Home My WebLink About15 - Covid-19 Update - CorrespondenceCameo Community Association April 22, 2020 Grace Leung, City Manager City of Newport Beach 100 Civic Center Drive, 2nd Floor, Bay E Newport Beach, CA 92660 Re: Parking & Security in Cameo Shores and Cameo Highlands Dear Ms. Leung: Received After Agenda Printed April 28, 2020 Item No. 15 I am contacting you on behalf of the Cameo Community Association. During this difficult time, our residents have been unable to heed the shelter -in-place advisory without an extremely heightened concern for health, safety and the security of their homes. Since the closures of public parks, facilities and parking lots, non-residents have flocked to our neighborhood in unprecedented numbers to access trails and beaches and to utilize our private parks for their own recreation. These individuals show little regard for the people who live in this community when picnicking in our parks, walking their dogs on our grass, leaving trash in our parkways, utilizing our streets and driveways to park or turnaround, and illegally accessing Crystal Cove Beach by tampering with our fence or gate entries. As a result of the misuse by those trespassers, our rights to access Crystal Cove from Cameo have been temporarily shut, a privilege that many of our residents have relied on as part of their daily physical or mental health routine and certainly were taking solace in since Covid-19 restrictions were put in place. The Association acknowledges that the streets themselves are public, but we have never experienced the volume and types of usage that we are now witnessing, nor the disregard for the property in our neighborhood which is clearly labeled for private use or entry. City and State closures have altered the public facilities access points, driving people into residential neighborhoods and making it unsafe, for our residents to so much as go outside for a walk or take their children to the private park or beach that their dues pay for. The overriding concern, however, is the incidents of crime in Cameo and the Village over the last six weeks, and the increasing threat of burglary, which was already attempted in one neighborhood home this month. Our very diligent Police Department has tirelessly warned neighborhood watch groups of "crimes of opportunity" which occur in peak numbers when non-residents descend on our neighborhoods to enjoy free parking for their day at the beach. Surely, there must be some accountability for the alteration of access to public amenities which has resulted in Cameo residents becoming particularly vulnerable at time when safety and security is of paramount importance. 9060 Irvine Center Drive, Ste. 200 Irvine, CA 92618 Phone: (949)716-3998 • Fax: (949)716-3999 Managed by PowerStone Property Management The Association is very appreciative of the placement of "social distancing" signage in our neighborhood by City staff. Unfortunately, the signs have been ineffective in reducing the number of non-resident vehicles, cyclists, runner and pet -owners utilizing our neighborhood streets, sidewalks and parks, effectively rendering these basic amenities limited to our rule -abiding, taxpaying residents. As more people learn to utilize our neighborhood as their personal playgrounds, our residents are concerned that these closures will create a habitual problem that will not cease, even after access to public facilities has been restored, if preventative measures are not put in place soon. The effect of City and State closures has left Cameo as one of the only remaining options for public recreation for those who have already demonstrated a lack of respect for the law and an inability to adhere to the Covid-19 guidelines. Our Association is unfairly burdened with the liability should accident or injury result from the use or misuse of our park and beach access by these individuals, who would never have been in our neighborhood if not for City facility closures. If the intent of the closures is to restrict this type of behavior, then the City must evenly and consistently enforce these temporary restrictions, citywide, for the protection of our residents and the preservation of our neighborhoods. It seems that the City has been willing to take certain steps to selectively limit unwanted activity on the Peninsula, at the Wedge, Goldenrod Footbridge, Buck Gully Trail and even banned Short -Term lodging. Cameo is only asking that our neighborhood be given the same consideration and deference. As such, unless the City can indemnify the Association, we are simply asking that the City implement the same measures for Cameo that have been put in place in public playgrounds and beach areas throughout the City. The Association requests that the City immediately 1) erect temporary "no -parking" signage along our neighborhood streets, particularly those at the entry to the community including, Hampden Road, Cameo Shores Road and Roxbury Road; 2) enlist parking enforcement to monitor these streets for violations; 3) increase police presence in the neighborhood with regular patrol throughout the day and night. I am available should you wish to discuss the matter further. Thank you in advance for your time and dedication to addressing our residents' concerns.

Dear City Council Members, I understand that you meet this Tuesday evening. I would appreciate your consideration of the following. The intersection at Bayside and Jamboree, with its current limits on lanes, is a serious accident in the making. In the last week, I have driven through that intersection at least once a day. Multiple cars are choosing to go straight on the left arrow. Second problem/question: The "funnel" the city has created on the walkway at Ocean Ave actually pushes people closer together. I am not understanding why the city would not allow space for people to spread out - without forcing them to spread into the street. Of course, I also question why adults are being treated as children. If one is to trust the ever changing IHME models, today is California's peak. It is time to remove all the cones and tape, frankly a flawed decision to begin with.

Hello, I understand there is a possibility that the counsel is considering closing the bay to recreational boating. This is not a good idea. Most boaters use their vessels with family. Eliminating this source of recreation is unnecessary. Boaters pay a lot of money for moorings, docking and maintenance of their boats. Please keep the bay open!

