Housing Authority Special Meeting Minutes
Page 3 of 23, September 6, 2022
City Manager Al Zelinka introduced Deputy Director of Community Development Jenn ifer Villasenor, who
noted that the purpose of the study was to outline potential financial impacts or liabilities associated with
annexing this sensitive ecosystem into the City's jurisdiction .
Monroe Roush and Jim Simon of RSG presented a PowerPoint communication titled Bolsa Chica
Annexation Study with slides entitled: Background; Map; Previous Studies & Actions; Methodology;
Stakeholder Interviews; Financial Data; Oil Taxes and Fees; Findings; Fiscal Impact; Liability; Wieder
Park; and Questions?
Director of Community Development Ursula Luna-Reynosa added clarification regarding the oil taxes and
fees which the State has made clear they will not be responsible for if the land is annexed by Huntington
Beach .
Councilmember Kalmick and Deputy Director Villasenor discussed the maintenance of the inlet, which is
currently the responsibility of the State Lands Commission .
Councilmember Kalmick stated he has no interest in acquiring Wieder Park, and Deputy Director
Villasenor explained the City 's Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) application would not be
processed without an agreement with the County. Director Luna-Reynosa clarified the County has made
clear that if the annexation moves forward the County expects all of the land to be included in a
transaction .
Councilmember Kalmick noted that fuel mitigation or management was not presented and stated there
are still a lot of unknown details, but through negotiation he believes annexation could become feasible.
He further stated his opinion that with the added 1,300 acres of open space the City could be in a
position to benefit from restoration funds from both state and federal sources.
Mayor Delgleize and Director Luna-Reynosa discussed that "park" funds for the City generally come from
Development Impact Fees, and the County has been pretty vague about their actual costs to maintain
this land because they don't budget by specific areas, and noted that some of the park equipment is at
the end of its useful life and needs to be replaced .
Councilmember Carr and Director Luna-Reynosa discussed that the Wieder Park maintenance amount
of $240 ,000 also includes servicing the acres of unimproved land.
Councilmember Moser noted she did not read the report yet, which arrived just before the meeting, and
suggested this item be brought back at a future date for more informed discussion.
Deputy Director Villasenor confirmed that Council would like to agenize continued discussion to a council
meeting in October.

Findings (Beach Path); Survey Findings Cont. (Beach Path); SURVEY COMMENTS (Other

Schedule; Beach Path Discussion; and Questions?
Mayor Delgleize shared from her experiences it appears too many cyclists are not aware of the rules of
the road, especially the younger riders, and asked how that can be addressed. Director Crumby stated
that in regards to Ebikes it is a rapidly evolving situation, and the Police Department is proactive with
training and events . He further noted that 61 percent of survey participants appear to support a
permitting/registration/training program .
Councilmember Bolton noted the community concerns regarding Ebike safety and asked for more details
on enforcement plans. Director Crumby stated that addressing evolving Ebike situations is a work in
progress . Police Chief Parra stated that officers spend a lot of time along the beach and at schools to
issue warnings, citations , and educate people. Chief Para noted that Traffic Safety Fairs,
Bike/Pedestrian Safety Classes , Bicycle Rodeos, social media video clips, as well as School District
presentations are offered .
Mayor Pro Tern Posey stated his appreciation for the information presented, especially the survey
results, and expressed his support for increasing the number of bike lanes as it will result in less
congestion because there will be fewer cars on the streets .
Councilmember Kalmick and Deputy Director Vu discussed the registration process for Ebikes used by
The Orange County Sheriff Department to educate users and track Ebikes. Director Crumby stated
moving forward the goals will focus on education . There was also discussion on the effort of the State
legislature to potentially limit municipalities for Ebike regulations, and ongoing discussions regarding
vouchers/credits towards Ebikes purchased in conjunction with older model cars taken off the street.
Councilmember Kalmick stated he supports required wearing of helmets with Ebikes, and noted his
support for encouraging Ebikes to help reduce the number of cars on the road . He suggested staff set
up an event for vendors and residents to possibly include a question-and-answer panel as an opportunity ·
to inform and educate residents .
Councilmember Peterson and Chief Parra discussed bike citations are issued for lack of helmet and
wrong-way travel which are California Vehicle Codes , and failure to obey speed limit or yield or stop
signs which are Huntington Beach Municipal Codes . Councilmember Peterson suggested that
Huntington Beach implement a traffic school component, including a fee in addition to the ticket fee, for
all bike citations issued.
Councilmember Moser suggested asking kids , such as the Youth Board , for suggestions on novel and
interesting ways to instill the importance of safety on bikes . Councilmember Moser and Director Crumby
discussed several specific ways that bike lanes will incorporate improved safety. Councilmember Moser
expressed appreciation for positive comments received from the public regarding the improvements on
the Bluff Path.
Councilmember Bolton referenced the issues with drivers doing doughnuts in various intersections and
wondered if adding round -a-bouts could be a method of curbing that behavior.

