ITEM "U" / STREET TREE MASTER PLAN
Mayor Shanks indicated there would not be any time limit on the speakers.
Staff report was presented by Director of Public Works (powerpoint presentation)
- highlighting the 6 questions: A - right tree / right place; B - bulb outs (no trees)
direction from council; C - option of type of trees to be planted; D - removal
policy; E - trimming schedule; F - official role of City Tree Advisory Board - staff
and the board have disagreements over some areas and staff requests direction
from the City Council. Jim Caviola, member of CTAB /Ocean Avenue resident
submitted a City Mission Statement and a different list of tree planting
recommendations (not the list included in the staff report). Director of Public
Works clarified that the consultants did not make any recommendations and staff
is recommending that the CTAB be formalized and Council set some directions
for the board.
15 speakers: all support trees - difference of opinions as to the past decisions
that were made regarding the bulb outs (planting trees vs. promised no trees
being planted) - right to a view - bulb outs have calming affect on traffic -
disagree with the consultant used by the City to prepare the report - support to
continue the tree advisory board as volunteer group and not impose the brown
act requirements - tree advisory board was formed as a requirement to apply for
grant monies - Trees for Seal Beach is a fund raising group (comprised of
members of the tree advisory board) - trees in parkway not bulb outs - poor
planning regarding the watering of the bulb out plants.
After hearing from the speakers and Council deliberation it was moved by Antos
moved, second by Sloan, to adopt the Mission Statement and approve the Street
Tree Planting Recommendations that was provided to Council by Jim Caviola.

COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilman Antos responded to comments made during oral communications at
the 11/09/09 council meeting regarding him and his family - his son has never
discussed the affairs at the Joint Forces Training Base with him and has every
right to speak during oral communications at a council meeting - he has never
asked to have his personnel file destroyed or removed (City Attorney clarified
that City Council Members are not privy to any personnel records except for the
City Manager and City Attorney and the retention for personnel records is 10
years after separation) - and asked the chief of police to go to the district attorney
to investigate the harassment and threats against him and his family from current
and past individuals - extended a Merry Christmas to everyone; Mayor Pro Tern
Sloan wished everyone a Merry Christmas; Councilman Miller stated he would
vouch for Councilman Antos' son that there was no breech of information -
inquired about reverting to the previous classification specifications of the
Director of Public Works to include engineer credentials - would like to see on the
agenda a economic report on the jail and tennis center membership report (City
Manager replied that the job flyer is asking for the credentials and the status
reports have been scheduled for January); and Councilman Levitt extended to all
of his neighbors, friends, and residents in Seal Beach a happy and healthy
Hanukah and a very Merry Christmas and a good New Year.

ITEM "M" / RESOLUTION NO. 5950 / TENNIS COURTS RESURFACING /
PROJECT NO. BG1004 (Miller)
Councilman Miller inquired about the new resurfacing material /process that was
mentioned by the speaker during oral communications that would extend the life
of the resurfacing and question the procedure of rejecting the bid for failure of
signing a document - The City Engineer indicated that the bidder did not include
the new method (would be an additional cost) - consulted with 3 different
manufactures on tennis court resurfacing and met with the tennis manager -
under the public contract code if the bidder did not sign the bid bond it is deemed
unresponsive and cannot be considered. The City Attorney clarified that it is the
practice of other cities to reject non - responsive bids, will go out for re -bids if
directed by Council and time permitting; and with the discretion of the Council
may waive any irregularities in the bid process - need to be consistent in the
City's process. The Community Services supervisor stated that they did some
research on the new product that was mentioned - this is a tape system that goes
over the cracks - the cracks still exists - this creates a dead ball effect and not a
true bounce to the ball - would go over $60,000 and no guarantee. Miller moved,
second by Sloan, to adopt Resolution No. 5950 entitled "A RESOLUTION OF
THE SEAL BEACH CITY COUNCIL AWARDING THE CONTRACT FOR
TENNIS COURTS RESURFACING PROJECT NO. BG1004 AT SEAL BEACH

binding commitment on the part of the City, it is an expression of serious interest
in the project - this would help in a draught year - the Director of Public Works
added that the advantage would be that the City would be able to participate in
the negotiations with Poseidon and the other agencies that are participating and
the City would be excluded if they do not enter into the MOU. Levitt moved,
second by Sloan, to adopt Resolution No. 5952 entitled "RESOLUTION OF THE
SEAL BEACH CITY COUNCIL DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO TAKE
