Memorandum from Harbor Quality Committee, recommending the City Council request the Mayor sign the letter which is directed to the California Department of Food and Agriculture to cease issuing permits for the use of PESTICIDES CONTAINING ENDOSULFAN ONTO AGRICULTURAL CROPS IN THE SAN DIEGO CREEK WATERSHED. The City Clerk advised that after the agenda was printed, a letter was received from Nancy Skinner, Member of the Harbor Quality Citizens Advisory Committee regarding the proposed letter to the California Department of Food and Agriculture. Dr. Jack Skinner, 1724 Highland Drive, addressed the Council regarding the subject draft letter and stated that he regularly attends the meetings of the Harbor Quality Committee and has been interested in water quality issues for a number of years. He provided the Council with a brief background on the "Endosulfan" issue, and requested that the State Department of Food and Agriculture be urged to seek issuing permits for the use of insecticides containing Endosulfan on agriculture crops in the San Diego Creek Watershed. Dr. Skinner advised that the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board's recent status report on water quality in Newport Bay cited, in part, as follows: "A notable trend in the latest State Mussel Watch Program Data is the marked increase in total Endosulfan, Endosulfan 1, and Endosulfan Sulfate in all Newport Bay and Watershed Stations. This family of chlorinated organic compounds exhibit low solubility and high persistence in soils. Endosulfan is a restricted pesticide due to its extreme toxicity to aquatic organisms... Therefore, its sudden increase in agriculturally oriented drainages merits further investigation." Dr. Skinner also reviewed the information presented on this issue at the Committee's meeting in February. Motion was made to revise the second paragraph of the subject draft letter in accordance with what was submitted by Nancy Skinner, and to approve the letter for mailing as amended.

Council Member Strauss stated that when the Fisherman's Restaurant was approved a few years ago, the City Council consciously did not permit the sale of hard liquor. He stated that many young people fish at the pier and he felt it would not be appropriate to authorize alcoholic beverages (hard liquor) in the same location. He also noted that Ruby's Restaurant at the Balboa Pier only serves beer and wine. Motion x In view of the foregoing, motion was made to allow the assignment of the lease as requested, with the provision that no alcoholic beverages will be permitted other than beer and wine. Council Member Turner commented that the Fisherman's Restaurant at Newport Pier is a more formal -type dinner house than is Ruby's Diner at Balboa Pier; that hard • liquor is allowed at several of the restaurants in the Fun Zone area, and that possibly the Council was "splitting hairs" on this issue. All Ayes There being no further discussion, the motion was voted on and carried. 3.

H. ORDINANCES FOR ADOPTION: 1. Proposed ORDINANCE NO. 90 -6, being, Ord 90 -6 Recycling AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF Sery Fee THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH (40) ESTABLISHING A RECYCLING SERVICE FEE. Recycled report from City Attorney dated March 12, 1990. The City Manager pointed out that the proposed ordinance would authorize the City Council to impose a monthly recycling fee by resolution. The recycling fee is • strictly limited to the cost incurred by the City in satisfying State mandated recycling requirements and is exclusive of normal costs associated with the collection, hauling and disposal of solid waste. The fee would be the responsibility of, and billed to, the person receiving water service. Separate bills will be sent to those few residences that do not receive water from the City of Newport Beach. Homes and businesses served by private haulers are exempt from the fee. It was further noted that Newport Beach residents are the only people in Orange County that do not pay a fee for trash pickup. Some cities have avoided direct charges by establishing a solid waste management district which contracts with private haulers. Council Member Strauss spoke against the proposal to establish a recycling service fee, stating it has been the City's philosophy for many years to = initiate such a fee and that the cost and expense of • collecting, hauling away and disposal of garbage was defrayed exclusively from the ad valorem tax revenues. If the City Volume 44 - Page 103 • Motion Motion ICIL x CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH x Ayes x x x x x x Noes Ix MINUTES March 26, 1990 Council were to approve of the proposed Recycling ordinance, it would be changing past Sery Fee policy, which he felt was debatable. He stated that the estimated amount to be saved as a result of the proposed service fee is $3.36 million per year, which is equal to 1/3 of 1% of the City's Annual Operating Budget, and in his opinion, is insignificant in terms of the City's overall financial ability. Following the above comments, motion was made to = adopt Ordinance No. 90 -6. Council Member Turner indicated he felt it was appropriate for the City to impose the recycling service fee for the costs it incurs in satisfying State mandated recycling obligations and, therefore, he will not support the motion. He also felt it was the Council's responsibility to constantly look for ways to replenish funds when and where it is deemed necessary. Council Member Cox stated he agreed with the comments of Council Member Turner, indicating he felt that residents should be charged for services rendered in the area of waste disposal and, therefore, will not support the motion. Council Member Watt stated she was in support of the proposed recycling service fee, but felt said fee should depend on the amount of trash disposed, and that not all residents should be charged the same fee. In response to Council Member Watt's concern, the City Manager advised that hopefully at the next study session there will be a report regarding a proposed fee structure for those residents who accumulate more trash than others, if the subject ordinance is adopted. There being no further discussion, a substitute motion was made to adopt Ordinance No. 90 -6. Mayor Plummer and Council Member Hart spoke in support of the recycling program and the proposed recycling service fee. Following the above comments, the substitute motion was voted on and carried.

"RECORDINGS "). Recycled Report from the City Attorney dated March 12, 1990. Motion was made to adopt Ordinance No. 90 -7. I. CONTINUED BUSINESS: 90 -7 1. Report from the City Manager concerning Misc /Mala- MAIATHION SPRAYING. thion Spryg 1(52) Lawrence C. Pendleton, 11 San Sebastian, addressed the Council in opposition to Malathion Spraying. He stated that he was "living proof" of how pesticides can harm human health. He moved to Irvine eight years ago from the City of Arcadia, after two years of doctors' investigations which proved pesticides were the cause of his health deteriorating. Philip Cutler, Member of the Orange County Citizens Against Malathion Spraying, addressed the Council and stated that the United States is the only Country that still uses aerial spraying in urban areas, as other countries try to control the medfly rather than eradicate it. He cited his reasons for opposing this "poisonous chemical" spraying, and urged the City Council to oppose Malathion Spraying. Council Member Watt made a motion to oppose Malathion Spraying in Newport Beach, for the following reasons: It is an unfair intrusion into peoples' lives, and the choices they wish to make with respect to their health and the use of pesticides; The spraying poses a potential risk to safety in an urban area with low - flying formations of helicopters; The spraying is also a potential risk to wildlife, fish and some other useful insects; Because the City does not have adequate information and answers to the questions being asked throughout the State on this issue; and Volume 44 - Page 105 \'a ion CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH I x Ayes Noes I x I x Ix Ix Ix Ix I x • • MINUTES March 26, 1990 The money should be spent to Malathio . encourage and promote all the Spraying alternatives of nonpesticide eradication measures. Council Member Cox made a substitute motion to remain neutral and neither oppose nor support Malathion Spraying. He indicated there is no evidence to support the comments_ made by Council Member Watt, and stated he felt this subject has gotten more "hysterical," rather than rational; therefore, it would be irresponsible for the City Council to take any kind of position when the City is not equipped to pass on these kinds of judgments. The substitute motion was voted on and carried. J. CURRENT BUSINESS: None.
