An additional purpose of the hearing was to review previous years' performance data. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 2, 12-19-88 Mayor Pro Tem Edgar asked if the City would be able to file directly to the Department of Housing/Urban Development, rather than through the County, when the population reached 50,000 and would the direct filing reduce the City's flexibility. Christine Shingleton responded that at the end of fiscal year 1990-91, when the City's current contract with the County expired, the City could file directly. Flexibility and funding would be increased at that time. Mayor Kennedy opened the Public Hearing at 7:10 P.M. There were no speakers regarding this agenda item and the Public Hearing was closed.

He asked when this matter would be agendized. Mayor Kennedy noted that staff required additional preparation �. time and she instructed the Community Services Department to, contact Mr. David if the subject could not be agendized for the January 16, 1989 Council meeting. 2. CALTRANS AND O.C.T.D. CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS Carole Bryant, 15500 Tustin Village Way, Tustin, spoke regarding Councilman Edgar's statement that Michael Schneider's organization in Orange had not received a contract for a flyover on the I-5/55 Interchange project. She believed it was all part of the same contract and wanted to have the record amended accordingly. Mayor Pro Tem Edgar clarified that the project had been divided into three separate contracts: one segment was from Fourth Street in Santa Ana south including all of the direct interface with Tustin Village and that contract was monitored and awarded by Caltrans; the second segment was awarded by O.C.T.D. to Mr. Schneider's firm for the portion of the transitway from Fourth Street to Santiago Creek (approximately two miles of freeway), and O.C.T.D. would be awarding the third segment for the interchange of I-5/SR22/SR57 in approximately one month. 3. PROPERTY AT 195 E. MAIN STREET John Zahn said he had leased the building at 195 E. Main Street, Tustin, and reported the difficulties he had encountered with the City in attempting to make necessary improvements due to possible historical protection. He submitted pictures to the Council to substantiate his claim of unsafe and unsanitary conditions. He said Ms. Perfit, the owner, had received negative and unsatisfactory communication from the City and he requested that the City forward a letter to Ms. Perfit indicating their willingness to cooperate and assist with the improvements. Christine Shingleton, Director of Community Development, reported there were several circumstances impacting the building and Mr. Zahn was one prospective tenant that had been subleased by CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 3, 12-19-88 Harvest House. She had very cordial conversations with Martin and June Perfit and was told that the present tenants were there illegally without benefit of sublease provisions in their existing contract. Staff was currently working with the City Attorney's office on this particular issue and wanted to reserve any discussion or determination until additional direction was received from the Deputy City Attorney. Staff will provide a report on the determination in approximately two weeks. V. CONSENT CALENDAR It was moved by Hoesterev, seconded by Edgar, to approve the Consent Calendar. Mayor Kennedy, commenting on Consent Calendar Item No. 6, said the City and staff had received negative comments regarding steps that were taken to earn conservative money on investments. The Redevelopment Agency report showed a current savings value of $1,347,000 and, due to a complicated refinancing plan that was designed and developed by Ronald Nault, Finance Director, this tremendous profit was earned for the City. There was not perfection in the plan but there was an aggressive effort in attempting to upgrade the investments of the City and protect the coffers. The motion carried 5-0. 1.

ORDINANCES FOR INTRODUCTION 1. AMENDING CHAPTER 3, SECTIONS 4311 ET. SEQ. OF THE TUSTIN CITY CODE RELATIVE TO SOLID WASTE 'COLLECTION (Corrected from Agenda — Heading: Renewal of Solid Waste Collection Franchise with Great Western Reclamation, Inc.) James Rourke, City Attorney, said the amendment was primarily a refinement of the Code with one exception of a substantive change in reference to hazardous waste. He stated it was no longer within the province of a private collection agency to handle hazardous waste and disposal, except pursuant to specific provisions of a hazardous waste collection and disposal plan. It was moved by Kelly, seconded by Edgar, that Ordinance No. 1014 have first reading by title only. The motion carried 5-0. Following first reading by title only of Ordinance No. 1014 by the City Clerk, it was moved by Hoesterey, seconded by Edgar, that Ordinance No. 1014 be introduced as follows: ORDINANCE NO. 1014 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER 3, SECTIONS 4311 ET SEQ.

