individual members of the City Council. Such
comments are viewed as personal attacks against

7. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
7.1 ORDINANCE NO. 94 -XX: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR REPEALING CHAPTER 15.30 (HOUSING
CODE) OF THE DIAMOND BAR CITY CODE, AS HERETOFORE
ADOPTED, ADDING A NEW CHAPTER 15.30 TO THE DIAMOND BAR
CITY CODE AND ADOPTING, BY REFERENCE, THE BUILDING AND
PROPERTY REHABILITATION CHAPTER 99 OF TITLE 26 OF THE LOS
ANGELES COUNTY BUILDING CODE, 1988 EDITION TOGETHER WITH
CERTAIN AMENDMENTS, ADDITIONS, DELETIONS AND EXCEPTIONS -
In the process of adopting the 1991 Uniform Building
codes, all L.A. County Codes were repealed, along with
Chapter 99 (Building and Property Rehabilitation). To
replace Chapter 99, the City's Uniform Housing Code was
adopted. During the past two years, the City has
experienced various property maintenance -type violations.
The re -adoption of Chapter 99 would consolidate the
sections on Substandard Buildings, Substandard Conditions
and Substandard Property, along with Section 22660 of the
Vehicle Code, as Chapter 99 also contains a provision for
abandoned vehicle abatement. Ordinance 94 -XX would give
the City an interim property maintenance code expanding
upon the provisions contained in the City's Housing Code.
This ordinance could then serve as an interim property
maintenance standard until such time as the Planning
FEBRUARY 15, 1994 PAGE 4
Commission completes its deliberations on the new
Property Maintenance Ordinance.
Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City
Council open the Public Hearing, receive testimony and
approve first reading by title only Ordinance No. 94 -XX.

the San Gabriel Valley City Managerst Assn. have proposed
the formation of a Council of Governments to provide
cities in the Valley a regional organization for
cooperative planning of government services and to assist
in the coordination of federal, state and regional
projects and/or mandates.
Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City
Council authorize the Mayor to execute the Joint Powers
Agreement establishing the San Gabriel Valley Council of
Governments. It is further recommended that the City
Council adopt Resolution No. 94 -XX appointing a
representative and alternate to the Governing Board of
the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments.
Requested by City Manager
9.2 ADDITIONAL CITY OFFICE SPACE AND LEASE MODIFICATION - The
City entered into a lease agreement with D.B. Business
Associates (DBBA) on April 18, 1989. In 1989, Pacesetter
Municipal Services leased space known as Suite 190 which
contains development services, engineering and building
and safety departments. As a provision of our agreement
with Pacesetter, the City reimbursed them for approxi-
mately 2/3 of the lease amount ($4,081.87/mo.), based
upon the square footage building utilized by the City.
After Pacesetter ceased operation, the City indicated to
DBBA that it would want to lease this space. The City
currently pays $6,667.67/mo. for Suite 100 and the lease
payment for Suite 190 would be $5,707.80. The lease
modification would result in an additional monthly
payment of $1,625.93/mo. for nine months. The cost
adjustment for the lease for Suites 100 and 190 was made
in the November 1993 budget amendment. Total cost for FY
93-94 would be approximately $150,000.
Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City
Council approve the modified lease agreement between the

Re: Your correspondence of January 6, 1994.
Dear Mr. Montgomery:
It is the purpose of this correspondence to respond
to yours of January 6, 1994, which appears to "relay" some sort
of public record request from one Terri Birrell pertaining to
documents and records with regard to the non -issue of Diamond
Bar Councilmember Gary Miller's involvement in the somewhat
euphemistically titled "South Pointe Master Plan." As you are
undoubtedly well aware, Mr. Miller, at one time, had an
interest in a portion of the real property within the South
Pointe Area. Having divested himself of any interest in the
subject property well over one (1) year prior to the project
application being filed, I provided the quite unremarkable
opinion that, pursuant to the requirements and strictures of
the Political Reform Act of 1974 (California Government Code H
87000, et seq.), the provisions of which I understand you are
passing familiar, Mr Miller had no conflict under the law.
As a result of that divestiture, and the time frame
involved, it was abundantly clear to all that Mr. Miller had no
conflict of interest. Yet, in an attempt on his part to ensure
that "politics" did not enter the fray, Mr. Miller clearly and
unequivocally announced to all and sundry that he simply would
not participate in the deliberations on the project. In fact,
as your self-styled "citizens group" client must recall, Mr.
Miller even went so far as to totally absent himself from
meetings at which it was discussed (and, while Mayor, handing
over the gavel to the Mayor Pro Tempore). Those actions on the
part of Mr. Miller were not only unavailing, they were
virtually counterproductive. In hindsight, if Mr. Miller was
to be subject to the personal abuse, venomous attacks and
Michael Montgomery
February 1, 1994
Page Two
vituperative slurs of members of the public in any event, he
probably should have participated.
Your desire to serve as a conduit to the public under
a purported Public Records Act (California Government Code §§
6250, et seq.) request perplexes me. I know of no attorney
representing cities in California who considers his or her
files to be available to the public under the California Public
Records Act. To presume that such files are available
thereunder strikes me as the height of folly and would, if
nothing else, eviscerate the salutary purposes of the
attorney-client privilege. Moreover, to simply share, with all
who have some chimerical need to rummage in the affairs of a
public official, the most personal of documents, including tax
returns and the like, is the antithesis of the zealous
safeguarding of a client's matters required of those of us who
attempt to honorably engage in the profession of law.
As I have stated, with some frequency, to
Councilmembers (including your erstwhile clients Ms. Ansari and
Messers. Harmony and Werner) I will not, and do not, share such
auricular matters with the merely inquisitive who purport to
espouse a "need to know". To do so would set at naught the
ability to provide thoughtful counsel to those requesting the
same. We take on faith that you would not remonstrate your
clients to forthrightly and candidly share all of the facts and
documents necessary to a thoroughgoing analysis of the client's
lot, all the while knowing that you will simply divulge the
aggregate thereof to any who inquire. That approach would,
doubtless, produce a client unwilling to impart, frankly, the
true state of the facts since, perforce, all will be presented
in the public domain and the postulate for candid analysis will
be reduced to absurdity.
Stated otherwise, if one's client cannot feel secure
that what is conveyed to one's lawyer goes no further, there
seems little, if any.point, to the exercise. The client will
simply provide a factual presentation that puts him or her in
the best light or, worse, will enshroud the pertinent data all
with the deleterious effects as have been visited upon others
unable or unwilling to confide in their counsel the unvarnished
truth. The lawyer's role will, then, be reduced to the
provision of an endless stream of homilies or truisms, with a
dollop of twaddle thrown in for good measure.
Michael Montgomery
February 1, 1994
Page Three
Leaving all of that aside, as manifestly stated to
your client, Max Maxwell, in September of the year last past,
all of the documents provided by Mr. Miller were returned to
Mr. Miller and not retained by this office for reasons which
should be abundantly clear, even to those who seek the
documents. To assert that this office "lost" the same is
laughable and requires no further response.
In summary then, if I had the documents, I would not
divulge the same; however, since I do not, the point is
somewhat academic, is it not?
Very ly yours,.

I have received the enclosed request for an opinion from
Counoilmember Papen. I am responding to the Council as a whole,
because I am unclear of the Council's; policy re individual opinion
requests.
First, responding to Mrs. Papen'sa question, the appellate decision in
Ward v. Superior_ Court, 1977, 70 Cal. App.3d 23, 138 Cal.. Rpt1r.
532, provides that dere mn be no separate attorney-client
relationship between the public agency attorney and each separate
officer. As stated at page 33, "He in no wise represents the officers
pertionally." Therefore, there is no attorney-client relationship
botween the attorney and the individual members of the council. No
such relationship existing, any records given to me in ray capacity as
City Attorney, would of necessity have to be turned over to the City
Clerk.
As to the second part of the request, personnel and disciplinary
matters are exempt from disclosure, where the release "would
constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy." Government
Code 18254.
1 ask the council to clarify whether or not the City Attorney is
expected to respond to individual opinion requests.

This correspondence is in response to yours of August
10, 1993 with regard to a request for information pertaining to
Mayor Miller's alleged conflict of interest concerning the
South Pointe project.
Preliminarily, let me point out that I have spoken
with Mr. Montgomery with regard to corresponding with you,
directly, and Mr. Montgomery, on September 22, 1993, indicated
that he has no concerns with my direct correspondence with you.
Additionally, it must be noted that your correspondence was
directed to me at the City Hall. As you may know, I do not
maintain an office presence at the Diamond Bar City Hall on a
daily basis and, accordingly, mail directed to me at that
location is collected by the City Clerk's office and forwarded
to me. Unfortunately, the letter dated August 10, 1993 was not
received by the undersigned until shortly after September 9,
1993.
Specifically with regard to your query, please be
advised that I have reviewed the files pertaining to Mr.
Miller's interests, or more appropriately, lack thereof,
vis-a-vis the South Pointe area. As you may know, the matter
is considered by this office to be attorney-client privileged
as to any information presented to me by Mr. Miller and,
additionally, any information provided by this office to Mr.
Miller with regard to the topic in question or related topics.
However, Mr. Miller has specifically instructed me to
correspond with you on the topic and to provide whatever

Dear Andrew Arczynski;
August 10, 1993
I am requesting copies of the information Mayor Gary Miller
submitted to your office that clearly states his position on not
having a conflict of interest in the South Pointe Master Plan, or
the R -N -P Development Inc. properties.
Gary Miller stated publicly that this information is available from
your office many months ago. I have already asked for this
information, however all the City gave me is a letter dated January
5, 1993 addressed to Councilman John Forbing, where Gary Miller
stated his position as: "The purpose of this letter is to inform
my City Council colleagues that I have made a decision to not be
involved in either the processing of nor the decisions relating to
one of the maps that has been submitted (Map No. VTM 51407) that is
a part of the South Pointe Master Plan."
The above statement is NOT a clarification of Gary Miller's
potential conflict of interest, nor does it meet the requirements
of supplying to the public enough material to clarify the issue.
Please forward the material that Gary Miller has submitted. If
the above letter is all that exists, please respond in writing to
clarify the matter.
Thank you,
Max Maxwell

MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
NOVEMBER 8, 1993
CALL TO ORDER: Chairman Meyer called the meeting to order at 7:10
p.m. at the South Coast Air Quality Management
District Auditorium, 21865 E. Copley Drive, Diamond
Bar, California.
PLEDGE OF The audience was led in the Pledge of Allegiance by
ALLEGIANCE: Commissioner Grothe.
ROLL CALL: Commissioners: Grothe, Li, Flamenbaum, and
Chairman Meyer. Vice Chairwoman Plunk was absent
(excused).
Also present were Community Development Director
James DeStefano, Associate Planner Robert Searcy,
Planning Technician Ann Lungu, and Contract
Recording Secretary Liz Myers.
CONSENT
CALENDAR:
Minutes of Moved by C/Grothe, seconded by C/Li and carried
Oct. 25, 1993 unanimously to approve the Minutes of October 25,
1993, as presented.
NEW BUSINESS: Chair/Meyer noted that, per Commission's direction
at the October 25, 1993 meeting, staff has provided
Parking the Commission, for it's review, a copy of the
Standards parking standards of the City of Diamond Bar and
the City of Walnut, as well as a copy of the
information from the Institute of Transportation
Engineers.
C/Grothe, dissatisfied with the compact parking
requirements in Diamond Bar's parking standards,
stated that he prefers many of the compact parking
items in the parking standards of the City of
Walnut because they are easier to read, are more
straight forward, and the length of the parking
stall is longer and remains constant. He pointed
out that the elimination of compact parking stalls
altogether would simply mean that the building
density would have to be somewhat smaller. It
would have been more appropriate had Diamond Bar
adopted parking standards of a city representative
of Diamond Bar rather than adopting L.A. County
parking standards blanketly. C/Grothe then
indicate that he would also prefer to add "No
Overnight On Street Parking" to the Parking
Ordinance.
November 8, 1993 Page 2
Chair/Meyer suggested that the Commission direct
staff to analyze existing ordinances and bring back
those ordinances that would meet the needs of the
City for the Commissions review and recommendation
to the City Council.
C\Li suggested that staff investigate the Parking
Ordinances of the City of Glendale, as well as the
City of Walnut, because Glendale has a similar
terrain. as Diamond Bar and a freeway traversing the
city.
Chair/Meyer noted that parking standards often have
a major impact on the design of the development.
Parking ordinances, in its attempt to accommodate
vehicles, can tend to run the design of the
project. He suggested that incentives be provided
in the development standards to assist developers
in designing projects for the City, and to develop
synergy within centers to reduce the number of
parking spaces required. There needs to be a
mechanism in the development standards to adjust
the number of off-street parking standards and to
provide incentives for adjacent property owners to
motivate them to combine their projects, to provide
a reasonable on site circulation system, and to
solve common problems.
C/Grothe concurred with the statements made by
Chair/Meyer.
Chair/Meyer also noted that in some instances
projects are dropped for lack of one parking space.
He suggested a provision that if a developer comes
close to the parking standard, he is provided two
financial alternatives: either lease an off site
piece of property to maintain parking spaces in
perpetuity to serve his project; or make a
contribution to a "parking acquisition fund" with
the community. This contribution then provides the
community with an incentive to develop public
parking lots.
C/Grothe stated that he would concur to providing
alternatives to the parking standards on
redevelopment projects, but not new projects.
Chair/Meyer suggested that parking standards be
established for single family residential that are
consistent with the type of development. Usually
the market will prevail, but, as a community ages,
there are occurrences in which garages are turned
into habital space, omitting any type of covered
parking.
November 8, 1993 Page 3
Chair/Meyer stated that the provision for handicap
parking in the Ordinance is acceptable. He then
noted many parking ordinances base the number of
parking spaces on the number of employees during
the most dense shift. It may be easier, from a
staff perspective, if the number of spaces were
tied into the gross building area instead. He also
noted that many cities do not allow change of uses
to occur in shopping centers because additional off
street parking may be required. However, he stated
that he feels once a shopping center is built and
approved, any commercial use permitted in that zone
should be allowed to locate in that type of center
and not have to make some paper work parking
adjustment.
C/Flamenbaum suggested that the ordinance include
carpooling. He then questioned the reasoning for
distinguishing between motels and hotels, and for
placing mortuaries under "entertainment". He also
suggested that the parking ordinance address unique
situations dealing with fast food restaurants.
Chair/Meyer stated that, in his judgement, the
r� greatest off street parking ordinance prohibits all
parking on the street, as is done in the City of
Industry. Thus the demand for parking is a
function of the commercial ventures.
C/Grothe suggested that parking stalls behind a
building not be counted in the parking standard to
discourage their installation. Such parking stalls
are rarely utilized. He then suggested that
parking lots be encouraged to be designed with more
than one main entrance and exit, and that they
include landscaping to provide shade and aesthetic
appeal.
Moved by C/Flamenbaum, seconded by C/Li and CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY to direct staff to draft a proposed
ordinance utilizing the comments made by the
Commission, and to bring it back to the Commission
at a later date.
Sign Ordinance Chair/Meyer suggested that the Commission begin
review of the Sign Ordinance included in the staff
report.
C/Flamenbaum suggested that a criteria be developed
that any commercial monument signs under "X" size
(shape and color) be approved administratively,
with the requirement that they be compatible with
the architecture of the surrounding area. He also
suggested that the "Exemption of City Signs" be
deleted, and pointed out that the criteria that
November 8, 1993 Page 4
would apply to the commercial sectors should also
apply to the City. C/Flamenbaum stated that he
feels the Sign Ordinance imposes a particular
hardship upon the community that is not warranted.
C/Grothe concurred there should be some form of
standards on a monument sign that can be approved
administratively.
Chair/Meyer stated the Sign Ordinance could be
condensed and written more clearly. Many of the
factors of measure in the Sign Ordinance are being
violated which could also include the City Monument
Signs located in a median. Controlling signs and
advertisement is important. Staff should have a
clear set of guidelines to measure a product.
Staff should also have the opportunity to bring
disputes to the Planning Commission for
discretionary review if necessary.
C/Flamenbaum noted that the section on prohibited
signs are clear. The section on monument signs
needs to be expanded to include a larger category
that can be handled administratively.
C/Li stated that any sign, other than a monument
sign, should go through the administrative process.
Chair/Meyer reiterated that staff needs a clear set
of standards to implement over the counter.
C/Grothe indicated a six foot height restriction on
monument signs seems appropriate.
C/Li stated the height of a sign should depend upon
the environment and other factors.
C/Flamenbaum noted that staff would have a better
understanding of the topography of the City, and
would be a better judge on the appropriate height
of the sign.
C/Grothe also suggested that any items
unenforceable in this community should be taken out
of the Sign Ordinance.
Moved by C/Flamenbaum, seconded by C/Grothe and
carried unanimously to direct staff to draft a
proposed Sign Ordinance per the Commission's
comments.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: C/Flamenbaum inquired if the Commission should
continue to review the draft EIR for Tentative
Tract No. 51169 given the status of the General
Plan.
November 8, 1993 Page 5
CDD/DeStefano responded that since the project is
currently eligible for process, it is recommended
that the Commissioners review the draft EIR to
provide for discussion on the December 13, 1993
Planning Commission meeting.
C/Flamenbaum requested an update to the Hamburger
Hamlet project.
CDD/DeStefano stated that it would appear Hamburger
Hamlet will not be able to open in 1994 as was
first anticipated. The hearing for their appeal
regarding their alcohol beverage control license
has been scheduled in January of 1994. Hamburger
Hamlet has indicated that they are still committed
to the site and will continue to move forward.
CDD/DeStefano also reported that the remediation
equipment at the former Chevron site, immediately
next door to Hamburger Hamlet, is now operational.
C/Li requested an update on the status of the
General Plan.
CDD/DeStefano stated that the City has received the
order from the judge directing the City Clerk to
begin counting the signatures within the petitions
submitted. The City does have a 30 day window to
analyze the City's options of the judge's decision.
The City is currently processing either under the
General Plan and/or Ordinance No. 4.
CDD/DeStefano then reviewed the Council/Commission
meeting projections as included in the staff
report. He reminded the Planning Commission of the
East San Gabriel Valley Planning Committee Dinner
Meeting scheduled this month in the City of
Claremont. He then reported that, under
administrative development review authority, he
approved a second floor addition to a single family
home located on Rim Lane.
CDD/DeStefano, in response to C/Li's request at the
last meeting, reported that there has been a debate
between residents, CalTrans, the City, and
merchants related to the location and length of a
sound wall on the east side of the 57 freeway. The
sound wall is currently proposed .to start at
Diamond Bar Blvd. to Heritage Park.
C/Li suggested that the City gently encourage
CalTrans to include the sound wall in the area
northbound 57 freeway, on the east side of the 57
freeway, and south of Diamond Bar Blvd. to Silver
Bullet Street. An EIR has already been issued for
that sound wall.

