(F:1l4.13)
Lake & Aquatic Resources Kilroy indicated that the City staff was pleased
to bring forward a proposal for a plan to invest $17 million in the
Campground facility. He indicated that the concessionaire had done a great
job in operating a very old facility. He introduced Chet Roberts, President
of Pyramid Enterprises, for an overview of the proposal.
Mr. Roberts indicated that this discussion would culminate two years of
negotiations with City staff, and they were pleased to come before the
Council to provide an overview of the project. He indicated that they
Page Eighteen - City Council Minutes - January 25, 2005
-
would proceed in three phases, to maintain the continuity of the facility
throughout the development phase. He detailed the proposed
improvements including 160 full hook-up sites, a recreation center,
swimming pool, realignment of the entrance, tennis courts and a dry storage
area. He commented on the sensitivity of the tree situation and indicated
that they would preserve the existing trees where possible. He indicated
that they will work to create an environment that is much safer for the
campers. He commended City staff on their two years of negotiations and
thanked them for their efforts.
Lake & Aquatic Resources Director Kilroy requested that the City Attorney
highlight the details of the agreement.
City Attorney Leibold indicated that there would be a $17 million
investment over a period of up to three years. She indicated that upon
completion, a new financial arrangement would come into effect for 5% of
the gross receipts, with a minimum of $150,000 for the first five years. She
advised that the term was for 40 years, and the City had a buy out provision
based on the unamortized value of the improvements. She indicated that it
was a long term agreement with the improvements coming through the
standard City entitlement process. She noted that one of the key
improvements was the realignment of the entrance with Lincoln Avenue.
-
City Treasurer Weber questioned the track record of the concessionaire on
a project of this type and their successes. Lake & Aquatic Resources
Director Kilroy noted that they were teaming with a developer that had done
a number of projects. He also noted that a completion bond would be
required as insurance, with a check for $50,000 up-front and the completion
bond for the $17 million. City Treasurer Weber inquired if they had done a
project of this size before. Mr. Roberts indicated that they had not, as this
would be a five star resort; but stressed that his career was operating
campgrounds, so he brought good experience to the project. City
Treasurer Weber inquired into the biggest project they had done. Mr.
Roberts indicated that he manages about 200 campgrounds across the
United States, but they have not been involved in one nearly this size. City
-
Page Nineteen - City Council Minutes - January 25, 2005
Treasurer Weber indicated that people usually want to do some verification
of dollars involved in a project of this size. He indicated that he did not
think there had been any audit of the receipts coming in; and suggested
verification would be more prudent for the City, than going into this
arrangement based on trust. He suggested that there was a need to know
the potential capabilities of the campground. He questioned who had
looked at the numbers to make sure they made sense.
Mayor Magee questioned the concessionaire's track record over the last
three years. Lake & Aquatic Resources Director Kilroy indicated that when
the City operated the facility it was loosing about $160,000 a year, and it
was flooded. He further indicated that when Pyramid took over the boat
launch became operational and the City had received about $30,000 a year.
Mayor Magee inquired if there had been an audit of those books. Lake &
Aquatic Resources Director Kilroy indicated that there had not been a
formal audit, but the City received monthly statements. City Attorney
Leibold commented that each of the monthly statements was in order and
there had been no cause for a formal audit. She stressed that there were
specific requirements for maintenance of the books and records, including
the requirement that they use a CPA to provide audited financial statements.
She advised that she and the Administrative Services Director had reviewed
the plan and felt very comfortable with their performance to date. She
indicated that it was viewed as a mutually beneficial plan.
Mayor Magee inquired if the City Treasurer felt more comfortable based on
this information. City Treasurer Weber indicated that from a business
standpoint it should have been audited up-front. He commented that it was
good it was in the contract, but he was not sure why it was not done in the
beginning to understand the status. He questioned if there had been
adequate due diligence in that this was the first time the developer was
doing a project of this type. He indicated that he trusted staff's judgment,
but it would be good to verify.
Page Twenty - City Council Minutes - January 25, 2005
-
Councilman Buckley commented that the City would get more money out of
this plan than it was currently receiving.
City Attorney Leibold noted that due diligence was conducted. Mr. Roberts
introduced Fred Rice, who had the experience of doing this type of
development.
Fred Rice, indicated that he had been in the development arena for 35 years,
and noted that in 1995-98, he did a $150 million project in Nevada. He
indicated that most of his projects are single family residences in the $20 to
$50 million range. He indicated that he owns two mobile home parks, and
this is not a large project for him. He stressed that he is capable of building
and operating a project of this size.
Mayor Magee noted that Mr. Rice was the Development arm and Mr.
Roberts was the Management arm, and they were joining efforts on this
project. He noted that they were making a considerable investment in
the community.
-
Councilwoman Kelley commented that over the years, when there was an
interest in overhauling the campground, there was a concern for the tent
camping area. She noted that the boy scouts frequently used the area and
she was very concerned with the preservation of that area for tent camping.
Mr. Roberts confirmed that they would preserve an area for the boy scouts,
which would be affordable, but closer to the lake.
MOVED BY BUCKLEY, SECONDED BY SCHIFFNER TO APPROVE THE
CONCESSION AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO
EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT SUBJECT TO ANY MINOR
MODIFICATIONS AS MAY BE APPROVED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY.
Mayor Pro Tern Schiffner indicated that he was looking forward to seeing
the project started and completed. He commented that he was happy to
have them here. -
Page Twenty-One - City Council Minutes - January 25, 2005
Mayor Magee noted that this was a $1 7 million investment for tourist
recreation oriented business over the course of three years, which would
make a dramatic impact on the valley. He suggested that it would fire the
community's economic motor, and commended staff and the City Attorney
on an excellent job. He noted that while the agreement was for 40 years,
there was a buy-out provision.
THE FOREGOING MOTION CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.
32. Final Plan to Rehabilitate the Boat Launch Facility at the LERA
Campground. (F: 114.13)(X:92.1)
Lake & Aquatic Resources Director Kilroy noted that this was a request for
direction for rehabilitation of the facility. He explained that the facility was
built in the mid-1960's and was overdue for rehabilitation. He reminded
Council that the City had received a $3 million grant, which would cover
%'s of the total project amount, but not the improvements to the adjacent
peninsula. He indicated that to insure operational safety of the shoreline, it
had been considered by the Public Safety Advisory Commission and they
recommended four different options. He detailed the options, and indicated
the options were reviewed by Noble Consultants, who recommended option
2 for functionality. He explained that the project would consist of floating
docks/breakwater system, removal of a portion of the peninsula, with the
remaining portion of the peninsula graded and contoured to take out any
abrupt grades. He advised that it would include a 425 foot dock, anchored
by pilings~ which would serve as a visible barrier. He indicated that the
Public Safety Advisory Commission had reviewed the recommendation on
January It\ but had several concerns. He stressed that the criteria was
safety to swimmers and boaters, and staff had recommended consideration
of no breakwater at all, but some felt the breakwater was desirable. He
advised that the recommendation of plan 2, carried a total cost from $4.89
million to $5.2 million, depending on the cost of dredging and fill material.
He indicated that staff had set aside $909,000 in the Capital Improvement
Budget, but would require up to an addition $1.3 million. He noted other
Page 1\venty-1\vo - City Council Minutes - January 25, 2005
-
possible options for funding and recommended concurrence with the Public
Safety Advisory Commission recommendation for option 2, with staff being
directed to investigate other funding sources.
Councilman Buckley noted that he had requested consideration of this item
after the Concession Agreement, so there would be a new revenue stream.
He suggested approving the project with funding from Capital or the new
revenues from the campground itself.
Councilman Hickman expressed concern with the needed $1.3 million, since
only $900,000 was in the budget. He noted the other needs for this year
such as Highway 74 infrastructure and the new fire station. He stressed the
need to come up with some creative financing, as other projects are more
important and budgets will get tight.
Mayor Pro Tern Schiffner addressed the concern for additional funds and
indicated that staff had several options for financing, as well as possible one
time revenue sources. He indicated that he did not see a great problem over
the two year period. He stressed that this was really needed to make the
operation worthwhile and address the safety issues at the same time. He
indicated that he was in favor of moving ahead.
-
Councilman Hickman indicated that he was in favor of the project, but
concerned with the financing.
Councilwoman Kelley commented that no one would argue that
transportation was a priority, but this action was directing staff to find a way
to finance the project. She stressed that they would have to identify the
funding source. She indicated that she was willing to assign that
responsibility and support the motion.
MOVED BY BUCKLEY, SECONDED BY HICKMAN TO SUPPORT
OPTION 2 AND DIRECT STAFF TO IDENTIFY FUNDING WITH
CAPITAL FUNDS OR CAMPGROUND CONCESSION REVENUE.

Page 1\venty- Three - City Council Minutes - January 25, 2005
Councilwoman Kelley questioned the use of the campground concession
money. Councilman Buckley clarified that it would be the income the
campground would be generating, due to the new agreement.
Councilwoman Kelley expressed concern with locking into something that
would not pan out, time wise. Administrative Services Director Pressey
inquired if there was any limitation on the capital funds. Councilman
Buckley clarified that staff should look at capital first, then concession
monies and general fund last.

that would tie staff up too tightly, but this proposal would not do that, as
capital is a broad category.

unallocated revenues. He noted that at the study session a concern was
raised regarding the 15/74 interchange; and indicated that had discussions
with Caltrans and they think they will be able to resolve that issue.

way, two thirds of that area. He indicated that the discussion was due to
Mr. O'Doherty's feeling that he was being damaged because of access and
aesthetics to his property. He indicated that they also discussed the plans. He

launch. He further indicated that staff had done a comparison between a City

rights would not be violated; and his name would be put on the mailing list and the
information would be sent to him. He further indicated that now there was a house
built along the side of his home and when he came out his front door or looked out
his windows, what used to be a beautiful view of the mountains was now the sight

opportunity to be a part of the project and everything seemed to have been

Page Five - City Council Minutes - March 8, 2005
about 11 inches of rainfall per year. He further explained that an abnormal

elements being the levee, outlet channel modifications, mitigation wetlands,
and riparian habitat. He detailed the project costs and design criteria,

information which adjusted the replenishment elevation allowances. He
presented a diagram of the overall Lake Management Project and explained
its components. He detailed the City's flood preparedness actions, and
noted that staff was sand-bagging four of the lowest properties around the
Lake. He advised that staff was working with other agencies to plan for
potential flooding problems and noted that sand-bags were available for
residents at the Public Works yard. He noted that the Seaport Boat Launch
would be reopening this Saturday.

Commissioners and Councilmembers impacts the credibility of the City. He
indicated that the benefit audit information being released early was incorrect and
wrong, and the person who did so should be reprimanded. He suggested that any

Assistance City Manager. He also suggested removal of the Health & Wellness
Policy.

museum. He noted the difficulty of getting things done, even without articles of
this type. He commented that mistakes were made in the past, but this was an
innocent mistake and should be corrected. He stressed the need for this facility
and noted that there was a meeting with the contractor, City management and City
Council representatives to review what needed to be done and the best way to
proceed.
Dick Knapp, commented on the outflow channel and Lake spillway. He noted the -
amount of silt between the Lake and the outflow channel and stressed the need to
clean it out before the next rain. He noted water being dumped down the outflow
channel by Eastern Water District and Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District.
He commended himself for informing the Council on these matters.
Pete Dawson, 18010 Grand Avenue, noted that there was still quite a bit of debris
in the Lake and suggested that it was a liability for the City. He noted cut trees on
the property near the military school which were floating into the Lake. He
stressed the liability and the potential threat to skiers. He noted that unmarked
fences needed to be reviewed to avoid future problems, and indicated that there
were also a number of autos and trailers on the County side near the water line.

5. Cultural Center Repair Recommendations. (F:48.1)
City Manager Brady noted that this item had been before the City Council
on February 8th to request additional funding for the basement of the
facility; and staff was directed to meet with the Historical Society and
Councilman Hickman. He indicated that staff did meet, and deferred to
Community Services Director Sapp for a report. Community Services
Director Sapp indicated that there was a meeting earlier this evening with
the Historical Society and the Contractor, with all issues being discussed
and everything being resolved. He advised that anything misunderstood
had been clarified and the project was ready to move forward with the same
costs proposed on February 8th. He advised that the Contractor was ready to

proceed, and CR & R would be donating bins for storage, so the
Contractor could move in and complete the project in 60 days. He
requested the allocation of funds and indicated that there was a benefit for
all in preserving the community's identity and history.
J.J. Swanson, President, Historical Society, reiterated that everyone met and
everything was set and clear. She indicated that they were very happy with
the situation, and were just waiting for approval this evening so they could
start work tomorrow. She clarified that the money requested was just to
bring the building to occupancy, and only improve the value of the City
owned facility. She stressed that they would be leasing the facility, and all
of the display items and research equipment would be purchased and
provided by them through donations and the hard work of the Society. She
stressed that this was not a request that the City give money to a club.

Page Thirteen - City Council Minutes - March 8, 2005
TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
MSHCP CONSISTENCY FINDINGS
1. The proposed project is a project under the City's MSHCP Resolution that must make an
MSHCP Consistency finding before approval.
Pursuant to the City's MSHCP Resolution, because the proposed project requires a
number of discretionary approvals from the City and is subject to CEQA review, it must
be reviewed for MSHCP consistency, which entails for the proposed project determining
whether it is subject to the City's LEAP process, consistent with the Protection of Species
Associated with Riparian/Riverine Areas and Vernal Pool Guidelines (MSHCP, ~ 6.1.2),
Protection of Narrow Endemic Plant Species Guidelines (MSHCP, ~ 6.1.3), Additional
Survey Needs and Procedures (MSHCP, ~ 6.3.2), Urban/Wildlands Interface Guidelines
(MSHCP, ~ 6.3.2), Vegetation Mapping (MSHCP, ~ 6.3.1) requirements, Fuels
Management Guidelines (MSHCP, ~ 6.4), and payment of the MSHCP Local
Development Mitigation Fee (MSHCP Ordinance, ~ 4).
2. The proposed project is subject to the Joint Project Review process.
According to the Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP), the footprint of the
project site is located within the Elsinore Area Plan. This Area Plan, the County's RCIP
Website (see http://www.rciv.org/maps.htm). and the (MSHCP) Conservation Summary
Report Generator Sheet for the Assessor Parcel Numbers (APN) identified on Attachment
#1 (see http://rcip.org/PDFlib/rciv/avn search.asv) show that the proposed project is
located within Subunit 4, Proposed Linkage 8 and comprises a portion of Independent
Cell No. 4745 of the Elsinore Area Plan and is subject to the City's Lake Elsinore's
Acquisition Process (LEAP) process. Further, proposed Linkage 8 is a major component
of one of the two main east-west connections between Core Areas in the Lake
Matthews/Estelle Mountain, Alberhill and Cleveland National Forest in the western
portion of the MSHCP Plan. As a result, the proposed project would be subject to the
Joint Project Review process.
3. The proposed project is consistent with the Riparian/Riverine Areas and Vernal Pools
Guidelines.
According to the Biological Assessment entitled "The Lakeview Villas Project Biological
Assessment", prepared by L & L Environmental on November 12, 2004, no riparian,
riverine, vernal pool/fairy shrimp habitat and other aquatic resources were identified on
the proposed project site. As a result, no further MSHCP analysis or conservation
Page Fourteen - City Council Minutes - March 8, 2005
-
measures are required The proposed project is therefore consistent with the
Riparian/Riverine Areas and Vernal Pools Guidelines.
4. The proposed project is consistent with the Protection of Narrow Endemic Plant Species
Guidelines.
According to the Biological Assessment entitled "The Lakeview Villas Project Biological
Assessment" prepared by L & L Environmental on November 12, 2004, the project site
does not fall within the Narrow Endemic Plant Species Survey Areas. Therefore, habitat
assessments and/or focused surveys are not required for Narrow Endemic Plant Species.
The proposed project is therefore consistent with the Protection of Narrow Endemic
Plant Species Guidelines.
5. The proposed project is consistent with the Additional Survey Needs and Procedures.
The project site falls within the Burrowing Owl Survey Area. However, it was
determined that the species is not expected to occur on-site due to the lack of suitable
habitat. To assure burrowing owls will not be impacted by project development, as a
condition of project approval, a pre-construction survey will be required before grading
to confirm the absence of burrowing owls, as required by the MSHCP. The project is
therefore consistent with the Additional Survey Needs Requirements.
6. The proposed project is consistent with the Urban/Wildlands Interface Guidelines.
Measures have been incorporated into the proposed project so that there will be no
project-related drainage, toxics, lighting, noise, invasives, barriers, and grading/land
development impacts to the Conservation Area. The proposed project is therefore
consistent with the UrbanIWildlands Interface Guidelines.
7. The proposed project is consistent with the Vegetation Mapping requirements.
The vegetation of the entire project site has been mapped This mapping is sufficient
under the MSHCP and is consistent with the MSHCP.
-
8. The proposed project is consistent with the Fuels Management Guidelines.
The proposed project has been designed to include landscape buffers near the proposed
MSHCP Conservation Area that will in essence act as Fuel Modification Zones. Within
these areas there will be fire-resistant, non-invasive plants. Accordingly, with these
measures, the proposed project is therefore consistent with the Fuels Management
Guidelines.
9. The proposed project will be conditioned to pay the City's MSHCP Local Development
Mitigation Fee.
-
-
Page Fifteen - City Council Minutes - March 8, 2005
As a condition of approval, the project will be required to pay the City's MSHCP Local
Development Mitigation Fee at the time of issuance of building permits. The current fee
for residential development with a density of less than 8.0 dwelling units per acre is
$1,651 per dwelling unit.
10. The proposed project overall is consistent with the MSHCP.
The proposed project complies and is consistent with all of the required procedures,
policies, and guidelines of the City's MSHCP Resolution and the MSHCP.

