Item 6.1 - Election of Officers
23 Harbor Island Dock Reconfiguration - Appeal2.
The applicant at 23 Harbor Island is appealing the Harbor Manager’s decision
regarding his proposed dock reconfiguration project. Specifically relating to the
distance the finger floats extend out into the bay, the applicant is requesting the
floats extend the same distance as in their current configuration which is ten feet

At the May 2017 meeting, the Harbor Commission approved a dock
reconfiguration project at 2121 Bayside Drive. However, after the Harbor
Commission’s approval, the applicant clarified a misunderstanding with his
contractor as to the desired slip length, and requested the fingers be longer than
originally approved to accommodate the applicant’s vessel and to prevent
damage from the swells near the harbor entrance.

Visiting Large Vessel Anchorage Fees - Discussion and Direction for the Ad
Hoc Committee
7.
Over the past few years, a few larger vessels have visited Newport Harbor and
have successfully anchored in the Turning Basin adjacent to the temporary, trial
anchorage area. Staff has charged these visiting vessels a pro-rated mooring
permit fee, and the Harbor Commission has questioned whether a more
proportionate fee would be appropriate.
Recommendation:
1) Direct the ad hoc committee to return to the Harbor Commission with a
recommended fee program by the September 2017 meeting.

6) CURRENT BUSINESS
1. Underwater Harbor Cleanup – Recap of June 3, 2017 Event
Mr. Mark Ward of the organization Help Your Harbor will provide a recap of their inaugural
underwater harbor cleanup event on June 3, 2017.
Recommendation:
1) Receive and file.
Harbor Resources Manager Miller introduced Mr. Ward.
Mark Ward reported regarding the first underwater cleanup of Newport Harbor. About 8 million tons of
plastic pollution enters the oceans each year. Micro plastics in the oceans are 1 million times more toxic
than the surrounding water. As birds and fish eat the micro plastics, the toxicity advances through the
food chain. He and his friends rebuilt a Duffy electric boat and toured with it from Santa Barbara to
Ensenada, Mexico, to raise awareness and obtain sponsors for ocean cleanup. Through that trip, he
learned that beach cleanups are effective, but there are no harbor cleanups. He and his partners started
Help Your Harbor to remove surface trash from harbors. The first Saturday of each month, 30-70
2
volunteers clean up harbors. The total amount of surface trash collected to date is 21,403 pounds. Dana
Point has been conducting underwater cleanups for 12 years and Avalon for 33 years. Two hundred
twenty-one volunteers collected an estimated 1,100 pounds of trash during the first underwater Newport
Harbor cleanup. Help Your Harbor is working with the City’s Water Quality/Coastal Tidelands Committee
to build a trash collection device similar to the Baltimore Water Wheel. The turning water wheel conveys
trash up a belt into a dumpster. The dumpster is located on a detachable barge so that it can be emptied.
Help Your Harbor has raised some private funds for development of this device. The most interesting
item found during the cleanup was a handgun in a holster. The Harbor Patrol sent a diver to retrieve the
gun.
In reply to Commissioner Cunningham's questions, Mr. Ward stated the City does a good job of dredging
the main channels; therefore little trash will be found in the channels. The cleanup effort focused on the
docks. As far as a location for the water wheel, engineers will determine where it will be located. The
engineers and City staff believe a water wheel can work above stream where San Diego Creek enters the
Upper Bay. A very rough estimate of the cost for the water wheel is $1.5-$2 million. Donated funds were
used to prepare CEQA reports that the City can utilize in applying for Measure M funding. The Baltimore
water wheel is 16 feet tall at its highest point.
In response to Commissioner Drayton's inquiries, Mr. Ward advised that the Baltimore Water Wheel cost
approximately $1.5 million. Because this application is more complicated, the cost estimate is closer to
$2 million. Approvals will be obtained from federal, state, county, and City agencies such as the Coastal
Commission, County Flood Control, Army Corps of Engineers, and Game and Fish.
