Of the most nine members whose term recently expired, five graduated from high school, thereby creating five vacancies,and four remain in school and seek reappointment to the Board for the 2021-2022 school year. Financial Impact: Not applicable. Recommended Action: A) As recommended by City Council Liaisons Kim Carr and Natalie Moser, approve the reappointment of the following students to a one-year term on the Huntington Beach Youth Board with terms set to expire on May 31, 2022: Luke Blankenbaker - Huntington Beach High School; Vivian Bui - Huntington Beach High School; Kenady Osborne - Marina High School; and Emma Weston - Edison High School; and, B) As recommended by City Council Liaisons Kim Carr and Natalie Moser, approve the appointment of the following students to a one-year term on the Huntington Beach Youth Board with terms set to expire on May 31, 2022.

Alternative Action(s): Do not approve one or both recommendations and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: Prior to the start of each school year, the City seeks to appoint nine student members (four high City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/1/2021Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™52 File #:21-631 MEETING DATE:9/7/2021 Prior to the start of each school year, the City seeks to appoint nine student members (four high school representatives and five high school at-large representatives) to the Huntington Beach Youth Board. All Board Members serve a one-year term, from June through May of the following year. This year, five representatives graduated from high school, thereby creating five vacancies and four current representatives who remain in school are seeking reappointment in 2021-2022. Staff has duly recruited for interested applicants at each of the local high schools and received several applications. After interviewing the potential candidates, Council Liaisons Kim Carr and Natalie Moser selected the following five new Members: Colin Parrott, Huntington Beach High School; Sarah Rizvi, Ocean View High School; Adam Vo, Edison High School; Acacia Bartel, Marina High School; and Faith Nguyen, Edison High School. Council Liaisons Kim Carr and Natalie Moser also recommended the reappointment of the following students to an additional term: Emma Weston, Edison High School; Kanady Osborne, Marina High School; Luke Blankenbaker, Huntington Beach High School; and Vivian Bui, Huntington Beach High School.

The State of California Parking and Business Improvement Law of 1989 requires the City Council to approve an annual report each fiscal year, and adopt a Resolution of Intention to levy an assessment for the next fiscal year at a scheduled public hearing. Financial Impact: There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. Revenues and expenses are included in the FY 2021- 2022 Huntington Beach Business Improvement District budget (710). The expenditures are only reimbursed based upon revenue collected. Recommended Action: A) Approve Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District Annual Report and Proposed Budget for FY 2021-2022; and, B) Adopt Resolution No. 2021-42, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Declaring the City’s Intention to Levy an Annual Assessment for Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Within the Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District,” which sets a public hearing for October 5, 2021; and, C) Authorize the City Manager to sign all necessary documents. Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the Annual Report and do not adopt the Resolution. City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/1/2021Page 1 of 6 powered by Legistar™55 File #:21-557 MEETING DATE:9/7/2021 Analysis: Background In September 2004, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 3661, establishing the Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District (the “District”) to fund promotional activities benefiting all businesses within the boundary area. In addition, pursuant to State Law, the City Council appointed an Advisory Board for the District. The purpose of the Advisory Board is to make recommendations to the City Council regarding the expenditure of revenues derived from the assessments, the classifications of businesses, and the method of levying the assessments. The Advisory Board’s recommendations are then considered by the City Council at a noticed public meeting and approved or modified by the City Council. In 2008, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 3797, amending Ordinance No. 3661, to change how the Advisory Board was selected and subsequently approved Resolution No. 2008-04 appointing a non-profit corporation known as the Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District (HBDBID) to act as the Advisory Board for the District. The HBDBID is a private, 501c(6) business- based organization focused on creating a thriving downtown by providing consumer marketing, events, security, cleanliness, beautification, and member engagement. Annual Report and Proposed Budget While the economy is still adjusting from the COVID-19 pandemic, downtown remains well-positioned for recovery and local businesses continue to rebound from the adverse impact caused by loss of tourism and business conventions, cancelation of weekly and signature events, and periodic disruption from civil unrest. During the past year, various businesses were required to close temporarily or alter their business model, and several popular events were put on hold. Despite these challenges, the nearby beach remained a local and regional destination, with diners patronizing expanded outdoor dining areas and business owners pivoting operations to attract new sales. In light of the pandemic, the HBDBID has taken steps to improve operations and develop programs and events that support downtown businesses. Although assessments collected were less than projected and Surf City Nights, a major revenue generator, was canceled throughout most of FY 2020-2021, the HBDBID was awarded COVID-19 related stimulus funding which helped to offset the decline in revenue. The HBDBID has regular contact with businesses and actively identifies ways to stimulate commercial activity in partnership with the City, Visit Huntington Beach (VHB), and the Chamber of Commerce. Improved marketing efforts have helped to promote the downtown area and include the increase of social media exposure via Facebook and Instagram, and partnerships on local campaigns such as the OneHB Clean & Safe Pledge, 12 Blocks of Cheer, and Show your HB Love. For additional information, a copy of the FY 2020-2021 Annual Report is attached which provides an overview of the past year. Other notable achievements include enhancements to safety and cleanliness with the re-introduction of the Ambassadors Security Program and a re-evaluation of maintenance services. The Ambassadors Security Program has played an instrumental role in the safety of downtown and will continue, in partnership with VHB, to work with business owners, patrons, residents, and the City’s Police Department to address safety-related issues by observing and reporting situations concerning City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/1/2021Page 2 of 6 powered by Legistar™56 File #:21-557 MEETING DATE:9/7/2021 Police Department to address safety-related issues by observing and reporting situations concerning the well-being and safety within downtown. Maintenance operations, with funds administered through the City’s Public Works Department for the maintenance agreement, saw an increase in takeout trash which prompted a re-evaluation of power washing and daily porter services. The City and the HBDBID recently collaborated on a Request for Qualifications with the objective of expanding the footprint of cleaning services while also focusing on the most heavily trafficked areas. Looking ahead, the FY 2021-2022 Annual Report outlines opportunities that will be explored to provide a cleaner, safer, and more pedestrian-friendly downtown by incorporating lessons learned from COVID-19. In addition to enhanced maintenance and safety measures, other efforts to increase economic vitality include rebranding, new off-peak events, expanded social media engagements, redesign of the website, and improved membership services through marketing, communications, and programming. The return of successful holiday events such as Halloween and Miracle on Main Street and new events like Surf City Movie Nights will help to increase foot traffic and consumer spending throughout downtown. Integrating the annual business license and the BID assessment fees into one invoice will also assist with monthly revenue collections. In 2017, a revised Reserves Operating Policy established guidelines for how resources can be used to benefit downtown businesses and included a suggestion to maintain one year of operating expenses. As of June 30, 2021, there is a reserve of $160,733.80 (reflected on the Statement of Financials in the Annual Report) which includes $100,000 in Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) funds which helped compensate revenue losses associated with COVID-19. The HBDBID received a total of $150,000 un EIDL funds and the remaining $50,000 was used to cover operating costs this past year. The proposed FY 2021-2022 budget will increase slightly from the previous year from $538,930 to $549,330 due to increased revenue from new and returning events and grant funding. While projected annual BID assessment revenue is only 19% of the total budget, recurring event revenue from Surf City Nights continues to be robust at 33% of the budget, even with a reduction in vendors resulting from the expansion of outdoor dining. Assessments are expected to be less than anticipated based on prior year receipts. Changes to expenses can be attributed to marketing and events, repayment of the EIDL, and other minor program modifications. The proposed budget for FY 2021-2022 is summarized below, and includes variances from last year’s approved budget, as well as the operations and revenues of Surf City Nights and the maintenance agreement, which previously operated under its own budget.

Funding recommendations to the City Council are made by a ten (10) member (nine voting members, one non-voting member) Advisory Board, which is elected annually by assessed members. State law requires that improvements and activities funded by assessments benefit businesses located within the District. Downtown businesses are assessed based on their size, location, and business type. Assessments range from $40 to $1,404 per annum. For FY 2021-2022, there are no changes to the boundary map or the assessment formula (Exhibit B) which was last amended in FY 2018-2019. As required by State law, a protest hearing must be held to provide the opportunity for those businesses affected to voice their protest or submit their protest in writing. The Resolution of Intention sets this public protest hearing for October 5, 2021. At that time, the City Council will tally the percentage of assessments protested and will hear additional public comments on the renewal of the District. The City Council also has the option of reducing assessments or modifying the boundary area if public comments prompt adjustments. If written protests are received from affected businesses owners totaling 50% or more of assessment value, no further proceedings to continue the District can be considered for a period of one (1) year. Environmental Status: Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), government fiscal activities that do not result in a physical change in the environment and do not commit the lead agency to any specific project, do not constitute a project.

We provide clearly defined value and benefits to our community and stakeholders. ABOUT: WHAT WE DO Create a thriving Downtown business district that delivers on the Surf City USA brand and attracts a quality clientele year-round. In addition to consumer marketing, events, and member communications, the BID provides capital services to benefit Downtown in conjunction with the City: Security Cleanliness Signage Beautification 66 To be a sustainable catalyst for a thriving and livable downtown, nationally recognized for its diverse local businesses and authentic, unique culture. Known for being welcoming, accessible, clean, safe, fun, and environmentally conscious. VISION: MISSION: VALUES: Communication: Education and Service Representative: The advocate voice for all in our community Integrity: Transparency, Honesty, and Respect Strategic Results: Sustainable, ROI Focused, and Efficient Passion: Positivity and Unified in Cause To be the advocate voice for our coastal downtown community creating economic vitality and the premier entertainment destination. 67 The Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District exists to contribute to the continued economic growth of Downtown Huntington Beach, as well as the quality of the overall experience for both visitors and locals. These objectives are achieved through a combination of stakeholder communications, business and civic collaboration, positive marketing and promotions, event programming, safety, cleanliness and member engagement. The challenges brought on by COVID-19 continued through the end of 2020, spiking with an increase in cases and a second stay-at-home order during the holidays. Dining, previously limited to outdoor, was restricted to takeout only. Retail occupancy shrunk to 20%, posing a steep challenge during December. Offices continued with remote work plans for their employees. Rallies continued periodically at Pier Plaza, causing further disruption to businesses. Despite all these factors, 2021 dawned with a sense of resilience and optimism as cases began to decline and restrictions were slowly lifted. Gorgeous weather compelled locals and regional visitors to enjoy Surf City’s 10 miles of coastline, biking and jogging paths. Outdoor dining patios were full (as were the adjacent trash cans) as local residents patronized Downtown’s vibrant retail and restaurant scene. Savvy operators had continued to pivot throughout the preceding months and many (though not all) found themselves well-positioned for recovery with an ample number of economic programs including EIDL and PPP loans providing essential support. While vacancies plagued other destinations, Downtown HB was fortunate to have very few businesses close during the pandemic. Overall BID membership declined from 272 to 263 between 2020 and 2021. However, Downtown has seen a positive trend towards new businesses entering the district including restaurants like Jay Bird’s and Mahkin and retail like SMKFLWR. Surf City Nights returned with great fanfare on March 16, 2021 and has continued to safely attract hundreds of visitors Downtown every Tuesday night. Looking ahead, there are significant opportunities to transform the positive lessons from COVID into lasting aspects of the Downtown experience including an emphasis on cleanliness and safety, an increase in outdoor dining and pedestrian areas, attracting locals and families throughout the year with signature events, and consistently providing an authentic, quality Surf City USA experience to visitors in collaboration with the hotels. 68 SECURITY AMBASSADORS The Ambassadors Security program through 12”0”27 Protective Services, aka Big Tony, officially started in 2017 after a pilot program in 2016 and continues to be vital to the weekend safety of Downtown HB. VHB and the BID continue to fund the Ambassadors though adjustments were made to accommodate reduced budgets including a 3-man team instead of the recommended 4-man team through the fall of 2020 and spring of 2021. A 4-man team will return Downtown every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in 8-hour shifts from July 1st through the first weekend of October. After that they are projected to be on duty two weekends per month based on budgetary constraints. The purpose of the Ambassadors is to establish a rapport and presence with business owners, patrons, and residents of Huntington Beach in the Downtown area. The Ambassadors are not police officers. Their role is to observe and report situations concerning the well-being and safety within the surrounding area. They support the HBPD as needed and within their legal abilities under the law. Their goal is to ensure that all visitors to Downtown HB enjoy themselves and are provided with the safest environment possible. HBPD COMMUNICATIONS The BID appreciates a positive, collaborative relationship with the HBPD. Challenges associated with COVID and weekend rallies only served to increase the value of open, direct communication between organizations to ensure the safety of Downtown HB. In June 2021, the BID, VHB, and HBPD created an informal Downtown Communications Workgroup to foster proactive collaboration and processes between the three organizations. 69 MAINTENANCE & BEAUTIFICATION COVID placed a spotlight on the importance of cleanliness. Power washing and daily porter service are essential to the maintenance of Downtown HB, which is a very active destination throughout the year. MALCO continued to do an excellent job providing power washing and porter services during the pandemic. During the mandate for restaurant takeout-only during the winter of COVID made trash collection and frequency even more vital to Downtown HB. While January is typically an off-peak month, mild weather and a dramatic increase in takeout trash prompted the BID and the City of HB to re-evaluate trash collection services, quickly shifting back to an on-peak collection schedule months ahead of time. The BID and the City of HB collaborated on a new RFQ for power washing and porter services in May with the goal of awarding a new contract by August 2021. The objective of the RFQ is to expand the footprint of cleaning services across a larger space while also strategically increasing power washing in the most heavily trafficked areas. 70 TOURISM VISIT HUNTINGTONBEACH Tourism plays a key role in Huntington Beach’s current and long-term economic prosperity and helps generate more business opportunities for Downtown. The decline in travel due to COVID-19 devastated the U.S. economy with a shocking impact of nearly $500 billion lost in travel spending – a decrease of 36% domestically and 79% internationally since the beginning of March 2020*. To encourage support for local HB businesses, the Downtown BID partnered with Visit Huntington Beach on local campaigns throughout 2020-2021 such as the OneHB Clean & Safe Pledge, “Masks Up, Surf City,”12 Blocks of Cheer and Show Your HB Love. As the vaccination rollout continues and infection rates are falling, Huntington Beach is well positioned to welcome visitors safely and has seen significant improvements in occupancy rates with weekends approaching pre- pandemic levels. The return of Huntington Beach’s signature events and reopening of Southern California theme parks and attractions has brought strong visitation numbers to the destination. With travel momentum building and pent-up demand generating bookings, Visit Huntington Beach will continue to market and sell the Surf City USA brand experience to extend the length of overnight stays, rebuild workforce and increase visitor spending. * Source: U.S. Travel Association 71 BID MEMBER OVERVIEW AND ZONE ANALYSIS THERE ARE CURRENTLY 261 ACTIVE BUSINESSES IN THE DOWNTOWN BID IN ZONE 1 AND 2. 72 BID ASSESSMENT CHART 73 Of the 162 businesses in Zone 1,103 - or 64% - are either a restaurant or retail establishment and they are almost evenly represented. Together, restaurants and retailers generate 86% of BID assessment fees in Zone 1. At 44, Offices/ Services represent the third largest category of business in Zone 1, indicating a vibrant mix of social and professional operations within the area. Employees returning to their offices after COVID will have a positive impact on Downtown as this audience contributes to meaningful dining and shopping revenue during the week. ZONE 1 ANALYSIS 74 Of the 99 businesses in Zone 2, 54 - or 55% - are either a restaurant or retail establishment with the majority being retail at 45. Together, restaurants and retailers generate 68% of BID assessment fees in Zone 2. At 37, Offices/ Services represent the second largest category of businesses in Zone 2, indicating a shift to retail and professional operations within the area which is in easy walking distance from all areas of Downtown. ZONE 2 ANALYSIS 75 There are no changes from the 2018-2019 Assessment Formula. Assessments are paid annually as a mandatory requirement to receive and/or renew a business license for organizations operating within the Business Improvement District. Assessment excluded for apartments, real estate agents, non-profits, home-based businesses and temporary vendors. Business and non-profit organizations outside the area may join with the approval of the BID Board by paying the equivalent fee annually. Non-profit organizations within the BID Assessment Zone can voluntarily participate by paying $30 to the HB Downtown BID directly. Outside of Zones 1 and 2, two hotels, the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort & Spa and The Waterfront Beach Resort, a Hilton Hotel, both elected to voluntarily rejoin the BID in January 2021. NEW BID MEMBERS: Jay Bird’s: Nashville Hot Chicken, Mahkin (Opening Date July 2021), Diane’s Bikinis (New Owners), Aloha Grill (New Owners), Haus of Bunnies (Opening 2021), Hidden Beauty OC, SMKFLWR BID MEMBERSHIP 76 ASSESSMENTS As of June 30th, the BID had collected 55% of projected annual assessments. The City completed a much-anticipated integration of the annual business license fee and BID assessment fees into one invoice in May 2021. The BID anticipates this will help with monthly assessment collections bringing the total closer to the annual projected amount. FINANCIALS EIDL LOAN In late October 2020, the BID applied for an EIDL loan, which was awarded in the amount of $150,000 on Dec. 31, 2020. $50,000 was placed in the BID’s Main Account for use as operating capital. $100,000 was placed in the Reserve account to meet min. funding requirements. On June 19th, the BID began the process of requesting approx. $45,300 in additional EIDL funds. CITY OF HB COVID GRANT On May 24th, the BID applied for a COVID-19 Relief Grant through the City of Huntington Beach. The BID received confirmation that it would receive an award of $10,000 on June 14th. The funds will be placed in the BID’s Main account to use for marketing and operating expenses for the 2021- 2022 fiscal year.77 Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District Statement of Financial Position As of June 30, 2021 Cash Basis Monday, July 12, 2021 04:52 PM GMT-07:00 1/1 TOTAL ASSETS Current Assets Bank Accounts 1020 First Bank -

