TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDINGBALBOA BAY CLUB
The original 50 -year Balboa Bay Club lease was signed on
March 24, 1948 and was to have expired on August 31, 1998. On
June 10, 1985 the City entered into a Memorandum of Understanding
with the BBC outlining procedures for the consideration of a new 25 -
year lease. On May 12, 1986 the City Council approved of a new
lease adding twelve years to the original lease and increasing the
rental payments to the City. Both the 1985 MOU and the 1986
Agreement required the BBC to prepare a new redevelopment plan
for the BBC consistent with the newly adopted City General Plan and
Land Use Element.
On February 13, 1989 representatives of the Balboa Bay
Club appeared before the City Council at the Study Session and
presented the conceptual redevelopment plan to the City. This
conceptual plan was consistent with the newly adopted City General
Plan. During the presentation of February 13th, it was stated to the
City Council that a new MOU would be presented on March 13, 1989
for the Council's consideration. On March 13th the new MOU and
approval of a refinancing plan was on the Council's evening agenda.
During deliberation by the City Council, it became apparent that
several concerns existed regarding a new 50 -year lease of the Balboa
Bay Club. Additionally, the MOU being considered along with an
authorization for refinancing became somewhat confusing. As a
result, representatives of the BBC verbally withdrew the MOU from
consideration and the City Council requested an independent opinion
as to the ability of the City to legally enter into a 50 -year lease with
the Balboa Bay Club.
Since March 13th the engineers and architects for the BBC
have continued their work, an environmental impact report has been
• commenced, and meetings have been held with different
homeowners' associations within the City to explain the proposed
redevelopment plan. The BBC has now requested that the MOU be
reconsidered by the City Council. Members of the Council will find a
copy of the proposed MOU and a copy of the independent legal
opinion concerning a 50 -year lease attached to this memo. In
essence, the MOU says that the City will, in good faith, consider a 50 -
year term lease provided the City Council agrees with the rental
terms and conditions, and further provided that the final
redevelopment plan is approved by the City and the Coastal
Commission.

On behalf of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach
("City"), you have requested our opinion regarding a proposed
ground lease ("Proposed Lease") between the City and Balboa Bay
Club, Inc., a California corporation ("Bay Club"), for a term of
fifty (50) years covering certain water -front property ("Bay Club
Site") owned by the City and currently leased by Bay Club pursuant
to that certain Lease dated May 13, 1986 ("Existing Lease"). In
particular, you have requested our opinion on the following
issues:
1. Does Section 1402 of the City Charter require voter
approval of the Proposed Lease of the Bay Club Site?
2. Does Section 420 of the City Charter prevent the City
Council from leasing the Bay Club Site for a term in excess of
• twenty-five (25) years if the Proposed Lease provides for City
ownership of all buildings, structures and improvements on the Bay
Club Site when the Proposed Lease expires or is otherwise
terminated?

