new kiosk design proposed, allowing for implementation as noted on the Kiosk

been a huge issue at the National level, and asked if the City handles this in one
payment or every few years.
Council Member Hickman asked for the total cost? Director of Public Works Seumalo

assessment units or Benefit Assessment Unit (BAU) and staff felt it was more prudent to

July 13, 2010
Mayor Melendez requested Kim Cousins with the Chamber of Commerce to speak to
the audience regarding a few issues that the business community had which were
brought to the Council's attention during the last meeting.
Kim Cousin's representing the Chamber of Commerce pointed out to the audience that
the major concerns were implementation of the program whether the program would be
retroactive and what would be required to confirm that the employer complied with the
procedures. He suggested that it may be helpful for the City to conduct some training
sessions with the business owners to help walk them through the process.
(12) An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Lake Elsinore. California.
Amending and Restating Chapter 15.64 of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code
Regarding Flood Damage Prevention
Recommendation: That the City Council waive further reading and introduce by
title only Ordinance No. 1280 amending and restating Chapter 15.64 of the Lake
Elsinore Municipal Code Regarding Flood Damage Prevention.
Council Member Magee requested clarification with the map provided in the staff report.
He stated he had some concerns with restricting development opportunities and needed
a better understanding of the restrictions and impacts on these pieces of property.
Director of Public Works Seumalo responded by saying the area inside the boundary
streets are required to be at 1,267 feet. He stated everywhere else in the City can
change based on whether the property is located near an outflow channel or basin and
the 100 year flood elevation varied throughout the City. FEMA required certain
guidelines to be followed when building in a flood area and the impact to the up stream
property owner is a major impact. It may or may not allow fill dirt to achieve the required
level. Council Member Magee asked if any of the property owners have been noticed.
Director of Public Works replied by saying "No". Council Member Magee stated he
does not feel comfortable moving forward with this until he has a better understanding
of impacts. He advised the Council that he may request to have this item continued.
Council Member Hickman noted the elevation feet of 1265 and 1267 and requested
staff to clarify. Director of Public Works Seumalo noted the 100 year flood elevation
varies around the City. He stated it would require developers to have their lowest floor
to be two feet above the 100 year flood elevation? Director of Public Works Seumalo
replied by saying the elevation is around 1263.4 around the lake; however as you move
away from the lake, the elevation changes.
Council Member Buckley asked if this applied to all structures or just habitable. Director
of Public Works stated it implies to livable area not including the garage.
Mayor Melendez asked if this would be a requirement. Director of Public Works
Seumalo confirmed it is a requirement and the property owners would not have a
choice.

the existing surrounding communities. Edgar Gomez confirmed that the homes were
consistent.
Council Member Magee thanked Mr. Gomez for the investment in the City. He pointed
out to Mr. Gomez Condition No. 11 which discusses the hours of construction.
Mayor Melendez expressed her feelings that there is only one shutter on the side of the
window, stating that it detracted from the appearance of the homes.
Edgar Gomez stated that they could review the design with the Planning Division to
come up with an alternative option.
Planning Consultant Donahoe advised Council that the Conditions of Approval that were
provided in the staff report were incorrect and she provided the corrected version of
Conditions to the Council with the highlighted changes.

Council Member Magee addressed a comment in the staff report where it suggests that
the City Council should designate two members of the Council to draft the argument in
favor of the ballot measure. He indicated he did not feel this would be appropriate. He
suggested the argument should come from the Chamber of Commerce.
Mayor Melendez asked if any of the hotel owners would be attending the 7:00 p.m.

Mr. Kim Cousins with the Chamber of Commerce responded by saying he believed the
only hotel owner that would attend the meeting would be the owner from the Holiday Inn

Vice Chairman Buckley asked if the cost was $1.1 million for 64 units. City Attorney
Leibold replied that the developer has agreed to provide the agency with the
affordability benefit on Lakeview I & 11, so the financing is to the benefit of Lakeview II

price restriction and affordability restrictions on Lakeview I.

City approximately 261 affordable units.

issues. He indicated the management would be a new staff known as CBR

PUBLIC COMMENTS - NON-AGENDIZED ITEMS

PUBLIC COMMENTS - NON AGENIZED ITEMS - 3 MINUTES
Shawn Slater, Union President and former employee addressed the City Council
representing himself and those with whom he worked while employed for the City of
Lake Elsinore. He noted he began working for the City in 2004 and remembers having
a conversation with Council Member Magee who had kind words to share with him and
the department that he worked for. He stated those words elevated his commitment to
the City. He indicated he felt he was part of the community and the government that
was made by the people, for the people. He stated Council Member Buckley once told
him a life without public service is a life in need of service. He noted that some of the
Council members have family members in the service. He stated the "Stars and
Stripes" represent democracy and doing things that are right and handling them the
right way. He felt what brought the City and Union to impasse was an injustice. He
stated, people learned how to play the telephone game while growing up, and Council
and the City Manager communicated through him. He stated 80% of the
communication was non verbal. He advised that when the process began, he asked the
employees what they were asking for. The employees responded by indicating that for
the past three years, they have been told that the contract is going to expire and their
benefits will be taken away. He advised that currently some employees are paying $40
to $60 a month out of their own pocket. They are concerned that if they lose their
medical, they will have to pay $240 to $260 per month. As a result the majority of the
employees voted to keep COLA. The employees felt that if the City was going to make
them pay into PERS or lower their health care benefits, they need to hang on to 3%
today to subsidize for tomorrow.
Mr. Slater stated he spoke with the Director of Administrative Services Riley regarding
different options, such as how much the cost of living adjustment would be and what the
employee's portion would be. He stated the next time they met with the Director of
Administrative Services Riley and City Manager Brady, they were told 3% was not
possible and that three positions were going to be cut. He stated this was discussed
with the union. The union members agreed to ask if the Council would agree to an
extension of the current contract which has brought this matter to where it was today.
He stated there were a lot of people that wanted to go for a one year extension with no
two tier discussion.

