C00NCIL ~ 7:44 M]kTKR SALES BATE INCHEASZ In the absence of the Finance Director, Charles Thayer, Interim City Administrator, gave the staff re~ort. The Public Hearing was opened at 7:45 P.M. Ferngi11 Hansen, N. #C" Street, asked for an explanation of the energy cost increase and commented that the 12% increase was more than the Senior Citisens are getting on their whole cost of living increase. Mr. Thayer responded that the major increases in the operation budget are a 40% increase in purchased water costs, a 27% increase in purchased power; and a 10% increase in pump tax. Capital improvements amount to $289,800. If rates are not raised this year, there will be a $286,000 shortage in the fund balance of the Water Department. Btll Davenport, Director of Municipal Water District No. 4 of Orange County requested verification of the 40% increase in water rates that was stated previously. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 6, 6-1-81 VIZ. CONCEITS 1 · Mayor Sharp said that verification of the facts would have to be made at the next meeting when the Finance Director would be present. Mr. Davenport responded that the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California actually has a decrease in rates for this year if you properly utilize interruptable pricing, and the Municipal Water District of Orange County does not pass on any increase so actually the overall wholesale rate of water to Tustin should be less than for the past year. He wanted to make sure that the facts were straight because he did not want the Metropolitan Water District to be held responsible for the increase in rates. There being no further comments or objections, it was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Edgar, to continue this hearing to the June 15, 1981 m~eting. Councilman Saltarelli suggested that staff could look at some alternative sources of raising revenue as opposed to general rate increases. Motion carried 5-0. 107 SIX STAR CABLEVISIO~ ANTeNnA LOCATIO~ The following people spoke in opposition to the Beneta Way loca- tion for the Six Star Cablevision antenna: Jim Baker, a Tustin resident; Gloria J. Alm, 17932 Lucero Way, Tustin; Bob Davis, Lucero Way, Tustin; George Banks, a Tustin resident; and Tom McDuff, 14521 Livingston, County area. There were approximately 25 people in the audience who were opposed to this location and a petition in opposition with approximately 80 signatures was presented to the Council. The opponents requested response to the following concerns at the June 15, 1981 Council meeting: 1. Address the landscaping and drainage project that was promised over 8 years ago; 2. Zoning aspects of Six Star's choice of location; 3. Can a private company erect industrial equipment in a residential area; 4. Does Council consider it ethical to support a private company such as Six Star Cablevision with public land; Ability of the City to erect bars in between bars to make it impossible for a small child to enter the drain- age area; 6. Creating an extreme attractive nuisance directly across from a Tustin school. Possibility of Six Star locating the antenna in an industrial area where they would buy or lease land and pay the appropriate taxes. Dr. Fleagle, Planning Consultant, explained that before Six Star could be granted permission to use any site, a Public Hearing would be required, with notification to all residents within 300 feet of the site, and an environmental analysis would have to be made for any site. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 7, 6-1-81 Council concurred that staff should prepare answers to these questions for the next meeting. 1.

AVENUE AND NISSON ROAD Mike Brotemarkle, Community Development Director, reported that the owner of the property to be rezoned, Mr. Tutt, has requested a chance to address the Council. He will respond in writing. It was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Edgar, to continue Ordinance No. 846 to the June 15, 1981 meeting for Mr. Tutt's written response. Carried 5-0. 109 I~SOT~I'/OB ~o. 81-55 A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Tustin APPROVING - THE DEVELOPMENT, CONSTRUCTION AND OWNERSHIP OF LOW-RENT HOUSING PPDJECTS, OF NOT TO EXC=~D 5% OF THE TOTAL DWELLING UNITS IN THE CITY OF TUSTIN AND APPROVING THE FORM OF COOPERATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF TUSTIN AND THE ORANGE HOUSING AUTHORITY AND AUTHORIZING ITS EXECUTION CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 9, 6-1-81 XI. NEW Mike Brotem~rkle, Community Development Director, reported that each project for low cost housing would have to be adopted by the City Council. He said this resolution and agreement allows the County to act on our behalf and to act immediately if we have an application for low cost housing. It was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Edgar, to adopt Resolution No. 81-55. Councilman Saltarelli urged the Council not to pass this. He said it was obvious