Approval to Ratify Library Board's Action to Amend the Library
Foundation's Bylaws to Replace the Position of Library Board
Member as Director to "At-Large" Community Member and Re-Appoint
Paul Paehon and Rene Barnett to the Library Foundation Board of
Directors
Recommendation
Approve Library Board's direction to amend the Library Foundation's Bylaws as above and Re-
appoint Paula Pachon and Rene Barnett to the Foundation Board of Directors.
Background
At the Library Board of Director's meeting held September 8, 1997, the Board approved amending
the Library Foundation's Bylaws to reflect removing the position of Library Board Member and
replacing that position with an "At-Large" Community Member. Under this action, the current
make-up of the Library Foundation Board of Directors will be as follows:
8 "At-Large" Community Members Appointed by City Council
1 Member of the Friends of the Library Appointed by the President of that Organization
Also, at the City Council's September 3, 1997 meeting, the Council filled the 2 vacancies with
Marcia E. Newman and Dr. James Brown. The "At-Large" Community Member appointed was
Rebecca Davies, formerly a Library Board of Directors Member. Additionally, at the City Council's
September 3, 1997 meeting, Staff needed to have the Council re-appoint Paul Pachon and Rene
Bamett as recommended by the Library Foundation Ad Hoc Committee. Staff forgot to add that to

APPROVAL TO APPROPRIATE $28,060.00 FROM FUND 21-4647-9120
PURSUANT TO REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT SRA-23, FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF MEDIAN ISLAND LANDSCAPING ALONG BASE LINE
ROAD, WEST OF ETIWANDA AVENUE (WORK HAS BEEN COMPLETED)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve an appropriation of $28,060.00 for Fund 21-4647-
9120 for reimbursement for frontage improvements per Reimbursement Agreement SRA-23, Tract
15732, submitted by Lewis Homes Enterprises, Developer.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
At its meet~fig of August 6, 1997, City Council approved Resolution 97-103 for Reimbursement
Agreement SRA-23 between Lewis Homes Enterprises, Developer, and the City. The Developer
had completed construction of the Base Line Road median island landscaping from Swanson Place
to Etiwanda Avenue as conditioned for Tract 15732. The City has agreed to reimburse the
Developer, as fees are collected, with respect to the properties that benefit from the median
construction. On January 24, 1990, the City received a deposit of in lieu fees for the median island
landscaping from The Barmakian Company. The deposit was placed in the beautification account.
At this time, staff feels that reimbursing the Developer their portion of said in lieu fees, as outlined
in Reimbursement Agreement SRA-23, is appropriate. Reimbursement Agreement SRA-23 cost
breakdown shows $28,060.00 needs to reimbursed at this time. Future reimbursements will be
distributed as development occurs and in lieu fees are collected.

APPROVAL OF TRAFFIC SAFETY PROJECT AGREEMENT AND DIRECTING THE
CITY ENGINEER TO EXECUTE SAID AGREEMENT WITH THE CALIFORNIA
STATE OFFICE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY AND APPROPRIATE $35,000.00 FOR A
GRANT TO CREATE A COMPUTERIZED COLLISION DATABASE AND
ANALYSIS SYSTEM
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the Traffic Safety Project Agreement and direct the City
Engineer to execute said agreement with the California State Office of Traffic Safety and appropriate
$35,000.00 for a grant to create a Computerized Collision Database and Analysis System.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Late last year, it came to our attention that a computerized system was available that would allow the
Traffic Management Section, through increased efficiency in the processing of collision reports and other
data, to reduce the frequency and severity of traffic collisions throughout the city. Our existing system
utilizes spreadsheets and, while it is able to be used to generate data for use in reports, is very time
intensive and is not solely dedicated to the task.
We became aware of the opportunity to apply for a grant through the California State Office of Traffic
Safety (OTS) that would pay for the setup and components of such a system. On January 29, 1997 a
Memorandum Proposal was submitted to OTS and on June 17, 1997 we were notified of the tentative
approval of our proposal. Final approval depends on the submittal of a timely and acceptable project
agreement and the successful negotiation of goals and objectives. The agreement, goals and objectives will
be finalized with OTS after execution of the agreement and its submittal with the accompanying resolution.

APPROVAL TO EXECUTE CONTRACT WITH
COMMUNICATIONS SUPPORT CORPORATION TO CONDUCT
A PERFORMANCE AUDIT OF MARKS CAIllJEVISION
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of a contract with Communications
Support Corporation to conduct a performance audit of the City's local cable operator, Marks
Cablevision.
BACKGROUND/ANAI,YSIS:
In the Spring of the year 2000, the City's Franchise Agreement with, Marks Cablevision, our local
cable operator, will expire. In response to Marks Cablevision formal request to renew its franchise
agreement with the City, the City is obligated to begin an "Initial Proceeding," as required by the
Cable Communications Act of 1984, Subsection 546, as amended in 1992. This "proceeding"
requires a Franchise Authority to review its cable operator's past performance and identify cable-
related community needs. In most cases, an engineering/technical consultant is hired to conduct a
performance audit in order to gauge the technical quality of the cable operator's system and provide
guidance to the City as to the quality and quantity of renewal requirements in the area of engineering
design and configuration.
After reviewing several proposals, staff has concluded that Communications Support Corporation
is the most qualified consulant to perform a technical inspection of Marks Cablevision for the most
reasonable cost. For your review, attached is a copy of Communications Support Corporation's
proposal and statement of qualifications. The cost of the performance audit will be approximately
$8,250. Additional meetings with City Officials and/or staff will be billed at the rate of $125 per
hour.

