REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Oliver Chi, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Dahle Bulosan, Chief Financial Officer
Subject:
Request for approval to suspend Water Shutoffs to Residential and Business Customers in
Response to COVID-19 by adopting Resolution No. 2020-17
Statement of Issue:
In response to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, formal City Council approval is
requested to authorize the temporary suspension of water shutoffs, penalties and/or late fees to
residential and business customers until May 31, 2020, unless extended by the Governor’s orders,
and to authorize staff to develop a no-interest payment deferral option for customers financially
impacted by the COVID-19 situation.
Financial Impact:
While it is difficult to precisely estimate the revenue impact from a temporary suspension of water
shutoffs for residential and business customers until May 31, 2020,initial analysis conducted by staff
indicates a probable 10% delinquency rate, which would result in a $322,500 financial impact on
various funds - Water Fund ($259,500), Water Master Plan ($4,000), Sewer Fund ($14,000), Refuse
Fund ($30,000), and General Fund ($15,000). Of note, the utility bills less late fees are still
considered an obligation that will need to be paid over time, and customers who request a payment
deferral plan will be allowed a no-interest repayment plan that lasts up to two (2) years.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution 2020-17, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Establishing City Policy on Termination of Residential and Business Water Service in Response to
COVID-19.”
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the recommended action and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The City of Huntington Beach (City) provides water service to over 45,000 single-family residential
customers, 4,600 multi-family residential customers, and 2,600 business customers in compliance to

Chapter 14.12 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused tremendous impacts to the global and local economy. In
response, Governor Gavin Newsom on March 16, 2020, issued an executive order (see Attachment
2) to protect renters and homeowners during this crisis. Many Californians are experiencing a
substantial loss of hours or wages, as well as layoffs, related to COVID-19, impacting their ability to
keep up with their rents, mortgages, and utility bills. The Governor’s order authorizes local
governments to protect Californians affected by COVID-19 by suspending utility shutoffs to May 31,
2020, unless extended.
The Governor’s order also requested that the California Utilities Commission monitor measures
undertaken by public and private utility providers to implement customer service protections for
critical utilities, including electric, gas, water, internet, landline telephone, and cell phone service on a
weekly basis. The Governor strongly encouraged cities and counties to take up this authority to
protect Californians. Although the order does not relieve the obligation to pay the utility bill or restrict
the City from recovering the amount due, it allows Californians temporary financial relief during these
difficult times.
In order to comply with the Governor’s order, staff recommends that Council approve a policy to
suspend water shutoffs and waive late fees to residential and business customers in response to
COVID-19 until May 31, 2020, unless extended by the Governor’s orders. This policy may also be
extended by the City Manager if the COVID-19 pandemic or its effects go past May 31, 2020. In no
event will this policy extend beyond August 31, 2020, without approval of City Council. After the
temporary suspension of water shutoffs is over, the City will provide reasonable no-interest
repayment arrangement options for the customer for a period not to exceed two years. Obligations
incurred subsequent to May 31, 2020, or the Governor’s extended date will not be eligible for a
payment plan unless subject to the City Policy on Termination of Residential Water Service
Resolution 2019-88 (Attachment 3).

California, in accordance with the authority vested in me by the State
Constitution and statutes of the State of California, and in particular,
Government Code sections 8567 and 8571, do hereby issue the following
order to become effective immediately:
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
l) The time limitation set forth in Penal Code section 396, subdivision
(f), concerning protections against residential eviction, is hereby
waived. Those protections shall be in effect through May 31, 2020.
2) Any provision of state law that would preempt or otherwise restrict a
local government's exercise of its police power to impose
substantive limitations on residential or commercial evictions as
described in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) below-including, but not
limited to, any such provision of Civil Code sections 1940 et seq. or
1954.25 et seq.-is hereby suspended to the extent that it would
preempt or otherwise restrict such exercise. This paragraph 2 shall
only apply to the imposition of limitations on evictions when:
(i) The basis for the eviction is nonpayment of rent, or a
foreclosure, arising out of a substantial decrease in
household or business income (including, but not
limited to, a substantial decrease in household
income caused by layoffs or a reduction in the
number of compensable hours of work, or a
substantial decrease in business income caused by
a reduction in opening hours or consumer demand),
or substantial out-of-pocket medical expenses; and
(ii) The decrease in household or business income or
the out-of-pocket medical expenses described in
subparagraph (i) was caused by the COVID-19
pandemic, or by any local , state, or federal
government response to COVID-19, and is
documented.
The statutory cause of action for judicial foreclosure, Code of Civil
Procedure section 725a et seq.; the statutory cause of action for
unlawful detainer, Code of Civil Procedure section 1161 et seq., and
any other statutory cause of action that could be used to evict or
otherwise eject a residential or commercial tenant or occupant of
residential real property after foreclosure is suspended only as
applied to any tenancy, or residential real property and any
11
occupation thereof, to which a local government has imposed a
limitation on eviction pursuant to this paragraph 2, and only to the
extent of the limitation imposed by the local government.
Nothing in this Order shall relieve a tenant of the obligation to pay
rent, nor restrict a landlord's ability to recover rent due.
The protections in this paragraph 2 shall be in effect through May
31, 2020, unless extended.
3) All public housing authorities are requested to extend deadlines for
housing assistance recipients or applicants to deliver records or
documents related to their eligibility for programs, to the extent that
those deadlines are within the discretion of the housing authority.
4) The Department of Business Oversight, in consultation with the
Business , Consumer Services, and Housing Agency, shall engage
with financial institutions to identify tools to be used to afford
Californians relief from the threat of residential foreclosure and
displacement, and to otherwise promote housing security and
stability during this state of emergency, in furtherance of the
objectives of this Order.
5) Financial institutions holding home or commercial mortgages,
including banks, credit unions, government-sponsored enterprises,
and institutional investors, are requested to implement an
immediate moratorium on foreclosures and related evictions when
the foreclosure or foreclosure-related eviction arises out of a
substantial decrease in household or business income, or substantial
out-of-pocket medical expenses, which were caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic, or by any local, state, or federal government
response to COVID-19 .
6) The California Public Utilities Commission is requested to monitor
measures undertaken by public and private utility providers to