My husband, Bradley and I along with our 3 young children live in Newport Beach. I have been a resident since 2000 and can never imagine calling another place home. We are also small business owners. My husband is the director of a swimming and water polo club, SET and founder and owner of KAP7 International Inc., a water polo equipment and apparel company. As you can imagine this has had an incredibly negative impact on our business and lives. This should be our busiest time, but with no sports, no Olympics, etc., the club revenue is zero and KAP7 is down over 50%, and it is just in 6 weeks. I am a transactional real estate attorney, who left big law and in-house roles to bean outside counsel/solo. My clients have also pulled way back. I am writing to all of you in an effort to appeal to your sense of reason, and encourage you to continue the legacy of leading in the face of adversity. Newport Beach got some bad press over the weekend, and the Governor is viewing it as non-compliance. He is taking this opportunity to use Newport as an example of what will happen if we question his motives and put the interests of our residents ahead of political agendas. Do not allow him to silence us or quell any forward progress. People went to the beach because they "needed" to, not because Newport is irresponsible or because Newport is trying to harm people but because we understand, we are not meant to be on lockdown with no end in sight. If they bothered to go to the beach, they would have observed people respecting the social distancing guidelines, as evidenced by the statements of the lifeguards patrolling the beaches... If we have learned anything through this crisis it is how to stay safe and keep others safe. I agree that some of the social distancing and staying at home probably contributed to reducing the speed at which the virus has spread. But, we are 6 weeks in, and the devastation to our economy, mental health, and personal freedoms far outweighs the continued "threat" of a health crisis. The Governor has not been able to justify keeping us as prisoners. Fear is not a reason to trample liberties, fear is used to exercise control, control over thought, speech and movement. I know you are in a difficult position because you are afraid that people will get sick, well the truth is some people will get sick, but that is with any virus. I do not believe anyone who is predisposed to getting very ill truly wants everyone else to continue to sacrifice their personal wellbeing and the wellbeing of their children. My 4 year old asked me with tears in her eyes, when she will be able to see her friends and hug them again... We have been stepping up as a community to care for those who truly should not be out of their homes during this time and these acts of kindness have been inspiring. 1 While some people have gotten sick, and some lives have been lost, which I am very sad about, the truth is this, the numbers are not anywhere close to what was projected, and there are several studies now showing California had developed herd immunity. I am not writing to get into a medical debate, I am writing to report facts. The facts are this, businesses cannot survive without customer base, so all the bailouts are not going to solve things long-term, children are not graduating, playing sports, getting the interaction they need from a developmental perspective, people are getting hurt, domestic violence is up over 25%, unemployment is over 20 million people, hospitals are losing money, laying off staff, delaying vital surgeries, all while "waiting" for. . .. I am not sure what we are even waiting for anymore. Waiting for a Governor to decide he will let us live our lives? Waiting for him to allow us in Newport Beach to exercise prudence on an individual level? Waiting for him to allow me to buy more than 2 cartons of milk for my 3 kids...? This is the time to lead, it is no longer the time to follow. Being a leader is scary, and in the moment may be unpopular with the status quo but ultimately it is needed, and in the end you will be doing your job, the job you were elected to do, protect and serve your residents by standing up and asking questions and notjust accepting what someone else is thrusting upon you. It is time to reopen, reopen intelligently and cautiously, allowing kids to go to school in smaller groups, staggered times, people to visit restaurants, people to go back to work provided businesses have safety protocols in place, some sports that by their nature lend themselves to being socially distant, to resume, etc. What you do now will set the precedent for what happens in the future should this happen again. I believe in all of you, and know you will do the right thing and push forward with sound judgment through the fear. With gratitude, Antonella Antonella A. Castro, Esq.

