HUSTON, CITY PiANAGER COHHUNI~ DEVELOPHENT DEPARTHENT STATUS REPORT: JOHN WAYNE AIRPORT NOISE MONITORING PROGRAH (JWA), AIRPORT SITE COALITION (ASC), COALITION FOR A RESPONSIBLE AIRPORT SOLUTION (CRAS) AND HELICOPTER OVERFLIGHTS TASK FORCE ( HOTF 1 RECOII~ENDATION Receive and file. DISCUSSION i Ill JWA - There is no new information regarding the noise monitoring program. Staff have completed their review of the first staff report for the Phase 2 Access Plan and will be sendinglits comments to the County shortly. A copy of our responses will be made available to the City Council upon their completion. Staff will attend the Airport Commission meeting on February 15, 1989. It would be appropriate for the Council to select a member to attend this meeting to lend further support to the City's concerns. Staff has checked regularly with the FAA regarding the publishing date of their report on air traffic controls for JWA. We have been told to expect publication in the Federal Register (published daily) in early February. We will inform the Council of the actual publish date. The City will have 45 'days tO review and comment on the plan from the publish date. The City of Newport Beach has filed a 41 page appeal with the Orange County Environmental Management Agency (EMA) regarding their determination that the "JWA Monorail" will have no significant impact on the environment. Attached to this report is an executive summary of this appeal and a fact sheet by McDonnell Douglas about the monorail (Attachment I). No lawsuits have been filed to date. Briefly, the "JWA Monorail" is a proposal by the McDonnell Douglas Corporation to construct a privately funded monorail system linking JWA with one of their office projects. As proposed, the monorail system would have 'the capacity to be expanded to serve other nearby office projects. The City of Newport Beach believes that the County's environmental analysis does not take into consideration the growth inducing impacts related to the project, and is therefore seeking a full environmental impact report, or in lieu thereof, the. implementation of binding, enforceable mitigation measures as they would relate to the growth inducing impacts of the project. City Council Report JWA Status Report February 6, 1989 Pa ge two ASC - The January nmeting Was cancelled. The next nmeting will be held at 8'30 a.-'-~, on Saturday, February 25, 1989 at the Flour Daniel facilfties located at 3333 Michelson in Irvine. CRAS - Staff attended the Board of Directors nmeting held on Monday, January 23, 198~ at Leisure World in E1 Toro. Attached to this report is a summary of the discussion that occured as well as copies of the agenda materials (Attachnent II). The next Board meting will be held on Monday, February 27, 1989. Councllnmn Kelly was unable to attend the January 23rd Board Meting and was therefore not appointed to the Board. Because fornml elections to the Board will be held at the annual nmeting in March, Councilnmn Kelly ~ be appointed at the February 27th nmeting; however, his term would be for one (1) month unless he is nominated for formal election to the Board. Had he been appointed on January 23rd, his nomination for forn~l election to the Board Would have been more of a fornmlity. However, CRAS has infornmd staff that they are still very interested in having a nmmber of the Tustin City Council sit on the Board of Directors. HOTF - Discussion at the nmeting held on January 25, 1989, focused on areas of l~F~Tne that currently and will experience the greatest impacts from helicopter overflights (baselId upon curren---'~ and proposed land uses), and potential solutions to the problem; discussion of potential solutions involved identifying possible route relocations as well as new routes. In this regard, the majority of potential solutions discussed concentrated on the south and east portions of the City of Irvine. However, one potential alternate route to the -"Irvine Corridor", which brings helicopters into MCAS Tustin from MCAS E1 Toro, is the "Reservoir Route" which would loop up into the northern parts of Irvine and its sphere of influence and bring inbound helicopters into the Browning Corridor in the northern areas of East Tustin, well north of Irvine Boulevard, resulting in additional overflights of those residential areas (beyond norml Browning Corridor traffic). Any proposals to tmplenmnt the "Reservoir Route" should be protested by the City. A copy of the agenda materials for· the January 25th meeting is attached (Attachment III ). Additional Information - On Thursday, January 26, 1989, the Los Angeles Times and Orange'lll~oun'~;Y Register ran articles about proposed legislation to form a four (4) County Agency or joint powers authority to build and operate a new international airport somewhere 'in Southern California, possibly at Camp Pendleton. Senator Marian Bergeson (Newport Beach) and Assemblyn~n Ross Johnson (La Habra) will co-author a bill with Assemblyman Steve Peace (La Mesa) to allow Orange, San Diego, Riverside and Imperial Counties to join in a special regional agency to build the airport. The bill is yet to be introduced, and according to Corn rnuni~y Developrnen~ Oepar~rnen~ Ci.ty Council Report JWA Status Report February 6, 1989 Page three Senator Bergeson's office, the articles were "premature, contained much misinformation and were probably released by Assemblyman Peace's office.".

