City Council Meetings now being Webcast live

The City of Huntington Beach City Council meetings are now webcast live through the City of Huntington Beach's website. This exciting new feature will only allows viewers to watch the live City Council meetings and other Channel 3 broadcasting on their computers, but also makes it possible to view archived meetings.

The City Clerk's Office made the initial contact with the company, Granicus, which specializes in the live-streaming of media content for local governments. With support from the Public Information Office and Information Services, the City Clerk's Office funded this project from their budget so that the City would be able to offer this service to the public.

Now, for the first time, residents who do not subscribe to cable will be able to watch City Council meetings live from their homes via the City's website. The public will also be able to view the meetings live on the Internet if they are traveling or away from home.

If you miss the live webcast, you will be able to view the archived meeting after it is uploaded the next day. Please keep in mind that it will take some time to upload the meeting to be archived. Shorter meetings may be available the morning after the meeting, while longer meetings may not be available until the afternoon or evening.

Granicus allows viewers of archived meetings to "jump to" a specific agendized item of interest. This feature allows viewers to choose the archived meeting they wish to view, choose the agenda item or section of the meeting that they wish to view from a drop-down menu that is below the screen, and then watch the meeting starting from that point. Users will also be able to view the Council Agenda, and through a hyperlink, will be able to connect to the archived video at that point of the meeting.

The first meeting to be webcast live was the City Council meeting on January 17. The archived meetings (beginning December 19, 2005) are also available on the City's website.

Watch the next City Council meeting live by visiting www.surfcity-hb.org and looking under "Announcements" for the link, or by clicking on the buttons for Government, then Agendas & Minutes, then Council Live and Archive Meeting Videos.

City supports Marine Battalion

In April 2005, the City of Huntington Beach adopted the 3rd Battalion/1st Marines - or, "Thundering Third" - stationed at Camp Pendleton. Previous to our adoption, this battalion had staged the successful battle for Fallujah and had sustained the largest number of casualties and wounded in action of any battalion in Iraq.

The "City of Huntington 3/1 Committee" was formed immediately with councilpersons Dave Sullivan, Gil Coerper and Cathy Green volunteering to serve and representatives from the Police and Fire Departments and Municipal Employees Association (MEA), along with members from the community, making up the remainder of the 15 member group.

The committee hit the ground running by helping to stage the "Dining Out," event held at the Hyatt Grand Coast in May. This formal ball welcomes the troops returning home and was a spectacular event thanks to the many sponsors and donors, as well as the staff and management of the beautiful Hyatt.

In July, the committee held a picnic at Central Park for over 200 Marines and their families - including those from the 3/1 who marched in our parade. The Public Works department provided all the tables and chairs as well as the barbecue to grill steaks, hot dogs and chicken. Public Works employees also showed up early to set up all the tables and came back - on their own time - to retrieve everything. It was an enormous show of support and just another example of our employees going that extra mile to make good things happen!

Members of the 3/1 were deployed back to Iraq on Labor Day. Mayor Dave Sullivan and Mayor Pro Tem Gil Coerper were on hand to see the guys off and spend a very emotional day with their families.

The 3/1 Committee then kicked into high gear preparing for the upcoming holidays as well as continuing the mission to provide aid to the families of our Marines in times of need.

To date, the 3/1 Committee has supplied 2 sets of washers and dryers to mothers who could not afford to replace their broken machines. We have purchased gas cards for a Marine whose 4 year old daughter was diagnosed with leukemia and needed frequent trips to San Diego for chemotherapy and other treatment. We have purchased a new set of tires for a family, and donated to a successful Halloween party for the children of our Marines.

In November, items were collected with the help of First Christian Church of Huntington Beach, and nearly 300 care packages were sent to Iraq. Donations from the HB Rotary Club, Surf City Kiwanis and various individuals helped cover the entire cost of mailing these items, which included 1100 pocket flags folded and packaged by the ladies of the American Legion Post.

Holiday cards were collected and sent in December and the 3/1 Committee assisted with the annual holiday party at Camp Pendleton by providing the entire meal, caroling books, decorations and 150 gifts for the wives. Even Santa wore a suit borrowed from the city!

Perhaps the highlight of the event was the appearance of five Marines, dressed in elf costumes, singing and dancing their way through an hilarious comedy routine. The costumes and act were also provided by a member of the 3/1 Committee.

The MEA came through in December with even more care packages. Members brought items to their annual holiday luncheon and, with characteristic generosity, managed to amass about 150 boxes of items. They then went to their own pockets to pay for the mailing of these packages and even delivered them to Camp Pendleton.

The 3/1 Committee will stage one last care package drive before the last mailing date in February, and will continue to respond to requests for aid.

