From: Pamela Whitesides [mailto:ptlaw @sbcglobal.net] Sent: Thursday, May 07, 2015 8:17 PM To: Dept - City Council Subject: Jet packs harm fish habitat and marine life Honorable Mayor and City Council, The City Council has already heard opinions about jet packs from other harbor users, businesses and residents and the many reasons why jet packs are not appropriate in Newport Harbor. You may not be aware, however, that jet packs can spell trouble for the surrounding marine ecosystem, an important part of which is the eelgrass in Newport Harbor. The eelgrass marine environment is protected to the extent that residents cannot disrupt or remove eelgrass when they dredge, and if they do, the eelgrass must be replaced somewhere else to insure fish and other creatures in the bay have an adequate environment in which to live and reproduce. Scientists in Hawaii have raised concerns about the damage jet packs cause coral, fish and other marine life. We should be equally concerned about the damage jet packs are causing to the eelgrass habitat in Newport Harbor. Since jet pack equipment sucks in water, it will also suck in small fish, fish eggs and larvae, possibly destroying them all. Scientists and fishermen in Hawaii have also been concerned about the effect of the jet pack noise on the fish and marine mammals. Fish apparently depend largely on their sense of hearing and sound waves travel far further and faster than in air. Jet pack noise scares the fish and adversely affects fish and marine mammals in a wide area. In Newport, we used to see bait fish jumping every day at the west end of Lido. Sometimes we would even see a bait ball undulating through the harbor in front of our docks. Not so in recent years. I would not attribute the apparent loss of marine life to jet packs alone, but as a fisherman quoted in Science World Report states "more and more these bays are being run over, taken over by other activities" and "the marine life that depends on these places — they're being displaced." (See http: / /www.scienceworldreport.c om /articles /8698/20130808/iron -man-jet- packs- hawaii- threaten - coral -reef- ecosystems- video -htm) It appears marine life is as negatively impacted by jet packs as the humans who cannot escape from them. I haven't heard one compelling reason why jet packs should be allowed anywhere in Newport Harbor, but there is a growing litany of compelling reasons they should not. Essentially, all I've heard in favor of allowing jet packs is that no one has been killed and only one flyer injured, and that the "cool" factor might bring more visitors to Newport Beach. First, all the parties, including the current Jet Pack America operator, acknowledge flying with jet packs is inherently dangerous. Another accident or death is almost inevitable if jet packs continue to operate in the crowded harbor. Second, it's debatable whether jet packs will drive away as many or more visitors as they bring to the City. Many or maybe most people come to Newport Harbor's bay side for a peaceful day on a quiet beach, or to sit on a bench to read, think, have a conversation, take a walk, or to have a beautiful backdrop for a proposal or to take family, wedding or engagement photos. These visitors bring their business to the City's restaurants and visitor venues as much or more than the jet pack flyers and observers. And they don't create a hazard or a nuisance to other harbor users and residents just by being here. Finally, there seems a constant refrain by some Council members to "bring more visitors" to Newport Beach. It begs the question whether we really need more visitors, at least on the peninsula with its traffic jams and endless cars that need places to park. The peninsula already gladly accommodates visitors to the beaches, bay and the wedge, the July 4"' crowds, the boat show twice a year, the Christmas Boat Parade, visitors who rent SUPS, kayaks and other water devices in the bay, and fishermen still hoping to catch a fish, to name just a few. The few additional visitors who come to fly on the jet packs can just as easily be accommodated outside the jetty without endangering and harming the quality of life of the rest of us, including the fish and marine mammals. The more one researches jet packs, the speed and recklessness with which they operate, and their negative effects on the environment, both above and below the water, the evidence is overwhelming that they do not belong in Newport Harbor and the City Council should vote to ban them. As always, thank you for your service to the community and I appreciate your careful consideration of the jet pack issue.

While this is just a sampling, it is clear that Newport Beach property owners, residents, local business owners, owners of marine businesses, harbor workers, yacht club members, sailing club members, sailing program directors, past harbor commissioners, boaters, professional yacht captains, marine insurance & financial brokers, owners of the 2 largest shipyards in Newport, kayakers, SUPers and other harbor users overwhelmingly agree that the Jetpack type businesses or personal watercraft DO NOT BELONG inside Newport Harbor. Most are surprised that Jetpack America was ever permitted in the first place. Only a handful of people we all spoke to were "on the fence" or against the ban- 2 of whom happened to be friends of Dean O'Malley's. Even the attendees at Diane Dixon's town hall meeting on Monday night overwhelmingly supported a ban. These are the people that know our harbor the best and they deserve to be listened to. These citizens pay property taxes, residential and commercial pier and mooring permit fees, business taxes, licenses and permits, manna slip rentals, boat rentals etc. Our quality of life, quiet enjoyment and safety need to be put ahead of the minority of visitors or residents who happen to enjoy the experience. They can still enjoy it outside the harbor or in another harbor that is more compatible. It is not enough to regulate the activity- the Jetpack business hasn't followed the existing regulations and enforcement is not realistic. The alternate proposal that has been included in the most recent staff report today is offensive. One operator, let alone two at the same time in the same place is inappropriate. There is NO compatible place in Newport Harbor for this type of business. We urge you to follow the educated recommendation of the Harbor Commission and the vast majority of residents and harbor users and vote to ban ALL water propelled vessels above the surface of the water.

Unfortunately, there is NO emergency response plan for if and when a flyer crashes into someone else in harbor, injuring, killing or knocking them unconscious. What more is there to say? After months of study, debate, and hearings by the Harbor Commission and its ad hoc Committee, public comment, emails and letters, as well as City Council study sessions and meetings, no one on the City Council can pretend to be unaware that jetpacks pose an unacceptable safety risk to jetpack customers, but more importantly to the other users of the harbor. Under the Municipal Code, commercial activities that "create a hazard to safe navigation, or otherwise interfere with the rights of others to use the waters of Newport Harbor" should not be permitted. (Municipal Code, Chapter 17.10, Section 17.10.050, subsection D). Likewise, no one on the City Council can pretend that jetpacks do not create excessive noise and wakes that have significantly interfered with property owners' right to quietly enjoy their homes and businesses, as well as negatively impacted the public's right to enjoy beaches and the shoreline around the bay, free from the unremitting noise of jetpacks. (Mun. Code, Chap. 17.10, Section 17.10.050, subsection A [Commercial activity permits should not be granted if the activity is "likely to create noise which would adversely affect use or enjoyment of waters of Newport Harbor by members of the public, or interfere with the right of those who own property near the waters of Newport Harbor to the peaceful and quiet enjoyment of that property. "]). Much has been made of the fact Jetpack America has been in the harbor for several years, sort of a plea of entitlement as a successful "long- standing business." In view of the Municipal Code, however, granting Jetpack America's permit was a mistake in the first place. Cast in the best light, if the Harbor Resources Manager had realized the disruption and inherent danger to other harbor users, and the likelihood the excessive noise would impact everyone around the harbor, following the Code would have led him to deny the permit. The permit was granted, however, before we even knew what jetpacks were. Once we saw and heard them, the surprised and appalled property owners around the bay, the boaters, swimmers, and other harbor users had little recourse but to endure them. Not that we didn't protest. Harbor businesses and residents, and other users of the bay have complained about safety, noise, wakes and law- breaking by Jetpack America almost non -stop. We've written emails and letters and made phone calls to the Harbor Resource Manager and staff, Harbor Patrol, spoken at Harbor Commission meetings, and complained about jetpacks in City Council meetings. It obviously wasn't Jetpack America's sterling reputation in the harbor that prompted the City Council to study whether they belong here. Dismay and controversy have followed Jetpack America wherever it has gone in the harbor and for as long as it has been here. Unless the Council compounds the mistake and continues to ignore the City's Municipal Code, it cannot vote to continue to allow jetpacks in the harbor. It is unfortunate, however, that a review of the Staff Report in "support" of the proposed ban on jetpacks confirms prior suspicions that Jetpack America has something of an inside track on a "way to get to yes." Jetpack America's arrogant Operation Plan has a starring role in the Staff Report, and it contains many claims and promises. It confirms Jetpack America intends to operate just as it has been, all day, seven days a week, but also that it intends to add even more jetpacks to operate at the same time. Jetpack America promises to "instruct" its "pilots," presumably its customers, that they must fly under 5 mph in the harbor. In contrast, Jetpack America advertises that customers can fly 30 feet high and exceed 30 mph. Who is kidding who? Suggesting flyers who are instructed to stay at 5 mph will do so is laughable. After the first "training flight" when customers take the throttle and control their own speed, the entire objective is to fly as high and as fast as possible until they crash. Jetpack America certainly doesn't use the "kill switch" to stop them now from exceeding the speed limit, and I doubt it would commit to doing so in the future. Jetpacks belong in the ocean outside the harbor. Despite Dean O'Malley's claim he just can't make Jetpack America work outside the harbor, apparently another Jetpack business already operates successfully in the ocean. Jetpack America brags that its equipment works just as well in the ocean: "The Jetpack can operate in most weather conditions, including moderately high seas and moderate winds." (from Jetpack America's Operation Plan). The truth is Mr. O'Malley would just prefer to impose his operation on everyone else in the harbor rather than find a way to be successful and keep his customers safer out past thejetty. I urge the City Council to do the right thing and vote to banjetpacks in Newport Harbor. There is nothing charming about them. Thank you.

Although this is but a small sample of the views, we wanted you to have ready reference at your fingertips to clearly see that despite the claims of a very small minority of residents that these devices should be banned out of the harbor completely, we believe that the vast majority of Newport Beach residents want them to remain. We believe a plan allowing one operator to continue in the harbor under the previously proposed framework is the way to do that. We also believe the majority of residents of Newport Beach are firmly behind us in calling for this issue to be dealt with in a fair way so that all residents of Newport Beach and visitors alike will be able to enjoy and receive the benefits that jetpacking as a sport and business offers. If you have questions or issues you would like to discuss, please feel free to contact us directly.

I voted for you in the last election. I am contacting you to give my total support to the Jet Pack America operations on the bay. I have watched their operations since they started and I am impressed with their professionalism and care for the harbor. They are far more courteous on the bay than most trailer boaters "I meet up with on the bay. Just like the paddle boarders and kayaks, they give an important alternative for people who do not have boats, like you and I, to enjoy this wonderful public resource. I enjoy watching people observe the Jet Packers having fun on the bay, hoping they themselves can take advantage of this activity someday. The bay is for everyone and notjust the boaters or for the residents riving on the bay, who sometimes think they own the bay. The minority of city residents in the city who live on the shores of the bay should realize that the public owns the bay. The public has enjoyed the bay for far many more years than the residents short time of living there. We need to continue to support the public's use of the harbor as they ultimately pay for most of the costs to maintain it including dredging, cleaning, policing, and safety. 1 support the public's use of the bay.

In the last -10 years I've been able to witness new restaurants and business's emerge successfully because I believe we have fostered a community of people that encourage innovation. One of these business's is Jetpack America, I've been a shoreline spectator, and have piloted my own and I can wholeheartedly say that this is exactly what Newport represents. Safe, new and fun activities that draw the attention of visitors and keep the interest of those that live here. As a person that has skydived, scuba dived, and explored some of this worlds extreme adventures I don't take safety lightly. A few summers ago I had the pleasure of flying with Jetpack America, and as for someone that doesn't compromise their personal safety or that of others, I had no doubt that my flight with them would not only be safe but enjoyable. Since my first flight I have more of a keen eye on their day to day operations. Whether it be when I paddle board, bike ride or spend some time on a Duffy, I'm very aware of their presence in our harbor. Never once while I have been enjoying myself in the harbor have I felt that their operation put any other harbor adventurers in danger. If anything Jetpack America has accommodated all others in the harbor, to fulfill their safety standard and to stay consistent with Newport Beach's harbor etiquette. Everything from the video tutorial, educated flight staff, and instruction given by their team let me believe from start to finish that I was in good hands. For something that I felt was fairly new to my experience in water sports I was relieved to know that I was in such good hands. As a 10+ year Newport Beach resident I want to see Jetpack America stay, and ; want for everyone: resident and tourist to share in the safe, and one of a kind experience that I had flying with Jetpack America.

