Councilmember Buckley inquired if he would have to come up with a$10 thousand deposit if he was building a house or doing significant renovations to his house. Agenda Item No. Page Of PAGE SEVEN - STUDY SESSION MINUTES - JANUARY 10, 2006 Community Development Director Preisendanz indicated that, according to the way the Ordinance was structured, the covered project would be the 8listed in the staff report. He noted one of the projects was a new single-family residential dwelling. Councilmember Buckley inquired if it could be required that CR&R be hired for recycling disposal. Recreation/Tourisin Manager Fazzio indicated that had been done in the past. She noted that there was arguments made that people could recycle on their own and turn in their weight tickets. Councilmember Buckley inquired if the Ordinance could include the word "must" for recycling with CR&R since must was used with CR&R for garbage disposal. Community Development Director Preisendanz indicated that the City conditioned projects that they must recycle with CR&R. He noted that the condition included construction waste and general recycling. Community Services Director Sapp indicated that the current Ordinance required everyone to utilize to the City's service provider who currently was CR&R. City Attorney Leiboid inquired if the Franchise Agreement with CR&R included recycling. Community Services Director Sapp confirmed that the Franchise Agreement included recycling. Recreation/Tourism Manager Fazzio indicated that there was a point in time that some of the developers were given conditions that they did not have to use CR&R. Agenda Item No. Page Of PAGE EIGHT - STUDY SESSION MINUTES - JANUARY 10, 2006 Recreation/Tourism Manager Fazzio stated that the California lntegrated Waste Management Board was very anxious for Cities to adopt the Ordinance that was being presented to Council. She noted that they had contacted her regarding the status of the City's ordinance. Councilmember Bucldey stated that the Ordinance should include "must use City's service provider and failure to comply would mean immediate shut down and a fine of $50 thousand a day". City Attorney Leibold indicated that there were limits to fines for misdemeanors and infractions and how they were characterized. Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner requested that the recycling procedure be stated clearly and concisely. Recreation/Tourism Manager Fazzio indicated that CR&R knew what could be recycled and what could not be recycled. Councilmember Kelley noted that she agreed with Councilmember Buckley's suggestion. Mayor Magee stated that Section 14.12.070 allowed the recycling coordinator the latitude to waive the fee. Recreation/Tourism Manager Fazzio indicated that 14.12.090 addressed Compliance Review and Security Deposit. She noted that the section stated that if it was determined that the diversion requirement had been achieved; the full amount of the diversion security deposit would be refunded to the applicant. She further noted that the section also stated that if it was determined that the diversion requirement had not been met; a portion of the diversion security deposit would be refunded equal to the portion of the diversion requirement that had been met. Agenda Item No. Page Of PAGE NINE - STUDY SESSION MINUTES - JANUARY 10, 2006 Councilmember Hickman inquired how much the deposit would be if he wanted to put a deck on his house. Recreation/Tourism Manager Fazzio indicated that currently $10 thousand was the smallest deposit that could be put down. Recreation/Tourism Manager Fazzio indicated that if it was under the covered projects then the smallest deposit would be required. Councilmember Hickman stated that he agreed with Councilmember Buckley's suggestion that the applicant must contract with CR&R. Mayor Magee stated that the only way it made sense not to select CR&R was if the applicant had a recycling company that was offering money for the recycled goods. City Attorney Leibold indicated that the City was permitted to have an Exclusive Franchise Agreement with respect to refuse collection. She noted that she would be reviewing the City's Code to determine whether that extended to recyclables. Councilmember Buckley inquired how the typical person would know what was recyclable. Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner inquired if the exact procedure for recycling, as done by CR&R, could be specified rather than their name. Recreation/Tourism Manager Fazzio indicated that there was a Franchise Agreement with CR&R where they had the rights to do trash and recycling. City Treasurer Weber indicated that that most projects would recycle items themselves to collect money for items that were of value. He stated that he did not believe that the projects would give those items over to CR&R. Agenda Item No. Page Of PAGE TEN - STUDY SESSION MINUTES - JANUARY 10, 2006 Mayor Magee thanked City Treasurer Weber for his comments. He noted that the City had a reporting responsibility to the State to meet the City's diversion requirement and goals. Mayor Magee noted that the County had a Load Checking Program. He indicated that the program was sophisticated enough to track where loads came from in case there was anyone disposing of items they should not be. City Attorney Leibold confirmed that the existing Franchise Agreement with CR&R covered recyclables which would address the issue of free trade constraint and whether the City had the opportunity to restrict the recyclables exclusively to CR&R or to opt with the approach taken in the proposed Ordinance. She noted that fines are dictated by State Law and incorporated into the City's code with a$100 for the first fine, $200 for the second and $500 for the third or more in a one-year period. She noted that the fines were per day. She noted that the deposit could not be substituted for a fine of any kind of equivalent value. 44. Planning Commission Resignation and Appointment Process. Councilmember Kelley suggested taking the second person that she and the Mayor had interviewed, a short time ago, rather than going through the entire process. She noted the only problem with that option was that the individual lived in Country Club Heights. Mayor Magee noted that having an additional Country Club Heights resident as a member of the Commission may be a problem. He had noted that there had been issues with conflicts of interest with three of the members. 45. 32"d Year CDBG allocation. Claudine Duitsman, Assistance League of Temecula, gave a brief overview of the organization she volunteered for and background information on the Operation School Bell program they conduct to help supply school-aged Agenda Item No. Page Of PAGE ELEVEN - STUDY SESSION MINUTES - JANUARY 10, 2006 children with cloths and school supplies. She thanked the Council for the grant money they had received to date and whatever money they were to receive in the future. Mayar Magee thanked Ms. Duitsman for her comments. Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner stated that he would be in fa~or of cutting the allocation to the Senior Center by $6 thousand in order to distriubte that money to other items listed under Public Service Programs. Councilmember Buckley clarified that the Senior Center was getting $10 thousand. He noted that they received $17 thousand the year before. Councilmember Buckley inquired if all the money allocated to Structure Abatement had been spent far last year. Community Services Director Sapp confirmed. Councilmember Buckley inquired if the City would become an `Bntitled City" when a certain population mark was achieved. Community Services Director Sapp confirmed that a city must meet the population of 50 thousand in order to become an "Entitled City". Councilmember Hickman inquired if the Boys and Girls Club allocation could be cut from $5 thousand to $3 thousand in order to add $2 thousand to H.O.P.E. Community Services Director Sapp stated that decision was up to the Council. Councilmember Kelley noted that the Boys and Girls Club encompassed a lot of programs to benefit a child's overall well being other than to be watched after. She noted that the Boys and Girls Club projected an annual operation budget of $180 thousand. She noted that the $180 thousand needed to be raised from contributions. She noted they charge for their services, but they also do Agenda Item No. Page Of PAGE TWELVE - STUDY SESSION MINUTES - JANUARY 10, 2006 not turn any child away. She noted that there were a lot of scholarships expected to the pay the cost of children who could not afford the program. She noted that the $5 thousand went a long way for the Boys and Girls Club. Mayor Magee inquired if the $5 thousand accommodation for the Boys and Girls Club was expected to be ongoing and if the amount requested would be consistent for future requests. Councilmember Kelley stated that she was confident that the Boys and Girls Club would be requesting grant money every year. She noted that they look for every single place they can acquire grants. She noted that the program would only grow in the future with the anticipation that they would be servicing more children. Community Services Sapp stated that if additional funding should come in, money could be utilized toward other items. 46. Industrial Design Review No. 2005-01. No comments. 47. Proposed amendment to Joint Powers Agreement creating the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority. City Treasurer Weber inquired if the amendment to the agreement was proposed for cost effective reasons.

