• Attorneys claim water district's secret hiring of
:consultant and refusal to divulge the cost violate. state
·law. Mesa attorney says district did nothing wrong.
. By Susan Deemer, Dai/if Pilot
COSI'A MESA -Mesa Con·
•solidated Water District violated
·mte laws when it secretly hired a
public relations .firm in July and
then refu.led Daily Pilot requests
this week to reveal de tails of that
tr~ction, according to two
expert attorneys on open-govern-
ment laws.
Mesa .Consolidated's attorney,
however, maintains the district
did nothing wrong.
Mesa has waged a controver-
sial and costly -$224,855
through J uly -leqal battle to
undo the friendly takeover of the
tiny Santa Ana Heights Water Co.
by the Irvine Ranch Water Dis-
trict.
The district's Board of Directors
hired Adler Public Affairs behind
closed doors in mid-July •to begin
spinning the story to our advan-
tage," according to a memo writ-
ten by the public relations agency
and leaked to the Pilot.
"I can't think of any circum-
stances where they can go into a
closed session to hire a public
relations firm," said Tom Newton,
general counsel for the California
Newspaper Publishers Associa-
tion. "The contract they entered
into . . . happened illegally in
closed session.•
The proposal to hire the public
relations firm was not announced
on the water district's agenda nor
Karl Kemp:
Won't release
PR flnn's price
revealed in the
minutes of the
meeting.
"The fact is,
it wasn't on the
agenda," said
Terry Francke,
e xecuti v e
director of the
California First
Amendment
Coalition, and
the attorney
who authored
much of the
revised Ralph M. Brown Act, the
state open-governme nt laws.
•They should not have been
doing it in closed session and any
records related to that would be
public.•
But water district attorney Art
Kidman said Mesa's hiring of a
public relations firm was part of
the leqal strateqy against Irvine
Ranch and therefore fell under
the Brown Act's Mpending litiga-
tion• exemption.
·1n general, matters that are
(dealt with) in closed session and
are subject to· litigation are not
subject of disclosure under the
Public Records Act,• Kidman
said.

As part of his legal advice, Kid-
man said he urged Mesa to hire a
public relations firm in order to
get factual stories into the press.
•All this intormation can
remain confidential until a final
resolution of the litigation,• Kid-
man said.
Jett Adler, president of Adle r

NEWPORT BEACH -Rolando
Vivar couldn't wait to hoist his sail,
grab a hold of the tiller and start
steering his tiny sailboat out into
Newport Harbor.
Rolando, 13, of Costa Mesa, was
one of about 35 young people Mon-

Orange Coast Colleqe sailing pro-

The smile never left his face, even
when he had to duck the sail as it
blew back and forth over the top of
the boat.
That wasn't the case however for
12-year-old Robert. This was his first
time sailing. So when the boat start-
ed tipping to one side Robert tucked
his head inside his life jacket.
•1t won't tip over,• Rolando

Robert squashed himself into a

Rolando and his friend , Jose Flores,
insisted he should relax.

