New Business:
Thomas Dawes, Sanitation Engineer from the Sunset Beach Sanitary District provided an overview of the history of the sanitation system in Sunset Beach. The sanitation program was formed in 1930 and they began building the system in 1934. Sunset Beach residents pay Orange Co. Sanitation to process our waste water. Pump Station was installed in 1935 located at Broadway and North Pacific. This system requires continuous maintenance, as it is 90 years old. We had options to update this system. Either replace the pump station and place it above ground as apposed to underground where it’s currently located. Or insert a gravity line. The gravity line was chosen, as it was less expensive and reliable. The cost is approximately $8.5 million. Contractors will be chosen in May and construction will begin at PCH and Warner in September, 2024. Construction is scheduled to conclude by Memorial Day 2025. 10 trees will be removed during construction and replaced with 20 pine trees.

Chris Montana S.B.C.A. Accountant discussed the rate increase with sanitation, which is not due to the new sewer project. We haven’t had a price increase since 2016. Sunset Beach rates are less than Huntington Beach rates.

LT. Roman Altenbach, Huntington Beach Police Officer addressed naming the allies, as more than one dwelling at the same address can be problematic. He had no information, as this isn’t a police matter. Community Development may be more helpful. Painting the old, rusted sign poles are being looked into. Nadeen asked about the incident at Pauly’s in February, there were miner injuries and suspect identified. There isn’t a call volume at Pauly’s to indicate there’s a problem with that location. Discussed the school bus stops at 19th St and 5th St., cars and bikes not stopping for the children.

Quarterly Beach Clean Up headed up by Brandi and Dawn. They had a meeting and have tentative dates, the first clean up being in April.

Community Center Repairs, Rolf bid refinishing the floors and painting interior. The color for the floor was chosen by a show of hands. Rolf’s bid was approved and work was scheduled to begin March 8th.
