ITEMS PULLED FROM CONSENT CALENDAR
4. 516 North Main Street = Letter of Aqreement & Allocation of Funds.
(F:134.7)(X:32.4) -
Boardmember Alongi asked why the Agency would consider reimbursing 516 N.
Main Street.
Legal Counsel Harper explained that the agreement presented is the product
of negotiations with the property owner to resolve an abatement problem
without the necessity to take formal action. He further stated that after
due consideration by the Redevelopment Agency, in an effort to resolve the
problem in a timely fashion and to avoid litigation this agreement was
reached between the property owner and the Agency to solve the problem.
PAGE TWO - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - MAY 12, 1992
Mr. Harper further explained that the future provision relating to the
application of fees was to encourage the immediate redevelopment of the
property by the owner.
Boardmember Alongi inquired whether any plans have been submitted to the
Redevelopment Agency for the property.
Legal Counsel Harper clarified that the agreement contains two parts; one
for the demolition of the property and the other for the redevelopment of
the property. He further explained that the Agency will stand the cost of
demolition because the property owner disagreed with the demolition of the
property and would have contested the City's position on the property and
impeded the redevelopment of the property.
Boardmember Alongi expressed concern with Redevelopment Agency funds
being spent on private property having no time limit as to when the
development will take place. He suggested that there be a time limit
placed on the property, such as, if in twenty-four months development does
not take place, the money spent will be converted into a low interest loan
until such time as the property is developed. Mr. Alongi stressed that he
feels a time limit is a necessity.
Legal Counsel Harper clarified the demolition costs which he believed to be
under $20,000, with the additional costs being lost income. He further
clarified that the final figure was reached after much negotiation and
would only be applied to development fees within the next five years.
Boardmember Alongi stated that the taxpayer should not have to bear the
cost if the development does not take place in a timely fashion.
MOVED BY WASHBURN SECONDED BY WINKLER AND CARRIED BY A 4-1 VOTE WITH ALONGI
CASTING THE DISSENTING VOTE TO APPROVE THE LETTER OF AGREEMENT AND ALLOCATION
OF FUNDS.
5. "Sundowner Restaurant" = 16898 Lakeshore Drive. (F:134.7)(X:32.4)
Executive Director Molendyk explained that this is another structure that
has been brought to the Board as an eyesore. The property owner submitted
a letter to the previous Redevelopment Agency Board requesting assistance
to abate the structure because it is beyond repair. Mr. Molendyk further
stated that the Agency might want to consider a interest free loan for a
set period of time or a lien on the property.
Boardmember Alongi still feels that there should be some type of time line
to condition the property owner to either develop the property within a set
time or to repay the Redevelopment Agency the funds at a low interest rate.
He stressed his belief that the problems of the property owner are not the
problems of the Agency; the Agency is responsible to the taxpayer and not
individual property owners. Boardmember Alongi again stressed the need for
a time limit.
Boardmember Washburn stated that the City has had a successful structural
abatement program which has yielded results, with part of the success due
to the cooperation of the Redevelopment Agency's cooperation to facilitate
the abatements. Boardmember Washburn stated that he has no problem with
placing a time limit.
Legal Counsel Harper stated that if that is the approach that the Board
would like to take, then there should be a formulation of what the Agency
would like and the item continued in order to take this issue back to the
property owner. He further stated that under the assumption that the
property owner did not agree then that would commence the abatement
process. This allows for a number of hearings and an appeal process
allowing the property owner the opportunity to rehabilitate the property.
Legal Counsel Harper explained that one of the reasons the Redevelopment
Agency approached the abatements in a lenient manner was to facilitate a
speedy abatement and resolve the nuisances. He also clarified the process
for placing a lien.
PAGE THREE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - MAY 12, 1992
Boardmember Alongi reemphasized the need for a time limit.
Boardmember Winkler stated that he was more interested in getting rid of
some of the buildings rather than trying to rehabilitate them. He further
stated that he would prefer to see this particular building demolished.
Boardmember Alongi stated that he had no problem with taking the building
down.
Boardmember Winkler also stated that the Agency is being more aggressive on
abatements and in doing so subsidizing the abatements. This reduces the
opportunity for rehabilitation of the buildings and encourages abatement,
creating the potential for improved developments on those sites.

removed for the parking lot. He also explained that the intent is to offer
low interest loans to the merchants and assist them with 50% of the costs

Executive Director Molendyk explained the concerns of staff regarding the
time frame of the contract and the time limits which are required of the
contractor for completion.
Public Services Director Tecca explained his concerns in regard to award of
contract to Taylor-Shafer and their agreement to complete the project
within 30 days with the exception of the long order items such as street
lights which will take longer to get than 30 days. If they do not meet
their deadline, then they will have to pay liquidated damages and they are
aware of this situation.
Chairwoman Cherveny questioned the amount of liquidated damages.
Public Services Director Tecca stated that it is in the amount of,$200 per
day. Chairwoman Cherveny requested that it be increased to $1,000 per day.
Deputy Legal Counsel Burns stated that the Board has the authority to
PAGE THREE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - MAY 26, 1992
reject all bids and then raise the amount of liquidated damages to a
potential $1,000 per day which would not be unreasonable. He further
stated that this would set the project back by quite a bit, but would give
the Agency the opportunity to change the amount of the liquidated damages.
Public Services Director Tecca explained that in order to complete the
project by July 4, 1992 a Notice to Proceed must be issued on May 27,
1992. He advised that he would get with the attorney and see if the
liquidated damages portion can be increased.
Boardmember Alongi stated that he would like to see local merchants used
for public works projects in the City. This would help to provide funds
back to the City. He inquired whether there could be something included in
the contracts whereby the contractor would agree to use local merchants
even if the City must allow a 5% override.
Chairman Cherveny requested clarification of this contract. Executive
Director Molendyk stated that legally,we must go to bid if the contract is
over $5,000.
Deputy Legal Counsel Burns stated that at this time it is not legal to
limit contracts to in City firms.
Executive Director Molendyk explained the procedure for projects and how
they must be bid.
Boardmember Alongi inquired why the City does not order items needed in
advance. Executive Director Molendyk stated that due to warranty
restrictions the City must let the contractor acquire the supplies.

Executive Director Molendyk advised that this item was coming back for
clarification.
Boardmember Alongi advised that he understands steps can be taken to obtain
these funds. He stressed that he wants the return of this money to occur.
Chairwoman Cherveny questioned the point of confusion. Community
Development Manager Shear inquired whether this abatement was to be
completed without lien or repayment; the confusion was with this point.
Boardmember Alongi reemphasized his concern with the repayment and his
preference that it not be done with a lien, but a definite time line.
Chairwoman Cherveny clarified that the action was to proceed with the
abatement with no repayment and no additional action is necessary.
Boardmember Winkler clarified that this was a compromise to assure that the
building is removed.

BOARDMEMBER COMMENTS
Boardmember Alongi commented that he is not concerned with buildings being
removed, because he feels it is not the City's business to remove them. He
stressed that the money should be returned with interest because he doesn't
feel the property should be subsidized. He felt this was the wrong way to use
valuable Redevelopment Agency monies.
Chairwoman Cherveny advised that she is discussing Redevelopment Agency loans
with the Executive Director.

BUSINESS ITEMS
1. Award of Contract _ Graham Avenue Parkinq Lot. (F:112.2)
City Manager Molendyk explained that this contract was previously awarded
to the low bidder at the Redevelopment Agency Meeting of May 26, 1992,
however, based on time frame requested, they chose not to accept the
contract. The intent of this meeting is to award to the second low bidder,
Vance Corporation. Mr. Molendyk also explained that due to property
ownership in the immediate area two members of the board are unable to
participate in this discussion; and due to client representation another
member is unable to participate. He further explained that due to this
situation the Deputy City Attorney was contacted fox direction, and the
"Ruling of Necessity" procedure with each member has been presented was
provided.
Based on the "Ruling of Necessity", the Boardmembers made the following
disclosures of their financial interests to clarify their inabilities to
vote on this matter:
Vice Chairman Winkler announced that his law firm represents Vance
Corporation.
Boardmember pominguez announced that he holds property in the vicinity of
this project.
Boardmember Washburn announced that he holds the property at 123 S. Main
Street adjacent to this project.
City Clerk Kasad stated that "because this Contract exceeds the allowable
level for administrative processing, the Redevelopment Agency approval was
required for the original award of contract as well as any subsequent
award. For that reason we are left with no alternative for approval other
than a majority vote of a quorum of the Redevelopment Agency Board".
BY A DRAW OF STRAWS BOARDMEMBER WINKLER WAS DESIGNATED THE REHABILITATED MEMBER
FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF A QUORUM.
MOVED BY ALONGI, SECONDED BY CHERVENY TO AWARD THE CONTRACT TO THE SECOND LOW
BIDDER, VANCE CORPORATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $192,561.79.
Boardmember Alongi commented on the difference in bid amounts and its
relation to the budgeted amount. He questioned the ability to renegotiate
the contract to meet the engineer's estimate of $161,465.08.
REDEUELOPMENT AGENfY MINUTES - MAY 29, 1992
Public Services Director Tecca clarified the time line of the contract and
the changes and extension of time requested by the low bidder and their
decision to withdraw their bid.
Boardmember Alongi further questioned the ability to renegotiate the
contract to meet the engineer's estimate.
Senior Civil Engineer Shell clarified the limitations of renegotiating and
the requirements of this bid.
Executive Director Molendyk further clarified that the only real options
are to accept the second low bidder or reject all bids and begin the
process again; which would make the July 4th completion nearly impossible.
Chairwoman Cherveny commented that the key focus of this bid was the need
to complete the parking lot by July 4th, and to that extent if the second
bidder can proceed then that appears to be a good option. She stressed the
need to scrutinize any requests for change orders on this contract.
Boardmember Alongi questioned this firm's ability to start on schedule.
Public Services Director Tecca advised that they will be beginning work
today.
THE FOREGOING MOTION CARRIED BY A MAJORITY VOTE OF THE QUORUM EARLIER

award a purchase order to Artukovich & 3ans; followed by numerous delays
requiring award of purchase order to a new firm.
Chairwoman Cherveny inquired whether bids had been received on this item.
Mr. Tecca advised that bids were not received due to the perceived
emergency nature of the repairs.
Boardmember Washburn questioned the time frame for the work to begin. Mr.
Tecca advised that it would be within 5 working days.

