OKAY.

MY NAME IS CHUCK KERLIKOWSKE.

I'M A LAWYER AND I REPRESENT THE QUAN FAMILY, WHICH IS THE OWNER OF THE WEST RIDGE GOLF COURSE FOR WHICH MEASURE X WAS THE SUBJECT.

UH, I JUST, I HAPPENED TO NOTICE THAT, UH, A FEW MINUTES AGO, MANY OF THE NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS WERE GIVEN AN OATH AND THAT OATH INCLUDED THE OBLIGATION TO UPHOLD THE LAWS OF THIS STATE, AS WELL AS BOTH THE UNITED STATES AND THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION, UH, BY CERTIFYING THE ELECTION RESULTS.

AND BY MOVING FORWARD IN THE FUTURE, WITH RESPECT TO WHATEVER YOU'RE GOING TO DO WITH THOSE RESULTS, UH, THAT WILL END UP RESULTING IN AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL TAKING OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, THE QUAN PROPERTY, IT WOULD RESULT IN A REGULATORY TAKING OF THE PROPERTY.

THE MEASURE X SPECIFICALLY TARGETS THE PROPERTY.

IT WILL BE CONSIDERED A SPOT ZONING OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

AND TO THE EXTENT THAT THIS COUNCIL MOVED FORWARD WITH APPROVING THE ORDINANCES RELATED TO THAT MEASURE, IT WILL THEN BECOME COMPLICIT IN THAT UNCONSTITUTIONAL TAKING OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

SO I JUST WANTED TO REMIND THE COUNCIL OF THAT ISSUE.

IT WILL BE COMING TO A HEAD I IMAGINE VERY SOON, AND I APPRECIATE YOUR CAREFUL CONSIDERATION OF YOUR DUTIES TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION WHEN THE TIME COMES.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

OKAY.

AND WE HAVE ANOTHER SPEAKER YES, IT LOOKS ACTUALLY LIKE THERE'S THREE.

THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR.

THIS IS KEITH COLLINS WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.

UH, THERE IS A PROVISION OF THE BROWN ACT THAT ALLOWS THE CITY COUNCIL TO ADD AN ITEM TO THE AGENDA AFTER IT HAS BEEN POSTED.

IF THE CITY COUNCIL CAN MAKE TWO SEPARATE AND DISTINCT FINDINGS, THE FIRST IS THAT THERE IS AN NEED TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION ON AN ITEM.

AND THE SECOND FINDING THAT YOU NEED TO MAKE IS THAT THE NEED CAME TO THE ATTENTION OF THE CITY AFTER THE POSTING OF THE AGENDA.

UH, THERE IS A, UH, AN APPEAL INVOLVING THE RELEASE OF SEVERAL HUNDRED PRISONERS FROM THE ORANGE COUNTY JAIL FACILITY.

UM, AND THAT APPEAL WILL BE FILED AND HEARD, UM, RELATIVELY QUICKLY, UH, THIS WEEK WE EXPECT THE APPEAL TO BE FILED AND THE CITY HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN OTHER CITIES IN FILING AN AMICUS BRIEF, A FRIEND OF THE COURT BRIEF URGING THE COURT TO TAKE A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO THIS PARTICULAR CASE.

SO THOSE ARE KIND OF THE FACTS THAT SURROUND THIS PARTICULAR ITEM.

AND NOW WE JUST BECAME AWARE OF THIS AFTER THE POSTING OF THE AGENDA LAST WEEK.

AND SO IF THE COUNCIL CAN MAKE THOSE TWO FINDINGS, THAT THERE'S A NEED TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION AND THAT THE NEED CAME TO THE ATTENTION OF THE CITY AFTER THE POSTING OF THE AGENDA, THEN THIS ITEM CAN BE BROUGHT BEFORE YOU, AND I'LL, I'LL SPEAK MORE TO THAT AT THAT TIME.

WOULD THAT BE PUT UNDER CONSENT OR IS IT GOING TO BE A CONSIDERATION CONSIDERATION? OKAY.

UM, MADAM MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE, WE HAVE TO HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS FIRST.

NOW WE WILL GO BACK TO THE ITEM THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE COUNCIL, WHICH IS CONSIDERATION OF THE AMICUS BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF CAMPBELL AT ALL VERSUS DON BARNES.

IF WE COULD GET A STAFF REPORT.

YES.

MADAM MAYOR.

THANK YOU.

THIS IS KEITH COLLINS WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.

UM, AS I DISCUSSED BRIEFLY A FEW MINUTES AGO, UH, EARLIER THIS YEAR, THE AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE ORANGE COUNTY SHERIFF BARNES, UH, ALLEGING AMONG OTHER THINGS THAT THE METHOD THAT THE COUNTY WAS USING TO INCARCERATE THE INMATES, VIOLATED THE CIVIL LIBERTIES OF THE INMATES DUE TO THE PANDEMIC AND THE SPREAD AND THE SOCIAL DISTANCING REQUIREMENTS AND THE RATES OF INFECTION AND TRANSMISSION WITHIN THE JAIL FACILITY.

