presenting the staff report. (0401-03 PARK AD)

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.

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.

notice. She did not understand.

Ms. Enware stated she would also like to get the trees cut down near her house.
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.

Commissioners would serve as the Historic Preservation Commission.
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

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.
Councilmember BuqUet stated the Council has just heard from the public that the City should fred ways to cut costs,
and that this is one way to do that. 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. He stated he is troubled about the current Commissioners having
to reapply for their positions, and felt the Council was asking for their resignation.
Mayor Stout stated this is not the case.
Mr. McNiel stated he felt offense by this as far as having to resubmit an application. He stated he would
rather be terminated than have to do this. He felt this was an embarrassing position for the Commissioners
that have to reapply and may not be reappointed.

II. 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.
