Item #5 - "China House" Roof Tiles, 'etc.
China House
Roof Tiles,
Director Whitley explained that the Commission reviewed this
etc.
matter at their November 1, 1988 meeting and continued it
in order to gather more information. Staff contacted those
originally interested in saving the China House, the result
of which was that it has been difficult to get positive
input concerning disposal of the remnants.
Director Whitley stated he also discussed the matter with
other members of the community, and it was their feeling
that the only locations they would be interested in would be
near the China Cove area. Staff has investigated the
immediate vicinity and has not found an acceptable site
inasmuch as the Bluffs would have a negative view impact
and slopes are unstable.

Commissioner Herberts stated she discussed the matter with
the Chair of the Arts Commission who indicated they would
be interested in viewing the remnants and being involved.
Director Whitley advised the Arts Commission.was originally
contacted and'at, the time expressed no interest.
Commissioner Brenner suggested the City Council be notified
that this Commission can find no appropriate use for the
remnants, however, they may want to store them and /or make
a decision.
Commissioner Taft concurred with Commissioner Brenner that
the matter be passed to Council for their action stating
preferable use would be in the China Cove area, but that
this Commission can find no suitable site.

that it is recommenced'Council contact the Arts Commission
since they may be interested.
Item #6 - Acquisition of Union Station on Balboa Island
Acquisition
of Union
Director Whitley reviewed the .11 acre parcel on Balboa
Station on
Island which,has been used as a service station and is
Balboa
being considered for purchase as a mini park. He pointed
Island
out that the buried tanks on the site could be detrimental
to the soil resulting in an exorbitant amount of money to
develop it.
Commissioner Taft stated the Balboa Island Community
Association is meeting this evening and representatives
from Union Oil will be present. There have been many
petitions to keep the station which would be sorely missed.
If the station cannot be kept, the residents would want
something in its place which would be of benefit to them,
such as open space.
Chair Konwiser pointed out that gasoline seeping through the
tanks is the main problem. However, this is not necessarily
a rush decision since much testing and work would have to
be done and, as a result, the land may be sold at a differen
price.

City Council Chambers 7 .p.m. INDEX
Commissioner Taft stated that should conditions change and
the land be less expensive in the future, he would like an
option to purchase if the problems could be resolved.
Commissioner Taft stated he feels the open space needs
within the City should be addressed. He suggested there be
funds available and a policy formed that this Commission
agrees upon for certain areas in need of a mini park, site
to be determined.
Commissioner Herberts stated she felt this Commission
should be open to projects that come up unexpectedly, such
as the•need for a mini park on Balboa Island.
Director Whitley reported this Commission annually reviews
the Open Space and Recreation Element of =the General Plan,
however, small parcels are not included and are difficult
to anticipate.

Item #7 - Night Lighting ,at Bonita Creek Park
Night
Lighting'at
Director Whitley reviewed Bonita Creek Park and- passed out
Bonita Creek
a petition just received from homeowners objecting to the
Park
present lighting. He explained this is a major sports
facility completed six months ago. The builder informed all
buyers there would be a night lighted facility at the site.
The facility was also signed,that it would be night lighted
even before the planning stages. Additional lighting will
be installed on the youth soccer field located closest
to the new homes on University Avenue.
Mr. Whitley explained that the lights are turned off
between 10 :00 - 10:30 P.M. by staff immediately after an
athletic event. He stated the lights could possibly be
shielded, however, this would affect the engineering and
cut down on the lights as originally designed for an athletic
•
field.
Chair Konwiser opened the meeting to Public Testimony and
James Okuley, 4299 MacArthur Blvd, and attorney for Mr.
and Mrs. Buddy Cox, addressed the Commission.
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission
Page 4
City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX
Mr. Okuley reported he has been contacted by those living
in the Bay View Terrace and Santa Ana,Neights areas and
they feel there is a significant amount of light that
emanates from the park after 10:'00 P.M. Some have stated
the lights are on at 2:00 - 3:00 A.M. causing problems.
Mr. Okuley suggested a compromise of shielding the lights
and automatically shutting them off at 10:00 P.M. Mr.
Okuley also suggested more input be received from the
community before going forth with additional lighting.
Both Director Whitley and Chair Konwiser explained it
would be too expensive to stop the project at this time.
Referring to the complaint that the lights were on at
2:00 A.M., Chair Konwiser advised this was a mistake which
would be corrected. Director Whitley advised this may have
been during the "burn period" wherein the contractor was
testing on a one time basis for 48 hours.
•
Commissioner Grant suggested the lights follow the schedule
of the Newport Beach Golf-Course which is 10:00 P.M. on
weekdays and 11:00 P.M. on Friday and'Saturday nights.
Barbara Quist of Eastbluff addressed the Commission and
stated that when she drives east on Bristol and south on
Jamboree, the lights blind her. She feels this is a
safety problem and. suggested shields be implemented.
Patricia Cox, 2612 Mesa Drive, addressed the Commission.
She feels the lights should be shielded since they are too
bright. She also noted they are on all night at various
times. She stated it scares her that more lights will be
put in.
Director Whitley explained that the new lights will be on
the far side of the park and pointed downward.

