successfully managing the Laguna Coast Wilderness Park for over ten years. Ms. Hayashi
pointed out areas of the preserve on a large wall diagram and stated many funding sources are

plan.

a pedestrian stairway to accommodate easier access. Ms. Hayashi commented this would be
the type of activity the Authority could manage.

project.
City Administrator Ray Silver suggested future meetings with Mayor Cook, city staff, and the
Friends of Harbors, Beaches & Parks Board of Directors to fully understand the scope of work.

acquire in the future to eventually increase the park site.
Councilmember Dettloff inquired if the Authority was being formed as a vehicle to oversee the
Orange Coast River Park.
Ms. Hayashi replied the Orange Coast River Park Steering Committee has been formed to
promote the park, and the Authority should actually be all the individual landowners. She stated
the landowners include the City of Newport Beach, the City of Costa Mesa, the Huntington
Beach Wetlands Conservancy, the Army Corps of Engineers and the County of Orange.
Councilmember Green described the berm that obstructs the view of the historic wetlands and
asked why it is necessary.

the Wetlands Conservancy is waiting to have CalTrans deed this land to the Orange Coast
River Park for dune restoration.

Committee Member Hayashi replied that the State Coastal Conservancy and Wetlands
Recovery Project were funding sources. FHBP President Watt stated staffing costs would be
shared by all participants in the Authority.
Councilmember Green inquired what could be done about the homeless living in the area and
children practicing BMX motorbike racing. He expressed his opinion that both activities should
be discouraged in a nature preserve.
John Scott responded there was a real jurisdictional problem in the park with regards to
transients. He stated that the City of Newport Beach Police Department is now patrolling the
area on bicycles, resulting in a marked improvement in the area. Mr. Scott stated the issue with
the BMX bike riders is controversial because many people feel it is a great outlet for children.
Lena Hayashi commended the Huntington Beach Police Department for their assistance in
controlling the transient problem. Ms. Hayashi informed Council that the South East Huntington
Beach Neighborhood Association (SEHBNA) is also monitoring the area.
