Public hearing regarding UNDERGROUNDING UTILITIES AND CONSTRUCTING STREET LIGHTS ON NEWPORT ISLAND (Proposed Assessment District No. 63). Report from the Public Works Department. The City Manager reported that on February 11, 1991, proposed Assessment District No. 63 was initiated as a result of a petition signed by the owners of 81 of 117 parcels of land on Newport Island, representing 72.38% of Volume 46 - Page 214 Ord 92 -29 Zoning (94/27) Undergr Utilities/ Street Lights' (Assesm Dist 63) (89) r a r a •.. :7 • • CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH June 22, 1992 the area of assessable land. Construction of a standard City -owned street lighting system to replace leased lights mounted on wood poles is included as an appurtenant part of the work. On June 11, 1992 an informal public meeting was held at which time interested property owners viewed the plans and asked detailed questions about their particular properties and assessments. The lowest responsible bid for the work is that of F. J. Johnson, Inc., at $64,622.00, which is 0.48 below the Engineer's estimate of $65,000. The total estimated cost of the improvement is $675,7:18.00. The assessment has been spread on the basis of one equal share of $5,850.55 for each of 114 parcels, and one -half of a share for each of three parcels of land that are less than 2,000 square feet in area. In response to question raised by Council Member Plummer regarding hardship cases, the City Manager advised that special consideration could be given to such cases. Roy Van Orden, 4012 Channel Place, addressed the Council in favor of the proposed Assessment District, stating he felt the aesthetic appearance of the Island will be immeasurably improved as a result of the project, inasmuch as utility poles will now be removed the sidewalks will get better usage, and the project will improve the fire safety of Newport Island. Larry Leifer, 3706 Channel Place, President of Newport Island Association, addressed the Council in support of the Assessment: District, stating he concurred with the remarks of Mr. Van Orden, and felt the project will definitely, beautify the Island. Margaret Weimer, 3905 Marcus Avenue, addressed the Council in opposition to the proposed project, stating she felt the City should pay for the undergrounding of utilities adjacent to Newport Island Park, inasmuch as it is a City park, and that the cost should not be assessed to the property owners in the District. She also felt that the utility companies should pay a larger share of the assessment cost. With regard to the City paying for undergroun.ding utilities adjacent to Newport Island park, the City Manager reported that the staff recommends the City not contribute, due to the fact that the neighborhood will benefit more from the improvement than the general public as it is not extensively used by the public. Debby Ann Evans, 4018 Channel Place, addressed the Council in support of the Assessment District, stating she was one of the circulators of the petitions for undergrounding, and talked to Volume 46 - Page 215 MINUTES Utilities/ Street Lights (Assesm Dist 63) COUNCIL MEMBERS :I•i m Motion • x CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH June 22, 1992 approximately one -third of the rasidents. She stated it was made very clear to all property owners that they would be required to pay a portion of the hook -up costs above and beyond the assessment district cost. She also stated that all new property owners moving into the area were notified, and that the majority of those who she contacted were in favor. The Public Works Director advised that just prior to this meeting, the City Clerk received a letter of protest from Anna M. .Johnson, 3903 Marcus Avenue, which makes a total of five (5) written protests, which represents 4.06 %. Hearing no others wishing to address the Council, the public hearing was closed. Upon the recommendation of the City Attorney, Council Member Plummer stated she will abstain from voting on this issue inasmuch as she is a resident of Newport Island. Council Member Hedges indicated he felt the City should pay for the undergrounding of utilities adjacent to Newport Island park. Council Member Hart indicated she supported staff's recommendation to not participate in the uudergrounding of utilities adjacent to Newport Island park; and therefore, moved to adopt the following: Resolution No. 92 -63 denying protests and making the findings. Resolution No. 92 -64 approving contracts for ownership of utility improvements. Resolution No. 92 -65 confirming assessments. Resolution No. 92 -66 awarding the construction contract. Resolution No. 92 -67 appropriating the sum of $430,000.00 from the General Fund as a short term loan to the assessment district to be repaid with interest until the proceeds from the 30 day cash collection period and the bond sale are received; Discussion ensued with respect to the recent undergrounding of utilities at Bay Avenue beach, wherein the Public Works Director advised that the City shared in one -half of that cost because it was felt the beach was widely used by the general public. If the City were to pay for the underground improvements at Newport Island Park, the cost would be approximately $5,580.55; based on the share for one parcel, as established for the entire district.