on shields from the electrical engineer; plan the timer
to go off at 10:30 P.M.; and.rely on staff to turn off the
lights ahead of time if needed during the next month.
Unanimous.
Chair Konwiser reported this will be an action item at the
•
Commission's January 10, 1989 meeting, at which time a final
resolution can be made. Director Whitley will find out
when the lights are on at the golf course which affects the
same area.

Item #8 - Proposed Capital Projects, FY 1989 -90
Proposed
Capital
Director Whitley reported the recommendations proposed are
Projects,
those received from the community, Commission and staff and
FY 1989 -90
are not prioritized. He briefly reviewed each project and
pointed out that the Park Facility Improvement Fund and
Corona del Mar Pool Project•are committed. The cost for
the West Newport Community Center Refurbishment can be done
for $110,000 less by using subcontractors at a minimum
cost and not hiring an architect. Should Council agree,
a grant can be applied for to use State funds towards the
Oasis Human Services Building, thus reducing this cost.
Commissioner Grant requested staff write a cover sheet -
for each project including who requested it, date of
original request, safety and maintenance impacts and
description.
.
Director Whitley explained Public Works has their own form
which staff uses for such purposes. However, if desired,
the Capital Improvements Committee could implement a form
approved by this Commission to be used in the capital
improvement process.
Chair Konwiser reported he will meet with'Commissioner
Grant and propose a form•to be reviewed by Director
Whitley and the Superintendents.
Commissioner Grant suggested a Study on Big Canyon for
$10,000 for funding for a consultant to review the current
open space plan be added to the list.
Director Whitley will contact the Planning Department to
see if it is timely for an update on the Recreation and
Open Space Element which would then be funded from the
Planning Department's budget. Director Whitley also
advised the Commission might want to add Seminiuk Slough
to the list after this item is discussed.
Chair Konwiser reported the capital improvement list will be
prioritized,at the Commission's January 10, 1989 meeting.
In the meantime•, he and Commissioner Grant will implement
a form to be used in the capital improvement process.

Referring to the stadium court at 1123 -25 E. Balboa, he
stated the court is well located and there is no problem
except with the existing telephone poles which are used.
The City has been authorized to do testing on the poles
to see if there is a toxic problem. If there is no
problem, the committee recommends regulation poles be in-
stalled and the court placed on the approved list.

Chair Konwiser opened the meeting to Public Testimony and
Mr. Max Morgan, 3004 West Oceanfront, addressed the
Commission. He stated he was speaking on behalf of the
owners on the 3000 block who do not want a court in the
block area; that the court should be installed at the
street end. Reasons include that there is an existing
court at 30th Street; this is the narrowest beach area;
there are problems for the beach cleaners; and the bicycle
racks are gone.
Commissioner Taft explained to Mr. Morgan that the
Committee's recommendation included locating the court at
the street end which is in accordance with his request.
Chair Konwiser advised there has been a:tremendous upgrading
of the volleyball courts, thanks to Commissioner Taft and
his committee. Each court has been reviewed and the
program is better than it ever has been.
Commissioner Herberts moved to accept the court as
recommended at the street end of 31st Street. Unanimous.
Commissioner Taft referred to the court at 716 West
Oceanfront. He- reviewed the Commission's action at their
November 1, 1988 meeting for 710 West Oceanfront which is
in ,a similar situation. Action was to remove the two
courts and install one according to regulation. The
committee recommends this action stand for 716 West
Oceanfront.

III. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Director Whitley passed out a letter from Susan Liechty,
20301 Carlsbad Lane, Huntington Beach and property owner
in the Finley tract area, and a petition, both of which
were too late to be an action item. However, this matter
is before the Commission.for discussion. Ms. Liechty is
requesting the house which is not owner - occupied be pur-
chased for a small park. The site is between two street
ends on the canal.
There is a major street project by Public Works to be
considered by the City Council on December 12. The
residents, according to the,petition, are opposed to the
project since parking would be diminished.
Chair Konwiser opened the meeting to Public Testimony and
Susan Liechty, 20301 Carlsbad Lane in Huntington Beach,
•
addressed the Commission and stated her opposition to the
reduction in parking that is proposed. She also stated
there is norpark in this area and asked the Commission
to support purchasing the house for a small park.
Director Whitley advised it was his understanding the owner
did not want to sell and this fact should first be
determined.
Commissioner Herberts suggested the Department landscape
the street ends.
Chair Konwiser recommended Ms. Liechty share her desires
with the City Council at their meeting on December 12 at
which time the Public Works street improvement project is
on their agenda.
IV. DISCUSSION ITEMS
Item #10 - Animal Control Ordinance
Animal
Control
Director Whitley reported staff contacted every City in
Ordinance
Orange County and, after review, not one City prohibits
dogs in parks. Therefore, the original proposal banning
dogs in City parks is back for review in hopes of imple-
•
meeting a better plan.
Staff's recommendation is that they meet with the Police
Department and City Attorney to clarify and revise the
Animal Control Ordinance and request the Police Department
to implement an enforcement program as to dog nuisances and
��9(
dogs on leashes.
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH

the Police Department and City Attorney on the proposed
Ordinance.

Department's new winter recreation brochure. He also
passed out the Olympic Program and reported it was
well done and appreciated.

V. SPECIAL, URGENT OR LAST MINUTE ITEMS
Approval of Concept Proposal - Commissioner Herberts voiced
her concern over the fact that projects come before the
Commission for approval in concept but don't come back in a
compact plan, i.e., Cliff Drive and Park Place. Plans
have come back to the Department but not this Commission,
which has resulted in a lot of wasted time for the
Commissioners.
She suggested consideration be given to not approving a
concept until there are definite plans available.
•
Director Whitley advised the developer goes through the
Planning Commission to get permits, etc., and then goes
ahead with the project.
Chair Konwiser explained this Commission normally doesn't
get involved and cannot approve a specific plan, however,
they can be involved conceptually in a unique project,
such as those pertaining to parks and easements.
Commissioner Grant stated this Commission's responsibility
is to make recommendations with Conditions to the Planning
Commission.

CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
• Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department
DATE: December "28, 1988
TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director
SUBJECT: NIGHT LIGHTING AT BONITA CREEK PARK
Recommendations:
1. Establish operational procedures whereby no new inning in our adult
softball program begins after 10:00 P.M.
2. Consult with Frederick Brown Associates, Electrical Engineers on the
original lighting specifications, to provide shields that will reduce
the ambient light created by the night lighting.
Discussion:
This matter was continued from the Commission meeting of December 6, 1988 to
allow questions to be answered that developed at that time. Specifically,
it has been determined that:
1. Our softball program often runs late and lights have been on until
10:30 - 10:45 P.M.
2. Light fixtures were retro- fitted with brackets that would allow the
installation of shields at a later date.
3. The County owned golf course has a,requirement that there be no
lights after 10:00 P.M.
As we do not program this facility during the Holiday Season, the lights have
not been on at night for 2 -3 weeks. For observation purposes, the lights will
be turned on for a one hour period from 7 ,,00 - 8:00 P.M. on Monday, January 9,
1989. It might be helpful for the Commission to view the light situation
from a number of positions during this time period.
If there are questions or additional information is required, please give me
a call.

DATE: December 29, 1988
TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director
SUBJECT: REQUEST TO REMOVE SAN MIGUEL PARK HANDBALL COURTS
The attached letter represents a request to remove the Handball Courts
located within San Miguel Park. The reasons are outlined by Mr.
Donovan and it should be pointed out that residents of Harbor Ridge have
also complained about the unsightliness of the courts.
The courts cost approximately $30,000 during the original construction of
the park in the early 1980's. The preliminary park plan was reviewed
extensively by 7 different homeowner associations prior to construction.
A significant amount of community input was received and implemented into
the park plan from these residents. However, association boards change and
someone is always left out in this planning process.