On May 22, the committee will host a golf tournament at Camp Pendleton and will be soliciting sponsors and golfers soon. The troops of the 3/1 will be home by then and sponsors will have the opportunity to include one or more of our returning heroes on their foursomes. The spectacular Dining Out event is scheduled for June 3rd at the Hyatt and will be a highly coveted - and limited - invitation.

In July, we will once again host a picnic and we have been put on notice that the word of mouth from last year's event was so great that we should expect a very large percentage of the Thundering Third and their families this year.

If you would like more information on the activities of the 3/1 Committee, or would like to make a contribution, please contact Cindy at 714/375-3131 or via e-mail at HB4Marines@aol.com.

Pipeline dislodges from dredging equipment

In late December 2005, a powerful storm near Hawaii generated nearly 20-foot waves along the shores of Huntington Beach. The heavy surf caused a section of a large dredging pipe from the Bolsa Chica Wetland restoration project to break away and drift towards the Huntington Beach Pier. The section of pipe came from Ross Island Sand and Gravel Company, the company conducting the dredging for the Bolsa Chica project. Their dredging pipeline broke free from its anchor on the morning of Wednesday, December 21, 2005, and a large piece began drifting down the coast.

The large section of the dredging pipe drifted into the Pier below Tower Zero either Wednesday night or early Thursday morning, and crashed against the pilings in the heavy surf.

Recovery operations began early Friday morning. Ross Island hired Warren Diving to assist with the salvage. The divers worked with a team made up of members from Huntington Beach Public Works, Marine Safety and Beach Maintenance, who all contributed to the recovery efforts.

A towline was successfully attached to the floating section of the pipeline, approximately 150 feet of pipeline was pulled out of the water with a tractor. The pipeline was pulled to Goldenwest Street where it was staged on the beach for subsequent transportation to the dredging location at Bolsa Chica, which would have to take place during low tide.

A total of 310 feet of pipeline has been recovered since the storm, however there is still approximately 1000 feet of pipeline yet to be retrieved. One large exposed section, about 150 feet, has settled parallel to the North side of the Pier, with one side buried into the sand. Another 40-foot section on the South side of the Pier, runs parallel to the beach, and is thought to run through the Pier. Attempting to bring in the rest of the pipeline has proved to be a formidable task for the dredging contractors. Attempts to bring in the large section of pipeline on the North Side of the Pier resulted in the separation of two one-inch steel cables. Due to tide and surf conditions the piece has yet to be retrieved.

Marine Safety Officials are on a 24-hour pipeline watch, keeping track of any changes in the situation and warning surfers of any danger. There does not seem to be any damage to the Pier, but they are keeping a close eye on the situation.

Save-A-Life Saturday CERT Classes

For more than 14 years, the Community Emergency Response Team Program has provided information and training on disaster preparedness.

In case of an emergency in Huntington Beach, CERT will assist by providing leadership and coordination during an emergency, and assistance to help victims recover from an emergency.

As part of this program, the Fire Department offers monthly CERT classes to help citizens become involved in preparing for disaster. The first class will be held in February and the topic is Disaster and Terrorism Preparedness. This class will present an overview of the various threats to Huntington Beach- fire, flood, earthquake, riot, tsunami, terrorism, etc. - and the City's plan for response.

HB Fire Captain Gary Finney will speak about his experience during Hurricane Katrina and the valuable lessons he learned. You will also learn how to keep your family safe in a terrorism incident. The class will be held on Saturday, February 18 in the City Council Chambers at 2000 Main Street from 7:45 am to noon.

Use portable heating devices and fireplaces with caution this winter

Rising energy costs may push consumers to a more frequent use of portable heating devices and fireplaces this winter. The concern is that space heaters pose a higher risk of fire and death than central heating. The leading cause of space heater fires was combustibles (furniture, draperies, bedding) too close to the heaters. Fireplaces and chimneys were also a major cause of heating fires and fire deaths.
Helpful hints when using portable space heaters:

• When buying heaters, make sure a recognized testing laboratory has tested or listed the device and choose devices with automatic shutoff features.
• Portable space heaters should be turned off every time you leave a room or go to bed.
• Keep space heaters at least three feet away from anything that can burn.
• Never use liquefied-petroleum (LPG) gas heaters with self-contained fuel supplies in the home.
  Fireplace helpful hints:
• Keep fireplace flue free from excessive creosote build-up.
• Allow ashes to cool before disposing. Dispose of ashes in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid.
• Use a screen to protect from flying burning embers.
• Never leave a fire in a fireplace unattended.

  HB Family gets new home from Habitat for Humanity

  Habitat for Humanity volunteers raised the walls for a new home in Huntington Beach on Saturday, January 23. The beginning of construction on the home, located at 2502 Delaware Street (near Yorktown), marks the third "Women Build" home in Orange County. This is the first "Women Build" home in Huntington Beach.

