ACTION: 2 - Direct the City Clerk to put out a call for applicants for membership to the Committee. BACKGROUND: As a part of the City's discussion with the residents of the Newport Coast who organized themselves into the Newport Coast Committee of 2000 (NCC2K), the City agreed to form a 7- member committee to advise the City Council on matters of importance to the Newport Coast community, including: • Whether or not to place a community center in the Newport Coast; and, if so, • The location, design, and use of the community center; • The apportionment of $18 million in assessment district relief to the residents of the Newport Coast who pay into Assessment Districts 88 -1 and 92 -1; • The maintenance of certain slopes, medians, and parks in the Newport Coast; and • Any other matters of importance to the Newport Coast community in the months and years following annexation. Your City Council agreed to form this Newport Coast Advisory Committee (NCAC) on September 24, 2000 when it ratified a series of terms and conditions associated with the City's annexation proposal for the Newport Coast. One of the terms and conditions said that the City would form the NCAC by resolution in advance of annexation. Committee membership would be seven people, all residents of the Newport Coast unless the Council member appointee to the NCAC wasn't a Newport Coast resident. The NCC2K will appoint four members with the City Council the remaining three, including any Council Member appointees. Terms would be for three years, with two of the NCC2K's four appointments authorized to serve two consecutive three -year terms. The NCAC would cease operations six years following the adoption of the Resolution creating it OR immediately upon cessation of the City's current annexation action. Obviously, the NCAC is not necessary if something happens to stop the annexation. A future City Council could always extend the life of the NCAC if the Council and the NCAC desire such an extension. THIS AGENDA This Agenda Item, if approved, would form the NCAC and call for appointments ITEM: by the Newport Coast Committee of 2000 and the City Council.
