Committee Member Catuara apologized for once again requesting clarification pertaining to the City's contribution towards the operating budget. Director Layne explained the City's policy established by the City Council. Without further comments, Committee Member Marji moved to discuss Page 2 WEST-SIDE DISTRICTS CITIZENS' OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 18, 2018 PAGE 2 the approval of the written report to the City Council. A discussion ensued. Committee Member Marji agreed to present the report to the City Council on April 4, 2018. Committee Member Gilbert motioned to approve the report. Committee Member DeMauro seconded the motion and was unanimously approved by the Committee. C2. Discussion of Capital Improvement Project— Street Light Installations Director Welday informed the Committee of the administrative policy the Engineering Department is in the process of creating concerning the installation of new street lights in the City. The policy would consist of installing conduit under new sidewalks, but not installing the street lights, except where safety was an issue. The policy would apply to areas where budgets cannot currently absorb the additional cost of lights. The policy would include three different scenarios where the City would consider installing the street lights. The first would be incorporating new lighting to capital projects and, if applicable, asking the neighboring residents to annex into the district to offset the maintenance costs. The second would be if residents asked the City to install new street lights. The City would ask residents to assume the capital costs associated with the installation, as well as the on-going maintenance costs. The third would be having developers pay for the new street lights as a condition for a new development, which is currently implemented. A discussion ensued concerning the cost of new street lights, the on-going maintenance costs and the possibility of asking residents not paying into the district to annex into the district to pay for other costs, not just for the installation of new street lights. Staff to check if residents are able to voluntarily annex into the district, as well as the cost. C3. Discussion of Equestrian Ring at Heritage Park Director Wittkopf provided information pertaining to the request by the Alta Loma Riding Club to repair the deteriorating arenas at the Heritage Park Equestrian Center as a Capital Improvement Project (CIP). As proposed, the repairs would cost $20,000-$50,000; however, the amount could change if the request is added to the CIP list and were to go out for bid. Joe Cowan and John Sanchez from the Alta Loma Riding Club addressed the Committee explaining the deterioration of the arenas and safety concerns. They provided background information concerning the partnership between the City and the Riding Club. Committee Members expressed confusion about items other than the audit being brought before the Committee. Director Wittkopf explained the City's interest in obtaining the Committee's feedback prior to placing the Equestrian Center on the CIP list. C4. Discussion of Ball Field Lights at Old Town Park Director Wittkopf advised the Committee of the light bulbs for the light fixtures at the little league fields being discontinued and no longer available. Rather than purchasing new light fixtures, staff is proposing replacing with used ones — a very cost-effective solution. A discussion ensued. Director Wittkopf explained the City's interest in obtaining the Committee's feedback prior to proceeding with the light fixture replacement. The Committee agreed with staff's decision to save money, resolve a safety issue and continue to maintain a good partnership with the little league community. Page 3 WEST-SIDE DISTRICTS CITIZENS' OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 18, 2018 PAGE 3 C5. Discussion of Community Outreach Survey Staff presented the Committee with a printed copy of the survey they created with the corrections they requested. Director Layne asked what the,Committee's goal is and a discussion ensued. The Committee suggested adding field lighting, street lighting and equestrian arena/center to the survey to help identify the demand in the community. Staff to incorporate additional corrections and work with the Communications Division for suggested distribution manner and dates. Director Layne to email Survey Monkey link to Committee for distribution, along with recommendations from Communications Division. Staff to prepare distribution material for Committee. To avoid confusion, Directors Wittkopf and Welday to ensure no other surveys distributed by City at same time. C6.
