Approve recommendation to proceed with a LEED certified building. Approve Memorandum of Understanding with Lido Partners, Inc. for conditional approval of a lot -line adjustment. 6. Direct staff to work with a financing team to develop potential financing for the project. PROJECT BACKGROUND: The facilities comprising the current City Hall complex vary in age and efficiency. An April 2002 Building Assessment by Griffin Structures concluded that the facilities have met the short-term needs of the City in the past, but developing issues with work environments, space allocations, lack of adequate parking, and inefficiency in systems Subject: Selection of Site Plan for Schematic Design of City Hall, Fire Station, and Parking Structure May 10, 2005 Page: 2 have been caused by inadequate long -term planning. The lack of a central lobby or entry point causes confusion in circulation and difficulty in control of security. None of buildings meet current practices for seismic design or ADA requirements, and the separation of buildings causes great inefficiencies in HVAC and electrical systems, as well as confusion on the part of the public. The City Hall complex is composed of the following structures: Building A — Council Chambers 3,578 square -foot structure built in 1975. It has public seating for 112 people in the Council Chambers; the building is rated to safely hold 187 people. Building B — Main Building This 12,803 square -foot building was built in 1945 and houses the City Clerk and City Managers staff offices, part of Administrative Services, Human Resources, and part of Recreation and Senior Services Building C — Professional Services Building This 13,489 square -foot building was built 1985 and houses the Building, Planning, and Public Works Departments Buildings D and E — Annex Buildings 13,489 square -feet compilation of buildings, circa 1945 -1960 housing the Print Shop, MIS, central phone server, Fire Administration, part of Recreation and Senior Services, and the City Attorney's Office Fire Station - constructed in the mid- 1950's and remodeled on three occasions. The demand for more space has slowly grown over time. Increasing population and the associated effects on housing, business, transportation, and public infrastructure has increased the need for more staff and workspace to ensure quality public services. Increasing regulations such as the CEQA, the Coastal Act, water quality laws, and updated Building and Fire Codes have also increased the need for staff over time. More recently, the demand for limited housing in Orange County has caused an explosion in remodeling and expansion of existing homes. Discussions to replace, remodel, and relocate City Hall have been going on since the 1960's. In the 1970's, there was a plan to consolidate City Government functions to the Fashion Island area. The proposed 19.2 acre property, named Civic Center Plaza, would include the Police Department, Fire Department, City Hall and a County Court. That effort never came to fruition and only the Police Station and a Fire Station were eventually constructed at that location. In 1985, the City added its first building to replace the temporary offices (commonly referred to as the Tea House) that were situated in the parking lot along Newport Boulevard and the temporary annex, leased space in a building at the corner of Via Oporto and 32nd Street. Unfortunately, the building was downsized due to funding limitations, resulting in a new building with little room for future staff growth and record storage needs. In the early 1990's, Newport Subject: Selection of Site Plan for Schematic Design of City Hall, Fire Station, and Parking Structure May 10, 2005 Page: 3 Boulevard was widened and the City Council elected to replace the parking lot along Newport Boulevard with a green belt as it is today. More recently, we are seeing the same situation that occurred before 1985 with the addition of two temporary trailers to house employees. The first trailer was required to house our code and water quality enforcement personnel that are required under new Federally mandated water quality regulations and programs. The building inspectors have been moved to a second trailer to allow for additional planning and building plan check personnel to keep up with the increasing building and remodeling demand. Last year, the City processed 11,628 building permits which exceeds all other cities countywide. However, unlike 1985, there is no more space to construct additional structures to replace these temporary facilities. RECENT HISTORY: At the July 24, 2001 City Council meeting, staff was directed to develop a scope of services for a City Hall Needs Assessment to pursue a long -term strategic plan for City Hall facilities that would address space needs, facility access, mobility, storage, and customer service. An invitation to submit qualifications was sent to all architectural firms with a Newport Beach business license and a small list of firms recommended by other local agencies (see attached list of all 51 solicited firms). Twelve firms attended a site tour of the campus, and of those, the following eight firms submitted their qualifications to provide space utilization and needs analysis services: • Environ Architecture Saunders Design Group • Griffin Structures, Inc. Thirtieth Street Architects, Inc. • Dougherty & Dougherty Roberto A.Viggayan & • The Hill Partnership, Inc. Associates • James Lawson Pirdy, AIA, Inc. Staff reviewed the qualifications of the firms and the following three firms were chosen to respond to the City's Request for Proposal: • Dougherty & Dougherty • Thirtieth Street Architects • Griffin Structures, Inc. Griffin's proposal was ranked the highest based upon the firm's qualifications, past experience on similar projects, and availability. Staff then negotiated a $154,780 Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Griffin Advisors, Inc. to perform a comprehensive space utilization assessment, needs analysis, and provide recommendations for the City Hall campus facility expansion. These studies were completed in August 2002. Subject: Selection of Site Plan for Schematic Design of City Hall, Fire Station, and Parking Structure May 10, 2005 Page: 4 Based on the result of the space needs assessment study, on June 10, 2003, Council approved a PSA with Griffin Structures Incorporated (Griffin) at a cost not to exceed $578,185 for project administration and management; and A/E design services through the completion of schematic design (see attached report dated 6/10/03). In addition to the approval of the PSA, staff was directed to: engage in discussions with the adjacent property owner of Via Lido Plaza Center regarding a potential lot line adjustment. Staff was also directed to schedule a series of community workshops to receive input regarding planning and design of the project. At that meeting, Mr. Roger Torriero of Griffin also presented a report titled, "Comparisons of Continued Occupancy of Existing City Hall vs. Effective Cost of Occupancy in a Replacement City Hall" which discussed the advantages of constructing a new facility versus remodeling and expanding the existing City Hall. After some discussion, the Council majority (6 -1) passed a motion receiving and filing the report and additionally determined that no further investigation of a possible site for City Hall off the current Balboa Peninsula campus was necessary (see attached City Council Minutes and agenda report dated 6/10/03). Shortly after that meeting, the Building Committee met to discuss the City Hall project, and it was decided to put the contract with Griffin on hold due to potential conflict of interest concerns regarding Roger Torriero's involvement with a group attempting to redevelop the Lido Village Marina area. Since that time, Griffin has resolved the potential conflicts to the satisfaction of the City Manager and City Attorney by withdrawing from participation in the Lido Village Marina project. DISCUSSION: On February 8, 2005, the City Council approved moving forward with the schematic design process and lot line adjustment discussions with the adjacent property owner. As a condition of moving forward with the schematic design process, Griffin was charged with investigating the question of whether or not to remodel or replace the existing buildings at City Hall. Councilmember Webb had expressed the desire to keep as many existing buildings as were economically sound as a part of the project. Staff and Griffin were also directed to conduct public outreach workshops to gather input on the schematic design for any new or remodeled facilities. While site layout scenarios were developed, the first public workshop was held on March 5, 2005 (minutes available in City Clerk's office). The architect, LPA, gathered opinions on design elements and priorities for a new City Hall campus. Due to low turnout, the second meeting was postponed to allow for improved public noticing. (see attached Council memo dated April 12, 2005 for public outreach efforts) The design team, with the assistance of Councilman Webb, explored several remodel scenarios and narrowed them to three site layouts, each with a different combination of new and existing buildings. These options and alternatives were presented at the second public workshop on April 2, 2005 (minutes available in City Clerk's office). Subject: Selection of Site Plan for Schematic Design of City Hall, Fire Station, and Parking Structure May 10, 2005 Page: 5 Department adjacencies were then developed for each option and construction cost estimates for the City Hall portion of the project were developed. These estimates include substructure, superstructure, interiors, MEP (plumbing, HVAC, and electrical), contingency funds, and an additive option to replace the Council Chambers. The following three options were then presented to the public in the April 23`d and 25th workshops: During the public outreach, an email address was established to collect public input, opinion, and suggestions. Over the past several months, the City has received over 100 contacts and several questions have been asked that were not answered in the formal presentations. A question and answer section is attached, as well as a summary of public comments received. The Building Ad Hoc Committee has selected Option 3 as the most efficient solution, and is recommending the replacement of the Council Chambers and inclusion of the community center. The 2,600 square -foot community room (an addition of $497,000 to the project) would have a meeting capacity of approximately 150 people and would be a resource to organizations throughout the community. It may include a small service kitchen which could be used for special events. The community room would be situated in a way that it would have external entrances to allow access when City Hall is closed. However, the addition of the community center does present the need for increased parking. While the building needs assessment report provided detailed information regarding the practical needs for City Hall parking and set that number at approximately 250 , parking must be provided based on maximum attendance if all City facilities were in use simultaneously. This condition requires the City to provide a structure with about 350 parking stalls. A very preliminary estimate for the 350 -space structure prepared by Griffin Structures would be $4.6 million. The current fire station is 11,520 square -feet and is located on 0.26 acres and does not meet the standards for an essential building as set by the modern emergency facility design. The existing station was originally constructed in the mid- 1950's and although it was remodeled three additional times, the remodels did not consider future gender requirements, paramedic service, and high -rise residential structures at the time of its original construction or the remodels.