Dear Newport Beach City Council As a citizen of Newport Beach and Orange County it is really important to understand what is happening to our economy and how we are responding to COVIDI9. Each additional day is even more critical than the initial days of the crisis for our economy and our citizens. Our leaders need to hear this perspective. Below is a letter I would like you to consider as you are making policy decisions tomorrow. To Whom It May Concern, I am a citizen and as a business owner with over 330 employees in the state of California, including Orange County. Additionally, I have 47 businesses that are tenants who lease space in our properties, so I have had the opportunity to understand both, as a business owner that has been shut down and as a landlord with other businesses that have been shut down in our centers. At the start of the outbreak, we took quick and decisive measures as a state to shut down non-essential businesses on March 19th. This was the right thing to do, although very difficult for many families, children and individuals. It has now been 39 days and in Orange County we have had tragically 39 deaths from COVIDI9. In Orange County, every year we have approximately 21,300 deaths (according to the Coroner Division Annual Report in 2018) from all causes or approximately 58 deaths per day. In a typical year, 2,262 people would have died from all causes since the start of the shutdown. When you break these numbers down further, COVID 19 has caused approximately 1 out of every 58 deaths per day that we have had in Orange County or 1.7% of the death toll since we started the shutdown. Due to HIPPA laws, we do not know how many of these individuals had pre-existing conditions, but by most reports the death rate is highest in individuals with pre-existing conditions and citizens over 80 years of age. All of this points to a fairly minimal public health risk when you compare it to the total and complete devastation that is happening to our businesses. Instead of looking at COVIDI9 in isolation, as if it was the only cause of death (which we know it is not), we need to take a step back and look at everything in relative terms. At this point, we are fortunate to have an exceptionally low COVID case count Orange County and only 158 hospitalizations. On a relative basis, we are not going to substantially improve from where we are and we have tremendous hospital capacity to deal with it, if it goes a different direction. However, each day is critical for our businesses that are out of money and facing bills that they cannot pay. To give you an analogy; imagine if someone is drowning off of the beach. The initial seconds when they get in trouble are important but not as important as the last few seconds before they go under water and become unconscious and the only way for them to live is to resuscitate them. We are in the last few critical seconds of survival for our businesses. We have forced businesses owners to burn through just about all of their reserves and they will still need some capital to restock inventories, rehire, remarket, etc. We cannot afford to continue this lock down if we do not want Orange County to be crushed by unemployment, runaway deficits, a huge increase in homeless, and exceptionally long lines at food banks. Now more than ever, we need to have the courage to act. By getting the economy going again and helping our businesses, we are going to save families, ensure a bright future for our citizens and YES, SAVE LIVES. Suicides, heart attacks, cancer, and numerous other diseases are caused by stress. With all of our businesses closed and many forced to go out of business entirely, we are putting a substantial "health strain" on thousands of people that will no doubt lead to death, crime and other undesirable consequences. Additionally, we have children that live in abusive homes that have no escape, and the majority of our social programs and charities that people really count on are going to be under funded from the closed businesses who pay taxes to fund these programs. As a public official, you took the oath of office to act in the best interest of our County. We are really are faced with two choices: Problem: We have a virus that has caused a death toll of approximately .0012% of our County population. There is no cure for the virus and it will not go away any time soon, until there is a vaccine. Our Choices: A. Continue to keep the economy closed and cause the CERTAIN DEATH of our businesses. We will not get rid of the virus with this choice and we will have to continue to deal with it when we do open with much more unemployment, huge budget deficits (potentially opening ourselves up to any other exogenous shock we experience), and a real risk of a depression. Open the economy back up. Offer those that feel unsafe or have an pre- existing condition the ability to work from home for another 60 — 90 days, perhaps longer for the most vulnerable. It would be far cheaper for us to offer assistance to this group and isolate them vs. isolating everyone. We should continue to practice some level of social distancing and use the money that we save by not letting our companies go bankrupt to invest in the most up to date testing; therapeutics and a vaccine when one becomes available. When you take a step back and realize that COVID is not the only "risk" that we need to contend with to have the best outcome for our citizens, you will begin to see that there is no other option except to get the economy started again.

"Over this past weekend, beaches in Newport Beach were open and we had more than 40,000 visitors in our community," said Dr. Iman Bar. "We're at a very vulnerable place with our community and we have a lot of seniors who need to be protected" Recent statistics estimate only 4% of the Orange County population has been tested for COVID-19. "There is lack of comprehensive testing here in Orange County," continued Dr. Iman Bar. "The community is still vulnerable and Newport Beach is one of the only cities that opened its beaches this weekend. Therefore, this initiative is even more critical right now." "Testing and treating as many people in the community is of upmost importance," says Dr. Bar. "The more people we can test quickly, the faster businesses can re -open, and people can get on with their `new normal' lives". "A strong and effective governmental public health infrastructure in our cities is essential not only to re- spond to crises such as these in the community. By creating advisory health committee in cities to ad- dress ongoing local challenges such as preventing or managing infectious diseases, such as the COVID pandemic," says Dr. Iman Bar. The Immunity in the Community initiative makes it easier and faster for residents to get tested for COVID-19. The initiative will test Orange County residents in order to learn if they are `silent carries' or have developed immunity to the virus, or if a resident is a silent carrier spreading the virus without knowing it. Immunity in the Community is a comprehensive initiative launched by Dr. Bar who has recruited private labs to test the thousands of residents of Orange County in real-time, with 24-hour turn around results. "I have been involved in this pandemic since the start by offering unlimited testing and at home treat- ment for COVID-19 in our county, as well as neighboring cities."

Dear City Council & Staff: I am a resident of Cameo Shores and I am writing to implore you to provide some immediate relief to my neighbors and I, to restore peace and security in our community again. Since the closures of public parks, facilities and parking lots, non-residents have flocked to our neighborhood in unprecedented numbers, some to access trails and beaches, and others trespassing by the dozen into our private parks and over fences into private beach areas, to gather and recreate, all with no regard for the stay-at-home order in place, the law, or basic decorum. As we abide by the guidelines, our need to use our own neighborhood amenities, without fear of viral exposure, should not be disregarded by policymakers and law enforcement, nor should the greater concern for our security as the threat of burglary and other crime increases. The longer the City allows the public to unlawfully utilize our neighborhood as their personal playgrounds, the more exposed we become and the more likely this is to become a habitual problem that will not cease, even after access to public facilities has been restored. We have been unfairly burdened by the decisions to make these closures and left completely without remedy or protections. If the intent of the closures is to temporarily restrict activity and encourage people to stay in their own neighborhoods, then the City should have no difficulty taking the most basic of actions to do the same in Cameo Shores and Cameo Highlands, in order to ensure you are evenly and consistently enforcing these temporary restrictions, citywide, for the protection of our residents. It seems that the City has been willing to take certain steps to selectively prohibit otherwise lawful activity on the Peninsula, at the Wedge, Goldenrod Footbridge, Buck Gully Trail and even banned Short -Term lodging. I am only asking that our neighborhood be given the same consideration and deference. It is clear that people will not be impeded by state and county government mandates, closures, or recommendations so the onus is on our local taxpayer -funded police power to preserve our neighborhoods through parking and trespass laws, which are more than justified under the circumstances. As such, I am asking that the City immediately implement the same measures for Cameo that have been put in place in public playgrounds and beach areas throughout the City; 1) erect temporary "no -parking" signage along our neighborhood streets, particularly those at the entries to the communities including, Hampden Road, Cameo Shores Road, Roxbury Road, Cameo Highlands and Cortland; 2) enlist additional parking enforcement personnel to monitor streets for violations; 3) increase police presence with regular patrol of neighborhood streets and beach access points throughout the day and night; and 4) utilize electronic marquees on Pacific Coast Highway to alert passersby of stringent enforcement of noise ordinances, parking codes and trespass.

