WHY DO A REPORT CARD?

Purpose of Report Card
• To inform the public of the current conditions of
the City’s infrastructure and to deliver the
information in the concise and easily accessible
format of a school report card.
Report Cards reach policy makers and the public
with a clear message.
Report Cards are highly effective and reinforce
ASCE’s reputation as a credible expert resource
11
ASCE-Like REPORT CARD
• ASCE criteria has been applied at State and Regional agencies but needs to be
modified at the city level to meet conditions in Huntington Beach
• ASCE Report Card lacks projection regarding the future infrastructure costs, funding
mechanisms, and funding gap. HB report will address finance.

he would like to see in future reports how overwhelming the additional enforcement has been for Code
Enforcement.
Councilmember Carr noted that one of the goals that Council expected from the Short Term Rental
program was to stop the proliferation of short term rentals and this report documents that has
happened. She also stated her support for the program used in Carpinteria which allows for a limited
number of un-hosted permits in the Coastal Zone, but becomes more restricted in other zones.
Councilmember Carr stated her interest in seeing the 2022 3rd Quarter data and suggested an updated
report when the information is available, including discussion on the fine structure for violations.
Councilmember Moser stated her opinion that if in fact Code Enforcement is being overly burdened to
enforce short term rental complaints, possibly there should be consideration of additional charges to
permit holders for that expense. Code Enforcement Supervisor Jimmy Hoang described the process
for uncovering illegal listings, providing notifications of violation and fines. Councilmember Moser
asked that more details about that process be included in future reports.
Councilmember Bolton suggested this issue be addressed again at the first meeting in December.
Mayor Pro Tem Posey stated his interest in also knowing the average amount spent by these visitors in
the area beyond their short term rental cost, and suggested maybe working with VisitHB could provide
additional data. Mayor Pro Tem Posey and Code Enforcement Supervisor Jimmy Hoang discussed the
process for verifying that a hosted short term rental is actually hosted, and not un-hosted.
Mayor Pro Tem Posey and City Attorney Michael Gates discussed the issue of illegal businesses, and
noted that Code Enforcement brings violators to the attention of the City Attorney if necessary.
Director Luna-Reynosa confirmed she and City Manager Zelinka will prioritize topics being aware of
Council's desire to have a follow-up report as soon as possible.

questionnaire at the October 25th Mobile Home Advisory Board meeting so voters can make fully
informed decisions. (01:59:30)
Carol Rohr, President of the Huntington Beach Mobile Home Resident Coalition, was called to speak
and stated the Coalition is dedicated to preserving the residential property rights of all manufactured
housing homeowners and residents in the community. Ms. Rohr noted the Coalition does not endorse

she will be voting for candidates who represent her best interests and encouraged all other mobile
home residents to do the same. (02:05:12)
Pano Frousiakis was called to speak and suggested voters ask themselves if Huntington Beach is
better off than it was two to four years ago. He stated his support for the "Fabulous Four" Council
Candidates and City Attorney candidate Michael Gates. He shared his disappointment at the recent

time for Public Speakers to the end of meetings, an option that was recently suggested. (02:07:59)
Kathy Carrick was called to speak and shared her opinions and recent examples of what she called
deliberate targeting by the City Council against citizens that dare to speak their mind in disagreement

invited everyone to come out and support the Therapeutic Riding Center. (02:14:14)
R. Allen Baylis, a resident of Huntington Beach for over 50 years and practicing attorney, was called to
speak and shared examples to support his opinion it is time for a new City Attorney. Mr. Baylis stated

Douglas Taylor, a long-time resident of Huntington Beach and resident of Skandia Mobile Home Park,
was called to speak and shared his dismay at the proposed rent increases because of the recent
change in Skandia Mobile Home Park ownership. (02:20:48)
Peter Zofrea, a resident of Edwards Hill in Huntington Beach, was called to speak and shared his
opposition to the proposed high-density zoning overlay for the Brindle-Thomas property. Mr. Zofrea
stated his opinion that turning the Brindle-Thomas property into high density, low-income housing will
increase existing traffic and parking issues, and devalue the neighboring homes. He stated support for
developing that property as originally intended to blend with the existing neighborhood. (02:24:15)
Martha Morrow, a 30-year resident of Edwards Hill in Huntington Beach, was called to speak and
shared her opposition to the proposed high-density and potential 30 percent low-income housing
zoning overlay for the Brindle-Thomas property. The Edward's Hill residents believed that any
development of the Brindle-Thomas property would be compatible with the existing neighborhood
homes. Ms. Morrow stated her opinion that as elected officials, City Council has an obligation to
protect and preserve family neighborhoods, not destroy them. (02:27:22)
Casey McKeon, a third-generation Huntington Beach resident and Candidate for City Council in 2022,
was called to speak and noted that the latest Housing Element Report is available on the City's
website. Mr. McKeon described recent history related to Sacramento officials mandating that
Huntington Beach must provide 13,386 high-density housing units, which he described as the
equivalent of 47 more high-density buildings like the Elan project at Beach and Ellis. Mr. McKeon
stated that if elected to City Council he will unleash the City Attorney to appeal the fraudulent high-
density mandates. (02:30:13)
James Sharkoff, a resident of Huntington Beach, was called to speak and stated his opposition to the
proposed high-density zoning overlay for the Brindle-Thomas property and other properties within the
City. He shared his opinion that creating more high-density housing is only going to increase traffic and
parking issues, and decrease the quality of life for the residents. Mr. Sharkoff stated he is sure that Mr.
Brindle would be very unhappy with City Council's current plans for this land. (02:32:32)
Russell Neal, a resident of Huntington Beach, was called to speak and shared his opinions related to
attacks on City Attorney Gates and specifically Administrative Items #27 from the October 4, 2022,
meeting agenda regarding the Richards, Watson, & Gershon (RWG) report. (02:34:12)
Kathy Neal was called to speak and shared her opinions related to attacks on City Attorney Gates,
specifically Administrative Items #27 from the October 4, 2022, meeting agenda regarding the

persecuting Huntington Beach citizens who hold political views that differ from theirs. (02:36:33)

