THE ISSUES

* Measure S and Measure T:

Opposes both measures.

“I agree with the destination that [Measure S] is attempting to travel

to, but I am opposed to the vehicle by which they are trying to get

there.”Residents would vote on developments exceeding the general plan by

a certain threshold if Measure S passes.

“I do not believe that planning through the ballot box is an

appropriate solution to traffic problems.”

If voters approve both measures, Measure T would add parts of the

city’s traffic phasing ordinance to the city charter and nullify Measure

S.

* Orange County Airports:

An Orange County airport commissioner for 17 years and a member of the

El Toro Citizens Advisory Commission, Proctor said solving the county’s

airport problems is his burning issue.

He favors all efforts to extend the settlement agreement with John

Wayne Airport, which will expire in 2005 and now limits the airport’s

number of flights, passengers and hours of operation.

“The only way to make that viable in the long run is El Toro.”

He supports downsizing the proposed airport at the former El Toro

Marine Corps Air Station to John Wayne Airport’s dimensions.

That might get South County residents “on board, like we did in 1985

with Newport Beach” residents, when the settlement agreement was signed.

* State of the bay:

Sees the bay pollution as a regional problem because waste from cities

to the north of Newport Beach also is dumped in the bay.

In the city itself, “we have 160 storm drains, none of which are ever

treated. We have got to identify problem areas to come up with a cohesive

plan to make this bay one that you can safely swim in -- because you

can’t safely swim in it now.”

* Annexation proposals:

Says the annexation of Santa Ana Heights is important to protect the

city from expansion plans for John Wayne Airport.

Describes the annexation of Newport Coast as a fait accompli because

the City Council has already signed off on it and approval by the Orange

County Local Agency Formation Commission seems certain.

“It’s a good thing for Newport Beach and a good thing for Newport

Coast. I think it will be one of the city’s crown jewels.”

* Revitalizing older areas:

Wants the city to look at models of revitalization such as the River

Walk in San Antonio, Texas, and Sacramento’s Old Town.

“We need to borrow ideas from other cities and look at what they’ve

done” to replace “Jiffy Lubes, etc.” with upscale businesses and upscale

restaurants.
