(F:134.7) City Manager Watenpaugh introduced Doug Wetter in connection with the K-Mart facilities. Mr. Wetter offered to answer any questions regarding the site, but indicated that they had not yet closed on the property and there were still several issues to be resolved. He noted that there were three different bankruptcy courts involved, but the final actions were very close. He indicated that he had been in real estate most of his life, and had built single family and commercial projects. Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner indicated that he realized this type of organization had a considerable investtnent in the property, and questioned the long range goals for the property. Mr. Wetter indicated that they were long hold investors and not interested in a quick turnover. He further indicated that they were a family company, but did not specifically know what they would do with the property. He advisedthat there was some thought to returning the theater to theater use; and they were also talking to parties about the K-Mart property. He stressed that they were looking for a solid tenant. Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner inquired if they intended to build more on the site. Mr. Wetter indicated they did not. Councilman Buckley inquired if they had any intent of requesting assistance from the City or the Redevelopment Agency. Mr. Wetter indicated that they did not intend to, but possibly down the road they would propose something. He advised that there was no need for assistance at this time. Councilman Hickman inquired when they might clean up the landscaping on-site. Mr. Wetter concurred that it was an eyesore; and indicated that one of the early things would be to get a landscape architect in place to address the landscaping. He noted that would be the first step because the property needed to be attractive to be marketable. Councilman Hickman questioned the timing. Mr. Wetter indicated that he could nat answer until the architect meets with the City to determine the expectations, but they would pursue it as soon as possible. Councilwoman Kelley questioned the possibility of community theater use of the facility. Mr. Wetter indicated that the first thought would be to PAGE FOUR - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - FEBRUARY 25, 2003 investigate the movie theater uses, but they needed to see where the market was. He suggested that since that was the prior use it was a logical place to start; and he would hope that was the case, as there appeared to be a need. Councilman Hickman suggested working with Assistant City Manager Best to use the Economic Gardening Program to assist with the theater potential. He noted that there was a possibility that there was a need for Spanish speaking movies. Mayor Brinley welcomed Mr. Wetter to the City, and indicated that she looked forward to them doing business in the community. She encouraged the movie theater use, and noted that many people in the community sorely miss it. PUBLIC COMMENTS - AGENDIZED ITEMS Requests were received to address the following items and deferred to those discussions: Item Nos. 21, 31, and 33.

Amendment No. 1 to the La Laguna Estates Specific Plan No.92-4 and Tentative Tract Map No. 30788 located North of McVicker Park and West of Grand Avenue and Lincoln Street covering an area designated as the La Laguna Estates Specific Plan. (F:150.2)(X:160.2) Community Development Director Brady detailed this item and advised that La Laguna covered about 449 acres of land, and could include up to 660 residential units, 142 acres of open space and 140 acres of natural open space. He further advised that the Development Agreement for this property was approved in 1991. He indicated that the proposed amendment was the most significant change to the original plan, as it would change 180 attached units to 110 single family detached units. He noted that there were other minor modifications and updates to the specific planincluded in this action. He indicated that the Tentative Tract Map was for 47 acres. He advised that a number of concerns were addressed at the Planning Commission Meeting with regard to traffic generation which would impact Lincoln Street and Sunswept. He indicated that the Planning Commission had recommended that Sunswept be used for emergency access only; and noted that the design presented had been approved by the Fire Department. He explained that there would be no barriers, but a material called Turfcrete, PAGE SIX - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - FEBRUARY 25, 2003 which would allow grass to grow in the area. He commented that a letter had been submitted by the applicant, which questioned a number of the conditions of approval; including the requirement for traffic signals at McVicker Canyon and Grand, and Audelo and Grand. He eaplained that their request was that the full cost not be placed on them. He indicated that they also questioned participation in the City-wide Public Safety CFD, which was being formed; and suggested that the condition be revised to require participation in the CFD for Police