and home owner associations are prepared to fight the City Council's plan. (02:39:08)
Scott Field, Candidate for City Attorney in 2022, was called to speak and shared his opinion that former
City Attorney Office employee Brian Williams acted in violation of the law and that fact was covered up
by City Attorney Michael Gates and Chief Assistant City Attorney Mike Vigliotta. Mr. Field stated if he is
elected for the position, he will keep the City Council informed of the good, the bad and the ugly.
(02:40:20)
Cindy Barrios was called to speak and shared her opinion that the way plans are implemented for high
density housing in Huntington Beach will determine the level of negative impact. Ms. Barrios stated
from her perspective, the impact on local schools has not been considered, and the great public
schools in Huntington Beach is what attracted her family from the East Coast last year. If there is a
lack of housing sites in Huntington Beach, Ms. Barrios asked where will the school sites be located for
the additional students moving into the high-density housing. (02:42:33)
Betty Bich Van Nguyen, a resident of Triple Crown Estates in Huntington Beach, was called to speak
and shared her experiences of immigrating to the United States, getting her higher education degrees,
saving money to purchase a home, and raising two children. (02:45:31)
Cari Swan was called to speak and presented a pocket Constitution to each of the Councilmembers,
stating it was apparent to her after the Council meeting on October 4 that Councilmembers needed a
reminder of the First Amendment. Ms. Swan stated her opinion that there appears to be a deliberate
assault on the citizens who disagree with Council. Ms. Swan stated her support for City Attorney
Michael Gates. (02:49:14)
Mark Currie, a resident of Huntington Beach for over 30 years, representing the Edison Park
Community Group, was called to speak and he described the considerable confusion regarding the
City's plans for Edison Park. The Edison Park Community Group has come up with their own plan and
invited City Councilmembers, City Manager, City Attorney and all 18 City Candidates running for a City
office to attend a webinar on October 16, 4 PM, to learn about the Community Group's plan for Edison
Park. Mr. Currie asked Council to look at both the City's Option C plan and the Community Group plan
to determine what works best for the residents of Huntington Beach. (02:52:34)
Julia Ciejka, a resident whose home backs up to the site proposed for high density housing, was called
to speak and stated they purchased their home because of the plans for the adjacent land. Ms. Ciejka
shared her opinion that the neighborhood quality of life as well as quality of education will suffer if the
high-density overlay is approved for the Brindle-Thomas property. (02:55:32)
Greg Strayer, a 46-year resident of Huntington Beach, was called to speak and stated his opposition to
the proposed high-density zoning overlay for the Brindle-Thomas property for the reasons already
stated. He asked that Councilmembers do some soul searching and asked how they would like to
suddenly have a multi-story apartment building looking down on their own back yards. (02:57:05)
TiTi Dang, owner of a dental practice in Huntington Beach for the past 20 years, and owner of property
that backs up to the Brindle-Thomas property, was called to speak and she noted the increase in
neighborhood crimes the last few years. Her children walk to school, and she expects increased crime
and automobile traffic, as well as a decrease in home values, if the high-density overlay is approved.
Ms. Dang asked that Councilmembers find a more appropriate solution. (02:58:49)

interact with Huntington Beach Police Department employees. (03:01:09)

Coalition Candidate Survey will assist registered voters in determining the candidates who will support
their best interests for a carve out to City Charter Section 803 to allow a Rent Stabilization Ordinance
(RSO). Ms. Hand stated that the Coalition's website, www.soshb.net, will have a copy of the Candidate
Survey results available for review. (03:04:07)

City Manager Al Zelinka presented a PowerPoint slide titled Welcome, New Employees! and noted that
29 new employees started in September.
Mayor Pro Tem Posey asked Fire Chief Haberle to elaborate on the effort to enhance ambulance
services. Chief Haberle noted that the Huntington Beach program is regarded very highly, and
explained the program is designed as the entry point with the philosophy of "Recruitment Through
Retirement". The new life guards and ambulance operators are hired on a three-year basis for their
training, after which they can move into full-time Firefighter or Paramedic positions. Chief Haberle also
noted that with increased ambulance calls, another 24-hour ambulance and a 12-hour day car have
been put into service to adequately meet the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) needs of the
community. Chief Haberle explained that by analyzing the type of call, the time of day a call is
received, and the district the call is for, trends become evident which assist in planning for staff and
type of vehicle scheduling.
Director of Community Services Chris Slama announced that Huntington Beach just received a $20,000

assessment amount protested. If written protests are received from the owners of businesses in the
proposed area which will pay 50 percent or more of the assessments proposed to be levied and
protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the protests to less than 50 percent, no further proceedings
to renew the Downtown Business Improvement District or to levy the proposed assessment, shall be
taken for a period of one year from this date. If the majority protest is only against the furnishing of a
specified type or types of improvement or activity within the area, those types of improvements or
activities shall be eliminated. At the conclusion of the public hearing to renew the Downtown Business
Improvement District, the City Council may adopt, revise, change, reduce or modify the proposed

received from seven (7) of the two hundred and fifty-five (255) businesses in the Business Improvement
District boundaries.
Mayor Pro Tem Posey closed the Public Hearing.
Councilmember Peterson noted he has received complaints from three Artisan Fair vendors that hand-
made items cannot be sold, and asked if that is still a rule. Councilmember Peterson noted if these
vendors can only sell pre-packaged items, they are then competing with all of the surrounding
businesses.
Director of Community and Library Services Slama stated he did not have a copy of the contract with
him, but to the best of his recollection there is a percentage requirement for hand-made goods, and
noted he would follow-up with accurate information.

Council/PFA Regular Minutes

Page 14 of 17
Councilmember Carr stated her appreciation for the Downtown Business Improvement District (DBID)
taking on the Artisan Fair and re-imagining it, and especially the transparency showing revenue and
expenses. She also commended the DBID for new community-based events to re-invigorate the area,
especially after coming out of Covid-19.
Community Development Director Ursula Luna-Reynosa clarified the different roles and hats that the
non-profit Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District (HBDBID) wears, and explained
that only the City Council can establish, renew or dis-establish the DBID under the Streets and Highway
Code. Director Luna-Reynosa noted that the DBID is a program, not an entity, and City Council can
appoint anyone they choose to the Advisory Board which advises on the DBID Annual Report and how
the assessment will be spent. She added that a non-profit group known as the Huntington Beach
Downtown Business Improvement District was selected by Council as their Advisory Board, and
confusion exists because of the similar names for both the program (DBID) and non-profit (HBDBID).
She also noted that the HBDBID is able to offer other programs and events of their own, beyond their
role as a City Council Advisory Board.
Councilmember Bolton thanked Director Luna-Reynosa for the clarification, and asked if the Advisory
Board has ever completed an audit, or is required to. Director Luna-Reynoso noted that in 2017 the
Finance Commission conducted an "audit" and didn't find any substantial issues, but did make some
recommendations, including developing a policy to audit all City BIDs, i.e., Huntington Beach
Downtown BID and Visit HB, every three to five years by an auditor selected by the City.
Manager Cassanova noted for clarification that the Huntington Beach Downtown Business
Improvement District (non-profit) relationship is contractual and the agreement approved in September
indicates that the BID will agree to do an audit of the previous five fiscal years at its own expense if
requested by the Council.
Councilmember Moser and Director Luna-Reynosa discussed that at one time a name change was
under consideration for the HBDBID (non-profit) to eliminate some confusion, but it is not clear at this
time if that is still being considered.
Mayor Pro Tem Posey stated his opinion that the 2017 Finance Commission conducted a "review" not
an "audit" of the Downtown District Business Improvement District (DBID) financials. Mayor Pro Tem
Posey noted that for the last four or five years City Council has requested that the DBID maintain a
complete database or robust list of all members, and the principal contact identified with ways to reach
that contact through an email or cell phone.
Councilmember Kalmick and Director Luna-Reynoso discussed that the HB Downtown Business
Improvement District (non-profit) has only an advisory position, and ultimately the City Council can
decide how the funds should be spent.
Director Luna-Reynoso and Mayor Pro Tem Posey confirmed that Customer Relations Management
(CRM) is the proper nomenclature, and includes number and amount of sales, number of employees,
and size of the space. Mayor Pro Tem Posey stated his opinion that there is not enough accountability
for the amount of money collected, and noted that many Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) across
the country are closing down because the BID delivers enough value that the members voluntarily pay
to be a member.

