(F:150.2)
Chris Hyland, 15181 Wavecrest, questioned why special meetings
are being held at 2 and 4 p.m. in the afternoon. She further
questioned why a special meeting was called when the Planning
Commission was not in favor of the changes proposed by Oak
Grove Equities. She noted that fier understanding was that
staff also recommended no change.
City Planner Y,eslie noted ~he staff report and detailed the
modifications proposed. He showed that the retaining wall
would be set back 21 feet rather than 30 feet; the wall is
also proposed to be shortened from 130 feet down to 80 feet.
The curb wall would be increased by 50 feet.
PAGE TWO - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINIITES - JANIIARY 6~ 1994
Chairman Winkler questioned the height of the wall. Mr.
Leslie indicated that the wall starts at about 14 feet and
goes to the highest point of about 25 feet. He indicated that
this would make the wall approximately the same height on both
sides of the entrance.
Chairman Winkler indicated that he was against the first
modification because it limited the view for traffic too much.
He commented that this design appeared to be more uniform and
indicated that he felt it would look better. He also
commented that the Planning Commission didn't really vote on
this matter at the Study Session, but they had similar
concerns to his own. He further indicated that the concerns
on the prior design did not apply to this design.
MOVED BY WINKLER, SECONDED BY DOMINGUEZ TO APPROVE THE
MODIFICATIONS AS PRESENTED.
Boardmember Alongi indicated that any modification in any
development has to go to the Planning Commission. He stressed
that it is not the procedure to come to the Council at a
special meeting. He indicated that the discussion was missinq
the comparison between what was previously reviewed and this
proposal. He expressed concern with raising the curb wall up
and indicated that the vehicles will all ingress and egress at
an angle. He stressed the traffic flows that will be in the
area and the limited site distances. He commented on the
moving of dirt to the ball field. He indicated that it is
difficult to visualize these changes if you are not a builder.
Ae indicated that these are big changes and they are not good
changes. He further indicated that it was necessary to
address the related costs. He stressed that the costs should
have been analyzed up front instead of now.

purchase of excess land for the Stadium. He e~cp
this clarification would constitute the option payments and
memorialize the agreements reached with the Lehr Family.
Boardmember Alongi inquired whether the property for the
overflow parking would require a 404 permit. Mr. Young
indicated that it would not, as the property is outside the
jurisdiction of the Army Corps of Engineers. Boardmember
Alongi further inquired why the aqreement had been changed to
waive the requirement that the City purchase equal amounts
above and below 1260' elevation. Mr. Young indicated that it
was the Lehr Family's effort to reduce the amount of land the
City would be required to acquire.

a. Parkinq Lot Liqhtinq & Decorative Plaza Lighting -
Creative Lightinq, Inc.
PAGE TFTO - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINIITE~ - JANQARY l0e 1994
Project Manager Young explained this item noting that the
Decora~ive Plaza Lighting surrounds the building with
laghts in the same theme used in the downtown area. He
noted that three bids were received with the low bid from
Creative Lighting, Lnc., in the amount of $148,OOOo
approximately $25,000 to $27,000 below the estimate.
Boarclmember Alongi inquired whetrier contractor requesting
information on projects to be bid were receiving the
information requested. He noted letters sen~ to Birtcher
Construction and to Young Investment Group requestinq
such notification. He further noted that one such
individual was informed last Friday that he would need to
submit bids by this Monday. Mr. Young advised that he
had personally spoken by phone with one of those
individuals several times. FIe clarified triat Birtcher,
Savello and Young Investment Group have received in
excess of 200 calls requesting this information and all
are informed of their responsibility to track the
projects bidding through the Green Sheet and local
newspapers. He stressed the importance of sub-
contractors staying in touch with the prime contractors
who are bidding the projectso
Boardmember Alongi expressed concern ~hat if ~he
contractors have taken the time to write letters
requesting this information that there is an obligation
to do so. %Ie guestioned the potential for problems such
as have been previously experienced with protests for
inadequate informafion. Mr. Young indicated that there
had been no such protests to date, however, he was not
certain if such requests had been forwarded to the prime
bidding contractors. He stressed that if contrac~ors do
not check the Green Sheet and the local newspapers, they
will not be aware of the bidding schedules.
Boarcimember Washburn inquired whether the process was
£air and equitable. Nlr. Young indicated that it is, if
the contractors read the appropriate media to receive the
informatione
City Manager Molendyk suggested that the Board receive
information on all of the contracts presented and discuss
~he project totals prior ~o taking final action.
b. Wrouqht Iron Fenoincp - Sturqeon General.
1Kr, 3Coung that three good bids were receivecl on this
project with the low being $89,990 from Sturgeon Generai.
He indicated tfiat this was just under, but very near the
estimated budget.
c. &andscape & Erriqation ~ YKariposa ~orticulturag
Enterprise, Inc, '
Mr. xoung indicatecl that the bid from flKariposa
Iiorticultural Enterprise, Ync. was in the amount of
$328,775, substantially under the estimate of $450,000.
d. Plumbing - Don Brandel Plumbinq, Inc.
Mre Xoung indicated that the bid from Don Brandel
PAGE THREB - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - JANIIARY 10~ 1994
Plumbing, Inc. was in the amount of $370,900,
approximately $5,000 under the estimate of $375,000.
Boardmember Alongi questioned which work this would
include. Mr. Young indicated that it is from the stub-
outs, with the connections and finish work.
e. Fire Protection - Grinnel Fire Protection.
Mr. Younq indicated that the Grinnel Fire Protection was
in the amount of $60,835; below the estimate of $95,000.
f. HVAC - Circulating Afr, Inc.
Mr. Young indicated that this was the first bid involving
major problems. He indicated that the estimate had been
approximately $300,000, however the low bid came in from
Circulating Air, Ync., in the amount of $609,000. He
explained that part of this difference was the increased
concourse area required by the agreement with the
baseball team. He further explained that this has nearly
doubled the size to be considered and also impacts the
Electrical bids received this date. Boardmember Alongi
inquired what the Alternative noted in the staff report
involves. Mr. Morgan, Birtcher Construction, indicated
that this alternate is for use of standard time clocks
instead of a computerized energy management system. Mr.
Young clarified the purpose of alternates to allow for
the base bid requirements as well as flexibility in the
final project and costs.
g. Buildinq Electrical & Field Liqhting - Creative Lighting,
Inc.
Mr. Young indicated that this was also a problem area for
bidding. He noted that by coincidence, the low bidder
Creative Lighting also received the contract for the
Parking Lot lighting. He indicated that the alternate
noted was for the inclusion of Concert power. He advised
that while the estimate for this portion was $670,000,
the low bid came in at $1,274,000. He indicated that a
particular problem had been anticipating the scoreboard,
which appears to require excessive additional power. He
stressed the impact of the scoreboard, the additional
HVAC items and their impact of the amperage required.
Boardmember Alongi questioned the scoreboard. Mr. Young
indicated that the City will need to work with the
Baseball team to define the scoreboard and its uses.
Boardmember Alongi questioned the increased cost per year
the scoreboard would generate, and whether the team would
participate in that cost. Executive Director Molendyk
indicated they would not participate in the cost, except
for the cost of the scoreboard itself. Mr. Molendyk
noted that based on current knowledge the project is $1
million off.
Boardmember Alongi expressed concern that the overall
project is $1 million over budget.
Chairman Winkler questioned how much over budget this
PAGE FOUR - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MIN[iTES - JANQARY 10, 1994
item is. Mr. Young indicated that it was approximately
$600,000 over the estimate.
h. Cl~ang~ Order #S - Doors, Frames ~ Hardware ~ Weaver
Construc~ion.
Mr. Young indicated ~hat this change order in the amount
of $9,401 was due to unanticipated items such as panic
doors in cer~ain locafions.
i. Chanqe Order #~ °[Tnderqround Plumbinq - S.Nt. Farnan.
Mr. Young advised that this change order for $21,000,
involved additional items shifted from the overall
plumbing to underground. He reminded the Board or
previous efforts to do as much of the overall plumbing as
possible through this contract.
j. CY-anqe order #2 - Suildinq Concrete - Bome1 Constsuctioao
Mr. Young aclvised that this change order in the amount of
$82,457, was the result of changes made by the structural
engineer from HNTBo
k. Chanqe Order #1 - Masonry & Reinforcemeat - Guth ~uildinc~
Corporatioa,
Mr. Young indicated that this change order for $24,000,
was for site work, such as the half wall around the
Stadium Club and portions of the promenade.
1. chanqa Osder #2 - gnderqround Electrical - Cseative
%,igY-ting, %nce
Mr. Young advised that this change order was in the
amount of $22,000.
Mr< Young remindecl the Board that the original
appropriation for this project was $14.6 million; and
noted that the total project has reached a point where
addi~ional alloca~ions will be needed. Executive
Director Molendyk further commented that his
authorization was originally $14.6 million, and since
that time the ~oard has authorized and additional
$450,000 of assis~ance to f.he concessionaire. Mr.
Molendyk requested clarification that the Concert Power
portion of the Electrical bid was being recommended for
acceptance, notiatg tfiat concerts will be necessary. Mr.
Molendyk apologized for the lateness of the material for
this meeting, but noted that he would estimate that ara
additional $1 million would need to authorized for this
project. He suggested that the most likely resource
would be from the General Fund Reserves.
Chairman i+Tinkler inquired whether this was a cash flow
issue. Mr. Molendyk clarified that the original budget
for ~fie Stadium was $14.6 million, and at this point it
would be necessary to authorize additional funds.
~Ir. Young commen~ed tha~ some of the prior bids wriic2a
came in above budqet had been rejected to allow €or
PAGE FIVE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINQTES - JANUARY 10~ 1994
additional value engineering; however, he noted that at
this point there is really not time for that type of
action. FIe further noted that although the contract is
being awarded at this time, there is sometimes an
opportunity to go back and review points of the project
to identify possible cost savings with the contractor.
He noted that they have an established relationship with
this electrical contractor through the prior portions of
the project and this opportunity might exist. Mr.
Molendyk concurred that this opportunity might exist, but
noted that significant changes requested by the team have
impacted the overall project. Boardmember Washburn
commented that it might also be possible to go back to
the table with the team.
Mr. Young commented that to stay on schedule and achieve
the goal set, it would be necessary to issue notices to
proceed immediately following this meeting. He stressed
the need to order specialty items to insure timely
delivery.
Executive Director Molendyk commented that meetings have
been held previously with lighting experts to look at
possible cost cutting measures. He reiterated the need
to authorize additional funds to allow the project to
proceed.
Chairman Winkler inquired what additional items were left
to bid out. Mr. Young indicated that this process is
nearly complete. He advised that the items yet to be bid
include the outfield Fence, railing in the seating area,
limited signage, netting and a few other minor items. He
noted the probability that the higher cost of the bids
received most likely includes necessary overtime to
complete the project on schedule. He further noted that
most likely the contractors will start looking at two to
three shifts a day and possibly a 24 hour a day
schedule.
Executive Director Molendyk noted that allowances have
been made for portable lighting to allow for this
schedule.
Boardmember Alongi expressed concern that there is not
time to negotiate and lower the costs. He questioned the
cost per day, if the Stadium is not ready to accommodate
the agreement with the baseball team.
Mr. Young commented on his frustration with the project
in that there is not time to negotiate prices as much as
he would like, however, he reminded the Board of the
limitations of the public bidding process. He noted that
if ~hese bids were rejected, it would talce a minimum of
four weeks to go back through the process, and that much
time is just not available. Boardmember Washburn noted
that most of the prior bids had come in under the
estimates. Mr. Young concurred, noting that this is
really the first time that there is not much opportunity
to readdress the package.
Boardmember Alongi indicated that the contractors on this
project are doing a great job and keeping with the budget
PAGE ~I% - ItEDEVELOPMENT 2-GENCY MYNIITES - JANUARY l0e 1994
is not really the poinf, He indicated that he is
concerned with the need for another million dollars. He
stressed ~.hat the projec~ cos~ is now over $15.s million.
He indicated that he would have liked sufficient time to
review alternatives with the City Attorney and Finance
Director before making this type of decision. He
stressed his responsibility to the public and taxpayers
~o use the City°s money effectively. Yie questioned where
tfie funds would be shifted from.
Executive Director Piolendyk noted that at this point the
Board cannot waste time in meeting the deadline. Iie
andicated that while no decision today would send a
message, there is approximately $2 million in reserves
which could be loaned and paid back. He stressed that
this would mean other projects would have to wait until
the funds were paid backo die further stressed that while
a number of projects have been approved, this is the only
one underway.
MOVED BY W%ISKLER, SECONDED BY
2.Le
TO APPROVE CONTRACTS 2.A.-
~oardmember Alongi questioned how the $1 million would be
paid back and whether i~ would be out of the $4 million
designated for pay back. Mr. Molendyk clarified that
there is approximately $2 million in reserves; if $1
million is loaned to the Redevelopmen~ Agency for this
project, the money would be paid back as the bonds
mature.
Boardmember Alongi commented that there was $14.5 million
in bonds issued for the Stadium, with $4.5 million to
make the payments for the first two years. Yie questioned
where the additional $1 million would come from,
Executive Director Molendyk clarified the bonds sold and
noted that the Agency had been approved for a higher
ceilinge He explained that the funds can only be
released as the tax increment increaseso as the tax
increment improves the dollars would be released from the
escrow account. He indicated that as soon as the money
is replaced, it would be possible to look at other
policiese
Boardmember Washburn commented that it behooves the
Agency to complete ~his project to generate additional
projects. Executive Director Molendyk commented that the
only source of funding at this time appears to be fhe
reserves.
Boardmember Alongi expressed concern with wha~ funds
would remain to acldress what the State takes away this
year. Boardmember Washburn indicated that preliminary
reports show that the State will not be taking from the
ci~ies ~his year.
Vice Chairman Dominguez questioned iE the originaT
agreement was that no other projects would occur until
the Stadium was completed. Mr. Alongi indica~ed tha~
projects such as Nashland and the Methodist Church have
been proceeding.

BUSINESS ITEM
1. Award of Stadium Contracts. (F:134.10)
Brian Myers, of the Young Investment Group, gave a brief
explanation of the Stadium Contracts and explained that the
low bid for Metal Fabrications and Misc. Structural Steel
Framing was submitted by United Iron Works in the amount of
$298,915.00. He explained that there is an alternate provided
for in the contract for an additional $48,600. The Engineer°s
estimate was $285,000. The additional item listed as
Alternate #2, is a trade off from our previous bid for stucco,
which was a trade. off of a stucco panel verses a wire mesh
panel was a deduct from the Stucco bid of $58,000 then added
into the Misc. Steel bid which created a savings of $10,000.
He explained the total amount of the bid would be $347,515.
Mr. Myers recommends that the Agency accept the bid with the
alternate. Mr. Myers stated the low bid for Flag Poles for
Stadium Game Equipment was by West Coast Netting, Inc., which
include the netting, batting cages etc., in the amount of
$104,000. Mr. Myers explained that there was a volunteer
alternate for the batting cages was a reduction of $28,000.
His net contract for this item will be $76,000 and he
recommends approval of this bid.
Executive Director Molendyk asked how many flag poles were
being purchased in this contract. Mr. Myers stated that there
were two.
Boardmember Alongi asked why there was no pole for the City
flag or the ball team flag. Mr. Myers explained that there
will be banners throughout the stadium and if there is a need
for an additional flag pole, he can look into it.
Boardmember Washburn asked if these were the bids per the
plans submitted. Mr. Myers stated that they were.
Executive Director Molendyk stated that it should be decided
what the Agency wanted.

available,
Administrative Services Director Boone noted the projections
of revenue and expenditures by each fiscal year. Boardmember

explained that at the worst conservative estimates, it is.
Executive Director Molendyk explained that if the economy
doesn't move and no building is done then the figures would be
correct, however by three years from now, it is felt that the
tax increment will grow and this estimate is looking at raw
land that has not developed; development will create a change
that will increase the revenues.

explained that a vote can be written and then publicly read,

for are a matter of public record as the vote is revealed. He
further explained that the City is required to keep the audio
tapes of each meeting for a period of thirty days and make
them accessible to the public.
Councilman Alongi asked if the City Policy can supersede the
policy set by the Brown Act if it is stronger. City Attorney
Harper stated that policy could. He explained that the
ability to review tapes is free of charqe to the public, but
the City can charge for copies. He stated that broadcasting
of ineetings is allowed as long as it does not interfere with
the business of the City. Mr. Harper stated that another
change which does not affect this City is the requirement to
hold any meeting for the City within the jurisdiction, subject
to several exceptions such as meetings with an attorney or
going to visit another agency's site.
City Manager Molendyk clarified that if the City were to have
a work session it must be done within the City. City Attorney
Harper confirmed they must be held within the City unlpss
there is a special reason why it cannot be within the
jurisdiction.
Mayor Washburn questioned the ability to hold training
seminars at locations such as Bear Creek c~ Biq Bear. City
Attorney Harper stated that if it was sponsored by the League
of California Cities or another agency then there would be no
problem, but if it were sponsored by the City thr,:~ ifi. would
have to be held in the City.
City Attorney Harper noted that the Agenda still must be
available 72 hours in advance of a meeting and that any item
which must be added later is required to have a four-fifths
vote. He explained that the item added must have an immediate
need for action by City Council and the need arose after the
Agenda was posted. He noted that closed sessions must be
listed on the Agenda with a brief description of the subject
and the results of the closed session and the vote must be
disclosed to the public. Mr. Harper explained that the Public
is to be allowed input on any item ard that would include work
shops and study sessions as well as Council and Redevelopment
Agency meetings. He suggested that on work shops and study
sessions that it be acknowledged that no action will be taken.
He explained that if the Public questions Council at a meeting
they are allowed to respond or to ask staff for clarification,
but the question cannot be discussed nor any action taken.
City Attorney Harper explained that there are some changes in
the requirements for Public Hearings and definitions for
pending litigations whicfi will be dealt with on a staff level.

CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Washburn called the meeting to order at 3:40 p.m.
DISCUSSION ITEM
1. Ubdate on Brown Act Revisions. (F:92.1)(X:40.2)
City Manager Molendyk explained that recently the City Clerk
and the Assistant City Manager attended a work shop regarding
the Brown Act, and as a result asked the City Attorney to
schedule a Study Session with Council to review the changes.
City Attorney Harper explained that the changes to Council are
not that substantial, but there have been a significant
changes that will affect staff; and the action required by the
Brown Act will require more staff time. He stated that it
will require Council and staff to consider issues in advance
with a greater lead time. City Attorney Harper reviewed the
basic changes made in the Brown Act that pertain to the City
Council and the Redevelopment Agency and explained that the
definition of legislative body has been changed to include any
commission which includes a quorum of the City Council. This
clarifies the fact that any standing committee is subject to
the Brown Act and that means any commission or standing
committee appointed by the Council or receiving funds from the
City with a member of Council sitting on the board or
committee is subject to posting notices and meetings are open
to the public.
There was general discussion in regard to a member of Council
sitting on another committee and whether it was subject to the
Brown Act. City Attorney Harper explained that if the
committee is not governed by the Council then it is not the
responsibility of the City to follow the Brown Act for that
committee. Ae further explained that there can be a short
term Ad Hoc Committee, appointed by Council, which would not
fall under the Brown Act.
City Manager Molendyk stated that the Lake Advisory Committee
is an Ad Hoc Committee at this time, but it miqht be changed
by Council, in the future to become a standing committee. He
noted that the Council might want to consider combining the
Design Review Committee with the Planning Commission due to
the changes in the Brown Act. Mr. Molendyk suggested that the
Planning Commission might be more objective in regard to
projects, they meet on a bimonthly basis and have a good
attendance, as well as the fact that the Council does not sit
on that board. City Manager Molendyk stated that the DRC has
not been following the original desiqn and intent of the which
was to be an old and quaint aura for the Downtown District.
Mayor Washburn stated that the reason the committee was formed
for Design Review was to make the process faster and easier
and to represent the Downtown Area and separate it from the
rest of the community.
PAGE TWO
CYTY COUNCYL/REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY STUDY SESSION
FEBRIIARY 15s 1994
City Manager Molendyk s~ated fhat he felt that the reason for
the committee was to be more sensitive to the needs and design
of the area and to encourage people to conform.
Councilman Alongi stated that the Planning Commission should
not have a problem with the Downtown District, since there is
a guideline to follow regarding the design requirements.
Councilman Alongi stated that he would like to see someone
other than Council be on the Nuisance Abatement Committee. He
explained that there is still the problem with the appeaZ of
decisions, because the person is before the same Councilman
that previously considered his project.
Councilmaxa Dominguez suggested that possibly the Nuisance
Aba~ement Committee could be made up of people sucfi as
contractors and buildersa
City Manager D'Iolendyk stated that the Brown Act was done to be
sure that the public gets all the information in a
professional way. Iie explained that now would be an ideal
time ~o review the agencla format and pointed out the
difficulty of doing a verbal report. He explained that it is
difficult to explain this to the press. He asked that a
Council Policy be developed to address format and deadlinese
City Attorney Harper stated that there has to be a brie£
description of the items which appear on the Agenda. He
explained that a one word or sentence title followed by verbal
report is not adequate. He stated that there must be a brief
description of the items which appear on the aqenda so that
the public will know what the discussion is about.
City Manager Molendyk explained that it is legal for staff to
sit with two Councilmembers at a time to supply information
regarding the agenda itemso but that it was not legal for
members of Council to ~alk to other members to try to
influence decisions.
City Attorney Harper noted that one of the changes applies to
newly elected Councilmembers and that prior to taking the
oath, ~hey will still fall under the Brown Acto
City Attorney Harper explained that serial voting is strictly
prohibited, and the City Manager or one of Council cannot
contact Councilmembers and explain an issue and aslc how they
would vote and then use that information ~o make a decision.
City Attorney Harper e~lained that the changes in the meeting
requirements do not preclucle members of Council from talking
to the public or each other as individuals. He stated that it
is still possible to attend conferences, although you cannot
talk about City business. Mr. %iarper explained that all the
changes are really a codification of the legal opinions that
have been reached in the past and this is just a formal action
~o make the legal decisions a part of the official Brown Act.
City Attorney Harper noted that Council is precluded from
~aking a secret ballot. Yie explained that no action may be
taken by secret ballot. All votes must be public. Mr. Harper

six months he has taken proposals Prom three diPPerent
management firms, as well as staff and the total based on
the private firms is around a million and a half dollars
plus part of the gate. Staff estimated, for operations,
at about a million and a half to a million-seven. He
stated that allowing the fact that the statium is being
built and now the best way to approach this is throuqh a
contractural arrangement. He further explained that it
is necessary to start maintenance within 30 days and
allowing for that fact, there is no way that he has the
time to follow the governmental rules to recruite and
interview. Mr. Molendy recommends the Spectrum Group
which consists of Mr. Young, Mr. Myers, Larry Randal and
Bill Harper who is familiar with the management of
baseball stadiums. The contract is written around the
requirements and obligations the City has with the team
which says that for the 68 home games the City must
provide maintenance, building maintenance, security and
parking. Mr. Molendyk then described the proposed
private security. Traffic control and maintenance would
also be contracted out. He stated that there should be
no major capital improvements the first few years, and
after the first few years the City will know where it
stands. He explained that there is still the purchase of
the mowers, drags, and other equipment for maintenance of
the field; and noted that there might be the possibily of
leasing equipment.
Boardmember Cherveny asked if the City went to bid on
this contract. Executive Director Molendyk stated that
three proposals were considered from management firms.
Boardmember Washburn explained that some teams do manage
the stadiums, but it was felt that this would not be
appropriate for our City.
Executive Director Molendyk also explained that
professional services are negotiated and they are not put
out to bid. He explained that they will be
subcontracting some of the work and the City has
encouraged them to hire local firms.
Boardmember Cherveny asked if the contract will have a
cost breakdown. She noted that all it states is that it
is for 68 days of baseball. Mr. Young explained that
under the contract this is a 365 day a year program.
Therefore they will not charge for showing up for
concerts. He explained that they would be submitting a
budget for the concerts, but the management and building
maintenance is for 365 days a year.
Executive Director Molendyk explained that the local High
School is proposing to have their graduation at the
Stadium and if it costs $6,000 then that is what the City
will bill the user. He further explained that in the
future, to lower costs, the City will try to develop a
relationship with someone like World Class Productions
who would promote the concerts and the cost of the
consert would be factored into the cost of the tickets.
Boardmember Cherveny asked if Spectrum Group managed any
other facility. Mr. Young stated that they have not
managed any other facility. She stated that the reason
she is asking is because the contract is being awarded
for a three year period and under the circumstances it
might be wiser to set this for a one year contract.
PAGE TffitEE - SPECIAL REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINIITES - MARCH 9~ 1994
Executive Director Molendyk explained that the finer
points can be negotiated at the time of the contract but
this is for the letter of intent, but he would see that
just as any other contract the City has for services, if
the company does not perform to the standard expected
then the City can give 30 days notice. He stated that
consisdering the necessity of staffing for thier company
they need a 3 year contract to present to their
employees. Mr. Molendyk explained that the City is
trying to privatize the Stadium to keep the costs down.
He stated that most of the other stadiums are run by
their own staff and operate at a loss which this City is
trying to avoid.
Mr. Young stated that during thier investigation of other
stadiums they checked out the different maintenance and
upkeep and proposed an amount which is competitive.
Executive Director Molendyk e~lained that if the
management team cannot perform then the City has two
options. The City either allows the management team to
hire other subcontractors or the City gets a new
management team. Mr. Young explained that if the
management team is not doing their job then the contract
will be severed, but the quarantee of a good job is the
fact that several of the team are making carreer
decisions which is why thier company is asking for a
three year contract.
Boardmember Cherveny asked if there were any numbers
regarding the cost of operations from Rancho Cucamonga.
Manager of Special Projects Watenpaugh explained that for
Fiscal Year 1995/96 it was 1.4 million dollars.
Boardmember Cherveny asked where the money would come
from for the retainer. Executive Director Molendyk
explained that the funds would come from the RDA and City
reserves. He explained that this will be explained in
the next report for revenue in and revenue out.
Boardmember Alongi stated that he had a concern with the
portion of the contract which allows for an increase in
annual cost and inflation with no cap on the amount. He
stated that he would like to see a section which reads
"not to exceed" included. Mr. Young stated that he would
address this.
Boardmember Alongi questioned the $50,000 for equipment
and if the equipment will be leased. Mr. Young stated
that this has not be decided on, but if the equipment is
leased then the $50,000 will not be needed.
Executive Director Molendyk explained that if the lease
of the equipment comes to $50,000 or so then it is not
cost effective because once the City buys the equipment,
then it belongs to the City and if that cost is $50,000
then we know that its ours. The lease of the equipment
will depend upon the cost.
Boardmember Alongi asked if the budqet proposal was for
1.6 million dollars, and questioned the breakdown of the
funds. Executive Director Molendyk explained that the
funds will cover building maintenance, maintaining the
fields and landscaping which will be year round and the
68 games will require parking and security.
PAGS FOIIR - SPECIAL REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINIITES - MARCH 9~ 1994
Boardmember Alongi referred to page one of the contract
which states "that the plan is based on a 68 baseball
event schedule for the annual operating period of of
April 1 through March 31. To the extent additional
events are added during the year, a detailed event cost
will be submitted within 30 days of notification and
description". He stated that this means, to him, that
the fee is for the 68 games and any other event will cost
the City. Mr. Young explained that in the final contract
it is for the full 365 days for the manaqement. He cited
the 4th of July concert, noting that the extra security,
clean-up and parking is over and above the management.
Boardmember Alongi stated that since this is a new
facility and the City cannot know what type of problems
can arise, he explained that he would like to see at
least one dedicated officer present in the begininq.
Executive Director Molendyk explained that for the first
few games there will be extra security provided and there
has been discussion in regard to haveing one or two units
present when the stadium is filling to be visible. Mr.
Young stated that at the next meeting security will be
discussed and they will show how the security will be
handled in the begining of the season. Mr. Molendyk
explained that the officers would be contracted by the
City and this would not be part of the management
contract.
Councilman Alongi stated that he would like to see the
management implelment use of local people and especially
use High School students. Mr. Young stated that he
wished to assure Council that this is important to thier
team and stated that this is their committment.
Executive Director Molendyk explained that if the
security firm is located in Santa Ana, they will hire
locally, since the persons who work for them on this
project will not want to drive from Santa Ana to Lake
Elsinore, and stressed there will be opportunity to hire
from the local area. Mr. Young explained that they are
trying to work with the team and concessionaire to hire
local people.
Boardmember Alongi asked how long the baseball season
runs. Mr. Young stated that it was from April 15, to
September 3. He stated that the type of jobs available
for the youth can be from usher, clean-up, score-keeper,
etc. Executive Director Molendyk explained that this
will entail a part time job for the kids and open up lots
of opportunties.
Executive Director Molendyk asked when they will start
operations assuming this is approved. Mr. Young stated
that if their letter of intent is approved, they are
ready to begin now.

master plan lot "C" is designated as a temporary parking
lot. He also explained the alternates that are possible
for that parking facility.

not be an issue, but over the long run he felt that it
would detract from the future events. He recommended
that the Board consider Alternate No. 1 to maintain the
quality of the facility.
Boardmember Washburn commented that he had stopped at the
Padre Stadium in Chandler, Arizona and stated that in the
parking area for exclusive seating was paved and the
general parking was on grass. He indicated that it kept
down the dust and is an alternative. He inquired if the
base could be placed and rolled now, with the asphalt
placed at a later date.
Brian Myers explained the activities area which would
never be paved because of different types of activities.
He stated that the alternate parkinq area consists of a
very sandy, dusty soil and will need the base rock placed
to cut down on the dust. He explained the overwhelming
response from the public and noted that it was much
greater than expected so there will be a greater need for
more parking. Mr. Myers explained the alternatives.
Boardmember pominguez stated that the Stadium has been

Executive Director Molendyk explained that there was a
budget item for the purchase of equipment and it has been

replacemen~.
Boardmember Washburn asked that if a piece of equipment
is found to be unsatisfactory, and management wishes to
PAGE THREE - SPECIAL REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETING - APRIL 4a 1994
purchase something else, is there a way that the City can
obtain a credit for the return of the equipment in the
lease. Executive Director Molendyk explained that he
can check the lease, but any credit goes toward the
purchase of the equipment.
Brian Myers explained that at the end of five years the
lease expires and at that time the City can then purchase
the equipment or continue the lease.
Executive Director Molendyk explained that this type of
equipment must be replaced frequently
Boardmember Alongi asked if there were prices from any
other company. Mr. Myers stated that they had received
other prices and he explained that Toro gave the best
proposal for this type of equipment.
Boardmember Alongi explained that he had a problem
approving the lease when he has no other amounts to
compare to and stated that he felt that he should have

has been taken on by the Redevelopment Agency Board, without
a commitment by the residents to hook~up. ~e expressed
concern with spending nearly a million dollars and having it
go unused. He suggested that the City ffollow the same

Public Services Director Tecca explained that a median was built
down Malaga Drive and was stopped short of the driveways of Town
Center to allow for left hand turns. He explained that when the
left turn pocket was designed, it was designed to allow entrance
into the driveway. Mr. Tecca explained that after a meeting with
Lieutenant Garthwaite and Sergeant Hoffman of the Sheriff's Office,
Bill Harper, Manager of the Stadium and the Security people, it was
decided to prohibit left turns into and out of the driveways after
Stadium events because of traffic hazards and potential accidents.
Mr. Tecca stated that traffic control is the jurisdiction of the
Sheriff's Department and that they decide when to close off the
driveways.
Mr. Desmond stated that it defeats the purpose of having a business
in Town Center if they cannot profit from the patrons of the
Stadium.

person who has use of the suite should be responsible as a
host.

that is officially tied to the City and is responsible for it.
PAGE THREE - ADJOURNED JOINT SPECIAL MEETING - MAY ~~ 1994

amenities, because he felt that it was more an economic
develop~ent tool; or should be used to reward the members of
the community who have done something special; or an
outstanding employee, such as an employee of the year. He
stated that the City should pay the cost of hosting, but when
the Council is using it on an independent basis they should
pay for themselves. Mayor/BOardmember Washburn stated that if
the person using the s.uite, leave sodas or other items in the
suite it is fair game for the next person who uses it.
City Manager/Executive Molendyk advised that until Council

will be assigned on a lottery system.
Councilman/Chairman Winkler stated that for every second and
forth Tuesday there is a game and the tickets should be used
for economic, business, or recognition for employees.
Mayor/Boardmember Washburn explained that the dates should be
planned in advance to allow the people to make plans.

PAGE THREE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINOTES - MAY 24~ 1994
1) Commented on the Boat Races last weekend and stated that
he had the opportunity to ride in a boat at 90 miles an
hour. He stated that it was a real family affair and he
hoped to have many more of these type of events on the
Lake in the future.
2) Stated that he would like to clear up things with the
Cardroom issue on the ballot. He clarified the fact that
there is no off-track betting nor Las Vegas style
gambling with slot machines. He explained that they are
Hotels or Motels with restaurants and recreational
facilities. The cardrooms are off-shoots of the main
facilities. He stated that before the general public
votes on the issue they should educate themselves in
regard to what type of facilities are being proposed, by
contacting the staff at City Hall who will put them in
touch with the different developers.
3) Commented on the fact that the Cultural Center was
expensive to redo and expensive to run, but when the
Community Center was built it was meant for the use of
the community without charge. He explained that the
Community Center was manned with staff people and whether
the room is used or not the staff person is still there
and being paid, therefore if the room is used or not the
expense is still there. Councilman Alongi would like to
see the Community Center used as it was supposed to be,
and get all the non-profit organizations to utilize it.
4) Made note of the Nashland area and the fact that when
this project was brought before Council he opposed it.
He explained that it was bad design and was a potential
problem from the beqinning. He explained that when he
moved to the Avenues there were similar problems and by
cooperation of the neighbors in encouraging landlords to
address the issues as well as the neighborhood cleaning
up the surrounding property, the area has improved. He
stated that the entire neighborhood has responsibility to
their area to create improvements. Councilman Alonqi
stated that the community looks a lot better today than
it did 20 years aqo, but there are still a few problems.
He explained that he understands Nashland's problems, but
he explained that he has an entire community to consider
and responsibility to other areas of the community. He
stated that he does not base his decisions on getting
claps or approvals, he bases his vote and opinion on what
is good for the community and how he can better service
the community with the funds that the City has. He
explained that the up-cominq year is going to present
difficult budget problems and although he has no problem
assisting Nashland area, he felt that it should be
addressed with CDBG funds and other grants from the
County and the State. He explained that because he
doesn't live on Quail Drive doesn't mean that he does not
have feelings for Quail Drive. He then presented a video
tape narrated by Alan Baldwin, regarding the Orange
County Community Housing Development Commission.
Councilman Alongi explained that the video explained what
he hopes will be accomplished in the Nashland area. He

solely from the City's proceeds of bed tax, sales tax, and
other taxes on fees the City is entitled to receive from the

any questions that Council might have.
Councilman/Chairman Winkler noted that the body of the
Agreement does not state what will occur within the phases.

periods shortened regarding Performance in Section 7.2 to 3
and 1/2 years for Phase I because of the political terms of
the Council.