but not limited to electric, gas, water, internet, landline telephone,
and cell phone service, in response to COVID-19, and on a weekly
basis publicly report these measures .
Nothing in this Order shall be construed to invalidate a ny limitation
on eviction enacted by a local jurisdiction between March 4, 2020 and
this date.
Nothing in this Order shall in any way restrict state or local authority
to order any quarantine, isolation, or other public health measure that
may compel an individual to remain physically present in a particular
residential real property.

benefits, substantiv e or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity,
against the State of California , its agencies, departments, entities, officers ,
employees, or any other person.
12
I FURTHER DIRECT that as soon as hereafter possible, this
proclamation be filed in the Office of the Secretary of State and that
widespread publicity and notice be given of this Order.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have
hereunto set my hand and caused

SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Oliver Chi, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Ursula Luna-Reynosa, Director of Community Development
Subject:
Rent Abatement for certain tenants at City-owned facilities
Statement of Issue:
The City owns real property throughout the City and has leased certain premises to tenants. Many of
the City’s tenants have been gravely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The City Council is asked
to authorize and direct the City Manager and/or his designee to implement rent abatement for certain
tenants at City-owned facilities to mitigate some of the financial burden imposed due to the COVID-
19 pandemic.
Financial Impact:
The total estimated impact to the General Fund Revenue for Rent Abatement is $155,077 for the
month of March, $170,947 for April, and $174,296 per month for May and every month thereafter.
The overall Rent Abatement cost impacts include the following:
§Rent abatement for Ocean View Estates Mobile Home Park account 10000100.43166 is
$53,352 per month.
§Rent abatement for concessionaire lease accounts (10000100.43165; 10000100.43085;
10000100.43095; 10000100.43145; 10000100.43150; 10000100.43155) range from $101,725
to $120,944 per month, depending on time of year.
Recommended Action:
Authorize and direct the City Manager and/or his designee to implement rent abatement to
concessionaire tenants of various City-owned facilities,effective from the date of the issuance of the
State of California’s Proclamation of State of Emergency (March 4, 2020) until the Proclamation is
lifted. A list of included tenants is attached as Attachment No. 1.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the rent abatement and direct staff accordingly.

File #:20-1556 MEETING DATE:3/31/2020
Analysis:
Huntington Beach is responding to the spread of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, a respiratory
illness being reported internationally, including in the United States and Orange County, California.
On January 31, 2020,the Federal Health and Human Services Secretary declared a public health
emergency to aid the nation’s healthcare community in responding to the outbreak of COVID-19 in
the United States. On March 4, 2020, Governor Newsom issued a statewide Proclamation of State
of Emergency as a result of the threat of COVID-19 in the State of California. On March 11, 2020,the
World Health Organization characterized the COVID-19 outbreak as a global pandemic.
On March 12, 2020,Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-25-20. The Governor stated,
among other things, that despite sustained efforts, COVID-19 remains a threat and further efforts are
needed to control the spread of the virus; that local officials may issue guidance limiting or
recommending limitations upon attendance at public assemblies, conferences, or other mass events;
and that individuals exposed to COVID-19 may be unable to work, may experience loss of income,
health care, medical coverage, and the ability to pay for housing and basic needs. The Governor
ordered among other things, that residents are to heed orders of state and local health officials,
including social distancing measures; and that provisions of state law relating to disability insurance,
unemployment insurance, emergency medical services, taxes, medical facilities, and public
meetings, are modified during this emergency.
On March 16, 2020,the City Council ratified the existence of a local emergency in Huntington Beach
as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. On March 17, 2020,the Orange County Health Officer
issued an order which greatly restricted the public’s ability to gather for non-essential activities, which
order was amended on March 18, 2020, whereby food and beverage establishments are required to
follow guidance released from the California Department of Public Health (“CDPH”). CDPH
guidelines recommend that restaurants should be closed for in-restaurant seated dining and should
be open only to drive-through or other pick-up/ delivery options.
Upon issuance of these orders, local concessionaires operating at City facilities have seen a
dramatic reduction in business. While the orders did not preclude these businesses from serving
food, the social distancing measures recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and
CDPH have brought business to a halt. The reduction in revenue for a majority of business is
creating a global economic downturn.
Several concessionaire owners have reached out to staff requesting assistance as a result of the
economic downturn caused by COVID-19. The majority of these concessionaires are small, family-
owned businesses. By implementing a rent abatement for affected tenants, the City will help mitigate
the financial burden caused by COVID-19 and, hopefully, prevent the permanent closure of these
businesses.
In addition to the concessionaire tenants, the City owns and operates the Ocean View Estates Mobile
Home Park (OVE) and leases 44 mobile home spaces individually to tenants (with the tenants
owning their respective mobile home). The majority of the tenants are elderly, qualify as low-income,
and are also likely enduring financial hardships as a result of COVID-19. By extending the rent
abatement to OVE tenants, it will allow them to address the burden of other financial obligations that