Council/PFA Regular Minutes
October 4, 2022
Page 15 of 17
Councilmember Moser asked if staff could determine a cost for implementing Customer Relations
Management (CRM) program or process and then Council would have accurate information before a
motion to require it.
Mayor Pro Tem Posey noted that the Planning Department is using a CRM program and suggested
there may be a way to also allow the Downtown Business Improvement District access to the program,
with the data being owned by the City. Director Luna-Reynosa stated that option had been researched
and there is no way to separate the data. Mayor Pro Tem Posey stated he is more concerned about
the need to implement a CRM program than he is about the need for an audit because he no longer
sees the anomalies between the P & L and Income Statement that were noted in 2016.
Councilmember Carr stated support for requiring CRM and doing an audit, but it would require them to
go back to the drawing board for the budget, therefore she suggested a discussion to determine if it is
feasible before mandating it.
Councilmember Kalmick stated he would expect them to find an adequate CRM program for around
$100 per month with about 15 data fields, whereas an audit would cost a minimum of $20,000.
Councilmember Kalmick confirmed with Director Luna-Reynosa and Manager Cassanova that when the
business permits are issued no email addresses are collected, and some businesses provide a
corporate address rather than local General Manager contact information.
A motion was made by Peterson, second Carr to conduct the Public Hearing; and, if written protests of
at least 50% or more of the total assessments are not received, adopt Resolution No. 2022-45, "A
Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Approving an Annual Assessment within
the Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District for Fiscal Year 2022-2023."
The amended motion carried by the following vote:

Councilmember Peterson explained many Councilmembers are being contacted by local businesses
with questions, and it should not require the assistance of a Councilmember, Former Mayor, or former
city staff to maneuver through City Hall. He stated that he envisions a one-stop program that from the
beginning can provide an accurate service centric answer for how to proceed with a project in
Huntington Beach, regardless of how many City departments someone may have to interface with. He
added that Huntington Beach is not horrible, but there is definitely room to improve.

Council/PFA Regular Minutes

Mayor Pro Tem Posey stated his support for the idea, because he believes there is room for
improvement.
Councilmember Moser noted that one of the City's core values is exceptionality, and she believes this
action supports that core value.
Councilmember Bolton shared that City Manager Zelinka assured her this action would not involve
significant up-front costs, and therefore it has her support.
Councilmember Kalmick and Director Luna-Reynosa discussed some details in the current program.
Councilmembers Kalmick and Peterson discussed the need for streamlining the process especially for
smaller projects.
A motion was made by Peterson, second Posey to request the City Manager to evaluate best practices
and implement a customer-centric, inter-departmental one stop shop system for private projects
outlined in the memo. If deemed appropriate by the City Manager, the development of a position to lead
the one stop shop with demonstrated experience establishing, leading and managing an effective one-
stop development services program could be considered. At a minimum, the City Council should
receive updates in open session from the City Manager every three months beginning January 2023
until the one stop shop is fully implemented or City Council directs otherwise.
The motion carried by the following vote:
AYES: Peterson, Bolton, Posey, Carr, Moser, and Kalmick
NOES: None
ABSENT: Delgleize
COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS (Not Agendized)
Councilmember Carr congratulated two new members of the Youth Board: Olivia Pham and Kai Wong.
Councilmember Peterson expressed his appreciation to Code Four for a great Air Show. He thanked
Public Safety for the tremendous effort and professionalism, and noted many City staff are to be
thanked for a successful event that is generating many positive public comments.
Councilmember Moser noted that she attended the 23rd Annual Sunset Beach Chili Cook-off, and
stated that the Be Well OC Annual Report and more details about Huntington Beach ranking as the 5th
Best City for People with Disabilities by Wallet Hub can be found at Surf City Break. Councilmember
Moser also reported attending the Downtown Dreamin' Input Recap at Main Street Library and
commended staff and the design firm for an excellent job.
Mayor Pro Tem Posey noted that he recently attended the International City/County Management
Association (ICMA) 2022 Convention and paid his own way because he is not a city manager. He
recommended attending the event to those serving on the City Council next year, if they can get in and
even if they pay their own way, because the experience will make them better councilmembers.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Robin Estanislau, CMC, City Clerk
PREPARED BY:Robin Estanislau, CMC, City Clerk
Subject:
Reaffirm adoption of Resolution No. 2021-62 finding a proclaimed state of emergency
continues to impact the ability to meet safely in person, and allows meetings of the City
Council and all City Boards, commissions and committees to be conducted remotely as
needed in compliance with new Brown Act provisions identified in Assembly Bill 361
Statement of Issue:
On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom approved Assembly Bill 361 (Rivas) that amends the
Ralph M. Brown Act to include a new authorization that allows all local agencies to host remote
meetings and remote public comments. The authorization, which largely extends the provisions of
the Governor’s Executive Order N-29-20 (approved March 17, 2020) and Executive Order N-35-20
(approved March 21, 2020), is in effect until January 1, 2024. To comply with the new provisions
identified in AB 361, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-62 finding a proclaimed state of
emergency continues to impact the ability to meet safely in person, and allows meetings of the City
Council and all City boards, commissions and committees to be conducted remotely as needed due
to health and safety concerns for the public.
Financial Impact:
Not applicable.
Recommended Action:
Reaffirm Resolution No. 2021-62, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach,
California, Finding that the Proclaimed State of Emergency Continues to Impact the Ability to Meet
Safely in Person.”
Alternative Action(s):
Do not reaffirm Resolution No. 2021-62 and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
A provision of Assembly Bill 361 requires local agencies to verify every 30 days that the exemption
from traditional teleconference requirements is still necessary. Specifically, the legislative body must

File #:22-239 MEETING DATE:10/18/2022
make findings no later than 30 days after the first teleconference and every 30 days thereafter that:
·The legislative body has reconsidered the state of emergency circumstances; and
·Either i) the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet
safely in person, or ii) state or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to
promote social distancing.
If necessary, the City will continue to make appropriate findings at least every 30 days to ensure
compliance with this verification requirement of Assembly Bill 361 until its sunset date of January 1,
2024.

PREPARED BY:Shannon Levin, Council Policy Analyst
Subject:
Citywide Flag Policy and Authorization of Commemorative Flags
Statement of Issue:
Flags play an important role in communicating the City’s official sentiments on prominent matters in
Huntington Beach. As such Administrative Regulation 705 establishes guidelines to fly the City’s
Standard and Commemorative flags at City-owned facilities.
Financial Impact:
Not applicable
Recommended Action:
A) Approve Commemorative Flags section and adopt into Huntington Beach City Council manual;
and,
B) Receive and file Administrative Regulation 705: Citywide Flag Policy.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve one or more of the recommended actions, and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
Government and Commemorative flags are commonly flown over Huntington Beach facilities. To
promote consistency concerning the flying of flags,guidelines have been drafted via Administrative
Regulation (AR) 705 and City Council Manual.
By authority of the powers granted to the City Manager under Section 401 of the City Charter, the
Administrative Regulation, authorized by the City Manager, provide guidance on the City’s standard
operating procedures for administrative functions.
The AR 705 covers the flying of Standard flags on City-owned flagpoles. Standard flags include the
United States, State of California, City of Huntington Beach, and Prisoners of War/Missing in Action

United States, State of California, City of Huntington Beach, and Prisoners of War/Missing in Action
(POW/MIA) flags.
If the City Council chooses to fly certain flags upon request of the public, it is important that the
requests are reviewed uniformly. The City Council may authorize the flying of Commemorative flags
as an expression of the City’s official stance on an issue of importance to the Huntington Beach
community. As such, AR 705 Section 5,Commemorative Flags, when adopted by City Council via
the City Council Manual, would provide direction to implement flying of a Commemorative flag.
The AR 705, with the authorization of the Commemorative Flag section, will allow the City Manager
to exercise proper flag display at City-owned flagpoles throughout the City. Certain days of
observation, such as Memorial Day, observe special flag etiquette which is described for staff to
properly execute. Additionally, AR 705 calls out for sufficient inventory of flags and lighting of City-
owned flagpoles in order to fly flags 24 hours a day at certain locations.

