AMENDMENT TO DESIGN REQUIREMENTS OF BALBOA C -3248 THEATER LEASE (C- 3248). Balboa Theatre Lease In response to Council Member Glover's question, Assistant City Manager • (38) Wood stated that the Balboa Theater is on the City's local list of sites of Volume 53 - Page 120 • • City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes December 13, 1999 historical or architectural significance. She added that the requirement to be in substantial compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's guidelines is part of the lease agreement between the City and the Balboa Performing Arts Theater Foundation. Council Member Glover further confirmed that it would be the City that would enforce compliance with the agreement, not the Secretary of the Interior. Assistant City Manager Wood added that the lease provides for the City's Ad Hoc Committee to Promote the Revitalization of the Balboa Peninsula (PROP) to review the plans for the required improvements, and that PROP uses the Secretary of the Interior's guidelines as well as the City's criterion to provide a first class community theater. Assistant City Manager Wood stated that PROP has the final review authority to authorize the design plans, but that there is also a provision for appeal to the City Council in the agreement. She confirmed for Council Member Glover that she is unaware of any other instances where an ad hoc committee serves as an oversight committee. Mayor Pro Tem Adams stated that he recently saw a presentation on the conceptual plans for the Balboa Theater. He said that he was impressed with the plans and suggested that the presentation should maybe be made to the City Council at a future Study Session. Council Member Ridgeway agreed and felt that the Foundation would welcome the opportunity. He stated that such a presentation to the City Council should be for informational purposes only and not interfere with PROP's authority. Mayor Pro Tem Adams confirmed that the presentation would be for information only and he agreed that a regular meeting would be appropriate also. Motion by Council Member O'Neil to approve amendment applying historic guidelines only to exterior improvements. The motion carried by the following roll call vote Ayes: Adams, Glover, Thomson, Ridgeway, Debay, O'Neil, Mayor Noyes Noes: None Abstain: None Absent: None 15. EASTBLUFF SCHOOL TRAFFIC. Mayor Pro Tem Adams stated that he has been contacted by concerned parents about safe routes to the Eastbluff School. He stated that the Public Works Department has been studying the issue and is close to making some recommendations. Transportation/Development Services Manager Edmonston stated that staff began working with the school district before the school opened on signage, • parking lot layouts and circulation. He said they have since monitored the level of activity and met with representatives of the PTA. He stated that they have embarked on a process of working with the school community to Volume 53 - Page 121 INDEX Eastbluff School Traffic (85) • • City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes December 13, 1999 identify the paths that children are using to get to school and which ones should be recommended. Motion by Mayor Pro Tern Adams to direct staff to continue working with the Eastbluff School community to develop a "Suggested Routes to School" program. The motion carried by the following roll call vote: Ayes: Adams, Glover, Thomson, Ridgeway, Debay, O'Neil, Mayor Noyes Noes: None Abstain: None Absent: None 16. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON POLE REPLACEMENT ALONG SAN JOAQUIN HILLS ROAD. Council Member Thomson stated that he has received a number of complaints from people in the Spyglass area because suddenly the Edison poles and wires are ten feet higher. He said that Edison is willing to reduce the height of the poles but when the higher poles are needed in five years, Edison ratepayers will pay for the cost of the additional replacement. Council Member Thomson asked which ratepayers would pay for the replacement and suggested that the process for undergrounding the poles should possibly begin now. He added that the cost of undergrounding should be borne not only by those that will benefit from the removal of the poles, but also by those that use the electricity. Council Member Ridgeway stated his understanding that Council Member Thomson was asking that no action be taken on the poles for the next five years, but that the project be identified as a potential 20A project under Edison's funds for community lines. Motion by Council Member Thomson to request that Southern California Edison take no action on the poles for the next five years other than to cut off the tops of the new poles to the height of the old poles, to identify the project as a possible 20A project in the future under Southern California Edison's community lines and to have the process for undergrounding of the poles begin as soon as possible. Council Member Ridgeway stated that