PARK)
Mayor Stout stated there was numerous correspondence to be made a part of the
record as follows:
1. Letter from Marva Johnson dated April 10, 1991.
A copy of the neighborhood petition entitled "We, the neighbors of

ordinances and policies concerning curfews and amplification use in
Red Hill Community Park." (6 pages)
3. Letter from Lindsey Wilson, age 11.

and concerned parent in Rancho Cucamonga. (6 pages)

Letter dated April 15, 1991 by concerned 11 year old Shannon M.
Figg.
Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council
were:
Marva Johnson, presented the original petition to the City Clerk and
stated they are asking for the City to reinforce what is already law and
not change what is already in place. She felt the City Council should
exert control over City regulations. She suggested if the residents are
to be provided with phone numbers in case there are problems at the park
for this tournament, it should be the City Council's, City Manager's and
Joe Schultz's home numbers to be given to them. She suggested constant
monitoring should take place for these games. She reiterated her request
for the City to enforce all current ordinances regarding amplification and
regulations.
Laurie Stallings stated she likes the Little League, but felt the
residents should not have to police the park either. She stated she felt
the entire neighborhood did not receive the flier from the City about the
meeting. She asked that the City Council enforce the regulations already
in effect.
George Guidera reported on the problems he felt there were with the park.
He felt there was a double standard of rules for the park. He complained
about the high school children that use the parking lot at the park. He
City Council Minutes
April 17, 1991
Page 11
stated he did not feel the park was constructed properly. He complained
about the noise at the park also. He also mentioned he never received
notification of the meetings that took place regarding this matter.
Boyd Kelly, President, Citrus Little League, stated he did not feel any of
the policies were violated last yearl He stated this request is for five
Little Leagues to play in the tournament. He added they did not want to
burden the neighbors. He pointed out that Citrus Little League is not the
sole user of the park. He added he felt they were blamed for every
problem that came up. He stated they are asking for a variance in policy
for a certain period of time. He informed the Council that if the
variance was not approved they would hold the tournament outside the City
of Rancho Cucamonga.
Councilmember Alexander asked Mr. Kelly what time the games would start.
Mr.-Kelly, Citrus Little League, reported 5:30 p.m., and that a game
usually lasts approximately three hours.
Councilmember Alexander suggested something be arranged so that no new inning
start after 10:00 p.m.
Councilmember Williams asked if the games could start at 5:00 p.m.
Mr. Kelly, Citrus Little League, stated because of the traffic to get to
the games it would not be practical for the players to get there any
earlier.
Adam Johnson asked Mr. Kelly why they continually abuse the amplification
policy.
Mayor Stout informed Mr. Johnson to direct his questions to the City Council
only.
Dave Bonam reported on the game scheduling, and stated they try not to go
beyond 11:00 p.m. He added they are only asking for a variance for seven
nights.
Councilmember Alexander asked if there was a way to consider a game complete
after five innings.
Mr. Bonam stated they are not allowed to do that because a regulation game
is seven innings.
George Guidera stated he is not picking on the Little League, that there
are problems with all of the events that go on at the park. He suggested
that the play-off games take place at the college or the high school
instead of burdening the residents near the park.
There being no further response, the public comments were Closed.
City Council Minutes
April 17, 1991
Page 12
Councilmember Buquet stated the reason he hears what goes on at Red Hill Park is
because of the noise bouncing, not because of the amplification level being too
high. He stated he appreciated the people that took the time to go to the
meetings to try to resolve this problem. He stated that for seven nights, he did
not see a need for a "show down" and petitions. He felt the Little League should
be sensitive to the neighbors and felt they should be given the opportunity to
follow City regulations and hold the tournament.
Councilmember Williams stated what she hears is not a problem with the
tournament, but problems overall with events that go on at the park. She felt
some kind of patrol at the park would help.
Mayor Stout asked if there would be accommodations at the Sports Park for adult
softball.
Joe Schultz, Community Services Director, stated yes.
Mayor Stout felt hopefully after this year, the tournament could be held at the
Sports Park.
Mayor Stout suggested in the Memorandum of Understanding, the third paragraph
from the bottom should be changed to read "A continued violation will cause all
amplification to cease."
Councilmember Williams asked that there be some type of enforcement personnel
present.
Joe Schultz, Community Services Director, stated the last paragraph of the MOU
would be changed to read "Citizens Patrol and/or Sheriff Reserves will be in
attendance at all games."
Councilmember Alexander stated he felt a member of Council should be in
attendance at all games, and felt it should be shared.
Mayor Stout stated he did not have a problem with that and felt it was a good
idea.
Councilmember Buquet stated he wanted to make sure that Sheriff Reserves were
contacted so they would be in attendance at the games.
Joe Schultz, Community Services Director, stated per the request of the
homeowners, his name and home phone number would be available on the flier.
Councilmember Alexander stated he is not anti-sports, but concurred with
Councilmember Williams as far as where does the City draw the line on granting
exceptions.
MOTION: Moved by Buquet, seconded by Williams to approve the request for the
variance and adopt the Memorandum of Understanding as amended. Motion carried
unanimously, 4-0-1 (Wright absent).