unreasonable since his company will be putting up all the
money for EIR's and studies. He explained that since the
proposed project is in Redevelopment Agency Project No. 1, the
Redevelopment Agency does not have any Eminent Domain power
remaining therefore the property settlement will take much
longer. He stated that 3 and 1/2 years would be acceptable if
there is a clause that allows for unforeseen circumstances
beyond the Developer's control.
Councilman/Chairman Winkler asked for clarification regarding
the Conference Center, in Section 5.5 of the Agreement. Mr.
O'Bryne explained that the developer will be fronting the
money for the Conference Center and the City will reimburse up
to $1.5 million.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk stated that he
thought that the Developer would be responsible for $1.5
million and the City could be responsible for up to $1.5
million if the Center cost $3 million. Mr. O'Byrne stated
that the verbiage could be misunderstood, but the section
addressing advancement to the City/RDA the amount of
$1,500,000 to be reimbursed to the Developer.
Councilman/Chairman Winkler stated that since Area I is an old
project area the City would be receiving a certain increment
already. He asked that the section be changed to $100,000
over and above what the City is already xeceiving.
Mayor/Boardmember Washburn ask that Special Projects
Coordinator Wood address Council with possible changes.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk stated that the
Council and Redevelopment Agency are negotiating for a first
class Red Lion Inn for the public and not something less than
what the City was led to believe. He explained that the staff
is working cl.osely with th~ developer to make sure it is a
first class project.
PAGE THREE - ADJOURNED MINUTES - MAY 31, 1994
Special Projects Coordinator Wood listed the following
suggested changes:
1.4.4 Development of Site. The site shall be developed
by the Developer as a hotel, Conference, Marina for
Red Lion Hotels and Inns in accordance with and
within the limitations established therefore in
this Agreement. Developer, however, has the
absolute right, and at its sole discretion, subject
to the reasonable review by the Agency, to modify
the site plan, to phase the development, or to not
develop certain phases, to meet current economic
needs. This includes, without limitation, re-
parceling, re-zoning, etc. City/RDA hereby agrees
to use their best efforts in assisting Developer to
obtain all such items.
1.5 Closing Date. The term "Closing Date" shall mean
the date(s) set for closing by Developer for each
parcel of property within the Site. Such closing
may be completed in phases and at Developer's
discretion. All such closing of Phase I shall
occur on or before July 1, 1998, from the date of
execution of this Agreement, and the closing of
Phase II shall occur on or before July 1, 2013,
from the date of execution of this Agreement,
unless extended by mutual agreement of the parties
or governmental delay.
Mr. O'Byrne stated that July 1, 1998, is acceptable, but he
felt that July 1, 2002, would not give them the flexibility to
perform that they will need to complete the project.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk explained that the
biggest problems experienced by the City when they enter into
DDA Agreements, is performance. He stated that if it is
agreed to make the closing date for Phase I in four years and
four years after Phase I for Phase II to close and there is a
need to go to six years for Phase II then the Council can
change the date, but if Council approves 10 years and 15 years
respectfully, then Phase II might never happen.
Mr. 0'Byrne explained the difference in this Disposition and
Development Agreement versus the other Agreements the City has
entered into.
Councilman/Chairman Winkler stated that he did not have a
problem with a longer time for Phase II, it is the immediate
push to get Phase I going. He stated that it was important to
the Community to get immediate quality development at that end
of the Lake.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk noted that Red Lion
Inns wanted to come to the City of Lake Elsinore because of
the feeling that they got from the older portion of town as
well as the park. He explained that they will be sensitive to
what is abutting their development as well as a way to phase
into Main Street. Mr. Molendyk stated that the City Park
would be that transition, but some of Council is uncomfortable
with this concept since the Park has been there for a number
of years. He stated that the park could be used as a
landscape buffer and used as a means of connecting Main Street
with the hotel. He asked Mr. 0'Byrne to explain the concept
for City Park.
Mayor/Boardmember Washburn stated that looking at the plans
the park sits at the entrance and his concern is that he does
not want to see the park as history because it is part of the
Development Agreement. He asked that verbiage be placed
PAGE FOUR - ADJOURNED MINUTES - MAY 31, 1994
into the Agreement which will preserve the park and allow
Council to address this issue at a future date.
Mr. 0'Byrne indicated that the park could not be incorporated
into the design as it exists today. It would be relandscaped
to include walking and bike trails and blend with the
landscaping of the rest of the project.
Councilwoman/Boardmember Cherveny asked why the project could
projectl d s gn ponsultantslsstat a~ha rnitstwou dtnot tbe
compatible.
Mayor/Boardmember Washburn stated that a paragraph would have
to be included which would provide for the retention of the
City Park subject to the conformance within the plan of the
Red Lion Project.
Councilman/Chairman Winkler stated that if it would not be
compatible with the project it should be altered since it is
a small price to pay for this project.
Mr. O'Byrne stated that if they were unable to incorporate the
park into the plan it would jeopardize the entire project. If
the park can be incorporated in its existing state then it
will be used as it is. He explained that there was one other
issue that was important to this project and that was bringing
the Lake up to Main Street. This project would incorporate
the Lake, hotel and downtown area.
Special Projects Coordinator Wood stated that the City Park is
not owned by the Agency, and cannot be given to the project.
He explained that this property must either be sold or swapped
for another piece of property of equal or greater value. He
further suggested the following change to the Section
regarding Conference Center:
5.5 Conference Center. At Developer's request,
City/RDA hereby agree to grant Developer all costs
of constructinq a conference center facility and
shall finance such facility with a C.O.P. or other
similar financing device if legally and
economically feasible. Such facility shall be
owned by Agency or City and leased to Developer
under a manaqement contract for the longest period
which will maintain the tax exempt status of any
financing allowed by law. Under any management
agreement, Developer shall pay City/RDA an amount
equal to the City/RDA's payment obligation of the
financing source. In the event there is no debt
service by City/RDA then Developer shall pay an
annual amount equal to the actual costs of
constructing t.he conference center, amortized over
a 30 year period at an interest rate of not more
than 8~ per annum. If C.O.P., or other similar
financing source is not available, not viable, or
impracticable, or Developer so chooses, Developer
agrees to advance City/RDA the amount of such
facility, not to exceed one million five hundred
thousand dollars ($1,500,000) and such facility
shall be granted to and owned by Developer and
subject to the terms that are provided in Section
5.8 below.
Councilwoman/Boardmember Cherveny asked how much revenue is
currently being generated from the area proposed. Special
Projects Coordinator Wood explained that the only revenue is
the property tax increment. She asked for the dollar amount
of property tax being generated by that area.
PAGE FIVE - ADJOURNED MINUTES - MAY 31, 1994
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk asked if
approximately 50~ of the land in the proposed project area is
currently vacant. Administrative Service Director Boone
stated that it would be 50~ or more land that is vacant. Mr.
Wood explained that the values set at this time are from 1975
and will have to reappraised.
Mayor/Boardmember Washburn asked since part of this project is
the intent to bring the hotel in for economic development,
would it be possible to include the pocket along the Outflow
Channel to Graham Avenue and then come back to Spring Street.
Mr. O'Byrne explained that one of the problems with that
concept is the expense. With the current project there will
be a relocation of 23 units and the proposed area would be an
extreme increase in cost. He stated that if the City wished
to buy the property and locate the people involved that they
would be glad to incorporate this into the project, but it
would be a major expense.
Mr. O'Byrne explained that because of the style of the hotel,
it will not be filled up by local residents, the clientele
will come from outside the community. He stated that because
of that, the site will have to be conference facilities for
Phase I, in Phase II it would be expanded to allow for
convention facilities with 500 to 600 rooms. When the
facility is built it will make the land surrounding the
facility valuable for commercial and encourage the sale of the
property.
Councilman/BOardmember Alongi asked if the conference facility
is leased to the developer wouldn't the City loose the
property tax. Special Projects Coordinator Wood explained
that it would exclude property tax, but if the City does lease
the Conference Center, the lessee would pay a possessory
interest tax, which is equivalent to the property tax.
Couneilman/Boardmember Alongi-asked if the possessory tax
would be included in the lease amount.
Mayor/BOardmember Washburn asked if the Conference Center is
leased to the applicant the County would add a possessionary
tax which would be equivalent to the lost property tax.
Special Projects Coordinator Wood explained that this would be
collected and then a portion would be given to the City.
Councilman/BOardmember Alongi asked why the City would be
giving the developer 50~ of the fees. Special Projects
Coordinator Wood explained that this would be addressed in
part by a waiver of fees and no up-front money.
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi asked if the City Park is
included in Phase I of the project. Mr. O'Byrne stated that
it was, Councilman/Boardmember Alongi then addressed Section
1.4.5 - Schedule of Performance and asked if this section
meant that not only does the City loose the first park of the
City, but it may not get the second phase. Mr. 0'Byrne
explained that they are sensitive to the park and will try to
preserve it if possible.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk explained that if the
developer presents two or three master plans and they are
willing to enhance the area by bringing the water closer to
Main Street, then the Council might like the concept better
than what is being worked with now.
Mayor/Boardmember Washburn made suggestions regarding
potential changes to the entrances..
PAGE SIX - ADJOURNED MINUTES - MAY 31, 1994
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi questioned Section 5.7 -
City/RDA Fees, on line 21 and 27 where it states "best
efforts" regarding water quality and water level. Ae pointed
out the water is owned by E.V.M.W.D.
Mr. O'Byrne explained that this clause was included to protect
the City and it just confirms that the City will do all that
is possible to address those issues. He explained that they
are putting forth all the money to develop this project and
they are taking all the risks for recovery of their funds. He
stated that if anything were to jeopardize the ability for the
project to make money, then they would loose it all.
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi asked if Mr. O'Byrne if the City
goes ahead with the project and City agrees to repay portions
of it and the developer fails would the City pay any more.
Mr. O'Bryne explained that the funds up to $100,000 go to the
City and then they (the developer) would receive any money
thereafter.
There was general discussion in regard to the financing. Mr.
O'Byrne explained that the City of Lake Elsinore is currently
not developed into a recreational conference town and the
developer will have to create the market to accomplish this
goal.
Mayor/Boardmember Washburn stated that in Section 5.8 -
Advances to City/RDA addressed the advances to City/RDA and he
stated that there should be a clause to allow for total pay-
off prior to the end of 25 years as well as the possibility to
built in cost-of-living increases. Mr. 0'Byrne explained that
a raise in the Cost of Living is one of the factors that have
been figured in to the project for their investors.
Councilwoman/Boardmember Cherveny stated that what is being
discussed is not the tax increment site specific that is going
back, but rather all the revenue that would be generated off
of this site. She explained that it would include the tax
increment, and that there is no revenue income stream flowing
to the City; and stated that all of the bed tax has been
listed as revenue and will not be coming to the City as well
as all of the sales tax from future development and the
property tax revenue. Councilwoman/Boardmember Cherveny
stated that from all of that income, all that will be coming
back to the City is $100,000. She would like to see just the
tax increment be site specific and the $100,000 be allocated
back to the City. She stated that in the Agreement it states
that until the developer has fully paid for all the advances
made, the City would maintain a minimum of 10~ bed tax and
would agree not to lower the bed tax without the developer's
prior consent. She explained that the City is being limited
as to what the Bed Tax can be, but the developer is qetting it
as well.
Mayor/Boardmember Washburn stated that the Bed Tax can go up,
but cannot be dropped below 10~ and the increment alone would
not pay back the debt.
Councilwoman/Boardmember Cherveny stated that she is not
trying to pay back the debt. She explained that if the Red
Lion Inn wants to come into this community and build a Red
Lion Inn, the City can provide some assistance for
infrastructure, but she felt that'the City did not need to pay
them for building their hotel here.
PAGE SEVEN - ADJOURNED MINUTES - MAY 31, 1994
Mayor/BOardmember Washburn stated that he felt that
Councilwoman/Boardmember Cherveny missed the point. He
explained that most cities would provide assistance above what
is beinq made reference to in order to entice them because of
the multiplying factors of dollars that it will bring to the
community. Everything within the site area, except the
$100,000 will go to pay off the debt.
Councilwoman/Boardmember Cherveny questioned the dates for
closing. Mayor Washburn/BOardmember Washburn confirmed the
dates.
Councilwoman/Boardmember Cherveny asked if the pay back is 25
years or 20 years. Mr. O'Byrne explained that it is 20 years.
She asked if there was a property profile of the persons who
owned or rented the existing 25 units. Mr. O'Byrne stated
that he did. She asked in the event the developer is not able
to acquire all of the 25 units, will the developer rely on the
City to exercise its power to Eminent Domain the property.
City Attorney/Legal Counsel Harper explained that the RDA has
no power of Eminent Domain in that Redevelopment Area. He
stated that the only agency which could Eminent Domain is the
City and the only way to exercise that power is to acquire
property for the City as addressed in Section 5.2 - Property
Acguisition.
Councilwoman/BOardmember Cherveny stated that the City is on
an active cost recovery program and asked why the $35,000 fees
are being waived. City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk
explained that the developer is asking for that consideration
and the City would budget $35,000 in RDA to pay those fees.
Councilwoman/Boardmember Cherveny asked if those funds would
be in the budget to pay for that. Administrative Services
Director Boone stated that there would be funds available.
Councilwoman/BOardmember Cherveny questioned the section
regarding the marina and that the marina would be owned by the
City and leased back to the developer and asked in regard to
the sale of the marina. Mr. O'Byrne explained that the
$10,000 would be the remainder of the monies for the marina.
He stated that his company will be making the payments to pay
for the marina. Because the City can acquire the grants
therefore the City and his company would become partners.
Councilwoman/Boardmember Cherveny asked if the City was
obligated to sell the marina. City Attorney/Lega1 Counsel
Harper stated that under the provisions of this agreement the
developer would have the right to purchase the marina.
Mr. O'Byrne explained that if the City is unable to acquire
grants or loans for the marina, then the developer will have
to find the money to build the marina on their own and the
City would not be a partner in the marina. He stated that it
is not only better for his company for the City to acquire a
grant or loan for the marina, but it is also better for the
community.
Mayor/Boardmember Washburn asked if the grant that the City
has made application for is for this marina or another one.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk stated that it would
be for this one and would become the main marina for the Lake.
Councilman/Boardm~mber Alongi ask~d if the developer wi11 mak~
a profit above the cost of the lease. Mr. 0'Byrne stated they
hoped that they would. Councilman/Boardmember Alongi stated
that he felt that it was important for the public to
understand that the developer is doing this for a profit and
PAGE EIGHT - ADJOURNED MINUTES - MAY 31, 1994
not doing this as a favor to the City. He stated that if the
City is going to put up the money to build this marina, then
the developer should pay a lease for the marina. He further
stated that he felt that at the end of the lease the developer
should pay the fair market value of the marina at the time of
sale.
Mayor/Boardmember Washburn asked that the word "shall" be
struck and "May" placed for the sale of the marina.
City Attorney/Legal Counsel Harper explained the terms and how
the marina could be sold.
Mr. O'Byrne stated that they had no problem with the verbiage
"sold at fair market value". He felt that it was more
important to have the marina.
Councilman/BOardmember Alongi questioned the sale of the
marina or even leasing the marina. He stated that he felt
that the marina should be owned and operated by the City and
should not be a part of the hotel.
City Attorney/Legal Counsel Harper explained that on its own
there is no possibility of the City building a marina since
there is no funding source for this type of facility.
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi stated that if the City can
build a ball field, it can find a way to build a marina. City
Attorney/Legal Counsel Harper stated that if the ball field
had not been built, then the City could build a marina, but
there is no available tax increment to build a marina,
therefore, the hotel project would expediate the building of
a marina far faster than the City could.
City Manaqer/Executive Director Molendyk explained that he
felt that it is important for the public and private sector to
work together and he stated since there is no firm plans
regarding the marina, it would not be wise for the City to
commit to a plan that they might not be able to fund. The
type of marina that will be built might be publicly and
privately funded to make the marina a reality. To clarify
with Mr. O'Byrne that a market is beinq created and the
developer is asking some guarantee that the City wouldn't do
a similar project for a hotel conference center for another
hotel. Mr. Molendyk wanted to know if Mr. 0'Byrne meant Hotel
and Conference Center, or do they mean Hotel or Conference
Center. He explained that this project will help the City to
reach its goals and he can see where other hotels will want to
come in to the City.
City Attorney/Leqal Counsel Harper explained that the Agency
or City cannot provide any economic assistance to any other
hotel or conference center, but it does not mean that another
developer can't come in and build one.
Mr. O'Byrne explained that it is only for the term of the
agreement and if the City wishes to pay the debt sooner, then
they are free to provide economic assistance to another
facility.
Mayor Winkler opened the public hearing at 2:29 and asked
those persons interested in addressing the project to address
Council. The following persons spoke:
Will Buck, 29610 Hague, spoke in opposition to the project
since it will block future as~istanee £or other hotel
projects. He explained that he is involved in the possibility
of a hotel on Main Street and this project will block any
assistance they might wish to apply for. He stated that the
PAGE NINE - ADJOURNED MINUTES - MAY 31, 1994
Red Lion Inn does not build unless they will have a 70~
occupancy and just bed tax on 300 rooms will be $459,000 and
that is a lot more than $100,000. He felt that past
performance has shown that this developer is less desirable
than other developers might be. He stated that this City is
on the verge of having a lot of other hotels desiring this
area. He asked Council to hold off on their decision.
City Attorney/Legal Counsel Harper explained that the
agreement does not allow any economic assistance to any other
hotel, but it does not include areas which are subject to a
current disposition development Agreement. He stated that
essentially all of East Lake is not subject to this DDA, but
not the other area.
Councilwoman/Boardmember Cherveny asked what section addresses
this issue. City Attorney/Legal Counsel Harper stated that it
was Section 5.7.
Edith Stafford, stated her objection to the City involving
itself in rush projects. She explained that she felt that
this developer has not followed through with its promises and
has her doubts in regard to this project. She asked that the
Council consider other developers and other hotels. She
stated that she felt that these rush projects occur right at
election time and she Eelt that it is bad judgment on the part
of Council.
Don Summers, 30713 Riverside Drive, stated that he would like '
to see the Red Lion go in, but he felt that there were several
other areas in the community where hotels might build in other
Redevelop Areas. He stated that the funding is like shutting
the door on other developers.
Joyce Smith, 4145 Crestview, stated that timing is very
important and she appreciate what this Council has done and
how much the community has improved. She stated her favor in
building this hotel to improve the community.
Mayor/Boardmember Washburn asked for any other persons who
wish to address the issue to come forward. Hearing none the
public hearing was closed at 2:45 p.m.
Councilman/Chairman Winkler stated that he did feel that this
_ project would block any other hotel from coming into the area.
He stated that this will not block any other hotel, just any
other assistance. Further, this is for the period of the loan
only. He explained that this project will revitalize the end
of Main Street and provide a marina. Mr. Winkler stated that
the Red Lion Inns have a good reputation and will honor their
commitments.

MOVED BY ALONGI, SECONDED BY CHERVENY BY A SUBSIDIARY MOTION TO
POSTPONE THIS ITEM UNTIL THE NEW COUNCIL IS SEATED.
Councilwoman/BOardmember Cherveny stated that she felt that
the llth hour presentation of a DDA Agreement is not good.
She stated that she likes the facility, but she has some
problems with the repayment portion of it. She explained that
she has a real problem with eliminating the City Park because
she felt that it does have some historic value to the City.
She stated that she understood timelines, but she does not
approve of rushing in and approving a project just for budget
purposes of the Red Lion Inn. Councilwoman Cherveny stated
that she would like to see Council take its time and review
all the other facilities that may be coming before Council.
She stated that this should be addressed by the new Council.
Councilman/Boardmember pominguez stated that if anyone had
sentiment toward the City Park he does. He explained that he
was one of the persons who helped to refurbish the City Park.
He commended Mrs. Smith for her opinion and stated that this

preserved because of progress and that must be taken into
account.

school fees.

