PRESENTATIONS / CEREMONIALS
HOPE Quarterly Update
Helping Our People in Elsinore (HOPE) is a non profit organization that began by
3 local churches and provides food, approximately 25,000 meals per month and
clothing to the community for the past 16 years. HOPE provides assistance to
hundreds of individuals and families throughout the Lake Elsinore area; not just
those who are in long-term need, but also those individuals and families that are
experiencing a temporary challenge in obtaining the basics of life.
Mr. Ron Hewison informed the Council of HOPE's quarterly actions in helping the
residents of Lake Elsinore. In the past HOPE primarily helped 230 Senior
Citizens, but the need has more than doubled and Mr. Hewison provided
statistics regarding the growth. He stated the distribution numbers have
increased drastically; they are now distributing in one month what was distributed
in 2004 and 2005. He noted due to the high rise of unemployment. Families are
in great need.
Mr. Hewison noted these increases have caused recipients to line up hours
ahead of time in order to receive food, which is making HOPE a bad neighbor to
the surrounding business. To combat this problem HOPE has moved some of
their distribution areas and are now going out to various locations in the
community for distribution, where the needs are the greatest.
HOPE has made internal changes to help meet needs. They have a new
database which they use to track the recipients. They can now report 50 percent
are children and 20 percent are Senior Citizens. They have added administrative
positions at HOPE to help Mr. Hewison. The positions are:
• Executive Director (Senior Services)
• Director of Administration (Financial)
• Director of Pantry Services (Inventory& Purchases)
Mr. Hewison spoke about the USDA commodities, local restaurant and grocery
store donations stating they pick up from the various donators 6 days a week.
He noted due to their growth, they will need to find a new location to operate
from. Overall, he reported:

BUSINESS ITEM(S)
(8) Graffiti Action Plan Update
Recommendation:
Received and filed.
Mr. Dennis gave an overview of the current graffiti action being taken
stating the City currently is spending over $100,000. for abatement. He
then introduced GIS City Staff Mr. John Lavallee to the Council members.
John Lavallee informed the Council members of the following:
• In 2007 the Municipal Code adopted an ordinance for Graffiti
• In 2008 the Graffiti Task Force was created
• In 2008 the Graffiti Task Force developed an Action Plan
• In 2009 the Graffiti Task Force began Action Plan implementation
1. Methodology: The task force contacted various cities to see what
tools and successes they'd had in using and tracking graffiti. The
Task Force measured the tools cost verses time in selecting a
software program and debated if they should develop an in-house
custom program. The Task Force selected TAGERS which was
built by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) and
the Orange County Sheriffs.
2. Surveillance: The Q Star Program (digital system) is currently in
use. A camera sits on a 20 ft pole or building. As hot spots are
identified the camera can be relocated. A red light flashes on the
camera to let everyone know it is on. The cameras are effective
and a reduction of graffiti has occurred.
3. Analysis and Enforcement: Law enforcement is the key to the
success of this program. The information is entered into the Public
Works and Police Department Servers and the data base is shared.
4. Restitution: There have been arrests, money has been collected
and the word has spread don't graffiti in Lake Elsinore. As time
goes forward and more taggers are caught the program will
become more successful.
5. Outreach: The news is spreading within the community. There are
outreaches to business, schools, and newsletters all encourage
local involvement. If you see someone doing graffiti then call 911
as it is considered a crime in progress. The public is able to submit
Lake Elsinore City Council Meeting
Regular Meeting Minutes of October 27, 2009
Page 8 of 18
anonymous information to 1-800-78CRIME. The Sheriffs phone
number is 951-950-2544. www.wetip.com
Mr. Dennis stated although there is progress, the outreach program is
being handled last. He noted the end result is cost recovery may never
completely occur, but with restitution and conviction, those tagging are
getting the message. Other cities have inquired about our program so the
City is finding themselves sharing information.
Council members had the following questions:
Mayor Pro Tern Melendez asked how many members were on the Graffiti
Task Force and asked about the Business Outreach schedule.
Mr. Dennis responded stating there are 15 members from various
departments who meet every 3 to 4 weeks and noted each member has a
role. He stated there is not an actual schedule, noting this was not treated
as an action item. Mr. Dennis further commented they are using these
new tools and are learning how they best operate inside and out. He
noted many departments are working together, Public Works, Code
Enforcement, IT, GIS, and the Police Department. The team has been
successful. Mr. Dennis noted they were starting to focus on an outreach
schedule and were using new software, "Fast-Track Schedule" noting the
goal is to have this in place January 2010.
Mayor Pro Tern Melendez requested what it would take to get the
Business Outreach schedule together. She also asked which tools were
going to be studied and how, since Mr. McCarty who had previously
worked on this task to determine the effectiveness was no longer
available.
Mr. Dennis noted Mr. McCarty had prepared information for them to follow.
To date, the best alternative was to rotate the cameras around and not
have them locked into one place. The pattern is stealth based, move
cameras around and keep records.
Councilmember Bhutta requested who would be doing the research
analysis in the future.
Mr. Dennis noted staff would be doing the research analysis in the future
and stated part of the outreach program is to work with schools in
identifying "At Risk Youths" in an attempt to resolve a future problem.
Councilmember Bhutta asked how the schools identified "At Risk Youths"
commenting it was really unfair to think they were all taggers.

