B. VACATION OF A FOFrfON OF TTN ~TREMT. Vacation of a portion of 7th Street
adjacent to California Finished Metals located on the southeast comer of 7th
Street and Center Avenue. Staff report by Lloyd Hubbs, City Engineer.
Mr. Frost felt we should not consider a vacation until such a time that a
project comes in or there is a need to physically develop 7th Street because
of the layout. He felt there were some drainage problems and other matters to
consider and that this should be done concurrently with the approval of a
project.
Mayor Mikels opened the meeting for public hearing. There being no response,
the public hearing was closed.
Motion: Moved by Frost, seconded by Buquet to continue Resolution No. 83-34

C. CONSIDERATION OF aM ORDINAMCE ESTABLI~wG A TRANSIENT OCC~AMCY TAX. An
Ordinance proposing a transient occupancy tax for motels. Staff report by
Harry Empey, Finance Director.
Mr. Empey stated that in light of general fund reductions over the past few
years, we have been seeking sources of revenue. He stated the two taxes
proposed do not impact the City now, but should be put into place for the
future. A bed tax has always been a source of tax for cities. The admissions
tax has been a source only recently. These types of taxes were not special
taxes and could be put into effect without approval of the voters.
Mayor Mikeis opened the meeting for public hearing. There being no response,
the public hearing was closed.
City Clerk Wasserman read the title of Ordinance No. 197.
ORDINANCE NO. 197 (first reading)

IMPOSE A TAX UPON THE PRIVILEGE OF TRANSIENT
OCCUPANCY.
Motion: Moved by Dahl, seconded by Buquet to waive full reading of the
Ordinance. Motion carried unanimously 5-0.
Mr. Frost stated he objected to an additional tax even though there was a need
for sources of additional revenue. He did not like to have this placed on the
books before any businesses would have a chance to object.
Mr. Buquet stated that although he was not basically in favor of additional
taxes just to increase revenue, he felt this was one that other cities have.
For example while in Washington D.C., he discovered they have a tax in excess
of 10 percent.
Mr. Wasserman stated that the City of Ontario was enjoying an income in excess
of $400,000 per year from just the Red Lion.
Mr. Wasserman stated they would be taking these two ordinances to the Chamber
during the next two weeks for their review.
Mayor Mikels set April 6, 1983 for second reading.

Ordinance proposing an admissions tax for theaters and similar recreational
activities. Staff report by Harry Empey, Finance Director.
Mr. Empey stated that there are two other cities considering this, Chine and
Montelair. Pomona has an admissions tax which is set at 17 percent.
Mayor Mikels opened the meeting for public hearing. There being no response,
the public hearing was closed.
Mr. Frost stated he had similar reactions to this tax as he did with the bed
tax; it Just added to the cost of doing business in the City. He felt this
needed some deeper thought between now and second reading.
Mr. Dahl stated not many people were really aware what impact the State,
Federal, and County cut backs were to cities. He felt this is a type of tax
that is not harmful and will allow the city to get some of the revenue it
needs. He would be in favor of this type of tax.