DI3CIISSION ITEM
1. 1994-95 Fiscal Year Budqet. (F:30.1)
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk opened the budget
discussion noting that this year's budget is beinq formulated
later than usual because of pending final dollar amounts on
the Stadium. He detailed the 1993-94 budget revenue and
expenditures and explained the 1994-95 projections. He noted
the recent impacts of State budget balancing on particularly
the Redevelopment Agency. He further noted that previously
administration costs were charged back to the Redevelopment
Agency, however, this is not longer possible. He indicated
that the proposed budget would utilize $1,465,000 of the
existing reserves. He further indicated that two new par~
time positions are proposed in this budget, being a part time
maintenance person to address the Senior Center and Cultural
Center, and a part time clerical person for Engineering to
assist with the recently implemented parking ticket program.
He also indicated that a Capital Improvement Budqet of
$685,000 is proposed.
Administrative Services Director Boone detailed the Capital
Improvement Project Funds available.
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi requested clarification of the
Street related funds proposed out of the $685,000 and whether
it was only the $200,000. City Manager/Executive Director
Molendyk clarified the programs proposed.
Public Services Director Tecca presented a five year plan to
serve as a wish list and explained the proposed distribution
by priority for this fiscal year, including Main
Street/SUlpher Street Decontamination ($150,000), Spring
Street/Sumner Avenue Decontamination Study ($50,000), Nashland
PAGE TWO - BIIDGET AORRSHOP MINUTES - JIILY 28~ 1994
Avenue Access Improvement ($200,000), Main Street/Lakeshore
Drive Intersection ($30,000), Miscellaneous Street Paving
($200,000) and Curb, Gutter, Sidewalk/Landscaping ($55,500).
Councilman/Boardmember Pape questioned the ability to track
down the past property owners to pay for the soil
decontamination projects. Mr. Tecca indicated that this was
possible, but efforts have been underway for nearly a year
with no success. Mr. Molendyk clarified that the problems to
be decontaminated relate to old gas station tanks. Mr. Tecca
further clarified that massive amounts of fuel have been found
underground and the proposed $50,000 is only for the study to
determine the extent of the problem. Councilman/Boardmember
Alongi inquired whether there was a time limit to address
these items. Mr. Tecca indicated that some progress needs to
be shown. Councilman Alongi inquired whether the $150,000 was
for complete clean up of the problem. Mr. Tecca confirmed.
Mr. Alongi further questioned the need to clean it up this
year. Mr. Tecca indicated that it might be possible to delay
it a year. Councilman/Boardmember Pape questioned the
possibility of allocating half the funds this year and half
next year. Mr. Tecca indicated that this would most likely
impact the repairs to the sidewalk, gutter, and curb after the
decontamination has been completed. Mr. Pape suggested
spreading this cost over two years. Mr. Tecca indicated in
this case, he would prefer to fund the decontamination this
year and the repairs next year. Councilman/Boardmember Alongi
questioned the impact of soil testing on the street. Mr.
Tecca indicated this impact would be minor, and he would not
have a problem with splitting the project into two years.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk indicated that he had
received questions regarding Limited Street and questioned its
status. Mr. Tecca indicated that it is currently under design
for a two lane interim roadway. He further indicated that
there have been many requests for this road, but the money is
not available this year. Mr. Molendyk indicated that the
Council needs to know the costs for items such as this. Mr.
Tecca stressed that this is the first year of a five year
plan. Mr. Molendyk noted the Street Improvement Project and
indicated that it is felt that the Limited Street improvement
should occur with the completion of the Channel. He noted
that Council might want to consider this in lieu of the
Miscellaneous Street Improvements. Councilman/Boardmember
Alongi questioned why this would not be listed as a priority.
Public Services Director Tecca continued to detail item nos.
3 to 6 on the Capital Projects List. The Main
Street/Lakeshore Project ($30,000) is in connection with a
State project for $158,o00e Miscellaneous Street Paving
($200,000) is part of an annual maintenance effort to include
either temporary improvements or repaving projects. He
stressed the need to slurry seal the chip sealed streets. He
detailed the breakdown and proposed streets from these
dollars. He noted that the overlay on Chaney Street was a
minimal patch job and needs to be overlayed again this year.
The curb, gutter, sidewalk work is proposed around schools and
provides the 20% matching funds for SBA 121 funds; the
landscaping in this item is for finishing of Graham Avenue
project.
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi questioned the proposed
PAGE THREE - BODGET WORRSHOP MINUTES - JOLY 28~ 1994
improvements for Illinois Street, and asked whether they were
proposed as temporary with no curb, gutter or sidewalk
improvements. Mr. Tecca confirmed this was the proposal. Mr.
Alongi inquired whether this was the area where Elsinore Ready
Mix is willing to donate the concrete. Mr. Tecca indicated
that it was, however there is approximately $20,000 worth of
design work that would need to be done first. Mr. Alongi
stressed the impact of water run-off in this area and
commented that this was an opportunity to correct the problem.
City Manager Molendyk explained the "other items" proposed for
funding including carpet, painting, repair work on City Hall,
Community Center refurbishing and paintinq, replacement of
high mileage vehicles, four-wheel drive vehicle for heavy
rains and other emergency situations, and a minimal economic
program to remain visible and competitive. He noted that the
City newsletter and Autumnfest are proposed to be eliminated.
He noted that the Stadium and its operation have only the
consideration of concession revenue for maintenance, besides
the $600,000 to supplement the fist year of operations. He
stressed efforts to work toward self-sufficiency on the part
of the Stadium. With regard to studies he further explained
that the General Plan update is pursuant to a State
requirement, the Lake Elsinore Specific Plan was required by
the State as part of the Lake transfer, the Annexation 66
filing fee to LAFCO is to maintain the City's sphere of
influence, and the Cultural Center funds related to
performances to which the City has already committed.
Councilman/BOardmember Pape questioned what performances are
proposed. Community Services Director Sapp indicated that
there is a Shakespearean event to include two performances and
a workshop; and also another performance group Por a series of
performances.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk indicated that the
budget as proposed would take approximately $2.5 million from
reserves to balance and leave approximately $780,000 in
reserves. Councilman/Boardmember Alongi questioned any other
items which might come up this fiscal year. Mr. Molendyk
indicated that some questions remain regarding the After
School Program and the July 4th program. He further indicated
that the reserves are generally for unanticipated items such
as heavy rains, litigation, etc. He noted that while he is
not totally comfortable with the proposed level of reserves,
the organization has been downsized three times in the last
four years and capital items have not been replaced during
that period. Councilman/Boardmember Alongi expressed concern
with the small amount of reserves and questioned what happens
if major problems occur. Mayor/Boardmember Washburn indicated
that this situation would require that something else be cut.
He noted the budget as presented does not take in to account
other funding such as the $1/2 million for the Lake. He
suggested that the four-wheel drive vehicle, the Lake Edge
Specific Plan and other professional items could be funded
from that fund. Mr. Molendyk indicated that this was true
however, it is important to replace that revenue.
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chairman Bender expressed an overall
concern with dipping into the reserves excessively, and
approving a budget for more than the prior year's. He
expressed further concern with the potential for very minimal
reserves in next year's budget and noted the potential for
PAGE FOUR - BIIDGET WORRSHOP MENQTES - JULY 28~ 1994
serious revenue generation problems. He indicated that he
would like to look at deletion of some items to reduce the
impact on the reserves for this year, while working to secure
additional revenue sources for next year. He suggested not
doing as many items and reviewing the budgeted amounts. He
indicated that he may have suggestions for reductions.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk stressed the
importance of not spending more than is available. He
indicated that he could go back and delete some refurbishing;
and while it is not imperative to do economic development, it
is the only thing to allow forward movement on drawing new
revenue to the community. He further indicated that it might
be possible to reevaluate the Stadium maintenance and
operations, and go back and look at what special studies are
priorities, as well as looking at what could be delayed. He
noted that the Lightinq and Landscape Maintenance program as
proposed is balanced for providing street lights, median
landscaping, park maintenance, etc.
Mayor/Boardmember Washburn questioned the Graham Avenue
Landscaping and whether it is on individual meters. He
questioned whether consideration was being given to placing it
on the same system as Main Street. Mr. Molendyk clarified
that it was originally planned to be on the master system,
however, after Council discussion was placed on individual
meters; he indicated that it could be reevaluated for
conversion to the master system. Mr. Tecca indicated that
this conversion would cost approximately $200,000. Mayor
Washburn inquired what problems exist with the turf in place.
Public Works Manager Payne indicated that the problems are due
to individual property owners watering levels.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk detailed the current
fund balances and recommended expenditures for the Lake.
Manager of Special Projects Watenpaugh noted the obligation on
January 1, 1995 to take over 1/2 of the Lake Patrol function
for the Lake. He explained that the budget addresses a full
time maintenance and operations person and part time staff to
assist that person, as approved mid-year last year. He also
explained that the budget includes miniraal odor control and
treatraent for general maintenance of the Lake, and does not
include water quality control for the entire lake. He
stressed this budget includes minimal requirements for
operations.
Mayor/Boardmember Washburn inquired whether the Lake Edge
Specific Plan was the most important item for this year. Mr.
Watenpaugh indicated that it was important in connection with
the Master Plan.
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chairman Bender noted that the largest
expense was for contractual services and questioned what this
would include. Mr. Watenpaugh indicated that this was for
Sheriff or State Patrol services. City Manager/Executive
Director Molendyk noted that one proposal was received from
the Sheriff for full staff, but they are currently looking at
getting a boat from the Colorado River and using Overtime
officers. Captain Yankee further explained the review underway
on the proposal, noting that the original proposal seemed too
high. He explained that the next proposal will include use of
reserve and overtime officers. Mr. Watenpaugh further
PAGB FIVE - BIIDGET WORRSHOP MIN[TTES - JIILY 28~ 1994
explained that the figure includes ongoing health department
testing and completion of the Boating and Waterways Grant
Application.
Administrative Services Director Boone detailed the
Redevelopment Agency Budget, estimating a carry over of
$172,000, from Fiscal Year 1993/94. Councilman/BOardmember
Alongi inquired whether there would be any additional costs
for the ball field. Mr. Molendyk indicated that staff is
optimistic that the dollars already allocated will be
sufficient. Mr. Boone clarified that the estimated final cost
for the Stadium is $22.1 million and some decisions are still
pending.
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chairman Bender commented on the $600,000
to come from the Water District and suggested that an
alternative timinq for the expenditure be worked out with the
District. Mr. Boone indicated that he could approach thera.
Councilman/Chairman Pape noted that more Redevelopment Agency
reserves are anticipated at the end of the year than at the
beginning. Mr. Boone indicated that this was only if all
items remain as stated. Mayor/Boardmember Washburn noted that
it would be nice to get the tax increment built up to assist.
City Manager Molendyk noted other impacts on this year's
budget are that some Assessed Valuations are anticipated to be
going down; and the lobbyist has informed the City that the
State has balanced its budget without impacting the cities
further, at least until after the November Election.
Mayor/BOardxnember Washburn inquired in that the Council sets
policy and provides direction, what is the most direct line
for the Lake to generate the most money. He inquired whether
enforcement on users, special events, or proper zoning would
be the best approach to make it a greater revenue source.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk indicated that it was
important to look at the Lake in the next year. He noted that
launching helped, but water elevation became a problem;
special events bring business, but this is not a direct
revenue source for the City. He noted that under the State
Park agreement it is paying out more than it is bringing in,
so the agreement needs to be reevaluated. He further noted
that enforcement could generate revenue, but does not help to
promote the Lake and was not a big source of dollars for the
State. Mr. Watenpaugh clarified that the State did not
receive funds from enforcement, as all of 'those dollars went
to the Courts. He indicated that launching is the best
resource, but local enforcement of fishing regulations and
possible implementation of a day use fishing fee, possibly $2,
could also assist with revenue. He noted that improved water
quality will also assist, in making the Lake an improved
source of revenue.
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chairman Bender inquired whether
hotel/motel type occupancy tax can be assessed on the marinas
and campgrounds. Mr. Molendyk indicated that this could only
be placed on facilities within City limits, but a new law does
allow for assessment on R.V.'s; this could be looked at as a
new revenue source. Mayor Washburn concurred that this source
PAGE SI% - BIIDGET WORRSHOP MINIITES - JIILY 28~ 1994
should be considered. Councilman/Boardmember Alongi inquired
why the City could not charge any one who fishes on the Lake,
whether on public or private property, to pay a fee. He
indicated that he has a problem with anyone using the Lake
without paying a fee. He suggested an annual fishing permit
fee, similar to the annual boating pass fee. Mr. Watenpaugh
indicated that he could obtain verification from the City
Attorney, but the $5 day use fee is for use of a boat on the
Lake; he was not certain whether this could address use of
private property. He noted that the difficulty with this
might be in verifying property lines. Mr. Alongi questioned
the State's position on property lines and water levels. Mr.
Watenpaugh indicated that this related to the State's
enforcement rights. Councilman Alongi inquired whether the
City would have the same rights, since the City is paying for
fish. Mr. Watenpaugh indicated that he would research this
matter and provide a report to Council.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk stressed that this
budget is based on the prior year's level of service. He
noted that last year more money was given to non-profit
organizations and stressed the need for Council policy in this
area. He noted the "user pays" requirement and indicated that
the staff needs direction on how to deal with non-profit
groups and their use of City facilities. He stressed the need
for that policy direction to come from this budget process,
noting that the small amounts do add up.
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chairman Bender inquired how much this
amounted to last year. Community Services Director Sapp
indicated that it was over $25,000 last year. Councilman Pape
questioned the timing for budget requests. Mr. Molendyk
clarified the type of assistance requested and indicated that
the budget proposes the same amounts for the same groups. He
indicated that addressing this as part of the budget process
will solve problems later. Mayor Washburn noted the
difficulty in providing blanket policy direction. Mr.
Molendyk concurred but stressed that these items do come up
every year, after the budget has been approved.
Councilman/BOardmember Alongi suggested that the best approach
was to assist organizations with 501 status only, noting that
possibly a bulk amount could be budgeted and requests could
only be approved as long as funds were still available. Mayor
Pro Tem/Vice Chairman Bender questioned the advisability of
this, suggesting that the events be cut out or the fees be
cut. He suggested that an equitable fee be established and
all groups be required to pay it. Councilman/Boardmember
Alongi stressed that this should only be for Lake Elsinore
non-profit groups. He noted that the City has previously
helped organizations in Temecula, and it should really only be
organizations that help a majority of Lake Elsinore residents
that receive funding. Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chairman Bender
suggested that picking and choosing between organizations
should be avoided. He reiterated that a reasonable fee
structure should be established and all groups charged
equally. Councilman Alongi indicated that the Community
Center usage was not hard dollars, because a staff person is
always present anyway; he noted that a parade is a different
situation. Mayor Pro Tem Bender stressed the importance of
recouping the revenue. Mr. Alongi indicated that this was an
entirely different situation, of revenue versus services the
PAGE SEVEN - BIIDGET WORRSHOP MINQTES - JOLY 28~ 1994
taxpayers have paid for already. He stressed that 501 status
groups like H.O.P.E., School Bell and the Friends of the
Library provide a service and all residents have equal
opportunity to participate. Mr. Bender indicated that he was
looking at the general philosophy. Mayor Washburn noted that
this was a question of special needs versus hard dollars.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk commented that in the
past the Council/Redevelopment Agency have not had a set group
of goals to agree on. He stressed the importance of an
economic plan and financial plan, and five or six major goals,
with the entire Council buying in to a set program. He
indicated that staff could develop a list of major goals for
discussion at the next meeting.
Councilman/Chairman Pape inquired whether the $80,000 in
C.D.B.G. funds was the allocation for the Yarborough Park
improvements to be started this date. Staff confirmed. He
questioned the ADA retro£it requirements. Mr. Sapp indicated
that these are required by January of 1995, with new
playground equipment and handicap accessibility.
Councilman/Chairman Pape indicated that he was looking for any
funds which could be used to address the Lake, particularly
park or sand areas along the Lake. Mr. Sapp that there are
some dollars allocated for Lakeshore Drive areas. Mr.
Watenpaugh commented that the City is now maintaining and
watering, where possible, fertilizing and mowing; and the
grass is starting to grow. He noted that part time staff is
also being recruited to address this are. Mr. Pape indicated
that he has been down to that area and much of it does not
have grass and sprinklers are needed; he questioned the
possibility of allocating money to provide additional
improvements. Mr. Watenpaugh suqgested lookinq at available
C.D.B.G. funds for next year. City Manager/Executive Director
Molendyk indicated that there are some park in-lieu fees
available for new projects. Mr. Boone confirmed that there is
$86,000 available. Mr. Pape indicated this would be a start
for the items discussed. Councilman/Boardmember Alongi
stressed that there is no nice park along the Lake. Mr.
Molendyk noted Lakepoint Park. Mr. Alongi indicated that he
meant a park with access to the Lake. Mr. Molendyk indicated
that staff will bring back a proposal. Mr. Bender suggested
deweeding a section and placing sand. Mr. Alongi suggested a
children's,area with swings, etc. Mr. Watenpaugh indicated
that this could be done, but if it is deweeded and sand is
placed it is an improvement and handicapped access
improvements will also be required. Mayor/Boardmember
Washburn noted that there are individual lots in the area
which could be acquired for e~ansion.
Mayor/Boardruember Washburn commented that there are other
projects which receive City dollars, such as Kids on Track,
which is provided to assist the School District, but is not
cost effective. He noted that this might be an area to save
dollars to allocate more cost effectively and better benefit
the overall community.
Councilman Pape indicated that he has spoken with the School
District President regardinq the possibility of joint funding
of this program. He inquired of Captain Yankee whether he
believes the Nashland Street Improvement Project will help to
eliminate the problems, noting that his area has cul-de-sacs
PAGE EIGHT - BIIDGET NORRSHOP ffiIN[JTES - JOLY 28~ 1994
and he always thought that was preferable. Captain Yankee
indicated that he was asked about possible options and the
best option. He indicated that the project could possibly be
delayed, however the property is available now. He stressed
that he believed that this was the "best" answer, but not the
"only" answer. I.;.
Councilman Alongi indicated that he doesn't believe the street
improvement will eliminate the problem, noting that. many
streets are cul-de-sacs. He stressed that this is a problem
area with an element to be eliminated. He indicated that he
would prefer to work with and assist the owners to compensate
for the density and design problems which are inherent.
Mayor/Boardmember Washburn indicated that this discussion
gives perspective to the situation, while much of the problem
relates to absentee landowners and a multitude of other items
on Nashland, the same problems are not prevalent in single-
family owned residential areas. He stressed the need to go
after the business licenses for multi-family users. He noted
that the street improvement is a quick fix to break open the
area. Councilman/Chairman Pape indicated that he would
rather see increased enforcement in the area. Mayor/
Boardmember Washburn disagreed indicating that it is important
to change the character of the traffic flow through the area.
Captain Yankee stressed the complexity of this situation and
offered to provide more details at the next discussion.
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chairman Bender commented overall he would
like to see the deletion of some items, but stressed the
importance of maintaining existing facilities. He noted that
trades between projects could occur, with some being postponed
until warranted.
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi expressed disappointment that
additional police and fire services are not being addressed.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk noted that attempts
are being made through special enforcement and funds are being
reviewed to address the fire station.