and Fire; and clarified that this would not cover roadway maintenance. He addressed Condition No. 22 regarding paying far the street lights; a~l noted that until the streets were accepted by the City, the developer would pay for the lights. He suggested that the first sentence on Condition No. 33, be eliminated. He clarified that Condition 85 required that all drainage easements, basins, etc.be maintained by the HOA, meaning that this would only be the retention basins and v- basins. He advised that with regard to the multi~urpose trail, the HOA would be responsible for maintenance of the trail; and the applicant believed the City should be responsible. He also noted a letter from George Dale, property owner, regarding the Conditions regulating construction hours, since they want to work on Saturdaysto do the core drilling of curbs to allow for drainage. He clarified that the drainage issue was regulated by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. Mr. Brady highlighted the first and second phases of the project and noted that the second phase was still under review. Mayor Brinley opened the public hearing at 7:25 p.m. Ellen Michiel, Project Manager, 31516 Denton Road, Winchester, expressed hopes that the Council would be pleased with this project. She noted the presence of the project Traffic Engineer and the Planning Consultant to assist in answering any questions. She thanked the City for their cooperation and commended the work of Planner Carol Donohoe. She advised that they had met with the Water Quality Control Board and were being required to deepen the retention basins along Sunswept and fully landscape them. She clarified that this would not mean that water would be standing in the basins, but rather they would need to hold water for 48 hours after a storm event. PAGE SEVEN - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - FEBRUARY 25, 2003 She further clarified that they would be landscaped, fenced; and the applicant would be working with the Vector Control District for appropriate control measures. She indicated that with regard to the traffic signal issue, they were not questioning the signals, they were questioning how they were paid for. She noted that the original Development Agreement was done eight years ago and required participation in a CFD and the payment of mitigation fees. She indicated that there was a specific statement on certain mitigated facilities including traffic control. She explained that the location of the required signals was designated and their construction was triggered by development, but indicated that their pro rata share would be 34%. She indicated that the CFD listed the signal at McVicker and Grand, and suggested that funding should be available through the CFD. She recommended that the CFD pay for the signal, but if the funding was not available, they would be willing to meet and confer on how to allocate the costs of the signal based on a pro-rata share. She requested an amendment to allow for meet and confer. She indicated that with respect to the second signal, it was not mentioned in any of the previous documents; and stressed that the Development Agreement required that they pay their pro-rata share wherever the project contributes to the need, so their share would be 14%. She commented that they had provided an adequate solution for Sunswept and detailed the plan for the emergency access. She indicated that with regard to the trail, there were a number of questions regarding the requirements in the Development Agreement. She expressed concern with the liability arising from the trail and their ability to monitor it; and requested reconsideration of this item. She indicated that the lots were smaller, but the houses would be beautiful and more compatible with the surrounding area. She stressed that they had significantly reduced the density and number of units, resulting in reduced impacts on traffic and schools. She indicated that their primary market would be the mature buyers. George Dale, representing the property avners, indicated that most of the issues had been covered, but emphasized his concern with the trails issue and insurance. He stressed that insuring a public facility as a private individual was virtually impossible. He addressed the original discussions PAGE EIGHT - CITY COUNCIL MINIJTES - FEBRUARY 25, 2003 on the CFD and their willingness to dedicate the land, but questioned the requirement to maintain it. He suggested that the City could maintain it just like a park, and cities can insure parks and take care of a public trail. He stressed that this would not be a private trail. He indicated that he believed the requirement might be in violation of one of the conditions of the Development Agreement, as another fee. Woody Woodward, 29108 Sunswept, spoke in opposition to the plan and noted that he had done so since the original plan. He noted that the Principal of the school was also concerned. He indicated that City staff guaranteed that the problem was resolved, but the plans had not changed. He stressed that the plan still allows cars through the road, and half of their