Over the past several months, the City has received over 100 contacts and several questions have been asked that were not answered in the formal presentations. A question and answer section is attached, as well as a summary of public comments received.

The existing station was originally constructed in the mid- 1950's and although it was remodeled three additional times, the remodels did not consider future gender requirements, paramedic service, and high -rise residential structures at the time of its original construction or the remodels. (see attached City Hall Fire Station Rebuild: Location & Space Need Considerations memo) Subject: Selection of Site Plan for Schematic Design of City Hall, Fire Station, and Parking Structure May 10, 2005 Page: 6 The replacement fire station design would be based upon the current county standards as adopted by the Orange County Fire Authority and would meet all current standards for an essential facility. The footprint of such a design requires 0.84 acres and requires a lot line adjustment with the adjacent property owner in order to keep the facility in its current location next to City Hall. The preliminary estimate to construct an appropriate facility is $3.875 million. Since no design work has been performed as of this date, this cost would be subject to change and is merely a rough "guesstimate" of potential costs. The total estimated cost of the recommended Option 3, including replacement of the Council Chambers, a 350 -stall parking structure, relocation costs, and anticipated indirect costs, is $41,516,000. Please see the attached Conceptual Program Budget Option for a breakdown of the costs for each of the options listed above. POTENTIAL LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT: The City Council, at its February 8, 2005 meeting directed staff to pursue lot line adjustment scenarios with the adjacent owner. The adjacent property is the Via Lido Plaza and is owned by Lido Partners, Inc. Both adjacent properties are irregularly shaped and have inefficient allocation of available space for their current uses. The execution of a lot line adjustment would provide a more regular shape for a more efficient layout of the City Hall campus providing adequate space for a modem fire station, parking structure, and a new City Hall while preserving the existing green space along Newport Boulevard. All of the three remodel /replacement options require the lot line adjustment to occur in order to proceed with a project. The potential adjustment proposes a one for one exchange of approximately 0.33 acres, so that each property owner has no loss or gain of value; thus eliminating the need of compensation for either property. The attached Memorandum of Understanding has been prepared to provide for the land exchange in the event that City Council chooses to proceed with a replacement project. Both parties, the City and Lido Partners, will execute the lot line adjustment documents and record the results with the Orange County Recorder upon City Council's final approval of a project, which could occur this fall. If the City Council decides not to proceed with a City Hall replacement project, the documents will not be executed and the existing property line will remain in its current configuration. Also included in the MOU, is the mutual agreement to allow Lido Partners to construct a new driveway on Via Oporto to accommodate for the loss of the current delivery entry adjacent to the existing fire station. CONCLUSION: If Council approves the recommended actions, Griffin Structures and its team will proceed with the schematic design of the recommended option in accordance with the previously approved PSA with Griffin (see attached Council action dated February 8, 2005). At the conclusion of Griffin's Scope of Work, a schematic design will be presented to Council (Fall of 2005) for a decision on whether or not to proceed with a City Hall project. Subject: Selection of Site Plan for Schematic Design of City Hall, Fire Station, and Parking Structure May 10, 2005 Page: 7 Environmental Review: This activity is not a project as defined in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Implementing Guidelines. However, an environmental review and appropriate documentation will be required upon establishment of a viable project concept. Funding Availability: On June 10, 2003 Council appropriated and authorized expenditure of the funds necessary to complete this phase of the project. Submitted by: W-Opy"' _4+�/ 'Homer L.

Receive and file report titled, "Comparisons of Continued Occupancy of Existing City Hall vs. Effective Costs of Occupancy in a Replacement City Hall." 2. Direct staff regarding any information or investigations that Council would like for staff to undertake regarding a possible site for City Hall off the Balboa Peninsula. If nothing further is desired on site selection, make that determination. 3. Approve a Professional Services Agreement with Griffin Holdings Incorporated, for the not to exceed price of $578,185 and authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute the Agreement. 4. Approve a Budget Amendment appropriating $253,185 from the balance of the General Fund Reserve for Capital Improvement to Account No. 7011- 02910545. 5. Authorize staff to engage in discussions with Fritz Duda, owner of the adjacent Via Lido Plaza center, regarding a lot -line adjustment. 6. Direct staff to schedule a series of community workshops regarding the planning and design of the project. DISCUSSION: In July 2001, Council directed staff to pursue a long -term strategic plan in the form of a City Hall Facilities Master Plan that would map our facility requirements in order to better serve the public. At the January 8, 2001 City Council meeting, Griffin Holdings Subject: City Hall Facilities Schematic Design — Approval of Professional Services Agreement with Griffin Structures, Inc. June 10, 2003 Page: 2 (Griffin) was hired to develop a City Hall Facility Needs Assessment as Phase I of the City Hall Facilities Master Plan process. At the April 8, 2003, Council Study Session, Council viewed a PowerPoint presentation regarding the results of the City Hall Facility Needs Assessment. In general, the report stated the current City Hall campus is seriously deficient in serving the current and future needs of the City. The existing buildings range from 23 to over 60 years of age and have exceeded their useful life. The recommendation of the study incorporates a long -term, integrated approach, addressing current and long -term workspace needs with respect to staffing, facilities access, mobility, storage, parking, and customer service. Current deficiencies in the following areas were investigated and documented in the study: • Customer Service interface — Poor circulation and lack of a central lobby or entry point is confusing to the public. For example; Public counter is disjointed with key functions such as the Cashier and Building permit issuance separated in different buildings. • Employee Workspace — Many employees share workspace or have workspace in areas that were once conference rooms or even hallways. There is no room for expansion to accommodate future public needs. • Records Storage — Some records are currently stored offsite. With the inflow of Newport Coast plans and potential future annexations, we are using storage container bins within the City Hall parking lot. • Meeting Rooms - Existing spaces are cramped and some have been converted to office space. • Seismic building code compliance — None of the City Hall buildings, including the Fire Station, would survive a major seismic event without significant structural damage. • ADA compliance — There are widespread problems requiring costly improvements. • Parking — Many employees currently park off site. Customer parking is very difficult at various times of the day. As a result of the April 8, 2003, Study Session, the Council had three areas of concern and directed staff to report on these items: • Will there be operational savings expected from new facilities? • Will there be significant improvement in productivity expected from new facilities? • Would the parking structure generate income? In a response to these questions, Griffin authored a White Paper addressing these areas of concern. The report is included as an attachment to this memo and staff recommends Council receive and file same. The report summarizes the current and existing conditions and shortcomings, which constrain efficiency and productivity levels. A discussion of current literature is included that supports the expected 15% improvement in productivity. In addition, a questionnaire was distributed throughout Subject: City Hall Facilities Schematic Design — Approval of Professional Services Agreement with Griffin Structures. Inc. June 10. 