She noted that the RCA was a formed Joint Powers Authority. She noted that the agreement showed what was deleted and was being added. She indicated that amendment had to do with a staffing issue. Agenda Item No. Page Of PAGE THIRTEEN - STUDY SESSION MINUTES - JANUARY 10, 2006 48. Construction Contract Award far Interim Improvement at I-15/Railroad Canyon Road Interchange. Councilmember Hickman inquired why only 1 bid package was received. City Engineer Seumalo indicated that it had to do with the current nature of construction. He noted that they did not receive anything with the first call far bids. 49. Resolution authorizing the issuance of bonds and approving bond documents for Community Facilities District No. 2005-1 (Serenity). Councilmember Budcley inquired why page 192 of 225 only had dates listed and no amounts. Administrative Services Directar Pressey indicated that was a preliminary official statement. Councilmember Buclcley inquired if Council was in a position with the Item to require KB Homes to consult with Northwest Mosquito Vector Control District on the design of the facility. City Attorney Leibold stated that she thought Council would have an opportunity in connection with the permitting to require the consultation. Mayor Magee indicated that the project had been approved before he was a part of Council. He noted that he had received numerous complaints regarding the builder. He further noted that builder had not complied with the City's Conditions of Approval. He applauded staff for standing firm with respect to Conditions of Approval in the requirements necessary before the applicant received a Certificate of Occupancy.

Mr. Bloomfield noted that local history was also taken into consideration. Mr. Bloomfield noted that part of their thought process was to include an "E" or an initial for the City as part of the graphia He further noted that there was also thought given to an icon or visual graphic that would represent the City without the name Lake Elsinore or any other reading components. Mr. Bloomfield stated that it was their feeling that the final brand should be bold, fresh but timeless, provide a platform for centralized branding and Agenda Item No. Page Of Page Three - Study Session Minutes - February 23, 2006 offer an association of a wide variety of uses; as well as be clear and easy to reproduce. Mr. Bloomfield noted that the slogan should communicate a compelling feeling or story. Mr. Bloomfield noted that the City seal had been mentioned in terms of consideration for development. He indicated that it would be retained in certain limited usage that would be primarily for official business purposes. Mr. Bloomfield gave an overview of the current images that were being used for the City. Mr. Bloomfield stated that monuments were somewhat drab and usually consisted of deteriarating materials. He noted that monuments tend to convey a cold or institutional impression. Mr. Bloomfield noted that there were various versions and colors being used for street, park and facility signs. Mr. Bloomfield proposed a new logo and slogan for the City. Mr. Bloomfield noted that the new logo could be printed on color-matched stickers to put over street signs and other items displaying the City's logo. Mr. Bloomfield noted that a lot of time was spent on coming up with a slogan. He further noted that "Dream Extreme" was the slogan that they had been talking about and working on. He stated that it was felt that it represented the City well due to the sports and businesses brought to the City. Ken Vinson, Branding Advisory Panel, noted that he was a part of Castle & Cooke and stated that it had been a pleasure to be part of the Branding Advisory Panel. He stated the reasons why he liked the slogan "Dream Extreme". He noted that the word "Dream" meant opportunity for individuals and "Extreme" meant not limit your dreams.

