Art Program, outlining the future administration of the program in order to fulfill the steps recommended in the report. “Poets Table” - Pier Plaza, Huntington Beach, CA Chapter 1: Introduction Page 3 City of Huntington Beach Public Art Master Plan Screencheck Draft | February 2020208 3. Community Engagement Community engagement was a critical component of the Plan. Input received informed key aspects of the Plan, including the goals of the Plan, types and locations of public art, and type of public art ordinance. The primary method of community engagement was an online survey available throughout the initial planning process. Over 516 people responded to the survey, 93% of whom were residents of Huntington Beach. The survey included questions about existing public art, desired types of art, desired role of public art in the city, topics or themes, and locations for public art. The pie chart graphs shown are summaries of results from survey questions. 2. How this Plan Relates to City Documents and Procedures The Plan guides the selection and administration of public art throughout the City of Huntington Beach. This Plan is in alignment with other City planning documents that discuss the topic of public art including the Urban Design Element and the Historic and Cultural Resources Element of the General Plan as well as any related Specific Plan.

Vision Statement The City of Huntington Beach seeks to establish its presence as a destination for iconic art. Huntington Beach’s public art will represent what is unique and essential to the city of Huntington Beach. It will honor local artists while attracting a national audience. The public art program in Huntington Beach will emphasize pride in the community, diversity, and the natural beauty of Huntington Beach. Above all, public art will be unifying and accessible. 5. Public Art Objectives The following objectives should be considered in developing and selecting public art: Ensure visibility Public art is a non-commercial visual artistic expression intended and able to be viewed from public property or areas on private property which are visible from public areas. Reinforce identity Utilize public art to reinforce the identity of Huntington Beach, including the culture, natural environment, and distinct neighborhoods. Encourage walking as a form of transit and artistic discovery Employ public art to promote a more walkable city. Collaborate early and often Development projects that include art should integrate artists with the design team early in the process. Artists should have the opportunity to work collaboratively with architects, landscape architects, and building and site designers to ensure an art project that is cohesive and complementary of the site and development. Left: “Duke Kahanamoku” - Huntington Beach, CA Chapter 1: IntroductionPage 6 City of Huntington Beach Public Art Master Plan Screencheck Draft | February 2020 211 Engage the community The community should have the opportunity to provide input on public art projects. The type and level of engagement will vary depending on potential project location, size, and visibility. For example, projects integrated in a small neighborhood in the city should focus its public outreach to that neighborhood, whereas a large gateway project should extend opportunity for the community at large. City staff should ascertain methods of engagement and ensure the adequate level of public outreach. Utilize public art for revitalization Empty storefronts, unlandscaped medians, large blank walls, parking garages, underpasses, and other “forgotten” space should be strongly considered for public art projects. Be consistent Ensure relevant adopted planning documents have been consulted. Consider functionality Where appropriate, public art can satisfy civic need in an artistic manner. For example, bicycle racks and lockers, benches, and lighting can be viewed as public art. Consider the message Public art can be a valuable tool for telling stories meaningful to the community. Ensure that the meaning or message behind a potential public art project is appropriate for the given location. Collaboration and inclusion Encourage the inclusion of artists proficient in the visual arts in the project design team. Foster collaboration among artists, architects, landscape architects and engineers to fully integrate artworks within development proposals. Enhance the city’s visual image Intensify the use and strengthen the role of public art to enhance the visual image of Huntington Beach; facilitate the use of public art in the design of private and public development proposals. Right: “Steel Light Wave” - Huntington Beach, CA Chapter 1: Introduction Page 7 City of Huntington Beach Public Art Master Plan Screencheck Draft | February 2020212 Page 8 Chapter 2: Achieving the VisionCity of Huntington Beach Public Art Master Plan Screencheck Draft | February 2020 213 A. Art Typologies Public art is different from studio art or art exhibited in museums and galleries. Public art is accessible to the public, it typically reflects an awareness of its site, both physically and socially, and, most importantly, public art involves community process in its creation. A wide variety of approaches to public art are possible. Some approaches emphasize integrating artwork into the built environment, others emphasize placing artwork in a plaza or on a wall, and still others involve the creation of temporary works in community settings. 1. Permanent Art Installations Permanent artwork will be installed in prominent or meaningful locations throughout Huntington Beach. Large pieces may well-serve parks and public spaces, gateways, focal points along corridors, and gathering places. Smaller pieces can enliven schools, municipal buildings, neighborhoods and pedestrian connections. Permanent installations include all public art pieces that are fixed indefinitely and can range from sculptures to decorative seating, and from murals to other functional amenities. Material selection is an important element of permanent art installations, as they should be highly durable and easily maintained. 2. Approaches to Public Art Depending on the needs of the Huntington Beach community, one or a combination of the following approaches may be taken: Discrete object The traditional approach of placing stand-alone sculptures, murals, or other artworks in public buildings, plazas, parks, etc., as a means to beautify and humanize the environment. Integration of public art and architecture A multi- disciplinary design team approach wherein artists work on project teams with architects, engineers, landscape architects and other design professionals to design and create public projects, such as transit systems or waste water treatment facilities to achieve the highest aesthetic innovation. This approach may also result in artist-designed functional elements that are integrated into the project such as flooring, furniture, light fixtures, fencing, tree grates, etc. Urban design/place-making Artwork projects that contribute to the enhancement of a cityscape, create a sense of place, or improve the design qualities of public infrastructure. Artist-designed freeway enhancements, bridges or parks are examples of such projects.