Charlene Cleary indicated that she was present as a representative of the Riverside
County Historical Commission, the Lake Elsinore Historical Society and herself.
She expressed concern for the deterioration of the military academy, and noted the
vandalism that was occurring. She advised that she had spoke with Lt. Koepp at
the Sheriff's Department and he had found limited calls in April, 2004, when the
alarm went off eight times. She indicated that there was an alarm system on the
premises, as well as motion detectors, however the Garrett Corporation had been
negligent in paying for alarm system monitoring. She commented that in the past
the concerns expressed to Council regarding historic buildings had been ignored,
and expressed hopes that the Council recognized that the military academy
building needed to be looked after.
J.J. Swanson-O'Neal, representing the Historical Society, indicated that she was
present regarding the naval academy. She noted that it was recently purchased by
a development company, but was currently sitting vacant and being vandalized
daily. She noted that three were broken windows and an important part of Lake
Elsinore history was being lost every day. She advised that the Garrett
Corporation was going to put up a fence around the building to keep this situation
from continuing. She requested that resident help to keep her informed of
Page Six - City Council Minutes - March 22, 2005
-
vandalism activity, to prevent further damage to this exquisite, beautiful, old
building.
Joel Hyatt, Project Manager for the Garret Group, San Diego, provided a brief
update on their plans, and noted that they were in the preliminary stages of
concepts for the site. He indicated that they own the academy and about 40
additional acres. He advised that they would be preserving the academy building,
and noted that to date they have spent over $200,000 on the project. He indicated
that they were studying the history of the building. He shared the concern with
vandalism and advised that he had been out there three times, but the vandals are
very aggressive. He further noted that the vandals had stolen the security system.
He reiterated that they would be putting up a construction fence around the
building immediately, but encouraged the Community to help by calling the police
when they see illegal activity. He stressed the need to keep the lines of
communication open and indicated that he would be providing update on the
planning process. He noted that he would be working with Ms. Swanson and the
Historical Society. Mayor Magee noted the $200,000 expended on the project
and requested that they invest in an alarm system. Mr. Hyatt indicated that they
would put up a fence and look at other ways to protect the facility.
-
Chris Hyland, 15191 Wavecrest, noted her first amendment rights and commented
that she would like the City to adopt an ordinance to stop people from parking
their boats on the streets. She stressed the danger they created for little children
riding bicycles. She noted an incident in the newspaper, where a little boy was
hit when he appeared from behind a boat on a scooter. She noted that a boat had
been parked in her neighborhood for about a year, and suggested a prohibitive
ordinance would be beneficial to the City. She noted that people also tend to
park motor homes for weeks at a time. She reiterated her request for adoption of
an ordinance, stressing the importance for the welfare of children.

City Clerk Kasad reported correspondence from Greenwald, LLC and
Tuscany Hills Landscape & Recreation Corporation regarding this project,
had been distributed to the City Council for review.

resident for about 6 years. He expressed concern after the Planning
Commission presentation that Centex was going to try to opt out of the
existing HOA of about 700-800 other homeowners. He stressed that
another association might have the ability to do different things. He
indicated that the builders had worked very closely with the Association to
date, and the homeowners and builders were happy with the developments.
He requested that the same situation continue to allow for consistency and
continuity within the specific plan.

the existing Homeowners Associations. Mayor Magee clarified this point,
and Planning Manager Preisendanz reiterated that there was an agreement.
Page lWelve - City Council Minutes - March 22, 2005
-
Ed Sauls, 742 Summit Drive, Laguna Beach, spoke on behalf of Greenwald,
LLC, in support of the project. He noted an area of generosity on the part
of Centex, but suggested that there was the potential for misunderstanding.
He pointed out issues with the Multi-Species Plan, and noted that there was
an interest in a connection between Ramsgate and some of the existing
properties. He indicated that the Greenwald property could be developed
and was not needed as part of the conservation. He explained that Centex,
outside the MSHCP, had agreed to dedicate property as open space; and
indicated that while it was generous, it was not required.
David Lewis, 29 Corte Madera, indicated that he didn't see a problem with
bringing Centex into the community. He noted that there had been no
problems with this type of action to date.
James Hunt, 1 Corte Straza, President, Tuscany Hills Landscape &
Recreation Corporation, noted the letter sent by the Board, and indicated
that the only concern was bringing Centex into the HOA. He inquired if
there was a need to change Resolution No. 2005-33, Condition No. 15,
which reads that the project "shall annex into the HOA or shall initiate
formation of a HOA". He suggested that it should be changed to just
annexation.
-
Vida Boice, 17 Ponte Negra, noted that they were very concerned at the
Planning Commission meeting, with the possibility that this project would
not be included in the HOA. She expressed understanding that they were
now in agreement with joining the HOA, but indicated if it was not that way,
she would not be very happy living there. She stressed that it was a master
planned area, and she bought it with the understanding that it would
continue to be planned and part of the HOA. She commented that based on
this understanding, she would be happy to welcome them into Tuscany
Hills, but stressed her desire to maintain the fine reputation of Tuscany Hills
in the area.
Councilman Hickman noted that he was also a resident of Tuscany Hills,
-
Page Thirteen - City Council Minutes - March 22, 2005
and indicated that this project will put in a baseball park, and a traffic light
at Via Strada and Summerhill, as well as a Recreation Center. He reiterated
that they would be joining the HOA, and noted that Summerhill would be
completed in two phases. He indicated that his concern was with the
signage and monuments being in compliance and consistent with the rest of
Tuscany Hills. Chris Holmquist, representing Centex, indicated that he
believed that would be possible. Councilman Hickman questioned the
name of the development. Mr. Holmquist indicated that had not been
determined, but would be up to the company's marketing people. He
expressed appreciation to the Council for their support and to the HOA for
their support. He also thanked the City staff and planners at HDR.
Councilman Hickman thanked Mr. Holmquist for his work with the HOA.
Mayor Magee addressed Condition No. 15, as referenced by Mr. Hunt, and
inquired if staff had a comfort level with it as it existed or if it should be
edited. City Manager Brady concurred that it could be edited, but noted
that the applicant had already agreed to annex to the existing HOA. Mayor
Magee also indicated that Condition No. 85 should read subject to approval
of "City Council", not "Community Services Director". He commended
Centex for rescuing another map with lots below 4,000 square feet and
making them an average of 8,000 square feet, with nothing under 5,000
square feet. He noted that they did the same thing in this area, that they did
with Ramsgate, to increase the lot sizes and overall value.
MOVED BY HICKMAN, SECONDED BY MAGEE TO APPROVE THIS
PROJECT AS PRESENTED WITH AMENDMENTS TO CONDITIONS 15
AND 85.
City Attorney Leibold requested that the City Council approve each portion
of this item by separate vote, as detailed in the staff report.

Page Nineteen - City Council Minutes - March 22, 2005
1. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvements,
is consistent with the City of Lake Elsinore General Plan. The proposed subdivision is
compatible with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the
General Plan (Government Code Section 66473.5).
a. The design of the proposed subdivision and density of 2.19 dwelling units per
acre are consistent with the Tuscany Hills Specific Plan, and therefore with the
General Plan. The proposed subdivision reduces the number of dwelling units
originally proposed for this area from 906 dwelling units to 807. Thusly, the
density is reduced from 2.61 dwelling units per acre which was originally
approved.
b. The project proposes single family residential lots ranging in size from 5,000
square feet to 24,100 square feet, with an average lot size of 8,131 square feet.
The minimum lot size originally approved in the Specific Plan call for 4,000
square feet in the south portion, and 5,000 square feet in the north portion. The
proposed map meets this minimum.

development in accordance with the General Plan.
a. The overall density proposed by this project is consistent with the originally
approved Specific Plan.
b. The map provides open space areas that protect the natural topography and views.
3. The effects that this project is likely to have upon the housing needs of the region, the
public service requirements of its residents and the available fiscal and environmental
resources have been considered and balanced.
a. The project is consistent with the City's General Plan. During the approval of
City's General Plan, housing needs, public services and fiscal resources were
scrutinized to achieve a balance within the City.
b. The map has been conditioned to annex into Community Facilities District 2003-1
to offset the annual negative fiscal impacts of the project on public safety
operations and maintenance issues in the City.
c. The map has been conditioned to annex into Lighting and Landscape Maintenance
District No.1 to offset the annual negative fiscal impacts of the project on public
Page Twenty - City Council Minutes - March 22, 2005
-
right-of-way landscaped areas to be maintained by the City, and for street lights in
the public right-of-way for which the City will pay for electricity and a
maintenance fee to Southern California Edison.
4. The proposed division requires the adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations
pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act compliance. The Planning Commission
recommends the adoption of the Statement prepared for this project.
5. The design of the proposed division of land or type of improvements are not likely to
cause serious public health problems.
a. Tentative Tract Map No. 31370 is conditioned to comply with all development
standards of Amendment No. 1 to the Tuscany Hills Specific Plan. These
standards have been reviewed and recommended for approval to benefit the public
health, safety and welfare.
6.
The design of the proposed division of land or the type of improvements will not conflict
with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property
within the proposed division of land.
-
a. All known easements or requests for access have been incorporated into
Tentative Tract Map No. 31370.

FINDINGS - TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP
10. The proposed subdivision, together with the provIsIons for its design and
improvement, is consistent with the General Plan. The proposed subdivision is
compatible with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in
the General Plan (Government Code Section 66473.5).
The parcel map as designed assists in achieving the development of a well-balanced
and functional mix of residential, commercial, industrial, open space, recreational and
institutional land uses (GOAL 1.0, Land Use Element) by encouraging the
development of commercial land uses that strengthen the City's economic base and
offer a range of enterprises that serve the needs of the residents and visitors.
11. The effects this project is likely to have upon the housing needs of the region, the
public service requirements of its residents and the available fiscal and
environmental resources have been considered and balanced.
The City has considered the need for day-to-day shopping, which includes convenience
goods, food and personal services, in contrast to the impacts related to the project's
implementation and has determined that there are overriding considerations that
outweigh the one (1) unavoidable significant impact (air quality).
12. Subject to the attached conditions of approval, the proposed project is not

34. Final Report on the Results of the Benefit Audit and Sub-Committee
Recommendations for Action. (F: 116.1)
Mayor Magee explained that this report was as a result of a sub-committee
formed in June, 2004. He noted that the audit specifically looked at July 1,
2003 to June 30, 2004. He advised that following the audit he and
Councilman Buckley prepared the staff report, with several
recommendations for action this evening. He noted that they had
suggested referring most of the items to the City Manager for a new series
of policies and procedures. He commented that the audit ultimately found
that when procedures were in place and were followed, they worked;
however in some cases, there simply were no procedures. He indicated that
the intent was to go forward in a positive manner.
-
City Manager Brady indicated that staff appreciated the opportunity to
review the audit and provide input. He advised that staff was currently
reviewing the audit and preparing additional information, which they felt
would compliment the information in the audit, and provide a more
complete and clear picture. He noted that many of the internal controls and
procedures had already been put in place. He advised that the intention was
that receipts would be required to be turned in, much more stringently in the
past. He indicated that if anyone looked at an expenditure, they could see
the approval and the expenditure for the whole transaction, so it could now
be followed more completely. He indicated that there would be travel
policies for reimbursement, where the Ctiy was now following the State per
diem policy. He explained that a complete description of the conference,
cost of the conference to be approved by the department head, and cost for
mileage based on the Mapquest service. He noted that the comparison
between airfare and mileage would also be required in the future, and the
reimbursement would be at the lesser rate. He further noted that if a
-
Page Sixty-Nine - City Council Minutes - March 22, 2005
conference provides a meal, the per diem will be reduced accordingly. He
advised that people attending conferences will need to provide a written
summary of the conference and the benefits of attending the conference.
He indicated that in terms of the leave requirements, each department, now
has a person that must compare time sheets with leave requests. He noted
the use of City credit cards, and indicated that documentation is critical and
the Administrative Services Department was looking at the back-up
documentation. He also noted that if there are other people involved in the
use of the credit card, those people will need to be identified. He indicated
that if any charges are not appropriate, they will need to be repaid by the
card holder. He commented that there was a general concern about the
audit when it was initiated, but at this time, there was an appreciation of
what it identified. He stressed that some of the changes had already been
initiated, and noted that the burden was on the Administrative Services
Department to track the documentation. He indicated that staff was
preparing a response and would make it available when it was ready.
Mayor Magee reminded the Council that he wanted to amend the
recommendation on City credit cards to add a provision that purchases were
for City related items and expenditures only, not for other businesses.
Bill Tiitto inquired if the audit had reviewed all 1,400 records, as discussed
in the newspaper. He also inquired if the bonus program had been deleted,
and if the money could be recouped that had been overcharged and was not
reasonable. He questioned how much money was involved, and how much
was marginal or illegal, etc. He also questioned why when the Grand Jury
called for an audit in 2001 or 2002, it was bypassed.
Donald Ash requested that the public address system be turned up so the
audience could hear what was going on. He indicated that complaints
against the City Council and Management had been ignored. He addressed
a report that wrongdoing had been going on for years. He commented that
there was a City Manager that did not take care of the needs of the
community and a Council that did not care about the taxpayers of the
Page Seventy - City Council Minutes - March 22, 2005
-
community. He commented that the Council finally woke up to the fact that
they needed to get rid of the City Manager, but appointed one of his chief
deputies, who was part of the "fifedom" of the City Manager that had been
going on for years. He stressed the need for the City to protect the
taxpayers' money. He suggested that this audit highlighted what he called
stealing the taxpayers' money. He suggested that City staff members were
thieves and suggested that Mayor Magee wake up and get the money back
from the people who had robbed the taxpayers.
Sam Romero indicated that he had an opportunity to review the audit and
found some questionable items. He suggested that when the Council is
looking at funding for streets, people should be looked at to refund money
to the City. He addressed page 36, item no. 5, a $450 expenditure for
truffles. He also noted page 60, item no. 7, a trip to Washington D.C. He
questioned how many days were involved in the meeting, and who and how
many attended. He also noted a $32 expenditure for liquor and a $20 tip.
He noted that there was a reimbursement for meals, as well as per diem. He
inquired when the last audit was done and how many other elected officials
and staff members benefit from the trip. He suggested that past actions
could not be put in the past, but it was possible to correct them and move
forward. He indicated that whether one was a friend of the old City
manager or not was immaterial. He indicated he felt the City Manager
could help the Council and the City to rectify these problems in the future.
-
City Treasurer Weber indicated that he had time to thoroughly review the
audit; and commented that it was very difficult circumstances for the
committee to move this forward. He commented that it took a lot of
strength and courage to move it forward. He expressed appreciation for
their efforts. He suggested that it was apparent that City Manager
Watenpaugh just didn't care what was happening, because everyone had
their hand in the kitty. He further suggested that people on staff needed to
do some soul searching on what they spent money on and if it was for the
City's benefit. He suggested that many things were of no benefit to the
City and he would like to see staff evaluate themselves and past behaviors
-
Page Seventy-One - City Council Minutes - March 22, 2005
and consider giving a check back to the City. He indicated that it would be
used for the benefit of the City, not the staff members. He noted that
another audit would be very expensive, so he would do an audit on every
person, for the last two years and forward it to Council for review. He
expressed hopes that staff members would just give some money back. He
indicated that there was a need for trust before moving forward. He
thanked the sub-committee for moving this item forward and stopping what
was going on. He expressed pride in their efforts.
Councilman Hickman inquired if this was where the Council should make
recommendations or if it should be done later. Mayor Magee indicated that
the recommendation was made to go back to the City Manager for a new
package in time for the adoption of the new budget. Councilman Hickman
questioned if it was time to go through the policies. He addressed the
credit cards and noted most people do not have company credit cards. He
indicated that he would like to see the elimination of credit cards. He noted
an incident he encountered previously with a representative spending
$30,000; and indicated since then everyone had to use their own credit
cards. He suggested that if someone wanted reimbursement, they would
provide the receipts and save on headaches. He recommended that the
Treasurer, City Manager and City Council have them if they desired them;
and everyone else use their own. He indicated that travel or anything over
$400 should come to the Council for approval. He indicated that the City
Clerk with a credit card could make the arrangement and education could be
worked out. He indicated that he concurred with some of the
recommendations. He indicated that the car allowance should be tightened,
as not too many people had a car allowance to go to work.
MOVED BY SCHIFFNER, SECONDED BY MAGEE TO APPROVE THE
RECOMMENDATIONS AS PRESENTED.
Councilwoman Kelley commented that she would also approve of the
recommendations, but requested clarification. She indicated that she was
glad the audit was concluded, and had created standards to set up policies.
Page Seventy-1\vo - City Council Minutes - March 22, 2005
-
She noted the Conrad & Associates findings, and indicated that although the
policies and practices were not always followed during the year, they noted
no illegal activities, and did not identify any instances of fraud. She noted
that they offered improved internal controls, which were used as a
springboard for the committee. She indicated that it was time to move
ahead for both staff and the City. She clarified that on Item No.2, it would
need to be taken up with negotiations. Mayor Magee confirmed.
Councilwoman Kelley noted that the City Manager had the new
responsibility for drawing up new policies on everything from travel to per
diem to petty cash, and inquired if he had a comfort level with that. City
Manager Brady confirmed. Councilwoman Kelley indicated that she would
support the recommendations and noted that the vote was 5-0 to go out for
the audit; and stressed that the entire Council supported it and it was all
done.
Councilman Hickman addressed the recommendation for Health and
Wellness to be abolished immediately and indicated he hoped that was what
would come back. He indicated that he thought the committee did a good
job.
-
Mayor Magee noted that ultimately the City Council was responsible for the
spending of all public funds, but absent oversight the City Manager's Office
became the overseeing authority. He indicated at this point the Council was
here to recognize the errors and correct them. He noted that this would
require the Council to be more vigilant in their oversight.
THE FOREGOING MOTION CARRIED BY A VOTE OF 4 TO 0 WITH
BUCKLEY ABSENT TO APPROVE THE FOLLOWING
RECOMMENDATIONS:
· Due to a lack of proper implementation, the lack of any actual City
Council approval, the lack of oversight, and the significant difficulty in the
creation of future payment monitoring system, the Sub-Committee
recommends that the current Health and Wellness Program be abolished _
Page Seventy-Three - City Council Minutes - March 22, 2005
immediately. Pending a review by legal counsel, the City Council may
wish to implement a significantly scaled-back and tightly controlled
program that would be available to ALL City employees.
. That the City's employee leave policies and procedures be reviewed
internally to ensure that accrued leave hours match current policy. It is
also recommended that the City consider separating how vacation hours
(allowing them to be accrued from year-to-year up to a certain point) and
sick/floating/administrative leave hours are calculated. Said
sick/administrative/leave hours would not be eligible for accrual and
should not be eligible for "buy-out."
. That an employee who receives either a City vehicle or an automobile
allowance not be eligible for mileage reimbursement. Additionally, that
only employees who are consistently required to use an automobile for
work purposes be eligible for an auto allowance. Finally, that the City
designate one or two "pool cars" for use by employees for City business.
. That the City Manager's office draw up a new City travel policy consistent
with common practices in the industry and applicable state and federal
regulations. Said policy should include a transparent expense tracking
system and should disallow certain expense for events reasonably close to
the City of Lake Elsinore and/or the home of the employee. The policy
should also include specific annual budgeting requirements for City
Council and City Treasurer travel.
. That the City Manager's office create a new per diem eligibility policy
consistent with a new travel policy.
. That the City Manager's office create a new petty cash policy consistent
with common industry practices, including specifically a "two manager
approval" disbursement system, proper tracking, and strict limits on
expense eligibility.
Page Seventy-Four - City Council Minutes - March 22, 2005
-
· That all City credit cards be reduced to a $2,500 credit limit, that the use
of said credit cards be consistent with industry practice and state and
federal regulations, and that a new reporting/receipt system be created to
insure that all expenses are proper. It should be made clear that the new
policy shall include certain "type of expenditure" restrictions, such as
individual meals and/or stand-alone alcohol purchases. While the City
Manager or his/her designee may approve these expenditures, the City
Manager's expenses shall be reviewed and approved by the City Council.
· That the City not pay for such services and/or products as "On-Star" for
City vehicles, political publications ("The Limbaugh Letter"), and other
expenses clearly not related to City business.
· That staff comply with the requirements of policies that are currently in
place and not recommended for change (.i.e. Boot Reimbursement
program, Education Reimbursement, etc.).
-
· Direct staff to return with new policies and procedures in time to
incorporate them into the budget process for fiscal year 2005-06.
35. Sale of Real Property located at Silver and Minthorn to the Redevelopment
Agency. (F :48.1 )(X: 134.1)
City Attorney Leibold noted that the City owns 2.15 acres at Silver and
Minthorn, in Redevelopment Agency Project Area No.1. She explained
that this item would convey the property to the RDA for the appraised value.
She offered to answer any questions.