While November 14, 2020 was admittedly a challenging date to navigate because of increasing COVID restrictions, the open air activation complied with all health and safety guidelines and was considered a success. HBDBID EVENTS The Surf City Marketplace was a new open-air boutique retail destination of 4-6 vendors from October - December. The Marketplace was located at the base of the 3rd block of Main Street during its closure adjacent to the Post Office. The Surf City Farmers' Market was opened in September of 2020 to provide essential needs for our community. Operating in a smaller footprint, Main Street and Olive Ave, 10-12 vendors supported the market through the re-opening of Surf City Nights in March 2021. 84 O CTOB E R 17,2020ROCKIN'FIG VINTAGESURFFESTIVAL A celebration of one of Surf City’s great personalities,Rockin Fig,and the “local’s block”of Main Street,the Rockin Fig Vintage Surf Festival was a block-wide activation that safely brought several hundred people to the 3rd block to enjoy entertainment,exhibits,shopping,and dining on Oct.17,2020. The event garnered lots of positive press coverage including the LA Times,OC Register and Spectrum News.All business on the 3rd block participated in the event by offering special and unique activities that demonstrated the creative collaboration businesses embraced during COVID. In 2021,the 2nd Annual Rockin Fig Vintage Surf Festival will be incorporated into Surf City Days. 85 Local businesses embraced the return of Surf City Nights. The most notable being Avila’s El Ranchito’s introduction of the Mercado Margarita, a weekly flavor inspired by shopping the market each week, Available only on Tuesday nights, the Mercado Margarita often sells out. Another great example of creative collaboration to showcase Downtown HB in a fresh way. Surf City Nights has three distinct zones: Surf City Farmers’ Market, “Restaurant Row” on the 2nd Block of Main Street, and the Surf City Collective which features unique retail and lifestyle merchants that complement the 3rd block businesses. A commission structure was added to selected vendor categories which helped increase profitability of the event even at a reduced footprint. Surf City Nights successfully returned to Downtown HB on Tuesday, March 16th with a new footprint and reimagined vendor mix. At approximately 50 vendors, the street fair is half the original size in terms of vendors, but occupies the same footprint creating a wonderful flow up Main Street from PCH to Orange. The outdoor dining patios on the 2nd block entice visitors to linger over dinner and the expanded vendor spacing has improved sightlines between vendors and businesses. SURF CITY NIGHTS 86 SURF CITY MOVIE NIGHTS Surf City Days were on hiatus in Fall 2020. In October 2021, the event will return to Main Street and Pier Plaza. Local's favorite, HSS Demo Days, will return to the first block of Main Street. The 2nd Annual Rockin Fig Vintage Surf Festival will be added to the event this year for more exposure to all of Downtown. 123 Anywhere St., Any City, ST 12345 In partnership with the International Surfing Museum, Surf City Movie Nights is scheduled for Fall of 2021. Through the help of sponsorships, we will be able to bring classic surf cinema to Downtown Huntington Beach.

The purpose of the Ambassadors is to establish a rapport and presence with business owners, patrons, and residents of Huntington Beach in the Downtown area. The Ambassadors are not police officers. Their role is to observe and report situations concerning the well-being and safety within the surrounding area. They support the HBPD as needed and within their legal abilities under the law. Their goal is to ensure that all visitors to Downtown HB enjoy themselves and are provided with the safest environment possible. VHB and the BID co-fund the Ambassadors. For 2021-2022 VHB will contribute $30,000 and the BID will contribute $40,200 based on current budget allocations. A 4-man team working an 8-hour shift is scheduled Downtown every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday through the weekend of Oct. 3rd to coincide with the Air Show. After that, the Ambassadors will be scheduled as a 3-man team on specific holiday and event weekends through the fall and spring of 2022. HBPD COMMUNICATIONS The BID communicates frequently and works in partnership with HBPD. In June 2021, the BID, VHB, and HBPD created an informal Downtown Communications Workgroup to foster proactive collaboration and processes between the three organizations. The BID attends HBPD security briefings related to events planned for Downtown. 91 MAINTENANCE & BEAUTIFICATION Downtown HB is a very active destination and requires frequent, thorough cleaning. MCS was awarded the cleaning and maintenance contract after the City distributed a new RFQ in June 2021. The new contract provides increased frequency of power washing along heavily-trafficked areas of Downtown while also expanding the coverage area to reach more businesses. Daily porter service is the second component of the contract. The BID often increases porter staffing over holdiay and event weekend. 92 MAINTENANCE & BEAUTIFICATION Zone 1 Power Washing: On Peak = 2 x week, Off Peak = 1 x week 93 MAINTENANCE & BEAUTIFICATION Zone 2 Power Washing: On Peak = 2 x month, Off Peak = 1 x month 94 MAINTENANCE & BEAUTIFICATION Zone 3 Power Washing: Monthly Alley and Gutters 95 BID MEMBER OVERVIEW AND ZONE ANALYSIS THERE ARE CURRENTLY 261 ACTIVE BUSINESSES IN THE DOWNTOWN BID IN ZONE 1 AND 2. 96 BID ASSESSMENT CHART 97 Of the 162 businesses in Zone 1,103 - or 64% - are either a restaurant or retail establishment and they are almost evenly represented.

Employees returning to their offices after COVID will have a positive impact on Downtown as this audience contributes to meaningful dining and shopping revenue during the week. ZONE 1 ANALYSIS 98 Of the 99 businesses in Zone 2, 54 - or 55% - are either a restaurant or retail establishment with the majority being retail at 45. Together, restaurants and retailers generate 68% of BID assessment fees in Zone 2. At 37, Offices/ Services represent the second largest category of businesses in Zone 2, indicating a shift to retail and professional operations within the area which is in easy walking distance from all areas of Downtown. ZONE 2 ANALYSIS 99 There are no changes from the 2018-2019 Assessment Formula. Assessments are paid annually as a mandatory requirement to receive and/or renew a business license for organizations operating within the Business Improvement District. Assessment excluded for apartments, real estate agents, non-profits, home-based businesses and temporary vendors. Business and non-profit organizations outside the area may join with the approval of the BID Board by paying the equivalent fee annually. Non-profit organizations within the BID Assessment Zone can voluntarily participate by paying $30 to the HB Downtown BID directly. Outside of Zones 1 and 2, two hotels, the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort & Spa and The Waterfront Beach Resort, a Hilton Hotel, both elected to voluntarily rejoin the BID in January 2021. NEW BID MEMBERS: Jay Bird’s: Nashville Hot Chicken, Mahkin (Opening Date July 2021), Diane’s Bikinis (New Owners), Aloha Grill (New Owners), Haus of Bunnies (Opening 2021), Hidden Beauty OC, SMKFLWR BID MEMBERSHIP 100 ASSESSMENTS As of June 30th, the BID had collected 55% of projected annual assessments. The City completed a much-anticipated integration of the annual business license fee and BID assessment fees into one invoice in May 2021. The BID anticipates this will help with monthly assessment collections bringing the total closer to the annual projected amount. FINANCIALS EIDL LOAN In late October 2020, the BID applied for an EIDL loan, which was awarded in the amount of $150,000 on Dec. 31, 2020. On Jan. 5, 2021 $50,000 was placed in the BID’s Main Account for use as operating capital to cover expenses such as rent and staff costs. $100,000 was placed in the Reserve account to meet min. funding requirements. On June 19, 2021, the BID began the process of requesting approx. $45,300 in additional EIDL funds. CITY OF HB COVID GRANT On May 24, 2021, the BID applied for a COVID-19 Relief Grant through the City of Huntington Beach. The BID received confirmation that it would receive an award of $10,000 on June 14th. The funds will be placed in the BID’s Main account to use for marketing and operating expenses for the 2021-2022 fiscal year. 101 Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District Statement of Financial Position As of June 30, 2021 Cash Basis Monday, July 12, 2021 04:52 PM GMT-07:00 1/1 TOTAL ASSETS Current Assets Bank Accounts 1020 First Bank - Main Acct 1,274.11 1030 First Bank - MM 160,733.80 1040 First Bank - Malco 25,692.16 Total Bank Accounts $187,700.07 Other Current Assets 1330 Prepaid Rent 500.00 Undeposited Funds 0.00 Total Other Current Assets $500.00 Total Current Assets $188,200.07 Fixed Assets 1640 Machinery & Equipment 11,651.68 1660 Office Equipment 538.74 1670 Computers 1,306.31 1700 Accumulated Depreciation -13,496.73 Total Fixed Assets $0.00 TOTAL ASSETS $188,200.07 LIABILITIES AND EQUITY Liabilities Current Liabilities Other Current Liabilities 2080 Payroll Clearing -185.08 2100 Payroll Tax Payable -853.29 Total Other Current Liabilities $ -1,038.37 Total Current Liabilities $ -1,038.37 Long-Term Liabilities 2400 Notes Payable - SBA EIDL 150,000.00 Total Long-Term Liabilities $150,000.00 Total Liabilities $148,961.63 Equity 3100 Unrestricted Net Assets 122,544.38 Retained Earnings 0.00 Net Revenue -83,305.94 Total Equity $39,238.44 TOTAL LIABILITIES AND EQUITY $188,200.07 102 BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT INCOME:OCT NOV DEC JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP YEARLY TOTALS City of HB Maintenance $18,634.00 $11,864.00 $11,864.00 $11,040.00 $9,690.00 $17,284.00 $18,634.00 $17,284.00 $17,284.00 $18,634.00 $18,109.00 $18,109.00 $188,430.00 BID Assessments $6,000.00 $8,000.00 $8,000.00 $8,000.00 $10,000.00 $10,000.00 $10,000.00 $10,000.00 $10,000.00 $10,000.00 $8,000.00 $8,000.00 $106,000.00 Surf City Nights $15,200.00 $10,200.00 $10,200.00 $10,200.00 $10,200.00 $12,200.00 $15,200.00 $20,200.00 $20,200.00 $20,200.00 $20,200.00 $18,200.00 $182,400.00 Surf City Days $15,000.00 $15,000.00 Summer Kickoff Event $10,000.00 $10,000.00 Chili at the Beach $10,000.00 $10,000.00 Surf City Movie Nights $2,500.00 $5,000.00 $5,000.00 $5,000.00 $17,500.00 Halloween $5,000.00 $5,000.00 City of HB Grant $10,000.00 $10,000.00 Miracle on Main $5,000.00 $5,000.00 Monthly Totals $79,834.00 $35,064.00 $30,064.00 $29,240.00 $29,890.00 $39,484.00 $43,834.00 $47,484.00 $59,984.00 $53,834.00 $51,309.00 $49,309.00 549,330.00 $18,200.00 EXPENSE:OCT NOV DEC JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP YEARLY TOTALS City of HB Maintenance $17,634.00 $10,864.00 $10,864.00 $10,040.00 $8,690.00 $16,284.00 $17,634.00 $16,284.00 $16,284.00 $17,634.00 $17,109.00 $17,109.00 $176,430.00 Marketing/Advertising $1,200.00 $1,200.00 $1,200.00 $1,200.00 $1,200.00 $700.00 $700.00 $700.00 $700.00 $700.00 $700.00 $700.00 $10,900.00 Ambassadors Security $5,000.00 $1,000.00 $3,000.00 $2,100.00 $2,100.00 $2,100.00 $2,100.00 $2,000.00 $5,200.00 $5,200.00 $5,200.00 $5,200.00 $40,200.00 Office Expense $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 $1,200.00 Bank Charges $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 $1,200.00 Dues & Subscriptions $250.00 $250.00 $250.00 $250.00 $250.00 $250.00 $250.00 $250.00 $250.00 $250.00 $250.00 $250.00 $3,000.00 Insurance $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $600.00 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $1,300.00 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $1,900.00 Accounting $540.00 $540.00 $540.00 $540.00 $850.00 $1,100.00 $540.00 $540.00 $540.00 $540.00 $540.00 $540.00 $7,350.00 License & Fees $150.00 $150.00 $150.00 $150.00 $150.00 $150.00 $150.00 $150.00 $200.00 $200.00 $200.00 $200.00 $2,000.00 Board of Directors Election $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $2,000.00 $2,000.00 Meeting/Training $100.00 $100.00 $50.00 $100.00 $100.00 $50.00 $50.00 $50.00 $50.00 $50.00 $50.00 $50.00 $800.00 Exec.

The most notable being Avila’s El Ranchito’s introduction of the Mercado Margarita, a weekly flavor inspired by shopping the market each week, Available only on Tuesday nights, the Mercado Margarita often sells out; it's a great example of creative collaboration to showcase Downtown HB in a fresh way. Surf City Nights has three distinct zones: Surf City Farmers’ Market, “Restaurant Row” on the 2nd Block of Main Street, and the Surf City Collective which features unique retail and lifestyle merchants that complement the 3rd block businesses. A commission structure was added to selected vendor categories which helped increase profitability of the event even at a reduced footprint. Surf City Nights successfully returned to Downtown HB on Tuesday, March 16th, 2021 with a new footprint and reimagined vendor mix. At approximately 50 vendors, the street fair is half the original size in terms of vendors, but occupies the same footprint creating a wonderful flow up Main Street from PCH to Orange. The outdoor dining patios on the 2nd block entice visitors to linger over dinner and the expanded vendor spacing has improved sightlines between vendors and businesses. SURF CITY NIGHTS 105 SURF CITY MOVIE NIGHTS In October 2021, Surf City Days will return to Main Street and Pier Plaza. Local's favorite, HSS Demo Days, will return to the first block of Main Street. The 2nd Annual Rockin Fig Vintage Surf Festival will be added to the event this year for more exposure to all of Downtown. 123 Anywhere St., Any City, ST 12345 In partnership with the International Surfing Museum, Surf City Movie Nights is scheduled for Fall of 2021. Through the help of sponsorships, we will be able to bring classic surf cinema to Downtown Huntington Beach. SURF CITY DAYS HOLIDAYS 2021 UPCOMING EVENTS The spirit of the season returns Downtown in 2021. Activities are being planned for both nights of Halloween weekend with the traditional trick-or-treating Downtown on the 31st. Enhanced decorations and the return of Miracle on Main Street is planned for Holiday 2021. 106 LOOKING AHEAD Rebrand BID with a user-friendly name, i.e.Explore Downtown HB, DTHB, or Experience Downtown HB New Seasonal Events: examples include a Summer Kick-off event and possible monthly lifestyle events Annualized Calendar of Events to Increase Shoulder Season Programming Double Social Media Followers and Engagement Redesign and Expand Website Content to Feature Different Sections for Businesses and Visitors Increase Clarity and Value of BID Membership through Marketing, Member Communications, Services, and Programming CHALLENGES REVENUE Projected Annual BID Assessment Revenue is just 18% of the budget.