5- CIT~ MANAGER'S STAFF RgPORTS
A. REQOEST FOR C~IDERaTION OF Wal~R OF OFF-SITE IMPROVES. A request
has been submitted to the City Council to consider the waiver of off-site
improvements located on Sierra Vista Drive. Staff report by Lloyd Hubbs, City
Engineer.
Mayor Mikels opened the meeting for public comment. There being no comments,
Mayor closed the public portion of the meeting..
Mr. Wassermen stated he was concerned that the appellant was not present. He
recommended that this item be continued to April 6 to make sure the he had
been notified.
Mr. Frost suggested that Council look at the 650 square feet provision.
Mr. Lam stated we have a square footage requirement on the storm drain fees.
The ordinance was devised to specifically address street improvements in areas
that do not have standard street improvements. At the time Council wished a
mechanism by which existing areas could be brought up to standard. The only
way of doing this was at the time of building permits. It was decided that
the 650 figure would be the reasonable size for expansion on a home.
Motion carried unanimously 5-0 to continue to April 6th.
(25)
B. STORM DAMAG~ STAB REFOFE - COMS~LTA~T SELECTION. Sum.~ry of progress on
storm damage repair and request authorization to retain L.D. King Engineering
to prepare plans and specifications for the repair of damaged streets. Staff
report by Lloyd Hubbs, City Engineer. (C083-078)
Mr. Hubbs stated that the agreements had Just been approved by the city
attorney, and therefore, tonight was the first that Council had seen them.
The city attorney had made some suggested changes to the agreements as
follows:
1. The lead-in portion of Section 7 should read as follows:
"Section 7. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The estimated total fees for
the services to be performed by Consultant are as follows:
2. Paragraph E of Section 7 should be revised to read as follows:
"E. Consultant shall be paid for services rendered on an hourly
fee basis. The hourly rates, mileage charges and other
miscellaneous costs items, shall be as set forth in Consultant's
Rate Schedule dated August, 1982, attached hereto as Exhibit
'A'."
City Council Minutes
March 16, 1983
Page 7
3. Subsection G of Section 7 should be revised to read as follows:
"G. Consultant may submit to City, no more frequently than
semimonthly, invoices itemizing all services performed by
Consultant since date on which the last invoice was submitted.
The amount shown on each invoice shall be paid within fourteen
(14) days after submission thereof, without prejudice to the
City's right to thereafter contest the accuracy of any such
invoice, unless the City within said fourteen (14) day period
notifies Consultant that such invoice is not acceptable. In
such event City shall notify Consultant of the reasons for the
unacceptability of such invoice in order to allow Consultant to
promptly respond and make any corrections, or supply any
additional information, which the City my reasonably require
under the circumstances."
4. Section 14 should be revised to read as follows:
"Section 14. Termination of Agreement and Suspension of
Performance. City shall have the right, but Consultant shall
not, to terminate this Agreement or suspend Consultant's
performance hereunder after the completion of the preliminary
study for locations 2, 4, and 7, or at any other time after
giving Consultant fifteen (15) days notice in writing of City's
intention to either terminate this Agrement or suspend
Consultant's performance hereunder."
Mayor Mikeis opened the meeting for public input. There being none, the
public portion of the meeting was closed.
After considerable discussion by Council, Mr. Frost stated he was
uncomfortable about approving a contract for such a considerable amount of
money that he hasn't had a chance to look at.
Mr. Hubbs stated he felt the problem that Council was having was with the five
location contract which staff would want to go out to bid on within the next
ten days. Approximately $7-9,000 would be needed before the next Council
meeting for the two feasibility studies, options on the larger work, and the
contract for the five locations.
Discussion continued. Mr. Buquet stated he felt this could not be delayed too
long.
After further discussion, Mr. Frost suggested that Council take a break and he
would review this during that time.
Mayor Mikels called a recess at 8:55 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 9:07 p.m.
with all members of Council and staff present.
After the break, Mr. Frost stated he had time to talk with Mr. Hubbs during
the break. He stated that the agreement doesn't adequately respond to the
engineering required for improving at the same time we go in and talk about
restoration and reconstruction. There is a need for some language
clarification, but we have time for further refinements. He felt we were
adequately covered during the next two weeks.
Motion: Moved by Frost, seconded by Schlosser to approve with the recommended
changes by the city attorney dated March 16. Motion carried unanimously 5-0.

and General Plan Amendment.
Council concurred. Time for the hearing was set for 7:00 p.m. in the Lions

D. RANCHO CUCaa4ONOa ADVISORY COSION RKCC~ATION'S REGARDING THE SaLE
OF SAFE aND SaNE FIREWORKS. The City Council requested the Advisory
Commission to review the Clty's existing policies relative to the sale of safe
and sane fireworks and forward specific recommendations relative to: (1)
quantity of booths allowed in the City, (2) who is expected to be final
beneficiary of the sales, (3) who should be allowed to sell, and (4) how to
increase safety factor. Staff report by Jim Robinson, Assistant City Manager.
Mayor Mikels opened the meeting for public input. Addressing Council was:
*Debbie Logan, q0350 Base Line, respresenting the Rancho Cucamonga
Junior Women's Club, stated they wanted to express concern over the
quantity of booths allowed in the City. Also, the quantity of
organizations who are able to apply for a booth. They urged some
type of limitations to those who would be allowed to have a fire
works booth.
*Bob Plamondon, Rancho Street, Alta Loma, representing the Rio Orande
Kawanis Club, stated they had studied the list of those who have
asked for booths. He has discussed this matter with the Presidents
of other service clubs such as Lions, Rotary, Cucamonga Service
Club. They agree with the restriction of 10,000 per capita per
booth. They expressed concern about the types of organizations in
line for booths; in particular the small self interest groups who
would man a booth and then disseminate the money among a very small
group within the community. A service club already has projects that
they disseminate money to. Their request is that Council reconsider
the possibility of restricting the use of the booths to a club or
organization having a stronger dissolution of funds down from the
club. They wanted to see the money go to the best possible use in
the city.
*Sharon Romero, Advisory Commission member, stated that the
Commission discussed this issue in great detail as to who should be
allowed on the list and why they should or should not be allowed.
They came up with two things which made them decide to leave this as
it was. (1). Once they have shown what the projected used would be
within the community, then the council could decide whether the
community would be benefittinS. If it was a limited usage that was
being used for the benefit of a very small portion of the city, then
their request for a booth could be denied. (2). Was philisophical
in making value judgements. If a group is a member of the community,
then did it really matter that they shared a particular interest. If
you grouped them right, then a lot of the people in the community do
share interests and it should not preclude them from being on the
list. Also, there was a strong feeling among the the Advisory
Commissioners that the community would benefit from a fireworks show.

