LION BRUCE MOREHEAD Mayor Hoesterey read and presented the proclamation to Bruce Morehead congratulating him on his election as District Governor of Lions International District 4L4 for 1988-89. Mr. Morehead extended his appreciation of the honor to the Council and thanked his family and fellow Lions for making this achievement possible. 84 2. PORTER WYNN, MINISTER OF TUSTIN FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH Mayor Hoesterey then announced a proclamation that was not on the agenda for Porter Wynn, who was retiring as Minister of the First Christian Church of Tustin after thirteen years. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 2, 8-1-88 After Mayor Hoesterey read and presented the proclamation, Mr. Wynn stated that he and his wife Mary, the City Clerk, had visited their former homes occupied during his 40 years of ministering, but Tustin will be their permanent home because "there's no place like Tustin 84 V. PUBLIC HEARINGS 1. 1988-89 SOLID WASTE COLLECTION FEES TAX ROLL ASSESSMENT Ronald Nault, Director of Finance, reported that Resolution No. 88-86 adopted the report which identified each parcel in the City by the number of units and the proposed assessment for solid waste collection during 1988-89. Under normal conditions, rates would have increased in accordance with existing agreements based on factors that relate to the cost of trash collection. Additionally, on January 1, the County landfill fees will increase from $6.00 per ton to $9.50 per ton with another increase to over $11.00 per ton on July 1, 1989. The proposed increased rates for single residential units up to 3 units would be $72.72 per year and the new rate of $77.28 per unit was for commercial can rate. The $72.72 rate represented a 10.58% increase, the majority of which was gate fees. Public notices were sent to all parcels affected by these new rates. Councilman Kelly questioned the legality of increasing taxes over 2% per year. Ronald Nault explained that these were not taxes, but assessments to recover the direct cost of trash collection. Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy asked for a definition of "commercial can". Ronald Nault responded that a commercial can is used in areas unable to have a bin at their location due to lack of space. An effort is being made to enforce the bin requirement as much as possible, but commercial cans are used when space will not accommodate a bin. Councilman Prescott asked (1) if the residents now beginning to pay a commercial can charge had in the past received an assessment notice, (2) were there some commercial can users now being assessed who had not paid a charge in the past (3) have these residents received written notice of assessment and (4) how many total parcels in Tustin were assessed. Ronald Nault responded (1) that public notices were published for two weeks, direct notices had been sent to all parcel numbers considered commercial can users and no notice had been given in prior years, (2) that there may have been some areas previously missed and not charged because commercial cans had been included as a cost of the City, (3) that the City had sent 600 notices of assessment and (4) that the total assessment was on approximately 6,000 parcels. Mayor Hoesterey opened the Public Hearing at 7:17 p.m. Onnalee Elliot was concerned because she felt residents were already paying double for garbage collection on the tax bill and now the City was adding it again with an increase. Mayor Hoesterey responded that it was a one -line item assessment on the property tax bill and was an inexpensive way of collecting fees rather than mailing individual monthly bills. There were no other speakers on the matter and the Public Hearing was closed at 7:20 p.m. Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy commented that she had previously wanted the City to continue paying for trash collection out of the general fund but learned that the City was only paying for the residential and apartments and commercial/professional users were paying for their own. It was decided, with difficulty, to charge everyone and now CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 3, 8-1-88 the fee was being raised to cover a gate fee and a slight increase in cost. Councilman Kelly said this had been one of the controversial issues he had first encountered as a Councilmember. He had viewed it as "slick bookkeeping" and believed it began at a seminar held by the League of Cities where it was suggested to eliminate the fee from the General Fund and return it to the residents as a $350,000 tax .. increase. He wanted each resident to pay the hauler and eliminate City involvement. Mayor Hoesterey commented that the City rates are over 15% lower than the surrounding unincorporated areas for trash service and $6.00 per month for trash removal was not an exorbitant rate. The County had increased their fees to assist in the cost of the new landfills. On the history of this issue, there had been a small segment of the community receiving free trash service. The inequity was brought to the Council's attention and corrected. The City of Irvine and the County areas pay $82.00 and Tustin provides the same service for $72.00. It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, to adopt the following: RESOLUTION NO. 88-86 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTED PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5473 ET SEQ. OF THE HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, FINALLY APPROVING AND ADOPTING A REPORT RELATIVE TO PARCELS OF REAL PROPERTY RECEIVING SOLID WASTE COLLECTION SERVICES, DETERMINING THE CHARGES FOR SOLID WASTE COLLECTION TO BE ASSESSED AGAINST THE RESPECTIVE LOTS OR PARCELS OF LAND AS THEY APPEAR ON THE CURRENT ASSESSMENT ROLL Councilman Edgar wanted it noted that Tustin was the last City