Parks and Recreation Manager Davis provided an overview to City Council and introduced
Terri Biancardi with the Sierra Club, Dan York with the City of Wildomar, Colby Diuguid with
the City of Murrieta, Matt Peters with the City of Temecula, and Patrick Johnston with the
National Parks Services. Recreation Manager Davis announced other agencies that
participated in the trail connectivity discussions as follow: Riverside Flood Contorl, Riverside
Regional Park and Open Space District, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the
Army Corps of Engineers.
Patrick Johnston with the National Parks Services stated that he worked with the Rivers Trails
and Conservation Assistance program. He explained that the program provides technical
support for local community based projects. The program operates similar to a grant in that it
requires a formal application from communities and other non - profit organizations. When a
community is awarded technical assistance, someone from the program assists staff in
moving the project forward towards its goals. Mr. Johnston also reviewed the scope of the
project to continue the trail.
Manager Davis provided an overview of staff's recommendation for Council's support to
complete the trial connectivity along the Murrieta Creek.
Council Member Magee stated that he was in support of the trail connectivity. He stated that
KB Homes recently deeded that particular property to the Riverside Land Conservancy which
prohibited access from humans. This was one of the obstacles that the City is going to come
in contact with. Council Member Magee urged staff to work with partners at the Land
Conservancy and KB Home to encouraged them not to do things like this without consulting
with the City.
Ray Addington, Wildomar resident, spoke in favor of the trail. Mr. Addington also thanked
Council for providing recreational opportunities for local citizens and asked Council to
continue providing recreational facilities.
Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Manos, second by Council Member Magee, to adopt Resolution
No. 2014 -022, approving the Murrieta Creek Trail Conceptual Alignment Analysis for use in
developing trail connectivity along the Murrieta Creek.
Council Member Tisdale stated that he was in support of the project and appreciated that the
project would be implemented in pieces.

and method of apportionment of an existing special tax relating to Improvement
Area B of City of Lake Elsinore Community Facilities District No. 2005 -2 (Alberhill
Ranch) subject to an amendment to the Funding, Construction and Acquisition
Agreement that will prioritize use of bond proceeds for Lake Street
improvements.
As an alternative to the Recommended Action, the City Council may:
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2014 -025 A Resolution of Consideration to alter the rate
and method of apportionment of an existing special tax relating to Improvement
Area B of City of Lake Elsinore Community Facilities District No. 2005 -2 (Alberhill

or
3. Deny the petition and do not alter the rate and method of apportionment of an
existing special tax relating to Improvement Area B of City of Lake Elsinore
Community Facilities District No. 2005 -2 (Alberhill Ranch).
Administrative Services Director Simpson provided an overview of the staff report and
recommended alternatives to City Council. Director Simpson stated that Mr. Tom Tomlinson,
representative for Castle and Cooke, has been asked to directly respond to questions posed
by City Council as follows: What is the effect of reducing the special taxes within improvement
Area B on property values within Improvement Area A; and what is the timing of completion of
the public improvements for the development. Mr. Tomlinson should also be fully prepared to
provide clarity regarding the impact of market valuation of properties within the Alberhill Ranch
development by the change in rate and method of apportionment being requested by the
owner. Director Simpson announced that prior to the beginning of the City Council meeting
Mr. Tomlinson submitted a schedule to the City Clerk, which he has not had the opportunity to
review. Mayor Johnson stated that Council also has not had the opportunity to review the
schedule submitted by Mr. Tomlinson. Director Simpson informed Council that the City has
received a newly filed protest letter which stated concerns that the requested special tax
reduction would adversely impact their property values. The City Clerk received an email
concurring with that same letter with additional language that Director Simpson read from
Tony Ponzo into the record.