Mayor Washburn asked whether the City has programs that are
well established or are more programs suggested.
City Manager Molendyk explained that proposed programs address
Special Events such as the boat race and other such programs.
Mayor Washburn suggested that there be more activities to
utilize the Cultural Center.
City Manager Molendyk reminded Council that the City has
increased its facilities and not its management, and noted
that there are activities planned at the Cultural Center, as
well as making the facility available for weddings.
Mayor Washburn asked if the section that addresses GIS
includes training for staff. City Manager Molendyk stated
that he would address that.
Councilman Bender commended staff for the list of Goals and
Objectives. He stated that goals and objectives save time and
money. He suggested that staff should be authorized to
address the issues such as the ski school and the tour
business that were before Council at the last meeting.
Councilman Bender suggested that if the different businesses
present their applications to the City they should approach
staff in a business-like manner, with a complete business plan
and draft contracts for staff to review. Staff should not be
expected to provide these items for the applicants. He
explained that if the prospective businesses do not have all
their information in order, then staff should not deal with
them and they should not appear before City Council without a
complete package. He stated that it is a waste of time for
the City Council, City Attorney and staff.
Councilman Bender commented on the list of Capital
Improvements Projects which are needed in the next five years
and noted the Council should pick the ones that they wish to
see done. He stated that he approved of this method, since
the Council is then made aware of the needs of the City. He
indicated he felt that Public Services Director Tecca should
set the priority since he has the expertise to determine which
PAGE FOUR - BODGET STIIDY SESSION - AIIGOST 22~ 1994
projects are most needed. Councilman Bender explained that
this gives the City the benefit of proper planning and
scheduling.
City Manager Molendyk stated that one of the other things that
Councilman Bender noted last Friday was the amount of trash
which accumulates along the lake edge both along Lakeshore
Drive and as viewed from a boat on the lake in various other
areas. He explained that Council might want to look at more
signage and enforcement along the lake edge to address this
problem. City Manager Molendyk stated that Councilman Alongi
has questioned the distance that chain link fence should go
out along the property line on the lake edge.
Mayor Washburn stated that he felt that Council would give no
argument regarding the clean-up along the lake edge. He
explained that this is a problem that needs to be addressed
since it is so visible.
Councilman Alongi commented to Councilman Bender that the City
is the public servant and Lake Elsinore is only a City of
24,000. He indicated that the City cannot e~tpect small
businesses to come into the City and spend thousands of
dollars in the preparation of the business reports previously
mentioned. He stated that he doubted that the ski school
would be in existence if the owner of the business had to come
up with the money to provide the business financial profile or
proposed contracts. Councilman Alongi explained that the main
trust of the community is to get the small businesses in
operation to attract the large businesses. He stated that it
is counter productive to require the same information from a
small business as would be required of a Wal-Mart or a Red
Lion involving millions of dollars and many acres of land for
their investment. He explained that if the City required the
businesses on Main Street to provide architectural drawings,
engineering reports, and financial reports then Main Street
would not have been done. Main Street exists because the City
does serve the public through a special program which did not
require them to expend a great deal of money. He stated that
the City provided low interest loans for improvements.
Councilman Alongi addressed the Capital Improvement Project
and stated that Council is elected and part of their campaign
is based on making certain improvements to the City. He
commented that while Mr. Tecca is a knowledgeable person and
recognizes the projects, he does not understand the needs of
the people and the things that they would wish to see
addressed first. He suggested that it is the Council's job
because they are in touch with the community and respond to
the needs. He explained that it is not up to staff, but
rather the Council to meet the public's wants, needs and
desires.
City Manager Molendyk noted that as an example, the small
business man who wished to set up a tour service was very ill-
prepared and the information provided was not adequate. He
explained that in regard to small businesses, if there was a
simple rendering provided, and not what would be expected of
Wal-Mart, then the staff would be more prepared to give
quidance in regard to color and style; and prevent improper
information being brought before Council.
Mayor Washburn stated that when he was teaching in Junior
PAGE FIVE - BODGET STIIDY SESSION - AIIGIIST 22~ 1994
College he would not accept an incomplete paper or project and
required his students to take it back and do it over. He
further stated that he would not expect staff to accept an
in incomplete project; but the case of the tour businesses,
staff did not accept the project and the applicant of the tour
agency did bring it to Council in protest of staff's decision.
He stated that it took the consensus of Council to rule that
the project was not complete.
City Manager Molendyk stated that the reason the tour business
was brought before Council was because it was pushed by a
former Councilmember and the only way to resolve it was to
bring it before Council for a decision.
Councilman Pape stated that Council does not want to
discourage small business coming to Lake Elsinore, but on the
other hand when they are not prepared, staff can lend a
helping hand and list the things that they would need to
complete their package for final submittal.
City Manager Molendyk stated that in the past Council has been
approached by business owners wishing to hurry their projects
in order to open for business and have submitted less than
complete packages. He stated that the City is a business and
should be run in a business-like manner.
Mayor Washburn stated that sometimes staff tends to drag their
feet and tends to block an issue and that's when Council gets
involved and comes down on staff. He explained that it works
both ways. Mayor Washburn commented that he feels that 85$ of
the time staff follows the guidelines and policies; and they
are conveyed to the applicant. He stated that the other
percentage of the time is when Council gets involved.
Councilman Bender stated that he felt that Councilman Alongi
and he do agree on many things, but clarified that business
plans are not expensive. He further e~lained that it is an
outline of business items and will assist in the success of
the business. Councilman Bender stated that this is a form of
preliminary homework to help the business succeed. He further
stated that it is the City's responsibility to encourage and
help the applicant, but they must do the foundation work for
themselves He explained that he wants big and small
businesses in the City, but they must be responsible for doing
all the things necessary to accomplish that objective.
Councilman Bender stated that he supports the ski school, but
feels that they must do their homework to be successful and
properly use the lake.
Councilman Pape questioned the Goals and Objectives, and
stated that he did not see the Limited Street Bridge listed.
City Manager Molendyk stated that it would be part of the
Capital Improvement Project List.
B. PROPOSED BIIDGET - FISCAL YEAR 1994/95. (F:30.1)
City Manager Molendyk stated that at the last budget meeting
staff had indicated for revenue the City would have a savings
of $500,000, but now there is an additional $200,000 so there
will be an ending General Fund balance of $790,000. He
PAGE SI% - BUDGET STIIDY SESSION - AIIGUST 22~ 1994
e~lained that for 94/95 the City is looking at a revenue of
$8,500,000 with expenditures estimated at $9,964,000 which
means that the City will have to go into the reserves for
$1,464,000. City Manager Molendyk stated that the
Redevelopment Agency has always contracted to the City for
administration, however because of the costs to the RDA in the
last year some of the functions are now being absorbed by the
General Fund. City Manager Molendyk then detailed the items
which could be removed from the budget for a total savings of
$173,600. He made special note of the costs of General Law
Enforcement and stated that the City would retain the current
level of service; and pointed out the possible need to retain
the lobbyist. He requested Council comments with regard to
the proposed reductions in Exhibit "A".
Councilman Pape asked how long the City has had the Lobbyist.
City Manager Molendyk stated that he has been under contract
for three years. Councilman Pape asked if he has created
benefits for the City. City Manager Molendyk explained that
he was active and instrumental in the transfer of the Lake,
information on a weekly basis regarding the State Legislature
and State Budget, representation on Water Quality issues for
the City (regarding Title 22) and now he is working on a one-
time allocation of $1,000,000 for a boat launch for the Lake.
City Manager Molendyk stated that he feels the Lobbyist is
vital for intergovernmental relations.
Councilman Pape asked if we tell the lobbyist what we want to
see accomplished in the City, he can look around Sacramento to
see if he can acquire the funding. City Manager Molendyk
stated that that is just one of his purposes. He cited as an
example that the lobbyis~ is currently working on trying to
get the three million dollars that the City was suppose to
receive back from the State for the Lake from the 1976 Bond
Act. City Manager Molendyk explained that if the Chief of
Police asked that certain issues be addressed and the present
law would not allow for those actions, the lobbyist would be
the person who would work toward getting a piece of
legislation through the system, by seeking an Assemblyman or
Senator to present a Bill to aid the City is responding to the
problems that need to be addressed.
Councilman Pape asked if it would be more appropriate to go
through the lobbyist than to go to the Assemblyman or State
Senator. Mayor Washburn stated that it woulde He explained
that fie has been involved with the City lobbyist and he was
very effective in the Lake Transfer, as well as now trying to
recover the money from the 1976 Bond Act.
City Manager Molendyk stated that the current lobbyist, Mr.
Arnold, also represents the Cities of Anaheim and Long Beach.
Mayor Washburn stated that although he is in favor of funding
more money to the GIS program, he feels that he would take the
funds from that project to fund the Lobbyist. &ie explained
that he is worth the money for the things that he accomplishes
for the City.
Councilman Alongi stated that the Lobbyist is necessary in
current times and he feels that Mr. Arnold is worth the money.
Councilman Alongi stated his concerns regarding use of the
PAGE SEVEN - BUDGET STUDY SESSION - AIIGIIST 22, 1994
City Attorney and asked for more information regarding the
type of calls that the City Attorney would respond to the
public. He suggested that an application for information to
the public be submitted for each department, and then the
department can check to see if it is legal to release the
information rather than the public calling the City Attorney
to acquire information. He explained that he felt that this
could be better handled at a staff level.
Councilman Alongi commended Code Enforcement and stated that
he does not want to see those services cut because they aid
the Sheriff's Department. City Manager Molendyk stated that
when he started with the City it had a population of 9,000 and
now it has a population of 25,000 and the level of service has
been maintained during that time. He explained that this is
a recommendation to supplement what the City has at this time.
He noted that the City is carrying $100,000 in the budget for
abatement of buildings and once the budget is approved, that
money is gone. Iie stated that this item can be brought back
at mid-year budget, but at this time there will be more board-
ups because the current budget is out of money and as soon as
the proposed budget is approved the money is spent to finish
the abatement of the current boarded up structures which have
been waiting for fundinq to be abated.
Councilman Alongi questioned the cut of $30,000 and stated
that he does not want to see the extra funds cut from Code
Enforcement. City Manager Molendyk pointed out that this
would reduce the funds that he felt should be available in the
reserves, but it is up to Council to establish the amount of
reserves that they wish to maintain. Councilman Alongi stated
he does want to see the City increase its reserves, but he
does not want to see the service to the community reduced to
increase them. He explained that public safety is a major
responsibility of Council and the extra $30,000 is not that
great an impact on the general reserves.
Councilman Pape stated that the City Attorney works for the
City Council and if the staff informs the public that the
information that they request is not for release, then this
matter should not go to the City Attorney, but rather the
Council at a regular meeting or to the Manager. He stated
that if the public wished to speak to the City,Attorney, they
could make a deposit with the City and the charges could be
taken from the deposit to reimburse the City Attorney for his
time. City Manager Molendyk stated that he would have to
consult with the City Attorney in regard to the legality of
this approach.
Mayor Washburn stated that under the Public Information Act
the public has the right to approach the City Attorney for
inforntation and they cannot be charged. He explained that the
City is paying for too many charges from the City Attorney,
for questions that the City should not pay for. Mayor
Washburn stated that if the Council does not like what the
press is reporting, they should stop talking to them and force
them to attend the public hearings and the City Attorney can
address them at that time.
Councilman Bender questioned the $30,000 for the lobbyist.
City Manager Molendyk stated that the lobbyist was included in
PAGE EIGHT - BIIDGET STUDY SESSION - AUGIIST 22~ 1994
the budget and Exhibit "A11 shows that he was removed from the
budget to shave more money from the budget to allow for a
greater amount to be placed in the reserves. Councilman
Bender stated that he did agree with Councilman Alongi
regarding the request forms for the public and the City should
utilize the cost recovery program. He asked if the Sheriff~s
Department would pick up any slack if the City does reduce the
amount originally allocated to Code Enforcement. City Manager
Molendyk explained that the CSO's enforce anything that has to
do with public property or public right-of-way and Code
Enforcement deals with private property; and Captain Yankee is
going to work with the City to have Community Service Officers
deal with weekend sales.
Councilman Alongi commented on the striping of the streets and
noted that in some areas in other cities, the asphalt is
ground and a tape is placed to mark crosswalks. He stated
that the tapes reflect at night and are permanent. He asked
if we could use this program in the City. Public Services
Director Tecca stated that the plastic striping lasts about
four times longer than paint, but it is very expensive and
should be used for an ultimate improvement only such as
Railroad Canyon Road. He stated that the majority of areas
that are painted are due to a lack of funds for that area or
the fact that the street striping will ultimately be changed.
Councilman Alongi asked if the City had received a new
contract with Animal Control. City Manager Molendyk stated
that there is one year left with the Animal Control contract
and what is reflected in the budget is an increase for cost of
living.
City Manager Molendyk recapped the desires of Council. He
requested confirmation that the $30,000 each for Code
Enforcement and the lobbyist were added back in to the budget.
Councilman Alongi stated that he would like to see some type
of program where the turn around time for the recovery of
funds for abatement can be made faster.
There was general discussion regarding allowing an extra
$15,000 for Code Enforcement. City Manager Molendyk explained
that there is an additional $100,000 in abatement recovery and
some of it will be generated back in during the year. He
stated that the $15,000 could be placed in the Code
Enforcement budget at this time for the issue be brought back
at mid-year and the monies generated from the abatement
recovery be placed into that fund as well.
Mayor Washburn asked the City Manger for a memo showing what
the $100,000 outstanding in abatement recovery is for, and
also a list of all the properties that are waiting for
abatement.
Mayor Washburn asked what the "Further Define Programs for
1994-95" for the GIS meant on Exhibit 11A"e Acting Chief
Building Official Russell explained that there are no goals or
objectives for the GIS and no roles set for the personnel to
operate the GIS. He explained that there is a need to address
the goals and objectives for this proqram.
City Manager Molendyk explained a portion of Exhibit "B"
PAGE NINE - BIIDGET STODY SESSION - AIIGIIST 22~ 1994
regarding Capital Items and Other Item Funding. He asked
Public Works Manager Payne to explained the improvements for
the Public Works Yard. Public Works Manager Payne explained
that what he is proposing to do is build a 5,000 square foot
steel building which would be used for a vehicle maintenance
shop as well as a warehouse facility as well as paving the
rest of the yard. He stated that the three buildings which
are currently in use were built in the 1940's and the SCJPIA
has suggested replacement
Councilman Alonqi asked how much savings there would be if an
office space was not built. Mr. Payne stated that it would be
approximately $5,000 in savings. Councilman Alongi asked how
much could be saved if the paving was not done this year. Mr.
Payne explained that there is a current flooding problem and
if the buildings were done and the paving was not done, there
would still be the problem of flooding. Councilman Alongi
asked if the building could be elevated at the time of
building and DG placed, to postpone the paving until next
year. Mr. Payne stated that it is a possibility. Councilman
Alongi stated that it would save $40,000 to put the paving off
until next year, and explained that it would create quite a
savings for this fiscal year. He explained that he knows that
it has to be done, but he feels that the paving can be put off
for one more year.
City Manager Molendyk stated that the City Yard has taken a
back seat to other projects for several years and needs to
have attention. He invited Council to go to Public Works and
view the facility.
Councilman Alongi agreed, but stated that there is a tight
budget this year and the dollars need to be shifted around to
give the public the proper service they deserve. He explained
that what he is proposing is that Public Works still qet the
buildinq and office, but the paving will not directly affect
the project, if they lay base aqgregate and then DG which will
receive the asphalt for next year. He stated that he is only
addressing the paving.
Councilman Bender stated that he was in full agreement with
Councilman Alongi.
Councilman Pape asked what kind of damage would occur from
erosion if the asphalt is put off for a year. Councilman
Alongi stated that there would be none if it is graded and
packed correctly.
Mayor Washburn stated that he felt that the building would be
sufficient for this year, and if there is surplus at a later
date then the paving can be completed as well.
City Manager Molendyk e~lained that CDBG funds can be used to
retro-fit the bathrooms at the Community Center and that
amount has been eliminated. Councilman Alongi questioned the
use of CDBG funds to fix the Community Center. He stated that
he does not dispute the needs of the Community Center, but he
would like to see more information regarding the cost and more
information regarding the housinq program which requires some
CDBG funds.
Mayor Washburn asked if that would be covered by the set-aside
PAGE TEN - BIIDGET STIIDY SESSION - AIIGIIST 22~ 1994
money for this fiscal year. City Manager Molendyk stated that
the Housing Program being discussed will have to be allocated
from RDA. He explained that the trend of the budget for the
next couple of years is to take care of what the City already
has.
Mayor Washburn asked if the allocation that the City is
allowed to use of CDBG monies for social groups will be held
and not be used for the Community Center.
Community Services Manager Best explained that this has been
proposed to the County and it would not affect this years
budget, but is proposed for the following year and would be at
Council's choice.
There was general discussion regarding the up-grading of the
Community Center and the need to make the improvements to meet
State requirements.
City Manager Molendyk stated that there are no commitments
being made, and explained that this is an alternate resource.
Councilman Alongi suggested that since there is a need for
funds to provide other services; and the 4 Wheel Drive vehicle
is not necessary at this time, since its primary use is for
the rainy season only and can be postponed for a year.
Mayor Washburn stated that if a choice had to be made, he
would rather the Sedan be eliminated and the 4 Wheel drive
vehicle kept in. Councilman Alongi stated that either way one
should be put off until next year to save $20,000.
City Manager Molendyk stated tha~ policy in the past was for
the City to turn over vehicles at 60,000 to 65,000 miles to
retain a trade in value. He stated that now they are kept
from 70,000 to 100,000 miles before trade in. He explained
that the 4 Wheel Drive vehicle was proposed because of the
heavy rains and the fact that there are still 48 street miles
in the City that are dirt as well as the levy. City Manager
Molendyk explained that due to the State budget, if the items
are not purchased this year, it will be several years before
they can be purchased. He cautioned that all areas of
financing are going to get tighter.
Councilman Alongi stated that if the City wishes to buy both
vehicles, then it is fine with him as long as money is
allocated to Code Enforcement and the Lobbyist.
Councilman Bender asked if the 4 Wheel Drive vehicle could
replace one of the 5-10 vehicles for next year. City Manager
Molendyk stated that one of the Sedans, the Public Works
Manager is686Xcurrent3.g~ing would be used as a trade in for the
4 Wheel Drive and then Public Works rilanager Payne would be
assigned the vehicle since he is in charge of Public Works
Maintenance.
Councilman Pape asked how many miles the current 5-10's have
on them. Public Works Manager Payne stated that they
currently have approximately 60,00o miles each.
Councilman Alongi stated that he cannot see replacing a
regular vehicle with a 4 Wheel Drive and then have it used as
PAGE ELEVEN - BIIDGET STIIDY SESSION - AIIGOST 22~ 1994
a regular vehicle. He explained that this type of vehicle is
expensive to operate and maintain, and is a special vehicle
for special uses. He stated that if that type of vehicle is
needed it can be rented and he felt that type of vehicle is
not as necessary as some of the other services that are
required by the City.
City Manager Molendyk stated that the 4 Wheel Drive Vehicle is
something that the City would like to have and it is
specialized. He stated that there is a 4 Wheel Drive in the
Lake Budget, but if the Council does not want it, then there
is no need to use the funds from the Lake Budget. Councilman
Alongi stated that it is not so much a matter of not wanting
the vehicle, but rather where the greater need is. He stated
that if there are funds in the budget for the Lake, perhaps
the vehicle can be used for both purposes.
Mayor Washburn addressed the content of the newsletter and
stated that it should be published twice a year instead of
quarterly. He stated that it is important to the public to
know what the City is doing.
Councilman Alongi asked what the $5,000 for Promotions is used
for. City Manager Molendyk explained that it is proposed to
use these funds for hosting two different events; one, for
bankers to visit the City and include a lunch which will
promote investments in Lake Elsinore; and two, an effort to
focus on certain businesses to encourage them to locate in
Lake Elsinore.
Councilman Alongi asked if the Banner Program includes putting
up and taking down the Chamber of Commerce's banners. City
Manager Molendyk stated that it does.
Councilman Alongi stated that he agreed with the Mayor that
the Newsletter is an item which should be done twice a year to
keep the public informed. He explained that he felt that the
Chamber of Commerce was going to have to start pulling their
own weight in the community and absorb the cost of the Banner
Program. He further felt that the Promotions portion is
necessary. Councilman Alongi stated that he felt that the
City is doing more things for the Chamber of Commerce that
they should be doing themselves. He explained that it is not
fair to continue those programs, when the City needs to
continue programs for the entire community, and not just a
small sector of the community.
Councilman Bender stated that the information in the
Newsletter is generally six months old. He suggested that it
might be better to use the Community Services Brochure which
is published quarterly and incorporate a section of that
bulletin for the RDA Newsletter. He explained that it would
save mailing and printing costs. City Manager Molendyk stated
that the best promotion in the City is word of mouth and he
would encourage the Council to go out and tell the public that
it is great.
Mayor Washburn stated that staff should look at the
possibility of incorporating the Newsletter with the Community
Services Brochure.
Councilman Alongi stated that if the City has to tighten its
PAGE TWELVE - BiTDGET STIIDY SESSYON - AIIGUST 22s 1994
belt, then the organizations that the City has supported need
to tighten their belts as we11 and that is why he felt that
the Banner Program should be eliminated for this year.
Councilman Alongi questioned what the 10 Programs at the
Cultural Center would be. Community Services Manager Best
explained that what the budget proposal includes is two
performances by a Shakespearean Theater troop as well as an
art workshop with the high school and elementary school
students in the drama area. She further explained that it
includes two performances by the Hampstead Theater Troop
(children's oriented theater). Councilman Alongi asked if
there would be a charge for these performances. Community
Services Manager Best explained that the children's theater
would be held during the day at minimal cost to encourage
student participation. She further explained that the other
performances would be at night and on weekends, and there
would be a charge to defer some of the costs. Councilman
Alongi questioned the performances including the School
District and stated that he felt that this should generate
funds since that is what the building is intended for. He
stated that the Community Center is for general use and the
Cultural Center is special and should support itself. Mrs.
Best explained that the children's theater is for the entire
community, sponsored by the City and is not a School District
activity. Councilman Alongi asked if the $8,200 is
recoverable. Mrs. Best stated that approximately 80~ would be
recovered.
Mayor Washburn encouraged Community Services to promote
Weddings. Ae stated that there is a need for a place to hold
weddings and the Cultural Center is perfect for such an
occasion, and this would also generate income. Councilman
Alongi stated that he agreed with the Mayor, and inquired
whether a cost for use of the Cultural Center had been
established. Mrs. Best stated that her department has been in
the process based on the cost of holding the Council Meetings
in the building on a twice monthly basis.
City Manager Molendyk explained there is a Master Plan for
bike lanes once the General Plan is adopted. He further
explained the CIP Funds available for appropriation.
Mayor Washburn asked about Limited Street. Public Services
Director Tecca explained that a design is underway to place a
two lane interim improvement from Graham to Main Street. He
clarified that all the projects proposed in the budget are
subject to Council approval.
Mayor Washburn questioned the best alternative for the Limited
Street Bridge without changing things for the future. He
stated that at this time it is one lane and has little traffic
and if it is a two lane road it will generate a lot of traffic
and potential problems.
Public Services Director Tecca stated that in the General Plan
it calls for a major arterial around the Lake and he has
suggested a two lane with bike trails all around the Lake.
Councilman Alongi stated that he felt it should be a two lane
roadway to prevent the plug that has occurred as well as to
improve public safety. He explained that he felt that the
PAGB THIRTEEN - BIIDGET STUDY SESSZON - AUGIIST 22~ 1994
e~enditure on the opening of Nashland will not improve their
situation. He stated that he felt that improved communication
and strict Code Enforcement with the owners assisting will
improve the area more. He stated that the City should spend
the dollars where it can get the most use and that is the two
lanes to open up Limited Street. Councilman Alongi asked if
it was necessary to do the slurry seal on the parking lots.
Councilman Pape stated that the $200,000 for Nashland outlined
in this list is being addressed in other areas and could be
applied to the Limited Street Bridqe construction. He stated
that he agreed with Councilman Alongi. Councilman Pape stated
that he felt that the Main Street and Sulphur Street
decontamination could be cut in half this year to allow
Council to apply those funds to other things.
There was general discussion regarding the strip paving of
Illinois Street; the fact that Elsinore Ready Mix has offered
to donate the concrete to do the curb, gutter and sidewalk and
the fact that it will address the drainage problems found in
that area. Public Services Director Tecca stated that
Elsinore Water District is putting a water line on that street
and the road will not be addressed until that project is
complete.
Councilman Bender asked about the drainage. Public Services
Director Tecca explained that there are drainage pipes all
along Lakeshore Drive, and Illinois Street would drain to one
of those pipes if it is available.
Councilman Bender expresed concern with projects which are
partially done and then the City starts new projects. He
pointed out the problem with the area at Lake Street and Robb
Road with the medians full of weeds; and noted that this is a
major entryway into the City. He questioned the amount of
money needed to clean up the area and irrigate it. Public
Services Director Tecca stated that the funds requested for
that project are for the installation of an irrigation system
and landscaping. Councilman Bender stated that he was in
favor of this project in order to complete the area. He
stated that it is presently an eyesore for a major entrance to
the City.
City Manager Molendyk stated that Engineering had listed the
Limited Street Bridge at $300,000 and there is still a short-
fall of $25,000. Mayor Washburn stated that it would not take
$300,000 to do Lakeshore Bridge since the bridge itself would
not cost that. He stated his concern in reqard to making the
road two-way. He explained the liability to the City if that
road is turned into a two way street again. He noted that it
would be best to look into this matter further before changing
he current circulation pattern. There was general discussin
in regard to the entire project, and it was decided that the
bridge was to be done, but not all of the street improvements
proposed.
Councilman Bender went over the amount of money cut by the
suqgestions of Council and asked how much can be saved on the
Limited Street Bridge by improvements being done from
Langstaff to Spring Street only. Public Services Director
Tecca stated that it would cut the cost from $300,000 to
$200,000 in total cost. He stated that with the savings,
PAGE FOURTEEN - BIIDGET STUDY SESSION - AUGIIST 22~ 1994
perhaps something could be done on Illinois Street and Lake
Street to get those projects implemented,
City Manaqer Molendyk clarified the revision of Limited Street
Bridge from Spring Street to Langstaff, and explained that
savings created there might landscape Lakeshore and Robb Road
and pave Illinois Street if the Water Company does their water
lines.
Mayor Washburn stated that a possible allocation of funds if
Illinois Street cannot be done this year is to use the funds
for road improvements related to Lake use.
City Manager Molendyk asked what the time frame was for the
improvements of the median on Railroad Canyon Road and on
Collier Road. Public Services Director Tecca stated that the
time frame on Railroad Canyon Road is dependent on Pardee. He
explained that there were two water lines running up and down
the median, one for potable water and one for reclaimed water.
He stated that the potable water line is about to be charged
in order to construct housing models. If the City wishes to
use potable water for irrigation, which is more expensive,
then it would be available within the year. If the City
wishes to use reclaimed water then the City will have to wait
for Pardee to build a reservoir and a pump station and that
could be several years away.
City Manager Molendyk stated that the raodification will be
figured and a memo will be provided to Council to inform them
of the outcome of changes to the budqet.
Councilman Alongi asked if the City had the funds to proceed
now with the entrance to Lakepoint park at High Street and
Lakeshore Drive; since there is grant money coming for this
construction. He stated that the area is getting congested
and is a liability with the park and Senior Center located
there and needs to be addressed as soon as possible. Public
Services Direct Tecca stated that if the money is spent, then
the City looses the grant. Councilman Alongi asked how long
it will take to get the grant monies. Public Services
Director Tecca stated ~hat this is through the Regional
Transportation Program and when the budget is approved for
them on October 1, 1994, then the money will be released to
the City.
Councilman Pape questioned the funding for the After School
Program. He asked that the City get a letter off to the
County, School District and participating cities to inform
them that if they wish to see this program continue at the
current level of service, then they should include this in
their budget as well. He explained that it is not the City of
Lake Elsinore's responsibility to pay for a program for the
children from the County, Wildomar and Canyon Lake to
participate in. He stated that they should be responsible for
their own children and pay their fair share.
Mayor Washburn concurred with Councilman Pape°s comments and
asked that the City Manager talk with Dr. Long, Superintendent
of the School District to possibly fund a portion of the After
School Program and let the School District fund the rest.
Councilman Alongi stated that he felt that this was an
PAGE FIFTEEN - BODGET STODY SESSION - AIIGIIST 22~ 1994
important program and if the schools are servicing the County
children then the County should contribute to the program as
well. He explained that he would not like to see the program
disturbed this year. Councilman Alongi stated that he would
like to see the County and other cities given proper
notification in order to give them the opportunity to act on
this issue and if they do not include it in their budget then
the City can start to issue cards to the children of the
residents of Lake Elsinore to prevent the City taking on the
responsibility of the County. This would identify the persons
who are entitled to the use of this type of programs. He
explained that the Community Center is for the community at
large and he felt that it should not incur a charge for the
City residents; but the persons living outside of the City
should have to pay for its use.
Councilman Bender concurred with Councilman Alongi and stated
that he would like to see the Kids on Track program stay the
same this year, however if the funding is not augmented by the
other cities and the County, then they should be excluded from
the program or participate only by paying a fee to suppleraent
the City funding.
C) POLICIES (F:30.1)(F:120.1)
1) Non Profit Oraanizations.
City Manager Molendyk explained that the Council has
$10,000 in their budget for community promotion and
Council has allocated $10,000 from CDBG funds for Non
Profit Organizations. He stated that staff needs a
clear policy on which groups pay for the Community Center
and which groups don't; or which receive co-sponsorship
of the City.
Councilman Alongi stated that he felt that there should
be a list of organizations that the Council will
recognize and allow to use the Community Center. He
stated that possibly the City should not co-sponsor fund
raising events which are for the support of the
organization and not for the community. City Manager
Molendyk explained that he understood the concept of the
money going back to the community, but he requested
direction in regard to the organizations which are non-
profit that serve the valley. Councilman Alongi stated
that the County does not contribute to the building, just
as the majority of the Chamber of Commerce members are in
the County, but the City picks up expenses for County
businesses.
Councilman Bender stated that there are some groups based
in Lake Elsinore that are non-profit organizations and he
stated that they should have access to the Community
Center on a limited fee basis or a no fee basis, and
other groups which are non-profit and spread their good
throughout the a~~ILley should have a fee set and the
others are at a separate fee. He cautioned that the Free
basis is not good, but an application process with a
limit to the amount of events for the use of the
Community Center is acceptable so that the City can
control the situation.
~AGE 8%STEEN - BIIDGET STODY SESSION - AOGIIST 22~ 1994
Councilman Alongi stated that he did want to separate the
use of the Community Center from the Cultural Center. He
stated that the different organizations can utilize the
Community Center, but the use of the Cultural Center
should be paid for.
Councilman Bender stated that he did not want City
Council becoming involved in favoritism or a
political situation. He sugqested that some
reasonable guidelines and criteria be set for
facility use, with staff empowered to carry them
out.
Mayor Washburn asked that Community Services put a list
together of the organizations that have requested use of
the facility and identify which ones are 5o1C3; and which
ones are more City versus County to get an idea of who
the players are.
City Manager Molendyk stated that the budget should not
be held up for this, so he will place this as one of the
goals of the Community Services Department to establish
a Non-Profit criteria.
2) Librarv.
City Manager Molendyk explained that the City owns the
Library building and the Library has notified the City
that their budget has been cut. He advised that the
County Library rents the building for $900 per month and
noted that last year their budget had been cut and they
had asked the City to do the necessary maintenance to the
building and then bill the County for the repairs. They
are now requesting a waiver of the $900 a month for the
next two years. City Manager Molendyk stated that the
City has been working with Wal-Mart to contribute to the
Library.
Mayor Washburn stated that he feels that the trend is for
Cities to take over their own Libraries. He noted that
the County has not done as much for the City of Lake
Elsinore as has been done for the City of Temecula, City
of Riverside or other communities; and he felt that the
City of Lake Elsinore should pressure them to step up and
help fund a new library this year. He indicated in his
opinion the City of Lake Elsinore has always been short
changed by the County in the City library. He stated
that he does not feel that we have pushed on them hard
enough to get what this City needs, but with support from
the Friends of the Library and the community's interest
in the library, he feels that the City has more clout to
get attention.
Councilman Alongi stated that this library does service
a lot of County children and families; and the City needs
to take a stand on how City dollars are spent supportinq
other communities. He stated that the Library is very
important, however there are many more needs which the
City is paying for and someone else is getting the
benefit. Councilman Alongi stated that the Mayor is
right that these items need to be addressed and resolved.