IMPROVEMENTS 115 City of Huntington Beach File #:21-572 MEETING DATE:9/7/2021 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members SUBMITTED BY:Oliver Chi, City Manager PREPARED BY:Sean Crumby, Director of Public Works Subject: Adopt Resolution No. 2021-47 identifying the FY 2021-22 projects to be funded by SB 1: The Road Repair Accountability Act Statement of Issue: In order to receive State of California SB 1 funding, the City is required to identify, via adoption of a resolution, the projects that will utilize this funding. Financial Impact: Adoption of the resolution is a pre-requisite for receipt of an estimated $3,866,667 in SB 1 funding from the State, which will be deposited in the Road Maintenance and Repair Account (RMRA) fund (1247). Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution No. 2021-47, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Adopting a List of Projects for Fiscal Year 2021-22 Funded By SB1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act.” Alternative Action(s): Do not adopt the resolution. This action would forfeit the receipt of RMRA funding. Analysis: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, also known as SB 1,was passed by the State 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 Huntington Beach’s population it is estimated that the City will receive $3,866,667 in FY 2021-22 for applicable street and transportation projects. A pre-requisite for the City to receive these funds is the submittal of a resolution to identify proposed projects that will utilize the funding. The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget for FY 2021-22 identifies the use of these funds, in addition to other funds, for the annual Arterial Rehabilitation Project. The street proposed have been approved by the City Council both in the annual budget and in the Pavement Management Plan and include: City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/1/2021Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™116 File #:21-572 MEETING DATE:9/7/2021 Edinger (Saybrook to Countess) Warner (Algonquin to Los Patos) Talbert (Edwards to Springdale) Newland (Talbert to Slater) Brookhurst (Yorktown to Adams) Saybrook (Edinger to Heil) Springdale (Warner to Slater) The City retains the ability to alter this list as long as the funds are spent on eligible projects.

OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED - SB 1 (Atkins) - Environmental, Public Health, and Workers Defense Act of 2019 This bill requires state and regional agencies to identify, assess, and, to the extent feasible and consistent with their statutory authorities, minimize and mitigate the impacts of sea level rise. It also requires the California Coastal Commission (CCC) to adopt, after a public hearing, procedures related to Local Coastal Programs (LCPs) that provide recommendations and guidelines to incorporate new information as it becomes available, for the identification, assessment, minimization, and mitigation of sea level rise. Additional funding may be available for existing environmental justice programs focused on disadvantaged communities.While the IRC commends SB 1’s proactive efforts to mitigate sea level rise along California’s cost, there is concern over an existing CCC position that publicly owned and maintained flood protection devices - including those owned and maintained by the OC Flood Control District - cannot be relied upon by projects and planning documents to mitigate and assess risks from future sea level rise. Considering many of these facilities provide flood protection for thousands of homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure projects, the IRC is opposed unless an amendment to SB 1 is made providing clarity on this existing CCC position. Maintaining this position may preclude large areas within the coast zone from planning efforts that may include priority housing goals of statewide importance and other issues. 2. SUPPORT/ADOPT - Resolution No. 2021-49 “Commitment to End Child Marriage by Calling for an “18 No Exceptions Law”Many states, including California, allow for marriage under the age of 18, with parental and/or judicial consent. These exceptions have allowed for vulnerable children to be married into legal contracts that take away their rights to sovereignty and make children vulnerable to abusive marriages. On September 14, 2019, Global Hope 365 - a local non-profit based in Tustin, CA - announced the start of the California Coalition to End Child Marriage at the Human Trafficking and Child Marriage Forum. During that meeting, over 100 elected officials and community leaders from Orange County jurisdictions and agencies committed to implementing policies that call for the end of child marriage. Since then, several Orange County cities including Costa Mesa, Irvine, and Newport Beach have adopted resolutions in support of raising the minimum marrying age in the state of California to eighteen.The IRC recommends passing a Resolution in support of ending Child Marriage, based on, and adapted from the sample resolution provided by California Coalition to End Child Marriage.The adoption of the Resolution adopts the recitals in the Resolution and states the following actions: 1. The City Council hereby calls on the California State Legislature to introduce and pass legislation to “End Child Marriage Under 18, No Exceptions”; and 2. The City Council hereby calls upon other California municipalities to consider adopting resolutions showing their commitment to end Child Marriage; and 3. The City Council hereby authorizes the City Manager and authorized city staff to announce notice of the City Council’s adoption of this Resolution on the City’s social media platforms.

Coastal resources: sea level rise. (1) Existing law, the California Coastal Act of 1976, establishes the California Coastal Commission and provides for planning and regulation of development in the coastal zone, as defined. The act requires the commission, within 90 days after January 1, 1977, to adopt, after public hearing, procedures for the preparation, submission, approval, appeal, certification, and amendment of a local coastal program, including a common methodology for the preparation of, and the determination of the scope of, the local coastal programs, as provided. This bill would also include, as part of the procedures the commission is required to adopt, recommendations and guidelines for the identification, assessment, minimization, and mitigation of sea level rise within each local coastal program, as provided. The bill would 97 123 delete the timeframe specified above by which the commission is required to adopt these procedures. The bill would require the commission to take into account the effects of sea level rise in coastal resource planning and management policies and activities, as provided. In addition, the bill would require state and regional agencies to identify, assess, and, to the extent feasible and consistent with their statutory authorities, minimize avoid, minimize, and mitigate the impacts of sea level rise. To the extent that a regional agency is a local public agency, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The act makes legislative findings and declarations relating to the basic goals of the state for the coastal zone. This bill would add, as part of those goals, the goal of anticipating, assessing, planning for, and, to the extent feasible, minimizing avoiding, minimizing, and mitigating the adverse environmental and economic effects of sea level rise within the coastal zone. (2) Existing law requires the Natural Resources Agency, in collaboration with the Ocean Protection Council, to create and post on an internet website a Planning for Sea Level Rise Database describing steps being taken throughout the state to prepare for, and adapt to, sea level rise. This bill would create within the council the California Sea Level Rise State and Regional Support Collaborative. The bill would require the collaborative, among other things, to provide state and regional information to the public and support to local, regional, and other state agencies for the identification, assessment, planning, and, where feasible, the mitigation of the adverse environmental, social, and economic effects of sea level rise, as provided. The bill would require, upon appropriation in the annual Budget Act, the collaborative to expend no more than $100,000,000 annually from appropriate bond funds and other sources for the purpose of making grants to local and regional governments to update local and regional land use plans to take into account sea level rise and for directly related investments to implement those plans, as provided. The bill would require the Secretary for Environmental Protection and the Secretary of the Natural Resources Agency, as part of the adoption of the annual Budget Act, to annually appear before the budget committees of both houses of the Legislature regarding the implementation of the above provisions. (3) Existing law establishes the Environmental Justice Small Grant Program under the jurisdiction of the California Environmental Protection Agency, with the purpose to provide grants to eligible 97 — 2 — SB 1 124 community groups that are located in areas adversely affected by environmental pollution and hazards and that are involved in work to address environmental justice issues. Existing law authorizes the Secretary for Environmental Protection to expend up to $1,500,000 per year for purposes of this grant program. This bill would instead authorize the secretary to expend up to $2,000,000 per year for purposes of the grant program and would require up to $500,000 of that money to be expended by the secretary for grants to organizations working to address and mitigate the effects of sea level rise in disadvantaged communities, as defined, impacted by sea level rise. (4) 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, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes. The people of the State of California do enact as follows: line 1 SECTION 1. Section 30001.5 of the Public Resources Code line 2 is amended to read: line 3 30001.5.

CALIFORNIA SEA LEVEL RISE line 8 MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION ACT OF 2021 line 9 line 10 30970. This division shall be known, and may be cited, as the line 11 California Sea Level Rise Mitigation and Adaptation Act of 2021. line 12 30971. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: line 13 (a) California has 1,264 miles of coastline, and, if small bays line 14 and inlets are included, it has up to 3,000 miles of coastline located line 15 on the western seaboard of the United States, all of which is prone line 16 to the severe and pervasive effects of sea level rise. line 17 (b) According to the “State of California Sea-Level Rise line 18 Guidance Document” issued by the Natural Resources Agency line 19 and the Ocean Protection Council, the impacts of sea level rise on line 20 the state will be significant and pervasive, and could occur as soon line 21 as within the next decade. line 22 (c) (1) As with most impacts from climate change, the impacts line 23 of sea level rise are both environmental and economic, including line 24 losses to publicly owned infrastructure, such as airports, rail lines, line 25 streets and highways, pipelines, waste water treatment plants, line 26 schools, hospitals, and other facilities. line 27 (2) For example, the catastrophic inundation, flooding, and line 28 property damage from a small rise in sea level, combined with a line 29 1-in-10 likelihood of a Pacific storm, could amount to tens of line 30 billions of dollars in uninsured losses of structures and properties. line 31 (3) A 2015 assessment by the Risky Business Project, led by line 32 former United States Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson and line 33 other business leaders, found that between eight billion dollars line 34 ($8,000,000,000) and ten billion dollars ($10,000,000,000) of line 35 existing property in the state is likely to be underwater by the year line 36 2050 if current trends continue. line 37 (4) According to the 2015 National Oceanic and Atmospheric line 38 Administration report, The National Significance of California’s line 39 Coastal Economy, “California’s 19 coastal counties generated line 40 $662 billion in wages and $1.7 trillion in GDP in 2012” and 97 SB 1 — 5 — 127 line 1 “California’s ocean-related activities represent a substantial portion line 2 of the U.S. ocean economy as a whole—13 percent of the line 3 establishments, 14 percent of the employment and wages, and 12 line 4 percent of the GDP in 2012,” all of which would be adversely line 5 affected by sea level rise. line 6 (5) Recent reports in periodicals, such as the Los Angeles Times, line 7 state succinctly that “Destruction from sea level rise in California line 8 could exceed worst wildfires and earthquakes.” line 9 (d) For the economy, the natural environment, and the people line 10 of California, it is urgent that the state enact new statutes to plan line 11 for, anticipate, and respond to sea level rise. line 12 (e) The purpose of this division is to establish new planning, line 13 assessment, funding, and mitigation tools for California to address line 14 and respond to sea level rise. line 15 30972. (a) (1) There is hereby created within the Ocean line 16 Protection Council the California Sea Level Rise State and line 17 Regional Support Collaborative. line 18 (2) In its role as the collaborative, the Ocean Protection Council line 19 shall coordinate with the other state planning and coastal line 20 management agencies, including, but not limited to, the Office of line 21 Planning and Research, the Strategic Growth Council, the State line 22 Lands Commission, the California Coastal Commission, the State line 23 Coastal Conservancy, and the San Francisco Bay Conservation line 24 and Development Commission, to administer the grants and on line 25 the kind of information and support it provides local, regional, line 26 and other state agencies consistent with their statutory authority. line 27 (b) The collaborative shall provide state and regional information line 28 to the public and support to local, regional, and other state agencies line 29 for the identification, assessment, planning, and, where feasible, line 30 the mitigation of the adverse environmental, social, and economic line 31 effects of sea level rise within the coastal zone and the area under line 32 the jurisdiction of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and line 33 Development Commission, pursuant to Section 66610 of the line 34 Government Code. The support the collaborative provides to local line 35 and regional agencies shall include, but not be limited to, technical line 36 assistance on updating local and regional land use plans to take line 37 into account sea level rise. line 38 30973. (a) Upon appropriation by the Legislature in the annual line 39 Budget Act, the collaborative shall expend not more than one line 40 hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) annually from appropriate 97 — 6 — SB 1 128 line 1 bond funds and other sources for the purposes of making grants line 2 to local and regional governments to update local and regional line 3 land use plans to take into account sea level rise, and for directly line 4 related investments to implement those plans. Priority shall be line 5 given to those local and regional governments that have agreed line 6 most effectively and urgently to plan for and implement actions line 7 to address sea level rise. line 8 (b) As part of the adoption of the annual Budget Act, the line 9 Secretary of Environmental Protection and the Secretary of the line 10 Natural Resources Agency shall annually appear before the budget line 11 committees of both houses of the Legislature regarding the line 12 implementation of this division. line 13 SEC. 6. Section 71116 of the Public Resources Code is line 14 amended to read: line 15 71116.

O 97 — 10 — SB 1 132 133 134 135 136 City of Huntington Beach File #:21-619 MEETING DATE:9/7/2021 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members SUBMITTED BY:Oliver Chi, City Manager PREPARED BY:Ursula Luna-Reynosa, Director of Community Development Subject: Consider an Extension of the Temporary Closure of the Second Block of Main Street to Vehicular Traffic Through the End of the Calendar Year (December 31, 2021) Statement of Issue: On February 16, 2021, the City Council approved a request from the Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District (HBDBID) to extend the temporary closure of the second block of Main Street to vehicular traffic through Labor Day (September 6, 2021) to allow downtown businesses the opportunity to continue operating outdoors to meet physical distancing requirements in a safe manner during the COVID-19 pandemic. At that meeting, the City Council also authorized staff to engage an urban design firm to further study Main Street for future placemaking and outdoor dining opportunities, as well as the establishment of an Ad Hoc Downtown Urban Design Study Committee. Of note, at that time, the third block of Main Street was reconfigured to allow for both outdoor dining and the reopening of vehicular traffic. Businesses are facing significant continued uncertainty with an uptick in COVID cases over the summer, and some safety restrictions have been re-imposed instead of fully lifted. Therefore, staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the second block of Main Street to remain closed to vehicular traffic through the end of the 2021 calendar year so that local residents and visitors can continue to take advantage of expanded outdoor dining and retail opportunities. Financial Impact: There are no direct costs to the City if the City Council is to extend the temporary closure. If there are increased sales to the businesses, then there would be a nominal, corresponding positive fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund via sales tax revenue. Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to continue the temporary closure of the second block of Main Street to vehicular traffic to accommodate outdoor dining and retail in the public right-of-way through City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/1/2021Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™137 File #:21-619 MEETING DATE:9/7/2021 December 31, 2021. Alternative Action(s): Do not authorize an extension of the temporary street closure and direct that Main Street reopen to vehicular traffic, or provide alternative direction regarding the opening and / or closing of Main Street in the City’s downtown core. Analysis: Staff has confirmed that the HBDBID maintains its request that the City Council extend the second block of Main Street closure through the end of the 2021 calendar year. Given the ongoing uncertainty with the Delta variant and the increase in COVID cases throughout Southern California, the extended closure of the second block would allow businesses the opportunity to meet safe physical distancing requirements and give merchants and patrons certainty that this additional outdoor space will remain available. According to the HBDBID, there is broad support among second block businesses and property owners for this extension. Since July 6, 2020, the City has been able to pilot the closure of the second block of Main Street, which has indicated positive sales, particularly from restauranteurs in response to increased outdoor dining. This inferred success and enhanced pedestrian/family-friendly environment led to an interest in further studying Main Street, particularly the second block, for future placemaking and outdoor dining opportunities. The expansion of outdoor dining areas and increased pedestrian zones have added liveliness and interest to downtown and a desire to imagine potential permanent improvements. Additionally, there has long been interest in enhancing the connectivity between the resorts, Pacific City, downtown, and the pier as defined in the Downtown Specific Plan. The City hired Studio One Eleven to refine further a concept developed by RSM Design which focused on the downtown connection via Walnut. The scope of the current Downtown Urban Design Study, as described below, includes an additional study of potential PCH improvements. ·An assessment of existing conditions and review of previous reports and studies; ·Potential streetscape configurations of Main Street which includes options for the first, second and third blocks; ·Downtown connectivity strategies; ·A feedback loop to provide input on Main Street configurations and connectivity strategies; and, ·A final refinement of two concept configurations and connectivity strategies (based on feedback received) to be presented to the City Council. The Ad Hoc Downtown Urban Design Study Committee includes Mayor Carr, Mayor Pro Tem Delgleize, and Council Member Moser, who have participated with staff (City Manager’s Office, Community Development, and Public Works) and the consultant to provide feedback on the above- described scope of work. The Ad Hoc Committee will engage community representatives to solicit feedback regarding the two concept configurations and connectivity strategies. This public engagement will commence in late September/ early October. After soliciting public engagement, staff plans to return to the City Council for further consideration of long term updates related to improving connectivity within the broader downtown resort district.