Minutes of
she was absent at that subject meeting.
Nov. 8, 1993

OLD BUSINESS:
AP/Lungu reported that, pursuant to the
Draft PC
Commission's direction, the City of San
Policies and
Bernardino's Planning Commission Handbook was used
Procedures
as a foundation for Diamond Bar's Planning
Commission Policies
Manual
and Procedures Manual. The
manual has been reviewed by DCA/Fox. The following
changes have been recommended by the City
Attorney's office: delete the second, third,
fourth, and fifth paragraph from page 7; add the
wording, "Each Commissioner is appointed by one
member of the City Council. The length and
expiration terms are set by City Council ordinance.
For copies of the ordinance, you need to contact
the City Clerk," to page 7; and rewrite the second
paragraph, on page 15, to read, "The provisions of
the Brown Act may apply to meetings of less than
quorum committees of boards or commissions but not
to social gatherings... 11.
November 22, 1993 Page 2
Chair/Meyer inquired if the Commission had any
recommended changes to the manual.
VC/Plunk suggested that examples of types of "City
Advisory Bodies" be listed on page 4.
DCA/Fox stated that it is not necessary to list the
types of advisory bodies because they are subject
to change on the whim of the City Council. It is
with this reasoning that paragraphs two through
five were deleted from page 7, under Membership.
VC/Plunk suggested that the section on Purpose,
page 5, be expanded upon and perhaps merge with the
Responsibility section.
C/Flamenbaum concurred that the Purpose section
should be expanded, but not by including the
Responsibility section. The Purpose section should
elaborate what the Planning Commission is, which
could be accomplished by citing State law.
The Planning Commission concurred.
VC/Plunk suggested that a Membership section be
included just prior to the Effectiveness section.
She then suggested that the second paragraph, under
Effectiveness, be amended to read, "Effective
commissions prioritize, anticipate, and analyze
problems."; and the first line on the third
paragraph be amended to read "Public hearings or
citizens input meeting maybe difficult..."
The Planning Commission concurred.
VC/Plunk suggested that item 7., on page 7, be
amended to read, "Do not return insults."; and item
12. to rewrite the last sentence to read, "No one
will leave the meeting feeling disenfranchised."
The Planning Commission concurred.
VC/Plunk suggested that the last sentence in the
first paragraph, on page 7, under Membership, which
reads "...;and a willingness to serve as
Chairperson or Vice Chairperson of the Planning
Commission", be deleted. She then suggested that
the word "shall" be replaced by the word "may" in
the first line, under Officers, on page 7.
The Planning Commission concurred.
C/Flamenbaum, referring to the four paragraphs
deleted, on page 7, under Membership, suggested
that a reference to the latest version of the City
November 22, 1993 Page 3
Council Ordinance be included in the manual so that
new members of the commission know where to look
for information regarding their appointment.
The Planning Commission concurred.
VC/Plunk suggested that the attachment of the Brown
Act also be included in the manual.
Chair/Meyer suggested that a page be added in the
Appendix indicating the documents that a new
Planning Commissioner should look for, such as a
copy of the Brown Act.
The Planning Commission concurred.
C/Flamenbaum suggested that a statement be included
on page 7, under Officers, explaining the rules for
reappointment if the Chairperson or Vice
Chairperson should leave mid term, vacating the
office. He suggested the following wording, "In
the event that the position of Chairperson or Vice
Chairperson be vacated during the term, the
Planning Commission may hold another mid term
election to fill the position for the balance of
that regular term."
The Planning Commission concurred.
Chair/Meyer corrected the second line on page 8,
under Quorum, to read "If there are no items of
business..."
C/Flamenbaum suggested that the first paragraph on
page 8, fourth line, under Quorum, be amended to
read "A equal split vote (negative, neutral, or
affirmative)...".
The Planning Commission concurred.
Chair/Meyer suggested that page 9, under Quorum,
item 1, be reworded to state "State the intention
to cancel the meeting at least 72 hours prior to
the cancelled or rescheduled date"; and reword the
last line in item 3 to state, "This person must
stay at least 15 minutes." He suggested that the
last sentence in the first paragraph, under Agendas
for Meetings, on page 9, be amended to read,
"...posted at least 72 hours prior to the regular
meeting". Chair/Meyer then inquired if the second
paragraph, under Agendas for Meetings, page 9, is
worded the way the Commission intended.
VC/Plunk suggested that the paragraph be amended to
read, "A Commissioner may request to place one item
November 22, 1993 Page 4
on the agenda per meeting. The Planning Commission
Secretary will advise as to the placement of an
item on the agenda pertaining to the staff's
workload, cost that may be incumbered by the City,
or urgency of the item."
The Planning Commission concurred.
Chair/Meyer, in regards to the last sentence in the
second paragraph, under Agenda For Meetings, on
page 9, recalled that the Planning Commission had
concurred that there should be three ways to get an
item on the agenda: by the Secretary, the
Chairperson, or a consensus of the Planning
Commission.
Chair/Flamenbaum stated that, to his recollection,
the Planning Commission concurred that any member
should be able to place an item on the agenda.
VC/Plunk stated that, to her recollection of the
discussion, the last sentence should be deleted.
C/Li concurred.
It was the consensus of the Planning Commission to
delete the last sentence reading, "The actual
placement of an item on the agenda for deliberation
and action will require the consensus of the
Planning Commission."
Chair/Meyer suggested that the third paragraph,
under Agendas for Meetings, on page 9, would be
more appropriately placed under the Meetings
section.
The Planning Commission concurred.
C/Flamenbaum stated that, to his recollection, the
Planning Commission could present non-binding
resolutions as recommendations to the City Council,
without having it on the agenda. However, the
manual specifically states that no action or
commitment may be taken on items which are not on
the posted agenda. However, as an official
governmental agency, the Planning Commission has an
obligation to speak on any matters that may be
addressed before the Commission. He suggested that
a statement be included to indicate that the
Planning Commission has the ability to draft non-
binding resolutions making recommendations to the
City Council on matters that have just been brought
to the attention of the Planning Commission and are
not on the agenda.
DCA/Fox explained that the Planning Commission
November 22, 1993 Page 5
cannot take action on a matter not on the agenda
that's within the Commission's jurisdiction as a
discretionary body. However, the Planning
Commission can request staff to communicate
recommendations to the City Council on matters
outside the Commission's jurisdiction. If it is
felt that staff is not communicating those
recommendations, it is unlikely that the Brown Act
would preclude the Planning Commission's ability to
send a letter directly to the City Council. Also,
there is nothing precluding a commissioner of going
before the City Council directly with the Planning
Commission's recommendation. The Commission's
Handbook addresses how a commissioner addresses the
City Council, as either a commissioner or an
individual, with the Planning Commission's
approval.
Chair/Meyer corrected the third paragraph on page
10, last line, to indicate "Commissioners.."; and
the first paragraph, under Motions, last line, to
read "A motion is subject to the following
steps: ... 11.
C/Flamenbaum suggested that Robert's Rules of Order
should be quoted directly to address the
appropriate procedures on Motions.
Chair/Meyer concurred that it would be helpful if
the steps are laid out in linear progression.
DCA/Fox, in regards to the issue brought forth by
C/Flamenbaum regarding instantaneous agendizing,
stated that, as indicated in the Brown Act,
instantaneous agendizing can occur when "Work
stoppage or other activity which severely impairs
public health, safety, or both, as determined by a
majority the members of the legislative body or a
crippling disaster."
Chair/Meyer suggested that the second line under
Planning Commissions Recommendations, on page 12,
be amended to read, "...transmitted to the City
Council by the Secretary for decision..."; and
amend the third paragraph, second line, on page 14,
to read "...be considered " on the record" by the
reporter"
VC/Plunk stated that the first paragraph on page 14
seems redundant.
The Planning Commission concurred, however, to
leave the paragraph in the manual.
Chair/Meyer requested staff to make the appropriate
November 22, 1993
Page 6
corrections to the Manual and bring it back to the
Commission on a future agenda.

CDD/DeStefano reported that, pursuant to the
ITEMS:
Planning Commission's direction, staff has provided
the Commission with a copy of the final draft
Property
Property Maintenance Ordinance for review, and
Maintenance
discussion at the December 13, 1993 Planning
Ordinance
Commission meeting. Staff is in the process of
distributing additional copies to members of the
public who have indicated an interest in the
document, and to the Chamber of Commerce for their
review.
Chair/Meyer suggested that staff be prepared to do
a comparative analysis of the Property Maintenance
Ordinance and Chapter 99 of the LA County Building
Code, which was in place for many years.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: CDD/DeStefano suggested that the Commission
continue reviewing the EIR relating to the
Unionwide project, currently scheduled for
Planning Commission public hearing on December 13,
1993. The Significant Ecological Technical
Advisory Committee (SEATAC) will be meeting
December 3, 1993 to critique the document and will
be provide the Planning Commission with an advisory
report on the issue. He reported that the City
Council's decision to begin counting the signatures
on the referendum petition effectively nullified
the use of the current General Plan document, and
the City has reverted back to the use of Ordinance
No. 4. The Planning Commission will be able to
make a recommendation to the City Council on the
Unionwide project when appropriate, but with no
adopted General Plan, the City Council will not be
able to take any final action on the project.
C/Grothe reported that the East San Gabriel
Planning Commission dinner, held on November 18,
1993, was quite informative.

2. Final Draft Planning Commission Policies and Procedures Manual
Chair/Meyer noted that the Planning Commission received the final draft of the
Planning Commission Policies and Procedures Manual for review, incorporating the
revisions of the Brown Act which will become effective April 1, 1994.
VC/Plunk inquired if ICA/Montgomery had an opportunity to review the document.
ICA/Montgomery stated that he has reviewed the document and finds everything to
be in order.
VC/Plunk then made the following suggestions to amend the Planning Commission
Policies and Procedures Manual: rewrite the second paragraph, on page 6, under
"Effectiveness" to read "Effective Commissions set clear objectives, prioritize tasks,
anticipate and analyze concerns. They listen empathetically, and they diagnose
options to develop a plan of action."; delete the second sentence in the first
paragraph, under "Effectiveness"; add "and goals" to the end of the third sentence in
the first paragraph, under "Effectiveness"; and correct the word "maybe" to "may be"
in the first sentence of the third paragraph.
VC/Plunk then questioned if items 3-6, on page 6, are appropriate.
ICA/Montgomery explained that it is appropriate for the Planning Commission to place
as many sensitivity training goals in the policy as desired, subject to State statute.
VC/Plunk then requested that the last sentence in item 12, on page 7, be corrected