There has been an estimated 6% increase in medical calls from Calendar Year 2020 to Calendar
Year 2021, and the Huntington Beach Fire Department anticipates a higher medical call volume in
Calendar Year 2022 as well. In addition, there are more events that the Huntington Beach Fire
Department attends and responds to with ambulances.
The City’s Municipal Code 3.02.080 B.8 states that goods and/or services obtained from or through
agreement with any governmental, public or quasi-public entity is an exemption to the competitive
bidding requirements. The Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) has a Cooperative Purchasing

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Al Zelinka, City Manager
VIA:Brittany Mello, Administrative Services Director
PREPARED BY:DeAnna Soria, Risk Manager
Subject:
Approve and authorize execution of Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services
Agreement with Carl Warren and Company for Subrogation/Property Recovery Services
Statement of Issue:
The City of Huntington Beach maintains a program of self-insurance for general liability pursuant to
the California Tort Claims Act. The City has existing professional service contract with Carl Warren
and Company for general liability claims investigation, processing, and administration services and
other ancillary services. Staff is seeking Council approval on an amendment to that contract in the
amount of $222,000 to allow for continued subrogation/property recovery services. These fee-based
services are paid for only if Carl Warren is successful in recovering monies for the City. As of
September 2022, Carl Warren has collected a net total of $438,739.22 for the City.
Financial Impact:
Should the Amendment be approved,the City’s contract with Carl Warren and Company will increase
by $222,000 and the total not-to-exceed amount for this agreement will increase from $309,000 to
$531,000.
Sufficient appropriation is available in business unit 55230502.69365. It is important to note that the
overall financial impact of conducting these services is net positive, as the City receives the majority
of the funds resulting from Carl Warren’s subrogation/property recovery services, which may
otherwise go uncollected. Specifically, 82% of the amount recovered in each claim is returned to the
City, less the 18% service fee to Carl Warren. Since beginning these services in March 2021 through
September 2022, Carl Warren has successfully collected a total of $535,047.83 for the City, less
$96,308.61 in service fees, for a net revenue gain of $438,739.22.
Recommended Action:
Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute, “Amendment No. 1 to Agreement
between the City of Huntington Beach and Carl Warren and Company for Liability Claim Investigation
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 10/12/2022Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™145
File #:22-834 MEETING DATE:10/18/2022
and Processing,” as prepared by the City Attorney.
Alternative Action(s):
A. Direct staff to discontinue subrogation/property recovery services as of October 2022, and
approve an alternate amendment with Carl Warren and Company to authorize an increase of
$96,308.61 to the contract amount to account for subrogation services provided between March
2021 through September 2022, allowing for the continuation of general claims administration at
current levels through the end of the contract term in February 2024.
B. Do not approve any amendment(s) and direct staff accordingly. Note that this would require
additional staffing to conduct subrogation/property recovery services internally, or these additional
monies may be forfeited. It would also require staff to work with Carl Warren and Company to
reduce general claims administration services for the remainder of the contract term through
February 2024 to stay within the existing contract limit of $309,000.
Analysis:
Property recovery services were previously rendered by City staff in the Risk Management function of
Human Resources. As part of the City’s Separation Incentive Program and the Fiscal Year 2020/21
Reorganization Plan in response to COVID-19 budget shortfalls, staffing levels were reduced, and
the position responsible for providing these services, among other job duties, was eliminated.
Previously, the staff position, whose job duties included property recovery, had collected
approximately $51,000 in 2019, and $80,000 in 2020 through August, when the position was
eliminated. Property recovery services are labor intensive, requiring data gathering and extensive
coordination.
In February 2021, the City entered into a three-year Professional Services Agreement with Carl
Warren and Company for a not-to-exceed amount of $309,000 (Attachment #1) for general liability
claims investigation, processing, and administration services. The contract limit of $309,000
represents a fixed annual fee of $103,000 over the three-year term. At the time, property recovery
services were part of the available services to the City, but were not yet contemplated as part of our
operational model.
After additional discussions with Carl Warren, the City’s Risk Management team began piloting the
subrogation/ property recovery services available to the City, as outlined in Exhibit B of the
agreement in March 2021. Subrogation is an ancillary service that charges an 18% fee of the monies
recovered, and is not included in the fixed annual fee above. If no funds are recovered, the City does
not pay for the service.
As of September 2022, Carl Warren has recovered a total of $535,047.83 for the City, less
$96,308.61 in service fees, for a net revenue gain of $438,739.22 for the past 18 months. These
efforts included addressing the backlog of claims that were outstanding after the August 2020 staffing
reduction. During this period, Carl Warren’s has been successful and cost-effective with the cost
recovery services provided. Their expertise in this area has resulted in capturing additional funds for
the City that would have otherwise been forfeited.

File #:22-834 MEETING DATE:10/18/2022
Therefore, staff recommends the contract amendment with Carl Warren at this time, which will allow
the City to continue these additional services through the remainder of the contract term in February
2024.
Previously, it was staff’s understanding that a contract amendment would not be required, since this
would not be an outright cost, per se, but an additional revenue stream, less the 18% fee on funds
recovered. In other words, if Carl Warren collected $100, they would reduce the monies paid to the
City by their $18 fee, and provide the City a payment of $82. Upon further discussions with the
Finance Department and City Attorney’s Office, it was determined that the total amount should be
collected by the City, and then the City will need to pay the 18% fees out to Carl Warren for the
services rendered through the existing contract.
As a result, staff is seeking Council approval on the contract amendment with Carl Warren by
increasing the contract amount by $222,000 (a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $531,000) by
the end of the term in February 2024. This amendment is estimated based on financial projection of
the amount of funds that may be recovered. To reiterate, if Carl Warren does not successfully recover
funds, the City does not pay the service fee and incur expenditures on this contract.
As another alternative, the City Council could deny any amendments to the existing agreement and
direct staff to discontinue subrogation/property recovery services and reduce general claims
administration services with Carl Warren and Company to stay within the existing contract amount of
$309,000 through February 2024. Both alternatives would require additional staffing to conduct
subrogation/property recovery services internally, or these additional monies may be forfeited.
Staff recommends approving Amendment No. 1 to the professional services agreement with Carl
Warren and Company (Attachment #2) to allow for the continuation of both claims administration and
subrogation/property recovery services.

Analysis• Because the monies collected were seen as an additional revenue stream, less the service fees, staff did not initially seek out a contract amendment to increase the not-to-exceed limit to add these services• Upon further discussions with the Finance Department and City Attorney’s Office, it was determined that the total amount would be collected by the City, and then the City would need to provide payment of the 18% fee by charging the existing contract• Staff has been extremely impressed by Carl Warren’s track record of success and cost-effective method of providing these services.

