The City Council approved the new fines and penalties, or bail schedule, on April 24, 2007. Attached for your information is the staff report and updated bail schedule. The combined fines and penalties will increase revenue approximately 15%, chiefly from parking and lake use violations. ~ The new fine and penalty schedule is effective immediately. ,~ ",.-- CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: ROBERT A. BRADY, CITY MANAGER DATE: APRIL 24, 2007 SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTIONS ESTABLISHING FINES AND PENALTIES OF PARKING AND LAKE USE VIOLATIONS BACKGROUND The City's Code Enforcement Division recently commenced a review ofthe fines and penalties imposed by the City for parking violations. Additionally, the Lake and Aquatic Resources Department also reviewed the current schedule of fines for Lake use violations. ~ DISCUSSION In reviewing the current parking violation penalties, staff noted that the City's fine schedule was largely adopted in the mid-1990's. City staff also compared fines schedules in Moreno Valley, Temecula and Murrieta. The City was at, or often below, the fine levels in Moreno Valley (typically, $25, $33 or $78) and Murrieta (typically $35 to $50), and roughly the same or slightly more than Murrieta (typically $25). City staff believes that an modest increase in fines to the $35 to $50 range for most violations, along with penalties for late payment, will act as a stronger deterrent to parking violators and encourage timely payment. This range represents a modest increase and is consistent with nearby City of Murrieta. Additionally, the Lake Department reviewed, in consultation with the Police Department, the City's existing fine schedule for violation of the City's various Lake use regulations. In order to better deter boaters from entering the Lake without a Lake Use Pass or otherwise enter restricted areas, staff recommends increasing these fines from $65 to $150. ~ REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL APRIL 24, 2007 PAGE20F2 ......, FISCAL IMPACT The City may see a modest increase of revenue from fines of approximately 15%.

At the Chairman's request, the traffic engineer responded with the following assessment. ,,-.. The most recent Citywide Speedzone Survey Study shows two accidents in two years last reported in 2004. The warrant for a four-way stop is five accidents in one year. Future development on Franklin will likely result in the developer(s) being conditioned to put in the ultimate intersection improvements at Main and Franklin. A nexus is required for conditions of approval, such as requiring installation of a new traffic signal. Engineering staff has recommended hiring a consultant to record traffic counts now to determine if a four-way stop is warranted at this time. We should know a schedule for this process to be complete by the end of May. If the four-way stop is warranted, staff could initiate these improvements sooner, rather than waiting on future development to be conditioned for these improvements. ""' .: Print Version :.

Two cities in the western part of the county were among the fastest-growing in California, the Department of Finance said in a report this week. Beaumont's population grew 21.2 percent to 28,250, faster than any other city in the state. Lake Elsinore's 6,363 new residents boosted its /""' population to 47,634 and its growth rate to 15.4 percent, the state's third-highest among cities. New residents in those cities, Perris, San Jacinto and Indio helped make Riverside County the fastest-growing large county in the state. With 2.03 million residents, the county now ranks ahead of San Bernardino as the fourth-most populous. The agency's report, released Tuesday, showed a wave of housing construction that has moved further inland, even as a real estate boom continued to fade from Southern California's suburbs. "We're really coming into our own," Kim Cousins, a school board member in Lake Elsinore, said Wednesday. Like Beaumont, Lake Elsinore has grown by more than 6 percent annually for the last five years. The torrid growth had begun to strain the ability of the city and the school district to keep up with new facilities, Cousins said; a slowing of housing construction since last summer has actually been welcome. Owners of houses built since 2003 pay $318 a year to help fund police and fire service, Mayor Bob Magee noted. Virtually every part of the county continued to add residents, but growth rates in Temecula and Murrieta eased to 3.6 percent and 3.9 percent, respectively, from double-digit rates as recently as 2002. Local cities' generally high growth rates in the last five years have helped to boost their clout in Sacramento, even though legislative districts haven't been redrawn to reflect the growth, said Cousins, who is also a board member of the Southwest California Legislative Council, an advocacy group for local businesses. As evidence, Cousins cited a state agency's allocation of $4.5 billion in transportation bond money that voters approved in November. The California Transportation Commission marked $195 million for highways within Riverside County. Local commuters could also benefit from another $420 million for new freeway lanes on Interstate 15 in central San Diego County and Highway 91 in Orange County. /"" .ess than a quarter of Riverside County's population growth was due to "natural increase," the difference Jetween births and deaths. Natural increase accounted for nearly 100 percent of the growth in San Diego County's population. It accounted for more than 100 percent of growth in the counties of Los Angeles and Orange; more residents left those two counties than moved in. http://www.nctimes.com/artic1es/2007 /05/03/news/califomian/4 _01_005_2_07. prt 5/3/2007 .: Print Version :. Page 2 of2 People moving in from outside accounted for 76 percent of Riverside County's growth, the department reported. Regional economist John Husing saw a parallel to the region's job markets: While state data showed employers adding 27,500 jobs in Riverside County between March 2006 and March 2007, employers added just 17,000 jobs in San Diego County, which has a much larger population. "-' More than 80 percent of people moving into Riverside County came from elsewhere in the United States, contrasting sharply with most other large California counties, Department of Finance analyst Linda Gage said. More people left San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles and San Francisco counties than moved in from elsewhere in the nation, though immigration and births caused all four to continue growing, according to department figures. "For a county the size of Riverside, you've had some pretty incredible percentage changes this decade," Gage said. -- Contact staff writer Chris Bagley at (951) 676-4315, Ext. 2615, or cbagley@californian.com.

