He stated his opposition to the motion, but i advised that he would not mind considering the demolition , costs. He commented on the previous reconsideration and his mistake on the original approval, as he did not understand it ' to be a"no gingerbread" approach. Ae stressed that there is no comprehensive plan in place for low income housing and expressed concern with taking a hap-hazard approach to such a , program. He further commented that he considers this to be a ', substandard form of housing, which he has fought while on the ', Council. He stressed that he does not agree with lowering the ', standards to create low income housing. He indicated that he , feels an adequate amount of low-income housing already exists in the community and stressed the need for balance between high, moderate and low income housing. He further indicated that he does not feel $450,000 should be spent toward this ' effort. He also indicated that the Development Agreements ', already in place carry requirements to provide additional low ' and moderate income housing. I Boardmember pominguez addressed this project and indicated , that he still feels the special district previously discussed for this area is the best approach. Chairwoman Cherveny clarified the costs proposed for this ' project being $200,000 in land, $62,000 for purchase of the remaining house and $190,000 grant. She further clarified ', that this would all be contingent on the applicant obtaining I a$1 million construction loan. I '_ - -- - - -- - -____ PAGE THREE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINtTTEB - JANUARY 13~ 1993 Boardmember Alongi expressed concern that Boardmember Winkler doesn't know the difference between slums and low-income housing, suggesting that this project will be comparable to Tuscany Hills. He explained that the "no gingerbread" approach means that items such as dishwashers will not be provided. He further explained that the design presented has been worked out with the Executive Director and the Assistant Executive Director and is felt to be a good design. He expressed his resentment to the comments by Boardmember Winkler and stressed the need for low income housing and suggested that this is a place to start. He addressed the promises made to the developer and indicated that the developer has met the requirements. He further indicated that the developer holds a letter of interest from First Trust Bank, but not a commitment due to the Board's reconsideration. He stressed that this action would give Che applicant the funds to proceed. Boardmember Washburn commented on infill housing in the City and prior work on an infill program for this area, indicating it was hap-hazard and did not last for long. He stressed the need for input in the planning process indicating that this project as originally presented had good input, but had grown since that time. He indicated that he feels there are ways to get this project done, commenting on a recent meeting with the County Economic Development Agency representatives to discuss funding alternatives. He indicated that a good program exists in the City of Norco, but the City of Lake Elsinore does not have an established plan and this would be a"knee- jerk" approach. He further indicated that he would like to see a program put toqether with a definable direction before a project such as this one proceeds. Vice Chairman Winkler commented that his biggest concern in this area is the inadequate infrastructure and suggested taking a more complete approach to this area. He further commented on a program in Riverside that became a problem and also began with individual ownership, much like is proposed for this project. He expressed concern that it would be a gamble to proceed in the hap-hazard manner. He questioned the latest figures for low income housing. Special Projects Coordinator Wood indicated that he does not have the new figures, but they should be available. Chairwoman Cherveny added that she feels this is a private industry effort to make a change so the government doesn't have to be the answer for everyone. She noted that this developer came forward to assist the City, discussed the project with staff and spent money and took a gamble already. She reminded the Board of other recent expenditures, indicating that this is a step forward and the entire community cannot be master planned. She stressed that this developer is willing to take the chance and she feels this Board should assist him. Boardmember Alongi responded to earlier comments by Vice Chairman Winkler and questioned the 70~ low income housing figure. Special Projects Coordinator Wood indicated that this figure was from a report done by SCAG in 1989 which showed 703 of the housing in the City qualified as low and moderate income housinq. ' PAGE FOIIR - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MIN[TTES - JANUARY 12~ 1993 ~ , Chairwoman Cherveny questioned the population at that time. ' Special Projects Coordinator Wood indicated it was approximately 15,000 to 16,000. Chairwoman Cherveny questioned the area of the City at that time and how much it has increased. Mr. Wood indicated that the area had increased, but he was not aware of exactly how much. Boardmember Alongi inquired whether it was true that there is ' no way to measure low income housing requirements for a ', population of less the 50,000 people. Executive Director Molendyk clarified that for the Community Development Block Grant process there is a requirement of 50,000 population to allow independent applications for funds. ' Boardmember Alongi questioned the local requirements for low I income housing. Boardmember Washburn clarified that the , Redevelopment Project Areas have the responsibility of providing,20~ set aside for low and moderate income housing. He further clarified that this City has always been granted a , waiver because the requirements have been met. ', Boardmember Alongi indicated that he would like to see housing , available that could be purchased by two people working at McDonalds. He further indicated that this is would not necessarily be a slum situation. He also indicated that the businesses being drawn to the Community are not high income ' jobs. He stressed the gamble of the developer in taking '~ responsibility for a$1 million loan and suggested that this ' developer feels the project will work or he would not take on this responsibility. He further indicated that his priority while in office is for housing which is decent and gives people pride of ownership. He suggested that the Board owes ', approval to Mr. Jiron based on his prior commitments. ', Boardmember pominguez commented on the use of Redevelopment ' Funds and explained that six months earlier plans were ' completed for a special assessment district in this area and then shelved. He further commented that he feels this new I approach to be piecemeal. ', Vice Chairman Winkler called for the question. Boardmember ', Alongi requested a vote on this call for the question. Boardmember Alongi addressed the proposed assessment district mentioned by Boardmember pominguez and suggested that it would only inflate the cost of the property in the area. He , commented that he is not in disagreement with the need for a ', working plan, however there is presently no plan in place. Mr. Alongi further commented that the median home price in ', Lake Elsinore is now $130,000. Chairwoman Cherveny offered the applicant an opportunity to , speak. The applicant declined.

DISCUSSION ITEM 1. Mobilehome Rent__COntrol. City Attorney Harper commented on the staff inemo provided for this meeting and explained that most cities can adopt Mobile Home Rent Control Ordinances, if they are to be in effect for in excess of one year and do not relate to new spaces after 1990. He detailed factors to be considered in relationship to this type of ordinance being: 1. The relationship between mobile home park rents and the value of park amenities including non-economic benefits of individual parks,•,' 2. The analysis of the appropriateness of capital and maintenance expenditures. 3. The relative rates among parks with a community; i.e. the park which has been operating at no profit versus the park that operates at a profit and the causes therefore. 4. The interface and potential rent differentials of term rental agreements versus month to month tenancies and newly constructed spaces versus pre-1990 construction. 5. Changing ownership of parks. City Attorney Harper further explained that there are currently 90 ordinances of this type throughout the State, most utilizing a neutral third party. He detailed the criteria by which this neutral third party would consider ~ situations including: 1. Increased or decreased cost to the park owner attributable to utility rates, taxes, insurance,, advertising, maintenance and repair of facilities and' operational expenses. ~ PAGE TWO - WORR SESSION MINUTE3 - JANUARY 19~ 1993 2. Capital improvement costs for rehabilitation work related to the mobilehome space or spaces and the cost thereof, including cost of materials, labor, construction interest, permit fees and potentially excluding replacement or reconstruction necessitated by the park owner's failure to maintain the mobilehome park. 3. The addition or deletion of amenities or services. 4. Fair rate of return on property. 5. Rental rates paid in comparable mobilehome parks in the area. 6. The physical condition of the mobilehome~s space or park. 7. The rental history of the mobile home~s spaces. 8. The park owners rental assistance proqram, if any. City Attorney Harper indicated that the Council might look at additional financial investigation prior to adopting a controlling ordinance of this type. Councilman Winkler questioned a document provided by the Manufactured Housing Educational Trust and the study which might be necessary. City Attorney Harper explained that in order to adopt such an ordinance, a factual basis of existing problems must be determined. He suggested that the next step should probably be a more detailed analysis of the existing problems. Mayor Pro Tem Dominguez questioned the study which was done by the Manufactured Housing Educational Trust and the existing situation. Mayor Washburn clarified that this was only a cursory study, and detailed the information provided regarding Briarwood, Butterfield and Huntsman Mobile Home Parks. Councilman Winkler noted that this information was only one side of the issue. Councilman Alongi suggested the need for comparison between the parks with regard to services and amenities provided. Mayor Washburn commented that there does not appear to be an adequate comparison of amenities. He noted that 3/4 of the people in attendance at this meeting were residents of Briarwood Mobile Home Park, 2 people represented Butterfield, and the owners of Huntsman were present. He commented on previous discussions and questioned the status of legislation which had been pending on this issue. A member of the audience indicated that this legislation known as AB 935 lost by only one vote. City Attorney Harper questioned the intent of Assemblyman Lundberg~'tn have the bill reintroduced for consideration and offer.ed to contact his office to find out. Mayor Washburn noted that this bill as previously presented, would have forced all cities to enact a rent control ordinance. ' Walt Wilson, representing the Golden State Mobile Home Park PAGE THREE - STIIDY SESSZON MINUTES - JANUARY 19~ 1993 Owners group, commented on his contacts with other owners' associations and clarified that there are control ordinances and review ordinances. He used the City of Hemet as an example, noting that their review process had only been used about ten times. He further explained that their review board consists of three non-mobile home people, one park owner and one tenant; and was formed with the intent of stabilizing rents. He noted that the other basic issue has been to allow the owners to make a profit, but not to the point of excess. Councilman Winkler questioned the issue of control versus review. Mr. Wilson indicated that reviewing of rents is done by a commission on the basis of the total situation to determine what is appropriate; versus control which limits the ability to raise rates, subject to appeal. He also explained that some parks have an assistance program to assist hardship cases. Maybr Pro Tem Dominguez questioned the assistance program and whether the parks in the City have such a program. Mr. Wilson indicated he was not sure whether this program was in place in Lake Elsinore, however he was aware of programs in Riverside. Ellen Friedmann, representing the Manufactured Housing Educational Trust, indicated that she was familiar with the rental assistance program and explained its coordination through her association. She further indicated that this program had only been in the Inland Empire since June, 1992, however, this type of assistance has been available in Orange County for approximately four years. She also indicated that this is a temporary program through-HUD with a guideline of 40% of income for rent. Councilwoman Cherveny questioned the long term lease limit for exemption from rent control. Ms. Friedmann clarified that rent control would only impact those people without a long term lease. City Attorney Harper further clarified that this exemption applies to only those leases of one year or longer, for spaces developed before November of 1990. Councilwoman Cherveny inquired whether there had been court cases to determine a fair rate of return for a mobile home park. City Attorney Harper indicated that this is a matter of market factors for each park and needs to be addressed on a case by case basis. Councilman Alongi questioned grant programs. Ms. Friedmann explained that each case is different based on the situation, however they are generally given in the form of a subsidy out of the park owner's pocket. Another alternative in some cases is that the program writes a check to the recipient every month. Councilman Alongi inquired where these funds come from. Ms. Friedmann indicated they come from the association fees paid by park owners. Councilman Alongi further inquired how many are currently subsidized directly by the program. Ms. Friedmann advised that there are currently four people compensated directly out of 100 receiving subsidies. Councilman Alongi inquired how long the application and PAGE FOIIR - WORR SE3SION MINUTES - JANUARY 19~ 1993 approval process takes. Ms. Friedmann indicated that it takes two months at most. Councilman Alongi inquired whether her organization would oppose a rent review ordinance. Ms. Friedmann advised that their position is in. opposition to any governmental intervention. Councilwoman Cherveny questioned the amount of assistance available in the Inland Empire. Ms. Friedmann indicated that she was uncertain, however the Orange County and Inland Empire groups are tied and draw from the same pool. • Councilwoman Cherveny inquired whether all parks participate in the Manufactured Housing Educational Trust. Ms. Friedmann indicated that not all parks participate, however, the tenants can still qualify for assistance. City Attorney Aarper clarified that rent control and rent review are really the same thing under the law, and the difference is only a matter of semantics. Councilwoman Cherveny inquired whether rent control could be tied to the Consumer Price Index. Mr. Harper indicated that it probably could not specifically be tied to CPI, however that is a term which could be considered. Councilman Alongi indicated that he thinks that rent review would better address the different situations, while rent control would be based on one set of standards. City Attorney Harper further clarified that the two terms are realistically the same thing. Pat DesJardin, 34350 Olive Grove, Wildomar, addressed the semantics of rent control and rent review. She suggested that the word "tenant" should not be used, because of the uniqueness of mobile home park living. She detailed her background and knowledge of mobile home park regulation, and offered assistance to the City Council in developing a final solution. Councilman Winkler inquired whether the voluntary program in the City of Riverside was successful. Mr. Wilson indicated that the City of Riverside did have a voluntary program until recently, however in the last 4 to 5 months it was converted to rent control. City Attorney Harper advised that he is not aware of a successful voluntary program. Albert Bishop, resident of Briarwood, c'ommented on the ~~mandatory~~ lease presented by his park owner and the "intimidation" that accompanied it. He further commented that his rent was raised $35 after he chose not to sign it. He stressed that approximately 80~ of the residents in Briarwood are sick, elderly or disabled and on fixed incomes. He further stressed that additional increases will literally put the xesidents out on the streets. He also commented on the fairness of the previous owner over the new owners. Mayor Pro Tem Dominguez inquired whether Mr. Bishop had signed the lease. Mr. Bishop indicated he had not. Mayor Pro Tem Dominguez inquired how much those without a lease were paying. PAGE FIVE - WORR SESSION MZNUTES - JANUARY 19~ 1993 Mr. Bishog indicated the new residents were paying up to $240 per month; and the owner appears to adjust the rents as he pleases, detailing his rent increases to date. Mayor Washburn inquired how old the Briarwood park is. Mr. Dominguez indicated it was developed in the 1960~s. Earline Dufault, owner of Huntsman Mobile Home Park, advised that they recently held a tenants meeting to receive input on the issue of rent control. She indicated that the input received from tenants is that they just want to be left alone, because all is going well between the owners and tenants. Their concern was that forced rent control would hurt these tenants. Councilman Winkler questioned the amenities at Auntsman. Ms. Dufault indicated that they have a pool, Spa, pool room, clubhouse and a number of activities. Councilman Alongi inquired how many of the lots at Huntsman are rented. Ms. Dufault indicated that all of the lots are rented. Councilman Alongi further inquired whether they used lease agreements. Ms. Dufault advised that the tenants have a choice of a one year lease or a 30 day rental agreement. She further advised that there is a once per year rent increase. Councilman Alongi questioned the age of the Huntsman park. Ms. Dufault advised that it was developed in 1972 and she has owned it since 1980. Councilman Alongi further questioned rent increases. Ms. Dufault advised that they are one time each year based on the increased cost to the owner. Councilman Alongi questioned the notification to the tenants of these rent increases. Ms. Dufault indicated that notification is provided 60 days in advance. Mr. Alongi inquired who pays water and sewer charges. Ms. Dufault indicated that they are paid by the owner. Councilman Alongi commented on the difference in management between parks, and the impact of responsible ownership; and stressed the importance of cooperation between the owners and tenants. Councilman Winkler concurred with Mr. Alongi and went on to note that with the change of owners, the same concerns could arise in other parks. Bill Peyton, owner of Butterfield Mobile Home Park, commented that the brunt of,the problem is the interaction between landlords and tenants. He further commented on the uniqueness of mobile home park living. He questioned the need for a rent control program when only one park appears to have concerns. He stressed that only 37~ of the Briarwood tenants have concerns with a long term lease. Lela Cardoza, resident of Briarwood, stressed the small size of the lots in her park. She ndted that the owner even attempted to charge extra for parking more than one vehicle. Mayor Washburn questioned the actual lot size. Ms. Cardoza was uncertain, but noted she could not open her car door without hitting another coach. PAGE SIX - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - JANUARY 19~ 1993 Flora Williams, resident of Briarwood, questioned the effect of rent control on park owners with no problems. City Attorney Harper clarified that the impact would be uniform and any limitations would be across the board. Ms. Williams indicated that she believes if the program is effective it will not impact other owners. She suggested that Briarwood will suffer in the meantime until a solution is found. Mayor washburn further clarified that such an ordinance would force owners to charge the maximum amount allowed to keep up, and stressed that most citizens don't want more government. Jim Erickson, resident of Briarwood, commented on the residents without leases who are paying higher rents. He noted that currently the highest rate of monthly rent is $246. He stressed that there is no comparison of the amenities between parks. He suqqested consideration of a program to assist the residents in purchasinq the park themselves through assistance of the Redevelopment Agency, noting that several residents would be interested. Marge Rieder, resident of Briarwood, commented on the issue of leases and the threats of exorbitant rent increases. She suggested that it might be better to sign the lease and terminate it 60 days later. Mr. Harper clarified that termination of the lease could incur damages and that termination of the lease would require that the residents move. Mr. Bishop again stressed the intimidation used by the current owners to force signature of the leases. Councilman winkler addressed the issue of assisting residents to purchase the park. He inquired whether it had been done elsewhere and whether the residents would be interested. The residents indicated interest. City Attorney Harper advised that it has been done previously and is specifically addressed by Redevelopment law. Mr. Erickson noted that this proposition was presented to the previous owner before the park was sold.

