Councilman Yost requested Item "I" removed from the Consent Calendar for separate consideration. Boyd moved, second by Campbell, to approve the order of the agenda as revised. AYES: NOES: Boyd, Campbell, Doane, Larson, Yost None Motion carried ANNOUNCEMENTS Councilmember Campbell mentioned that this past week there was an effort in College Park East to remove some of the trees near the townhomes, it was felt that some have fireblight, some root rot, need to be better spaced and pruned in a manner that will allow them to grow free rather than trimmed in a ball shape. Her understanding is that that was not considered by the membership of the townhomes, they will now have a meeting next week, based on the outcome of that meeting and further meetings with the City Manager, a decision will then be made, it is important to determine if the trees are in fact diseased and with what, therefore no trees will be removed this week. The City Manager said he was advised this date that the meeting will be held on March 13th at 7:00 p.m. Mayor Doane said he noticed that the long awaited Seal Beach Boulevard off ramp to Lampson Avenue is now open, it is hoped that this will resolve a number of traffic problems in that area. Mayor Doane mentioned also that he has observed that the Leo Club has done a number of I 3-11-02 good things in the community, and invited Nancy Grgas and Scott Newton, two of the Club founders who continue to be involved, to receive his 'Friends Helping Friends Succeed' pins. He asked that they also describe some of the Leo Club activities during the Public Comment periqd. I PRESENTATION I RETIRED SENIOR VOLUNTEERS Ms. Kim Masoner, President of the Seal Beach Chamber and Business Association, presented, on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, a plaque in recognition of the five Senior Volunteers for their contribution of five thousand hours to this community. Chief Sellers noted that this is the sixth anniversary of the Senior Volunteer Program which began in March of 1996, since then there have been several academies which have resulted in the current forty-eight senior volunteers, collectively they have donated more than one hundred twenty thousand hours to the City, the result is many actual dollars saved through their efforts. He mentioned that the volunteers initially started as the eyes and ears for the merchants to report problems in the business district of Old Town, through the building of the community safety building at the pier the program received more attention, expanded their services to other business areas such as the Rossmoor Center, they serve the department as data entry operators, have cars attended to, fleet maintenance, patrols, etc., since the Recreation Department is now with the Police Department umbrella there have been a couple of volunteers that have indicated their desire to work with Recreation, therefore one can say that the volunteers have expanded to not only meet the needs of the community but the Police Department. Chief Sellers introduced Larry Michaels, Mary Kazner, Sandy Sandusky, Laurel Mauk and Jim Deason and recognized their personal contribution of five thousand hours, their leadership rolls with the volunteer program, each not only having inspired others to join but to contribute to the many programs offered. The recipients received a round of applause from those present. I PUBLIC COMMENTS Mayor Doane declared Public Comments to be open. Mr. Charles Antos, Seal Beach, made reference to agenda item "I", the contract of the City Manager, inquired as to why it was being considered at this time, there are three years remaining on the current contract, why not just change the time limit if that is the desire, it is likely the Council will change in the future, possibly reconsider the contract at that time, more likely closer to its last year. Ms. Mary Michae1ian stated that she lives in the area where her Council representative referred to the tree removal. She said she would like to bring this issue to the attention of the community, the residents were not aware of this until several trees were marked with red paint, that is about two-thirds of the forty-eight trees on Aster, Basswood, and Cand1eberry, when she became aware she began speaking to the residents of the area and the Old Ranch Townhomes, began collecting names to merely ask the City to reconsider the plan for removal and find a way to save those trees, and about one hundred three people signed a petition in support. The original petition went to the City Manager for a meeting, the Manager met with about ten residents of the area, he expressed concern with root rot and fire blight, he produced two reports, however her understanding is that they were not valid companies at the time of the report, those reports asked for tree removal, 3-11-02 did not specify which trees were diseased, she then obtained the services of a horticulturist who said the fire blight was not a cause to remove a tree, it can occur every two or three years, can be treated to maintain the tree, and that the root rot would require a pathological test of the root system to determine if that was the case, the provided an evaluation which she would submit for the record, given that information residents are concerned. Ms. Michailian mentioned that the trees were planted in 1975, she lives across Aster from them, they are pear blooming trees, seemingly in good health, there is uncertainty as to whether they should be removed, to that she suggested that there should be an evaluation of each tree as to its condition as they now stand, and a plan for how they would be replaced. Ms. Michailian asked that the removal be delayed, it is an entryway into the area, the only such tree area. Mr. Jerry Anderson, Sandpiper Drive, expressed his opposition to amending the contract of the City Manager, as a result of the recent election there will be a new member of the Council in May, they should be involved, there should be no amendment at this time. Mr. Anderson said it has been heard that there are City financial concerns, Bixby is not performing as anticipated, that the utility users tax can not be cut, he would not dispute that, he agrees that the City is in financial trouble, if that is so then why is the Manager receiving a raise, the Recreation Director was not replaced, wait