City manager has many fans; Bob Brady lauded for communication skills By: JOSE CARVAJAL - Staff Writer LAKE ELSINORE -- Michael O'Neal can get pretty passionate. When something or someone gets his goat, the longtime Lake Elsinore resident and Planning Commission chairman isn't afraid to express how he feels. Not in private, not on the phone, not during public meetings. But if there's one person at City Hall who knows how to handle him well, it's City Manager Bob Brady. "Dealing with me is at times not an easy proposition," O'Neal said recently. "But regardless of if I'm reacting intelligently or I'm reacting emotionally, Bob seems to take it in stride and takes the things I say and makes them into constructive statements. "You couldn't ask for somebody to react better," he added. "We're never going to agree on everything. But anyone can walk away from a conversation with him knowing he's had a fair hearing." That last statement seems to be the consensus about Brady. Nearly two years after becoming the city's top administrator, Brady has, by many accounts, adjusted nicely to the role and has made his impact on city government. City Hall has become a more open and efficient place under his stewardship, local politicos and community members are saying, and the city is flourishing on his watch. A good communicator ,....... Brady is getting particular praise for communicating openly and often with just about everybody, something that many say was a rarity at City Hall before he got there. In a town with varying constituencies that can get angry and aren't afraid to bring their complaints to City Hall, city leaders and political observers say, Brady is adept at 5/3/2007 .: Print Version :. Page 2 of3 handling all of them and making people feel that, at the very least, they've been heard. For the 49-year-old Brady, it's all about listening and being responsive. ...., "I try to look at the positive," he said. "I look at the situation and see how we can make it a positive." That's even got some people in town who were initially skeptical of his June 2005 appointment as city manager singing his praises. "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes," said Chris Hyland, an outspoken community activist who was one of the early skeptics. "I never have any problems contacting him and getting an answer immediately. He is absolutely the best there. He is very conscious of the taxpayers and the citizens of this community." The City Council recently rewarded Brady, who had been the city's community development director before becoming the interim city manager and then getting the job permanently, by giving him a $25,000 raise -- upping his yearly salary to $175,000 -- and extending his contract three years to 2011. Strong council support Mayor Bob Magee emphasized recently that the council did so unanimously. "It's crystal clear that all five council members are pleased with the decision we made and the job that Bob has done," Magee said. "I'm thrilled that we got him (extended). It's like an NFL quarterback a year away from free agency. I'm glad that we were able to lock him up." Brady, who, unlike previous city managers, lives in Lake Elsinore, is pretty much on the clock all the time, Magee added. Whether he's at City Hall or at the grocery store, he's always willing to talk to people about whatever issues they bring up or concerns they raise, Magee said. He tells the story of an agitated resident who came to City Hall recently to complain about something happening at the city campground. Brady, he said, was more than willing to sit with the man and discuss his concerns. ~ "He will take his time to meet with almost every constituent," Magee said. "That's not an isolated incident. He does it all the time. He does it in the grocery store. He'll do it out on the street. For Bob, this is a 24/7 commitment. We've never had that level of commitment." Since he took over as city manager in 2005, replacing Dick Watenpaugh, who had held the job since 1997, the city has seen significant commercial and residential growth. While much of that development was attracted to the city while Brady was the community development director, a post he held beginning in 1999, he got to usher it through the planning process and now is seeing it come to fruition. Also under his watch, the city's financial situation has steadily improved. The city is operating with balanced budgets, is steadily improving its spending on public safety and is setting aside money for key capital improvement projects. Last year, as an example of just how much better the city is doing fiscally, finance officials announced that the budget was nearly $7 million in the black. Though the responsibility for the city's finances ultimately rests with the council, Brady deserves credit for figuring out ways to make the council's vision come to life, council members say. Magee in particular is pleased with Brady -- and with city Finance Director Matt Pressey, for that matter -- for his conservative approach to budgeting. "They're making us look great," he said. "We've been very clear and united on a balanced budget and public safety as the NO.1 priority. They know that and they make sure the budget reflects that. They're also frugal and they think long term. I think we're in really good hands with those guys." Looking ahead Over the next several years, Magee said, the smart spending should continue. So, too, should Brady's efforts to ...., make City Hall accessible and to increase communication among city staff, elected officials and the public. 