Huntington Beach is appealing last month's state appellate court ruling that it owes Irvine-based nonprofit the Kennedy Commission, which works to increase affordable housing, about $3.5 million in attorney fees. The matter will now be decided by the California Supreme Court. Huntington Beach City Atty. Michael Gates announced Tuesday night that the City Council had unanimously voted in closed session to appeal last month's three-judge panel ruling, related to a lawsuit the Kennedy Commission first filed in 2015.
