MOTION: Moved by Williams, seconded by Biane to approve the staff recommendations in the staff reports
contained in the Consent Calendar with the exception of items D6 and D4. Motion carried unanimously, 5-0.
DISCUSSION OF ITEM D4. Approval to execute an agreement (CO 96-005) with Acts Concerts to
provide a concert series at the Epicenter during Calendar Year 1996.
Tom Henderson, Vice President of the Quakes, stated he had problems with the contract as
proposed. He pointed out that this is a binding contract for three years and felt it was missing the
word "quality". He stated he did not like tieing up the facility for one year period of time with no
guarantee whatsoever. He referred to Item 7 in the contract which states that Acts shall have the
exclusive right to produce musical concerts performed by professional musicians at the stadium other
than concerts performed by or on behalf of tax exempt civic or nonprofit organizations." He stated
what Acts is being given here is exclusivity. He felt if Acts did not want to, they would not have to
provide any concerts at all. He referred to Page 1, Item 1 which states, "in accordance with the
provisions hereof, Acts shall produce musical concerts at the stadium during calendar years 1996,
1997 and 1998. It is anticipated that Acts shall produce 6 to 12 such concerts in each of said
calendar years. In the event Acts does not produce at least 6 concerts during 1996 or any other
years, agreement shall be deemed to be terminated at the conclusion of the calendar year, during
which less than 6 such concerts occur." He felt the problem with this is that Acts can produce 6
concerts and automatically renew. He felt by producing anything under 6 they are still tieing up the
facility for the whole year and basically own the Epicenter for that entire calendar year exclusively.
He stated they are still hoping to bring the Beach Boys back this year, but they are being locked out
because of Acts. He stated he knows of other musical promoters that are interested in producing
concerts at the Epicenter. He felt this contract has no guarantees and did not agree with it. He felt
the contract did not include enough information in it with no guarantees. He felt the City was putting
itself in an irreversible position.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated he did not agree with Mr. Henderson's comments. He presented some
history about the Quakes doing concerts at the stadium and how they failed. He said they have only produced
one concert. He stated this contract gives Acts the opportunity to do more of what they have already proven
themselves capable of doing. He stated the City is giving somebody the opportunity to market the Epicenter
for musical concerts on a basis where they can go out and get bands, etc. to do a concert through them. He
said they would also seek sponsors for the concert as well. He pointed out that one thing that is in the
contract is that every concert has to be pre-approved by the City Manager.
Mayor Alexander asked if the Quakes wanted to work with Acts Concerts, could they legally do this.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated yes.
Councilmember Gutierrez asked if this contract is equal to what is in the Quakes contract.
City Council Minutes

James Markman, City Attorney, informed him what the contract consists of and that it serves the purpose it
is supposed to serve and that is to promote a concert venue for the community and bring in another return
on the stadium so that it can pay for the operation of the sports fields. He stated if Mr. Burke does not arrange
for six concerts, the City can terminate the contract if they want to.
Tom Henderson, Quakes, pointed out the quality of people that worked on the Chicago concert and
felt they had no experience or training to do this. He also asked how much money was made or lost
from this concert. He reiterated he did not agree with the wording of the contract.
Councilmember Biane asked Mr. Burke to inform the Council about Acts Concerts.
Ron Burke, Acts Concerts, felt they got a real good start last year with the concerts held at the
Epicenter. He stated he has documentation that indicates the Quakes would do concerts at the
Epicenter, but that they later backed out. He stated he then came to the City to finish what the
Quakes would not do. He stated he would like to continue with the concerts and build from the
Chicago concert. He felt it was important to have an exclusive contract.
Councilmember VVilliams clarified that the contract does allow for anyone to work through Acts to bring any
concert to the Epicenter.
Mr. Burke stated that was correct.
MOTION: Moved by Biane, seconded by Curatalo to approve Item D4. Motion carried unanimously, 5-0.
E. CONSENT ORDINANCES
No items were submitted.
F. ADVERTISED PUBLIC HEARINGS
Fl. CONSIDERATION OF PERMIT APPLICATION BY COLE SCHAEFER AMBULANCE TO PROVIDE
BLS AMBULANCE SERVICES IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA (Continued from January 3, 1996) Staff report
presented by Duane Baker, Assistant to the City Manager.
Mayor Alexander opened the meeting for public headng. Addressing the City Council were:
Francis Dowling, Cole Schaefer Ambulance, stated they have been doing business in the City for
many years and that they have had permits in prior years. He felt they have had a permit more than
what the City is saying they have had. He stated it is not their intention to upset the service of the
current ambulance provider. He stated they have a current contract to provide service to the Quakes
and hope to work with them against next year.
Councilmember Gutierrez asked how many calls they make.
Mr. Dowling stated about 3 - 4 per month.
Councilmember Biane asked what happens if a patient changes from a BLS to an ALS patient.