The company is cooperative with the locals and I would hope that my city council would allow us to enjoy the activities that living in such a city permits us. Unless the council is considering banning all motorized vehicles in the harbor that are much more distracting than this activity, I see no feasible reason to ban water - propelled vessel operation in the harbor.

These are the same visitors that then go spend money at other local establishments after visiting Jetpack America. A win - win for small businesses.

Now becasue of the fond memories of that special day my wife and I frequently come to the Newport Harbor to vacation over weekends with our family and plan on only doing it more often now that we are expecting our first child. It was my belief based on what has transpired on this issue to date that the idea that this activity would be banned outright was not at all likely. I believe an outright ban, like the recent fire ring ban, is not a well- reasoned and fair approach to dealing with an item such as this. As a Jetpack America supporter, I can attest to the quality of the operation and its unique draw for locals and tourists alike. The beauty of Newport Harbor is centered around the varied activities that can be enjoyed on the water, from sailboats to paddle boards and Duffy boats to jetpacks and wedding boats to waterfront dining. Allowing one responsible, city - regulated jetpack operator in a non - residential area of the harbor seems like a reasonable compromise for the city and its residents. While there have been some outspoken opponents of the jetpack operations in the harbor, they are a small minority. The vast majority of Newport Beach residents and tourists support this recreational activity, with many of us specifically seeking it out to either participate or share the experience with family and friends. Thank you for your consideration.

They operate professionally and are very respectful of their surrounding neighbors. In addition, they provide immense joy to both locals and tourists who decide to try the unique activity. I know from personal experience, it is one of the most fun things I have ever gotten to do and I am lucky enough to be able to share it with my friends who visit Newport Beach as well.

I believe it is a non - threatening, wonderful tourist attraction that is a great experience for locals and anyone visiting. I myself have done it and i am proud to say that it was here in my home town harbor that I got to enjoy the experience. I have heard so many great reviews and positive experiences with it. I believe that the cons (if you can call them that) to the Jet Packs being in Newport Harbor are highly outweighed by the pros. I would be very sad and embarrassed to have to tell people and tourists that Newport banned the wonderful attraction.

My name is Stephanie Pei and my sister. Lisa Pei, is a resident of Newport Beach. We love Newport Beach and the water sports that it offers to its residents and visitors. Frankly, I am shocked that the city would consider shutting down Dean's business. The business operates safely and respects its neighbors and visitors. I believe Jetpack America has helped boost business for its local bars and restaurants. It is popular to frequent the local pubs to watch the entertaining jet packers exercise in the harbor. I am a project manager at the Disney Studios and I've raved about this business to colleagues. I have shared videos and photos of my journey jet packing and it's led to Disney cast members to venture out to Newport Beach to check out the jetpacking, other water sports and restaurants. Jetpack America boosts Newport Beach's tourism and also keeps the city exciting and run. Let's do what we can to support our total businesses.

We've lived on South Bay Front for the last 12 years. We have a boat we keep at Newport Dunes that we use often on weekends. We see, and enjoy watching the Jet Packs all the time. I'm quite surprised to hear about these people complaining about them. The Jet Pack; have never been a problem to us or any of our boating friends. Why are these people not complaining about the REAL boating problems? The company's who rent out the electric boats and the little blue fishing boats, to people who have no clue to the boating rules. The tourists who rent SUP boards and go "hang around" right in the middle of busy water ways? They are the ones who create problems in the harbor, NOT the Jet Packs! IF something roust be done, give them boundaries, but, to force them to shut down their business is just wrong! I really hope the majority will learn what the real issues are in the harbor that need to be worked on. I don't think we need visitors Teaming that the City no longer allows such a fun experience we have to offer here in N.B. no longer exists.

I have been to Jetpack America several times and can assure you that the instructors keep you a good distance away from other boaters. I have also been on the opposite end, cruising a Duffy boat in the harbour and everyone I have been lnrith enjoyed watching them, they did not find them annoying or in the way. I am a Corona Del Mar resident and when I have friends or family come to visit it's one of the things I like to take them to see and /or do. It's on the "visit California" commercials so everyone is aware of it and very excited! think it's very sad that you are trying to shut down this local business and hope that it does not pass.

Not only as a spectator while cruising the bay on our boat..... we have also had the opportunity to be consumers of Jetpack America. I have enclosed a couple of pictures of my kids (ages 10 & B) flying with the Jetpack instructors. This was not only an exciting entertaining experience for both of my sons but it was also informational as they underwent a safety training, prior to taking fight, which focused on water /orating safety as well as operational safety. Jetpack America, in try opinion, has run an exceptional operation and is something the City of Newport Beach should be proud to have them a part of our comm unity, providing a unique bay experience for all ages. While the jetpack is certainly a non - traditional user of the harbor, it deserves fair use of its waters, just as the Duffy boats, paddle boards, kayaks, student sailing schools and mega- yachts enjoy. On the water, it is a matter of mutual respect. It is up to the individual boat owner to navigate around an inexperienced paddle boarder, just as it is the paddle boarder responsibility to move aside as a boat Passes through. The same applies to the jetpack. From what I have seen, the Jetpack America crew ensures that their customers keep a safe distance from the others out on the water. Newport Harbor is meant for the enioyment of residents and tourists, boaters and non - boaters, experienced users as well as inexperienced. The goal of the city should be to provide a safe, accessible environment for all users of the harbor and the goal of the users of the harbor should be coexistence, understanding that people have different ways of enjoying it. While there have been some outspoken opponents of the jetpack operations in the harbor, they are a small minority. The vast majority of Newport Beach residents and boaters on the harbor support this recreational activity, so please keep this in mind before banning it completely from the harbor.

I'm one of the employees working for Jetpack America and I'm out there on the water quite a bit. I think the noise used to be a legitimate problem before we changed our nozzles. They used to emit a loud screeching noise at various times, but now it's much quieter and the only thing that can be heard is the engine which is hardly noticeable. To put it into context, you can easily hear other people laughing and having a good time out on the water while hearing a slight lawnmower sound in the background. Spray and mist can be a problem especially when it's windy out, but it's manageable. Often time times it's a none issue because most of our customers are first - timers who don't fly that high, but even with returning pilots we're able to fly farther up wind so that the mist has time to dissipate. We rarely to never get complaints about mist because we are so diligent about staying upwind. Ideally, we would fly near the 18th St. beach since the channel runs parallel to the direction of wind and mist would never effect anyone. Of course, we have the noise complainer who lives at the 18th street beach and the American Legion to worry about in that area, but when we keep our customers directly in between these those two areas we have a pretty great flying location. I think the noise complainer at the 18th street beach has become obsessed about the Jetpack. I've spoken with him personally and he used to complain specifically about the "loud screeching noise" and that has since been resolved. Now I think he's just focusing too much attention on the Jetpack because now that it's quiet it seems that the sight of the Jetpack in front of his property is a problem. I know he works from home and he's there 2417, but the level of noise is identical to a vacuum cleaner and sounds just like lawnmower in terms of tone. In other words there's a slight humming noise that's extremely benign. Speed /wake is a non -issue and we've never gotten a ticket or even a warning from harbor patrol about that. Erratic flying and clogging up boat traffic might be a concern, but it's manageable. 9901. of the boaters on the water LOVE the Jetpack, take photos and cheer for our customers. We love those busy days with all the action out on the water and have come to accept that most boaters want to get close to the Jetpack to get a better look. We've found that by keeping our customers on the far side of the channel other boaters know not to come so close. Occasionally we'll have a customer who is struggling to learn the steering and they'll drift out into the middle of the channel where other boats are going by. When this happens boats will simply go around us and it's a non- issue. Occasionally, a boater, usually some crotchety old man, will think he has the right of way and will curse us to high heaven. I think it's REASONABLE for these boaters to understand and follow the RIGHT -OF -WAY LAWS which were set in place for exactly these situations. It's just basic boating etiquette. Worst case scenario, if our customer can't steer back to our flying area on the side of the channel, we'll pull them back over there with our JetSki. I think the jetpack can find a home in Newport Harbor, but it's going to take a little understanding on behalf of the old - school boaters. I think it's that 1 % that are so rigid and unable to yield. They think they have a right to drive their boats through anything in their path, but unbeknownst to them this harbor is a public space enjoyed by the other 99 %_ The 99% that I see are people who are laughing, smiling and having a great time. Newport Harbor loves the jetpack and it's very rare to find someone who doesn't. -James Gibeson Lead Instructor Jetpack America From: Edwin FAHLEN <edwins@me.com> Date: May 4, 2015 at 8:48:05 AM PDT To: DDixon @NewportBeachCa.gov, curryk @pfm.com, TPetros @Newpor[E3eachCa.gov, SPeot_t_er @NeyvportBeachCa.00v, EdSelich @roadrunner.com, KMuldoon @ NewportBeachCa.gov Cc: Tanya Fahlen <baiboaislandl_@gmai com> Subject: Water propelled vessels Dear council members, please consider this my request, as a Newport Harbor [gay front resident, that "water propelled vessels" are an asset to this harbor.

Your regulation efforts would be much better served, and appreciated on other issues within the city. i.e. on Balboa Island alone: 1. Dog feces on the walkway - in perpetuity. 2. Dog urine on the walkway - in perpetuity. 3. Dogs walking freely on the walkway - in perpetuity. 4. Vehicle drivers Complete failure to stop at stop signs - not even slowing down. Where is the traffic police even once in awhile while my 10 -year old granddaughter takes her fife in her own hands at EVERY STOP SIGN crosswalk except Marine Avenue. 5. VERY LOUD "party boats" 10:00 pm to 1:00 A.M. being the loudest times EVERY WEEKEND. i am NOT complaining about this, it is just a fact - (that the council ignores).

Whether it is waves, boating, sailing orJetPack America, all four should be viable activities to conduct on Newport Beach waters. I persona rly have had the exhilarating experience of flying around on a jet pack in "Newport Harbor. This was an unforgettable moment that I was able to share with my father and brother, who were visiting from Chicago. My father immediately shared his video with all of his friends back home and they were all instantly jealous! His friends mentioned how lucky my father was to be able to visit his son and take part in such an amazing activity. Something they dreamed they could do in Chicago. Dean C1Varley and his team of expertletpack friers were amazing to work withlThey were able to keep me in control my entire flying experience. Not once did l ever feel unsafe or out of control of the jetpack. The team kept me a safe distance from a ny water traffic in the harbor, even when other boats wanted to take pictures of us flying. I'm sure thousands of otherietPack America patrons would agree that this is an unforgettable experience, much like experiencing the City itself! 1 think the #1 rating on tripadvisor.comspeaks volumes about the activity and Jet Pack America as a local company.