History and Experience of CSC

Introduction
Communications Support Corporation is very pleased to submit this Proposal and
Statement of Qualifications to the City of Rancho Cucamonga in connection with its
review of Marks Cable.
Background
CSC is headed by Mr. Jonathan L. Kramer, FIAE who formed CSC's predecessor in
1984.
Since 1984, we've provided municipal governments with comprehensive and clear
technical and operating evaluations of cable television systems. We provide our clients
with professional and thorough franchise supervision, enforcement, and negotiation
services related to municipal communications issues.
In 1987, we incorporated in California, where we maintain our office in Encino, a
suburb of Los Angeles. Our work for Rancho Cucamonga will be coordinated through
the Encino office.
We've successfully completed over two hundred major government consulting
assignments, similar or essentially identical to the services requested by Rancho

Plan To Accomplish The Engagement
Consistent with our understanding of what Rancho Cucamonga wishes to learn about
Marks' technical performance and related system issues, we propose to provide the
services listed in this section in connection with our inspection of Marks Cable in
Rancho Cucamonga.
Review of Latest Proof-of-Performance and Signal Leakage Data
We will review and comment on Marks' Summer 1996 and Winter 1997 (and, if
available, their Summer 1997) FCC Proof-of-Performance reports. We'll analyze
Marks' performance against the FCC standards in the rules that govern technical
operations.
Additionally, we'll review and comment on Marks' 1995, 1996, and (if available) 1997
FCC Form 320 Basic Signal Leakage Performance Reports for compliance with the
FCC rules.
Physical Plant Inspections - Subscriber Network
To assess the physical condition of Marks' new-build and old systems within the
boundaries of the City, we propose to perform a series of inspections at no fewer than
200 representative cable trunk and distribution locations throughout Marks' subscriber
plant within the service areas of the City.
This 200 point inspection may, at our option, be substituted with a drive-out of no
fewer than 15% of the total plant trunk mileage if we believe that a plant drive-out will
yield more useful information for the City.
The physical evaluation will allow us to assess and quantify the following items:
Corrosion and/or other damage due to water ingress and/or other environmen-
tal impacts
Analysis of overhead and underground construction techniques in the new-
build and old-plant areas, and their impact on reliable system operation
consistent with the requirements of CPUC General Order 95, covering
overhead communications systems construction in public and private rights-
of-way
Evaluation of plant bonding, consistent with the National Electrical Code
(City-adopted or current edition) which is necessary to inhibit, for example,
outages due to stray electrical currents
Power supply construction and safety
Estimates of upgrades necessary to correct any physical defects or
deterioration noted during the inspection.

Assessment ofheadenc[ over-the-air antenna, and satellite antenna
construction issue
· Other items deemed pertinent to reliable system operation.
Photographic documentation may be included as an attachment to our written
report to illustrate specific findings and/or violations.
Grounding Inspection - Subscriber Network
To provide the City with an initial assessment of Marks' level of compliance with its
obligation to ground its subscriber drops, we'll inspect subscriber drop locations
throughout the City. We'll determine if Marks has complied with the requirements of
the City's electrical code based on the NEC 820-40 standard.
Electrical Plant Testing - Subscriber Network
A proof-of-performance test shall be completed at twelve (12) subscriber network
distribution locations in the cable system. The locations selected will be different
from those locations selected for physical inspections (see above).
The signal quality at the locations will be inspected by Marks Cable under our
supervision as set forth below. The locations will be representative of the entire
system, and will include, but not be limited to, end of line locations, and the last
reasonably accessible tap on the longest amplifier and line extender cascade.
A written report, including an executive report, detailing objective technical findings
supporting objective and subjective conclusions will be submitted to Rancho
Cucamonga.
Rancho Cucamonga should direct Marks to provide its local system technical staff to
conduct the technical tests set out in this section. By having Marks' staff perform the
tests under our supervision, we will also be able to evaluate the technical skills
possessed by the people who are charged with maintaining the quality of service. Also,
when Marks performs tests using their own staff and equipment, it precludes them
from later claiming that the tests were performed inaccurately, or that the equipment
used was improperly calibrated.
CSC has used this technique for more than 98% of its plant testing during the past 13
years. Our methods, proposed in this document (and specifically in this section), make
Marks--not Rancho Cucamonga-qhe critical link in accuracy and in responsibility.
Test Equipment Calibration
Before the commencement of testing, we will ask Marks Cable to present us with
current calibration certificates issued by an independent calibration laboratory for all
frequency/voltage sensitive equipment that will be used in the field testing.
Testing of Subscriber Tap Locations
As noted above, all testing shall be performed by Marks' technical staff under our
supervision. Tests shall be performed at subscriber taps under the conditions found.
CSC's PROPOSAL AND QUALIFICATIONS TO SERVE RANClIO CI:CAMONG:M CALIFORNIA-- PAGE 6
These are the logical locations for testing since they are the points to which residential
subscriber network users are connected. Additionally, under the FCC technical rules,
tests are to be made at these points.
To insure that our report reflects the true condition of the system, we shall not permit
Marks Cable to correct problems found during the course of testing until all data for the
failing site is collected.
Simulation of Standard Subscriber Cable Drop
Marks shall connect the subscriber tap or service point output to the test equipment
input via a 30-meter swept RG-59 or RG-56 subscriber drop cable (the length of cable
specified in the FCC rules). This procedure allows us to simulate and document the
actual signal levels provided to typical subscribers, usually without interrupting
service.
We may provide photographs of the test sites as an attachment to the written report to
be submitted to Rancho Cucamonga.
Description of Distribution Tests to be Performed
The following tests shall be perf6rmed at each of the distribution test points inspected
permitting us to evaluate and report on the technical performance of Marks' system:
Visual (Picture Signal) Carrier Levels On Each Activated Channel
This measurement assesses compliance with FCC Part 76 Subpart K rules
governing the minimum signal level permitted at a subscriber's television
antenna terminals.
Aural (Sound Signal) Carrier Levels On Each Activated Channel
This measurement assesses compliance with FCC Part 76 Subpart K rules
governing the minimum signal level permitted at a subscriber's television
antenna terminals. Audio levels that fall outside this permitted range can
cause audio distortions or interference to the upper adjacent channel picture
quality.
Peak-To-Valley On The Entire Band Of Activated Channels
This is a summation assessment which provide data about both the physical
and electrical conditions of Marks' plant. Major physical and/or electrical
defects are quickly and clearly identified by this test. Performing this test also
permits us to detect system adjustment problems, based on the performance of
the system in the next section.
Adjacent Channel Video Difference On Activated Channels
Another summation assessment, the adjacent channel video difference is
computed to assess adherence to the FCC's rules designed to maintain'video
signals on all adjacent channels within a certain range.
CSC's PROPOSAL AND QUAI,IFICATIONS TO SERVE R:'XNCHO CUCa, MONGA. C.M. IFORNIA- PAGE 7
C5C
Some older television tuners can fail to "lock" onto a channel properly if this
specification is greatly exceeded.
Carrier-to-Noise Ratio
Universally regarded by industry engineers as the most critical picture-
impacting specification, the Carrier-to-Noise ratio quantifies the amount of
"snow" seen in a television picture.
Low Frequency Distortions ("HUM'~)
Hum is seen in pictures as one or two wide horizontal bars traveling upward
through the picture. It is usually caused by defective or inadequate cable
system electrical powering, filtering, corroded connectors, and/or grounding.
Intermodulation Distortions
These distortions are commonly seen as a "busy" picture background, usually
as herringbone or diagonal line patterns. They are caused by the television
channels intermixing within the field amplifiers. SomeXimes, these distortions
are caused when a cable operator provides its set-top converters with too
much signal.
RF Signal Leakage Evaluation
The FCC sets strict limits for signal leakage from cable systems. The specific
limits are frequency dependent. Excess signal leakage can cause interference
to other radio services, including military and civilian aircraft, police, fu'e,
amateur, and business radio users.
Rating of Picture Distortions On All Activated Channels
An evaluation of a cable television system is not truly complete without a
visual inspection of the picture. We use the industry-standard six-step rating
scale derived from the FCC's TASO subjective rating scale.
Assessment of Maintenance Program and Grantee Technical Competence
Performing the tests identified above will enable us to assess and report on
Marks' maintenance procedures, and the technical competence of their staff.
By discussing discrepancies noted during the plant inspection, we assess their
ability to reason and troubleshoot plant problems.