Brian Scott, Cole Schaefer Ambulance, stated they would provide CPR and get them to the closest
hospital ASAP.
Councilmember Curatalo asked where the ambulance is stationed that responds to Quakes calls.
Mr. Scott stated they are stationed at the stadium and that the response time is about 1 - 2 minutes.
Councilmember Curatalo then asked what would the response time be if it were an ALS incident.
Mr. Scott stated about 7 minutes.
Councilmember VVilliams asked about the permit that they want and why they want it.
Mr. Dowling stated if they are denied the permit, they will not be able to do business in Rancho
Cucamonga.
Councilmember Curatalo pointed out this is basic life support service.
Teryl Cude, MedTrans, presented information on why Cole Schaefer should not be granted a permit.
He continued to give background information on MedTrans. He told about the service they provide
to the patients.
Jim McNichols, MedTrans, stated he worked out the agreement with his company and the City. He
stated he did not agree that Cole Schaefer has been here 30 years. He stated Cole Schaefer was
asked in 1993 to get a permit which they did not admit to. He felt there was a standard in the
community and that is what the Council should measure up to.
Councilmember Williams asked how many BLS calls they get in one month.
Jim McNichols stated about 300.
Councilmember Williams asked how many ALS calls there were.
Jim McNichols stated about 4,800 per year. He continued to request that the Council deny the permit
for Cole Schaefer.
Manny Galvez, works for Cole Schaefer and resident of the City, felt their emergency care service
was great. He wondered why all of a sudden was a permit needed. He stated they have been doing
business for many years and would like to continue to do so.
Mr. Dowling stated MedTrans hand picks their calls and that they have refused to service certain
areas. He stated if they get a permit tonight, they will look for a station in Rancho Cucamonga. He
asked that they be granted the permit.
There being no further response, the public hearing was closed.
Chief Michael, Fire District, stated he did not know if there is a need for an additional provider. He pointed
out that in 1993 Duane Baker had sent a letter to Cole Schaefer requesting they submit a permit to have
ambulance services in the City.
Mayor Alexander asked what staffs recommendation is.

Chief Michael, Fire District, stated it would be to deny the permit.
Mayor Alexander asked the same question of Mr. Markman.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated the recommendation would be to submit a Resolution at the next
meeting with findings to either grant or deny the permit.
MOTION: Moved by Curatalo, seconded by Gutierrez to deny the permit and to prepare a Resolution to state
same for the next meeting.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he appreciates what Cole Schaefer is trying to do by doing business and
creating competition. He did not feel it was dght to take business away from MedTrans. He stated he was not
convinced there was a public need to have another ambulance company in the City.
Motion carried unanimously, 5-0.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated a Resolution will come back at the next meeting as directed by the
Council.
A recess was taken at 8:42 p.m.

F2. CONSIDERATION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 95-26 - SAM'S PLACE - Consideration of an
appeal of the Planning Commission's decision denying a request to serve distilled liquor in conjunction with
a restaurant and billiard hall, located at 6620 Carnelian Street, in the Neighborhood Commercial District- APN:
201-811-56, 59, 60, and 61. Staff report presented by Nancy Fong, Senior Planner.
Councilmember Gutierrez asked what their use is now.
Nancy Fong, Senior Planner, stated right now they are allowed to serve beer and wine.
Councilmember Williams pointed out that the hours of operation had been reduced from before.
Nancy Fong, Senior Planner, added that the police calls to this establishment are also less in number.
Mayor Alexander opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council were:
John Mannerino, Base Line Road and representing Sam's Place and Mr. Pellegrino, clarified that the
hours of operation are from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. He stated they are not appealing the
entertainment permit, only the CUP for distilled spirits. He stated if Mr. Pellegdno were allowed to sell
distilled spirits, his profit margin would increase by 300%. He referred to the graph on page 46 and
felt there were more police calls for the overall shopping center than there were for Sam's Place. He
asked those supporting Sam's Place to stand up. A large group stood from the audience. He pointed
out if the CUP is granted, they are willing to have their performance reviewed within a reasonable
timeframe.
Councilmember VVilliams inquired as to what level of entertainment is currently allowed.

