CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE ANNEXATION 90-03 - Request to approve the Tax Revenue Exchange for annexation proceedings (LAFCO 2626) between the County of San Bernardino and the City of Rancho Cucamonga for approximately 2,556 acres of urbanizing territory in the area generally located north of the existing City limit, east of Etiwanda Avenue and west of the existing boundary of the City of Fontana. Staff report presented by Miki Bratt, Associate Planner. (0702-02 ANNEXATION) Mayor Stout questioned what the County is offering compared to what the historical amount is. Miki Bratt, Associate Planner, stated that the historic formula is now 6.3%, but used to be 4.9%, that is has gone up. Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, stated that the County has their formula based on historical rates, which was previously 4.36%, and that based on negotiations that the City had entered in before, they offered 6.36% initially; however, they have modified their position and offered 3.3%. He stated the problem with this is they have not clearly looked at the level of service or the potential cost to the City for providing service to that area, nor the fact that the City had in the past received the basic tax rate formula. He stated this puts the City in an awkward position. City Council Minutes September 19, 1990 Page 13 Mayor Stout stated that legislation was passed approximately two years ago that set up a formula, which over time would increase the City's property tax rate, 1% incrementally, up to a maximum of 7%. He asked if in a few years, would the City's increment kick in so that the City's increment would start. Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, stated that was correct. Mayor Stout asked if newly annexed areas slide up that scale to 7%. Jerry Fulwood, Deputy City Manager, stated they would. Jack Lam, City Manager, stated that just recently at the State level there was an action to reduce the amount to the no- and low-property tax cities, cutting them back to 90% of what they received the year before. He stated that was with the understanding it would be a one year only cut in order for the State to balance its budget; however, he stated in the fall there should be another assault on this bill that would make this cut permanent. He stated in theory the City would get up to the 7%, but stated that because the City is already up to the 4.5%, it would have been the fifth year before the City realized any additional taxes. He stated in that five year period, it can easily disappear. Mayor Stout stated if the City authorizes the negotiations tonight, something final would have to come back to the Council at a later date, and asked how much time does the City have for the negotiations. Miki Bratt, Associate Planner, stated this can go on until the City has considered and approved an EIR because the City cannot go forward with the annexation until that happens anyway. She stated it would be three to four weeks before an EIR can be circulated, and then another 45 days after that. Councilmember Buquet stated that it appears to him in his review of this and what the County is doing as far as the differential, that the County Counsel has set up a growth management task force, and one of the things they have been looking at is increasing developer fees and increasing shares of revenue to cover library services, flood control, fire protection, and a lot of other things they have in their affected jurisdictions. He asked if it appeared this is part of that effort. Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, stated the County is playing a new game, and as it was explained to him and Jim Hart, Administrative Services Director, by the County, they are basically saying this is what the figure of basic taxes to the City is after you take in the services currently being provided in the area. This would take care of the current service levels with no new development at 3.3%, which means there is a difference of 4% that they indicate they would split with the City, which is what the new service level becomes. He stated this is different than anything the City has ever heard before. He wanted to make clear this tax formula does not include special taxes, i.e., flood control or any special improvement district tax. He stated it does not take any money away from those. City Council Minutes; September 19, 1990 Page 14 (35) Jim Hart, Administrative Services Director, stated after he, Larry Henderson and Miki Bratt met representatives from the County so they could explain the 3.3%, he stated what they have done is taken the 6.36%, which is the City's general tax rate that is received and is the tax rate for that area, and they are saying they will split that with the City under an agreement that was made in 1985. He stated that is where 3.3% is coming from. He stated the problem is they are taking the City's share and dividing that in half, and keeping half of Rancho Cucamonga's, plus whatever they are getting above what Rancho Cucamonga is getting. He felt they were trying to slow the City