Councilwoman Cherveny questioned the original establishment of
this District and the stipulation that senior citizens would
qualify for a 50% rebate. She noted that it.was` originally
limited to people who were senior citizens on that . date and
not available to those becoming seniors after that date. "She
inquired whether it would be possible to exempt all senior
citizens, noting that she has.been contacted by a number-of
seniors. City Attorney Harper confirmed that it could be
applied - .across the board, however it might be appropriate to
investigate- why the Council 'did not take that action
previously. He indicated that this approach is generally used
to phase in an assessment.
Councilman Winkler noted that when originally established the
requirements for eligibility were set to assist those long
term residents already living in the Community, as new
residents are advised of the assessment before they purchase.
He further noted that in checking with the Finance Department,
there are currently 35 resident's taking advantage of this
rebate.
Councilman Alongi read the existing- Council Policy for Senior
Citizen Rebates and indicated that he would like to see this
apply to any senior citizen, noting that he does not want to
discriminate against new residents. He noted that in general
senior citizen discounts are applied,to all seniors.
City Attorney Harper clarified' the legal difficulties and
justification for not having 'exemptions apply across the
board.
Mayor Washburn noted that to date the rebates have seemed to
work fine.
Councilman Alongi- expressed - concern that most people donft
understand the existing policy. He noted that he would have
no concern with limiting the rebate to property owners only.

35 CONFIRMING THE 1993 -94 ASSESSMENTS WITH NO INCREASE.

AGENDA ITEM NO. A'
PAGE �� OF
PAGE SIX - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - JUNE 22v °1993
that matter further, but he would still limit the exemptions
to those who owned property at the time the .District was
formed.
City Attorney .Harper clarified that this Resolution was
adopting the Engineerfs Report; however if the resolution is
approved, it could be brought back later for amendment, since
no one would be paying this assessment before December 10th.
Councilman Winkler called for the question.
THE FOREGOING MOTION CARRIED BY A VOTE OF 3 TO 2 WITH ALONGI AND
CHERVENY CASTING THE DISSENTING VOTES.
Mayor Washburn requested that the City Manager review the

male pitbull, at 17116 Gunnerson Avenue,, owned by Rick

it, which she estimated to ,weigh 30 pounds. She expressed
concern that the owners have no fence around their yard and
children and other animals can approach the dog. She noted
that the owners do have a sign posted that there-is a vicious
dog. She further noted that since the dog has been at the
shelter it has continued to act viciously. She indicated that
she feels the dog should be in„a Kennel.
The girl who was chased by the dog detailed the incident in
which the dog chased her mothers car. .She expressed concern
in that children walk through that area, . „
Rick Callirgos and Yolanda Triana, owners of the dog indicated
that they had been out of town and the dog.broke loose because
it was alone. Ms. Triana indicated that if similar incidents
had occurred she had not been informed of them. She detailed
the configuration of her property and indicated that the dog
protects the property. She advised that the dog is usually
double chained to where it can not get within „6.to 8 feet.of
walkways. Mr. Callirgos indicated that the dog is not
vicious, noting that he has.children and others visit. He
suggested that the dog has acted poorly at the shelter because

bitten Viand animal control officer in another city. Mr.
Callirgo advised that the dog did bite the officer, however
the officer had moved to pet the d'og to quickly and was at
fault.
Councilman Winkler inquired whether other reports had come to
L.E.A.F. Ms. Bagwell indicated that there had only been
reports of a dog matching this description running loose in
this area.
Councilman Winkler questioned the documentation presented and
whether the dog was to be •deemed vicious or potentially
dangerous. Ms. Bagwell clarified that the petition is for a
finding of potentially dangerous only because the dog has not
bitten yet.
Mayor Washburn inquired what L.E.A.F. ,'s recommendation would
be. Ms. Bagwell indicated-that -she would recommend that the
dog be housed in a kennel behind a fence.
Mayor Pro Tem Dominguez noted the photographs and information
provided and indicated that the yard is not fenced, the dog is
running loose and is not licensed.- He- inquired whether the
dog has had its shots. The owner indicated that the dog is
not yet licensed because they just recently moved in. Ms.
Bagwell indicated that she has previously contacted the owner
and requested that they provide water and shade for the dog
and license it.
Councilwoman Cherveny inquired tow long the owners had lived
in the City. They indicated they had moved in two months ago.
Councilman Alongi expressed concern- that- this dog is
improperly fenced and confined.,rHe stressed "the need for the
.dog to be confined, because keeping it on a chain does not
provide safety for the public. He recommended that the dog be
properly confined or destroyed.
Councilman Winkler indicated that he would concur with
declaring the dog vicious.
Ms. Bagwell questioned the period of time the Council would
want L.E.A.F. to hold the dog.
Ms. Triana inquired whether the requirement would be to
provide fencing and a kennel.
Councilman Alongi noted that "the kennel should have a cement
slab to prevent the dog from digging out. He noted the
difficulty for L.E.A.F. to board and feed dogs for a long
period of time.
Mayor Washburn clarified the recommendations of L.E.A.F.
Councilman Winkler questioned'a reasonable time limit for the
owners to provide adequate facilities. Ms. Bagwell indicated
that L.E.A.F. has already had the dog for 7 days, but they
could probably house.it for an additional week.

