Page 6 - City Council Meeting Minutes - September 26, 2006
Mayor Magee noted that the City had every confidence in the Code
Enforcement's Department ability to track the number of violations within a
12-month period. He noted that the idea of the initial $30 fine was not to
penalize - but, to encourage compliance. He noted that if someone was a
repetitive violator, the Council would work to encourage compliance. He
noted that was why there was an escalating fine. He noted that the PSAC
concurred with an escalating fine.
Mayor Pro Tern Schiffner commented that the item was an "administrative
citation". He noted that there was a difference between a "parking fine" and
an "administrative citation". He suggested the City Attorney explain the
difference.
City Attorney Leibold noted that the violations would be processed the same
as a parking ticket. She noted that violators were to be cited the same as any
parking ticket.

City Manager Brady commented on the item. He noted that on August 8,
2006 the Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Merchants Association had
requested that the Cruise Night Event be reinitiated and to allow for a
closure on Main Street. He noted that the direction was to come back to
Council in 3 months after a re-evaluation of the operation of the Cruise
Night. He noted that the Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown
Merchants Business Association was also requesting additional closure of
Main Street based on the number of participants they have had. He noted
that stafP s recommendation was to deny the request and to evaluate the
request after a 3-month period.
Kim Cousins, Chamber of Commerce, commented that the first 2 Cruise
Nights have been very successful. He noted that the Chamber did not
initiate the petition; he indicated that the Downtown Merchants Association
petitioned the business owners and made a request to City Council. He
noted that there would not be any car shows for the months of December and
January. He suggested letting the Cruise Night continue through the month
of November and adjourn the issue during the months of December and
January and have a frank discussion about the benefits of Cruise Night and
determine during that 2-month period what the course of action will be for
2007.
Helen Gross, 201 W. Graham, noted that she was a former resident of
Glendora. She noted that while living in Glendora, their main street was
consistently occupied with events. She noted that the events provided
family togetherness. She noted that the event was for the people of Lake
Elsinore and not just for the Merchants.
Richard Carpenter, 169 N. Main Street, commented that 90% of the
businesses requested that the Cruise Night be allowed to continue. He noted
that people were being turned away because there was no parking. He noted
that if there was not a place to park them, then it would be likely that they
would not come back. He noted that if people did not come to the car show,
there would not be a reason to have it.
Pat Shepard, 107 E. Graham, noted that she was new a merchant on Main
Street. She noted that the event stopped at her comer. She noted that she
had to hire people to advertise her business to the people who attended the
car show. She noted she would appreciate if she was considered as part of
"downtown". She noted that she would like to see support for the opening

of Main Street. She noted that she and Mr. Carpenter were the two
individuals who obtained signatures for their petition from the merchants.
She noted comments received from attendants from the last event. She
commented that she was in support of the event.
Mayor Pro Tern Schiffner inquired on what Council would be discussing
regarding the item.
Mayor Magee indicated that the item on the agenda was a reconsideration.
He noted that the most logical and fair-minded approach would be to look to
extend the event for an additional month with the additional area that Ruth
Atkin's letter requests and re-evaluate after the holiday season. He noted
that Mr. Cousins' recommendation was a reasonable approach.
MOVED BY SCHIFFNER TO APPROVE THE REQUEST BY RUTH
ATKINS AND RETRACT COUNCIL'S DECISION FROM THE AUGUST
8, 2006 COUNCIL MEETING.
Councilmember Buckley inquired if area of the event needed to be
