Riverside counties; Diamond Bar is the home of the South Coast Air Quality
Management District which employees a workforce of more than 800
employees; strong daytime population with significant office development,
business parks and employment centers; and, has a mix of established
community and neighborhood shopping centers situated through the
community.
Mr. Foster stated that the City's role in attracting businesses and economic
development should focus on defining and managing the City's expectation
and involve and work with property owners.
Mr. Foster stated that the seven areas that should be the "Focus Areas of
Opportunity" during the next 3 year period are: Grand Avenue/South
Diamond Bar Boulevard; SR 60/Brea Canyon Road; SR60/Golden Springs

1. SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS, CERTIFICATES, PROCLAMATIONS:
M/Lin and Councilmembers presented a City Tile to Susan Wang, President and
Timmy Liu, Assistant President of Old Chengdu, 1220 S. Diamond Bar Boulevard
Unit D as Business of the Month for October 2017
2. CITY MANAGER REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: None.
3. PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Pui-Ching Ho, Diamond Bar Library Manager, announced the many activities
planned this month at the Diamond Bar Library, including the Friends of the
Library sponsoring another great month in October. Everyone is reading Rise of
the Rocket Girls and participating in activities planned all month around the
theme of this book. On Saturday; October 28th at 3:00 p.m. Aidan Cole, a
Mission Assurance Manager from JPL will speak on the novel Voyager and
provide a behind -the -scenes primary missions of explorations of Jupiter and
Saturn. Also, a few employees from the earlier years of JPL mentioned in the
book Rise of the Rocket Girls will attend and the winners of the "How Books
Changed My Life" contest will be acknowledged. She stated that the library is
looking for teens who can come to the Diamond Bar Library on Tuesday, October
24th at 3:30 p.m. to make Paracord survival bracelets to be included in CARE
packages to deployed troops overseas, to new recruits graduating from boot
camp, veterans at home and first responders aiding in emergency situations. For
these and other events, check out the library website at
http://www.colapublib.org/libs/diamondbar/
Allen Wilson thanked staff for hosting the community meeting about the Diamond
Bar Boulevard/SR60/Golden Springs Streetscape project. He encouraged
residents to attend the General Plan Update Workshop Thursday, October 19th at
the Diamond Bar Center Grandview Ballroom from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. He took the
online survey and he is absolutely confused about the survey. It is not very clear
to him and he does not understand the survey which he feels should be more
simplistic and in layman terms. There have been discussions but he does not
know what is proposed to be done with the golf course such as turning it into a
town center. He likes Alternative 1 with a focus on the town center being on
Diamond Bar Boulevard between the SR60 and Golden Springs Drive. He also
inquired as to the status of the Sycamore Canyon Park Trail.
Teri Muse, Waste Management, spoke about the "At Your Door" program which
is free to all Diamond Bar residents and provides household hazardous waste
pickup at your door. Year to date, Waste Management has collected almost
22,000 pounds of hazardous waste from Diamond Bar residents which commonly
includes flammable liquids, fluorescent light bulbs, batteries, aerosol cans and
paint. Whenever Diamond Bar residents schedule a paint pickup through Waste
Management's "At Your Door program" between 35 cents to $1.60 is reimbursed
to the City. On behalf of Waste Management, she presented the City with a
OCTOBER 17, 2017 PAGE 3 CITY COUNCIL
Paint Care Reimbursement check in the amount of $1,446.80 for the second
quarter of 2017. She encouraged residents to gather up hazardous waste items
such as anti -freeze, fertilizers, pesticides, pool chemicals, household chemicals,
batteries and paint and schedule an At Your Door pickup by going online at
www.wmatVourdoor.com or by calling 1-800-449-7587. Pickups occur every
other Tuesday in Diamond Bar. She congratulated Diamond Bar for being super
recyclers.
Teresa Wang spoke about the on-line General Plan Survey and the questions
and concerns she had and felt that the survey was not user-friendly. She felt that
there had not been enough publicity regarding the General Plan Survey through
mailers, City publications, in-person outreach and social media channels.
