H: Vacancy - district 4.- 4,pplication.doc 0 As a long time resident and business owner in Newport Beach 1 feel that 1 am very aware of the issues that confront both the residents and the businesses of this city. 1 feel that the issues of the airport, traffic, mansionization of property, city employee retirement funds and redevelopment of our older areas are vital concerns that need attention and scrutinizing. 1 feel that 1 have the skills and know how that will help with these problems that the city faces. I will bring to the table a retail businesspersons point of view and knowledge. 1 experience first hand the problems with health care insurance coverage and workers compensation for employees. 1 feel the effects of recession and inflation as well as the benefits of a good and prosperous economy. 1 have learned how to tighten the business belt durinu hard times and expand during good times. I will also bring a point of view to the council that 1 do not see represented at this present time. That view is one of an artist. Even though 1 have been a successful business owner, my career is one of an artist. I will bring a different point of view to subjects. 1 will see things differently, and 1 think that will complement and add to the ideas expressed by others. 1 have been chosen by my peers to be the leader not only in organizations whose main • goal is to promote artistic endeavors, but also those organizations whose main function is to promote a better quality of life for everybody by promoting business and improvements to the areas that businesses exist. 1 feel that one of my best qualities is that I am willing to listen to other points of view. But, at the same time, 1 am not afraid to voice my own thoughts. 1 will listen to other council members as 1 will listen to my own constituents. I have learned that compromise is sometimes the best solution for success. Listening and working with people to solve problems are my strong suits. Since helping form the Corona del Mar BID in 1996, I have worked with many of the different departments of the city and many city staff personnel. 1 have found their dedication to duty and willingness to help very exemplary. 1 have also found that sometimes it is necessary to get out there and find out what the citizens really think about what is proposed, It is very important to hear all sides before making judgments. 1 think that sometimes I will bring a different point of view, but it will be a point of view substantiated by diligence to fact finding and consulting with those that I represent. Lastly, 1 think that 1 also bring a strong possibility of continuity to the council. I think that 1 will be a very strong candidate for reelection in two years. 1 feel that this is an important factor to give the best representation to the 4`h district of Newport Beach. 11 AFFIDAVIT OFAPPLICANTAND OATH OR AFFIRMATION OF ALLEGIANCE FOR APPOINTMENT TO FILL THE UNEXPIRED CITY COUNCIL TERM FOR DISTRICT 4 State of California } f ss.

F1 Vacancy - Dutnct 4'Applicacion.doc 0 Special Qualifications Particularly Appropriate for a Council Appointment I currently hold a seat oil the Beaches, Parks and Recreation Commission. I Nvas appointed tichcn an unexpected vacancy occurred as a result of Commissioner Steven Rosanky's appointment to the Council. Since my appointment to the Commission. we have made two significant recommendations to the Council, most recently prohibiting smoking on the beach and earlier the park patrol. I have also represented the Commission at the 2004 Arbor Day Celebration at Lincoln Middle School and most recently the 2004 Sunday Fun Day at the Park. I also serve on the Park Development Committee. This committee makes recommendations to the Commission as a whole and city staff on land acquisition and part: construction. Most recently the Committee has made help prioritize the development of Sunset Ridge, Newport Ridge and Upper Bay View parks. Also, I am cunrently sen ug on the Executive Planning Committee of the Corona del I'Aar Centennial Celebration. This committee serves the Board of Directors of the Corona del Mar Centennial Foundation. I am the Special Events Committee Chair. Our committee is charged with the Corona del Mar Beach Party and Expo to be held on the weekend of October 16's and 17`h Those activities include a number of first for Newport Beach, alive concert at Corona del Alar State Beach, a vintage boat parade and a fireworks display over the mouth of the harbor. Since 1999, I have been a resident member of the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce. I sere on the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce Governmental Affairs Committee. The committee is made up of business leaders as will as representatives of elected officials and state agencies. The committee routinely invites speakers who are community leaders or activists to speak on a wide variety of issues which may affect the business climate in the Newport Beach Area. The committee makes recommendations to the Board of Directors as to official positions the Chamber should take on Various city, county and statewide issues. I am the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Leadership Tomorrow serving my second tens in that capacity. Leadership Tomorrow is a progam designed to help people become more engaged their communities. Many of our --Taduates become volunteers in civic orCuanizations, attain appointments to Boards or Commissions and even nut for elected office. I Nvas a member of the Class of 1999 in Leadership Tomorrow and was asked to serve on the Board of Directors upon graduation. Several current Council members and Commissioners are graduates of our program in Costa Mesa, Irvine and Newport Beach includima Mr. Rosansl :y and Mr. Adams. I have been an Associate with the Lipper Back Bay Naturalist and Friends since 2003. In this capacity I scn,ed as a volunteer in the Peter and Mary Muth Interpretive Center from 2003 to 2004. The role included actin- as an advocate for issues directing affecting Upper Newport Bay, answering Visitor's questions about the ecology of the region and leading school ;groups through the displays at the Center. I served on the Aviation