Amendments to Municipal Code - Lake Safety Regulations - Ordinance No. 1100. (F:92.1) Community Services Director Sapp explained the proposed Ordinance and noted that some of the changes were as a result of the Destratification System. He advised that the recommendations were based on discussions with the Police and Lake Operations. He detailed the proposed changes including the reduction of speeds in the High Speed Zone to 35 mph on weekends and holidays; no vessels exceeding 40 feet in length, safety regulations far vessels traveling in excess of 80 mph , anchoring limitations and prohibition of mooring to the axial flow pump station. Pete Dawson, Pro Marine, indicated that he fully supported this effort to change the regulations. He further indicated that the Ordinance was going in the right direction, but suggested that there were several other things to be Page Nineteen - City Council Minutes - June 24, 2003 done. He stressed the need to promote use of the Lake and Lake safety. He indicated that he addressed his suggestions to the Sheriff about eight months ago, and offered the Council a copy of his thoughts. He indicated that his knowledge of the Lake, allowed him to see what would work and what would improve the situation further. Councilwoman Kelley expressed support for the new safety regulations, and noted that she was very nervous about the pumps. She stressed her concern for being sure the boaters were safe, and questioned the pumps system. Lake Operations Manager Kilroy indicated that the high speed zone would be realigned when the system was installed, as well as widened and lengthened. He further indicated that the markings would be upgraded and larger signage would be installed. He noted that each buoy would include a GPS system to keep them on track in their proper location; and each docking station would have a barrier float system. He further noted that if someone got to the pumps themselves there were safety screens. He commented that the Lake was sized for 1,200 boats moving at a fairly high rate of speed, and stressed that the pumps were very small in comparison. He also stressed the signage and mailings that would be provided to advise the public and ensure adequate safety measures were in place. Councilwoman Kelley inquired when the pumps would be operational. Lake Operations Manager Kilroy indicated that it would depend on the availability of the marine cable, but probably late September. Councilwoman Kelley inquired if there would be patrols the first week of operation to make sure everyone was well informed. Lake Operations Manager Kilroy confirmed that there would be high visibility and the equipment would be well signed. Mayor Brinley inquired if it would be wise to develop notices for distribution at the boat launches to make sure people were aware of them. Lake Operations Manager Kilroy indicated that would be an excellent idea, and consistent with what had been done for the Carp removal; and staff would be glad to do that. Page Twenty - City Council Minutes - June 24, 2003 Councilman Buckley noted the discussion of making the equipment very visible, and suggested a bright color for visibility. Lake Operations Manager Kilroy indicated that was still being discussed. Councilman Buckley addressed the High Speed zone and clarified that on weekends and holidays, it would essentially go away. Lake Operations Manager Kilroy confirmed, and explained that high performance vessels would be allowed Monday through Friday, when there were less people on the Lake. Councilman Buckley inquired if this had been discussed with the high performance vessel owners. Sheriff Sgt. Brandt indicated that most of the High Speed zone users cam out during the week, mainly on Tuesdays. He stressed that they preferred a low boat count on the water for safety. He suggested that the proposed Ordinance made good sense even without the flow pumps, and noted the overall volume of boats on the water. Councilman Hickman questioned how fast the boats generally went. Sgt. Brandt indicated that was hard to say, but they generally exceeded 90 mph. He expressed concern for protection of the sub-marine cable, but concurred with the proposal. Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner noted that there had been a lot of comments, but this project was well thought out. He noted the size of the pump platforms and the proposed markings, and stressed that it would be more visible than most of the boats. Mayor Brinley indicated that she had no problem with the Ordinance, as it would provide more security and safety; however she wanted to be sure that people were well aware that the equipment was out there.