Cindy Hewison, Branding Advisory Panel, noted that she enjoyed working on the panel. She noted that there was a possibility, years from now, that people would recognize that the "E" in the logo would stand for Lake Elsinore as compared to the swoosh sign for Nike. Mr. Bloomfield presented other options and ideas. He noted that many fonts and shapes were reviewed. He noted that the goal with the logo was to provide something that suggested motion, energy, water and air. He presented 4 different container shapes for the logo. Mr. Bloomfield presented the proposed logo on clothing, hats and key chains. Mr. Bloomfield noted that if it was determined that he and the Branding Advisory Panel were on the right course he would make minor refinements as needed, create the CISG manual, develop final art files for initial applications and proposed immediate uses. Mr. Bloomfield noted that his proposed implementation in the next 6 months would be to create a corporate package, letterhead, business cards, newsletter masthead, brochure templates, preliminary marketing materials, tradeshow exhibit and collateral, illuminated street signs, park signs and City vehicles. He proposed to implement street signs in the next 9 months. He further proposed to implement a new interactive City website in the next year. Lastly, he proposed marquees, freeway and major retail center signage in the next 2 years. Mr. Bloomfield noted that he was finished with his presentation and welcomed Council to express their comments. Agenda Item No. Page Of Page Five - Study Session Minutes - February 23, 2006 Councilmember Hickman stated that he liked the presentation and the slogan. He noted that all of his questions were answered with the presentation. Councilmember Kelley stated that she liked the slogan. She noted that she felt strongly that the logo should display a"L" and an "E" because the City's name is Lake Elsinore. She requested samples of logos with "LE" in it. Mr. Bloomfield noted that the "LE" logo was problematic. He noted that "E" was the primary component of the name for Lake Elsinore. He noted that the "E" separated the City from other cities with lakes such as Lake Perris and Lake Tahoe. Allison Norkin, Branding Advisory Panel, noted the reasons why she felt the "E" worked better alone. Councilmember Kelley inquired if there were other samples of the logo that the Branding Advisory Panel got a chance to review. Mr. Cousins noted that they reviewed various versions of the logo. Ms. Norkin noted that they reviewed different emblems. Councilmember Kelley noted that she liked the mountain and the water representation used in the logo. Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner stated that he agreed with Councilmember Kelley in respect to the City being referred to as Lake Elsinore. He noted that he understood the difficulty with the "LE". He commented that he liked what he had seen. Councilmember Buckley stated that the container with the shoulders around the "E" logo worked better. He noted the tear in the "x" of the slogan Dream Extreme. Agenda Item No. Page Of Page Six - Study Session Minutes - February 23, 2006 Mr. Bloomfield indicated that the tear in the "x" was to emphasize the extreme component. Councilmember Buckley inquired if the tear took away from the sleekness of the entire slogan. Mayor Magee thanked the panel and Information/Communications Manager Dennis for their time and involvement. He stated that the logo was nice and commented that it reflected the time and effort put into the work. He commented that placing stickers of the logo on the street signs was a good idea. He noted that the Council needed a budget plan for the proj ect. He stated that he trusted the panel with whatever the final logo turned out to be. He noted that there were Councilmembers who had opinions on things that he thought could be incorporated. He requested that the item be brought back formally for the 2°d meeting in March for approval and adoption to move forward. He indicated that he looked for concurrence from the Council. He requested that the Councilmembers who had ideas or opinions on the logo convey their thoughts to the panel. He indicated that he would be fine with however that ended up. He noted that he felt the product was gorgeous and he was thrilled with what had been presented. Councilmember Buckley requested clarification if Council would be taking a vote at the March 28`~` meeting to adopt a plan for phase 1, along with CISG and a budget plan. Mayor Magee requested clarification on what CISG stood for. Councilmember Buckley indicated that CISG stood for Corporate Identity Standards Guide. Mr. Cousins noted that any branding needed to be clear and concise. He stated that a simple solution for the park signs would be to take them down. He noted that they were trying to look at solutions for implementation that included a smart approach to getting the branding on City vehicles and billboards. Agenda Item No. Page Of Page Seven - Study Session Minutes - February 23, 2006 Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner noted that he liked the representation of the mountains and the water on the logo. Councilmember Buckley suggested putting the logo on the back of the City trucks to make people more familiar. Councilmember Buckley suggested that Information/Communications Manager Dennis and City Attorney Mann workout the trademark issue. Information/Communications Manager Dennis noted that early approval to adopt the concept would allow for them to take the steps necessary to protect the rights of the images. Mayor Magee requested that staff and the Branding Advisory Panel submit the complete logo package (including the trademark issues), the timing and implementation schedule (including the steps, dates, times, etc.) and a budget for the March 28, 2006 City Council Meeting.

