A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING SENATE BILL
719 (ALQUIST) PERTAINING TO RAIL SAFETY.
WHEREAS, the nation's railroads are engaged in an all-out public
relation campaign to convince the American people that cabooses are obsolete
with such claims that devices developed to augment crews' observations and
attendance can be used as a replacement, regardless of train length, and
WHEREAS, the devices are unreliable, none as yet alerts a crew when a
train's own weight has caused damage to tracks and roadbeds, and in absence of
a caboose crew to inspect the train, failure of these devices to detect
hazardous conditions has led to numerous documented instances of
life -threatening situations, and
WHEREAS, over 100,000 rail cars loaded with hazardous materials are
hauled on California's railroads each year in trains as much as two miles in
length, and
WHEREAS, California's share of rail cars ladened with hazardous
materials has doubled in the past five years, while accidents and spills
involving these cars have quadrupled, and
WHEREAS, such incidents endanger the general public who live or travel
in proximity to railroads, adjacent private property and public facilities,
sensitive habitat areas, as well as railroad employees, and
WHEREAS, this City Council desires to reduce hazards associated with
derailments, toxic leaks and spills, right-of-way fires, and grade crossing
accidents,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Grand Terrace does hereby support Senate Bill 719 (Alquist), which would
require cabooses on all trains carrying hazardous materials and on any train
exceeding 1500 feet in length
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a certified copy of this Resolution be
sent to Senator Alfred E. Alquist.

Re:
SUPPORT FOR
SB 719
(Alquist), Pertaining to Rail Safety
Rail safety, particularly where shipment of hazardous materials is
involved, is a real concern to local officials throughout the state
because, unsafe railroad operations are a threat to public safety,
as well as a drain upon the resources of police, fire, and sheriff
departments which are required to respond to railroad emergencies
within their jurisdictions.
We have learned through experience that the timely detection of un-
safe conditions can avert a disastrous situation or greatly reduce
the damage where prevention is not possible. We have also learned
that crew members stationed in a caboose at the rear of a train can
observe both the train and tracks from specially designed windows,
and can initiate emergency responses to conditions which cannot be
detected by crew members in the locomotive as much as two miles away
at the front of the train.
Because of the importance of occupied cabooses in safe railroad
operations, Senator Alfred Alquist has introduced legislation re-
quiring them on all trains carrying hazardous materials, as well as
on any train exceeding 1500 feet in length The legislation is
intended to remedy hazards associated witn derailments, toxic leaks
and spills, right-of-way fires, and grade crossing accidents.
SB 719 is supported by city councils and county boar's of supervisors,
as well as emergency response departments and enviro=,enzal groups
throughout the state. Why? The answer is simple. Despite the claims
of the railroads which are making an all-cuz� effort zo kill the bill
on the grounds that the use of cabooses is best left to "collective
bargaining", the use of cabooses is a matter of PUBLIC SAFETY, and in
no way affects the crew size
in a letter to city
state, the railroads
caboose legislation,
councils and boards or supervisors throughout the
have claimed that no other states have enacted
which is simply not the case.