II. OPINIONS
0
Based upon current California law and the facts and
assumptions set forth below and subject to the discussions and
qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that:
1. The express provisions of Section 1402 of the City
Charter do not require approval of the Proposed Lease by a
majority of the electors voting on the issue at a general or
special municipal election.
2. The express provisions of Section 420 of the City Charter
do not prohibit the City Council from entering into the Proposed
Lease of the Bay Club Site to Bay Club without voter approval for
a term in excess of twenty-five (25) years if the Proposed Lease
provides for the City to acquire ownership of all buildings,
structures and improvements on the Bay Club Site when the Proposed
Lease expires or is otherwise terminated.
We have examined copies of the following documents for
purposes of this opinion: (i) the letter dated as of March 28,
1989, from City Attorney Robert H. Burnham to the Honorable Bruce
Sumner (the "City Attorney Letter"), and (ii) the Existing Lease,
a copy of which was furnished to us by you. With respect to all
factual matters referenced herein, we have relied solely on the
City Attorney Letter, and we have not made any independent inquiry
with regard to factual matters upon which our opinions are based.
In rendering our opinions herein, we have assumed with your
approval and at your direction that Sections 420 and 1402 are the
only provisions of the City Charter which are applicable to the
questions presented.
A. Factual Background
The electorate of the City of Newport Beach adopted a city
charter in 1955 ("City Charter"), including Section 420, entitled
"Contracts. Restrictions." That section provides in pertinent
part:
The City Council shall not have the power to make or
authorize any contract or lease or extension thereof for
a longer period than twenty-five (25) years unless said
rtf/NES86-001/opinion
Robert H. Burnham, Esq.
City Attorney
City of Newport Beach
May 18, 1989
• Page 3
contract, lease or extension be approved by a majority
of the qualified electors of the City voting on such
question at any election. A contract, lease or
extension for a longer period shall be valid without
such approval if it provides for the acouisition by th
property so leased or contracted for... (Emphasis
added).
In 1957, the City added to its City Charter Section 1402,
entitled "Waterfront Property". That section provides:
The City Council shall not sell or convey any water-
front or beach property, excepting to the State or to
the County for use as a public beach or park.
No such property owned by the City shall be leased by
the City unless and until the leasing thereof shall have
• been approved by a majority of the electors voting on
such proposition at any general or special municipal
election, provided, however, that this Section shall not
lease at the effective date of this Charier. (Emphasis
added).
In 1948, prior to adoption of the City Charter, the City
entered into a fifty (50) year lease of the Bay Club Site ("1948
Lease").
In 1986, the City entered into the Existing Lease of the Bay
Club Site with Bay Club, the assignee of the lessee's interest
under the 1948 Lease. The Existing Lease provides that it is a
re -lease of property under lease prior to the date on which the
City Charter was adopted, and that the City will become the owner
of all structures and improvements upon termination of the
Existing Lease, thereby exempting the Existing Lease from the
• voter approval requirements of Sections 420 and 1402. The term of
the Existing Lease extends for 25 years, expiring in 2011.
Bay Club is presently contemplating redevelopment of the Bay
Club Site, but desires that the City and Bay Club enter into a new
fifty (50) year lease to facilitate Bay Club proceeding with such
redevelopment.

IV. LEGAL ANALYSIS
Our legal analysis will first review the general authority of
the City to enter into the Proposed Lease, then summarize the
nature and scope of a city charter, discuss the rules for
construing city charter provisions and apply those rules of
construction to the City Charter provisions which are expressly at
issue.
A. California Statutory Provisions Applicable to General
Powers of Cities to Lease Property.
Subject to certain restrictions, California law confers upon
a city the right to lease real property owned by the city.
California Government Code Section 37350 expressly confers on
cities the general power to purchase, lease, receive, hold and
• enjoy real and personal property and control and dispose of it for
the common benefit. Government Code Section 37380 authorizes a
city to lease property owned by it, or any of its departments, for
terms not to exceed a specified number of years. In general, a
city may not lease real property for a term which exceeds fifty-
five (55) years, unless certain conditions are satisfied, in which
case the maximum term is ninety-nine (99) years. Additionally,
various statutory provisions authorize and restrict the ability of
cities to lease properties for various specified purposes and
terms. See, e.g., the following Government Code Sections:
Section 37382 (land used for agricultural or horticultural
purposes not to exceed 25 years), Section 37383 (land used for the
production of minerals, oil, gas or other hydrocarbons not to
exceed 35 years), Section 37384 (tide or submerged lands not to
exceed 50 years), Section 37385 (water -front or harbor facility
development lands not to exceed 66 years); and Civil Code Section
718 (lease for a term in excess of 99 years not valid).
B. Nature and Scope of a City Charter.
Section 3 of Article 11 of the California Constitution
• empowers a city to adopt a charter by vote of its electors. A
city charter represents the supreme law of a city, subject only to
conflicting provisions in the California and United States
Constitutions or to preemptive state or federal law. Harman v.
San Francisco, 7 Cal.3d 150, 161 (1972); Stuart v. Civil Service
Com-, 174 Cal.App.3d 201, 206 (1985). As such, the charter is a
municipal corporation's constitution and will be upheld unless it
rtf/NE586-001/opinlon
I
Robert H. Burnham, Esq.
City Attorney
City of Newport Beach

