OBJECTIONS THERETO
MOTION: Moved by Brown, seconded by Alexander to approve the Consent Calendar
with the exception of items D7 and D10. Motion carried unanimously, 5-0, with
Councilmember Buquet abstaining on item D1.
, , , ,
DISCUSSION OF ITEM D7. Approval of updated current City Policy and Procedure for
various Landscape and Street Lighting Maintenance Districts within the City.
Councilwoman Wright stated she had concerns about this because since the City has
been working with the Landscape Maintenance Districts, they have tried to work
out any problems there have seen along the way. She felt she would like to see
all projects that the City is accepting to have all of the adjacent land
conditioned as part of their approval. She further asked if there was a method
by which the area annexed can be done in such a way that it is more feasible to
see maintenance used on an ongoing basis and to a higher degree. She asked if
we were biting off more than the City could chew with these districts. She asked
if there was a way to create a district not just for maintenance, but for some
of the capital improvements that might go along with some of the projects.
Russ Maguire, City Engineer, stated that most of Councilwoman Wrights' questions
are about the operational aspect of the annual approval of what is funded in a
district, and stated that what the City has had on an ongoing basis is a staff
policy how to handle annexation procedures as a technical matter. He stated that
because of the formation of two new districts and some change of laws, the City
has had some change in technical procedural policies as to how we annex areas
after the tracts are conditioned, after the Council approves the budget. He
stated as to if you can put capital into the district, that is a situation for
the annual approval of the budget.
Councilwoman Wright asked if we were getting all the developers involved in this.
Russ Maguire, City Engineer, stated every subdivision, every DR, MR, etc., with
the exception of a simple single family home on an old lot, is conditioned to
annex to a landscape district or lighting district. He stated that depending on
the policy that Council adopts, this will determine which one they go into. He
added that everyone goes into a lighting district.
City Council Minutes
September 20, 1989
Page 12
Councilwoman Wright asked if the policy determining which district new
development goes into has anything to do with what the Council is doing tonight.
Russ Maguire, City Engineer, stated no.
Councilwoman Wright stated that the questions she has deal with the philosophy
of the district, and asked if this should come back to the Council at a later
date. She added that the concept of everything going into District One is
something that she would like the Council to look at.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated that a couple of months ago an entire master plan
for all the districts was brought to the City Council which involved discussion
of where certain tracts or developments should go, not only for ease of
operations, but covered factors that relate to why one tract should go into a
certain district as opposed to another. He added that other operational issues
go and the levels of maintenance, etc., every budget year comes up with
priorities and so forth, and the Council has the opportunity to make changes to
the capital.
Mayor Stout stated that what he heard Councilwoman Wright saying was that in
previous years, the City has put everything in District One, and that maybe now
this needs to be looked into.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated this could be brought back so that this issue
could be clarified.
Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, stated he could bring this back at the
October 18 meeting, and could include the master plan in terms of landscape and
lighting districts and how they would be set up as far as what would be in each
of these, and that the Council could modify the districts at that time.
Mayor Stout stated he would be interested in this, especially Landscape
Maintenance District One.
Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, stated if the questions were only regarding
Landscape Maintenance District One, that this could come back at the October 4
meeting.
MOTION: Moved by Alexander, seconded by Wright to approve Consent Calendar
D7. Motion carried unanimously, 5-0.
DISCUSSION OF ITEM D10. Approval of Community Trail Fence Standards.
Councilwoman Wright asked for clarification on the PVC that is installed and
whether it would only be four feet high.
Brad Buller, City Planner, stated that the standard before the Council is for the
normal situation for a community railing on a community trail. He stated that
in the situation regarding the Sapphire Trail, it would be the lower standard of
36 inches. He stated if sight problems existed, the lower standards would apply.
City Council Minutes
September 20, 1989
Page 13
Councilwoman Wright asked if this standard was going shorter or higher than what
we currently have.
Brad Buller, City Planner, stated it is shorter than the normal railing for a
community trail that has the proper width and proper dimensions, but that it is
a little higher than the ones where we have to modify it in order to meet sight
line, such as we did on Sapphire.
MOTION: Moved by Alexander, seconded by Wright to approve Consent Calendar D10.
Motion carried unanimously, 5-0.