Public hearing regarding proposed Ord 92 -31 ORDINANCE NO. 92 -31, being, Utilities AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL Basic Wtr OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Rate /Wtr AMENDING VARIOUS SECTIONS OF Charges CHAPTER 14 OF THE NEWPORT BEACH (89) MUNIICIPAL CODE REGARDING INCREASE IN BASIC WATER RATE AND WATER CHANCES. Recycled report from the Utilities Department: dated June 8, 1992. Jeff Staneart, Acting Utilities Director, addressed the Council and stated the last change in City water rates was effective on July 1, 1991, when the basic water quantity rate was increased from $1.05 per hundred cubic . feet to $1.18. It is now recommended the Council set the basic rate at $1.34 per hundred cubic feet; that the private fire service connection charge be adjusted to $5.00 per inch diameter per month; and that the penalty assessment under the City's ten -phase rationing program to match MWD's penalty rate, be modified from $0.91 per hundred cubic feet to $1.24 per hundred cubic feet. He • stated that for the average water customer (using 17 hundred cubic feet of water each month), the water bill will increase by $3.48 per month ($6.96 per 2 -month billing period). These recommendations were reviewed by the Utilities Committee and recommended for approval. Helen M. &ieron, 3201 4th Street, Corona del Mar, addressed the Council in opposition to the proposed water rate increase. She also stated she was opposed to any increase in sewer charges, and felt her utility bill was becoming more and more like a "tax" bill. She stated she felt the public was being manipulated by clever profiteers. Hearing no one else wishing to address the Council, the public hearing was closed. Motion X Council Member Hart indicated she sympathized with persons such as Ms. Eieron who are on fixed incomes. She also felt the City's volunteer program to conserve water has been an effective and important program. However, she was . also cognizant of the increase in water rates by MWD, and therefore, moved to adopt Ordinance No. 92 -31. Volume 46 - Page 217 COUNCIL MEMBERS • All Ayes • Motion All Ayes • CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH June 22, 1992 Council Member Hedges indicated he would like the Utilities Committee to review the current water billing system with a view to charging for only the actual amount of water used, rather than charging for the number of dwelling units that a property owner may have hooked up. He stated he does not feel a person who has a duplex with one water meter should be charged a fee if one of the units is vacant. He felt the City should charge a base rate for water. He stated he does realize that the increase in water rates by MiTD must be passed onto the user, and therefore, he will support the motion. The motion was voted on and carried. 4. Mayor Sansone opened the public hearing regarding WEED ABATEMENT PROGRAM FOR 1992; AND TO CERTIFY THE LIST OF PROPERTIES THAT MAY REQUIRE WEED ABATEMENT AND /OR CLEANING. Report from the Fire Department. The City Manager reported that this program involves inventorying all lots which require cleaning and sending notification to the owners of those properties. The property owners have the option of cleaning their property prior to the start of the City's cleaning. If they choose not to clean their property, the lot will be cleaned by the City and the cost of the work charged to the property owner's tax bill. There are only five (5) parcels that require City weed abatement. Hearing on one wishing to address the Council, the public hearing was closed. Motion was: made to adopt Resolution No. 92 -68 ordering the Fire Chief to abate weeds and other public nuisances existing upon streets, alleys, sidewalk, parkways and private property within the City. E. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Doug Boyd, 2101 E. Balboa Boulevard, addressed the Council regarding the proposed two -term limit for Council Members. He stated that the petitioners for this measure have collected approximately 8600 signatures to have this matter placed on the November ballot. However, if the City Council were to initiate this Charter Amendment and place it on the ballot, it would save approximately $8,000 in signature verification costs, inasmuch as the Registrar of Voters charges $1.03 per signature. In addition, he pointed out that the Committee to Limit Council Terms timed this issue to coincide with this November election in order to save additional tax dollars by not having a special election. He also noted that Volume 46 - Page 218 MINUTES (41) 92 -68 Term CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH June 22, 1992 • Volume 46 - Page 219 MINUTES /Bike Ln BA -062 pursuant to City Council policy and the City Charter, appointments to City's various Boards and Commissions are limited to only two four -year terms. 