BJ Johnson, Corona del Mar Resident Association, stated that their website and email
address receives a lot of feedback about community concerns and hoped that it could also
assist the City in getting out information.

Council and discussed her confusion about the timeline for this project. She believed that
the Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis and the Queuing reports should be recirculated with the
other documentation.
Tom Billings believed that the Mariners Mile Gateway Project will create environmental
impacts to the community and discussed the project.
At Mayor Heffernan's request, Assistant City Manager Wood described the Mariners Mile
Gateway Project, and indicated that it goes before the Planning Commission on December 8,
doesn't automatically come before Council since it's consistent with the General Plan and
Zoning Code, and is subject to appeal by Council. Public Works Director Badum added that
the traffic signal and street improvements are under Caltrans' purview, but they may take
the City's concerns under consideration.
Paul Glowienke announced that the Corona del Mar Christmas Walk will be on December 4
and they've scheduled December 11 as the rain date, if necessary.

M CONTINUED BUSINESS
15. BUILDING COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL AS
TO WHAT ACTIONS TO TAKE REGARDING THE CIVIC CENTER
PROJECT. [351700 -20051
City Manager Bludau summarized the Building Committee report. He highlighted
page 5 of his staff report which indicates that, in order to get a $48 million loan, the
finance advisor requires the City to borrow $52.5 million which is based on selling
Certificates of Participations (COPs) in the current market with an interest rate of
about 4.94 %.
Rick D'Amato, LPA Associates, utilized a PowerPoint presentation and reviewed the
site design, floor plan, aesthetics of the building, and environmental design. Roger
Torriero, Griffin Structures, noted that 40% of the five acres is open space. He
reported on the budget estimate of $47,980,286 which represents $20 /sq. ft. for
onsite improvements, $395/sq. ft. for the fire station with $10 /sq. ft. for Furniture,
Fixtures, and Equipment (FF &E), $16,900 /stall for the parking structure, $325/sq.
ft. for the City Hall, Council Chambers, and Community Room with $22 /sq. ft. for
FF &E, and 21% for indirect costs. He reported that the presentations from the
Town Hall meetings and City Council meetings, and documentation are available on
the City's website. He clarified that the design is in great detail but is not biddable
since they were directed to only complete the drawings to 20 %.
City Manager Bludau noted that, if construction took place on the current site,
relocation costs and the financing package and costs have not been included in the
estimate since it was not Mr. Torriero's responsibility. Mr. Torriero displayed a
spreadsheet of potential City- incurred costs that totaled $2,250,000. He confirmed
that his price includes the cost of completing the drawings to occupancy.
Council Member Ridgeway, Building Committee member, noted that he did not
agree with the Building Committee's conclusion, and believed that, in the end, the
current site will be chosen again since it is a historical site. He noted that rezoning
the current site and using any site in the Fashion Island area will require
a Greenlight vote. He expressed the opinion that a new City Hall, fire station, and
parking structure are needed, the City can afford it without impairing other capital
improvement projects, the employees deserve a safer workplace, and the citizens
deserve the building that was designed. 0

