Chris Hyland, 15191 Wavecrest Drive, expressed her opinion that the racetrack
was a project of and by the City of Lake Elsinore. She suggested that it was a
sham and suggested that it was not going through the normal approval process.
She indicated that she was obtaining signatures in opposition to the project. She
noted information being provided by those in support of the project. She indicated
that City staff doesn't care about noise, etc, because they live in San Diego; and
the few who live in the City only care about a paycheck. She reiterated that she
was collecting signatures.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR COMMENTS
Executive Director Watenpaugh clarified that the Alberhill Project was a property
owner/proponent project, not a City project. He stressed that it was not a"done
deal", as it had not received consideration by the Council. He addressed design
features of the facility mentioned by Mrs. Hyland, and clarified his understanding
of the project. He noted that staff costs were being paid via the cost recovery
program, by the proponent.
Boardmember Metze indicated that the Alberhill Project was not in the
Redevelopment Agency area and not proper for discussion at this meeting.

AgendaReview. (F:44.1~
Consent Calendar
Councilwoman Kelley questioned the status of the Prince Dortch
Claim. City Manager Watenpaugh stated that the District Attorney
had filed on the Father.
Councilwoman Kelley questioned the status of the Tran Claim. City
Attorney Leibold stated that the Claim had been processed through the
Claims Administrator and had been assigned to Ed Richards. She
noted that he was the attorney that handled the LERA case.
Mayor Schiffner asked for clarification regarding the Blaskovich
Claim. City Manager Watenpaugh explained that Mr. Blaskovich was
filing for illegally impounding a vehicle that had been inoperable for
over a year, as well as a complaint of illegal collection of child
support by the County. He noted that he was not sure if Mr.
Blaskovich was suggesting that he had been singled out.
City Manager Watenpaugh presented an overview of Item No. 4,
regarding the South County Workforce Investment Act - License
Agreement for Use of the old Library Building. He noted that the
building was in very good shape and there were only two items that
required attention; one was the replacement of a door; and the other
was the
PAGE TWO - STUDY SESSION - JANUARY 23, 2001
replacement of lights. Councilwoman Kelley asked about the expense
of play equipment for the Tiny Tots playground. City Manager
Watenpaugh stated that the County would be donating $2,000 toward
the equipment and the City would fund the remainder. He explained
that the County would pay for the electricity and the City would cover
the cost of the water and trash. Councilwoman Kelley questioned the
status of the air-conditioning system. City Manager Watenpaugh
indicated that when the Sheriff's Department occupied the building
the air-conditioner was repaired and was in functioning order. He
further indicated that the other concern he had was the proposed two
(2) year lease with a two (2) year option. Mayor Schiffner asked if
the City had any other uses for the building. City Manager
Watenpaugh stated that there were other uses considered, however
there was no funding to cover additional staf£ Mayar Schiffner
commented that he felt it was a good proposal.
Mayor Schiffner addressed Item No. 6, regarding the Resolution of
Intention to Vacate a Portion of Old Collier Road and Sanford Road,
and asked if the location was ne~ to the outflow channel. City
Manager Watenpaugh stated that was the location of the Brine Line
and the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority was proposing to
construct a pressure sustaining station at that location. He noted that
at the time the City widens the roadway, SAWPA would dedicate
back the amount of land necessary for the project.
Councilwoman Kelley noted that Gunnerson Pond was full of water
and looked wonderful. Community Development Director Brady
noted that the pond was filled accidentally and was not supposed to be
quite so full. He noted that it was due to a water line break.
City Manager Watenpaugh made note of a clerical error in the staff
report, which stated that it was the Temecula Valley Regional
Interceptor and it should have read Temescal Valley Regional
Interceptor.
Business Items
Councilwoman Kelley addressed Item No. 31, regarding the League
of California Cities Grassroots Coordinator Network Program. Mayor
Schiffner stated that it was thoroughly discussed at the last League of
California Cities Policy Committee Meeting. City Manager
Watenpaugh stated that the intent was to point out how ineffective the
League had been in terms of legislation and dealing with issues at the
State level and the reason was the lack of funds. He noted that the
League suggested that cities pay an additional fee based on population
to hire 13 extra people to provide regional representation in local
areas to deal with issues such as Vehicle License Fees.
PAGE THREE - STUDY SESSION - JANUARY 23, 2001
Councilwoman Kelley asked how this action would give the City a
bigger voice in Sacramento. City Manager Watenpaugh explained
that it would help the cities organize locally to gain the backing and
support on a Statewide basis, which is the same way other
organizations handle the issues. He stated that there were only two
issues that the City Managers had at the League; the first was to have
more focus in terms of responsibility to organize regionally and
Statewide, issues such as Vehicle License Fee, energy, housing, etc.,
emphasizing to elected officials that this would not be their local
lobbyist. Councilwoman Kelley asked how this would work with
WRCOG. City Manager Watenpaugh stated that WRCOG only deals
with what each city pays them to deal with. He noted that WRCOG
represents the County and the City and doesn't represent just cities.
Mayor Schiffner stated that he felt that this would be a good move
forward, and if it doesn't work, then there would be no purpose for the
League. He noted that it would be approximately a 50% increase in
fees, over what the City pays currently. City Manager Watenpaugh
stated that it would be a little less since the amount would be $3,500.
Mayor Schiffner stated that in order for this action to take place it
would take a 2/3rds vote of all the cities in the League. City Manager
Watenpaugh stated that it had not been decided if there would be a
mail-out vote or if the vote would be taken at the League Conference.
He indicated that if the program were in place for the next 5 years,
and it cost the City $3,500 a year, and the only thing that came from
__ the program was legislation to preserve the Vehicle License Fees,
which is $1.4 million, it would be worth it. Mayor Schiffner noted
that the League felt that they had not been effective, and this would be
a major step toward making it effective. He indicated that he felt that
it would be worth a try.
Councilwoman Kelley addressed Item No. 32, regarding the Riverside
County Hydro-Pump Storage Power Line Committee, and questioned
how the appointment would be made. There was general discussion
in regard to the procedure that would be used to make the
appointments to the Committee. City Attorney Leibold explained that
if each member of the Council made a nomination the selection could
be made from those nominations. City Manager Watenpaugh asked if
there was a need for a second to the nomination. City Attorney
Leibold stated that it would be up to the Mayor. City Manager
Watenpaugh noted that the committee would be made up of 15
members from the County and two from the City. He suggested that
the two people selected should be from the City to give fair
representation. City Attorney Leibold explained the procedure to
handle a tie vote should three candidates be selected. Mayor Schiffner
stated that he would explain the procedure for selection priar to
opening for nominations.