So many of these beach front locals are pissed, yet easily blind -sided by these minor local issues, LE the 1 million+ boats now blocking their views. When is enough, enough? This now comes down to local basics and keeping our community alive within local businesses. We MUST keep small businesses alive to prevent our government from taking away any small business's dreams and keeping our own local city, let alone state alive a persevering! I am writing you this letter to show my direct support of Jetpack America to demonstrate that the vast majority of Newport Beach residents, as well as out of town visitors, are in support of allowing jetpacks to continue operating in Newport Harbor. It was my belief based on what has transpired on this issue to date that the idea that this activity would be banned outright was not at all likely. I believe an outright ban, like the recent fire ring ban, is not a well- reasoned and fair approach to dealing with an item such as this. As a Jetpack America supporter, I can attest to the quality of the operation and its unique draw for locals and tourists alike. The beauty of Newport Harbor is centered around the varied activities that can be enjoyed on the water, fron sailboats to paddle boards and Duffy boats to jetpacks and wedding boats to waterfront dining. Allowing one responsible, city - regulated jetpack operator in a non - residential area of the harbor seems like a reasonable compromise for the city and its residents. While there have been some outspoken opponents of the jetpack operations in the harbor, they are a small minority. The vast majority of Newport Beach residents and tourists support this recreational activity, with many of us specifically seeking it out to either participate or share the experience with family and friends.

Since there have been a small set of residents who have spoken at the council meetings, who have implied that they represent the views of all of the neighbors in their respective areas, we conducted our own door -to -door poll of three areas: 1) Channel Road on Lido Peninsula (closest residents to our current operating location in the Rhine Channel) 2) West Bay Ave (closest residents to our previous 18th Street Beach operating location) 3) Via Lido Blvd (closest residents to our previous Turning Basin operating location) Interestingly, what we found is that virtually every resident who was present when we conducted the poll is, in fact, supportive of our operation and/or against an outright ban. The attached Jetpack Flight Area Resident Map.pdf shows an overview of the West End of Newport Harbor where we operate, along with three insert maps showing the detail of the resident areas above. The green dots on the insert maps indicate supporters (signatures can be found on the attached petition) and the red dots indicate the residents who've made public comment against the Jetpack. We feel the map demonstrates that the vast majority of residents are in support of our operation. If the residents who are closest to our operating location are in favor, who are supposedly the most negatively impacted due to noise, wake, disruption, etc., we have to believe that most residents across greater Newport Beach would also be in support of our operations.

I strongly urge you to listen to the recommendations of the Harbor Commission as well as the PRIOR VOTE by the council. Please vote to ban these machines as they are not safe. We can only wait for the day that someone runs into another boat or dock. The bay is too dense for these operations. We have Charter operations, many paddle board rental companies as well as pontoon boat rentals. Summer is starting and with that we will have at least 4 Yacht clubs as well as City of Newport Beach sailing classes on the bay. We have far too many mooring fields which leaves very little open water. Isn't the speed limit 5 mph? These machines go in excess of 5 mph at any time. Each jet propelled machine has 2 support vessels. There is a jet ski which supplies the water as well as a pontoon boat which has the instructor on board and any passengers. Anyone that has seen these operations cannot miss the fact that they are a hazard. I urge you to vote to ban all operations.

From: Mark Serventi [ mailto :woodysnewoort(@vahoo.com) Sent: Monday, May 11, 2015 1:11 AM To: Dept - City Council Subject: Jet Pack Vote Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council, I own a waterfront restaurant on the harbor and I wanted to express my support for the Jetpack operator. They have been operating on an almost daily basis in front of my restaurant, Woody's Wharf, for quite a while. They have been good neighbors to Woody's and have referred customers to us to watch their clients fly over the water. In addition to referring business to Woody's and other area businesses, they bring people to the harbor area. These are visitors that may not experience the harbor in another way. As probably the closest neighbor to the bulk of their activities, if there was a negative impact we would see it. Any noise from the Jetpack is minimal and much less than the ambient noise in the area. I haven't seen any activities that would be considered dangerous. We have NEVER had an issue with their operation. Woody's has been contacted by a group of residents asking that we join their petition to ban the Jetpack. We refused. This small, but vocal group of residents are misguided in their attempt to eject the Jetpack operation from the harbor. I believe that there complaints are unfounded. I would encourage you to vote to ALLOW the Jetpack business to operate on the harbor.

The response is apparently to just change the law so constituents have even less to say concerning a Council decision with widespread negative effects. Attachment F of the City Staff Report contains a Redline Draft of Alternative NBMC Sections which if adopted, will give the City Council absolute power to grant commercial activity permits forjetpacks or any other kind of commercial activity in the Harbor, with no required vetting by the Harbor Resources Manager or Harbor Commission and no right to appeal the City Council's decision. Under Title 17 of the Municipal Code (the Harbor Code) as it stands now, applicants for a commercial activity permit in Newport Harbor file an application with the Harbor Resources Manager. The Harbor Resources Manager consults, as appropriate, the Community Development Department, Public Works Department, Harbor Commission or other City departments, the Orange County Sheriff's Harbor Patrol /Marine Operations Bureau, and possibly inspects the vessels, marine sanitation devices, boarding facilities, parking and other upland support facilities. In other words, the Harbor Resources Manager conducts a thorough investigation of the proposed commercial activity to determine whether it should be allowed in Newport Harbor. Under the current Harbor Code the applicant has the right to appeal the decision of the Harbor Resources Manager to the Harbor Commission, and then if a Council member requests, can appeal further to the City Council. Alternatively in some cases, an applicant can request a hearing with an independent hearing officer, whose decision is final. Under the proposed changes to the Harbor Code, applicants can continue to file an application with the Harbor Resources Manager, but as revised, the applicant can alternatively file an application for a commercial activity permit directly with the City Council. The City Council can approve the permit outright, with no vetting required and no right to appeal. Jetpacks and the like have special treatment in the proposed Harbor Code revision. Those applications cannot be subjected to the vetting process by the Harbor Resources Manager. The Harbor Resources Manager shall refer any application for a vessel powered or maneuvered by means of air or water propulsion directly to the City Council, which has the option to approve it with nothing further. The City Council may refer, but need not, the application to the Harbor Commission for review and a recommendation, but not to the Harbor Resources Manager charged with investigating other potential commercial activities. The Harbor Resources Manager will still be allowed to vet and approve commercial activities using all other types of vessels; that is, unless the applicant files the application with the City Council, which can grant the permit without vetting of any kind. if the City Council approves a permit for any commercial activity in the Harbor, including jetpacks, its decision shall be final and there is no right to appeal. What is going on here? Has the controversy overjetpacks convinced certain members of the City Council or the City Staff that the Council knows better than the businesses, residents and harbor users who object to jetpacks? Have they decided the Council should be permitted to make decisions, with no right to appeal, permitting any kind of commercial activities in the Harbor without benefit of consultation with the City's career Harbor Resources Department officials and employees, as well as the other City departments and Harbor Patrol that have had input into the Harbor Resources Manager's vetting process? Perhaps in the view of some there's no longer any need for the Harbor Resources Department or the Harbor Commission, which is filled with residents with harbor and marine experience, since the Council is more qualified to make decisions on its own. Sadly the proposed changes to the Harbor Code appear to be a power grab to streamline the commercial activities permit process so the Council can have its way, without the inconvenience of a lengthy investigation or input by qualified administrative bodies or constituents, and best of all, insuring no rights to any pesky appeals. I respectfully request that the Council refuse to grant itself such unfettered authority over commercial activities in Newport Harbor. The Harbor belongs to all of us, not just to the seven members of the City Council. The proposed ordinance is an embarrassment and doesn't reflect proudly on anyone behind it.

Dean O'Malley of Jetpack America is a client of my law firm, Foley & Lardner LLP, where we have done work for him relating to jetpack intellectual property issues. Mr. O'Malley did not ask me to write this letter to you - I volunteered because I am a friend of his, and because I am concerned that the City of Newport Beach would be making a bad decision for residents and visitors by prohibiting, rather than regulating, water - propelled jetpacks. letpacks Are An Important New Industry That Should Be Regulated - Not Banned Some members of your Council may be under the mistaken impression that jetpacks are a recent fad - more of a nuisance than a legitimate business enterprise. Please allow me to undo any such misimpression. Jetpacks arc a multi - million -a -year dollar industry that has erupted in popularity across the entire world, and stands poised to be the next big thing in water sports. In my legal practice, I am seeing patents being filed in the U.S. and in foreign countries claiming intellectual property rights in all forms of vectored- thrust water sports technologies. Cities like Dubai hold enormously popular jetpack tournaments to showcase the latest equipment and athletes. Famed designers and inventors from around the world are redirecting their energies and attention to this new industry, which was thrust from obscurity into the international spotlight in only a few short years. The situation we are in right now can be analogized to the first arrival of snowboards on ski slopes several decades ago. The ski resorts that understood what was happening and embraced the snowboard industry saw a dramatic return in both popularity and profits, while other ski resorts fell behind the curve. You Can Use Maryland's jetpack Regulations As Precedent You may have hesitated to undertake the effort of drafting a set of jetpack regulations because you do not have any precedent for such rules. Allow me to make a suggestion. The State of Maryland has seen an enormous increase in the popularity of jetpack sports at Ocean City, which, like Newport Beach, consists of an enclosed waterway connected to the ocean. In 2014, Maryland undertook a comprehensive effort to draft a model set of jetpack regulations, both for Ocean City, and for other waterways and lakes in the State. They did this based on extensive input from law enforcement, the Coast Guard, local residents, and the jetpack operators. The consensus was that jetpacks were a safe (and profitable) enterprise that could be regulated just like any other water sport. While not yet finalized, Maryland's draft regulations can serve as a model to your Council for how government and citizens can come together to reasonably regulate - rather than ban - this important, burgeoning water sports industry. It is only a matter of time 2 before the major waterfront tourist destinations of the Carolinas, Florida and Texas adopt regulations like these. It seems to me that your city would want to be at the forefront of this endeavor, especially given the tourist dollars that are at stake. Jetpack America Is Your Ideal Business Partner Finally, with respect to Jetpack America's operations, you will not be able to find a better business partner to work with in this new industry than Dean O'Malley. He is a Southern California native who left a job at JP Morgan to start a new business in Newport Beach. He is loyal to your city, has incredible respect for the community, and has impeccably high standards for safety and quality in his business. If you turn him away, you will have lost the ideal person to manage jetpack operations in Newport Beach. Whoever inevitably arrives in the future will be a poor replacement, and your city will have lost valuable time by then. In closing, I urge you to appreciate the jetpack business for the important new water sports industry that it is, and to vote to adopt a reasonable set of regulations to govern its operation in your city.

