CAL~ TO O~DER The meeting was called to order by Mayor Pro Te~ Hoesterey at 7:31 p.m. council~ersons Present= Counoilpersons Absent= Others Present: Edgar, Hoesterey, Kennedy, Saltarelli Sharp William A. Huston, City Manager Mary E. Wy~n, City Clerk Mike Brot~arkle, Com. Dev. Director Ro Kenneth Fleagle, Plan~ing Consultant Bob Ledendecker, Director of Public Works Ronald Nault, Finance Director Dale Wick, Assistant City Engineer Ed Knight, Associate Planner Alan Warren, Senior Planner Approximately 15 in the audience DO~TO~ L~D~C~PE ~ND ~TREET I~~T ~ ~he staff re~ort was given by Bob Ledendecker, City Engineer. A large wall sketch was shown which modified the loss of ~arking from 61 to 28 spaces. Angle ~arking was addressed but we would only be able ~o load one side of the street with angle parking. He felt it was necessary to have two lanes of traffic in both directions for future increased traffic. Councilwoman Kennedy asked for a five minute recess in order for the Council and the public to look closer at the sketch. The Mayor Pro Tem declared a five minute recess at 7:40 p.m. and reconvened at 7=45 p.m. Walter Flaherty suggested that all parking on E1 Camino and the side streets should be restricted to two hours so that workers and ~rucks do not monopolize the parking. Doug Gfeller said that his concern was no~ so much the design of the plan but the implementation of it. The City would be making a com- mittment to spend money for improvements that may have to be torn out if the property is developed and this would be a big waste of money. Councilman Edgar pointed out that the funds are available and the ~eople who live and own businesses on E1 Camino want improvements now and the Council is obligated to advance now. Mayor Pro Tem Hoesterey said that the proposed treatment of inter- sections would attract ~eople more than what is between intersec- tions. Councilman Saltarelli thought the whole premise of intruding into the street with landscaping and benches was wrong. People will not be coming to this area to sit around on benches. He was against any intrusions into the street but was in favor of completing the deco- rative work and the sidewalks at each of the intersections. He also was in favor of Mr. Flarety~s suggestion of 2 hr. parking. Councilwoman Kennedy asked for any input from the residents of the area. ADJOURNED COUNCIL MEETING Page 2, 3-8-82 Mike Shroup agreed with Mr. Saltarelli that if people wanted a place to sit, they could go to the park that is about a biock away. It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Saltarelli, that staff be directed to proceed with the plans with the following stipulations: 1) The decorative treatment of every intersection, crosswalks and curb returns (including the two end intersections) be as presented on the plans but that the mid-block crossing walks be left as a con- cept to be implemented with the development of that area; 2) curbs to remain in their existing location with no landscaping encroaching into the streets; 3) Sidewalks to be put back in at the present width with the decorative treatment as planned; and 4) Removal of some trees at each end of E1 Camino and replacement with flowering trees that are not messy. Councilman Edgar continued that an element of this motion is we will not be committed to the maintenance of a lot of these areas. We are giving the consultant and the staff philosophical direction of what we expect to see. This will result in specific plans that will be approved when we advertise for bids and there will be an opportunity at that time to make slight modifications. Elmer Loy, Tustin Fix-It Shop, asked what the time element was o~ this. Bob Ledendecker, City Engineer, responded that we would advertise for bids on May 17th. Depending on what action is taken, perhaps a maximum of 2 weeks, we would award the bid either the last meeting in June or the first meeting in July. Construction is anticipated to be concluded about the first of Nov-mher. The motion carried 4-0, Sharp absent. It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, that if capital improve- ments can be funded through Redevelopment funds, including water improvements, they should be. Mr. Edgar agreed with Mrs. Kennedy that this has been our policy but he felt it needed to be reiterated. Mr. Hoesterey commented that the purpose of Redevelopment is to help rebuild an area and there- fore that money should be used to revitalize the area. Motion carried 4-0, Sharp absent. william Huston, City Manager, said that staff would like some gen- eral direction as to what the priorities are for capital improve- ments. He said that Council had received a staff report prepared by Mr. Ledendecker which contains many improvements. It would not be practical to prioritize each project but it would be helpful to know the priorities regarding beautification, traffic,.pedestrian safety, ~nderground2~ng, etc. With the statistics to be shown tonight, there is no question that we need a long-term capital /mprovement financ- ing program. Mr. Huston continued that one of the item~ on the agenda is the sta- t~s of selecting a consultant. We will bring a recomendation to. the Council in a few weeks. Mr. Ledendecker indicated in his report that we will soon be soliciting proposals for the engineering analy- sis of the water system. He identified by means of a flip chart available resources through the end of next fiscal year for capital improvements as follows: 1) General Fund - $1,115,372 (Includes Co~unity Center reserve of $571,378); 2) Revenue Sharing - $292,846; 3) Gas Tax - $215,251; 4) Park Development - <7,365>; 5) Beautification - $91,633; 6) RDA - $245,180; and 6) Water -???. Councilman Saltarelli expressed that with the economic climate we should defer further beautification projects such as center islands' and undergrounding and focus on the water system, street signals, interconnect facilities etc. ADJOURNED COUNCIL ~-~.TING Page 3, 3-8-82 Councilman Edgar asked staff for more detailed data on the next fis cal year expenditures and revenue. Councilman Hoesterey expressed that our first priority should be public health and safety, including upgrading the water system. He agreed that undergrounding and beautification would not have high priority. councilwoman Kennedy placed traffic concerns high on the list of priorities. She would be in favor of beautification if it would attract more business to generate more revenue. Councilman Saltarelli said