Director of Community Development, stated that on July 23, 1990,
Council Member Jack Reilly sent a memorandum to the Director of
Public Works/City Engineer concerning the drainage problems
occurring on Tenth Street, between "D" Street and Arrowhead
Avenue. The problem exists because of inadequate curbs and
gutters which sag causing an accumulation of stale water. An
investigation was made by staff to determine if CDBG funds could
be utilized and if the project met HUD eligibility requirements.
The investigation determined that the project was eligible for
CDBG funding. On August 6, 1990, the Community Development
Citizens Advisory Committee recommended funding this project~
Council Member Pope-Ludlam made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Miller, and unanimously carried, that CDBG funding
in the amount of $10,000 to finance the construction of curbs and

Council in June, 19B8, for the construction of a patio canopy
adjacent to the Center for Individuals with Disabilities' kitchen
area. The Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services
has requested an additional $2,500 to enable the project to be

for the Center for Individuals with Disabilities in the amount of
$2,500 be approved to cover higher construction cost estimate for

RECLASSIFICATION OF COORDINATOR OF VOLUNTEERS POSITION
- DEPARTMENT OF PARKS, RECREATION AND COMMUNITY
SERVICES (12)
In a memorandum dated August 20, 1990, Diana M. Ramirez,
Personnel Analyst, stated that a request was received from the
Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services to make the
current classification of Coordinator of Volunteers a full-time
position. The Council Personnel Committee at its meeting of
August 9, 1990, approved this request and recommended full
Council approval.
In a memorandum dated July 1B, 1990, Annie F. Ramos,
Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services, stated that
the request to reclassify the Coordinator of Volunteer's position
from part time to full time is being made because of past
experiences which have shown that it is extremely difficult to
recruit the calibre of person required for this position. By
changing the position to full time and providing fringe
benefits, it is believed that recruitment would improve and the
position may be filled with a person who would be less likely to
leave after a short period on the job.
Council Member Pope-Ludlam made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Miller, and unanimously carried, that one position
"Coordinator of Volunteers" be added to the Parks, Recreation and
Community Services Department's budget.

of Personnel be instructed to update Resolution 6433, and

District No. 977 was formed to acquire a portion of the public
improvements installed by Tracts No. 14184 and 14185, at Cajon

district be formed to acquire a portion of the public
improvements. Formation of this district would allow the buyers

- LAFCO 2599 (25)
In a memorandum dated Augus.t 15, 1990, Roger G. Hardgrave,
Director of Public Works/City Engineer, requested a public
hearing for adoption of the resolution ordering Annexation No.
342, a territory generally located north of the 1-10 Freeway,
between Tippecanoe Avenue and Mountain View Avenue.
In a letter dated September 4, 1990, William R. Heers, Chief
Executive Officer, John C. Heers, Inc., 1450 E. Cooley Drive,
Colton, CA 92324, requested a six-month continuance of the
hearing on Resolution No. 90-342 for the proposed annexation.
The purpose of the continuance will be to resolve the problems
associated with the annexation, and the possibility of entering
into an annexation agreement with the City together with an
amendment to the General Plan. Mr. Heers explained that under
the proposed annexation, he could possibly lose sixty units and
encounter numerous unknown stumbling blocks that he would not
encounter if he stayed in the County.
In a letter dated August 31, 1990, addressed to William R,
Heers, Serrano Homes, 1450 E. Cooley Drive, Colton, Ca. 92324,

presently within the City limits, but is within the City's Sphere

9/5/90
Thomas L. Miller, attorney representing John C. Heers, Inc.,
explained the problems associated with the proposed annexation.
He stated that there would be no need for a continuance if the
City would approve a General Plan amendment to keep the zoning
consistent with that in the County.
A discussion ensued regarding the number of units per acre
needed to keep the same zoning designations as the County.
Mr. Miller answered questions of the Council regarding other
projects that have been built by Mr. Heers.
Mr. Miller pointed out that his client, Mr. Heers, wishes to
avoid having to go through the City's planning process, as he has
already had a final map processed, approved and recorded by the
County.
Larry Reed, Director of Planning and Building Services,
stated that staff supports the request to allow seventeen units
per acre. However, he requested time to analyze the differences
in the County's R-3 zoning designation and the City's R-3 zoning

