(F:79.2) Community Services Director Sapp explained the new program proposed by George McDonough of Robbins Pest Management. He advised that it is intended to assist the City with removal of graffiti, by providing supplies, labor and signage funded by area businesses. He further advised that the intent is that the businesses would respond within 48 hours to remove the graffiti. Mr. McDonough noted that there are a lot of new businesses and blank walls which are negatively impacted by graffiti and this program would seek to reduce that problem. He indicated that right now there are ten businesses interested in the program and he believes more will step forward once the program is underway. Councilwoman Brinley indicated that this is a good program, particularly if the businesses step forward. Councilman Schiffner concurred that this is a great program and he is glad to see citizens stepping forward to assist the City. PAGE ELEVEN - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - JUNE 8,1999 Mayor Pro Tem Metze noted that this will be of great assistance to the City and will free up the graffiti person to address other areas. He commended staff on preparing a very complete staff report in a short period of time. Councilman Pape concurred that it was great to see so many businesses interested in assisting the community. He commented that painting over graffiti is a good deterrent to additional graffiti. He thanlced Mr. McDonough for his efforts. Mayor Kelley commented that this is a wonderful program and it was great to see a volunteer force coming out. She reiterated that the program would seelc to remove graffiti within 48 hours and questioned how graffiti should be reported. Community Services Director Sapp indicated that residents can use the same procedure already in place and notify the City, so the City can notify the responsible business. Councilwoman Brinley thanked Mr. McDonough for his efforts and recognized the time and effort invested to put this program together. MOVED BY BRINLEY, SECONDED BY PAPE AND CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE TO APPROVE THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE BEAUTIFICATION PROGRAM AGREEMENT AS PROPOSED AND DIRECT STAFF TO COMPLETE ALL GUIDELINES FOR PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION BY JULY 1,1999; AND AUTHORIZED THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE EACH AGREEMENT. 34. Consideration of a Request Submitted bv the Lake Elsinore Unified School District re~arding the Acquisition of a Parcel of Land in an Industrial Zone for a School Site. (F:142.1) City Manager Watenpaugh introduced the item and noted that the Lake Elsinore Unified School District is required to submit a request to the Planning Commission to consider and malce findings of on the land use in relation to any school sites. He stated that there is no formal action required by the City Council, however there was concern expressed by several City Councilmembers and they wished to have those concerns become part of the official record. He further noted that the site is in the middle of the Industrial Park. Dr. Sherron Lindsey, Superintendent of Schools of the Lake Elsinore Unified School District, stated that she would be available to answer any questions from Council. She explained that the parcel in question is directly across the street from the current District Office, which is located at 454 Chaney Street. She further explained that what they are proposing is to relocate two e~sting school sites that are currently located in rented buildings in "Light Industrial" areas. She noted that they. currently expend $150,000 in rent and are looking to provide a permanent location for the two schools. The Continuation/Adult Education has been in a facility that has required a waiver from the State Department of Education because it PAGE TWELVE - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - JUNE 8,1999 does not meet field standards for housing students. She stated that the waiver will expire in the year 2000 and they will not be eligible for another waiver. Dr. Lindsey stated that they need to find a permanent home for the Continuation School. She explained that in addition to the two schools the District is renting a warehouse in the Warm Springs Industrial Park for $40,000 a year and the accumulated total is nearly $200,000 a year for rental fees. She noted that with the passage of Proposition lA, the State changed its funding mechanism and some of the requirements for what it will fund. She further noted that the District could now seek funding from the State to purchase the schools. Dr. Lindsey commented on the need for diversity in education and noted that the Lake Elsinore Unified School District had the lowest dropout rate in the County and credited the diversity of education offered in our district as the reason for the low rate. She explained that the District set criteria for a potential site including a central location, near a bus route since the District does not provide transportation for alternative education, and close to Interstate 15. She further explained that they would simply be moving from one industrial area to another and would then free up the existing industrial buildings that are currently being used for classes; therefore the District felt that the proposed site was the most promising location for their needs. She further explained that they have met with City staff and have examined other locations; however the: District feels that this is the best possible location to meet all the criteria. Councilman Pape asked if the District was now in escrow on the property. Dr. Lindsey confirmed that they are. and explained that because the District is now part of the State process for receiving funding they have applied to receive hardship funding. She fixrther explained that generally the State only funds 50% of the building of new schools; however the District ineets certain criteria to qualify and if they are approved they could qualify for 100%o funding, however time is of the essence. She noted that one of the critical aspects of this funding is that they must be in escrow to receive hardship funding. She stressed that time is of the essence. Councilman Pape noted the amount of manufacturing that occurs in the area of the proposed site, and that the manufacturing generates vibration, noise and chemical odors, which is not conducive to a school environment. He asked if the State