Council members...
I looked at the proposed "90-Day Plan" to deal with the homelessness problems distressing our City. [Council's March 21s' meeting Agenda Item #28]
I'm not impressed.
As I read it, the Plan involves basically (i) hire a consultant, (i) review and reclassify data; and look for root causes, (iii) review some existing contracts, (iv) more community education, (v) fund more overtime, and (vi) re-draw the lines on the organizational chart.
I'm looking for a specific plan that will result in enforcing our anti-camping, anti-defecating-on-our-sidewalks, etc., ordinances now that we have spent some $20 million in satisfying the mandates of Martin v. Boise, with respect to those who chose to remain 'unhoused' and who refuse available housing and other help. The Navigation Center has excess capacity.
That's what I'm looking for...

Subject: Agenda Items - Meeting 3/21/23
To all HB City Council Members,
As a 34 year resident, I submit my opinion on the following Agenda Items:
aprove one housing dement a ie done tore i on enter rate the hop ten i are or. can move forward as a modern forward-thinking city focused on solutions and not political theatre.
Item 25 - Adopt Resolution No. 2023-14 approving General Plan Amendment No. 2021-003 (Housing Element Update), adopt Resolution No. 2023-16 approving General Plan Amendment No. 2022-001 (General Plan Land Use Element Affordable Housing Overlay), approve for introduction Ordinance No. 4289 approving Zoning Map Amendment No. 2022-002 (Zoning Map Affordable Housing Overlay), approve for introduction Ordinance No. 4291 approving Zoning Text Amendment No. 2022-008 (HBZSO Chapter 229 Affordable Housing Overlay), adopt Resolution No. 2023-13 approving Zoning Text Amendment No. 2022-009 (Beach and Edinger Corridor Specific Plan Affordable Housing Overlay), approve for introduction Ordinance No. 4290 approving Zoning Text Amendment No. 2022-007 (Holly Seacliff Specific Plan Affordable Housing Overlay), adopt Resolution No. 2023-15 approving Subsequent Environmental Impact Report No. 2022-002 with findings of fact and statement of overriding considerations (Housing Element Update and Associated Program Implementation Actions), and direct the City Manager to accept applications for permits related to accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and SB 9 development projects. Approve/ Adopt all of the above in Item 25 so that we can have more affordable housing in our city. This will help more people afford to live here including our own adult kids, our elderly relatives, workers who serve our community, public servants who serve our community, and young families that we need to benefit our local culture and feed our schools with students.
Item 28 - Proposed 90-Day Plan to Address Homelessness in Huntington Beach. Please file the report and approve the plan. This seems like a no-brainer as you have now learned how well the current process is working. Perhaps you should have educated yourselves on how well the Navigation Center is serving people experiencing homelessness in conjunction with Be Well OC. Four of you claimed you had some "grand solution" when in fact, you are approving the plan that was already in We will be monitoring your compliance and holding you accountable for results and to your campaign promises.
Sincerely,
Buffie Channel