Dear City Council & Staff: I am a resident of Cameo Community Association, specifically Cameo Highlands, and want to share the concerns I have due to problems we are experiencing as a result of the closures of beach parking lots up and down the coast, and particularly Crystal Cove, a short walking distance from my neighborhood. I won't go into all the problems and concerns that have already been shared by so many, most of which I wholeheartedly support. But I will share one situation, a very personal one, that made me wonder about the broader impact on our elders and disabled who live in Corona del Mar and who no longer feel safe in their homes and yards and are no longer able to park in front of their homes. I drove my 96 -year old Mom to our home for a brief visit the other day. We normally park on the street in front of the house because our drive is quite steep and unmanageable with her walker. The closest open spot for parking on my street was four doors down ... not an easy trek for Mom. And she can't be the only elder or disabled who has had this experience since beach parking was closed. Our neighborhoods need temporary relief from this onslaught of traffic. Temporary parking permits or temporary no parking signs would surely help in the short-term. Also, please bring back the electronic signs that we had last month that can alert motorists and pedestrians about the city's enforcement of noise, parking and private -property trespass codes. And if you are already considering options like these for high-density neighborhoods such as CdM Village and the Peninsula, please don't forget those of us who live in the eastern NB communities who are directly impacted by the visitors to Crystal Cove State Park. The eastern NB communities provide "free parking" and a short walk to Crystal Cove State Park/Beach. But the cost to residents living in these neighborhoods is quite high and cannot be ignored. Thank you. :Karen TringaCt 7 Mulvey, Jennifer From: City Clerk's Office Sent: Monday, April 27, 2020 4:56 PM To: Mulvey, Jennifer; Rieff, Kim Subject: FW: A Relatively Succinct take on Economics, the Virus, and Summer From: JR Walz Sent: Monday, April 27, 2020 4:55:18 PM (UTC -08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada) To: City Clerk's Office; Dixon, Diane; Avery, Brad; Duffield, Duffy; Herdman, Jeff; Brenner, Joy; O'Neill, William; Boyles, Jeff Subject: A Relatively Succinct take on Economics, the Virus, and Summer [EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. In an effort to keep this brief, I'll simply say I've lived and worked in Newport since 1984. In regard to the coronavirus, I'm proud of the common sense approach taken by city officials so far. This pandemic has exposed the fragility of our international economy and cultural sensitivity. We were quick to take action and enact the necessary measures to slow the contagion, but it has shattered our confidence and laid bare our lack of bravery and grit to confront it. Instead of hoping for cures and miracles, we should be making plans for how we are going to open businesses, schools, and summer camps amidst the continuing existence of the virus. There are strong signs of success in the fight. However, we will need courageous action from our leaders to guide us out of this malaise. A frightened and fragile minority are bending the ears of leadership in the wrong direction. Let's first assume that nothing in the short term can be done, and then begin to design ways we can commingle relatively safely. Our society exchanges a large amount of human sickness, injury, and death everyday so that the vast majority of people can pursue happiness. If the speed limit was 10 mph there would be no traffic related deaths. Swimming pools are more dangerous than the guns in our houses. Where's the flu, HIV, or common cold vaccines? We accept the existence of these threats because the relative costs are less than the individual benefits society receives from the pursuit of a vibrant, fulfilled, and happy life. We need to start making some of those same cost evaluations with Covid 19.1 believe some level of social distancing should persist, but we need to do it while returning to life as we used to know it. Businesses need to open slowly, but surely. Kids need the liberty to attend summer camps. Restaurants and Bars deserve a chance to survive. And, schools must open in the fall. The vocal minority of people scaring the courage out of our leaders can choose to remain quarantined (new businesses will arise to meet their needs), but the silent majority deserves the freedom to choose otherwise. _JR Walz 510 Larkspur Ave, Corona del Mar 949.836.5977 Mulvey, Jennifer From: City Clerk's Office Sent: Monday, April 27, 2020 4:47 PM To: Mulvey, Jennifer; Rieff, Kim Subject: FW: Public Comments: Covid19 Response & Recovery From: Linda Williams Sent: Monday, April 27, 2020 5:46:55 PM (UTC -08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada) To: City Clerk's Office; info@cdmra.org Subject: Public Comments: Covid19 Response & Recovery [EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

