WEDNESDAY, JULY 1, 2020 /// Now including Coastline Pilot and Huntington Beach Independent /// dailypilot.com

Costa Mesa residentDoris Taylor-Foster, whohas lived in the city since1942, turned 100 years oldon Monday.

A small group of familymembers, including Taylor-Foster’s children, John Tay-lor and Evelyn Taylor-John-son, gathered outside of thedining facility at Mesa VerdeConvalescent Hospital tosing “Happy Birthday” toTaylor-Foster.

Inside, a big birthdaycake could be pictured, andTaylor-Foster held a signthat read, “I Did It! 100Years.”

Hitting the century markwas a goal for Taylor-Foster.

“Her grandparents thatlived in New York lived to be

97 and 98,” Evelyn Taylor-Johnson said, “and she al-ways thought it would befun, when she was gettingolder and older, to live to be100. That was her goal ...She has such a strong faith.Mom’s gone through pneu-monia and all kinds ofthings, but she just foughtback. She’s made it.”

Doris Taylor-Foster staysactive at Mesa Verde byplaying Bingo and Uno, andshe enjoys sing-alongs. Shemakes FaceTime calls withJohn and Evelyn on Fridays,and with her daughter,Vicki, who lives in Arizona,on Sundays.

“She was just the old-

fashioned mom that wasthe stay-at-home mom,”Evelyn Taylor-Johnson said.“However, she was involvedin all of our activities. Sheloved people.”

Born on June 29, 1920, inMissoula, Mont., Doris andher family eventuallymoved to Laguna Beachwhen she was in highschool. She met Ralph Al-bert Taylor, who was 20years older than her, butthey were married in Febru-ary 1938.

They moved to CostaMesa in 1942, buying threeacres on Pacific Avenue

To help balance a 2020-21 budgetpredominated by coronavirus-relatedrevenue losses, the Costa Mesa CityCouncil recently approved furloughsfor city employees across all depart-ments, amounting to $3 million insavings, after negotiating with unionleaders.

Carol Molina, the city’s budget andpurchasing manager, told councilmembers in a special meeting Thurs-day night that all employee groupswere asked to consider furloughsequating to about 5% of the work-force.

Departments were originally askedto consider 10% cuts, Molina clari-fied, before the city was made awareit was eligible for about $3 million inCOVID-19 funding from county, stateand federal agencies.

“With the anticipated receipt of thegeneral fund backfill, we reduced that10% request to 5%,” Molina saidThursday. “We have been in talkswith the unions as early as May 4,and we’ve had multiple discussionswith them to get to this point.”

The furloughs are part of a multi-faceted approach by city leaders toclose a $24-million budget gap for2020-21, the result of revenue lossessustained from the closure of busi-nesses and city facilities that generatemillions in taxes, fees and fines.

Council members approved earlierthis month making $10.8 million inacross-the-board departmental cutsand drawing down $10.2 million inreserve funds earmarked for disastersand economic recovery.

Furloughs were quickly negotiatedwith representatives from the city’slabor union, including the CostaMesa Police and Fire & Rescue de-partments, as well as units represent-ing nonunion employee groups.

As such, each labor unit has agreedto 104 hours of furloughed time, inaddition to restrictions that wouldkeep employees from cashing outtheir vacation balances throughoutthe fiscal year and temporary in-creases to vacation caps.

Some groups successfully negotiat-ed city matches to employees’ retire-ment health savings plans and askedfor contract reopeners in the yearsahead that would consider base sala-ry increases, should conditions ap-prove.

Human Resources administratorKasama Lee said the goal for the citygoing into talks was to secure the 5%furloughs in the new fiscal year, whilekeeping things flat in 2021-22 beforeconsidering possible modest contractincreases in outlying years.

“Had we not been able to reachagreements with the groups, wewould need to bring forth an addi-tional $3 million in cuts, in addition

Laguna Beach City Council membersvoted to close city beaches Tuesday night,as Huntington Beach officials opted to keepthem open, and Newport Beach officialswaited to decide if they will follow Los An-geles County’s lead in shutting down for theFourth of July weekend because of a spike incoronavirus cases.

A day after Los Angeles County an-nounced it would be closing its beaches forthe upcoming weekend because of spikingcoronavirus spread, officials in HuntingtonBeach said the city would be “deploying anenhanced public safety presence at thebeaches, while also proactively enforcingregulations against illegal fireworks duringthe holiday weekend.”

Additionally, the city will engage in “pub-lic outreach efforts to promote public healthand safety to mitigate the spread ofCOVID-19,” according to a press releasefrom Huntington Beach Tuesday night.

Still, Huntington resident Amanda Olsonsaid she would likely be staying home forthe holiday. She said she has been morecautious since filming a Black Lives Matterprotest downtown on June 20, though shehas yet to be tested for the coronavirus. Sheis also concerned because her 8-year olddaughter, Isabella, has asthma.

