CONSIDERATION TO INCREASE THE MAYOR'S TERM FROM TWO YEARS TO FOUR YEARS (Continued from February 6, 1991) Councilmember Wright asked if the potential charge for this were to be on the ballot, would it be the same process and cost if it were an initiative from the public. (0701-01 COUNCIL) James Markman, City Attorney, stated it would be the same cost and process. Mayor Stout asked if there would be other elections that this could be combined with that the City is already involved in that would not require as much money. James Markman, City Attorney, stated if you did not go to a special election, it would be cheaper. Duane Baker, Assistant to the City Manager, stated if there is a general City election there would be no additional cost for adding another item on the ballot, but that if there is any other election going on, the cost depends on how many other districts and entities are involved in being on the ballot. City Council Minutes February 20, 1991 Page 13 Councilmember Wright asked could the termbe changed and someone run for the new term all on the same ballot. James Markman, City Attorney, stated no. Councilmember Wright stated she felt the term should be made a four-year term and did not feel the Mayor should have to run for office every two years and consistently having to prepare for this. She felt there were people in the community that now wanted the Mayor's term to be four years. She added she wanted to actually hear from the ~eople of the City as to making this position a four-year term. She stated she had problems with doing this now and it costing the City $25,000.00 to $35,000.00 to change it. She stated she would have to hear from the con~nunity that they wanted the City to spend this amount of money or to put it on the next general municipal election. Councilmember Alexander stated he agreed with Councilmember Wright and felt this should go on the ballot for the next general municipal election involving Rancho Cucamonga. Councilmember Willjams asked how you would go about getting input from the public about this matter. Councilmember Alexander stated it could be done through the Grapevine, the Chamber of Commerce and other City organizations to solicit information from them. He stated he felt there would not be that much interest to spend $25,000.00 to $35,000.00 for this change. Councilmember Willjams felt it would be beneficial to have the public input. Councilmember Wright stated whether there is public input or not to go ahead with the election now, she would like to see it on the ballot at the next general municipal election. Mayor Stout stated he did not feel it would be appropriate for him to get involved in this matter one way or the other. Councilmember Alexander stated he would like to get more public input and that it be brought back to the City Council in sixty days to see if the residents are for this. Councilmember Wright stated she would like to get the public input and then have this item brought back to the City Council in sixty days. I2. MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT Staff report presented by Alan Warren, Associate Planner. (0203-04 HOUSING) Mayor Stout stated the maintenance of units which was discussed at the January 31, 1991 meeting should apply-not only to new develoA~nent, but all existing multi-family develoE~nent as well. He stated the phasing of units guidelines should also be included in the Resolution. He stated with respect to the (36) City Council Minutes February 20, 1991 Page 14 Victoria Planned Community, the area north of Base Line between the Windrows and the Vineyards Projects should be looked at along with the Etiwanda Specific Plan area, but that he felt it should not be considered as the Lakes project was. He stated a lot of work has gone into reducing the density in that area already, and that a certain amount of density was required to make the assessments work in Victoria so they would not become too high. Councilmember Buquet stated his main concern was the phasing in of units and wanted to see a proportionate balance for this. Mayor Stout felt these three things should be worked into the Resolution before the City Council approves it. He suggested this come back at the February 26, 1991 joint meeting. Brad Buller, City Planner, stated staff would make these changes and bring it back. Councilmember Buquet stated he would like to see limitations on the number of multi-family units that can be built in proportion to single-family.
