Staff report presented by Scott Murphy, Associate Planner. (1002-08 DEV REV) (0701-06 APPEAL) Mayor Stout asked if this would be subject to drainage fees. Scott Murphy, Associate Planner, stated yes because it was not within any particular assessment district. Councilmember Williams asked what would be the cost of the drainage fee per acre. Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, stated the drainage fee would be $5,000.00 per acre, and that there were 25 acres for this project, so the cost would be $125,000.00. Councilmember Alexander asked if under the design submitted, would this project generate runoff that would be expected to be haT_ardous or would it be retained on the site. Scott Murphy, Associate Planner, stated that the spillway and berm that has been created north of Arrow serves as a detention facility. He stated if the storm drain is not installed, there will still have to be some type of detention facility on site. Councilmember Gutierrez asked what is the sense of an interim use on a site if a party is leasing only to move out after having made the improvements. Scott Murphy, Associate Planner, stated that originally staff had recommended full improvements, but that staff later determined that only the physical improvements immediately adjacent to the property, which would be 900 feet of frontage, be made. The balance of it would be through offers of dedication. Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council was: Bill Kauffman on Hillside Road, stated he would be leasing part of this property and asked that they be allowed some relief on the storm drain facility because it is a short term use.

Councilmember Alexander stated he did not think the storm drain needed to be put in fight now and felt the City should encourage this project.

He stated they do not want a center in Ontario. He also worried that there would be injuries if a pursuit took place through Ontario if the center is approved for this site. He felt Rancho Cucamonga should take the money for the site and put it towards law enforcement. He asked that the Council not put the center where it is being proposed. Carlos Fisco, 6417 Vineyard, felt everyone needed to work together on this. He had pictures for the Council to see of other cities that have job centers. He felt Rancho Cucamonga needed this now. He felt there was no assurance that this would be a success, but felt the City needed to take the chance. Gene Hernandez, 1238 Raymond, Ontario, stated he felt these people were of the criminal element. He felt the center would attract people to loiter.

He felt the program should be given a chance to see where it goes. He felt surrounding cities should help out Rancho Cucamonga with this situation. Mike Winkler, 1840 Calaveras, stated he is not in favor of this project and felt it would increase crime and decrease his property value. Albert Cruz, 1750 Madera, Ontario, pointed out information that he had received from the staff about the proposed project.

Dee Murray, lives in mobile home park next to labor camp, felt the City should look around for another location, but did feel the laborer' s needed assistance. Don Niksonsonic felt there should be union workers and not just someone off the street.

Glenn, did not want to see anyone get hurt from the day laborers. Bev Barker, 1831 Parkside, did not feel this should be in a residential area, but should go in an industrial area. Chuck Bolin, 1224 Raymond, felt this center should be put in nice surroundings in case something did not work out it could be used for something else. He felt this center would create a lot of trash and did not think it should be close to the railroad tracks. He did not disagree with the concept, just the location proposed. Fran Tisserick, 2513 Euclid Crest, Upland, commented on INS agents. Julia Lopez, 1819 Parkside, did not think the daycamp at this location would solve anything. She did not think the people living in this area would be safe in their homes if the daycamp goes in at the proposed location. She felt it should go in a commercial or industrial area, not residential. Mayor Stout called a recess at 9:47 p.m. The meeting was called back to order at 10:02 p.m. with all Councilmembers present except Councilmember Buquet who was absent. City Council Minutes April 21, 1993 Page 12 Tracy Kxouse, 8351 Chaffey St., stated she did not agree with the proposed site and did not think it should be put in a residential area.

Norman Carnello, Arrow and Grove Market, felt the Council should look for another site. Mayor Smut asked him if he would cooperate if there was a higher level of enforcement made for loitering. Mr. Carneilo stated yes. Mr. Thompson reiterated his previous comments that they did not want this project to go through. AI Garcia stated the people objecting to this are from Ontario. He felt all the Ontario residents should go m their City Council m help find a location for this. There being no further response, public testimony was closed. Mayor Smut felt Rancho Cucamonga's Ordinance needed m be explained regarding enforcement for these types of situations. He stated he does not like the job center idea if the workers and employers are not following all the laws. He slated he does not like the 8th/Grove location. He felt it should be in an industrial area within walking distance m the residential areas. He felt another location should be checked into that is not in a residential area no matter what City it is in. Councilmember Alexander stated he is not particularly happy with the proposed location and felt other neighboring cities should work with Rancho Cucamonga. He slated he would like an industrial area for the location also. He did not feel the City should concentrate on the enforcement issue alone. Councilmember Williams felt another location should be looked at also. She told the residents of Ontario to tell their City Council that they should participate with Rancho Cucamonga. She felt the neighboring cities should get involved. Councilmember Gutierrez slated he is willing to look at another site. He stated it bothers him that other Councils were not getting involved in this, and asked the Ontario residents m talk m their City Council. Mayor Smut suggested that staff be directed m explore an alternate site, industrial in nature, which would minimize impact on any residential area, the City Attorney work on a comprehensive Ordinance to deal with the issue consistent with what other cities have done, and an action plan be developed by law enforcement in conjunction with City staff, on an action plan for higher levels of enforcement. He slated Ontario can maybe help with the enforcement idea. Jack Lam, City Manager, added that in looking for an altemate site that budgetary constraints also be considered. Mayor Smut felt that a lease idea using CDBG funds be looked at which would be cheaper than a capital expenditure. ACTION: The Council concurred with Mayor Smut's ~uggestion.

Mayor Stout suggested that two City Councilmembers meet with League representatives for this. Councilmember Willjams stated she was getting mixed messages between the League and the City's legislators. She agreed that the Council meet with the League representatives and that if they have one good idea, it would be worth the money spent on our membership.
