PUBLIC HEARING - LIFEGUARD GARAGE and STORAGE FACILITY I
Mayor Brownell declared the public hearing open to receive
input and discuss the Lifeguard garage and storage facility
currently under construction. The City Clerk certified
that notice of public hearing had been published as directed
by the City Council, and reported one written communication
received from Mr. Thomas Earl Stephens, 240 - 16th Street,
in opposition to the facility. Assistant City Manager,
Mr. Joseph, presented the staff report, explaining that
after restudying the matter, staff's opinion is that the
facility is warranted and that the present location is
the most practical and the least costly in terms of
efficient allocation of human resources, vehicles and
supplies. The Assistant City Manager stated that the staff
had reviewed the report prepared by local residents, Mitzi
Morton and Jeri West, and in response to their concerns,
a memorandum had been prepared by the Lifeguard Chief
detailing the various Lifeguard vehicles and their purposes,
the need to centrally locate both vehicles and supplies,
setting forth the need to maintain the vehicles on a day-
to-day basis, and the need for and use of the rescue boat
and jet ski. Mr. Joseph reported further that the staff
had studied decking of the facility and that it had been
determined that such decking would require reinforcement
of the structure to withstand a live load of fifty pounds
per square foot, installation of a forty-two inch high I
guard rail around the roof perimeter and construction of
a five foot wide pedestrian ramp. He explained the
additional cost of constructing same with City personnel
would be approximately $8,000 opposed to $19,200 if
contracted. He also explained that no provision has been
made in the estimated costs for beautifying the ramp and
deck nor architecturally integrating the structure with
the existing Lifeguard headquarters. The City Manager
5-29-84
I
reported that a Coastal Commission memorandum had been
provided to Council, the recommendation of which was to
approve the construction of the 2,200 square foot
storage/maintenance building subject to the condition that
the overall building height not exceed twelve feet, or
no higher than the level of Eisenhower Park. Mr. Parker
reported that the Coastal Commission continued their hearing
on this item pending resolution by the City Council.
I
Mayor Brownell invited members of the audience wishing
to speak to this matter to come to the microphone and state
thei~ name and address for the record. Mr. Robert Smiley,
13630 Alderwood Lane, spoke in support of the facility
at its present location. Mr. Dennie Buell, 501 Riviera
Drive, referred to the reported use of specific Lifeguard
vehicles, recommended their storage at alternate locations,
objected to redesign of the building without further Council
consideration, recommended that Lifeguard supplies be stored
elsewhere and/or in Zero Tower when that structure is built,
referred to the rescue boat and jet ski as recreational
rather than safety vehicles, objected to recent reinforcement
of the structure as it now stands, and expressed his
opposition to decking, stating it would obstruct the view.
Mr. Art Boyinton, 1111 1/2 Seal way, opposed the Lifeguard
facility as it now stands, objected to the tower on the
existing Lifeguard building, and proposed that the Lifeguard
garage be constructed underground at the Eisenhower Park
area. Mitzi Morton, 153 - 13th Street, referred to the
present Lifeguard headquarters consisting of 1,787 square
feet, questioning the actual cost of that construction,
noting there was no reference at the time that the structure
was approved to future storage needs. Ms. Morton also
referred to the recently approved 2,200 square foot garage
facility, which she stated will require additional personnel
as well as communications equipment. Ms. Morton objected
to the structure and the commencement of construction prior
to Coastal Commission approval. Mr. Roger West, l20l
Electric Avenue, objected to Lifeguard personnel maintaining
that department's vehicles rather than the PubllC Works
Department, spoke for vehicle repair at another location,
opposed construction of this facility on beachfrontage
land, and storage of supplies at this location. Mr. Jim
Gilkerson, 1011 Electric Avenue, questioned whether or
not the Lifeguard garage would be considered proper use
of land zoned for pUblic land use, objected to Lifeguard
personnel performing vehicle maintenance rather than the
Public Works Department, and stated it was his understanding
construction was commenced without either a City building
permit or Coastal Commission approval. Mr. Jim Funk, 215-
1/2 Tenth Street, stated he was in attendance at the Coastal
Commission meeting at which time twelve letters, plus his
own, were submitted opposing the Lifeguard structure,
expressed his feeling that this facility is inappropriate
for the location, that the height of the building obscures
the view from Eisenhower Park, and recommended that
Lifeguard vehicles be maintained and parked at the Public
Works Yard. Mr. Funk submitted the referenced letters
to the City Clerk for the record, requested Council
reconsider construction of this building and its location.
Mrs. Carla Watson, 1635 Catalina, spoke in support of the
Lifeguard Department however expressed her objectlon to
the proposed building, this use of beachfront land, and
obstruction of the ocean view. Mr. James Hagadorn, 408
Emerald Place, stated that construction of this facility
was an unnecessary capital expendlture, that in his view
the building violates the integrity of the beach and park
I
5-29-84
area, and recommended that the structure be removed. Mr.
Robert Cook, Central Avenue, reported that he had listened
to the tape of the discussion relating to this matter from
last meeting, that he did not wish to speak for or against
the facility, however urged the Council and staff to obtain
public input in the future prior to commencement of projects
that are of public interest. Mrs. Jeri West, 1211 Electric
Avenue, stated she was asked to read a statement from Tom
White, President, Seal Beach Residential/Homeowner I
Association, which stated members of the Association had
testified in opposition to issuance of a permit by the
Coastal Commission for this structure, that the Commission
had then continued the hearing until June 27th, and that
eight of the eleven Commission members agreed with the
City Manager's recommendation contained in a memorandum
dated May 10th that the structure be torn down and the
permit application be withdrawn. Mr. Dennis Buell addressed
the Council a second time, inquiring if authorization had
been given to reinforce the existing structure since the
last Council meeting. Councilmember Risner stated it was
her understanding that the structure required additional
reinforcement in order to reduce the height of the building
as authorized by the City Council; the City Manager
confirmed same.
It was the order of the Chair, with consent of the Council,
to declare a recess at 8:14 p.m. The meeting reconvened
at 8:24 p.m. with the Mayor calling the meeting to order.
LIFEGUARD GARAGE - STORAGE FACILITY - CONTINUED DISCUSSION
Mr. Hal Halldin, 635 Silver Shoals, referred to previous
public discussion regarding this matter, stated that the
Lifeguard Department, in the past, has utilized the area
in question to park their vehicles as well as perform some
maintenance, noting that the new building will allow the
vehicles to be housed and protected from the elements with
maintenance performed in an enclosed structure, and
expressed support for the Department for attempting to
provide more and better services to the City at a lower
cost. Mrs. West, l20l Electric Avenue, referred to the
land value in the subject area and opposed the start of
construction prior to obtaining all necessary permits.
Mayor Brownell declared the public testimony closed.
I
At the request of Council, the City Manager read in full
the report from Lifeguard Chief, Tim Dorsey, setting forth
the rationale for the proposed multi-purpose emergency
vehicle and storage facility. With reference to the
Morton/West report, the City Manager stated it was a well
thought out analysis, however it is the staff's feeling
that for the public safety function of the Lifeguard
Department, it is better to have immediate access to all
Lifeguard materials and supplies. Mr. Parker also stated
that the beach tractor is no longer proposed to be stored
at the new facility, that no additional storage area is
available at the Public Works Yard, and confirmed that
the City's Building Department had issued a permit for
construction with the assumption that the Coastal permit
had been issued. Mr. Parker noted that it was his
understanding that the Commission continued their
consideration of this matter pending resolution by the
City Council and that the Coastal staff recommendation
is not intended to be changed. Discussion continued
regarding the length of beach served, the annual beach
visitation, vehicle maintenance performed by Lifeguard
personnel, maintenance of the City's environment, the total
I
5-29-84
I
Lifeguard staff and deployment thereof, the necessity for
the present number of Lifeguard vehicles and their use,
donation to the City of the rescue boat and jet ski and
their use by the Department, reinforcement of the structure
to support a deck, and eventual asthetic tie-in of the
two Lifeguard structures in conjunction with improvements
to Eisenhower Park. A member of the Council suggested
that if this item is approved, vehicle maintenance should
be included in Lifeguard job specifications, and inquired
as to City liability for such an activity. The City
Attorney responded that maintenance of the vehicles would
not pose a liability problem unless unsafe conditions were
deemed to exist. It was clarified that the Coastal
Commission condition set forth a height of approximately
twelve feet or no higher than Eisenhower Park, and that
the structure, as presently proposed is a height of ten
feet, eight inches. Risner moved, second by Wilson, to
approve completion of construction of the Lifeguard garage
and storage facility at a lower height, not to exceed the
height of Eisenhower Park, that the structure be reinforced
to withstand decking, and that a design be studied to
architecturally integrate the two Lifeguard buildings at
some future date.