Lot 113 & 117 South Main Street .
Councilman Alongi advised that if the Agency is going to pay 1/2 the cost
of the proposed improvements he would like to see a drawing of how the
obstacles will be covered and what will be done. He questioned the frame
out area and work on venting ducts and whether they were included in the
proposal. He also questioned the proposed letter to the property owners
and the clause that it is their responsibility to contact the contractor
and suggested that the City is the lead on the project and the City should
be the contact.
Councilman Dominguez advised that a meeting is scheduled with the
contractor.
City Manager Molendyk commented on the concerns and suggested that the best
option might be to start over.
Councilman Alongi clarified that he feels the bids are in order, but he
needed clarification.
City Attorney Narper explained the bidding process and the limitations such
as the inability to make substantive changes to the original scope of work.
MOVED BY ALONGI, SECONDED BY WINKLER TO TABLE THIS ITEM FOR FURTHER
INVESTIGATION AND CLARIFICATION.
Councilwoman Cherveny questioned the options on this item. City Manager
Molendyk advised that there are basically two options: 1) continue the
item for evaluation or 2) throw out the bids and start over. City Attorney
Harper clarified that this is not a~ advertised public hearing and it is
not necessary to continue it, only bring it back when the concerns have
been clarified.
Councilman Alongi questioned the need to go out to bid based on the overall
costs. City Manager Harper advised that whatever the direction, he would
want to review the process and situation with Engineering prior to
approval.
City Manager Molendyk suggested that the first step is to confirm the scope
of work and them receive bids if appropriate.

(f:134.7)
Executive Director Molendyk explained that this item has been heard
previously by the Agency and reconsideration of this item was requested by
Boardmember Alongi. He further explained that the hotel has been
considered for rehabilitation by the Housing Corporation of America and
that they have applied for State funding for the project to provide senior
low cost housing. It further appears as though the State Department of
Housing is in favor of the project and could possibly award a grant for the
project in the amount of $957,000. Executive Director Molendyk explained
that if they receive the grant they will approach the Redevelopment Agency
for assistance. The Housing Corporation of America and the owner Mr.
Mitchell requested that the Agency secure an option on the building for a
period of three months to allow the State funding mechanism to mature. The
option would be for $3,000 a month, to be applied to the acquisition cost;
this would allow the Housing Corporation to give evidence to the State that
there is an option.
Boardmember Alongi explained that he is very interested in providing
affordable housing for Senior Citizens of low income. He further stated
that since his concerns had been resolved he would be in favor of pursuing
the project.
Legal Counsel Harper stated that when this project was originally proposed
to the City, Boardmember Washburn did advise legal counsel of potential
conflict in regard to this project. He further explained that Boardmember
Washburn is aware of the conflict and did not get involved with either the
Board or the owner in regard to this project.
Boardmember Winkler stated that each member should make their decision in
regard to what is best for the Community. He further explained that every
Boardmember will be accused of all sorts of things and this must be ignored
and decisions made for what is right for the Community.

Boardmember Washburn inquired whether this parking lot would be gated.
Ray Grage, 110 S. Main Street, representing the applicant Dr. Bare, advised
that the plan calls for a key operated gate which would remain open during
business hours.
Councilman Alongi questioned the public parking and problems which might
occur if cars are parked there at closing time. Mr. Grage advised that it
would be proposed that the lot be clearly signed with regard to closing
times; and after a specified time the local towing company would have
access.
Executive Director Molendyk clarified that this is not being required by
the City, and it might be best if the public parking is eliminated.
Boardmember pominguez suqgested that the clause in the report relating to

7. Lake Aeration S stem. (F:92.1)
Executive Director Molendyk explained that there had been problems with the
Lake regarding fish die off, due to water level fluctuations and poor water
quality. He detailed the costs that could be expected for clean up if the
fish kill occurs.
PAGE THREE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - JULY 28, 1992
Special Project Manager Basham explained that the best long term solution
for the Lake is to raise the water level, as the cost is prohibitive at
this time. He further explained that when Lake Management nears its end
the addition of water to the Lake will be realized. Mr. Basham
explained the algae bloom which occurs in the Lake when the water level
drops and the temperature rises; and the related fish kill.
Mr. Charles Cole, C.M. Engineer, 225 E. Airport Drive, San Bernardino
explained the process of installing an aeration system to replace oxygen in
the.water and advised that it is the easiest, most economical solution at
this time. He detailed the timing for getting the various levels of service
on line.
Dr. Dov Grajcer of Aquafarms International, Inc., Mecca, explained the
cause of algae bloom and the need for aeration. He detailed a three step
solution as follows:
1. Get oxygen into the Lake.
2. Add biological c.ontrol.
3. Lake Management.
Chairwoman Cherveny asked what is involved in doing the findings. City
Attorney Harper explained that evidence must be received that the project
is a benefit to the Redevelopment Project Area which will be providing the
funds for this project.
Boardmember Washburn stated that he is in favor of the project because it
will make the Lake Elsinore Management Authority a responsible participant
in the Lake and will enhance the image the City has worked for and
encourage the fishing which was very popular in the past.
Boardmember Alongi questioned the amount that it would take to replace the
water in the Lake if the aeration system creates more evaporation. He
further stated that if the water is replaced by L.E.M.A. or E.V.M.W.D.,
then he has no problem with the aeration system.
Executive Director Molendyk explained that even through it is an expense to
the City it will eliminate a health hazard which is created by the fish
kill. He further explained that the City, Elsinore Valley
Municipal Water District and the State Park have been responsible for
cleaning up the fish kill and in the last few years it has been harder to
dispose of the fish due to the restrictions of the EPA. This is a long
term project and is not just temporary as the aeration will continue even
after the lake receives more water.
Boardmember pominguez stated that this is a State problem and not a City
problem and the situation has not occurred this year and should be
addressed when it does occur and not before. He further explained that if
the water is moved around there is evaporation and there are the wells to
place water back into the lake to eliminate the fish kill problem.
Boardmember Alongi explained that it was his understanding that if fresh
water is added to the Lake, the algae bloom will not occur. He stated
that he agreed with Boardmember pominguez that this is a State problem and
if the City gets the Lake, then it will be the City's problem.
Boardmember Washburn suggested that this is an investment in the future of
the Lake. He further suggested that this is to increase the quality of the
water, prevent fish kills and work toward improving the image of the Lake.
Boardmember Alongi expressed his concern over the replenishment of the
water due to loss from aeration at 4 foot of water per year.
Boardmember Winkler stated that he would like to see this item go to
L.E.M.A. first and then possibly have a study session with the Elsinore
Valley Municipal Water District and bring it back to the Redevelopment
Agency at the next meeting.

MOVED BY DOMINGUEZ, SECONDED BY WASHBURN AND CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE TO TAKE
THE RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING THE LAKE AERATION SYSTEM TO L.E.M.A. fOR THEIR
INPUT.
8. Amber Ri'dae Sewer Study (F:159.1)
Executive Director Molendyk explained that staff has been to several
meetings to gain input in regard to the existing problems. Ne further
explained that a study is necessary to ascertain the findings in order for
the Board to reach a decision as this project is outside the boundaries of
the Redevelopment Agency.
Boardmember Winkler questioned the need for paragraph three on page two of
the proposal. Mr. Basham explained that due to the fact that this was in
an area where there was other similar potential problems he felt that this
was necessary to the findings for other potential requests for assistance.
Boardmember Winkler stated that this issue is separate and different from
other areas and only addresses the specified area.
Boardmember pominguez asked how many homes were involved. Mr. Basham
explained that in Amber Ridge there are 180 homes that are not sewered.
The study would give guidance in regard to how many of those homes will
need to be connected to sewer.
Legal Counsel Harper explained that under the assumption that the problems
are the same as across the street regarding Kaufman and Broad, the
difficulty was either they didn't adequately or didn't at all pot hole the
project to determine whether the ground was sufficiently permeable to
handle the septic systems. He advised tHat was why the septic systems
failed, and assumed that the problems were similar.
Boardmember pominguez stated that that area should form an assessment
district.
Special Projects Coordinator Basham explained that the Elsinore Valley
Water District has approach the home owners in that area regarding an
assessment district formation and the property owners felt that the cost
was too high and approached the City for assistance.
Boardmember Winkler stated that the tract was approved by the City and he
felt that the City had a moral obligation to assist. He further stated
that because some of the residents are not having any problems and do not
want to form a district, it is nearly impossible for the residents who
are having the problems to form an assessment district. He stressed that
this was the City's opportunity to save a neighborhood.
Chairwoman Cherveny questioned how one housinq tract affects the rest of
the District. Legal Counsel Harper explained that this is the purpose of
the study is to determine if the Redevelopment Agency should be involved.
Boardmember Alongi explained that the Water District had asked the
homeowners to take a survey of the people who are affected by this problem
and the Water District had found a low interest fund to assist the area.
He further stated that he had no problem with the Agency providing a low
interest loan for the laterals, but still felt that the Water District
is the responsible entity.

