Lauren Wasserman introduced the item. Item had been inadvertently left off the Agenda. However, advertising had been made and several were present to address ~he issue. Mr. Wasserman stated that because of changes in the apportionment, there were approximately $57,000 additional funds. Therefore, Council must hold pu!~ic hearings on how to fund the $57,000. In the past Council has directed the revenue sharing funds toward offsetting the costs of the sheriff's contract. It is staff's recommendation that this additional amount also be directed toward public services. Mayor pro tem Bridge opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing Council was: Herb Williams, who works at the Neighborhood Center on Arrow. He pointed out that the Center needed improvements in the kitchen; namely, ventilation and additional space. He stated that they are serving approximately 1300 meals each month from the small inadequately ventilated kitchen. He also pointed out that there was inadequate parking space for the number of people that used the facility. Nellie Ayala, who also works at the Neighborhood Center dispensing food. She concurred with Mr. Williams in that the kitchen was too inefficient with poor ventilation and inadequate space. There being no further public input, Mayor pro tem Bridge closed the public hearing. Councilman Mikels asked staff to look into the parking congestion. Mr. Wasserman stated that the City had received petitions from the senior citizens today and staff was already looking into this. Perhaps something could be worked out with the Chino Basin Water District regarding joint parking. Councilman Frost recommended that the item be continued to the November 4 meeting for the second public hearing. Council concurred. Mayor pro rem Bridge called a recess at 7:55 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 8:00 with all members of Council and staff present. 5. CItY MANAGER'S STAFF REPORTS. (18) 5A. AWARD OF CONTRACT TO CONSTRUCT A PORTION OF PALO ALTO STREET. Mr. Hubbs pre- sented the staff report. Mr. Hubbs stated that this item had not been included in the budget. However, staff felt it was the best approach to enter into a contract now with the school's contractor, and to complete the work at the same time. It would be cheaper to do this than to go out to bid ourselves. Mayor pro tem Bridge opened the meeting for public hearing. There being no response, the public hearing was closed. ,*~ .... T ..... ""rT- -T'1? City Council Minutes October 21, 1981 Page 7 Councilman Palombo stated that we should continue the item until Council had more time to investigate this. Councilman Mikels asked the city engineer what implications would come from deferring the item or not taking action now. Mr. Hubbs stated that no action would increase expenditure. The school's contractor would be there now. We would have to go out for bids. There would be a time loss, advertising costs, and we could end up with higher costs. Councilman Mikels asked Mr. Hubbs if Ne felt confident that the situation which developed has been worked out so that there wnuld not be a reoccurrence of this happening again. Mr. Hubbs answered that hopefully this would not occur again since we have made out position clear with the school district. Mr. Hubbs pointed out that at this time it was more cost efficient to use the school's contractor. He said the school district has stated that they would not uae the architect of this project again. Councilman Mikels asked if there was a way we could be assured that this would not happen again by somehow checking before the plans go to the State. Mr. Hubbs stated that it would take the cooperation of the school districts. He felt in this case that the school district had learned its lesson. We have not had any problems with any other school district in the past. Mr. Wasserman asked if whether a letter to the school district's superintendent and board to indicate council's concern and that we did not want it to happen again would be appropriate. Motion: Moved by Mikels to approve using the school district's contractor to complete the street and to send a letter to the school district's school board and superintendent indicating our concern that it not happen again. Councilman Frost stated that as a matter of courtesy perhaps we should require school districts that the city review plans before sending them to the State. Mr. Hubbs said there was no simple procedure to accomplish this. A school district is not under any legal mandate to seek the city's approval. Councilman Mikels stated that one concern we must be concerned with and that is our liability exposure. Councilman Frost disagreed. He said the school district is in the same position as the city with a fixed budget. Mikels suggested that a subcommittee of the council meet with the school district board to resolve the problems. Motion: Moved by Frost, seconded by Palombo to approve the expenditure of one half of the cost if the school district agrees to bear the other half of the amount. Vote on the motion was as follows: AYES: Frost and Palombo. NOES: Bridge and Mikel$. Councilman Mikels recommended the appointment of two representatives from Council as a subcommittee to work with a subcommittee of the School Board to negotiate this. Mr. Dougherty suggested that a special meeting could be held on Thursday, October 29 to approve the final negotiations. Motion: Moved by Mikels, seconded by Frost to appoint a subcommittee to negotiate with a subcommittee of the school board and to set a special meeting of the council for Thursday, October 29 at 6:00 p.m. in the Lion's Park Community Center to finalize the problem. Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: Frost, Mikels, Palombo, Bridge. NOES: None. ABSENT: Schlosser. Council concurred in appointing Councilman Mikels and Council Frost to this sub- committee. City Council Minutes October 21, 1981 Page 8 RDA 5B. REQUEST DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL REGARDING DEC~IMBER REDEVELOPMENT MEETINGS. Mr. Wasserman pointed out that in order to meet our deadlines in the redevelop- ment schedule, we need to schedule a third meeting in December. There is a public hearing scheduled for December 2. On December 16 the first reading of the ordinance will be held. We need a third date in order to hold the second reading of the ordinance which must be at least five days after the first reading. Staff recommends the date of December 23 at 6:00 p.m. for the special meeting. General concensus of Council was to approve the date if necessary, but for staff to try to cut the process in order that the second reading could be done earlier. (19) 5C. REQUEST TO AUTHORIZE STAFF TO SEEK PROPOSALS FOR ARCHITECTURAL SERVI~'] FOR THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER. Staff report by Jim Robinson. Mr. Robinson pointed out that the city has been at a disadvantage since the county has selected their architect and construction managers. He said the city does not want to be left with an area designated on the site which may prove to be incompatible with a future city hall. He recommended that Council authorize staff to seek qualification statements from potential architects to design the future city hall and to assist in the completion of the master plan for the site. And, that council also make appointments to a selections committee to review potential architects. Motion: Moved by Frost, seconded by Mikels to authorize staff to send out requests for qualifations, and to appoint a selections committee comprising of two council members, two planning commissioners, and three staff members. Motion carried 4-0-1. Councilman Bridge suggested that the planning commissioners be selected by the council. Motion: Moved by Bridge, seconded by Frost to appoint Phil Schlosser and Jon Mikels as council appointees to the selections committee, and to have the sub- committee select the two planning commissioners to serve with them; and to have the selections committee pick three or more of the top applicants to present to council for final selection. Motion carried 4-0-1 (Schlosser absent). (20) 5D. ITEM FROM CONSENT CALENDAR: APPROVAL OF COOPERATIVE STUDY ON THE DAY-ETIW~NDA- SAN SEVAINE DRAINAGE SYSTEM. Report by Lloyd Hubbs. Staff had recommended approval to proceed on a cooperative drainage study to esta- blish a plan for the Day, Etiwanda, and San Sevaine Creeks and to authorize $15,000 to fund the city portion. Mayor pro tem opened the meeting for public input. There being none, the public portion was closed. Motion: Moved by Mikels, seconded by Palombo to approve the staff's recommendation subject to the following conditions: 1. There be a cost sharing of $15,000 from Fontana, Ontario, and $30,000 from San Bernardino and Riverside County Flood Control Districts with remaining funds coming from the priviate sector. 2.
