She indicated that she would rather see a community involvement type program such as Habitat for Humanity over an individual. She suggested changing the properties to condos and using the vacant lots to facilitate parking. She suggested a low income housing program, demonstrated by a video previously shown by Councilman Alongi. She further noted the sucess of this type of program in areas of Orange County.

(F:156.2) Vice Chairman Metze indicated that he pulled this item in response to a letter received from the contractor doing the job. He e~ressed concern that there have been several change orders because it was bid wrong. He questioned proper bidding and the surveyor costs. Executive Director Molendyk noted the letter regarding one of the major change orders, for an error in surveying and indicated that Caltrans has approved the payment so the construction can move forward, but staff's recommendation is to seek the money back through the surveyor's insurance. Public Services Director Tecca explained the change orders for the job and noted that they are only at about 2/3rd's of the available contingency funds. He explained that the contingencies are intended for unknown factors of a project.

Boardmember Pape noted that one contractor could ultimately get more money, while another gets less. He further noted the the Agency portion of this change order is about $8,200. Vice Chairman Metze noted the similarity between the amount of changes and the contingency account. Boardmember Alongi noted that the presented costs were too low, and questioned why the Board could not deny its portion and let Caltrans address their portion. He indicated that he can understand the other change orders. He noted taht there is doubt as to who's fault this is, and questioned why this is before the Board.

(F:87.2) Executive Director Molendyk explained that this program was established approximately one year ago and has been very successful for homebuyers and developers. He noted that the City receives a credit for the 20% set-aside requirements. He noted that a situation has been brough to our attention by the new HUD representative which triggered this item for consideration by the Board. William Shannon, representing Centex Homes, e~lained the their funds placed in the program for use by their homebuyers. He noted that ~IUD now says the money could be used by anyone in the program, even if they have not contributed, and stressed the concern this gives the developers. Legal Counsel Harper clarifed I~IUD's position on the matter and noted that it appears this will bring the program into compliance. He noted that if there is no future change PAGE FOUR - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY - MARCH 12, 1996 in the program as presented tonight, the program will most likely end. He indicated that he has spoken with the original developer who received assurances from IIUD at the beginning and he plans to pursue Further interpretation of the regulations. Mr. Shannon noted a program in 5an Bernardino for neighborhood housing assistance, and detailed the process. Mr. Harper noted that the San Bernardino program was the model for this program, and it was felt that HUD approval had been obtained. Mr. Shannon questioned the impact of this action on loans already in process. Vice Chairman Metze clarified with this action, there should be no problem in closing those loans, but recommended that no new ones be initiated until final con~rmations are obtained. Boardmember Pape inquired whether Centex was pursuing the matter with IIUD. Mr. Shannon indicated that they have been discussing the program with them for about the last week, but the biggest concern is the money in process right now. He noted the potential for develpers to work as a group. Boardmember Pape suggested a gentlemen's agreement to keep the program going until all has been straightened out with HUD. He noted that the rules appear to be changing, and stressed the need to obtain further clari~cation. Mr. Shannon indicated that it will really hurt them because of the number of homes they intend to construct. He concurred that the developers and the City should get together to find an alternative. Boardmember Pape suggested that this should be a topic for the next meeting to get it back on track.

Pi7BLIC COMII~NTS - AGENDIZED ITEMS Requests were received to address Item #1 and deferred to that discussion. DISCUSSION ITEMS 1. Proposed General Plan Amendment 96-3 (Komerica). (F:83.2) Community Development Director Leslie noted the prior considerations of this property/project. He detailed the prior Generai Plan designation and prior proposed projects and related concerns on the site, from the time of the 1990 General Plan Revision to present. He noted the plan presented to the City two months ago, representing a concept to provide a buffer zone with a park like setting, between the existing residential and the proposed commercial. Mayor Pape requested that Mr. Leslie point out the proposed park area. Mr. Leslie pointed out the area for the buffer/park area and detailed the proposed configuration of the site. Mayor Pape questioned the width of the grass area Mr. Leslie indicated that there was a total of 100 Feet, with about 50 feet of grass. Mayor Pape questioned the plan and the proposal for office space. Mr. Leslie clarified that the site configuration and noted that the proposed offfce space is presently zoned commercial. Mayor Pro Tem Keliey inquired whether there was letters of interest in this site from supermarkets. Mr. Leslie indicated that he has not received one. Richard Lugar, Attorney for Komerica requested that this Study Session be rescheduled, as they are preparing to present the new proposed plan. Mayor Pape suggested that they provide an overview of the project. Councilman Alongi questioned the width of the buffer area. Mr. Buck pointed it PAGE TWO - JOINT STUDY SESSION NIINUTES out and indicated that it is approximately 100 feet wide and 2.9 acres. Will Buck, 29610 Hague Street, noted that they did not request this Study Session, but are in the process of preparing the plan for submittal. He provided a new plan, and questioned the intent of the Study Session. Mayor Pape clarified the intent to discuss the property in general. Mr. Buck inquired whether the specific plan has been reviewed by the Council, and noted that they would provide a signal at Mountain & Lake Streets. He claritied comments he has heard and iudicated that Orangegrove Way was never to be made a four lane street He noted that there are a number of inaccurate comments circulating among the residents. He noted that the school district has never seen this plan, and explained the history of proposals on tlus site. He indicated that the low intensity nature of the newly proposed project, and meets and exceeds all State laws relating to projects near schools. He further indicated that the park will be dedicated back to the City and maintained by the Facility. He e~cplained that staff is requiring a complete revision of the Specitic Plan, and noted that the corner lot is being left vacant and available to the School; however if the School not interested in the lot, there would be nothing built on it. He stressed the willingness of the applicant to make tlris project work for the surrounding area Councilman Alongi questioned the size of the proposed marke~ Mr. Buck indicated that it is proposed at 43,000 square feet. Richard Luger, 3250 Wilshire Blvd., Ste. 1500, Los Angeles, noted telephone notice received on Tuesday at about 5 p.m., and his efforts to contact staff. He stressed that they are in the fmal stages of preparing the Specific Plan for submittal tomorrow. He e~cpressed belief that once the City staff and Council review the new plan there could be a more fruitful study session and address concerns. He stressed that the new spec'if'ic plan takes out the residential development and places a park like area with a mixed use of commercial/office/day care center and vacant area to alleviate school concerns. He expressed willingness to continue to work with the City to alleviate the concerns, and noted that they did submit written statements in connection with the Planning Commission meeting on May lst. Amy Rohrberg, 29116 Outrigger Street, representing some of the Centex residents, expressed concern that the meeting is being held at 3:00 p.m. and stressed t6e difticulty for residents to make this meeting. She requested that the Centex residents be included in this decision making process. Councilwoman Brinley n~quired whether those resfdents would support or oppose the proposed projec~ Ms. Rohrberg indicated that they have chosen no position at tlris time. Kathleen Foster, 29256 Northpointe Street, resident for nearly four years, expressed concerns relating to location near a shopping center including trash and shopping carts in the adjacent neighborhoods, the sound of large trucks unloading at night, etc. She indicated that when they purchased their home, they were told that there ~vould be no commercial development nearby. She further indicated that they don't need another park, as Summerlake park is nearby, and the proposed sight is coucealed and not easily policed. She also indicated that a new shopping center is inappropriate in light oF existing namber of vacant commercial buildings in the Community. She requested that the neighborhood be preserved and the subject property rezoned for single family homes. Don Foster, 29256 Northpofnte Street, noted the suggestion that there is an indication of a comruitment by a market. He explained that based on that information he did a survey, and none of the large market chains are planning to build on this site. He presented a copy of the survey to the Council, and noted PAGE THREE - JOINT STUDY SESSION MINUTES the provision of names and phone numbers of the representatives with whom he spoke. He noted concerns for access to the site and questioned why Komerica keeps saying they have a commitment. He concurred that the neighbors are looking for a supermarket, but expressed concern for additional vacant buildings. He commented that the signatures of support for the plan are by people who are in the county area or the immediate area, who were told that they were signing a petition to bring a Lucky's market. He also requested that the Council maintain the single family residential land use. Jack McColley, 29072 Palm View, noted the varying ways this project has been presented in the past; over a six year period. He noted that the residents have consistently voiced concerns in a sound manner, but the developers don't seem to understand that the neighbors don't want a market at that location and that there are plenty of other locations in the City. He indicated that a traffic signal at Mountain Street does not make sense due to the contiguration of the area He noted prior comments by Mr Buck with regard to the School District review of the plan, when Mr. Buck indicated that he was done talking to the School DistricL He noted that the Council has taken positive action to put tlris property to rest He stressed that the neighbors have consistently asked for single-family residential, and the projects have come up in a variety of forms, but always carry a heavy commercial use for the property. He further stressed that tlus is an opportunity to solve the issue, and encouraged adoption of the proposed General Plan Amendment. Chris McColley, 29072 Palm View, detailed the time line with regard to considerations on.this piece of property from original ownerslup, and noted the packets wluch have previously been presented to the City with regard to the proposals. She stressed the number of ineetings and discussions wluch occurred with Komerica when they purchased the project, and the denial in August of 1993, and noted that they have not heard from Komerica in the intervening two years. She also stressed the position of the School District with regard to this site, wluch does not support commercial development near schools. She quoted the E.I.R. with regard to Orangegrove Way and indicated that to facilitate the commercial development, there would be necessary street improvements. She commented that the potential for an additional traffic signal would be unreasonable. She expressed concern that the students would use tlds area for walking to Terra Cotta Middle School. She stressed