Committee for District 2 in the city of Newport Beach from 1995 -2003. I was named to the alternate seat by Council member Jan Debay. During this time El Toro • Marine Base remained a viable option for an international airport in Orange County. The Committee made many formal recommendations to the Council during the campaign against Measure "S" strategy and on issues sunoundinv the extension of the settlement agreement for flinhts leaping John Wayne airport during those turbulent times. Part of my role was to keep citizens in District 2 abreast of the airport debate. In addition, 1 worked in concert with the .Airport R-orking Group on the noise level test conducted in 1998 at the base as well as actively campaigning against Measure "S ". Durin; the summer of 1999 1 was a member of the second graduating class of the Newport Beach Citizen's Police academy. Each class elects a leader to represent it and to deliver the 'Traduation address and I was elected to that honor. I hay e been a volunteer at the Newport Beach Toshiba Champions Tour event at the Newport Beach Country Club since its inception in 1994. During this time I hay e participated on a number of committees including hospitality, fair cay marshal and scoring. Also, I have been a volunteer at the Taste of NeN�port Beach sponsored b_v the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce, since 2002. u R'hv I ttish to serve the Cite of Newport Beach as a member of the Citv Council representing District 4 1 have been a continuous resident of Newport Beach since 1954. For 15 years my residence was located at 120 "A" 31" Street on the peninsula in District 2. For the past 3 years, I have resided at 562 Vista Flora in District 4. As others certainly do, I make a number of personal and professional sacrifices in order to live in this Nvorld -class city. I choose to live here because of the quality of life that our city government provides for all of the residents of Newport Beach. Over the years, as I have become more involved in civic affairs, I have also come to appreciate the time, dedication and effort of those elected and appointed officials who have come before me. Now I want to be part of that legacy for others who w ill follow me. My field is education. I began as coach, and then became a professor, and now I am an educational leader. I am Cnair of the English and Speech Communication Department at Riverside Community College. Our department includes 40 full -time faculty and 86 part-time faculty in five different disciplines. I teach a class in arcument analysis. I point this out because the same intangibles which led me into education are now' driving my desire to serve in city government..Above all, educators are humanitarian; they care about people and wog: diligently to help people help themselves. I believe this can be an ideal for civic leaders as well. Although I am not an attorney, a civil engineer, or business owner, my background as an educator will ensure two thinks. One, I will carefully evaluate an__ *uments and make informed decisions. Two, residents of Newport Beach will know 1. genuinely care about what is important to them, and • although I may not always agree, I will listen to and show respect for their point of view. I want to serge on the Council because I am fascinated by public policy and land use issues. Whether it is something as simple as homeowner encroachment on a city park. or as complex as the «cneral plan update, I am very interested in the open process city leaders must engage in to address and resolve these issues. I am personally challenged by the political dynamics involved in building consensus. I will support compromise, but only after I am convinced there is no common ground from which a resolution can be crafted that serves the interests of everyone involved. Finally, I am not afraid to take an unpopular stand if I believe that it is in the best interests of the people who live in my district and the city of Newport Beach. There are important issues facing the city now and in the near future. The most significant of Which is the expansion of service at John Wayne Airport. NVith a cap of 10.8 million and a estimated capacity of 14 -I5 million, there is going to be enormous pressure for expansion as the air travel demand in Orange County increases. The city is now exploring ways it might assume more control of services now provided by the county. One of those is the airport, but others are landfill operations and the harbor. Master planning for areas like the Mariners Mile is necessary to ensure future economic stability for the city. As one of the city's primary retail areas, options including high density housing, parking, and perhaps a boardwalk have to be examined now. Implementation of the proposed Coastal Plan is another important issue. Assumin<, it is approved by the Coastal Commission, implementation may be a greater challenge to the Council than the plan itself. Land use issues similar to the current Marina Park proposal will continue to arise many of which have the potential to dramatically alter the quality of life in Newport Beach well into the future. Finally restrictions imposed on the Council as a result of "Greenlight" initiative 9 and the voice of those behind that movcment will always pose a challenge to the Council. As a Council member I would look forward to these challcngcs and others like them. W'hen you consider these issues and their significance to what Newport Beach is now and what it will be in the future, the opportunity to serve on the Council becomes more than just civil service, it is an opportunity to do contribute to something very important not only to me personally but to my friends and neighbor and all those who care about the quality of life in this vreat city. Opportunities like these do not present themselves often, Using a quote by Jackie Robinson may be the best way to explain why I ant an educator and why I would like to serve on the Council. "A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives ". • 9 AFFIDA`"IT OF APPLICANT AND OATH OR AFFIRMATION OF ALLEGLYNCE • FOR APPOINTMENT TO FILL THE UNEXPIRED CITY COUNCIL TERM FOR DISTRICT 4 State of California } } ss.