PUBLIC COMMENTS - NON-AGENDZZED ITEMS Helena Holman, commented that it disturbs her that Council/RDA ~ PAGE FOUR - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - JANAURY 26~ 1993 ~ Board can»ot work together and suggested that there was a real conflict of interest because members of Council/RDA own property and make decisions which affect their ownership. She further pointed out that this pertains to Mr. Winkler and Mr. Washburn. She further expressed her disfavor with removing Tere Cherveny as Chairwoman of the Redevelopment Agency. Chris Hyland, 1+5191 Wavecrest Drive, commented that she was working for the recall•and stated that all the information provided for the public in regard to the recall is based on documentation which she would be happy to provide for proof. She questioned the possible violation of the Brown Act by now allowing Edith Stafford to speak during public comments for the City Council meeting, quoting from sections of the Brown Act. She stated that she felt that Mrs. Stafford did not have to fill out a form in order to speak. Chairman Winkler asked that Legal Counsel Harper review the Brown Act and make a ruling in regard to the legality of filling out a form. Peter Dawson, Lakeland Village, expressed his concern regarding the Lake Edge Specific Plan. He thanked Mr. Washburn, Mrs. Cherveny, Mr. Winkler and Mr. Alongi for attending the meeting of January 15, 1993 regarding a launch plan for water front homeowners. He further encouraged the Council and Board to follow through with this plan. Chairman Winkler advised that there would be two town hall meetings regarding the Lake Edge Specific Plan in the near future. THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETING WAS RECESSED AT 11:15 P.M.

(F:92.1) Boardmember Alongi requested clarification of this permit and the term stated of five years; and questioned whether there is a time limit to apply. He advised that LEMA had discussed pulling funds away from this project to address another issue. Boardmember Washburn inquired whether this matter was discussion or action had actually been taken. ~ PAGE TWO - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MIN[JTES - FEBRUARY 9~ 1993 Boardmember Alongi explained that the point was that with the agreement insurance is necessary and he is not sure the project will proceed at this time. He questioned the ability to be ready to proceed in two years. Executive Director Molendyk clarified that staff was proceeding on the direction to obtain the necessary permits; noting that this is a rather burdensome process. He stressed that efforts were made to meet the time line for consideration at the State level on March 16th. Boardmember Alongi explained that the reason this was discussed at LEMA was because a few dollars remain in the research portion of the budget and the money could be used for another necessary study. He further explained that with additional water in the lake the system is not as necessary at this time. He questioned the application time limit. Director of Special Projects watenpaugh explained the permit with the State and the efforts to proceed with the underlying conditions of the 404 permit. He further explained that the discussion at LEMA, as he understood it, was whether it was possible to hold off on the purchase and implementation of the system. He also explained that there is no fee for the permit, but it would expire in five years. Boardmember Washburn addressed the discussions pertaining to the Salt Cedar Study suggesting that funds exist for this study without impacting the Aeration System. He indicated that he would not agree with this shift in funds. He stressed the need to comply with the 404 permit.

(F:68.1) Executive Director Molendyk explained this item in connection with the contract with CR & R. Boardmember Alongi inquired whether CR & R would still attempt to sell the property. David Fahrion, representing CR & R, indicated that they would still try to sell it, but stressed the difficulty with sales at this time. He commented that he had heard there might be an interest in this site for the animal shelter and indicated that they would be willing to negotiate this if appropriate. t PAGE THREE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINOTES - FEBRIIARY 9~ 1993 MOVED BY DOMINGUEZ, SECONDED BY CHERVENY TO APPROVE THE PAYMENT SCHEDULE AS PRESENTED. Boardmember Cherveny commented that the performance of CR & R to date has been less than satisfactory, but this appears to be a step forward. THE FOREGOING MOTION CARRIED BY A VOTE OF 4 TO 0 WITH WASHBURN ABSTAINING. 6. . (F:156.2) Executive Director Molendyk explained that the Collier Avenue improvements contract was awarded to MBC Constructors on July 9, 1991, and construction began in August of 1991. He advised that the original contract was for $3,096,628 with 75 change orders which increased the contract by $622,459 because of bad soil encountered on site, $721,375 for changes requested by EVMWD and $122,052 for street lights and other alterations to make the total cost of the project $4,976,254. MOVED BY CHERVENY, SECONDED BY ALONGI TO ACCEPT THE NOTICE OF COMPLETION FOR COLLIER AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS FROM RIVERSIDE DRIVE TO NICHOLS ROAD AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY CLERK TO RECORD THE DOCUMENT. Boardmember Cherveny expressed surprise and concern in regard to the number of change orders for this project. She inquired whether the Agency had billed EVMWD for reimbursement. She expressed concern with the original bid amounts and the end cost for this project. Public Services Director Tecca advised that as soon as all of the outstanding bills are collected EVMWD will be billed for the reimbursements. Chairman Winkler inquired when the 12-inch water line was proposed to be converted to a reclaimed waterline. Public Services Director Tecca explained that this line will be used for landscaping and at this time there is no reclaimed water available so potable water is being used. He further explained that when reclaimed water is available then EVMWD will reimburse the City $421,808. Boardmember Washburn explained that when the project went to bid the reclaimed water line was an unknown factor and EVMWD requested that one be installed later in the project and would not allow the project to proceed until the line was installed. Chairman Winkler commended staff for their hard work and effort on this project to make it possible for the Outlet Center to open. He commented on the wall that was required by Fish and Game for that area, and noted that there was no possibility for neqotiation and he felt that staff did an excellent job. Boardmember Alongi questioned the completion of the ponds for the wildlife and asked if that was included in the $4,976,254. Public Services Director Tecca advised that it was handled as a separate project. Mr. Alongi then asked why street lights were not anticipated in the original plans. Public Services Director Tecca explained that in the original plans Edison was to install the street lights, and it was later decided to ~ PAGE FOiTR - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINOTES - FESRIIARY 9~ 1993 provide the street lights through the project due to the high cost of Edison. He further explained that the capital cost was higher but reduced the annual operating cost by handling it as part of the project. ' Boardmember Alongi asked if anyone had done core testing to check the amount of moisture in the soil. Public Services Director Tecca explained that an extensive amount of testing was done, but when the "March Miracle" occurred it changed the entire project. Mr. Alongi asked if there was some way that the City could check with Fish and Game or Corp of.Engineers to see what they might want done and include it in the original bid package. Mr. Tecca explained the permitting process and the difficulties experienced on this project. Executive Director Molendyk explained the process that the City must go through to provide wetlands. He further explained that Fish and Game will not do anything in advance because of what might be found while the project is underway. Mr. Molendyk explained that in working with Cal Trans there is no way to plan for some of the things that occur, Cal Trans will place conditions in the field. Boardmember Alongi questioned Change Order #20 - Temporary Traffic Control and asked why this was not anticipated. Mark Biloki, Construction Manager for Albert Webb Associates, explained that during the installation of a water line Cal Trans reconsidered the signed and approved plans and encroachment permit and directed the placement of temporary traffic control or the job would be closed down. Boardmember Alongi questioned Change Order #$ regarding hook up of a 6" sewer lateral. Mr. Biloki explained that the sewer was never intended to a part of this project and EVMWD required that this be done. There was further discussion in regard to associated costs for each project. Boardmember Alongi questioned Item #62 - Additional work on tie in to E/Z Products. Mr. Biloki explained that EVMWD required additional work in this area and it would be up to the City if they wished EVMWD to reimburse this money. Boardmember Alongi asked that the list of change orders found in the agenda item be more specific in regard to who ordered them and why the item was required. Public Services Director Tecca advised that he would provide that information. Boardmember Washburn suqgested that Mr. Ballew be contacted because at the time he spent as the project coordinator and worked with EVMWD. THE FOREGOING MOTION CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE. , 7. Consideration of Sewer System for the Avenues and the ' Gunnerson/Riverside Area Reauested by Boardmember Alon~. (F:134.10) Boardmember Alongi commented that the Agency has set a program in place to assist in the installation of main sewer lines in the Amber Ridge Tract even though it is not in a Redevelopment Area and asked if Amber Ridge Tract will pay for the PAGE FIVE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINOTES - FEBRIIARY 9~ 1993 installation of the sewer. Chairman Winkler explained that the funding for the main sewer line and the laterals will be guaranteed by the Redevelopment Agency, but the cost of hooking up from the lateral to their home and the $3,500 fee to EVMWD will have to be paid by the property owner. Boardmember Alongi then requested that the Redevelopment Agency create the same program for the Avenues and the Gunnerson/Riverside Area as Amber Ridge has. He explained that the Avenues are experiencing the same type of problems, especially on Nebraska and Shrier Drive. He explained that if the Redevelopment Aqency can pay for Amber Ridge which is not in a Redevelopment Area then the Agency can address the problems of these areas which are in a Redevelopment Area. Mr. Alongi stated that he felt that all areas should be opened up for sewer service that wish to have the service provided to them under the same conditions. MOVED BY WASABURN, SECONDED BY WINKLER TO TABLE INDEFINITELY THE CONSIDERATION OF A SEWER SYSTEM FOR THE AVENUES AND THE GUNNERSON/ RIVERSIDE AREA AND DIRECT STAFF TO STUDY ALL NON-SEWERED AREAS IN THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE AND RETURN WITH A REPORT OF WHAT AREAS EXIST, WHAT AREAS NEED UP-GRADING AND SUGGESTED DIRECTION FOR THE FUTURE OF SEWERS IN THOSE AREAS. Boardmember Cherveny stated that the study done for Amber Ridge included the other areas. Boardmember Washburn explained that the reason he made his motion was because he felt that although the areas were included there was not a comprehensive enough explanation of those areas and that they needed to be addressed directly. Chairman Winkler explained that this should be addressed at budget time. He reviewed the projects and the accomplishments in the last seven years prior to the West End being addressed, noting that he has worked for a project in this area for seven years. Boardmember Alongi stated that it takes a long time to set up programs to address different problems, but once the program is set it is open to everyone. He explained that Amber Ridge was not a budgeted item and he felt that this was an appropriate time for this to be addressed as well. He further stated that Amber Ridge was not addressed at the time the tract was built and he felt that to table this item indefinitely was criminal, and felt that the Board should address this item by no later than the next meeting. Iie concurred that possibly a master plan of sewer should be developed, so that this could be addressed. He requested that this item be brought back on the 23rd of February. THE FOREGOING MOTION WAS APPROVED WITH A VOTE OF 3 TO 2 WITH ALONGI AND CHERVENY CASTING THE DISSENTING VOTES. 8. Redevelopment Acxency Business Incentive Proqram. Reauested by Boardmember Chervenv. (F:70.1) Boardmember Cherveny yielded the floor to Phil Williams who had requested to address this item. ~ ~ PAGE SI% - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINIITES - FEBRUARY 9~ 1993 ~ Phil Williams commented on the recent Special Meeting concerning Walmart and the petition presented at that time. He indicated that he currently has contacted and represents approximately businesses in the community who are concerned with Redevelopment Agency incentives being offered to Walmart. He noted that the response to Walmart varies with the level of competition to any particular business. He requested that the Board direct staff to work with the business owners to develop a program of assistance comparable to that offered to Walmart. Chairman Winkler indicated that staff is presently looking at a program and Walmart will be returning on February 23rd for consideration. He suggested that this item also be brought back on February 23rd. He commented that Mr. Williams had raised some valid points and they would be reviewed. MOVED BY WINKLER, SECONDED BY CHERVENY AND CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE TO CONTINUE THIS ITEM FOR TWO WEEKS. Mr. Williams requested a copy of the report presented for that meeting as soon as possible to talk with the business people. Mr. Winkler indicated that it would be available the Friday before the meeting. PUBLIC COMMENTS - NON-AGENDIZED ITEMS None. EICECIITIVE DIRECTOR~B REPORT Executive Director Molendyk commented on recent statements concerning the Outlet Center and read the following letter to City Manager Ron Molendyk from Kenny M. Smith, Vice President, West Coast Operations, McArthur/Glen Group: Dear Ron: I was a bit taken back and very surprised today by your line of questioning about the outlet Center. Although i don't know whose comments prompted your questions. I am baffled as to how anyone who is at all familiar with our industry and the Lake Elsinore Center could suggest that the Center was doing anything other than tremendous business. The center had an excellent first year and a very strong holiday season. This center in particular has been in very high demand from it's conception. The first phase of the Lake Elsinore Center is the second largest first phase our company has ever built, and it was leased in record time. In fact it was so over subscribed with tenants wanting space that we fully leased the second phase before the first phase even opened. This allowed us to begin construction on the second phase just a few months after the openinq of the first stores. That is the shortest time lapse between phases of any of our centers anywhere in the country. The center's success and popularity with the tenants has kept demand very high. So high in fact, that all of the PAGE SEVEN - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINOTES - FEBRIIARY 9~ 1993 third phase stores are committed and we plan to begin construction on that phase as soon as the rainy season has passed. Again, another record for a third phase. This third phase will make Lake Elsinore 0utlet Center the largest McArthur Glen Group Outlet Center in the country, all within less than a three year period. This will mean that even though the center in Lake Elsinore was the last to open, it has grown faster and surpassed the size of both of the other major outlet centers in Southern CaliPornia, Barstow and Cabazon. So strong is this location, that we are currently working with your staff to expand the number of stores planned in this Center. As for any stores "closing", I have checked to see if any stores have actually closed in Lake Elsinore. As I mentioned to you on the phone, our industry has had some manufacturing companies bought and sold and therefore have had some store consolidation. Indeed this happened to be the case with one store in the first phase of the center in Lake Elsinore. There has only been one store "close" in that center and that was the Crisa Store. Corning Revere Company who already had a store leased in the second phase, purchased the Crisa company and therefore wanted to consolidate that new product line into their larger outlet store in Phase two. Since we have plenty of demand to fill their space, and they did not wish to operate two separate stores in the same center,.we allowed them to consolidate to their larger store in phase two and have released their space in phase one. There is one other company which has a store in Lake Elsinore which will be closing all 50 of their outlet stores across the country. However, we already have three other tenants who want their space in the Lake Elsinore center, and they have not even closed their store yet. I hope this helps to clarify our conversation. Please don't hesitate to call if you have any further questions. Sincerely, Kenny M. Smith BOARDMEMBER COMMENTS Boardmember Washburn advised that he met with Laura May Leach, the new librarian to address the future needs of the library. He indicated that she would be meeting with staff to evaluate future needs further. Boardmember Alongi commented on the Amber Ridge Sewer System consideration indicating that problems occur because the tendency is to address only the politically important areas. He further commented that the residents in the areas mentioned in item #7 need the assistance as much if not more than Amber Ridge. He also PAGE EIGHT - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINIITES - FEBRIIARY 9~ 1993 commented that he doesn't deny that Amber Ridge needed assistance, however, he is opposed to the method of payment. Boardmember Alongi advised that he had planned not to address the Recall this evening; however, if the Council/Board intends to keep discussing it they should be prepared for him to address it as ~ well. Boardmember Alongi commented further on the Avenues, noting that they already pay a fee to the water district and have for some time. He further commented that he knows he is sitting in conflict of interest by discussing this issue, but indicated that he is the only Boardmember willing to bring this issue forward.

He further explained that the current request is due to additional work and increases the total cost to $300,000 or $150,000 for the Developer and $150,000 for the Redevelopment Agency. Boardmember Cherveny inquired whether the Board could receive and accurate accounting of the money spent up to this point and questioned the $1.3 million figure, as well as the $200,000 recommendation from staff. Dan Young, Eastlake Community Builders, clarified that staff was allowing additional funds for any difficulties in processing the environmental documents. He stressed the size and complexity of the Eastlake Project and the environmental reviews and testing required. He suggested that the $200,000 was proposed as an outside limit for the balance of the work. He explained that complete breakdowns on the services rendered are presented as part of each billing. He also explained that by incorporating all concerns raised up front, they hoped to streamline the environmental process. Administrative Services Director Boone explained that the $200,000 represents the additional EIR costs prior to settling the 50/50 split. Mr. Young further clarified that he would x, PAGE THREE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - FEBRUARY 23~ 1993 predict that the final cost to the City would be $150,000, however the City contracts with the Chambers Group directly and this would cover the direct billings.