in Orange County to charge a trash collection fee. Councilman Prescott stated his figures indicate a $19 million operating budget excluding capital improvements such as streets, storm drains, etc. The City spends approximately $9.00 per day on each house and it would take only eight days to pay the $72.00 annual assessment for trash collection. He believed it was a tax increase to the property owners four years ago. The City should spend money on City services; not on building different bureau- cracies in the City. The primary function as a City was to provide police, fire and various health and safety related issues. He was supportive of the City paying the trash fees and taking 8 days out of 365 to do it would be inexpensive. Government has found it too easy to create political patronage bureaucracies to insure reelection instead of providing benefits for everyone. A paid trash collection fee would be a form of tax rebate and would benefit everyone. Mayor Hoesterey said that there is action being taken to insure reelections and he would be thankful when November was over. Then the Council could discuss the issues of the City instead of giving campaign speeches on every matter brought before the Council. The motion carried 3-2. Kelly and Prescott opposed. 102 VI. PUBLIC INPUT 1. PAYMENT OF TRIPLE PENALTY AGAINST THE SAX OF TUSTIN STORE Claire McNair, 650 E1 Camino Real, Tustin, explained to the Council that last month she moved from a smaller store in the El Camino Plaza to a larger one and hired contractors to complete minor improvements. When flooding occurred during the installation of new toilets, a neighboring store contacted City Hall and an inspector was sent to investigate. From the inspector she learned, for the first time, that permits were required. The completion of the improvements and required permits resulted in payment of a triple penalty. In conversations with some Councilmembers, she was CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 4, 8-1-88 advised to appear before the Council and voice her concern regarding the triple penalty. She did not intentionally fail to obtain the required permits. Due to her lack of knowledge of the requirements, she had opened three other stores without obtaining permits. She stated that Council and staff had been very supportive and helpful in trying to resolve the problem. Christine Shingleton, Director of Community Development, responded to the question of the triple penalty and stated that the current fee schedule requires the charging of a double fee when work occurs without the benefit of a building permit. Councilman Prescott stated that Mrs. McNair would not do anything that was intentionally malicious. Penalties should be reserved for criminals, not for community residents that make an honest mistake. Mayor Hoesterey requested that this matter be agendized for discussion and possible action on August 15, 1988. Council concurred. 2. UNSAFE BICYCLE LANES Helen Edgar, 13622 Loretta Dr., Tustin, reported on the unsafe condition that results when automobiles are parked in, bike lanes. She felt that the bike lanes should be marked accordingly and parking prohibited. Mayor Hoesterey requested staff to investigate the situation. 3. INTERSECTION OF CARROLL WAY/YORBA STREET AND SEVENTEENTH STREET Mrs. Edgar also reported the problem of cars turning left against red lights at the intersection of Carroll Way/Yorba Street and Seventeenth Street. She suggested the installation of left turn arrows or a sign prohibiting left turns. Mayor Hoesterey requested staff to review the possibility of reconstruction on Seventeenth Street between Prospect and Yorba to alleviate the traffic congestion. VII.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 6, 8-1-88 VIII. ORDINANCES FOR INTRODUCTION 1. MINUTES AND RECORDINGS OF CLOSED SESSION Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy requested a few minutes to read the amendment revising the Ordinance that had been received from the City Attorney. It was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Prescott, that Ordinance No. 1011 have first reading by title only. The motion carried 5-0. Following first reading .by title only of Ordinance No. 1011 by the City Clerk, it was moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, that Ordinance No. 1011 be intro— d� as�oT�ows. ORDINANCE NO. 1011 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE TUSTIN CITY CODE RELATIVE TO MINUTES OF CLOSED SESSIONS OF THE CITY COUNCIL Mayor Hoesterey asked what process would be used to control the use of the tapes, the sealing of the tapes, who would maintain possession and how would the tapes be safeguarded. James Rourke, City Attorney, stated that the Ordinance gives the responsibility of controlling and safeguarding the tapes to the City Attorney. Mayor Hoesterey verified with the City Attorney that the Ordinance states the tapes would only be unsealed in two events: (1) when requested by the City Council and to be reviewed in a Closed Session with a quorum of Councilmembers present or (2) upon Court request to determine if a Brown Act violation had occurred. The Mayor had doubts regarding the Ordinance because of the potential future abuse through legal manipulation allowing information on personnel matters and property discussions made available to unauthorized sources versus having a record that would defend Councilmembers in a Closed Session against allegations of impropriety and misuse of power. He would support the Ordinance because it would protect future Councils from allegations, but he was still hesitant that, without very tight control, the tapes could be a source of leaks to the media. James Rourke stated that as an attorney he has possession of documents and information that requires him, by law, to maintain confidentiality. The motion carried 5-0. IX.

