PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Ed O'Neal Mr. O'Neal circulated a Memo from the group known as Concerned 22608 Minona Dr. Citizens of Grand Terrace, requesting Council to take the necessary action to continue the contract for a Community Services Officer with the Sheriff's Department. Mr. O'Neal reviewed the backoround of this contract and outlined reasons for continuing the contract. ORAL REPORTS Thomas Schwab, Mayor Matteson indicated the Acting City Manager had something Acting City to discuss. The Acting City Manager advised that a budget call Manager for the 1987/88 Fiscal year has been sent out to committees. This year Council is being given an opportunity to have input into the budget procedure before the budget is developed. He asked Council to establish a date for a preliminary budget planning session. He indicated that Staff will be receiving taw budget forms April 1 and the sooner we can get Council's input the better. Council aareed to a workshop session to be scheduled April 16, 1987 at 5:30 p.m. in the Conference Room adjacent to the City Manager's Office. Dick Rollins Mr. Rollins spoke to Council with regards to the Parks & 22700 DeBerry St. Recreation snack bar on school property. He indicated that, at this time, he could not make a statement for the Parks and Recreation Committee, its membership, the Grand Terrace Lion's Club, or the City of Grand Terrace with regards to completion of the snack bar. This project seems to have come to a complete standstill with nothing having been done since the last Council meeting. This matter will have to be considered seriously at the next Parks and Recreation Committee meeting. The Committee will have to..consider securing the building with doors, lock it up, complete the roof, take the fence down, clean up the area and leave it up to the individual organizations to complete the snack bar. At this point, nobody seem to be very interested in its completion. The school district's view is that, if the snack bar is not completed, they want it torn down. Council Minutes - 3/26/87 Page 2 Councilman Evans indicated that, at the last Parks and Recreation Committee meeting, there was a discussion about contracting to complete the snack bar. He asked if the possibility of completing this project by contract has been looked into. Mr. Anstine indicated he received a bid from a contractor who is willing to complete the project. His estimate to complete the project was between $21,000 and $25,000. Mr. Anstine indicated he has also been in contact with other contractors who have expressed an interest in the project. However, they are apprehensive about taking over the project as they were not involved initially. Councilman Evans indicated it is apparent that we are having problems with the completion of this project. He indicated that, in his opinion, time is of the essence and suggested that, with Council concurrence, Staff be directed to go out to bid for the completion of this project following all the necessary guidelines. Mr. Rollins indicated another point that was brought to his attention deals with the sewer line, the sewer hookup and sewer connection. The cost of this service will have to be bourn by the citizens, as the school district does not wish to assume these costs. He questioned who would pay for the water and electricity used. These are things that the Committee did not look seriously at when they embarked on this project. Mr. Rollins advised that Mr. Karger had indicated the Committee could save enough on donated material and supplies to complete the project within the $15,000 figure. He indicated he did not know how much the City still had left to pay for this project or how much the Lions Club is still willing to donate. There are still a lot of unanswered questions to be dealt with. The school district is becoming irritated about having the unfinished building on their property. Councilman Evans indicated that Council did understand and appreciate Mr. Rollin's comments. However, Council must now proceed in getting this matter completed as quickly as possible. CC-87-45 Motion by Councilman Evans, second by Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen, that Council direct Staff to go out to bid for the completion of the snack bar and to bring a comprehensive report back to Council for further consideration. Mayor Matteson asked Mr. Rollins if he had contacted any other organization that may be interested in completing the snack bar, such as the Lions' Club or the Chamber of Commerce. Council Minutes - 3/26/87 Page 3 Mr. Rollins indicated that the Lions' Club is the only viable organization that generally does what they say they are going to do. Mr. Rollins indicated that, in as much as the Lions Club have offered funds for this project, he has not gone back to them and asked them to provide labor for the project.He indicated that when he can't get the youth organizations, especially the Little League Organization, out to do something on this project, he becomes very disappointed as the snack bar was for the youth organizations use. There doesn't seem to be any interest in completing this structure at all. Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen indicated that it seems inconceivable that we cannot get this project completed. However, we cannot leave it half done and it does not make any sense to tear it down. Therefore, we must complete it. She suggested we might consider a percentage breakoff for the City on what the snack bar makes to cover the expenses. This may not cover the cost, but may help defray the expenses of water and electricity. Mayor Matteson asked how much money has been invested in the snack bar to date. Mr. Rollins indicated it would be difficult to estimate the actual financial investments in the project as a majority of the material and labor has been donated. The only actual financial investment in the project has been the funds expended by the City. Councilman Grant indicated Council should give serious thought, in the future, before embarking on a project where we depend on volunteers who are well meaning initially, but whose enthusiasm later wanes. He further indicated he feels we have a possibility of a liability problem here. And, as reluctant as he is to have this City drawn in like this, he agreed with Councilman Evans that something has to be done. Mayor Matteson agreed with Councilman Evans' comments and indicated he feels Staff should bring in a further report before a final decision is made. Councilwoman Crawford indicated that on the agenda tonight is a contract with the Sheriff's Department for the City's participation in the County's Weekend Work Program. She questioned whether these people would have the expertise to contribute labor to the snack bar. Mayor Matteson asked Detective Gilbreth, of the Sheriff's Department, if he had any comment in this regard. Detective Gilbreth indicated he could not answer the question at this time. However, he stated he would investigate and report to Council. Council Minutes - 3/26/87 Page 4 Mr. Rollins indicated he felt he should remind Council that Mr. Anstine did go to bid for the completion of this project and received one bid. He also spoke to other contractors. The point Mr. Anstine brought out was that the contractor who assumes the responsibility for completing the snack bar also assumes the liability because there has been no building permit, no building inspection and no participation by the City's Building Department. Councilman Evans indicated the situation is fully understood as it now stands. What Staff must do now is bring back a report outlining the problems that exist and alternative solutions to the problems so the building can be completed. Motion CC-87-45 carried ALL AYES. Wilderness Park Mayor Matteson asked what the Wilderness Park Committee was, Committee how many members serve on it and how often does it meet. Councilwoman Crawford indicated that the Wilderness Park Committee is an Ad Hoc Committee that was formed three years ago. It's membership included Susan Crawford, Jerry Hawkinson, Joe Ramos, Doug Erway, Frank Ferre, and former Councilman Petta would sit in on these meetings. Councilwoman Crawford indicated she had resigned when she was elected to Council. The Committee met periodically when there was something to discuss. The purpose of the Wilderness Park Committee is to create a Wilderness Park consisting of the lands on Blue Mountain that are not buildable. Mayor Matteson asked how many times this Committee met in 1986. Councilwoman Crawford indicated she did not believe the Committee met in 1986. They had reached a point where the Committee felt they were at a standstill with Council as far as acquiring land on Blue Mountain. Councilwoman Crawford indicated she would like to rejuvenate the Committee. CC-87-46 Motion by Councilwoman Crawford, second by Councilman Grant, that Mr. Tony Petta be appointed to serve on the Wilderness Park Committee. Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen indicated she had no objection to the appointment of Mr. Tony Petta to serve on the Wilderness Park Committee. She did have concern about the Committee itself. When the Committee was formed, Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen indicated she had expressed concern about the liability the City would be assuming in the Wilderness area -as soon as the property belonged to them. She still has the same concern. People have hiked and used the side of that mountain probably as long as the mountain has been there. Nobody is keeping the people off the mountain. She indicated that, in case of a law suit, if the City owns the property, the person bringing suit will be more apt to press for a high financial Council Minutes - 3/26/87 Page 5 settlement. People are still using the mountain. Leaving the City open to liability claims seems inconsistent with Council's job. Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen further indicated that Mr. Dennis Kidd, owner of a majority of the property on Blue Mountain, indicated that, if the City did not take any action on his offer to sell the property by December 1, 1986, the offer would be withdrawn as he would not be in a position to take advantage of tax laws. The situation became more complicated with a property exchange offer made to Mr. Kidd by Council. The offer was to exchange Mr. Kidd's property on Blue Mountain for useful �rr City -owned property that would bring in revenue for the City. That, along with the fact that the Parks and Recreation Committee had, on at least two occasions, recommended against the City becoming involved with the side of that mountain as a park and recreation facility. She indicated she felt it was foolish for the City to continue to pursue the use of Blue Mountain as a City facility. Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen indicated that she is prepared to make a motion to dissolve the Wilderness Park Committee, if the motion before Council fails. Councilman Grant indicated that, as none of the other Councilmembers were aware of Mr. Kidd's comments to Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen regarding the withdrawal of his offer for the property, he could not comment on that. However, if the City is concerned about liability, he would recommend strongly that we: close down the Park on DeBerry Street immediately; not build the Park on Pico; not let anyone use Gage Park because he would not want Edison involved in liability problems. Councilman Grant stated the City must assume some risks with regards to recreation facilities. He indicated he was not talking about going into areas where the City would be inviting liability problems. He did not think the Wilderness Park is that kind of situation. He supports this motion because he feels that, if we are going to have any continuity in terms of wilderness or natural park developments, it's going to be through the auspices of this City. If it is left to private individuals, it will be left as it is with nothing being developed. Councilman Grant indicated he feels Council would be negligent in addressing the recreational needs of the City, if we avoid this extremely valuable opportunity to have something to say about the future of that very natural area. Councilman Evans indicated that he supports Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen's comments as they relate to hiking on the mountain. This mountain has been hiked for years and it will continue to be hiked whether the City owns it or not. And, since it is a mountain and has steep inclines, you incur a certain amount of danger when you hike there. This would lead to the possible liability problem, if the City owns the Council Minutes - 3/26/87 Page 6 property. He feels there is a certain amount of gamble anytime a public entity assumes responsibility for a public facility that is going to be used by the citizens. He feels the gamble has to be taken with regards to the DeBerry Street Park and the Pico Park Site. He feels it would be foolish to support a committee unless Council could give 100 percent cooperation for its purpose. He indicated that he could not support the development of the Wilderness Park. In his opinion, the funds should be spent in developing the Pico Park site and upgrading other parks or other recreation facilities. Councilwoman Crawford indicated that the object of the Wilderness Park Committee is to preserve the park for the citizens, not to spend a lot of money on it. There was never any intent to spend a great deal of money on the mountain. We have the opportunity to preserve something in Southern California that there is not going to be very much of in the future. She referred to the wild life and to the plant life. Further, everyone using the mountain is trespassing on private property. She feels it will be an asset to the community to have that area as a part of the community to preserve and to improve it by doing a minimum amount of work. Mayor Matteson indicated that, as the Wilderness Park Committee has not met in over a year, he would be in favor of disbanding it. However, if Councilwoman Crawford wishes to reactivate the committee, he sees no problem with it. The Committee cannot make any decision unless they come back to Council for approval. Motion CC-87-46 carried with Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen and Councilman Evans voting NOE. PLANNING Councilman Grant indicated that members of Council received a COMMISSION letter from Mr. Daniel McHugh submitting his resignation from the Planning Commission. Councilman Grant wished to have a letter sent to Mr. McHugh expressing Council's deep and sincere regret on his resignation. He also wished to have Council proceed to recruit a replacement for Mr. McHugh with the selection process to be as it has been in the past. Council concurred with Councilman Grant's suggestions. COUNCIL REPORTS Mr. Arkebauer Councilman Grant advised that one of the "No -Parking" sign installed in front of Mr. Arkebauer's home is missing. He suggested that another sign be reinstalled. Council Minutes - 3/26/87 Page 7 Trash To Energy Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen advised she attended the "Trash To Energy" meeting in San Bernardino and came back quite frightened at some of the things the testimony brought out. She mentioned that twelve plants are proposed in the Los Angeles area and that the prevailing winds make Grand Terrace a depository for all their pollution. This is something the citizens of this community need to become informed about. Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen indicated that there is a petition here tonight to stop the tire burning plant in support of a piece of legislation Assemblyman Clute is carrying to place a moratorium on this type of facility until they know more about it. The testimony she heard the other night would indicate they should never build the tire burning plant. The solutions are not going to be simple, but the people are going to have to buy into them. Traffic Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen advised she has spoken to a number Mt. Vernon Ave. of citizens who are becoming increasingly concerned about the traffic on Mt. Vernon Avenue at peak traffic time, especially when children are going and coming to school. People in that area who have children going to school are asking Council to put in crosswalks and a four-way stop at Van Buren and Pico. Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen indicated she would like Council to consider and discuss the possibility of installing crosswalks and installing four-way stop signs at Van Buren and Pico immediately. On the Mayor's request, the City Engineer indicated that he would have no problem with the proposal for installing four-way stop signs at the two corners mentioned. As far as the safety of the children is concerned, he does not have the count on pedestrian traffic at those intersections and he does not recall what the Traffic Engineer's Study of two years ago said about these two intersections, if anything. If Council wishes to take action from a technical point of view, Mr. Kicak had no problem with it. The Acting City Manager advised that, in discussing this matter with the City Attorney, it is the City Attorney's opinion that, if Council wishes to give this direction to Staff, they could do so at this meeting as it is a health and safety item. CC-87-47 Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen, second by Councilman Grant, Council direct that four-way stop signs be installed at Van Buren and Pico on Mt. Vernon and that pedestrian crosswalks be painted immediately. The Acting City Manager indicated, that along with the direction from Council, it will be necessary to appropriate the funds required to install the four-way stop signs and to paint the pedestrian crosswalks. The City Engineer indicated the cost of the stop signs and the crosswalks would not exceed Council Minutes - 3/26/87 Page 8 $2,500. Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen indicated that she would amend her resolution to include the appropriation of the necessary funds, second concurred. Motion CC-87-47 carries ALL AYES. Riverside/ Councilman Grant indicated he had a suspicion that Council may Highland Water have done a disservice to the Acting City Manager when they Board designated him to represent the proxies as well as the City's shares at the Water Board meeting in the sense that he did not feel Council gave the Acting City Manager adequate advice on how to proceed. Councilman Grant indicated he got the 4 impression that the people in the community were expecting much more from the City's representative at the Water Board than they should have. To what extent they were led to believe that great things would happen if they signed over their proxy he had no idea. He indicated his understanding is that we did not have that many shares. That is not totally the City's fault as you only have the shares people sign over to you. He suggested that, in the future, if we are going to do this type of thing, Council should give more concise direction to our representative as to how to vote on items that are on the agenda, so that our representative is not being sent in unprepared. Councilman Evans indicated that the citizens of Grand Terrace must realize that the City of Grand Terrace cannot control the Riverside/Highland Water Board in making decisions favorable to a residential community. When the City reaches the point where Ahr it carries the majority of shares so that we can make an impact and ensure that the Board be impaneled with members that are more favorable to our representation, then we must go out and make an all-out effort prior to the meeting so that everyone knows what the City's position is and we can support or reject it by giving the proxies. Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen indicated that two things occurred that may have influenced this situation. One was inaccurate reporting by the newspaper. Two, while a retraction was made, it was printed on page six of the paper in very small print. Therefore, people were not aware that what was reported was inaccurate. Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen indicated she spent two days contacting people who had signed over their proxies to her in an effort to get them cleared so that the Acting City Manager could act as representative for the City and for the proxies signed over to the City. She indicated she had cleared all but ten of the proxies. She indicated she understand that some of the citizens are upset that the Acting City Manager left before the meeting was over. She indicated he did what he thought was correct based on the directions he had. The Water Company did their usual change and made those votes ineffective. She thinks that the most important fact that can Council Minutes - 3/26/87 Page 9 be brought out at this time is that, according to the Chairman of the Board, Bill McKeever carried a thousand proxies. The City of Grand Terrace carried a hundred and two proxies. This would indicate that a lot of citizens did not send in their proxies. She estimated that probably two thousand did not submit their proxies. The Water Company belongs to all the citizens, not just to the City. And we all have to get involved. Mayor Matteson indicated that it behooves the City to solicit all the proxies before the next meeting which would give us enough power to offset those held by Mr. McKeever. Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen indicated that we have to get more than that to override the grove owners who are on the Board. Traffic on Palm Councilwoman Crawford raised the issue of traffic on Palm. She indicated it is still traveling in excess of 35 mph when Palm is posted at 25 mph. She indicated she had not seen a patrol car on Palm since the last City Council meeting. There is the problem of children on Palm catching the school bus at the corner of Palm and Preston. Every morning and every afternoon there are parents who walk their children to school and are waiting for them in the afternoon. There are no crosswalks on Palm. She suggested that the only place she could see the possibility of breaking up traffic was at the corner of Paradise and Palm. She suggested that perhaps consideration could be given to installing a four-way stop at this location. Mayor Matteson asked if there was a particular time when the excess speed was heavier. Councilwoman Crawford indicated that traffic on Palm is not particularly heavy, but it is excessively fast. Mayor Matteson asked Detective Gilbreth if he would have his officers patrol Palm to ensure that the speed limit is obeyed. Detective Gilbreth indicated he would do so. Mayor Matteson indicated the petition Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen mentioned previously was Assemblyman Steve Clute's effort to prevent the construction of tire burning facilities in the Inland Empire. It's for Assembly Bill 514 and Assembly Bill 515 which would create a five-year moratorium on tire burning plants in urban areas. Mayor Matteson advised that the petition was available for signature if any citizen wished to sign it. Girl Scouting At the March 12, 1987 Council meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen asked that a resolution be prepared recognizing the 75th Anniversary of Girl Scouting. She commented on the week-long celebration of the 75th Anniversay of Girl Scouting and read the resolution. Council Minutes - 3/26/87 Page 10 CC-87-48 Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen, second by Councilwoman Crawford, ALL AYES, that a RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE, CA, RECOGNIZING THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF GIRL SCOUTING be approved and forwarded to the San Gorgonio Girl Scout Council. Council recessed at 6:28 p.m. Council reconvened at 7:00 p.m. PUBLIC HEARING A Public Hearing was held at 7:00 p.m. with regards to a request for approval of a tentative Parcel Map No. 10439 for a 4 period of two (2) years. The City Engineer printed out the location of the proposed tentative Parcel Map and explained that the proposal is to subdivide a single parcel into two parcels. The staff analysis of the proposal is that it would divide a single parcel into two parcels and that all of the utilities are now available to both parcels. City improvements exist along Barton Road frontage. Access to the rear parcel is available by mutual easement agreement between the City and the property owner. Staff recommended that the Planning Commission conduct a public hearing on tentative Parcel Map No. 10439 to make the findings as follows: (A) The proposed Map is consistent with both the General and Specific Plans. 4hr (B) The design or improvements of the proposed Parcel Map is consistent with the Specific and General Plans. (C) The site is specifically suitable for the proposed density of the development. (D) The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantial unavoidable injury to fish or wild life or their habitat. (E) The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not cause serious health problems. (F) The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with easements required by the public at large foir access to or use of property within the proposed subdivision. This proposed tentative Parcel was submitted to the Planning Commission who recommends approval of the tentative Parcel Map No. 10439 to City Council including the findings as outlined in Council Minutes - 3/26/87 Page 11 the Staff Report and subject to the conditions recommended by Staff. There was no public participation in the Public Hearing. Public Hearing adjourned at 7:03 p.m.. CC-87-49 Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen, second by Councilman Evans, ALL AYES, that Council approve tenative Parcel Map No. 10439 for a period of two (2) years. Colton High Diane Covarrubias, A.S.B. Vice President, Colton High School Yellow Jackets Yellow Jackets, was present and advised that the A.S.B. Council is sponsoring a poster contest. They invited a member of the Grand Terrace Council to sit on the judging panel for this contest. Diane indicated that Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen had agreed to serve on the judging panel as a representative from the City of Grand Terrace Council. Diane thanked Mayor Pro Tem Pfennighausen for her willingness to participate in this event. Riverside/ Mayor Matteson indicated it is his understanding that there are Highland Water four thousand nine hundred and eighty-eight shares of the: Company Riverside/Highland Water Board available. Two thousand one hundred and ninety-four and one quarter shares is the majority. It will be necessary to have two thousand five hundred seventy-five and one-half votes presented by the next meeting in order to have an impact on the meeting. Ed O'Neal Mr. O'Neal outlined, for Council's information, the previous 22608 Minona Dr. submission he had made to Council with regards to the Concerned Citizens of Grand Terrace's offer to solicit proxies to be used at the Riverside/Highland Water Board meeting. Mr. O'Neal indicated that this offer is still available.

The claim is for damages of $370.20, an amount equal to the itemized receipts for medical care which are attached to the original claim. In conversations with the Community Services Director it appears that a condition may have existed that may have contributed to an injury. The condition consisted of a slackness in the climbing rope assembly. The condition has been corrected and procedures have been established to monitor and correct any problems with the playground condition. STAFF RECOMMENDS: THAT COUNCIL SETTLE THIS CLAIM IN THE AMOUNT OF $370.20 AND THAT CLAIMANT ACCEPT THE AMOUNT AS PAYMENT FOR ALL DAMAGES INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THIS CLAIM. TS:bt March 26, Dear Mayor and City Council Members, As per my conversation with Mr. Randall Anstine this letter has been composed to bring to your attention the accident that occured. On December 31, 1986 my 9 year old daughter, Carrie, severely injured her ankle while playing on defective playground equip- ment at Terrace Hills Community Park. Upon examing her ankle at University Prompt Care and with the varification of x-rays the diagnosis was a right fibular fracture. This injury required casting and the use of crutches for 7 weeks. At the recommendation of Dr. Daniel Injo the attending M.D. at the care center i contacted Mr. Anstine Comm. Serv. Director, Aregarding the dangerous equipment so repairs could. be made before more children could be injured. ",tie also needed to be reinstated for out or the pocket medical expenses that we do not have insur- ance coverage for. Although there have been other expenses resul- ting from my daughter's injury we are not requesting reimbursement for these at this time. Ho,rever, we are in need of a prompt response for the actual medical costs that we have incurred and have enclosed the receipts herein. Please give this matter your immediate attention. Sincerely, A Mrs. Richard Ippolito 22648 Brentwood St. Grand Terrace 824-9365 ,1, DATE: April 3, 1987 STAFF'REPORT C R A ITEM ( ) COUNCIL ITEM MEETING DATE: April 9, 1987 AGENDA ITEM 140.�_ SUBJECT FINAL APPROVAL OF TRACT MAPS 13050 - PHASES 1 THROUGH 4 FUNDING REQUIRED NO FUNDING REQUIRED XX Attached you will find final Maps for Tracts 13050, Phases 1 through 4.

Mike suggested that we should perhaps reconsider making our own pamphlets. J. Hodder took an action item to contact SCEPP and find out what pre -made material was available (AI #87-08). Jim also will talk to Ivan Hopkins and discuss copywrite problems in using existing material (AI #87- 09). E. Luers will contact Lafferty & Associates who printed the Edison pamphlets and ask for a price on printing a similar publication (AI #87-10). 2. V. Pfennighausen suggested that one of the tent frames be expedited so that the committee could evaluate it. R. Anstine Will contact the manufacturer and report back to the committee (AI #87-11). 3. E. Luers suggested that R. Anstine discuss a city-wide warning system with the City Manager. This had been dicussed previously and the committee would need some direction from staff (AI #87-12). ACTION ITEM STATUS AI #86-17 M.

Jim will continue to extend the invitation. NEW BUSINESS 1. A discussion was held concerning the availability of storage space for supplies and materials. It was generally agreed that the problem will soon become acute with continuing acquistions. E. Luers reported that he had talked to a shipping container supplier, and that they would be willing to sell the city an 8'X 8'X 20' excellent condition used container for $1500.00, set in place, which would normally sell for approximately $300.00 more. Since the current committee budget would not support this acquisition, R. Anstine suggested that the committee submit a request for a mid -year budget adjustment. J. Hodder will submit an action item to Council as soon as possible (AI #87-14). ANNOUNCEMENTS The next regular meeting will be held at 7:00 pm on 18 March 1987, in building 3.

