Removed at the request of Council Member Glover. Motion by Mayor Pro Tem O'Neil to approve the Consent Calendar, except for those items removed (3, 10, and 12). Without objection, the motion carried by acclamation. ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR 3. INTRODUCE ORDINANCE NO. 98 -24 AMENDING CHAPTER 17.22 OF THE NBMC, ANCHORAGE AND MOORING REGULATIONS, REGARDING INOPERABLE AND UNSEAWORTHY VESSELS ON OFFSHORE MOORINGS. Tim Lewis, 12562 Barrett Lane, Santa Ana, stated that he is a U.S. Coast • Guard Master and owner of Mooring HE14. He supported the intent of the amendment but expressed concern relative to the definition of "safety." He stated that it should be replaced with "legal as defined in the Code of Federal Regulations in the California State Boating Law for vessels operated on the waters of Newport Harbor." He also took issue with the definition of "operable," stating that that the line of demarcation at the end of the jetties should be far enough and safe for all vessels. Regarding the definition of "seaworthy," Mr. Lewis expressed the opinion that it should be first defined as legal and then meet the maintenance standards since most of the boats that the City wants removed are not legal. He added that all vessels should have some type of bi- annual inspection when it is mooring inspection time. Council Member Glover stated that the Harbor Quality Citizens Advisory Committee and Deputy Chief Melum have spent a lot of time looking at this and that even the Mooring Association concurred with the amendments. City Attorney Burnham requested that he and Mr. Melum discuss the definitions with Mr. Lewis to maybe include sonic of the suggestions tonight so that it will not be necessary to be bring this back for reintroduction. In response to Council Member Hedges, Mr. Burnham clarified that the City is the trustee of the tidelands and that the mooring permittee owns the mooring equipment. Further, the City is able to enact regulations for mooring uses since the City provides the permits for the space. • Council Member Hedges requested and received clarification from Mr. Melum that the moorings are not actually bought and sold, but that the NBMC allows a mooring to be transferred to the new vessel owner when the Volume 52 - Page 203 INDEX Ord 98 -24 Offshore Moorings (51) City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes October 26, 1998 • vessel is sold. This is a procedure that has been developed over 40 years because it was difficult to sell a boat without a place to put it. He believed this has created an artificial value on the moorings. Mr. Melum stated that the waiting list is maintained by the Harbor Patrol and indicated that the first name on the list goes back to 1967. In response to Mayor Pro Tern O'Neil's questions, Mr. Melum indicated that the City does not receive any type of transfer fee when the mooring is transferred. Mayor Pro Tern O'Neil stated that the City will soon be looking at the tidelands and annual permits that are being issued since they are public waterways, and suggested considering transfer fees and other options. In response to Council Member Hedges' question, Mr. Melum stated that the annual fee is $20 /foot which goes into the tidelands trust for tidelands maintenance. Council Member Hedges suggested raising the price of the mooring fee to meet the market value and zero -out the transfer value. He stated that this may even get rid of the waiting list. Mayor Edwards questioned Mr. Lewis' definitions. Mr. Melum indicated that the ordinance was put together with the assistance of the Mooring Association and the citizens' group, and was modeled after ordinances that are currently in effect in Marina del Rey and Monterey. He stated that there are a number of definitions for "seaworthy" and "safety," and that the Coast Guard's definitions are probably more stringent. Mr. Melum pointed out that the City has a very limited focus and was trying to make the definitions • clear enough to serve its purposes. He stated that he would like to discuss having the legal aspect of a vessel mentioned first in the "seaworthy" definition with the City Attorney since he had not given it any consideration. Mayor Pro Tem O'Neil suggested not making a motion at this time to allow the Mr. Burnham and Mr. Melum the opportunity to meet with Mr. Lewis. Without objection, the matter was trailed. 10. USE OF CITY SEAL FOR HISTORICAL PLAQUE. Council Member Noyes stated that identifying historic significance is a very positive activity. Further, since Balboa Village is a valuable historic district, he believed that this is an appropriate endeavor. Council Member Hedges stated that the request by the property owner gives the City the opportunity to take a look at creating standard signage to recognize not only the historical nature of the area but also buildings. He reported that an inventory of buildings and areas of historic nature was conducted about 7 years ago. He indicated that Balboa has several of the buildings and that the City should take the opportunity to direct the Planning Department to devise a standard plaque and historic walk around the Village. He noted that the Balboa Business Improvement District already created a walk. Motion by Council Member Hedges to direct staff to return to Council in • 30 days with a recommendation and plan to create standard plaques appropriate for posting on buildings, in areas where buildings do not exist, or a third alternative; and also to bring back recommendations on creating a Volume 52 - Page 204 INDEX 700 Bay Ave./ 701 Edgewater City Seal