Temporary Art Installations Temporary art installations are an exciting category for public art in Huntington Beach. Temporary art installations can be an effective tool for enlivening a site and creating a dynamic feel to an area. These art installations can vary greatly in nature from pop-up sculptures or structures to video, film, or performing arts. Temporary installations provide great flexibility to artists to utilize materials that may not otherwise withstand the test of time or are only appropriate during certain seasons. Additionally, temporary art installations may be utilized when the subject matter is appropriate on a short-term basis, such as a reaction to a cultural event. 4. Interactive Artworks Interactive art is art that involves an observer. This may be through allowing the observer to touch, enter, or sit in an artwork, such as in large sculptural pieces. Other types of interactive art include art that responds to an observer’s participation, such as in a touch-responsive light wall or a piece of art that creates music. Interactive artworks are powerful pieces for engaging the community, especially those who may not otherwise be interested in public art.

Light and Media-Based Art Light and media-based art involve any type of technology-based art including projected or static lights, digital or video art, kinetic art, and many more. This art typology can be an exciting contribution to public art in Huntington Beach. It can be temporary or permanent and is suitable at a variety of locations depending on the type of technology used. Consideration should be given to the materials used and their durability in the given environment. “Sensorio” Light Installation, Paso Robles, CA “Sensorio” Light Installation, Paso Robles, CA Chapter 2: Achieving the Vision Page 11 City of Huntington Beach Public Art Master Plan Screencheck Draft | February 2020216 8. Curatorial Framework Curation is the process of collecting and organizing art pieces, therefore, this framework should serve as a guide for selecting public art projects. When selecting future public art pieces, the following considerations should be evaluated: Emphasize time and place; art should consider the past, present, and future of Huntington Beach. Consider aspects that make Huntington Beach unique, including its beautiful shoreline, wetlands and beaches. Promote positive values, including connection, diversity, education, family, and safety. Provide an opportunity for telling meaningful stories; promote mutual understanding. Showcase the talent and creativity of Huntington Beach by focusing on local artists, while employing visiting artists where appropriate. Promote master planning; work with other design professionals, policy makers and community groups to identify specific opportunities for the integration of various forms of art within a specific project or urban context, such as transit systems, neighborhood redevelopment districts, airports, parks and civic plazas. In order to help achieve this vision, the City encourages artists working in communities to create public art projects that respond to the reality and integrity of those communities (e.g. artists working in social institutions, prisons, homeless shelters, with the elderly and youth).

These preferred locations have been identified through community engagement, including numerous discussions about where public art projects would be most effective, and the types of art that would be appropriate for each location. These locations offer a strategy for the City to identify and prioritize projects. The preferred locations approach may cluster or provide coherency to groupings of art pieces. The purpose of identifying preferred locations is to provide focus as well as flexibility. The following list is specific in the types of locations, while being open- ended enough to allow for a variety of projects to emerge over time. This provides flexibility for creative invention and collaborations amongst organizations, allows for work in various media, and enables the creative community to be responsive to opportunities as they arise. • Parks - Currently 78! • Beachfront - Pathways, bikeways, marina/harbor, pier, Dog Beach, Sunset Beach, sea walls • Corridors - PCH-Pacific Coast Highway, Slater Ave • Gateways - PCH, Anderson St, North Pacific Ave • Municipal Facilities • Shopping Centers/Malls - Bella Terra, 5 Points Plaza, Newland Center • Schools/Educational Facilities - Golden West College, HBAPA “I Amsterdam” - Amsterdam, Netherlands Chapter 2: Achieving the Vision Page 15 City of Huntington Beach Public Art Master Plan Screencheck Draft | February 2020220 4.