the City was being slighted
Councilman Bender'stated that if they receive the break
on the $900 rent, then they will allocate the money
somewhere else and expect the City and the Friends of the
Library to make up the short-fall again.
Councilman Pape stated that the County should be sent a
letter stating that in lieu of raising the rE~t the City
will accept the same rental payment to give them a break.
3. Communitv Pool.
Mayor Washburn asked if staff could study th~.feasibility
of a community pool, because when the City ha~ tr~ied to
get an agreement with the School District, the pool is
either broken and is being repair or they have entered
into an agreement with Ortega Trails. He noted that
Canyon Lake will not allow children from the City of Lake
Elsinore to participate in programs in their pools
arranged by Ortega Trails and expressed his anger in
regard to that situation. He stated that he would like
to see staff investigate all the requirements, funding
and criteria to establish a City Community Pool.
Councilman Pape suggested that the next time a large
development occurrs, perhaps this could be a condition,
in lieu of a park.
City Manager Molendyk noted that the Council would like
to pursue an aquatic center. He explained that it is not
only the facility, but the maintenance and operation. He
stated that some of the costs can be recovered, but the
public swim part is absorbed by the City.
Councilman Alongi stated that he agreed with the Mayor
and he also would like to have a community pool. He
stated that he gets upset when the kids are excluded from
other areas, but when the City does it they are the bad
guys. He explained that some of the CDBG funds could be
used to support a swim program and augment this with a
pay program.
City Manager Molendyk suggested that the Park-in-lieu
fees be examined for this purpose. He stated that the
majority of those fees will be used for some type of
beach improvement, but part of the funds can be held back
to give some preliminary conceptual costs of what an
aquatic facility would cost. He stated that there is a
difference between a City/School pool and an Aquatic
Center and the report will identify the differences.
Councilman Bender stated that no resolution had been reached
regarding the 4 Wheel Drive vehicle and the sedan. He stated
that he felt that both vehicles should be purchased and let it
be a push. Council concurred.

ITEM PIILLED FROM CONSENT CALENDAR
3. School District/Citv Joint Powers Agreement - Stadium Use.
(F:68.1)(X:134.10)
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi indicated that he had several
concerns with this item. He expressed concern was the $5,000
rental agreement, with the replacement costs projected to come
from that amount. He expressed further concern with the
lights estimated at $250.00 per hour, and questioned whether
cleaning time had been taken into account in this calculation.
He indicated that he had no concern with the security as
proposed. He also expressed concern with the use of the
locker room and stressed the cost of that facility. He
suggested that the dugouts be used instead of the locker room.
He noted comments of former Councilmember Winkler regarding
subsidization of the County Little League participants and
indicated that this proposal is the same, in that County
students attend this school. He indicated that the School
District should be responsible for all related costs including
repairs. He stressed that the Stadium is a professional field
and it needs to pay its way. He indicated that as a taxpayer
he would prefer to see this money going toward improvement of
the school fields. He stressed the need to use tax dollars
more wiselye He advised that he would not support this
proposal at this time.
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chairman Bender indicated that his
understanding of the proposed agreement is that the School
District will cover all costs of repair which exceed the base
rent. He sugqested that the agreement state the 1994 season
rather than the 1994-95 season, to eliminate any confusion
that it might be for more than one year. He requested that
Section 2.b. on page 4 of 12 be corrected to read "all
improvements shall be at the sole costs and expense of the
District as the tenant", rather than the City. City
Manager/Executive Director Molendyk confirmed that this was
the intent.
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chairman Bender requested clarification of
the arrangement between Volume Services and the Booster Club
for a portion of the profits. City Manager/Executive Director
Molendyk indicated that the discussion was that the Temescal
High School Booster Club would receive 10~ of the concessions,
however he was not certain this agreement had been finalized.
Manager of Special Projects Watenpauqh indicated that 10% was
the offer from Volume Services, noting recent discussions with
Superintendent Long and Athletic Director Blake. He indicated
that the Booster Club would supply volunteers to assist a
minimal Volume Services staff; all prices on the concessions
would remain the same; no alcohol would be allowed to be sold
and they are working to confirm the l0~ for the Booster Club.
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chairman Bender inquired whether the City
will still receive a portion of the profit. Manager of
Special Projects Watenpaugh indicated that the City receives
a percentage of the gross revenues, and the more activities,
~he more revenue for the City. He clarified that this 10~
would not impact the revenue to the City.
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chairman Bender noted the clause concerning
clean-up and damage costs, indicated that it appeared to be
PAGE THREE - JOINT MEETING MIN[TTES - AIIGIIST 30~ 1994
safer for the City. He commented that since it was the local
school district, he was not as concerned about recouping all
of the costs for the usage of the Stadium. He indicated that
he would support the Stadium being used for other events. He
further indicated that he feels this proposal will be good for
the Community and this year will be an experimental situation.
Councilman/Chairman Pape noted that this proposal nearly died
a few weeks ago and he established contact with the School
Board President to pursue it further. He commented the
positive impact for the Community and hoped that the same type
of use would occur next year. He further commented that the
intent is that this would be at no cost to the City. He
stressed the benefit to the Community and looked forward to
the games.
Mayor/Boardmember Washburn questioned item 3.b. and whether
the team would use the Stadium shower and locker room
facilities or return to the High School. Roger Blake,
Athletic Director for the School District, indicated that they
would request access to the locker room for pre-game and half-
time, but they would return to the high school for showers and
changing. He noted that this will help facilitate getting the
team back to the campus. City Manager/Executive Director
Molendyk suggested that there could be a walk-thru after the
game with a member of the City staff, if the concern was the
possibility of abuse to the locker room. He noted that the
intent is that all repairs will be paid for by the School
District. He also noted that the agreement proposed that the
$5,000 would be used toward leaving the field as it is found.
He advised that in the event of heavy rains, the City would
have the right to cancel the event to prevent damage to the
field, although the rains usually occur later in the year.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk requested
clarification of prices to be charged. Mr. Blake indicated
that the intent would be to charge $1 per vehicle for parking;
with admission prices of $4 to $5 per adult, A.S.B. member
Students $1 and $2 for children under 12. Mr. Molendyk
suggested it might be appropriate to allow for collection of
parking fees within the agreement.
Mayor/Boardmember Washburn inquired whether there had been any
discussion of sharing the parking fees. He noted that he
would concur with the changes requested by Mr. Bender for
Section 2.b.; would suggested that the clarification of
"Temescal Booster Club" be added to Section 3.c. and concurred
with the "1994 Football Season" verbiage, rather that 1994-95.
He stressed that the Stadium was not just built Por baseball;
rather it was designed to accommodate soccer, football,
concerts, etc. He commented that this year would be
experimental and positive for both sides. He further
commented that the Community is looking forward to other uses
of the Stadium and would be good for the City and the
Community.
MOVED BY BENDER TO APPROVE THE AGREEMENT WITH CHANGES TO SECTION
2.B. AND SECTION 8 REGARDING THE 1994 SEASON~ WITH ADDITION OF
ALLOWANCE FOR PARRING REVENUES AND PARTIAL USE OF THE LOCRER ROOM.
Mayor/Boardmember Washburn inquired whether this should
include mutually shared parking revenues.
PAGE FOUR - JOINT MEETING MINIITES - AIIGIIST 30~ 1994
Councilman/Chairman Pape indicated that if they are covering
the associated costs, he would not have a problem with them
collecting the parking fees to off-set their costs.
THE FOREGOING MOTION AAS WITHDRAWN BY THE MARER.
Mayor/Boardmember Washburn indicated that he would withdraw
his comments on sharing of the revenues, in that this is a one
year experiment.
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chairman Bender questioned the possibility
of parking and concession revenues going to the Booster Club
with excess profits, based on a predetermined formula, being
shared between the Boosters and the City. Mr. Blake noted
that there is not an anticipation of a surplus, and indicated
that the average draw per game is 1,000 to 1,500 people. He
further indicated that it would be the intent of the District
to off-set the rental costs, noting concerns from the School
Board for the ability to break even.
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi indicated that he would like to
vote in support of this item, but stressed the need to make
good business decisions. He questioned whether the ability to
play the game or the location is more important. He noted
that games have been played at Elsinore High School. He
clarified his understanding of the $5,000 and its impact on
repairs. He noted that the newspaper indicated that there
would be 3,000 in attendance for a game. Mr. Blake indicated
that the turnout for the Elsinore High School/Temescal Canyon
High School Game might be between 2,000 and 6,000 people.
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi expressed further concern that
o money was included in the proposed budget for the utilities
associated with the concession operation. He also noted a
concern with the parkinq proposal, noting that everyone else
appears to negotiate for the City. He suggested that there
are plenty of other locations to hold these games such as
Lakepoint Park, etc.
Councilman/Chairman Pape commented on the costs and
subsidizing of the events and questioned the accuracy of the
figures presented on pages 10 and 11 of the report. Manager
of Special Projects Watenpaugh indicated that the cost og
staff and maintenance had been included as well as lighting
costs as determined by the Electric Company, security costs
from the Sheriff's Department, and cleaning fees and street
sweeping costs based on estimated hourly need. Mr. Pape
stressed the research which had gone in to these figures.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk noted that this could
not be considered the total cost, in that the City would be
absorbinq the administrative costs to negotiate and draft the
agreement. Mr. Pape indicated that there will always be costs
to negotiate the agreement, however it appears that all
ea~penses have been reviewed and included. He stressed that
the City would be receiving all associated costs back from the
School District. He noted discussions with several of the
students from Temescal Canyon High School and commented on
their excitement regarding this proposal. He further
commented that to date they have been playing their home games
at the rival team's facility. Ae indicated that he is happy
the City can provide this opportunity.
PAGE FIVE - JOINT MEETING MINDTES - AUGUST 30~ 1994
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi stressed that subsidizing is
still occurring. He stressed the total operating costs for
the facility including insurance, gas, water, electricity,
etc. He noted that this allows for subsidizing of County
children. He stressed that the County should step forward and
pay the bills.
Mayor/Boardmember Washburn commented that this is a good
£acility and a Community facility. He stressed the need to
focus on what is good for the Community. He indicated that he
is pleased because the facility needs to be used for other
events. He noted that this is a way to draw new people in to
see and utilize the Stadium.
MOVED BY WASHBIIRN~ SECONDED BY PAPE TO APPROVE THE AGREEMENT WITH
REVISION OF SECTION 2.B. TO READ "ALL IMPROVEMENTS SHALL BE AT THE
SOLE COST AND ESPENSE OF TH& DISTRICT AS T~E TENANT"; AND SECTION
8 REVISED TO REFLECT THE "1994 SEASON".
Councilman/Boardmember Alonqi indicated that he would like to
see the motion make the School District responsible for repair
of the turf no matter what the cost is.
Mayor/Boardmember Washburn called for the question.

PAGE SI% - JOINT MEETING MINQTES - AIIGIIST 30~ 1994
costs associated with Stadium overruns have not yet surfaced
and the final bond rating information has not yet been
received. He stressed the cost of the bonds and possible
other expenses from the Water District. He indicated that he
would like to set this budqet aside until the bonding
information is known and the Stadium overruns are compiled.
He indicated that he was unable to approve this budget at this
time and requested that it be brought back.

Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chairman Bender indicated that the intent
of the budget process is to project revenues and expenses. He
further indicated that even if it must be revisited, it should
be adopted as a road map for the £iscal year. He stressed the
need to make projections and operate within set guidelines.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk concurred that the
budget adoption sets guidelines for operation, He noted that
he understands the concerns of Mr. Alongi, and indicated that
as soon as the information is available it will be brought to
the Council/BOard. He further noted that approval of the
budget allows staff to move forward on approved Capital
Projects, which they could not do without the approval. He
stressed the intent to return with additional information.

PAGE TWO - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES -
13~ 1994
Chairman Pape opened the public hearing at 8:10 p.m.
Legal Counsel Harper stated that he would make his comments
relating to all three public hearing items since all three
relate to the same gene.ral subject matter, which is the
acquisition of property, Lakeshore Drive Bridge/San Jacinto
River Channel. He explained that the Agency has been in
negotiations with the property owners for quite some raonths
and have been unable to resolve the fair market value of the
property. He stated that it is staff's recommendation for the
Agency ~o consider the adoption of the three different
resolutions of necessity for commencement of eminent domain
actions. Legal Counsel Harper explained that what was before
the Board was essentially three issues. Whether the public
interest and necessity require the project, and staff would
contend that given the circumstances of the bridge that the
project is necessary; that the project is planned or located
in a manner which will be most compatible with the public's
good and the least private injury, and again the location of
~he bridge and the take are not subject to too much debate
given the nature of the project; and subject properties sought
to be acquired are necessary to the project, and staff
indicates that it is. He explained that what is not before
the Agency tonight, is what fair market value will be. He
stated that staff will continue to negotiate with the affected
property owners and it is staff's hope that the dispute will
be resolved. Legal Counsel Harper stated that this is staff~s
intention, without litigating. He explained that if staff is
unable to arrive on a mutually agreed fair market value, then
ultimately a court and jury will make that decision. He
cautioned that this discussion is not consideration of the
fair market value, but rather the basis upon which the Board
determines that going forward and acquiring the property is
appropriate.
Chairman Pape asked if there were any written communication.
Deputy City Clerk Bryning stated that there was not.
Hearing no requests to speak on the matter Chairman Pape
closed the public hearing at 8:13 p.m.

Chairman Pape asked if the Agency needed to litigate would
that delay the projecte Legal Counsel Harper stated that it
would not. He explained that the next step would be to file
a complaint and seek an order of immediate possession.
PAGE THREE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINIITES - SEPTEMBER 13~ 1994
Legal Counsel Harper stated that is the purpose of these
actions before the Board tonight. He explained that staff had
no choice but to adopt a Resolution of Necessity because the
Agency needs possession fairly quickly.
Boardmember Alongi asked if there had been an appraisal done
on the property. Legal Counsel Harper stated that an
appraisal has been done and updated. He explained that it has
been shared with each of the property owners and discussed in
great depth and staff has not been able to reach an agreement
with the affected property owners.
THE FOREGOING MOTION FAILED BY A 3-0 VOTE WITH BOARDMEMBER ALONGI
PASSING.
Legal Counsel Harper explained that to adopt a Resolution of
Necessity it requires a four-fifths vote. Boardmember Alongi
stated that his vote would be ~~no".
Legal Counsel Harper then suggested that the items be held
over and continued for consideration by the full Board.
Boardmember Washburn asked Boardruember Alongi if this was
going to be a problem with the other items. He explained that
if it was, he would just move to continue and extend these
items until the next Board Meeting.
Boardmember Alongi stated that his concern regarding these
issues is because the owner is not present for these public
hearings and he has a problem takinq property from anyone
under any conditions. He explained that if an appraisal was
done he sees no information, nor what was offered on the
property and he would like to have that information, so that
when he does vote on the items he will be voting on issues
that he has the total information for. If the information is
available and can not be stated in public, then he would be
happy to go to closed session to become better informed. He
explained that if the property owners are being offered what
the property is worth, then it could have an affect on his
decision.
Legal Counsel Harper stated that the section of the Agenda
Report under Fiscal Impact lists the fair market value
appraisal of the property done by the Agency. He stated that
the item under consideration was appraised at $35,750.
Boardmember Alongi asked if that was the last appraisal that
was done. Legal Council Harper stated that it was.
Public Services Director Tecca explained that there is no
contention over whether the property should be used or not.
He stated that in fact the property owners have already signed
a Right of Entry permit for the City to go in and build the
bridge. He explained that what is under contention is the
value of the property and if all parties concerned do not come
to an agreement then the value will have to be set by the
court.
Boardmember Alonqi asked even if the Board approves this
tonight, the owners are not stuck and they still have the
riqht to take this issue to court. Legal Consel- Harper
concurred. Councilman Alongi explained that one of the
problems he has is the land in question and a copy of the
appraisal. Legal Counsel xarper stated that there is a legal
description and a map to designate which property is in
question.
Boardmember Alongi asked what it does to the property value
when the piece of land is cut out, that will be used for the
PAGE FOUR - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINQTES - SEPTEMBER 13~ 1994
project. Legal Counsel Harper stated that there are severance
values which become part of the fair market value. He stated
that the property owners have not acquired an appraisal that
they have shared with staff and this action is the only way
available at this time to resolve the dispute,
Chairman Pape clarified the fact that the City needs this land
to go forward to build the bridge and what is under discussion
at this meeting has nothing to do with the value of the land,
only the need for using the property to build the bridge.
Legal Counsel Harper confirmed that was correct and once the
Agency has reached that decision, then we are obligated to pay
fair market value. Chairman Pape stated that if an agreement
cannot be reached then the property owners have the right to
take it to a jury to define what the value is.
Boardmember Alongi asked if the property owners appraisal
comes in at $70,000 and our appraisal is $35,000, does the
Agency pay the $70,000 or the $35,000. Legal Counsel Harper
stated that it depends upon what the appraisal has to say and
if we don't pay their amount, then the property owners have
the opportunity to go to jury. He explained that the adoption
of the Resolution of Necessity is not about price and has only
to do with if the taking of the property is necessary to the
project. Boardmember Alongi stated that there is no doubt
that the taking of the property is necessary to the project.
Legal Counsel Harper stated that that is the only issue in the
Resolution of Necesity. The issue as to value is either
mutually decided or decided by a court.
Boardmember Alongi asked what takes place if the owner does
not agree and it goes to court, does the project proceed.
Legal Counsel Harper stated that it would. He explained the
process and that even with the Resolution of Necessity, staff
will continue to negotiate. Legal Counsel Harper explained
that this is the only way that the property owner gets his day
in court without him suing the City, which will happen if we
do not adopt a Resolution of Necessity, and go ahead and build
on his property. He explained that this issue has been
discussed with the property owners for approximately one year.
There was general discussion regarding the issue of the
Resolution of Necessity and what it addresses as well as the
history of the project.
Public Services Director Tecca stated that the property owners
are very supportive of the project, and the only issue that
cannot be agreed upon is the price.
Boardmember Bender pointed out that he has been aware of this
project for the last three years and this action is to allow
the City to proceed and if it is not done in a timely fashion
it may jeopardize the funding for this project. He stated
that he would like to see it move forward.
Boardmember Alongi stated that he did not disagree with
Boardmember Bender, but he does not agree with the system.
COIINCILMAN ALONGY STATED THAT HE HAD RECONSIDERED HIS VOTE AND
WISHED TO CHANGE HIS PASS VOTE TO A YES VOTE.
THE FOREGOING MOTION WAS APPROVED BY UNANIMOIIS VOTE OF THOSE

Resolution No. 94-8. (F:156.2)
Legal Counsel Harper stated that inadvertently there was a
legal description left out of a very tiny sliver parcel known
as parcel 4-B-2, however it is accurately described in the
map. He stated that he wished the record to show that the
meets and bounds description should be included for the
purpose of the Resolution of Necessity.
Chairman Pape opened the public hearing at 8:26 p.m.
Chairman Pape asked if there had been any written
communications. Deputy City Clerk Bryning reported that there
were none.
Chairman Pape asked if anyone wished to speak regarding this
matter. The following person spoke:
Mariana Mohylyn, 305 W. Sumner, stated that she felt that the
Government should not be a land owner and that the Agency
should be very careful to be sure that the property owner is
properly compensated.
Chairman Pape asked if anyone wished to speak further on the
matter. Hearing no one, the public hearing was closed at 8:28
p.m.
Boardmember Alongi stated that it had come to his attention
that there was an agreement on this property made in 1928, and
asked if we are in a different situation on this property than
the others. Public Services Director Tecca stated that he was
correct. Boardmember Alongi stated that this property has
already been promised to the City. Public Services Director
Tecca stated that the channel has been built by a Right of
Entry permit that was signed by the property owners and the
value of the property determined by the appraiser is
PAGE SI% - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINQTES - SEPTEMBER 130 8994
dependent upon all of the former conditions, easements and
agreements that have occurred over the last 100 years. He
explained that that information is used to set the fair market
aalue of the property. He stated that again the property
owners do not feel that is adeguate, so if a price cannot be
reached, then all of the documents will have to be taken
before a jury for a decision.
Legal Counsel Harper stated that there is a recorded easement
on the property.

