provided for through ISTEA funding program; and (b) Newport
Boulevard Rehabilitation from Bristol Street to 19th Street.
The Public Services Director explained that through the ISTE Act of
1991, the City is scheduled to receive funding for Newport
Boulevard rehabilitation. Verbal approval only has been received
from CALTRANS in providing the "local match" funding at this
point; however, the scheduling of dates are tight for the final
submission of the documents required by the State and Federal
government, so it is necessary to begin the design process now.
CALTRANS has approved the transfer of $600,000.00 to the City
to be used for design and construction. He recommended that
Council conceptually approve, the relinquishment of Newport
Boulevard from Bristol Street to 19th Street upon satisfactory
rehabilitation through the ISTEA program. The Public Services
Director recommended a modification to the contract, subject to the
City Attorney's approval, of a change from the staffs estimate of
$225,000,00 to $285,000.00.
The City Manager stressed that the funds -received for this project
can be used for pavement rehabilitation =only. The liability
connected with the acceptance of Newport.Bo- levard was discussed,
and it was determined that the City was obligated to accept the street
from the State once it was improved and in good condition.
John De Witt, 2000 Balearic Drive, Costa Mesa, had questions
regarding bike lanes and trails, drainage, curbs, tree wells, and
phased improvements incorporated in the design plans, to make it
possible for the City to add trees, and/or improvements, other than
pavement rehabilitation when economic conditions were favorable.
The City Manager mentioned that these elements could be taken up
in the Specific Plan.

something that he would like to see in the design phase, and he will
later make his concerns known to the Council.