Susan Pantages, Vice President, Diamond Bar Friends of the Library, announced
the November 4th first-ever event "Gently Used Purse Sale" in the Windmill Room
at the Diamond Bar Library on Copley Drive from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. 100
percent of the proceeds will go to fund the purchase of new furniture for the
children's section of the library. The Friends also received over 59 high-end
designer purses which include Louis Vuitton, Coach, Marc Jacobs, Kate Spade,
Michael Kores, Brighton, Dooney & Bourke and Gucci that will be silent
auctioned on an hourly basis.
Donna Earnheart stated that she was concerned about the possible use of the
Diamond Bar Golf Course and the possibility of relocating it to Tres Hermanos.
She wondered if the City would have specific outreach to residents living
adjacent to the golf course well in advance of other discussions. Residents are
concerned about existing green buffers that mitigate traffic noise and pollution.
She said she looked forward to a written response by November 10tH
Robin Smith commented on Consent Calendar Item 6.7, the contract to EIS
Services and asked that the City Council reconsider approving the contract. Ms.
Smith reported that the former Jewel Estates has been accepted and registered
as an official K'iche' Nation Sacred Oak Woodlands area by the California
Historical Resources. Furthermore, in addition to the team's discovery in
mapping California gnatcatchers in Pantera Park this year, that no survey by EIS
has ever documented the species in spite of them conducting numerous
biological reports here. These assets are the core of the community identity and
in addition to ecosystem service benefits, could provide possible eco -tourism
opportunities.
4. RESPONSE TO PUBLIC COMMENTS:
CM/Fox thanked Mr. Wilson for attending the Diamond Bar Streetscape
Workshop. Staff worked hard to put the event together and he appreciates Mr.
Wilson's positive feedback. He also thanked Mr. Wilson for the shout out
regarding the General Plan Workshop Thursday evening.
OCTOBER 17, 2017 PAGE 4 CITY COUNCIL
CM/Fox apologized if people felt the online survey was confusing or cumbersome
and said staff would work with the consultant to correct that issue and make
revisions accordingly. Nothing is set in stone and these series of workshops are
intended to help develop and establish consensus for which there will continue to
be multiple opportunities for residents to participate.
CM/Fox stated that with respect to Tres Hermanos, no one is suggesting at this
point that the Diamond Bar Golf Course will move to Tres Hermanos. The City of
Diamond Bar does not know what Industry's plan is for the land. It is frustrating to
staff and the City Council to attempt to figure out what their plan is. If this is
something the County is interested in moving forward with the community will be
made aware when the City is privy to additional information. As it relates to the
General Plan Update, it may be one of the land use considerations and all
options will be under consideration through the community outreach process.
CM/Fox stated to Council that with respect to the EIS contract before Council this
evening, staff respectfully disagrees with Ms. Smith's comments. Staff believes
that Mr. Lewandowski's firm does a very thorough and detailed job. The item
and the property in question this evening is an old RV storage lot adjacent to the
SR60 and staff believes that Mr. Lewandowski is certainly qualified and capable
of preparing appropriate environmental documentation. The cost of the contract
is ultimately paid by the developer.
M/Lin reiterated that with respect to the golf course, there are no plans
whatsoever at this point to do anything with the golf course which is owned by
the County of Los Angeles. As the City proceeds through the General Plan
Update efforts will be made to project the document out into the future 20 years
from today as to what kind of land use scenario Diamond Bar wants to have in
place. There are several alternatives that are being discussed and one or two
may have included discussions regarding the potential future of the golf course
property. It is at this time part of the discussion which is subject to public scrutiny
and comment. Nothing has been cast in stone at this time.
C/Tye said that since he and his family moved to Diamond Bar in 1983, this is a
subject that comes up every so often. The golf course is still there and it will
most likely be there long after he is gone. But what really troubles him is that a
speaker said, "are we working behind the scenes with the City of Industry" and
that is not the way this City and Council operates. Nothing is done "behind the
scenes." Everything is open. This is a publicly noticed meeting. Decisions are
made in public. The same speaker also talked about an "erosion of trust" and
that is what happens when a whisper campaign starts that says "we've got to get
out in front of this — they're going to develop the golf course." There is no talk of
that. He does not believe there is a consensus of the Council that that would be
a good idea and he thinks when the General Plan Update is done and it looks at
everything it does not mean that everything the GPAC looks at is going to
happen.