Mr. Dennis stated it was going to be a job for the crime analysis and the
School Resource Officers (SRO's) to determine who may possibly be
involved. He noted they were the ones on Facebook and Twitter and had
knowledge of the youths.
Councilmember Hickman requested the phone numbers be given again.
Discussion was held regarding the fact there was not a live person
answering the telephone number (an automated response on the phone
line) and questioned what the response time was. He expressed dismay
at possible police involvement stating graffiti was a low level crime not an
emergency situation.
Mayor Pro Tern Melendez responded she has used the phone line stating
it was effective. She noted she had also sent an email regarding graffiti
and has seen results from both in a reasonable amount of time.
Mr. Dennis assured everyone the calls are picked up whenever the phone
shows there is a message. He noted when a camera is removed the
graffiti begins again.
(9) Extension of Time for Tentative Tract Map No. 31593
APPROVED WITH AMENDMENTS
Recommendation:
Adopted Resolution No. 2009-54 approving the request for an Extension
of Time for Tentative Tract Map No. 31593 for 24 months or until
November 8, 2009 with Amendments to Conditions of Approval.
Acting Community Development Director Weiner gave an overview of the
project and the reason the extension is being requested. He noted the
property went through several owners although the engineering company
remained the same. Director Weiner stated the original map did not
include a park; it was going to share a park with a neighboring developer
which fell through. The developer was planning to include 5 pocket parks.
Director Weiner stated staff feels a Homeowners Association (HOA) with a
community room and pool, ball fields and a 5 acre park is needed. He
noted the Conditions of Approval brought forward tonight are from
annexing and Landscaping District and from the Community Development
Facilities.
Applicant Eric Lunde is requesting a time extension to the prior resolution
that had been approval in addition to changes on some of the pre-
approved agreements and the existing Conditions of Approval:
Lake Elsinore City Council Meeting
Regular Meeting Minutes of October 27, 2009
Page 10 of 18
No. 5 Request that 3.5 acres is changed for public enjoyment and
1.5 acres remains private for the Homeowners Association.
If Council requires a HOA, then the Applicant would like to give the
3.5 acres to serve the community at large and 1.5 acres just for the
local residents.
No. 6 Performance Bond commensurate with the Construction Cost.
No. 9 States Park must be completed by the first occupant residency,
change to 150 occupants
Applicant Eric Lunde discussed the changes he is requesting regarding
Item Nos. 5, 6, and 9. He would like to turn over the 3.5 acres to the City
for public use, just leaving 1.5 acres private for the HOA. Performance
Bond is commensurate with the Construction cost. He noted the cost of
due payable to Housing Associations is an expense people are not willing
to currently commit to. The applicant would like approval to build the park
after occupancy is 150 units due to the economic down turn.
Councilmember Buckley responded stating that he would vote to leave
No. 5 and No. 9 in tact and he did not have a problem with No. 6. He
made a Motion to support this, motion failed for lack of a Second.
Councilmember Hickman responded stating he felt the economic market
would determine if a Homeowners Association was required although he
felt a community needed a pool and amenities. He also questioned No. 6
asking the cost of $2 million to build a park. Councilmember Hickman
agreed a park would cost money upfront without having sold any units,
and stated 125 homes sold would be a better number. Councilmember
Hickman requested confirmation from City Attorney Leibold if the changes
could be made.
Acting Community Development Director Weiner stated the cost of the
park which was originally to be in place, and the $2 million was an
estimate; the final numbers would be available in the future.
City Attorney Leibold stated if Council was willing to approve an extension,
an end-date and / or occupancy certificate should be required.
Councilmember Bhutta requested the time-line for occupancy. Mr. Lunde
responded he needed to look at the map; he would not have the final
engineering information for another year and a half, and stated it would
probably be 3 years from now before people could move into the
Lake Elsinore City Council Meeting
Regular Meeting Minutes of October 27, 2009

