MOTION: Moved by Williams, seconded by Buquet to approve the Consent Calendar

abstained).
DISCUSSION OF ITEM D9. Approval of a Loan Agreement, applicable to Landscape
Maintenance District No. I (General City) for an amount not to exceed $50,000.00
for Fiscal Year 1990/91.
Jim Frost, City Treasurer, stated he needed clarification relative to Assessment
District No. 1, why it was created and where the money was to have been spent.
He stated there are some items that appear to be outside of the District and
questioned this, and also the need to advance up to $50,000.00 for a loan into
the Assessment District to pay for capital improvements now with assessments to
be made either on current or future residents to reimburse that over a five year
period. He felt traditionally the City has tried to operate on a cash basis, and
questioned why the City was putting in the improvements now and assessing the
residents at a later date.
Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, stated that back in June, 1990, City staff
brought to the City Council a list of projects throughout Landscape District No.
1 and stated these projects were within this District and were below the normal
standard within Landscape District No. 1. He stated the total amount to bring
this up to the general standard was approximately $527,000.00. He stated that
(2o)

rather than utilizing the $527,000.00 in terms of a loan, staff was able to
manage these dollars so that $120,000.00 from FY 1989/90 was moved over to offset
this cost. He stated last year approximately $80,000.00 was moved over also.
He stated the $50,000.00 shown is a fraction of what was originally needed and
is presented if there are overruns. He stated the purpose of this is not to
provide landscape improvements in non-landscape areas, but it is to bring current
levels within Landscape District No. 1 up to the normal standard throughout the
City.
Councilmember Wright asked if there was a Subcommittee that worked on this
previously.
Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, stated there was a Subcommittee that worked
on this in order to establish the list in the staff report.
MOTION: Moved by Buquet, seconded by Wright to approve the Loan Agreement.
Motion carried unanimously, 4-0-1 (Stout absent).

Page 9
Patricia Quintana, 5318 Peridot, stated she was representing her neighbors
and supported staff's recommendation to deny the request to designate La
Senda Road and Carol Avenue as private streets. She reported on the
packet of information that was delivered earlier to City Hall to be
distributed to the Councilmembers, and asked that the concerns addressed
in this letter be agendized for a future meeting after the City Council
had the opportunity to review the information.
Councilmember Buquet asked if the information submitted should go to staff first
before it came back to the City Council.
Rick Gomez, Community Development Director, felt the City Council Subcommittee
could work on this and then come back to the City Council.
Councilmember Wright wanted to make sure what was in the correspondence did not
affect what was to be decided at tOnight's meeting.
Leo Montgomery, 5319 Peridot, stated he was confused with what was going
on with the issue of La Senda as it relates to the drainage and
privatization of La Senda, and did not feel they could decide on one issue
without discussing the other. Mr. Montgomery felt the entire matter for
this area should be handled at one time.
Councilmember Buquet stated he did not think denial of making these private
streets would make any difference with Mr. Montgomery's concerns.
Councilmember Wright stated she would like the entire matter to be tabled because
she felt the concerns brought up were generated because of the private street
matter.
Ms. Quintana stated it was not their intent to have the matter tabled, but
for their concerns to be considered at a future meeting.
Councilmember Wright stated she would like the matter to be tabled and all of the
issues dealt with at one time, and stated their correspondence has made a doubt
in her mind.
Sonny Cinzero, resident of La Senda, stated there are residents below him
that have a question as to whether his street will be private or not. He
wanted to emphasize to the Council that part of this street had already
been dedicated to the City in 1978, and stated he did not feel because of
this it could be made a private street. He did not feel the matter should
be tabled.
MOTION: Moved by Buquet, seconded by Alexander to accept staff's recommendation.
Motion carried 3-1-1 (Wright no, Stout absent).
Councilmember Buquet suggested if after all of the information has been reviewed,
it can then be decided if the matter should come back on a City Council agenda
if the matter could not be resolved.

vital and liked the work they were doing.