LONG CONCERNED WITH UNCHECKED AND UNBRIDLED EXPANSION OF JOHN WAYNE AIRPORT, THE CITY ACHEIVED A HARD FOUGHT COMPROMISE WITH THE COUNTY TO LIMIT THE NUMBER OF FLIGHTS AND PASSENGERS AND THE SIZE AND CAPACITY OF THE TERMINAL. THE MONORAIL THREATENS TO UNDO THIS COMPROMISE BY CREATING A'DEFACTO EXPANSION OF THE PASSENGER TERMINAL TO THE OTHER SIDE OF MACARTHUR BOULEVARD. THE'MONORAIL HAS THE POTENTIAL OF TURNING THE ENTIRE IRVINE~ BUSINESS CENTER INTO AN EASILY ACCESSIBLE ANNEX OF THE JOHN WAYNE AIRPORT'TERMINAL.- SUCH EXPANSION POTENTIAL.AND"ACCOMPANYING GROWTH INDUCING ASPECTS REQUIRE, UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT, THE FULL REVIEW OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT UNLESS SUFFICIENT MITIGATION MEASURES AND OTHER CONTROLLING MECH- ANISMS ARE IRREVOCABLY EMPLOYED. FOR THIS REASON, THE CITY HAS TODAY SUBMITTED AN APPEAL OF THE COUNTY"S DECLARATION OF NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT FOR THIS PROJECT. THE CITY SHALL SEEK A FULL EIR OR IN LIEU THEREOF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF BINDING AND ENFORCEABLE MITIGATION MEASURES AND/OR CONTROL MECHANISMS TO AVOID THE GROWTH INDUCING ASPECTS OF THE PROJECT. ATTACHMENT' I MCDONN). . DOUGI_AS RF_AL TY COMPANY 11~11 YoN Karman A~enue, Sulfe 1200, IMne, CA 12715 (T?4) 133.2154 FACTS ABOUT THE JOHN WAYNE AIRPORT _ MCDONNELL DOUGLAS MONORAIL PROJECT [] The monorail will be owned, maintained and operated by McDonnell Douglas Realty C~mpany. [] John Wayne Airport wi~l become the nation ts first airport to be served by such a monorail system. [] The initial monorail link will be a half-mile long. · T.he estimated cost of the project is $3 million, which Will be provided entirely by McDonnell Douglas. Retrofitting the airport to include a monorail after the terminal expansion is completed would cosM man~ t£mes more than the current estimated costs. [] No public funds will go toward constructing, operating or maintaining the monorail. .. I The monora'il will be built to Federal standards by The Transportation Group, Inc., (TGI), a subsidiary of Bombardier, Inc., North Americats largest manufacturer of a full range of fixed guideway transit technologies. Some of the best known Bombardier projects are the monorails at Disney World in Florida, the new trains of the New York City subway system and the widely acclaimed Portland light rail system. . I~ The monorail system will feature a three-car, electrically propelled train with a passenger capacity of 100-per trip. The monorail.would complete.one round trip every four minutes. [] The monorail will travel f~$m the new airport terminal, currently under construction, to twin 23-story office towers to be built by McDonnell Douglas Realty Company at Douglas Plaza, at MacArthur Boulevard and Douglas Street in the Irvine Business Complex. [] The monorailts initial link will serve all of Douglas Plaza, which will consist of nine office buildings in excess of 1.5 million square feet, the Registry Hotel with more than 300 rooms, and more than 400 residential condominiums · , A SUB~IOIAWY Olr A//~f.~~ MCDONNELL DOUGL · The monorail will move back and forth on a single elevated rail. It will reach its maximum height of about 20 feet as it crosses over MacArthur Boulevard. McDonnell Douglas believes that building the monorail is an excellent opportunity to begin finding creative solutions to Orange County's serious traffic problems. · In addition to the positive impact on traffic, the quiet, electrically propelled moP,rail will contribute to a reduction in air and noise pollution. The initial link was designed to allow and encourage future extensions by other private or public sector interests to serve neighboring business districts or tie into future major systems serving other parts of Orange County. "~. ~ The monorail project will not disrupt progress on, the airport terminal building and parking structure. If for. any reason the monorail is delayed, it will not delay the airport construction. ._ To ensure timely completion of the airport project, McDonnell Douglas is willing to fund the estimated $300,000 needed to build required foundations for the monorail on the airport site. ', The monorail track and foundation will be separate from the southeast parking structure. As the monorail approaches the drop-off point at the terminal, it will pass over a central parking area with below-grade parking. Common foundations and common supports will be used to minimize structural interference w~thin this central parking area. At the southern portion of the route.the monorail supports will again be independent of any airport structures and will be located so as not to interfere with airport roadways or the MacArthur Boulevard right-of-way. Th'e monorail has been designed in conjunction with construction of'the southeast parking structure. 