He stressed that each Boardmember has noted concerns and they have been pursued as necessary. Boardmember Alongi suggested that dollar figures be provided when discussing investigation of Boardmembers concerns.

Gunnerson/Riverside area. (F:134.Y0) City Manager Molendyk advised that this item had been brought back to the table by Boardmember Alongi for further consideration. Boardmember Alongi advised that he had brought this issue back because of the floodinq which has caused the need for a tremendous amount of septic tank pumping. He stressed the needs of this area and suggested that it needs to be addressed through pass-thru's to the Water District or a Redevelopment "` Agency Plan. He requested a work session to determine a plan of action. MOVED,BY WASHBURN, SECONDED BY WINKLER TO TABLE THIS ITEM TO ALLOW STAFF TO OBTAIN YNFORMATION AND LOOK AT A VIABLE PLAN.

He questioned the amount of property owned by Mr. Alongi in the areas addressed for sewering earlier in this meeting. Milt Freeman, Oak Grove Equities, thanked the Board for its consideration in continuing the public hearing on his project. He expressed concern that the Board does not have a complete understanding of his project. He noted that he would accept the Board's qoal and indicated that Walmart also would have the intent to hire local people. He further noted that this project would create 400 new jobs. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR~S REPORT Executive Director Molendyk explained that there was a letter submitted and presented the background regarding Skylark Airport and the runway flooding problems. Legal Counsel Harper advised that if the Board wished to consider this item it must be added to the agenda with a four-fifths vote. He then read the letter with proposed changes included as follows: Dear Sir, The City of Lake Elsinore has no objection to Skydive California and the California Department of Aeronautics determining an appropriate temporary runway at the Skylark field. This would be used during the period of flooding which prevents the use of existing runways. The proposed operations for the runway would be for skydiving only.

You must assure that your aircraft, as much as possible, make turn-outs to avoid over flying the housing southwest of the field. In the event that conditions call for a departure to the east, all aircraft must be able to turn prior to reaching Mission Trail and departing over the lake bed. Although we do not anticipate any additional liability, the City would require that you enter into a hold Harmless Agreement with the City. You may not use the D.C. 3, aircraft on this runway. The two twin Otters and one twin Cesnia may be used. All consideration for reduced noise levels must be taken as long as no.reduction in safety is caused. Executive Director Molendyk explained that Phase II of Jean Hayman Elementary School is under construction and they must be sure that this does not impact their site. MOVED BY WINKLER, SECONDED BY CHERVENY AND CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE TO CONSIDER TIiE CHANGE OF RUN WAYS AT SKYLARK FIELD MADE BY SKYDIVE CALIFORNIA, INC. Boardmember Alongi asked if Cal Trans had to approve this. Executive Director Molendyk explained that before Cal Trans would consider this issue there would have to be letters of local support. He further explained that Skydive California is trying to get letters of support from the School District and the City to allow a temporary alignment, to present to Cal Trans.

Boardmember Alongi commented that he doesn't feel anyone would disagree with the need for a theater, however he clarified that this project contemplates the use of Redevelopment Agency funds. He suggested that this project might be purchased for less on another site. He read the following letter from City Attorney Harper noting that the applicant is in foreclosure as grounds for his intent to vote against this project: Pursuant to your question and our discussion, I have been in contact with both Leonard O~Byrne of Camelot Properties and Steven Jenkins, Attorney for Wells Fargo Bank. As you are aware, Wells Fargo Bank has instituted foreclosure proceedings against Mr. O'Byrne, K-Mart and the City of Lake Elsinore Redevelopment Agency. It has been indicated to me by Mr. Jenkins that Wells Fargo has agreed to forestall prosecution of the foreclosure action for six months subject to certain conditions; specifically, making interest only payments to wells fargo, agreeing to certain stipulations with regard to the litigation and obtaining the consent of the Agency and K-Mart to the subject six month stay. As to the first two conditions, I understand that mr. O'Byrne has complied. While the Aqency has not formally stipulated to the stay, there is not incentive to do so. As a practical matter it would take substantially longer than.six months to prosecute the foreclosure action even if Wells Fargo determined to proceed. As to potential forms of assistance to Camelot, it is my understanding that the formation of a Community Facilities District is not feasible because of the ownership for the underlying fee by the errors of Mr. DePasquale. It is my understanding that Camelot is seeking assistance in the neighborhood of approximately 2.5 million dollars. It would not appear that there is presently sufficient non-pledged tax increment within the Redevelopment Agency as a whole to support that level of financing through bonded indebtedness. Mr. O'Byrne has suggested to Mr. Boone that he may be able to obtain conventional financing with the guarantee of a repayment in the event of his default by the Redevelopment Agency depending upon the structure of such an arrangement, this approach is probably workable. The debt service of that amount of money amortized over 30 years at nine percent annual interest rate would be approximately $200,000 per year. It would seem that the other types of assistance which the Agency might consider would be a direct grant from existing or future budgets, or forgiveness or sharing of sales tax or tax increment generated upon development of the property. While anticipated tax increment may not be a basis for issuing debt, a reimbursement from actual tax increment received might be workable. If you have other questions or comments, please don't hesitate to let me know. PAGE FIVE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINIITES - MARCH 2~ 1993 Boardmember Alongi noted that there had been problems on the first loan to Camelot Properties which had been discovered and resolved through efforts by Boardmember Cherveny. He expressed concern with taking a good investment such as the K- Mart project and impacting it by a lesser gaining project through commitment of sales tax dollars. He commented that this applicant is not a good candidate for more money. Boardmember pominguez addressed the concern for activities noted by Mr. Gill and commented on the previous theater. He advised that he has felt it to be a priority since the closing of the last theater. He stressed that the residents are saying they don't want to go to Temecula and noted that the cost per resident to assist this theater is probably less than the cost of the tank of gas to go to Temecula. Boardmember Cherveny supported the need for a theater project in the past and pushed for a theater on the Rancon site. She noted that in talking with Mr. Shaw of Rancon, she feels with $1.8 million in assistance they will break ground for a theater in May of this year. She explained that her biggest concern with this project is the cost involved and the financing that may be necessary to make it work. She commented that if this is how the community wants her to spend the money it will have her vote. She stressed that if tfie residents feel this is the most important project then she could not possibly vote no. Boardmember Washburn noted the current difficulty due to economics; but stressed the number of years the community has done without a theater. He stressed the positive factors of this project being creation of jobs, increased sales taxes in the area and the addressing of a community need. He noted that the subsidy requested, if broken down to the number of residents is only $5 per resident and questioned the public's willingness to pay this amount. There was nearly unanimous support from the persons in attendance. Chairman Winkler noted that Mr. Jeff Christoff was present representing Krikorian Premier Theaters. He further noted that this was difference between this project and others proposed in the City at present; the theater group was willing to siqn a contract and come to this site. He stressed that Rancon still does not have a contract for a theater. MOVED BY WINKLER, SECONDED BY CHERVENY TO DIRECT STAFF TO DRAW UP A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, SUBJECT TO APPROVAL BY THE CITY ATTORNEY, WHICH WILL ADDRESS THE CONCERNS WITH THE OUTSTANDING FORECLOSURE PROCEEDINGS AND FOLLOW THE SAME LINES OF THE PREVIOUS APPROVAL LAST YEAR. Boardmember Cherveny inquired when this project would break ground. Mr. O'Byrne advised he can be ready to proceed when the contract is in hand. He noted that work has already begun and they have a site plan; but breaking ground was dependant on obtaining the appropriate City approvals. He stressed that they will proceed as quickly as possible. THE FOREGOING MOTION CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.

Public Services Director Tecca indicated that 3 or 4 sites had been picked out in the floodplain.areas where there are permits and detailed the locations.

He stressed,- the ne~d to entice business 'to this major intersection. Boardmember Cherveny indicated that question of this meeting is not whether the community wants Walmarf, anymore than the question of whether they want a theater; rather a questioned of how much they are willing to pay for a Walmart or a theater. She stressed the current status of the economy. She questioned the recent changes which would make Mr. Washburn eligible to vote on this item. Boardmember Alongi addressed comments by Chairman Winkler regarding the April, 1992, Sun-Tribune article and suggested that the Sun-Tribune has a habit of editing people's comments. He questioned Chairman Winkler~s partnership in this property that Walmart wants to build on.

He addressed a recent letter to the editor from Mrs. Grucella clarifying that his mobile home park project is not low income and would do much to improve the existing slums. Mr. Alongi concurred that he is a loose cannon and indicated that the Sun Tribune Editor Charles Hand is a liar and the Council is irresponsible. He wished Mayor Washburn well in the recall election, but noted that he does not deserve the vote of the community. Boardmember Washburn commented that he has done much to contribute , to the community. He addressed a flier which indicates it will cost $34 million to take over the Lake. He noted that this is an incorrect number, actual operation costs are under $1 million, upgrading of facilities is estimated at $6 million and clarified that the cost will be passed on to the users not the taxpayers. Chairman Winkler indicated that Boardmembers Alongi and Cherveny had worked with Executive Director Molendyk in putting the formula for Walmart together, but have now changed their vote.

Leon Strigotte, 216Chaney Street, reminded the Agency of the background and played a tape of the section of the meeting in which Boardmember Alongi stated that he would assist by being one of the persons to guarantee a part of the loan in order to secure it. Boardmember Alongi stated that he would stand by that comment. Boardmember Cherveny explained that the reason that she moved to forgive the loan was two fold. One reason is that this has been a very generous Redevelopment Agency; and second this is the City's way to show compassion to an all volunteer organization who~s only motive is to benefit the community. Chairman Winkler explained that a fund-raising event will be held on April 17, to raise money and he stated he would like =w to come back in about a month and reconsider the options. Boardmember pominguez stated that what is before the Board is business at hand and that is what is being recommended and the Board should act on that.

He called for the Board to give back to the community and consider the request of the Western Classic Productions. He further stated that the functions of Western Classic Productions were for the community, run by volunteers and he will honor his obligations to Western Classic Productions, but he still felt that the loan should be forgiven. PAGE THREE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - MARCH 23~ 1993 Chairman Winkler stated that he understood Boardmember Alongi's points, but 'he still felt that this item should be brought back the last meeting in April, since they are holding a fund-raiser to help.repay the loan, and he felt that the Agency should wait`uritil that function is over, before the Agency makes a decision. Boardmember Cherveny explained that Western Classic Production did not have a loss of just the $18,000. That the financial statement showed a loss of $45,987. She stated that all the fund raisers that they do will be to pay off the other $20,000.

She further stated that the projected amount anticipated by the theater would not be enough to make the loan payment. She asked that the grants be struck from the agreement.

BUSINESS ITEM Lake Transfer Aareement.(F:68.1)(X:92.1) Councilman Winkler commented on the ongoing process to obtain the Lake Transfer Agreement and advised that he had been in Sacramento negotiating on Friday, March 26 and Monday, March 29, with the final document faxed this date. He noted that there was a separate underlying agreement for lake operations. He read the following memo from Gregory V. Moser, Special Counsel dated March 30, 1993: The State of California has proposed an aqreement to transfer the Lake Elsinore Recreation Area. It is my understanding that this proposal is being provided concurrently to the City and the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District. This memorandum summarizes the most significant features of this aqreement. Lake Transfer. The Lake Elsinore Recreation Area would be transferred to the City of Lake Elsinore as of July 1, 1993. At that time, the City would receive from the State $1.5 million to be used in connection with the lake. The City would also accept an assignment of the concession agreement from the State; however, the State would remain responsible for the current litigation with the concessionaire over the payment of certain fees. ,:: The City will receive title to the lake, the exclusive right to the use of the surface of the lake, and the PAGE TWO - JOINT SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES - MARCH 30~ 1993 ~ right to add or remove water from the lake for recreation , aesthetic purposes. This is in precise accord with the agreement between the .City and the Elsinore Valley Munioipal Water District. The City would be obligated to use these assets for public park and recreation purposes; if it fails to do so, the State of California could reenter the property. Patrol Services and Management. Under a related agreement, the State will continue to provide the current level of park patrol and management services through June 30, 1994. Thereafter, the City would gradually increase its role in lake patrol and management until it becomes fully responsible in October, 1995. The State would also provide the equipment currently being used at the lake to the City. water Rights. The State would reserve, for subsequent grant to the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, its water rights, and an easement to store water in the lake above the 1240' elevation, and the riqht to use the island wells, in precise accordance with the language of the agreement between the City and District. The District's easements for water storage, water rights and the use of the island wells would have to be used in a manner consistent with the City~s use of the Lake Elsinore Recreation Area for public park and recreation purposes, or be subject to reversion to the State, just as the City~s rights are. These property rights would not include the right to use the surface of the lake, which is specifically reserved to the City. Upon execution of this proposed agreement with the State by the City, and its approval by the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, the City would have an obligation to pay $3 million to the District, under the terms of the City-District agreement. Councilman Winkler noted that since this was a business item, public comments were not necessary, but yielded the floor to those ' requesting to speak. Ken Van Vechtan, representing Supervisor Bob Buster read the following letter to Mayor Washburn from the Supervisor dated March 30, 1993: It is with grave concern that I am writing in regard to the pending lake transfer agreement. While I support -Y local control of Lake Elsinore, I am bothered by the timing of this meeting, the dearth of information regarding the transfer and the inability of the pubic to properly review and comment on this particular transfer agreement. 2 am specifically concerned about the following: * As of l0 a.m. this morning, the City, hence Riverside County, other local agencies and interested residents, did not have in its possession a copy of the agreement. It troubles me that such an important decision would be contemplated without the public and affected agencies PAGE THREE - JOINT SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES - MARCH 30~ 1993 having the full and complete opportunity to review the document. * City staff comments aside, the County and residents of the unincorporated areas do have a vested interest in the lake transfer and what transpires in its aftermath. Land-use in adjoining areas, recreational development and launch rights are but three areas of concern that are directly affected by lake ownership. * Public utterances notwithstanding, the City appears to have done little to assuage public fears that launch rights will cease when the City assumes control of the lake. The City has even gone so far as to seek outside legal counsel's opinion on launch rights, and that opinion does not bode well for Lakeland Village residents. I do not advocate a free-for-all on Lake Elsinore. The City will need to police the lake and control the use of it. However, I cannot sit idly by and watch County residents being denied access to the lake. * When transfer negotiations began, the City was required to develop a lake use, development and recreation plan. No such plan exists, nor does it appear as if one will be required. However, the City is proceeding with the Lake Edge Specific Plan. 2 continue to be willing to work with the City on Lake Edge, but only with the continued input of Lakeland Village residents. I empathize with the City's desire to secure the lake. However, a transfer authorized today will prove no more beneficial to the community than one authorized next week, or next month. It would be inappropriate.to take precipitous action on a document few people have seen. The importance of this issue demands a full public accounting. To that end, I hope that you will postpone a decision on this matter and join with me in co- sponsoring public hearings on this version of the lake transfer agreement. Thank you for your time and best wishes to you and the Council. I look forward to hearing from you on my concerns and my offer. Carol Shackleford, 16022 Grand Avenue, representing Weekend Paradise R.V. Park, echoed the comments of Supervisor Buster. She commented on the process which was to include working with the County. She stressed the rights of the residents to have lake and beach rights. Bob Williams, P.O. Box 519, commented that he had not seen the agreement. He indicated that Councilman Winkler is his attorney and expressed concern that this agreement would impact his property holdings and water rights. Lela Cardoza, 300 Ellis, questioned the hurry for this meeting. She commented that she was surprised that Councilman Dominguez would allow Councilmembers Winkler and Washburn to tell him how to vote. She suggested more time be taken for this decision. ,~: PAGE FOUR - SPECIAL JOINT MEETING MINUTES - MARCH 30~ 1993 B.J. Grant, questioned whether there were side-line agreements to this contract. Ae suggested that the Council had not fulfilled its obligations to the State under AB 1697, to meet and negotiate with the County residents. Ken Howard, 17540 Grand Avenue, commented on the Lake Edge Plan and the zoning for the south shore. He suggested that the Mayor had used his authority to do Collier Avenue for the outlet Center to draw businesses selling foreign merchandise. He stressed that the County residents are entitled to their launch rights due to the high prices paid for their property. He commented on population estimates for the future and noted that the lake is already too small for the population. Helena Holman, addressed Mayor Pro Tem Dominguez suggesting that the credit deserved is not being given. She noted that if Mayor Washburn is recalled then Mr. Dominguez will be the Mayor and receive the feedback and consequences of this agreement. Marge Rieder, 300 Ellis, questioned the big deal of lake ownership. She stressed the difficulties in keeping water in the lake and the concerns with seclaimed water use. Leon Strigotte, 216 Chaney Street, commented on the County residents who don't want to be in the City limits, but want to dictate to the City. He indicated that this agreement is the result of a long term effort. He noted that he did not hear that the agreement intended to cut out launch rights. He stressed the importance of this agreement, in allowing the City to control the lake and clean it up. He stressed that this is the culmination of 13 years of negotiations and discussions. He further stressed that he had heard fio mention of loss of launch rights. Dick Knapp, 29690 Dwan, indicated that he was uncertain what was occurring and questioned 'the receipt of this document. He questioned the level of planning on this issue and suggested that the Council wait to approve the contract. Edith Stafford, commented that this action supports her belief that the recall is the right action. She hoped for the Council to use their conscience in voting on this issue. She demanded that the County residents and the City residents be provided with the document. She further demanded that she see a copy of the agreement before action is taken. Chris Hyland, 15191 Wavecrest, asked why this meeting was being held. She questioned the remaining town hall meetings on the lake , =.~ and why the City could not wait for this action. She suggested that everything had oocurred behind closed doors. Daniel Orrey, 150 E. Lakeshore, indicated that he was appalled that the Council would consider a document of this magnitude without reviewing it. He stressed the importance of the Lake for the Community. He asked for consideration of tabling this agreement for further study. Peter Dawson, 1801o Grand Avenue, representing Southshore Homeowners Association, commented on the 500 water front residents in the County area versus 7 in the City:' He stressed the concerns of the County residents, indicating that the Southshore Homeowners _._ __ . _ _ _ __ _ _ _ . _ __ PAGE FIVE - SPECIAL JOINT MEETING MINUTES - MARCH 30~ 1993 Association is not comfortable with this approval without an agreement on their launch"rights. He requested that the Council allow time for the inspection of the document. Councilman Winkler commented on proposed agreement indicating that it does more than transfer the lake from the State to the City; it incorporates the City/Water District Agreement, which nothing in this aqreement would intend to change. He explained that launch rights are not an issue of the transfer itself, noting that any rights held by the State will be acquired. He noted that the Lake Edge Specific Plan was still being reviewed, and a letter has been sent to County residents by the Mayor indicating that launch rights should be protected. He indicated that the only other issue in this agreement is the payment of $1.5 million to the City from a 1986 Bond issue. He noted that this transfer was his goal when he assumed the Chairmanship of the Redevelopment Agency. He stressed that his meeting with the State was to wrap up pending issues. He detailed the levels of service to be provided by the State through the transfer and equipment to be provided by the State.