he would not be Opl~osed to a bond issue to accomplish certain identified high priority projects that could be accomplished soon at the cheapest possible price and then pay off the bonds with the increment. Councilman Edgar commented that he was in favor of expending money for storm drain on Prospect, signal at First and Prospect, widening of Prospect street, acquiring additional land for perking needs in the NW, NE and SE downtown areas and for expansion of City Hall,. upgrading of the water system particularly on main streets, and problem~ with drainage on Second Street. He was not in favor of cond-mning Matt Nisson's property on Red Hill and Walnut at this time. In terms of long-term plans he was in favor of closing in the open storm drain 0~ the north of Main Street/easterly of Newport freeway, widening of Red Hill (southerly of Melvin Way) to the ulti- mate right-of-way, end address some of the traffic needs on 17th Street by having the north side widened to its ultimate right-of-way between Prospect and the Newport Freeway. It was moved by Edgar, seconded b? Salta=elli, to adjourn at 9:03 p.m. to the next regnlar meeting on MaTch 15, 1982. Carried 4-0, Sharp absent. MAYOR MI~ OF A a~u~AR ~s~TING OF ~ ~S'r~ CIT~ CO~u,,- COUNCIL CHAMBERS 300 Centennial Way March 15, 1982 TO ORDER II. RO~L C~T.?. C~C~8 1. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Sharp at 3:15 p.m. coUncilpersons Present: Councilpersons Absent: Others Present: Edgar, Hoesterey, Kennedy, Saltarelli, Sharp None James G. R~urke, City Attorney william A. Huston, City Manager Mary E. Wynn, City Clerk Mike Brotemarkle, Comm. Dev. Director Ken Fleagle, Planning Consultant Bob Ledendecker, Director of Public Works Roy Gonzales, Personnel Director Ronald Nault, Finance Director Royleen White, Community Services Director Fred Wakefield, Captain, Police Department Eva Solis, Deputy City Clerk Approx/l~ately 30 in the audience The Mayor read and presented to Scott Tokarzewski, Red Cross Youth Volunteer, a proclamation designating March, 1982, as "Red Cross Month." 84 Rick Horton, President of Californian Tenants' Association, pro- vided an update on the condominium conversion proposal by Cai- State Associates for the Californian Apartments and relayed problems residents are facing as outlined in his letter dated March 2, 1982. Mr. Horton added that aside from cosmetic repairs, no structural repairs are being made. Also, construc- tion on a temporary structure was commenced the week before, with 29 parking spaces removed for a storage area, without City permits. A stop work order was issued by the City, but Mr. Horton reported that work has been continuing on the project out of the public's view. The Comm~lnity Development Director responded that no tentative map or final map has been filed, therefore, the City is pres- ently dealing with a Use Permit only and utilizing tentative map approval as a mechanism by which to achieve compliance. He con- tinued that if a tenant has a specific problem, it should be reported to the Community Development Department, and an Inspec- tor will be sent out to that unit. That particular unit may then be "piecemeal-improved." Staff has been pressing for sub- mittal of a comprehensive plan for the overall treatment. There is a Relocation Coordinator on-site now. Staff has informed Cal State Associates that any building permit issued, on either all or a portion of the project, constitutes implementation of the conversion. Even though the 120 days on the assistance program does not commence until May 18, when it will be automatic for all tenants, those tenants that would be specifically affected by any building permit would be automatically, immediately eligible for the relocation assistance program because the building permit would supersede the 120-day waiting notice. As part of the Use Permit approval, the relocation plan will auto- matically go into effect on May 18 for all tenants. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 2, 3-15-82 Cal State Associates has been informed by staff that enclosing the garages would be considered a building permit for those tenants whose garages or parking spaces were eliminated end the relocation assistance plan would be implemented for those units immediately, end a stop work order was issued on those building enclosures. 'A stop work order was not issued for r~moval of some of the storage units within the parking garages, since it would have been granted regardless of whether a conversion was being considered or not. Normally the map and use permit are coterminous. In this parti- cular case, without a subdivision map the requirement for 120- days' notice of intent to convert is not enforceable until actual c~encement of sales is within 120 days. Mr. Horton requested that Council consider implementing a time- table for completion of the conversion. Councilwoman Kennedy suggested that anything that threatens health, safety, or life be checked into and compliance encouraged. The City Attorney stated that under the approval given, the developer is required to file a proposed tenant relocation pur- chase plen with the City. Even though a document entitled "Highlights - Tenant Assistance Program" was filed last week, the developer should file a document with details of the tenant assistance and relocation for consideration by staff and approval by the Council or planning Agency. Secondly, any waiver of conversion rights being signed by tenants does not have any application. City approval and Ordinance 822 require that anybody who was a tenant at the t/me of Use Permit approval in January, 1982, is entitled to receive relocation benefits. After further discussion, the City Attorney indicated staff could make available to all tenants copies of the document enti- tled "Highlights" which has been filed with the City. If any tenant has input approving/disapproving same, it should be filed with the Community Development Department. Ultimately, the project must have City approval. First, the developer should provide and identify whatever the complete plan is, provide copies to the tenants, and staff can proceed fr0~ there to make a recommendation to the Agency. If and when a final document is filed, the developer can provide tenants with a copy of same. 81 Item 11 was removed from the Consent Calendar by Saltarelli. It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Hoesterey, to approve the remainder of the Consent Calendar. Motion carried 5-0. 1.