As with many Newport Beach residents I am a self made person and an avid consumer of our quality of life; safe neighborhoods, clean oceans and bay, vibrant business, managed traffic, retail centers like Fashion Island and a fiscally sound municipal government. These are the essentials of the quality of life which I feel needs to nurtured and protected in Newport Beach. As a councilmember, I will work with each of you to protect our quality of life and provide a safe and thriving environment for our residents and businesses. I grew up in a coastal community, in a township named Falmouth on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. We have coastal, tourism, business, and quality of life issues. My childhood on Cape Cod instilled in me a deep reverence for the land and the sea. Newport embodies that reverence. My father had a dental practice in North Easton and my mother cared for me and my four brothers and sisters. Summers involved cousins, grandparents, sailing lessons and spirited dinner conversations. My upbringing helped shape my beliefs and attitudes. Through my professional career I have worked hard to be effective at representing clients. I learned many things along the way, many of them I think will continue to help me as I represent constituents. I believe I have the decision making qualities to lead and make good decisions on behalf • of our community. I always listen, study, analyze and become fully informed on the issues. I believe it's important to build consensus and I do so on a daily basis in my professional life. I understand that legislating involves compromise - on the City Council it takes 4 votes. Early in my life, I learned the importance of both leadership and believing in oneself. In 1980, over 20 years ago, I was one of the first women appointed to the United States Military Academy at West Point (class of 1984). As a councilmember I will identify the problems, learn the facts and work as a unit to build consensus. I currently serve on the Newport Beach Planning Commission and review land use applications. I believe in balancing property rights with neighborhood quality of life. Property values continue to increase and property owners aim to increase those values through improvements. Development cannot be stopped nor would we want it to be or we would eliminate economic vitality. This does not mean that development should proceed unchecked. While protecting property rights I seek to retain community character. Through the details of a project, through mitigation, we can retain the character of the community without stifling its vitality. I believe I have the decision making qualities to help shape and steward our community. I always listen, study, and become fully informed on issues before deciding what is right or wrong for the community. While on the Telecommunications Committee we held numerous workshops to hear testimony and address concerns. We were able to narrow the issues and proceed with draft legislation that the council adopted on a Leslie Daigle Applicant for District 4 Council Appointment unanimous vote. I build consensus on a daily basis through my professional life. As a councilmember I will identify the problems, learn the facts and work to build consensus amongst my fellow council members as well as within the community. On my job, I participate in an internal corporate dialogue between disciplines such as engineering, marketing, real estate, and lawyers to define a project. As the go between of a corporation and a local community 1 identify concerns and make adjustments without sacrificing the integrity of the project. 1 navigate between the logic of the Bechtels and the AT &Ts of the world and the diverse concerns of a mosaic of local communities here in California. I am trained as a spokesperson in public forums and in conducting community outreach. I take seriously my role as a "public servant' in my appointed positions. 1 have made it known that as a member of the Planning Commission 1 am available to the people of the community. I will continue to be available to meet with people. 1 want to work- with people on the front end and try to avoid upheavals. I view this appointment as the beginning of a six year time horizon. 1 have a perfect attendance record at all of the Telecommunications Committee and Planning Commission hearings and meetings and will commit myself to the demands of being the councilmember for District 4. 1 want to work with each of you to maintain quality of life for our residents; safe neighborhoods, clean oceans and bay, vibrant business, managed traffic, nice beaches. • I am flattered and honored to have been asked by elected officials and residents to apply for this appointed position. I want you to know that appointed or not, I love our community and want to shape its fixture.

