CLOSED SESSION REPORT PRESENTED - None RECESSED AND RECONVENED AT 7:00 P.M. FOR REGULAR MEETING ROLL CALL Present: O'Neil, Edwards, Debay, Cox, Glover, Watt and Mayor Hedges Absent: None Pledge of Allegiance - Council Member Watt Invocation by Bishop Weatherford T. Clayton, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Dave Carmichael, President of the Newport Beach Public Library Foundation; Katie Robertson, Treasurer of the Newport Beach Public Library Foundation; and Judy Kelley, Youth and Branch Services Manager; presented the City with a check for $50,000 for CD ROM databases for the library's local area network. Mr. Carmichael announced that the donor wall at the library was donated on Sunday, November 24, 1996 and every person or organization donating $1,000 will get their name added to the wall. He also announced that on December 12, 1996 a shopping day will be held at Bloomingdale's and 10% of the sales will go to benefit •the Library Foundation. Mayor Hedges presented a tile plaque and crystal bowl to outgoing Council Member Jean Watt as an expression of appreciation on behalf of the City. He thanked her for her service to the community over the past eight years and wished her the best of luck in the future. City Manager Murphy explained that it has been the City's tradition over the years to give outgoing Council Members a City seal tile plaque, however it didn't really seem like the tile plaque alone expressed the City's appreciation in an appropriate fashion to someone who has given eight years of their life at a minimum of twice a month at Council meetings, many more hours at Council committee meetings, regional meetings, late night phone calls, etc. so after consultation with several people about what the appropriate gift would be for outgoing Council members, staff came up with the crystal bowl idea. Nancy Gardner, speaking as a representative of the Newport Chapter of Surfrider Foundation, saluted Council Member Watt for her work on the environment, particularly water quality issues, and presented her with a plaque from the Foundation. She also saluted her, as a resident, for her belief that she was elected to represent all the people in the City, not just those that agreed with her. She said that because of this belief, she listened to all the people and took into consideration what they said. She said that this attitude and what she has brought to the political process has been just as significant a contribution as what she has done for the environment. •Nancy Skinner said that prior to serving eight years on Council, she remembers many more years that Council Member Watt served the community. She reminisced about when a group met with Jean to convince her to nm for Council and how they knew she would be the perfect candidate because she would be a person with the highest level of integrity, extremely competent and committed to maintaining the Volume 50 - Page 371 City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes November 25, 1996 111_, quality of life for the residents of Newport Beach. She noted that Jean has worked for open space, parks, the environment, Newport Bay, against the expansion of the airport, as well as watching out for the density of the housing, while caring and •maintaining a viable interest in the economy. She expressed her gratitude for the years she served the City. Art Gronsky said that living in the City is good now because of Council Members, and particularly Jean Watt. He said that Jean has always done her homework, is always well prepared to discuss the matters before the Council and is able to vote intelligently. He noted that it was a pleasure to work on one project with her (Measure A) because she was completely devoted to it. lie said the City owes her a great deal of thanks and a big hand for doing a wonderful. job for eight years. Maryann Towercy noted that Jean is never one to sing her own praises or one to sit comfortably while others praise her for all the good work she has done or her ideas. She said that Jean Watt was the worst thing that could have ever happened to the pro group movement of Newport Beach, but the positive side is that the City is almost built out and it is very livable and very beautiful. She said that she knows that Jean will continue to be the guardian of the City, its beauty and it's environment and thanked her for all of her good work. Council Members Glover, Cox, Debay, Edwards, O'Neil and Mayor Hedges all expressed their gratitude and thanks to Council Member Watt for her years of service on the Council and remembered and reminisced about particular areas of her service to Newport Beach, as well as her personal attributes. Outgoing Council Member Jean Watt expressed her appreciation for everyone's comments, especially Council Member Cox. She said she is not fond of endings, she •is fond of beginnings so she