During their discussion, Council Members expressed the need to extend the closure, possibly to next Labor Day or the end of the calendar year. The City Council extended the closure to February 28, 2021, and stressed the importance of allowing the new City Council to make these important, longer- term decisions, requesting that the item be agendized for further discussion and direction on December 21, 2020 (Attachment 1). Additionally, on December 7, 2020, a new State-mandated stay- at-home order took effect suspending both indoor and outdoor dining for at least three weeks. These current State orders illustrate how businesses are facing significant continued uncertainty as in- person dining restrictions may be extended further or re-imposed in the future if COVID case metrics do not improve. Therefore, staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the second and third blocks of Main Street to remain closed to vehicular traffic through Labor Day 2021. Financial Impact: There are no direct costs to the City if the City Council extends the temporary closure. If the closure does result in increased sales for the businesses, then there would be a nominal positive, corresponding fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund via sales tax revenue. Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to continue the temporary closure of the second and third blocks of Main Street to vehicular traffic to accommodate outdoor dining and retail in the public right-of-way until September 6, 2021. City of Huntington Beach Printed on 1/2/2021Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™140 File #:20-2090 MEETING DATE:12/21/2020 Alternative Action(s): (A)Do not authorize an extension of the temporary street closure and direct that Main Street reopen to vehicular traffic effective March 1, 2021. (B)Authorize an extension of the temporary street closure past March 1, 2021, and select an alternative date to extend the temporary closure. Analysis: On November 16, 2020, the City Council considered a request from the Downtown Business Improvement District (BID) to extend the temporary closure of the second and third blocks of Main Street to vehicular traffic to allow downtown businesses the opportunity to continue operating outdoors to meet physical distancing requirements in a safe manner due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During their discussion, Council Members expressed the need to extend the closure, possibly to next Labor Day or the end of the calendar year. There was also discussion about whether the first block of Main Street should be closed to vehicular traffic and/or if the third block should be reopened to vehicular traffic. The City Council extended the closure to February 28, 2021, and stressed the importance of allowing the new City Council to make these important, longer-term decisions, requesting that the item be agendized for further discussion and direction on December 21, 2020 (Attachment 1). Subsequently, on December 7, 2020, a new State-mandated stay-at-home order took effect suspending both indoor and outdoor dining for at least three weeks. These current State orders illustrate how businesses are facing significant continued uncertainty as in-person dining restrictions may be extended further or re-imposed in the future if COVID case metrics do not improve. Therefore, staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the second and third blocks of Main Street to remain closed to vehicular traffic through Labor Day 2021. If approved, this would give merchants certainty that this space will remain available through the pandemic in this otherwise highly uncertain time. This issue of uncertainty, where businesses do not have a definitive end date of when temporary outdoor activity is to cease being allowed, was raised by the Economic Recovery Task Force. Task Force members argued that it is difficult to make significant investments when you don’t have a certain, guaranteed amount of time to get a return on investment (ROI). Discussion occurred that the City Council could select an outside date, regardless of whether the pandemic is still occurring, to provide enough time and certainty to allow a ROI. This input was considered in staff’s recommendation. During this last year as businesses have been so significantly impacted by pandemic restrictions, staff has begun exploring strategies to support downtown merchants in the long term after COVID- 19. For example, staff revisited the idea of improving wayfinding and the pedestrian experience between Main Street, Pacific City, and the hotels located on Pacific Coast Highway to increase pedestrian traffic among these businesses. A concept plan was prepared in August 2019, which is attached to this staff report to demonstrate some potential ideas (Attachment 2). Also, the temporary closure of the second and third blocks of Main Street has been well received by the community for the more family-friendly downtown dining experience it has created and a more favorable business City of Huntington Beach Printed on 1/2/2021Page 2 of 3 powered by Legistar™141 File #:20-2090 MEETING DATE:12/21/2020 climate for restaurateurs, particularly those on the second block, which have indicated increased sales when comparing summer 2020 to summer 2019. The temperate climate of Huntington Beach and downtown’s proximity to the Pacific Ocean make it an interesting area to study for year-round, permanent outdoor dining. Staff proposes engaging the services of an urban design firm to study alternatives for better pedestrian connectivity between downtown and the hotels/Pacific City, and a more permanent pedestrian and outdoor dining format for Main Street. Staff is also exploring the feasibility of forming a community benefit district for downtown property owners, which districts have proven to be highly successful in other communities, particularly for financing and maintaining physical improvements in business and tourism areas as well as promoting the districts offerings. Staff will report to the Council on the progress of each of these initiatives over the coming months. Environmental Status: The project is exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15304(e), because the proposed project consists of a minor temporary use having negligible or no permanent effects on the environment.

Environmental Graphics & Wayfinding Concept Package City of Huntington Beach Printed on 1/2/2021Page 3 of 3 powered by Legistar™142 City of Huntington Beach File #:21-100 MEETING DATE:2/16/2021 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members SUBMITTED BY:Oliver Chi, City Manager PREPARED BY:Ursula Luna-Reynosa, Director of Community Development Subject: Consider an Extension of the Temporary Closure of the Second Block of Main Street to Vehicular Traffic Through Labor Day (September 6, 2021); Authorize Staff to Engage an Urban Design Firm; and, Appoint the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, and a City Council Member to Serve on an Ad Hoc Downtown Urban Design Study Committee Statement of Issue: On December 21, 2020, the City Council considered a request from the Downtown Business Improvement District (BID) to extend the temporary closure of the second and third blocks of Main Street to vehicular traffic through Labor Day (September 6, 2021) to allow downtown businesses the opportunity to continue operating outdoors to meet physical distancing requirements in a safe manner during the COVID-19 pandemic. At that meeting, Council Members discussed the differences between the second and third blocks of Main Street, including the lower number of third block businesses using the outdoor space, and the lower level of support among affected third block businesses for extending the street closure. Ultimately, after substantive deliberation, the City Council directed staff to reopen the third block to vehicular traffic, extended the closure of the second block to February 28, 2021, and requested that the issue related to opening / closing the second block of Main Street be reagendized for consideration on February 16, 2021 (Attachment 1). The temporary closure of Main Street has resulted in robust discussions that warrants further study for informed discussions about future place making opportunities and better connection to the southern portion of the Downtown as defined in the Downtown Specific Plan. Financial Impact: There are no direct costs to the City if the City Council is to extend the temporary closure. If the closure does result in increased sales to the businesses then there would be a nominal positive, corresponding fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund via sales tax revenue. The cost of an urban design study will be within the parameters of the existing budget and the award of any agreement will City of Huntington Beach Printed on 2/27/2021Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™143 File #:21-100 MEETING DATE:2/16/2021 follow the City’s established procurement procedures. Recommended Action: A) Authorize the City Manager to continue the temporary closure of the second block of Main Street to vehicular traffic to accommodate outdoor dining and retail in the public right-of-way through September 6, 2021; and, B) Authorize staff to engage an Urban Design Firm; and, C) Establish an Ad Hoc Downtown Urban Design Study Committee; and, D) Appoint the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, and a City Council Member to the Ad Hoc Committee . Alternative Action(s): Provide alternative direction. Analysis: Staff has confirmed that the BID maintains its request that the City Council extend the closure of the second block of Main Street through Labor Day. If approved, this extension would give merchants certainty that this additional outdoor space will remain available through the pandemic in this otherwise highly uncertain time. According to the BID, there is broad support among second block businesses and property owners for this extension. The City has been able to pilot the closure of the second block of Main Street during the pandemic. Anecdotal information has indicated positive sales for the second block businesses, particularly restauranteurs, due to the ability to add or increase outdoor dining opportunities. This inferred success has led to interest in further studying Main Street, particularly the second block, for future place making and outdoor dining opportunities. The addition of street side dining has added liveliness and interest to downtown and the ability to imagine an enhanced physical environment that could be even more inviting. Further, there has long been interest in enhancing the connectivity between the resorts, Pacific City, downtown and the pier. A concept was prepared for the City by RSM Design and was included with the City Council packet at the December 21st meeting. This study particularly focused on the connection via Walnut. Further refinement of this concept, with additional study of potential PCH improvements, is necessary prior to being able to design and estimate costs for implementation. Staff has solicited proposals from three urban design firms. Staff is seeking direction from the City Council to move forward with a Downtown Urban Design Study. The scope of work includes: ·An assessment of existing conditions and review of previous reports and studies ·Potential streetscape configurations of Main Street ·Downtown connectivity strategies ·A feedback loop to provide input on Main Street configurations and connectivity strategies ·A final refinement of two concept configurations and two strategies (based on feedback City of Huntington Beach Printed on 2/27/2021Page 2 of 3 powered by Legistar™144 File #:21-100 MEETING DATE:2/16/2021 received) to be presented to the City Council. Staff requests that the City Council establish the Ad Hoc Downtown Urban Design Study Committee and appoint the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, and a member of the City Council to serve on the Ad Hoc Committee. This Ad Hoc Committee will also work to engage community representatives to assist with the overall assessment. It is envisioned that the Ad Hoc Committee will then participate with staff and the consultant in the feedback loop component of the above-described scope of work. Staff from Community Development, Public Works, and Community Services will provide technical support to the Ad Hoc Committee, with Community Development staff being the main liaison in coordinating meetings and managing the agreement with the Urban Design firm. At the conclusion of this effort, and within 4 months of execution of an agreement with an Urban Design firm, two Main Street streetscape configurations and two downtown connectivity strategies will be presented to the City Council for consideration. Staff will also provide an order of magnitude cost estimate to implement each concept. Should the City Council desire to move forward with possible implementation, staff will engage in a robust community engagement process that will include small group stakeholder meetings and a virtual open house to further refine and assist selection in final configurations and plans. Should the City Council desire to proceed with implementation, staff would then request approval to engage services for design documents and allocation of funds. At the time of such consideration, any necessary environmental analysis will be conducted.

The HBDBID has been consistent in its support of opportunities for additional outdoor dining and retail space – on both the 2nd and 3rd blocks – and has developed a deeper appreciation for the role of planning and design. The HBDBID hopes that the Council recognizes the value of Downtown outdoor dining spaces both in terms of public safety and business recovery and that future developments may serve as a template for successful adaptations to the Downtown HB experience.

We recognize how incredibly important the Sports Complex is to our community and we are excited to partner with the City of Huntington Beach to realize the potential of this amazing facility and make the Huntington Beach Sports Complex a premier sports venue. At it’s core, sports are about teamwork…about building a sense of community…and about diverse individuals collaborating to achieve a common goal. We believe wholeheartedly that a successful Sports Complex reaches far beyond the daily operation of the fields, but it establishes a connection with the community, creates memorable experiences for its patrons, and provides a place for local athletes to learn fundamental skills in sport…and in life. Sports provide so much more than physical benefits, especially when they are incorporated into the lives of young people. Over the years, numerous studies have shown the correlation between sports and academic success, the ability of athletes to overcome adversity and tackle big problems, the development of leadership and communication skills, the ability to manage time effectively, and to be decisive under pressure. This is the opportunity that we see in the Sports Complex and what we want to provide for OUR city. We feel strongly that we have established a team that is dedicated to realizing our vision. A team of visionaries, sports professionals, and Huntington Beach icons that will put the best interest of our great City first. Our team has already dedicated a significant amount of planning for this opportunity, and if selected, we are committed to leading a revitalization and transformation of this site that HB can be truly proud of. We are thrilled to be working with such an amazing and committed group of stakeholders, whose passion for this project has been evident throughout the proposal process, and we look forward to continuing this journey with the City. Sincerely, Matt Olmstead HBSC Partners PH: 714-376-1028 Email: hbmatty@gmail.com BSC 204 B EXPERIENCE 205 FIRM OVERVIEW HBSC Partners, LLC is a partnership formed for the sole purpose of developing the Huntington Beach Sports Complex into the hub of youth and adult sports for our local community and a destination for sports competition. Huntington Beach is a premier year-round travel destination, and the Sports Complex provides a unique opportunity to integrate youth player development, competition, and adult recreation with the local amenities that make Huntington Beach so special. In recent years, HBSC as developed nationally recognized youth baseball programs. We have developed strong partnerships with some of the most renowned organizations and individuals in baseball community, providing our youth players with the access and opportunity to pursue their athletic dreams. Having travelled the country, visited countless “sports complex” venues, and successfully represented the Huntington Beach community on the largest of stages, we have seen how these experiences have helped shape young athletes, stimulate local economies, and build lifelong relationships. For all of us, one question has always lingered, ”Why can’t we do this in Huntington Beach?” Our background, however, goes beyond our extensive experience in sports. Having been born, raised, lived, and worked in Huntington Beach, the partners at HBSC have developed strong ties with HB community organizations, hospitality and retail businesses, and the families that are the fabric of this great community. Our firm is looking far beyond the financial pro-forma of the Sports Complex, but rather how the Sports Complex could best benefit the people and the businesses of this great city. The partners of HBSC, are highly respected leaders in their respective professions, responsible for the development and oversight of successful business ventures and initiatives, and we care deeply about the Huntington Beach community. As a team, our sole mission is dedicated to creating a place for our local athletes to call home while inspiring community growth and vitality. We believe strongly that, in collaboration with the City of Huntington Beach, the Sports Complex can become more than just a “place” but an “experience.” o MANAGEMENT OF YOUTH SPORTS PROGRAMS Collectively, HBSC partners have over 15 years of experience managing, developing and operating youth sports programs, participating in events throughout California and across the United States. o REPUTATION IN THE SPORTS COMMUNITY We enjoy an outstanding professional reputation in the sports community which includes many instrumental sports figures here in our local communities. o STRONG COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS As HB locals, we have built strong relationships with many businesses and organizations in our community. We look forward to forming further partnerships that will drive continued economic development in the community. o NON-PROFIT EXPERIENCE HBSC Partners have developed and operate a non- profit youth baseball organization, demonstrating our commitment to a youth sports mission that reaches beyond financial incentives.

The financial stability of this startup entity can be demonstrated through the financial stability of it’s managing partners. Through personal investment and involvement, the partners of HBSC have built and maintained successful business ventures, including Access Financial Network, JMJ Financial Inc., SRG Financial Inc, RB Production Rentals, Coasters Environmental, Westcliff Medical, Stingrays Baseball, and Prevail Baseball. All of these organizations have experienced significant growth and profitability. Our strong and robust track-record has prepared us for the development and operation of a high-quality sports facility in the Huntington Beach Sports Complex. In March of 2020, prior to the COVID pandemic, we formed Stingrays Baseball, Inc., a non-profit dedicated to Huntington Beach youth baseball training and player development. In the last year the “HB Stingrays” has realized a 300% rate of expansion in our membership, opened a training facility, and continues to expand training and development opportunities for our members. This growth occurred, not-for-profit, while continuing our “day jobs”, and in the midst of a global pandemic. We feel that this best exemplifies our ability to innovate, our ability to adapt and evolve with changing community needs, and the passion and purpose with which we find ourselves serving this community. HBSC understands the funding demands, and affirms that it has sufficient access to $3M in liquid assets to allow proper funding of the operations. RYAN GALE EDUCATION Finance University of California, San Diego Raised in downtown Huntington Beach, Ryan is a proud product of HB public schools, worked in downtown, and has started a handful of successful HB businesses.

Since selling JMJ Financial in 2016, Ryan has served an advisory role for local startups and small businesses, including Prevail Baseball in Huntington Beach, a local youth baseball organization, which has grown from 12 to over 300 kids during his tenure. Ryan is dedicated to “leaving it better than you found it,” and recently purchased Mesa Verde Preschool with the intent of transforming and improving this much needed resource in the Costa Mesa community. 208 JERRY MARCHBANK EDUCATION MBA, Organizational Leadership National University Born in Huntington Beach, Jerry grew up at the athletic facilities at Golden West College, where his father served as the long-time athletic trainer.

Jerry began his, now 23 year, professional career at the Coast Community College District where he serves as the Senior Director of Facilities Planning and Construction. Over the last decade, Jerry has overseen more than $1B in capital development at Coastline, Golden West, Orange Coast Colleges, transforming our local community colleges. He recently led a public-private partnership effort to finance, develop, and operate student housing at Orange Coast College, a concept that now serves as a model capital development strategy for schools. Jerry also serves as a Board member for the Community College Facilities Coalition, providing leadership and legislative advocacy on facilities issues in California and is a member of the HB City School District bond oversight committee. MATT OLMSTEAD EDUCATION Business Administration Arizona State University Having lived in Huntington Beach for over 20 years, Matt has become close with many local residents, business and community leaders, and several sports figures that continue to represent the City.

