15) ID# 14 -528 Public Hearing for Consideration Of Objections To The City's Weed
Abatement Program
Attachments: Staff Report 2015 Objections to Weed Abatement
Weed Abatement Public Hearing notice
It is recommended thatthe City Council open the Public Hearing and consider
objections to the City's weed abatement program.
Public Works Director Damasse provided an overview of the staff report and stated that weed
and rubbish abatement is a necessary function of the City. In February 2015, the City
adopted a Resolution declaring weeds and rubbish as nuisance. The residents were sent
notices and have until early May to abate the nuisance. Thereafter, City staff would intervene
to abate the property based on the City's municipal code.
Greg Smith, Wildomar resident, stated that he is a weed abatement contractor and spoke in
opposition of the City's Weed Abatement Program. He stated that mowing is dangerous
because it has the potential to ignite fire. Mr. Smith explained that discing is efficient and the
safest method because it just cuts into the earth and turns it over. If people are going to stop
discing then they need to be notified to stop fertilizing, using pesticides and washing cars in
the street because that water goes into the same water ways as the silt from discing. Mr.
Smith also spoke regarding time constraints that have been set for weed abatement and
stated the deadline for weed abatement should be moved back by one month, so that it is
ahead of the fire season. He is concerned that property owners who have complied with the
weed abatement deadline in May could possibly be required to clear their property a second
time and have to once again clear their property.
City of Lake Elsinore Page 12
City Council Meeting Minutes April 14, 2015
James Reynolds, Lake Elsinore property owner, stated that due to the rocky nature of the
land, the best thing to do is to plow it. Mr. Reynolds stated he was informed that plowing was
not working anymore and asked if that information was correct. Mr. Reynolds asked if there
was consideration for property owners that owned rocky land because it becomes prohibitive
to comply with the new requirement. He also asked if there was a variance procedure to
continue to plow. If so, is there an extension for compliance. Mr. Reynolds stated that he
wants to comply, but needs to comply in a reasonable manner.
No other public comments were received. Mayor Manos closed the Public Hear at 7:56 p.m.
Council Member Hickman asked why discing is not being allowed and who initiated the
change. Public Works Director Damasse responded it was a NPDES (National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System) issue. Director Damasse explained the pros and cons of
discing or plowing and that either one can be a fire hazard. The reason that mowing is a
better alternative is because the NPDES TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) issues of silt
runoff and dust suppression. The City has received complaints from AQMD and residents
about silt runoff during the rainy season. Director Damasse stated the change is mainly to
protect the Lake but much of the change has to do with the fire season. Director Damasse
stated that disallowing discing was to abate the TMDL runoff silt erosion issues to the Lake.
The City has received concerns from AQMD regarding dust suppression when discing and
TMDL concerns because of the Lake and that is why mowing was preferred as opposed to
discing. Director Damasse stated that there is not a formal variance procedure in the
municipal code, but staff will entertain variances for extraneous circumstances. Director
Damasse and Staff will work with property owners and provide extensions and help them with
the specific conditions of their lots. Council Member Hickman stated that he did not agree
with prohibiting discing because if you do mow there is still growth and that is a fire hazard.
Council Member Johnson asked for clarification of the AQMD and TMDL regulations. Public
Works Director Damasse responded there is no written documentation. He explained that in
the past City residents have contacted AQMD and the City to express concerns about the
dust abatement and TMDL is runoff from any development that needs to be contained and
treated on site before it goes into the lake.
Mayor Pro Tern Tisdale asked why the City all of a sudden made changes to the rules this
year. City Manager Yates responded in the affirmative. Mayor Pro Tem Tisdale staled that
he did not feel this was a good change. He stated that a year ago the Fire Chief from
Murrieta was hit in the face while watching weed abatement (mowing). The incident ended
the Fire Chiefs career. Mayor Pro Tern Tisdale stated that staff is not providing any hard
facts only history and complaints. The City does need weed abatement, so the City can have
a nice appearance, but he wants to ensure that residents receive enough warning when
changes are going to be made. Mayor Pro Tern Tisdale stated that he would not approve this
item unless he had hard facts.