and evaluate Bixby down line. He mentioned the recent measures relating to street sweeping and tree trimming, in his estimation it was a poor piece of work, both were defeated at the polls, it was not the additional money it was the presentation and that it made no sense, after that the Recreation Department was hit, now it is the Building Department, if the people of the community were allowed to vote on either issue there would still be a Recreation and Building Department, his greatest concern is the timing. Mr. Scott Newton, Seal Beach resident present to speak to the Leo Club, mentioned that people have just seen young girls who are learning volunteer ism and the seniors that continue to volunteer, but there is also a middle spectrum of teenagers in the community called the Seal Beach Leo's, it is part of the Lions Club, basically a community service group for teens between twelve and eighteen years old who provide community service, there are currently fifty-five members that come from all parts of the community, and so far this year, which starts in May, they have donated eighteen hundred service hours, have raised over $6,000 through fund raising projects and at some point they will be giving that back to the community. Mr. Newton mentioned that the Leo's are celebrating their five year anniversary, he acts only as their advisor, the members are doing great things, they involve themselves with McGaugh School, the Recreation Department, raise money for the Haunted House, the pool and many other projects. volunteerism is alive and well with the teenagers. Mr. Jerry Tone, representing Hellman properties, said as an update with regard to the one hundred acre lowlands Hellman will be working with the Wildlife Conservation Board, hopes to be on their agenda in May, at present issues and title matters are being resolved, moving productively. He said great news is that Proposition 40 was passed, that was $2.6 billion, that should raise great pride in Californians for passing the largest open space bond issue in the history of the United States, however the conservation agencies are now trying to determine what to do with this money, their staffing is light, they have been overwhelmed in the last week with ideas and conservation projects, stretching the staff, however Hellman is in line with money I I I 3-11-02 I from Props 12 and 13, working closely with the WCB, in connection with that is the dedication of Gum Grove Park, that paperwork is being prepared, in the next sixty to ninety days it is hoped there will be some celebratory activities to honor the dedication of the Park and more information on the lowlands. Mr. J. B. Kulakowski said he wished to speak to the redevelopment of the Old Ranch Tennis Club, he is a member of the Club, it has been ,a good neighbor to the City for thirty-two years, however when the redevelopment of the club was taking place there was not much involvement of the Club membership in the planning process. He mentioned having sent a letter to the Manager this week, would like to request it be forwarded to the members of the Council to request that the membership be involved in any redevelopment plans that takes place. Mr. Les Hauth, Seal Beach, retired university professor, expressed his objection to extending the contract of the Manager before the first contract is concluded, possibly there should be consideration if this is the person that people want to spend another four years with, he does not know the Manager that well, yet time is not urgent, let this person prove that he is the right person, there is plenty of time. Mayor Doane said perhaps some questions will be answered when that item is considered. Mr. Gordon Shanks, Surf Place, announced that the Homeowners Association will hold their monthly meeting next Thursday, 7:30 p.m. at the Mary Wilson Library Senior Center. with regard to Item "r" and the election, he claimed there always seems to be a problem in this City as to the clarity of how things are written so that the citizens will understand, he obtained a copy of Item "I" and upon talking with members of the Council the Contract Amendment is logical yet that is not so by just reading the document, at the end of a year the performance of the City Manager is reviewed and if it is determined that a percentage salary increase is warranted that makes sense, yet details of the increase can not be determined by the written document. Mr. Shanks emphasized the need to increase the quality of written materials, making them clear, when things are not clear the people get confused and the history of this community is to take it in the worst attitude, only because such things happened so many times. Ms. Beverly Pearce, 16th Street, recalled that at the last meeting there was a great deal of concern with the fire station, she has learned that the Fire Authority Board meeting will be the 28th, suggesting that consideration be given to obtaining a bus or have people caravan to that meeting to express the feelings of this community as to the importance of the volunteer firefighter program and engine, she will personally seek donations for transportation and possibly the City could participate, as she has said in the past it is important to take information to the people, important also to make the public officials aware of community feelings. Ms. Rita Brenner, Trailer park, expressed her opinion that the lengthy extension of the City Manager contract is not appropriate, comes at a bad time, her understanding is that the Manager has a City computer at home, a cell phone, car allowance, her feeling is that there should be a better record before any amendment and the new Council representative should be included. There being no further comments, Mayor Doane declared Public Comments to be closed.