Commissioner Kenney commended Mr. Ward and Help Your Harbor for their efforts to clean the Harbor.
He requested Mr. Ward keep the Harbor Commission apprised of their progress and ask for assistance
with entitlements, if needed.
In response to Chair Blank's queries, Mr. Ward indicated Harbor Marina is located at Newport Boulevard
and PCH. On June 3, volunteers cleaned three fingers at Balboa Bay Club, three fingers at Harbor
Marina, two fingers plus some additional area at Duffy's service yard, and the public dock at 15th Street.
In order to hold more cleanups, Help Your Harbor needs more volunteers, funding, and donated prizes.
Support for the water wheel would be helpful as well.
Mayor Pro Tem Duffield encouraged the Harbor Commission to form a subcommittee to work with Staff
on the water wheel and on outreach to support the water wheel. The conservancy for the Upper Bay
pushed back regarding the water wheel. The Harbor Commission could work with Fuscoe Engineering to
learn about the water wheel. Due to engineering challenges, the water wheel will not pick up all the trash
during heavy rain events. However, a great deal of trash enters the Harbor during dry water flows, which
occur all year. Another trash collection device, located across the Bay from San Diego Creek, will be
completed shortly
Chair Blank indicated the Harbor Commission would discuss forming a subcommittee.
Assistant City Manager Carol Jacobs suggested Public Works staff provide the Harbor Commission with a
presentation regarding the water wheel.
2. Mooring Administration in Newport Harbor – Status Update on the City's Plan to Assume
Mooring Responsibilities
Recommendation:
1) Provide input to staff. Receive and file.
Assistant City Manager Jacobs reported she and Public Works staff have been tasked with creating a
new Mooring Management Plan within the Harbor. She introduced Dennis Durgan, the City's new
Harbormaster.
3
Harbormaster Dennis Durgan advised that he has been working closely with the Orange County Sheriff's
Department, Harbor Patrol to transition the mooring management program. Staff will be patrolling the
Harbor to match the moored boats to what is on the City’s records. The mooring management office will
be located in Marina Park. The Sheriff's Department will continue to enforce laws in the Harbor.
Harbor Resources Manager Miller provided an update of the mooring management program. Staff is
negotiating contracts with TowBoatUS and Sea Tow for harbor tows and assistance. Mooring permittees
will be responsible for boats going awry in the mooring field. Staff will meet with the Newport Mooring
Association soon to review rules. Staff will install software to automate the mooring permit process by
July 1. Staff is developing a new paper permit and updating forms and administrative tasks to meet new
mooring codes, rules, and regulations. The City will have three vessels, a Boston whaler called
Harbormaster I, and two low-wake pontoon vessels called Harbormaster II and III. Additional guest/visitor
moorings will be installed along the H and J field. Staff is exploring the idea of a sand line-style mooring,
which will be a new concept for Newport Beach. These moorings will have larger, brightly painted buoys
that will be identifiable at night. Staff continues to learn about the vessel lien and impound process.
Small vessels that have been impounded will be stored at the Balboa Yacht Basin and larger vessels at
their current location in the mooring field, where available. Outreach has consisted of postcards, which
have generated many phone calls and questions. More detailed information will be sent to mooring
permittees and waterfront residents. Staff is in the process of hiring Harbor Service Workers who will be
on the water. Staff is still exploring hours these workers will be on the water. Mooring customer service
is currently being handled by Basin Marine staff currently located at Marina Park. Many people in the City
are helping staff with development of the mooring program.
Commissioner Kenney related an incident of a collision between two vessels at the Balboa Yacht Club
mooring field. There were allegations of the collision being a hit and run, of alcohol being involved, and of
a delay in the Harbor Patrol's response. In response to his questions, Assistant City Manager Jacobs
reported staff will be trained to take accident reports. The Sheriff's Department will continue to respond to
emergencies. The Police Department and Sheriff's Department will work together to resolve hit-and-run
accidents and enforcement of laws as necessary.