By Tom Ineck
A Nebraska law that requires manned,
radio -equipped cabooses on all freight
trains of 1000 feet or longer is justifiable
to protect the public interest, Chief U S
Distract Judge Warren Urbom has ruled.
The 55-page decision issued Friday is
Urbom's response to a lawsuit filed last
year by Burlington Northern The rail
road contended that the statute, LB179,
which became effective in August 19A
Is pre-empted by federal regulation, ex-
ceeds the police power of the state, dis-
criminates against interstate com-
merce, unreasonably burdens interstate -
ruling by federal judge
commerce and Interferes with the rail
road s right to contract with its employ-
ees.
In answering each of BN's charges,
Urbom cited numerous federal court
decisions and safety acts that support
the Legislature's authority to regulate
intrastate transportation for the public
safety
1970 taw cited
Under a provision of the Railroad
Safety Act of 1M a state "may adopt or
continue in force any law, Wile, regula
tion, order or standard relating to rail-
road safety until such time as the Secre-
L 1 IJ"L#J So LOZ N A L�
MAI 11) 1985
tary (of 'transportation) has adopted a
rule regulation, order or standard
covering the subject matter of such
state requirement,' Urbom wrote
The purpose of the Nebraska caboose
law is to remedy hazards associated
with train derailments, right of %a)
fires, and highway rail crossing acci-
dents," Urbom wrote "There is ample
evidence in the record to find that each
of these three threats to public safety
occurs to Nebraska with some degree of
regulant) "
BN had contended that electronic
monitoring systems could detect failed
equipment, fires and other safety
threats without a manned caboose
Urbom acknowledged that "there is
much less need now for a manned ca-
boose' because failed -equipment deter
tors have been developed, but he con-
cluded there is ample evidence that a
crew member at the end of a train may
see a safety threat that the electronic
detectors cannot see
"The state has shown that detectors
are fallible, that in the past they have
failed to detect problems that the ca-
boose crew was able to discover before
they could lead to derailments, and that
the retention of manned cabooses plays
a real role in the detection of equipment
defects before they can cause derail-
ments," Urbom wrote
Attorney Craig WiUstnick, who repre-
sented the state, said Monday of Ur-
bom's decision "The system worke(L"
The core of the decision, he said, is that
"the Legislature did not have to play
Russian roulette' with whether new
technology could provide a safe rail sys-
tem
The safety of the citizens of Ne-
braska may best be served as a b)
product of negotiations between the rail-
road and its employees, but that is not
guaranteed," Wittstruck said. In October
198Z rail companies and the United
Transportation Union agreed that 29
percent of cabooses on mainline freight
trains could be eliminated
Wittstnick said Urbom's detailed rul-
ing may affect similar litigation in other
states. "I was surprised it was that
long," he said, "but I think that under
scores the importance of this case "

INFORMATIC
FURNISHED TO
At the August 13, 1985 meeting, the La Mesa City Council unanimously
approved the attached resolution asking the League of California Cities
to initiate a statewide ballot initiative for relief of the joint -several
liability rule
We, like you, are deeply concerned about the financial strain being
placed on local government as a result of the "deep pockets" judgments
being rendered in California. The present system of total liability for
all defendants in civil tort judgments, regardless of responsibility, has
resulted in public agencies becoming a target for inclusion in civil
suits due to their ability to pay out of public funds
We believe statewide support is both critical and essential in order to
convince the legislature that joint liability relief is a necessity.
Therefore, on behalf of the La Mesa City Council, I urge you to adopt a
resolution supporting a statewide ballot initiative for relief of
joint -several liability and forward the resolution to the League
immediately
Thank you for your assistance and support.

FACT SHEET ON ACA 32
Assembly Constitutional Amendment 32 bans public employee strikes
and is designed to reverse the misguided California Supreme Court
decision in County Sanitation District No. 2 of Los Angeles Count
V. Los Angeles County Employees Association, Local 660 (38 Cal. 3
564, 1985).
Highlights of the amendment include:
*** "Public employees shall not strike."
*** A strike is defined as a work stoppage, slowdown, sick -in, or
any other concerted refusal to work.
*** Public employees include any state worker, any person working
for a county, city, district, school district, authority, board,
agency, commission, bureau, or any public agency of the state
or of the University of California.
*** An employee absent without leave for five consecutive days, or
any 10 days during a calendar month, would be listed as an
automatic resignation effective on the last day that employee
reported to work. This applies whether the absence is voluntary
or involuntary. The public agency may, if it chooses to, reinstate
a public employee only after the employer provides a valid
excuse for the absence. This section protects against wildcat
strikes.
*** A general amnesty for striking workers is prohibited.
*** Any labor union that sanctions or promotes a public employee
strike cannot represent those public employees for the following
five years.
*** And finally ACA 32 provides that any public agency, or any
citizen harmed by an illegal strike, may seek damages from those
striking employees as well as from the union.
ACA 32 will most likely be heard sometime in August by the Assembly
Public Employees and Retirement. Committee members are as follows:
Dave Elder (D-Long Beach), Chairman
Marian La Follette (R-Northridge), Vice Chairwoman
Bill Bradley (R-Escondido)