Also, staff is waiting for the telephone company to complete the conversion lapproximately three weeks) until final accounting notices are sent out. l~O~IO~ NO. 82--23 -'A Resolution of the City Council of the city of Tustin, California, AUTHORIZING ~E DEPARTMENT OF GEN- ERAL SERVICES OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO PURCHASE CERTAIN ITEMS (POLICE PATROL VEHICLES) (BUDGETED) Approve purchase of six police patrol vehicles at a total purchase price of $54,343.38 and adoption of Resolution No. 82-23 as recommended by the Chief of Police. 87 D~I~L O~ C~A~M O~ SCOTT ..... ~- Date of Loss: 42-6-84, Filed with City: 2-14-82, Claim No. 82-4 Deny claim of Scott Keeler as recommended by the City Attor- ney. 40 DENL%L OF C~AIM OF PEAR~ ~%X- Date of Loss: 12-6-84, Filed with City: 2-41-82, Claim No. 82-5 Deny claim of Pearl Murray as recommended by the City Attor- ney. 40 10.

The City Manager and Director of Public Works provided clarifica- tion, stating that the City is ~zlder a State/Federal mandate to comply with the PrOgram; a need to increase staff is not envisioned; the program is for the betterment of the regional area; this is being proposed in the form of a resolution in lieu of an ordinance which StAG has been promoting; and it is more of a voluntary compli- ance and cooperation rather than a stiff, regulatory measure, which may be the ~ltimate. In response to the Mayor, Councilman Saltarelli stated he would be in favor of the resolution so long as the last paragraph in the resolution is loose enough that the City cannot be forced to create an ordinance unless both the City and the Santa Ana Regional Water .Quality Control Board (RW~CB} agree that the voluntary program is ineffective. The City Manager stated that is the intent. In any case, the item would come back to Council and allow the opportunity to take whatever direction would be appropriate. The resolution merely indicates a statement of intent. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 4, 3-15-82 It was then moved by Kennedy, seconded by Edgar, to adopt the following resolution as reconuuended by the Engineering Depart- ment: 11. ~ESOLUTI~ NO. 82-24- A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Tustin APPROVING ~HE IMPLEMENTATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THOSE ELEMENTS OF THE SOUTH COAST AREAWIDE WASTE TREATMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN APPLICABLE %D ~HE CITY Motion carried 5-0. 107 VI.

Motion carried 5-0. Following reading of the title by the City Clerk, it was moved by Edgar, seconded by Hoesterey, that Ordinance No. 869 be passed and adopted. Roll call vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Edgar, Hoesterey, Kennedy, Saltarelli, Sharp None None 110 VIII Cherill Webb, Tiller Days Chairperson, reported that the com- mittee has looked into a couple of sources for the third power pole. One is the Marine Corps and the other is a private source. Nothing has materialized from either as yet. If neither of the two sources comes through, the Committee needs a co~nitment from the City because they feel they cannot do the Tiller Days without the third pole and electricity. In response to Councilman Hoesterey, Ms. Webb responded that last year, fuses were blown and circuit breakers went off with the existing equipment, and many booth renters did not have the electricity they needed. In response to the Mayor, the Community Services Director reported that Southern California Edison Company does not get involved in the hardware end. Gene Carter, Southern California Edison, clarified that the pole is not the issue; it's the com- mercial box, wiring, etc., that is expensive, which Edison Com- pany does not handle. Ms. Webb responded to Councilman Hoesterey that 10 of the 25 booths would have to be eliminated, along with the pancake breakfast, if activities are to be accommodated by existing equipment. She added that generators are extremely costly and noisy. In response to Councilwoman Kennedy, the Community Services Director stated that City use of the third pole cannot be justi- fied, even for Fourth of July activities; and Tiller Days is not envisioned as becoming self-supporting for approximately five years. Following further Council discussion, Council concurred that Councilmembers Edgar and Kennedy meet with Ms. Webb to attempt to reach a solution. 34 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 5, 3-15-82 VIII o BUSINESS 1.
