PRESENTATION - CAPTAIN BERNITT - NAVAL WEAPONS STATION
Captain Bernitt said he had requested to address the Council
with regard to a process that is on going at the Station with
regard to employees. He noted news articles this past week
that basically reported the privatization of all of the
civilian employee positions at the Weapons Stations on both
the east and west coasts. He offered that a few terms were
not exactly reported accurately, the problem not that of the
media rather the use of English by the military, which he
wished to explain. Captain Bernitt said the military is
looking at competitively bidding on the civilian positions
from both a government and private sector standpoint, the
process is called outsourcing, if a private company wins the
bidding process then it becomes privatized, if the government
wins it then stays in-house, regardless, the process is still
called outsourcing, the government and the military continue
to interghange the wo+~s privatization and outsourcing, thus
it is no wonder the news articles misused those terms. He
stated that Seal Beach is in the midst of a three year
process, looking at about two hundred fifty positions at the
Station, as is the other three detachments at Concord,
Fallbrook, and puget Sound, staff is currently analyzing the
positions, trying to come up with a better organization that
would be more competitive and then at the end of the process
put those positions out for bid for which a private
contractor mayor may not come in to try to place employees
in those positions, then someon~ ~n Washington, D.C. will
make the decision as to whether the government bid is the
strongest and best value or the private contractor. Even
though the process was referred to as three years, actually
the process has been on-going since 1966, not something new,
and the military process has been on-going since 1983, the
military at this time in total is looking at competitively
bidding on two hundred thirty thousand positions throughout
the Department of Defense, the two hundred fifty in Seal
Beach a small portion of that, the entire process can be seen
nationwide and worldwide. Councilman Snow inquired if there
will be information forthcoming from the Naval Commanders or
from Washington, D. C. to explain this change to the public,
as of now he has had calls expressing concern with turning
over the handling of weapons to civilians. Captain Bernitt
responded that since 1966 there have been many articles on
the privatization effort, offered to provide the Council with
the information that he has, for anyone having concern with
the Weapons Station going to a private contractor he would
offer that this was done in Hawaii in 1985 and is operating
fairly well. Councilman Boyd inquired if the people who
handle ordnance and munitions at the Station currently are
not civilian personnel of the Department of Defense, to that
the Captain responded that they are civilian employees, this
is not military personnel handling weapons, this is civilian
employees putting in their competitive bid and to keep their
jobs. Councilman Boyd declared this to be an issue of
managed competition where either an existing provider bids on
a process to continue, or an outside provider enters the
competitive bid process, to that the Captain agreed.
Councilmember Campbell cited the scenario of the contractor
low balling the bid, is awarded the contract, then hires the
people who were working prior to, yet at a lesser rate of
pay, as a result there are often very unhappy people, however
to that it was pointed out that there is a mandated federal
prevailing wage. The Captain said the process is not perfect
however has evolved from the lowest bidder to the best value,
that the specific language of the law that governs the
process, again, the people who make the decision as to what
I
I
3-22-99
is the best value for a particular installation, that takes
place in Washington, D. C. and takes place across the board
looking at competitive bids from all sources, so there is a
benchmark as to the value. Councilman Snow offered that he
is very much aware of what is going on at the Weapons Station
and several other military installations, what is being
requested is a simply worded explanation for information of I
the public. Councilman Boyd suggested that any future data
relating to this issue be transmitted to the City for
information of the Council and public, to which Captain
Bernitt agreed.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mayor Yost declared Public Comments open. Mr. Gene Vesley,
Riversea Road, stated he is an employee at the Weapons
Station and has been for about fifteen years. He said from
the standpoint of an employee and resident the morale at the
Station within the ordnance department at present is quite
low, there is concern, that because of being under a cost
analysis study, the union is behind the work force as is most
of the administration yet there is an overhanging cloud, and
his concern other than his job is for the safety of the
community, the work force, and everyone involved, not only
the Navy but the people who store and handle the explosives,
this is a function that is under-studied, there are some
contractors now that work with non-explosive materials. Mr.
