He advised that EVMWD did support some of the funding two weeks ago. He indicated that staff has met with SAWPA, Eastern Municipal Water and Western Municipal Water General Managers and they are also supporting the legislation through their lobbyist. _ _ Councilman Pape indicated that the City should make every effort to ensure that the City is included in the water bond to be voted on by the public. He suggested that this $1,500 is well worth the effort. Councilman Schiffner indicated that this was a worthwhile gamble. Mayor Kelley concurred that the City should make every effort to ensure funding.

Concert in the Park - Riverside County Philharmonia (F:62.1) City Manager Watenpaugh noted the staff report and the proposed effort to find sponsors and funding to bring the Philharmonic to the community. He commented on an existing program to bring the Philharmonic to the schools, and noted that they are proposing a full symphony. He advised that there would need to be a tent for the Philharmonic group and the participants would view from the grass at McVicker Park. He further advised that consideration is being given to holding other events that afternoon prior to the concert. He detailed the costs which are anticipated to total about $14,000. He noted that contact has been made with several local businesses who would be willing to participate with sponsorships, however if there are not sufficient sponsorships, the event would not go forward. City Treasurer Knapp expressed concern with the fact that the $12,000 has , to come up front, and questioned the other requirements only costing an extra $2,000. He suggested that the advertising and tent would be more costly and could go up to $20,000. He further suggested if the City seeks sponsors and doesn't get them the City is stuck with the bill. He indicated that there should be an effort to supply fireworks on the 4`" of July before PAGE SIX - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - MARCH 9,1999 consideration is given to a Philharmonic concert. He suggested that the level of participation would be higher. Chris Hyland, 15191 Wavecrest, indicated that she was concerned about the money too, and expressed doubts as to whether it would be possible to get that much money in sponsorships. She questioned interference by the fire station if the orchestra is at McVicker Park. She indicated that she called Senator Haynes' office and got a copy of the Quimby Act for City Attorney Leibold to read. City Attorney Leibold indicated that she had a copy of the Quimby Act and was familiar with it. Mayor Kelley clarified that this is not a contact signed up front. She advised that she and the City Manager met with the Director of the Philharmonic and the Elsinore Valley Arts Network and EVAN would do a lot of the publicity for this event. She noted that the Council has previously supported the farmation of EVAN and one of the original goals was for an afternoon or evening concert in the park. She clarified that the fire station would not be built by September and this is a wonderful opportunity for the community to experience the symphony. She indicated that EVAN will do most of the legwork and they are confident they can raise all of the necessary funds. She noted that there has been a suggestion of an all utilities concert, with Edison, the Gas Company, etc. participating. She stressed that this is a very positive event for the City and she has a lot of confidence the funding will not be a problem. Councilman Pape indicated that this was a great opportunity for a local concert. He noted that some of the music proposed to be played would be a lot of fun. He commented that he does have a problem with the City being so involved in the event. He noted that he supported the Arts Network 100% because he thought they would bring these types of events; and he would prefer that they do the work rather than City staff. He stressed that he doesn't believe the City should be paying for the concert. He further stressed that this is a great project for the Arts Network, and he would support it 100°/o if the Arts Network were to move forward, make the arrangements and do the advertising. Councilwoman Brinley expressed concern for the money factors being left open. She questioned how much money is currently committed to the event. Mayor Kelley indicated that she has not made formal commitments at this time, but City staff is needed to assist with a proposal for funding. She clarified that if the City makes the proposal the utilities would generally be more receptive. She stressed that the Arts Network is not in a position to write grants and they would need assistance in lining up the large tent required for the event. Councilwoman Brinley indicated that she would have liked to have seen the breakdown of what a tent of that size would cost to rent and noted that the Police Department would need to be paid for crowd control. She further indicated that she is afraid that if the money is not raised, the City holds the PAGE SEVEN - CITY COiTNCIL MINUTES - MARCH 9,1999 bag for the balance. Mayor Kelley clarified that the event would not move forward without sponsorship. She explained that the costs are not completely known for the tent ar security, but the City is being given a discount for the concert. She concurred that there would be a need for police officers; but noted that there would be lots of small donations and lots of volunteers. She stressed the need for assistance in trying to obtain the larger dollar donations and grant funds. She reiterated that the City would not be committed to the event ahead of time, and clarified that she was requesting permission to explore fixnding sources and use a little staff time for making contacts with utility companies and larger businesses. Councilman Metze questioned if a letter of support would be adequate or if there is a necessary dollar amount to be approved. He indicated that the netwark idea is terrific, but he is concerned with looking at dollars. He further indicated that he is not sure that concerts in the park would be his first priority, and questioned the reason a dollar amount is important. Mayor Kelley clarified that she is looking for permission to proceed with conceptual approval, with limited staff time being used to get the donors lined up. Councilman Pape suggested that the Arts Network get the donors lined up; with the Council issuing a letter of support for use by the Network. Mayor Kelley indicated that it would help, but there are professional grants available and it would mean more for the grant request to go from the City. Councilwoman Brinley questioned the willingness of the Philharmonic to work with the Arts Network to write the grant. Mayor Kelley clarified that they are requesting assistance in getting letters out to the major businesses. Councilman Schiffner inquired if this could be done without staff time, and questioned how much staff time would be needed. City Manager Watenpaugh indicated that he couldn't authorize staff to proceed if the Council is not interested in having the concert. He offered to investigate further and bring the matter back for further consideration or prepare a list to see what the other organizations could offer. Councilman Pape commented that half the battle of fundraising is knowing the person to talk to in each organization. There was general consensus of the Council that they would like to see the eventproceed.

