REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
T0: HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: THOMAS P. EVANS, INTERIM CITY MANAGER
DATE: AUGUST 14, 2012
SUBJECT: ESTABLISHING A CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE AND CITY OF
WILDOMAR SUBCOMMITTEE
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council appoint two members to meet as a
subcommittee with the City of Wildomar for the purpose of coordinating common policy
issues between the two bordering cities.
Discussion
Currently the Mayor has appointed the Council Members to subcommittees with the Lake
Elsinore Unified School District (LEUSD) and Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District
(EVMWD). These subcommittees were formed to provide a forum for information exchange
and the coordination of solving common policy issues. An example of the coordination and
cooperation can be seen with the City's Safe Routes to School Program. Issues such as these
are examples of how communicating needs across agencies often times lead to joint problem
solving.
Similarly, the Mayors of each city have had communications over the last few months
regarding formalizing a relationship by starting with a subcommittee of two Council members
from each City and holding meetings to share information and solve common policy issues. A
short list of possible topic areas could involve the following:
• Joint Economic Development efforts
• Jointly addressing quality of life issues
• Addressing mutual impacts with traffic, police, ire, and noise for surrounding
residents related to the motocross facility
• Mutual public safety issues on the joint cities' borders
• Animal Control

• Mission Trail Road infrastructure and long term traffic improvements
• Mutual planning of the shared Mission Trail Corridor
• Mutual planning ofthe shared Corydon Corridor
• Mutual Code Enforcement issues at the cities' borders
For these reasons staff is recommending that Council consider forming a subcommittee to
address these common issues facing both cities' shared border.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact other than the time spent by staff who attend the meeting. In
this case it would be the City Manager attending like the LEUSD subcommittee.