Signal Quality Measurements to be Made at the Headend for Satellite Services, Locally
Originated, and Over-the-Air Broadcast Television Stations
Prior to the Subscriber Network dislribution plant testing described above. we will
observe, document, and report on the following parameters, measured at each of the
headends;
Video carrier levels and picture quality on all
channels
· Audio carrier levels on all channels leaving the headend
· FM radio carrier levels, if any
Functionality of the emergency override system, status monitoring system,
and standby powering system, if any
Visual evaluation of all channels leaving the headend
Using the methods we've described above, we've conducted thousands of test point
measurements in over one hundred major inspection projects since 1984. Our extensive
experience conducting system evaluations will permit us to complete your assignment without
unusual problems or unnecessary delays.

SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF ISSUANCE OF INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BONDS FOR
VANGUARD TOOL AND MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC.
RECOMMENDATION
1)
2)
3)
Conduct a Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) Public Hearing with respect
to the proposed issuance of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds for the purpose of
financing certain facilities owned and operated by Vanguard Tool and Manufacturing
Company, Inc.
Adopt the attached Resolution approving, authorizing and directing execution of an
Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement relating to the California
Statewide Communities Development Authority.
Adopt the attached Resolution approving the issuance of not to exceed $5,000,000
aggregate principal amount of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds.
BACKGROUND
Vanguard Tool and Manufacturing Company, Inc., a Rancho Cucamonga manufacturer since
1984, desires to expand its operations in order to increase its production capability. The
company is requesting the City's assistance in obtaining financing for the project expansion.
On August 21, 1997, staff was contacted by Steven Hamill of the California Statewide
Communities Development Authority, regarding holding a Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility
Act (TEFRA) hearing on behalf of Vanguard Tool and Manufacturing Company, Inc.
(Vanguard). The firm wishes to pursue the expansion using Industrial Development Bonds
(IDB's) as the financing mechanism. A TEFRA Hearing, conducted by the City, is required in
order to issue the IDB's.
Description of the IDB program:
IDB's are a form of tax-exempt financing aimed at assisting manufacturers. A manufacturer
may borrow between $1 million and $10 million to finance its expansion. Borrowed funds are
generated through the sale of bonds. Bond proceeds may be used to purchase land, buildings
and/or equipment. Public agencies, such as the City of Rancho Cucamonga, provide the
structure for issuing the tax-exempt bonds. As a result, the borrower can obtain financing at
rates that are less than conventional financing.
ANALYSIS
Vanguard Tool and Manufacturing Company, Inc. is a manufacturer of specialized metal
products for file folders. The firm desires to expand its operations through the purchase of
property and construction of a new 96,000 square-foot facility in Rancho Cucamonga.
Vanguard currently employs a highly skilled labor force of 43 employees and manufactures its
products in four buildings totaling 50,000 square-feet. The company runs three shifts to keep
up with customer demand. The company plans to expand its work force by 15 new hires
resulting in a local staff of 58 employees.
September 17, 1997
Staff Report - Issuance of Industrial Development Bonds (Vanguard)
Page 2
Vanguard has made application to the California Statewide Communities Development
Authority (CSCDA) to issue its Industrial Development Bonds (IDB's). The CSCDA is a
statewide issuer of IDB's and other municipal and public benefit bonds. The CSCDA may issue
tax-exempt bonds to promote economic development if the local governing body (in Vanguard's
case, the City of Rancho Cucamonga) approves the project financing. The CSCDA creates a
Joint Powers Agreement with the local government in order to establish a structure for the
financing. This structure will remain in place and may be used by other businesses desiring to
expand or locate in Rancho Cucamonga. Currently over 100 cities and 40 counties have
established JPAs with the CSCDA (see attachment to JPA Agreement).
In order to approve the project financing the City must perform three actions:
1)
Hold a TEFRA Hearing, providing reasonable opportunity for the public to comment on
the issuance of the Bonds and the nature and location of the project.
The TEFRA Hearing is required under Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 requiring the proposed financing be approved by the governmental agency having
jurisdiction over the area in which the facility to be financed is located. A financing will be
treated as having been approved by the applicable governmental agency after a public
hearing following reasonable notice.
2)
Approve a resolution that authorizes the execution of documents creating a JPA with the
CSCDA.
3) Approve a resolution authorizing the issuance of the IDB's.
It is not necessary for the Council to conduct a public hearing in order to create the JPA with
the CSCDA but a hearing is required to authorize the issuance of the IDB's. However, to
facilitate the issuance of the bonds, staff suggests that the Council conduct the public hearing
allowing comments regarding both the creation of the JPA with the CSCDA and the issuance of
the IDB's.
The City or the CSCDA do not guarantee the bonds, once issued, nor is there any contingent
liability to either organization. The definition of approving the project financing refers to
financing only. Approval of the project financing does not include approval of the project at the
development services level (i.e. planning, building, and fire). Vanguard will pursue development
services approvals independently of the IDB issuance.