problems on Lincoln Street are the kids in cars. He noted the ongoing traffic problems and a prior meeting held at the school. He indicated that the plan did not address the concerns and he felt he had been grossly misled. Peter Teriankos, resident of Sun Harbor Court, representing the Sierra Club, indicated that this project would be almost in his back yard. He requested that approval be delayed until there could be coordination with the County Multi-Species Plan. He presented copies of sia~teen pages of information regarding the impacted areas. He stressed that this was a major wildlife corridor, and reiterated that it should be coordinated with the County plan. He questioned the existence of a hillside ordinance regulating development. He concuned with Mr. Woodward's comments regarding traffic impacts. He suggested that the quality of homes proposed did not match the quality of the rest of the neighborhood, and expressed concern that his home would be devalued by the development. Karla Papaco, 29101 Wayfarer Lane, reiterated the concerns of the prior speakers, noting that she lives two streets from Sunswept. She noted specific concerns about traffic and a blind corner. She stressed that the hillside was full of habitat. She also expressed concerns about the development in general, but if they had to build homes, there should be standards in place. She suggested postponement of this item due to the number of pending questions, such as adequate landscaping of the slopes PAGE NINE - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - FEBRUARY 25, 2003 Mayor Brinley offered the applicant an opportunity to respond to the questions presented. Ms. Michiel indicated that the project had significant environmental review at the original planning phase. She indicated that this project would dedicate 140 acres of undisturbed open space, with a conservation easement over it. She further indicated that they would be forming a 501-3c to administer the property. She noted that over half of the developable property would be left as open space. Shestressed that the criteria of all governmGnt agencies would have to be met before the project was implemented. She clarified that the property was not within the area designated for acquisition for multi-species habitat. She stressed that the new plan carried lower density, and the homes would range from 1,360 square feet to 2,000 square feet; with the next phase ranging up to 3,000 square feet. Mayor Brinley questioned the original plan houses. Ms. Michiel indicated that they were proposed at 900 to 1,000 square feet. She stressed that these would be homes vs. condominiums or townhouses. She also stressed that the project would be much more compatible with the surrounding properties. She indicated that she felt that it was a good project and she did not feel the comments were fair. Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner noted the concerns mentioned and suggested that it would affect several property owners. He stressed his need to make decisions which would be for the good of the City. He indicatedthat he was opposed to any configuration of Sunswept Drive other than a through street. He commented that the request would address the concerns of seven or eight owners and deny access to 50 or 60 others. He suggested that it could be closed entirely, but that would not prevent people from driving through. He indicated that he would prefer to close it off at Lincoln. He recommended not accepting the recommendation of the Planning Commission, and revert to a thru street as originally proposed. Councilman Hickman indicated that the street looked like it was designed to go through; and expressed concern with safety for the kids going to school. He questioned the 14% factor for the traffic signal, and how it was determined. Ms. Michiel introduced Mr. Ballard, who clarified the factors for both traffic signals. Councilman Hickman requested clarification that PAGE TEN - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - FEBRUARY 25, 2003 they would agree to fund one and not the other. Ms. Michel clarified that the CFD should pay for the McVicker signal, but they would only need to pay their pro rata share for the Audelo signal. Mr. Ballard noted the counts for each intersection. Councilman Hickman questioned the construction hours. Community Development Director Brady indicated that they would be from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Councilman Hickman concurred that Sunswept should go straight through, as it looked like it was intended to go through. Councilman Buckley questioned the CFD mentioned. City Attorney Leibold clarified that it was an existing CFD to fund public facilities. She further clarified that Condition 20 was separate for Police and Fire services. Councilman Buckley questioned the trails, with regard to the difficulty of the insurance problem. City Attorney Leibold indicated that she was not aware of the insurance problems. She indicated that the trail was primarily a maintenance obligation. Councilman Buckley addressed the limitation of access to Sunswept, and indicated