5/3/2007 .:Print Version :. Page 3 of3 r" Brady, for his part, recognizes that there is still work to be done. While he recognizes that the city has come a long way in the last couple of years, he also says that it has a long way to go. And he couldn't be more pleased to get a long-term commitment from the council. He loves the job. "It is stimulating and it is challenging at times," Brady said. Looking ahead, there are several goals he plans to work on. Continuing to improve the city's economic position is a top priority, Brady said. The city needs to add more jobs and needs to continue with the commercial development that is taking off, he said. Another key priority will be the city's commitment to provide more in the way of public safety services. The council recently decided that it wants to increase the ratio of police officers to residents and that will be something City Hall is going to have to stay on top of, he said. Of course, continuing the openness at City Hall is also important. When he first became city manager, Brady said, there was a perceived distance between the office and the rank- and-file employees. Over the last couple of years, he said, he's tried to eliminate that distance. Anybody -- city staff, elected leaders, residents, business leaders -- should feel they have the right to stop by, Brady said. "People were afraid to come to the city manager's office," he said. "So I've tried to open that up. I'm just a regular person, a regular guy." ,-. -- Contact staff writer Jose Carvajal at (951) 676-4315, Ext. 2624, or jcarvajal@californian.com. r" 5/3/2007 .: Print Version :.

STEVE THORNTON Staff Photographer LAKE Order a copy of this photo ELSINORe'it our Photo Gal/ery --Ike and Squeaker Bootsma have camped on their lakefront property several times a year for more than 20 years. Each time they do it, the Bootsmas simply head down from their Corona home to their small stretch of land on Lakeshore Drive near Wilson Way in Lake Elsinore and park their trailer. Their property reaches from Lakeshore to the water. ~ And getting there to enjoy it has never really been a problem. Until now. 5/312007 .: Print Version :. Page 2 of2 The Bootsmas were recently told that, from now on, every time they want to camp on their property, they have to get a permit from the city. Moreover, they were informed by city code enforcement officials, they would only be allowed to camp there for seven days at a time and could only do it four times a year. For the permit, the Bootsmas were also told, they would have to pay a $25 processing fee. That did not sit well with the Corona couple. ~ "We don't go down there that often, but I resent being told how often we can go," Squeaker Bootsma said. The Bootsmas, it turns out, are not alone. Severallakefront property owners said Wednesday they're not pleased the city has imposed these new restrictions. "It's just not right," said property owner Dennis Fahey. City officials say they're aware of the complaints. While they want to continue encouraging people to take advantage of their property and the lake, they said Wednesday, they also have a responsibility to maintain the integrity of the lake's shore. That includes making sure people aren't camping there for weeks at a time. Many of the people who have been found doing that in recent years, Mayor Bob Magee said, have had weapons, drugs and warrants for their arrests. Over the last 18 months, he said, the city has made strides in cracking down on illegal encampments and clearing up unsightly properties. "We have an obligation to take care of the scenic beauty that is the lake," he said. ..... The real issue is it can't be a full-time residence for somebody. You can't park an RV down there 365 days a year and it can't turn into RV storage. .. Yet, Magee and other city officials recognize that some law-abiding property owners are getting caught up in their effort to clean up the shore. The area in question is in what is called the Lakeshore Overlay District, which runs on the eastern side of the lake from north to south. ....., Properties in the district are zoned for very specific recreational uses and camping is one of the few things owners can do with the land. Robin Chipman, the city's code enforcement and building manager, said the city came up with the recent restrictions during discussions about enforcing a 1986 ordinance that allows only limited overnight camping along the lake, Chipman said. The ordinance, which