OLD BUSINESS 1. TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 6380 - WILLIAMS STREET NORTH OF ALLIANCE(WILLIAMSHIRE) Mr. Fleagle presented background information and written report and explained the supplemental pro- posal as to carports, parking layout and design, and assignment with the five additional parking spaces as shown. Mr. Fleagle stated that all units City Council Minutes 12/17/73 Page 4 will have two parking spaces each with at least one covered and 22 of the units will have two covered spaces. The drive will be widened for guest parking to accommodate 14 cars. In answer to questioning by the Council, Mr. Fleagle stated that two units will be used for recreational purposes. [ : ~!~ .~i~ :~ -~.- In response to Councilman Langley's inquiry, Mr. Fleagle stated that by the conversion of units 27 through 32 to other than dwelling units, there would be no further concern related to the location of units and parking accommodations. The parking requirements for 98 units have been complied with. As to assessed valuation of ~partments versus con- dominiums, there is usually an increase in value when under separate ownership. Also, there is a tendency for owners to protect their investments and keep up a well maintained development such as this. As an example, Treehaven has the same character today as when it was apartments. As apartments, this project is one of the best in the City and is a beautiful, well maintained development. Mr. Morris Pynoos, developer of this project, stated that'-they could foresee no problems with the dis- tances between parking spaces and the units as now assigned. If forced to eliminate units 27 through 32, they would not go through with the project. Moved by Langley, seconded by Woodruff that Tentative Tract Map No; 6380 be approved with terms and condi- tions in Planning Commission Resolution No. 1381, exhibits submitted, and commitments made by the applicants. Carried. Ayes: Langley, Welsh, Woodruff, Sharp. Noes: Sattarelli. Absent: none. 2. CIVIC CENTER TELEPHONE SYSTEM (Continued from 12/3/73) Staff presented summary of Cost factors involved in telephone system for the Civic Center. MayorSaltarelli voiced concern that PBX would not be best for the Police Department. Mr. Gilt stated that five emergency lines would go directly to the Police Department. The remainder of administration calls and City Hall would be sepa- rate with capability of flipping over to administra- tion lines for more emergency lines. As to power failures, Mr. JohnBurton, consultant, stated that there would be'avery flexible system with total utilization of all trunks in a civil disaster. There would be power backup and all systems require bat%~ry~s~s~!!~s~st~m~for ~, eight hours. Mr, Gill stated that Civic Center will have emer- gency generator system which is built into the con- tract. The Council expressed concern as to maintenance and lack of information as to cost comparisons for all features of all systems including insurance, replacement costs, maintenance, etc. The Council stated their desires for a comparison matrix for all specifications of systems. City Council Minutes 12/17/73 Page 5 Mr. Burton stated that a matrix can be drawn and that proper maintenance can be obtained through a strict maintenance contract. Mr. Jim Haynes, Pacific Telephone Company, stated they would like more time to explain the economics of service versus buying. Councilman Woodruff stated his objection to centrex~is the need for more personalized system. Mr. Haynes stated that Jon Wingard~of the Telephone Company had recommended Centrex based on his experi- ence with other cities but had also presented the PBX system. Both systems were presented for economic comparison. Mr. Gill stated that he agreed that the City should have the personalized service of the PBX and that the Police Chief concurred. Mr. Gordon McClusky of the Pacific Telephone Company stated that Mr. WingaEd~ believed that centrex was the best for the City as he saw it. He did recog- nize some reservations but felt he should give the Council and staff the opportunityto look into it. One advantage is that with centrex there is indivi- dual billing for each department. This system gives an automatic accounting of all calls and gives better control. It was the unanimous consensus of the Council that the Civic Center system would be PBX. After further discussion as to the consideration of private company or Pacific Telephone and the need for more information as to the economics, this matter was continued to January 7, 1974, pending a matrix of all costsfaCtors andSfunction comparisons. All who wish to view telephone facilities other than those seen on the past tour were reminded to do so prior to that date. 3.