PUBLIC COMMENTS - NON-AGENDIZED ITEMS - 3 MINUTES
Donald Ash indicated that it was against the auditors Code of Ethics to render a
legal opinion; to the extent that the audit should be voided. He questioned why
the City couldn't take action against people who did something wrong. He
stressed that the Council was supposed to protect the taxpayers' money. He
indicated that honesty was not a high priority today, and suggested that it was
important to take a stand. He indicated that people were taking money they did
not deserve to have and stressed wrong things should be addressed, not ignored.

Page Seventy-Six - City Council Minutes - March 22, 2005
-
Wellness Benefits a few days before leaving. He noted that the policy was under
review and she should not have authorized the payment to herself. He indicated
that he was asking that she voluntarily return the funds; but noted that she might
or might not do so. He suggested that she needed to do some soul searching, as it
was inappropriate the day prior to her leaving. He expressed hopes that she
would see the error in her ways, and let conscience be her guide and cause her to
send it back. He indicated that she got paid well for what she did and expressed
hopes that she would send a check by March 31 st.

she had toured the facilities in Temecula and discussed the issue with
several people who received it well. She noted that several people

the budget session on March 29th. She advised that there should be a
presentation on the Agenda for Aprillih, and noted that she had

channel as an aquatic park. He advised that the contractor would be
providing liability insurance and 25% of all user fees received for the inlet
channel to the City. He noted that the City would reserve the right for up to
six special events per year in the channel at no additional charge.
Councilman Buckley noted that a representative of California Skier was

PUBLIC COMMENTS - NON-AGENDIZED ITEMS - 3 MINUTES
Edith Stafford, 29700 Hursh, addressed the need for more police. She indicated
that she supports more police protection whether it is for 6.5 officers or 2.3
officers. She noted a vehicle theft in which the police did not respond; but
commented that she had been lucky when she called for the police. She indicated
that it was never possible to have enough police protection, and stressed that the
officers put their lives on the line and need back-up protection. She urged the
Council to go for more officers and cut back the fat.
-
Police Chief Fetherolf clarified his recent memo to the City Manager in which he
commented that in his opinion the department was operating below the national
standard for police officers. He explained that the minimal level of service in a
normal community is 1 officer per 1,000 population, and his calculation indicate
that there were only about .8 officers per 1,000. He clarified that when he
obtained clarification of the formula for the purchase of police service, it came up
to the 1.0 per 1,000 figure. He explained that this was a general indicator for any
community, and noted that with the projected growth for the next year, he would
anticipate the need for two more officers. He stressed that his original figure of
five officers was incorrect. He commented that they would always like more
officers for additional programs, and noted that they receive 70 to 100 calls for
service in every 24 hour period. He clarified the priority system for dispatching,
and explained that 114 personnel were deployed from the Lake Elsinore Station,
covering the area from Corona to Murrieta and from the Top of the Ortegas to
-
Page Thirty-Seven - City Council Minutes - April 12, 2005
Perris. He indicated that the City budgeted $5.7 million this year for 35 full time
equivalents and with the requested additions that would increase for next year.
He stressed that they always kept the City contract full, due to their legal and
moral obligations.
Mayor Magee clarified that the City was right on target with the industry standard,
but needed two additional officers to keep pace. He concurred that the Council
would like to have more, but indicated that was their challenge.
Councilwoman Kelley inquired if City officers were going to Wildomar. Chief
Fetherolf clarified that there were officers for City limits, as well as deputies for
the surrounding County areas. He explained that for major calls in the City,
everyone would be responding, as would happen in other areas outside the City.
He stressed the need to protect the officers and citizens in the community.
Councilman Hickman inquired if it was possible to state the preference for a
motorcycle over a patrol car. Chief Fetherolf indicated that the Council could buy
whatever they desired, but clarified that the motorcycle officers were dedicated
officers, for which the City paid a special rate. He stressed that they had to be
specifically trained, so the City had to pay more for them. He also noted that the
other officers were fully supported in the contract. Chief Fetherolf indicated that
his salary was not a part of the contract.
Mayor Pro Tern Schiffner asked for an explanation of the concept that City income
is derived from the issuance of traffic citations. He questioned where the citation
money goes. Chief Fetherolf explained the division of traffic enforcement in the
area, with the County areas being deferred to the Highway Patrol. He indicated
that in City limits the Sheriff has that responsibility so they put two motor officers
in the City for traffic enforcement. He explained that when they write citations,
they will typically use State code sections and when possible City code sections.
He advised that he was not fully able to comment on the distribution of fines at
the State level, but expressed doubt that it would be sufficient to support the
officers.

CLOSED SESSION REPORT
City Attorney Leibold reported that the Council met in Closed Session on the
items as listed on the Agenda, with no reportable action.
PUBLIC COMMENTS - NON-AGENDIZED ITEMS - 1 MINUTE
J.J. Swanson-O'Neal, 29610 Hague, indicated that she was present to say that she
was very interested in having the lights lit on Lakeshore drive. She stressed the
level of community support for this effort and the level of support to help make it _
Page Five - City Council Minutes - April 26, 2005
happen.
Ron LaPere, 16867 Wells Street, noted that the General Plan revision will take into
consideration the historical values in the community. He indicated that there were
14 light standards between Illinois Street and Chaney Street that were still in
pretty good shape. He commented that once the figures were known, he would
look at the most feasible way to bring power to them, and noted the potential for
reduced operational costs. He advised that he would report back on how best to
accomplish this task.
Donna Morin, representing the Historical Society, indicated that she was present
for two reasons. She first thanked the City Council for their graciousness and
assistance in getting the Cultural Center basement ready for the Grand Opening of
the Museum. She then addressed the lights and noted that this was J.J. Swanson's
project and commented that she was sure it would get done one way or another.
She thanked the Council for their support.
Pierce Patrick, 30300 Dryden, commented that the 12 or 13 people wanting to
speak on the street lights helped to stress the importance of the issue. She
indicated that the lights would be a focal point, and stressed that many people
wanted to help with this effort.
Tim Fleming, 17970 Lakeshore, indicated that he was a member of the General
Plan Advisory Committee, and noted that they had discussed the vision of Lake
Elsinore. He indicated that they saw a return to the City's history, and there was a
real City treasure in the light standards. He noted that there were 17 standards on
Lakeshore and suggested they were a way to illuminate the City's future.
Linda Keeney, 4000 Crestview, addressed the Council on behalf of the Mayor's
Prayer Breakfast, and invited everyone to attend on May 5th at 7 :45 a.m. She
noted that the event was patterned after the national event in Washington D.C., and
would serve as a time of rededication. She noted the keynote speaker and
indicated that more information could be obtained by calling 951-678-1159. She
advised that tickets for tables of six could be purchased for $100.
Page Six - City Council Minutes - April 26, 2005
-
Judy Jacobs, 17555 Sunnyslope Avenue, indicated that she was a new resident,
who had recently migrated from Orange County. She stressed the history of the
area and its future potential. She suggested starting with the lights that were still
in position, would be an excellent way to bring civic pride to the community.
Mary Bredlau, 17912 Skyline Drive, supported lighting the street lights. She
suggested that the funding and refurbishing of the lights would add beauty and
ambiance to Lake Elsinore and show where the community had come from. She
also suggested that it would provide safety for drivers on Lakeshore Drive. She
indicated that she had been told that the future widening of Lake shore Drive was a
reason not to proceed with this, but questioned how much planning had been done
for a widening project and when it would be widened. She commented that there
might be only one opportunity to build on the City's history and heritage, and it
was important to preserve artifacts of the City's history. She stressed that this was
a community issue.
-
Tom Willis, 17747 Skyline Drive, addressed the street lights and noted the number
of screeching cars he hears on Lakeshore Drive. He reiterated that safety was a
good reason to light the lights. He also suggested that this was a good way to
attract a higher level of income to the City.
Ramon Tamargo, 17747 Skyline Drive, noted that he had submitted a letter on this
topic. He commented that Phil Williams posed the question on the value of water
and suggested an alternate question on the value of the integrity of having the City
admired and escaping the old run-down image. He noted that there were no
boarded up homes in their area and stressed that this was more than an issue of
Lakeshore Drive, but more of an issue for the community as a whole. He stressed
the importance of image for people visiting the community.
Charlene Cleary, 15990 Annette, Lake1and Village, commented that the street
lights originally went in about 1926 and carried an incredible aesthetic value. She
noted that a request last year inspire the Lakeland Village RDA Committee to look
at putting similar lights in on Grand Avenue. She stressed the beauty of the lights
and the continuity that could be established with the lighting of these lights in _
Page Seven - City Council Minutes - April 26, 2005
combination with the Grand Avenue lights. She commented that even if the roads
were widened, lights would still be needed.
Paula Graver, 117 N. Poe Street, read an e-mail from a serviceman in Iraq
addressing a poll on pulling out troops and the security situation in Iraq.
Recreation & Tourism Manager Fazzio, commented on behalf of the Senior Center
and noted their ongoing fund-raiser. She indicated that they were selling tickets
for a piece of art entitled "The Santa Rosa Plateau". She advised that tickets were
$1 per ticket for the May 6th drawing.
Mayor Magee commented that the public comments on the street lights had been
heard and the Council had asked that this item be added to the unfunded projects
list in the budget. He noted that the Council was facing significant budget
hurdles, but would do the best they could. Councilman Buckley indicated that
the budget was tight, but relighting the lights was an excellent idea for safety and
beautification. He noted that eventually Lakeshore Drive might be widened, but
it might not. He suggested that this item might be considered a repair project or
an RDA project, rather than a capital project. He noted that a number of people
had offered to help pay for the proj ect at some level with donations; and expressed
hopes that the funds would be found to complete the project. He reiterated that
placing it on the list was the first step.

suggestions.
MOVED BY BUCKLEY, SECONDED BY MAGEE TO WAIVE THE $220
RENTAL FEE.
Councilwoman Kelley inquired what Mrs. Sandberg's son had done as an
Eagle Scout project. Mrs. Sandberg indicated that he had built two types of -
fish hatcheries being a stake bed and a crib, near Four Comers.
Councilwoman Kelley noted the benefit of this project and other projects to
the community, and expressed appreciation for the benefits they provided.
She noted that she was very reluctant to break policy, but noted that policies
were currently under review. She stressed the need for a formal policy to
prevent a flood of this type of request. She indicated that she would
support the request, but was concerned about setting a precedent.
Mayor Magee indicated that he was prepared to support the motion; but as
stated earlier, he was prepared to write the check to support the City
services portion.
Councilman Buckley indicated that he would also join in to help cover the
other costs, but noted that rental fees are waived for non-profits.

by sharing the costs he was spending another month of his City Council
salary.

offset the costs.
THE FOREGOING MOTION CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.
32. Request for Waiver of Fees - Pat Vesey - P & R Foundation - Lake Elsinore
Rod Run - $500. (F:62.1)
Recreation & Tourism Manager Fazzio noted that every year this group
brings a huge event to town, with last year's event including about 500 cars.
She indicated that this event had been going on for five years, and this year
they were requesting sponsorship for clean-up costs after the event. She
noted that in past years there were huge messes after the event. She advised
that they were asking for a $500 sponsorship.
Mayor Magee noted that Chamber President Kim Cousins sent him an e-
mail this morning in support of this request, noting the benefit of having the
event in town.
Mr. Vesey indicated that he would use any opportunity to promote the event.
He advised that they were right on target with the registration and the first
advertisements would appear this Thursday in the Press Enterprise. He
invited everyone to attend and vendors to participate. He stressed that this
was a community event and welcomed everyone to participate.
Councilman Buckley commented that this was more of a City sponsorship,
than a waiver of fees. He noted that the City logo was on the event posters,
and commented that the event had been very positive for the City, with lots
of people coming into the community. He noted that the event would be
held on May 14th from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

PRODUCTIONS TO BECOME A PRESENTING SPONSOR OF THE LAKE
ELSINORE ROD RUN AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SERVICES TO THE
EVENT.
33. 888 Park Site Alternatives and Funding. (F:114.1)
City Manager Brady noted that the City Council had requested that this be
listed on the agenda. He explained that this request was initiated over a
year ago in cooperation with EVMWD, but it had not moved forward. He
advised that the Council had allocated $100,000 for development of the
park, and it was the intent of EVMWD to put in a well on one of the two
sites. He noted that the Council would consider development of a park on
either site, and EVMWD had indicated that it did not matter which site they
used for the well. He requested direction from the Council at to which site
they would prefer for the park. -
Mayor Pro Tern Schiffner noted the earlier discussions.
MOVED BY SCHIFFNER TO DIRECT MANAGEMENT TO
INVESTIGATE THE COST AND DESIGN OF THE PARK ON THE
LARGEST PARCEL OF LAND TO FIT INTO THE ANNUAL BUDGET,
LEAVING THE SMALLER PARCEL ALONE FOR NOW.
Councilman Hickman noted that there had been discussion of taking the
matter off calendar.
Mayor Magee clarified that this motion would have staff sharpen their
pencil on the estimate and have EVMWD review the smaller site for the
well site.
COUNCILMAN HICKMAN SECONDED THE FOREGOING MOTION.
Councilwoman Kelley indicated that she was excited to see this move
-
Page Seventeen - City Council Minutes - April 26, 2005
forward. She noted that the original design for the park was over ten years
old and suggested it was time to get it built and settle the issues.
Councilman Buckley showed a diagram and clarified the location at Lincoln
and Terra Cotta. He noted that both properties had been empty for some
time. He suggested that if the District uses the site for a well, it should be
their obligation to fund the park as well. He indicated that he did not care
which parcel they put the well on, but the District should pay for a park.
Mayor Pro Tern Schiffner indicated the problem was that the Water District
didn't have a definite intention of building for two years, and the City didn't
want to wait that long. He suggested that the City couldn't necessarily wait
for the Water District to get their ducks in a row.
Councilman Buckley reiterated that there were two pieces of property, and
both could have parks, if one was paid for by the Water District. He
suggested that if the City did one side, the Water District could do the other
side in two years. He reiterated that it was City property, and if they built a
well, they should also build a park.
THE FOREGOING MOTION CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.