2. The following persons addressed the Council in opposition to the proposed • widening of the bike lane on Seashore Drive: Bryan M. McDonald, 3715 Seashore Drive E.L. Moody, 5507 Seashore Drive Bonnie Abrams, 4401 Seashore Drive Nancy Abrams, 4401 Seashore Drive Gene, Dorney, 3807 Seashore Drive Margaret Weimer, 3905 Marcus Avenue It was indicated by all of the above speakers that they were not notified of the proposed widening, and if approved, they felt it would: 1) take away guest parking; 2) create a serious liability on the part of the City; 3) increase the already "hazardous" conditions that exist in this area; 4) cause more accidents because of the removal of the buffer area; and 5) make it even more difficult for property owners to back out of their garages. It was also suggested by one of the speakers, that the bike path be placed on the north side of Seashore Drive. In response to question raised, it was noted that the bike path is proposed to be widened from 10 feet to 14 feet (2 • feet on each side). The City Attorney stated that one of the reasons the Traffic Engineer is recommending the proposed widening, is that vehicles are parking not behind garages on Seashore Drive, but rather in gate spaces (that portion behind the garage and the property line), and as a result encroach right into the bike lane. Consequently, the concern of the Traffic Engineer is that these vehicles provide a significant impediment to sight distance along Seashore Drive and impose a great threat to not only bicyclists, but motorists as well. Following consideration, it was indicated that Budget Amendment No. 062 - $3,000 for sandblasting services for the widening of the bike lane on Seashore Drive will be removed from the Consent Calendar and referred back to staff, and in addition, all affected property owners will be notified of an upcoming informal meeting to review this item further. • Volume 46 - Page 219 MINUTES /Bike Ln BA -062 Motion All Ayes • • • X � �� f CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MINUTES June 22, 1992 ; N:0"Y;t7ai 0:4 o 11. 1 :ii The following actions were taken, except for those items removed: 1.

ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR: 1. Proposed resolution adopting the BUDGET FOR THE 1992 -93 FISCAL YEAR. The City Manager advised that the proposed budget is an "uncertain" budget due to the State's deficit and its impact on the City. He indicated that the City stands to lose a substantial part of its revenues in order for the State to balance their budget. The loss of $5.3 Million would approximate an 11% loss of General Fund revenues and require a great deal of service reductions and /or revenue increases. The loss of property tax is the most likely loss to cities. He, therefore, recommended that the Council adopt the Volume 46 - Page 222 (40) FV 92 -93 Budget (40) • Motion All Ayes Motion All Ayes Motion All Ayes 0 COUNCIL MEMBERS X X X June 22, 1992 proposed budget as an "interim" budget, recognizing that the staff will have to come back at a future date to modify the budget once the City is certain of what action the State is going to take with respect to reducing revenues. He emphasized again that during this interim period, no new positions will be filled, no replacement positions will be filled, and no action will be taken on any capital improvement projects. He also suggested that the Council adjourn this meeting to Thursday, July 2 to receive a report on how the staff would recommend the City deal with this budget after the State has taken their official action. If the State has not adopted their budget by July 2, then there would be no need) to meet. In view of the above comments, Council Member Hedges recommended that the City not expend any monies for any Arts and Cultural grants until such time as the City knows what the State is going to do to this City's budget. Dorrit Fitzgerald, 2753 Vista Umbrosa, addressed the Council regarding funding for the Arts and what might possibly be cut from the current budget. She stated she is the Curator of Exhibitions for the Irvine Fine Arts Center and has hold this position since 1983. She stated that many years ago she participated in the Newport Beach Arts Festival, and won award, and it was this award that gave her the courage to proceed in the arts field. She emphasized the importance of Art in the community and urged the Council to continue funding the City's art program. Hearing no other comments, motion was made to adopt Resolution No. 92 -69 adopting an interim budget for the 1992- 93 fiscal year.

The Planning Director stated that three times a year amendments are initiated to the General Plan. He briefly outlined the process as well as the two proposals under consideration as enumerated in the staff report. He stated that Item A (above) was recommended for initiation by the Planning Commission, however, the Commission made no recommendation on Item B due to a tie vote (3 ayes, 3 noes, 1 absent). In response to question raised by Council Member Hart regarding the widening of Dover Drive, the Public Works Director stated that there are no plans, or proposed program to widen Dover Drive north of Westcliff Drive, and that this issue is completely unrelated to the Castaways project. Lynn Burnett, 706 Harbor Island Drive, applicant for Item B, (2209 Bayside Drive), addressed the Council in support of his request for a General Plan amendment. He stated the proposed subdivision does meet the minimum lot width requirements; it is more than twice the minimum lot size; it is consistent with the size and character of those surrounding lots in Carnation Cove, and for these reasons, initiation of a General Plan amendment is being requested.
