surplus, and indicated that another bill was pending to take away cities'

PUBLIC COMMENTS - NON-AGENDIZED ITEMS
Gary Kelley invited the Council and Public to attend a meeting on June 21S` at 7
p.m. in the EVMWD Board Room, with guest speaker Ronald Young, President of
the Water Rescue Fund; and explained the purpose of the organization. He
expressed hopes that the Mayor and City Council would attend, and noted that the
members of the recycled water task force would be present to answer questions.
Pete Dawson, 18010 Grand Avenue, addressed the need for water. He noted that
the i,ake was below the 1241' elevation and stressed that water was needed
immediately. He indicated that there had been a small algae bloom and small fish
kill this week, and suggested that water was available from the wells and Canyon
Lake, pursuant to the Tilley Agreement. He noted conversations with past
EVMWD General Managers Jim Laughlin, John Hoagland and John Rossi
regarding opening the valve to release water from Canyon Lake; but noted that a
new very expensive release had been installed which would provide a lot of water
in a hurry. He indicated that he had been told that the Tilley Agreement was no
longer valid, but he disagreed, noting that a legal firm previously involved in the
Tilley Agreement was now saying it was not valid.
PAGE EIGHT - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - JUNE 12, 2001
Chris Hyland, 15191 Wavecrest Drive, indicated that she attended a study session
last week and heard that the parks assessment was again on the front burner. She
indicated that a parent had requested that the funds be specifically tied to the
parks, and while she would like to join the parents in their support, she had her
doubts. She suggested that she could not trust the City to use the funds as they
were designated, noting past loans from the library fund, etc. She further
suggested that the City would have the funds if it did not have so many legal fees
to pay. She questioned how the City could sue EVMWD over the Tilley
Agreement and suggested it was a political move for the upcoming election. She
commented that "double-dealing" was business as usual. She noted comments by
Councilman Pape regarding the $15 million to clean up Lake Elsinore, and
indicated that Lake Elsinore was only a small portion of the statewide efforts.
Leroy Tucker, 3532 Cherry Blossom, indicated that he had complained about the
Council Meeting sound system in the past, but even with the new system the
sound is not adequaie for home viewing. He suggested checking the system. He
addressed Mr. Watenpaugh's comments about people not attending the Water
Board meetings; and suggested that most residents work long hours and could not
attend a meeting, however they do try to get out and vote every couple of years.
He concurred with Mr. Dawson's comments on the need to obtain water and
suggested that an additional4 or 5 inches would help with aeration of the Lake
and prevent fish kills. He inquired whether there was a fee associated with the use
of conservation workers who help with fish kill clean up. City Manager
Watenpaugh indicated that there was a small fee for that service. Mr. Tucker
noted the recently approved $140,000 for floating toilets and suggested without
water in the Lake there would be no need for them. He suggested that the Lake
had been consulted to death, noting the various studies, and indicated that he had a
plan to address the Lake. He suggested that for the price of the floating toilets, a
nice barge could be purchased for setting traps for fish, the fish could be caught
and sorted, with the good fish kept and the others hauled off. He suggested lots
of people would assist with this effort. Mayor Schiffner indicated that the efforts
were underway to pursue this type of projects. Mr. Tucker noted that excellent
work had been done in connection with the pipe installation on Lake Street, and
expressed hopes that the City's project would be a complete project and not just
patching.
CITY MANAGER COMMENTS
City Manager Watenpaugh commented on the following:
1) Clarified that regarding the Council Study Session on a Parks and
Recreation Assessment, staff was requesting authorization to look at a
benefit analysis study for residential parcels for funding of the
services. He stressed that this would be designated funds and cover
what had been taken away from the LLMD. He expressed belief that
it could be beneficial, but stressed that it would be subject to Council
approval to move forward. He noted that the public could advise the
Council if they were in support of the assessment for designated
purposes or not.
PAGE NINE - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - JUNE 11, 2001
~ 2) Advised that regarding studying the Lake, everyone would agree, but
clarified that the issues between the Water District and the City were
regarding the Tilley Agreement and had nothing to do with the JPA.
He stressed that this was an effort for the City and the District to
clarify where they stand on the water supply. He noted that the Tilley
Agreement also included a number of private individuals and entities
besides the City/Water District.
3) Indicated that he agreed with some of Mr. Tucker's comments 100%,
however there were a number of other agencies to satisfy as part of
the process. He concurred that removing the fish was a good idea,
and discussion of that and related issues was ongoing. He noted that
staff would do a better job of getting information to the public.
4) Indicated that he would follow-up with checking the sound system.
5) Congratulated Daniel Aguilar and Andrea Faley on their awards.
CITY ATTORNEY COMMENTS
City Attorney Leibold indicated that the City Council met in Closed Session far
discussion of the matters listed on the agenda, and the only reportable action was
in the case of the Cities vs. County in connection with disbursement and
appropriation of taxes. She indicated that the City Council unanimously
authorized the filing of a Notice of Appeal.
CY'd'Y COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilwoman Kelley commented on the following:
1) Thanked the Wizard of Oz cast for coming to the meeting and invited
the public to view the production on June 22, 23, 29 or 30. She
reiterated that the production had been triple cast and the student had
done a wonderful job. She detailed the ticket prices and indicated
that further inFormation could be obtained at (909) 244-3126.
2) Announced the Music with a View Concert Series and suggested
saving the following dates at 7 p.m.:
August 11, 2001 - The Finians
August 18, 2001 - Steve Oliver
August 25, 2001 - Art of Sax
September 8, 2001 - Riverside Philharmonic
3) Advised that the Skateboard Park was moving forward and would be
out to bid on about July 18~", awarded in August, and construction

with a concessionaire to provide supervision and safety equipment.