Commissioner Drayton welcomed Mr. Durgan and acknowledged the work performed by the Sheriff's
Department in managing moorings. Perhaps at the end of the summer, the Harbor Commission can
explore shrinking the size and footprint of mooring fields to make more open water available for
recreational uses.
In reply to Chair Blank's inquiries, Harbor Resources Manager Miller advised that he did not have a target
date to present Harbor Code amendments to the Council, but it could occur in July. If time allows, he will
present the amendments to the Harbor Commission. Feedback from the community consisted of general
questions with most people wanting to know the new rules for moorings.
A Commissioner hoped the speed limit exception for sail racing and human-powered craft will be included
in the Harbor Code amendments.
Mark Alsobrook, Harbor Patrol, clarified that the Harbor Patrol responded immediately to the incident
mentioned by Commissioner Kenney and completed sobriety checks. The Sheriff's Department will
continue to respond to that type of scenario. The Sheriff's Department will respond to a vessel collision,
including a vessel underway because it typically involves a violation of boating law. The City will respond
to a vessel that breaks free of its mooring.
Jim Pickell commented regarding Sally Cooper, the Harbor Patrol's mooring administrator of moorings.
Her knowledge of moorings is impeccable, and the loss of her expertise and knowledge will result in a
serious cost to the mooring community. He recommended that City staff discuss ways to retain her
involvement in moorings. The community is aware of and appreciates her knowledge.
Jim Mosher remarked that there is a certain element of disarray to the transition of the mooring program
and inquired about the agency responsible for enforcement of the harbor speed limit.
4
Chair Blank stated enforcement of the speed limit is the Sheriff's Department's responsibility.
3. West Anchorage Update – Planning for the Future
Due to the anticipated lead time to secure regulatory approval for a more permanent solution to
the trial West Anchorage area should the Harbor Commission decide to recommend such a
program, staff is requesting this topic be discussed so that planning for the future may occur
sooner rather than later, if applicable.
Recommendation:
1) Review the status of the trial West Anchorage and initiate discussion on a plan going
forward, if applicable.
Harbor Resources Manager Miller noted this is the third trial of the West Anchorage. He requested the
Harbor Commission discuss the West Anchorage in terms of forming a program for 2018.
Commissioner West recalled subcommittee comments that, if the anchorage continues to be successful,
the subcommittee will likely recommend the anchorage be made permanent on a seasonal basis. One of
the features of the anchorage has been to prohibit large-scale raft-ups. Harbor Patrol has been helpful in
tabulating the utilization of the anchorage and tracking complaints. The subcommittee based its
recommendation to proceed with a third season on the lack of complaints and increasing utilization.
Continuing to tabulate utilization and to record complaints will be important.
Harbor Resources Manager Miller explained that he requested a discussion of the West Anchorage at the
current time because of the lengthy Coast Guard application process. Currently, vessels over 125 feet
are charged a prorated mooring fee. The Commission can discuss fees for these large vessels.
In reply to Commissioner Girling's question, Harbor Resources Manager Miller indicated the Commission
can place the discussion on a future agenda.
A Commissioner suggested staff submit an application to the Coast Guard soon and make the application
subject to a Council decision in the fall.
Chair Blank heard no overt objection to staff proceeding with an application to the Coast Guard. After
determining utilization of the anchorage in 2017, the Commission will agendize a discussion in the fall as
to whether to recommend the anchorage be made seasonally permanent. There will likely be an agenda
item regarding fees for extraordinary vessels seeking temporary mooring permits.
Commissioner West advised that, after evaluation of the first two seasons, visits by extraordinary vessels
were trouble-free.
7) COMMISSIONER ANNOUNCEMENTS (NON-DISCUSSION ITEMS)
Chair Blank reported he and Commissioner Kenney attended the Harbor Summit for charter boat
operators, sailing schools, and yacht clubs. Unfortunately, it was not well attended. Attendees suggested
ways to increase participation including holding the summit at a different time and on a different day of the
week.