Pro.iect. (F:156.2)
Executive Director Molendyk requested that this item be considered in
Closed Session prior to consideration due to potential litigation.
5. Lake Aeration Svstem. (F:92.1)
Executive Director Molendyk explained that this item was before the Board
on July 28, 1992, and staff was directed to make a presentation to the Lake
Elsinore Management Authority (LEMA) at their August 6, 1992 meeting. Mr.
Molendyk further stated that if the Redevelopment Agency Board did approve
this item that there is a urgency resolution which allows staff to take
bids on the equipment to mitigate the situation before there is a health
problem.
Special Projects Coordinator Basham explained that at the August 6th
PAGE TWO - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - AUGUST 11, 1992
meeting, LEMA approved the use of the alternate aeration system using
twelve, five horsepower aeration pumps to be donated by EVMWD. He further
explained that LEMA authorized $134,500 of their funds for design and
construction of the system upon the following conditions:
1. LEMA and the City of Lake Elsinore are to enter into an
agreement which designates the City as the lead agency
responsible for the design and construction of the
aeration system.
2. The City will contract with the design consultant and
administer the construction of the system.
3. Time is of the essence, and the aeration system is to be
designed and installed as soon as possible to avoid fish
kills. The consultant indicated one week is needed for
testing and three additional weeks to construct. Should
a fish kill occur prior to completion of the system, the
City was instructed to have conditions in the contract
which will allow them to stop design/construction of the
system and terminate the contract. The work completed
would be paid for by LEMA and would be salvaged for use
next year.
4. The City is to pay for the systems monthly operation costs
(estimated to be $1,500 to $3,000/month electrical costs
through October, 1992, plus miscellaneous system repair
costs.) The system will then be removed and stored for
future use.
5. A State Department of Park and Recreation temporary use
permit will be required.
6. State Department of Fish and Game is to be notified
immediately and their input shall be obtained by the
design consultant and any permits required by State
Department of Park and Recreation shall be obtained.
Also, State Fish and Game personnel are to be invited to
attend aeration pump test to be conducted by the
consultant.
7. Measures that address boating safety shall be incorporated
into the design/construction.
8. Monitoring of the aeration system effectiveness shall be
made during its operation and a report provided to LEMA.
Mr. Basham further explained that the fiscal impact to the City will be
staff time to administer the design and construction contracts, operation
cost through October, 1992, and removal/replacement costs.
Chairwoman Cherveny then called upon the persons who requested to speak on
this item:
Leon Strigotte, 216 Chaney Street, expressed his approval and urged the
installation of the Lake aeration system. He stated that if the City could
get a grip on the fish kill situation, then it would be a sure boost to the
local economy. He further stated that the fish kill damages the City image
and in turn hurts the local economy.
Dick Knapp, 29690 Dwan Drive, stated his objection to the Lake aeration
system due to the fact that the project would not be implemented until it
is too late. He questioned the spread of costs and inquired who would pay
for the hook up and maintenance after the installation. Mr. Knapp asked
why staff had not addressed this issue months earlier.
PAGE THREE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - AUGUST 11, 1992
Boardmember Winkler thanked staff and Mr. Laughlin from EVMWD for helping
with this issue. He further thanked all the other persons and agencies
involved.
Boardmember Washburn thanked all the members of LEMA and the Water District
for their support, assistance and approval. He stated that even if was not
extremely effective this year, it can be used over and over again and this
will help to prevent future problems.
Boardmember pominguez expressed his concern in regard to the City always
solving problems and suggested that there is an effective system that would
work as well or better then the Lake Aeration System being the well pumps.
He called on the State and City to energize the wells and return this
method used in the past to control the level of the water. He stressed
that this is the State's responsibility.
Boardmember Alongi stressed the fact that the Lake is the State's
responsibility and they should take care of this problem. He suggested
that the RDA money should be going into low income housing and other
appropriate items. He further stressed that the real total cost for this
project is $209,300. This does not include contingencies, electrical power
or the connection cost to Southern California Edison. Mr. Alongi asked how
much the fish are worth in the Lake. He would prefer to see the cost of
removal rather then the Aeration System.
Boardmember Washburn explained that this is a portable system which can be
removed and then replaced. This system is used in lakes that have a good
water supply to increase the amount of oxygen and is a benefit to any body
of water to improve quality.
Legal Counsel Harper stated that the 4/5ths vote is necessary to have
immediate bid. If the normal bid procedure is followed then it will
probably delay the project and make it too late to help this year.
Chairwoman Cherveny asked if this was $80,000 of RDA monies. Mr. Basham
explained that the $80,000 is a savings caused by the donation of the
aerators by Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District. She asked to clarify
the cost to RDA, which she understands to be $1,500 to $3,000 a month for
the electrical. She expressed her thanks for the cooperation between all
the agencies. She suggested that if the Aeration System is not in effect
for this year it will be available for next year and the following to
address the problem.
Boardmember Alongi asked Mr. Basham how long it will take the Aeration
System to take effect if it is installed. Mr. Basham stated that it will
be 1 to 3 weeks and within 30 days the system will be at peak efficiency.
Mr. Alongi then stated that he was not sure that the expenditure of the
funds would be worth a system that might not even work. He further
questioned the amount of money that the RDA would expend.
Boardmember pominguez explained that he will vote against this item because
it is a State problem and if the public wants him to support the project
then the public needs to call in and let him know that they want him to
make the City a responsible party.
Chairwoman Cherveny reviewed the project cost and requirements, and
explained that this is the way for the City to show their citizens that we
are willing to do something.
Boardmember Alongi explained that the City doesn't own the lake yet and
with the time necessary to get the system installed and in operation it
will be too late to do any good.

ITEM PULLED FROM CONSENT CALENDAR
3. Low & Moderate Income Housina - 20% Set Aside - Resolution No. RDA 92-9.
(F:87.1) - -
Boardmember Alongi questioned the housing statistics which represent the
- County. He stated that he feelz there is a moral obligation to the
resisdents of Lake Elsinore to produce low income units and moderate income
, units for the people that work here. Mr. Alongi explained that he would
like to see the City develop a program to address this and not to use the
houses we are abating as low income. He further explained that there are
homes that can be rehabilitated to meet the low to moderate income level.
Legal Counsel Harper explained that the Board needs to do one of two
things; either the Board makes these findings or the Board sets aside in a
separate account 20% of the Redevelopment Agency funds for the purpose of
constructing low and moderate income housing. Mr. Harper further explained
that what the findings do is to allow the City and Redevelopment Agency the
greatest flexibility in utilizing its money. It gives t6e Redevelopment
Agency the option to spend the money on low income and other things, and
, not be required to segerate the account and potentially not have to give
the funds back to another housing agency when the funds are not expended in
a timely fashion.
', Chairwoman Cherveny explained that this is to satisfy the State's
, Requirements for the Redevelopment Agency to avoid having to do the 20% set
! aside, however this does not preclude the City from setting up a special
j policy to address the low to moderate income housing.
i
~i Legal Counsel Harper explained that the one of the things that the City
I does now is require a developer that come into the City with a significant
project, to provide affordable units as a part of the development process
and there are other financing programs that are used as well.
' Executive Director Molendyk explained that this report satisfies the State
requirement necessary to complay and he further explained that he
understands the interest of the past and current Boards in providing low to
, moderate income housing. He also explained that the City does not have an
', adopted program. Mr. Molendyk stated that there might need to be a study
I to develop standards in order for the developers to know what to construct
in the older section of town.

', 6. Fish Removal = Los Angeles Commercial Fisherman's Association. (F:92.1)
Executive Director Molendyk explained that a concern of the Council and
'~ Redevelopment Agency has been the remov~l of the fish caused from fish
kill. He further explained that the Los Angeles Commercial Fisherman's
Association has offered to do the "test seine" at a cost to the Agency of
~I $ 2, 2 5 0. 0 0, an d Mr. Dawson has dona te d a boat for their use to help cut the
, cost.
l
,
PAGE THREE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 8, 1992
Special Projects Coordinator Basham advised that at the time of the report
he had not received final figures from Mr. Joe Cracchiolo and the figure of
$2,250 is accurate. He further advised that there are no commercial
fishermen who will move on this project until they know how many fish are
in the Lake, and the State has no idea. Depending on their findings, the
program would start next year and done on an annual contract basis to be
done throughout the year.
Boardmember pominguez asked if this would take care of the problem then why
is the aeration system necessary.
Executive Director Molendyk explained that in the past it was mentioned
that the fish should be utilized instead of just dying off. That is why
this program was investigated and pursued. He further explained that this
is the first positive step for utilization.
Boardmember pominguez stated that the time is now and that Mr. Basham
should continue this approach which he feels is preferred over the aeration
system.
Boardmember Washburn stated that there is a need for both systems, as it
takes three and one half weeks to install the aeration system and if there
is another heat wave it will be necessary.
Boardmember Alongi stated that the State will make no funds available and
will not even allow the use of thier boat for these tests and still the
people do not address the State , but rather scream at the Council to
resolve the problem. He feels that it would not be right to spend money
on a problem that the State should be addressing.
Chairman Cherveny asked if this was just for the feasibility testing. She
stated that she would like the Agency and the City to take some proactive
steps to resolve this problem.

Special Projects Coordinator Wood explained that financial aspects of the
PAGE TWO - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 22, 1992
project have been reviewed and financial aid in the area of off-site
improvements of Central and Collier is being requested. He further
explained that if an assessment district is placed to finance the off-site
improvements the tax increment produced from their property at build-out
will cover the debt service on that property. Mr. Wood explained that the
Board would have to pledge the money to the debt support which would not be
a contribution of cash to the applicant, but rather a pledge and the
applicant would have to make up the difference in the debt service should
they fall short until build-out.
I Executive Director Molendyk explained that the best way to finance this is
, - through the 1913/1915 Assessment District. He further explained that it
would be a benefit to the entire area to provide for proper traffic
circulation and signalization.

to Western Classics. The document has not beerr presented but that
' there will be no problem changing the name on the contract.
;
'~ Boardmember Alongi further reported that there were two other conditions
I already agreed upon. One was when the Western Classics releases any news
article that they would refer to themselves under their new name and the
~ other condition was that in the spirit of cooperation requested that their
committee not wear their green jackets at the rodeo grounds, because the
jackets do display their old name and the logo in question. He further
, explained that the committee is also considering $20,000 seed money as a
', loan to be paid back during the Sierra Circu~t program along with the
'I $5,000 rent of the rodeo grounds which would be from part of the seed money
paid for during the circuit for immediately after the event.