PROJECT VISION Create a place that supports an active, wellness-oriented community, promotes passion for sports, and makes Huntington Beach a premier destination for youth sporting events in Southern California. B. OPERATING PLAN While we dream of the Huntington Beach Sports Complex someday being a “must visit” youth sports experience like Florida’s Space Coast, Myrtle Beach, and even Cooperstown, we know that will be a gradual process. We believe that we have an operating plan that will have an immediate impact on the Sports Complex experience. Through process improvement and community outreach, we will activate the existing facility. We feel that the site can be…and should be a hub of HB activity…everyday! We have outlined some of the immediate measures that we intend to take, all while we continue to assess the site use, better understand the community needs, and collaborate on opportunities to take the Sports Complex to the next level. Partnership with OC Sports Commission Huntington Beach resident, former President of the Anaheim Ducks & Honda Center, and Chairman of the OC Sports Commission, Tim Ryan, is a long-time friend of HBSC Partners. OCSC has extensive experience in the operation of sports venues and currently operates the largest sports venues in the County including the newly developed Great Park. OCSC hosts over 65 major events per year and has been the winner of the Sports Tourism Organization of the Year for three consecutive years. OCSC is focused on “bringing the Olympics to OC” and has agreed to partner with HBSC to ensure the success of the HB Sports Complex. Online Reservation System In an effort to improve ease of access, HBSC intends to implement an online reservation system. This will allow our local teams and organizations to reserve facilities without the hassle of having to come to the complex to do so. To us, increasing the communities use of the Sports Complex starts first with making the site more accessible to them. Additionally, a web-based platform will give the Sports Complex the ability to manage registration for upcoming tournaments and events as well as a place to promote our community partners, hospitality options for visitors, and showcase all that Huntington Beach has to offer. We have included a sample of web homepage in the Exhibits section (Exhibit A). Marketing & Outreach There are many local sports teams and organizations that currently utilize or could utilize the Sports Complex practice facilities. We will reach out to those teams/organizations to share the management transition, implementation of our new reservation system, and immediately begin to reinforce our continued commitment to serving local teams. Positive experiences are at the foundation of what we do, and customer service will be a top priority. Southern California, and Huntington Beach specifically, has a rich history of incredible athletes, trainers, and coaches. Many of these individuals have developed very successful and effective camps, clinics, and development programs in their respective areas of expertise. HBSC has relationships with many of these coaches and mentors, and intends to work with them to ensure that the Sports Complex becomes the hub for these programs. 211 Huntington Beach serves as a perfect location for regional and national sports organizations to host events. Organizations like United States Specialty Sports Association (USSSA), National Championship Sports (NCS), Triple Crown Sports, Perfect Game USA, Premier Girls Fastpitch, and the California State Soccer Association, would all jump at the opportunity to hold their events here. We intend to reach out immediately and facilitate scheduling tournaments with these third-party organizers. Staffing HBSC intends to hire a full-time Operations Supervisor, we realize the important role that this facility plays in our community. We propose working with the City operations team in order to ensure a smooth transition that aligns with the City’s expectations. The Sports Complex will provide hourly jobs for local workers. It provides a tremendous opportunity to teach our employees essential skills in people management, time-management, reliability, coordination and problem solving, and the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in decision-making. The sports industry will top $614B in 2022, careers in the sports business are rising in popularity, and four of local universities (Chapman University, Concordia University, CSU Long Beach, UC Irvine) offer degrees in Sports Management. We will explore partnerships to offer internships for these aspiring sports business professionals. Local Business Partnerships The Sports Complex is more than an event venue, but an opportunity to showcase all that Huntington Beach has to offer. We have met with Visit Huntington Beach to begin collaborating on “destination marketing” that will provide a connection between Sports Complex activities and our local hospitality businesses. We feel that this partnership with Visit HB will not only benefit HB businesses, but provide an improved experience for our Sports Complex visitors. HBSC understands the critical importance of coordinating on-site food services with the existing food services provider. Food is a basic premise of hospitality, and a fundamental element of the event experience. We will work with Primo Nosh to ensure a service level and value that makes the Sports Complex a successful event host. The Sports Complex also provides great opportunity to engage our local vendors. Perhaps it is a weeknight Farmer’s Market that allows parents to shop while kids are at practice, sports equipment/apparel providers setting up “pop-up shops” during tournaments, or our local businesses exhibiting the best of HB hospitality. These are the opportunities that will create memorable experiences. C. OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH Practice/Game Insurance: HBSC understands that the current use of the Sports Complex may be limited by the inability for teams to obtain the requisite insurance coverage. In order to eliminate this barrier and make the complex more accessible for our local teams and community events, HBSC would like to explore the potential of providing this coverage as an optional addition to the facility rental fee. Capital improvements: With the City’s world-renowned travel reputation, the inherently active lifestyles of our residents, and an endless summer…the Huntington Beach Sports Complex is uniquely suited to become a premier destination for sports training and events. While we understand that building this dream facility may take time, HBSC firmly believes that the Sports Complex can become a nationally-recognized stage. The 2028 Olympics could open the doors to this reality sooner rather than later, as the HB Sports Complex would be a perfect practice facility when the world’s best athletes come to Southern California. Like Huntington Beach, we dream big…and we have taken a moment to imagine some future capital improvement opportunities (Exhibit C). We look forward to continued dialogue with the City and community stakeholders as we work to make this dream a reality. Parking: HBSC recognizes that the RFP specifically excludes management of the current metered parking lot. However, we would like to explore the possibility of collecting a team “gate fee” (prepaid parking) for tournaments/events. Not only do we anticipate that this fee would exceed the realized meter revenue, but it would be more convenient for the attendees and remove what could be a deterrent to visiting Sports Complex events. 212 Hosted Tournaments: Beyond just a renting the facility to third-party event hosts, we feel that hosting tournaments provides a greater opportunity to get our community involved in the Sports Complex experience. This will ultimately help transform the sports complex from a place to play sports into a “sports experience” that showcases our great City. The current site, and the space in-between the fields, provides great opportunity. Games being played, food being served, vendors and artisans showcasing their products, bike rides through Central Park (or down to the beach), this is how Huntington Beach should be represented. D. REVENUE POTENTIAL HBSC recognizes the City’s objective to enter into a profit-sharing program for this site. Furthermore, in selecting us as you partner, we believe that the City shares in HBSC’s transformational vision for The Sports Complex. Expanding programs and services for our community will require additional operating capital and a sustained capital investment. HBSC is prepared to negotiate a revenue sharing formula that not only relieves the City of its costs associated with this complex, but provides a source of continued capital improvement for The Sports Complex and creates a sustainable revenue stream for the City. Based on our understanding of the mutual objectives for the site, HBSC would propose an estimated 12-20% share of site revenue composed of two elements: (1) a share of the gross revenue to be provided directly to the City general operating fund and (2) a share of gross revenue be provided to the City for the purpose of funding Sports Complex capital expenditures (Cap-Ex). We expect that the expanded Sports Complex operations will “stabilize” in the initial years of this agreement, allowing for a potential increase in the City’s revenue share after the initial three-year agreement. In addition, HBSC will work with Primo Nosh Chefs, to provide food services for an increased number of events & activities. As a result, we anticipate growth in the City’s parking and food service revenue streams at the site. E. COMMUNITY IMPACT AND GIVING BACK Developing the Sports Complex into a premier competition facility, not only provides direct revenue to the City, but a significant economic opportunity for our local businesses. Between hotels, food, shopping, and attractions, we anticipate upwards of $250,000 being spent in our local establishments on tournament weekends. We want to build that connection between the Sports Complex activities and our local businesses by directly involving vendors at tournaments, providing coupons and advertising for local restaurants and activities, and providing resources for hotels and other hospitality services. However, the impact goes well beyond financial benefit. It’s an opportunity to create something that better serves our local community. A facility that provides a safe, diverse, and inclusive place for young athletes to come together. It provides job opportunities for locals, both at the Sports Complex, and the HB businesses that need to support increased activity. Lastly, we envision the Sports Complex hosting non-profit camps, clinics, or sports leagues that provide access to our incredible sports resources for those whom may not otherwise have the financial resources. The Sports Complex has the power to change our community…and we only hope that we are able to give back, what a lifetime of sports has so gratefully given to us. 213 D REFERENCES & TESTIMONIALS 214 LIST OF REFERENCES Michelle Turner Owner Sugar Shack PH: 714-536-0355 Benji Medure Head Baseball Coach Huntington Beach HS PH: 951-764-9411 Sam August Owner/Partner Robert August Surf Company PH: 714-914-7966 Bobby Dejardin Scouting Supervisor New York Yankees PH: 813-334-7250 Toby Reece Owner/Restauranteur Ola Mexican Kitchen PH: 562-714-6921 Jamal Abdelmuti Owner/Operator Jacks Surfboards PH: 714-448-4143 Tim Ryan Chairman OC Sports Commission PH: 714-287-8670 Rich Amaral Pro Scout Baltimore Orioles PH: 714-330-1012 Steve Springer Founder Quality At-Bats Academy PH: 714-580-6070 Bob Bolen Owner Huntington Beach Realty PH: 714-960-8541 Moe Kanuodi Owner Main Street Eyewear PH: 714-536-6300 Josh Reidt Owner Reidt Fitness Systems PH: 949-395-1219 215 To Whom it may concern: My name is Steve Springer and I am a former professional baseball player with the Cleveland Indians and New York Mets.

Financial Impact: The proposed contract could generate $300,000 per year in General Fund revenue for the City of Huntington Beach in exchange for Public Safety Helicopter Services for the City of Irvine. During the proposed three-year contract, revenues will be deposited into Business Unit 10000100, Object Code 46870. Recommended Action: Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the “Services Agreement for Public Safety Helicopter Support Between the City of Huntington Beach and the City of Irvine.” Alternative Action(s): Do not approve and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: Upon the dissolution of the Airborne Law Enforcement Services (ABLE) Joint Powers Authority in 2011, the City of Irvine was left without public safety helicopter support services. Since then, Irvine has contracted with the City of Huntington Beach for public safety helicopter services. The current contract with Irvine for helicopter services expired on June 30, 2021. Partnering with the City of Irvine allows the City of Huntington Beach to allow for cost recovery for our aircraft and crew while providing enhanced public safety to a neighboring city. Beyond the cost recovery that shares some of the fiscal burden of operating an airborne law enforcement unit, this agreement and partnership with an adjacent jurisdiction directly and indirectly benefits both cities City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/1/2021Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™273 File #:21-614 MEETING DATE:9/7/2021 through crime prevention; the rapid apprehension of suspected criminals; the reduction of the inherent risks associated with vehicle pursuits; and public assistance incidents the aircraft provide, including locating missing persons, rescues, and the prevention of accidents and dangerous situations. This regional and more centralized approach to airborne law enforcement is supported by the ‘2018 Orange County Grand Jury Report: Competition or Collaboration: Orange Countys Public Agency Helicopters <https://www.ocgrandjury.org/pdfs/2017_2018_GJreport/2018-06-22_GJ_Helicopter_Report.pdf>, and allows for more predictable budgeting for both entities. The City of Irvine is requesting Public Safety Helicopter Services from Huntington Beach at the hourly rate of $800 for the first two years of the contract and $835 per hour for the final year. The hourly rate would be adjusted yearly based on the change in the Metropolitan Consumer Price Index. The proposed contract includes a 60-day opt- out clause for either city. Environmental Status: Non applicable. Strategic Plan Goal: Non Applicable - Administrative Item Attachment(s): 1.

That planning effort has led to the development of a plan to implement a musical stage and an ice skating rink at Pier Plaza for the period between mid-November through early January 2022. After researching vendors, Seaside Ice, LLC DBA Ice-America (Ice-America) has proposed to install a portable outdoor ice-skating rink for the City, to be operated and managed by Ice-America, which will be supplemented with musical acts at a stage that will be installed in Pier Plaza. This will be a special holiday season event for city residents and visitors. The initial term of the agreement is three years with two possible one-year extensions. Financial Impact: If approved, the overall program will cost $150,000 to implement. Funding is available in the Specific Events 101 Fund for the current fiscal year. Recommended Action: A) Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an “Service Agreement Between the City of Huntington Beach and Seaside Inc, LLC DBA Ice-America for Huntington Beach Pier Plaza Outdoor Ice Skating Rink”; and, B) Authorize the appropriation of $150,000 from Specific Events Fund 101 for FY 2020/21 to account 10145101.695.05. Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the recommended actions, and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/1/2021Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™287 File #:21-655 MEETING DATE:9/7/2021 As the peak season of Specific Events at the beach comes to a close at the end of October, there is a need and opportunity to activate Pier Plaza and the surrounding area during the later months of the year. In particular, staff researched several options to offer our residents and visitors a healthy, family -friendly, and fun Pier Plaza environment during the holiday season. Our event team learned that several cities have had great success with temporary ice skating rinks and began to look for possible opportunities for this upcoming winter season. Upon further research with our Finance Department, staff was able to identify that the City of Temecula had recently contracted with Ice-America for the provision of an ice skating rink (Attachments 1 & 2). Since the City of Temecula had contracted with Ice-America through a competitive bid process, the City is able to use that process in recommending award of the contract to Ice-America. This process is authorized through Huntington Beach Municipal Code section 3.02.190(C) 2. Ice-America has been providing ice rink services since 2008, and has worked with many municipalities to offer community oriented ice attractions during all seasons. Additionally, their partner, Ice-World has been operating ice rinks since 1996. Ice-America is the exclusive distributor of the Ice-World aluminum ice rink system in the U.S.A. and Canada and partners with several major vendors for the installation and operation of the ice-rink event. This highly engineered system by Ice- World is installed annually in over 600 locations worldwide. Ice-America will designate an experienced project manager for the Huntington Beach Pier Plaza Ice Rink, in addition to a General Manager and Ice Technical Director remaining on site during the operations term. Ice-America will provide all necessary technical information to the City and support City efforts to identify, and obtain the required permits marketing and sponsorship opportunities. Ice- America will provide professional on-site management, customer service, liability-prevention and public safety as their turnkey management and day-to-day operations. The portable ice-skating rink dimensions are 82’ x 50’ or approximately 4,100 square feet. The capacity of the rink is 164 skaters. The dates and hours of operations are proposed to be November 26, 2021 - January 2, 2022, from 2:00 pm - 10:00 pm, Monday - Thursday; 10:00 am - 11:00 pm on Friday and Saturday; and 10:00 am - 10:00 pm on Sundays. Weekday hours would be expanded while schools are out of session for winter break. This will provide ample time for residents and visitors alike to enjoy an amazing ice skating experience amidst our vibrant downtown area with the back-drop of our world famous Huntington Beach Pier. Individual admission to the rink will be $12 .00, and ice skates will be available to rent for $5.00 per person. As proposed in the agreement, the City’s share of this cost is a fixed production fee of $150,000 for year 1. Further, once Ice-America has been fully compensated for its costs, surplus event revenue will be a shared percentage of 65/35 between Ice-America and the City, respectively. The City will retain sponsorship rights and related revenues and compensate Ice-America at standard rates for sponsorship related deliverables such as private ice time, admission tickets, signage design and production, and audio announcement design and production. Ice-America will retain a 20% commission on any Ice-America derived sponsorship sales approved by City.

