By unanimous consent, full reading of Resolution Number 3329 was waived. Mayor Grgas reported that the City Council has been requested to support by resolution the position of the Orange County Citizens Advisory Board on Civil Defense with regard to civil defense planning for nuclear war and to assist the Board in coordinating a series of public forums on this matter. Councilman Brownell acknowledged the purpose of the Citizens Advisory Board to gain public recognition for their goals, however, referred to the language of the proposed resolution and stated he did not feel it was the purpose or duty of the City Council to participate in this type of activity. Counci1member Risner expressed her views regarding the proposed resolution, opposed supporting a group for which the C~ty does not have adequate knowledge of nor control over, as well as indicating support for their evaluation and position relating to civil defense. Mrs. Risner stated she did not feel any decision should be made on this issue without additional information and indepth study, and recommended that any City policy should be consistant with federal, state and county plans, the League of California Cities policy resolution relating to crisis relocation planning, and that the views of the City's Civil Defense Director be considered. Counci1member Risner continued, referring to various documents and communications that had been provided to the Council relating to civil defense and preparedness. Police Captain, A1 Chafe, stated he also serves as the City's coordinator of civil defense, and reported that the position of the Orange County Emergency Services Region One Manager, James Alexander, is that there will be no crisis relocation plan put into effect in 1984, also that under current legislation, no federal, state or county monies may be spent for such relocation planning. Captain Chafe referred to several statements contained in the Advisory Board materials supporting the reSOlution, which he deemed to be misleading, relating to a relocation plan and expenditure of funds to implement any planning for.mass evacuation in the event or threat of nuclear war. In addition, Captain Chafe made reference to the California Emergency Plan adopted in 1975 which addresses the commonality of planning for man-made and natural disasters, a subject also referred to in the Board paper. Captain Chafe reported a total of $10,000, $6,000 City funds, expended for security purposes during the recent two-day anti-nuclear demonstrations at the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station. Mayor Grgas requested that a detail of those expenditures be compiled for the information of the Council. A member of the Council recommended that the Advisory Board set their own public I I I 12-12-83 I forums or seek the co-sponsorship of the County. Mayor Grgas expressed his feelings that the proposed resolution was merely requesting support from the City to coordinate public forums to provide information to the public and gain public input, and did not demonstrate support for the organization nor their position on this matter, however, stated he did not personally agree with relocation planning for the event of a nuclear war. Discussion continued with members of the Orange County Citizens Advisory Board on Civil Defense, Jean Bernstein, Orange County Alliance for Survival, Elizabeth Parker, Member of the Orange County Board of Education, Margo Topper, Interfaith Peace Ministry, and Philip Cutler, Businessman, Costa Mesa, speaking to the efforts and purpose of their organization and urged Council support to coordinate their proposed public forums. Counci1member Risner moved to table this item and to direct the staff to study similar resolutions adopted by other cities, as well as the policy statement of the League, and that this information be presented to the Council at a later date for consideration, at which time the Council may wish to consider supporting the concept of public forums. Councilman Brownell seconded the motion. The City Manager stated that if it is the intention of the Council to support a public hearing process, he would suggest that the staff confirm the status of the FEMA Integrated Emergency Management Plan for Orange County, contact Ms. Carol Hopwood to verify that Orange County will have a roll in implementing the plan, thus Seal Beach, and encourage a citizen participation process to whatever element the City intends to prepare. Discussion continued. Mayor Grgas moved a substitute motion to amend the "Now Therefore" clause of the proposed resolution to read "the City of Seal Beach supports the Orange County Citizens Advisory Board on Civil Defense to coordinate a series of public forums with the County of Orange, State, FEMA and other various civil defense organizations which would allow citizens to become aware of all information to make an informed judgement, such hearings to begin at the earliest possible time."

AYES: NOES: Brownell, Grgas, Laszlo, Risner, Vanderstaay None Motion carried ITEM "s" - APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS - RECONSTRUCTION OF SEAL BEACH PIER - PHASE III The Director of Public Works stated that Phase III of the reconstruction consists of utility replacement, lights, fishing catwalks, lifeguard tower, two boat landings and repair of the pier end. The Director noted certain changes proposed in the design: 1) that the lifeguard tower be constructed on the east side of the pier; 2) that the main boat landing be located entirely along the east side of the tee end of the pier; 3) an additional 400 square feet added to the tee end in the area of the snack bar to allow delivery vehicle parking; 4) that the handrails be constructed of wood; and 5) that the lights be a "turn of the century" style in order to re-establish the original pier appearance. Lengthy discussion followed regarding the preference of lighting fixtures for the pier, one bulb versus two, the location and height of the light standards, the proposed use of bollards, and coordination of the lighting style to future Main Street improvements. The I 12-12-83 I Director explained the process by which the staff had selected the proposed single bulb lighting fixture, which was felt to be attractive, energy efficient and fitting the linear appearance of the pier. Council indicated that the style of the light standard was satisfactory, however, should the Council select the double bulb, some concern was expressed with placing that fixture at the narrow entrance to the pier, and it was suggested that consideration be given to use of the single bulb at the pier approach and the double bulbs on the body of the pier. It was also requested that an architectural rendering be provided the Council prior to a final decision. The City Manager suggested that the bollards be deleted from the lighting plan, and that the Council direct their deliberations toward the lighting style, single versus double bulb lights. The City Engineer stated that the cost difference between the one or two bulb lights would be approximately $12,000. A member of the Council requested that consideration be given to increasing the height of the light standards from twelve feet to eighteen feet. Mr. Johnson referred to the time schedule for completion of the pier, stating the importance of going to bid for Phase III at this time for a mid-January bid opening and suggested that if need be, an addendum or change order to the lighting specifications could be prepared and provided to the contractors when a final decision is made on the lighting, recommending no longer than a two-week delay. It was noted by staff that the contract with the consulting engineer does not call for architectural renderings, therefore an added cost will be incurred for their preparation which could range between $500 to $2000. Discussion continued. Risner moved, second by Laszlo, to approve the plans and specifications for Phase III of the pier reconstruction with the understanding that an addendum or change order will be made to the lighting specifications, and that the staff be directed to obtain architectural renderings of the pier and lighting for the first meeting in January.

Mr. Joseph also reported that the City Attorney had recommended certain changes to the endorsement, which are acceptable to C.H.I.P. Mr. Joseph also verified that the program has not yet begun in Seal Beach and that the Orange County Fire Department, during contract negotiations, agreed to participate in the program to conduct the home safety analysis. Mr. Richard Zizzian, C.H.I.P. representative, responded to various questions posed by the Council.
