dwelling occupied by more than one family in an R-1 zone.
Mayor Saltarelli requested that staff look into these suggestions.

BUSINESS 1. STREET LIGHTING ORGANIZATION AND POLICY
It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Saltarelli, to approve the
following:
1. Request County to do the following:
a. ConSolidate all street lighting district areas from the four street
lighting districts that are within the City of Tustin into the Tustin
Lighting District and transfer to other districts the area within the
Tustin Lighting District that is located outside the City of Tustin.
b. Consolidate the street lighting district areas outside the City but
within the City's sphere of influenceinto one district if possible.
c. Upon consolidation of the Tustin Lighting District as provided in "a"
above, notify City.
d~ Verify the following:
1) The City may, by resolution pursuant to Street and Highway Code
Section 19271, assume administration of the Tustin Lighting District
once it is solely located within the City.
2) The City's act of assuming the district will not dissolve the
district nor terminate the district receiving its entitlement to
property tax revenues.
3) The City will automatically receive the portion of funds allocated
to the Special District Augmentation Fund pursuant to AB 8 derived
from the tax rate areas within the district for street lighting
purposes. (The street lighting districts contribution to the
Special District Augmentation Fund.)
4) The Tustin Lighting District, and those areas annexed to it from
the numbered lighting districtS, will be exempt from the "appropri-
ations subject to limitation" provisions of Proposition 4, since it
had a 1977-78 tax rate below 12.5¢/$100 A.V. as provided in Section
9 (c) of the proposition.
e. Commit to protect the existing reserves of the Tustin Lighting District
from unnecessary use prior to the City's assumption of administration
by funding the district insofar as possible with the district's basic
property taxes and the district's contribution to the Special District
Augmentation Fund. This commitment is necessary, since the County is
not prepared to accommodate the transfer of administration to the City
for six-to-twelve months. (The City will be faced with enough problems
in funding the street lighting service without having to re-establish an
adequate level of reserves.)
f. Complete the updating of district maps with current boundaries and
lighting details such as type of standard and lamp, size of lamp, and
location; and complete the inventory of lights, revenue projections, and
appropriation requirements.
2. City to adopt its re~olution assuming administration of the district when
the County is ready for the transfer.
COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 4, 6/16/80
3. City to later form a city-wide district (within a yearlfrom the date of
transfer) under the Landscaping and Street Lighting Act of 1972 to assume
the functions of the present district. The 1972 Act provides the most
efficient method of levying an additional charge, when necessary, to
supplement the available property tax revenue of the district.
4. City to form zones within the 19~2 district as follows:
a. Zone 1 consisting of the existing Tustin Lighting District area where
the assessment need only cover the deficit of the property tax revenue.
b. Zone 2 consisting of newly lighted areas where no property tax for
lighting is received and where the assessment is needed to recover the
full cost of the service.
c. Zone 3 consisting of areas not served by lighting, where no assessment
is needed. As lighting is installedl an area will be transferred to
Zone 2 or another Zone as specified in Section "d" below.
d. Additional zones where residents may need construction or installation
of lighting zn existing developmenLs and where the assessment muse
cover both service costs and construction costs.
5. All new developments shall be required to install street lighting, to
deposit the estimated cost of service until annexation to a lighting
district is effective, to consen~ to annexation if necessary, and to
consent to the necessary assessments ~o sustain the service.
6. City to consider the placement of street lighting on existing poles pro-
vided there are no plans to remove the poles. This will avoid duplicate
poles on a street. Each such project must come before the Planning Agency
for a waiver, as provided in the City's undergrounding ordinance.
7. City Council consider providing Engineering with additional temporary help
in 9 months to a year ~o establish the s~reet lighting records in a sound
and accurate manner. This will save time in the long run and simplify
administration. This help may also need ~o work on a land parcel inventory
to be used in the event assessments are required.
8. Areas such as the Debusk Lane, Raleigh Place and Walter Avenue fwhich was
an island annexation of an unlighted neighborhood located in a lighting
district) not have lighting installed at City expense. Instead, the City
agree to pay a percentage of the installation if the residents will agree
to pay for the balance (either in cash or through assessments over a period
of ~ime, such as ten years, for a major expenditure per parcell.
Motion carried 3:0.

BUSINESS 1. REGULATION AND USE OF BARBED WiRE
Mike Brotemarkle, Community Development Director, informed Council
that the Community Development Department has had various requests
by citizens Eo use barbed wire, i.e., Eo prevent vandalism or to
enclose a hazardous area. He requested a determination by the
Council on whether it would be in the interest of public health,
safety and general welfare ~o regulate the use of barbed wire.
Councilman Edgar said-that he would approve a study on this, but
added that he is concerned about increased bureaucracy.
Mayor Saltarelli agreed that CDuncil should be careful about
unnecessary bureaucracy.
Council concurred that staff should do a study on the need for
regulating the use of barbed wire and submit it to Council for
recommended policy and/or approval.
2. BAILOUT FUNDS 1978-79
Mayor Saltarelli said that the matter of the State Controller's
claim that the City of Tustin should return $177,536.20 of the
Proposition 13 Bailout funds should be arbitrated in a court of law.
Dan Blankenship, City Administrator, said the court would probably
agree that the Controller is entitled to draw the money back.
Councilwoman Kennedy asked if the City would stand ~ chance of
winning.
COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 5, 6/16/80
City Attorney Rourke replied that, although he has not been
directly involved in this, it might be worth fighting for, since
a considerable amount of money is involved; and he will take a
look at it.
Mayor Saltarelli said it seems to be a penalty for good manage-
ment and he would prefer to fight it all the way.
Dan Blankenship said he would appreciate a motion to establish a
reserve in the amount of $177,536.20~ in the event that it must
be paid back.

of ~he name change all'the way, or at least to Red Hill Avenue,
for better identification from the freeway.
Walter Flaherty, 190 E1 Camino Real, spoke in favor of the name
change for easier identification, which will bring more business
to the downtown Tustin area, and, in turn, bring more tax revenue
to the city.
Frank Greinke, 230 South "A" Street, spoke in opposition to the
name change, saying that the signs on the freeway will Say Red Hill
Avenue, notE1 Camino Real, so there will be no actual freeway
identification of E1 Camino Real; and he is opposed to change just
for the sake of change.

name of Laguna Road to E1 Camino Real from the point of inter-
section with E1 Camino Real, and to end at Newport Avenue, which
would only be changing the street name on the curve. Councilwoman
Kennedy agreed and added that perhaps we could get a freeway sign
designating Old Town or Downtown Tustin.
Councilman Hoesterey amended the motion, seconded by Edgar, to
change the name of Laguna Road to E1 Camino Real from the point of

July 1, 1980 rent increase.
Mr. La Fare, Mr. Price, Ms. Barnett, Mr. Vaclavik, and several
other California Apartments residents have requested that Council
look into these problems and also consider initiating rent control.
Mayor Saltarelli said that, up to the present time, the Council has
taken the position that they will not get involved in rent control,
as it should be an open and competitive market. He informed them
that rent control can only beachieved in Tustin by the circulation
of a petition to qualif~ rent control as an initiative measure for
a special municipal election.
Attorney Rourke also suggested that the tenants look into the possi-
bility of entering into a lease with their landlord in order to
protect themselves from future rent increases.
Tenants were advised to call the Building Department with specifics
in regard to structure and water complaints~ which would be investi-
gated immediately by that department.
