Debbie Stevens, Larry Tucker and Paul Watkins to fill the seats on the General Plan
Update Steering Committee.

Pursuant to Resolution No. 2019-7 (Attachment A), the City Council established the
Steering Committee and determined the Steering Committee would be appointed by the
Mayor, but confirmed by the City Council, and composed of the Mayor and five residents
of the community. The resolution also outlines the Steering Committee's responsibilities.
The Mayor will be an ex officio member (without the power to vote on items) and the
Steering Committee members, among other things, must be registered voters of Newport
Beach and be able to make the time commitment to serve on the Steering Committee.
As noted in Resolution No. 2019-7, the General Plan Update Steering Committee
("Steering Committee") is an ad hoc committee with limited terms, is subject to the Brown
Act, that will be responsible for (1) ensuring there is sufficient public outreach and
stakeholder input regarding the update to the General Plan, (2) providing guidance to City
staff regarding the preparation of a Request for Proposal (RFP) for services to update the
General Plan, (3) reviewing responses to the RFP, (4) making a recommendation to the
City Council regarding the selection of a consultant to assist in updating the General Plan,
(5) providing guidance to City staff and the consultant through the "Listen and Learn"
process, and (6) making other recommendations to the City Council regarding the update
of the General Plan, as necessary.
Pursuant to City Council Policy A-2, Boards, Commissions & Committees, and the Maddy
Act, the City Clerk prepared and posted a Notice of Opportunity to be Appointed to the
General Plan Update Steering Committee on Wednesday, January 23, 2019, in the City
Clerk's Office, at the Central Library, on the bulletin board in the City Council Chambers,
and on the City's webpage; and also had the Notice published in the Daily Pilot on
Wednesday, January 23, 2019. As provided in the Notice, applications were accepted
until noon on Wednesday, January 30, 2019. The City Clerk's Office received
39 applications.
Mayor Diane B. Dixon appointed herself, Mayor Pro Tem Will O'Neill and Council Member
Joy Brenner to the ad-hoc Appointments Committee. At the conclusion of the application
period, the applications were forwarded to the ad-hoc Appointments Committee for their
review and scheduling of interviews, if determined necessary.
Mayor Diane B. Dixon considered the recommendations of the ad-hoc Appointments
Committee and is recommending that Nancy Gardner (Chair), Ed Selich, Debbie Stevens,
Larry Tucker and Paul Watkins be appointed to the Steering Committee. Copies of their
applications are attached hereto as Attachment B.
The Steering Committee's term will sunset once the "Listen and Learn" phase of the
project has been completed.

Summarize why you wish to serve the City of Newport Beach on a board, commission or committee. Include any special qualifications
you have which are particularly appro priateto the position for which you are applying.
As the co-chair of the General Plan Advisory Committee for the 2006 General Plan, I would bring a practical knowledge of the
process as well as an "historical" perspective as to what worked and what was less successful in that process, particularly in
public outreach. As an environmentalist, I bring a good knowledge of current issues such as sea level rise and sustainability
which would be helpful in shaping the outreach efforts. Although not a planner by trade, as a council member, I have been
involved in reviewing various plans and projects and have analyzed numerous EIRs. Even more important was the level of
public engagement in such a position. I believe this experience would bring value in the selection of a consultant and the
development of a process that uses a variety of methods to reach the widest number of residents and businesses for this first
phase of the General Pian update.
I certify that all statements made on this application are true and correct to the best of my knowledge. I have read and understand the

Summarize why you wish to serve the City of Newport Beach on aboard, commission or committee. Include any special qualifications
you have which are particularly appropriate to the position forwhich you are applying.
I have a long history of being Involved In a variety of City planning matters and projects. On a major project like a General Plan Update, It
helps to understand the mechanics Involved. I was a member of the Planning .Commission during the multi-year process that led to the 2006
General Plan Update. I also served on the Committee that reviewed the goals and policies of the proposed 2014 General Plan Update. In my
business career, I. have hired, paid for and overseen planning consultants and worked with cities and counties on small and large scale general
plan amendments, The Steering Committee would benefit from members who understand how consultants work and the technical steps
involved In updating a general plan. The consultants who bid on this 7-1119ure contract will be very sophisticated planning professionals. It will
behoove the City to ensure there is public and private sector sophistication on our side. I believe my background will assist the staff and the
Council In ensuring the scope of the update will be appropriate and the costs Incurred will be only those reasonably necessary to meet the
public's expectations for the update. The goal of the Steering Committee should be to see that the consultant Is focused and cost-efficient in
working on the Issues the community wants addressed In the General Plan Update. I like the Idea that the work of the Steering Committee will
end before the actual content of the update is vested In a much broader committee as established by the City Council.
I certify that all statements made on this application are true and correct to the best of my knowledge. I have read and understand the

Summarize why you wish to serve the City of Newport Beach on a board, commission or committee. Include any special qualifications
you have which are particularlyappropriate to the position for which you are applying.
The General Pian Update Steering Committee is critical to the success of the General Plan update process. I believe I will be able to be of
benefit to the Committee by (i) suggesting reasonable, moderate, consensus -driven approaches/id easlsolutions, (ii) active
participation/engagement with the community in the "listen, learn, envisioning" process, (iii) reviewing/appropriately modifying the Request For
Proposal to be provided to consultant prospects, (iv) the thoughtful evaluation of and ultimate recommendation of a consultant, and (v)
developing a road map for the General Man Update Advisory Committee to consider with regard to the General Plan and the Environmental
Impact Report. With business and law degrees, with over 45 years practice as a real estate lawyer, and with significant past and current
community service, I hope to add value to the Committee, if appointed.
Thank you for the opportunity to be considered.
Sincerely,
Paul K. Watkins