DISCUSSION ITEM
A~enda Review.(F:44.1)
City Manager Watenpaugh noted that the water was not over the dam
in Canyon Lake, however it was getting closer all the time.
Mayor Pro Tem Brinley questioned Item No. 5 regarding Railroad
Canyon Road Rehabilitation Notice of Completion - R.J. Noble
Company. City Manager Watenpaugh explained that this was for the
completion of the paving portion of the Rehabilitation and not the
landscaping. Mayor Pro Tem Brinley questioned the status of the
Medians. City Manager Watenpaugh noted that the status of the
medians was not tied to this project and he would be giving an update
during City Manager Comments.
Councilwoman Kelley questioned Item No. 3 regarding a Claim
against the City. City Attorney Leibold stated that she had clarified
the claim with the Claims Administrator and it would proceed through
the proper channels.
Councilwoman Kelley questioned Item No. 4 regarding the
Declaration of Weeds, Rubbish, Refuse and Dirt as a Nuisance. She
asked if Mr. Nelson's problem had been addressed. Community
Development Director Brady stated that they were working with Mr.
Nelson and it appeared that he had been billed by mistake. He gave
PAGE TWO - STUDY SESSION - FEBRUARY 27, 2001
an overview of the procedure and stated that occasionally a property
was billed in error since they had already cleared the lot, or it was
vacant land with the incorrect parcel noted. He explained that when it
was brought to the attention of staff, an investigation was made and a
refund would be issued.
Mayor Schiffner addressed Item No. 33 regarding the appointment of
one additional representative to the Riverside County Hydroelectric
Pumped Storage Committee. He indicated that he would make the
selection and ask Council for ratification.
City Manager Watenpaugh clarified issues regarding Item No. 21
regarding Elsinore City Center Specific Plan (SP No. 91-1)
Amendment No. 1. He indicated that one of the major concems of the
Planning Commission and the applicant was that property taxes were
supposed to pay for parks and infrastructure within the City. He
commented on the impact of Proposition 218 and the effect it had on
the City. He suggested that it might be a good time to remind the
public that the City only receives 1% of the property tax for
maintenance and operation of the City. He indicated that of the
$1,500 paid in taxes, only $150 comes to the City. He e~cplained that
the cost for Police Services, Fire Services, street maintenance, park
maintenance and drainage costs approximately $700 per year per
residence. He indicated that for the first time property tax broke $1
million, however the Police budget was $3.6 million and the Fire
budget will be $1.2 million with the new fire station. He presented an
overview of the revenue of the City and noted that the property tax
was only a small portion of the revenue received by the City with
sales tax generating the largest revenue. He noted that the fee for
apartments would be $175 per unit even though they require more
public safety response than a single-family resident. Mayor Pro Tem
Brinley clarified the amount far a single-family residence. City
Manager Watenpaugh indicated that a single-family residence was
$350. Councilwoman Kelley asked why the Planning Commission
removed the fee. City Manager Watenpaugh stated the applicant felt
that since the fee was not in place, it would be too great a burden.
Mayor Pro Tem Brinley asked if there had been recent discussion with
the applicant. City Manager Watenpaugh advised that there had not.
Mayor Pro Tem Brinley stated that it should be explained that the fees
provide public services necessary to the project. She indicated that
she would make a motion at the meeting to incorparate the fee in -
Condition No. 42. She asked City Attorney Leibold to provide the
proper verbiage for the condition.
Mayor Schiffner indicated that comments have been made that taxes
should cover services, however it should be made clear that if parks
were what people want then there would have to be other services that
have to be eliminated. He stated that fees on new development is one
of the ways the City defers the costs.
PAGE THREE - STUDY SESSION - FEBRUARY 27, 2001
Mayor Pro Tem Brinley stated that the City would be remiss if it did
not collect for public safety.
Mayor Schiffner stated that the City could not afford to let additional
homes come into the area without helping to pay for costs. If the
- developer does not accept the fees, then they don't move forward.
City Manager Watenpaugh noted that this was a quality of life issue
and in other cities they have gone to the voters. He indicated that staff
would be asking Council to go to the voters to address an assessment
for quality of life.
Councilwoman Kelley asked if the fee study was moving forward.
City Manager Watenpaugh stated that staff was moving forward with
the study and several of the developers had participated.
Mayor Pro Tem Brinley questioned the bonding for landscaping. She
asked why the 120% was dropped to 100%. Community
Development Director Brady stated that 100% was adequate.
Councilwoman Kelley questioned the Caltrans Options regarding
traffic mitigation. She stated that the maj or issue with the whole
development was the traffic and indicated that if there were no
solution, then she would find it hard to see the development moving
forward.
City Manager Watenpaugh reminded Council that the area was
approved for commercial and that would generate three times the
traffic the apartments and condos would.
City Manager Watenpaugh presented the options that Caltrans was
offering and the related costs. He indicated that staff would be putting
a package together for Congressman Calvert for grant funds to
accomplish the improvements.
Mayor Schiffner asked what percentage the opening of Franklin
would relieve. He stated that it was his understanding that the
proposed development would be less of a strain than commercial and
the opening of Franklin would be of added benefit.
City Manager Watenpaugh noted the opening of Audie Murphy
Ranch development and the impact that would have on the
intersection as well.
There was general discussion xegarding the Regional TUMF fee and a
local TUMF fee. There was general discussion regarding an overpass
located at Malaga to Grape. City Manager Watenpaugh noted that no
one project would solve the problem in the immediate future since it
would take at least two years to start any project.
PAGE FOUR - STUDY SESSION - FEBRUARY 27, 2001
Councilwoman Kelley asked when Franklin Street would come on
line. City Manager Watenpaugh stated that it would be open by the
end of October or November. A member of the audience asked if the
roads near the old rodeo grounds were going to be improved. City
Manager Watenpaugh stated that Council would be addressing that
issue at the Budget Study Session. ~
Councilwoman Kelley questioned the 700 square feet for a one
bedroom apartment. Community Development Director Brady stated
that 700 square feet for a single bedroom apartment was average.
Mayor Schiffner asked about Low Income Apartments and how it
works. City Attorney Leibold noted that Condition No. 41 requires
that, prior to issuance of Building Permits, the developer must enter
into an Agreement with the Redevelopment Agency. She noted that
staff had been working with the developer and they may elect to
include within the proj ect the affordable units or to pay an in-lieu fee
that would be deposited into the Agency's Low to Moderate Income
Housing Findings to be used in other areas to satisfy those
requirements.
Councilwoman Kelley questioned the vacancy factor was for the area.
Community Development Director Brady stated that it was low. City
Manager Watenpaugh noted that apartments were in short supply
along the I-15 Corridor.
Mayor Pro Tem Brinley questioned the landscaping of slopes on the
back of the project. She noted that the landscaping in front of
Walmart was great, however the back slopes needed to be addressed.
Mayor Schiffner stated that the landscaping of Walmart did not ha~e
anything to do with this project. Mayor Pro Tem Brinley as ed staff
to address this issue with Oak Grove Equities.
Mayor Pro Tem Brinley questioned the design of the project.
Community Development Director Brady presented a rendering of the
project. _
.. :~ . ~
Councilwoman Kelley asked what management firm would be used.
Community Development Director Brady stated that he did not know,
however Oak Grove Equities was going to retain ownership of the
proj ect.
Mayor Pro Tem Brinley asked if this project would participate in the
Crime Free Multi-Housing Program; and suggested that a condition be
included to require the developer to participate in the Crime Free
Multi-Housing Program and include it as 44a. She asked about
private security and asked if that could be a condition as well.
Community Development Director Brady and City Attorney Leibold
PAGE FIVE - STUDY SESSION - FEBRUARY 27, 2001
stated that they would examine the issue and get back to her with the
finding. Mayor Pro Tem Brinley stated that private security does
reduce problems and reduces crime and she would like to see if that
could be addressed.
- Mayor Schiffner asked if there would be any problem with adding a
fee into the conditions. City Attorney Leibold stated that the Council
had the right to condition the project as needed.
City Manager Watenpaugh noted that there would be one closed
session.

CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Schiffner called the Special Joint City Council/Redevelopment
Agency Meeting to order at 4:10 p.m.
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
City Attorney Leibold led the Pledge of Allegiance.
ROLL CALL
PRESENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: BRINLEY, KELLEY,

ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: METZE, PAPE
(Councilmembers
Metze and Pape arrived
at 4:35 p.m.)
Also Present were: City Manager Watenpaugh, Assistant City Manager
Best, City Attorney Leibold, Community Development Director Brady,
Information/Communications Manager Dennis and Deputy City Clerk
Bryning.
City Attorney Leibold indicated that this was designated a Special
Joint City Council/Redevelopment Agency Meeting to allow City
Council the opportunity make a review of the Closed Session Items,
however the Discussion for Agenda Review would be the first item
for discussion.
JOINT DISCUSSION ITEM
Agenda Review. (F:44.1)
Councilwoman Kelley addressed Item No. 22 which addressed the
Appeal of a Denial of Conditional Use Permit No. 2001-07. She
asked for the City Attorney's input on an article that appeared in the
Newspaper this morning.
City Attorney I,eibold indicated that she had not had an opportunity to
read the article, however there was a law signed which is effective at
this time. She indicated that she agreed in part and disagreed in part
with the letter sent to City Council and the Redevelopment Agency.
PAGE ~'WO - MINUTES - MARCH 13, 2001
She further indicated that the City Council had the authority, in
keeping with the parameters of the Federal Law that was passed, to
reasonably regulate land use. She explained that this included
churches being required to obtain a Conditional Use Permit and
allowance to evaluate the merits of the uses, given the circumstances
and the neighboring uses. She further explained that the City was
legally permitted, if the facts were such that Council wished to deny
the appeal, Council was not bound to grant the Conditional Use
Permit to the Church.
Mayor Schiffner requested clarification that if the Council decided to
deny the appeal, they would have the right to do sa
City Attorney Leibold confirmed, but she reminded the Council that
the Church had threatened litigation. She stated that there was a
Constitutional tightrope that must be walked with these issues. She
explained that the law that was passed most recently did not eliminate
the Constitutional prohibition against entanglement. She further
explained that it did not require that the City grant a Church the right
to locate in a specific location. She noted that the consequence would
be that the City would be giving special treatment to a church, that it
would not give to any other use. She indicated that the City had local
police powers, including land use regulation which was granted to
Council by the Constitution and establishment clause considerations
that prohibit entanglement or the special treatment of churches. She
further e~lained that the Federal Statute that says that Council could
not impose substantial burden on the free exercise of religions is an
effort to protect the First Amendment, however the Federal Statute
goes on to say that if Council were to impose substantial burdens, the
only circumstances could be if there were a compelling interest.
Councilwoman Kelley asked if the fees paid by the church would be
considered substantial burden if it was the same amount that everyone
else was required to pay. City Attorney Leibold confirmed.
Councilwoman Kelley questioned the statement "the loss of tax
revenue does not raise to the level of compelling government interest"
and asked if it was accurate. City Attorney Leibold stated that the
statement was correct. She stated that there was a two step process as
follows: 1) Has the City acted in such a way that imposes a substantial
burden on the exercise of religious freedom; 2) If the answer were
yes, then the question asked would be if the City had a compelling
governmental interest to do so. She explained that if the City were
imposing substantial burdens, then the fact that the City might loose
tax revenues would not raise to the level of compelling interest,
however the Council would not address this issue, since they were not
imposing substantial burdens on exercise of religion.
Mayor Schiffner noted that in the letter from the attorney representing
the church they indicated that this issue would be a question all over
the Country and they would be in the forefront. He stated that he had
PAGE THREE - MINUTES - MARCH 13, 2001
the feeling from that statement that they would file a lawsuit. He
asked if they file a lawsuit and loose, would they have to pay attorney
fees. City Attorney Leibold stated that would ha~e to be addressed in
Closed Session.
Councilwoman Kelley questioned the landscaping requirements.
Community Development Director Brady stated that when the church
submitted their plans it was submitted with 21 %, however the
requirement for the Downtown Overlay District is 15%.
City Attorney Leibold reiterated that the City has police powers that
authorize the Council to engage in land use regulation, as it is an
essential part of government.
Mayar Schiffner stated that there was a'reasonable assumption that
should the Council deny the appeal they would take steps to litigate,
however that was not a good reason for making a decision.
Councilwoman Kelley concurred and stated that it was very
disheartening that the threat of litigation would be made before
Council even has the opportunity to present their views and opinions,
to receive public input or even take a vote. She further stated that she
found it very disturbing to open the paper and read that if the Council
did not approve the CUP, then the City would be sued. She
questioned the tactics. She criticized the letter received suggesting
that second-guessed Council's decisions.
Mayor Schiffner stated that he had received a call from Pastor
Hildabrant requesting that some of his people have more than three
minutes to speak. He indicated that he would allow two people from
each side to speak more than three minutes, however the rest would be
allowed only three minutes. Mayor Pro Tem Brinley commented that
she felt that all of the speakers should be allowed no more than three
minutes since it would be a very emotional issue and everyone would
wish to speak. Councilwoman Kelley noted the amount of potential
duplicate comments. Mayor Schiffner stated that he was going to
request that the other people get up and state if they were for or
against the appeal.
Mayor Pro Tem Brinley questioned the sales tax and employment
issues. Assistant City Manager Best stated that sales tax is not public
information, however she stated that she felt it was not a significant
amount. She noted that there were jobs available in the community
for skilled, mid-skilled, and unskilled labor, therefor employment
would not be a factor. Mayor Pro Tem Brinley noted that in
1989/1990 the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Lake Elsinore
spent over two million dollars renovating the Downtown area to make
it more appealing for businesses. She felt that to allow other than
commercial uses would be counterproductive to the goals and
objectives that sparked the revitalization and resulted in the Historic
PAGE FOUdt - MINUTES - MARCH 13, 2001
Downtown Overlay District.
Mayor Schiffner stated that he felt that it would be best to stay away
from the financial aspects of this item.
City Manager Watenpaugh stated that staff would like Council to
review the findings in the Staff's recommendations.
City Attorney Leibold stated that the letter received from 'Y'yler, I~orsa
& Eldridge, focused on the compelling governmental interest, which
assumed that the City had imposed a substantial burden, however her
analysis was in evaluating the appropriateness and the typicaU
reasonable land use considerations that go into granting, rejecting or
denying a Conditional Use Permit. She expiained that the City was
not imposing substantial burdens on religion. She further explained
that the Council would not get to the compelling governmental
interest unless imposing substantial burdens.
Councilwoman Kelley stated that she was concerned about legalities
and could not reiterate enough how unnerving it was to be threatened
with "If you don't approve this item, we will sue you".
Mayor Schiffner stated that at this point Council could not say if they
were going to approve the item or not, since they had not heard all of
the testimony and information. Councilwoman Kelley concurred.
City Manager Watenpaugh addressed Item No. 32 regarding the
Homeless Shelter and reminded Council that Supervisor Buster would
be giving a presentation regarding this issue.
Redevelopment Agency Chairwoman Kelley asked if there were questions
on the RDA Agenda.
'I'here were no requests to address items on the Agenda.
Chris I~yland, fl5191 Wavecrest Drive, noted that she had received several
phone calls from Senior Citizens who told her that they would have no place
to shop if the market were forced out of business. She stated that the seniors
that talked to her stressed that they had no form of transportation and that the
market was within wallting distance of their homes and asked if this would
have any bearing on the decision the Council would make. City Attorney
3,eibold stated that it would have some bearing on the relevance regarding
land use. Councilwoman Brinley stated that she had also received calls and
noted the service rendered to the City through recycling.

