10. NEW BUSINESS:
10.1 DISCUSSION OF CITY TOWN HALL MEETING - Debate on Measure
"D" - With Measure "D" being such an imporant issue for
the City of Diamond Bar, it would appear to be equally
important to have the measure debated by those in favor
and by those against the measure. The better way to
assure the neutrality and objectivity of such a debate
would be to have the debate sponsored and moderated by an
obviously neutral third party.

4. PUBLIC COMMENTS: 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 and presented a petition signed by the residents in opposition to
this sign.
Marilyn McOwen, Sunbright Dr., presented a proposal for a church community
project and requested permission for a "Sea to Shining Sea" presentation during the
July 3, 1996 Concert in the Park.
FEBRUARY 6, 1996 PAGE 2
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, spoke in opposition to the "No left -turn" sign at the
Country Hills Towne Center exit and placement of chokers in that neighborhood.
Rose Birch objected to the election of C/Herrera and read a poem about her
deceased son.
Nancy Villalobos expressed concern about the City censoring the presentation of
"Sea to Shining Sea" and supported the presentation.
With regard to 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 their function as well as their impact on the neighborhood. Staff will
present a status report in March 1996.
With regard to the "Sea to Shining Sea" presentation, CA/Jenkins stated that the
group had been offered an opportunity to use the park facility for presentation of
this production any time. He further stated that the park facility would be made
available to any religious group for any similar type of production on their own time,
not City time. He previously advised Mr. Rose that a co-sponsored event between
the City and a church would violate the concept of separation of church and state
under the Constitution. This co-sponsorship would create "an excessive
entanglement between church and state" per the 1 st Amendment, Jurisprudence.
He advised that he would be happy to provide a more comprehensive opinion.
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 a 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 Parks & Recreation Commission previously evaluated
the matter and recommended support in the context of the City Attorney's opinion.
He suggested that staff work with the group in order to not create a conflict with the
establishment clause in the Constitution.
C/Werner objected to any further legal opinion on the matter.
C/Herrera supported CM/Belanger's suggestion that City staff work with the group
FEBRUARY 6, 1996 PAGE 3
in presenting the event.
M/Ansari appointed a Council ad hoc subcommittee of C/Harmony and C/Werner
to evaluate the matter and work with the church group.
Dr. Adams explained that the project had previously been presented by another
church and was not created by this church.
It was suggested that CSD/Rose be included in the group to evaluate the
presentation.
Dianne Anderson, representing the D.B. Chamber of Commerce; announced the 4th
Annual Benefit Auction to be held March 1, 1996 at 6:30 p.m. at the Shilo Hilltop
Inn.
5. COUNCIL COMMENTS: MPT/Huff stated that he participated in a Sheriff "ride -
along" on Saturday, February 3 and was present during the incident that took place
at the Krikorian Theater. He stressed the involvement of parents in their children's
activities. He was very impressed and supportive of the Sheriffs' patrol. With
regard to the next Agenda, he asked the Council to consider a more permanent
patrol presence in the Krikorian area.
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 a peace officer that night. He advised that he will have
significant enforcement in the area of the Theater 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 stated that opinion polls need to be evaluated carefully. With regard to the "No
left -turn" sign exiting the Krikorian Theater, he stated that several people have
ignored the sign and felt that this sign adversely impacts the neighborhood. With
regard to the Birch's, he expressed his deepest sympathy for the loss of their son.
C/Herrera extended her sincerest sympathies to Mrs. Birch. She announced that
she met with the Senior Citizen Club earlier and relayed the seniors' appreciation
for the City's efforts. Regarding the Puente/Chino Hills National Heritage Corridor,
a meeting will be held on February 15, 1996 at Heritage Park between 7:00 p.m. -
9:00 p.m. She suggested that Council consider holding a Closed Session at her
home on February 13, 1996 to prepare an evaluation of the City Manager.
With regard to the February 13 Closed Session date, M/Ansari expressed concern
that there would not be enough time for a proper evaluation of the City Manager.
CM/Belanger stated that staff is compiling several sample forms from other cities
FEBRUARY 6, 1996 PAGE 4
for performance evaluation and goals for review..
C/Herrera felt uncomfortable with being a new Councilmember and participating in
an evaluation of CM/Belanger, but stated that she wanted to be involved in
establishing goals for him to accomplish for a future evaluation.
C/Harmony objected with meeting at a private home in that it will be in violation of
the Brown Act.
C/Herrera stated that this would not be in violation of the Brown Act—it would be a
duly -noticed, official City Council meeting.
C/Wemer suggested that the Council utilize a questionnaire type of form and share
their comments with each other as done by the past Council.
M/Ansari supported C/Wemer's questionnaire -type form suggestion and appointed
an ad hoc committee of MPT/Huff and C/Herrera to evaluate the process to be
used. She indicated that she was opposed to meetings being held at a private
residence.
C/Wemer requested that Council recognize Paul Wright at a future meeting with an
appropriate proclamation. He announced that a 1/2% increase in crime activities
had taken place in the last quarter, particularly robbery assaults and vandalism.
Traffic categories had also risen in the last quarter. He reported that at a recent
D.B. Chamber of Commerce meeting, concerns were expressed about the rumors
stating that The Acapulco had closed. The Chamber thanked the City for its
support in putting the recent parade together for the D. B. High School football team.
He then announced that a Household Hazardous Waste Collection would be held
in Pico Rivera on February 10 and Baldwin Park on February 24, 1996. The
Christmas tree collection was down this year due to tree mulching programs and
many of the trees being contaminated with decorations. He suggested that Council
direct staff to provide a policy with regard to acceptance of items donated to the
City.
M/Ansari reported that on January 17, 1996, 4 Council members traveled to
Sacramento to attend a hearing of the California Transportation Commission
regarding the 57/60 HOV connector road. She commended the support of local
legislators on their testimonies before the Commission. She advised that the City
should hear by March as to whether funding had been provided. She reminded
everyone of the first Town Hall Meeting to be held on Saturday, February 10, 1996
at Heritage Park beginning at 9:00 a.m. She invited the public to attend to speak
to the Council about any issues. She expressed concerns regarding Mrs. Birch's
presence at the meeting and extended her sympathies to the Barron and Ferrari
families on the death of MaryAnn Barron.

7.7 AWARDED CONTRACT TO GENTRY BROTHERS, INC. FOR CONSTRUC-
TION OF GOLDEN SPRINGS DRIVE SUBSURFACE DRAINAGE
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (SYLVAN GLEN ROAD TO 500' NORTHERLY)
- CM/Belanger reported that this contract is for construction of the Golden
Springs Drive subsurface drainage improvement project. The project should
begin within two weeks and should solve the current seepage problem.
C/Werner stated that this has been an historic problem and it would be
helpful if a video was presented.
CM/Belanger advised that videography will be conducted on this project, as
FEBRUARY 6, 1996 PAGE 7
with all projects, the intent of which is to provide a historical record and a
demonstration of how and when the repair was completed.
MPT/Huff moved, seconded by C/Herrera to award a contract to Gentry
Brothers, Inc. in the amount of $71,260, with a contingency of $10,000, for

7.8 AWARDED CONTRACT TO E.C. CONSTRUCTION COMPANY FOR
SUNSET CROSSING ROAD CUL-DE-SAC IMPROVEMENT PROJECT -
CM/Belanger recommended awarding a contract to construct a cul-de-sac
at the westerly terminus of Sunset Crossing Rd., approximately at the
location of the YMCA to begin in early March.
C/Harmony commented that this is one of the City's efforts to stop the MRF
from entering into that neighborhood. The cul-de-sac will keep the City of
Industry at arm's length. Phase II of the project will include a pocket park at
the end of Sunset Crossing.
In response to MPT/Huff, CWBelanger advised that this award would only
create a cul-de-sac in order to terminate the roadway and will not include
construction of a park. The land behind the cul-de-sac will be available for
parking as well as park uses.
C/Wemer stated that the project goes beyond the MRF. There was a Master
Plan prepared by the City of Industry in the 1950's which shows Sunset
Crossing to one of the major truck arterials. The Council identified this
project as a measure to take away that arterial and preserve the integrity of
the residential neighborhood.
C/Werner moved, seconded by C/Harmony to award a contract to E.C.
Construction Co. for the Sunset Crossing Road Cul -De -Sac Improvement
Project in the Amount of $28,500, with a contingency of $3,000. With the

7.9 ADOPTED RESOLUTION NO. 96-07: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR APPROVING THE
APPLICATION FOR GRANT FUNDS FROM THE LOS ANGELES
REGIONAL PARK AND OPEN SPACE DISTRICT PER PARCEL
DISCRETIONARY GRANT PROGRAM FOR DEVELOPMENT OF PANTERA
PARK - CM/Belanger reported that the source of funding for this program will
come from two difference sources: 1) a designated allocation under the
program of $1.49 million and 2) a discretionary amount of money that the
Council may designate to allocate to the overall budget of the program.
With regard to the Lorbeer lighting project, he recommended that the project
continue on the Capital Improvement Program with the source of funding
from Recreation fees.
In response to M/Ansari, CM/Belanger explained that the Lorbeer lighting
project is being discussed with Pomona Unified School District staff and
project construction will be completed when school is not in session. The
project should last no longer than 45-60 days.
MPT/Huff stated that he was pleased that the City was responding to the "not
enough light in parks" issue.
CM/Belanger reported that the Pantera Park project will take place over a
two-year span and will begin this fiscal year with completion in the next fiscal
year.
MPT/Huff moved, seconded C/Harmony seconded to adopt Resolution No.

