NEWPORT BEACH

CITY COUNCIL:

* HIS VISION FOR NEWPORT BEACH:

“My vision is to maintain safety on our street,s but also look at

areas of city government with a lot of fluff and get rid of them. I

don’t think the current City Council can do that.”

* NEWPORT BEACH’S GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT:

“Since [the process] has already started, [council members] can

either nod [their] heads and accept it on face value or go into each

area and determine what it means. You can’t leave that up to the

staff. It’s up to the City Council to make sure to read everything.”

* FICUS TREE REMOVAL:

“It was totally improperly done in the stealth of night. It was a

jack-booted thug kind of mentality, trying to take advantage of

people sleeping.”

NEWPORT-MESA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT:

* TEACHERS IN UNDERPERFORMING SCHOOLS:

“Once a school is considered underperforming, teachers should be

placed on ‘probationary evaluation.’ Any teacher not performing up to

necessary standards should be transferred and any replacement teacher

should earn an ‘incentive pay increase’ for transferring to an

underperforming school. Through attrition, loss of federal government

subsidy or dismissal, teachers’ feet need to be held near the fire in

underperforming schools.”
