I1. UPDATE ON IMPLEMENTATION OF LIBRARY MASTER PLAN Staff report presented by Linda
Daniels, Deputy City Manager. (1601-06 LIBRARY)
Councilmember Wright stated the Friends of the Library is an organization in the City that can aid and facilitate with
library services in the City, and it has been doing this for a very long time.

I2. DISCUSSION OF PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION REGARDING THEIR EVALUATION OF l .AW
ENFORCEMENT AND ADVISING THE CITY COUNCIL ON ITS STATUS (0701-01 COMMISSION) (1301-
00 SHERIFF)
Mayor Stout stated he had asked for this item to be placed on the agenda and stated he had wanted this Commission
created shortly after he was first elected. He told about their original charge as it related to public safety issues,
emergency preparedness, etc. He stated he was surprised to read in a recent newspaper article about a concern with
respect to law enforcement and ~e increase in the crime rate on a couple of major issues. He stated he was even
more concerned that these matters were never discussed on a Public Safety Commission agenda. He felt it would be
appropriate for the City Council to express in a communication to the Public Safety Commission what it is they
should be doing and to keep the Council informed when there are serious concerns with the safety in the City,
especially in law enforcement. He felt especially around budget time they should mention their concerns when there
is an opportunity to do something about it. He felt if the Commission looked at other services, that possibly fire
safety personnel could be cut and that money go towards law enforcement needs. He commented that laying off
planners would not free up enough money to hire additional law enforcement personnel. He added the law
enforcement budget has gone up over the past few yeats, whereby the City's general fund budget has gone down. He

added law enforcement is a high priority of the City. He would ask that the Council give direction to staff to
communicate to the Public Safety Commission that they are concerned about this issue at this time and that they be
directed to study this matter in depth and set priorities in the safety area with a report back to the City Council. He
also asked that staff explain the budget aspects to them to know how the City's money is spent.
Councilmember Wi!!iams stated she felt the Commission has set fear in the residents by some of their comments.
Councilmember Buquet stated he would like to see this occur after the election. He did not want this to be a long
process and rake a lot of staff's time. He did not want law enforcement delivery services discussed again.
Mayor Stout stated he did not either.
Councilmember Wright stated that she felt the people would see from the article that there really was no need for
alarm. She stated the Commission agendas had important items on them. She stated she did not want the Council
to play the same games as one of the candidates for City Council.
Councilmember Williams stated she agreed, but did not want the residents to see the City Council as ignoring a
problem either.
Councilmember Alexander stated he did not think alarm should be created unnecessarily and that if there is a
problem, the issues should be brought to the City Council.
Counciimember Williams felt communication should be made to the Commission that if there is a concern in the
future, it should be brought forward to the City Council.
MOTION: Moved by Stout, seconded by Alexander that the Public Safety Commission's charge or mission should
be looked at after the election and brought back to the City Council for further discussion. Motion carried
unanimously, 5-0.
.I. IDENTIFICATION OF ITEMS FOR NEXT MEETING
J I. Councilmember Alexander stated after the election he would like to see some kind of guidelines developed
for control of political signs.
Councilmember Buquet stated he was also concerned with what he is seeing with the campaign signs.
Councilmember Wright stated she felt the sign companies were creating part of the problem by the way they were
installing the signs.
K. COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBI,IC
K1. REOUEST FROM JOHN LYONS TO ADDRESS CITY COUNCIL REGARDING EI.ECTION
MATYERS (0702-03 ELECTION)
John Lyons asked that his letter previously submitted on October 14, 1992 be made part of the record, and
asked that the City Council remove Jim Curatalo from the Public Safety Commission because of the
money he has received from the Fire Fighters Association. He stated per the State Elections Code that a
City Council Minutes

Page 8
Commissioner can only take $250.00 or they are in a conflict of interest for a one year period of time. He
stated he did not want to shed a bad light on the Public Safety Commission, because he felt they have done
a good job. He stated as a citizen he did not want to see candidates supported by the Fire District, and that
he wanted to see honest government. He asked that Jim Curatalo be removed from the Public Safety
Commission.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated for the record if someone on a Commission runs for Council, he would have
to abstain from issues involving a contributor of more than $250.00, 30 days prior to taking the contribution and a
certain period of time afterwards. He stated his inquiry of staff does not indicate any vote of the Public Safety
Commission that would disqualify the candidate from receiving this type of contribution that he is aware of. He did
not feel the code section mentioned by Mr. Lyons would come into play, or that the contribution is invalid or would
have to be removed. He stated there is a tail on this matter for a certain period of time after the contribution is
received. if something that had some monetary significance to the Fire Association came before the Public Safety
Commission.