Appropriate CalRecycle SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Funds
Statement of Issue:
The City has been awarded an SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant from CalRecycle for $278,482.
These funds will assist with the purchase of two-gallon kitchen organics pails for residential trash
customers, as part of the City’s SB 1383 program rollout. In order to begin expending grant funds,
City Council must approve their appropriation in the FY 2022-23 Operating Budget as required under
Budget Resolution 2022-28.
Financial Impact:
A total of $278,482 of SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Funds would be appropriated to Account No.
127685001.63100 (SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant OW1).
Recommended Action:
Approve a budget appropriation of $278,482 in CalRecycle SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Funds
into the FY 2022-23 Budget to support the implementation of the City’s SB 1383 program.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the appropriation, and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
In early 2022, CalRecycle released a notice of funding availability from the SB 1383 Local Assistance
Grant, which is a one-time, non-competitive grant program to assist local jurisdictions with the
implementation of their SB 1383 programs. Public Works staff applied for this grant to provide
residential trash customers with a two-gallon countertop pail to collect food scraps. The State
requires customers to divert such organic waste away from landfills in an effort to reduce methane
emissions, a major contributor of greenhouse gases. In Huntington Beach, customers would collect
the waste in their pails and deposit them in their yard waste bins, where Republic will compost them

for other uses. Public Works intends to distribute the pails with educational materials to residents
during the program roll out in 2023.
The City was awarded $278,482 through the Local Assistance Grant, which will assist with the
purchase of approximately 45,000-50,000 pails. The intent is to provide one to all residential
households that would like one.
Due to the timing of the award in May 2022, this grant was not included in the Fiscal Year 2022-23
annual budget process. Per Resolution 2022-23, City Council approval is required to appropriate
grant funds that exceed $250,000 from a single source, in order to begin expending them for their
intended purpose.

2022 Legislative Update Provided by Townsend Public Affairs
Statement of Issue:
The City’s consultant, Townsend Public Affairs, Inc., will present an update detailing the 2022
Legislative session, as well as its impact to City operations and strategic plan priorities.
Financial Impact:
Not applicable
Recommended Action:
Receive and file the 2022 Legislative Update.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the recommended action, and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The Intergovernmental Relations Committee (IRC), a City Council subcommittee, convenes monthly
to discuss pending legislation and its potential impacts to the City of Huntington Beach and its
strategic plan priorities. As Assembly, Senate, and Federal bills pertinent to City business pass
through their respective legislatures, the IRC studies whether the City may want to take an official
position on any specific item. Thereafter, these recommended legislative items are brought forth to
City Council to formalize a stance. The IRC focuses its scope to align with the City Council Strategic
Plan Priorities.
Many bills were supported and opposed by City Council prompting letters to founding authors and
even the governor. In 2022, the IRC brought forth legislation for consideration at four City Council
meetings.
For example the City Council voted in favor of AB 2496 (Petrie-Norris) to curb loud vehicle noise. The

legislation was approved this fall.
Two influential bills opposed by City Council were AB 2011 (Wicks) and SB 6 (Caballero), which have
impacts on by-right-zoning and housing mandates. City Council issued letters of opposition to the bill
authors and as issued letters of veto to the Governor. Ultimately those bills were signed into law in
fall 2022.
The presentation tonight will focus on the efforts the IRC has undertaken during 2022 and legislation
ahead in 2023.

Summary: The Planning and Zoning Law requires each county and city to adopt a comprehensive,
long-term general plan for the physical development of the county or city, and specified land outside its
boundaries, that includes, among other mandatory elements, a housing element. For the 4th and
subsequent revisions of the housing element, existing law requires the Department of Housing and
Community Development to determine the existing and projected need for housing for each region.
Current law requires the appropriate council of governments, or the department for cities and counties
without a council of governments, to adopt a final regional housing need plan that allocates a share of
the regional housing need to each city, county, or city and county, as provided. Current law requires
that the final regional housing plan adopted by a council of governments, or a delegate subregion, as
applicable, be based on a methodology that includes specified factors, and similarly requires that the
department take into consideration specified factors in distributing regional housing need, as provided.
Commencing January 1, 2025, this bill would instead require a council of governments or a delegate
subregion to consider including specified factors in developing the above-mentioned methodology.

city and county to grant a commercial developer a development bonus, as specified, when an applicant
for approval of a commercial development had entered into an agreement for partnered housing with
an affordable housing developer to contribute affordable housing through a joint project or 2 separate
projects encompassing affordable housing. This bill would reenact the above-described provisions
regarding the granting of development bonuses to certain projects. The bill would require a city or

administrator for oil spill response, who is the head of the Office of Spill Prevention and Response in
the Department of Fish and Wildlife, to implement activities relating to oil spill response, including drills

into consideration the California oil spill contingency plan, to promulgate regulations regarding the
adequacy of oil spill elements of area plans adopted pursuant to specified existing law. The act
authorizes the administrator to offer, to a unified program agency with jurisdiction over or directly
adjacent to waters of the state, a grant to complete, update, or revise an oil spill element of the area
plan. The act requires each oil spill element prepared under those provisions to be consistent with the
local government’s local coastal program, the California oil spill contingency plan, and the National
Contingency Plan. This bill would additionally require that each oil spill element prepared under those
provisions be consistent with the area contingency plan.

Summary: Current law establishes a workers’ compensation system, administered by the
Administrative Director of the Division of Workers’ Compensation, to compensate an employee, as
defined, for injuries sustained in the course of employment. Current law defines “injury” for an
employee to include illness or death resulting from the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
under specified circumstances, until January 1, 2023. Current law creates a disputable presumption, as
specified, that the injury arose out of and in the course of the employment and is compensable, for
specified dates of injury. Current law requires an employee to exhaust their paid sick leave benefits
and meet specified certification requirements before receiving any temporary disability benefits or, for

police officers, firefighters, and other specified employees, a leave of absence. Current law also make a
claim relating to a COVID-19 illness presumptively compensable, as described above, after 30 days or
45 days, rather than 90 days. Current law, until January 1, 2023, allows for a presumption of injury for
all employees whose fellow employees at their place of employment experience specified levels of
positive testing, and whose employer has 5 or more employees. This bill would extend the above-
described provisions relating to COVID-19 until January 1, 2024. The bill would also expand the above-
described provisions applicable to firefighters and police officers to include active firefighting members
of a fire department at the State Department of State Hospitals, the State Department of
Developmental Services, the Military Department, and the Department of Veterans Affairs and to
officers of a state hospital under the jurisdiction of the State Department of State Hospitals and the

Summary: Current law makes a local trustee of granted public trust lands, as defined, a trustee of
state lands and confers upon that trustee specified powers regarding the leasing or granting of rights
or privileges in relation to those lands. When it appears to be in the public interest, existing law
authorizes the State Lands Commission to grant by competitive bidding leases for the extraction of
minerals other than oil and gas from tidelands and submerged lands of the state under specified
circumstances. This bill would repeal that authorization and would instead prohibit the commission or a
local trustee of granted public trust lands from granting leases or issuing permits for the extraction or
removal of hard minerals, as defined, from state waters subject to tidal influence, except as provided.
The bill would also set forth legislative findings and declarations and make a conforming change.