development. Councilmember Bhutta stated she would have to support
the existing Item No. 5.
Mayor Magee commented this map expired almost 2 years ago, and the
Council is now being asked to preserve it to save the previous studies
because of the cost to do new ones. The Mayor commented it is great to
give the park to the City however; it will cost the City to maintain the Park
instead of the Homeowners Association having to pay the cost for the next
20 years. Director Kilroy was asked for an estimate of what the
maintenance cost would be to the City. The cost was estimated to be
$15,000 per year. The Mayor then commented that No. 9 was the trigger
point. He said that he would vote to leave No. 5 as is, No. 6, leave as is
the price is what it will be. Regarding No. 9, Mayor Magee noted he was
willing to change the number of occupancy to have the park ready for use
after 100 units had been sold and the HOA amenities ready for use after
150 residents.
MOTION was made by Mayor Magee, second by Councilmember Buckley
and unanimously carried to approve leaving the Conditions of Approval for
Item Nos. 5 and 6 as they were, and amend the recommendation and revise
Item No. 9 to have a park ready for use when 100 units are sold and the
HOA and amenities available for use when 150 occupant had moved in.
Mayor Pro Tern Melendez commented on the three items. She stated she
agrees with the original conditions regarding Item No. 5 and 6. She noted
Lake Elsinore is hot and many residents expect pools and parks.
Regarding Item No. 9, she would agree to the trigger point of 101.
Mayor Magee noted the reason the City Council had chosen to keep this
project alive was because the houses were to be larger; this was to be an
upscale development comparable with the neighboring communities, such
as Tuscany Hills.
AYES:
Bhutta, Buckley, Hickman, Magee, Melendez.
NOES:
None.
ABSENT:
None.

Registrar of Voters to render Election Services
Lake Elsinore City Council Meeting
Regular Meeting Minutes of October 27, 2009
Page 12 of 18
APPROVED WITH AMENDMENT
Councilmember Buckley made a statement before this item was brought
forward; stating the Riverside County Registrar of Voters (ROV) has failed
to do their job, failed to do the electorate process and has allowed this
fraudulent election to proceed. He further stated although he was legally
allowed to be present for the discussion, he was choosing not to be and
left the Council Chambers.
Prior to the discussion, City Clerk Thomsen address the Council to
verbally explain the requirements of the Election Code and the possibility
of consolidating an election with Riverside County.
City Clerk Thomsen gave an overview of the Recall process to date,
stating the Recall proponents started collecting signatures May 5, 2009
and submitted the completed petition to the Clerk's office August 22. She
provided a recommendation of potential Special Election dates, and the
recommendation of financial availability for funding the said election. The
potential dates to decide between are January 26, February 2, 9, and 23,
2010. Sample schedules of events detailing the various deadlines
associated with the election were provided to the Council. It was stated
the two potential dates for consolidation were January 26 or February 23,
2010. Items discussed in detail included Potential Consolidation with a
State Senate election; establishing Resolutions in accordance with
Election Codes 13307, 15651,10002 were discussed. It was noted the
fiscal impact to the City for the election was estimated at $30,000 to
$50,000 if not consolidated. It was noted the Riverside County Registrar
of Voters recommended the date of February 23, 2010 be chosen.
Mr. Tom Willis addressed the Council in support of Councilmember
Buckley requesting they not allow the Recall to move forward. He noted
many of Councilmember Buckley's accomplishments and commented on
the growth Lake Elsinore has seen under Councilmember Buckley's
service and leadership. He questioned how the Council could move
forward without knowing if the allegations are true. Mr. Willis noted the
Council was risking the integrity of a proven councilmember and they
should consider their own reputation. He commented having an election
reflected on the reputation of Lake Elsinore and recommended the Council
postpone the election because the accusation had not been proven. He
again stated the City does not have the funds for an election and the City
will be viewed with a negative reputation.

