This request was approved unanimously by the City Council on July 18, 2023 under Resolution 2023-30, which approved the submittal of the grant application. However, the program requires updated verbiage in the Resolution, necessitating its repeal and replacement with the adoption of Resolution 2023-58. Financial Impact: The total estimated project cost, including design and construction, is $766,618. Staff is requesting $383,309 in grant funds from the State Department of Parks and Recreation to restore a trail at the Shipley Nature Center. If awarded a grant, the City will be responsible for providing 50% matching funds totaling $383,309, which staff will request through a separate budget appropriation request at a future City Council meeting. Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution 2023-58 "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Approving the Application for Grant Funds from the Habitat Conservation Fund Program." Alternative Action(s): Do not adopt the resolution, and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: Background City of Huntington Beach Page 1 of 3 Printed on 11/1/2023 powere41451i LegistarTM File #: 23-942 MEETING DATE: 11/7/2023 The people of the State of California enacted the California Wildlife Protection Act of 1990, which provides funds to the State of California for grants to local agencies to acquire, enhance, restore and/or develop facilities for public recreation and fish and wildlife habitat protection purposes. The HCF allocates approximately $2 million each year to cities, counties, and districts. Eligible projects include nature interpretation programs to bring urban residents into park and wildlife areas, protection of various plant and animal species, and acquisition and development of wildlife corridors and trails. This year, the HCF has approximately $6.68 million available to award. The program requires all grant award recipients to provide a 50% project cost match. The City is collaborating with Friends of the Shipley Nature Center to submit a grant application to restore the walking/hiking trail at the nature center. The collaboration includes cost sharing to hire a professional grant writer for$9,000 each party or $18,000 total. The Shipley Nature Center Trail Project would be classified as a non-motorized project under the development and rehabilitation of trails, trailside and trailhead facilities category. The project involves the realignment of portions of the existing trail (approximately 850 feet) that is flooded due to high water levels in the adjacent lake. The project will remove invasive plants, clear and grub approximately 0.7 acre of terrain, compact the base material, import approximately 1,800 cubic yards of fill material to elevate the trail, add a trail surface to match existing trail, install trail edge headers, and install trail markers and other signage. The total project cost is $766,618. Recommended Action Staff has prepared a grant application for 50% of the project cost ($383,309). To complete the application, staff is requesting adoption of Resolution 2023-58, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Approving the Application for Grant Funds from the Habitat Conservation Fund Program" (see Attachment 1). In July 2023, City Council adopted Resolution 2023-30 to apply for these funds; however, the granting agency recently notified staff that the Resolution required additional language in order to meet application requirements. As such, the new, proposed Resolution 2023-58 presented tonight would be used to replace Resolution 2023-30 and would be submitted as part of the grant application. Staff will submit the completed grant application package to the State Department of Parks and Recreation, which plans to announce recommended projects in Winter 2023, with mandatory workshops and grant agreements to be completed in early 2024. If awarded, the grant performance period is 5 years from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2029. Furthermore, in order to accept the grant funds, the City must commit to matching 50% of the project cost. If awarded, staff will return to City Council at a future date to request sufficient budget appropriation. Environmental Status: This action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

REVIEWED AND AP' :OVED: 1''7 vg&t.,3 jlt. 11IN Mayor INITIATED AND APPROVED Director of Public Works APPROVED AS TO FORM: City Attorney .. 2 RESOLUTION NO. 2023-58 GRANT SCOPE OF WORK The Shipley Trail Project involves the realignment of portions of the existing Shipley Trail that are currently flooded because of the water level at the Blackbird pond raising approximately 2 ft. in the last few years. The Project involves realignment of approximately 850 ft. of trail from Trail Marker 7 to west of Trail Marker 9. The project will consist of the following: 1. Removal of several willow trees,with large branches and trunks that extend several feet from their trunks. The willow trees would have to be removed completely or cut so the branches no longer infringe upon the proposed trail. 2. The work would also involve the removal of native and non-native vines such as Reed, Brazilian pepper trees and others. Please note that eradication of the plant material outside the trail path has not been added in order to keep the cost reasonable. 3. The work would include the clearing and grubbing of approximately 0.7 acre of terrain along the new proposed trail alignment. 4. Compaction of base material, and import of approximately 1800 cubic yards of fill material to elevate the trail above possible flooding stage. 5. Addition of a trail surface to match existing trail (i.e.: wood chips or decomposed granite). • 6. Installation of trail edge headers, installation of trail markers and other required sign age. 7. The exact length of trail to be restored must be verified by field measurements. Surveying will be necessary to determine the elevation of the trail relative to the bottom of the pond drain. 3 Res.

CMO STAFF) <city.council@surfcity-hb.org> Subject: Public Comment Items 24, 26 & Non-agendized,Tuesday, November 7, 2023 Dear City Council. Ben P. here. Huntington Beach is only 114 years old & only decades old in most areas. Most importantly I'd like to see people keep treating each other better when they want to. Item 24 - The outer trail already exists & might already be elevated in the back corner. Please keep the inner trail as is so adventurers & maintenance can reach the waterfront; these trailheads are safely blocked off with warning signs. SUPPLEMENTAL COMMUNICATION 11/07/2023 stir► Date: Agenda tcem No. 24 (23-942) Item 26 - I 'd like to see this project design redrawn by the engineer & architect with the corner commercial & adjacent outdoor parking, all with an orange, blue & black zigzag color scheme. There is simply no other place for Little Caesars Pizza & these key establishments on the south side of Warner. for miles; this is a ridiculous problem. I don't think subterranean parking structures are safe for a building's foundation. Another 5+ R jammed on the corner? Why would you do that? Who's going to safely build this & not turn this intersection into a nightmare for 100 years for all & emergency traffic with virtually zero commercial selection? I have a problem with what you're doing to our police, fire & ambulence's driving. Location & directionality isn't being looked into. This also isn't a downtown zone. Rule #1, city spread means trouble ahead. Rule #2, don't build high or medium density outside of a downtown zone. This project shouldn't have been approved like this & is a repeat of the problematic Elan & Luce building & looks worse. The city's major projects have to be taken more seriously than this. I hope this project is redrawn & done right. Non-agendized - Huntington Gateway Phase II Industrial Project Phase 1 - Amazon Phase 2 - ? Phase 3 - ?