ITEM "L" - LEASE AMENDMENT - CALIFORNIA HISTORIC
PROPERTIES-80 - OLD CITY HALL REHABILITATION
The staff report regarding this item stated that the lessee
of the Old City Hall, CHP-80, has completed negotiations
for construction and permanent loans for rehabilitation
of the Old City Hall, and as a result of the negotiations,
certain changes to the master lease are deemed necessary,
Which protects the lending institution in the event
foreclosure of the loan is necessary and allows refinancing
of the loans should Industrial Development Bonds be made
available. The City Attorney responded to questions posed I
by Council. He stated that the amendment provides security
for the lender with respect to their position in securing
their interest in the improvement, however their security
for the mortgage is with the lease not the property itself,
clarifying that in the event of default the lender will
have the opportunity to cure the default or the alternative
to actually take over the lease for the remainder of the
term. Mr. Stepanicich stated there is no obligation by
the City for any mortgage payments nor is the property
at risk in the event of default by CHP-80. With regard
to insurance, the City Attorney reported that there is
a policy covering one year business interruption, that
the City is named additionally insured on the liability
coverage, and that earthquake insurance is not required
by the lease which is typical in the case of commercial
leases where the lessor owns the building, noting that
the building is covered by the City's earthquake coverage.
In response to discussion regarding additional lease payment
benefits should Industrial Development Bonds be allowed,
the City Manager pointed out that the master lease contains
a rent formula that addresses lease payments in the event
the lessee obtains loans at a lower rate of interest, and
the City Attorney explained that a new Section l5(e) has
been added that does apply to benefits that could be
forthcoming with the issuance of IDB's. The City Attorney I
explained that under Sections l4(a), (b) and (c) of the
lease, the lessee does have the obligation to repair and
restore the building in the case of damage or loss, with
the exception, as provided in Section l4(c), which provides
the option to the lessee to terminate the lease, in which
case the mortgage holder would be paid off and the building
would return to the City. After further discussion, Grgas
moved, second by Risner, to approve the Amendment to the
Old City Hall lease agreement with CHP-80 as presented.