Regular Meeting Minutes of October 27, 2009
Page 13 of 18
Mayor Magee noted in the Study Session, Ms. Rebar has read a
statement into the record, and requested City Attorney Leibold to respond
to Mr. Wi//is'comments.
City Attorney Leibold noted the City has a legal obligation to hold an
election; the California Election Code states once the Registrar verifies the
signatures there are 14 days in which the Council is mandated to set an
election date or they will be out of compliance with the Election Code.
She noted because an election date must be set, the City is not judging,
supporting or not-supporting Councilmember Buckley, it is a neutral act
the City must do.
There being no other public speakers, discussion was brought to the Dias
Councilmember Hickman responded noting he did not care for the
situation the City is in and stated that he would go with the Registrar of
Voters' recommended date of February 23, 2010 and made the Motion.
Recommendation:
1) Choose one of the proposed dates and adopt a Resolution to Order
a date for a Recall Special Municipal Election

MOTION was made by Councilmember Hickman second by Councilmember
Bhutta and unanimously carried to set the Recall Special Municipal
Election date as February 23, 2010 as recommended by the Registrar of
Voters.
Mayor Pro Tern Melendez responded stating she does not choose to have
a special election, nor does she want to spend the money. She stated the
Governor could possibly appoint someone, however we should not count
on consolidation with the County, therefore, the sooner an election was
held, the better; Mayor Pro Tern Melendez stated she preferred the date in
January 26th, 2010. She noted the voters would decide what they wanted.
Mayor Magee stated he believes in government and the process
commenting an election would occur whether the City Council or the
Registrar of Voters set the date. He further stated this is not a choice, he
must support the law. Mayor Magee then commented he did not want to
Lake Elsinore City Council Meeting
Regular Meeting Minutes of October 27, 2009
Page 14 of 18
pull additional funds to cover the expense of an election, but felt there was
enough money in the previously pulled rainy day funds.

Councilmember Hickman thanked Lambs Fellowship Church for their
commitment and involvement to improve the community. He reminded everyone
of the upcoming Grand Prix to be held on November 7 h and 8th. He also stated

joining together. In addition, Lucas Oil and Red Bull did 2 back flips and cleared
300 ft. This will be on television in January for everyone to see. He then asked
everyone to pray for rain for Lake Elsinore.
Mayor Pro Tern Melendez requested City Manager Brady to review the Warrant
Report regarding the dry cleaning bill. She requested research be done to
determine if there was any written Agreement stating these costs would be
covered, and requested a written Memorandum to the Council before the
mid-year budget review. She also reminded everyone there is still a child
predator on the streets somewhere; she has posted information regarding this on
her blog along with a composite sketch. She stated he was last seen in the
Tuscany Hills area and to remind their kids to be safe. She then commented all
kids including hers think they are tough. She noted he has been targeting girls
but he could also target males.
Councilmember Bhutta noted Safe Candy night was a success and congratulated
City staff, especially the Parks and Recreation Department for their involvement
and success.
Mayor Magee thanked the audience for their decorum during the difficult issues.