allows camping at authorized public and private facilities, states that private property owners can only camp on their land after getting a permit. But for years, Chipman said, the city didn't enforce that provision because it is vague. So when city officials began talking about cracking down on long-term encampments, he said, they decided to institute the new restrictions so they could differentiate between those who camp for short stretches and those who stay longer. The seven-day limit and the four-camping-trip cap were modeled after regulations created for state wildlife and recreation areas, Chipman said. Magee said the city will look into easing up a little on those specific restrictions. "You write laws for the one percent of the community that doesn't obey the rules," he said. "We need to find a way to restrict the bad players, while not over-regulating the law-abiding taxpayers." -- Contact staff writer Jose Carvajal at (951) 676-4315, Ext. 2624, or jcarvajal@californian.com. ....., 5/312007 ,....... Roses and Raspberries April 26, 2007 By: The Californian - A raspberry -- the "Unhappy Campers" award -- to the city of Lake Elsinore for its over-reaching efforts to clean up its lakefront, penalizing law-abiding landowners along with the riffraff it is seeking to eliminate. At issue is a 20-year-old rule that limits how often property owners on the northeast side of the lake can camp on their land. The rules have been rarely enforced in that period so most current property owners weren't even aware they existed, but the city has begun enforcing them again, requiring people to get a $25 permit to camp there and limiting how often they are allowed to do so. The city is in a tough spot. A blighted shoreline definitely detracts from its efforts to turn the lake into a tourist attraction and can even prove a health hazard if people don't have appropriate sanitary facilities. But the answer isn't cracking down on the people who aren't a problem; it needs to focus on the people who are. In fact, the city has made great strides in cleaning up the lakefront in the last year and a half -- without cracking down on legitimate property owner/campers. Requiring permits lets the city know who's legitimate and who's a squatter, but property owners should not have to pay a fee to the city to use their land, and they should not be so limited in how often they can use it. The city says it patterned its limit of four times a year for seven days at a time after state law pertaining to camping in public wildlife and recreation areas. But the key word there is "public." ,.- The city is placing unreasonable limits on people's use of their own land. ,.- .: Print Version :. rage::; 1 Ul .)

No one was arrested, but a 17 -year-old girl whom officers believe had one of the realistic-looking guns, was cited for daytime loitering as she should have been in school, Adams said. In the wake of the massacre at Virginia Tech, tensions were high on and near campuses in Southwest County ""-'" and across the country. Numerous threats were reported and investigated as the fear of possibly more violence has police, school officials and parents being extra vigilant. A student at Elsinore High was suspended for saying he was "going to go Virginia Tech on you" to another student, Lake Elsinore Unified School District Superintendent Frank Passarella said. A Lakeland Village Middle School student was also suspended Wednesday, Passarella said, after threatening to bring a gun to school. Police went to the student's home and found no weapons, he added. Passarella said the district has to take such threats seriously. Both students face possible expulsion, he said. He sent e-mails and placed phone calls to parents in the district on Wednesday night reminding them to talk to their children about the importance of not making inappropriate comments, even jokingly. "We're not going to construe these as just a joke," Passarella said. At Vista Murrieta High on Clinton Keith Road, the threatening words were found by school staff shortly after 6 a.m. on a wall near the athletic fields, Murrieta police Lt. Dennis Vrooman said. It was quickly reported to police who, with school officials, "methodically searched each room" on the sprawling campus, Vrooman said. "Teachers were alerted to check classrooms," he said. The Hazardous Devices Team from the Riverside County Sheriffs Department was called and brought bomb- sniffing dogs to search for any possible explosives. "We didn't find any suspicious packages or devices," Vrooman said. ""-'" After the campus was determined to be safe, classes went on as usual. "We are reviewing video surveillance footage in an effort to try and determine who may have done this," Vrooman said. Murrieta schools are no stranger to threats found on campuses. Six such threats have been found since May, leading to some arrests. In each case, school officials have sent home letters, posted news on the district's Web site and alerted local media about the threats. Campus