CONTINUED PUBLIC HEAR/NG
3. Zoning Code Amendment No. 93-3 -,Property Maintenance Ordinance
Applicant: City of Diamond Bar
Property Owner: All property within the City limits of Diamond Bar
Chair/Meyer suggested that, following the public hearing, the matter be continued to
a meeting in January of 1994 in order to give the new City Attorney and City Council
sufficient time to properly review the document.
CDD/DeStefano reported that the Planning Commission continued the public hearing
regarding the Property Maintenance Ordinance at the October 11, 1993 meeting in
order to allow for further preparation and revision of the Ordinance.
Chair/Meyer declared the public hearing open and invited those wishing to speak to
come forward.
Mr. Bob Zirbes, President of the Diamond Bar Improvement Association (DBIA),
suggested the following changes to the document: page 16, under "Penalties", should
include a provision for an appeal process; the document should be sensitive to the
needs of financially disadvantaged residents; deleted the statement, "...and a resulting
decline in the property values within the City of Diamond Bar," from "Purpose and
Intent", on page 2, because it cannot be enforced; a boat is a recreational vehicle that
is allowed further in the document and should therefore be stricken from section
22.54.030 A, on page 4; delete the entire section 22.54.040 B on page 4; deleted
"sagging roof" from section 22.54.060 A, on page 5; amend section 22.54.060 B,
on page 5, to read, "Substantial areas of visible deteriorated..."; section 22.54.060
D, on page 5, is a Health and Safety issue and should be removed; items 22.54.060
E, F, and G, on page 5, are covered under Building and Safety Codes and should be
removed; the suggestions made should also be applied to multi -family standards, etc.,
as well; and the statement "commercial purposes" in section 22.54.050 B, on page
5, should may more explicit because there may be confusion among those owning
pick up trucks, or vehicles that have a high gross vehicle weight.
CDD/DeStefano explained that the Enforcement/Abatement Procedures is not
specifically a part of this draft because it is the Planning Commission's responsibility
to establish the standards and recommend policy for those standards, and the purview
of the City Council to deal with specific issues of enforcement and the abatement
procedures.
Chair/Meyer expressed his concern that the Planning Commission is being asked to
piece -meal their review of the Ordinance. He stated that even though the penalty
phase is not within the jurisdiction of the Planning Commission, the Planning
Commission should be made fully aware of any punitive measures that go along with
the Ordinance. He requested that the penalty phase be included with the next draft
Ordinance to be presented to the Commission.
Planting Commission Minutes - December 13, 1993 Page 3 of 12
C/Grothe stated that if the penalty phase cannot be presented to the Planning
Commission for review, then the "Penalty" section should be omitted from the
Ordinance.
Mr. Oscar Law, residing at 20511 Pathfinder, concurred with the suggestions made
by Mr. Zirbes. He questioned why such items as broken toilets, leaking roofs were
not deleted from the draft Ordinance as was requested at the last public hearing.
Mr. Don Schad, a resident, also supported the comments made by Mr. Zirbes. He
made the following comments: section 22.54.060 A -G fall under the purview of the
Building and Safety Department; and the "Penalty" section should include a provision
to allow those financially disadvantaged an appeal process.
Mr. Don Fisher, residing at 465 Burgante Drive, referring to section 22.54.050 B, on
page 5, noted that the Stated considers any vehicle with a commercial plate to be of
a commercial use in California. He also noted that the Walnut Recreational parking
area for motor vehicles is all gravel, not paved, which is contrary to section 22.54.260
"Motor Vehicle Parking", on page 13.
Mr. John Okel, residing on Burgante Drive, expressed his support with the intent of
the Ordinance, but emphasized that a person in violation should not be placed in jail,
nor should it be suggested.
Mr. Frank Dursa, a resident, expressed his support that the Ordinance was amended
to allow recreational vehicles to be parked in the driveway.
Chair/Meyer stated that staff has been directed to do a comparative analysis of
Chapter 99 of the Los Angeles County Building Code, which dealt with property
maintenance standards for the City, and the proposed Property Maintenance
Ordinance.
Red Calkins, a resident, expressed his dissatisfaction with the Code Enforcement
Officer.
Mr. Don Gravdahl, a resident, suggested that section 22.54.050 B, on page 5, be
amended to define "commercial" by the gross weight of the vehicle when fully
encumbered. He then suggested that the proposed Ordinance indicate specifically
how much of the frontage of a house can be a paved surface.
Mr. Max Maxwell, a resident, inquired if the proposed Ordinance affects existing
CC&R's.
Chair/Meyer explained that CC&R's are separate documents created under the terms
of the subdivision and are enforced by the Homeowners Association, not by
municipalities. The proposed Property Maintenance Ordinance would not impact the
CC&R's.
Pienndng Commission Minutes - December 13, 1993 Pege 4 of 12
Mr. Richard Murietta, a resident, inquired if the proposed Ordinance would apply to
problems associated with Fraternity Houses, such as those operating on his street.
Chair/Meyer suggested that Mr. Murietta contact staff for assistance in addressing
those problems.
Mr. Don Fisher, a resident, concurred that Fraternity Houses, specifically at 310
Ballena Drive, have been a problem for some time.
There being no one wishing to provide further comment, Chair/Meyer returned the
matter back to the Commission for consideration.
C/Flamenbaum made the following comments: driveways should be covered under
the Development Code; the document needs to specifically define front yard, side
yard, etc., for enforcement purposes; section 22.54.050 B, on page 5, is poorly
written and does not specify any time durations; leaky roofs, bad drainage, etc., fall
under the Building and Safety Codes; and the Planning Commission had directed staff
to include language that the City could place a lien on the property in order to get
reimbursed if the City did any repair work following the appeal process.
C/Flamenbaum then stated that he would not give consideration to the proposed
ordinance unless it included an Enforcement/Abatement provision.
C/Grothe made the following comments: omit section 22.54.060, on page 5, from
the document, except the first paragraph; delete the statement "free of weeds" from
section 22.54.070, on page 6, second line; rewrite item 2 from section 22.54.080,
on page 6, to be less restrictive; and section 22.54.030 B, on page 4, should allow
for at least two weekends to do repairs.
Chair/Meyer, referring to section 22.54.030 B, pointed out that, with an appeal
process included in the proposed Ordinance, an individual would have an opportunity
to demonstrate why that specific time period was inappropriate.
The Planning Commission concurred that 10 consecutive days was a reasonable time
frame to accomplish repairs, as indicated in section 22.54.030 B.
VC/Plunk suggested that ICA/Montgomery meet with the Property Maintenance
Ordinance subcommittee to review the document. She stated that it was her
impression that some of the examples given in the different sections were included for
enforcement purposes. She inquired if it was the opinion of ICA/Montgomery that
some of the items in the document should be separated from the Development
Standards. She also questioned if including definitions in the document was
redundant and/or could have the potential to contradict the intent of the proposed
Ordinance. VC/Plunk then suggested that the document be reviewed by the Planning
Commission one year after its adoption to determine its effectiveness.
Chair/Meyer reiterated his request for a comparative analysis, in graph format, of the
enforcement provisions of Chapter 99 of the Building Code and the proposed Property
Planting Commission Minutes - December 73, 1993 Page 5 of 12
Maintenance Ordinance. He suggested that the proposed Property Maintenance
Ordinance include the definitions of "blighting conditions" as clearly defined in the
Health and Safety Code. Chair/Meyer then reiterated his request that the penalty
phase be included for the Planning Commission's review.
Chair/Meyer, in response to VC/Plunk's request to send the document back to the
subcommittee, stated that the subcommittee has completed their review and the
document is now before the Planning Commission for consideration.
Moved by C/Flamenbaum, seconded by C/Grothe and carried unanimously to continue
the matter to the meeting of January 24, 1994, and to direct staff to incorporate the
statements made by the Commission this evening into the proposed Property
Maintenance Ordinance.
VC/Plunk requested the revised document be included in the Commission's packet, for
the meeting of January 10, 1994, if possible.
PUBLIC HEARING
4. Conditional Use Permit No. 93-7 - A Request to Install a Temporary Unmanned Cellular
Communication Facility at a Site Adjacent to the 57 Freeway in an Existing
Commercial Development
Applicant: L.A. Cellular
Property Owner: Rinehart Management Company
PT/Lungu reported that L.A. Cellular is requesting approval to locate and operate a 75
foot monopole and an unmanned repeater station for a period not to exceed six
months within an existing commercial development. The project was initiated as a
result of the removal of an unmanned repeater station and monopole from the
Diamond Bar High School campus. She stated that the applicant is currently involved
in negotiations with the school district to locate the use, once again, at the school;
however, in the interim, the applicant is seeking to re-establish service to the
community and public safety agencies until a permanent location can be secured.
PT/Lungu then noted that the staff report, which indicates that the power source for
the equipment is a utility generator, is incorrect, and that the power source will be
electricity to the site. It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve
Conditional Use Permit No. 93-7 with the Findings of Fact and listed conditions.
C/Flamenbaum inquired why the applicant is being required to slurry seal and restripe
the parking lot when the request is only for a six month use.
CDD/DeStefano explained that since a CUP is a discretionary permit, the Planning
Commission and staff have the opportunity to review the entire parcel in its
consideration. He stated that staff has recommended that the applicant be requested
to provide the much needed improvements to the parking lot at the same time the
permit is being requested.
Planning Commission Minutes - December 13, 1993 Page 6 of 12
Chair/Meyer declared the public hearing opened.
ICA/Montgomery noted that, because of the present status of the General Plan, there
is a question if discretionary land use permits can be granted at this time. He stated
that, though the request is only for six month and the applicant is a utility, a land use
permit invalidly granted is always subject to challenge. He inquired if the applicant
would be willing to waive recourse for any conditions imposed if it turns out that the
authority to grant those conditions were invalid because of any technicality.
Ms. Linda Paul, an employee of L.A. Cellular located in Cerritos, stated that L.A.
Cellular is more than willing to cooperate with the City, and adhere to any condition
that would indemnify the City for any improvements incurred by the applicant if a
technicality was determined in the future after receiving the permit being requested.
Ms. Paul then made the following corrections to the staff report: L.A. Cellular has
provided service at Diamond Bar High School since approximately 1986; and the
antennas proposed for the site are sectorized, which would not exceed 75 feet by
more than six inches.
In response to a series of Planning Commission inquiries, Ms. Paul made the following
responses: there is no intent of having the pole at that location longer than 6 months,
an alternate site is being actively pursued; a condition limiting the number of
extensions granted to 1 or 2 times is acceptable; there is no intent to use the
microwave being requested as an option; microwave is used in the event of a disaster;
sectorized antennas will most likely be used, however, the option to use a whip
antenna is desired; an extension of 6 months is desired; cellular does not cause
interference with radio or television reception, but, any complaints received either
through the City or directly would be corrected within 5 working days; the condition
to slurry seal and restripe the parking lot is acceptable; the broad cast power ranges
from 5-30 watts, and as high as 100 watts per channel; 32 channels are anticipated,
which would operate sporadically and very rarely simultaneously; and the microwave
dish would broadcast at a 1/2 watt.
Ms. Paul then stated that the lack of cellular service along the 57 freeway has caused
much consternation among public service agencies because it affects the response
time. She pointed out that cellular service is very important to the public's health and
safety.
Chair/Meyer invited those wishing to speak to come forward.
Mr. Oscar Law expressed his concern that the applicant is requesting to install a
temporary unmanned cellular communication facility in an area that is extremely
parking sensitive, and could be greatly impacted if the monopole fell in the event of
a natural disaster.
Mr. Don Schad suggested that the CUP include a time frame for the removal of the
transmission tower after the 6 months or any extended time frame. He then noted
that because of the hilly terrain in the area, it is probable that 2 microwave dishes
Planning Commission Minutes - December 73, 7993 Page 7 of 12
would be needed to transmit in two directions.
There being no one wishing to provide further comment, Chair/Meyer declared the
public hearing closed.
Ms. Paul, in response to the comments made, stated that parking will not be impacted
in any way since the unmanned facility is not in the paved parking area, and there will
be no employees on hand. She stated that building permits are obtained from the
Building and Safety Department to ensure the pole is installed in a safe manner. She
then indicated their willingness to work with staff regarding a timeframe for the
removal. of the pole.
Ms. Paul, in response to C/Flamenbaum, stated that there would only be one
microwave dish, and that the diameter of the service would be approximately three
miles.
In response to a series of inquiries made by Chair/Meyer, Ms. Paul stated the
following: removal of the facility would take a few days; because there were some
technicalities regarding existing permitting, L.A. Cellular decided that, rather than be
in possible violation with the Public Utilities Commission, it would be more appropriate
to remove from the Walnut School District site and begin the process of permitting
once again; though providers of the same service can locate within 20 to 30 feet of
each other, they cannot locate on the same pole because the frequencies used are so
similar that interference would be created; L.A. Cellular would like to permanently
locate at the School District at the end of the 6 month period; and the facility is
typically a prefabricated State approved shelter with a concrete aggregate finish that
will be painted any color desired by the City.
Chair/Meyer noted that there was discussion in the General Plan to consider the 57
freeway as a scenic view corridor. He then inquired if the piece of property is an
underground utility district. He also inquired if a design review is needed for facilities
on commercial property.
CDD/DeStefano explained that the discussion involving the 57 as a scenic view
corridor indicated that any development in the area should reflect that scenic nature
in terms of preservation. He stated that it has not been determined if the property is
an underground utility district, but any new development would be required to put in
underground utilities, and, if feasible in terms of provision of service and fixtures,
existing facilities would be placed underground. He then explained that design
reviews are typically done for permanent facilities over a specific size; however, since
this monopole is temporary, and the zoning code does not address temporary
installations, a CUP process was utilized.
Chair/Meyer expressed concern that the CUP process, which is typically reserved for
more permanent land use entitlement, is being used to allow for this temporary use
application.
P/enn9n9 Commission Minutes - December 13, 7993 Pege 8 of 12
ICA/Montgomery suggested that the Planning Commission consider a short term
franchise agreement under Utility Code 6264, which is an exception to the provision
that would allow a six month franchise to operate the facility at that location without
obtaining any zoning or location rights.
Chair/Meyer suggested the Planning Commission consider adding the following
conditions: require a cash bond or adequate surety that the facility will be removed;
include a time frame for removal of the facility after proper notification be included;
and require 5 working days to service problems generated from the facility.
VC/Plunk inquired if the applicant would be willing to waive the antenna whip.
Mr. Royce Cassort, the Construction Manager for L.A. Cellular, explained that they
have requested the option of using either the whip or directional antennas because it
is uncertain if the directional antennas will perform as needed. It would be acceptable
if it were conditioned as "either/or" because both equipment would not be used. He
stated that Southern California Edison has indicated that they have the option of
setting a temporary 20 foot power pole rather than disturbing the landscaping to go
underground. He also stated that the microwave dish is not needed since they are
able to get telephone service from the building next door.
Moved by C/Grothe, seconded by VC/Plunk and carried unanimously to approve the
CUP temporary franchise agreement with the following modifications: amending line
four of the title of the Planning Commission Resolution to read "An application to
install a temporary franchise for an unmanned cellular."; delete Finding of Fact (e) on
page 3 and insert the sentence "The City is operating without a General Plan,
therefore the Commission has reviewed the project as a short term utility franchise in
conformance with the California Public Utility Code Section No. 6264"; change
condition (g) on page 4 to indicate that the repair would be within 5 working days of
notification; add condition (1) to read "The pole must be removed within 5 working
days and the applicant shall post a cash bond to secure removal in a bond amount to
be determined by the City."; change condition (c) to indicate that no more than one
six month extension of this grant may be requested; and add a condition to exclude
the microwave dish.

