RE: Balboa Angling Club Lease Renewal J —)&
Dear Councilmen:
The Balboa Angling Club desires to renew the present lease on
its Clubhouse located at the front of "A" Street. The Club has
devoted much effort to various civic projects in the past and
in the present, including sponsorship of the Annual Junior
Fishing Tournament which is open to all youngsters in the Newport
area, the vast majority of whose parents do not belong to the Club.
The Clubhouse is open to the public for use as a meeting room upon
request and with absolutely no charge to the using group. Many
groups have availed themselves of the Clubhouse facilities including
Coast Guard Auxiliary Boat Inspection and Balboa Peninsula Point
Association.
During the Spring, Summer and Fall months the Clubhouse is open
for the purpose of weighing in all species of fish. No charge
is made for this service and any members of the public may bring
in his catch for weighing. On many occasions during the summer
and fall months, the Clubhouse remains open for weighing purposes
until late evening when a message is received that a swordfish has
been taken and the angler is still far out at sea. The Balboa
Angling Club scales are certified accurate so that world record
catches taken in local waters shall be recognized by the Inter-
national Game Fish Association. The Club presents a certificate
of recognition to every angler, including all non -club members,
for weighing in a swordfish. During the period of 1955 to 1965
over 55% of the swordfish weighed in at the Club facilities were
caught by non - members of the Club.
The Club has been in contact with Mr. Seymore of the City Attorney's
Office and Mr. Seymore stated that he felt there was more than
adequate public use received from these facilities in order to
allow a future lease of the premises to the Club.
For the above reasons the undersigned, as President of the Balboa
Angling Club, requests that the present lease between the City of
Newport Beach and the Balboa Angling Club be extended for a 10 -year
term.
