CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT PLAN FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF (19) ONTARIO AIRPORT TERMINAL (1206-06 TRANSPORT) Mayor Stout stated he asked for this item because he felt the communities surrounding Ontario should be supportive of their efforts to expand the airport because everyone was affected by it. He felt the airport expansion would be good for the economic development of the entire region. Councilmember Gutierrez inquired if there was a consortium of cities that supports this issue. Councilmember Alexander stated the Friends of the Airport was a regional group that supported the airport.

Motion carried 5-0. 12. CONSIDERATION TO SUPPORT A BELOW GRADE DESIGNED FREEWAY FOR THE ENTIRE (20) LENGTH OF THE FOOTHILL FREEWAY CORRIDOR THROUGH RANCHO CUCAMONGA (1160-01 FREEWAY) City Council Minutes July 6, 1994 Page 8 Mayor Stout stated he requested this item because even though the Council has often discussed over the years their desire to see the Foothill Freeway constructed as a below grade freeway, they have never formalized that policy and fett it would be appropriate for them to do so at this time by adopting the proposed resolution. Councilmember Gutierrez asked what affect would this resolution have. Mayor Stout felt this freeway was different from other freeways in Califomia because they were supported by Federal and State agencies due to their impact on regional transportation. First this freeway was abandoned at the Federal level, then it was abandoned at the State level in the 1970's, and it is only because of the involvement of the local cities along the route recognized the need for another freeway in this area that the idea is active today. He felt because of the involvement of the local cities, that they should have some say in how the freeway should be designed. He felt it was important for them to go on record with their opinion so that all agencies would know what their desires were. He stated he did not know what the final outcome would be, but felt they should have some say in the matter and should lay the foundation now even if delays are occurring. He also wanted to correct a misunderstanding by the press recently that the Council was only now coming around to this way of thinking due to pressure from the residents, which was not true. He stated the Council has always been concerned about how the freeway would be constructed in Rancho Cucamonga and did not want to see it be above grade. Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public comments. Addressing the Council were: Gayle Hinazumi, Co-Chairperson from Concerned Citizens about Route 30 (C-Car), stated they were asking for the elected officials and community members to come together and form one strong, unified group. She felt they had made strides working separately, but felt it was time to join together. She stated they were looking for the same direction from the Council that has brought other fine projects to the City, such as City Hall, gateway monuments, the upcoming library, etc. She stated none of these projects could have happened without all entities working together as one cohesive group. They wanted to work together to ensure that the Route 30 freeway would meet the design standards of the City and maintain the quality of life that the residents have become accustomed to. She submitted to the Council a list of proposed guidelines for creating an ad hoc committee and asked that this be agendized for the next meeting. Richard Dinkleman, 6938 Onyx, wanted to let the Council know that there were people in the community who did support the building of Route 30. He stated he worked for the engineering department of the City of Ontario, which has 17 freeway miles. He stated he has read that a lot of people believe that depressing the freeway will reduce the noise, but before they committed to a design that would be more costly, he felt they should be aware that whether the freeway is above, at or below grade the height of the soundwall remains the same, so they would not be eliminating soundwalls by depressing the freeway. He felt if they were doing it for esthetics that was one thing, but if they were doing it because of sound, they should be aware they would still have a 12-14 foot soundwall. There being no further response, the public comments section was closed. Mayor Stout thought they should have a meeting between the Public Works Subcommittee and C-Car, and have a recommendation come back by the first meeting in August. Councilmember Williams clarified that if the Council were to adopt a formal policy, it would commit future Council's to adhere to these guidelines. City Council Minutes July 6, 1994 Page 9 Mayor Stout stated the resolution could be repealed, but it would have to be done at a public meeting. Councilmember Alexander encouraged the participation of the groups concerned about the design of the freeway. He stated he supported the resolution and the comments made earlier, and that they needed to continue to explore design options with Caltrans that were previously planned and look to see if there were ways to improve and save money by using new technology available today. Mayor Stout stated there was more to the concept of a depressed freeway than sound attenuation. He stated he was very concerned with the non-tangible consequence of social planning with respect to dividing a city with an identifiable geographical barrier that currently does not exist because he has seen what it has done to other communities, and he wanted people to be thinking about those consequences. Councilmember Gutierrez stated he also supported the resolution and felt there was plenty of time available for this project to allow for citizen participation, which he thought was very important. RESOLUTION NO. 94-143 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING ITS SUPPORT FOR A BELOW GRADE DESIGNED FREEWAY FOR THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE FOOTHILL FREEWAY CORRIDOR THROUGH RANCHO CUCAMONGA MOTION: Moved by Stout, seconded by Buquet to adopt Resolution No. 94-143. Motion carried unanimously, 5-0. MOTION: Moved by Stout, seconded by Alexander to direct the Public Works Subcommittee to work with C- Car with respect to their proposal to form a combined group, and bring back a proposal that would formalize the process to the City Council at the first meeting in August. Motion carried unanimously, 5-0. 13. DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO PREVENT CONVENIENCE STORE ROBBERIES ( 21 ) (0510-00 SAFETY) Mayor Stout stated he and Councilmember Buquet have been working for some time on this issue based on information provided by a consultant in respect to commercial safety. He spoke about the City of Gainesville, Florida, which had developed an ordinance for this problem and had a decrease of 79% in convenience store robberies. He felt the City should be proactive and institute a program before there was a real problem. He felt this was just the beginning and that they would like to look at other areas of improvement in the future. He stated they were asking the Council for authorization to work with the Chamber of Commerce and the Police Department to develop an ordinance for Rancho Cucamonga. Councilmember Buquet felt they were moving in the right direction and appreciated the Mayor's comments about expanding on this idea. He would also like to see added to the planning process incorporating into new designs a network alarm system for an entire shopping center so that small businesses could also benefit who might not have been able to afford an alarm system otherwise. Councilmember Alexander felt they needed to be careful when wording this ordinance that they were not creating their own unfunded mandates. City Council Minutes July 6, 1994 Page 10 Councilmember Buquet stated he would like to see this done with new construction and on certain retrofit projects. Mayor Stout stated he has spoken to owners of convenience stores who are already taking preventative measures, and they would not mind doing more if it were not cost prohibitive because of other City fees. He felt they needed to look at the fee system because the actual improvements are cost beneficial to a business and they did not want to deter them from taking corrective steps because of City fees. Councilmember Williams stated she would like to see banks included in this also. Councilmember Gutierrez concurred with Councilmember Williams. He stated he was also concerned about burglaries and car thefts, and would like to see them look at that one day. Councilmember Buquet felt they might also be able to use this as a marketing opportunity where businesses could provide systems to companies to show how their products work in the marketplace. ACTION: The Law Enforcement Subcommittee and City Staff to work with the Chamber of Commerce and Police Department in developing an ordinance to prevent convenience store robberies, and bring back to the Council for consideration in 90 days. J. IDENTIFICATION OF ITEMS FOR NEXT MEETING J 1. Mayor Stout asked to have an update on the City Seal, when they plan to start using it and other ways that the artwork might be utilized for things other than official documents. J2. Councilmember Alexander stated he would like to have an informational report on where the City is at in developing some form of youth center or youth center activities. Councilmember Williams thought the Park and Recreation Commission had been looking into this and possibly they could have an update from them. K. COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC KI. Marcus Solomon, Berkeley, stated he would be leaving next week for the Goodwill Games in Russia and thanked the Council for their moral support. He asked if the Council would one day take the time again to consider the issue of having a skateboard park in one of the City's park facilities. Councilmember Williams left the meeting at 8:11 p.m. K2. Ernie Mansfield, resident of Rancho Cucamonga, thanked the Council for their work on the Route 30 issue and for listening to the concerns of the citizens. He had heard there was supposed to be a community meeting on July 25th, but felt after headng the comments tonight they should postpone that meeting until October when more information would be available and people would be in town after their summer vacations. He also inquired about the unfunded mandates the Council had discussed earlier and asked if citizen involvement might help in that area. City Council Minutes July 6, 1994 Page 11 Mayor Stout briefly explained some of the Situations faced by cities in regards to the mandates and how it would be very difficult for citizens from one community to make a difference since they affected the entire nation and it was possible that their representative was one that voted against them in the first place. L. ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Moved by Gutierrez, seconded by Alexander to recess the meeting to Executive Session, not to reconvene, to discuss Labor Negotiations per Government Code Section 54957.6 to give Robert Dominguez, Administrative Services Director, direction in regards to the meet and confer process with all City employee groups; Property per Government Code Section 54956.8 located at the southwest corner of the 1-15 freeway and Foothill Boulevard, with Hughes Purcell/Home Depot; James Markman and Linda Daniels negotiators; concerning negotiation of property acquisition/development; and Property per Government Code Section 54956.8, Located on the east side of Rochester, south of Foothill, with Valley Baseball; James Markman and Linda Daniels negotiators; concerning price and terms of payment.