9.1 SECOND READING 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 - C/Herrera stated that she had received a lot of
community input on this issue. Several small businesses expressed concern
about such an agency and the possible hazards that it could bring into our
community. She asked that the Council take extra care not to harm the
FEBRUARY 6, 1996 PAGE 9
many small businesses in the City.
C/Harmony commented that there are no viable projects in the works in order
to support a redevelopment agency. He requested feedback from other
Council members as to whether or not an agency is a viable project. There
is no money to fund this project.
MPT/Huff stated that would like to see the vacant lots on Golden Springs
and Grand developed as prime tax revenue but that he was opposed to
using redevelopment funds for a road through Tonner Canyon.
C/Werner also stated that he responded at the last meeting that his purpose
for recommending redevelopment is to address top issues, such as traffic,
that have been a concern since the incorporation of the City. The adopted
General Plan endorses the establishment of a redevelopment agency as a
function to address economic development activities.
C/Harmony stated that there is not a lot of tax increment due to falling
property values. The City would not get enough funds to create this project.
He asked what would be done with the Golden Springs/Grand property.
MPT/Huff stated that the consumer survey indicated a demand for more
restaurants.
In response to C/Harmony, CM/Belanger advised that a precise study cost
is unknown until proposals are received from the bidders. The estimate will
be based on the kinds of studies completed by other agencies; however,
there will be two studies completed for an approximate total of $70,000.
C/Wemer moved, seconded by C/Herrera to approve for second reading by
title only, waive full reading and adopt Ordinance No. 01 (1996 declaring the
need for a Redevelopment Agency. With the following Roll Call vote, motion

public transportation. The Access Program is
in the County at a cost of $1.50 per ride with a 45
C/Harmony asked if non-residents were taking advantage of this program.
He stated that the program is very successful and complimented staff and
the management company that provides the service. He asked how the
process would work in getting an I.D. card. He expressed concern with
limiting single trips to 24 and asked how the number of single trips was
determined.
CM/Belanger advised that there had not been a report of any abuse by non-
residents. With regard to the number of trips, an analysis was completed
and out of 300 people, 18 people used the dial -a -cab more than 24 times.
AA/Fritzal reported that there had been several attempts by non-residents
to use the system. Applications for I.D. cards will be mailed to residents
unable to come into City Hall. City Hall remains open late one day each
week for residents to purchase bus transit passes.
With regard to the County program, MPT/Huff asked if the County criteria is
the same as the City and if the County limits the use of their rides. How
much does the City receive each year from Prop A funds and what are the
limitations in spending these funds. At what age is a person considered a
senior.
CM/Belanger advised that the County criteria is much more liberal in that if
a person cannot use public transportation, he or she can use their program
without limitation. Prop A funds received this fiscal year will be in the
amount of $550,000 and are limited to transit and transportation activities.
In D.B., a senior citizen is defined at age 60.
Mike Goldenberg complimented Council and staff for implementation of the
program and expressed concern that the City wants to inhibit the use of the
program because of some minor abuses.
Nancy Villalobos asked what the City would do with surplus Prop A funds if
the funding is reduced. She agreed with the concerns expressed by Mr.
Goldenberg.
Richard Callard also agreed that the program should not be limited.
Regarding Ms. Villalobos comments, CM/Belanger reported that all $518,000
of Prop A monies have been budgeted. Prop A monies must be used within
three years of receipt. At this time, the City is not in any danger of losing
FEBRUARY 6, 1996 PAGE 12
any Prop A monies. With regard to the limited amount of trips, he stated that
limiting trips will only affect people abusing the system.
C/Werner stated that he was opposed to the I.D. requirement. The cab
service will help marketing of local hotels. Further, he objected to Prop A
funds being used for anything else but the dial -a -ride program. The
purchase of Prop A funds should be considered. He stated that he would
like to see this program opened up to everyone in the community. He also
stated that other kinds of rules should be developed.
C/Herrera would like to see the use of I.D. cards for a better way of
controlling who uses the program and for what purpose. She suggested that
before limiting rides per month, implementation of the program should be
phased and ride sharing should be encouraged.
M/Ansari moved, seconded by C/Herrera to begin an I.D. card requirement,
increase the budget amount to $162,000 and send back other concerns
mentioned for staff comment.
A substitute motion was offered by C/Harmony, seconded by C/Werner to
only approve the additional budget amount recommended by staff. With the
following Roll Call vote, the substitute motion failed:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Harmony, Werner
NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Herrera, MPT/Huff, M/Ansari
ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None
With the following Roll Call vote to the original motion carried:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Herrera, Werner, MPT/Huff, M/

NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Harmony
ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None
9.4 UPDATE ON MORNING SUN LANDSLIDE - CE/Wentz reported that, with
regard to the Walnut Valley Unified School District, the erosion control
system had been inspected and found to be stable. The school district's
engineering firm advised that movement occurring on Morning Sun had
nothing to do with their portion of their landslide. With regard to the Patel
property, Patel representatives had been advised of corrective measures
needed to be taken related to their current erosion control, which has failed
with water leakage onto Morning Sun. Work will start this week to control
the erosion. The City is still waiting for information from Mr. Patel related to
the remediation plan, cost estimates and responses to questions by the
City's geotechnical engineer.
FEBRUARY 6, 1996 PAGE 13
M/Ansari asked how the City can get this problem resolved in a reasonable
time.
CE/Wentz stated that engineering staff will continue to place Mr. Patel on
notice.
CM/Belanger stated that both the School District and Mr. Patel have been
informed of their responsibilities to provide information to the City. The City
will continue to monitor the landslide.
CA/Jenkins stated that the school district should make the data reports
available to the City.
C/Werner asked if any properties are in danger with the current land
movement.
CE/Wentz stated that the only damage seen is on Morning Sun Avenue
itself. Without the current data from the school district, the City can only
project what is happening.
C/Werner suggested that the County write a letter to the school district
requesting the data reporting on land movement.
C/Harmony stated that the gopher hole has not yet been prepared and asked
if the city had taken any action with sand bags and plastic.
CE/Wentz advised that the gopher holes should be prepared this week so
that the water can drain toward the storm drain. Mr. Patel will be requested
to make his contractor available to correct any minor happenings on the
Patel property.
MPT/Huff asked if a Closed Session could be scheduled sooner than the
next meeting.
CA/Jenkins stated that there is no life or property threat and that a Closed
Session is appropriate in two weeks.
C/Werner requested that the City's geologist be present at the Closed
Session.
Council agreed to schedule a Closed Session on February 20, 1996. Staff
was directed to meet with the School District and the developers'
representatives.

Williams and Sorensen. Legal costs will not exceed the City's portion of

development activities.
C/Herrera reported on her first meeting with CLOUT in San Bernardino. At
that meeting, economic development was discussed and several attendees
advised that they would be involved in D.B. economic development. She
requested that she be nominated a member of the ad hoc committee.
C/Werner moved, MPT/Huff seconded to appoint M/Ansari and C/Herrera to

