Analysis:
The City of Huntington Beach first entered into a license agreement with Southern California Edison (SCE) in 1969 for the use of 8.06 acres of SCE property at the northwest corner of Hamilton Avenue and Magnolia Street. The City has historically utilized the SCE property in conjunction with the adjacent City-owned property for use as Edison Community Park.
The license agreement has been renewed for successive five-year terms since the origination of the agreement. The current license agreement will expire on October 31, 2023. The proposed license agreement would commence November 1, 2023 and expire October 31, 2028. In exchange for the use of the property, the City would pay an annual license fee of $2,172.77 for year one of the agreement, with annual CPI adjustments of five percent over a five-year period.
