(0401-03 PARK AD) James Markman, City Attorney, reported on the Brown Act requh'ements and stated the notices inferred that there are new assessments, which is not the case at this time. He stated next year the notices will be more understandable.

Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council were: Eleanor Dedobay, 5031 Klusman, stated she represented the Jarvis Committee and Citizens Against Waste. She submitted a petition for the record and also presented the Council with a plant. She stated it is easy for the city to spend the money from the residents and also referred to City Hall as the "Taj Mahal." Councilmember Buquet stated the City Hall was paid for out of Redevelopment money, not the taxpayers' money. He also stated that a lot of the artwork, etc., was paid for from the interest on the bond funds from the Agency. Tom Dedobay, 5031 Klusman, asked why some Districts got an assessment increase and some did noL Mayor Stout stated that some areas, i.e., Deer Creek, have their own Homeowner's Association and they do not pay that direc~y to the City. City Council Minutes May 19, 1993 Page 5 James Markman, City Attorney, explained that there were no Assessment Districts prior to 1972. He explained how an Assessment Disu'ict is formed when a development is built and how it is put on the tax bill. He stated prior to 1972 there were homeowner's associations that people paid for these things. He stated the City is trying to collect only the money to pay for the upkeep of the Assessment Disthct maintenance. Mr. Markman stated the amounts listed by Mr. O'Neil are the maximum amounts, but that they may be lower than is projected at this time. Craig Hemlet, Upland, talked about Measure "U" and that he did not think any of it would go towards education as Sheriff Willjams has stated it would. He did not think the County would do what they said they would do with the money. He asked that the Council not support Measure "U". Dave Napa, 7050 Chicago Court, stated he did not agree with the notice that was sent, that it was unclear. He stated after hearing Joe O'Neil's staff report, he is more clear and understands why it is being done. He pointed out to the Council that all the residents are having a hard time making it. He asked that the Council watch for waste within the City's operations. Tony Marino, LMD 4, did not think the Terra Vista residents should be the only ones that have to pay for things within their Assessment Districts. Marsha Bailey, 11179 Summerside, stated they do not agree with the proposed assessments. She felt they were paying for services that the city was not providing to her. She stated they are paying for arechilies that the Caxyn residents have and did not agree with this. She stated her neighborhood does not mind paying taxes for things that they presently have in their neighborhood, but not until they actually have them. Tony Marino commented on the assessment they have to pay for the four parks in his District. Mayor Stout commented that there are Tetra Vista residents that are also using Red Hill and Heritage Parks. Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, stated the Engineering Reports explain where the money goes. Carol Haney in Victoria, stated she does not think that the City likes to keep water consumption at a minimum. She gave several examples of what she felt was water waste. She stated her tax bill has increased by double over the last two years. She stated there are increases in everything, but that her salary has not increased. She felt the City should do something to save money and not charge the homeowners. Dennis Eddy, 13910 Claremont, stated he agreed with Ms. Haney, and felt the City should make cuts. Diane Flanoi, 8606 Creekside, stated she agreed also with Ms. Haney and read an article from World News Magazine. She asked if the residents were going to get to vote on this or was it a done deal. Councilmember Alexander stated it is not a done deal, and that it is a public hearing to hear what the residents have to say. Jack Lain, City Manager, stated at the conclusion of the third public hearing the Council will make a decision and vote on this matter. Patrick Collins, 6596 Etiwanda Avenue, complimented the Council for what they have done, but asked what would the Council do when senior citizens lose their homes. He questioned what his rate was going to be, which Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, answered. He stated he did not move his company to Rancho Cucamonga because of the Utility Tax. He felt the City needs to be run like a business, and asked that the Council redirect the structure they are working with. City CouncilMinutes May 19,1993 Page 6 Grita Chevak, 10089 Iron Mountain, commented on the taxes she is paying and that she does not feel she is getting any services for what she pays. She felt her tax bill was incorrecL Rick Gomez, Community Development Director, stated staff would be going over her tax bill with her tomorrow. Mike Jones, 13938 Claremont, felt the greenbelts should not have as much vegetation which would help reduce the assessment costs. Mark E!sworth, 13959 Claremont, commented on the delinquencies in tax bills and .that the other residents are being asked to make up for those that are delinquent and did not agree with this. He stated that many of the streets in Brentwood are not dedicated to the City and why should he have to pay for all of his assessment. Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, stated the landscaping fee does not go towards street improvements. Mayor Stout commented that only 4% of the residents' property tax they pay actually goes to the City. Mr. Elsworth also questioned the assessments in Etiwanda North. Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, stated he would be happy to sit down with Mr. Elsworth and explain this to him. Richard Cardona, 19395 Claremont, did not think the residents should have to pay for other people's delinquent tax bills. He stated Shauna at Cucamonga County Water District stated they are only raising the water rates by 2%. Rick Gomez, Community Development Director, stated that is incorrect and that the City has met with her to give her the correct information. Mr. Cardona asked when the people will get some answers to their questions. Councilmember Buquet commented on the budget cuts the City is making at the present time. Clarence Conwell of Victoria, stated the residents are faced with a lot of problems. He commented on water being wasted in the landscaped areas. He felt the citizens should be allowed to shut the water off from the sprinklers when it rains. He felt the Council should get the community involved in helping out. Councilmember Alexander stated that it might be good for him to sit down with/Vh'. O'Neil and go through some of the costs he is questioning. Synma Enware, 7050 Newton, stated she pays a homeowner's association fee but still got an assessment notice. She did not understand.

