CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
CITY COUNCIL MEETING —COUNCIL MEMBER ITEMS REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BARBARA DELGLEIZE, MAYOR
DATE: MARCH 15, 2022
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF DIRECTION TO STAFF TO IDENTIFY
METHODS FOR IMPROVING ONGOING MAINTENANCE OF PUBLIC RESTROOMS
AT THE 6T" STREET BEACH LOT
I recently received an email from a recent visitor to our community concerning the disturbing
condition of our bathrooms located at the 611 Street beach lot. The visitor's message resonated
with me on many levels and moves me to ask my City Council colleagues to consider ways to to
address the deplorable conditions that the visitor found on that day, because I am certain that
this was not a unique experience. I say that the visitor's report moved me on so many levels,
because we have all witnessed scenes in our lives similar to that which he described and want
better for those we serve. We also aspire to remain and gain even greater traction as a premier
tourism destination for people all over the world, for the benefit of our residents and businesses.
In addition to the uncommon beauty of our beaches and top-notch downtown resorts, unique
retail shops, and bountiful restaurants, the proper functionality for all of our public places and
spaces is a critical component of our success.
I am sure that we can all agree that we have an obligation to do everything reasonable to ensure
that the City maintains public restrooms at a high standard. I am open-minded about the steps
necessary to meet this standard, including increasing the staffing level and service frequency, re-
visiting the hours of service, and other creative ways to meet the expectations of residents and
beach visitors throughout the year.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct staff to identify methods for improving ongoing maintenance of public restrooms at
various locations along the beach path and return to the City Council with a program for doing
so.
