FEBRUARY 6, 1996 PAGE 7
disposal of solid waste, recyclables and compostable
materials has been regulated through a modified permit
system. This system, structured like a business
licensing system, requires any solid waste contractor
wishing to provide solid waste collection and disposal
services within the City to first obtain a permit from
Council authorizing them to provide such services. In
order to eliminate the redundancy that exists between the
City's enabling legislation and to establish a more
uniform standard for collection and disposal of solid
waste, recyclables and compostable materials, staff is
recommending adoption of the proposed Ordinance. First
reading took place on January 19, 1996.
Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City
Council approve, for second reading by title only, waive
full reading and adopt Ordinance No. 02(19.96) repealing

solid waste, recyclable and compostable materials.

9.3 DIAMOND RIDE - DIAL -A -CAB STATUS REPORT - The City
commenced the Diamond Ride Dial -A -Cab program even though
actual ridership was unknown. Through review of the
program's 8 1/2 months (April 18 through December 31) of
operation, several trends are apparent in the ridership.
With the increase of service provided by Dial -A -Cab,
there has been a dramatic increase in ridership, from 98
rides per month to 1,168 and 1192% increase. Council
reviewed the Dial -A -Cab program in September 1995 and
provided for an increase in funding and revised the
boundaries (from 10 miles to defined streets). However,
the number of trips is continuing to increase monthly, as
well as the cost. In reviewing ridership, there are
several passengers who are utilizing the program as their
means to work, thus compiling over 60 trips per month.
The program was designed to provide seniors and the
physically challenged quality transportation to medical
appointments, shopping and miscellaneous errands.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM

TO: Mayor and City Council via
Terrence Belanger, City Manager
FROM: Lynda Bur esCit
FR y g y Clerk
SUBJECT: Sea to Shining Sea
Attached is a copy of the list of signatures of those supporting
the presentation of the play "Sea to Shining Sea" at a Concert in
the Park on July 3, 1996.
cc: Community Services Director
3 Foreword
Here are songs that make you feel like you're part of a great
dream, and words that help you share in America's hope for the
whole world.
From Sea to Shining Sea takes off your hat to the past and rolls
up your sleeves for the future. It's about your heritage and your hope;
about gratitude in your heart ... and tomorrow in your eyes.
This project is the fulfillment of a career -long desire of mine, to
collaborate with my long-time and esteemed musical friend, Camp
Kirkland, who's the best there is. And all the team at Word have been
terrific in their creativity, from Richard Huggins and David Guthrie to
Terry Terry and Ken Barker.
R_ Take this musical as a challenge and a symbol, because America
still offers the chance to work hard at work worth doing. America: she
belongs to us and we belong to her. Sing it and say it together, ... from
sea to shining sea!

Synopsis
In this stirring work we are reminded again of the path of
faith followed by so many who had a hand in shaping America's
destiny. From those who sailed to our shores to those whose
hands forged our freedoms, we see that the generations that
preceded us established a rich legacy of liberty, one worthy of
preservation.
Our two narrators are joined by an observer from the past,
and through them we are struck by accounts of courage, inner
strength and reliance upon God for direction. With them we
reflect not only upon history but also upon the joys and
opportunities of the present and future America.
As the musical draws to a close it is apparent that our
confidence in God as the hope for our future is more valid than
ever before, and we•are challenged to pass His torch of liberty on
to the generations yet to come.

the public that are not already scheduled for consideration on
this agenda. Although the City Council values your comments,
pursuant to the Brown Act, the Council generally cannot take

SPEAKERS:
Roger Meyer, Crooked Creek Dr., spoke against the posting of a "No left -turn" sign
at the exit of Country Hills Towne Center onto Fountain Springs.
Marilyn McOwen, Sunbright Circle, presented a proposal for a church community
project and requested permission for a "Sea to Shining Sea" presentation during
July 3, 1996 Concert in the Park.
Valerie Chamberlain, Maple Hill Rd., supported "Sea to Shining Sea"
Dr. Tom Adams, Castlerock Rd., also supported presentation of "Sea to Shining
Sea."
Beth House, Harmony Hill, re: adoption of Resolution at last meeting prohibiting left
turns from the driveway leaving Country Hills Towne Center onto Fountain Springs.
Rose Birch, objected to election of C/Herrera and read poem about her deceased
son.
Nancy Villalobos, concerned about the City censoring of the church's presentation
of "Sea to Shining Sea."
Regarding the prohibition of left-hand turns from Country Hills Towne Center,
CM/Belanger explained that once the devices were put into place, they would be
evaluated as to function as well as to their impact on the neighborhood. Staff will
present a status report in March.
Regarding the "Sea to Shining Sea" presentation, CA/Jenkins stated that the group
had been offered the park for their presentation at any time. He had previously
advised Mr. Rose that a co-sponsored event between the City and the church would
violate the concept of separation of church and state. Would create an "excessive
entanglement between church and state" if the church were to sponsor a Concert
in the Park. Would be happy to provide a more comprehensive opinion. Religious
groups should be welcome to put on any presentation they wish in City parks at a
separate time.
Ms. McOwen felt that her organization could not provide a community event that
would reach as much of the community at another time. This would be a patriotic
musical, not just a play.
MPT/Huff suggested that the City Attorney prepare more comprehensive opinion.
C/Harmony suggested that the Parks & Recreation Commission analyze the script
of the presentation and make a recommendation.
CM/Belanger stated that the Commission previously evaluated the matter in the
context of the City Attorney's opinion.
C/Werner did not support spending further funds on another City opinion.
M/Ansari appointed a Council ad hoc subcommittee of C/Harmony and C/Werner
to evaluate the matter and work with the church group.
It was suggested that Dr. Lawrence Rhodes be included in the group to evaluate the
presentation.
Diane Anderson, representing the D.B. Chamber, announced the 4th annual benefit
auction to be held March 1, 1996 at 6:30 p.m. at the Shilo Inn.
5. COUNCIL COMENTS: Items raised by individual Council -
members are for Council discussion. Direction may be given at
this meeting or the item may be scheduled for action at a
future meeting.
MPT/HUFF - Stated that he participated in a Sheriff "ride -along" on Saturday, Feb.
3 and was present during the incident that took place at the D.B. Krikorian. He
stressed the involvement of parents in their children's activities.
Captain Larry Waldie reported that the incident involved an individual from another
area that caused a disturbance and he and another individual were arrested for
attempted murder on an off-duty police officer that night. He will have significant
enforcement in the area of the theatre for the next few weeks.
C/HARMONY- Reported on an opinion poll regarding economic development and
stated that The Acapulco was mistakenly reported as having gone out of business.
He felt that opinion polls have to be evaluated carefully. Regarding the "no left -turn"
sign onto Fountain Springs, he stated that several people ignored it recently and
that he could see that it adversely impacted the neighborhood.
C/HERRERA - Extended her sincere sympathies to Mrs. Birch. Met with Senior
Citizen club this a.m. and expressed the seniors' appreciation for the City's efforts.
Will be a meeting on Feb. 15, 1996 at Heritage Park re: Puente/Chino Hills National
FEBRUARY 6, 1996 PAGE 4
Heritage Corridor. Requested Council to consider meeting to prepare an evaluation
of the City Manager. She suggested Feb. 13 at her home for a Closed Session on
this matter. Would Council to establish goals by which to measure his future
performance.
C/Werner suggested using a process utilized by Council in the past wherein
Councilmembers completed a questionnaire type of form and shared their
comments with each other.
M/Ansari appointed an ad hoc subcommittee of MPT/Huff and C/Herrera to evaluate
the process to be used.
CMERNER - Announced that a slight increase in crime activities had taken place
in the last quarter. Particularly, robbery assaults and vandalism had increased.
Traffic categories had also risen in the last quarter. At a recent D.B. Chamber
Board meeting, concerns about the rumors about the closure of The Acapulco were
raised. Board thanked City for its support in putting the recent parade together for
the D.B. High School football team. Announced a Household Hazardous Waste
Collection event in Pico Rivera on Feb. 10 and Baldwin Park on Feb. 24. Xmas tree
collection was lower than last year mainly because many trees were contaminated.
Suggested policy development relating to acceptance of donated items.
MIANSARI - On January 17, 4 Councilmembers traveled to Sacramento to attend
hearing of Calif. Transportation Commission re 57/60 HOV lanes. She commended

9. OLD BUSINESS:
9.1 TIE VOTE BETWEEN CANDIDATES HERRERA AND SCHAD -
CM/Belanger reported that at the December 5, 1995 Meeting, both
Carol Herrera and Don Schad expressed a desire to have an election
to break the tie. Mr. Schad also indicated that he would like to be free
to pursue his legal options. Mr. Schad then filed a lawsuit and that a
hearing had been set to consider Mr. Schad's request that two ballots
should have counted.
CA/Jenkins indicated that the Elections Code requires that a tie vote
be decided by lot. In reviewing the "lot" or "run-off election" options,
he reported that the risks associated with pursuing a special run-off
election were the possibility of 1) civil action being brought against the
City either pre-election to restrain the election from going forward or
post-election to invalidate the results of that election; 2) criminal
remedies contained within the Elections Code for non-compliance.
Risks could be minimized by the candidates by agreeing to conduct
a special run-off election and waiving any rights they might have to
contest or challenge the procedure and the outcome of the procedure.
C1Ansari asked if the Council decided to determine the tie by lot,
would the January 18, 1996 hearing change the Council's decision.
CA/Jenkins advised that the Elections Code specifically provides that
if an election contest is properly conducted, a Judge may in fact set
aside Council's decision if the Council were to decide the matter by
lot.
C/Werner asked if the Council decided on a run-off election, what
would the possibility be of another tie and how would that be resolved.
CA/Jenkins stated that he has no idea if the run-off election would
result in a tie and if a tie happened during the run-off election, it would
be resolved in the same by lot.
Ron Everett stated that he favored a run-off election but because of
possible legal problems, the City may wish to utilize the services of
the Dispute Resolution Center in Claremont to settle the matter.
Wilbur Smith, 21630 Fairwind Ln., asked who would conduct the
process of determining by lot.
DECEMBER 19, 1995 PAGE 3
Don Schad, 1824 Shaded Wood Rd., explained that he requested a
court ruling on the matter because of the unusual circumstances
relating to breaking the tie. He further stated that he was not suing
the City, any candidate or the City Clerk.
Bill Key suggested that the City end the gridlock and decide by lot and
get back to work.
Carol Herrera stated that she was in favor of a run-off election and
would sign a legal agreement to abide by the results of that election.
If the City cannot conduct a run-off, she requested that the lot be
conducted immediately.
Max Maxwell, 3211 Bent Twig Ln., suggested waiting for the judge's
decision in January before the Council take action.
Steve Nice, Rising Star Dr., asked whether or not the City can require
a run-off election and if the City still withdraw from the election if there
is a Court decision that would pull one candidate ahead of another in
the November 7, 1995 election.
In regard to the Dispute Resolution Center suggestion, CA/Jenkins
explained that a dispute resolution center would not have the authority
to count and/or discount ballots voted in an election. With respect to
conduct of the lot, the Elections Code states that the lot is drawn or
conducted by the Elections Board (the City Council) but does not
prescribe the method by which it is accomplished which would then
be at the discretion of Council.
C/Werner moved, seconded by MPT/Huff to break the tie by way of
lottery immediately.
M/Ansari asked Mr. Schad if he would be willing to sign a waiver. Mr.
Schad indicated "no."
C/Harmony moved to amend C/Werner's motion to delay the drawing
of lots until after the court's consideration of the matter on January 18,
1996. He further moved to direct that the City not take any actions
to delay the hearing. Motion died for lack of a second.
With the following Roll Call vote, motion by C/Werner carried:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Harmony, Werner, MPT/Huff,
M/Ansari
NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None
ABSTAIN: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Papen
DECEMBER 19, 1995 PAGE 4
CM/Belanger recommended resolving the tie by having the
candidates place their names in an envelope and seal it themselves,
then pace the envelope themselves in a bag or some other opaque
receptacle. A designated person would then reach into the bag
without looking and withdraw an envelope.
MPT/Huff moved, seconded by M/Ansari to use the recommended
envelope method and to have Mr. Maxwell and Mr. Neely inspect the
envelopes to make sure that there are no visible signs of alterations
to the envelopes; place them into a bag and shaken, and then have
someone pick one.
M/Ansari amended the motion to include that a member of the
Sheriffs Dept. hold the bag and do the shaking.
MPT/Huff further amended the motion to include that the Mayor be
the person designated to withdraw the envelope from the bag and
concurred with M/Ansari's amendment.
C/Harmony suggested that both candidates meet and work out a
formal process with which they feel comfortable.
Motion by C/Werner, seconded by MPT/Huff to direct that M/Ansari
withdraw the envelope from the bag. Carried by the following Roll
Call vote:
AYES:
COUNCIL MEMBERS - Werner, MPT/Huff, M/Ansari