for Historical Plaque (35) City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes October 26, 1998 • historical walk. INDEX Council Member Hedges used the City of Anchorage as an example of a historic walk in the downtown area with old photographs, a map of the area, and historic verbiage relating to the buildings. He stated that a comprehensive approach, rather than a piece meal approach, will point out the strengths and historic interests of Balboa. In response to Mayor Edwards, Council Member Hedges noted that the 700 Bay Avenue building was designated a historical site by Council. Council Member Noyes stated that the process may even identify other buildings that fall into the same category. In response to Council Member Glover's request, Assistant City Manager Wood pointed out that. the criteria is designated in the Council Policy and that nominated buildings are also brought before Council for consideration. She believed not everything in the inventory has been designated a historical site by Council. Mayor Edwards noted that a majority of the buildings on the inventory should be included in the report that will be coming back in 30 days. In response to Council Member Glover's question, Council Member Hedges stated that the buildings in Balboa have been identified and that Council created a citizens committee 7 years ago to identify many of the sites. He indicated that there could still be more sites that the committee was not • aware of at the time. Without objection, the motion carried by acclamation. 12. INSURANCE RESERVE FUND STATUS UPDATE. Insurance Reserve Council Member Glover pointed out that the Insurance Reserve Fund needs Fund (40/47) to be carefully watched. Acting City Manager Danner stated that this was originally addressed in April when a new reserve policy was adopted. He stated that the transfer was based on the consultant's recommendation after the actuarial study was completed. Council Member Glover indicated that the study revealed that the situation is a little more critical than originally believed and recommended receiving quarterly updates. Mr. Danner reported that he wrote a staff report for the June 22 meeting regarding the status of the City's reserve. He stated that it was anticipated that a transfer would be needed to infuse money into the fund, but that the amount was unknown until the books were closed or its affect on the General Fund Reserve was known. He reported that the estimate was $1 million, but the negative cash balance in the fund was $1.6 million on June 30. He stated that tonight's recommendation is to at least cover the cash deficit in the Insurance Reserve Fund. In response to Council Member Glover's questions, Mr, Danner confirmed that the recommendation to increase department charges by an additional • $750,000 per year deals with every department as part of a way to make the fund healthy. He reported that the $4.5 million annually for general Volume 52 - Page 205 City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes October 26, 1998 I IN 01 • liability, workers compensation, and compensated absences is not enough to keep it sustained on an annual basis. Mayor Pro Tem O'Neil stated that the transfer seems to be necessary in order to avoid possible qualified opinion from the auditor. However, with the transfer, the General Fund will be short $1.7 million from meeting the City's policy guidelines. Mayor Pro Tem O'Neil stated that the budget checklist will be coming back at the next meeting and that the total amount of those items totals about $500,000. He wondered if the checklist would be better reviewed as part of the 1999 -2000 budget process if Council will be considering further allocations from the reserves. Motion by Mayor Pro Tem O'Neil to direct staff to not bring the checklist back on November 9 until Council further reviews the 1999 -2000 budget. Motion died for lack of a second. Motion by Council Member Glover to direct staff to transfer $1.6 million into the Insurance Reserve Fund as described in the staff report and increase Insurance Reserve Fund premiums by $750,000. In response to Mayor Pro Tem O'Neil's question, City Attorney Burnham believed that action to defer the checklist cannot be taken tonight based on the way the matter has been agendized. • Dolores Otting expressed concern relative to Council not initiating some type of oversight committee. She reviewed the "conclusion" that indicated the deficiency to be almost $8.3 million and questioned how the City suddenly finds out it does not have enough money when it gets audited annually. Mayor Edwards stated that this issue was brought to Council's attention in April and June, and has been a continuing item that was not just brought out suddenly. Council Member Hedges clarified that the reserve policy was recently updated a few months ago and was subject to numerous meetings of the former Finance Committee. For the first time in many years, Council adopted a reserve policy which sets forth specifically identified funds and uses for the funds in order to not "squirrel away" taxpayer funds. This method meets obligations without funding 100 percent of the next 10 years' projected needs. He emphasized how fiscally responsible this Council has been, pointing out that the City identified deficiencies according to the new policy and established a plan to fund the reserves. He stated that the City Manager is charged with informing Council of the status of the reserve funds and providing a plan to fully fund it. He assured that changing the policy would require another public meeting. Ms. Otting stated