As per your letter (Nov 18, 1987) asking us to take our airport concerns to
the Newport Beach Aviation Committee, Balboa Island residents have been
trying for a year to work through the Aviation Committee. Our valid
suggestions and requests have met with resistance from the onset. This
opposition is very easy to understand when one looks at the addresses of
the members of your aviation committee. It is comprised of members living
on the west side of Newport Bay. Balboa Island just recently got a seat
(the first and still only on the east side of the bay). This committee
will continue to be a sham for residents who live on the east side of the
bay until it is equally representative of both sides of the bay.
Peninsula Point must have a seat as aircraft are routed directly over their
homes. Eastbluff should also be represented. In the past, aviation
committee members made their own recommendations for aviation committee
members which only served to perpetuate their protectionist stance.
Members must be nominated by homeowners' groups to assure they have their
neighborhood's best interest at heart.
For example, Lido is one of the least impacted areas of the city yet the
chairman lives on Lido as does the holder of one of the "citizen" seats.
This is double representation. Turner, Edwards and Drummond give Dover
Shores/Westcliff "triple" representation. These seats should be vacated to
assure that both Peninsula Point and Eastbluff get the seats they deserve.
Please circulate this to City Council Members. Thank you.
Sincerely
Mary G. Singleton, Chairperson of CARE
