center agreement that was discussed at the last council meeting should be
incorporated in the school district joint agreement for the use of the tennis center.•
(amended -January 12, 2009: Councilman Miller asked that the record reflect
his clarifying comments, as follows: "1) The first council comment /want to
bring up is with regard to the tennis agreement that we approved execution of last
week, one of the items that was read into the record was 3.1 and as it was read
info the record is not how it reflected in the final draft of the agreement and so I
put forth the words that as /have it that was read into the record, 1 don't know
Quinn how do you want me to handle that? (City Attorney responded) Well, I
guess first of all when /vote on something /assume it's going to go the way 1
voted on it to be put in the record -1 mean the way you read it in the record is the
way 1 expect it to be or do 1 need to amend the agreement? We can leave that -
there is only one part of it that /think /didn't agree with and the other got
definitive and it didn't need to be and when I voted yes I voted yes on the words
that you put into the... on the record. So, l will give it to Linda and ah... weallI,carry
it on from there." City Attorney stated that if there is no objection from cor~r~cil
the language will be put into the individual Joint Use Agreement with the$scho 1
district -for consideration at the next meeting); 2) the rate schedule or~the to nis
center should be approved by the council, and 3) would like to hav ~coun~cil give
the Recreation and Parks Commission clearer directions regarding the swimming

ITEM "A" / 2004 BIXBY DONATION (Miller) ::~ ;:°`
The Director of Administrative Services gave a~ background report on the 2004
Bixby agreement regarding the $1,00 ;000 donation. Councilman Miller
commented that it was negotiated with the ~~~,ouncil and Bixby that the $1 M
donation would be spent for the benefit of residents in College Park East and not
for general use of the City; the tennis~center'was in poor condition when the City
took possession of it and over half of tl~ donated funds were used to refurbish it;
the remainder of the funds should not b~e used for the on-going maintenance of
the tennis center; should earmark the remaining funds of $477,000 for College
Park East use only and not for ~fhe a nis center. Councilman Shanks believed
that the Bixby agreement irite~n ed language was for the $1M be designated for
College Park East, but opposed the exclusion of any of the remaining funds
being used for the tennis cente~ Councilman Sloan would like to make sure the
expenditures are mon ti ored. ~ Councilman Levitt stated that if funds are
designated for Colleg~~~Pa~k~ast that his district could also use some designated
funds from the ener~al Fund. Miller moved, second by Sloan, to designate
$477,000 from the General Fund for use in College Park East.

ITEM"-BUJ H®NORARY BADGES FOR COUNCILMEMBERS (Miller)
The Seal Beach Chief of Police provided the Council with information regarding
the issuance of an honorary (facsimile) badge to elected officials and stated he
was not in favor of elected officials having such badges. ~ Councilman Miller
indicated that he requested that Councilmembers be issued some type of
identification to be used in the event of an emergency where they need to be
permitted to enter an area closed off to the public.
With no objection Council agreed to have ID cards issued to all Councilmembers.
ITEM "C" /PAINTING RED CURBS /FIRE HYDRANTS (Miller)
The Director of Public Works recommended that any violations of Vehicle Code
Section 22514 be addressed through enforcement rather than red curbs.
Parking in front of fire hydrants is already covered in the California Vehicle Code
and painting would be redundant. If there is a pattern of repeated violations by
motorists parking next to particular fire hydrants, it can be addressed by

Page - 5 City Council 12-08-08
increased enforcement by the Police Department. Painting the curbs would be
expensive and they would need to be repainted every 2-3 years due to the
quality of paint that is allowed to be used and many people would object to
having red curbs in front of their home or business.
With no objection it was requested to have staff provide a report on the estimated
cost of painting red curbs adjacent to fire hydrants citywide.
CONSENT CALENDAR -ITEMS "D" thru "V"

City Council and the Seal Beach Public Financing Authority to consider adoption
of Resolution No. 5824 (City of Seal Beach) and Resolution No. FA 08-01 (Seal

Purchase Agreement with Bank of America, and make a Finding of Public
Benefit. The City Clerk stated that the public hearing notice was published in the
Sun newspaper on November 27th, 2008, and no correspondence for or against
the matter was received. The City Manager introduced Lolly Enriquez, Bond
counselor from Richards, Watson, & Gershon and Mike Whipple, financial
advisor from MF Whipple & Associates. Mr. Whipple presented an overview of
the Seal Beach Public Financing Authority Lease Revenue Bonds, Se~,es,2009

Mayor Antos then opened the public hearing Spe~kei`s:- Robert Goldberg.
Clipper Way, suggested council wait to see if~, the federal government (new
administration) could fund part of the proje~t`~`and should have the City's
Washington lobbyist push some funding o~'~a Q% low -there is no urgency for
the fire station replacement; and Eldon Alexander, 8th Street, questioned what a
postponement of the project would do to the agreement with Leisure World for
leased area for temporary fire statioriThere were no other speakers the Mayor
closed the public hearing.
Council concerns and responses: . ~~
• Bank of America has co • p itive. rates and was selected because there is an
existing relationship with th C,ity,~and many of the other financial institutions
no longer exist -the adva ~~ t ge is the 4.2% interest rate and minimal costs
associated with this trap action and minimized disclosure requirements.

are used for collat'~ral.
• After comNletion ` f the fire station there will be a valuation of the new fire
`
station to det
'rmine if it adequate to secure the obligation - it is anticipated
that it would be adequate - if not there would be continued collateral
obligati ~'ri"on the City Hall.
~
• The la i
a - d constitution do not require collateral for the Pension Obligation
~
E8~• nds~d
ue to refinancing an existing unfunded debt obligation.
• ou~ld:„~use general fund reserves to pay for the fire station and upon
c - ~ pletion refinance -council could adopt a resolution which would anticipate
at me future date an option to issue debt.
• Wait to see if the City could qualify for federal government funds -would
rather not use city hall and police station as collateral -too many economic
uncertainties for next year.
• Council would like to approve the award of bid for the project (01-12-09)
before closing date.
• Assumption is that the bids will come in lower because of the economic
situation of the country.
• If City lobbyist could give a timeline as to when there would be funds available
then it would be worth delaying the project.
• If there are federal funds available it would take at least one year to apply for
it -funds would go through the state and/or county.

Page - 9 City Council 12-08-08
• Currently the City is in a position which the interest rates are of an historical
low -benefit right now with low construction costs and low interest rates.
With no objection the pre-closing date was changed to January 14th and bond
closing date changed to January 15th. The City Attorney clarified that if Council
adopts the resolutions with the date changes then on January 12th Council will
have the opportunity before the bonds are issued to stop the process.
