2. Draft Ordinance Establishinq Special Event Permit Requirement for Hvdroplane
Vessels
Lake & Aquatic Resources Director Kilroy presented the staff report. He noted
currently, there is no regulation to prevent hydroplane vessels that can exceed """"
speeds in excess of 150 mph and can become air borne from operating on Lake
Elsinore.
Vice-Chair Bhutta stated the owner of Freedom Racing Team seemed to be a
responsible person. However, he stated this type of boating is incompatible with
amateur boaters and is a safety concern. He noted the City should require these
types of operators to obtain a special permit; however, not place too many
additional conditions.
Commissioner Lyons inquired if this ordinance pertained to all vessels that can
run over 80 mph.
Lake & Aquatic Resources Director Kilroy responded this ordinance only
pertained to hydroplane vessels.
Chairman Norkin inquired what was covered under a special permit.
Lake & Aquatic Resources Director Kilroy responded the special permit is a $200
processing fee, with a $1,000 refundable deposit, based on the event and
everything being intact after the event.

Commissioner Dailey stated she was glad the Commission visited this issue and
would like the Commission to visit this issue every year. She also thanked staff
for all of the hard work.
Commissioner Lyons inquired what other boats would fall under the category of
hydroplane vessels and would this ordinance apply to them.
Lake & Aquatic Resources Director Kilroy responded the City would follow the
guidelines of the National Jet Boat Racing Association of what qualifies as high
end hydroplanes.
Commissioner Stewart inquired if this ordinance established a speed limit in the
high speed zone.
Lake & Aquatic Resources Director Kilroy confirmed it did not.
It was motioned by Vice-Chair Bhutta, and seconded by Commissioner Stewart
to recommend placing the ordinance on the City Council agenda for
consideration.

3. Ordinance ReQulatinQ Hotel and Motel Registration
Information/Communications Manager Dennis introduced Deputy Narciso who
presented the staff report. He stated the Lake Elsinore Police Department is
requesting City Council to adopt an ordinance mandating that hotels and motels
require guests to provide identification prior to renting a room. He stated the
Police Department believes that requiring identification will protect the public from
fraudulent credit card use and theft.
,-...
Vice-Chair Bhutta stated he agreed with the Police Department and stated the
City needed this type of ordinance.

Chairman Norkin inquired how long the hotels will need to hold onto this
information, how it is going to be enforced, and if the City finds the hotels in non-
compliance, what are the repercussions.
""-II'
Assistant City Attorney Mann responded the statute does not provide as to how
long the hotels would hold onto the information. He stated it could be added to
the ordinance. He also stated the Municipal Code has a catch all provision at the
front end that allows for the City to impose an infraction or a misdemeanor fine
on anyone who violates a Municipal Code section.
It was motioned by Commissioner Dailey, and seconded by Vice-Chair Bhutta to
recommend adoption by the City Council.

4. Status Report Implementation of Shoreline Safety-Life Savino Rinos and
Emeroency Call Boxes
Lake & Aquatic Resources Director Kilroy presented the staff report. He noted
an error in the staff report indicating that ten Life Saving Rings where purchased
when only nine were purchased. He stated nine have been installed and one is
on order. He also reported prior to ordering the emergency call boxes, it was
determined that the proposed emergency call box system would not work with
the County's 911 system. He noted that the call boxes are based upon an "auto
dialer" system. He indicated that the Sheriffs Department was concerned about
the high frequency of "false 911 phone calls" and may slow the response to
actual emergencies.
Lake & Aquatic Resources Director Kilroy indicated the City is exploring the
screening of calls from the emergency boxes by a private security/alarm
monitoring company. However, this raises issues of properly "labeling' the call
boxes, as well as City liability for dependable management of the system.
""""

~
Commissioner Dailey recommended the call boxes be raised to keep out of the
reach of children.
Vice-Chair Bhutta inquired if the City has looked into private monitoring
companies.
Lake & Aquatic Resources Director Kilroy responded he has not.
Vice-Chair Bhutta inquired if there will be signs placed around the boxes, both in
English and in Spanish, stating "if there is a 9-1-1 emergency, please use your
cell phone."
Lake & Aquatic Resources Director Kilroy confirmed signs will be placed near the
boxes both in English and in Spanish.
Commissioner Stewart inquired if staff knew of any other places where the "Code
Blue" boxes have been used, where staff could do a parallel study with their
statistic with regard to vandalism and false calls.
Lake & Aquatic Resources Director Kilroy responded the vendor did provide the
City with different locations where these boxes have been installed. He noted the
vendor has not been too helpful and stated he will continue to pursue this.
/'""
Chairman Norkin inquired if a pilot program can be started well before
summertime to determine the usefulness of these boxes.
Lake & Aquatic Resources Director Kilroy stated the City is just going to have to
work out who is going to screen these calls.
Chairman Norkin stated he recommended this be accomplished and these boxes
be installed by next summer.
It was motioned by Commissioner Dailey, and seconded by Commissioner
Stewart to receive and file the report.