MEETING OF THE ROUTE 30 TASK FORCE
On September 9, 1997, the Route 30 Task Force convened in the Tri-Communities Room in City
Hall. There were eleven (11) Task Force members in attendance. Fifty-Three (53) members from
the area surrounding the proposed Carnelian/Route 30 Freeway Interchange were also present.
Since there was such a large crowd representing the Carnelian area, Chairman Alexander
recommended the issue concerning Carnelian be taken first, so as to not inconvenience the large
crowd waiting to be heard on that issue.
The group submitted a petition signed by 244 residents requesting the Task Force to reconsider the
Carnelian Interchange.
The Chairman made opening comments regarding the Carnelian interchange explaining the Task
Force over the last three years has spent a consid~able amount of time on the Carnelian and the
other interchanges in Rancho Cucamonga. The Chairman indicated the Task Force made the
recommendation to City Council to include five interchanges to the Route 30 Freeway in Rancho
Cucamonga. One of those interchanges was at Camdian. City Council has approved the Task Force
recommendation and executed a Freeway Agreement with Caltrans for inclusion of the interchanges.
The City Engineer asked Dave Moore, Recreation Superintendent, Community Services Department,
to give a brief description of the actions taken to reduce the traffic impact at Beryl Park. Mr. Moore
indicated certain activities at the park have been adjusted to eliminate a parking impact. As far as
staff is aware, the rescheduling of events has eliminated a parking problem. Mr. Moore responded
to several questions from the Task Force regarding this issue. The Task Force expressed some
concern that in the future parking may again be a problem. Staff responded it can be dealt with at
that time. However, at this time the staff does not foresee problems rearising. Mr. Moore pointed
out the City is providing new venues for play which should help keep the problems at Beryl to a
minimum.
Since many in the audience had additional questions, the Chairman asked the City Engineer to
briefly recap the process and the reasons why the Carnelian interchange was recommended. The
City Engineer recapped the major issues regarding interchanges including access, crime, traffic and

equity. Five (5) interchanges are recommended to reduce major impacts at any one location. After
the City's Engineer's presentation the Chairman opened the meeting for questions from the audience.
The Chairman and City Engineer responded to questions from the audience. When questions from
the audience were completed, Task Force Members Beckner, Coberly, Hinazumi and Schmauss
addressed the audience expressing their feelings regarding the interchange issues. The Task Force
members pointed out over the last three years the Task Force has since spent considerable time
discussing and debating these issues and has challenged staff to provide the information necessary
to arrive at an equitable decision regarding the interchanges. It was the consensus of the Task Force
the issue of interchanges not be reconsidered; however, the Task Force is still willing to look at
mitigation issues at the Carnelian/Route 30 location.
Chairman Alexander closed the meeting indicating to the audience the City will research the legal
status of the Freeway Agreement, which has been executed by the City, and will respond by letter
to all members of the audience who signed the sign-up sheet.
Due to the lateness of the hour, the Chairman requested the Task Force approve carrying over the
remaining items on the agenda to the next meeting. Due to the holiday in November, the Task Force
will meet the first Tuesday in November, November 4, 1997, at 6:00 p.m. in the Tri-Communities
Room to consider the items carried forward from this meeting.

Route 30 Task Force Committee
Residents of Carnelian/19th Street Neighborhood
Route 30 Camdian Interchange
After considering the facts presented to the community in regard to the proposed off-ramp at Carnelian and
19th Street, it is our opinion that the Route 30 Task Force Committee should reconsider their position.
Many of the residents have expressed the following concerns:
· Traffic Safety
Although the city representatives have expressed their concern for the safety of residents,
members of the communi~ have, for the past several years, requested the installation of a
signal light at Carnelian School. This should have been a high priority, yet nothing has been
initiated. Consequently, there are concerns that safety issues are subordinate to other
issues.
The proposed Carnelian off-ramp will substantially increase traffic flow and will make
access from side streets much more difficult. Currently there are signal controlled
intersections on Carnelian at Lemon and 19th. With three tightly clustered signals necessary
to control the on and off traffic for the freeway, the north and south traffic on Carnelian will
be greatly affected. ..,
· Accessibility
· Crime
The parking at West Beryl Park is woefully inadequate and people are forced to park their
vehicles along Highland Avenue and the adjacent cul-de-sacs. Visitors cross Carnelian at a
comer that is designated as a crossing for the park, but currently there are no painted
crosswalks. The increase in traffic will aggravate the problem and will pose additional risks
to children and young adults who must cross Carnelian to gain access to the park.
Absent any available study or research that would show an increase in crime in the
immediate area surrounding a freeway on and off-ramp, common sense dictates that with
the three banks, several large markets, liquor stores and other small retail businesses
concentrated at 19th and Carnelian the opportunity for crime related problems will increase
dramatically.
The residents of Rancho Cucamonga are proud of their city and realize that the freeway will bring new
prosperity. However, given that an off-ramp is being constructed at Campus, we feel that the proposed
off-ramp at Carnelian is unnecessary and may threaten many of the reasons why we enjoy living here.