The following people spoke in opposition of Community Facilities District No. 2005 -2 (Alberhill
Ranch) Improvement Area B: Altering the Rate and method of apportionment of special taxes
to reduce the maximum special taxes: Sharon Gallina and Paulie Tehrani.
Tom Tomlinson with Castle and Cooke stated that he was not familiar with the schedule
presented to Council. He thanked Council for reconsideration of the application for changes
to the rate and method for Area B of CFD 2005 -2. Mr. Tomlinson stated that eight months
ago at a public hearing questions were raised regarding the impact on existing homes that
were sold with a higher Community Facilities District (CFD) tax rates if tax rates are lowered
on new portions of the community. He had never heard of this concern nor had the bond
counsel. Mr. Tomlinson stated that in his research he learned that the higher sales prices of
homes due to lower tax rates actually brings up the value of existing homes regardless of their
tax rate.
Roger Doverspike introduced himself as a real estate appraiser and broker in Temecula. He
has previously appraised properties in the City of Lake Elsinore and for residential developers
throughout the county. Mr. Doverspike stated that he was contacted by Mr. Tomlinson
regarding a tax rate reduction in Alberhill Ranch. Mr. Doverspike provided the schedule that
Council received and was available to answer questions. He provided an overview of the
schedule and explained that as the existing CFD sits the tax rate would be about 2.43% and,
with the proposed tax rate reductions, the CFD Improvement Area B would come down to
1.66 %. The purchasing power for the buyer would change about $29,000 which means a
price today of $323,000 could be up to $352,000 and the buyer would have the same
purchasing power if the price was currently $333,000. Mr. Doverspike also did a linear
regression analysis looking at the rest of Alberhill Ranch and found that property values have
been increasing since 2012 and it appears that the market has already adjusted for that.
Mayor Johnson stated that Council has not had an opportunity to review the schedule.
Tom Tomlinson stated that the proposed change in rate and method will reduced the tax rate
to under 2 %. He explained that the Lake Street improvements would not increase the
number of lanes, however the improvements will provide for curb, sidewalk, and a
straightened street. The negative issue they are trying to overcome is the relocation of 115
kilo watt lines close to the existing homes along Lake Street. Mr. Tomlinson stated that he
would rather invest that money on Nichols Road because it serves the Boys and Girls Club
and a city park.
The following people spoke in opposition of Community Facilities District No. 2005 -2 (Alberhill
Ranch) Improvement Area B: Altering the Rate and method of apportionment of special taxes
to reduce the maximum special taxes: Rebecca Simmons, Peggy Aguirre, Darrell Holder,
Karen Holder, William Neal, Catheryn Brown, Andrew Jones, Gilbert Martinez, Daniel

City Council Meeting Minutes May 13, 2014
Chris Hyland stated that it is vital to widen Lake Street due to the amount of traffic that travels
on that street.
Tom Tomlinson stated that where there are two homes with the same value the one with the
lower tax rate is sold for a considerable higher price. When Castle and Cooke did the original
analysis they were looking at a $30,000 to $36,000 difference in the Alberhill Ranch home
prices without their CFDs. Mr. Tomlinson stated the lower tax rate does not impact the areas
that are already paying higher tax rates in Improvement Area A. It definitely increases the
value of the homes with lower tax rates. He explained that when a neighborhood has a higher
resale value the neighborhood is brought up. The proposed change will effectively reduce
the total tax rate well under 2 %. With the new tax rate the total proceeds from bonds for
Lake Street is approximately $12.3 million. Under the current tax rate the proceeds should be
pushing $30 million for Lake Street. Mr. Tomlinson stated that Castle and Cooke has been
careful to look at the needs of the community such as Nichols Road to connect with Collier
Avenue and, that Castle and Cooke forwarded $2 million for that project. They did that
because they promised the buyers that it would be in soon, however it was not going to be
completed soon according to the Conditions of Approval. He also stated that Nichols Road
between Lake Street and Alberhill Road needs to be improved. Nicholas Road has more
impact needs than Lake Street. They have been trying to work with Southern California
Edison to get the circuit removed. The school district has contacted them about building
Alberhill Ranch school. They are looking at building the school in approximately 3 to 5 years,
but they need a development moving forward. The eight month delay has stopped two
significant areas from being developed.
Council Member Tisdale stated that when he walked through the City the most complaints he
received were from the Alberhill Ranch community. He also has a concern that there are
houses being built throughout the City except Alberhill Ranch.
Council Member Hickman stated that Area A paid for a lot of the infrastructure that Area B will
use. He does not like the tax rate difference between Area A and Area B and stated that they
make both areas the same or they do not move forward with Area B. Council Member
Hickman asked if the money generated from Area B could be used for Area A. Don Hunt, with
Fullbright, responded that the list of improvements can be paid for from various improvement
areas. All the improvements are within the district, so you can use money for the various
projects from any of the three improvement areas. The one constraint under the policy is that
the overall tax rate cannot be higher than 2% at the time the bonds are issued. At the time
the initial improvement area was financed home prices were much higher and they
subsequently fell significantly, so that at the time the bonds were issued for Improvement Area
A it was in compliance with the City's overall 2% maximum tax rate. Mr. Hunt responded that
if those same dollar amounts were applied today to the prices in Improvement Area B that are
projected, it would exceed the City's 2% policy. Mr. Hunt clarified that the improvements that
were financed from each of the improvement areas were a benefit to all three improvement
areas.