He indicated that Verizon had successfully interconnected with other cable providers in the past. He stated that Verizon had not successfully negotiated an interconnection agreement with Comcast.

He noted that the relationship between Verizon and KZSW was a content arrangement. He further noted that Verizon's Franchise Agreement was not the proper place to address Verizon's content arrangements with KZSW. He stated that Verizon had reached an agreement with KZSW. Mayor Magee stated that the Item needed to be continued until that information was presented to the Council. He indicated that he felt that the matter was significant enough to include KZSW or to continue the Item until the Council had a level of insurance that both Verizon and Comcast would be able to carry the channel. Mayor Magee indicated that Comcast had maintained a local office in the community. He noted that a local office was very important to the residents. He indicated that he was disappointed that Verizon was not contemplating the same investment in the City. Mayor Magee noted that an agreement with Comcast and Verizon regarding the transmission of the Council meetings and other PEG programs was critical. He noted that an agreement between the 2 cable companies should be executed before the agreement with the City went forward. Mayor Magee indicated that written notification had been received from the Southwest EDC recommending approval of the item. He noted that nothing had been received from Comcast. He indicated that Administrative Services Director Pressey stated that Comcast had agreed to work with Verizon on the broadcast of the Council meetings.

Authorization to prepare CEQA compliance documents for Specific Plan Amendment, Residential Design Review No. R-2005-27, Tentative Tract Map No. 34346 and CUP 2005-26 for Mission Trail Condominium Complex (Ari Lake Elsinore LLC). Leonard Leichnitz, LLTNfOS Communities, commented that John Laing Homes spent an estimated 4 years on their master plan for the back basin. He noted that his company had invested more than 2 years of man hours and consulting fees trying to plan an attractive master-planned community. He noted that there were approximately 120 acres along Mission Trail that were not part of LUMOS Communiries or John Laing Homes. He noted that out of the 120 acres on Mission Trail, 40 of those acres were owned by Alesco who was planning a retail project. He noted that he had spoken to most of the owners for the remaining 80 acres and each of them had indicated to him their intention to Agenda Item No. Page Of PAGE 5 STUDY SESSION MINUTES - APRIL 25, 2006 come before Council to request a zone change to R-3 so they could put high- density condominiums. Mr. Leichnitz indicated that he realized the item before Council was in relation to approval to prepare CEQA compliance documents. He noted that he had no objection with the City and the developer working together to look at the environmental impacts of development. He indicated that he wanted to focus Council and staff's attention on 2 issues. First, he inquired what the City wanted those 80 acres to look like along Mission Trail. He indicated that under the current Eastlake Specific Plan, virtually all of that area was zoned for R-1. He noted that some part of it was zoned for R-2, which included the nursery parceL He noted that the nursery parcel was currently zoned far 7.8 dwelling units per acre under the existing East Lake Specific Plan. He noted that he did not have a problem with a good quality condominium project. He asked Council and staff to develop a vision for that area and to anticipate the consideration of other land owners far that area coming forward to request R-3 zoning. Mr. Leichnitz noted that another concern he had was circulation. He noted that John Laing Homes and LUMOS Communities were going to be spending a lot of money upgrading intersections at Mission Trail. He noted that this concerned him since there was supposed to be a 4-lane artery and he would rather not have a whole bunch of driveways from the 80 acres on to Mission Trail. He indicated that the last application for this item that he had seen had 2 driveways for every possible development. He noted that under the current East Lake Specific Plan there is a street that parallels Mission Trail behind where that development would be occurring; which would dissect each one of those parcels. He noted that he suspected that each one of those developers would want to come forward and indicate that they did not want to build that street in the middle of their project. He noted that the first time that staff or Council allows one developer to do that; it would be the last time that circulation, which was currently a part of the plan, would be