Council Member Hickman asked for the total cost? Director of Public Works Seumalo responded by saying the total allowable charge the City can use is $13.88 per benefited assessment units or Benefit Assessment Unit (BAU) and staff felt it was more prudent to incrementally increase the cost rather than all at once.

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.

(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.

Vice Chairman Buckley asked which Agency Member would be addressing the issue at the 7:00 p.m. meeting. Agency Member Melendez requested larger font on the next report, as it is very small and difficult to read. (6) Lakeview Apartments Affordable Housing Proiect Recommendation: It is recommended the City Council direct staff to prepare the necessary agreements and related documents evidencing Agency Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund assistance in the amount of $1.1 million toward proposed affordable rental housing project with 55-year affordability covenants in accordance with applicable redevelopment law requirements to be presented to the Agency for consideration and approval at a future meeting. Chairman Magee commented on the staff report and suggested more detail 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 alone; however the Agency would receive 150 units of inclusionary housing through the price restriction and affordability restrictions on Lakeview I. Agency Member Hickman noted with this project and Pottery Court, this would give the City approximately 261 affordable units. Chairman Magee asked if this would be a gated complex and if the same management staff would be used for this development. David Nahas, representing the development team addressed the Agency and clarified issues. He indicated the management would be a new staff known as CBR Management. Page 12 of 36 Joint City Council Study Session Page 11 of 13 July 13, 2010 City Attorney Leibold pointed out to the Agency that there may be some confusion because the color did not come out on the maps and there are two properties with similar names. She stated this project is Lakeview and not to be confused with Lakeshore. The City Council reconvened at 4:56 p.m. PUBLIC COMMENTS - NON-AGENDIZED ITEMS There were none. 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. Page 13 of 36 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. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR COMMENTS There were none. LEGAL COUNSEL COMMENTS City Attorney Leibold announced that the City Council would adjourn to the Closed Session meeting at 5:00 p.m. to discuss the items listed as Items 1a and lb under Closed Session on the agenda.

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.

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.

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.
