An additional $8,000 was reported Monday.

Measure T would add parts of the city’s traffic-phasing ordinance to the city charter and nullify Measure S, should voters approve both measures.

Measure S, also known as “Greenlight,” proposes to put before a citywide vote any development that allows an increase of more than 100 peak-hour car trips or dwelling units or is 40,000 square feet over the General Plan allowance.

Greenlight supporters received $1,000 from Kenneth Colbaugh, a consultant in Corona del Mar, as well as $10,271 in postage, printing costs and flier designs from Stop the Dunes Hotel, a group opposing a proposed hotel and convention center at the Newport Dunes. This brings contributions supporting Measure S to $76,381, with $51,149 spent so far.
