4. p~aT~O~ B~ ~ANCIAL
The Executive Director introduced Mr. Calvin Hollis, President of Katz,
Hollis, Coren & Associates, Inc., Los Angeles, retained by the Redevelop-
ment Agency for the purpose of preparing a financial plan. Mr. Hollis
made a presentation on the proposal authorized by the Agency and the
methodology the firm will use in preparing a financial strategy. Mr.
Hollls responded to Mr. Edgar that the consulting firm will provide
financing alternatives to the Agency.
5. A~C~ COnCErNS
In reference to the Downtown Landscape & Improvement Plan, Mr. Saltarelli
commented that he again visited Yorba Llnda's downtown area which is simi-
lar to what was proposed by the consultant. He stated he is more con-
vinced than ever that due to heavier traffic ~vements and differences in
areas and size, Tustln should not follow the same plan. The Community
Development Director responded that the Agency's direction was quite
specific on the actual design of physical amenities and that neither traf-
fic flow nor parking in the area were to be impinged upon. That afrectlon
called for a more straightforward engineering proposal where decorative
work is being done on existing parkways and sidewalks, but not encroaching
on the street right-of-way. The project is on schedule for plans and
specifications to be ready for the May 17 Agency meeting.
It was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Hoesterey, to adjourn at 3:35
p.m. to the next regular meeting on May 3, 1982. Carried 5-0.

As recommended by the Community Development Director in his
report dated April 19, 1981, it was moved by Hoesterey, seconded
by Saltarelli, to continue to the May 3, 1982, meeting consid-
eration of the following ordinance:

TO GAME ARCADES
The Mayor asked if anyone was present to speak on the matter.

TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT ~D "' ,.T. & ~ A~K~ES
Kathy Well, 1702 Summmerville, Civic Liaison for Tustin Meadows
Community Association, reported that at the April meeting of the
Association Board of Directors, a resolution was passed support-
ing installation of a new three-way traffic signal at Red Hill
and Walnut which would permit left-hand turns while holding
opposing traffic. Ms. Weil stated the Association is concerned
that because of the location of Mr. Nisson's proper~y and the
shortage of City funds, this project may get buried in the
budget. ~sldential streets are being burdened with increased
traffic as a result of people cutting through Tustln Meadows to
reach Sycamore. MS. Well stated that the Association would like
to see something done to alleviate the problem and is willing to
assist staff.
Tn. Director of Public Works responded that at the April 5 meet-
ing staff had indicated they would come back with a report
regarding the intersection. The data has been obtained and is
now being compiled and will be available at the May 3 meeting
with specific reco~endations · The Mayor suggested that Ms.
Well meet with staff to review subject report prior to the May 3
meeting. 94
2. PO~I~CAL SIGNS
Helen Edgar,' 13622 Loretta Drive, stated that although it has
been one week since the election, political signs are still
visible throughout the City. She reported that she has received
three requests from residents that a setback requirement be
enforced for political signs.
Co%~%ctlman Hoesterey commented that the political sign require-
ments should once again be reviewed and reclarified. Also,
there should be clear delineation as to who is responsible for
enforcing election laws and what the penalties are for viola-
tions of those laws. He recou~aended that this matter be
referred to staff. Council concurred. 93

meeting. Carried 5-0. 50

The Co~unlty Development Director presented the staff report
and recom-_ndation. As reco~nended by the C~unlty Development
Depart~nt in the report dated April 19, 1982, it was moved by
Kennedy that the agreement between Mr. Kelly and the City be
extended for a period of 120 days. As planning and construction
continue, the Co,unity Development Director shall provide a
written progress report to the City Council at the second meet-
ing of each month. The Council will then be able to judge if
work is progressing in a satisfactory manner. The motion died
for lack of a second.
It was then moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Edgar, that if the
project is not completed by May 1, 1982, that the bond be
revoked and the City Attorney be directed to take whatever
action is necessary to bring the property into full compliance.
The City Attorney responded to Councilwoman Kennedy that if the
property would not be brought into conformity by May 1, then
staff would be required to take legal action against the prop-
erty to enjoin its occupancy and use until it is brought into
conformity with the Code.
Following further Council discussion, the motion carried 4-1,
Kennedy opposed. 81