Street, rather than going around, and stressed the danger of speeding
vehicles on Machado. She indicated that there needed to be some
adjustment in the speed limit and possibly more enforcement in the area.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
21. Vacation of 3`d Street - Continued from April 12, 2005.
Mayor Magee noted that the recommendation was to continue this item to
May 24`n
MOVED BY BUCKLEY, SECONDED $Y KELLEY TO CONTINUE THIS
TTEM TO MAY 24, 2005.
Mayor Magee noted that he had requests to speak on the item, and inquired
if the Council wished to take testimony.
THE FOREGOING MOTION CARRIED BY A VOTE OF 4 TO 0 WITH
BUCKLEY ABSTAININ~
John O'Dougherty commented that about two weeks ago there was a
meeting at EVMWD regarding the purchase of 3rd Street. He noted that the
matter was a surprise to him, as when he met with representatives of
EVMWD, he inquired of Mr. Miller why he did not endeavor to purchase a
piece of property for the pump station. He answered why purchase a site,
when we can have the street for nothing. He suggested that this was a late
stage in the process to be proposing the purchase of the property from the
City. He indicated that after that meeting, he drove by the site and found a
contractor on the site commencing construction of the project. He
suggested that there was a huge contradiction that did not make sense. He
noted that the first time the City Council continued this item was to give
Centex and EVMWD the oppartunity to sit down with him and discuss
options and solutions. He indicated that he had never had contact with
EVMWD or Centex regarding a solution to the situation, but he did forward
some options that were not entertained. He noted that he still had further
options that would resolve the issue, and commented that he talked with the
Contractor and the matter came up at the Water Board that this project must
go forward to put the pipe under the freeway; as going back to Caltrans for
approval would talce two years. He indicated that he does not have a
Page Fifteen - City Council Minutes - May 10, 2005
problem with the pipeline going under the freeway, but suggested that there
must be a better solution than putting the pump station on Third Street. He
advised that another aspect was a storm water culvert under the freeway, and
running onto his property. He proposed running it down Third Street, but
they indicated with the pump station, that was not possible. He indicated hat
his final point was that while there were grandfathered rights for storm water
on the property, there were not grandfathered rights for large development to
put additional storm water on his property. He commented that this was a
huge problem that he would fight to the bitter end. He indicated that the
design was wrong, but there were some solutions to it, and offered a copy of
his proposal.
Cheryl ICirkpatrick, 92 Argonaut, Ste. 215, Aliso Viejo, invited City
Engineer Seumalo and Water District representatives to loolc over the
alternate plan. She noted that they were initially happy with the
continuance, but they had never been contacted, as intended. She expressed
hopes that someone would review their alternative, as it was a valid
alternative.
Harvey Ryan, representing EVMWD, indicated that he was requesting a
continuance, which has been done.
Mayor Magee requested a copy of materials be provided to the City
Engineer to share with the Council.
City Attomey Leibold noted that the work being conducted at this time was
pursuant to an encroachment permit and is not beyond the scope of such a
permit.

Mayor Magee opened the public hearing at 7:42 p.m., asking those persons
Page Twenty-Seven - City Council Minutes - May 10, 2005
interested in this item to speak.
There were no public comments.
MOVED BY HICKMAN, SECONDED BY SCHIFFNER TO ADOPT
ORDINANCE NO. 1150, UPON FIRST READING BY TITLE ONLY, WITH
THE CHANGES AS DISCUSSED FOR THE REQUIREMENT OF A
BUILDING PERMIT FOR ACCESSORY USES, THE RESTRICTION OF
WHOLESALE AND RESALES, THE REQUIREMENT FOR A PERMIT
FOR BLASTING AND ITEMS D AND E AS CONDITIONAL USES.
Councilman Buckley suggested that the permits should be issued per blast.
Mayor Magee indicated that staff would regulate the dates and times for a
number of events over a specified time period. He noted that it would also
include a requirement to notify adjacent property owners. City Attorney
Leibold clarified the blasting activity, noting that there would be an
administratively issued permit. She questioned if this should be an
administrative permit or if it should require Planning Commission approval.
Mayor Magee indicated that the intent was to have an administrative permit,
rather than requiring Planning Commission action. City Attorney Leibold
indicated that the proposed language, notwithstanding the permit would be
issued by the Director of Community Development.
Hardy Strozier, representing Pacific Clay, indicated that they were satisfied
with the Ordinance, as proposed, but requested clarification of the proposed
changes, particularly relating to the sale of material. Mayor Magee clarified
that the sale of resources produced on site were allowed. Mr. Strozier noted
their application for the Pacific Clay annexation and noted that they
currently manufacture ceramic items on site, but also bring in other materials
they bring on site from other producers that are sold, such as materials used
in construction and landscaping. He questioned the possibility of sitting
down to clarify the language between now and the second reading. Mayor
Magee noted that in the case mentioned there would be a requirement for a
Conditional Use Pernut. City Attorney Leibold noted the language as
presented, which aliowed materials as produced on site, but indicated that
Page Ttventy-Eight - City Council Minutes - May 10, 2005
the notion had always been wholesale or retail products produced on site.
Mr. Strozier further questioned products not produced on site, and gave a
theoretical situation of material brought from off-site, and suggested the
ability to be grandfathered in. Mayor Magee suggested that it might be a
pre-existing non-conforming use. City Attorney Leibold confirmed that it
could be part of the annexation application. Mr. Stozier quesrioned the
other areas that were modified. Mayor Magee indicated that it involved
permits for blasting. Mr. Strozier indicated that they had no problem with
that.
Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner questioned whether they could include other
products customarily used in conjunction with those on-site. Mayor Magee
questioned where it would be appropriate to draw the line, and suggested
that by limiting it to products manufactured on site, the Council and
Planning Commission would get to make the determination on what is
appropriate. He noted that this was a City-wide ordinance, and not an
application from Pacific Clay, although they wiil be the most directly
impacted. City Attomey Leibold concurred with Mayor Magee, that with
production on site, it would be easier to determine compliance, and allow for
ease of enforcement.

32. Waiver of Denosit to Lake Mana~ement Fund.
City Attomey Leibold noted that the City Council, the Redevelopment
Agency and EVMWD entered an agreement which provides that each year
the City and EVMWD will deposit $650,000 into the Lake Management
Fund. She explained that informal discussions had been held to consider
allowing each party to waive that requirement. She advised that this was
consideration of that waiver and EVMWD would also have to agree to the
waiver.
Ron LaPere, 16867 Wells, commented that as this was the beginning of a
very fruitful arrangement with EVMWD, he would ask that the Council use
caution in this area, in spite of the abundance of water at this time. He
stressed the importance of moving with caution, and suggested requiring
only a portion of the fee be paid.
Harvey Ryan, representing EVMWD, indicated that they appreciated the
consideration for the waiver of funds for the Lake Management Fund, but he
was not sure he was in favor of amending the agreement, but possibly some
other alternative. He noted that they would be discussing the matter in
upcoming meetings to determine which direction to take.
Councilman Hickman noted that this was only consideration for one year,
and indicated that was moving with caution. He compared the City to a
small business and concurred with the need to move with caution. He
indicated that he didn't want to go over one year, but it would help with the
budget this year.
MOVED BY BUCKLEY, SECONDED BY MAGEE TO APPROVE A ONE
YEAR WAIVER AND AUTHORIZE STAFF TO INITIATE
NEGOTIATIONS TO AMEND THE AGREEMENT TO CREATE A
SYSTEM OF FUTURE WAIVERS TIED TO THE LAKE LEVEL, OR A PAY
BACK.
Councilwoman Kelley indicated that she was happy to see that motion, and
agreed that it was important to move forward with caution, but honor the
Page Thirty-One - City Council Minutes - May 10, 2005
agreement. She indicated that she agreed with the motion and concurred
with the need to limit how often such a waiver could be made.
THE FOREGOING MOTION CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.
33. Animal Shelter Options.
City Manager Brady explained this item was to allow for consideration of
options, in contrast to the JPA for development of a facility. He noted that it
included a proposed budget for operation of a facility, if the City was to
operate on its own. Community Services Director Sapp noted the options
for consideration, and explained that staff was requested to do more research
and provide concrete figures for consideration. He noted the options
included participation in the JPA with other cities, based on the number of
animals turned in, for a cost of $523,000 per year. He indicated that the
other options included the City being in the business for annual operation
costs of $368,000 per year and large capital costs of about $368,000 for
offices, kennels, vehicles, etc. He noted that no site was identified in the
materials. He suggested that staff could come baclc with specific sites and
costs for consideration.
Tim Fleming, 17970 Lakeshore, indicated that he is an 11 year resident who
has called on animal control, and commented that he would find it hard to
imagine replacing Animai Friends. He noted that there was already one
substandard shelter and questioned why anyone would want to build another
one. He expressed support for the new shelter.
Kris Anderson, President, Animal Friends of the Valleys, noted a two page
list of things they provide as an animal control service. She suggested that
based on the information provided, there were a lot of discrepancies. She
invited the Council and staff to come out and see the true picture of Animal
Control. She invited staff to ride with an Animal Control Officer for a day.
She clarified the need to fee and care for the animals 24 hours a day, seven
days a week. She noted the upcoming JPA meeting and indicated that there
would be the ability to discuss the plans with the architect. She noted that
Page Thirty-Two - City Council Minutes - May 10, 2005
they were currently working on a shelter in Silicon Valley. She stressed if
the City goes on it own with animal control, it was not possible to house
dogs and cats together, and noted that there was only one trailer proposed for
animals. She suggested that three trailers and appropriate staffbe
considered.
Dixie Schleiger, representing the Board of Animal Friends of the Valley,
stressed that it all came down to the level of service provided to the residents
and how well disease is controlled. She noted that the plans show one 12 x
40 kennel, a quarantine area with 8 kennels, and a 12 x 40 office with one
secretary. She noted the things that would be handled by the secretary. She
noted the need for an isolation area, and stressed the importance of
investigating what is involved. She further noted the requirements for
holding strays and the number of dogs and cats brought in each month. She
questioned how the additional animals would be housed, such as exotics and
other animals. She stressed the level of services that needed to be provided.
Councilwoman Kelley commented that it was obvious today, that there was
not enough information before them, and noted that staff had requested that
the item be pulled.
MOVED BY KELLEY, SECONDED BY SCHIFFNER TO PULL THE
ITEM.
Councilman Buckley indicated the proposal from staff was disappointing,
undersized, had no on site vet and no budget for food. He advised that he
was opposed to the proposal. He noted that on the County contract option, it
would be pointless to pay all the costs and have no control over it. He
commented that the operations were cheaper with Animal Friends than a
City operation. He suggested the possibility of an Animal Rescue Fee
(ARF) to assist with the capital costs, and indicated that the JPA would do
everything possible to keep the cost down. He noted that years ago it would
have been much less expensive, but noted that when this facility is built,
some parts have to be up to hospitai standards. He reiterated that the JPA
meeting would be held next week to go over some of the details, but he did
Page Thirty-Three - City Council Minutes - May 10, 2005
not see the point of continuing this discussion.
Mayor Magee indicated that he would like to continue this discussion, and
expressed his concerns to staf£ He commented that he thought that there
was a need for the JPA to take a few more steps and get tighter figures and
funding mechanisms. He suggested that staff needed to firm up this
proposal for an apples to apples comparison. He expressed concern with
the costs and indicated that he would like the matter continued to the second
meeting in July to give the JPA time to firm up numbers and all Community
Services Director Sapp to develop a tighter proposal for the City. He
stressed the need to be sure that all remedies have been exhausted.
Councilman Buckley commented that Animal Friends had a long working
relationship with the City and was less expensive. He noted that they
control the land on Mission Trail and are looking at $2 million in donations
to a facility they will own, whereas, it the City builds it own, they wiil not
get any part of that funding. He stressed that there will be a proper sheiter,
that is technically in the County. He explained that one reason the City
number is so high, is that people drop dogs on the streets in Lake Elsinore
because they know there is a shelter. He stressed that a significant number
of animals are dumped in the City, from out of town. He suggested that if
the shelter is in the County, they will be dumped in the County. He noted
that the planned shelter will even include night deposit boxes.
City Treasurer Weber noted that it was important to look at how to fund this
amount of money. He suggested that even with the $300 fee proposed by
Councilman Buckley, the City would still be short $500,000 or $600,000
which it does not have. He stressed the need to look at it by July, so we
know we can afford to do it. He indicated that three years from now there
will be a very difficult budget to deal with.
Councilman Hickman noted the Council's fiduciary responsibility, and
questioned how to finance this effort without impacting taxes. He stressed
the need to compare apples to apples. Councilman Buckley noted that he
did not say $300, as a Nexus study would have to be done. He noted that
Page Thirty-Four - City Council Minutes - May 10, 2005
every new home brings in 2.7 people, as well as 1.6 animals, and stressed
the potential impact of those animals.
City Attorney Leibold inquired if the matter was being continued to a date
certain.
THE PRIOR MOTION WAS WITHDRAWN, WTTH CONSENT OF THE
SECOND.
MOVED BY KELLEY, SECONDED BY SCHIFFNER TO CONTINUE THIS
ITEM TO THE SECOND MEETING IN JULY.
MOVED BY BUCKLEY, AS SUBSIDIARY MOTION TO REJECT THE
STAFF PROPOSAL. MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
THE FOREGOING ORIGINAL MOTION WAS APPROVED BY
UNANIMOUS VOTE WITH DIRECTION TO STAFF TO PROVIDE MORE
INFORMATION.
34. Award of Contract - Kobata & Associates - Fire Station/Lincoln Street Parlc
Design, Plans and Specifications - $20,000.
City Manager Brady noted the Apri126`h meeting discussion of potential
park sites, and placement of a well. He reminded Council that the site
selected was the old fire station site; and explained that this was a request to
allocate $20,000 for the design work, and either go out to bid or award the
contract to Kobata & Associates.
Councilman Buckley indicated that he would be abstaining from the vote on
this item, as he would still like to see EVMWD have a chance to pay.
MOVED $Y SCHIFFNER, SECONDED BY MAGEE TO APPROVE THE
PROPOSAL TO HIRE THE ARCHITECT FOR THE DESIGN WORK,
EVEN IF THE PROJECT IS NOT INTENDED TO BE BUILT RIGHT
AWAY.
Page Thirty-Five - City Council Minutes - May 10, 2005
Councilman Hickman suggested adding to the motion, something about
negotiating with the Water Department, in exchange for their desire to drill
for water.
Mayor Magee requested clarification that this would be to hire Kobata &
Associates to design the park on the large parcel with the Water District
drilling on the smaller property. City Manager Brady confirmed.
THE FOREGOING MOTION CARRIED BY A VOTE OF 4 TO 0 WITH
BUCKLEY ABSTAININ~
THE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING WAS RECESSED AT 8:22
P.M.