77 COALITION FOR A RESPONSIBLE AIRPORT SOLUTIO~ (CRAS) Informal Board Meeting Notes January 23, 1989 .. Notes follow the informational only. staff. attached meeting Agenda, and are' Formal minutes were taken by Board Agenda Item 1. The minutes of the 12-f9-88 meeting (see'Attachment #1) were approved. Various cities, including Tustin, have made payments to CRAS (see attached Financial Report). The current account balance is about $42,000. The appointment of an additional member was continued. Ms. Eve Somjen (City of Irvine staff) later mentioned to City of Tustin staff that CRAS hoped that a Tustin member would be available to serve on the Board of Directors. A prospective Board Member would also need to be nominated in ~L~k~ in. the next ~_~_V_~ weeks in order to meet the annual meeting deadlines. See the agenda item 6 Annual Meeting attachment, Section 6, for further information. Mr. Lee Oliver [sic?] of the Airport Site Coalition sent a letter, seeking to restrict participation in that group. Ms. Sheridan stated that CRAS will ignore such a rest. riction and she will seek concurrence of the Irvine City CourrCil to that end. · The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) is conducting a study for a replacement for Lindbergh Field. The study's first phase is looking at capacity projections and the second pha~e will look at site criteria. The study will not consider a Camp Pendleton site. The study is technically oriented and the next meeting date will be on Wednesday 1-25-89. · The CRAS Annual Meeting will be held on 3-22-89 at Leisure World Clubhouse 3. A new Board of Directors will be P~ among those previously nominated (as per By-law Article V, Section 6 specifying method of nomination). CRAS is seeking an array of speakers including Senator Pete Wilson and several ranking military, and would appreciate any other suggestions for speakers. Notices will be sent during the week of 2-20- 89 and the cities will be asked for assistance. See the Annual Meeting attachment for further information. ATTACHMENT II CRAS Meeting Notes 1-23-89 (Page 2) 7. A direct mail campaign will be initiated. Budget breakdown costs are included in the Mail House Information attachment· · A newsletter will be formatted as per the Newsletter attachment with replacement logo #1 as per Attachment #2. Mr. Paine suggests that the~ project not be activated until more ~ money is raised at the Annual Meeting. · General strategies for publicity are to wait on the direct mail campaign until a better financial hedge is raised, at the. Annual Meeting, and to downplay approaching US Senators etc. until such time as E~.T~r? _ MCAS is continued as a proposed airport site. It was suggested that the mail campaign follow the annual meeting to maximize media publicity. In the meantime, Ms. Sheridan will continue with med~a interviews. Other Business & Public Comments An announcement of closing of m~litary bases (see attachment) included a mention of c~osing Norton AFB, which could allow cargo usage, which could in turn allow better use of existing airports for passenger service. The Leisure World representative stated that an Federal Aviation. Administration (FAA) Report to Congress specified that joint military-civil airport use is possible only if military concerns are resolved. The FAA.downplayed joint use feasibility because passenger service -levels would be unstable due to. military use priority. Base expenditures for a newsletter were approved. The estimated cost is about $4,500 per year for three mailings. . Resolutions of support are being sought from cities and community groups as per the Current Membership attachment. The meeting was adjourned until 6 PM, Monday 2-27-89. Coalition Ft A Responsible A. port' Solution ...

Boyd The New York Times WASHINGTON -- President Bush said Wednesday that the at]- .,out war on drugs he promised in his inaugural address would be mainly an educational effort rather than a law-enforcement crackdown. Bush said he was taking the edu- cational approach because the "overriding problem of the defi- cit'' would make it difficult to in- c~'ease spending on border patrols. and other efforts to keep drugs out of the country. Bush's comments came in a 12- minute interview with two report- ers in the Oval Office.

It's a giant step backward." While he has renewed his pledge to educate people about AIDS, he is not quite ready to begin the task. He must make it through Sunday's 3 p.m. memorial service for Bur- dick at the Hotel Laguna. And for now, he is working on accepting his loss. He's giving him- self time to grieve, yet still going on with his daily activities. Less than 24 hours after Bur- dick's death, Gentry sat in the mayor's chair, running a Laguna Beach City Council meeting. He graciously accepted public com- ment on several important agenda items, then left after two hours.