the 20A funds are committed until 2001, but approximately $330,000 per year should then be available. He stated his support of Council Member Thomson's motion. H. Ross Miller, 1627 Bay Cliff Circle, Spyglass Ridge Community Association, agreed with Council Member Thomson that the new higher poles are a disgrace. He stated that some people in his area think that the poles were moved because of a problem with the placement of plants by the Harbor Day School in a location where Edison power poles were located. He asked for an update on the plans for the school building. Council Member Thomson reported that plans have been worked out Volume 53 - Page 122 INDEX Edison Pole Replacement (89) • • • City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes December 13, 1999 between the City and Harbor Day School to place large trees next to the building, using an Edison right -of -way easement. He added that there is no relationship between this easement and the new higher poles. He stated his confidence that Mr. Miller and others in the area will be happy with the changes planned for Harbor Day School. Council Member Ridgeway confirmed with Council Member Thomson that his motion does not approve the use of the 20A funds. Council Member Thomson agreed and stated that the actual commitment would have to be made separately at a later date. The motion carried by the following roll call vote Ayes: Adams, Glover, Thomson, Ridgeway, Debay, O'Neil, Mayor Noyes Noes: None Abstain: None Absent: None 20. BUDGET AMENDMENT TO TRANSFER MONEY ($12,000) FROM RESERVES PER COUNCIL POLICY AND APPROPRIATE SUCH FUNDS TO PURCHASE ONE SAILBOAT, BUY REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR OTHER SAILBOATS AND SABOTS AND CONSTRUCT A NEW SABOT SAILBOAT RACK. Council Member Thomson announced and suggested that owners of Lido 14's might want to donate their sailboats to the City. Mayor Pro Tem Adams confirmed with City Manager Bludau that the money is coming from recreational program fees through a specific reserve account that has been set aside. Tom Hyans, 217 19th Street, stated that the beach between 19th and 16th Streets has been, and continues to be, a great place for sailing lessons. He stated that the problem with the proposed facility is the construction of boat racks at 18th Street. He said similar areas are abused and are not taken care of. He suggested an area on 19th Street that might be a better location and already has a storage facility. Mr. Hyans stated that he wrote these comments to the Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission. He concluded by requesting that the storage areas be policed and cleaned -up on a daily basis. Motion by Council Member Ridgeway to approve Budget Amendment (BA -026). Council Member Ridgeway stated that General Services Director Niederhaus has agreed to check the storage facility at 19th Street to determine if there is room for twelve sabots in the building. He added that he agreed with Mr. Hyans that the Community Services Department does need to take better care of the beach storage areas. Council Member Ridgeway stated his agreement with Council Member Thomson's announcement to have anyone with Lido 14's or sabots available for donation to contact the Community Services Department. Volume 53 - Page 123 I SO 11 BA -026 Sabot Sailboats Purchase (40162) City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes December 13, 1999 • Mayor Noyes stated his concern that Mr. Hyans letter to the Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission was not included in the current staff report. City Manager Bludau stated that the item was for approval of the budget amendment only, and did not discuss the location of the new boat rack. The motion carried by the following roll call vote: Ayes: Adams, Glover, Thomson, Ridgeway, Debay, O'Neil, Mayor Noyes Noes: None Abstain: None Absent: None 22. WATER QUALITY EDUCATION PLAN - WEST NEWPORT & MORE. Council Member Ridgeway stated that on January 11, 1999, the City Council approved the development of a program to educate people about feeding birds. Deputy City Manager Kiff stated that on January 11, 1999, the City Council considered an ordinance that would have prohibited the public from feeding ducks but, instead, requested that the Harbor Quality Committee develop an education program. • Deputy City Manager Kiff stated that the staff report includes the package of materials approved by the Harbor Quality Committee at its recent meeting. These items were displayed on the overhead and included a letter from the Harbor Quality Citizens Advisory Committee to primarily West Newport residents that would be sent with a proposed sign that would be displayed near the water on existing sign poles and an article on gull problems. Finally, Deputy City Manager Kiff displayed an insert that would be included with the City's water bills. He said the information pieces do not blame the ducks for the pollution problem in the bay water, but are an attempt to educate