Re: San Miguel Park, Handball Courts
Gentlemen:
The purpose of this letter is to request that the
City remove the three -wall handball courts located in San
Miguel Park. They are a nuisance, an eyesore, and are not
used for their intended purpose.
I have owned the house at the above address in the
Broadmoor Seaview Development since April 1979. My home
is at the first level above San Miguel Drive and is imme-
diately adjacent to the Park and the three -wall handball
courts.
When I •purchased the house in 1979, there was a small
MWD reservoir located in what is now the Harbor Hill
development. I had no idea of any development plans for a
Park. When the Park was completed, and the walls for the
handball courts erected, I was appalled at the visual
impact, if nothing else, but decided to see how things
went.
It turned out that people played at all hours, espe-
cially on weekends. The ultimate was someone banging
tennis balls at 7:00 a.m. on New Years Day. Eventually,
your office posted signs that precluded playing prior to
8:00 a.m. and after sundown. Generally, those parameters
have been observed although not without exception. How-
ever, the limitation of time in which play is conducted on
these courts is simply insufficient. I request that those
walls be removed for the following reasons:
City of Newport Beach
December 1, 1988

•
i
1. Nuisance: The sound of tennis balls banging
against a hard concrete wall cannot be ignored,
no matter what time of day it occurs. It is
pervasive and disruptive. One finds oneself
beginning to wait for the next "whap ", much like
waiting for the "other shoe" to drop. It occurs
while one is eating a meal, or simply sitting
outside. It is not background noise like
traffio. It is unbearable and I do not think
that I, or anyone else in the vicinity of those
courts, should have to put up with it, especially
at the prices we paid for the house originally
($300,,000 in 1979) or what they are supposedly
worth today.
2. Eyesore: The courts, frankly, look terrible not
only in the view from my property but I'm sure
from Harbor Hill. Newport Beach does not need a
replica of Stonehenge.
3. The Handball Courts are Not Used for the Purpose
Intended: These are three -wall handball or
racquet ball courts. They are rarely if ever
used for racquet ball and never for handball in
my observation. Rather, they are used almost
exclusively as a tennis backboard. Occasionally,
I have seen them used as a backboard for hockey
played on roller skates. The point is, Newport
Beach has adequate places, for example, schools,
where tennis backboards exist and can be used for
practice purposes. Having what amounts to an
unsightly tennis backboard in the midst of
$500,000 to over $1 million homes is simply
unacceptable.
Should you require any further information from me,
do not hesitate to call. My work number is 714/833 -8893,
and my home number is 714/64'0 -9582.

At our most recent Board of Director's meeting, the Central
Newport Beach Community Association unanimously endorsed the
following suggestions, which have been made jointly with the
Peninsula Point Association and the West Newport Beach Home -
Owner's Association. These are:
1. We support closing of all beaches at 10 P.M., rather than
midnight, with the exception of the Balboa pier area where
fire rings are provided.
2. We support the enforcement of laws relative to sleeping on
the beach or other outdoor areas, particularly on the American
Legion lawn.
3. We support widening of the Litter Free Zone to include the
beach at 15th Street and the areas adjacent to the Balboa
Pier.
4. We support planting and upkeep of flowers around the palm
trees in the center divider on Balboa Boulevard on the
Balboa peninsula.
Our association hopes action will be taken on these items.
If I can be of help please contact me at 675 -1536.

Dear members of the PBR Commission:
I am opposed to closing the beach at 10 p.m. What is the
purpose? There are already ordinances concerning alcohol
on the beach, litter, and disturbing the peace.
What harm-is there in a midnight stroll on the beaCH? Let's
not further erode our quality of life by more restrictive
or.dinANCES.
Unenforceable (and unenforced) ORDINANCES CREATE A DISRESPECT
for the law. Every proposed ordinances should be studied
to make sure that the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.