A Commissioner advised that the Wooden Boat Festival was a success with more than 3,000 people in
attendance.
8) QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH COUNCIL LIAISON ON HARBOR RELATED ISSUES
Mayor Pro Tem Duffield encouraged the Harbor Commission to form a subcommittee to help him and
staff explore creative dredging methods and budgeting for dredging.
5
Commissioner West noted a communication from Harbor Resources Manager Miller that the Commission
is to suspend its communications with the Council via established liaison system. He hoped staff will
investigate concerns and help the Commission develop a good communication method for the future.
9) QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH HARBOR RESOURCES MANAGER ON HARBOR RELATED
ISSUES
Harbor Resources Manager Miller expressed appreciation for Commissioner West's work on the Harbor
Commission. Commissioner West has been a tremendous asset to the Harbor Commission.
Commissioner West thanked the Commission and staff for the opportunity to work with them. It has been
a rewarding and remarkable experience.
In reply to Commissioner Cunningham's inquiry, Harbor Resources Manager Miller reported all grant
funds for the derelict boat program have been expended. The application for a new grant was submitted
on time and is under review.
In response to Commissioner Kenney's question, Harbor Resources Manager Miller advised that there
was nothing to report concerning the City purchasing a dredging scow. The current dredging contractor
has quite a few jobs coming up and should be in the Harbor for a number of months.
10) PUBLIC COMMENTS ON SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS OR QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH
COUNCIL LIAISON OR HARBOR RESOURCES MANAGER
Jim Mosher remarked that there had been a noticeable change in respect for the Harbor Commission
under Commissioner West's tenure as Chair. Mr. Mosher did not make the complaint about the liaison
system, and he was baffled by both the complaint and the lack of an explanation for the complaint.
Chair Blank concurred with Mr. Mosher's comment regarding Commissioner West. Someone raised a
concern about the Commission's liaison system, not a complaint. He did not know what the concern is.
11) MATTERS WHICH COMMISSIONERS WOULD LIKE PLACED ON A FUTURE AGENDA FOR
DISCUSSION, ACTION OR REPORT (NON-DISCUSSION ITEM)
Chair Blank noted future agenda items of forming a subcommittee for application for Measure M funding
for water wheel; a Public Works presentation on the water wheel; forming a subcommittee for dredging;
and mooring permit fees for extraordinary vessels.
In reply to Commissioner Kenney's query, Chair Blank reported subcommittee assignments will be
included on the agenda when the new Commissioner is appointed.
Mayor Pro Tem Duffield appreciated Commissioner West making the Harbor Guide both professional and
informative.
12) DATE AND TIME FOR NEXT MEETING: Wednesday, July 12, 2017
13) ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Harbor Commission, the meeting was adjourned at

TITLE: 23 Harbor Island Dock Reconfiguration - Appeal
______________________________________________________________________
ABSTRACT:
The applicant at 23 Harbor Island is appealing the Harbor Manager’s decision regarding
his proposed dock reconfiguration project. Specifically relating to the distance the finger
floats extend out into the bay, the applicant is requesting the floats extend the same
distance as in their current configuration which is ten feet beyond the Pierhead Line.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. The Harbor Commission may reverse the Harbor Manager’s decision and allow
the finger floats to extend the same distance beyond the Pierhead Line as in the
current configuration.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
There is no fiscal impact related to this item.
DISCUSSION:
The applicant at 23 Harbor Island is proposing to replace his dock system (pier, gangway
and float) in a configuration very similar to existing. Specifically, the applicant proposes
to:
Remove the existing 978 square foot U-shaped float.
Replace with a 974 square foot U-shaped float, but enlarging the inside slip space
by relocating the west finger.
Removing and replacing the pier, like-for-like.