Notary Public or City Clerk • Barry D. Eaton City Council Candidate Application Attachment I have lived in the City of Newport Beach for 32 years —the last 27 at our current home in Eastbluff. I raised my children in Newport Beach and currently share the City's many amenities with my grandchildren every weekend. During my career as an Urban Planner, I worked in six different Southern California cities; for two consultant firms; and for what was, at the time, the largest developer of residential communities in the nation. As such, I bring wide - ranging experience in working for, and dealing with, many other cities in the region. I have been especially active in Newport Beach during the last 10 years. During that time, I have been elected to five consecutive 2 -year terms to my 460 -home Homeowners Association's Board of Directors. Additionally, I have been elected by that Board as President of the Association for seven consecutive annual terms. During that tenure, I have been recognized as "outstanding Board Member of the Year' in Orange County by the Orange County Chapter of the Community Associations Institute (CAI). I have represented the Association in numerous capacities, including currently as the Eastbluff representative on the Corona del Mar High School Traffic Task Force, established by Councilman Adams. I have also been an active participant on the Board of Directors of the Airport Working Group for more than six years, having been recommended for that post by former Newport Mayor and AWG Board member, Tom Edwards. In City activities, I have been a member of the Planning Commission since the City Council unanimously appointed me to that panel in June of 2003. Prior to that, I served on the Environmental Quality Citizens Advisory Committee (EQAC) for 5'/ years —4 '/: years as the Vice - Chair, the highest office that EQAC members can elect themselves. I have also served on the General Plan Update Committee (GPUC) since its inception five years ago; and was Chair of its Seeping Sub - Committee, which was responsible for formulating the scope of the General Plan Update, which is now underway. • Although not a member of the Building Industry Association (BIA), the Chamber of Commerce, Greenlight or Stop Polluting Our Newport (SPON), I know and respect many members of each organization, and their views. I carefully listen to all individual and organizational positions on issues confronting the City, prior to reaching my own carefully considered conclusion. I am a fiscal conservative — I think the City needs to live within its budget, as it has done so well for many years. I recognize that in order to do that, and to continue to pay for the outstanding services it provides, the City needs to continue to grow its businesses — especially those that, by the quirks of State Law, provide significant direct revenues to the City, while not generating most of their traffic at peak hours. such as substantial sales tax generators and hotels. In that respect, I think the Lexus Dealership is a win -win project for the City. It replaces relatively non - revenue - generating office buildings with a business with a very high generation of sales tax. At the same time, I want to protect the outstanding residential quality of life in Newport Beach. It is that component of the City, along with its natural amenities (centered on the upper and lower bay and the ocean) which provides both its world -class reputation and the bulk of its very high property tax base. In performing my services on behalf of the City, I am thorough about doing my homework and communicate any concems I may have to staff prior to the meeting. In addition, I have watched every City Council meeting on Cable (including the Study Sessions on Sunday afternoons) for more than five years; and I have read most of the Council staff reports and all of the City Manager Newsletters during that time. In summary, I feel that I am prepared by available time, background, City participation, and an active interest, to be able to fully contribute to the balanced deliberations and positive teamwork of the City Council, should it honor me with this appointment. I pledge to meet all the obligations of a council member by faithful attendance at meetings, acceptance of committee assignments, and by continuing to be prepared for all meetings. I will do my utmost to represent my constituents in the 4 'District, and to be accessible to constituents in all areas of the City. 9 APPLICATION FOR APPOINTIVE POSITION FOR OFFICE USE ONLY Residence District No. Date of Registration: �(t Verified by ir.

I was also instrumental in bringing much needed organization and financial support to the annual Newport Harbor Christmas Boat Parade, which draws nearly one million people to our city each December. Whether raising money to develop a special video to help educate people on the importance of watershed issues through the film What Starts at the Drain Feeds the Harbor When it Rains, to raising funds to purchase and donate a Hamilton Water Rake to the city, I have had the opportunity to address and positively influence important community decisions.