STATEMENT BY TOM MCCLINTOCK
on
Prohibiting Public Employee Strikes
Last week, the California Supreme Court extended to public
employees the right to strike against the people of California.
Indeed, the court hinted --- and Rose Bird flatly stated --- that
hitherto illegal public employee strikes are now a constitutional
right.
The Assembly Republicans shall not permit this decision to
stand and, therefore, I am submitting an Assembly Constitutional
Amendment that would prohibit strikes by public employees. Great
harm will come to the citizens of California if we fail to act.
Justice Lucas, in dissent, was absolutely right: "Public
strikes may devastate a city within a matter of days, or even
1�
0
hours." The Court has placed a loaded and cocked gun in the hand
of every public employees union in the state and aimed it at the
people of California. It is only a matter of time until that
trigger is pulled.
It should be clearly understood that a public employees
strike is a far cry from a strike against a private employer.
Strikes in the private sector are economic tools to bring
financial pressure against the employer. A strike in the public
sector has no financial effect on the public employer.
A public sector strike is aimed directly at the public. Its
effectiveness depends solely on inflicting sufficient pain,
discomfort, inconvenience, or danger upon the general public to
force them to exert political pressure on the government to
settle with the strikers.
Let that be realized: the people of California are the sole
targets --- and the court just declared open season on them.
And the cruel irony is that those who most depend on
government will be the ones who are hurt the most.
A sanitation strike could shut down the water and sewer
system of an entire city. Indeed, this was exactly the case
decided by the court, and it was only by the extraordi4ary
exertions of the municipality that public disaster was averted.
If EDD were to close its doors, support for hundreds of thousands
of indigents would suddenly stop. A police strike would be
devastating to a city in a matter of hours.
( 2
,f
The Court assures us that it will review these events on a
"case by case" basis. Unfortunately, it does not advise us how
to cope with the public suffering and individual personal harm
that will be done to our constituents while the court is
conducting its "case by case" review.
To say that public employee unions have no recourse but to
strike if negotiations fail is utter nonsense. The public
employee has recourse to the ballot box to chose his employer.
i
No private"employee has the power to influence the selection of
his employer. Nor does any private employee have civil service
protection or Sob tenure.
In fact, public employee unions have exerted their influence
at every opportunity. In the last general election, public
employee unions in this state contributed $1-1/2 million to state
Cand local campaigns --- including $183,000 from CSEA alone. Two
of the top ten non -partisan donors in that election were public
employee unions. Public employee unions employ 35 full-time
lobbyists in Sacramento alone to influence legislation affecting
all aspects of employment rights and working conditions.
To these weapons, the Supreme Court would extend a further
power --- a power that no private union or any other segment of
our society has ever been allowed --- the power to bring civil
0
M
government to a standstill until their demands are met.
3
This foolishness must stop before somebody gets hurt. Who
knows how many months --- or even weeks --- until the first
government has been struck.
My Assembly Constitutional Amendment declares public
employees cannot strike. It defines a strike to include any work
stoppage, slowdown, sick -in or other concerted refusal to perform
assigned tasks.
It specifically rejects the rationale used by the Chief
Justice when she argues that the right to strike is a
constitutionally protected liberty for public employees, and it
rejects the notion that "the common law prohibition against all
public employee strikes is no longer supportable."
The amendment says any public employee off for five
. consecutive days or ten days ion any month without excuse will be
considered to have resigned.
Any employee subjected to such discipline can, within 15
days, request reinstatement. That reinstatement would occur
without salary unless the situation is unique and covered under
separate code sections.