“Now I’m getting a lot more nervous,” Ol-son said. “The [coronavirus] rates in OrangeCounty and in Huntington are going up. Ikind of got a little lax with the social dis-tancing, but my plan is that I’m avoidingdowntown indefinitely. As for the beaches, Iprobably will avoid them this weekend. I’msure it’s going to be crowded. In general, myplan is to lay low this weekend. I’m just re-setting back to a couple of months ago, howstrict I was being.”

Neighboring Newport Beach has given noindication that it will follow Los AngelesCounty’s lead, although it won’t have profes-sional fireworks shows or street parades.

Only the American Legion Old Glory boatparade is set for Saturday in Newport Har-bor. But Newport lifeguards are prepared foran influx beyond even the typical Fourth ofJuly crush as displaced L.A. beachgoers lookfor the next-closest sand and surf.

Brian O’Rourke, a Newport lifeguard bat-talion chief, said the beaches will be staffedsimilarly to last year, with about 60 peopleon duty between 35 towers, 10 vehicles,three rescue boats and the headquarters onNewport Pier, with the flexibility to call inreinforcements if the turnout demands it.

With a heat wave forecast for the holidayand expected swells of 5 to 7 feet, this week-end will be “legendary,” O’Rourke said. Andby that he means busy.

Guards will start their patrols earlier andhold down their towers later, until about8 p.m., plus add a dispatcher and bringmore personnel into the headquarters.

“We’re prepared to go,” O’Rourke said.Turnout on the Huntington and Newport

shores made news earlier in the pandemic,when a heat wave and waning patiencebeckoned Californians weary from morethan a month of stay-at-home orders.

Although local public safety officials said

the crowds were more safely distancingthan some photos may have let on — and inNewport, about as heavy as any warmspring weekend — Gov. Gavin Newsom or-dered all Orange County beaches closed onApril 30. They were reopened for “activeuse” about a week later, and officially re-opened fully earlier this month.

In between, local leaders and residentstook umbrage, firing off a spurt of lawsuitsclaiming the closure was unconstitutional.Huntington Beach sued the state with New-port’s support, and Newport City Council-man Kevin Muldoon filed a federal lawsuitagainst the state. Neither suit was success-ful.

In addition to heavy lifeguard presence,Newport Beach said it will maintain astrong police presence on the beaches,managing traffic flow in West Newport andCorona del Mar and enforcing parkingrules, the city’s fireworks ban and the 10p.m. beach curfew.

The “safety enhancement zone” in WestNewport will return with fines for violationssuch as loud music, unruly parties and

“While we are expectingto see a lot of visitors to ourbeaches over the Fourth ofJuly weekend, our commu-nity can be confident thatour police officers are pre-pared to keep our commu-nity safe and maintain anenvironment where every-one can enjoy the holiday,”said City CouncilwomanDiane Dixon, who repre-sents Balboa Peninsula,one of the city’s most im-pacted visitor spots.

Certain local streets willbe closed from 10:30 a.m.Friday to about 3 a.m. Sun-day to maintain traffic flow:

• Southbound OrangeStreet at West Coast High-way

• Via Oporto from ViaLido to 32nd Street

• Via Malaga from Via

Oporto to Via Lido“Each member of the

Newport Beach communityand even larger area is firstand foremost personally re-sponsible for their ownhealth and well-being,”said City Councilman JeffHerdman, whose Balboa Is-land district is also a visitormagnet.

“As such, you should al-ways use good judgment inany and every activity youundertake. This is a per-sonal responsibility whichis assumed of everyone inour community, and ofthose who visit our com-munity, as well.”

Laguna Beach will closeits city beaches on July 4.The Laguna Beach CityCouncil also directed CityManager John Pietig andcity staff to close thebeaches on July 3 and 5should other circum-stances present themselvesbefore the weekend.

Council members made

the decisions unanimouslyTuesday night.

Unlike its northerlyneighbors, Laguna Beachinitially closed its beachesin an effort to curb co-ronavirus cases in March. Itreopened in May after mar-ine safety and police offi-cers reported good behav-ior and compliance frombeachgoers.

Casey Parlette, a LagunaBeach resident, said it wascomplicated to say “yes” or“no” on whether beachesshould remain open orclosed in the city ahead ofthe Fourth of July weekend.

“I hear both sides of theargument. I understandwhy [the city] might wantto be closed, but it’s a toughthing when everything isclosed. When the beaches,trailheads, parks wereclosed, the only thing thatwas open was maybe yourbackyard, if you have one,

to what was already cut,and that would includepossible workforce reduc-tions,” Lee told the council.

Council members largelypraised staff for working soquickly on negotiating thecuts before the July 1 startof the new fiscal year.

“It’s really remarkablethat these agreements havebeen negotiated at an arm’slength and in good faith,for the benefit of the com-munity, to try and fill a holein our budget under verydifficult circumstances,”said Mayor Pro Tem JohnStephens.