that this would be a three side walled off parkway, and noted prior concerns expressed by the Fire Department with regard to one way ingress and egress. She reminded Council that this has been discussed for six years and various configurations have been proposed and nothing has ever been agreed upon. She commented that the basic concern is land use compatibility, and tlus doesn't fit with the surrounding uses. She indicated that the changes are pretty on paper, but won't work because they are not appropriate for the site. She further indicated that a market would be more appropriate in a more central location, and stressed that all City Council records point to R-1 zoning. Chris Hylaad, 15191 Wavecrest Drive, indicated that she is in favor of this shopping center as proposed. She further indicated that she has called all of the markets as well and none would give a Cirm response prior to specific plans and agreements being in place. She noted that when signatures were obtained 68% oF the adjacent tract were ia support of the development. She indicated that there is nothing wrong with this plan and stressed that there are lots of people who want the center at this location. She noted the potential For litigation and stressed the amount of litigation already underway. She indicated that she will personally bring an army in support of this project to the hearing. She expressed PAGE FOUR - JOIlVT ST[JUY SESSION MINUTES belief that the applicant should sue those who distributed a recent flyer regarding this proposaL Mayor Pape noted that there will be a future opportunity to speak at the public hearing. Councilman Alongi yielded the floor to Will Buck, and questioned the width of Orangegrove for the Specific Plan. Mr. Buck indicated that the work needed is the left turn lanes. Councilman Alongi questioned the tr~c signal. Mr. Buck indicated that Mr. Tecca had requested the traffic signaL Mr. Buck commented that he did meet with the school district, but did not meet with the residents on an ongoing basis. He noted a petition of support received by Council and commented on discussion with the Councilmembers Metze and Alongi. He noted that there is a problem with certain residents and their concerns; and they are not willing to negotiate, as they only want residential development on that site. Councilman Alongi questioned Community Development Director Leslie with regard to Komerica considerations, and questioned whether staff has written any letters opposing tlus project in any way or whether staff has any concern with the proposed projec~ Mr. Leslie indicated that there has been no letters from staff, but the staff reports have indicated that the project as proposed meets minimum standards as set forth in the General Plan. Councilman Alongi reiterated that the proposed project met City requirements. Mr. Leslie noted that the General Plan calls for a Specific Plan to work out the details of the development. Councilman Alongi noted that there has been many comments, but the concerns of the community are valid; but the Bomerica representatives have met the requirements of the City, but time to turn it over to the community to decide what they want He indicated that it was tirue to go out and get the opinion of the residents and ask Council to vote accordingly. He reiterated that the School concern bas now been eliminated, and the School District should work with the City to try to put the unit in there and not take it ou~ He noted that there are valid arguments on both sides and stressed the level of standards to be met. He indicated that he did not see the ability to deny the developer the right to build, but if the residents oppose the project they should take the burden of showing their support leveL He commented that it is impossible to please everyone, but suggested that the Community decide what they want. Councilwoman Brinley commented that she has heard tlus project from 1990 forward, sitting on the Planning Commission and now Council. She indicated that with regard to the School there was direction to meet with the homeowners and review concerns. She noted a letter received indicating that Mr. Buck attended the meeting with the School District and allegations were made about two District members. She stressed that the School Board has always voted against this project. She stressed concerns with unhappy neighbors, and the potential for loitering problems with students at the commercial center. She noted with regard to the petitions, all Plamring Commissioners recefved copies of them, and ample time was allowed to review them. She further noted that this matter will be returning to Counc~l for a Public Hearing. She indicated that she has a problem with the low visibility area of the park, and questioned how it would be lit. She commented that Summerlake Park is very close to this site. She further commented that in 1993, she met with the applicants, Councilman Alongi and the Homeowners' Steering Committee; and at that time the applicants were listening, but not hearing the discussions. She indicated that at the prior meetings, the Planning Commission has always been open to discuss the projeck She noted with regard to the shopping survey, on her own in 1994 she called all PAGE FIVE - JOIlVT STQDY SESSION MINUI~S of the same stores and talked to the development department with the same result; being that it is a nice place, but not where they wanted to be. Most wanted lugher traffic volumes and visibility such as along the I-15 freeway. She stressed that there have been meetings and public hearings for nearly 20 hours on this site. She indicated that the main factor is that shopping is needed, but stressed the importance of being selective. She noted that she has a problem with strip centers, and stressed the low level of occupancy in eaicting centers. She indicated that she wished that Komerica had met with the School District and residents to find a workable solution. She noted for the record when the District purchased the property for Terra Cotta School,this property was zoned agricultural or the District would have never purchased it. Mayor Pro Tem Kelley questioned Mr. Buck regarding the purchase of the property by Komerica, and whether they were aware of the opposition. Mr. Buck indicated that he did not know this information, as he was not involved until 1994. Mrs. Kelley noted a letter from the Schooi District on April 30th, opposing the zone change on tlris property. She stressed that this matter needs to be settled one way or the other to be compatible with the surroundings. She noted that the ne~rt step is the public hearing and the Council needs to reach a decision wluch is consistent and compatible. Mayor Pape noted that there will be an opportunity for comments during the public hearing. He thanked Ms. Rohriberg for her willingness to participate and provide input. He clarified that it is customary to have study sessions during the day to cut down on staff overtime and accommodate the developers. He noted that there has been much discussion on tlris item and much more to come in the next few weeks. He noted comments by the Foster's with regard to living near a center in Orange County. He further noted that many people moved here for less traffic, slower pace, quiet, etc. He concurred that Summerlake park is nice and extensively used. He noted that he is also wondering why the tin building is still standing after a drug lab was found on that site. He expressed appreciation to Mr. Foster for his efforts on the market survey, and stressed that the key is another market is needed on that end of the lake and the problem continues to get worse. He concurred that the existing market cannot accommodate the existing need, but noted that the question is if this is an appropriate site or if there is a more suitable location. He commented that he really would not want to see three traffic signals at Mountain, Orangegrove and Lakeshore, as it would be very difficult to get them timed to allow traffic to run smootlily. HE noted the comment by Mrs. McColley with regard to incompatible development, and questioned the most appropriate location. He inquired if Oraugegrove is to remain two lane, what is the main access. He questioned it width. Mr. Buck indicated that there will be 100 foot width on Mountain Street, and stressed that very wide residential streets exist. Mr. Pape questioned whether the fees had been paid for processing of tlds plan. Mr. Leslie indicated that none have been paid. Mr. Lugar clarified that the new plan would be submitted tomorrow. Mr. Pape questioned the fees due for the plan review. Councilman Alongi noted that the Council voted to waive additional fees back in 1994. Mr. Lugar requested that the Council, upon submission of the plan, set another study session prior to _ the public hearing. He indicated taht there is much to be drived for all the parties from a future study session. Mayor Pape questioned what new information might be presented. Mr. Lugar indicated that there will be new drawings and narratives to be reviewed in the contest of the new specitic plan and the plan should be considered in its entirety. THE STUDY SESSION WAS RECESSED AT 4:36 P.M. PAGE SII~ - JOIlVT S1'[JDY SESSION MIlVUTES THE STUDY SESSION RECONVENID AT 4:49 P.M. 2. Amended Eastlake Disposition & Development Agreemen~ 3. Revised Lehr Ontion Agreement. (F:134.~(X:68.1)(X:150.2) City Manager Molendyk presented a list of questions and concerns with regard to these items. City Attorney Harper indicated that tlris is the next step in the L.E.A. Settlement Agreement. He indicated among the necessary task were amending these documents, and a couple of other tasks are still pending. He provided a history of discussions beginning in the 1980's with Russell Grosse Development and the first Lehr Option Agreement to the present He further indicated that the bottom line is that as a practical matter nothing has changed He noted the interrelationship of the agreements, and commented that the Agency is the developer in the text of the agreement. He stressed that the Agency has no obligation to spend a dime under this agreement, and that the City/Agency is essentially the middleman. He indicated that there is basically the same o6ligation, although a little more direct with regard to the Agency. He clarified that issues of price, optfon agreement, etc., are irrelevant to the Agency as there will never be an obligation on the Agency to pay them. He noted that staff questioned the purchase price and that was agreed to back in 1989 with cost of living escalations. He commented that it carries a smaller interest rate than was payable under the original option. He stressed that there is no obligation on the Agency to make the payment, and the option agreement has no obligation on the Agency. He clarified that this is not an agreement to purchase property, but the price is a critical difference between the existing option agreement and tlus proposal. He indicated that under the current market it is acknowledged that the developer would have difficulty in advance fund purchase of the property, and this change allows development to occur followed by payment for the property. He stressed that the original prices don't work under the current economic market. HE explained that the Lehr's want an additional comfort level with the pledge of tax increment. He furhter explained that 100% of the increment from Eastlake is now pledged to infrastructure in Eastlake; and to clarify the arrangement the Lehr's have requested a direct pledge to them rather than to Eastlake only. He also explained that the increment would now be pledged to all existing outstanding obligations, second the building of a school site of approxunately $7.8 million dollars, third repayment to the Lehr's for purchase of their property. Agency no obligation under either agreement to make payments to anyone. He indicated that it is essentially the same as what exists today with take backs to address the settlement agreement, and requires that the check be paid by the developer first and if the contract is breached it no longer exists. He stressed the time and effort put into the agreement to date, and detailed the meeting with staff which addressed the questions raised. He noted that most of the questions are not issues if there is no obligation on the Agency. He reiterated that these documents