Meeting for November 15
Our next City Council meeting is Tuesday, November 15. Items
of interest are highlighted below. The entire agenda and reports
can be viewed here.
The regular meeting will begin at 4 p.m. Agenda items include:
Approval of a naming rights donation agreement for the Newport Beach Public
Library Lecture Hall. The Newport Beach Public Library Foundation has received
donation commitments from Elizabeth D. Stahr ($750,000) and Louise and Roy
Woolsey ($1 million). If approved, the Library Lecture Hall courtyard will be named
the "Elizabeth D. Stahr Courtyard" and the building lobby will be named the "Louise
and Roy Woolsey Memorial Lobby."
• Confirmation of appointments to the General Plan Advisory Committee. The General
Plan Update Steering Committee has recommended 30 residents for the General
Plan Advisory Committee, which will help ensure sufficient stakeholder input, review
and provide guidance to City staff and consultants, and make recommendations to
the Steering Committee.
• Budget reports. The City's Finance Department has prepared reports with information
on revenues, expenditures, and estimated fund balance for the fourth quarter of
Fiscal Year 2021-22 and the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2022-23.
A public hearing and consideration of the 2022 California building standards codes
with local amendments, and the 2022 California fire code with local amendments.
The City enforces California's building standards and fire codes that regulate design
and construction of structures to protect life and property. Every three years, the
state adopts new codes and local agencies must adopt the same codes and make
amendments with specific findings.
• A review of traffic -calming measures in the Mariners neighborhood.
In July 2021 the City installed speed cushions on various streets in the Dover Shores
and Mariners neighborhoods to help slow traffic speeds. Staff will discuss the impact
of the speed cushions on traffic and concerns raised by some Mariners -area
residents.
Authorizing a $30.5-million agreement to purchase property at 1201 Dove St. for use
as a future police headquarters. The Newport Beach Police Department's current
station, at 870 Santa Barbara Dr., is about 10 years from the end of its useful life and
police operations have outgrown the existing facility. Under the proposal, the City
would purchase and manage the Dove Street property for about 10 years before
constructing a new police station headquarters. During that time the City would
continue to lease office space, generating revenue to help offset the purchase price.
The cost would be paid through General Fund surplus and unallocated capital project
reserve funds.
