CALL MEETING TO ORDER Council Member Petros called the meeting to order at 4:05 p.m. The following persons were in attendance: Balboa Village Advisory Committee Members: Diane Dixon, Mayor Pro Tem (Chair) — Absent/Excused (On the phone) Tony Petros, Council Member Gloria Oakes, Balboa Peninsula Point Association Ralph Rodheim, Balboa Village Merchants Association Grace Dove, Central Newport Beach Community Association — Absent/Excused Tom Pollack, ExplorOcean Representative — Absent/Excused Jim Stratton, At-Large Representative Staff Members: Kimberly Brandt, Community Development Director Brenda Wisneski, Deputy Community Development Director Benjamin Zdeba, Assistant Planner Tony Brine, City Traffic Engineer II. PUBLIC COMMENT ON NON-AGENDIZED ITEMS (comments limited to 3 minutes) Interested parties were invited to address the Committee on Non-Agendized Items. Committee Member Stratton asked about the status of the Local Coastal Plan Implementation Program. Deputy Community Development Director Wisneski provided a brief update noting that public draft copies have been made available and the matter is being reviewed by the Planning Commission in study session. She added that a Planning Commission public hearing will be held in October and that the matter will be presented to Council in November. She further noted that it should be submitted to the Coastal Commission by January 2016. Committee Member Stratton asked regarding sidewalk steam cleaning in the Village and BVAC Minutes 09/09/2015 Page 1 commented positively on the new mural at the pump station. Deputy Community Development Director Wisneski reported that the steam cleaning is scheduled by the Municipal Operations Department and commented on the frequency. III. ITEMS FOR REVIEW 1. MINUTES OF JULY 8, 2015 AND AUGUST 12, 2015 (ATTACHMENT 1) Recommended Action: Approve July 8, 2015 and August 12, 2015 Minutes. Action: Committee Member Stratton moved to approve the minutes from the July 8, 2015, and Committee Member Oakes seconded the motion. The motion carried, 3 — 0 with Mayor Pro Tem Dixon, Committee Member Dove, and Committee Member Pollack, absent. Committee Member Rodheim abstained as he was absent from that meeting. Deputy Community Development Director Wisneski noted that corrections to the August 12, 2015, minutes were submitted by Mr. Jim Mosher. Action: Committee Member Rodheim moved to approve the minutes as amended from the August 12, 2015, and Committee Member Oakes seconded the motion. The motion carried, 4 — 0 with Mayor Pro Tem Dixon, Committee Member Dove, and Committee Member Pollack, absent. 2. RP3 BOUNDARY CLARIFICATION (ATTACHMENT 2) Recommended Action: Finalize RP3 Boundary to be considered by City Council. Community Development Director Brandt referenced a previous presentation regarding the Residential Parking Permit Program (RP3) boundary map at a prior BVAC meeting and presented the map representing the Committee's desires on this item. The matter was continued to this meeting as there were not enough votes at the prior meeting to move it forward. Council Member Petros clarified the actions required at this time. Community Development Director Brandt reported that the color coding on the map will be appropriately modified before the RP3 is presented to Council. Committee Member Rodheim noted that the community is evenly divided on this matter and felt that the City should do what is best for residents. Committee Member Stratton noted that 62 percent of residents are in favor and that this has been a democratic process. Council Member Petros opened public comments. BVAC Minutes 09/09/2015 Page 2 4 Lesley Miller expressed concern that the proposal will not work as it is being piecemealed with the proposed shuttle program. She further added that the Peninsula is a single unit and should be treated as such. Lastly, she reported there are not enough parking meters near ExplorOcean and noted that the area is dirty. Howard Hall reported that he had previously recommended stopping the RP3 boundary at Medina Way and commented on concerns related to phasing the project. He spoke in opposition to impacting eastern Balboa Peninsula and suggested that if blocks beyond Medina Way are included, then some areas near Adams Street should be excluded from the program. W.R. Dildine commented on the length of time this item has been considered and suggested moving forward with it and presenting it to City Council. He addressed spill over into other neighborhoods and encouraged BVAC to give the project a