A budget of $28,500 was proposed for upgrading and remodeling the inside and outside of the building with an approximate timeline of 12-17 weeks to complete the improvements. Projected sales for the first three years are estimated at $435,000-$635,000 based on 100-110 sales per day at an average of $12-16 per sale and assumes 15% growth per year with a net profit margin of 13-20% (not inclusive of the owner’s salary). ·Ruby’s Hospitality Group, LLC - In 2018, Ruby’s Diner entered into a Chapter 11 bankruptcy process to reorganize its obligations and ownership. In November 2020, Casbure Management, LLC acquired the master franchise rights and formed Ruby’s Hospitality Group, LLC. The principal owners include: Casbure Management, LLC (affiliate of West 5 th Street Partners); Todd Spector, an individual; Eric Kurtzman, an individual; and Joe Micatrotto, an individual. The proposed concept from the new owners of the Ruby’s brand includes constructing an adapted version of the classic Ruby’s Diner that utilizes a walk-up window for guest service and a modified menu to streamline operations and conform to existing space limitations. The projected budget for improvements is approximately $520,000 with plans to open within 12-14 weeks of receiving permits. Projected sales for the first three years range from $1.1 - $1.4 million with a 4-9% net profit margin. Proposed rent includes a base rent figure of $90,000 annually with percentage rent to be determined but preference would be for a long-term, flat rent structure. The owners would pay the cost of all improvements and guarantee the lease. ·Surf City Partners, LLC - This local team with hospitality and franchise experience includes Jeff Bergsma (Design/Construction/Maintenance), Keith Bohr (Government Approvals), Paul Motenko (Restaurant Food and Beverage/Operational Systems), and Sharon and Adam Go (Restaurant Systems/Recruitment/Training). The concept is a “locals” eatery named Huntington’s which would offer high quality comfort food and beverages (fine wines, locally crafted beers and libations), outdoor dining, surf line views, and occasional live music. The eatery would be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner with an estimated check average of $22.62, 90-minute table turns, a 130 person occupancy (49 inside & 81 patio), and 340 days of operation. Additionally, there would be two mobile retail carts for fishing pole rentals, the sale of bait and tackle, and the sale of coffee, hot chocolate and bottled water. The projected budget for improvements is $532,000 with a project timeline of approximately seven months (four months for permit approval process and three months for construction) with the goal of opening by May 2022. Projected sales for year one are $1.5 million with an increase of 66% in year two ($2.5 million) and another increase of 10% in year three ($2.75 million) with a 5-8% net profit margin. Proposed annual base rent is $180,000 which is 7% of sales based on the year two revenue assumption. Preliminarily, the cost of improvements is proposed to be financed using a one million dollar loan commitment with a 10- year term at 5% interest. Assessment of Qualifications Staff and NDC performed an analysis (Exhibit 1) of the submitted proposals and on August 11, 2021, a summary of the top three finalists was presented to the City’s Economic Development Committee (EDC). While all three respondents offered compelling visions and demonstrated experience operating successful businesses, the feasibility and viability of the concepts varied greatly with City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/1/2021Page 3 of 5 powered by Legistar™407 File #:21-653 MEETING DATE:9/7/2021 operating successful businesses, the feasibility and viability of the concepts varied greatly with respect to their degrees of risk for failure. After careful consideration of each proposal, including a review against industry standards and entitlement requirements, the EDC recommended Ruby’s for the concession space. Ruby’s desire to revitalize the brand and relaunch this iconic burger chain with a fresh take offers the return of a beloved, community and family-oriented amenity that has strong brand recognition at the Huntington Beach pier. Although the new ownership entity was recently formed, the principals have extensive experience and strong financial assets, which depict a high-level of competency to implement a successful business operation. Additionally, the lease revenue proposed is almost double the existing rent,and the site will be enhanced without triggering major entitlements. Ruby’s was a favorite for its location, prices and retro-style,and its reopening in close proximity to its original location will provide locals and visitors with a memorable and nostalgic pier experience. Let’s Go Fishing offers the lowest risk to the City and is a profitable, established and successful business with a proven record. The proposal is similar to the products and services currently offered with comparable annual revenues and minor improvements to the building. If there is desire to maintain the status quo with a concessionaire that sells fishing supplies and convenience store items, the City Council could alternatively select Let’s Go Fishing. Surf City Partners offers the highest proposed revenue potential by completely reimagining the site. This proposal is also the most ambitious with required entitlement approvals (i.e., coastal commission, parking, outdoor dining for 81 seats, ABC license for alcohol sales) given the intensification of the use and scope of improvements to the property. Upon review, the construction timeline and revenue projections appear aggressive with revenue highly dependent on sales during the summer months and 40% of sales derived from alcohol (typical restaurant 20-30%). Additionally, because improvements are anticipated to be funded using debt, this proposal is riskier than the other two finalists should actual revenue be lower than anticipated. However, if there is a desire to create a unique dining establishment on the Pier, the City Council could alternatively select Surf City Partners. Exclusive Negotiating Agreement Given the EDC’s consideration of each proposal and its recommendation of Ruby’s, staff is seeking Council authorization and direction for the City Manager to execute an ENA with Ruby’s for 180 days to negotiate the terms of a lease agreement, establish duties and obligations between the parties, and conduct due diligence. Approval of an ENA does not obligate the City to enter into a lease agreement. A lease of the site will require separate City Council approval. An ENA will provide an opportunity to analyze the feasibility of pursuing the project while addressing various issues related to the change of use and proposed remodel. Such lease terms and obligations include the following: ·Use, Term, Rent, Minimum Days/Hours of Operation, Maintenance, etc. ·Design of Building Plans ·Approvals including a Conditional Use Permit from the Zoning Administrator, Review by the Design Review Board for the building’s design, colors, signage and materials, a Coastal Development Permit processed and approved by the Coastal Commission, and any applicable requirements related to outdoor dining, parking, and outdoor sales City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/1/2021Page 4 of 5 powered by Legistar™408 File #:21-653 MEETING DATE:9/7/2021 ·Establishment of a Schedule of Performance and Entitlement Milestones Additionally, this ENA period will allow the current tenant, Let’s Go Fishing, to continue its lease and operations while Ruby’s obtains all necessary permits rather than leaving the concession vacant during this period. Environmental Status: Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment, do not constitute a project. If negotiations are successful, a lease agreement will be brought forward for City Council consideration and an environmental assessment will be conducted at that time.

Ruby’s Hospitality Group, LLC Ruby’s Hospitality Group, LLC and its affiliate, RD Franchise Systems, LLC, are the master franchisor for Ruby’s Diner, a restaurant chain aesthetically designed after the American diner of the 1950’s serving a menu that includes classic American hamburgers, French fries and milkshakes. The first Ruby’s Diner opened on December 7, 1982, in a converted bait shop at the end of the Balboa Pier in Newport Beach, California. At its peak, the restaurant chain included 41 locations of company-owned and franchise units mostly focused in Southern California. Since its founding, Ruby’s Diner has been a staple of locals and visitors alike synonymous with California surf city lifestyle with iconic pier locations throughout Southern California including the former location at the iconic Huntington Beach Pier. Today there are 19 Ruby’s Diners located predominantly in Southern California. In 2018, the company-owned stores and franchise system of Ruby’s Diner entered into a Chapter 11 bankruptcy process to reorganize its obligations and, ultimately, its ownership. Casbure Management, LLC successfully acquired the master franchise rights of Ruby’s Diner in November of 2020 and formed Ruby’s Hospitality Group, LLC to actively revitalize the iconic brand and relaunch the California hallmark across the nation with a fresh take on the timeless brand. The principal owners of Ruby’s Hospitality Group, LLC are listed below. 412 - Casbure Management, LLC - Todd Spector, an individual - Eric Kurtzman, an individual - Joe Micatrotto, an individual It is the intention of Ruby’s Hospitality Group to construct a modified version of the classic Ruby’s Diner at the City-owned concession building, utilizing a walk-up window for guest service and a modified menu to streamline operations and conform to the existing space requirements. A conceptual rendering of the proposed development and a sample menu for illustration and discussion purposes was included in the proposal. Their proposal would not require a modification to the existing footprint although enhancements to the current mechanical systems may be necessary. Additionally, the proposal was flexible in design & scope with either re-constructing the existing structure or beautifying and improving upon the existing structure without a full reconstruction. In addition to the projected budget for proposed improvements, Ruby’s Hospitality Group remains interested in discussing and contributing further towards pier improvement plans that would enhance seating or beautification of the surrounding areas. Budget to be determined based on the City’s needs and vision. Projected Improvement Budget, Timeline and Proforma  $520,000 projected budget for improvements based on a review of the building, mechanical and architectural documents & knowledge of the modifications that would be necessary for the intended use. This includes $275,000 in construction costs, $200,000 for equipment and $45,000 in soft costs.  If approved by the City, the group is committed to move quickly to complete full architectural & mechanical drawings of the building in order to submit a tenant improvement permit.  Construction will commence immediately upon receiving proper permits and construction is expected to be complete within 12–14 weeks, barring any unforeseen issues.  $1.1MM - $1.4MM in sales projected for the first 3 years.  30% COGS expenses  28-29% Payroll related expenses  33-37% other SGA expenses  4-9% net profit margin  Their analysis accounted for a base rent figure of $90,000 annually with percentage rent to be determined and expressed a preference for a fair, long-term flat rent and a minimum lease term of a 15 - 20 years, with extensions. Strengths  Extensive hospitality & franchise experience of the principles  Strong brand recognition of Ruby’s Diner and community support for its reopening.  Todd Spector, principle of Casbure & ASNY, has substantial personal assets to contribute to the project as evidenced by a letter from JPMorgan indicating balances well in excess of the total project costs of the proposal as of 6/24/21.  Guarantee of lease agreement by West 5th Street Partners, an affiliate hospitality holding and investment company with revenue in excess of many millions in 2020 and liquid assets well in excess of the total project costs of the proposal as of 12/30/20.  Sophistication, experience & transparency of the submittal indicates a high of level competency for a project of this type and the principles’ ability to successfully execute.  While each project is unique, Ruby’s Hospitality Group principals have extensive experience in the design, build-out, and construction management of similar projects and commercial restaurant units having completed more than thirty full service and fast casual franchise units nationwide. 413 Weaknesses:  Recent bankruptcy of franchise and new company ownership as a result of reorganization  Start-up/re-start nature of business operations  Ruby’s Hospitality Group, LLC was formed in 2020 upon the acquisition of the master franchise rights of Ruby’s Diner and therefore does not have three years of audited financial information, nor does it have filed tax returns as requested. However, in order to demonstrate the financial wherewithal of Ruby’s Hospitality Group, they submitted proof of funds, audited financial statements and tax returns for West 5th Street Partners who will guarantee any lease agreement executed on behalf of Ruby’s Hospitality Group, LLC.  Lack of operations during the construction/redevelopment phase of the proposal due to the assumed entitlement requirements of a Coastal Development Permit from the Coastal Commission.

Weaknesses:  Lack of current financial information: 2021 year-to-date income statement and balance sheet were not submitted. Although sales reports for January to June 24, 2021 were submitted.  Lack of sophistication in the financial reporting & accounting systems in the submittal indicate a lower of level competency for substantially scaling up the business beyond current levels and the principle’s ability to successfully execute a project of a larger size.  Lack of details around the extent of the upgrades & remodeling proposed make it unclear whether operations would remain continuous during the process or if the business would need to close for a period of time. Armijo Enterprises Armijo Enterprises operates specialty retail locations as a sole proprietorship owned by husband & wife Tony and Candy Armijo. Surf City Henna, Toe Rings and Caricatures is a retail cart business on Main Street, Huntington Beach (near the Pier and PCH).

Shade Shack Sunglasses located in Balboa Fun Zone in Newport Beach is a small retail store space at this local tourist destination next to the waters of Newport Harbor. Other than sunglasses, they also carry Beach/Resort Fashion Jewelry, hats, reader glasses, and offer temporary body art services. “The concept for our proposal is very similar to the current use.

We would like to operate a convenience or “general” store, bait & tackle, as well as other miscellaneous. We can provide a copy of the proposal which includes the concept details from the RFP that we participated in 2019 for the same property.” Strengths  More than 10 years of operating history & experience of the principles  Existing operating history with pre-pandemic gross sales of less than $100,000 annually in 2018 & 2019 and marginal net profits of 2%.  Track record of on-time lease payments. 2018 & 2019 tax returns reflect lease payments in range of $24,000-$31,000 annually.  Sales of less than $30,000 for Jan to Dec 2020 per a credit card sales report submitted.

Surf City Partners LLC Surf City Partners LLC consists of five members (bios submitted), all “OC/HB locals” that have lived and/or worked their entire adult lives in Orange County, mostly in Huntington Beach (133 years combined). Each partner brings a unique set of skills, who if selected, will collectively ensure this project receives the required approvals for permits and licensing, is reconstructed and opened in a timely manner and successfully operated for generations to come. - Design/Construction/Maintenance – Jeff Bergsma - Government Approvals – Keith Bohr - Restaurant Food & Beverage/Operational Systems – Paul Motenko - Restaurant Systems/Recruitment/Training - Sharon and Adam Go Proposed New Use – Huntington’s Restaurant It is with the vision of reimagining this world-famous, historic-landmark pier location once again recapturing the feel of an instant classic “locals” venue (i.e. Neptune’s Locker) to be enjoyed year-round by HB locals and visitors alike in mind that locally based Surf City Partners, LLC (SCP), developed a “visitor-serving commercial” restaurant proposal for the city’s consideration. SCP’s proposal outlines a comprehensive plan to process all of the required approvals to remodel, manage and operate Huntington’s as a “locals” eatery that would provide high quality comfort food, tasty beverages (fine wines, locally craft beers and libations), outdoor dining, outstanding views and occasional live unplugged music. In addition to providing all of that in a great ambiance, the major focus of Huntington’s will be to create the best, friendly and FUN customer service in So Cal Huntington’s as envisioned will quickly become an “iconic” HB hotspot and the preferred place to celebrate special occasions. Huntington’s “brand” will be both retro and authentically HB. Proposal also includes two mobile retail carts, one of which will open early to service fishing enthusiasts with fishing pole rentals and the sale of bait & tackle, coffee, hot chocolate and bottled water. Project Funding The budget to cover all expenses; permits/licenses, design/construction, furnishings/fixtures & equipment and one year of operational expenses is conservatively estimated at $750,000. SCP has secured a $1 million loan commitment from longtime HB property owner Gary Daichendt, as evidenced by a letter of financial commitment and term sheet from Theory R Properties LLC as the private lender. The term sheet outlines a preliminary approval of a line of credit up to $1 million with a 10-year term at 416 5% interest rate with no pre-payment penalty and an estimated monthly repayment of $8,4000. The proposed security for the line of credit is a first lien on business assets funded by the proceeds (FF&E) and a right to assume the leasehold position. Projected Improvement Budget, Timeline and Proforma  $532,000 projected budget for improvements which includes $387,000 in construction costs, $100,000 for furniture, fixtures & equipment and $45,000 in general conditions/contingency.  Total project timeline is estimated at 7 months with a grand opening in month 8, this includes 4 months for the permit approval process and about 3 months for construction. Their biggest goal is to be open in time to catch most or all of summer 2022.  Sales projection for year one is $1.5 million, with an increase of 66% in year 2 to $2.5MM and another increase of 10% in year 3 for a total of $2.75 million.  $2.5MM in sales projected for year 2, with an average check of $22.62, 90-minute table turns, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a total occupancy of 130 patrons (49 inside seats & 81 patio seats) based on 340 days per year.  28% COGS expenses  32% Payroll related expenses  32% other SGA expenses  5-8% net profit margin  Their analysis accounted for a base rent figure of $180,000 annually which calculates to 7% of sales based on the $2.5MM year 2 revenue assumption. Strengths  Extensive hospitality & franchise experience of the principles  Company principal Paul Motenko, co-founder of both Stacked Restaurants LLC and BJ’s Restaurants, Inc., has substantial personal assets to contribute to the project as evidenced by a personal financial statement as of 7/16/21 submitted indicating balances well in excess of the total project costs in the proposal.  Business tax returns submitted for Team Design and Construction Inc. by company principal Jeff Bergsma indicate the financial capacity and experience needed to complete the proposed construction. Additionally, Mr. Bergsma and his team have designed & built more than 15 restaurants in downtown Huntington Beach alone.  Formal written commitment & term sheet from Theory R Properties Inc. to finance up to a $1 million line of credit to Surf City Partners LLC.  Sophistication of the submittal indicates a high of level competency for a project of this type & size and the principals’ ability to successfully execute. Weaknesses:  Start-up nature of business operations  Lack of historical & current financial information due to the fact that Surf City Partners LLC was formed in 2019 specifically for this project and therefore does not have three years of audited financial information, nor does it have filed tax returns as requested.  Lack of operations during the construction/redevelopment phase of the proposal due to the assumed entitlement requirements of a Coastal Development Permit from the Coastal Commission.  Proposed debt service on project financing is relatively high. However, the terms are yet to be finalized & subject to further negotiation. 417  Based on the proposal schematic submitted, entitlement eligibility for the designed use is unclear and may need to be significantly revised & scaled back in order to meet code requirements and attain permit approvals.  Proforma sales revenues & growth assumptions submitted are aggressive and may not be attainable depending on final design and the allowable occupancy level. References - MM = millions - FF&E = Furniture, fixtures & equipment - COGS = Cost of Goods Sold - SGA = Sales, General Operating and Administrative (expenses) Topics for Consideration NDC’s review, while preliminary, has raised the following topics which the City may want to discuss with the Economic Development Committee to inform their decision-making. 1. Next steps and process: Presentation to EDC at August 11th meeting, interview applicants, City Council recommendation and presentation, lease negotiation, discussion of entitlement process including intensification of use code requirements, Coastal Commission approval and/or city permit process & timeline. 2.