DISCUSSION ITEM
Agenda Review.
City Manager Watenpaugh addressed Item C, regarding an update
presentation on Lake Elsinore Water Issues. He explained that
Information/ Communications Manager Dennis and Community
Services Director Sapp would provide a power point presentation. He
indicated that this would be for information only and was not intended
for discussion. He noted that at the end of the presentation it would
be announced that the City would be forming workshops and public
meetings to address the issue and allow the community to ask
questions and state their concerns.
Councilwoman Kelley noted that Information/Communications
Manager Dennis would be doing the same presentation for Vision and
Views; and that they would be filming at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow.
Councilwoman Kelley addressed Item B, regarding the donation of a
painting by Jon Serl . She asked if there was any form that Mr. Billy
should fill out. City Manager Watenpaugh stated that the donation
had to be done at a public meeting to indicate that it was being
donated to the City and the Council would accept the painting on
behalf of the City. Councilwoman Kelley noted that she had promised
Mr. Billy that Mr. Serl's painting would be framed and a plaque
mounted on the frame with special verbiage. City Manager
Watenpaugh stated that Council could direct staff to do so.
PAGE TWO - STUDY SESSION - MARCH 27, 2001
Councilwoman Kelley noted that March was National Youth Art
Month and she had a second grade class e~ibit of watercolors
regarding the activities that could be enjoyed in Lake Elsinore. She
asked if she could place the exhibit in front of dais for display. City
Manager Watenpaugh indicated that there would be no problem with
presenting the display.
Mayor Schiffner asked if Chief Walsh would be present to recognize
Jacob Wilkins. City Manager Watenpaugh stated that Chief Walsh
was at a seminar, however Lieutenant Horton would be present.
Mayor Schiffner stated that since the recognition was for Mr. Wilkins
donation for Cops for Kids he thought it would be appropriate to have
Lieutenant Horton stand with him during the presentation.
Mayor Schiffner asked that Councilwoman Kelley accept the donation
of the Jon Serl painting. Councilwoman Kelley agreed.
Mayor Schiffner asked that City Manager Watenpaugh introduce the
presentation on the Water Issues. He stated that at the end of the
presentation he would ask President Anderson of the EVMWD Board
to make some comments. City Manager Watenpaugh asked if all
other comments would be held to the Public Comment section.
Mayor Schiffner stated that he would ask Ms. Anderson for her
comments and announce that all other comments would be made
during the Public Comment portion of the Agenda. He noted that Ms.
Anderson would be addressing the cooperation between the City and
EVMWD, as well as the proposal to use the island wells.
Councilwoman Kelley addressed Item No. 6, regarding the
Improvements for Rehabilitation to Soccer Field Lighting at
Summerlake Park, and commented on the amount of lights that were
working versus the amount that were not. City Manager Watenpaugh
noted that 52% of the lights were out. Mayor Schiffner clarified that
the City would be replacing the bulbs with a different kind of bulb
than what was currently being used. City Manager Watenpaugh
confirmed. He explained that the current bulb is imported from
Europe and costs appro~cimately $450 each, versus $65 each far the
suggested bulbs. Mayor Schiffner asked if the new bulbs used less
energy. City Manager Watenpaugh stated that the new bulb used the
same amount of energy, however the difference in cost was a major
consideration. He noted that it would take approximately 4 to 6
weeks to have the lights up and running.
Mayar Schiffner addressed Item No. 21, regarding Amendment No. 1
to Las Laguna Estates Development Agreement - Ordinance No.
1074. City Attorney Leibold explained that there was a recital in the
proposed Amendment to the Development Agreement proposing a
Road Construction and Conveyance Agreement (Recital No. 3). She
PAGE THREE - STUDY SESSION - MARCH 27, 2001
indicated that the parties concerned have been negotiating this issue
for a long time. She further explained that staff felt all of the issues
had been resolved and she was prepared to recommend execution of
the Agreements. She noted that the property owner had raised some
last minute issues; staff had corresponded with the owner regarding
the issues; but now, staff was waiting for a phone response to
ascertain if Council could proceed with the listed document; or if the
property owner was not prepared to execute the agreement; then staff
would request a continuance to the next regular City Council Meeting.
Mayor Schiffner clarified that the issue had to do with the roadway
and pipeline to the Fire Station. City Manager Watenpaugh asked if
this should be carried to a date certain. City Attorney Leibold stated
that it should be carried to a date certain to avoid renoticing.
Councilwoman Kelley questioned the DAG fees and stated that they
were not the same as the DAG fees for Forecast Homes. City
Manager Watenpaugh reminded Council that when Rod Gunn and
Don Hunt presented the economic program regarding CFD 88-3, it
was their recommendation to reduce the DAG Fees to their original
amount. He indicated that the original amount was $1,000 and would
increased incrementally over a period of years should development
not occur. He explained that the purpose of returning to the original
DAG Fees was to encourage development to move forward and solve
some of the problems with the CFD.
Mayor Schiffner clarified that the increases were still in place should
they not develop immediately. City Manager Watenpaugh confirmed.
Councilwoman Kelley asked if the owner was considering the sale of
the development. City Manager Watenpaugh stated that the owner
indicated that he did have someone interested in developing Phase I,
which was apartment buildings and had requested that they be zero lot
line, free standing condominiums on the bluff portion.
Mayor Schiffner requested confirmation that the road access would be
taken care of. City Manager Watenpaugh confirmed.
Mayor Schiffner questioned Item No. 31, regarding the Second
Reading of Ordinance No. 1073. City Attorney Leibold explained
that at the last meeting modifications were made to a Condition of
Approval and the developer went on record with some questions and
criticisms regarding the Condition. She indicated that staff inet with
the developer this morning, and they continue to have concerns with
the condition. She stated that they were supposed to call this
afternoon to see if some resolution could be reached, however she had
not heard from them; and if they have not called to discuss their
concerns, then it was possible that staff would request Council not
approve the second reading. City Attorney Leibold explained that
should Council not
PAGE FOUR - STUDY SESSION - MARCH 27, 2001
approve a second reading, the item would ha~e to be readvertised and
reconsidered for a first reading of the same or modified conditions.
Mayor Schiffner asked what the City's official position was in regard
to this issue. City Attorney Leibold stated that there was clearly
authority to establish Community Facilities Districts for costs. She
noted that the objection of the developer related to the fact that the
CFD's were not previously established; the studies were just being
completed; the adoption of the establishment of the District was
immanent, but not yet complete; and that was the position of the
issues.
Councilwoman Kelley asked if this was similar to other cities that
charge the TUMF fees. City Attorney Leibold explained the
distinction between a Capital as opposed to Maintenance, Operation
and Service. She indicated that it was a separate issue when related to
an anticipated fee that a developer volunteers to be subject to in order
to get their entitlements processed without delay.
Mayor Schiffner stated that once the District was established, then
there would be no argument at all. City Attorney Leibold stated that
because it was a Community Facilities District the developer was
participatory in the District, only if they voted to include themselves.
She further explained that the Development Fee such as the TLTMF
fee for capital was adopted by ordinance, so long as the City met the
statutory requirements, by showing the cost of the Capital
Improvements and the benefits through a NEXUS Study. She stated
that once an ordinance was established it would be applicable City-
Wide, however a CFD was property specific and a due process was
necessary, which includes an election and property owner consent.
Mayor Schiffner clarified that if the developer voluntarily agrees with
the item, then the City could move forward. City Attorney Leibold
confirmed. Mayor Schiffner asked what would happen if the
developer did not agree. City Attorney Leibold stated that staff could
recommend that the City move forward "as is", or recommend
modifications to the condition to a~oid the dispute. Mayor Schiffner
asked if the City moved forward "as is", what position the City would
be in. City Attorney Leibold stated that at this point she would like to
wait to hear from the developer. She indicated that she would like the
opportunity to wark with the developer and satisfy his concerns. She
explained that if the second reading were not approved, then the
Council would have to return to a first reading. She stated that she
would prefer not to move forward with a condition staff knows was
contested and end up in a claim or threatened litigation, when staff
could meet with the developer and go through the study. She stated
that she would like to avoid adversity and work through the issue with
the developer since it affects the value of the project. She e~cplained
that this was not a"one time fee", but rather an ongoing fee. Mayor
Schiffner questioned the amount of the fee. City Manager
Watenpaugh gave an overview of the costs of Maintenance and
PAGE FIVE - STUDY SESSION - MARCH 27, 2001
Operation and noted that the fee was considerably less than the cost
charged to a single-family residence, although apartments have a
greater need for public safety services versus a single-family
residence.
Mayor Schiffner noted a necessary correction to the Second Reading
date and City Attorney Leibold indicated that the fifth paragraph
should read as follows:
WHEREAS, the conditions recommended by the Planning
Commission and City Council will be incorporated into
Specific Plan Amendment No. 1 to ensure that the issues
identified by the Planning Commission and City Council have
been resolved.
Mayor Schiffner addressed Item No. 32, Request for Waiver of Fees -
Lake Elsinore Valley Soccer Club. He commented on the pre'vious
information the Council received which included the entire letter of
request received by staff regarding the cost of lighting. He asked if
staff felt that the problems were resolved and were satisfied that the
request was fair.
Councilwoman Kelley noted the poor lighting that occurred at the
field during the last season. City Manager Watenpaugh stated that the
$2,300 dollars owed was for electricity used and had nothing to do
with good or bad lighting. He indicated that they used the electricity
and were liable for the cost. He noted that if the other lights were
functioning it would be closer to $5,000. He explained the difficulties
staff had experienced with the Soccer Club and stated that staff had
tried to resolve problems in the past and had no response, then the
arganization appealed to Council and it was made to appear that staff
had never responded. He expressed his fiustration. He indicated that
staff was prepared to follow Council direction.
Mayor Schiffner addressed Item No. 33, regarding the
Commencement of Proceedings to Amend the City Corporate
Boundary along Highway 74. He clarified the advantage of changing
the boundary to allow the City to have land along both side of
Highway 74. City Manger Watenpaugh clarified the placement of the
boundary and staff's recommendation.
There were no comments regarding the Redevelopment Agency
Agenda.
City Attorney Leibold indicated that all of the Closed Session items
identified would be brought forward for discussion. She noted that
Item C, regarding the Stadium would be heard by both the Agency
and the Council.
PAGE SIX - STUDY SESSION - MARCH 27, 2001
City Attorney Leibold stated that it was anticipated that there would
only be three Councilmembers in attendance at the meeting and
explained that it would take all three votes on an ordinance to pass
and not a simple majority. She stated that as Couricil goes through the
Agenda, she would need to make sure that Co~nci~,was aware of each
items need for sufficient vote to carry an action.
Chris Hyland, 15191 Wavecrest Drive, suggested that staff clarify
Item No. 31 at the time for second reading. She stated that she did not
feel reading the item by title only would provide enough clarification
to the public regard the subject matter and its purpose. She addressed
the Closed Session Anticipated Litigation and stated that other
attorneys had told her that the name or party should be included in the
description. City Attorney Leibold stated that it would depend upon
the circumstances; whether or not there would be a strategic
disadvantage to the agency; or whether or not the potential plaintiffs
know they have a claim. She e~lained that the disclosure
requirement depended on the circumstances, and clarified the Statute.

