ongoing administrative or financial mistakes or incompetence ". He noted
that there had been past administrative decisions as well as irresponsible
political decisions and he felt that the statement should be amended. He
addressed Item No. 1 of the Recommendations, paragraph 2 of the
Response, and stated that he would like to see language noting that the City
was operating with a one million dollar deficit this year and that the
Redevelopment Agency has a $15,000,000 unfunded debt. He addressed
Item No. 3 of the Response and suggested that verbiage be added to include
PAGE FORTY - THREE -CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - AUGUST 27, 2002
the fact that the City had contracted for a process audit. He stated that he
felt it was the intent of the Grand Jury to see a forensic audit with an in-
depth process audit. He stated that if the response was approved as it was
written, he indicated that he would, as an independent Councilmember, send
a separate response. He invited anyone on Council to sign his letter that he
would be sending separately. He stated that he would list the letter as an
"Unofficial Minority Report" and it would be available to the public after
Council received a copy.
Councilman Hickman addressed Item No. 6 under findings and stated that
he was not comfortable with the response since it was water under the
bridge, however he felt that there should be a Study Session to address the
Code of Ethics. He suggested that once a person left the City Council or a
Management position with the City they should be prohibited from doing
business with the City for at least a year. He stated that he agreed with
Councilman Buckley's changes.
Councilwoman Brinley asked City Attorney Leibold to address Item No. 5
of the Recommendations. City Attorney Leibold stated that the response, in
her opinion, accurately stated that the City had sufficient budgeted revenues
and reserves to cover anticipated expenditures. She further stated that she
had understood deficit spending to mean monies required to be borrowed to
cover expenses. She commented that the City was not in that condition.
She noted that the Agency did carry loans that had been unfunded on the
books, both to the City and to its housing fund. She indicated that those
were documented and evidenced by an advanced funding agreement from
the City to the Agency and an inter -fund Loan Agreement through one of
the bond issues with respect to monies borrowed from the Housing Fund.
She restated that her understanding was that deficit spending was when the
entity was required to borrow money to cover expenses, and the City was
not in that position. Councilwoman Brinley clarified that the Agency had
been working diligently toward meeting its 20% set aside. City Attorney
Leibold stated that the Agency did have some monies available in its set-
PAGE FORTY - FOUR -CITY COUNCIL MINUTES- AUGUST 27, 2002
aside account that were approved at the last regular Redevelopment Agency
Meeting in connection with Century Builders. She commented that there
was a sizable obligation back to the housing fund, but it had been
recognized and the Agency looked forward to funding the Housing Fund
and doing more affordable housing projects. Councilwoman Brinley
commented that according to Supervisor Buster's comments she felt he was
disappointed in the findings of the Grand Jury; and further commented that
Supervisor Buster knew that the Council and Agency had been working
through past financial problems. She addressed the section on Ethics and
stated that no one liked to throw stones, however the incident did happen.
She noted that all of Council's ethics had been in question, but noted that
Closed Sessions were in compliance with the Brown Act. She welcomed a
future Study Session regarding policies and the Code of Ethics. She
addressed the investigation of the Stadium and noted that the City had
responded to a former Grand Jury investigation. She noted that annual
independent audits were done every year and had been cleared through the
State of California.
Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner stated that he found no problems with the
responses suggested in the draft. He addressed Councilman Buckley's
comment that some of the answers in the response would not satisfy the
Grand Jury, and commented that as one of the Council that was interviewed
by the Grand Jury and seeing their recommendations, he felt that they did
not understand what was going on in the City. He stated that he was not
concerned with satisfying them, but rather complying with the law that
stated that the City must respond. He noted that the Grand Jury specifically
made a comment in regard to the Code of Ethics not being followed. He
noted that anything but an answer to that would indicate that the City agreed
that the Code of Ethics had not been followed and that was not true. He
indicated that there had been one case and that was all there was. He stated
that he would be willing to review the Code of Ethics at a Study Session,
however the issues that Councilman Hickman raised had nothing to
PAGE FORTY -FIVE -CITY COUNCIL MINUTES- AUGUST 27, 2002
do with the Grand Jury Recommendation. He stated that he was in support
of the document, exactly as it is written.
Mayor Kelley commented that during her appearance before the Grand Jury
she felt that they were specifically looking at the drownings. She noted that
she was quizzed on many other subjects, especially past history, of which
no one on the current Council would have direct knowledge. She noted that
the Stadium was built long before the current Council took office and the
existing Council had made every effort to make sure that the City benefits
from the Stadium; the Stadium had already been investigated by the Grand
Jury and there was no negative report from that investigation. She
addressed the finding regarding the City Campground and noted that in an
effort to reduce the debt on the Stadium, the City and the Agency did
refinance from 9.5% down to 1.6% interest on the Lake recreation area and
created a huge savings. She addressed the legal fees and indicated that they
had been very high and noted the items that had been addressed. She noted
that the items being litigated were created long before the existing Council
took office. She stated that the City had excellent legal representation and
that representation was necessary to battle the City's way out of some of the
problems that occurred in the past. Mayor Kelley addressed the Code of
Ethics and stated that the comment was not specific and to her knowledge
there was only one incident where the Code of Ethics was violated. She
noted that some policies were being ignored by some of the current
Councilmembers, however it was not an ethical violation. She noted that
what should have been in the response was the comment Supervisor Buster
made that said, "the City did not qualify for a Municipal Response Team ".
She stressed that she took offense at the Grand Jury's comment regarding
the Code of Ethics. She stated that she was satisfied with the staff s
response.