C/Papen asked for the floor to make an outgoing speech and stated
that she is very proud of the City's accomplishments. She advised
that she leaves the Council with a sense of pride and joy and wished
the new City Council good luck.
CC/Burgess distributed paper, pens and envelopes to both Mr. Schad
and Mrs. Herrera. Both were instructed to write their names on the
paper and hand the paper and envelope to their witness for sealing
DECEMBER 19, 1995 PAGE 5
and placement in an empty waste receptacle.
Mr. Schad chose not to participate in the lot and CA/Jenkins was
requested toarite Mr. Schad's name on Mr. Schad's paper.
Mr. Maxwell, acting as Mr. Schad's witness, announced that the
envelope given to him was empty. He then placed Mr. Schad's name
in the envelope, sealed the envelope and confirmed that there were
no markings on the envelope.
Mr. Neely, acting as Mrs. Herrera's witness, announced that the
envelope given to him was also empty. He placed Mrs. Herrera's
name in the envelope, sealed the envelope and confirmed that there
were no markings on the envelope.
M/Ansari asked Sergeant Landruff to shake the waste receptacle.
C/Werner asked that the contents of the waste receptacle not be
displayed on the television monitors due to the possibility of M/Ansari
being able to determine where the envelopes were.
M/Ansari removed herself from the room until the waste receptacle
was shaken.
M/Ansari then reached into the waste receptacle, which was held
above her head, opened an envelope and announced the new
Council Member as Carol Herrera. She asked Mr. Maxwell to open
the other envelope and read the name. She also asked the City Clerk
to read the chosen name.
At the request of C/Harmony, Mr. Maxwell opened the remaining
envelope and read the name "Schad."
For the record, Mr. Maxwell and Mr. Neely agreed that the procedure
was done accurately and correctly.
The Oath of Office was administered to Mrs. Herrera by
Assemblyman Gary Miller.
RECESS: M/Ansari recessed the meeting at 8:05 p.m.
RECONVENE: M/Ansari reconvened the meeting at 8:30 p.m.

DECEMBER 19, 1995 PAGE 6
Oscar Law, 21511 Pathfinder, stated that he has no objections to a
city funded Christmas party for the employees; however, he objected
to the City paying for employees' family members to participate in the
party.
9.2 ADOPTION OF RESOLUTIONS CALLING A SPECIAL MUNICIPAL
ELECTION TO BE HELD MARCH 26, 1996 FOR THE SUBMISSION
OF AN INITIATIVE MEASURE PROPOSED TO ADOPT A GENERAL
PLAN DOCUMENT:
a) RESOLUTION 95-72: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR, CALIFORNIA,
CALLING AND GIVING NOTICE OF THE HOLDING OF A
SPECIAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION ON TUESDAY, MARCH 26,
1996, FOR THE SUBMISSION OF A PROPOSED INITIATIVE
MEASURE - C/Werner offered alternative wording for
Resolution No. 95 -XX, page four as follows: "...along with
certain specified changes, repealing and replacing, the City's
current plan."
CA/Jenkins advised that the current wording does not have a
specific clause repealing the General Plan. He expressed
concern with using the word "repealing" because it does not
expressly do that; however, in effect, it would be a repealer
and replacement.
C/Werner requested that "as modified" be added to the portion
ending General Plan Advisory Committee.
Wilbur Smith asked the Council to pass the Resolutions and
allow the citizens to vote on the General Plan.
Dr. Lawrence Rhodes, Fiber Court, asked if the GPAC's final
version is a legal planning document.
Max Maxwell asked the Council to approve the Resolutions in
order for the people to vote on the matter. He suggested some
wording changes needed in the Resolutions.
Jack Gutowski, Kiowa Crest Dr., asked staff to stay out of the
election and to clearly write the initiative for the public to
understand.
In regard to Mr. Maxwell's concerns, CA/Jenkins advised that
the Resolution before the Council merely accomplishes the
goal of placing the initiative on the ballot. Further, that the third
DECEMBER 19, 1995 PAGE 7
"whereas" clause recites the fact that the Council has two
choices which include either adopting the General Plan or
placing it on the ballot.
C/Harmony complimented the City Attorney on his wording for
the initiative. He asked the Council to consider the less
expensive, newsprint sample ballot to help cut costs.
MPT/Huff concurred with C/Harmony's request in printing this
on newsprint; however, he was concerned that newsprint
would not reproduce maps. He asked what other options the
City has in placing the matter on the 1997 election.
CA/Jenkins explained that, per the Election Code, Council has
the option of requesting a special election and/or placing it on
the ballot at the next regular municipal election, which would
be November 1997.
MPT/Huff stated that he was not in favor of postponing this
issue for the 1997 election.
CM/Belanger advised that a special election would cost
approximately $75,000; however, if the City chooses to
consolidate this ballot initiative with the County's ballot, there
will be a reduced cost.
In response to C/Werner, Mr. Maxwell stated that he would like
to see it on the March ballot.
MPT/Huff moved, seconded by C/Werner to adopt
RESOLUTION NO. 95-72: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR, CALIFORNIA,
CALLING AND GIVING NOTICE OF THE HOLDING OF A
SPECIAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION ON TUESDAY, MARCH 26,

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR, CALIFORNIA,

ATTORNEY TO PREPARE AN IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS - In
response to C/Werner, CA/Jenkins stated that if the Council
wishes to authorize itself or any of its members to prepare an
argument, then now would be the time to do that. Further, if
the Council chooses not to, then the Elections Code contains
a panel of people who have priority to submit arguments in
favor and against.
C/Werner asked to write a statement against the initiative.
C/Harmony asked to write a statement in favor.
MPT/Huff asked to place his name with those against.

CM/Belanger asked the City Council to take action authorizing
the budget so that there is no question of the amount of money
that will be allocated. He stated that the budgeted amount is
approximately $73,000 for the election which included the cost
to print the entire initiative document, including arguments for
and against and rebuttals for and against, on newsprint in a
ballot pamphlet to be sent to all registered voters within the
community.
M/Ansari moved, seconded by C/Werner to'have the ballot
printed on the newsprint paper, the ballot pamphlet contain the
full text of the initiative General Plan, the City Attorney's
impartial analysis, two arguments for and against, two rebuttals
for and against, and front and back covers. With the following

Roll Call vote, motion carried:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Harmony, Herrera,
Werner,
MPT/Huff, M/Ansari
NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None
ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None
In response to M/Ansari, CM/Belanger advised that the Council
has the prerogative of placing other measures on the ballot
and suggested that a special meeting be held to address those
issues.
CA/Jenkins advised that the City has until December 29, 1995
in order to qualify any other matters for the March 26, 1996
primary ballot.
M/Ansari asked for the Council's consensus to adjourn the
meeting to a special meeting to discuss overnight parking,
term limits, voting by district and other issues for the March
1996 ballot.
Following discussion, it was agreed that these matters would
be discussed at further meetings for consideration of
placement on a ballot.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Clara Burch opposed the election of Carol
Herrera to the Council.
Max Maxwell objected to the independent analyses of the initiative issue and
asked why they were so expensive. He also asked why Tonner Canyon was
not discussed in the analysis.
Jack Gutowski asked if citizens would be allowed to participate in writing
arguments for and against the General Plan.
CM/Belanger advised that the $73,000 ballot cost is based on estimates of
costs received from a firm that specializes in printing of election materials.
The estimated cost for the consolidated election is based on the City's
experiences with other consolidated elections. He recommended not using
any other printer to prepare these materials. In regard to the independent
analyses, he reported that the dollar amount proposed included the
Economic Analysis and the Planning Analysis. He speculated that Tonner
Canyon was not discussed in the report because it is not within City Limits.
5. COUNCIL COMMENTS: C/Herrera announced that she was pleased to be
DECEMBER 19, 1995 PAGE 11
sitting on the Council and that she was looking forward to opportunities to
work with the citizens that supported other candidates. In regard to Clara
Burch's comments, she stated that she sympathized with her and her family.
C/Werner welcomed C/Herrera and wished everyone a safe and happy
holiday season.
C/Harmony welcomed C/Herrera and promised that he would work with the
City toward economic development; however, he would make sure that
neighborhoods are not disturbed by businesses.
MPT/Huff welcomed C/Herrera and complimented staff in keeping employee
numbers low. He suggested that all citizens read the General Plan before
voting. In regard to the staff Christmas party, he stated that he was in favor
of the party which was a way of showing thanks to staff for their hard work.
He reminded everyone that the deadline for comments on the MRF EIR is
December 23, 1995. He the announced that the Diamond Bar Brahmas took
the CIF championship. He asked that everyone support the construction of
Diamond Ranch High School.