JOINT DISCUSSION ITEM
Agenda Review. (F:44.1)
Mayor Pro Tem Brinley addressed Item No. 21, regarding Zoning Code
Amendment (ZCA) No. 2001-01, an amendment to Chapter 17.11 of the
Lake Elsinore Municipal Code as it relates to the "Historic Downtown
Elsinore Overlay District" and asked for clarification. City Manager
Watenpaugh stated that the action was proposed in response to Council's
goal to expedite the process for signage and business licenses in the
Downtown area. He indicated that any major item that did not fall within
the guidelines would still have to go for Design Review. Community
Development Director Brady explained that the proposed action would not
change the Historic Overlay District or its requirements, and indicated that
what the action would do was put the Downtown area on a par with the rest
of the City regarding approval for signs and other administrative issues.
Mayor Pro Tem Brinley clarified that this action would speed the process
up. Community Development Director Brady confirmed and noted that
currently it could take up to two weeks or more for a business to gain
approval and allow them to move forward. He noted that the Amendment
would save time for the business as well as staff time. Mayor Schiffner
noted that in the event of an appeal it would go to the Planning Commission
for a hearing; and stated that basically this action would do away with the
Design Review Committee. Community Development Director Brady
agreed.
PAGE TWO - SPECIAL MEETING - APRIL 24, 2001
Mayor Pro Tem Brinley asked if the Design Review Committee was in
favor of the proposed action. Community Development Director Brady
stated that it was the Design Review Committee that made the
recommendation to Council and they were in full support.
1Vlayor Pro Tem Brinley addressed Item No. 33, regarding the Establishment
of the Time and Place of Regular City Council/Redevelopment Agency
Meetings. She stated that she was in favor of having the Closed Session
portion of the Agenda listed first. She indicated that this action would keep
Council from meeting late into the evening. Councilwoman Kelley stated
that it would prevent Council from contemplating complex issues at 11:00
p.m. when everyone was very tired.
City Attorney Leibold noted tha.t there was a reference in the Staff Report
for Item No. 33, to the "Attached Council Policy", and the e~ibit was not
included. She provided the Policy for consideration.
Councilwoman Kelley stated that she was in favor of Item No. 33, regarding
the Establishment of the Time and Place of the Regular City Council/
Redevelopment Agency Meetings.
Mayor Schiffner questioned the check to Summit Golf on the Warrant List.
City Manager Watenpaugh explained that Summit Golf was the company
doing the landscaping at Tuscany Hills.
Mayor Pro Tem Brinley questioned Item No. 34, regarding Funding One
Half Capital and Operations Cost for Island Wells. City Attorney Leibold
indicated that her partner Deputy City Attorney Van Blarcom, responded to
water related issues, and would be attending the Council Meeting and would
be available for questions. Mayor Pro Tem Brinley stated that she would
hold her questions until Mr. Van Blarcom was present. Mayor Schiffner
stated that he had some questions regarding the item, however he would
wait until the public meeting to address them.
Mayor Schiffner addressed Item No. 33, regarding the Establishment of the
Time and Place of Regular City Council/Redevelopment Agency Meetings
and asked if the action would cut down on the amount of time that the City
Attorney would have to be with Council. City Attorney Leibold explairied
that the Law requires that the City establish a time and place for it's
xegularly scheduled meeting. She indicated that there was a resolution that
fulfilled that statutory obligation and set the meetings on the second and
fourth Tuesday of every month at 7:00 p.m.; and it was up to the City
Council to set the desired time and days for the Regular City Council
Meetings. She further indicated that the resolution presented was a
suggestion and Council could set the Meeting and order for any time and at
any facility. She noted that Council pays for a law enforcement officer to
attend the meetings on an hourly basis and the earlier hours would create a
saving. She noted that the Department Directors and herself were present as
a basic service, however if there was a need for a special counsel it would
create savings as well.
PAGE THREE - SPECIAL MEETING - APRIL 24, 2001
City Attorney Leibold explained her basic service and stated that she
worked at Council's pleasure. Mayor Schiffner asked what would happen if
there was a small Closed Session portion of the Agenda. City Attorney
Leibold stated that if Council should choose to move the hour of the
Regular Meeting convene at 4:00 or 5:00 p.m. and Closed Session be over
quickly, Council could recess to 7:00 p.m. She suggested that Council
evaluate the benefit of the Agenda Review and consider if it would be
valuable to continue the Agenda Review Meeting. She noted the difficulty
in research or fact finding prior to the 7:00 p.m. Meeting; however she
could work with any scenario. She indicated that the draft resolution states
4:00 p.m., however Council could set the Meeting for 5:00 p.m. or any time
they deem necessary. City Attorney Leibold made note of the City Council
Policy, which sets the order of the Agenda for regularly scheduled meeting.
She noted that there was no set time for Closed Session, therefore if Council
finished by 5:00 p.m., they could recess and return for the open 7:00 p.m.
meeting. Mayor Schiffner commented that there were some
Councilmembers that choose not to participate in the Agenda Review and
noted that if the Agenda Review portion were to stay on the Regular
Meeting Agenda it would force those members to attend. City Attorney
Leibold stated that Roll would be called as part of the regularly scheduled
Agenda and if any of the members were absent it would be so noted. She
explained that if they were able to join the Council Meeting at a later time,
their attendance would be so noted in the minutes. Mayor Schiffner asked if
it was possible to start the City Council Meetings at 5:00 p.m. and go right
into Closed Session with the Agenda Review Study Session being a separate
meeting starting at 4:00 p.m. City Attorney Leibold confirmed and stated
that if it were Council's preference to start the Regular Meeting at 5:00 p.m.
and roll directly into Closed Session with the 7:00 p.m. regular meeting
following it would be acceptable. She stated that generally Council did not
need two hours to meet for Closed Session and could recess and reconvene
at 7:00 p.m. Mayor Pro Tem Brinley stated that the last Closed Session
lasted one hour and forty minutes. City Attorney Leibold indicated that if
there was unfinished business it would have to be concluded at the end of
the open session meeting. Mayor Pro Tem Brinley stated that she would
like to see Closed Session begin at 5:00 p.m. Mayor Schiffner asked if the
Closed Session should take longer, was there any rule that stated that
Council must begin at 7:00 p.m. City Attorney Leibold stated that for
certainty of the public and media, Closed Session should be stopped as
close to 7:00 p.m. as possible; Council should come out of Closed Session
to open meeting; and then at the end of the open meeting recess back into
Closed Session if there was unfinished business. She noted that there was
no legal requirement, however it had been proposed in the suggested
context to extend that courtesy to the public, so people would know when to
expect the open meeting to start. There was general discussion regarding
the improvements the proposed action would make to the Council Meetings
by having Closed Session first.
Councilwoman Kelley questioned the impact Item No. 34, regarding
Funding One Half Capital and Operations Cost for Island Wells, would
PAGE FOUR - SPECIAL MEETING - APRIL 24, 2001
have on the Fill and Operate Agreement. City Attorney Leibold stated that
Deputy City Attorney Ron Van Blarcom would address the matter with
Couneil. She indicated that generally the City Attorney's Office would
suggest that the City does not have a legal obligation to split the costs,
however that does not mean that there was not a public benefit to the action,
and does not mean that the Council does not have the authority to split the
costs; however what the City Attorney's Office would suggest was should
the majority of the Council elect to appropriate funds towards the cost that it
be in conjunction with some type of formal written agreement to establish
an understanding between the parties; establish that the City was not
waiving rights; a process be followed to determine what each party's
participation was in the process; how to determine what the costs are; and
who determines them. Mayor Schiffner stated that he felt that the City had
to proceed with the action, however he would like to see some assurance
that whatever the City does now be made a part of any future decisions as to
appropriation of costs and be retroactive to include the cost of this action.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Chris Hyland, 15191 Wavecrest Drive, addressed Item No. 6, regarding
Cancellation of the May 8th City Council Meeting and asked why the
reason was not given as to why the Meeting was being canceled. Mayor
Schiffner noted that it was in the Agenda Packet, which was available to the
public at City Hall front counter. Ms. Hyland stated that not everyone was
able to view the Agenda material at the front counter. She stated that she
felt that it should be stated on the Agenda cover sheet. Mayor Schiffner
stated that the public had the right to request to speak on the item and it
would be pulled and discussed if there were any further questions. City
Attorney Leibold stated that the Agenda cover sheet was sufficient as
presented and the purpose of the cancellation was an anticipated lack of a
quorum. She explained that the anticipated lack of a quorum would be due
to attendance at the CWA Conference. She acknowledged Ms. Hyland's
suggestion.
Mayor Schiffner stressed the ability of the public to pull any item that they
wished to have discussed for fizrther information or clarification.

