Volume 62 - Page 279 City of Newport Beach Study Session and Regular Meeting May 12, 2015 SS7. FY16 Operating Budget Overview Finance Director Matusiewicz provided a PowerPoint presentation of the FY 2015 -16 Proposed Budget overview. He addressed revenues and expenditures within the General Fund and all other funds, budget principles, Charter requirements, FY 2015 -16 General Fund revenue sources and assumptions, assessed valuation, sales tax, and Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). He presented details of the City's guiding principles, which include providing the municipal government that residents demand, providing safe and secure neighborhoods, keeping Newport Beach looking great, and maintaining a prosperous, fiscally sustainable, and economically viable City. Finance Director Matusiewicz addressed FY 2015 -16 expenditures, savings for future needs, changes in full -time staffing, salaries and benefits, the accelerated Ca1PERS payment schedule, and Other Post - Employment Benefits (OPEB). He reported on maintenance and operations, the Capital Improvement Program (CIP),. and keeping a balanced approach by balancing the allocation of resources between current amenities, services and debt repayment strategies. He presented the recommendation to have a balanced approach to surpluses, and discussed the checklist items. Regarding the Old Newport/West Coast Highway Modification CIP projects that staff would like deferred, Public Works Director Webb indicated that staff is working with OCTA to grant the project. He further explained that it is broken into two segments as there are different funding sources. Deputy Public Works Director Vukojevic stated that staff assumed that the City would receive a grant this fiscal year but, since a grant has not been received, it will not be included in the budget. However, if the City receives a grant, staff will return to Council to request an appropriation for the grant. Finance Director Matusiewicz requested that Council consider the fiscal impacts of new initiatives that are brought to the table and presented examples. He addressed additional policing on the Peninsula, the unfunded Corona del Mar Entryway Project, proposed mooring rent reduction, recent budget activity and next steps. In response to Council Member Petros' question, Finance Director Matusiewicz explained unfunded obligations relative to the increased OPEB liability of $10 million from the new actuarial standard (ASOP 6). Mayor Pro Tem Dixon commented on maintenance and operations, and stated she would prefer having increased visibility of individual program expenditures. City Manager Kiff suggested identifying specific departments with which to begin. He added that all of the City's contracts are under maintenance and operations, that it would be helpful for Council to see a list of all contracts, and that the City's new system will allow staff to pull that information together quickly. Mayor Pro Tem Dixon commented on staffing and outsourcing, and expressed interest in staff continuing to scrutinize spending and assess where savings can be achieved. Council Member Petros observed that the revenue side of the budget is up 6.01% while spending is only up 1.5 %. He believed that the City is applying its resources wisely. Jim Mosher commented positively on the Finance Committee's review of the budget. He referenced Council's Study Session on the CIP portion of the budget and praised staff on its clarity. Regarding details of the remainder of the budget, he believed that it is no less significant and expressed the opinion that the remainder of the budget should be just as Volume 62 - Page 280 City of Newport Beach Study Session and Regular Meeting May 12, 2015 transparent as the CIP budget. Gary Pickett, representing Ardell Ship Brokers and a majority of commercial marina operators in the City, requested that the tideland fees for commercial marinas be reviewed at a future meeting. He added that basing the increase in fees on two flawed appraisals is something that the City should rectify. Denys Oberman stated that the public would appreciate a copy of the details regarding the maintenance and operations budget. Additionally, she requested public access to today's presentation, added that it would be helpful to know what is contained in the "Other" sources of revenue, and wondered if there is something in there that suggests direction for public policy for Council. She asked for details regarding the assumptions for planned development, the TOT, other possible assumption changes, and also requested clarification regarding new Police Officers and parking rate increases. City Manager Kiff discussed the possibility of placing information on the website that would be interactive in terms of allowing the public to find specific items within the budget. He confirmed that the proposed budget is currently on the City's website. Bernie Svalstad, Corona del Mar Business Improvement District, spoke regarding keeping the Corona del Mar Entryway Project. City Manager Kiff pointed out that the project amount is in the checklist. He clarified that Council adopts the proposed budget and the checklist, and the checklist is incorporated into the proposed budget as an amendment to the budget. Laura Curran commented on a one -time litigation line item and believed it would be helpful to review details in terms of ongoing litigation expenses. She stated that she would like to see details related to group homes and advocating with the State for changing group home legislation. She added that there are facilities in Corona del Mar that continue to impact the neighborhoods. Additionally, she suggested developing an audit performance process, an internal audit process, and a budgeting process. She also commented on median maintenance and replacement. III. PUBLIC COMMENTS Jim Mosher commented on items discussed at previous Closed Sessions and the City Attorney's disclosure that no reportable actions were taken. He noted that the City dropped one of the cases and believed that the public had the right to know about that action and how Council voted. He added that Closed Sessions are supposed to be used sparingly and for few purposes, commented on City Attorney ethics, and noted that, in terms of prosecutions, the City Attorney represents the people. City Attorney Harp assured the public that the City fully complies with the Brown Act in terms of the case referenced by Mr. Mosher.