I would like the council to consider permitting massage therapists to resume seeing patients/clients as I believe they are essential like other healthcare providers. Many people get massages to alleviate pain and prevent injuries. This is especially true for older persons, persons with prior injuries, and highly active persons. There are ways that businesses that provide massages can open and maintain social distancing. For example, a spa can only open it's doors for massage appointments (not facials) and keep locker rooms closed and common areas closed. Clients can be asked to wait in their cars until they are called in. Also, while normally clients go to locker rooms to change into a robe, instead they could be directed to their designated massage room, have a bag provided to put their clothes in and a robe there to change into. And then after the massage they can change back into their clothes in that same room and leave. Robes and sheets are provided fresh for each client on any day and the bed and door handles can be wiped down. Also, the massage therapist can wear gloves and a mask and so can the client. Given these multiple options that can be used to assist in preventing the spread of Covid-19 at a massage business, I would like the council to consider Permitting such businesses to reopen. Thank you for your time and consideration.

PLEASE CLOSE THE CRYSTAL COVE SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT ON THE WEEKENDS. to anyone not shopping ! i drove by Sunday on my way to and from Laguna Beach and it looked like a giant tail gate party. The lot was packed with vehicles ( most of the stores are closed except for Trader Joes) with picnicking outside their vehicles and folks carrying beach chairs and picnic baskets across PCH to Crystal Cove Beach.... Groups of teens, close together skateboarding to the beach, Very few masks. Very little social distancing. WTF are these people thinking? That they are immune because of the sunshine?

Dear City Council & Staff: I am a resident of Cameo Shores/Highlands and am writing to plead with you to provide some immediate relief to my neighbors and I, to restore peace and security in our community again. Since the closures of public parks, facilities and parking lots, non-residents have flocked to our neighborhood in unprecedented numbers, some to access trails and beaches, and others trespassing by the dozen into our private parks and over fences into private beach areas, to gather and recreate, all with no regard for the stay-at-home order in place, the law, or basic decorum. As we abide by the guidelines, our need to use our own neighborhood amenities, without fear of viral exposure, should not be disregarded by policymakers and law enforcement, nor should the greater concern for our security as the threat of burglary and other crime increases. The longer the City allows the public to unlawfully utilize our neighborhood as their personal playgrounds, the more exposed we become and the more likely this is to become a habitual problem that will not cease, even after access to public facilities has been restored. We have been unfairly burdened by the decisions to make these closures and left completely without remedy or protections. If the intent of the closures is to temporarily restrict activity and encourage people to stay in their own neighborhoods, then the City should have no difficulty taking the most basic of actions to do the same in Cameo Shores and Cameo Highlands, in order to ensure you are evenly and consistently enforcing these temporary restrictions, citywide, for the protection of our residents. It seems that the City has been willing to take certain steps to selectively prohibit otherwise lawful activity on the Peninsula, at the Wedge, Goldenrod Footbridge, Buck Gully Trail and even banned Short -Term lodging. I am only asking that our neighborhood be given the same consideration and deference. It is clear that people will not be impeded by state and county government mandates, closures, or recommendations so the onus is on our local taxpayer -funded police power to preserve our neighborhoods through parking and trespass laws, which are more than justified under the circumstances. As such, I am asking that the City immediately implement the same measures for Cameo that have been put in place in public playgrounds and beach areas throughout the City; 1) erect temporary "no -parking" signage along our neighborhood streets, particularly those at the entries to the communities including, 45 Hampden Road, Cameo Shores Road, Roxbury Road, Cameo Highlands and Cortland; 2) enlist additional parking enforcement personnel to monitor streets for violations; 3) increase police presence with regular patrol of neighborhood streets and beach access points throughout the day and night; and 4) utilize electronic marquees on Pacific Coast Highway to alert passersby of stringent enforcement of noise ordinances, parking codes and trespass.

To the Mayor and city council members My husband and I have been homeowners in Corona Del Mar for 29 years. We've been diligent in observing and obeying rules and regulations laid down by the state and city governments. With this Covid 19 pandemic the rules governed by the city of Newport Beach have been disjointed. For example, Ocean Ave. has one-way signs for pedestrians going northwest and those going southeast. That's all good and fine. However the city has allowed pedestrians and their pets to walk alongside one another down the walkway to Little Corona beach and mingle with those returning. Neither masks nor social distancing. WHERE's THE UNIFORMITY IN RULES? Then we had this weekend with throngs of people going to and from little corona beach, an estimated 40,0000? ALSO RIDICULOUS Here's also a very disturbing rule. We, as homeowners have not been permitted to walk on Goldenrod bridge for weeks. THERE IS A DISCONNECT IN YOUR RULES. ONLY HOMEOWNERS WALK ON THIS BRIDGE AND ARE VERY OBSERVANT OF WEARING MASKS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING. We all want to take walks from ocean to PCH. We would appreciate your opening the bridge.

We have some Cameo residents on that list. Cameo neighborhood watch sent emails to their list (80-100) shortly thereafter. All cameo homes on that list. SPON sent theirs shortly after 10am and one of our local political party groups this afternoon. Both have CdM/Cameo residents on their lists. Two of my neighbors copied me on their emails well ahead of the deadline. I certainly hope that more than 4 Cameo homes answered these calls to action. Might be worth a call to Leilani to find out if they are still triaging residents' comments. I've counted over 100 responses so far from these groups. Have you seen the OCBOS petition?