4. PUBLIC COMMENTS: 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 and presented a petition signed by the residents in opposition to
this sign.
Marilyn McOwen, Sunbright Dr., presented a proposal for a church community
project and requested permission for a "Sea to Shining Sea" presentation during the
July 3, 1996 Concert in the Park.
JANUARY 16, 1996 PAGE 2
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, spoke in opposition to the "No left -turn" sign at the
Country Hills Towne Center exit and placement of chokers in that neighborhood.
Rose Birch objected to the election of C/Herrera and read a poem about her
deceased son.
Nancy Villalobos expressed concern about the City censoring the presentation of
"Sea to Shining Sea" and supported the presentation.
With regard to 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 their function as well as their impact on the neighborhood. Staff will
present a status report in March 1996.
With regard to the "Sea to Shining Sea" presentation, CA/Jenkins stated that the
group had been offered an opportunity to use the park facility for presentation of this
production any time. He further stated that the park facility would be made available
to any religious group for any similar type of production on their own time, not City
time. He previously advised Mr. Rose that a co-sponsored event between the City
and a church would violate the concept of separation of church and state under the
Constitution. This co-sponsorship would create "an excessive entanglement
between church and state" per the 1 st Amendment, Jurisprudence. He advised that
he would be happy to provide a more comprehensive opinion.
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 a 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 Parks & Recreation Commission previously evaluated
the matter and recommended support in the context of the City Attorney's opinion.
He suggested that staff work with the group in order to not create a conflict with the
establishment clause in the Constitution.
C/Werner objected to any further legal opinion on the matter.
JANUARY 16, 1996 PAGE 3
C/Herrera supported CM/Belanger's suggestion that City staff work with the group
in presenting the event.
M/Ansari appointed a Council ad hoc subcommittee of C/Harmony and C/Werner
to evaluate the matter and work with the church group.
Dr. Adams explained that the project had previously been presented by another
church and was not created by this church.
It was suggested that CSD/Rose be included in the group to evaluate the
presentation.
Dianne Anderson, representing the D.B. Chamber of Commerce, announced the 4th
Annual Benefit Auction to be held March 1, 1996 at 6:30 p.m. at the Shilo Hilltop
Inn.
5. COUNCIL COMMENTS: MPT/Huff stated that he participated in a Sheriff "ride -
along" on Saturday, February 3 and was present during the incident that took place
at the Krikorian Theater. He stressed the involvement of parents in their children's
activities. He was very impressed and supportive of the Sheriffs' patrol. With
regard to the next Agenda, he asked the Council to consider a more permanent
patrol presence in the Krikorian area.
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 a peace officer that night. He advised that he will have
significant enforcement in the area of the Theater 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
stated that opinion polls need to be evaluated carefully. With regard to the "No left -
turn" sign exiting the Krikorian Theater, he stated that several people have ignored
the sign and felt that this sign adversely impacts the neighborhood. With regard to
the Birch's, he expressed his deepest sympathy for the loss of their son.
C/Herrera extended her sincerest sympathies to Mrs. Birch. She announced that
she met with the Senior Citizen Club earlier and relayed the seniors' appreciation
for the City's efforts. Regarding the Puente/Chino Hills National Heritage Corridor,
a meeting will be held on February 15, 1996 at Heritage Park between 7:00 p.m. -
9:00 p.m. She suggested that Council consider holding a Closed Session at her
home on February 13, 1996 to prepare an evaluation of the City Manager.
With regard to the February 13 Closed Session date, M/Ansari expressed concern
that there would not be enough time for a proper evaluation of the City Manager.
JANUARY 16, 1996 PAGE 4
CM/Belanger stated that staff is compiling several sample forms from other cities
for performance evaluation and goals for review..
C/Herrera felt uncomfortable with being a new Councilmember and participating in
an evaluation of CM/Belanger, but stated that she wanted to be involved in
establishing goals for him to accomplish for a future evaluation.
C%Harmony objected with meeting at a private home in that it will be in violation of
the Brown Act.
C/Herrera stated that this would not be in violation of the Brown Act --it would be a
duly -noticed, official City Council meeting.
C/Werner suggested that the Council utilize a questionnaire type of form and share
their comments with each other as done by the past Council.
M/Ansari supported C/Werner's questionnaire -type form suggestion and appointed
an ad hoc committee of MPT/Huff and C/Herrera to evaluate the process to be
used. She indicated that she was opposed to meetings being held at a private
residence.
C/Werner requested that Council recognize Paul Wright at a future meeting with an
appropriate proclamation. He announced that a 1/2% increase in crime activities
had taken place in the last quarter, particularly robbery assaults and vandalism.
Traffic categories had also risen in the last quarter. He reported that at a recent
D.B. Chamber of Commerce meeting, concerns were expressed about the rumors
stating that The Acapulco had closed. The Chamber thanked the City for its support
in putting the recent parade together for the D.B. High School football team. He
then announced that a Household Hazardous Waste Collection would be held in
Pico Rivera on February 10 and Baldwin Park on February 24, 1996. The
Christmas tree collection was down this year due to tree mulching programs and
many of the trees being contaminated with decorations. He suggested that Council
direct staff to provide a policy with regard to acceptance of items donated to the
City.
M/Ansari reported that on January 17, 1996, 4 Council members traveled to
Sacramento to attend a hearing of the California Transportation Commission
regarding the 57/60 HOV connector road. She commended the support of local
legislators on their testimonies before the Commission. She advised that the City
should hear by March as to whether funding had been provided. She reminded
everyone of the first Town Hall Meeting to be held on Saturday, February 10, 1996
at Heritage Park beginning at 9:00 a.m. She invited the public to attend to speak
to the Council about any issues. She expressed concerns regarding Mrs. Birch's
presence at the meeting and extended her sympathies to the Barron and Ferrari
families on the death of MaryAnn Barron.

7.7 AWARDED CONTRACT TO GENTRY BROTHERS, INC. FOR CONSTRUC-
TION OF GOLDEN SPRINGS DRIVE SUBSURFACE DRAINAGE
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (SYLVAN GLEN ROAD TO 500' NORTHERLY)
- CM/Belanger reported that this contract is for construction of the Golden
Springs Drive subsurface drainage improvement project. The project should
begin within two weeks and should solve the current seepage problem.
C/Werner stated that this has been an historic problem and it would be
helpful if a video was presented.

JANUARY 16, 1996 PAGE 7
with all projects, the intent of which is to provide a historical record and a

7.8 AWARDED CONTRACT TO E.C. CONSTRUCTION COMPANY FOR
SUNSET CROSSING ROAD CUL-DE-SAC IMPROVEMENT PROJECT -
CM/Belanger recommended awarding a contract to construct a cul-de-sac
at the westerly terminus of Sunset Crossing Rd., approximately at the
location of the YMCA to begin in early March.
C/Harmony commented that this is one of the City's efforts to stop the MRF
from entering into that neighborhood. The cul-de-sac will keep the City of
Industry at arm's length. Phase II of the project will include a pocket park at
the end of Sunset Crossing.
In response to MPT/Huff, CM/Belanger advised that this award would only
create a cul-de-sac in order to terminate the roadway and will not include
construction of a park. The land behind the cul-de-sac will be available for
parking as well as park uses.
C/Werner stated that the project goes beyond the MRF. There was a Master
Plan prepared by the City of Industry in the 1950's which shows Sunset
Crossing to one of the major truck arterials. The Council identified this
project as a measure to take away that arterial and preserve the integrity of
the residential neighborhood.
C/Werner moved, seconded by C/Harmony to award a contract to E.C.
Construction Co. for the Sunset Crossing Road Cul -De -Sac Improvement
Project in the Amount of $28,500, with a contingency of $3,000. With the

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR APPROVING THE
APPLICATION FOR GRANT FUNDS FROM THE LOS ANGELES
REGIONAL PARK AND OPEN SPACE DISTRICT PER PARCEL
DISCRETIONARY GRANT PROGRAM FOR DEVELOPMENT OF
PANTERA PARK - CM/Belanger reported that the source of funding for this
program will come from two difference sources: 1) a designated allocation
under the program of $1.49 million and 2) a discretionary amount of money
that the Council may designate to allocate to the overall budget of the
program. With regard to the Lorbeer lighting project, he recommended that
the project continue on the Capital Improvement Program with the source of
funding from Recreation fees.
In response to M/Ansari, CM/Belanger explained that the Lorbeer lighting
project is being discussed with Pomona Unified School District staff and
project construction will be completed when school is not in session. The
project should last no longer than 45-60 days.
MPT/Huff stated that he was pleased that the City was responding to the "not
enough light in parks" issue.

two-year span and will begin this fiscal year with completion in the next fiscal
year.

9.1 SECOND READING 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 - C/Herrera stated that she had received a lot of
community input on this issue. Several small businesses expressed concern
about such an agency and the possible hazards that it could bring into our
community. She asked that the Council take extra care not to harm the
JANUARY 16, 1996 PAGE 9
many small businesses in the City.
C/Harmony commented that there are no viable projects in the works in order
to support a redevelopment agency. He requested feedback from other
Council members as to whether or not an agency is a viable project. There
is no money to fund this project.
MPT/Huff stated that would like to see the vacant lots on Golden Springs and
Grand developed as prime tax revenue but that he was opposed to using
redevelopment funds for a road through Tonner Canyon.
C/ Werner also stated that he responded at the last meeting that his purpose
for recommending redevelopment is to address top issues, such as traffic,
that have been a concern since the incorporation of the City. The adopted
General Plan endorses the establishment of a redevelopment agency as a
function to address economic development activities.
C/Harmony stated that there is not a lot of tax increment due to falling
property values. The City would not get enough funds to create this project.
He asked what would be done with the Golden Springs/Grand property.
MPT/Huff stated that the consumer survey indicated a demand for more
restaurants.
In response to C/Harmony, CM/Belanger advised that a precise study cost
is unknown until proposals are received from the bidders. The estimate will
be based on the kinds of studies completed by other agencies; however,
there will be two studies completed for an approximate total of $70,000.
C/Werner moved, seconded by C/Herrera to approve for second reading by
title only, waive full reading and adopt Ordinance No. 01 (1996 declaring the

THE DIAMOND BAR MUNICIPAL CODE ADOPTING REQUIREMENTS
AND STANDARDS RELATING TO THE COLLECTION, RECYCLING,
JANUARY 16, 1996 PAGE 10
TRANSPORTATION, AND DISPOSAL OF SOLID WASTE, RECYCLABLE
AND COMPOSTABLE MATERIALS - CM/Belanger reported that this would
repeal the previous Ordinance establishing a system for setting standards
and permitting waste haulers to operate within the City. The intent is to make
the system more functional and user friendly.
C/Harmony asked how it would affect Monday trash pick-up.
CM/Belanger stated that the there would be no immediate effect. The
Ordinance doesn't set forth dates; however, it provides staff an opportunity
to discuss schedules with waste haulers permitted within the City.
Richard Callard, Palomino, stated that his trash is picked up on Tuesday and
complained that by having trash picked up on a second day creates a mess.
He suggested that haulers return to collecting one day a week only.
Nancy Villalobos agreed that waste haulers should return to one day a week
collection only.
C/Harmony requested that the ad hoc committee come back to Council with
additional options.
CNVerner moved, seconded by M/Ansari to approve second reading by title
only, waive full reading and adopt Ordinance No. 02(1996) repealing
Ordinance 02(1996), Ordinance 02(1990 and Ordinance 02A(1990) and
revising Chapter 8.16, Title 8. With the following Roll Call vote, motion

