ORK PROGRAM - FEBRUARY 28 1991 PLANNING COMMISSION`WORRSHO?
Each year about this time; the Commission and staff hold a workshop ti,
discuss the status of our work program. It''s time to reflect on the`'
accomplishments (many) and shortcomings (some) of the past year, and to
look with anticipation and foresight into the 'future.' It's also a time to
build teamwork, and to discuss things, we don't find time to talk; about
f
during regular meetings.
In this regard, this workshop will ps no different. However, there are
some tough challenges which lie aha The fiscal realities will demand
that we manage our resources even' -,sore effectively, and it will be
absolutely necessary to focus these limited resources on areas which are
truly important.
The attached packet.of information contains background information. on the
work program. As in previous years, it is color coded by section under.
CURRENT PLANNING, ADVANCE' PLANNING, and CODE ENFORCEMENT. However, it 3,6'
not our intention to spend a lot of time on the work program items.
Rather, we'd like to take advantage of the informa';ional workshop to talk
about the planning process and those elements of thG process the
Commission considers most important. With a good understanding of the
Commission's priorities, staff can then reevaluate its own role in various
aspects of the planning program, with an eye toward improving t'ie overall'
efficiency of the way we do business.
We'll look forward to seeing all of you on the 28th. Meanwhile, if you
have any questione or suggestions, please give Brad or me a call.

CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 14, 1991
TO: All �mployees
FRONT: Jack Lam, AICP, City .Mana -r
SUBJECT: ECONOMIC CGNDYIPION3
DViring the ! cond fiscal year quarter, I reported to you what the City -
would initiallf do to address the worsening i?eeonomic conditions, including
th6 State and County's revenue "shift and sh' ift" actions.
We have just begun to review and analyzs the results of the first two
quarters (mid- year) of the fiscal year and are' looking at results of our c ^st l
cutting campaign as it relates to the revenue, picture for the next year. I
must report that both General Fund and Capital Fund revenues continue to
drop dramatically. The prognosis is not encouraging. As a result, we must
Benin looking for much more aggressive approaches to cut costs.
The development industry, esrfcally residential, has had no signs of
improvement. This has significant implications fof development- related
services, both in the General Fund as well as Capital areas. Further,
because the City is "last in the feeding chaia," the State's fiscal crisis
becomes an unwelconte element in our budget equation. Also, at a time
when the City is scaling back on maintenance and operation costs, utility
and other costs are going up dramatically. Our current economic downturn
oiffers from V%,: last in that its magnitude is greater and is much more
difficult to ride gut. Further, any future recovery will, in all likelihood, be
much more gradual, especiaily given the tight lending policies of lending
institutions; the direct result of the S & L crisis,
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
February 14, 1991
Page 2
t'
You have probably heard of or read about the fiscal plight of other
cities
during this recession. Most cities will be dipping into reser ,es
this year
and strategizing what to do next fiscal year 'to address any
continued
shortfalls in revenue. Our City is in no different position.
This quarter, each Department Head-, will be - studying this
situation
carefully and have been asked7'to prepare contingency plane, to consider all
options. We know, that next fib -.al year will be* more difficult.
We will
consider all possible avenues to preserve our service programs
first and
foremost.

CODE ENFORCEMENT
WORK PROGRAM STATUS
FISCAL YEAR 1990 - 1991
The Code Enforcement program has continued to progress as planned. The Code
Enforcement. Technician position has become an essential part of tine support
system. Current staffing has ,allowed consistent coverage of the City as
divided into three manageable geographic,_areas Citizen requests and follow-
up inspections are handled within minimuM-, time periods. _
Activities continued to be primarily the result of citizen complaints. The
11 number of requests per month averaged 125 to 1:50. Citizen complaints cover a
i wide range of problems; however, the majority of the calls relate to Property
Maintenance, Vehicle Parking, and Recreational Vehicle Storage within
residential areas.
The use of nuisance abatement and vehicle abatement has - Increased our ability
to correct violations. These administrative proceedures ensure results within,;y
a reduced time frame when compared to court action. The continued drvelopment'
of City ordinances, like these, is essential to the effectiveness of the Code
Enforcement program.
An effort was made again this year to identify common problems within older
community areas, such as'Northtown and Southwest Cucamonga. Personal contacts
with property owners and residents were directed at improving conditions
through the voluntary cooperation of the community. When successful, other
target areas will be identified for similar programs.
The future development of the Code Enforcement ,program will continue to focus
on providing service to the community. Field. personnel will spend more of
their time in the field, with enhanced office support services 1 d
communications providing an even higher level of coordination. The amount of;.
work that can be generated to maintain and improve the physical environment of
the community is considerable. The ability of Code Enforcement to meet the'-,-
demand for such services is limited only by the manpower available. Staff
will continue to respond to the r� .,,,fists received primarily, while working
toward identifying community problem:, and more general solutions. A positive,
proactive approach to euforcemLvA is the goal which is necessary to meet the
long range community needs. This can only be accomplished by moving beyond
solving immediate problems and developing a plan of action, including adequate
staff and resources to identify and r
_ y address �e.a p oblems found through the City.
