OLD BUSINESS The Deputy City Clerk presented from the meeting of Aviation Reuse of December 6, 1999, a resolution relating to aviation reuse of EI Toro and John EI Toro and continued operation of John Wayne Airport. An Wayne Airport Agenda Report was submitted by the City Manager's office dated December 20, 1999, summarizing the issues discussed at the meeting of December 6, 1999, and the proposal to incorporate Council Member Erickson's resolution into the resolution submitted by the Orange County Regional Airport Authority (OCRAA). 1 1 Council Member Erickson believed that the provisions incorporated into the proposed resolution would work better for the community. He recommended a modification on Page 4, Paragraph 7, last sentence of the resolution: "In no event will the airport at MCAS exceed the current restrictions in place at JWA.", deleting the words "capacity or". He also agreed with Mayor Pro Tem Cowan's suggestion to modify Line 3 of the resolution title by deleting the word "community -friendly" and replacing it with "restricted"; and adding the word "restricted" between the words "continued" and "commercial" on Line 4 of the resolution title. MOTION/To Adopt A motion was made by Council Member Erickson, seconded Resolution 99-82, by Council Member Somers, to adopt Resolution 99-82: A Supporting a RESOLUTION OF' THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF Restricted Com- COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING A RESTRICTED mercial Aviation COMMERCIAL AVIATION REUSE OF EL TORO AND Reuse of EI Toro CONTINUED RESTRICTED COMMERCIAL AIRPORT OPERATIONS AT JOHN WAYNE AIRPORT (JWA), including the modification made on Page 4, Paragraph 7, last sentence. Council Member Somers asked the maker of the motion if he would consider retaining "community -friendly" in the resolution title. Council Member Erickson stated that he likes the publicrelation aspect of "community -friendly" but felt that the word "restricted" was more appropriate. Council Member Dixon opposed any expansion of John Wayne Airport (JWA) or an increase in the number of passengers, or lifting the current curfews or flight restrictions. She believed that most of the focus has been on building another airport at EI Toro, instead of working towards making certain that curfews and flight restrictions stay in tact at JWA. She stated that Lindberg field. in San Diego cannot be expanded; therefore, discussions should be initiated with the Marine Corps regarding acreage at Camp Pendleton. She noted that neither the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) nor the- airlines have provided any documentation supporting an international airport at EI Toro, so there is no guarantee that it will be an international airport. She added that she is most con �erned about the level of development, and if the sacrifice of the quality of life justifies the demand for another airport;. and endorsement of an airport that is limited in size, and operations, and implies that it is possible under the current political, legal, and economic conditions. Council Member Dixon felt it would be misleading to overlook the minimum volume of flights, passengers, and cargo necessary to recover development and start-up costs including off-site infrastructure improvements,, and the current federal prohibition on local airport limitations. Substitute Motion A substitute motion was made by Council Member Dixon to To Oppose any oppose any expansion of John Wayne Airport, physical and Expansion of John operational, which might add more flights; to create a task Wayne Airport force and invite the cities of Newport Beach, Irvine, Santa Died Ana, and Tustin to partner with Costa Mesa by leaning on our congressional representatives to amend the federal law to provide local control and limitation of airport operations. The motion died for lack of a second. 416 Mayor Pro Tem Cowan supported the original motion and commented that an airport being described, as "community - friendly is misleading. She believed that air travel, cargo, etc. for both airports, is really only a subset of a much larger issue, which is the long-range development of the County. She stated that the community process of the EI Toro reuse was highjacked by Measure A in 1994, and communities in the County were unable to examine all options and have their concerns addressed.. She felt that this resolution is an important statement to make but will not make a difference in the process. Council Member Somers agreed that a partnership is needed with the surrounding cities to discuss airport issues. She was concerned about businesses that would be affected by an expansion of John Wayne Airport. The original motion carried 4-1, Council Member Dixon voting no. MOTION/Auth- A motion was made by Council Member Dixon, seconded by orized Formation Mayor Pro Tem Cowan, and carried '5-0, confirming that the of Task Force City of Costa Mesa is in absolute opposition to any expansion with Surrounding of John Wayne Airport,both physical and operational Cities expansion, which might add more flights, and that Council create a task force and invite the cities of Newport Beach, Irvine, Santa Ana, ;and Tustin, to partner with Costa Mesa to lean on our congressional representatives and the Orange County Board of Supervisors, to amend the federal laws to provide for local control limitations of airport operations.

The Development Services Director reviewed the Coast Metro Center Agenda Report dated December 14, 1999, and showed an overhead transparency illustrating the concept plan of the site. Robert Graham, 3260' Dakota Avenue, Costa Mesa, felt that the ramps are necessary to support development. At the request of Council Member Somers, the Development Services Director ,explained that the circulation system is based on the year ;2010, and that all the improvements need to be in place to accommodate the traffic from the build -out of Sakioka Farms and Town Center. He reported that without the Avenue of the:Art8 off -ramp, all future projects would be on hold for the next 10 years, except that Experian would be allowed to move -forward.

I. 1 1 NEW BUSINESS The Deputy City Clerk presented a resolution summarily Vacating Excess vacating excess right-of-way for construction of the Anton Right -of -Way for Boulevard on-ramp to the 1-405 northbound freeway as part Anton Boulevard of the Transitway Project. The Public Services Director Onramp reviewed the Agenda Report dated December 13, 1999, and asked that Council delete "contingency" from the re- commendation because staff has been working with all the property owners and developers to acquire the additional right-of-way that. is needed for the new location of the Anton on-ramp. He did not believe that all necessary right-of-way could be acquired by the end of the year; therefore, by placing a contingency on this vacation might create a problem for the negotiations that are currently in progress. George Sakioka, Sakioka Farms, 14850 Sunflower Avenue, Santa Ana, stated that Experian's project and negotiations should not be delayed. He pointed out on the overhead transparency additional excess property which he will be asking the City to vacate after their development agreement has been fully executed, and the. on-ramp and off -ramp properties are dedicated.

Bill Turpit, 1772 Kenwood Place, Costa Mesa, member of the Complete Count Committee, stated that the return of County, State, and federal funds to the residents of Costa Mesa depends on complete census data; and since 1970, the trend. in the United States indicates a decline in the response rate from residents. He urged Council to support the funding request. Eric Nelson, 29 Red Rock, Irvine, Human Relations Committee member, asked Council to approve the request.

He asked that The Home Depot personnel attend the next City. Council meeting or a meeting in the near future to discuss their course of action on this issue. Lynn Svensson, 4457 Boston Avenue, La Cresenta, Day Laborer Consultant for The Home Depot, reported that funds are going to be dedicated towards this issue. She stated that they are paying for two consultants and there will be a full time day, laborer specialist on-site at the Home Deport parking lot, to make sure that all potential day laborers and potential customers are directed to the Job Center location. Council Member Erickson asked if an on-site person dedicated solely to informing the public on the day laborers could be incorporated into The Home Depot's conditions of approval. The Development Services Director explained that a full reopening of the original permit would be required with notification to property owners within 300 feet; however, there is nothing precluding Council from having a simple letter agreement between the City and .The Home Depot.