9.3 DIAMOND RIDE - DIAL -A -CAB STATUS REPORT - CM/Belanger reported
that over 300 people each month are provided services through this
program. In analyzing the data, the people that utilize dial -a -ride use the
program for medical activities as well as leisure activities. In order to assure
that the funding level be maintained, he recommended (1) that the number
of trips be limited to 24 single trips per month per person; (2) increase the
use of the shared rides in scheduling trips; (3) establish an identification card
system for the program; (4) increase the contract by $28,000, for a total
contract of $172,000 and a total budget of $182,000.
M/Ansari asked staff to explain other services that are available to the
handicapped.
JANUARY 16, 1996
PAGE 11
CM/Belanger reported that the County provides a service that includes
persons unable to use public transportation. The Access Program is
available to anywhere in the County at a cost of $1.50 per ride with a 45
minute waiting period.
C/Harmony asked if non-residents were taking advantage of this program.
He stated that the program is very successful and complimented staff and
the management company that provides the service. He asked how the
process would work in getting an I.D. card. He expressed concern with
limiting single trips to 24 and asked how the number of single trips was
determined.
CM/Belanger advised that there had not been a report of any abuse by non-
residents. With regard to the number of trips, an analysis was completed
and out of 300 people, 18 people used the dial -a -cab more than 24 times.
AA/Fritzal reported that there had been several attempts by non-residents to
use the system. Applications for I. D. cards will be mailed to residents unable
to come into City Hall. City Hall remains open late one day each week for
residents to purchase bus transit passes.
With regard to the County program, MPT/Huff asked if the County criteria is
the same as the City and if the County limits the use of their rides. How
much does the City receive each year from Prop A funds and what are the
limitations in spending these funds. At what age is a person considered a
senior.
CM/Belanger advised that the County criteria is much more liberal in that if
a person cannot use public transportation, he or she can use their program
without limitation. Prop A funds received this fiscal year will be in the amount
of $550,000 and are limited to transit and transportation activities. In D.B.,
a senior citizen is defined at age 60.
Mike Goldenberg complimented Council and staff for implementation of the
program and expressed concern that the City wants to inhibit the use of the
program because of some minor abuses.
Nancy Villalobos asked what the City would do with surplus Prop A funds if
the funding is reduced. She agreed with the concerns expressed by Mr.
Goldenberg.
Richard Callard also agreed that the program should not be limited.
Regarding Ms. Villalobos comments, CM/Belanger reported that all $518,000
of Prop A monies have been budgeted. Prop A monies must be used within
JANUARY 16, 1996 PAGE 12
three years of receipt. At this time, the City is not in any danger of losing any
Prop A monies. With regard to the limited amount of trips, he stated that
limiting trips will only affect people abusing the system.
C/Werner stated that he was opposed to the I.D. requirement. The cab
service will help marketing of local hotels. Further, he objected to Prop A
funds being used for anything else but the dial -a -ride program. The
purchase of Prop A funds should be considered. He stated that he would
like to see this program opened up to everyone in the community. He also
stated that other kinds of rules should be developed.
C/Herrera would like to see the use of I.D. cards for a better way of
controlling who uses the program and for what purpose. She suggested that
before limiting rides per month, implementation of the program should be
phased and ride sharing should be encouraged.
M/Ansari moved, seconded by C/Herrera to begin an I.D. card requirement,
increase the budget amount to $182,000 and send back other concerns
mentioned for staff comment.
A substitute motion was offered by C/Harmony, seconded by C/Werner to
only approve the additional budget amount recommended by staff. With the
following Roll Call vote, the substitute motion failed:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Harmony, Werner
NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Herrera, MPT/Huff, M/Ansari

9.4 UPDATE ON MORNING SUN LANDSLIDE - CE/Wentz reported that, with
regard to the Walnut Valley Unified School District, the erosion control
system had been inspected and found to be stable. The school district's
engineering firm advised that movement occurring on Morning Sun had
nothing to do with their portion of their landslide. With regard to the Patel
property. Patel representatives had been advised of corrective measures
needed to be taken related to their current erosion control, which has failed
with water leakage onto Morning Sun. Work will start this week to control the
erosion. The City is still waiting for information from Mr. Patel related to the
remediation plan, cost estimates and responses to questions by the City's
JANUARY 16, 1996 PAGE 13
geotechnical engineer.
M/Ansari asked how the City can get this problem resolved in a reasonable
time.
CE/Wentz stated that engineering staff will continue to place Mr. Patel on
notice.
CM/Belanger stated that both the School District and Mr. Patel have been
informed of their responsibilities to provide information to the City. The City
will continue to monitor the landslide.
CA/Jenkins stated that the school district should make the data reports
available to the City.
C/Werner asked if any properties are in danger with the current land
movement.
CE/Wentz stated that the only damage seen is on Morning Sun Avenue
itself. Without the current data from the school district, the City can only
project what is happening.
C/Werner suggested that the County write a letter to the school district
requesting the data reporting on land movement.
C/Harmony stated that the gopher hole has not yet been prepared and asked
if the city had taken any action with sand bags and plastic.
CE/Wentz advised that the gopher holes should be prepared this week so
that the water can drain toward the storm drain. Mr. Patel will be requested
to make his contractor available to correct any minor happenings on the
Patel property.
MPT/Huff asked if a Closed Session could be scheduled sooner than the
next meeting.
CA/Jenkins stated that there is no life or property threat and that a Closed
Session is appropriate in two weeks.
C/Werner requested that the City's geologist be present at the Closed
Session.
Council agreed to schedule a Closed Session on February 20, 1996. Staff
was directed to meet with the School District and the developers'
representatives.

