assessment. The Advisory Board that serves the CdM BID is different and distinct from
other advisory bodies within the City of Newport Beach (City) and is not appointed in the
same manner. The City relies upon the Streets and Highways Code for BID Advisory
Board appointments rather than City Council Policy A-2, Board, Commission and
Committee Appointments.
Michelle Peschel, representing Villa Real Estate, resigned from her seat on the Advisory
Board because she no longer works for Villa Real Estate.
Pursuant to the Maddy Act, the City Clerk prepared and posted a Notice of
Unscheduled Vacancy on January 8, 2016, in the City Clerk’s Office, at the Central
Library, on the City’s webpage, and on the bulletin board located in the City Council
Chambers; and published the Notice of Unscheduled Vacancy in the Daily Pilot on
January 13, 2016.
It is the CdM BID Advisory Board’s desire to fill the unscheduled vacancy for the
remaining FY 2015-2016 term, ending June 30, 2016. At its January 28, 2016 meeting,
the CdM BID Advisory Board reviewed the applications on file and is recommending
that the City Council appoint Ed Hanley, representing Hanley Investment Group, to the
CdM BID Advisory Board of Directors for FY 2015-2016.