are required to take the final step toward conveying the property to L.E.A., and the next step is the approval of a development agreement with L.E.A. which is already part of the settlemenk He explained that the lis pendens is then removed forever. Mayor Pape requested that Mr. Harper review the list of questions for staff. Mr. Harper detailed the list and clarified the issues. He noted that both documents are Redevelopment Agency documents and a lot depends on what an amendment of the specific plan means. Councilman Alongi requested clarification of the amendments required to the Lehr agrmk Mr. Harper indicated that the only amendment is to move the location of the property, because the property we now own, does not match up PAGE SEVEN - JOINT STUDY SESSION MINUI~S with what we need to convey. Councilwoman Brinley questioned whether it was an equal swap. Mr. Harper indicated that is what is proposed in the amendments. Councilwoman Brinley questioned the time constraints. Mr. Harper indicated that there is no time element, but if this agreement is approved, an escrow account will be opened for the boundary switch the nea~t day. Mayor Pape questioned performance bonds. Mr. Harper indicated they are not required, as they would be part of the tentative maps. Mayor Pape questioned direct costs associated with this amendment. Mr. Harper clarified that the "Agency" means "Developer" in this case or there is no exercise of the optioa Councilman Alongi stressed that the Agency is mentioned. Mayor Pape stressed that this would be as a condui~ Councilman Alongi suggested removal of "Agency" name if there is truly no obligation; he stressed that he feels in a corner because the City Attorney proivdes legal advise, but other staff inembers have concerns. He indicated that it would not be fair to make a decision without all concerns of staff being answered. He suggested that there is a need to answer questions in Closed Session, and he is not sure what changes would be legal. He indicated that he has a problem putting the City in an agreement when it should be the developer. Mr. Harper clarified that when they started restructuring the agreement it was suggested that it be a joint venture with developer; however the Lehr's feel they want to remain in the arrangement with the City. He explained that there are some benefits the Agency can give the Lehr's beyond what the developer can give. He further explained that the Lehr's will not enter into a direct agreement with E.C.B., as they want the Agency involvemen~ Mayor Pape questioned if this was a tax move on their part. Mr. Harper indicated taht it was more philiosophical, in that they are comfortable working with the City. He stressed the binding nature of the option agreement. Mayor Pape stressed that this was not going into harm's way, but would remove the lis pendens. Councilwoman Brinley stressed the amount of material to review and stressed that there are legal questions she has to disucss with the attorney. She indicated that she would like a Closed Session as she has a lot of questions. Mr. Harper indicated that it would be good to procede as quick as possible, bu the would have no objections to a delay. Councilwoman Brinley stressed the timing for receipt of the document, but indicated that he wouldn't want to rush the judgement. Mayor Pro Tem Belley questioned the substitution of "Developer" for "Agency" in the Option agreement. Mayor Pape questioned special assessments. Mr. Harper indicated that it is an issue of what happens with pledging tax increment to infrastructure. He indicated that the prior Council's felt significant enough that this was the only way Eastlake would develop. He stressed that the Agency has already pledged the increment in the D.D.A. Mayor Pape questioned the need for 100% of the increment. Mr. Harper indicated that ultimately after buildout the increment will be free to come back. Mayor Pape questioned the unpact of Par 3's project on this agreement. Mr. Harper indicated that it has no impact, as both parties are willing to work with Par 3. Mayor Pape questioned why RDA Area 1 is not part of the agreement. Mr. Harper indicated only reference to Area 1 is via the existing outstanding debt. He clariGed the payment of various area debts. Mayor Pape questioned the ! sports town site. Mayor Pape inquired whether the developer would be required to pay all escrow costs. Mr. Harper indicated that for the escrow costs, the developer will pay our half and the Lehr's are paying the rest. He stressed that the City/Agency is merely a conduit for the funds. Councilman Alongi questioned why the City/Agency has to get in the middle. Mr. Harper clarified the escrow account arrangement. Mayor Pape questioned land costs. Mr. Harper indicated that those are at the original prices and have not changed, the Agency does not have PAGE EIGHT - JOINT STUDY SESSION MIlVOTES to pay them. Mayor Pape addressed Page 21 regarding acquisition. Mr. Harper indicated that question was with regard to specific plan, wluch is governed by the existing development agreemen~ He noted that the Council has had a study session on the issues and L.E.A. is pressuring him so they can process maps. Mayor Pape inquired if there was any way to put in a devleopment schedule. Mr. Harper indicated there was not in these documents, as it is already in the development agreement Mayor Pape then questioned the boundary change or swap. Mr. Harper iadicated that essentially what we are doing is binding E.C.B. to the requirements of the settlement agreement with L.E.A. He claritied that the agreement really only shifts the boundaries, and stressed that all parties need to reach agreement. Mayor Pape questioned the issue of credit for weed abatement. Mr. Harper noted several versions of the agreement have been provided since January, and some page numbers are out of sync. City Manager Molendyk stressed that if the document truly says the City does not pay, staff can live with a lot of the issues. Mr. Harper stressed after a substantial meeting, staff was comfortable with the agreemen~ Mr. Molendyk concurred and inquired if there were additional questions. Mayor Pape questioned the defmition in the legal description. Councilwoman Brinley questioned the sale of property for the purchase price paid by the Agency. Mr. Molendyk clarified. Mr. Harper further claritied that there is no property in that category. Mr. Molendyk indicated that staff wants to make sure that the developer and the City are looking at the same thing. He stressed two miles of public beach land along the levee, and stressed the need to clarify this portion. He further noted that there is aiso some interest in seeing what benefit there is to races in the inlet channel. He noted the latest contiguration and the changes to the specific plan, and indicated that there has been no updated version seen by staff. Mr. Harper indicated with exception of moving the Stadium the developer is entitled to the specific plan, but we can address specific issues. Mr. Molendyk noted that the developer would be moving the golf course. Mr. Harper clarified that none of those changes have occurred, but reiterated that changes have been proposed, but they are not yet in place. Assistant City Manager Watenpaugh noted concerns by staff that the Council has approved two documents which are in conflict being the Lake Master Plan and the Spec~c Plan. He stressed the differences between the two, which will need to be resolved soon. Councilwoman Brinley questioned property acquired without charge. Mr. Molendyk claritied that would be the $2 million in property, purchased for the inlet channel, and noted that a portion was purchased with City dollars. Mayor Pape questioned page 26, to add "acquistion equal to what paid or fair market value whichever is greater", so we would not be giving away free. Mr. Weigei, representing Eastlake, indicated that he would need to go back to the partners. Mayor Pape questioned page 25 "no elcpenses to the City/Agency". Mr. Harper indicated that there will be issues to address, and stressed that the specific plan was adopted in 1993. He noted that the economic feasibility study is only a study, and not an agreement. Mayor Pape questioned Page 27, "Agency sharing in escrow fees as in normal industry practice". Mr. Harper indicated that this was regarding acquisition of the balance of the property, and not related to the Lehr option property. Councilman Alongi questioned the extension timing. Mr. Weigel indicated that it would remain the same as the original D.D.A. Councilman Alongi indicated that he was referring to the Lehr option wluch is up this December, 1996. Special Projects Coordinator Wood indicated taht date would be extended to March of 1998. Councilmau Alongi expressed concern PAGE NINE - JOIlVT STUDY SESSION 11~IINUTES with adding years to the agreement. He indicated taht if an extension of time is the bottom line, he doesn't have a problem, but would accept a one year maa~imum. Mr. Harper clarified the extension. Mr. Alongi stressed the amount of time left in the existing agreement. Mr. Harper further clarified that is ultimately the Council decision, but this consideration is becasue of L.E.A.'s settlement. Councilman Alongi stressed lus concern with the Agency being listed in the document, and stressed that he doesn't want the City involved any more. Councilwoman Brinley questioned the Eminent Domain potential on Page 29, with regard to entering an agreement and holding harmiess, and not holding title company liable. Mr. Harper indicated that this only says we went through the condemnation process properly, and with a final order of condemnation will only issue the money. Mayor Pro Tem Kelley questioned Page 47 of the D.D.A., regarding public unprovments, infrastructure, utilities and who pays for what. Mr. Harper indicated that the City is not in control of oversizing of water, sewer, etc., but that is language taken from the settlement agreement. He explained that the City/Agency would not pay for oversizing unless we require the oversizing. He explained the cap on the amount. Mayor Pro Tem Kelley questioned the school mitigation agreement. Mr. Harper indicated that it does not literally exist, but the general plan requires entering into such an agreement. He explained that the next step is to go to the District with the pledge of tax incremen~ Mrs. Kelley qeustioned the pledge of increments. Mr. Harper reiterated the pledge of increment in place, and stressed the order of the pledge. Councilwoman Brinley questioned Page 45 "phasing of amenities" in the D.D.A., and whether they would be at no cost to the City. Mr. Harper conf"umed and related this back to the L.E.A. agreemen~ He explained that L.E.A. is responsible for their own off-site improvements. Councilwoman Brinley questioned Page 48 regarding "exchange of the parking site, costs borne by the developer". Mr. Harper confirmed, and noted that the quality of the lot is up to the City. Mrs. Brinley reqeusted conf"u•mation that all fees for the swap will be picked up by the developer. Mr. Harper indicated taht there won't be any cost because the developer will have acquired the property. Administrative Services Director Boone addressed the Senior Lien Debt. Mr. Harper indicated that this is a question regaring payment for the federal loan. He indicated that he has approached all parties involved and that is not acceptable to them, as it is an obligation of the Redevelopment Agency. Mr. Molendyk indicated that the existing tax increment should meet the obligations of the Agency, and it is not doing so. He indicated that the Agency will be $869,000 in the hole with the signature of this agreement. Mr. Bnone cont'umed. Mr. Harper indicated that comment does not consider any refunding of the existing debt. Mr. Boone indicated that we have refunded all we can except one area CounciLnan Alongi questioned when the ballpark was combined with all three Redevelopment areas. He indicated that this is setting the City/Agency up for financial disaster. Councilwoman Brinley questioned putting ourselves behind an obligation we cannot afford. Mayor Pape clarified that the increment from future building will be involved and if no building is seen, the ' increment would be zero. Councilman Alongi stressed that investors should pay their share. Councilwoman Brinley questioned the problem with L.E.A.