security and the presence of Murrieta police officers at schools are also increased after each threat. Wednesday's threats come a day after gang-related graffiti was found elsewhere at Vista Murrieta High. Detectives are checking to see if the two incidents may be related, but so far they do not appear to be. Vrooman said graffiti found Tuesday has been identified with a San Marcos-based gang and contained no threats to the school or students. It was also on the other end of the campus from the graffiti discovered Wednesday. Karen Parris, spokeswoman for the Murrieta Valley Unified School District, said that, while district officials are taking Wednesday's threat seriously, they have no reason to believe it to be a credible threat. "There is definitely a concern on students' part in light of things that have taken place in Virginia," Parris said. "Everyone has a heightened sense of awareness and concern, so we take this very seriously." """ That feeling was echoed by Kris Thomasian, president of the district's board. 5/3/2007 .: Print Version :. Page 3 of3 "Our district has a very consistent history of taking these threats seriously and fully investigating and doing ~ everything we possibly can do to ensure the students are safe," Thomasian said. Wednesday's threat specifically mentions that "everyone at VMHS will die on 4/20," according to authorities. April 20 -- Friday -- is the anniversary of the 1999 Columbine High shootings. That, combined with Wednesday's threatening graffiti, has many parents concerned. Some plan to keep their children out of school Friday. The mother of a boy who is a junior at Vista Murrieta says she is one of those parents. Identifying herself only by her first name of Cindy, she said she is aware of at least a dozen families in her neighborhood whose children won't be in school Friday. "I think this is something we have to take very seriously," she said. "I'd like to take it lightly but you just can't with what's going on in the world these days," she said, speaking of not just the local threat but actual school shootings such as those in Columbine and Virginia Tech. "It's pretty scary. We are a big city now," she added. Local law enforcement agencies say they will be beefing up security at all schools the remainder of this week, particularly Friday. Parents can expect to see extra patrols and more school resource officers as part of the heightened police presence, authorities said. Threats and hoaxes have happened on campuses across the country since 32 people and their killer died ,-.. Monday at Virginia Tech. At San Diego State University, officials reported Wednesday that the school received a threat of "violent acts similar to what occurred at Virginia Tech" which are supposed to happen today. On Wednesday, a North Carolina teenager shot and killed himself shortly after pointing a handgun at two other students in a high school parking lot, police said. Schools in Huntersville were locked down after the 16-year-old, whose name wasn't released, made threatening gestures in a parking lot at the high school he attended, police there said. Eight buildings at the University of Minnesota were evacuated Wednesday after a professor discovered a bomb threat. The professor found a note that included a bomb threat targeting several campus buildings. The buildings, including a library, were evacuated and classes in those buildings were canceled for the day. Tuesday threats forced lockdowns and evacuations at universities in Texas, Oklahoma and Tennessee, as well as two public schools in Louisiana. authorities reported. -- Staff writer Jennifer Kabbany and the Associated Press contributed to this report. ,-.. 5/3/2007 Page 1 of2 Marlene Paltza /" From: Marlene Paltza Sent: Friday, April 13, 2007 3:06 PM To: Robert Magee; Robert Schiffner; Daryl Hickman; Genie Kelley; Thomas Buckley; Bob Brady; barbara@ceqa.com; Matt Pressey; Mark Dennis; Cathy Barrozo; Steven McCarty; Jessica Guzman Cc: Susan Reid; Marlene Paltza Subject: Lake Elsinore Council Adopts New Fireworks Ban Lake Elsinore Council adopts new fireworks ban 10:00 PM PDT on Tuesday, April 10, 2007 By MARY BENDER The Press-Enterprise LAKE ELSINORE - The city's ban against fireworks, including so-called safe and sane varieties, had long been condensed to a single, generally-worded paragraph in the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code. On Tuesday night, the City Council tossed out that old version and replaced it with Riverside County's longer and more specific fireworks ban, which will become law in Lake Elsinore when the ordinance takes effect in 30 days. The City Council introduced the seven-page ordinance at its March 27 meeting. On Tuesday, the council adopted it unanimously and without comment. /" "This gives us the tools to provide better enforcement," city spokesman Mark Dennis said after the meeting. The fireworks ban imposes fines ranging from $500 to $1,000 for anyone convicted of using, possessing, storing, manufacturing, selling, transporting, igniting, discharging