Proposal E, the Clerk explained that Surfs ide would continue to vote as a unit within Surfs ide and the additional voters within the area of Central Avenue and sixth street would vote at a location that is traditionally used for local elections. Mr. Soukup suggested that Surfs ide would pose no more a burden to District Three than had Leisure World, and suggested that Surfside present their views. Mr. Stark referred to a previous comment regarding Council votes, noted that actions of the Council generally require three votes rather than the five mentioned, and again suggested that two coastal area representatives could be of benefit to Surfside.

I BOLSA AVENUE BEAUTIFICATION Councilmember Forsythe referred to the parkway areas along Bolsa Avenue where the asphalt is breaking up, the sight of which is aesthetically displeasing and posing a safety concern, and suggested a community fund raising effort to allow improvement of that area with either brick pavers, interlocking tiles, or other material. She requested public suggestions or ideas be communicated to Ms. Carla Watson, Ms. Wendy Rothman, or herself. Councilmember Forsythe mentioned a news article with relating to Orange County Fire Department facility inspections for relating to structural safety in the event of an earthquake, reportedly cracks were found at Seal Beach Station 48, therefore it is the plan of the Fire Department to move certain heavy equipment out of that Station. She asked how remaining equipment could be accessed in the event of an earthquake if the station is in such disrepair, what is the status of station 44 at 8th Street and Central, and' if the city would realize any credit if the large fire apparatus is relocated from Seal Beach. The City Manager stated he had not been aware of any proposal to relocate equipment, however research had produced a previous facilities seismic report by Orange County Fire which has now been referred to the City'S Engineer for preparation of a cost estimate to bring the station up to seismic standards, that the City'S participation and financial responsibility are also being evaluated as it relates to the existing fire contract, this information to be presented to Council during the mid-year budget review. 10-28-91 CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEMS "G" throuah "T" The city Manager requested that Item "L", the Collective Defense Agreement, be removed from the Consent Calendar and rescheduled for next meeting, councilmember Forsythe requested that Item ~'I" be removed, and Councilman Doane requested that Item "K" be removed.

The Development Services Director noted that the item on the agenda was meant to inform the Council of this recent legislation at the State level I I 10-28-91 I requiring the preparation of seismic hazard maps by the state Geologist for the purpose of further defining areas within known seismic zones and establishing hazard levels for those areas, and stated he felt certain that any information the cities may have that the state Geologist office does not will be requested from those cities. He reported that to develop the maps there would be need for a cost Sharing program between the state, the City, and the impacted property owner, the cost of which is unknown at this time, and given the amount of work that has been done to date, specifically with regard to the Hellman property" there may not be the need to do extensive field research to prepare the maps. He also explained that the city is required to have a Seismic Safety Element, yet at this time it is not certain to what extent a city would be allowed to exceed the state guidelines. Councilmember Forsythe indicated interest in serving as a representative of city government to the advisory committee at such time as it is formed. Hastings moved, second by Forsythe, to receive and file the report relating to the Seismic Hazards Mapping Act of 1990. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Doane, Forsythe, Hastings, Laszlo None Wilson Motion carried I ITEM "K" - RESIGNATION - BEACH COMMISSION Councilman Doane said during a recent conversation Mr. Brown indicated he had not agreed to serve on the Beach Commission.

AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Doane, Forsythe, Hastings, Laszlo None Wilson Motion carried I ITEM "L" - COLLECTIVE DEFENSE AGREEMENT - u. S. vs. MONTROSE CHEMICAL CORPORATION It was the consensus of the Council to removed this item from the Consent Calendar to be considered at a future meeting, as requested by the City Manager. ~ PUBLIC HEARING / PROPOSED ORDINANCE NUMBER ~~4 - REAPPORTIONING COUNCILMANIC DISTRICTS Mayor Laszlo declared the public hearing open to consider reapportioning of the councilmanic districts. The city Clerk certified that notice of the public hearing had been advertised as required by law, and reported receipt of a communication from D. M. Callis, Jr., 1013 Seal Way, expressing support for th~ Committee Proposal C. The Director of Development Services presented the staff report, noted the proposed Ordinance sets forth the boundaries of Districts Two, Four and Five as recommended by the Redistricting committee, with the District One and Three boundaries yet to be determined. Mayor Laszlo invited members of the audience wishing to speak to this item to come to the microphone and state their name and address for the record. Mr. Laird Mueller, 8th Street, suggested that the boundaries of Districts One and Three be kept simple, easy to understand, keeping neighborhoods intact, and spoke for Proposal C with Marina Drive and Pacific Coast Highway the dividing line and Surfs ide moved to District Three. In response to a previous comment, Ms. Dorothy Whyte, Seal Beach, pointed out that the October 3rd News Enterprise contained an article on redistricting and reported the various proposals were available. Ms. Whyte said she had suggested Proposal E, 10-28-91 offered that placing Surfs ide in District Three would appear to be the most convenient yet that concept has not appeared to be acceptable to the Surfside community, and explained that in the Committee's effort to attain populations as equal as possible it appears that the guidelines were not totally adhered to, yet neighborhoods remain basically intact. She noted that if the triangle areas on the I westerly side of Old Town as shown in Proposal E were to be placed in District One the population would not be as even as it would be if left in District Three, yet there appears to be a desire to leave areas intact. In reference to Proposal C she offered that if Surfs ide is shifted to District Three, District One population would be 5195 and District Three would be 5203, if Surfs ide and the triangle areas were to be included in District One, District One population would be 5663 and District Three would be 4735, and if there were no changes with the exception of the Leisure World portion of the existing District Three, District One population would be 5390 and District Three would be 4846. Mr. Gordon Shanks, 215 Surf Place, Chairman of the Redistricting Committee, clarified that Proposal A was put forth by the Committee representative of District One, stated the recommendation of the Committee was that Surfs ide not be split, therefore they forwarded Proposal C that called for Surfs ide to be placed in District Three. He said from a personal standpoint he felt Proposal E causes the least incursion into Old Town, and expressed his concern with the appearance that Old Town feels that District Three is encroaching, an attitude that will serve to divide the community. Mr. Bob Montgomery, President, Surfside Board of Directors, reported he had called a special meeting of the I Surfs ide Board and residents after the last meeting to discuss the various proposals, and although there was no decision on anyone Proposal, there was agreement on those' that were not felt to be of benefit to all of the communities, specifically that Surfside does not want to be split and wants to be represented by District One. He pointed out that Old Town and Surfs ide are contiguous neighborhoods with a number of common problems such as parking, beach erosion, sand replenishment, building standards, and the Navy expansion, and for those reasons Surfs ide is adamantly opposed to Proposal C. Mr. Montgomery requested that a means be found to keep Old Town and Surfs ide intact and in District One. Ms. Beverly Casares, Seal Beach, spoke favorably of the proposal of Ms. Whyte with the easterly boundary of Pacific Coast Highway, to approximately Fifth Street, south to Marina Drive, continuing to the westerly City boundary, and allowing Surfs ide to remain in District One. She spoke of a standing desire of Hill residents to have control over their elected representative. Ms. Casares noted that the downtown area from Main Street to the westerly boundary has traditionally been considered the family side of Old Town where Main Street to Seal Beach Boulevard is the mUlti-dwelling side, that Old Town neighborhoods do not want to be split, downtown residents want to vote for downtown I representatives, and suggested that straight lines that follow traditional boundaries will not be challenged. Mr. Mark Soukup, 310 - 16th Street, said he had presented Proposal A in an effort to maintain the core of Old Town and stop the encroachment, at that time there was no thought of removing,Surfside from District One, the the various areas of the City have been able to accomplish keeping their neighborhoods intact with the exception of Old Town and it appeared the only way Old Town could enjoy the same privilege was to place Surfs ide in District Three, yet Surfs ide now wants to remain in District One to the detriment of Old Town. Mr. Soukup spoke favorably of 10-28-91 I Proposal C, providing clear boundary lines, transferring the self-governing entity of Surfs ide to District Three, yet said it appears the District Three Council representative does not support that concept, and alternatively suggested that the districts remain as they presently exist or preferably that an attempt be made to restore the specific neighborhood areas. Mr. Walt Miller, Seal Beach, said his concern was with the proposals to move Seal Beach Boulevard to District Three, that there has been an effort to improve that specific area for a number of years, that the Boulevard has a compatibility with Main Street and should remain in the same District. Mr. James Funk, 215-1/2 - 15th street, , said he felt Proposals 0, E, and that of Dorothy Whyte were the most logical, that Surfs ide should