Council Member Magee stated that the City has invested a lot of money in new tractors with
disc attachments and asked Public Works Director Damasse what his plan was. Director
Damasse responded staff will use the equipment as needed to abate properties. Director
Damasse explained that staff preferred that property owners mow and that it is not the only
method, there are conditions that do require discing. Council Member Magee stated that
AQMD had issues with dust going into the air when the City is performing a public safety
measure called weed abatement. He stated that City of Wildomar's Mayor Benoit is this City's
representative on the South Coast Air Quality District and asked if Mayor Benoit was made
aware of this change in policy. He added that the City cannot change policy if it does not take
advantage of its partnerships. Council Member Magee stated that he is the Chairman of the
Lake Elsinore San Jacinto Water Shed Authority and that he was not aware of the change to
the Weed Abatement Program. Council Member Magee asked City Attorney Leibold how to
disregard this portion of the recommendation, move forward and allow people to use best
management practices, which includes discing.
City Attorney Leibold asked how the policy change was conveyed to property owners.
Director Damasse responded the abatement change was conveyed as part of the notification
to the residents. Council Member Magee addressed Mr. Smith's comment regarding property
owners that comply with weed abatement and are then subject to a fine because the material
has grown back. He stated that property owners can remedy that issue by photographing
their weed abatement work and sending it to staff, so that compliance is verified. Council
Member Magee stated that Council needs to be united to make weed abatement as easy as
possible for the property owners. The City needs to reach out to its AQMD representative,
and that he would inform the Lake Elsinore San Jancinto Water Authority on this matter.
Mayor Manos agreed with Council Member Magee and made the recommendation that the
City provide an automatic one month extension.
Council Member Johnson asked City Attorney Leibold for her assistance with the
recommendation because Council was not in support of this change in policy. City Attorney
Leibold responded the purpose of the Public Hearing was to hear objections. City Attorney
Leibold explained Council can take an action to allow for weed abatement in whatever fashion
is appropriate for the site; take an action not to enforce the preference for mowing or
prohibition against discing; Council can also encourage people to mitigate dust as best as
they can during the weed abatement action; or provide an automatic extension. The question
is to the extent that the City has notified property owners. City Attorney Leibold asked if
Council wants to take further action or provide a supplemental notice which may cause
additional confusion and costs. The Council can take action and direct staff and respond to
inquiries as directed by Council.

Mayor Pro Tom Tisdale stated that he was not happy that the rules were change all of a
sudden.
Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Tisdale, second by Council Member Johnson, to bring back the
Weed Abatement Program with all the correct facts and re- notice, if it is required.
Council Member Magee stated that he would support the motion. Council Member Magee
asked that in the interim, direction be provided to Code Enforcement not to enforce on the
anti - discing notice and post on the City's website a notification that Council is reviewing the
change to allow discing.
Council Member Johnson stated that staff also needs to address waiving fees and additional
cost for re- noticing before this item is brought back to Council.
City Attorney Leibold explained the recommendation was to open the Public Hearing and
consider objections and Council has done that. Attorney Leibold explained that Council can
move forward with the direction to staff to re- notice all the property owners and clarify the
methodology and timeframe by which they abate their property. Council can also require that
the City encourage property owners, who obey the abatement, to submit a confirmation to the
City. Attorney Leibold stated that it would not require Council to go through a new Public
Hearing which allowed for objections and result in a delay, such that the City would be in fire
season by then.
Mayor Manes stated that Council wants to provide direction and take action to notify the
people, provide an extension, open it up for discing again and make a change to the policy
that was approved in February.
City Manager Yates stated that the policy could be brought back to Council; send out the
notice to every property owner advising that the City is going to be allowing the previous weed
abatement process; and provide an extension for those properties that contact the City and
work with property owners. Staff will have to be mindful of the fees and fines. The goal is to
meet the public safety standard to reduce fire hazards before the City moves into the fire
season. City Manager Yates stated that staff will look at the entire weed abatement program
and bring it back with a complete report that includes recommenations, addresses all the
issues of how the City conducts business; how the City needs to conduct business as it
moves forward; and include what pieces of equipment the City owns. City Manager Yates
stated that a notice can be provided to all the property owners with information of what action
was taken at this meeting. Lastly, if the abatement deadline is extended to the end of May it
would provide property owners 6 to 7 weeks to meet our goals.

Mayor Pro Tem Tisdale clarified that the action was that Council opened the Public Hearing
and considered the objection to the City's Weed Abatement Program. He asked if there was
no other action other than the Public Hearing. City Attorney Leibold responded in the
affirmative and stated that the pending motion and second to deny is not applicable in this
context. Mayor Pro Tem Tisdale stated this item does not need to come back. It is the entire
policy and what the City is doing with the Weed Abatement Program that needs to come back
to Council. He stated that he is really ticked off that they are in the weeds on this item. Mayor
Pro Tem Tisdale withdrew his motion.
Motion by Council Member Magee, second by Mayor Manos, to close the Public Hearing;
affirm that Council has considered the objections to the Weed Abatement ordinance, direct
Code Enforcement not to enforcement on the anti - discing notice, post on the City's website
information about tonight's meeting specifically regarding discing so that people can observe
it; direct staff to re- notice the property owners in the change of policy, and allow up to 30
additional days to comply with the City's requirements.
Mayor Pro Tem Tisdale stated that he would like to the see the policy before re- noticing
property owners of the change of policy.
Council Member Magee clarified with Mayo Pro Tem Tisdale that Item No. 5 which directs
staff to change the policy in writing is to come back to Council, but the remainder of the
motion is to go forward. Mayor Pro Tem Tisdale responded in the affirmative. Council
Member Magee stated that he was in agreement.
City Attorney Leibold asked for clarification that staff will not be sending new notices until after
next City Council of April 28th, Mayor Pro Tem Tisdale stated that Council needs the facts
straight before sending out any notices.