REPORT - PIER RESTAURANT ARCHITECT
The City Manager stated that subsequent to discussions
with several architects and others knowledgable in the
design of restaurants, the staff can no longer recommend
construction of a new restaurant facility at the end of
the pier. The City Manager pointed out that new construction
at a $50 per square foot would total approximately $135,000
for the 2,700 square foot building plus architectural fees
and the cost of new fixtures, equalling just under $200,000.
Further, he stated that if the restaurant were constructed
with more design latitute, $85 per square foot would not
be unreasonable, thus a total cost of approximately $300,000.
Mr. Parker stated that based upon this evaluation, the
staff recommends that the structure be rehabilitated, and
that an architect be retained to ensure a quality facility.
Mr. Parker stated that in the absence of plans and actual
material estimates, $150,000 appears to be a reasonable
estimate of construction and architectural costs. The
City Manager reported that a proposal had been submitted
by Thirtieth Street Architects, Inc. for the project, and
reviewed their experience for such rehabilitation work.
The City Manager explained that their proposal constituted
three phases, design, construction documents, and
construction observation, and that the Council would have
the option of concluding their architectural services after
any phase. Mr. Parker pointed out that the design phase
is estimated at two to three weeks, with construction
approximately four to five weeks. Discussion followed
regarding the time frame for the restoration of the
restaurant.
I
Risner moved, second by Grgas, to support rehabilitation
rather than reconstruction of the pier cafe, that Thirtieth
Street Architects, Inc. be retained to provide professional
architectural services pursuant to their proposal at a
cost not to exceed $16,600, that the City Attorney be
directed to prepare the appropriate contract document and
that the City Manager be authorized to execute same on
behalf of the City.

BIXBY OLD RANCH BUSINESS PARK - PUBLIC HEARING DATE
Principal Planner, Mr. Baucke, reported that the revised
Environmental Impact Report for the Bixby Old Ranch Business
Park was received by the Planning Department on May 9th.
Mr. Baucke stated that staff reviewed the document, outlined
its concerns with the document and returned the EIR to
the consultant, Ultrasystems, Inc., for further amendment.
Mr. Baucke reviewed a projected time frame for review of
the document and setting the public hearing date. A member
of the Council requested that upon receipt and review of
the amended EIR, it be provided to the E.Q.C.B. and the
Planning Commission for review and comment. It was verified
that the finalized document will be provided to the Council

REPORT - SEAL BEACH PIER RECONSTRUCTION - PHASE III I
The Director of Public Works reported that the City Manager
had forwarded a letter to Magnus Company, Phase III pier
contractor, on May 24th, notifying them that they are in
default of their obligations under their contract with
the City and that termination of their contract would be
considered by the Council this date. Mr. Johnson stated
that the conditions constituting a breach of contract were
set forth in the City Manager's communication. Discussion
continued. In response to Council, staff reported that
a $94,000 progress payment had been made to Magnus for
work completed and materials supplied, that a second
progress payment of $56,000 has been withheld, and should
the contract be terminated, negotiations will continue
with the surety company to insure completion of the project.
The City Attorney confirmed that it is the obligation of
the bonding company to complete the project even though
the cost may exceed the original contract. Councilmember
Risner moved that the contract with Magnus Company be
terminated due to Magnus Company's failure to satisfactorily
perform the work required by the contract and due to various
conditions that constitute a breach of the contract with
the City, and that the City Manager be directed to take
any appropriate action, subject to the approval of the
City Attorney as to the legal position of each action taken, I
to secure the completion of Project Number 537-C.

Mayor Brownell declared oral communications open. Barbara
Rountree, 13300 Twin Hills Drive, referred to the
refurbishing of Corky's Restaurant on Ocean Avenue, and
requested that the Council establish an Architectural Review

discussion. Councilman Grgas referred to the Navy housing
development and the impact on the City's pumping station
on Seal Beach Boulevard from increased rain runoff, and
requested the staff look into this concern and investigate
the possible need for an additional pump at the station.
Mr. Todd Perrin, member of the Volunteer Firefighters,
reported the results of competition involving the restored
