HUNTINGTON BEACH
The City Council voted 4 to 3 Monday to reject plans from the Infrastructure Advisory Committee to place amendments to the city’s charter on the fall ballot, citing a need to educate the public on infrastructure issues first.
The vote struck down a ballot proposition, which would have created an infrastructure fund and oversight committee if approved by the voters. Council members Shirley Dettloff, Peter Green and Tom Harman voted in favor of the ballot measure.
In the special meeting at Huntington Beach Central Library, the council accepted the final report of the 35-member advisory committee. The report outlines a $1.3-billion plan for the next 20 years to repair or replace everything from streets and sewers to sidewalks and storm drains.