Council members SandyGenis and Allan Mansoorobjected to the fact thatquickly reached agree-ments seeking immediatecouncil approval seemedto violate city policy requir-ing transparency in labornegotiations and makingaccommodations for pub-lic review and input.

Policy 300-8 says pro-posals and counterpropos-als must be publicly avail-able and that tentativeagreements reached be-tween negotiating partiesbe posted at least sevendays before a council vote.

It also requires council

members to report com-munications they havewith representatives of em-ployee groups regardingterms of the negotiations.

“I don’t actually haveproblems with the agree-ments themselves,” Genissaid, “but I do have someconcerns about the proc-ess.”

Mayor Katrina Foley de-fended staff and City Man-ager Lori Ann Farrell Harri-son — who led negotia-tions but could neitherpost agreements with priornotice nor attend Thurs-day’s meeting due to afamily emergency — foracting with urgency in anuncommon situation.

“We are in the middle ofa pandemic. We are tryingto balance the budget in aneconomic crisis of a kindthat no one has ever heardof in more than 100 years,”Foley said. “This criticismof our staff not followingpolicy — it’s just, frankly,offensive.”

Ultimately, the councilvoted 6-1 to approve andadopt side letters of agree-ment with its employeegroups and resolutionsnecessary to grant the fur-loughs. Mansoor cast thelone dissenting vote.

and the middle of the streetand that was pretty muchit,” Parlette said. “We weretrying to figure out creativeways to get my 3-year-oldson out and doing things,but I think that there’s acertain amount of implicitresponsibility that individ-uals need to take to not bepart of the problem.”

“I think if people do thatthen I think it’s a lot easierfor things to remain open.A lot of people live downhere in [Southern Califor-nia]. Everybody wants to gosomewhere. It’s a toughone,” Parlette said.

James Pribram, on theother hand, said that he feltthat the city needed toclose its beaches, describ-ing south Laguna Beach as“the wild, wild west” com-pared to what he said hesaw when city beaches firstreopened.

“My concern is that ...the 2½ months we quaran-tined went out the windowand my worry is that we’regoing to have to do itagain,” Pribram said.

“If we have to close ourbeaches over the Fourth ofJuly or another two weeksor a month, so be it. That’sbetter than being closeddown the rest of the year. Ithink that’s where we’re go-ing.”

Newsom added OrangeCounty to his 19-countywatch list Monday, puttingthe area on notice that itsreopening could be re-versed as the county healthdepartment posted con-cerning metrics of acceler-ated COVID-19 spread.

On Tuesday, OrangeCounty Health Care AgencyDirector Dr. Clayton Chausaid that he is consideringclosing bars, as Los Angeleshas.

Orange County reported

a record 779 new cases ofthe coronavirus and 10 newrelated deaths fromCOVID-19 Tuesday, bring-ing the total case count to13,843 known infections,233,281 tests and 340deaths over the last fourmonths. Hospitals reported510 inpatients, with 176 inintensive care.

Testing positivity was at9.9% and the change in thethree-day average of hospi-talized patients was up9.7%. The state has thresh-olds of 8% testing positivityand 10% for hospitalizationincreases before steppingin to monitor the situation.

Here are the latest cumu-lative case counts anddeaths for select cities:

• Santa Ana: 2,850 cases;89 deaths

• Anaheim: 2,591 cases;84 deaths

• Huntington Beach: 637cases; 38 deaths

• Irvine: 387 cases; 5deaths

• Costa Mesa: 342 cases;2 deaths

• Newport Beach: 295cases; 2 deaths

• Fountain Valley: 120cases; 6 deaths

• Laguna Beach: 61 cases;0 deaths

Huntington Beach resi-dent Gina Clayton-Tarvin,who is president of theOcean View School DistrictBoard of Trustees, said it isimportant for the city tofollow the state’s directives

on the beaches.That can include free ac-

cess.“Orange County has seen

fewer cases in relation toL.A. County or San DiegoCounty per capita, but Idon’t know if that’s a func-tion of fewer cases or if it’s afunction of lack of testing,”she said. “For this weekend,I think we should look tothe California Departmentof Health. If they’re not say-ing that our beaches needto be closed … then weshould enjoy the holidayweekend. IndependenceDay is something to be cel-ebrated in our nation, butwe have to celebrate re-sponsibly. Being an Ameri-can means that you’re free,but freedom comes withgreat responsibility.”

“I have always been fairlyconservative in my opin-

ions on how to deal withthe outbreak,” Clayton-Tarvin said, calling theCOVID-19 growth statewide“alarming.” “[Earlier in thepandemic], I can tell youfrom the Ocean ViewSchool District’s point ofview, at that time we hadactually shut all of ourschool grounds down. Weare the biggest provider ofopen space in the city ofHuntington Beach. We op-erate 312 acres of space …and the majority of it is inHuntington Beach.

“We have reopened ourfields, we are saying thatthe public should comeand recreate again, becausewe understand that it’s veryhard to be inside all of thetime.”