Vesley stated his concern also with the media publishing too
much information relating to the Station, citing as an
example the article some two weeks ago with an overview map,
pinpointing areas that, up until that time, was thought to be I .
confidential information, there used to be frequent briefings
on security and behavior once leaving the Base. Mr. Reg
Clewley, Catalina Avenue, stated objection that the public no
longer has the opportunity to request an item removed from
the Consent Calendar for separate action, the language of the
agenda format changed. He complained about the amount of the
telephone bill, and other items he said is of interest to the
public. Mr. Clewley objected to any conduct to the noticed
public hearing proposing further amendments to denied
variance 5-90, denied zone text amendment 96-1, and failed
Ordinance 1419, thereafter requested staff to provide
direction as to how to proceed on the matter that was deemed
to be decided by the failing of 1419, staff agreed to bring
back the issue at an upcoming meeting, it is now over a year,
and now a public hearing is scheduled to resurrect the issue.
He noted that the issue of ZTA 96-1 started with a stop work
order in December of 1989, directed attention to minutes of
December 8, 1997 where a statement was made that due to the
opportunity for the public to speak at public hearings in the
past, there was no need for further hearing, to which Mr.
Clewley deemed the noticed hearing is a waste of public
money, objected to inclusion in the staff report for ZTA 96-1
of a minority report from then Commissioner Dahlman where he
had recused himself from deliberations because of conflict of I
interest, objected also to a statement that if the existing
decks are allowed to remain that the property owners be put
on notice that a permit is required, as well as for future
decks, to which Mr. C1ewley stated the persons had been
placed on notice, noted a statement made on September 30th
that the Planning Commission determined to make no changes to
the Code, and disagreed with a statement on December 8th that
the ordinance reflected the Commission determination at the
conclusion of the hearing. Mr. Clewley stated the Council is
in no position of holding a hearing on ZTA 96-1, the ZTA
failed as did the variance before it and ordinance after it,
I
I
I
3-22-99
nor was there any referral back to the Planning Commission,
this was a matter for considering in closed session and the
only action now is to direct staff to commence an enforcement
action against the offender. Again, a public hearing is
expensive and unnecessary. Mr. Stan Anderson, Balboa Drive,
commended the Council on the recent study session, and given
his involvement with the Business Association and Chamber
said he is working up a survey to try to bring together some
of the elements that are important to getting a good parking
management program on Main Street, there are now meters in
the small lots for which there are pluses and minuses, but
not on the Street, there should be cooperation for a total
management program. He complimented the Council too for
trying to work with the businesses, Mr. K's Grill an example,
the businesses do not want to see things open until 2:00 a.m.
yet the Council and staff have talked to the businesses and
it has been pointed out that there needs to be buffer time
for some. Mr. Anderson complimented the town hall meeting
hosted by Councilman Boyd, has suggested something similar to
Mayor Yost to be held periodically, the discussion relating
to the San Gabriel River was informative, and suggested that
such information flow continue. Mr. Gordon Shanks, Surf
Place, said as a leader in the effort to keep hours of
operation down on Main Street one of the reasons was because
of the people who resided across the alley, yet different
areas need to be looked at in different ways, the Council
needs to realize that the City is composed of districts and
the people of their district have responsibilities that are
different from the entire City and must be dealt with in that
manner. With regard to the Naval Weapons Station, no one is
talking about closing that facility, rather it is people
going into what exists to take care of things, what would be
bothersome to him would be the length of a private contract,
a contract for five years per se where it takes someone maybe
a year and a half to learn the handling of weapons,
thereafter the contract is cut at the end of the five years,
that would be a concern, a twenty year contract would be much
preferred, emphasizing again that no one wants or is talking
about doing away with the facilities, however operating in
the manner it exists, that is quite likely what concerned
many. There being no further speakers, Public Comments was
closed.
RESOLUTION NUMBER 4696 - HONORING LISA HINSHAW - GIRL SCOUT
YOUTH SERVICES
Resolution Number 4696 was presented to Council entitled "A

ITEM "G" - APPROVAL - PARCEL MAP NO. 97-165 - BIXBY OLD
RANCH - SENIOR CARE FACILITY/HOTEL/RESTAURANT SITES
Counci1member Campbell noted that the Parcel Map showed only
the signature of the surveyor, inquiring if it shouldn't be
fully signed before Council approval. The Director of Public
Works explained that the procedure is Council approval first
with a direction that the City Engineer and City Clerk
execute the Map which is then forwarded for recording.
Councilmember Campbell asked if the avigation easements run
with the land, to that the City Attorney advised that it is a
recorded easement.
Campbell moved, second by Doane, to determine that Parcel Map
97-165 is in substantial compliance with the previously
approved tentative parcel map, approved Parcel Map 97-165 as
presented, and instructed the City Engineer and City Clerk to
execute said Map as required.

