CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS AND PERMIT
RF. OUIR~MENTS FOR TAXICAB SERVICE ITEM PULLED FOR DISCUSSION BY MR.
GENE STALLINGS, YELLOW CAB COMPANY (1206-06 TRANSPORT)
Gene Stallings, Yellow Cab Company, requested that two amendments be made to Section 8.30.060,
Permit Fees. He stated the Ordinance requires an annual reapplication as if it were a brand new application.
He felt this was unnecessary. He also felt taxi company permits should be uansferrable upon City Council
approval. He stated Section 8.30.070 should also be changed so that each driver is not required to have a
permit if they have a valid permit from a City or County that requires an individual driver's permit or
license and is acceptable and approved by the City Manager or Acting Chief of Police. He mentioned his
drivers are screened by Pomona Police Department. He stated they will agree to be a central check place for
other cities. His last request was that Rancho Cucamonga adopt a section for determination of public
convenience and necessity which he felt was critical for the continuance of taxi cab service.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated he reviewed abe information NIt. Stallings was presenting this afternoon with
Duane Baker. He stated he did not want to go back into the issue of need and necessity. He stated be had not had an
opportunity to consider Mr. Stallings' changes. He also stated as far as using another Police Department, he was
not sure that staff has had an opportunity to check this out or be comfortable with it.
Councilmember Alexander felt the information should be considered and bring this back for first reading.
Councilmember Buquet stated he did not have a problem with looking at some additional information.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated the intent of this ordinance was to protect the public as staff thought the City
Council wanted them to do, and not to rely on another City.
Councilmember Buquet asked Captain Zeiner if it would be redundant for Rancho Cucamonga to do the fingerprint
check, background check, etc., if Pomona does the same thing.
Captain Zeiner stated they would be concerned if the same person Pomona was dealing with was the same person
Rancho Cucamonga was dealing with.
Councilmember Alexander felt more time should be given to the new information presented by Mr. Stallings.
Mayor Stout felt the Council should go ahead and adopt this Ordinance and then revise it after it is in effect for
awhile. He did not think Rancho Cucamonga should rely on another jurisdiction for checking out the driven.

Councilmember Wright stated she had some problems with Section 8.30.030, the appUcation for taxi cab service,
and felt numbers 9 and 10 should be reviewed on a yearly basis. She stated she wasn't sure of the idea to have other
cities check out a person because she didn't think other cities had the same standards as Rancho Cucamonga. She
felt the need for doing this was for public safety of the residents. She felt it should be adopted, although she agreed
with Mayor Stout about reviewing it after a period of time to see if it needs to be changed.
Mayor Stout stated he felt uncomfortable with having Pomona doing the investigation without some kind of an
agreement with them and that they might want some kind of payment for their services. He asked Chief Zeiner to
talk with Pomona on the idea of fingerprinting and records checking for our taxi cab permits.
Councilmember Alexander stated he did not want Rancho Cucamonga to become over-regulative and eventually
charge the public for a service.

APPEAL) (0807-02 SIGNS)
Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council were:
Nancy Cashey, Quiel Brothers Signs, presented pictures to the City Council of the gas station. She stated
they did not feel a monument sign would be enough for the public to notice the station.
Councilmember Buquet asked if Texaco was paying the station owner for the improvements.
Ms. Cashey stated yes, but she did not feel they would pay for the cost of it unless it was a canopy sign.
She did not feel it should be on the front of the building.
A woman owner of the Texaco station stated they want to improve the appearance of the station. She stated
Texaco would loan them the money for the sign but that it has to be their way or they would not loan her
the money. She stated Texaco would not loan them any additional money in order to comply with the
Planning Commission's standards.

Mayor Stout felt Texaco would be receptive to whatever kind of sign it took to bring in more money for the station.
He felt everyone that drives by there knows that is a gas station. He felt the problem was the access getting in and
out of the station.
Councilmember Wright commented on the revenue the City receives from the gas sales of the station.
Owner of Texaco station felt if people could not see the Texaco station, they would go to Upland for their
gas. She also felt the money from ~e station would help the economy situation in Rancho Cucamonga.
Councilmember Buquet stated he did not think the canopy sign would help her business. He suggested that the City
help her deal with Texaco. He felt she warranted special consideration. He felt only a monument sign would attract
more business.
Mayor Stout stated the City has had great success in working with big corporations in getting them to do what the
City requires of them.
Brad Bullet, City Planner, stated there are a lot of options that should be considered. He felt the City Council should
deny the appeal without prejudice.
Councilmember Buquet felt staff should work with Texaco to come around to the City's regulations - not necessarily
a monument sign.

