ON THE NEWPORT BEACH CITY COUNCIL AGENDA

Approve amendment to contract with LSA Associates Inc. for Newport

Dunes Resort environmental impact report.

What to expect: The City Council will determine whether to pay an

additional $10,500 to the consultants for extra work they have done in

preparing environmental reports.

The city initially signed on LSA Associates Inc. for $27,500. But the

consultants were on hand to answer questions about the project at several

City Council meetings -- much more than initially predicted -- because it

generated an unusually high amount of public interest.

Confirm the nominations for a vacant spot on the Planning

Commission.

What to expect: In February, the council formed a committee to review 34

applications a vacant seat on the Planning Commission after Richard

Fuller resigned. The committee -- Mayor John Noyes and Councilmen Garold

Adams and Dennis O’Neil -- will announce the nominees.

The council is scheduled to select a commissioner by May 9, 2000.