people to not feed them to see if it will help the problem. Council Member Debay complimented the proposal and asked that Deputy City Manager Kiff include the staff report and attachments in the agenda packet for the January meeting of the West Newport Committee. Council Member Debay stated that the Orange County Sanitation District is looking into ultraviolet treatment of some of the storm drains, and that she would get that information to Deputy City Manager Kiff when it becomes available. Council Member Glover commented on the suggestion in the letter to West Newport residents that they use the car wash, as one of the ways to improve bay water quality. She stated that some people won't take their cars to the car wash due to the cost. She added that there is a new product on the market that allows an individual to use very little water when washing their • car and she suggested that this be looked into further. Deputy City Manager stated that he would follow -up with the suggestion, and knows that not everyone will stop washing their cars on their own. Volume 53 - Page 124 Wro .1 Water Quality Education Plan (51) • E • City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes December 13, 1999 Motion by Council Member Ridgeway to direct City staff to: 1) mail the memorandum from the Harbor Quality Committee (along with article on "Gull Trouble" and diagram of sign) to West Newport and Newport Island residents; 2) post beach areas currently posted in West Newport with sign; 3) include information similar to that which is on the sign within the City's water bills; and 4) report back to the Harbor Quality Committee and to the City Council on any progress after nine months. Council Member Ridgeway commented that he is Chairman of the Harbor Quality Committee and that at a recent meeting, it was asked how many of the members knew that Newport is a no discharge bay, meaning that soap cannot be used to wash cars when that water would run into the bay. He said that half of the committee answered the question incorrectly and it points to the lack of education on the subject. Charles Griffin, 732 Bison Avenue, stated that the signs should also be posted on the north shore of Balboa Island, where there is also a problem with people feeding the ducks. The motion carried by the following roll call vote Ayes: Adams, Glover, Thomson, Ridgeway, Debay, O'Neil, Mayor Noyes Noes: None Abstain: None Absent: None PUBLIC COMMENTS Tim Quinn, 1326 Hampshire Circle, Newport Dunes Resort, advised the City Council and the public that the Newport Dunes Resort will be hosting a fireworks show on New Year's Eve. He stated that the show will start promptly at midnight and last approximately fifteen minutes. He added that letters will be sent to area residents, as well as the Daily Pilot newspaper. Mayor Noyes stated that the City issued a permit for the fireworks show because of the magnitude of the millennium new year. He also thanked the Newport Dunes Resort for putting on such a spectacular event. Council Member Debay announced that the City of Costa Mesa has approved the sale of safe & sane fireworks for New Year's Eve and the City of Newport Beach should, therefore, anticipate the illegal use of fireworks in Newport Beach. She stated that the Newport Beach Police and Fire Departments will be fully staffed and anticipating such problems. Council Member Glover requested that additional police staffing be provided in her district on New Year's Eve due to its close proximity to both Costa Mesa and the Newport Dunes. Allen Murray, 2330 Port Lerwick Place, stated that he spoke at a City Volume 53 - Page 125 [IN 1]01:1 City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes December 13, 1999 • Council meeting on November 22, 1999, regarding the problems with the Newport Ridge North development. He stated that since that meeting, the Seawind Community has had two meetings with Supervisor Wilson and that the County staff has produced a list of documents that address the area. Mr. Murray stated that the list of documents from the County is inconsistent and incomplete. He said the problem is with the Bonita Canyon EIR that was approved in Irvine and its inconsistency with the aerial map provided by The Irvine Company. He said that there's a problem with the preservation areas. H. Ross Miller, 1627 Bay Cliff Circle, Senior Oasis Center, stated that he was prepared to discuss Item #30 regarding the land use of the Newport Village parcel. He stated that senior housing is needed and that the Bayview Landing site does not provide what the seniors need. Mr. Miller stated that funding for affordable senior housing is available through the State- allocated tax credit system, that a developer of senior housing is also available and that the Newport Village parcel is also still available. He stated that the parcel can support the library project, a park and senior housing. Mr. Miller stated that The Irvine Company believes that the Newport Village parcel is the best