Because the Architect did not provide for enough microphones at the Council Chamber
Staff table, it has been necessary to pass one microphone around. If individuals do
not speak directly into a microphone, the conversation cannot be recorded or head on

firm, which reflects credit for a lavalier microphone never used since it is not
compatible with the rest of the microphones (it was supplied in accordance with the
original specifications).
Staff Recommends Council -
Approve appropriating $1,776.00 from the General Fund Balance to cover installation

MEETING DATE Sept. 12, 1985
On November 15, 1979 a motion to donate $1,000 to the Accent on
Youth was approved. The funds were to be coordinated by the
Volunteer Services Committee and were to be used for City
Christmas decorations and youth activities.
Councilman Petta and Mayor Grant both donated $150 of their own
funds and challenged others to contribute.
There seems to have been much time spent researching this
situation and there were Staff Reports on February 24, 1983,
April 14, 1983 and April 28, 1983 (attached). The account was
discussed at the April 28, 1983 meeting. At that same meeting
the Council by motion took no official action regarding the
Accent on Youth Fund and encouraged the existing Board to
consider establishing a non-profit corporation.
I spoke to Bob Yeates and he indicated that no disbursements have
been made out of the funds for the last three years other than
the $500 in question to the Friends of the Library. Mr. Yeates
indicates that approximately $500 remain in the account.
As for the Friends of the Library, they are free to spend the
funds advanced to them from this account, and whether the funds
were private or public the purpose for which the Friends of the
Library are going to use these funds is an allowable General Fund
expenditure.
The Council advanced the funds with no stipulated uses or
accountability guidelines other than Christmas decorations and
youth activities The suggested use seems to have been followed
and no action on the part of the Council is needed.

SUBJECT: SAVINGS ACCOUNT "ACCENT ON YOUTH"
On January 18, 1983 the Finance Department received a Savings Account Statement from
Security Pacific National Bank for "Accent on Youth", account number 125564.
According to the bank this account was opened on January 30, 1981, with Emily
O'Neal, Robert Yeates, & Ken Rinderhagen as authorized signatures. Volunteer
Services Committee meeting of January 20, 1981 authorized this account to be
set up from donations to establish a youth program for the City of Grand Terrace.
There has not been any activity in this account in the last year and the balance
is $942.73.
Peggy Trottier, (Account Clerk in Finance Dept ) talked with Robert Yeates, on
Thursday January 27, 1983 He stated,
1. Emily O'Neal has passed away
2. Different groups or projects that want Accent on Youth's support,
submit a request to them, after they research them they forward the
request to Council for Final approval. Last year they had two requests
which Council denied They have not had any requests so far this year.
Alicia Chavez, (Clerk Typist in City Clerk's Office) researched the Council Minutes
for the last two years & could not find any requests put before Council by
Accent on Youth.

SUBJECT: "ACCENT ON YOUTH"
I have researched all the minutes relating to the "Accent on Youth"
Program, and have found that the program was established on
November 15, 1979 by the City Council, to be coordinated by
the Volunteer Services Committee, with Bob Yeates as Chairman.
Council authorized the donation of $1,000 to the fund, to be
used for City Christmas decorations and youth activities. At
that time, Mayor Petta and Councilman Grant each donated $150.00
to the fund, and Mayor Petta challenged businesses, civic
organizations and families to make donations.
The Finance Department researched the expenditures of the
$1,000 and found that the Monthly Budget Report for June, 1980
reflected that all but $17.00 of the $1,000 allocated by
Council had been expended.
No other action by Council was reflected after that date,
except action taken on November 19, 1981 when Council made a
Motion to consolidate the Volunteer Services Committee with
the Parks & Recreation Committee.
At the Council Meeting of July 17, 1980 Bob Yeates had asked
for the City Attorney's opinion relative to the handling of
the "Accent on Youth" funds in order to conform with the
Conflict of Interest Code and to also keep the purpose of the
expended funds from becoming public record. He was advised
that recommendations for expenditures should be presented to
Staff and that Staff should have the authority to approve
those recommendations for expenditures without taking it to
Council

Program in either the City Council Minutes or the Volunteer
Services Committee Minutes have been listed on the attached