I won't go into all the problems and concerns that have already been shared by so many, most of which I wholeheartedly support. But I will share one situation, a very personal one, that made me wonder about the broader impact on our elders and disabled who live in Corona del Mar and who no longer feel safe in their homes and yards and are no longer able to park in front of their homes. I drove my 96 -year old Mom to our home for a brief visit the other day. We normally park on the street in front of the house because our drive is quite steep and unmanageable with her walker. The closest open spot for parking on my street was four doors down ... not an easy trek for Mom. And she can't be the only elder or disabled who has had this experience since beach parking was closed. Our neighborhoods need temporary relief from this onslaught of traffic. Temporary parking permits or temporary no parking signs would surely help in the short-term. Also, please bring back the electronic signs that we had last month that can alert motorists and pedestrians about the city's enforcement of noise, parking and private -property trespass codes. And if you are already considering options like these for high- density neighborhoods such as CdM Village and the Peninsula, please don't forget those of us who live in the eastern NB communities who are directly impacted by the visitors to Crystal Cove State Park. The eastern NB communities provide "free parking" and a short walk to Crystal Cove State Park/Beach. But the cost to residents living in these neighborhoods is quite high and cannot be ignored.

City Council & Staff, As a tax -paying homeowner in Cameo Shores, I am writing to formally request immediate action to restore safety and security in our neighborhood. Since the closures of public parks, facilities and parking lots, non-residents have flocked to our neighborhood in unprecedented numbers, some to access trails and beaches, and others trespassing by the dozen into our private parks and over fences into private beach areas, to gather and recreate, all with no regard for the stay-at-home order in place, the law, or basic decorum. As we abide by the guidelines, our need to use our own neighborhood amenities, without fear of viral exposure, should not be disregarded by policymakers and law enforcement, nor should the greater concern for our security as the threat of burglary and other crime increases. The longer the City allows the public to unlawfully utilize our neighborhood as their personal playgrounds, the more exposed we become and the more likely this is to become a habitual problem that will not cease, even after access to public facilities has been restored. We have been unfairly burdened by the decisions to make these closures and left completely without remedy or protections. If the intent of the closures is to temporarily restrict activity and encourage people to stay in their own neighborhoods, then the City should have no difficulty taking the most basic of actions to do the same in Cameo Shores and Cameo Highlands, in order to ensure you are evenly and consistently enforcing these temporary restrictions, citywide, for the protection of our residents. It seems that the City has been willing to take certain steps to selectively prohibit otherwise lawful activity on the Peninsula, at the Wedge, Goldenrod Footbridge, Buck Gully Trail and even banned Short -Term lodging. I am only asking that our neighborhood be given the same consideration and deference. It is clear that people will not be impeded by state and county government mandates, closures, or recommendations so the onus is on our local taxpayer -funded police power to preserve our neighborhoods through parking and trespass laws, which are more than justified under the circumstances. As such, I am asking that the City immediately implement the same measures for Cameo that have been put in place in public playgrounds and beach areas throughout the City; 1) erect temporary "no -parking" signage along our neighborhood streets, particularly those at the entries to the communities including, Hampden Road, Cameo Shores 4 Road, Roxbury Road, Cameo Highlands and Cortland; 2) enlist additional parking enforcement personnel to monitor streets for violations; 3) increase police presence with regular patrol of neighborhood streets and beach access points throughout the day and night; and 4) utilize electronic marquees on Pacific Coast Highway to alert passersby of stringent enforcement of noise ordinances, parking codes and trespass.

Hello, I'm a Newport Beach resident since 1986, and own 2 homes here with my family. I will try to be brief: 1. ALL State Beaches should open together at the same time... OR all be closed together. This will prevent chaos in any single beach city that's opened... just like we had unfortunately last weekend. 2. Natalie Basmaciyan our Homeless coordinator reassured Newport Beach Residents at her last City meeting that the Homeless would have to abide by the same rules and laws we do. They don't. Sleeping in parks is prohibited, but is not being reinforced and the encampments are growing because the Homeless break the law and have zero consequences. Why is this happening? 3. Build a Shelter to help our Homeless, but create safety rules for our children. Perhaps having a 100 yard restriction from Schools and Playgrounds. Plus consider building a Shelter away from the beach or businesses so our City can thrive financially. Many people chose not to come here and support Newport Beach businesses because they're getting harassed and threatened by our Homeless. Just read Nextdoor app or other sites. 4. I've been haunted by what happened in Oceanside many years ago. A 9 yr old boy went into the Beach/Harbor bathroom while his Aunt waited outside. A Vagrant slashed the boys throat killing him. The Vagrant wasn't caught until he attacked a woman later. I see many Homeless Encampments near Playgrounds, Parks, Schools and wherever our children are... for example (Jr Lifeguards), and I've been horrified witnessing Homeless's Violent fist fights, masturbation, public urination (when feet from a bathroom), screaming obscenities, nudity... all that is UNSAFE and unhealthy for any child to see or be so close to. I don't know which Council Member suggested the Airport area for a Shelter, but that's ingenious because it's an area where the Homeless can be taken care of yet it's not close to the beach businesses and tourists that generate success for our Newport Beach City. I've taken my time to write this in hopes it can touch your hearts and business minds. Protect our children. Support our businesses and beaches so that the Homeless don't chase away our visitors that bring in revenue helping our City thrive. Perhaps that money made from our businesses will help in a Shelter for the Homeless. Just my thoughts from a Resident that loves Newport Beach, and wants the best for everyone.