He added that Mayor Pro Tern Dixon has called the Peninsula a "nuisance and high crime area" and reported receiving a call from a real estate agent on Balboa Peninsula with concerns that they will need to use a disclaimer to sell property on the Peninsula, and was informed by the California Bureau of Real Estate that such a disclosure must be made.

Height Overlay District Zoning Code Amendment in West Newport Mesa (PA2015- 047) [100 -20151 Community Development Director Brandt referenced the staff report and offered to respond to Council questions. Mayor Selich opened the public hearing. Dorothy Kraus referenced letters from Stop Polluting Our Newport (SPON) and highlighted the organization's recommendations. She noted the need for a specific area/cohesive plan for the area and asked that Council consider SPON's suggestions. Jim Mosher agreed with SPON's comments regarding the need for a comprehensive specific area plan and addressed the request for increased building heights. He added that the idea of Volume 62 - Page 287 City of Newport Beach Study Session and Regular Meeting May 12, 2015 an overlay produces an inconsistency in the Zoning Code. He asked for clarity as to whether Council is planning to hold another hearing on this item or whether it will be on the Consent Calendar. David Szecsei referenced Section 20.28.010 of the Zoning Code relative to inconsistencies and stricter restrictions, adding that the more restrictive code should prevail in cases of inconsistencies. He referenced Planning Commission Resolution No. 1977, stating that a public hearing was held and noted that, while a public hearing may have been held, one was not held with respect to the Resolution's Exhibit B. He added that the public was not allowed to participate in discussions relative to the redline amendment to the Code and alleged that this is the first opportunity for the public to comment on the proposed overlay district with the proposed Code. June Mayer, Ebb Tide Mobile Home Park resident, reported that there was hazardous waste dumped into a drain on West 16th Street for many years and commented on flooding in the area due to heavy rains. With respect to the overlay district, she asked why the City is not doing an environmental review. oft Sunti Kumjim, representing the applicant, provided a PowerPoint presentation to address their proposal for three -story homes with a roof -top deck. He discussed the required height, detailed the amendment, and highlighted the increased street enhancements and open spaces. He also thanked Council Member Petros for his leadership on this matter. Hearing no further testimony, Mayor Selich closed the public hearing. Council Member Petros noted that the applicant worked closely with the City to create a model that can be brought forward. He addressed greater setbacks, open space, on -site amenities, and sidewalks. He added that he would like to see staff return to Council with a work plan that looks at the public realm and a sidewalk, parkway, and streetscape palette that will unify the area into a cohesive village that increases values and makes the area more walkable and environmentally friendly. Council Member Peotter agreed with Council Member Petros' comments and thanked the developer for their cooperation. Motion by Council Member Petros, seconded by Council Member Peotter' to a) find the project to be categorically exempt pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (Section 15305, Article 19 of Chapter 3, Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act) under Class 5 (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations). Class 5 consists of minor alterations in land use limitations in areas with an average slope of less than 20 percent, which do not result in any changes in land use or density. The Zoning Code Amendment creates a Height Overlay District to provide a mechanism to request additional residential building height, which provides for minor changes in land use limitations. The average slope of the properties involved is less than 20 percent and the project does not change the allowed land uses or density for any property within the Height Overlay District; b) introduce Ordinance No. 2015 -12, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach, California, Approving Zoning Code Amendment No. CA2015 -004 Creating a Height Overlay District to Allow Increased Residential Building Height for Properties Located in the Multiple Residential Zoning District in Statistical Area A2 in West Newport Mesa (PA2015- 047), and pass to second reading on May 26, 2015; and c) accept the Planning Commission recommendation to