City Council Agenda -5- August 20, 1980 0 5. CITY MANAGER'S STAFF REPORTS. A. A COMPLAINT REGARDING VISUAL ENTRIPRISES CABLE T.V. 104 The City received a complaint from Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Hogoboom regarding service provided by Visual Enterprises Cable T.V. The Hogobooms wish to address the Council re- garding their complaint against Visual Enterprises' activities in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. B. SISTER CITY INVOLVEMENT. At the last City Council 123 meeting, the Council requested additional information re- garding the level of involvement and future costs if a sister city program is started in our community. Many communities budget no public funds for sister city involve- ment while others determine the level of financial support at the time the annual budget is considered. There are a number of sister city organizations to assist in developing programs. However, the most worthwhile appears to be the Sister City International program. The cost to the City for joining that organization is $250 for annual dues and an additional sum of $125 for a service fee. The initial service fee is deducted from the first year's • annual assessment once a sister city program has been officially established. The service fee entitles the City to consulting services, a news letter, various types of handbooks, and other media materials which aid in the conduct of the program. In addition, individuals, service organizations, or corporate entities may also join the association. The fees range from $15 to as high as $250 for that special category of membership. In summary, it is difficult to specifically determine the cost for involvement in any type of sister city'•s program. If the Council wishes to participate in an official's exchange pro. gram financed by the City, the cost would be sustantial since transportation and lodging to New Zealand would be quite ex- pensive. Many communities avoid the city budget expense by either raising funds separately or by providing that any travel in connection with the sister city program is strictly at the expense of the participant. One additional expenditure which would impact the city budget minimally is for conference attendance at the sister city international conference. Another consideration of the City Council is the amount of staff commitment which may be required for the program. Past ex- perience in other communities has indicated that the staff time is minimal since the organization generally operates in much the same way as a service club. It is important, however, that the city staff and Council be involved in a liaison fashion in order to enhance the communication between the organization and the city. City Council Agenda -6- August 20, 1980 f. A sister city program can be extremely beneficial to the City of Rancho Cucamonga, particularly in improving the international relations between communities. It is extremely important, how- ever, that the City Council take care in selecting a sister city. In many instances language difficulties or extremely remote sister city locations result in a waning interest in con- tinuing the program after the first few years. C. FINANCIAL TASK FORCE. Report by Jack Lam. 126 At its meeting of August 6, the City Council received a request from the Planning Commission to create a Financial Task Force to study the alternatives available for financinn public improvements. Staff will present a report detailing recommendations for Task Force Committee objectives, schedule of work, membership, role of consultants, staff participation, and scope of study. D.

W I T N E S S E T H: A. RECITALS: The Parties desire to provide for the CITY to perform particular maintenance functions on the State highway within the CITY as provided in Section 130 of the Streets and Highways Code. B. AGREEMENT: This Agreement shall supersede any previous AGREEMENT FOR MAINTENANCE OF STATE HIGHS.'AYS IN THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA and /or AMENDMENTS thereto with the CITY. In consideration of the mutual covenants and promises herein contained, it is agreed: The CITY will perform such maintenance work as is specifically • delegated to it, on the State highway routes or portions hereof all as hereinafter described under Sections I and J hereof or as said sections may be subsequently modified with the consent of the parties hereto acting by and through their authorized representative. C. MAINTENANCE DEFINED: Maintenance is defined in Section 27 of the Streets and Highways Code as follows: Sec. 27. "(a) The preservation and keeping of rights of way, and each type of roadway, structure, safety convenience or device, planting, illumination equipment and other facility, in the safe and usable condition to which it has been improved or constructed, but does not include reconstruction, or other improvement. "(b) operation of special safety conveniences and devices, and illuminating equipment. "(c) The special or emergency maintenance or repair necessitated by accidents or by storms or other weather conditions, slides, settlements or other unusual or unexpected damage to a roadway, structure or facility." • ;�J Page 2 of 19 DEGREE OF MAINTENANCE: .The degree or extent of maintenance work to be performed and the standards therefore shall be in accordance with the provisions of Section 27 of the Streets and Highways Code and the provisions of this Agreement as hereinafter specified or as may be prescribed from time to time by the District Director. "District Director ", as used herein, means the District Director of the Department of Transportation assigned to the territory in which the CITY is located, or his authorized representative. A guide to the proper degree of maintenance in specified programs is set forth in the current edition of the State Maintenance Manual, a copy of which has been provided to the CITY. The level of service of maintenance in each of the programs delegated to the CITY has been considered in setting authorized total and route dollar amounts. The CITY may perform additional work if desired by the STATE but the STATE will not reimburse the CITY for any work in excess of authorized dollars. The District Director may authorize adjustments needed because of inflation or changes in program emphasis. E. LEGAL RELATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES: Nothing in the provisions of this Agreement is intended to create duties or obligations to or rights in third parties not parties to •this contract or affect the legal liability of either party to the contract by imposing any standard of care respecting the maintenance of State highways different from the standard of care imposed by law. • It is understood and agreed that neither STATE, nor any officer or employee thereof is responsible for any damage or liability occurring by reason of anything done or omitted to be done by the CITY under or in connection with any work, authority or jurisdiction delegated to the CITY under this Agreement for Maintenance. It is also understood and agreed that, pursuant to Government Code Section 895.4, CITY shall defend and fully indemnify and hold STATE harmless for any damage or liability occurring by reason of anything done or omitted to be done by CITY under or in connection with any work authority or jurisdiction delegated to CITY under this Agreement. MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS: Certain maintenance functions may be delegated to the CITY as indicated under Section J of this Agreement. The CITY shall not perform any of these maintenance functions unless specifically delegated under said Section J, DELEGATION OF MAINTENANCE. The various maintenance functions or duties are defined and described by the following programs. The numbers without prefix relate to the Maintenance Management System (MMS) Program and the numbers with the prefix HM relate to Caltrans budgetary codes. �4 Page 3 of 19 *01 and *02 - FLEXIBLE AND RIGID ROAD MAINTENANCE PROGRAM HM -11 HM -12 This covers the maintenance required for the restoration and repair of both the surface and base within the roadbed area. Roadbed means all surface and subsurface structures of the traveled way, parking banks and shoulders. *03 - ROADSIDE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM HM -21 Roadside shall be described as that area between the roadbed and the outer highway right of way boundary line. Maintenance of roadside includes the cleaning of culverts, ditches, natural water channels and gutters, restoring side slopes, removal of drifted material, drift prevention, erosion control work, and maintenance of walls, cribs or bank protection facilities, curbs and sidewalks, and other roadside facilities. Maintenance work to be performed within the area designated as roadside maintenance shall include such sidewalk and curb inspection and action toward repair of sidewalks, curbs and other facilities as is necessary to keep them in a reasonably safe condition. Joint inspection should be on a biannual basis. The STATE will not pay for maintenance of any sidewalks. The CITY shall follow the same policy and procedures generally followed by it with respect to CITY streets in the matter of requiring sidewalk repairs and control of vegetation to be made by or at the expense of abutting owners who are under legal obligation to perform such work. It is agreed that reasonable • diligence will be exercised by the CITY in performance of required sidewalk repair and control of vegetation as outlined in this portion of the Agreement. *04 - ROADWAY LITTER AND DEBRIS PROGRAM HM -23 This program includes all work concerning roadbed and roadside cleanup operations to insure that the highway presents a neat, clean and attractive appearance. Sweeping and cleaning shall be limited to the removal of dirt or litter normally coming onto the roadbed from the action of traffic or from natural causes. STATE will not undertake nor pay for picking up or disposing of rubbish or debris swept into or otherwise placed on the highway from abutting property. The extent of sweeping and cleaning on the State highways shall not be greater than customarily done on comparable CITY streets. The sweeping activities covered in this program pertain to the sweeping of paved medians, curbed CITY street sections and curbed or rolled gutter types on other highways. • as Page 4 of 19 *05 - VEGETATION CONTROL PROGRAM HM -23 • Vegetation control refers to the maintenance treatment of all vegetative material growing native within the non - landscaped highway right of way. Included is treatment by chemical means and cutting and trimming by hand and mechanical means. Vegetation includes brush control and tree trimming. Routine tree maintenance shall include care necessary to maintain trees in a healthy growing condition. Tree trimming shall be limited to the occasional removal of dead or low overhanging limbs. Extensive tree reconditioning work, spraying or removal are not routine maintenance operations and will not be paid for unless such work is specifically authorized by the STATE. The above, when delegated to the CITY, shall not be construed as restricting, prohibiting or otherwise relieving the CITY of the responsibilities for inspection and upkeep of trees in a manner that will insure maximum safety to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The STATE will not pay for maintenance of landscaping or trees which the CITY planted or which were planted under authorization of an encroachment permit and the CITY is responsible for maintenance. *06 - PAVEMENT DELINEATION PROGRAM HM -41 The pavement delineation program involves all work necessary to maintain distinctive roadway markings on the traveled way. This •includes, but not limited to layout, removal, cleaning and /or replacement of existing delineation and roadway markings. • All work shall conform to the Standards established by the STATE. Except for the red "NO Parking" zones at the approach to and exit from intersections controlled by traffic signals, the STATE will not pay curb painting or parking lines as may otherwise be required for the regulation of parking. The cost of maintaining pedestrian crosswalks at intersections shall be shared between the STATE and CITY in the same ratio as the number of intersecting roads or streets under jurisdiction of the respective agencies bears to the total number of intersecting CITY street, STATE highways and COUNTY roads within the particular intersections; for example, a 50 -50 basis will apply to the regular cross street intersection wherein a COUNTY road is not a factor (City only). State reserves the opt4cn :n check at random all the pavement delination program maintained .1 the CITY to assure conformance to the pavement delineation maintenance levels. Failure of the CITY to comply to the pavement delineation maintenance levels should be reason to terminate this agreement as specified under Section L, TERMS OF AGREEMENT. Page S of 19 "07 - SIGN PROGRAM HM -42 The sign program includes all maintenance work performed on signs • placed or to be placed, on STATE highways for the purpose of warning, or regulating traffic. The work consists of replacement of existing signs and the repair, cleaning and painting of these signs. Upgrading of existing signs or installation of new signs is not a part of this program. All signs shall conform to the specifications adopted by the STATE, or as otherwise specifically authorized by the STATE. Positioning of such signs shall conform to standards adopted by the STATE. Unless specifically authorized, the STATE will not maintain or pay for maintenance of regulatory signs installed for the purpose of stopping vehicular traffic at pedestrian or school crossings nor the regulatory signs installed for the prohibition or the regulation of parking. '08 - ELECTRICAL PROGRAM - NOT DELEGATED HM -43 This program includes all STATE operation and maintenance work performed on highway electrical facilities used to control flashing beacons, traffic signals and traffic signal systems, and safety lighting. STATE will not pay for the maintenance, installation, repair, • servicing, nor power for ordinary street lighting; however, lighting at intersections, which qualifies as safety lighting under warrants approved /accepted by the STATE, will be paid for when approved and specifically authorized by the District Director. Where such lighting has been specifically authorized at an intersection, the maintenance and operating costs thereof shall be shared between the STATE and the CITi on a prorata basis in the same ratio as the number of legs in the intersection under each jurisdiction bears to the total number of legs. The CITY will furnish service for or perform such maintenance work as specifically delegated to it in other sections of this Agreement, and the STATE will furnish service for or perform the work not other- wise assigned to the CITY. It is agreed that estimated monthly rates, applicable to the intersection involved, shall be established for the operation and maintenance of the traffic signals and other electrically operated traffic control devices based on a cost per unit. This rate shall include overhead and other in0. -ect •zxpenses incurred by the STATE in these specific operaticns. It is further agreed that the estimated monthly rates shall be revised or adjusted as of June 30 each year. • o�/ Page 6 of 19 The cost of operating and maintaining traffic signals or other electrically operated traffic control devices now in place at the •intersection of any STATE highway route and any CITY street /road identified in Exhibit "A" shall be shared between the STATE and the CITY on a prorata basis in the same ratio as the number of legs in the intersection under each jurisdiction bears to the total number of legs. The same principle of cost distribution shall apply to freeway interchanges. The participation ratio shall be based on the ratio of the number of legs of the respective agencies to the total number of legs of the interchange. The percentage of costs to be borne by the STATE and CITY shall be shown on Exhibit "A ". The STATE will submit bills for operation and routine maintenance as defined above semiannually on December 31 and June 30 of each year. Bills shall be in accordance with that shown on Exhibit "A ". Extraordinary expense, such as for repair or replacement of extensive damage, shall be assessed directly against the particular installation involved. Billings for such costs shall be itemized as to materials, including service and expense, salaries and wages, and equipment rental. • • o!