that it was one of the few things he agreed with on the plan. He expressed understanding of the difficulty of driving around, but noted that it would give the neighborhood a closer feel. He questioned the average lot size and house size below the slope area; and if the larger homes would be in that area. Community Development Director Brady confirmed. Councilman Buckley noted that the smaller lots were mostly in the middle of the plan, and noted that the publicly maintained slope was technically part of the lot. He recognized that it was a standard practice, but noted that it made the buildable pad sizes smaller than the rest of the neighborhood. He noted the comments of Mr. Terianl~s and noted that growth was important and a good thing, but questioned the environmental impacts and whether that work was done before or after the MSHCP. Ms. Michiel indicated that they were subject to the requirements of the Specific Plan adopted in 1998, including the dedication of open space. She stressed that the plan was already adopted and they would have to abide by it; and noted that the requirements were probably more than the County would require. City Manager Watenpaugh commented that the negotiation with the resource agencies took place prior to the MSHCP. Councilman Buckley noted that the lights would be part of the LLMD, but this development would be exempt from the County TI.JMF. City Attorney Leibold PAGE ELEVEN - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - FEBRUARY 25, 2003 confirmed. Councilman Buckley questioned the City road fee. City Attorney Leibold indicated that it wouldbe exempt. Councilman Buckley questioned if they would be exempt from the Police and Fire fee. City Attorney Leibold indicated that they would not be exempt. Councilman Buckley addressed the design of the homes and inquired if the proposed design was as shown in the diagrams. Ms. Michiel indicated that they had been submitted for design review, but she could not answer definitely until the review had been completed. She stressed that the current plan was a big improvement over the original plan. Councilman Buckley concurred that the design was better, but he wondered if certain areas could be mixed. He suggested a more interesting house whichwas more aesthetically varied. He stressed his concern with putting tiny houses on tiny lots in the middle of a larger plan. He indicated that the rest seemed nice, but he did not understand the thinking on the small lots. Councilwoman Kelley clarified that this was an amendment to a Specific Plan which was already adopted in 1991; with the right to build 480 homes and 180 attached units. She stressed that they already had the right to develop, but this amendment revises the initial approval to eliminate the attached housing. She also clarified that this was only the beginning phase of the project, and stressed that it was important to look at the total tract maps, which show that Sunswept and Sandpiper were stub streets. She also stressed that the streets were in the original plan adoption. She questioned the trail maintenance issues. City Attorney Leibold noted that the developer had cited provisions of the Development Agreement, but she would need to review the agreement further. Councilwoman Kelley questioned the traffic lights and related legal issues. City Attorney Leibold indicated that the proposal was a question of financing and clarified the CFD funding. Councilwoman Kelley questioned the light on Audelo. Community Development Director Brady indicated that the City had the ability to impose conditions for funding of these kinds of mitigation measures. Councilwoman Keliey questioned the traffic light issues and if there was a need to explore either issue further. City Attorney Leibold indicated that unless an agreement was reached this evening, she would need an opportunity to review the documentation and advise the Council. Ms. Michel indicated that there was an agreement with regard to the funding PAGE TWELVE - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - FEBRUARY 25, 2003 of the signal through the CFD, but if there was not sufficient funds they would work with the City on the financing. She indicated that another issue for them was the requirement to install the signal by the 20`h Certificate of Occupancy, and indicated that they would be willing to go with the 156tn Certificate, but the Planning Commission said the 20`~'. She indicated that they anticipated construction starting in July of this year, and suggested that this condition be placed on the end of the first phase. Ms. Michiel clarified the Development Agreement with regard to Audelo. She addressed the issue of a"hold harmless" clause; and indicated that they would want the City to assume the liability due to the public access factor. City Manager Watenpaugh indicated that it was not an issue of maintaining the trail, but he was not sure the JPIA would allow the City to insure it. Ms. Michel suggested a contract for provision of the maintenance. There was general discussion of possible scenarios. Councilwoman Kelley suggested that there were legal issues