into three separate contracts: one segment was from Fourth

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

and O.C.T.D. would be awarding the third segment for the
interchange of I-5/SR22/SR57- in approximately one month.

It was moved by Hoesterey, 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 aggression in attempting to upgrade the
investments of the City and protect the coffers.

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.

motion, to include the investigation of possibile retribution to
the .City for design failures from the previous project.

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 fgr 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.

Service, 511 E. First Street, Tustin; and Asa Herren, Vice

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 1'13
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.
AGENDA ORDER
NEW BUSINESS
6. BIOMEDICAL ANIMALRESEARCHLABORATORIES, 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 Edqar, 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.
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.