92-3, Oak Tree Permit No. 92-3, and Environmental Impact Report No. 92-2
Applicant: Unionwide, Inc.
Planning Commission Minures - December 13, 1993 Page 9 of 12
Property Owner: Unionwide, Inc.
CDD/DeStefano reported that the proposed project is located within Significant
Ecological Area (SEA) No. 15 and has been determined by the City to require an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to analyze the project's impacts and appropriate
mitigation measures for those specific impacts. The DEIR review period is scheduled
to close on December 15, 1993. He stated that a Significant Ecological Area
Technical Advisory Committee (SEATAC) is in the process of reviewing the project,
and will provide the Planning Commission with a report regarding their review of the
biota aspects of the DEIR. CDD/DeStefano then stated that since the City is presently
operating without a General Plan, review of the DEIR, as anticipated, cannot occur.
ICA/Montgomery stated that he had a preliminary discussion with the applicant
regarding the issue of the lack of a General Plan. Since the Mayor has indicated a
desire to adopt a new General Plan within 90 days, ICA/Montgomery asked the
applicant if they would be agreeable to continue the matter for 90 days, without
prejudice to any time limits that may be under consideration. He stated that the
applicant can make a presentation if they so desire; however, since the present
General Plan has been suspended by virtue of the filing of the referendum petitions,
a decision cannot be made this evening by this body.
Lex Williman, the Planning Director for Hunsaker and Associates, 10179 Hunikans,
San Diego, representing the applicant, stated that the applicant will acquiesce to
continuance, without waiving any rights regarding the hearings, or the vesting map
associated with the existing General Plan as originally approved.
Upon the recommendation of ICA/Montgomery, the Planning Commission concurred
with the applicant's agreement to a continuance, until such time as the General Plan
is adopted, upon the condition that the agreement does not constitute a waiver of any
rights.
Chair/Meyer declared the public hearing open, and invited those wishing to speak to
come forward.
Mr. Max Maxwell requested clarification of the applicants reference to the General
Plan.
Chair/Meyer explained that the applicant has indicated a concern that there may be
some legal rights associated with the vesting tentative map.
Mr. Don Schad pointed out that originally GPAC recommended 1 DU/2.5 acres for that
area. He offered to submit his comments regarding the DEIR; however, upon being
advised by ICA/Montgomery that since he may be considered as a candidate for
Planning Commissioner in the near future, he may want to consider that any testimony
presented may foreclose him from voting on the application when it comes before the
Planning Commission, Mr. Schad chose to offer no further comment.
Planning Commission Minutes - December 13, 1993 Page 10 of 12
CDD/DeStefano recommended that the matter be continued to the meeting of March
28, 1994.
Moved by C/Flamenbaum and seconded by Chair/Meyer to continue the matter to the

ANNOUNCEMENTS
CDD/DeStefano reported that the City staff has filed a response to the City of
Industry's Notice of Preparation opposing the site for the proposed Reduction
Recycling Element and the Material Recovery Facility.
COMM/SS/ON COMMENTS
C/Flamenbaum stated that he received notice from the City of Brea that an DEIR has
been prepared concerning the Olinda Heights project which borders Tonner Canyon.
VC/Plunk expressed her opinion that the City needs to move away from "pro growth
vs. no growth" and encourage the intelligent use of resources. She welcomed
ICA/Montgomery. She then inquired of the anticipated process to revise the General
Plan.
Chair/Meyer noted that, even though a Planning Commission meeting is scheduled for
December 27, 1993, no items have been placed on the agenda for that meeting. He
then stated that the City Council will be considering, at its December 14, 1993
meeting, a resolution repealing the existing General Plan and appointing a citizens
advisory committee, consisting of members of the City Council, City Commissions,
business community, citizen's group, and community residents, to facilitate
preparation of the 1994 General Plan. Chair/Meyer volunteered to serve on the
committee and bring information back to the Planning Commission. He then
welcomed ICA/Montgomery.
ICA/Montgomery, in response to VC/Plunk, reviewed the procedures for the Planning
Commission to follow to receive a legal response on any concern, legal inquiries, or
planning matters. He explained that the intent of the procedures, which now require
meetings to be held at City Hall with the presence of two Commissioners and the City
Planner, are to establish a spirit of openness as well as to cut down on the costs of
legal fees.

concern from a resident regarding parking of
signs on south
vehicles in the restricted area on the south side
side of
of Fountain Springs Road west of Diamond Bar
Fountain
Boulevard. This item is before the Commission
Springs Road
pursuant to the City Council's direction to assess
west of Diamond
the subject area. It is staff's recommendation
Bar Blvd.
that the signs remain as requested, and that the
Commission request the Sheriff's to enforce the "No
Parking, 12-6:00 p.m., Monday -Friday, Except By
Permit" signs located on the south side of Fountain
Springs Road west of Diamond Bar Boulevard.
Sgt. Rawlings stated that, upon hearing of a
potential parking problem in the area, he has
requested that the community service officer check
the area at least once a day and issue citations
for violations.
Motion was made by Chair/Chavers, seconded by C/Ury
and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to adopt ' staff's
recommendation to request the Sheriff's to enforce

Except By Permit" signs located on the south side
of Fountain Springs Road west of Diamond Bar
Boulevard.
Reevaluation
AA/Aberra reported that the Commission has
of intersections
requested staff to reevaluate street intersections
served by
currently served by crossing guards during the
crossing guards
1992-93 school year. Staff will be conducting the
study around mid September, after the school year
begins. It is recommended that the Commission
receive and file staff's report, with the
understanding that the matter will be brought back
after the warrant study has been completed. It is
further recommended that, following the completion
of the study, should the Commission desires to
recommend to the City Council to discontinue any
service, such action be done at Christmas break
following proper notification to the respective
School District, the affected schools, parents, and
faculty.
Chair/Chavers suggested that the respective School
District, the affected schools, parents, and
faculty be notified prior to City Council's
adoption of any recommendation to discontinue
service. Following the warrant study, a public
hearing should be held to discuss possible removal
of the crossing guard service. Christmas break may
be too early of a time period to discontinue any
crossing guard service.
SE/Liu reported that it is staff's intent to
conduct the warrant study mid September of 1993,
and to notify the respective School District, the
affected school, parents, and faculty before the
matter is brought back to the Commission in
October.
C/Beke concurred with Chair/Chavers that the
warrant analysis of the crossing guard services
should be brought to the Commission by the October,
1993 meeting, before any notification to the public
has been made. The Commission will then determine
which intersections will be subject to review, thus
requiring public input.
The Commission concurred to receive and file
staff's report. Staff is to present the warrant
study report at the October 14, 1993 meeting as a
discussion item on the agenda.
SE/Liu informed the Commission that staff will be
recommending to the City Council at their -meeting
of August 17, 1993, the award of crossing guard

on northbound C/Cheng is present to provide feedback.
Diamond Bar Blvd.
at Pathfinder Rd. Motion was made by Chair/Chavers, seconded by
C/Beke and CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to direct staff to
review available data, reviewing CalTrans left turn
phasing warrants collected as part of the General
Plan's Circulation Element, to determine if this
left turn signal is close to warrant, and to bring
back that information at the next meeting.
NEW BUSINESS:
Install "No Right
SE/Liu presented the staff report regarding the
Turn on Red" sign
request received by the Public Work Department to
on Copley Drive
at Golden
install a "No Right Turn on Red" sign on Copley
Springs Dr.
Drive at Golden Springs Drive. Following
investigation, has
staff determined that potential
visibility restriction could be reduced by trimming
shrubbery located on the southerly side of Golden
Springs Drive, west of Copley Drive. Therefore, it
is staff's recommendation that the Commission deny
the request to install a "No Right Turn on Red"
sign on Copley Drive at Golden Springs Drive, and
to concur with the trimming of shrubbery located on
the southerly side of Golden Springs Drive west of
Copley Drive.
Chair/Chavers, noting that the subject intersection
holds green for Golden Springs Drive for a long
period of time, suggested that the side street
actuation come up more quickly, similar to Long
View Drive at Grand Avenue, as well as trim the
shrubbery.
C/Beke pointed out that such an action would stop
the traffic at Golden Springs more often than
necessary for the benefit of one or two cars on
Copley Drive.
Chair/Chavers stated that a delay on the call can
be put for the right turn on red. Delaying the
traffic on Golden Springs Drive to allow a left
turn on Copley Drive is not a concern.
C/Ury pointed out that another problem with
egressing at that intersection is the excessive
speed traveled by motorists on Golden Springs
Drive.
August 12, 1993 Page 4
Motion was made by C/Beke, seconded by C/Ury and
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to accept staff's
recommendation to deny the "No Right Turn on Red"
sign at Copley Drive and Golden Springs Drive, and
ask staff to work with the County to investigate
the timing to better facilitate egress out of the
Gateway Corporate Center.
Reorganization Motion was made by C/Ury, seconded by C/Beke and
of the TTC CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to table the matter to the next
meeting to allow for a full Commission.
ITEMS FROM
STAFF:
Status of
SE/Liu informed the Commission that the City
Pantera Park
Council, on July 6, 1993, approved the award of
design plan
architectural design services to RJM Design Group
for the development of Pantera Park plans and
specifications. The design is scheduled to be
completed by the end of the year. The Pantera Park
site has 15.5 developedable acres and 7.5 hillside
acres that will remain in their natural state. The
phased development is conceptually planned to
include a turfed park site with two adult -sized
lighted ball diamonds, two lighted regulation
soccer fields, restrooms, parking lot and tot -lot,
as well as three lighted tennis courts and
basketball court. The City is tentatively planning
on having the park opened by the spring of 1995.
Status of
SE/Liu reported that the Pomona Unified School
access road to
District (PUSD) recently took possession of the
Diamond Ranch
property in the northeastern portion of Tres
High School
Hermanos Ranch for the construction of Diamond
Ranch High School. The City is continuing to
explore the various options available to fund
construction of a westerly access to that High
School site. The secondary access was indicated by
the California Department of Education to the PUSD
to ensure an acceptable level of safety related to
traffic flow and emergency evacuation.
Status of CTS
AA/Aberra reported that the Public Works Department
and Foothill
is in contact with the Commuter Transportation
Booth at Ranch
Services (CTS) and Foothill to be present at the
Festival
Ranch Festival to provide information and respond
to any question regarding transportation.
ITEMS FROM
C/Beke requested staff to investigate if signal
COMMISSIONERS:
timing of the intersection of Golden Springs Drive
and Brea Canyon Road is operating correctly. He
noted that the heavy traffic move from eastbound
Golden Springs Drive to northbound Brea Canyon Road
August 12, 1993 Page 5
is running on full traffic actuation. As soon as
there is a gap in traffic, the arrow is gone, then
there is a long wait for the eastbound green and
the north -south green, which appear to be running
on recall and penalizes the heavy move on the full
traffic actuated light.
SE/Liu, in response to Chair/Chavers, reported that
there are five intersections budgeted for traffic
signals for this fiscal year, three of which are on
Golden Springs Drive and two on Diamond Bar
Boulevard. Staff will bring back information with
the exact locations.
ADJOURNMENT: Motion was made by C/Beke, seconded by C/Ury and

MINUTES OF THE TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
SEPTEMBER 9, 1993
CALL TO ORDER: Chairman Chavers called the meeting to order at 6:35 p.m. at the
South Coast Air Quality Management District Room, 21865 East
Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, California.
PLEDGE OF The audience was led in the Pledge of Allegiance by Commissioner
ALLEGIANCE: Cheng.
ROLL CALL: Commissioners: Ury, Beke, Cheng, Vice Chairman Gravdahl, and
Chairman Chavers.
Also present were Senior Engineer David Liu, Administrative Analyst
Tseday Aberra, and Contract Recording Secretary Liz Myers.
MINUTES: VC/Gravdahl and C/Cheng stated that they will be abstaining from
voting upon the Minutes of August 12, 1993 because they were
Aug. 12, 1993 absent at that subject meeting.
C/Beke requested that the Minutes be amended on page 2, second
paragraph to add, "...should be held to discuss possible removal of'.
Motion was made by C/Ury, seconded by C/Beke and CARRIED to
approve the Minutes of August 12, 1993, as amended. C/Cheng
and VC/Gravdahl abstained.
COMMISSION C/Ury, noting an article in the August 25, 1993 Tribune, stated that
COMMENTS: the Los Angeles County is contributing $280,000 to help pay for a
traffic signal synchronization project along Grand Ave.
VC/Gravdahl noted that the red light on the traffic signal on
northbound Diamond Bar Blvd. at K -Mart (on the right hand side) is
not working. The red light on the traffic signal on Ballena Dr. and
Golden Springs Dr. is also not working. VC/Gravdahl then reported
that the City of Industry has sent out a Notice of Preparation on an
EIR for the Material Recovery Facility. At their meeting of September
1, 1993, it was implied that the trucks traveling eastbound off of the
60 freeway would come from Golden Springs Dr. and loop back on
to Brea Canyon Road. Also, it was intimated that trash may also be
received from Western Waste in Riverside County, traveling on
Grand Avenue.
C/Beke, referring to an article in the Windmill regarding the safety of
crosswalks, stated that a study conducted by other cities concluded
that painted crosswalks are generally the scene of more accidents
per pedestrian crossing than unpainted crosswalks because it
creates a false sense of security. C/Beke then noted that the 60
freeway ramps eastbound to Golden Springs Dr. appear to be
September 9, 1993 Page 2
running on recall, as is the signal timing at Golden Springs Dr. and
Brea Canyon Rd. The situation seems to be deteriorating rather
than improving.
SE/Liu stated that staff is currently investigating the situation.
C/Cheng stated that the left -turn arrow on southbound Diamond Bar
Blvd. (before Gentle Springs Ln.) to go east on the 60 freeway is not
aligned with the proper lane.
P U B L I C Ken Anderson, residing at 2628 Rising Star, regarding the issue of
COMMENTS: parking enforcement on Fountain Springs Rd. and the accident
history on Fountain Springs Rd. and Diamond Bar Blvd., stated that
the Sheriff Department and the City has indicated that there is no
way to record a non injury accident .if the parties involved don't
report it. He informed the Commission that he observed a rear end
collision on August 2, 1993 at the intersection of Fountain Springs
Rd. and northbound Diamond Bar Boulevard.
SE/Liu reported that a traffic signal at Fountain Springs Rd. and
Diamond Bar Blvd. is currently under design.
OLD BUSINESS:
E
Feasibility of SE/Liu presented the staff report regarding the inquiry made by
a left -tum C/Cheng of the feasibility of including a left -turn signal phase on
signal phase northbound Diamond Bar Blvd. at Pathfinder Road. Staff has
on northbound included information pertaining to CalTrans' guidelines for left -tum
DB Blvd. at phases and available data for the Pathfinder Road/Diamond Bar
Pathfinder Rd. Boulevard intersection in the staff report. At this time, only through -
movement traffic volume counts are available for said intersection.
It is recommended that the Traffic and Transportation Commission
direct staff as necessary.
C/Cheng explained that she has received many complaints that
northbound Diamond Bar Blvd. at Pathfinder Rd. needs a left turn
signal phase, particularly in the morning peak hours because of the
heavy traffic.
Chair/Chavers stated that there is probably a need to put a hose
(counter) across both approaches to verify the peak hours for the
left turn and south bound through movement to determine if there
is a need for either exclusive phasing or the protected -permissive on
Diamond Bar Boulevard at Pathfinder Road. At this point, there is
not sufficient data to give the appropriate direction.
C/Cheng noted that the situation may improve after the installation

Motion was made by Chair/Chavers, seconded by C/Ury and
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY to direct staff to collect the appropriate
traffic volume to determine the traffic volume warrant status at the
subject location, to be brought back to the Commission as soon as
it is collected.
AA/Aberra stated that staff would request direction from the
Commission as to the reorganization of the Chairman and Vice
Chairman position.
C/Beke suggested that it may be more appropriate if the
Commission postponed reorganization of the Commission following
the November, 1993 City Council election.
Motion was made by C/Ury and seconded by C/Beke to table the
matter until the November Traffic and Transportation meeting.

