REVIEW PROCESS. (4:00 P.M.)
Community Development staff will brief the Council and community on the review
and comment process associated with the Draft Environmental Impact Report

that material.

Public Works staff will update the Council on possible community facility changes
in and around West Newport, including the Corporate Yard, the Utilities Yard,
and the current City Hall site. Staff will seek guidance from the Council as to

The City provides a yellow sign -in card to assist in the preparation of the minutes. The completion of the card is not
required in order to address the Council. Speakers must limit comments to five (5) minutes on agenda items. The Council
has the discretion to extend or shorten the time limit on agenda or non- agenda items. As a courtesy, please turn cell phones
off or set them in the silent mode.
Any writings or documents provided to a majority of the City Council regarding any item on this agenda will be made
available for public inspection in the Office of the City Clerk located at 3300 Newport Boulevard during normal business
hours. In addition, such writings and documents will be posted on the City's website at www.newportbeachea.gov
This meeting is subject to the Ralph M. Brown Act. Among other things, the Brown Act requires that the agenda be posted
at least 72 hours in advance of each meeting and that the public be allowed to comment on agenda items before the City
Council and items not on the agenda but are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the City Council. The City Council
may limit public comments to a reasonable amount of time, generally either three (3) or five (5) minutes per person.

5. HARBOR SPEED LIMIT — PROPOSED CHANGES. (4:45 P.M.)
Harbor Commissioners have been interested in making it clear that some sailing
races should be allowed, under certain circumstances, to exceed the current
speed limits in and around Newport Harbor — races like the Thursday "beer can"
races out of the Balboa Yacht Club. This item allows staff and the Council to
discuss the merits of amending the NBMC to specifically allow the speed limit to
be exceeded for these (and other) races.
III. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Public comments are invited on Closed Session Agenda items, as reflected in Item 11 - Closed Session of
the Regular Meeting agenda, and on non - agenda items generally considered to be within the subject