site for senior housing. Mayor Noyes stated that an item at the Council's earlier Study Session addressed this same issue (Item #SS3, Update of General Plan Housing Element). He suggested that Mr. Miller might want to obtain a copy of • that staff report as well as the minutes of the meeting. Mr. Miller concluded by stating that the project would involve active seniors and that Newport seniors were told they would be given preference on the parcel. Mr. Miller added that Phil Sansone would be moving from the City this week and made the affordable senior housing issue a pet project of his for the past ten years. Mr. Miller suggested that when, and if, the senior project is completed that it be named Sansone Village, in recognition of all he has done for the City. Council Member Ridgeway stated that Mr. Sansone has contacted him also regarding Newport Village. Council Member Ridgeway stated his support for affordable senior housing at the Newport Village parcel. He added that he incorporated some of Mr. Miller's comments into Item #SS3 at the earlier Study Session. • Carol Hoffman, The Irvine Company, stated that since the Newport Ridge North project has come before the City Council on a number of occasions, she wanted to make some comments. She stated that the project has been underway in a couple jurisdictions for over five years. She added that it has been a complicated project, has received numerous public hearings and the County records are complete. Ms. Hoffman stated that it is the practice of The Irvine Company to follow every regulation, to meet all requirements and to provide quality planned communities. She stated that the Newport Ridge North project has been • no exception. She stated The Irvine Company's regret that some of the current owners were not owners at the time the public hearing notices were mailed. Ms. Hoffman concluded by stating that The Irvine Volume 53 - Page 126 W111 City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes December 13, 1999 • Company will continue to answer questions about the project and remains open to discussion. She added that when a project is being graded, it is always the toughest time to understand it. John Fransen, 2345 Port Carlisle Place, stated that many residents are surprised by the scope of the Newport Ridge North project. He suggested that the project be presented to the City, even though it's not currently a part of Newport Beach, and that it should be clearly understood that a hillside is being leveled. Mr. Fransen does not feel that the County has been able to provide the documents that support the development. City Manager Bludau stated that staff members will be answering a special line on New Year's Eve to answer any questions from the public about Y2K. He further confirmed for Mayor Noyes that extra people would also be on -call. Police Chief McDonell added that the Police Department would be fully staffed, and he knows the Fire Department is providing additional staffing also. He said the Emergency Operations Center will be opened with a limited staff prepared to activate it fully, if necessary. City Manager Bludau added that the Utilities Division will also have staff on duty. • Council Member Ridgeway asked about the local hospital staffing and the availability of emergency rooms. Council Member O'Neil, as a representative of the Hoag Hospital Board of Directors, confirmed that Hoag is Y2K compliant and does not anticipate any inability to provide full medical services. Council Member O'Neil stated his understanding that there are also backup systems in place for water and power service. PUBLIC HEARINGS 24.

THE PACIFIC CLUB - 4110 MACARTHUR BOULEVARD (BROOKE B. BENTLEY, GENERAL MANAGER) - REQUEST TO PERMIT THE PHASED EXPANSION OF AN EXISTING PRIVATE MEMBERSHIP ATHLETIC CLUB. THE PROJECT IS AN EXPANSION OF THE PRIVATE ATHLETIC CLUB BY 15,000 SQUARE FEET TO ACCOMMODATE ADDITIONAL MEMBER SERVING FACILITIES INCLUDING ACCESSORY ATHLETIC, DINING AND SUPPORT USES. Mayor Noyes opened the public hearing. Council Member Ridgeway asked about the parking at the site and if members could bring guests to the facility. He stated his concern that there are currently 168 parking spaces provided. He said that in the written report it indicates that there will only be 144 spaces available after approval of the expansion, but in the plan at the back of the report it indicates that there will be 150 spaces. Planning Director Temple explained that the number in the written report was based on an analysis by the City's Traffic Engineer. Council Member Ridgeway stated that he uses the Club occasionally, as a guest. He said that the parking lot is heavily impacted at noontime, and expressed his concern that the report doesn't address guest events. Council Member Ridgeway stated that the 144 spaces is not adequate. He suggested that the number of guests permitted at the facility be limited and the signage at the parking lot be improved. He stated that the parking is difficult to find.

