The meeting was called to order at 7:11 p.m. by Mayor William J. Alexander.

William J. Alexander.

Cucamonga Police Department; and Debra J. Adams, City Clerk.
B. ANNOUNCEMENTS/PRESENTATIONS
B1. Larry Temple, Administrative Services Director, stated he was before the Council to kick off a
community campaign called the "Affinity Credit Card". He stated the City and the San Bernardino County
Central Credit Union (SBCCCU) have entered into a partnership which will issue a credit card to members of
the community. He added that letters have gone out offering the credit card starting next Monday. He stated
they hoped the community would be interested in this offer and use the credit card, and that the proceeds from
it would go to the City Library which will help fund resources and materials for members of the community. He
stated Gina Eaves, from SBCCCU, and Deborah Clark, Library Manager, were also present and would be
presenting the City Council and City Manager with their own personal credit cards. He continued by stating that
the initial distribution that went out on Monday to the consumers in Rancho Cucamonga was approximately
7,000, and that they hoped to enter into a future campaign with the Board of Directors of the Library and the
Chamber of Commerce to increase the membership of the cards so that there will be more proceeds
generated for the library.
Councilmember Williams asked what was the breakdown of the numbers and asked what would they get for
doing this.
Gina Eaves, SBCCCU, stated on a credit card issued, there are two sources of income - one of them
is the interest income if there is a balance outstanding from month-to-month, the other source is when
the card is used there is an income that flows through the merchant who is taking that card for the
purchase and that is called interchange income. She stated that is where they are doing the revenue
shadng. She stated they would be revenue sharing with the City through a year-to-year agreement that
was entered into with the City in April. She added as the card is used the City will get a portion of that

revenue and the Credit Union will get a portion of it. She stated they had estimated the potential to probably
be around $6,000 in the first calendar year which will go to the City to go towards its Library. She stated in
addilion to this, they are also inviting the community of Rancho Cucamonga to have the card by paying the City
$1.00 for every card application that comes through the Credit Union.
ITEM 13 WAS DISCUSSED AT THIS TIME, BUT THE MINUTES WILL REMAIN IN AGENDA ORDER.
C. COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC
Cl.
Gary Kenddck congratulated the winners of the City Council election and congratulated Debra Adams
and Jim Frost on their re-election. He also thanked Debra Adams for her assistance through the
campaign process. He stated he felt the utility tax should go on the ballot by either fiat removal of it
or a guaranteed phased out plan. He stated he realizes what Prop 218 will do for the City now that it
is approved by a mandate of the voters. He felt the City Council should "leash in' the Fire Department
a little bit because they reflect this City. He asked for Councilmembers Gutierrez and Biane to bring
the utility tax issue up atthe next meeting so it can voted on by the Council to either phase it out in three
to five years or a fiat removal of it.
C2.
Marlin Forden stated his son's vehicle had been towed and stored, but that he did not agree with this
action. He commented on his conversation with the officer involved. He did not think the deputy's
evidence was conclusive and felt the deputy should have evidence to prove the vehicle had not been
moved in 72 hours. He continued to read a statement into the record from his son which is on file in
the City Clerk's office.
Councilmember Gutierrez reported he is presently working with Captain Bieberdorf on these types of issues.
C3.
Doug Morris, representing District 21 Little League, stated that on behalf of the Sports Advisory
Committee and youth sports in general, he wanted everyone to work together on the light situation
which he realizes has been a very hot issue for some time now. He stated in yesterday's paper he had
read that the fees were $4.27 and stated they are substantially more than this. He continued to give
more detailed information on the field costs. He stated through the Sports Advisory Committee, and
also Primo Morales, they are working for youth sports in general and that they want to work with the
Park and Recreation Commission and the City Council and the community. He stated there are not
enough facilities available to have all of the sports without some kind of lighting. He mentioned that
he and Primo Morales want to work with everyone. He asked if they could be contacted to try to get
this issue worked out to help the youth of the City.

E. CONSENT ORDINANCES
El. CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE FOR THE RECOVERY OF COSTS FOR SECOND POLICE
RESPONSES TO PARTIES
James Markman, City Attorney, stated that he suggests to the Council that they might want to hold off on
second reading of this Ordinance, if not abandoning it, because of the people's enactment of Prop 218 last
evening. He stated this is not to say this is not a good idea, that this particular approach might prove to be
correct or there may be other ways to approach this. He stated the way it is drafted now it would fall under Prop
218 because it is a property related police service which would be payable back to the City for the police
response. He stated this could be considered a fee that is charged for delivering the police service to the
community. He stated Prop 218 has one provision which precludes the City from charging, enacting or
collecting a fee for general police or fire service which is property related and available to the community. He
felt this was a close enough call so that at this point in time, and in order for the Council to comply with Prop
218 without argument, that they hold up on second reading of the Ordinance until it is brought back to the
Council.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he really wanted this to pass, but did appreciate the conservative approach.
He felt it would be better to go ahead and try it until legal counsel knew for sure what effects Prop 218 would
have on this. He asked how long it would take before more information was available.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated he and the City Manager would be attending a League of California
Cities workshop on November 20 and would hopefully have more answers then.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he did not mind waiting two weeks to vote on this, but if at that time all of the
questions are not answered, he still felt he would want to go ahead and vote for the Ordinance to be approved
in order to improve the community and levels of public safety.
Councilmember Curatalo stated he did not see any problems with tabling this for two weeks until more
information is gathered.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he agreed.
Matt Dedynski, stated he initiated this Ordinance, and felt the Council should go ahead and vote on the
second reading and if there is cause to do otherwise, to deal with it then. He did not think this should
be dropped.