chance. Jim Mosher referenced his written comments, the maps, and related statistics in the staff report. He addressed phases and alternatives and expressed concerns that Council will have difficulty in determining whether there is sufficient support to move forward with the plans. Additionally, he suggested a scientific and objective method that could be used to clarify the issue when it is presented to Council. Council Member Petros closed public comments. Council Member Petros stated that if and when this matter is presented to Council, and if Mr. Mosher has presented a mathematical tool that will help in decision-making, he would like it to be considered. He referenced Mr. Hall's comments and noted that his recitation on Medina Way has not fallen on deaf ears. He stated that he believes that the intent of the plan is to prevent spill over from commercial operations impacting adjacent residential neighborhoods. Action: Committee Member Stratton moved to forward Map 1 to Council for consideration with the potential of a Phase 2, which would go to the west, and Committee Member Oakes seconded the motion. Committee Member Rodheim stated he would prefer Map 2. The motion carried, 3 — 1 with Committee Member Rodheim voting "No," and Mayor Pro Tem Dixon, Committee Member Dove, and Committee Member Pollack, absent. 3. SHUTTLE UPDATE (ATTACHMENT 3) Recommended Action: Receive update and provide direction, as needed. Deputy Community Development Director Wisneski provided an update on the shuttle program, including the costs, the number of vehicles, securing parking lots, the need to work with Hoag Hospital, the possibility of funding through an Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) grant, and next steps, and she requested direction from the Committee. BVAC Minutes 09/09/2015 Page 3 Council Member Petros expressed concerns regarding the suggested parking locations, requested that the City lot on Superior Avenue be considered, and emphasized the benefit of a pilot program. It was noted that the Superior Avenue lot is being reviewed by the Recreation and Senior Services Department due to use of the lot as parking for programming of Sunset Ridge Park. Discussion followed regarding consideration of Banning Ranch by the Coastal Commission, unknown outcomes of that project with regard to potential additional parking provided, and moving the matter forward. Discussion continued regarding steps to move the item forward and possibilities to lease or sub-lease various properties for parking in the City. Community Development Director Brandt commented on possibilities and alternatives moving forward. Mayor Pro Tem Dixon suggested contacting Newport Beach & Company to gain a better perspective on marketing the shuttle program. Council Member Petros opened public comments. Jim Mosher requested clarification of the route maps. Council Member Petros clarified the concept and addressed possibilities relative to the schedule and stops along the way. Lesley Miller commented on the need to take a holistic approach with respect to the RP3 and any shuttle program. She added that being able to present everything together as a single project would help build the case for the City's application to the Coastal Commission. Lastly, she expressed support for the shuttle program. Council Member Petros closed public comments. 4. SUSTAINABLE TOURISM (ATTACHMENT 4) Recommended Action: Informational item only. No action required. Deputy Community Development Director Wisneski presented an article for the Committee's review and reported that staff will work with the Balboa Village Merchants Association (BVMA) to evaluate the concept of an open-air market. Regarding the Gateway sign, Committee Member Rodheim reported that the BVMA requests a delay in the matter until Balboa Village realizes some of the improvements discussed relative to Balboa Theater and ExplorOcean. He added there is no urgency on the sign and will work with Mayor Pro Tem Dixon to determine the appropriate name for the area. BVAC Minutes 09/09/2015 Page 4 Council Member Petros opened public comments. Jim Mosher provided comments regarding the article presented. Committee Member Rodheim expressed that if the area is redeveloped for residents primarily, tourists will follow. He expressed interest in revitalization of the Balboa Theater as an amenity for the residents of the area. Council Member Petros closed public comments. IV. PUBLIC COMMENT Lesley Miller commented on the need to clean and install lighting at Balboa Village. V.

