Council Member Nichols stated that the action is premature. He explained that the park is paying for itself, and it doesn't make sense to Volume 57 - Page 296 INDEX Marina Park Mobile home Park (73/100 -2005) City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes June 14, 2005 close the park and lose the income. Council Member Rosansky noted that it has been determined that the use at the Marina Park site will be changed, and the recommended action is to determine how to go about the process, how long the mobile homes should be allowed to stay, if revenue can be derived from the property until the change in use is decided, and to identify funds and obtain the necessary approvals for the chosen alternative- Jim Hildreth stated that Marina Park used to be called the Newport Campground, and its current use is appropriate. He stated that the site is open to the public and there is no reason to make a change. Substitute motion by Council Member Nichols to not proceed with any changes at the site until a decision is made on the use of the site. Council Member Heffernan agreed with Council Member Nichols comments, but stated that the process for relocation needs to begin so that the overall costs can be determined.

The motion carried by the following roll call vote: Ayes: Heffernan, Rosansky, Webb, Ridgeway, Daigle, Nichols, Mayor Bromberg Noes: None Abstain: None Absent: None Q.