(OUNCIL AQUA THE DIRT ON NEWPORT BEACH 410._ F_4(b) _ fIYL
The peace and tranquility of Newport Beach and adjacent cities was
suddenly shattered by the Newport Beach City Council about a decade ago.
They approved the appeals of itinerant gardeners and some local ones
to blow the debris they had loosened up onto the adjacent lawns, houses and
streets. They no longer had to sack it up and haul to the dump. Maybe they
saved about S minutes per stop.
Our elected officials, in their infinite wisdom, decided that their
constituentswould be best served by submitting to the ear splitting noise
and the clouds of dust entering their houses. Why?
Did the gardeners have a powerful lobby or a persuasive spokesman? I
can't ,believe that*
so it must be that the Council simply forgot that their
first obligation was to benefit the community.
I have heard many voices, including current Council members, against
this practice but none for it. Will someone please put it on the agenda for
a vote to rescind?
Thank you,

DATE: December 30, 1988
TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director
SUBJECT: OLYMPIC POOL AGREEMENT - CORONA DEL MAR HIGH SCHOOL
Recommendation:
Approve or recommend amendments to the Agreement created to administratively
construct and operate an Olympic Pool at Corona del Mar High School.
Discussion:
On June 13, 1988, the City Council approved of a $625,,000 City contribution to
the Corona del Mar Olympic Swimming Pool to be paid over a three year period.
The City Council directed staff to prepare a Joint Powers Agreement with the
School District for the joint use of this facility. General direction provided
by the City Council was:
• 1. The use of the pool should be evenly divided between the School District
and the City.
2. The maintenance of the facility should be assured and guaranteed by the
School District.
The attached Agreement represents the sixth draft or revision as negotiations
with the staff of the school have occurred. There have been many minor changes
from the original draft as prepared by this Department. Both parties appear
to be in agreement on the document as now presented.
It should be pointed out that the Agreement .requires the City to pay for•one- hal.f.
of the utility'costs of the pool. This item was contested by the City staff,
however, to facilitate the project we can agree to this additional cost and pass
the cost on to users of the facility through fees and charges.
Commission approval of this Agreement will allow the process to be 'implemented
that provides a valuable community resource.

