He also discussed the reasons for sunsetting the Volume 60 - Page 83 City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes March 8, 2011 Economic Development Committee (EDC). Mayor Henn noted that the Environmental Quality Affairs Committee (EQAC) initially only commented on Notices of Preparations (NOPs) and not Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs). He believed that the Water Taxi Committee duties could become one of the Tidelands Management Committee's duties with support from the Harbor Commission. Council Member Hill stated that the Water Taxi Committees duties might also be done by the Mariners Mile group as it deals with revitalization of that area. He noted that he was one of the founders of EDC and supported what they did; however, it is now a different environment of limited resources and limited time for staff, Council and the public. He stated that it is appropriate to look at reorganization that maximizes limiWa resources in order to achieve maximum benefit to the community. He believed that —the Neighborhood Revitalization Committee can be augmented by including homeowneAa ations, Business Improvement Districts (BIDs), and stakeholders. rl/ Mayor Henn concurred that revitalization broadens public input an that the City has a new view of how it fulfills its economic development role. h In response to Council Member Daigle's que"etiori'regarding border committees, City Manager Kiff indicated that it is the intent that the `Finance Committee would work on these issues and then the full Council would become involve&& Regarding EQAC, City Manageriff `'K're 'reported that he\ received an email from Arleen Greer, EQAC Chair, who is supportive�of EQAC meeting as needed and having more focused direction. \� Tim Storks, EQAC member, e \ V QA��%%�� xpressedls\,pp�ort fo�eting�on an as-needed basis.

Jim Mosher believed' that the recommendation stifles citizen input and circumvents the Brown�Act. FIe 4uestioned sunsetting the Media and Communications Committee and recommendedOamend(n g the duties and membership composition of the Aviation Committee. Mayor Henn emphasized that the intent of conducting committee reorganizations was to match Council committee involvement with 2011 Council goals. One of the principal goals was related to John. Wayne.Airport (JWA) „so the Aviation Committee will be heavily involved as it relates to the Settlement Agreement. He believed that appointments to the Aviation Committee should be deferred until its mission and purpose can be revised. He also noted the amendments to the resolution as discussed earlier by City Manager Kiff. He stated that the recommendation, as amended, would establish the Tidelands Management Committee and the Neighborhood Revitalization Committee, and designates the Finance Committee to have purview over retirement cost containment and staff reorganization issues. He discussed his recommended appointments but stated that Council Member Daigle has also been very 'involved in bay issues and lobbying efforts, and expressed the view, as supported by Council Volume 60 - Page 84 City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes March 8, 2011 consensus, that she continues in that role on an as- needed basis even though not appointed to the Tidelands Management Committee.
