PUBLIC HEARINGS Ae CONSIDERATION OF A MOBILE HOME RENT STABILIZATION ORDINANCE. Item was continued to the November 3rd meeting for discussion. Staff report by Jim Robinson. Bob Dougherty reported that at the last meeting the attorney representing the mobilehome park owners claimed that the draft ordinance under council discussion was considered as a "project" within the meaning of CEQA and that an environmental impact report would be required prior to the ordinance approval. Mr. Dougherty stated that what was referred to was an opinion issued by Legislative Counsel of California. After reviewing the opinion, Mr. Dougherty stated that it was his opinion that generally such an enactment would be subject to the provisions of that Act and would require the preparation of either an environmental impact report or a negative declaration. Therefore, an initial study would have to be done before the adoption of an ordinance since this would come under the definition of "project" as referred to in CEQA. Mr. Frost asked how these are relevant to local rent controls. Mr. Dougherty stated that ordinance will include in the amptus CEQA and that the courts have held that other type of ordinances are subject to the Act. Mr. Dougherty stated that he also looked at the Attorney General's opinion in which stated that "Ordinances and Resolutions adopted by a local agency are 'projects' within the meaning of CEQA. If the Ordinance or Resolution is discretionary in nature, is not categorically exempt, and my have a significant effect on the environment, an environmental impact report must be prepared before approval." Mr Dahl stated that has a member of the Committee which brought forth a recommendation at the last meeting and since many items have come to light with additional data yet to come, he would like to continue this to the next meeting in order to digest the material and come back with a further recommendation. Motion: Moved by Dahl, seconded by Schlosser to continue the item to December 1, 1982. Mayor Mikels opened the meeting for public hearing. Council were: Addressing *Jack Emerson, Chapparel Heights Mobile Home Park, asked what the residents should do that have leases before them now for consideration. There being no further comments, the Mayor closed the meeting to public comments. (12) (13) (14) City Council Minutes November 3, 1982 Page 4 Mr. Dahl stated that the ordinance they have before them as written would be retroactive. Mayor MikeIs opened the meeting for further public comments: *Mr. Grossman, Alta Laguna, wanted to know whether they should pay their rents now. Mayor Mikels stated that they were not in s position to advise them. They would have to consult their own attorney. There being no further public comments, the public portion of the meeting was closed. Mr. Buquet expressed that we were compounding the problem by extending this so far for the City, park owners, and park tenants. He felt this should be dealt with sooner. Mr. Dahl stated that he felt likewise. If we could get all the neecessary information sooner, then this could be put on the agenda sooner. Mr. Frost expressed that perhaps the time frame would not allow for input from the others. Discussion followed as to when this should come back to council. Motion to continued to December 1, 1982 was approved by the following vote: AYES: Dahl, Schlosser, Frost, Mikeis. NOES: Buquet. ABSENT: None.