that this issue was brought forward during a goal setting meeting in January because there was a shortage. She expressed concern that not as much attention will be paid to these types of details since not • everyone will be on Council soon. Ms. Otting requested that water pumps be installed in her area, especially since Council will be taking money out of the General Fund and the Water/Wastewater Fund. Volume 52 - Page 206 City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes October 26, 1998 INDEX • Mayor Pro Tem O'Neil took issue with Ms. Otting's statements regarding the remainder of Council and the two new Council Members not being responsible enough to manage City affairs. In response to Mayor Pro Tem O'Neil's statements, Tom Hyans expressed the opinion that he attended many Finance Committee meetings and that Council Member Hedges is the only person who challenged any type of conservatism. Regarding the departments' cross charges, Mr. Hyans questioned how the reserves are going to be built up by transferring funds from other departments within the City. He stated that a Council Member indicated two years ago that the reserves were in "fat city." He believed that this problem goes back 5 years and is a cumulative deficiency. Mr. Danner clarified that the general liability for each department was looked at 12 years ago and that the rates were set accordingly and updated annually. Regarding workers compensation, there are four types of employees (public safety /police, public safety /Fire, general labor, and clerical) whose varying rates are set depending on the types of duties performed. Regarding compensated absences, Mr. Danner stated that all employees get vacation and sick leave, and even compensation at time of retirement. Mayor Edwards confirmed that Council established a policy and, without the policy, this item that protects the City would not be before Council. He • stated that Council Member Hedges, Council Member Glover, and Mayor Pro Tem O'Neil were the original Finance Committee members and very much involved. He stated that audience comments are disparaging to the rest of Council. Council Member Glover stated that she has always had a concern regarding the Stabilization Fund, noting that there have been differing opinions relative to the amount that should be placed in the reserves. She stated that she believed that there should be more in the reserves, whereas Council Member Hedges believed there should be less. She reported that, when Council Member Hedges became Chairman of the Finance Committee, they put a policy together concerning reserves. Council Member Glover stated that the City had quite a reserve at one time but has since decreased. She believed that, if the City disciplines itself, it will increase its reserves. She stated that the Insurance Reserve Fund is a bothersome fund because it has been underfunded for years. Without objection, the motion carried by acclamation. PUBLIC COMMENT(S) • Dolores Otting apologized if any Council Member took offense to her earlier comments; however, she took issue with the way the report was written since there is no longer a Finance Committee. In response to her water pump issues, Council Member Hedges suggested that she speak with Public . Works Director Webb.

INTRODUCE ORDINANCE NO. 98 -24 AMENDING CHAPTER 17.22 OF THE NBMC, ANCHORAGE AND MOORING REGULATIONS, REGARDING INOPERABLE AND UNSEAWORTHY VESSELS ON OFFSHORE MOORINGS. City Attorney Burnham stated that he and Deputy Chief Melum discussed changing the definition of "operable" with Mr. Lewis. He recommended it to read, "Operable means capable of eafely-maneuvering under the vessel's own power from the mooring to the line of demarcation «w. ..pe ...ater, .,r the Pseifis and back to the mooring" Mr. Burnham stated that staff will also be coming back with other changes to the mooring ordinance over time to bring it current with Council policy. Motion by Mayor Pro Tern O'Neil to introduce ordinance No. 98 -24, as amended, and set for second reading and adoption on November 9, 1998. In response to Council Member Hedges' question, Mr. Burnham confirmed that the ordinance will give the City tools to eliminate unseaworthy vessels. Without objection, the motion carried by acclamation 13. PROPOSAL FOR A PERMANENT JUNIOR LIFEGUARD TRAINING • AND COMMUNITY CENTER. Following a review of the staff report, Council Member Hedges expressed the opinion that it would be feasible to use the :portable trailers since it is relatively inexpensive to move them into and out of storage. However, if need be, he suggested using commercial space in the downtown Balboa area that may lend itself well to a community area. He expressed concern relative to spending that much money on a seasonal program that a number of non- residents take advantage of. Council Member Noyes clarified that the concept is to use the building throughout the year as a community center and for it to be a partnership between businesses and citizens. The City can then determine how much it wants to put into it. He stated that the concept also offers opportunities for • police or lifeguard substation. He expressed the opinion that the City has • world -class operation but is putting the junior lifeguards in substandard trailers. Council Member Glover stated that the idea is great, but noted that the City is having problems with its reserve fund. She suggested bringing this back during the next fiscal year budget. Council Member Noyes noted that the recommendation is to pursue the concept, not request funds. Council Member Hedges stated that the Junior