Subject: Clarification
Dear Honorable City Council Members,
On Saturday, June 19, 1 sent an email regarding the rescinding of the emergency ordinance.
I had two replies to the email that tell me I need to clarify.
It is not my intent to halt the rescinding of the emergency ordinance in total.
I hope my explanation to Mr. O'Neill provides clarification.
Dear Mr. O'Neill,
Thank you for your prompt reply.
My position is to ask to take the two STR regulations (no new STR permits issued and a three -night minimum)
out of the rescinding of the emergency ordinance. I apologize if I was not specific on that request. In my last
paragraph I addressed that but I could have stressed that more. If that is not possible, then I stand corrected.
Perhaps there is something that can be addressed at a later time.
I base my request on the fact that the Coastal Commission is sitting on a recommendation from the council that
would cap STR permits at 1500 and require a three -night minimum stay.
City staff has worked with Coastal staff and I have not heard that the Coastal staff is opposed to those
recommendations.
If the Coastal Commission was not involved in this process, it is reasonable to assume those regulations would
be in place today.
I am learning at every stage and apologize for needing to send a follow up email. We are unfortunately at the mercy of
the Coastal Commission and have no idea when the recommendations to amend the LCP will be heard. It has been a
long process from when we first experienced the huge increase in STR permits and hearing that there are 300 STR
permits waiting to be approved concerns me.
Sincerely,
Gary Cruz

Subject: Resolution No. 2021-62
Dear Honorable Council Members,
On March, 15, 2020 the city adopted and passed an emergency ordinance that placed a hold on additional STR permits and required a
minimum three -night stay. The vote was 6-1.
On October 20, 2020 this council passed Ordinance 20-26 amending the LCP, as it relates to STIR regulations, by a 4-3 vote and
forwarded the recommendations to the Coastal Commission. Included in that ordinance is a cap of 1500 permits and a minimum 3 night
stay both of which will be abolished if Resolution No. 2021-62 is passed.
Coastal Commission is holding up Ordinance 20-26 and has not even conducted a hearing on it eight months later. Newport residents
are being penalized for an inefficient process of regulating STIR properties in the coastal zone.
Hopefully this quagmire will be resolved if Assembly Bill 964 is passed and cities closest to the issue can legislate on STIR regulations.
Until that time, why terminate the cap and minimum thee -night stay before Coastal rules on Ordinance 20-26? If the city thought it was
a good idea to include those regulations in October, 2020, they are still valid today.
There are more STIR permits in Newport Beach than in any coastal community in California and perhaps more than in any city
regardless of proximity to the coast. Does Newport Beach want to be the "Poster Child" for what is wrong with short term lodging? You
do not have to look hard to find cities all over the world are fighting to curb their growth.
Historically less than a three -night stay encourages rentals solely to hold a party.
Given that the city has not approved any additional code enforcement officers this summer, it is short sighted to increase the number of
permits allocated and permit one night rentals when coastal may well accept the recommendations presented in Ordinance 20-26.
The council correctly identified, at the last council meeting, that tourists put a strain on city services and bring little to the economy. The
termination of the emergency order will do nothing but make that situation worse.
Please reconsider termination of all of the requirements included in the emergency order that was declared in March 2020 until the
Coastal Commission has heard, discussed and voted on Ordinance 20-26.

Subject: STR regulations
To: The Honorable Mayor and members of the City Council,
I have lived in Newport Beach with my husband for over 40 years. We raised our 4 daughters here.
We understand that the emergency ordinance restricting the short term lodging in the city may be rescinded
during your meeting tomorrow. We are concerned how this will affect Newport Island. We are currently
waiting for approval from the Coastal Commission to tighten the rules regarding STRs on our island, a move
that you have already recommended.
How this moves forward is in the hands of you, our elected representatives.
Our desire to live in Newport Beach was driven by our childhood memories of vacationing for a few weeks
every year near the beach. These were weekly summer rentals occupied mostly by families. Newport was a
great vacation destination. But that is changing. The Internet has facilitated an opportunity to exploit
vacation rentals into hotel party hot spots. STR's may be profitable for the city and for a few businesses that
sublease properties by turning them into STR's. But this is not conducive to full time residence.
We live on Newport Island and chose this location because it offered serene living, its close proximity to Lido
village and the beach.
There clearly is a problem, evidenced by the outcry of the full time residences of Newport Island. I urge to not
lift the restrictions currently in place in Newport Island.
Thank you for consideration of this matter.
Please do NOT RESCIND the Emergency Ordinance STR restrictions on Newport Island.
Regards.