(Roll call vote) 81 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 7, 8-1-88 AGENDA ORDER XI. NEW BUSINESS 1. TUSTIN AREA SENIOR CENTER OPERATING PLAN Councilman Prescott requested this item be considered out of agenda order to accommodate members of the audience. Royleen White, Director of Administrative/Community Services, stated it was a pleasure for staff and the Senior Center Steering Committee - to present the operating plan for the new Tustin Senior Center. The staff recommendation included the appointment of the Senior Advisory Board. She introduced four of the members of the. Senior Center Advisory Board who were present: Lloyd Ebel, Ken Hoesterey, Ruby May and Margarete Thompson. The Board also included Janet Schwartz, who could not be present. The Steering Committee recommended four of the members because they were the most senior members of the committee and wanted to honor them for their service. Those four then recommended Mr. Ebel to honor his contributions. It was moved b Ed ar, seconded b Kennedy, to (1) approve in concept the Senior Center Operating Plan, 2) appoint the inaugural members of the Senior Center Advisory Board, (3) adopt as policy that seniors be actively involved in the operation of the center and (4) adopt as policy that the philosophy of the Center is to provide programs for seniors at little or no cost.

STATUS REPORT - JOHN WAYNE AIRPORT (JWA/CRAS/ASC) It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Hoesterey, to receive and file subject report. The motion carried 5-0. 101 2. PROPOSED SAN JUAN STREET VACATION It was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Kelly, to direct staff to commence the street vacation proceedings through the Public Hearing phase with final action delayed until after the joint City -District meeting. Councilman Edgar had a concern that delay in Council action would be a major impediment to Caltrans. Robert Ledendecker, Director of Public Works, responded that it would not. The motion carried 5-0. 105 3. CITY CLERK PRINTING AND MAILING SAMPLE BALLOTS AND CANDIDATES' STATEMENTS "" Councilman Edgar, in response to Councilman Prescott's question regarding the exact cost, stated that each candidate will submit a $350.00 deposit to cover the cost of printing and mailing the candidates' statements to Tustin residents. If the actual cost is less or exceeds $350.00, the candidates will receive orPaY the balance. Mayor Hoesterey stated the question before Council, since the cost to the City was not a factor, was whether to consolidate the candidates' statements in the County's sample ballot or to print them separately at the local level. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 8, 8-1-88 Councilman Kelly preferred this be completely handled by the County since the City Clerk was also a participant in the upcoming election and officiating over this matter would be a conflict. He was also surprised at how quickly this Resolution was prepared for the November election when there was so much difficulty in preparing an ordinance for campaign reform in time for the November election. Councilman Prescott questioned the cost and the coverage of that cost by the candidates. It was moved by Hoesterey, seconded by Edgar, to adopt the following: RESOLUTION NO. 88-90 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING REGULATIONS FOR CANDIDATES FOR ELECTIVE OFFICE PERTAINING TO CANDIDATES' STATEMENTS SUBMITTED TO THE VOTERS AT AN ELECTION Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy thought that the whole point of the issue was whether Tustin wanted their election material to be in a separate brochure and there was no difference in the cost of a separate mailing or inclusion with the County. The motion carried 3-2, Kelly and Prescott opposed. 48 4. STREET NAMING COMMITTEE Mayor Hoesterey's nomination was Gwen Ferguson. Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy wanted to know, now that all five members were appointed, the process for beginning the necessary action. Christine Shingleton, Director of Community Development, stated that letters would be sent to committee members to establish a meeting date. A prioritized list of names would then be prepared for forwarding to builders to incorporate in their street naming lists. Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy requested progress reports from the committee.96 XI. NEW BUSINESS 1. TUSTIN AREA SENIOR CENTER OPERATING PLAN Please see page 7 of these minutes. 