DISCUSSION ITEM
AsendaReview. (F:44.1)
Councilwoman Kelley addressed Item No. 6, regarding the Award of
Contract for Lake Street Pavement Rehabilitation and asked when the
project would begin and end. City Manager Watenpaugh stated that
the project would begin in mid June and would be completed in mid-
September. Councilwoman Kelley asked if Lake Street would be
closed the entire time. City Manager Watenpaugh indicated that it
would not be closed throughout the entire project, however there
would be times when the road would have to be closed for a few days
at a time. Community Development Director Brady assured Council
that Lake Streetwould be open to the public with the exception of
three different occasions at which time the roadway would only be
closed for two or three days. He indicated that he would be printing
notices in the newspaper and installing signs to let the motorists know,
however his department would not know a definite date until
approximately a week prior to the necessary closures. Councilwoman
Kelley noted the quarter page advertisement that the City of Temecula
runs to present an update on the Capital Projects. She indicated that
although the City does not have that type of thing budgeted, she
would like the City of Lake Elsinore to provide something similar on
a smaller scale. Information/Communications Manager Dennis
PAGE TWO - STUDY SESSION - MAY 22, 2001
indicated that there was some money budgeted for advertisement and
he could coordinate an article to update the local motorists.
Councilwoman Kelley stated that the City could do the update once a
month or even once a quarter to present an update to the citizens
regarding Capital Projects. Information/Communications Manager
Dennis stated that he would coordinate with Community Development
Director Brady and follow up with the newspaper. Mayor Schiffner
asked if the same thing could be placed on the Lake Elsinore Web
site. City Manager Watenpaugh stated that the contractor would be
placing a sign on the roadway informing the public of their startup
time and closures. Information/Communications Manager Dennis
stated that he could have the information posted on the Web page and
it would appear in the "What's Happening" page. Mayor Schiffner
noted the confusion regarding the Brine Line and explained that
several people told him they thought it was reclaimed water.
Information/ Communications Manager Dennis indicated that he felt
that the public might develop that perception since Eastern has called
the Brine Line water, non-reclaimable water.
Chris Hyland, 15191 Wavecrest Drive asked about the rerouting of
traffic during the closures. Community Development Director Brady
stated that he did not know exactly where or when the closures would
take place, however the issue would be brought to the contractor's
attention at the preconstruction meeting. He explained that the final
decision would have to be made by the City Traffic Engineer and City
Engineer. City Manager Watenpaugh asked if the City could
coordinate with CalTrans for a sign on the Freeway to inform people
that Lake Street was closed, before they exited the Freeway.
City Manager Watenpaugh addressed Item No. 7 regarding the
Agreement for Janitorial Maintenance Work. He asked if the contract
amount of $22,620 was a savings over the current contract.