Subject: Lift our, Newport Beach, local state of emergency
Newport Beach City Council,
Please remove/lift Newport Beach's 'Declared State of Emergency fated March 15, 2020' immediately.
The is currently No existence of any conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the
safety of persons and property within the territorial limits of a county, city and
county, especially here in Newport Beach.
Based on the Newport Beach "Proclamation of the Existence of a Local Emergency by the Newport
Beach Director of Emergency Services, dated March 15, 2020", the reasons stated in the proclamation
are NO LONGER VALID so there is NO reasonable validity to continue with this the proclamation.
- All bars, restaurants, wineries, nightclubs and Brewpubs are now fully open based on Governor
Newsom's latest updates for California, with NO covid related state mandated restrictions.
-Seniors and people with chronic health conditions can now attain an experimental drug via a shot or
use approved Hydroxychloroquine in combination doctor care. Herd immunity has begun to
wain the spread of Covid-19 throughout the United States.
-There currently is NO shortage of Hospital ICU beds, no shortage of a covid-19
experimental drug(s) and no shortage of doctor care available to those in need.
- Current Covid-19 rates in our city as well as our state are lower than the annual flu.
* An emergency can last only as long as there is "extreme peril" that will overwhelm a city's resources to
respond to that extreme peril. Newport Beach has never been close to 'extreme peril' since March
2020.
Thank you,

Good morning,
First I want to thank Mayor O'Neill for his awesome & honest communication. I appreciate his Instagram
posts a lot! The other day, he was praising the mentor program at NHHS and my son was a part of it this
year, so I appreciated his shout out to the program's hard working coordinator & for being a mentor
himself. My 17 yo son asked me the other day, why all schools don't have a mentor program because it
helped him tremendously & it's been the thing he's learned the most from in school thus far.
Anyway, my reason for writing today is to let you know I fully support your removing the emergency
declaration for our city. This declaration being left in place by the governor, is just another glaring
reminder of the hypocrisy, corruption & money motivation that plagues our state's government.
I appreciate you taking steps to remove this declaration and allow NB to stand on its own.
Also, in my constant thoughts about a solution to the homeless crisis, I'm curious as to whether the old
EI Toro hangars have ever been thought about for being a home to the homeless. I think about the space
wasted there and the fact that they could quite literally house a thousand homeless. Incorporating an
area just for on site psych/counseling, utilizing local university psych students as interns to provide
counseling... having on-site AA volunteers to head meetings right there, creating an adjacent farming
area to allow homeless there to participate & learn about sustainable living. Allowing residents to take
some pride in learning about and growing some of their own food. There would be a donation drop off
where the community could drop off clothing items including unwanted professional attire which could
be used for interviewing for jobs at onsite job fairs. Students at local universities could provide & get
credit for student teaching while assisting the homeless with basic skills like reading & accounting... and
provide help filling out job applications.
I have all these thoughts of what could be done -and how those willing in the local communities could
help. I'm guessing there are political quotients I'm not aware that May complicate things, after all -I
don't believe the governor of CA wants these people doing anything besides relying on state
government. Though as time passes, it's hard for me to watch the homeless continue to suffer and for
local beach communities and beaches themselves to suffer while being used as their homes as well.
They should not be given the option to continue living on our beaches or boardwalks... the government
should insist that they be housed properly.
That's all I have -and I thank you for all you do and how you choose to serve our city- with honesty and
integrity.
Best,
Hayley Nester