Joint City Council Study Session Page 12 of 13
July 13, 2010
Mr. Slater advised he went into the community to see what was on the resident's minds
to keep the city going and what would be best for everyone with the least impact. He
stated, when it came to the last vote, the members may have been begging for some
type of leniency and suggested funds be taken from elsewhere. He stated everything
was before the Council, and no conditions were granted on the employee's side. He felt
the direction the City was headed was not good and there was distrust between the
Council and staff. He stated the next contract negotiation would be brutal for everyone
and it was not going to help the City or the employees. He stated the City was only five
working days into this fiasco. He indicated he walked into City Hall and no one was
there. There were signs posted, and the institutional knowledge was gone and would
never be regained. He stated it took the front receptionist three years to thoroughly
learn that job and Council did not see that knowledge from the inside. He stated
somehow someway the trust must be built back up. He indicated it was his goal to put
Steve Filarsky out of work. He stated the residents cannot afford to continue to pay him
$500 to $600 per hour for his negotiation services and suggested that Council explore
other options. He stated the employees tried Bob Brady, which failed. He felt
something had to change such as having a Council Member sit in on a meeting. He did
not know if that was possible but if it was, he would like to see the situation corrected by
having the City Manager contact Kathy Delgado and try to deal with the members one
more time. He stated this would be the first time that the Council took one step forward
to help the employees and the employees would feel a huge gain of support from the
Council which would go a long way for the City. He stated the City is now aware that
the City Council killed the services. He stated that if there is some way to restore the
democratic process and faith, he hoped the Council would consider finding another
solution because what the city has now is not working.
Council Member Magee noted Mr. Slater brought up the term democracy over and over
again, yet no one has told the City Council what the Union vote was. Mr. Slater
responded by saying without the union members permission, he was not able to
disclose their decision.

BUSINESS ITEM(S)
(12) Consideration of Ordinance No. 2010-1283 of the City Council of the City of Lake
Elsinore. California. Amending Sections 6.04.020. 6.04.030, 6.04.060, 6.04.070,
6.04.140. 6.04.245 and Exhibit A to Chapter 6.04 of the Lake Elsinore Municipal
Code Regarding Animal Control
Recommendation: It is recommended the City Council waive further reading and
introduce by title only Ordinance No. 2010-1283
Mayor Melendez requested the reading of the staff report.
Director of Lake and Aquatic Department Kilroy provided an overview of the item to the
Council.
Council Member Hickman wanted to advise the public the cost of the new animal shelter
which is $173,000. He stated if the City of Wildomar chooses not to join in then the City
of Lake Elsinore's fees would increase to $784,000 which is why the City is requesting
the fees be increased. He suggested asking for a continuance because there are too
many questions unanswered.
Page 31 of 36
Regular City Council Meeting
July 27, 2010
Page 8 of 11
Mayor Pro Tern Bhutta informed the public that the cost of the animal shelter would be
reassessed every year depending on the amount of animals that are dropped off at the
facility.
Council Member Buckley noted that the City of Wildomar currently pays $90,000 for
their animal control fees, which does not include any sheltering service and if they don't
join the JPA, they will need to provide a shelter. He noted the City has set aside two
years of cost for the animal shelter, and none of the cities that have agreed to join have
figured out a way to have a shelter at a lower cost.
Mayor Melendez pointed out that the shelter is built. She asked Ms. Bagwell if the
officers go house to house verifying the animals are licensed. Ms. Bagwell stated no,
not in the City of Lake Elsinore. Mayor Melendez asked Ms. Bagwell how the costs are
calculated between each city. Ms. Bagwell stated it depended on the percentage of
animals that are brought in by the city. Mayor Melendez asked how the animal shelter
determined where an animal came from, if it is dropped off during the evening without
any tags. Ms. Bagwell stated, if a dog is tied up to the fence in front of the shelter, the
responsibility for costs are rotated to each city. However if the animal is found loose in
the city, then the animal control would consider the animal a Lake Elsinore stray. Mayor
Melendez stated she felt that Lake Elsinore was bearing the burden of other cities
because the animal shelter happened to be with the city limits. Mayor Melendez asked
what would happen if an animal was picked up within the city limits, yet it had a license
that indicated the animal belonged to. an owner in the County. Ms. Bagwell stated the
animal would be turned over to the County Shelter. Mayor Melendez indicated that she
felt the City of Lake Elsinore is at a disadvantage as Lake Elsinore is half the size of
other city's yet Lake Elsinore cost is the highest.
Council Member Buckley noted the Mayor's concerns and stated that the new shelter
would be located in the City of Wildomar. He stated the new shelter would have a night
drop area.
Council Member Hickman asked if the hours for patrol services would be increased.
Ms. Bagwell stated the City of Lake Elsinore is budgeted for eight hours of field service,
and the other cities are paying more for the field service.
Director of Lake and Aquatic Department Kilroy noted that there are still some issues
that are being worked out before the agreement comes before City Council for approval.
Mayor Pro Tern Bhutta asked if the service hours ha