MANAGER'S STAFF REPORTS REPORT ON TRAFFIC SIGNAL STUDY ON BASE SCHOOL Staff report by Lloyd Hubbs. LINE AT ALTA LOMA HIGH City Council Minutes November 3, 1982 Page 5 Mr. Buquet stated there were a combination of factors such as speed, traffic, parking, parking lot ingress and egress which create the problems at the high school. At a recent meeting with the students, he discussed with them that the City has other needy locations for signal lights. Mayor ~Ltkels opened the meeting for public input. Addressing Council Were: *Norman Guith, 6215 Hellman Avenue, Alta Loma. He went over some similar situations in Riverside showing that installation of a traffic signal does not necessarily cut do~nl accidents, but often causes more. *Gary Brown, 6439 Zircon, addressed the use of a crossing guard or a volunteer. *Ray Reyburn, principal at Alta Loma High School, appreciated steps already taken by the City and expressed all three recent accidents were because of carelessness and may or may not have changed if a traffic signal were there. *Pam Wright, representing the PTSA Board urging and supporting a resolution of the problem; suggesting that the entrance to the Park parking lot be changed to front Vineyard Avenue instead of Base Line, and to install some barriers to prevent Jay walking from the park. *Mike Perry, student body president at Alta Loma High School, suggested that perhaps a bridge could be installed. *Darrell Fulkerson suggested that some temporary lights be installed to see if they did help the situation. *Paul Sadana reported ways in which some students have suggested to earn funds to help the city in this situation. *Sharon Romere recommended that the gates to the front of the school be closed, thus causing the foot traffic to be diverted to the sides of the school. Therefore, eliminating the necessity for crossing in front of the school. *Andy Moffett smitted a draft drawing of a stop sign which were used in the East and very effective -- the sign had a flip top which could be lowered during school hours, and raised at other times. *Livia Vallance stated she liked the plan which had been submitted by the city staff. *Pat Hyler, had been put in charge of the Foothill Council Safety Program. She made a presentation offering to send out a safety survey to include the high school, Junior high school, elementary schools and newpapers. Once the results were in they would present it to our engineering department. *David Pedrocelli, student at Alta Loma High, expressed approval of the change in the driveway. *Melvin Futrell, 2623 Topaz Street, urged a solution to the problem. *Mary Moffitt, Alta Loma school bus driver, suggested that a policeman could be used for safety crossing. (i7) (iS) City Council Minutes November 3, 1982 Page 6 *Rose Gustarson inquired if we had investigated getting a used stop light from Caltrans. There being no further comments, Mayor Mikels closed the public portion of the meeting. Motion: Moved by Dahl to proceed with the authorization for engineering services for the light to be in conjunction with the school board determination with the realignment of the parking lot egress and ingress with Vineyard Avenue. M~-. Schlosser was interested in the engineering study in order to be sure we would be doing it right and actually be resolving the problem. Mr. Buquet felt we should investigate more thoroughly what would happen when the traffic signal was installed. He felt more people would use Vineyard as a shortcut to Carnelian, and would create more traffic problems at that point. Motion by Mr. Dahl died for a lack of a second. Motion: Moved by Schlosser, seconded by Dahl to proceed with the engineering and traffic study and authorize purchase of the light. If the engineering study shows that the light is not necessary at this location, then the light could be used elsewhere in the community. Mr. Hubbs pointed out that the proposal establishes our design for that particular site and probably the light could not be used elsewhere. After further discussion, Mr. Dahl withdrew his second. Mr. Buquet seconded Mr. Sehlosser's motion. Both concurred the motion should also state that this all would be in conjunction with the School Board's determination regarding the alignment of the parking lot entrances with Vineyard Avenue. Motion carried unanimously 5-0. Mayor Mikeis called a recess at 10:15 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 10:35 p.m. with all members of council and staff present. PROPOSAL MODIFICATIONS TO EMPLOYEE RULES AND REGULATIONS AFFECTING EMPLOYEE EDUCATION, DISCIPLINE, TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT Staff report by Jim Robinson. Motion: Moved by Frost, seconded by Buquet to adopt Resolution No. 82-192, and waive the entire reading. City Clerk Wasserman read the title of Resolution No. 82-192. Motion carried unanimously 5-0 for adoption. RESOLUTION NO. 82-192 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTIONS 3.5.3 THROUGH SECTIONS 3.5.11 OF THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PERSONNEL RULES AND RGULATIONS ESTABLISHING REVISED EMPLOYEE DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES. C. REPORT ON ALTA LOMA AND RED HILL PARK BASIN STUDY Staff report