Subject:
title
Approve Amendment No. 2 between the State of California, acting through the Department of Parks and Recreation, and the City of Huntington Beach for the Operating Agreement OA-40 for Bolsa Chica State Beach
body
Statement of Issue:
The City of Huntington Beach (City) and the State of California, Department of Parks and Recreation (State Parks), currently operate under Operating Agreement OA 40 for the care, maintenance, and control of Bolsa Chica State Beach. The agreement is set to expire on December 1, 2026. To ensure uninterrupted operations and to allow both parties adequate time to negotiate a new long term operating agreement, State Parks has prepared Amendment No. 2, which extends the agreement term for two additional years, and incorporates newly required Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) language. The City must approve and execute Amendment No. 2 to maintain continuity of operations and comply with updated State Parks administrative requirements. Upon approval of a new long-term agreement, Amendment No. 2 would expire.
Financial Impact:
There is no additional fiscal impact associated with approval of Amendment No. 2. The City will continue its obligation to cover costs of developing, maintaining, controlling, and operating Bolsa Chica State Beach consistent with the terms of the Operating Agreement.
Recommended Action:
