Chris Eric, 1825 Placentia Avenue, Costa Mesa, asked how the qualifications of the workers are judged, who pays for their insurance, who pays the State and Federal taxes, and who sets the fee scales for the various services, etc. He stated that there are legitimate businesses for contractors providing the same service who check for qualifications, pay taxes, and guarantee their work and the work of their employees.

Second reading and adoption are scheduled for the meeting of March 4, 2002. OLD BUSINESS The Deputy City Clerk presented from the meeting of June 18, Fairview Park Master 2001, public access, interpretative and habitat restoration design in Plan Planning Areas A, C, and D as provided for in the Fairview Park Master Plan. The Parks Project Manager summarized the Agenda Report dated February 11, 2002, and responded to questions from Council. Council Member Cowan suggested that Option 1 could be modified during the design element stage, by directing staff and the contractor to conduct a public workshop to discuss design options, including alternative design size and a "no -build" option on the parking lot. Robert Graham, 3260 Dakota Avenue, Costa Mesa, felt that additional community input was "passing the buck", and supported the current plan for Fairview Park. He commented that access to the park is a crucial issue which is really not open to debate, noting that many opportunities for improvements over the years have been missed. Sandra Genis, 1586 Myrtlewood Street, Costa Mesa, supported Option 1, specifically, access for persons who are less able bodied. She suggested talking to the Orange County Flood Control District and water quality entities regarding naturalizing the creek in the park. Martin Millard, 2973 Harbor Boulevard, No. 264, Costa Mesa, thought that the public should be allowed additional input on access and design. He stated that the park is in its natural state as it is now. Russ Niewiarowski, 20102 Kline Drive, Santa Ana Heights, thought that planning a park is more difficult than anticipated, and questioned the ability of the City of Irvine to develop the "Great Park". MOTION/Approved A motion was made by Council Member Cowan, seconded by Option 1 Mayor Dixon, to approve Option 1, approving two public workshops to be held during the design element stage, approximately July and August, 2002, during which the design options for the parking lot shall be discussed; as well as an alternative design, size, a "no build" option, whether or not the parking lot can be eliminated in terms of access, and that the parking lot does not necessarily have to be a concrete or asphalt lot. Mayor Pro Tem Monahan supported Option 1 but thought that the design work would not be complete enough for public forums to be successful, and thought that the public hearing process would provide an opportunity for the public to speak. SUBSTITUTE A substitute motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Monahan to MOTION/To Approve approve Option 1, instructing the consultant to provide other Option 1 Died alternatives on the trail design, access design, and the parking lot. The substitute motion died for lack of a second. The original motion carried 4-1, Mayor Pro Tem Monahan voting no. 226 OLD BUSINESS The Deputy City Clerk presented from the meeting of February 4, Parking of Oversized 2002, an ordinance regarding the parking of oversized and Vehicles nonmotorized vehicles in residential districts; and a resolution amending the bail schedule for violations of Title 10 of the Municipal Code. Communications were received from David Goss, 2021 Kornat Drive, Costa Mesa, opposing the placard system unless a method can be devised to obtain them without making a trip to the Police station; Ms. Motta, 2700 Cliff Drive, Newport Beach, reporting dangerous situations at intersections on the west side of Santa Ana Avenue between East 17th and Ogle Streets because of large RV's and ;trucks obstructing the vision of motorists; Bob Michna, 104' Danbury Lane, Costa Mesa, supporting the ordinance because of safety issues; and Barbara Marcks, Post Office Box 10704, Costa Mesa, opposing the ordinance. The Police Lieutenant reviewed the Agenda Report dated February 11, 2002. He and the Sr. Deputy City Attorney responded to questions from Council. Sandra Genis, 1586 Myrtlewood Street, Costa Mesa, expressed concern regarding 'electrical cords which extend from a vehicle across the sidewalk while an RV battery is being recharged. The Police Lieutenant hoped that a solution such as duct tape would be used on the cords to protect the ;public. Russ Niewiarowski, '20102 Kline Drive, Santa Ana Heights, supported the ordinance, indicating his lack of sympathy for RV owners. He reported that his neighbor owns such a vehicle and refuses to park it to the rear of his property, despite the access. He commented that the community should not be inconvenienced to please three percent of the population. The following Costa' Mesa residents opposed adoption of the ordinance: Steve Marx, 3174 Madeira Avenue, felt that he is being penalized for owning a motorhome; Oran Marksbury, 2273 Colgate Drive, reported on 'his survey of RV storage facilities; Cassandra Frizell, no address given, opined that the City is making laws to further restrict the freedom of residents; Bill Folsom, 2700 Peterson Place, No. 45C, Costa Mesa, reported on a meeting between himself, Mayor Dixon, and the Police Lieutenant, and corrected his previous statement that an RV is the only vehicle in his household; Vicky Moore, Costa Mesa resident, clarified that the registration must be in her name in order to obtain a permit to park her RV on the street; David Goss, 2021 Kornat Drive, Costa Mesa, thought that the numbers in the proposed ordinance are confusing, and addressed sections which he considered not clear; Simon Horton, 1634 Baker Street, Costa Mesa, asked for clarification of Section 11(d), and complained that Section 13(g) is unclear, requesting that the section be rewritten; Sandy Ward, 371 Walnut Street, Costa Mesa, objected to the permit system; Mrs. G. E. Buck, 1890 Parkcrest Drive, Costa Mesa, thought that she qualified as a "hardship" case in order to pay for a storage area, and proposed forming a committee to resolve the RV issues; a Costa Mesa resident, felt that there is a lack of information regarding motorhome complaints; Lou Lelea, 2395 Westminster Avenue, Costa Mesa, felt that the ordinance discriminates against RV owners; and a Costa Mesa resident, objected to the permit process. The City Manager responded to a question from Mr. Goss by stating that the ordinance will be posted on the City's website, and this will be accomplished within one week. Gayle Lackey, 917 Coronado Drive, Costa Mesa, objected to the 72 -hour limit between issuance of permits for RV parking. The Police Lieutenant clarified that the 72 -hour limit pertains to the time between "round trips. Mayor Dixon clarified that Section 12(a) does not apply to recreation vehicles, and Section 13(g), 48 RV parking permits refers to a maximum of 24 round trips, not 3 per month. Beth Refakes, 320 Magnolia Street, Costa Mesa, supported the ordinance, stating that too much focus is placed on RV's, noting the number of trucks and commercial vehicles parked throughout the City. She thought that the ordinance would alleviate problems concerning Newport Beach residents parking their RV's in Costa Mesa. Mayor Pro Tem Monahan opposed the ordinance, commenting that it is not objective nor simple, suggesting that it should punish abusers, not users, address the affected parties' concerns, eliminate the red tape, and should not overburden the Police Department. He asked that the ordinance be simplified and modified to be more sensitive and friendly to responsible RV owners. Council Member Robinson clarified that whether the issue was raised by Council or within the community, there is a concern regarding recreational vehicles. She commented on the number of telephone calls she has received from RV owners, and several non -owners who do not want these vehicles on the road at all. She stated that because they are not in attendance at the meeting does not mean that they have not supplied Council with their opinions. She expressed concern regarding the ordinance as proposed, and felt that prior to adoption, the issue should be clarified as to whether two permits are required for an RV towing a boat. She also asked for clarification of Section 12(a), Section 10-221.6, "residential or guest parking is needed for a valid purpose..."; Section 13(g), Section 10-221.7, determine whether to use the term "permits" meaning round trip permits or to use "round trips". She asked that the issue of a placard displaying the permit, Section 11(d), should be addressed, as well as conversion to an automated process. Mayor Dixon stated that, to her understanding, the City is not currently set up for an automated system, and thought5 that Council is attempting to be sensitive to the wants and needs of the RV owners and homeowners. Council Member Steel stated that the ordinance will enhance property values and reduce potential accidents. He opposed restrictions on the number of trips, suggesting that it be increased from 24 to 36 per year, and supported formation of a committee. He recommended self -policing by the RV owners, and encouraged staff to investigate additional RV storage within the City. MOTION/Gave A motion was made by Mayor Dixon, seconded by Council First Reading to Member Cowan, to give first reading to Ordinance 02-3: AN Ordinance 02-3 ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, REPEALING AND REPLACING SECTION 10-185 OF THE COSTA MESA MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING THE PARKING OF OVERSIZED AND NONMOTORIZED VEHICLES THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND REPEAL AND REPLACEMENT OF OTHER AFFECTED SECTIONS OF THE COSTA MESA MUNICIPAL CODE, modifying Page 4, Section 7(b) to read, "Except as expressly provided for herein, RV parking permits, RV residential identification permits or RV visitor parking permits shall be issued only to residents of the City.", deleting the balance of the sentence; asking staff to clarify Section 12(a) (Page 6); deleting Subsection (1) of Section 12(b) (Page 6); asking staff to define in Section 13 (g) (Page 7), 60 single trips, or 30 round trips, clarifying that RV parking permits will be issued for a period of time not to exceed 48 hours,, with a maximum of 3 round trips per month; to clarify, that only one permit is required to tow a trailer/boat; and to revisit the ordinance in November, 2002. Council Member Cowan commented that those RV owners who abide by the current; laws will not have a problem with the new ordinance. She felt that the ordinance is a step in the right direction, stating that Costa Mesa is interested in encouraging those who store their RV's on City streets to relocate their vehicles. Council Member Robinson preferred to see the changes prior to approving the first reading. Mayor Dixon explained that in her conversations with -RV owners, ,she has ascertained that 72 hours is an unnecessarily long period of time to prepare for a trip. The motion carried 3-2, Council Members Monahan and Steel voting no. RECESS The Mayor declared -a recess at 8:40 p.m., and reconvened the meeting at 8:50 p.m. NEW BUSINESS The Deputy City Clerk presented a resolution requesting the Board JWA Settlement of Supervisors to approve extension of the John Wayne Airport Agreement Settlement Agreement. A communication was received from Dianne Russell, 1110 Sandi Lane, Costa Mesa, supporting the resolution. The City; Manager summarized the Agenda Report dated February 12, 2002. Council Member Steel stated that he is against expansion of JWA, in favor of an airport at EI Toro, and against Measure W. He questioned voting on this issue- prior to the March, 2002, primary, and proposed a continuance. The City Manager replied that he believed that the City'Council desired to forward their opinion to the County Board of Supervisors prior to the Board's discu"ssing the issue at their meeting of February 26, 2002. In response to a question from Mayor Pro Tem Monahan, the City Manager explained that if there is no negotiated extension of the existing Settlement Agreement for JWA, then at the end of the year 2005, the current restrictions relative to the number of departures, annual passenger limit, cargo flights, etc., except the curfew which is regulated by a County ordinance, "go away." Heather Somers, 313 Robin Hood Lane, Costa Mesa, commented that the alternatives in the resolution are not in compliance with the regional transportation plan for the entire Southern California area. She reported that the, Board of Supervisors meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 26, 2002, 0:30 a.m., but it is not guaranteed that the Agreement will be on the agenda. She agreed with Council Member Steel, that a vote should be postponed until after the March 5, 2002, election. Russ Niewiarowski, 20102 Kline Drive, Santa Ana Heights, provided a letter from the Santa Ana Heights Project Advisory Committee regarding a response to draft EIR No. 582, commenting that they received a' "cold shoulder' from Newport Beach after receipt of the letter. He suggested that EI Toro is the solution to the economic growth 'required in Orange County, with construction of a reasonable airport which impacts virtually no one with the right plan. He discussed the environmental impact report, pointing out that there are many inconsistencies. 1 1 2>9 A Santa Ana Heights resident, member of the Project Advisory Committee, defined his "mission" to ascertain the errors and the incompleteness of EIR No. 582. He referred to material which he submitted to the City, noting that it does not cover all that is wrong with the E.I.R. Mayor Pro Tem Monahan supported Scenario 1, stating that it may be the best that we can do at this time. He objected to waiting for the County to take action, preferring to trust the City Manager's opinion. MOTION/Adopted A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Monahan, seconded by Resolution 02-14 Council Member Robinson, to adopt Resolution 02-14: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, REQUESTING BOARD OF SUPERVISORS a APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE JOHN WAYNE AIRPORT SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT CONSISTENT WITH SCENARIO 1 IN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (EIR) 582. Council Member Steel did not see the need to make this decision prior to the March primary. SUBSTITUTE A substitute motion was made by Council Member Steel to MOTION/To Con- continue this item until after the March 5, 2002, primary. The tinue Died substitute motion died for lack of a second. Mayor Pro Tem Monahan encouraged the continued push for an airport at EI Toro, stating that this measure will protect the City while moving forward with a long-term solution. Mayor Dixon felt that it is important to advise the Supervisors that it is unacceptable to have an increase in flights or passengers at JWA. She supported retaining the current restrictions, allowing the Supervisors the negotiation tools to ensure that an unreasonable expansion is not allowed at the airport. Council Member Cowan did not believe that the primary vote on Measure W would change the City's position on JWA or the Settlement Agreement. She thought that no matter what the outcome of the vote on Measure W, the City still needs to take a position on the JWA Settlement Agreement, and felt that the resolution clearly stated the City's preferences. The original motion carried 4-1, Council Member Steel voting no. NEW BUSINESS The Deputy City Clerk presented the allocation of fiscal year 2001 2001 General Fund General Fund Net Revenue. A communication was received from Net Revenue Eric Bever, 1046 Westward Way, Costa Mesa, opposing the use of $500,000.00 in City revenues for after-school programs which include church -based organizations. The Finance Director summarized the Agenda Report dated February 12, 2001, and responded to questions from Council. Council Member Cowan endorsed Costa Mesa's supporting programming that benefits the quality of life for children, and suggested establishing a long-term grant fund. The City Manager addressed a question from Mayor Pro Tem Monahan regarding the above by stating that Council may allocate the remaining revenue balance at any time, and Community Objective FY03, Costa Mesa Cares long-term grant fund, specifies allocation of $500,000.00 from the Gas Tax Settlement Fund. Council Member Robinson objected to connecting an objective to a settlement which is pending, and suggested revisiting Costa Mesa Cares after the settlement is ensured. The City Manager concurred with Council Member Cowan and Mayor Pro Tem Monahan that the $500,000.00 does not need to be appropriated at this time. Mayor Pro Tem Monahan asked that consideration be given to rehabilitating the next 10 residential streets (15 having already been completed). The Public Services Director indicated that he will have this item on the March 4, 2002, agenda. Council Member Cowan listed the members of Costa Mesa Cares as the Newport -Mesa Unified School District, Jane Garland, the Director of Project Success, the City of Costa Mesa, the YMCA, Think Together, and the Costa Mesa Boys and Girls Club. Council Member Steel expressed concern regarding the special projects net revenue regarding Costa Mesa Cares and the Orange County Human Relations Commission funding request ($3,700.00 estimated, based on population), suggesting that Costa Mesa Cares be funded through the private sector. He did not understand the need for the City to join the Human Relations Commission, since the City ha's ;a Human Relations Committee. Council Member Robinson replied that she initiated a community objective which proposes that the City's Committee work with the Orange County Human Relations Commission to address the City's growing loitering problem. Council Member Cowan indicated her support for the County's Commission, and listed the benefits. Tom Egan, 1893 Parkview Circle, Costa Mesa, objected to the City spending $3,600,000:00 without a public hearing, and suggested delaying a decision, until public input could be heard. He addressed the division of church and state, objecting to the City assisting the YMCA, and proposed restricting after-school collaboration to nonprofit, nonreligious organizations. Martin Millard, 2973 Harbor boulevard, No. 264, Costa Mesa, concurred with Mr. Egan, and, asked to be informed of all the participants in Costa Mesa Cares. He thought joining the Orange County Human Relations Committee would be a mistake. Mr. Millard opposed FY03 Community Objective — Shopping Cart Removal Services to be funded only if we do not get full cooperation/funding from stores for the program ($20,000.00), stating that it should be a "cost of business" for the stores. Katrina Foley, 2778 Lorenzo Avenue, Costa Mesa, supported the "Warranted Crossing, Guard for rear entrance to Davis School ($4,500.00)", and urged approval of the Orange County Human Relations item. Allan Mansoor, 2973, Harbor Boulevard, No. 406, Costa Mesa, commented on providing monies to organizations such as Costa Mesa Cares and the Human Relations Commission, asking what these groups will do and where the money will be directed. He felt that children should be the parent's focus, and City money should be used for City projects. MOTION/Approved A motion was made ',by Mayor, Pro Tem Monahan, seconded by Allocations Mayor Dixon, and carried 4-1, Council Member Steel voting no, to approve the 50 percent CIP Net Revenue ($1,643,000.00 recommended allocation) Nos.' 1 through 4 on Page 4 of the Agenda Report; and the 15 percent Special Projects Net Revenue ($543,200.00), Nos. 1','2, 4, and 5. 231 MOTION/Gave A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Monahan, seconded by Directions to Staff Council Member Cowan, and carried 5-0, directing staff to address at the meeting of March 4, 2002, repair of the next ten residential streets and replacement of missing links in the City's sidewalks.