Lifeguard Program is intended to be a seasonal, recreational program and that it has enabled Newport to expand radically over the years and noted that the facility does not need to be right on the surf line. He believed that people are happy just having the program as it is now because it works, noting that he has not Volume 52 - Page 208 INDEX Junior Lifeguard Training and Community Center (51) City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes October 26, 1998 INDEX • heard one complaint about the program. Motion by Council Member Hedges to receive and file the staff report. Council Member Noyes stated that the instigation came from the community and their desire to contribute to this type of program. Mr. Riley stated that staff does not recognize a current problem and that the program has not suffered because of the current facility, particularly with the adjacency to the sand and grass. He believed that the request by Council Member Noyes was an opportunity to create a public/private partnership and stated that staff feels there is no further need to pursue additional existing spacer He reported that the program fully funds the costs for the trailers and operation. Substitute motion by Council Member Names to direct staff to continue exploring the feasibility of constructing a permanent Junior Lifeguard/ Community Center near Balboa Park through a joint public/private fundraising program and all the opportunities available. Virginia Herberts stated that her homeowners association has been traditionally opposed to any more paving of the sand and building of a permanent structure. Michael Lawler, 1515 Cumberland Lane, expressed support of exploring the • feasibility of the project. He expressed the opinion that the Junior Lifeguard Program is one of the best things the City offers. Tom Hyans stated that the Central Newport Beach Community Association also has a long standing policy to oppose any additional construction or paving of the beach. He agreed that the lifeguard program is a great program; however, expressed the opinion that a 6,000 square foot facility is quite large for Balboa when the 800 square foot facility was adequate and had adjacent toilets and showers. He stated that, regardless of where the money comes from, the building will still be in front of residents. Council Member Noyes noted that approving the substitute motion does not mean the City will build something on the beach but will explore the feasibility of doing something. Curt Herberts suggested using the Newport Elementary School as the site and installing showers. Council Member Glover asked about the amount of parking that will be needed for the proposed facility. Assistant City Manager Wood stated that the Code does not set a standard but that it will be specified in the use permit. This will give the Planning Commission flexibility, depending on the type of use. She believed that, they would probably want the lower end of the parking requirement which is one parking space for 3 seats or one per 35 square feet. This size building would require at most 170 spaces. • Mayor Edwards requested some way to keep the idea going but not too far. Council Member Noyes expressed the opinion that the motion does this and Volume 52 - Page 209 City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes October 26, 1998 • stated that the program is already run on a shoestring. Council Member Thomson stated that he is probably the only Council Member with a child in the program. He agreed it is a great program with a great future, but understands that residents would not want another building on the sand. He remembered that there was once a concept to build an unobtrusive building underneath a portion of the existing pier. He agreed with Council Member Noyes that some of the ideas should be explored and not just shut down. The substitute motion failed by the following roll call vote: Ayes: Thomson, O'Neil, Noyes Noes: Glover, Hedges, Edwards Absent: Debay The main motion failed by the following roll call vote: Ayes: Glover, Hedges, Edwards Noes: Thomson, O'Neil, Noyes Absent: Debay 14, LEASE DISCUSSIONS — LIDO ISLE STREET END PARKS, BEACHES, AND MARINA. • Following a review of the staff report, Mayor Pro Tem O'Neil stated that the preliminary meetings he and Council Member Hedges had with the Lido Isle Community Association (LICA) were beneficial. He recommended that he and the newly elected representative of District 1 meet with LICA a few more times and then conduct an open meeting for Council consideration. In response to Council Member Hedges' question, City Attorney Burnham believed that this issue can probably come back to Council in about 60 days. Mayor Pro Tem O'Neil stated that there would be a benefit in having a meeting with LICA within the next 30 days and believed that this may even be resolved in that time. Motion by Mayor Edwards to direct Council Member Hedges and Mayor Pro Tem O'Neil to continue to meet over the next 30 days with the Lido Isle Community Association (LICA) representatives on the proposed lease and, if negotiations aren't complete during that timeframe, have the newly elected representative for District 1 assume Hedges' position in the negotiations. Without objection, the motion carried by acclamation. 15. SWEARING IN DATE FOR NEW CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS (Requested by Council Member Hedges). City Clerk Harkless reported that the County will certify the election on • November 24. Motion by Mayor Pro Tem O'Neil to schedule November 30, 1998, as the date for the swearing in ceremony.
