careful about how the harbor is being used today.
Council Member Daigle requested that an analysis of the economic impacts be
conducted. She noted the importance of the federal government acting on the harbor
lines issue.
Mayor Henn noted the federal government's responsibility to dredge the harbor and
believed that each area should be looked at individually. Regarding the pending
project application, He pointed out that the dock meets the requirements so approval
is appropriate.
In response to Council questions, Traffic Engine rin seed the design of the
neighborhood traffic circle compared to a roundab a reported that the design
left in the four -way stop. Public Works Director adum also noted that t
neighborhood does not have sidewalks so there are pedestrians in the street
'discussed other design techniques that could assist with traffic calming.
Council Member Rosansky stated that, since there is no money to condu robust
traffic circle, he recommended removing the traffic circle since it was s sed to be
temporary.
Council Member Selich expressed concern about the number of accidents on Bayside
Drive, the difficulty in returning from the beach on the bike route, and .the speed
Inuits on Balboa Island'. Public Works Director Badum indicated that the Citizens
Bicycle Safety Committee will be looking at the bicycle route issue. He added that
having medians could also assist with speeds on Bayside Drive and noted that speed
limits have already been reduced. Mayor Henn suggested placing large dots along
the bike lane; however, Public Works Director Badum noted that they are noisy and
may cause accidents for the bicyclists.
City Manager Riff indicated that staff will look at the three areas, determine the

budget, and bring something back to Council at the next meeting.
Bob Koop expressed suppoqLfor relooking at traffic remedies.
City Attorney Hunt utilized a PowerPoint pre tat' to discuss the proposed
changes to Council Policy F -14 (Contracting for Se es), particularly relative to
levels of authority, unique contractual relationships with instructors and recreatio
contractors, on call- agreements, and amended contracts. He reported on
administrative policies would work in conjunction with Council Policy 14.
Regarding Council Policy F -6 (Purchasing Authority for Goods and ce9),
Administrative Services Director McCraner discussed goals, reviewed t roposed
levels of authority, and discussed administrative policies.
Council. Member Daigle suggested that a provision be included that provides for a
report from the City Manager on a regular basis relative to the contracts that were
not approved by Council. Mayor Henn believed that a provision should be' included
that allows for Council to stop the reporting requirement or reconsider the need for "
the reports. City Manager Kill stated that he will draft reporting language and bring
it before Council for consideration.
In response to.Council questions, City Attorney Hunt indicated that the Charter
does not limit the amount fortontracts, but. only limits the amounts for public works
contracts- since'those have to be'bid.out for anything over $120,00'0. He added that

the Charter states that Council has authority to contract but may delegate authority
to staff by resolution.
Jim Mosher took issue with a contract the City entered into regarding a cell phone
transmitter site, believed that the proposed policies are incompatible with the
Charter, and questioned whether the approval of contracts can be delegated to
department directors.
City Attorney Hunt stated that the proposal is consistent with the contracting
authority granted by the City Council. He added that the policies are only changing
the amounts, not the strucre or delegation.
W. R. Dildine sugges ma g reference to the Uniform Cost Accounting Act
rather than chaneirn a amoun annually.
Regarding Public W s "contracts, W. R. e s Bested that the City consider developing
an informal bi ordinance, estab ' a oww9��� threshold for purchase orders, and
having an electro rocess for b' p 20,00`6�in order to keep the construction

In response to Council questions, City Manager Kiff stated that in the past, the City has
not charged for this type of inspection because the City believes that the inspections are
essential to keeping the bay and ocean free from sewer spills. He also stated that, if a
restaurant has a tank that was less than 750 gallons, the facility would be subject to more
frequent maintenance depending on the type. of food provided by the establishment. No
establishment is required to go back and reinstall a larger receptor. However, new
improvements would require compliance with the 750 gallon tank requirement.

d it actually be filed and pursued. Council Member Curry statee
to the City Attorney to determine whether a matter should be handW
d to outside counsel because the City has a good track record it
with these types of issues.
Council Member Selich indicated that he appreciated that this matter was before the
Council now rather than after monies have been spent.
Denys Oberman asked why the City decided to enter into a 25 -year agreement with s
business owner who has refused to comply and who apparently disrespects this community
and this business owner was not required to apply for a use permit in a manner required o:
other similar business owners. City Attorney Hunt responded that this is a very complei
issue that was addressed in the context of the Morningside Zoning Agreement for whicl
many public hearings were held and that matter is not the subject of the matter at hand.

He believed that the speaker's questions go beyond the scope of the published agenda. The
Council deliberated the matter and determined that this project brings value to the City
that renders this matter worth pursuing and this item simply addresses the cost of that
matter, should it be filed and prosecuted. Mayor Henn stated that it is germane to the
City's obligation to defend the matter and City Attorney Hunt agreed.
Dick Nichols stated that this item is about group homes and that the business is supposed
to have a license to operate these types of homes. Mayor Henn pointed out that this item
is about a budget amendment. A
Jim Mosher stated that he could not understand Xam is being requested. City
Manag er Kiff stated that the $262,000 is intended budget for the balance of
the year. The other amount is what he forecastence of the year that was
available from other budget accounts. The net budg $262,000.
Lori Morris believed that Mr. Nichol's questio as valid. City A ney Hunt explained
that this request is for monies for out -of -po t erbeys'pent es the City w likely incur as a
result of multiple litigations during the blance of ar. It highlight ere the money
has been spent to date and what he antisY #ates for the balan f the next six
months. There is a possibility that a small ion of that amount may be tilized should
the City be sued by Morningside Recover and ther, in that event, the City Council will
decide to utilize in -house couns r seek outside - unsel. He emphasized that he wanted
the Council to see what the anti expense wo a for the balance of the year. This
item is not about Morningside co v d this ag a item is not specifically about
group homes, but discusses the ex .nses fo 'de coon and the need to augment the
City's budget to cover those expense

Jim Mosher questioned Council's desire to delegate contracting authority to certain staff
members and asked whether the Brown Act would be subverted. He requested that typos
be corrected.
City Attorney Hunt stated that there is no issue with respect to the Brown Act since the
provision states that it is a notification and it is not polling the Council. He added that, if
any Council Member wishes to have an issue brought to them regarding an emergency
contract, that one Council Member can take that action. 1A
In response to Mayor Pro Tem Gardner's questions, City t`torney Hunt explained that

housing, and the the money could be pledged into COPs which may be able to fund the
capital costs to build the center. He suggested keeping Finley Avenue as joint use and
believed that the canal would be costly to construct and maintain. He emphasized that the
area needs to remain a space for people. He expressed opposition to building the sky bridge
since it would take people away from the retail environment; however, the sky bridge path
should be the path for the public. He requested that the loading area be fully screened
with an articulated concrete wall on the east side.
Mayor Henn indicated that he agreed with the community that Council should move .
forward carefully. He emphasized that this, is a concept plan only and this matter will not

decisions, like determining how the specific planning for the area proceeds forward with

support for Alternative 5B. He asked that Council approve the concept this evening with

access on Finley Avenue. Mr. Howard stated that his group strouirly encourages a parking

supports the destination and urged Council to commit to the anchor uses before City Hall
uses were finalized. She also encouraged Council to look at market rate residential uses
that would be compatible with surrounding uses, rather than assisted living and affordable
housing which would be more suitable for other areas.
Willis Longyear stated that he would like Council to consider an open space /central plaza
with high quality housing. He believed that the Lido Village seems to have been taken
over by recovery homes which has placed a burden on the area.