or exploding any fireworks, whether they be illegal varieties or others sold in many Southern California cities. Offenders also could face a one-year term in Riverside County jail if convicted. Further, under the ordinance, a property owner also will be held responsible if he or she allows people to engage in any of the banned activity on his or her property. The ordinance will be in place by summer, when fireworks usage peaks. Earlier this year, the Western Riverside Council of Governments urged local cities, including Lake Elsinore, to incorporate Riverside County's detailed fireworks ordinance into their own municipal codes, Dennis said. The new regulations will enhance the "preservation of the public peace, health (and) safety," the ordinance states, citing the danger of injury, especially to children. "Fireworks are often stored without safety precautions in residential neighborhoods," it said. "Fireworks often come from countries where safety regulations for making fireworks are not as stringent as those for fireworks manufactured in the United States," the code states. The ordinance spells out specific ingredients that are banned, including arsenic sulfide, phosphorous and boron, and types of fireworks that fall under the new prohibitions, including skyrockets that "rise into the air during discharge," Roman candles or similar devices that ./" "discharge balls of fire into the air," chasers that "dart or travel about the surface of the ground during discharge," and any sort of firework made to explode in a manner unexpected by the user. The ordinance allows a few categories of people to use fireworks -- most notably licensed 5/3/2007 Page 20f2 pyrotechnic operators who have been granted a permit from the fire chief and the sheriff to stage a public fireworks display, such as those sponsored by cities on Independence Day.

This presentation by Cynthia Quigley, Emergency Services Coordinator with the Riverside County Office of Emergency Services (DES), highlights the Temecula Citizen Corps (TCC), a case study that can aid the City of Lake Elsinore in developing a framework for establishing, training, equipping and mobilizing a dedicated volunteer network. ~ DISCUSSION Promoting emergency preparedness to the public and the ability to effectively organize disaster response volunteers is a public safety outreach goal and an essential element in disaster planning. Public Works Manager Bill Payne oversees the City's disaster planning efforts and works collaboratively with the County DES. The City does not currently have a dedicated volunteer network for disaster preparedness functions. A model for a successful collaborative volunteer program is the Temecula Citizen Corps (TCC), established in 2002 under the auspices of the National Homeland Security Department and the City of Temecula (background information is attached). One role ofthe Public Safety Advisory Commission is to assist the City in emergency preparedness outreach and crisis management (Ordinance 1116, section 2.46.020, F.). To this end, PSAC involvement is needed to develop a framework for establishing, training, equipping and mobilizing a dedicated volunteer network. Cynthia Quigley and Bill Payne will present this item for PSAC discussion and consideration. ,-. AGENDA ITEM NO. ..</ PAGE.. I OF~ Public Safety Advisory Commission Item 21 (continued) May 9, 2007 Page 2 of 3 ~ FISCAL IMPACT Unknown at this time. The annual cost could range from $10,000 at startup to $30,000, or more, as the City grows. For example, the TCC operating budget includes private donations from fund raisers and $30,000 from the City of Temecula. Funding is used for the following: · Equipment and emergency supply purchases (e.g., safety articles for volunteers, portable radios, emergency trailer restocking, etc.) · Staff and community training (e.g., CER T training, state and national seminars for leadership positions, community safety drills) · Promotion and marketing (e.g., open houses, reverse 911 messages, special events) . Administrative costs (e.g., printing and mailing, membership support, purchasing, etc.) Governance of the TCC and budget oversight falls under the Temecula Citizen Corps Council. Administrative duties are supported by Council subcommittees in task areas for Marketing, Training and Leadership/Membership. Staff support is supplied by the Fire Department and City Hall. ........, The first step towards establishing the City's own local volunteer network is to collaborate with PSAC on developing a framework, which would include the following elements: 1. Mission Statement 2. Goals and Objectives 3. Governance (Administrative Council membership, duties, procedures) 4. Council Task Area Definitions (e.g., membership/leadership, training, promotion and marketing, budgeting, etc.) 5. Volunteer Functions and Duties 6. Funding 7.

Public Safety Advisory Commission Item 21 (continued) May 9, 2007 Page 3 of 3 The key to any successful volunteer program is sustainability.