AYES: NOES: Boyd, Campbell, Doane, Larson, Yost None Motion carried I ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM "I" - EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT - CITY MANAGER Councilman Yost moved a substitute motion to not extend the City Manager contract for four years. There was no second to the motion. I Councilman Yost noted that although it is not the practice to discuss personnel matters in public he had already indicated his concern therefore removed this item from the Consent Calendar. To the invitation of the Mayor for the City Manager to comment on this item, the Manager stated he felt it would be inappropriate. Counci1member Campbell pointed out that people often make comments however they do not have full information, there was question as to the decision of Council, matters of a personnel nature are private and confidential, it is difficult to provide the public with every scrap of information, she provides her residents with a newsletter quarterly, she can not do additional newsletters for each bit of information yet information is disseminated as quickly as possible. With regard to the contract of the City Manager, Councilmember Campbell mentioned that he has been with the City for a year, there was an annual review, an appraisal was done, as is customary standard procedure, as well as a salary review, the Manager has the option of leaving his employment with a thirty day notice, the same option lies with the Council, in this case the contract extension for four years is a vote of confidence. To the comment that he was provided a computer for home use she advised that from an accounting standpoint computers are considered to be obsolete in four years, even though this is a small community it must have the technological capabilities to compete with other agencies, members of the Council also have computers, faxes, and cell phones, that is the way of 3-11-02 life today, the Manager attends many meetings, he needs to be accessible, that is accomplished through a cell phone. Councilman Yost expressed his feeling that the hands of those coming after should not be tied, by extending the contract four years that could make the contract more expensive over time, if the contract ends at a specific time there is a one year severance package, whether it,is paid or not at the time of expiration is a question, yet that choice could become more expensive in the future, his feeling is that out of respect one should not saddle those coming after with such contract, in addition, given the financial issues his preference would be to wait until after the budget hearings to consider a raise for the Manager, there are serious financial concerns, the Recreation Director has not been replaced, that department has been cut in half, the secretary is now in Public Works, there are considerations with the Police Department, those are his reasons for voting against this item. Councilman Boyd expressed his opinion that the City Manager has done a good job, whether the community is big or small it is a tough job. He mentioned that the contract of the Chief of the Orange County Fire Authority was recently evaluated and provided with a substantial salary increase, the private sector seems to pullout the good people eventually, to that this community has lamented many times that City Manager's only tend to stay for three to four years, that is because a split arises at the Council level and/or a small vocal faction of the public that may not like the person, the choice of leaving is in the hands of the Manager or the Council, in this case there are four members of the Council that want to keep this City Manager around and give the opportunity for some consistent leadership for a period of time, in the monthly edition of the Western City magazine there are nine city manager or executive director vacancies in Southern California alone that all pay more than Seal Beach, one issue that needs to be looked at is how does this City remain competitive in the market to be competitive with the surrounding cities. Councilman Boyd offered that this City Manager has undertaken some of the toughest issues ever, for that he supports the contract amendment. Councilman Yost did concur that the Manager has done well with water quality issues, is moving forward with the boom project, a water quality master plan, filters for the storm drains, some very tangible efforts towards cleaning up the ocean and the River, he lauds him for that, and that is why he supported him coming to Seal Beach, yet he has some issues of concern. I I Councilman Boyd moved to approve Amendment No. 1 to the Employment Contract between the City of Seal Beach and John Bahorski. To an inquiry of Councilmember Campbell it was noted that the salary increase is effective July 1st. The City Attorney clarified that the original contract was for a term of three years, one year has expired, the amendment would add two years to the remaining two years of the contract, the two years and raise effective July 1, 2002 are the only changes proposed. Councilman Larson pointed out that the City had hired a professional organization, interviewed several applicants, the Council chose a City Manager that had experience in coastal cities, water problems, and related subjects of the environment, his feeling is that that was a good choice, the Council made an initial offer which he accepted, that being less than what he had asked to begin with, and with the understanding that there would be a review I 3-11-02 I at the end of one year, he would like to keep institutional memory, that can only be done by keeping city managers, and that can only be done by showing confidence, his vote for the additional time is a vote of confidence yet recognizing that termination is an option should things not work out. The election saw two members of the Council unopposed therefore have terms of four years so it is not like an entirely new Council. Having been the City Attorney of a number of cities, Councilman Larson said he has respect for the Manager in what he is trying to do to put the City on a businesslike basis, it is likely that can not be done without stepping on some toes, it is felt in time that concern will go away, the Manager is being paid to do the best he can while facing a number of problems, nonetheless being the lack of money, therefore he will support the motion. Councilmember Campbell seconded the motion. AYES: NOES: Boyd, Campbell, Doane, Larson Yost Motion carried PUBLIC HEARING / PROPOSED RESOLUTION NUMBER 49a7 - APPEAL - SITE PLAN REVIEW 02-1 - BRIDGEWATER WAY As mentioned earlier, this item was postponed until the meeting of March 25th. I INTERIM REPORT - SAN GABRIEL RIVER DEBRIS BOOM - PROJECT NUMBER 50086 The City Manager noted that this is an interim report, the funding for this project came from the State, the next step for the