Ridership Projection City of Newport Beach Balboa Peninsula ShuttielTrolley Feasibility Study Final Report Prepared for the City of •• Beach by Dan Boyle : Associates, October2015 I. Introduction This study assesses the feasibility of a shuttle/trolley route on the Balboa peninsula to serve visitors and residents during the peak summer season. The beach and Balboa Village are popular summertime destinations. As a result, Balboa Boulevard becomes congested, especially on busy summer weekends. The City of Laguna Beach is the model for special summer service. Its Summer Festival service links a parking lot along Laguna Canyon Road with Arts Festival sites, the beach, and downtown. Two other Summer Festival routes serve North Coast Highway and South Coast Highway. Summer Festival trolleys carry over 10,000 riders on a typical summer Saturday (its busiest day) or twice the ridership as compared to 2002, the first year that the service operated free of charge in its current three-route configuration. This is a reminder that it takes time for any service to mature and reach its full ridership potential. The City of Dana Point began a new weekend shuttle service in the summer of 2015, with a single route operating along Pacific Coast Highway(PCH). The City of San Juan Capistrano also started a shuttle in the summer of 2015 This report is organized as follows. Section 2 of this report is based upon discussions with the City of Newport Beach and the Balboa Village Advisory Committee (BVAC) at its May 2015 meeting. This section describes the purpose and goals of a summer shuttle route on the Balboa Peninsula, discusses potential markets for this service, and identifies key stakeholders. Section 3 summarizes the interviews with stakeholders. Section 4 identifies offsite parking locations and route options. Section 5 outlines draft schedules. Section 6 provides ridership estimates. Section 7 provides cost estimates. Section 8 discusses funding options for a shuttle. 2. Purpose and Goals/Markets/Key Stakeholders The Balboa Village Master Plan included the shuttle concept that would encompass an off-site parking location and a shuttle to connect this location with the peninsula. Goals for the shuttle include: • Providing an alternative to cruising for a parking space on the peninsula; • Encouraging visitors to Balboa Village and the beaches; • Designing a service that is simple to understand, easy to use, and fun; • Focusing on the most promising markets first. The general consensus of discussions during this study is that these goals can best be achieved by starting small, focusing on the peninsula in the summer, and identifying an off-site parking location. Weekend day visitors during the summer constitute the primary market for a shuttle. There are two primary entrances to the peninsula: Newport Expressway/Newport Boulevard and West Coast Highway/Balboa Boulevard. Parking access must be convenient to these approaches. 11 Balboa Peninsula Shuttle/Trolley Feasibility Study Final Report Of course, there are additional markets that can be attracted to and served by the shuttle. Hotel guests staying in Newport Beach and residents have been mentioned as potential markets by stakeholders. Over the years, the Summer Festival service in Laguna Beach has experienced ridership growth on its South Route (which serves residential areas and hotels along South Coast Highway) to the point where its ridership is greater than on the Canyon Route connecting the major parking location to Festival sites and downtown. The most promising immediate market for the Balboa peninsula, however, is day visitors on summer weekends. This market offers the best chance for success. Once a successful shuttle has been established, the City can consider expanding it to other locations that serve promising markets. There is also interest in expanding the time frame of the shuttle beyond summer weekends. Weekends throughout the year, summer weekdays, and special events such as the Boat Parade during Christmas week were all mentioned. Special events are a logical first step and could even be incorporated into the initial plan for shuttle operation. The kickoff meeting and the first presentation and discussion with the BVAC generated the following list of stakeholders to be interviewed: • Ralph Rodheim, Balboa Village Merchants Association • Gary Sherwin, Newport Beach & Co. • Alison Ryffle, Balboa Peninsula Point Association • Grace Dove, Central Newport Beach Association • Marcel Ford and Kelly Carlson, Balboa Village Merchants Association 3. Interviews with Stakeholders In-person and telephone interviews were conducted with these individuals between June 3 and June 12, 2015. The interview process was flexible to allow each person to explain the most relevant factors for consideration in this study from his/her perspective. Each interview included the following topics: • Traffic and parking • Routing for the trolley • Lessons learned from previous efforts • Markets that can/should be served by the trolley • Parting thoughts The vision for the shuttle varied among stakeholders. Most agreed with the concept of "starting small" with a focus on the peninsula. Some see multiple routes (two or more) serving various locations and destinations as necessary from the beginning. A few put forth a broad view of how the shuttle could evolve into a city-wide network serving hotels, shopping, restaurants and bars along with Balboa Village and the beach and