by Lloyd Hubbs and Bill Holley. City Council Minutes November 3, 1982 Page 7 Mayor Mikels opened the meeting for public input. Addressing Council Was: *Ray Reyburn, principal at Alta Loma High School, stated that he could not commit the Chaffey Board of Trustees to anything, but that the school and city did have a lot of Joint use of recreational fields at the high school. They have been approached by some specific groups with plans to include a stadium. The new high school in Etiwanda will probably not have the funds to build a stadium so there will be some joint use between the high schools. He suggested that perhaps we could get some Joint planning with the youth sport groups, high schools and city to build a stadium to house a lighted soccer, baseball and football fields within the same facility. There being no further public input, Mayor Mikels closed the public portion of the meeting. Motion: Moved by Schlosser, seconded by Dahl to approve the project proposals and to authorize the Mayor to sign the agreements with Williamson and Schmid, amount not to exceed $10,300. Motion carried unanimously 5-0. 6. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORTS There were none. 7. COUNCIL BUSINESS A.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL FROM ADVISORY CO~4ISSION REGARDING PROPOSED DRAFT ORDINANCE CREATING A PARKS ADVISORY COMMISSION Bill Holley presented a brief report. (20) City Council Minutes November 3, 1982 Page 8 Mayor Mikels opened the meeting for public comments. Addressing council were: Dave Bonham, president of the Citrus Little League, felt such a committee would help in resolve their field uses and problems which the Little League has. He recommended that council continue with the formation of the Commission. *Don Baer, member of the CAC, stated he has been against the appointment of another Commission within the city. If council feels this is a must and that a fifteen-member body would be too large to handle the parks issues, then he recommended the Commission comprise of at least one member from each community on the CAC to deal with the matters and make recommendations to the Council. *Larry McNeil, 7084 Alta Questa, recommended that council proceed with the formation of the parks commission. There being no further input from the public, Mayor Mikeis closed the public portion of the meeting. Mr. Dahl recommended that we retain the Commission level for the group and that it should not be tied with the CAC. He would like to see members of the CAC on this commission however. He further recommended that we adopt the two changes recommended by the CAC which were: SECTION 6: Duties of the Parks Advisory Commission (b) The Commission shall review ®~ a~ matters relative to park and recreation facilities, such as site plan review, as requested by city council and make comments or recommendations to the city council as may be appropriate; and (c) The Commission shall make recommendations to City Council on broad, general budgetary matters,(relative to their area of responsibility,) such as developing a priority listing of capital improvements of benefit to parks and recreational facilities in Rancho Cucamonga. Motion: Moved by Dahl to approve adoption of the proposed Ordinance as revised by the CAC. Mr. Wasserman stated that the City Attorney needed to work on this since it did not mention code sections. We would bring this back at the next meeting for first reading. Motion: Moved by Dahl, seconded by Schlosser to direct staff to prepare a codifled ordinance as modified by the CAC and bring back at the next meeting for consideration. Mayor Mikels stated he would have a linkage between the membership from the CAC on the PAC. He felt it could piggyback the CAC agenda. *Don Baer expressed that usually members chould be involved on the commission, but the meetings should be held separately from the CAC meetings. Discussion followed regarding the linkage between the Citizens Advisory Commission and the Parks Advisory Commission. City Council Minutes November 3, 1982 Page 9 Motion was voted on with the following results: AYES: Dahl, Schlosser NOES: Buquet, Frost ABSTAINED: Mikels Motion: Moved by Buquet for the parks commission be selected by council from the CAC. Motion failed for lack of a second. Mr. Frost suggested that since there was a lack of a second to Mr. Buquet's motion, that council should set a special meeting to discuss the CAC and its role. Motion: Moved by Buquet, seconded by Schlosser to create a body from the CAC to deal specifically with parks and other things as outlined in Mr. Dahl's memo; that appointments be by the Mayor with ratification by the Council, and to come back at the next meeting with a draft ordinance. Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: Buquet, Sohlosser, Frost, Mikels. NOES: Dahl. C, REPORT FROM ADVISORY COMMISSION REGARDING DIRECT ELECTION OF A MAYOR Because of the lateness of the hour, council concurred that staff should put this on the agenda for the next meeting. ADJOURNMENT Motion: Moved by Dahl, seconded by Schlosser to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously 5-0. The meeting adjourned at 12:10 a.m. Respectfully submitted, Beverly Authelet Deputy City Clerk