signs: Pathfinder elimination of the current "2 -Hour Parking, 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m."
Road between SR signs when the Pathfinder Road Bridge Widening Project is
57 off -ramp & completed. The Rinehart Management Company feels the
Brea Canyon Rd elimination of the parking spaces on Pathfinder Road will in some
way cause hardship to the businesses. It is recommended that the
Commission deny the request for 112 -Hour Parking, 7:00 a.m. - 6:00
p.m." signs to remain as currently posted and recommend to the
City Council the installation of "No Stopping Anytime" signs on the
south side of Pathfinder Road, between SR 57 off -ramp and Brea
Canyon Road.
-)epiemoer 9, 1993 Page 4
C/Beke noted that the striping plan furnished by the County does
not indicate if there will be parking or no parking. Since diagonal
parking would not be permitted, the present 12 spaces would
convert to 6 or 7 spaces for parallel parking, if parking is allowed.
Since the striping plans proposed neither preclude nor provide for
parallel parking, why not allow parking.
Chair/Chavers opened the meeting for public testimony.
Patricia Hernandez, a State Farm Insurance agent and a tenant in
the subject building, correcting the staff report, stated that there are
36 units in the building with 108 employees in the building. There
are approximately 35 parking spaces for the building. If a few
parking spaces could be maintained, it would help the situation.
Carol Rinehart, owner of Canyon View Offices and Rinehart
Management Company, requested that the Commission consider
allowing some parallel parking spaces in front of the building.
Vacancies have increased in the last few years because of the
recession. The elimination of parking in front of the building will
create difficulty for the small businesses.
Terry Rinehart, owner of Canyon View Offices and Rinehart
Management Company, stated that ICE/Wentz, after viewing the area
in February of 1993, had indicated that there probably would not be
a problem with maintaining some parallel parking in front of the
building. At this point, there is already a shortage of parking for the
building and in the area. It is very important for the tenants facing
Pathfinder Rd. to have parking for their customers and employees.
SE/Liu, in response to C/Beke's inquiry, explained that staff, working
with Warren Siecke, the Traffic consultant, felt that there was a
concern for safety and that the subject arterial should have a
minimum sight distance of 400 feet from the midpoint of the first
driveway.
C/Beke stated that visibility for motorists in a car parked in one of
the parallel spaces appears to be unlimited.
Chair/Chavers concurred with C/Beke that there does not appear to
be any sight distance problem looking from a parallel parked car to
the west across the bridge and west of Pathfinder Rd. The only
possible conflict might be visibility of those motorists coming to the
off ramp and turning right on green.
SE/Liu stated that staff is comparing existing conditions to the
proposed roadway after the bridge widens. The eastbound traffic
September 9, 1993 Page 5
will be about 30 feet closer to the south curb than before, creating
a potential problem at a later date.
Chair/Chavers pointed out the importance of making sure that traffic
on Pathfinder Rd. flows freely. There's a need to maintain a clear
zone of about 40 feet on the south side of Pathfinder Road east of
the SR 57 off -ramp. During the middle of the day traffic would
probably not be a problem, but not after 4:00 p.m. because of the
increase in traffic. Furthermore, the striping plan should indicate a
right -turn lane on eastbound Pathfinder Rd. at Brea Canyon Road,
striping it very similar to the right -turn lane on the other side of
Pathfinder Rd. as it enters the freeway on ramp, making it a right
turn or an emergency bay. He suggested that parking be permitted,
as indicated, with a 2 -hour limit between 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m..
C/Ury concurred.
VC/Gravdahl suggested that staff be directed to investigate the
situation and determine how many spaces would be allowed in the
subject area, restricting parking to 2 hours between 8:00 a.m. to
4:00 p.m., taking into consideration the sight clearance getting off
the freeway, and into the first driveway.
SE/Liu stated that CalTrans would require that there be no parking
activity 20 feet from the end of that curb return. Additionally, a
minimum of 30 -foot "No Parking" zone should be created from that
first driveway.
Chair/Chavers suggested that staff develop a plan for 5 parallel
spaces, leaving a 40 -foot clear zone at the west end.
Motion was made by C/Ury and seconded by C/Beke to direct staff
to develop a plan with 5 parallel spaces, permitting parking for 2
hours only between 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., monitoring the situation,
and to include the eastbound right -tum pocket for Pathfinder Rd. to
go south on to Brea Canyon Road.

ITEMS FROM C/Ury and VC/Gravdahl indicated that they would like to attend the
COMMISSIONERS: Workshop by City Traffic Engineers Association, scheduled for
October 30, 1993.
ITEMS FROM SE/Liu reported that the City has installed one of the City's Entrance
STAFF: Signs on Diamond Bar Boulevard south of Temple Avenue. Four
more signs will be installed, one at Diamond Bar Blvd. north of Brea
Canyon Road, one at Grand Avenue west of Long Yew Drive,
another at Grand Avenue east of the 57 freeway, and one at Golden
Springs Drive near the westerly City limit.
SE/Liu confirmed that the landscape work along the northerly side
of Grand Ave. between the Country entrance and Rolling Knoll Road
is part of the guard rail project, which had been delayed due to the
relocation of the irrigation line. The guard rail will be constructed
starting from where the sidewalk ends near Rolling Knoll Road and
go easterly about 2,000 feet towards Summit Ridge Drive. The City
is currently contemplating concrete bollards for that portion of the
sidewalk that will not have guard rails.

OCTOBER 14, 1993
CALL TO ORDER: Chairman Chavers called the meeting to order at 6:36 p.m. at
the South Coast Air Quality Management District Hearing
Room, 21865 East Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, California.
PLEDGE OF The audience was led in the Pledge of Allegiance by
ALLEGIANCE: Commissioner Ury.

Chairman Chavers.
Also present were Senior Engineer David Liu, Administrative
Analyst Tseday Aberra, Sergeant Rawlings, and Contract
Recording Secretary Liz Myers.
MINUTES:
Sept. 9, 1993 Motion was made by C/Ury and seconded by VC/Gravdahl to
approve the Minutes of September 9, 1993 as presented.
COMMISSION VC/Gravdahl suggested that the meeting be adjourned in
COMMENTS: memory of Mr. John Beke. The Commission concurred.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Deborah Reneger, residing at 1386 Rolling Knoll Road, inquired
if Mountain Laurel Way at Diamond Bar Boulevard could be
striped with left turn lanes to ease the traffic flow.
Chair/Chavers requested staff to investigate the
appropriateness of striping Mountain Laurel Way, and to
determine which striping method is best, a shared through right
or shared through left.
Kathy Bandak, residing on Fallowfield Drive, stated that
employees from the First Mortgage Building are still parking on
the street despite the 2 -hour parking restriction. It seems that
there is little the Sheriff Department can do since vehicles are
moved a few feet at the end of the 2 hours. She suggested
the installation of "No Parking 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m." in the
neighborhood. She requested direction as to what is needed
to start the process of eliminating parking.
Chair/Chavers explained to Ms. Bandak that the Commission
has been reviewing the parking issue on Fallowfield Drive for
the last year. The City will not install "No Parking" signs
unless there is concurrence from the neighborhood. Residents
have expressed their opposition to "No Parking" signs. The
dilemma with "No Parking" signs installed in front of just a few
October 14, 1993 Page 2
homes, perhaps 100 feet from First Mortgage Corporation, is
that the employees will then begin parking 101 feet from the
business. It is statistically shown that people will walk up to
a quarter of a mile from the place they have parked, which
would pretty much encompass the Fallowfield Drive/Pasco
Court neighborhood. He suggested that Ms. Bandak keep in
contact with staff for the appropriate steps in the process.
Chair/Chavers requested staff to place the item on the next
agenda, and to bring back a summarization comparing the
parking problem existing today with the problem existing last
year.
Deborah Reneger suggested that the First Mortgage
Corporation be required to construct a multi-level parking
structure.
Chair/Chavers explained that the Commission considered many
options, including structured parking. However, it was
determined that the site plan precludes any kind of structured
parking.
Ken Anderson, residing at 2628 Rising Star Drive, requested
the Commission to revisit the issue regarding the location of
the driveway on Fountain Springs Drive of the Country Hills
Towne Center. He also requested further review regarding the
inadequate parking of the Professional Building, located at
2707 Diamond Bar Blvd., (next to Country Hills Towne Center).
Much of their overflow parking must go to Country Hills Towne
Center, which also has inadequate parking.
OLD BUSINESS.
Evaluation of AA/Aberra reported that, per Commission direction, Austin
Crossing Guard Foust Associates, Inc. reevaluated, in late September of 1993,
Services the nine (9) existing street intersections that currently have
crossing guards, as well as four (4) additional intersections.
Based on the study, as shown on Table 1 of the staff report,
only two of the nine existing intersections were warranted for
adult crossing guard services, however, all nine have been
"grandfathered in" in order to continue crossing guard services.
It is recommended that the Commission: 1) continue current
crossing guard services through the remainder of the school
year; 2) reconsider this matter in April or May of 1994; and 3)
for future years, recommend crossing guards only at
intersections that meet current warrants, based on Austin
Fousts" study.
October 14, 1993 Page 3
C/Ury pointed out that part three of the recommendations
would preclude the issue coming back before the Commission
for review. If the current warrants are not met, then the
automatic recommendation would be that they be
discontinued. The statement "based on Austin Foust's study"
should be eliminated, and the warrants should be based upon
the new study at the time.
VC/Gravdahl inquired if grandfathering in the existing
intersections with crossing guards commits the City to crossing
guards during summer school as well.
SE/Liu stated that the City would be committed, however, only
two schools currently receive crossing guards during summer
school.
Motion was made by VC/Gravdahl and seconded by C/Ury to
accept staff's recommendation, omitting the statement "based
on Austin Fousts' study" in item #3, with direction that the
issue come back to the Commission with updated figures at
the end of May, 1994.
Chair/Chavers suggested that the City consider committing to
providing a crossing guard to each Elementary School, if it is
financially feasible. The crossing guard can be used in the
manner best suited for each school's need, based upon the
review of the Commission. Removing any traffic control
measure, which includes crossing guards, particularly those
that people have become accustomed to, creates a potential
liability for the City. Furthermore, this community has a
standard and an expectation, which may differ from the set
State-wide standards. The community may perceive the
removal of a crossing guard as detrimental. If there is a desire
for more than one crossing guard, then it would require that
the intersection meet the warrants based upon the community
standard. He pointed out that if the City chose to lower the
standards to justify the existing crossing guards, then a
problem may occur because almost all intersections in the City
may then warrant crossing guards.
VC/Gravdahl pointed out that there should be a clearer picture
of the City's budget around May of 1994. Not all schools
need crossing guards, such is evident at Diamond Point
Elementary School. Furthermore, a crossing guard can give a
false sense of security. Other alternatives should also be
considered to help with the traffic problems at the schools.
October 14, 1993 Page 4
Therefore, a review of the issue in May of 1994 would seem
appropriate.
Chair/Chavers, concurring with C/Ury, noted that #2 and #3 of
the recommendation are mutually exclusive. Perhaps item #3
should be eliminated. He also pointed out that, judging by the
size of the audience, it would appear that the City has not
notified the schools of our intent to recommend guards only at
intersections that meet warrants.
VC/Gravdahl and C/Ury withdrew the motion and the second.
Motion was made by VC/Gravdahl and seconded by C/Ury to
continue current crossing guard services through the remainder
of the school year, and to reconsider the matter in April or May
of 1994, eliminating item #3 of staff's recommendation.
Chair/Chavers open the meeting to allow for public testimony.
Nelson Vanderwall, residing at 20739 Lycoming Street #81,
expressed his concern that even though the traffic at Lycoming
Street is heavy, it did not meet the warrants and therefore, it
will not be getting a crossing guard on Lycoming Street at
Glenwick Avenue.
Chair/Chavers stated that there is no need for staff to collect
further data in April or May of 1994 because the data collected
now will be the same in May since enrollment at the schools
will remain pretty constant, and so will the traffic. It may be
more preferable to reconsider this issue immediately while
schools are in full swing and able to respond. The schools
should be notified of the recommendation to consider
eliminating crossing guards at intersections that do not meet
the warrants.
VC/Gravdahl amended his motion as follow: to recommend
continuing current crossing guard services through the
remainder of the school year, and to schedule the matter for
review at the January 1994 Commission meeting, notifying the
schools of the recommendation to consider eliminating current
crossing guards at intersections that do not meet the warrants.
Item #3 of staff's recommendation is to be deleted. It would
be beneficial to have a representative present at the meeting
who is able to define the needs from each of the school.
C/Ury seconded the motion. The Motion Carried by the
following Roll Call vote.
AYES: Ury, Cheng, VC/Gravdahl, and Chair/Chavers.
NOES: None.
October 14, 1993 Page 5
ABSTAIN: None.
ABSENT: None.
SE/Liu stated that staff will provide all the necessary
information to the schools so that they have enough data to
respond back at the Commission meeting.
NEW BUSINESS:
Grand Ave./ SE/Liu reported that the Walnut Sheriff Station requested the
Longview Dr. Department of Public Works to consider the modification of the
Traffic Signal existing traffic signal on Grand Avenue at Longview Drive in
order to provide better visibility for the westbound travelling
motorists approaching from the east. Staff has considered the
modification of westbound signal head via two alternatives:
(1) welding a new mounting tenon (1 " pipe) on the existing
mast arm, or; the installation of a side -mount head at 15'
elevation on the existing pole shaft by bolting. It is
recommended that the Commission review the alternatives and
provide further input regarding this matter.
Chair/Chavers suggested that staff consider using an astro
bracket instead of a welded tenon because it is less expensive
and more easily adjusted.
Motion was made by Chair/Chavers, seconded by VC/Gravdahl
and carried to direct staff to install the signal head they feel is
appropriate.
STATUS OF A. Submitted a work order to the Los Angeles County
PREVIOUS ACTION Department of Public Works to investigate current signal
ITEMS: timing on Copley Drive at Golden Springs Drive.
SE/Liu reported that the wait for the right -turn green time for
the current signal on Copley Drive to Golden Springs Drive has
been reduced from 60 seconds to 35 seconds.
B. Conducting left -turn and opposing through traffic
movement counts on northbound Diamond Bar
Boulevard at Pathfinder Road.
SE/Liu reported that staff will be proceeding with the counts in
approximately two weeks.
C. Creation of a right -turn lane on eastbound Pathfinder
Road at Brea Canyon Road, the installation of five (5)
parallel parking spaces with "No Stopping, 6-8:00 a.m.
October 14, 1993 Page 6
& 4-6:00 p.m., except Saturday and Sunday" signs
supplemented with "2 -Hour Parking, 8:00-4:00 p.m.,
except Saturday and Sunday" signs in lieu of the
existing "2 -Hour Parking, 7:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m." and
appropriate red curbing on south side of Pathfinder Road
between SR 57 off -ramp and Brea Canyon Road to be
discussed by the City Council on October 5, 1993.
SE/Liu reported that this work will not be done until the Bridge
work is finalized, which is anticipated to be completed in
November of 1993.
ITEMS FROM SE/Liu stated that the contract for the signal at the intersection
STAFF: of Pathfinder Road and Brea Canyon Road has been awarded
to Macadee Construction.
SE/Liu reported that 4 of the 5 City Entrance Signs have been
installed. The fifth sign will not be installed until the medians
are finished on the westerly side of the City limits on Golden
Springs Drive,
ITEMS FROM Chair/Chavers reminded the Commission of the Commissioner's
COMMISSION: workshop scheduled October 30, 1993.
SE/Liu suggested that the Commission adjourn the meeting to
November 18, 1993 because the regularly scheduled meeting
date of November 11, 1993 falls on a national holiday.
ADJOURNMENT: Motion was made by Chair/Chavers, seconded by C/Ury and
carried unanimously to adjourn the meeting at 7:50 p.m. to

MINUTES OF THE TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
NOVEMBER 18, 1993
CALL TO ORDER: Chairman Chavers called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. at
the South Coast Air Quality Management District Hearing
Room, 21865 East Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, California.
PLEDGE OF The audience was led in the Pledge of Allegiance by Chairman
ALLEGIANCE: Chavers,
ROLL CALL: Commissioners: Ury, Vice Chairman Gravdahl, and Chairman
Chavers. Commissioner Cheng was absent (excused).
Also present were Senior Engineer David Liu, Administrative
Analyst Tseday Aberra, Sergeant Rawlings, and Contract
Recording Secretary Liz Myers.
MINUTES:
Oct. 14, 1993 Motion was made by C/Ury and seconded by VC/Gravdahl to
approve the Minutes of October 14, 1993, as presented.
COMMISSION VC/Gravdahl requested staff to investigate the intersections of
COMMENTS: Rock River Rd./Clear View Crest Dr. and Eagle Nest Drive.
Both intersections could qualify for a stop sign because
visibility is poor.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: There were none.
CONSENT CALENDAR:
Four -Way Stop Control Chair/Chavers, noting a recent bad accident at the intersection
Warrant Analysis at of Mountain Laurel Way and Maple Hill Road, inquired if
Mountain Laurel Wy. additional speed enforcement would help reduce the possibility
and Maple Hill Road. of collisions in the area.
Sgt. Rawlings stated that, to his knowledge, the problem of
collisions in the area is not severe. Additional enforcement has
already been provided in the area. However, motor officers
have expressed a concern for enforcement on Mountain Laurel
Wy. because using radar on streets more than 40 feet wide
that have not been surveyed would constitute a speed trap.
Moved by C/Ury and seconded by VC/Gravdahl to approve the
Consent Calendar item. The Motion carried by the following
ROLL CALL vote:
November 18, 1993
Page 2
Ms. Kathy Bandak, residing on Fallow Field Drive, submitted
pictures demonstrating the amount of cars parked in her
neighborhood. She stated that, if needed, signatures
petitioning for a "No Parking, 8:00 p.m. -5:00 p.m., Monday -
Friday, Except on Holidays" sign will be obtained and
submitted to the City. To be effective, the "No Parking"
restriction would have to be enforced for the entire
neighborhood. She pointed out that, at this time, it is
impossible for police officers to enforce the 2 -hour parking
because First Mortgage Corporation employees are merely
moving their cars a few inches every two hours to get around
the system.
Chair/Chavers suggested "No Parking from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00
p.m." signs as a more enforceable type of restriction. If the
restriction is placed in the middle of the day, residents can still
have a car parked in front of their house overnight, in the
morning, and in the late afternoon, yet effectively keeping
employees of First Mortgage Corporation from parking in the
residential neighborhood.
AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Ury, VC/Gravdahl, and
Chair/Chavers
NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None.
ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: None.
ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: Cheng.