that Proposition "X" that was placed before the voters was different from what we were told. It was to be a referendum granting the City of Tustin and the voters the right to vote on any low cost housing. This resolution states we have a need for low-rent housing which we do not. We have housing stock in all ranges. We have higher percent of apartment and low rent housing than most any city. We have not had any trouble in bringing in housing for senior citizens on our own merit. There is no reason to sign an outside agency to have control over our housing. Councilwoman Kennedy asked if this was a conunitment or is it just an opportunity to get a project for senior citizens. Mr. Brotemarkle responded that this would not take away the City's ability to pick and choose a particular project. The County of Orange Housing Authority already acts as our agent in regard to some housing issues. The cooperative agreement would allow them to continue to act as our agent if we choose to select a site and a developer and there are funds available. Following further discussion, the motion was defeated 1-4, Edgar, Hoesterey, Saltarelli and Sharp opposed. 45 81 AJ~LBDOFBID- CC~(B~rSTUST]/( PABKSITEPARE3]iGLOT Councilwoman Kennedy was concerned about the condition of the area around Beneta Way and the park. She suggested this be included in an overall plan for the area. Councilman Edgar agreed that it is necessary to have a total plan for the area but felt this portion should be approved now as inflation would cause the cost to be more in 6 months or a year. It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Saltarelli, to award the bid to Allied Sprinkler Company, Inc. of Anaheim, in the amount of $29,973.00 and authorize a supplemental budget appropriation of $10,000 fr~n general fund monies for this project. Councilwoman Kennedy stated that she could not support the motion because she felt we should take care of upgrading the area of Beneta Way. She asked if there would be any budget problem of tr{mming trees and eliminating weeds to improve the area. Bob Ledendecker, City Engineer, responded that this could be accomplished through day-to-day maintenance. There is a disease that affects the Orange trees but the area can be cleaned up within our operational budget. The motion carried 4-1, Kennedy opposed. 77 1. PMUm~ PROHIBITIO~ - 16561 ~T.T.TaWCE AV~q~E The City Engineer reported that he had received another request from an apartment owner since this report was submitted and he expects additional requests in the near future. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 10, 6-10-81 XXX. 2o It was m~ved by Saltarelli, seconded by Edgar, to authorize the installation of the following signing on the northerly side of Alliance Avenue and that warnings be issued in lieu of citations for the first 30 days after the sign installation= "NO PARKING, 6:00 AM TO NOON, THURSDAY, STREET SWEEPING." Carried 5-0. 75 AP~%~D OF BID - ~C FADD! A~ STORM DRAI~ NO. lA AND MAIN STreET STORM D~A~N NO. lB The City Engineer reported that the low bid was $167,266 for the storm drains. To bring the Council up to date on comparing budget figures, in addition to this cost, we have previously expended $18,000 in design engineering costs on the 2 projects and we anticipate an additional $10,000 if we have to utilize a consultant for the construction staking. It is necessary to put in a water valve in the Santa Aha water system which is approxi- mately $3,000. The total project cost would be approximately $198,266 instead of $211,200. It was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Hoestere¥, to award the contract for subject project to Mike Prlich & Sons of E1 Monte, California, in the amount of $167,266.00. Carried 5-0. 91 3. ~E~u~am.~=& OF SM'J~E~GPOOLCODE It was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Edgar, to direct staff to advertise a hearing for the purpose of amending Ordinance No. 835 pertaining to the construction of swimming pools as fol- lows: l) Delete the requirement for "key" locked gates; 2) Establish a performance criteria for soil preparation under decking; 3) Establish a minimum three (3) foot walkway require- ment around a pool; and 4) Establish a performance criteria for deck drainage.

Carried 5-0. 79 1. CL~I,NUPOFA~I~tOFm~ETA~LY Councilwoman Kennedy asked if Council did not want to give some direction to staff regarding the conditions in the area of Beneta Way. She felt this area was in very poor condition and the City should not wait six months or a year to improve it. Council concurred to cleaning up of the weeds and staff to respond to the areas of concern at the June 15th meeting which were requested by the residents. 108 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 11, 6-1-81 2. TRANS~ORTATI~ DI-~r~CT C~NDIDAT~S Mayor Sharp reported that he had received correspondence from several Mayors regarding sponsoring members of ~heir Council for the Transportation Distric~ opening.
