Here are some items the City Council will discuss at Tuesday’s

meeting.

RV ORDINANCE

After months of anticipation, Police Chief Ken Small is submitting

an RV ordinance to the City Council.

To counter complaints from residents about RV parking on city

streets, Small is asking the council to restrict the length of time

RVs can be left on the public right-of-way.

Under the new ordinance, RV owners are allowed eight 24-hour

periods a month to park in front, or close to their residence.

About a quarter of the RVs parked in Huntington Beach are from out

of the city, Small said, while another 25% are parked a notable

distance from the owner’s home. Small said he hopes the ordinance

with make RV owners more accountable about where they park.

WHAT TO EXPECT

It’s hard to say how the council will go on this law, which has

been in the works for some time. Expect a high turnout on this issue,

both from homeowners who are tired of looking at RVs parked in front

of their homes, and RV owners who oppose restrictions.

YOUTH SHELTER

The council will formally end its contract with charity group

Volunteers of America to run the Huntington Beach Youth Shelter. The

move comes after Community Services Director Jim Engle learned that

the group was no longer accepting teens into the shelter.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The item is on the consent agenda and is likely to pass. After the

group’s contract is ended, Engle will begin to look for a new

nonprofit to operate the shelter.

WATER PIPELINE

After settling a lawsuit with the Southern California Water Co.,

the city must now formally grant the agency a franchise agreement to

build a water pipeline along the length of the southbound lane of

Bolsa Chica Ave.

The new pipeline will serve a proposed residential development on

the upper mesa of the Bolsa Chica.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The franchise agreement is part of the city’s settlement with the

water company and will likely be approved by the council.