CLOSURE: STAFF REPORT C R A ITEM ( ) COUNCIL ITEM (M MEETING DATE: 4/9/87 AGENDA ITEM NO. lob SUBJECT Sewer Lien Policy FUNDING REQUIRED NO FUNDING REQUIRED x_ In a Staff report to Council at their February 26, 1987 meeting regarding delinquent sewer fees, Council was advised that a policy to automatically place liens on delinquent sewer users was being prepared. The policy has been drafted and is being submitted for Councils review. Basically, the policy would be applied as follows: a) If a sewer users charge remains unpaid for three billing periods, the Director of Finance or designate will notify the City Clerk, in writing, of the delinquent amount and the delinquent charge which will equal $52.00. b) The City Clerk will take the necessary action to place a lien on the real property in the amount of the delinquent amount and charge, adding a lien registration charge of 50% of the delinquent amount and charges. c) Once the lien is registered, the Director of Finance or his designate will be advised in writing and will ensure that the lien amount is placed on the tax roll. The delinquent amount and charges are outlined in Ordinance 100. In preparing the lien registration policy, the lien registration charge was considered justifiable because of staffs time required to register the lien with the County, and adding the charges to the tax roll through the Assessors Office and the release of the lien when the charges are lifted. The time between the lien being registered and payment being received could be up to 18 months. STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE COUNCIL: ADOPT THE ATTACHED RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE SEWER LIEN POLICY.

Mardi S. 1947 La's Vegas leaders push bullet train Businessmen' express interest; SCAG skeptical ONTARIO (AP) — A delegation of Las Vegas, Nev., leaders are trying to persuade San Bernardino County officials to see both ends of the tract in their efforts to win support for a high-speed train. They say benefits of a 250-mph train run in both *directions — not just to Nevada, Las Vegas Mayor Bill Briare. Snare and other Las Vegas of- ficials described their plans for the bullet train on Thursday in an effort to win support from the Business Development Association of the In- land Empire, a pro -development group. Tourists certairly.would use the train to shuttle to and from Las Vegas, said Robert Parsons, who has served as project manager and now does research for the California Department of Transportation_ �j But Parsons added the train also would be a general commuter ser- vice and could be the equivalent of a "fifth airport" in Southern California. The Southern California Association of Governments' ex- ecutive committee generally op- poses the proposed bullet train, said Peggy Sartor, a member of the committee who also sits on the Victorville City Council. Ms. Sartor said the SCAG opposes the train because "the negatives Century Freeway Incl r LOS ANGEL ES (AP) — Com- pletion of the long -delayed Century Freeway is among 300 new projects in a $14 billion, five-year spending proposal by the California Department of Transportation. The plan, released Friday, coo- tains 1,600 projects, ranging from new freeways to highway maintenance. mass transportation and toll budges, said Caltraos Director Leo Trombatore. outweigh the positives, including the potential air pollution from the train. The planned route for the train would run m0 miles between Las Vegas and Ontario along the in- terstate 15 corridor and would in- clude stops in Barstow and Victor- ville, supporters said. Magnetically levitated trains would reach speeds of up to 250 mph and would make the one-way trip in about 70 minutes. The California business leaders generally reacted favorably to the idea, according to Jess Johansen, the association president. "I would say that our organiza- tion, overall, is very much in favor of the train." Johannsen said. "I know some people say it will just take people to Las Vegas, but that train will run in both directions." So far, the project hasn't moved past the planning stage. Proponents are seeking private investors to support the project, which is estimated to cost =.5 billion to build. After studying the proposal, the Federal Railroad Administration concluded last year that the project was technically and financially feasible. "There is every indication the system will pay for itself and make a profit... Why should we lag behind countries in Europe and Asia?" said Jack Libby, a Las Vegas developer and chairman of the city's task force promoting the train. Briare told the California business leaders that High-speed rail transportation "is the most arnazi +ro and exciting concept in ground transportation. You can be the first to do something about it" uded In five-year plan The projects include freeways in Richmond, Stockton, Santa Bar- bara, Auburn and Roseville. Funds would come from federal, state and private sources, including local sales taxes. The state Transportation Com- mission will review the plan and those of local transportation plann- ing agencies before deciding on the plan In June. a Misquoted The story in the Sunday, Mar. 8. Daily Press about the presentation made by Las Vegas interests on behalf of the MAGLEV High speed train misquotes me. Since this project could have a majar impact on our area, I fed it is necessary to clarify my statement. As a desert resident, I commented that I was happy to see that both Victorville and Barstow are still being considered as possible stops for the train, since at an earlier presentation to SANBAG they had been eliminated. Most people who have talked with me about this project agree that, unless there is some benefit to us (such as faster transportation to the metropolitan areas and a local stop) then isn't much incentive to support it+ mainly because of the VISUAL pollntion and the intrusion into our lifestyle. As a representive of SCAG, I pointed out the concerns of members of the Executive Committee as voiced at the meeting I had attended earlier that day. I did say that from a regional planning st:andpoiut, the negatives seemed to outweigh the positives, and gave as an example the need for completion of. the foothill freeway, since bringing tramloads of people into Ontario each day would compound the congestion on our freeways whir+, already concerns regional governments. Members of the SCAG Executive Committee had numerous concerns which I summarized with the suggestion that they be considered in the future plans. I did not say that we opposed the concept of high speed rail, and especially not on the basis of potential air pollution. I have seen the MAGLEV train in Germany and ridden on the Bullet Train in Japan, and am convinced air pollution from the trains is not a problem — it is the added polution from in- creasing use of cars and busses to serve those who ride the train which is of concern. Another serious concern is that the proposed legislation coaxing out of Sacramento provides for a two -state committee to work on the superspeed train project. We believe that the financial impact will be on San Bernardino and Clark (Nevada) counties and it would only be appropriate to have all committee members :hosen from those counties. This is another example of the need for people who will be affected to let their gov- ernmental representatives know how they feel about projects which will have great impact on 'heir lifestyle. PeggySartor VictorvWe --�- v ® The Sun Editonal� .71 .25 von. t fie _ _t�'_ .tit 1� 51e7 - -''' San Bernardino County officials take an i unjustifiably dyspeptic attitude toward the proposed high-speed Maglev train between Southern California and Las Vegas, but on at least one aspect of the situation, their concern is warranted. They are correct in saying that legis- _ lation to create a two -state commission to carry out the $2.5 billion project gives the = county short shrift in representation. ` As the bill now stands, the seven CaIifor- nia members on the commission would all be appointed by state officials. Only four would be chosen from Southern California and none are guaranteed to be from San _Bernardino County. Yet the train, with its Southern Califor- nia terminals proposed in Anaheim and On- tario, would follow a route to Las Vegas that would be almost completely within San Bernardino County. Supervisor Barbara Riordan says she has been assured by Assemblymen Jerry Eaves, D-Rialto, and Bill Leonard, R-Red- lands, that the bill can be amended to guar- antee direct representation for San Bernar- dino County. Riordan said such an amendment would provide a "guardianship" 1with which she would "feel more comfortable." _ A - It -c n be -debit - ._ -• eci;whether-some `county, s officials1have 'had 'suificient_grounds for their, hostility --toward'-the-projdc - (Their^ !::attitude rhas -been that_the�train"would do' little but=send_local'- _61lars rt0;- 'as''Vegas' k'casinos, while creating traffic and pollution-- problems at its terminals herel However, their"kight to b'e:Eeard and .to have reasona- ble access to the project's.plannirigis not a matter that should be debatable:-=• While - the concerns -expressed by the county'officials-ma ='not pre in the long'. -run,. they:=deserve to -ha e a place in the -give -arid take- that"• leads'to the final deci-_1 sion.':\o process can be legitimate when a" directly interested party, is completely ig-` nored.- , The San Bernardino County Transportation Commission SAN BERNARDINO ASSOCIATED GOVERNMENTS A PLANNING COUNCIL OF COOPERATING INTERACTIVE GOVERNMENTS Memo 444 North Arrowhead Avenue, Suite 101 San Bernardino, Califomia 92401 (714) 884-8276 Date: March 23, 1987 To: SANBAG Board Members From: Wesley C. McDaniel, Executive Director Subject: MAGLEV Train This is the meeting at which you have scheduled a vote on the general question of support, no position, or oppose the Maglev train. However, in this last week you probably all received a letter from Assemblymen Eaves and Leonard urging that you take no action, and noting they have secured an amendment requiring two San Bernardino County members. As this is written on March 23, we also are in contact with Assemblyman Eaves concerning another amendment which would limit the Commission's initial authority to further studies only, including the full EIS. It would then take a subsequent legislative action to trigger the action phase. Assemblyman Katz' reaction is unknown. Attached are the following items: 1. The Eaves -Leonard letter. Note that it implies., in the last major paragraph, only the study level of authority. 2. The bill, AB 1839. 3. The recent new letter from Bob Niehaus, the economic impact consultant. While it does trot change any data from his basic Phase If report, i-t displays the comparison much better. Note on Exhibit I, at the bottom . . . the imbalances are still very clear: a $554,000,000 net outflow to Las Vegas annually. 4.