~ecovery center gets long-awaited city OK
'! Planning Commission rejects staff recommendation to
deny conditional use permit for the state-licensed facility. ..
ft lim Grenda, Daily Pilot
COSTA MESA -The Planning
Commission on Monday night
effectively declared a truce in the
two-year war between City Hall
and the Nancy Clark Recovery
Center by granting the controver-
sial drug and alcohol rehabilitation
facility a conditional use permit
The unanimous commission
vote -which went against the rec-
ommendation of city staff -means
the center, a state-licensed drug
and alcohol recovery facility, now
has the city's blessing to stay in a
converted 19-unit apartment com-
p)ex on Victoria Street.
A denial of the permit request
would not have forced the Recov-
~ Cen~r to close because a state
license issued to its founder Nancy
Clark supercedes the city's author-
ity to shut it down.
. "It appears that this type of facil-
ity is going to operate there, with or
\ • l • I
without a [permit),• said commis-
sion Chairman Walt Davenport.
•There's really nothing we can do
about it."
But what the permit approval
will do is give the city a chance to
regulate the center it previously
had little control over, officials said.
Conditions placed on the permit
-including limits on the number
of people who can stay at the cen-
ter and requiring tenants to regis-
ter their license plate numbers with
city officials -must now be met.
Unless the City Council pulls
the issue up for one last review,
Monday's unanimous Planning
Commission decision will stand.
The center had been operating
without city approval for more than
two years, ever since city officials
twice turned down Clark's
requests for pemuts.
This week -citing the same
density and parking concerns they
had two years ago -city staff
members said nothing has
changed and recommended deny-
ing the permit for a third time. But
because Clark is not violating any
laws by essentially renting apart-
ments to recovering addicts who
agree to live a sober, drug-free
lifestyle, officials said their hands
are tied.
"!Granting a permit) is the only
way the city has an ability to have
any control over these facilities,"
said Commissioner Chuck Robin-
son.
Qark said the whole controver-
sy over her center boiled to down
Hsome really mean-spirited neigh-
bors who just didn't want us in
their neighborhood."
"There's a tendency to be afraid
of things you don't understand,"
Clark said. "I've told the neigh-
bors, 'Come by, meet the mon-
sters.'"
Oark said meeting the condi-
tions placed on the permit will not
be a problem.
•Anything they asked for, I was
willing to do," she said. HThat's
been my position all along. The
bottom line is, we're not going to
go away."
Hot and sweaty? You don ,t
.know how good you have it
Someone (Was it Will Rogers?) once said, •Everybody talks
about the weather, but no
one ever does anything about it.•
As I write this sitting in a pool of
sweat, the weather is all I seem to
be able to think about. So I will
add to that lore.
Southern Californians are
spoiled rotten when it comes to
weather. The slightest deviation
from our idyllic norm sends us into
paroxysms of anguish.
A spate of rain produces chaos
on the freeways. Any excess of
either heat or cold turns us into
chronlc grumblers. I say "us,"
advisedly, because -in the area
of weather at least -I have
become a fragile and cranky
Southern Calif omian.
It wasn't ever thus. I spent 25
years driving on snow and ice in
northern Indiana and Chicago,
learning to use a clutch as a brake
and to tum into spins instead of
out of them. The first time I ever
dealt with tire chains was on a trip
to Lake Arrowhead after I moved
to California. There was a fine film
of snow on the roads -a piece of
ca.lee to any midwesterner -and I
was forced to put on chains before
I could continue. I put them on
wrong and beat hell out of one of
my fenders.
I drove across the United States
a half-dozen times before I ever
owned an air-conditioned car,
tooling across Kansas shirtless
with all the windows down and
the hot air swirling demonically
about the interior of the car.
I learned to fly at a Navy pri-
mary base during one of the cold-
est winters in Chicago history. We
had to be on the flight line at 5
a.m. to turn over the propellers of
planes that had been sitting all
night in sub-zero temperatures.
Then we flew them in open cock-
pits wearing fleece-lined gear so
bulky that we could barely
squeeze into the cockpit.
When I worked in downtown
Chicago, I had to make my way
about a half-mile from the railroad
station, and I learned a route that
took me through the subterranean
passages of a dozen high-rise
buildings so I could stay out of the
wind off Lake Michigan. And
joseph n.
bell
avoid the humidity of July and
August.
During our last winter in Chica-
go, we had a vicious snowstorm
two weeks before Thanksgiving.
Our garage sat at the end of a
150-foot driveway, and I asked my
son -then in high school -to
shovel a path out for our car. He
was not happy about this and
shoveled a zigzag furrow in the
driveway that I had to twist and
tum to follow. Five months later, 1
was still following that same twist-
ing route. The snow had never
been off the ground. That's when
we decided to move to California.
We spent summers at a lake in
northern Indiana where the
humidity often pushed 100% and
air conditioning was only for the
very rich. Our air conditioning
was the la.lee, and I can remember
many times going for a swim in
the middle of the night to try and
cool down sufficiently to get a few
hours of sleep.
For many years, I read the
weather report before I read the
sports section in the morning
newspaper, a bit of heresy permis-
sible only because of our constant
hassle with a miserable climate.
Only when 1 moved to California
was I able to gel such priorities
straightened out -for a while.
Yet, here I am, reading the
damned weather reports again
before the baseball scores and
whining about the heat. I'm told
this heat wave is going to break in
the next few days, and I want to
believe it. Meanwhile, I will suffer,
along with the rest of the soft.
spoiled Southern Californians l
have now joined.
Remembering all those years d
excessive weather in the Midwest
no longer helps. My expectations
have been raised aft.er living for
35 yea.rs in Newport Beach, which
brings to mind the lyrics from the
title song of "Camelot:•
•A Jaw was made a diatant
moon ago here,
July and August cannot be too
hot.
And there's a legal limit to the
snow here
In Camelot.
•The rain may never tan 'W
after sundown.
By eight the morning log mu.st
di.sap pear;
Jn short, there's simply not,
A more congenial spot ...
Than here in Camelot•
Hopefully by the time you read
this, the current heat wave will be
over and we can tum our atten-
tion to important matters such as
the pennant nm of the Angels and
whether we will outlive the Mesa
Consolidated Water Distrid's law-
suits. But before we oond:ude this
weather report, I must confess that