created savings of $4,000 annually.
Councilwoman Kelley addressed Item No. 8 regarding the Landscape
and Maintenance Agreement with Tuscany Hills Landscape and
Recreation Corporation. She asked for clarification regarding the
non-profit status. City Manager Watenpaugh explained that the City
staff, City Attorney and the Tuscany Hills Landscape Corporation had
negotiated the contract with the LLMD to do the maintenance on all
of the landscaping at Tuscany Hills. He indicated that they felt they
could do the landscaping better and cheaper than the City. He further
eaplained that the LLMD costs would be reimbursed to the contractor
at Tuscany. Mayar Schiffner asked if was a completed deal with the
contractor. City Manager Watenpaugh explained that with the
Council approval of the Agreement would be complete, therefore if
the contractor should wish to change anything it would be brought
PAGE THREE - STUDY SESSION - MAY 22, 2001
back to Council. He noted that in the past the Home Owners
Association choose not to handle their own landscaping, however the
current Board feels that they can, therefore the responsibility for
Landscaping would be the sole responsibility of the Homeowners
Association. Councilwoman Kelley noted that any complaint
regarding the Landscaping at Tuscany Hills would have to go to the
Homeowners Association. City Manager Watenpaugh confirmed.
Councilwoman Kelley addressed Item No. 9 regarding CR&R Inc.
Annual Consumer Price Index Increase for Refuse Collection. She
asked if David Fahrion, President of CR&R would be present at the
Council Meeting. City Manager stated that he did not think so, but
e~lained that this was an annual item.
City Manager Watenpaugh addressed Item No. 10 addressing
WRCOG Dues Increase. He explained that it amounts to $170
annually. Councilwoman Kelley questioned the amount of time since
WRCOG raised their fees. City Manager Watenpaugh stated that they
have collected fees for other projects, however they have not raised
their Membership Fees in the last 10 years.
Mayor Schiffner asked if the City had any correspondence from the
League of California Cities regarding the new program that they were
proposing to set representatives by districts. City Manager
Watenpaugh stated that would be brought before Council the First
Regular City Council Meeting in June.
Mayor Schiffner addressed Item No. lb addressing the Regular City
Council Minutes of Apri124, 2001. He stated that he had a correction
on Page 4 and stated that what he had said was "Mayor Schiffner
noted that he had spent several years on the Planning Commission and
during the time that he spent on Planning Commission he had never
seen a recommendation made by the Planning staff that was not
approved by the Design Review Committee." He stated that it was his
intent to eaplain that the change was not out of order since he had
never seen staff's recommendation overruled before. City Manager
Watenpaugh stated that this should be corrected at the Council
Meeting.
Councilwoman Kelley addressed Item No. 21 regarding Tentative
Tract Map No. 29637 and asked for clarification regarding the
location of the Tract. City Manager Watenpaugh noted that this was
the Tozai Development and was located near Running Deer Road and
Mountain Street. He e~lained that it was in the West End of the
Valley up against the mountain.

Homes Tract. Community Development Director Brady stated it was
PAGE FOUR - STUDY SESSION - MAY 22, 2001
staff's be in escrow; therefore the City might see some activity on the
site. Councilwoman Kelley stated that City Manager Watenpaugh had
indicated that the conditions would follow the Tract. Mayor Schiffner
asked if the Tract boundaries were in the City. City Manager
Watenpaugh noted that the City boundaries were on three sides of the
Tract.
Councilwoman Kelley addressed Item No. 32 regarding Capital
Improvement Projects Budgets for Fiscal Years 2000/O1 and 2001/02.
She asked if the Library had been added into the Capital Budget. City
Manager Watenpaugh noted that the Library Budget had $136,000
with $8,000 still in this years budget that had not been spent. He
indicated that there would be $126,000 a~ailable for allocation in the
new budget year. He indicated that if Council wished to add
additional funding for books in the Library budget, he would request
that Council do so at the time the Capital Budget is heard.
Mayor Schiffner addressed Item No. 33 regarding the request for a
Letter of Support for Riverside Latino Commission on Alcohol and
Drug Abuse Services, Inc. City Manager Watenpaugh indicated that
when the Latino Commission met with the staff and the Mayor it was
shared with them that the Council would be very supportive of a
facility that had been proposed, however at this time staff could not
recommend that funding be allocated to the project. He further
indicated that if Council wished to shuffle money to support the
project that would have to be done at budget time. He noted that the
proposed facility would be built in Indio and possibly Council might
wish to support the facility sometime in the future. Mayor Schiffner
stated that he did not recall the Commission representatives making
any specific request for support, however they did ask for any support
the City could lend. City Manager Watenpaugh stated that it was
discussed that they were receiving different amounts from various
agencies. Mayor Schiffner asked if there was any funding available
for the project. City Manager Watenpaugh stated that staff would not
recommend taking any monies from the Reserve; however if the
Council wished to assist in the funding of the facility, it would have to
be staff's recommendation to make a budget adjustment and cut
something else. He indicated that there was no idea how many people
from the City would be utilizing the facility to determine how much
the City should be involved.

a reduced fee for Seniar Citizens, however they receive a different

matter.