Whoever inevitably arrives in the future will be a poor replacement, and your city will have lost valuable time by then. In closing, I urge you to appreciate the jetpack business for the important new water sports industry that it is, and to vote to adopt a reasonable set of regulations to govern its operation in your city. Sincerely, Jean -Paul Ciardullo, Esq. 4812 - 4923 - 7263.1 Received After Agenda Printed May 12, 2015 Item No. 17 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Pam Whitesides Date: May 11, 2015 Re: Petition to ban jetpacks in Newport Harbor Attached are additional signatures of Newport Beach residents, harbor business owners, and people who work in and around the harbor in support of the petition to ban all jetpacks inside Newport Harbor. Their reasons vary depending on their experience with Jetpack America., but include problems navigating safely around jetpacks, observing the dangerous jetpack maneuvers around kayakers, SUPers and swimmers, the disruption of their work place or residence from the continuous jetpack noise, and unpleasant and uncooperative interactions with Jetpack America's operators. Please add these signatures to the 146 you have already received, with more to come. Thank you. Honorable Mayor Ed Selich and Newport Beach City Council Members, We, the undersigned users of Newport Harbor and/or residents of Newport Beach, support your decision at the City Council Meeting on April 28 to create an ordinance to ban .Jet Packs and other related water propelled vessels above the surface of the water inside of Newport Harbor. City Staff, a Harbor Commission Ad Hoc Committee, and the Harbor Commission held numerous public meetings where they solicited testimony, experiences, and feedback regarding the compatibility of water propulsion vessel operations with other uses in Newport Harbor. The Harbor Commission concluded that the water propulsion vessels were incompatible with the interests of all users of the Harbor, including recreational and commercial boaters, visitors and residents alike. To ensure the safe and enjoyable access to all users of Newport Harbor, the Harbor Commission unanimously recommended a ban on all water propelled vessels above the surface of the water inside Newport Harbor. The Council should follow that recommendation. This isn't about whether or not there are supporters for the sport and industry of Jetpacking. And it isn't about whether or not Jetpack is a quality operation or a draw. It is about whether or not the sport is appropriate and compatible within Newport Harbor. There is a distinct lack of available space in the harbor to accommodate water propulsion vessels given the unique operational characteristics (e.g. separate vessels for power, for holding the user as well as other vessels for slaging, staff and loading purposes). They are spread out over 100 feet, impact access in navigational channels and are an unnecessary hazard to safe navigation. They interfere with other user's in the harbor and endanger users as well as other persons within and around Newport Harbor. Because the goal is to fly high and fast, both commercial and private operations regularly violate speed restrictions in the harbor and create unsafe environments. In addition, despite the fact that the monitoring vessel has a kill switch, the Jet Pack Flyer has regularly ended up where he or she shouldn't be (e.g. in the middle of the beer can races, 2 ft. away from a child kayaker, in the way of commercial operations, etc.). Because of the size and configuration of the basins and channels in Newport Harbor, there is no appropriate location for this type of activity. The Jet Pack type businesses create noise and wakes which impact boats, docks, piers and other users of the Harbor. This adversely affects the use or enjoyment of the waters of Newport Harbor by members of the public and it interferes with the rights of those who own property on or near the waters of Newport Harbor to the peaceful and quiet enjoyment of that property. Jet Pack type businesses conflict with the "Purpose" of the Harbor Code as defined in Title 17 of the Municipal Code. These businesses also do not fit the goals, objectives and policies of the Harbor and Bay Element of the General Plan. Marine activities must not adversely affect the health, safety or welfare of those who use, enjoy, or own property near Newport Harbor. Newport Beach Municipal Code Section 17.20.060 prohibits recreational and commercial vessels powered or maneuvered by air, above the surface of the water in the harbor; vessels powered nr maneuvered by water should be no exception. We need to preserve the charm and character of our harbor and are calling on the Council to pass the ordinance banning the operation of vessels propelled by water above the surface of Newport Harbor. It's the right thing to do.

The jetpacks create constant engine noise and I have to keep my south facing windows closed when they are in operation so I can work. During this past weekend, the company often had two jetpacks in operation at the same time. I have heard that there are complaints from boat operators and paddle boarders of near collisions. I find the constant noise to be disturbing and I ask you to vote in favor of the ordinance to ban them from the harbor.

Clearly, Jetpack support is almost exclusively from its customers, employees, and attorneys who have financial interests, business interests, and biases towards Dean O'Malley and Jetpack. Much of the purported support is in the form of boilerplate entails resulting from the Facebook social media campaign, launched by Dean O'Malley and Jetpack, in order to attempt to garner support to be utilized to curry favor with the City Council. In multiple emails, I have advised of real concerns about this inherently dangerous operation. Mr. O'Malley and his followers, including his legal counsel, even now have not addressed the issues of safety, noise pollution, and liability risk. For the record, I have no financial interests in this matter. I do not represent anyone connected with this matter. I have no business interests with anyone connected with this matter. I simply would like to see this City Council make the right decision and protect Newport Beach residents and those properly using Newport Bay. Please make this email a part of the public record in this matter.

I trust you will not bow to such tactics. If such tactics are allowed to be successful, this would be a poor precedent as you struggle with important issues in the future. In previous emails, I have raised important issues and community concerns about Jetpack operations. Your own committee advised you to ban such operations after a study that took months of hard work to complete. Many of you have now personally witnessed the excessive noise levels and safety hazards which should cause you to vote to ban such operations. Those of you who have voiced support for allowing such operations have ignored requests to provide the basis for your support. You were asked to weigh any benefits to the City of Newport Beach, including city revenue generated by Jetpack, against safety risks, liability concerns, and noise and quiet enjoyment concerns of residents and those using Newport Bay. I note that Sunday's Daily Pilot reported that Mr. Curry still supports allowing what Jetpack's CEO, Dean O'Malley, admitted in interviews with the Daily Pilot, the Orange County Register, and in the liability waivers Jetpack customers must sign, is an inherently dangerous operation. If the Daily Pilot accurately reported Mr. Curry's intended vote, I expect that he will first consider the suggested risk/reward analysis. Then, if he still intends to vote to find a way to support a continued Jetpack operation as he suggested, I again request that he be transparent and state his complete reasons for doing so, including his private contacts with Dean O'Malley and others associated with Jetpack, as part of the public record in this matter. Any others of you who continue to support this inherently dangerous operation should do the same. You have promised transparency and fiscal responsibility. As you know, Jetpack already settled a lawsuit for negligently injuring one of its own customers in Newport Bay. The $100,000 settlement resulted from a lawsuit which luckily did not name the City of Newport Beach as a defendant. No insurance policy or indemnification and hold harmless agreement will fully protect the City of Newport Beach in the event governmental tort claims are made or if the City is named in future lawsuits. If you have been advised otherwise, I suggest that you ask to obtain a written coverage opinion, containing such a guarantee and indemnification agreement, fully protecting the City of Newport Beach. My law office has specialized in insurance litigation for 25 years. No knowledgeable attorney or risk manager in this field will provide such a guarantee, because no such guarantee can be reasonably given. It is likely that any future personal injury, property damage, or death claims, resulting from Jetpack accidents, will include claims against the City of Newport Beach. It is also very possible that insurance coverage issues will arise if the City of Newport Beach makes future claims under its own liability coverage or under a Jetpack liability coverage where the City might be named as an additional insured. I fear that serious injuries or death could result if Jetpack operations are allowed to continue. Even if the City could be protected from liability exposure, you are well aware of these risks. If you vote to allow this inherently dangerous operation to continue, and a tragic accident occurs to an innocent victim who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, how will you feel about your vote then? I am not able to attend the City Council meeting on Tuesday due to a conflict. However, you know how I feel. Please include this email as part of the public record in this matter. Thank you.

It is unfortunate, but the scuttlebutt in Newport Beach is that any continued City Council support for the Jetpack operation stems from non - public back room meetings and agreements with Dean O'Malley and Jetpack. If this is untrue, I once again invite each of you to set the record straight. As I previously advised, I received an email advising that Dean O'Malley met privately with members of the City Council in order to privately lobby support for his Jetpack operation.

If this "protection" has been promised by the city attorney's office, or by "risk management," ask what guarantees they can make which alleviates liability exposure. They cannot.

Mr. O'Malley's Facebook campaign encourages his friends and customers, whether Newport Beach residents or not, to click a box which shoots emails to you. The obvious intent is to curry favor with you in support of his operation. I trust you will not allow important local government decisions to be swayed by biased and self - serving Facebook social media campaigns. It may be unfortunate, but as a result of Mr. O'Malley's conduct, residents in opposition now feel compelled to obtain resident signatures supporting the Council's reasoned decision to ban Jetpack operations. These may be provided to you in the near future. This resident concern stems from the fact that Mr. Curry was not present at the last City Council meeting, and that he may again attempt to support Mr. O'Malley and sway the vote on this matter. He showed initial support for Mr. O'Malley's operation despite the independent Council authorized committee's determination that such operations should be banned. Mr. Curry provided no reasoning to support his position, which he voiced at the Study Session regarding this matter, immediately after hearing the committee's presentation concluding that such operations are too dangerous and should be banned. Most of you campaigned with promises of fiscal responsibility and local government transparency. My prior emails directly dealt with concerns regarding lack of transparency in the City's dealings with Mr. O'Malley. My prior emails also dealt with fiscal issues involving the decision on future Jetpack operations. Clearly, the safety concerns, risks of injuries, risks of deaths, risks of property damage, and the potential resulting liability to the City of Newport Beach, along with the noise pollution which is unfair to residents, far overshadow any potential fiscal benefit to the City of Newport Beach. I trust that the City Council will not be bullied into a bad decision based on a Facebook social media campaign. This would evidence shallow reasoning and would be a bad precedent for future decision making by this Council. If any of you, including Mr. Curry, have any continued interest in supporting this inherently dangerous operation in Newport Harbor, which has little fiscal value to the City of Newport Beach, I again invite you to be transparent and state your reasons.

Without input from you, the public can only speculate as to what fiscal value, if any, the City of Newport Beach might receive by condoning and licensing an inherently dangerous Jetpack operation. Do any of you know? Has any study been done? The current operator has admitted, in newspaper accounts reported by the Daily Pilot and Orange County Register, that his business is inherently dangerous. This fact is further evidenced by release agreements Jetpack customers are required to sign. What potential fiscal value will result from sanctioning a continued Jetpack operation? How do you balance this potential income against the risks of injury, death, and resulting liability to the City of Newport Beach? And, as to potential liability, can the City Attorney conclude that there is no liability risk to the City of Newport Beach, in the event you license an inherently dangerous business, in disregard of the Committee Report from a Committee established by the City Council, which concluded that such a business is too dangerous for Newport Bay?

Because most of you call yourselves fiscal conservatives, I trust you intend to permit revenue generating businesses where the potential fiscal revenue which might be generated is not trumped by the risks and potential negative effects to the city and its residents. If statements regarding the current Jetpack operation are true, that operation provides an average of 8 -12 rides on a good summer operational day and an average of 1 -4 rides during operational days in the winter months. Each ride apparently averages approximately $150. Based on an estimate of 260 operational days per year, estimated annual gross revenue is $195,000. Please correct me if you understand differently, providing the basis for the numbers you understand to be correct. The City of Newport Beach should receive a modest annual business license tax payment. Additionally, the city should receive sales tax revenue on an estimated $195,000 in gross sales. Without taking into consideration any administrative fees and costs, and assuming the city receives the entire 8% of $195,000 in gross sales, the estimated sales tax revenue resulting from continued operation of a single Jetpack operator in Newport Beach totals only an estimated amount of $15,600. Some of you might speculate that Jetpack customers will spend money at other businesses in Newport Beach. I am aware of no study to support such speculation, or to determine any amount typically spent which would not have been spent but for a customer's Jetpack ride. One would have to speculate to say that other Newport Beach businesses would lose a dime because of banning current Jetpack operations or by limiting such operations to ocean areas outside of Newport Bay. If you are aware of studies to the contrary, please let me know and provide copies of such studies. You all have duties and obligations to your constituents.

I have been communicating with Chris Miller, the Newport Beach Harbor Manager, and I am aware of the upcoming study session scheduled for 2/24/15. Though I will not be able to attend, I would appreciate it if my concerns set forth herein are taken into consideration. I have first hand knowledge that the Jetpack America operation has been a hazard to boaters and allows dangerous maneuvers by Jetpack America participants and staff. I have seen it for myself, and when contacting the Harbor Patrol to report unsafe conduct, was advised to contact the City. I have fast hand knowledge of Jetpack America's past illegal use of public beaches to pick up and drop off passengers and to post signs to advertise its business. I propose that the City of Newport Beach not permit commercial Jetpack operations. I further propose that private operators not be allowed in Newport Bay. They are unreasonably and inherently dangerous to the both the operators and to other boaters. The Orange County Register, on 6/25/14, reported the $100,000 settlement of a lawsuit against Jetpack America by a customer hurt in Newport Bay. The City of Newport Beach was not a party to that lawsuit. As a plaintiffs attorney, I can assure you that the City risks governmental tort claims and litigation by condoning and permitting continued operations of this kind. I recently asked Chris Miller if the City had reviewed and considered obtaining a legal opinion regarding the liability waiver utilized by Jetpack America. I understand that a copy of the liability waiver has not been obtained or considered. Is it binding? Does it protect the City from wrongful death claims, personal injury claims, or property damage claims should claims be made against the City for allowing and issuing a business permit to a commercial business conducting an inherently dangerous operation in Newport Bay? Can the City rely on governmental tort immunities for protection against such claims and lawsuits? Bay front residents have voiced numerous complaints regarding the noise pollution created by the 7etpack operation. At a City meeting I attended, a solution proposed was to constantly move the operation around the Newport Bay, thus bothering everybody at times, but nobody all of the time. I think such a "solution" will lead to constant irritation and complaints to the City. Nobody wants the operation in front of his or her house. I do not know if consideration has been given to the effect such operations have on bird and sea life. I would imagine that such effects should be considered by the Council if there is any thought of allowing such operations in the future. Thank you for your consideration.