(F:60.2) City Manager Watenpaugh noted the appointment of Mr. Schiffner as the newest Councilmember and detailed the options Council could consider far his replacement on the Planning Commission. He noted that the Council Policy for appointments is that the Mayor makes the appointment with concurrence from a majority of the Council. Mayar Kelley indicated that she was not sure all of the City Council applicants are interested in serving on the Planning Commission, and other people might specifically want to serve on the Planning Commission. She suggested that she would like to have anyone who is interested reapply for the Planning Commission. She suggested a ten-day application period with the selection based on those applications. Councilman Schiffner inquired if there would be a reason to interview the people who have been interviewed befare, but suggested that new applicants should be interviewed. Councilman Pape suggested that staff call to see if the Council applicants would like their names back in the hat with the new applicants. He further suggested a two member subcommittee to review the applications and come back with a recommendation. Councilwoman Brinley concurred that was how it was done in the past. Mayor Pro Tem Metze indicated that when he was appointed the to Council, he had been interviewed by the Mayor and the Mayor Pro Tem. Councilman Schiffner stressed that he did not want to see a repeated interview process, but the new people should be interviewed. Mayor Kelley indicated that there appeared to be a consensus for contacting the Council applicants, opening the process to new applications, allowing a 10 day application period and proceeding with interviews of new applicants by two Councilmembers.

He further questioned the impact on the local area and the recreational uses in the area. Mayor Kelley clarified that this Resolution does not propose expansion on the local airport. Dick Knapp, City Treasurer, indicated that in his review of this Resolution he gets the impression that it is creating a monopoly for LAX. He noted that a lot of bases are closing and being considered for passenger or freight transportation. He stressed his concern that approval of this item would be approval of a monopoly. Mayar Kelley clarified that this plan is a guide for future expansion. City Manager Watenpaugh further clarified that this Resolution is in support of WRCOG efforts and do exactly the opposite of the understanding presented by Mr. Knapp. He explained that LAX has just increased their volume of traffic and are attempting to keep the money there; and this Resolution is requesting a study to say that it is not practical to increase trips into and out of LAX. He suggested that the intent would be to spread the flights throughout he surrounding areas to prevent the accumulation of traffic and pollution in Los Angeles. Mayor Pro Tem Metze noted that there are at least 9 other developing airports, and there is interest in exploring the potential of other airports. Mayor Kelley concurred and explained the WRCOG efforts. She noted that there is interest in using the March facility for cargo operations. City Manager Watenpaugh explained that this would help to expand the jobs in the area; and stressed that this would be more focused toward international or regional airports. Councilman Pape stressed that the idea is to decentralize air travel, and if the airport traffic is spread out it will make air travel easier. He indicated that this item deserves the support of the Council.