SUBJECT: ACCENT ON YOUTH FUND
The City Council on March 24, 1983, requested that the Parks and Recreation
Committee prepare a written report to outline its position concerning the
"Accent On Youth" fund Recommendations and rationale for the program
were to also be made to the Council by Parks & Recreation Committee
members Also to be addressed was the formation of the fund and whether
the "Accent On Youth" was formed as a City Committee or not Staff is
preparing this analysis so Council will be aware of staff's position,
as well as the results of the examination of the financial records of
Volunteer Services fund from Fiscal Year 79-80
The April 18, 1983 Special Report issued by the Parks & Recreation Comm-
ittee recommends that the "Accent On Youth" fund
1) Be considered private orseperate fund, consisting
of private monies,
2) Fund was administered by volunteers,
3) Volunteers administered private money, not City
funds,
4) Be allowed to remain a sperate fund, not to be
administered by the City, and that recommendations
for grants by made directly to the individuals
administering said fund
In reviewing the financial records pertaining to the funds allocated to the
Volunteer Services Committee, in Fiscal Year 79-80, which amounted to $1,000 00,
staff has determined that a total of $839 00 was expended by the Volunteer
Services Committee on City activities and/or projects, leaving a balance of
$161 00 that was carried forward to the next Fiscal Year Hence, at no time
were City funds ever used for the "Accent On Youth" fund Based on the afore-
mentioned, staff takes the position of concurring with the Parks and Recreation
Committee
STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE COUNCIL
SINCE NO CITY FUNDS ARE INVOLVED, TAKE NO OFFICIAL ACTION REGARDING THE
"ACCENT ON YOUTH" FUND BUT, ENCOURAGE THE EXISTING BOARD OF DIRECTORS
TO CONSIDER ESTABLISHING A CORPORATION AND SEEK NON-PROFIT STATUS

The Finance/Administrative Services Officer advised that San
Bernardino County has requested that the City indicate whether or
not it desires to participate in a $48.8 million single family
mortgage revenue bond issue program. Recommended adopting the
Resolution authorizing participation in the program.
In discussion, it was clarified that loans for existing homes and
new homes would be available under this program, that previously the
City had not participated in this program, since at the time it
affected the City's SB 99 program, which would no longer have an
effect, and that presently there would be no disadvantage to
participating in the program.
CC-83-45 Motion by Councilman Rigley, Second by Councilman Petta, ALL AYES,
to adopt Resolution No. 83-05.
ACCENT ON YOUTH
The Finance/Administrative Services Officer advised that an "Accent
on Youth" savings account was established at Security Pacific
National Bank on January 30, 1981, with Emily O'Neal, Bob Yeates,
and Ken Rinderhagen, as members of the Volunteer Services Committee,
administering the account; stated the funds consisted of donations
to establish a youth program for the City of Grand Terrace. Stated
notification was received from the bank that there has been no
activity on this account in the past year, which has a balance of
$942.73. Requested guidance from Council regarding this account.
Ken Rinderhagen, 12738 Wilmac, stated that some of the funds have
been used to send Boy Scouts to summer camps; stated they have an
application at this time for a Boy Scout to go to summer camp.
Council questioned if Rex Blackwell had received any of the funds
from this account, as approved, indication was received that he
apparently received no funds. Suggestions were offered to use the
funds for ballfield lighting or the swimming pool.
Councilwoman Pfennighausen stated that when the Volunteer Services
Committee was in existence, it included representatives from all the
youth organizations within the City, so all organizations were aware
of the funds being available. Procedures were established to
process applications for fund requests, recommended newspaper
coverage on this to make the public aware of the account; feels
other organizations, other than the Boy Scouts, should be aware of
the availability of the funds.
In discussion, Council indicated that since this account was
originally established and sanctioned by Council, under committee
sponsorship, that the responsibility for the account should be
assigned to the Parks b Recreation Committee, since that Committee
Page 11
2/24/83
absorbed the Volunteer Services Committee. Felt the Parks &
Recreation Committee should study the matter and determine whether
or not the account should be continued.
CC-83-46 Motion by Councilman Petta, Second by Councilwoman Pfennighausen,
that the °Accent on Youth" savings account be controlled by the
Parks & Recreation Committee.
Following clarification that the intent of the Motion is that the
Parks & Recreation Committee is to make a recommendation to Council
regarding whether or not this account should be continued, Motion
No. CC-83-46 carried, ALL AYES.
Recess was called at 10 30 p.m. and reconvened at 10:40 p.m. with
a members present.
SPEED ZONING - PALM AVENUE & DEBERRY STREET
The City Engineer advised that Council had authorized speed zoning
studies by the County on Palm Avenue between Barton Road and DeBerry
Street, from Michigan Street to the east end. As a result of those
studies, the County recommended the following speed zones: (1) Palm
Avenue from Barton Road to east end, 40 mph, (2) DeBerry Street from
Michigan to Mt. Vernon, 40 mph; and (3) DeBerry from Mt. Vernon to
the east end, 35 mph. Recommended that the areas be posted pursuant
to the recommendations.
Council disagreed with the recommended speed limits, feeling they
are excessive, since the areas are residential and include a
school.
The City Engineer stated he recommended that the County take into
consideration the facts that the areas consist of residences and a
school, stated normal engineering studies were conducted, which
involved setting up radar on several occasions to determine the
speed of the 85th percentile of the cars traveling those streets;
the report concludes that if 85 percent of the cars were traveling
at a specific speed, that is considered to be a safe speed. This
study is necessary to enable law enforcement to enforce the speed
limits; lesser speed limits can be posted than those refelcted in
the study, but law enforcement cannot enforce.
Dick Rollins, 22700 DeBerry, stated speeding on DeBerry has been a
problem for some time, the Sheriff's Department has been requested
to patrol that street during the early morning hours, but apparently
a shift change occurs at that time, Deputy Martinez has indicated
that until the study was completed and the speeds established, radar
cannot be used, recommended not posting the recommended speed
limits.