Our home has been "in the family" since 1960. We live very close to the bay, at 18th St. We have a mooring right off of 18th St. so we access our boat by launching our kayaks, or our sabot, at the launch site on the bay at 18th. We also spend a lot of time relaxing on the bay beach as it is often a lot more peaceful there than on the beach. I'm writing this on Mon. afternoon, after just now watching a segment on the news concerning complaints about Jetpack America, as they conduct their business in the bay. The Jetpack business has been very disturbing to us, for several reasons. Not only is the noise extreme, when they are so close to shore..or..when we are on our boat BUT they don't seem to have any consideration for others using that area. With many stand -up boards and kayaks launching at 18th, there is a lot of activity in that area of the bay. My brother was visiting last summer and he went out in one of our kayaks, when the jetpack boat was using that area. They came so close to him that their wake capsized his kayak. It was very exhausting but he was able to board the kayak, while in the water, with no assistance from those who caused him to capsize. I think it is VERY dangerous to allow them to work in that area, with all of the activity. Those on the stand -ups, especially, are often beginners without the ability to avoid the unpredictable movements of the Jetpacks, who don't seem to recognize any right -of -way rules.

If Jetpack America's inconsideration, and the dangers that are already apparent, are happening now... imagine how that will multiply once Marine Park is open. FRIGHTENING, huh!!

We have seen many clients fly over the water in front of our restaurant; which has always been very exciting to watch. Many customers have come to the restaurant to watch family members fly, while eating. This is in addition to referrals from Jetpack. These visitors come from all areas of the world and this is a unique way to experience Newport Harbor. We have never had a complaint from a customer and the noise is less than the ambient noise in the area. Watching customers fly it is apparent that Jetpack maintains a high level of safety. The complaints from elderly residents seem unfounded. Jetpack is a business that provides a unique experience to visitors that many other locations cannot. San Diego advertises this type of event to lure visitors to their harbor. Why would the City Council vote to remove this type of visitor experience? I would encourage you to vote to ALLOW the Jetpack business to operate on the harbor.

As the Staff Report Discussion section accurately states, Newport Harbor- home to thousands of vessels that occupy water space at residential piers, commercial marinas and through an extensive network of mooring fields- is a regional hub for stand -up paddling, kayaking, sailing, and similar harbor uses. It is mind - boggling that anyone could argue that the water - propelled vessels are compatible with these uses. They are noisy, create wakes and exceed speed limits in a no -wake harbor- that is the nature of the activity and it is unrealistic that it can be controlled. They also impact safe navigation and impede traffic in our harbor's navigational channels by occupying a large footprint in one area for an extended period of time versus the normal flow of users moving from point A to point B in our channels. How can you allow ANY business to usurp part of the harbor for their operation like this ?! The Alternative Path is ill- conceived and will change the face of our beautiful harbor forever. Even limiting one commercial operator's use area to the Turning Basin between Lido Marina Village and the PCH area flies in the face of the Municipal Code which prohibits any commercial activity likely to create noise which would adversely affect the use or enjoyment of the waters of Newport Harbor by members of the public, or interfere with the rights of those who own property near the waters of Newport Harbor to the peaceful and quiet enjoyment of that property. The City spent a great amount of time and money on a concept plan for the revitalization of Lido Village. Now the property owners have embarked upon a major renovation and are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to bring that concept to life. Part of this includes more open waterfront access and views for offices, shops and restaurants by moving the commercial party boats from in front of the Village. Allowing the Jetpack type business to operate off Lido Village flies in the face of this intent. And imagine the surprise of the new leaseholders! Who wants this in front of their business and what customer wants to listen to the noise when they are dining at any of the new restaurants on the Village boardwalk. Who wants their view obstructed by fliers in the air, the accompanying jet skis and a pontoon boat sitting out there instead of the moving, changing tranquil scene that has always otherwise existed. The noise carries on the water and will impact residents, businesses and 1 restaurants alike all around the turning basin. The Alternative Plan Ordinance also opens the door to air propelled vessels (which are currently banned and should remain banned), and Jetpack America's Operation plan calls for multiple fliers at the same time. It just makes no sense! Jetpack America does not comply with the Municipal Code requirement that any commercial applicant must satisfy the applicable standards of the United States Coast Guard, or City, County, State or Federal requirements of law. Their operational plan states that they are working with the US Coast Guard to create a limited license for jetpack instructors that will satisfy the new Coast Guard regulation that requires all jetpack instructors to have Operator Uninspected Passenger Vessel (OUPV) captain's licenses. If the Coast Guard requires a captains license, then the instructors should not be allowed to operate in or outside the harbor without one. Our particular harbor is not compatible with the Jetpack type businesses. These businesses operate in the open ocean all over the world and that is where they belong in Newport Beach. Please pass the ban.

Whether it is waves, boating, sailing or JetPack America, all four should be viable activities to conduct on Newport Beach waters. I personally have had the exhilarating experience of flying around on a jet pack in Newport Harbor. This was an unforgettable moment that I was able to share with my father and brother, who were visiting from Chicago. My father immediately shared his video with all of his friends back home and they were all instantly jealous! His friends mentioned how lucky my father was to be able to visit his son and take part in such an amazing activity. Something they dreamed they could do in Chicago. Dean O'Malley and his team of expert jetpack fliers were amazing to work with! They were able to keep me in control my entire flying experience. Not once did I ever feel unsafe or out of control of the jetpack. The team kept me a safe distance from any water traffic in the harbor, even when other boats wanted to take pictures of us flying. I'm sure thousands of other JetPack America patrons would agree that this is an unforgettable experience, much like experiencing the City itself! I think the #1 rating on tripadvisor.com speaks volumes about the activity and JetPack America as a local company.

They used to emit a loud screeching noise at various fines, but now it's much quieter and the only thing that can be heard is the engine which is hardly noticeable. To put it into context, you can easily hear other people laughing and having a good time out on the water while hearing a slight lawnmower sound in the background. Spray and mist can be a problem especially when it's windy out, but it's manageable. Often time times it's a none issue because most of our customers are first - timers who don't fly that high, but even with returning pilots we're able to fly farther up wind so that the mist has time to dissipate. We rarely to never get complaints about mist because we are so diligent about staying upwind. Ideally, we would fly near the 18th St. beach since the channel runs parallel to the direction of wind and mist would never effect anyone. Of course, we have the noise complainer who lives at the 18th street beach and the American Legion to worry about in that area, but when we keep our customers directly in between these those two areas we have a pretty great flying location. 1 think the noise complainer at the 18th street beach has become obsessed about the Jetpack. I've spoken with him personally and he used to complain specifically about the "loud screeching noise" and that has since been resolved. Now I think he's just focusing too much attention on the Jetpack because now that it's quiet it seems that the sight of the Jetpack in front of his property is a problem. I know he works from home and he's there 2417, but the level of noise is identical to a vacuum cleaner and sounds just like lawnmower in terms of tone. In other words there's a slight humming noise that's extremely benign. Speed/wake is a non -issue and we've never gotten a ticket or even a warning from harbor patrol about that. Erratic flying and clogging up boat traffic might be a concern, but It's manageable. 99° %of the boaters on the water LOVE the Jetpack, take photos and cheer for our customers. We love those busy days with all the action out on the water and have come to accept that most boaters want to get close to the Jetpack to get a better look. We 've found that by keeping our customers on the far side of the channel other boaters know not to come so close. Occasionally we'll have a customer who is struggling to learn the steering and they'll drift out into the middle of the channel where other boats are going by When this happens boats will simply go around us and it's a non - issue. Occasionally, a boater, usually some crotchety old man, will think he has the right of way and will curse us to high heaven. I think it's REASONABLE for these boaters to understand and follow the RIGHT -OF -WAY LAWS which were set in place for exactly these situations. It's just basic boating etiquette. Worst case scenario, if our customer can't steer back to our flying area on the side of the channel, we'll pull them back over there with our JetSki. I think the jetpack can find a home in Newport Harbor, but its going to take a little understanding on behalf of the old - school boaters. I think its that 1 %that are so rigid and unable to yield. They think they have a right to drive their boats through anything in their path, but unbeknownst to them this harbor is a public space enjoyed by the other 990/.. The 99% that I see are people who are laughing, smiling and having a great time. Newport Harbor loves the jetpack and its very rare to find someone who doesn 't. -James Gibeson Lead Instructor Jetpack America 'rnro: Dan Burt dno t )cros coax Please support Jetpack America Via. -._.C.

Not only as a spectator while cruising the bay on our boat...., we have also had the opportunity to be consumers of Jetpack America. I have enclosed a couple of pictures of my kids (ages 10 & 8) flying with the Jetpack instructors. This was not only an exciting entertaining experience for both of my sons but it was also informational as they underwent a safety training, prior to taking flight, which focused on water /boating safety as well as operational safety. Jetpack America, in my opinion, has run an exceptional operation and is something the City of Newport Beach should be proud to have them a part of our community, providing a unique bay experience for all ages. While the Jetpack is certainly a non - traditional user of the harbor, it deserves fair use of its waters, just as the Duffy boats, paddle boards, kayaks, student sailing schools and mega - yachts enjoy. On the water, it is a matter of mutual respect. It is up to the individual boat owner to navigate around an inexperienced paddle boarder, just as it is the paddle boarders responsibility to move aside as a boat passes through. The same applies to the Jetpack. from what 1 have seen, the Jetpack America crew ensures that their customers keep a safe distance from the others out on the water. Newport Harbor is meant for the enjoyment of residents and tourists, boaters and non - boaters, experienced users as well as inexperienced. The goal of the city should be to provide a safe, accessible environment for all users of the harbor and the goal of the users of the harbor should be coexistence, understanding that people have different ways of enjoying it.

We 've lived on South Bay Front for the last 12 years. We have a boat we keep at Newport Dunes that we use often on weekends. We see, and enjoy watching the Jet Packs all the time. I'm quite surprised to hear about these people complaining about them. The Jet Packs have never been a problem to us or any of our boating friends. Why are these people not complaining about the REAL boating problems? The company's who rent out the electric boats and the little blue fishing boats, to people who have no clue to the boating rules. The tourists who rent SUP boards and go "hang around" right in the middle of busy water ways? They are the ones who create problems in the harbor, NOT the Jet Packs! IF something must be done, give them boundaries, but, to force them to shut down their business is just wrong! I really hope the majority will learn what the real issues are in the harbor that need to be worked on.

I believe It Is a non - threatening, wonderful tourist attraction that is a great experience for locals and anyone visiting. I myself have done it and I am proud to say that it was here In my home town harbor that I got to enjoy the experience. I have heard so many great reviews and positive experiences with It. I believe that the cons (if you can call them that) to the Jet Packs being in Newport Harbor are highly outweighed by the pros. I would be very sad and embarrassed to have to tell people and tourists that Newport banned the wonderful attraction.

