SUMMARY AND CITY COUNCIL BENEFITS
Council Member Alexander explained the reason he pulled Item N10 from the Consent Calendar. As previously,
he will not vote in favor of the Resolution as it applies to high paying level employees in the City at a time when
volunteers are let go, and people at the lowest level of employment in the City are taking home less money than
seven years ago.

believed he voted in opposition previously. City Manager Gillison confirmed Council Member Alexander voted in
opposition to the Fire Protection District and voted in favor of the City salary schedules.
Council Member Alexander advised he will abstain from this Item for the record as he had difficulty with
administrative salaries.

R. COUNCIL BUSINESS
R1. Discussion of residential monthly parking permit fee for the Metrolink station.
Fred Lyn, Utilities Division Manager, accompanied by Tiffany Cooper, Management Analyst II (Engineering
Services Department) referred to a PowerPoint illustrating a table representing the financial analysis of what the
residential monthly parking permit fee reduction would look like, a response to Council's interest to lower parking
permit fees for residents.
Mayor Pro Tern Spagnolo asked for clarification about funds use for security cameras at the lot.
Manager Lyn said that funds for Capital Improvements for the lots comes from LMD38 while operations and
maintenance covers landscape, security and general maintenance, noting separate funding sources.
John Gillison, City Manager stated funds from parking were anticipated to offset approximately 50% of the costs
of operating the station allowing costs to be shared rather than solely dependent on LIVID funding. He said that
fortunately 100% of the costs of maintaining station operations will be available for use for capital improvements.
Thus, Staff's recommendation to reduce fees for residents from $25 to $20.
Council Member Williams asked when the new fees would take effect, to which Manager Lyn replied that per
direction, new fees would be addressed in January 2016 with the update of the comprehensive fee schedule to
be effective March 2016.
Council Member Alexander expressed his concern about lowering fees which could later impact policing and lot
expansion He felt fees might have to be raised again and asked about the procedure should the fees need to be
raised.
City Manager Gillison responded that the procedure is the same as this procedure for lowering the fees for parking
lot use. He stated fees are reviewed regularly, and on recommendation, are raised or lowered.
Council Member Kennedy inquired if lowering fees could result in increased ridership and use of the lot. Manager
Lyn concurred that it is a possibility.
Council Member Williams discussed the report showing use of the lot by out of town ridership. City Manager
Gillison said that it could continue to be a steady increase with resident use.
Mayor Michael noted the City lowers fees when possible taking into consideration actual costs, revenue, or other
streams of funding that can offset fees to benefit customers.
MOTION: Moved by Mayor Pro Tern Spagnolo, seconded by Council Member Kennedy, to reduce the current
Metrolink monthly permit parking fee for Rancho Cucamonga residents with changes to be made at the City's next
fee schedule update proposed in January 2016. Motion carried 5-0.
R2. Consideration of the City Council Community Services Subcommittee's recommendation regarding an

Services Subcommittee. He noted that at the previous City Council meeting, Peter Villegas was appointed to fill

Mayor Pro Tern Spagnolo acknowledged that Commission Vice-Chair Pat Morris was undecided whether she
would request re-appointment for a third term on the Commission, and has since indicated that she will not request
re-appointment. He said that as the Subcommittee, he and Mayor Michael based their decision on the number of
