CC-85-86 Motion by Councilman Evans, Second by Mayor Grant, ALL AYES, to authorize the City Clerk to attend and testify before the Senate Elections and Reapportionment Committee in Sacramento May 1, 1985. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Larry Halstead, 22675 Barton Road, speaking as an individual, and not as a Chamber of Commerce representative, objected to statements made by Councilmen Petta and Matteson at the April 11 Council Meeting relative to the City controlling the Chamber Newsletter, and the printing costs. Stated he has never edited or changed articles submitted by the City. At the time the City approved newsletter funding, it was agreed the Chamber would provide audits; at that time was also Chamber Treasurer and prepared detailed audits which are on file with the City. Noted his costs were compared to those of the San Bernardino Chamber Newsletter, which was produced on second grade stock in one color; had a staff to write stories and to prepare layout for typesetting; circulated 2,000 copies compared to 4,000 in this City. Stated his firm's prices are competitive and has tried to establish a representation of quality and cost effectiveness; provides 40-60 hours of voluntary labor each issue re -writing articles submitted. Felt another printer unfamiliar with the City would have a difficult time producing the newsletter. Stated his firm donates thousands of dollars of printing that goes into the newsletter; the additional cost to produce the Commemorative issue was paid by advertising and donation by Mr. TerBest, with no funding request to the Chamber or City. John Mathews, 11733 Eton Drive, stated he has previously suggested estab is ment of a district voting system within the City; presented a proposed ordinance and requested it be placed on a future agenda for consideration of adoption. Suggested that each district nominate a 0 Page 2 -- 4/g5/85 candidate with all voters voting on each candidate and not just those within the individual districts. The ordinance also proposes that the Mayor be elected by the public at large for a four-year term. Requested consideration of this matter as soon as possible, noting that the item will be presented as an initiative if the ordinance is not adopted. Mayor Grant requested that this item be placed on the May 9 Agenda for consideration. Geor a Fisher, 22808 Miriam Way, objected to the ordinance adopted prohibiting commercial vehicles parking on residential streets. Stated his truck was ticketed listing Eton as the street address, and he lives on Miriam Way. Objected to treatment received at San Bernardino County relative to the parking ticket and to vandalism that has occurred to his truck when parked on the street. Stated he will have to move if he is not allowed to park his truck at his residence. Mayor Grant requested that Staff present a report on this matter at the next Council meeting. Recess was called at 6:40 and reconvened at 7:22 p.m. with all members present. PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT The Planning Commission Minutes of March 7, 1985 were provided. General Plan Amendment - Planning Director Kicak advised the Planning Commission has requested that Council initiate a General Plan Amendment for the Circulation Element to provide for access roadway between Canal Street and Mt. Vernon, with a general alignment coinciding with the westerly extension of Brentwood, at its April 22 meeting. Planning Commissioner McDowell stated the Planning Commission has asked for certain things to happen since 1980 including Gage Canal access. Engineering contacted Riverside at that time and was provided a letter indicating action would be required by the City to gain access. Traffic control on north Mt. Vernon has been a concern for sometime. There is indication that a new street is needed to alleviate traffic. The Planning Commission has requested a General Plan Amendment since this is required to accomplish that purpose. Councilman Evans questioned if the Planning Commission has documentation to support the proposal. Commissioner McDowell stated the two new proposed developments indicate a 30% traffic increase and that a traffic signal will be needed in that area. Al Trevino, representing Urban Interface Development, stated if a street in that area would alleviate traffic, it could be good, and his firm could possibly then increase the density. Based on past traffic consultants' reports, felt Mt. Vernon is over -designed as a four -lane road and could be scaled back and planted with a divider which would provide ample capacity for buildout to the year 2010 or 2050. The traffic engineers his firm has contacted feel an intersection and traffic signal at Brentwood would compound the problems. Felt it Page 3 4/25/85 should be studied in greater detail. If a good solution is determined, will support the solution. Felt what is presently shown in the General Plan is proper and adequate. 0 Planning Director Kicak questioned if Mr. Trevino would be willing to dedicate the necessary right-of-way if the need is established. Mr. Trevino replied he would not be. Planning Director Kicak questioned whether Council wants a study done in-house or by a traffic engineer; felt a study performed by a firm whose major function is traffic engineering could provide much credibility. Stated if there is agreement subject to what the report indicates, Mr. Trevino's project can then be processed with the understanding the conditions will be met to eliminate time restrictions. Councilman Evans questioned how this matter will impact review of Mr. Trevino's project at the May 6 Planning Commission meeting. Mr. Kicak felt it would be delayed. Councilman Evans stated if it will extend the time period, would recommend denying the Planning Commission and considering the current information; felt it would be unfair to delay the project if all criteria is met. Mayor Grant stated he wants as much information as possible due to the importance of this matter. Mayor Pro Tem Matteson questioned whether a study is justified and insisted on a cost study before proceeding with the project. Councilwoman Pfennighausen voiced concern for possible consequences if the proposed projects continue to be delayed; there currently is proposed legislation which could seriously impact the community which indicates that every city must address moderate and low income housing; noted that failure to do so could result in a requirement to provide density bonuses to developers. Indicated concern for the kind of developent that could occur in the City if the present high --quality developers are not allowed to proceed. Councilman Petta recommended, with Mayor Grant concurring, that Staff prepare a report. Councilman Evans indicated he would not object to that; does not want to delay potential quality development; does not want a low -quality project coming in. Councilwoman Pfennighausen recommended studying the many previous studies which have alreac4v been done and to make conclusions based on those studies; felt getting more studies is a delaying tactic. CC-85-87 Motion by Councilman Petta, Second by Mayor Pro Tem Matteson, to instruct Staff to bring in a study at the next meeting in reference to the feasibility of Brentwood going across Mt. Vernon, carried 3-2, with Councilwoman Pfennighausen and Councilman Evans voting NOE. PARKS & RECREATION COMMITTEE Chairman Dick Rollins reported (1) The Lions Club has offerred to support a proposed snack bar for the baseball field at Terrace Hills Jr. High, which would be used by all youth groups; (2) An exercise course will be pursued during budget hearings; (3) The Committee voted Page 4 - 4/25/85 unanimously to support the community fair in October in conjunction with the Chamber, which will conduct the parade.

Consideration of the request to remove a committee member was deferred to allow Mrs. Bayus to arrive. CRIME PREVENTION COMMITTEE REPORT Sharon Haag reported (1) Proposed future programs were reviewed; (2) The next Town Hall meeting will be held May 21 regarding burglary and vandalism. The last Town Hall meeting on drug awareness was not well attended. EOC COMMITTEE REPORT The Minutes of March 18, 1985 were provided. Councilwoman Pfennighausen reported (1) the Committee distributed earthquake preparedness literature at the Dedication Ceremony; (2) An Emergency Operations Plan for the City will be presented to Council in the near future. FIRE CHIEF REPORT City Manager Armstead reported: (1) advised written reports and monthly activity reports will be provided to Council; (2) Medical Aid calls have increased due to increased population; (3) Fire Department personnel have been conducting CPR classes; (4) The Department is trying to get a vehicle that will accommodate fighting fires in three-story buildings; (5) Submitted another request to the ISO to reduce insurance rates in the City. CITY ATTORNEY REPORT City Attorney Hopkins reported that action is being taken to proceed with acquiring the right to cross Gage Canal; as soon as all required information is ascertained, the matter will be brought to Council for further action. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS Mayor Grant reported: (1) Represented the City at the LAFC meeting on April 2) He and Councilwoman Pfennighausen attended the Dedication Ceremony of the Azure Hills Seventh Day Adventist Church; (3) Received correspondence from Councilman Richard Larsen of Redlands, dated April 9, inviting the City to join with Redlands in establishing an association of citizens and chambers of commerce to provide a forum to discuss regional issues. A meeting to consider such an organization will be held May 10 at the Hungry Tiger in Redlands; will attend that meeting; (4) Read correspondence from Barbara Khacherian, a representative of the Citrus Belt Quilters' Organization, requesting a waiver of the $150 security deposit required to conduct meetings in the Civic Center Meeting Room. Page 5 - 4/25/85 CC -85-88 Motion by Councilman Evans, Second by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, ALL AYES, to waive the $150.00 security deposit for the Citrus Belt Quilters' Organization to conduct meetings in the Civic Center Meeting Room. Councilman Evans: (1) Questioned the status and whether Mr. Akar had been contacte relative to exploring sharing costs on improvements at the Arco Service Station at Barton Road/Michigan. Was advised the plans had just been submitted for review; when completed, will discuss alternatives and costs with him. (2) Recommended purchasing a bicycle rack so bikes can be locked by CC-85-89 individuals visiting the Library. Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Matteson, Second by Councilman Petta, ALL AYES that Staff investigate and submit proposals for purchasing and locating a bicycle rack at the Civic Center. (3) Recommended, with Council concurring, that Staff be directed to request Caltrans to widen the Barton Road Bridge over the I-215 Freeway in the City of Grand Terrace. CC-85-90 (4) Motion by Councilman Evans, Second by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, to direct Staff to prepare an ordinance to amend the Municipal Code to decrease the Planning Commission to five members, with each Planning Commissioner appointed by and serving concurrently with the term of each Councilmember. Councilman Petta disagreed with disrupting the Planning Commission at this time; recommended conducting a study to determine feasibility of a new approach prior to considering action. Mayor Pro Tem Matteson voiced concern that the appointed members would serve as "yes" members, since each Commissioner appointed would reflect each Councilmember's point of view; felt differing opinions produce better solutions. Recommended surveying other cities' procedures. Motion No. CC-85-90 carried 3-2, with Mayor Grant and Councilman Petta voting NOE. (5) Motion by Councilman Evans, Second by Councilwoman Pfennighausen to amend the Municipal Code relative to the City Manager's position of hiring and firing department heads to provide for Council approval of actions similar to the Federal level as it pertains to confirmation. Mayor Grant stated the City Manager's authority to retain or dismiss employees, subject to the appeal process, is the backbone of good government; has consistently opposed the circumvention of what he feels is the City Manager's legitimate responsibility; Council holds the City Manager responsible for adequately managing the City; he survives on a 3-2 vote of Council. Mayor Pro Tem Matteson concurred, stating the City Manager is in a better position to know what type of employee is needed for a particular job. Councilman Petta also concurred, stating the City Manager must be given the authority if he is to assume the responsibility. Councilwoman Pfennighausen stated the City Manager would retain the authority to interview and select the best -qualified individual, Page 6 - 4/25/85 subject to Council confirmation, which is the procedure followed by the President of the United States and the Governor of California; doesn't feel it decreases the City Manager's authority; this procedure pertains only to major department heads; felt previous problems could have been alleviated had this procedure been followed. Mayor Grant stated the City Manager, not Council, is responsible for achievements, mistakes and adequately managing the City; felt he can't be held responsible if Council has the final say over the immediate staff selected. The Motion failed 2-3, with Mayor Grant, Mayor Pro Tem Matteson, and Councilman Petta voting NOE. Councilman Petta: (1) The State Lottery was discussed at the League of Cities Meeting April 24; questioned at that meeting whether funds generated by the lottery would benefit the schools; disagreed with the response which indicated the funds would be given to the schools and whatever happens is their business. Mayor Grant stated he feels the sale of lottery tickets in a business within the Community will increase its customers and will invigorate the business community. (2) Responding to comments made by Larry Halstead, felt his accusations were uncalled for. Is aware of problems which result when the public receives insufficient information; instigated and promoted the newsletter and provided Mr. TerBest with samples of another community's newsletter. Stated his reference to the City having more control meant there should be more information going out to the public, since some issues contained very little City information. Felt Mr. Halstead made widespread accusations resulting from comments made by individual Councilmembers who were voicing concern over the fiscal responsibility of the City. Councilwoman Pfenni hausen: (1) Stated she felt the newsletter is professional and of highquality, and would be difficult to improve. Hopes if another publisher is acquired that he will try to achieve the impossible and provide a better publication for the same amount of money. (2) Recommended, with Council concurring, that Staff be directed to prepare an appropriate recognition for Ed O'Neal, to be presented at the next Council Meeting, since he is leaving the Community; noted, with Councilman Petta concurring, that he is a dedicated citizen and should be recognized for his many contributions to the Community. (3) As the City's appointed representative, attended the SCAG Meeting in Los Angeles April 18; a presentation was given on landfill dumps, the resulting contamination of drinking water, and the need for technology to resolve problems facing governments of future disposal of refuse and hazardous waste. (4) Attended Citrus Belt Division of League of Cities Meeting April 24; noted Councilman Petta's question was whether funds generated by the lottery will solve the problems of the schools; the response given was that the funds will be generated, but whether it will solve the problems of the schools is yet to be determined, since money is not the only problem. (4) Three large dogs dumped trash cans and spread trash throughout her neighborhood; Animal Control was called but did not respond, which is Page7- 4/g5/85 a consistent problem; a dog was hit on Barton Road and was not picked up for three days; requested the City Manager to register a complaint with Animal Control and indicate the City's desire for better service. Mayor Pro Tem Matteson: (1) Attended Senate and Assembly meetings in Sacramento, inc u ing a meeting on the "Deep -Pocket" Bill limiting liability; met with Senator Ayala and other legislators; noted local governments are expected to resolve their own problems; received indication it would be impossible for the City to get an offramp due to limited State funding; the State has increased funding to promote tourism, which has decreased; met with Charles Terrell, Jr., County Superintendent of Schools, relative to changing the present school site to a different location. (2) Received a call from a resident of Grand Royal Mobilehome Park voicing a complaint that the newsletters are not delivered to those residents and indicating concern for the safety of the Barton Road/Canal intersection; requested Staff investigate this matter, since there have been several problems at that location. (3) Received a letter and newspaper article from Andrew Schroeder on Van Buren relative to growth, high density and traffic problems; concurs with that concern. (3) Referencing Mr. Halstead's comments, stated he feels it is his duty, as an elected official, to protect public funds; noted it is not out of line for Council to question expenditures listed on the check register at each meeting. Wants to know where City funds are going; $1,700 is being expended, plus ads are sold; questioned a possible conflict of interest since Mr. Halstead prepares the audits. Is concerned whether the City is getting what it is paying for, and has no problem if it can be justified. Talked to several printers and received one response from Capital Business Forms, a broker who does quality work, for $895. The City is paying $1, 700. Objected to Mr. Halstead's reaction; felt he could have approached Council in a more sensible, logical manner; noted this causes more concern that maybe something is wrong; wants to find out. Councilman Evans noted the City's General Plan makes a projection on ow many facilities will be needed, and indicates the school district should be exploring possible school sites as the City grows; questioned if the school district is addressing this matter. Planning Director Kicak advised a letter was written to the school district a year ago requesting an assessment of impaction. Council adopted an ordinance permitting collection of school development fees, but adoption of the resolution setting the fees was delayed pending receipt of the report, which has never been received. The City Manager wrote another letter; the district has indicated the City will receive information by the end of the month. Recessed at 8:45 p.m. and reconvened at 8:56 p.m. with all present. Mayor Grant commended Staff and the volunteers within the various organizations for the outstanding job done in preparation for the Civic Center Dedication Ceremony. Page 8 -- 4/25/85 HISTORICAL & CULTURAL ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE REQUEST FOR COMMITTEE MEMBER M A . Mayor Grant advised the majority of the Committee has formally requested removal of one of its members by Council. Councilwoman Pfennighausen noted five letters were received; questioned if letters were solicited from the other two members. Conducted considerable research on this matter; read the purpose and responsibilities of the committee. Stated the purpose is to preserve the history of the City and to facilitate cultural activities; noted facilitate means to enhance, not control, direct or supervise, which has been the direction of the Committee. Many groups can be involved in the performing arts, and the task should be to enhance, not control, each group. Stated the Committee voted not to sponsor the fair for 1985; prior to that vote, Mr. Mathews asked the Lions Club if it was interested in conducting the fair and parade. Some committee members are upset because Mrs. Bayus asked the Parks & Recreation Committee to take over the fair and parade after the Committee voted against sponsoring it in 1985. Stated certain committee members feel the need to control cultural pursuits in the City, and if they are not going to be done their way they won't be done. Events will continue, with or without committee approval. Commended the Committee for the outstanding job it has done collecting, compiling and preserving the City's history. Recommended that the historical tasks be continued by those devoted to those tasks, and removing the cultural activities to be performed by a separate committee. Mayor Pro Tem Matteson stated Mrs. Bayus should not be reprimanded because he didn't adhere to Council limitations on campaigning in the parade; felt she was responsible for the success of the parade, is an excellent worker and a credit to the City. Disagreed with the Committee's request for her removal because she doesn't agree with the Committee; noted Council seldom agrees, but feels disagreement is healthy and results in better decisions. Has read all material submitted and sees no justification for dismissal of Mrs. Bayus from the Committee. Councilman Petta stated the committee can no longer function due to dissension within the committee. Council has been requested to resolve the problem since it apparently can't be resolved internally. City committees perform an important service, and are comprised of unpaid volunteers. Stated a review of the information submitted indicates the members are no longer comfortable with each other; differences ❑f opinion can be discussed, but when it gets to the point where individuals are verbally attacking one another, the integrity of the Committee ceases. From a democratic point of view, questioned what else can be done if the majority of a committee feels they can no longer operate as a committee. Stated Mrs. Bayus has done much good for the Committee and other organizations; felt she might want to devote her energies towards committees where she can be more effective. Page 9 -- 4/25/85 Councilman Evans, noting most of the letters reference the parade which occurred 5--6 months ago, questioned why the matter wasn't brought to Council at that time if there was concern for potential wrongdoing. Reviewed the issue as two separate matters: (1) The 1984 parade; (2) Who is going to pursue the parade for the coming year, and whether Mrs. Bayus was wrong in asking another committee's interest after her committee voted not to pursue the parade. Saw no documentation indicating the procedure followed by Mrs. Bayus was improper. Noted Betty Duarte did not submit a response; questioned if she was asked to do so. Recommended separating the two functions and establishing another committee to deal with the cultural aspects of the City. Mayor Grant stated the inability to adjust to differences between people exists within every group. However, this situation is more difficult because the majority of the members of a duly -formed committee have indicated they cannot work in harmony with one of their members. Recommended making no further reference to Betty Duarte, noting the fact that she is a citizen as well as a City employee places her in an awkward position. Will support majority rule; otherwise, felt it will undermine future committees. Mayor Pro Tem Matteson recommended disbanding the committee and having each Councilmember appoint new members and form a new committee. Councilwoman Pfennighausen stated the committee minutes reflect the fair has been set aside due to the need to concentrate on historical pursuits; felt they should be allowed to continue their outstanding efforts in this area. Motion by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, Second by Councilman Evans, that the committee's title be altered to "Historical Committee." Mayor Grant opened the meeting to public participation. Chairperson Barbara Mathews stated she has been a member of the committee since a ruary , 1979; the committee responsibilities were established in 1979. The committee has explored historical pursuits and has tried to explore cultural pursuits, but there have been many roadblocks. The original intent of the fair was to find artistic talent and interest of the citizens; was trying to avoid the carnival atmosphere which occurred this year. John Mathews, 11733 Eton Drive, stated he asked the Lions Club if it would sponsor the parade only; it was a discussion item, with no action intended unless they were asked by the committee to participate. Ken Rinderha en, 12738 Wilmac, stated he and his wife assisted Mrs. ayus witlast year's parade. Was present when Mrs. Bayus asked the Parks & Recreation Committee if it would be interested in taking over the Country Fair since her committee had voted that night not to sponsor the event. Chuck Percy was also present and stated the same proposal had been made to the Lions Club in January. Recommended eliminating the committee. Ed O'Neal, 22608 Minona, objected to castigating the fair chairman�r an outstanding 1984 parade; was asked to participate; appreciates an individual who becomes a dictator and does the job when appointed. Recommended establishing a Fair Committee. Page 10 - 4/25/85 JimmBBayuuss, 22664 Eton Drive, felt the problem with the committee is the fair and parade; questioned if the fair and parade was such a disgrace that it shouldn't occur again, and should one committee have the power to determine whether or not the City has a parade. Barbara Mathews stated the grievances submitted by the five committee members were voluntary and not solicited; the members were advised they could submit if desired. Did not ask Mrs. Duarte because the five committee members who submitted grievances are the members who have felt there has been dissension within the committee. Felt the only issue which should be addressed is the committee request for the removal of Mrs. Bayus from the committee. Larry Halstead, 22675 Barton Road, supported freedom of speech; concurred with Councilwoman Pfennighausen's Motion to divide the committee; felt it has done an outstanding job on historical efforts, but has seen little evidence of cultural pursuits. Noted Mrs. Bayus is on the Chamber Board of Directors and does an outstanding job on all assignments. Barbara Bayus, 22664 Eton Drive, stated she was shocked when she received the committee report relative to her removal; there was no mention at the committee meeting; Mrs. Mathews advised her she was going to bring the matter of her approaching the Parks & Recreation Committee relative to the fair before Council. Stated she tries her best to do a good job. Mayor Grant closed public participation. Councilwoman Pfennighausen stated the committee minutes reflect that Mrs. Bayus reported on the fair or parade at each meeting, but has been charged with doing things without the committee's knowledge. The minutes also reflect that the recent Country Fair was a great success. Likes country fair environment and carnival atmosphere. Recommended, if the motion carries, that Mrs. Bayus be asked to organize a committee for the City to carry out the functions for which she has been castigated and that the Historical Committee continue to do those functions it does best. Mayor Pro Tem Matteson Called for the Question. CC-85-91 Motion by Mayor Grant, Second by Councilman Petta, that Calling of the Question be rescinded carried 3-2, with Councilwoman Pfennighausen and Councilman Evans voting NOE. CC-85-92 Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Matteson, Second by Councilman Petta, to table the Motion to the next meeting; at that time, a division of the committees and the duties of each committee are to be presented to Council. Councilman Evans disagreed with delaying action; felt a decision is needed, since it apparently takes a year to prepare a fair and parade. Councilwoman Pfennighausen felt action should be taken to support or deny the committee's request. Mayor Grant concurred with �- Mayor Pro Tem Matteson's request for an analysis. Councilman Petta felt this matter attacks the integrity of all committees, so time should be taken to consider the situation. Mayor Grant felt there Page 11 have been indirect attacks on most of the committee members; has high 4/25/85 regard for all members and has great respect for the members who submitted letters; felt they are conscientious and that no malice was intended; supports their position for that reason. Mayor Pro Tem Matteson felt working on the division of the committees may resolve the problem. Motion No. CC--85-92 carried, ALL AYES. ADJOURN - the meeting adjourned at 10:03 p.m. The next regular me�g will be held May 9, 1985 at 5:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted, APPROVED: Page 12 4/25/85 11