there are four seats available for the Rose Parade in Pasadena; that the

10. NEW BUSINESS:
10.2 NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC STUDY - CM/Belanger reported that the traffic
study was completed by DKS Assoc. in the Heritage Home area bounded by
Pathfinder, Brea Canyon and D.B. Blvd.
CE/Wentz summarized the general content of the study and how it was
studied. He explained that the goal of the study was to identify potential
mitigation and to address various traffic concerns. The study brought
forward three general categories of mitigation: 1) potential signing and traffic
control; 2) possible street modifications to influence driving patterns; and 3)
potential barriers affecting traffic patterns through that area and restricting
certain kinds of traffic movement.
Doug Smith, DKS Assoc., reviewed the three mitigation areas that should be
considered. A neighborhood questionnaire was sent to residents who
responded that their major concerns were speeding and requesting more
stop signs. DKS' recommendations were consistent with City staffs to
implement Plan 1, Part 1 as an initial mitigation to the neighborhood traffic
problems and monitor improvements and changes in traffic patterns to
determine if implementation of Part 2, a "choker" would be necessary.
In response to MPT/Huff, Mr. Smith advised that in his experience, a
minimum of three months would show changes in traffic patterns; however,
if the changes are not working, the City will hear from the residents. In
regard to the "choker," he advised that this will discourage through traffic and
will slow it down in front of residences where the "choker" is located. He
further reported that figures don't currently exist showing numbers of local
drivers vs. cut -through drivers. He defined cut -through traffic as
unnecessary traffic using neighborhood streets in order to avoid other traffic.
Residents complained more about speed and parking violations than cut -
through traffic.
C/Herrera asked how many questionnaires were mailed to the residents.
She also asked how the "chokers" would meet fire department standards
regarding safety and if the local fire department had reviewed them.
Mr. Smith explained. that between 600-650 questionnaires were mailed to
neighborhood residents and that 10% were responded to the first time with
6.3% received the second time. In regard to fire department standards, he
stated that there is a minimum width requirement to allow fire trucks to get
in and out of the neighborhood. The "choker" would be painted red to
prohibit parking.
With regard to the Country Hills Towne Center driveway onto Fountain
JANUARY 9, 1996 PAGE 6
Springs, C/Harmony asked if that driveway would be changed to a "right turn
only." He also asked if there was any difference in the report that was
completed on November 6, 1995 and the Planning Commission's review of
the report and recommendations on August 10. Further, would it be possible
to limit part of Plan 1, Phase 2 to only build one "choker" and come back
later for further recommendations.
Mr. Smith advised that left turns would be prohibited from the driveway of
Country Hills Towne Center onto Fountain Spring. No significant changes
or recommendations were made by the Planning Commission that differed
from their report. He did not recommend installation of only one "choker"
between Sunbright and Castlerock because it may create additional turning
movements throughout the neighborhood.
DPWD/Liu stated that difference between DKS' report and the Planning
Commission report was to the appendix.
In response to M/Ansari, DPWD/Liu explained that the first workshop was
held in April 1995 with approximately 20 residents and the second workshop
had approximately 10 residents.
C/Werner asked staff if the notice for the Council meeting provided enough
detail to residents that these "chokers" could be located in front of their
homes. If the City is going to that extent in improvements, he recommended
that a public hearing be held with specific notice to area residents explaining
where "chokers" would be located. He asked whether or not the
recommendations were evaluated for their impact on the General Plan as
well as for general impact on traffic, access, noise, etc.
DPWD/Liu advised that specific details were not given to the residents.
CM/Belanger explained that the report had been presented to the Planning
Commission and that no environmental assessment had been prepared.
Mr. Smith advised that 50 ft. of parking on each side of the street would be
lost due to construction of a "choker."
C/Werner asked how school pedestrian traffic would fit into this study.
Mr. Smith advised that pedestrian traffic was not counted; however, school
crossing areas were noted.
M/Ansari stated that a study group should be developed for Council's
extensive investigation.
JANUARY 9, 1996 PAGE 7
MPT/Huff asked why the matter took so long to get to Council when the
Traffic & Transportation Commission reviewed it in August 1995. He also
asked if the Traffic Commission requested to see the whereabouts of the
"chokers."
DPWD/Liu responded that the last time the Traffic & Transportation
Commission reviewed the study was in August 1995; however, subsequent
meetings were held with only residents and not the Commission. Traffic
Commissioners did not visit the location of the "chokers;" but they did review
the report and how they will be installed.
Kevin House, 2536 Harmony Hill Dr., advised that he never received any
notification from the City in regard to this issue. He stated that there is a
speeding problem in the area; however, some of these changes are drastic.
He pointed out his home on the map.
Ted Cross, 21310 Hidden Pines, supported both Plan I, Phases I & 2 to help
reduce cut -through traffic and speeding vehicles.
With regard to Mr. Cross' comments, C/Werner asked about the volume of
cut -through traffic and speed occurring through that residential area.
Mr. Cross advised that the problem is both cut -through traffic and speed on
a regular basis.
Craig Klute, Fountain Springs, stated that during the 1-1/2 year committee
meetings, DKS was not involved in any of the meetings. He expressed
concern that DKS recommended something other than what was
recommended to the Traffic & Transportation Commission. He thanked the
City and staff for their patience and concerns over this matter. He asked
Council to implement Plan I, Phases I & 2. He further recommended other
options for traffic in and out of the residential area.
Earl Cox, 3051 Crooked Creek Dr., supported Plan I, Phases I & 2 and
stated that he had seen other neighborhood "chokers" and that they looked
and positive for a neighborhood.
Grace Kohl, 2632 Castlerock Rd., supported Plan I, Phases I & 2.
Roger Myers, 2634 Crooked Creek Dr., was opposed to the "chokers" and
asked Council to consider stop signs as a way to lessen traffic.
Don Tice, 21341 Fountain Spring, stated that recommendations made by
DKS were reasonable and that he supported Plan I, with a short evaluation
period for traffic and speed limits. After the evaluation period, then consider
JANUARY 9, 1996 PAGE 8
the "chokers," if necessary.
Frank Dursa did not support the recommendation by DKS.
Linda McElvane, 2904 Crooked Creek, also supported the recommendations
made by DKS.
Max Maxwell advised that he lives east of D.B. Blvd. and that Cold Spring is
the only entrance/exit from Diamond Ridge development. He asked if DKS
could perform a study of how many Chino Hill residents cut -through this
neighborhood and look into restricting the freeway off -ramps.
Richard Callard stated that the DKS plan is very cosmetic. He asked the
Council to consider speed bumps before "chokers."
With regard to' Mr. Callard's speed bump request, CM/Belanger advised that
DKS did not recommend the use of speed bumps as a traffic control
measure.
Mr. Callard clarified his comment in constructing speed bumps now and if
they do not solve the problem, remove them and replace them with the
"chokers."
Earl Cox stated that speed bumps are rarely used because of liability issues
and lawsuits associated with the location of speed bumps. He further stated
that this alternative was discussed during the meetings.
C/Werner suggested that the Council consider staffs recommendations and
implement more aggressive actions as needed. He felt that DKS' report was
not convincing of the need for more aggressive measures at this time.
Further, staff should coordinate more aggressively with WVUSD for new
street striping and speed limit signs posted near and around the schools.
M/Ansari stated that she would support Plan 1 with further studies and
coordination with WVUSD. She suggested that Council hold workshops to
get more information on the traffic and the solutions.
MPT/Huff stated that even without cut -through traffic, the neighborhood
would still be subjected to traffic due to the shopping center and schools. He
supported implementation of Plan I, Phase I immediately and that a
workshop be held within six months to discuss how the traffic has been
reduced and if further aggressive steps are needed.
C/Herrera also supported Plan I, Phase I and recommended also requested
that during the Council's workshops the Fire Department should be asked to
JANUARY 9, 1996 PAGE 9
comment on "chokers."
C/Werner moved, C/Harmony seconded to adopt Resolution No. 96-02

crosswalks consistent with the school plan.
MPT/Huff amended the motion to begin the improvement immediately with
a six-month review.
CM/Belanger stated that Section 5 also needs to be added to the Resolution
as follows: "The City Council hereby finds that the proposed traffic mitigation
measures as outlined in Part One of Plan I are categorically exempt pursuant
to Section 15301(c) of the State EIR Guidelines." He advised that an
environmental assessment is needed for conformance with the General Plan.

8.1 RESOLUTION NO. 96-01: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR APPROVING THE CITY'S COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM FOR FISCAL YEAR 1996-97 -
CDD/DeStefano reported that the City receives an allocation of federal funds
each year as part of our role in providing benefits to persons of low and
moderate income. The City expects to receive approximately $387,000 in
federal funds this year as a participant in the 1996-97 L.A. Urban County
Community Development Block Grant Program. In addition, the City has
approximately $115,000 in unallocated funds from last year, for a total
allocation this year of $502,000. The use of the CDBG funds must meet a
number of primary national objectives which include benefitting low and
moderate income persons, addressing slums, meeting a particular urgent
community development need. Proposed recommendations for 1996/97
DBG funding were: 1) Project Sister Sexual Assault Prevention requested
$1,000; staff recommended $1,000 to educate seniors; 2) Boy Scouts of
America requested $5,000; staff recommended $4,000 for an additional
Adventure Mountain Camp for approximately 16-20 low and moderate
income children not already involved in scouting; 3) the Mature Senior Club
requested $15,000; staff recommended $0 for facility improvements for the
Diamond Pointe One Club; 4) the City's Senior Program requested $54,000;
staff recommended $35,000 to provide senior activities, classes, referrals
and special events; 5) the YMCA requested $34,000; staff requested

requested $15,000; staff recommended $15,000 to provide the summer off-
track program for up to 30 families monthly; 7) WVUSD requested $30,000;
staff recommended $0 to provide a library research training facility/career
path for students at Del Paso High School. Administration for these programs
would require $38,700; Public Works Department requested $240,000; staff
recommended $112,000 to fund construction of sidewalks at a number of
locations throughout the City; Public Works Department requested $37,000;
staff recommended $37,000 for construction of handicap access ramps;
Community Services requested $230,000; staff recommended $230,000 to
construct handicap access, playgrounds and related components; with a
subtotal of $367,000.
M/Ansari asked if there is a time limit in which the $115,000 unallocated
funds must be spent.
CDD/DeStefano advised that the federal government wants the City to spend
the funds in one year; otherwise, those funds will be reallocated for the next
year and if they are not utilized within three years, the federal government
will take them back.
M/Ansari opened the Public Hearing.
JANUARY 9, 1996 PAGE 11
Mr. Stevens, Del Paso High School, thanked the City for considering their
revised proposal. He reported that the program addresses a number of
issues and needs for students to make the transition from school to career
and provide students with training and experiences in a library tech path.
C/Werner asked what type of contributions have been made of the City of
Walnut. He also asked what of ratio of students come from D.B. versus
Walnut.
Mr. Stevens advised that there has been no request for any funding from the
City of Walnut and that the school district would not be funding this project.
He stated that 50% of the students at Del Paso are D.B. residents.
C/Werner asked staff if these funds need to be tracked for D.B. students.
CDD/DeStefano advised that the funds need to be tracked very carefully and
that this is an issue that needs to be worked out.
In response to M/Ansari, CDD/DeStefano advised that February 8 is the cut-
off date in order to submit an application to the Community Development
Commission.
Ivorene Rowe, Project Sister, thanked the City for providing the $1,000 to
continue the program and establish a seniors program within the City. She
reported that D.B. seniors received packets of information that will allow
them to mobilize rather than be victimized.
Erin Sutton, Boy Scouts, reported that the Boy Scouts project serves
approximately 10,000 youths from Fontana to D.B. The mission is to
develop character, citizenship and physical and mental fitness in youth. The
grant money will help build a new camp for low to moderate income boys.
Allison Myers, Childcare Director, YMCA Childcare, explained that the YMCA
had been a major childcare provider in the community for 16 years. The
service provides a necessary need by providing safe, quality, affordable
childcare to those children that would be known as "latchkey kids." The goal
of this program is to raise self-esteem and strengthen families.
With no further testimony offered, M/Ansari closed the Public Hearing.
Gary Neely requested that funds be allocated to the back hill clean up at
Lorbeer Junior High School.
Martha Bruske, 600 S. Great Bend, did not support the City funding Del Paso
High School.
JANUARY 9, 1996 PAGE 12
MPT/Huff asked staff if the City can approach the parents who are cleaning
up the back hill at Lorbeer Junior High School.
CM/Belanger advised that he will make contact to those parents who are
doing the clean up.
C/Herrera asked if the Public Works and Community Development Services
requests are fixed budgets.
CM/Belanger stated that these projects may come under budget and the
monies would be rolled over into the next year.
C/Werner asked why housing and/or rehabilitation is not included in the
CDBG proposed programs.
CDD/DeStefano advised that the City is involved with the housing program.
Administrative Assistant Kellee Fritzal reported that "HOME" funds are used
for the housing rehabilitation program and five homes have been funded
within the last two years. The City has a home funding program similar to
the CDBG program.

9.1 REQUEST BY DIAMOND BAR SISTER CITY INC. TO ESTABLISH A
SISTER CITY RELATIONSHIP WITH SANSHIA, TAIWAN - CM/Belanger
stated that a request was made by the Sister City Committee to recognize
a city in Taiwan, Republic of China. He recommended that Council create
an ad hoc subcommittee to evaluate the request and have the sub-
committee make a recommendation.
Richard Callard, Multi -Cultural Committee, presented a letter from WVUSD
supporting a sister city relationship between the City and Sanshia, Taiwan,
Republic of China. Mr. Callard stated that a committee had been formed to
JANUARY 9, 1996 PAGE 13
compile a list of desired characteristics for a compatible sister city.
In response to M/Ansari, Mr. Callard stated that several Councilmembers are
associate members and are not involved in the voting process for the
selection of a sister city.
C/Herrera requested additional information on membership and stated that
she supported an ad hoc subcommittee to better inform the City of this sister
city recommendation.
Mr. Callard advised that the Sister City committee presently has 45 members
and that all available information has been given to the Council. A
subcommittee would only add more time to this simple matter.
C/Werner thanked Mr. Callard for his efforts in looking to create a sister city
relationship for D.B. He supported formation of an ad hoc sub -committee to
keep the Council informed. He asked what the cost is and if any monies
would be provided by the City. He further asked if Sanshia, Taiwan is the
only city recommended to establish a relationship and if the city is
recommended by the Taiwanese government.
Mr. Callard advised that no City monies would be spent for this project as
all funds come from donations to the committee. Several countries and five
cities in Taiwan were researched and it was determined that Sanshia would
be the best Sister City for D.B. The Taiwanese government recommended
another city that had no compatibilities with the City; therefore, the
committee chose Sanshia. The Taiwanese government did not reject this
choice.
Martha Bruske expressed concern that the school district is involved with the
use of taxpayer monies. She asked the Council to look at all documents
before authorizing this project. She does not feel that D.B. is ready for a
sister city.
Max Maxwell stated that it is Mr. Callard's responsibility to advise the Council
and residents of the status of the Sister City Committee.
M/Ansari stated that Council should consider staffs recommendation to form
an ad hoc sub -committee to evaluate and get more information on the Sister
City.
C/Harmony moved, seconded by C/Herrera to create an ad hoc sub-
committee to evaluate the Sister City request and make a recommendation
to Council. With the following Roll Call vote, motion carried:

a public vote every time there is a change.
MPT/Huff agreed with C/Harmony's comments in that Mr. Maxwell's General
Plan version is flawed and that the City needs a balance between country
living and economic development. If it's the people's choice for country
living, then they are telling businesses that they do not want economic
growth. He cautioned that taxes may need to be increased if everything
can't be kept in balance.
C/Herrera supported adoption of the Resolution and felt that people signed
the initiative petitions not knowing that this General Plan would be going on
the ballot but rather that this petition would save Tonner Canyon. She
agreed with MPT/Huff that there needs to be an equal balance in order to
bring in revenue to replace what the City will be missing.

