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. .......,I 2 ,-... 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.

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. 3 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.

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. """" 4 ~ 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.

Vice-Chair Bhutta inquired what is next on the agenda. Information/Communications Manager Dennis responded the City is waiting for the City Attorney to complete the guidelines. '--' Vice-Chair Bhutta inquired what kind of time frame the City is looking at for Phase III, Public Outreach. Information/Communications Manager Dennis responded Phase III needs to be preceded with the draft ordinance and the material and studies that need to be completed before that process begins. Vice-Chair Bhutta reminded staff that he suggested to get people involved around the lake and a survey be prepared. Chairman Norkin requested staff to provide an outline of the Public Outreach process.

DENNIS INFORMATION & COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER DATE: JANUARY 9, 2008 "...... 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. Life Jacket Loaner Station January 9, 2008 Page 2 .....", Attached is a DRAFT version of the loaner station and associated signage.

"""" ~ CITY OF A LAI(J: 6LSil'iORJ; '-I ~~ DREAM ExtREME CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE 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.

FROM: 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. ~ Ordinance Regulating Hotel Registration January 9, 2008 Page 2 Fiscal Impact "will.