H4. CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED SEWER ASSESSMENT DISTRICT BY CUCAMONGA COUNTY
WATER DISTRICT Staff report presented by Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager.
(0401-03 ASS DIST)
Councilwoman Wright asked why this was being brought to the City Council and does
it have anything to do with looking at the overall burden of assessment districts
being placed on a property. She further asked that if it does have something to
do with this, has the City made sure that it is not going over the 2%. She asked
if there is a problem, does it become a City Council problem because the City has
allowed it to go over that or get close to that.
Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, stated that this does give City Council more
control in terms of what is going on within the City in terms of the amount of
taxes on properties within it. Also, it gives the City Council a better view of
City Council Minutes
September 20, 1989
Page 17
the big picture in terms of assessment districts, so that if the citizens were
to have any question or concerns they could also present those to City Council,
and they could be answered from the viewpoint that they have had some knowledge
of what was going on.
He continued with the second question about going over the 2% by stating
that within an assessment district this is not applicable, it is more like a
debt, and that bonds would be sold, and the property owners would pay that debt
over a certain period of time. He also stated that this district is somewhat
different than most districts because the property owners thus far, or at least
a certain percentage of them, have approached the Water District asking that they
consider to form this district because they aren't satisfied with their current
sewer system. He added the Water District will go through the proceedings and
public hearing, and that at that point, if a majority of property owners come
forward and say they are not interested in forming this district, then it would
behoove them not to form it.
In answer to the third question, there would probably be some impact on the
City Council in the sense that if a large majority of the property owners were
to come and say they do not want to form this district, and the Water District
wants to go ahead, the residents might approach the Council stating that they are
not being sensitive to their needs.
Mayor Stout asked if this is put in the backbone as far as the sewer system, and
then the resident pays a connection fee to hook into it.
George Blanchard, Cucamonga County Water District, stated what would happen if
this were to go through, is they would form an assessment district which involves
31 lots in this particular area, and that approximately 50% of those lots have
indicated they do want sewers. He further stated they would assume that if they
were to go and put this in that they would service approximately 50% of that
area, and that in time the others would come in.

ENFORCEMENT COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT 88-2 PROPOSED BOUNDARY Staff report
presented by Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager. (0702-02 ANNEXATION) (0403-01
COM FOC DI)
Councilwoman Wright asked if we have looked at other methods of funding law
enforcement.
(ss)
City Council Minutes
September 20, 1989
Page 18
Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, stated that staff has looked at a number of
alternatives; and that currently by looking at the property tax we receive, if
we look at a $6.3 million budget, that leaves $5 million which needs to be funded
from other sources. He stated those other sources are sales tax and other
revenue sources, just to be able to fund what we currently have. He felt the
problem was that law enforcement takes up approximately 25% to 33% of the general
fund budget. He felt if this was to increase by 10% per year, the City would be
looking at a $600,000.00 increase annually, which is being very conservative.
He stated a Mello-Roos can only be formed to cover new costs. He felt if costs
keep growing and the City does not capture any other revenue sources, at some
point in time even a Mello-Roos would not be applicable.
Councilwoman Brown asked why the industrial area is not included.
Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, stated that if we did have any industrial in
this area, that it would be included, but added we do not have any industrial.
Councilwoman Brown felt it should be the City's responsibility to pay for law
enforcement services in this particular area.
Councilwoman Wright asked if we could annex some of the industrial area in the
southern portion of the City into this district.
Warren Diven, Brown & Diven, stated that to the extent there is an identifiable
vacant area in the southern portion of the City, and you can identify the
additional police services you would provide to that area, over-and-above what
is provided at the present time, then you could annex that area to the community
facilities district.
Councilwoman Wright asked if we are showing over-and-above what is being
allocated to the northeast section.
Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, stated yes.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated this is an effort to look at developing properties
and saying that if these properties are developing, these areas are creating
additional needs for additional services which are not otherwise funded by other
revenue sources, that are not growing. He further stated that the concept here
is new development creates this need for additional law enforcement services, and
that is why we annually have this budget growth within the law enforcement area.
He added new development ought to contribute in this way. He said it becomes a
policy question as to what extent new development should contribute toward the
cost of new law enforcement services.
Councilwoman Brown asked if when someone purchases a home are they given
information as to what their assessment district fees are, etc., and asked if
incorporated in that, would there be an explanation of the percentage rate that
it could go up per annum, so that the people would be well aware, up front, so
they know that the bottom rate could be whatever and the upper rate could be
whatever, each year for five years.
City Council Minutes
September 20, 1989
Page 19
Warren Diven, Brown & Diven, stated there is a Notice of Special Tax Lien which
would indicate the tax rate formula, giving minimum and maximum rates for each
year. He stated the Notice also gives a name and number at City Hall to contact
for further questions.
Mayor Stout stated he likes staff's approach to this item and that this concept
makes sense to him because of the increase in services in this area. He felt
this area should pay above-and-beyond what others are paying because of the
circumstances.
Councilman Alexander asked if this would coincide with the Fire District
boundaries.
Dennis Michael, Fire Chief, stated they were the same.
Councilman Buquet stated his concern is that we are putting an assessment on
everything that is needed. He further stated he felt something needed to be
done, but wasn't sure if this was the thing to do.
Councilwoman Wright stated she is uncomfortable with this and was against it.
She stated she did not like the additional costs being added to these people, and
did not like how the boundaries were set up to pay for the taxes. She did not
feel we should raise someone's taxes when they do not even live there yet. She
felt this was unfair, and she would like other options to be looked into. She
further stated if the City feels they cannot serve this area, they should not let
a developer build there.
Councilwoman Brown stated her concern is taxing people before they move in. She
felt this was the wrong thing to do. She further stated she felt this area
should be annexed, but that there should be another way to pay.
Councilman Alexander stated that the Council should have said these things a long
time ago before staff spent so much time on this.
Councilman Buquet stated he felt we needed to look at what the long term needs
will be. He further added he did not feel assessment districts were the answer
to solving the financial problems of the City.
Mayor Stout asked Councilman Buquet if he would go along with this until further
research could be done.
Councilman Buquet stated yes, but that he definitely felt staff should go back
and look into this.
MOTION: Moved by Alexander, seconded by Buquet to approve the policy on
annexations of future developments into the Law Enforcement Community Facilities
District 88-2 proposed boundary, with this to be reviewed in 60 days. Motion
carried 3-2 (Brown, Wright no).

I1. STATUS REPORT ON NORDIC DEVELOPMENT (Oral Report) (Continued from
September 6, 1989) Staff report presented by Jerry Grant, Building Official, who
reported the number of complaints they have received and taken care of since the
Mayor's letter was sent out. He added they have attempted to contact all the
complaining parties and felt some progress has been made, although it is slow.
He informed the Council that 1/3 of the customer service complaints have been
taken care of. (0807-01 CODE BLDG)
Mayor Stout asked why progress was moving so slow.
Jerry Grant, Building Official, stated it was his opinion that the people working
on the project are not very knowledgeable in construction. He felt the
subcontractor's workmanship is poor.
Councilman Buquet felt a status report should be brought back at the next meeting
and continue with the progress reports.
Councilman Alexander referred to the Ordinance Chino has on quality of
workmanship, and stated he would like the next update to include something about
this.
Jerry Grant, Building Official, mentioned he felt there were some problems with
Chino's Ordinance.
Councilman Alexander stated Bob Warner at the City of Chino felt this Ordinance
was now starting to work.
Mayor Stout suggested this be given to the City Attorney to review the language.
Councilman Buquet agreed.
Both Councilwomen Brown and Wright concurred with Councilman Alexander's
recommendation.
Mayor Stout asked if there were a couple members of the City Council that would
like to act as a subcommittee to work with the residents.
Council concurred that Councilman Buquet and Councilwoman Brown would act as the
subcommittee and Councilman Alexander as the alternate to work with the
residents.
ACTION: Report received and filed with a progress report to come back at the
next meeting. Staff to set up meetings with the residents and the Council
subcommittee (Buquet and Brown).

12. CONSIDERATION OF ESTABLISHING A CITIZENS ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
COMMISSION - Recommendation to transition the Citizens Advisory Commission to an
Environmental Commission. Staff report presented by Diane O'Neal, Administrative
Analyst. (0701-01 COMMISSION)
Mayor Stout asked if the Advisory Commission members felt their issues could be
handled by the other commissions.
Diane O'Neal, Administrative Analyst, stated yes, they did.
Mayor Stout asked Advisory Commissioner Ray McIlvain if he wanted to add
anything.
Ray McIlvain, Advisory Commissioner, stated he felt Ms. O'Neal had covered
everything.
Councilwoman Brown asked if it would be legal to advertise for the additional
members prior to the second reading of the Ordinance.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated yes.
MOTION: Moved by Brown, seconded by Alexander for staff to proceed with
transitioning the Citizens Advisory Commission to the Citizens Environmental
Management Commission.
Councilman Buquet stated he is voting against this because he felt the Citizens
Advisory Commission could handle the environmental issues, and still leave the
Commission as is. He stated he is against the transition because of the
background of the Advisory Commission.
Councilwoman Wright stated that because of the number of specific concerns
regarding environmental issues, that was the reason why she felt this was
appropriate.
Motion carried 4-1 (Buquet, no).
I3. CONSIDERATION OF AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 10-A PERTAINING TO SALARIES FOR
MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL (0502-04 SALARY CC)
Councilman Alexander stated he is not doing this for himself or any other member
of the current Council, but for future Councils. He stated that although what
a Councilmember does is voluntary, he felt they should receive more compensation
for what is involved and the time they give up with their families. He felt the
salary for Planning Commission and other elected officials should also be looked
at. He suggested raising the Council salary up to $500.

Councilwoman Brown stated she ran for City Council because of her commitment to
the community, not for the money. She stated she felt the residents should
decide what amount the City Council should make.
Councilwoman Wright added that she is not in favor of raising the City Council
salaries, and that her position has not changed.
Mayor Stout stated the proposed salary increase would not be going to him because
he would not be running for office again. He felt a City Councilmember certainly
earns their salary and that possibly there would be some people interested in
running that might not otherwise be able to afford it if the salary was
increased. He added he was in favor of the proposed Ordinance.
Debra J. Adams, City Clerk, read the title of Ordinance No. 10-B.

priority on the use of the remaining funds.

Development has.