PUBLIC COMMENTS - NON-AGENDIZED ITEMS - 3 MINUTES
Dena Lopez, 16550 Arnold Avenue, noted that she lives in a rural area of Country
Club Heights. She indicated that she lived on a tree-lined street, until a few weeks
ago. She commented that it seemed very easy for people to lrnock down trees that
had been there a long time.
Linnett Johnson, 16390 Stevens Street, addressed the trees in Country Club
Heights which give shade in the summer. She expressed concern with putting 100
year old eucalyptus trees at risk, and indicated that out-of-town speculative
builders don't care about the trees. She indicated that she thought they were City
trees, but found out that they belong to the property owners, due to the distance
from the center of the roadway. She noted that even the Code Enforcement Officer
could not say for certain which were on private property and which were City
trees, as they had been planted in rows with very little variation. She indicated that
it was shameful that the law allows cutting down any healthy tree, especially when
Country Club Heights has very little going for them besides trees. She
commented that it was okay to trim and maintain them, but there was no excuse to
lcili them. She suggested that it should be part of the permit process to
Page Thirty-Six - City Council Minutes - May 10, 2005
aclrnowledge the trees and build around them. Mayor Magee requested the Ms.
Johnson provide staff with the specific locations she was concerned with.
Ric Hammel, 16359 Stevens Street, addressed the trees and the overall
development of Country Club Heights. He noted prior comments by the Council
regarding water and the dog pound, and expressed concern that the Council does
not lrnow enough about the issues being discussed. He noted the discussion of the
Country Club Heights area, and indicated that people were putting in modular
homes at night with no perk tests. He addressed the eight trees on Swan and
Arnold which where cut down, noting that they were beautiful eucalyptus trees.
He stressed the benefit of the trees and the aesthetic value they provide. He noted
a booklet he had compiled of Country Club Heights showing the trash being
dumped and the trees being removed. He provided the booklet to the City Clerk
for copying and distribution to the City Council and encouraged the Council to go
out and investigate the community.
Phyllis Atadero, 29180 Outrigger, noted the removal of trees on Lake Street. She
stressed that they were huge, ancient trees, and to destroy them did not make any
sense at ail. She suggested moving the homes back 50 yards, and stressed her love
far trees.
Paula Graver, 117 N. Poe, addressed the "Run for the Wall 17", and explained that
it was a recognition of the soldiers unaccounted for in the past and current wars.
She advised that they would be making the trip to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial
Wall in Washington D.C. She detailed the trip and noted that they would be part
of the Rolling Thunder Parade on Memorial Day. She indicated that she would be
doing daily journals and a video travel log. She advised that donations would be
greatly appreciated and requested thoughts and prayers for a safe trip.

slowly, and they were looking into the construction fund for about $4
million and the reserves far about $5 million. He stressed the
difficulty in following the money traiL He commented that if it were
done by an independent auditor, it would probably cost $50,000, due
to the complexity of the financing. He indicated that it was important
to pick the issue apart and ask questions of people about where this
money really went. He suggested that it would take him another
three weeks to get up to speed on the material. He advised that they
had set a goal of September, 2005, to have it done.

noted that there was no mention of how storm water coming under the
freeway would be handled He stressed the substantial increase in storm
water. He noted Centex would be a huge contributor to the problem.
Cheryl Kirkpatrick, commented that she had come to the meeting with the
understanding that the item would be continued again, as there had not been
a public hearing on the issue. She indicated that there had been many
public hearings scheduled but not held. She indicated that her objections
would be the same as Mr. O'Doherty's and encouraged no action to be taken
tonight.

Appeal
22. Appeal of the Planning Commission's Decision to denv Condirional Use
Permit No. 2005-5 for Nadir Rabban and Abbacv Holding Corp. (F;21.1)
Planning Manager Preisendanz explained that this item was an appeal of the
Planning Commission decision to deny CUP No. 2005-5. He indicated that
it was for the sale of alcoholic beverages. He noted that the alcohol license
was identified by ABC as a Type 20. He indicated that the Planning
Commission denied the item on May 3`d, 2005 and on May 29`h the applicant
filed an appeaL He indicated that since that meeting the applicant had
revised the business plan. The applicant had decided to upgrade to a more
gourmet sale with delicatessen; in contrast to a mini-mart. He noted the
addendum distributed to the Council late. He further noted revisions to the
findings of the resolution were more in line with the ABC requirements. He
' also noted the two letters attached as well as the revised business plan. He
noted that the applicant was present.
Page Ten - City Council Minutes - May 24, 2005
City Attorney Leibold noted that the Council had received correspondence
from Vda Boice regarding the item.
Matthew Pryble, attorney for the applicant, noted the location of the site.
Mr. Pryble provided background on the applicant. He detailed past
businesses owned by Mr. Rabban; and he had ABC licenses with each
business; and had never been cited by the ABC in 23 years. He indicated
that Mr. Rabban had been the owner/operator of all of his businesses; and
would do the same with this market. He detailed Mr. Rabban's community r
participation and organizations he's affiliated with. He noted that he would
be an active member in the Lake Elsinore community as we1L He had made
contact with the school district to assist with school events. He noted the
reasons the CUP should be approved. He indicated that he himself had been
in Lake Elsinore for a while and noted the traffic congestion problems in the
area. He indicated that Mr. Rabban's business would be the only one of its
type in that area. He indicated that it would hopefully alleviate some of the
traffic congestion in that area. He noted the current need to access main
intersection for shopping at this time. He indicated that it was anticipated to
create 15 to 20 jobs at this point. He noted it would generate a sales tax
re~enue for the City. He noted that Mr. Rabban's existing businesses
generated about $6,000 of sales tax per month, per business. He indicated
that it would be the newest service station/market in Lake Elsinore. He
commented on the design pictures, and indicated tliat it was consistent with
the surrounding area. He noted that he had sent a letter to Mrs. Boice to
address her concerns. He indicated that they did not intend to have any
outdoor advertising for the sale of alcohol or cigarettes. He indicated that it
would be a very nice market. Lake Elsinore would be lucky to have this
businessman in the community.
Bill Kipp, Abaccy Holding Company, 361 Railroad Canyon, Suite C, noted
the design of the convenience store. He indicated that it was designed to be
twice as high as most convenience store, mini-marts and gas starions. He
indicated that the original intent was more of a market/convenience store for
the neighborhood residents. He indicated that due to IRS restraints Abbacy
Holding decided to sell the property. He indicated that two potential buyers
had requested to have a beer and wine license. He indicated that he was
concerned as to why everyone was asking for a beer and wine license; so he
Page Eleven - City Council Minutes - May 24, 2005
contacted the Shell Oil Company Regional Office and was informed that of
136 shell stations, 135 had beer and wine licenses. He indicated that based
on Mr. Rabban's business background, he had a wide variety of business
acumen to operate this facility. He noted that Mr. Rabban would give good
service to the community. He noted that Mr. Rabban was only one piece of
the development and highlighted the lots to be used. He further noted an
office building and medical building locations. He indicated that the station
had been designed with a tall canopy to service motor homes, buses, etc. He
offered to answer questions. Mr. Kipp noted that Councilman Hickii~au had
an opportunity to visit their office on Friday and he had pointed out to him
that only a small fence separated the park. He indicated that Councilman
Hickman expressed his concerns that it might be public safety issue;
although it was not included in the original CUP, Abbacy Holding would
donate $5,000 to the City for specific use of building the fence to prevent
public safety issues. He indicated that they would submit upon the approval
of the CUP a letter to the City for recordation. Councilman Hiclanan noted
he did not want children running across Surnmerhill Drive. Mr. Kipp noted
that it should have been considered in the original CUP.
Mario Nunez, 31744 Canyon Estates Drive, commented that it was a bad
idea and requested that the Council not to approve the CUP. He indicated
that his neighbors could not attend the meeting, but this would create more
traffic and more people wandering into their neighborhaods. He expressed
concern for peace of mind, as the neighborhood would be unsafe. He
indicated that they did not need more gas stations. He indicated that he had
paid enough money to Mr. Kipp due to the City bond issues.
Mayor Magee noted that the project was approved August, 2003, and the
only issue at this time was the sale of beer and wine.
Vida Boice, 17 Ponte Nigra, expressed that she was greatly distressed with
this issue. She noted her e-mail. She indicated that she strongly objected to
this item. She also indicated that she did not understand why the applicant
felt the need to have a lawyer. She noted that the applicant's personal
background had no impact on this decision. She noted that the decision
would impact families in the area. She questioned how the market would
Page Tweleve- City Council Minutes - May 24, 2005
ease the traffic; and suggested that the attorney conduct a traffic study to
show it. She suggested that sales taac could be generated in otherways. She
indicated that she did not understand why the City was giving into all of
Mr. Kipp's request. She quesrioned in whose best interest was this project.
She indicated that in the Planning Commission Meeting there was a
reference to having a contact with the Police Chief Fetherolf, and he did not
feel it was beneficial to have a liquor license in that area. She noted that
there was a moratorium.
Lon Bike, 23905 Clinton Keith Road, commented that he was the architect
for the project; and was available to answer questions on the architecture.
Tim Fleming, 17970 Lakeshare Drive, commented that he would like to read
a comment from Lorraine Watts, thanking the Planning Commission for the
denial of the CUP submitted by Nadar Rabban and Abbacy Holding Corp.
She indicated that Yhere was a moratorium on the issuance of CUP's unless
the Police Deparhnent had determined a need of public necessity for the
community to have an outlet to sale beer and wine. She further indicated
another outlet was not needed. She suggested the city had its quota.
Edith Stafford, Lake Elsinore, addressed the fact that Mr. Kipp offered
$5,000. She suggested that might cause a conflict of interest. She indicated
that Mr. Kipp had already donated heavily to a couple of Council people
present. She suggested that they might not be eligible to vote on this item.
She indicated that it should not be approved, in view of the gridlock. She
concurred that it was a beautiful project, but the location was wrong. She
noted that Uons sold liquor and there was a liquor store on Summerhill
Drive; and to add another liquor store was not right. She suggested;that
there were enough problems with drunk drivers. She questioned the number
of lives taken by drunken drives in Lake Elsinore to date. She indicated that
the Council should carefully consider before adding another liquor store.
William Arnold, 31556 Sagecrest Drive, expressed his concerns with the
approval of this pernut. He indicated that it was slowly being turned into a
commercial eyesore. He indicated that the serious problem was that it was
across from a park where children play
Fage Thirteen - City Council Minutes - May 24, 2005
ball, and occupy their time. He indicated that the community was concerned
about a green area being developed. He indicated that green areas had a
tendency to attract the homeless; and beer and wine across the street, was
asking for trouble. He noted that there were other locations selling wine and
beer, one more is overkilL He commented that if Council cared about the
community than they should not approve the CUP.
Ron LaPere, 16867 Wells Street, commented as a matter of inforniation
several years ago he had owned three restaurants. He indicated that beer and
wine license were available to them. He suggested emphasis in this case
should be on foods, with secondary emphasis on beer and wine. He
indicated that he heard from the applicant that it would not be advertised.
He asked the Council to give careful consideration to the primary use the
applicant was requesting.
Councilman Buckley indicated that he was not sure how he would vote on
the item. He reiterated to everyone that the business couldgo in, the
question was the beer and wine license. He noted that the license added to
financial viability of the business. He also noted that the down side was the
proximity to the park. He noted that there was a liquor store across from a
middle school and high school. He indicated that at the August; 2003
Planning CommiSSion meeting Mr. Kipp stated that there would be no
alcohol sales on the property. He refemed to a recent letter from Mr. Kipp.
that suggested there would be a disadvantage without the sale of beer and
wine. Councilman Buckley expressed his concern with a Trojan harse
effort. He indicated that on the other side it was a CUP, so the community
could watch it closely, and if there were problems, they could norify the
Council and the Council had the authority to pull the CUP. He indicated that
there was no outside advertising and percentage of floor space was limifed to
20%. I3e indicated that the sales ta~c side was low for the city, but thinks the
ainount is a bit low. He indicated that the offer of $5,000 for the fence might
not be enough, but it was a very generous offer, although it was not a
conflict. He noted political donations were exempted from conflict of
interest laws. .
Councilman Hiclanan indicated that he would like to investigate this
Page Fourteen - City Council Minutes - May 24, 2005
moratorium on the license. He deferred to Police Chief Fetherolf. Police
Chief Fetherolf indicated that he was not aware of conditions of the
moratorium. City Manager Brady indicated that it was not a City
moratorium, and he was not aware of those conditions. Planning Manager
Preisendanz noted that from his discussions with ABC, they could not verify
where the moratorium originated from: He noted that the just of the
moratorium did not prohibit alcohollicenses, but would have to make a
finding of public convenience and necessity. He noted the divisions of the
City and the available licenses. He indicated that according to ABC it was
not a prohibition, but the City must make a finding.
Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner questioned the prohibirion as read. He indicated
that Council had listened to a number of people against the license. He
indicated that he was very surprised when the item went before the Planning
Commission only one person spoke against it; and that individual was there
tonight to speak against the project. He cor-imented that he thought he
would see a group of people that lived closer to the project; and there was
only one person. He indicated that he had heard that person speak against a
number of other things. He indicated that he would be in favor of the CUP,
because he had not heard a justifiable reason to oppose the issuance.
Councilwoman Kelley indicated that she was struggling on two fronts. She
indicate that the firstwas the original plan, in which she was on the council
and voted for the plan specifically because it had no beer and wine sales.
She indicated that she would be reversing her own original decision; and in
order to reverse it, she would need to find public convenience or necessity
for it. She noted the only thing was that it would be difficult to sell the
property without the CUP. She indicated that the second issue she was
struggling with was when it came before the Planning Commission, was it
proposed as a gourmet venue with beers and wines and gourmet sandwiches
' or was that a change because the Planning Commission rejected the request.
Planning Commissioner Chairman Lapere indicated that from his
understanding it was a convenience market specializing in certain food
items, beer and wine were an added item as it related to the original concept
of a convenience market. He indicated that it did indicate, at that time, that
beer and wine would not be promoted; there would be no signage on the
Page Fifteen - C'-ty Council Minutes - May 24, 2005
outside of the market. Councilwoman Kelley questioned if it was presented
as gourmet type.
Chairman Lapere confirmed. Councilwoman Kelley requested comments
from Police Chief Fetherolf. Police Chief Fetherolf indicated that as a law
enforcement professional it was difficult to separate personal values from
professional recommendation. He noted it was difficult for him to say that
he finds a need or public convenience for alcohol in any establishment. He
noted that he had read a study that indicated that there had been more life
lost and bodily injury and property damage as a result of alcohol, than any
and all wars suffered on earth. He indicated that from his professional view,
he was constrained by a few parameters. The ABC had established certain
criteria for what was an acceptable place for a license. He indicated that as a
general rule he did not recommend against the recommendations of ABC.
Council had opportunity to provide a Conditional Use Permit. He indicated
that he was not in opposition of ABC regulations; and find, that he had no
legal grounds to recommend against the lic.ense, as the applioant had no
criminal history. He indicated that if the ABC determined that they were
going to allow the license, and the City was inclined to grant the CUP, than
he would not oppose that recommendation actively.
Councilwoman Kelley noted she wanted to hear from him, and noted it was
a tough call due to personal and professional views. She indicated that there
were only three Planning Commissioners present at the meeting. She
indicated that there was only one person speaking against the project that
evening. She indicated thaf she would need to weigh this matter.
Councilman Buckley noted that public convenience and necessity if a
gourmet shop, it was inconvenient to buy caviar and kool-aid. He indicated
that it was difficult to show the necessity side.
Councilwoman Kelley questioned how easy would it be to pull the CUP
once it was granted. City Manager Brady indicated that with a CUP there
were Conditions of Approval. He indicated that those Conditions of
Approval would be the basis for compliance or non-compliance.
Page Sixteen - City Council Minutes - May 24, 2005
Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner indicated that since it was legal in this country,
there were lots of places that sold alcohol. He indicated that they were not
there to legislate on the prudence of selling liquor to people.
City Attomey Leibold confirmed the accuracy of Councilman Buckley on
the conflict of interest issue. She indicated that the donation to the City was
not a donation to the individual Councilmemebers; and did not present a
conflict of interest. She further indicated that political campaign donarions
were not income within the meaning of Political Reform Act nar did it create
a conflict of interest. She indicated that the finding that was required to
satisfy ABC was a finding of public convenience or necessity.
Mayor Magee noted it was a difficult decision. He indicated that he was not
given an opportunity to vote on the reformation of this project, as he did not
participate in the general plan for the area. He indicated that he did not vote
on mini storage. He indicated the issue was the beer and wine sales. He
noted that he had heard the comments made by Mr. Arnold, but did not
believe that by authorizing the sale of beer and wine would lessen the
property values. He indicated that Gouncilman Buckley pointed out the
ability to revoke the CUP if the applicant was not in compliance.
MOVED BY SCHIFFNER , SECONDED BY MAGEE TO ADOPT
RESOLUTION NO. 61 APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.
2005-OS AND ADOPTING THE FINDINGS OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE
OR NECESSITY.
Councilwoman Kelley questioned the conditions for the CUP, and if any will
be added or if they were adequate. She indicated that she wanted to ensure
no signs would be posted, and their ABC license was followed to the letter.
Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner indicated that all of the conditions regarding all of
those conditions were all included in the conditions in motion. Planning
Manager Preisendanz noted that the conditions were specified from the code.
Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner commented that if Council felt it was a more
sensitive area the residents could be more responsive in watching for
violations. Planning Manager Preisendanz confirmed the specifics.
Page Seventeen - City Council Minutes - May 24, 2005
Councilman Hickman questioned the proper way to handle the $5,000
donation offered by Mr. Kipp. City Attorney Leibold indicated that Mr.
Kipp recommended not to add it as a Condition of Approval for the CUP, but
the Council had the choice to add it as a specific condition of approval, or
accept the donation and issue the permit concurrently with the provision of
the funds for the specific purpose of the construction of the fence based on
safety concerns. Councilman Hickman questioned how to handle the project
if the cost went over $5,000. City Attorney Leibold indicated that Council
could request or require that Mr. Kipp or the applicant fund the full cost of
that fence. Councilman Hickman requested adding to the motion that Mr.
Kipp be held responsible for the construction of the fence. City Attorney
Leibold indicated that it would be in the scope of the Council discretion to
install or finance the cost of installing a barrier fence. Mayor Magee noted
that the easiest way to ensure the construction of the barrier fence was to add
it to the conditions of approval. Councilman Hickman questioned if the
applicant would support that as a condition. Mr. Pryble indicated that the
applicant would not support that as a condition of CUP.
Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner requested clarity on the fence. He noted that there
was a relatively low ornamental wall in the area. Councilman Hickman
noted that the fence stopped by the park; and he would like it to continue.
Councilman Buckley noted the site corifiguration. Mr. Kipp noted the
current fence configuration along the park. Councilman Buckley noted
finishing the fence all the way to the corner to prevent kids from crossing the
street. Mr. Kipp indicated that his donation would be to the City to construct
the fence through the Public Works Department. He indicated that his
donation was an act of public safety. He further indicated that they did not
want this as a condition for the CUP. He indicated that they wanted it
entered into the record and they would verify by sending a letter to the City
tomorrow. Councilman Hickman questioned if more funds were needed,
would they cover the cost. Mr. Kipp indicated that they would not, but felt it
could be done for less than $5,000. Mayor Magee deferred to Community
Services Director Sapp and questioned the cost of the barrier fence. Mr.
Sapp noted that it might be a little more. He indicated that he was not sure
of the run of the fence. He advised that it might coat more than $5,000.
Page Eighteen - City Council Minutes - May 24, 2005
Buckley noted the existing fence and suggested 200 to 300 feet of fencing.

