Prior to the issuance of the first building permit, the applicant shall - Page Nine - City Council Minutes - June 22, 2004 annex into the Lighting and Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 to offset the annual negative fiscal impacts of the project on public right-of-way landscaped areas to be maintained by the City and for street lights in the public right-of-way for which the City will pay for electricity and a maintenance fee to Southern California Edison. He offered to answer questions and noted that the applicant was in the audience as well. Bill Kipp, 361 Railroad Canyon, representing Abbacy Development, offered to respond to any questions. Mayor Buckley asked those persons interested in this item to speak. No one spoke. Councilman Magee noted his questions from the 4 p.m. meeting and indicated that he did not receive an adequate answer. He noted the discussion of the original plan which included a future park and fire station location. He commented that the fire station issue was being solved by the Canyon Hills Development, but the park issues were not addressed. He indicated that he was hearing the same arguments for deleting the park as for reducing the size of the Serenity 2 park. He noted that the residents in Serenity were not pleased with the changes and he expressed concern that the residents in this area would also be upset with the changes. He expressed frustration with the findings, noting that nothing said the changes were a good thing. He noted that he was told that was part of the workout agreement; but stressed that information needed to be included in the staff report with an explanation. He indicated that he could not support this project without adequate findings. Councilman Hickman inquired if the Council should require a tot lot in the existing park. Community Development Director Brady explained that at the time the tracts were developed there were requirements for enhancements to the park, as well as a linear park along Canyon Estates. Page Ten - City Council Minutes - June 22, 2004 - He advised that the improvements were done to the park and the tot lot was added. He noted that was part of the approval of the existing homes. Councilman Hickman commented that there were only a couple of swings and a train. Community Development Director Brady confirmed that those were the improvements provided by Granite Homes. Councilman Hickman inquired if Councilman Magee would be satisfied if a slide was added. Councilman Magee indicated that he would be more satisfied with a more complete report and indicated that if the trade off was part of the workout, it should have been included in the staff report; which would allow him a better understanding of the rationale for deletion of the park. Councilman Schiffner commented that there was apparently some misunderstanding, but it seemed to him that this discussion was not dealing with the deletion of the park, in any way. He indicated that it was taken care of previously, and suggested that was probably why it was not discussed in the staff report. Community Development Director Brady clarified that prior to the development, there was a workout agreement and - the developer was granted parcel within the area, in exchange for working out the CFD issues. He indicated that it was done and completed prior to Granite Homes and the others being constructed in the area. Councilman Schiffner inquired if the maps were the only consideration before the Council at this time. He noted that this discussion was going to something that was already done. Councilman Magee commented that the Council had discretionary approval, and indicated that he was requesting adequate findings. City Manager Watenpaugh indicated that he understood what was being requested and assured the Council that he would go back further in the history to address the elements of a project. He stressed that in the future he would provide more documentation. Mayor Buckley requested clarification of this issue. City Manager Watenpaugh clarified that the workout was prior to the development and the developers provided additional amenities, although he was not sure it was adequate at the time. He noted that the agreement with Abaccy was approved - Page Eleven - City Council Minutes - June 22, 2004 in 1992 or 1993, and was not included in the packet, however such documents would be provided in the future. Councilman Hickman indicated that he understood both Councilmembers Magee and Schiffner; and suggested that the park had very few amenities for the kids and suggested the addition of a slide. He questioned which LLMD this area would fall into. Administrative Services Director Pressey indicated that it was in Area "0". Mayor Pro Tern Kelley commented that she recalled the workout and this was the last portion of that process. She noted that it had been a long road to get the parcels settled and into development. She indicated that she could understand what Councilman Magee was asking for, but understood the workout. She concurred with Councilman Schiffner that the project was moving down the road as part of the plan to bring the development in line. She indicated that he had no problem with the project, but concurred with the request that more history be included in the future. Councilman Hickman noted that he would be glad to see the lots developed. Mayor Buckley noted the earlier discussion as to whether they would have to pay Mello-Roos. City Manager Watenpaugh indicated that he was informed that they would be paying the assessments. Mayor Buckley closed the public hearing at 7 :44 p.m. MOVED BY HICKMAN, SECONDED BY KELLEY AND CARRIED BY A VOTE OF 3 TO 2 WITH COUNCILMEMBERS MAGEE AND BUCKLEY CASTING THE DISSENTING VOTE TO APPROVE TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 31779 AND TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 31967, BASED ON THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS, EXHIBITS A - C, AND SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: Page Twelve - City Council Minutes - June 22, 2004 - Findines 1.