Councilman Winkler noted that another issue of urgency is the recall election being held this date. He suggested that if the recall is successful the City may close down and he wants to ensure that the agreements are finalized. THE SUBSIDIARY MOTION WAS APPROVED BY A VOTE OF 3 TO 0 WITH ALONGI AND CHERVENY ABSTAINING FROM VOTE.

Mr. Washburn stated that it was part of the motion. Legal Counsel/City Attorney Harper reminded the Board that they would need to have separate actions on the part of the Itedevelopment Agency and the City and there would need to be separate action on each Ordinance. Boardmember/Mayor Washburn advised that he would like to see the following changes to the Disposition and Development Agreement: Y. The Lake Management Wetland Mitiga~ion area addressed by staff removing 1000 units from the land use territory; he would like to see that redefined in the DDA and he doesn't want to see a misunderstanding. 2. &ie would like to see conformity in the wording of the DDA on page 14 in the third paragraph relating to Agency property the word "agrees to sell" to "may sell". 3. Page 19 of the DDA, drop Level 3 Price from the Agreement completelye 4. Page 51, item B of the DDA, the City shoulci get credit for any information that the City has or will supply to the developer. 5. Page 54, line 5, of the DDA, credit should be given to the City for any allocation that is passed through.

Boardmember/Mayor Washburn explained that of these his biggest concern is seeing the number of units reduced for the wetlands. Legal Counsel/City Attorney Harper explained that the territory covered by the DDA and the Specific Plan should be kept in mind. Boardmember/Mayor Washburn requested that the letter regarding the stadium be included as part of the record and as part of the DDA. Legal Counsel/City Attorney Harper explained that this letter addresses the issue that should the stadium be financed, they will stand an obligation to loan $10,000,000. MOVED BY WASHBORN' SECONDED BY WINRLER TO AMEND THE MOTION TO REFLECT THE CHANGES TO THE DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT REQUESTED BY MAYOR WA3HBIIRN ABOVE. Boardmember/Councilwoman Cherveny stated that Page 54, E., 1, does not set a time limit for a loan and suggested that a time period be added to the record along with the letter regarding the stadium. She questioned the presumed elevation of the lake. Mr. Young e~lained the process of the project and the subject of high water mark of the lake. Mr. Young further explained that a letter from the Army Corp of Enqineers stated that the level of the high water mark is now at 1260' and what the letter states is that after the levee was built the elevation is in question. Boardmember/Councilwoman Cherveny questioned the letter dated April 14, 1993, from the Army Corp of Engineers, sent to the Public Services Director, regarding the E.I.R. Mr. Young explained that the letter stated the items that the Army Corps of Engineers may wish to look at. Mrs. Cherveny stated her concerns reqarding the questions that were raised by the different agencies. Mr. Young advised that his company had responded to the different agencys' concerns to their satisfaction at this time and will comply with any future requests. Boardmember/Councilman Alongi questioned the requirements of the Corps of Engineers and their concerns, and what impact they will have on the project. His concerns included the flood capacity, the Environmental Ympact Statement and high water mark along with the development of the wetlands. He further questioned the permit reviews noting that because of his concerns he feels that the E.Y.R. is not adequate and no E.I.S. has been prepared. Mr. Young stated that the concerns of the Army Corps of Engineers address Lake Management and not specifically the East Lake Project. Boardmember/Councilman Alongi stated that he did not have a problem with approving the design o£ the project, but rather approving a project with PAGE SI$ ~ REDE9ELOPMEbT'1° AGENCY MINIITES - I+IP,y 25~ ~993 an incomplete E.Y.R. ~ Boardmember/Councilwoman Cherveny noted that the Board adjourns at 11:00 p.m. and it was now 11:05 p.m. Chairman/Councilman Winkler stated that the hearing started at 10:30 p.m. and should proceed until it is complete, but no new matters should be startedo Boardmember/Mayor Washburn stated that the concerns of the Army Corps of Engineers are regarding the Lake Management Project and the Wetlands which is part of that project and slated to be comple~ed in 1994.

PUBLIC COMMENT3 - AGENDIZED ITEMS The following item was requested and deferred to that time in this meeting: #3 CONSENT CALENDAR MOVED BY CHERVENY, SECONDED BY ALONGI AND CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE TO APPROVE THE CONSENT CALENDAR AS PRESENTED. 1. The following Minutes were approved: a. Redevelopment Agency Meeting - May 25, 1993. (F:134.3) 2, Ratified Warrant List for May 27, 1993. (F:12.3) BOSINESS ITEM~ 3. Award of Contract - San Jacinto xlver c;nannel ~onsLruccion - Paul Hubbs Construction Comnany. (F:156.2) Chairman Winkler asked those persons who made requests to speak to come forward as follows: Sam Alhadeff, American Construction, Inc., 27555 Ynez Rd., Temecula explained that his client American Contracting was notified on June 2, 1993, by Public Services Director Tecca that his company, which was the low bidder, was going to be disqualified because of an unbalanced bid and the bid would be awarded to the second low bidder. He submitted evidence and testimony of fhe bid to the City Council. He asked that Council continue this item until they have had the opportunity f.o review this item. ASr. Alhadeff stated that the issues are 1) what is the word unbalanced, 2) how was it applied and 3) should the matter be continued so that this bid be reviewed further. Keith Candee, American Contracting, Inc., 30011 Via Valdez, Temecula, asked that Council review the bid and view it in a fair manner. PAGE TWO - REDEVELOPMENT AGENC% MINIITES - JIINE 8~ Y993 Chairman Winkler called on Mr. Tecca to clarify this mattere Public Services Director Tecca stated that in the bid papers an unbalanced bid is cause to reject the bid. Mr. Tecca quoted bid prices of the three lowest bidders and explained the discrepancies between the bids. Mr. Tecca stated that according to the bid documents he can delete the removal of the dyke because there is going to be a bridge constructed ' with American Contracting there would be a savings of $500, however if the Bridge contractor removes the dyke it will cost approximately $7,000 to $10,000, for a considerable loss by the City. This is an improper amount and does not allow his department to adjust for the two contractors. Boardmember Washburn questioned the removal of the dyke and why the cost is out of line. Mr. Tecca explained that it will cost much more than the American Contracting bid, Eublic Services Director Tecca explained that there were several areas which were out of balance in the bid documento Another discrepancy is the section on filter beddingo Mr. Alhadeff stated that there seems to be misunderstandings and inconsistency in regard to the bid and he suggested that this project be rebid, giving all bidders an egual opportunity. Boardmember Alongi asked Mr. Tecca if the $500. for removal of the dyke is low, why wou3d this constitute a probleme Public Services Director Tecca stated that other items are raised higher to cover the cost of tfie bid and the low one is made up for in that way. He further explained that should he decide to have the bridge contractor remove the dyke because of construction of the bridge, then it would make the cost much higher for both projects, because the bridge contractor would charge approximately $7,000 to $10,000 for the removal of the dyke. Legal Counsel Harper stated that this should go into closed session for discussion of the law that goes in~o the award of these types of contracts. Executive Director Molendyk explained that next Thursday there will not be enough Council available to have a quorum, therefore it is his recommendation to hold the meeting on June 15, at 3:00 in order to discuss these items and to review the Agreement received from Ken Edwards regarding the Outflow Channel, Boardmember Alongi asked Public Services Director Tecca to explain the Sand Bedding and Filter Fabric and where ~he rock came from on the other bid.