C/Harmony stated that the General Plan offers what the City of Industry's plans are
for the Tres Hermanos property.
C/Werner corrected C/Harmony in that there is no specific plan on the Tres
Hermanos property. The prior City Council participated with the City of Industry in
an Economic Analysis to explore land use opportunities. There are no land use
policies in place other than what is reflected in the General Plan.
M/Ansari further advised that during the Four Corners Transportation Meeting, the
Tonner Canyon owners discussed the intentions for their property. John Balis, City
Engineer for the City of Industry, advised that they wanted to develop a large
potable water reservoir and a reclaimed water reservoir on the Tres Hermanos
property.
MPT/Huff stated that he had met with the City of Industry and that they are not
using the Tres Hermanos property as a bargaining tool. It was made very clear that
the reservoir plans and the MRF plans are not welcome in D.B.
In response to C/Harmony, CM/Belanger advised that the economic analysis
prepared for D.B. and Industry was not a specific plan but a conceptual document.
Upon its conclusion, it presented three altemative concepts for use of the property.
One of the goals discussed for the land sites included a high school within the
Pomona Unified School District.
M/Ansari introduced Don Schad, Vice Chairman, Planning Commission; Joe
Ruzicka, Chairman, Parks & Recreation Commission; Mike Goldenberg, Vice
Chairman, Parks & Recreation Commission; Jack Istik, Chairman, Traffic &
Transportation Commission; Dexter MacBride, former D.B. Council member and
current Trustee to the Mt. Sac Board of Trustees and D. B.'s representative to the
L.A. County Vector Control Board.
M/Ansari asked how much the MRF will cost the City of Industry.
CM/Belanger stated that the City of Industry will be able to construct a MRF without
having to show a contracted waste stream. The estimated cost is unknown and it
is not known how the money will be provided. The design shows a lot of rail and
sound control.
Jack Istik, Chairman, Traffic & Transportation Commission, stated that the MRF will
become a permanent facility with a rail transfer station. He asked the Council to
support the fight against the MRF. The General Plan Committee proposed that the
City of Industry land be used for one high school and one house.
MPT/Huff stated that it is in the City's interest to find a MRF that can handle the
city's recyclables; however, the proposed site is too close to schools, homes, etc.
FEBRUARY 10, 1996 PAGE 3
M/Ansari advised that the MRF site will also be used as a major rail station for
transportation of waste products.
2. Local/Regional Traffic Issues - CM/Belanger reported that the City has been
actively pursuing traffic improvements within the City and freeway corridors. HOV
projects have been approved on the 60 and 57 freeways. The Council has been
to Sacramento to meet with local legislators and appeared before the CTC. A
lobbyist who specializes in CTC activities to assist us in making sure that the 60/57
interchange project remains at a funding level in 1996. He further reported on
completed street improvements on D.B. Blvd and Grand Ave. During the 1996
calendar year, portions of D.B. Blvd., Pathfinder Rd., Brea Canyon Rd. and all of
Sunset Crossing will be resurfaced. All above -ground Edison equipment is
presently being relocated to underground. Estimated completion time is set for
before summer. With regard to the Heritage Homes, traffic signs have been in
place for traffic cut -through control. A traffic control study is currently being
conducted in the area of the Quail Summit Homes with regard to traffic cut -through.
Once the data is compiled, there will be two workshops to review and comment on
the results.
Jack Istik reported on the proposed park at the Sunset Crossing cul-de-sac. He
asked that prior to resurfacing Sunset Crossing, that the street be narrowed for a
more residential look. Traffic coming off of the 57 freeway south are not directed
as to where the 60 freeway on ramps are.
C/Werner suggested that Cal Trans place signs directing the traffic off of the
freeway to the 60 freeway on ramps.
Carl Fekete asked that everyone, including pedestrians, respect and abide traffic
lights and signs. Further, he complained about the volume of noise impacting his
neighborhood during D.B. High School activities.
C/Wemer stated that school traffic will be addressed by the school sub committee.
There is no effort on behalf of the school district to provide any traffic management
and suggested to the school districts to work with the City to help manage school
traffic and parking.
M/Ansari is in favor of CANerner's suggestion.
Mr. Klute is looking forward to the traffic study workshop. He reported that both
school districts were invited to attend the Traffic & Transportation meeting. Mr.
Evans, Walnut Valley School District, indicated that traffic issues are the City's
problem and the problem should be dealt with on a school -by -school basis. Mr.
Walsh, Pomona Unified School District, brought representatives to help initiate a
plan with City staff. The "no parking" in front of Castle Rock School has helped.
Traffic enforcement is needed during the a.m., afternoon and p.m. hours. With
regard to Brea Canyon improvement projects, he requested for a time line. He also
FEBRUARY 10, 1996 PAGE 4
asked for an update on the expansion of the 57/60/D.B. Blvd. park -n -ride facility.
With regard to the Brea Canyon project, C/Werner advised that L.A. County
presented a list of project list deficiencies in the amount of $5,000,000. Issues for
development of Brea Canyon Road are under discussion.
CM/Belanger reported that freeway off ramp lights and signs are provided through
the County and staff will follow up on the areas in need. The 57/60/D. B. park -n -ride
is being completed by CalTrans and staff will follow up on the completion. Brea
Canyon Rd. has been discussed at the staff and Council level. This has been a
long term project due to the desire to protect the existing roads with resurfacing.
This is on the project list as a two-phase project with concerns of the incorporation
of trees, sidewalks and roads.
Mr. Law thanked David Liu and Kellee Fritzal for their continued efforts. There is
a problem with students not using city sidewalks and requested that the Sheriff start
issuing "jaywalking" tickets.
IWAnsari requested that this issue be addressed with the school sub committee and
the school districts.
Dexter MacBride expressed appreciation for the City's promotion of the Town Hall
Meeting. He read an article from the Tribune regarding Proposition 203 the school
construction bond measure and urged the community to vote in favor of the
proposition.
C/Werner asked if Proposition 203 will help support Walnut Unified School District
schools.
Don Schad requested an update on Larkstone Park and recommended that staff
work with the Walnut Unified School District in obtaining trees from each state for
planting in Larkstone. He commented that Sandstone Canyon should not be
developed. He thanked Council and staff for holding this Town Hall Meeting.
CM/Belanger reported that the City and the Walnut Unified School District need to
agree on a trade of approximately 3 acres. It has been indicated to the school
district that the park will not be developed across the street from the school. Sub
committees will be developed to investigate a proper location for this park. State
grant applications have been completed relating to the placement of trails both in
Sandstone Canyon and upper Sycamore Canyon.
3. Pantera Park Project - Mr. Klute asked why the developer never completed this
park and asked for an update.
CM/Belanger advised that Pantera Park consists of approximately 23 acres. This
land was donated by a developer and donated through Quimby funds. As a result
FEBRUARY 10, 1996 PAGE 5
of the home development in that area, the money went to County Parks and the City
received the land but no development money when it incorporated. The County
had an opportunity to vote on 'The Safe Park" Bond Act and one of the projects in
that act specifically set forth was the construction of Pantera Park. Funds allocated
to this park is $1.4 million in non -discretionary money and $500,000 in discretionary
money. The concept of the park has been approved by Parks & Recreation and
Planning Commissions and Council and plans and specifications are currently
being prepared with construction starting the summer of 1996. Trees for the park
have been budgeted; however, several developers owe the City trees which will be
a part of their mitigation. A community center has not been recommended for this
park because of no major arterial existing in that neighborhood.
CDD/DeStefano advised that the tree palette includes walnuts, oaks and
sycamores, which will be provided through the developer's obligations. A trail
system will be developed with signage indicating the different tree species.
CM/Belanger advised that other trees have been discussed but not implemented
into the plan as of yet.
4. Additional Topics of Interest - Jack Gutowski asked if the two individuals were
identified as gang members in the stabbing of a police officer at the Krikorian
Theater incident. Does the City have a proactive plan in dealing with or policing the
young people in our community.
M/Ansari advised that she has requested a copy of the youth program from the
Cities of Claremont and Santa Clarita.
CM/Belanger stated that the incident at the theater was not gang -related, but rather,
two people that had too much to drink. There have been gang incidents in D.B. and
there has been a special force assigned to deal with the young people.
Deputy Luter stated that the two off-duty deputies did everything possible to not get
involved.
Eli Ply, Assistant News Editor of the D.B. High School newspaper, stated that
because some students fail to obey the law, other students should be not
characterized as irresponsible.
Ms. Jefferson indicated that her two sons have been harassed by the Sheriff and
the Sheriff has an involvement problem and they need to be a more supportive
force.
M/Ansari suggested that the communication between the Sheriff and the community
needs to be addressed and discussed at the next Town Hall meeting.
C/Harmony stated that he supports the Sheriff Department; however, many
FEBRUARY 10, 1996 PAGE 6
residents have complained about speeding tickets being issued.
M/Ansari asked for comments in regard to holding Town Hall Meetings and how
often they should be held. She advised that MPT/Huff and she will be meeting with
staff and the waste companies to discuss the trash pick up.
ADJOURNMENT: M/Ansari adjourned the Town Hall Meeting at 12:00 p.m.

I. APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
A. Meeting of November 9, 1995.
C/Gravdahl made a motion, seconded by C/Virginkar
to approve the minutes of the November 9, 1995.
C/Ortiz requested an update on his motion to place
Craig C1ute's concerns about the Calvary Chapel
traffic and the Pathfinder Bridge striping on the
agenda. DDPW/Liu responded that the Calvary
Chapel issue was discussed at the November, 1995
meeting. Pathfinder Bridge striping is an
information item on tonight's agenda. With
respect to the cart racks in front of K -Mart, the
City is awaiting a response from the Fire
Department. The City is continuing to work with
the Walnut Valley Unified School District and the
Pomona Unified School District to improve student
drop-off and pick-up locations at various schools
in the City.
Sgt. Rawlings responded to C/Ortiz that the
traffic situation at Calvary Chapel exceeds the
authority of the Sheriff's Department. He
indicated temporary engineering changes in the
January 11, 1996 Page 2 T&T COMMISSION
traffic flow at peak hours may be necessary.
Responding to C/Ortiz, DDPW/Liu indicated further
dialogue is necessary between the City and the
Sheriff's Department regarding traffic flow for
Calvary Chapel at peak hours. C/Ortiz requested
staff to present an update to the Traffic and
Transportation Commission at the next meeting.
DDPW/Liu responded to C/Ortiz that the access road
for Diamond Ranch High School is on the February
8, 1996 Traffic and Transportation agenda.
Furthermore, the City Manager will be meeting with
Patrick Leier, Pomona Unified School District
Superintendent, next week to discuss various items
pertaining to the new high school.

