52. Request for Grand Jury Investigation.
Mr. Trevino reported that occurrences over the past few weeks have raised
questions regarding access to City files. Subsequent to a Council directive to
make keys to all offices in City Hall available, it was discovered that some
files were examined over the weekend when no city personnel were present. Some
Department heads have expressed concern over possible liability for files in
their custody which are examined when they are not present and without their
knowledge. Mr. Trevino urged Council to consider this request for an investiga-
tion for the over-all good of the community and the removal of doubt.
Discussion
Lengthy Council discussion followed with individual viewpoints expressed.
Attorney Harper stated there are two issues involved, one of access to
records and the other is the integrity of those records. He reviewed and
re-stated the legal opinion on this matter as well as liability involved.
Mr. Harper emphasized that a Councilman, acting as an individual, is governed
by the same restrictions on access to public records as is any member of the
publ ic at 1 arge. In a City Manager form of government, personnel records
are normally not available for individual Councilmen to review.

56. Proposal ,of a Credit Bureau.
Jo Barrick reported that the City of Lake Elsinore currently has no arrangement
with a credit bureau to collect delinquent bills and bad checks. Internal
techniques have proved successful only when the persons are locatable.
Cardinal Credit Bureau has been collecting for cities in this area for some
time. This agency is offering a 40% charge for collection which increases to
50% only if legal action is required. This would allow the City to recover
50% to 60% of otherwise uncollectable dollars.
Staff recommends approval of the proposal of Cardinal Credit Bureau to act as
collection agent for the City of Lake Elsinore.
MOVED BY KNIGHT, SECONDED BY MATSON TO APPROVE PROPOSAL OF CARDINAL CREDIT
BUREAU TO ACT AS COLLECTION AGENCY FOR THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE.
Council discussion followed. It was suggested that a background investigation
be conducted on Cardinal Credit Bureau assuring that this is a reputable fir~.
Also, Section 17 of the proposal should state a definite time for providing
annual audit information regarding Cardinal Credit Bureau, not, as presently
stated, 'vJithin a reasonable time '.

of City barricades, as well as the balance of funds the City has allocated
per agreement, $6,750.00, which represents the entire balance due this

ditions:

ADJOURN TO EXECUTIVE SESSION TO CONFER ON THIS MATTER, DUE TO POSSIBLE
LITIGATION, AT 9:36 P.M.
COUNCIL RECONVENED AT 10:00 P.M.
...
Attorney John Harper reported that at the request of Council, the District
Attorney's Office was asked to review any potential conflict of interest
under Government Code Section 1090 which prohibits any Council member from
being financially interested in any contract with the City, as well as
the City Attorney. The District Attorney determined there was no criminal
violation with regard to either question. In his opinion however, he did
feel a potential conflict did exist in bot~ cases. There is no risk involved
for the City of Lake Elsinore or for the Clty Counci1members. The risk lies
with the Underwriter of the bond issue. This opinion will be disclosed in
the prospectus at the time of sale of the bonds and would potentially have
some affect on the saleability of the bonds.

REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Stori ng of Excess Wa ter - EVr~WD Super Well
Mr. Vermillion expressed concern over the excess amount of water being pumped
and stored by EVMWD, over and above the amount needed for regular use: He
suggested some action be taken by the City to restrain them from doing this.
Mr. Harper recommended the matter be turned over to the City Attorney for
review since this could involve litigation. Mr. Nazarek could meet with the
Water District Attorney and discuss their feelings regarding liability and
bring information back to the next meeting in Executive Session.

2. Addition of City Clerk's Office to Lake Elsinore Municipal Code.

Book outlining the duties of the City Clerk or the City Treasurer, the City
Attorney was directed to prepare ordinances for these two positions to be
brought back for Council review.

the Mayor and City Council, it normally is distributed to the Mayor first,
then she directs staff to copy and distribute to Councilmembers. Mayor
Valenzuela stated this policy should be continued. She also requested that
when individual members of the Council receive letters or reports which are
of interest, these should be copied and distributed to all. Also, in the
case of the Mayor's absence, the Mayor Pro Tern should act for the Mayor in
handling of mail.

Mr. Vermillion recommended we investigate the possibility of transferring
our City Water Department to Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District and
the City get out of the water business. Mayor Valenzuela recommended this
issue be turned over to staff for follow-up. Mr. Vermillion suggested
this transfer should involve both Water Districts.
Mr. Knight reported that chlorine which has been used for many years for
purification of drinking water, has raised concerns regarding the possibility
that it could be cancer-causing. There is a new chlorination process that
is being used and Mr. Knight questioned if and when this new process could
be used for water from the new well. He asked staff to follow-up.