not be divided and should remain in the coastal district where they historically have similar problems, and that District Three already has a number of problems on which to concentrate with its varied areas. Ms. Seretta Fielding, Seal Beach Boulevard, said her comments were also on behalf of Mr. Pryor, and spoke for the Seal Beach Boulevard area to remain in District One, citing specifically the benefit to District One with the improvements that are anticipated to be forthcoming to the business area along the Boulevard. She added that if it is necessary to divide the districts, that division should be accomplished on the First Street side of the city where there is residential and no existing commercial. There being no further comments, Mayor Laszlo declared the public hearing closed. It was the order of the Chair, with consent of the council, to declare a recess at 8:24 p.m. The Council reconvened at 8:36 p.m. with Mayor Laszlo calling the meeting to order. Councilmember Forsythe displayed enlarged district maps and described the boundaries of the various proposals, pointed out that District Three currently represents portions of the downtown area south of Marina Drive, emphasized the need to follow the basic redistricting guidelines where, as nearly as practicable~ the boundaries are to constitute natural areas of contiguous and compact territory~ and stated her personal preference for Proposal E, expanding the existing boundaries by portions of two blocks, rather than extending District Three into a new area of downtown. Councilman Doane said there is an appearance that there are three parts to Seal Beach, the portion north of the freeway shops in Rossmoor center, Leisure World patronizes the Leisure World Center, then there is the downtown area which consists of Old Town and the Hill, noted that Leisure World is too large to be one district as is the downtown area, and suggested that minor boundary changes will not make any significant difference. He spoke in support of Surfside remaining in District One and indicated a desire to look closer at the figures represented by the proposal of Ms. Whyte. Councilmember Hastings stated her preference for Proposal C or possibly the proposal of Ms. Whyte, spoke for the opportunity to return Old Town to a whole, complete area without incursions and leaving Surfs ide in District One, resulting in an increase of only two hundred sixty~four persons which she was willing to accept. She made reference to certain reapportionment plans that were upheld by the courts, said she could see nothing wrong with an overall plan specific to areas of the community. Councilmember Hastings again stated her desire to include all of Old Town and Surfs ide in District One. I I Councilmember Hastings moved to accept the proposal of Ms. Whyte with a boundary line of Pacific Coast Highway westerly to Fifth Street, south to Marina Drive, westerly to the City 10-28-91 boundary, with Surfside remaining in District One. Discussion followed with regard to population deviations, noted that should such plan be established District Three would become the least populated with 4753 persons and District One would be the highest populated with 5664, and that the total deviation between the highest and lowest populations were the most important numbers from a challenge I standpoint. It was the order of the Chair, with consent of the Council, to declare a recess at 9:07 p.m. The Council reconvened at 9:35 p.m. with Mayor Laszlo calling the meeting to order. Councilmember Forsythe suggested that the redistricting issue be held over until the next meeting to provide an opportunity for accurate calculation of the population numbers and percentage deviations. Councilmember Hastings noted her motion to accept the proposal of Ms. Whyte as previously stated. Mayor Laszlo seconded the motion. The Assistant City Attorney noted that the district populations at this point appeared to be 5654 in District one, 4911 in District Two, 4582 in District Three, 5024 in District Four, and 4927 in District Five. Vote on the motion to accept the Whyte proposal: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Hastings, Laszlo Doane, Forsythe Wilson Motion failed It was noted that the redistricting issue would be continued until the next meet in , Tuesday, November 12th. ORD CE NUMBER - REGULATIONS FILMING A V TIES Ordinance Number 1 45 was presented to Council for first reading entitled "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH ADDING CHAPTER 8 TO THE MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS FOR 'FILMING ACTIVITIES'." By unanimous consent, full reading of Ordinance Number 1145 was waived. The City Manager presented the staff report, noted that the proposed Ordinance governs the issuance of permits for filming activities on location within the City, consistent with the provisions of State law, upon first reading the Ordinance would be forwarded to the California Film Commission for review and comment, after which the Ordinance will be presented to Council for second reading and adoption, also that a Resolution proposing related fees will likewise be presented for consideration. The city Manager recommended that language be added to the end of the first sentence of Section 8-12 to read "...additional general liability coverage shall be required in the event that aircraft, helicopters, or pyrotechnics are used in the filming." Forsythe moved, second by Doane, to approve the introduction of Ordinance Number 1145 as amended, that it be forwarded to the California Film Commission, and subsequently passed to second reading. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Doane, Forsythe, Hastings, Laszlo None Wilson Motion carried POLICY / PROCEDURES / ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTIVES The City Manager reported the purpose of the proposed Policies and Procedures and Administrative Directives is to establish a formal process to express the policies of the Council and implementation guidelines by defining lines of authority and setting forth standards for formats and contents, enhance understanding and clarity of policy to , I I' 10-28-91 I better assure uniform application in the conduct and management of administrative affairs of the City government, may include policies relating to employee training and improved internal communications and coordination between departments and staff, the Handbook to also be available to the public. He recommended adoption of city Council Policies Numbered 101 and 102, estab~ishing a process for the issuance of city council and city Manager issued Administrative Directives. Forsythe moved, second by Doane, to adopt City Council Policies numbered 101 and 102. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Doane, Forsythe, Hastings, Laszlo None Wilson Motion carried I COUNCIL CONCERNS Councilman Doane said the Board of Directors of the Golden Rain Foundation had requested that he present a Resolution adopted by that body on October 24th, 1991, which he read in full relating to concerns with the water quality of the local underground water basin as a result of a recent admittance by the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station of past disposal practices, while legal at the time, that are no longer permitted, from which contamination could have occurred, and as yet the extent of underground water pollution has not been studied. The Resolution concluded by requesting the Federal Environmental Protection Agency and the Regional Water Quality Control Board to conduct extensive testing to determine if contaminants are migrating in such a manner as to come into continuity with potable ground water from which Seal Beach Leisure World residents procure their drinking water. Captain Rob Hempe, Naval Weapons station, Seal Beach, stated he and his family consume the same drinking water as other residents of the community, therefore shares the same concerns with the quality of drinking water as does the Golden Rain Foundation. The Captain explained that over the past four years the Naval Weapons station has met with and briefed the city Councils of surrounding cities regarding past disposal practices, a mitigation meeting was held in July with appropriate news releases to announce the agreement between the Navy and the California Environmental Protection Agency and the Santa Ana Regional Quality Control Board, a landmark agreement between any military agency and any state, as a result of concern and eagerness to show that they are looking after the environment as well as making certain that anything that was done as a result of past practices is restored, the final resolve being that the tests be continued and that independent chemists, environmental engineers, etc., certified and chosen by the State, are allowed Base access at any time to check the test wells to ensure there is no incursion. He mentioned that there are dozens of test wells on the Base that have operated and provided regular testing for years to make certain there is no spread of chemicals that may still exist, and to date there has been no detection of any chemical in any water supply from the wells drilled adjacent to the suspected sites. Captain Hempe assured of the Navy'S commitment that this is an on-going program, as evidenced by the cooperative agreement with the state and Water Quality Control Board. The captain again clarified that there are no contaminated wells, also that although the Base has been conducting tests for a considerable period of time, tests have also been done by independent environmental engineering organizations chosen by the State, and all reports show no more than trace elements of amounts that would be found in any water in the state. In response to Council he stated the station has not been placed on a Superfund List as a certified hazardous I 10-28-91 waste area, yet under that initiative the Base has been able to obtain grants to defray the cost of maintaining the tests and any restoration in the future. The Captain acknowledged that in many years past petroleum was sprayed on the roadways, which was a common practice in a number of rural areas, that research has been done to identify those locations, test wells were drilled and earth core samples I' were taken, and to this point there has been nothing that has leached to the well sites, likewise there are a number of sites that are tested on an on-going basis where it is known that lead base paints were used at one time. captain Hempe stated there was agreement reached at the, July meeting that the city's Environmental Quality Control Board will be briefed periodically, as could the Golden Rain Foundation. - Mayor Laszlo mentioned his concerns with regard to the use of the Naval Weapons station property should the station ever close. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mayor Laszlo declared Oral Communications open. Mr. Bruce Stark, Seal Beach, noted the request that replacement of the deteriorating asphalt adjacent to the planter areas along Bolsa Avenue be considered, and suggested that the Development Services Department be consulted first as he was informed that only vegetation could be placed in the parkway area rather than cement blocks, etc. He also complained that the cIty's legal notices are being published in a type size larger than is required, which he claimed is a subsidy of the Journal newspaper. Mr. Charles Antos, 328 - 17th street, stated the City's drinking water intermittently has an odor and unpleasant taste, inquired as to what is in the water, whether it is an intrusion from the Naval Weapons I Station, something caused by the pipes, or whatever. Councilmember Hastings explained that well water often has those characteristics which is the result of a high sulphur content, yet very healthy. Mr. Antos added that the City has used well water for approximately twenty years, has traditionally been very good, and again asked what is causing the previously mentioned problems with the water. The city Manager offered to provide Council with a report as to the frequency and results of water quality checks. A request was made to obtain recent water tests from the Weapons station. Mr. Antos inquired as to why there are different water and sewer rates for the various areas of the City given that water is purchased at a per acre foot and sewer rates are based upon water usage, specifically the lesser rate for Leisure World, he also inquired why only one of the refuse haulers pays a franchise fee to the city, where the haulers for Surfside, Weapons station, Rossmoor Center, Trailer Park, Oakwood, and Leisure World do not. There being no further comments, Mayor Laszlo declared Oral Communications closed. CLOSED SESSION No Closed Session was held.