Page 5
• is clearly shown to have been, at the time of its enactment,
repugnant to or inconsistent with the then fundamental law. A
charter supersedes all laws, ordinances, rules or regulations that
are inconsistent with its provisions. California Constitution,
Article 11, Section 5(a).
C.
Notwithstanding its priority and position, a city charter
operates not as a grant of power, but only as an instrument of
limitation and restriction on the exercise of power over all
municipal affairs, which power a city council is assumed to
possess. City of Grass Valley v. Walkinshaw, 34 Cal.2d 595, 598-
99 (1949); DeYouna v. City of San Diego, 147 Cal.App.3d 11, 17
(1983). If a limitation or restriction is not clearly and
expressly stated, it may not be implied and the full exercise of a
municipal power will be permitted. DeYoung v. City of San Dieao,
•
supra, 147 Cal.App.3d at 17. A construction in favor of the
exercise of this power and against the existence of any limitation
or restriction thereon which is not expressly stated in the city
charter is clearly indicated. Id. at 17. All rules of statutory
construction as applied to charter provisions are subject to this
principle. Id. at 17.
D. Construction of City Charter Sections 420 and 1402.
(1) Section 1402 - Water -front Property
Section 1402 expressly restricts the leasing of water-
front property by the City by requiring that the City first obtain
voter approval. An exception to that restriction is created,
however, for the future leasing or re-leasing of any water -front
property under lease at the effective date of the City Charter.
Governed by the rule that a city charter is solely an
instrument of express limitation regarding power over municipal
affairs, Section 1402 limits the City's power to lease water -front
property without first obtaining voter approval, but the
• limitation does not apply in the case of a future leasing or re-
leasing of any water -front property under lease as of the 1955
effective date of the City Charter. For the future leasing or re-
leasing of such property, no voter approval is expressly required,
and according to the rule of construction articulated in City of
Grass Valley and DeYouna, a voter approval requirement cannot and
should not be implied.

The Bay Club Site was under lease in 1948, prior to the
1955 effective date of the City Charter. By the terms of Section
1402, no voter approval would be required for a future lease or
re -lease of the Bay Club Site to the Bay Club, because the Bay
Club Site was under lease as of 1955. Thus, Section 1402 would
not serve to require voter approval of the Proposed Lease.
(2) Section 420 - Leases in Excess of 25 Years
Section 420 expressly prohibits the City from entering
into a lease having a term of more than twenty-five (25) years
without voter approval, unless the lease provides for the City to
acquire the real or personal property so leased at the end of the
lease term.
The City Charter excludes from its restriction, and
therefore reserves unto the City, the power of the City to enter
• into leases longer than twenty-five (25) years without voter
approval upon the satisfaction of a certain condition; namely, the
lease must provide for the City to acquire the leased real or
personal property at the and of the lease term. It follows that
leases for terms longer than twenty-five (25) years are thus
permissible without voter approval, subject to the condition set
forth in Section 420 and to the general limitations of California
law pertaining to leases.
By the terms of the City Charter, and pursuant to the rule of
construction set forth in City of Grass Valley and DeYouna, the
City can enter into the Proposed Lease without voter approval,
notwithstanding the fifty (50) year term of the Proposed Lease, so
long as the Proposed Lease provides for City ownership of all
buildings, structures and improvements on the Bay Club Site upon
the expiration or earlier termination of the Proposed Lease term.
Based on the foregoing, the express provisions of Sections
420 and 1402 of the City Charter do not prohibit the City from
entering into the Proposed Lease for the Bay Club Site, and the
interpretation and construction of those Sections in a manner
• consistent with the character of the City Charter and relevant
rules of statutory construction do not yield a different result.
It is important to note that the City's ability to enter into
the Proposed Lease without voter approval is based upon exceptions
to the general limitations contained in City Charter Sections 420
and 1402. While the City has the power to enter into the Proposed
Lease without voter approval, the City may wish to submit the
Proposed Lease matter to the electorate in recognition of the
rti/NE585-001/opinion
Robert H. Burnham, Esq.