That particular piece of Federal legislation included state and local coronavirus recovery dollars, which will provide Huntington Beach with $29.6 million in stimulus funding to offset fiscal impacts experienced from the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on ARPA funding guidelines, the City will have broad latitude in determining how to expend these Federal funds, and to help determine how to prioritize those expenditures, the City Council established an ARPA Fund Ad-hoc Subcommittee on June 1, 2021. That committee, consisting of Mayor Carr, Mayor Pro Tem Delgleize, and Council Member Moser, has met on several occasions to review and discuss possible uses of ARPA dollars, in an effort to establish a recommended preliminary prioritization of how recovery dollars could be expended. Of note, ARPA requires that the City develop this general, nonbinding prioritization of expenditures to be incurred with Federal stimulus dollars. Further, pursuant to the ARPA guidelines, the $29.6 million in funding must be used on eligible costs and encumbered no later than December 31, 2024. Financial Impact: There is no financial impact associated with approving a preliminary prioritization of possible expenditures utilizing ARPA funds. The City Council’s ultimate decision regarding the use of the $29.6 million must be made by December 31, 2024, and will be appropriated as various projects are brought forward for formal consideration. If approved, the proposed ARPA funding recommendations are nonbinding, and can be adjusted and modified to meet evolving community needs by the City Council. Recommended Action: Approve the proposed ARPA funds spending plan for Huntington Beach, and direct staff to prepare the necessary budget appropriate documents to facilitate the adopted program. City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/1/2021Page 1 of 7 powered by Legistar™421 File #:21-588 MEETING DATE:9/7/2021 Alternative Action(s): N/A Analysis: ARPA Background On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021 into law, which allocated $1.9 trillion in economic recovery funding for families, businesses, schools, and governments impacted by the COVID-19 public health crisis. Of that total amount allocated, $350 billion was reserved for state, local, territorial and tribal governments, in an effort to support pandemic response efforts, bring back jobs, and lay the groundwork for a strong and equitable recovery. Pursuant to that legislation, the City is scheduled to receive $29.6 million ($29,606,925) in funding, 50% of which was received on May 16, 2021 as the first installment. The second and final installment is expected to be received by the City in 2022. These funds must be used on eligible costs no later than December 31, 2024. Eligible Use of Funding While the City has broad flexibility to decide how best to use the funding to meet community needs, the ARPA legislation specifically identified the following as ineligible uses: ·To offset a reduction in tax revenues resulting from a change in law, regulation, or administrative interpretation ·Deposits into a pension fund for the purpose of reducing UAL (unfunded accrued liabilities) ·Funding debt service ·Funding legal settlements, judgements, or consent decree ·Deposits into a rainy-day fund or financial reserves Given these ineligible use restrictions, preliminary ideas to place a portion of our ARPA money into a savings account cannot be instituted. However, pursuant to the program guidelines, the City may use these funds to do the following: ·Replace lost public sector revenues, using this funding to provide government services to the extent of the reduction in revenue experienced during the pandemic ·Support public health expenditures, by funding COVID-19 mitigation efforts, medical expenses, behavioral healthcare, and certain public health and safety staff ·Address negative economic impacts caused by the public health emergency, including economic harms to workers, households, small businesses, impacted industries, and the City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/1/2021Page 2 of 7 powered by Legistar™422 File #:21-588 MEETING DATE:9/7/2021 public sector ·Provide premium pay for essential workers, offering additional support to those who have borne and will bear the greatest health risks during this public health crisis ·Invest in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure, making necessary investments to improve access to clean drinking water, support vital wastewater and stormwater infrastructure, and to expand access to broadband internet Utilizing a “Public Revenue Loss Calculator” developed by the League of California Cities and California Society of Municipal Finance Officers (CSMFO), the City has identified a $42.5 million loss in revenues when compared with our pre-COVID-19 fiscal condition. This means that the City can use the entire $29.6 million that we are set to receive in ARPA funding through the “Replace Lost Revenues” category and that the City has wide latitude regarding how to deploy the funds based on City Council direction. Process & Discussion To develop a proposed ARPA spending plan, the City Council established a three-person City Council Ad-hoc Subcommittee in June 2021. The ARPA subcommittee subsequently met on July 26 and August 5, 2021, to develop and review a list of potential projects that either addressed immediate, current needs of the City, or constituted a transformative, “Plan for the Future” project with long-term positive community impacts. Staff also engaged different departments to gather information and input on potential projects / programs for further funding consideration. In developing the proposed Allocation Plan, Staff and the Ad-hoc Subcommittee worked to prioritize that projects aligned with the City’s strategic plan and policy priority areas, which are 1) Community Engagement, 2) Homelessness Response, 3) Economic Development & Housing, 4) Infrastructure & Parks, and 5) COVID-19 Response. Additionally, the Committee ensured that proposed projects reflected the community’s needs and interests, were feasible within the ARPA funding guidelines / timeframes, and advanced the City’s overall goals. Projects / programs that would incur significant ongoing financial commitments were also avoided, given the one-time nature of the funds available. Utilizing that assessment framework, the Subcommittee identified the a series of initiatives for recommended funding that either address current needs, or advanced initiatives that help plan for significant future community improvements. A list of the potential projects associated with the proposed ARPA funding allocation plan is outlined in the table below. Of note, the projects and costs highlighted below represent rough estimates, and once the priority projects are finalized by the Council, staff will develop and present more concreate budget allocation plans as each initiative is matured. Further, the proposed funding recommendations are nonbinding, and can be adjusted and modified to meet evolving community needs by the City Council.

September 2021 City Council Meeting 20447 City of Huntington Beach File #:21-625 MEETING DATE:9/7/2021 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members SUBMITTED BY:Oliver Chi, City Manager PREPARED BY:Chris Slama, Director of Community & Library Services Subject: Consideration of Options Regarding the Pier Plaza Art A-Faire Events at Pier Plaza Statement of Issue: There is an ongoing need to offer quality programmed events and activities at Huntington Beach Pier Plaza (Pier Plaza) and the downtown area throughout the year. Since the 1990s, the City has facilitated a regularly scheduled craft fair in the City’s downtown core as a way of providing increased activation. More recently, in February 2009, the City approved an agreement with the City’s existing program operator, Pam Free (dba Pier Plaza Art A-Faire), to facilitate a downtown craft fair in Pier Plaza. That agreement expired in 2012, and at this time, the City will need to either execute a new promotional agreement with Pier Plaza Art A-Faire and / or conduct a competitive process through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to identify a new operator. Financial Impact: Not applicable. Recommended Action: A) Direct staff to continue working with Pier Plaza Art A-Faire and execute a new promotional agreement for City Council’s consideration; or, B) Direct staff to issue an RFQ to identify the most qualified arts and craft fair operators and return to City Council with a proposed operator and promotional agreement for consideration. Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the recommended actions and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: In addition to many major annual and seasonal events that are held in Pier Plaza, the City has hosted a craft fair in the downtown area since the 1990’s. The operator of the downtown craft fair has been Pam Free, DBA Pier Plaza Art A-Faire (Art A-Fair). In July 2000, the City obtained a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Coastal Development Permit City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/1/2021Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™448 File #:21-625 MEETING DATE:9/7/2021 In July 2000, the City obtained a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Coastal Development Permit (CDP) to officially move the arts and craft fair to Pier Plaza from its former location in the downtown area (Attachment 1). The CUP and CDP outlined general conditions for the fair, including its weekly reoccurrence. In February 2006, the City entered into a Promotional Agreement with Art A-Faire (Attachment 2). In summary, the scope of services in the agreement permitted Art A-Faire to operate an arts and crafts fair in accordance with the original CUP, including some key obligations in which the Art A-Faire shall: ·Conduct outreach to identify artists who make hand made products who will diligently display and sell their wares ·Provide on-site supervision, coordinate logistics including setup and take down, and clean the event area ·Operate events on Fridays year-round, and Saturdays and/or Sundays at the request of the City to compliment other City-sponsored activities ·Pay a user fee established by the City of $100 per Friday and $200 per day for per Saturday or per Sunday In February 2009, City Council approved an extension of the agreement through February 2012 (Attachment 3), which included increasing the Friday user fee from $100 to $125 per day. Per the City’s Master Fee and Charges Schedule in 2009, day use charges for commercial type Specific Events were $1,100 daily. The Promotional Agreement expired in 2012, while the City’s CUP to conduct arts and crafts fairs remains in place. For the past nine (9) years, the terms, conditions, and fees for Art A-Faire have been honored by the City in accordance with the agreement approved in 2009. Per the City’s current Master Fee and Charges Schedule, day use charges for commercial type Specific Events are $1,350 daily. Art A-Faire programming has certainly benefitted the City by activating Pier Plaza when there would typically be gaps in community friendly event scheduling. The fairs continue to provide a variety of local artists a premier venue to display and sell their work, while appealing to local residents and visitors alike. However, specific event fees have increased, and our events team has received requests from several organizations to conduct similar events at Pier Plaza. That said, there is a need to formalize once again an agreement with one or more craft fair operators in order to continue to offer our residents and visitors with the value that this long standing event brings to our residents, visitors, and businesses in the downtown area. Staff is recommending that City Council consider two options to provide direction moving forward: a) Direct staff to continue working with Art A-Faire and draft a new promotional agreement for approval by the City Council. Potential deal points within a new agreement may include new flat user fees, a profit sharing model, or both; or, b) Direct staff to issue an RFQ to identify the most qualified, responsive and responsible arts and crafts fair operator(s), and return to City Council with a proposed operator and City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/1/2021Page 2 of 3 powered by Legistar™449 File #:21-625 MEETING DATE:9/7/2021 arts and crafts fair operator(s), and return to City Council with a proposed operator and agreement. City will seek proposals from qualified firms that are interested in operating an open-air arts and crafts fair. The City invites any current operators, along with other qualified firms to submit their qualifications. The City reserves the right to enter into an agreement with one or more operators, based on City’s needs and the qualifications of the responding firms. Should the City Council approve either of these options, staff will move forward accordingly and bring back for approval an updated agreement to facilitate the operation and management of arts and crafts fairs at Huntington Beach Pier Plaza. In the meantime, unless otherwise directed, staff will continue working with Art A-Faire to schedule ongoing arts and crafts fair events to ensure continuity. Environmental Status: Not applicable.

Hopkins, Assistant City Manager Subject: Approve the formation of a 2021 Charter Revision Committee to conduct a review of the Huntington Beach City Charter Statement of Issue: Per Section 804 of the Huntington Beach City Charter, the City Council must determine - at least once every ten years - if there is a need to convene a citizen’s Charter Revision Commission to review the Charter and recommend proposed revisions. A review may allow the City to identify sections of the Charter that might benefit from clarifications and revisions, as community priorities, systems, and legislation evolve over time. The last Charter Revision Commission convened in 2010. On August 3, 2021, the City Council directed that staff work to coordinate the development of a Charter Revision Committee, and details related to the formation of the proposed committee are outlined in this report. Financial Impact: Should the City Council decide to form a citizen’s Charter Revision Committee, staff recommends appointing a consultant to provide subject matter expertise and guidance throughout the revision process. Services may cost up to $50,000,which can be absorbed in the current Fiscal Year 2021- 22 City’s General Fund Budget. Recommended Action: Approve the formation of a 2021 Charter Revision Committee comprised of seven residents, individually appointed by each City Council Member, and one Charter review consultant to provide subject matter expertise and guidance throughout the process; direct the City Manager to enter into an agreement with a qualified consultant. Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the recommendation and direct staff accordingly.

However, as community priorities, legislation, and systems evolve over time, the City of Huntington Beach, as well as other local governments, intermittently revisit their Charter and identify areas that would benefit from amendments and revisions to better serve the community. Per the Constitution of the State of California, City Charter revisions may be proposed by the City Council or a citizen commission; however, those revisions are not in effect unless approved by the majority of the local electorate in an official election and filed with the Secretary of State. While a majority of Charter Amendments had been initiated by the City Council, citizen Committees present an opportunity for residents to also become involved in the process. Section 804 of the Huntington Beach City Charter directs the City Council to determine - at least every ten years - if there is a need to convene a citizen Charter Revision Committee. The last citizen Committee that successfully completed this effort was formed by the City Council in December 2008 and submitted several recommended revisions that were placed as ballot measures in the November 2010 Election (see Attachment A - History of Charter Review Committees). A detailed history of all Huntington Beach Charter Revision Committees and actions taken are available under Attachment A. However, an abbreviated list that includes the Committee’s formation dates and structure is available below: Date Range:From Formation to Ballot Measure Name Committee Structure 1/2019 to 8/2019 Duration: 6.5 months Charter Revision Ad-Hoc Committee Ad-Hoc Committee: 3 Council Members, City Manager, and City Attorney 12/2008 to 11/2010 Duration: 23 months Charter Review Commission 15 Appointees:(7 Individual Council Appointees and 8 At-Large Appointees)&1 Consultant 4/2002 to 5/2002 Committee not formed Citizen's Committee to Study Councilman Districts via Charter Amendment 7 Individual Council Appointees & 1 Consultant 11/1981 to 2/1982 Duration: 3 months Charter Revision Committee 7 Appointees (comprised of Former Mayors) 9/1976 to 6/1978 Duration: 21 months City Charter Revision Committee 9 Appointees &1 Consultant 4/1973 to 11/1973 Duration: 6-7 months Charter Revision Advisory Committee 7 At Large Appointees 2/1971 to 6/1972 Duration: 16 months Charter Revision Committee 6 Appointees and 4 Alternates 11/1969 Committee not formed Charter Revision Committee N/A 3/1965 to 8/1965 Duration: 5 months Citizens' Charter Revision Committee 15 At Large Appointees &1 Legal Consultant Since 1965, City Council has considered the formation of a citizen Committee on nine different occasions, with seven resulting in the formation of a citizen or ad-hoc committee. The table also City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/1/2021Page 2 of 3 powered by Legistar™474 File #:21-656 MEETING DATE:9/7/2021 occasions, with seven resulting in the formation of a citizen or ad-hoc committee. The table also shows that the duration of the Charter Revision process undertaken by a Committee varies widely with a rough average of 11.5 months across all instances. Lastly, past Committees have been formed under varying structures as well, with a small majority represented by 7 at-large or individual City Council appointees, as well as an outside consultant with the expertise to inform and guide the Committee throughout the revision process and help draft ballot measure language. Recommendation Should the City Council decide to form a 2021 Charter Revision Committee, staff recommends a Committee structure that can be formed efficiently and can undergo the Charter review process with few barriers. As such, staff recommends selecting seven residents, each of whom are appointed by one City Council Member who are certain of their availability, willingness to serve, and skills that can be beneficial to Committee discussions and deliberations. Staff also recommends hiring an outside consultant with extensive experience guiding government bodies through the review process in an organized and efficient manner. Staff will oversee the consultant and ensure that all milestones are met in order to meet the Committee’s timeline.