In addition to his report dated April 14, 1982, the Director of
Public Works added that staff received from OCTD a letter and
scope of work that they propose to have their consultant perform
under. The letter indicates there is no major change in the
n,~her of routes or level of service contemplated at this time.
Whatever the study would dictate the needs to be, the City would
at that time have control to either accept or reject same if the
amount of b~ses or service is going to be increased. Secondly,
OCTD did not specifically answer with any concern of locating
either outside the City or in another specific location, i.e.,
industrial area or First Street in Santa And. In discussion

with OCTD, it was indicated that if an area outside the City is
studied, then the agreement would be between such other Agency
and OCTD, and the City would not participate at that time.
Councilman Salter.iii voiced his objection to a transportation
center in Tustin. It was moved b~ Salter.iii, seconded by
Kennedy, to not enter into the Transit Center Feasibility Study
Agreement and inform OCTD that under no circumstances is the
City of Tustin interested in having a transportation center
located in the City.
Councilman Hoesterey expressed his suppor~ of the motion. Mayor
Sharp commented he had voiced his feelings on the matter at the
April $ meeting. Re motion carried 4-1, Sharp opposed.
(14992 Newport Avenue)
The Community Develola~ent Director presented the staff report
and recommended that it be referred to the City Attorney for a
future repor~ back to the Council.
Rick Horton, President of Californian Tenants' Association,
brought the following areas of major concern to Council's atten-
tion for inclusion in the City Attorney's report:
a. Page 2, Tenants Eligibility Requirements, first paragraph
Requested the City Attorney define "tenants."
Page 3, Eligibility Disqualification - The Association is
opposed to this entire section, as the City Ordinance has
already defined eligibility.
Ce
Page 6, Rent Raises - The City Council and City Ordinance
have made it clear there would be no rent raises, yet this
section asks for rent raises.
It was then moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, to refer the
matter to the City Attorney for a report at the May 3, 1982,
meeting. Motion carried 5-0. 81
1. ~EST FOR ~ ~ (13602 Malena Drive)
Pursuant to the recommendation contained in the report dated
March 29, 1982, prepared by the Maintenance Superintendent, it
wes moved by Ho,stet.y, seconded by Edgar, that the two parkway
trees in front of the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Marcinkevicz,
13602 Malena Drive, be removed as requested and that the trees
be replaced with a type selected by them from the City-approved
tree list. Carried 5-0. 86ol
2. I~UEST FOR ~U.v~.K OF PARK LAND D~DICAT~Gt~ F~ES - '~CT 11370
The Community Development Direotor presented the staff report
and recommendation.
The motion by Kennedy to lower the park land dedication fee by
35%, fro~ $52,000 to $33,800, as long as the waiver is granted
under the Housing Element condition which involves resale prohi-
bitions, died for lack of a second.
Council/staff discussion followed. The City Manager added that
the City is not obligated to require follow through for lack of
speculation because there are no government funds involved, this
is a voluntary program, and as a practical matter, the City
does not have the structure to enforce a provision that a unit
be .transferred/sold only to a person in the low- or moderate-
income range.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 5, 4-19-82
Mark MacA1pine, representing the Robert P. Warmlngton Company,
requested clarification on whether Councilwoa~n Kennedy's motion
would place a deed restriction on units appointed as affordable.
The Community Development Director stated that the Code stipu-
lates that it would be a purpose of the Housing Element to pro-
mote continued acquisition of affordable units by other families
in those income groups. In this specific case, the developer is
exceeding the minimum percentage, which is 15-20% affordable by
going to 35%. On the other hand, without those deed restric-
tions, basically the first-time buyer would be the only one to
achieve maximum benefit. The Director pointed out that the
Housing Element would not "mandate" but "promote" this stipula-
tion.
A substitute motion by Kennedy to continue the matter to allow
staff to provide additional information/clarification died for
lack of a second.
In response to Councilman Saltarelli, Mr. MacAlpine stated that
a two-week contin~ance would not negatively affect the project,
but if resale controls were to be added, the waiver request
would be withdrawn.
Council/developer discussion followed. It was then moved by
Edgar, seconded by Saltarelli, to waive 35% of the park land
dedication fees, since 35% of the units will be sold as afford-
able, from $52,000 to $33,800.
After further Council/staff discussion, the motion carried 5-0.
81
As requested in the letter dated April 7, 1982, from Te~y L.
Sorensen, President of the Tustin Jaycees, it was moved by
Hoesterey, seconded by Saltarelli, to approve the following:
1)
2)
3)
The Jaycees will procure adequate liability insurance to
cover their own involvement in the parade, while the City
will procure its own coverage to the extent of its involve-
ment, with each party then having coverage to the extent it
may dee~ necessary;
Only those equestrian units with substantial parade experi-
ence (i.e., 6 parades within last 12 months) and good safety
records will be allowed to participate; in addition, with
the exception of military units, these entries will be
required to provide evidence of at least $1,000,000 of
