approach with the budget as they saw the revenues beginning to decline. He stated,

taxes. He stated, after confirming with the County, they recommended between 10 to
11%. He stated the actual number came in at 17% which he stated was un-heard of.

economy.

savings in overtime.

has been paid and has not changed the figure.
Mayor Melendez pointed out that there are minor changes between the City and the
County's description of services and asked why.
Police Chief Cleary replied by saying the City is contracting through the Riverside
County Sheriffs Department. He indicated not only is the City being charged for Police
but also for policing the lake, and traffic accident investigators. He stated it is only an
estimate. He stated the department has been very fortunate not to have the significant
number of incidents and what other resources would be necessary, such as homicides
which generate an increase in costs. He stated in terms of the mileage, the vehicles
are leased from the County, and how the County recoups the costs, are through the
mileage, and staff does there best to meet the estimate.

put money away for the future. She stated she is not comfortable dipping into the
reserves as indicated in the staff report.

environmental documents since entering into an agreement with SC Engineering.
Council Member Magee said he would like to have an audit performed to determine
where the money is being spent and what services have been performed to date.
Public Works Director Seumalo advised Council that he had the same concerns,
especially since the original agreement was for $300,000. He did anticipate receiving a

Elsinore.
Mayor Melendez asked about Warrant Register 94984 to CalPERS and was advised

two payments of $908.80 made to one of the temporary maintenance employees on the
same date as shown by Warrant Register No. 102193.
Director of Administrative Services Riley and Director of Lake and Aquatic Resources
Kilroy advised that it possibly was for two different time periods but they would look into
it and let her know.
Mayor Melendez asked about Warrant Register No. 102194 to D & S Electric for light
removal.

to the tree-trimming and confirmed that it was something that could not be done in
house.
Mayor Melendez also expressed her concern regarding Warrant Register No. 102251 to
SC Engineering.

funding of the GO-Pass Program at MSJC for the 2010-11 academic year.
Scott Richardson, Manager of Planning and Programs for RTA provided a PowerPoint
Presentation to the Council.
Mayor Pro Tern Bhutta asked how they are reaching out to the students and what the
cost to students would be.
Scott Richardson replied by saying that because they are a publicly funded agency they
are not allowed to promote the initiative, however, he stated the cost is $5.00 per
student per semester which is a discounted rate.
Mayor Pro Tem Bhutta asked how long the ride would be from the City of Lake Elsinore
to MSJC.
Scott Richardson replied by saying, if the bus route began at the Wal-Mart area, it would
take approximately one hour to arrive to the school.
Council Member Hickman noted that since this program has begun, the parking passes
have lowered in cost because of a reduced demand for parking.
(9) A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Lake Elsinore, California to Support
the United States Census - Make Yourself Count Month March 2010

Page 28 of 49
Joint City Council Study Session Page 5 of 12
March 9, 2010
Council Member Magee asked if the Census would be counting the illegal aliens and if
there would be a distinction between US legal and illegal residents.
City Manager Brady did not know the answer.
Council Member Buckley indicated it has been an issue; however, the answer is yes
indicating one of the issues that has come up is that illegal aliens are more than likely
not wanting to be counted.
Mayor Melendez indicated from what she understands is that there is a huge push to
make sure that the Hispanic population is counted, legal or illegal.
Council Member Magee asked if the Census is also counting the homeless.
Council Member Buckley confirmed the homeless are counted.
(10) Extension of Term for Interim City Clerk's Personal Services Contract

Recommendation: That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute
the attached legal representation agreement with the law firm of Reynolds
Jensen & Swan LLP related to the Darwin Rogers Trust subject to any minor
modifications as may be approved by the City Attorney.
Council Member Magee took a moment to recognize Mr. Rogers and expressed he felt
that because of the good treatment Mr. Rogers received from Finance staff is one of the
reasons Mr. Rogers chose to leave all of his property to the City.
(12) Exclusive Use Agreement for the Dr. Sharron Lindsay Community Center
Recommendation: Approve the Exclusive Use Agreement and authorize the City
Manager to execute the agreement.
Council Member Magee asked if it was too late for the City not to enter into the

staff would make the attempt. He noted there is a modification to Section 2.3 from the
agreement and if the Council moves forward, then staff recommends the changes to the

(14) An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Lake Elsinore, California,
Amending Chapter 5.48, Sections 5.48.010, 5.48.020, 5.48.030, 5.48.040,

No. 1274 Amending Chapter 5.48, Sections 5.48.010, 5.48.020, 5.48.030,

bingo.
(15) Annual Financial Reports for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2009
Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council receive and file these
reports.
Council Member Magee noted on page 9 of 14 the miscellaneous is almost as much as
the sales tax and in the future, it needs to be reduced.
Mayor Melendez asked for clarification on page 3 of 14 regarding 6.3 million of the $8.8
million begins for future contingencies.
Director of Administrative Services Riley responded by saying it is for a catastrophe
such as a huge earthquake or flood, and the remaining 3.8 is for the supplemental
reserve/rainy day fund. He stated the term future contingencies is a universal term.
Mayor Pro Tern Bhutta asked about the housekeeping matters.
Director of Administrative Services Riley replied it is for the internal auditor's report of
the internal control of the financial reports, which is disclosed on page 3 of 14. He
Page 30 of 49
Joint City Council Study Session Page 7 of 12

noted the audit took longer than normal and it was suggested to come up with a formal
audit schedule and follow it as best as possible.
(16) Report on the Mid-Year Status of the FY 2009-10 Budget
Recommendation: The net deficit of the revenue decrease and expenditure
reductions (including the decrease in the transfer out to the capital fund) is
$1,142,500. As noted above, staff is recommending using the "savings" from the
prior year Supplemental Revenue Fund of $897,340 and an additional $245,160
from the fund to cover the shortfall. This would leave a balance of $1,395,540 in
the "Rainy Day" Fund.
Council Member Magee addressed the dramatic decreases in revenues that the City
has seen. He stated 17.5% decrease in property taxes alone, which is unheard of and
no one projected this. He stated for a variety of reasons, the City has been hit harder
than most in terms of foreclosures. He indicated the additional decrease in property tax
revenue means about $1 million hit to the City's bottom line. He pointed out to Council
that it is not the fault of staff or management and everyone is going to have to do the
best they can to get through this. Because staff has been so frugal with the funds, they
have saved the City a considerable amount of money.
Council Member Hickman asked if the property transfer taxes increased.
Director of Administrative Services Riley replied, because the homes have gone down
to an average of $185,000 per home from a high of about $420,000.00 which was in the
year 2006, there is a property transfer tax that the City receives for each home when
ownership changes. Because there has been such an increase of ownership changes,
the City has seen an increase of property transfer tax.
Council Member Hickman asked what the "Ballpark" figure is.
Director of Administrative Services replied by saying it is around .55¢ per square foot
per home.
Mayor Melendez asked about the fire tax credit and why staff did not anticipate this
would go down.
Director of Administrative Services Riley replied by saying our consultants do not
provide staff with any information. He stated that information comes directly from the
County Fire Department. He stated when he spoke with the County Fire; they get their
information from auditor controller's office which was received in December. He stated
staff is aware of it and is prepared for 2010 and 2011.
Council Member Buckley noted the difficulties financially, and suggested Council
consider having fireworks during the July 4th weekend to help raise money for the City.