COMMITTEE O. ON 2 'a's 19-107 SMA BERNAMINO ASSOCIATED GOTTT As the County's elected representatives in Sacramento, we joined as coauthors of AB 1839, a measure to create a joint commission between California and Nevada to evaluate, oversee and coordinate a possible joint high speed rail project. We believe it is important to San Bernardino that we take this leadership position rather than to allow legislators representing other areas to make important decisions that will affect our communities. Therefore, we urge your support of AB 1839. It is our position that it is premature and would not be in the best interest of San Bernardino County to take an active position either for or against any particular rail system .proposal at this time. We urge SANBAG to join us in not taking a stand on any particular system. Already, because of our efforts we have been able to insist on amendments to the original B:11 that will recuire at least two r.embe-- of the Colmnission to be from San Bernardino �Cou--i� an , with your support we shaft cantinue o see o that our County's interests are respected. We are concerned that a premature vote by an organization like the San Bernardino Association of Governments, would cripple our efforts to keep key decisions in the hands of those who know and understand the needs of San Bernardino. The start of any rail program is at least two to three years away. The only action being taken now is the creation of a commission to evaluate the proposals, to study possible routes and to coordinate future decisions. It is to our advantage to play a major role�in any such commission and for that reason, at this time, rather than voting on the rail system, we urge you to cast a vote in favor of the creation of the Commission.

Socioeconomic Impacts of the SS/GTS, Final Report. Prepared for City of Las Vegas. Santa Barbara, California (June). (2) San Bernardino Associated Governments. 1986. Las Vegas - Ontario Maglev Train: SANBAG Staff Analysis and ._Critique. San Bernardino, California (December 5). Dear Wes: Thank you for your careful review of our June 1986 final report (reference 1). Based on your staff report (reference 2) and our subsequent conversations, it is apparent to me that some of our findings were not presented in our report and its executive suamiary in a way that is clear to everyone. This letter clarifies our findings and presents our data in a different -- and hopefully better -- way. The overall conclusion of our regional analysis is that Southern California would gain most of the short-term jobs and income from system construction, while the Las Vegas metropolitan area would gain most of the long -terns jobs and income due to induced ridership and visitor spending. Short-term effects would occur while the system was being built and equipment pur- chased (completion assumed in 1994). Long-term impacts would persist for the operating life of the system (approximately 1995 through 2025). Exhibit 1 is a revised version of Table S-1 of the summary of our final report. I have expanded the table to include the secondary or multiplier effects of the SS/GTS, as well as the direct effects originally presented EXHIBIT 1 tt DIRECT AND TOTAL ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF THE SS/6TS; LAS VEGAS AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ' (ALL DOLLARS IN MILIONS OF 1984 DOLLARS) Las Southern Las Vegas as Z of Vegas California So: California Short-term; 1986-94 (planning; construction) Peak Year 1993 199Z - Direct Impacts (excluding multiplier) Jobs (a) 598 1,440 42% Payroll (a) $ 20 $ 47 43' Consumer spending (a) $ 14 $ 32 441 Materials/equip. spending (b) $ 27 $ 168 16: Total Impacts (including multiplier) Jobs (c) 1,436 7,849 .18: Payroll (c) $ 40 $ 199 20% Spending or sales (c) $ 99 $ 680 15: Long -Term, 1995-2025 (operation, induced and diverted ridership) System operation (excluding multiplier) Jobs (d) 86 128 67' Payroll (d) $ 3 $ 4 75: Consumer spending (d) $ 2 $ 3 67 Materials/services spending (e) $ 4 $ 18 22% Induced Ridership (excluding multiplier) No. of riders (baseline scenario, 000) 1995 (f) 1,161 271 4291% 2025 (f) 1,324 421 3140.'

I also have modified the table to show estimated anneal spending for equipment, materials, and services -- rather than just the multi -year cumulative spending shown in the original table. I have not rounded these data, so you can match them to individual tables in chapters 5, 6, 7, and 8 of our final report (see the notes and sources at the bottom of Exhibit 1). Note also that the table expresses economic impacts to Las Vegas as a percentage of impacts to Southern California. If impacts in both regions were identical, the final column of data would read 100 percent. The short term includes planning, design, engineering and construction of the project -- assumed in the report to be 1926 through 1994. During this period, peak -year total jobs (including multiplier effects) in Las Vegas (1,436 jobs) are only 18 percent of peak -year total jobs in Southern California (7,849). Put another way, peak -year total jobs in Southern California in the short term would be 5.5 times as large as in Las Vegas. In the long term (for example, 1995, the first year of operation), total Las Vegas jobs (including multiplier effects) are 612 percent of total Southern California jobs. In other words, Southern California jobs in the first year•.of operation are only 16• percent of Las Vegas jobs. A similar interpretation applies to the other measures -- payrolls and sales -- presented in Exhibit 1. All shoo: the same pattern, though the maoni;,udes diffLar somewhat due to variations in wages, sales patterns, and multiplier effects between the two regions. The total payroll figures are included in the total sales es;, imates, since they are computed as payment's to labor which are covered by the values of sales. Other statistics showing the relative pattern of impacts can be equally useful. Figure 1 displays the net total sales differences between the two regions -- in favor of Southern California during construction and in favor of Las Vegas for the operational life of the system. Figure 2 illustrates the share of bi-regional payrolls generated by the SS/GTS in 1995 accruing to workers in each region. Las Vegas is projected to receive about 81 percent of these payrolls. I hope this revised presentation is useful to you. Please do not hesitate to call if you have any further questions. — Best regards, NIrHAUSpp& ASSOCIATES Robert 0.

Recommended Action: (1) No formal position is required at this time. (2) SCAG should transmit technical/policy issues for further study and recommendations to the City of Las Vegas for consideration. ( 3 ) Staff should keep SCAG policy committees appraised of project -related legislative efforts and new information as appropriate. _toBack.;round and Project Description As previously reported to the Transportation & Communications and Executive Committees, the City of Las Vegas proposes to provide Super Sneed Train Service between Las Vegas and Ontario, California. Two Phases of consultant prepared study have concluded that the proposed service is feasible, would cover the 230 mile distance in about 75 minutes, with scheduled service operating from 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. daily for a round trip fare of $65 (1984 dollars). Forecasted annual patronage for 1995 is 3.6 million round trips which is expected to grow by some 40% to 5.0 million round trips in 2025. Initial capital costs would be $2,536 million with total annual operating and maintenance costs of $74 million (1984 dollars). Relationshin to SCAG Plans Although SCAG Is RTP and AQMP support the development of new transportation technologies, including high-speed rail systems, as a strategy to provide needed mobility and congestion relief in an enviornmentally sound and cost effective manner, the consultant finding of financial and engineering feasibility of MAG-LEV construction and operations has not provided satisfactory answers to several outstanding issues which may significantly impact Southern California. Overview of Outstanding Regional Issues Prin=ipal areas of regional concern include: (1) Net consumer spending A Transportation & Communications Committee Executive Committee LAS VEGAS-ONTARIO MAGLEV PROPOSAL Page 2 imbalance to Southern California, (2) Ground access congestion at Ontario train terminal location, (3) Induced regional traffic, congestion, and air pollution, and (4) As a special purpose train, the large investment will do little to relieve congestion forecast to occur in the region. Additionally, the Executive Committee noted that (a) job/housing balance could be -affected between the Ontario terminal and desert community residents, an,? (b) that if the project moves forward, Las Vegas should be required to mitigate anticipated impacts Yted in the SCAG report. Items 1-4 are discussed in brief detail in ttachment B. A more complete list of issues which require further study are listed in Attachment A. Current Status Currently the City of Las Vegas is developing a local funding package of approximately half a million dollars equally split among the City, County, State and private sources to maintain a small staff to promote the establishment of a Bi-State Super Speed Ground Transportation Commission. The purpose of the Commission is to secure right-of-way, perform necessary engineering and enviornmental studies, issue debt, select route and terminal sites, and to award a franchise to build and operate the.system. Future "Phase III" work will consist of those activities leading up to y`ie passage of legislation needed to form the Bi-State Commission. In regard, California Assemblyman Richard Katz has introduced Asse:=ly Bill 1839 to the California Legislature. A similar bill is he_ng introduced to the Nevada Legislature. AB 1839 is shown in Attachment C. Executive Committee comments on the outline of AB 1839 are contained in Attachment D. "Phase IV" work will include franchisee selection, EIS preparation, securing a joint use agreement for the I-15 right-of-way, engineering, and securing project permits. The City hopes to award the franchisee contract with construction commencing by 1989. Local agency staff who have been following project study work to -date include representatives from San Bernardino County, City of Ontario, Ontario Chamber of Commerce, SCAG, and Caltrans. The San Bernardino Associated Governments and Transportation Commission (SANBAG) will consider taking a position on this proposal at their regular meeting in April, 1987. Staff will continue to monitor project development and related legislative efforts, and provide future status reports to SCAG policy committees. Attachments Transportation & Communications Committee Executive -Committee LAS VEGAS-ONTARIO MAGLEV PROPOSAL Page 3 Attachment A -- LAS VEGAS-ONTARIO MAGLEV PROPOSAL Technical/Policy Issues for Further Study WSCAG has identified issues which require further study and/or explanation by the City of Las Vegas. These areas of concern have not been sufficiently treated in consultant -prepared studies to date: o Distribution of economic benefits and costs in Las Vegas and SCAG regions: Is the 4 to 1 net economic outflow stemming from the project something this region wants to accept? Can it be mitigated? o SCAG region congestion benefits: To what extent might the project help alleviate SCAG region forecasted traffic congestion., if additional stations or termini are provided? o Orange County project terminus: What is the feasibility and cost effectiveness of Orange County as a possible terminus of the system? _ o Barstow and Victorville stations: What would the impact of station locations at these cities be? Do cities want them? What is the affect of intermediate station locations on overall project feasibility? o Impacts on develoment: Issues of induced growth, land use impacts around terminal station in Ontario and in the desert? How will development patterns be affected? o Problems in vicinity of stations (safety, noise, parking, circulation): What are the full costs of mitigating these issues and who is responsible for providing added services? o Regional and local air quality impacts: How will the preferred alternative affect project -related and induced traffic emissions? .. P 06 Transportation & Communications Committee Executive Committee LAS V.GAS-ONTARIO MAGLEV PROPOSAL Page 4 Attachment B -- LAS VEGAS-ONTARIO MAGLEV PROPOSAL Outstanding Regional Issues -It should be pointed out that the following issues emerge from a rather cursory technical review of consultant prepared studies which total some $1.5 million, and that from the perspective of possible SLAG region impacts, studies to date have supplied neither complete and satisfactory answers, nor suggested mitigation measures. The decision of overall project merit, however, should be made following consideration of all "sides" of the issue by those affected public and private decisionmakers. o Net Consumer Spending Imbalance to Southern California Taking the position that project economics is a valid area of technical review, net consumer spending is greatly weighted in favor of Las Vegas. Table 1 illustrates the order of magnitude of net outflow of consumer spending and job creation attributable to the project: Table 1 1995 Net Expenditure/Job Imbalances (millions of 1984 dollars) (A) (B) (C) ..— Lost SCAG Region Gained SCAG Region Net SCAG Region Exrend Jobs Expend Jobs Exaend Jobs 100% Loss Direct -$ 360 $ 40 -$320 Indirect -$ 566 $ 63 -$503 Total-$1,108 $123-$175707 jobs) (-19,670 jobs) (-1,963 jobs) (- 50% Loss Direct -$ 180 $ 40 -$140 Indirect -$ 283 $ 63 -$220 Total -$ 554 $123-$2854 jobs) (-10,817 jobs) (1,963 jobs) (-8. To place these statistics in perspective, in 1984 the recreational/amusement industry`s_ share of SCAG's regional economy was: o Industry $ Volume -- $28,342 million or 10% of regional total. o Industry Jobs -- 619,000 jobs or 12% of regional total. o SCAG region $ GNP -- $201►828 million and 5,923,000 jobs. Column A spending losses in the SCAG region 'Fesult from induced travel a from Southern California to Las Vegas. Column B represents increased expenditures in the SCAG region as a result of induced travel from Las Vegas to Southern California. Column C represents the net effect of project related spending losses and gains to the SCAG region. Job a; Transportation & Communications Committee Executive Committee LAS VEGAS--ONTARIO MAGLEV PROPOSAL Page 5 gains and losses depicted are commensurate with expenditure levels. The two scenarios shown describe (1) a high (100%) loss situation, whereby the Las Vegas spending gains are all net loss to the SCAG region, and (2) a low (50%) loss situation in which only half of the spending gains to Las Vegas are net spending losses to the SCAG region. This assumes that the other half of the'spending losses may have been spent outside the region in other recreational areas 4 instead. it should be pointed out that a net economic advantage amounting to $625 million does accrue to Southern California during the ten year construction period; however, that advantage is overshadowed by one single year of operational imbalance. In addition, there may also be economic advantages to communities around system stations. o Ground Access Congestion New traffic demand induced by the proposed superspeed train project which terminates in the Ontario area will affect both regional and local facilities. Phase II studies make it difficult to analyze the potential ground access impacts because: (1)' the terminal location is unknown, -(2)-'the peak -hour frequency of train trips is not fixed, and (3) passengers per train trip are not clearly explained. _ , Given these uncertainties, SCAG analysis of possible state highway and local arts_ial facilitiy impacts assumed the following conditions to illustrate a range of impacts: (1) a 2010 operating condition for average weekday and weekend day which treats each operating hour of the day as handling 5% of daily passenger bcardings, (2) three additional impact scenarios which utilize a 10%, 20% and 30% peak hour passenger demand total, and (3) that the split of traffic which am -_roaches the area of terminal location (I-10/I15) is 48% from the test and South, and 52% from the east. Table 2 depicts the results. Table 2 New Traffic Demand Generated by SS/GTS Train ProAosal (Peak :lour --Year 1995 & 2010) Year % Weekday Wee_ . 1995 5% 145 217 10% 290 434 20% 580 868 30% 870 1,302 2010 5% 173 260 10% 346 520 20% 692 1,040 30% 1,038 1,558 .. i Transportation & communications Committee Executive Committee .%S ,DEGAS-ONTARIO MAGLEV PROPOSAL Page 6 In recent conversations with the consultant coordinator for Phase II Maglev studies, it was indicated that peak hour Friday afternoon train departures from Ontario would total 5, an average of one every 12 minutes. This level of passenger service would be comparable to the 2010, 20% impact scenario (weekend) depictad above. By 2025, passenger usage would rise to the 30% impact scenario (weekend). 4 Primary regional freeway access will be provided by I-10, Rt. 57, Rt. 60, Rt. 91, I-15 and I-210. As a point of reference, in 1984 portions of the Rt. 57, I-10, Rt. 60, and Rt. 91 experience severe recurrent congestion in normal commute periods. REGIONAL HIGHWAY SYSTEM IMPACTS. Looking at 2010 regional highway performance without the project, Figure 1 indicates the deficient regional highway facilities expected to experience severe future congestion. At the 20% scenario level, the addition of 692;(360 vehicle trips in peak direction) average weekday peak hour vehicle trips at first glance appears to be minimal, although westbound traffic on I-10/Rt.60, and eastbound Rt.60 traffic east of I-15 will experience delay. Average weekend peak hour project traffic however is likely to cause significant additional congestion as it adds the equivalent of up to 40 1/2 lane (541 vehicle trips in peak direction) of traffic demand on T_-10 which is severely congested. in 2025, this demand is expected to increase by 50% to 1,558 vehicle trips or the approximate equivalent need for one additional freeway lane. LOCAL FACILITY IMPACTS Extending the same methodology used for regional facilities to local facilities, Table 3 indicates how local roadways, if used as a primary route to the terminal location from the freeway system, would likely be impacted. All locally identified facilities in 1995, if utilized as a primary route to SS/GTS terminal from the freeway under assumed conditions -.could be impacted on both weekday and weekend peakhour travel times. Under the 5% scenario, sections of Etiwanda both north and south of. I-10 would be at or above capacity. At the 30% scenario in 1995, all 'facilities would experience severe peak hour congestion on both weekdays and weekends. Local access to the proposed terminal facility could be provided as a direct freeway connector which would lessen impacts illustrated here, but no mention is made of this alternative. i "r.CIL;71' *Cased on SCAG '82 Modified r• i c., U [11: 1 YEAR 2010* LOCATIONS OF SEVERE FUTURE DEFICIENCY p4C O CC44.

This is especially true for the Friday P.M. departures and the Sunday P.M. arrivals. i Transportation & Communications Committee Executive Committee LAS VEGAS-ONTARIO MAGLEV PROPOSAL Page 8 o Air Quality Impacts A conservative estimate of local and regional air quality impacts was made by evaluating air emissions generated by additional traffic (5% scenario level) attracted to the the SS/GTS terminal area. For localized air quality impacts, four receptor areas were identified, and an evaluation of carbon monoxide emissions attributable to the operation of the project in 1995 was completed. The range of CO increase in terms of parts per million at the receptor locations in the City of Ontario varied from 9.0% to 17.0%. An estimate of 1995 daily regional emissions for SS/GTS induced traffic travelling from different parts of the SCAB to the Ontario terminal location, indicated very small percentage increases of tailpipe emitted pollutants as follows for the 4 regional traffic impact scenarios shown in Table 2. Table 4 shows the results. Table 4 Tailpipe Pollutants Emitted by SS/GTS Induced Traffic (Tons per Day) Amount of Pollutant Emitted TOG CO NOX PM 5% Scenario .068 .717 .101 .007 --4, 10% Scenario .136 1.434 .202 .014 20% Scenario .273 2.868 .404 .028 30% Scenario .409 4.302 .606 .042 ** Average annual tons/day emitted in the SCAB by mobile sources in 1979 were: o CO --- 6,180 tons o NOX --- 832 tons o PM --- 89.6 tons o Single Purpose Train Since the termini of the train are located in Ontario and Las Vegas (with some discussion of possible stations north of Ontario in Victorville and Barstow), the only immediate congestion relief potential appears to be along the I-15 Corridor. According to Caltrans, current route development plans indicate the need to add capacity to I-15 between Barstow and CA/Nevada border by 1995. Successful train operation may delay this date by several years. However, if, the train is successful in diverting Las Vegas bound auto traffic to train use, it is unlikely that the need for the additional capacity would vanish given the number of intermediate destinations and other recreational vehicle usage I-15 serves.

Staff was instructed to communicate these positions to Assemblyman Richard Katz who has authored AB 1839 which would create a Bi-State Commission to implement the Ontario -Las Vegas Maglev high speed train proposal. o The four members of the Bi-State Commission from California be local elected officials. o The designation and funding of a regional agency on the California side to prepare appropriate responses to project -related developments which affect California. 4 o Require the preparation of a full Environmental Impact Report/Transportation Alternatives Analysis including terminal other locations) and routing alignments, identifying transportation opportunities and benefits for relieving forecasted regional traffic congestion by the year 2025, and giving particular emphasis to resulting air quality, energy, and land use impacts which accrue to California. INTEROFFICE MEMO IM3 DATE February 27, 1987 P NE 4141 `W' " -L FROM S HARON H I GHTOWER, PLANNING OFF IC Al, OFFICE OF PLANNING /�Pllls�A� TO DEBORAH BARMACK, SENIOR EXECUTIVE ANALYST cO11D�'°fSaa O BOARD OF SUPERVISORS SUBJECT 14AGLEV PROPOSAL - COUNTY REVIEW AND PERMITTIN 7 AUT:iORITY As requested we are providing you with our understanding of the County's review and permitting authority over the proposed super speed train between Las Vegas and Southern California (Maglev). San Bernardino County - Responsible Agency and County Authority: The Maglev rail line would have support facilities such as passenger terminals, which are proposed to be within the Cities of Ontario and Las Vegas and, perhaps, Victorville Those cities would have authority over these portions of the project, within the city limits, unless special legislation makes other provisions. The County would have Responsible Agency review authority as defined in CEQA if any portion of the project or support facilities crossed either private land in the unincorporated part of the county or if a permit were to be required to cross some county road or right-of-way. The franchise section in the P.U.C. code 6001 and 6002 that could give the County some additional responsibility is not applicable because this is an Interstate railway doing interstate b-us iness . If no County permits were to be required by this proposal, then the County would not have the right of Responsible Agency review. However, because the County has extensive health and safety protection provisions, some County department such as the Environmental Health Department, will very likely need to issue some permit, and then the County would be a Responsible Agency as specified by the State CEQA guidelines. In addition, under the provisions of the P.U.C. Code Section 1001 and the California Transportation Commission provisions, the County would have additional authority for input into the project review and permitting process, unless special legisla- tion removed those provisions. 12 1367-030 R.. s.es 1. Deborah Barmack -2- March 3, 1987 Possible Lead Agencies: A. A special bistate commission, created by state legislative action: Since no legislation has yet been presented, the legislation could include many specific provisions on the method and responsibility for project review and permitting authority. Participation in the preparation and adoption of such legislation would be desirable. B. The State Public Utilities Commission: Since both "best" routes propose using a utility corridor and since this Commission has state authority in issuing a certificate of public convenience and necessity, as specified in the P.U.C. code Chapter 5, Article 1 section 1001, for electri- cally powered rail lines, this Commission could be the Lead Agency for California. If it is, then the County could petition under section 1001 and thereby become able to participate in the review of this project. C. Cal tr ans : Since both "best" routes are proposed next to much of Interstate 15, the State transportation department (with input from SCAG and SANBAG) could be the Lead Agency. ^his is especially likely since the Maglev project proposes to request the use of a portion of the existing State riaht-o=-way along this Freeway. The County then could have i^.emu: and participata in protect review through the SXNBAG and SCAG Transportation Committees. D. Federal Agency: It is possible that some Federal agency may become the project proponent. Then the project review would become joint NEPA and CEQA environmental review, but the State Lead Agency would still be unclear. Very likely the Lead Agency would be a State agency or a special bistate commission.

The announcement came after some members of the San Bernardi- 1. no Associated Governme ? criticized ` a proposed bi-state commission on ; die ti5 billion train project as lack- ing the guarantee of representation from San Bernardino County. SANNBAG's executive, board, which is made up of elected officials from the county government and its cities, set April 1 fora vote on whether to sur::ori or oppose the train project. � �.OLgi a second Southern Cali- :;;--. to:.":i^.ail has been tallied about since the train project's inception, See TR .LN/P2 the commitment of money to study its feasibility represents a new seri- ousness about the idea. Las Vegas' development officer, Richard Welsh, said the study of a second terminal is in response to the concerns of West Valley officials that having one terminal in Ontario would significantly worsen the area's traffic and air pollution. He said the study was proposed by Bob Parsons, a Las Vegas4dred con- sultant on the train project. "Parsons believes that if you f spread the riders between two ter- minals, the traffic and air quality problems will go away," said Welsh after his presentation to the SANBAG board. The project involves constmcdm of a =i -mile elevated track between Ontario and Las Vegas, on which a { train would travel at up to'25S mph. ; \ow that studies have shown the project to be financially and tecbni- caliy feasible, the proponents from Nevada have sought legislation in both states to create a bi-state com- mission, Welsh told the .c4N'BAG board. Les_slation authored by Assembly - mail Richard Katz, R-Van Nuys, would create an eight -person com- mission responsible for studying the environmental effects of the project, right-of-way alc .g the Le- nore Freeway and aw- a fmn- ch.se to the Erm best able to bufld and one ate the s:stem. However. SA-NBAG members, in- ci u`'..'.-z Co,—,nty S per-. zor Jon Mkels and "Redlands City Councilman Tim Johnson, said the legislation is wrong to riot eu rantee San Bernardino Co— : eprese=ttion an the cam - mission. The legislation requires that two of the four California commissioners be from Southern. California, but not specifically San Bernardino County. Welsh and SA:\BAG Director Wes McDaniel promised to seek an amendment to the legislation to re- quire San Bernardino County repre- sentation. The importance of the commission was stressed by McDaniel, who said it appears San Bernardino County will have little control over the use of land for the train project. He said die commission will have authority for land -use decisions as long as the train is kept within the freeway right-of-way. Because the county may lose con- trol of the project to the bi-spate commission, both \Zikels and McDan- iel said it is important that SANBAG take a position on the project next month. STAFF'REPORT C R A ITEM ( ) COUNCIL ITEM (X) MEETING DATE: 4/9/87 AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.,L-L SUBJECT City Council -City Manager Leadership Team Workshop FUNDING REQUIRED NO FUNDING REQUIRED x_ Recently a notice was received from the League of California Cities regarding the Leadership Team Workshops for 1987. This workshop is scheduled for November 18-20, 1987 at Lake Arrowhead. The purpose of the workshop is to afford city officials the opportunity to assess and improve their working relationships at the city's top leadership level. This workshop requires that city officials participate as a team. While it is felt that the workshop is more successful if the full Council participates, the minimum number on a team is three (manager and two council members). Apparently, the sessions for the Leaderhip Team Workshop have a registration limit and fill up very quickly. (The registration fee is $475.00 per person). If Council members wish to participate, registration should take place now. Funds will be included in the 1987-88 fiscal year budget for attendance at this workshop. STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE COUNCIL: 1. COUNCIL TO DETERMINE IF THEY WISH TO PARTICIPATE IN THE LEADERSHIP TEAM WORKSHOP TO BE HELD IN LAKE ARROWHEAD NOVEMBER 18-20, 1987; AND 2. DETERMINE WHO WILL ATTEND; AND 3. DIRECT THAT THE NECESSARY FUNDS FOR THIS WORKSHOP BE INCLUDED IN THE 1987-88 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET. LT:ac COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO.

CITY COUNCIL - CITY MANAGER LEADERSHIP TEAM WORKSHOP NORTH SOUTH June 3 - 5, 1987 November 18 - 20, 1987 Stanford Sierra Lodge UCLA Conference Center Fallen Leaf Lake Lake Arrowhead South Lake Tahoe (The May 14 - 16, 1987 session is filled) RECEIVED-, The League of California Cities is pleased to announce the next sessions of the special "Leadership Team Workshop" for Mayors, Council Members and City Managers. This intensive, residential session -- unlike the traditional League conferences -- will be limited in attendance and will require that city officials participate as a "team." Cities participating in previous workshops have found it much better to have the full council, or �at least most of the council, participate. The minimum number on a team is three (manager and two council members or mayor). The purpose of the Workshop is to afford city officials the opportunity to assess and improve their working relationships at the city's top leadership level while still respecting the integrity of honest differences in opinions, principles and policies. The format of the Workshop will include both general sessions and concurrent team sessions all focusing on working relationships or "process." The Workshop will not, nor is it intended to, provide a forum for deliberation or decisions relating to specific policies, plans or programs in a city. After participating in the Workshop mayors, council members and city managers will better understand what they and the other members of their leadership team need to make a decision. You will deepen your understanding of the various individual roles in your city's leadership team and how to effectively fulfill those roles. You will increase your understanding and skills in setting a climate to negotiate agreement without giving in. The site of the workshop was selected for its conduciveness to the success of the sessions. The location offers a quiet and undistracting setting perfect for concentrating on the work of your leadership team building. Stanford Sierra Lodge is on the shores of beautiful Fallen Leaf Lake in the South Lake Tahoe area. The University of California Conference Center is on the shores of Lake Arrowhead. The sites offer simple but excellent accommodations and facilities. Additional information on the site will be sent upon confirmation of your registration. Because of the nature of the workshop, it is essential that all attending make a commitment to adhere to the beginning and ending times -- not arriving late nor leaving early. Also, accommodations are limited and the workshop schedule is not conducive to attendance by spouses or guests; therefore their attendance is explicitly discouraged. REGISTRATION The workshop requires a minimum of three officials, the City Manager and two elected officials (Mayor or Council Members), to be registered. Registration priority will be given to larger teams with more elected officials. Because of the importance that participants be in residence at the workshop, no registrations will be accepted for only the workshop and not the lodging and meals. The registration includes lodging for both nights and all meals as well as the workshop costs, materials, books, breaks, etc. This, along with the fact that attendance is strictly limited in order to provide for maximum involvement by all participating, results in a registration fee of $475.00 per person. *4wIN GISTRATION DEADLE For the June 3 - 5, 1987 workshop the deadline is Friday, May 1, 1987. For the November 18 - 20, 1987 workshop the deadline is Friday, October 16, 1987. .(Please note that this workshop tends_to,fill up months in advance. You are advised not to wait until the deadline to -register.)' REFUND POLICY Due to limited attendance at these workshops and the need to guarantee the facilities, a refund of the full registration fee less a $10 processing fee will be made only if a written request for a refund is received by the registration deadline indicated for each session. After that date a refund of 50% of the registration fee will be made if a written request is received not later than one month after the session. Refund requests must be made in writing and should be directed to the Conference Registration Office, League of California Cities, P.O. Box 7005, Lafayette, CA 94549. Please note that a ncellation cannot reduce the number of registrants below 3 without canceling the entire am. LOCATION AND TRANSPORTATION Please allow sufficient travel time to the workshop site to arrive on time by 4:00 p.m. on the first day and to stay to the workshop ends at 2:00 p.m. on the last day. Upon receipt of your registration, specific travel instructions and air fare discount information will be sent to you. If you drive, carpooling is recommended. If you fly, the northern site is best served commercially by the South Lake Tahoe airport; the southern site by Ontario airport. WORKSHOP LEADER The leader of each of these workshops will be Dr. David G. Jones, President, Sentient Systems, Inc. of Soquel, California. Dr. Jones has worked with organizations, both public and private, around the country and around the world, helping them to .develop better working relationships among their leadership. In California, he has worked directly with a number of cities in this endeavor and has served as the Director of the Continuing Education for Public Officials program, conducted in cooperation with the League.
