Purpose
•
The City Council recognizes that the City's ability to deliver quality municipal services is
dependent on adequate tax revenues derived primarily from the properties and
businesses located within the City. Healthy, thriving businesses not only increase
property, sales and bed taxes, but they also provide employment opportunities that
support local businesses and the strong residential property values that Newport Beach
enjoys. The City Council seeks to promote economic prosperity and growth within the
City to maintain and enhance a healthy economy, provide revenues for high quality
municipal services, and infrastructure maintenance and improvements, and preserve the
unique commercial villages in Newport Beach. All of these objectives serve the
overriding purpose of protecting the quality of life of Newport Beach residents, and the
City Council recognizes the need to balance economic development objectives with
protection of the environment and the health and safety of the community.
Policy Implementation
The City Manager shall provide an effective and efficient structure for implementing
economic programs, utilizing staffing or consulting services in support of annual key
directives from the City Council.
