SOUTH OF NINTH STREET AND VINMARTO SIERRA MADRE AVENUES Staff report presented
by Mike Olivier, St. Civil Engineer. (1110-18 VACATE ACC)
Councilmember Wright stated she did not want to see a situation occur where
graffiti was occurring in this area and for the City to tell the residents they
would not take care of the graffiti removal.
Duane Baker, Assistant to the City Manager, stated he knew the residents wanted
to get this blocked off. He stated if this does become private property, they
would be provided the paint for graffiti removal.
Councilmember Buquet felt there should be a complete closure of that area for
pedestrian access, with something other than a chain link fence.
Mayor Stout suggested the alley be divided in half with the residents picking up
the area into their own yards.
Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council

G2. CONSIDERATION OF AN APPEAL OF ORDER TO MITIGATE STRUCTURAL HAZARDS OF
UNREINFORCEDMASONRY STRUCTURE - 8847 NINTH STREET - SCHEUMANUFACTURING COMPANY
- This is an appeal of an Order of the Building Official to mitigate structural
hazards of an unreinforced masonry building, sent under the authority of
Ordinance No. 417. Staff report presented by Jerry Grant, Building Official.
(0701-06 APPEAL)
Mayor Stout asked if there was an earthquake, would it be accurate to state this
building would have serious difficulties.
Jerry Grant, Building Official, felt that to be a fair statement.
The City Council continued to ask various construction questions about this
building.
Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council
was:
Paul Bialis, representing Leland Scheu, reported to the Council he had
pictures of a cornerstone that had a date of 1957 and that the toilets
have dates of June 20, 1955 and March 16, 1956, which he had submitted to
the City. He stated there was no proof that this building was
unreinforced. He felt the building had to be built after 1941 because of
a geological survey he had from the state.
Councilmember Buquet asked Mr. Bialis what he has done to validate the 1957 date
on the cornerstone.
Mr. Bialis stated he has done nothing.
Mayor Stout suggested that with the way the Ordinance is structured, it would be
to his benefit to follow item No. 1, and if a structural engineer found the
building to be safe, they would be home free. He stated the other option was
that within 270 days a structural analysis could be provided stating the building
can be basically retrofitted so that it becomes safe.
Councilmember Buquet felt the two options suggested by Mayor Stout would prove
if the building was safe or not.
There being no further response, the public hearing was closed.
Councilmember suggested Mr. Scheu find out if the building was structurally
sound. He felt the appeal should be denied until this proof can be provided or
they could comply with the ordinance.
Councilmember Alexander felt this building was built before 1946.

INFRASTRUCTURE Staff report presented by Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager.
(0401-00 REV & TAX) (0401-03 ETI N DR)
Mayor Stout asked if the rate were to be set at the amount that is recommended
to allow enough funds for the bond issuance, if the negotiations on the bond
issuance fell through or if there was no longer a request, could the City
establish a policy or some legal method for refunding the difference, and
clarified if the City did not set it, that they would not collect it.
Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, stated they would not recommend that bonds
be issued this year until after they have set the rates high enough to handle
that service.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated staff is not in a position to advocate either
raising it or not raising it, that they only bring this issue to the Council to
be responsive to a request from the Caryn Company that they feel bonds could be
sold this year. He added if it is not set now, they would have to wait until
next year.
Councilmember Buquet asked why was this being done at the last minute, and why
it was not done six months ago.