Council was:
Lewis Trout, 7861 Leucite, stated that after reading the Mission
Statement, it seemed the items only relate to matters pertaining to Rancho
Cucamonga and felt there were other issues outside of the City needing the
Commission's attention along with the Rancho Cucamonga issues. He
suggested their scope be broadened to other issues outside Rancho
Cucamonga.
Councilmember Buquet stated at the joint meeting with the Environmental
Management Commission it was discussed what issues they would be dealing with,
but that the Commission felt they would start working on matters directly
relating to Rancho Cucamonga.
Councilmember Wright stated she hoped the Commission would consider issues that
were outside of the City even though they weren't specifically stated in their
Mission Statement.
Mr. Trout felt the Commission should deal with issues even if they were
outside of the City that could have an impact on the residents of Rancho
Cucamonga.
Councilmember Buquet suggested the City Council adopt the statement formulated
by the Commission.
Councilmember Wright clarified for Mr. Trout how the Environmental Management
Commission came up with their Mission Statement. She stated the City Council
gave them the opportunity to deal with the issues they wanted to and whether or
not they wanted to deal with issues that were outside the City boundary.
Councilmember Williams stated that after reading the minutes, she felt the
Commissioners wanted to start working on issues directly relating to the City of
Rancho Cucamonga.

I. COUNCIL BUSINESS
REPORT ON EVALUATION PROCESS FOR COMMISSION APPLICANTS (0701-01 COMMISSION)
Councilmember Wright stated the report was not what she was really looking for
and felt possibly Personnel should get involved. She felt the questions for
applicants need to be changed. She felt there should be more up-to-date tools
for this process. She suggested the Council use the same tools as staff uses
when an interview process is done.
Councilmember Willjams felt there needed to be a workshop with Personnel in order
to train for the interview process right before the Council started with the
process.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated what he heard the Council asking for was if there
was any way to make the interview process more effective. He stated staff could
structure questions for the City Council to ask for their next Commission
interviews.
Councilmember Wright suggested that the rating process be looked at also.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated they would work on both of these issues and bring
it back to the City Council.
Councilmember Wright stated there is no rush on this since they have until next
year before the process takes place again.
Councilmember Willjams stated she liked #6 in the staff report. She felt the
applicants should be urged to attend a Commission meeting in order for them to
see what it is all about.
Councilmember Alexander felt a good question to ask the applicant was .... What
did they think about the Commission meeting they attended."
ACTION: Staff to work further on this process and bring more information back
to the Council at a later date.

(Oral Report) (0704-01

out to those residents who have moved in and signed a lease with one response
coming back to City staff thus far, which has been forwarded to the City

individuals who had moved into the park in 1990 and had signed a lease, and added
that letters have gone out to those individuals asking them if they were aware
there was an Accord. She stated staff is waiting for a response from them, and
when it is received they will report back to the City Council.
Councilmember Wright stated they will also be working to see how many people
signed the Accord in 1990 as well.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated there is nothing that requires the Accord
to be offered. He stated the law required any owner of a mobile home park to
advise the tenant that they did not have to take a long-term lease when there is
rent control in effect. He stated the law was inadvertently repealed this year,
but there is legislation pending to put in into effect again, but that it would
not apply to an Accord. He stated when the Accord is renegotiated, staff will
place an obligation to disclose its existence.
ACTION: Report received and filed.

legislators on getting this repealed, and added there are approximately twenty
cities that have contributed $500.00 for legal purposes to work on this issue.

effort in finding a solution to the overall problem, which is the lack of public
money in the State, and stated she would like to see something developed to solve
that issue.

to come up with a solution to the overall budget crisis.

Jim Frost, City Treasurer, stated he appreciated the City Council's last
action regarding support for the Middle East situation. He referred to
the POW/MIA flag in his possession and suggested this be flown over City
Hall.
K2.
Jackie Bolda made a comment about the survey that was to be mailed out to
the Caryn Development homeowners regarding the $91,000.00. She stated Mr.
DiIorio has made it clear to the residents in that area (which she felt
was inaccurate information) that he has paid for a park and the residents
have never received that park. She stated she felt a lot of residents in
that area are not aware of what is really going on and might feel the City
is holding hostage the $750,000.00, with no park. She felt the survey
needed to be worded carefully to inform the residents what the correct
information really is.
Councilmember Willjams suggested that Ms. Bolda have input on the survey's
wording.
The Council concurred that was good advice from Ms. Bolda.
Councilmember Williams suggested that a letter be written to Mr. DiIorio in order
to straighten this situation out and properly inform him.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated he would be putting something together to rectify
this problem.