Councilman Alongi stressed.the space limitations at the animal
shelter.
Ms. Bagwell indicated that these requirements were expressed
to the owners 5 days ago and to date nothing has been done.
Councilwoman Cherveny questioned the willingness of the owners
to build a kennel. The owners advised that they would build
one, but more time would be needed.. They further advised that
they had offered to neuter the dog to calm, it down, as
discussed with a veterinarian, however they had been given
only 3 or 4 days notice of this hearing. Councilwoman
Cherveny inquired whether the owners had approached a
veterinarian because of previous aggressiveness. The owners
indicated they. had only mentioned it when in for a regular
veterinarian- visit.
Councilman Alongi indicated that he would not be in favor of
releasing the dog back to the owner, however,.a muzzle might
be adequate until a kennel can be built.
Councilwoman Cherveny noted that the - -dog must appear to be
very aggressive and vicious qr L.E.A.F. would not feel so
strongly. She stressed the animal control officers compassion
for . animals. She inquired whether two weeks to build the
kennel would be adequate and whether they would be willing to
pay room and board to L. E.A.F. The owners indicated that they
could not afford to pay this.
Councilman Alongi expressed concern that this dog could
endanger the other animals. The owner indicated they would
muzzle the.dog and keep it inside.
Councilwoman Cherveny stressed that she does not want to see
further problems and does not want to regret a decision to
allow the owners,another chance. She also stressed.the need
..to follow the recommendations of L.E.A.F..as the Cityfs animal
experts.
MOVED BY WINKLER, SECONDED BY DOMINGUEZ TO DECLARE THE DOG
POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AND GIVE THE OWNERS TWO WEEKS TO. BUILD A
SUITABLE FACILITY; AND FURTHER THAT THE DOG NOT BE TURNED OVER TO
THE OWNERS UNLESS IT IS LICENSED AND NEUTERED AND ALL FEES ARE
PAID.
Councilman Alongi expressed concern that the animal might
still escape.
Councilman Winkler stressed that the dog should not be
released until the owner has provided. facilities with which
L.E.A.F. representatives feel comfortable.
Ms. Bagwell indicated that she would have no problem with the
dog being in the house, but stressed the need for the dog to
be in a kennel within a fence otherwise.

Councilman Winkler noted the Water District Meeting held this
date and the agreement which they approved.
MOVED BY WINKLER, SECONDED BY DOMINGUEZ TO APPROVE THE AGREEMENT.
Councilman Winkler noted that the most significant issue was
the guarantee_of,no litigation on the E.I.R.
Councilwoman Cherveny questioned why the City. was a party to
this agreement rather than.just -the developer and the Water
District. Mayor Washburn advised that the City is a party
because'it certifies the E.I.R.
Mayor Washburn questioned the need for City or Redevelopment
Agency verbiage. City Attorney Harper clarified that most
issues are areas of City legal authority.
Councilwoman Cherveny questioned page 2 of the agreement with
regard to the 31,000 acre feet of water, while the Development
Agreement indicates 27,000. Mayor Washburn clarified that it
will ultimately depend on the flood control district criteria,
as their approval is needed to proceed. City Attorney Harper:
advised that as a practical matter this would make no
difference.

PAGE TWELVE - CITY COUNCIL SINUTES - JUNE 220- 1993
tentative maps for this project. City Attorney Harper
confirmed that it would pertain only to this project.
Councilwoman Cherveny inquired whether the Stadium would be
subject to the water right issue. City Attorney Harper
clarified that while it was part of 'this, project, it is not
part of a tentative map. He noted that there are still
matters to be clarified, because the stadium is a City project
on City property as opposed to the developer. Councilwoman
Cherveny clarified that the stadium is a Redevelopment Agency
project.
Councilman Alongi questioned who would pay for the Hex 4
Study. City Attorney Harper indicated that the developer
will.
Councilman Alongi commented that he felt this agreement was
unnecessary and expressed concern with third party involvement
in the project. He noted the City's responsibility. to ensure
'that the 33,780 gallon storage capacity will be preserved at
all times. City Attorney Harper clarified the City's
obligation.
Councilman Alongi indicated that issue should be part of the
E.I.R., not part of the report. City. Attorney Harper
indicated that this was not an accurate statement.
Councilman Alongi expressed concern that this document is one
of distrust on the part of the Water District.
Councilman Alongi noted the comments of the Mayor on page 7
regarding water rights and questioned why the City would give
them up. Mayor Washburn advised that it was part of the
Agreement to Fill and Operate.
Councilman Alongi suggested that this item be postponed to
