and infrastructure impacts . He believes that the Ellis-Goldenwest area does not meet the best fit criteria
for high density housing. Mr. Chaman suggested the southeast corner of Nichols and Warner, a long -
neglected vacant lot, as a more appropriate location for high density housing development. (02:43 :27)
Kay Chaman, a resident of Edwards Hill, was called to speak and stated her opposition to the proposed
Zoning Overlay for the Brindle-Thomas property. She noted that it appears the City has not performed
an adequate impact study for this project, and shared her opinion the proposed project will have a terrible

trails and endanger the safety of the horses and riders . Ms . Chaman shared her opinion that the City is

and unethically rezoned her entire neighborhood at their meeting last week. She stated her opposition to
the Zoning Overlay for the Ellis-Goldenwest Specific Plan for the Brindle-Thomas property which is

property. Comments regarding a shortage of water for this project, and hearing the developer can
change many of the other Ellis-Goldenwest Specific Plan requirements that residents have been required
to follow for over 33 years. (02 :54 :27)
Unnamed Guest was called to speak and stated that high density changes drove her family out of
Redondo Beach 23 years ago. She suggested that Councilmembers take a drive through Redondo
Beach and Hermosa Beach to see first-hand some real results of high-density housing , and asked them
to protect quality of life for Huntington Beach residents by voting "no" in November. (02:56:25)
Unnamed Guest was called to speak and stated his vehement opposition to the Zoning Overlay for the
Ellis-Goldenwest and Holly-Seacliff Specific Plans . He stated the lack of communication regarding these
plans is disturbing, he believes the proposed numbers are arbitrary and inflated, with minimal
environmental or traffic studies . He asked that Councilmembers oppose this high-density Zoning
Overlay in November so Huntington Beach doesn't turn into Santa Monica. (02 :58:44)
Daphnee Weaver was called to speak and stated she is opposed to the high-density Zoning Overlay for
all of the reasons other residents have already expressed, including lowered property values, increased
traffic congestion and parking issues, increased crime, plus additional stresses to infrastructure, schools,
gas stations and retail stores. (03:00:00)
Rick Puffer, a 20-year resident of Huntington Beach currently living on Edwards Hill , and a property
developer, was called to speak and noted the pressure coming from Sacramento regarding housing, and
acknowledged something needs to be done. Mr. Puffer asked Councilmembers to have the backbone to
pull the Zoning Overlay now, rather than supporting a plan which may produce the worst-case scenarios .
He stated the residents are willing and able to work together with Council to come up with better
solutions. (03:02:04)
Caller Ada Hand, a Del Mar Estates resident, was invited to speak and directed her comments to
Councilmember Items #21 regarding Elected Official Conflict of Interest Reform. Ms . Hand noted that
several former and current Councilmembers have accepted donations from 1) Mobile Home Education
Trust (MHET); 2) Western Manufacturing Association (WMA); and 3) multiple manufactured housing park
owners, according to public records . Ms . Hand further noted that some Councilmembers have voted to
place representatives of MHET and WMA on the Huntington Beach Mobile Home Advisory Board, which
in her opinion is a conflict of interest, especially when the website of one of these organizations clearly
states a goal of converting mobile home parks to condos and other businesses. Ms . Hand expects that
soon-to-be elected Councilmembers will look into the possibility of confl ict of interest in this situation .
(03:04:36)
Mayor Delgleize announced that many people spoke about not being notified about what is happening in
their neighborhood, and she stated that this is not okay. She also said there appears to be a lot of
misunderstand ing about what the City is doing about the Housing Element and reminded everyone that a
Study Session has been scheduled for Tuesday, November 1, to provide additional time for staff to
describe the Housing Element.

that the numbers have gone up about 20% in one year generally due to escalating costs for medical care
as well as new State laws defining more work-related situations.
Councilmember Carr and CFO Bulosan discussed the Section 115 Trust projection and confirmed the
number includes the Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL) Policy set-aside of $1 M plus one-half of the first
year's savings of approximately $1.4M. In addition, during the years no UAL is owed, the assumption is
there will still be a contribution to the 115 Trust in the amount that would have gone to California Public

Bond reduced the payment. CFO Bulosan stated the Actuary is preparing a comparison summary which

interest rate that can be used to offset future Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL).