A Revised and Amended Lehr Option A¢reement. MayorBoardmember Pape noted that these items were continued from the last regular meeting. MayorBoardmember Pape opened the Joint Public Hearing at 7:20 p.m., asking those persons interested in this item to speak. The foliowing people spoke: Edith Stafford, 54 Elm Street, noted that she is within the plan for the Eastlake Development. She questioned the ability to amend the specific plan without giving all property owners an opportunity to do so. She further questioned the recommendation to approve the agreement. Mayor Pape indicated that there would be responses provided later in the public hearing. Dick Knapp, City Treasurer, indicated that this is a terrible agreement, and suggested a 5 or 6 page agreement would have been much better. He expressed concern that there is no ending date, it is a give away situation and the developer missed the last two payments on the option agreement. He suggested that the Council take an additional six months to review the agreement. He questioned the compounding of interest, and release of a portion of the property. He inquired whether there was an agreement as to what the developer will do with the LEMA property, as it is not spelled out. He indicated that the proposed agreement is a waste of paper. MayorBoardmember Pape asked for additional persons wishing to speak on the matter. Hearing no one, the public hearing was closed at 7:26 p.m. Councilwoman/Chairwoman Brinley requested responses by City Attorney/Legal Counsel Harper to the questions by Mrs. Stafford. City Attorney/Legal Counsel Harper indicated that this action is recommended by City Attorney, as he has negotiated the agreement for approximately six months. He reminded CounciUBoard that the Agreement is necessitated by the settlement with Lake Elsinore Associates. He explained that this is an amendment to meet the needs and context of the situation and requirements. He noted that there is a need to analyze all of the documents in the context of each other. He stressed the relationship between the Disposition and Development Agreement, the Option Agreement and the settlement with L.E.A. He reminded Council that there is a Development Agreement, a Disposition & Development Agreement, and an Option Agreement which have been existing since 1993. He explained the requirements of the L.E.A. Settlement Agreement, and stressed that there are a variety of requirements, but the first step is to move the property which the City currently owns to the next most logical property to develop. He noted that the original agreement was entered because of the tremendous infrastructure costs associated with the project. He detailed the negotiations with the Corps of Engineers on this area, and detailed the past participants up to and including the Eastlake Community Builders. Councilwoman/Chairwoman Brinley questioned the L.E.A. settlement and the Lehr option. City Attorney/Legal Counsel Aarper clarified. Mrs. Brinley PAGE THREE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES questioned why Mrs. Stafford was not notified of this action. Mr. Harper clarified that the change only impacts the Lehr property, and not other area property owners. He explained the right of the developer to approach the property owners within the Eastlake area on specific issues. Mrs. Brinley questioned the affect on her property. Mr. Harper indicated that there is no direct impact on her property or change from the current status. Mrs. Brinley questioned the SAWPA property. Mr. Harper indicated that the SAWPA property would be sold if the developer chooses at the price for which it was acquired, or the fair market value, whichever is greater. He clarified further that the only property directly affected is that held by the Lehr's and does not change anything for the other property owners, from what exists today. Mrs. Stafford questioned the negotiations with the City. Mr. Harper further clariTied that the developer has the right to approach the property owners to acqufre their property. Mrs. Stafford questioned what would happen if no agreement was reached and whether it would go back to the City. Mr. Harper indicated that it would not. CouncilmanBoardmember Alongi expressed concern with the City getting involved in this negotiation. He indicated that the City should not be involved in this process and go back into litigation with L.E.A. He questioned whether this would pay the federal debt for the levee, and noted that the City/Agency is in terrible trouble with the budget already. He noted that the dealings have not been in good faith, and noted that without the City, the Lehr property would be useless. He commented that the City has bent over backwards to work with the Lehrs and Eastlake. He further commented that the original plan and the most current propposal, stress investment to try to make money for the City. He indicated that he is appalled by those involved in this action. Mayor Pro TemBoardmember Kelley indicated that she was glad this item was pulled last time and time was altowed for a study session and review of the contract. She indicated that she was not thrilled with every aspect of the agreement, but the existing agreement from 1993 cannot be changed. She stressed that this is only a vote on the amendment. She expressed concern with the RDA debt in the floodplain, and indicated that it is important to settle the agreement to allow for development by interested parties. She indicated that while the entire situation is upsetting, it is best to go with the agreement. Councilwoman/Chairwoman Brinley commented that this Council is bound by the previous Council's actions and there is not a lot options for this Council. She stressed the need to recoup some of the money by allowing for development. MayorBoardmember Pape noted questions with regard to the RDA paying interest, and stressed that the Agency is merely a pass-through behveen the developer and the Lehrs. He commented that with regard to the SAWPA property, the had agreed to adding a clause for fair market value or what was paid for the property, whichever is greater, Councilman/Vice Chairman Metze concurred with Mrs. Kelley that this is a Catch 22 situation; but indicated that he was not sure this was the time to restart a lawsuit. He indicated that the only option appears to be to go with the approval of the agreement. Mayor Pro TemBoardmember Kelley questioned the changed verbiage with regard to the SAWPA land, and whether the CounciUBoard will receive the corrected page. Mr. Harper indicated that it would be included in the final agreement.

Camelot Properties - Theater Agreement Eatension. (F:134.7) City Manager Molendyk explained the background of tlvs item and the previous approval of a Disposition and Development Agreement. He noted the proposed expansion by Regal Cinemas and recommended Boazd consideration following comments by the developer. Leonard OByrne, Camelot Properties indicated that he is asking to have the time limit to build out phase two moved from 12/31/96 to 12/31/97. He further indicated that this yeaz's payment is due this week, and noted that there was some uncertainty due to the transfer from Krikorian to Regal Cinemas. He noted that Regal is a substantially larger company with approximately 2,000 screens. He explained that he has received a proposal for four more screens at the theater, and he is not asking for more money. He clarified that he has a written proposal from Regal and the architect has already been hired to prepare the plans which should be complete in Mid-January. He requested concurrence from the Board as required by the agreement, to grant an e3rtension of time. He stressed that the project will be coming to the Boazd for review and they are prepared to proceed with the expansion. Chairwoman Bririley questioned when the theater was purchased by Regal Cinemas. Mr. O'Byrne indicated that negoriations started shortly after the Krikorian operung, but the sale did not close until June of 1996, and the proposal followed the closing. Chairwoman Brinley noted that there are several agreements for Regal to work under. Mr. O'Byrne stressed the size of Regal Cinemas and the present efforts to expand. He noted that Regal is the strongest cinemas chain in the market, and stressed the security of the company. Boardmember Metze questioned the advantages of expanding to 12 screens. Mr. O'Byrne indicated that new movie theaters aze being built wrth 24 screens. He noted that Lake Elsinore is able to show all of the first run movies because this is an "open zone" for theaters. FIe stressed the potential for keeping first run movies (onger. He further noted the number of releases within the industry and explauied that the e~ctra screens would allow for more showings of the first run movies. Boardmember Metze e~cpressed curiosity with the exhibit presented. Mr. OByrne noted that he received questions on the fiscal impact of the agreement with the RDA, and tkris exhibit is based on the tax bills including the K-Mart and the theater site. He indicated that the theaters can not stand alone, and the other tenants subsidize the Center. He explained the fiscal impact of the Center beginning when he took over the property and noted the taxes prior to development vs. after development. He stressed that it has been a positive fiscal impact to date. He noted that he has reviewed the information with Mr. Boone, but would be happy to provide the ta~c bills. Boardmember Kelley questioned the tax increment for the theater for the last year. Mr. O'Byrne indicated that it is approximately $45,000 on the theater side this year, plus Sales T~es of about $5,000 to $7,000, for a total of about $51,000. He stressed the increases in the increment since construction. Boardmember Kelley noted the letter from Regal Cinemas regarding the hiring of an azchitect and commented that they are obviously PAGE THREE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY 1VII1~iUTES - NOVEMBER 12,1996 confident that they can expand. Mr. OByrne presented a letter received last night from Thomas Birch and read the letter which detailed the expansion and conceptual layout. Boardmember Kelley noted that she is in a quandary over the contract as she came onto the Board in the middle ofthe contract and noted the amendments. She stressed her effort to weigh the facts. Mr. O'Byrne clarified the build out of the existing landscaping, and noted that some was just replanted. He noted that there is approximately $130,000 in landscaping on the theater side alone; and K-Mart is responsible for their improvements, and they aze working on it. He noted the difficulty of the existing design and expressed hopes for build out of those pads with this expansion. He stressed the situation as it exists today, and noted that the only option is to default on the lease for K-Mart. Mrs. Kelley commented that this a RDA backed loan, and concurred that it would be in the best interest of the Agency to keep the center going. She indicated that she would be more comfortable with some performance requirements, and would like to pin down a date to have the plans before the Council by a set date. Mr. OByrne stressed his reliance on the build out to make the project work. Mrs. Kelley stressed that she is trying to weigh the options, and noted that she doesn't want a vacant shopping center. Mr. O'Byrne noted that the original plan was for a$4 million value and advised that the site has been built and expanded by their company, and they have performed and financed the required improvements. Mrs. Kelley