II. COMMISSION COMMENTS:
C/Gravdahl stated he will retire effective February 28,
1996. He indicated he has served on the Traffic and
Transportation Commission since its formation in 1989.
He thanked the Commissioners, staff and Sgt. Rawlings
for their support.
C/Gravdahl requested the Commission first discuss item
A under New Business. The Commission concurred.
C/Ortiz stated he was contacted by Chuck Payne, a
Diamond Bar citizen, who requested a pavement marking
which reads "Do Not Block Intersection" on Diamond Bar
Boulevard at Palomino Drive. DDPW/Liu responded that
the traffic signal design is in process for the
intersections of Palomino Drive at Diamond Bar
January 11, 1996 Page 3 T&T COMMISSION
Boulevard and Goldrush Drive at Diamond Bar Boulevard.
It will not be proper to implement pavement marking at
this time.
DDPW/Liu responded to C/Ortiz that there is
approximately $15,000 left of the $38,000 allocated for
Traffic Consultant Services in Fiscal Year 1995-1996.
He informed the Commission that the 1996-1997 fiscal
year budget has not been prepared.
VI. NEW BUSINESS
A. Request to remove parking prohibition on the north
side of southbound Golden Springs Drive at Ballena
Drive.
DDPW/Liu read the staff report into the record. Staff
recommends that the Traffic and Transportation
Commission deny the request to remove the parking
prohibition on the north side of southbound Golden
Springs Drive at Ballena Drive.
Al Rumpilla, 23958 Golden Springs Drive, stated he
submitted a letter to the city requesting the removal
of the "No Stopping Anytime" signs on Golden Springs
Drive at Ballena Drive. He further stated there have
been no problems with the parents dropping off their
children in front of the school. Prior to the
installation of the signs, approximately 60 cars per
day used the location for student drop-off and pick-up.
Since the installation of the signs, the number of cars
per day has decreased to approximately 30. Prior to
installation of the traffic signal at Ballena Drive and
Golden Springs Drive, there were approximately 35
accidents per year. Since installation of the signal
in 1988, there has been one minor incident involving
two vehicles and one incident involving a vehicle
colliding with a student in the crosswalk. He
indicated he is not opposed to the city's proposal to
install bike lanes on Golden Springs Drive. However,
he stated he sees only a couple of students riding
their bicycles on Golden Springs Drive during the week.
He estimated that only about 10 bicycles per year that
proceed past his house on Golden Springs Drive.
However, there are approximately 200 to 300 automobiles
dropping students at the school. Since the
installation of the signs, he indicated the parents are
January 11, 1996 Page 4 T&T COMMISSION
now parking their cars in his cul-de-sac and walking
their children across Golden Springs Drive which he
feels is dangerous. He requested the city remove the
signs and allow the prior practice of parents parking
in front of the school to continue. He further
proposed that, to satisfy the grant money for the
bicycle lanes and to satisfy the parents, the curb
should be painted green to provide a 20 minute time
limit for parking. He suggested that the bicycle lanes
could be interrupted at the intersection with parking
from the northeast corner in front of the school
westbound to the end of the school fence line and
reinstated beyond the parking area. In his opinion,
the city is seeking grant money at the expense of
safety for the students.
Craig Clute, 21217 Fountain Springs Drive, questioned
enforcement and suggested the city might need another
enforcement officer. He asked if the green zone is an
option and if it would be enforced. He stated there is
a need to proceed with discussions between the school
districts and the city regarding traffic flow at
various school sites.
C/Gravdahl stated he voted against installation of the
"No Stopping Anytime" signs at the school. He
indicated El Encino Drive has approximately 40 parking
spaces available in the vicinity of the school. He
suggested center striping and vehicle parking lanes.
He further suggested the school install a gate closer
to Golden Springs Drive. El Encino Drive has four
ingress and egress locations with no homes fronting the
street and the easterly side. In his opinion, the
street should be available to parents for student drop-
off and pick-up with the prohibition on Golden Springs
Drive. He continued that "No Stopping Anytime" signs
should be placed on the street to preserve the
temporary drop areas.
C/Ortiz stated that on November 16, 1995, he received
Al Rumpilla's memorandum. On Monday, November 20, he
conducted a survey at the school from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m.
He further stated he identified himself to the school
personnel. The staff parking consists of 29 marked
stalls plus two handicapped stalls. He indicated his
concern that school personnel are directing traffic
which leaves the school district open to liability. He
January 11, 1996 Page 5 T&T COMMISSION
stated that during the survey he did not see one
bicycle on Golden Springs Drive. He counted twenty-two
traffic violations on Golden Springs Drive involving
student drop-off, unlawful U-turns on Golden Springs
Drive, speeding vehicles and double-parked vehicles.
He pointed out that school buses legally dropped
students. However, the buses were left unattended for
up to one-half hour at the red curb. Upon identifying
himself, C/Ortiz stated he was told by the bus drivers
that they use the school facilities, prepare their
reports, and have coffee. He stated he supports
allowing student drop-off on Golden Springs Drive. He
asked if the curb could be reduced by approximately six
feet in front of the school and a circular drive
installed to allow for temporary vehicular parking. In
his opinion, Golden Springs Drive is currently wide
enough to allow limited loading and unloading vehicle
parking.
C/Ortiz stated Chief Heilman, Pomona Police Department,
agreed to promote safety for all Pomona Unified School
District students. He requested the Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Department to cooperate with the Pomona
Police Department in promoting a safety and information
program.
Sgt. Rawlings responded to C/Gravdahl that the ice-
cream truck vendors are allowed to be anywhere on the
City streets. However, they may not remain standing at
a location unless they are conducting business.
DDPW/Liu responded to VC/Leonard that regardless of the
bicycle lane project, stopping or parking at the school
location on Golden Springs Drive constitutes a traffic
hazard and impedes the flow of traffic. Golden Springs
Drive is a major arterial and the prima facia speed on
Golden Springs Drive exceeds 50 MPH.
C/Virginkar expressed concern regarding traffic
stopping on Golden Springs Drive at the school site.
He indicated he prefers that the pick-up and drop-off
of students be conducted on Ballena Drive or E1 Encino
Drive. In his opinion, the safety concerns should be
investigated for all schools within the city and any
decision relating to change in policy should be
postponed until the study is complete.
January 11, 1996 Page 6 T&T COMMISSION
C/Gravdahl suggested the following steps: Obtain a
legal opinion from the City Attorney regarding
elimination of the "No Parking Anytime" signs, and
obtain a waiver from the agency providing grant money
for the bicycle lane project. He stated the school
zone has a 25 MPH speed limit. He further stated he
does not regard the area from Ballena Drive westerly to
toward Diamond Bar Boulevard where the parents drop off
their children as a hazardous area. He suggested
exploring El Encino Drive as an alternative street for
student drop off.
C/Gravdahl made a motion, seconded by C/Ortiz to have
staff contact the City Attorney regarding the removal
of the "No Parking Anytime", to contact the grant
agency regarding a waiver of the bicycle lane program,
provide striping on El Encino Drive for student drop
off and pick up, and to promote the use of El Encino
Drive through a parent educational program.
C/Ortiz requested to know the cost of reconstructing
the sidewalk area in front of the school to provide a
turnout area for student drop off and pick up. He
stated that the 20 minute loading and unloading
designation is white, not green. DDPW/Liu responded
that the minimum sidewalk width allowed is 5 feet. To
eliminate the 5 foot wide sidewalk and the 5 foot wide
parkway and convert the area to a street carries a
substantial cost. He indicated he would have to obtain
a quote for construction. However, he stated he does
not believe the proposal is feasible without full
assessment of the situation and investigation of all
possibilities for mitigation. He suggested the Traffic
and Transportation Commission table any decision until
discussions between the city and schools have been
completed and the information compiled and presented to
the Commission. With respect to the bicycle lane
project, the MTA grant money has been allocated to the
city and the project is moving forward. The City
Council has awarded the bicycle lane project contract
and construction will begin in approximately two weeks.
Alteration of the project at this time may result in
loss of future grant monies. The city's bicycle lane
project has been in the works for approximately four
years and is part of the San Gabriel Valley Bikeway
Master Plan. He stated that, at this time, the City is
contractually obligated to proceed with the bicycle
January 11, 1996 Page 7 T&T COMMISSION
lane project.
measures deem
blacked out.
At some future date, if mitigation
it necessary, the bicycle lanes could be
VC/Leonard stated she would like to see the bicycle
lane project go forward with the option to black out
the lanes later.
DDPW/Liu responded to C/Gravdahl that staff's
recommendation is for the Traffic and Transportation
Commission to wait until all of the information and
input is available from the various schools. Once the
information is assessed staff will present mitigation
recommendations to the Commission for consideration.
There are various possibilities to consider at the site
in question.
VC/Leonard stated she would like to have the Commission
concur with staff's recommendation.
C/Ortiz requested the option of street reconstruction
and the education of parents by the schools be included
in C/Gravdahl's motion. The Commission concurred.
Sgt. Rawlings stated that he initially agreed with Mr.
Rumpilla that parking should be allowed on Golden
Springs Drive at Ballena Drive. However, he cited an
incident on Chino Hills Parkway in which a Sheriff's
Department officer had stopped to aid a motorists and
was hit by a passing vehicle traveling approximately 45
MPH. The officer was severely injured. The vehicle
involved in the accident was traveling at the
approximate speed vehicles allowed on Golden Springs
Drive. Therefore, when parents exit their vehicles, it
becomes a very hazardous situation and the overriding
consideration is safety.
VC/Leonard called for the question.
The motion was carried 4-0 with the following roll
call:

PUBLIC COMMENTS
Craig Clute, 21217 Fountain Springs Drive, thanked
Commissioner Gravdahl for his years of service on the
Traffic and Transportation Commission. He stated open
enrollment has changed traffic circulation for the
schools. He suggested public workshops to address the
situation. He thanked the Traffic and Transportation
Commission for their work on the Neighborhood Traffic
Study. He indicated he is somewhat disappointed with
the DKS Associates proposal. He asked that a member of
the Traffic and Transportation Commission participate
in the workshop to address traffic chokers. Regarding
stop sign warrants, he suggested available data could
be used to supplement the warrant and save expense to
the City. There are studies available for Castlerock
Road and Cold Spring Lane which could be utilized. He
requested right arrow markings at the driveway exiting
the Country Hills Towne Center onto Fountain Springs
Drive. He again requested full sized 25 MPH speed