UH, RECENTLY THE JUDGE IN THAT CASE, GRANTED A MOTION BY THE PLAINTIFFS AND ORDERED THE COUNTY TO COME UP WITH A PLAN BY DECEMBER 31ST OF THIS YEAR, TO DECREASE THE PRISON PUPPET THE, THE JAIL POPULATION BY 50%.

UH, THAT COULD MEAN UP TO 1000 INMATES BEING RELEASED IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.

IF THIS ORDER, UH, IS, IS ABLE TO STAND, UH, THE COUNTY HAS APPEALED THE ORDER AND THE SHERIFF HAS REACHED OUT TO CITIES IN ORANGE COUNTY AND ASKED THEM TO FILE BRIEFS AS FRIENDS OF THE COURT, UM, SUPPORTING THEIR APPEAL THAT WOULD DENY THIS ORDER REQUIRING THE RELEASE OF THESE INMATES.

UH, CURRENTLY THERE ARE 10 OTHER CITIES WHO HAVE COMMITTED TO FILE AN AMICUS BRIEF AND, AND THE WAY THAT IT'S HAPPENING CURRENTLY IS THAT THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH IS TAKING THE LEAD DRAFTING.

THIS FRIEND OF THE COURT BRIEF, UH, 10 OTHER CITIES HAVE SIGNED ON ACTUALLY, I'M SORRY, 12 OTHER CITIES HAVE SIGNED ON AND THERE ARE 10 OTHER CITIES THAT ARE CONSIDERING SIGNING ON, UH, THEY'VE SIGNED ON WITH NEWPORT BEACH.

YES.

JUST, JUST PUT THEIR NAME, THAT THE NAME OF THEIR CITY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE AMICUS BRIEF PREPARED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY FOR THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, UH, THE CITIES THAT HAVE CURRENTLY SIGNED ON INCLUDE ALISO VIEJO LAKE FOREST, YOUR BELINDA ORANGE LAGUNA HILLS ARE GOING TO BEACH MISSION VIEJO, CYPRESS LAGUNA NIGUEL, UH, SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO.

SO THERE ARE SEVERAL CITIES THAT ARE SIGNING ONTO THIS AMICUS BRIEF.

THEY WILL BE FILING THE BRIEF TOMORROW OR WEDNESDAY AT THE LATEST, UH, THE APPEAL I BELIEVE WAS FILED TODAY.

AND SO THE AMICUS BRIEF WOULD BE IN SUPPORT OF THAT APPEAL THAT WAS FILED TODAY.

UM, IF THE CITY COUNCIL DECIDES TO SUPPORT THIS BRIEF, IT WOULD COST THE CITY $1,000 AS A PROPORTIONAL COST OF PREPARING THIS BRIEF SHARED AMONG ALL OF THESE CITIES, UM, OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE, THE CITY COULD DECLINE TO TAKE PART IN THIS AS A FRIEND OF THE COURT AND ALLOW THE LITIGATION TO PLAY OUT, HOWEVER IT DOES.

AND SO THAT'S THE EXTENT OF MY REPORT.

AND I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

KEITH, I GOT A QUESTION TO THE WORST CASE SCENARIO.

WOULD THERE BE ANY OTHER POTENTIAL FINANCIAL IMPACT ON THE CITY IF WE GO ON BOARD AND WOULD THERE BE A COUNTER SUIT OR ANYTHING THAT HE COULD PROCEED, UH, THAT COULD HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE? NO.

AND OBVIOUSLY THE MORE CITIES GET INVOLVED WITH THE LESS IT'LL COST US FINANCIALLY, RIGHT? YEAH.

GIVEN THE SHORT TIMEFRAME THAT WE'VE HAD TO DO THIS, UM, $1,000 OBVIOUSLY WOULD BE DECREASED IF MORE CITIES JOINED.

THAT'S JUST THE ESTIMATE THAT THE NEWPORT BEACH CITY ATTORNEY IS GIVING.

OKAY.

ARE THERE ANY MORE QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL THEN? I WOULD INVITE THE PUBLIC TO TESTIFY AND DO, PLEASE GIVE THEIR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE IN THE ATRIUM THAT WE KNOW I'M ACTUALLY WAITING FOR AN ANSWER FROM BRIANNA.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[00:45:11]

NONE.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

THEN I WOULD CALL FOR THE COUNCIL DISCUSSION OR ACTION MATTERS.

MAYOR.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE A JOINING, UH, DEBRIEF FOR CAMPBELL AT AL VERSUS DON BARNES IN SUPPORT WITH THE NEWPORT BEACH, UH, CITY COUNCIL AND THOSE OTHER COUNCILS, UH, CITIES THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THIS I'LL SECOND.

OKAY.

RIGHT NOW, ARE WE GOING TO USE OUR BUTTONS? ARE WE GOING TO DO ROLL CALL, ROLL CALL.