Summary: The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 requires a city, county, or city and
county, or regional agency formed under the act, to develop a source reduction and recycling element
of an integrated waste management plan containing specified components. The act requires those
jurisdictions to divert 50% of the solid waste subject to the element, except as specified, through
source reduction, recycling, and composting activities. The act allows the 50% diversion requirement to
include not more than 10% through transformation, as defined, if specified conditions are met. This bill
would repeal the provision authorizing the inclusion of not more than 10% of the diversion through
transformation. Because the bill would require local agencies to revise the source reduction and
recycling elements of their integrated waste management plans, this bill would impose a state-

Summary: Current law requires, no later than January 1, 2018, the State Air Resources Board to
approve and begin implementing a comprehensive short-lived climate pollutant strategy to achieve a
reduction in statewide emissions of methane by 40%, hydrofluorocarbon gases by 40%, and
anthropogenic black carbon by 50% below 2013 levels by 2030. Current law requires the methane
emissions reduction goals to include a 50% reduction in the level of the statewide disposal of organic
waste from the 2014 level by 2020 and a 75% reduction by 2025. Current law requires the
Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, in consultation with the state board, to adopt
regulations to achieve these organic waste reduction goals that include, among other things,
requirements intended to meet the goal that not less than 20% of edible food that is currently
disposed of be recovered for human consumption by 2025 and that may include penalties to be
imposed by the department for noncompliance, as provided. The department‘s regulations provide for,
among other things, the calculation by the department of recovered organic waste product
procurement targets for each local jurisdiction. This bill would require any penalties imposed by the
department on a local jurisdiction that fails to meet its recovered organic waste procurement target to
be imposed pursuant to a specified schedule based on the percentage of the local jurisdiction’s
recovered organic waste product procurement target achieved. The bill would exempt jurisdictions in

Summary: The Planning and Zoning Law requires each county and city to adopt a comprehensive,

boundaries, that includes, among other mandatory elements, a land use element, and a conservation
element. Current law also authorizes the legislative body of a city or a county to adopt ordinances
establishing requirements for parking, and permits variances to be granted from the parking
requirements of a zoning ordinance for nonresidential development if the variance will be an incentive
to the development and the variance will facilitate access to the development by patrons of public
transit facilities. This bill would prohibit a public agency from imposing any minimum automobile parking
requirement on any residential, commercial, or other development project, as defined, that is located

would authorize a city, county, or city and county to impose or enforce minimum automobile parking
requirements on a housing development project if the public agency makes written findings, within 30
days of the receipt of a completed application, that not imposing or enforcing minimum automobile
parking requirements on the development would have a substantially negative impact, supported by a

housing development within the city or county with a density bonus and other incentives or

income, very low income, or senior citizen housing, among other things, and meets other
requirements. Current law requires that an applicant agree to, and the city, county, or city and county
ensure, the continued affordability of all very low and low-income rental units that qualified the
applicant for a density bonus, as provided. Current law, for developments where 100% of all units are
for lower income households, except as provided, requires that rent for 20% of the units be set at an
affordable rent and that rent for the remaining units be at an amount consistent with the maximum
rent levels for a housing development that receives an allocation of state or federal low-income
housing tax credits from the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTCAC). Current law, with
respect to a for-sale unit that qualified the applicant for a density bonus, also requires that the local
government enforce an equity sharing agreement, as provided, unless it is in conflict with the
requirements of another public funding source or law. This bill, with respect to the affordability
requirements applicable to 100% lower income developments, would instead require the rent for the

Summary: Current law requires every motor vehicle subject to registration to be equipped with an
adequate muffler in constant operation and properly maintained to prevent any excessive or unusual
noise and prohibits a muffler or exhaust system from being equipped with a cutout, bypass, or similar
device. Current law further prohibits the modification of an exhaust system of a motor vehicle in a
manner that will amplify or increase the noise emitted by the motor of the vehicle so that the vehicle
exceeds existing noise limits when tested in accordance with specified standards. Current law
establishes the motor vehicle inspection program, which provides for privately operated stations that
are referred to as smog check stations and are authorized to issue certificates of compliance or
noncompliance to vehicles that meet certain requirements. Current law requires a certain number of
stations providing referee functions available to consumers, which ensures uniform and consistent
tests and repairs by all qualified smog check technicians and licensed smog check stations throughout
the state. Current law requires stations providing referee functions to provide for the testing of

Summary: The California Constitution generally limits the maximum rate of ad valorem tax on real
property to 1% of the full cash value of the property and defines “full cash value” for these purposes
as the appraised value of real property when purchased, newly constructed, or a change in ownership
has occurred after the 1975 assessment. Pursuant to constitutional authorization, existing property
tax law excludes from the definition of “newly constructed” for these purposes the construction or
addition of any active solar energy system, as defined, through the 2023–24 fiscal year. Under existing
property tax law, this exclusion remains in effect only until there is a subsequent change in ownership,

installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure for parking spaces in multifamily dwellings and
submit the proposed mandatory building standards. Current law requires the department and the
commission, in proposing and adopting these standards, to actively consult with specified parties. This
bill, for purposes of the requirements described above, would require the Department of Housing and
Community Development to research and develop, and would authorize the department to propose to
the commission for adoption, mandatory building standards for parking spaces in multifamily dwellings
that achieve specified objectives. In this regard, the bill would require those mandatory building
standards to require that each multifamily dwelling unit with access to parking have at least one
parking space served by a dedicated branch circuit terminating in a receptacle or an electric vehicle
charging station and to include specified signage.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Al Zelinka, City Manager
VIA:Dahle Bulosan, Chief Financial Officer
PREPARED BY:Serena Bubenheim, Finance Manager - Budget
Subject:
Approve FY 2021/22 Year-End Budget Adjustment for the City’s Various Unfunded Liabilities
Statement of Issue:
The Finance Department is completing the year-end closing process for Fiscal Year 2021/22, which
began on July 1, 2021, and ended on June 30, 2022. Certain budgetary transfers are needed to
reconcile the budget with liabilities incurred; to comply with auditing, actuarial, accounting, and legal
requirements; and to align with the City Council’s strategic goal of fiscal sustainability. City Council
authorization is requested to appropriate and transfer $13,102,696 from the General Fund to the
Workers’ Compensation, General Liability, Retiree Medical, Retirement Supplemental and the
Section 115 Trust Funds.
Financial Impact:
This action will result in the transfer of $13,102,696 from the General Fund as follows:
·Transfer of $3,000,000 to the Workers’ Compensation Fund;
·Transfer of $1,488,467 to the General Liability Fund;
·Transfer of $1,037,740 to the Retiree Medical Fund;
·Transfer of $4,576,489 to the Retirement Supplemental Fund; and
·Transfer of $3,000,000 to the Section 115 Trust.
There is sufficient General Fund year-end fund balance available to cover these transfers primarily
due to higher than anticipated Sales Tax and Transient Occupancy Tax revenues received during FY
2021/22.
Recommended Action:
Approve the appropriation and transfer of $13,102,696 into the Workers’ Compensation, General
Liability, Retiree Medical, Retirement Supplemental and Section 115 Trust Funds from the General
Fund year-end balances. (See Attachment 1).