APPROVAL TO ENTER INTO ESCROW FOR THE SALE OF SURPLUS
PROPERTY AT 111 N. GROVE AVENUE KNOWN AS "THE GROVE YARD"
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize staff to solicit sealed bids for the sale of the
subject property with a minimum bid the City will accept of $80,000.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
On September 3, 1997, Council approved continuing the sale of the Grove Yard to September 17,
1997, since there were two legitimate offers for the property at $80,000. Staff was directed to
prepare a chronological accounting of events undertaken in the proposed sale of the Yard. The
chronological accounting is attached. -"
The current appraisal estimates the property value to be between $65,000 and $85,000.
It is staff's recommendation the City direct the consultant broker to terminate all negotiations with
all parties to date. The property for sale would then be advertised in local newspapers and trade
publications, with a sealed bid delivery date to the City Clerk of 2:00 PM, October 22, 1997. At that
time the bids will be opened, and the highest bidder's proposal presented to City Council on
November 5, 1997, for consideration.

RAILS TO TRAILS - SOUTHERN PACIFIC LINE
RECOMMENDATION: The following actions are recommended:
1. Appoint a subcommittee to work with SANBAG and other cities to pursue funding sources.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga should become a member of the Rails-to-Trails
Conservancy (see Exhibit "B").
The Subcommittee and staff attend the First International Trails and Greenways
Conference sponsored by RTC on January 28-31 1998 (see Exhibit "C").
BACKGROUND: Since the adoption of the General Plan in 1981, the City has had a vision of
creating a multi-use Community Trail along the So~hern Pacific Rail (SPRR) Line. This multi-use
Community Trail would include a Class I Bike Path and a hiking/equestrian trail. The former
Southern Pacific Railroad line bisects the City from east to west, roughly paralleling Base Line
Road for most of its 7.5 mile length (see map in Exhibit "A"). The corridor adjoins Central Park.
RAILS-TO-TRAILS: Under the National Trails Act of 1983, railroad companies can be compelled
to "railbank" abandoned segments against possible future rail need. In the meantime, they can be
publicly managed as trails. The Rails-To-Trails Conservancy (RTC) was formed in 1985 to assist
local governments in creating trails on unused rail corridors. RTC has successfully established
close to 1,000 rail-trails in 48 states stretching 10,000 miles. The Southern Pacific Railroad
Company agreed to notifythe Rails-To-Trails Conservancy of rail abandonments six months before
they are officially filed. RTC has pledged, in turn, to notify cities so that each abandonment can
be analyzed for its value as a trail.
CURRENT STATUS: SANBAG does not intend to abandon the corridor. The tracks are inactive,
but not yet abandoned, despite the removal of the track and ties. The line was sold in April 1991
to the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority, and is operated by the Southern California
Regional Rail Authority (SANBAG). In 1993, a Discontinuance of Service was filed with the
regulatory agency. SANBAG has approved the concept of joint trail use provided a) that the trail
use would not interfere with future rail service, and b) that the City accept maintenance of the entire
corridor width.

COSTS: In 1991, the City's Trail Implementation Plan estimated trail construction cost as
approximately $5 million. This cost will increase due to the need to widen or construct bridges for
trails across Foothill Boulevard, Victoria Park Lane, and flood control channels. These cost
estimates do not include any land acquisition costs, landscaping, or maintenance of the full
corridor.

Making the Connection
When the Rails to Trails Conservancy organized its first National Rails to Trails Conference in 1987
there were barely one hundred rail-trails on the ground in the United States. Just a decade later, there are
close to 1,000 rail-trails in 48 states stretching 10,000 miles and RTC is hosting an international trails
conference for more than 600 volunteers and professionals from a dozen countries. The rail-trail
movement has come a long way in a short time.
The First International Trails and Greenways Conference, however, is more than just an international
version of our first five rail-trail conferences. Our goal with this conference is to highlight the way in
which trails and greenways reach into every aspect of our communities and lives and how trails can
contribute to policy objectives ranging from pollution control and biodiversity to transportation, urban
revitalization, health and economic development. It's time to look beyond the trails community and
engage other constituencies in achieving our goals.
The conference program is being built around the theme of"Making the Connection." A call for papers
has been issued to solicit presentations that will explore, explain and exemplify the connections we must
make to fully realize the enormous potential of trails to improve the quality of life in communities across
the United States and the rest of the World. The simplest example of this is the need to connect
individual trails into networks that will enable people to move within and between communities on a
real trail system. Then the trail system must be connected and integrated into the rest of the
transportation system.
Through workshops, field trips and plenary sessions the conference will also be "Making the
Connection" between:
· Rail-trails and other trails and greenways
· Trails and sustainable communities
· Trails and urban revitalization
· Trails and active rail lines, canal towpaths and irrigation channels
· Trails and biological diversity, habitat protection and corridor preservation
· Trails, physical fitness and health
· Local, state, national and international trails experience
· Trail advocates and new constituencies
· Trails and transportation
· Trails and economic development
We won't be overlooking workshops on RTC's core activities such as acquiring former rail corridors,
dealing with landowners and other potential opponents, funding, trail design, organizing trail groups and
trail promotion. (For more information on these topics, click here.) ~
08/20/97 10:43:04
Making the Connection http://www.railtrails.or~intmak.html
Last, but by no means least, the conference will be one of the first opportunities to lea/n.ab~)ut the next
generation of trail funding available under federal transportation legislation. ISTEA] which has
generated more than $1 billion for bicycle and pedestrian projects since 1991, will have been
reauthorized by Congress (or should have been) and signed in to law.
So, please join us in San Diego, January 28-31 for the First International Trails and Greenways
Conference. Make the Connection yourself with more than 600 fellow professionals and advocates from
around the United States and rest of the World.

City Council Public Works Subcommittee
SUBJECT:
CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE LICENSE
AGREEMENT WITH JAVA CONNECTION
Recommendation
Approve the attached License Agreement with Java Connection for the Operation of a Coffee Stand
and Appurtenances within the Rancho Cucamonga Metrolink Station.
Background
We, as the City Council's Public Works Subcommittee, have reviewed the License Agreement for
Java Connection. Briefly, Java Connection is a business owned by Mr. Robert Francis and the
business' purpose is to sell coffee, muffins, croissants, danish, bagels, juice, water and sodas at the
City's Metrolink Station. Mr. Francis currently operates a similar coffee stand at Rialto's Metrolink
Station.
The attached License Agreement is a one-year, non-exclusive agreement that provides for Mr.
Francis to pay the City One Hundred Dollars a Month ($100.00/month) to operate his coffee stand
at the City's Metrolink Station. The Agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney's office
and meets contract requiremeres of the City which include applicable permits, insurance, and
indemnification. There is also a provision to terminate this Agreement upon a ten (10) day written
notice to Licensee. Staff has also obtained the written approval of SANBAG as required in the
City's Cooperative Agreement with SANBAG to operate the City's Metrolink Station. We believe
this is an oppommity to provide a service to the City's Metrolink customers and recommend this
one-year License Agreement be approved.