required some type of waiver for those elements. Dr. Lindsey stated that part of the process is that they will have to submit to CEQA for an Environmental Impact Study, which will be submitted to State for consideration. She noted that they currently have their Community Day School in that area and there have been no problems. Councilwoman Brinley asked how many students are currently in the program. Dr. Lindsey stated that in Continuation School, not counting the Adult Education program, there are a little over 200 students and they are growing. Councilwoman Brinley asked about the Alternative Education program behind the School District Offices. Dr. Lindsey stated that they have over 200 students in the combined programs. She explained that there are approximately 60 students on site at any given time. She noted that they have 140 students participating in the Independent Study School and Home PAGE THIRTEEN - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - JUNE 8,1999 Education program and they spend approximately one to two hours a week at the site. Councilwoman Brinley asked the age of the students. Dr. Lindsey indicated that it includes 7~' to 12"' grades, or ages 12 to 18. Mayor Pro Tem Metze surmised that there are 500 students participating in these programs. Dr. Lindsey concurred, and noted that as the Valley's population grows, within 5 years the student population could be over 20,000. She further noted that the District currently has 15,800 students, and of that population, approximately 7% participate in alternative programs. Mayor Pro Tem Metze questioned the status of their escrow. Dr. Lindsey stated that they are in escrow, however a lot depends on final State approvaL Councilwoman Brinley asked if this was a pilot program that the School District was proposing and asked if there were any other schools located in industrial areas. Dr. Lindsey stated that there are quite a few, and noted that it is not uncommon for School Districts to locate Alternative Education Programs in light industrial or retail areas. She stated that the County does this quite often for their store front school program. Councilwoman Brinley asked if the District had been in touch with any of the other Districts that have their schools located in industrial areas. Dr. Lindsey stated that the staffs of different districts have been in communication, however there has been no problem with the location; and the Lake Elsinore School District has been in an industrial area for the last three years, so this is not a new concept and there has been no problem. Mayor Kelley asked what the square footage of the facility would be. Dr. Lindsey stated that the design has not been done yet, however they are looking at approximately 3 to 4 acres for the Community Day school and approximately 10 acres for the Continuation School. She noted that once the funding is approved, then money would be released for planning. Mayor Kelley asked if this was going to be strictly the school or would the site include warehouse facilities. Dr. Lindsey stated that they would include warehouse facilities adjacent to the Alternative Education Center and between the Continuation Facility. She explained that the legislation enacted in 1996 mandated that any student expelled from a School District was to be provided with Alternative Education. Dr. Lindsey stated that Lalce Elsinore is the first School District in the State to build our own Community Day School. She explained that part of the legislation prevents the District from putting a Community Day School on an existing school campus, which was a major consideration in choosing a site. Mayor Kelley asked if the District would be giving up any of the existing facilities. Dr. Lindsey stated that they would be and would create a savings far the School District. She gave an overview of the savings that the District will experience from having a permanent facility. Mayor Pro Tem Metze noted that in the Environmental Quality Division of the State Code it states that a school cannot be placed where it is reasonably anticipated that hazardous or other materials are going to take place. He PAGE FOURTEEN - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - JUNE 8,1999 stated that being in an industrial zone it is reasonably anticipated that there could be hazardous material. He stressed that when EVMWD doubles the size of the Regional Treatment Plant that will have some effect on the proposed site for the school. There was general discussion regarding the location of facilities near the Regional Treatment Plant and some of the other businesses, and the prohibition by the State regarding the building of facilities. City Attorney Leibold stated that this would become part of the CEQA discovery process, and explained that there is some concern regarding the proximity of hazardous waste to the students and the school facilities. Councilman Schiffner aslced how much property the School District is now occupying that will be given up if a new school facility is built. She stated that they would be giving up all the facilities, however she does not have the square footage available at this time. Councilman Brinley questioned the School District can waive the quarter mile limitation on a business occupying buildings with potential hazardous materials a quarter mile from the school site. She aslced about the new industrial facility that is being built close to the school site. Assistant City Manager Best advised that Carr Patterns is constructing a 90,000 square foot facility at the corner of Minthorn and Chaney. She further advised that there is a parcel for sale that is zoned for industrial uses immediately . adjacent to the property that the School District is proposing to build on. She further explained that Carr Patterns is an aluminum manufacturer of after market automobile accessories and she does not know if their business entails the use of hazardous chemicals, but it is something that she can find out. Councilwoman Brinley stated that the School District should be apprised of the processes that the business will use. She stressed that it is important that all of these issues be addressed to prevent a problem in the future. She again questioned if the District could waive the conditions of the restriction to allow businesses to be placed in the area that might use some type of hazardous material. She made note of a business in the Industrial Park that uses resin and explained