PROTEST HEARING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 997
CHESTNUT AREA LANDSCAPING (26)
In a memorandum dated August 13, 1990, Roger G. Hardgrave,
Director of Public Works/City Engineer, stated the subdividers
for Tracts No. 13603 and 13307 are being required to install
landscaping for the entire width of the vacated Chestnut Avenue
adjoining their respective tracts and to establish the
maintenance district. To assess the two tracts only for the
maintenance of this area which is estimated at $31,354.00
annually would be prohibitive. Therefore, all of the area which
adjoins the Chestnut landscape area will eventually be included
in the district as they subdivide to spread the costs more
equitably over the larger area of benefit.
Mayor Holcomb opened the hearing.

stated that Mr. Walter's property could be deleted from the
assessment district, but suggested that Mr. Walters be required
to join the district, as the undeveloped area is being developed.
A discussion ensued regarding other properties that would be
included in the assessment district.
Council Member Minor made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Reilly, that the protests, if any, be overruled, the
hearing be closed, and find and determine that the public
convenience and necessity require the proposed maintenance of
landscaping in the Chestnut area, and that the Special
Assessment, Investigation and Limitation Act of 1931 shall not
apply; and that the following resolution be adopted.

MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL (27)
In a memorandum dated July 31, 1990, Shauna Edwins, City
Administrator, stated that the Municipal Code does not allow car
an appeal fee of all vehicle, weed and building/nuisance

established. This fee will be charged to appellants who have
previously protested to the Board of Building Commissioners and
their protests have been denied. The ordinance allows for
reimbursement of the appeal fee at the discretion of the Mayor
and Common Council should the appeal be granted.

APPEAL BOARD OF BUILDING COMMISSIONERS' ABATEMENT
ACTIONS - 943 PENNSYLVANIA - ENOS DENNIS - CONTINUED
FROM AUGUST 6, 1990 (32)
This is the time and place continued to for an appeal filed
by Enos Dennis on the Board of Building Commissioners' finding to
abate property located at 943 Pennsylvania. This matter was
continued from August 6, 1990, at the request of the appellant.
In a memorandum dated July 24, 1990, Larry Reed, Director of
Planning and Building Services, stated that an inspection was
made on the property and a junk yard business was found to exist.
The previous owner, Mary Mannings, was notified of the violations
and ordered to cease operation. On August 31, 19BB, the City
abated the property, incurring costs of $13,571.81. A new owner,
Enos Dennis, acquired t.he property after abatement actions and
costs had been incurred. It was noted that prior to the case
going before the BBC, severe fire damage had occurred to the
structure.
**Note: It was noted that the costs of the abatement had
been reduced by $1,727.66, in accordance with City Res. 90-100.
The corrected abatement cost is $11,B44.15.
Mayor Holcomb opened the hearing.
Enos Dennis, 1247 E. B7th Place, Los Angeles, CA 90002,
requested that the administrative costs be deleted from the
costs of abatement. She felt that as new owners of the
property, the City should recover the abatement costs from the
previous owner.
City Administrator Edwins gave background information
regarding the property at 943 Pennsylvania. She explained that
no title search was conducted when the property was first bought.
Mrs. Dennis explained the circumstances that transpired
from the time the property had been acquired.
Mrs. Dennis inquired whether or not there are laws which
allow a property owner to make installment payments rather than
paying the lien costs in full.
City Administrator Edwins answered questions, explaining
that when a lien is placed against the property, the lien is paid
along with the property taxes, payable in two installments in the
months of November, 1990 and April, ]991, but if a property owner
refuses to pay the property taxes, the County can force the sale
of the property in five years.

This is the time and place continued to for an appeal filed
by Larry Bangert, on the condition that the to construction of a
six foot high "woodcrete" wall be modified to allow landscaping.
C.U.P. No. 90-07 is a request to establish a U-Haul business
within an existing mini-storage facility.
In a memorandum dated August 20, 1990, Larry Reed, Director
of Planning and Building Services, stated that the appeal was
continued from July 16, 1990, so that alternative amendments to
the screening condition could be developed. These have been
developed. One alternative is to require a landscaped buffer
outside the existing chain link fence on the City's right-of-way.
This area is designated for the proposed Pepper Linden Drive and
interchange. A temporary encroachment permit from the Public
Works Department would be required and the applicant has applied
for this permit. Another alternative is to require the
landscaping on the inside of the fence. However, the amount of
landscaping area would need to be restricted so that adequate
access lanes can be maintained.
Mayor Holcomb opened the hearing.
Larry Reed, Director of Planning and Building Services,
stated that staff has been working with the applicant and the
applicant has submitted plans, but the plans need final approval
from the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department.

property owner to grant a right of entry to the City. The City
will have the right to enter onto the property to do any
necessary maintenance and lien the property for the costs
incurred by the City. He stated that this language should be
standard in all landscaping agreements.

