Recommendation: The sub - committee will make a recommendation to the City
Council for consideration and shall nominate its selected applicants at the
meeting. A vote will be called for each nomination, and the applicants receiving
the highest number of affirmative votes from the majority of the Council present
shall be appointed.
Mayor Pro Tern Magee announced that he and Council Member Hickman conducted
interviews with the applicants who applied to serve on the Public Safety Advisory
Commission. He indicated that there are two vacancies and that they were impressed
with the level of professionalism and caliber of the applicants. He stated after careful
review the subcommittee agreed to recommend to the entire Council to reappoint
former Commissioner Jay Stewart and first time appointment of Elizabeth Dana. He
requested the City Clerk to retain the applications of Mr. Lewis and Mr. Rodriquez
should another opening occur that they be considered to fill such vacancy.
It was moved by Mayor Pro Tern Magee and seconded by Council Member Hickman to
appoint Jay Stewart and Elizabeth Dana to serve on the Public Safety Advisory
Commission. The motion carried unanimously.
(15) Policy Regarding the Use of Badges
Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council review and discuss
this policy and direct staff accordingly.
Council Member Melendez advised the public that this item was brought forth for
discussion because recently the entire City Council was provided with badges. She
stated the badges include the name of the Council Member along with their position.
She saw the cost of each badge and stated she wasn't sure what precipitated the need
for the badge, however wanted to make sure a policy was in place so that the badges
were not abused. City Manager Brady stated the purpose of the badge is for
identification. He indicated that at one time, this type of badge was issued to all elected
officials in the City. He spoke with former Mayor Bhutta with regards to ordering the
badges, which she then authorized.
Council Member Tisdale pointed out to the public the purpose of why City officials carry
badges. He stated the problem is that the badges have their names on them, and
therefore they can't be recycled. Because of that reason he decided to pay for the
badge himself which would allow him to keep the badge.
Mayor Pro Tern Magee agreed with Council Member Tisdale. He stated once he found
out how much each of the badges cost, he reimbursed the City as well. He stated
traditionally these types of badges have been issued for decades, which is why he
asked City Manager Brady to speak with then Mayor Bhutta on reinstituting the tradition.
He stated that he does not believe anyone on the City Council will abuse the badge,
and feels that the only change needed to the policy would be that the badge be issued

at the cost to each Council Member.
Council Member Melendez stated that she liked the idea of having each Council
Member pay for his or her own badge and suggested amending Policy Number 400 -1.
She suggested in the future that the badges not be personalized so they could be
recycled.
It was moved by Council Member Melendez and seconded by Council Member
Hickman to amend policy number 400 -1 to state: at no time shall a Council Member use
the shield in an attempt to represent him or her as a peace officer; at no time shall a
Council Member use the shield for obtaining privileges not otherwise available to a
Council Member or for political purpose; Council Members in receipt of a shield shall be
properly briefed on this policy and user responsibilities; an annual inventory to be
conducted by the City Clerk or City Manager shall be in place to validate the integrity
and location of all Council issued shields; lost or stolen shields shall be reported
promptly to the City Clerk within 14 days or less; Council Members shall reimburse the
City for replacement of lost or stolen shields; and shields shall be returned to City Hall
or shall be paid for by the Council Member if they wish to keep the shield, when the
member no longer serves on the Council to include resignation. The motion passed
unanimously.
(16) City Council Vacancy
Recommendation: In accordance with the requirements of Policy No. 200 -11, it is
recommended to the City Council that it select two City Council Members to
serve as the Appointment Committee to review applications and nominate an
eligible candidate to fill the vacancy at the August 23`d City Council meeting.
Alternatively, the City Council could elect to revise Policy No. 200 -11 to allow 60
days to fill the vacancy or modify the selection procedures.
City Attorney Leibold provided an overview of the item to City Council.
Allen Baldwin, City Treasurer, spoke of the cost to hold a special election.
Council Member Melendez noted that the Council has 30 days to appoint a replacement
or must hold a special election which could cost around $70,000.
It was moved by Council Member Melendez, seconded by Council Member Hickman to
have all members of the City Council take part in the process, that candidates be
interviewed during the August 23`d meeting, which would be an open forum to the public
though not open for public comment, that after the public interview process the City
Council would then discuss the candidates in closed session, select the top minimum
three candidates, and then the entire City Council would vote on those minimum three
candidates in public session and the person who received the majority first would be
selected to fill the vacant seat.