He explained that all new developments would be required to join the district, so at build out, it would generate $13 million in revenues for police, fire and medics. He advised that the first year would generate about $100,000 and continue to grow. He recommended dropping recommendation number 4, while approving recommendations l, 2 and 3 and Approving the Consent Waiver Forms for each of the two developments. Page Twenty-Two - City Council Minutes - June 24, 2003 Don Hunt, City Bond Disclosure Counsel, offered to answer any questions, noting that this was being established under the Mello Roos, Community Facilities District Act. Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner indicated that this was something that had been discussed for quite a while and the only undesirable factor was that while new members of the community would be paying for a share of their protection, while others were not. He commented that while it might seem unfair to some, it was necessary to start somewhere, particularly in light of the potential population growth over the next few years. He stressed that this would help pay for expanded police and fire protection, and that there would be a new fire station, by the time this was complete. Councilman Buckley inquired how a house would end up paying this fee. Bond Counsel Hunt indicated that City policy would dictate for more than four units, or units requiring discretionary approvals, would be required to participate in this district. Councilman Buckley inquired what would happen if someone bought an existing lot and built a house. Mr. Hunt indicated it would not be in the district. There was general discussion of situations for participation in the district. Councilman Buckley inquired about the ending date of the district; and suggested that the Resolution allow the Council to specifically approve the continuance of the district every third year. Bond Counsel Hunt explained the cost vs. the cost plus the escalator, but indicated that the City would never recover the actual cost of providing the services. Councilman Buckley stressed the need for an automatic review period, so the fee would not continue to rise. Mr. Hunt indicated that would be possible. Councilman Buckley stressed that it would be nice to have things like this reviewed by the Council. Councilman Hickman inquired if it would be wise to include a sunset clause. Mr. Hunt indicated that would be possible, if the City would like to consider stopping the provision of services. Councilman Hickman expressed concern with the tax going on forever. Mr. Hunt clarified the ability to rescind the Page Twenty-Three - City Council Minutes - June 24, 2003 district at any time. Councilman Hickman noted that most Mello-Roos districts had a 25 year life. Mr. Hunt concurred, but noted that they were generally paid off, however this district would be for a continuing service. Councilman Hickman commented that this was a tax and he hated taxes; so he suggested a 10 or 20 year review period. Mr. Hunt noted that if the district reached the sunset, it would have to go back to the property owners for a vote. Mayor Brinley commented that the Council had the ability to bring the district back for review at any time, but it would still have to go back to the people for a vote. Councilwoman Kelley commented that there was no doubt that the City was in a growth mode and noted the addition of 3-1/2 police officers in the new budget. She noted that the goal was to have one officer per thousand residents, and commented on the difficulty of keeping up with that goal. She reiterated that the district could be reviewed at any time. She requested confirmation from the City Attorney that she had no conflict in that she was moving into the Pardee area. City Attorney Leibold confirmed that there was no conflict as it would impact all of the residents equally. Councilwoman Kelley stressed that it was important for new growth to pay rts own way. Mayor Brinley commented that there were always public comments about the need to keep up with the new houses and growth, and this was a mechanism to assist in that effort. She noted the option for future Councils to revisit this issue and questioned the process for participation in the district. City Manager Watenpaugh clarified the process and indicated that the current property owners would be voting on the district. Ron LaPere, 16867 Wells, commented that he recalled a meeting at their house, with a similar situation over parks. He noted that the main issue at that time was the need for information up front. He expressed hopes that the developers would let the residents know the impacts on the new homes. He Page Twenty-Four - City Council Minutes -June 24, 2003 inquired who would make the decision on the fire station location. City Manager Watenpaugh indicated that it would be done in cooperation with the fire services based on the maps. Mayor Brinley indicated that she agreed that some notification needed to go out to clarify who would be voting and who would not. City Manager Watenpaugh further clarified that the property owners for the projects would vote, but "white papers: would be provided later to provide information to the home buyers. Mayor Brinley expressed sympathy with the owners impacted by the fee, who were not properly informed. Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner indicated that this would be an assessment which would be included just like other Mello-Roos taa~es. He requested clarification that the use of the funds would be dedicated to the purposes designated. He suggested clarification that there was a requirement to spend the money for police and fire protection. Mr. Hunt confirmed that these would be limited use funds. MOVED BY BUCKLEY, SECONDED BY HICKMAN TO APPROVE THE DISTRICT WITH THE PROVISO THAT IT WOULD APPEAR ON THE CONSENT CALENDAR ANNUALLY, PRIOR TO APPROVAL OF THE BUDGET TO REMIND THE COUNCIL THAT IT WAS IN PLACE. Councilman Hickman inquired if every year would be too frequent. City Attorney Leibold noted that the 2% escalator would occur automatically, unless the Council took other action. City Manager Watenpaugh requested clarification as to whether this motion would include the 2% escalator. Mr. Hunt indicated that as written it was suspended, but not eliminated. MOVED BY SCHIFFNER, SECONDED BY KELLEY, A SUBSTTTUTE MOTION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2003-21, AND APPROVE THE DISTRICT AS PROPOSED. Page Twenty-Five - City Council Minutes - June 24, 2003 Councilwoman Kelley questioned the point of having this matter come back to the Council continually. Councilman Buckley suggested the possibility of an annual status report. City Manager Watenpaugh noted that there would be some form of annual consideration to allow for submittal to the Assessor's Office. Mr. Hunt confirmed that each year there would be a special tax list to send to the tax collector which would identify all of the participating properties. He indicated that when new development occur, they would go through the process to annex into the district. THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION CARRIED BY A VOTE OF 4 TO 0 WITH COUNCILMAN BUCKLEY ABSTAINING. RESOLUTION NO. 2003-21 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE TO ESTABLISH COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2003-1 (LAW ENFORCEMENT, FIRE AND PARAMEDIC SERVICES) AND TO AUTHORIZE THE LEVY OF A SPECIAL TAX WITHIN SAID DISTRICT. 34. 2003-2004 Fiscal Year Annual Bud~et. (F:30.1) City Manager Watenpaugh advised that there had been three warkshops held on this topic and there was not much discussion at the last meeting. He indicated that the cost for Option l, following the Hayhurst study, had been included as approved at the Special Council Meeting. He also indicated that the funding for Medics had been included with the Fire Department. He reviewed the budget highlights by department and explained the associated costs. He noted that based on item 33 of this agenda, there would be additional revenues which were not included in the budget. He detailed the Redevelopment Agency revenues and expenditures and noted the surplus. He explained the Capital Improvement Budget and summarized the total expenditures and revenues. He projected that there would be $3 million in reserves and noted the possibility of savings if the Stadium were sold. He Page Twenty-Six - City Council Minutes - June 24, 2003 advised that water for the Lake had been budgeted this year and noted that staff had discussed separating Lake Operations off as a separate department. He indicated that the total cost for the change in Lake Operations would be about $41,742 for an Office Specialist II. He indicated that the change would increase the deficit from $1.3 million to $1,370,275; and noted that the budget would also change slightly with the CFD and the La Laguna Road Improvements. Tim Fleming, 17970 Lakeshore Drive, expressed opposition to a deficit budget, indicating that General Fund dollars should not be used to pay for overhead items. He requested that the Council vote for a balanced budget. Councilman Hickman inquired if based on the Parity Study, by approving the budget would the staff automatically be given their salary adjustments. City Attorney Leibold confirmed that the direction from the Special Meeting was to move forward with Option L Councilman Hickman questioned the ability to reopen negotiations with staff. City Manager Watenpaugh clarified that the clause in the MOU only allowed for renegotiation of salaries, however Council had already taken action on the salary issue. He indicated that the only other opener would be if the State took more money from the City. City Attorney Leibold confirmed the contractual agreement. Councilman Hickman noted that there were additional raises in the future and questioned the 2.5% at 55 retirement, and suggested that with the raises it was an additional $15,000 a year in retirement. He further suggested that in the case of top management it was giving a$30,000 increase in pay. He indicated that the 2.5% retirement was the highest city in the area. City Manager Watenpaugh clarified that Lake Elsinore was not the only one with that