down on the annexation or something along that line. He stated he knows there is something wrong, but that staff is trying to figure out what, and will be communicating this to the Administrative Offices of the County with a proposal. RESOLUTION NO. 90-379 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF PROPERTY TAX REVENUES TO BE EXCHANGED BETWEEN AND AMONG THE COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINOAND THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGARESULTING FROM THE JURISDICTIONAL CHANGE DESCRIBED BY LAFCO NO. 2626 MOTION: Moved by Alexander, seconded by Buquet for staff to negotiate with the County for a different formula. Motion carried unanimously, 3-0-2 (Brown, Wright absent). , , , , , , H5. CONSIDERATION OF AN INCREASE IN HOME IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES CONTRACT - The approval of an amendment to the Professional Services Contract (CO 90-013) with Willdan Associates to authorize an increase in the Home Improvement Program administrative services portion of the Community Development Block Grant Program. Staff report presented by Larry Henderson, Principal Planner. (0602-01 CONTRACT) (0203-04 CDBG) Mayor Stout inquired as to how the program works and what the City is doing to help out. Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, went into detail on the things this program is involved with. Councilmember Alexander asked if there was any plan to bolster the program. Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, stated in next year's Block Grant Application there will probably be a recommendation to the Council to possibly up the $80,000.00 and do less curb and gutter work in some of the areas, to try to get the backlog of housing problems taken care of and out of the way. Mayor Stout suggested when the CDBG item comes around next year, he would like to see alternatives expressed so the Council can choose what the money is to go for. City Council Minutes September 19, 1990 Page 15 MOTION: Moved by Buquet, seconded by Alexander to approve staff's recommendation. Motion carried unanimously, 3-0-2 (Brown, Wright absent). I. COUNCIL BUSINESS I1. DISCUSSION OF DATES AND ATTENDANCE OF SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETINGS WITH COMMISSIONS AND OTHER AGENCIES (Continued from September 5, 1990) (0701-01 COUNCIL) Staff report presented by Mayor Stout, who stated it is difficult for everyone to be at all the special meetings, and would like for the Council to consider that if only two Councilmembers are present, and there is not a quorum, to not have an official meeting, but continue with the discussion so the meeting does not have to be postponed. He felt this was important because there are so many meetings it is difficult to rearrange the schedule. He felt the Councilmembers that are present at the meeting can report back to the entire Council about what took place. He added he would like for the Council to think about his suggestion. Councilmember Alexander suggested that possibly some of the special meetings be combined so that there would not have to be so many meetings. Mayor Stout suggested that regular Council items not be carried over to the special meetings. Councilmember Buquet suggested that the time frame be expanded to one meeting every two months so that the entire schedule would take two years instead of one. He also suggested that possibly a Council subcommittee go to the meetings instead of the entire Council, and then report back. ACTION: Report received and filed. , , · , , J.

Councilmember Alexander asked for a report on what it would take, and the cost to utilize recycled paper. Jack Lam, City Manager, stated that about one year ago a report came to the Council stating that because of the facility the City was in and the inadequacy of space, it was decided to wait until we moved to the new City Hall. He stated the City is in the process of testing the paper to see which brand is compatible with our machines. Councilmember Alexander suggested that somewhere on the front of the paper it should note that it is recycled paper. Jack Lam, City Manager, stated when the next budget is reviewed, staff intends to point out the cost factors and what they would propose to purchase or not purchase along with cost factors for the Council's consideration. Mayor Stout stated he has a copy of a model ordinance from the National Recycling Subcommittee of the National League of Cities which proposes an alternate modification that would require recycling centers or facilities in each multi-family housing type of unit, usually newer buildings, and also commercial buildings. He stated he would like staff to see if it would be worth doing this in Rancho Cucamonga. He asked if this would go to the Environmental Management Commission or the Planning Commission. Jack Lam, City Manager, stated this particular issue would go to the Planning Commission. Mayor Stout suggested this be coordinated with the Environmental Management Commission since they were working on recycling issues. Jack Lam, City Manager, stated this would be done.
