n l mi i
Consent Calendar Item No. 13 - Resolution No. 88-98
Mayor Pro Tern Kennedy was concerned as to why there were so many changes
afterthe tentative map approval, the reasons for the changes, what were
the problems in modifying or eliminating interior lot lines, and would
thec~anges in the entertainment phase still reflect what the Council and
citizens had requested.
Christine Shingleton, Director of Community Development, responded that
the reason for the proposed amendment was to consolidate the number of
lots and additional lots were not being created. The original intent
was to have individual land leases on each tenancy. As the project
progressed, it became apparent that the project could he done without
long-term land leases on individual tenancies at a significantly reduced
construction cost. The changes do not effect the exterior appearance of
t~e project. There has al so been continual refinement of the
entertainment phase because of the "fast tracked" timing. To
accommodate individual tenants, the project had moved rapidly for a
project of its size, almost 800,000 sq. ft. of retail space. As the
project progresses, there will be modifications including design review
and col or selections.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 4, 9-6-88
Mayor Pro Tern Kennedy asked how staff time spent on these changes
was being recovered.
Christine Shingleton indicated there was a cost 'accounting fee
system for any modifications and fees were collected to cover staff
costs.
Mayor Hoesterey asked if the changes could result in a different
Entertainment Village than was originally proposed.
Christine Shingleton responded in the negative and said the new .lot
configurations closely reflect the proposed building pads. The,
changes-only eliminate interior lot lines and provide increased
flexibility in construction and design.
It was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Edl)ar, to adopt the following:
.-
RESOLUTION NO. 88-98 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE 'CITY
OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING AMENDMENTS TO VESTING TENTATIVE
TRACT NO. 13274, FOR THE TUSTIN MARKET PLACE
The motion carried 5-0.
VI. ORDINANCES FOR INTRODUCTION- None
VII. ORDINANCES FOR A~OPTION- None
VI I I. O~D BUSINESS
1. STATUS REPORT - JWA/C~AS/ASC
Christine Shingleton, Director of Community Development, reported
that the Orange Count..y Airport Department had begun their monitoring
,. program and staff had provided Council with a list of monitoring
locations. Staff is also evaluating M'r. Badham's Proposal and that,
along with the current report being prepared by the FAA, will be
available sometime in late December. The City will then have a
45-day review period to comment on the information.
After further discussion concerning the logistics of Mr. Badham's
proposal and locations of the noise monitoring locations, Mayor
Hoesterey suggested that a map be provided at the next meeting
indicating the monitoring location sites.
Councilman Kelly was not comfortable with the lack of action taken
by the Council over the last two years regarding the airport. He
wanted to pursue active litigation, as the City of Newport Beach had
done. He stated the City had spent thousands of dollars battling
the Bullet Train, but had taken no action against the airport's
intrusive and deteriorating effect on the community.
It was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Prescott, that the City
acquire Noise Monitoring equipment and place it at the City's
discretion,
Mayor Pro Tern Kennedy said she would be supportive of the motion at
a later date but at this time wanted to wait and review the study-
currently in progress.
Councilman Prescott stated he did not want to move forward without
the support of the data that would be provided in the study.
Councilman Edgar said if the City was to be effective in their
litigation, then appropriate data clearly showing noncompliance by
the airlines was needed.
Mayor Hoesterey, commenting on expenditures against the Bullet
Train, stated in that case there was a violation of state law
regarding the environmental impact studies. This was the legal
basis for filing the necessary documents in court and for
successfully prevailing in that case. Pursuing litigation against
the airport at this time was premature.