City Council Meeting Minutes May 13, 2014
Council Member Magee stated that he listened to the testimony in opposition and in support
of the petition to alter the tax rate. The concerning issue is that the applicant owns the
operation across the street from Area A and the surrounding land and built homes in Area A.
Council Member Magee stated that there is an angry group of homeowners in the community
and a problem with customer service with the homeowners association. He stated that when
a change is being proposed adjacent to a residential area, the first thing that should be
coordinated is public outreach to build trust with the residents. Council Member Magee stated
that the applicant has not made his case for the petition to be approved. Council Member
Magee would rather have the Conditions of Approval for the various tracks come back to City
Council and look at improvements on Nichols Road, bridge improvements in front of Collier
Street; and on and off ramps, there were originally 464 dwelling units. Council Member
Magee stated that he was part of the decision making that moved these improvements back
to a later phase of the residential project and that he errored. The City is currently looking at
building less than 400 homes by the end of this year and is not yet at the orginal threshhold of
464 homes. Council Member Magee reiterated that the applicant has not made their case or
showed that the alteration of the tax rate is a benefit to the community and that it is not a
detriment to the existing residents. He stated that he is not in support of the petition.
Motion by Council Member Magee to deny the petition.
Mayor Pro Tem Manos stated that he has enormous sympathy for the residents in Alberhill
Ranch. He conducts real estate and has listed properties in Alberhill Ranch. The buyers that
are looking for homes in Area A are very sensitive to CFD and Mello -Roos. Residents that live
in Alberhill Ranch are also competing with Menifee, Murrieta, Corona, and Riverside. The
CFDs are onerous and should have not been set that high. Mayor Pro Tem Manos stated that
he does not like Mello -Roos. At the time the CFDs were created they were not very well
disclosed and were a hidden cost of home ownership. When he was elected into office he
promised people that he would work to lower taxes. The City looked at lowering the taxes but
could not do it. Council needs to take an aggressive and intelligent approach in planning the
community. Council also has to examine the manner in which CFDs are implemented,
utilized and ensure that improvements are completed.
Motion by Council Member Magee, second by Council Member Tisdale, to deny the petition
and do not alter the rate and method of apportionment of an existing special tax relating to
Improvement Area B of the City of Lake Elsinore Community Facilities District No. 2005 -2