2003 Page: 3 City Hall and staff themselves expected an overall 14.7% improvement in productivity. These percentages are then computed to the dollar equivalent of a 15% improvement based on current compensation levels for City Hall staff. The result indicates a probable productivity benefit of more than $2 million annually. Although a productivity benefit does not translate directly into "cash in hand" savings, there will be offsets of future staff recruitments due to improved efficiencies. There are also gains to be had from reduced security, safety risks, and lost opportunity costs. Griffin also surveyed past utility costs and compared those costs to the typical utility costs modeled for the proposed City Hall. An energy savings of 17% is expected over the first five years of operation, with a savings of $3.75 million over the 40 -year building life. Griffin researched actual City Hall building maintenance costs over the past five years and deferred maintenance costs. When compared with BOMA Experience Reports (new facility long -term maintenance costs), the difference is $3.7 million extended over a 40 -year building life. Staff responded to Council's question on how much revenue could be expected from a parking structure. Local market rates for monthly parking were surveyed and staff has estimated the potential of the proposed parking structure at conservative annual net revenue of approximately $210,000 per year. This net revenue is based on the data within the following table: Parking Revenue Existing Parking Meters $ 0.50 per hour Lido Marina Village Structure Current Charges $ 70.00 per month 100 "overage" spaces available in proposed structure 50 spaces on monthly basis $ 3,500.00 per month 50 spaces on hourly basis 7am -9pm @ 50% occupancy $ 10,500.00 per month 225 spaces 6 -9pm M -F, 7am -9pm Sa /Sun @ 25% $ 10,481.25 per month Projected Monthly Income $ 24,481.25 Projected Gross Annual Income $293,775.00 Anticipated Expenses Parking Lot Attendant 14hr'365'17 salary + benefits $ 86,870.00 Net Annual Revenue $206,905.00 Please note: There are 24 surface parking spaces proposed in addition to the 325 spaces in the parking structure. It is assumed the 24 surface parking spaces would be non - metered and free of charge. Subject: City Hall Facilities Schematic Design — Approval of Professional Services Agreement with Griffin Structures, Inc. June 10, 2003 Page: 4 Per City Manager direction, staff also collected visitor data for a period of two weeks at each of the public counters. Actual visitor counts indicate there is an average of 500 persons per day who visit our public counters. Although some of these visits may include multiple public counters within City Hall, it is indicative that many people each and every day are visiting our offices for service. Griffin recommends a reasonably sized City Hall that would accommodate current and future needs, estimated at 62,000 square feet (current size is approx. 44,000 sq. ft.). Griffin's recommended solution is to construct an entirely new facility including the replacement of Fire Station #2 and the construction of a 350 space parking structure. The estimated cost of such a project is estimated at 28 million dollars. Taking advantage of the current interest rates, the City could finance the project over 30 years at an annual cost of approximately two million dollars. The annual costs could be offset by the savings in capital maintenance and improvement costs, operational efficiencies due to centralization of employees and records, and potential parking revenues from adjacent uses, which badly need additional parking. The next step, or Phase Il, in the Master Plan process is to establish schematic plans providing a detailed concept of the proposed City Hall replacement project. This project phase would provide enough information in the areas of space allocation and cost, so a decision could be made to proceed or not to proceed with Phase III, which is the preparation of construction plans and specifications and ultimately the construction of a new City Hall, Fire Station, and parking structure. Griffin has submitted a proposal for Phase II of this project. The scope of the services to be provided by Griffin for this project are summarized as follows: ■ Architect and Program Management — Griffin will sub - contract and administer all contracts required to plan and design the facility, prepare the schematic design drawings, and develop a budget estimate with defined scope of work and preliminary schedule ■ Budget — development of cost estimates for all components of the work ■ Constructability Review — technical management of project design, performance of architectural and engineering design, suggest refinements to improve future sequencing of work, and participate in value engineering exercise ■ Schedule — Griffin will prepare a critical path management schedule for approval by City, provide monthly status reports, periodic presentations to City Council, and coordinate meetings with other groups and organizations as directed by the City A detailed scope of services is included in the attached Professional Services Agreement. Subject: City Hall Facilities Schematic Design — Approval of Professional Services Agreement with Griffin Structures, Inc. June 10, 2003 Page: 5 In addition, preliminary review of the site plan alternatives indicates a lot -line adjustment with the adjacent property owner would be beneficial for both parties. Staff is requesting approval from Council to engage the adjacent property owner in discussions regarding the 'land swap" and then bring the issue back to Council for decision at a future meeting. Environmental Review: This activity is not a project as defined in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Implementing Guidelines. However, an environmental review and appropriate documentation will be required upon establishment of a viable project concept. Public Notice: The scope of services identified in this Professional Services Agreement provides for a series of community and Council workshops to solicit input regarding the planning and design of the project. Funding Availability: There is $325,000 appropriated in the current budget for City Hall expansion planning. To accommodate the next phase of the process, staff recommends approval of a Budget Amendment to appropriate $253,185 from the balance of the General Fund Reserve for Capital Improvement to Account No. 7011- C2910545. Upon approval of this budget amendment, there will be sufficient funds available in the following account for the schematic design work: Account Description City Hall Expansion Plan Prepared by: Lois Thompson Administrative Manager Account Number Amount 7011- C2910545 $578,185 Attachments: White Paper Professional Services Agreement Budget Amendment Submitted by: � yuaa _aN r Stephen G.

Reaffirm approval to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Griffin Structures Incorporated, for the not to exceed price of $578,185. 2. Direct staff to conduct a 30-day review regarding the viability of a lot line adjustment with the owner of the adjacent Via Lido Plaza center, and if such efforts are inconclusive, then proceed with Schematic Design within the boundaries of the existing city -owned site. 3. Direct staff to schedule a series of community workshops regarding the planning and design of the project to obtain public input. 4. Reaffirm the current site as the future site for a new City Hall. DISCUSSION: On June 10, 2003, Council approved a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Griffin Stuct6res Incorporated (Griffin) at a cost not to exceed $578,185 for project administration and management; and A/E design services through the completion of schematic design (see attached report dated 6/10/03). In addition to the approval of the PSA, staff was directed to: engage in discussions with the adjacent property owner of Via Lido Plaza Center regarding a potential lot line adjustment. Preliminary review of the site plan alternatives indicated that a lot -line adjustment with the adjacent property owner would be beneficial for both parties. Staff was also directed to schedule a series of community workshops to receive input regarding planning and design of the project. Also at that meeting, Mr. Roger Torriero of Griffin presented a report titled, "Comparisons of Continued Occupancy of Existing City Hall vs. Effective Cost of Occupancy in a Replacement City Hall" which discussed the advantages of constructing a new facility versus remodeling and expanding the existing City Hall. After some Subject: City Hall Facilities Schematic Design — Approval of Professional Services Agreement with Griffin Structures, Inc. February B. 2005 Page: 2 discussion, the Council majority (6 -1) passed a motion receiving and filing the report and determined that no further investigation of a possible site for City Hall off the current Balboa Peninsula campus was necessary (see attached City Council Minutes and agenda report dated 6110/03). Shortly after that meeting, the Building Committee met to discuss the City Hall project and it was decided to put the contract with Griffin on hold due to potential conflict of interest concerns. Since that time, Griffin has resolved the potential conflicts to the satisfaction of the City Manager and City Attorney. On January 19, 2005, the Building Committee met to discuss reinitiating the City Hall Schematic Design contract. At that meeting, the Committee reaffirmed the previous Council actions. Additionally, the committee recommended that the lot line adjustment discussions with the adjacent property owner be limited to thirty days to prevent extended delays to the project. Environmental Review: This activity is not a project as defined in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Implementing Guidelines. However, an environmental review and appropriate documentation will be required upon establishment of a viable project concept. Public Notice: The scope of services identified in this Professional Services Agreement provides for a series of community and Council workshops to solicit input regarding the planning and design of the project.

RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file. DISCUSSION: On February 8, 2005, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Griffin Structures, Incorporated (Griffin) for project administration and management; and Architectural and Engineering (A/E) design services to work on a replacement or remodel of City Hall, the replacement of the City Hall Fire Station, and the addition of a multi -story parking lot. At that time, the City Council directed staff to schedule a series of community workshops to receive public input regarding the planning and design of the project. Three community meetings were then scheduled to solicit input from the public: 1. Saturday, March 5th — Visual Assessment 2. Saturday, March 19th — Present Findings and Alternatives 3. Saturday, April 2 "d —Conclusions and Recommendations Due to a low turnout at the March 5th public workshop, the March 19th session was cancelled and rescheduled for April 2 "d. We also set a third meeting for April 23`d to allow more time for public outreach efforts. Then, we added a fourth workshop (in the evening) — now set for Monday, April 25th at 6:30 p.m. Public Outreach for the City Hall. Fire Station, and Parking Lot Project Apnl 12, 2005 Page 2 We have made the following public outreach efforts for these workshops: 1) Letter from City Manager Homer Bludau mailed citywide March 28, 2005 to 29,078 residents and businesses listed on city utility bill accounts.

BluOaiu, City Manager Prepared by: Marilee Jackson, Public nformation Ofcr Prepared by: J ca Ete; YO, Ad ini trative Manager CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER Homer L. Btudau, City Manager March 28, 2005 Dear Resident, I wanted to let you know about some important issues that the City Council is currently discussing. These are: 1. Fire Station - Parking Lot -City Hall Project. The City Council recently approved an agreement with Griffin Structures Inc. to seek your input about whether to fully replace or simply renovate City Hall on the Balboa Peninsula. Well also look at replacing the Lido Fire Station and adding a parking structure. We have scheduled three more opportunities for you to let us know what you think. The three remaining meetings are set for: Saturday, April 2nd at 10:00 B.M. Saturday, April 23`d at 10:00 a.m. Monday, April 25th at 6:30 p.m. All meetings will be held at the City Council Chambers 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach The Council is moving forward with this civic center project after completing a detailed Space Needs Assessment. This Assessment, done in August 2002, showed the current City Hall needs another 17,000 square feet of room to meet existing service needs, including public spaces like the permit desks and cashiers. The Assessment concluded that a City Hail of around 62,000 sf would accommodate the public services and personnel to serve you for the next 40 -50 years. The study also noted extremely limited public parking, space inefficiencies, seismic structural deficiencies (especially at the Lido Fire Station) and the existing buildings' lack of compliance with building codes. A new complex at the same Peninsula location that would include a parking structure and a replacement fire station is under consideration. Please consider commenting on these concepts and any others that you might want to suggest. The City Council is expected to hear a presentation from Griffin Structures Inc. on the results of the public outreach meetings and the site layout concepts at its regular meeting on May 10th.

Issues about the Land Surrounding Newport Beach — our "Sphere" Issues. Your City Council has had a "Sphere Issues Committee" since December, Z003. The Committee's goal has been to work with County government to look at places where both levels of government — City and County — might benefit from change. As such, we've met with members of the Orange County Board of Supervisors several times over the past year. The issues being discussed are: a. 777e Santa Ana Heights Redevelopment Agency ( SAHRA) — The City and County have discussed the concept that, in light of the recent annexation of East Santa Ana Heights and the proposed annexation of West Santa Ana Heights, the City may be in a better position to administer the SAHRA and Redevelopment Plan. The City has already taken the lead in buying land for a fire station in Santa Ana Heights (and in designing the station). We are also working on the design of a redevelopment - funded community center (open to all) at the University Avenue YMCA and managing a special Utility Undergrounding Project on the County's behalf in Santa Ana Heights. b. Coyote Canyon Landfill— The Coyote Canyon landfill (off Newport Coast Drive, north of San Joaquin Hills Road and Newport Ridge Park) was operated by the County from 1963 to 1990 on land leased from The Irvine Company. The County would like the City to assume some of the County's responsibilities in monitoring the now - closed facility. We are completing our "due diligence" in this regard, since we see some benefits to a public re -use of the landfill space, provided that we fully understand and know the technical issues associated with assuming new responsibilities there. c. Upper Newport Bay— The City and County have discussed ways that we could assist the County in improving habitat and managing recreational opportunities at the Upper Bay. As you do, we see the Upper Bay as a wonderful (but under - funded) environmental resource for our community and the region. d. John Wayne Airport — The City and County have discussed the concept of a Joint Powers Agreement (IPA) that would require both' the City and County to consent to changes in land use plans and policies in and around the Santa Ana Heights area. We also seek a provision in the JPA that would require the consent of both the City and the County to expand the physical size of JWA. We are in the preliminary stages of evaluating relevant land use plans and policies, as well as the most appropriate legal vehicle for implementing any agreement. You will be hearing much more on these issues in the near future. In addition, I will be providing you with additional status reports. Please do not hesitate to call or e-mail me (hbludau city.newport- beach.ca.us or 949 - 644 -3000) if you have questions, thoughts, or concerns. Sincerely, Homer L.

April 25, 2005 at 6:30 p.m. For information call Public Works Department 949 -644 -3311 Public Comments and Input Over the past several months, the City has received over 100 emails and letters providing input, opinion, and suggestions regarding the project. 80% of the contacts were in favor of the project 81 % of those supporting the project would keep the site 19% of those supporting would prefer a remodel to replacement The most popular relocation site was the Newport Center area The following is a collection of excerpts from the public input we received "The City deserves a City Hall which has the quality of our Main Library, a building that was hotly debated and criticized for the "expense and waste" of taxpayers' money. Yet today, all of our residents are proud of the library, it receives extensive public use and there have been no complaints since it opened that the decisions were incorrect or too lavish." Carol Hoffman, May 2, 2005 "I must confess that, more often than I'd like to recall, visitors (especially from the Midwest and East Coast and certainly Europe) have asked "Where is your City Hall ?" When shown they have either laughed or expressed astonishment that a spot so wonderful as Newport doesn't have a Civic Center that's also wonderful." Thomas E. Rubbert, May 1, 2005 "Unless you plan to build another bridge, widen the highway and create better parking, I would suggest that you down size your plans and move all or most of your operations away from this bottleneck area." Bill Eckess, April 28, 2005 .. at this times with all of us being taxed beyond our means, my husband and I do not think it is prudent to provide you and the other council members a new office building.. in fact, I think that any member who cannot understand this should be recalled." Dorothy McDonald, April 28, 2005 "The proposed City Hall is not needed. The reason seems to be because the present facility is too crowded. We need to outsource more work instead of city employees which are more expensive and will require pension plans." Joseph W. DeCarlo, April 28, 2005 "The City and its residents deserve a new city hall!" Richard Dick, April 25, 2005 "Build new and build to current standards. Don't throw good money at buildings that should be torn down. Move confidently into the future." Cal McLaughlin, April 25, 2005 "My primary concern is that this project be a fiscally prudent one, allocating space and funds according to the real needs of each department and not based on "wants and desires" or political deals. I will vigorously fight against any appearance of monument building." Jim Stratton, April 25, 2005 "Tear it down!" Kevin Murphy, April 21, 2005 "Now that the Marina Park - Sutherland development has been voted down. Any thoughts given to relocating City Hall there ?" Kirk Elliott, April 21, 2005 "I think functionality is important for a civic structure. Reputation is not. As we face potentially higher costs for our city with our state unable to pay its bills, I do not think it is fiscally responsible to take on a huge debt to