Mr. Dougherty stated that this was not binding on the ABC, but Council could give them their recommendations in this form. Item D: Approval of resolution establishing fee increases for dog licenses. Councilman Mikels said there were some changes in the fee shcedule, and Mrs. Fry~an was present to explain those changes. Mrs. Fryman said the senior citizen license that the Chaffey Humane Society offers to the citizens of the four cities that they service is predicated on a Board motion by the Humane Society. There is nothing in the State Code or the County Code that says senior citizens are entitled to a license at a lesser rate. She said their Board came up with the idea of offering half price licenses to senior citizens. It was their intent that the number of licenes an individual senior citizen could obtain would be limited to the number of dogs the zoning within the city would allow. The Board felt that if a senior citizen could afford to feed and care for more than that number of animals, then they do not belong in the low income. Therefore, there is a restriction of the number of licenses which is sold at half rate. Mrs. Fryman said this is not spelled out in the Resolution. So that this be clarified and all would understand, the Board suggested the change to include a limit of three animals to citizens of 65 years of age and over. After considerable discussion, Council concurred that the zoning only allowed two dogs in Rancho Cucamonga, therefore, the Resolution should reflect this number. Councilman Mikels suggested the following language for the fifth paragraph: "Be it further resolved that senior citizens over sixty-five years, with proof of age, shall be charged one-half of the applicable license fee, for a maximum of two dogs, not including any penalty owed." Motion: Moved by Palombo, seconded by Mikels to approve Resolution No. 81-79 with the suggested change by Councilman Mikels. Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: Mikels, Palombo, Bridge, and Schlosser. NOES: Frost ABSENT: None. Councilman Frost said he wanted to see the Resolution stand as it was originally because to further restrict this adds some additional costs in staff time, some public inconvenience, and the possibility this might discourage people from ownership be- cause of economic reasons where the primary rationale in dog license is disease control. We need to encourage licensing so we have control on rabies vaccinations in particular. He said that restrictions on this might not encourage that end. Item L: Councilman Mikels asked for clarification of the statement in Mr. Mann's letter referring to subsequent review of improvement plans. Mr. Hubbs stated that there would not be any subsequent reyiew of plans. He outlined the process to Councilman Mikels'satisfaction. Motion: Moved by Palombo, seconded by Bridge to approve the Consent Calendar with the deletion of items "B", "C", "D", and "J". Motion carried unanimously 5-0. Councilman Frost abstained on item "L" and Councilman Mikels abstained on item "P". At 8:00 p.m. Mayor Schlosser called a recess. The meeting reconvened at 8:15 p.m. with all members of staff and council present. Councilman Bridge stated that during the break he talked with staff regarding item J. His concerns were not related to the acceptance of the Parcel Map. He, therefore, moved to approve Item J. Seconded by Palombo. Motion for approval of P.M. 6246 was carried unanimously 5-0.

CITY M~AGER'S STAFF REPORTS. (25) 5A. REQUEST FROM THE P~A~NCHO CUCAMONGA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. The Chamber of Commerce has requested financial assistance from the City in the amount of $24,000. The Chamber has proposed an agreement between the City and Chamber to provide specific services to the City. Lauren Wasserman presented the request stating that in view of the City's critical budget situation, combined with the uncertainty of pending state legislation regarding local subventions, staff recommended that no action be taken at this time. Mayor Schlosser opened the meeting for public comment. Addressing Council in favor of Council supporting the request were: Don Hardy, President of the Chamber of Commerce Bob Salazar, Board member of the Chamber John Mannerino, Board member of the Chamber Council made the following comments: Councilman Mikels stated that while he sees some problems with the request as stated, he felt it may be worthwhile to both the City and Chamber to explore the feasibility of some projects from which a joint effort might result in some cost savings to both organizations. He said he would be in favor of the Mayor appointing a committee to explore those possibilities. Councilman Mikels volunteered to serve on that Committee. Councilman Palombo stated he also volunteered to serve on the Committee. Councilman Bridge stated he was a supporter of and a believer in a Chamber of Commerce within a city. He said he was not in favor of the city funding the Chamber. There were times when the Chamber could have opposite ideas from the City Council and staff. This viewpoint was necessary and good, however, if the Chamber were being aided financially by the City, this would preclude their benefit in this area. Bob Salazar stated that he did not feel they were there to plead for financial aid. He said the Chamber does a job for the city. There are a lot of things which if the Chamber did not do, the City would have to do. He felt they were asking for something for services rendered. Mayor Schlosser said the Chamber received a letter from him in which he stated he did not approve of the City giving financial support to the Chamber. The Council had just received a memo from the Finance Director this evening that the City will be losing funds amount to $750,000. He did not see how the City could help support the Chamber financially. Councilman Frost said that as for as his position he would reiterate what the others had said. As far as budgetary allocations, he also felt that it was not appro- priate in that it is questionable what position the City is going to be in financially, although he realized this was a matter of priorities. He did feel that the suggestion for representatives of Chamber and Council to get together to come up with alternatives to where the City can benefit the Chamber by providing an atmosphere where there are not direct ties, but areas of assistance so the Chamber can provide their own funding was a good one. He said that as far as a budgetary commitment from the City, it was not appropriate at this time. Councilman Palombo stated that rather than voting, he would rather leave this open and explore the possibilities. He felt the City and Chamber should work together to do this. Mr. Hardy said they were not asking for a gift, but were asking for assistance. He liked Councilman Mikels' suggestions. Jeff Sceranka requested that Council consider a two man committee to meet with the Chamber during the next two week period as Councilman Mikels suggested. City Council Minutes June 3, 1981 Page 9 Motion: Moved by Frost, seconded by Schlosser to instruct the Finance Director not to include the request in the draft budget. Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: Frost, Mikels, Bridge, Schlosser. NOES: Palombo. ABSENT: None. Motion: Moved by Mikels, seconded by Palombo to appoint a two-man committee to address philosophical issues and look at some ways some specific projects could be done within the confines of the existing budget. Motion carried unanimously 5-0. Mayor Schlosser said they had two volunteers to serve on the committee to work with the Chamber. They were Councilmen Mikels and Palombo. Councilman Frost stated that the Council was really for the Chamber and did not want the action taken to be construed as being against the Chamber. Added Item: Mayor Schlosser asked Councilmen Mikels and Bridge if they had a (26) name to present Council for approval to fill the vacancy on the Historical Commission. Councilman Bridge said that they would like to recommend the appointment of Millicent Arner. Motion: Moved by Bridge, seconded by Mikels to appoint Millicent Arner to the Historical Commission. Motion carried unanimously 5-0. 6. CITY ATTOP~NEY'S REPORTS. Mr. Dougherty reported that the Mark III case will be continued to the 26th of June. 7. ADJOURNMENT. Motion: Moved by Palombo, seconded by Mikels to adjourn to an Executive Session not to reconvene this evening. Motion carried unanimously 5-0. %he meeting adjourned at 9:10 p.m. to the next regularly scheduled meeting on June 17, 1981. Respectfully submitted, Beverly Authelet Deputy City Clerk