23 Harbor Island Dock Reconfiguration - Appeal
July 12, 2017
Page 2
Removing the gangway from the east finger, and replacing/relocating the gangway
to the west finger.
Removing and relocating three guide piles to allow for the wider slip.
At issue for the Harbor Commission is the distance the finger floats extend beyond the
Pierhead Line. Council Policy H-1 states that piers on Harbor Island will be permitted to
extend to the U.S. Pierhead Line, but no further. In this proposal, the applicant desires
to extend the floats ten feet beyond the Pierhead Line which is where his current finger
floats extend. (See attached Vicinity Map.) To help support the applicant’s case, many
other finger floats along this side of Harbor Island extend beyond the Pierhead Line for
unknown reasons. Therefore, his request would not be unusual in this part of the harbor.
The applicant is appealing the Harbor Manager’s denial which was solely based on
Council Policy H-1.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the Harbor Commission find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment)
and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of

TO: HARBOR COMMISSION
FROM: Chris Miller, Harbor Manager - 949-644-3043,
cmiller@newportbeachca.gov
TITLE: 2121 Bayside Drive – Revised Proposal
______________________________________________________________________
ABSTRACT:
At the May 2017 meeting, the Harbor Commission approved a dock reconfiguration
project at 2121 Bayside Drive. However, after the Harbor Commission’s approval, the
applicant clarified a misunderstanding with his contractor as to the desired slip length,
and requested the fingers be longer than originally approved to accommodate the
applicant’s vessel and to prevent damage from the swells near the harbor entrance.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve the revised proposal for the dock reconfiguration at 2121 Bayside Drive.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
There is no fiscal impact related to this item.
DISCUSSION:
The Harbor Commission’s previous approval in May 2017 allowed the applicant to
reconfigure his U-shaped float so that the approach into the slip is from the east rather
than the west. The permitted finger lengths were 75’ each. However, after the Harbor
Commission’s approval, the applicant clarified a misunderstanding with his contractor,
and is now requesting a minor variation to the previous approval for 90’ fingers. (See
Attachment B.)
Because the configuration is not drastically changing, and because the float is parallel to
the bulkhead and not encroaching any further out into the channel, staff supports this
request. There will still be ample space for ingress and egress for his slip and his
neighbors’.
Council Policy H-1 requires the Harbor Commission to review and approve permits in this
area.

Corona del Mar. California
We were thankful to have received approval from the Harbor Commission at the
May zotT meeting for the requested 70 x 30 dock slip at 212r Bayside Drive.
In relaying this approval to our client it was brought to our attention his concern
for the safety of the dock structure and vessel to be berthed at this location during
the weathered months. It appears there was a misunderstanding at the time of
our initial communications. Our original proposal of a7o x 3o dock slip was not
what Mr. Moshayedi initiallyhad in mind. He is in need of a larger slip to
accommodate the vessel intended to be berthed at this location.
During the weathered months the south swells, which have direct access to the
opening of the harbor, have created much damage to both dock and vessel in this
area of Newport Harbor. A means to alleviate any damage is to secure the vessel
through ropes in the center of the slip. This reduces the possibility of the vessel
rolling with the swells and hitting the dock. The idea is to suspend the vessel in
the middle of the dock.
Mr. Moshayedi has the intention to berth his boat at 2L2r Bayside Drive year
round and so is proposing to make the necessary changes to the existing dock to
accommodate the vessel through the harsh winter months.
The vessel to be berthed at this location is a 75 foot Jabberwocky motor boat. The
beam of this vessel measures zr.5 feet. Our client is requesting a slip size of 85 x
3o. This will allow the vessel to be securely anchored on all sides to alleviate any
damage to the structure and to the vessel during the weathered months.
Our design to accommodate these needs continues to allow for adequate space
between the neighboring docks. And allows for ample egress, ingress, and vessel
maneuvering for ztgT Bayside Drive.