Dear Honorable Mayor and Council Members:
A request has been received from the City of Rancho Cucamonga staff regarding the granting of
access to vendors at the Rancho Cucamonga Metrolink Station. While the cooperative agreement
between SANBAG and the City of Rancho Cucamonga does not really address such an issue,
SANBAG certainly encourages the provision of services for commuters using our Metrolink service
at all stations. With respect to the decision as to who to grant access, SANBAG believes this is best
left to the community responsible for maintaining the station. Therefore, the City of Rancho
Cucamonga is the responsible party for making such a determination.
The actual location a vendor uses should be coordinated with both SANBAG and the Southern
California Regional Rail Authority in order to insure that passenger access and safety issues are
considered.
Should you have any questions regarding the above, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Michael Bair

This item has been placed on the City Council agenda under Item C, "Communication from the
Public," consistent with current protocol when letters from residents are received.
On September 8, 1997, the attached letter was received by staff. Because the letter does not
contain a last name, address, or telephone number, there is no way to contact the writer to inform
them what has been found in our research. A response from the project applicant is also attached.
The subject project has not been scheduled as a public hearing for the September 17, 1997, City

RE: COUNCIL AGENDA- SEPT. 17
To Whom It May Concern:
i am respectfully requesting the following item be added to the agenda of the
September 17 Council meeting:
1. Texaco Project at the SW' corner of Baseline and Miliken.
Although this item has been officially add'essed, and public notices have been sent, it
has come to my attention the application for fuel cispensing obtained by Texaco from
the South Coast Air Quarry Management District, was obtained through false
information supplied by Texaco. I have in my possession the document mentioned,
and I feel it is imperative that the council review said document. in addition, I am also
aware that an additional Public Notice is to be issued in light of the information
uncovered.
As with any responsible .local government,'the citizens of the community expect
maintanance of quality of life to be ensured by such government. Please consider this
application as a prelude to community views, which are and will continue to be, the
values of Rancho Cucamonga. Thank you for your time.
Sinc?el.y,
Stacey, a representative of the residents of

Dear Tom:
We are writing this letter in response to your inquiries regarding our application for a
South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Permit to Construct and
Operate per SCAQMD Rule 14.
About three weeks ago, Mr. Randy Matsuyama of SCAQMD informed us that our
application had included erroneous information. Upon review of our application, we had
concurred that we had wrongly stated the location of existing structures. We had fixed the
application, and Mr. Matsuyama is currently reviewing the corrected form. Please note
the permit will be issued based upon correct information.
The appropriate agency to address any problems associated with the Rule 14 application
should be SCAQMD. If you have any questions, Mr. Matsuyama's phone number is
909/396-2551.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or comments.
R. Matsuyama, SCAQMD
Very truly yours,
K. RICHARD TAIT