is looking at this as a beginning. She said the City is beginning term limits and she is beginning to find out what it is like to be the recipient of term limits. She thanked the electorate for letting her serve on the Council for eight years and said she thinks they did the right thing by voting for term limits. She said she voted for term limits to and probably what everybody was trying to say was that they want the wisest, fairest, most representative, most efficient government possible and by throwing everybody out of office on a regular basis, maybe somehow the dream will come true. She said the bottom line is that the City needs to find and support people who are wise, fair and intellectually balanced and in order to get that a community balance has to be provided so the candidates can be independent from one sided financing. She said she feels that has been true in most of the campaigns and the community balance comes from both sides of the equation trying to find and support candidates. She said that we also have to hope that the candidates are free from the money influence on any side of the equation and she also hopes that candidates are free from irrelevant, counter productive partisan politics. She also thanked the electorate for working to get a balance on the Council. She also thanked the staff for all the things they have done to help her to do justice to her district and her task. She said that even though a distance has to be kept in order to deal with personnel and salary matters, the "staff is us" and "we are them," and sometimes people talk as if staff has a bureaucratic view that isn't the Council's, but basically they work with the community, citizens groups, and with the Council to get a consensus. She gave examples of accomplishments that have been made (Balboa Island Fire Station, the Irvine Ranch water problem, airport, etc.). She said that she has one problem with the staff and noted that it doesn't seem right that the Fire and Police Employee Associations •support and campaign for Council candidates, which she noted are usually the same ones that the Chamber of Commerce supports. She said it is sort of an establishment thing, therefore if the prevailing establishment leads to more or excessive growth and development and less open space, recreation, quiet neighborhoods, clean air and water, then she is anti - establishment. She said she thinks the City has a reasonably balanced establishment in the City and she is Volume 50 - Page 372 City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes November 25, 1996 grateful for that. She said she thinks all of those that have come out supporting different values have worked together and elected people that are representative of that. She thanked everyone for their comments and voiced her appreciation for her •Council colleagues. Motion by Mayor Pro Tent Debay to waive reading of the Minutes of the Regular Meeting of November 12, 1996, approve as written and order filed.

Mayor Hedges said that he would recommend that any areas that are still of concern be pulled off the ordinance and referred to the Traffic Affairs Committee. Motion by Council Member Edwards to adopt Ordinance No. 96 -42, as modified by the removal of and referral of Highland Drive from Irvine Avenue to Westcliff Drive, Holiday Road from Tustin Avenue to Irvine Avenue, Port Seaborne Way from Newport Hills East to Newport Hills West, and Santiago Drive from Irvine Avenue to Westcliff Drive (Section 12.24.030) to the Traffic Affairs Committee, and to adopt Ordinance No. 96 -43. He asked that the residents who have written and expressed concern be notified of the date and place when this will be discussed by the committee since he believes this is an education issue. Mayor Pro Tem Debay clarified that the Public Works Committee reviewed the changes and approved forwarding them to City Council for consideration, however did not recommend raising the speed limits. She also clarified that the limits are being raised to 30 mph, not 35 mph. • City Manager Murphy recommended that Port Seabourne Way from Newport Hills East to Newport Hills West (Section 12.24.030) also be removed and referred to the Traffic Affairs Committee. Council Member Cox recommended that Newport Hills Drive West and Newport Hills Drive East also be removed and referred to the Traffic Affairs Committee. Council Member Edwards restated his motion to adopt Ordinance Nos. 96 -42 and 96 -43 as amended with all of the recommended streets removed and referred to the Traffic Affairs Committee for further study. Council Member Glover spoke in opposition to increasing speed limits on residential streets so that radar can be used to catch speeders. She stated that this is not in the best interest of the people of Newport Beach, not the correct approach to use, bad public policy and an injustice to the community.