H. CITY MANAGER'S STAFF REPORTS
HI. CONSIDERATION TO WITHDRAW THR. EXISTING ANNR. XATION APPI-ICATIONS FII-~D IN
CONJUNCTION WITH THI:. DI:.VI~I .OPMENT OF TH!:. F. TIWANDA NORTH SP!:CIFIC pl .AN - The City
Council Subcommittee recommends that the City Council accept their recommendation to withdraw LAFCO
Annexations No. 2624 and No. 2625 in that there is no County support or other property owner support for the
annexation requests at this time. Staff report presented by Rick Gomez, Community Development Director. (0702-
Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public comments. Addressing the City Council was:
Tim Johnson, West Valley Foothills Manager for San Bemardino County, thanked staff for working with
him and keeping him informed. He read the following statement: "As all of us recognize the physical and
financial development of Etiwanda North has stalled because of a powerful mix of factors, including the
weak economy, the death of the principal developer, the lack of bank financing, and the present lack of
infrastructure. In short, we are in a real Catch-22, both at the City and County level on any planning or
development activity in the area right now. In this dormant phase of Etiwanda activity, it is logical that
you may wish to rethink the pending annexations. If you elect to make that decision, and I'm not here
tonight to ask you to be nay or yeah on that particular item, it does raise the question as to the
inconsistency of continuing to pursue the City's Etiwanda North Specific Plan and the related Resource
Management Plan and the Infrastructure Phasing Plan on an area that is not within the City limits. No
responsible person would doubt the need to plan for whatever may occur throughout the Etiwanda North
area. In particular, the planning to insure the preservation of worthy habitat is best done before that habitat
is altered in the process of changing uses. But both the County and the City have thoroughly done the
groundwork for the master planning up to the necessary point. Both jurisdictions have more than adequate
knowledge of the infrastructure needs of the area under any development scenario. We at the County have
spent a substantial sum in recent months on new, third-party biological field work in connection with the
necessary flood control improvements that both of our jurisdictions need. Specifically, that relates to the
Bureau of Reclamation Loan Application for the San Sevaine Creek Project, and that information, the day it
is available to me, will be available to your staff as well, and I expect that within a month. Neither
jurisdiction can move further in any tangible way until a source of funding exists. With no development
and little bank financing, that funding simply is not on the table for either one of us as far as we can see.
As a follow-up to your actions this evening, I would ask you to consider, at some subsequent meeting,
whether or not further action on the Specific Plan outside your present boundaries is an unnecessarily
adversarial step that can cloud the atmosphere of negotiation that must proceed any annexation agreement"
He stated he would be happy to answer any questions that the Council might have.

Mayor Stout stated the Etiwanda North Specific Plan has already been adopted by the City Council and that there is
no further action pending on it.
Brad Buller. City Planner, added there are two documents that go along with the ENSP, the Resource Management
Plan and the Infrastructure Phasing Plan.
Mr. Johnson stated the bottom fine is going to be what form of open space and how it is managed and how
it is paid for. He did not feel this was a City/County question or dispute. He felt there was a cloud of
confusion with the Resource Management Plan with the Resource Regulatory Agencies, i.e., U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service.
Councilmember Wright stated the assessment of political support was not a consideration of hers when she initially
voted to agree with the annexation. She stated the City fought long and hard for that, and should have control of that
area as it should have been part of the City limits to begin with.
Councilmember Buquet stated he wished everyone could sit down and work something out.
Mayor Stout felt this area should have been a part of the City's boundaries to begin with. He did not think the
County can service that particular area as well as the City can. He stated the City is withdrawing the annexation
request because there is no support to get it approved. He hoped that some day it could be annexed into the City.
MOTION: Moved by Stout, seconded by Buquet to withdraw the application. Motion camed 4-1 (Wright no).
H2, CONSIDERATION OF TENANT I.F-ASE AGREEMENT (CO 92-064) BETW~.EN THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA AND INI .AND VAI .LEY BASEBAI .L INC. Staff report presented by Linda Daniels,
I~puty City Manager, (0602-01 CONTRACT)
Councilmember Williams questioned Exhibit D of the lease.
Linda Daniels, Deputy City Manager, stated included in the memo that was distributed, Exhibit D is no longer
necessary. She cited the manufacturer's model number under Section 32, page 29, which negates the need for
Exhibit D.
Councilmember Williams stated it still does not give specifications for the scoreboard.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated the only purpose of the lease is to pin it down as to which Scoreboard we are
getting.
Councilmember Buquet asked when the details will be worked out for the security of the stadium.
Linda Danie. ls, Deputy City Manager, stated the City has had initial discussions with the team and that they would
be hiring off-duty police officers or reserve officers, and there will be standards established so that the number of
attendees will require so many security personnel on duty.
Councilmember Buquet stated his main concern was that he did not want them to go out and hire "Joe Blow"
security to come in and be responsible. He wanted to make sure the City stays on top of that in order to get adequate
security.

Councilmember Willlares asked how should the Council assure themselves a comfort level for these items that are
not spelled out in the lease. She asked how does the City be sure that both parties agree and understand the very
same thing.
/ames Markman, City Attorney, stated what the City is trying to do is make the team responsible for giving a
reasonable level of security. He stated no one knows what that means to the operation of the stadium because no
one has operated it yet. He felt operational memorandas should be developed as they go along to get what the City
feels comfortable with.
Councilmember Buquet stated he was not comfortable with how the lease was worded when it mentions security
because the details are not spelled out. He wanted to make sure the City had a strong operational agreement for the
stadium.
Mayor Stout felt the lease should be signed and for the details to be worked out by Dec. 1 through written
memoranda.
MOTION: Moved by Stout, seconded by Buquet to authorize the lease to be executed, and for staff and the City
Attorney to be directed, along with the law enforcement component, to begin the process of developing a
memorandum of understanding with regards to the security issue, including the general operations of the facility
which should include operations independent of the baseball operation itself, field and stadium maintenance included.
Motion carried unanimously, 5-0.
Councilmember Williams stated she wanted to go on record by stating a few years ago she voiced her concern about
the alcohol sale in the stadium and wanted to make it very clear the agreement was made in reference to her concerns
which she was very pleased about. She stated everyone was in agreement about forming a family unit within the
ballpark which was an excellent way to address this problem. She felt families deserve a choice to be around this
type of activity. She felt the alcohol and tobacco free area was a great solution. She was pleased that the staff and
her colleagues were in agreement with her.
No items were submitted.