9.2 ORDINANCE NO. 01(1996): AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR DECLARING A NEED FOR A
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY TO FUNCTION IN THE CITY OF DIAMOND
BAR - CM/Belanger reported that redevelopment is a strategy recommended
in each version of the General Plan as a tool for the community to enhance
the economic and physical environment through the redevelopment process.
He recommended that Council establish a redevelopment agency for the
purpose of providing a legal entity with which the City can enter into an
agreement for funding necessary studies to determine the feasibility of
redevelopment. He advised that the second reading of this Ordinance would
occur on February 6, 1996 and then the redevelopment agency would
become effective 30 days thereafter.

revenues and attracting a more economic development.
In response to C/Harmony, CM/Belanger advised that there is no estimate
on the cost of a study at this time; however, staffs recommendation is to
solicit proposals. $100,000 has been budgeted in the past for economic
development.
C/Harmony stated that the last redevelopment study cost approximately
$20,000 for a two-week process. He stated that he is against using
redevelopment funds for development of Tonner Canyon's highway and
Sandstone Canyon or any other development that would not pertain to the
City.
M/Ansari agreed with C/Harmony's concerns.
MPT/Huff stated that he would not like to see the City displace faithful
merchants and suggested that the report focus on the Grand/Golden Springs
commercial area.
C/Werner reported that he did not recommend the use of any particular
funds for development of any highways.
C/Herrera moved, seconded by C/Werner to approve First Reading by title
only of Ordinance No. 01(1996): AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR DECLARING A NEED FOR A
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY TO FUNCTION IN THE CITY OF DIAMOND
BAR. With the following Roll Call vote, motion carried:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Herrera, Werner, MPT/Huff,
M/Ansari
NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Harmony
ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None
9.3 REORGANIZATION OF CITY COUNCIL AGENDA - M/Ansari reported that
a survey was completed of neighboring cities regarding their agenda
formatfoutlines. She expressed concern that some Council members were
speaking too long and she felt that the Council Comments should be limited
to five minutes.
MPT/Huff requested that Council Comments be placed at the end of the
Agenda and limited to five minutes; suggested placing a "Greeter" outside
of the auditorium to greet newcomers and give them the procedures of the
meeting, and throughout the community have specific areas where the public
can make their comments and/or recommendations to Council without having
to be at the meeting. He further suggested reinstating the invocation after
the Pledge of Allegiance.
JANUARY 16, 1996
PAGE 8
C/Werner agreed with MPT/Huffs recommendations but did not support
reinstatement of the invocation. He suggested that if Council Comments are
placed at the end of the agenda, then Public Comments should also be
placed at the end. Rather than changing the agenda, he suggested that the
Mayor use her authority to exercise discretion in limiting or grouping the
Public Comment as well as give her the authority to suspend Public
Comment to the end of the agenda there is a lot of business that needs to
be addressed.
C/Herrera recommended the following changes: Council Comments be
placed at the end of the agenda and limited to five minutes, allow a
maximum of 1/2 hour on Public Comments, and provide supporting
documents for upcoming agendas to the Council two weeks prior to that
meeting.
C/Harmony stated that Public and Council Comments are the most important
events during Council meetings. He did not support any change to the
agenda; however, he would support limiting Council Comments to five
minutes as well as reinstatement of the invocation. He supported the idea
of a "Greeter" at the entrance of the auditorium with two or three complete
agenda packets with all supporting documents available for public
inspection.
M/Ansari supported the flexibility of being able to move the agenda around
and indicated that she is fine either way if Council wanted to reinstate the
invocation.
C/Herrera asked if approval of the agenda would be appropriate in order to
provide the Council with more flexibility in taking items that are needed on
a rush basis.
CM/Belanger advised that approval of the agenda is not a required policy
and the agenda is taken as the agenda is proposed.
Max Maxwell, 3211 Bent Twig Ln., supported Council's ideas and suggested
that the Agenda start Public Comments at 9:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and/or at
the end of the agenda.
Tom Van Winkle expressed frustration that the public does not get feedback
from Council when the public speaks and persons often have to wait two
weeks before having a chance to rebut Council Comments. He suggested
that the council make their comments in the beginning of each agenda item
so that the public knows the Council's point of view for the publics'
comments.
With regard to Mr. Van Winkle's comments, Steve Nice, Rising Star Dr.,
JANUARY 16, 1996 PAGE 9
agreed with the frustration of not knowing the direction Council is headed in.
He suggested that not so many items be placed on the agenda and to leave
Public Comments at the front of the agenda.
MPT/Huff read a letter from Wanda Tanaka dated December 6, 1996 which
suggested that Public Comments and Council Comments be placed at the
end of the meeting. With regard to C/Harmony's suggestions, he supported
having two -three full sets of the agenda with backup data available for the
public.
C/Harmony suggested that during Public Comments, if any of the public has
questions, staff should respond at that time.
With regard to Mr. Nice's comments, C/Herrera agreed that the agenda
needs to pace the meeting in a better way and asked Council if they wanted
to consider limiting the time for any particular agenda topic.
C/Werner suggested that M/Ansari discuss all of the above suggestions with
the City Manager and staff and come back and present a proposal to
Council.
With consensus of Council, M/Ansari stated that she would take all
comments under consideration and discuss the matter with the City Manager
and staff for preparation of a proposal.
10. NEW BUSINESS:
10.1 ORDINANCE NO. 02(1996) - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR REPEALING ORDINANCE 02(1990) AND
ORDINANCE 02A (1990) AS HERETOFORE ADOPTED AND REVISING
CHAPTER 8.16, TITLE 8 OF THE DIAMOND BAR MUNICIPAL CODE
ADOPTING REQUIREMENTS AND STANDARDS RELATING TO THE
COLLECTION, RECYCLING, TRANSPORTATION, AND DISPOSAL OF
SOLID WASTE, RECYCLABLE AND COMPOSTABLE MATERIALS - Ass't.
to CM/Butzlaff reported that in 1990, Council adopted an Ordinance creating
standards and regulations for solid waste collection and disposal. He stated
that staffs current commendation included changes to the Ordinance such
as extending the time period by which recyclable materials can be stored
from one to two weeks, eliminating the requirement for fingerprinting of
permitted employees, eliminating the requirement for a revokable cash
deposit of $20,000 and modifying the requirements of certain "no charge"
collection services currently provided by the permitted haulers.
In response to C/Harmony, Ass't to CM/Butzlaff stated that it will probably
make the competition greater because some of the restrictions are being
lifted.
JANUARY 16, 1996 PAGE 10
Tom Van Winkle asked if there had been any discussion on getting the
current two trash haulers to pick up on the same day in any given
neighborhood.
Ass't. to CM/Butzlaff explained that this became an issue a year ago when
Western Waste Industries decided to change their collection schedule from
one day a week to five. Staff met with Western Waste on numerous
occasions to discuss changing back to one day a week; however, Western
continued with a five day collection schedule. The Council has the authority,
under Section 8.16.050, to regulate by Resolution the days of the week and
the hours of collection of the permittee.
M/Ansari announced that since she and MPT/Huff were on the MRF sub-
committee, they will work with staff and the waste haulers to change the day
for trash collection.
C/Werner moved, seconded by C/Herrera to waive full reading and approve
first reading of ORDINANCE NO. 02(1996) entitled: AN ORDINANCE OF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR REPEALING
ORDINANCE 02(1990) AND ORDINANCE 02A (1990) AS HERETOFORE
ADOPTED AND REVISING CHAPTER 8.16, TITLE 8 OF THE DIAMOND
BAR MUNICIPAL CODE ADOPTING REQUIREMENTS AND STANDARDS
RELATING TO THE COLLECTION, RECYCLING, TRANSPORTATION,
AND DISPOSAL OF SOLID WASTE, RECYCLABLE AND COMPOSTABLE
MATERIALS. With the following Roll Call vote, motion carried:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Harmony, Herrera, Werner, MPT/
Huff, M/Ansari
NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None
ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None
10.2 CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION -LIMITATION - CM/Belanger reported that
study of this matter was requested by members of the Council.
In response to C/Werner, CM/Belanger clarified that the restriction would
limit donations to $500 per individual.
In response to C/Harmony's question regarding Prop. 73 regarding mass
mailings, CA/Jenkins advised that there are prohibitions and regulations and
State laws in regard to what types of mass mailings may go out to more than
200 persons at public expense and under what circumstances council
members names and pictures may or may not appear in those mass
mailings. With respect to campaign contributions, Prop. 73 was stricken by
the courts and is not in effect. Constitutional rules regarding campaign
contribution limits are as follows: 1) it is constitutional and lawful for a local
agency in California to impose limits on contributions to campaigns by
nu����,��� °���I,
JANUARY 16, 1996 PAGE 11
individuals, by pacs, to candidates, or to independent organizations; 2) it is
unconstitutional to control total overall expenditures by candidates running
for office.
In response to C/Harmony, CA/Jenkins advised that he will have to report
back on the rationale of the Federal Courts that struck most of the provisions
reg9rding campaign contributions.
C/Harmony asked how photocopying, mailings, etc. is regulated in dollar
amounts.
CA/Jenkins stated that if the contribution consists of producing, printing,
mailing a campaign piece, that is a non -monetary type of contribution which
would be subject to regulation and reportable.
CM/Belanger explained that statutes currently in place and enforced by the
Fair Political Practices Commission is the law which the City of D.B. follows.
A complaint would have to be made to either the FPPC or District Attorney.
If Council chooses to set up a local law for campaign contribution
regulations, then the responsibility for any laws broken would be handled
locally. This local law will only apply to municipal campaigns.
MPT/Huff felt that the Ordinance should remain simple but that limits should
be placed on how much comes into a campaign. He volunteered to be on
the subcommittee for this issue.
Steve Nice, Rising Star Dr., felt that, when there is an election, everyone
should be on a level playing field. He also volunteered as a participant on
the subcommittee.
C/Werner stated that staff does not need to get anymore involved with this
issue. There are regulations under the Government Code and the City
should stay out of enforcing campaign limits.
MPT/Huff asked C/Werner if he would be opposed to restricting an elected
official from voting for two years on a project proposed by an individual who
donated $2,000 or more to that official's campaign.
C/Werner stated that he has no problem with that issue; however, time limits
should be discussed.
CA/Jenkins reported that, State law, the receipt of a political contribution in
whatever amount does not create a conflict of interest.
In response to C/Werner regarding enforcement, CA/Jenkins advised that
if it's a criminal act, then it would be enforced by the District Attorney or a
JANUARY 16, 1996 PAGE 12
designated City Prosecutor. If the City has an ordinance regulating any
aspect of campaign limits/contribution limits, it is the City's responsibility to
enforce, prosecute and advise the City Attorney.
M/Ansari stated that this issue comes up every election and an ad hoc
committee is needed for public comments.
CA/Jenkins reviewed the District Attorneys duties in prosecuting candidates
that have broken the law and he advised that it should never be up to the
Council to take this type of matter into closed session and choose to
prosecute someone for breaking campaign laws.
As a result of CA/Jenkins' comments, MPT/Huff agreed with C/Werner to
remain with current laws for campaign contribution limitations. He requested
that his name be withdrawn from the ad-hoc committee.
With consensus of Council, this matter was tabled until the next election.
10.3 DISCUSSION RE: APPOINTMENT OF EX -OFFICIO YOUTH MEMBERS
ON TRAFFIC & TRANSPORTATION, PARKS & RECREATION AND
PLANNING COMMISSIONS FROM THE POMONA AND WALNUT VALLEY
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICTS - CM/Belanger advised that this matter was
requested by Council for discussion and determining the membership of the
Council's various commissions.
M/Ansari stated that, in speaking with other cities, she learned that they had
youth members on some commissions which brought a different perspective
to the committees and a different public viewpoint.
MPT/Huff asked how would these persons be chosen and what age. He
suggested that the Commissions' input is needed before any decisions are
made. He stated that he is in favor of incorporating our youth into our local
government.
C/Harmony commented that he is not opposed to paying a small stipend.
Mike Goldenberg, Parks & Recreation Commission, stated that none of the
commissioners that he is currently working with has any problems with
getting ideas from the youth or anyone; however, he felt that if room were
provided for youth, then other groups within the City would expect the same.
C/Werner complimented M/Ansari for the idea of providing local youth with
more city government involvement but agreed that Commission input should
be obtained prior to the Council's decision. In addition, he suggested, as an
alternative, a career day for youth.
JANUARY 16, 1996 PAGE 13
With consensus of Council, this matter was referred to the Commissions.
11. ANNOUNCEMENTS: In regard to the Christmas tree pick up program,
M/Ansari announced that staff contacted both permitted waste companies to
discuss their current operations for collection. Each company indicated that they
normally send a separate vehicle to collect trees; however, they may occasionally
come upon a tree that is contaminated with flocking, stands, etc. and cannot be
used by the landfill operator; therefore, a regular waste hauler may pick it up.
12. ADJOURNMENT: With no further business to discuss, M/Ansari adjourned the
meeting at 9:46 p.m. in memory of Harry Goldenberg.