In the past few years that Jetpack America has been operating, I have never seen any of their activity as a disturbance to the area. They operate professionally and are very respectful of their surrounding neighbors. In addition, they provide immense joy to both locals and tourists who decide to try the unique activity. I know from personal experience, it Is one of the most fun things I have ever gotten to do and I am lucky enough to be able to share it with my friends who visit Newport Beach as well. If you haven't already, you should give jetpack fight a try. Please keep Jetpack America in operation. Sincerely, Corinne Schnieders F;xm, MARY ntary9C- "vRro4flty'.

Thank you, Josh Hanson _m Eddie Iralvislavalky Sabje�: JET PAC America Date: April 29, 2015 at 7:09 PM cor , g'w:' Members of the Newport Beach City Council, I am writing you this letter to show my direct support of Jetpack America to demonstrate that the vast majority of Newport Beach residents, as well as out of town visitors, are in support of allowing jetpacks to continue operating in Newport Harbor. I personally have a special connection with Newport thanks to JETPAC America, with the help of Dean and the jetpack family I was able to propose to my now wife while riding a jetpack. Now becasue of the fond memories of that special day my wife and I frequently come to the Newport Harbor to vacation over weekends with our family and plan on only doing it more often now that we are expecting our first child. It was my belief based on what has transpired on this issue to date that the idea that this activity would be banned outright was not at all likely. I believe an outright ban, like the recent fire ring ban, is not a well-reasoned and fair approach to dealing with an item such as this. As a Jetpack America supporter, I can attest to the quality of the operation and its unique draw for locals and tourists alike. The beauty of Newport Harbor is centered around the varied activities that can be enjoyed on the water, from sailboats to paddle boards and Duffy boats to jetpacks and wedding boats to waterfront dining. Allowing one responsible, city-regulated jetpack operator in a non-residential area of the harbor seems like a reasonable compromise for the city and its residents. While there have been some outspoken opponents of the jetpack operations in the harbor, they are a small minority. The vast majority of Newport Beach residents and tourists support this recreational activity, with many of us specifically seeking it out to either participate or share the experience with family and friends. Thank you for your consideration.

It is a reflection of the continuous attention and courteousness given by the instructors and personnel of Jetpack America to their fellow neighbors. Having conducted many departures from John Wayne airport in Boeing, Airbus and other aircraft, I am keenly aware of noise restrictions and decibel levels. With respect to noise from the jetpack, whether it is on the jetpack, on the pontoon or on the beach close to the operation, I can attest that the noise level is lower than a jet departing John Wayne airport flying overhead or some high - powered boat such as a Scarab passing by. The noise from the jetpack operation is minimal and not any higher than other watercraft currently operating in Newport Harbor. One additional benefit towards Newport Beach and the harbor is that I visit the area with my family and friends much more often and this provides additional revenue to the restaurants and business'. I live in Huntington Harbor, so I have a harbor in by own backyard but because of Jetpack America, I now visit your harbor and area much more often.

We had a great time and the staff was so nice, helpful and accommodating. We would love to have the ability to do it again in the future. I really hope this company is given the opportunity to serve other people like us as well. I honestly don't know how this can possibly disturb the residence of Newport. It isn't loud, it doesn't even take up much space In the bay, and it brings more revenue to the city.

I would like to voice my encouragement for the company to continue as it is a marketing highlight for the area. As a tourist who visited Newport Beach and found Jetpack to be a truly memorable experience. I returned home and told all I knew about the experience. I find it strange that someone would complain about any noise level associated with the ride as I was amazed at how quiet it was considering the machine was pushing enough water to push me high in the air. I would hope that a few voices of disagreement would not remove the greater good of this service to the area and making Newport Beach that much more original and a must visit.

Whether it Is waves, boating, sailing or Jet Pack America, all four should be viable activities to conduct on Newport Beach waters. I have known Dean O'Malley for over 10 years and have no greater respect for anyone. Creating Jet Pack America was an awesome move for the City of Newport Beach as well as tourists that visit the City. Having made sure that It was safe (my wife's interests!) both she and I and 2 of our 4 children have flown and our little ones (2 & 4) both can say they want to Jet Pads. At no point in time were we concerned for safety both on the device, around boats, or in air flying with Dean (kids). In my opinion, I don't believe this in any way shape or form would be a nuisance to Iota! communities. if anything it would be the splash when my 260 Ibs hfF the water,-) 1 would strongly encourage Council to keep Jet Pads America conducting business in Newport Beach, keep the other companies that want lo, OUT and let both Dean and JPA thrive in your local business community. Take the time to meet with Dean and you will we the energy and passion he has for the business and its patrons, while respecting the code of conduct in the best beach city in America.

JetPack America has grown to be an important part of the Newport Beach Identity and one that brings excitement and amazement to the area. It's undeniable that both tourist and locals alike love to see a person flying through the air via water propulsion (It was even shown on a tax paid commercial to promote CAtourism). As I am sure many of you are fans of the outdoors, Jetpack is another avenue for us to enjoy Mat Newport has to offer (beautiful weather and waters). Same as riding a beach cruiser down the boardwalk or surfing at the Wedge, JetPack is one of the fun things we can do in Newport. But Ike any new sport gaining popularity (Skateboarding in the 70s, etc), there are challenges In regards to how the community and the sport can work together to coexist. 1 understand the concerns regarding safety and especially raise for the residences In the area. However both of them can be more easily resolved wthkr reason without having to ban. 1. Safety - I have flown and 1 have a serious fear of heights. But never did 1 fear for my safety. The equipment is study, secure, and extremely safe. The instructors are professionals and safety is their number one concern. With helmet and role, the instructors are helping guide us to not enjoy the ride, but to ensure we navigate the jetpack safely. And If there ever was an instance where the participant was unsafe, they have the ability to take full control. Even though I felt I was in control, the Instructors were always in control and kept me and my friends safe from other boaters (still nor not). 2. Noise - Noise disturbances are inevitable in a high traffic high tourist destination. Noise levels can be heard from boats, jetskis, etc. Noise levels at night with those who enjoy the nightlife can be at times Intolerable as well. But we do not shut those business down for that. If noise levels are a problem for those residences closer to the operation, JetPack can move to avoid dense residential areas. That is a happy medium and compromise versus a full ban. Once again 1 hope you allow JetPack America to stay apart of the wonderful Newport community. Thank you for taking the tine to read my email and note my feeltrgs regarding this matter.

I am currently employed with letpack America Las Vegas, located in Pahrump, NV., approximately one hour northwest of Las Vegas, NV. I have witnessed first hand the more amenities a city/State has the more tourism rate increases, thus, revenue increases. That's especially true when said amenities are not just singled out for adults, but extend to children as well as those with physical disabilities. letpack America prides itself on safety and providing fun and entertainment for all, which is why we have such a large returning customer base. letpack America Las Vegas is located next to businesses, and soon to be restaurants and housing and has never received a noise complaint. That's do in part to the controlled output and movement of the jetski and the jetpack itself. Like all letpack America locations, noise pollution is minimal and does not interfere with its surrounding. Sincerely, Michael Horn letpack America - Las Vegas Fwm.

As a new staff member here the first thing I saw the professionalism from the jet pack crew, how their first and main priority is safety, they train all of us to the fullest extent! Out of all the days I've been here, there honestly hasn't been one incident. The reason why is because all our instructors are trained to prevent that from even happening, I'm not an instructor yet because I have to go through all the steps to get there. What i am saying is that we as jet pack america are not some beach guys with a jet pack, we are trained professionals teaching people taw to fly safely and have funi When it comes to the sound pollution, all the sound is of the jet ski, I know we have had it tested and there isn't any more noise because of the jet pack, the water is just flowing through the hose. when it comes to jet pack america we are first in this business people want to fly with us be apart of us. where our actual lake is, is in a little town about an hour out side of Las Vegas. Even all the way out here people have been coming from all over to fly with us, people in Michigan where there is a jet pack company but they come out here to fly with us because they are getting the best experience flying With us. Jet pack america does bring in a lot of people to our city and to all the places that are around us. I want to tell you this story and I'm sure your hear it again, we flew this guy who was 22 and he has cerebral palsy. You could tell he didn't get out much and he wasn't able to really do anything. The awesome thing, because of jetpack America we were able to give him the best experience of his life, the pictures that we have of him is a smile from ear to ear! We personally in all our locations want to continue to do that for all types of peoplel I thank you for your time and please just rethink this whole situation!

Not only as a spectator while cruising the bay on our boat..... we have also had the opportunity to be consumers of Jetpack America. I have enclosed a couple of pictures of my kids (ages 10 & 8) flying with the Jetpack instructors. This was not only an exciting entertaining experience for both of my sons but it was also informational as they underwent a safety training, prior to taking flight, which focused on water /boating safety as well as operational safety. Jetpack America, in my opinion, has run an exceptional operation and is something the City of Newport Beach should be proud to have them a part of our community, providing a unique bay experience for all ages. While the jetpack is certainly a non - traditional user of the harbor, it deserves fair use of its waters, just as the Duffy boats, paddle boards, kayaks, student sailing schools and mega - yachts enjoy. On the water, it is a matter of mutual respect. It is up to the individual boat owner to navigate around an inexperienced paddle boarder, just as it is the paddle boarders responsibility to move aside as a boat passes through. The same applies to the jetpack. From what I have seen, the Jetpack America crew ensures that their customers keep a safe distance from the others out on the water. Newport Harbor is meant for the enjoyment of residents and tourists, boaters and non - boaters, experienced users as well as inexperienced. The goal of the city should be to provide a safe, accessible environment for all users of the harbor and the goal of the users of the harbor should be coexistence, understanding that people have different ways of enjoying it. While there have been some outspoken opponents of the jetpack operations in the harbor, they are a smau minority. i ne vast majority or ivewport beach resiuents dire ooaters on the naroor support tors recreational activity, so please keep this in mind before banning it completely from the harbor.

I've been a customer of Jetpack America for nearly 2 years now and find them to be a wonderful business and community partner both in Newport Beach and San Diego. In addition to bringing family and friends out to see the jetpack in Newport Harbor which results in patronage for other local businesses, I've recommended the business and visits to Newport Beach to numerous friends and business partners when they've been in the Southern California area. All have given it and the visit to Newport Beach which was driven by the location of Jetpack America glowing reviews. Having flown the jetpack myself for several years now, I struggle a bit to understand the concern the local residents have with Jetpack America, especially when compared to some of the much louder and larger activities in the harbor.

I am a Corona Del Mar resident and when I have friends or family come to visit it's one of the things I like to take them to see and /or do. It's on the "visit California" commercials so everyone Is aware of it and very excited! I think IFS very sad that you are trying to shut down this local business and trope that it does not pass.

The water propelled jetpacks are a completely unique, fun and safe attraction for local residents and tourists visiting Newport Harbor. The attraction is highly rated (5 stars) on Trip Advisor and Yelp. Allowing Jetpack America to stay in the harbor ensures its variety and allows people the opportunity to try other activities than the standard paddle - boarding, jet - skiing, and pontoon boat rentals. The publicity generated with media and news stories brings attention and to the area, which benefits the local merchants including restaurants, bars, hotels, retail outlets and more. Many of the employees at Jetpack America are local Newport Beach residents with long -time ties in the community. They have demonstrated their responsibility and commitment to maintain a safe and comfortable environment for everyone. I hope you make the right choice at your meeting on May 12 and vote for the continuation of the Jetpack America operations in Newport Harbor.

My family and I visit Newport Beach every year, and for the past 3 years, we've enjoyed multiple jetpack experiences. Should the City elect to shut down this GREAT Newport Beach experience, we will simply reschedule our week long vacation (we stay at The Island Hotel) and head on down to San Diego, where their city leaders clearly recognize a cool tourist draw when they are handed one.