Item "H" - TRACT MAP NO. 15767 - BIXBY RANCH COMMERCIAL TOWNE
CENTER
Councilmember Campbell noted that this is the parcel behind
the trees, asking if this Map establishes the driveways. The
Director of Public Works explained that this Map establishes
the new lots, the driveways are established through the plan
and design process. Councilmember Campbell said she had been
told the issue of the driveways would be looked into, the
desire is to eliminate one of the driveways and relocate
another to a different location, this still shows all four
driveways, stated she does not want to find out that the
process has gone too far and the opportunity to eliminate or
relocate has been lost. The Manager said that is a separate
issue. Councilmember Campbell requested clarification that
the action on the Tract Map does not impact the ability to
eliminate or relocate a driveway, the response of staff was
that that was correct.
Boyd moved, second by Yost, to determine that Tract Map 15767
is in substantial compliance with the previously approved
Tentative Tract Map, approved Tract Map 15767 as presented,
and instructed the City Engineer and City Clerk to execute
said Map as required.

ITEM "I" - RESOLUTION NUMBER 4699 - COMPLETION - OFF-MAIN
STREET PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENTS / SIGNAGE PROJECT - PROJECT
NUMBER 801
It was noted that consideration of this item was continued
from the last meeting. Councilmember Campbell referred to
page two, paragraph three of the staff report, questioning
who granted the design exception for the handicapped spaces
in this parking lot. The Director of Public Works
acknowledged that he did. Councilmember Campbell reported
receiving a packet of information from someone in Long Beach,
stated that apparently the lot is not designed properly, it
is understood that the request of staff is for approval of
3-22-99
the construction as that is separate from the design, the
contractor constructed an acceptable project however it was a
faulty design. She noted that there are two handicapped
spaces side by side, there is supposed to be a four foot ramp
in front of the vehicles in accordance with State Code, if
the handicapped spaces had been opposite one another there
would not be the concern, the wall adjacent to the planter I
denies access to the rear. She mentioned the reference to
'unreasonable hardship', stated there is a requirement that
application be made for a hardship and asked if that had been
done. The Director of Public Works stated there was no
requirement to apply for a hardship case, there had been
discussion with ADA consultants who have on-staff attorneys
who advised that this project does in fact fall into the
category of a design exception, this is typical of things
that do not require approval by any State agency, the local
agency has full authority to make these determinations, this
parking lot is in full compliance with any standards of the
State, however, it may not be the ideal parking situation and
to accommodate that particular regulation would require
either the acquisition of the adjacent property or lose five
to eight spaces, the lot could not be properly designed
without losing those spaces. Councilmember Campbell claimed
that if the decorative wall were not there the front ramp
could be extended, to that the Director responded that it
could not because in order to have a four foot clear area to
the front, the spaces would need to be moved out into the
aisleway, that would make the aisleway too small, to
compensate for that the parking spaces on the other side
would need to be eliminated. To mention of a ramp to the
front, the Director responded that that is an overhang area I
that is in standard compliance with the design of a parking
lot, it is not considered a legal walkway. Councilmember
Campbell again said if the handicapped spaces were located
opposite one another then people could be allowed to walk
behind, quoted language from related State codes, and
suggested that if the handicapped spaces were restriped any
concern with compliance would be avoided. It was confirmed
that there are the same number of spaces in the new off-Main
lot as there was previously, and to the suggestion of
restriping with a handicapped space on either side of the
aisle, it was noted that one space would be lost with that
type of design as an exit zone of five feet would be required
adjacent to a space. Discussion continued, claimed that the
lot was designed improperly, noted that interpretation of ADA
requirements is often difficult, comments were made by some
that the design was not satisfactory to them, said that the
Council should have been more diligent in reviewing the
design even though it was not approved by the Council, the
request is that there be acceptance of the work performed by
the contractor, the contractor can not be asked to go back
and correct design at this point, possibly some changes can
be made in the retention period, that comment countered that
the Council is being asked to approve something that was not I
designed correctly in the first place, stated that henceforth
more attention will be paid to plans and specifications for
public works projects as the Council representatives should
have a say, when this bid award was made it is evident that
the ADA requirements were not fully known, in the future any
contract award needs to be accompanied by design, plans, and
specifications, that they either be included in the agenda
packet or the Council representative should meet with staff
at City Hall for review thereof, comment made also that it
was not felt that the parking lot design was faulty.