29. 22-712 Approved and authorized the formation of a Tenant Based Rental Assistance
(TBRA) Program for eligible senior mobile home owners
Director of Community Development and Housing Manager Charles Kovac presented a PowerPoint
communication titled Mobile Home Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program w ith slides entitled : Mobile
Home Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program; Background; HOME TBRA; Available HOME Funding;
Proposed Program Eligibility and Preferences; 2022 HUD Income Limits; Continuing Program Eligibility;
Next Steps (2); and Questions?
Councilmember Kalmick and Director Luna-Reynosa discussed the possibility of priority options to speed
the approval process knowing there is a lack of contractors for the homes that need rehab .
Councilmember Kalmick and Manager Kovac discussed the lottery process .
Councilmember Moser confirmed with Director Luna-Reynosa that no other programs will be affected by
the funds used for this TBRA program because unspent funds from past years are being used. There
was further discussion regarding how long the program could be funded . Councilmember Moser and
Manager Kovac discussed options with the lack of qualified licensed contractors and site inspectors
which individual homeowners select. Councilmember Moser confirmed that the Mobile Home Advisory
Board was included in staff planning discussions.
Councilmember Carr thanked Manager Kovac for his presentation to the Mobi le Home Advisory Board
several months ago, and agreed that there is still a need for more. She shared her concern for using
incredibly low Housing and Urban Development (HUD) income limits , and noted that HUD does not allow
for any flexibility, and suggested that Orange County may have funds available to assist with this type of
program .
Councilmember Bolton and Manager Kovac discussed HUD requirements which include assets as well
as income.
Director Luna-Reynosa noted that another part of the formula for determining need is Fair Market Rent,
which means there will not be as deep a subsidy.

Rental Assistance Program for eligible very-low income senior mobile home owners to provide rental
assistance for space rent; and, direct staff to return to City Council for approval of the following : 1)

Denied request from Pacific Airshow event organizer, Code Four, to approve a

payment schedule for fees and charges due to the City
City Council/PFA Regular Meeting
Housing Aut hority Special Meet ing Minutes
Page 18 of 23, September 6, 2022
Director of Community and Library Services Chris Slama presented a PowerPoint communication ti tled
Pa c ific Airshow with slides entitled : History (5); Statement of Issue (3); Fiscal Impa ct (6); Recommended
Action (3); Final Considerations (2); and Questions?
Mayor Delgleize confirmed payment amounts and dates with Director Slama .
Councilmember Peterson and Director Slama reviewed cost estimation details and share caps .
Councilmember Moser stated from her perspective , rather than includ ing revenues, th e focus could just
consider the amount of space the vendor needs and the City could subsidize that amount. She also
confirmed that Code Four re-sells the RV spaces.
Mayor Pro Tern Posey noted that he reviewed Council 's discussion on September 16, 2019, when the
parking income was projected at approx imately $100 ,000 , and asked how this year's projection of
$150 ,000 was calculated. Mayor Pro Tern Posey also noted that in 20 19 the Council's understand ing
was that moving forward the Air Show would stand on its own and shouldn't expect continued subsidy ,
due to pursuit of large sponsors ; and noted that no other event sponsors rece ive a discounted cost for
Public Safety or permit fees , nor does the City increase parking fees . ·
Councilmember Kalmick stated his disappointment in receiving a vo lum inous email about an hour before
the meeting started with details that need to be researched and substantiated . He did pull the Min utes
and Resolutions 2018-48 and 2017-44 and noted nothing states "in support of' the event.
Councilmember Kalmick said he is in support of getting cash up front , and stretch ing out payments after
the event, but is in opposition to any subs idies.
Director Slama clarified for the record that "in support of' the event was not used in the actual Resolution
for 2019, but was used in the Recommended Council Action (RCA).
Councilmember Carr stated her support for the fact that Council's intention in 2019 was to not provide
any special support for the Air Show going forward . She added that the City certainly wants Code Four
to be successful , but the City has done its part for a successful event and should not be provid ing any
more subsidies . Councilmember Carr ex pressed her concern over the fact that Code Four still owes
some payment for last year's event. She stated her opposition to providing any parking subsidy, nor
does she support offering the lay-a-way plan .
Director Slama noted that staff has been working for months with Code Four with a lot of different
scenarios over time , and added there was no formal request before the Agenda was posted .
Councilmember Carr stated that fees have been set for events, and she appreciates the time t hat staff
has put into the effort , she cannot support an attempt to re-negotiate the fees .
Councilmember Moser stated that Councilmember Carr has persuaded her on parking subsidy, and
asked how often are contract details be ing discussed this close to an event. D irecto r Slama responded
that unfortunately this is not uncommon , and added that staff has a lready started reviewing event
planning processes, and noted that a Letter of Condition , attached to a permit, is typ ic ally ready about 30
days ahead of an event.
Councilmember Peterson noted COVID-19 and last year's early cancellation, a coup le of unexpected
situations which may have impacted Code Fou r's ability to actually acquire big sponsors .
Councilmember Peterson stated his support for the staff recommendati on. Further, he noted this is an