EXECIITIVE DIRECTOR~S REPORT
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk stated that there will be
a Special City Council Meeting on Thursday, September 15, 1994 at
8:30 a.m. regarding Lake Elsinore City Center.
PUBLIC COMMENTS - NON-AGENDIZED ITEMS
Kevin Lanning, 652 Quail Drive, thanked Council for their interest,
concern and action taken regarding Area "J". He stated that he
wanted Council to know that as a neighborhood they are going to
help themselves and not expect the City to do it all. Mr. Lanning
explained that each neighbor on an individual basis can take legal
action in Small Claims Court, against the property owners, in the
amount of $5,000 to force them to clean-up and maintain their
property. Mr. Lanning COMMENTED that during the Budget Study
Session it was discussed that the Library had a computer that the
County was not utilizing because they did not have the funds to
train, and he wished to inform Council that the computer will be up
and running for the public this week.
Mariana Mohylyn, 305 W. Sumner, stated her opposition to the
commendation of Code Enforcement. She explained that there should
be better communication between the citizens and Code Enforcement.
She stated her objection to the system.
BOARDMEMBER COMMENTS
8oar8member/Councflmember Alongi commented on the Sollowinq:
1) Oak Grove Equities and commended the Planning Commission
for their decisions in regard to this project. He
PAGE SEVEN - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINOTES - SSPTEMBER 13, 1994
pointed out that Oak Grove Equities has been before
Council for a change of the entrance into the project and
they were allowed the change due to the fact that the
cost of the entrance was going to hinder the development
of the one parcel. Now, they wish to split the one
parcel and he wished to state that he oppose this change
and if they brought forth a quality restaurant to split
the parcel, then he would support the split. He stated
that if what they wished to develop was another fast food
restaurant then he would oppose the split. Councilman/
Boardmember Alongi stated that the public has invested a
lot of money to have an "A-1" project and therefore the
design should not be changed.
2) Acquisition of property should be agreed to prior to
entering into action on a project. He stated that there
is far too much money spent on litigation and should be
solved before the project proceeds. He stated that the
City has been waiting for 10 years for the bridge and a
few more months would not hinder the project. He does
feel that the Council should have all the information in
regard to the acquisition in their possession. He noted
that Council should receive a report of all dialoque as
well as other information available before they consider
making a decision. He stated that he does not completely
oppose the acquisition, but he feels that Council should
have all the information.
3) His disappointment with Mayor Pro Tem Bender who ran his
campaign on harmony with progress. He stated that the
applicants that applied for the position of City Council,
include people who have more experience with the City.
He noted John Matson as that type of candidate. He
stated that he does not think that it is fair to the
community not to have an opportunity to choose their
council representative. He explained that he felt that
Council should have chosen the next person who had
received the 3rd place vote in the last election. He
stated that he felt that this would represent all the
different people in the community.
4) His concerns about the theater project. He pointed out
that a local business persons had provided a low bid for
doors and casings for the theater and the developer
choose to do business with a company in Redding,
California, who was not the low bidder. Ae objected to
tax dollars leaving the town, when the City is assistinq
with this development.
5) Thanked staff and the Mayor for preparinq the
proclamation for his Granddaughter.
Councilmember/Chairman Pape commented on the followinq:
1) Commended Code Enforcement on their proclamation. He
stated that has recently attended the Nuisance Abatement
hearings and stated that Code Enforcement does a good
job.
2) Commended the residents of Area "J" for taking action on
their own behalf and expressed his excitement regarding
the upcoming meetinqs for Area "J" and the oppor~unity to
accomplish some very positive things in cooperation with
other agencies.
3) The bridge at Lakeshore which is something that has been
talked about and worked on for a number of years. He
PAGE EIGHT - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINIITES - SEPTEMBER 13a 1994
explained that there has always been the need for
additional land for that project and that is not in
dispute, not even by the land owners. The dispute is
price and he hoped that all parties could negotiate this
issue and if not the owners have the right and ability to
take further steps. Councilman/Chairman Pape explained
that the City has no choice once the appraisals are done
on the property and the City is bound by law to go with
the amount appraisede
4) Agreed that John Matson was a very good Applicant as well
as Pam Brinley. He welcomed Pam Brinley to Council and
stated that he looked forward to working with her.
Mayor Pro Tem/Boardmember Bendes commented on the following:
1) Stated that the selection of a Councilperson was a
difficult decision and is both objective and subjective.
He explained that each person on Council has a vote and
has the right to nominate someone. He stated that it was
the Council's responsibility to appoint the position.
2) Encouraged the parents of soccer players to use the
parking lot at Terra Cotta School to reduce the impact on
the residents in the area. He explained that when
McVicker Park opens the parking in that area will be open
to ease the problem; but in the mean time, he asked that
all the parents use the Terra Cotta SchoolParking Lot.
Mayor/Boardmember Washburn commented on the followiaqs
1) Stated that the selection process for the Council
position was difficult. He commended Nancy Collins for
her presentation during interviews.
2) The first football game at the Stadium was a success and
congratulated Temescal High and Elsinore High for being
the first football event in the Stadium. The schedule
for the games at the Stadium will be published in the
local paper.
3) Asked staff to include the Crime Watch Committee in the
Area "J" meetings to utilize their input and resources.

BIISINESS ITEM
Oak Grove Eauities - Elsinore Citv Center. (F:150.2)
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk explained that staff was
contacted about this development last week. He indicated that
Walmart was originally looking at an opening date of ~September.
27th, but would now like to have a"soft" opening on September
17th; this has become a concern for staff in that a number of
issues are outstanding. He reminded the Council of the design
process and subsequently approved changes for a savings of
approximately $1 million. He noted that Council consideration and
direction is requested due to previous Council involvement in the
project. He stressed that the landscaping on the back slope is
still pending and there is no bonding or guarantee to insure that
it will be completed. He indicated that there have also been
comments to the effect that they don't plan to landscape that
slope. He clarified that the requested consideration for this
meeting is what level of completion the Council would be satisfied
with to allow opening.
Mayor Pro Tem Bender/Vice Chairman questioned the original proposed
opening date. Mr. Molendyk clarified that originally it was to be
prior to school starting in September, however it has since been
changed to September 27th. He further clarified that this request
is for a"soft" opening, but the biqqest concern is the
responsibility of the developer to complete the project.
John Elliot, Gatlin Development, noted a punch list generated by
City Staff containing approximately 17 items pending for
completion. He noted that the list was updated yesterday to
reflect additional work completed. He offered to address each item
PAGE TWO - SPECIAL JOINT MEETING - SEPTEMBER 15~ 1994
with regard to its status, but commented that the majority will be
done by Tuesday, September 20th. He noted that item •12 (the back
slope) on that list can not be completed by the 2oth, but indicated
that they are not disagreeing to do the work, but would like
authorization to plant it later.
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chairman Bender suggested discussion of the
conflicting items between the developer's understanding and the
City Staff's understanding.
Mr. Elliot indicated that the water to area 12 will not be
operational for two weeks and if the plants were in place, they
would die. He detailed the E.V.M.W.D. inspection process for the
water lines which will take approximately two weeks to complete.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk inquired whether it would
be accomplished before the September 27th opening. Mr. Elliot
indicated that it would be complete in approximately 45 days. Mr.
Molendyk inquired whether there was a Letter of Credit to cover
this work. Mr. Leslie indicated that there is a bond for the
original parcel map, but based on his understanding, that would
cover only off-site improvements and not on-site improvements.
Dennis Packham, Gatlin Development, indicated that he believed that
there were corporate guarantees from Walmart; however if the
improveraents discussed are not included they could be addressed.
He further indicated that conditions such as the slopes have been
guaranteed to Walmart. He suggested that the worst case scenario
would be that all work would be done in the next 60 days, with the
best case being the next 30 days. He stressed that they still
plan to do all of the work.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk commented that this
discussion is an opportunity for the Council to determine a proper
opening date. He noted that based on the discussions at this
meeting, he has a better comfort level that the work will be done.
He noted concerns for an area of asphalt to be patched and
repaired. Mr. Elliot indicated that would be done tomorrow.
Mr. Molendyk stressed the importance of landscaping the slope and
indicated that he would not want to hear that it would not be done.
Mr. Packham indicated that they are guaranteeing it will be done.
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chairman Bender questioned Mr. Packham with
regard to his representation of Walmart. Mr. Paclcham indicated
that he represents the developer who has assisted on about 15 of
Walmart's stores in California.
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chairman Bender requested input from the Store
Manager for Walmart.
Mike Archiaga, Walmart Manager, commented that the bills will not
be paid until all work is completed. He indicated that the normal
follow-up to the construction contract will include cfiecking the
plants in about four months to assure that they have been done
correctly. He indicated that the concerns with this are a bit
overexaggerated. He stressed the inspections done by Walmart prior
to payment for the work.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk commented that Walmart is
not conditioned for the landscaping, rather the developer is. He
stressed his concern for preventing liability for the City.
PAGE THREE - SPECIAL JOINT MEETING - SEPTEMBER 15~ 1994
Councilman/Chairman Pape noted that he had visited the site last
night and the signal was out, the stop sign was upside down, and
only small plants were at Grape Street and at the driveway. He
questioned the first impression this would give shoppers. Mr.
Elliot indicated that these areas will be corrected by Tuesday.
Mr. Archiaga indicated that they would not begin operation if the
site was not suitable for the public.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk requested clarification as
to whether items 12, 13 and 14 would be done by the opening.
Mr. Elliot went through the list and indicated that item 1 should
be done on Friday, trees and plants are planted and it is complete
to the second driveway with sod. By Tuesday the sod will be
installed in area 16. Grape Street will be done by Tuesday. Area
4 will be graded and cleaned up this morning. Median planted and
one gallon plants will go in before Tuesday. In areas 6, 8 and 9
trees are planted and ground cover is in. Area 10 trees planted
toward area 7, area 7 will be hydroseeded today and trees are
already in. Area 3 will be done by Tuesday. The sidewalks will be
repaired today. Area 9 was done yesterday. Areas il and 13 and
parking portion of 14 will be done by Saturday.
Councilman/Chairman Pape inquired whether the chain link fence
would still be up. Mr. Elliot indicated that it will remain up,
but screening will be added; he further indicated that one pad
will be used as a work area and they will do temporary irrigation
and hydroseeding.
Councilman/Chairman Pape questioned area 7. Mr. Elliot indicated
it will be planted tomorrow; and further stressed that all missing
items will be installed by Tuesday.
Public Services Director Tecca commented on staff concerns with
pending items, noting that items 4 through 7 on the Enqineering
Department List can be delayed. He noted that the clean-up items
in the vicinity of the site must all be done, but as of 5 p.m. on
September 14th all items were very near completion, and he would
anticipate completion in the next couple of days. He advised that
the most important item is number 18 for the Railroad Canyon
Assessment District payment check. He commented that it is to be
here on Monday and must be in hand before the opening. Mr. Packham
indicated that the check will be delivered on Monday.
Councilman/Chairman Pape questioned the trench and dirt in the back
of the site. Mr. Elliot indicated that the trench is open for
inspection this morning, and after that they can fill in, compact
and do clean-up. He further indicated that he intends to run a
water truck through on Sunday to wash the parking lot.
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chairman Bender questioned the impact of opening
with work continuing on the site. Mr. Elliot clarified that the
work pending would really not be impacted by the Walmart customer
traffic. Mr. Bender indicated that based on this discussion, he
would look at opening toward the middle of next week. He stressed
the safety concerns remaining, and commented that he would not want
a temporary occupancy permit to be issued and the work never
completed.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk noted that this meeting
was called on Tuesday based on progress at that time and their
PAGE FOIIR - SPECIAL JOZNT MEETING - SEPTEMBER 150 1994
interest in opening. He stressed that there is a Letter of Credit
Sor the off-site improvements, but more insurance might be needed
for the landscaping.
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi indicated that he would like to se2
the opening occur early, but stressed the importance of getting
certain items completed. He questioned the change of color in area
18 and who approved the change. City Planner Leslie indicated that
the change had been made by the architect, and was not per the
Planning Commission approval. Councilman/Boardmember Alongi
questioned why the City was not informed of the change. He also
questioned the cart storage screening. Mr. Archiaga indicated that
the carts will all be stored inside the store, so this is not an
issue. Mr. Alongi stressed the specific requirements. Mr.
Archiaga stressed that the storage is inside and the carts will
only be taken outside when used by customers. Mr. Leslie clarified
that the cart area is not shown on the plans.
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi questioned the screening of the air
conditioning units. Mr. Leslie concurred that this was a condition
of approval, and noted that the units are not visible from the
freeway, but they are visible from Grape Street, Summerhill and the
upper portion of this project. He questioned whether further
screening should be required. Mr. Alongi stressed the building
requirements and stressed public view screening. Mr. Leslie
andicated that the architect did send plans for a screening system
and they have been approved. Mr. Packham indicated that the
screening is being worked on and is nearly doneo Mr. Bender
requested clarification that they intended to install this
screening. Mr. Packham indicated that they do intend to install
it.
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi questioned the monumentation signage,
and noted that it does not reflect the design presented. Mr.
Leslie indicated that they have agreed to add the missing items.
Mr. Elliot indicated that the end piece was left off, but they
intend to put it in.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk inquired whether bonding
exists to guarantee the installation. Mr. Schleuniger indicated
that he will see that it occurs.
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi indicated that at there is not bnd
except for capital improvements. Mr. Molendyk stressed the need
for bonding or guarantees to assure they go in. He recommended a
guarantee from the developer.
Councilman/Chairman Pape inquired whether it would be appropriate
to have bonds for specific items. Mr. Leslie indicated it would be
possible to require bonds for landscaping to assure planting,
noting that this ~ypically would be required before opening.
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi stressed that discussion today
asswnes that all things will be done and complete, but delays can
occur. He suggested that the store open on the 27th and allow the
next two weeks to complete the work. He stressed that other
developers would not be allowed to open and completion would be
required. He indicated that he does not understand why the water
lines were not placed yet as part of the project. Mr. Elliot
indicated that there is one water system, but the testing process
was separated. He stressed that i~ is all installed, but testinq
is only partially complete.
PAGE FIVE - SPECZAL JOINT MEETING - SEPTEMBER 15~ 1994
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi questioned the two week time frame
for testing. Mr. Elliot indicated that the first week is to check
for leaks and they the Water District does their testing the second
week. Mr. Alongi further questioned why this was not done as part
of the project. Mr. Elliot indicated that tests were conducted as
portions were completed.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk questioned pending safety
issues and whether to open on Saturday or Wednesday. He reiterated
the question of how to ensure that plantinq will occur; and
stressed the differentiation between opening Walmart and
guaranteeing the commitment from the developer. Mr. Schleuniger
indicated that there is no problem with the landscaping, but
requested clarification of the City direction. Mr. Molendyk
stressed that the City would want it finished. Mr. Schleuniger
indicated that it will be planted as discussed previously.
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi further stressed that the City is
dealing with Walmart and the developer, and there are several
things to be done on the developer side. He expressed concern for
the City getting between the developer and Walmart. He commented
on the plans submitted and the changes requested during the
planning process. He indicated that it is unfair to hold Walmart
up , but it is also unfair to expect the City to release it. He
further suggested that the September 27th opening date be sure to
clear up all pending safety issues. He noted that he is not happy
with the items still pending on the Engineering Department list.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk indicated that this
meeting is intended to reach a compromise, and noted that Walmart
feels they have complied with their conditions. He stressed the
City/RDA financial commitment and the vision of the Redevelopment
Agency for this project. He further stressed that all work must be
done, and noted the responsibility of the developer to complete
certain items. He suggested that if Oak Grove Equities will
guarantee the balance of the work will occur, then Walmart could
open.
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chairman Bender questioned the impact on
Walmart's operation of opening earlier than the September 27th
date. Mr. Archiaga indicated that they have hired 300 people and
will need to send them home for a week or so if they are not
allowed to open early. He further indicated that the "soft"
opening is intended to work out the bugs in the operation. He
indicated that he felt they could be ready to open by September.
17th. He noted that the employees might miss a paycheck in the
interim.
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chairman Bender inquired whether Walmart has
penalty provisions in the contract with the developer if they are
not ready for opening. Mr. Schleuniger indicated that there is a
required completion date, which he believed might be September
27th, but they are working to have the project substantially
complete by Wednesday.
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi expressed concern with assurances
that the work will be done. He stressed that this project has been
before the Council three times and there are still concerns with
the developer meeting the conditions. He suggested postponement of
a decision until next week to assure that the work is done. He
indicated that he wants the grading issue resolved because too many
things are up to the developer and not Walmart.