John Mannerino stated karaoke.
Councilmember Williams commented that the City has not received any complaints about Sam's Place
because people are not leaving at 2:00 a.m. honking their horns and being loud.
Gary Bemis spoke about some of the letters the Council had received supporting Sam's Place.
Jack Agapay stated his business is to help bring businesses into a City. He stated Sam's Place has
been involved in the community. He pointed out he had done his own noise survey in the
neighborhood near Sam's Place and that the only noise he could hear were cars and trucks, not loud
noise from Sam's Place.
Terry Hortline stated she felt Sam's Place was a friendly and safe place. She stated she didn't go
there to drink, but went there because she liked the people. She felt the City's revenue would go up
if Sam's revenue went up.
Joe Fabis, 6611 Topaz, felt the noise level is out of control and asked the Council to deny their
Conditional Use Permit. He felt commercial and residential should be kept separately.
Ray Douglas told what a good place Sam's is and how he cares for the people that go there. He
asked that Sam's permit be granted.
Ralph Williams, 7461 Kirkwood, felt his permit should be granted.
Hugh Harrison stated he is opposed to Sam's Place being granted a liquor license. He stated he
does not always call the police when there has been a noise problem. He asked that the permit be
denied.
James Caruso pointed out that Sam's Place has increased in size and that it has gotten quieter.
John Mannerino pointed out that they are willing to be reassessed in a reasonable amount of time as
to how they are doing if the CUP is granted.
James Markman, City Attorney, asked if the Council were to grant this by Resolution, he asked if they are
willing to waive their right to have this permit run with the land and that essentially it will have to be reissued
by the same type of proceeding at the Council level six months from now, nine months from now.
John Mannerino stated when the facility was the Boar's Head the Council established periodic review
which was brought before the Council. He stated his offer is not to make it a CUP running with the
land, but to voluntarily submit their reviews as opposed to their being a complaint and waiting for the
Planning staff do something.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated current case law dictates that a permit runs with the land so even
though the Council might review it, the permit would remain no matter what that review showed unless there
was a revocation to commence, which can happen at any time the issue comes before the staff anyway. He
also pointed out that if the liquor license is transferred and the bar is sold under different management, the
new owner has absolutely the same right to operate as Mr. Pellegrino does.
John Mannerino pointed out that if the business is transferred to someone else and the standard of
operation were to be diminished, the Council would have the right to revoke this permit subject to
hearings through the Planning Commission and the City Council.

Mr. Harrison pointed out that Mr. Pellegrino has a lot of supporters in the audience, but asked how
many of them live behind the establishment and have to put up with the noise all of the time.
Mr. Pellegrino pointed out that Radio Shack has been robbed 9 times in one year and that the police
calls are not always because of Sam's Place.
There being no further public input, the public hearing was closed.
Councilmember Williams told the history of what has gone on with Sam's Place being before the Council. She
asked if he had added air conditioning so the back door does not have to be open. She stated she could not
see how the liquor license would change anything. She felt the issues previously discussed was the
entertainment permit. She stated if there are any problems with granting the CUP she would be asking for
there to be a revocation hearing.
Mayor Alexander stated he would not go along with the entertainment, but that he would go along with the
alcohol license. He stated he would be in favor of revoking the CUP if there are problems because of allowing
the liquor.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he did not see how the liquor would cause an increase in complaints. He
stated he could not deny Sam the liquor license. He felt Sam should be given a chance.
Councilmember Biane thanked the residents and patrons of Sam's for being at the meeting tonight. He stated
he would support the liquor permit.
Councilmember Curatalo applauded Sam for his business efforts. He stated he would not support staff's
recommendation because he did not see a reason to approve the CUP.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated a Resolution needed to come back at the next meeting to support what
the Council's desire is.
Brad Buller, City Planner, asked if the Council was interested in including some condition about a sequence
of reviews as was offered by the applicant.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated he felt staff should give direction as part of this.