File #:22-852 MEETING DATE:10/18/2022
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the recommended action, and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The U.S. economy faced significant challenges in the first half of 2022 due to rising interest rates,
unprecedented inflation and ongoing threats of recession. Inflation as of June 2022 was 9.1%, the
Federal Funds rates increased five times in 2022 to 3%-3.25%, and GDP for the first and second
quarter of 2022 were -1.6% and -0.6%, respectively. In order to align with the City Council’s Strategic
Goal of Fiscal Sustainability, staff is recommending additional funding to the City’s various unfunded
liabilities. The City’s workers’ compensation and general liability costs increased in FY 2021/22. In
addition, the City’s retirement plan assets declined in value due to unfavorable market conditions.
Sufficient funding in the City’s General Fund in FY2021/22 is available, primarily due to higher than
anticipated Sales Tax and Transient Occupancy Tax revenues, for the recommended funding detailed
below.
Workers’ Compensation:
California Workers’ Compensation Law provides state mandated benefits to employees for work-
related illness or injury. Benefits may include payments for medical treatment, salary continuation,
Total Temporary Disability (TTD) benefits, and permanent disability benefits. The City is self-insured
for its workers’ compensation program and is liable for all costs up to $1 million dollars per claim.
The costs related to claims are paid for by the City as the Employer.
As of the most recent actuarial valuation for the period ending June 30, 2022, the City’s total workers’
compensation liability is $40.7 million, or $7.6 million higher than the previous year. The increase is
primarily due to 38 claims that had increases of at least $100,000 during FY 2021/22. Together,
these 38 claims contributed to approximately $6.7 million in incurred losses. The increase was
driven by rising medical costs and an expanded list of injuries that are presumed to be work related
under California law, including cancer and post-traumatic stress. The requested appropriation and
transfer of $3 million will partially fund the increase in the City’s liability identified in the June 30, 2022
actuarial valuation and increase the funded status from 35% to 42%.
General Liability:
The City is self-insured for combined liability and cost of defense up to $1 million per claim. Costs up
to that amount are paid from the General Liability Fund Budget. The City purchased liability
insurance in the open marketplace, which provides insurance for claims costs exceeding the City’s
self-insured retention of $1 million. The maximum coverage limit is $30 million, which is inclusive of
the self-insured retention. Claims that exceed the maximum limit of liability are covered by the City’s
Self-Insurance General Liability Internal Service Fund.
As of the period ending June 30, 2022, the City’s total general liability is $13.7 million, or $1.5 million
higher than the previous year. The increase is primarily due to three large claims incurred during FY
2021/22. The requested appropriation and transfer of $1,488,467 will fund the increase in the City’s
liability and increase the funded status from 89% to 100%.

File #:22-852 MEETING DATE:10/18/2022
Retiree Medical:
The City administers two retiree medical or other post-employment benefit (OPEB) plans. Safety
employees are eligible for a retirement health plan through CalPERS under the California Public
Employees Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA), commonly referred to as PERS Health. Non-
safety employees hired prior to October 1, 2014 are entitled to a retiree medical subsidy based on
years of service. The City utilizes the California Employers’ Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT) to
manage the plans. The CERBT plan has a discount rate of 5.5%. Investment return in the CERBT
plan for FY 2021/22, 5 years, and since plan inception (October 2011) were -12.54%, 4.66%, 6.29%,
respectively. Benchmark rates were -12.66%, 4.43%, and 6.02%, respectively.
The City’s actuary assists City staff in determining the annual contributions or planned use of funds to
ensure long-term sustainability of the program. A transfer of $1,037,740 is needed from the General
Fund to the Retiree Medical Fund to align with actual retiree medical benefit payments made during
FY 2021/22 and to avoid drawing from the trust during a market low. Due to the unfavorable returns
in the CalPERS Employers’ Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT) Fund in FY 2021/22, the funded status is
estimated to decrease from 107% as of June 30, 2021 to 94% as of June 30, 2022. The funded
status is estimated to increase from 94% to 97% with the recommended transfer.
Retirement Supplemental:
The City administers a supplemental single-employer defined benefit retirement plan for all
employees hired prior to 1997. The plan pays a supplemental retirement benefit in addition to
benefits from CalPERS. Investments of the Supplemental Plan are held separately from those of
other City funds by investment custodians. The Supplemental Plan has a discount rate of 5.5%.
Investment return in the Supplemental Plan for FY 2021/22, 5 years, and since plan inception
(October 2009) were -15.98%, 4.84%, 6.20%, respectively. Benchmark rates were -12.44%, 4.51%,
and 6.64%, respectively.
The City’s actuary assists City staff in determining the annual contributions or planned use of funds to
ensure long-term sustainability of the program. A transfer of $4,576,489 is needed from the General
Fund to the Retirement Supplemental Fund to align with actual required retirement supplemental
benefit payments and to avoid drawing from the trust during a market low. Due to the unfavorable
returns in the Supplemental Plan in FY 2021/22, the funded status is estimated to decrease from
92% as of June 30, 2021 to 77% as of June 30, 2022. The funded status is estimated to increase
from 77% to 83% with the recommended transfer.
Section 115 Trust:
On December 21, 2015, City Council authorized the creation of a tax-exempt, Internal Revenue Code
Section 115 Trust to help address the City’s unfunded liabilities. Since that time, the City has
prudently incorporated contributions to the trust within the annual operating budget and from General
Fund year-end savings. On March 1, 2021, City Council took advantage of historically low interest
rates and approved the issuance of $363.6 million in Pension Obligation Bonds (POBs) to allow the
City to prepay 85% of projected pension unfunded accrued liabilities (UAL), saving taxpayers
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 10/12/2022Page 3 of 4
powered by Legistar™249
File #:22-852 MEETING DATE:10/18/2022
City to prepay 85% of projected pension unfunded accrued liabilities (UAL), saving taxpayers
approximately $166.7 million over a 23 year bond repayment schedule. With the approval of the
POBs, City Council also adopted an Unfunded Accrued Liability Pension Funding Policy to augment
contributions to the Section 115 Trust and further protect the City from volatility and unexpected
pension rate increases. As of June 30, 2022, the Section 115 Trust Balance is approximately $12.4
million.
As a result of negative 6.1% returns experienced by CalPERS as of June 30, 2022, staff is
recommending the appropriation and transfer of $3 million from the General Fund to the Section 115
Trust. The additional funding will help to mitigate the impacts of future increases in the annual
CalPERS Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) payment resulting from the FY 2021/22 market losses.
As of June 30, 2021, the City’s CalPERS plan was 103% funded or 83% funded with the POBs
based on the latest CalPERS actuary report. Due to the unfavorable returns, the City’s CalPERS
plan is estimated to be 90% funded or 73% funded with the POBs as of June 30, 2022. Prior to the
issuance of the POBs on June 30, 2020, the plan was 68% funded. The POB remains a favorable
financial decision as long as CalPERS’ long-term investment return is over the 2.925% refinance
rate. As of June 30, 2022, CalPERS’ plan returns for 10, 20, and 30 years were 7.7%, 6.9% and
7.7%, respectively.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Al Zelinka, City Manager
VIA:Scott M. Haberle, Fire Chief
PREPARED BY:Janice Van Mullem, Fire Marshal
Subject:
Approve for Introduction Ordinance No. 4268 amending Huntington Beach Municipal Code
Chapter 17.56 adopting California Fire Code and schedule a Public Hearing for November 15,
2022
Statement of Issue:
The State’s Health and Safety Code requires local governments to adopt the most recent editions of

City Council approval is requested to approve and adopt Ordinance No. 4268 (Attachment 1) to set
forth findings with respect to local climatic and geographic conditions with the City of Huntington
Beach and allow certain modifications and changes to the California fire codes. If approved, these
editions will become effective January 1, 2023 as required by State law.
Financial Impact:
The adoption of the proposed Codes will not have any fiscal impact on the City’s budget.
Recommended Action:
A) Approve for Introduction Ordinance No. 4268, “An Ordinance of the City of Huntington Beach
Amending Chapter 17.56 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code Adopting the California Fire Code
and Repealing Ordinance No. 4189”; and,

Analysis:
The State’s Health and Safety Code (Section 13869.7) permits the City to make changes or
modifications to California Building Standards Code, Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations
regarding fire and panic safety requirements. Such changes or modifications must be reasonably
necessary because of climatic, geographic or topographical conditions.
The California Building Standards Commission adopts and publishes the California Building
Standards Code (Title 24 California Code of Regulations) every three years. The 2022 Edition of the
California Code of Regulations Title 24, which incorporates the international model codes, becomes
effective on January 1, 2023. The 2022 California Fire Code is based upon the 2021 International
Fire Code.
If approved, Ordinance No. 4268 will amend Chapter 17.56 of Huntington Beach Municipal Code by
repealing references to the prior editions of the model codes.
Adopting the 2022 California Fire Code would coincide with the adoption of the 2022 California
Building and Residential Code by the Department of Community Development, scheduled to also
take effect January 1, 2023.

