Invocation by Tom Gazsi, Detective, Newport Beach Police Department. Update from Orange County Fifth District Supervisor Tom Wilson. Supervisor Wilson expressed his desire to maintain open channels of communication and keep the City informed of what is happening at the Board of Supervisors' level. He specifically thanked City Attorney Burnham and Assistant to the City Manager Kiff for their assistance on many issues of mutual concern. Supervisor Wilson also thanked the City Council for their leadership and commitment. Supervisor Wilson stated that he plans to return to a City Council meeting in the Spring and provide a County update. Mayor Pro Tem O'Neil thanked Supervisor Wilson for his support on a number of issues and asked what his support would be in getting the settlement agreement for John Wayne Airport extended when it expires in 2005. Supervisor Wilson stated that he is committed to working towards not having John Wayne Airport expanded and keeping the caps reasonable. He is open to discussion and exploring all the options available to the Orange County area. In reference to Supervisor Wilson's mention of an initiative, Council Member Glover asked what his stand would be. Supervisor Wilson stated that there is not an initiative yet, he is only speculating that there will be one and he wouldn't be surprised if both sides of the El Toro issue are successful in getting an initiative on the ballot. Mayor Edwards provided Supervisor Wilson with a recent mailer sent by the El Toro airport opponents, and asked if he would comment on it, like he did with a recent proponent mailing. Supervisor Wilson stated that the piece presented to him did seem extreme. Mayor Edwards pointed out that if both sides would deal with factual issues only, open dialog could be improved. Supervisor Wilson agreed. Presentation of the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the City's 1996 -97 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report Volume 52 - Page 213 City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes November 9, 1998 INDEX and the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the City's 1997 -98 Budget, from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) of the United States and Canada, to Dick Kurth, Acting Administrative Services Director.

MATTERS WHICH COUNCIL MEMBERS WOULD LIKE PLACED ON A FUTURE AGENDA FOR DISCUSSION. ACTION OR REPORT (NON - DISCUSSION ITEM): • Council Member Glover requested that staff prepare a status report regarding the clean -up process on Newport Boulevard and the 55 Freeway with CalTrans. Mayor Pro Tem O'Neil stated that he has received several inquiries regarding the construction taking place on the "flower" streets in Corona del Mar. He stated that there is concern that the development is massive in size and height, and possibly changing the characteristic of the older community. Assistant City Manager Wood confirmed for Mayor Pro Tem O'Neil that, at the request of Planning Commissioner Ed Selich, the item has been placed on the next Planning Commission agenda. Mayor Pro Tem O'Neil stated that he has also received complaints about the lane closure adjacent to the Crown Cove project, at Coast Highway near the Five Crowns restaurant. He stated that he understands that the developer does not have the authority to close a lane on the weekends, and requested that Public Works Director Webb work with CalTrans on keeping that lane open as much as possible. Acting City Manager Danner confirmed for Council Member Debay that the December issue of the City -wide newsletter would be distributed in the Navigator, as done with previous issues. Council Member Debay felt that this was not an effective way to reach the citizens, as many do not know that the newsletter is contained inside the publication. She announced that citizens will need to look inside the Navigator for the newsletter when they receive it in December. • Mayor Edwards via a note he requested Public Works Director Webb read out loud, requested that staff look into the removal of the temporary fence at the new Castaways site.
