limit, east of Etiwanda Avenue and west of the existing boundary of the City of
Fontana. Staff report presented by Miki Bratt, Associate Planner. (0702-02
ANNEXATION)
Mayor Stout questioned what the County is offering compared to what the
historical amount is.
Miki Bratt, Associate Planner, stated that the historic formula is now 6.3%, but
used to be 4.9%, that is has gone up.
Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, stated that the County has their formula
based on historical rates, which was previously 4.36%, and that based on
negotiations that the City had entered in before, they offered 6.36% initially;
however, they have modified their position and offered 3.3%. He stated the
problem with this is they have not clearly looked at the level of service or the
potential cost to the City for providing service to that area, nor the fact that
the City had in the past received the basic tax rate formula. He stated this
puts the City in an awkward position.
City Council Minutes
September 19, 1990
Page 13
Mayor Stout stated that legislation was passed approximately two years ago that
set up a formula, which over time would increase the City's property tax rate,
1% incrementally, up to a maximum of 7%. He asked if in a few years, would the
City's increment kick in so that the City's increment would start.
Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, stated that was correct.
Mayor Stout asked if newly annexed areas slide up that scale to 7%.
Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, stated they would.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated that just recently at the State level there was
an action to reduce the amount to the no- and low-property tax cities, cutting
them back to 90% of what they received the year before. He stated that was with
the understanding it would be a one year only cut in order for the State to
balance its budget; however, he stated in the fall there should be another
assault on this bill that would make this cut permanent. He stated in theory
the City would get up to the 7%, but stated that because the City is already up
to the 4.5%, it would have been the fifth year before the City realized any
additional taxes. He stated in that five year period, it can easily disappear.
Mayor Stout stated if the City authorizes the negotiations tonight, something
final would have to come back to the Council at a later date, and asked how much
time does the City have for the negotiations.
Miki Bratt, Associate Planner, stated this can go on until the City has
considered and approved an EIR because the City cannot go forward with the
annexation until that happens anyway. She stated it would be three to four
weeks before an EIR can be circulated, and then another 45 days after that.
Councilmember Buquet stated that it appears to him in his review of this and
what the County is doing as far as the differential, that the County Counsel has
set up a growth management task force, and one of the things they have been
looking at is increasing developer fees and increasing shares of revenue to
cover library services, flood control, fire protection, and a lot of other
things they have in their affected jurisdictions. He asked if it appeared this
is part of that effort.
Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, stated the County is playing a new game, and
as it was explained to him and Jim Hart, Administrative Services Director, by
the County, they are basically saying this is what the figure of basic taxes to
the City is after you take in the services currently being provided in the area.
This would take care of the current service levels with no new development at
3.3%, which means there is a difference of 4% that they indicate they would
split with the City, which is what the new service level becomes. He stated
this is different than anything the City has ever heard before. He wanted to
make clear this tax formula does not include special taxes, i.e., flood control
or any special improvement district tax. He stated it does not take any money
away from those.
City Council Minutes;
September 19, 1990
Page 14
(35)
Jim Hart, Administrative Services Director, stated after he, Larry Henderson and
Miki Bratt met representatives from the County so they could explain the 3.3%,
he stated what they have done is taken the 6.36%, which is the City's general
tax rate that is received and is the tax rate for that area, and they are saying
they will split that with the City under an agreement that was made in 1985.
He stated that is where 3.3% is coming from. He stated the problem is they are
taking the City's share and dividing that in half, and keeping half of Rancho
Cucamonga's, plus whatever they are getting above what Rancho Cucamonga is
getting. He felt they were trying to slow the City down on the annexation or
something along that line. He stated he knows there is something wrong, but
that staff is trying to figure out what, and will be communicating this to the
Administrative Offices of the County with a proposal.

H5. CONSIDERATION OF AN INCREASE IN HOME IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM ADMINISTRATIVE
SERVICES CONTRACT - The approval of an amendment to the Professional Services
Contract (CO 90-013) with Willdan Associates to authorize an increase in the
Home Improvement Program administrative services portion of the Community
Development Block Grant Program. Staff report presented by Larry Henderson,
Principal Planner. (0602-01 CONTRACT) (0203-04 CDBG)
Mayor Stout inquired as to how the program works and what the City is doing to
help out.
Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, went into detail on the things this program
is involved with.
Councilmember Alexander asked if there was any plan to bolster the program.
Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, stated in next year's Block Grant
Application there will probably be a recommendation to the Council to possibly
up the $80,000.00 and do less curb and gutter work in some of the areas, to try
to get the backlog of housing problems taken care of and out of the way.
Mayor Stout suggested when the CDBG item comes around next year, he would like
to see alternatives expressed so the Council can choose what the money is to go
for.

I. COUNCIL BUSINESS
I1. DISCUSSION OF DATES AND ATTENDANCE OF SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETINGS WITH
COMMISSIONS AND OTHER AGENCIES (Continued from September 5, 1990) (0701-01
COUNCIL)
Staff report presented by Mayor Stout, who stated it is difficult for everyone
to be at all the special meetings, and would like for the Council to consider
that if only two Councilmembers are present, and there is not a quorum, to not
have an official meeting, but continue with the discussion so the meeting does
not have to be postponed. He felt this was important because there are so many
meetings it is difficult to rearrange the schedule. He felt the Councilmembers
that are present at the meeting can report back to the entire Council about what
took place. He added he would like for the Council to think about his
suggestion.
Councilmember Alexander suggested that possibly some of the special meetings be
combined so that there would not have to be so many meetings.
Mayor Stout suggested that regular Council items not be carried over to the
special meetings.
Councilmember Buquet suggested that the time frame be expanded to one meeting
every two months so that the entire schedule would take two years instead of
one. He also suggested that possibly a Council subcommittee go to the meetings
instead of the entire Council, and then report back.
ACTION: Report received and filed.

having its own Housing Authority. He added this could come back in a memorandum
to the Council instead of being on the agenda.

Authorities and how they are set up, etc. He added once the report is given to
the Council, they could decide how they want to proceed with this.

J2. Councilmember Buquet wanted an announcement made that on October 25th
there will be a Gang and Drug Education Program at Alta Loma High School to be
sponsored by the City. He felt coordination should be done with the School
Districts.

this.

J3. Councilmember Alexander asked for a report on what it would take, and the
cost to utilize recycled paper.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated that about one year ago a report came to the
Council stating that because of the facility the City was in and the inadequacy
of space, it was decided to wait until we moved to the new City Hall. He stated
the City is in the process of testing the paper to see which brand is compatible
with our machines.
Councilmember Alexander suggested that somewhere on the front of the paper it
should note that it is recycled paper.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated when the next budget is reviewed, staff intends
to point out the cost factors and what they would propose to purchase or not
purchase along with cost factors for the Council's consideration.
Mayor Stout stated he has a copy of a model ordinance from the National
Recycling Subcommittee of the National League of Cities which proposes an
alternate modification that would require recycling centers or facilities in
each multi-family housing type of unit, usually newer buildings, and also
commercial buildings. He stated he would like staff to see if it would be worth
doing this in Rancho Cucamonga. He asked if this would go to the Environmental
Management Commission or the Planning Commission.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated this particular issue would go to the Planning
Commission.
Mayor Stout suggested this be coordinated with the Environmental Management
Commission since they were working on recycling issues.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated this would be done.
Councilmember Wright arrived at 8:12 p.m.