Honorable Councilmember,
I am writing to you to ask you to vote to repeal the Emergency Declaration for the City of Newport Beach at Tuesday's meeting. Here
are the reasons we should not be under an Emergency Declaration any longer...
1. The State of California opened up on June 15th and yet we are still under "Emergency Orders"
2. The Emergency Declaration was made with the goal to slow the spread of COVID-19, that goal has been reached and there is no
longer imminent threat of hospitals being overrun.
3. The reason given for the Emergency Declaration was to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public, clearly the City knows
that the safety and welfare of the public is not in jeopardy any longer.
4. Emergency Declarations are not supposed to be permanent, and this one has gone on for over a year.
Thank you very much,
With Gratitude,

Hello,
I'm a NB resident writing to express my desire to see the emergency declaration ended in NB. The technical use for
emergency orders are to prevent extreme danger or peril to city resources and citizens. Clearly that is not the case here.
To keep the emergency declaration means there is a gross misuse of power of the city council, as well as a desire to
continue keeping its taxpayers and citizens under an arbitrary set of rules that gives local government more power than
it needs to run the city TODAY.
City council members are not immune from legal suit when they misuse their power for ill gain and not to represent the
citizenry. There is no practical reason anymore to keep the declaration in place.

Good day council members,
Please accept this request to rescind the emergency declaration for the city of Newport Beach. We do not live in
extreme peril from Covid any longer.
Thank you for your important work, especially during these past many of months of unprecedented challenges. None of
you ever dreamed of having to shepherd a city through a pandemic, but you did it and you did it well!

Hello,
I own a hair salon in Corona Del Mar that I opened in 2020 right before the shutdowns. Despite my industry being closed
the majority of the year, I always found a way to make my rent as I didn't want to leave my landlord hanging as I
understand the last year was a community effort.
Although California has loosened the mandates, many people are still skeptical which has made it extremely difficult to
hire new stylists at my space. Please end the emergency orders so that small businesses like mine don't feel like they
have to walk on eggshells as they struggle to survive in California.
Thank you,
Quothia Wolf

Dear Newport Beach City Council,
First of all, thank you for taking the time to read my letter
emergency order currently in place.
I'm writing regarding the vote you will be having about the
Our case rate, hospital rate, etc are all WAY down, in fact better than they've ever been! We citizens have done our part
and have stayed safe. The 15 days to slow the spread that has turned into 15 months needs to end. Show us proof of
"extreme peril" as defined in city and state emergency codes, and we will support that, but at this point it seems
prudent that we go about our business in a normal fashion.
Thank you for leading this city and supporting the will of the people who live here and enjoy this beautiful place.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Sorensen

Dear Council members:
Please rescind the Newport Beach Emergency Declaration regarding the covid virus. There clearly is no longer an
emergency situation therefore having an emergency declaration is a drastic overstep of proper government use of
power.
Please move Newport Beach to a situation of freedom as is the intent of our Constitution and form of government.
We need to encourage our state government leaders to do the same and I believe Newport Beach should be a leader in
freedom and individual rights.
Thank you for your consideration.

Hello,
As Newport Beach residents We 100% thing the state of emergency should be lifted.
On another note children should be allowed to attend pre school with out wearing a mask. We have signed forms to
allow this but it seems that state licensing is pushing schools to require them.

City Council Meeting, Tuesday June 22nd Agenda item 15.
Please read into the record
I strongly support and request that you vote to end the current City declared state of Emergency. This no longer applies
to Newport Beach under CA Government Code Section 8558.
While it may have been necessary for a few weeks, it is long past its sell by date.

Please end this "state of emergency' now ... since there are no signs of an emergency. It has gone on a
year too long. Credibility is lost when government overreaches. How will we trust our elected officials if
a real emergency comes along?

