Staff report City Council Minutes December 1, 1982 Page 3 Mayor Mikels asked if the subcommittee had anything to report. Mr. Buquet stated that they had nothing further to report. It was now up to the council and the direction they wished to go. Mayor Mikels opened the meeting for public hearing on the draft ordinance. Addressing Council were: *Sam Rodda, chairman of the Rancho Cucamonga owners committee, stated that they are very happy with the status and wording of the proposed ordinance. *Howard Sunderland, owner of Chapparel Heights, stated that since an EIR is a legal requirement, he would like to see this done before an ordinance is prepared. *Ron Dlugi, 6611 Bandola Drive, expressed concern with the ordinance itself. He felt this was rent control and was concerned over the impact of rent control. He expressed a desire to establish a committee to work with the realtors and council regarding this matter. *Harry Pate urged passage of the ordinance as soon as possible. *Ed Hadka urged council to approve the ordinance. *Don Morrison spoke in opposition to what Mr. Dlugi stated. He opposed the comment that Santa Monica was like Rancho Cucamonga and called them communist. He stated that a parkowner had made a similar statement at a recent meeting. *Waren Hilgrin, owner of Foothill Mobile Manor, encouraged council to stay with the ordinance they already had and to get a group together to meet. *Art Bridge spoke against rent control although he was very sympathic to' those in the audience. However, he expressed concern that rent control would stop future development of mobile home parks. There being no further public input, Mayor Mikels closed the public hearing. After some discussion by Council of the proposed ordinance, Mayor Mikels presented a list of his observations pointing out the expense of doing an EIR, staff time involved, court costs, future litigation costs for the tenants, possible deterioration of parks, plus the cost of administering the ordinance. Motion: Moved by Schlosser, seconded by Frost to discontinue consideration of the proposed ordinance and to stay with the present ordinance. Councilman Dahl stated that the existing ordinance should be changed and have some binding arbitration added. Councilman Frost felt that rent control would be critical to the future development of the City. We need all types of housing for all income levels, and rent control would be very restrictive. Mr. Buquet stated that council needed to make a decision to proceed, but he was wondering what kind of punitive results could come about because of the work that already has been done. He felt Couneil should be watchful for this so that it would not happen. Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: Schlosser, Frost, Mikels. NOES: Dahl, Buquet. ABSENT: None.

CITY MANAGER'S STAFF REPORTS City Council Minutes December 1, 1982 Page 5 5A. REPORT FROM TRAFFIC ADVISORY CO~ITTEE REGARDING CROSSING GUARD REQUEST AT TURNER AVENUE AND 25TH STREET. Staff report by Lauren Wasserman. The City's Traffic Committee reviewed the request for a crossing guard and has determined that the intersection does not meet the warrants which are adopted by the State and used by local agencies. Although the intersection does have approximately 65 school children crossing in the morning and more than 100 in the afternoon, the vehicular traffic is less than one-half the volume recommended by the State. Therefore, the Traffic Committee has recommended against the placement of a crossing guard at the intersection. Mr. Wasserman also reported that since the issue was presented to the City, the City has installed a pedestrian crosswalk at 25th Street and Turner Avenue, appropriate speed limit signed noting a school zone, and a center line has been painted on Turner Avenue in order to properly direct traffic through the area. Mayor Mikels opened the meeting for public comments. There being none, the public portion of the meeting was closed. Motion: Moved by Dahl, seconded by Frost to concur with the findings and recommendations of the Traffic Committee and to deny the request for a crossing guard. Motion carried unanimously 5-0. 5B.

Mayor Mikeis opened the meeting for public input. Addressing Council were: *Doug Hone expressed that there were a number of drainage situations that were not uniform and felt that another Assessment District should be formed to address the Hellman Avenue problem. *Ken Willis expressed thanks to the City. There being no further input from the public, the public portion of the meeting was closed. Motion: Moved by Schlosser, seconded by Buquet to proceed with the District formation and to authorize the mayor to execute agreements with Associated Engineers for $166,000 for design and $25,000 for assessment engineering to be drawn from storm drain fees, and approve the guarantee of payment and lien agreements. Motion carried unanimously 5-0. (~) 5C CONSIDERATION OF SELF-FUNDING INSURANCE PLAN. Mr. Wasserman presented the (~) staff report. Mr. Wasserman stated that the city attorney has suggested that we should require the company to provide a fidelity bond for those individuals working for the company in order to have some protection through bonds in case the company fails.

ADDED ITEM: CONSIDERATION OF CHRISTMAS HOUSE PURCHASE Item was added at the request of Councilman Buquet; therefore, Mr. Buquet presented a report to Council. He stated that he had been approached by some people that the Christmas House was up for sale. He had made several contacts with San Bernardino County and the City of Ontario to see if some type of joint effort might be made to purchase the Christmas House since it was of historic interest. After a lengthy discussion, Council concurred that there was not enough time to put together a joint venture package with San Bernardino County and the City of Ontario by the December 15th deadline for bids. Also, doubt was expressed by some of the councilmembers that anyone would spend $200,000 and then turn around and tear the project down. Council concurred that funds were not available several years ago when the project first came before Council at a selling price of $60,000, and funds were still not available today for the project. In order to protect the property, Council referred the item to the Historical Commission to look into the possibility of changing the historical designation from that of Historinal Interst to Historical Landmark. the meeting. p.m. ADJOURNMENT.
