Resolution No. 95-55. (F:163.1)
City Manager Molendyk explained this item.
David Fahrion, representing CR & R, noted prior City Council
discussions of this matter and indicated with reassurances
from the Council that this action could occur, they have
resumed service to the entire community. He advised that
last year 451 bills were placed on the tax bills and this
year there are currently over 900 to which this would apply.
He indicated taht the residents have until July 31st to
resolve outstanding bills and avoid placement on the tax
rolls. He also indicated that on many of those bills it
will be a total of 18 to 24 months before payment is
received.
Councilman Pape inquired how much correspondence has
occurred with residents who are delinquent in payments. Mr.
Fahrion indicated that they receive four quarterly invoices,
four delinquency notices and a notice of this meeting; for
most people this equates to between three and nine notices.
Councilwoman Brinley questioned how many of the 900 are
repeat delinquencies from last year. Mr. Fahrion indicated
that the 451 from last year could not be delinquent at this
point, because they were billed in advance for this year and
will resume regular payment this year. He indicated that
they will track those 451 to determine how many continue to
have delinquent bills.
Mayor Pro Tem Bender noted that last year he requested a
grace period for the residents and thanked Mr. Fahrion for
that consideration. He stressed that this is now the second
year for this type of action and most residents should be
aware of the process. He questioned the potential that a 90
day delinquency might still be within the same billing
period. Mr. Fahrion clarified the billing schedule and
noted that even those bills due in April of this year are
now 120 days delinquent.
Mayor Washburn noted changes to this process to only address
residential properties and the requiremnet that the service
be obtained by the property owner.
Mayor Washburn opened the public hearing at 7:21 p.m. aSking
those persons interested in this item to speak. The
following person spoke:
Thomas Hundshamer, 805 W. Broadway, noted that he recently
was informed that leased property within the City must be
contracted for trash service by the owner. He expressed
concern with being required to go to CR & R and contract
service for each new tenant. Mr. Fahrion clarified that the
property owner would only need to contract for services

Mayor Pro Tem Bender commended the Planning Commission for
their work on this item and indicated that he feels they
have developed a good product and project. He expressed
concern for the left turn lane exit and noted discussion in
the report of a 480 vehicle count. He questioned the
current traffic count. Public Services Director Tecca
indicated that he did not have the current count, but noted
that the left turn pocket is designed for the ultimate
buildout of that area. He indicated that he believes the
current traffic count is about half of that ultimate number.

Mayor Pro Tem Bender commended the Unocal representatives on
their "cup Handbook" and questioned the portion regarding
the beer and wine permit. He expressed concern that the 5
foot from the door coolers might be easy targets for "grab
and run" incidents.
Ray Benboali, representing Unocal, indicated that beer and
wine is a small portion of their business. Mayor Pro Tem
Bender stresssed his concern for coolers within five feet of
the doors and suggested that there be no coolers in that
area. Mr. Benboali indicated that the proposed floor plan
is designed with the coolers away from the doors.
Mayor Pro Tem Bender commended Unocal on their policy
preventing sales of single cans.
Councilwoman Brinley questioned the employee hours during
which only 21 year olds would be allowed to work. Mr.
Benboali clarified that during other hours 18 year olds are
allowed to sell alcohol. City Manager Molendyk noted that
this will be a company run station, rather than a franchised
operation. Councilwoman Brinley requested that this be --
revised to allow only 21 year olds to sell alcoholic
beverages.
Councilwoman Brinley supported Planning Commission's
inclusion of the Handbook as a condition of the project and
requested confirmation that the graffiti removal program
would act within 72 hours. Mr. Benboali confirmed the 72
hour response and stressed their concern for quality
control.
Councilwoman Brinley questioned the size of the proposed
monument signs. Community Development Director Leslie
indicated that they have not yet submitted the final sign
program, however a monument sign is proposed at Railroad
Canyon Road and Grape Street. He further indicated that it
can be no taller than six feet unless it is on a berm. He
also indicated that a pole sign is proposed at the opposite
end of this project; in addition to the electronic sign
previously discussed.
Mayor Pro Tem Bender requested an explanation of the layout