Management Analyst Dailey provided an overview of the staff report and recommendation
alternatives to City Council.
The following people spoke in favor of the prposed Regional Coordinated Marketing Program:
Karen Holder, Linda Slocum, Michelle Blakel, and Monica Mestas.
Mayor Johnson thanked Council Member Tisdale for his efforts. She stated that Council
Member Tisdale listened to the residents and worked with staff to get cities in the JPA to make
a difference as a region.
Council Member Tisdale thanked Management Analyst Dailey for her work. He commended
the Cities of Murrieta and Temecula and explained that the JPA Members had left over shelter
funds that could be returned to their city. The cities of Murrieta and Temecula contributed
their leftover funds for this program. The Cities of Wildomar and Canyon Lake were going to
present the program to their respective City Councils. Council Member Tisdale stated that all
the cities were willing to participate in the marketing plan. There is a need for a change
because Animal Friends of the Valleys had no support from cities. He also stated that Pitbull
dogs will be included in the program. Animal Friends of the Valleys has agreed to make
positive changes to its newsletter. Council Member Tisdale also announced that he serves on
the City's subcommittee to work with animal control and is available to speak to anyone willing
to work on a solution. It is important to keep animals out of the animal shelter and beneficial
to the City in that, the less animals in the shelter the more money the City can spend on other
causes.
Mayor Pro Tem Manos commended and thanked Council Member Tisdale for working on the
Animal Control Regional Coordinated Marketing Program. Mayor Pro Tem Manos stated that
he especially liked the social networking outreach because it was a cost effective approach to
reach a lot people.
Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Manos, second by Council Member Magee, to adopt the proposed
Regional Coordinated Marketing Program including proposed spay or neuter, micro - chipping
and license fee incentive programs; and Adopt Resolution No. 2014 -021 amending animal
control license fees.

Council Member Hickman stated that the Animal Control Regional Coordinated Marketing
Program was an excellent program. However, there is another group that offers lower fees
and requested that the group also be included in the program. Council Member Hickman
stated that he was in support of the marketing program.
Council Member Magee asked what the neighboring cities to the south and east have done.
Management Analyst Dailey responded that she currently did not have that information.
Council Member Magee stated that he hoped that the other cities were participating in the
program.
Council Member Tisdale acknowledged Management Analyst Dailey for putting together the
marketing program and collaborating with other cities. Management Analyst Dailey stated that
the cities of Canyon Lake and Wildomar are planning to participate in the Animal Control
Regional Coordinated Marketing Program as far as helping with outreach, however they were
not certain if they'll put in funds to have the free programs that would affect their individual
residents.

Council Member Magee announced that the fee schedule distributed to Council regarding
CFD 2005 -2 was available for the public to view. He spoke regarding Fish and Wildlife saying
"No" to a lot of things and not enforcing their own rules and regulations. Council Member
Magee asked that the City invoice Fish and Wildlife for City staff time or issue them a Notice
of Violation for not enforcing their own regulations. He also asked that a line item be added to
the budget for the City to assist homeowners with repairs to their community mailboxes. He
stated that CalTrans has started an initial project study report for safety improvements at the
intersection of Highway 74 and Gunnerson Street. The Lake Elsinore San Jacinto Watershed
Authority (LESJWA) is responsible for carrying the water quality in Canyon Lake and Lake
Elsinore in the San Jacinto river and is exhausting funds; yet, the responsibility to provide
clean and healthy water is determined by state regulatory authorities. Council Member
Magee asked that LESJWA fold under the umbrella of WRCOG (Western Riverside Council of
Governments). He also asked to initiate an environmental review and set aside money for an
east -west roadway extension from Romoland to Lake Elsinore. As the City's representative
on the Riverside County Transportation Commission he will oppose that extension. Council
Member Magee stated that if the fire station in the the City of Canyon Lake closes this fiscal
year, the City of Lake Elsinore will invoice them every time Fire Station 94 responds to a call
from Canyon Lake. The City of Lake Elsinore needs to move forward with an amendment to
the agreement with Fire Station 94. Council Member Magee announced the City lost a hero,
Eike Hohenadl, and he would be missed.