• T
TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
FROM: Beach Study Committee James T. Capretz Chairman
The Committee Consisted Of:
PBR Commissioner Capretz, Citizen J. Michael Ray, Citizen Carol
Martin and Commissioner Diana Springer.
History of Committee:
A. This Committee was formed in October of 1983 as a result
of inquiries of Commissioner Capretz and others about the role of
the PBR Commission in monitoring and preserving one of the most
important assets in the recreational portfolio of the City of
Newport Beach, that is, its beaches. After reviewing the formal
role of the PBR and its responsibilities pursuant to city charterl
and related documentation, the Committee elected to meet with the
various agencies within the city that dealt with the beaches and
study their relationship to each other. The agencies and the
• individuals responsible for them include the Marine Department
under David Harshbarger; Ben Itaecrl•andV#)b'epartment of Public Works
and Wade Beyeler, General Services director.
B. Recommendations of Committee.
THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS ARE MADE BY THE ,COMMITTEE
AS A RESULT OF ITS STUDY.
1. That the policy regulations of the PB &R be reviewed
and appropriately modified to include a clear and more decisive
explanation of the responsibility and functions of the PB &R
Commission for the city maintained beaches.
2. That the PB &R Commission assume an active role
as beach "watch dog" and monitor the use and maintenance of these
most valuable resources.
3. That the Commission request the City Council to
direct the Marine Department, the Department of Public Works,
and the General Services Administration to orally report no less
1 Section 709 states that the Commission shall have the power
and duty to (a) Act in an advisory capacity to the City Council
• in all matters pertaining to parks, beaches . . . (d) Establish
policies for the acquisition, development and improvement of
parks, beachs. .
a
. than quarterly on their activities and on the condition and usage
of this resource; it is further suggested that at the first pres-
entation each department briefly.explain their duties and liabil-
ities to the Commission. Also, the Commission should consider
reports from the Police on public safety issues.
4. That a public comments section be added to the
agenda of each PB &R Commission meeting whereby the public is
allowed to comment on matters affecting our beaches. The time of
each speaker is to be limited to three minutes per person.
5. That the Beach Committee be dissolved and the PB &R
Commission take full responsibililty for the "watch dog" services
that we are recommending be a part of our responsibility;
6. That the Commission report to the City Council that
the informal relationship existing among the various departments
and agencies which impact our beaches is currently working but
that a review and evaluation should be made bythe City Manager of
the organizational structure for maintaining a long -term liaison
between the various agencies as well as establishing a formal
procedure for resolving any problems which may occur as the City
grows and the respective agency heads changes, to ensure that the
beaches which are maintained by the City are maintained at the
highest possible level.
. 7. That the particular problems that exist with that
beach, known as Little Corona, be studied by a qualified engi-
neering firm or other outside resource and that the funds for such
a study be initially solicited from the General Fund or from
tidelines funds. Little Corona Beach is a popular, state owned
and city maintained beach that has diminished in size due to ero-
sion apparently caused by the long -term actions of the sea as
well as by certain increased drainage that has flowed down Buck
Gully and which may be exacerbated by a certain dam construction
whereby the beach meets Buck Gully. The problems are not only
beach erosion but also concern the type of sand present (black
sand) as well as a rock bottom that has developed off shore. At
a minimum, it is recommended that the City Council consider that
an environmental impact report be deemed necessary before any
further building is allowed which property would drain into Buck
Gully. This recommendation is particularly important inlight of
the pending construction projects in the5th Avenue Corridor and
as proposed for Pelican Hill and related a -yeas.
C. Minutes of Committee Meeting.
The Committee first met with Dave Harshbarger in the
Marine Department. After meeting with each of the agencies and
their various responsibilities for the beaches it is clear that
the Marine Department has principal responsibility for most beach
• related activity, including the responsibility, for marine safety
and the tidelands administration. The Department.is divided into
i
-2-
a marine safety division and tidelands operations division. In
• his presentation, Mr. Harshbarger gave a very descriptive expla-
nation of the three agencies and their various responsibilities
as well as the details of the workings of the operations of his
two divisions. Mr. Harshbarger made the following observations:
(1) that his department would not miaid periodically reporting to
the Parks, Beaches, and Recreation Commission; (2) that although
there is no strict line of division between the various agencies'
responsibilities and although various problems do periodically
surface as to which agency bears the responsibility, should any
conflict arise, the,city manager's office would' be responsible
for resolving a problem since the City Manager is in charge of
administering the affairs of the city and in so doing directing
the various agencies. Mr. Harshbarger did indicate that there
was a good working relationship between the various agency heads
and if, for example, the Marine Department noticed certain main-
tenance work needed, a call to the General Services Administra-
tion would usually insure completion of the task. The specific
problem of the diminishing beach at Little Corona as well as the
rocky surface of the current beach was brought'to Mr.
Harshbarger's attention for his comment. Mr. Hashbarger
apparently has been involved with the city of Newport Beach for a
period of years and was well aware of the eroding beach as well
as the swath that cuts across the beaches as a result of heavy
drainage of water from Buck Gully. While Mr. Harshbarger indi-
cated he did not know the solution, he indicated that an engi-
neering question was involved and perhaps a study should be
undertaken;-and money should be allocated for a study of the
Little Corona situation. Mr. Harshbarger would support a review
of that particular beach area. Mr. Harshbarger did provide a
very informed description of the effect of the waves and storms
on the various beaches of Newport Beach. He used a large map in
his headquarters which was very descriptive to outline the
beaches available and the effect of the storm waves on beach
areas. It was concluded that Mr. Harshbarger is very
knowledgeable about beach erosion and the cause of same and also
very aware of the impact of the various storms and seasons on
this most valuable asset. A history was related by Mr.
Harshbarger of the West Newport erosion problem and how that
situation was corrected. Mr. Harshbarger also discussed the
lifeguard responsibilities including the number of guards used
and the part -time or seasonal system that is used for providing
back up during busy times. He further gave a detailed presen-
tation on the meaning of the tidelands administration which
includes the management of harbor activities and property. He
