I. COUNCIl, BUSINESS
I1. CONSIDERATION OF ANTI-GRAFFITI TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATION Staff report presented
by Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager. (0704-07 VANDALISM)
Mayor Stout briefly oudined the structure of the Task Force and the past efforts made by the City to conwoi graf~ti.
He invited April Moreash to read the letter she had sent to him regarding her concerns and suggestions about graf~ti.
April Moreash read her letter for the record, a copy of which is on file in the office of the City Clerk.
Mayor Stout stated this letter was important because it was an example of the amount of thought that went into this
process in the beginning. He felt this process caused a lot of people to think, which was evidenced in the amount of
letters received by the Task Force and his office. He stated there was information in the package from a number of
cities in Southern California, and he felt they took some of the best ideas and combined them with the suggestions
from the Task Force into the final recommendation. He showed a poster from Chris Weeks, a student at Dona
Merced School, that they would like to use in their brochure. He stated the City has also been successful with their
graffiti hotline, and a citizen suggested the idea of sending a thank you card to people who report graffiti, which will
also be incorporated in their plan. He also thought they could pass information to the community through The
Grapevine.
Mayor Stout presented proclamations to the members of the Anti Graffiti Task Force commending them for their
service to the City.
Councilmember Buquet stated there were also a lot of people from outside of the Task Force that contributed to the
process, such as representatives from the utility companies and other public agencies. He felt it was good that they
had representatives from all areas involved, such as business, education, law enforcement, judicial, etc., so they
couldn't fall back on placing the responsibility on another group, and it gave them an opportunity for each of the
segments that participated to appreciate the constraints and responsibilities of the other groups. He stated when they
started outlining the responsibilities of each of the different agencies, they discovered that they were doing a lot of
the same things, just each group was doing their own version of it. He stated their goal was to work collectively to
accomplish a better result.

Mayor Stout stated the plan is broken down into four phases, and one of the recommendations is that the Task Force
reconvene after each phase is implemented to review the progress of the plan.
MOTION: Moved by Stout, seconded by Williams to adopt the recommendation contained in the stuff report and set
the proposed ordinance for first reading at the September 1, 1993 meeting. Motion can'led unanimously, 5-0.
Councilmember Williams stated she would like to see an element added to the recommendation relating to
prevention, where the City would create or support programs that teach pre-school and elementary school age
children about graffiti and its desinactive value.
Councilmember Buquet felt it was important for everyone to keep in mind that this is just a preliminary step and
people should not expect this to be the final plan. He felt this plan could be modified as it is put into place and they
can see was affect it has.
Mayor Stout felt the City's measured approach will be the best overall. He hoped that neighboring jurisdictions
would be interested in getting copies of the City's plan.
I2. CONSIDERATION OF MEMORIAL PLAOUE IN HONOR OF PARK AND RECREATION
COMMISSIONER SAM PUNTER Staff report presented by Councilmember Buquet. (0511.01 PRES/AWARD)

Motion camed unanimously, 5-0.
Mayor Stout stated he would like to explore the possibility of recognizing those individuals mentioned by Jim Frost
earlier in the evening, possibly something at the Chaffey-Garcia barn for Ada Cooper as an example.

Fame, so to speak, at the City Hall.

THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES ANNUAL MEETING Staff report presented by Jack Lam, City

Alan Redfield, 8515 Gala, stated the previous Wednesday he had received a parking citation for parking his
RV overnight on the street in front of his house. He stated he stored the vehicle in a lot in Ontario, but
they were closed when he got home from his trip and he could not take the vehicle back until the next
morning. He felt there should be some exception in the ordinance for allowing people to load and unload
their RV's.
Councilmember Buquet stated that when the Council reviewed the RV ordinance, he thought a clause had been added
to allow temporary parking for loading and unloading.
Mayor Stout asked the City Attorney for clarification on that point.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated there was an exception in the ordinance for loading purposes, but he was not
sure if that was on the street or not.