NEWPORT-MESA nu.tees unanimously
approved Tuesday an alloca-
tion of $14,000 of Costa Mesa
farm money to install a score-
board at Costa Mesa High
School.
The school, which holds
track, soccer and junior varsity
tournaments, is the only com-
prehensive high school with-
out a permanent scoreboard in
the district. .
School boosters have
already raised $4,000 toward
the project and plan to raise
more to reimburse the $7 .3
million farm sale fund.
n-ustees also approved a
month-to-month $7,183 lease
to the non-profit group Women
Helping Women for use of the
Harper Community Center,
which will move the group
from Rea School that has been
reopened as fifth-and si.Xth-
grade school.
In the same vote, trustees
approved Harper leases to

annual revenue at the site to

Several neighbors of the
Harper site told trustees they
were not satisfied with district
planning, arguing that leasing
the facility to Coast Communi-
ty College Distnct would over·
load the parking lot.

said a smiling l leredid, barely more than
one week shy of his 26th birthday, as well
as the close of tus hrst summer camp as the
Newport Beach facility's branch director.
"I owe you a piece of candy, don't I?"
Heredia asked a wide-eyed camper who
had poked hls head beside the door knob

Heredia, pallently indulging nostalgic
quenes about the heroic basketball feats for
which he earned headlines as a prep, then
as a collegian at Orange Coast College
and Concordia Uruversity, was frequently
interrupted by children who know nothing
of his much-documented athletic prowess.
But for one who recalls his commanding
cross.over dribble, deft shooting touch,
acumen at penetrating to score or dish, and
the uncanny ability to compete coolly in the
most pressurized playoff atmosphere,
watching swarms of kids surround him in
the Eastbluff gymnasium after a
just-completed game of dodge ball seemed
sweetly nostalgic.

HeredJa, known in those days by the

teammates, fellow students, as well as
members of the media, after nearly
single-handedly insuring the Eagles' 51-49
triumph over 3-AA final foe Servite.
•I hated all that attention,• recalled
Heredia, who, despite having missed a

The Cougars did not field a volleyball team and Coast's is one of the~
strongest community college programs in the state.
Mercer, a Roseville native Crom Oakmont High, joins two other tight
ends on the Pirate squad. Mike Knox led OCC with 20 receptions last
year. Joe Khamis had 16.
"Mercer landed in a crowded spot here, but he is one great athlete,•
Workman said. "I wonder how 5-10 comerbacks are going to feel loo~
ing across the line of scrimmage at someone like Mercer, who is not
only big, but has 4.6 speed, as well.• '·
Workman added that the tight end position is the deepest and most··
talented position on the team. •
• The Orange Coast College athletic department will condud,
physical exams from 8:30 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Mason Field House oi;I.~
campus for prospective football players, Coach Bill Workman reported. v