thus appealing to a wider market. Some expressed skepticism about the viability of a shuttle, citing past failed attempts and a distinct lack of interest among residents. Most (but not all) interviewees view conveniently located off-site parking as essential for the shuttle's success. Several sites were proposed, including Hoag Hospital, Hoag Health Center on Dan Boyle &Associates, Inc. Page 2 1 Balboa Peninsula Shuttle/Trolley Feasibility Study Final Report Superior Avenue, a lot at 17th Street & Pomona Avenue in Costa Mesa, the Ardell property along Coast Highway, an under-utilized lot at Avon Street & Riverside Avenue in Mariners Mile, The Dunes, and Corona del Mar. Stakeholders noted that the "visitor" market is not homogeneous. One way to define differences is day trippers vs. those staying longer (often in hotels but also in rental properties). Some merchants see a more lucrative market in those staying longer; one noted that new store owners are cautioned that they need to appeal to locals as well as day visitors to stay in business. One individual noted that 80 percent of visitors in rentals drive to the peninsula but do not necessarily want to use their car to get around. The shuttle does not need to go beyond Balboa Village on the peninsula. There is a turnaround loop at the Balboa Pier used by Orange County Transportation Authority(OCTA) buses that would serve as a good way to turn the trolley around. Balboa Pier is a current destination for beachgoers because of parking and restroom facilities. Stakeholders reported that the parking generally fills up by 9 a.m. on summer weekends. Restrooms are also available at 15th Street. The interviewees agreed that the shuttle does not need to serve West Newport (along Balboa Boulevard between Newport Boulevard and Coast Highway). Beachgoers carry a lot of "stuff" with them. One area of skepticism was whether beachgoers would be willing to use an alternative like the shuttle that requires carrying items from car to shuttle to beach. One suggestion was to consider an airport-type shuttle with room to store these items enroute. Stakeholders were adamant that the vehicles used for the shuttle need to be attractive! Some suggested an open-air trolley as the ideal vehicle, while others emphasized the importance of an alternate-fuel vehicle. The most-cited reason for failure of past efforts was the vehicle. School buses will not attract ridership. If the shuttle is positioned as `cool,' locals will ride it. Other reasons for failure of previous efforts included under-funding, insufficient marketing, and a lack of understanding that a service like this needs time to build ridership and find its market (or have its market find it). One person suggested that even a summer-long demonstration project would not be long enough. In this view, two years would be the minimum time frame to test the market for a shuttle. This suggestion has a parallel in how transit agencies evaluate the success of a new route or service, which is expected to meet established performance criteria within 18 months. Another noted that Laguna Beach, a model for this type of effort, did not achieve its current usage overnight. Changing people's habits is a slow process. Beyond the off-site parking to Balboa Pier route, other suggested routings would serve McFadden Square/Newport Pier, Lido Marina Village, Mariners Mile, Fashion Island, and various hotels. The interviewees generally agreed that the trolley needs to be free to attract ridership. The one contrary view was long-term, thinking about a day pass for visitors and an evening pass for accessing restaurants and bars on an extended shuttle network. Dan Boyle &Associates, Inc. Page 3 _3 Balboa Peninsula Shuttle/Trolley Feasibility Study Final Report 4. Offsite Parking Locations and Route Options As noted earlier, the immediate market for the shuttle consists of weekday day visitors during the summer, with the beach as the major destination. Criteria for offsite parking include: • Proximity to Newport Expressway/Newport Boulevard. Most day visitors are coming from inland via the Newport Expressway. Offsite parking needs to intercept visitors before they enter the Peninsula. The Act V Parking Lot on Laguna Canyon Road in Laguna Beach is an example of a well-located parking lot. • Safety. A staffed parking lot or structure is typically perceived as safest, while an unattended lot in a lightly-trafficked location is least safe. • Availability on summer weekends. • Visibility of the offsite parking location from Newport Expressway/Newport Boulevard. A visible location feels familiar, even if a driver has only passed by the location. • Use of city-owned land for parking. This is administratively simpler and can allow for a parking fee to be charged, with all revenue accruing to the City. The last two criteria are ideal but not strictly necessary. Six potential locations have been identified and are highlighted in Figure 1. These locations are: A. The southeast corner of West 17th Street & Pomona Avenue in Costa Mesa (outlined in red). B. Hoag Health Center at 500 Superior Avenue in Newport Beach (outlined in purple). C. Hoag Hospital at 1 Hoag Drive in Newport Beach (outlined in green). D. The Avon Lot on Avon Street behind Jack Shrimp east of Tustin Avenue along Mariners Mile in Newport Beach (outlined in gold).. E. The Lower Lot at Hoag Hospital along Coast Highway between Newport Boulevard and Superior Avenue (outlined in pink). F.

