He stated his opinion that the City Attorney , City Clerk and City Treasurer positions are not a "check" on City Council , but in fact follow policies set by the City Council, therefore they are working for the City Council, and he identified the positions as "Department Heads".

She commended the City Treasurer Alyssa Backstrom as well and expressed concern about the future talent pool for these positions.

Item# Section Description #1 300 Convert City Clerk and City Treasurer from elected to appointed Vote: 6-0-1 (Peterson-Absent) Discussion on Item #2 (Convert City Attorney from an elected to appointed role): Mayor Pro Tern Posey stated his opinion that it does not matter if the City Attorney is elected or appointed , because the authority to file a lawsuit, or not, is determined by a majority of the City Council. The City Attorney advises , and Council is free to accept or reject that advice. The checks and balances for the City Council is at the ballot bo x. Mayor Delgleiz e shared her opinion that Charter language is not clear, nor grammatically correct, and is ambiguous. She further stated that City Council asking for a second opinion doesn't remove the authority of the City Attorney. Councilmember Carr shared that her concern for this position is the same as what she expressed for the City Clerk and City Treasurer, which is the City's ability to attract the top talent for the position, and stated her opinion that elections politiciz e a position . She stated her support for clarifying the language that describes the pos ition of City Attorney, and keeping the position as elected. Councilmember Bolton stated her opinion that the current situation between the City Council and City Attorney, or who decides when outside counsel is hired, ex ists because of the lack of clarity in the City Charter wording, and efficient governance happens when the City Council directs the City Attorney on behalf of the residents . She stated that the language proposed for Section 31 O comes from other city charters that elect their ci t y attorney, and noted that the City's voters should have the opportunity to ensure the Charter promotes sound governance. Councilmember Moser stated her support for Councilmember Bolton's comments , and reiterated that the City Attorney's position is to enforce municipal code and advise the City Council. Councilmember Kalmick stated he believes Huntington Beach voters will have no problem understanding the proposed changes, which will help clear up the conflict that currently e x ists between the City Charter and State Bar rules as so well stated by Councilmember Bolton. He believes Section 310 will ensure a clear chain of command , that City Council is not micromanaging the City Attorney's office, and everyone n ~eds independent representation they can trust. City Council/PFA Minutes June 21 . 2022 Page 20 of 24 Mayor Delgleize stated her support for c larifying City Charter language that will alleviate conflict between the C ity Council and the City Attorney's office. Counci lm ember Bolton clarified her opinion that if the City Attorney's office has a conflict with the City Counci l, each side should have representation they can trust. It is not proper for an attorney to represent a client, then turn around and sue that client. Councilmember Bolton clarified with City Manager Assistant Jun that the proposed text specifies who decides the existence of a conflict if there is disagreement between the City Council and the City Attorney. Project Consultant Dr. Sonenshein confirmed that 310 (a) does address Council member Bolton's concern , and noted that 31 O (b) may have some ambiguity as currently worded, and stated that the City Manager may not be the best position to determine whether or not a City Attorney , whether appointed or elected, has the relevant specialized legal expertise. Dr. Sonenshein stated he could do more research on this if Council so desires. Mayor Delgleize and Councilmembers Bolton and Carr stated their support for further research because what was showing for PowerPoint communication item #5 does not match what is in the Charter.

Straw Vote : Motion by Kalmick, second Delgleize to approve placement of ... Item# Section Description #2 303(a) Cancellation of CC meetings Vote: 6 -0-1 (Peterson -Absent) Mayor Pro Tern Posey suggested increasing the City Council term limits to three 4-year terms, or a total of 12 years serving as a City Councilmember, and follow the model used by the State Assembly and Senate . He believes this would provide for continuity of service on regional boards which could result in the City of Huntington Beach representatives moving into positions of leadership if they so choose . C ity Council /PFA Minutes June 21. 2022 Page 21 of 24 Councilmember Kalm ick asked questions re lated the timing of the limits , when wou ld term limits start, and would they be retroactive . City Attorney Gates advised City Council could write term limits however they desire, and clarified that changes would not be retroactive. Councilmember Carr stated she is not in favor of extending term limits and noted that some of the regional boards are set up to benefit the cities that do not have term limits. She stated her opinion the fi x would be to change those regional boards, rather than changing City Counci l terms.

The motion carried by the following vote : AYES : NOES : ABSENT: Bolton , Posey, Delgleize, Carr, Moser, and Kalmick None Peterson COUNCILMEMBER ITEMS 25. 22 -548 Item submitted by Councilmembers Kalmick and Moser approved as amended - Senior Mobile Home Rental Assistance Program Councilmember Kalmick provided a brief overview of the item, explaining this Program would spend federal dollars, and funding will not come out of the City's General Fund . He also clarified that the two- year limitation applies to participants , who would only be allowed to be on the program for two years . As presented, there is no two-year limit for the proposed program . Councilmember Kalmick noted it is also important to keep helping people currently getting assistance . Councilmember Moser stated there are legitimate public concerns pertaining to rent increases, and staff will have to evaluate options. She noted that Fullerton has a great model that can be studied , and suggested staff work with Families Forward on the solution. Councilmember Moser stated that City Council is trying to provide some immediate breathing room for the City's seniors. Councilmember Carr shared her appreciation for the item being brought forward as this has been under discussion since January. She stated City Councilmembers have discussed their concerns with Assembly and Senate members , County staff, and even other city councilmembers who have rent stabilization ordinances (RSOs) in looking for a potential long -term solution that meets the needs of the residents of Huntington Beach .

City Co uncil/PFA Minutes June 21. 2022 Page 23 of 24 Councilmember Moser noted that there are multiple issues, including affordable housing for mobile home parks and seniors . She added this is a huge problem that is spurring additional conversations regard ing the housing needs of seniors everywhere , whether permanent supportive housing , affordable housing , or shared housing . Councilmember Moser suggested that everyone keep talking about the issue until solutions are provided , whether from the federal, state , county or local level. She noted the motion needs to be amended to direct staff to explore, rather than phase out, the current TBRA program. Mayor Pro Tern Posey noted there is definitely a demand for housing that greatly outstrips the supply , and as demand goes up the price goes up. He stated this looks like a viable solution to help those who qualify with federal tax dollars and not utilizing Huntington Beach General Fund mon ies. He also noted that the incoming City Council will be tasked with the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) of providing a minimum of 13,368 affordable housing units, and City Council can help increase the supply of affordable housing through smart zoning and approval of good projects . A motion was made by Moser, second Kalm ick to Direct staff to phase out the current TBRA program with existing nonprofit service providers and come back to Council w ithin 60 days with (a) policies and procedures for a Senior Mobile Home Rental Assistance Program , (b) any amendments required by HUD to redirect the exi sting TBRA program to senior mobile home residents , and (c) a staffing plan or a potential nonprofit partner to administer the new program. As amended, direct staff to bring forward recommended TBRA Program Guidelines that expands the preference to include mobile home park owners. Recommendations should be based on researching other programs and identifying best practices, leveraging existing relationships with current service providers while recognizing current obligations, and adhering to all federal regulations. The motion as amended carried by the following vote: AYES : NOES: ABSENT: Bolton , Posey, Delgleize , Carr, Moser, and Kalmick None Peterson COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS (Not Agendized ) Councilmember Moser shared belated birthday wishes for Amory Hanson.