eChief Feuerstein stated that when he spoke before the Advisory
Commission, they had discussed a number of things which could be done
in the way of public relations and enforcement. One of the things
mentioned was that a portion of the proceeds from the sale of
fireworks be contributed from each stand to youth programs. Some
other suggestions by the Advisory Commission was to put on PR
programs for not only the children in the schools, but the adults
also; to mail out fliers to all the residents about enforcement on
illegal fireworks, and to set up better control mechanisms for the
illegal fireworks. Just to do that type of a mail out program would
be very expensive. He suggested that if some of the money was to be
channeled back from the stands, then perhaps some of the money could
be used for the program itself.
*Mr. Plamondon stated that each booth operator was to have a
license. He felt this fee could be used for the purpose that Chief
Feuerstein was talking about. How to increase safety factor -- he
felt that even a printed form of a greater magnitude to hand out at
each booth emphasizing the law would be quite helpful. He also
pointed out that some of the small groups would have a hard time
manning a booth.
There being no further comments, Mayor Mikels closed the public portion of the
meeting.
Mr. Frost stated his concern was to go back to the action that a prior Council
had taken. It was his personal feeling that Council take a long hard look at
this source of revenue which is available which would otherwise come from some
type of public subsidy.
Mr. Frost stated that he felt the Council should set up some delineated
guidelines for staff so they could do some screening without having to try to
second guess Council.
Mr. Buquet stated that the intent when fireworks were first allowed was to
help create a revenue generating source for service organizations. His
concern now was there is a great deal of inequities in the make up of the
groups. Some of the groups are over 1000 in members and other groups are less
than 100. He felt there were organizations on the list that desperately
needed the money, and there were other groups that this would be icing on the
cake. He felt the present system needed to be evaluated by the Council and
some type of strong policy determinations needed to be made. He felt there
were some abuses in that some of the groups on the list were so similar in
concept. He felt there needed to be some strict guidelines set regarding the
kind of groups to be allowed a booth, and a very tight accounting process
needed to be followed up concerning how the funding was being utilized.
Mr. Dahl agreed with Mr. Buquet's appraisal. He felt they should deal with
determining the criteria in which the organizations obtain the booths. The
organization should show us in advance what their plans were for the use of
the funds which would be of public benefit. There should be an accounting of
the profits after the booths are closed showing the amount of profit that has
been taken in by each organization to assure that we know the amount of money
that should be allocated for public type funding, and a time frame should be
submitted for the expending of the monies for the public benefit. Then after
this has been accomplished, another accounting should be done to show that all
of the funds which were agreed upon to be spent for this particular project
were expended.
Mayor Mikeis stated in other words, a review of the benefits and an audit.
Mr. Dahl stated yes.
Mayor Mikeis concurred with the comments by the other councilmen that we
needed to tighten up the process.

Mr. Buquet stated a subcommittee should be appointed to look into this in
greater detail. Council concurred with the Mayerrs appointment of Mr. Buquet
and Mr. Frost to head the committee and come back as quickly as possible after
reviewing criteria for eligibility, type of groups, budgets and audit
situations, etc.
Mr. Robinson asked Council for direction regarding the groups on the list for
1983. Council concurred that the 1983 groups remain as is. This would not
affect them.
Mr. Dahl suggested putting a freeze on additional names until after the
committee report.
Motion: Moved by Dahl to put a freeze on until after the committee report.
The motion failed for lack of a second.
Motion: Moved by Dahl, seconded by Buquet to place a freeze on additions to
the list. Motion carried by following vote:
AYES: Dahl, Buquet, Mikels
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
ABSTAINED: Schlosser and Frost
Mr. Frost stated he abstained because he submitted the name of the Etiwanda
Historical Society, and he desired that the record not suggest that he had any
type of predetermination this action would be taken tonight.
Mr. Sehlosser stated that he did not believe we should have the sale of fire
works in the city. This has always been his position.

transportation system linking Los Angeles with Las Vegas is completed. The
report states that a 250 mph Maglev system can be built by 1991 and will
operate profitably. Item requested by Mayor Mikels.
Mayor Mikels stated he placed this on the Agenda since the potential terminus
of the train would be near 1-10 and 1-15. They were talking about a parking
lot for approximately 7,000 cars. There will be an impact upon our city as
well since it is proposed that under the Ontario alternative, the right-of-way
along 1-15 on the east side will be utilized to come down through our area to
that terminus. A draft has been included in the agenda packet which would be
signed by Supervisor Townsend and John Longville as President of the San

respect to seekir~ our support. Mayor Mikels felt we should go on record now
if we have any concerns or comments.

use this type of funding whether it was public or private to develop
a transportation system to benefit an undesirable industry. He felt
there were other transportation problems where these funds could be
used. He would like to see Council go officially on record opposing
the whole project.

Cucamonga City Council is in opposition to the Lag Vegas Maglev System.
Mr. Frost read sections of John Longville's letter in their agenda packet.
Specific questions and clarification of items in the Environmental Impact