• unique nature of the Bay Club Site and the general sensitivity to
long term leases and leases of water -front property expressed by
Sections 420 and 1402. The judgment on the question of submission
of the Proposed Lease matter to the voters is not a legal one,
however, but is left to the discretion of the City Council.
In rendering the foregoing opinions, our examination of
matters of law has been limited to the laws of the State of
California.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
The CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ("CITY") and INTERNATIONAL BAY CLUBS,
INC. ("CLUB") acknowledge the following:
RECITALS
A. On March 24, 1948, CITY and CLUB's predecessor
entered into a fifty (50) year lease ("Original Lease") of
waterfront property owned by the City, now commonly known as the
Balboa Bay Club ("The Property").
B. On May 12, 1986, CITY and CLUB agreed to extend the
term, and otherwise amend provisions, of the Original Lease ("New
Lease").
C. CLUB has, through a series of transactions, acquired
the right to possession of the property pursuant to the New Lease.
D. CLUB contends the financial commitments necessary to
implement the Master Plan cannot be justified in the absence of a
lease with a term of fifty (50) years.
E. Prior to incurring additional expenses relative to
the Master Plan, CLUB wishes to confirm CITY's commitment to
consider an extension of the New Lease sufficient to ensure CLUB's
ability to finance, and amortize, improvements contemplated by the
Master Plan.
In light of the foregoing, CITY and CLUB confirm the following:
1. CITY has the legal authority, but is not required, to
approve an extension of the New Lease for a term not to exceed
fifty (50) years.
2. CITY and CLUB shall immediately commence negotiations
regarding the terms and conditions of an amendment to the New
Lease which could, among other things, extend the term for a
period of up to, but not more than, fifty (50) years.
3. Negotiations between CITY and CLUB shall be conducted
as follows:
a. The Ad Hoc City Council Budget Committee shall
represent the CITY in negotiations with CLUB representatives.
b. CITY shall commission an appraisal of the
property to assist in determining Fair Market Rental Value.
C. The Budget Committee shall periodically report
to the City Council on the status of negotiations and to receive
direction if necessary.
d. All terms and conditions of any amendment to the
New Lease shall be subject to the approval of the City Council.
4. Execution of this MOU does not obligate CITY to
approve the Master Plan, any related permit, or any extension of
the New Lease. CLUB is processing the Master Plan in compliance
with the provisions of the New Lease and anticipates, but has no
assurance of, CITY approval of a substantial extension to the term
of the New Lease.

RE: The Balboa Bay Club's Request for a Land Lease Extension
Dear Mayor Strauss and Members of the City Council:
It has been brought to our attention that representatives from
The Balboa Bay Club will be appearing before you on October 30th
in the hopes of gaining the City of Newport Beach's authorization
to extend the term on their land lease an additional fifty years.
On Thursday evening. September 27th, our Board of Directors
unanimously passed a motion to endorse this request for a lease
extension and authorize this letter to you. Our reasons are
thus:
1. The Balboa Bay Club has, for years. embraced and supported a
multitude of philanthropic endeavors by donating its
facilities and services for fund-raising activities and/or
educational programs. We've heard the argument that the
Club does not avail itself to the general public. However,
in the over-all scheme of things, is it, if not better, just
as good, to extend a hand to those that really need our
help and support? We think so, and in our observation, this
willingness and un -selfish attitude should be more than
sufficient reason to extend the Club's lease.
2. Simply speaking, it's financially prudent to extend the
lease. The revenues generated through the land lease,
bed taxes, sales taxes, etc. are fair and equitable
compensation to the city, county and state.
3. For the Club to believe enough in the value of our community,
to put these 'after tax" dollars back into its facility,
validates the Club's belief in our community. And, again
the planned redevelopment and modernization proposal does
not just take into consideration the Club's needs but the
neighbors' and public's needs as well. Their redevelopment
plans call for reconstruction further away from the Club's
boundaries "opening up enhanced water -view corridors from
the Bayshores, Newport Heights and Cliff Haven residential
communities and from Pacific Coast Highway."

We believe The Balboa Bay Club has proven itself to be a good

addressed and, we believe, will continue to be concerned about,
the philanthropic, financial and aesthetic needs of our
community. Therefore, the Board of Directors of the Balboa
Coves Community Association hopes that you will favorably
consider granting The Balboa Bay Club's request for an extention
of this land lease.

