Analysis:
The City of Huntington Beach first entered into a license agreement with Southern California Edison (SCE) in 1985, for the use of 2.02 acres of SCE property at the eastern most end of Indianapolis Avenue, along the Santa Ana River. The license agreement has been renewed for successive five-year terms since that time.
The current license agreement will expire on September 30, 2024. The proposed license agreement would commence October 1, 2024, and expire September 30, 2029. The City has historically utilized the SCE property in conjunction with the adjacent City-owned property for use as LeBard Park. In exchange for the use of the property, the City would pay an annual license fee with annual CPI adjustments of 5% over a five-year period as shown below.