DRIVE (LOS ANGELES COUNTY ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBER
8293-050-002.
AP/Nakajima reported that the applicant requested approval of a Tentative
Parcel Map to subdivide an existing 13 -acre lot into three separate
parcels. On September 121h the Planning Commission recommended
approval by a 5-0 vote. The property is located within the Gateway
Corporate Center, a master planned business park. The property is
currently developed with two 3 -story office buildings. The subdivision
would create a parcel for each building, plus a common interest parcel that
includes the parking lot and other common areas.
CC&R's would be recorded concurrently with the Final Parcel Map to
establish property management and financial obligations for maintenance
of the subject property in perpetuity. The project complies with the
Subdivision Map Act and Diamond Bar's Subdivision's Code. There will
be no change to the existing office use and there will be no physical
changes to the property.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution
approving Tentative Parcel Map No. 74368 based on the Findings of Fact
and subject to the Conditions of approval as listed within the draft
Resolution.
M/Lin asked the total square footage of the two buildings.
AP/Nakajima responded 166,000 square feet.
M/Lin opened the Public Hearing at 7:35 p.m.

None
None
8.1 ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2017-34: REQUEST TO JOIN THE TAKING
BACK OUR COMMUNITY COALITION TO SUPPORT PUBLIC SAFETY
RELATED LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY EFFORTS.
C/Lyons stated that the changes enacted by AB109 and Propositions 47
and 57 have created a situation where violent and career criminals are
serving little or no time in prison which has had an effect of eroding safety
of California communities and certainly in the San Gabriel Valley. The
City of Monrovia started this program and there are now 19 public entities
that have joined in this common cause. The legislature and especially
Governor Brown need to be reminded of the ugly upward trend of crime
due to this legislation and she believes the Council should discuss and
consider joining the coalition because together more voices make
communities stronger.
MPT/Low agreed with C/Lyons that the Council should adopt this
resolution and join in this effort. In addition to the negative impacts of the
laws C/Lyons cited which have contributed to the unease regarding public
safety. In response, the public and legislators passed AB 1408; however;
the Governor vetoed the legislation despite the outcry from the legislators.
She believes Diamond Bar needs to get involved and work toward
educating the legislators so they can work in Sacramento to protect the
public.
C/Tye said when he first heard about this at Contract Cities earlier this
month his question was, what does this organization do that COG doesn't
OCTOBER 17, 2017 PAGE 8 CITY COUNCIL
do, that Contract Cities doesn't do, and that League of Cities doesn't do?
And in his opinion, it is one more voice to take to Sacramento and
believes it is a good use of resources and would whole heartedly endorse
joining the coalition.
C/Lyons asked CM/Fox if he had an opportunity to check in with the
Captain to see whether or not he weighed in on this proposal.
CM/Fox responded that the Sheriff's Department has not officially taken a
position. However, they are supportive of any type of effort to develop and
gather factual information regarding these propositions and effects of
crime in Diamond Bar neighborhoods.
C/Herrera moved, C/Tye seconded to Adopt Resolution No. 2017-34:
Request to Join the Taking Back Our Community Coalition to support
Public Safety related legislative advocacy efforts and recommended that
C/Lyons and MPT/Low be appointed as delegates to the coalition.
M/Lin said this issue has become a statewide issue. In fact, he was at a
press conference with Captain Reyes this afternoon regarding the safety
seminar this Sunday in EI Monte which is being held by an organization for
which he serves as president. The question that kept coming at them was
how come the crime rate has continued to escalate and what will you do
about it. M/Lin says he views this as a grassroots movement and anything
that is successful will have to come from the bottom up. He really
appreciates C/Lyons bringing this to the Council's attention and he full
heartedty supports the resolution.

9. COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS AND MEETING ATTENDANCE
REPORTS/COUNCIL MEMBER COMMENTS:
C/Lyons said she appreciated her colleagues' support of the Taking Back Our
Community Coalition. She thanked staff and especially SMA/Lopez for her
continued efforts toward promoting Restaurant Week. The restaurants she has
checked with during the past 10 days have indicated that their business has
increased during this time which is great. She encouraged everyone to try at
least one new restaurant between now and Friday. In the meantime, she
continues to work her way toward fulfilling her challenge to visit every
participating restaurant during this event. Along with M/Lin and C/Tye she
attended the grand opening of Sprouts Market which was a very well attended,
OCTOBER 17, 2017 PAGE 9 CITY COUNCIL
festive and high spirited grand opening. The Manager of Sprouts was the former
Von's manager. Last Saturday she and her dog attended Barktoberfest where
everyone was having a great time thanks to RS/Tarazon and staff who organized
the event. There are lots of good events coming up including one on Saturday,
October 28th at 3:00 p.m.in the Windmill Room in the Library, Read Together
Diamond Bar month wraps up with the excellent program featuring a speaker
from JPL and some of the Rocket Girls who helped launch America into space.
C/Herrera acknowledged and thanked staff for all of the good work they are
doing to make sure that the City remains fiscally strong with all of their efforts for
economic development. She knows that residents want many things and many
amenities within the City and it takes money to provide those things. Right now
the City has a balanced budget and a reserve which has to be protected in the
event of an emergency as happened last December when there were extreme
rains that resulted in a lot of flooding and mudslides throughout Diamond Bar.
So it falls back to economic development to help bring the City back to its usually
strong and healthy condition. Tonight the Council honored a business that has
been in Diamond Bar for a couple of years and she hopes that everyone will try
out the new businesses and try the different foods so that these businesses will
also reman healthy and stay in Diamond Bar. It is very sad when a business
opens in Diamond Bar and shortly thereafter closes because of lack of
participation onthe part of the residents. Residents need to be supportive of its
businesses for the health of the City.
C/Tye reminded everyone to participate in the General Plan Update workshop on
October 19 and remember that it is a part of the process. It is an important
document, it is an important part of going forward with the City and it is important
for residents to take these opportunities to participate. He echoed the welcome
to Sprouts. It is an exciting group of people and he hopes everyone enjoys the
shopping experience as much as he did. Restaurant Week has another three
days to go and he hopes that everyone will get out and spend their restaurant
dollars in Diamond Bar through the 20th and beyond and tell the folks they dine
with how much you appreciate them being a part of that because it will make the
event even better next year when more restaurants are added. Go Dodgers!
MPT/Low reported that Sprouts is a beautiful store that is well -stocked and well-
appointed and a -really nice addition to Diamond Bar. Please visit the store and
shop in Diamond Bar. Restaurant Week is awesome and encouraged everyone
to participate with the restaurants that are participating in this program. The
Council received a presentation earlier this evening that was mentioned by
C/Herrera on economic development. She thanked the economic development
subcommittee members C/Lyons and C/Herrera for their service and hard work
along with the City's consultant. Last Saturday the Friends of the Library
celebrated their 40th anniversary celebrating theirs and the Library's 40th year of
service to the community. She congratulated them and thanked them for the
work they do in the community. As everyone knows, the Librarian visits the City
Council every meeting to tell the public about all of the exciting programs that are
OCTOBER 17. 2017 PAGE 10 CITY COUNCIL
sponsored by the library and the Friends which requires a lot of thought and
preparation. Because of what they do they are a very treasured asset in this
community. On September 22nd she attended the Wildlife Corridor Conservation
Authority meeting. At that meeting, the Authority considered and approved a
resolution to purchase property with Prop A funds and to transfer that property to
the Puente Hills Habitat Preservation Authority. Go Dodgers!
M/Lin reported that last Saturday he was invited to a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
for the exhibit of the Chinese Art Gallery of America on Lycoming at Brea Canyon
Road in Diamond Bar. The gallery has a beautiful exhibit of artwork done by very
famous Chinese artists that includes oil paintings, Chinese traditional landscape
paintings and so forth.
ADJOURNMENT: With no further business to conduct, M/Lin adjourned the
Regular City Council Meeting at 7:55 p.m.