There is a well-defined path in and out of this location and a potential stop location adjacent to the parking structure. Some turns would be tight for a larger vehicle. Fieldwork indicated that traffic on the hospital grounds is light on a summer Saturday. The major disadvantage is that it is unlikely that Hoag Hospital would grant approval for access to this site, according to hospital personnel. Location B (Hoag Health Center at 500 Superior Avenue) is not visible from Newport Boulevard and requires a right and then a left turn to access this location. There are two parking structures, with a small cafe in between them, and the Health Center is well-signed from Superior Avenue. Hoag Hospital personnel indicated that this location was used as a base for shuttle service to the Balboa Peninsula in the past. The Health Center is not staffed on weekends, so there are no parking or traffic conflicts. There is a well-defined path in and out of this location (circling the parking structures), and the caf6 area provides a convenient waiting area. There is room for multiple shuttle vehicles at this location. Availability is likely, but has not yet been confirmed. Location A (the lot at West 17th Street & Pomona Avenue) is close to but not visible from Newport Boulevard. Drivers can reach the lot with only one turn. It is not staffed, and it is unclear whether visitors would feel comfortable leaving their cars there for the day. Access to the lot was closed off during fieldwork, but it appears unused during summer months. This is the location farthest away from Balboa Peninsula. Location D (the Avon lot on Avon Street east of Tustin Avenue behind Jack Shrimp) along Mariners Mile is an open, unstaffed lot. It requires two or three turns from Newport Boulevard to access. The lot is owned by the City and is underused. As with the lot at West 17th & Pomona, it is unclear whether visitors would feel comfortable leaving their cars there for the day. It may be more challenging to persuade visitors to look for remote parking once they have reached Coast Highway and are almost to the Peninsula. Dan Boyle &Associates, Inc. Page 6 10 Balboa Peninsula Shuttle/Trolley Feasibility Study Final Report Location E (the Lower Lot at Hoag Hospital along Coast Highway between Superior Avenue and Newport Boulevard) is an open, unstaffed lot. The City of Newport Beach will be using this lot on Saturdays to shuttle youth sports league players to the City's park on Superior Avenue & Coast Highway. Availability is possible, but has not yet been confirmed. While this location faces the same challenge as the Avon lot in persuading visitors to look for remote parking once they have reached Coast Highway, it is very close to Newport Boulevard. Location F, the lot at Coast Highway & Superior Avenue, is an open, unstaffed lot. This location faces the same challenge in persuading visitors to look for remote parking once they have reached Coast Highway. While only slightly farther west of the Lower Lot, this lot can only be accessed from the northbound lane of Superior Avenue. As seen in the next section, this restricted access results in a lengthy out-of-direction loop on the trip to Balboa Pier. Figure 2 shows route options for the shuttle. All options are identical between Coast Highway and the Balboa Pier. • The red line serves the lot at 1711 & Pomona. • The dark blue line serves Hoag Health Center. • The green line serves Hoag Hospital. • The orange line serves the Avon lot at Mariners Mile. • The pink line serves the Lower Hoag Hospital parking lot • The light blue line serves the lot at Superior & Coast Highway Parking lots are shown in white and are outlined by the color of the route serving the lot.

These options, shown in Figures 3 and 4, are not oriented toward parking for summer day visitors and might be considered as options for future extensions. These routes are very different: • The route in dark green (Figure 3) is very short (under two miles round-trip) and connects Lido Marina Village with Newport Pier. • The route in pink (Figure 4) is an expansive route connecting Balboa Pier with Mariners Mile, Fashion Island, and various hotels and resorts.