2. RESOLUTION NO. 88-97, AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF NOT TO EXCEED
$81,400,000 CITY OF TUSTIN ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 86-2 LIMITED
OBLIGATION IMPROVEMENT BONDS AND' OTHER RELATED MATTERS
Ronald Nault, Director of Finance, stated that Resolution No. 88-97
was the final process in the issuance of $81,400,000 worth of bonds
to build infrastructure capital improvements in Assessment District
No. 86- 2. ~
- Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy was concerned" for new res.idents who would be
burdened with the expense of these assessments. A substantial
amount of the $81,400,000 would be for the building of Jamboree
Road. Because Jamboree Road is not completely within the City, she
asked staff for an explantion.on the recovery of costs.
Robert Ledendecker, Director of Public Works, indicated that one of
the projects within Assessment District No. 86-2 was the Jamboree
Road project from Irvine Blvd. to Chapman Avenue in Orange. The
area built within the City of Tustin will be assessed to properties
within city limits. All of the assessments for Jamboree Road within
the City and County of Orange will be paid for by residents of those
areas.
Gary Dysart, of Willdan Associates, reaffirmed that the properties
in the County of Orange and the City of Orange will pay their share
of the costs for Jamboree Road. He further explained the procedure
of how the assessment costs are levied and paid.
William Huston, City Manager, clarified that agreements between the
City of Tustin and the City and County of Orange states that Tustin
will 'administer Assessment District No. 86-2 and City of Orange add
County residents will reimburse the DJ!strict for all costs. He also
commented that new.residents purchasing homes are fully aware of all
assessment charges.
Councilman Edgar said he found it distasteful that in expending
large sums of money for needed road improvements, flood control,
etc., the Council was making a commitment that few people in the
community or newspaper reporters understood. The Council is then
vulnerable to criticism for budget increases. Additionally,
he felt it unfair that many who would use Jamboree Road would not
contribute financially to its creation or maintenance.
Steve Coma, of Merrill Lynch, responded to Mayor Pro Tern Kennedy's
questions regarding interest rates.
It was moved by EdgarI, seconded by Prescott, to adopt the following-
RESOLUTION NO. 88-97 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF NOT TO EXCEED
$81,400,000 AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF CITY OF TUSTIN ASSESSMENT

6. APPOINTMENT 0~. PLAJ~NING come,MISSIONER
Mayor Hoesterey stated that the Council had conducted interviews for
the Planning Commission vacancy at 5:00 p.m.-that day and the
candidates under consideration were Dennis E. Pedersen, Edmund F.
Shaheen, Edward M. Tansey, Sr. and H. Porter Wynn. The Mayor
then instructed the Council on the procedure to be used for
bal 1 oti ng.
Mayor Pro Tern Kennedy suggested that the appointment of the
Commissioner be continued for one month so additional candidates can
apply. She felt the advertisement period had not been long enough
and additional time was needed for this important position.
It was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Prescott to continue this
appointment for one month.
Councilman Prescott was convinced that the word had been distributed
and four very qualified applicants had applied.
..
Councilman Edgar felt leaving the vacahcy open another month did not
serve any purpose. ~
Mayor Hoesterey noted that traditionally after an election the
Council had renominated the Commissioners. Therefore, this
individual would only serve for a period of approximately 3 months.
He wanted to proceed with the understanding that the entire Planning
Commission would be reviewed for service sometime in December.
The motion failed t-4, Hoesterey, Edgar, Kelly and Prescott opposed.
The Council then voted and the results were tabulated by the City
Clerk. The results of the tabulation were as follows-
Hoesterey: Shaheen
Kennedy: Pedersen
Edgar: Shaheen
Kel 1 y: Shaheen
Prescott: Shaheen
Mr. Edmund Shaheen (4 votes) was appointed as the Planning
Commi ss i oner.
Council concurred to send a letter from the Mayor to all
unsuccessful candidates noting their qualifications and thanking
them for their participation.
IX. NEW BUSINESS

Saltarelli had been addressed in this item. With an affirmation

the following staff' recommendation..s-
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES

1792'Andhews, i801 Andrews, i8'02 Andrews, 13622.Falmout)~ and 13732
Falmouth as recommended by the Public Works Department/Field
Services DivisiOq.
Mayor Hoesterey was concerned with Carrotwood trees being replaced
with other Carrotwood trees. He did not feel it was advisable
because of root damage and berry droppings and thought that Magnolia
trees would be easier to maintain. He suggested that items
concerning replacement with Carrotwood trees be deferred until the
next agenda.
Councilman Edgar amended his imotio.~.' to include the deferment of
Carrotwood tree replacements.
Robert Ledendecker, Director of Public Works, said it had been
determined several months ago that Carrotwood tree replacements in
the Peppertree area would be Magnolia trees. There was one location
i n the current report that had a speci fi c recommendat i on
for replacement with a Carrol~wood tree. All other locations could
be replaced with a Magnolia tree, but staff would check with the
property owner to verify if there was a desire to have another
CarrOtwood tree. Staff will then return with a report on the one
location.
Councilman Edgar' s second amendment to the mot..ion included replace-
ment of Carrotwood trees with Magnolia trees.
The motion carried 5-0.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES

5. TEN PERCENT REDUCTION OF WATER SURCHARGE FEE
Mayor Pro Tern Kennedy asked if there was a policy prohibiting the
addition of agenda items after noon on the Wednesday prior to a
Council meeting.
William Huston, City Manager, responded that internal staff reports
were due by that time but requests by Councilmembers were honored at
anytime. He did not believe there was a policy regarding
timelines for requests by Councilmembers.
Councilman Prescott reported that when the City purchased the Tustin
Water Works the rates-were no longer subject to the scrutiny of the
Public Utilities Commission. He wanted to argue a case for the
"rate payer". He thought the fixed charge, should be reduced so the
revenue to the Water Works was sufficient only to meet the cash flo~
requirement. The revenue is now excessive of that requirement and
the City is prepaying their bonds. This was advantageous to the
health of the Water Works; but, as a quasi Public Utility
Commission, the City should have considerations other than the
financial health of the Water Works. The City should also consider
the burden put on rate payers.
It was moved by Prescott, seconded by Kennedy, to immediately reduce
the Water Works i~i'xed charge by 10% percent and study further
red ucti OhS.
Councilman Edgar felt that some of Councilman Prescott's comments
were not precise. When the Water Works was originally purchased,
his rational for approval was the existence of an antiquated water
system and the need for reno~.ation. In the antiquated system there
were miles of 2" and 3" pipe. If there had been a serious fire,
there could have been a tragedy because the pipes could not
accommodate the wate'P flow. The Water Works rate had not been
increased in approximately 4 years~,. There hasI. been a meeting
scheduled in November, after the election, to reanalyze the rates.
There had also been a significant debt, incurred when the water
company borrowed money to pay creditors, that had now been
considerably reduced. He was unwilling to reduce-the fixed charge
without a careful review of cash flow projections for the next 2-3
years.
Mayor Hoesterey said that to reduce the reserves at this time could
jeopardize the maturity of the 1990 bonds. Additionally, the
general fund had loaned the Water Works almost $500,000, which has
to be repaid. When the rates were established, it was with the
understanding that when the cash flow allowed the City would reduce
the fees. By prepaying the bonds, the City has saved the rate payers
an estimated $400,000 in accumulated interest. The water rates have
not been increased for approximately three years and the City has
been able to continue the capital improvement program, maintain the
water rates, and reduce the acquired debt. The City should not be
in a position of being unable to meet the required obligations in
1990.
Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy stated that when the Council was in a budget
session, it had agreed that a meeting would be held in the fall to
review the condition of the Water Works. She realized the pressures
of election time, but thought that plan should be followed.
Councilmembers are elected officials and want to reduce fees
whenever possible; and did it once, less than three years ago. The
Council is interested in the motion, but at this time, without
making sure the general fund does not suffer or having to borrow
money, she did not want to reduce the fees. Staff will prepare
carefully for the workshop and Council will review the matter in the
calm climate of non-election time.
Councilman Kelly commented that everytime there was a suggestion of
a rate reduction, it was always termed as being politically
motivated and campaigning. He took great offense to it and
requested the Mayor refrain from doing so.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 9, 9-6-88
The motion failed 2-3, Hoesterey, Kennedy and Edgar opposed.
It was moved by Kennedy, seconded .by Edgar, to agendize this matter
for the meeting already scheduled in the fall, where the item can be
discussed in a non-election environment.
As .a substitute motion, Councilman Prescott requested that the City
have it its service a paid public advocate, a person trained in
arguing rate cases for rate payers.
Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy said she.could not support that addition to
the motion because she believed each Councilmember was a paid public
advocate.
Councilman Edgar's interpretation was there would be a clearly-
defined timeline for the accumulation of funds and the repayment of
debt. The fall meeting will include the debt surcharge and an
understanding of the rates.
The motion carried 5-0.