international air show that is attracting attention around the world, the only air show that is televised on
Hulu , it is the biggest event in the country for Armed Forces recruit ing , and added the City does make
money on the event.
Councilmember Bolton and Director Slama discussed the overall economic impact of the event has not
been studied by the City, but Code Four and Visit HB worked with an independent o rganization several
years ago for an economic impact study.
Mayor Pro Tern Posey noted the 2019 event negotiation came to the Economic Development Committee
(EDC) and asked Director Slama why the EDC was bypassed this year. Director Slama responded that
staff felt coming directly to Council was the most efficient way to proceed this year based on the previous
conversations with Councilmembers .
Mayor Pro Tern Posey agreed there have been a couple of extenuating circumstances that might have
precluded sponsorship opportunity, but Council made it clear in 2019 that there should be no more
subsidies, even though subsid ies were approved for 2021 . Mayor Pro Tern Posey stated he cou ld
support a delay in fees and full reconciliation so it is accurate. He recommended a fifty percent (50%)
deposit and the $64,000 in RV parking and the nominal $17,000 permit fee.
A motion was made by Kalmick, second Carr to consider Code Four's request for a subsidy, and based
on previous approvals , grant up to $140,000 in parking and camping revenue for the 2022 event t o cover
a portion of direct staffing expenses and direct staff to transfer said amount, and/or; consider Code
Four's request to delay the portion of the fees and charges due related to direct City event staffing and
auto parking spaces , to be invoiced to Code Four following reconciliat ion of actual costs and due to the
City by November 15 ,2022. Require payment of the $17,797 in permit fees and $64 ,000 in HB RV
Campground site revenue prior to the event per the Huntington Beach Municipal Code , or; Deny Code
Four's subsidy request and direct staff to require full payment of all fees , cha rges, and HB RV
Campground site revenue in the amount of $256,963 no later than September 23 , 2022.

Director of Public Works Sean Crumby and Deputy Director Chau Vu presented a PowerPoint