further discussed the Marine Department's activities in rela-
tionship to the maintainance•of the various piers.
3°
i
C. The Committee next met with Ben Knowland, head of the
Public Works Department. In addition to committee members,
Mr. Harshbarger also attended this meeting. The Committee
explained to Mr. Knowland its role was to discuss the role of the
Department of Public Works in the preservation and maintenance of
-3-
the beaches of the city of Newport Beach; to discuss problem
• areas such as the Little Corona beach erosion and to discuss the
role of the three agencies. Mr. Harshbarger informed us that
informal meetings were typically conducted among the three agency.
heads or between any two which may be involved in any given
problem areas. In certain 'instances, more than,one agency would
be used to resolve the problem. Typically, it was a smooth
working relationship although isolated problems sometimes occur.
One particular instance was recited by Dave Harshbarger about a
report of a floating dock -in the bay whereby there was some con-
fusion as to the proper authority to respond. Someone also men-
tioned the fact that they knew of a situation where a further
bathroom facility was needed on one of our beaches but no one
seemed to know where to go in the City for action, even after
talking with city personnel. One of the ideas that came from the
discussion of these issues was the possibility of having the PBR
Commission and /or staff act as a forum for any citizen 'request
for action concerning the beaches or for the resolution of any
problems concerning the beaches. It was at this meeting that it
was reinforced that the Marine Department might periodically
report to the Commission on beach activities and that it would be
appropriate for the Commission to request the City Council to
direct the Marine Department to report on the beaches as a
recreation area. Further discussion was held with Mr. Knowland
and others including how.capital improvement requests were made
through the City Council; through various departments in the
• city; through citizen action groups such as the homeowners asso-
ciations, etc. A discussion followed as to how the resources are
allocated that are available for capital improvement projects;
the highest priority being given to projects which resolve those
things which are a hazard to life and property. It was reported
that approximately ninety percent of the beach capital project
requirements are made through the Marine Department including
those items that require a specialized study or report. The next
item discussed at this meeting was a discussion of the Little
'Corona beach situation. Mr. Knowland acknowledged the beach ero-
sion and other problems stemming from (among other things) the
increased drainage that is flowing through Buck Gully as a result
of improvements in the area and nearby areas that drain through
the canyon. It was suggested by Mr. Knowland that the one remedy
he knows would be the installation of a drainage pipe that would
empty some distance off shore. He estimated that such costs,
however, may run as high as $1.0 million and this would probably
make such an improvement prohibitive. It was also mentioned --that
the installation of a groin such as those that were installed in
West Newport may stabilize the beach area but that, too, would be
a very expensive project. Mr Knowland also mentioned that he
believes any future housing or other projects would probably add
to the erosion of the beach as a result of the increased drainage
through the canyon.
5�
4P
D. The Committee then met with Wade Beyeler, head of the
General Services Administration. Mr. Beyeler discussed in detail
IM19
the beach cleaning detail that he. uses, the beach cleaning per-
sonnel and equipment that he uses for the year -round maintenance
bf- our beaches. The details discussed included the starting
times and the-amount of times per week the beaches are cleaned
(including variances for heavy summer traffic). Mr. Beyeler
discussed the aging condition of his various items of equipment
as well as his organizational structure. A beach foreman is
responsible for getting certain areas cleaned when returning to
report to his operational foreman. Mr. Beyeler mentioned that
certain beach maintenance remedial jobs are of such magnitude
that a contractor needs to be hired to get the job completed,
particularly where special equipment is needed or the size dic-
tates it. Mr. Beyeler mentioned how he has a small budget for
any outside contract work that needs to be done and that if a
more substantive project need be undertaken, he will typically
meet with Public Works and Public Works will hire the outside
contractor to complete the job. Mr. Beyeler also mentioned the
pick up and servicing of the various bins of beach trash. In
reference to the Little Corona beach, Mr. Beyeler mentioned that
due to the steep and narrow roadway leading to the beach, he can
only get certain small equipment in for the cleaning. A
discussion was held on the obvious need for more attention and
better procedures mentioned at that beach site. One of the
recommendations made at that particular meeting was that there
needs to be a procedure established for the organization and
periodical clean up of the Little Corona Beach area. Mr. Beyeler
also suggested that there is a satisfactory level of cooperation
between the various agencies and, despite their various limited
budget, they were able to do an adequate job; although it was
generally.•agreed that the city's beaches could use and would
benefit from improved upkeep and cleanliness. In addressing the
general problem of erosion and drainage that exists with the
Little Corona Beach, Mr. Beyeler indicated that he too was aware
of the situation at that beach. He would suggest that an eva-
luation be made of the controversial dam that had been
constructed some years prior to see if it is doing the job
intended or whether or not it should be removed. He further felt
some channelization work needed to be done upstream which would
channel the water in a direct and clear method. One of the ways
of cleaning this channel would be to talk with the Fish and -Game
Department about clearing out the current dense growth area.
Although it was not directly said, one of the messages from
this meeting was that if funds were budgeted for extra clean up
and the moving of sand for Little Corona that would provide some
relief of the current problems although that would not provide a
longterm remedy or solution to the problem. Mr. Beyeler also
indicated that a further study of Buck Gully and the long term
problems would be desirable but that he recognized getting the
funds for the study may be difficult. He suggested that the
Committee check to see if the General Fund would be available for
such a study. He then suggested that one examine the-question as
• to whether or not the Little Corona Beach area was in the tide-
lands area and if so, it may be that tidelands oil revenue would
-5-
be available to pay for whatever studies and /or remedial work
• is necessary. Mr. Beyeler closed his remarks by indicating that
he may need an additional beach cleaner with equipment in the near
future if he is going to be able to continue to adequately per-
form his job. The meeting with Mr. Beyeler concluded the.
Committee's interviews. The Committee then met on two separate
occasons to discuss their findings and to formulate a response to
the PB &R Commission. The observation is made that each of the
agency heads was cooperative and informative and that there did
seem to exist a good working relationship between the respective
agencies.