Box 670 / LOW4. CA W86/ / 71A 8650771 August 19, 1980 The Honorable Philip Schlosser and Members of the City Council City of Rancho Cucamonga 9320 Base Line Road Post Office Box 807 Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91701 Reference: Council Agenda Item August 20, 1980 Gentlemen: This letter concerns a matter which we submitted for your August 20 agenda. It was omitted from the printed agenda, apparently due to the absence of the deputy city clerk, but we are told it will be added. We apologize for not getting this letter to you sooner. Like other landowners in Rancho Cucamonga, we have long awaited the lifting of the moratorium and the opportunity to start building in Rancho Cucamonga. We wish to submit some tract maps and site plans on a small portion of our Terra Vista property during the August filing period. There is some honest confusion as to how the Council would feel about this. We, of course, would like to move ahead. Jack Lam has told us that he thinks our doing so would be contrary to the Council's wishes. He feels bound to recommend disapproval of any map we submit, because he believes that is the intent of the Council. We are not sure that really is the Council's feeling. Since this is very important to us, we ask you please to provide some guidance. We wish to submit maps on the portion of our property that is west of Deer Creek. This is a triangular parcel of approximately 100 acres bounded by Haven on the west, Deer Creek on the east, and the Southern Pacific railroad tracks on the north, with Base Line running through the center of it. The densities and uses we propose are, we believe, consistent with the proposed General Plan and with our proposed Planned Community. The Honorable Philip Schlosser and Members of the City Council August 19, 1980 Page 2 We would have preferred to have our entire Planned Community completed and approved by now, but that has not occurred. One reason is that we have modified our plan over time in response to staff input and the General Plan process, as well as changes in the housing market and changes in buyer preferences. City input has sometimes been confusing, as on the question of how Foothill Boulevard should be planned. Some officials tell us they envision Foothill as a true downtown boulevard, with the type of major commercial establishments that will draw people from other communities and bring in sales tax revenue. Some other officials and staff members say we should plan Foothill as a suburban street resembling Foothill Boulevard in La Verne- -that is, a mixture of multifamily projects and small local shopping centers, which would not - have a downtown character and would not capture any sales tax from outside the immediate neighborhood. It is difficult to plan such an important part of Terra Vista with two conflicting sets of direction. Aside from that, planning a project of this magnitude is just very complex. For instance, so far as we know, the city has not yet been able to decide exactly where the civic center complex should be. Apparently, it is not a simple decision. If you multiply that decision - making process many times over, you can appreciate the difficulty we have faced in planning a community that will be built over the next 10 or 15 years. Any direction the City Council would care to offer on these two questions - the character of Foothill Boulevard and the location of the civic center - would be appreciated. The point is that the delays in completing our plan have not been entirely within our control. The Planned Community will be completed in conceptual form very soon, though, and we plan to present it to city officials in early or mid- September. In the meantime, it is imperative that we get started building. It was 1976 when we originally acquired and began planning Terra Vista. The City of Rancho Cucamonga we incorporated the following year, redirecting our planning. In the three years since, we have not been permitted to develop any of our property. To date we have paid out, in cash, close to $4,000,000 to carry and plan this land. This is actual cash out of our pocket, and that figure does not include any salaries paid to our own staff or any overhead charges. The burden of carrying the property in the face of the moratorium forced us this year to obtain a land loan so that we would not have to give up the project. Between that loan and our original purchase obligations, we will have to pay out $2,000,000 in cash during the coming 12 months just to meet our obligations on the land. That is equivalent to more than $160,000 a month or more than $Sr300 a day. Again, these are actual cash payments due on the property, with no income from the property to offset them. If you add to that our accruals toward deferred principal payments that will begin next year, the cost to us for the coming year in land carry alone is over $4,300,000. That is over $360,000 each month and nearly $12,000 per day. The Honorable Philip Schlosser and Members of the City Council August 19, 1980 Page 3 Those figures would be sobering to a company twice our size. We would not have obtained a large land loan at very high interest rates if there bad been any alternative. Selling the property outright was an available option, but not an acceptable one in view of our feelings about this project. We want to see Terra Vista became a reality and we intend to make it happen. But the property is a serious cash drain on our company as long as it sits undeveloped. It is such an enormous financial burden that we might have to reexamine the viability of the entire project if we are not allowed to start building now. That would be a great loss, not only to our company but to the city as well. Carrying the property is our problem, and we do not regret our investment, but the prospect of further delay without compelling reason is very disturbing. Among other things, we know that small delays can mushroom into big delays. A month's delay imposed by a city, for whatever reason, can be just long enough for interest rates to rise, or money to dry up, or construction wages to jump, or unions to go on strike. Too many things can happen that will set a project back by many months and eliminate any return on the developer's investment. We have been patient for three years. Those with less at stake can be patient now if they wish. We need to move ahead. In planning the Terra Vista property, we have always had difficulty integrating the land in this "triangle" west of Deer Creek with the rest of the project. The main reason is that this parcel is physically separated from the rest of the project by the planned Deer Creek flood control channel, which will be developed within a 120 —foot right of way. A physical barrier like this makes automobile and pedestrian access very difficult. People can easily walk across a street, even a major highway, but not across a concrete lined rectangular channel. The greenbelt, schools, community facilities, and other features of our Planned Community cannot bridge this channel. Because of the channel, this triangle cannot be fully integrated with the rest of the Planned Community. Also, this part of the property differs from the rest in that it is surrounded by existing development. There are homes to the north and homes and mobile homes all along the western boundary, on the west side of Haven. In planning this area, we must be sensitive to the existing residences and try to make our projects compatible with them. This prevents our building some of the innovative types of housing that we plan to build in the interior of Terra Vista. While we intend to build here to the same general design standards and using the same themes as in the balance of the project, this triangle is not the place for very high density uses or future housing types, because of the existing development surrounding it. It also cannot incorporate all of the land use features of the project as a whole because of the physical separation. We will therefore build to more conventional development standards within this area while at the same time introducing the concepts that will distinguish Terra Vista. The honorable Philip Schlosser and Members of the City Council August 19, 1980 f—p Page 4 �' . / � ;+2 ty . Cji•/ This triangle is an area of transition from the existing part of town to the new planned communities. It is worth noting that, north of Terra Vista, the area west of Deer Creek is not included in Victoria either. Both planned communities proper begin at Deer Creek and go eastward. The area west of Deer Creek cannot be fully included in then because of the existing development in and around it and because of the barrier of the channel. From our company's point of view, the area around haven and Base Line is a very important entrance to our Planned Community. For that reason, we want it to reflect the style and themes of the entire development and we also want it to be especially attractive. The landscaping, street treatments, and architectural styles will be up to the standard of Terra Vista as a whole. The physical Improvements will also be sized with the entire project in mind. Open space and recreational amenities will be included within this triangle just as in the rest of Terra Vista. however, this area most also act as a buffer connecting the old and new parts of the city. Its design therefore is somewhat predetermined. For these reasons we see no really valid reason to postpone building here until the rest of the Planned Community is approved, while this area should not clash with the rest of the project, nevertheless it simply cannot be fully integrated with it. The land uses here really have very little to do with the land uses at the other end of the project. We see no way that our getting started here in any way hurts the balance of the Planned Community. More to the point, we just cannot afford to hold up building here until the entire Planned Community is approved. After this month, we would have no opportunity to submit projects again until December. That four month delay would mean over $650,000 out of our pocket for land payments alone, with no offsetting revenue coming in, and would in our view accomplish nothing. what we would propose to build in this area in December would be the same land uses we propose now. Wbatever modifications the city might request in December can just as well be requested now. Nothing is gained by a four month delay, and our company would lobe a great deal. Besides the direct costs of carrying the property, our competitors who are being permitted to file this month would gain a substantial advantage over us. We are not afraid of competition, but there is something unfair When everyone is allowed to compete except our company. School letters and sewer letters will be allocated first to those who file during August. Thos who F lc during December will go to the end of the line. koLall wog k.,ow_ the staff. will be so busy during December that the city will decide to skip the December filing completely. To-'ar6i[rarily delay us until December in effect penalizes our company for attempting to provide a Planned Community that will enhance the entire city. Others who did not undertake any special planning efforts are not being asked to wait. The Honorable Philip Schlosser and Members of the City Council August 19, 1980 Page 5 We are not the only ones hurt by unnecessary delays. Homebuyers and the city also suffer. With every month of delay, inflation pushes costs higher and financing charges mount up. We hope to provide some affordable housing both within this triangle and within Terra Vista as a whole, but every month of delay makes it more and more difficult. Once maps are filed, many months of processing still lie ahead before a developer can break ground. To add on another four months before that long process can even start merely raises housing costs for no good reason. The industries that want to locate in the city require housing that their employees can afford. They need some evidence that the housing will be there and that the city will not push housing prices sky -high. Industries may begin to look elsewhere if the city unnecessariry hinders affordable housing rather than enc pt— it Submitting these projects does not mean that we are not proceeding with the Planned Community. We are working as rapidly as possible to complete it. Our work has been complicated and delayed by the general planning process but we expect completion in conceptual form very soon and a presentation to the city in September. A concern has been expressed to see how what we propose in this triangle will fit in with the rest of Terra Vista. We are meeting that concern. Before any discretionary review of these maps takes place, we will have alreadv presented our plan and demonstrated how the entire project fits together. But because-an August 31 deadline for maps has been imposed, we most submit the maps first and make the presentation shortly afterward. We do not believe the city has any legal authority to prevent us, or any developer, from submitting "maps this., month'_ if "the' -map's meet city requirements. We are _also not sure the city has authority to unilaterally disapprove our submissions "solely on the grounds that we— are trying to create a Planned Community, I£ we wanted to start a tract in the center of the project, an objection would make more sense. Starting in this one area which is separated from the rest, though, is a different matter. We would rather not get into legal discussions, which is why we have gone to such lengths in this letter to try to explain our point of view. We are not trying to subvert the planning process. We are simply trying to work within it in a way that will not bankrupt our company. Our Planned Community right now is somewhat'anal ogn us to the city's General Plan. Both have taken longer thpu originally planned. The General Plan at this point is a araff�at has not been cumpleted, much less reviewed or brought to public hearings. Even though the General Plan is not finished, builders are being allowed to file maps. Staff members have said that they intend to recommend approval of projects if they are consistent with the General Plan draft, which will not be completed until early September at best, after I,ullders' maps have already been filed. Similarly, our Planned Community will not have been through any public hearings in September The Honorable Philip Schlosser and Members of the City Council August 19, 1980 Page 6 but it will be complete in conceptual fo m at least, with the balance to follow shortly thereafter. By the time any action is taken on the projects we submit in August, the Planned Community will have been completed and submitted. In other words, we are not putting the cart before the horse any more than the city itself is doing. With all of this in mind, we ask the Council to clarify its position. We hope the Council agrees that we should be able to proceed with these projects in advance of the rest of Terra Vista. It is of vital importance to our company. Thank you for giving this your consideration. Very truly lours, Kay Matlock Project Manager KM:gk:2082b cc: Lauren M. Wasse man Sack Lam Page 8 of 19 *08 - ELECTRICAL PROGRAM - DELEGATED HM -43 • This program includes all maintenance work performed on highway electrical facilities used to control flashing beacons, traffic signals and traffic signal systems, provide safety and sign lighting. STATE will not pay for the maintenance, installation, repair, servicing, nor power for ordinary street lighting; however, lighting at intersections, which qualifies as safety lighting under warrants approved /accepted by the STATE, will be paid for when approved and specifically authorized by the District Director. Where such lighting has been specifically authorized at an intersection, the maintenance and operating costs thereof shall be shared between the STATE and the CITY on a prorata basis in the same ratio as the number of legs in the intersection under each jurisdiction bears to the total number of legs. The cost of maintaining and operating traffic signals or other electrically operated traffic control devices now in place or those which may hereafter be installed at the intersection of any STATE highway route and any CITY street /road shall be shared between the STATE and the CITY on a prorata basis in the same ratio as the number of legs in the intersection under each jurisdiction bears to the total number of legs. The same principle of cost distribution shall apply to freeway interchanges. The participation ratio shall be based on the ratio of the number of legs of the respective agencies to the total number of legs of the interchange. • Timing of traffic signals shall be the responsibility of the STATE. Timing shall be determined after consultation with the local agency; however, the decision of the District Director of Transportation shall be final. Maintenance of th? "designed" timing is the responsibility of the CITY. Timing records shall be kept in both the STATE and CITY maintenance and traffic branches. NOTE: Cost of electrical energy charges will be charged separately_ EMERGENCY OPERATION OF TRAFFIC SIGNALS DURING EQUIPMENT FAILURE A written "Contingency Plan" for operation of traffic signals should be prepared for emergency operation of each signalized intersection. Copies of the plan shall be kept in the controller cabinet and in the Maintenance and Traffic Branches of STATE and CITY. The plan shall detail the method of restoring a malfunctioning traffic signal to service as follows: (1) Place the signals in the flashing mode of operation. (2) Replace defective units. (3) If direct replacement of defective units cannot be made immediately, place the signals under control of an emergency • replacement controller. 3� Page 9 of 19 C. Flashing operation shall be considered as the "primary emergency mode of operation at all intersections ". The plan shall specify the color each phase will display during flashing operation. Red/ Yellow or all red may be used. • d. The plan shall specify the timing of each interval of an emergency replacement controller. e. The "Contingency Plan" for an intersection may be changed at any time to meet changing conditions following the procedure above. f. Documentation of the engineering reasons for selecting a particular plan for a specific location shall be kept on file in the STATE and CITY Branches. The goal shall be to provide the safest emergency mode of operation. The same plan may be applicable for a large number of intersections. Every effort shall be made to restore the operation of the intersection to normal operation as soon as possible. STANDARDS FOR DELEGATED ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE The level, of maintenance work to be performed on highway electrical facilities is listed below. These levels become the "DEGREE OF MAINTENANCE" specified or prescribed under Section D of this Agreement. Damaged or malfunctioning electrical installations which seriously affect public safety or capital investment should be promptly repaired or temporary corrections made until permanent repairs • can be scheduled. Repair of inoperative or damaged electrical installations which do not seriously affect public safety should be coordinated with routine maintenance operations. A routine surveillance of electrical facilities shall be made in an effort to observe and correct potential deficiences before serious problems develop. To insure a minimum standard of operation, highway lighting, sign illumination, and flashing beacons shall be routinely inspected during hours of darkness. Important illuminated signs, require prompt attention on notification of a blackout or extensive burnout. Signals A detailed check for prcper operation, including inspection and necessary replacement of auxiliary equipment such as relays, contractors, etc., shall be made at intervals of approximately 30 (thirty) days. Fixed -time electro- mechanical controllers shall be overhauled . approximately once a year. 31 Page 10 of 19 Traffic - actuated, electro- mechanical controller units shall be overhauled in the shop approximately once every year. • Traffic signal lamps shall be group replaced on a planned schedule based on rated lamp life. All signal maintenance inspections or repairs shall be logged and records maintained in the control cabinet. Signal standards and control cabinets shall be maintained in a presentable manner. Flashing Beacons Flashing beacons shall be routinely inspected for proper operation approximately once every 6 (six) months. Electro- mechanical flasher mechanisms shall be removed, cleaned and adjusted and excessively worn parts replaced, approximately once a year. Flashing beacons shall be relamped on the same schedule as outlined above for traffic signal lamps. Highway Lighting and Sign Illumination Luminaires and fixtures for illuminated signs shall be inspected and cleaned in conjunction with scheduled relamping; more • frequent cleaning should be performed when required. Lamps shall be replaced on a planned schedule based on the rate life of the lamps currently in use. The STATE reserves the option to check at random all traffic signals maintained by the CITY on STATE highways to assure conformance to the electrical maintenance levels. Failure of the CITY to comply to the electrical maintenance levels would be reason to terminate this Agreement as specified under Section L, TERMS OF AGREEMENT. 9 Redelegation of traffic signal maintenance to third parties shall be done only upon specific written approval of the District Director Of Transportation. Such redelegated work shall be performed to the same levels of service as spelled out herein and will be subject to the same random checks as provided for work performed directly by CITY forces. If the District Director of Transportation determines the third party is failing to comply with the specified levels, the CITY shall, within 30 days of notice, terminate the third party agreement and resume mainterance by CITY forces or terminate this Agreement as specified under Section L, TERMS OF AGREEMENT. 3� Page 11 of 19 '09 - TRAFFIC SAFETY DEVICES PROGRAM HM -44 Work performed under this program includes replacement of guide • posts or markers; and the repair, replacement, cleaning and /or paintaing of guardrails. Also included are the repair of median barrier cable, chain link fence, and Portland cement concrete walls; the repair and maintenance of energy dissipators such as water -type bumpers, sand traps or other devices installed for the purpose of absorbing vehicle energy. Energy dissipators (crash cushions) must be repaired within 48 hours after being hit. The CITY shall maintain sufficient inventory of the necessary parts approved by the STATE needed to accomplish the repairs within this time limit. Sand, used to fill certain types of energy dissipators, shall meet STATE requirements.

Work includes watering, pruning, fertilizing, plant replacement, weed control by hand and mechanical means, tree trimming and /or removal, chipping and miscellaneous work such as pest control and inhibitor spray. Repairs to the electric portion of automatic controls is covered in this 12 - LANDSCAPE PROGRAM. NOTE: There are several activities that are duplicated in the 05 - VEGETATION CONTROL PROGRAM; for this reason, care should be • exercised when reporting, that the proper program is cited. The STATE will only pay for the maintenance of landscaped areas, ornamental plantings of trees installed by the STATE at STATE expense or other areas specifically designated by the District Director. •13 - BRIDGE AND PUMP MAINTENANCE PROGRAM HM -31 The Bridge and Pump Maintenance Program includes work performed on all structures which provide for passage of highway traffic over, through or under obstacles and /or qualify for bridge number as assigned by the State Office of Structures. Work under this program consists of structure repair, maintenance, painting and cleaning, electro- mechanical equipment and sump pump maintenance, repair or cleaning, and navigational light repair. Storm inspection of sump pumps is also included in this program. Bridges, as defined above, will be investigated by a representative of the State's bridge engineering staff once each year and more often, if considered necessary. In addition to such annual investigation, routine maintenance to be performed under provisions of the Agreement shall include monthly inspection of each bridge by qualified personnel and immeiiate repair of the minor defects when the cost does not exceed • $500. The District Director shall be immediately notified of major defects as are hereinafter defined. -71 J,� Page 12 of 19 Bridge repair work costing in excess of $500 on a single structure shall be considered as being a major repair project. Except in the •case of emergency, such major repair projects shall conform to the methods and procedure to be recommended by the STATE. Major bridge repair is not a routine maintenance operation and will require specific authorization. "15 - PERMITS HM -47 This section provides for the processing and enforcement of transportation permits by the CITY and preliminary engineering, processing and inspection of encroachment permits by the CITY where authorized to perform this work.

Box 793 Rancho Cucamonga, Ca. 91730 Re: Traffic Signal Maintenance Agreement Dear Mr. Hubbs: Please refer to Paragraph Eighth (c) of our Agreement wherein annual rate adjustments are provided for. In view of the continuing high rate of inflation, I must again ask to exercise that provision. • Enclosed for your convenience is a copy of the Consumer Price Index Report which indicates an increase of 18.18 for the twelve (12) month period ending May, 1980. I do not seek the full amount of that increase, however, I do ask con- sideration for a ten percent (108) adjustment to become effective on August 1, 1980. Applied to the current rate of $52.91,this adjustment is in the amount of $5.29 per month per intersection. Also, enclosed is a revised copy of the labor and equipment schedules for extraordinary maintenance which reflects a twelve percent (128) increase and is consistant with the rates for all contract customers. Please advise at your convenience if these adjustments are not acceptable. Thank you. Very truly yours, William C.

As you know from the Staff Report presented at that meeting, the Planning Commission had gone through many, many revisions on the proposed ordinance. We thought that the ordinance presented to the City Council, on August 6th, was the most recent revision. It was not. Staff has attached the latest revision to Ordinance No. 119 as adopted by the Planning Commission for your review and consideration. Additionally, we have attached the previous Council Staff Report included in the August 6, 1980, City Council packet. We appologize for the inconvenience.

Various discussions have ensued over the need, lack of, and purpose of Con- dominium Conversion Ordinance. A special committee of the Planning Commis- sion was set up to review the proposed Ordinance and suggest changes to make it acceptable to the Planning Commission. This committee met on Tuesday, June 3, 1980, and outlined the various changes to be made in the Ordinance. Attached please find a revised copy of the Condominium Conversion Ordinance. We have dashed out those items which the committee recommended for elimina- tion and inserted corrections where the committee desired. It should be noted that Section 6 has been amended to allow for 264 dwelling units to be converted in 1980. Additionally, a Section C has been added which will expire Section 6 -A within 5 years of the effective date of this Ordinance. We feel that with the changes recommended by the committee, the Ordinance should now be acceptable to the Planning Commission. RECOMMENDATION: If the Planning Commission concurs with the recommendations of the sub-comm jttee, then adoption of the attached Resolution is recommended.

We have also introduced HBO, the premium service channel. The addition of these extra channels to a twelve channel system has not been without problems but was worth the effort to provide the additional service to our customers. In January we will be adding WTBS CH 17 from Atlanta, The 24 hour news channel CNN, and C SPAN the live coverage of the House of Representatives from Washington. • The Acton Corp. has major interests in cable and has been in the business since 1956. We are well aware of the frustrations your city has gone thru with the previous tax shelter operation, and the current problem of having three operators in your area. I am available at your convenience to discuss any Cable Tv related matter. Sincerely Walter Gerber Regional Manager Ll KJ Page 1 of 3 .(.;•`,, ".' May 16, 1980 City of Rancho Cucamonga P.O. Box 807 1+ ( Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 ;. Attention: Mr. Harry Empey Dear Mr. Empey: , In response to your request for our comments with regard to the Visual dialogue which has taken place so far between the City and Enterprises, I offer the following: Referring to the first paragraph of Mr. Gerber's letter, there are two statements he made which I will direct my comments to. Mr. Gerber: 'Illy staff is organized in such a manner as to provide prompt response to complaints and supervisory personnel to handle complaints as to the lack of response." Comment: In my experience with Visual Enterprises, that is an • erroneous statement to indicate "prompt response." On April 14th I phoney in to have two HBO Boxes installed and the very next day, April 15th, the two Boxes were installed. However, one Box was left disconnected as the technicians could not get it to work. Yet they had me pay for full service on both boxes and left my mone with ;['123.10, assuring me that another technician Would be sent out as soon as possible. Because of the poor service I had in the past with Cable, I phoned in the complaint of the discon- nected Box myself on April 15th. From April 15th to April 25th were ten days of pure torture in dealing with Visual Enterprises. I made numerous calls to their office trying to get someone out to hook up the disconnected Box, rearranged my schedule and stayed home during those ten days (not even stepping out into my backyard j for fear of missing the soun;l of the door bell). No one showed or even phoned! Olio of my calls to Visual Enterprises, I was con- nected to Mr. Roger Standifer, to promised me he would be out the J next clay, April 18th. Ile never showed nor did I ever receive a phone call oxplaining why he didn't come. Anotherwords Mr. Empey, the only "nromnt response" I received from Visual Enterprises Was when Visual Lincerprises were going to receive money from their visit to my home when they installed HBO and in that instance they vrore here within 24 hours after I placed my phon order! Mr. Gerber'; second statement reads: "Any complaints not properly han•tlod by my staff will be handled by myself with a visit to the . • cuotomers home, if necessary." i Page 2 of j i Comment: Towards the end of my "ten day ordeal', to get Cable out here, I asked one of their clerks, Ann, to give me Mr. Gerber's phone number. I wanted to speak with him personally concerning the lack of service his company was Providing. she had no way of reaching him!!! I left aessagea for nMr.m Gerber t to phone me when he does get in touch with his Rialto office. After that statement from Ann, my husband composed a letter to Mr. Gerber and we mailed it to the only address we have which is where we send our monthly service payments. A copy of his letter was sent to the Better Business Bureau, Utilities Commission and I hand delivered a cony to you. To this day, we have never heard from Mr. Gerber, not even so much as an acknowledgment to our letter. Referring to the second paragraph of Mr. Gerber's letter, I offer the following: Comment: I find it rather interesting the only complaintant he makes reference to is a "fine tuning" problem of Mr. Steiger's set. Perhaps Mr. Staiger would have suspected it was his set that was the problem, if he had not been receiving such poor quality in reception in the vast from Cable ?! However, I can assure you that "fine tuning" was not my probolem. During the ten days of constant phone call- to 4:r. Cerbor's Rialto office, I told his clerk several • times that if I did not receive service soon from Visual Enterprises, I would be reporting my complaints to our City Hall, Better Business Bureau, and the Utilities Commission. These threats got me ZERO action from Visual �nterprises! I did not know at that time that the above mentioned agencies had little or no jurisdiction over Cable TV, ant so my calls for service were COMPLETELY IGNORED FOR TEN ;)AYS! Fi nally.., late in the afternoon of the tenth day, April 25th, I founi out that 'IF C" were the magic words to use when calling Visual Entorprises. On April 25th, I reported Visual Enterprises to the F(;C in Long Beach, At that time I received the name, address and phone number of Cynthia Jeffries, who is the person to contact in Washington D.C, and was also told to write the California State Attorney General's Consumer Protection Agency due to the money 'I had already paid to Visual Enterprises. Because of the expense Of a long distant call to Washington U.C., I phoned Visual Enter - prices one more time before making that call and I told Ann I was report t hours from usingthe the words" g words" Ihad Mr`s Roger hstandifer and another technician in my home hooking up the disconnected HBO Box. As far as I'm concerned, I could still be waiting for service if I had not used FCC as a threat to Mr. Gerber's Rialto office. I did not follow through my complaints to the FCC in Washington or the California Attorney General's office, however, if Visual Enter- prises fwV;k gives mo the "run around" again, I will not hesitate one rccon'l. In all my life? I was Dover treated with such deplorable • and Jlcguoting servlce as Visual h.n terprices extended to me before Ild I Page 3 of 3 i I mentioned FCC to them. They have been to my home a few times • since by their own choice to checkup on our reception, but that ,,..,.. still does not explain nor excuse why they refused to answer or responed to any of the numerous calls for service made to them during those ten days! We are still experiencing poor quality in reception. Verticle bars which appear to be embedded into the screen and horizontal snow bars are an everyday sight on both TV sets in our home. Mr. Gerber states we now have 15 channels to choose from for our viewing enjoyment. He neglects to mention that many times we only receive clear reception on two or three channels out of the 15 to choose from. i Thank you for the assistance your office has provided to me in this matter. If it will help, please feel free to send a copy of this letter to Mr. Gerber. It is obvious your office can get a response from him and it is just as obvious that his customers cannot get a response from him.

Cie realize Cable TV does not come under your juris- diction, however, an employee with the FCC in Long Beach, CA recom- mended that a complaint be filed with your Agency against our Cable TV Company due to the large sums of money that is envolved. The Cable TV Company I'm referring to is: Visual Enterprises P.O. Box 730 Rialto, CA 92376 (714) 983 -1535 which is a subsiduary of: ACTON CATV, Inc. Box 407 Acton, Mass. 01720 (617) 263 -1138 As a consumer of the State of California and because ACTON CATV, Inc. of Ia., J . are selling their so called "services" via Visual Enter- prices in this State and receiving a lot of money from California consumers in our area, we are seeking your help and investigation into both the above mentioned companies. .ie have to use cable out of necessity to receive reception, due to a mountain range near our home. Last Spring when Home Box Office (HBO), a movie channel, was added to our areas cable system, our nightmares began with this company. It is our understanding that just prior to the addition of HBO to our system, ACTON CATV in Acton, Eacs. purchase:; the cable company that previously serviced our area. (I have enclosed copies of all the correspondence we and our City have had with this company, informing them of our problems :into AC'Tu:: CATV took over). ':,hen we finally got a technician to cone to our home last month, he told me that ACTON CATV, Inc. have "fnmz':n all funds to purchase the equipment and materials necessary to rocair and maintain the cable system in our area and that the t ^chnician. are only being sent out to appease the subscribers." lie sail "the technician; are doing their best with make -shift attor..p,ts to make rer,airs, but much of the equipment should be re- rin.ced or cannot be repairod without now parts, which ACTON CATV //g) August 7, 1950 Comsumer Protection Agency Page 2 0 will not release funds to purchase. As a result, some of the tech- nicians are leaving this company." ''We have no tangible proof to substantiate the validity of this technicians statement, however, with the kind of service and treatment vie have been experiencing from them, it leads us to believe that it could be true.

Due to terri- torial 'ooundries cable companies operate by, we do net have the outicn of using a different cable company. Ne are stuck with this company and they know it! Tic have no idea how many subscribers they are receiving monthly service payments from in our area as that information isn't given out, but vie have been able to locate quite a few and we are all experiencing the exact same treeatment... poor viewing reception and practically non - existant response to our phone requests for service calls. Not all of the cable subscribers are on the }IBO service, however they still are having to put up with terrible service. ^hose of us who dial subscribe to the addition of HBO are out the additional expense for the purchase price of the HBo "receiving • box" which in our case totals a123.10. This sum covered the price of the 'boxes, installation and a month in advance service charge. Plan each month we pay a monthly service charge of $21.15. As of Auguct 6, 1950, vie notified Visual Enterrrise by phone to pull our account and make a note that we will not: be sending anymore monthly service payments until our problems have been corrected. The only reason we have not done this sooner is that we have an excellent credit record and vie didn't want a "bad mark" against it. Gentlemen, vie desperately need your help in this matter! Recently, another subscriber phoned in a service call to Visual Enterprises and she was told by the ansvi ^_ring service that the technician said, "Tell firs, White, She can go (blank) herself. I have no intention of making a service call." Only, he did not use the word "blank" but actually filled in the Only with the approrriat word. ::bite placed a long ::istant call to ACTON CATV in !lass. to r ^ port this technicians statement. She talked to a Nancy Gerhart, vino responded to her by saying "Gars. ':ihito, according to our recoras, you are the only subscriber vrho has been phoning in complaints to Visual 71rtcrcrises." ACTON CATV knows that this is not a true statement as they recently did a big shake up in p^_rsonnel at Visual iSntorprioes due to all the complaints they have had. This "shake up" had not improved the service. "hi., is just a :;ample of the abuse and emotional strain that vie 'nave• boon uxyvrioncing from Visual Enterprises and ACTON CATV, Inc.

If you would like our area, we will be glad to and with the approval from them April 24, 1980 Visual Enterprises /Cable TV P.O. Box 730 Rialto, CS 92376 Gentlemen: We are filing a written complaint to the City of Rancho Cucamonga, Better Business Bureau and the Public Utilities Commission against your company. Our written complaint will be a copy of this letter to you. We received your letter (copy enclosed) saying that HBO was available through your company for $9.95 per month and installation for $5.00 versus the regular $10 charge. However, when my wife called we were informed that we bad to purchase a "Box" for $50i. As a matter of fact, we had to purchase 2 "Boxes ", one for each of two TV sets. We believe that the purchase of a "Box" was a rather large oversight not to be mentioned in your letter, but decided to go ahead because we have no other choice of cable companies to choose from for our area. This was Monday, April 14, 1980. Your technician arrived Tuesday, April 15, 1980, to install the HBO on . both sets. They could not get the one in the bedroom to work so they left it disconnected and gave my wife a bill for the prepaid service for 2 sets for one month and 2 HBO boxes for a total of $123.10. Due to past experience with your company, my wife called to report the set not working with the HBO and the very poor reception we are receiving on all the channels above S. She was informed by the Secretary that she (the secretary) had no way of controlling the technician's schedule because they make out their own, but she would add our name to the list. My wife rearranged all her schedules for the next 2 days and nobody called or showed up at our home. She called again on Thursday and the same clerk answered with the standard phrase, "I'm only a clerk and I don't know ". My wife interrupted her and demanded to speak to someone over her. She was put on hold for a few seconds and a man named Roger came on the line. He said he was a supervisor. My wife went through the whole thing again. He promised her that he personally would be out the next day, Friday, April 18, 1980. He did not show up nor call. That was 3ti days she had to stay home and have nobody call or show up. April 24, 1980 Visual Enterprises /Cable TV ?age 2 It is now Thursday, April 24, 1980, and we still have not heard from your company or seen a technician. This makes the tenth day we have been paying for service charged for and not supplied as well as paying for a HBO box that was left disconnected and we still have very poor reception on all channels above 5.

Wasserman City Manager SUBJECT: Financial Task Force If the City Council wishes to create a Task Force to study the alternatives available for financing public improvements, the following policy issues should be evaluated: 1. PURPOSE OF THE COMMITTEE: To fully evaluate the alternatives available to the City and the private sector to aid in the financing of public facilities and public improvements. It is essential, however, that the City Council understand the difficulty in suggesting funding mechanisms without first considering the types of public facilities and public improvements which may be needed. Financing alternatives must be tailored to Rancho Cucamonga's specific needs. 2. SCHEDULE OF WORK: The City Council should determine a time schedule Tor wor of t e task force. While the staff has suggested that the work commence after the adoption of the General Plan, that is a policy issue which should be decided by the City Council. It is equally important that the Council set a maximum time limit for the task force report. It is our view that a three to four month study period would allow sufficient time to work with financial consultants, if necessary, and to permit thorough study by the task force, the city staff and the City Council. Month of September: Council appointment of Task Force members. Staff preparation of Request for Proposals from consultants. Month of October: Selection of consultants; award contract Month of November: .Work commences Month of January: Work completed �a4 Continued..... Re: Financial Task Force -2- August 14, 1980 . 3. MEMBERSHIP: It is suggested that the membership of the Task Force be as as possible, while providing for broad community parti- cipation. It is further suggested that the City Council personally appoint each of the members of the study group. This personal selection will, in our view, result in a stronger committee. One membership option for consideration of the Council is the following: A Task Force of nine members with one representative from each of the following: Financial Community (banks, savings and loans, etc.) City Council Planning Commission Chamber of Commerce Industrial Committee Building Industry Association Wm. Lyon Company (Planned Community) Lewis Homes, Inc. (Planned Community) Cucamonga County Water District Delegate at large representing Industrial interests. It is also suggested that the City Council emphasize the fact that • participation is not limited to Task Force members. All interested citizens, industrialists, and business representatives should be encouraged to attend Task Force meetings. 6 4. ROLE OF CONSULTANTS: The City Council should determine at an early stage the role of consultants (if any) in the study process. If consultants are employed, they should work through the city staff. If funds are collected from the private sector to finance work by a consultant, those funds should be disbursed by the City. The supervisory relationship will insure objectivity throughout the process. 5. STAFF PARTICIPATION: Because of the importance of the Task Force studies, it is recommended that the City Manager, Director of Community Development, City Engineer, and Finance Director serve as ex- officio members of the Financial Task Force. Staff involvement will be limited to an "as- needed" basis. The role of the staff should be to assist the Task Force by serving as a liaison between the consultants, the City Council, and the Task Force. This coordination should result in improved communication as the work progresses. ia-? Continued....... Re: Financial Task Force -3- August 14, 1980 6. BUDGETARY COMITMENT: No city funds have been appropriated for special • studies. However, the private sector has expressed some interest in participating in the hiring of consultants if needed. The city staff has also accumulated a considerable amount of information regarding financing alternatives now available to meet our Community's needs. 7. SCOPE OF STUDY: Council should determine the specific areas you wish to have studied. It is recommended that initially the analysis be limited to financing of public facilities and public improvements. The study should not, in our view, deal with policy issues such as park acreage requirements, or park dedication fees. The primary issues in our view are to determine funding alternatives for: LM11W /vz 1. Flood control facilities 2. Street and sidewalk construction 3. Bridge construction 4. Open space development including parks 5. Utility installation (water, gas, electric, cable television) 6. Other issues of specific concern to the City Council 05 • a CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA MEMORANDUM August 15, 1980 TO: City Council, City Manager FROM: Finance Director SUBJECT: Ordinance, Resolution Regarding Employer Paid PERS The paying of the employee contributions is part of the Council approved fringe benefit program for fiscal year 80-81.

U 917M/ 714 965Ml August 19, 1980 The Honorable Philip Schlosser and Members of the City Council City of Rancho Cucamonga 9320 Base Line Road Post Office Box 807 Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91701 Reference: Council Agenda Item August 20, 1980 Gentlemen: This letter concerns a matter which we submitted for your August 20 agenda. It was omitted from the printed agenda, apparently due to the absence of the deputy city clerk, but we are told it will be added. We apologize for not getting this letter to you sooner. Like other landowners in Rancho Cucamonga, we have long awaited the lifting of the moratorium and the opportunity to start building in Rancho Cucamonga. We wish to submit some tract maps and site plans on a small portion of our Terra Vista property during the August filing period. There is some honest confusion as to how the Council would feel about this. We, of course, would like to move ahead. Jack Lam has told us that he thinks our doing so would be contrary to the Council's wishes. tie feels bound to recommend disapproval of any map we submit, because he believes that is the intent of the Council. We are not sure that really is the Council's feeling. Since this is very important to us, we ask you please to provide some guidance. We wish to submit maps on the portion of our property that is wear of Deer Creek. This is a triangular parcel of approximately 100 acres bounded by Haven on the west, Deer Creek on the east, and the Southern Pacific railroad tracks on the north, with Base Line running through the center of it. The densities and uses we propose are, we believe, consistent with the proposed General Plan and with our proposed Planned Community. The Honorable Philip Schlosser and Members of the City Council August 19, 1980 Page 2 We would have preferred to have our entire Planned Community completed and approved by now, but that has not occurred. One reason is that we have modified our plan met time in response to staff input and the General Plan process, as well as changes in the housing market and changes in buyer preferences. City input has sometimes been confusing, as on the question of how Foothill Boulevard should be planned. Some - officials tell us they envision Foothill as a true downtown boulevard, with the type of major commercial establishments that will draw people from other communities and bring in salsa tax revenue. Some ocher officials and staff members say we should plan Foothill as a suburban street resembling Foothill Boulevard in la Verne - -that 1s, a mixture of multifamily projects and small local shopping centers, which would not have a downtown character and would not capture any sales tax from outside the immediate neighborhood. It is difficult to plan such an important part of Terra Vista with two conflicting sets of direction. Aside from that, planning a project of this magnitude is just very complex. For instance, so far as we know, the city has not yet been able to decide exactly where the civic center complex should be. Apparently, it is not a simple decision. If you multiply that decision - making process many times over, you can appreciate the difficulty we have faced in planning a community that will be built over the next 10 or 15 years. Any direction the City Council would care to offer on these two questions - the character of Foothill boulevard and .. the location of the civic center - would he appreciated. The point is that the delays in completing our plan have not been entirely within our control. The Planned Community will be completed in conceptual form very won, though, and we plan to present it to city officials in early or mid - September. ' In the meantime, it is imperative that we get started building. It was 1976 when we originally acquired and began planning Terra Vista. The City of Rancho Cucamonga was incorporated the following year, redirecting our planning. In the three years since, we have not been permitted to develop any of our property, To date we have paid out, in cash, close to $4,000,000 to carry and plan this land. This is actual . 1 cash out of our pocket, and that figure does not include any salaries paid to our own staff or any overhead charges. The burden of carrying ,r the property in the face of the moratorium forced us this year to obtain a land loan so that we would not have to give up the project. Between that loan and our original purchase obligations, we will have to pay out $2,000,000 in cash during the coming 12 months just to meet our obligations on the land. That 1s equivalent to more than $160,000 a month or more than $5 300 a day. Again, these are actual cash payments due on the property, with no income from the property to offset them. If you add to that our accruals toward deferred principal payments that will begin next year, the cost to us for the coming year in land carry alone is over $4,300,000, That is over $360,000 each month and nearly $12,000 per day. The Honorable Philip Schlosser and Members of the City Council August 19, 1980 Page 3 Those figures would be sobering to a company twice our size. We would not have obtained a large land loan at very high interest rates if there had been any alternative. Selling the property outright was an available option, but not an acceptable one in view of our feelings about this project. We want to see Terra Vista become a reality and we intend to make it happen. But the property is a serious cash drain on our company as long as it sits undeveloped. It is such an enormous financial burden that we might have to reexamine the viability of the entire project if we are not allowed to start building now. That would be a great loss, not only to our company but to the. city as well. Carrying the property is our problem, and we do not regret our investment, but the prospect of further delay without compelling reason is very disturbing. Among other things, we know that small delays can mushroom into big delays. A month's delay imposed by a city, for whatever reason, can be just long enough for interest rates to rise, or money to dry up, or construction wages to jump, or unions to go on strike. Ton many things can happen that will set a project back by many months and eliminate any return on the developer's investment. We have been patient for three years. Those with less at stake can be patient now if they wish. We need to move ahead. In planning the Terra Vista property, we have always had difficulty integrating the land in this "triangle" west of Deer Creek with the rest of the project. The main reason Is that this parcel is physically separated from the rest of the project by the planned Deer Creek flood control channel, which will be developed within a 120 -foot right of way. A physical barrier like this makes automobile and pedestrian access very difficult. People can easily walk across a street, even a major highway, but not across a concrete lined rectangular channel. The greenbelt, schools, community facilities, and other features of our Planned Community cannot bridge this channel. Because of the channel, this triangle cannot be fully integrated with the rest of the Planned Community. 7 Also, this part of the property differs from the rest in that it is o surrounded by existing development. There are homes to the north and limes and mobile homes all along the western boundary, on the west side of Haven. In planning this area, we must be sensitive to the existing residences and try to make our projects compatible with them. This prevents our building some of the innovative types of housing that we plan to build in the interior of Terra Vista. While we intend to build here to the same general design standards and using the same themes as in the balance of the project, this triangle is not the place for very high density uses or future housing types, because of the existing development surrounding it. It also cannot incorporate all of the land use features of the project as a whole because of the physical separation. We will therefore build to more conventional development standards Within this area while at the same time introducing the concepts that will distinguish Terra Vista. The Honorable Philip Schlosser and Members of the City Council August 19, 1980 Page This triangle is an area of transition from the existing part of town to the new planned communities. It is worth noting that, north of Terra Vista, the area west of Deer Creek is not included in Victoria either. Both planned communities proper begin at Deer Creek and go eastward. The area west of Deer Creek cannot be fully included in then because of the existing development in and around it and because of the barrier of the channel. From our company's point of view, the area around Haven and Base Line is a very important entrance to our Planned Community. For that reason, we want it to reflect the style and themes of the entire development and we also want it to be especially attractive. The landscaping, street treatments, and architectural styles will be up to the standard of Terra Vista as a whole. The physical improvements will also be sized with the entire project in mind. Open space and recreational amenities will be included within this triangle just as in the rest of Terra Vista. However, this area must also act as a buffer connecting the old and new parts of the city. Its design therefore is somewhat predetermined. For these reasons we see no really valid reason to postpone building here until the rest of the Planned Community is approved. While this area should not clash with the rest of the project, nevertheless it simply cannot be fully integrated with it. The land uses here really have very little to do with the land uses at the other end of the project. We see no way that our getting started here in any way hurts the balance of the Planned Community. More to the point,, we just cannot afford to hold up building here until the entire Planned Community is approved. After this month, we would have no opportunity to submit projects again until December. That four month delay would mean over $650,000 out of our pocket for land payments alone, with no offsetting revenue coming in, and would in our view accomplish nothing. What we would propose to build in this area in December would be the same land uses we propose now. Whatever modifications the city might request in December can just as well be requested now. Nothing is gained by a four month delay, and our company would lose a great deal. Besides the direct costs of carrying the property, our competitors who are being permitted to file this month would gain a substantial advantage over us. We are not afraid of competition, but there is something unfair when everyone is allowed to compete except our company. School letters and sewer letters will be allocated first to those who file during August. Thy y whm f++e during December will go to the end of the line. Fnl. all we know. the staff. will be so bus during December that the city will decide to skip the December filing completely Flo arSY rar y delay us until December in effect penalizes our company for attempting to provide a Planned Community that will enhance the entire city. Others who did not undertake any special planning efforts are not being asked to wait. The Honorable Philip Schlosser and Members of the City Council August 19, 1980 Page 5 We are not the only ones hurt by unnecessary delays. Homebuyers and the city also suffer. With every month of delay, inflation pushes costs higher and financing charges mount up. We hope to provide some f affordable housing both within this triangle and within Terra Vista as a �¢. whole, but every month of delay makes it more and more difficult. Once maps are filed, many months of processing still lie ahead before a developer can break ground. To add on another four months before that long process can even start merely raises housing costs for no good reason. The industries that want to locate in the city require housing that their employees can afford. They need some evidence that the housing will be there and that the city will not push housing prices sky –high. Ind tries may begin to look elsewhere if the _cit�- ii _Unnecessaril bmder s ffordable housing rather than encouraging it. Submitting these projects does not mean that we are not proceeding with the Planned Community. We are working as rapidly as possible to complete it. Our work has been complicated and delayed by the general planning process but we expect completion in conceptual form very soon and a presentation to the city in September. A concern has been expressed to see how what we propose in this triangle will fit in with the rest of Terra Vista. We are meeting that concern. Before any discretionary review of these maps takes place, we will have already presented our plan and demonstrated how the entire project fits together. But because-an August 31 deadline for maps has been imposed, we must submit the maps first and make the presentation shortly afterward. We do not believe the city has any legal authority to prevent us, or any developer, from submitting maps this month if the maps me @t City requirements. We are also not sure the city has authority to unilaterally disapprove our submissions solely on the grounds that we are trying to create a Planned Community. If we wanted to start a tract in the center of the project, an objection would make more sense. Starting in this one area which is separated from the rest, though, is a different matter. We would rather not get into legal discussions, which is why we have gone to such lengths in this letter to try to explain our point of view. We are not trying to subvert the planning process. We are. simply trying to work within it in a may that will not bankrupt our company, Our Planned Community right now is somewha analogous to the city's _ General Plan. Both have taken longer th originally planned. The General Plan at this point is a staff p at has not been completed, much less reviewed or brought to public hearings. Even though the General Plan is not finished, builders are being allowed to file maps. Staff members have said that they intend to recommend approval of projects if they are consistent with the General Plan draft, which will not be completed until early September at beat, after builders' maps have already been filed, Similarly, our Planned Community will not have been through any public hearings in September The Honorable Philip Schlosser and Members of the City Council August 19, 1980 Page 6 but it will be complete in conceptual form at least, with the balance to follow shortly thereafter. By the time any action is taken on the projects we submit in August, the Planned Community will have been completed and submitted. In other words, we are not putting the cart before the horse any more than the city itself is doing. With all of this in mind, we ask the Council to clarify its position. We hope the Council agrees that we should be able to proceed with these projects in advance of the rest of Terra Vista. It is of vital importance to our company. Thank you for giving this your consideration. Very truly yours, CIS Ij` /i 'i� Kay Matlock Project Manager KM:gk:2082b cc: Lauren M. Wasserman Jack Lam CITY COUNCIL MINTUES Regular Meeting 1.

He said staff was aware of the problems and was looking into the matter. Council concurred that this item should be brought back for approval after the problems had been corrected. Item g: Agreement for Maintenance of State Highways in the City: It is recommended that Council approve the agreement to allow the City to obtain reimbursement for street sweeping and weed abatement performed by the City on Foothill Boulevard and Haven Avenue.

Councilman Mikels had requested the item be removed. He asked which account would be used for the reimbursement and how long would it take? He expressed that this should come before Council for approval at that time. Paul Rouveau said this would probably come to Council through the budget process. Sam Crowe pointed out that, as with any change in an agreement, before any expenditure Of funds is made, Council has to be notified and approval given. No Action was taken by Council. Page 4 Item h: Councilman Mikels requested the item to be removed. He wanted to know when the last increase had been granted. Mr. Rougeau said it was a year ago. Mikels stated that he did not feel the amount was out of line; he simply wanted to know how long ago the last increase had been granted. Motion: Moved by Mikels, seconded by Palombo to approve the rate increase of 10 and 12 percent for traffic signal maintenance for the Fiscal Year 1980 -81, Motion carried 5 -0. 4.

Motion: Moved by Mikels, seconded by Palombo to waive further reading. Motion carried 5 -0. Mayor Schlosser opened the meeting for public hearing. There being no response, the hearing was closed. Mikels questioned Section 3 of the ordinance. He said that the owner of the property probably would not know of the default in payment until he was sued. Sam Crowe said this was so. He presented some of the legal problems and said that this was the easiest way to handle this problem. Mikels also questioned Section 5. He said the Council had changed the word month to week at the last meeting and was so reflected in the minutes. Mikels also questioned Article II, Section 6 of the franchise. In paragraph two he wanted added the words "of one year." Council discussed this for some time. There was some confusion regarding the five year period. Mr. Crowe explained that there would always be a five year agreement for amoritizing purposes. Council concurred in not adding the additional wording, "of one year" at the end of paragraph two. Frost pointed out that there was a typing error in Section 4 of the ordinance. The word "change" should be "charge." There being no further discussion, Mayor closed the public hearing. Motion: Moved by Palombo, seconded by Bridge to adopt Ordinance No. 117. Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: Frost, Mikels, Palombo, Bridge, and Schlosser. NOES: None. ABSENT: None. 4B.