project is submittal and review by the Resource agencies as well as the flood control districts of both Los Angeles and Orange counties due to hydraulic concerns. The Public Works Director reported that the City is presently working with some of the resource agencies, the Los Angeles Department of Public Works, the Orange County Public Facilities and Resources Department and the City of Long Beach on this project. The Director introduced Mr. Mark vukojevic, the new Assistant City Engineer, coming to Seal Beach from Claremont. I The Assistant mentioned that the intent of the presentation is to review the preliminary design of the debris boom net, the main purpose of a debris boom or net is obvious, to reduce debris and contaminants from entering the San Gabriel River and eventually wash up on the beach, to that photos were shown of a first flush or heavy rain where debris flowed down River and washed upon the beach as happened last November. He explained that the City has chosen, in conjunction with the designer, a location that is at a point of confluence of two different rivers, the Coyote Creek and the San Gabriel River watersheds which is approximately two plus miles upstream from the beach, this location was chosen due to the lack of influence by tidal waters backwashing up into the channel, also it is concrete lined therefore provides easier access to maintain it, there are also maintenance points in that area where construction equipment and crews can be set up to remove the debris. The Assistant reported that there have been very few projects of this nature started, the City of Los Angeles has done a similar type as has Los Angeles and Orange counties, Los Angeles developed a temporary boom that has been somewhat successful in trapping debris, that boom is in an area of close proximity to where this boom is proposed, they have learned from it, that information has been shared with the designer 3-1l-02 for Seal Beach, as this type of construction is a relatively new concept. The Assistant described the boom as a special type of net, chains, wires, and a special type of strut buoys which provides additional stability for the net, it is important to note that the net is designed to capture trash' and debris on low or medium flow conditions, if there were to be a major rainstorm event, what would commonly be deemed to be a five year flood, the debris boom will be designed to snap and close itself down thereby preventing any upstream flooding. Photos were shown of examples of upstream connections where there are smaller creeks and channels flowing into the San Gabriel River, not during a rain storm but a normal day flow of debris which will eventually end up on the beach. Councilman Yost mentioned that more funding is needed however with the passage of proposition 40 it is likely funding may be easier to obtain, thanks too to Councilman Boyd who through his efforts was able to secure funding for some of the water quality improvements. Councilman Boyd mentioned that this project has been three years in the making, the funding for the project was actually achieved in 1999, the process takes a long time given the various jurisdictional issues, yet it should make a difference on the beach. To the question of Councilman Larson as to whether the boom netting would break and wash away when it snaps, the Assistant explained that it will snap and swing to the opposite side. Boyd moved, second by Yost, to receive and file the interim report. I AYES: NOES: Boyd, Campbell, Doane, Larson, Yost None Motion carried CITY ATTORNEY REPORT None was presented. I CITY MANAGER REPORT None was presented. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Campbell made reference to the recent election and loss of Measure W in that the measure was approved by the voters, stated there is already correspondence from South County seeking alternate airport sites, Orange County lost an opportunity to provide extra runways, that will impact the County, there will now be a push for alternate runway sites, it is known where South County wants them to go, this was not an environmental issue for the park, it was a political issue, within ten years they will look for an airport here. Councilman Yost thanked those who elected him to a second term, stating he will do his best to represent the people and their issues. Councilman Boyd said he was pleased to announce that the Governor has included $800,000 in the State budget to assist the rebuilding of the groin at the pier, there was a stop-gap repair last year, the groin does protect the beach and helps to keep the sand in place. It is understood too that the Traffic Signal Coordination project on Seal Beach Boulevard is also moving forward, that is a Measure M funded project. The Public Works Director confirmed that to be correct, a fiber optic project will connect the signals on the Boulevard from the 405 to Pacific Coast Highway, once that is in place it will be operated by a traffic management center at the City Yard to coordinate the signals, as the Bixby project finishes up there will also be the intercoordinate back with Los Alamitos, that is the primary cause of delays at present however that should soon be resolved. Mayor Doane mentioned that he was part of the I 3-11-02 / 3-25-02 I initial study of the coordination of signals some eight or nine years ago, it fell flat because of the number of demand signals that are in the chain, those are the signals that do not activate unless a vehicle wants to access Seal Beach Boulevard, does that not still throw the coordination off. The Public works Director noted that the coordination is somewhat complicated with a lot of factors involved besides the side streets that tie into Seal Beach Boulevard, there has been a prior program where all of the signals and controllers were replaced, that had been a major reason as to why the signals could not be tied together, what is happening is that the traffic engineers are going to an open architecture system where all of the signals can talk to each other, that is why it will be possible to coordinate the signals together for the most part. CLOSED SESSION No Closed Session was held. ADJOURNMENT It was the order of the Chair, with consent of the Council, to adjourn the meeting until March 25th at 6:30 p.m. to meeting in Closed Session if necessary.