Ron Whitley reviewed the City Manager's, memorandum dated
June 26. The City Manager feels that by sending this memo
to the four involved departments that it will give the
Commission a• stronger influence and help to accomplish their
recommendations. Mr. Whitley mentioned that the recommenda-
tions do not have to go back to Council unless there is a
change and /or new policy.
.
Discussion followed concerning methods of getting public
3
input concerning beach activity. Two ideas were issuing
press releases and adding a public comments section to the
agenda. Mr. Whitley
also mentioned that Dave Harshbarger,
Marine Director, said he or a member of his staff Would be
more than willing to attend a Commission meeting whenever
necessary.

Capretz brought up the subject of implementing a study con-
cerning an evaluation of the problems at Little Corona. Mr.
Whitley pointed out the Commission would have to recommend a
study be funded in a future fiscal year. However, if the
Commission feels the matter is urgent, they can recommend to
Council that an appropriation be made for that specific
purpose as soon as possible. Also, if and when there may be
development in the area, the developer should be responsible
regarding water flow into the area, etc.
Capretz motioned the City Council be asked to immediately
review any construction projects from this date forward that
may drain into the area known as Buck Gully. Recent findings
have been made that prove increased drainage through that
gully has created problems with the beach area known as
Little Corona. Therefore, the City Council should take what-
ever action is necessary, including requiring such reports as
•
may be needed, to insure the protection of that beach.
Springer
seconded.
Discussion .followed concerning the preparation of Environ-
mental Impact Reports to insure protection of the beach.
Capretz also pointed out that the matter of Little Corona is
necessary and urgent, and that any development in that area
might cause problems which would worsen the situation. .He
felt a study should be done to review causes and solutions
concerning restoring the beach to its original condition.
He,hopes to.meet with Councilmen Agee and /or Cox regarding
funding for such a study.
Commissioner King suggested the motion consist of the `last
two sentences of Recommendation No. 7 on Page 2 of the
beach study report.
Capretz amended his motion to include the following which
would precede his motion: Due to certain problems at Little
Corona which have apparently been caused by excess drainage,
it is concluded the earlier EIR's prepared for those areas
that are draining into Buck Gully be reviewed and re-evaluatEd.
Springer indicated she would vote nay since she felt the
motion should be reworded and that a subcommittee be
appointed.
�j
Capretz amended his motion to also include that the City
Council review any and all construction and that prior EIR
reports have not given us the protection that the beach
needs.

will be discussed. de Boom seconded. Unanimous.
In the meantime, Ron Whitley will contact the Planning De-
partment regarding environmental policies and the Public
Works Department to identify the problems at Little Corona.

Ron Whitley,gave a brief background regarding the Marine

Department's request to install two volleyball courts in the
B Street parking lot area. This is in conjunction with their
six week junior lifeguard program. 'Mr. Whitley pointed out
that the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission establishes
the locations of volleyball courts and that a previoust
decision had been made not to put permanent courts in this
area.
The letter from Secondo and Dona Colombero, dated June 28,
1984, states they are adamently opposed to volleyball courts
in this area. However, they have since communicated that
they are not opposed to a temporary location.
King motioned the Commission approve the Marine Department's
request to install two temporary volleyball courts at the B
Street parking lot area provided the Marine Department in-
stalls and removes them at the end of the junior lifeguard
program. Seconded by Springer.
Hopkins moved the motion be amended to include the courts be