H2. CONSIDERATION OF SKATEBOARD RECOMMENDATIONS AS PRESENTED BY THE PARK AND
RECREATION COMMISSION - In May 1990, the Park and Recreation Commission was
directed to study the skateboard issue and bring back recommendations to the City
Council. Staff report presented by Tarry Smith, Park Planning/Development
Superintendent. (1401-03 SPORT ACT) (0701-01 COMMISSION)
Mayor Stout opened the meeting f~r public comment. There being no response, the
public comments were closed.
Mayor Stout stated he did not have a problem with items B, C, and D in the staff
report that were recommended by the Park and Recreation Commission, but felt this
project would have to follow in line with the projects already committed to, and
did not want anyone to get the idea that this would be built right away.
Councilmember Buquet felt there were a lot of questions that the City needed to
check out regarding this project before they go forward. He agreed this project
needed to fit into the scheme of things with other projects already scheduled.
He added he would like to see more information before he makes a decision.
Councilmember Willjams stated she agreed with Councilmember Buquet and felt the
City needed to take a look at this more closely and get more information.
Mayor Stout mentioned he did not feel the real skateboard enthusiast would use
a facility such as this because it would probably be under their skill level.
Tarry Smith, Park P/D Superintendent, stated he felt this would fit 80% of the
skateboarders in the City, and the other 20% would not use it.
Councilmember Alexander suggested the City consider a commercial venture coming
in and building a skateboard facility.
Mayor Stout reiterated he felt items B, C, and D were good, but felt the City
should think about operating costs and maintenance of such a facility so they
would know how much revenue is needed to make this happen. He stated he had a
problem with item A, and that it should be understood that this project will be
put in context. with all other park and recreational needs that have been
considered in the past and put in priority order.
Councilmember Willjams suggested with school ending in June, that the children
should be made aware of skateboard rules and aware of the safety aspects of
skateboarding.

Councilmember Alexander stated he had a problem with the lot value in that area
being so high and was surprised that the value had gone up so much.
Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, stated this was the asking price.
Councilmember Buquet stated he had a problem with allocating the money just to
move the house to another location and then having to rehabilitate it just to
sell it.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated the City does not have the option to buy
property by borrowing money on a deed of trust. He added the Redevelopment
Agency can do that, but the City could not.
Councilmember Alexander asked if the City could sell the property to the
Redevelopment Agency.
James Markman, City Attorney, responded if it can be proven that there is a
purpose for it by the Redevelopment Agency.
Councilmember Buquet asked what can be done to facilitate the Redevelopment
Agency buying this.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated they would have to check to see if it fits
into the project area and investigate this further.
Councilmember Buquet asked how soon does the 6ontractor need the City to move the
house.
Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, stated very soon.
Councilmember Alexander suggested this be continued to the May 1, 1991 meeting
to explore the possibility and legality for the Redevelopment Agency to purchase
the land.
Councilmembe~ Buquet stated he is looking for a mechanism for the City to get the
property without having to put up the cash.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated he understood the Redevelopment Agency was paying
for this.
Mayor Stout stated it was his understanding this was a loan from the
Redevelopment Agency to purchase the house, and would then be reimbursed to them
if the house was sold.
Linda Daniels, Deputy City Manager, stated that was correct, and that two years
ago the Agency set aside $100,000.00 specifically for historic preservation which
was the initial catalyst to put this project in place. She added at this point
it would require an additional amount to be loaned to the City which would be
reimbursed once the house was sold.
Mayor Stout indicated he did not'have any problem with the way this has been
structured.

Councilmember Buquet stated he felt more comfortable knowing the Redevelopment
Agency was doing this.
Councilmember Williams stated from a business standpoint she was wondering if the
City could get this project done for the amount of dollars that have been
estimated. She felt it would cost more than what has been figured. She added
she did not know if this was the best use of the City's money. She wondered if
the City has done everything to have another agency be in charge of this project.
She stated she did not see this house as an historic gem.because she felt the
house was abused.