Schedules Draft schedules have been developed for each of the six parking-based shuttle options and are presented in Appendix A. The running times for each option are based on fieldwork on the Balboa Peninsula on a summer Saturday (July 11, 2015) and the OCTA bus schedule for Route 71, and include a factor for scheduled stops. The shuttle could be operated with stops at all OCTA stops along the route (Appendix B provides a list of OCTA stops that are along one of the routes) or could stop only at select stops. Initial span of service is assumed to be from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Service is provided every 15 minutes almost all of the day. Most options operate every 20 minutes between 10 and 11 am. A frequency of one bus every 20 minutes between 10 and 11 a.m. is acceptable, based on field observation (the parking lot at Balboa Pier had spaces available until 11:15 a.m.)and experience in Laguna Beach. Table 3 summarizes the schedules for each option.

In Options A and C, the running times allowed service every 12 minutes for two hours at no additional cost Revenue hours of service are highest for the 17th & Pomona option and lowest for the Hoag Hospital and Lower Lot options. The 1711 & Pomona option requires five vehicles due to the longer distance involved. Span of service reflects the leave time of the first bus from the parking lot to the arrival of the last bus at the parking lot. 6. Ridership Estimate Ridership estimates are based upon summer 2015 ridership to date in Dana Point and San Juan Capistrano (excluding special events and the 4th of July weekend) and adjusted ridership in Laguna Beach during its first year of free service in 2002. For the purposes of this estimate, we assume that a Balboa Peninsula trolley/shuttle could achieve a productivity (measured as boardings per revenue hour) of approximately 1/5 of the Laguna Beach Summer Festival Trolley Dan Boyle &Associates, Inc. Page 11 21 Balboa Peninsula Shuttle/Trolley Feasibility Study Final Report on weekends in 2002. The Dana Point and San Juan Capistrano shuttles are in their first year of operation. The Dana Point shuttle operates primarily on Pacific Coast Highway and connects with major hotels. The San Juan Capistrano shuttle operates hourly as a circulator within the City. The average of the Dana Point, San Juan Capistrano, and adjusted 2002 Laguna Beach productivity figures is 12.7 boardings per revenue hour. To be conservative, this analysis uses a lower value of 10 boardings per revenue hour to estimate potential ridership of the Balboa Peninsula shuttle/trolley service. Assuming 32.0 revenue hours, the resulting daily ridership estimate is 320. There are other factors that can influence ridership. A focused marketing effort publicizing the existence of the shuttle and how to use it will be very important in ensuring the shuttle's success. As noted in Technical Memorandum No. 1, it could take more than one summer to establish the shuttle as an integral part of summer on the Balboa Peninsula. OCTA has changed its Project V guidelines in recognition of the fact that changing people's habits is a slow process. Another interesting factor observed in the fieldwork is related to skepticism over whether beachgoers, who generally bring a lot of beach gear and belongings with them, would be willing to transfer to a shuttle. In the late morning and afternoon, once the parking lot at Balboa Pier was full, many beachgoers were observed carrying their belongings across Balboa Boulevard from wherever they could find parking. A shuttle that brings these beachgoers directly to Balboa Pier would be very attractive to families who currently walk a fair distance to the beach. 7. Cost Estimate Laguna Beach operates its Summer Festival Trolley service directly. Dana Point and San Juan Capistrano have contracted operation of their services to a private contractor. Dana Point received a Project V grant from OCTA and provides a local match of approximately 20 percent. San Juan Capistrano is funding a small demonstration project this summer with City funds. In its Project V application, Dana Point used a cost estimate of $95 per revenue hour to calculate operating costs. For the purposes of this analysis, we assume an operating cost of $100 per revenue hour. Table 4 summarizes estimated operating costs and ridership for the Balboa Peninsula shuttle/trolley. Table 4 uses 32.0 daily revenue hours at a cost of $100 per revenue hour (assumed to include provision of vehicles) and 10 weeks of service on summer Saturdays and Sundays.