Administrative Services Director Simpson provided an overview of the staff report and
recommendation to Council. Director Simpson explained the City Council and PFA
resolutions are to authorize documents and approvals needed to refund the outstanding
obligations of CFD 88 -3. There is approximately $13,000,000 million of bonds outstanding.
The cost was reduced because fees were not taken from the previous refunding to help
facilitate further savings to the homeowners. Director Simpson stated staff believes the debt
service can be reduced by $300,000 per year for the next five years. He explained the
assurity bond provides a savings to the property owners of $135 - $140 reduction on the
annual levy for the next five (5) years starting with the next set of tax bills. The entire savings
will go the property owners.

17) ID# 14 -530 First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance No. 2015 1335
Regarding Public Skate Park Facilities
Attachments: Staff Report - First Reading of Skatepark Facilities Ordinance
Ordinance No 2015 - Ch 8 42 - Public Skate Park Facilities
Draft
It is recommended that the City Council waive further reading and introduce by
title only Ordinance No. 2015.1335, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING CHAPTER 8.42 OF THE
LAKE ELSINORE MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING PUBLIC SKATE PARK
FACILITIES.
Management Analyst Dailey provided an overview of the staff report and recommendation to
Council. Management Analyst Dailey explained the introduction of the ordinance is to
address the City's public skate park facilities. The City does not currently have an ordinance
in place for the skate parks. It is necessary to put in place a comprehensive set of rules and
regulations that will address all skates parks in the City. Management Analyst Dailey
reviewed the items included in the ordinance and stated the ordinance will put rules in place
at the skate parks. The parks will post signage that includes the City's municipal code. The
new ordinance will also put the City in alignment with the California Health and Safety Code
and enables the City to reduce liability. She advised Council that the Public Safety Advisory
Commission reviewed the ordinance twice before it was presented to Council.
Mayor Pro Tem Tisdale asked why the ordinance requires all children under 12 years of age
must be accompanied by an adult. Management Analyst Dailey responded that the state
mandate requires 14 years of age and staff can change the age to 14. Mayor Pro Tem
Tisdale stated that he does not want to include a requirement that is not going to be enforced
and restrictions from children playing. Management Analyst Dailey stated that she can work
with the City Attorney to discuss what options the City has.
City Manager Yates stated the City can accomplish the same goal by signage and work with
the City Attorney's office to include a disclaimer on the signage. Staff is requesting authority
to work with City Attorney's office and modify the age requirement to ensure that the City
meets its goal to have the Serenity Park, McVicker Park, and Summerly Park operational.
Mayor Pro Tem Tisdale referenced ordinance requirement 8.42.030 E and asked if the use of
BMX bikes was standard at all skate parks. Management Analyst Dailey responded that BMX
bikes are allowed at McVicker Canyon Park. Mayor Pro Tem Tisdale wants the ordinance to
be very clear on what equipment is allowed at the skate parks and have the appropriate
signage.
Mayor Manos thanked Management Analyst Dailey for her work on this project.
Council Member Magee recognized the PSAC (Public Safety Advisory Commission) for their
input and Management Analyst Dailey for working with PSAC.

PUBLIC COMMENTS
Autumn Crawford, Lake Elsinore resident, provided an update of the fund raiser for the
automated external defibrillator (AED). The Lake Elsinore PTSA proposal is to install an AED
at every school in the district before the next school year. Ms. Crawford reported the PTSA
has raised $6,000 of their goal to raise $45,000. The Lake Elsinore Unified School District
accepted a bid from the American Heart Association to lower the bid goal to $35,000 and the
American Medical Response ambulance service donated an AED. The PTSA is waiting to
receive funds from their a -waste event. Ms. Crawford asked Council to make a formal
donation to their program. She stated that the Cities of Murrieta and Temecula funded the
entire AED programs for their school districts. She announced they have a donation website
at www.gofundme.com /lepsteaedfund but the site will not be published until they receive $500
in donations. Council Member Johnson asked if the schools distributed donation letters. Ms.
Crawford responded in the affirmative and stated that they are sending out a second round of
donations letter and are in the process of organizing a pancake breakfast with the Elks Club.
Ms. Crawford thanked Council and staff for their assistance. Mayor Manos asked if the
school district has contributed any funds. Ms Crawford responded that the school district will
donate $5,000 if they can raise $30,000.