BUSINESS/DISCIISSION ITEM 1. The Lake. (F:92.1) City Manager Molendyk noted the meeting held on Tuesday, June 15, 1993, and its adjournment to this date to further review the options for dealing with the algae in the Lake. He also noted that this date there would be an additional spot treatment along the shoreline. Ae reminded Council that there are basically two alternatives for cleaning up the Lake being copper sulfate or Bac-Terra. He advised Council that Dr. Donald Sutton was in attendance today to comment on the use of micro-organisms in treatment of the algae. Manager of Special Projects Watenpaugh commented on his contacts with Dr. Sutton and detailed his experience with micro-organisms. He noted that data had been received from eleven companies offering solutions to the existing problem. He explained that the algae present is blue-green and he had discussed the long and short term solutions with Dr. Sutton. He further explained that this treatment would solve the problem without some of the serious side effects of copper sulfate. City Manager Molendyk summarized the options and noted that the cost for copper sulfate would be approximately $300,000 with no guarantees and Bac-Terra would be approximately $400,000 with annual treatments for maintenance. Dr. Donald Sutton indicated that he is a professor at Cal State Fullerton and President of Environ Associates. He commended City Manager Molendyk and Manager of Special PAGE TWO - JOINT MEETING MINUTES - JDNE 180 1993 Projects Watenpaugh on the research which has been completed to date into the possible solutions, indicating that the City has a good grasp of the options. He explained that copper sulfate is widely used, but not in cases like Lake Elsinore, because it is a unique body of water which can be compared to a sink. He further explained that the cost of copper sulfate is very high and it has a tendency to accumulate and prevent the growth of fish and other small organisms. He also explained that micro-organisms have not been used in a body of water this size yet, however they are self limiting and do not create a cumulative problem like copper sulfate. He noted that this treatment is used on reservoirs and decorative ponds and wastewater treatment facilities. He further noted the comparison between the characteristics of the Lake and the wastewater facilities. He suggested that if started early enough the organisms could get ahead of the algae growth. He explained the formation and characteristics of algae. City Manaqer Molendyk inquired whether the wastewater plants were similar to the lake in that they have no circulation, Dr. Sutton confirmed, indicating that the wastewater plants are good models. He stressed that based on that analogy he is confident that the problem can be solved and indicated that he had provided a proposal to consult as a micro-biologist to assist the City in selecting the property types of bacteria for this treatment. City Manager Molendyk noted that algae blooms are not generally expected this early in the year and stressed the efforts to eliminate the problem before July 4th, as well as the transfer of responsibility on July ist. He expressed concern with the variety of solutions and products being proposed to solve the problem, and the ability to make the most effective choice. He supported the use of a bioloqist to supplement staff and assure the treatment will be successfulo Mayor Washburn questioned the management of the eco-system and what the long term maintenance problems would be and what type of ongoing maintenance would be required. Dr. Sutton noted that the first step was the Lake Management Plan and now it is important to move into addressing the biology and the naturally occurring qualities of the Lake. He explained that the long term goal is to create a balanced eco-system that is both attractive and productivee Mayor Pro Tem Dominguez questioned the impact of plant life on the existing problem. Dr. Sutton indicated that he was not sure of the volume of growth in the Lake. Mr. Dominguez clarified his question and asked what the impact of grasses and trees which are now submerged and whether they were causing the algae. Dr. Sutton indicated that the decomposition of those plants is probably contributing to the problem. Mayor Pro Tem Dominquez inquired whether the bacteria will clear the water and get rid of that plant life. Dr. Sutton indicated that the plant life along the shoreline which is inundated should be removed to prevent further decay, although the bacteria will also work at that process. He explained that as in wastewater treatment will include use a large amount of bacteria initially with follow-up smaller amounts until the problem is under control. He further explained that PAGE THREE - JOINT MEETING MINUTES - JONE 18~ 1993 after that, relatively small amounts will be needed to stay ahead of the growth. Councilman Winkler inquired whether it was possible to test and determine whether the right solution has been used and when more is needed. Dr. Sutton commented that it is an empirical process and if the desired results are not reached additional treatment would be used. City Manager Molendyk clarified that potentially the additional increments would be less; and with a balanced system the even less might be needed. FIe stressed that right now it is like caring for a large aquarium, Mayor Washburn inquired whether copper sulfate and its derivatives used now would later kill the bacteria. Dr, Sutton indicated that the algae is more sensitive to copper sulfate than the bacteria. Mayor Washburn questioned the time frame for the clean up. Dr. Sutton indicated that 3 to 4 weeks will determine the xesult, as the results are not guaranteed. He noted that from experience with wastewater treatment it is good to use a 90 day proqram. He stressed that the results could be worse in the short termo City Manager Molendyk inquired whether based on Dr. Sutton's e~tperience with copper sulfate, the Bac-Terra would be a better investment. Dr. Sutton indicated that as a biologist he believes so, and expressed concern with the long range impact of copper sulfate. Manager of Special Projects Watenpaugh noted that a possible approach would be the massive dose of micro-orqanisms and spot treatment of the shoreline and problem areas with copper sulfate. He stressed that a key problem is that the lake has not been managed previously. City Manager Molendyk commented on the need to do something to address the algae for the benefit of the Community and asked in recognition of this concern what Dr. Sutton~s best recommendation would be. Dro Sutton expressed understanding of this concern. Mayor Pro Tem Dominguez inquired whether the weekly spraying could continue in conjunction with the micro-organisms. City Manager Molendyk indicated that until the organisms take effect, the weekly applications could continue in the meantime. Dr. Sutton concurred that this could be done. Councilman Winkler questioned the public impact of micro- organisms on people and whether they could continue to use the lake during treatment. Dr. Sutton indicated that he could not say that all bacteria is harmless, but those he is aware of are harmless. He further indicated that he had only reviewed ~wo of the proposals presented to date. Councilman Alongi questioned the floodplain and the inflow channel and the timing of treatment for a lake with continuous feed. He further questioned the associated costs and when the algae starts to bloom. Dr. Sutton indicated that algae requires sunlight and will start to develop as soon as , PAGE FOIIR - JO%N'I' MEETING MINIITES - JONE 18, 1993 the temperatures begin to rise and nitrogen and phosphorous are present. He suggested that March would be a good time to treat to get ahead of the growth. Councilman Alongi questioned the cost to treat the lake for this year for approximately 3 more months. Dro Sutton indicated that he has seen proposals in the range of $300,000 to $400,000. Councilman Alongi inquired if the treatment was started next March, would smaller doses be required, at less e~tpense. Dr. Sutton indicated that there would be some effect yet this year with a large dosage and follow-up treatments. City Manager Molendyk indicated that he didn't hear Dr. Sutton saying that the City would be throwing money down the drain by proceeding now. He stressed tfiat it would provide some control and questioned what could be anticipated if treatment does not begin until March. Dr. Sutton indicated that there are many examples of bacteria controlling odor. Mr. Molendyk inquired.if treatment were held off until March, would another form of treatment be necessary to control odor. Mayor Pro Tem Dominguez commented that the large dosage will be needed, but suggested it was important ~o address the appropriate timing. Dr. Sutton indicated that June would be better than July or August. Councilman Alongi inquired if the treatment were postponed to March, whether a smaller dose would be adequate because it is ahead of the growth. Dr. Sutton indicated that a fairly large dose would still be necessary in March. Councilman Alongi questioned the chance of solving the current problem by September. Dr. Sutton indicated it was a"pretty good" chance. Councilman Alongi questioned the results of applying the treatment in Marche Dr. Sutton indicated this was also a~~pretty good" chance of controlling the algae. Manager of Special Projects Watenpaugh asked if the lake is not treated now, how many more blooms of the blue-green algae could be expected this summer. Dr. Sutton indicated that it would bloom continuously. Mr. Watenpaugh inquired how many more blooms could occur before a major fish kill would occure Dr. Sutton indicated that a fish kill would occur by approximately Labor Daye City Treasurer Pape questioned the life span of the micro- organisms. Dr. Sutton indicated that many will still be presenf in the spring. Mr. Pape inquired whether reproduction would occur. Dr. Sutton indicated that it would occur and help to establish a base. He noted that in his opinion, anything done this year will give a head start on next year's treatment. Public Services Director Tecca questioned the potential for fish kill and the comparative impacts of copper sulfate versus bacteriao Dr. Sutton indicated that there was a chance of fish kill wi~h either method, however some bacteria will create oxygen in the process of breaking down the algae and basically help maintain the fish. ___ _ _ _ _ _ _: _ _ _ PAGE FIVE - JOINT MEETING MINIITES - JUNE 18~ 1993 City Manager Molendyk indicated that he would still be interested in retaining Dr. Sutton as counsel to get through the process and look at annual maintenance needs. He questioned the soonest date application could begin. Manager of Special Projects Watenpaugh advised that they would need to review the proposals to assure that they are appropriate.and depending on those findings, at least one company does have enough product available to proceed immediately. He indicated that he could have a direction by Monday and develop a contract as soon as Monday or Tuesday and application could potentially begin within two weeks from today. MOVED BY WASHBURN, SECONDED BY DOMINGUEZ AND CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE OF THOSE PRESENT TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH DR. SUTTON FOR BIOLOGICAL CONSULTATION. Councilman Winkler inquired what additional action should be taken with regard to contracting with a company to provide the treatment. He suggested that it would not be necessary to come back to Council on Tuesday, if staff is ready to proceed on Monday. He indicated that staff should be authorized to negotiate and execute a contract. MOVED BY WINKLER, SECONDED BY WASHBURN TO AUTHORIZE STAFF TO NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE AN APPROPRIATE CONTRACT FOR TREATMENT. City Manaqer Molendyk requested clarification that staff is to look at the products and the prices. He noted that as professional services, it is not necessary to go to bid like a public works contract. He commented on the funding which would be from the Redevelopment Agency and noted contact with Ken Jones at the State to check the potential for using part of the $1.5 for reimbursement of this expense. Mr. Jones was to investigate and respond. Councilman Winkler noted that adequate funds are in the reserves if necessary. Councilman Alongi noted his concern with where the money will come from. He indicated that it was not Redevelopment Agency funds, it was general fund money and if there is no guarantee he would not be in favor of this expenditure. He further indicated that there are other areas where $400,000 could be used. He stressed the need to find a solution based on facts and data. He indicated that he would not appreciate a solution for which reimbursement could not be e~cpected and noted that the entire community does not benefit from the Lake. Mayor Washburn disagreed, stating that the entire community does enjoy the Lake, if only for its aesthetics. Councilman Alongi concurred. Mayor Washburn indicated that he felt the opinion of the Dr. Sutton was that the treatment will work, with the only variable being the size of the Lake. Manager of Special Projects Watenpauqh indicated that many people have proposed an additional $1 per launch to help fund this expense. Councilman Alongi expressed concern that this decision to proceed would be based on nothing written. He stressed the tight budget, which has no money for housing. He further PAGE SY% - JOYNT MEETING MYNUTES - JIINE 18e 1993 ~ stressed that this application would not address the channel or the floodplain and noted that the lake is not a controlled body of watero Mayor Washburn questioned the potential of water from the floodplain reimpacting the lake after it has been treated and why there would be more algae in the floodplain area. Dr. Sutton indicated that there is most likely a higher content of nitrogen and phosphorous in that area, but noted the success of this treatment in sewage ponds where those items are also found in high concentrations. City Manager Molendyk noted a pipe under the levee which could be closed. He indicated that the intent would be treat the channel, the lake and some of the larger storm drains. He clarified that Redevelopment Agency would loan the funds to the City. He directed staff to contact the Mosquito Abatement District and coordinate spraying to get rid of the flies and gnats being drawn by ~he algae. He advised the Council that he would be coordinating an information update with King 3~o , inform the community of this action. Mayor Pro Tem Dominguez indicated that Mr. Watenpaugh should be directed to proceed with the weekly applications in the meantime. Councilman Winkler indicated that he was looking to allow staff to act as soon as possible, with a broad enough motion. THE FOREGOING MOTYON CARRIED BY A VOTE OF 3 TO 1 WITH ALONGY CASTING THE DISSENTING VOTE AND CHERVENY ABSENT. Mayor Washburn inquired whether authorization for transfer of funds was needed. Administrative Services Director Boone indicated that he would suggest $25,000 for the balance of the fiscal year. He indicated that the $1.5 million would be addressed in the next budget year. Mayor Washburn suggested that funds might be needed to start the application before the end of the fiscal year. Councilman Alongi inquired with this treatmen~ beginning, whether the weekend sprayings will still be necessary. I~Ir, Watenpaugh sugqested that they continue at least along the shoreline. Councilman Alongi expressed concern with spending $5,000 per weekend for 90 days, for results that are uncertain. He stressed that this would be a tremendous amount of money for something the experts can not guarantee will work. He also stressed the need gor funds to do housing. City Manager Molendyk clarified that the City will be taking over the Lake and the related responsibilities, because they have not been properly managed in the past. He stressed the potential solutions and the long and short term po~ential impact. Mayor Washburn commented that the Lake will only be successful with a certain amount of water quality. He stressed that the boats are here on the weekends now and he would look to , continuing thato He stressed the long term approach must be a full balancing of the eco-system. Councilman Alongi concurred with this philosophy, but suggested that it be started in March rather than now. He opposed this action to proceed. PAGE SEVEN - JOINT MEETING MINIITES - JiJNE 180 1993 Mayor Pro Tem Dominguez indicated that the Lake is the Community and this action would need to be taken sooner or later anywayo He stressed that the Community needs action now. Councilman Alongi further suggested that this work start in March. He stressed his disagreement that the Lake is not the total Community. He indicated that if the program is not working in March, there will be time to adjust it or abandon it. He stressed the need to make business deals. He indicated that he agrees this project is needed, but disagrees with the process. He recommended continued spraying with the treatment to begin next yearo Mayor Washburn indicated that while there are no guarantees, that is the empirical nature of scientists, based on the potential for theories to change. He stressed that he was hearing that this treatment would most likely be successful. MOVED BY WASHBURN, SECONDED BY DOMINGUEZ AND CARRIED BY A VOTE OF 3 TO 1 WITH ALONGI CASTING THE DISSENTING VOTE AND CHERVENY ABSENT TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO TRANSFER FUNDS AS A LOAN TO THE LAKE ENTERPRISE ACCOUNT IN AN AMOUNT UP TO $400,000. Mayor Washburn questioned the revenue and fee issues related to the Lake. Mayor Pro Tem Dominguez suggested that this be discussed after the transfer has occurred. Mayor Washburn requested that staff look at costs and charges at other lakes. Councilman Winkler suggested that this information be provided in the upcoming weeks through updates to Council. Mayor Washburn noted that Mr. Watenpaugh is working on a Master Plan of the Lake needs, uses and potential revenue sources. City Manager Molendyk noted that efforts are underway to hire boat launch staff and make other necessary arrangements for the transfer.

He advised that the working drawings are presently 80 to 90% complete. Fie noted some slight variations in the overall Eastlake Plan which assisted in obtaining approval to proceed above 1260~ without a 404 permit. He clarified that the site had been moved, because one-half of it was below the 1260° elevation, and it was more timely to move the site, than pursue a 404 permit. He pointed out the new site and noted that it was actually a better site in that it was further from existing residential properties and it was closer to an existing major arterial highway. He noted that the limitation below 1260a was one fhat would be reconsidered by the Corps of Engineers, when the Lake Management Project is complete. Brian Meyers, Project Manager, Young Investment Group, presented slides regarding design and feasibility of the proposed stadium. He noted that the model is currently 75o complete.

He indicated that special attention has been given ~o ease in parking, adequate public address system and space for larqer events. Commissioner Wilsey inquired whether the parking lots would have landscaped medians and planters, suggesting that they not be included to allow flexibility for R.V. and Boat Shows. Councilman/Boardmember Alonqi arrived at 2:58 p.m. Mr. Young indicated that there are no planters or medians intended for the parking lot, in an effort to allow flexibility as suggested by the Commissioner. He noted critical landscape areas alonq the arterial roads. He noted the offer of Mr. Murdock, which will allow for a very classic brick design. He stressed the importance of the community acknowledging this contribution. Councilwoman/Boardmember Cherveny questioned the amount of parking in each lot. Mr. Meyers indicated that the design was for 800 spaces adjacent to the Stadium and 1,500 across the street. Iie explained the pedestrian crossing and noted the need for additional consideration to assure safety. Mrs. Cherveny inquired whether there was the potential for a pede~trian overcrossing. Mr. Meyers indicated that was not the intent at this time, because of the cost. Mr. Young noted the packet of information provided and business plan included.

Mr. Young indicated that efforts are proceeding to bring a facilities management contract which will create private sector opportunities. He reminded the Council that the only necessary action today is the contract amendment to allow for additional work associated with the site change. Councilwoman/Boardmember Cherveny inquired whether this would need ~o be City or Redevelopment Agency Action. City Attorney/Legal Counsel Harper indicated that the original contract was with the Redevelopment Agency and this action should be as well. Mrs, Cherveny inquired whether adequate funds were available. City Manager/Executive Director Molendyk indicated that based on the latest State budget figures ~.ere would be funds available. He further indicated that there would be a potential for recouping these funds when the bonds are sold.