(38) SHORE AREAS. Volume 50 - Page 375 City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes November 25, 1996 Mayor Pro Tem. Debay said that the Upper Bay dredging project was a discussion issue during the recent campaign forums, therefore she would like to get an update on the funding situation. • Public Works Director Webb reported that he spoke with the Wetlands Program Coordinator for the State Resources Agency today, who also sits on the Coastal Commission. He explained that last August it was anticipated, based on information received from various different state agencies, that a Wetlands Mitigation Bank fund would be set up sometime around November or December and the Upper Bay dredging project would be the first on the priority list to receive funding, however the bank has not been set up so there is no funding at the present time. He said they also anticipated that funding would be received from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, however the Resources Agency has now indicated that based on the agreements that have been worked out with the County, the Port money is going to be going towards the Bolsa -Chita project. However, if it falls through then Newport Beach would be at the top of the list again. The Coastal Commission continued a hearing on the Southern California Edison Songs project, the San Onofre plant, and at that hearing the State Resources Agency suggested that mitigation measures be added to the Songs project, which would create a remediation fund which was larger than was originally anticipated in the mitigation measures that SCE was required to put forth. That fund would be an $11 million fund and it was indicated that it was the intent that the $5 million dredging portion of the project in Upper Newport Bay would be earmarked to be part of that fund. The Coastal Commission will hear this again in February and it was suggested that the City support it as actively as possible. It was also pointed out that the new Speaker of the House will be appointing four new Coastal Commissioners and if the City • has any political contacts with the Speaker and those new members it might be beneficial to the City. He said the State Resources Agency was optimistic that by this time next year if the Songs project does not come through, that there would be some funding, but it was not indicated where the funding would come from. He reiterated that as of today the City does not have $5 million to start the dredging project and the outlook is not all that rosy. Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Debay to adopt Resolution No. 96 -95 approving Negative Declaration 96 -157 and implementing a sediment control and enhancement project in portions of Upper Newport Bay Unit III and adjacent on and off -shore areas.

PROPOSED COUNCIL POLICY A -14, RESTRICTIONS ON COMMUNICATIONS INITIATED BY THE CITY OFFICIALS AND CITY STAFF WITH CIVIL SERVICE BOARD MEMBERS. City Manager Murphy reported that at the Legislative Committee meeting at the end of last week this matter was requested by the committee to be • continued to address the issue the Mayor touched on earlier in terms of ex parte communications, so staff would like to pull this item from consideration and return it so the package is complete. Motion by Council Member Edwards to refer the proposed policy to the Legislative Committee.

ANNUAL REVIEW OF COUNCIL COMMITTEES. Mayor Hedges indicated that this item relates to the annual review of Council committees. He said that part of that review encompasses the citizens committees and there is a recommendation which envisions combining Environmental Quality Affairs and Harbor Quality Citizens Committee. He said he thinks this is a good idea, however the physical make -up of that committee was not discussed and there needs to be a recommendation from the Legislative Committee on that, particularly with a view towards trying to keep at least the level of citizen participation that we now have with the two committees.

THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A CRIME SUPPRESSION UNIT TO BE FUNDED BY THE RECEIPT OF $160,721.28 IN STATE FUNDS FROM THE CITIZEN'S OPTION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY PROGRAM (COPS) [AB32291, TO BE DEPOSITED IN A SPECIAL SUPPLEMENTAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES FUND (SLESF) IN TFIE CITY. Mayor Hedges commented that the report is very good and the proposal has also been recommended by the Public Safety Committee. In response to Mayor Pro Tern Debay's question about the rental cost of vehicles ($600 each) and the type of vehicles used, Police Chief McDonell explained that the City is involved in short term rentals on other undercover projects where the City has the ability to turn those vehicles over every couple of weeks if they get burned in surveillance, etc. He reiterated that they are used vehicles that are excess on vehicle lots that the City deals with, so the makes vary, but generally they are older and not in the greatest of shape. Motion by Council Member O'Neil to approve the receipt of $160,721.28 in state funds for the establishment of a Crime Suppression Unit as outlined in • this report and as recommended by the Council's Public Safety Committee at their meeting of November 15, 1996. The Mayor opened the public hearing, and hearing no testimony, closed the hearing.