Asa former resident and operator I have seen the positive influence the company has had on thousands of people. I've seen the sheer Joy on the face of a double amputee after his flight, or the look of aw and wonder on a child's face as a flyer dove underwater. I understand your concern for the happiness and safety of your full -time, permanent, residents. I fully believe a win win solution could be had in order to keep such a wonderful asset in New Port beach. Let's work together to innovate a solution that's beneficial to every party involved instead of It being situation where one party wins and the other loses. The devastation that would be had on behalf of the employees if you were to shut them down would not be worth it when we can work hard to come up with a solution. These employees are proud of their jobs and for many of them it's all they have.

My wife and I made the trip to Newport Beach specifically for this experience. We ate lunch there, did some shopping and had a great time. Honestly, I am baffled about the hullabaloo regarding Jetpack's "disruption.” We stayed in a SMALL area of the bay with just one flyer at a time. I would say noise was minimal. We have friends who are now wanting to make the trip down there to enjoy the same experience.

I've been a customer of Jetpack America for the last two and a half years and I've probably been there 50 to 60 times, bringing maybe 40 different friends. We've never had trouble with any of the other ships or residents in the marina, in fact, since I've gotten pretty good at it, people on the boats seem to like it. More than a few times, a tour guide has turned the boat around so tourists can have a better look and say hi while I'm flying. I usually wave and do some tricks, they take pictures, sometimes cheer (not to brag), and then they go their merry way. I live in Hollywood so it takes me about an hour to get there, but I love it because I make it into a mini vacation in Newport. I usually take the whole day off and go to the beach, have lunch or dinner etc, especially when I go with friends. I really hope you guys allow Jetpack America to keep operating. There's really no other place in the area where we can do it, and it's really the only reason me and my friends drive down to Newport once or twice a month.

I live In Los Angeles and do not otherwise come to Newport Harbor. Since I discovered jetpack flying with Jetpack America, I have spent at least two weekdays a month in the Newport Harbor area, usually bringing at least one friend, and often 3 or 4. My family, friends, and I now have several favorite restaurants right around the Jetpack America offices, and I have enjoyed bringing dozens to them. We all look forward to spending more time and enjoying more meals and shopping in the harbor, provided Jetpack America remains permitted to operate in Newport Harbor.

We have truly enjoyed this beautiful Harbor and watching people excited to engage in various boating options, jet skiing, kayaking and harbor cruises... even those entertaining folks trying to "fly over water" with Jetpack! We have been very impressed with all the various entertainments offered within Newport Harbor, quality of operations, and their trying to work with residents and businesses over the years. Jetpack does offer a unique experience that Is hard to find and we hope their operation will receive a permit renewal. We know safety is paramount and some concerns have been raised, but their is always risk with any water sport and we have only seen that Jetpack makes every effort to safely train and are vigilant in their supervision of this tun experience. Perhaps, too, their operations can be rotated between 2 -3 designated locations so that the same residents or businesses feel less impacted by a single operator? Then Jetpack can still remain in business while providing another fun, unique Newport experience for enthusiastic visitors. We appreciate and value any business who works hard to be sensitive to all concerns, yet helps bring quality recreational options, awareness and support of the wonderful resources we are all privileged to share in Orange County.

I personally have a special connection with Newport thanks to JETPAC America, with the help of Dean and the jetpack family I was able to propose to my now wife while riding a jetpack. Now becasue of the fond memories of that special day my wife and I frequently come to the Newport Harbor to vacation over weekends with our family and plan on only doing it more often now that we are expecting our first child. It was my belief based on what has transpired on this issue to date that the idea that this activity would be banned outright was not at all likely. I believe an outright ban, like the recent fire ring ban, is not a well- reasoned and fair approach to dealing with an item such as this. As a Jetpack America supporter, I can attest to the quality of the operation and its unique draw for locals and tourists alike. The beauty of Newport Harbor is centered around the varied activities that can be enjoyed on the water, from sailboats to paddle boards and Duffy boats to jetpacks and wedding boats to waterfront dining. Allowing one responsible, city- regulated jetpack operator in a non - residential area of the harbor seems like a reasonable compromise for the city and its residents. While there have been some outspoken opponents of the jetpack operations in the harbor, they are a small minority. The vast majority of Newport Beach residents and tourists support this recreational activity, with many of us specifically seeking it out to either participate or share the experience with family and friends. Thank you for your consideration.

My family and I have enjoyed the sport, which has become the only reason we go to Newport Beach any more (went occasionally when the kids were small to visit the island). While there, we spend the day shopping and dining. I understand some of the residents are concerned with the noise level, but I am somewhat perplexed by this position. A single jetski, which is idling much of the time for any beginners or riders learning new techniques, doesn't seem to me to emit much noise. And if that is the only concern, perhaps the hours of operation should be limited to those hours when people are out and about and noise levels escalate from traffic, pedestrians, motor boats, etc. Please consider retaining this wonderful sport which brings additional revenues to your city through not only the operations of Jet Pack America, but through the dining and shopping that is combined with a day in Newport Beach!

Twice I have driven all the way from Ventura County with friends to participate in this fantastic adventure. Both times, my friends and I spent the entire day down in Newport Beach visiting the various business' along the harbor and having meals. That is the only reason we go to Newport Beach, as it is too far to go there for anything else. The operators have always been respectful of the other business' and boaters around the harbor, and made sure to not be in their way. I belong to a non - profit club that currently has 400+ members who are very active adults ( Conejo Ski and Sports Club). I am on the board of this club and run many activities for this club. I have been working with the board to approve a large group activity to bring any where from 25 -75 club members to the Newport Harbor to participate in the Jetpack America, and then spend the remainder of the day frequenting business and having dinner in the area. In a time when many business' are just recovering from the recession, it is not wise to eliminate a business in the harbor that brings an enormous amount of business to the area.

I actually find it offensive that a small group of residents can ban a legitimate business operation like this for what appears to be such trivial concerns. They have operated safely for years, and are a benefit to the residents of southern California and to tourists like myself. I hope calmer minds prevail, and consider the broader implications of what shutting down an operation like this sets as a precedent. A enormous investment has been made, and this has certainly had a positive economic impact on the visibility and desirability of Newport Beach as a fun and lively destination.

Hello, I am disappointed to hear that the city council is interested In removing Jetpack America from operating in the Newport Beach Harbor. I myself have bought a flight package and had a really good time. I invited my mother and sister to come fly with me even though they were a little scared to try. After arriving I was greeted by a very friendly and helpful team in the office to prepare us with flight training a proper harbor flying rules. During the flight, the Instructor said it was very important to stay away from all boats, paddleboarders and kayakers and to abide the 5mph speed limit. I had a helmet on with radio contact from the instructor to remind me to keep a good distance away from boats and sate flying techniques to prevent me from hurting myself. The staff on the water helped my mother and sister in the water through the whole flight returning to the office with huge smiles and confidence. I would strongly suggest voting for Jetpack America to stay in the Newport Beach harbor and I hope to bring some friends back to fly very soon this summer.

My family does not own a boat, but we enjoyed the water recreation that Jetpack America provides. It's a thrill to be on the harbor and enjoying what everyone else knows - that the harbor's unique proximity to so many people offers water recreation for ordinary Joe's like myself. My family had a safe and enjoyable time. It would be a shame and bring negative attitudes to Newport Beach that if the right people complain about someone else's fun then by God, let's squash the opportunity to have fun and cater to the small number of people and their exaggerated complaints. This operation does not operate at night or in the early morning hours. This is a working harbor and I feel that the operation is not more noisy or distracting than many others out there.

Please accept this letter as a vote of direct support for Jetpack America maintaining its permitted status to operate In Newport Harbor From: Greg Mohr yrag'0 gondola ,com &4 inject Letter from Gondola Adventures, Inc. Otte: May 12, 2015 at 1 :00 AM To: daan(Ai taa(Aamenca.c:om To whom it may concern: As the owner of Gondola Adventures in Newport Beach, I am quite familiar with Jetpack America, and have operated on the water alongside them since 2012. Any time the jetpack operation is in our area, our gondoliers make a point to include a spin around it as part of their route. Our passengers love watching the flights. I've personally rowed my gondola right next to the staging boat, and have found it safe and quiet. The loud carousing of passing rental Duffy boats is much more distracting than the quiet flow of the water -jet. My company also operates in Irving, Texas and on Lake Las Vegas in Henderson, Nevada. In Henderson, we share the water with another jetpack operation with similar amicable arrangements, and we would welcome a jetpack operation in our Texas location - this sort of company brings in lots of customers who in -turn spend time and money at other businesses such as ours. I have also personally flown with Jetpack America. The staff was warm and professional - handling my experience in an expert way. At the time they didn't know me from any other customer, and had no idea we were neighbors. It was a great experience, which I will never forget. Water - propelled jetpack activities are well- supervised and very safe. With the incorporation of a waterproof headset, there's no shouting, and the pilot is always able to hear the instructor's directions. This is one of the best and fastest growing water activities; it belongs in a place like Newport Beach, and I hope that it stays.

I have used the Jetpack on 2 different occasions and had so much fun. I understand that there is a vote to determine whether or not Jetpack can remain in business due to "excessive noise" and "disturbing the community." I am baffled by these complaints. Each time I paid to used Jetpack, there have been large parties with live music at the American Legion and large balcony parties that appear to be held at a bar near Woody's Wharf. The amount of noise, excessive drinMng, and disruption from these locations is much greater than any complaint coming against Jelpack. I would never complain about either parties because we need fun outiets that each of these venues provide. After all, this is Newport Beach which attracts tourists and creates thowbruot atmosphere that wm all look for |n beach cities or Southern California. Furthermore, Jetpack does a fantastic job with choosing hours of operation that are respectful to locals, unlike many late night bars that are local m the area. I just can't imagine shutting down a business that is good for Newport Beach, tourism, and business due to a few locals (at best) who have a problem with the minimal noise and disruption that JomPaokcreates. Please allow JetPack to remain In business. California Is aready difficult enough to operate successful small businesses. Let's not chase away what wm all know wneeded. Thanks for your time.

Look, I know I don't live in Newport Beach but I did the jet packs one time and I don't understand why there's an issue with them in the harbor. They don't cause any wake problems, they operate within an area large enough so they aren't in anyone's way, and d seemed like all the boaters who went by enjoyed seeing the spectacle of those who were using the device. Oh, and as for any noise factors, It's no louder than anyjet skis or waverunners and certainly quieter than a neighbor's lawn mower. Give these folks a pass. They're operating a business that is providing revenue into your cltys coffers without hurting anybody. That's just my opinion. Sincerely, Robert J.

I'm a frequent visitor to Newport Beach and wanted to send you a quick e-mail expressing my support for allowing Jetpack to operate in Newport harbor. In particular, Jetpack America has proven to be extremely respectful, responsible and has fully enriched the culture of Newport Beach with fun and energy. Whenever I have family or friends visit me from out of town, we always make a point to plan a day in Newport and everyone goes for a Jetpack ride. They have become a staple for the harbor and an memorable activity for all that visit. Their priority is safety and are constantly aware and move their operation to avoid dense residential areas. I myself have flown with them and was very impressed by their continuous awareness of their surroundings and extensive safety procedures. Thank you for your time and consideration to keep Jetpack in Newport Best, Katie Dunn Sent from my (Phone From, Bill Whitaker bill. w,OiJakei 1,1 gmoil,cem Suf�ject.

