37. City Council Resianation - Mavor Pro Tem Bender. (F:44.1)
Mayor Washburn called upon the persons who requested to
address this issue as follow:
Rick Zwiefel, 101 S. Main street, commented that he will
miss Mr. Bender; and that he seemed to be a very fair man in
regard to his votes affecting the small businessman. He
stated that if Council was going to appoint someone to take
Mr. Bender's place, he felt that it would be best to appoint
the next person in line, that the people voted for being Mr.
Dan Metze. Mr. Zwiefel stated that the local business
people have worked with Mr. Metze and feel that he is a fair
man and they could work well with him.
Peter Dawson, 18010 Grand Avenue, stated that he feels that
the City has lost a very dedicated Councilmember, who will
be missed. He further stated that the election that was
just held was a mandate of the City voters and one factor
was a balance in Council priorities, one person elected was
in strong favor of schools and education; one of the other
candidates campaigned on the Lake and its issues. He
explained that Mayor Pro Tem Bender was a strong supporter
of Lake Issues, and now that he has resigned he asked that
Council consider replacing Mr. Bender with another strong
voice to represent Lake issues.
Mariana Mohylyn, 305 W. Sumner, stated that she appreciated
Dan Bender and wished him well in his future endeavors. She
suggested that there should be a special election.
Mayor Washburn explained that the Government Code directs
Council, within 30 days, to appoint or request a special
election to replace the vacancy. He concurred with Mr.
Dawson that Mayor Pro Tem Bender did a good jOb and did
represent Lake issues. He further explained that the duty
before Council is to accept Mr. Bender's resignation and
then follow through with an appointment. He stated that the
City has just been through an election and it is clearly set
in order with Mr. Dan Metze and Mr. Robert Schiffner. He
pointed out that even the Newspaper has made the suggestion
that an appointment would be in order for the two remaining
years of Mr. Bender's term.

Alan Baldwin was appointed to the council, the Council did
not go back to what the people wanted; when Mr. Fred Crowe
resigned from the City council; when Mrs. Tere Cherveny
resigned from Council the next person in line for votes was
chosen and Council decided to interview and again the next
person in line was not appointed to Council. He noted that
Mrs. Brinley was appointed and now she has won her seat
through the last election and he congratulated her.
Councilman Alongi stated that he feels that Mr. Bender's
resignation is an abandonment and explained that the persons
who run for election are dedicated to the community and
nothing, except emergencies, should interfere with that
representation to the community. He pointed out that Mrs.
Kelley has won her seat and congratulated her. He noted
that Mr. Pape still has two years to serve and worked very
hard for his seat. He explained that he feels that it is
now the four that are going to be seated for the next two
and four years to make the decision and given the ability to
appoint someone who will face the future problems that this
community will be going through. He stated that he did not
feel that this Council was following a precedence of going
back to the list; and suggested that this should be
addressed by the future council. He stated that he felt
that the Mayor was out of line making this decision since he
is not going to be here for future decisions. Councilman
Alongi opposed the Mayor having anything to do with this
decision. He stated that he does not have any opposition to
the incoming Council appointing from the list or even
interviewing and choosing someone else. He stated that for
the last 3-1/2 years there has not been a team and that is
what is needed. He asked that the Mayor have the courage to
allow the new Council to make the decision. He stated that
they could do the job without him.
Councilman Pape stated that since Mayor Pro Tem Bender
informed Council that he was not going to complete his term,
he has spent the last week considering how this should be
addressed. He stated that he has concluded that it does not
make good sense to have another election and he feels that
it should be done by appointment and explained that he feels
it should be one of the next candidates in line. councilman
Pape stated that due to the scheduled study Session for
Council orientation, he feels that the appointment should be
done as soon as possible to facilitate the education of all
the new Councilmembers and not place the appointee one step
behind.
Councilwoman Brinley concurred with Councilman Pape and
stated that having been an appointed official it is
difficult to catch-up with the current Council and she
stated that she felt that the appointment should occur
immediately to allow the appointee to train with the other
Council and this would make it best for everyone. She noted
that had there been four seats Mr. Dan Metze would have been

same time. He stated that the Agenda could be put together
to reflect that action and there will be four members
present with Mrs. Kelley, the new current Council can
appoint at that time and then move forward. He stated that
this would prevent a two week delay. He point out that if
Council follows the vote in the last election, then the
woman who got over 700 votes should be seated in
Councilwoman Brinley's chair. He explained that Council
needs to play the game fair and not when it is available or
to advantage to anyone of the Council play the game a
certain way. Councilman Alongi stated that he thinks that
it is unfair to decide tonight. He pointed out that Mr.
Metze is on Planning Commission and knows what is going on
in the community and Mr. Schiffner has a lot of experience
in the pUblic and Mr. Schiffner is his choice, but if the
other three wish to have Mr. Metze then that is O.K., but
the new Council should choose. Councilman Alongi stated
that this four years will be a lot different than the last
three and a half year were. He explained that he feels
strongly that the new Council seated December 5th, should
choose and appoint as soon as they are sworn in. He stated
that whoever is chosen, either Mr. Metze or Mr. Schiffner
will then come on board since they were very close in vote.
He stressed that his point was to let the Council who is
going to sit with that person do the choosing so that there
is no person to blame but themselves for what happens. He
explained that if he doesn't do the job he is suppose to do,
he can't say he didn't have something to do with the
decision of placing that person there. He concluded that he
hopes that the appointment will be set for December 5th, and
allow Council to get on with Council business.
THE FOREGOXNG KOTXON WAS APPROVED ON A VOTE OF 3 TO 1 WXTH ALONG X

PUBLXC COMMENTS - NON-AGENDXZED XTEKS
Mariana Mohylyn, 305 W. Sumner, questioned the grants discussed,
as well as the 60 acres for a bird preserve that the city is
involved in. She stated that the money should be better spent
for an animal preserve for cats and dogs that are in distress in
the animal shelters. She thanked the Mayor for all his years of
service. She objected to weed and housing abatement.
Jim Hosenfeld, 321 Avenue 11, stated that he had attended a City
Workshop on November 27th, regarding plans for development of low
income housing on Casino Drive between Mill Street and Franklin.
He explained that the project is high density and low income; and
stated that one of the things that does not work is concentrating
the housing, whereas scattering the low income housing within the
community in small amounts creates an impact on low income
housing instead of the low income housing having an impact on the
neighborhood. He asked that the City look into the tax credit
financing and look at their land use policies. He stated that

is boring and commented that in the last 16 years there

to do. They just have to go out and find it. He

made not of the fact that it is not the City's fault,
but rather hers and she should do something about it.
Miss Fester, asked why Railroad Canyon Road was all
built up nice and then torn up for all the road work.
She asked why the pipe work was not done first. Mayor
Washburn stated that the City, through a major project,
was able to improve two miles of roadway. He explained
that the Water District did not have plans to up-grade
the water lines at that time and a few years later
decided to put a water line in the right-of-way, which
they have the right to do, and that caused the road to
be torn up. He noted that EVMWD has assured the City
that the road will be back in good condition when they
are finished.