As (a) resident(s) of Newport Beach (and a member of the (specify

support for the Balboa Bay Club's request to enter a new fifty
year lease to permit redevelopment of the property.
I (we) believe the Club is a tremendous asset to the City and

many reasons: (specify these or substitute others)
1. The planning completed to date represents an overdue and needed
improvement of a City asset and impressively deals with strong
visual and functional improvements to the entire property,
including parking, water views, and view corridors. I (we)
understand that the plan fully complies with all elements
of the City General Plan, such as building height limits,
land coverage, and parking.
2. Improvements to the Terrace Apartments that update the look
and new landscaping will improve the appearance from Coast
Highway and the overlooking bluffs, while the entire develop-
ment will provide a dramatic visual enhancement from all views.
The new entrance, traffic circulation plan, and Coast Highway
traffic signal will provide a major improvement to traffic

Dear Mayor Strauss and Members of the City Council:
I have lived in Newport Beach for forty years, 37 in one
house on Lido Isle. When my husband passed away in 1986
I moved to The Balboa Bay Club, Apt. #306, and hope to live
here the rest of my life. I have been active in many local
organizations, the Orange County Philharmonic Society, and
founded The Fashionables in 1971, raising $250,000 for student
scholarships (Orange County students were specified!) I am
now getting back into volunteer work in the County.
T would like to ask you to support the Bay Club's plans
for redevelopment of the property. I believe the Club is
not only a tremendous asset to me but to the City. Improve-
ments to the Terrace Apartments, where I lie, and new land-
scaping is badly needed. It would also improve the Club's
appearance from Coast Highway and the overlooking bluffs.
The new entrance, traffic circulation plan, and a Coast
Highway traffic signal will provide a major improvement to
traffic safety.
It's my understanding that the lease extension is reasonable,
and an action legally authorized by our City Charter. The
lease extension and redevelopment should surely provide long
term financial and community serving benefits to our City.
And so I do hope your will support these long range plans,
that the Balboa Bay Club can proceed without further costly
delays, perhaps jeopardizing implementation of the plan.

RE: Balboa Bay Club's Request For New 50 Year Lease
Dear Honorable Mayor and Council:
As a member of one of the committees working on BBC's proposed
physical redevelopment, I learned that the matter of the new 50
year lease will again be on the council's agenda sometime later
this month.
I personally endorse the proposed improvements of BBC. Further, I
recommend that Council approve of the new 50 year lease which, I
understand, is necessary to effectuate the overall plan.
My recommendation is based on the following considerations:
(1) The new facilities will present a vast aesthetic improvement
over the present archaic buildings.
(2) Greater usage of the BBC by not only members, but the public
will result in greater revenue to the City.
(3) The improvements will afford more accomodations for regional
and national conferences. This would be a public relations "plus"
for the City.
(4) Approving the BBC proposal will adhere to good planning prin-
ciples. Any business oriented planner, after surveying the present
facilities, would undoubtedly recommend that the existing build-
ings should be torn down and new facilities be built worthy of the
'D`0 f-c-u�TT/—�

When I was City Attorney of Inglewood we built a ten story city
hall, police facility and library - much of it on the middle of a
public street, even though the City did not own the underlying fee
and even though the heirs of the dedicator could not be located.
Bonds, approved by bond counsel, were issued in spite of that
technicality. The beautiful new facilities stand today where
there once was a street. The police building in Culver City was
built in spite of a vote by the electorate turning down the bond-
ing for it. After the election, it was built (with cash) author-
ized by three Council votes. Two voted the technicality, i.e.
"No". At the police building dedication ceremony, one councilmem-
ber who had voted "No" told me that he regretted his negative
vote.
When you see the plan for the new BBC, I am sure that business and
planning judgement will prevail over technicalities, however well
intentioned they are raised.

RE: The Balboa Bay Club's Request for a Land Lease Extension
Dear Mayor Strauss and Members of the City Council:
As a long-time resident of Newport Beach and member of the Balboa
Bay Club's Board of Governors, I am writing to you in the hopes
that you will indeed consider granting the Club's request to
extend the term on their land lease an additional fifty years.
This extension is necessary to gain the necessary financing for
their extensive improvement program.
I believe that approval of this request should be granted for the
following reasons:
1. The Club has shown every consideration by addressing the
functional and asthetic aspects of their improvement plan
while simultaneously complying with the City's General Plan.
2. From a revenue standpoint, I believe it is, and will continue
to be, a prudent and viable source of income to the City.
3. The Balboa Bay Club is an integral part of our city's
historic fabric.
The Balboa Bay Club has proven itself to be a good neighbor to
the citizens of this community. It has considered, addressed
and, I believe, will continue to be concerned about, the
philanthropic, financial and aesthetic needs of our community.
Therefore, I do hope that you will favorably consider granting
The Balboa Bay Club's request for an extention of thi land
lease.