Mr. Molendyk, indicated as the City administrator he would caution Council that the City is operating with less employees and a greater population demanding services. He further noted that the City has made a conscious effort to increase Law Enforcement, ~ PAGE TWO - JOINT BUDGET WORRS$OP ~ JUL% 1v 1993 ~ however it has slowed down due to the budget restraints. Mr. Molendyk commented on available one time funds and stated that there were several projects proposed for this one time expenditure which is a separate consideration from the yearly operating costs which must come from the General Fund. He detailed alternatives for these funds to be used gor Police overtime and Community Service officers. City Manager Molendyk explained the Redevelopment Agency projected budget and revenues. Ae detailed the projects which have been proposed for funds from ~he Redevelopment Agency as well as , anticipated expenditures which the City might expect. He further explained that there will most likely be additional funds cut by the State next year and this will have to be considered in approaching the expenditure of funds on more than a one time basis. He suggested that the $2.6 million in Redevelopment Agency funds that are not presently designated should be kept open to cover the unexpected costs relating to the Lakeshore Drive Bridge and the Lake. Councilman Winkler arrived at 2:47 p.m.. Administrative Services Director Boone explained tax increment how they are calculated. and ' City Manager Molendyk commented that he understood it was the i desire of Council to find a way to extract additional monies to increase Law Enforcement services and suggested that Council might want to consider the unencumbered $304,000 in one time money. He advised that staff has sent out inquiries to private security firms and the Administrative Services Director has information on the responses receivede City Manager Molendyk recapped the information previously discussed for Councilman Winkler. . ' There was general discussion regarding the need to purchase , property for parking for the stadium and the related costs. Administrative Services Director Boone explained that it is possible to either ~rade the properties or purchase the proposed 20 acres and sell the existing property that the City ownse City Treasurer Pape questioned the proposed use of the property being discussed. City Manager Molendyk clarified that in order to develop the Stadium and related buildings plus parking thirty-five acres is required and due to ~he elevation it is to the advantage of the City to acquire that property. Councilwoman Cherveny questioned the appropriateness of starting on the Methodist Church when there is no parking available for the ~acility. Ci~y Manager Molendyk stated that the facility has been in use for years and there is parking in the surrounding area , available. Ae noted that renovation and use of the building would help prevent loitering at that site which is a current problem. Councilwoman Cherveny stated that she would rather see the facility done right or not at all. ' Councilman Alongi asked how much ~he City would be financing for , the ball field and stated that he understood it to be twelve and a half million dollars. He stated that he understood that the developer was also going to develop a rodeo ground. Mr. Alongi _ _. _ _ _ ___ _ __ _ __ _ _ . PAGE THREE - JOINT BUDGET WORRSHOP - JULY l~ 1993 asked that Council consider adding a half million dollars to the existing figure for the development of both the ball field and the rodeo grounds. He stated that if the intent is recreation then it should be done all the way, and rodeos are important to this community. He noted that this would allow the City to control the rodeos. Councilman Alongi stated that the cost to provide parking by acquisition of property behind the Methodist Church, along with the demolition and relocation requirements, plus the cost of restoration and construction of a parking lot is prohibitive and he would rather see the money invested in a housing project where there would be a return on City funds. He stated that the $180,000 will be only a beginning and this building will not qenerate tax dollars. He further stated that he feels that the Lake is where City funds should be invested, because there will be a return on those funds. Councilman Alongi stated that the City has been offered the use of the Hemet design for an animal shelter and this would save the City a great deal of money. He further stated that the proposed location is near the existing sewer plant and would be an ideal location with less cost for utilities. He urged Council to consider this item. Councilwoman Cherveny requested that the Council consider proceeding with the Ambassador Hotel because there will be some return for the money spent and provide a facility for the Senior Citizens as well. She stated that she would rather see the money placed there over the Methodist Church, which should not be done unless it is done right. Mayor Washburn congratulated and thanked staff for their hard work in keeping the City solvent. He further commended the staff reqarding the transfer of the Lake and the increased potential Por the community to grow and profit. City Manaqer Molendyk inquired whether the Council would agree on the items proposed in the list presented for Council consideration. Mayor Washburn stated that he would like to see at least a million held in reserve for potential unknown costs relating to the stadium. Councilwoman Cherveny asked what $200,000 will accomplish for the Methodist Church. She further questioned the intended uses for the facility. Councilman Winkler stated that he would like to see the City become aggressive in the purchase of the substandard buildings at Spring and Heald and on Nashland. He e~cplained that he would like to see, in the next fifteen years, the City clean up the older areas of the City while the new areas continue growing. City Manager Molendyk explained that there will be no tax increment on the Municipal Stadium itself. Councilman Alongi stated that he did not have a problem with the Council~s position on Nashland, but he felt that strongly about a housing project at Ellis and Heald and indicated that $190,000 would have been a lot less than the million for Nashland. PAGE FOIIR - JOINT BODGET WORRSHOP ~ JULY l0 1993 Councilwoman Cherveny asked Councilman Winkler if the bids came in at $250,000 on Nashland. Councilman Winkler explained that the estimated costs were anywhere from $200,000 to $250,000 and to do the whole project would be approximately $4,000,000. City Manager Molendyk explained that the Methodist Church building would be used for weddings, cultural events, banquets, etc. He further explained ~hat this facility would not be staffed full time, but rather when the building is in use. Councilman Alongi asked where the Council would meet, if if was decided to hold meetings in that facility. Mayor Washburn explained that it would be in the main room upstairs. Mr. Alongi commented that all of the figures presented regarding the Methodist Church are estimates and there is no way of knowing what will be needed once the walls are cut into, nor how much it will cost to restore the building; and no money has been set aside for furniture for Council Meetings, and no wiring and electrical. He explained that this project will drain money from the City. Councilwoman Cherveny stressed that the City has done quality projects and she would like the City to do it right or wait until the City can afford to do it right; and $184,000 in her opinion is not going to do it right. Mayor Washburn explained that he felt that the City should acquire old buildings and rehabilitate them to preserve the history of the City. Councilwoman Cherveny stated that she did not disagree and could see the building used as a police station. City Manager Molendyk requested confirmation from Council that at point, with the exception of the Mehodist Church, the Redevelopment Agency Board would e in concurrence with the recommended Capital Projects as listed, with the $2.6 million dollars to be set aside until such time as information is available regarding how the City will finance the Stadium and the Rodeo Groundso He indicated that at the time the costs of the Stadium are established a list will be brought back gor further consideration. The Redevelopment Agency Board concurred with this direction. City Manager Molendyk stated that the Department Budgets were reviewed previously and the main concerns were trying to do more for Law Enforcement and Capital Projects. Councilwoman Cherveny stated that she had reviewed that budget and had marked several things that she would like to discuss. Councilman Winkler asked about a memo regarding one time projects and requested an explanatione City Manager Molendyk explained the proposed uses of funds including a Contract Planner, increased Planning Commission training, improvements to City Hall, Upgrade/new computers, charity groups, additional overtime for police, consultant for housing program, and rehabilitation of the Methodist Church. He indicated that after that report had been done the Methodist Church, housing program and overtime for police were moved to Redevelopment Agency Budget in the amount of $304,000 and Council had considered hiring additional Community Services PAGE FIVE - JOINT SODGET WORRSHOP - JULY 1~ 1993 Officers, or private security officers in combination with the Police Reserve Program. He also indicated that Sheriff Byrd stated that he would work with Council if they wanted to give money to the Reserve Program, to give more incentive to the Reserves to participate and give more hours. The Sheriff has also indicated that he would prefer more Community Service Officers because it would be supervised by the Sheriff's Department and would have direct communication with the Sheriff's Department. He indicated that Captain Daniel can explain the cost of Community Service Officers. Captain Daniel explained that havinq Security Officers does not contribute much to the Sheriff~s Department operation because they do not have direct communication nor the ability to transport prisoners, which a Community Service Officer does. Prisoners must be transported to Riverside for booking and Community Services Officers can do that. He further explained that should Council decide the Community Service Officers were desirable they would be utilized in the most active time which is 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. A Community Service Officer costs $19.83 an hour or $35,000 a year. It would take 4 officers to cover the most active time for a total of $142,776 per year plus approximately another $50,000 per year for vehicle cost. This would provide coverage Tuesday through Saturday and include tasks such as transporting prisoners to Riverside, traffic parking enforcement throuqhout the City and supplemental patrol. City Manager Molendyk explained that he had provided figures in the amount of six officers in order to compare with private security; and the cost of six Community Service Officers for a year would be $214,000 plus the rental of the equipment of $264,000. Councilman Alongi explained that he was prefer an officer. which would be placed in a specific location and would stay there to do surveillance at all times to observe and force the criminal element to move on including the east part of Main Street. He felt that this would help to solve the high crime areas. Captain Daniel explained that a visible officer does affect the area, but does get expensive. Mr. Alongi further explained that if it can be shown to the community how effective this type of patrol is, then they might be more open to an additional assessment for police. City Manager Molendyk stressed that this is one time money, and in doing a patrol program for one year to deter crime, and if it is successful, it is something to show the public for a future assessment. If it is not successful the program would be abandoned or the money will have to be discussed anyway. Captain Daniel e~tplained that placing more people on the street is only temporary and what should be considered is long term goals. He explained possible use of an officer in the elementary schools to educate the children in regard to drugs and overall values; such as saying no, how to choose friends and how to make choices. He advised that there had been great success in the outcome of this program in other areas. He noted that if attitudes and values are not changed then nothing lasting occurs. This program is generally targeted at children in grade 5. Captain Daniel gave an overview of the curriculum of the program. Mayor Washburn asked what the School District was providing and the cost factors. Captain Daniel explained that there is no program in this community, but it is beinq used in Corona, Moreno Valley and Blythe and is very effective; and utilized at the 5th grade level PAGE SI% - JOINT BODGET WORRSHOP - JOLY le 1993 it is most effective, He suggested that this is the first area of attack. Councilman Winkler stated that he agreed that this type of proqram should be considered. He stated that placing an officer at Nashland or North Main Street does deter the crime, but it does not ' solve the problem. In addition to addressing the problem with education he felt that developing better neighborhoods should be considered. Mr. Winkler stated that community improvement and abatement of substandard apartments can assist in eliminating the problem. He stated that if the City has one time money he would like to see it used to abate problems which are permanent solutions rather than providing officers on a one year temporary basis. Mayor Washburn asked what the cost for classroom education would be. Captain Daniel explained that the class is taught by a sworn police officer that goes to each school and classroom. He further stated that the School District might be willing to share costs in this type of education. Councilman Alongi asked if a Community Services Officer could be trained to give the same program as a sworn officer. He stated that in the areas Councilman Winkler noted should not be abated, as there are law abiding citizens who live fhere and it is affordable housing for them and he doesn°t see this as a solution to the problem. Mr. Alongi stated that the current police patrol is not in the area enough to discourage the problems; and through having Security Guards on Main Street, during construction, the break-ins stopped and this shows that crimes can be controlled through patrol. He explained that he felt that all persons and businesses were entitled to fair law enforcement because all areas of the City are affected by crime, but tearing down buildings which are affordable housing is not the answer. He gelt that the best solution through policing the problem areas and having the citizens involved to let the criminal element know that this community will not tolerate the situation. Mr. Alonqi stated that even if it costs extra, than that is what should be done. Councilwoman Cherveny stated that she felt that the demolition of Nashland and removing every single building is unnecessary. She explained that the people are still there and will just move on and inhabit other areas. She further explained that she would like to see two units in the area and•possible funds available to those owners who bought those units to make them responsible to • rehabilitate and improve the situation. Mrs. Cherveny stated that additional officers, either Community Service Officers or Crime Watch or private security on the street is a deterrent to crime and with the consideration that Law Enforcement is only reactive because of the amount of calls and cannot be proactive in response to crime at this time and she felt that six units patrolling would help to deter crime and would be a positive image in the community. Mrs. Cherveny explained that if people in this community see a patrol car in their neighborhood they will know that something proactive is being done by this Council, Captain Daniel indicated only if there were six people on tfie street, however he still felt that the root problem was not being addressed. He stressed that there should be a good blend. Councilwoman Cherveny advised that she agreed with Captain Daniel but if the City is looking at $250,000, 365 days a year and there PAGE SEVEN - JOINT BUDGET WORRSHOP - JULY l~ 1993 are six patrols on the street in an observation capacity it would be a deterrent to crime with a proactive stance and free up the sworn officers. Captain Daniel addressed response times and explained the teleserve officer who responds by phone and frees up the field officers. He also indicated a K-9 Officer should be considered. He explained that an increase in clerical should also be considered due to the fact that 80~ of an officer's time is spent in paper work and this would free the officer up for more patrol. Councilwoman Cherveny asked about a Senior Volunteer Program for clerical functions and whether could this be considered. City Manaqer Molendyk asked if Council wanted to use part of the one time money for Community Service Officers, or all or part of the money for abatement. Lieutenant Garthwaite commented on the impact on the sworn patrol officer, in that private security may identify some crime that is going undetected, but the trickle down is goinq to place more of a work load on the sworn officer in the field. He further commented that conversely the Community Service Officer will relieve the work load from the sworn officer so they can be more proactive in enforcement efforts. He suggested that one may place more of a strain on the system than the other. Councilman Dominguez stated that if the Council went with four Community Service Officers and used the rest of the funds to abate a portion of Nashland, it would improve from both angles. Councilwoman Cherveny stated that with private security if the contract calls for six units, there will be six units on the street. It is their problem if someone is sick or on vacation, they will still provide the same amount of units. She further stated that it may generate some calls to the sworn officer, but will also be a deterrent to break-ins and other crime, so that the officer will not be called to respond. Councilman Alongi stated that tearing do~~n the buildings on Nashland is just a small part of the solution, because of all the other problems that must be addressed such as density, limited occupancy and proper parking. Mayor Washburn stated that if buildings are demolished for blight conditions it dos deter problems122oXbeca~ persons who requent the336Xbuildiage same who generate the crime. Mayor Washburn asked what the request was by the Sheriff~s Office to the City Manager. City Manager Molendyk explained that as Captain Daniel had stated, if the Council really wanted to deter crime it would require double the amount of officers on the street or at least 50o more officers which would cost $5,000,000. He _ explained that education is the long term answer to the problems. He concurred with Councilman Alongi°s statement that you have to show the public before they support additional assessments. Councilman Dominguez asked if the same thing could be accomplished by demolition of blighted areas. Councilman Alongi disagreed and stated that tearing down buildings PAGE EIGHT - JOYNT BODGET WORRSHOP - JOLY 1~ 1993 which can be rehabilitated to continue to offer affordable housing is not the answer, because there is a lot of law abiding people that need affordable housing. City Manager Molendyk asked Council to set priorities. He indicated if the intent is to reduce response time then it would ' mean more officers. Mr. Molendyk stated that in other areas, such as clerical and support staff it would provide more ~ime for the officer on the street to do his job and this is something that has not been discussed. Councilman Alongi explained that he does not want to see any program eliminated, but a balance between all the programs is needed. He stated that he knows that some houses need to be abated, but he would also like to see some of the houses rehabilitated and he would like to see this community safe for everyone. City Manager Molendyk stated that he knows that all of Council has priorities, but stressed that it all comes down to money. He stated that there are currently 25 officers, 21 sworn and 4 Community Service Officers covering 38 square miles. Code Enforcement is only 1 and 1/2 officers and that also covers 38 square miles. He s~ressed that geography is a big factor. Councilwoman Cherveny indicated that this was all the more reason for more eyes and ears to be on the streets, because it takes so long to traverse from one end of the lake to the other. Councilman Alongi questioned narcotic abatement and asked if it has been used. Captain Daniel stated that it has been started and used at three different residences. City Manager Molendyk gave an overview of the proposed Capital Improvement Projects. Councilwoman Cherveny asked if the traffic signal proposed for Machado/Lincoln could be moved to Machado/Grand or Grand/Ortega Highway. Engineering Manager O~Donnell clarified that the traffic signal at Ortega Highway and Grand Avenue was a Cal-Trans project and that the City is working on it with them, Councilman Alongi indicated that the City needs to buy a building for Human Services with CDBG funds. He indicated this would aid the different services to remain in Lake Elsinore with some possible assistance from the County, since this facility services the entire valleye Councilwoman Cherveny stated that the Kids on Track was eliminated from the budgeto She asked that Council reconsider funding for this program. Sharon Lindsey, representing the school district, gave an overview of the Kids on Track program and stated that they are in the process of reviewing and utilizing the Healthy Kid program which will allow for further fundinge She stressed that the Kids on Track is a cooperative program between the School District and the City and a very positive program for the children. Councilwoman Cherveny explained that the cost of the program is about $59,000 and originally it was a pilot program which was an alternative for children to keep them from joining gangs. etc, PAGE NINE - JOINT BUDGET WORRSHOP - JULY l~ 1993 This year it was sugqested to include the Junior High School to give the students an alternative to gang influence and would increase the cost to $76,000. She stated that this is a positive program for the community and asked that Council find the money to fund the program and keep it going. Mrs. Cherveny presented Council with some petitions which were presented regarding a Fire Station on the West End through the Community Facilities District 88-3 and Law Enforcement. City Manager Molendyk reported that the cost of the Fire Station on the West End would cost approximately $1.2 million dollars and would take 9 to 12 month construction. He explained that there are three funding phases of CFD 88-3 and the City has to wait for the 3rd phase of bondinq in order to build the station which will occur in November or December of this year and construction could follow immediately. The staffing cost for the station will begin in the 1994/95 Budget. Mr. Molendyk stated that the design has been done and is ready when the funding is availablee Mayor Washburn suggested that information regarding the time line for the building and staffing of the Fire Station be put in the next City Newsletter. Councilman Alongi asked if a small amount could be cut from each section of the budget in order to fund the Kids on Track program. Mayor Washburn asked that Council consider assistinq the School District in lightinq the ball field at the new high school. Councilman Winkler stated that he had received a memo in regard to removal and construction of a fence and stated that he did not like the wooden fence at Century Homes which is a potential eye sore because of the elevation of the tract.

PIIBLIC COMMENTS - NON-AGENDIZED ITEMS Peter Dawson, 18010 Grand Avenue, Southshore Homeowners Association, reminded Council and the Agency not to forget the requests of the Southshore Homeowners Association regarding launch rights. Chris Hyland, 15191 Wavecrest Drive, explained that she had been involved with an organization to abolish Redevelopment Agencies and defined the functions of a Redevelopment Agency in this City and the commitment of funds. She stated that Lake Elsinore has spent no money on low income housing and it is required that 20~ be spent on it. She further stated that the taxpayer~s property is security for the Redevelopment Agency debt of approximately $500,000,000 which pays for all the projects that the Agency has committed to. Mrs. Hyland requested that ]Euture Study and Work Sessions not be held at 3:00 in the afternoon but scheduled at a later time to allow the people that work to attend. Legal Counsel Harper clarified that tax increment financing through the Redevelopment Agencg is secured only by that increment tax that is levied; there is no lien on any property, there is no obligation for any taxpayer in this community to repay those loans. If the City does not have the tax funds to make the loan payment and the bonds go into default, there is no ability for the bond holder to go back against the City or any piece of property in the City. He further explained that the reason Temecula had a problem related to the fact that Temecula's Public Financing Authority through the School District invested in an investment vehicle that went off shore and went bankrupt, however it looks like Temecula will end up getting ninety cents on the dollar. Temecula's problem was caused by investments and had nothing to do with whether or not the project went forward. Mr. Harper further clarified that the City of Lake Elsinore has not issued $500,000,000 in bonds. The City dicl authorize a maximum, through the Marks-Roos Financing Program, of $500,000,000 in bonds which might ultimately be sold over the 30 years of the program. There is no existing debt of $500,000,000 nor is ~here any debt remotely close to that, the only debt that the agency has is secured by tax increment and if the tax funds are not forthcoming the only thinq that happens is that the bond PAGE FIVE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - JOLY 27~ 1993 holders do not get paid. Boardmember Washburn clarified that contrary to the beliefs of some people, because if it were not for the fact that the Council, in the 1980's formed the Redevelopment Areas this community would , still be in the position it was in the early 70~s, going no where, with no direction and no capital outlay to improve the City. He criticized Mrs. Hyland for her opinion regarding Redevelopment. Hugh Von Platten, representing several property owners who wish to build townhouses on Chaney Street, stated that they are still waiting for some type of answer to give them direction as to what can be done with their property. He asked that the City give direction in regard to this issue, as there has been a loss to the $100,000-invested with the taxes being raised repeatedly. Legal Counsel Harper explained that cities don't levy property taxes; the only way that property taxes are reduced is through a protest to the County Tax Assessor. Boardmember Washburn explained that at the last Council Meeting Engineering and Planning was directed to study and determine the ultimate design for Chaney Street and it should be back for consideration in approximately 60 days. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT Executive Director Molendyk noted that there would be a Special Meeting on August 5, 1993, at 2:00 p.m. BOARDMEMBER COMMENTS Boardmember/Councilman Alongi commented on the following: 1.

Mr. Young clarified that the original design of the project did not include "off the shelf01 items, rather most would be custom pieces. He indicated that they believe better information is available and they are working with steel manufacturers to determine the possibility of substituting items that are more common designs without changing the design of the Stadium. Boardmember Cherveny questioned the estimates for the Steel and Masonry items. Mr. Young advised that the Steel was estimated at $850,000 and the Masonry was estimated at $700,000; and his team is working to bring in bids closed to those figures. Boardmember Alongi inquired whether this action would cause any delays in the overall project. Mr. Young advised that the bidders had agreed to meet the deadlines even with the custom items, and he felt that with "off the shelf" items it would be a quicker process. Boardmember Alongi asked if there were penalties to be imposed for delays. Mr. Young indicated that they would be in place when the contract is signed, but there would be liquidated damages.