April 28, 2020 No one believes deaths from a virus should shut down the world. No one. We all have the same foundational conscience and we all are thinking the same thin have heard my circle of friends, people standing in lines, civil servants, are all blaming government for this unlawful extension of shutting down our lives and ignoring the past. Lack of action will no doubt make future efforts more difficult especially when the truth of not needing to do the severe actions of fining people, shaming people, ending lives in bankruptcy, suicide, depression, and shutting people in, comes out. We now have all the data and we know who should stay home -> those who are sick, just as they we all did before this history repeated itself. Following the governor and the LA mayor will only bring more anger and resentment on all Newport officials for being sheep in an environment that struggles to have 50 people die out of 3 million from a new flu strain. Of course, you all have jobs so why not shut "the people" In, no beaches, no work, no eating out. Ignoring unchanging psychological needs in addition to what has always happened with a virus. Separation makes it worse and prolongs the problem. Will you vaccinate the whole world? People living in the mountains, under bridges, on islands, wealthy living in compounds, that will someday walk past you? No you cannot. Like the flu vaccine, can everyone be vaccinated? No some medically cannot, others choose not to. Like dropping bucket of paint in the ocean. This has already been figured out long ago and we have practiced it with measles and small pox. Nature herd immunity, healthy, marginal, and sick bodies2. It would be cheaper to build a couple of free gyms, give every resident an organic food gift card allowance, and an oxidized water machine' than what you think you are doing now. Even then only the healthy will use it and the others will not, have marginal health and be subject to sickness and death. This has always been. You think distancing will work with people who maintain marginal health? Fragile people cannot go out any way. Caregivers should already be keeping sick people way. Bosses already send sick emolovees home People already call in sick Teachers already turn away sniffling kids from day care. How many times to you yourself say "don't come near me I am feeling sick today"? Always we all already manage ourselves. Make your own decisions based on history and reason.

Dear City Council, We are in unprecedented times with Covid-19. I think thus far Californians and our government, including you, have done a great job. But that being said, we, Californians, have done what you've asked of us. We have stayed at home in great numbers, sure there are always some outliers you see on the news, but most of us have obeyed your stay at home order. Not only have we done that beyond the timeline originally asked, but we have absolutely demolished the data originally used for beds needed, ICU beds needed, and ventilators. We have completed squashed the curve, not just flattened it. Today Governor Newsom said we need to decrease cases of Covid to get passed Phase 1. What if that never happens? It's quite possible cases of Covid, much like the flu will always have a baseline number of cases. We've done our part. It's time to do yours. Testing data is inaccurate and doesn't solve the long term issues of life vs death. Testing for Covid has anywhere from a 5% - 30% false negatives and positives. Testing for antibodies has 4-5% false negatives, while also not knowing what antibodies even mean for this virus. Testing does nothing for anyone but the scientists trying to find the denominator of this virus, determining the true mortality rate of this virus. There's no way to ever catch everyone with the virus and track them. Using "testing" as a reason to not open the state is simply not a good reason. We must acknowledge as a society that we accept a certain level of mortality with everything we do from driving, to eating, to vaccines, to attending sporting events, to elective surgeries. Why should Covid 19 be any different? At no time in history, have we ever crippled our local and federal economy for something so unknown. We know enough now to know Covid 19 is here to stay. Let us open Newport Beach safely and manage it safely, but let's open for us all.. Let's start to deal in reality. We will all face mortality and some may face it with Covid 19... 99.9% will not. Please start governing for the 99.9% of us that will survive this virus and for the crumbling economy we see at our feet as each day, week, and month pass we don't get back out there. We all wish safety and security to everyone, that includes both health and economic safety and security. Thanks for listening.

As we are coming up to parking pass time - Ive been made aware each job site receives temporary parking passes. Well there's at least 10 house under contraction on this island and each day the bring at least 10 workers. So I'm really frustrated that these passes will be given out in such a ridiculously tough parking time.

