Councilmember Williams suggested to continue this discussion to allow time for all Councilmembers to do a deeper dive into more favorable options. Councilmember Gruel stated he doesn't expect to find a hidden financial bonanza, and it is important to remember this is basically a no-margin project. Mayor Pro Tem McKeon asked Community Development Director Jennifer Villasenor to provide the history of this odd-shaped property before it was identified for this project, as well as the City's effort to identify affordable housing sites. Mayor Pro Tem McKeon noted the parcel's constraints and added the private sector has been unable to secure funding for a design that meets zoning requirements for parking and set-back.

Speaking as a real estate developer, he expressed appreciation for the three concessions that staff were able to secure from the project developer and stated his support for this item. Councilmember Kennedy stated that pushing Councilmembers up against the wall to make a decision for a situation which they had no control over is not a good way to do business. He added that he believes the developer can dig deeper into their balance sheet and find a way to increase the $5,000 annual payment to the City. Council Woman Van Der Mark confirmed this is a plot of land that no private sector developer could develop; this plot is currently benefitting 43 or 44 senior citizens; there have not been any calls for public safety or police response; there have not been any issues with the neighbors; and the good-faith negotiations that resulted in the developer making three concessions are her reasons for supporting the recommended action. Mayor Burns confirmed with Director Villasenor that for the most part this taxpayer-funded project was approved without any zoning changes because of the minimal parking needed for the anticipated tenant profile. Mayor Burns stated his concern regarding the extended period of foregone property taxes and noted Jamboree Housing expects annual rent increases but claims they do not have funding to increase the $5,000 annual payment to Huntington Beach. He added he would like an opportunity for the Finance Commission to evaluate the situation and asked if there would be ramifications if this discussion was continued for a month. A Jamboree Housing representative stated their TEFRA deadline is the end of October in order to not jeopardize their tax-exempt funding. Mayor Burns and City Manager Hopkins reviewed the timeline for the process to reach this point, and City Manager Hopkins confirmed that there was previous communication on this issue with all Councilmembers. Councilmember Kennedy confirmed with City Manager Travis Hopkins that this issue was previously discussed by the Economic Development Commission (EDC), staff and Councilmembers who had specific interest, and the item could not be agendized until this meeting because of the on-going discussions and processes required to reach this point. Jamboree Housing representatives confirmed that during recent negotiations it took them a bit of time to confer with their lawyers, board, and lender for their approval on the proposed concessions. They also noted the unexpected construction delays at the beginning of the project due to COVID-19 resulted in the fact there was not time to follow their normal City Council/PFA Regular Meeting and Housing Authority Special Meeting Minutes October 21, 2025; Page 8 of 9 practice of placing occupants in the project before the construction bond deadline. They added that if they do not meet the October 31st TEFRA extended deadline, they will lose the tax-exempt status on the bonds, and their lender will most likely not honor the commitment to fund. Jamboree would have to come up with additional funding to convert from construction to permanent funding. Director Villasenor explained in more detail the steps required for concession negotiations to reach this point. Jamboree Housing representatives stated they have exhausted all available TEFRA extensions to get the construction loan converted to permanent financing. Councilmember Williams noted he only became aware of this item when it appeared on the agenda for this meeting and stated his need for more information before making a decision that will impact Huntington Beach taxpayers for such an extended time. Mayor Burns re-opened the Public Hearing and continued it to a date certain: Tuesday, October 28, 2025. A motion was made by Williams, second Kennedy to continue the TEFRA public hearing pursuant to federal law, to an October 28, 2025, Special City Council/Housing Authority meeting, to allow additional time for staff, the developer, and Councilmembers to explore potential restructuring of agreement terms to better protect Huntington Beach taxpayers and better align with current priorities.

This mission aligns closely with the Library’s commitment to welcome, empower, and enrich the community through cultural, educational, and artistic experiences that inspire transformation and growth. City of Huntington Beach Printed on 10/29/2025Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-818 MEETING DATE:11/4/2025 Since October 1, 2022, the City and the Art League have operated under a License Agreement granting the Art League access to designated gallery spaces within Huntington Central Library for rotating art exhibitions. These exhibits have enriched the Library’s programming, strengthened its role as a community gathering place, and provided local artists with accessible opportunities to display their work. The proposed MOU establishes a three-year term. Under this agreement, the City will continue to provide, at no cost, portions of the Library’s gallery areas, identified as the “Upstairs Art Gallery” and the “West End Art Gallery” for Art League exhibits.