rate, and reminded the Council that staff gave up a cost of living for two years to gain that system. Councilman Hickman suggested that Lake Elsinore was the only city with 2.5% and Social Security. City Manager Watenpaugh confirmed the participation in the Social Security system. City Attorney Leibold clarified that the negotiated MOU established the increase in retirement benefits; and it was not a negotiable item in the budget. City Manager Watenpaugh clarified the Page Twenty-Seven - City Council Minutes -June 24, 2003 Union's intent in wanting discussion following the Parity Study and indicated that since Option 1 was approved the salaries were set until the State took action, which would require a reopener. City Attorney Leibold concurred and noted the cost of living trade-of£ Councilman Hickman indicated that he believed it would be up for discussion with the Parity Study. Councilman Buckley indicated that there were some good things in the budget being additional police and paramedic, and noted that 87 percent of all fire calls were medical in nature. He commented hat there was some good wark in the Capital budget, however considering the unknown's in Sacramento, it was inappropriate to approve a budget that was this far out of balance. He indicated that granting raises at this point was also inappropriate if the City was to run like a corporation, when the General Funds was down about $13 million. He addressed the outstanding debt for the Redevelopment Agency, and indicated that it was only in the black because it could borrow money from itself. He noted that the RDA owed itself more than $10 million. He suggested that items such as t he Economic Development Technician, general employee salaries and shifting Lake services into a separate Department should be considered later. He reiterated that some of the budget was good, but it was not a budget he could vote for. Mayor Schiffner noted that he kept hearing about a deficit budget and he did not see it that way since the expenditures for the coming year were high due to the additions to public safety, which is coming from money saved last year. He suggested that with the two years together it would balance. He indicated that he had no problem with the budget as presented. He indicated that the Lake Department would be important to the community, particularly in light of several new projects such as carp removal. He reiterated that he did not see this as a deficit budget, as there were carryover funds for use this year. He reiterated the increases in police, fire and paramedics. Mayor Brinley requested a definition of reserves and an explanation of appropriate uses. City Manager Watenpaugh indicated that the Council had Page Twenty-Eight - City Council Minutes -June 24, 2003 previously requested maintenance of a$2 million reserve, however over the last seven years it had been increased to cover litigation. He noted that the original projection was that it would be necessary to go into the reserves, but the year was ending with more money. He stressed that this year staff had recommended setting aside $3 million to cover any possible new issues, such as the state taking wild steps. He noted that further reductions could be made in that case as well. He commented that this was a deficit budget, however in the two year period it would not be considered a deficit. He stressed that staff was looking to provide services and move in a positive mode, so that developments will remain in the community. He indicated that he would stand by the $3 million in reserves and anticipate higher tax revenues than projected. Councilwoman Kelley commented that there had been several study sessions on the budget and many chances to ask questions. She further commented that the Hayhurst study had been completed, as requested by Councilman Buckley, which provided a good opporiunity to compare salaries with other cities. She noted that Lake Elsinore was in a growth mode and building faster than ever, so it was important to meet the demands of the new residents. She indicated that he vision of what she wanted the City to be was not a training ground, but rather an environment of consistently professional staff providing services based on history and knowledge. She stressed that she did not want to be a training ground. She noted that in 1993-94 the City had 79 employees, but due to budget crushes the staff was cut to 42 people to serve a City of 30,000. She indicated that staff was extremely conservative with the numbers and suggested that healthier numbers would be available at mid-year. She noted that while more staff was included in this budget, it was still not back to full staffing; and commented that the Community Development Department was swamped and needed more personnel to meet the needs of the developers. She stressed the increased police services. She concurred that it was important to designate someone for the Lake, as it was the community's most valuable asset. Page Twenty-Nine - City Council Minutes - June 24, 2003 Mayor Brinley concurred with Councilwoman Kelley, and addressed the comments regarding