Mayor Pro Tem Avery read the proclamation and, along with Mayor O'Neill, presented it to
Laird Hayes. Mr. Hayes thanked his wife, Maggie, and his family for their support, and
highlighted how he became involved with the City and other organizations.
Council Member Duffield remarked that Mr. Hayes is a perfect example of a City volunteer.
SS4. Presentation from the Banning Ranch Conservancy
Dr. Terry Welsh, President of the Banning Ranch Conservancy, utilized a presentation to
discuss the importance of Banning Ranch, reasons for wanting to maintain it as open space, the
desire to acquire Banning Ranch, the Conservancy's mission, and the Randalls' $50 million
donation. He asked the City to marshal its resources to support the effort to find the remainder
of the money to purchase Banning Ranch and noted that The Trust for Public Land is also asking
the City to support the process.
Suzanne Forster, Vice President of the Banning Ranch Conservancy, displayed a view of
Banning Ranch from her house, shared statistics about the area, believed that a coastal park
and nature preserve at Banning Ranch would bring joy to a lot of people, discussed potential
uses for Banning Ranch, and provided the background and future of Banning Ranch.
Steve Ray thanked City Manager Leung and staff for their assistance and acknowledged
Michael Mohler, one of the Banning Ranch owners. Using a presentation, Mr. Ray detailed the
Conservancy's mission to preserve, acquire, conserve, and manage Banning Ranch, the plan to
develop the Orange Coast River Park, and the Banning Ranch concept plan.
In response to Mayor O'Neill's questions, Mr. Ray stated the Conservancy's goal is to preserve
Banning Ranch as open space, but State agencies who provide grants may have other ideas. He
added that, a few years ago, the City Council wrote a letter in support of providing Measure M
funding to Banning Ranch and indicated the Conservancy would like the same type of support
from the current Council. Mayor O'Neill noted that preserving Banning Ranch as open space
would be great if the City could receive a substantial reduction in its Regional Housing Needs
Assessment (RHNA) housing count.

Council Member Brenner congratulated the Conservancy for its work and commended the
volunteers who work on the effort.
Mr. Ray stated there were more than 4,000 volunteers involved with saving Banning Ranch and
indicated that the Conservancy would be happy to work with the City to find other options for
fulfilling the RHNA requirement.
Allan Beek, Secretary of Stop Polluting Our Newport (SPON), indicated he was optimistic that
SPON would succeed in having Banning Ranch shown as open space in the upcoming Land Use
Element.
Jim Mosher believed that Banning Ranch is unincorporated County land that is within the
City's sphere of influence, was not considered in the City's RHNA requirement, and the City
probably cannot take credit for any housing planned in Banning Ranch.
Terry Koken stated the City needs cheap places for the homeless to live rather than affordable
housing, and expressed hope that a compromise can be reached.
Patricia Martz, President of the California Cultural Resources Preservation Alliance, expressed
opposition to any development within Banning Ranch and supported the plan to purchase and
preserve Banning Ranch.
Kathleen Andrews believed Banning Ranch could be preserved as open space and that the City
could accomplish its housing requirement without Banning Ranch.
Council Member Muldoon pointed out that Banning Ranch is owned by a private entity and
expressed that property rights of private individuals are very important for society.

XIX. CURRENT BUSINESS
18. Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Permanent Supportive Housing Project [100-20191
Assistant City Manager Jacobs utilized a presentation to define permanent supportive housing,
share examples of permanent supportive housing, discuss the RFQ, explain the desired experience
of a housing developer and the City's financial contribution, and list requested actions.
In response to Council questions, City Manager Leung and City Attorney Harp explained that, in
order to enforce the City's anti -camping laws, the City would need to provide temporary, short-term
housing, reported that permanent supportive housing is a longer-term and hopefully permanent
solution for homeless people and is not a State mandate but a component of a holistic solution,
confirmed that staff can talk with Hoag Hospital about using funds from the development agreement
for this, indicated that staff is looking into other funding sources, reported that the Housing Trust
Fund is specifically for permanent supportive housing, not for shelter, and noted that this is where
an experienced housing developer can assist with the assembling of financing.
Council Member Muldoon indicated he would rather see permanent supportive housing done with
private property, possibly without a development agreement but with affordable housing revenues
and State services and grants, and that the City not spend the money it has set aside on a project
like this. However, he expressed support for the item with conditions.
Mayor Pro Tem Avery believed the City cannot do this alone and a town like Newport Beach should
get behind a project for people who are less fortunate; noted experts have pointed to permanent
supportive housing as an important solution for making a significant difference; emphasized that
every city has an obligation to provide housing; noted that a 50 to 60 unit building would also provide
services and assistance; believed the City should try to provide the property; and expressed support
for the item.
Mayor O'Neill believed the primary focus of permanent supportive housing should be seniors with
a secondary focus on families and veterans, the total funding commitment should be $3 million
($1.5 million from affordable housing and temporary shelter funds and $1.5 million from the Hoag
Hospital funds), and the RFQ should reference that, if additional funds are needed from the City,
the developer needs to include why they need more money.

Q
►"I
Jim Mosher asked if the City would acquire any ownership interest in the enterprise or any
protection for its investment. Mayor O'Neill believed that the answer would be part of the packages
received from the developer.
Motion by Mayor O'Neill, seconded by Council Member Brenner, to a) determine this action
is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2)
and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because this action will not result in a physical change to
the environment, directly or indirectly; and b) authorize the City Manager to prepare and release a
Request for Qualifications for a Permanent Supportive Housing Developer in the City of Newport
Beach, with the primary focus being seniors, the secondary focus being on families and veterans, cap
the City's total commitment at $3 million, and if more money is requested, the developer needs to
explain why they need more money.
With Council Member Dixon absent, the motion carried 6-0.