DDPW/Liu responded to Mr. Clute that public testimony
was received by City Council regarding the Neighborhood
Traffic Study on Tuesday, January 9. City Council
concurred with staff's recommendation to proceed with
Part 1 of Plan I, the signing and striping phase. The
Traffic and Transportation Commission recommended that
City Council approve both Parts 1 and 2 of Plan I.
Approximately six months after implementation staff and
the neighborhood steering committee will evaluate the
effectiveness of Part 1. If further mitigation
measures are deemed necessary, staff will recommend the
January 11, 1996 Page 9 T&T COMMISSION
implementation of Part 2 of Plan I. This process will
be handled by staff with the neighborhood steering
committee and the City Council. Part 1 of Plan I
improvements will be in place in approximately one
month. During the process the following intersections
will be re-evaluated for stop sign warrants: Fountain
Springs Road at Castlerock Road, Fountain Springs Road
at Brea Canyon Road, Cold Spring Lane at Brea Canyon
Road and Cold Spring Lane at Castlerock Road. Staff
believes that if stop signs can be warranted at these
key locations, most of the speeding problems can be
eliminated. DDPW/Liu continued that the City Council
anticipates a field trip for early Spring to visit
cities that have installed chokers and other mitigation
measures proposed by the Neighborhood Traffic Study.
The City Council has indicated that the first workshop
will probably take place at the Heritage Park Community
Center. The Council is very concerned that no extreme
measures such as chokers be implemented without the
consent of the neighborhood residents.
DDPW/Liu continued that the city's Truck Route
Ordinance specifies the weight to be at 10,000 pounds
(5 ton). A commercial truck is allowed to use any city
street if the destination is for loading and unloading
purposes. The neighborhood streets are classified
"Residential" in the City's General Plan.
DDPW/Liu responded to C/Gravdahl that the two 3 Ton
pound signs on Cold Spring Lane will be replaced.
DDPW/Liu responded to C/Virginkar that school
pedestrian and vehicle traffic flows will be included
in the consideration of Part 2 of Plan I, installation
of chokers.
Sgt. Rawlings stated he is concerned about the
commercial truck traffic in the neighborhood and in the
City. He asked if the City has considered designating
Pathfinder Road and Diamond Bar Boulevard between
Pathfinder Road and Cold Spring Lane as a truck route.
Such a designation would make it illegal for commercial
vehicles to cut through Cold Spring Lane and Fountain
Springs Road.
DDPW/Liu stated the intent of the City has been to
maintain a "truck route free" atmosphere. A change in
January 11, 1996 Page 10 T&T COMMISSION
this policy will involve the City Council.
VC/Leonard requested that Sgt. Rawlings proposal be put
on a future agenda for consideration by the Commission.
Sgt. Rawlings responded to C/Ortiz that the Sheriff's
Department has suggested that all contract cities that
seek commercial vehicle enforcement contract for a full
time or part time commercial enforcement vehicle. None
of the cities currently serviced by the Walnut Division
have expressed an interest in a commercial enforcement
vehicle or in commercial vehicle enforcement. There is
very little commercial vehicle traffic in Diamond Bar.
C/Ortiz suggested the City utilize video service to
enhance or replace the field trip scheduled to view the
traffic mitigation measures. DDPW/Liu responded that
he would contact the City Manager regarding C/Ortiz's
suggestion.
IV. CONSENT CALENDAR
A. Provide school crossing guard services at Neil
Armstrong Elementary School.
DDPW/Liu read the staff report into the record. Staff
recommends that the Traffic and Transportation
Commission recommend to the City Council that crossing
guard services be provided at the intersection of
Beaverhead Drive and Cottonwood Cove Drive in Fiscal
Year 1996-1997.
C/Gravdahl made a motion, seconded by C/Ortiz to
approve staff's recommendation to recommend to the City
Council that crossing guard services be provided at the
intersection of Beaverhead Drive and Cottonwood Cove
Drive in Fiscal Year 1996-1997. The motion was
approved 4-0 with the following roll call:

A. Multi -Way Stop Warrant Analysis at the intersection of
Silver Hawk Drive and Santaquin Drive.
DDPW/Liu stated a study was conducted at the
intersection of Silver Hawk Drive and Santaquin Drive.
The consultant concluded the multi -way stop sign is not
warranted at the location. The consultant recommended
that the city put down a "slow" pavement marking and
paint the curb red in front of the corner property.
Staff recommends that the City install signs to
indicate a T -intersection on Santaquin Drive
approaching Silver Hawk Drive. He stated he monitored
the area and observed a motorhome parked at the corner.
However, he does not recommend painting the curb red
until the resident has been properly notified.
Staff recommends that T -Intersection signs be installed
with the 25 MPH signs on both sides of Santaquin Drive
at Silver Hawk Drive.
C/Virginkar stated that, in his opinion, this is an
enforcement issue.
C/Ortiz stated that he would like the curb painted red.
The recreational vehicle is parked at the curb for
weeks at a time and creates a hazard for vehicles
making a left hand turn from Santaquin Drive onto
Silver Hawk Drive.
C/Ortiz made a motion, seconded by C/Virginkar to deny
staff's recommendation and approve the consultant's
recommendation to install "SLOW" pavement marking
approximately 100' prior to the intersection on both
approaches of Santaquin Drive and painting 30' of red
curb along the southwest corner of the intersection on
Santaquin Drive to improve turning visibility for
northbound drivers along Silver Hawk Drive. The motion
was approved 4-0 with the following roll call:

B. 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
January 11, 1996 Page 13 T&T COMMISSION
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.
The motion was carried 3-1 with the following roll
call:
AYES: COMMISSIONERS: VC/Leonard, Ortiz, Virginkar
NOES: COMMISSIONERS: Gravdahl
ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: None
ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: Chair/Istik
VII. STATUS OF PREVIOUS ACTION ITEMS
DDPW/Liu stated the bids were opened for construction
of the left turn signals on Golden Springs Drive at
Diamond Bar Boulevard, Golden Springs Drive at Brea
Canyon Road and Diamond Bar Boulevard at Mountain
Laurel Way.
VIII. ITEMS FROM COMMISSIONERS - None
IX. ITEMS FROM STAFF
DDPW/Liu stated the future agenda items from staff are
included in the Commissioner's packets.
X. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
A. Pathfinder Bridge striping.
DDPW/Liu stated the encroachment permit has just been
obtained from CalTrans. The City is prepared to
proceed with the striping requested for the eastbound
side of the Pathfinder Bridge. However, he indicated
that after reviewing the existing signage, the parking
restrictions indicate "No Stopping 6:00 a.m. to 8:00
a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. except Saturday and
January 11, 1996 Page 14 T&T COMMISSION
Sunday." He stated that if the signs are effective
there may not be a need to stripe the bridge. He
requested the item be postponed to a later meeting in
order to give staff, Mr. Clute and the business owners
an opportunity to give their input. The Commission
concurred.
B. Enforcement policy in Diamond Bar.
Sgt. Rawlings reiterated there is no specific
enforcement policy for each individual city. The
Traffic chapter of the Vehicle Enforcement manual used
by the Sheriff's Department states that "deputy
personnel shall take appropriate action to enforce
traffic law as outlined in the Policy and Ethics
chapter". The Policy and Ethics chapter relates to
traffic law enforcement in contract cities "except when
otherwise officially engaged, deputy personnel on duty
in a contract city who witness any traffic violation,
shall take appropriate action to arrest, cite or
warrant violators unless otherwise exempt by department
regulations". The Sheriff's Department has more
enforcement staff in Diamond Bar than in the other
contract cities due to its population. The number of
citations issued in Diamond Bar equal the total number
of citations issued in the other two contract cities,
combined. The enforcement index is the number of
hazardous citation issued relative to the number of
injury collisions. An acceptable index is in the area
of 20:1 to 30:1. Diamond Bar is usually in the area of
a 50:1 and above index. This is a very commendable
enforcement index and indicates a great deal of
enforcement and achieving the desired results of
keeping injury traffic collision to a minimum.
Sgt. Rawlings indicated that Diamond Bar is usually in
the top five of the 40 plus contract cities in the
County.
C/Ortiz stated he visited the John O. Tynes Elementary
School, 735 Stanford Drive, Placentia, CA 92670, which
has a near perfect record of student delivery. He
further stated that Principal Beth Berndt agreed to
have the City of Diamond Bar visit her school to
monitor their school drop off and pick up procedures.
Craig Clute requested the Sheriff's Department provide
January 11, 1996 Page 15 T&T COMMISSION
an enforcement report at each Traffic and
Transportation Commission meeting.
DDPW/Liu stated the information is posted in a local
newspaper and is provided to the City of Diamond Bar on
a regular basis.
Sgt. Rawlings offered to provide a summary report as an
agenda item.
Sgt. Rawlings responded to Mr. Clute that although
school districts have enforcement authority, they are
generally reluctant to become involved in the
administration of the citation program and do not
supply their officers with citations.

