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. XII. NEW BUSINESS 41 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. 50 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. CITY COUNCIL MEETING Page 6, 1-21-91 Motion carried 5-0. 104 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. ,In 5.

Nick Burkey, Program Manager for Continental Cable, stated that new microphones and sound system were recently installed in the Council Chambers and an ambient microphone would be needed to pick up audience response by the cable system. Councilmember Pontious stated she would vote against then expenditure of the money as an obligation to the Tustin taxpayers, not to benefit those who spoke in opposition. Mayor Pro Tem Puckett stated he supported North Tustin's right to incorporate and would oppose the expenditure for the study. Councilmember Prescott stated he favored the analysis because the City had a vested interest in North Tustin and explained that an adjacent, fiscally unsound new city could have a detrimental affect on Tustin. It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Prescott, to request LAFCO have the Fiscal Analysis of the Feasibility of the Community of North Tustin reviewed by the State Controller and authorize the $20,000 deposit.