stressed her efforts to weigh the decision, and expressed concern with additional extensions. She expressed appreciation for the letter provided. Boardmember Alongi noted that he has been through this dance twice before, and commented that the discussion previously was with the same excuses as now. He further noted that Mr. O'Byrne had been quite certain that the last extension would allow for build out. He indicated that he is against this e~ctension. He further indicated that he would have no problem extending for 20 yeazs, but every day the development sits, it is costing the citizens through the Redevelopment Agency. He took a position to allow the extension, but suggested that payments should be ceased until the project is complete. He questioned the cost of bonds to fund this project. He expressed concem that even the letter presented does not assure that there will be additional screens there neact year. He questioned when the expansion will be built. Mr. O'Byrne indicated that it will have to be built nea~t year to open in either May or November. Mr. Alongi concurred that the proposal needs to have Council concurrence prior to spending additional funds down the line. He expressed concern with paying for something we don't have and stressed the intent of the original agreement and extension. He further expressed concern with the continuing expenditure of funds, and noted that with Proposition 218 it is difficult to justify expending additional t~es. He indicated that he did not mind e~ctending, but wanted to protect the coffers of the Community. Mr. OByrne indicated that without the subsidy the project will not work, and stress~d that it was never tied to any amount, but he has already built out more than was originally projected. CounciLnan Alongi noted that he voted for the original approval. Mr. O'Byrne stressed the original vote on the project and the increased value of the project. He stressed that he has performed to the letter of what was required, and noted the factors out of his control for compieting the expansion. Mr. Alongi stressed that he is back for another extension. Mr. O'Byrne noted that he is requesting tentative support of the Boazd to proceed. Boardmember Pape noted that this is a site plan adjustment and questioned what is in the best interest of the community; more theaters or more commercial stores. He stressed that the economy and the City have changed and indicated that he thinks rt would be bettes with movie screens than with more retail shopping centers. He noted the delay caused when the theater was sold from Krikorian to Regal, and stressed the benefits to the City. He concurred that it is to their benefit to get it built out, and they are still moving forward, having hired an architect. He commented that while the original approval may have been a bit premature, but it was supported by the people in the community and the only way to proceed was with RDA assistance. He stressed the level of public support at ~AGE FOUR - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - NOVEMBER 12,1996 the original meeting, and noted that they aze still dealing with details of the plan to fine tune the project. He commented that it is better to be keeping in step with the Community plan. He detailed the history over the last year with the extension appro~umately one year ago, and the unanticipated delays in the escrow and transfer. Dick Knapp, 17261 Bromley, concurred with Boazdmember Alongi's comments on this project with regazd to delays; and suggested that some progess should have been seen over the last yeaz to justify the extension. He expressed concern with the $94,000 and potential for an increase. He noted that these are h9s areas of interest as the City Treasurer and a resident. He suggested a three month allowance for a reasonable proposal, but not one yeaz. Chairwoman Brinley concurred with Boardmember Pape and noted the Escrow delays. She noted that it is difficult to get a large corporation to proceed on work, and asked if it was feasible to plan and give a comfort level for performance. She questioned agreement for plans and the re(ated time. Mr. O'Byrne indicated that he will bring the plans to staff by mid-January; and noted the need to resolve issues with parking areas. Mrs. Brin(ey stressed that a comfort level for both sides would help, and questioned the potential for consideration at the first meeting in February. Mr. O'Byrne indicated that he will bring it as soon as possibie, upon receipt. Mrs. Brinley stressed the need for updates on the project as it proceeds. Mr. O'Byrne indicated that he will meet with Community Development Director Leslie in mid-7anuary. Mrs. Brinley stressed the economics discussed last year for the e~rtensioq and noted that the request had been for a two year extension at that time. She stressed the number of developers requesting extensions due to the economy and noted that the Governor signed legislation for automatic extensions under State Law. MO~ED BY PAPE, SECONDED BY METZE TO APPROVE THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST FOR A TIlVIELINE EXTENSION AND AMENDMENT TO THE DISPOSiTION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND RESOLUTION NO. 95-8, WTTH THE PLANS TO COME TO STAFF IN 1V~-JANUARY AND GO TO PLANNING COMII~SSION IN FEBRUARY. Boardmember Alongi requested clarification that this would relate only to the theater and not the rest of the project. Mr. O'Byrne confirmed and indicated that they are not yet certain how the rest of the project will lay out. ~ FOREGOING MOTION CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE. $UBLIC COMMENTS - NON-AGENDIZED TTEM Aione Requested.

Tammy Fruin, 2nd ~ce President, explained that in order to improve communication between the City and Chamber it is proposed that there be some quarterly breakfast meetings with representatives from the City and Chamber meet on an informal basis to discuss what is happening within the City and Chamber. Mayor Pape stated that this issue was discussed before and asked if it was still proposed to he held at Park Plaza. Nck Nash, President agreed that it could be he heId there. City Manager Molendyk explained that this meeting is auned at improving communication between the Chambe~ and the City. He noted Yhat this item is one suggestion for better communication and if the Council and the Chamber concur, then Vicki Kasad and Tarruny Fruin can coordinate. 2. Bi-Annual Studv Session with Council. Both Boards concurred that this shou]d continue. 3. West End of Lake- June Water Saorts Event with RV Parks. President Nash expluned that a number of activities have been held in the downtown area PAGE TWO - JOINT STUDY SESSION - DECEMBER 5, 1996 and this would inciude activities appropriate to the West end facilities. This wouid also encourage tourist/commercial activities on that end of the City. He stated that the Chamber is considering a Pro/Am Jet Ski Race. City Manager Molendyk explained that this would stunulate business on the west end of the City and be compatible with the businesses that aze located there. President Nash stated that this will be family oriented and can generate a following much like the Grand Prix. He explained that this is in the discussion process that this tune. 4. Jul_y 4th Plan and Schedule. City Manager Molendyk explained that in the past the City has played a major role in providing 4th of July programs and due to budget constraints the City has had to withdraw the'u 4th of July support. He further explained that in an effort to continue the celebrations, the Chamber took on the responsibility of the fireworks, concert and ivfini Grand Prix. He noted that the Muu Crrand Prix was successfui, but the weather was faz too hot for the event and it has been discussed that this should be moved to a time when the weather is cooler. He noted that the rest of the activities did not pay for themselves, therefore the Chamber is going to have to review the'u position. He stated that in the past, the community has expected the Chamber or the City or both to provide some type of community program for July 4th and neither organization sees that opportunity for neact year, therefore it is being brought forward for discussion. He gave an overview ofthe past history of the 7uly 4th celebrations. City Manager Molendyk stated that it had been suggested that the City and Chamber support whatever the Storm might be doing. He noted that at this point there are no plans for the next 4th of Jufy. President Nash explained that the Storm does not have an activity on the 4th of 7uly, and the first possible date would be their game on July Sth. He noted that one method that was used in the past were cans placed in various locations for donations from the community to support the fireworks. He pointed out that the more money raised, the larger the show provided. He stated that 4th of 7uly could be sponsored by some. commercial group as well. Mayor Pro Tem Kelley asked how much the fireworks cost last year. President Nash stated that they cost between $7,500 and $8,000. Mayor Pro Tem Kelley asked what the City has spent. City Manager Molendyk explained that the Chamber put on about half the show that the City has done and in previous years the City spent $I5,000 on the fireworks disp(ay. President Elect Tom Thomas explained that when people have the ability to look up in the air and not pay for the gate fee, the cost recovery is poor. City Manager Molendyk explained that no matter what effort the Chamber or City puts forward, the question of staff is still not solid and the Chamber feels that they only have vo(unteer resources to do two or three events and this must be considered. City Manager Molendyk reminded the group that any event planned for the 4th of July must be considered now, since the event must be firmed up in March for the following July and someone must sign the contract and front the money for the deposit; and there would not be enough donations to cover it by then. He noted that there aze rivo many unknowns. 2nd Vice President Fruin asked if the City Council would be willing to work with the Chamber to create a way to raise funds for the 4th of July. Councilwoman Brinley noted that Proposition 218 has created problems that make it impossible for the City to comrnit staff that we don't know if we aze going to have. She stated that we are going to have to work together. PrAGE THREE - JOINT STUDY SESSION - DECEMBER 5, 1996 There was a proposal to set an interim committee to address the 4th of 7uly. Dan Metze and Larry Regis volunteered for the committee to bring ideas and suggestions back to the next quarterly meeting. Councilman Metze stated that this will be an education process for the public to let them know that the Ciry and Chamber aze working on the 4th of July ce(ebrations and they will have to participate. 5. Mini-Grand Pria. President Nash stated that at their last Board Meeting it was decided that the Chamber will put the Muii Grand Prvc on themselves and there has been no firm date set at this time. He explained the factors discussed regarding the date. He noted that it has been proposed to donate a portion of the proceeds to the Library to help continue services in the City. He explained that at the December 19th Meeting t6e date will be chosen. 6. Press Releases - Citv and Chamber President Elect Thomas explained that the Chamber would like to work with the City on positive press releases. He made note of the negative press that has been printed in the pasY and further noted that the Chamber would like to work with the City to encourage positive press to improve the image of the City. He stressed the importance of communication between the City and Chamber to coordinate releases. 