2. FINANCE COMMITTEE Councilman Prescott requested this item be continued until after the November election and at that time have Council discussion on creating a budget committee to reduce expenses at City Hall. 50 3. EXPOSED NEON TUBING SIGN REQUEST AT 174 EAST MAIN STREET Christine Shingleton, Director of Community Development, reported that the Planning Commission had denied the request of Daddy -0's Restaurant to use exposed neon tubing. The reasons for denial were inconsistency with the surrounding area since the Planning Commission had not approved exterior mounted exposed neon signs in the Old Town Area and this would set a precedent; provisions in the El Camino Specific Plan required signs to be uniform; and the Commission felt the existing sign had a cleaner look than neon and would not be as obtrusive as exposed neon. She also gave a slide presentation for the Council to view the sign in question. Paul Martino, Daddy -0's Restaurant at 174 E. Main Street, Tustin, stated he had originally applied in March, 1988, for an internally illuminated awning. After 9 weeks, that request was denied but canned lettering on an immediate permit basis was approved. The restaurant did not want that signage because it did not fit their 1950's style. Because they were open for business without a sign, CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 9, 8-1-88 they agreed to the canned lighting with plans to appeal to the City Council for approval of the neon sign. He sited several establishments in the area that had neon signs. He felt the contemporary canned lettering was not conducive to a 1950's image. Mayor Hoesterey noticed that the area's history had included extensive neon and, in fact, the Jabborwocky Building, at one time, had been the neon tube factory for the City. He felt that with the revitalization of the downtown area and in trying to capture the values of local businesses he wanted to reverse the action of the Planning Commission and allow the sign. Ruby May, 1602 Nisson Rd. #Q7, Tustin, stated she had not previously spoken before the Council, but this matter had upset her. She admired Mr. Martino's fortitude and aggressiveness and was very much in favor of the sign. It was moved by Hoe sterey, seconded by Prescott, to reverse the Planning Commission s decision and approve the neon , tubing sign. As an addition to the motion, Councilman Prescott requested that Mr. Martino, whose good taste he trusted, be able to resubmit for review his first choice which was the internally illuminated awning. Christine Shingleton clarified that the issue regarding the awning would be returned to the Council for final action. The motion carried 5-0. 93 XII. REPORTS 1. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION AGENDA - JULY 25, 1988 It was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Edgar, to ratify the Planning Commission Action -Agenda of July 25, 1988. The motion carried 5-0.80 2. PUBLIC CONCERN OF COLUMBUS-TUSTIN PARK SITE It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Hoestere , to receive and file subject report. The motion carried 5-0. 77 XIII. OTHER BUSINESS 1. EXCEEDING THE SPEED LIMIT ON SECOND STREET Speaking for Former Mayor Art Charlton, Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy requested the Police Department monitor Second Street between the hours of 4:00 - 5:30 p.m. because of excessive speeding in the area. 2. TRASH COLLECTION CANS FOR 7-11 STORE Also at Mr. Charlton's request, Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy requested that a polite letter be sent to 7-11 asking that trash containers for their customers be provided to reduce littering. 3. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT LIST Councilman Edgar commended Robert Ledendecker, Director of Public Works, for the capital improvement update that included all five years and gave a graphic position of projects. 4. UPDATING CITY POPULATION SIGNS Councilman Edgar requested that the City's population signs be updated to reflect the current population. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 10, 8-1-88 5. SPEED BUMPS ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS Councilman Edgar stated that one Orange County area had instituted the use of speed bumps on some residential streets. He felt that because some motorists do speed and jeopardize the community, he asked that the Police Department submit specific measures, such as speed bumps, to prevent the misuse of residential streets. Mayor Hoesterey related his unfavorable experience with speed bumps. 6. MINUTES TO REFLECT EVERYONE ADDRESSING THE COUNCIL Council concurred that minutes will reflect everyone who formally addresses the Council during a meeting. 7. COMMENDATION FOR POLICE DEPARTMENT Councilman Prescott commended the Police Department for their recent work involving bank robbery and action on First Street. 8. ADDITIONAL PARKING ON FIRST STREET Mayor Hoesterey requested that the City Engineer review the extent of red curbs on First Street west of Centennial. Since the corner had been developed, many business owners had requested additional parking. 9. DISCOUNT ON GOLF COURSE FEES FOR CITY RESIDENTS Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy requested staff to remind the Irvine Company of the Council's desire to provide a city resident discount for the Tustin Ranch Golf Course. XIV. ADJOURNMENT At 8:44 p.m., the meeting recessed to the Redevelopment Agency, then adjourned to interviews of the Parks and Recreation Commission applicants on August 2, 1988, at 7:00 p.m., and then to the next Regular Meeting on August 15, 1988. dill �� �%, I,✓ ��► a-� F Ct) E Y C RK