Mr. Boone further explained that this loan program would be proposed at a maximum amount of $15,000 to $25,000 ar.d PAGE THREE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MIN[TTES - AIIGIIST 31, 1993 inquired whether the Board would like to look at a City-wide program or only tarqet areas. He advised that the pilot program would be proposed to be for owner-occupied residences, subject to the bank's regulations. He further advised that they had discussed a total program of $300,000, and the banlc is ready to proceed as soon as guidelines are established. Executive Director Molendyk stressed that it is necessary to determined if the program will be City-wide or specific areas, such as west end, downtown, etc. He questioned whether there would be a requirement for the work to be visible and contribute to improved appearance for the neighborhood, such as a new roof and a coat of paint first. Chairman Winkler questioned the responsibility of the Redevelopment Agency in this proposal. Mr. Boone advised that it would be to guarantee all of the loans. Mr. Winkler inquired if this would be for the potential maximum of $300,000. Mr. Boone confirmed that would be the amount for at least the first year to determine whether there was interest in this program. Mr. Winkler inquired how the loans would be secured. Mr. Boone indicated that there would be second trust deeds. Boardmember Washburn inquired whether this should be limitecl to R-1 or owner occupied. Mr. Molendyk indicated that it was leaning toward owner occupied R-1. He noted a similar County program for owner occupied, but not rentals. Mr. Washburn inquired whether there would be consideration given if an owner lived in a duplex. Chairman Winkler indicated that he would prefer single-family detached homes. Executive Director Molendyk commented on homes in the downtown area and inquired whether there would be interest in giving priority to homes built prior to 1945 over a newer home. Boardmember pominguez inquired who would oversee the program to determine if there is merit and the loan should be approved. Mr. Molendyk stressed that this was a request for Council input. Mr. Dominguez indicated that the loans should address the outside of the houses first. Boardmember Cherveny inquired how the Agency could control how the monies were spent. Boardmember Washburn indicated that there would need to be a staff person to follow the projects. Mr. Molendyk indicated that there had been an allowance for this type of expertise in the one time money, noting that there would need to be guidelines and inspections. Mr. Harper noted that in other cities, the City pays the contractor directly. Mr. Dominguez suggested that the owners pay the bill with the City to reimburse. Mr. Winkler questioned pre- approval of the projects. Mr. Harper indicated that would be necessary. Executive Director Molendyk suggested that the Board might wan to give priority to windows, doors, floors, etc. Boardmember Washburn indicated that historic buildings fitting the theme should be encouraged to participate. Boardmember pominguez noted that when the overlay area was PAGE FOIIR - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINOTES - AIIGIIST 31~ Y993 expanded there was discussion of having funds available for projects. Executive Director Molendyk inquired whe~her the $15,0000 would include fees ox if fees would be waived. iKr. Washburn suggested that consideration be given to waiving fees. Boardmember Washburn indicated that he would like to see the program City-wide. Boardmember Cherveny concurred. Chairman Flinkler noted that the quarantee is only for amount over those dollars recouped through foreclosure. Boardmember Cherveny suggested that the program be limited to exterior work. Boardmember Washburn suggested that there may be plumbing or electrical problems in the older buildings. Executive Director Molendyk inquired what the problems would normally be with an 80 year old house; anci whether the goal would be aesthetics of the neighborhood or if individual consideration of inerit would be better. Chairman Winkler concurred that the total should be $300,000, but suggested a maximum of $25,000 per house. Executive Director Molendyk questioned the impact of $15,000 and whether it would be adequate. Boardmember Cherveny commented ~hat $15,000 would accomplish a lot. Mr. Winkler indicated that he would have no problem if the bank feels it is feasible. Executive Director Molendyk stressed the need for direction, since the bank is willing to work with the Itedevelopment Agency. Boardmember Washburn noted that the program appears worth pursuing. Administra~ive Services Director Boone requested clarification of the following points; inspection process, funds to come from one time money, concurrence with the first year pilot program of $300,000, limitation of $15,00o unless the bank feels differently and whether fhe program would be City-wide. Boardmember Alongi indicated that he has been looking for a program bu~ he doesn°t feel this is it. He guestioned the ability gor low income people to pay back the loan. He indicated that he has a problem calling this a Redevelopment Agency program. He questioned the 10~ set aside. Mr. Boone indicated that if the total program is $300,000, the Agency would be setting aside $30,000. Mr. Alonqi further commented that low income people cannot pay back this size loan in 10 years, Mr. Winkler indicated that this would be determined if no one could qualify to borrow. Mr. Molendyk noted that the amount loaned will depend on the property, asse~s, etc. Iie suqgested that the RDA may want to lower the criteria since it will be backing the loans. Boardmember Cherveny questioned whether the loans would be subject to banlc regulations or RDA regulations, and suggested the bank would have to agree to allow RDA influence. Mr. Boone suqgested that the term could be more that l0 years if that would be more geasible. Mr. Washburn suggested the possibility of a two tier program to allow different levels to qualify. PAGE FIVE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINLiTEB - AIIGIIST 31~ 1993 Boardmmber Cherveny questioned the bank's underwriting criteria and their willingness to put the program together. Mr. Boone indicated that the bank wants to know what the Agency would want to see. Chairman Winkler suggested that assurances be made that the equity will cover the loans. Boardmember Alongi indicated that Redevelopment Agencies do not look at the equity, they look at those who qualify. Legal Counsel Harper noted 3 approaches to this type of programo Mr. Alongi indicated that generally the low and very low income residents live in rentals, not owned property. Mr. Harper indicated that this type of program generally appeals to elderly residents and first time buyers with older homes to fix up. Chairman Winkler noted that this program could be self sustaining. Boardmember Alongi questioned the 10 year due date and the ability of people to make the payments. Legal Counsel Harper suggested that a 15 year loan would only be about $135.00 per month and 10 years might be as low as $175.00 per month. Boardmember Cherveny inquired what the minimum requirements would be. Mr. Boone indicated that has not yet been addressed, but it could be done with input from the activity seen. Boardmember pominguez commented that this program would not address the two residential requests received. Mr. Molendyk indicated that this is an attempt to form a program, however the Agency is not a bank for developers who run out of money. He questioned the interest in assisting properties which are not owner occupied. Boardmember Washburn questioned the feeling on these two requests. Mr. Winkler indicated that he did not see them as appropriate. Mr. Washburn questioned the program which assisted commercial downtown. Mr. Alongi indicated that he would not have a problem if these were intended as commercial. Mr. Boone clarified that these were residential rental units. Additional Board discussion ensued.

Mayor Washburn explained that the City would receive $108,000. City Manager Molendyk explained that it is revenue but if spent on public safety it would amount to only one police officer. Councilwoman Cherveny stated that one is more than none and is a beginning to adding more to meet the needs of PAGE THREE - REDEDELOPMENT AGENCY MINIITES - OCTOBER 12~ 1993 the City which is growing. She stated that crime watch is a plus to the department, but is still only a band aid and more is needed. Mayor Pro Tem/Boardmember pominguez commented on the following: 1) Gave a reminder from CR & R Disposal Service, that the old trash cans can be placed out and the service will pick them up. Do not place trash in them, just set them out empty. Mayor/Boardmember Washburn commented on the following: 1) Stated that there were 3,000 reserve officer hours that were donated for different events and services. 2) Submitted a letter received from Jo Helmes to Engineering Department which requests a four way stop sign at West Heald and Townsend Street. 3) Commented that he had received a letter from Kenneth Weise and Jim Magill; and the gentlemen were responsible for doing lots of promotional work for the lake and City and were part of the group responsible for the fill of the Lake in the early sixties. They were also responsible for founding and directing the Elsinore 500 and 215 endurance races which are again being considered. He explained that there are two steps which have to be taken, establish control of the Lake which has already happened and the clean up the lake. 4) - Asked Captain Daniel to give a report about "Together We Can Make A Difference" program as Eollows: Captain Daniel e~lained that in July the School District held a seminar which addressed school issues and the persons who attended became part of the Community Action Plan which discussed problems the City faces and found that self-esteem impacts our ability to be productive in the community. Services were also discussed as well as media relations for a more positive input. The first project was to make a difference in the community and to encourage people to clean up their yards and they formed a committee which recruited youth groups and service organizations to go out and cleaned up the area between Ortega and Grand to four corners which is a main corridor of the valley. The different orqanizations and the members of the committee and their families will meet at Machado Park on October 23, at 7:00 a.m. and with Cal- Trans assistance of vests and hats they will be cleaning up the weeds, painting out graffiti and picking up trash. It is their aim to make the area more beautiful. He stated that "Make A Difference Day~~ is tied in with the Red Ribbon Week activities. 5) Commented on the crime in the City and stated that this community is no different than others. He explained that it takes community involvement and any crime is unacceptable to himself and most people in the City. Ae stated that in actual numbers the City is probably no different than Palm Springs in crime numbers, but that doesn't make it better or any easier. Ae pointed out PAGE FOUR - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MIN[TTES - OCTOBER 12~ 1993 that every time the community has been asked to participate in the dollars and cents to make it possible they have rejected the idea. Mayor Washburn explained that Bonds cannot buy more police, it must be funded through the General Fund and as positive projects generate more dollars for the City General Fund it will go toward more public safety services. Councilman/Chairman Winkler commented on the following: 1) Stated that there are crime pockets in the City and he working with the Crime Watch is trying to help make a difference. He stated that he does believe in community involvement and he feels that the government should not be expected to do everything and there needs to be citizen involvement as a joint effort. Chairman Winkler cited the cards sent out and received by Mayor Washburn when fie was running for Council, with responses that Law Enforcement was one of the primary interests. Since then the level of service for law enforcement has been increased repeatedly. He stressed the necessity of becoming involved and stated that when Councilwoman Cherveny was City Treasurer there was discussion in regard to police other than what the budget addressed, and the possibility of an assessment for more police was discussed. He indicated that he asked at that time if Mrs. Cherveny would support a proposed assessment without going to a vote in a public election and she stated yes, and then withdrew support at the next election period when the candidates were running for office. Councilwoman Cherveny stated that this statement was a lie. She stated that she had never supported an assessment of the people for police because she felt that it was a number one responsibility to provide fire and police in this community without an assessment. Mr. Winkler stated that he admired the people who went before the voters during that election period to discuss and assessment and they suffered for their efforts. Councilwoman Cherveny stated that she felt that Chairman Winkler had led the people to believe that the only way they would get more police was to form an assessment district and that she does not believe that. Chairman Winkler stated that he felt that the people in this community had lived here long enough to understand the problems and the reality of the situation. He further explained that after the last election, he had encouraged the appointment of Councilwoman Cherveny as Chairman of the Redevelopment Agency which would place her on the Finance Committee to give her input in regard to the budget and there was an increase in police protection in that budget. The budget was passed with a 5-0 vote with Councilwoman Cherveny's support. The increase in police was the same as the increases done by past'Council's. He further stated that if this Council has been incompetent in providing police, it is based on the budget which Councilwoman Cherveny supported along with the entire Council. 2) He stated that he had asked the City Clerk to bring the tape of the March 30, 1993, Council Meeting and stated that Christine Hyland had' brought up the Walmart law suit. The City Council approved the project three or PAGE FIVE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MIN[TTES - OCTOBER'12, 1993 four weeks before the recall election. He stated that the first time that he was aware of a lawsuit was the day before the Recall Election. There was a special City Council Meeting on March 30, 1993 which was to approve the transfer of the Lake from the State to the City of Lake Elsinore. He then asked City Clerk Kasad to play the last part of the meeting tape. The tape was played. Chairman Winkler stated that the gentleman in the audience yelling "Councilman Winkler, Councilman Washburn" was the attorney for Williams in the Lawsuit and the person yelling "just serve them, just serve them, just serve them", was Councilman Alongi. He was directing the Attorney for the plaintiff, Mr. Williams to serve the rest of the Council for the Lawsuit. One of the defendants in the lawsuit was the City of Lake Elsinore. He noted that there was a CounciZman who had obviously met with the attorney of the opposition prior to the service and then at the meeting was directing the attorney to make service on the Council. He stated that he felt that it was improper of Mr. Alongi to do so, but it was in the heat of the Recall Election. After the Recall Election proved to be unsuccessful the lawsuit was dormant for a period of time. The plaintiff did eventually take action to activate the lawsuit after a major portion of the grading had been done on site and a considerable amount of money had been spent. He stated that the City Attorney handled the lawsuit and on September 23, 1993, it was dismissed. He stated that he felt that the suit never had a chance. AftPr 'Lhp last City Council Meetinq, in closed session it •o:as ue~i3~d that the City Attorney should pursue the ~~~tor.n:~~•'s F~~~~s for this case, and Councilwoman Cher~~env was in th2'.~ Closed Session. After that meeting, iie stated thati he had found that on September 1, 1~93, Cc_taa:lwoman Cherveny had done a Declaration o~ Tere Cherveny, Petition for Writ of Mandate had beer_ °..~led with tYte court. The document had been prepared by ihe att~rney for Mr. Williams against the City of Lake E_::in~r~. He explained that the City Attorney expressed sa=prise that Councilwoman Cherveny had filed a declaration in support of Mr. Williams against the City of Lake Elsinore. Chairman Winkler stated that Councilwoman Cherveny had never contacted the City Attorney in regard to this matter. He stated that if a Councilperson is going to give a declaration in support of a petition where the City is a defendant then that Councilperson should be accountable. Part of the pursuit of the City Attorney for the cost of Attorney's Fees in regard to this case were in response to that declaration and he felt that it was not appropriate for Mrs. Cherveny to remain in that closed session due to the fact that she had signed a declaration in support of the plaintiff against the City and violated her fiduciary duty to give a declaration and not inform the City Attorney of her action and is an embarrassment to the City to take this action. 3) He chastised Councilwoman Cherveny for directing Code Enforcement to cite a neighbor with whom there is a personal and political problem and instructing the Code Enforcement Officer not to reveal that she had asked her to take that action. After the Recall Election the policy committee met to set policy that no Councilmember PAGE SIS - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MIN[TTES - OCTOBER 12, 1993 may direct staff to take any action directly. All disputes must qo to the City Manager and will be handled at that level. This does not mean that the City Manager nor Department Heads should not jump through hoops at City Taxpayers expense to settle personal disputes. Chairman Winkler stated that this is a misuse of staff time and taxpayers money. He stated that if any of the previously mentioned situations had occurred in any other City the newspapers would have been on the situation and that Councilperson would have been called to account for their actions in the papers. He stated that he could not understand why this was not the case in this City. CLOSED SESSION None.

PAGE TWO - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - OCTOBER 26~ 1993 SUSINE88 ITEM 7. Lakeshore Drive rsriaae - Executive Director Molendyk explained that this was an item reqiYir~d bg ~FVMW~' rega7iding steel casing for water and sewer lines. He called upon Public Services Director Tecca to clarify the project. Public Services Director Tecca explained that a 30 inch water line and a 16 inch sewer line run parallel to the bridge and are buried in the ground, which must be relocated. The lines will be reconstructed 12 feet deeper to a position 16 feet below the bottom of the finish grade of the channel. Also, they will be protected by armor rock on both sides of the channel and a 2 foot thick concrete slab located below the armor rock and above the pipe. The design engineers feel strongly that this is sufficient protection for both pipes. Mr. Tecca further explained that EVMWD had reviewed the plans and have responded by requesting the pipes be installed in steel sleeving the full length of the channel, and that 2 additional 30 inch butterfly valves be installed in the water line; additional cost of these changes is estimated at $83,000. Mr. Tecca stated that the design engineers for the project-feel-the ehanges are unnecessary and have warned that Cal Trans may not approve reimbursement of these costs. In addition, they have not been successful in convincing EVMWD to withdraw their request. Without the Federal reimbursement of $66,400., the RDA will have to fund the entire amount. Executive Director Molendyk explained that at a meeting with the City,<EVMWD and Cal Trans, two things were discussed; the first, was to do what EVMWD needs to meet their requirements, and the second, was Cal Trans standards. He asked Public Services Director Tecca if the requirements of EVMWD were more than what was required by Cal Trans. Mr. Molendyk further explained that the City is willing to do whatever Cal Trans requires and anything beyond that will be brought back to the Board for policy direction. Boardmember Washburn stated that he felt what EVMWD was asking might not be necessary and that the body of the motion be to resolve the issue and allow staff to proceed with the project. Boardmember Cherveny asked how long it would take to find out if Cal Trans would approve this item. Public Services Director Tecca stated that if the plans were completed and signed off by EVMWD and submitted to Cal Trans it would then be possible to find out if they would fund. She stated that possibly this should be continued to give time to meet with EVMWD, as a result of their requirement Cal Trans will not provide the funding, then will they be willing to assume the additional cost. Public Services Director Tecca explained that EVMWD had been approached to find out if they would be willing to fund the requirement if Cal Trans would not; there has been no answer. Chairman Washburn asked if a two week continuance would provide time for further meetings with EVMWD. Boardmember Cherveny stated that something should be put in writing to EVMWD.

Boardmember Washburn asked Chairman Winkler if he could address Legal Counsel regarding item No. 4 of the RDA Consent Calendar. Chairman Winkler stated that he could. Boardmember Washburn inquired whether approval of the Notice of Completion for the Mission Trial Rehabilitation would absolve Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District from their share of the funding. Legal Counsel Harper explained that the Notice of Completion is simply a notice that the project is completed, from the contractors point .of view. Boardmember Washburn asked to clarify that there is no liability of accepting the additional cost if the Notice of Completion is siqned and recorded. Legal Counsel Harper stated there was no liability. 8. Chanae Order Number 1 to the San Jacinto-River Channel Project.