Dear Mayor Strauss and Members of the Council:
We would like to ask your support for the Balboa Bay Club's
proposed lease extension, which will probably be presented
for review the end of this October.
As residents of Newport Beach since 1979, we feel that the
Balboa Bay Club is a great asset to the City of Newport Beach.
The BBC has been an institution in our beach area for many
years; three and four generations of Southern Californians
have enjoyed its amenities. The new plans (which meet all
elements of the General Plan - particularly the height limit)
will make this facility even more functional, beautiful. and
an even greater addition to our city.
Specifically, there are two items that we feel should be
addressed, since they directly affect all residents of our area:
Public use of the Balboa Bay Club: The Balboa
Bay Club is presently used by mariy cTvic, cultural and charitable
groups from Newport Beach, Orange County and all of Southern
California for an assortment of meetings and functions. The
Bay Club has a very open policy encouraging use of their public
rooms - and with the redevelopment of the club areas, these
public areas will be even more functional and beautiful.
Access to the Balboa Bay Club: As you are
aware, theBay ITuT w1lT be paying mor The signal and any
necessary entrance and turn changes on Pacific Coast Highway.
This segment of the highway has had a series of accidents,
primarily by residents trying to access the club area. We
feel this addition to Pacific Coast Highway will make the
highway safer for all, and will remove a very hazardous stretch
of road. l

We urge yby-r support of these plans.

We are residents of Newport Beach and would like to ask your
support for the Balboa Bay Club's request to enter a new fifty
year lease to permit redevelopment of the property.
We believe the Club is an asset to the City and the lease extension
and redevelopment proposal would enhance the property as well
as being an asset to the City. Any other plans for this property
would probably pose a liability for the City and take away a
major source of income.
The lease extension and redevelopment would provide a tremendous
financial benefit to the City as well as helping serve with
community projects.
We sincerely urge your support and
to permit planning to proceed without
jeopardize implementation of the plan.

RE: Balboa Bay Club Lease Extension
Dear Mayor Strauss:
As a resident of the Balboa Bay Club Terrace Apartments I would
urge that the City Council support the Bay Club's request For
a lease extension.
I appeared before the Council at the first public meeting to
ask that the Council vote and not delay this very important
government responsibility to the community. As you and the
Council must know, it is impossible to Finance any development
when waiting for government approvals and cost continue to go
up. Lack of action on the part of local government has probably
been the largest contributor to high costs to the consumer in
California.
In order to not be redundant, I will copy this letter to the
other six members of the Council via Wanda Raggio, City Clerk.
It is important For the Council to understand that the Newport
Beech community is truly behind this request to improve the
area. As President of the USC Alumni Association in Newport
Beach, I have had the opportunity to question many people from
many perspectives and so far have not found any opposition to
the Bay Club's plans. Of course, I can't speak For the USC
Alumni, but I do think that it is a broad overview of the Newport
community feeling in reference to this development.
Thank you For taking time
you and other members of
ably go��unr warded.

As residents of Newport Beach and members of the
Balboa Bay Club since 1976, we solicit your support
for the Bay Club's request to enter a new fifty (50)
year lease in order to permit redevelopment of the
property.
We believe the Club is an extremely important asset
to the City of Newport Beach and has been so since
the late 1940's, when we first had the privilege of
attending their Saturday night buffet/dinner dance.
we believe the proposal is merited for the following
reasons:
1. The plan represents an overdue and much
needed improvement of a city asset and
impressively deals with strong, visual
and functional improvements to the entire
property, including parking, water views,
and view corridors. We understand the
plan fully complies with all elements
of the City General Plan, i.e., building
height limits, land coverage and parking.
2. Improvements will update the look and new
landscaping will improve the appearance
from Coast Highway and the overlooking
bluffs. The entire development will pro-
vide a dramatic visual enhancement from
all angles. The new entrance, traffic
circulation plan and Coast Highway traffic
are much needed now and will provide a
major improvement to traffic and safety.
3• The lease extension and redevelopment will
provide longterm financial and community
serving benefits to our City.
4. The lease extension request is reasonable
and is an action legally authorized by our
City Charter.

