available parking in front of their establishments. Mr. Herberts also

the business owners because they work so hard and they currently have
no clients. Additionally, she stated that she thought the mature trees
would remain but that, just the other day, she saw some of the mature
eucalyptus being cut down. She again stated that the parking that has
been removed is going to hurt the businesses and that parking has to be
made available in front of the businesses, like on Balboa Island.

and towed, he received the paperwork from the Police Department and

that information can be obtained at www.ocxeltoro.com. He announced

AMERICAN LEGION LEASE NEGOTIATIONS.
City Manager Bludau stated that the leadership at the American
Legion is very interested in pursuing a long -term lease with the City.
He recommended that a subcommittee be formed to begin the
negotiations.
Mayor Pro Tem Ridgeway stated that Mayor Adams requested that
Mayor Pro Tem Ridgeway and Council Member Bromberg be appointed
to the subcommittee.
Shirley Phillips, 1420 W. Oceanfront, American Legion Auxiliary Post
member, stated that a question in everyone's mind is who at the
American Legion would approve the Sutherland -Talla proposal, as
mentioned at earlier City Council meetings. She stated that it has been
indicated that the City will not move forward with a project unless the
American Legion supports it. Additionally, she asked if it had been
determined if the American Legion is on tidelands.
Mayor Pro Tem Ridgeway stated that the land is tidelands.
Ms. Phillips read from a letter written by an American Legion member
to Assemblyman Campbell, which was responding to a letter from
Assemblyman Campbell. The letter informed Assemblyman Campbell
that he was incorrect in saying that the American Legion Post and the
Girl Scout facility would be relocated to new facilities on the property.
Ms. Phillips stated that the reply from Assemblyman Campbell
indicated that his staff spoke with an Assistant City Manager for the
City and that the City intends to redevelop the property, but have

facility would be relocated to new facilities on the property. She asked

Manager Bludau stated that he sees them as two distinct and separate
issues. Council Member Heffernan stated that the Sutherland -Talla
proposal will show where the facilities would be on the property. He
questioned how the two could be looked at separately.
Mayor Pro Tem Ridgeway stated that the first issue would be to discuss
the long -term lease with the American Legion. He felt that a meeting
with the American Legion would resolve the issue.

CURRENT BUSINESS (cont.)
512. NEWPORT COAST ANNEXATION BUDGET.
City Manager Bludau stated that the item was added to the agenda on
November 21, 2001, upon hearing the news that the number of protests
fell short of what was needed to require a vote of the residents in
Newport Coast regarding the annexation. He stated that the City filed
its annexation application in March 2001, and that the Local Agency
Formation Commission (LAFCO) approved the annexation pending a
determination of a required vote.
City Manager Bludau stated that the proposed budget amendment
shows revenue projections for the January 1, 2002 to June 30, 2002,
period as being $18,579,720. He stated that $15 million of this total
would come from a first -time payment from the Irvine Ranch Water
District (IRWD). City Manager Bludau stated that the budget
amendment also authorizes additional expenditures totaling $5,274,294
for the same period. He noted that there is a net impact of a negative
$260,085 on the 2001.2002 fiscal year budget.
City Manager Bludau stated that he directed the department directors
to prepare their budgets to provide the same level of service to the
Newport Coast area that is already provided in Newport Beach and

that all additions should strictly be for the Newport Coast area. City
Manager Bludau noted that approximately 91% of the proposed
expenditures are for Police, Fire and General Services. He,
additionally, noted that of the $2,328,052 for maintenance and
operations, $1.2 million is for a payment to the Newport Coast
residents toward their assessments.
Council Member Heffernan asked for an explanation of how the
sequencing of events would occur, specifically referring to the start date
of the annexation and when the first property tax payment is received.
City Manager Bludau stated that the first property tax prepayment
from the County would be made on December 1st. He noted that the
City is not currently on the tax assessor's roll, but that there are
agreements with the special districts and the County to split the
annual property tax.
Mayor Pro Tem Ridgeway asked for a clarification of when the tax
payments for this year would be received by the City. Assistant City
Manager Kiff stated that a certification of the annexation by
November 30th would allow the City to collect property tax revenues in
the 2002 -2003 fiscal year. He noted that the payments would not be
received until July, but that the agreements with the agencies require
them to split the January to June period.
Council Member O'Neil asked when the annexation would become cost
neutral. He stated that the City Council decided not to annex areas
that did not pay their own way. City Manager Bludau stated that there
are some onetime startup costs and equipment purchases. Assistant
City Manager Kiff stated that the breakeven period would begin with
the City's 2002 -2003 fiscal year.
Council Member Glover recalled that it was already known that the
annexation would operate in the negative for the first fiscal year.
Assistant City Manager Kiff confirmed that the initial years are
expected to show a deficit.
Mayor Pro Tem Ridgeway stated that he's excited about the
annexation.
Motion by Council Member Glover to adopt a pre- annexation
budget for the Newport Coast; and approve Budget Amendment
(BA -023) increasing revenue estimates and expenditure appropriations
related to annexation activities.
Mayor Pro Tem Ridgeway stated that he believes that the I.AFCO
certification will occur later in the current week. He stated that the
agreement with Newport Coast is fair.
Council Member Glover noted that much of the funding is due to an
agreement with IRWD that was put together by Council Member O'Neil
when he was the City Attorney.