This grant will allow the City to purchase TripSpark Notification Software for the Surf City Seniors on the Go! senior transportation program. Financial Impact: The total OCTA grant award amount is not to exceed $46,517. A 10% match is required in the amount of $5,168, for a total project cost of $51,685.00. The required matching funds will be provided by the Huntington Beach Council on Aging (COA). No General Fund dollars for the software purchase are required.

Alternative Action(s): City of Huntington Beach Printed on 10/29/2025Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-849 MEETING DATE:11/4/2025 Do not approve the recommended actions and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: The Orange County Enhanced Mobility for Seniors and Disabled (EMSD) Grant Program is administered through the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). The EMSD program is intended to support the transportation needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities when transportation services provided are unavailable, insufficient, or inappropriate to meet those needs. Funding from the grant would be used to support the City’s “Surf City Seniors on the Go!” Senior Transportation program. “Surf City Seniors on the Go!” is a grant and donation-based program that provides curb-to-curb transportation for Huntington Beach seniors aged 60 years and over from their homes to medical appointment, shopping centers, social services, and the Senior Center in Central Park. The EMSD grant funds will be used to purchase the TripSpark Notification Software to add to the Existing Pass Software System. There is a need for the City to obtain newer and more modern transportation software in order to continue to effectively offer this heavily utilized program. The TripSpark Notification Software is a demand response application that gives passengers up-to-the- minute notifications to enhance their transportation experience. This enhanced notification tool enables improved communication with riders by providing updates and reminders via interactive voice response (IVR), SMS text, or email in real time. Under Cooperative Agreement No. C-5-4010, OCTA agrees to award EMSD grant funds in an amount not to exceed $46,517 to fund the purchase of the TripSpark Notification software. Based on OCTA grant guidelines, a maximum of $46,517 (90%) may be used to purchase the software and the remaining 10% match requirement of $5,168.00 will be provided by the Huntington Beach Council on Aging for a total project cost of $51,685.00.

Financial Impact: Funding in the amount of $730,816 has been included in the FY 2025/26 Budget for participation in the program. With these agreements and the City’s payment of $722,804, it is anticipated that an estimated $1,732,305 in funds will be distributed to the City of Huntington Beach, resulting in a net revenue of approximately $1,001,489 for additional reimbursement of Medi-Cal Managed Care services that were incurred and unreimbursed for the service period of January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. Recommended Action: A)Authorize the designation of the City Manager,Chief Financial Officer,and/or Fire Chief to execute the agreement between the California Department of Health Care Servies (DHCS)and the Health Plan-Provider Agreement -Intergovernmental Transfer Rate Range Program Agreement between CalOptima Health and the City of Huntington Beach; and B)Approve a payment of $722,804 to the California Department of Health Care Services for the agreement during FY 2025/26. City of Huntington Beach Printed on 10/29/2025Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-838 MEETING DATE:11/4/2025 Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the recommended action(s), and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: Since the 2022/23 fiscal year, the City of Huntington Beach has participated in the Voluntary Rate Range Intergovernmental Transfer Program (VRRP IGT) through the California Department of Health Care Services. This program allows the City to recover unreimbursed City costs for service to CalOptima patients. DHCS distributes the funds to eligible entities through CalOptima Health. The City’s ongoing participation in the program is dependent on available funding for the program and the City’s ability to provide the upfront contribution required. The net revenue received annually by the City is also dependent on a number of factors, including the number of program participants in the County and the number of Medi-Cal calls for service. If the City Council approves the recommended actions, the agreement with DHCS would require an upfront payment of $722,804. Once paid, an estimated $1,732,305 will be disbursed to the City within approximately 60 days through CalOptima, for a net revenue of $1,001,489. The 60-day time estimate is based on the actual transfer dates of previous years’ VRRP IGT. The required upfront payment and subsequent disbursement from CalOptima are based on Medi-Cal managed care services provided by the City during the January 1, 2024-December 31, 2024, period. The agreements with DHCS and CalOptima are attached for reference, along with the funding letter from DHCS. 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.