Mayor Holcomb suggested amending the motion to include the
following language: "that the property owner enter into a
covenant burdening the property for maintenance of the
landscaping; that the covenant run in perpetuity with the land;
and that the land be subject to a lien for the costs the City
incurs for the maintenance of landscaping".
A discussion ensued regarding the purpose of having a
convenant for City owned property.
The Planning and Building Services Director answered
questions, and explained the purpose of having a covenant
running with the land for City owned property. He stated that if
the owner fails to maintain the landscaping, although it is City
property, the City will have a method of recovering the costs for
the maintenance.
Council Member Miller made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Pope-Ludlam and unanimously carried, that the hearing be
closed; that the appeal be upheld and that Conditional Use Permit
No. 90-07 be approved subject to the findings of fact,
conditions of approval and standard requirements contained in the

Parks and Recreation Department on the outside of the existing
fence on the north and east property lines. A temporary
encroachment permit is required to be obtained from the Public
Works Department prior to landscaping and irrigating the buffer
area. "
Council Member Miller made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Pope-Ludlam and unanimously carried, that the property
owner enter into a covenant burdening the property for
maintenance of the landscaping; that the covenant runs in
perpetuity with the land; and that the land be subject to a lien

Sensystem Engineering Company, Incorporated, (WSECO) is appealing
Planning Commission's denial of Conditional Use Permit No. 90-2.
The applicant requests approval of C.U.P. No. 90-2, to allow the
construction of a self-service drive-through tunnel carwash and
storage building at the existing Shell Service Station on the
northwest corner of Waterman Avenue and Hospitality Lane.

the basis that the proposed changes at the service station were
not compatible with the character of adjacent development and not
consistent with the intent of the General Plan. The General Plan

(Commercial Regional-3 land use designation) to convey a high
quality "corporate park" character.

the requirements of the Planning Department, including traffic,
fire, all municipal codes, land use, noise, and landscaping have
been satisfied. The City's noise requirement has been satisfied
by the elimination of the blower/dryers from the car wash. He
stated that the Company is willing to make other major changes as
recommended by the acoustical study to ensure that this project
will be a high quality development to upgrade the area.
In a letter dated September 4, 1990, Mr. P. Kumar,
President, WSECO, requested a continuance of the appeal hearing

unit expired. After nine negotiating sessions, the Mid-
Management Union declared impasse and requested the hiring of a
mediator. 'rhe Mayor and Common Council chose a hearing in lieu
of the mediator for two reasons: ]. cost savings and 2. the
opportunity to make the issues known to all Mid-Managers and the
public.
City Administrator Edwins stated that there are ten issues
over which the City and Mid-Managers have not reached agreement.
The three major areas of disagreement are:
1. The term of the MOU
2. Increases in medical benefits; and
3. Salary increases
City Administrator Edwins referred to an August 28th article
in The Sun regarding fees the County is going to charge cities
for collecting property taxes and for booking prisoners. The
City is anticipating a shortfall of approximately two million
dollars in our budget this year because of these two items. The
County wants to charge $125.00 for each booking. Last year the
City had ]1,000 bookings and it is anticipated that the City will
have to start paying 1.4 million dollars on January 1, 1991.
The City does not know what the County is going to charge for
collection of city property taxes. She stated t.hat another
problem that arose last week is that the State of California is
not going to give the City its cigarette tax money of
$430,000.00.

Susan Tarvin, Labor Relations Representative, stated that
an impasse hearing should have been held prior to this Council
meeting.
Ms. Tarvin stated that in light of the City's economic
condition, several issues have been withdrawn from the Mid-
Managers proposal. She summarized the key issues to the
Bargaining Unit: a) a 12-month agreement with a salary survey.
b) a total of $35B contributed toward the medical benefits. c)
over-time proposal; and d) maintenance of the membership
language.
Ms. Tarvin stated that the Bargaining Unit is proposing that
all Mid-Managers accrue 40 hours of comp time on July 1, of each
year with an option to receive straight time payor comp time for
all hours worked in excess of 40 hours during the year.
Ms. Tarvin stated that the Bargaining Unit is strongly
opposed to an 1B-month agreement.
City Administrator Edwins answered questions regarding the
method used to pay City employees for overtime worked.
John Tucker, a member of the Mid-Management Bargaining Unit,
answered questions, stating that Mid-Managers are not entitled
to overtime pay but they receive comp time for all overtime
worked in excess of 40 hours during a fiscal year.