City of Huntington Beach Printed on 3/13/2020Page 1 of 1 powered by Legistar™233 Dept. ID FD20-005 Page 1 of 3 Meeting Date: 3/16/2020 Statement of Issue: The Federal Government has communicated that the time for trying to contain the COVID-19 virus (also referred to as the Coronavirus) has passed, and that our efforts now should be directed towards mitigating transmission of the disease. Of note, the mitigation effort are important because large scale transmission of the coronavirus among the populations most vulnerable to COVID-19 (the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions) could overtax and overrun our health care system. Given the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 situation, there are no currently developed plans or best practices to help guide the overall policy response. In an effort to ensure that we are HB Ready in Surf City to address the evolving pandemic, City staff has developed a proposed COVID-19 Response Plan framework for City Council consideration. This policy document, shown as Attachment 1, is recommended for approval to guide our activities in the coming weeks and months. Financial Impact: Staff has been closely monitoring and tracking the fiscal impacts associated with the COVID-19 situation. Previously, we had been projecting that the City would end FY 2019/20 with a $4.7 million surplus. However, given the dramatic economic impacts we’ve seen in response to the coronavirus situation, we’ve been consistently updating our fiscal projections. Based on the most recent information available, we are projecting a significant decrease in TOT revenues, along with modest reductions in Sales Tax and Charges for Services.  Transient Occupancy Tax Decrease – $2.5 - $3.0 Million  Sales Tax / Charges for Service Decrease – $1.0 - $1.5 Million  TOTAL PROJECTED REVENUE DECREASE: $3.5 - $4.5 Million At the staff level, we are still working to refine our estimates, and will have more detailed projections available within the next month. However, at this point in time, based on worst-case scenario projections, we do anticipate being able to finish FY 2019/20 with a balanced budget. To help facilitate that reality, we are currently developing financial response measures, the most significant of which involves holding non-essential vacant positions open (there are currently 65.5 vacant FTE positions in the City). This will be an important measure, especially given the lack of clarity as it relates to the current state of our economy. CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH REQUEST FOR. CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 3/16/2020 SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members SUBMITTED BY: Oliver Chi, City Manager PREPARED BY: Scott M. Haberle, Fire Chief SUBJECT: Request for Approval of COVID-19 Response Plan 234 Dept. ID FD20-005 Page 2 of 3 Meeting Date: 3/16/2020 Recommended Action: Approve the attached COVID-19 Response Plan to minimize the risk of transmission of this virus. Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the COVID-19 Response Plan and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic. A pandemic is a disease that is spreading in multiple countries around the world at the same time. They also called on governments to take urgent and aggressive action to suppress and control the spread of this disease. The federal government has also determined that the time for containment of this virus is past, and an emphasis must now be place on mitigating the transmission of the disease. The mitigation effort is critical because large scale transmission of COVID-19 among the populations at risk to this virus could overtax and overrun our existing health care system. The vulnerable population includes the elderly and those whose health is compromised. In order to decrease the prevalence of this disease across California, the State has issued new guidance, directing Californians to implement aggressive strategies to address the current situation. On March 2, 2020, the Orange County Board of Supervisors adopted an emergency declaration and heightened training of health care providers and first responders as they prepare for a potential increase of COVID-19 patients. Given the unprecedented and evolving nature of the current situation, City staff have developed a local COVID-19 Response Plan. It includes three phases, with detailed response protocols in each stage. A summary of the plan includes:  Phase I Response – Preparedness o Threshold for enacting Phase I response  The County of Orange declares a local state of emergency in the county o Key Phase I response protocols  Activate the City Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to Level III  Implement cleaning/sanitation/safety protocols at all City facilities  Increase public education and outreach efforts, especially to the most vulnerable, high-risk communities  Establish and deploy a public information strategy  Review, develop, and update plans to account for reduction in available City personnel  Cancel all large gatherings/events that involve more than 250 people  For parts of the organization that serve high-risk populations, cancel any gathering/event/program that gathers more than 10 people 235 Dept. ID FD20-005 Page 3 of 3 Meeting Date: 3/16/2020  Phase II Response – Minimal to Moderate Community Transmission o Threshold for enacting Phase II response  Federal, State, or County governments change in declaration  Community transition of COVID-19 in Orange County o Key Phase II response protocols  All Phase I protocols stay in place  City Council declares a local emergency  Activate EOC to Level II, establish unified command  Close all non-essential recreational City services  No City special events with more than 50 people  Phase III Response – Substantial Community Transmission o Threshold for enacting Phase III response  Increased community transmission in Orange County  Community transmission cases in Huntington Beach o Key Phase III response protocols  All Phase I & II protocols stay in place  Activate EOC to Level I  Close all non-essential City facilities. The Police Department, Fire Department, Water, Sewer, and certain backend functions in the Finance Department, Information Systems and Administration would be operational  Cancel all contract classes and close all recreational centers  Cancel all City Council, commission, and community support meetings Based on the pace of the current situation, City staff has identified and implemented the majority of the protocols in the Phase I Response described above. The COVID-19 situation is quickly changing and updates will be provided moving ahead. City Council approval of the COVID-19 Response Plan is requested. Environmental Status: None. Strategic Plan Goal: Enhance and modernize public safety service delivery. Attachment(s): 1.