Weber addressed the Pacific Clay Annexation coming up. He indicated that
the City could not, at this point, take on that area and support it with police
and fire. He noted the Rosetta Canyon project and that the City did not have
money to fund that fire station. He indicated that the Council was now
talking about annexing another huge amount of properiy. He noted bond
meetings held today. He suggested that the City needed to slow down and
figure out where we were at. He indicated that the City could not provide
the services for the areas that were currently being developed. He indicated
that according to the budget, by 2010 the City had projected a negative $7
million in unallocated funds.
Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner indicated that the ordinance was just to adopt a

32. Amended Concessions Ag`reement to include PWC rental and food
concession.(F:68.1)
Lake & Aquatic Research Director Kilroy indicated that this item was for
approval of an amendment to the agreement with Pyramid Enterprise to
approve pwc rental and food concession at the Seaport Boat Launch. He
indicated that they were requesting one hot dog vendor cart and the ability to
rent eight pwc's at the boat launch. He indicated that they were also
requesting a portable storage container on site for the business. He
suggested that it would be a benefit to the visitors to Lake Elsinore. He
noted that the City would receive 7% of the gross sales. He indicated that
based on earlier comments made at the 4 p.m. Study Session he would
recommend changes to the Conditions of Approval for the agreement as
distributed. He noted fhat he would strike reference.to sales of these items
on public beaches limited to the site plan in the agreement; and also
recommended item 2 to include one vendor cart, subject to approval, specify
8 vessels, and specify 200 square foof structure for storage. He
recommended approval with changes as noted.
Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner indicated that he respected the recommendation,
but he was curious on the reason for not allowing sales to occur on other
parts of the beach. Mr. Kilroy indicated that this was the request of Pyramid
Enterprises.
Councilman Buckley questioned the portable shed. He quesrioned why not
trailer everything back to the campground at the end of the night. Mr. Kilroy
indicated that the pwc's would be trailered to the campground along with the
Page Twenty - City Council Minutes - May 24, 2005
hot dog cart. He indicated that the trailer for business items might be an
enclosed toy trailer such as for off-road vehicles or pods.
Councilman Hickman clarified that it was not an overseas 20 foot container.
Mr. Kilroy confirmed and noted it would be subject to City Manager
approval. Councilman Hickman noted that he had a friend who wanted to
do parasailing; and he questioned who the point of contact would be. Mr.
Kilroy indicated that the individual should wark with the City.

LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR OPERATION OF THE CAMPGROUND,
DAY USE AND BOAT LAUNCH FACILITY WITH CORRECTIONS AS
PROPOSED.
33. 2005 4th ofJulv Celebration. (F:62.1)
Recreation/Tourism Manager Fazzio noted the options for this year's event.
She noted that last year the City funded fireworks along with a patriotic boat
parade which was very well received. She further noted that in the past
fireworks were offered by the Lake Elsinore Storm. She indicated that this
year the Storm was home on the 4'~'. She noted the tlu~ee options and
detailed them. She also noted the potential drawbacks and limitation on use
of the levee.
Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner proposed using Option 1 as listed in the staff
report with addition of staff directed to work with the Storm to provide the
pyrotechnical show in years that the Storm did not to guarantee an annual
show. ,
Councilman Hickman thought the City should have its fireworks show. He
indicated that Mr. Oster was willing to have his people work together with
the City to prevent any problems. He noted that he enjoyed the boat parade.
He suggested coordinating with the Storm and bringing the item back to
Council on June 14`h.
Page Twenty-one - City Council Minutes - May 24, 2005
Councilwoman Kelley thought the City deserved a fireworks show. She
indicated that the City did not want to compete with the Storm show. She
noted the discussion of alternating shows for the years that the Storm was
not in town. She believed consistency was very important, but would be
willing to acquiesce to the Storm this year, as long as when they did not have
firewarks, the City did.
Councilman Buckley commented on Americanism. He noted that he had
never received a phone call against fireworks. He noted everyone used city
services, but did not always realize what they were paying for with tax
dollars. He indicated that the fireworks show was worth the cost. He noted
that last year traffic was stopped along Lakeshore Drive and there were
thousands of people in the City. He suggested doing two shows. He
suggested approving the funds and work with the storm to coordinate and
publicize. He noted that when the Storm was out of town on the 4`h they did
fireworks on the 3rd. He noted that it was also a concept of setting a
tradition. He noted that it was the first time in 10 years the City had paid far
the show.
Mayor Magee questioned the City staffing costs for the boat parade alone.
Recreation/Tourism Manager Fazzio deferred to Lake & Aquatic Resources
Director Kilroy. Mr. Kilroy indicated that the cost was very reasonable. He
indicated that typically staff would shift the hours to the weekend. Mayor
Magee commented that when talking about tradition, the 4`h of July was
fireworks. He suggested keeping the boat parade alive, there was the
tradition. He suggested that if the Storm was doing Fireworks the City
should not duplicate, but when they were not in town the City should have
the fireworks show.
Councilman Hickman expressed the need for the City to have a fireworks
show. He indicated that the City's fireworks show was for everyone and did
not cost anyone anything.

34. Branding and Public Relations/Marketin~ RFP: Recommendation for
Professional Services Consultin~. (F:70.1) (F:44.1)
Mayor Magee noted that this item was spearheaded by a subcommittee made
up of Councilman Hickman and Councilman Buckley. He noted that there
was one request to speak.
Councilman Buckley gave an overview of the item. He indicated that last
October the City Council started discussing public relations and improving
the marketing strategy and image of Lake Elsinore. He indicated that in
February the Council approved an RFP and created a subcommittee to start
looking for firm to do the job. He explained the reason for doing this. He
noted past image problems, but the city had changed dramatically. He
stressed the shift in the community, which people were starting to hear
about. He sfressed the need to be sure businesses, tourists, eta lrnew about
the changes. He indicated that by creating a more positive image was the
start down the right road to growth. He indicated that this was a roadmap
for the growth. He noted that in the next year or so there would be a
decision on the new road to Orange County; and improving our image would
not hurt. He noted the perceptions that could be repaired by proper
marketing, eta He noted there were also problems inside the community;
and problems communicating within the community. He believed by having
strategies in place would help bring people together inside the community:
He stressed that this was not an effort to attraet more housing development.
He indicated that there would be a poll, focus groups, logo, new look for
Page Twenty-three - City Council Minutes - May 24, 2005
stationary, trucks, street signs, and strategy and acrion plans to go forward.
Phase 1 was the creation of inessage points. Phase 2 was the physical stuff,
creation of a web based marketing tool kit. Everyone in Lake Elsinore
would participate. He noted that the subcommittee received 10 responses to
the RFP. He noted 3 firms were interviewed. Lake Elsinore Marketing
Group and Bloomfield Group were chosen specifically due to interest in the
community. The subcommittee also requested consideration of another firm
called Cresta West. He indicated that if approved, Phase 1 would start in 6
to 8 months starting in the next fiscal year. Phase 2 would start when Phase
1 was done. He indicated that the cost for Phase 1 was $92,000 and Phase 2
was to be determined, but would be about $100,000 to $150,000. He
indicated that the City would be able to track recreation/tourism, sales tax,
etc. He indicated that the timing had to be right in arder for it to work. He
introduced Information/Commuriications Manager Dennis and George
Bloomfield and William Furlongh, LEMG. He indicated that representatives
from Cresta West were unable to attend.
Mayar Magee noted that there was a request to speak on the item from Chris
Hyland. He noted that Ms. Hyland had left the building,
George Bloomfield introduced himself and Bill Furlough to the CounciL He
indicated that he was introduced to Lake Elsinore about four years ago and
fell in love with the community. He indicated that he later purchased some
property and look forward to building a home in the area. He indicated that
Bill Furlough would be heading the research aspects.
Bill Furlough offered to answer any questions.
Information/Communications Manager Dennis noted the cost rational as
discussed at the 4 p.m. Study Session. He indicated thaYthe bulk of the
expenditure for Phase l was research. He advised that the research was the
most critical stage of the process.
City Treasurer Weber indicated that the 2006-07 budget reflected the City
would be negative $2 million. He suggested getting help from deveTopers.
He stressed the shortfall for next year. He indicated that the City needed to
Page Twenty-four - City Council Minutes - May 24, 2005
get out of fantasy land and dream that there would be money from
somewhere.
Councilman Buckley noted that there was already a line item in the budget
for this and a possible lobbyist. He noted money spent by EVMWD on their
legislative affairs as well as other cities.
Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner indicated that he was not sure whether the City did
or did not need the service at this time. He indicated that he was disturbed
with the amount of money it would cost, and suggested smaller steps. He
questioned how much benefit, if authorized the research part of this for the
first three items to see what the thought process was. Mr. Furlough indicated
researcli was the foundation for the plan, but would not get the City
anything. He advised that the research was the first block far the program.
He suggested that if the City was only doing the research, He would suggest
not invest in the research. Mayor Pro Tem Scluffner suggested it would tell
the City if it would be successful in advertising any further. Mr. Furlough
indicated that it would be valuable, but only useful if the City did something
else with it. Mr. Bloomfield indicated that it equated to determining the
City's intentions. He indicated that it was no reason for the research if there
was no intention to move forward.
Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner indicated that the future of the community was
around the development of the lake. He indicated that the City did have a
direction, so he did not feel the need for someone to tell us what we should
do here. He noted that a big part of the land in the City was going to
habitat. Mr. Bloomfield indicated that the City indeed had direction and was
intended to move forward, but dealing with development of habitat, etc., by
providing the research it was part of a larger program. He thanked Mr.
Weber for bringing up the point of managing where this would stop. He
concurred with sharing in the long term costs with the development
community. Schiffner questioned that it was not worthwhile to do the
research without doing it all. Mr. Furlough confirmed, and added that they
did not want the Council to do something that did not create a long term
benefit for the City.

the City. He suggested that Altemative 2 would be a more favorable

facility, in comparison to the proposed cost for the Animal Friends/JPA; he
recommended that staff continued participation with the JPA and move
forward with the construction of the shelter.

City Council move forward with Animal Friends/JPA. He indicated that it
would be more efficient, rather than the City taking on the full responsibility.

animal shelter. He indicated that the JPA would be having a tour of the San
Diego facility and the public was invited to attend.

shelter. She concurred with other members of the Council that $9 million was
expensive and urged the Councilman Buckley make sure that the Council's
feelings were well voiced and they would like to see the budget trimmed
where possible. She noted that Lake Elsinore would be responsible for paying
28.1 % of the shelter's cost, based on the amount of animals hzmed in from the
Lake Elsinore area; and the Council had been assured that percentage wouid

drop if the animals were not turned in from the Lake Elsinore area. She
questioned who would be responsible for all of the calculations and make sure
the numbers were accurate.
Mayor Magee commented that from what he understood it to be, Animal
Friends of the Valley audited annually and the numbers would be adjusted
annually. Mrs. Anderson, representative of Animal Friends confirmed that
Mayor Magee was correct.

before there was any final commitment for funding.

obligation to provide humane treatment and shelter to domesticated animals
that could not take care of themselves. He further indicated that Council had
directed staff to come up with altematives to joining the JPA; and staff had

City Manager Brady gave an overview of the item and deferred to
Administrative Services Director Pressey.
Mayor Magee opened the public hearing at 8:00 p.m.
Deputy City Clerk Ray noted that the Notice of Public Hearing was
published in accordance with the Mello-Roos Community Facilities act
of 1982 and proof of such publication was on file in the City Clerk's
Office.
Administrative Services Director Pressey along with Bond Counsel Don
Hunt gave a more in-depth overview of the item.
Mayor Magee requested testimony from the public for or against the
district formation. Mayor Magee noted that there was no request to
speak.
City Treasurer Weber announced that he was opposed to the CFD. He
indicated that it was due to a bond the Bond Counsel had done in 2003,
which was a refinancing bond. He indicated that he was not satisfied
with the results that had been presented to him regarding an ongoing
audit regarding bonds by the Bond Counsel. He noted that 1998 and
1999 tax statements were missing. He noted that there were
delinquencies in the taxes that were paid. He indicated that there were
banlc statements missing.
Councilman Hickman requested clarification to what City Treasurer
Weber was requesting. City Treasurer Weber clarified that he would
like the Council to continue the item until the bond issues were
answered.
MOVED BY HICKMAN, SECONDED BY BUCKLEY TO CONTINUE

Page Thirty - City Council Minutes - August 9, 2005
Councilwoman Kelley explained that the item before Council was for
the Villages at Wasson Canyon; and they would be penalized, while the
Council was waiting for the audit results. She noted that the Council
had already voted and established that an audit was being done on all of
the bonds that had been released. She requested that Administrative
Services Director Pressey or Mr. Hunt responded to City Treasurer
Weber's comments.
Mr. Hunt explained that Mr. Gunn had been working with City
Treasurer Weber in regard to the audit, and he had not been involved in
that process and was not able to answer to those issues. He indicated
that there were documents that the trustee had not been able to provide.
He noted that the hustee was hired specifically to keep the records on
behalf of the City and distribution of all of the monies.
Administrative Services Director Pressey explained that along with
himself, Councilman Hickman and City Treasurer Weber had all
attended meetings and they had reviewed the documents that Financial
Advisor Rod Gunn had prepared. He indicated that the missing
information related to Bank of New York, in which the City no longer
used as trustee. He noted that Union Bank of Califomia had provided
all of the missing statements that were not in the City's records, which
dated back to 1997 and 1998. He noted that there would be request
made to Bank of New York for the statements.
Councilwoman Kelley clarified that there were unresolved issues, not
lost items. Mr. Pressey commented that the fiscal agent bank statements
accounted for a specific year, but once Bank of New York was
contacted then the issue would be resolved.
Mayor Magee requested that any other property owners subject to the
proposed special taxes who wished to file written protest do so at this
time with the City Clerk.
Councilman Buckley questioned the time frame for the next CFD. Mr.
Pressey advised that there would be another CFD coming before

City Manager Brady gave an overview of the item. He noted that the
City had received a letter the day before from the County of Riverside
regarding the alignment of Bundy Canyon Road on which they were
requesting consideration to how it would affect this particular property.

via a letter on June 17th. He further noted that the City had not received
a response from the County regarding that letter; and the County was
notified of the Planning Commission hearing of the item and the County
had not submitted a comment at that time. He indicated that the
Planning Commission was recommending approval to the City Council.

