The regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga was held in the Lion's Park Community Center, 9161 Base Line Road on Wednesday, April 7, 1982. The meeting was called to order at 7:05 p.m. by Mayor Phillip D. Schlosser. Present were: City Council members: James C. Frost, Jon D. Mikels, Michael A. Palombo, and Mayor Phillip D. Schlosser. Also present were: City Manager, Lauren M. Wasserman; Assistant City Manager, Jim Robinson; City Attorney, Robert Dougherty; Community Development Director, Jack Lam; City Engineer, Lloyd Hubbs; Finance Director, Harry Empey; and Community Services Director, Bill Holley. Absent: Councilman Arthur H. Bridge, who was ill. Approval of Minutes of March 3, 1982. Motion: Moved by Mikels, seconded by Palombo to approve the minutes. Motion carried 4-0-1. 2. ANNOUNCEMENTS. a. Mayor Schlosser made a presentation proclaiming April as California's first "Neighborhood Watch Month." Receiving the Proclamation were: Cindy Philips, Dick Van Der Wyk, and Anne Calinsky. b. Mayor Schlosser made a presentation to the Chamber of Commerce recognizing them for their participation in the development of the Industrial Specific Plan. Receiving the award were Don Hardy and Paul Mindrin of the Chamber of Commerce. c. Mr. Wasserman announced there would be a special meeting on Tuesday, April 20, to certify the results of the election and to install the new councilmembers. d. Councilman Mikels reported from the SCAG Executive Committee held last Thursday that the County had received the least amount of benefit from the new State trans- portation funding formula. However, there was another smaller State fund available, and they were successful in getting an amendment added into the Regional Transporta- tion Plan which would give priority to those counties not getting the minimum amount provided by the formula. San Bernardino County being the most disadvantaged with regard to transportation funding will have top priority from a smaller State fund. e. Councilman Palombo announced he would be leaving early. f. Councilman Frost announced there probably would not be a May meeting of the Etiwanda Specific Plan Group. He added that Councilman Bridge had been serving as the alternate for that group. Since he would be retiring from council, perhaps Council should give some thought whether they wanted to continue having Mr. Bridge serve in that capacity as a civil member, or to be replaced. This should be dis- cussed at the April 21st meeting. g. Councilman Frost announced he had artended the League Revenue and Taxation Committee last Thursday. Of significant interest was AB-2753 which was a clean up bill for AB- 1934, which authorized fire districts to levy special benefit assessments for fire protection and prevention. They were trying to put a rider on this to include city fire departments within the scope of AB-1934. h. Councilman Mikels stated that at a recent SANBAG meeting they saw a presentation from a consultant hired by the Board of Supervisors to do a feasibility study on a conversion of waste-to-fuel program. Phase I of the study has been completed and it was found to be economically possible and would save money. j. Mr. Wasserman requested an addition to the Redevelopment Agenda, to extend the statutes of limitation with the Foothill Fire District. City Council Minutes April 7, 1982 Page 2 k. Councilman Frost announced that council needed to select a representative to serve on the LAFC Board. He suggested John Longville. Council reminded Mr. Frost that Mr. Palombo had offered to serve on this board.

Addressing Council were: -Ken Ketner, developer. He requested an extension since they had not met all the requirements, except on the density. Nor have they been able to meet with the homeowners' group. He had requested meetings with the homeowners, but they had been denied. Mayor Schlosser stated that since they did not have a full council, perhaps they should wail until they did since this was a sensitive issue. Councilman Frost stated that he wasn't interested in another continuance. Councilman Mikels stated that a full council next time would not be the same council that was present last time. He asked what would be gained by a continuance? -~Mr. Ketner stated that they had not been given a fair shake and he had been denied a meeting with the homeowners. -Bill Conger, one of the homeowners, stated that they had taken a telephone poll of the homeowners, and they had decided that council should stick to the 9 per acre figure. There being no further response from the public, the public hearing was closed. Motion: Moved by Frost to set the density at 9 units per acre and to adopt Ordinance No. 165. Motion failed for lack of a second. Councilman Mikels requested that the public hearing be opened again for more input. Mayor Schlosser opened the meeting for public hearing. Councilman Mikels asked if there was a proposal to present to the homeowners since Mr. Conger was now out of the hospital, and now could meet. -Mr. Conger stated that they have met with Mr. Ketner, but not as an entire group of homeowners, but as the governing board. When polling the home- owners by elephone, the overwhelming majority wanted to stop at the 9 units per acre. He stated that on the density issue, they were at a standstill. -Mr. Ketner stated that the meeting referred to was prior to the last city council meeting.

They needed to sit down with them and develop a project that they liked. -Cheryl Moody stated they have not given Mr. Ketner the meeting he requested, but she felt this would not change anything.

CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORTS. There were none. ADDED ITEM: Councilman Mikeis stated that the Community Services Department of the County, the senior nutrition program, was sending out to bid the s~pervision of the County-run senior nutrition sites in Ontario, Chino, and Rancho Cucamonga. Councilman Mikeis stated he had obtained a bid package and had forwarded it to Mr. Holley. The main purpose of that bid was to bid on the Older American Acts Funding which the County now receives to provide the revenue for that program. Motion: Moved by Mikels, seconded by Schlosser to submit a bid to the Community Services Department on behalf of the City of Rancho Cucamonga for our own senior nutitton center, after examination of the bid package. (Councilman Palombo left the meeting). Discussion followed between Councilmen Frost and Mikels regarding whether we should take on this responsibility since the system was working well by a combination of County supervision and the local group giving direction on a voluntary basis. Concern was expressed by Mr. Frost whether this would add another responsibility to existing city staff. Mr. Mikels pointed out that the program would be changing on April 9 anyway. The original motion was restated and clarified as follows: Motion: Moved by Mikels, seconded by Schlosser to submit the bid package; and prior to its approval, to come back as an agenda item for consideration. Council could withdraw the bid at that time. Motion carried as follows: AYES: Frost, Mikels, Schlosser. NOES:None. ABSENT: Palombo and Bridge. Mr. Frost stated he was interested in keeping the program within the city, but not to spend any more city resources then we are currently doing. He felt hesitant to make any commitments in case this should be deleted from the federal budget, and the city would have to pick up the tab in order to continue existing service levels. 7.