Chris Hyland, 15191 Wavecrest Drive, commended Councilwoman Cherveny for her work on Council and criticized Councilman Winkler for his attitude toward Councilwoman Cherveny.

She asked if notification of homeowners will occur. City Manager Molendyk explained that it is the responsibility of the Airport people to notice the affected homeowners. 4) Explained that she was going to address Councilman Winkler's comments from the last meeting. She stated that she felt that Councilman Winkler was grandstanding and was incorrect to interfere with her neighbor's and her business. She stated that she feels Councilman Winkler makes constant personal attacks, vicious harassment and discriminatinq and unprofessional judgements that reek of slander and defamation. She explained that since Mr. Winkler's comments last there is no opportunity for a rebuttal and by the next meeting she felt that it was not worth responding to his comments. Mrs. Cherveny stated that in response to the lawsuit, she was told that she could either be subpoenaed or she could give a declaration. She explained that since she was about to go on vacation she decided to do a declaration and she offered the public a eopy of her declaration. Mrs. Cherveny responded to her presence in the closed session regardinq the discussion of litigation for the Williams case and presented a letter of opinion from Legal Counsel Harper stating that there was no legal conflict for her to be in closed session. She addressed Public Safety and stated that since she has been elected she has served on several committees and Mr. Winkler had those committees abolished. She asked City Manager Molendyk what the two words were that she says all the time. He responded that it was Public Safety. Mrs. Cherveny stated that Councilman Winkler takes credit for appointing her to RDA, but doesn't take the credit for removing her. She further enumerated the different projects she has been involved in. She read her request for the budget and explained the things that she felt could be cut back to allow for more funds. She questioned the report from Captain Daniel and explained that from the time of speaking to him on the ~hone to when a report was brought to this mee~ing, the Sheriff's Department had seemed to have gained 8 more sworn PAGE SI% - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTEB - OCTOBER 26~ 1993 officers. Mrs. Cherveny presented her campaign flier and read part of her political positions. She questioned the amount of sales tax the City really receives from the Outlet Center and stated that it was not near what was projected. She explained that she had contacted Code Enforcement privately and that it was not City Business and Mr. Winkle~ had no right to:involve himself nor give an,opinion. -,.-5'he pointed, out ~hat Councilman Dominguez ca11s Code Enforcement all the time and he is never chastised. She stated that she felt because of the sensitive situation that is between her neighbor and her that Code Enforcement was the right way to approach the problem, as the dog waste in her neighbor~s yard next door had created a problem with flies and odor. She further stated that her neighbor removing the fence along her side yard had created a problem of dirt washing down on her pavement every time it rains or her neighbor waters. She explained that by Mr. Winkler's interference he was not part of the solution so therefore he must be part of the problem. She criticized Mr. Winkler for making comments about Councilman Alongi and explained that she felt that Council should not have to defend themselves and that in her opinion Mr. Winkler was a self-serving disgrace to the Council and the community and that she would no longer tolerate nasty Councilwoman bashing in the future because she has more self-respect than to allow that to continue to happen. She explained that she does have a private attorney that specializes in slander and defamation of character. She apologized to the citizens of the community and explained that she felt that it was necessary to defend herself, and that she felt that if you allow someone to continue to attack then they,, never get the message, and it is her hope that tonight would get the message across. She cautioned Mr. Winkler that she would make a rebuttal to all his future comments and asked that he stay out of her personal business. Councilman/Chairman Winkler commented on the following: 1) Explained that when a Councilperson involves City staff it is the business of every person in the community. He felt that Mrs. Cherveny had understated her involvement with City staff in her personal disputes and he felt that the dangerous.part is that she feels that she really can use City staff to hammer out your own private disputes. He stated that he wished that they would be private and the lawsuits or letters are not the important issues, the City staff should not be involved. COUNCILWOMAN/BOARDMEMBER CHERVENY LEFT THE MEETING AT 9:55 P.M. He stated that he would not be intimidated by Councilwoman Cherveny walking out and addressed the concept of filing a declaration or being subpoenaed. He asked Legal Counsel Harper for the definition of Subpoena Ad Testificandum. Legal Counsel Harper defined Subpoena Ad Testificandum as a subpoena that requires a person to testify. Councilman Winkler then asked Legal Counsel Harper to define Subpoena Duces Tecum. Leqal Counsel Harper stated that this is a subpoena which requires a person to produce certain documents. He asked if there was a subpoena which requires a person to give a declaration. Legal Counsel Harper stated that there was not. Mr. Winkler stated that the subpoena concept is ridiculous and explained that if a Councilmember receives a communication from an attorney who is representing PAGE SEVEN - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES - OCTOBER 26~ 1993 someone suing the City, the City Attorney should be contacted immediately. He stated that Councilwoman Cherveny did not do that. He explained that when he ran for re-election a few years ago, he had to justify to Councilwoman Cherveny spending City money to build a Retail Outlet Center. He stated that the Outlet Center has generated $409,000. in sales tax revenue. At the time of the completion of the fourth phase it will be approximately one million dollars in revenue. At the build out that will mean one million dollars every year as well as additional money in tax increment through the RDA. Mayor/Boardmember Washburn commented on the following: 1) Announced the United Way Telethon, November 13, 1993, from 2:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. This will be an opportunity to pledge and enjoy live programming. This will be on King Videocable, Channel 3. 2) Explained that he would like to respond to Councilwoman Cherveny's comments and stated that public safety is important, but that is not the only thing that is important in and to the City. By not looking at the total picture Councilwoman Cherveny is not cooperating and functioning as a complete Councilperson. The crime issues are not being ignored by the rest of Council and there was no increase from last year to this in felony crimes, traffic was reduced by 13~, non criminal activity was reduced 12%. He explained that some years the percentages go up and some down, but what has made the decrease this year was not just the sworn officers, but Code Enforcement, Citizens Crime Watch, structure abatement, and involvement of the entire community. He explained to make a difference, takes a lot of effort and time. He stated that in his opinion Councilwoman Cherveny was using the committees to exercise her powers outside the Council and he was glad that it was stopped. By bringinq a11 issues back to the full body of the Council, it allows everyone to make a decision and not just one or two persons. He stated that in his opinion, the sensitive situation that Councilwoman Cherveny talks about should have been solved between she and her neiqhbor and not cause the involvement of the City Manager, the City Attorney and Staff. He further cited the fact'that she has used the local papers to platform her views and criticize the Council. He explained that she went to staff when Graham was being done and she got concrete work done in front of her property, and cautioned that she does need to be concerned with Conflict of Interest. He further suggested that she should reimburse the City/Agency for this work. He stated that in his opinion, she does not believe in this City and this community or she would work as a partner. He stated that he knew it was not easy for everyone to work together, but a way must be found to work within the system to benefit and improve the community. He stated that during the recall she used her position to promote the efforts, and he feels that she is upset because he was not recalled and now she does not cooperate. As the Mayor of Lake Elsinore he asked for her resignation. Mayor Pro Tem/Boardmember pominguez commented on the following: 1) Reported that Make a Difference Day was a success. It involved the Boy Scouts, Schools, Sheriff's, Cal Trans, PAGE EIGHT - AGENCY MINUTES - OCTOBER 26~ 1993 and several volunteer groups and they cleaned from the Ortega Highway to Four Corners as well getting rid of the graffiti at Corydon and Grand Ave. 2) Stated that there were many activities iast weekend that were good in the community such as Autumn Fest, Red Ribbon Day and a Pow Wow at Elsinore West Marina. 3) Thanked the people at the Airport that presented programs for the Autumn Fest. He stated that they did a very good job. 4) Stated his concern regarding the letters from the Jean Hayman School regarding the Christmas Parade. He explained that the City does try to work with the different organizations and when they do not live up to their commitments the City is blamed. He stated that he felt that the City should withdraw from the organization that failed to do their part and in the future, present the programs independently. Mayor/Boardmember washburn gave a reminder that the upcoming weekend is the last week of the October Fest at the Rodeo Grounds and there will be a costume contest and several other events to celebrate the last week. He encouraged the community to attend.

He further noted that there'is not sufficient tirae to rebid the project: Mr. Savello clarified that it is approximately a$4,000 difference, because the alternate will not be used.

PAGE TWO ADJOURNED REGULAR REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETING NOVEMBER 10~ 1993 2. San Jacinto River Channel Project Update. Executive Director Molendyk explained that there are two thing that need direction. One is the EVMWD has communicated with the City regarding the change of location of the weir as part of the Lake Management Plan, which is a major deviation from the original plan but involves Redevelopment Agency owned property which the Board will have to act upon. The other issue which was brought up by a property owner at the last meeting, is an explanation of how the river bottom is being cut out and what measures are being taken in regard to that project. Public Services Director Tecca explained that this has to do with the Lake inlet channel and that the weir was going to be built on the same alignment as the inlet channel and go around the spilling basin. When the level of the water rose to 1263 then it would spill over the weir and enter the back basin. EVMWD has been working with Black and Beech to design the weir and they presented a new plan to move the weir back about 300 feet further into the flood plain. What this will accomplish is that it will be less expensive for EVMWD to build and it would be expensive to the City because it will use two major lots that the City owns. Mr. Otwag of Black and Beech explained that if EVMWD were to pursue this the City would have to give them the property. Mr. Tecca asked if the Council felt that the weir should be moved back 300 feet and give EVMWD the property or does Council wish to pursue the original plan and have EVMWD build the more expensive weir. He further explained that now that the City owns the Lake it would cost us half to build the weir and it would be less costly in the end to set the weir back 300 feet. Boardmember Washburn stated that he would like to see more information and discussion with Hank Otway. He explained that it may need redesign for the spill basin if the weir is moved and he felt that there is not enough information to go on at this time. Chairman Winkler explained that he felt that there was not enough information and he doesn't know the impact that this will have on Eastlake. He would like to see a meeting between the two Boards regarding this issue. City Manager Molendyk explained that the City has just been informed regarding this issue and that is why.it is being brought before the Board at this time. He explained that the EVMWD wanted a decision as soon as possible before they go to design. Public Services Director Tecca explained the second issue is the San Jacinto River Channel and explained that it was discussed by the Board at EVMWD and that it was suggested that it be brought to the City immediately. Chairman Winkler stated that there can be a discussion with the committee of the City and EVMWD to discuss this issue. Mr. Tecca then explained the construction of the San Jacinto River Channel and explained the concerns of Mr. Bob Williams. He stated that Mr. Williams concern is that the watar will back up from the channel and onto his property and create environmental hazards. Mr. Tecca present a plan showing the transition of the existing channel to the new channel in order to hold and expedite the flow of the water. He explained that the Department of Fish and Game Permit requires that there be PAGE THREE ADJOURNED REGULAR REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETING NOVEMBER 10~ 1993 some ponding in the bottom of the channel to insure some ponding in the late spring and early summer months. This is to maintain a continuous flow for the survival of plant life. The majority of ponding occurs on the City right-of-way. Boardmember Cherveny asked if the ponding has any affect on the bridge. Public Services Director Tecca explained that the water had cut away the bottom of the channel and caused erosion which came back to the bridge. Mrs. Cherveny asked if the eroded area by the bridge will be backfilled. Mr. Tecca explained that if the Board chooses to fill, then it will cost $8,000.. If the backfill is not done it will fill naturally from erosion settlement. Boardmember Alongi asked if Mr. Williams had been appraised of the channel situation. Public Services Director Tecca stated that he had been shown the plans and it had been explained to him how the whole project works. Mr. Tecca explained that the City will need to acquire a small piece of his property as part of the channel project to mitigate any potential problems. Boardmember Alongi asked what can be done to assure Mr. Williams that his fears are unfounded. Public Services Director Tecca explained that the only thing that we can do is present the facts of the project and the requirements of Fish and Game. Mr. Alongi stated that Mr. Williams is concerned with how the City will affect his property. He asked is there an alternate that can be offered to Mr. Williams. Mr. Tecca explained that all that can be done is to fill the low areas near his property and prevent ponding.

(F:Y2.3) IBoardmember Alongi inquired wha~. the purpose of Warrant 3691 ~o Escrow Chalet was. Administrative Services Director Boone advised fhat this was for acquisition of right-of-way at Malaga/Mission Trail, which relates to the D.D.A. with Camelot Properties. Boardmember Alongi inquired whether this was for a house on the County side of Malaga. Mr. Boone confirmed. Mr. Alongi asked City Attorney Harper whether this was an acceptable use for Redevelogment Agency fundse Legal Counsel Iiarper indicated that is an indirect situation, in that the developer was required to obtain the right-of-way; the developer negotiated and is acquiring the property and this is a reimbursement from the dollars granted to the developer £or ~he project. He further noted that the property will ultimately be deeded to the Agencye BoarcYmember Alongi inquired whether this was another loophole, and indicated that ~.he developer was conditioned to widen the City side of the street, not the County side. Legal Counsel Harper clarified that ~his item was pursuant to the agreement with the developer. Soardmember Alongi further questioned warrants issued to Creative Lighting, IIC-Frog, Peter Lehr, Rightway ancl the Californian.

(F:134.10) MOVED BY WASHBURN, SECONDED BY ALONGI TO APPROVE THE ENTRY LYCENSE AGREEt~IENT WITH THE LEHR FAMILY e Boardmember Alongi stated th3t in building the ball field he knows that there are things ~hat have been overlooked and will have to be addressed, but he would like clarification in regard to this agreement. He explained his concerns regarding ~he section which uses the word obligation, which to him means that the City pays. FIe asked staff if the City had taken dirt off the property and whether the City will now be obligated to pay to have it put back. Legal Counsel Harper explained that the City had removed dirt, and the Lehr Family is concerned with the obliga~ion, and not the removal or replacement of the dirt. If for any reason the license terminates, then the City is obligated to put the property back to the original condition; this is part of the Option and the Eastlake Development proceecls. ~oardmember Alongi asked if this portion that the agreement adclresses, is the Eastlalce project. Legal Counsel Harper stated that it is all part of the Lehr Option Agreement. Boardmember Alongi aslced if fhe East].ake Project does not go YAGE THREE - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MIN[JTEB - DECEMBER 14~ 1993 through and fails, will all the dirt be replaced from where it was removed. Legal Counsel Harper explained that what the City is obligated to do under this agreement, is if the license is ever terminated and the City has conducted activity on the Lehr property, then the City is obligated to replace whatever dirt was taken, and return the property to its original state. Mr. Harper clarifiecl that this is something that is not anticipated. Boardmember Alongi commented that a lot of things are not anticipated, but they do happen. He asked if this was in regard to the ball field or the total development. Legal Counsel Harper explained that the licensed area is not the ball field; the licensed area is adjacent to where the ball field area is. He explained that the dirt that was stock piled or taken, was related to the purposes of the ball field. Mr. Alongi explained that he was asking because, in the agreement it says "removed and must be replaced". Boardmember Alongi again questioned the obligation and what area of the development it affects. Legal Counsel Harper explained that this agreement allows ingress and egress to the license area for removal of dirt for the stadium and if the agreement terminates, then the City is obligated to return the property to its original state; however the only way that the agreement can be terminated is by breech of the agreement. Mr. Alongi asked if this agreement does allow the City to go on the Lehr property for the ball filed. Legal Counsel Harper stated that it does. Boardmember Alongi inquired when the ball field is completed and dirt has been removed from the Lehr property does the dirt have to be replaceci. Legal Counsel Harper explained that the only way that the City would have to replace the dirt is if Young Investments, representing Eastlake Development, does not acquire the additional options. Mr. Alongi questioned why ~hat information is not in 4.he body of the agreement for clarificatione There was general discussion in regard ta the action of removing dirt and the obligation of the Agency. Boardmember Alongi asked if Dan Young does not fulfill his portion of the obligation, will he be responsible for the replace of the dirt. Legal Counsel Harper stated that if Young Investments or Eastlake Builders does not fulfill their obligation, then the City would require them to honor the replacement of dirt through the DDA Agreement that the City has with them. The reason that the City is the one to do this agreement, is because the City is the option holder and we are doing the work. THE FOREGOING MOTION WAS APPROVED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE. 12. 13. (F:95.2) Vice Chairman Dominguez expressed concern that there are two areas which have not been developed yet; being across from PAGE FOIIR - RBDEVELOPMENT'AGENCY MINLiTE~ - DECEMBER 44y 8993 the Fire Station and across from the Community'Center.

Mr. Molendyk read the following letter from District Manaqer Jim Laughlin: Subject to the Board of Directors approval, at their regularly scheduled meeting on December 22, 1993, at 6:00 p.m., of a Minute Order adopting Staff recommendations made in the Staff Report sent to you earlier under PAGE TWO - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINQTEB - DECEMBER 22~ 1993 separate cover.