  Early Saturday morning, volunteers, families, and representatives of major donors to the Huntington Beach development came to the blessing of the site. Mayor Pro Tem Gil Coerper attended the site blessing and earned a "Women Build" pink hard hat when he promised to come back and assist with the construction.

  "Women Build" provides an environment in which women can feel comfortable learning skills they might not otherwise have the opportunity to learn. Women make up 50% of Habitat's volunteer work force; yet, often because of lack of training, they account for less than 15% of the work on the construction site.

  The two-bedroom house being built on Delaware Street is for the Alvarado family, a Habitat program family. Habitat uses non-government donations of funding, materials, professional services, and volunteer labor to build simple, decent homes which are sold to qualified very low-income families for a 1% down payment and a no-interest mortgage. Mortgage payments are recycled to build more Habitat homes.

  The Alvarado family will have "sweat equity," meaning they have to contribute 500 hours of labor to the program by building their own home, helping another Habitat family build their home, or working in the Habitat ReStore.

  For more information about Habitat for Humanity of Orange County, please call (714) 434-6200 or visit www.habitatoc.org. Photos show the Alvarado family (above) and Women Build Site Supervisor Loretta Drummond (below).

  Residents take advantage of E-Waste recycling event

  An E-Waste Recycling event held in January, sponsored by the City of Huntington Beach and SoCal Recyclers Inc., brought in 112,000 pounds of E-waste. This event offered local residents and businesses an opportunity to safely dispose of unwanted computers and electronics, also known as E-Waste.

  It was a busy two days at the Huntington Beach Sports Complex, where this event took place. More than a dozen people were on hand to unload the vehicles, take inventory, and to move them quickly through the lines. A total of 914 vehicles brought in their E-waste, with computers (23%) and monitors (36%) making up the majority of the electronics brought in for recycling. Other items collected include televisions (15%), printers (11%) and stereos and VCR's (5%).

  E-Waste contains heavy metals such as lead, mercury, chromium, cadmium, and zinc that when disposed of improperly, may contaminate our soil and ground water. E-Waste is responsible for 70 percent of all heavy metals found in landfills today. For the security and piece of mind of its customers, SoCal Computer Recyclers guarantees privacy by declassifying hard drives, removing asset tags and even indemnifying clients from any liability associated with the recovery of their electronics.

  SoCal Recyclers initially estimated 100 pounds per resident of E-waste to be brought in, although fortunately that expectation was too low. The average weight per car was 125 pounds, which was 25 percent higher than the original estimate.

  E-Waste is reused in many ways. SoCal Recycling guarantees that a minimum of 10 percent of all usable material is refurbished and donated to local schools, libraries and other community services. As part of its ongoing commitment to promote computer literacy, SoCal Computer Recyclers donates computers to under-funded public schools and teen centers in Los Angeles and Orange County.

  If you missed out on the recycling event and still have E-waste that you need to safely dispose of, please call SoCal Recyclers at (310) 626-8180 or visit www.socalrecyclers.com. SoCal Computer Recyclers Inc. is located at 1430 240th St. in Harbor City.

  Armando Brizuela given Mayor's Award for January

  On December 13, 1971, Armando Brizuela came to the City of Huntington Beach from the City of Santa Ana, where he had worked in water engineering. In his 34 years with the City, he was promoted four times and has worked in all aspects of Public Works Engineering.

  Armando is a dedicated, hard worker who can be depended upon to get the job done. He is known to work late and to come in to work on his days off to make sure that the customers, whether it is a large commercial or industrial development or the "mom and pop - building their dream home", are able to obtain their necessary permits and are approved to begin their construction as soon as possible.

  Armando Brizuela was honored with the Mayor's Award at the January 17th Council Meeting. He is shown in the photo with Mayor Dave Sullivan, Armando's family and co-workers.

  

  Location for Paintball Tournament has been changed

  The National Paintball League's competition is once again coming to Huntington Beach. This year, however, the action will be moving from the beach near the Pier down to the parking lot and beach area in front of the Hilton and Pacific City. The NPPL Super 7 World Series will be taking place March 23-26 from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. (6 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday the 24th). At this three-day paintball competition, trade show and festival, teams from around the world compete for trophies, prizes and series points toward an overall championship.

  Paintball is currently the third most popular extreme sport in the world, with 12 million followers. The floor for the competition will be made of Astroturf, and high netting will surround the playing area so that no paintballs will escape. The participants play a more challenging version of a combination of "tag" and "hide and seek." A number of celebrity guests are expected to participate in Sunday's activities.

  During the Paintball Tournament, the Beach Parking lot on PCH across from Pacific City and the Hilton will be closed, so there will be no overnight RV Parking from March 20 to 28th. Admission for the event will be between $5-$10. For more information, please visit www.surfcityevents.com or http://www.nppl.tv.