which could not be addressed at this meeting, and stressed the need to keep the City protected against liability. Councilwoman Kelley questioned the basins on Sunswept. The project engineer indicated that they were designed to address the Regional Water Board's concern for low flows. He indicated that there would be vegetation and facilities to accept the flow, routed through the basins and discharged into the storm drain system. Councilwoman Kelley questioned the location of the basins. Ms. Michel identified the locations on the tract map. Councilwoman Kelley questioned the proposal for the emergency access. Community Development Director Brady indicated that the Planning Commission agreed to what was being presented tonight. Councilwoman Kelley indicated that Mr. Woodward had made his case, in that it would not be gated, but there would be a sign to which no one would pay attention. She suggested that the sign was almost an open invitation and it would become a safety hazard. She indicated that for this reason she would rather see the street opened up. She further indicated that she did not find it fair or equitable to the other residents who PAGE THIRTEEN - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - FEBRUARY 25, 2003 would be impacted later. She commented that it did not make sense for Sunswept to be closed, forcing all traffic down Sandpiper and McVicker; and indicated that she would prefer to keep it as a regular street. Community Development Director Brady confirmed that it was shown as a stub street in the original plan, and what was shown as a cul-de-sac was on La Laguna Estates property. Ms. Michiel clarified the original Specific Plan, which assumed that there would be a gated and closed area, with Sunswept serving as an emergency access only. She noted that the Specific Plan was clear that Sandpiper would be a through street; and indicated that she had already begun to meet with property owners there to minimize the impacts on their street. There was general discussion of the gating issue. City Manager Watenpaugh summarized that if he understood correctly, there was no issue on the signalization, as Phase IV was in 88-3 and some funds did remain, there were also Development Agreement fees to be spent in the area. He addressed the Homeowners Association and questioned if the City maintained, owned and accepted liability there would not be an issue. Ms. Michiel confirmed, noting that this had been done in Ventura County. She clarified the maintenance issues and the related financial arrangements. Councilwoman Kelley clarified that there was no issue on the light or the trails, Sunswept was planned to be an emergency access, and the Fire Department had approved the plan. Ms. Michiel confirmed. Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner questioned the second signal on Audelo. City Manager Watenpaugh noted that the Developer Agreement fees could be used for that and be well within the limits. Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner inquired if there were adequate warrants to require participation on Audelo. City Manager Watenpaugh clarified that it would be based on the units constructed. Project Engineer Ballard indicated that the issue would be brought up at the latter part with regard to the traffic study, so they had recommended that it be reviewed by the Traffic Engineer for the warrants. Mayor Brinley indicated that she was o.k. with the trail, and the signals, but still had issues on Sunswept Drive. She questioned the ability to maintain public safety, as a sign would not stop people from going through the area. PAGE FOURTEEN - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - FEBRUARY 25, 2003 She questioned other possible means to prevent use. Community Development Director Brady indicated that it had been left up to the Fire Department, so they would have a say in how it wouldbe designed. Ms. Michel noted the issues of cul-de-sac and rolled curbs. She explained that they had suggested "turfcrete", and explained that grass would be planted in the holes in the material. She str~ssed that the grass was intended to discourage access other than emergency access. Mayor Brinley inquired if they had an architectural rendering of the rightof-way and how it would look, and noted the potential problems. Ms. Michiel indicated that the product works in Bel-Air. There was general discussion of the original plan vs. the proposed plan for this access. MOVED BY BUCKLEY TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE FOR THE DESIGN LAYOUT AND THE PROVISIONS OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE SPECIFIC PLAN. Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner questioned if it would include the Sunswept design revisions. MOVED BY KELLEY, SECONDED BY SCHIFFNER TO APPROVE THE SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT WITH CLARIFICATIONS, THAT SUNSWEPT WILL BE CLOSED ON A TRIAL BASIS, BUT IF IT CREATES ISSUES, IT WILL BE OPENED UP. City Attorney Leibold indicated that the issue on Sunswept was part of the tract map which could not be done until the amendment was approved.