File #:20-1556 MEETING DATE:3/31/2020
have been exasperated from the COVID-19 crisis.
A complete list of the concessionaires and OVE tenants is provided as Attachment No. 1.
Environmental Status:
The effected lease agreements are existing agreements and modifying payment terms to abate rent
during a limited duration will not result in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a
reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and is therefore not a “project”
per Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Strengthen long-term financial and economic sustainability

City of Huntington Beach
File #:20-1559 MEETING DATE:3/31/2020
REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Oliver Chi, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Oliver Chi, City Manager
Subject:
Emergency Ordinance 4210 Establishing Temporary Ban on Certain Tenant Evictions for Non-
Payment of Rent as a Result of COVID-19 Related Financial Impacts
Statement of Issue:
On March 19, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-33-20 requiring all
Californians to stay at home and avoid public gatherings to slow the spread of novel coronavirus
(COVID-19). This Order has necessitated the closure of all non-essential businesses, which has
resulted in substantial losses of income for many residents. These economic impacts have hindered
some people’s abilities to pay rents, potentially exposing them to evictions during the Stay At Home
Order. In response, the City is considering a temporary ban on certain evictions of residential and
commercial tenants during the pandemic.
Financial Impact:
Not applicable.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Ordinance No. 4210, “An Emergency Ordinance of the City of Huntington Beach, Adding
Chapter 3.58 to the Huntington Beach Municipal Code Establishing a Temporary Ban on Certain
Tenant Evictions for Non-Payment of Rent as a Result of COVID-19 Related Financial Strain.”
Alternative Action(s):
Do not adopt Ordinance No. 4210.
Analysis:
On March 16, 2020, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N 28-20, finding in part, that despite
sustained efforts, COVID-19 remains a threat to the State’s public health and economy. In particular,
the Executive Order authorized local governments to halt evictions for renters and homeowners to
ensure housing security as the State, counties and cities have enforced Stay At Home policies and
instituted extreme social distancing measures designed to prevent any gathering of any number of

individuals, including in non-essential California businesses.
These extreme social distancing requirements have resulted in private-sector business closures. This
is reflected by the fact that a total of around 3.3 million Americans applied for unemployment benefits
last week, which was the highest one-week increase ever recorded. Locally, numerous Californians
are now out of work, on unpaid leave, have experienced a substantial reduction in work hours, have
been laid off, or are otherwise suddenly without requisite financial means to maintain their
households and pay rents and mortgages because of COVID-19 and related governmental actions.
Executive Order N 28-20 states that local jurisdictions are no longer preempted by State Law from
imposing certain temporary regulatory laws that restrict the ability of Landlords to effectuate certain
tenant evictions. The City’s proposed Ordinance No. 4210 also proposes similar measures.
However, there are differences between the Governor’s Executive Order and the City’s proposed
Ordinance:
§Timeline: The Governor’s Executive Order is currently in effect through the May 31, while the
City’s Emergency Ordinance proposes to be in effect for 120 days.
§Application: The Governor’s Executive Order applies to residential tenants, while the City’s
Emergency Ordinance applies to both commercial and residential tenants.
§Penalties: The Governor’s Executive Order is silent on penalties, while the City’s Emergency
Ordinance provides that those violating the regulation are subject to the City’s administrative
citation penalties.
Given the overall situation, the proposed Emergency Ordinance has been developed for City Council
consideration, pursuant to Huntington Beach Charter Section 501, as an emergency measure for the
immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety, by eliminating any uncertainty
regarding evictions during the COVID-19 virus pandemic. If approved, the Emergency Ordinance will
remain in effect for no longer than 120 days from the date of adoption.
Environmental Status:
Not applicable.
Strategic Plan Goal:
