"January 3, 1990
Mayor Stout and Members of the City Council:
It has come to the Board's attention that, contrary to the City Council's
discussion last May 3, the issue regarding the city and county division
of responsibilities for library services had not been determined and would
be discussed openly in public in the near future.
There has been no public discussion which the City Council had indicated
would occur regarding whose role it would be, the city or the county, to
provide future library services in Rancho Cucamonga.
City Council Minutes
January 3, 1990
Page 3
It is apparent that the County by default or by design are, in fact,
designing a regional library to meet their needs first and the needs of
the citizens of Rancho Cucamonga second.
We ask you again, as we did on May 3, 1989, "Is it the intention of the
city to permit the County of San Bernardino to operate the future library
in Central Park?"
Sincerely,
Jeffery W. Young
President
Friends of the Library
P.O. Box 1162, Alta Loma, California 91701"
Mayor Stout asked that this matter come back before the City Council at their
next meeting.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
G1. MINOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 89-22 - GEIVETT - An appeal of the Planning
Commission's decision to deny without prejudice a request for a carport addition
to an existing automotive repair at 8517 North Grove Avenue. APN 207-220-05.
(Continued from December 6, 1989) Staff report presented by Dan Coleman,
Principal Planner. (1002-08 DEV REV) (0701-01 APPEAL)
Mayor Stout asked what the City's legal options were.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated in order to grant the variance, the Council
has to make a finding that there is a special circumstance in reference to this
structure that makes it different from other property in the zone. He stated
that after talking with staff and reading the reports, he is not aware of any
facts that would formulate the basis for finding a variance valid and approving
this, but he further added that does not mean the applicant can't try to
convince the Council of this.
Mayor Stout asked for further clarification from staff on the Planning
Commission's intent on this and asked if there was a variance applied for.
Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council
was:
City Council Minutes
January 3, 1990
Page 13
Mr. Howard Geivett, owner of Lee Wise Garage, stated that in order for
them to build the carport they would have had to make a lot of costly
improvements, so he appealed to the Planning Commission. He stated his
partner had built the carport without his knowledge and without a building
permit.
Mayor Stout asked if there were two issues to consider tonight; 1) if the
improvements to the property are triggered by any type of development, and 2)
if this particular structure itself is within code.
Brad Buller, City Planner, stated those are the two issues.
Mayor Stout asked if on the second issue, can the carport be modified in order
to bring it in compliance with the setback.
Brad Buller, City Planner, stated it would have to be moved.
Mayor Stout asked if there was any discretion on the triggering point as to when
these additional improvements have to be made.
Brad Buller, City Planner, stated if a building permit is required, that
Ordinance 58 would require substantial public improvements, and that there is
no relaxation to the provisions of those conditions.
Mr. Geivett stated he cannot do anything with this other than what has
been done. He would like to have time to make the improvements, because
he could not make them all at once.
There being no further response, the public hearing was closed.
Councilman Buquet stated he felt what was being asked of Mr. Geivett was
disproportionate with what he is doing to improve his property. He felt the
Redevelopment Agency should be involved with some of these improvements. He
added he did not feel this was an enhancement to the property, and felt what was
being asked of Mr. Geivett was not fair.
Mayor Stout asked what the cost of this was.
Mr. Geivett stated $4,000.00.
Councilman Alexander stated he did not feel Mr. Geivett was trying to sneak
something by, but that a building permit should be issued. He stated he agreed
with what Councilman Buquet stated.
Councilwoman Brown brought up. the fact that this carport was not going to
enhance Mr. Geivett's business, but felt this was an unusual circumstance. She
stated she agreed with Mr. Geivett as far as the cost of the improvements.
Councilwoman Wright felt Ordinance 58 should be looked at. She felt Mr. Geivett
should comply with any standards that everyone else complies with. She stated
she felt he was in violation of City standards.

Mayor Stout stated he agreed with the City Council on their concerns comparing
the $4,000.00 to build the carport as opposed to the cost of the improvements.
He felt this was a conscious decision for Mr. Geivett to do this, and did not
have any sympathy for him. He felt the City Council should uphold the Planning
Commission's decision. Mayor Stout asked staff if the carport could be moved
to another location on the property.
Brad Buller, City Planner, pointed out on the map where it could possibly be
moved to.
Councilman Buquet stated he did agree that this could possibly be moved to the
south side of the property, and agreed with Mayor Stout that this was two
separate issues.
Councilman Alexander asked how long ago this was done.
Brad Buller, City Planner, stated it was two years ago that the City found this
illegal structure.
Dan Coleman, Principal Planner, stated it took one year just to get Mr. Geivett
to fill out the application for the carport.

Administrative Assistant. (1401-01 RECREATION)
Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council
was:
Mark Whitehead, 7050 Novara, stated he is concerned with the safety
aspect, but was also concerned with children having the opportunity to
ride a skateboard if they so desire to. He did not feel it was
skateboarding that was dangerous, but how the person riding the skateboard
handled it that could create a dangerous situation.
There being no further response, the public hearing was closed.
Councilman Buquet asked how this would affect City parks.
Duane Baker, Sr. Administrative Assistant, stated that unless it was posted now,
it would not affect them.
Councilman Buquet stated he felt skateboarders should be allowed to ride in an
area such as a basketball court; however, he did not feel they should be able
to ride in a crosswalk, that they should walk across the street. He felt this
should be removed from the Ordinance.
Councilwoman Brown asked why this was being considered.
Duane Baker, Sr. Administrative Assistant, stated it was because of a recent
fatal accident.
Mayor Stout added he was the person who had requested this because of the danger
involved. He felt children should be allowed to ride skateboards, but that the
City should set guidelines to help make it as safe as possible.
Councilwoman Wright felt safety for skateboard riding should be implemented by
the Sheriff's Department as is done with teaching bicycle safety.
Mayor Stout stated he felt this should also go in the Grapevine.
Councilwoman Brown asked if someone is riding their skateboard in the middle of
the street, can a Sheriff stop a child and advise them to get on the sidewalk.

the parents.
G7. EMINENT DOMAIN ACTION TO ACQUIRE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR THE 19TH STREET
WIDENING PROJECT BETWEEN ARCHIBALD AVENUE AND HAVEN AVENUE - Public Hearing of
protests regarding Eminent Domain action to acquire public right-of-way for the
19th Street Widening Project between Archibald Avenue and Haven Avenue at the
property located at 6729 Hermosa Avenue (APN 202-201-08), 10223 19th Street (APN
202-201-40), and a vacant lot on 19th Street (APN 202-201-72) for the
construction of street improvements across the frontage of said property. Staff
report presented by Mike Olivier, Sr. Civil Engineer. (1002-06 EM DOMAIN)
James Markman, City Attorney, stated there has been contact with the property
owner's attorney and Engineering staff stating that they have taken exception
with some of the 1911 Act processes and procedures and felt they cannot be
assessed under the 1911 Act for the improvements. He further added this is one
of the reasons why the property owners will not agree. He felt agreement would
be reached; however, it was before the Council tonight because agreement has not
been reached so far and it is to determine whether the rights-of-way are
necessary for the project.
Councilman Buquet asked where we were now.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated we are continuing negotiations, but that
we are at the point of condemnation at present.
Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public input. Addressing the City Council
were:
Mr. Suruki, 10223 19th Street, stated he wants the street to be widened,
but expressed his concerns about the condemnation of his property. He
stated he did not feel he should be charged for the improvements.
Mr. Suruki's son, expressed his concerns about his parents losing some of
their property.
City Council Minutes
January 3, 1990
Page 19
Councilman Buquet pointed out they are only talking about losing part of the
right-of-way.
Russ Maguire, City Engineer, stated whether these improvements go in or not, if
the Suruki's wanted to subdivide their property, they would lose part of the
acre because they would have to dedicate part of it.
Mayor Stout asked where their attorney was tonight.
Mr. Suruki stated he could not be here tonight.
Mr. Suruki's son felt this condemnation was a scare tactic.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated this is not a scare tactic, and that no one
is trying to intimidate anyone. He added they will continue to negotiate with
the property owners, but added they have been offered a fair deal.
Councilwoman Wright stated Mr. Suruki should have known that he would have to
put in the infrastructure when he bought the property. She didn't want people
to think the City was the "bad guy" in this condemnation.
There being no further response, the public hearing was closed.

CITY MANAGER'S STAFF REPORTS
HI. REOUEST BY ALTA LOMA LITTLE LEAGUE TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL REGARDING
USE OF RED HILL PARK FOR THE 1990 SEASON (1404-05 PARK) (1401-03 SPORT ACT)
City Council Minutes
January 3, 1990
Page 21
Robert Hogue, 6146 Cabrillo Court, representative of Alta Loma Little
League, asked if there was a way to delay the refurbishing of Heritage
Park until July, 1990 instead of starting in April, so the Little League
could play their games at Heritage, the Softball Association could use the
fields at Red Hill, and the Soccer Association could use the two fields
which are to be completed in September, 1990.
Russ Maguire, City Engineer, explained why they need to do this in April instead
of waiting until July stating that it is because of the grass getting
established before the intense heat of summer.
Councilman Buquet stated his concern was that the fields are not used for nine
months and that the three months they are used they have to be renovated at that
time.
Mr. Hogue stated he did not see a problem with the baseball fields, but
he did see a problem with the soccer fields.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated that Russ Maguire, City Engineer, had mentioned
as an alternative that Community Services and Engineering could put their heads
together to develop a compromise to assist all sports groups.
Councilwoman Brown stated she felt something could be worked out to use other
parks in the City, i.e., Victoria and Terra Vista to accommodate everyone.
Jack Lam, City Manager, added that Joe Schultz's, Community Services Manager,
plan accommodates the Little League, and the Adult Softball can also be
accommodated without displacing the team.
Pete Williams, 5723 Napa stated he has been involved in sports groups, and
expressed his concerns about the way the fields are being renovated.
Tony Hernandez, 10693 Monte Vista commended the City for the fields they
are providing. He felt everyone should consider the safety factor for the
kids going to and from their games.
There being no further response, the public input session was closed.
Councilman Buquet stated he is frustrated with the conflict in scheduling. He
stated he suggested at the Park & Recreation Commission meeting that there were
options in getting the fields renovated. He stated he felt something could be
done to accommodate everyone.
Councilman Alexander stated he felt what Russ Maguire, City Engineer, was trying
to do was probably going to be the best overall effort in the long run. He felt
the Council should go ahead and approve staff's recommendation, even though it
is going to inconvenience people. He stated he is concerned with the safety of
the children.
City Council Minutes
January 3, 1990
Page 22
Councilwoman Brown stated if the parks had been built properly to begin with,
the Council would not be having the discussion they are having now. She
recognized that it would be difficult for parents to get their kids to other
practice fields because some parents work, and that it is more convenient to put
them as close to their residence as possible. She applauded Russ Maguire, City
Engineer, for trying to do this right, but she agreed with Councilman Buquet as
far as the time frame they are planning on doing the renovation. She felt other
fields should be looked at in order to provide a different "window".
Councilwoman Wright stated she agreed with what Russ Maguire, City Engineer, was
recommending and that if we didn't do what he was suggesting, that we might be
jeopardizing the City's money; but on the other hand, she hated to see the
children without fields to play sports. She felt this should have been done
right to begin with, and felt the City should adjust their "window".
Mayor Stout suggested this be continued to January 17, 1990 in order for the
Council to hear from the AYSO. He also suggested that the renovation be delayed
for a year until Beryl Park is completed, but was afraid this would hurt the
litigation.
Russ Maguire, City Engineer, suggested that if they do postpone the renovation
that they do it for a long period of time.
Councilwoman Brown stated that if all sports groups were to get together for
discussion, she did not want to see the situation where they are all fighting
for Heritage and Red Hill Parks.
Councilwoman Wright stated she would like to get a report from Russ Maguire,
City Engineer, on adjusting the "window" and would like input from the sports
groups on his suggestion.
Scott Murphy, 8321 Vineyard #7, asked that representatives from all sports
groups be informed on what is happening before it comes to the City
Council.
Councilwoman Brown suggested that all the groups and staff meet and that
hopefully it could be worked out prior to the January 17 meeting so that it
would not have to come on the agenda before the City Council.
Councilman Buquet stated the soccer fields do need to be renovated, but that
the little league and softball fields do not need to be renovated.
Mr. Williams felt it could be worked out with AYSO.
Cecili Shaw stated she would like Mayor Stout and Councilwoman Brown
present at the meeting with everyone.
Joe Schultz stated he is meeting with AYSO Thursday night.
ACTION: Item to come back January 9, 1990 with a report and solution.

H2. REPORT ON OPEN SPACE STUDY OF FLOATING PARK DESIGNATIONS-PRIORITY (43)
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PARK ACOUISITION (Continued from October 18, 1989) Staff
report presented by Joe Schultz, Community Services Manager. (1404-05 PARK)
Councilwoman Brown asked for clarification on the Landscape Maintenance District
(LMD) cost per unit.
Joe Schultz, Community Services Manager, referred to his staff report for the
information, with Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, giving further explanation
on this.
Councilwoman Wright expressed concerns regarding residents in Section B getting
a park, and would it affect the total LMD 1 residents.
Mayor Stout felt the system needed to be flexible to reflect opportunity and
ability.
Councilwoman Brown felt a report needed to be worked up on subzones. She also
felt information needed to be gathered on the LMD in the Caryn tract so as to
not scare the people away.
Chuck Hayes, President of the Caryn Homeowner's Association, suggested
that a couple members of the City Council and Community Services join them
at their meeting on January 13.
Mayor Stout and Councilwoman Brown volunteered to attend.
A lady from the audience expressed her wishes for Caryn to get a park.
ACTION: Further information to come back regarding this at the February 21,

MOTION: Moved by Wright, seconded by Brown to approve the recommended
appointments of Amodt, Glass and Curatalo. Motion carried unanimously, 5-0.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated that at the last break he was made aware of
further information to help clarify the sports groups problems. He stated that
Alta Loma Little League was always going to, and has accepted going to, Red
Hill, regardless of what Bob Hogue said. By doing that the City would tear up
Heritage Park and the soccer folks would not be affected, which meant the Little
League folks would be accommodated at Red Hill. He stated the problem was the
Adult Softball people got disrupted. He said everything was all right until the
Adult Softball folks said there needed to be an alternative so they wouldn't
have to be fragmented. He stated the Park & Recreation Commission told staff
to find an alternative to fit them in. He stated the alternative they came up
with was instead of tearing up Heritage Park all at once, staff decided to break
it up in half, the Little League could still stay there and wouldn't be
affected. The adults would be scheduled all on those fields and wouldn't be
disrupted, but since the adults can drive, they can drive up to Heritage Park,
and the sports groups could all be accommodated. He stated that was what the
agreement was. He stated the only the reason the Little League put the item on
City Council Minutes
January 3, 1990
Page 25
the agenda was because they feared the adult team would ask to do something that
they wouldn't want to do. And since staff came up with this alternative which
they thought everyone agreed to, everyone still wanted to come in case one said
something different from what they all agreed to. He stated as he is told by
a couple of the sports people, is that they needed the proposal written up in
such a way they could understand it. He stated they didn't understand it. He
stated he was told in the hallway, that if the soccer folks did not want to use
Heritage, then it would open up another "window of opportunity" that might have
been better. He said they would have agreed to go to Red Hill provided that
they had the same understanding they had before this thing came up. He stated
that under the alternative that staff had, Alta Loma Little League would not
have been disrupted, they had already accepted going to Red Hill this year -
that is what they meant earlier in the meeting by breeching the agreement. They
wanted to make sure no one kicked them off of Red Hill. He stated the soccer
was never going to be affected, and the only ones going to be affected were the
adults, which staff had come up with a suggestion for the adults, but they would
have to go between Red Hill and the one field at Heritage. He stated if this
could be described properly, they would all be for it.
Councilman Buquet said this is contrary to what Mr. Hogue said tonight.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated they would get together tomorrow, and they would
work things out to make everyone happy.
Mayor Stout stated that staff should get this in writing.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated he would do this.