II. COMMISSION COMMENTS:
VC/Leonard presented a letter to staff from a citizen
of Diamond Bar which addressed the issue of the
east/west left turn on to Grand Avenue at Diamond Bar
Boulevard. The Commission concurred that this item
should be placed on the agenda for a future meeting.
III. PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Craig Clute, 21217 Fountain Springs Road, reiterated
his concerns regarding the traffic considerations for
the Calvary Chapel located on Golden Springs Drive
south of Grand Avenue; striping on the south side of
Pathfinder Road bridge and the illegal parking east of
the bridge; the lack of enforcement of 25 MPH speed
limit in the Heritage Park area, and the cart racks
installed in the fire lanes in front of K -Mart. He
further stated his concerns regarding on/off site pick-
up/drop off points for public schools in his
neighborhood. He again requested increased traffic
enforcement. He asked the Commission to consider an
agenda item to address the need to increase traffic
enforcement.
Chair/Istik responded that traffic enforcement is being
considered by the City Council.
Sgt. Rawlings responded to C/Gravdahl that he would
investigate enforcement of the restricted parking area
east of Pathfinder Road bridge. He stated that the
Calvary Chapel parking issue is being addressed. A new

parking facility has been installed at the site and the
traffic flow is being monitored.
C/Ortiz made a motion, seconded by VC/Leonard to place
Mr. Clute's items of concern on the agenda for a future
commission meeting. Without objection, the commission
concurred. DDPW/Liu stated the items would be placed
on the January agenda as informational items.
Sgt. Rawlings responded to Chair/Istik that the
enforcement index is a ratio of the number of injury
traffic accidents to the number of hazardous citations
issued in any given jurisdiction. Statistics are
calculated monthly for each of the contract cities.
The recommended ratio is 20:1. Anything above 20:1 is
considered good and 30:1 is considered to be
outstanding. Diamond Bar consistently exceeds a 60:1
ratio. The October ratio for Diamond Bar is 75:1. Any
statement that the Sheriff's Department is under
enforcing the City is ludicrous based on the
statistics. In fact, a case could be made for over
enforcement in Diamond Bar.
DDPW/Liu responded to Mr. Clute that the City is
currently processing a request to obtain an
encroachment permit from CalTrans for the striping of
Pathfinder Bridge. The item will be brought back to
the Traffic and Transportation. Regarding the shopping
cart racks at the K -Mart shopping center, the fire
station has been contacted to respond to the complaint.
The City will follow up to see what action has been
taken and report back to the Commission.
CONSENT CALENDAR - None
OLD BUSINESS
A. Installation of signs to prohibit parking during
street sweeping days.
Recommended Action: Provide input regarding the
installation of signs to prohibit parking during
street sweeping days.
DDPW/Liu read the report into the record. He
indicated that staff feels that signage is cost
prohibitive. In addition, signage would be
November 9, 1995 Page 4 TAT Commission
ineffective because of the bi-weekly schedule.
Staff proposes public education. The Winter issue
of Diamond Bar newsletter will contain an article
which requests voluntary participation by the
residents. As a second tier of public education,
the City will ask the trash pickup companies to
enclose a flyer with the monthly billings which
will indicate the street sweeping schedule. The
third tier of public education would be to have
the street sweeping company place temporary "no -
parking" signs on effected streets 24 hours in
advance of activity. A final option is to contact
the Sheriff's Department to enforce compliance.
Chair/Istik made a motion, seconded by C/Gravdahl
that the Commission recommend to the City Council
that the City identify problem areas, request
voluntary compliance and report back to the City
Council in a reasonable time frame. There being
no objections, the motion was so ordered.

VII. STATUS OF PREVIOUS ACTION ITEMS - None
VIII. ITEMS FROM COMMISSIONERS:
A. Discussion regarding on/off site pick-up/drop off
points for public schools in the Walnut Valley and
Pomona Unified School Districts.
Chair/Istik stated that it was he requested this
item for the agenda. He asked that the Commission
direct DDPW/Liu to write to the schools and
inquire about each school's policy regarding the
picking up and dropping off of students. Without
objection, the Commission concurred.
B. Secondary access road for Diamond Ranch High
School.
C/Gravdahl made a motion, seconded by Chair/Istik,
requesting that DDPW/Liu contact the Pomona
Unified School District and request that a
representative of the school appear before the
Traffic and Transportation Commission on February
8, 1996 to offer input regarding the proposed

access road and outline the school's expectations
for moving students from Diamond Bar to the high
school.
C. City Attorney's opinion regarding the installation
of speed bumps/humps in the City of Diamond Bar.
Chair/Istik stated that the City Attorney
indicated in a letter to C/Gravdahl that if the
City wishes to install humps, the City must
formulate rules and regulations for their
installation.
C/Gravdahl asked that staff obtain copies of
regulations adopted by neighboring cities.
DDPW/Liu responded to C/Gravdahl that speed humps
are considered roadway design features. Diamond
Bar has topographical considerations. He stated
his concerns regarding the feasibility of speed
humps when more than 70% of the residential
streets in the City have significant grades. In
his opinion, this is a citywide consideration.
C/Gravdahl stated that, in his opinion, a speed
hump policy should be adopted to address the
requests from the residents. In order to
formulate a policy, the City needs to acquire
information regarding other city's policies for
speed humps.
Chair/Intik stated that the City's policy could be
to have no speed humps under certain criteria.
The City could compile a report which would list
alternatives to speed hump installation. He
suggested the item be agendized for March.
Chair/Istik recommended that staff be directed to
formulate a report and a speed hump policy to
include alternatives to speed hump installation
for presentation at the March, 1996 Traffic and
Transportation Commission meeting. Without
objection, the Commission concurred. DDPW/Liu
stated staff would contact other cities for input
and bring the information and recommendation to
the commission. In addition, all providers of
service to the City would be contacted for input.

MATTERS FROM THE AUDIENCE/PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Craig Clute, 21217 Fountain Springs Road, read a letter from
the residents of Fountain Springs Road and Sunbright Drive
that had been sent to the Planning Commission. He stated that
Clay Chaput, Assistant Superintendent of Diamond Bar High
School indicated he is unaware of any landscape plan and plan
for placement of a LA Cellular tower on the school property.
He requested the Planning Commission pursue these items with
LA Cellular and the school district and ask for their
cooperation in resolving the matter.
CDD/DeStefano responded to C/Flamenbaum that he is not aware
of the progress. He indicated he will contact the school
district and provide a report at the December 11,
Planning Commission meeting.
C/Schad stated that, in his opinion, Mr. Clute's presentation
is very good and covers all of the major issues. He indicated
he wanted to emphasize that the major engineering factor
pertaining to the sprinkler installation, due to the severity
of the slopes and the size of the slopes that run on the west
side of the school, might best be solved by using a drip
system instead of an overhead sprinkler. Since many. pepl
use the sidewalks in the area, there is a danger of slipping
and falling due to the wet sidewalks.

