PUBLIC HEARING - 1986/87 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET
Mayor Clift declared the public hearing open to consider
the proposed 1986/87 fiscal year budget. The City Clerk
certified that notice of the public hearing had been advertised
as required by law, and reported no communications had
been received either for or against this matter. The City
Manager presented the budget message, reported that the
budget is a balanced document reflecting $13,856,290 revenues,
$12,358,900 expenditures, and proposed reserves of $3,560,450.
He explained that the proposed 1986/87 reserves reflect
a Contingency Reserve in the General Fund of approximately
three percent, Liability and Workers' Compensation, Community
Redevelopment and Trust Fund Reserves, which includes the
$350,000 reserve for Zoeter School. Mr. Nelson pointed
out that as a result of the budget workshops, the Council
modified the staff recommended budget as follows: deleted
$926 National League of Cities dues1 requested staff to
study adjustment of fees to reflect services rendered;
requested staff to study revision of business licenses
to provide for an administration fee and gross receipts
tax1 authorized replacement of a copier, two typewriters,
one Parking Control vehicle, six pack sets, the addition
of one police officer, and enhancement of the reserve program
in the Police Department; reduced estimated costs for street
lighting consistent with historical expenditures1 increased
estimated revenue sharing funds by $27,000; included as
revenue an estimated reimbursement of workers' compensation
costs1 authorized a first year lease/purchase of a vac-all
sweeper; replacement of the Recreation Department vehicle
with a used vehicle1 included funding of the Rossmoor/Leisure
World bUS1 funded a site manager for the MORE program at
North Seal Beach Center1 continued funding of the Swim
Team coach1 provided funds for sidewalk reconstruction
and beach sand replenishment1 included funding for microfilming
services in the City Clerk's Department1 and provided funds
for slurry seal of streets in the Bridgeport and Hill areas.
He noted that some of the expenditures mentioned were offset
by General Plant and Equipment Funds.
Mayor Clift 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. Art Boynton,
1111-1/2 Seal Way, President of the Seal Way Improvement
Association, expressed appreciation for the provision of
beach sand replenishment funds, expressed his concern about
a long term solution to the sand erosion problem, and suggested
a fund be established as revenues become available to provide
permanent corrective measures. Mr. Dave Potter, 1007 Seal
Way, former President of the Beach Erosion Committee, also
expressed appreciation for the $30,000 allotted to sand
I
6-23-86
replenishment for this fiscal year, and urged that
consideration be continued to implement the consultant's
recommendations for a long term resolution of the erosion
problem. Mr. Joe Ribal, 1215-1/2 Seal Way, President of
the Old Town Rental Property Improvement Association,
acknowledged the time and effort of the Council and staff
in preparing the budget document, and referred' to the 1984
Moffat and Nichol beach erosion study and the recommendations I
resulting from that study for long term resolution of the
erosion problem, noting specifically extension of the easterly
groin, placement of additional sand in conjunction with
the extended groin, or construction of an offshore breakwater.
Mr. Ribal pointed out the sizeable expenditure estimated
for each of the recommendations, the limited financial
participation anticipated of other governmental agencies
for such construction, and urged that the City consider
establishing a fund to ultimately provide local monies
towards resolving the beach erosion problem. There were
no other communications1 Mayor Clift declared the public
hearing closed.
Noting that although the Council has come to agreement
on the proposed budget as reported by the City Manager,
the Mayor requested that the adoption thereof be postponed
until the full Council is present. Wilson moved, second
by Grgas, to hold over Resolution Number 3607, adopting
a budget and revenue sharing program for fiscal year 1986/87,
and Resolution Number 3608, setting the appropriations
limit for 1986/87, until an adjourned meeting to be scheduled
for Monday, June 30th.

ESTABLISHING SPEED LIMITS ON CITY STREETS AND RESCINDING
ALL RESOLUTIONS IN CONFLICT THEREWITH." By unanimous consent,
full reading of Resolution Number 3617 was waived. The

as presented at this time, suggesting that should there I
be concerns regarding specific streets, the staff could

the City's authority to issue and uphold citations has
recently expired. The Director of Public Works presented
the staff report, reviewed the procedure, pursuant to State
law, to permit local authorities to adjust existing speed
limits based upon a "traffic and engineering" study, and
noted that a speed zone survey is required every five years
by State law. Mr. Hemphill reported the study indicates

that existing speed zones are appropriate and warranted
on all City streets with the exception of Almond Avenue
(Aster to Jasmin), Bolsa Avenue (Pacific Coast Highway
to Seal Beach Boulevard), First Street (Marina Drive to
Pacific Coast Highway) and Seal Beach Boulevard (Electric
Avenue to Pacific Coast Highway), a five mile per hour
increase justified for those streets. He clarified that
speeds in residential areas and school zones are twenty-
five miles per hour pursuant to State law. Mayor Clift
stated his objection to the theory of State law for adjustment
of speeds, and expressed concern with the speed limit on
Almond Avenue with school children utilizing the two existing
bus stops on that street, also with the existing speed
on Lampson Avenue of forty-five miles per hour, and requested
additional information from the staff to reconsider those
areas of concern. Councilman Grgas stated his feeling
that the local jurisdiction should have the ability to
establish speed limits that are felt to be enforceable,
noting his objective to reduce speeds on Seal Beach Boulevard
through the implementation of the Master Improvement Plan.

3617 as presented.