Appointment of City Treasurer. (F:49.1) City Manager Watenpaugh noted the resignation of City Treasurer Ferro; and e~plained that the Council needed to nominate and vote on a new Treasurer or vote for a Special Election. City Attorney Leibold clarified the Municipal Code with regard to appointment or special election. She indicated that because of the timing and the applicable Government Code, the next available date for a special election would be the November election, which is the regular general election. She explained that if the Council failed to fill the vacancy, it would remain vacant until the November election. City Manager Watenpaugh noted the residency requirement. City Attorney Leibold confirmed that the Treasurer, whether elected or appointed, was required to be a resident. Lorraine Watts, 210 N. Scrivener, noted the newspaper comments that the City Treasurer was a figurehead position; and questioned why it was needed. She suggested that the money could go to help repair streets. Mayor Brinley clarified that the stipend for the Treasurer was only $150 per month. Ms. Watts questioned why the position existed if it was not doing anything. PAGE THIRTY-NINE-CITY COUNCIL MINUTES-FEBRUARY 25, 2003 City Attorney Leibold indicated that in her experience, the majority of general law municipalities do not have an elected City Treasurer. She explained that in most cities it was an appointed position of either the City Manager or the City Finance Director/Administrative Services Director. She advised that the only way to change the position would be to carry it as an item on the next election for presentation to the electorate; and the majority would have to agree to eliminate it as an elected position. Ms. Watts indicated that this answered her question, but expressed concern that the position was not needed. Mayor Brinley detailed the procedure for appointment, and opened nominations. Councilwoman Kelley nominated a fellow teacher who had been a resident since 1990. She indicated that he had a young family and wanted to get involved, and nominated James Judziewicz. Councilman Hickman nominated Tim Fleming, who had been active in the City, and worked on the Palm Tree Preservation Committee. Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner indicated that he would like to nominate Tom Hundshamer, but believed he was not a resident of the City; so he refrained from nomination. Councilman Buckley seconded the nomination for Tim Fleming. MOVED BY BRINLEY, SECONDED BY KELLEY AND CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE TO CLOSE NOMINATIONS. COUNCILMEMBER KELLEY, SCHIFFNER AND BRINLEY VOTED FOR JAMES JUDZIEWICZ. COUNCILMEMBER BUCKLEY AND HICKMAN VOTED FOR TIM FLEMING. PAGE FORTY-CITY COUNCIL MINUTES-FEBRUARY 25, 2003 JAMES JDDZIEWICZ WAS DECLARED THE CITY TREASLIRER. Councilwoman Kelley commented that Mr. Judziewicz would be very excited about this appointment. Councilman Buckley addressed the comments by Ms. Watts, and noted that Mr. Ferro resigned on February 151, and there could have been adequate time for an election. He indicated that he would strongly encourage an immediate special election in the future to ensure that all options are available. He indicated that it was a shame that this office had been reduced to a figurehead, as the most important issuewas the handling of public money. He stressed that this was an elected official in charge of handling the public money and they should be acknowledged. Councilman Hickman suggested creation of a financial committee to work on the budget and to create things that have meaning. THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING WAS RECESSED AT 9:35 P.M. THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING RECONVENED AT 9:38 P.M. PUBLIC COMMENTS - NON-AGENDIZED ITEMS Phil Williams, representing EVMWD, indicated that he was present for rumor control, based on the evening news. He advised that the Canyon Lake Dam was not broken, and that it had been reinforced a couple of years ago. He expressed concern with young people playing below the dam, and suggested that the area remain off-limits during times of overflow. He stressed the danger in the area. He clarified that EVMWD had not been taking water out of Canyon Lake for processing, and would not until June or July, when renovation of their plant was complete. He advised that at 6:45 p.m. this date there was about 1-1/2 feet flowing over the dam, which equated to 1,000 acre feet a day; and noted that this level of flow would be needed for two weeks to bring the Lake back up. He estimated that the flow would continue for another three days. PAGE FORTY-ONE-CITY COUNCIL MINUTES-FEBRUARY 25, 2003 Paula Graver, 218 Ellis Street, thanked the City Council for their assistance with the street sweeping schedule, and noted that she was informed this evening that the signs had been removed. She indicated that there was still a problem with the curbs and sidewalks on Ellis Street, as they are broken, too high and causing problems. She questioned how long it would take to address this issue. Mark Seitz, Lakeview Chapel, 32741 Crescent Avenue, echoed the Council comments that the papers were getting things wrong. He noted that at the last meeting of the Ministers Prayer Council, they discussed that they were not able to pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ at meetings; however they pray in support of the City Council every Sunday and at all times when they gather. He expressed concern for the nation, and offered prayers for the community, development, the City, churches