finance an art project city hall." Karen Hinton, April 21, 2005 "The city should follow the LEED TI or EB programs for remodel or LEED NC for new construction." Jeff Stevens, April 20, 2005 "I'm truly surprised by the apparent resistance to a new city hall, which is so sorely and obviously needed. We were in Redding recently, and it is hard to understand how such a relatively small inland city with a hard -to- identify economic and employment base can justify a deluxe city hall while Newport Beach struggles on with such a substandard facility." Stan Cohen, April 17, 2005 "Let's do it right. We need to take a long view. Whatever the cost, it will ultimately be returned to the property owners. When one area of a community is upgrades, the additional value is reflected throughout." Gale Edelberg and Bob Butnik, April 16, 2005 "No, no, no. Absolutely no to a new City Hall. You and the County Supervisors are spending us into bankruptcy again!" Jacqueline Guy, April 14, 2005 "The present city hall ought to work just fine! Certainly, with all the great minds, it can be made to work! We are not for spending any tax money for fancy government buildings... or for more government!" Jim and Georgia Mahoney, April 13, 2005 "TEAR DOWN & REBUILD. We need today's much improved standards. I won't miss the food smells in the City Hall lobby!" Nancy Christensen, April 11, 2005 "I very strongly support a new city hall that will take care of the needs of Newport Beach for the next 50 years. I feel we owe this to future generations and future residents." Dave Fish, April 11, 2005 "Several years ago, when the City of Beverly Hills faced this same dilemma, they chose to remodel (using a world -class architectural firm), but they had an existing City Hall which was, and still is, a landmark. That is simply not the case in Newport Beach." Linda Lansford Schumann, April 7, 2005 "Since money doesn't grow on trees even in Newport Beach, a more cost - effective, less costly solution needs to be found... No one except some City officials really cares whether or not City Hall is a "taj mahal." An architecturally notable City Hall edifice adds nothing to the City's appeal, unlike the Library or the beach or Fashion Island or whatever." Linda and Peter Oeth, April 7, 2005 "Newport Beach's rundown, outdated, patchwork, eyesore, shack of a City Hall is an absolute disgrace for a world -class city, such as ours! It has been overdue for a major replacement for decades!" Wendy Brooks, April 6, 2005 "Look at Balboa Island's fire station. Something charming that adds character would improve the aging Peninsula's architecture." The Rados Family, April 6, 2005 "Get rid of a big part of staff that don't do a good job, you are overpaying a lot of people." Curtis Herberts, April 6, 2005 "I vote for a remodel. The atmosphere at City Hall has always been so nice, I would hate to see it lost." Pete Perrin, April 5, 2005 "The location SHOULD remain as is. Don't move it to Fashion Island or some other suggested locations. It is presently located in what has always been Newport Beach. Keep it there." Don Thomas, April 5, 2005 "Parking is such an extreme problem on the peninsula and having the opportunity to park a visitor to our home at City Hall on the weekends is of extreme value. Please don't do ANYTHING to diminish the FREE parking on weekends." Suzanne Rhino, April 5, 2005 "City Hall and nearby businesses were impacted when the City removed the several parking spaces that were once available on Newport Blvd. in front of City Hall and replacing these spaces and more would be a benefit to the community." Russell Singer, April 5, 2005 "I believe the city hall should be a crown jewel representing our wonderful city and should improve efficiency of staff as well as the constituents it serves. It does not fulfill this need in its current condition. It served us well for many years but became a burden many years ago. Please build a new city hall... and we will come." Richard Mayer, April 4, 2005 "Renovate yes, but a new City Hall, no. Bring the current site up to code." Werner and Diane Escher, April 4, 2005 "I am in favor of the proposed Civic Center that would fully replace the current facility. I also want to encourage you to include cultural aspects such as exhibits from the Nautical Museum or facility to hold concerts and plays." Ronald S. Rubino, April 4, 2005 "Thank you for allowing me to have an input on the Fire Station — Parking Lot — City hall Project. 1 would like to see the project fit within our means and also keep our small community atmosphere here at the beach." Mary G. Cirello, April 4, 2005 "The sentimental value of historic structures is something that we also understand, but in this case, with all due respect, the current facilities have not attained that stature... we feel that a remodel will be just another band aid, and a waste of valuable resources." Betsey and Brian Dougherty, FAIA, April 3, 2005 "I have been in the city hall many times and there is more than sufficient space for the intended purpose. The fire station is also adequate. The replacement of this structure and addition of an expensive parking garage I find excessive and unnecessary." Scott Williams, April 3, 2005 "I would prefer to renovate City Hall and put money toward repairing the roads." Lillian Kamph, April 3, 2005 "I do not feel that we should expect or cause the employees of the City to work in conditions that we would not want imposed on us... I feel that we must rely on you, your staff, and the consultants to make the best decision..." Gary and Bonnie Quiggle, April 2, 2005 "When comparing NB to that of Irvine and Huntington Beach, our city hall is a disgrace. With all of our multi - million dollar homes, prestigious businesses and the expansion of Newport Coast, we certainly should be able to afford a municipal building more in keeping with the stature and quality of our city." Jack and Shirley McManus, April 2, 2005 "The area that is the current city hall I think would be best served to become a LARGE parking structure for tourists that want to go to the beach etc. with a shuttle - trolley service that would make several stops at beach areas — the two piers, the new Marina park, and places in- between." Bonnie McClellan, April 2, 2005 "For too long this city has been ruled by brain dead people with their perspective stuck in reverse who only know how to say no. It's time to pull the plug on them and move ahead." William C. Thomas, April 1, 2005 "Stop the progress on the land at the comer of Pacific Coast Highway and Jamboree Road while consideration to this site could be looked into... Newport Beach does not need or require more parks." Harrell F. Kloke, April 1, 2005 "Please preserve plenty of grass around any new city hall /parking structure." Bob Yant, April 1, 2005 "The Balboa Peninsula has a special character the harmony of which would be destroyed by a parking structure or the proposed modifications to the present City Hall. It would "urbanize" a delightful, open, "airy" feeling that exists now." Roger M. Farel, M.D., April 1, 2005 "I have been to city hall a number of times in the past year, mainly to visit the building department. I am amazed with the poor working conditions, and that those poor women at the counter can find anything amid the chaos." Art Lombardi, April 1, 2005 "I like the existing building. I wouldn't even go so far as to remodel it. But if the choice is to remodel or replace, then my vote is for remodel!" Fred Messerer, April 1, 2005 "Let's incorporate the outstanding architecture of our forefathers in the front view and go from there... forget high ceilings, glass, stainless steel... fancy wood, keep it basic as a City building should be!" Gay and Bill Kelly, April 1, 2005 "Very simple solution, move city hall facility off peninsula up Superior Ave to Newport Technology Center, NTC is a "campus" office project that needs tenants, ... Current CH location is prime real estate, re- develop to create more entertainment retail and open space, adds visitors and tax revenue to city." John S. Wadsworth, March 30, 2005 "I believe we need to raze the current structure and replace it with a more modern, state of the art building. We are a world class city, yet we conduct business in a third world atmosphere." John Rapillo, March 28, 2005 "I think we need a new city hall which is modern, efficient, and appropriate for a city the size and stature of Newport Beach. When you amortize the cost over 30 years it is not a big financial deal." Ken and Marita Wittman, March 22, 2005 "I have been in some of the offices and can't believe what staff has to endure. Without question the current facility is outdated and too small. The current location is very good, it is a gateway location and the new building should recognize that position." Hector Godinez, March 7, 2005 MEMORANDUM Newport Beach Fire Department Office of the Fire Chief Date: May 2, 2005 To: City Manager Homer Bludau From: Fire Chief Tim Riley Subject: City Hall Fire Station Rebuild: Location & Space Need Considerations While much discussion has taken place regarding the space needs of City Hall and the parking needs driving the parking structure design, little has been shared regarding the design considerations for the replacement of the City Hall Fire Station. This memo intends to provide you with my thoughts concerning the location and space needs of a modern fire