Planning Director Temple confirmed that the facility does have valet parking during all operating hours, and there is also immediate access to the surrounding parking pool. She stated that this should adequately service the overflow circumstances. Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Adams to adopt Resolution No. 99 -84 approving General Plan Amendment No. 97 -3(E); introduce Ordinance No. 99 -28, an amendment to the Koll Center Planned Community, approving a 15,000 square foot increase of development rights in Office Site "A" of Koll Center Planned Community (Amendment No. 890), and pass to second reading on January 11, 2000; and sustain the action of the Planning Commission and approve the supporting documentation related to the amendment, subject to the findings, conditions and mitigation measures as modified by the Planning Commission: the acceptance of a Negative Declaration, Use Permit No. 3208 Amended, and a Parking Demand Study. Council Member Ridgeway asked if Mayor Pro Tem Adams would amend his motion to include the added requirement for better site signage to the pool parking. Mayor Pro Tem Adams stated that the City should not make this type of requirement of a business on private property. He said he'd be willing to • suggest that they do so, but couldn't require it. There being no public testimony, Mayor Noyes closed the public hearing. Mayor Pro Tem Adams agreed with Council Member Ridgeway that the current signage on the property is confusing. Council Member Ridgeway stated his concern that the pool parking is difficult to find and should be improved. Mayor Pro Tem Adams amended his motion to include that the applicant be asked to meet with the City Traffic Engineer to receive suggestions for improved parking signage on the property.

APPROVAL OF NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR SAN MIGUEL C -3311 DRIVE WIDENING PROJECT (C- 3311). San Miguel Drive Widening Project • Mayor Noyes opened the public hearing.

Volume 53 - Page 129 City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes December 13, 1999 • Motion by Council Member O'Neil to approve the Negative Declaration for the San Miguel Drive Widening Project. The motion carried by the following roll call vote: Ayes: Adams, Glover, Thomson, Debay, Ridgeway, O'Neil, Mayor Noyes Noes: None Abstain: None Absent: None In response to Council Member Ridgeway's question regarding the timing of the project, Transportation/Development Services Manager Edmonston stated that the Public Works Department is working to hire the consultant to design the project. He added that when the design is finished, it will be before the City Council for award of the contract. In addition, he stated that The Irvine Company has not yet dedicated the land for the expansion because the legal description of the exact area is still in the process of being prepared. CURRENT BUSINESS 23. GRANT REQUESTS - CITIZENS FOR JOBS AND THE ECONOMY (CJ &E) ($750,000) AND AIRPORT WORKING GROUP (AWG) • ($500,000). Council Member Glover stated that the subcommittee recommends that these funds be granted. She added that the City Council has been very thoughtful in how these types of funds have been granted and will continue to be so. She said the City Council is very concerned about being prudent with these expenditures, while trying to maintain the current John Wayne restrictions and achieve a new airport at El Toro. She stated that the subcommittee supports a dual airport system. Council Member Glover added that all of the expenditures will be audited on a monthly basis to insure that they are being spent in the best possible way. She said the total spent to date by the City is approximately $2 million, which is well below what those who oppose an airport at El Toro are spending. Council Member Glover concluded by stating that AWG has been a longtime working group in the City and has provided leadership for the airport effort. Mayor Pro Tem Adams stated his agreement with Council Member Glover's comments. He stated that during the fiscal year 1999 -2000 budget process, the subcommittee developed a comprehensive plan for addressing the airport issue and budgeted over $1 million for the various organizations to disseminate information to the community and the County. He added, however, that with the escalation of funding by the groups that oppose the • airport, he is convinced that the additional money being asked for at the current meeting needs to be spent. He stated his initial concern about where this additional money would come from, and said that staff was directed to Volume 53 - Page 130 INDEX CJ &E AWG El Toro Airport Grant Requests (54) City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes December 13, 1999 • review alternative sources other than reserves. City Manager Bludau reported that staff is recommending that the $1.25 million come from a combination of sources. Specifically, he said the recommendation is to use $450,000 in anticipated bankruptcy recovery disbursements, $450,000 from revenues above what was anticipated when the current budget was adopted and $350,000 from department reductions in the