The Huntington Beach Police Chief Ken Small's Administrative Assistant Karin Reed asked me to Inform you of this Item:
The Huntington Beach Police Department recently made an arrest of serial residential burglary suspects who committed numerous burglaries in Huntington Beach and throughout Orange County between May and November, 2012. During our investigation, we recovered numerous pieces of property including rings, watches, necklaces, bracelets, iPhones, iPods, cameras and GPS units. We will attempt to return the property to the rightful owners by the end of the year. For more information, please contact Sergeant Abrahams in Investigations.

The Huntington Beach Public Works Department Construction Manager Eric Charlonne would like to remind you of this:

Edinger Avenue Bicycle Path
In 2010, the City completed landscape improvements to the north side of Edinger Avenue. The project was funded through a Federal grant, private funding from the Sea Isle Garden Club and City funds. Through community input during the design phase, a need for on-street parking was identified for events such as the annual boat parade. This would necessitate removal of the existing striped bike lane along the south side of the street. At the time, a bicycle path, extending from Countess Drive to Saybrook Lane, was incorporated into the design. However, due to funding constraints, the path was graded in dirt, but left unpaved. On November 19, 2012, the City Council approved a cooperative agreement with the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) to receive Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant funding for the paving of the Edinger Avenue Bicycle Path. The FTA grant will provide up to $192,330 or 75% of the estimated construction cost of $256,440.