STATUS REPORT - JOHN WAYNE AIRPORT (JWA) NOISE MONITORING oy PROGRAM, COALITION FOR A RESPONSIBLE AIRPORT SOLUTION (CRAB), AIRPORT SITE COALITION (ASC) AND HELICOPTER OVERFLIGHT PROGRAM TASK FORCE (HOPTF) Christine Shingleton, Director of Community Development, gave the following status reports: John Wayne Airport Noise Monitoring Program - the City's consultant, John Van Houten, would be reviewing on December 20, 1988, several aspects of the program and upon conclusion of his review would prepare a report, tentatively scheduled for submittal at the January 3, 1989 Council meeting; ORAS - has indicated their desire to have a Councilmember appointed to the CRAS Board of Directors and CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 5, 12-19-88 information requested by Council in order to make that appointment was provided in the staff report; and HOPTF - this task force was initiated by the City of Irvine to discuss relocation of several helicopter corridors that traverse the City of Irvine. In reviewing some of the task force recommendations, staff felt there could be a potential impact upon the East Tustin residential development and staff recommended that a City representative attend all task force meetings. Staff was also drafting a letter to the USMC requesting that the City be Fob% apprised of all recommendations made to the task force. Mayor Pro Tem Edgar suggested that John Kelly be appointed to serve as representative on the ORAS Board of Directors. Council concurred and Councilman Kelly accepted the appointment. After Council/staff discussion regarding the location and direction of the helicopter corridors, it was moved by Hoesterev, seconded by Edgar, that the letter forwarded to the USMC be signed by the Mayor and indicate Council support of staff's recommendation. The motion carried 5-0. 101 2. TRAFFIC STUDY AT IRVINE BOULEVARD BETWEEN YORBA STREET AND COSTA MESA (RTE. 55) FREEWAY It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Prescott, that no action be taken at this time. The motion carried 5-0. 100 IS. NEW BUSINESS 1. AUTHORIZE PURCHASE OF VEHICLES It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Hoesterev, to authorize the �.. purchase of an additional small pick-up with extended cab from Fuller Ford, Chula Vista, California, in the amount oo6f $11,247.55. The motion carried 5-0. 2. EQUIPMENT PURCHASE REQUEST It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Hoesterev, to authorize staff to solicit bids for the purchase of replacement and new equipment authorized in the 1988-89 Fiscal Budget. The motion carried 5-0. 3. AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF INTERLOCKING CONCRETE PAVER SIDEWALK ON EL CAMINO REAL AND MAIN STREET It was moved by Prescott, seconded by Edgar, to deny the award of contract to Neff Contracting Corporation and readvertise for bid beginning January 1, 1989, for a period of 45 days. Mayor Pro Tem Edgar requested, as an addition to the motion, that staff analyze why other contractors did not submit a bid and modify the bid package accordingly. Councilman Hoesterey was not convinced that interlocking bricks were the best way to proceed and wanted Council to reevaluate the project. Councilman Kelly questioned if the contractor's warranty was still in effect and, due to the hazardous condition that existed, he felt procrastination in awarding the contract would increase the City's liability. A substitute motion was made by Kelly, seconded by Hoesterev, to award a contract for subject project to Neff Contracting Corporation in the amount of $46,277 and authorize a supplemental 1988-89 budget appropriation in the amount of $47,300 from the Beautification Fund. Council/staff discussion followed regarding previous installation and design of the bricks. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 6, 12-19-88 Councilman Prescott said the contractor was proposing to lift 4200 sq. ft. of pavers, repack the soil and replace the bricks for approximately $50,000 and he felt awarding this contract was not in the best interest of the City. He wanted barricades installed to prevent the safety hazard. Mayor Kennedy was concerned about similar intersections in the City and asked Council to consider correcting the damaged area, either by use of barricades or actual repair, and review other products that would not create the same future hazard. Councilman Hoesterey wanted, as an addition to the substitute' motion, to include the investigation of possibile retribution to the City for design failures from the previous project. The substitute motion failed 2-3, Kennedy, Edgar and Prescott opposed. The original motion of (1) deny the award of contract to Neff Contracting Corporation and readvertise for bid beginning January 1, 1989, for a period of 45 days, (2) install interim safety barricades and (3) consider reviewing other products that would preserve the "Old Town" effect without the safety hazard, carried 33=2, Hoesterey and Kelly opposed. 