X. ORDINANCES FOR ADOPTION - None
XI. OLD BUSINESS
1. COUNCIL POLICY REVISION - SECTION NUMBER 1 OF POLICY 4-05, NON-
RESIDENT REGISTRATION FEES
Susan Jones, Recreation Superintendent, reported the Parks and
Recreation Commission and staff were requesting a revision of the
policy regarding the non-resident recreation fees. In August
1990, the Council reviewed the proposed policy revision and
decided more information was needed and referred the appropriate
items back to the Parks and Recreation Commission and the City
Attorney. The policy change recommended was to standardize the
non-resident recreation fee to $5.00 per class and earmark the
money to the Park Development Fund.
Mayor Edgar expressed his concern that the administrative costs—
for non-residents were not clearly defined.
William Huston, City Manager, explained that residents and non-
residents pay the instructor fees, utilities, building maintenance
costs, but the non-resident $5.00 flat fee would cover costs which
exceed the overhead costs.
Councilmember Pontious stated she was supportive of the $5.00 non-
resident fee since it would generate funding for park development.
Mayor Pro Tem Puckett said that the non-resident fee could
generate an additional $10,000 for the Park Development Fund and
supported implementation of the fee.
Councilmember Potts noted the survey revealed this concept was
utilized by the City of Cerritos and he favored the non-resident
fee.
Lois Carr, Parks and Recreation Commissioner, spoke in favor of
the proposed recommendation of a non-resident registration
recreation fee of $5.00 per class.
Council/staff discussion followed regarding fee differential, and
class fee listing in Tustin Today.
It was moved by Puckett, seconded by Pontious, to revise Section
Number 1 of Policy 4-05 (Attachment A) regarding non-resident fees
for recreation programs to be a separate $5.00 per class instead
of the percentage and earmark those funds for park development.
Motion carried 5-0.

1. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE AND SUBMITTAL OF THE CITY OF
TUSTINIS COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT DATED JUNE 30, 1990
Councilmember Potts questioned if the City maintained a fixed
percentage on a fund balance.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Page 5, 1-21-91
William Huston, City Manager, replied the City historically used
15 percent of the operating expense of the General Fund as a
reserve. The Audit Committee was in the process of recommending a
policy on the reserve for the General Fund and Water Fund.
It was moved by Puckett, seconded by Potts, to receive and file
subject report.
Motion carried 5-0.

2. REQUEST FOR WAIVER FOR SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION AT 15602 MOSHER
AVENUE
Pete Planchock, GMFanuc Robotics representative, said the request
for waiver was based upon several factors which included location
of the facility, damage to the appearance of the area because of
tree removal, lack of retail trade in the area, lack of adjoining
sidewalks, and the cost factor. He identified alternatives that
would give the City the flexibility to require sidewalks in the
future.
Mayor Pro Tem Puckett said he did not see the need for a sidewalk
presently and wanted staff and GMFanuc Robotics to meet and
investigate the alternatives.
Councilmember Pontious supported the sidewalk requirement for new
property development in the industrial area, but would not oppose
staff investigating a compromise.
Councilmembers Potts and Prescott voiced their support for
reaching a compromise.
It was moved by Puckett, seconded by Prescott, to direct staff to
r_ meet with GMFanuc Robotics and reach an agreement on one of the
four alternatives: 1) If/when future traffic increases to more
than 500 vehicles per day, sidewalks will be constructed; 2) Deed
the Mosher Avenue and Morgan Circle property to the City of Tustin
for future use; 3) If sidewalks must be. put in, allow GMFanuc
Robotics to put a sidewalk on Mosher Avenue only and deed the
Morgan Circle property to the City of Tustin for future use; and
4) Construct sidewalks if/when adjacent properties construct
sidewalk.
Council/staff/speaker discussion followed regarding participation
of owner, bus stops, pedestrian traffic in industrial areas, and
liability factor to the City.
Mr. Planchock questioned if the Certificate of Occupancy would be
delayed pending resolution by the Council.
As an addition to the motion, staff was directed to resolve the
issue prior to the February 4 Council meeting.
Motion carried 5-0. 92
3. UNDERGROUNDING OF OVERHEAD UTILITIES ON MAIN STREET BETWEEN "Cn
STREET AND THE ROUTE 55 FREEWAY
Robert Ledendecker, Director of Public Works, reported the cost of
undergrounding the utilities could be funded by the Edison Company
Rule 20A funds; however, the City currently had a deficit of Rule
20A funds and would have to borrow ahead on annual payments. He
added that this project was not included in the five-year program
for undergrounding utilities and if undertaken would supersede
projects previously scheduled.
Council/staff discussion followed regarding priority projects.
Councilmember Pontious requested adding this project to the
priority list when the list was scheduled for review.
It was moved by Puckett, seconded by Edgar, to receive and file
subject report.

4. REQUEST FOR STOP SIGNS - TUSTIN MEADOWS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
The following member of the audience spoke in favor of
installation of stop signs at Roanoke Avenue and Darsy Circle:
Rex Combs, 1642 Roanoke, Tustin
Robert Ledendecker, Director of Public Works, reported staff
reviewed the current warrant studies completed in 1990 for the
following intersections: Roanoke Avenue and Darsy Circle; Roanoke
Avenue and Kingston Avenue; Roanoke Avenue and Hampden Avenue, and
stated none of the intersections met the warrants due to low
traffic volume and low accident rate. He recommended that the
stop signs not be installed since they did not meet the warrants
and if installed could pose a potential liability to the City.
Councilmember Potts stated that with the reduced traffic on Red
Hill Avenue because of construction, more people would utilize
Roanoke Avenue and Darsy Circle and he believed a stop sign on
Roanoke Avenue was necessary.
Councilmember Pontious supported the stop sign on Roanoke Avenue
and Darsy Circle for a limited duration during the construction on
Red Hill Avenue.
Mayor Edgar reported there were circumstances, such as misuse of
side streets, that warranted unapproved stop signs. He believed
the stop sign at Roanoke Avenue and Darsy Circle would slow
traffic and perhaps alleviate potential accidents.
Mayor Pro Tem Puckett noted similar problems in the Peppertree
development had been eliminated by stop signs and recommended—
granting
ecommended—granting the Tustin Meadows' request.
It was moved by Puckett, seconded by Prescott, to authorize
installation of stop signs at the intersection of Roanoke Avenue
and Darsy Circle.
Motion carried 5-0.

the State Controller on the behalf of the City of Tustin. He
outlined several areas of concern about the Fiscal Analysis such
as Measure M and Proposition 111 funds, and it was his personal

Mayor Pro Tem Puckett stated he supported North Tustin's right to