~i Boardmember Alongi clarified two points, one being if loan to Western

I was to rent the grounds for $5,000 or if the RDA wishes award a loan to the
' Chamber to upgrade the lighting at the Rodeo grounds.

il owners get involved. He further questioned ~he collateral of the loan made
for the Board.
Boardmember Alongi called for the Board to "bite the bullet" and make a
' decision. He further stated that he would ask the Board to approve his
', recommendation.
II Boardmember Washburn explained that there was a great deal of negotiation
I~ and advised that he felt the City could support two rodeos and he felt that
~! this is a good thing for the community. He expressed concern that other
' organizations may come to the Agency asking for seed money. Boardmember
il Washburn stressed that the agreement must be fair to all parties involved.
, The Chamber of Commerce agreed to the proposal in principal as presented by
Boardmember Alongi.
Chairwoman Cherveny asked if the Chamber is satisfied.
Tom Hundshamer, Chamber President stated that since all the conditions were
met the Chamber would be agreeable to rent the grounds to the City of Lake

~ Elsinore. He advised that the Chamber would like to receive the $5,000
rent and come back to the Agency with a request for a low interest loan for
, the lighting at a later date.
Marsha Bennett encouraged the Board to make an immediate decision.
, Chairwoman Cherveny asked Lega1 Counsel Harper if there is any problem with
, loaning the money. Counsel Harper stated that there was not.
' There was general discussion in regard to the agreement between Western
Classics, the City and the Chamber.
', Chairwoman Cherveny stated that the Chamber has passed a resolution of
, approval that they are in agreement with the terms. She further stated
, that she has been involved with both rodeo groups and she feels that there
is room for both.
Pam Johnson, Chief Financial Officer, Western Classics Productions,
explained the draft budget shows a net profit which is projected to be
approximately $23,600 after repayment of the $20,000 RDA loan and after the
payment of the $5,000 rental fee for the Rodeo grounds.
Chairwoman Cherveny clarified that the loan amount will be for $20,000 of
which $5,000 of the loan amount will be used for the rent of the grounds.
Ms. Johnson confirmed.
' Boardmember pominguez explained that he would move on this item for
, approval in concept only to be brought back to Council with supporting
I documentation.
, Boardmember Washburn explained that he would second the motion but would
like to see this item addressed before the next Council Meeting after the
staff reviews the budget for the event. He would also like to see further
supporting documentation.
Boardmember Alongi explained that he felt brining staff into this at this
late date would not be productive. He further explained that when the loan
documents are drawn up staff can review their back-up documentation. He
stressed that time is of the essence and there is advertisement which needs
to be addressed as soon as possible.

indicating the Board's willingness to proceed, the assumption that the
agreement between the two organizations is actually executed by the two
organizations, stating that you are willing ~to award a combination
$5,000/$20,000 loan that at the next regular Redevelopment Agency we have a
consent item of the agreement. If we are unable to get the signatures,
then the organization putting on the Rodeo, who has by that time spent some
of their own money and time is doing so at their own risk.

7HE GRAHAM STREET PARKING LOT.
Chairwoman Cherveny questioned the change orders on this project and
indicated that the Board discussions specifically indicated that there .
would be no change orders. Public Services Director Tecca clarified the
bid amounts and the contract requirements. He indicated that the only way
the contractors would accept the change to 31,000 per day liquidated
damages, was if they could also expect a 51,000 per day bonus for finishing
early.
Chairwoman Cherveny commented that she did not understand that to be part
of the contract.
Boardmember Alongi commented that while the bonus is legally correct, it
was specifically stated that there would be no change orders on the
project. He questioned the previous demolition project and whether some of
this project's change order cost was due to the demolition not being
complete. Public Services Tecca indicated that these items are addressed
by the 20% contingency approved for the contract.

though he understands contingencies.
Exec~tive Director Molendyk requested further clarification of the change
orders. Public Services Director Tecca explained the changes.

questioned the previous demolition on this site. He suggested that the

removal. Community Development Manager Shear confirmed that inspection did
occur as the removal was accomplished. He indicated that the slab, etc.
found during this project were apparently from an even older structure at
that site. Boardmember Alongi inquired whether Mr. Shear had inspected the
slab. Mr. Shear indicated he had and it was approximately 18" below the
existing grade. Mr. Tecca further clarified the change order:
Boardmember Washburn commented for public information that a nest of old
horseshoes had also been found on this site from the former uses of the

PAGE FOUR - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - OLTOBER 13, 1992
Chairwoman Cherveny questioned whether the EVMWD payment was 5700,000. Mr.
Tecca explained that EVMWD was responsible for only about 555,000 of that
' cost. He further explained the cost increases due to time and project
changes. He indicated that the time frame was increased from 110 days to
264 days.
Matt Webb, addressed the major delays and increased costs for this project,
including Department of Fish & Game permit requirements, etc.
~ , Chairwoman Cherveny further questioned the process and the impact of Water

', 9. Amber Ridae Sewer Studv.
Boardmember Alongi requested that the Redeveiopment Agency Board continue
this item because there were not enough facts available for him to make a
decision.
Boardmember Winkler commented that the report concludes the Redevelopment
, Agency can legally fund the project; and without the sewer main and
' laterals there is no hope for the residents in the Amber Ridge tract. He
' further commented that Boardmember Kelley and the staff of Elsinore Valley
, Municipal Water District are currently }ooking at loan potentials to fund
the project. Mr. Winkler suggested that the homeowners may not have to pay
back loans since it is a matter of public health and safety and the sewer
I lateral connection can be placed as a lien which will reimburse E.V.M.W.D.
' at the time of the sale of the home. He explained that this will be on the
E.Y.M.W.D. Agenda for the 28th, and if E.V.M.W.D. does not agree to
', allowing Amber Ridge without pay on the sewer main and laterals due to
', costs, then it is justified the use R.D.A. funds to assist. Mr. Winkler
' stated that the potential for pollution of the lake and homes being boarded
up creates crime problems and decreases the property value of all the
, homeowners. He further stated that this is a unique situation, but the
', Board has addressed other unique situations such as the Downtown area. He
' also stated that this would save a neighborhood and benefit all the
surrounding property ewners. He asked that a date specific be set when the
item is continued possibly a special Council Meeting on October 29, at 4:00
p.m. This would allow the Board to consider the issue as soon as possible.
Gary Kelley commented that even if only a few families have problems in a
, tract the whole tract has a problem. He further commented that in his
, tract eight years ago there were similar problems and it is a real burden.
', He stated that he would like to see sewer mains and laterals to the curbs.
~ Mr. Kelley also stated that due to the drought it has made the ground more

absorbent, however if excessive rain is received this year, it will
compound the problem.
Bob Hildebrant, resident of North Pennsylvania Street, requested help from
the Redevelopment Agency to solve his sewer problems.
Janice Fielding, 158 N. Pennsylvania, stated that she was in favor of using
R.D.A. funds to assist the installation of sewer. She further stated that
due to the failure of the septic systems in the Amber Ridge tract, they
could be considered a blighted area and qual;fy the tract for assistance
from R.D.A.
Betty Martin, 159 N. Woodlake, explained that she has had several problems
with her septic system and must have the tank pumped four times a year and
she cannot sell her home due to required disclosures. She also cortenented
that.this has caused bacteria in their water system.
Wayne John, stated that the previous Sunday their septic system backed up
into their home and caused $6,000 in damage. He further explained that he
has lived in his home for the last eight years and has had ongoing
problems.
Karen Snyder, 150 N. Pennsylvania Street, asked the Board to use R.D.A.
funds to assist in installing sewer in the Amber Ridge tract. She detailed
the problems that have been experienced by the tract from failures of the
septic systems.
Chairwoman Cherveny stated her sympathy with with problems experienced by
the residents of the Amber Ridge tract. She commented that she objected to
payment for the consultants report, due to its inefficiency of the report
and its variation from the scope of services. She further stated that she
would not base her opinions on the findings in the report because the facts
are at least three years old and contact was not made with the current
property owners to evaluate the current problems.
Boardmember Alongi expressed his dissatisfaction with the report as well
and explained that he could not base a decision on the information
presented. He clarified appropriate uses of R.D.A. monies.
Boardmember Washburn stated that he was in favor of the motion and that
Legal Council Harper made the finding that this area qualified for R.D.A.
funding.
Legal Counsel Harper explained that after review of the report and meeting
with the consultant who indicated that there was strong potential of having
adverse impacts on adjacent project areas that is sufficient to make a
finding that it is of benefit to the project area to assist with project
area funds.
Councilman Winkler explained that he does not want to make a decision until
Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District has their Board Meeting and the
R.D.A. has their input in order to be better informed.
Bill Green, Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates, explained that there
has been a substantial amount of work that was done by his company. He
further explained that they did go to the Health Department and acquired a
study done three years a9o as well as doing a random survey of the Amber
Ridge tract. He further explained that there has been a phone survey, as
well as being on site as you can see by the pictures. He stated that he
will be available for questions at the meeting of October 29th.
Boardmember Alongi stated that he needed clarification in regard to the use
of Redevelopment Funds in regard to this problem and how much this project
will cost to resolve the problems.