I have flown with Jetpack America and I can attest to the fact that they always put the safety of everyone first. They ensure that operator and bystanders are at a safe distance from any type of objects (moving and non - moving) so as to keep everyone safe. They will never jeopardize the well -being of any single person and in fact will move to a different location or postpone flying if needed for safety reason. in addition, the noise generated by the Jetpack is of minimal concern. if you have been down to the harbor you will have noticed first hand that it does not create any significant noise. In fact I would attest that the boats and general traffic in Newport create more noise than any Jetpack. Activities such as Jetpack America are one of the many things that make Newport Beach such a wonderful place. It adds another great activity available to not only the residents, but just as importantly, the tourists that seek out this unique city. I am a current resident of Newport Beach and would be incredibly upset if Jetpack America were forced to close their operation, especially when the majority of people that I have come across enjoy seeing it as part of the diversity Newport Beach offers.

Kind regards, Jean -Paul Ciardullo, Esq. FOLEY& LARDNER LLP 555 South Flower Street, Suite 3500 Los Angeles, CA 90028 (213) 972 -4544 Dear City Council Members: I am a resident of Los Angeles and a frequent visitor to the City of Newport Beach. Dean O'Malley of Jetpack America is a client of my law firm, Foley & Lardner LLP, where we have done work for him relating to Jetpack intellectual property issues. Mr. O'Malley did not ask me to write this letter to you - I volunteered because I am a friend of his, and because I am concerned that the City of Newport Beach would be making a bad decision for residents and visitors by prohibiting, rather than regulating, water - propelled jetpacks. Tetpacks Are An Important New Industry That Should Be Regulated - Not Bann Some members of your Council may be under the mistaken impression that jetpacks are a recent fad - more of a nuisance than a legitimate business enterprise. Please allow me to undo any such misimpression. Jetpacks are a multi- million -a -year dollar industry that has erupted in popularity across the entire world, and stands poised to be the next big thing in water sports. In my legal practice, I am seeing patents being filed in the U.S. and in foreign countries claiming intellectual property rights in all forms of vectored - thrust water sports technologies. Cities like Dubai hold enormously popular Jetpack tournaments to showcase the latest equipment and athletes. Famed designers and inventors from around the world are redirecting their energies and attention to this new industry, which was thrust from obscurity into the international spotlight in only a few short years. The situation we are in right now can be analogized to the first arrival of snowboards on ski slopes several decades ago. The ski resorts that understood what was happening and embraced the snowboard industry saw a dramatic return in both popularity and profits, while nfhar cki racnrfe fall hahinrl fha rnrva You Can Use Maryland's Jeipack Regulations As Precedent You may have hesitated to undertake the effort of drafting a set of jetpack regulations because you do not have any precedent for such rules. Allow me to make a suggestion. The State of Maryland has seen an enormous increase in the popularity of jetpack sports at Ocean City, which, like Newport Beach, consists of an enclosed waterway connected to the ocean. In 2014, Maryland undertook a comprehensive effort to draft a model set of jetpack regulations, both for Ocean City, and for other waterways and lakes in the State. They did this based on extensive input from law enforcement, the Coast Guard, local residents, and the jetpack operators. The consensus was that jetpacks were a safe (and profitable) enterprise that could be regulated just like any other water sport. While not yet finalized, Maryland's draft regulations can serve as a model to your Council for how government and citizens can come together to reasonably regulate - rather than ban - this important, burgeoning water sports industry. It is only a matter of time before the major waterfront tourist destinations of the Carolinas, Florida and Texas adopt regulations like these. It seems to me that your city would want to be at the forefront of this endeavor, especially given the tourist dollars that are at stake. Jetpack America Is Your Ideal Business Partner Finally, with respect to Jetpack America's operations, you will not be able to find a better business partner to work with in this new industry than Dean O'Malley. He is a Southern California native who left a job at JP Morgan to start a new business in Newport Beach. He is loyal to your city, has incredible respect for the community, and has impeccably high standards for safety and quality in his business. If you turn him away, you will have lost the ideal person to manage jetpack operations in Newport Beach. Whoever inevitably arrives in the future will be a poor replacement, and your city will have lost valuable time by then. In closing, I urge you to appreciate the jetpack business for the important new water sports industry that it is, and to vote to adopt a reasonable set of regulations to govern its operation in your city.

They have been operating on an almost daily basis in front of my restaurant, Woody's Wharf, for quite a while. They have been good neighbors to Woody's and have referred customers to as to watch their clients fly over the water. In addition to referring business to Woody's and other area businesses, they bring people to the harbor area. These are visitors that may not experience the harbor in another way. As probably the closest neighbor to the bulk of their activities, if there was a negative impact we would see it. Any noise from the Jetpack is minimal and much less than the ambient noise in the area. I haven't seen any activities that would be considered dangerous. We have NEVER had an issue with their operation. Woody's has been contacted by a group of residents asking that we join their petition to ban the Jetpack. We refused. This small, . but vocal group of residents are misguided in their attempt to eject the Jetpack operation from the harbor. I believe that there complaints are unfounded.

Understanding there is a vote as it relates to this Issue at the forthcoming May 12th meeting, I'd respectfully like you to please consider the following: • Jelpack America is a very popular recreation among individuals, families and businesses. Accordingly, there should be at least one operator in the harbor. • Both my wife and I have personally flown Jetpack America and can attest to how meticulous and thorough the staff H with respect to safety. I fell extremely secure as a result of the significant amount of time 1 spent with all staff members prior to and in preparation for my flight. When flying, I was always an extremely safe distance from boaters and others engaging in other recreational activities. The staff ultimately contributed immensely to the overall wonderful, safe experience I had with Jetpack America. • Jetpack America moves their operation to avoid dense residential areas. Irrespectively, I would never characterize the operation as noisy or disturbing. • Jetpack America is owned /operated by a responsible business leader; in my view an individual that one she be proud to have as part of the Newport community • Entrepreneurship and small businesses are the lifeblood of this economy and communities like Newport Beach. We should be in full support of these types of businesses, especially those like Jetpack America which are so Incredibly popular (this type of recreational experience has received local, regional and national media attention, and once you've either seen someone fly on TV or experienced it yourself, it's popularity is self - evident). I appreciate your attention and consideration to this important issue.

But what the peninsula is truly about is the enjoyment of the beach and the water. I regularly enjoy leisure boating and paddle boarding |n the harbor. One m the great things about the harbor is watching all the people enjoy their various activities while retaining a mutual respect for the water and space. The multiple clutly's, paddle boards, kayaks, cruise boals, tube fishers, jet packers all having fun while being safe. To single out u businesslike Jet Pack America that represents the unique identity m the peninsula |oo crime. The hundreds °/ thousands o, people that flock to Balboa In the summer and support local businesses and create generational memories of the beach, bafboa bars, Charlie's Chill, Crab Cooker, Ferris wheel, John Wayne, The Wedge, body boarding and the legendary surf.

In the last 10 years I've been able to witness new restaurants and business's emerge successfully because I believe we have fostered a community of people that encourage innovation. One of these business's is Jetpack America, I've been a shoreline spectator, and have piloted my own and I can wholeheartedly say that this is exactly what Newport represents. Safe, new and fun activities that draw the attention of visitors and keep the interest of those that live here. As a person that has skydived, scuba dived, and explored some of this worlds extreme adventures I don't take safety lightly. A few summers ago I had the pleasure of flying with Jetpack America, and as for someone that doesn't compromise their personal safety or that of others, I had no doubt that my flight with them would not only be safe but enjoyable. Since my first flight I have more of a keen eye on their day to day operations. Whether it be when I paddle board, bike ride or spend some time on a Duffy, I'm very aware of their presence in our harbor. Never once while I have been enjoying myself in the harbor have I felt that their operation put any other harbor adventurers in danger. If anything Jetpack America has accommodated all others in the harbor, to fulfill their safety standard and to stay consistent with Newport Beach's harbor etiquette. Everything from the video tutorial, educated flight staff, and instruction given by their team let me believe from start to finish that I was in good hands. For something that I felt was fairly new to my experience in water sports I was relieved to know that I was in such good hands. As a 10+ year Newport Beach resident I want to see Jetpack America stay, and I want for everyone; resident and tourist to share in the safe, and one of a kind experience that I had flying with Jetpack America.

I voted for you in the last election. I am contacting you to give my total support to the Jet Pack America operations on the bay. I have watched their operations since they started and I am impressed with their professionalism and care for the harbor. They are far more courteous on the bay than most trailer boaters 1 meet up with on the bay. Just like the paddle boarders and kayaks, they give an important alternative for people who do not have boats, like you and I, to enjoy this wonderful public resource. I enjoy watching people observe the Jet Packers having fun on the bay, hoping they themselves can take advantage of this activity someday. The bay is for everyone and not just the boaters or for the residents living on the bay, who sometimes think they own the bay. The minority of city residents in the city who live on the shores of the bay should realize that the public owns the bay. The public has enjoyed the bay for far many more years than the residents short time of living there. We need to continue to support the public's use of the harbor as they ultimately pay for most of the costs to maintain it including dredging, cleaning, policing, and safety. I support the public's use of the bay. I support continued use of the bay by Jet Pack. Sincerely, Rae L. Price 1521 Cumberland Ln District 3 resident (949) 584 -7030 From. cMherine rudst cathciiro Svb�ect Fte:JetpackAmeriGa Date.: May 6,2015atlOA7Pk4 Cc: dLar,:s +pacisatnzrlcas:om To the Newport Beach City Council, Not only am I a small business owner of TWO companies in Newport Beach, CRWellnessCor carp and GotGreenGrinks_com? I'm dumbfounded by this awesome company being brought into council. WE MUST SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESS OWNERS! WE ARE THE 1 % IN AMERICA WHO DRIVES LOCALS AND TOURISTS. DON'T RAIN ON YOUR OWN PARADE, then take it away! Wasn't the last new docking tax for the million+ water front homeowners enough? ... Even those who only own a Duffy? So many of these beach front locals are pissed, yet easily blind -sided by these minor local issues, I.E the 1 million+ boats now blocking their views. When is enough, enough? This now comes down to local basics and keeping our community alive within local businesses We MUST keep small businesses alive to prevent our government from taking away any small business's dreams and keeping our own local city, let alone state alive a persevering! I am writing you this letter to show my direct support of Jetpack America to demonstrate that the vast majority of Newport Beach residents, as well as out of town visitors, are in support of allowing jetpacks to continue operating in Newport Harbor. it was my belief based on what has transpired on this issue to date that the idea that this activity would be banned outright was not at all likely. I believe an outright ban, like the recent fire ring ban, is not a well- reasoned and fair approach to dealing with an item such as this. As a Jetpack America supporter, I can attest to the quality of the operation and its unique draw for locals and tourists alike. The beauty of Newport Harbor is centered around the varied activities that can be enjoyed on the water, from sailboats to paddle boards and Duffy boats to jetpacks and wedding boats to waterfront dining. Allowing one responsible, city - regulated jetpack operator in a non - residential area of the harbor seems like a reasonable compromise for the city and its residents. While there have been some outspoken opponents of the jetpack operations in the harbor, they are a small minority. The vast majority of Newport Beach residents and tourists support this recreational activity, with many of us specifically seeking it out to either participate or share the experience with family and friends. Thank you for your consideration. I will be at the council meeting, Sincerely, CRWellnessCorp and Got Green drinks?

I am very supportive of this business being able to continue to use the harbor and see no legitimate reason for it being forced to close operations. It is very safe, with very experienced staff offering assistance for new users (like myself!). The staff was aware of the surroundings and avoided residential areas and other boaters. All I hear is positive feedback from friends who have also tried this service, and I've never heard of any negative issues surrounding this business, so I'm a bit confused on why this is even up to vote Please listen to the majority's stance on this topic, which I believe is clearly in favor of this business being able to continue to use the harbor as a headquarters for its operations.