that there are times that she can smell the resin at her home which is approximately '/z to 3/4 of a mile away. She questioned the problems that this could cause the school site. City Attorney Leibold explained that the Statutory Provisions require that before a public entity, like the City, can approve a Negative Declaration or certify an Environmental Impact Report, for a use that engages in the handling or use of hazardous materials; the School District must be notified and . involved in the Environmental process and they be provided notice not less than 30 days before the City action. She further explained that it is a notice and participation requirement before the City can allow the use of hazardous materials within'/4 mile of the school. She noted that in this instance the school is coming into existing uses. She clarified that the question is can the City impose a requirement on the District that they waive any objection regarding any expansion or uses. Councilwoman Brinley clarified her PAGE FIFTEEN - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - JUNE 8,1999 question and the reason for posing the question. City Attorney Leibold stated that the City does not have any authority to impose that type of waiver or to require that the School District forfeit the their rights. She explained that the City will have to comply with the EIR process. Mayor Kelley aslced if the School District goes through the CEQA process and they cannot mitigate the environmental problems, what are their legal obligations. City Attorney Leibold explained that the Environmental Review process requires that the entity approving the project evaluate all significant environmental impacts, and if there are significant impacts that can not be mitigated, then the City must deny the project or adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations. She further explained that this means that despite the significant environmental impacts, there are overriding benefits to the proposed project that outweigh the negative impacts and the project can proceed with the approval of the project. Councilwoman Brinley questioned if the current school facility is operating under a Conditional Use Permit. City Manager Watenpaugh explained that the City has absolutely no control nor the right to require a permit of the District. Councilwoman Brinley clarified her concern regarding the development of the Industrial area of the City. Dr. Lindsey clarified the process for getting a school built under the Office of Public School Construction. She explained that they will ask the District to submit an Environmental Impact study. She noted that if they found the sites unsuitable, then they would not fund the District for the purchase of the land, and that would be the next step of the process. Mayor Pro Tem Metze clarified that the only input the City would ever have would be the EIR process. Mayor Kelley called for Council comments. Councilman Schiffner stated that it is a tough situation because there are two agencies involved that both have responsibilities to members of the public, and it appears that the conditions that are in the best interest of each of the agencies do not coincide. He expressed respect and confidence in the School Board and their administrators and indicated if he were in one of their positions, he would be in favor of their project. He noted however, his responsibility is to the City of Lalce Elsinore; and the conditions that have been discussed convince him that this project is not in the best interests of the City of Lalce Elsinore. He stated therefore, he is in opposition to the project. Councilman Pape expressed his support of the School District and indicated that they are doing an excellent job, however he had two concerns: 1) how it impacts the City; and 2) how it will impact the students once they are located at that site. He commented that AQMD has visited different businesses in the area because there have been complaints of odor coming PAGE SIXTEEN - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - JUNE 8,1999 from the manufacturing facilities, which would be right neart door to a proposed school site. He stated that he does not know if that is conducive to placing children in the area. He noted the truck traffic, noise and vibration, as well as some hazardous materials in the Industrial area which he feels would not be a good learning environment for learning. He further noted the impact on the City since the site is located in a prime industrial area, which staff and Council have been working hard to market and promote in the community. He explained that the efforts have been to bring in new businesses and to expand existing businesses, and the District's action would cause the loss of 14 acres of prime industrial area which will be taken off of the property tax rolls, for a loss of taac increment as well as the loss of jobs created by manufacturing and possible retail in that area. He further commented on the student population and suggested that it would have an impact on the property owners and their ability to sell the property. . Councilman Pape stated that it would be difficult for a business to want to locate to where there would be that many students coming and going on a daily basis. He noted that Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District is planning on doubling the size of the existing Sewer Plant and questioned the impact that would have on the proposed site. He further noted that in the staff report regarding Environmental Quality it states "To promote the safety of pupils and comprehensive community planning", and stated that in his opinion the proposed site is contrary to both issues and will limit the City's ability to bring new businesses to that area. He commented that at some point the Council is going to hear from the parents or the students regarding the area. He cited the traffic problems at Temescal Canyon High School and noted that the Council and staff responded to their needs by initiating a Traffic Signal to resolve the traffic problems. Councilman Pape stated that if the school were to go in at Chaney, somewhere down the road the Council would be approached for a crosswalk, stop sign or signal, or to solve problems with noise from neighboring businesses, truck noise and increase in traffic. He noted that he wanted it on record that these problems are anticipated, however the City has no control in dealing with the situation. He