RESOLUTION NO. 11-060
01.
James Troyer, Planning Director, presented the staff report
In response to Council Member Alexander, Mr. Troyer confirmed that the cost of this project would
include the cost of the agreement as well as staff time. While the agreement provides for costs not to
exceed $187,330.00, the total cost of the project will likely be higher. Council Member Alexander
recognized that the update was needed but had reservations about the cost and the process. With
the economy and the limited resources, he inquired if the work can be done in-house.
City Manager Jack Lam addressed the use of AB 1600 funds. These monies were collected from
developers for the exclusive use of development related expenditures, thus freeing up the general
fund and City resources.
In response to Mayor Michael, Mr. Troyer confirmed that the General Plan update was done using
this funding source.
Mr. Troyer addressed how the fees were collected in response to Council Member Williams. Council
Member Williams noted that the timing may be beneficial as development activity is down. If the
project is started now, the City would be in a good position once the economy recovers and
development starts picking up.
Council Member Buquet pointed out that the Development Code was approved many years ago.
While it has been amended from time to time, there has not been a comprehensive review. He noted
that people doing business with the City need clear and concise regulations. Also, there is a need to
ensure that the regulations are consistent with the law and the laws have changed over the years. He
agreed and appreciated the concerns raised by Council Member Alexander but noted that this is a
good time to implement the update.
While Council Member Alexander appreciated the clarification by the City Manager, he was
concerned with the timing of this project. City Manager Lam indicated that the timing is not within the
City's control as the State requires the update of the General Plan and the various elements. This
work was started before the recession hit.
Mayor Michael concurred with Council Member Williams, noting that performing the update now
places the City in a good position once the economy recovers. He noted that the staffing levels have
been reduced and that the City Council had identified the need to review and update our regulations
in order to assist businesses. This comprehensive update is needed and should be pursued.
MOTION: Moved by Williams, seconded by Buquet, to approve the staff recommendation in the staff
report. Motion carried 4-1, with Council Member Alexander voting no.
02. APPROVAL OF THE SOURCES OF PAYMENT AND NECESSARY BUDGET

Consortium.
Tom Grahn, Associate Planner, presented the staff report.
In response to Mayor Pro Tem Spagnolo, Mr. Grahn indicated that the length of the agreement was
established by the Consortium.
Mr. Grahn confirmed to Council Member Buquet that the required 25% match would not have a
negative impact on the City.
In response to Council Member Alexander, Mr. Grahn was not aware of any recent housing activity.
Mayor Michael inquired about any alternatives in approving this agreement. In response, Mr. Grahn
noted that if the agreement were not approved, the City would be ineligible to receive funding.
MOTION: Moved by Spagnolo, seconded by Alexander, to approve the staff recommendation in the
staff report. Motion carried 5-0.
P. COUNCIL BUSINESS
The following items have been requested by the City Council for discussion.
01. COUNCIL ANNOUNCEMENTS (Comments to be limited to three minutes per Council
Member.)
Council Member Alexander noted that some mobile home owners are struggling to pay their park fees
in light of this economy. He also expressed a concern with the issuance and cost of home occupation
permits, noting that in some cases the permit may not be necessary.
Council Member Williams appreciated the job fair today at Central Park and thanked Congressman
Dreier for sponsoring these events. She noted that the Cucamonga Challenge will be on May 7`" and
encouraged everyone's participation.
Council Member Buquet read today that Deputy Chief Mark Hartwig has been selected as the new
San Bernardino County Fire Chief. He hoped to recognize Chiefs Hartwig's service to the City at an
upcoming meeting. Council Member Buquet also invited the audience to the special Council meeting
