Page 2, 2-16-88
Council that you award the contract and appropriate the money.
Before you do, we have a representative, Janet Schwartz, fr~n the

Janet Schwartz, spokesperson for the Steering Committee for a
Senior Center, 10292 Overhil 1 Drive, Tusti n Foothill area,
expressed deep appreciation and heartfelt thanks for the action
taken tonight in awarding of the contract for the long awaited
Tustin Area Senior Center. She said that this is truly a red let-
ter day for seniors and an important milestone in the development
of the community of Tustin. In August, 1983, a small informal com-
mittee of senior citizens of~ diverse backgrounds and divergent
views, was formed to study the needs for the feasibility of and the
steps to develop a senior center in Tustin. Our present Mayor
Ronald Hoesterey, and Mayor Pro Tern Ursula Kennedy were Mayor and
Mayor Pro Tem at that time also. The committee felt most fortunate
to have the advise, council, leadership and'~'~pport of these two
counilmembers. They were with us regularly and we were indeed
grateful to them for their guidance and support. We wish to thank
also all other members of the City Council. who have consistently
supported all proposals and requests from us by unanimous 5-0
votes. In August, 1983, when our committee was first formed, the
prospects for a Tustin Senior Center appeared to be a dream.
Tonight that dream~has turned into reality. We look forward to
ground breaking ceremonies soon. We also understand that every
effort will be made to complete construction without delay. There
is much planning and work to be done by staff and the seniors
before opening, Many will be asked to assist in setting up the
necessary organizations, governing bodies, procedures, programs,
scheduling, and so forth. We know that we can count on the seniors
to volunteer with enthusiasm. She asked the members of the origi-
nal steering committee, including Mayor Hoesterey; and Mayor Pro
Tem Kennedy, and everyone who supports the efforts to make this
dream a reality to please stand up. A rousing applause followed.
It was moved by Kennedy, seconded b~v .Kellj/, that the City Council:

Center to Construction Architects, Inc., Costa Mesa, in the

COuncilman Edgar requested that action on the Minutes be delayed to the
March 7th meeting as every other page was missing from the Council
packet. Council concurred. ]'i
Consent Calendar Item No. 6 - Water Service Rate Analysis - Councilman
Edgar said he was supportive of the item but as he read the agenda, he
noticed that the money is allocated in the 1988-89 budget and he looked
in the budget and found that the money is appropriated in the 1987-88
budget. He also found that only three of the four listed projects were
identified and the sum of the cost of the three was the same as for four
projects.
The Director of Public Works explained that after reviewing the final
plans, the budget document reveals Lockwood Park Place and Orangewood as
two streets within the budget and we have found that the records
indicate, and we have field checked some items, that the line within
Orangewood did not needreplacement but the line on Prospect does, so we
interswitched the two so wereally have the same amount of projects but
we have i nterswitched two streets.

correcting it to note that it is in the Fiscal Year 1987-88 budget.

1. ORDINANCE NO. 1002 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA,
AMENDING THE FRANCHISE FOR A CABLE TELEVISION SYSTEM GRANTED TO
CONTINENTAL CABLEVISION, INC., A CORPORATION
Assistant City Attorney Alan Watts explained that he had been working
with Monda Buckl. ey, Public Works Department, on the matter of amending
the current Cable Franchise Ordinance. In a letter to staff, American
Cablesyst~ms indicated that they were in the process of merging their
entire operations with Continental Cablesystems. Pursuant to the terms
of the City's existing ordinance, that action requires approval by this
City Council which may be done by resolution. However, in looking at
the existing ordinance, there was a desire by staff to tighten up
certain areas to be more specific in responding to complaints by
subscribers, specifying office hours, and how the Cable Company will
respond to those complaints. He recommended introduction of Ordinance
No. 1002 which amends the cable ordinance and approval of Resolution
No. 88-13, the merger of American Cablesystems of Ca. with Continental
Cablesystems which would create a subsidiary being owned by Continental
Cablesystems and that action they are proposing is to close by the 29th
of February. These negotiations were completed late Friday afternoon.

The Director of Public Works said that since preparation of the report,
he had received additional information which will change the scope of
the district and he requested that this item be continued to March 7.
Councilman Edgar indicated his intention to be consistent in voting for
the three new services as for services 7 years ago on E1 Camino.
The City Manager responded that we have to look at that issue and we
would not be prepared to recommend one way or the other.
Councilman Edgar asked what is the schedule for getting rid of the poles
in the vicinity of Irvine and Newport Ave.
The Director of Public Works responded that' once the Edison and
Telephone facilities have been removed, the only facilities remaining
would be cablevision services. The cablevision company has removed some
of the poles but not all of them. He will have to identify which poles
are the responsibility of which utility company.
Edgar said he would appreciate a report. He al so asked about
Underground District No. 9, which we approved some months ago, that had
contained in the language that we would start in January and end in May
and he hadn't seen any action.

ing locations are and he would like to see the location on Harp
Court moved down by School Service Road and Sycamore.

basically just a progress report provided by Mr. Van Houten. It is
indicated in the report that additional monitoring is likely to be
conducted if sample information is not deemed to be valid. His
information is just base level information thavc will be supple-
mented by the additional monitoring locations that will be provided
by the airport and their program.