We urge your support and approval of the Balboa
Bay Club's proposal to permit planning to proceed
without further costly delays which may jeopordize
the entire project and implementation of the plan.

Dear Mayor Strauss & Members of the City Council:
Having been privileged to observe and applaud the develop-
ment arra progress of Newport Beach over the past seven decades, I
should like to pass on some of my observations relating to the
ground lease of The Balboa Bay Club location.
The amazing growth of Newport Beach, the harbor, and its
environs has been parallel by a strong and wholesome development
of The Balboa Bay Club. The club has become a major factor in
commerce, public relations, yachting, philanthropy and other
desirable assets to the city.
In the year 2011, the ground lease would be due to expire.
As you are well aware, the lease has been a very lucrative source
of income to the city, and such source of income should be
perpetuated.
The club now wishes to make major improvements to the
property, which could of necessity, require a lease extension.
My forty -year relationship with the club has been excellent,
and my age would indicate that I should not be concerned about the
year 2011; however, it is my wish that future generations might be
erdowed with the advantages and pleasures our city now affords. I
feel that The Balboa Bay Club continues to exert a positive effect
on the city, the harbor, and the surrounding area. It would there-
fore behoove all the concerned parties to cooperate closely in our
interest of continued growth.
Thank you for giving consideration to my feelings on these
most important matters.
Sincerely,

As a long-time resident of Newport Beach and a member of the Balboa Bay

Club's fifty year lease request. The Club's plans for renovation are
extensive and because of this they will need a fifty year lease to
finance and amortize the improvements.
The Balboa Bay Club is deeply rooted in the history of our community.
As a young reporter, it was where I spent much time covering social,
charitable and civic events. It was then, and still remains, a focal
point of community leadership activities for our city. I believe the
Club is a tremendous asset to our community and the lease extension and
the Club's redevelopment proposal will only help to better the
important communications and social link it has become.
The planning completed to date represents an overdue and needed

Dear Mayor Strauss and Members of the City Council:
My name is Robert Boggio. I have lived full time in our
beautiful City of Newport Beach since the late 70s and part
time since birth ( I am 51 years old ). I am proud to say I
have been a member and/or participant in various ways of the
Balboa Bay Club most of by life.
The City of Newport Beach has more to offer than any other
City in Orange County, and we are all proud of that! Part of
that pride is due directly to the Balboa Bay Club. The Club
has maintained integrity throughout its existance and
continues to be a major asset to the City of Newport Beach.
It would be hard for me to believe that anyone would be in
disagreement that Club rejuvination would in fact bolster the
City of Newport Beach, in many ways. The visual and functional
improvements alone will promote additional revenue as well as
beautification for our City. Traffic which is always a concern
will also be benefitted by this master plan.
Mayor Strauss and Members of the City Council, I ask you at
this time to act in the best interest of Newport Beach and
grant the extension to the Balboa Bay Club and let them get on
with the work. Help them to help our City. I personally have
heard not one valid objection to this plan that would hurt our
City, so my vote must go with the Balboa Bay Club, and I urge
you to support this plan also.
Thank you for your attention, I look
continued success for Newport Beach.

Bill Ray has completed the financial transaction which included
use of the Bay Club Lease as partial security for repayment of a
loan for approximately $30 million dollars. In the past week, the
Mayor Pro Tem has signed two documents related to this
transaction. The first document changed the name, but not
structure, of certain parties to the Consent to Assignment. The
second document is a Memorandum of Lease which incorporates by
reference the terms of the 1986 Lease and the memorandum will be
recorded instead of the entire lease. These documents do not
constitute any substantive change to the transaction or documents
approved by the City Council.
The parties to the transaction will send fully executed copies
of all relevant documents to the City Clerk within ten days.
Please call if you have any questions.
