It is recommended that repairs and improvements ct a cost of
pproximately $600 be made to the public restrooms at Washington and
East Bay Ave.
DISCUSSION:
A committee, chaired by Councilman Somers and including repre•-
sentatives of the City and of the Balboa Improvement Association, bn>
reviewed alternatives ranging from demolition of the present structure
through repairs to complete replacement,
The committee has concluded that the building should receive
minimum repairs and improvements which, in the op.nion of the Euilding
Department, are necessary for safety, sanitation and appearance.
Such work involvas repair of interior plaster.l.ng, repainting of
entire interior, sand blasting and repainting of exterior, and other wieao;
repairs.
This work can be done promptly and will make the building su A:-
able for the summer season.
The committee believes that alternatives proposed for the uce
of the property on which the restrooms are located and for meezIn
room needs in the area are such that the City should not at this t.We
:rake a major expenditure for reconstruction of the existing build ".ng.

Dear Bob:
Regarding our discussion yesterday on the public rostrooms at
Washington and Bay, Balboa;
After visiting the above location with Mr. }.forte Grimes, Mr.
Hill and I concur with the thinking of the Balboa Improve-
ment Association that repairs should be made immediately to
these public restrooms.
Mr. Grimes expressed the view, that the Association would
like to have temporary repairs mado to this structure to
last through September of this year. After this sur;.mer
season, the Association will then make a study of this lo-
cation to dctcrLAno its future use.
Trusting that you will give the above your prompt attention,
we are,
Cordiald'y,
Jack Barnett
Secretary— Manager

Pursuant to our conversations with Mr. Robert Shelton,
City Manager, regarding the demolishing of the restrooms >>.
on the corner of Washington Street and Bay Avenue in
Balboa, the Balboa Improvement Association held an
emergency meeting this morning with all members of the
Board of Directors present.
�} t
f
We fully realize that the restrooms are in a deplorable
condition. However, these restrooms should have been
maintained and kept up to code by the City of Newport
Beach. We further realize that the city should not
condemn other properties in town when city -owned property
is in such a run -down condition.
What alarms the merchants and Apartment House Owners of
Balboa is that this matter should be brought up now at
the beginning of the summer season and when thousands
of vaoationers are coming into the Balboa area.
The restrooms by the Pier are fine, but the Association
wants to make it clear that these were paid for out of
the Balboa Parking Lot fund. If this Pier restroom
building is the only public restroom left in the area it would
be inadequate for the needs of this community.
The Balboa Improvement Association respectfully request
that the present restrooms in question be repaired and
maintained through this summer season. Then, in the fall,
an equitable plan be worked out whereby, if the present
building is torn down, a modern restroom built to code
be constructed on this property or some other suitable location
in a parking district to be established at that time.

Respectfully, /