Hi Michelle, Donald and the Newport Beach City Council, I've written before and will continue to write. Thank you for reading. I just now listened to the Governor's talk about the phases for reopening and I have serious concerns. If businesses are required by law to stay closed, we cannot do so without financial support. The PPP is not having the desired outcome. Additionally, the millions of people on unemployment need an opportunity to get back to work. There are people who cannot eat right now because they cannot work. A few months isn't viable for so many people in our state, even some here in the beach cities. Additionally "months instead of weeks" for phase 3 is simply not good enough unless there are federal, state and local plans to offer real and meaningful financial support to businesses. I'm a small business owner with two Pilates studios in Newport Beach. I'm dismayed to hear that we won't be able to open for a long time and I hope the county can help us. First, my employees need to earn money. They need to earn income so they can pay rent and buy food. Many of my employees have filed for unemployment but some of them have not gotten it yet; others have been denied (even though their claims are legitimate). Second, there has been no mention of the very real math for business. We need rent relief or options to exit our leases. If legislation or an executive order isn't possible, even a statement from elected officials to encourage landlords to work with their tenants would help. Loans are not the answer. Ask the governor or the OC Board of Supervisors to put out a statement encouraging landlords to work with their tenants. I understand landlords have financial obligations, but if they do not offer support (i.e., lower rents) for tenants then there won't be any tenants. Some gentle encouragement seems like a reasonable step that would help everyone in the long run. Last, one of the biggest frustrations my business has is that we can operate with social distance. We already have our safety plans drafted and we are in the process of working through them even more. We've rearranged our space so everyone has six feet of space. I've ordered masks for all my employees. It's frustrating that the state is providing no financial support yet won't even give businesses like mine a chance to operate safely, which we feel like we can do. 17 As a citizen, business owner, daughter and parent, of course I care about human lives. I worry about vulnerable populations, like my mom, who is 71. 1 worry about my son when he goes to see his friends. I worry the customers at my business (if there is one after this) and want to keep them safe. But I'm concerned that the governor's plan does not show balance between protecting health and economic destruction. There has to be a better way to balance both sides of the equation. Sincerely, - Murphy www.CoreReform.com 18 Mulvey, Jennifer From: Rieff, Kim Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2020 2:56 PM To: Mulvey, Jennifer Subject: FW: Got injured jogging on Balboa Island yesterday From: Brett Buchanan <brettwbl@yahoo.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2020 1:38 PM To: Herdman, Jeff <jherdman@newportbeachca.gov>; Dept - City Council <CityCouncil@newportbeachca.gov> Subject: Got injured jogging on Balboa Island yesterday [EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. I fractured my fibula ligament yesterday jogging on Balboa, as I tripped when I was going into the street to avoid people who had just gotten on the sidewalk. Don't know what the answer is, but the current setup is making it dangerous to walk/exercise on Balboa, so I just thought I'd share my story. Thank you. 15 Mulvey, Jennifer From: City Clerk's Office Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2020 4:51 PM To: Mulvey, Jennifer; Rieff, Kim Subject: FW: BVAC Support From: Eunjoo Pluenneke Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2020 4:50:51 PM (UTC -08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada) To: Dept - City Council Cc: City Clerk's Office; Kelly O'Donovan; Arthur White; D'Aluisio, Colleen; Eunjoo Pluenneke Subject: BVAC Support [EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Newport Beach City Council, I hope you and your families are healthy and doing well. I am writing in support of the BVAC budget and Kelly Carlson's earlier email. Balboa Village has been especially hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic given that much of our business is attributed to seasonal tourism and recreation at this time of year, all of which has halted. The devastation has been truly hard to witness after years of seeing this community grow. The public health fear of this pandemic is unprecedented and something we as individual businesses cannot overcome on our own. As we move into what is hopefully the next phase in this crisis, we need your support to promote a strong message that Balboa is a clean and safe place to visit. I believe the BVAC is best positioned to take on a campaign of this nature. They have skin in the game, are accountable, and have the best interests for Balboa Village and the peninsula. Thank you for taking this into consideration.

I have written the Council several times as you know but CDM seems to get worse and worse. People do not stay home because Ocean Blvd is in in itself an unlimited parking lot for visitors. The Mayor stated residents need to have outdoor open space for mental health. I agree. Those of us who live in the Flower Streets have had our open spaces taken away and what is left seems to be protected for the use of non- residents. I do not know any neighbor who go towards the Bluff and Beach area at all on weekends or sunny days because it is packed with people not staying at home and driving to our neighborhood. Why is this allowed ? Why not close Ocean Blvd it down for peds only (like Los Angeles and other cities have done in many instances.) Ocean Blvd. is essentially a parking lot for the Bluff and CDM beach. The severe one way (sidewalk) restrictions simply make this area even more stressful for residents and there is too much outside traffic to walk safely or even ride a bike in the street. The current situation just invites people to the neighborhoods precluding its use by residents. There is no possibility of physical distancing under the current situation on Ocean, so again the only choice for the residents to stay safe is to stay home. So the goal of the Mayor in keeping outdoor space for residents is not met for residents in this part of the city. It would be good to have this issue fully discussed by Council today. 13 Most of us feel if parking in CDM not further limited to residents here in CDM you may as well open the beach parking so at least you get all these people off Ocean and out of the residential streets. ( being sarcastic of course but it is very frustrating here being locked in our homes with nowhere to go unless we drive out of the neighborhood). On past discussions with city staff trying to monitor and manage Ocean Blvd they tell us to complain to Council and City Manager to get this changed; they are also not happy with what is going on. I do not like to see our city staff put in harms way just because we are trying to accommodate people not minding the stay at home order. People who come in to our neighborhoods right now do not care about our city or our residents; this weekend I observed people tearing down city posted social distancing signs ... you will find no more signs up in Bayside park. I appreciate the Council having this special meeting and trying to come up with solutions to these problems. Hopefully this results in some returning of our neighborhood to residents. That would be nice indeed.