respectfully requested that the School District continue their site search and see if they couldn't find a better location for their facility. Mayor Pro Tem Metze concurred with Councilman Pape. He noted that the School District was restricted from helping with the traffic signal at Dexter and Highway 74, because they were not allowed to spend their money in that manner. He noted that everyone knew that there would eventually be a problem with that area, however it was up to the City to solve the problems created by the location of the school. He noted that the proposed school will house 500 children and he feels that it would not be long before the City will be required to install a stop light to facilitate the students crossing the street. He noted that on this Agenda there is an item regarding a problem at one of the schools in the City where the people using the facility are blocking one of the residents' driveways and is preventing access to his property; which illustrates that the City is stuck with the consequences of what happens in those instances. He speculated that a stop light in that area would be the sole responsibility of the City, and the School District would PAGE SEVENTEEN - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - JCJNE 8,1999 not be able to contribute any funds to the cost of construction or maintenance. He noted that the public holds the City responsible for the consequences of the location of school sites. He noted development of industry in the area that has recently occurred and suggested that the limitations a school site would create, would affect jobs and revenue for the City. He stated that he found it difficult to believe that no other sites are available. Mayor Pro Tem Metze stated that the proposed site for the school will eventually cost the taxpayers money if this site is approved and built. He asked that staff stay aware and advised of the project. Councilwoman Brinley concurred with Councilman Schiffner. She noted that she does represent the City and its interests and on behalf of the City she must look at generated sales tax, property tax and potential jobs for the residents. She stated that she has never been in favor of churches or other public service agencies locating in an industrial area because it is not a healthy or safe environment for the children no matter what their age. She noted the traffic problems that will occur in the area as well as hazardous materials present in the area. She noted that the City actively promotes that area for industry and manufacturing items, which is the purpose of the General Plan. She explained that the City was very careful in its design of the General Plan to insure that industry was not placed in an area where schools are located or where there is a large residential area. She stated her concern with the fact that the City will end up with the responsibility of solving traffic and safety issues created by a school being built on that site. She noted that the School District does not assume financial responsibility for the costs related to health and safety and even if the City cannot afford to address the issues, the City is held responsible. She stated that the Council is not against schools and have enjoyed their relationship with the Board and District, however the proposed site for the school will create major problems with traffic as well as the industry that is being promoted in that area. She aslced that the District understand the City's position in regard to this issue. Mayar Kelley stated that her major concern is once the school is built, new businesses that would like to locate in Lake Elsinore would have major factors that they will have to mitigate on their Environmental Impacts, which could hinder growth and development in a prime industrial area. She noted that although the Council does have jurisdiction in regard to this issue, it is noted that the Council is going on record with their concerns of a school being built in an industrial area. She explained that although the Council understands the School District's position, she hopes that they understand the City's position. She stated that Council would encourage the School District to find another location. She noted that the Planning Commission did deny the site for the school as an incompatible use for the area. MOVED BY PAPE, SECONDED BY METZE AND CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE TO ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION AS FOLLOWS: PAGE EIGHTEEN - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - J UNE 8, 1999 PLANNING COMMISSION DETERMINED THAT THE LOCATION OF A SCHOOL IN AN INDUSTRIAL ZONE IS NOT COMPATIBLE WTTH MANLTFACTURING USES AND IS NOT CONSISTENT ~WITH THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE GENERAL PLAN BASED ON THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS: 1, Staff recognizes that additional school sites are needed within the City of Lake Elsinore, however, school uses are not compatible with industrial-manufacturing uses and locating a school in an industrial zone may expose students to noise, vibrations, odors, truck traf~c and hazardous materials that are used in manufacturing process. 2. The location of a school in an industrial zone will reduce the City's limited inventory of land zoned for industrial uses and may create negative economic impacts for the City. 3. The location of a school within an industrial zone may limit the type of activities that can occur on parcels adjacent to the school. Dr. Lindsey stated tkat she appreciates the positive relationship the School District entertains with the City Council and looks forward to continuing that relationship in the future. She noted that when District staff inet with City Manager Watenpaugh and City staff they did request aid in locating another possible site for the school located within the City. 32.

(F:30.1) City Manager stated that the item present is a modification of the budget that was present to the public and Council at the Study Session on May 20, 1999. He gave an overview of the adjustments made to the Budget. He noted that with adjustments to the budget, two of the budgets from the General Fund are revenue positive with revenue projections greater than our expenditures for this Fiscal Year and the Redevelopment Agency Budget revenue positive. He further noted that the Lighting and Landscaping District is revenue neutral and a deficit for the Lake Operations and Campground.