Mayor Delgleize stated her support for this item .
City Council/PFA Regular Meeting
Housing Authority Special Meeting Minutes
Page 20 of 23 , September 6, 2022
Councilmember Kalmick stated his support for this item. He asked that Sunset Beach branding be
unique and different from Huntington Beach . Director Crumby confirmed that Focus Media Group would
partner to ensure that is done.
Councilmember Kalmick also suggested that Beach Boulevard shou ld be modeled after Harbor
Boulevard, and that the existing bus shelters be brought up-to-date with more than just a coat of paint.
Director Crumby noted that the financial costs presented are intended for shelter improvements.
Mr. Culver, President , Focus Media Group, shared that the over 45-year-old shelters in Sunset Beach
will be the first to be replaced. He explained that there will be sample ideas presented for consideration ,
and noted that the City's logo will be on each shelter. All 38 existing bus benches will be addressed, with
the intent to advertise local businesses . Mr . Culver also noted the importance of the C ity's maintenance
team and ability to respond quickly. Focus Media Group is excited about the option to coordinate with
Mercy House to create at least an employment stepping stone for individuals .
Councilmember Kalmick asked if Orange County Transit Authority (OCTA) has any input on whether a
shelter is needed at every bench on Beach Boulevard . Director Crumby clarified that OCTA determines
where bus stops are placed , and it is expected that part of the process will be to include OCTA in
location plans for Beach Boulevard. Huntington Beach determines the amenities available at each bus
stop .
Councilmember Peterson thanked staff for bringing forth an item wh ich has been years in the process .
Councilmember Moser stated her support for a partnership that supports local businesses , commits to
service, and offers the bonus of an employment stepping stone .

COUNCILMEMBER ITEMS
34. 22-726 Approved Item submitted by Councilmember Moser -Establishing Rules of Order
and Procedure for City Council Business
Councilmember Moser introduced this item as an opportunity to make transparency and consistency a
priority for staff, Councilmembers and the community. She said her item includes review and updates, a
process completed in public, probably through a Study Session . She reviewed t he history of the Council
Rules of Order which were established in 1961 , and noted that in 1976 the Rules of Order were repealed
and replaced with the Council Manual, and the Order and Procedures became less robust.
This effort is to promote trust and confidence in government. She stated she envisions staff going to
each sitting Councilmember, as well as former Mayors, to document the challenges they experience(d)
during meetings, and look at best practices of other cities. She described some specific situations that
could use more specific or clarified rules to be enforced by the parliamentarian . She noted there is no
intent to take away anyone's First Amendment rights , and stated the result should include the opinion of
the City Attorney.
Mayor Delgleize noted that some of the public speaker comments earlier in the evening were not
accurately describing the intent of this item .
Mayor Pro Tern Posey stated his support with Councilmember Moser's comments that the Council
Manual has evolved into a compilation of reference documents with a lot of gaps and holes. He stated
the need to codify rules of engagement regarding H Items, and noted that Council can legislate from the
dais with a minute action. Mayor Pro Tern Posey stated timing is important, and noted his support for
review of the Council Manual for the four new Councilmembers coming in .
Councilmember Kalmick stated he is a supporter of rules and sees a lot of ambiguity in the current ru les.
He noted his concerns relate to being in compliance with SB 1100, shou ld someone who does not sit on
Council be the parliamentarian, does the public comments process need to be divided into agenda vs
non-agenda items, agenda po licy, determining who speaks for the City, understanding Robert vs
City Council/PFA Regular Meeting
Housing Authority Special Meeting Minutes
Page 22 of 23, September 6 , 2022
Rosenberg Rules of Order, Boards and Commissions and how they feed up to City Council,
Councilmember training, and finally, changing "H Item" to "Councilmember Item" and clarifying the limits
of staff support time for such items.
Council member Carr stated her surprise that members of the public thought th is item would affect their
right to free speech, and noted that elected officials are restricted as to whom they can talk to, how many
people they can talk to, and what they can say. Councilmember Carr stated her support for reviewing
best practices and determine if there are ways to make meetings more efficient, more accessible, and
allowing for more people to participate.
Councilmember Bolton stated her concerns relate to Board, Commission and Committee procedures,
expectations and appointments , as well as best practices for liaisons making recommendations .
Mayor Pro Tern Posey noted that the public can speak to Councilmembers by calling or emailing and
asking for an appointment, they do not have to wait for a Council meeting to speak from the podium .
Councilmember Moser added that per the City Charter, the City Clerk is to attend all meetings, and is
responsible for recording and maintaining a full and true record of all Council meetings . She noted that
Closed Sessions should be included, but that is not currently being done , and added this to the issues for
review.
City Manager Al Zelinka, at the invitation of Councilmember Moser, stated that it appears that too much
effort is being spent on understanding routine things, and this item will help manifest the rules and
provide checks and balances for everyone.
A motion was made by Moser, second Carr that City Council provide input on the topics that are
important for inclusion in the Rules of Order and Procedure and to request that the City Manager prepare
a draft set of Rules of Order and Procedure for City Council's consideration on or before the first meeting
in November 2022.