DISSENTING VOTES TO APPROVE THE RESPONSE LETTER TO THE
GRAND JURY.
City Manager Watenpaugh asked if the Motion was to approve the
Response Letter as it was written. Mayor Kelley confirmed that it was "as
is
City Manager Watenpaugh expressed his agreement with the comment by
Councilman Hickman regarding "water under the bridge "; and stated that he
would make that comment to any number of items in the Grand Jury Report.
He noted that many of the items had been addressed several times and he
did not know how to prevent that occurrence, since the items kept coming
back. He commented on the Process Audit and stated that it would not
address the finances of the City, but rather how staff communicated
information. He stressed that the Process Audit would not address budget
and funding. He indicated that Hayhurst and Associates would look at how
the City was organized and how City staff communicated. City Attorney
Leibold stated that there was consideration given as whether to include
reference in this report to the recently commissioned Process Audit and
concluded that it was not focused on finances. She stated that it did not hurt
to add to the response that it was something that the City was doing.
Councilwoman Brinley stated that she thought that the Study was going to
look at the salaries of the employees. City Manager Watenpaugh stated that
the Parity Study would address salaries and benefits of the employees,
however it would not be addressed in the budget until the study was done to
consider if the budget could address those changes. He explained that the
Parity Study would look at salaries, benefits and present comparisons for
Council consideration. Mayor Pro Tern Schiffner clarified that a Process
Audit addressed performance. City Manager Watenpaugh explained that a
Process Audit was a management audit that looked at how issues were dealt
with and the process of handling work. City Attorney Leibold stated that it
would not hurt to reference the L.B. Hayhurst contract to the extent that it
PAGE FORTY -SEVEN -CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - AUGUST 27, 2002
demonstrated the City's willingness to evaluate process and look at its
procedures, as well as the Parity Study.

MOTION TO INCLUDE AT THE END OF RECOMMENDATION NO. 39
THE VERBIAGE "IN ADDITION, THE CITY RECENTLY ENTERED
INTO A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH HAYHURST
AND ASSOCIATES TO CONDUCT A PROCESS AUDIT AND PARITY
STUDY"
Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner indicated that he wished to make it clear that the
City did not enter into the contract for a Process Study and Parity Study in
response to the Grand Jury, but rather in response to concerns of some of
the Council. City Manager Watenpaugh stated that the Attorney's point
was the Council was willing to take a look internally as to whether the City
was doing things right or doing them wrong. He indicated that it focused on
the point that Council was willing to look at things and make changes if the
process was not proper.
City Attorney Leibold addressed Councilman Buckley's identification of
the accuracy and response to Item No. 4 last paragraph of the findings "As a
point of clarification, the City's attorneys' fees do not include fees related to
the City defense cost for "drownings." She stated that for total accuracy she
would address the 4 or 5 hours of phone charges that were regarding the
drownings. Councilwoman Brinley asked if City Attorney Leibold knew
the amount of the fees, off the top of her head. City Attorney Leibold stated
that she did not, however she indicated that she would include the amount
or at least make reference to the fact that the greater cost of the expense was
covered through the SCJPIA.

City Attorney Leibold noted that she had a conversation with Councilman
Buckley regarding the Grand Jury Response, which he mentioned in his
comments. She stated that there was only one official response from the
City to the Grand Jury. She indicated that Councilman Buckley had stated
that he might prepare his own individual comments and forward them to the
Grand Jury. She further noted that, as such, she would anticipate that such a
response would say something to the effect that "I am an elected
Councilmember in the City of Lake Elsinore; I participated in the
discussion; and I voted against the official response for the following
reasons ". She stated that any of Council could enjoy their first amendment
rights and could contact the Grand Jury in an individual capacity, however
the response, although referencing the position as a Councilmember, should
be on personal stationary and identified as "not an official response ".

PUBLIC COMMENTS - NON - AGENDIZED ITEMS
Mayor Kelley noted the new podium for Public Comments.
Pete Dawson, 18010 Grand Avenue, expressed thanks for the quick response to
the recent fish kill. He commented that the problem was solved "for now ", but
opens the possibility of another episode with low oxygen levels and high nutrient
PAGE FORTY - NINE -CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - AUGUST 27, 2002
levels. He further commented that there was another problem, being the media
coverage of the fish kills, which would impact the Labor Day Holiday weekend.
He stressed the need for some public relations work to get the word out that the
fish kill was over. He further stressed the magnitude of this holiday weekend for
the businesses and the community. He suggested that the Council should
recommend that a Councilperson with a media background respond with a
positive press release.
Carl Gayley, resident of Escondido, noted that he was the project manager for a
renovation project on the Shore Acres Resort on Grand Avenue. He indicated that
the project was being funded by his family investment group, which was a group
of dairy farmers. He indicated that he was looking forward to working with the
community and solicited support for their efforts.
Bill Tucker, 740 Acacia, noted the fish kill last week, but stressed the City's quick
action to solve the problem. He commented that the fish were mostly carp and last
year's hatch of catfish, as well as a couple of huge bass. He announced a Kids
Fishing Contest on October 2 d, which he was just starting to promote. He noted
that he was trying to acquire different fish, which would be easier for the kids to
catch, such as Tilapia, or highbred Bluegill.

call radio shows and remind them that there was a fish kill, but it is
over, and encourage people to come out and enjoy the Lake.

1) Addressed the Media and the Channel 7 coverage, noting that they
interviewed Mark Norton of SAWPA and he gave a nice explanation.

than the recent harvesting effort. He noted that fish kills occurred in
other lakes as well.
2) Noted that he read a letter from a resident of the County area, who he
met and got acquainted with, and indicated that some of his
statements were quite inaccurate. He noted that with regard to the
lake wells, and the ability to have them on in two days, there were no
pumps in the wells, and while work was proceeding to get them in
operation, considerable engineering was required. He also
commented that power lines were required and the total cost of
getting the wells in operation was about $1.3 million. He suggested if