City Council Minutes
August 7, 1991
Page 10
Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, stated the City had concerns about insuring
that the infrastructure would be completed within a reasonable amount of time.
He stated the general feeling is that it is not good money management to sell
bonds, then hold those dollars for years, so the City waited until the Caryn
Company told the City they were nearing completion and the City felt they could
complete it within a reasonable amount of time before negotiations could be
completed.
Jack Lam, City Manager, added there were not any serious negotiations done on
this issue until the last two weeks. He etated this was established as an
Acquisition District. He stated in this case, the developer had not completed
all the improvements, and in the recent past it had been indicated to the City
that some of these improvements may not be completed for some time to come. He
stated that given the situation where the Caryn Company has indicated they would
like for the City to take a look at partial reimbursement for certain
improvements, the City has structured a method which the bonds can be sold on an
acceptable basis from the City's standpoint and that is why this issue was before
the Council tonight. He stated this just happened to come up within the last
couple weeks.
Councilmember Buquet wanted to make sure the City could get everything ready to
be put on the tax roles in the allotted amount of time given by the County.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated they have until August 19th, and that the City
would be working with the County until that time to be sure that the proper
assessments are placed on the properties.
Councilmember Wright asked if there was any increase in this action to developed
property, or was it for undeveloped property.
Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, stated it was all for undeveloped property,
that there was no impact whatsoever to developed property within the boundaries
of this District.
Councilmember Wright asked what would happen once this property was developed.
Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, stated it would move over to the same rate
as the current developed property.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated this would not affect any current or future
homeowner.
Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public comment. Addressing the City Council
were:
Mike White, Standard Pacific, 1565 W. MacArthur Blvd., Costa Mesa, stated
he was also speaking on behalf of another land owner, Century American,
who owns property in Tract 13566 which was directly south of his, stated
they had received notice from the City in July that their assessment would
not change for the next fiscal year. He stated yesterday he had received
notice from another landowner that an increase would occur at this City
Council meeting. He felt the increase proposed was substantial to the
City Council Minutes
August 7, 1991
Page 11
undeveloped land his company owned. He stated since he just
received the notice yesterday about this increase, he would like
more time to study the impacts it would have. He continued to
express his concerns about this proposal. He reiterated he would
like a two week continuance on this matter.
Kevin Pohlson, Caryn Development Company, etated he had notified Mike
White about the undeveloped land tax increase. He mentioned they have
been working with the City for approximately two years on this project and
what they have accomplished. He stated they would like to request tonight
that if it is possible to work with the City Manager's Office, to follow
their lead, and try to get their facilities in a position so they can be
reimbursed on a portion-by-portion basis. He stated they intend to use
the reimbursements and complete the rest of their facilities. He
requested that they be able to separate the flood insurance program from
this action into a program where they can work with the City Manager's
Office and the City Engineer to satisfy the letter of map provision as
quickly as possible after the facilities are completed unless there may
not be a need for flood insurance, and felt they were very close on this.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated the only action before the Council tonight was to
set the rate. He stated there are still many other issues left for negotiation,
i.e., insurance. He stated if it was not set tonight and put on the tax roles,
it does not matter what is negotiated next year, one would have to wait until the
following year if one was contemplating full reimbursement as he felt everyone
was contemplating. He stated the money from this tax would be used for
infrastructure and minor administration to manage the Districts. He stated any
money that was not used would go to the property owners. He stated the money
could not be used for anything other than for the facilities in the District and
that there was a maximum cap set on that already. He stated if the Council finds
the assessments are too high, they can be reduced down the next year.
Councilmember Buquet asked for clarification of the action they are being asked
to take.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated when the property was taken into the City there
was an agreement on the financing of infrastructure, and it was decided to do an
Acquisition District. He added when you do an Acquisition District it is
dependent upon how soon the proponent builds the facilities, which have not been
built as quickly as the City had hoped. He stated the number of homes have not
been built to support the bond issue as the City had also hoped. He stated there
was a "safety valve" in the agreement whereby if there was not enough homes built
to cover the bond issue, then the vacant land would pick up the remaining amount,
which is where the City was today with the developer picking up that cost. He
felt it would be inefficient to wait until next year if everyone wants to go
ahead with the bond issue. He continued to inform the Council about the
improvements to be made. He stated there were still many issues to be resolved
before any bond issue can be sold and before reimbursements are actually made.
He stated it has been indicated to staff that things can be worked out before the
end of this fiscal year so that a bond issue can be made.

Councilmember Alexander asked if Standard Pacific had put any money into the
infrastructure.
Mike White, Standard Pacific, stated they are not required to.
Councilmember Wright stated she felt the City was being put in the middle of two
developers with different viewpoints.
Various questions were asked of Messrs. White and Pohlson by the City Council.
James Markman, City Attorney, suggested if the Council wanted to do this, they
should do it tonight, but that within the next seventy-two hours Jerry Fulwood,
Deputy City Manager, could respond to the questions.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated staff was not happy with the time frame either,
and that three weeks would not answer all of the questions, and felt there would
be weeks and weeks of discussions on this. He stated at this point all they were
trying to do was set the rate because there are many things that are not known
yet.