Evaluation of
SE/Liu reported that the City has received comments regarding
" 2- H o u r Pa r k i n g"
the ineffectiveness of the "2 -Hour Parking, 8:00 a.m.-5:00
restriction
p.m., Monday -Friday" signs, located on the east side of Fallow
at Fallowfield Dr.
Field Drive between Brea Canyon Cut-off Road and Pasco
Court. It appears that the First Mortgage Corporation
employees do not abide by the established restriction. The
intent of these signs was to allow for visitor parking, and to
keep carpoolers out of the residential area. However, upon
observing the area, it is staff's belief that the use of street
space for parking purposes has reached a balanced point
between the residents and the First Mortgage Corporation. It
is recommended that the Traffic and Transportation
Commission make no changes to the existing "2 -Hour Parking,
8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., Monday -Friday" signs on Fallow Field
Drive at this time.
Ms. Kathy Bandak, residing on Fallow Field Drive, submitted
pictures demonstrating the amount of cars parked in her
neighborhood. She stated that, if needed, signatures
petitioning for a "No Parking, 8:00 p.m. -5:00 p.m., Monday -
Friday, Except on Holidays" sign will be obtained and
submitted to the City. To be effective, the "No Parking"
restriction would have to be enforced for the entire

impossible for police officers to enforce the 2 -hour parking
because First Mortgage Corporation employees are merely

Chair/Chavers suggested "No Parking from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00
p.m." signs as a more enforceable type of restriction. If the
restriction is placed in the middle of the day, residents can still
have a car parked in front of their house overnight, in the
morning, and in the late afternoon, yet effectively keeping
employees of First Mortgage Corporation from parking in the
residential neighborhood.
November 18, 1993 Page 3
Sgt. Rawlings indicated that such a restriction would be more
enforceable because there would be no doubt that cars are
parked illegally during that time frame.
Chair/Chavers suggested that the neighborhood discuss the
issue to reach a consensus on the hours to be restricted. He
then inquired how the area directly in front of First Mortgage
corporation on either side of Fallow Field Drive should be
handled.
SE/Liu reported that First Mortgage Corporation specifically
requested, back in December of 1992, that the west side of
Fallow Field Drive , between Brea Canyon Cut-off Road and
Pasco Court, be utilized as a visitor parking area. In addition,
the surveys sent in 1992, to the approximate 50 residents in
the area indicated that they would like the "2 -Hour Parking"
sign to remain.
Chair/Chavers pointed out that though the residents wanted
the sign to remain, their actual preference was a "No Parking"
restriction. However, it is fairly obvious from the evidence that
cars are being parked all day long, and it is doubtful that the
area is being used for visitor parking.
SE/Liu suggested that a meeting be scheduled with First
Mortgage Corporation , a representative from the Sheriff
Walnut Station, and staff asking First Mortgage Corporation
formally to cooperate with the City regarding the parking
situation.
Chair/Chavers stated that since the "2 -Hour Parking" restriction
is unenforceable, First Mortgage Corporation will continue to
use that piece of the street for long term parking, unless there
is a "No Parking" restriction. Chair/Chavers suggested that a
member of the Traffic and Transportation Commission, and
staff meet with the leaders of the neighborhood to determine
alternate proposal(s) that would be feasible. The leaders could
then survey the neighborhood on which proposal is preferred.
C/Ury and VC/Gravdahl volunteered to be present at such a
meeting, with a couple of the residents and staff.
Moved by Chair/Chavers and seconded by C/Ury to adopt
staff's recommendation, and to direct staff to set up a meeting
with members of the community, two Commission members,
and staff, to discuss alternatives to describe some no parking
November 18, 1993

and parking restrictions in the area of Fallow Field Drive. The
Motion carried by the following ROLL CALL vote:
AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Ury, VC/Gravdahl, and
Chair/Chavers
NOES:
COMMISSIONERS:
None.
ABSTAIN:
COMMISSIONERS:
None.
ABSENT:
COMMISSIONERS:
Cheng.
C/Ury suggested that staff also invite representatives from the
First Mortgage Corporation to attend the meeting.
Chair/Chavers stated that it would seem more appropriate to
reach a consensus with the neighborhood first before
addressing First Mortgage Corporation. VC/Gravdahl
concurred.
SE/Liu reported that, pursuant to the Commission's request,
NEW BUSINESS: the intersection of Diamond Bar Boulevard and Pathfinder Road
was studied with respect to the need for traffic signal left -turn
Traffic Signal phasing on northbound Diamond Bar Boulevard at Pathfinder
left -turn Road in order to reduce left -turn vehicle queues. The
phasing at applicable CalTrans warrants for the addition of the left turn
DB Blvd. at phasing at this intersection were utilized. Of the three
Pathfinder Rd. warrants (accidents, delays, and volume), the frequency of left -
turn accidents is the cause for concern. Four accidents have
occurred in the most recent 12 -month period, indicating that
there may be a problem developing that will be exacerbated by
future increases in traffic volume on Diamond Bar Boulevard.
It is recommended that the Traffic and Transportation
Commission not install the left -turn phasing at this time. It is
further recommended that the accident statistics be monitored
at three to six month intervals to determine if the frequency
reaches five per year and thereby warrant the installation of
left -turn phasing. SE/Liu then stated that the estimated cost,
at this time, for the left -turn phasing, when it does become
warranted, is estimated at $30,000, and would have to be
incorporated into the Capital Improvement Program.
C/Ury expressed his concern that another couple of accidents
would have to occur before warranting the left -turn phasing.
The intersection should be closely monitored.
Chair/Chavers noted that CalTrans Traffic Manual does not
deal with protective -permissive phasing, but only with
exclusive left -turn phasing. He also noted that the Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices, used for the national
1
1
1
November 18, 1993 Page 5
standards, does not have left -turn warrants, leaving the
decision entirely up to the judgement of the engineer. He
suggested that a leading northbound left arrow be utilized,
similar to what is used at northbound Golden Springs Drive at
Diamond Bar Boulevard, that is a protective -permissive
sequence.
C/Ury concurred with Chair Chavers to start immediately with
a protective arrow, and then go to a protective -permissive
phasing.
Moved by Chair/Chavers and seconded by VC/Gravdahl to
accept staff's recommendation to not install the left -turn
phasing at this time, but to amend the recommendation to
direct staff to pursue installation of protective -permissive left -
turn phasing for northbound Diamond Bar Blvd. at Pathfinder
Road. The Motion carried by the following ROLL CALL voter
AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Ury, VC/Gravdahl, and
Chair/Chavers
NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None.
ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: None.
ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: Cheng.
ITEMS FROM Chair/Chavers requested staff to investigate why raised
COMMISSIONERS: medians have been installed between the two ramp terminals
on the Pathfinder Bridge. The County had indicated that it
would be painted a double yellow because it was uncertain
what the left turn demand would be.
C/Ury noted that there are many cars parked in the red painted
area by the Honda dealership on the west side of the freeway.
Sgt. Rawlings explained that the area is under the City of
Industry's jurisdiction and they are aware of the illegal parking.
C/Ury commented on the lack of attendance regarding the
consent calander item on Mountain Laurel Way.
VC/Gravdahl noted that the three-way and four-way stop signs
at the intersections in the area of Armitos Place and Leyland
Drive are almost being ignored by motorists. Many of the
motorists are traveling at excessive speed.
Sgt. Rawlings stated that people often do not stop at stop
signs that are placed in areas that appear to be unwarranted.
Excessive speed is a problem on streets that are designed long
November 18, 1993 Page 6
and service feeder streets, such as Leyland Drive and
Longview Drive. Additional enforcement in those areas do
slow motorists down, but speeding reoccurs when officers
leave the area.
ITEMS FROM SE/Liu reported the following items: the Ribbon Cutting
STAFF: Ceremony for the Pathfinder Bridge is scheduled for December
2, 1993 at 10:30 a.m.; Mr. Frank Usher is the new Assistant
City Manager; the Term of Office for the Traffic and
Transportation Commissioners will expire on February 28,
1994; and Mayor Pro Tem Papen has appointed Mrs. Lou
Esposito to fill the vacancy on the Traffic and Transportation
Commission.
AA/Aberra stated that staff has recommended that the
meeting, be adjourned to December 16, 1993 because this
years Christmas Party/Open House is schedule the same date
as the regularly scheduled meeting of December 9, 1993.
ADJOURNMENT: Motion was made by Chair/Chavers, seconded by VC/Gravdahl
and carried unanimously to adjourn the meeting at 7:30 p.m. am
to December 16, 1993 at 6:30 p.m..

C. Description of Applicant:
The City of West Hollywood is a "corridor" city located approximately 8 miles northwest of
the Los Angeles Civic Center. The CRIT extends for a maximum east -west distance of
about 2.9 miles and is 1.25 miies at Its widest from north to south. It is surrounded on 3 sides
by the City of Los Angeles; on the north by the Hollywood Hills, on the east by the
oommunRy of Hollywood, and on the south by the Fairfax District. The City of Beverly Hills
abuts the city to the west. The conliguration of the city along major east -west highways
effectively makes West Hollywood a conduit for travel across the Los Angeles metropolitan
area.
Page -1-
The City occupies approximately 1.9 square miles. Of this, 98.7°% is developed with urban
uses that include residential, commercial, commerciaHnanufacturing, parks, public and institutional
uses, and strests and alleys. Multiple -unit apartments and condominiums dominate the residential
areas of the city; most of these areas exceeding densities of 45 units per acre. Commercial uses,
generally are located in narrow strips along the principal east -west streets; Santa Monica Blvd,
Sunset Blvd, Melrose Ave, and Beverly Blvd. The areas are home to a number of major industries
serving the Southern Callomia region; i.e., design furnishings, entertainment, restaurants, hotels, and
specialty commercial, as well as local -serving uses.
The City incorporated on November 29,1984 becoming the 84th city in Los Angeles County. West
Hollywood is a general -law city with a councG-manager form of government. Council members serve
four year overlapping terms with one council member selected by the other council members to
serve as mayor. The population is approximately 36,000.
The City contracts with outside organizations to provide city services and has 141 full-time
employees. The current budget Is approximately $40 million with salaries totalling approximately
$7.5 million.
The City realizes the value of risk management in a municipality and employs a full-time risk
manager. The primary function of the job is loss prevention and loss control. As an example of
risk management Involvement contracts are reviewed to ensure appropriate indemnification language
is used. The risk manager Is presently working on a computer system that would simplify contract
assembly, incorporating uniform wording and indemnnicationthold harmless agreements. The
majority of claims arise from contractor's activities; the risk manager, together with the third party
administrator, transfers them to the appropriate responsible agency, thus reducing incurred loss cost.
It. CURRENT INSURANCE PROGRAM
A. General and Automobile Liability:
The City currently purchases a commercial general liability policy which includes automobile
coverage from The Insurance Company of the West. Premium for the primary policy. in
the amount of $1,000,000, with $150,000 self-insured retention, is $95,196.00. The premium
for Excess coverage in the amount of $9,000,000 Is also through The Insurance Company
of the West and is $53,253 annually. The total for the primary policy and excess policy is
$148,449.00.
B. Workers' Compensation:
West Hollywood Is insured through the State Compensation Insurance Fund. Coverage "A"
provides benefits required by The State of California. Coverage "B" provides Employer's
Liability in the amount of $3,000,000. The retention level is $150,000. The present premium
Is $193,100.
C. Property Insurance:
West Hollywood presently purchases coverage from The Chubb Group. The total Insured
value is $10,120,000 at a premium of $20,000.
III. EXPERIENCE AND LOSS DATA
A. General and Automotible Liability:
The City made available to the SCJPIA five years of loss history.
-2-
In the most recent year, May 1992 through May 1993, 22 claims were presented with an
Incurred value of $94,440. No claims paid to date. The reserves on all claims are low, the
majority being in the "slip and far category.
In claim year 1991 to 1992, the total incurred loss was $42,480. There were 21 claims
presented; 17 have closed, 4 remain open. No paid claims to date. More than half of the
Incurred $24,780 is either reserved or paid expense indicating the City's efforts and interest
in reduced claims costs.
In claim year 1990-1991, the total incurred loss was $46,880. There were 38 claims
presented and 8 remain open. Claims paid to date are $4,500. Expenses, both reserved
and paid, are $28,180.
In claim year 1989-1990, the total incurred loss was $137,380. There were 51 claims
presented and 2 remain open. Claims paid to date are $10,250. Expenses, both reserved
and paid are $121,113.
In claim year 1988-1989, the total incurred loss was $87,990. There were 36 claims
presented and 2 remain open. Claims paid to date are $1,500. Expenses, both reserved
and paid are $81,489.
There was also a review of the City's claims which fall outside the City's present insurance
coverage. It does not appear they would impact the SCJPIA Special liability Protection
Program. There would be no negative impact to the SCJPIA's costs.
B. Workers' Compensation:
Insured losses were reviewed for the same five year time period. The City, through Irs Risk
Manager, has established a safety committee to review workers' compensation claims, and
Is closely monitoring prevention efforts with a view to substantially reduce workers'
compensation claims costs for the future.
C. Property:
The City has suffered some minor property losses over the past five years, a total amount of
$6,230.
IV. APPLICATION FEE AND DEPOSIT COMPUTATIONS
A. Application Fee:
The City has paid an application fee of $1,500.
B. General Liability Deposit:
The initial Primary deposit was established at $141,000. The development of the deposit was
based upon a pro -forma utilizing the City's claim history.
The Excess General Liability annual deposit was established at $72,000 based upon .9710/6 of
the annual payroll.
Both figures used for establishing initial deposits were approved and adopted by the SCJPIA
Executive Committee.
-3-
C. Workers' Compensation Deposit:
City participation in the SCJPIA Workers, Compensation program may be appropriate for
consideration in the future, especially coupled with the City's strenuous preventioNmltigation
efforts.
D. Property:
It would be advantageous for the City to consider the SCJPIA Property Program in the future.
The present rate is approximately 4 cents per $100 of insured values.
V. PHYSICAL INSPECTION AND COMMENTS