Alan Young, Alesco Development representative, commented that they
were creating a second viable industrial area to Lake Elsinore. He
explained that they had attempted to work with the County regarding an
alignment and they were non-responsive and noncommittal.
MOVED BY HICKMAN, SECONDED BY KELLEY TO ADOPT
RESOLUTION NO. 2005-108, ADOPTING FINDINGS OF
CONSISTENCY WITH THE MSHCP.
Councilman Hickman noted that this was a difficult decision to make.
Mayor Magee explained that in July 2004 the City provided a design
alternative for the extension of Bundy Canyon Road from Mission Trail
to Corydon Road, in September 2004 the County agreed to work
together with the City on the design and aligrunent of that project. He
indicated that after no response, he contacted the Supervisor's Office in
April 2005 and met with the Supervisors Office in May 2005, which
followed to separate letters, one from himself and another from City
staff. He noted that no meeting occurred with all parties until last
Thursday, at that meeting the County decided that they preferred the
altemative that would eliminate the development before Council at this
time.
Councilman Buckley expressed that the design appeared light in the
landscaping and the front loading docks were too blunt. He indicated
that the issue with the County sadly followed a pattern that had occurred
in the past.
Councilman Buckley suggested continuing the item for two weeks. He
indicated that he had met with County staff regarding the issue when he
served as Mayor. He commented that it was very frustrating.
Councilwoman Kelley indicated that she had no problem with the
design. She noted that the County was not going to build a road in the
City limits. She noted that there was no need to punish the applicant for
the County's non-responsiveness.

residents of Ulla Lane had filed a lawsuit because they felt their street
should be closed off by a gate. She indicated that if Ulla Lane was
closed off by a gate, her street which was a 60-house tract would have
between 480 and 520 cars utilizing that street. She requested to have
her street gated if Ulla Lane was to be gated. She commented that
Council would be putting all the traffic onto her tract. She noted that
her neighbors opposed this action.
Mark McDorman, 3740 Ulla Lane, yielded his time to the attorney
representing Ulla Lane.
Mayor Magee advised Mr. McDorman he was allowed three minutes
and his attomey would be allowed three minutes. Mr. McDorman
declined to address the Council.
Robert Sadlak, 3760 Ulla Lane, indicated that he had been in that
neighborhood for seven years and had moved there specifically because
it was a small private street.
Charles Delgado, attorney representing Ulla Lane residents, commented
that his firm had filed a lawsuit on behalf of the LJlla Lane residents. He
indicated that he had spoken with litigation counsel for the City last
week and his firm felt that there was a better way to obtain their
objectives. He indicated that he had spoken with the developer legal
counsel. He indicated that he would be in discussion with the developer
next week and hopefully the City would be in support of those
discussions.
David Leonard, Wesco Development representative, commented that
the developer could make the project work with ar without the gate. He
requested that condirion no. 60 and 61 be deleted if there was to be a
gate. He noted that these conditions required off-site improvements to
Ulla Lane. He requested that if no gate was imposed, that the City
allowed them to annex the park site and parkways into a Landscape and
Lighting Maintenance District and the full burden of the cost of that
district be imposed on the residents of the tract map. He requested that
condition no. 68 be change to have a tag signal as approved by the City

Engineer. He thanked staff for their help.
Councilman Hickman inquired if Mr. Delgado was requesting a
continuance. Mr. Delgado indicated that he was not.
Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner indicated that the dedication was still an offer
and all the City had to do was accept, and Ulla Lane would become a
public street. He noted that he must take in consideration the other 44
people that this would affect, not just the half dozen people on Ulla
Lane.
Councilman Buckley commented that the residents of Ulla Lane had
been paying taxes on the land under Ulla Lane. He suggested an
emergency access for emergency vehicles. He indicated that if it was to
be considered a private street than it was the Ulla Lane resident's
responsibility to maintain the street. He noted that Mr. Leonard had
been exceptional with dealing with the Ulla Lane residents. He
indicated that if the emergency access or a gate was put in place than the
City would not have any responsibility to Ulla Lane.
Councilwoman Kelley commented that Mr. Leonard had reconfigured
some of the designs to try and please the residents of Ulla Lane. She
expressed that it sadden her that a lawsuit was filed before the Council
had a chance to go through the process. She indicated that she must
make her decision off what was in the best interest of the entire City.
Mayor Magee commented that he supported everyone's right to
challenge the decision through the judicial system. He expressed that he
was offended that someone would challenge the Council before they
had the ability to make a decision. He indicated that the lawsuit was Pat
Kilroy v. City of Lake Elsinore. He noted that this was the second time
Mr. Kilroy had used an attorney to threaten or intimidate the Council.
He did not understand why Mr. Kilroy continued to accept a paycheck if
he did not believe in the process and did not believe in the leadership
that the voters put in office. He commented that he had met with the
residents on Ulla Lane, met with the developers and had visited the
street many times. He indicated that Mr. Kilroy had never contacted

him to discuss the issue.
Mayor Magee indicated that the developer had gone out of his way to
engineer a unique project. He indicated that the residents of Ulla Lane
wanted to maintain the serenity of Ulla Lane. He indicated that he
would support Councilman Buckley's recommendation to gate Ulla
Lane and it be used for emergency access only, but not require the
developer to do additional street improvements on Ulla Lane except as
it direcfly impacted his development.
MOVED BY SCHIFFNER, SECONDED BY KELLEY TO APPROVE
THE PROJECT AS SUBMITTED AND ACCEPT THE DEDICATION
OF ULLA LANE AS A PUBLIC STREET.
Councilman Buckley requested clarification of the type of gate. Mayor
Magee indicated that he would prefer that it was for emergency access
only.
Mr. Leonard commented that the arrangement with the County Fire
Department was an exit only with two way travel and emergency only;
the gate would expand a fully improved street. He indicated that it
would be a censored activated gate.
City Attorney Leibold requested that the Council postpone or withdraw
consideration of the motion until the preliminary items of consistency
with the MSHCP, the Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2005-02 and

City Manager Brady indicated that it would be the responsibility of the HOA
for the new tract to ensure the gate was functioning properly.
Councilwoman Kelley commented that condition of approval #51 directed the
HOA to take care of the park facilities. She inquired if that was a public park,
should the condition be changed.
Community Services Director Sapp explained that it was viewed as a gated
community and not available to the public, therefore it was the HOA's
responsibility to maintain the park facility; and if a public park staff would

work had been pretty good. He also commented on the split of the City Clerk
and Human Resources functions.

PAGE TWO STUDY SESSION MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 22, 2005
Joe Janczyk, Empire Economics, stated that his firm performed the Market
Absorption Study underlying the CFD financing. He gave further detail of the
study and proceeded to give an overview of his firm's background as well as his
own. He noted the findings of the study and gave his firm's conclusion.
Jim Harris, Harris Realty Appraisal, noted that his firm was the appraiser on recent
CFD issuances. He noted the process for real estate development.
Berri Cannon, Harris Realty Appraisal, ga~e an overview of a proposed master
planned community and provided brief descriptions of Raw Un-entitled Land, Raw
land with Vesting Tentative Tract Map and Raw land with Recorded Final Tract
Map. She further noted the development steps taken by merchant builders and the
costs affiliated with each step.
Dennis Anderson, Harris & Associates, gave a brief history on the past CFDs in
the City. He stated that the current policy for the tax structure was 2% of the total
value of the home at the time the district was formed. He noted that the 2% would
include the total property tax value from the County and other tax and assessments
from EVMWD, Lake Elsinore Unified School District, the County of Riverside
and other entities. He further noted that the policy allowed for a 2% annual
escalator that was allowed for the Mello-Roos code. He noted that for residential
properties the tax rate could not increase more than 2% per year. He further stated
the range of special taxes currently in districts.
Mr. Pressey noted that one of the proposed changes in the policy was to consider
changing the 2% escalator to 0%, which would be driven by the bond debt
structure. He further noted the impact that it would have on the homeowner.
Anthony Wetherbee, Southwest Securities - City's underwriter, noted that the
rationale for the proposed change was due to the state of the economy.
Rod Gunn, Rod Gunn Associates, stated that under the State's Mello-Roos statutes
the City Council adopts a level of special tax.
Agenda Item No.

PAGE THREE STUDY SESSION MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 22, 2005
Mr. Anderson gave an overview of DAG fees and what they would be used to
finance. He stated that improvements to public facilities would be covered under
the Mello-Roos code which would allow for financing of the construction of any
public or capital facilities. He noted the advantages of financing impact fees. He
further noted the City's current fees.
Mr. Pressey commented that at a previous study session the issue of whether or not
to finance DAG fees was addressed. He noted the advantages and disadvantages
of DAG fees.
Mr. Gunn gave an overview of the credit quality of financing noting absorption,
credit quality of developer and feasibility of project.
Mr. Wetherbee stated that when he was looking at a Mello-Roos project or land
secured financing he would use the acronym FAST. He noted that it stood for
feasibility, appraisal, structure and time of financing. He then gave a brief
description of each item.
Margie Armstrong, EVMWD, stated that the district, to date, has done 8 CFDs.
She noted that their structure was very similar; however, a little mare restrictive.
She stated that their financing policy specified that they have a level debt service.
She noted that they do allow for the 2% escalator on a case-by-case basis, and must
have special approval. She noted that their value-to-lien ratio was 4-l, and for that
reason developers tend to go to the City or school district.
Councilwoman Kelley inquired on the school district fees per home.
Mr. Pressey noted that he did not have that information available, but would look
into the matter.
Mr. Anderson indicated that the fees were charged per square foot.
Mrs. Kelley inquired if the school district had been approached to work with the
City in regard to the matter.
Agenda Item No.
Page Of
PAGE FOUR STUDY SESSION MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 22, 2005
Mr. Pressey noted that he had made contact with the school district.
Councilman Hickman requested clarification on the definition of level debt service.
Mr. Anderson noted that the Mello Roos code allowed an additional 10% coverage
to cover delinquencies.
Councilman Hickman stated that the Bond Council did an outstanding job. He
further inquired about the total amount of outstanding bonds.
Mr. Pressey indicated that he believed there was $50 -$60 million worth of
outstanding CFD bonds.
Councilman Hickman inquired if people would be able to pay off their Mello Roos
if level debt servicing was decided upon.
Mr. Anderson indicated that the prepayment clause would need to be looked at;
however, it would be as simple enough as multiplying out the payoff cost.
City Treasurer Weber indicated he felt the best interests of the City were being
met. He stated that it was the City's responsibility to manage the funds correctly.
He noted that he thought the 0% escalator was a good thing. He further inquired
how the City handled and met the demands of delinquencies.
Mr. Anderson stated that the tax would need to be increased in the subsequent year
to cover what was paid for delinquencies in the prior year. He noted that the rate
and method of taxation did have a maximum tax. He further noted that the tax was
only able to increase by 2% annually.
Mr. Weber inquired on the City's process to foreclose on a home that has not paid
their property taxes.
Mr. Anderson gave an overview of the process of how to check on payments for
property tax and the steps that would be taken if the payment on the property tax
had not been made.
Agenda Item No.
Page Of
PAGE FIVE STUDY SESSION MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 22, 2005
Mr. Pressey noted that it had been a number of years since the City had to
foreclose on a property. He further noted that they have not yet had to bill for
delinquencies.
Mr. Weber stated he thought the Council should be informed on the delinquencies.
He further inquired how fees were organized to ensure they were spent on the
appropriate item and not unrelated issues.
Mr. Pressey indicated that there were government laws that addressed impact fees.
He noted that there were separate funds for each of the impact fees; he further
noted that they were incorporated into the CIP budget.
Mr. Weber suggested that he would like to track the money amounts for the fees
collected for the year.
Mr. Pressey indicated that once bonds were issued and the City received the fees,
they would then be placed in the appropriate account for a specific designated use.
He noted that the fees collected were not always tied to the development, but to a
specific designated use.
Mr. Pressey indicated that all funds of the City were reported in financial
statements on a yearly basis.
Mr. Weber stated that he would like to see updates on the activity of the
construction fund.
Mr. Pressey noted that Harris & Associates issued an annual CFD report, as well as
NBS Government Services which included an update of the balances.
Weber suggested that the construction fund be audited by an independent auditor.
Councilman Hickman inquired if the builders sent Harris & Associates the invoice
to allocate the money.
Agenda Item No.
Page Of
PAGE SIX STUDY SESSION MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 22, 2005
Mr. Anderson stated that theyxequire the developer to send them the invoice and
proof of payment, all executed contracts and proof that they did receive 3
competitive bids which showed they awarded to the lowest responsible bidder.
Mr. Hunt stated that all construction funds for all of the CFDs were held by a
trustee.
Councilman Buckley inquired if it was cheaper for a homeowner to ha~e a CFD or
to pay the money up front as part of the mortgage.
Mr. Janczyk stated that the rates on a tax-exempt bond were at a 5% range and
rates on mortgages would depend upon whether someone was looking at fixed-rate
mortgage or adjustable-rate mortgage. He noted that mortgage rates were similar
to rates on the tax exempt bonds presently, and would appear that they were very
close in regard to the homeowner's total out of pocket expense.
Councilman Buckley inquired about the informal notification process to Council
on their willingness to approve a CFD Bond.
Mr. Gunn stated that the Bond Council did not have their first meeting on a CFD
until Council approved the Tentative Map. He also stated that whether or not a
CFD would be affiliated with a Tentative Map could be apart of the developer's
Tentative Map application.
Mr. Buckley inquired on the prospect of having a 1.8% cap in place of not having
an escalator.
Mr. Gunn noted that the numbers might come out differently; but if that was the
direction the City wanted to go in, the numbers should be fairly comparable.
Mr. Anderson noted that if an escalator was added in, the nutnbers would increase
over time and the level debt would be lower over the fu1130 years in terms of total
taxes paid.
Agenda Item No.
Page Of
PAGE SEVEN STUDY SESSION MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 22, 2005
Mr. Gunn noted that it would be easier for a developer to sell a home advertising a
1.8% cap in the market place.
Mr. Wetherbee stated that the CFD debt was not the debt of the City in terms of
someone analyzing the City's financial statements. He noted that the City had the
responsibility of the administration of the debt.
Mr. Buckley inquired if various independent audits were taken out of CFD funds.
Mr. Anderson noted that fees for audits were taken out of the CFD funds.
Mr. Buckley inquired if the CFD reserve was used to cover delinquencies.
Mr. Anderson noted that the reserve must be replenished and kept at a certain
leveL He noted the steps taken to replenish the reserve in order to keep it at a
certain level.
Mr. Wetherbee noted that the size of the reserve fund was limited by federal tax
laws. He noted the maximum size of reserve funds established by the federal tax
law.
Mr. Wetherbee noted that in a more normalized economy the City could invest the
reserve funds at a 4% or 5% rate of return so the reserve fund earnings could cover
the delinquencies.
Mr. Buckley noted that an annual delinquency report to Council was a good idea.
Mr. Buckley inquired if the City had ever completed payments on any of their
CFDs.
Mr. Pressey indicated that the earliest a CFD would be paid off would be in the
year 2020.
Mr. Buckley inquired if there was a time limit to spend funds for CFDs.
Agenda Item No.