isMotion by Council Member Ridgeway to move forward with full working
drawings, locate the property for relocation, and go out to the market for a
Certificate of Participation (COP).
Mayor Pro Tern Webb, Building Committee member, stated that questions relative
to the location of City Hall keep arising and that the City needs to document
alternative locations with the assistance of people in that field for possible
ownership and to possibly move it to be more geographically central. He agreed
that there is a need for a new City Hall and the City has substantial reserves, but
believed that a better list needs to be generated of the major infrastructure needs to
make sure that the City can afford improvements in the future. He added that, if
the City moves forward, it should bid the project in the normal manner.
Substitute motion by Mayor Pro Tem Webb to 1) accept the Griffin Structures
design development contract as fulfilled; 2) form a City Hall Site Review Committee
composed of from 7 -10 residents and two City Council ad hoc members to identify
and assess potential sites within the community for a city hall, and submit a written
report to the City Council with recommendations as to the best site or sites for a
City Hall. The committee should be open to anyone willing to serve, but it should be
desirable that the committee's makeup include residents who are knowledgeable
about real estate and real estate conditions in Newport Beach; 3) form a Facilities
Finance Review Committee composed of from 7 -10 residents and two City Council ad
hoc members to review the 15 future facility needs of the City and assess the City's
ability to best pay for those facilities. The committee should make recommendations
to the City Council as to how best to plan to finance these needs. The committee
• should be open to anyone willing to serve, but it would be desirable that the
committee contain some residents who are knowledgeable regarding the financing of
major improvements or projects; 4) the Building Committee recommends these
committee be advertised and appointments be made at the January 10, 2006
meeting, with the intent the committees report back their findings no later than
June 15, 2006. The Committee recognizes these two committees would require
substantial staff support; however, it thinks this work is of a priority that staff
needs to be made available so the deadlines for the committees can be met.
Council Member Nichols agreed that there are problems with the location,
particularly with traffic and potential natural disasters, and suggested looking at
the property above the Central Library and not use it as a park. He stated that he is
not against having a new City Hall, but believed that another location would save
relocation costs.
In response to Mayor Heffernan's questions, Mr. Torriero indicated that, in the last
three years, construction costs have gone up 15% to 20% each year. However, he
stated that he can guarantee his estimate if the project starts in June.
Edward Lyon offered his services in this process. He expressed support for creating
the committees using qualified residents, expressed concern with having debt when
the money can be used for other projects, and expressed support for the substitute
motion.
James Turner expressed support for moving forward because it's a good time to
finance the project; however, he took issue with the location since it's vulnerable to
. natural disasters.

City Council Minutes
November 22, 2005
Beverly Johnson, Corona del Mar Residents Association, reported that the board
unanimously agreed that the City needs a new City Hall.
Craig Roger believed that the City can't proceed or get a true cost estimate without a
full set of plans. He expressed concern that change orders could occur.
Doug Dreyer stated that he is in favor of a new City Hall, but noted that the citizens
are not allowed to vote on this project. He requested that COPS, bonds, and other
forms of financing be explained to the citizenry.
Paul Glowienke believed that the City desperately needs a new City Hall and
emphasized that the cost estimate is a good number if the project starts in June. He
suggested that the City move forward because interest rates are rising and
expressed support for Council Member Ridgeway's motion.
Dolores Otting asked if the committee meetings will be open to the public and
suggested having architects from the community on the committee. She also asked
what the City's good faith effort was to get word out to the public. She noted that
the property tax revenue doesn't cover the City's budget. She discussed her
attempts to get documents from the Public Works Department relative to this
project and the Town Hall meeting relative to possible disasters in this area.
City Manager Bludau discussed the Saturday Town Hall meeting, Mr. Torriero's
contract, and the cost of the project. City Attorney Clauson responded to Ms.
Otting's concerns relative to documents from the Public Works Department.
Garrett Smith, architect, disagreed with using the current location for the new City
Hall and noted that the City can have any property through eminent domain. He
noted that this property is worth a lot of money and expressed his support for a new
City Hall and Mayor Pro Tem Webb's substitute motion.
James Warren expressed support for the revised rendering. He believed that the
citizens are willing to approve a bond issue since they approved the school's bond
issue. He stated that he has never had a problem getting to City Hall but moving it
will increase traffic in that area. He expressed support for a new City Hall and
Council Member Ridgeway's motion.
Mayor Heffernan recessed the meeting at 10:02 p.m. and reconvened the
meeting at 10:15 p.m. with all members of Council present.
Kevin Weeda believed that it is less likely that there is an alternative site, except for
Irvine Company land. Further, the City Hall should remain on the Peninsula in
order for the Peninsula to prosper. He stated that the new City Hall will greatly
increase efficiencies, especially with the One Stop Shop, and having a green building
is an added bonus. He expressed his support for the project and urged Council to
also support it. He volunteered his services on the committees.
Tom Billings expressed support for the substitute motion and suggested starting
from square -one. He believed that the attendance decline at the Town Hall
meetings was due to some of the questions that Council is now asking. He suggested
that the committees have a balance of architects, historians, and citizens.
Val Skoro stated that he is in favor of updating City Hall, but to take our time and
do it right. He expressed support for the substitute motion. He suggested having