and its citizens. Tim Fleming, 17970 Lakeshare Drive, thanked Councilmember Buckley and Hickman for the nomination far City Treasurer. He indicated that he too had read the newspaper regarding the "figurehead" position, and expressed strong feelings that citizens were deprived of the right to vote on the Treasurer. He expressed hopes that the appointment would fulfill the citizens needs for spending of money. He advised of safety issue at Lakeshore and Wilson Way; and explained that Wilson Way was a steep dirt grade with adriveway mid-way up. He further explained that there was a mud and dirt flow onto Lakeshore Drive forming a dam and causing problems for the traffic. He commented that while City crews move the dirt, he would request that Wilson be paved with a catch basin on Lakeshore. He explained that this would also relieve the neighborhood of dust issues, when the road is dry, noting that any actions would be appreciated. Pete Dawson, 18010 Grand Avenue, noted that the Council had been informed and he wished to state that a group of concerned citizens had filed in court to require CEQA compliance before signature of the agreement on water issues. He noted that there was a statement that CEQA was not required, but they disagree as the terms of the Tilley Agreement and the Fill and Operate Agreement do not allow for the implementation of the use of recycled water. He indicated that if the Court agrees, then the people will have their input, and other government agencies will PAGE FORTY-TWO-CITY COUNCIL MINUTES-FEBRUARY 25, 2003 have input and assure that the process is right and fair. He stressed that they did not want to be seen as adversaries. Steve Slack, representing Lake Elsinore Little League, 15325 Regatta, announced opening day for baseball season and invited the City Council to participate on March 8`h , starting at 7 a.m. with a pancake breakfast. He noted the recent additions to the park, and the participation of Storxn mascots in opening day festivities. He indicated that Councilman Buckley participated last year, and it was a fun day. CITY MANAGER COMMENTS City Manager Watenpaugh commented on the following: 1) Regarding Ellis Street, explained that it was on the list to come back to Council for funding in the next 60 days or in July. He noted that some work on low income housing would also assist in this area. 2) Complimented Mark Seitz on his energy, spirit and innovation. CITY ATTORNEY COMMENTS City Attorney Leibold commented on the following: 1) Advised that the Council met in Closed Session to consider an item which was agendized as Anticipated Litigation, however after the Agenda posting the City was actually served with a Writ of Mandate under CEQA requirements, by Water Not Promises against the City and EVMWD. She indicated that with regard to this item there was no reportable action. PAGE FORTY-TI~REE-CITY COUNCIL MINUTES-FEBRUARY 25, 2003 COMMITTEE REPORTS No Reports.

He indicated that he recommended a businessman to fill the role, and expressed regrets that Mr. Fleming was not selected. Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner commented on the following: 1) Addressed the City Treasurer position, noting that if the position carried duties, it would also have to carry requirements far election to the position, such as accounting or auditing, where there has been no requirement. He commented if it were on the ballot to do away with the position and the electorate chose not to do so, it would continue to draw a check with nothing to do. He suggested that this item be placed on the ballot to change it to an appointed position or establish a general requirement or do away with it completely. 2) Noted a recent study session when a Councilmember addressed CFD's on a tract of houses for an assessment to support Police and Fire, and expressed concern with comments regarding break-ins in Tuscany Hills. He indicated that there was the insinuation of poor policing and that rent a-cops would do a better job; which he felt were PAGE FORTY-FOUR-CITY COUNCIL MINUTES-FEBRUARY 25, 2003 ridiculous comments. He advised that he had investigated the situation and found out that in October-December, there were 8 burglaries, 5 of which were vehicles, 2 houses, and one person. He inquired of Chief Walsh if this was a typical number of incidents for a residential area. Chief Walsh indicated that would be a fairly low number. Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner concurred that his suspicion was that it was low. Councilman Hickxnan indicated that he lives in Tuscany Hills, and serves on the Board of Directors and is concerned about the incidents. He indicated that there had been three burglaries in the last week and a half in his neighborhood. He indicated that nothing was getting solved and suggested what could be done with this report. Councilman Buckley commented on the following: 1) Indicated that his recollection was that for every inch of rain there was a foot of water in the Lake, including runoff. He noted that Canyon Lake filled up relatively quickly and indicated that this was a sign of how much building in Menifee had already increased the runoff. He commented that it would bring more water and not cost money. 2) Thanked City Treasurer Ralph Ferro for his service to the community, noting that he tried to make change, but was not successful. He reiterated his support for Mr. Fleming to fill the position and thanked him for his willingness to serve. 3) Noted the low spots in area roads, and questioned the possibility of a "no wake" ordinance to address the big puddles.