feasible. Mr. Leichnitz noted that he wanted to bring those issues forward to Council. He noted that he was sure that Council would give wise consideration to the issues he addressed. Agenda Item No. Page Of PAGE 6 STUDY SESSION MINUTES - APRIL 25, 2006 Councilmember Hickman noted that Mr. Leichnitz brought up a good point. He commented on what the view would be like if condominiums lined Mission Trail. Mayor Magee commented on the proposed project of apartments near Summerhill. He noted that he thought that the residents of that area would be upset due to the proposed density by the landowner. Mayor Magee indicated that Item No. 32 was before Council to support the selection of a consultant to prepare CEQA compliance documents. He noted that he trusted staff would relay this conversation to the applicant. Councilmember Buckley inquired, if CEQA compliance documents were approved, if Council could add direction to the project for going forward as part of the approval. City Attorney Leibold noted that other than relaying those concerns, she did not believe that any mandatory condition relating to the proposed project was appropriate. She noted that the property owner could apply for a land use ~ entitlement. She noted that the City was obligated to process that entitlement application. She noted that this step allowed for the environmental evaluation of ali significant environmental impacts. She noted that the Council and the Planning Commission would have an opportunity to review the environmental documentation and determine its adequacy and to evaluate the underlying project compatibility and appropriateness for the property. Councilmember Buckley noted that senior homes would be a good location for that area. He noted that the street that Mr. Leichnitz spoke of would connect 3 or 4 properties to have one light. City Attorney Leibold noted that Councilmember Buckley's comments had to do with project design, environmental analysis and appropriate mitigation measure to eliminate or mitigate to a level of insignificance any potential impacts. She noted that the item before Council was not a land use issue. She noted that other than Council's desire to convey its concerns about the proposal, there was not much more that Council could do in terms of any sort of mandatory condition or limitation relating to the project in the context of its approval of the consultant contract to prepare CEQA analysis. Agenda Item No. . Page Of PAGE 7 STUDY SESSION MINUTES - APRIL 25, 2006 Councilmember Buckley noted that if the proposed project bothered Council, they did not have to approve it. City Attorney Leibold noted that the developer pays for the environmental analysis. She noted that Councilmember Buckley was making a land-use decision. She noted that other than conveying concerns, if the developer or the property owner wanted to pursue a project that the Council had outwardly expressed concerns about - it would be inappropriate to shut it down at this point. Councilmember Hickman commented that he did not want to see the condos there and did not want the properiy owner to waste their money preparing CEQA compliance documents. City Attorney Leibold noted that the decision was up to the property owner. She noted that staff may want to convey Council's conversation on the Item to the property owner. City Manager Brady indicated that the conversation would be conveyed. Councilmember Kelley noted that the overall General Plan needed to be addressed. She noted that Mr. Leichnitz noted some valid points. Councilmember Buckley noted that he was sure Council would be hearing from the property owner regarding the concerns that were addressed. He noted that it was Council's job to make sure they make the correct decision for the City. Mayor Magee noted that the properly was within the East Lake Specific Plan which allowed for high-density residential at the Council's discretion. City Manager Brady indicated that there was a land use amendment that would have to be made by an amendment to the East Lake Specific Plan. Councilmember Buckley inquired what the point would be for going through with Item No. 32 based on Council's conversation. Agenda Item No. Page Of PAGE 8 STUDY SESSION MINUTES - APRIL 25, 2006 City Attorney Leibold noted that it was a business decision. She indicated that the property owner had the right to request the City to consider a specific plan amendment. She noted that they could not submit that request without having adequately evaluated the potential environment impacts which was the purpose for the agenda item. 33.

He noted that it would create a need for more office space. He noted that it created energy for other entities to be drawn to that location. Last, he mentioned Chaney and Highway 74 area.