Isarchitects compete for the design of the building as part of the City's Centennial.
Barbara Rawlings stated that public outreach is frustrating because people feel they
are not heard. She expressed support for the substitute motion.
Joe O'Hora indicated that he disagrees with the process, not the product, and took
issue with using COPS and how Council vacancies were filled. He agreed with
forming the committees.
Wallace Olson suggested not building on the current site due to construction and
insurance costs and the cost for two moves. He noted that City Hall should be
readily accessible to all residents and a classic structure. He expressed support for
the substitute motion and to set goals that, if not achieved, the City should extend
the deadline. He read Council Member Daigle's quote from the Daily Pilot.
Gary Eschmeroder recommended bidding the project out and not doing a design -
build. He questioned using COPs and agreed with exploring other location
alternatives. He agreed with the Building Committee's recommendations and
discussed the initiative effort.
Ray Price expressed his support for the substitute motion and the need for a new
City Hall. However, he believed that the City Hall should be in the center of the
community at Newport Center and that the current site should be planned out. He
expressed concern that the structure doesn't have a sense of community and might
not pass the test of time. Further, he has concerns with the design -build process.
. John Buttolph, Newporters for Responsible Government, expressed support for the
Building Committee's recommendations. He suggested considering other sites
and designs, and to look at how the cost of this project could affect future facility
needs. He believed that Greenlight supporters will support a well planned
redevelopment of this property if it fits in with the neighborhood's character.
Jan Vandersloot expressed his support of the substitute motion, but emphasized
that the new City Hall cannot be considered above the Central Library because it is
dedicated open space land. He agreed that this site is a good location for City Hall
and believed that it should be on the National Registry of Historical Places. He
suggested keeping the green open space, the rose garden, and the remaining trees,
but consider a building envelope similar to today's footprint. He suggested letting
the people vote on this project.
W.R. Dildine questioned the legality of the design -build process.
Steve Gaffney agreed with Council Member Ridgeway that waiting would cost more
money. He agreed that a new facility is needed and noted that Griffin Structures
will guarantee the price so there will be no change orders.
John Nelson noted that alternative locations have already been explored. He
believed that Greenlight supporters will not vote to rezone this location and that the
COP initiative is an attack on representative government. He noted that the
current City Hall is undersized and expressed support for Council Member
Ridgeway's motion.
. Council Member Ridgeway reported that studies have been conducted and there
is no liquefaction at this site. Further, a majority of the 3,000 visitors a day to City

Hall are residents who will not create traffic on Newport Boulevard. He expressed
the opinion that this is about good fiscal judgment and public safety. He pointed out
that the current building is inefficient. He supported moving quickly if this was
going to committees.
Council Member Selich stated that the things they're asking the two committees to
do, are questions he has. Further, he would feel more comfortable making a decision
if there was documentation about the conclusion, noting that it will add credibility to
what Council decides. He stated that it is unusual not to have professional members
of the community on the Building Committee.
Council Member Rosansky emphasized that everyone agrees we need this and noted
that the location was discussed at several meetings and decided two years ago. He
noted that buying another property will take more money. He agreed that the
design may be the weakest point and reminded everyone that, by using COPS, the
bond issue will not go on the residents' tax bill. He reported that the City is fiscally
conservative. He believed that the committees will ultimately go back to the same
decision in six months. He added that the City has addressed its obligation to
inform the community and recommended that Council make a decision.
Council Member Nichols noted that a lot of people work outside City Hall and
believed that the City can do a better job of where it staffs personnel. He expressed
the opinion that Greenlight won't stop the rezoning of this site and that the design
needs to be looked at more. He stated that he supports the substitute motion.
Council Member Daigle believed that the City needs to invest more people in this
project. She stated that she supports Mayor Pro Tem Webb's substitute motion. She
noted that the General Plan process conducted an attitude survey and suggested the
City do some type of polling on this issue. She reported that the City does need a
new City Hall that functions like a public building.
Amended motion by Council. Member Daigle to include conducting an attitude
survey on this issue.
The motion died for lack of a second.
Mayor Heffernan predicted that, if this goes to a committee, the City Hall will never
get built. Further, the City Hall will probably never be built someplace else due to
the cost. He recommended generating a 15 year capital improvement report and
suggested giving the committees a three month time limit and not start from square -
one.
City Manager Bludau suggested that the Building Committee meet and then make a
recommendation to Council at its next meeting relative to the duties of the
committees so it can be advertised.
Amended motion by Mayor, Pro Tern Webb to have the committees report back
with their findings no later than May 1, 2006, instead of June 15, 2006.
The amended motion carried by the following roll call vote:
