The meeting was called to order at 6:39 p.m. by Mayor William J. Alexander. Present were Councilmembers: Paul Biane, James Curatalo, Rex Gutierrez, Diane Williams, and Mayor William J. Alexander. Present were Planning Commissioners: Heinz Lumpp, Larry McNiel, Peter Tolstoy, and Chairman E. David Barker.

Adams, City Clerk. B. ITEMS OF DISCUSSION B1. DISCUSSION OF RELATIONS REGARDING CITY POLICY, HOW INTERPRETED AND DIRECTED Mayor Alexander stated over the years, it has always been a difference of opinion how projects were perceived, reiewed and approved. He felt the job of the Planning Commission was to keep the Council on line with development. He realized that there is a lot of dedication and commitment involved from the Commissioners. He hoped the Commission and Council can discuss how they really feel about issues. He continued to point out that the Council only has two weeks to reach a decision on an issue, while the Planning Commission has had weeks and months to study and vote on something. He also added he heard many good comments at the ICSC Conference in Las Vegas about the Planning Commission and the plan of the City. Chairman Barker stated he has always understood that the Council has the authority to overturn the Planning Commission's decision. He felt the role of the Planning Commission was to make recommendations to the Council for their consideration. He pointed out that all of the master plans and specific plans are not cast in concrete and can be changed if needed. Mr. Barker said that the citizens developed a plan and that we used to brag about being "the City with a plan." He expressed concern that comprehensive long term planning is in danger. He stated the Planning Commission and staff needs to be able to be concerned with planning issues and not have to attempt to interpret politics or count votes and determine whether there is a special relationship each time a particular developer or individual appears. He felt there has always been a coordinated effort City Council/Planning Commission Minutes May 29, 1996 Page 2 between the Council and the Planning Commission, and that when a Commission decision is overturned they could use this as a guideline for the future. He felt the City needs to continue to work towards a vision. He stated there is no challenge or question about the authority of the Council, but that the Planning Commission needs to know what direction the Council is headed. Councilmember Curatalo stated he felt the Planning Commission should continue their good work and that he is totally satisfied with the job they are doing. He stated if there is a problem, that possibly they need to look inward to see if it is the Council creating it. Councilmember Gutierrez stated he is proud to be raising his family here. He realized there is going to be differences of opinion. He pointed out how the golf course and the Epicenter were not originally in the plan, but have now proved to be very successful. He felt the City should be very selective in what is being developed on Foothill towards the I15 Freeway. He felt Lewis was treated differently, and wished that all developers knew the rules going in and that they were all treated fairly. He felt the Foothill Corridor needed to be revisited. He stated this is not political and that he just wants to do the right thing. He stated he is not against anyone and felt the Planning Commission has done a good job. He felt it was more difficult for the small or mid-size business to come into the City than a larger business. He felt the Council needed to be flexible but still have a vision for the City. He realized there are differences, but nothing that could not be overcome. He stated his main concern is Foothill Boulevard. Councilmember Williams stated the Planning Commission has always been selected because they were the best to do a big job. She stated she would never want the Planning Commission to be "yes" people for the Council. She stated just because there is a difference of opinion does not mean they are not doing a good job or their job at all. She felt sometimes the Council mixes people into a situation instead of the information the Planning Commission looks at. She agreed with Councilmember Gutierrez that everyone needs to be flexible. She stated she definitely does not want the Planning Commission to be "yes" people to whatever the Council would want. Councilmember Biane stated he stands behind the hard work the Planning Commission did in creating the General Plan. He felt flexibility was very important. He felt the Council was more people oriented because they are elected, whereas the Planning Commission is just looking at the facts. He felt Foothill Boulevard from Haven to Etiwanda should be full retail and that this was his vision. Commissioner McNiel thanked the Council for getting this meeting together. He felt there is more of a division between the Planning Commission and the City Council than there ever has been. He stated if the Council has a change of goals, then the General Plan needs to be changed to reflect this. He stated he did not feel the Planning commission process is any more or less arduous than any other one in the City. He stated he hears the Council is constantly "beating up" the Planning Commission, and added that he did not agree with this. He felt the approval of the Masi and Wohl projects were a step down in standards when approved, but that the golf course and Price Club center was a step up. He stated the Lewis' do not get special treatment, and that he did not think small businesses were being treated poorly, just being held to standards. He asked that the Council at least read the Planning Commission meeting minutes before making their decision. He stated when he has come to a Council meeting to speak it is because he wants the Council to get the full picture of the issue. Commissioner Tolstoy wanted to know what standards the Wohl project will be held to. He felt Rancho Cucamonga was the jewel of the Valley because of the standards that have been set. He felt the Planning Commission needed to hear from the Council if the Wohl project will be held to previously approved standards, or are those standards coming down and exceptions made. Councilmember Biane felt the Wohl project will be held to current standards. Councilmember Gutierrez felt standards should be kept as they have always been. City Council/Planning Commission Minutes May 29, 1996 Page 3 Commissioner Lumpp realized that the Council is the final decision maker. He stated the Council needs to give the Planning Commission direction in order for them to make their decisions for the future. He felt if the goals of the Council are not in the General Plan, then it needs to be changed. He stated some people from the Council have worked hard to get the quality of life in the City that everyone enjoys. Commissioner Tolstoy felt Foothill Boulevard should be revisited and that the Council allocated the funds to do this. He felt spot decisions never have worked and that the whole plan should be looked at. Councilmember Gutierrez felt the General Plan, if looked at, should focus on Foothill Boulevard. Commissioner McNiel stated he did not know why the Lube business ever got approved for the site and that it would create a real problem. Commissioner Tolstoy agreed. Chairman Barker stated he had been told over and over again by Masi that they had votes by the Council to get their changes approved for their project. Commissioner McNiel commended the Planning Department staff for their expertise, customer service and good job they always do. He stated he had heard from Masi that they just wanted to get through the planning process so they could hurry up to get to the Council to get their projec! approved how they wanted it. Councilmember Biane felt the developer not only played a political game with the Council, but also with the Planning Commission. Commissioner Lumpp felt all builders should start a project at the standards that are set and if they have a reason to change the standards he would listen to them then. Commissioner McNiel asked the Council if they have ever told him how to vote on a project, and then asked them how many times they have ever called him to ask questions about a project. He stated he does not feel comfortable with appeals when they go to the Council. He felt things were deteriorating. Councilmember Biane stated he totally disagreed. Councilmember Curatalo stated he felt something is wrong some place when the Council overturns the Planning Commission five times. Councilmember Gutjerrez stated he did not feel the Council and the Planning Commission were on the same page. Commissioner McNiel stated if the Planning Commission is going in the wrong direction then they need to know this. Councilmember Gutierrez asked Commissioner McNiel what his vision was for Foothill Boulevard. Commissioner McNiel stated Office and Light Commercial with ancillary services because that is what the General Plan states. Chairman Barker stated the Planning Commission has to go by the rules of the General Plan. Councilmember Curatalo concurred that the Planning Commission is to follow the General Plan and that is their guidance. City Council/Planning Commission Minutes May 29, 1996 Page 4 Mayor Alexander commented that it can also be changed if needed. Commissioner Tolstoy stated if the vision has changed, then that needs to be stated. He pointed out there is a lot of vacant centers on Foothill already built. Councilmember Biane stated he felt all commercial centers go through periods where there might be vacancies or there are transitions. Councilmember Curatalo stated he is satisfied with the Planning Commission's work and felt they should stay on course. Councilmember Gutjerrez stated he is very satisfied with the direction the City is taking although he disagrees with some of the steps taken to approve a project. He feels everyone should go by the same standards. He stated he values the quality of life in Rancho Cucamonga like everyone else does, and did not want anyone to think he did not care and was only making political decisions. He felt it was a good idea to get together and look at the General Plan so that everyone is on the same page. He stated he hopes that the Planning Commission will give the Council the benefit of the doubt as he will try to give them. Councilmember Williams felt the General Plan needed to be looked at, including the Foothill Corridor. She felt there were some awful stdp centers along Foothill Boulevard and wondered how the standards were set. She stated she didn't think that standards were always applied evenly. She didn't feel standards should be cut, but left as they are. She also commented that Foothill Boulevard should be looked at. Mayor Alexander felt everyone on the Council should draft their concerns about the General Plan and that they should possibly be forwarded to the Planning Commission for review in order to make modifications to it. He suggested a land use consultant look at what the Council comes up with before the changes are made. Councilmember Williams did not feel they should keep saying "change" the General Plan, but that they should say "revisit" the General Plan. Councilmember Biane felt the Planning Commission should keep on saying "no" to people when something isn't going to work and also treat them with respect. He also felt the General Plan should be revisited. He stated he did not know if a land use consultant was really needed. Commissioner Tolstoy stated he did not feel the staff had the time to review the Council's changes in order to change the General Plan. Jack Lam, City Manager, pointed out there is a lot involved in changing the General Plan and a lot of things that need to be considered. He felt infrastructure needed to be looked at and other various elements. Councilmember Williams felt the 4th Street area should also be looked at. Commissioner McNiel stated if the direction is changing he would appreciate the Council letting the Planning Commission know. Chairman Barker felt when the Planning Commission is ovedurned that it is sending a message to them and that is something for them to consider and incorporate. Commissioner Lumpp felt there is a change in direction, and that he likes the idea of revisiting the General Plan. He stated his intention is not to relax standards. He asked for the Council's support when the Planning Commission does make a decision so there is not a perceived division. City Council/Planning Commission Minutes May 29, 1996 Page 5 Councilmember Willjams stated it would help her to get the Planning Commission minutes sooner than she is receiving them. Chairman Barker thanked the Council for bringing everyone together. B2. DISCUSSION OF ITEMS OF MUTUAL INTEREST No items were discussed. C.

Frost, City Treasurer By: Linda D. Daniels, Interim Administrative Services Director SUBJECT: APPROVAL TO ADOPT ANNUAL STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt the annual Statement of Investment Policy for the City of Rancho Cucamonga. BACKGROUND The City Council adopted a Statement of Investment Policy in July 1987. California Government Code, Section 53646, requires the City Treasurer to annually render a written Statement of Investment Policy to the City Council. Further, the City Council must consider the policy at a public meeting. Any changes to the investment policy must also be considered by the City Council at a public meeting. Senate Bills 564 and 866 went into effect January 1, 1996. Provisions of these bills are set forth under sections entitled "Permitted Investments/Deposits-Repurchase Agreements (Repos)" and "Reporting" which affect the local level have been included on the attached Statement of Investment Policy. Staff has always maintained an investment policy even more conservative than that allowed under state law. As a result the City has not experienced investment difficulties such as those in Orange County. The attached policy removes investment instruments that could be deemed "risky." The policy has been thoroughly reviewed by the City Treasurer and staff. Respectfully submitted, JF/LDD/pm attachment STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA PURPOSE This statement is intended to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of the City's temporary idle cash, and outline the policies for maximizing the efficiency of the City's cash management system. The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City while protecting its pooled cash. OBJECTIVE The City of Rancho Cucamonga operates its temporary pooled idle cash investment under the Prudent Man Rule (Civil Code Section 2261, et. seq.).* This affords the City a broad spectrum of investment opportunities as long as the investment is deemed prudent and is allowable under current legislation of the State of California (Government Code Section 53600, et. seq.) and other legal restrictions as the City may impose from time to time. INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS - Security purchases and holdings should be maintained within statutory limits imposed by the Government Code. City policy has been to limit investments more stringently than allowed under state law. Criteria for selecting investments and the order of priority are: Safety - The safety and risk associated with an investment refers to the potential loss of principal, interest, or combination thereof. The City only operates in those investments that are considered very safe. , Liquidity - This refers to the ability to "cash in" at any moment in time with minimal chance of losing some portion of principal or interest. Liquidity is an important investment quality especially when the need for unexpected funds occasionally OCCtlrS. Yield - Yield is the potential dollar earnings an investment can provide, and is sometimes described as the rate of retum. Yield should become a consideration only after the basic requirements of safety and liquidity have been met. Diversification - The purpose of diversifying is to reduce the overall portfolio risks while attaining an average market rate of return; therefore, it needs to be conceptualized in terms of maturity, instrument types and issuer. The portfolio should consist of a mix of various types of securities, issuers, and maturities. Statement of Investment Policy Page 2 Safekeeping - Securities purchased from brokers/dealers shall be held in third party custodian/safekeeping by the trust department of our local bank or other designated third party trust, in the City's control, whenever possible. The City strives to maintain the level of investment of all funds as near 100% as possible, through daily and projected cash flow determinations. Idle cash management and investment transactions are the responsibility of the City Treasurer and/or his appointed designee. PERMITTED INVESTMENTS/DEPOSITS PERCENTAGES MAXIMUM MATURITY Securities of the U.S. Government, or its agencies Certificates of Deposit (or Time Deposits) (placed with commercial banks andor savings and loan companies) Negotiable Certificates of Deposits Banker's Acceptances Commercial Paper Local Agency Investment Fund (State Pool) Demand Deposits Passbook Savings Account Demand Deposits Repurchase Agreements (Repos) Unlimited 5 years** Unlimited 5 years** 30% 5 years** 40% 270 days 30% 180 days 20 MM*** n/a n/a 20% 1 year The market value of the securities that underlay the repurchase agreement must be yahted at 102% or greater of the fimds borrowed against the securities and the value must be adjusted no less than quarterly. REPORTING Pursuant to Section 53464 (b) of the Government Code, the Treasurer is required to render a quarterly report to the City Council and City Manager, containing detailed information on all securities, investments, and moneys of the City. The report must be submitted within 30 days following the end of the quarter covered by the report. This report shall include the following: The type of investment, name of the issuer, date of maturity, par and dollar amount invested on all securities. The weighted average maturity of the investments. Statement of Investment Policy Page 3 Any funds, investments, or programs including loans that are under the management of contracted parties. The current market value and source of the valuation. A description of the compliance with the Statement of Investment Policy. A statement stating the City's ability to meet its pool's expenditure requirements for the next six months or provide an explanation as to why sufficient money shall, or may not be available. The City Treasurer shall report whatever additional information or data may be required by City Council. The City Council may elect to require the report to be made monthly instead of quarterly. If the City has placed all of its investments in LAIF or FDIC insured accounts in a bank or savings and loan, in a county investment pool or any combination of these investments, the City Treasurer may supply the most recent statements received from these institutions in lieu of the specific investment information required in the quarterly report. The City Treasurer shall be responsible for reviewing and modifying investment guidelines as conditions warrant and is required to submit same for re-approval to the City Council on an annual basis. However, the City Treasurer may, at any time, further restrict the items approved for purchase as deemed appropriate. The basic premise underlying the City's investment philosophy is, and will continue to be, to ensure that money is always safe and available when needed. * The Prudent Man Rule states in essence, that "investing...property for the benefit of another, a trustee shall arercise thejudgement and care, under the circumstances then prevailing, which men of prudence, discretion, and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs..." * *Maximum term unless expressly authorized by Governing Body and within the prescribed time ./?ame for said approval. * **Lim it set by L.A.I.F.

Bill Makshanoff, Building Official, presented the staff report. Vice Chairman McNiel questioned the interpretation of "substantial." Mr. Makshanoff stated that he had discussed this item with the City Attorney's office. He felt that the term "substantial," meaning a considerable amount, was somewhat ambiguous and subjective. He defined "substantial" as being the majority of a yard visible from the public right of way. Vice Chairman McNiel asked if this code amendment was enforceable. Mr. Makshanoff responded that the City Attorney had indicated in the affirmative. Commissioner Lumpp asked for a clarification by saying that putting in landscaping is not so much the issue, but rather maintaining what is already there so that it doesn't cause deterioration in the neighborhood and devalue property. Mr. Makshanoff concurred. He further stated that the problem has been that the code has not required landscaping to begin with so that as long as a homeowner did not let it go to weeds, they would be in compliance. Commissioner Melcher said that a homeowner doesn't have to landscape his yard, but if he does landscape it, he has to maintain it under current code. Chairman Barker opened the public hearing. Hyman Gibson, 6830 Mango Street, Rancho Cucamonga, stated that he represents a group of neighbors who had been speaking to the City on behalf of this ordinance for the last six months. He went on to say that this group has been trying to encourage people to at least do something to their land to maintain property values in the neighborhood. He indicated that one of the neighbors in their area has a tendency not to care for their property and that the group of neighbors he was representing had gotten together and offered their help, which was refused. He further stated that when they turned to the City, they were told there was nothing that could be done. Mr. Gibson and the neighbors he represents feel that the proposed amendment would help them to help the neighbors and perhaps "poke" them into compliance. He further stated that the City of Rancho Cucamonga makes a real effort to make the main streets look nice and his group would like the same effort at the neighborhood level. Commissioner Melcher asked if Mr. Gibson's group had worked with the City on the wording of the ordinance. Mr. Gibson responded affirmatively and said that the group he represents had petitioned and talked to other neighbors regarding their concerns. Chairman Barker closed the public hearing. Planning Commission Minutes -4- June 26,1996/_~ DRAFT- FOR DISCUSSION ONLY Commissioner Melcher stated that this was particularly interesting to him due to the fact that a fellow employee was interested in the proposed amendment. He went on to say that she and her husband live next door to one of the situations that this ordinance is designed to combat. He disclosed that he had taken the liberty of having her look over the amendment and believes this is a step in the right direction. Commissioner Melcher stated that he will support the amendment. Commissioner Lumpp asked if he had a front yard full of green weeds, would he be in "substantial" compliance with the landscaping requirement? Ralph Hanson, Deputy City Attorney, responded that tonight's amendment would set a minimum standard to begin discussion with neighbors and Code Enforcement. He went on to say that the City is not looking for a law to put people in jail and that if it ever came to court it would be a difficult matter. He indicated that it would be used in extreme situations and would be controlled by very detailed and elaborate facts. Mr. Hanson disclosed that those issues of a "substantial" nature would be addressed on a case-by-case basis and to do anything other than that would be to create an impossible bureaucracy. He concluded by saying that it would just become an annoyance for everyone. Commissioner McNiel felt that this issue was what the California initiative process was designed for. He supported the amendment. Motion: Moved by McNiel, seconded by Lumpp, to adopt the resolution recommending approval of Development Code Amendment 96-03.

Aug. 19, the Monday between the Republican and Democratic national conven- tions is a time to put parti- sanship and rivalry aside and to focus on consensus. Daily Breeze SUNDAY July ]4, ]996 OpiHiOH OUR VIEWS Delegation has to pull together SCAG meeting holds promise In life. timing is everything. The Southern California Association of Governments is hoping this principle applies to politics itself. SCAG, which is made up of local elected officials from Los Angeles, Orange, Venturn. Imperial, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, is planning what it hopes is the fLrst of many congressional leadership conferences for the often-fractured Southern California delegation. The idea is simple enough: Bring the 30 members of the delegation together under one roof and get them to put aside partisanship for the sake of unifying around key issues and projects that benefit the region. The timing of the summit in downtown Los Angeles is rather ironic: Aug. 19, the eye of the political whirlwind between the Democratic and Republican national con- ventions. But maybe, just maybe, the timing will prove to be what makes the meeting successful. Perhaps it will serve as a sanctuary, a safe house of reason amid furious partisan AT ISSUE: warfare. How can dissension SCAG officials, among them Torrance Councilman among the region's George Nakano, point out Congress members that disunity in the delega- be reduced? tion in past years has result- ed in California losing key scientific projects, such as the superconducting supercollider and a national earth- quake center. These federal projects went to states with more aggressive, unified delegations. SCAG proposes that the delegation commit itself to several efforts that will bolster the region's economic health. These are: · Reauthorization of the intermodal Surface Transpor- tation Efficiency Act, which will shape future transpor- tation projects designed to improve air quality and re- duce congestion. · Continued funding of the Alameda Corridor, which will fuel the region's international trade business into the next century. · Standing fLrm against the dosing of military instal- lations in the region. That's essential, considering the number of hits Southern California bases have taken in the 1990s. · Working to assure that the economic benefits of the North American Free Trade Agreement are realized. SCAG's idea of identifying key issues that the delega- tion should pursue free of partisan bickering makes a lot of sense. A consensus, we believe, could also be reached in helping the region's aerospace industry take a bigger role in space exploration and space-based technologies. We urge all the Congress members in the coastal Los Angeles area -- Anthony Beilenson, Julian Dixon, Juani- ta Millender-McDonald, Maxine Waters, Jane Harman, Steve Horn and Henry Waxman -- to attend the SCAG conference next month. Just make sure you check your campaign buttons at the door. City Council Agenda August 7, 1996 ADDENDUM I. COUNCIL BUSINESS The following items have been requested by the City Council for discussion.
