CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Adjourned Meeting
An adjourned meeting of the City Council of the City of Raneho Cucamonga was
held in the Lions Park Community Center, 9161 Base Line Road on Thursday, June
30, 1983. The meeting was called to order at 6:15 p.m. by Mayor Jon D.
MikeIs.
Present were: Councilmembers Richard M. Dahl, Charles J. Buquet II, James C.
Frost and Mayor Jon D. Mikeis. Absent: Councilman Phillip D. Schlosser.
Also present were: City Manager, Lauren Wasserman; Assistant City Manager,
Jim Robinson; Community Services Director, Bill Holley; Building Official,
Jerry Grant; City Engineer, Lloyd Hubbs; City Planner, Rick Gomez; Finance
Director, Harry Empey; Community Development Director, Jack Lam; and Captain
Tom Wickum, Sheriff's Department.
Mayor Mikeis requested that the City Manager present an overview of the
proposed budget for Fiscal Year 83-84. Mr. Wasserman stated as of 8:30 a.m.,
June 30, 1983, the State had not yet adopted a budget. He further stated that
the AB8 deflator would go into effect on July 1, 1983, unless it was
specifically repealed. The net effect of the implementation of the AB8
deflator would be an additional loss of City's revenues in the amount of
$885,398. These revenue losses would be $735,380 from the motor vehicle in
lieu funds and $150,018 from cigarette taxes for a total amount of subventions
lost of $885,398- The reductions, if implemented, combined with previous
reductions which are already reflected in the budget would bring a total
revenue reduction to $1.4 million for Fiscal Year 83-84.
Because of the uncertainty of the adoption of the State budget and its
possible impact on the City of Rancho Cucamonga, Mr. Wasserman recommended
that the following actions be taken by the City Council:
A. Adopt an Interim Program of Service for 1983, totalling~
$13,725,776, including all special funds.
Instruct staff to return with final budget once the State
budget has been adopted and the impact of that budget on
the City of Rancho Cucamonga has been determined.
C. Postpone the filling of all vacant or new positions until
the budget problems have been resolved.
D. Delay all expenditures for capital equipment until the
budget problems have been resolved.
E. Instruct City Manager to postpone all non-essential
expenditures.
Mr. Wasserman stated that there were additional modifications that needed to
be made to the proposed interim budget previously received by the City
Council. These included a $5,000 transfer in the Building and Safety
Department from Plan Check to overtime to cover plan check consultant work.
The second modification was to the Sheriff's budget which included an increase
of $4,770 to the fuel budget.
Motif: After considerable discussion of the City Manager's recommended
actions, as well as the two proposed amendments to the interim budget, a
motion was made by Dahl, seconded by Frost to recommend adoption of the
proposed interim budget as presented by staff in the amount of $13,725,776.
The motion to adopt the interim budget also included the adoption of the

Mayor Mikeis stated it was now necessary to conduct a public hearing to
determine the allocation of revenue sharing funds for Fiscal Year 83-84. Mr.
Mikeis stated it had been proposed that the Rancho Cucamonga's fair share of
the Revenue Sharing be allocated to the Sheriff's Department contract. This
item was opened for public input and no opposition was received regarding the
recommendation to allocate revenue sharing to cover a portion of the cost of
the Sheriff's contract.
Councilman Buquet expressed concern about ongoing programs such as the
Sheriff's Department services being funded by revenue that could possibly be
lost in the future.
The public hearing was closed with no opposition as noted.
Motion: A motion was made by Dahl, seconded by Buquet to adjourn to the
regularly scheduled City Council meeting of July 6, 1983, not to reeonvene.