liability coverage and sign an agreement relieving the City
and Jaycees of any liabilities resulting from their partici-
pation in the parade; and
The City will provide advance funds to the Jaycees to run
the parade in an amount not to exceed $2,750.00.
Councilman Edgar requested that the "Release, Hold Harmless and
Indemnity Agreement" be corrected to read "Tustin Jaycees"
rather than the "Tustin Junior Chemmber of Commerce."
The motion carried 5-0.
34
The Mayor recognized Agnes Bacon and Margaret Byrd, who spoke in
opposition to the City providing funds to the Jaycees for the
parade.
Councilman Edgar responded that the Jaycees have done a great
n,~her of things for the community such as Sr. Citizens' Picnic,
the concept of having a Miss Tustin, etc.
Councilman Hoesterey commented that Council took action to
review the entire Tiller Days event in light of Cherill Webb's
(Tiller Days Committee) request. Although ~his is a different
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 6, 4-19-82
organization, it should be included in Co~ncil's study of fund-
ing these elements within the ne~Wc year. It is far enough into
this year's events that to turn around at this time would be
quite damaging without giving these institutions the ability to
look for other sources of funding. In response to the Mayor,
Councl]man Hoesterey continued that instead of going along the
same course because it's been followed forever, and in light of
the fact that the City is facing more austere times in the
future, it is time to review this and maybe find other methods
of funding the projects. However, for this year, the City is
committed to the event.
Council concurred.
1. I~T FOR ~sz,,~uu~.J,.vss ~SI~
The City Manager reminded Council that an Executive Session was
requested for d~scusslon of labor negotiations.
ae
Senior Citizen Housing - Councilman Edgar stated that during
recent months considerable attention has been d~rected
towards the need for affordable senior citizen housing in
Tustin, but many of these discussions did not reflect
realistic funding mechanisms. He continued that many indi-
viduals are desirous of a program paralleling HUD Title 8;
those who have such housing are very appreciative, but the
cost is prohibitive; and ~irect subsidies of rent involve a
local bureaucracy which is costly and never satisfies every-
one.
He suggested the City take the a~ection of using Redevelop-
ment funds for housing and proposed a plan whereby land
would be purchased with Redevelopment funds at appraised
value on which senior citizen housing would be built. Ail
off-site Improvements would be paid for by the Agency. With
such land ow~ership, the Agency could contrac~ with a devel-
oper to b~ld units for rental to senior citizens. Since
the end use is control, the size of the units could be small
and relatively dense. Also, the use could be controlled so
that the tenant had only one car and thus would require only
one ~arking space. The developer would own and rent the
units profitably to seniors and no direct Agency involvement
would be needed. A long contract (such aS 25 years) would
be written, after which time ownership would revert to the
Agency. Cost-of-living increases in rental would be permit-
ted with the provision that larger increases would require
justification at a ~ublic hearing of the Agency. With the
contract and the Agency owning the land, any unfair treat-
ment would be highly visible and few complaints would be
likely.
Councilman Edgar continued that his plan does not require
massive sums of money to initiate and can be implemented on
a lot-by-lot basis. The only limitation would be the will-
ingness of a landowner to sell to the Agency at appraised
value. There are many parcels of land in the old downtown
area which could be used this way.
Specifically, Councilman Edgar stated that a long-time sup-
porter of Tustin, Mr. Walter Fredrickson, owns a parcel at
525 South "B" Street and is willing to proceed along the
lines proposed by Councilman Edgar. He noted the following
figures on this action: The appraised val~e of the land is
about $100,000 which would be purchased by the Agency; the
dimensions are 50 by 150 ft. or .176 acres; six small units
at about 600 sq. ft. each with one parking space per unit
could fit on this lot at a ~nit density of about 35 per
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 7, 4-19-82
be
acre; at construction costs of $60 per sq. f~. ~he 4er.lop-
sent would cost over $200,000. With this investment and no
need to cover land or outside improvements, Mr. Fredrickson
might be able to rent the units profitably for $250 per
month, which by current standards would be affordable to
senior citizens. Inflation increases would not be painful
since such increases would be tied to the Consumer Price
Index.
It was ~hen moved by Edgar, seconded by Ho.stet.y, that this
concept be reviewed by staff with a report for consideration
by the Agency and Council at the May 17 meeting.
Tn. City Manager responded to Councilman Edgar's proposal
~hat the Agency can ~er~alnly get involved in housing pro-
gram,, be it for seniors or low- and moderate-income
groups. He stated that the Agency will need to address a
couple of points, and staff will need more t~-~ to prepare a
repoz~ c~ Mr. Edger's proposal. He suggested that the pro-

stated that although it embodies all details, he wished to
confirm that the Columbus Tustin Park & Multipurpose Recre-
ation Facility plan will be expected on July 19, 1982, and
the Master Plan of Recreation and Parks, on Dec-tuber 20,

currence with the proposed arrangement of the task force.

congestion, the City Manager stated that staff will have an
engineering analysis done to address those type of problems.