Master Plan of Drainage - Annual Increase of Fees - Resolution No. 2004- 43. (F:81.1) Community Development Director Brady explained that there was the ability for the Council to review and modify these fees annually; but the last time it was changed was in 2002. He recommended the increases as proposed to match the increases in construction costs. MOVED BY KELLEY, SECONDED BY SCHIFFNER AND CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2004-43: RESOLUTION NO. 2004-43 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, INCREASING THE DRAINAGE FEES OF THE MASTER PLAN OF DRAINAGE. 32. Adopted 2004-05 and 2005-06 Budget Adiustments. (F:30.1) Administrative Services Director Pressey explained that this was an adjustment to the budget adopted at the last Council meeting to cover the revised CPI numbers for the salary adjustments. He noted that the CPI had been estimated at 1.8%, but the April to April index was 2.29%, so the increased impact for fiscal year 2004-05 would be $27,100. Edith Stafford, 29700 Hursh, indicated that she wanted to speak on this item because at the last meeting the public was shocked to find out that the City Manager had pulled a rabbit out of a hat, finding funds to balance the budget. She suggested that in view of the fact that those funds had never been mentioned or brought to the table before Councilman Magee suggested a list for deletions, it was like pulling a rabbit out of a hat. She indicated that she believed they were development fees that had not been Page Twenty-Eight - City Council Minutes - June 22, 2004 - collected and suggested that this item should not be approved. She suggested that the public had been misled by this manager and indicated that she had been told that certain debts were different. She commented that the public had not heard the truth, and were led down a primrose path. She accused the City Manager of mismanaging public funds and misappropriating public funds; and called for his resignation. She called upon the Council to take the bull by the horns and fire the City Manager without pay. She indicated that he had violated the City policy in the misappropriation of funds, mismanagement of funds and keeping secrets from the public. She further indicated that the Manager had not been up front with the truth, so he must go. Mayor Buckley noted that this was a change due to a change in the consumer price index. City Treasurer Weber noted that staff would also receive merit increases of _ 5% on top of the CPI raises. He commented that that would amount to a 7.29% increase in pay for the year. Administrative Services Director Pressey clarified that for each position, there was a salary range with steps one through five. He explained that the cost of living was approved as part of the MOU with the labor group and would be applied City-wide. City Treasurer Weber quested when the information became available. Mr. Pressey indicated that it was known before the budget was adopted, but not in time to incorporate it into the budget. Mayor Pro Tern Kelley questioned if this was the previously negotiated cost of living increase with the union employees. Mr. Pressey confirmed. Councilman Magee inquired if this was a contractual obligation. Mayor Buckley indicated that it was a contractual obligation for the Union. Councilman Magee reiterated his question regarding a contractual obligation under the MOD. Councilman Hickman inquired if the increase was just for the Union or for everyone in the City. Mr. Pressey indicated that it was included for everyone in the City. Councilman Hickman - Page Twenty-Nine - City Council Minutes - June 22, 2004 commented that it was not a requirement to give the increase to management. City Manager Watenpaugh clarified that it was not a contractual obligation for management, but had historically been given to management, with all of the other employees. Councilman Hickman questioned how many managers received merit increases. City Manager Watenpaugh indicated that those who had them available. Councilman Hickman questioned the merit raises further, and suggested an alternative to the merit increases. City Manager Watenpaugh clarified the steps within the classification plan under the MOU; and explained that at the intervals of 10, 15 and 20 years employees were eligible for longevity pay. Mayor Buckley inquired if longevity was in the same form as merit. City Manager Watenpaugh clarified. Councilman Magee indicated that he was uneasy about addressing this if it was an obligation under the MOU, but if it was an unwritten policy that has evolved over time he would have a problem with it. City Manager Watenpaugh indicated that there was no written policy for management to receive it, but there is an unwritten policy that all employees receive. Mayor Buckley commented that there should be a study session in July. Councilman Schiffner indicated that he was very uncomfortable giving something to Union