PUBLIC HEARING:
seconded by VC/Huff to approve the
Without objection, the motion was
1. variance No. 95-2 (pursuant to Code Section 22.56, Part
2), is a request to construct a series of two retaining
walls (crib walls) within the rear portion of the project
site. Each retaining wall's maximum height is 13 feet.
Additionally, this project includes the construction of
an 8,334 square foot two story single family residence
with a cellar, deck, pool/spa, and four car garage. The
project site is a 1.33 acre vacant lot located within a
gated community identified as "The Country Estates".
Property Address: 1729 Derringer Lane, Diamond Bar
Property Owner: Jeffrey and Eddy Hu, 933 Leyland
Drive, Diamond Bar
Applicant: Frank Piermarini, 2100 S. Reservoir,
Pomona, CA 91766
VC/Huff stated he lives near the proposed development,
recused himself and left the dais.
AstP/Lungu stated the project is Zoned R-1-40,000 and has
a General Plan land use designation of Rural Residential
(RR). The project site is approximately 1.33 gross acres
and is rectangular in shape. The vacant lot slopes to
the rear at a 2:1 slope with grades varying from 10
percent to 67 percent (1.5:1 slope ratio).
A flood hazard area is located within the rear portion of
the project site. No structures are proposed in this
area.
The purpose of the retaining walls is to provide a
recreational area so that the applicant can have lawn
area with pool and spa facilities. Additionally,
retaining walls are proposed adjacent to both side
property lines to contain a fill. Maximum height of
November 27, 1995 Page 3 Planning commission
these retaining walls is six feet except for the portion
of the retaining wall which meets the crib wall
(westerly), adjacent to the north property line. At this
location, the retaining wall's height is it feet.
Pursuant to the City's Planning and Zoning Code Section
22.48.160.D., the maximum permitted height of a retaining
wall is six feet. In order to construct a retaining wall
which exceeds this height limitation as proposed for this
project, the Variance process must be utilized. The Yard
Modification process cannot be utilized in this case
because the series of retaining walls, as proposed, are
not considered a minor modification.
The guidelines of the City's Hillside Management
Ordinance are applicable to this project. These
guidelines state the following: design a project that is
sensitive to the natural terrain and minimizes the
effects on the hillside; and design a single family
structure that is located and terraced to follow the
slope and minimize necessary grading. Suggested
techniques for guideline compliance are split pads,
stepped footings, and grade separations.
Pursuant to Development Review Ordinance No. 5 (1990),
the proposed project requires Administrative Development
Review performed by the Community Development Director
through the public hearing process. However, the
Variance review allows the Planning Commission to also
review this project from a Development Review
perspective.
AstP/Lungu continued indicating the staff report includes
a comparison of the City's development standards and the
proposed project's development standards. This proposed
project complies with the City's codes except for the
retaining walls heights, pilasters' height within the 20
foot front yard setback, and the average finished grade
(AFG) calculations. Additionally, this project does not
comply with the intentions of the City's Hillside
Management Ordinance.
The Hillside Management ordinance requires that retaining
walls, associated with lot pads, shall not exceed four
feet in height. Where an additional retained portion is
necessary because of unusual or extreme conditions (such
as lot configuration, steep slope, or road design), the
use of terraced retaining structures shall be considered
on an individual lot basis. Terraced walls shall not
exceed three feet in height and shall be separated by a
minimum of three feet and incorporate appropriate
landscaping. The proposed project site is steep sloping.
November 27, 1995 Page 4 Planning Commission
Therefore, the site's development causes the use of
terraced retaining walls. However, the retaining walls,
as designed, even though appropriately landscaped, do not
comply with the Hillside Management Ordinance's
guidelines.
According to the City's Planning and Zoning Code section
22.48.160.A., the maximum height of structures within the
20 foot front yard setback is 42 inches. The conceptual
landscape plan delineates two pilasters, seven feet high,
located on both sides of the driveway. To comply with
the Code, the pilasters' maximum height shall be 42
inches. The conceptual landscape plan also indicates low
planter walls within the private street's easement.
These walls need to be moved out of the easement or
deleted.
Pursuant to the City's Planning and Zoning Code Section
22.20.110, the maximum height of a single family
structure is 35 feet and two stories. Also, a third
level may be constructed as a cellar, if it is located
50% or more below the grade. As defined in the Code,
grade is the average of the finished ground level (AFG)
at the center of all the single family structure's walls.
In order to calculate the AFG, the Code requires the
utilization of the elevation at the mid -point of all the
structure's outside walls as a reference point for
estimating the grade. Next, each indicated mid -point
measure is identified on the grading plan. Total the
mid -point measures. Divide by the number of measures
taken for the actual AFG. The applicant calculated the
AFG using the mid -point of the structure's outside walls.
However, when doing these mid -point measures, the left
portion (westerly) of the rear elevation's outside wall
was not considered. This wall is part of the residential
structure and should be considered. When considering
this elevation (1175.7 and 1181.0), the AFG calculation
is 1184.76 instead of 1187.26, as proposed. With an AFG
calculation of 1184.76, the residential structure's
height from the AFG is 37.5 feet and the cellar is not
50% or more below the AFG. As such, the cellar (pursuant
to Code) is a basement (third story) and not permitted
and the residential structure exceeds the 35 foot height
limitation as measured from the AFG.
When reviewing this project's design, the rear elevation
must be considered from the view of neighboring
properties below. This view will incorporate the rear
wall (three levels) of the residential structure and two
thirteen feet high retaining walls. Therefore, the total
view of walls from neighboring properties below is
approximately 63.5 feet high.
November 27, 1995 page 5 planning Commission
AstP/Lungu continued stating the applicant's conceptual
landscape plan indicates extensive landscaping of the
crib walls and rear yard's recreational area, as well as
in the side and front yards. However, this landscaping
can be considered a bandaid for the reality of walls
totalling to approximately 63.5 feet in height.
The proposed project was reviewed by the City's Building
and Safety Department and the Engineering Department.
Their comments and recommendations are included in
staff's report.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission open the
public hearing, receive testimony, and continue Variance
No. 95-2 in order to allow the applicant the opportunity
to redesign the project.
AstP/Lungu responded to Chair/Flamenbaum that there are
no special circumstances that would necessitate the
Planning Commission granting a variance.
CDD/DeStefano stated the Planning Commission can request
the applicant make changes to bring the project to
compliance, continue the project and to deny the project
as it is presented, or approve the project.
CDD/DeStefano responded to C/Fong that the applicant has
the opportunity to redesign the project. He indicated
this is a self-induced hardship because there is not the
necessity for this size home or for the proposed pool
that requires the higher retaining wall. The home could
be stepped. There are a number of changes that could be
incorporated. The applicant has a right to propose a
project and the Planning Commission can make a decision
as to whether it is consistent with the character of "The
Country Estates" neighborhood, consistent with the
standards and practices the City has employed over the
years and, in this case, whether those items will result
in the need for a variance.
Chair/Flamenbaum declared the public hearing open.
Frank Piermarini, applicant for the proposed project
stated he is in favor of the project as presented. He
reviewed the staff report and is present to answer any
questions the Planning Commission might have.
Dan Wildish, 1704 Derringer Lane, indicated he lives
across the street from the proposed project. He stated
he is very much in favor of the project even though it
blocks a portion of his westerly view. He further stated
that, in his opinion, the proposed project conforms to
November 27, 1995 Page 6 Planning Commission
many of the homes currently in "The Country Estates". It
is a lot that is difficult to build on and Mr. Piermarini
has demonstrated his ability to effectively build on such
lots.
Kenneth Wilch, engineer for the proposed project, stated
his firm has proposed extensive landscaping which, in his
opinion, will be very effective in mitigating the view of
the crib wall. He further stated he feels his
calculations with respect to average finish grade are
correct and he intends to discuss this matter further
with staff. He indicated that the stepping process was
utilized in the design of the project.
Mr. Wilch responded to Chair/Flamenbaum that the
retaining walls could be broken up further by having a
series of six walls or four seven foot walls. In
addition, there is no engineering obstacle to lowering
the height of the structure.
Mr. Wilch responded to C/Schad that a three step
retaining wall would not enhance the stability.
CDD/DeStefano stated that with respect to the calculation
of the AFG there was a dispute between the Planning
Department and the applicant. Because the staff has
changed with respect to the review of this project, it
has not changed the six and one-half year old policy of
how the number is determined. In order to resolve the
applicant's concern, staff requested Mike Meyer,
Consultant Engineer, and Joe Buzzone, Plan Check Engineer
for the Building and Safety Department, to calculate the
AFG independently and both of them arrived at
calculations similar to the Planning Staff, all creating
a proposed structure that was above the allowed height
maximum. The bottom line from staff's perspective is
that this house has difficulties and the project is
worthy of further consideration. It is staff's opinion
that the differences can be worked out and eliminate a
number of the variances that are now before the Planning
Commission.
Harold Sandifer, Fire Hollow Drive, stated he looks
directly up at the proposed project from his home. He
indicated that, in his opinion, it is very massive in
appearance and he is concerned about the stability of the
retaining walls, especially with a pool in the rear
portion.
Terry Straley, Fire Hollow Drive, indicated she is
concerned that the 13 foot high retaining walls are too
November 27, 1995 Page 7 Planning commission
massive and might not be stable. She would prefer to see
stepped retaining walls.
Claudia Huff, 1641 Fire Hollow Drive, stated she is
concerned that the size of the, project for the lot is
pushing the envelope. This is an 8300 square foot house
that appears to be too massive for the lot, especially
with the limitations of the slope grade. She indicated
she is also concerned about the height of the structure
because it exceeds the City Code. She further stated
that, in her opinion, it is not wise for the City to make
too many exceptions. She stated she is not singling out
this project, this is her opinion on projects citywide.
She is also concerned about a pool in the crib wall area.
Mr. Piermarini presented a rendering of the proposed crib
wall landscaping. He stated that the proposed home is
similar to most of the homes in existence along the ridge
line.
Mr. Piermarini responded to Chair/Flamenbaum that the
proposed structure is approximately 500 feet above Fire
Hollow Drive.
Mr. Piermarini stated the crib walls must be approved by
the City and there is no problem with stability. In
addition, a swimming pool is lighter than the dirt that
was originally in the location.
Chair/Flamenbaum declared the public hearing closed.
C/Fong stated he feels the two 13 foot retaining walls
are too massive and too high. He agrees with the
concerned resident regarding the visual impact. The
proposed project does not comply with the City's Code.
He suggested that the applicant redesign the retaining
walls to consist of a series of retaining walls and
slopes to conform to the topography. In addition, the
engineer should work with staff to resolve the AFG issue.
C/Schad stated he is concerned about the retaining walls.
They are too massive and should be sloped down to provide
a more suitable visual appearance. He indicated he is
also concerned about the proposed landscaping and the
height of the trees that would be required to cover the
retaining walls which could cause root damage to the
structure.
Chair/Flamenbaum reiterated the retaining wall issue.
Two 13 foot walls is unacceptable. He stated he is
concerned about the massive structure. He indicated he
November 27, 1995 Page 8 Planning Commission
is also concerned that the applicant might be proposing
a two-family home.
CE/Myers responded to Chair/Flamenbaum that the driveway
grades are 15 percent and there is a landing at the top
of the driveway which accesses the street.
Chair/Flamenbaum indicated he would be in favor of
reducing the size of the structure by two feet.
C/Fong stated he feels the proposed landscaping is too
extensive and is not compatible with the surrounding
natural vegetation. Crib walls should be curved to
conform with the natural slopes and terrain.
C/ Schad made a motion, seconded by C/Fong to direct staff
to consider the comments of the Planning Commission and
continue Variance No. 95-2 to January 22, 1996. Without
objection, the motion was so ordered.
VC/Huff returned to the dais.