around the lake and a survey be prepared.

process.
Information/Communications Manager Dennis provided the background on the
process of the Public Outreach for example; doing a survey, direct mail pieces,

SUBJECT: PROPOSED LIFE JACKET LOANER STATION(S) FOR ELM GROVE
BEACH AREA
BACKGROUND
The Shoreline Safety Assessment Report recommended the City implement a "loaner or
rental Life Jacket / PFD" (Personal Floatation Device) program for the most popular and
frequented wading beaches. Providing free loaner life jackets that are hung on a peg at
beach access points adds an additional layer of safety for small children and non-
swimmers wading in the Lake.
DISCUSSION
Acting upon previous discussions with the PSAC, City Staff proposes to install four "Life
Jacket Loaner Stations" at the access points to Elm Grove Beach.
The design of the station{s) would consist of one 4' high x 6' long aluminum sign mounted
on metal poles. Below the sign would be mounted a 2"x6" plastic/wood composite with five
or six pegs for hanging the loaner life jackets. The life jackets would come in various sizes.
All life jackets would be labeled "Property C.O.L.E." to reduce theft. Attached is a
schematic of the proposed station.
/"'"
The design of the sign includes English and Spanish languages, life jacket graphic,
recommendation for use, importance of proper size selection and fitting.

Attached is a DRAFT version of the loaner station and associated signage.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost to fabricate and install the four stations is estimated at $4,000. Funding is
already available through the CIP budget.

REPORT TO PUBLIC SAFETY ADVISORY COMMISSION
TO:
CHAIRMAN AND COMMISSIONERS
FROM:
MARK E. DENNIS
INFORMATION & COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER
DATE:
JANUARY 9, 2008
~
SUBJECT: MID-YEAR OPERATING BUDGET ADJUSTMENT, PSAC
BACKGROUND
Building permit revenue for fiscal year 2007-08 is approximately $1.6 million less than
projected, primarily because of a sharp decline in building permits for new housing starts.
The City is taking corrective action to balance the budget at mid-year.
To close this shortfall, staff is reducing expenditures in all departments by at least 5%. The
net result to PSAC is a recommended budget reduction of $27,250 in FY 07-08.
DISCUSSION
While the PSAC does not have direct budget authority, PSAC related public safety
outreach programs and expenditures are tracked in the City's operating budget. In FY
2007-08, total funding for PSAC outreach programs was $43,200.
Each January, staff presents a mid-year review of budget performance to the City Council.
Any needed adjustments to maintain a balanced budget are recommended to the City
Council during the mid-year budget process.
To help balance the budget at mid-year, staff is recommending a one-time reduction of
$27,250 and a decrease of $17,250 in FY 08-09. The impact of these cuts upon selected
PSAC information programs is shown on the table in Attachment 'A.'

REPORT TO PUBLIC SAFETY ADVISORY COMMISSION
CHAIRMAN AND COMMISSIONERS
MARK DENNIS
INFORMA TION/COMMUNICA TIONS MANAGER
TO:
DATE:
JANUARY 9, 2008
SUBJECT: RECONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE REGULATING HOTEL AND
MOTEL REGISTRATION
Backaround
Following a request by the Lake Elsinore Police Department, the City Attorney's office
presented an ordinance mandating that hotels and motels require guests to provide
identification prior to renting a room. That ordinance was considered by the
Commission at its November 14, 2007 meeting. However, following the Commission's
decision to recommend approval of the ordinance, the Police Department indicated that
the ordinance should include some additional provisions.
~
The City Attorney's office responded to these comments by conducting a review of
possible sample ordinances in addition to the original sample ordinance from San Diego
provided by the Police Department. The attached ordinance represents the culmination
of that additional review and the comments.
Discussion
The proposed draft ordinance contains four additional features. First, it incorporates a
Commission recommendation that the records be maintained for three years. Secondly,
it provides for identification to include a photograph. Third, the ordinance requires
guests to include their vehicle make and license number information as part of the
registration. Finally, the ordinance requires innkeepers to notify the police when renting
a room to a minor.
In closing, City staff acknowledges that this matter is before the Commission for the
second time. City staff, the City Attorney's office and the Police Department will
redouble their efforts to ensure better coordination in the future with respect to bringing
forth proposed ordinances that are in final form when initially presented.
