City Manager The City Manager read a letter addressed to the Honor - IL -signs able Mayor and Council: "It is with regret that I infom you of my intention to teminate my employment as City Manager with the City of Costa Mesa, effective October 25, 1985. "My tenure with this outstanding community has been very rewarding for my family and me. Little did I know, back in September 1968, that eventually I would become City Manager of this dynamic City. I hope that I have been able to provide the leadership necessary to paral- lel Costa Mesa's growth. "As'we all know, there canes a time when change is necessary. I feel that now is that time for Costa Mesa. I feel that I have accomplished all of my personal goals and those of the City Council in the last 15 years as City Manager. Having accomplished these goals, I feel that I want to do and accomplish sanething different in my life. During 1986, it will be my honor, if elected, to serve E1 Bekal Shrine Temple as its Potentate. This position will be more than a full-time position if I am to serve the 4,700 Nobles of El Bekal Temple in an adequate manner. It is not right nor fair to take that time away from the City of Costa Mesa; thus I have decided to make a career change. After my tenure in office as Potentate, I will seek employment in another field, utilizing the skills I have been able to practice in Costa Mesa. "I want to' thank the first City Council I worked with for putting their trust and confidence in me and to the other members of the City Council since then. Many fine, dedicated men and women have served on these Councils. To you, the present City Council, I want to express my personal thanks and wish you well in recruit- ing for a new City Manager. The challenge is there, and I know you will not fail yourselves or the community. The time line should be sufficient to have the new person hired prior to my leaving. "To all my Departnent Managers, I want to thank each of you for an outstanding job and dedication to public service. It is my opinion that we have the finest group of Managers in California. "Last but not least, thanks to the more than 550 employ- ees who always do an outstanding job for the community and who have made my work easier by adapting to the changes necessary for the organization to meet the needs of all the residents of Costa Mesa. You really are the life blood of this City. Keep up the good work. "Again, thank you, Council, for all the opportunities." Mayor Hertzog accepted his resignation with regret. The City Manager stated that the next item for consider- ation should be the—employment of Ralph Andersen and Associates, 1446 Ethan Way, Suite 101, Sacramento, for executive recruitment assistance.

No communications have been rece ived. The Director of Development Services gave a slide presentation of the site and the surrounding area. He stated that the Planning Commission, at their meeting of April 22, 1985, approved PA -85-66, based on the findings that it is an appropriate use within the area, will not be detrimental to surrounding.properties, and is an improvement over the present conditions at the site; and subject to the conditions contained in the Staff Report with Condition Nos. 2, 5, and 7 modified, and the addi- tion of Condition No. 30. Staff recommended denial because the evidence presented does not satisfy Costa Mesa Municipal Code Section 13-347 as the display and sale of vehicles will over -utilize the site, is not compatible with existing and proposed uses along Bristol Street and, therefore, would be materially detrimental to the subject site and surrounding properties. After the Planning Commission meeting, staff was con- tacted by Jack Hammet, Administrator of the Bristol Park Medical Center, 722 Baker Street, Costa Mesa, who opposes the project. Devon Belding, 4920 Campus Drive, Newport Beach, stated that there would be no broadcasting over a public add- ress system and no servicing of cars on the site. It would be used strictly for the sale of used cars not over one year old. The site would be landscaped and the existing building refurbished. She also stated that this site would be used only for the interim time until a larger development is proposed for the site. She gave a slide presentation of the site and the surrounding area.

He commented that staff members who prepare Staff Ieports should be present to answer questions. There being no other speakers, the Mayor closed the public hearing.

The motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Hornbuckle.