current fiscal year General Fund. Mayor Noyes stated that this issue is a quality of life issue, and people need to realize that the City must get its revenue from somewhere. He stated that the City only gets 15% of the property taxes paid by its residents, and needs to rely on commercial development, hotels and retail for additional revenue sources. He stated that revenues are needed to protect the City's quality of life. Council Member O'Neil stated that the grant program is a system created by the City Council at a time when nearly the same amount of money was being spent on a consultant team. He stated that the City Council decided that it was better to support the various pro - airport groups and although the amount of money being spent is large, it is going to mailings and work products, not salaries. Council Member O'Neil stated that these groups support a dual - airport system, with John Wayne Airport remaining the size it is and El Toro being about twice the size. • Tom Naughton, President AWG, thanked the City Council for their support. He stated that AWG works with a lot of volunteers and he appreciates what the communities are doing in support of the pro - airport effort. He also encouraged the audit and believes the City should know where its money is being spent. Mayor Noyes thanked Mr. Naughton for his efforts. He added that AWG also does fundraising of its own and does not rely on the City for all of its funding. Mr. Naughton confirmed the support of many individuals. Charles Griffin, 732 Bison Avenue, encouraged the City Council to approve the grant requests and agreed that the audits were important. He suggested that the products produced also be reviewed by the City Council. He stated that the plan supported by the County isn't necessarily the appropriate plan for the proposed airport runways. Russ Niewiarowski, 20102 Kline Drive, presented a cartoon that he said he planned to share with Irvine the following day. He said that everyone needs to carry their share of the responsibility, including Irvine, and that he and Mr. Griffin have created a safer and quieter airport for El Toro. Tom Anderson, 1620 Skylark Lane, thanked the City Council for their support of these organizations and for keeping current on the issues. He stated that he recently attended a Costa Mesa City Council meeting and was • shocked by the level of ignorance on the topic. He stated that the need is there to educate the neighboring cities and now is the time to keep going. Volume 53 - Page 131 INDEX • • City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes December 13, 1999 Mayor Noyes recognized Council Members Glover and O'Neil, and Mayor Pro Tem Adams for the extra time they've spent on the airport issue. Council Member Glover stated that the City Council is fully committed to making sure that an airport at El Toro happens. She agreed that the airport issue is the #1 quality of life issue in Newport Beach. Motion by Council Member Glover to approve the grants in accordance with recommendations in the report and subject to the terms and conditions in the existing grant agreements and activity guidelines, with $350,000 of the total coming from a reduction in the General Fund expenditures during the remainder of the fiscal year, $450,000 in bankruptcy recovery and $450,000 in anticipated General Fund revenue in excess of original estimates. The motion carried by the following roll call vote Ayes: Adams, Glover, Thomson, Debay, Ridgeway, O'Neil, Mayor Noyes Noes: None Abstain: None Absent: None 29. EL TORO REUSE PLANNING PROCESS - RESOLUTION SUPPORTING A COMMUNITY FRIENDLY AIRPORT. Mayor Pro Tem Adams as the City Council representative to the Orange County Regional Airport Authority ( OCRAA), stated that on November 10, 1999, the OCRAA Board of Directors approved a resolution supporting a community - friendly commercial aviation reuse of El Toro. He said the resolution was adopted by the Board in response to comments made by Supervisor Coad. Mayor Pro Tem Adams stated his belief that the City of Newport Beach must take the lead among the OCRAA member cities, which total fifteen, in supporting Supervisor Coad's plan and adopting a similar resolution. Mayor Pro Tem Adams stated that the resolution, if adopted, does more than just express the support for a commercial airport at El Toro or the opposition to any expansion at John Wayne Airport. He stated that the resolution supports a fair and sensible approach to meeting ground and air transportation needs. He said the approach has four main components which include 1) that John Wayne Airport would continue to function as it currently does, 2) E1 Toro would be designated to serve eighteen million passengers a year, with the initial phase designed to serve eight million passengers a year, 3) E1 Toro would be designated for aircraft that serve domestic markets and Canada, Mexico and Central America, and 4) El Toro would be subject to nighttime noise restrictions similar to those used at John Wayne Airport. Mayor Pro Tem Adams stated that the approach would establish parody • between the communities around El Toro and the communities around John Wayne