prepare a Master Plan for streetscape and other public realm improvements, including sidewalks, landscape palette, and other amenities to enliven the streetscape for the West Newport Mesa area consistent with General Plan Policies LU 6.6.3 Volume 62 - Page 288 City of Newport Beach Study Session and Regular Meeting May 12, 2015 Ktn and LU 6.6.4, and direct staff to return with a work program and budget for the Master Plan for Council consideration. Community Development Director Brandt addressed comments regarding a potential conflict between the base zoning district and the overlay, and noted that the Ordinance amends the base zoning district so there is consistency between it and the overlay (Section 4, page 16 -9). She referenced Planning Commission Resolution No. 1977 and reported that copies were made available to the public. She added that environmental documentation will be prepared in conjunction with the Ebb Tide Project and will be available for public review prior to any action by the Planning Commission. In response to Mayor Selich regarding second reading of the Ordinance on May 261H Community Development Director Brandt reported that the Ordinance will be on the Consent Calendar and will be corrected prior to the meeting. The motion carried by the following roll call vote: 4& Ayes: Council Member Peotter, Council Member Petros, Council Member Curry, Council Member Duffield, Council Member Muldoon, Mayor Pro Tern Dixon, Mayor Selich wl� .W 17. Regulations on Water - Propelled Vessels in Newport Harbor [100 -2015] Council Member Duffield recused himself from this Item because he owns a boat rental business. Harbor Resources Supervisor Levin addressed prior consideration of the matter, direction by Council, and Council options. In response to Council questions, Harbor Resources Supervisor Levin reported that, in the new Ordinance, staff specifies a location for the permitted user. She added that Council would authorize the permit and conditions, such as time of operation could be imposed. She reported that the permitted location would be at the terminus of the turning basin by commercial areas in Lido Marina Village and Mariners Mile. Pam Whitesides commented on emails and letters in favor of Jetpack America and reported that at least one of the surveys in favor of Jetpack America seems to be flawed since she is opposed to the operation, but her name is on the petition showing support. She alleged that allowing Jetpack operation in the Harbor violates the Municipal Code in terms of creating noise which would adversely affect user enjoyment of the water and commented on other hazards. She discussed the Harbor Commission's recommendations and a petition circulated by those most affected by and opposed to the operation. She asked that Council ban jetpacks in the Harbor and ask that Jetpack America take their customers out where they will not be able to harm or harass residents or Harbor users. Melinda Herndon expressed support for Jetpack America. Mike Glenn reported speaking to a representative of Jetpack America who claimed that they have had over 20,000 rides with one minor injury, so believed that safety is not a concern. He added that they have never had a wake ticket or a noise citation, suggested the City enforce the laws that are already on the books rather than ban the operation, and that sharing the Harbor with others is part of living in a community. Volume 62 - Page 289 City of Newport Beach Study Session and Regular Meeting May 12, 2015 Chris Del Rey spoke in support of Jetpack America and its operations. He commented on other noise in the Harbor and believed that safety is not a concern. He asked that Council consider that the operation is a tourist attraction and hoped that Council will work hard to find a solution. Heather Warmington - Sheward, representing Boat U.S., an organization that monitors boat safety, spoke in support of Jetpack America and its operations. She added that they are well - respected by the Harbor Patrol and the Coast Guard, and stated that the City Council should encourage equitable use of the Harbor. Dean O'Malley, President of Jetpack America, distributed a handout and addressed safety, noise, and the possibility of coexistence. He referenced emails and letters of support and encouraged Council to consider not banning the operation in the Harbor. Katie Morris, Co- Founder /Owner of Jetpack America, addressed the company's goals and believed that the company is an asset to the City. She asked to continue working to find the best locations and asked that the City find a solution to allow the company to continue its operations.