Financial Impact: Not applicable. Recommended Action: Adopt Ordinance No.4342,“An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach, adding a New Chapter 9.94 Entitled “Prohibition on Sale or Distribution of Nitrous Oxide”to Title 9 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code to Establish Regulations Prohibiting the Unlawful Sale or Distribution of Nitrous Oxide in the City.” Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the recommended action and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: Nitrous oxide, commonly known as “laughing gas” or “whippets,” has become a growing public health and safety concern in Huntington Beach and throughout Orange County. Although nitrous oxide has legitimate medical and commercial applications, it is increasingly being misused as a recreational inhalant, creating challenges that require regulatory action beyond current state law. Sold widely under the guise of “whipped cream chargers” or “culinary use,” nitrous oxide is inexpensive, packaged in colorful and youth-oriented designs, and readily available in smoke shops, City of Huntington Beach Printed on 10/29/2025Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-854 MEETING DATE:11/4/2025 convenience stores, and online. Unlike alcohol or cannabis, there are virtually no point-ofsale restrictions, normalizing nitrous oxide as a cheap, easily accessible drug among young people. The recreational use of nitrous oxide is not harmless. Short-term effects include disorientation, nausea, blackouts, and impaired motor control-creating immediate risks to users and the public, particularly when combined with driving or disruptive behavior. Chronic misuse poses even more serious consequences, including vitamin B depletion, irreversible nerve damage, paralysis, cognitive impairment, and even death. The Huntington Beach Police Department has reported a sharp increase in nitrous oxide-related arrests, rising from 28 in 2023 to 89 in 2024, and 113 arrests already recorded in 2025. This represents more than a 400% increase since 2023. This upward trend underscores the urgent need for proactive intervention. While California Penal Code § 381(b) prohibits possession or use of nitrous oxide for intoxication, it does not effectively address sales through the “culinary use” loophole. As a result, retailers continue to profit from recreational distribution while law enforcement is left to prove individual intent, limiting the effectiveness of enforcement. Neighboring jurisdictions-including Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, and the County of Orange-have recently acted to close this loophole by adopting ordinances prohibiting the sale, distribution, and recreational use of nitrous oxide. Adopting a similar ordinance in Huntington Beach would safeguard public health, provide law enforcement with a clear and enforceable tool, and reduce community impacts. A municipal ban on the sale, distribution, and recreational use of nitrous oxide will close existing regulatory gaps, limit youth access, reduce public nuisances, and affirm the City’s commitment to proactive public safety. Environmental Status: Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment do not constitute a project.

Attachment(s): 1.Twining, Gruel, Williams Memo City of Huntington Beach Printed on 10/29/2025Page 1 of 1 powered by Legistar™ City Council Meeting – Council Member Items Report To: City Council From: Butch Twining, Councilman Andrew Gruel , Councilman Chad Williams , Councilman Date: November 4 , 2025 Subject: PEDESTRIAN AND BIKE SAFETY 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 | www.huntingtonbeachca.gov ISSUE STATEMENT Keeping cyclists and pedestrians safe on a busy road like PCH is about more than just traffic management—it’s about protecting lives and accessibility for everyone that makes this stretch of the coast special. Every day, locals and visitors use PCH to walk, run, and bike. But the same qualities that make it iconic—its popularity and access along coastal towns—also make it dangerous for people traveling outside of cars. By working together to improve visibility, calm traffic, and build safer spaces for everyone, we can create a corridor where drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians coexist. In June, Public Works applied for the Safe Routes to School Grant, targeting the Pacific Coast Highway and Beach Boulevard Safety Action Plan. In 2027 the City hopes to receive those funds totaling more than $600,000. Every October the HBPD promotes National Pedestrian Safety Month, provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. HBPD reminds divers to always take extra precautions to help protect pedestrians and offers driving safety tips. As part of an upcoming Caltrans project, PCH from Bolsa Chica to Beach Blvd will see improvements. CalTrans will formalize the bike lanes and add buffer zones between the bike lane and the travel lanes from the Santa Ana River to Beach. These efforts, and continued support and planning, represent meaningful steps toward a safer, more connected coastal community. RECOMMENDED ACTION Direct the City Manager to continue to explore pedestrian and bike safety projects and funding, and to work with CalTrans and local legislators to support, identify funding, and prioritize pedestrian and bike safety projects.