Airport. He stated that the number of departures off each of the two proposed El Toro runways equals the number that departs from John Volume 53 - Page 132 INDEX Res 99 -85 El Toro Airport (54) • City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes December 13, 1999 IQ111 :1 Wayne. He said that John Wayne would continue to handle a large number of aviation departures. Mayor Pro Tem Adams stated that the City of Newport Beach has never advocated the closure of John Wayne Airport and is content to share the burden of the County's growing air transportation demand. He stated that South County, where most of the growth in Orange County is happening, should also be able to accept their share. Mayor Pro Tern Adams concluded by stating that John Wayne Airport provides a valuable service to the traveling public and the business community, and is operated in a friendly manner by the County. He said the same would be true of an airport at El Toro. He stated that approval of the resolution should prove that Newport Beach is trying to be fair, and is only asking South County to accept what the other parts of the County have had to accept for years. Council Member Glover as the City Council alternate to OCRAA, stated her support for Mayor Pro Tern Adams comments and, referring to his previous comments, said that the resolution will be adopted by each of the fifteen OCRAA- member cities. She stated that she is proud of the rational approach that the Newport Beach community has taken. Council Member Glover stated that the approach outlined in the resolution is fair in terms of sharing the impacts of air transportation. She said the County has also included open and recreational areas in the plan, and they • will include a golf course, a nature reserve, a wildlife corridor, and connections to a sports center, an equestrian center and softball fields. Council Member Glover stated that Orange County currently exports twelve million passengers per year and all of its cargo. She stated that the demand for air transportation will continue to grow, as will the drive time to Los Angeles International (LAX) and Ontario airports. She said that El Toro is essential to the County's economic vitality. She stated that the economic opportunities created by an airport at El Toro will generate the tax revenues needed to increase vital services. Council Member Glover concluded by stating that airports are financed through revenue bonds, which are repaid solely from monies generated by passengers, air cargo, and other airport issues and uses. She said the airport and park plan that this resolution supports will not cost the taxpayers and will help finance municipal services. Council Member Debay expressed the support of the City Council for a two - airport system and in encouraging South County to take their fair share. She feels that it is important to reach those that are undecided in South County and to show integrity in the outreach. She said that an honorable intent will be repaid with a positive response. Council Member Debay added that the help of the people near LAX is welcomed. She stated that they are working to make sure that they are not further impacted by the demand created in other counties. • Council Member Debay commented on the cartoon shown earlier in the meeting by Mr. Niewiarowski and stated her concern for the response that Volume 53 - Page 133 • J City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes December 13, 1999 would be received from such a negative approach. She encouraged Mr. Niewiarowski to rethink his distribution of such a piece. Charles Griffin, 732 Bison Avenue, complimented the comments made by the City Council but feels that the flight paths should be addressed. He stated that an FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) internal document, written by the Chairman of the Southern California Traffic Control Division, stated that the largely ignored V -plan utilizes the existing north -south runway and a new runway that faces a large area of open space. Mr. Griffin stated that he doesn't understand why the South County residents should be asked to bear unnecessary noise when the V -plan would eliminate the flights from the east -west runway. Mayor Pro Tern Adams informed Mr. Griffin that the proposed resolution does not address runway orientations or direction, and wouldn't preclude the V -plan advocated by Mr. Griffin. Mayor Pro Tern Adams further stated that the City Council is not designing the airport. Russ Niewiarowski, 20102 Kline Drive, stated that he will take Council Member Debay's earlier comments into consideration, but he feels that the cartoon is factual and does make a point. He said that future needs, both short -term and long -term, must be taken into consideration when designing the proposed airport at E1 Toro and deciding on runway direction, flight curfews, capacity restrictions and preferential flight paths. He stated that the fullest use of El Toro should be planned for. Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Adams to adopt Resolution No. 99 -85 and direct staff to transmit a copy to OCRAA and the Board of Supervisors.