station. Fire Station 2005 versus Fire Station 1952 The existing fire station located at 475 32 "d Street was built in 1952; a second story added in 1966; a major modification took place in 1971 when Fire Administration moved across the alley to Building D; and a final addition was constructed over the apparatus floor in 1994 to accommodate our fitness program. Much has changed in Newport Beach since 1952. When this station was built, it was designed to accommodate one three - person fire engine company and the entire Department's administrative staff of four persons. There were no residential high -rise buildings in Newport Beach like those located not far from here at 601 & 611 Lido Park Drive. This station pre -dated the concept of paramedics by twenty years, along with its accompanying medical supplies storage and disinfectant room requirements. We didn't envision the need to accommodate the storage of hazardous materials, personal protective clothing and self - contained breathing apparatus for every person, and specialized equipment for terrorism- related responses. The need for every person to have access to a computer terminal didn't happen until the early 1990's, and we never anticipated the need to accommodate firefighters of both genders. Today's service demands drive the need for a modern fire station to meet our service delivery needs. The City Hall Fire Station currently houses a three - person engine company, a three - person truck company and a two- person paramedic unit. These units responded to 4,717 of the 16,327 unit responses the department had in 2004. In addition to responding to alarms, our personnel each receive approximately 240 hours of training per year. They conduct approximately 30 fire prevention inspections per unit per month. They also attend many public education and public service events in their first -in area. We recognize the citizens of Newport Beach expect a high -level of service; we strive hard not to disappoint but rather exceed these expectations. Fire Station Design Guidelines Due to the unique service delivery needs of communities all across America, there are no national standards for the design and development of a fire station. In lieu of such standards, we are fortunate to have received a copy of the Orange County Fire Authority's Fire Station Development Guide. It just so happens that this document was developed for the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) by LPA, the architectural firm providing guidance on our City Hall design project. In addition to the Fire Department, the Directors of the Building Department and the Public Works Department have reviewed this document and agree that it is a valuable resource for our fire station design guidance. We are also using our recent experience with RRM Design Group; the architectural firm working on the Santa Ana Heights Fire Station, as additional guidance for our City Hall design development discussions with LPA. The development of a fire station brings with it certain site acquisition issues. In my professional opinion, a good site needs to meet the following requirements: 1. A location that allows the station to cover the largest area of the City possible within our 7- minute response time goal, yet is in reasonable proximity to the area where the frequency of response is the highest; 2. An appropriately -sized lot between 1 and 1.6 acres; 3. Minimum street frontage for access and egress of emergency vehicles; and 4. A location that is compatible with surrounding uses. This list of needs is not easy to satisfy in a nearly built -out community like Newport Beach. The current City Hall site does satisfy the first and fourth criteria listed above and falls far short in satisfying criteria two and three. According to the OCFA Design Guidelines and RRM, a station sized to accommodate an engine, truck and paramedic company should start with a 1.4 acre site with a minimum of 180 lineal feet of street frontage. This provides for the development of 12,134 square foot, single -story fire station, necessary circulation to allow fire apparatus to enter the apparatus room from the rear of the building and exit to the front, sufficient parking to accommodate the exchange of personnel during shift change, a suitable public parking area, and sufficient room to pull the apparatus out of the station during a seismic event. The current station sits on a mere 11,520 square feet or 0.26 acres. Its street frontage is 110 lineal feet; 130 if you include the alley to the west of the station. We currently need to stop traffic on 32 "d Street to back the engine or ladder truck into the apparatus room, and the paramedic unit responds out of the back of the station instead of directly onto 32nd Street, sharing the alley during emergency responses with Finley Street through traffic. We also have our firefighters park in City Hall parking spaces at shift change until their counter parts have left for the morning. In contrast, Replacement Option 3 (our preferred option) provides for a 12,500 square foot fire station on 36,485 square foot lot or 0.84 acres. The street frontage has been stretched to 142 feet. While this is far short of the recommended criteria, we recognize that site constraints and lack of a viable alternative site make this the best viable option at Us time. It does allow us exclusive access to the rear of the fire station with our apparatus, allowing us to pull - through the apparatus floor instead of backing in. The development of a fire station also brings with it certain building space requirements. A summary of the space planning completed as part of the recent Santa Ana Heights Fire Station will provide a good example of all that is needed in a modern fire station to accommodate two units with 8 personnel of mixed - gender: 3,002 sq ft Apparatus Room to accommodate a fire engine and a fire truck 120 sq ft Shop Alcove with Storage 178 sq ft Turnout Storage Room 24 sq ft Medical Supply Storage Closet 90 sq ft Decontamination/Janitorial Room 150 sq ft General Storage Room 389 sq ft 2- person Captain's Office 232 sq ft Kitchen 187 sq ft Dining Area 360sq ft Day Room 60 sq ft Janitor/Housekeeping for Station Interior 480 sq ft Workout Room 420 sq ft 8 Dorm Rooms 281 sq ft 3 Crew Restrooms 264 sq ft Locker Room 90 sq ft Electrical Room 80 sq ft Communication Room 1,923 sq ft 10% Allowance for Structure, 20% Allowance for Circulation 8,330 sq ft TOTAL We provided this information to LPA as guidance for their estimate of the new City Hall Fire Station. They took this guidance and applied it to a station designed to accommodate three companies and ten personnel, including additional space to for one additional office space, two additional dorms, six additional locker spaces, one additional crew restroom, expanded storage and expanded circulation due to the stairwells found in a two -story structure. This pushed their initial planning estimate to the 12,500 square feet displayed in all three replacement options. As you can see, the existing City Hall Fire Station and its 6,518 square feet barely equal half of the space needs of a modern fire station. The question of whether or not we could proceed with a new fire station and keep the existing City Hall buildings has been posed several times. In order to build the preferred option mentioned above, the available parking at the site would be compromised to the point where a parking structure would be necessary to meet parking requirements to run City business. In turn, the required parking structure could not be built without tearing down existing City Hall buildings. (see attached diagram) Conclusion I feel we have taken a major step forward in adopting some guidelines that actually meet the needs of our operation today and well into the future. We plan on using these same guidelines when evaluating the replacement needs of other fire stations that are nearing the end of their efficiency, such as Corona del Mar, Balboa Peninsula and Mariners. Like the City Hall Fire Station, we realize we will continue to battle the site constraint problem in a city that has very limited land remaining that is available for public facilities. However, in the case of the City Hall Fire Station and the Santa Ana Heights Fire Station, I feel we have the opportunity to build stations that will meet all of current needs and take us well into the future. . xawAv iaoa sx O W V1 Z a W V O V U 7 = OL V a = O Q W W p W C O a c� OW W a U O a Z V O Cl) a W v W O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O 3 O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O M O O) (n O) V O OD 1-- N O O O 00 fD F OD O 1-_ � m O) N O) O) 0 N M O) r E Z rc (O OD M O M N � V M n V In N In r o m to to tm o to tV o M W 7 � to f1- A � fA o� m o a 0 0 0 0 0 0 O o p O O O O O O o y O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O m O O O O O O O O � O O O O O O O OD O (n O) V 1� N N O O p (0 00 E O O 1-- OD O) 1- OD :li O) 0 OD O) If) Z 1� N N oD (C N 1� c V O) (n V W) N Q rc M Cl) N 7 1-- to fA fA fA fA fA N ad N to to to to to CO) 60 W 7 fA N N IL o U r <0 W d 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 o p 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Z a C O O C 0 O O C C O C O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O Q m M O (n N O) V w 1- M � N O O (0 O) Z; (L Oro_ to V N N O: V O) (LO - V W) O 60 60 60 O N fA fA Cl) Cl) � � N 7 fA N N o.