West Hollywood currently utilizes rented office space. The City has purchased a building
which will be retrofitted to house City Hall. The new City Hap will be located at 8300
Santa Monica Blvd.
B. Corporation Yard:
All services are contracted for.
C. Parks and Playgrounds:
Plummer Park - The principal center of recreational, cultural activity for the east side of the
community. It's meeting rooms, tennis and basketball courts, and open spaces are heavily
used by Individual residents and groups. Additional tennis courts and other improvements
will be added In the near future. The lighting system at the park was recently upgraded as
part of the City's capital improvement project.
West Hollywood Park - This facility serves the recreational and cultural needs of the west
side of the City. The park contains a swimming pool, auditorium, tiny -tot program for
children and activities for some of the city's older citizens. The City's cable TV station
Is housed at the park.
Hart Park - The house and approximately one-third acre open space was donated to the City
by the estate of the actor, William S. Hart. The outside of the house was recently renovated
with further Improvements awaiting the necessary funds.
AN of the parks were found to be well maintained, lighted, attractive, and in good condition
with no noted hazards.
D. Streets, Sidewalks and Trees:
Streets appear to be well maintained and have adequate pavement markings and signs.
During the course of the survey no evidence of roadway undermining, caused by surface
drainage was observed. CrossmIks and lanes of travel are well marked with sufficient
warning signs. The City contracts for road maintenance repair. Emergency repairs are
made within 24 hours.
Traffic signal maintenance Is performed under contract with the City of Los Angeles, Los
Angeles County, or by CALTRANS.
Claims occurring on state or county owned roads are Immediately referred to the appropriate
agency.

damage.
Pape -4-
Capital improvement projects scheduled for 1993/94 Include street repair, sidewalk
restoration, street lighting upgrades, sewer upgrades and traffic right of way.
VI. WATER AND OTHER UTILITIES
Water service is provided through contract with the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power and
the City of Beverly Hills. Sanitary sewer services are provided by the Los Angeles County Sanitation
and Flood Control District.
Electrical power is provided by Southern Calibmia Edison. Natural gas Is also available from
Southern California Gas, and Pacific Bel provides telephone service to the City. Sold waste disposal
Is provided by contract with Waste Management Inc.
VII. FIRE DEPARTMENT
Fire protection and paramedic service is provided by the Los Angeles County Fire District.
VIII. POLICE DEPARTMENT
Police Protection Is presently provided through contract with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's
Department. There is an initiative petition being circulated to replace the Los Angeles County
Sheriff with a city police department. If successful, the city would have an operational police
department by July 1996.
IX. SUMMARY AND EVALUATION
The City Council understands and is committed to the concept of risk management and is very
aware that hazardous conditions need to be evaluated and addressed to reduce the city's exposure
to d Wloss. The City's commitment to risk management is further evidenced by the City stairs
knowledge and enthusiasm toward the overall risk management effort of the City.
it is the SCJPIA staffs conclusion that the loss experience and interest expressed by the City Council
and City staff qualify the City for consideration for membership in the SCJPIA.
We also find that membership will be of advantage to the City by providing economical coverage, and
will be advantageous to the SCJPIA by expanding its ability to spread pooled losses and
costs.
XI. RECOMMENDATION
It Is recommended that the application of the City of West Holywood for membership in
the Southern California Joint Powers Insurance Authority, be approved, excluding coverage for soils
or slope movement, with an initial annual general liability primary deposit of $141,000 and an excess
liability deposit of $72,000 for a total annual lability deposit of $213,000.

MEETING DATE: February 15, 1994 REPORT DATE: February 9, 1994
FROM: James DeStefano, Community Development Director
TITLE: Consideration of Ordinance No. 94 -XX repealing Chapter 15.30 (Housing Code) of the
Diamond Bar City Code, as heretofore adopted, adding a new Chapter 15.30 to the Diamond Bar City
Code and adopting, by reference, the Building and Property Rehabilitation Chapter 99 of Title 26 of the
Los Angeles County Building Code, 1988 Edition together with certain amendments, additions, deletions
and exceptions.
SUMMARY: In the process of adopting the 1991 Uniform Building Codes, all Los Angeles County Code were
repealed, along with Chapter 99 (Building and Property Rehabilitation). To replace Chapter 99, the City of
Diamond Bar Uniform Housing Code was adopted. During these past two years, we have experienced various
property maintenance type violations. The re -adoption of Chapter 99 would consolidate the sections on
Substandard Buildings, Substandard Conditions, and Substandard Property, along with Section 22660 of the
Vehicle Code, as Chapter 99 also contains a provision for abandoned vehicle abatement. Ordinance 94 -XX
would give the City an interim property maintenance code expanding upon the provisions contained in the
City's Housing Code. This ordinance could then serve as an interim property maintenance standard until such
time as the Planning Commission completes its deliberations on the new Property Maintenance Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council open the public hearing, receive
testimony, and approve the proposed ordinance.

SUBJECT: Consideration of Ordinance No. 94 -XX repealing Chapter 15.30
(Housing Code) of the Diamond Bar City Code, as heretofore adopted, adding a
new Chapter 15.30 to the Diamond Bar City Code and adopting, by reference,
the Building and Property Rehabilitation Chapter 99 of Title 26 of the Los
Angeles County Building Code, 1988 Edition together with certain amendments,
additions, deletions and exceptions.
ISSUE STATEMENT:
This report requests the City Council to review Chapter 99 of the Los Angeles
County Building Code and to approve it, as amended, in order to provide an
enhanced set of standards for property maintenance.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council open the public hearing, receive
testimony, and approve the proposed ordinance.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
This ordinance would have no financial impact on the City's 1993-1994 budget.
BACKGROUND:
In the process of adopting the 1991 Uniform Building Codes, the City repealed
all Los Angeles County Codes, along with Chapter 99 (Building and Property
Rehabilitation). To replace Chapter 99, the City of Diamond Bar Uniform
Housing Code was adopted.
During these past two years, the Department of Community Development has
experienced various property maintenance type violations (i.e. trash storage
visible from the street, trailers stored visible from the street). The
Planning Commission is currently reviewing a Property Maintenance Ordinance
designed to meet the specific needs of the community. The re -adoption of
Chapter 99, as amended, is presented to serve as a strong, enforceable
interim maintenance code.
DISCUSSION:
An analysis has been performed to compare Chapter 99 (Building and Property
Rehabilitation) with the existing City Housing Code and the most recent draft
of the Property Maintenance Ordinance. Attached is a matrix showing the
differences between Chapter 99 and the City Housing Code, as well as the
draft Property Maintenance Ordinance.
In adopting the 1991 Uniform Building Codes, it was the staff opinionn that
most of the items previously dealt with in Chapter 99 of the Los Angeles
County Building Code are now included in the City of Diamond Bar Uniform
Housing Code (1991 ed.). However, upon further review of the three
subsections of Chapter 99 (Definition of Substandard Buildings, Substandard
Conditions, and Substandard Property) and comparing them with their
counterparts in the Uniform Housing Code it is evident that, whereas the
Substandard Buildings and Substandard Conditions sections are repeated almost
verbatim in the Housing Code, the Substandard Property subsection of Chapter
99 goes into far greater detail on many violations relating to property
maintenance which are detrimental to nearby property or to property values,
and unsightly property not in conformance to surrounding neighborhood, or in
such deterioration or disrepair as to diminish surrounding property values.
The Substandard Property subsection also highlights specific violations, such
as clotheslines in the front yard, garbage cans visible from the street, and
trailers parked in areas visible from the street. The proposed interim
ordinance also establishes a maximum time period allowed for garbage cans to
be stored in front yards prior to collection, as well as a provision for
abatement of abandoned vehicles, which is not contained in the Housing Code,
and for which the City currently uses the Vehicle Code, section 22660, for
their removal. Re -adoption of Chapter 99 would allow consolidation of
property maintenance and abandoned vehicle abatement into one ordinance.
The Building Official has consulted with Mr. Bill Woods, the Los Angeles
County District Attorney, who would be the prosecutor should a case reach
that point, as to the enforceability of the proposed ordinance. He expressed
that Chapter 99 is a good piece of legislation, and that he has been very
successful in prosecuting Chapter 99 type violations.
During the past year, the Planning Commission has been working on a Property
Maintenance Ordinance designed to meet the specific needs of the City of
Diamond Bar. The Commission has recommended that the Council consider, if
appropriate, the re -adoption of Chapter 99 on an interim basis.
CONCLUSION:
Based upon recent complaints filed with the Code Enforcement Office
pertaining to certain properties which are not being maintained in conformity
with the neighborhood which may affect surrounding property values, and
complaints pertaining to aesthetic issues such as visible trash storage and
trailer parking, the re -adoption of Chapter 99, as amended, would serve the
needs of property owners in enforcing the maintaining of safe conditions and
property values, until the new Property Maintenance Ordinance is completed
and adopted.
PUBLIC HEARING NOTIFICATION:
Public hearing notices for the February 15, 1994, City Council Meeting were
published within the San Gabriel Valley Tribune and Inland Valley Daily
Bulletin on February 3, 1994 in accordance with State Law.

DATE: February 8, 1994
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: James De Stefano, Community Development Dir 4C
SUBJECT: Readoption of Chapter 99 of the Los Angeles Cou y
Code (Building and Property Rehabilitation)
The Planning Commission is currently in the process of reviewing
a Draft Property Maintenance Ordinance (PMO). The Commission has
noted that consideration of the PMO is a result of the need to
enhance or replace existing code enforcement tools. The
Commission is aware of Chapter 99 of the Los Angeles Code which
sets forth provisions responding to substandard property and
buildings. The Commission recommends that the City Council
adopt, if appropriate, Chapter 99, on an interim basis, which
would provide an immediate enhancement and allow the Commission
additional time to complete and forward its recommendation on the
PMO.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
FROM: Terrence L. Belanger, City Manager
RE: Additional City Offices Space and Lease Modification
DATE: February 15, 1994
ISSUE:
The City is modifying the lease agreement for City Hall
space to include Suite 100 and Suite 190.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the modified
lease agreement between the City of Diamond Bar and Diamond
Bar Business Associates, related to City Offices space.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Diamond Bar entered into a lease agreement with
Diamond Bar Business Associates (DBBA), on April 18, 1989.
That lease agreement leased 3,854 square feet of office
space, at 21660 E. Copley Drive, known as Suite 100. In
1989, Pacesetter Municipal Services leased 3,171 square feet
of office space, known as Suite 190.
Suite 190 contains the City development services,
engineering and building safety departments. Pacesetter
provided building safety services through October, 1993. As
a provision of their contract Pacesetter leased Suite 190.
The City reimbursed Pacesetter for approximately two-thirds
of the lease amount ($4,081.87/mo.), based upon the square
footage being utilized by the City. After Pacesetter ceased
operations, the City indicated to DBBA that it would want to
lease the Suite 190 office space.
The currently pays $6,667.67/mo. for Suite 100. The lease
payment for Suite 190 would be $5,707.80. As previously
mentioned, the City has been paying $4,081.87 for the pro -
rata use of Suite 190. The lease modification results in an
additional monthly payment of $1,625.93/mo, for nine months.
The cost adjustment for the lease for Suites 100 & 190 was
made in the November, 1993 budget amendment. The total cost
for FY 93-94 would be approximately $150,000.

Re: Your correspondence of January 6, 1994
Dear Mr. Montgomery:
It is the purpose of this correspondence to respond
to yours of January 6, 1994, which appears to "relay" some sort
of public record request from one Terri Birrell pertaining to
documents and records with regard to the non -issue of Diamond
Bar Councilmember Gary Miller's involvement in the somewhat
euphemistically titled "South Pointe Master Plan." As you are
undoubtedly well aware, Mr. Miller, at one time, had an
interest in a portion of the real property within the South
Pointe Area. Having divested himself of any interest in the
subject property well over one (1) year prior to the project
application being filed, I provided the quite unremarkable
opinion that, pursuant to the requirements and strictures of
the Political Reform Act of 1974 (California Government Code §§
87000, et seq.), the provisions of which I understand you are
passing familiar, Mr Miller had no conflict under the law.
As a result of that divestiture, and the time frame
involved, it was abundantly clear to all that Mr. Miller had no
conflict of interest. Yet, in an attempt on his part to ensure
that "politics" did not enter the fray, Mr. Miller clearly and
unequivocally announced to all and sundry that he simply would
not participate in the deliberations on the project. In fact,
as your self-styled "citizens group" client must recall, Mr.
Miller even went so far as to totally absent himself from
meetings at which it was discussed (and, while Mayor, handing
over the gavel to the Mayor Pro Tempore). Those actions on the
part of Mr. Miller were not only unavailing, they were
virtually counterproductive. In hindsight, if Mr. Miller was
to be subject to the personal abuse, venomous attacks and
Michael Montgomery
February 1, 1994
Page Two
vituperati lurs of members of the public in any event, he
o a y should have participated.
Your desire to serve as a conduit to the public under
a purported Public Records Act (California Government Code H
6250, et seq.) request perplexes me. I know of no attorney
representing cities in California who considers his or her
files to be available to the public under the California Public
Records Act. To presume that such files are available
thereunder strikes me as the height of folly and would, if
nothing else, eviscerate the salutary purposes of the
attorr.Ay-client*-Tr ilsge. Moreover, to simply share, with aii
who have some chimeric need to rummage in the affairs of a
public officia he most personal of documents, including tax
returns and the like, is the antithesis of thezealous
safeguarding of a client's matters required of tTose of us who
attempt to honorably engage in the profession of law.
As I have stated, with some frequency, to
Councilmembers (including your erstwhile clients Ms. Ansari and
Messers. Harmony and Werner) I will not, and do not, share such
auricular matters with the merely inquisitive who purport to
espouse a "need to know". To do so would set at naught the
ability to provide thoughtful counsel to those requesting the
same. We take on faith that you would not remonstrate your
clients to forthrightly and candidly share all of the facts and
documents necessary to a thoroughgoing analysis of the client's
lot, all the while knowing that you will simply divulge the
aggregate thereof to any who inquire. That approach would,
doubtless, produce a client unwilling to impart, frankly, the
true state of the facts since, perforce, all will be presented
in the public domain and the postulate for candid analysis will
be reduced to absurdity.
Stated otherwise, if one's client carrot feel secure
that what is conveyed to one's lawyer goes no further, there
seems little, if any point, to the exercise. The client will
simply provide a factual presentation that puts him or her in
the best light or, worse, will enshroud the pertinent data all
with the deleterious effects as have been visited upon others
unable or unwilling to confide in their counsel the unvarnished
truth. The lawyer's role will, then, be reduced to the
provision of an endless stream of _homilies or truisms, with a
dollop of twaddle thrown in for good measure.
Michael Montgomery
February 1, 1994
Page Three
Leaving all of that aside, as manifestly stated to
your client, Max Maxwell, in September of the year last past,
all of the documents provided by Mr. Miller were returned to
Mr. Miller and not retained by this office for reasons which
should be abundantly clear, even to those who seek the
documents. To assert that this office "lost" the same is
laughable and requires no further response.
In summary then, if I had the documents, I would not
divulge the same; however, since I do not, the point is
somewhat academic, is it not?
Very ly yours,
Andrew V. Arczynski

