In response to Council Member Strauss, regarding the letter received from the Legal Aid Society, the City Attorney advised than the City has received similar letters on prior occasions. The basic contention is that the City's Housing Element is inadequate under State Law. This is an issue that will be litigated and the City's position is that its Housing Element, and all procedures relating thereto, are in compliance with State Law. In response to Council Member Heather, the Planning Director outlined Conditions of Approval No. 38, 39 and 40 relating to affordable housing, noting that prior to recordation of the final map, the applicant shall enter into an agreement with the City, guaranteeing the provision of eight "affordable" units.

Proposed VIDEOPLAN, (no -cost videocassette service program exclusively for libraries) Agreement between the City of Newport Beach Public Library and Professional Media Service Corp., was presented with a report from Library Board of Trustees. Council Member Strauss indicated his concern as to whether the proposed program was an appropriate function for the City to undertake, and questioned if such a program would be competing with commercial enterprise. Mary Richmond, Chairman, Board of Library Trustees, addressed the Council and cited reasons the Board felt the subject program was needed. She stated that Newport Beach would be the seventh City in Orange County to implement a Videoplan. She also stated she did not feel it would be competitive with local merchants and urged the Council to give it favorable consideration.

The City Clerk advised the City Council that after the agenda was printed, a letter from Seymour Beek was received in support of the 10 p.m. closure because of the subsequent noise and litter problem. Council Member Strauss noted that it petition had been submitted, requesting a change from the 12 midnight closure time of the beach from the Wedge to E Street to 10 p.m., and stated that if the request were granted, it could set precedent for similar requests. It was further noted that the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission, following consideration of said request, recommended that the beach from E Street Volume 38 - Page 95 COUNCIL MEMBERS 40 • Motion x CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MINUTES March 26, 1984 to the Wedge be open until midnight with the provision of additional police enforcement, and that additional signs be posted on the beach in the area of E Street to the Wedge notifying people of the beach closure time. Mrs. Patricia Eichenhofer, 2128 E. Ocean Boulevard, addressed the Council and stated that the reason their group is in support of the 10 p.m, beach closure is because people are staying overnight on the beach which causes increased noise and traffic, thereby disturbing the residents in the immediate area. She also suggested a lifeguard be placed on patrol of the beach. Police Chief Charles Gross addressed the Council and stated that there would be similar problems regardless of what time the beach were to close. He stated that it was no more difficult to enforce the 10 p.m. closure than at 12 midnight. David Harshbarger, Marine Director, addressed the Council and stated that the Balboa Pier parking lot is staffed and patrolled 24 hours to collect fees and insure no sleeping in vehicles. He stated that if the beach were closed at 10 p.m. from the Wedge to E Street, he would suggest that one jeep and one man be added to patrol the area from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. for the summer season. The estimated cost for personnel and equipment is $4,500. In addition, police assistance may also be needed. R. G. Mitchell, 2172 E. Ocean Front, addressed the Council and spoke in support of closing the beach at 10 p.m. He stated that many of the nighttime users are ":repeats," weekend after weekend, and are an entirely different breed than daytime users. He stated he did not feel the beach closure was being enforced properly, and suggested that citations be issued to those violators. He stated that many people leave the beach when requested by law enforcement, but return shortly after police officials have left the area.

In response to Council Member Strauss, the Public Works Director stated that the purpose of this appraisal is to ascertain if there would be a legal basis for forming an assessment district, whereby the benefitted property owners would pay for all, or a portion of the cost of a higher bridge. With respect to the estimated cost of the appraisal, it was difficult for the appraiser to give a definite cost amount because of the nature of the appraisal.