In February 2019, the City Attorney led a Study Session and recommended an ad hoc committee in lieu of a Charter Review Committee comprised of 3 Council Members, the City Manager and City Attorney. The ad hoc was approved by Council. Following meetings with the ad hoc committee, the Committee made recommended revisions which were primarily administrative in nature. The recommendations were not moved forward. 12/2008 to 11/2010 Duration: 23 months Charter Review Commission 15 Appointees: 7 Individual Council Appointees and 8 At-Large Appointees 1 Consultant In December 2008, Council Member Bohr submitted an H-Item proposing a Charter Amendment Committee. Staff led a Study Session and recommended the formation of a 15 member committee. In June-July 2009, the City received 45 applications for the 8 at-large positions and interviewed approximately half. Appointments for all 15 members followed thereafter. In June 2010, select revisions proposed by the Commission were approved and placed on the November 2010 Ballot. November 2010 Election Results: Approved Measure N - Huntington Beach Charter Amendments Failed Measure O - Huntington Beach Infrastructure Fund Section 617 Amendment 4/2002 to 5/2002 Committee was not formed Citizen's Committee to Study Councilman Districts via Charter Amendment 7 Individual Council Appointees 1 Consultant In April 2002, City Council directed the City Attorney to examine the possibility of forming a Committee. The Committee was formed and initially proposed reducing the number of Council seats to 5 and to establish districts. The Committee was not formed, following discussion at a May 2002 City Council Meeting. Some Council Members opposed a Committee due to the potential cost. "The City Council shall determine if there is a need to convene a citizen’s Charter Review Commission to conduct a review of the City Charter no less frequently than every ten years." Important Note: Not all Charter Amendments are reflected in this chart. Some Amendments have been made via City Council direction or citizen petition, and followed by a vote of the electorate, as the California Constitution allows. 476 History - Huntington Beach Charter Revision Committees September 7, 2021 2 Date Range: From Committee Formation to Ballot Measure Name Committee Structure Timeline Outcome 11/1981 to 2/1982 Duration: 3 months Charter Revision Committee 7 Appointees (comprised of Former Mayors) The Committee presented its recommended Charter revisions to the City Council in November 1981. Records do not indicate what those recommendations entailed. Following a Study Session in December 1981, the City Council conducted a Public Hearing in January 1982, but chose not to take further action on the revision. The Committee was later thanked for their work and dissolved in February 1982. 9/1976 to 6/1978 Duration: 21 months City Charter Revision Committee 9 Appointees 1 Consultant Following the Committee's formation in September 1976, Appointees met several times to present several proposed revisions including consecutive term limits for Council, their compensation, and converting certain elected positions into appointive ones.

The updated Noise Element incorporated new land use compatibility standards and guidelines to address acceptable noise levels for an expanded list of land uses and proper measurement methods; obtained input from interested parties and concerned groups during the General Plan Update process; and added an implementation program to update the Noise Ordinance, which had not been comprehensively updated since it was adopted approximately 40 years ago. The Noise Element necessitated an update to the noise ordinance for these reasons,as the noise ordinance is crucial for the protection of noise-sensitive land uses and is enforced by multiple City departments. If adopted by the City Council, the result would be a noise ordinance that is easier to comprehend and enforce, and meets the goals and policies of the General Plan. Financial Impact: Not applicable. Recommended Action: Approve for introduction Ordinance No. 4222, “An Ordinance of the City of Huntington Beach Amending Chapter 8.40 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code Relating to Noise Control.” (Attach ment 1) Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the recommended action and direct staff accordingly. City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/1/2021Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™478 File #:21-112 MEETING DATE:9/7/2021 Analysis: Chapter 8.40 of the HBMC, titled Noise Control (commonly known as “the Noise Ordinance”), was adopted in 1979 and last updated in 2012, which added the Noise Deviation permit process. However, the noise ordinance has never been comprehensively updated. On October 2, 2017, the City Council approved the General Plan Update, which amended the Noise Element. The goals and policies of the Noise Element are identified to protect noise-sensitive land uses, ensure land use/noise compatibility, reduce noise from mobile sources, and mitigate noise from construction, maintenance, and other sources. The updated Noise Element incorporated new land use compatibility standards and guidelines to address acceptable noise levels for an expanded list of land uses and proper measurement methods, and obtained input from interested parties and concerned groups during the General Plan Update process. An implementation program to comprehensively update the Noise Ordinance was also approved during the General Plan update. The Noise Element required an update to the noise ordinance for these reasons as the noise ordinance is crucial for regulating noise at its source, for the protection of noise-sensitive land uses, and for enforcement by multiple City departments. The General Plan Implementation Program N-P.3 requires an update of Chapter 8.40 to align with the standards established in the General Plan’s Noise Element,and implement the goals, policies,and programs therein. The proposed ordinance amends the Noise Ordinance to incorporate updated standards in line with the current noise conditions of the City, established state guidelines, and implement programs of the Noise Element, including: ·Definitions of noise descriptors that are relevant to the ordinance, noise generators, and noise- sensitive uses o Noise descriptors or rating scales analyze the adverse effect of community noise on people. The choice of specific descriptors is related to the nature of the noise “signature” (frequency and duration) of the source. Updated definitions for common metrics,such as Equivalent Continuous Sound Level (Leq) and Maximum Sound Level (Lmax), were added to help evaluate noise source for code compliance. ·Performance standards for noise-sensitive receptors o Noise-sensitive receptors are newly defined as residential, hotels/motels, schools, hospitals, churches, cultural land uses, public parks, and the active outdoor use areas of commercial and office uses (such as courtyards).Performance standards, such as use prohibition, restricted hours, and/or distance requirements, are added to provide clear guidance and protection from noise impacts related to construction, property maintenance, auto/recreational vehicle repair/activities, commercial deliveries, entertainment events and sound amplifying devices. Additionally, added ground vibration limits protect vibration-sensitive uses (similar to noise-sensitive uses). ·Restrictions on construction activities o Hours of construction are proposed to be revised to be more restrictive for the loudest noise generating construction activities. The new hours would limit construction hours to 7:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m., provided noise levels do not exceed 80 dBA Leq adjacent to noise-sensitive uses. Construction could occur outside of those hours at lower noise levels in accordance with the standards set in the ordinance. The proposed ordinance clarifies that noise related to typical or occasional property maintenance not subject to a building permit, including the use of domestic power tools, are not subject to the new City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/1/2021Page 2 of 3 powered by Legistar™479 File #:21-112 MEETING DATE:9/7/2021 building permit, including the use of domestic power tools, are not subject to the new construction hours. ·Noise Deviation Permit o Construction or activities that will temporarily exceed noise levels may still request a Noise Deviation Permit. The noise ordinance proposes to amend the notification and appeal period language of the Noise Deviation Permit process. Extending both periods of time from five to ten days will make the process consistent with other discretionary permits and allow additional opportunities for public input. While not a revision to the permit process, the application requirements have also been modified for clarity purposes. Applicants will still be required to demonstrate all actions taken to comply with the ordinance, why compliance cannot be achieved, and proposed methods to minimize noise during the temporary activity. These requests are infrequent and staff anticipates that they will continue to be infrequent, limited to one to two per year. ·Standards for field measurements, including equipment and methodology o Newly added standards include specific criteria for industry standard measuring tools. Specific location and methods are included to properly measure different noise levels for code compliance. Multiple departments reviewed and contributed to this amendment, particularly to clarify sections that have contributed to noise-related issues for City enforcement. The proposed revisions are necessary for efficient noise control in today’s Huntington Beach,and if adopted by the City Council, the result would be a noise ordinance that is easy to comprehend, enforceable, and meets the goals and policies of the General Plan. Environmental Status: The proposed Huntington Beach Municipal Code amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061 (b) (3) of the CEQA Guidelines because there is no potential for the amendments to have a significant effect on the environment.

City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/1/2021Page 1 of 1 powered by Legistar™502 CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH CITY COUNCIL MEETING – COUNCIL MEMBER ITEMS REPORT TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: KIM CARR, MAYOR AND BARBARA DELGLEIZE, MAYOR PRO TEM DATE: SEPTEMBER 7, 2021 SUBJECT: DEVELOP A PROPOSAL FOR A PUBLIC MEMORIAL HONORING RICK “ROCKIN’ FIG” FIGNETTI The unexpected loss of Rick “Rockin’ Fig” Fignetti on July 16, 2021 has left an indelible mark on Huntington Beach, and particularly among our surfing community. Rockin’ Fig was deeply involved in the art, culture, and sport of surfing, from providing the daily surf report on KROQ in the 1980’s to live commentary during the U.S. Open of Surfing. His involvement has helped cement Huntington Beach’s reputation as Surf City USA, and Rockin’ Fig Surf Headquarters in Downtown provided a home base for surfers who returned to our waves, time and time again. Rockin’ Fig’s love of the ocean was infectious, and the outpouring of community support following his death is a testament to his influence, his character and outsized contributions to Huntington Beach surf culture. As such, we wish to recommend a public memorial to be established to honor Rockin’ Fig in Downtown Huntington Beach, where he spent countless hours at his store or on the waves. To decide the exact location and method to memorialize Rockin’ Fig, we believe it would be most appropriate to engage the Community Services Commission and our partners at the Greater Huntington Beach Interfaith Council, who have expressed strong interest in supporting this endeavor. Among the possibilities that should be considered is a bronze plaque installed at Tower Zero on the Huntington Beach Pier. Tower Zero is also the site of a memorial plaque for Father Christian Mondor and Pastor Blaine “Sumo” Sato, beloved watermen and respected religious leaders in the community. RECOMMENDED ACTION Direct the Community Services Commission to work with the surfing community and the leadership of the Greater Huntington Beach Interfaith Council to develop a proposal for a public memorial honoring Rick “Rockin’ Fig” Fignetti. Return to City Council within 120 days to present the proposal for consideration. Furthermore, staff will inform the Fignetti Family regarding the proposed memorial and seek their input throughout the process. 503 City of Huntington Beach File #:21-659 MEETING DATE:9/7/2021 Submitted by Councilmember Kalmick - Conduct a Feasibility Analysis regarding the possible relinquishment of Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) to improve vehicle and pedestrian safety I recommend that the City Council direct the City Manager to conduct a feasibility analysis reviewing the benefits and costs associated with taking over from Caltrans the segment of PCH that runs from the City’s border with Newport Beach to Seapoint. City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/1/2021Page 1 of 1 powered by Legistar™504 CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH CITY COUNCIL MEETING – COUNCIL MEMBER ITEMS REPORT TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: DAN KALMICK, CITY COUNCIL MEMBER DATE: SEPTEMBER 7, 2021 SUBJECT: CONDUCT A FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS REGARDING THE POSSIBLE RELINQUISHMENT OF PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY (PCH) TO IMPROVE VEHICLE AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY Currently, the California Transportation Department (Caltrans) owns, operates, and maintains both Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) and Beach Boulevard as State Highways located within the City of Huntington Beach. Given that fact, Caltrans coordinates all planning, construction, and maintenance of both roads using State Highway standards and levels of service. Given that State Highways are under the jurisdiction of the State of California, any type of changes, adjustments, or modifications have to be authorized by the State. And given that State Highway standards are deployed for both roads, it is nearly impossible to institute any local safety enhancements, such as lit crosswalks, line-of-site improvements, vehicular speed reduction efforts, or enhanced multi-use pathway / bike lane protections. Indeed, the need for safety enhancements on PCH are numerous, and recent events and accidents have created an urgency around this particular matter. To that end, I believe that it would be important to study the possibility of relinquishing a portion of PCH, such that the City could take over ownership of the current State Highway , and engage enhanced local safety standards to improve the driver and pedestrian experiences on PCH within the City limits. To facilitate this process, I am recommending that the City Council vote to direct staff to conduct a study regarding the overall process related to taking over from Caltrans the stretch of PCH located at the City’s border with Newport Beach to Seapoint. The study should assess the potential future costs associated with the ownership of the street, as well analyzing the potential safety benefits that the City could achieve by pursuing relinquishment. RECOMMENDED ACTION I recommend that the City Council direct the City Manager to conduct a feasibility analysis reviewing the benefits and costs associated with taking over from Caltrans the segment of PCH that runs from the City’s border with Newport Beach to Seapoint. 505 City of Huntington Beach File #:21-660 MEETING DATE:9/7/2021 Submitted by Councilmember Kalmick - Establish Electric Vehicle Charging Station Buffer Zones I recommend that the City Council direct the City Manager to review our existing EV charging station regulations, and develop any necessary amendments to applicable land use codes to ensure that buffer zones are established to prevent nuisance noise disruptions for residential properties. City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/1/2021Page 1 of 1 powered by Legistar™506 CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH CITY COUNCIL MEETING – COUNCIL MEMBER ITEMS REPORT TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: DAN KALMICK, CITY COUNCIL MEMBER DATE: SEPTEMBER 7, 2021 SUBJECT: ESTABLISHING ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATION BUFFER ZONES The ongoing proliferation of electric vehicles (EV) has resulted in the increased installation of EV charging stations on residential, public, and commercial properties. Based on a local situation that developed in Huntington Beach, we have seen that certain types of EV charging stations produce ambient noises that can create residential nuisances if the facilities are installed in close proximity to homes. While the City does have regulations in place to control for nuisance noises, the sound that certain EV charging stations create can be within acceptable levels and still present a disruption to some property owners, particularly when such noises are uninterrupted or persistent. As such, I believe implementing additional EV charging station installation requirements, such as a minimum buffer zone between charging stations and residential properties or other sensitive receptors, is worth examining to prevent any such disruptions for residents. Further, any regulations developed should not deter future efforts to expand the installation of EV charging stations throughout the City. RECOMMENDED ACTION I recommend that the City Council direct the City Manager to review our existing EV charging station regulations, and develop any necessary amendments to applicable land use codes to ensure that buffer zones are established to prevent nuisance noise disruptions for residential properties. 507 City of Huntington Beach File #:21-661 MEETING DATE:9/7/2021 Submitted by Councilmember Posey - Adopt a Resolution in support of the Orange County Veterans Cemetery in the City of Anaheim I recommend the City Council adopt the attached resolution, which supports the development of a veterans cemetery on property owned by Orange County in located within the City of Anaheim. City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/1/2021Page 1 of 1 powered by Legistar™508 CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH CITY COUNCIL MEETING – COUNCIL MEMBER ITEMS REPORT TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: MIKE POSEY, CITY COUNCIL MEMBER DATE: SEPTEMBER 7, 2021 SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF THE ORANGE COUNTY VETERANS CEMETERY IN THE CITY OF ANAHEIM On March 17, 2014, the Huntington Beach City Council adopted a Resolution in support of Assembly Bill 1453, which called for the establishment of a Southern California Veterans Cemetery in Orange County. Initially, local veteran groups sought to have the cemetery located in Irvine, but given a variety of local considerations, there has been a recent shift in consensus as to where the cemetery should be located. Today, rather than the facility being sited in Irvine, veteran groups and various government entities are advocating that the cemetery be located in Anaheim on property owned by the County of Orange. To advance the new site proposal, on July 20, 2021, the Anaheim City Council unanimously voted in support of housing the Southern California Veterans Cemetery in their community. The proposal to build the cemetery in Anaheim has also garnered support from various Orange County and State officials, with County committing $20 million dollar towards the project. Further, the proposal to locate the cemetery in Anaheim also has the support of the Veterans Alliance of Orange County, every Veterans of Foreign Wars post in our region, and multiple American Legion posts. Given these recent developments, I am recommending that the City Council adopt the attached resolution to have Huntington Beach support the placement of the Orange County Veterans Cemetery in the City of Anaheim. RECOMMENDED ACTION I recommend the City Council adopt the attached resolution, which supports the development of a veterans cemetery on property owned by Orange County in located within the City of Anaheim. 509 RESOLUTION NO. 2021-XX A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH SUPPORTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ORANGE COUNTY VETERANS CEMETERY IN THE CITY OF ANAHEIM. WHEREAS, Orange County is home to approximately 150,000 veterans representing the third largest population of veterans in California, who have until now had no final resting place in the County; WHEREAS, the County of Orange has deeded 280 acres of County-owned land in the City of Anaheim to the Orange County Cemetery District for the purpose of building a veterans cemetery; WHEREAS, the Orange County Board of Supervisors has voiced unanimous support and allocated $20 million for the development of a veteran’s cemetery in Anaheim. WHEREAS, on July 1, 2021, a coalition of leaders representing veteran groups and other local organizations gathered at the proposed Orange County Veteran’s Cemetery site in Anaheim to express support for the proposed project location; and WHEREAS, the City of Huntington Beach, as a dedicated supporter of our veterans and their families, seeks to honor the men and women who have bravely served our country; NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does hereby resolve as follows: We join with the Orange County veterans’ community and Orange County Board of Supervisors in full support of a veteran’s cemetery in Anaheim; and further encourage other state and local agencies to support this much needed project.