MEETING DATE: February 15, 1994
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Terrence L. Belanger, City Manager
SUBJECT: Formation of the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments
(COG)
ISSUE STATEMENT:
The San Gabriel Valley Association of Cities and the San Gabriel Valley
City Managers' Association have proposed the formation of a Council of
Governments for the purpose of providing cities in the San Gabriel Valley a
regional organization for cooperative planning of government services and
to assist in the coordination of federal, state, and regional projects
and/or mandates.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to
execute on the City's behalf the Joint Powers Agreement establishing the
San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments. It is further recommended that
the City Council approve Resolution 94 -XX appointing a representative and
alternate to the Governing Board of the San Gabriel Valley Council of
Governments.
BACKGROUND:
The San Gabriel Valley Association of Cities has historically served as the
forum for the exchange of ideas and information amongst its member cities.
However, as additional federal and state mandates are levied upon cities
there is now an urgent need to coordinate regional and subregional programs
to the mutual benefit of all cities in the San Gabriel Valley.
In response to growing concerns over regional planning issues, a number of
elected officials and city managers have jointly concluded that the cities
in the San Gabriel Valley collectively need to be more aggressive and
effective in developing their own subregional policies and in implementing
their own subregional plans than they have been in the past. It is proposed
that the existing San Gabriel Valley Association of Cities be phased out
and replaced with a more versatile organization like a Council of
Governments.
In order to create this Council of Governments, a total of 50% plus one of
the cities in the San Gabriel Valley must adopt the JPA Agreement by March
1, 1994. It is anticipated that a majority of the cities will support the
formation of this organization.
DISCUSSION:
Besides assisting cities in facilitating the subregional planning process,
the Council of Governments will serve an important advocacy role in
representing San Gabriel Valley cities at all levels of government. In
addition to providing a forum for cities of the San Gabriel Valley to speak
collectively on important regional and subregional issues such as
transportation, housing, public safety, growth management, open space, air
quality, economic development, solid waste and water quality, the Council
of Governments will at a minimum:
1. Provide a formalized organization structure to ensure
fair representation from each city in the San Gabriel
Valley;
2. Assist in coordinating subregional planning activities;
3. Resolve conflicts and build consensus amongst cities on
the implementation of policies and programs for
addressing subregional and regional issues;
4. Serve as a mechanism for obtaining State, Federal and
regional grants; and
5. Conduct studies designed to improve and coordinate the
common governmental responsibilities and services on a
subregional basis.
The Council of Governments will be structured to provide maximum repre-
sentation to all member cities in the policy making process. It will
consist of a General Assembly made up of all elected officials from all
member cities; an Executive Committee (policy body) made up of one elected
official selected by each member city; and a Technical Advisory Committee
(TAC) which will include city managers or their designees and repre-
sentatives of other agencies (i.e., MTA, AQMD, etc.) that the organization
is working with on a given issue or project.
The Council of Governments will not possess the authority to compel or
coerce any of it members to conduct activities or implement plans or
strategies that they do not wish to undertake. The Council of Governments
will not infringe on a city's ability to make land use decisions nor will
it jeopardize a city's home rule ability. It is the specific goal and
intent that the Council of Governments be one of voluntary cooperation
among cities for the collective benefit all cities in the San Gabriel
Valley.
To assist the City Council in evaluating the necessity of the Council of
Governments and its potential role as a regional coordinating and planning
agency the following documents have been attached:
1. A letter from the President of the San Gabriel Valley
Association of Cities regarding the proposed COG;
2. A brief question and answer sheet regarding the
proposed COG; and
3. The proposed Bylaws and Joint Power Authority Agreement
for the proposed COG.
Staff concurs with the San Gabriel Valley Association of Cities that the
creation of a formal organization to serve as the vehicle to collectively
address matters of mutual interest facing cities is urgently needed and is
fundamental to maintaining the quality of life in the San Gabriel Valley.
Therefore, staff recommends the City Council's favorable consideration of
this matter.

SGVAC Executive Committee.
FORMATION OF THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS
The Joint Powers Agreement should be approved and executed by your
city. In addition, your City Council should designate by resolution a
Governing Board Member and Alternate Governing Board Member and submit
those appointments, along with the executed Joint Powers Agreement, to
David Smith, SGVAC Executive Director, not later than February 25,
1994. The Bylaws are included in the packet for information only. No
action on the Bylaws is required by your City. They will be adopted by
the Governing Board of the COG at its first meeting.
The Council Of Governments will become an official entity on March 1,
1994 if fifty percent plus one of the eligible public entities adopt
the Joint Powers Agreement by a majority vote of the legislative body
and sign the Agreement. If fifty percent plus one of the eligible
public entities have not signed the Agreement by March 1, 1994, then
the effective date of the Agreement will be the first date on which
fifty percent plus one of the eligible public entities adopt and sign
the Agreement.
STRUCTURE OF THE COUNCIL OVERNMENTS
In general terms, the Council Of Governments will be structured with a
Governing Board (policy body) made up of one elected official selected
by each member city. There will be a Technical Advisory Committee
(TAC) consisting of the city manager of each member city or their
designee which will provide direct professional input to the Governing
Board. Other committees may be appointed by the Governing Board as
determined necessary.
It is anticipated that the Governing Board of the Council Of
Governments will elect officers, adopt Bylaws, arrange for staffing and
begin assembling a work program and budget at its first meeting.
Clearly, the size of the budget of the Council Of Governments will be
directly related to the scope of the work program developed and adopted
by the Governing Board of the Council Of Governments, which is
appointed by the City Councils of the member cities.

PURPOSE OF THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS
The Council Of Governments will:
1. Provide a formalized organizational structure to ensure fair
representation from each city in the San Gabriel Valley (one vote
per city);
2. Assist in coordinating subregional planning efforts and in
resolving conflicts among the cities in the San Gabriel Valley as
they work toward achieving planning goals;
3. Attempt to build consensus among the cities on the implementation
Of policies and programs for addressing subregional and regional
issues;
4. Serve as a mechanism for obtaining State, Federal and regional
grants to finance a major portion of the expenditures of the
organization;
5. Serve in an advocacy role in representing the San Gabriel Valley
cities at the regional, State and Federal levels on issues of
importance to the San Gabriel Valley; and
6. Possess the flexibility of utilizing professional staff, member
city resources, consultants or presently existing single purpose .
public and public/private groups to carry out its programs and
projects.
The Council Of Governments will not possess the authority to compel any
of its members to conduct any activities or implement any plans or
strategies that they do not wish to undertake. The goal and intent of
the Authority is one of voluntary cooperation among cities for the
collective benefit of cities in the San Gabriel Valley.,
PRIORITIES OF THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS
The Governing Board of the Council Of Governments will develop its own
work program and establish its own priorities. However, a subcommittee
of the Subregional Plan Technical Advisory Committee, which is
comprised of one representative from each city in the subregional
planning area, the city managers committee and the elected officials
committee have established the following menu of issues/activities that
Honorable Mayor Gary Werner and
Members of the City Council
City of Diamond Bar

should receive consideration by the Governing Board: Activities
relating to the subregional planning process and the Regional
Comprehensive Planning process; Transportation Control Measures
(TCM's); transportation issues including transit and surface
transportation; air quality issues other than TCM's; Congestion
Management Program (CMP) issues; mandated programs (housing, air
quality and waste management); economic development issues; a public
outreach program on issues that will impact businesses and residents in
the Valley; and advocacy on behalf of the San Gabriel Valley cities at
all levels (agencies and the State and Federal government).
If you would like to discuss any aspect of the formation of the Council
Of Governments in greater detail, please contact me at (909) 394-6217;
David Smith, SGVAC Executive Director, at (818) 907-1664; Julio

City Manager, at (818) 814-8401. Additionally, if you desire, I would
be happy to make a presentation to your City Council.
I look forward to all cities in the San Gabriel Valley taking the
necessary action to join the San Gabriel Valley Council Of Governments
so that we can move forward on March 1, 1994.

SAN GABRIEL VALLEY COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The following questions and answers are those which were discussed during
presentations to City Councils, at San Gabriel Valley Association Of Cities (SGVAC)
Executive Committee and General Membership meetings, and during meetings with
individuals representing business in the San Gabriel Valley. The answers are based
on the collective opinions of the City Managers Committee, the Elected Officials
Committee and the SGVAC Executive Committee.
Q• WON'T THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS REQUIRE YET ANOTHER MONTHLY
DINNER MEETING?
A. No. Upon the formation of the Council Of Governments, the San Gabriel Valley
Association Of Cities will be disbanded and its assets transferred to the Council
Of Governments. The Council Of Governments will be a more formal organization
which will primarily deal with issues in a businesslike forum. The Governing Board
of the Council Of Governments may, however, schedule occasional dinner
meetings to fulfill the purposes of the Council.
Q. WILL THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS BE ANOTHER LAYER OF
GOVERNMENT?
A. The Council Of Governments will be formed as a Joint Powers Authority, which
is technically a separate governmental entity. From a practical standpoint,
however, the function of the Council Of Governments will be similar to that of the
existing San Gabriel Valley Association Of Cities. It should be noted that all cities
in the San Gabriel Valley are currently members of one or more Joint Powers
Authority and that few, if any, problems have been encountered with the operation
of those governmental entities.
Q. WILL A MAJORITY OF THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS MEMBERS HAVE THE
ABILITY TO COMPEL ONE OR MORE OF ITS MEMBERS TO COMPLY WITH THE
WISHES OF THE REST OF THE GROUP?
A. No. The Council Of Governments will have no power to require any member to
do anything that it does not wish to do.
-1-
0. HOW MUCH WILL THE CITIES HAVE TO PAY TO BELONG TO THE COUNCIL OF
GOVERNMENTS?
A. It is unknown what the Governing Board of the Council Of Governments will adopt
in the way of a budget. What is known is that a grant will be available from the
Southern California Association Of Governments and other grants will, in all
probability, be available also. There is no doubt, however, that the member cities
will be asked to support the organization financially and, in all probability, through
the commitment of staff resources such as has been done to expedite the
subregional planning process.
Q. WILL THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS BE A REPOSITORY FOR FUNDING
FOR REGIONAL PROJECTS?
A. No. The only grants the Council Of Governments will apply for will be for planning
studies. The Council Of Governments will not be involved in the construction of
projects.
O. WILL THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS MAKE DECISIONS ON WHAT
REGIONAL PROJECTS ARE CONSTRUCTED, I.E. TRANSPORTATION
PROJECTS?
A. The Council Of Governments may very well develop recommendations on plans
and proposals from other agencies and advocate those positions, i.e. the
Metropolitan Transportation Authority 30 -Year Plan. However, the Council Of
Governments will not have the authority to direct resources to the construction of
projects.
Q. WHY SHOULD A COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS BE CREATED WHEN WE HAVE
THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY ASSOCIATION OF'CITIES?
A. The San Gabriel Valley Association Of Cities is an informal group created many
years ago to serve as a forum for the exchange of ideas among elected officials.
The Association fulfilled this function admirably. Times have changed. The
current need is for a more formal, representative organization that is able to
conduct studies, build consensus, formulate recommendations and advocate
positions for the benefit of the San Gabriel Valley cities collectively.
Q. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE NEW ORGANIZATION?
A. The purpose of the new organization is to unify the San Gabriel Valley so that it
can speak with a collective voice on important subregional and regional issues.
The Council Of Governments, which will have an elected official from each city on
the policy body, will be representative and, as such, will be able to speak out on
issues that transcend city boundaries.
-2-
0. WHAT TYPES OF ISSUES WILL THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS DEAL WITH?
LAND USE? REDEVELOPMENT/ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT? LOCAL SERVICE
LEVELS?
A. The Technical Committee, which is made up of one staff person from each city
in the San Gabriel Valley subregional planning areas, the city managers COG
committee and the elected officials COG committee, have -identified the following
issues as candidates for attention by the Council Of Governments:
- Transportation Control Measures (TCM's)
- Transportation issues, including transit and surface transportation
- Air quality issues other than TCM's
- Congestion Management Program (CMP) issues
- Mandated programs (housing, air quality and waste management)
- Economic development issues
- Advocacy at all levels (agencies and the State and Federal government)
The Council Of Governments will ultimately address those issues that the cities
collectively decide to address.
Q. HOW WILL THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS BE STRUCTURED?
A. The Governing Board of Council Of Governments will consist of a Governing
Board Member and Alternate Governing Board Member appointed by the City
Council of each member city. There will also be a Technical Advisory Committee
made up of the city manager of each member city or his/her designee to provide
direct professional recommendations to the Governing Board. Other committees
will be appointed consisting of elected officials, city staff, representatives of other
agencies, business groups, consortiums, etc. to deal with specific issues.
Q. WILL THE SMALL CITIES LOSE CONTROL TO THE LARGE CITIES?
A. The Governing Board of the Council Of Government will function on a one vote
per city basis. Thus, the small cities will actually have an advantage over the
larger cities.
Q. WILL THE SMALL CITIES BE SENSITIVE TO THE LARGER CITY ISSUES?
A. The cities collectively will address subregional and regional issues that are agreed
upon by the policy body.
-3-
Q. WILL A MAJORITY OF THE CITIES IN THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS BE
ABLE TO IMPOSE THEIR WILL ON THE CITIES IN THE MINORITY ON ANY
PARTICULAR ISSUE?
A. No. The Council Of Governments will conduct studies, make recommendations
and advocate the implementation of those recommendations. The Council Of
Governments will have no power or ability to force any city to implement any
recommendations. It is, however, anticipated that the Council Of Governments will
develop a formal conflict resolution program that member cities may voluntarily
utilize to resolve differences.
Q. HOW WILL THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS BE
PAID FOR?
A. Through membership dues and grants.
O. WILL REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE MEMBER CITIES BE PAID A SALARY?
A. No.
Q. WHAT IF ALL THE CITIES IN THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY DON'T PARTICIPATE?
A. It is anticipated that all cities will participate, however, the formation documents
state that the Council Of Governments will become operational on March 1, 1994
if fifty percent plus one of the eligible public entities adopt the Joint Powers
Agreement by a majority vote of the legislative body of each eligible public entity
and sign the Agreement. If fifty percent plus one of the eligible public entities
have not signed the Agreement by March 1, 1994, then the effective date of the
Agreement shall be the first date on which fifty percent plus one of the eligible
public entities adopt and sign the Agreement. Cities that do not join the Council
Of Governments will not be represented on the Governing Board.
�. HOW CAN THE MEMBER CITIES BE SURE THIS ORGANIZATION WILL NOT
"RUN AMUCK?"
A. The aches of the organization will be directed by the Governing Board which
will be rude up of one Council Member from each member city. Activities of the
Council Of Governments will be limited to those that the Governing Board
authorizes.
Q. HOW CAN A CITY WITHDRAW FROM MEMBERSHIP?
A. By giving sixty days notice.
-4-
Q. WILL THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO SAVE
CITIES MONEY?
A. Yes. Often cities find it beneficial to conduct studies jointly on various topics. It
is often more efficient and effective to conduct one study for a number of cities
than it is to conduct a separate study for each city. This is evidenced by the fact
that nearly all cities in the San Gabriel Valley have, at one time or another,
benefitted from membership in a single -purpose Joint Powers Authority or other
similar organization.