7. Trade Shows - Citv and Chamber. - President Elec[ Thomas explained that they would like to continue Yo be involved with the City at the Trade Shows. He noted that this gives them the opportunity to distribute literature and encourage dollars to be contributed by the different businesses in the community to promote the City. President Nash stated that there was an amazing amoun4 of positive feed-back from the Boat Trade Shows. City Manager Molendyk noted that there has been good response from the various Trade Shows tha4 the City has participated in, in Yhe past. He further noted that there has been no money set aside to continue this, however a joint venture could be arranged with an established business to continue participation. President Elect Thomas stated that Pete Dawson has told him that the RV. Parks aze receptive to helping with the 4rade shows. Mayor Pro Tem Kelley asked if there is a way to have a Boat Show in Lake Elsinore. City Manager Molendyk explained that the City is limited on money and staff and noted the cost just to buy a space; and the cost to produce one here would be very expensive. Councilman Metze asked about a Business Expo. President Elect Thomas noted that in the past the Chamber has sponsored Business Expos and it has been more (ocal businesses Yhan others from outside the azea with give aways and drawings. He stated that they would lilce to do this again and use it to introduce the public to the diffecent types of businesses available in the Vapey. He noted that they will have to pick a location and proceed. PAGE FOUR - JOINT STUDY SESSION - DECEMBER 5, 1996 8. Youth Seminar - Countv ProQram 12. Communitv Action PlanninQ Workshoa Involvement - LEUSD. City Manager Mo(endyk explained that these two items go together and noted that last year the County Supervisors sponsored a two day conference which addressed how to work together to solve some of the youth issues in society today. Ae noted that there were facilitators that worked with the whole group, and then they broke into groups of ten to work on issues within their own communities and set goals. Fie noted that the hope is to get more community and business leaders to participate in both programs. He stated that he wanted to bring this up early enough to place on their calendars to attend the different programs such as CAP. Mayor Pro Tem Kelley explained that Mayor Pape and Councilwoman Brinley attended last year and there are approximately 150 to 200 people from Lake Elsinore; and she felt that the business community should be involved since they would receive a lot and be able to contribute solutions to the different topics. City Manager Molendyk stated that it would be really good to have a table of business men and women from Lake Elsinore at the County Youth Seminar as well as attendance at the CAP Conference which could be a panel of business persons who present issues to the Workshop. He noted that currently the seminars aze geared to education and do not address the issues of the businesses. Councilman Metze explained that businesses that have attended in the past, have gven valuable input and he felt that they were a valuable resource. City Manager Molendyk stated that he would suggest that Dr. Long from the School District be sure to add invitations to the local businesses. He noted that he would get back to the Chamber with the dates of the different seminazs so that the date can be set aside. Mayor Pape noted that Items 17 and 18 will be taken out of order since Councilwoman Brinley has to leave and she would Wce to discuss these items. 17. 1997 BuildinQ Rent AQreement. Mayor Pape called upon Donna Morin to address the Joint Boards. Donna Morin of the Lake Elsinore H'istorical Society, stated that they use the back of the Chamber of Commerce building and need to stay apprised of what is happening with the new lease since it will impact their museum. She asked where they will be afte~ January 31 st. City Manager Mo(endyk stated that the building was cleaned up several years back with the Chamber in mind. He noted that the Chamber and the Ii'istorical Society have been sharing this year and the rental fee was waived due to the economic situation that the Chamber was experiencing. He stated that the Chamber has not completely recovered and they are requesting that the City Council consider a waiver for 1997. President Nash stated that they would like to keep the H'istorical Society in the back as it is now. He explained that it serves a dual purpose. He stated that it is one way for the City to help the Chamber and they in tum can help the City through promotion. Mayor Papa c]arified the current rental status. PAGE FIVE - JOINT STUDY SESSION - DECEMBER 5, 1996 Councilwoman Brinley stated that she felt that the rental agreement should be reconsidered. She noted that the City has always been supportive of the Chamber and she feels that at times there has been a lack of support for the City from the Chamber, especially in recent economic hazd times. She explained that she feels that it is important to have open communications, and that the issues need to be examined and addressed. Councilwoman Brinley explained that the rent foe the building is set at $300 per month and she is aware that the Chamber is in the process of restructuring and it seems like a lot of money, but the City is also facing financial problems. She noted the cost of maintenance and lighting of the pazking lot which the City is responsible for and she feels that the City will have to examine its position. She pointed out that the building could be rented for more than the $300 currently set and possibly the City Council and Chamber could negotiate lower than the $300, but still give the City the opportunity to recover some of the costs related to the building. Mayor Pro Tem Kelley asked if there was a dollar cost for the maintenance of the building. PubGc Works Manager Payne stated that the $300 does not cover the cost of the building. He noted the costs include janitoriai, electric, and water; and stated that the monthly cost is appro~cimately $500 to $600, with landscaping as an additional cost. City Manager Molendyk stated that in fauness to the Chamber, the City is not prepared to make any unprovements to the Chamber such as painting the inside and outside of the building. Councilwoman Brinley stated that she is not saying that the rent should be raised, since she is awaze that we cannot do improvements, but she feels that a certain amount of the cost should be recovered. President Nash stated that most cities do support the'u Chambers and noted that the City of Perris just gave their Chamber $20,000. Councilwoman Brinley pointed out that this City has done that in the past for the Chamber. She stated that she understands the Chambers predicament and hopes that they understand the City's predicament. President I~'ash explained that they do understand, but they aze the ambassadors of the City and the businesses and he feels that this is a minor amount for the City to fund to receive what the Chamber gives. Councilwoman Brinley stated that she does not disagree with what the Chamber does, but these aze hazd budgetary time. She noted that about t 8 months ago the City gave the Chamber $25,000 and when the City has it to give they do, but the budget does not currently allow for this. She pointed out that both the Chamber and the City Council aze ambassadors for the community and are accountabte. President Nash questioned if $3,600 is really going to make a diL'erence to the City. Councilwoman Brinley stated that it would help to pay a bill. Larry Regis stated that whether the Chamber is in 4he building or not, the landscaping and lighting aze still maintained. He noted that what the City needs to address is whether the Chamber is worth $3,600 a yeaz in the services they provide the City. Councilman Alongi stated that when the building was originally redone, the back of the building was always supposed to house the F~istoric Society and the front of the building was for the Chamber of Commerce. City Manager Molendyk stated that in fact the back was rebuilt as a conference room to be used by the Chamber when the City did not have immediate need of it. He noted that the Historical Society came in later. PAGE SIX - JOINT STUDY SESSION - DECEMBER 5, 1996 Second Vice President Fruin stated that perhaps the Chamber could issue business licenses to off set staf£ng costs to the City and this could be a form o£pay-back to the City for the use of the building for the Chamber. She noted that several cities use their Chamber of Commerce for this purpose and it allows them the opportunity to make contact with each new business as it comes to the City and will allow them the opportunity to promote new businesses coming to the City. She explained that in this way they can help the City and the City would be helping them. Councilwoman Brinley questioned if they were willing to assume that much responsibility. Second Vice President Fruin stated that they would be willing to try anything to assist the City to help de&ay costs. She noted that the reason that the rent was off-set last year is because the Chamber agreed to bring a major event to the City to bring new faces to the Downtown area; agreed to assist Marlene with trade show booths; and distribute packets to new members of the community. She further noted that they have met all of the points of the agreement and she fe(t that they had shown that they were willing to assist the City and in turn this off-sets the cost of the building for them. She pointed out that she felt that this was worth at least $3,600 a yeaz to the City and saves staffcost and time. Councilwoman Brin]ey agreed that the Chamber has done what they agreed to do, however she pointed out that the building could be rented out immediately for $300 a month. Mr. Regis concurred that the City could rent the building out for $300 a month, but noted that the City could not hire staffto do what the Chamber does for even $6,000. He pointed out that the City is trying to cut staff and this will Gmit the amount of services provided and if the Chamber continues to provide service, that is a great savings for the City. Councilwoman Brinley stated that she does feel that the Chamber provides a service, but they aze not City staff. She noted that she is not denying what the Chamber accomplishes, and she is not saying that she does not want to work with them, but what she is concemed with is the budget costs; and if the Chamber is willing to take on more responsibility, then she could be comfortable with waiving the rent. She stated that possibly a soft contract could be drawn up that could list the different responsibilities that the Chamber will assume in lieu of the rent for the building. City Manager Molendyk explained that the Chamber is willing to do two or three things in exchange for the rent of the building and this could be something similaz to last yeaz when they agreed to promote the downtown area. He suggested that one of the things that the Chamber might do is assist the merchants on the north or west end oF the Lake. City Manager Molendyk stated that Business Licenses is a subject which involves accounting and he was not sure it was wise to take that item from City Hall; but he pointed out that the Chamber could make the license application available to make it easier on the new business person