DICK GUTHRIE, DIRECTOR OF HUMAN SERVICES

SUBJECT:' RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING COMMUNITY CARE FACILITIES
SUMMARY
In September 1996, the Human Services Commission approved a request by the City
Council to study issues related to the placement of community care facilities in
Claremont. The City Council asked that the Commission make recommendations
regarding changes in state or federal statutes needed to ensure quality care for facility
residents and minimal impact on local neighborhoods.
This report will review the primary issues related to the Commission's discussions and
presents the ten recommendations which the Human Services Commission is making
to the City Council.
Staff is recommending that the City Courm. jI receive the recommendations of the
Human Services Commission and asks the City Council Legislative Committee to work
with the offices of State Senator Richard Mountjoy and Assemblyman. Bob Margett to
draft them into legislation for the State Assembly.
ANALYSIS
Backqround
In September 1996,-each member of the Human Services Commission received a
workbook with extensive background materials related to community care facilities. In
November, the Commission conducted two study sessions (November 4 and November
20) on this issue. At the study sessions, public comment was received from community
care facility operators, state and regional regulatory bodies, patient advocates, and
residents. Additional written information was received during the study sessions.
In December, the Commission appointed an Ad Hoc Committee, made up of three
commissioners and two community members, to review the information received and to
make recommendations regarding specific changes to state and federal statutes as
requested by the City Council. Members of the Ad Hoc Committee were Commissioners
Adar Belinkoff, Suzanne Hall, and Penny Myrdal. Harry Schoenfietd, a retired social
FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
ITEM#
worker; and Toni Rhodes, a patient advocate; also served on the Ad' H~ ~ommittee.
The Ad Hoc Committee began its work in January and completed its recommenda~tion
in late April.
For the purposes of the Ad Hoc Committee's discussions, community care facilities
were defined as facilities which provide 24-hour care in a residential setting for a variety
of health or treatment related issues and are monitored or licensed by a state or county
agency. Examples of community care facilities include facilities for the developmentally
disabled, long-term care of the elderly, alcohol and drug halfway houses, youth
facilities, and Alzheimer's facilities. The Ad Hoc Committee did not include child and
adult day care facilities, and child foster care homes in its discussions.
Issues Discussed by the Ad Hoc Committee and the Commission
The subject of community care facilities can generate emotional debate between
advocates of community care facilities who see such group facilities as providing
superior care over large institutions, and neighborhood residents, who often worry
about the impact on safety and property vaiues. Claremont, which values attractive and
livable neighborhoods, and also enjoys a strong community commitment to human
services, is not immune to this debate. Examples of Claremont's commitment to Human
Services include the establishment of the Committee on Disability and the Committee
on Human Relations. The Ad Hoc Committee and Commission based.their discussions
on the premise that there is a need to provide high quality care in smaller group home
facilities located in local neighborhoods, while at the same time protecting the quality
and livability of our neighborhoods.
The following is a review of the key issues related to the Commission's and Ad Hoc
Committee's discussions:
,
Lack of Adeauate Data Base: Any discussion of the need for a:nd impact of
community care facilities must include the recognition that the current level of
information on how many, types, and locations of these facilities is inadequate.
Because there is no centralized data base at the state or county level, it is nearly
impossible to obtain basic information on how many or what type of facilities exist in
any community.-Facilities are licensed and monitored by different state and county .
agencies depending on what type of facility they are. There is no cross indexing of
information between the Department of Social Services, the Department of Health
Services, the Department of Mental Health, the Probation Department, Corrections
Department etc. There were 25,885 community care facilities to license and monitor
statewide in 1995. Since community care facilities are not required to get a local
business license, cities do not have the means to create their own data base of
facilities located within their boundaries.
Attachment A to this report is a matrix of the location and type of 31 community care
facilities identified in Claremont. This information took several weeks to accumulate
.
and came from a variety of resources. Because there is no central 'd,~i~,' base, there
may be additional facilities in Claremont which have not been identified.
Insurina Quafitv Care For Facility Residents: Growth in the number of community
care facilities statewide during the past several years has resulted in questions
being raised about how well the regulatory bodies can monitor the quality of care
given residents in these facilities. This issue relates not only to the timeliness of
inspections, but also to the point that there are no "drop-in" inspections. Facility
operators know in advance when they are being monitored.
,
There have also been questions raised regarding the training and background
checks of facility staff. Because of backlogs, individuals with inappropriate or
criminal backgrounds have begun work prior to cSmpletion of background checks.
The Commission received comments regarding concems that there may be abuses
in administering medications by untrained staff. There is also an issue related to the
quality of care given in owner-occupied facilities as opposed to chain or non-owner
managed facilities. Many multiple operated facilities, such as those owned by Casa
Colina, provide high quality care in well maintained buildings. There is a perception
that owner-occupied and managed facilities may be more attentive to maintaining a
quality facility and to neighborhood issues.
It is likely that many community care facility operators, whether for profit or non-
profit, make their primary living from the fees which they charge to care for the
residents in their facilities. This could lead to issues of minimizing services to
produce the maximum profit.
A final issue conceming quality care r~TAtes to the question "who monitors the
monitors?" With a decentralized state regulation system, there is a variety of facility
monitoring. The quality and expedience of the monitoring of facilities has been
questioned by patient's rights advocates.
Imoacts on Local Neiahborhoods: Issues related to placement of a community care
facility in a neighborhood include notification to neighbors (providing good
information to neighbors about the type of facility and what to expect), safety issues
(would facility residents wander off, run away, or possibly become violent), distances
between other community care facilities in the same neighborhood, parking issues,
integration of facility residents into neighborhood life, and upkeep of the facilities.
The issue of reasonable distance between community care facilities within the same
neighborhood was the source of much discussion among the Commission and the
Ad Hoc Committee. Currently, facilities licensed by the Department of Social
Services (DSS) have a 300 foot minimum distance, measured from exterior wall to
exterior wall, between facilities. There is no separation requirement for facilities
licensed by other agencies. This means that a DSS facility might have a drug 'and
alcohol facility next to it because only one of the licensing agencies has the
minimum distance requirement. Ad Hoc Committee members agreed that there
needs to be a uniform distance requirement applying to all licensing and monitoring
agencies. Some members of the Ad Hoc Committee would prefer to see a 1,000
foot minimum distance, other committee members felt that the'cu~'J'~'nt 300 foot
minimum was satisfactory.
4. Eauitable Distribution Of Community Care Facilities: There is a perception that
some communities contain larger numbers of community care facilities than others.
Communities with affordable housing or a large amount of available housing (rental
or for sale) might be more attractive to operators of community care facilities. The
state currently has no system for placing facilities in an equitable distribution
throughout cities in California.
The Ad Hoc Committee strongly felt that the state needed to develop an equitable
distribution formula for facility placement to prevent any one city from being
ovenNhelmed with community care facilities. Such.a formula, perhaps based on a
specific number of homes per thousands of population, should be applied to all
communities.
5. Limits On The Abilitv of Local Cities to Monitor and Requlate Facilities: Current state
and federal statutes severely limit the ability of local cities to monitor and regulate
community care facilities. These statutes were put into place to prevent local cities
from prohibiting the placement of facilities within their limits. However, this prevents
local communities from addressing neighborhood quality of life issues, safety issues
for neighborhood and community care facility residents, etc. For many cities, this is
a major concern, since the impact of code enforcement, or police response at
community care facilities has a significant impact. It will be necessary to address this
through state and possibly, national legislation.
Public Comment At Commission Meetinq
At its June 9 meeting, the Human Services Commission received public comment from
seven residents and representatives of community care facilities. Six of the seven
speakers strongly supported the Ad Hoc Committee recommendations and encouraged
the Commission to recommend them to the City Council. One person expressed a
concern that there should be more support for facility operators. Among the comments
received, were the following recommendations:
· Any of the ten recommendations which become enacted should be "grandfathered"
in to apply to cu_rr_en. tly operating facilities, as well as new facilities.
· A specific uniform distance of 1,000 feet from property line to property line should be
established between facilities.
Require operators to notify neighbors with information about the proposed facility