Stewart, following a recent fatal accident involving an off-road rider. Ms. Stewart has advocated using local partnerships to educate both the community and off-road enthusiasts about City laws, safety requirements and responsibilities. ..-.- DISCUSSION The increasing popularity of off-highway motorized vehicles (OHMV) can easily be gauged by the number of riders frequenting the hills, canyons and trails of Lake Elsinore. Unfortunately, the impact of illegal off-roading includes vandalism, damage to the environment, complaints from residents and property owners, accidents, and occasionally, fatal injuries. Within City limits, off-road enforcement is performed by the LEPD, primarily through the Riverside County Sheriff s Department Off-highway Vehicle Enforcement Program (R.O. V .E.). As shown in attachment 'A', the RO.V.E. team is equipped with quad-type equipment and trained officers for this special duty. A combination of grant and local funding determines the frequency and availability ofRO.V.E. services to the City. The LEPD, R.O.V.E. and Code Enforcement Division share enforcement responsibilities. When illegal off-roading involves vandalism, such as removal of fencing and No Trespassing signs, Code Enforcement officers may also cite any offenders they catch. Fines begin at $100, typically. Off-roading is problematic in Lake Elsinore because the hilly terrain and accessible trails that attract off-road enthusiasts are quite often on private property. While available resources for enforcement are judiciously administered, increasing community education and RO.V.E. activity requires more funding and staff time than is currently available. - AGENDA ITEM NO. ;Z.:J...

Page 2 of 4 Riverside County is the fourth largest county in California and is one of the fastest growing counties in the United States. Combined with many months of sunshine and several hundred square miles of undeveloped land, it's no wonder why so many people choose to make Riverside County their home. Residents and visitors alike enjoy the terrain Riverside County has to offer for their outdoor activities such as riding Off-Highway Vehicles. -.."", The huge influx of OHV use is taking its toll on the County's landscape. No doubt about it, riding OHV's is a fantastic way to enjoy the outdoors, but OHV's can have a damaging effect on private and public property. The need to educate the public and direct them to legal OHV riding areas has never been more important. While enforcement is often necessary, education is the key to safe, legal and responsible OHV recreation. The Riverside County Sheriffs Department encourages owners of OHV's to seek out those legal places to ride and enjoy what Riverside County has to offer. State of California Off-Highway Vehicle Education/Enforcement Grants The Riverside County Sheriffs Department has made OHV education and enforcement a priority. We have the responsibility to protect the rights of private landowners as well as the quality of life for residents who live nearby OHV riding locations. This responsibility also extends to publicly owned lands, some of which are wildlife habitat areas set apart to protect endangered plant and wildlife species. With grants funded by the California State Parks Off- Highway Division, Riverside County Sheriffs Department personnel have implemented the RO.V.E., (Riverside County Sheriffs Department Off-Highway Vehicle Enforcement) program. Sheriffs deputies assigned to the RO.V.E. program will provide OHV education and enforcement on a regular basis throughout the peak riding season. The RO.V.E. program is in its third years and is an effective tool to better educate OHV riders while protecting the environment, the tranquility of residential communities, and the property interests of landowners. The men and women of the Riverside County Sheriffs Department appreciate your cooperation in helping us promote safe and legal recreational opportunities for everyone. hrtp://www.riversidesheriff.org/rove/index.html -.."", -.."", AGENDA ITEM NO. . c1:L PAGE... .

The RO.V.E. program is comprised of approximately 100 deputy sheriffs who have successfully completed a certified law enforcement ATV course. The goal of the RO.V.E. program is to educate the public about the proper use of OHV equipment, land use, and enforce the OHV laws when applicable. Although there are many nearby undeveloped areas that are convenient and accessible to ride your OHV's, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department recommends that you ride your OHV's only on approved OHV riding areas. Remember, in order to ride OHV's on any property, private or public, the OHV rider must have express written permission from the property owner in their possession in order to be in compliance. Posse Members Mounted Posse members, who serve the Riverside County Sheriffs Department, assist R.O.V.E. deputies during RO.V.E. deployments. The combined deployments of A TV and Mounted Posse riders greatly enhance the program's efforts to both educate and enforce the OHV laws. ~ ,.,,-- Trespassing vs. Permission Riverside County Ordinance 10.12.010 states a person must have written permission from the property owner in their possession in order to ride their vehicles on the property they are on. The fine for the first offense is $100 with fmes up to $500. Simply put, unless you have express written permission from the property owner to ride your OHV on the property, you are TRESPASSING.