Chris Hyland, 15191 Wavecrest, stated that it was her understanding that the Budget was in the black until the year 2000 and that is when the bonds on the Lake come due in the amount of $1 Million plus Dollars. She noted the lawsuit that the City recently lost in the amount of $2 Million plus Dollars and another lawsuit pending in the amount of $3.5 Million Dollars. She aslced where the City was going to get the money to pay for these items. She stated that in her opinion, thought should be given before so many backroom things are done to cause the lawsuits. She stated that the public deserves to know where the City is going to get the money to pay all these things. City Manager Watenpaugh stated that there is $2.6 Million in the Reserves and that amount is continuing to build. He addressed the lawsuits and stated that the suits will be subject to the appeal process and until that is done, nothing is firm. He noted that the City will continue to operate in a businesslike manner. City Attorney Leibold stated that additional the City has insurance and to a large part the cost of the litigation is covered through the Insurance Autharity. She stated that she does not lcnow of any reason why the Council would assume a particular verdict or outcome of a particular litigation. She indicated when the City operates fiscally responsible there is nothing more to be said. Councilman Pape stated that he met with the City Manager and Assistant City Manager and there was discussion regarding providing fixnds on a project by project basis to assist with Regional EDC and Economic Development efforts. He stated that it was his understanding that it would be in the amount of $10,000. Councilman Schiffner stated that he would support an additional $10,000 if a provision is set that the funds be used only for projects affecting the City of Lalce Elsinore and that the projects be reviewed by the Council priar to the actual expenditures. He further stated that he would like to see another $5,000 placed on the City's EDC Fund. He explained that this is the type of expenditure that the City will see some kind of return for their money. Councilwoman Brinley concurred with Councilmembers Pape and Schiffner. She disagreed with Chris Hyland and stressed the fiscal problems that the Council inherited. She noted the financial plan that the Council has followed and the success they have achieved. She noted that there is a financial light in the tunnel and she is please with the budget this year. She further noted that the parks will be back to 95% of what they were 2 years ago and now the progress will show to the public as well. She stressed that there is still a ways to go, however it is now apparent that the PAGE TWENTY - CITY COiTNCIL MINUTES - JUNE 8,1999 City is on the right track. Mayor Pro Tem Metze stated that this is the best budget he has seen since he has been on the Council. He concurred with the additions suggested by Councilmembers Pape and Schiffner. He stated that he has been out to the City yard on several occasions and the mechanics buildings has needed replacing for the last ten years that he knows o£ He stated that for the last several years the Joint Powers Insurance Authority has requested that the building be replaced and is in favor of City Manager Watenpaugh's suggestion. Mayor Pro Tem Metze challenged Chris Hyland to back-up her "back room deal" theory and show just one time when this Council has done anything that she has alleged. He noted that everything is done at the dais. He stressed that the audience at home and the people that attend the City Council Meetings deserve to see proof. He noted that she discusses lawsuits, however she never mentions the lawsuit that she filed against the City using a developers attorney, that was thrown out of court without prejudice, however the taxpayers still had to pay to defend that lawsuit. Mayor Kelley stated that she supports the Regional EDC on a project by project basis that the staff will review, as well as supporting the local EDC with an additional $5,000. She noted that within the budget the West-End Fire Station is on line; new Police Station facilities are planned; Mission Trail Improvements will be done; there is a Parking Lot for Swick/Matich Field; the Park Maintenance will go to 95%; and Measure "A' money is being sought for Lake Street and Machado Street.

He indicated that Mr. Buclcley and the photographer Mr. Kelsey discussed the use of the green filter in the presence of the Lake Elsinore Marine Search and Rescue representatives and Sgt. Brinksnan. He questioned why Mr. Buckley would do this to the City and its businesses. He indicated that there was no need to manufacture more problems for the community and questioned why it would be presented to the editor as truth. He further indicated that many people were financially injured by the lost revenue. He requested that Mr. Buclcley write a corrected story and own up to the lie he presented on May 29`~'. He suggested writing a story about the hard working business people in the community trying to make the community successful. He stressed the number of hard working people striving to make a positive image for the community. Chris Hyland, 15191 Wavecrest, indicated that in her opinion, Councilman Metze has a very vindictive tongue.

She noted Councilwoman Brinley's comments about being concerned for the student and reminded her of comments on Visions and Views suggesting that students assist in chipping toxic paint off a boat. She noted ~ that. TMC is now the "Town Crroup" and questioned if all of the existing - _. agreements will need to be amended. She also questioned if this would impact the Stadium operation.