TUSTIN, IRVINE, AND ORANGE ACTIONS ON I~-'MORANDUM OF .UNDERSTANBING -
EASTERN/FOOTHILL ll~ANSPORTATION CORRIDOR
Councilman Edgar noted that the Council had a special meeting to
approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and made a slight
verbage modification. Similar modifications have been made by both
the City of Irvine and the City of Orange. The only changes made
were in paragraph 34 which relates to the desires of some of the
homeowner's groups as to what the alignment and the design could
achieve. We are establishing a preferred alignment for the Eastern
Corridor which could help avoid some of the serious bottleneck
problems. He requested authority to write a letter to the
interested people in the Foothill Bottleneck Study area so they can
understand why this Eastern Corridor Alignment is going to be more
beneficial to them. He has composed a draft of the letter but
would defer to staff and the attorney to be sure it is worded
correctly.
Mayor Hoesterey was against having another mass mailing to the north
regarding this issue. There has been a lot of discussion on this
and he felt the expense of another mass mailing would not serve a
purpose outside of our City limits. The JPA is going to make the
final decision and they should send out the information.
Councilman Prescott and Councilman Kelly were in favor of informing
the public about this.
Councilwoman Kennedy said we are a City with boundaries and we are
responsible to our citizens. She agreed that this information
should be dispensed to the public when the decision has been made
by the JPA. She would be in favor of informing the people by a
letter from the JPA or from the cities of Tustin, Orange, and Irvine
but she was concerned about the citizens of Tustin paying for
mailing to residents in other jurisdictions. She also suggested
that a letter to the Editor of the Tustin. News might be helpful in
informing the people.
Councilman Edgar suggested that a letter be composed primarily to
our own residents that clearly shows the benefit of the alignment
that will prevent some of the problems.
Councilman Prescott suggested that this letter be inserted in the
Tustin Today flyer that goes out quarterly.
It was moved by Prescott, seconded by_Edgar_, that such a letter from
the Tustin City Council be drafted and reviewed by staff and 'the
attorney and be distributed in the Tustin Today brochure if
possible. Motion carried 5-0.

4. CITY CLERK COMPENSATION - RESOLUTION NO. 88-15
Councilman Prescott noted that there, are six elected 'officials in
the City of Tustin, and only five of them can vote. The last time
that the City Clerk's salary was increased was on February 27th,
1956. The Council should be consistent and consider an increase in
the salary of the elected City Clerk. He had inquired and found out
that there are three cities in Orange County with elected part time
City Clerks such as Tustin. They are Orange, San Clemente and Seal
Beach. The salary is $365 a month in Orange, $375 a month in San
Clemente, and $300 a month in Seal Beach.
Councilwoman Kennedy said that we have a little different situation
in Tustin which she felt needed to be brought up. She believed that
when Ruth Poe became the City Clerk, the City created a position as
a Department Head withih the City staff so that our City Clerk is
also a full time employee of the City-as Chief Deputy City Clerk
with a fair salary and the work she does as an elected official is
to monitor the minutes and the elections. Councilman Prescott
suggested that the City Clerk position is the same as in Orange, San
Clemente and Seal Beach, where part time City Clerks are also full
ti me department heads.
It was moved by Kennedy to raise the salary to $175 a month.
A substitute motion was made by E.d. gar, seconded by Kelly, to raise
the'l'sal~ry of the City Cllerk to $'2'0/) a month".~ Motion ca'~ried 5-0.
XI. REPORTS
PLANNING CO~4ISSION ACTION AGENDA - FEBRUARY 8, 1988
All actions of the Planning Commission become final unless appealed
by the City Council or member of the public.
Regarding Item No. 3 relating to the Vineyard Christian Fellow. ship,
Councilman Edgar asked if the unanimous approval "as revised"
included some reasonable standards for parking and traffic
circulation.
The Community Development Director pointed out that this is a Zoning
Ordinance Amendment that would just permit that use in that district
subject to a Conditional Use Permit. The applicant would have to
apply for a Conditional Use Permit before the Planning Commission at
which time the actual standards would be set depending upon the
particular circumstances of the use. Also the Zoning Ordinance
Amendment would come before the Council on March 7th.
It was m.o..ved by Edgar, seconded by .Kelly, to ratify the Planning
Commission actions. Carried 5-0.