OLD BUSINESS
5. Community Request for Skateboard Park in Diamond Bar - CSD/Rose stated
City Council allocated $7,500.00 to develop a site plan for the cul-de-sac
skateboard park. The cul-de-sac will be located at the west end of Sunset Crossing
Road. Development will begin at the YMCA driveway and continue west to the
end of the cul-de-sac. Staff has requested a proposal for the site plan footprint
from PURKISS-ROSE/RSI. The footprint will be forwarded to Charles Abbott &
Associates for incorporation of the skateboard park element into the Sunset
Crossing cul-de-sac park site plan. The site plan will be presented to the Parks and
Recreation Commission for review and then to the City Council for approval. The
presentation to City Council will include a request for funds to develop
construction drawings and to proceed with the construction of the park. Staff
requests that the Parks and Recreation Commission assist in the development by
establishing a committee of youth and adults that might be interested in assisting
the City with the design of the skateboard element. CSD/Rose referred the
Commission to the letter from the director of the YMCA which states that the
Board of Directors support the construction of the skateboard area and a roller
hockey rink. The YMCA further indicated they would be interested in discussing
the possibility of operating the facility.
Staff recommends that the Parks and Recreation Commission add the construction
of the skateboard park to its priority matrix as a major CIP project and recommend
to the City Council the approval of the construction of a skateboard park at the
west end of Sunset Crossing Road cul-de-sac. In addition, at the appropriate time,
December 28, 1995 Page 3 Parks & Recreation Commission
the Commission should form a committee of youth and adults to assist the architect
with the design of the skateboard park. Staff further recommends that the
Commission request staff to enter into negotiations with YMCA for the operation
of the skateboard park.
C/Goldenberg asked how large the cul-de-sac area is at the west end of Sunset
Crossing that is available for development?
CSD/Rose responded that the skateboard park element is approximately 3000
square feet. Approximately 200 feet by 60 feet is designated for roller hockey and
other elements in the area. The approximate cost for construction of the skateboard
park is $75,000. Design for other elements will be determined at a later date.
VC/Goldenberg suggested the source of funding should be determined prior to
appointing a committee.
CSD/Rose stated there are three possible sources for funding of the skateboard
park: Unallocated discretionary Proposition A funds; Unallocated Quimby funds;
and the General Fund.
C/I'ye asked for clarification on the discretionary Proposition A "Safe Parks Act"
funds. If we don't use the funds by the end of June, 1996 does the City lose them.
CSD/Rose responded that with respect to Proposition A funds, the City must have
a Memorandum of Understanding signed by Los Angeles County for allocation of
funds to a discretionary project prior to June 30, 1996. If funds are not allocated
and approved by that date, the money ' is returned to Los Angeles County for
reallocation.
CH/Ruzicka requested input from interested members of the audience.
Vicky Marcus, 530 Cameron Crest Drive stated she is pleased with the progress
toward development of the skateboard park. She indicated she concurs with staff's
recommended list of priorities. She referred the Commissioners to the local
skateboard store and suggested the owner could offer advice toward the park's
design and development.
CSD/Rose responded to Ms. Cameron that the .architect's proposal would be
completed in approximately 30 days.
December 28, 1995 Page 4 Parks & Recreation Commission
C/Tye made a motion, seconded by VC/Goldenberg to add the construction of a
skateboard park to the priorities matrix of the Parks and Recreation Commission
and that the Commission recommend that the City Council approve the project for
construction at the Sunset Crossing Road location. The motion carried 4-0.
6. Petitions Requesting Change of Tennis Class Schedule at Maple Hill Park -
The City of Diamond Bar has been presented with two petitions, containing a total
of twenty-four (24) different signatures, requesting that tennis classes at Maple Hill
Park be scheduled after 12 noon, not earlier in the morning as they are now
scheduled.
CSD/Rose stated that a group of citizens use the Maple Hill Park tennis courts on
a drop-in basis. Diamond Bar has contracted with the City of Brea to conduct
classes during the morning hours. The morning classes have been added to the
class schedule due to increased demand by the citizens. In 1995, 17 tennis classes
were conducted during the winter session. For the winter session of 1996 the
number of tennis classes has increased to 49. The increase in the number of classes
has reduced the availability of the tennis courts for drop-in play. As a result, the
petitions were presented to the city. At the time the petitions were received by the
city, tennis lessons were scheduled five mornings per week at Maple Hill Park.
Prior to printing the winter class schedule, the classes were changed to 3 mornings
per week at Maple Hill Park. Staff believes the change presents a balance between
the morning classes at Maple Hill Park and Ronald Reagan Park. It is the intent
of the city to continue with a balance of classes between these two parks.
CSD/Rose continued with a report from Ms. Swertnik which states that in 1995,
634 people participated in 115 scheduled tennis classes. There was an increase
from 17 classes in the winter of 1995 to 49 classes for the winter of 1996. He
indicated that 90 percent of the tennis class participants are Diamond Bar residents
and the revenue from the classes help off -set the costs of maintenance and
operation of the tennis courts.
CH/Ruzicka requested input from interested members of the audience.
Aurelio Lopez, 1078 Longview Drive stated that he is one of the many Diamond
Bar residents who regularly plays tennis at Maple Hill Park. He stated his concern
regarding the change in scheduling of the tennis lessons from afternoon to morning
hours. He indicated that a majority of residents who play tennis at the park work
in the afternoon and evening. He requested that the city switch back to the prior
December 28, 1995 Page 5 Parks & Recreation Commission
schedule of afternoon tennis sessions.
Robert Wood, 23625 Palomino Drive indicated that he sees the change in the tennis
lesson schedule as a detriment to the 15 to 20 regular tennis players who use the
courts in the morning hours. In his opinion, the majority of the players during the
morning hours are drop-in players. Therefore, they are entitled to equal use of the
courts. He requested the use of two of the three courts for the drop-in players
during the morning hours.
Tau Lien, 24319 Rimford Place stated he has lived in Diamond Bar for 10 years
and has been playing tennis at Maple Hill Park for approximately eight years. He
requested to know when new tennis courts will be built to accommodate the
increase in demand. He questioned the accuracy of the signs indicating the times
for tennis classes and requested they be taken down or replaced if they are not
correct. He further stated he often observes one instructor teaching one student
and he feels this is not right. He asked about the scheduling of makeup classes.
He asked if the tennis class could use the Chapparal School facilities or the
Diamond Bar High School facilities. He indicated he would like the city to
respect the community by surveying the community prior to changing the schedule.
Walter Shih, 24331 Rimford Place stated he has lived in Diamond Bar for eight
years. He indicated he has enjoyed the ability to play tennis on Saturday and
Sunday and now is unable to due to the new schedule. He stressed tennis is very
important to his health and well-being. He stated that, in his opinion, the loss of
taxpayer's dollars and health would be 10 to 20 times greater that the revenue
income to the city from the tennis lessons. He stressed that only about one-third
of the concerned citizens could be present for this meeting.
CH/Ruzicka stressed the difficulties experienced by all citizens due to the lack of
parks left to Diamond Bar by Los Angeles County. He stated that all citizens of
Diamond Bar are concerned about the lack of recreational facilities available. Use
of facilities must be governed for the good of all citizens. The citizens must
equally share the current facilities to benefit as many residents as possible. The
facilities belong to all citizens and must be shared by all citizens. The city cannot
and will not tolerate any type of intimidation or physical confrontation over the use
of the park facilities. He requested the attendees assist the City in patrolling the
park facilities.
CSD/Rose responded that the city is adding two tennis courts at Pantera Park. He
December 28, 1995 Page 6 Parks & Recreation Commission
indicated the signage at Maple Hill Park will be replaced. CSD/Rose continued
that, as a result of inquiries from concerned citizens, the winter schedule was
reduced from five mornings to three mornings per week at Maple Hill Park.
Walnut Valley School District denied the city's request for use of school facilities
for tennis classes during school hours. The city's Joint Use Agreement with the
school district precludes the city from use of school facilities during school hours.
All. classes offered by the city are group tennis lessons. The smallest group
consists of six participants. The city and the instructor have no control over the
number of participants who actually attend the class. If one person attends, that
person is entitled to the lessons for which he/she has paid.
CSD/Rose stated that the City of Diamond Bar does not arbitrarily schedule tennis
classes, the city responds to requests from the community and schedules
accordingly.
CSD/Rose responded to C/Medina that the Walnut Valley Unified School District
rents out its facilities on Saturdays. Chapparal School facilities are rented to a
private business on Saturday and Sunday. He stated staff will inquire regarding
Sunday use of the school facilities for tennis lessons.
CH/Ruzicka stated the city will investigate various options and seek to meet the
needs of as many citizens as possible.
CSD/Rose responded to Mr. Lien that data could be investigated to determine the
makeup of the tennis class participants. The petition was received in early
December and the process of gathering information has begun. Staff will require
additional time to gather all of the data and will present it, if necessary, at a future
meeting.
VC/Goldenberg stated he plays tennis three to four times per week. Although the
tennis classes present an inconvenience for him, he begins searching for an
available court in the early morning hours until he is able to play. He further
stated that he has no difficulty finding a court open early Monday .morning and
when he leaves the court at about 8:30 a.m., the courts are empty. He pointed out
that CSD/Rose and staff have made a best effort to modify the schedule to
accommodate the drop-in players.
Ms. Swertnik responded to C/Tye that there are a minimum of six students per
class. The participation has increased since more classes are offered in the
December 28, 1995 Page 7 Parks & Recreation Commission
morning hours. In addition, the proximity of the tennis courts to the students
homes is important.
CSD/Rose responded to C/Medina that at no time are more than two of three
courts used for tennis lessons.
Mr. Pastor stated that he has used two courts a maximum 'of three times during the
Fall Session. The majority of time only one court is utilized for lessons in order
to avoid inconveniencing the drop-in players. There are times when the
intermediate classes are learning doubles play and that two courts must be used.
Beginning students occupy only one court. At no time do the lessons occupy three
courts.
Mr. Pastor responded to Mr. Lien that if only one student out of six registered
students shows up for class the class must be taught.
CSD/Rose explained that the new signs will advise the schedule of classes. He
stated that it is illegal for a private instructor to conduct tennis classes for payment
on a public court. He further stated that the city investigates all citizen complaints.
Because staff cannot monitor the courts on a continuous basis, the city relies on
citizens to monitor use of the tennis courts.
CH/Ruzicka requested the concerned citizens monitor the parks for all kinds of
illegal activities including vandalism and gang activity.
CSD/Rose responded to CH/Ruzicka that the new schedule of classes is available
to any concerned citizen.
CH/Ruzicka suggested the formation of a drop-in user group.
C/Tye reminded the Commission that the citizen's petition requested availability
of all courts for drop-in players seven days per week from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00
noon.
CH/Ruzicka asked Mr. Lien to reconsider their request based upon the information
presented during tonight's discussion.
Mr. Lien responded that he is not a leader of the citizen's group. However, he
will pass the information along to as many people as possible.
December 28, 1995 Page 8 Parks & Recreation Commission
CSD/Rose suggested a special meeting be scheduled on Thursday, January 11,
1996 at Maple Hill Park at 10:00x. m. for the Parks and Recreation Commission,
City of Brea staff, city staff and concerned citizens. The Commissioners
concurred. CSD/Rose stated notices of the workshop will be posted at Maple Hill
Park.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
C/Medina reported- that the grass at Summitridge Park is in excellent condition. He
recommended a speed bump be installed on the down grade to prevent roller blading. He
reminded staff that there is no cover for the dumpster. He suggested expanding the second
level 25 percent by cutting the grassy area.. He stated there is an irrigation problem at the
edge of the ball field. He recommended that the gazebo be placed on the upper level for
a 360 degree view.
C/Tye reminded the Commission that CH/Ruzicka had suggested the Parks and Recreation
Commission be changed to Community Services. He asked about the posting of signs such
as political signs and stated they are an eyesore and are not removed in a timely fashion.
CSD/Rose responded to C/Tye there is a Property Maintenance Ordinance and a Sign
Ordinance for the City of Diamond Bar. Both ordinances are enforced by the Planning
Department's Code Enforcement Division. The Code Enforcement Officer, Al Flores
reports to the Community Development Director, James DeStefano. He suggested that
C/Tye contact Mr. Flores and indicated the signs are legal if posted within 30 days of the
event and if the property owner has given permission to have the signs posted on their
property. The city does not have jurisdiction over signs which are placed on privately
owned utility poles. The poles are the private property of the utility company. He
indicated the fence surrounding the Diamond Bar Golf Course is owned and maintained
by Los Angeles County.
VC/Goldenberg thanked staff for their support and assistance in 1995 and wished everyone
a happy new year.

TITLE: Resolution No. XX "Approving the Application for Grant Funds from the County of Los Angeles
Regional Park and Open Space District per Parcel Discretionary Grant Program for Development
of Pantera Park"
SUMMARY: The City of Diamond Bar was allocated $594,509 in the Per Parcel Discretionary Grant Program,
developed under the provisions of the Safe Neighborhood Parks Proposition of 1992. The City
Council has previously allocated and entered into a contract for the lighting of the sports fields at
Peterson Park. The commitment is for $140,000 of the Safe Neighborhood Parks Discretionary
Grant. In the Fiscal Year 1995-96 Budget, $200,000 of the Safe Parks funds were set aside for the
lighting of the Lorbeer Middle School athletic fields. Due to the timing of these projects, the
Lorbeer Middle School athletic field lighting project should be funded with monies out of the Park
Fees Fund. Therefore, the Safe Neighborhood Parks Discretionary Grant of $454,509, is
recommended to be allocated to the development of Pantera Park. The allocation of $454,509 will
assist in the construction of Pantera Park, which includes ballfields, restroom/concession stand, tot
lot, tennis courts, basketball/roller hockey hard courts and other park amenities. The funding for
Pantera Park development is Specified Grant of $1,470,000 and Discretionary Grant of $454,509,
for a total Safe Parks Neighborhood Discretionary Grant of $1,924,509. CDBG funds have been
allocated towards the ADA aspects of the Pantera Park development.

Speed Limit on Chino Hills Parkway
ISSUE STATEMENT:
Raise the speed limit on Chino Hills Parkway within the City of Diamond Bar's
jurisdiction from 45 MPH to 50 MPH.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 96 -XX raising the speed limit on
Chino Hills Parkway within the City of Diamond Bar's jurisdiction from 45 MPH
to 50 MPH. The Traffic and Transportation Commission reviewed the matter and
recommends approval.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
The recommended action requires two existing signs to be changed from 45 to
50 MPH. Staff also recommends the installation of two additional signs on
Chino Hills Parkway. The cost for the above is estimated to be $500.00 and
will be funded through the Marking/Signing Maintenance account.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
In October of 1995, the City Council of the City of Chino Hills approved
raising the speed limit on Chino Hills Parkway between Grand Avenue and their
north City limit from 45 to 50 MPH. Unless the posted speed limit on the
parkway is in accordance with the Traffic and Engineering Survey, the Court
would begin to dismiss traffic citations issued on this street. The 85th
percentile speed per Chino Hills Traffic and Engineering Survey is 53 MPH.
Sections 40801 and 40802 of the California Vehicle Code require that a
Traffic and Engineering Survey be prepared that supports the prima facie
speed limit before a posted speed limit can be enforced with radar.

OB Speed limit on Chino Hills Parkway.
DDPW/Liu stated that, at the request of the Chino
Municipal Court, Chino Hills City Council raised the
speed limit on Chino Hills Parkway from 45 MPH to 50
MPH. Subsequently, the Chino Hills Traffic Engineer
has requested that Diamond Bar consider increasing the
speed limit from 45 MPH to 50 MPH in the City's
jurisdiction. The Diamond Bar Speed Zone Survey
indicates 85 percent of traffic travels at 54 MPH on
Chino Hills Parkway. The Diamond Bar portion Chino
Hills Parkway is undeveloped and the prevailing speed
warrants an increase to 50 MPH without creating a
safety concern. In addition, if Diamond Bar maintains
the 45 MPH speed limit while Chino Hills increases
their portion to 50 MPH the court may consider the area
to be a speed trap area.
Staff recommends that the Traffic and Transportation
Commission recommend to the City.Council that the speed
limit on Chino Hills Parkway within the City of Diamond
Bar's jurisdiction be raised from 45 to 50 MPH.
C/Gravdahl stated he is opposed to increasing the speed
limit beyond the current 45 MPH.
C/Ortiz stated he supports staff's recommendation.
C/Virginkar stated he favors keeping the 45 MPH speed
limit on Grand Avenue.
VC/Leonard stated she supports staff's recommendation.
DDPW/Liu responded to C/Virginkar that the courts will
refer to the Speed Zone Survey for enforcement
guidelines.
Sgt. Rawlings responded to C/Gravdahl that Chino Hills
Parkway is patrolled by the Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Department. He stressed the fact that a
change in the speed limit will not change the speed of
the vehicles that travel on the street. The safe and
prudent speed on Chino Hills Parkway is between 50 and
54 MPH.
DDPW/Liu responded to C/Gravdahl that Chino Hills has
indicated they will raise the speed limit from 45 to 50

MPH on their portion of Grand Avenue. The City of
Chino Hills has not requested that Diamond Bar raise
the speed limit on Grand Avenue. The City of Diamond
Bar has stated to Chino Hills that it does not intend
to raise the speed limit higher than the current posted
speed limit of 45 MPH.
VC/Leonard made a motion, seconded by C/Ortiz, to
concur with staff's recommendation to recommend to the
the City Council that the speed limit on Chino Hills
Parkway within the City of Diamond Bar's jurisdiction
be raised from 45 to 50 MPH.

JAMES S. THALMAN
MICHAEL G. WICKMAN
On October 10, 1995, the City of Chino Hills City Council approved raising the speed limit on Grand
Avenue from 45 mph to 55 mph between Pleasant Hill Drive and the west City limit, and from 45
mph to 50 mph between Pleasant Hill Drive to the east City limit. The City of Chino Hills will be
posting advance warning of the 45 mph speed limit which begins in the City of Diamond Bar.
On Chino Hills Parkway, the speed limit was raised from 45 mph to 50 mph between Grand Avenue
and the north City limit. The segment of Chino Hills Parkway between the City of Chino Hills north
City limit and Scenic Ridge Drive is under the jurisdiction of the City of Diamond Bar. The 85th
percentile speed per your Traffic and Engineering Survey is 54 mph. We suggest that the speed limit
of this segment of Chino Hills Parkway be changed from 45 mph to 50 mph in order to be in
conformance with the new posted speed limit in the City of Chino Hills and with your own Traffic
and Engineering Survey.
The change in speed limits was requested by the Chino Municipal Court who informed our Police
Department that if the speed limit was not raised to be in conformance with the Traffic and
Engineering Survey, that the court would begin dismissing all traffic citations issued on these streets.
A copy of the City of Chino Hills Agenda Report and Traffic and Engineering Survey is enclosed.

