Present:
Absent:
Benton, McKeon , Miller (arrived at 4:22 pm), Mircheff, and Ray
Mulvihill , and Thompson
Assistant to the City Manager Catherine Jun introduced Charter Consultant Dr. Sonenshein , Chair
Mircheff and Vice Chair Ray of the Charter Revision Committee.
Dr. Sonenshein commended the Charter Revision Committee and noted how each member was equally
involved in the process ; when there was not unanimous consent, the prevailing members showed
respect to all Committee members; and stated all Committee members felt the ir positions were heard
and discussed . Dr. Sonenshein thanked the Council for allowing him to be a part of the process.
Chai r Mircheff briefly reviewed the Charter Review process and with Vice Chair Ray , jointly presented a
PowerPoint communication titled Charter Revision Committee Recommendations with slides entitled :
History-Charter, History-Committees, 2021-22 Charter Revision Committee, Committee Goals, The
Process (2), Phase 1 Recommendations (2), and Phase 2 Recommendations (3).
Mayor Delgleize thanked the Charter Revision Committee , staff and Dr. Sonenshein for their dedication
to this major effort.

Councilmember Peterson asked for the Committee's perceived benefits when suggesting elected officials
be made appointed officials. Chair Mircheff responded the discussions included the fact that traditionally
these positions do not set policies , but perform non-political functions that require specific experience
and expertise, such as a city manager or police chief. He added that Huntington Beach is currently an
outlier, compared to other cities, by having the City Attorney, City Clerk and City Treasurer as elected
positions.
Vice Chair Ray added that several larger cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco do elect these
positions, and explained that there are State whistleblower laws which protects employees who speak up
on any issues. Vice Chair Ray explained there are obviously two different tracks of thought and the
Committee thought it would be wise to review the options with pros and cons on each side.
Council member Peterson also asked why the Committee recommended term limits for the professional
career positions of City Attorney, City Clerk and City Treasurer. Chair Mircheff replied it was basically for
uniformity.
Councilmember Moser, considering the Measure C recommendations, discussed with Committee Chair
Mircheff and Vice Chair Ray how the ten percent number was determined, and that a percentage, rather
than a set dollar amount, seemed a reasonable solution when considering projects with extreme cost
differences, to allow Council flexibility . Councilmember Moser stated her support for making a change
from a set dollar amount to a percentage .
Mayor Delgleize clarified with Chair Mircheff that the Committee's conclusion was that a ten percent limit
should allow for routine safety or compliance upgrades , but projects with a cost above ten percent should
include opportunities for voter input, and this recommendation provides flexibility as well as
accountability.
A motion was made by Posey, second Kalmick to recess to Closed Session. With no objections the
motion passed.

Approved renaming of the former Michael E. Rodgers Seniors' Center site as 171h
Street Park (for the parkland) as recommended by the Community and Library
Services Commission; and , tabled action to formally name the community building
at the same location
Mayor Pro Tern Posey pulled this item to thank many individuals for their support and explained the
rationale for the recommended names.
Councilmember Peterson stated his support for the recommended 17th Street Park name. He explained
that back in the 1970s when the City took the Veterans Hall on Main Street from the American Legion ,
the City promised it would be replaced. Therefore, he supports naming the 17th Street community
building Veterans Hall , and suggested that recognition of Michael E. Rodgers be used somewhere at the
Seniors' Center to acknowledge Michael E . Rodgers ' focus on supporting the City's seniors .
Councilmember Peterson suggested tabling the naming the building for further discussion by the
Community and Library Services Commission.
Council member Moser stated her support for the 17th Street Park name, and confirmed with Community
and Library Services Director Chris Slama that it would be possible to name a portion of the Seniors
Center for Michael E. Rodgers. She stated she would appreciate more discussion on the issue.
Councilmember Carr stated her support for the recommended park name, and acknowledged the
American Legion was promised a building decades ago, and she supports recognizing them . She
requested more information on options available to name a wing or port ion of the Senior Center after
Michael E. Rodgers , and suggested tabling action to formally name the community building so that staff
can return with additional information and options .
Mayor Delgleize asked if it would be appropriate to have a Michael E. Rodgers room within the Veterans
or American Legion Hall.
Councilmembers Peterson and Kalmick stated support for returning to staff the naming of the community
building for further information.

Mayor Pro Tern Posey complimented CFO Bulosan for putting together a comprehensive budget that is
easy to understand and suggested that on Slide 45, "City Subsidy" should be changed to "Taxpayer
Subsidy" because if the user fee does not cover costs, then it is the taxpayer that actually makes up the
difference.
Mayor Pro Tern Posey asked staff to provide more detail regarding the new Urban Search and Rescue
Vehicle. Fire Chief Haberle stated the current process to receive Type 1 classification from OAS or USR
response requires three different pieces of apparatus, and explained the replacement vehicle will
combine the Air and Light Unit, truck, and trailer and combine it into one unit. The new vehicle will also
allow for regional responses outside of our area, and if they are state Office of Emergency Services
(OES) incidents, then reimbursement can be received.
Mayor Pro Tern Posey asked staff if the projected amount of $331,000 for Developer Impact Fees for
Parks included the anticipated fees from the Olson Townhomes project located at Talbert Avenue and
Newland Street. Community Development Director Ursula Luna-Reynosa replied probably not, because
that project had not been approved during the budget planning process. Mayor Pro Tern Posey
reminded his fellow Councilmembers who will remain on Council to remain aware that the Parks
Acquisition and Rehabilitation funds come mostly from Development Impact Fees.
Council member Peterson asked for more detail regarding the process for determining and setting User
Fees , since one slide included cost of labor, yet another slide indicated the increase was inflation based .
CFO Bulosan explained the numbers were evaluated several ways to ensure nothing exceeds the one
hundred percent (100%) maximum.
Councilmember Peterson confirmed with CFO Bulosan that the $3 . 7M in Housing are restricted funds .
Councilmember Moser noted that some fees will actually be reduced, that some changes relate to Fire
Safety inspections, stated appreciation for showing Finance Commission recommendations, and
comparing Huntington Beach fees to other local cities.
Mayor Delgleize opened the Public Hearing for this item .

tenant of the homeless shelter portion . There is no City General Fund money involved, only property
which was purchased with restricted funds .

think .