During the current session of the state legislature, three bills have been brought forward
to address specific areas of concem related to community care facilities. This has been
a piece-meal approach to the problem. The Commission has taken a more
comprehensive view and has made ten recommendations to assist in improving the
· .
care for facility residents and to help local communities address local mo~ii~ring issues.
Attachment B to this report is the summary of the Ad Hoc Committee's final discussions
and recommendations.
Working with an appropriate state legislator, these ten recommendations should be
drafted into specific legislation as a comprehensive package to address problems with
the current community care facility system.
Premise: The basic premise which the 'Community Care Facility Ad Hoc Committee
used is as follows:
· High quality community care facilities are an important part of any community's
human services delivery system.
· The State of California should' strive for a relatively. equitable distribution of
community care facilities throughout communities in the state.
· Communities have the right to expect that community care facilities provide quality
services to the residents who live in them.
Specific Recommendations:
1. Create A Statewide Data Base: The State of California should establish a central
data base (clearinghouse) for all types of residential care facilities which are
governed in any way by the state. This data base should include information on
facility location, type, size, regulatory body, previous complaints, and ownership.
2. Develop An Equitable Formula For The Distribution of Facilities: Based on data
collected from a central data base, the State of California should develop an
equitable distribution formula to determine the maximum number of facilities for
each community, which correlates to population, or some other understandable
formula.
3. Establish A Uniform Separation Distance Between Facilities' A uniform
separation of 1,000 feet from property line to property line, or one block, whichever
is the greater distance, should be mandatory between residential care facilities of
any type in a specific neighborhood. This uniform separation should take into
account anomalies-such as cul-de-sacs, etc.
4. Allow Parents To Be Vendorized: Parents of developmentally disabled adults
should be allowed to become "vendorized" by the Regional Centers in order to
support and encourage the family unit whenever possible. "Vendorized" refers to
the ability to be authorized to receive state or federal funds to pay for care and
services for the disabled.
5. Require City Representatives On Reqional Center Boards- Local cities should
have formal representation on the Boards of Directors of the Regional Centers and
their committee structure.
6. Require City Notification of Complaints About Facilities: Local cities should
receive notification when a complaint has been filed with a licensing or regulatory
,
,
,
10.
body (including Regional Centers), against any type of residential care- fhcility within
its borders.
Recluire Operators To Provide A Report On Prior Operations: Operators of
facilities should be required to present a report on the history of its previous or
existing locations to the licensing authorities and the city where the proposed facility
will be located, prior to licensing approval.
Recluire Operators To Contact Neiqhbors of New Facilities: In order to promote
neighborhood and community involvement, residential care facility operators should
be required to contact residences in the immediate neighborhood with written
information on location, size, type of facility, regulatory 'body, and a plan about how
the facility will be integrated into the neighborhood, once licensing has been
granted.
Prohibit The Grantinq Of Licenses Prior To The End of Notification Timelines:
Regulatory bodies should be prohibited from granting any licenses prior to the end
of notification timelines to local cities.
Allow Local Cites To Require A Business License: For informational purposes,
cities should have the authority to require a business license for private "for profit"
residential care facility operators, as well as to those "non profit" operators whose
primary livelihood is operating a'residential care facility.

Memorandum
TO:
RESIDENTIAL CARE FACILITIES AD HOC COMMITTEE
FROM:
DICK GUTHRIE, DIRECTOR OF HUMAN SERVICES
DATE: MAY 13, 1997
SUBJECT: REVISED SUMMARY OF DISCUSSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
A summary of discussions by the Human Services Commission's Ad Hoc Committee on
Residential Care Facilities includes the following:
Discussion Points:
The basic premise related to the location and operation of residential care facilities
in any community is that:
- High quality residential care facilities are an important part of a
community's human services delivery system.
- The State of California should strive for a relative equitable distribution
of residential care facilities throughout communities in the state.
- Communities have the right to expect that residential care facilities
provide quality services to the r..~._idents who live in them.
"Equitable distribution" is defined as a even proportion of facilities spread throughout
any community based on a understandable formula.
For purposes of the Ad Hoc Committee's discussions, examples of residential care
facilities includes facilities for the developmentally disabled, long-term care of the
elderly, alcohol and drug halfway facilities, youth facilities, and Alzheimer's facilities.
It does not include child and adult day care facilities, and child foster care homes.
The lack of information on where facilities are located, ownership, appropriate
regulatory body, etc., is directly related to the decentralized system in place at the
state level. Thi~"inability to get good information is a major obstacle to ensuring
quality facilities and equitable distribution.
To ensure strong neighborhoods, which benefit all residents, including those in
residential facilities, there should be adequate distances between facilities, no
matter what their type.
Owner occupied facilities are perceived to be more attentive to maintaining a quality
facility than "chain" types of facilities. Residential care facilities should develop
relationships with their neighborhoods.
The Ad Hoc Committee is concerned about who "monitors" the monitors (e.g.
Regional Centers).
There are significant concerns that the background check process and training of
employees in residential care facilities is inadequate.
Specific Recommendations .. --'.
10.
1. The State of Califomia should establish a central data base (clearinghouse) for all
types of residential care facilities which are govemed in anyway by the state. This
data base should include information on facility location, type, size, regulatory body,
previous complaints, and ownership.
2. Based on data collected from a central data base, the State of Califomia should
develop a equitable distribution formula to determine the maximum number of
facilities which any one community should contain.
3. A uniform separation should be mandatory between residential care facilities of any
type in a specific neighborhood. This uniform separation should take into account
anomalies such as cul-de-sacs, etc.
4. Parents of developmentally disabled adults should be allowed to become
"vendorized" by the Regional Centers to discourage institutionalization.
5. Local cities should have formal representation on the Boards of Directors of the
Regional Centers and their committee structure.
6. Local cities should receive notification when a complaint has been filed with a
licensing or regulatory body (including Regional Centers), against a any type of
residential care facility within its borders.
7. Operators of facilities should be required to present a report on the history of its
previous or existing locations to the licensing authorities and the city where the
proposed facility will be located in, prior to licensing approval.
8. In order to promote neighborhood an_.~ community involvement, residential care
facility operators should be required to contact residences in the immediate
neighborhood with written wners of residential care facilities, should be required, not
requested, to make contact with the residents of neighborhoods v~ith information on
location, size, type of facility, regulatory body, and a plan about how the facility will
be integrated into the neighborhood, once licensing has been granted.
9. Regulatory bodies should be prohibited from granting any licenses.prior to the end
of notification timelines to local cities.
For informationa4.~purposes, cities should have the authority to require a business
license for private "for profit" residential care facility operators, as well as to those
"non profit" operators whose primary livelihood is operating a residential care facility.