AGENDA REPORT AGENDA N0. I�, C.,
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
MEETING DATE: February 6, 1996 REPORT DATE: January 31, 1996
FROM: Troy L. Butzlaff, Assistant to the City Manager
TITLE: Second Reading of Ordinance 02 (1996) adopting requirements and standards relating to
the collection, recycling, transportation, and disposal of solid waste, recyclable and
compostable materials.
SUMMARY: Since 1991, the collection and disposal of solid waste, recyclables, and compostable
materials has been regulated through a modified permit system. This system, which is structured like a
business licensing system, requires any solid waste contractor wishing to provide solid waste collection
and disposal services within the City's jurisdictional boundaries to first obtain a permit from the City
Council authorizing them to provide such services. In order to eliminate the redundancy that exists within
the City's enabling legislation and to establish a more uniform standard for the collection and disposal
of solid waste, recyclables, and compostable materials, staff is recommending the adoption of the
proposed Ordinance. The proposed Ordinance was discussed and approved for first reading, by title
only, at the January 16, 1996, City Council meeting.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve, for second reading and
adoption, by title only, Ordinance 02 (1996) repealing Ordinance 02 (1990) and Ordinance 02A (1990)
as heretofore adopted and revising Chapter 8.16 Title 8 of the Diamond Bar Municipal Code adopting
requirements and standards relating to the collection, recycling, transportation, and disposal of solid
waste, recyclable and compostable materials.

DIVISION 1. GENERALLY
"Section 8.16.010. Legislative Policy. The City Council finds and determines that
storage, accumulation, collection and disposal of refuse, trash, rubbish, solid waste, debris and
other discarded material is a matter of great public concern, in that improper control of such
matters creates a public nuisance, which may lead to air pollution, fire hazards, illegal dumping,
insect breeding and rat infestation and other problems affecting the health, welfare and safety of
the residents of Diamond Bar and surrounding cities. The City Council further recognizes that
recycling and waste reduction is of national, regional, and local importance, and that the adoption
of uniform regulations for the collection, disposal, recycling, and transportation of solid waste,
recyclable and compostable materials as provided in this Chapter are designed to eliminate or
alleviate such problems.

DIVISION 2. PERMITS
"Section 8.16.410. Authority of City Council to Issue Permits for Disposal and
Collection. The Legislature of the State of California, by enactment of the California Integrated
Waste Management Act of 1989 ("AB 939"), has declared that it is within the public's interest to
authorize and require local agencies to make adequate provisions for solid waste handling within
their jurisdictions. California Public Resources Code Section 40059, as amended from time to
time or any successor provision or provisions thereto, authorizes the City to determine (i) all
aspects of solid waste handling which are of local concern, including, but not limited to,
27
frequency of collection, means of collection and transportation, level of services, charges and
fees, and nature, location, and extent of providing solid waste handling services; and (ii) whether
the services are to be provided by means of nonexclusive franchise, contract, license, permit, or
otherwise, either with or without competitive bidding. The City Council has now therefore
determined, pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 40059(a)(1), that the public's
health, safety and well-being require that permits be granted to qualified solid waste contractors
for solid waste collection, recycling, composting and disposal services in residential,
commercial, construction and industrial areas within the City of Diamond Bar.
The Council determines that the disposal and/or collection of refuse, trash, rubbish or other solid
waste is a service to be performed in the City in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter.
The City may from time to time issue permits to those parties meeting the criteria of this Chapter
and such other standards as may be established by resolution of the City Council regarding the
collection of refuse, rubbish and other forms of solid waste from residential and commercial
units. So long as any such permit remains in force, collection of material provided for herein
may be made only in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof. Fees and charges for
such collection, removal and disposal services shall be those which the Council may from time to
time hereafter approve by resolution. No person shall engage in the business of collecting,
removing or disposing of any refuse, trash, recyclable and/or compostable material, or other solid
waste including hazardous wastes or infectious medical waste, within the City from any
residential or commercial units, nor transport the same over any public highway or rights-of-
way, unless a permit to do so has first been obtained from the Council and such person complies

MEETING DATE: February 6, 1996 REPORT DATE: January 22, 1996
FROM: Kellee A. Fritzal, Administrative Assistant
TITLE: DIAMOND RIDE - DIAL A CAB STATUS REPORT
SUNEVIARY: The City commenced the Diamond Ride - Dial -A -Cab program based upon the actual
ridership being an unknown element. Through review of the program's eight and a half
months (April 18 through December 31) operation, several trends are apparent in the
ridership. With the increase of service provided by Dial -A -Cab, there has been a dramatic
increase in ridership, from 98 rides per month to 1,168 an 1192% increase. The City
Council reviewed the Dial -A Cab program in September 1995 and provided for an increase
in funding and revised the boundaries (from 10 miles to defined streets). However, the
number of trips is continuing to increase monthly, as well as the cost. In reviewing the
ridership, there are several passengers who are utilizing the program as their means to work,
this compiling over 60 trips per month. The program was designed to provide seniors and
the physically challenged quality transportation to medical appointments, shopping and
miscellaneous errands.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: (1) Begin an Identification Card requirement for
use of the Dial -A -Cab program; (2) Limit the number of rides per month for a single
passenger to 24 trips; (3) Increase the use of the shared rides in scheduling trips. (4)
Increase the contract by $28,000, for a total contract of $172,000 and total budget of
$182,000.

MEETING DATE: February 6, 1996
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Terrence L. Belanger, City Manager
SUBJECT: DIAMOND RIDE - DIAL A CAB STATUS REPORT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council: (1) Begin an Identification Card requirement for use of the Dial -A -Cab
program; (2) Limit the number of rides per month for a single passenger to 24 trips; (3) Increase the use of the
shared rides in scheduling trips. (4) Increase the contract by $28,000, for a total contract of $172,000 and total
budget of $182,000.
SUMMARY:
The City commenced the Diamond Ride, Dial -A -Cab program, based upon the actual ridership being an
unknown element. Through review of the program's eight and a half month (April 18 through December 31)
operation, several trends are apparent in the ridership. With the increase of service provided by Dial -A -Cab,
there has been a dramatic increase in ridership. In reviewing the ridership, there are several passengers who are
using the program as their only means to work, this compiling over 60 trips per month. The program was
designed to provide seniors and the physically challenged quality transportation to medical appointments,
shopping and miscellaneous errands.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
Allocate an additional $28,000, tcom Proposition A funds to the Dial A Cab program. The total Diamond Ride
budget will increase to $182,000 for Fiscal Year 1995-96.
DISCUSSION:
Identification Cards
The City requires proof of meeting the age or disability requirement to be eligible to participate in the Dial -A -
Cab program. Methods to show proof includes: drivers' license, social security Medicare card, VA
documentation of disability, DMV disability card, social security award, or Access Services Card. These
methods are burdensome and have been difficult to obtain for some residents.
To provide for a uniform method of identification, the attached Dial -A -Cab Identification Card has been
developed. The ID Card will include the name, address, and number of each rider. The taxi drivers will need to
write the number of the card on the log sheets for identification/reporting reasons. The identification card will be
available at City Hall. Applications will be completed by the person requesting the card and then a card will be
completed. The Card will be required for all fares beginning March 1, 1996, if approved.
Limit the Number ofRides Per Month
In reviewing the monthly log sheets the average rider will use the taxicab 10 times per month. However, there
are several riders who are using the service between 40 and 65 times per month. Due to the incidents of several
people using the taxi service on more then a daily basis, the cost has increased. It appears after research, there
are at least three residents who are using the taxis to go to and from work on a daily basis.
The Dial -A -Cab system was established to assist seniors and disabled in travel to and from medical appointments,
shopping and miscellaneous errands. The demand for the service on a daily or very regular basis for
transportation to work is overloading the system. There is public transportation available for commuting to
work and the Los Angeles County "Access Services" Program. Access Services is operated by MTA, as a
transportation opportunity for disabled persons who cannot use the bus on a daily basis. The City's Dial -A -Cab
program is designed as a supplement to the available transportation services.
The initiation of a cap on ridership is fair. The cap will not affect a majority of the riders. The cap on ridership
will be reviewed monthly to ensure compliance. The cap on the number of rides will be initiated for the month of
March, if approved.
In December, one rider used the Dial -A -Cab system 62 times for close to $1,000 in expenses to the City.
Increase the Use of the Shared Rides in Scheduling; Trips
The laity has been operating Dial -A -Cab as one on one service. Shared rides have occurred when a group of
riders wanted to be picked up or delivered to a similar location. To effectively schedule the taxicabs, it is
recommended that "shared rides" be expanded.
A shared ride system, allows the dispatcher to schedule trips for multiple riders with the same cab, if the trips are
generated in a similar geographic area. This system was used in the Dial A Ride program.
With the implementation of the shared ride system, the program will become a more effective operation by
reducing the wait time. If approved, Diversified Paratransit services will begin the scheduling of shared rides in
March.

Approval of joint agreement with the City of Walnut for the purpose of sharing special legal
services related to the proposed Materials Recovery Facility and Transfer Station in the City
of Industry.
ISSUE STATEMENT:
Should the City enter into a joint agreement with the City of Walnut for the purpose of sharing the law firm of
Burke, Williams & Sorensen to provide special legal services related to the proposed Materials Recovery Facility
in the City of Industry?

qualified law funis. After an exhaustive evaluation of the four (4) t3'
staff and members of the City's Task Force, unanimously selected the firm of Burke, Williams, &Sorensen.
leg
Burke, Williams & Sorensen is a full service law firm. The firm's Environmental

the
Counsel to represent both the Walnut Improvement Agency and ears Lennard has litigated a number of
practice of environmental and land use law for the past twenty y
significant environmental cases and has acted as special environmentalco lunsel toties of Santa Fe a number o rings, Torrinc including
the County of Orange, University of California at Los Angeles, an
Redondo Beach, West Covina, Upland, Rolling Hills Estates, Anaheim. Mr. Lennard will be assisted, as necessary
and appropriate, by other attorneys and paralegals.
DISCUSSION:
Recently, representatives from the City of Walnut contacted City staff to discuss their interest in sharing special
legal counsel. As you will recall, the cities have entered into a joint agreement for the purpose of sharing our
technical consultant, Ultrasystems Environmental, Incorporated. Since both cities share a common interest against
the proposed material recovery facility, it is felt that there would be certain advantages in combining our efforts
and jointly sharing the costs of special legal services. In doing so, both cities could avoid a duplication of efforts,
as well as reduce each city's overall legal cost. In addition, by sharing legal counsel both cities will establish a
coordinated approach to legal services while maintaining strict attorney-client protection.
The firm has prepared a preliminary budget to review and comment upon the recirculated Draft Environmental
Impact Report. Although the actual costs are unknown at this time, the firm has estimated that the proposed scope
of work will not exceed $50,000 total, or $25,000 per city. Staff recommends that the City Council approve an
initial budget authorization of $15,000. Should additional legal work be required staff will provide a revised budget
authorization request at a future City Council meeting.
Staff is requesting that the City Council approve the joint agreement with the City of Walnut and authorize the City
Manager to execute the necessary contractual documents. A copy of the draft agreement between the Walnut
Improvement Agency, the law firm of Burke, Williams, & Sorensen and the City of Diamond Bar is attached for
the City Council's use and information.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.2
ORAL PRESENTATION
INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Terrence L. Belanger, City Manager
SUBJECT: City Council/City Manager Team Building
DATE: February 2, 1996
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council appoint an ad hoc
committee, which would be comprised of 2 members of the Council and the City Manager,
to interview all of the team building workshop facilitation proposals. After the interviews,
it would be expected that the City Council committee would make a recommendation to
the full Council. At this time, a date(s) has not been scheduled for the team building
workshop. It is recommended that team building be undertaken as quickly as practical.
DISCUSSION: The City Council has requested that proposals be solicited from qualified
consultants for a City Council/City Manager Team Building workshop. We have received
proposals from 5 consultants, copies of which were previously transmitted to the City
Council.
You may already be aware that there are some limitations to the privacy/confidentiality of
team building workshop, due to the constraints under the Brown Act. The team building
sessions(s) would have to be conducted, in Diamond Bar. Also, the session(s) would be
noticed public meetings. However, the public would only be permitted to observe the
session(s).