$s76,3s3.72 in tax increment and sales tax that the City
has received in addition to the public improvements which
cost $1,856.314. He also detailed the employment that K-
Mart has brought to the community. Mr. O'Byrne explained
the Phase II project and advised that there will be a
theater, auto parts store and various other shops.
MOVED BY WASHBURN, SECONDED BY WINKLER A SUBSIDIARY MOTION TO
SEND THIS ITEM BACK THROUGH THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT TO DEVELOP
A TAX INCREMENT PACKAGE WHICH COULD BE PLEDGED TO THE SITE FOR
THE FINANCING OF THE PROJECT, WITH THE ITEM TO BE RETURNED TO
THE AGENCY AFTER THE PACKAGE IS COMPLETE. (MOTION AMENDED AND
APPROVED LATER IN THE MEETING.)
Legal Counsel Harper asked Boardmember Washburn if the tax
increment being discussed would be from Phase II or the
entire project. Boardmember Washburn suggested that it be
from the entire project. Mr. Harper explained that the
tax increment bonds are pledged for repayment of debt,
which is pledged from the Phase I.
Chairwoman Cherveny commented that Boardmember Winkler had
requested, a review of the Redevelopment Agency Budget at
the next study session and suggested that this information
would be pertinent to a decision on this item.
PAGE THREE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - NOVEMBER 10, 1992
Mr. O'Byrne clarified that time is of the essence in that
he has a 90 day contract with the theater which was
submitted in August and near expiration. He expressed
concern that further study would cause the time frame to
go beyond the contract time.
Boardmember Washburn explained that he did not want to see
the Board delay progress of this project, but did want to
have the financial answers. He suggested conoeptual
approval.
Mr. O~Byrne stated that this financing is a requirement of
the lender in order to make the project a reality. He
further stated that neither project can stand alone, both
projects have been planned to support each other, because
the project was phased for economic purposes.
Boardmember Alongi commented that all projects must be
looked at as an investment. He further commented that he
personally needs the extra time to study this investment.
Boardmember Washburn stated that he felt that the pro~ect
is viable and has the commitments and he would not like to
see us loose the ability to have that theater. He further
discussed the ability for the project to be defined
financially.
Chairwoman Cherveny stated that she would like to see the
financial package reworked and that the existing loan be
brought current to facilitate future lending. She further
stated that this project was not identified in the current
Redevelopment Agency Budc}et.
Boardmember pominguez commented that the Agency is
addressing a priority for the community at this time and
supported acting on this project to address those needs.
of the community. He suggested that due to the time
schedule Mr. O'Byrne is on the project be approved in
concept and brought back to Council for further approval.
Boardmember Alongi stated that there are a lot of
priorities to be considered and he felt that he needed the
opportunity to review all the project more completely and
see where the funding is and what is available.
Boardmember Winkler questioned the last paraqraph of the
Petition for Financial Assistance and stated that it does
not define Tax Increment or sales tax. Mr. Winkler
questioned Legal Counsel Harper regarding the tax
increment for debt repayment for Phase I. Legal Counsel
Harper explained that the tax increment from K-Mart is
pledged to debt repayment.
Boardmember Winkler further questioned the current budget
and if this project can be included in it. He also
questioned if this analysis can even play a part in this
project. Lega1 Counsel Harper explained that it can be
used only to contemplate funds prior to receipt for
payment. Mr. Harper further explained that if you look at
the annual tax increment/sales tax and multiply it by ten
it is roughly the amount of overall bonds that the debt
service will support. He further explained that $25,000
in tax increment is going to be more or less $250,000 in
potential debt.
PAGE FOUR - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - NOVEMBER 10, 1992
Boardmember Winkler asked what kind of effect this would
have on the tax increment of the properties around it and
does this increase the value of properties. Mr. Boone
stated that this could increase the value of the
surrounding properties and stir other development.
Legal Counsel Harper explained that if the Board accepts
the premise that this is a break even project over the
twenty years, the question then becomes how to you fund
the front end.
Boardmember Winkler inquired if Mr. O'Byrne anticipated
any additional funding beside the up front money
requested. Mr. O'Byrne explained that he does not because
he has a lender for financing, but the assistance will be
for off-sites. He further explained the cost of these
improvements and the impact on the future development that
will occur.
Legal Counsel Harper explained that if the Board felt
comfortable with a break even project and Mr. O'Byrne felt
comfortable without the up front money from the 1992/1993
budget it could be approved on that basis, however, if the
Board chose to do that, it could be structured so that
it would potentially accomplish those things. However, if
it never penciled out and it couldn~t be done, then the
approval tonight doesn't mean much. He further stated
that it sounds as if the potential for financing is a
little different than Mr. Wood thought in his initial
Staff Report. Mr. Harper stated that perhaps with the
developer's cooperation there is a way of funding it which
would not directly impact the 1992/93 budget. If this
project is conditioned on having no impact on the 1992/93
budget then Counsel can sit down with Mr. O'Byrne and try
and structure it that way. If it can't be then there is
no deal anyway, if it can be done, then it sounds like it
solves both the Board's and Mr.- O'Byrne~s problems.
MOVED BY WASHBURN, SECONDED BY WINKLER AND CARRIED BY A VOTE
OF 3 TO 2 WITH ALONGI AND CHERVENY CASTING THE DISSENTING VOTE
TO AMEND THE SUBSIDIARY MOTION TO SEND THIS ITEM BACK THROUGH
THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT FOR A RESTRUCTURE OF THE TAX INCREMENT
PACKAGE TO PLEDGE TO THE SITE FOR THE FINANCING OF THE
PROJECT, TO BE RETURNED TO THE AGENCY AFTER THE PACKAGE IS
REVIEWED BY STAFF AND TWO MEMBERS -0F THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY.
Chairwoman Cherveny explained that her preference would be
to have Administrative Services Director Boone put
something together and then bring it back to the Board.
Boardmember Winkler stated that he will vote for this in
concept for Mr. Boone to come back to the two of us and
hash it out and then bring it to the Board for a decision.
Boardmember Alonqi asked where the increment was going to
come from and with Chairwoman Cherveny and Boardmember
Winkler sitting in on the committee, how would they make
the program more understandable for the rest of the Board.
Legal Counsel Harper stated that from staff's point of
view, if the direction is that the project as presented is
O.K. in terms of the project itself and you are directing
staff to sit down with the developer and try and structure
it in a way which one will have no impact or minimal
PAGE FIVE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - NOVEMBER 10, 1992
8.
impact on the 1992/93 RDA Budget and will be at least a
break even project, then staff can proceed, and that's
the direction that needed from the Agency and staff can
come back with an indication of whether it works or it
doesn~t.
Boardmember Alongi stated that the Agency Members need to
get together and hammer out some of the points on this
project, as each member has different interests.
Legal Counsel Harper explained that staff will do its
best to bring the numbers to the sub-committee following
the 1:30 p.m. meeting on November 17th on financing.
Mr. O'Byrne requested clarification of the decision of
Council in regard to financing.
Legal Counsel Harper explained that the difficulty which
has been discussed is that, not withstanding Mr.
O'Byrne's recollections regarding Phase I and Phase II
ultimately being all of one thing, there is the RDA
budget including debt service and City budget including
sales tax generated by K-Mart has spent money. In'order
to count that toward Phase II which the City can do, cuts
would have to be made in both of those budqets to
accomplish it.
Chairwoman Cherveny stated that perhaps it would be wise
for both of the Boardmembers to make it all of one phase.
She further stated that she thought it was two separate
projects, but might be l~oked at as one.
Boardmember Alongi asked when this would be coming back
to the Agency. Boardmember Winkler stated that it would
be at the next meeting.
Boardmember Washburn stated that his interpretation would
be that the applicant would work with staff and look at
all avenues.
- Franklin/Heald/Ellis. (F:87:1)
Executive Director Molendyk explained this item and
detailed the estimated costs. He clarified that this
assistance is intended to assist the applicant in
obtaining construction financing.
MOVED BY ALONGI, SECONDED BY WASHBURN TO APPROVE THE
PARTICIPATION AS REQUESTED, SUBJECT TO LAGUNA NUEVA OBTAINING
CONSTRUCTION FINANCING, WITH A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO BE
BROUGHT BACK FOR APPROVAL UPON FINALIZATION OF CONSTRUCTION

Boardmember Washburn commented that the applicant and land
owner have been working on this project for some time and
have assisted in nuisance abatement process. He suggested
that when the CC &'R's are prepared there be a
contemplation of a clause to control the future sale and
rental potential. The applicant indicated that this
request could be accommodated.
~
Boardmember Alongi concurred with the comments of
Boardmember Washburn and suggested that a commitmen~ of
PAGE SIX - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - NOVEMBER 10, 1992
' a set number of years prior to sales or rental should be
, adequate. He requested a rendering of the project to show
, the conversion from 18 units to 14 units. Sam Jiron,

Executive Director Molendyk explained that this item was
continued from November 10, 1992, to allow for further
discussion. He gave an overview of the status of the project
and stated that in order to make the project work in accordance
; with the desires of the Developer and Agency the developer is
asking for a grant of $250,000 toward on-site improvements and
up to $600,000 for off site improvements. Also, because of the
rental structure of the theater, it is requested that
consideration be given for tax increment and sales tax from
Phase II over a period of 20 years in the amount of
approximately $82,000. He further stated that Mr. O'Byrne is
present to answer any questions.
' MOVED BY ALONGI, SECONDED BY CHERVENY TO DENY THE GRANT, FINANCING
' DUE TO CONSTRAINTS IN BUDGETING AT THIS TIME.
Boardmember Winkler gave a brief re-cap of the meetings he had
in regard to a theater being built on the corner of Malaga and
Mission Trail by Camelot Properties and the benefit that he
felt that it would give to the community. He stated that this
is something that is desired by the community and he felt that
it was time, the project was firm and would bring an economical
advantage to this area of the community. Mr. Winkler further
stated that if the City could have a site specific agreement
and the ability not to strain the budget for the next two years
that the project would work.
~
' Mr. 0'Byrne, President of Camelot Properties, assured the Board
that he could work out the details as long as he could give
~ assurance to his lender.
PAGE THREE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - NOVEMBER 24, 1992
Boardmember Winkler then addressed the off-site improvements
and questioned the amount of funds necessary to accomplish the
off-sites.~
Executive Director Molendyk clarified the cost based upon Mr.
O'Byrne's presentation at the last meeting. He further
discussed the potential need for a traffic light and
improvements to the intersection of Malaga and Mission Trail
and the fact that half of the street is in the County.
' Boardmember Winkler further addressed the advantage of the
, potential baseball stadium and theater being in the same
vicinity.
Boardmember Winkler then made a subsidiary motion as follows:
MOVED BY WINKLER, SECONDED BY DOMINGUEZ TO APPROVE THE CONCEPT TO
GUARANTEE 5ITE SPECIFIC FUNDING FROM PHASE II, TO GUARANTEE $82,000
' PER YEAR WITH THE GRANT NOT PAYABLE THIS OR NEXT BUDGET YEAR AND
' THE AGENCY PROVIDE MINIMUM IMPROVEMENTS ON MALAGA.
Mr. O'Byrne assured the Board that he could work within the
parameters of the motion.
Executive Director Molendyk asked for clarification in regard
to the amount of money to be spent on off-sites. Boardmember
Winkler stated that it would be for the minimum amount.
Public Services Director Tecca explained that he would need to
know the kind of impacts that would be incurred by seeing a
site plan and traffic impact analysis. He would also at that
time be able to see if signalization is required for the
project. Mr. Tecca further explained that if there was no
access on Malaga then a traffic signal on Malaga/Mission Trail
intersection would not be necessary at this time.
Boardmember Washburn concurred with Boardmember Winkler in his
, opinion that the community wants a theater and that this is a
priority item.
I Boardmember pominguez explained that he was in favor of the
' project.
' Boardmember Alongi stated that he felt that there was a
potential theater presented by Rancon and he did not feel
that the Malaga/Mission Trail site was to the City's
' advantage. He further stated his disagreement with a break-
even project and stated that the Rancon site would be just as
economically wise. Mr. Alongi further explained that he felt
that the assistance requested by Mr. O'Byrne was too costly
and that the Rancon site would be less expensive for the City
, and bring in more sale tax.
' Chairwoman Cherveny explained that she favored the Rancon site
' because they will be operating with a CFD and will cost the
. City less in the long run.
Boardmember Alongi explained that Community Facilities
Districts are not Redevelopment Agency funds and that this
project would better pay for itself and further stated his
opposition to the project proposed by Camelot Properties.
Chairwoman Cherveny explained that she felt that this project
was not as well located as the Rancon Project and that the
Malaga/Mission Trail site was too congested. She further
, explained that she felt that the loss of tax increment and
' sales tax for that area were too great and that she favored
I the Central/Collier site for the lack of congestion and