the Zoning Ordinance, Architectural Review, is implemented. Mr.
Hopkins read portions of Chapter 16 and noted that the Planning
Commission had complied with its provisions in the area of size or
bulk of the proposed buildings in relation to the existing adjacent
buildings. Mr Hopkins stated there have been enforced within some
public agencies through zoning ordinances limitations on size,
though they never have been thoroughly litigated. Stated Council
has only the two options outlined in the Staff Report. That if
Council substantially changes anything other than the yes or no, the
matter must go back to the Planning Commission for their review or
approval pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance
In discussion, those Council Members who viewed the Models concurred
that the Plan No 1 models appeared large, that it was difficult to
distinguish one plan from from another Council concurred on its
feeling that those homes would be compatibile to the area, noting
there were to be only seven Plan No 1 models intermingled with the
remainder. Council expressed its concern for the number of Plan
No 1 homes that would be built in the following phases of the
development
CC-82-80 Motion by Councilman Nix, Second by Mayor Grant, to approve the
appeal of SA 82-2, Plan No 1, to include making findings shown on
Page 2 of the Staff Report dated January 28, 1982, subject to
conditions approved by the Planning Commission, with a specification
that the percentage of Plan No 1 homes in the following phases will
not exceed 30% of the total number Following discussion noting the
only issue seemed to be concern that these homes may devaluate the
property in that area and that Councilman Nix, the maker of the
Motion, lives in the vicinity and the same type of home as the
individuals opposing the appeal, and further noting the developer is
doing the landscaping, which should allow the homes to blend, the
Motion carried, ALL AYES
Recess was called at 9 21 p m , and the meeting reconvened at 9 32
p m , with all members present.
FUND RAISING - REX BLACKWELL
Mr Bob Williams, Colton High School Assistant Baseball Coach,
introduced Rex Blackwell, a student of Colton High School, and
stated he is one of the players chosen from Riverside and San
Bernardino Counties to travel to Europe in behalf of promoting
baseball, and they will be playing against European teams. Mr
Williams requested Council's support in behalf of Rex to raise money
for this trip.
Following discussion and clarification from City Attorney Hopkins as
to what extent the City could support Rex, Council directed that
Randy Anstine, Community Services Director, be authorized to work in
behalf of Rex Blackwell's fund raising activities, to include
requesting Accent On Youth funds not to exceed $400.

