M. on above date with Mayor Williamson presiding, the meeting being called for the purpose of considering the final approval of a certain Map of Tract 1007 in the City of Newport Beach, together with any other matters that might lawfully come before the Special Meeting. The Call for the Special Meeting was read by the Clerk who advised that same had been properly signed by all the Councilmen excepting Councilman Brown, who was absent. The roll was called, the following Councilmen answering present: Gordon, Claire, Whitson, Williamson. Absent; Councilman Brown. On motion.of Councilman Claire, seconded by Councilman Whitson and carried, the Call for the Special Meeting was ordered filed. The approval of the re- subdivision Map of Tract 1007 was brought up for discussion, the question of approval or disapproval of the Map being dependent upon the applicant acceding to certain demands of the City, said demands being the proper assurance of a public sidewalk being provided on the northerly side of said tract fronting on Newport Bay, together with a suitable radius being provided for a certain alley created by the re- subdivision. The question arose as to the status of the present public walk being preserved as City property in case it was not shown on the re- subdivision Map, whereupon J. P. Greeley,representing the applicants,advised the Council that the present sidewalk traversing the property involved had never been posted as private property and felt that the City was not jeopardizing their interests by approving the Map as presented with a 10 foot right of way bordering on the bulkhead line thereof. The matter of the cost of constructing the walk in the location as shown on the Map was considered, it being estimated that with the bulkhead necessary in connection therewith, the cost would approximate $2,700.00, which would have to be borne by the City and which did not meet with the favor of the Council. The matter of improving the alley to be dedicated by the Map and the cost of the proceedings for vacating the present alley would of necessity be paid with City funds. Considerable discussion ensued regarding the matter without arriving at any satisfactory conclusion. Whereupon it was moved by Council- man Claire, seconded by Councilman Gordon and carried, that an adjournment be taken to 5:30 o'clock P. M., March 4,/ 935. 1 The City Council of the Special meeting in the City Council Newport Beach at 5:30 o'clock P. M. presiding. Newport Beach, March 4, 1935.