coming into the community. President Elect Thomas stated that the Chamber does not have a large base of dues and it will probably be several years down the road before they reach that point; and $3,600 would account for approximately 8% of the'u budget so it is a major impacc on their finances. President Nash stated that he feeis that they can assist the City in their endeavors as far as relocation packets and press releases to take some of that burden. He noted that they want the City to be successful and they want the Chamber to be successful and they need the City's help to do it. CounciUnan Alongi asked how many members the Chamber has. President Nash stated that they have approximately 280 members. PAGE SEVEN - JOINT STUDY SESSION - DECENLBER 5, 1996 Mayor Pro Tem Kelley asked what type of events the Chamber would be willing to do. President Nash stated that they will do the Grand Prix, the Expo's, Student of the Month Program, and Student of the Year with Community Pride Day. Councilman Metze stated that he felt that the City receives more than their money's worth from what the Chamber does. He further stated that he felt that the rent was worth what the Chamber does. Second ~ce President Fruin stated that they assist wherever they can and noted that during the Grand Prix they had rivo volunteers keep the Chamber open to answer phones and address the walk-in traffic that needed direction since the City was not open to the public and there was no information center. She stated that it was not asked of them, but they felt that it would be heipful. Councilman Alongi stated that it was beneficial to the Chamber to do so. Second Vice President Fruin stated that it was beneficial to the City as well as the Chamber. Councilman Alongi stated that the Chamber has a function and the City has a function but there is a responsibility to pay our fair share. President Nash and President Elect Thomas stated that they felt that they did, pay their fair share. Councilman Alongi asked for the figures on the landscaping. Public Works Manager Payne stated that it is $ I50 a month which drives the total cost of maintenance up to approximately $750 per month. Ciry Manager Molendyk stated that the rental agreement runs out January 31 st, and asked that a member of Council work with him to meet with Chamber representatives and work out a.renta( agreement which will be brought back to Council in January. He noted that staff feels that they have a good working relationship with the Chamber Boazd and further noted that they did what they said they were going to do last yeaz. City Manager Molendyk reminded everyone at the table that there could be a reevaluation on June 30. Mayor Pape appointed himself and the City Manager to meet with President Elect Thomas as well as Donna Morin from [he Historica] Society to form an agreement. Mayor Pro Tem Kelley asked that severa! different options and plans be presented to Council to give choices. COUNCILWOMAN BRINLEY LEFT THE ivIEETING AT 420 P.M. Mayor Pape asked about outstanding Chamber invoices. City Managet Molendyk noted that the City has invoiced the Chamber in the amout of $10,690. He noted that during the 4th of July celebrations a street light was pulled down by a mattress truck which cost $7,034; Rodeo Traffic Inspection in the amount of $1,167; electrical, equipment and sta$' costs for traffic analysis for the 4th of July in the amount of $2,494. Ciry Manager Molendyk stated that the reason the Chamber was bIDed was because it was during their event and they had insurance to cover the incident. He further stated that Mr. T'homas has informed him that the claun was turned over to the Trucking Company's insurance and it will be handled through them. He asked that the City as well as the Chamber put pressure through correspondence on the both Insurance Companies to settle this. President Elect Thomas questioned the amount charged for Engineering Fees, since they were told that if they followed the old parade route there would be no chazge. Councilman Alongi stated that the Chamber changed the route two or three times and each time the route had to be analyzed. President Nash stated that it makes no difference how the route goes, it is determined on how the streets are blocked off. PAGE SEVEN - JOINT STITDY SESSYON - DECEMBER 5, 1996 Community Services Director Sapp explained that Traflic Analysis is done on a cost recovery program and by contract with Chuck Mackey for that purpose; and the analysis is required by the Special Events Ordinance and must be done. He noted that three different plans were submitted and three different circulaYion plans had to be done. He explained the different issues that Mr. Mackey had to address to meet the requ'vements of the Special Events Ordinance. President Nash stated that he did not remember the City telling them that it would be necessary to do any[hing special other than follow the old pazade traffic route. President Elect Thomas stated that he questions the cost of engineering time chazged to add a few more barricades for three streets. He explained that they did not expect to be charged any engineering fees since they stayed with the basic parade/concert route used in the past. Councilman Alongi noted the changes that the Chamber made and explained that each time this changes the requirements for police and barricades change. This requires staff time and is requ'ued to be done by the Special Events Ordinance and the City does operate on a cost recovery program which is in the Municipal Code. Mayor Pape questioned the bill owed to the City for the Rodeo banners. Community Services D'uectot Sapp stated that an agreement was made with the former Executive Director to split the cost of hanging the banners which is in the amount of $927.50 each time. He further noted that the Chamber has not met this bill to date. Councilman Alongi requested clarification of the intent of the Chamber in regazd to the Grand Prix. The representative of the Chamber stated that they still question the cost of the Traffic Engineer, but they will take this to the Boazd of Directors for approval of payment. There was general discussion in regard to the cost for the Traffic Engineer and his hourly wage. Councilman Alongi asked that Mr. Mackey do a cost breakdown. City Manager Molendyk explained that people don't see the hours that go into these different events and the amount of work required. Councilwoman Kelley clariSed that the Chamber representatives will take the bill for the Traffic Engineer back to the Board. They stated that they would and explained the Chamber's wiliingness to pay. President Elect Thomas explained that for the'u events next yeaz they will consult with the City's staff and get a firm dollar amount to put in their budget. City Manager Molendyk explained how the fee on the banner was structured and the Chamber's role in the banners. 9. Business Licenses - Chamber to Assist. Councilman Alongi stated that he had a problem with this proposal due to the bookkeeping involved and the exchange of money. Second Vice President Fruin stated that she had planned to do reseazch and contact the City of Temecula and see how they do it and possibly bring some ideas back to be discussed. It was the consensus of both boazds to have Second Vi ce President Fruin investigate this issue. PAGE NINE - JOINT STUDY SESSION - DECEMBER 5, 1996 10. Citv/Chamber Info/Relocation Yackets - Chamber to Distribute. President Elect Thomas explained that they currently give out relocation packets and through discussions with Special Projects Manager Best he found that there was duplication. He suggested that the Chamber combine information from the Chamber and City and allow them to give out the information. President Elect Thomas further suggested a telephone interface between the City and the Chamber of Commerce. He explained that this would allow both entities to transfer calls and allow better communication for the pubGc. 11. Rodeo- Chamber Decision. President Nash stated that the Rodeo has been held in Lake Elsinore for a lot of yeazs, but in recent yeazs it has lacked attendance and the Chamber has taken a loss. He noted that the area has changed and this is not a rural area any longer and the event does not break even. President Elect Thomas explained that in today's economic times they have to be sure that the Chamber will at least break even. He noted that if the Chamber had not had to pay for the concert and fireworks for the Crrand Prix, they would have made a profit. 13. Chamber Report - Citv Council MeetinQ. President Elect Thomas suggested that the Chamber give a report once a month at a Council Meeting to update the public and Council in regazd to Chamber activities. Second Vice President Fruin stated that it should be set for a meeting each month to guarantee the report and make it possible for the Clerk's Office and the Chamber to plan ahead. Mayor Pape asked if the Chamber would like to do this at the first or second meeting of the month. It was agreed that the first meeting would be best for a five minute presentation. 14. Chamber Liaison and New MeetinQ Times. City Manager Molendyk explained the appointment of the Chamber Liaison and asked for an altemate. Councilman Metze stated that he has been the liaison to the Chamber for the last yeaz and has enjoyed the experience. He noted tt~e different meetings that he attends and made special note of the Student of the Month Program Yhat the Chamber sponsors. Councilwoman Kelley offered to be the altemate to the Chamber. I5. New Chamber Board and Executive Committee. President Elect Thomas explained that he is in the process of pickin~ the Execu~ive Bo3rd and Executive Committee. He noted that they are, with the exception of a few, the sarne persons that have served on the Boazd and Comrnittee. 16. Citv/Chamber Telephone Interface for Transferrin¢ Calls. Mayor Pape noted that this has already been discussed. PAGE T'EN - JOINT STUDY SESSION - DECEMBER 5, 1996 Mayor Pape opened the Meeting fo~ general questions and comments. City Manager Molendyk addressed the comments in the newspapers regazding the reissuing of the bonds, but he felt that attention should be given to the fact that , Proposition 218 did pass and Council has decided to do no lay-offs at this time. He I, explained that through operational cuts and utilizing some of the reserves, the budget will . carry until June. He noted at that time the community will have the opportuniTy to vote on the service level they would Gke to have and this issue will go to the June 3, ballot. He noted that some of the issues will be pazk maintenance, recreation, and opening and staffing of a fire station on the west end of town. City Manager Molendyk explained that short falls may occur and they will need the support of the Chamber to present a proper image of the City. He explained that with the Chamber's help the right information can get to the public and businesses. Councilman Metze stated that he felt that having the Chamber doing a report at the beginning of a Ciry Council Meeting will be a positive thing and present a good source of information. City Manager Molendyk noted the problems with the interpretation of the information that the newspapers repoR. Second Vice President Fruin stated one of next years goais is that they should meet with the press and get an open channel of communication going. President Elect Thomas stated that negative press impacts the perception of where you live, and directly affects property values. ADJOURNMENT The Joint Study Session was adjoumed at 4:55 p.