Question: Has the City explored space reduction options such as telecommuting, electronic storage, and contracting out? Answer: • Telecommuting could work for certain jobs, however, most of the City Hall positions interface with the public everyday. Many Newport Beach residents expect staff to be available to them in person, and we have pledged to accommodate that expectation. Additionally, the current City Hall is not fully wired for video - conferencing and other requirements of telecommuters. • Electronic storage is a current priority for the City. Most new business that is conducted at the City utilizes some form of electronic document and record storage. However, there are many thousands of existing records, maps, and plans dating back to the early 1900's that are in hard copy form. We attempt to scan these as we can and we allocate funding and time to converting historical documents. Over time, our need for document storage will be reduced. • Contracting out is something that the City already does. Many services are already contracted out including capital improvement project design, building maintenance; landscape maintenance, traffic signal maintenance, building permit plan check, janitorial and building maintenance services, and others. (See list of City services contracted out). Question: I have heard that Newport Beach has more city employees per capita than other cities. Are too many employees driving the need for this large city hall? How does our City compare to other Cities in terms of space needs and number of employees? Answer: Many people have tried to come up with meaningful ways to compare cities — you can use budgets, residents, employees, visitors, and many other measures. All are inadequate. Newport Beach (like Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach. Costa Mesa, and Anaheim) are "full service" cities — cities that have their own police and fire departments. Other "contract cities" (like Aliso Viejo, Laguna Hills, and Mission Viejo)_contract with the Orange County Sheriff and the Orange County Fire Authority for those services — as such, those employees (while paid by residents' tax dollars) don't show up on those cities' employee counts. But even comparisons of full - service cities are difficult — case in point: Newport and Anaheim: an "apple to apple" comparison at face value; right? Maybe not — Anaheim has an electrical utility, private sector trash; and they use the County's animal shelter. But Newport Beach has lifeguards, city- staffed trash (in about 80% of town), our own water and sewer service (Anaheim has that. too), and we are one of the few cities that use a private sector animal shelter. Comparing Newport Beach and Aliso Viejo is even harder. Aliso Viejo has OCFA's fire service and Moulton - Niguel Water District's water and sewer service. Many of its parks are funded and operated by the Aliso Viejo Community Association (AVCA), a master HOA to which everyone pays dues. So if we operated like Aliso Viejo does, residents would still pay for a significant number of local government employees (firefighters on the Fire Authority payroll, sheriff's deputies on the County payroll, water and sewer staff on MNWD's payroll) compensated by residents' taxes. They just won't show up on a city payroll. Residents there would pay even more for parks to the AVCA. All those employees not on the Aliso Viejo city payroll still have benefits, cars, training, work comp, headquarters, and all the other things that we in Newport place under one umbrella. Other things unique to Newport Beach are Newport Harbor, Upper Newport Bay, two piers, and over six miles of tourist -heavy beaches which increase the demand on City services (especially Police: Fire, Lifeguards, beach cleaning /maintenance, and Emergency Medical Services). To maintain the health of the Harbor, Upper Bay and the ocean (and our related economic health), the City has the county's largest (per capita) code and water quality enforcement program (one that received a nationwide award for its work in 2004). Our building activity needs to be factored in, too. According to a recent article in Forbes magazine, five zip codes in Newport Beach are within the top 20 nationwide in terms of median home price. That has corresponded with an explosion in the remodeling and expansion of existing homes. Last year, the City processed 11,628 building permits which exceeds all other cities countywide. Finally, the age of our infrastructure is important, too. Our City was incorporated in 1906 and the majority of growth occurred in the 1960's and 70's. We are continually maintaining, repairing, and replacing community assets to maintain quality infrastructure. In contrast, newer cities like Mission Viejo, incorporated 1987, or Rancho Santa Margarita, incorporated 1999, have not experienced the same maintenance, repair, or replacement demands. Today, even as a full - service city, Newport Beach does a lot of outsourcing — these include trash pick -up (about 18% of town), legal services, tree trimming, building plan check, median, park, & landscape maintenance, building maintenance & custodial (including beach restrooms), storm drain cleaning, investment management, municipal billing services, oil field management, crossing guards, the animal shelter, and alley sweeping. All of these factors drive the need for services and associated staffing. The amount of space required to deliver these essential services is documented in the "Space Needs Assessment Report" (available on line at the City's website). Question: Have any other sites been investigated for a new City Hall? Answer: Yes. Several other sites were discussed by the Building Committee including Newport Technology Center and Fashion Island. • Newport Technology center (NTC) — The NTC is over 400,000 square feet of facilities just west of Newport Boulevard between Industrial Way and Hospital Way. It is a 4- building campus with 1,336 parking spaces. When we examined this site at a cursory level, we saw similar problems to the problems we have at the existing City Hall complex. For example. fitting the Planning, Public Works, and Building functions together in a one -stop shop manner doesn't fit at the NTC — extensive remodeling would be required. We have seen that remodeling existing spaces is often more costly then building anew — remodeling the NTC will be $50-60 /square- foot and would be in addition to the purchase price. The NTC facility clearly has more space than we need. Yes, we could and should lease out the excess space, but the private sector has had a hard time leasing that space today — as noted by its vacancy. Currently, most R &D businesses are locating in larger complexes such as Irvine Spectrum. Parking is a consideration at the NTC, too — the NTC is parked at a 2.5 spaces per 1,000 square -feet. This is appropriate for the NTC's Research and Development zoning designation, but substandard for a City Hall Facility and additional tenants. We would then have to let space sit idle to meet the parking requirements or tear part of the building down to add more parking. Additionally, the City Council believes that City Hall should either be in a central location to many residents or in a location reflecting Newport Beach's historical core. The NTC site is not central, nor does it reflect the history of the current City Hall location. Indeed, it is adjacent to Costa Mesa. • Fashion Island /Newport Center — Many believe that this area has become the geographic center of town. In the 1970's, there was a plan to consolidate City Government functions to the Fashion Island area. The proposed 19.2 acre Civic Center Plaza would have included the Police Department, Fire Department, City Hall and a County Court. That effort never came to fruition and only the Police Station was eventually constructed at that location. Since that time most of the available vacant land at Newport Center has been developed. The cost to purchase existing properties and remodel or rebuild would be very high based upon current market values. Question: Can't we sell the current City Hall site and use that money to pay for the new facility? Answer: Sure. We could certainly sell off the current site and partially fund a new site. Remember that the sale and price of the current site would be contingent upon what development would be allowed at the current City Hall site. The current zoning is Government and Open Space. To get the highest and best -use pricing, the zoning would need to be changed to commercial, residential, or mixed use. That requires a General Plan Amendment, plus the rezoning and would very likely result in a considerable increase in density and intensity of use. As such, most re- zoning scenarios involve a Measure S vote — we have seen that Measure S votes tend to make sales of property less attractive to many would -be buyers. Secondly; there is still the problem of buying another site. We haven't seen vacant sites large enough to accommodate a new City Hall (the need is roughly 3 acres). Therefore, the City would have to buy a currently developed site, remodel it, or demolish it and construct anew. The price that the City would need to pay would be based upon the current use and entitlement. Since the Fashion Island area has some of the most desirable commercial property in Orange County, it is likely that the cost to purchase property would be very high. The timing and complexity of establishing new zoning (including a Greenlight vote) and selling the current site; and purchasing a new site (possibly by eminent domain) and building a new City Hall would be problematic as well. Another concern is that moving the city hall from its current location might cause the decline of the adjacent area. Many believe a new City Hall at the current location could serve as an economic engine and possibly encourage new private redevelopment. Question: What's going on with the adjacent properties? Is there a master plan? Wasn't there a meeting to develop a "Super Block "? Answer: Over the years, several potential developers have brought conceptual ideas to the City regarding the Lido Marina (LMV) and surrounding properties. Historically, two or three people a year request meetings with City staff to determine existing zoning, parking, and their options at the LMV location. We respond as we always do — with whatever information about the site that is public information. To date, none of these ideas or concepts has been pursued by the property owners or potential developers. The City held a meeting with the adjacent property owners to discuss the potential remodel or replacement of City Hall. It is standard City planning practice to solicit input via meetings and workshops from adjacent property owners, business owners, and residents. The purpose of the meeting was to explore the adjacent property owner plans, if any, to ensure compatibility with a potential City Hall project. The City does not desire to impose a master plan for redevelopment. However, if property owners come forward with ideas that may reduce City costs or improve the economic viability of the surrounding community, then the City feels it should explore these opportunities