employees and not giving to non-Union employees. He suggested that management should receive the same consideration. Councilman Hickman suggested a study session on this issue. Councilman Magee indicated he would like to see how this issue is handled and why. He noted the comment that everyone should be treated equally, and indicated that he would like to pull until it could be discussed further and he can understand the ramifications. Mayor Pro Tern Kelley questioned the possibility of deferring this item to a study session. City Manager Watenpaugh confirmed that it could go to a study session. Mayor Buckley suggested the second Thursday in July. Mayor Pro Tern Kelley suggested Page Thirty - City Council Minutes - June 22, 2004 - July 1 st. After discussion the Council concurred to continue this matter until after a study session on July 8th. MOVED BY SCHIFFNER, SECONDED BY KELLEY AND CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE TO CONTINUE THIS DISCUSSION TO JULY 8TH AT 5:00 P.M. 33. Annual Adoption of Investment Policy. (F:120.1)(X:12.1) Administrative Services Director Pressey advised that this was the annual revision/update of the Investment Policy as mentioned at the Agenda Review. He indicated that it was essentially the same document from prior years, with a couple of paragraphs and definitions added. He explained that the investment procedure was detailed, with one significant addition being that the City moves forward to improve the yield, beyond what is currently being received using the State pooled funds. He advised that the Policy _ called for Council to approve any investments, which would need to be in compliance with the State guidelines and City policy. He indicated that the next step would be to bring a detailed strategic plan to Council for consideration, with proposed investments and a recommendation on what percentage to invest over the next one to five years. He stressed that all of the investments would be safe, such as government securities, which are AAA rated. City Manager Watenpaugh noted that page 13 specifically prohibited investment in derivatives. City Treasurer Weber commented that he had worked with Mr. Pressey on this policy and gave him a list of about sixteen items, he felt needed to be added to be sure that the Policy would work well for the City. He noted that all of his recommendations were added. He indicated that this effort was a good step for the City, because it was currently getting poor performance from the money in the bank. He suggested that $4 or $5 million could be invested in LAIF funds, but there was the potential for at _ Page Thirty-One - City Council Minutes - June 22, 2004 least 3% interest; and with regard to the bond money, there was the potential for an increase to 3% or 4% in interest. He noted the potential money that had not been realized over the last 20 or 30 years. He indicated that he was interested in seeing the action plan, and stressed that there would be oversight by the Council, so no one was just doing what they felt like doing. He commented that the audit team would perform for the Council, and reiterated that the approval for the larger fund investments would go before the Council for approval. He stressed that everything would be safe, to prevent an Orange County debacle; and looked forward to Mr. Pressey's recommendations. Councilman Schiffner inquired on the authorization of investments by the Government Code, and questioned if the City had ever made investments that were not approved by the Council. Mr. Pressey indicated that he was not sure one way or the other. Councilman Schiffner commented that the plan as presented seemed very good, but questioned what it was accomplishing, and if there were any really great changes to the policy. Mr. Pressey indicated that there was nothing major, but it was complete and compared to the national standard for an investment policy. He advised that he had only added more detail on the types of investments. Councilman Schiffner commented that it was basically the same as it had been done in the past. Mr. Pressey confirmed. Councilman Hickman commented that the Policy was not changing, but the City would be starting to put the money to work, to provide better returns. Mr. Pressey confirmed. Councilman Hickman noted that there would be investments in other annuities with better returns on the money, and indicated that Council was looking at increasing the General Fund to do more work. He stressed that it would be different from throwing all of the money into a single fund. Mr. Pressey commented that there had been a good return in the past, but the standard process was for cities to invest out a portion of the portfolio. He indicated that in the past it was below standard, however in the current market LAIF was underperforming. Councilman Hickman noted that Murrieta was receiving an additional Page Thirty-Two - City Council Minutes - June 22, 2004 - $200,000 from their money. He indicated that his main concerns were safety and liquidity. Mayor Pro Tern Kelley reiterated that safety was the number one priority for this Policy, followed by liquidity. She thanked Mr. Pressey for the policy and noted that he had done a good job. She stressed the focus on safety to prevent an Orange County disaster. City Manager Watenpaugh requested clarification of the policy for the RDA. Mr. Pressey indicated that this was looking at the General Fund, but bond monies would go to the bond debt, not the General Fund. He commented that for the RDA, the policies would typically mirror the City policy. Mayor Buckley thanked Mr. Pressey for his work on this Policy, and noted that there were certain significant changes including the opportunity to - delete derivatives from consideration. He noted that the City had someone who would properly invest City funds, and commented that hundreds of thousands of dollars had been lost over the years. MOVED BY BUCKLEY, SECONDED BY HICKMAN AND CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE TO APPROVE THE PROPOSED POLICY, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THE FACT THAT THE ABILITY TO INVEST IN DERIVATIVES HAD BEEN STRICKEN. 34. Purchase Authorization - Diamond Stadium Furniture. (F:134.10)(X:48.1) Mayor Buckley noted that this item came up during the last meeting as he understood that it should not be decided upon before the lease of the Stadium, so he requested that it be done before the end of the due diligence. MOVED BY KELLEY, SECONDED BY BUCKLEY AND CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE TO PULL THIS ITEM FROM THE AGENDA. - Page Thirty-Three - City Council Minutes - June 22, 2004 35. Applications for Planning Commission. (F:60.2) Mayor Buckley noted that there were three seats coming available on the Planning Commission and deferred to Councilmembers Kelley and Magee to explain the review process. Mayor Pro Tem Kelley advised that she and Councilman Magee had been appointed to a sub-committee to interview for the Commission. She indicated that they interviewed six applicants who were very worthy and they were impressed with all of them. She advised that they were bringing back the suggestion of three people with the caveat that the fourth person should be appointed to the next vacancy on a Committee. She introduced the recommended applicants to the Council, including Harvey Ryan, the current Chairman of the RDA Task Force; Michael O'Neal who was already serving in a temporary appointed position on the Commission; and Tylisha Larimer, who was a new member of the community that captivated them with her personality and positive enthusiasm. She noted that Bill Arnold, was the gentleman they would like to see appointed to the first available Committee vacancy. Councilman Magee commented that this had been a difficult process, and noted that part of the criteria was if the applicants were interested in serving in other capacities in the community. He noted that the positions were actually appointed by the Mayor and ratified by the Council; so he and Mayor Pro Tem Kelley did the interviews and made recommendations. He stressed that it was ultimately the decision of the Mayor, ratified by the Council. Councilman Schiffner noted that the same process had been followed in the past, and he was happy to see Mr. Magee as a new member of the Council and Mrs. Kelley, as a longer term member participating on the sub- committee. He indicated that he thought it was a good choice of committee members. He expressed support for the recommendations. Page Thirty-Four - City Council Minutes - June 22, 2004 - Mayor Pro Tern Kelley added that these three names would provide a nice balance of personalities for the Commission. Mayor Buckley inquired if there should be discussion of the individual applicants. Mayor Pro Tern Kelley commented that she thought that was the interview process that had been completed. MOVED BY KELLEY, SECONDED BY SCHIFFNER TO APPOINT HARVEY RYAN, MICHAEL O'NEAL AND TYLISHA LARIMER TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION VACANCIES FOR TERMS CONTINUING TO JUNE, 2008; AND RECOMMEND BILL ARNOLD FOR APPOINTMENT TO A FUTURE COMMITTEE VACANCY. Mayor Buckley commented that he was very comfortable with all three recommendations; and stressed that Mr. Arnold would be serving the community very soon. - THE FOREGOING MOTION CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE. Mayor Buckley congratulated the newly appointed Planning Commissioners. ITEMS PULLED FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR 2. Fiscal Year 2003/04 Year End Budget Ad1ustments. (F:30.1) City Manager Watenpaugh explained that this item was to balance and close out the past budget year. Administrative Services Director Pressey indicated that this item was a clean-up budget adjustment for year end addressing revenues and expenditures. He detailed the modifications, noting