Councilmember Gutierrez asked if they found out this was illegal, couldn't it be rescinded.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated there are two issues, one is if this is even valid at all because it relates
to a police service. He stated the second issue is if it is valid, it is still enacting a new fee that is property related
and the second phase of this would be to submit it to a vote.
Mayor Alexander suggested they go ahead and approve the Ordinance tonight, which would go in effect in 30
days. He stated this would not hold things up if it does prove to be legal, but that if it is not legal they could go
ahead and refund any fees collected.
Councilmember Williams stated she is uncomfortable voting on it now and felt they should find out about it
before it is voted on. She stated she is in favor of the Ordinance, but did not want to go ahead until this could
be done right.
Councilmember Biane stated he felt Councilmember Williams brought up a good point and felt the voters have
spoken about Prop 218. He felt they should hold up on this until more information is available.
Mr. Dedynski felt they should go ahead with the vote now.
Councilmember Curatalo stated he did not think two more weeks would matter and asked if Mr. Dedynski would
agree to that.
Councilmember Gutierrez asked for it to come back in two weeks.
Mayor Alexander stated he didn't see why it couldn't be acted on tonight.
Councilmember Williams stated Prop 218 is a voter mandate and did not think they should vote on this tonight.
Mayor Alexander stated he would like to see Council direction for the police department to provide multiple
responses, at least up to three times, to assist in discouraging these types of loud parties, even if there is not
a fee to be charged right now.
ORDINANCE NO. 561 (second reading)

can now be spread out on East and Eftwanda. He stated Caltrans will be starting a project very soon to do a

Center that was dedicated in June, 1996. He stated they are looking forward to the improvements that
are still going to be done, but wanted to make sure the Council was aware of the problems that exist
atthe Senior Center. He stated they need more handicap parking spaces. He also reported that on
occasion, the seniors have been accosted by some of the youth who are telling them to "drop dead"
and things of that nature. He also reported of an instance that occurred between he and a parent of
one of the kids and how the parent did not think the seniors should be there at all, but to the people
in the City who pay taxes. Mr. Carroll asked for the scheduling to be changed so that they do not have
things going on at the same time that the youth do. He asked for there to be an hour separation
between events so there is more time to set up for something. He mentioned that the seniors want to
keep from having confrontation with the youth and their parents.
Mayor Alexander stated he did not think these situations reflect the attitude of the whole community.
Councilmember Biane stated he felt the Council would agree that the seniors were an asset to the community.
He stated Suzanne Ota is working on these problems and did not feel it would happen again.
Mr. Carroll thanked the City staff for all of the help.
Councilmember Gutierrez asked when will the seniors see all youth out of the Senior Center.
Suzanne Ota, Community Services Manager, stated next year the whole transition would be complete. She
stated she has worked with Joe O'Neil on the three additional handicap parking spaces.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated the parking lot would be taken care of through CDBG money and that they
would be using the space directly to the east of the center for other parking.

limit should be reduced.
Mayor Alexander referred her to Joe O'Neil to discuss this matter.
K. Tony Espinosa commented on how he keeps his trailer in a storage park, but that when he brings it
home and leaves it on the street and has to go to the market or whatever to get ready for his trip, he
keeps getting ticketed.
Mayor Alexander asked him how long it was left on the street.
Mr. Espinosa stated one day. He added he has started writing a note and leaving it on his RV so the
police will not give him a ticket when he is going to the store.
Mayor Alexander stated he felt it was 72 hours that they had.
Duane Baker, Assistant to the City Manager, stated they are not allowed to leave a trailer between the hours
of 2:00 and 6:00 a.m., but that there is an appeal procedure for people who like Mr. Espinosa receive a citation
and explain their case. He stated he routinely dismisses these types of citations.
Mayor Alexander asked for this to be discussed at the next meeting.
Councilmember Williams felt possibly this Ordinance needed to be reviewed again.
Coundlmember Gutierrez felt maybe the Ordinance needs to be more specific for the police to have more clear
guidelines for enforcing this.