and determine if there is a public benefit. Other than working with the Douda Company on the proposed land swap, the City is not working or planning with any other property owner in the area on any redevelopment proposals. Question: Is Community Redevelopment Law an option for funding City Hall or for consolidating the parcels around Lido Marina Village and City Hall? Answer: Changes to redevelopment law in the mid- 1990's (AB 1290, Isenberg), made it much more difficult to declare that an area is "blighted" — the first step in any redevelopment action. We believe that few, if any. areas in Newport Beach, California, would ever qualify as being blighted. Secondly, redevelopment law specifically prohibits the use of tax increment revenue to construct city halls (California Health and Safety Code §33445[g][1 ]). Question: How will the City finance the proposed new City Hall, Fire Station and parking structure project? Would it increase property taxes? Answer: One possible financing option would be to use Certificates of Participation (COP's), previously used to finance the Central Library project ($7M +). COP's are similar to bonds sold for specific periods of time, with the City making annual lease payments in the amount of the annual principal and interest (debt service) payments on the COP's over a 20, 25, or 30 -year time period. COPs do not require a public vote, because the payments are made from ongoing City revenues. As such, there would not be a property tax or fee increase to finance the project. For example, if the City wanted to finance a $40M project with COP's, given current market rates, the annual lease payments to cover the principal and interest debt service would be approximately $2.8 million annually for 30 years. Question: What are the current costs of maintaining (including deferred maintenance expenses that may be required soon) the existing building? Can we consider these costs to be costs saved or avoided with a new building? Answer: An excerpt from the April 17, 2003 Utility Comparison prepared by LPA, states: "Based on reports of selected actual maintenance expenses and deferred estimated maintenance costs averaged over the past four years, we arrive at a current rate of maintenance expenditure of at least $4.00 /squ a refoot/ye a r. This may omit some historical costs. The BOMA experience reports give averages below $1.25 for "better' buildings. For the first eight years of a building, we would expect little to no costs for maintenance. Over the next thirty years, this expense, if unchecked, could result in an estimated cost of $2.5 million. Over the next forty years, this grows to $3.7 million (current dollars). Based upon the analysis received from the City of Newport Beach, and the modeling of the proposed buildings, the anticipated energy savings is approximately 17% over a five -year period from 2005 -2009, the anticipated energy savings would be in excess of $163,000. If projected over the next forty years, the total savings could be as much as $3,776,000." Question: How will the City assure the proper management of a COP offering of this size? Wouldn't it be the biggest amount of debt that the City has ever incurred? Answer: Yes, it would be the largest amount of debt that we have incurred. The City has previously issued $17,100,000 worth of debt for its water facilities and $7,500,000 for the Newport Beach Central Library. The remaining lease obligations on that debt (both principal and interest) are $8,237,375 and $8,316,679 respectively. The City's outstanding debt level is extremely low when compared with other jurisdictions, so we believe that a COP issuance of this magnitude is well within our means. For City staff to determine which financing vehicle to recommend to the City Council, the City Manager would form of a Financing Team composed of the City Manager, the Administrative Services Director, other City staff, and the following persons from the private sector: Bond and Disclosure Counsel, an Underwriter, and a Financial Advisor. The City Council may want to appoint a member of the Council to the Financing Team. The City Manager and Administrative Services Director believe a financing strategy could be developed to accomplish the construction of whatever project alternative the Council chooses. The goal would be to structure the financing in such a way that ongoing City operations will not be impacted. Part of the City's responsibility is to balance the use of available funds between ongoing operations, such as Police and Fire services, and proper management of the City's long -term infrastructure assets. Whenever long -term assets require renovation or replacement, it is conventional practice to finance the cost of such projects over a number of years. Therefore financing plans are seriously analyzed whenever the City is considering a major project like this. But there is one foregone conclusion before the analysis even begins that the period of time over which we would structure any potential financing would be shorter than the projected life span of the finished project. We estimate that the new City Hall project should have a lifetime of 50 -60 years. Question: You've just told us that this project will be the largest issuance of debt by the City ever. Why shouldn't this be put to a public vote "? Answer: It could be put to an advisory vote. But in California's system of city management. the City Council (the voters' elected representatives) and the City Manager (the person whom the Council hires to professionally manage the city) are charged with making decisions like building new city halls. Every year the City Council presides over the City's finances (in FY 2004 -05, the City's budget is $170 million, including a $40 million capital improvement budget. Budgets from years past have included important recent projects such as the replacement of the Arches Interchange (PCH and Newport Boulevard -- $15 million), the Groundwater Project (four wells in Fountain Valley and the piping that connects them to our water system -- $25 million), the Big Canyon Reservoir Cap and Circulation System -- $6 million, the widening of MacArthur Boulevard ($15 million), and construction or replacement of key City facilities such as the Central Library, Mariners Library, Santa Ana Heights Fire Station, and other major infrastructure projects. The budget also includes the management of millions in routine construction projects, like the $50 million Water Master Plan, the $53 million Sewer Master Plan, the $20 million Storm Drain Master Plan, and a $38 million Pavement Management Plan. The replacement/remodel of City Hall: a parking structure and a replacement Fire Station are yet another in a chain of important capital projects over a long history of important infrastructure decisions that our City Council has made over the years in accordance with the powers that are granted in the City Charter. "WEIVED At-TER AGENDA ED PPINT TE COMMUNITY COMMENTARY °`t i Hall plans lack openness By John Buttolph Much opposition to the proposed construction of a new city hall arises from a style of government by which the Newport Reach City Council and its city manager have advanced their agenda largely hidden from the public eye. Rewind back to the Feb. 8 council meeting as a $650,000 consulting contract — originally awarded two years ago but canceled because of the consultant's conflict of interest — is surprisingly reinstated over protests from one councilman with the sensible idea that rebidding was appropriate for a contract of such magnitude. If you blinked, you missed the grateful consultant's low -key announcement of three Public meetings, which the council "scheduled for the last half of April. Ten residents who didn't blink and actually showed up at the fast meeting were told they would not be permitted to address the need for or desirability of a new city hall. At this and later meetings no opportunity was provided for public statements in opposition to the project Public input was restricted to "review preliminary design concepts" for a new city hall, a new fire station and an adjacent multi-story parking structure. - The perception that Public notice requirements had been manipulated to minimize turnout netted a postponement of meeting No. 2, the addition of a fourth meeting to the agenda, and a large banner in front of City Hall defining the issue as "Replace or Remodel ?" Well folks, the public meeting part of the process has ended, . wherein we were treated to a slick presentation by our city manager and his highly paid consultant, leaving many of us with unanswered questions and a deep sense of frustration. Three responses come to mind. First, why were these public meetings conducted as if the decision to proceed at a cost of tens of millions of dollars had already been made, with the city merely going through the motions of public meetings to diffuse public opposition? Was that the best they could do, and was that all we residents of the city should expect? The council disregarded any effort at salesmanship and arrogantly preseruted the Project as a fait accompli. . Second, why no discernible attempt to present alternatives to the "scrape and build" approach? Why no public discussion of off -site relocation for high-usage services like the Building Department, thus relieving traffic, parking and space problems at our current City Hall? Why no public discussion of outsourcing, or reducing the number of city staff housed in City Hall? Why are we compelled to ' a new city hall, anew fire house and a new high -rise parking garage as one project instead of considering each separately on its own merits? And, if the city had already addressed these issues, why weren't their conclusions disclosed openly at these public meetings? Third, what are we giving up if the city is permitted to build this monument to big government instead of spending tens of millions on more pressing city improvements? Think what $40 million could do for our overcrowded and under- funded schools, for infrastructure maintenance, for acquisition and improvement of open space and parks, for more police protection and emergency services, and the list goes on and on. Let's compare the need for a new city hall relative to our city's desire to acquire John Wayne Airport to protect water quality, and to improve traffic circulation before we allow our council and city manager to incur a massive amount of debt for a new city hall. Remember, the recent city- sponsored Visioning Festival didn't even mention a new city hall. Residents rated road improvements, more open space and parks, water quality, and public safety as their Priority choices for spending our tax dollars. For the city to respond — without any meaningful public discussion — by giving its highest priority to a new city hall complex costing tens of millions of dollars is narrow minded and self serving. If the City Council insists on proceeding with this massive link outlay of public funds based on a decision- making process largely hidden from public scrutiny, let concerned residents e-mail their council members or attend Tuesday's City Council meeting and state whether they want to pay for it.