3-22-99

Boyd moved, second by Yost, to determine that Project Number
801 has been completed in accordance with the contract
documents, declared the work to be accepted, the total amount
of the contract is in the sum of $303,197.04, directed the
City Clerk to file the Notice of Completion for recording
within ten days from the date of acceptance, and directed
staff, upon expiration of thirty-five days from the filing of
the Notice of Completion to make the retention payment to
Excel paving in the amount of $30,319.70, this by the
approval of Resolution Number 4699 entitled "A RESOLUTION OF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DECLARING WORK TO
BE COMPLETED AS TO PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR PROJECT #801,
OFF-MAIN STREET PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENTS AND SIGNAGE PROJECT,
FY 1998/99, CONTRACT ENTERED INTO BETWEEN EXCEL PAVING,
INCORPORATED AND THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH." By unanimous
consent, full reading of Resolution Number 4699 was waived.
The Director of Public Works noted that the retention is to
assure that the subcontractors are paid, in this case there
is a list of items that need to be completed by the
contractor, if not completed within the thirty-five days the
City will continue to withhold the retention, and to make any
changes to the scope of this project would not be allowed
during this period unless agreeable to the contractor.

BOLSA CHICA CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS - STATUS REPORT
The Director of Public Works presented a status report
prepared by the Director of Development Services in response
to citizen comments at the last meeting relating to the
proposed improvements to the Bolsa Chica Channel, the
replacement of an existing rip-rap lined storm drainage
channel with a concrete rectangular channel and asphalt
maintenance roads from Belgrave Avenue to the 405 Freeway.
The status of the project is that final construction plans
are being drawn and anticipated to be completed about mid-
1999, the project to bid in late 1999, and an anticipated
construction start of April 2000. He emphasized that the
primary purpose of the Channel is to provide protection from
flooding, one of the first steps to upgrade the Channel to
accommodate a larger storm than it can at this time.
Councilmember Campbell expressed regret that this project has
moved forward to this point. Boyd moved, second by Yost, to

COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilman Doane said, in jest, that he will soon be spending
some time in jail which will require his friends to come and
bail him out. To that he announced the upcoming Tip-A-Cop
event that is held annually, this year on April 1st, he has
volunteered to be jailed, that will necessitate donations on
his behalf, that money is actually a donation to the Special
Olympics, that Police Department personnel will devote their
time, and urged the participation of all for this worthwhile
cause. Councilmember Campbell mentioned that the unveiling
of the plaque in honor of A. J. Summers took place on
Saturday, the plaque to recognize the ded~cation of Zero
Tower in his honor, a nice ceremony. She reported that the I
BOy Scout beautification, planting project had been rained
out and will be rescheduled for the upcoming weekend.
Councilmember Campbell mentioned that a gentleman had
inquired about buying a fire hydrant, it is understood they
are sold as scrap, and suggested that when they become
surplus they could be included in the City auction or sold to
antique dealers. As a result of confirmation that
africanized honey bees have been found in Seal Beach, at the
SY Nursery and on College Park Drive next to Edison Park,
Councilmember Campbell reported having spoken with Dr. Bob
Sjogren, director of the Vector Control District, the agency
in charge of surveillance in Orange County, and described
what Dr. Sjogren reported as the pattern of the africanized
honey bees, the anticipated time frame before there is a
swarm in the immediate area, and what people should be aware
of as to the habits of these bees. Councilman Boyd mentioned
the upcoming Seal Beach Car Show on April 24th, and thanked
Mr. Anderson for his comments relating to the town hall
meeting, agreed that the meeting was good, recognized the
Fish Company for furnishing deserts, and offered another such
meeting in about six months. Councilman Snow said he had no
comments on the items passed at this meeting, yet he wants to
be in a position of exploring things for the future, revenue I
for one is going to be a big item. Mayor Yost thanked the
staff for the preparation of a packet to be submitted for
funding consideration of a bicycle path from the San Gabriel
River to Surfside. With regard to the Trailer Park, Mayor
Yost said it is a special place with special people and it is
his intent to support them. He noted that the City of Los
Alamitos ranks seventh in the County in terms of sales tax
revenue, it is about double the sales tax revenue of Seal
Beach with about half the population, and given the
litigation of Los Alamitos against Seal Beach, he would like
to see how Los Alamitos is dealing with the environmental
3-22-99 I 4-12-99
issues with regard to the expansion of the Ganall Lumber
facility and the addition of plow Boys.