86B 4. AMBULANCE SERVICE AGREEMENT Fred Wakefield, Acting Chief of Police,, stated the existing emergency ambulance service agreement would expire at 11:59 p.m. on December 31, 1988. Kevin Brame, Orange County Fire Department Battalion Chief, was present to answer questions regarding the provider selection and ranking procedure used by the Orange County Fire Department. Mayor Pro Tem Edgar said the current provider, Doctors Ambulance — Service, had done an excellent job for over a decade; and, if a provider had given good service for a long period without any problems, he felt uncomfortable making a change. Based upon the quality of service, he wanted to remain with the company that had previously served the community and maintain continuity. It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Kelly, to renew the agreement between the City and Doctors Ambulance Service to provide emergency medical transportation services. A question -and -answer period followed between Battalion Chief Brame and the Council, which included: who served on the selection panel and how were they selected, how long was the evaluation process, what criteria was used for evaluation, response time statistics, provider financial data, evaluation intent of the panel, and significance of and reasons for point differentials. Bruce Herren, President and co-owner of Doctors Ambulance Service, 511 E. First Street, Tustin; and Asa Herren, Vice President and co-owner of Doctors Ambulance Service, addressed the Council on their company's qualifications and the service that would be provided for the City. A question -and -answer period followed between Bruce and Asa Herren and the Council. Michael Dimas, President and owner of Medix Ambulance Service, 310 W. First Street, Tustin, addressed the Council on his company's qualifications and the service that would be provided for the City. A question -and -answer period followed between Mr. Dimas and the Council. Mr. Dimas submitted a list of 119 service, equipment or commitment "points" provided by Medix Ambulance. Mayor Kennedy expressed her concern with the difference of 113 in point value between the two companies and, technically, Medix appeared to be superior. Mayor Pro Tem Edgar stated his views on the point system and felt a dependency solely on points was not justified. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 7, 12-19-88 Bruce Tovar, President of LifeCare Ambulance, Mission Viejo, encouraged the Council to not be persuaded by the scoring. A scoring related specifically to a company's ability to write proposals, not their performance. A substitute motion made by Kennedy, to award the contract for the City of Tustin emergency medical transportation service to Medix Ambulance Service, died for lack of a second. Councilman Hoesterey proposed that the contract be awarded for a 2 -year period and Council review the County's response time data at that time. Battalion Chief Brame expressed the County's preference for a 4 -year contract. A substitute motion was made by Kennedy, seconded by Hoesterey, to continue this matter until the response times of Medix Ambulance Service and Doctors Ambulance Service could be compared. Councilman Hoesterey requested clarification of the City's position if a decision to award the contract was not made prior to expiration of the current agreement. Battalion Chief Brame said the Orange County Fire Chief could enact emergency provisions and the City would be assured of a provider. Battalion Chief Brame also cautioned the Council, if they decided to compare response times, to use comparable data. The substitute motion failed 1-4, Edgar, Hoesterey, Kelly and Prescott opposed. Councilman Hoesterey stated he did not have an overwhelming reason to change providers but felt the Council should continue to evaluate the level of care and response that the City received. The original motion carried 4-1, Kennedy opposed because Medix Ambulance Service had committed to providing two vehicles in the City, had received a higher ranking from a panel of experts, and had a technical expertise that may be superior to Doctors Ambulance Service. Council concurred to strongly recommend that Medix Ambulance Service provide secondary emergency medical transportation service to the City. 45 AGENDA ORDER NEW BUSINESS 6. BIOMEDICAL ANIMAL RESEARCH LABORATORIES, AMENDMENTS TO CITY CODE, Mayor Kennedy requested this item be considered out of agenda order. Christine Shingleton, Director of Community Development, reported on staff's survey of selected cities. The City's current Animal Code limited the number of animals, particularly rodents, to ten and prohibited primates and this provision would place a restriction on research laboratories. Biomedical research laboratories are currently controlled and monitored by the Department of Agriculture. Mayor Pro Tem Edgar was concerned that this type of research laboratory would place a burden upon staff and he was not confident that the Federal Government would adequately monitor local problems. Councilman Kelly said there were many restaurants in the City that had rodents in excess of ten and he approved of this type of activity for the betterment of medicine. It was moved by Kelly, seconded by Prescott, that