He discussed the physical capabilities of expanding; the airport, indicating the airport could handle as many as 120 average daily departures from 7 a.m., to 10 p.m. He also discussed noise control standards, and answered questions of the Council. Pierce O'Donnel, the City's legal counsel for John Wayne Airport, discussed the purpose of the California Environmental Quality Act lawsuit filed by the City of Newport Beach against John Wayne Airport in March, 1981, which the City won in January 1982, but is now under appeal. Mr. O'Donnel stated that the court case should be heard in late 1983 with a decision by Spring, 1984. Following that, the losing party (hopefully the County of Orange), can then make a discretionary appeal to the California Supreme Court. The new EIR now being prepared by the County could take 6 to 12 months for the entire processing. He stated it was very difficult to tell how much time one can buy through litigation. He advised that five major airlines now serve the airport, and that just today, American Airlines was permitted access, making a total of six. He stated that there is "very bad" state and federal legislation pending regarding airports, which he commented on briefly. He discussed the options available to the Council, and the possibility of a permanent legally binding agreement with the County. He stated that such an agreement was fully enforceable by the courts, and could be tested prior to taking effect. Question was raised by Mayor Pro Tem Maurer as to whether a binding agreement could control future Boards of Supervisors, to which the City Attorney replied in the affirmative, stating there are similar agreements in effect now. Mayor Hart read into the record the recommended amendment to Council Policy B -1, which had been approved by the Aviation Committee by a vote of 6 to 2: • Volume 37 - Page 169 1 L COUNCIL MEMBERS C+G �� F� 9C f ROLL CDI 1 May 23, 1983 MINUTES INDEX :ncl "With an acceptable legally binding O/C-Jot guarantee, the City will agree to an Arprt /( increase in commercial jet airline P1cy B- operations to a total number not to exceed .55 average daily departures. The City also recognizes that such legally binding guarantees will require review and participation by parties currently involved with the City in airport litigation. Any such legally binding agreement shall contain to the greatest degree possible all other elements of the above policy." The following persons addressed the Council in support of the recommended amendment to Council Policy B -1: Dorothy Hardeastle, 507 "J" Street Michael Murray, 1848 Port Taggart Place Ralph Clock, 116 Via Havre Richard Luehrs, Executive Director, Newport Harbor Area Chamber of Commerce Vince Jorgensen, Member, Aviation Committee Gordon Young, 310 Encina Avenue Malcolm Ross, 2711 Bayshore Drive George Watson, 112 Garnet Avenue (supported amendment, with suggested change) .

Bay Avenue The recommended amendment to Council Policy B -1 was stated again for the benefit of those in the audience and clarification. In response to Council inquiry regarding the invalidation of a binding agreement, the City Attorney advised that, a federal court, or Congress could pass such legislation which could invalidate a binding agreement. However, he and Mr. O'Donnel feel the City would be in a much better position to fight such legislation if it was a party to a binding agreement. They are also confident that a decision of a federal judge to preempt local control of airport development would, in fact, remove any constraint to the development of that airport which had been relied upon by the City up to this point in time. He stated the agreement would contain a provision that would empower the City to obtain an injunction against any activity that was proposed by the County, which would have an impact: on noise. Mr. O'Donnel commented that the joint powers agreement, which Burbank /Glendale /Pasadena Airports have developed is a good model of a binding agreement. He reiterated that he felt a binding; agreement was enforceable, as well as workable. He stated that the threat of the federal government to take -over the whole issue of airports has been in existence for decades. He stated that he and the City Attorney feel that provision guarantees can be included in the binding agreement to make it difficult for the federal government to impair the obligation of contract, i.e., joint powers agreement. In response to question raised as to whether the binding agreement should include a provision regarding an alternate airport site, thus making it more defensible, the City Attorney advised that, in his opinion as well as Mr. O'Donnel's, it would not make it more binding, nor more legally defensible. Volume 37 - Page 171 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH COUNCIL MEMBERS MINUTES \rA1f o�9 `G��4 ROLL g��%P May 23, 1983 INDEX t/ The City Attorney also pointed out that the O/C-John proposed policy change before the Council Wyn Arpr would not amend paragraph one of the City's Cncl Plc • airport policy, which urges the selection of B -1 an alternate airport site. Motion x Following a statement by Mayor Pro Tem Maurer expressing his reasons for supporting the 55 Average Daily Departures at this time, motion was made by Council Member Plummer to approve the recommended amendment to Council Policy B -1, as set :forth by the Aviation Committee. The City Manager read into the record the following statement of Council Member Strauss, who was unable to be in attendance: "The City Council is considering an amendment to City Airport Policy B -1. "I am opposed to the proposed amendment because it does not require the County to locate and develop another airport to supplement John Wayne Airport. "Unless another airport is established, a legally binding agreement at 55 (or less) flights will, I believe, prove to be of no value to the City. "Every study of airport demand shows a future need for far more than 55 flights. (If the City didn't think so . it wouldn't be seeking a legally binding agreement at 55!) The gut question, then,'is WHERE WILL THE EXCESS FLIGHTS GO? "Clearly we need a legally binding flight limit including an agreement to locate and develop a supplementary airport. Nothing less can protect our citizens from being overwhelmed by an ever - growing and ever - busier John Wayne Airport." All Ayes Following comments by various Council Members, the motion was voted on and carried. Thomas Edwards addressed the Council again, and suggested the Board of Supervisors be required to respond within a "time certain" regarding the 55 average daily departures. • Volume 37 - Page 172 t/ COUNCIL MEMBERS \CAL\L� I1� OLL Motion All Ay 0 Motion All Ay Motion All Ay on A Ay Motion All Ay MINUTES May 23, 1983 M51:V1 Aye if significant progress has not been made by Arprt /Cncl June 27, 1983„ by the Board of Supervisors Plcy B -1 with respect to the 55 Average Daily Departures, the City Council will reconsider its policy change. 2.

It was noted that the accompanying staff report from the Police and Marine Departments had recommended denial of the request. Mary Blake, representing the Rehabilitation Institute of Orange County, addressed the Council, and spoke in support of their request. During discussion it was pointed out, as set forth in the staff report, that the request to close a public pier during its peak season would not be in the best interest of the City, and would. generate other similar requests from charitable organizations, In addition, permission is also being requested for serving alcoholic beverages and reserving 150 parking spaces in the Balboa Municipal Parking Lot. x Following consideration, motion was made to es uphold the staff's recommedation and deny the foregoing request.

Richard Succa, 715 Marguerite Avenue, . addressed the Council, advising that he has met with staff and members of the Council regarding the 5th Avenue park site. He stated he was in agreement to fill in the creek; however, he did feel that alternatives would be gained by having the park graded as recommended by the Corona del Mar Community Association. He indicated he felt the most effective use of the property would be as an "active" park. He also added that he was opposed to any widening of 5th Avenue. The Director of Public Works pointed out that the only work to be done on.15th Avenue that would be associated with the grading of the Jasmine gully parcel, would be the grading for the widening of 5th Avenue between Jasmine and Larkspur to 32 feet for two —way travel. Nancy Otis, resident, addressed the Council and stated she was concerned that possibly 5th Avenue would be extended and opposed this, as her home was located on the corner of Larkspur and 5th Avenue.