Meeting of August 9, 2011
Page 9 of 13
City Attorney Leibold stated a discussion of an appointment in Closed Session would be
a violation under the Brown Act. Council Member Melendez asked what would be the
alternative. City Attorney Leibold stated that all discussion regarding applicants and the
nomination could take place in public at a regular meeting, special meeting or study
session. She stated that the Council Policy provides for a subcommittee to make a
nomination to the City Council and that the subcommittee was not subject to the Brown
Act. She deferred to the City Council and did not offer a recommendation.
Council Member Tisdale indicated that he does not want to spend $70,000 for a special
election. He stated that the voters have entrusted the Council Members to make
decisions and it is unfortunate that the City can't afford to hold a special election. He
suggested Council Member Melendez and himself to serve as a sub - committee in order
to evaluate all the applicants.
Mayor Pro Tern Magee suggested having Council Member Tisdale and Council Member
Melendez serve as the subcommittee, review all applications, select four to five finalists
to recommend to the Council for public interviews at the meeting of August 23rd and
then vote in public.
Council Member Tisdale suggested having all of the applications posted on the City's
Website. City Attorney Leibold stated that the applications are currently available as a
public record in the City Clerk's office.
A substitute motion was made by Mayor Pro Tern Magee, seconded by Council Member
Tisdale to appoint a subcommittee consisting of Council Member Melendez and Council
Member Tisdale to interview all applicants in a public forum at the City's Cultural Center
and then bring forward four to five finalists for interview at the August 23'd City Council
Meeting where the City Council would vote on a replacement. The motion passed
unanimously.
(17) City Attorney Services
Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council and Agency Board
discuss the City Attorney's services and Legal Services Agreement and provide
direction as appropriate.
Council Member Hickman advised the Council that after consideration he would like to
have this item continued and brought back on the Agenda when the vacant council seat
has been filled. It was moved by Council Member Hickman and seconded by Council
Member Melendez to continue the City Attorney Services for discussion after the
vacancy of the City Council seat has been filled.
Mayor Pro Tern Magee noted that there are six members of the public that have
requested to speak on the matter.
Pete Dawson, Chris Hyland, Donna Franson, Nadine Hays, Allen Baldwin and Harvey
Ryan spoke in support of City Attorney Leibold.
Regular City Council Minutes
Meeting of August 9, 2011
Page 10 of 13
Mayor Pro Tern Magee stated the item was requested to be added to the Agenda and
now is the time to make a decision. He announced that a group of individuals circulated
a petition against the City Attorney. He stated that the first line of the petition states "we
as concerned citizens of Lake Elsinore" is not a true statement as many of the persons
who signed reside outside the city limits. He further stated that the second paragraph
states "in 2005, a grand jury recommended the City open the bidding for selecting a City
Attorney ", which is also a false statement. He indicated in paragraph three it states "our
current City Attorney fees are exceeding $600,000" which is incorrect. He announced
that today he was provided with the total billing of the City Attorney's office for fiscal
year 2011 and the total net billing is $385,000. He stated the final paragraph urges the
City Council to open the process to bidding and get three competitive bids. His reply
was that change is costly and felt that the petition is fraudulent.
A substitute motion was made by Mayor Pro Tern Magee, seconded by Council Member
Tisdale to extend the City Attorney's contract for a two -year term ending June 30, 2013
and amending Section 4 under the method of payment to state all invoices and bills
shall be submitted within 60 days of the work performed; under said invoice any work
product billed more than 60 days after it is preformed will not be paid.
Discussion from Council Member Tisdale stated that this is wasting the public's and
Council's time. He stated that he has reviewed City Attorney Leibold's evaluations for
years and noted that all the Council Members had positive comments.
Council Member Melendez stated that she believes the invoice issues have been
resolved and stated that she thinks that there is the impression that this is causing a
divide among the Council. She noted Mayor Pro Tern Magee's substitute motion
included having the contract renewed in 2013. She suggested having the contract
similar to the City Manager's contract which is renewed annually and adding the clause
regarding billing. Mayor Pro Tern Magee pointed out that the City Manager's contract
was also extended two years.
The vote was called and the substituted motion by Mayor Pro Tern Magee passed 3 to 1
with Council Member Hickman voting no.
The City Council recessed and convened to the Redevelopment Agency at 8:31 p.m.
The City Council reconvened at 8:35 p.m.
PUBLIC COMMENTS — NON - AGENDIZED ITEMS — 3 MINUTES
Jose Gonzalez, resident requested the Council's assistance regarding an issue with his
vehicle and the La Palma Police Department. Mayor Pro Tern Magee requested that he
speak with Police Chief Fontneau regarding the issue.

Police Department. Mayor Pro Tern Magee requested that he discuss the matter with
