CITY ADVOCATES IN WASHINGTON , D . C .

The Newport Bay Trash Interceptor , a sustainably powered system to collect floating trash before it enters the Upper Bay , will be operational by December .
Construction will begin shortly on a Central Library Civic Hall in collaboration with the Newport Beach Library Foundation which will fund 50 percent of the estimated $ 23 million cost .
The 9,814-square-foot building includes tiered , stadium seating for 299 people and will host a variety of library and other public events throughout the year . Another library project pending construction is the “ liberstation ” on the Balboa Peninsula , a combined library and fire station much like the one in Corona del Mar .
And there ’ s more , lots more , with the ongoing planning for long range improvements like replacing the Balboa Island seawalls , Newport and Balboa Pier replacements , city-wide park improvements , and bay dredging .
Our city is fortunate to have invested in the requisite long-range planning , including maintaining sufficient capital reserves , to accomplish this level of service and infrastructure . It is a great honor to serve on the City Council and partner with our highly qualified staff and members of our community to achieve these and other important city initiatives .