Accessibility. She further stressed her concern over the
' financial difficulties that could be incurred in regard to
~'` this propo~ed project.
I Boardmember Washburn explained his concept of the Agency's
' role in the economic development of the community.
Boardmember Winkler further clarified the tax increment that
' would be qiven to Rancon and stated that in the long run it
would be more expensive than the Camelot Properties proposal.
Boardmember Alongi then made a subsidiary motion as follows:
MOVED BY ALONGI, SECONDED BY WINKLER AND CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE
I TO VOTE ON THE QUESTION CALLED FOR IN REGARD TO THE ORIGINAL
' SUBSIDIARY MOTION.
Chairwoman Cherveny asked for clarification of the motion made
by Mr. Winkler.
' Boardmember Winkler amended his motion with the concurrence of
~I Boardmember pominguez to add a period of 20 years to the
, guarantee of the $82,000.
! Chairwoman Cherveny called for the question as follows:

~ Executive Director Molendyk explained that this item had been
i before the Board and was being brought back for consideration
' by the Board. He advised that Mr. Basham was available to
j answer any questions, and Mr.Molendyk explained that the staff
i has presented some financial alternatives for Board Members
consideration.
MOVED BY ALONGI, SECONDED BY CHERVENY TO ACCEPT PROPOSAL "C" WITH
' COST PER HOME NOT TO EXCEED $4,000. PROPOSAL "C" READS AS FOLLOWS:
TO LOAN OR GRANT FUNDS T,O REPLACE THE EXISTING SEPTIC SYSTEMS IN AN
ESTIMATED 17 HOMES OR 8.8~ OF THE 194 HOMES. THIS NUMBER WAS
' DERIVED FROM THE RESPONSES OF 110 HOMES CONTACTED IN THE RBF SURVEY
' WHO EXPRESSED PROBLEMS WITH THEIR EXISTING SEPTIC SYSTEMS AND RATED
' THEM AS "POOR" SYSTEMS. A COMMITMENT OF $119,510 WILL REPLACE 17
SEPTIC SYSTEMS AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $7030 EACH. ALTHOUGH 15
HOMEOWNERS INDICATED THAT THEY REPLACED THEIR FAILING 5EPTIC
SYSTEMS AND HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY NEW PROBLEMS, THERE CANNOT BE
A GUARANTEE THAT THIS METHOD WILL BE SUCCESSFUL FOR ALL HOMES.
Boardmember Winkler expressed concern with proposal "C" due to
the fact that there is no way of knowing how many homes will
be affected in the future and the problems can escalate. He
further stated that he does not see this as a solution. Mr.
Winkler explained that this problem does have a direct impact
on the quality of the neighborhood and crime problems and
needs to be addressed. He further stated that he felt it was
a necessity to construct the sewer mains and laterals in order
to maintain the quality and standard of living which should be
in that tract and felt that 3"A" was the solution. Mr.
Winkler explained that he would vote no on "C" because of the
need for sewer and once the system is avai.lable the City
should enforce the health codes to make residents go on sewer.
PAGE FIVE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - NOVEMBER 24, 1992
A SUBSIDIARY MOTION MOVED BY WINKLER, SECONDED BY WASHBURN TO
APPROVE PROPOSA~ 3"A" WHICH READS: GUARANTEE REPAYMENT FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF THE SEWER MAINS AND LATERALS WITHIN THE PUBLIC
RIGHT OF WAY. TAE AGENCY WILL COMMIT APPROXIMATELY $47,051
ANNUALLY FOR 20 YEARS TO RETIRE THE EVMWD'S $700,000, 3~ LOW
INTEREST LOAN. THE INDIVIDUAL HOMEOWNERS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
CONNECTION TO THE SEWER, INCLUDING THE $3500 EVMWD SEWER CONNECTION
FEE (WHICH THE DISTRICT MAY ACCEPT AS A LIEN ON THE PROPERTY) AND
THE ESTIMATED COSTS OF $2600 TO CONSTRUCT THE LATERAL BETWEEN THE
STREET RIGHT OF WAY AND THE HOUSE (INCLUDING THE BACKFILLING OF THE
EXISTING SEPTIC TANK/PIT).
Boardmember Alongi responded to Boardmember winkler's comments
by explaining that the residents have the responsibility to
install sewer and laterals, and not the City. He further
stated that there is no guarantee that any of the residents
will hook up. Mr. Alongi explained that the septic systems
fail because they are not maintained correctl.y or because they
are not installed correctly. In other areas, because of the
water table, the residents are installinq their own sewer
lines due to problems and others going on stand by. He
further asked who would be responsible for destroying the
septic tanks and the hook-up from the lateral to the home. Mr.
Alongi stated that installing the sewer lines is only
addressing half of the problems. After the City spends the
money there is no guarantee that the lines will be used and
the City has then spent the money for nothing. Mr. Alongi
further explained that he has gone to three or four Water
District meetings and not one person from Amber Ridge showed
up, yet they present themselves here for our attention. He
questioned why they were not at the Water District.
Chairwoman Cherveny explained that she had some requests to
address the Board.
Gary Kelly, 224 Ohio Street, explained that the residents of
Amber Ridge have approached the Water District and have
submitted several documents to the District. He further
explained that the density and drought is a factor in the
problem due to the fact that the homes are built on decomposed
granite. He further addressed the gray water from the White
Oak Tract which now affects all the tract from their site to
the Lake. Mr. Kelly stated that the Health and Safety factors
can only be mitigated through the $47,000 a year.
Boardmember Alongi asked Mr. Kelly why the Water District
doesn't put the lines in and the City pay for the hook-ups.
Mr. Kelly explained that the Water District has only agreed to
apply for the 3~ loan. Mr. Alongi stated that he felt that
the Water District should assume their responsibility in
regard to the sewer.
Boardmember pominguez explained that this matter addresses the
public right-of-way and that unless the City could get the 3~
loan there should not be a commitment. He further questioned
the septic systems.
There was general discussion in regard to septic systems and
their operation verses sewer lines and their costs.
Boardmember pominguez questioned the spending of money on
private property. Boardmember Alongi explained that this is
a trust deed loan through the Redevelopment Agency to correct
the problems. Mr. Dominguez further stated that he would like
to know exactly how many homeownezs will need the assistance.

Boardmember Winkler stated it would be determined through
questionnaires.
~
' Chairwoman Cherveny questioned Mr. Kelly in regard to the
amount of research'the Water District Committee did prior to
making their decision in regard to Amber Ridge problems. Mr.
Kelly stated that their decision was based on the survey done
by the City that his committee felt that the survey done by
the City was adequate. He further explained that he kaew how
, many residents would hook up to the system.
' Chairwoman Cherveny explained that one of her concerns is that
~ the City would be responsible for the 3~ loan and that there
' is no guarantee that when their court cases are complete that
', the City will be reimbursed.
Boardmember Washburn explained that his concern that the
septic systems would work for a while, but because of the high
content of clay in the soils in that area it would not be the
permanent answer. He further stated that there have been a
', number of health problems in that area for a number of years.
', Mr. Washburn further explained that he felt that it was a
I moral obligation to help solve the problems and further hopes
that the Water District step forward to assist. He further
~ stated that he would support 3"A" and not 3"C".
' Boardmember Alongi expressed his desire to see •the Water
District participate in a more active manner. He further
addressed the needs and manner in which the septic system
, works.
Chairwoman Cherveny objected to sending $47,051 to EVMWD to
secure a 3~ loan which we may or may not get at this point and
she feels that the City should go direct to the resident to
solve the problem. She further stated that the City is not in
the sewer business and that it is the responsibility of EVMWD
to address the situation. Mrs. Cherveny further stated that
the reason the people are appealing to the City is because she
feel that the Water District was unwilling to listen or assist
those residents.
THE MOTION MADE BY ALONGI AND SECONDED BY CHERVENY TO APPROVE 3"C"
WAS DENIED BY A 2-3 VOTE WITH DOMINGUEZ, WASHBURN, AND WINKLER
CASTING THE DISSENTING VOTES.
Chairwoman Cherveny explained that over a 20 year period that
the amount that would be expended would be $941,028 which she
felt was the obligation of the Water District. She further
stated that the residents of Amber Ridge have advised her that
they don't feel that the study is accurate and she is in doubt
as to how the Board can make a decision without all the facts.
' Boardmember Alongi addressed 3"D" and stated that in that
' recommendation staff asked that no action be taken and to
bring the matter back to the board following formal action by
I EVMWD based upon the recommendation of their two man
committee. He further stated that Mr. Kelly and Mr. Jeffries
from EVMWD need to address this with their finding to their
board.
Boardmember pominguez stated that he felt that this should be
addressed as a health hazard. He further explained that he
felt that the reimbursement to the City should come from the
compensations of the law suits to repay the 3~ loan. Mr.
Dominguez further stated tha~ he would like the exact number
of people who would hook-up.
PAGE SEVEN - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - NOVEMBER 24, 1992
MOVED BY CHERVENY, SECONDED BY ALONGI AS A SUBSIDIARY MOTION TO
APPROVE PROPOSA~ "D" WHICH READS: DIRECT STAFF TO TAKE NO ACTION
AT THIS TIME ON FINANCIAL ALTERNATIVES AND BRING TAIS MATTER BACK
TO THE BOARD FOLLOWING FORMAL ACTION BY EVMWD BASED UPON THE
RECOMMENDATION OF THEIR TWO MAN COMMITTEE.
' Boardmember Winkler addressed 3"A" and explained that he did
not feel that we would find out how many would hook-up
immediately, but at the time of re-sale the home would have to
be put on sewer. He further stated that he had hoped that the
law suit that the residents filed would resolve the problems,
but it did not, and there is no way we can use the proceeds
' from the law suit to make reimbursement. He felt that this is
', a good resolution and the entire amount of funds does not need
', to be produced at one time, but rather be spread out over a
period of time.
Chairwoman Cherveny stated that a concern she has is that the
Amber Ridge residents didn't stress their concerns at the
' EVMWD meetinqs as they do with the City and the Agency.
Tony Gilenson, 151 Torn Ranch Road, explained that for the
first six years that Amber Ridge residents did go back and
forth with the Water District and received no cooperation and
had no other recourse but to appeal to the City for
assistance.
Boardmember Alongi expressed his concerns regarding the debts
incurred by the different Redevelopment Agency loans and he
' felt that there should be an assessment district formed and
' low interest loans given to those people who need the
assistance for septic systems.
Boardmember Washburn explained that Amber Ridge was the last
major subdivision that was allowed to go on septic. All the
rest were required to be on sewer.
Boardmember pominguez asked that Chairwoman Cherveny amend her
subsidiary motion to include the potential of a sewer
assessment district and that the compensation from the law
suit be included in whatever the City decides and would like
' a number of how many homes would hook-up.
', Chairwoman Cherveny amended her motion with Boardmember Alongi
in concurrence to read as follows:

PAGE TWO - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - DECEMBER 8~ 1992
', Boardmember Washburn requested the finding for denial of this
project and explained that the financial standing of the
, project and a review of priorities has indicated that
reconsideration of this financial assistance may be
appropriate.
Boardmember Washburn stated that he felt that this was a
priority when the Board voted on it last time and should be
considered.
Chairwoman Cherveny*p958Xa~1 Counsel Aarper to address the
issue. Legal Counsel Harper suggested that the applicantbe
given the opportunity to speak. He explained that the Board
was served with a lawsuit filed on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank
in which the Redevelopment Agency is a defendant, as well as
Camelot Properties. The lawsuit involves foreclosinq on the
underlying ground lease which is the subject of the K-Mart
property and the proposed project. Mr. Harper questioned the
', ability of the Board to legitimately enter into an agreement
', with an owner who potentially may not have clear title to the
property.
Boardmember Winkler explained that the litigation has caused
him to have some questions and concerns in regard to the
project.
Boardmember Washburn clarified that this does not preclude the
applicant from returning to the Board once the issue is
settled.
Legal Counsel Harper explained that once Camelot Properties
has resolved the problem and has clear title to the property,
then they or another entity can come forward to the Agency
with a new proposal. Boardmember Washburn asked if the item
could be tabled until the problem is resolved. Mr. Harper
stated that at the November meeting the project was approved
in concept and he felt that circumstances can change by the
time the developer comes forward again and can alter what a
future project may need. He further explained that the Agency
will want to review the credit worthiness of the developer
pending this litigation and that might have an effect upon
future decisions since the Agency would have to be assured
that Camelot Properties would be able to meet the payments for
financial assistance from the Agency.
Leonard O'Byrne, President of Camelot Properties explained
that the foreclosure is not on the K-Mart property, it is on
the 4 acres on the Malaga side and the problem is caused by a
Subdivision Map Act requirement which had not been resolved by
Mr. DePasquale and therefore the Assessors Parcels are not
legal. He further explained that when he entered into a
Development Agreement with K-Mart, part of that Agreement was
to re-do the Parcel Map and they let time run out and the
Final Parcel Map was never recorded to comply with the Map
Act. Mr. O'Byrne explained that he found this out when he
pursued financing for the new project. He further explained
that under the Community Redevelopment Act he has proceeded
correctly and further explained that he is current with the
existing loan as was agreed with Chairwoman Cherveny. Mr.
O'Byrne explained that he has compared the Rancon development
with his development and his company is entitled to equal
protection under the law. He indicated that the litigation
PAGE TAREE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTE3 - DECEMBER 8~ 1992
with Wells Fargo is the only way to resolve the conveyance of
the property and get the map filed.
Legal Counsel Harper asked Mr. O~Byrne how long he had been
aware of the map act problem. Mr. O'Byrne explained that he
has been working on it since early in the year. Mr. Harper
asked why a revised map. Mr. O'Byrne explained that under the
development agreement with K-Mart they must make them do it in
order to proceed with financing. Mr. Harper asked why the
City was not approached with the problem and why a revised
parcel map was not recorded or a certificate of compliance was
not obtained as these could have been addressed under the map
act.
Boardmember pominguez asked for clarification from Legal
Counsel in regard to not acting on this project due to the
circumstances. Legal Counsel Harper explained that the Board
puts the Agency in a form of jeopardy by executing a
development agreement agreeing to.provide assistance to a
developer who is in the process of judiciously being
foreclosed upon.
Chairwoman Cherveny asked Administrative Services Director
Boone if the December payment had been made by Camelot
Properties. Mr. Boone advised that billings would be sent.

MOVED BY WINKLER, SECONDED BY DOMINGUEZ TO DENY FINANCIAL
ASSISTANCE OF $265,000 TO LAGUNA NUEVA DURING 1992-93 AND CONSIDER
REIMBURSEMENT OF THE COST OF DEMOLITION BEING APPROXIMATELY
$10,000.
Boardmember Winkler questioned the $50,000 for demolition and
asked for olarification. Executive Director Molendyk
explained that staff felt that at the time the buildings were
demolished there was an indication to proceed and there miqht
be a consideration by the Board at least for the demolition
costs. Mr. Winkler asked if the demolition had already been
done with all the,proper notification. Legal Counsel Harper
explained that the demolition had been done with the
cooperation of the property owner. Mr. Winkler further asked
if the applicant had the option of remodeling. Boardmember
Alongi stated yes.,
Boardmember Alongi explained that he felt the City had an
obligation to honor its commitment and to protect the
integrity of the City's word. He expressed his resentment of
the cuts in the budget, He further explained that the
applicant could have rehabilitated the units, but demolished
them at the advise of the City. Mr. Alongi cautioned the
Board that they must stand by their vote whether it is right
or wrong and indicated that he felt this action would be
PAGE FOUR - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - DECEMBER 8~ 1992
' unfair, unjust and immoral to withdraw the funds from this
project after the City has committed. He made suggestions for
a reallocation of funds from the outflow channel, Mission
Trail project; the rehabilitation of the hotel and the
' rehabilitation of the Church as these funds are not needed
' right at this time.
~
, Boardmember Winkler explained that this project was addressed
only one month ago and it was going to come back to the Board
with the various concerns of the project. He further stated
that he would consider the cost of demolition that was made on
the recommendation of City staff to benefit the community. He
questioned low income housing in an area where there is a high
crime rate and if it is wise to promote more of this type of
I housing.
', Tom Hundshamer, Lake Elsinore Valley Chamber of Commerce,
, expressed his objection to restructuring the Agency budget to
I fund a baseball field. He further stated that the City should
uphold and honor their commitments to preserve the integrity
of the City.
' Sam Jiron, Laguna Nueva representative, expressed his
displeasure of the reconsideration of this project.
Boardmember Alongi explained that he felt that this low income
', housing was necessary and he worked with Mr. Jiron to develop
i affordable housing and to improve the area. He further
i explained that he felt that a sports stadium should not be a
j priority over homes. Mr. Alongi stated that Mr. Jiron trusted
' the word:of the Agency when his project was given a 5-0 vote
' and the Agency should stand behind their word suggesting that
money can be found in the Agency Budget to cover this item.
Boardmember Washburn clarified portions of this item and
explained that he is not opposed to quality low income housing
to improve the area, but since there is a need for a
relocation of funds this item needed to be reconsidered.
~ Boardmember Alongi explained that low income housing is not
necessarily future slums. He further explained that homes can
', be built for persons who cannot qualify for other tracts. Mr.
', Alongi stated that the Lake is the number one priority and the
', next should be affordable housing.
Boardmember Winkler reviewed the low income housing and
availability of the funds from the budget and the development
agreement that would accompany this project would have to be
' closely reviewed before he would approve it and he further
explained that he felt that there was more than enough low
income housing within the City. Mr. Winkler stated that in
each development agreement low income housing is provided for
and he felt that it was adequate to address the needs of the
community.
, Boardmember Alongi discussed the project and explained the
sequence of events that led to the presentation and decision
', of this project. He further expressed the problem with low
I income housing and his opinion that there is more needed.

PAGE FIVE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - DECEMBER 8~ 1992
3. Revise Budaet/Redevelobment Aaency 1992-93. (F:30.1)
Boardmember Winkler explained that in review of the present
budget the Church was not included within the current budget
and there is no need for an expenditure of the funds on that
item at this time. He further explained that he felt that
there was no need to take action on the proposed budget as
presented.
There was general discussion in reqard to the current and
revised budget and the adjustments that are necessary.
Executive Director Molendyk explained that there is a budget
adjustment of $550,000 if the board desires and is outlined in
the revised budget of October 13, 1992 in order to move
forward on the stadium.
Boardmember Washburn asked that the motion include verbiage
for staff to review utilization of the church building for
cultural and organizational activities until the building goes
into the renovation phase.
Chairwoman Cherveny asked that the motion include verbiage to
retain funds for the Ambassador Hotel until January 1, 1993
only.
Boardmember Alongi criticized the Board for their decision to
change the budget after there were several study sessions. He
further expressed his disfavor with the reallocation of funds
for the stadium over the other pending projects.

4. Stadium/Amphitheater Contract Services Phase II.
(F:134.10)
Executive Director Molendyk gave an overview of the project
and explained that the proposed site is Malaga and Mission
Trail. He further stated that the Redevelopment Agency owns
the land and the cost would be for construction design.
Dan Young, Younq Investment Group explained that due to time
constraints the planned slide presentation will be presented
at a later date and thanked the Board for the opportunity to
do the feasibility study for this project and explained that
the next step is to authorize a turn-key contract for design
and engineering of the facility.
Chairwoman Cherveny explained that time is of the essence in
regard to this project and that several other cities have
expressed interest in buildinq a stadium, but that the City of
Lake Elsinore Redevelopment Agency has been aggressive and
needs to continue to move forward with the project.
Boardmember Alongi questioned the items that have been cut
from the budget to provide for this item. Chairwoman Cherveny
explained that $200,000 from the Methodist Church, $550,000
from the Housing Program and the Ambassador Hotel has a hold
' PAGE SIX - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - DECEMBER 8~ 1992
' on it good through January 1, 1993. Mr. Alongi asked if that
includes the money for the Amber Ridge to redo their septic
systems. Mrs. Cherveny explained that in January l, that
money would be free to address, items not on the budget.
Boardmember Alongi asked if the $750,000 was for the design of
~ the ball field. Chairwoman Cherveny explained that the money
would be for the working drawings.
' Boardmember Alongi further questioned where the money would
', come from to build the project. Boardmember Winkler explained
' that there are a variety of avenues which can be addressed at
a later time, such as private sources, bonding, monies which
will be free in the next couple of years and several other
avenues yet to be explored.
, Boardmember Alongi then questioned if the rush to get the
, design was to get a ball team. Boardmember Winkler explained
that there is an opportunity, in the next few years, to create
a new Lake Elsinore. He cited the Eastlake Project, Lake
Management and the fact that Council and the Board have built
up to try to make Lake Elsinore the recreational capital of
Southern California and~with these projects it is right around
the corner. Mr. Winkler explained that the opportunity is now
, to acquire a Minor League Team which will enhance the economy
, of the City and negotiations have been on-going to make this
, possible.
Boardmember Washburn stated his approval of this project and
commented on the progress of the Lake and all the projects to
improve the Lake. He stressed that if it became a choice of
, choosing between the money going to the Stadium or the Lake
the Lake will be the project which will take priority with
him. He explained that he would encourage private investors.
,
I Boardmember Winkler concurred with Boardmember Washburn.
Chairwoman Cherveny explained that there are 68 days of
baseball in the stadium, but that is not all it brings. She
further explained that the stadium can bring concerts, antique
shows, car shows and other related events indicating that the
stadium is not just for baseball.
', Boardmember pominguez stated that he felt that the Lake was a
', priority of the Board and agreed with Boardmember Washburn
that private investors should be encouraged to do the
financing.
Boardmember Alongi expressed his doubt and disfavor of this
project and questioned the ability of the City to further
' finance a stadium and its design over the other needed
projects of the City.