Councilwoman Kelley addressed Item No. 33, regarding the OMG billboard
Revision Request. She clarified that they had reeeived the right to two
billboards and only took one and now they want two again. City Manager
Watenpaugh explained that there was a Settlement Agreement with Owens,
Adams and OMG. He indicated that OMG was authorized two additional
billboards. He noted that they did not install them and approximately six
months ago the item came before Council for a reduction from two to one
PAGE THREE - STUDY SESSION - JULY 10, 2001
billboard to be locate on the northeast side of the freeway on the corner of I-
15 and Central, next to Burger King; now they are asking to go back to the
original Agreement and get two signs: one on the southeast corner of Central
(south of Douglas Burger); and the other location yet to be designated.
Councilwoman Kelley noted that OMG owes the CiTy $18,000. Mayor
Schiffner asked what the $18,000 was for. City Manager Watenpaugh
indicated that as part of the Agreement, OMG had agreed to pay the City
$500 a year per sign, which was never paid. He explained that not only does
OMG owe the City the $18,000, but also they will continue to owe $500 per
sign annually for the other three or four signs that they have in the City.
Mayar Pro Tem Brinley stated that the lack of payment to date and the
recognition of debt just when they wish to install more billboards causes her
a great deal of concem. City Manager Watenpaugh commented that Mr.
Coalter alleged that he had forgotten to pay and now he acknowledged the
debt in a letter and it would be up to Council to make a decision. City
Manager Watenpaugh clarified OMG's past history. Councilwoman Kelley
clarified that Council was under no obligation to go back to two, since
Council had approved their request for one biilboard. City Manager
Watenpaugh confirmed. Mayor Schiffner asked if the Ciry was obligated to
even one biilboazd, if they do not pay their back debt. City Manager
Watenpaugh explained that OMG would have to pull a permit prior to
installing a billboard and prior to issuance of a pernut; they would have to
pay the fees. Mayor Schiffner stated that it should be made clear to OMG
that until the past fees are paid there would be no further permits.
Mayor Schiffner noted that the map found in Agenda Item No. 33, did not
show the triangle shape island that is located at Coliier and Central. He
asked if that changed the signalization of the intersection. City Manager
Watenpaugh indicated that the City was working with Cal Trans regarding
the radius for the new signals and stated that the island parcel mentioned
must be acquired prior to the widening of the street and installation of the
signal. He explained that the parcel map does not accurately depict the
corner of Collier and Central.
Mayor Schiffner addressed Item No. 21, regarding Zone Change No. 2001-
O1 Stater Brothers/Mission Trail Shopping Center. He noted that the
PAGE FOUR - STUDY SESSION - JULY 10, 2001
paragraph under the Discussion section should read, "second hand thrift
stores".
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
Board Member Schiffner addressed Item No. 2, regard'mg the Letter of
Understanding establishing a period of negotiation with Civic Parmers -
Elsinore, LLC, and asked what the difference was between "with" and
"without" prejudice. Deputy Legal Counsel Mann explained that "without
prejudice" means that the party had the opportunity to file a lawsuit within
the statute of limitations. He ga~e the following example: If in the first three
months a suit is filed and dismissed without prejudice, the pariy wouid still
have nine mare months to refile the suit; however, if the suit was dismissed
with prejudice, it could not be refiled.

was added to the side of the building to break up the wa11 and make it more
attractive. Mayor Pro Tem Brinley clanified that there would be no roof
mounted heating or air-conditioning units. Planning Manager Villa
indicated that any heating and air-conditioning units would be at ground
level, however the majority of the project would not include heating and air-
conditioning because they would be used for storage, Mayor Pro Tem
Brinley questioned the landscaping. Plauning Manager Villa explained that
the proposed site would contain mature palm trees as wetl as various
planting materials to enhance the site. Mayor Pro Tem Brinley questioned
traffic. Plaiuinig Manager Villa stated that h-affic mitigation was not an
issue since it was found that the type of proposed facility would create
considerably less traffic than a commercial project. Mayor Pro Tem Brinley

facility was proposed to be open to the public from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
and available to the renters with a card key from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. He

MayorPro Tem Brinley addressed Item No. 6 regarding a ea11 for Projects
for 2002 STIP Discretionary Funds - Funding for Widening of Casino Drive
Bridge at San Jacinto~River. City Manager Watenpaugh explained that the
item was a request from staff to enable them to file a report with Riverside
Caunty Transportation Commission. He noted that this would not be a
guarantee by Council for support of the project prior to next years budget,
however it would provide a commitment by Council to consider funding
10% of the project, which would be the City's share of the project cost. The
action would a11ow the process to move forward and allow RCTC to start
their evaluation process. He indicated that should Council choose not to
fund the project in neat year's budget, then it could be pulled, however the
process must begin now to qualify for the funding from RCTC. Mayor
Schiffner noted that he hoped that the City would not get into the same type
of problems that were eaperienced with the Lakeshore Bridge.
Mayor Pro Tem Brinley addressed Item No. 8; regarding the Westem
Riverside Council of Governments Request for Support relating to the

supporter of the program and outlined the benefits of the program. She
noted that host homes were requested and asked if the City Manager had
received a letter requesting support. City Manager Watenpaugh noted that

availability to a11 ciries, as opposed to individual cities fighting over the
Program. He presented an overview of the requirements of the progam.
Mayor Pro Tem Brinley encouraged Councii's support of the Program.
Mayor Schiffner stated that it was a step in the right direction, however if
this program does not work, then he felt that the City should evaluate the
effectiveness of the League.

Chris Hyland, 15191 Wavecrest Drive, addressed the upcoming City Council
Election and noted that any person chosen at that election would automatically
become a member of the Redevelopment Agency Board. She indicated that the
dual membership was unfortunate for the community, and posed a serious conflict
of interest which was financially damaging to the community. She advised that if
she was elected the two entities would be separated, and she would force tough
financial issues to be debated openly and publicly, so funds could no longer be
shuffled between the two. She indicated that appointment of RDA board members
would create new opportunities for citizen participation.