To whom it may concern,
I am writing to plead with you to please vote on Tuesday to lift our local state of emergency. We are fed
up and ready to get on with our lives. My children have suffered the most with these useless mask
mandates in their schools. The other day I took my daughter to Fashion Island for the first time
without having to wear a mask and she said it was one of happiest days because she didn't have to
wear a mask. We are all being safe and smart - there is no emergency. The more information that
comes out, the more it reveals that we have been lied to for over a year and a half. Please do the right
thing and vote for what the overwhelming majority wants, which is to "get back to normal."
Best regards,
Camilla Mullen

Hello,
I have been a Newport Beach resident for over 25 years! Please please lift this state of emergency. Get
us back to normal life and feeling normal not wearing masks. Drop the masks in school!!! We are dying
to get our kids back to their public school that they love but i have lost all trust in the state and system
and am TERRIFIED to have my kids be a part of it. The fact that they can lock us down, place plastic
around our kids and throw masks on them without having actual proof that all of those mandates make
a difference, is absolutely staggering. Please continue to help us and get us back to the beautiful,
peaceful and FREE city that we once were. Give us the assurance that our kids will be safe if we put
them back. This homeschooling feels like the only answer to keep them protected but it isn't real life for
them. Let them live their lives!
Thank you for all that you do. Proud to live in the OC. The only County that actually fights for the people
and stands up with a voice.
Blessings,
Marisa C. Tatum

Good afternoon,
We are respectfully writing to ask that you end the state of emergency. This has gone on far too long. The city and its
resources are not overwhelmed! You were all elected to represent the will of the people; do what's right.
Respectfully,

Hello NB City Council,
Please end our local state of emergency. Our community is not under threat or extreme peril that will overwhelm our
city's resources. I'm sure you are all aware of CA Government Code Section 8558; definition of the emergency
standard. I don't need to take the time to educate you on the 'numbers' (those with Covid v. those without), I'm sure
you are all very well informed on all the stats. With your knowledge and the consideration of the people, answer these
few questions ... Is our community under extreme peril that will overwhelm our city's resources? NO! Disneyland has
lines forming again, Dodger stadium is packed with fans, coffee shops are swarming with people, restaurants are full.
City Council, please explain how you could vote any differently than to lift the state of emergency? How are we in
extreme peril? How would the city lack the necessary resources to protect the people?
Governor Newsom should be embarrassed by his behavior and decision making. Hosting events and appearing on talk
shows trying to lure and incentivise people to get vaccinated, all while using our hard earned tax dollars. Creating a
sense of 'fear' to convince people we still need to live in a 'state of emergency'.
Stand up for the people and the economy of Newport Beach. Vote to end the state of emergency.
Thank you,
Jessica Bellows

Dear City Council
I am writing to enquire about the issue being addressed tomorrow evening in the City Council Meeting, ordinance 2020-
004. 1 understand why it needs to be removed but it does leave me with some questions.
1 -Will the city then be allowing a limitless number of STIR permits city wide, including Newport Island where I reside? Or
will any cap be put in place?
2 -Does the council agree that having a minimum of 3-4 nights stay would help alleviate the issuescaused by 1 night
party renters in a residential neighbourhood and therefore establish a minimum?
3 -Will any removal of these caps which may result in an increase in new permits have direct adverse implications
regarding the pending revisions we are currently presenting to coastal.
Just for reference the reason I ask the above is because during one of the last city meetings which I watched on the city
TV channel in early June, a slide presentation gave the number of STIR citations as 101 total, with verbal confirmation
that 10 were from Newport Island. That equates roughly 10% from 1.2% of permit holders which I think is high enough
to warrant no additional permits on Newport Island or applying a cap here and a minimum requirement for nights
stayed.
That would I believe be beneficial until Coastal has been able to hear our case.
Thank you.
Kind Regards
Gina Cruz

Dear City Council Members,
During tonight's city council meeting, please vote to lift our city's current state of emergency order, as our city (and
state of California) is not under any "extreme peril". Our daughter was able to start her third year of the NBJG's
program today and tonight my husband will be attending the Angels' baseball game—thankfully, neither of them
have to wear masks!