I. COUNCIL BUSINESS
I1. DISCUSSION OF RESIDENT'S REQUEST FOR FRONT YARD LAWN MAINTENANCE (Oral
Discussion)
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he brought this before the entire Council because there is a certain
neighborhood that has a lot of brown lawns and suggested there should possibly be a certain quality of
landscaping maintained at residences. He stated he would like to enact an ordinance to require certain
regulations of the residents as does Covina and Fontaria. He stated he felt if this is adopted, that Code
Enforcement would require additional help to enforce this.
Councilmember Curatalo stated he felt there were two areas being dealt with here - one was property that is
owner occupied and possibly a lot of rental property. He felt it was a little too intrusive to put further
restrictions on owner occupied property. He felt there should be some maintenance control for rental
properties. He felt both of the areas should be handled separately.
City Council Minutes
February 7, 1996
Page 10
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he felt there was a state law that states a landlord would not get a tax
deduction from the property if he is not in compliance with the Ordinance which the City would have to have
in place.
Bill Makshanoff, Building Official, stated he would want to investigate this further with Mr. Markman and work
out the details for this aspect of the rental properties.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he knew of two families that had to leave the meeting tonight that expressed
their desire to him to have something like this put in place like the green lawn ordinance.
Mayor Alexander opened the meeting for public comment. Addressing the City Council were:
Letha Elsdon, 7260 Corte Place, stated she had pictures for the Council to review. She did not feel
this was an isolated issue, that it was everywhere. She stated it was not just renters. She felt the
Victoria area has gone down significantly. She stated she felt the City's easement should be kept up
also. She felt renters should have to keep up their property just like a residence that is owner
occupied.
Greg Durst, representing residents on Mango and Taupe, made comments about how the
neighborhood he lives in wants residents to keep their lawns green. He stated they would like the
Municipal Code revised to include regulations for green lawns. He felt banks should have to comply
with this also when a foreclosure of property is involved. He stated he is unhappy with a neighbor of
his who does not keep up their property.
Nancy Negredi stated she would like the City to pass an ordinance to help keep lawns maintained.
Councilmember Gutierrez concurred that renters and property owners should be approached differently.
Councilmember Williams stated she felt there was already something in place, but that it needs to be enforced.
She added she agreed with what Councilmember Curatalo was saying, that by changing this the City might
be getting a little too technical. She felt we had the law already, but not the manpower to enforce it.
Rick Gomez, Community Development Director, stated staff is doing what they can with the authority they
have been given. He stated staff needs further direction to go to the next level.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he was told that the City can't go further with the ordinance the way it is. He
stated he would like to compare our ordinance with other cities as far as the wording. He felt there needed
to be a way to enforce what is already on the books. He stated he would be willing to work with staff to
develop something.
Councilmember Williams felt the first step should be to look at what the City currently already has in place.
Councilmember Gutierrez suggested he and Councilmember Curatalo work together with staff on this matter.
Mayor Alexander suggested the concerned residents be notified when this does come back to the Council for
further consideration.
Tom Schollenberger, CCWD, stated they do have regulations against excessive watering, and that
this should not be abused to put green lawns in place.
ACTION: Gutierrez and Curatalo to work on this issue and bring it back to the entire Council.

12. DISCUSSION Of RESIDENT'S REQUEST TO DISCUSS LISA SUN'S (ETIWANDA HIGH SCHOOL)
WASHINGTON D.C. TRIP (Oral Discussion)
Sylvia Wieland, Cedar Mountain and President of the Community Council at Etiwanda High School,
asked for some type of funding to help get Lisa Sun to Washington D.C. She asked for suggestions
to help her.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he felt he could raise the money for her, not through the City, but on his own.
Councilmember Williams felt it would be nice for the student to come back to the Council and report on her
experience. She stated she would be willing to contribute to her.
Mrs. Wieland stated she would send them information and be sure Lisa does report back to the
Council.
13. REPORT FROM CABLE TELEVISION SUBCOMMITTEE ON MARKS CABLEVISION Staff report
presented by Duane Baker, Assistant to the City Manager.
Councilmembers Biane and Gutierrez stated they felt customer service issues were very important. They did
not agree with any kind of discounts for certain individuals because it would not be completely fair.
Councilmember Gutierrez felt a customer should be compensated when their cable does go out. They should
not have to call in for the refund, but that it should be automatic.
Councilmember Biane brought up the fact of using PEG access to advertise a reward for cable vandals. He
stated he felt he and Councilmember Gutierrez were in agreement to put on PEG access what the reward is
that is currently being offered by Marks.
Tim Kelly, General Manager Marks Cablevision, stated he would be happy to negotiate any customer
service standards as long as his competitors have to do the same thing.
Councilmember Gutierrez asked if he would talk to Bill Marks Sr. about giving refunds when there is an
outage.
Mr. Kelly stated they have no way of telling which homes have an outage.
Sean Hogue, Marks Cablevision, stated at the last meeting Marks Cablevision agreed to compensate
people when there is an outage. He asked if they could have more notice for the Subcommittee
meetings and could they have more time at a meeting to explain their case.