Funding Options OCTA's M2 program is a 30-year, multi-billion dollar extension of the original Measure M (approved in 1990) with a new slate of planned projects and programs. Projects S, T, V, and W address public transportation needs. The proposed Balboa Peninsula shuttle could be funded under Project V: Community Based Transit/Circulators. Among the objectives of Project V are to: • Encourage development of local bus transit services such as community-based circulators, shuttles, and bus trolleys • Provide alternatives to address seasonal/special event congestion Capital funding is available for the following purposes: • Bus and vehicle leases/purchases • Related equipment, including but not limited to: o Bike racks o Software o Communications equipment o Fare collection equipment o Passenger amenities o Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) equipment for vehicles • Maintenance facilities and fueling stations • Bus stop improvements (signage, furniture, and shelters Operations and maintenance funding is available for the following purposes: • Fixed route, deviated fixed route, demand responsive, seasonal community transit, and shuttle services including administration, operations and maintenance of services. Services are to be operated by OCTA, although local agencies may propose an alternate service provider which will be considered at the discretion of OCTA. • Parking leases needed in response to expanded transit services. • Special event shuttle services for events that will create significant congestion. • Other flexible and innovative transit services contingent on the service plan and anticipated service performance. • Marketing efforts including expenditures related to service schedules, marketing materials such as flyers and brochures, and community outreach efforts. Project V contributions for marketing will be capped at $25,000 for the startup cost and up to $10,000 annually thereafter for the remaining grant period. Funding for planning Project V services is available. Up to $50,000 is available for planning. Agencies may be awarded a total from all project categories of no more than $550,000 annually for a period of up to seven years per project. Dan Boyle &Associates, Inc. Page 13 2S Balboa Peninsula Shuttle/Trolley Feasibility Study Final Report Table 5 summarizes Project V funding for successful eligible projects. Table 5 Project V Funding Category Funding Comments Available Applications with local funding greater Capital 90 percent than 10 percent are eligible for additional point scoring 90 percent OR Must meet minimum standard of 6 Operating and boardings per revenue hour within Maintenance $9 per boarding, first 12 months and 10 boardings per whichever is less revenue hour within first 24 months OCTA staff has prepared and presented Program Guidelines for Project V to its Board and is expected to issue a Call for Projects later this year. The recommended next step is to complete and submit a Project V application in response to the Call for Projects. If Newport Beach can replicate the success of shuttles operating in Dana Point(funded through Project V)and San Juan Capistrano in 2015, this productivity target would be attainable.

On August 11, 2015, the City Council approved an allocation of $2,500 for the Village Festival. Additionally, the City Council allocated $7,500 to further support BVMA special events. The Council directed the BVMA to submit a package of special events for review by the Balboa Village Advisory Committee (BVAC) prior to the funds being released. The BVAC is asked to review the BVMA request and approve funding up to $7,500 for special events in Balboa Village to help further the revitalization efforts for the area. Representatives from the BVMA will be available at the meeting to answer questions about the proposed events. The BVMA submitted a list of three tentative special events for the 2015-2016 fiscal year, which includes: 1) Balboa Craft Beer Festival — Saturday, November 14, 2015 An adults only, paid ticket event for locals to sample craft beer from local breweries. The event will take place at the Palm Street parking lot on the corner of Palm Street and East Balboa Boulevard. Nearly all businesses participating in the event will be from the Village with a few restaurants participating from Newport Pier area. There will be amplified sound with a live classic rock band. There will be no street closures as the event will be in the public parking lot. This aligns with the revitalization goals of Balboa Village as the BVMA is marketing to visitors and residents alike. 500 tickets will be available for sale at $55 each, with potential ticket sales of $27,500. Estimated Cost: $23,000 F",— Community Development Department 33 2) Village Music Festival — Saturday, February 20, 2016 Local musicians will play free at several storefronts around the Village encouraging locals to come, listen, stroll, and enjoy food and drink around the Village. The event will take place around the Balboa Village area only. Visitors will stroll around Village streets in front of businesses. There will not be amplified sound as it will be curb side musicians. There will be no street closures. This aligns with the revitalization goals of Balboa Village as the BVMA is marketing the street event to visitors and residents alike to come, stroll, eat, watch live music. Estimated Cost: $7,500 3) Village Festival — Sunday, April 17, 2016 Kickoff party for Newport to Ensenada Race with live classic rock 'n roll band, local food venders, and wine and beer garden. The event will take place at the Palm Street parking lot on the corner of Palm Street and East Balboa Boulevard. Nearly all businesses will be from the Village with a few restaurants participating from Newport Pier area. There will be amplified sound with a live classic rock band. There will be no street closures as the event will be in the public parking lot. This aligns with the revitalization goals of Balboa Village as the BVMA is marketing to visitors and residents alike to come and enjoy the Village.