TITLE: Harbor Commission 2017 Objectives: Review and Assign Committee
Members to the Commission’s Objectives.
______________________________________________________________________
ABSTRACT:
The Harbor Commission will briefly review the Harbor Commission Objectives, and will reassign
committee members as needed.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Review Harbor Commission 2017 Objectives, and reassign committee responsibilities as
needed.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
There is no fiscal impact related to this item.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the Harbor Commission find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in
a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3)
(the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code
of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to
the environment, directly or indirectly.
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the

ATTACHMENTS:
Attachment A – 2017 Harbor Commission Objectives
Newport Harbor Commission Objectives
(As Approved by the City Council on January 24, 2017)
Calendar Year 2017
(Updated Assignments May 10, 2017)
These objectives are intended to support the mission of the Harbor Area
Management Plan and the two most essential responsibilities of the
Harbor Commission: (1) ensuring the long‐term welfare of Newport
Harbor for all residential, recreational, and commercial users; (2)
promoting Newport Harbor as a preferred and welcoming destination for
visitors and residents alike.
These calendar year 2017 objectives are subject to the review and
approval of the Commission, and final approval by the Newport Beach
City Council. Harbor Commission subcommittees, as established by the
Commission, bear principal responsibility for coordinating the
Commission’s efforts with Harbor Resources Staff support in achieving
these objectives.
Ensuring the Long Term Welfare of Newport Harbor
1) Develop standard safety briefing materials and guidelines regarding
stand up paddleboards and other human powered craft to be distributed
to all public rental outlets in Newport Harbor for their required use in
informing all rental customers of the rules and best practices for safe
navigation in the harbor. The briefing materials will be reviewed by the
Commission before presentation to the City Council for its authorization
and any direction regarding the distribution and use of such materials.
(Kenney, Blank, Girling,)
2) Secure California Department of Recreation approval for an
amendment to the Harbor Code granting an exception to the harbor
speed limit for sanctioned sail racing and human powered racing events.
With such authorization recommend a Harbor Code amendment to the
City Council. (Blank, Drayton, West)
3) Establish a dialogue with representatives of the Harbor Charter Fleet
industry to promote best practices for charter boat operations in
Newport Harbor with particular attention to vessel specifications, noise
2
and pollution control compliance and long range plans for berthing.
(McIntosh, Drayton, Kenney)
4) Support Harbor Resources Division Staff’s presentation of public
information on the Regional General Permit 54 and related Newport
Harbor Eelgrass Protection and Mitigation Plan. Support Staff in
identifying any available means to streamline the permitting process for
applicants. (West, Girling, Kenney)
5) Continued support for Harbor Resources Division staff and the
Harbor Patrol in their efforts to identify and resolve the ongoing derelict
vessels in the harbor. (Cunningham, Drayton)
Promoting Newport Harbor as a Preferred and
Welcoming Destination
6) Complete the Commission’s evaluation of two seasonal trials of the
Turning Basin anchorage and develop a recommendation to the City
Council regarding same. Evaluate the public’s suggestion of establishing
day moorings off Big Corona beach. (West, Kenney, McIntosh)
7) Collaborate with City Staff in creating a principally web‐based update
of The Complete Cruising Guide to Newport Harbor, first published by the
Harbor Commission in 2010. (West, Cunningham)
8) Investigate the availability and sufficiency of public launch ramp
facilities in the harbor and report findings to the Commission. Present a
specific recommendation to the City Council, if appropriate. (Kenney,
Girling, Cunningham)

these visiting vessels a pro-rated mooring permit fee, and the Harbor Commission has questioned
whether a more proportionate fee would be appropriate.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Direct the ad hoc committee to return to the Harbor Commission with a recommended fee
program by the September 2017 meeting.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
There is no fiscal impact related to this item.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the Harbor Commission find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in
a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3)
(the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code
of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to
the environment, directly or indirectly.
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the
meeting at which the Harbor Commission considers the item).