SB 836 revises the threshold number of employees an employer can have before falling under the requirements of AQMD Rule 2202, the mandatory trip reduction rule. The threshold has been raised from 100 to 250 employees that employers can have before they must prepare and implement a trip reduction rule. The test will be in effect for a year and a half, at which time it will be evaluated and then either revert back to 100 or increase to 500 employees. In summary, he said it will be about a three year test program. The AQMD will be providing $1.5 million a year over two years to promote voluntary ridesharing, which is the principle theme of SB 836. The money will be distributed to eligible rdeshare agencies, such as SCAG, Southern California Rideshare Department, OCTA, or other eligible transportation agencies. The most significant current activity involves updating the 1994 Air Quality Management Plan, which is required by law to be done every three years. As it was approved, the 1997 AQMP contains several control measures that were initiated in the 1994 plan and it postpones or drops all together several marginal measures that were deemed less cost effective or other wise unfeasible, such as indirect source rules for shopping centers and special event centers. The only measures in the plan that will directly affect local governments involve the requirement to pave or treat unpaved roads and to replace current technology or brush -type street sweepers with PM -10 efficient or vacuum -type street sweepers whenever they are to be replaced. There is no mandatory replacement time for them. The plan shows that both the emissions and the pollution levels have steadily decreased toward healthful levels. For example, the number of Stage One smog alerts for ozone has decreased from 121 days in 1977 to 41 days in 1990 to just 14 last year and the 7 that have occurred this year are probably all there will be, in as much as we are already out of the so called "smog season." He reminded the Council that his office is available to assist the City in any air quality matters that may arise, particularly the AB 2766 reporting requirements. He said his office administers both the discretionary fund and the subvention fund portions of that program. He noted that the City of Newport Beach receives about $75,000 per year from the subvention fund portion of AB 2766. Council Member Edwards recognized and saluted the following teams from the two high schools: the Corona del Mar and Harbor High girls tennis teams - Harbor is still playing in the CIF playoffs and Corona del Mar had an incredible season as well; the Harbor football team who are still playing in the CIF playoffs; the Harbor volleyball team who won their league and went on to CIF; both moot court competition teams that are undefeated in the constitutional law foundation (2 -0) and moving forward in the county- wide circuit. Mayor Hedges reiterated that the airport issue is coming to a head during the first week in December. He asked that if there is anyway the residents can help out, to please do so. If someone wants to help out in this last big push on December 9, 1996, he urged them to contact the City Attorney at 644 -3131, the Assistant to the City Manager at 644 -3002 or call City Hall to Volume 50 • Page 378 I ` 1 '1 City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes November 25, 1996 to the proper people. n � S16. MAYORAL ROTATION (Requested by Council Member Glover). Council Member Glover reported that this was on the agenda at the last meeting, but because of comments by Council Member Cox it sort of floated and never landed anywhere. She said she would like to recommend to the City Council that this be the beginning of a document that would be studied. Motion by Council Member Glover to have the Mayor appoint herself and others on the Council, or the outgoing members, as an ad -hoc committee to look at this and see if they would recommend it to the full Council. Council Member Cox said that his opinion has not changed and thinks it is up to the Council in the future to always have the right to select its Mayor and the Mayor should serve at the discretion of the Council. He said this proposal would change that whole ability, therefore he would oppose the motion. Council Member O Neil said he doesn't necessarily oppose the motion since it may have some merit and he thinks that looking at some options that might involve a rotation or some other system that helps the Council with the business of selecting a Mayor and a Mayor Pro Tom might be worth looking at. However, he said he would suggest that this be referred to the Legislative Committee and considered after the new Council members are seated. He said he would support the concept of looking at it but only after the new City Council has been seated, unless the maker of the motion wants to refer it to the Legislative Committee and then have it come back in whatever period of time it takes (60 -90 days), with some kind of a recommendation. Council Member Watt said she feels there are benefits to having the rotation, but the way to get at it would be to have some form and substance to the debate that goes on at the Legislative Committee. She said whoever does this should try to first of all look at some of the places that have it, find out why they did that, how it works and then list the pros and cons. She said the pros are obvious in some ways to her. She said it is an irrelevant discussion that goes on as to who should be Mayor for the wrong reasons sometimes. The Mayor typically is someone who represents the Council and is able to chair the Council such that the consensus is brought forth and assures that everything is discussed properly, etc. Unless somebody doesn't want to serve as Mayor, that particular function is brought out better in the sense of what the Mayor is by taking it out of the political arena. Substitute motion by Mayor Hedges to table the matter indefinitely. The motion carried by the following roll call vote: Ayes: Edwards, Debay, Cox, Mayor Hedges Noes: O'Neil, Glover, Watt Absent: None Abstain: None MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION - None Prior to adjourning the meeting, Mayor Hedges stated that he may not be able to attend the meeting on December 3, 1996, therefore he bid outgoing Council Member John Cox farewell and indicated that he enjoyed serving with him for the past six years.