Quantum Entertainment Groun Inc. - Chanee in Organization/Request to Reassieai Lease. (F:134.7)(X:134.10) Chairwoman Brinley requested more information on this item. Executive I~irector Molendyk explained this restructuring process and the requirements within the Agreement. He noted executive session direction to staff to tallc with the team representatives to bring the contract into compliance with items such as business license and money due the City. He explained that the City has not received $43,000, based on the formula in the contract, however there is nothing to substantiate whether it should be $43,000 or $63,000. Mr. Haughian expressed the intent of the team to comply with the contract, and have acquired the business license for $750. He requested Council consideration of the final payment for the last season in February, 1997, as they feel this change is a benefit of combining the assets to the benefit of the City. Chauwoman Brinley noted issues to be discussed openly, and addressed the news article regarding the $10 million deal with Mr. Goober and reminded Mr. Haughian of the $22 million City Investment in the facility. She indicated' PAGE THREE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY - DECEMBER 19, 1996 that before transfers or name changes, the Storm needs to comply with the current contract. She noted that there was a similar problem with compliance last year. She expressed concern that the payment schedule problem seems to be a continuing one. She indicated that if there is to be a corporate change, it is important that the City is covered and stressed that staff is not comfortable with the figures and noted that the first year's audit, was not fully complied with. She indicated that she would like to see the profit and loss statement as provided for Mr. Goober, and stressed her concem for assuring that the conect figures are going out of the old relationship. She suggested that until the auditors are sarisfied with the numbers, she would be concerned with the transfer with the lack of fuil compliance with the contract. Boardmember Kelley questioned the ownership with Stickney retaining 51% while the paper said equal partners. Mr. Haughian clarified that initially Mr. Sticlaiey is the majority owner but the option is open for equal parknership; but for now ownership and management will remain the same. Mrs. Kelley questioned the additional parties coming on Board. Ownership and management will remain the same. Mrs. Kelley questioned whether additional people coming on board. Mr. Haughian confii7ned, but stressed that this would not effect the Storm operations. Mrs. Kelley questioned the potenrial for more entertaimnent events. Mr. Haughian indicated that this would be the best possible arrangement for the Diamond, ball club and the City, and stressed that the new participants will bring a lot to the City for ~ potential advertising, sponsorship and live entertainment laiow how. Boardmember Pape requested a definition of "entertainment background". Mr. Haughian advised that one wing of their organization deals with live entertainment, and advised that this will be a big plus for the ball club. He clarified that they aze trying to do everytlung by the end of the year for a number of reasons, and they are willing to do what ever is necessary to get the approval. He suggested that it is a reasonable request for contract compliance, but requested a Febnzary date for payment of the outstanding debt. He further indicated that the numbers are quite accurate and he has a different recollection of the initial audit; he stressed that the numbers have been and will be entirely accurate, and if the City would like to audit again, they would be open to it. He expressed hopes of no delays with the audit. Chairwoman Brinley inquired who retains the first rights of refusal to the team. Mr. Haughian indicated that right rests with the elcisting parknership. Chairwoman Brinley questioned the potential for new ownership of the team if Mr. Stickney were to sell. Mr. Haughian indicated that was legally possible, but Ken Stickney has no intention of doing so. Mrs. Brinley noted prior conversations with regard to sale of the team, and stressed the need to laiow who they are dealing with in the future. She further stressed the need for additional information requested on a more timely basis, and the need for more open commtuucation. Vice Chairman Metze noted every time the City wants money it has to hold something over the team's head, and questioned why this is always the PAGE FOUR - ItEDEVELOPMENT AGENCY - DECEMBER 19, 1996 situation. Chairwoman Brinley indicated that she felt it was an obligation of the General Manager to keep the team within its obligations. Mr. Haughian noted that they have been late with the 1995 and 1996 payments, basically proving that it may not be as lucrative a business as believed. He noted that he welcomes the involvement of Deloitte and Touche, and is looking fonvard to working with them. He suggested that while there is a partnership with the City, there has been a strained relationship between the City and the ball club. He noted that the City requested the renegotiation of the lease, and suggested if lus organization was interested in taking advantage of the City or not being good neighbors, they would have noted the e~cisting lease. He indicated that the Ball Club has been a good neighbor as demonstrated by theu willingness to negotiate. He expressed concern that it seems to be a push and shove relationship, and stressed that business decisions should be made apart from personalities. He further stressed that this request is for a legal parinership transfer, and suggested immediate action. Boardmember Pape questioned the majority position of Mr. Stickney after this is completed. Mr. Haughian indicated that he is not a party to those discussions. Mr. Pape indicated that he wouid not have a problem with approving this transfer, contingent upon the fulfiilment of the contract requirements. He stressed that this is strictly a matter of business and the only requirement is compliance with the contract. Legal Counsel Harper questioned if this would require payment of the $43,000 prior to the 1 st of the month. Boazdmember Pape questioned whether that was an accurate number. Administrative Services Director Boone indicated that he would need to review the books. Mr. Haughian indicated that this is the correct revenue figure through October 15th. Chairwoman Brinley inquired whether the City would be privy to the same informarion given to Mr. Goober. Mr. Haughian indicated that they are willing to provide eveiyt.huig allowable under the terms of the lease. Mrs. Brinley indicated that she would like staff to review this. Legal Counsel Harper clarified that it would be a revenue statement. Boardmember Pape noted the eazlier equal partner comment and its accuracy. Mr. Haughian indicated that is the ultimate intent. Vice Chairman Metze noted that the negotiators have this information in mind. Chairwoman Brinley stressed the need to take a more in depth look at the change. Mr. Metze noted that proving the information is a problem, as they are based on audit numbers with no requirement to show tax rehuns. Boardmember Alongi noted a letter received from the auditors; and indicated that he could care less who owns the team, but the letter says the audit is only as good as the information released and some information was not released. He stressed the need to keep this on the up and up with each other and provide all necessary documents. He stressed that his bottom line concem is that the City gets what they are ent~tled to. Mr. Metze indicated that there is a reasonable basis to deny this request. Mr. Haughian reiterated his request for a February date with the related late fees and a complete audit to the satisfaction of the audit team. Mrs. Brinley suggested a letter from Thomas, Bigbie and Smith to address the areas not sufficiently answered. Mr. Alongi PAGE FIVE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY - DECEMBER 19, 1996 stressed the need to know what documents the auditor is referring to, as he is not sure what is missing. Mrs. Brinley indicated that if a11 conditions are met then she could approve the transfer as requested on or before February 1 st. Mr. Pape questioned the willingness of the new participants to merge with the outstanding debts. Mr. Haughian reiterated that he is very hopeful with the involvement of Deloitte and Touche, and welcomed an audit to put the difficult relationship to an end. He indicated that he believes the ball club has demonstrated its integrity and spirit of cooperation and wants to make it work as much as the City does. He further indicated that it is somewhat distressing when the City is telling them that theu numbers are not husted. Boardmember Alongi indicated that it is not a question of hust, but a question of good business and whether the City is receiving their portion of the revenues. F3e stressed that there is an existing letter from the auditors requiruig additional documentation, to assure that the City is getting the revenues it is entitled ta Chairwoman Brinley indicated that the Board is acting professionally to address business and stressed the inveshnent by the City. Mr. Haughian suggested that the team was being held responsible for the cost of the Stadium. The Boardmembers clarified that they are holding the team responsible for the existing contract obligations. Executive Director Molendyk noted the discussions with Deloitte and Touche and indicated that the answers will come out, but publicly he has not heard that people don't feel the Storm is an asset to the Community, but stressed the need to get the business to the site. He indicated that there is no intent to pick on the team, as the interest is in compliance with payxnents on time. Vice Chairman Metze noted that they wanted to renegotiate the lease too, and questioned where else they will be able to play in a$22 million Stadium, such as the one provided for the Storm. He indicated that they would not find another community within 50 miles. Mr. Haughian suggested that public monies might not be necessary to do so. Mr. Molendyk stressed that this discussion is what the Council wants to do with the corporate change, but the payment is due. Boardmember Alongi stressed that this nothing to do personal, but the team needs to comply with the contract first. Boardmember Pape indicated that he would like to meet the new partner. Chairwoman Brinley indicated that this is nothing but compliance with a business contract, and nothing less than the Storm would expect from others. MOVED BY METZE, SECONDED BY ALONGI TO DENY THE REQUESTED ORGANIZATION CI-IANGE. MOTION FAILIED TO CARRY BY A VOTE TO 2 TO 3 WITH BRINLEY, KELLEY~ ANA PAPE CASTING THE DISSENTING VOTE. Boardmember Pape indicated that he would rather approve the request contingent upon bringing the contract into compliance; so if they want to PAGE SIX - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY - DECEMBER 19, 1996 complete the merger they have the ability to proceed. MOVED BY PAPE, SECONDED BY KELLEY TO APPROVE THE REQUESTED ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE AND REASSIGN THE EXISTING L~ASE TO MANDALAY SPORTS ENTERPRISES, LLC, CONTINGENT UPON GETTING ALL NECESSARY MONEY AND DOCUMENTS AS REQUIRED BY TAE CONTRACT FO1Z COMPLIANCE. Boardmember Alongi suggested that this be tied to a time line. Legal Counsel Harper clarified that an audit will take several months to complete. After further Council discussion, Boardmember Pape suggested with the right documents in place they could proceed. Boardmember Alongi questioned whether this motion included the documents to be supplied as needed by the auditors, and the payment of the $43,000 plus penalties.