the increases in revenue and adjustments to expenditures needed in two departments. - Page Thirty-Five - City Council Minutes - June 22, 2004 Edith Stafford, 29700 Hursh, indicated that she pulled this item for the same reason she pulled the last one. She stressed that she did not feel the budget was ready for approval, as it needs more in-depth study. She indicated that she did not feel she could trust what was written by the Manager and presented to the Council. She suggested that the Council needed to look deeper, which is what she would do. She indicated that it was not good to take someone' s word for something; and stressed the importance of reviewing, verifying and re-verifying. She suggested that the Manager needed to review, review and review, and indicated that from the documents she was reviewing it would appear that he forgot to do that. She indicated that is why she felt he was an incompetent to be Manager of this great City. She indicated that the City needed a Manager they could trust to tell the truth on the debt that is owed and what is not. She stressed that she just wanted the truth and did not take being misled lightly. She called for the Manager to "do the decent thing" and resign. City Treasurer Weber addressed page 2 of 24 and the list of items under fund 100, and questioned the sales tax. Administrative Services Director Pressey indicated that this was the adjustment for the 2003-04 budget, including the last adjustments at mid-year. He indicated that when approved the revised projected numbers were included but there was no formal action for approval. City Treasurer Weber questioned the sales tax further and Mr. Pressey clarified. City Treasurer Weber questioned lost money. Mr. Pressey indicated that it was grant related. City Treasurer Weber questioned the weed abatement fees, noting that the people had been hired and the truck had been purchased. He questioned if the adjustments were in addition to that. Mr. Pressey indicated that staff was reviewing that issue, but there may have been significant delinquencies or an error. He stressed that staff was looking at why the dollars did not come in. City Treasurer Weber commented that the costs were substantially more than the money taken in for one year. Councilman Schiffner noted that the numbers as presented were the actual Page Thirty-Six - City Council Minutes - June 22, 2004 - budget for eight more days. He clarified that staff was estimating what would happen in the next eight days, which should be the actual expenditures for the year. He stressed that this was not an estimate in advance, but only for the period of eight days. City Manager Watenpaugh commented that considerably more billing would be seen in the next budget year. Councilman Hickman inquired if this was a bookkeeping item. Mr. Pressey confirmed. Councilman Hickman noted that this would reconcile the budget with a $52,000 surplus, which would go into the new budget. He ,commented that some of his questions had been asked earlier. He noted that he was worried about some of the issues. MOVED BY KELLEY, SECONDED BY HICKMAN AND CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE TO APPROVE THE 2003-04 BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS AS PRESENTED. - THE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING WAS RECESSED AT 9:29 P.M.

CITY TREASURER COMMENTS City Treasurer Weber commented on the following: 1) Noted that during the 4:00 session he spoke with the Council and Staff about his findings on the Stadium funding and what had taken place since the construction in 1992. He indicated that he found that there were two tools for funding the Stadium, being the RDA with two bonds totaling about $22 million and the other in 1994 to finish the construction against the Recreation Authority. He detailed the refinancing/refunding process and the bonds remaining. He indicated that he believed that today the City debt was over $16 million. He indicated that if the debt was paid off by refunding over 30 years the total would be over $65 million. He advised that he went through all of the official bond statements, and this was the most truthful cost he could see. He noted that the Finance Team was the Bond Counsel who did the workout, so he would be talking with him Page Thirty-Eight - City Council Minutes - June 22, 2004 - and the underwriters who sell the bonds, to see if they see the same numbers. He indicated that he had not heard a direct answer on what was owed on the Stadium. He stressed that it was important to be sure that the proceeds went to paying the bond debt to be sure the debt did not destroy the City over time. He indicated that he believed the bond debt could be managed once the total was known. He advised that he felt seeing the Bond Counsel and getting a firm grasp on the debt was a step in the right direction, but he believed there was a lot of work ahead with regard to the Stadium.
