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.

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.

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. City Manager Watenpaugh stated that he would be announcing the new Fire Chief for Lake Elsinore.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
