ADDITIONAL BUSINESS
The Clerk stated that on August 26, 1957, because of the lateness
of the hour, action had been deferred regarding consideration of
acquisition of the Pacific Electric "Y" property for off- street
parking, street widening and street extension purposes, and that the
pertinent letter directed to the City Manager from Ben Reddick, 0. W.
Richard, Roger Barrow and Al Forgit, had not been presented. The
Clerk read said letter which states, in part, that the sum of $50,000
would be placed in escrow not later than August 26, 11to be used by
the city as matching funds, for the purpose of the acquisition of the
so- called "Y" property of the P. E. Railway Company line, in the area
between Newport Blvd., and Balboa Blvd., and between 30th and 32nd.
Streets, of the city of Newport Beach, California;" said money to be
paid to the City, as and when the City is obligated to pay for the
acquisition of said property, or for the purpose of making a deposit
in a proceeding in eminent domain. A discussion was had. The
question was raised as to the meaning in this instance of "matching
funds." It was agreed that said term would have to be clarified
when and if action is taken. It was brought out that the City con-
templated the employment of D. Jackson Faustman, consulting traffic
engineer of Sacramento, to determine the need and justification of
a new street, or improvement of existing streets, in the area bounded
by 30th Street, 32d Street, Balboa Boulevard and Newport Boulevard.
On motion of Councilman Hart, seconded by Councilman Wilder and
carried, it was agreed that no action would be taken at this time
regarding the acquisition of the Pacific Electric "Y" property pending
the results of the proposed traffic survey indicating the advisability
of what should be done in the area involved.
The City Manager read the proposal, submitted by D. Jackson
Faustman for traffic engineering services, contained in a letter
dated August 30, 1957. In said letter Mr. Faustman proposes to
consider, through surveys and studies, "the general problem of the
possibility of utilization by the City of the Pacific Electric right -
of -way, bounded by 30th Street, 32nd Street, Balboa Boulevard and
Newport Boulevard;" and Mr. Faustman proposes to present a plan for
the Balboa - Newport interesection including McFadden Place and those
portions of Newport and Balboa Boulevards lying south of the Pacific
Electric property described above; the total cost of said surveys
would be $1600. A further discussion was had and Councilman Wilder
stated that the merchants' offer of the "matching funds" in this
matter seems to be a generous offer and substantial evidence of
concern regarding parking facilities. In answer to an inquiry as
to whether or not the merchants proposed to improve any portion of
the "Y" property that remains, if acquired by the City for street
purposes, Mr. Ben Reddick stated that the merchants would contribute
both to land acquisition and improvement of the property for parking
purposes, and in additional amounts, if necessary. It was brought
out that the primary responsibility of the City is to provide for
traffic flow and not off - street parking. Mr. Leslie Peterson spoke
from the audience in regard to this matter. On motion of Councilman
Hart, seconded by Councilman Wilder and carried, the employment of
D. Jackson Faustman as consulting traffic engineer was authorized and
the transfer of $1600 from the Parking Fund Surplus to Parking Meters
and Lots budget, was authorized, to pay for the services of Mr.
Faustman.
The Clerk presented Appropriation Request No. 57- 55 -27; an
additional appropriation from Trailer Park Surplus in the amount of
$500 for purchase of parts to hook up trailers to the utilities;
amount reimbursable from the tenant; estimated revenues for the
Trailer Park are to be increased in the amount of $500. On motion
of Councilman Wilder, seconded by Councilman Stoddard and carried,
said Appropriation Request was approved.
The Clerk presented Fund Transfer - Appropriation Request No.
57- 55 -32, in the amount of $2,590, from Council- Expense N. 0. C.

Plannin Commission Mayor Hill stated that the annual report of the Planning Commission,