the Redevelopment Agency. She noted the past debt of the Agency and noted that this Council inherited a huge problem and worked through it. She indicated that the Agency was not in the black by a lot, but it was paying its own bills instead of being upside down. She commented that negotiations were underway for sale of the Stadium and noted the potential savings. She suggested that some people were only trying to dwell on the negative issues. She indicated that the City Council tries to provide additional police services where possible, but the funding is not always there. She noted that various officers had been funded via grant funding which helped prevent going into the reserves. She also noted that this budget included a full year of a new fire station and medics for the very first time. She stressed the Council's efforts to provide services. She noted that the salary study was requested by a Councilmember, but it was found that City staff was competitive and not way out of line. She indicated that if the Council desires to see the City progress, it needs staff capable of doing the work, and needs to be willing to pay staff for a job well done. She stressed that City staff was professional and doing a good job. She indicated that staff had proposed a conservative budget, with an emphasis on public safety. City Treasurer Judziewicz commented on the budget, indicating that while technically it was a deficit, he didn't see it that way. He suggested with the inclusion of RDA, LLMD, and Capital Improvements, the City was in the black. He stressed that the reserves would be increased this year, but suggested setting up a separate account for the reserves. He indicated that when the new Administrative Services Director was in place he should be directed to set up said account. He concurred with setting Lake Operations up as a separate department, as the Lake was the source of community identification, and a well-managed lake would help develop tourism. He noted that in addition to public safety, there would also be more Code Enforcement occurring. He thanked the City Manager and staff for answering his questions, the Council's questions and the Public's questions and indicated that they did a professional job of managing the City. He suggested that their efforts would help the City be all it can be in the future. Page Thirty - City Council Minutes - June 24, 2003 Mayor Brinley concurred with the increased Code Enforcement; and noted that the Lake would need a lot of attention, working in cooperation with LESJWA. MOVED BY SCHIFFNER, SECONDED BY KELLEY AND CARRIED BY A VOTE OF 3 TO 2 WITH BUCKLEY AND HICKMAN CASTING THE DISSENTING VOTES TO APPROVE THE FISCAL YEAR 2003-2004 BUDGET AS PRESENTED WITH THE ADDITION OF FUNDING FOR THE LAKE OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT. 11.

She expressed hopes that this would better serve the community.

He advised that he would be working under Chief Walsh's command and had decided to accept the position. He explained the position, noting that his work was contingent on completion of the Academy this fall. He offered to serve as the City's chaplain as well. Ruth Atkins, noted a letter to the editar in the Press Enterprise regarding the myth of homelessness. She indicated that many homeless people do not choose their lifestyles, but others do. She indicated that the ones who choose are cause for concern. She expressed concern for the merchants on Riverside Drive, who are having difficulty with the homeless. She noted that they are entering restaurants demanding to be fed, threatening merchants, and drinking and shooting drugs behind their buildings. She indicated that she would support a homeless shelter supported and backed by the cities along the I-15 corridor. She suggested adoption of a program with rules governing homeless people. She stressed the need to do something for the merchants on Riverside Drive. Edith Stafford was not present for comment. Paula Graver, 218 Ellis, spoke about the support our troop rallies, and noted that they would continue as long as troops were in harms way. She indicated that over 50 military personnel had been lost since the major fighting ended. She stressed that there were still troops deployed and reminded residents to fly their flags, as the war was not over yet. She thanked the community for their help with the rallies and thanked the Council for the resolution of support. She noted that she was trying to gather names of the returning troops for the July 41h celebration at the Diamond. She presented a"Welcome Home" banner and suggested that the City purchase a sign or posting at Camp Pendleton. Bob Magee, 32400 Beechwood Lane, thanked the Council for funding additional deputies, and indicated that he would prefer that the budget be balanced, but the increase was greatly appreciated. He noted that he had been approached by a neighbor regarding the condition of Corydon Road and read a letter from Mrs. Husselman for the record. He indicated that she had lost 2 tires and had two front Page Thirty-Two - City Council Minutes -June 24, 2003 end realignments.