the Council (1) refer to the Planning Commission a request to amend the Zoning Code to allow biomedical research in the PM & M Industrial Zones and (2) direct the Community Development Department staff CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 8, 12-19-88 to prepare an amendment to the Animal Code to allow an exemption from the numerical animal limits currently in the Code for biomedical research, provided a conditional use permit is approved. The following members of the community spoke in opposition to the motion: Judy Stricker, P.O. Box 10206, Costa Mesa Shirley Ruff, 14761 Foxcroft Rd., Tustin William McHenry, 2446 Clearbrook, Anaheim Their concerns included: adequate number of biomedical research laboratories throughout the County, lack of monitoring by State and Federal agencies, unsanitary and unhealthy conditions, environmental impact and pollution. Susan Payne, representing Bedford Properties, commented that if staff's recommendation was approved, the City would be in conformance with other cities within the County and each tenant request would be considered on an individual basis. Councilman Prescott asked if staff felt they could effectively regulate these types of laboratories. He received an affirmative response from Christine Shingleton. Mayor Kennedy said she had asked staff to survey cities of 50,000 or under because she did not want Tustin compared to cities with large geographic areas where residential areas were separated by several miles from industrial areas. Her reasons for opposition to the motion were danger to children playing in storm drains and dumpsters, buildings in the City were not constructed to house animals, unhealthy conditions created by disposal of waste products, inability of agencies to control waste products, and noise pollution. She stated that Tustin was already contributing — more than its fair share to the unpleasant necessities of civilized life. A substitute motion was made by Kennedy, seconded by Edgar, that the City Animal Code remain unchanged. Councilman Hoesterey felt that animals should be used for medical research but when a business was housed in an incompatible area, problems would arise that the City was not equipped to handle. Councilman Prescott said Tustin should be able to accommodate all types of usages and staff had indicated their ability to supervise. The substitute motion carried 3-2, Kelly and Prescott opposed.23 5. RENEWAL OF SOLID WASTE COLLECTION FRANCHISE WITH GREAT WESTERN RECLAMATION, INC. James Rourke, City Attorney, said the only item in contention was the term of the contract. It was moved by Hoesterey, seconded by Edgar, to ratify the agreement for collection and transportation of solid waste refuse produced or accumulated in the City of Tustin. Mayor Kennedy asked if the Council would be interested in discussing with Great Western the possibility of a recycling program whose revenue would be used to support the trash collection system. Mayor Pro Tem Edgar was supportive of the concept but did not want to impede the current agreement. David Ross, Vice President, Great Western Reclamation, said his company was agreeable to discussing with staff the feasibility of incorporating a recycling program. After a brief Council/staff discussion, the motion carried 5-0 and Council will address the recycling issue with Great Western Reclamation in the future. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 9, 12-19-88 M SI r'^ Councilman Prescott requested that the word "voluntary" be added to the recycling program. 45 6.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION AGENDA - DECEMBER 12, 1988 It was moved by Hoesterev, seconded by Edgar, to ratify the Planning Commission Action Agenda of December 12, 1988. The motion carried 5-0. 80 2. INVESTMENT SCHEDULE AS OF NOVEMBER 30, 1988 It was moved by Hoesterev, seconded by Edaar, to receive and file subject report. The motion carried 4-1, Prescott opposed. Councilman Prescott stated his unhappiness with the City's investment policy and wanted the Council to review the entire plan. Mayor Pro Tem Edgar supported the idea and suggested using the expertise of the Audit Committee. Council concurred to hold a joint workshop with the Audit Committee on February 6, 1989, at 5:00 p.m. 50 OTHER BUSINESS 1.

Mayor Kennedy requested agendizing the subject for the January 3, 1989 Council meeting. 4. COMMUNICATION BETWEEN CABLE DURING COUNCIL MEETING Councilman Hoesterey asked that the cable employees filming the Council meeting review their method of communication between each other. Speakers at the podium had been disrupted by cross -talk. S. ADJOURNMENT IN MEMORY OF R. KENNETH FLEAGLE AND MARTHA GREINKE Mayor Pro Tem Edgar requested the meeting be adjourned in memory of R. Kenneth Fleagle and Martha Greinke. Dr. Fleagle, former Director of Community Development for the City, had died on December 6, 1988. Martha Greinke, mother of Frank Greinke, former Mayor of Tustin, had passed away on December 18, 1988. Mayor Kennedy also expressed her desire to adjourn in honor of Dr. Fleagle and recalled his contributions to the City. 6.