Analysis:
Construction codes that regulate the health and safety of the structures in Huntington Beach are
published every three years to keep up with current design technology and construction materials.
The California Building Standards Commission is charged with approving and publishing the State
Codes under Title 24. The 2022 editions of the California Building, Green Building Standards,
Residential, Mechanical, Plumbing, and Electrical Codes were published on July 1, 2022. In
accordance with Section 18941.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, the City is mandated to
enforce the codes starting on January 1, 2023.
The construction codes proposed for adoption by reference with amendments include the following:
2022 California Administrative Code (Part 1)
2022 California Building Code (Part 2)
2022 California Residential Code (Part 2.5)
2022 California Electrical Code (Part 3)
2022 California Mechanical Code (Part 4)
2022 California Plumbing Code (Part 5)
2022 California Energy Code (Part 6)
2022 California Historical Building Code (Part 8)
2022 California Existing Building Code (Part 10)
2022 California Green Building Standards Code (Part 11)
2022 California Referenced Standards Code (Part 12)
2021 Solar, Hydronics and Geothermal Code
2021 Uniform Swimming Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Code
Official adoption of the codes by reference allows the City of Huntington Beach to amend the codes
for administrative purposes and for special conditions and hazards that do not exist in all jurisdictions,
if necessary. The specific findings (Attachment No. 1) are also required to be adopted since the State
requires cities to justify that the amendments are reasonably necessary because of local climatic,
geological or topographic conditions. If the codes are not adopted, they will become law by default
without amendments.
Huntington Beach has certain climatic and geological conditions that need to be mitigated to prevent
certain hazards from occurring. Climatic conditions include Santa Ana winds and dry climatic
conditions that could result in fires. Local amendments include fire prevention systems and clarifying
the minimum requirements for roof covering to mitigate fire hazards. Geological conditions include
seismic activity, methane district, and corrosive soils. Examples of local amendments to mitigate such
hazards include requiring soils and methane reports as part of Construction Documents and fire
prevention systems. All other local amendments are administrative in nature.
The Uniform Swimming Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Code and Uniform Solar, Hydronics and Geothermal
Code are not mandated by the State. However, new editions are proposed to be adopted to reflect

Code are not mandated by the State. However, new editions are proposed to be adopted to reflect
changes and to stay current with industry standards.
Ordinance No. 4270 with express findings incorporates amendments to reflect the City’s local
conditions, and the remainder of the proposed amendments are administrative or procedural in
nature.
The proposed amendments are consistent with the Orange County Code Uniformity Group and have
the support of the Orange County Building Industry Association.
Environmental Status:
The project involves adoption of an ordinance to incorporate the California Building Code update into
the Huntington Beach Municipal Code. The project is exempt pursuant to California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), which exempts projects where it can be seen
with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on
the environment.
The project is also exempt pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 4501, which supplements the
CEQA Guidelines Section 15320, Class 20, and states that projects involving "adoption of ordinances
(except zoning) which establish or amend procedures for reviewing an activity or which require
subsequent discretionary action which is subject to CEQA..." are exempt.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Financial Sustainability, Public Safety or Other

Objective Standards
Direct the City Manager to task the Community Development Department to create objective
standards for the local implementation of SB 6 and AB 2011 and, as an implementation target, have
those standards brought through the Planning Commission and heard by the City Council by June

CITY COUNCIL MEETING – COUNCIL MEMBER ITEMS REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DAN KALMICK, CITY COUNCILMEMBER
DATE: OCTOBER 18, 2022
SUBJECT: SB 6 AND AB 2011 LOCAL CONTROL IMPLEMENTATION – OBJECTIVE STANDARDS
The passage of SB 6 and AB 2011, which go into effect in July of 2023, have the potential to be
transformational to the housing market. The by-right approvals under AB 2011 have the potential
to change many of our retail centers on Beach Blvd. As we have seen with SB 35, several projects
that would be highly detrimental to the fabric of our community have been submitted and
thankfully rejected.
In order to maintain local control of our commercial areas and to prevent problematic and
unsustainable housing projects from being built without community input, I believe it is prudent
to ask the Community Development Department to begin work on creating objective standards
that will help guide the local implementation of SB 6 and AB 2011 in Huntington Beach.
The target completion date for update to the municipal code should be by June 2023.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Manager to task the Community Development Department to create objective
standards for the local implementation of SB 6 and AB 2011 and, as an implementation target,
have those standards brought through the Planning Commission and heard by the City Council
by June 2023.

Submitted by Councilmember Kalmick - Elected Official Conflict of Interest Reform
Direct the City Manager to create a process to maintain a list of ineligible persons or entities under
SB 1439 rules. Have this in place by January 1, 2023. Additionally direct the City Manager to come
back to a Study Session in Q1 of 2023 with suggested reforms to strengthen transparency and
reporting of campaign contributions, conflict of interest and ethics rules and other best practices used
throughout the County (or State as deemed appropriate).

CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
CITY COUNCIL MEETING – COUNCIL MEMBER ITEMS REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DAN KALMICK, CITY COUNCILMEMBER
DATE: OCTOBER 18, 2022
SUBJECT: ELECTED OFFICIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST REFORM
The recent passage and signing into law of SB 1439, which effectively implements the Levine Act
for directly elected local officials, possesses a serious logistics problem for the City Council.
Without direct support staff, the volunteer members of the City Council will have to maintain
massive lists of applicants and/or contractors who have come before the City Council to make
sure that come election time, they do not receive contributions from a person or entity that had
business before the Council within the past year. Our Consent Calendars have dozens of items on
them and not remembering 11 months later that someone had an item before the Council on a
proforma basis could result in a hefty fine. To avoid this, the City Council should ask staff to
maintain a rolling list of ineligible persons or entities that cannot make campaign contributions.
In addition to this recent update, I believe that it has come time to evaluate other conflict of
interest and political campaigning rules the City maintains and to strengthen them. Elimination
of corporate contributions and implementing TINCUP regulations are a few of the items that
should be brought back for discussion. Understanding the role that Independent Expenditures
play in our local campaigns and how other cities handle them and their reporting should also be
reviewed. A staff review of other cities in the County (or State as deemed necessary) should be
conducted and best practices brought forward for review at study session early next year. Strong
ethical guidelines, gifts received by all elected officials and timely reporting and effective
penalties for violation of said rules should be other topics of discussion.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Manager to create a process to maintain a list of ineligible persons or entities
under SB 1439 rules. Have this in place by January 1, 2023. Additionally direct the City Manager
to come back to a Study Session in Q1 of 2023 with suggested reforms to strengthen transparency
and reporting of campaign contributions, conflict of interest and ethics rules and other best
practices used throughout the County (or State as deemed appropriate).