Because of conflicting October conferences and November and December holidays,
Staff recommends the following rescheduling of Council meetings for those months
OCTOBER - The main conflict in October is the League of California Cities Team
Workshop to be held October 23, 24, 25 in Arrowhead, which all members plan to
attend. Since there are five Thursdays in October, Staff recommends rescheduling
the October meetings for October 17 and 31, which would also allow those attending
the League Conference in San Francisco time to review their Council Agenda Packets.
NOVEMBER/DECEMBER - The fourth Thursday in November falls on Thanksgiving. The
Resolution establishing Council meetinq dates provides that, when a meeting falls on
a holiday, it shall be held the following Thursday - in this case would be December
5 Staff therefore recommends cancelling the December 12 and 26 meetings and
holding the second meeting on December 19, since many people have plans over the
Christmas holidays.
The attached calendar outlines the proposed changes. Consideration was given to
avoiding meetings one week apart, since that does not allow enough time to prepare
necessary Staff Reports. We are requesting Council's decision relative to at least
the October meetings at this times to meet deadlines for the Chamber Newsletter.

P.C. Minutes
13050/Specific Plan 85-10, construction of 176 detached
single family units on 44.3 gross acres, located at the
eastern terminus of Van Buren Street adjacent to Blue
Mountain. This item was continued from the July 15, 1985
Planning Commission meeting.
Mr. Kicak, Planning Director, presented the Staff Report to
the Planning Commission.
After much discussion among the Planning Commissioners, the
applicant was given an opportunity to speak in behalf of
his project.
The applicant Mr. Bill Storm, T.J. Austyn, Inc., 800 N.
Newport Blvd., Newport Beach, CA., agreed with all the
conditions of approval, with the exception of three items.
The first item was on wording, which has since been corrected.
The second item was Observation Drive, which Mr. Storm has
committed to full width from where it ends at the Griffin
Tract to Van Buren Street. The applicant will be improving
that 1/2 portion that was not a requirement but will solve
drainage problems and improve traffic circulation. The third
item was the waiver of the 6 ft. perimeter wall. The
applicant indicated that this requirement would be very
expensive and provide little benefits to the property.
After much discussion, Chairman Caouette opened the public
hearing. Anyone in favor of this project was asked to come
forward.
Mr. Barney Karger, 11668 Bernardo Way, spoke in favor of this
project.

FUNDING REQUIRED X
NO FUNDING REQUIRED
Council has given staff direction to evaluate the costs of
providing planning services and whether it be done by contract or
by an in-house Planning Department. Before a proper analysis
could be made, the costs to provide the service by contract
needed to be determined. To do this the staff developed a
Request For Proposal asking for a minimum of twenty hours per
week services of a professional level planner to be located
within the City. The proposal also requires a full-time person --
either a Planning Secretary or a Planning Aide -- to be
available to answer questions at the counter and make
appointments for the Planner.
Over twenty proposals were sent out and we received six proposals
that ranged in cost from $83,500 to $122,000. The proposals
are available to be reviewed and are located in the office
adjacent to the City Manager's office. Following are the
recapped proposals
D. G. KING ASSOCIATES
9375 Archibald Ave , Suite 200

cannot be taken care of by the full-time Project Planner, and
will be billed at $65.00 per hour for a Principal Planner and
$45.00 per hour for a Project Planner. Minutes for the Planning
Commission will be transcribed for $25.00 per hour.

GARY MITCHELL & ASSOCIATES
133 Spring Street
Claremont, CA 91711
This proposal does not allocate costs on a per hour basis and

out on the previously listed proposals. This proposal calls for
attendance at all Council and Planning Commission meetings, 12
office hours per week of the Principal Planner, 10 hours per
week of a Project Planner, 15 hours per hour for clerical
support.
This proposal represents the lowest cost, but does not provide