PAGE TEN - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - JUNE 12, 2001
4) Congratulated the 2001 High School Graduates including her daughter
Kendall.
Mayor Pro Tem Brinley commented on the following:
1) Addressed the Joint Powers Authority, noting that she sits as a
representative to that board. She stressed that the lawsuit referred to
by Ms. Hyland had nothing to do with the JPA. She indicated that the
JPA would continue to focus on the JPA and the State Initiative. She
stressed that the JPA had nothing to do with the Tilley Agreement, as
it involved historical water rights issues. She indicated that both
entities would remain focused on the necessary treatments for the
Lake, which would be a lot of work. She stressed the need to look at
operations and maintenance, and indicated that those issues would not
be solved with $15 million, as it would only be a drop in the bucket.
She noted the need to show a commitment level to the State to get the
Lake on other water initiatives and bonds. She indicated that both
boards believed that the community deserved the best. She stressed
the commitment to the goals and objectives of the JPA.
2) Addressed the Parks and Recreation feasibility study and indicated
that the user groups were present at the study session and spoke in
support of the study. She commented that they had been waiting a
long time and would like to see utilities included in the consideration,
as they are becoming a hardship for them. She indicated that the
Council was looking far a way to serve the community and the user
groups. She noted that the community and the leagues were growing
and it would be necessary to find a way to fund lights to allow for
evening games. She indicated that the proposed study would provide
the statistics, costs and operational needs, but it would still need to go
to election and be passed by the citizens of Lake Elsinore. She
stressed that the ultimate choice and decision would be by the
community, not the Council. She noted that there would be several
Town Hall meetings for public input and Council wants to hear what
the community desires.
3) Addressed the RTA busses, and indicated that she was very fortunate
this year in working with the RTA to secure four busses for the City.
She indicated that she would like to see the user groups get together
and lease one of the busses for $1 a year and assume maintenance
responsibilities. She indicated that another bus would go to the
Senior Center to allow for transportation to the Center or to be used
on short excursions. She indicated that she was working with the
City Attorney to be sure the City was covered for liability, but looked
forward to providing this assistance to the Seniar Citizens and
children. She indicated that they would also be working with the
Department of Public Social Services and the County Healthy Family
Unit to assist with welfare to work programs. She stressed the efforts
to help better the lives of the City's residents.
PAGE ELEVEN - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - JUNE 12, 2001
4) Advised that the connection of Casino Drive/Franklin Street,would be
awarded on July 10~' with construction starting the first week in
August.
5) Wished all of the High School Seniors, Kendall Kelley and Peggy
McColley a happy graduation and congratulated all.
Councilman Pape commented on the following:
1) Noted that the local high schools were using the Diamond for
graduation, as well as several schools from outside the Ctiy. He
noted the other schools, and welcomed them to the City. He
expressed hopes that all would have a successful graduation. He also
noted that there were 33 events besides baseball planned for the rest
of the year at the Diamond.
2) Addressed the issue of Water for Lake Elsinore. He noted the Lake
Management Plan which helped to solve the past flooding problems,
and stressed the need for a plan to deal with the shortage of water. He
stressed the terms of the Tilley Agreement for the San Jacinto River
Channel; and noted that the City was not receiving any of that water.
He suggested that even if the Tilley agreement was not valid, it would
not be reasonable to assume that the District would be allowed to
keep all of the water. He noted that the Council was working
diligently to obtain additional funds to deal with water quality, but
the lawsuit is an issue of water quantity. He indicated that even if
Lake Elsinore didn't get the water, it would not stay in Canyon Lake
anyway, as the District would pump it out for other uses. He stressed
that the arguments which are arising are not consistent, and it is
important for people to understand the whole situation. He noted that
the City was now being offered 1,500 acre feet of reclaimed water,
but there were two reasons that would not be appropriate. He
indicated that it would take six months for the 1,500 acre feet to get
into the Lake based on the daily availability. He stressed that water
was needed this summer and wouldn't be in place until well into the
fall when the summer tourist season is over. He indicated that the
second problem with the proposed water was that it is very high in
phosphorous which causes algae blooms and a horrendous smell. He
stressed the impact on the community and property values, and
indicated they were issues worth fighting for. He stressed that
phosphorous would create additional problems in the Lake. He
expressed hopes that he had clarified the efforts going on behind the
scenes and the matters that had been negotiated for almost eleven
months. He indicated that it was time to get a judge to make a
decision on the e~cisting agreement.
Mayor Schiffner commented on the following:
1) Indicated that he didn't hear anything from Councilman Pape that he
PAGE TWELVE - CITY COiTNCIL MINUTES - JUNE 12, 2001
disagreed with, except possibly a different spin on the information.
He indicated that the Council had initiated a legal action with the
Water District, but it was not aggressive. He further indicated that it
was a difference of opinion on what the Tilley Agreement means and
it was being taken to a third party to consider the validity of the
agreement and provide an interpretation. He commented that when
the action was done, both parties would abide by the ruling, but
stressed that the disagreement didn't encompass any other issues.
He indicated that a number of options for sources of water were being
negotiated, and efforts are underway to work out solutions. He noted
that there were many questions about recycled water, and he would
not disagree with that, but there was mare to the situation, including
possible methods of mitigation. He stressed that this was not a major
conflict, but rather a question to be answered to solve the
disagreement.
3) Noted upcoming community events. In addition to the long list of
events at the Diamond, June 22"d Fireworks, June 23`d Padres Night
and Cruise Night, July 15` Open Air Market, July 4`~' Fireworks at the
Diamond.
4) Wished everyone a good night.
Mayor Pro Tem Brinley noted that the EDC Lunch would be on Thursday, June
14, 2001 at the Diamond.