PAGB SIS - SPECIAL JOINT MEETING - BEPTEMSER 15~ 1994
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chairman Bender concurred with Councilman Alongi
and suggested that it would be premature to decide on opening at
this time.
Councilman/Chairman Pape inquired if the soft opening were
scheduled for Wednesday, how much notice would be needed. Mr.
Archiaga indicated that he would need 24 hours to assure staffing.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk noted that a meeting is
scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on September 20th and suggested another
meeting on this topic at that timeo
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi questioned the proposed soft opening
datee Mr. Archiaga indicated they would like September 21st. Mr.
Alongi inquired how much time is needed to advertise the soft
opening date. Mr. Archiaga indicated that they do not advertise
the soft opening.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk suggested that by next
Tuesday most of the work could be accomplished, but if it is not
then it would still be possible to go with the September 27th date.
Mr. Archiaga indicated that the soft opening was originally
anticipated for September 24th.
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi further questioned the advertising
for the opening. Mr. Archiaga indicated that the grand opening on
the 27th would be advertised, with a soft opening of September
24th, but they would like to open on September 17th or September
21st.
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi indicated that it is not fair to
staff because the developer is not ready, to have to keep coming
back to address this project. He suggested that they stay at the
September 24th soft opening date.
Councilman/Chairman Pape inquired whether September 20th would be
appropriate for the meeting. Mr. Leslie indicated that he felt
most work would be complete by then and he would feel comfortable
with that date. He clarified that even then the landscaping would
not be complete. Mr. Schleuniger clarified that a portion of the
landscaping would be done.
Councilman/Chairman Pape noted that he had seen one gallon plants
on the slope and questioned whether they would be adequate to hold
the soil in place. Mr. Leslie indicated that this was a matter of
aesthetics more than erosion; and while there are one gallon plants
there, the rest of the landscapinq will be required per the plans.
Mr. Pape inquired whether it was feasible to require a bond or cash
deposit for the pending work on the slope. Mr. Leslie indicated
that this was feasible. Mr. Packham indicated that he believed the
corporate guarantee would be adequate, but offered to guarantee
this work further. Mr. Pape stressed that all work should be done
for opening except the slope.
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi stressed the importance of completing
item 19. He further addressed the cart storage issue in area 8 and
questioned where the carts will be, in front of the store or in the
parking lot. Mr. Leslie clarified the conditions. Mr. Alongi
inquired whether the condition has been met. Mr. Leslie indicated
that it has not been approved yet.
City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk clarified the previous
discussions and concerns for cart storage in front of the building;
PAGE SEVEN - BPECIAL JOINT MEETING - SEPTEMBER 15~ 1994
and noted that the majority of the carts will be inside. Mr.
Leslie indicated that this condition will remain on the project
until the final arrangement has been inspected in side the
building. He further indicated that the cartreturn areas in the
parking lot have not been completed and will still need to be
resolved.
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi indicated that he has no problem with
the placement of the carts, but stressed the conditions of approval
which should be met. He also stressed that there is no process for
citing them if the storage is ever moved outside. Mr. Molendyk
indicated that this could be resolved between the Store Manager and
Staff.
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi readdressed the change in paint
color. Mr. Archiaga explained that the change was made to make the
signage more visible; indicating that the plans show white letters
on a white background. Mr. Molendyk indicated that this could be
addressed further if it is a major issue. Mr. Schleuniger
suggested a formal application process for the change. Mr. Leslie
indicated that while certain color schemes were approved and this
doesn't match, but colors where only switched in one area. Mr.
Alongi concurred with the concern for white on white visibility.
Mr. Elliot detailed the specific area in which the color was
changed.
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chairntan Bender inquired whether the color
matches the rest of the building. Mr. Archiaga indicated that it
does match the building. Mr. Leslie concurred that it is one of
the same accent colors used elsewhere.
City Manager Molendyk clarified the requested direction for this
meeting. Mr. Alongi stressed the importance of completing what was
submitted; noting that this would be required of other developments
prior to opening.
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chairman Bender suggested postponement to
September 2oth.
Councilman/Boardmember Alonqi indicated that he has no problem with
the color change.
Mr. Elliot reviewed the rest of the project and addressed the
pending items.
City Manager Molendyk stressed the importance of visible signage
from the freeway; he suggested that the Council review what has
been done and let the Store Manaqer know their thoughts on Tuesday.
He stressed that signage and location are important to retail
business.
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chairman Bender recommended continuance of this
matter to September 20th at 8:30 a.m.
Councilman Alongi requested that Mr. Schleuniger and Mr. Dennis
work with staff to handle adequate bonding, be it bondinq, letter
of credit or cash.
Councilman/Chairman Pape suggested that the signaqe not be changed.
Mr. Leslie indicated that this change could be handled
administratively by staff. Mr. Molendyk indicated that this could
be addressed further on Tuesday, if necessary.
PAGE EIGHT - SPECIAL JOINT MEETING -
15~ 1994
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi indicated that he would like to see
Grape Street done by Tuesday, the entrance complete, and the
parking lot clean. Mr. Elliot indicated this will be done by
Tuesday.
Councilman/Boardmember Alongi further indicated that he will want
solid assurances from the developer that there is cash to complete
the project.

a. Camelot Properties Updates. (F:134.10)
Executive Director Molendyk commented on a meeting with
Camelot Properties earlier this week and noted their interest
in updating the Board on the Theater Project as well as the
Red Lion Hotel Project.
Leonard O'Byrne, President, Camelot Properties, commented on
a recent City Council Meeting and comments by Mr. Harv
Dykstra, owner of Empire Doors. He detailed the bid process
for the theater. and identified his extra efforts to work with
Mr. Dykstra in reaching a mutually agreeable bid, to keep the
work within the City. He indicated that after repeated
attempts, he was unable to obtain a comparable bid for
comparable nroducts and Mr. Kirkorian's representatives ended
up contracting that work with Bell Hardware, with whom they
are working on another project.
Mr. O'Byrne then provided an update on the project in general,
noting that it is presently under construction and proceeding
rapidly, with an anticipated opening date in November. He
noted that Assistant Executive Director Rogers has done a
wonderful job of solving problems and expressed his gratitude
for this assistance. He advised that Mr. Kirkorian was so
impressed by staff that he is interested in expanding from
eight screens to ten screens, and noted that change would be
back for public hearing in two weeks.
Executive Director Molendyk clarified that the November
opening date would include only the first eight screens, with
the other two to be added later.
Tim O'Byrne, Inland Pacific Property Counselors, Inc.,
commented on the Red Lion Project and noted that there might
PAGB TWO - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINOTEB - OCTOBER il~ 1994
be a slight delay in the project. He explained that with
regard to Phase I, there are a number of issues being
addressed including the financing, the planning, feasibility
study, cost estimates, site size and configuration, and
pinning down the acquisition specifications. He noted that
they are also looking at incorporating the hot springs and
other natural phenomena of the area.
Mr. O'Byrne noted that two weelcs ago they entered into a first
right of refusal agreement with an entertainment firm, for
development of a portion of the site. He explained that this
would help to establish an attraction to the area and the
hotel. He indicated that he would hope to provide an update
on the entertainment issue near the beginning of the year.
Chairman Pape inquired when the studies would be complete.
Mr. O•Byrne indicated that the preliminary study would be
complete near the beginning of the year; and the validation of
that study would be approximately another two weeks.
Chairman Pape questioned the status of the commitment from Red
Lion. Mr. O'Byrne indicated that they have already committed
to the construction of the project, and timing will depend on
the results of the study and the acquisition of the land. He
noted that at this point, the project will be here and it
could only be lost by the City.
Chairman Pape indicated that he looked forward to the next
report.

POBLIC HEARING
6.
Executive Director Molendyk explained that the Disposition and
Development Agreement with Camelot Properties was originally
approved on March 25, 1993, and this item is a request to
amend the DDA to alter the theater from eight (s) screens to
ten (10) screens and to change some other verbiage in the
agreement.
Administrative Services Director Boone explained that the
Specific Plan along with the DDA originally called for a
seven-plex theater, approximately 12,000 square feet of
commercial shops and a restaurant pad. He noted the amendment
calls for the elimination of the stand alone commercial, the
theater will be expanded to ten screens and approximately
35,000 of commercial shops within the theater as well as a
restaurant. He stated that the four items which are being
proposed in the ordinance are; 1) Deletion the stand alone
commercial facility as originally proposed; 2) Approval of the
addition of 8,750 square feet for two theaters and the
addition of 3,500 square feet of commercial within the theater
facility; 3) Increase of $700,000 for a total of $4,000,000 on
the loan guarantee; and 4) Extension of the completion date of
the Phase 2 project for one year to December 31, 1996. Mr.
Boone explained that with the proposed changes the project
will be a revenue positive for the City, whereas before it
would not have been; and the City has previously approved a
loan guarantee for $3,300,000 and the additional amount would
be consistent with that action.
Administrative Services Director Boone explained that
Chairman Pape requested that a due date be set for the theater
and commercial completion and the developer has requested to
address this matter. Mr. Boone stated that staff recommends
approval of the recommended changes with alterations if the
Board so desires.
Chairman Pape asked the Clerk of the Board for any written
communications. Clerk of the Board Kasad stated that there
were no written communications.
Chairman Pape opened the public hearing at 7:33 p.m. and asked
those persons interested in this item to speak. The following
people spoke:
Ace Vallejos, 15231 Cobre Street, gave an overview of the
project; stated his objection to additional funding, and
questioned the ability of the developer to repay the loan
should K-Mart close. He addressed the newest Councilmembers
and asked them to vote no on this issue.
Leonard O'Byrne, Camelot Properties, stated that he aqrees
with staff recommendations and explained that the one year
ext~ension of time was for the restaurant and that he would be
willing to move the time for operation to August 31, 1995 for
the shops and one year for the restaurant. He explained that
he has not yet approached the City with the franchise they are
proposing for the restaurant because they are currently
PAGE THAEE - REDEVSLOPMENT AGENCY MINIITES - NOVEMBER 8~ 1994
working on gaining the franchise and will need the approval of
the City prior to moving on the restaurant issue.
Boardmember Alongi asked what the opening date for the theater
would be. Mr. O'Byrne stated that the opening is set for
November 16, 1994, at 12:00 p.m. Boardmember Alongi asked if
the project will be complete including the parking lot. Mr.
O'Byrne stated that he has submitted an interim construction
plan to staff, fees have been paid and is going through plan
check. He explained that there is an area of construction
that will be fenced off, however the rest will be complete.
Boardmember Brinley asked if it would include the landscaping.
Mr. O'Byrne stated that it would.
Vice Chairman Bender questioned the one year extension and
asked if that was for the restaurant only. Mr. O'Byrne stated
that it was. Mr. Bender requested clarification that the
additional two screens and the shops will be ready by August
31, 1995. Mr. O'Byrne stated that they would. Vice Chairman
Bender asked that Mr. O'Byrne explained the additional two
theaters and the additional revenue that will be generated in
place of the additional retail. Mr. O'Byrne explained that
historically the only commitment was for a seven (7) screen
theater and with the assistance of staff, Council and Planning
Commission the theater was expanded and the commercial
incorporated. Mr. O'Byrne explained that the change in the
amount of retail to theater was created because there is a
need for more theater area and in today~s market not as much
need for retail based on the current trend in the City. The
proposed retail will increase the value to the City and
provide for the recreational requirements of the City.
Vice Chairman Bender stated that he agrees with Mr. O'Byrne
regarding the vacancy of retail shops in the area and the
limited need for additional retail. He asked if Mr. O'Byrne
would be asking for more than $700,000 ultimately. Mr.
O'Byrne stated that he would not. Mr. Bender asked if Mr.
O'Byrne would commit to 60$ of the cost as was originally
agreed to in the beginning of this project. Mr. O'Byrne
stated that he cannot commit to 60~ until there is an overall
appraisal, but that he does not believe that the amount will
exceed the 60~ when the project is complete. He explained the
security for the property and the safety of the project. Vice
Chairman Bender asked if Mr. O'Byrne would be able to present
the Board with an evaluation of the project. Mr. O~Byrne
stated that he would.
Chairman Pape asked what the size of the new theaters would be
and how many seats they would have. Mr. O'Byrne stated that
they would be the standard size of the smaller theater with
approximately 150 seats each. Chairman Pape asked about the
financial viability of K-Mart. Mr. O'Byrne stated that the
Lease is in place for K-Mart and will not affect this project
at all. He noted that the impact of Wal-Mart was not as much
as was first projected, in that the K-Mart recently had its
second best day of operations..
Boardmember Alongi asked how r.iany years Mr. O'Byrne's lease
with the theater is for. Mr. O'Byrne stated that it is for
twenty (20) years with two five year options. He explained
that the guarantee of the loan is tied to the lease.
PAGE FOUR - RED&VELOPMENT AGENCY MINIITES - NOVEMBER 8~ 1994
will
Vice Chairman Bender asked if Mr. O'Byrne would be capable of
funding the restaurant or if he will be back to the
Redevelopment Agency for assistance. Mr. O'Byrne stated that
he did not know at this time. He explained that he has an
application from I-Hop, and he feels that the City is his
partner and if its good for the City it will be good for his
company.
Boardmember Brinley asked if the City would loose money on
this extension and what the City's financial position will be
after this extension if it is approved. Administrative
Services Director Boone explained that if the Board approves
the amendment, and all the costs estimates come out as they
have been projected, the net tax increment should be
approximately $56,800 a year from the theater in addition to
the restaurant. He noted that the sales tax is estimated to
be approximately $50,000 off both complexes for a total of
$106,800 and the annual subsidy is $93,750 which would make
the project revenue positive for approximately $13,000 a year.
Mr. Boone noted that under the original DDA that was not the
case, and the City would have been a little short.
Boardmember Brinley commented that this would be a better
project than what had been proposed before. Mr. Boone
concurred.
Boardmember Alongi asked if there was a feasibility study done
and wanted to know who had given the figures that the City is
working from. Administrative Services Director Boone
explained that staff did the research by what the other
businesses in the City are generating. Boardmember Alongi
noted that these figures are being projected from the
inrement of a restaurant, but that is not firm and the DDA
does not guarantee that a restaurant be placed on the
site. He stated that Mr. O'Byrne could decide a year from now
tha~ it might be feasible or economical for him to place a
restaurant at that site and would cause problems regarding the
increment. Mr. Boone stated that the amounts are figured with
~he restaurant, if the restaurant is not built then the annual
subsidy goes away. Boardmember Alongi asked if the restaurant
is not built, then the project will be in the negative. Mr.
Boone stated that if the restaurant is not built then the RDA
will not be responsible for the $93,750 per year.
Boardmember Alongi questioned the memos that he received and
the difference that he sees anci questioned who did the
appraisal. Administrative Services Director Boone stated that
the appraisal was done by the Anza Appraisal Company. He
explained that an appraisal and new loan commitment will be
presented to the Board later. Boardmember Alongi questioned
if the item will be presented later why this item is before
the Board now. Mr. Boone stated that this is to approve the
specific plan change, guarantee a loan increase of $700,000
and extend the due date on Phase II. Boardmember Alongi
questioned this being done without an appraisal. Mr. Boone
stated that there are construction estimates which dictate the
amount of money needed.
Boardmember Alongi explained that he wants to be sure that the
project is viable and will take care of itself. He does not
want the City to be stuck with the bill. He questioned if
everyone is so sure that this project is going to work, then
why does the City need to guarantee it.
PAGS FInE - REDENELOPMENT AGENCY MINLiTES - NOVEMBER 8~ 1994
Boardmember Alongi commented that the original valuation
states that theater and shops; cost $4,000,000 plus sales tax
$35,000 and tax increment $31,000. He stated that reading
further in the report, the portion regarding the restaurant
does not reflect the income nor the tax increment. He asked
to have the breakdown explained.
Administrative Services Director Boone e~lained that the
sales tax off of ten screens versus seven screens should be
greater and explained that Mr. Krikorian will up-grade the
commercial shops and as Mr. O'Byrne explained he is still
firming up the franchise for the restaurant. Mr. Boone stated
that staff does have sales tax numbers generated off of other
businesses and he would be glad to go over the figures.
Boardmember Alongi asked if the City offered the same type of
financing to Edwards Theater as to Camelot Properties.
Administrative Services Director Boone stated that Edwards
Theater never got to this level of negotiation. Boardmember
Alongi commented that in that case they would not have been
aware that the City would guarantee a$4,000,000 note for the
theater. Administrative Services Director Boone explained
that the negotiations never got to a point where they were
brought to him for review.
Boardmember Washburn stated that he sat in on the meeting with
Edwards Theater and the Council stated the needs of the
community and the willingness of the RDA and Council to give
assistance to acquire a theater for the community. The
representative of Edwards Theater never came back, therefore
they were offered the same type of assistance as Krikorian
Theater. Boardmember Alongi stated that he was certain that
the Representative of Edwards Theater was not aware that the
City would guarantee a$4,000,000 note.
Legal Counsel Harper noted that the purpose of the guarantee
is a practical matter, because North County Bank is limited by
their charter as to the size of the loans that they can give
absent a guarantee. He explained that it did not have
anything to do with the appraised value versus the loan; and
the bank was not unwilling to make the loan without the
guarantee, but they were precluded from doing so by their
charter.
Boardmember Alongi e~lained that he understands the bank's
position, but it does not alter the fact that Mr. O~Byrne
acquired a loan from the Agency for $3,300,000 for a seven
screen theater.
Boardmember Washburn called a point of order.
Vice Chairman Bender questioned the heiqht of the theater and
asked if there would be a negative impact on the property
behind it. City Planner Leslie stated that he has not
received plans on the addition, but he does assume that the
addition will not be any higher than the existing theater and
will cause no impact.
Chairman Pape closed the public hearing at 8:04 p.m.
PAGB SIS - REDSVELOPMENT AGENCY MINQTES - NOVEMBER 8~ 1994
Vice Chairman Bender stated that what has been done in the
past is done and the question before the Board is whether the
Agency is going to guarantee the $4,000,000 note for the
change in the project. He stated that he felt that more
theaters are more advantage to the City than more commercial.
He explained that he is not in favor of an open-end type
project since the Agency does not have the total cost of the
project or all the facts for the valuation. He noted that he
would like to see the City have a 60~ valuation with a maximum
of $700,000 for the theater. Mr. Bender stated that he is not
in favor of a full year extension for the restaurant, but felt
that six months would be reasonable.
Boardmember Brinley asked if Vice Chairman Bender intended
$700,000 to be the financial cap. Vice Chairman Bender stated
that he did mean for the $700,000 to be a cap until there is
a firm valuation and the City~s obligation would be 60$ of
whatever that valuation is on the whole package.
Boardmember Brinley stated that she would like to see a
completion date stated for the extra theaters as well as for
the restaurant.
Boardmember Alongi agreed with Vice Chairman Bender regarding
the commercial building, however Krikorian is building some
commercial in conjunction with the theater and his concern is
that he is not aware of the innovative ideas of Mr. Krikorian;
and how he will be able to generate the projected sales tax
from the retail shops within the theater. He stated that he
would like to see the theater open with the eight screens and
see how it does before there is any decision with regard to
expansion, to be sure that the community really needs more
before the Agency commits to more debt. He pointed out that
until there is something firm in regard to the restaurant he
is not in favor of doing more for this project. Boardmember
Alongi stated that he is not willing to obligate the Agency
any further without feasibility studies and proof of income
from the project. He stated that he hopes that the theater is
a success and he would be willing to support expansion if the
project will support the increase, but he would need to see
what the project does with the eight screens before committing
to more.
Chairman Pape noted that when the proposal for the theater was
originally brought before the Agency the meeting had such a
large attendance that it had to be moved to City Park; and
that most of the persons who spoke, were strongly in favor of
the theater. He stated that what is before the Agency tonight
is not regarding the current theater as planned, but rather
whether the new proposal makes economic sense; if the Agency
wishes to see two additional screens in the theater and what
risk will it place on the Agency by guaranteeing the
additional $700,000. He explained that the issue before the
Board is not for additional money out of pocket, but rather
the guarantee of the loan. Chairman Pape stated that when the
original proposal for the Theater was brought to the Agency,
it was going to be a negative cash flow to the City, and this
proposal now gives the Agency the opportunity to turn the
negative project around and allow it to become an even or
positive cash flow project. He reviewed the proposal and
noted the risk that the owner takes if a restaurant is not
PAGE SSVEN - RBDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MIN[TTES - NOVEMBER 8~ 1994
brought in. Chairman Pape explained that the Agency is not
putting up any money but guaranteeing the loan and that is a
loan to value of 60~ with lease assignments to the City.
Chairman Pape reminded the Board that the Bank is requiring
the guarantee because of their charter and not because of the
viability of the project.
MOVED BY BRINLEY, SECONDED BY WASHBURN TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT TO
THE DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE DELETION OF THE
FREE STANDING COMMERCIAL FACILITY AND APPROVE THE ADDITION OF 8,700
SQUARE FEET TO THE THEATER, AUTHORIZE THE ADDITIONAL GUARANTEE OF
$700,000 WITH THAT AMOUNT TO BE A CAP AND THE REVISED TAEATER
ADDITION AND SHOPS WILL BE COMPLETED BY AUGUST 30, 1995, AND
REPLACE THE TIME STATED IN THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT.
Boardmember Alongi stated that at the meeting that was moved
to the park, the majority of persons who attended were not
from the City. He made note of the fact that the projected
sales tax and tax increment includes a restaurant and not just
the theater and shops. He reminded the Board that the
restaurant is not in place and that the monies projected to be
received will be less. He explained that if the theater is
successful there will still be a shortage of funds until the
addition is complete and operational. Boardmember Alongi
stated that the bank sets the amount of loan limit in their
charter to secure their loans and make sure that they receive
the money back into their institution.
Boardmember Washburn called for the question.
Boardmember Alongi stated that the motion is open for
discussion and that it is his right to express his opinions
prior to the vote being taken. He stated that he did vote
against the project; however it is there and he is willing to
work toward seeing it be a success, but he does not feel that
this amendment is to the benefit of the community.
MOVED BY BRINLEY TO AMEND THE MOTION TO READ "$700, 000 OR 60$,
WHICHEVER IS THE LEAST AMOUNT". THE SECOND CONCURRED.
THE FOREGOING MOTION WITH AMENDMENT WAS APFROVED BY A VOTE OF 4 TO