PAGE EIGHT STUDY SESSION MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 22, 2005
Mr. Hunt commented that the federal tax law indicated that all the proceeds would
be spent within 36 months.
Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner inquired if there was an advantage to Mello Ross and if
a home was found more valuable if it had Mello Roos.
Mr. Janczyk stated that he recently dealt with a similar scenario, a home with a
special tax and one without, he stated that there was a price differential.
Mrs. Cannon indicated that when they value a home, they consider many factors
along with taxes. She believed that in the scenario Mr. Schiffner was referring to,
the homes would not appraise for the same value.
Mr. Harris noted that his firm did not appraise individual houses.
Mr. Schiffner indicated that with his personal experience the appraisers indicated
that Mello Roos did not make a difference with the property value.
Mrs. Cannon noted that there were all different kinds of appraisers and that the
value of the home may vary with various appraisers.
Mr. Weber noted that it would be helpful to have an overview of the items
discussed among the finance team to help inform the Council and himself with
what was going on and what was going forward in regard to developments.
Mr. Gunn stated that he maintained a master calendar that he provided to Mr.
Pressey that could be formalized and distributed.
Mr. Buckley suggested that the City create a pamphlet explaining a CFD to
provide to homeowners.
Mr. Hunt stated that law required the developer to be responsible to provide
specific disclosure to every homeowner in a Mello Roos district and advised the
City to consider liability issues before taking on the responsibility.
Agenda Item No.

PAGE NINE STUDY SESSION MINTJTES - SEPTEMBER 22, 2005
Mayor Magee noted how staff was looking for direction on policy changes and
inquired about asking staff to send out letters to the school district, water district
and the BIA encouraging their comments on the changes that Council was
considering on the existing CFD policy.
Mr. Magee gave an overview of the items that had been addressed up to that point.
Mr. Magee inquired when they would like to see the policy back.
Mrs. Kelley stated that she would like to see staff write letters to the districts and
get a response before meeting again.
Mr. Magee directed staff to send a letter that noted that Council was considering
changes to the CFD policy.
Mr. Buckley inquired if there would be an MOU between the 3 agencies, or 3
independent Ordinances that stood alone on the changes to the CFD policy.
Mr. Pressey stated that he and the Bond Council had discussed having the agencies
add it into their policy.
Mr. Magee questioned City Manager Brady if staff had adequate direction on the
item.
Mr. Brady indicated that he felt staff had adequate direction.

She explained that City Park was a community park. She continued to
explain that the property was donated by a private resident in the 1880's; and
the community came together to build the park. She expressed her concerns
about not renaming things unless it involved the person that actually started
it. She felt Castle & Cooke's offer of naming the sports park in the Alberhill
Ranch development in her honor was an excellent idea.
Councilwoman Kelley commented that something needed to be done to
honor polores Mayhall; and Council was aware of Castle & Cooke's offer.
MOVED BY SCHIFFNER, SECONDED BY MAGEE TO CONTINUE THE
ITEM FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATION.

every day for decades. He expressed his support for the motion on the floor,
which would allow the Historical Society, Castle & Cooke and the Little
League community to provide Council with additional information; and also

responded. She noted that the City had won every lawsuit in which the City
Attorney was the representation.
Mayor Magee inquired if the suggestion made by Councilman Buckley was
feasible and put in the City Manager's Weekly Memo format.
City Attorney Leibold suggested a format outside of the context of the
weekly. She noted attorney client privilege; and some of the issues they
were warking on were privilege communication. Councilman Buckley
noted that it would need to be presented in closed session.
Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner amended the motion and Councilwoman Kelley

Agenda Item No._
Page_ of
Page 39 - City Council Minutes - December 13, 2005
Mr. Preisendanz gave overview of the item. He indicated that the project
went before the Planning Commission on November 15, 2005. He clarified
that the CUP approved by the Planning Commission referenced two sites
(Site 1 and Site 2) and that the project for Site 1 was the only item before the
City Council. Any future hotel proposal for Site 2 will require a CUP and
design review entitlements. As to Site 1, the Planning Commission
approved a CUP which became final following the expiration of the appeal
period. Mr. Preisendanz explained that the Commercial Design Review for
Site 1 was the only issue on Council's Agenda. He further indicated that the
Planning Commission was recommending approval to the City Council. He
noted that traffic issues were reviewed.
City Manager Brady restated that the CUP far Site 1 had been approved by
the Planning Commission and became final upon expiration of the appeal
period. The Commercial Design Review was the item on the City Council
agenda for consideration by the City Council this evening.
William Sampson, 31533 Canyon View Drive, commended the Council and
staff on efforts to expand the growth of the City. He expressed his concerns
with being selective in the types of businesses being brought into the
community. He indicated that he was greatly concerned with a hotel being
in close proximity of his housing tract. He requested that Council reconsider
the hotel being in that particular location.
Lon Bike, Architectural Team Three, commented that he was the architect
on the project. He indicated that they have met all the concerns of staff.
William Arnold, 31556 Sagecrest Drive, commented that the concerns and
attitude of the immediate community surrounding the hotel had not been
taken into consideration. He indicated that the Planning Commission Notice
of Public Hearing was noticed incorrectly. He noted that with proper
noticing the community would have responded as they were at this time. He
commented that the growth in their area was benefiting one person. He
expressed his views on the street lights and ancient equipment this individual
has placed in their community. He pleaded with the Council that his
residential community be treated fairly.
Paul Van Duzee, 21058 Kimberly Court, commented that he understood that
there was the possibility of two hotels in that area. He requested that
Council reconsider the approval of this project.
Agenda Item No.

Gary Gibson, 31516 Sagecrest Drive, commented on school buses not being
able to properly travel the lanes due to trucks being parked on the streets.
He commented on the traffic on Canyon Estates Drive. He also commented
on the parking from Washington Mutual customers and employees. He
indicated that he had spoken with Community Development Director
Preisendanz. He noted the carefulness of the word usage of Mr.
Preisendanz. He indicated that he asked if former Councilmember Pam
Brinley was working with the owner and did not receive a straight answer.
Jason Leinen, 31520 Sagecrest Drive, commented that the community was
attending the meeting because they care about the community. He noted that
he was against improper growth. He indicated that this project was not
planned for progress. He commented that the hotel needed to be built in a
more logical place. He noted that the community would not benefit from the
project, only the developer, property owner and manufacturers of decorative
towers.
Bob Spiegel, 21066 Kimberly Court, commented that he was against any
hotel in Canyon Estates. He commented on the traffic issues that the project
would bring.
David Moon, 31605 Ridgecrest Drive, commented that his community was
not against commercial growth. He noted that they were against this
particular project. He noted he had a petition with over 100 signatures that
were against the project. He noted some of the comments made by Mr.
Trivedi, Project Manager to the Planning Commission.
Bill Dixon, 21067 Kimberly Court, commented that he was told by staff he
would need to pay to file an appeal. He commented that it was not right that
he would need to pay to be heard. He noted that the Planning Commission
had more power than the Council with regards to this project. He indicated
that the Council was elected by the people, but the Planning Commission
had the power. He questioned the community trust in the Council if this was
the case. He noted the incorrect noticing posted on the site. He noted the
traffic issues. He indicated that if the Planning Commission had reviewed
the facts that were provided, they could not have made this decision. He
further indicated that they errored in the decision and should be held
accountable.

Kim Cousins, Lake Elsinore Valley Chamber of Commerce, commented that
the Chamber supported the project as proposed. He indicated that the
community needed a hotel.
Sachin Trivedi, Project Manager, commented that they had done everything
to satisfy the LEMC and design issues. He noted that the traffic generated
by this hotel would be significantly less than other business. He indicated
that the hotel was not designed for semi-trucks and RV's. He commented
that they removed two rooms to create a community meeting center. He
noted that most of their clients were business clients.
Councilmember Buckley inquired if the land owner was present. He
indicated that CUP's were for exceptional projects such as the airport and
motocross track. He suggested having the CUP Ordinance changed to
CUP's determined by the Council. He noted that CUP's lasted one year.
City Attorney Leibold explained that a building permit had to be pulled
within a one year period ar the CUP would expire. Councilmember Buckley
indicated that it was a failure in the notice.
Councilmember Buckley indicated that the building itself was not that bad.
He indicated that there was a problem with the parking issue. He indicated
that the zoning was neighborhood commercial, which meant things that the
neighborhood could use. He indicated that there were exemptions for the
height and the square footage which was not usually permitted. He indicated
that he could not support the project.
Councilmember Hickman commented that staff used a traffic study from a
2000 study when there were 45 homes in that particular area. He noted that
when the study was done the bridge over Frarilclin connecting into the
Canyon Estates area was not built. He also noted the Washington Mutual
employees parking in the street. He indicated that the CUP approval process
needed to be changed. He noted that Planning Commission Chairman La
Pere's term was ending June 2006 and it was a possibility he would run for
City Council in 2006. He also suggested removing the fee far filing appeals.
Councilmember Kelley commented that the decision had to be made on fact
findings and what was before Council. She noted that she had been a
resident since 1984. She indicated that the prior zoning was residential and
in 2000 a zone change was brought before Council. City Manager Brady
confirmed and noted that neighborhood meetings were held. He noted that
Agenda Item No._
Page_ of

the Specific Plan listed permitted uses and conditionally permitted uses and
further allowed the Planning Commission to add conditionally permitted
uses by adoption of a resolution. Councilmember Kelley confurned that the
Planning Commission by Resolution gave the hotel use permission to be
there and approved the CUP. She also clarified that the CUP needed to be
appealed within 10 days with a applicable fee, unless appealed by a
councilmember; which no fee would be required. Councilmember Kelley
questioned if Community Development Director Preisendanz had spoken
with any of the residents about the appeal process.
Mr. Preisendanz indicated that he had spoken with Mr. Dixon the Friday of
the Planning Commission Meeting; which was a holiday; and instructed Mr.
Dixon to file the appeal by 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Councilmember Kelley deferred to City Attomey Leibold to clarify the item
Council was reviewing on this agenda. City Attorney Leibold indicated that
it was the Commercial Design Review.
City Attorney Leibold explained that any future proposal regarding a hotel
on Site 2 would require a CUP for that site and would undergo the same
process of design review. She clarified that the only use before Council
related to Site 1.
Councilmember Kelley clarified that if the design review was denied, then a
new design would need to be brought back; but the project would not go
away. City Attorney Leibold explained that under the Lake Elsinore
Municipal Code if the application for design review was modified in such a
substantial way that the issues had not been considered by the Planning
Commission it would be taken back to the Planning Commission, and then
to the City Council. She further explained that if the application was denied
the Code prohibited the applicant from submitting the same or substantially
the same design for that same use within a one year period. City Attorney
Leibold further explained in more detail that following the denial of a design
review application or the revocation of a design review approval, no
application for a design review for the same or substantially same design
concept on the same or substantially the same site shall be filed within one
year from the date of denial or the revocation of the design review.
Councilmember Kelley commented that there was a possibility of exposing
the City to litigation.

Councilmember Kelley commented that the project was not directly on
Canyon Estates Drive; but was actually back one lot facing the freeway in a
diagonal design. She noted that between the hotel and Canyon Estate Drive
there was a possible business building to be proposed for that lot. She
indicated that she had spoken with the project manager regarding the traffic,
parking and the height of the building.
Councilmember Kelley requested that the City Attorney explain the issue
with the notice.
City Attorney Leibold explained that the published notice was correct and
was the required notice under the provision of the code. She deferred to
Community Development Director Preisendanz. Mr. Preisendanz explained
that the notice mailed out and sent to the newspaper had correct dates. He
indicated that the notice posted on the site reflected an incorrect date. City
Attorney Leibold indicated that the notice did not undermine the action of
the Planning Commission.
Councilmember Kelley requested an update from City Manager Brady
regarding the improvements to Railroad Canyon Road. Mr. Brady indicated
that the Council had funded $1.4 million for interim improvements and there
were ultimate improvements to be done. He noted that the interim
improvement would be within the next six months. He noted that the
ultimate improvements would probably take place to 5 years from now.
Councilmember Kelley stated that the hotel would have less traffic than
other businesses that could be in that location. She noted that there was not
a decent hotel within the City. She noted that she would be voting to
support the hotel.
City Treasurer Weber commented that in 1990, $55 million in bonds were
issued and in 1997 the bonds had defaulted due to mismanagement. He
noted that Councilmember Kelley was elected in 1994. He indicated that
she was part of the workout plan, and part of the plan was giving away a lot
of things to the developer and one was to give the developer that whole
section of property that was now commercial. He indicated that the
developer did not have to pay any special tax in which the City was now
burdened with that tax. He commented that last year there were 81ots that
were supposed to be for a fire station or park that Council allowed the
developer to make residential. He indicated that the developer had made

campaign contributions to some councilmembers. He commented that it was
a disgrace that former councilmember Pam Brinley was trying to politic the
councilmembers to vote for this project.
Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner commented that this is a difficult decision. He
indicated that he respected the right of each resident. He indicated that this
facility would not be the type of property the residents anticipated. He
indicated that any hotel in the City would be a valuable improvement. He
indicated that he would support the project.
Mayor Magee commented that the Council was sensitive to the needs of the
Summerhill residents. He indicated that he was concerned about the notice
issue and he could not ignore that. He indicated that there was a parking
issue not only with the hotel, but also with Canyon Estates Drive. He
commented on the traffic issues. He commented that he lived and worked in
the City and he traveled that area almost everyday. He indicated that
another hotel was needed in Lake Elsinore. He commented that he stood on
the other side of the dais two years ago and his voice was not heard and he
would not forget that feeling. He indicated that there needed to be more
community outreach between the developer, land owner and community.
He further indicated that there can't be hearing like this every time a project
was proposed in that particular development. He commented that he could
not support the project as designed.

Cooperation Agreement, which establishes the relationship among the
County Flood Control, property owner and the City regarding drainage
improvements on the site, was brought before the City Council in March
2005. She explained that at that time, consideration of the Agreement was
continued off-calendar in order to allow the parties to resolve inconsistencies
with a previously approved lease agreement between the City and developer.
She further explained that the inconsistencies had been resolved by way of
an implementation agreement, such that the lease agreement could be
implemented in a manner that was consistent with County Flood Control
requirements.

35. Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fee Agreement and Inclusionary Housin~
Conditions of ap roval.
Mayor Magee introduced the item and deferred to City Attorney Leibold.
City Attorney Leibold ga~e an overview of the item. She indicated that the
California Community Redevelopment Law requires that 15°/a of all new
construction within the boundaries of a RDA project area is required to meet
certain affordable housing standards. She explained that the City has, in an
effort to assist the RDA in the implementation of its Redevelopment Plans
and to address its own affordable housing goals and obligations, conditioned
residential projects within the boundary of RDA project areas with a
condition of approval requiring that those projects to 15% of the units as
affordable housing, or alternative equivalent action such as the donation of
land or payment of an in-lieu fee. She commented that there were several
developers with projects that had this condition of approval. She indicated
that most of them expressed an interest in paying an in-lieu fee. She noted
the RDA Committee had reviewed the item and they had recently
recommended to the City Council that the condition could be satisfied by the
payment of the in-lieu fee equal to $2 per square foot for projects with
existing entitlements conditioned upon satisfaction of the affordable housing
requirement.
City Attorney Leibold explained that there was a clarification requested by
one of the developers that that she felt was consistent with the City and the
Agency intent. The requested clarification is that if the fee is paid in
accardance with terms of the agreement, the City and the Agency cannot
pursue any additional exactions with respect to affordable housing as to that
project.
City Attorney Leibold indicated that the RDA Advisory Committee
recommended that the City continue to evaluate the affordability gap and
policy issues in connection with a Citywide Inclusionary Housing
Ordinance; but between tonight and the effective date of a proposed
Ordinance; that the City and the development community have some
certainty as to what in-lieu fee would acceptable. She noted that the
advisory committee was recommending $3.50 per square foot as the in-lieu
fee for future projects that came between tonight and the date of a future
Ordinance.
Agenda Item No._

Scott Woodward, property owner of Lakeview Villas commented that his
project would be subject to the advisory committee's recommendation of $2
per square foot, in which he supported.
Kristine Zortman, Shopoff Group, requested that Council move forward with
adopting the Ordinance at the $2 per square foot. She expressed that there
was a need for the development industry and BIA to get more involved and
to commission an economic study to decide on an adequate fee.
City Treasurer Weber commented on the fees. He indicated that $2 was a
low fee. He commented that the City could not continue to give breaks to
developers at the cost of the City's fiscal health.
Councilmember Buckley commented that the fee was needed and an
Ordinance needed to be created. He also suggested adding a density
program.
Councilmember Hickman questioned the fee and how it would affect the
developers. Mr. Scott Woodward commented it would be a difference of
$497,000 and $570,000. He indicated that with all the fees included he pays
$30,000 in fees per unit in Lake Elsinare.
Councilmember Kelley commented that the fees were passed along to the
homebuyer thus making the gap bigger for home affordability.
Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner commented that he would be in support of the $2
fee until the Ordinance was in place.
Mayor Magee commented that the $2 fee needed to be carried far a
minimum of six months. He indicated that it should be brought back before
Council for the first meeting in June. He also indicated that there needed to
be workshops with the RDA Committee taking the lead and the City needed
to encourage the building community to participate and encourage them to
build the actual product and not just pay the fee. He indicated that he agreed
with Councilmember Buckley regarding the density program.