BUSINESS ITEM
a. Lake Elsinore Stadium. Phase II.
Dan Young, Young Investment Group, clarified the phasing of
this project and indicated that this would actually be $8.5
plus $750,000 for the design work.
Executive Director Molendyk gave and overview of this project
and explained that it had been continued from November 24th to
allow for a Budget review before making a decision. He
stressed that this is the time frame necessary if the Council
desires to proceed and have a Stadium for April, 1994.
Mr. Young further indicated that two factors should also be
considered, being 1) that the entitlement to proceed is part
of the Eastlake Project and 2) the project is predicated on
the cost reductions presented. He further explained the
phasing of the Eastlake Project and its relationship to the
Stadium. He also explained that if this item is approved,
they would begin immediately negotiating for a team. He
detailed all of the time frames necessary for the April, 1994
completion date. He stressed that this opportunity may not
exist for long and advised that Moreno Valley and Temecula are
also making strides to obtain a minor league team.
Boardmember Alongi commented that Lake Elsinore is different
from Moreno Valley and Temecula in that they do not have
lakes. He stressed the importance of the Lake and making it
work for the Community. He suggested that this community
would be more supportive of a Rodeo Facility, as would he. He
further commented that because of economic constraints the
City can not do everything it would like to. He suggested that
this matter be postponed.
Boardmember Winkler indicated that he has been looking into
this for some time and much consideration has been given to
making it work. He concurred that this City does have the
Lake and much progress has been made on that as well. He
stressed that the City is at this deciding point because they
have been aggressive in the approach to this opportunity. He
suggested that this is the time to proceed with this project
and committed to taking a hard look at other cuts in the
budget to make it work.
PAGE TWO - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - DECEMBER 1~ 1992
Boardmember pominguez concurred with Councilman Alongi's
comments and stressed that the Lake needs to be the number one
priority. He commented on the changes which have occurred to
impact the budqet and that the priorities have really not
chanqed. He also commented that theaters have been discussed
for a long time and he would not want to see the priority for
those shifted. He expressed concern with proceeding when the
City really cannot afford the project.
Chairwoman Cherveny advised that she was excited when the
possibility of a minor League team came up. She indicated
that she thinks the time is right and the community is prime
for this project and now is the time to act to be guaranteed
a team. She further indicated that she is still supportive of
the project, but she is also concerned with making decisions
that are fiscally sound for the Community. She also stressed
the necessity to deal with the Lake, as it has been a priority
of the community for a number of years. She expressed concern
with financing the future of the City, and indicated that if
the funding for Camelot Properties could be eliminated she
would be more likely to consider proceeding.
Boardmember pominquez questioned the new police facility .
Chairwoman Cherveny indicated that it was not on the present
agenda.

expressed his concern for evaporation if the lake is
maintained in the wet period at 1240'. Mr. Young explained
that the concern was noted and the documents now state that
1240' is a minimum and not a maximum. He further explained
that their engineers have revised the plan to accommodate the
desired level of 1249' which is what the Water District has
requested.
Executive Director Molendyk explained that the reason why the
original document had 1240~ as that was what the original Lake
Management plan was designed for and later changed.

concern and acquisition of State Park property which the City

the State Park land can be addressed at the time of the
development agreement.

he was referring to. She stated that she did not think that
this was the State Park on Riverside Drive or Lakeshore Drive.

in the floodplain.

land.

responsibility of the City in regard to the option.

was not exercised the City would receive the equivalent in
land. He further explained that the $3,000 payment does not
get equivalency.
Boardmember Alongi stated that he felt that the funds from the
Redevelopment Agency should be spent on investments and not on
somethinq that does not furnish a way to recover the funds for
further investments. He further stated that he felt that no
further funds should be spent.
Legal Counsel Harper explained that the City negotiated the
price several years ago with the Grosse Corporation and after
that fell through the City had an appraisal done which
confirmed that the land is at fair market value.

MOVED BY WINKLER, SECONDED BY WASHBURN TO APPROVE 3"F" WHICH READ
AS FOLLOWS: "GUARANTEE REPAYMENT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SEWER
MAINS AND LATERALS WITHIN THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY. STAFF IS
DIRECTED EACH YEAR TO REQUEST EVMWD TO PAY THE $47,051 ANNUAL
PAYMENT BY COMMITTING A PORTION OF THE ANNUAL RDA PASS-THROUGH
FUNDS FOR THE 20 YEAR DURATION OF THE $700,000, 3$ LOW INTEREST
LOAN. THE FIRST ANNUAL PAYMENT WILL COMMENCE ONE YEAR FOLLOWING
COMPLETION OF SEWER MAIN CONSTRUCTION. THE INDIVIDUAL HOMEOWNERS
WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CONNECTING TO THE SEWER, INCLUDING THE
$3,500 E~IMWD SEWER CONNECTION FEE (WHICH THE DISTRICT MAY ACCEPT AS
A LIEN ON THE PROPERTY) AND THE ESTIMATED COSTS OF $2,600 TO
CONSTRUCT THE LATERAL BETWEEN THE STREET RIGHT OF WAY AND THE IiOUSE
(INCLUDING THE BACKFILLING OF THE EXISTING SEPTIC TANK/PIT). THE
DISTRICT WILL MAKE THE FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS WITH EACH PROPERTY
OWNER REGARDING REPAYMENT TO THE DISTRICT FOR THE SEWER MAIN AND
LATERAL COSTS WITHIN THE PUBLIC RIGAT OF WAY.
Boardmember Winkler explained that EVMWD needs the funds to
accomplish this and it will be six to eight months to complete
after approval and he felt that the City should be movinq on
this. He further stated that there should be an incentive to
encourage the entire area's participation.
PAGE FOUR - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - DECEMBER 22, 1992
I Boardmember Washburn concurred with Boardmember Winkler and
stated that this is a health issue and suggested a 50~
participation loan for hook-up using funds in a pass through
agreement which are funds received by EVMWD. He further
,' stated that it is also a moral issue and he encouraged EVMWD
to participate in solving this.
Chairwoman Cherveny read 3"F" to reconfirm the verbiage which
' is being moved on. She questioned the actual cost of this
I project. Executive Director Molendyk explained the cost is
I approximately $7,500 per home.
Boardmember Winkler asked that the last sentence of the motion
be struck as it is not consistent with his intent. Boardmember
Washburn as second concurred. Mr. Winkler explained that the
intent of his motion.
Boardmember Alongi explained that Amber Ridge tract has a
problem and the funds from RDA are there to help assist, not
to invest money for Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District.
The Board is going to invest $700,000 of RDA funds if the cost
does not go beyond as it seems to do with other government
projects. This project could grow to $1,000,000. Mr. Alongi
further stated that he did not think it was appropriate for
those persons who live in Project Areas 1, 2, or 3 to pay for
facilities for EVMWD. He further explained that he would like
to see the Board offer the residents a low interest loan to
repair their septic systems which would solve the health
problems. Mr. Alongi explained that there is no guarantee
that anyone in that tract will hook up to the sewer and if
they do it is proposed that the City will pay and EVMWD will
collect the service fee with the City getting nothing. He
reaffirmed his opinion that the Board should invest RDA funds
where there is a return on the dollar. Mr. Alongi asked the
Board if they were willing to invest in all the other areas
that are experiencing septic problems and stated his belief
that the property has a responsibility to correct their own
problems.
Chairwoman Cherveny explained that she had no problem with the
motion as long as the property owners were to participate in
the repayment of the cost; without the property owners
participation for at least part of the funds, she stated she
could not support the motion. This item does not conform with
the budget and the Board must live within the budget.
Boardmember Alongi pointed out that the motion requests EVMWD
to pay, the motion does not state that they will. He further
stated that in January there will be a new member on the EVMWD
Board and he would like to wait and see what the new member
would do. Mr. Alongi stated that EVMWD should take over the
installation of the sewer and the City could pay for the
connection of the sewer from the house to the lateral.
MOVED BY CHERVENY, SECONDED BY ALONGI AS A SUBSEQUENT MOTION TO
TABLE THE ITEM TO THE FIRST MEETING IN JANUARY SO THAT THE WATER
DISTRICT CAN HAVE MORE TIME TO CONSIDER THE CONSTRUCTION OF SEWER
AND CONSIDERATION CAN BE GIVEN TO THE PASS-THROUGH MONEY.
Boardmember Winkler stated that he was ready to move on this
item now.
Boardmember pominguez explained that this situation is a
health hazard and the City has been waiting for the Water
Company to act on this and now there is a motion to resolve
the problem and he feels that this should be addressed now.
~
Boardmember Alongi explained that the problem can be resolved
by repairing the septic systems. He further stated that he is
PAGE FIVE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - DECEMBER 22, 1992
not opposed to assisting the people of Amber Ridge, but that
he felt that providing all the funding for sewer is not the
way to do it.
Chairwoman Cherveny asked for the definition of a gift of
public funds.
Legal Counsel Harper stated that the Amber Ridge study clearly
defines that this would not be a gift of public funds.

the price for the property is proposed to be $2,650,000 with
terms of $1,000,000 down, carrying the balance for three to
five years at nine percent interest.

constitution to enter into a debt mortgage because it violates
the constitutional debt limitation.