Malina Hemandez, 8816 Andover, commented on the assessment for the tot lot near her house. She stated the community does not use the tot lot, and that it is not being maintained. She stated she and her neighbors do not want the tot lot. Mayor Stout stated he felt accepting the tot lot was a mistake from the beginning and asked that the residents work with the City to do something to the property that everyone would like. Mrs. Hernandez felt the neighbors would want to do away with it completely. Councilmember Gutierrez stated he concurred with Mayor Stout. Doug Warren, 12477 Arterberry, felt the City should look for other ways to save money before they raise assessments. He did not feel the City should start anything new at this point. Mike Magalano, 7606 Sandpiper Court, stated he is not sure what the Districts mean or how they work. He felt the cost should be averaged among all the residents. He hoped that the State does not get any money by these assessments being charged to the residents. He commented on the number of homes that are for sale in the neighborhood. He did not want the increase to go through. Emilio Munoz asked that Central Park not be built because it would cost too much to maintain.

Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public comments. Councilmember Willjams pointed out in the Resolution that it should state the "members of the Planning Commission should act as the Historic Preservation Commissioners." Jim Frost, Etiwanda, stated he did not think there should be any alteration to the Historic Preservation Commission. He felt the Council should postpone this in order to receive more information from the public. He continued to give more history on the Ordinance creating the Historic Preservation Commission. He did not think there wottld be a cost savings by changing the structure of this Commission because the activities of the staff would remain the same. He did not think the Planning Commission should assume these duties. He also commented on the money spent to provide support to the Community Foundation. City Council Minutes May 19, 1993 Page 10 Councilmember Alexander stated he didn't totally agree with Mr. Frost's comments on money spent towards the Foundation because the City is not contributing to them.

He stated the Council can, at any time in the future, reinstate any of the Commissions. Councilmember Gutierrez stated he partially agrees with what Mr. Frost was saying. He felt this was being done to cut costs, but felt possibly the Historic Preservation Commission needed to be reconsidered. He stated he would like to further study the Griffith Study. He stated he did agree with what was being proposed for the Public Safety Commission. Councilmember Buquet stated the Council previously came up with the recommendation and did not think they should go back and rehash all of this. He pointed out that the Commission structure can always be changed immediately in the future if it needs to. Councilmember Gutierrez stated he is not going to change his mind now on the previous decision, but felt Mr. Frost had some good points. Larry McNiel, 7482 Alia Cuesta Drive, questioned as a Planning Commissioner, how he would also be handling Historic Preservation business.

DISCUSSION OF CREATING A PRIVATE/NON-PROFIT HISTORICAL SOCIETY (Oral Report) ( 1402-06 HISTORY) Mayor Stout stated he asked for this item to be on the agenda because there was no historical society that covered the entire City of Rancho Cucamonga. He felt a problem with the Historic Commission was that it only had seven people involved in it, where a historic society could include many, many more. He felt this is best done in a private, non-profit historical society with no connection to the City, so they could make any recommendations to the new Historic Preservation Commission. He felt some of the current Historic Commissioners should be asked to be part of this. Councilmember Gutierrez asked how this would get started. Mayor Stout stated you find a core of people who are interested and tell them the City would like them to pursue it, and hopefully it would go from there. Councilmember Wi!liams felt this could be much more powerful than the Commission ever was. Brad Buller, City Planner, stated that at the previous Historic Preservation Commission meeting, the issue did come up through staff. He stated the City of Claremont has a historical society, and that this will be brought up again at the next Historic Preservation Commission meeting and he could see if they would be interested in doing this as a private citizens. Mayor Stout stated he is willing to wait and see if the Historic Preservation Commission will be the catalyst, and if not, he would recruit the people himself. .I.