MATTERS FROM THE AUDIENCE
None
OLD BUSINESS
1. Petitions Requesting Change of Tennis Class Schedule at Maple Hill Park -
CSD/Rose reported that this item was previously heard at the December 28,
1995 Commission meeting. He indicated that the petitions were received with
respect to tennis classes scheduled by the City of Diamond Bar in the morning
hours at Maple Hill Park. He further indicated that the casual tennis court users
requested that two of the three tennis courts be left open for public use from
9:00 a.m. - 12:00noon. CSD/Rose advised that the tennis courts have been
scheduled during the morning hour because of an increase in student
participation in tennis classes. CSD/Rose advised that staff's proposal is to limit
the use of courts to one of the three courts between 9:00a.m. and 11:00a.m.
at Maple Hill Park, 7 days per week. He also advised that new signage has
been ordered indicating the times and days that the courts will be reserved for
tennis classes.
CH/Ruzicka indicated that there is a problem with so many residents wanting
to use this public facility and he advised that we all need to share this public
JANUARY 11, 1996 Page 2
facility.
Parks & Recreation Commission
Justin Lin advised that he is a very serious tennis player and asked why the
posted sign indicates one reserved time when the tennis classes are held at
another time.
Robert J. Wood requested that all of the tennis courts be open to the public in
the morning hours due to the fact that a lot of the tennis playing residents work
in the afternoon and evenings.
Vikki Ramos indicated that she waits hours to get onto a tennis court. She
requested that the City build more tennis courts in existing parks and asked that
the Maple Hill Park tennis courts remain open in the morning hours for the
residents' use.
Dr. Bill Baker, III advised that both he and his wife play tennis regularly at the
Maple Hill Park tennis courts. He advised that there is a family -like atmosphere
among the Maple Hill Park tennis players. He further advised that most of the
regular tennis players do work in the afternoon or evenings and the morning
time is the only time they have available to play. He requested that these
courts be left open during the morning hours and that lessons be moved to
Ronald Reagan Park where there is less activity in the morning.
Charlson Lien commented on the now incorrect wording on the tennis court
signs and requested that the City change these signs as soon as possible so that
the players can schedule their use of the courts around the class schedule.
Dan Sarmiento commented that he was very happy to see the City and the
Parks & Recreation Commission taking this issue seriously and that he is
interested in seeing this problem resolved. He also concurs with Dr. Baker's
comments.
Leo Lopez asked if a poll was ever taken to indicate how many of the students
who are taking tennis lessons during the morning hours are stay-at-home
parents. He commented that it is not fair that the tennis instructor picks a day
for a make-up class and the residents are not notified of this time. He
requested that the City post any special make-up classes in order to notify the
residents.
Pablo Cruz commented that the tennis instructor has not been willing to work
with the residents in the past and that the residents have had several bad
experiences with this instructor.
Abraham Perez commented that he has been a resident in Diamond Bar for 10
years and that the use of Maple Hill Park tennis courts has grown into a family
JANUARY 11, 1996
Page 3 Parks & Recreation Commission
type environment for tennis players. He further commented that at any given
time a person could come alone to the courts and be asked to join another
game. He stated that the tennis instructor and the City are treating this facility
like it's their own private court and that sometimes there is only one player
with the instructor. This situation could be considered a private lesson. He
also advised that the Ronald Reagan Park tennis courts are rarely used in the
morning and he requested that the lessons be moved to those courts.
John Wang expressed his appreciation that the City is willing to listen to the
residents' concerns with this problem. He indicated that he is also concerned
that the signs say one reserved time and the classes are happening at another
time.
Judy Wang indicated that she has been a resident in Diamond Bar since 1986
and that she has always played at the Maple Hill Park tennis courts. She also
indicated that this is a tight group of friends and they play here all of the time.
She stated that she is concerned that the classes are interfering with this group's
use of the courts and she requested that the classes be moved to other available
locations.
Wayne Munekiyo thanked the Commission for taking the time to discuss this
matter. He also indicated that he has been a resident for 20 years and lives
near Paul C. Grow Park. He further indicated that he tried to get the County
to build tennis courts at Paul C. Grow Park when it was constructed. However,
it was not done and therefore, he now has to play at Maple Hill Park. He also
requested that the City keep the Maple Hill Park courts open during the
morning hours for residents' use and move the classes to the tennis courts at
Ronald Reagan Park.
Beverly Spiers indicated that she is a student of Patrick Pastor and since taking
her lessons at Maple Hill Park she has observed that this group monopolizes
the use of the courts. She commented that she, as a tax payer, has contributed
to the construction and maintenance of these tennis courts and. that she has also
paid a fee for tennis lessons. Therefore she is entitled to morning lessons,
which is not only convenient, but necessary for her. She stated that morning
lessons are the only ones that she is available to participate in and she was very
happy to see that the City accommodated her needs, and other students needs,
as well, by providing lessons during the morning.
Charlotte Walker advised that she is also enrolled in the morning class with
Patrick Pastor. She commented that she is also a tax payer and that she has as
much right to be on those tennis courts as other residents. She further
commented that some angry residents are taking up her class time by not
leaving the courts when classes are scheduled to begin. She requested that the
City please change the signage to indicate the correct class times. Ms. Walker
JANUARY 11, 1996 Page 4 Parks & Recreation Commission
commented that she is against having only one out of the three tennis courts
available for tennis classes.
Jim Castillo, Chino Hills, requested that another tennis court be built at Maple
Hill Park.
In response to Mr. Castillo's comments, CH/Ruzicka indicated that adding
another tennis court is not the solution. He commented that the residents and
the City need to work together to assure that everyone can share the use of the
tennis courts equally.
C/Tye commented that the signs currently posted are not unreasonable and that
the City can schedule classes at any time that benefits the Community. The
current signs do not limit the class scheduling. He advised that the new signs
will indicate the new reserved times.
Patrick Pastor, Tennis Instructor, indicated that there have been many times that
he has arrived at the Maple Hill Park tennis courts when all of the courts are
filled with players. He indicated that he will let that party know that he is there
for a tennis class and give them the courtesy of waiting until the point or game
is completed. He advised that there have been many arguments when he asks
for the tennis court on which to conduct classes. He further stated that the
argument usually interferes with the class starting on time.
C/Tye commented that it seems that the residents who want to use the tennis
courts are a close group of friends who do not want to be inconvenienced by
the morning tennis classes.
C/Finnerty commented that she believes there is an ownership problem over
the use of the tennis courts. The tennis class schedule has been expanded and
the residents who wish to use the courts find it an inconvenience to have the
classes there. There may be a need for additional courts but it will take more
time and money for them to be completed.
C/Finnerty also stated that she was offended by the assumption that women
who stay at home with their children are not working. Parents who stay at
home with their children are definitely working. If a parent can only go out
and do something, like take tennis lessons, in the morning while their children
are in school, then this is their free time. This free time is just as important for
the parent who stays home with their children as is the free time of a person
who receives a stipend from an outside source for their work.
C/Finnerty also stated that there needs to be more respect shown from both
sides. Things have been said by individuals from both sides that shouldn't have
been said. It's time to get over that. It's time for both sides to be reasonable.
JANUARY 11, 1996 Page 5 Parks & Recreation Commission
GMedina commented that the current use of the Maple Hill Park tennis courts
has created a country club -like atmosphere. He further commented that the
City is trying to maintain a good atmosphere for the tennis lessons, without
intimidation, as well as a good atmosphere for the residents. He asked staff to
check with Diamond Bar High School to see if there was any way that the
lessons could be moved to that facility.
CSD/Rose indicated that Diamond Bar High School has already been
considered as an option and that the Walnut Valley Unified School District has
another commitment for the use of the high school tennis courts that precludes
that City's use.
Wayne Munekiyo commented that the sign currently posted at Maple Hill Park
is the main problem. There wouldn't be a problem if the residents knew
exactly when the courts were reserved for lessons.
CSD/Rose advised that the current posted signs were put up in 1991 when the
City only had 17 tennis classes. Now that the City is up to 49 tennis classes,
new signs have been ordered indicating new reserved times for the tennis
classes and which courts are be reserved. He further advised that staff
considered purchasing new signs each time a new class session started.
However, with the cost of the signs at approximately $800.00 per session, it
could get expensive for the City to change signs each session. Staff has decided
to order signs that indicate the intent of reserving tennis courts for classes, with
a blank area that will be filled in each class session indicating the days, times,
and courts reserved for that session.
C/Finnerty asked staff if this sign will have space on it to provide information
on make-up classes. She also asked how far in advance does the instructor
know the make-up class date and if there is lag time between sessions where
make-up classes can be conducted on the regularly reserved days so that other
days of the week are not interfered with.
CSD/Rose indicated that the signs are flexible and that make-up class
information can be posted on the signs.
Patrick Pastor, Tennis Instructor indicated that the make-up class is normally
held within a week of the missed class.
C/Finnerty asked if a three days notice of the make-up date and time is
reasonable.
Patrick Pastor advised that three days notice would not be unreasonable.
JANUARY 11, 1996 Page 6 Parks & Recreation Commission
CH/Ruzicka reviewed the current tennis classes schedule as: Wednesday,
Saturday, Sunday, 1 court reserved between 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Jan Stwertnik, City of Brea, advised that the current session of Sunday classes
has been completed. She further advised that the Winter Session will begin
January 28 and continue until March 3 and that the Spring Session will begin
March 17 and continue until April 28.
C/Medina commented that the playing times included in the tennis courts rules
are not adequate. He requested that singles be increased to one hour instead
of 1/2 hour and doubles be increased to 1-1/2 hours.
CSD/Rose reported that new signs are also being made to publicize the tennis
court rules and time limits as approved at the November, 1995 Commission
meeting. He further advised that one of the rules prohibits the holding of any
tennis courts by a single person.
Dr. Baker indicated that during his time spent at the tennis courts, singles have
always given up their court in favor of doubles play.
C/Tye asked staff if the maintenance hours will remain on Wednesday
mornings.
CSD/Rose advised that he will verify if maintenance is still done on
Wednesdays and/or if they have found a more appropriate time to clean the
courts.
Members of the audience responded that they have not seen a maintenance
company clean the courts on Wednesday mornings.
C/Tye responded that maintenance work would not normally be performed
during prime playing time.
A question was asked by a member of the audience whether there is any way
to control the tennis balls that are hit by the students taking lessons onto the
other tennis courts.
Patrick Paster advised that it is difficult to control the tennis balls coming from
the students taking lessons.
For safety and courtesy purposes, it was determined that the instructor will
announce when tennis balls are hit by students onto the other courts.
A member of the audience asked if make-up tennis classes could be completed
between normally scheduled class sessions.
JANUARY 11, 1996 Page 7 Parks & Recreation Commission
CSD/Rose advised that all make-up tennis classes are made up during the time
between sessions on the same days and at the same times as the regularly
scheduled tennis classes.
Beverly Spearce advised that there has only been one cancelled class due to the
weather. She commented that the other make up classes were due to players
not giving up a court for the scheduled class.
Dr. Baker requested that when the City is setting up the lesson days and times
that they keep it consistent each session so that the residents can plan their
game days and times.
CSD/Rose reported that during the Winter class schedule, tennis classes will
be held three mornings per week at Ronald Reagan Park and three mornings
per week at Maple Hill Park. He advised that the demand from the community
is what determines the days and times that the classes are scheduled. He again
advised that the Walnut Valley Unified School District will not allow the City
of Diamond Bar to reserve their tennis courts due to their own use schedule.
CSD/Rose further advised that Pantera Park is scheduled to have two tennis
courts constructed and they should be completed within the year.
C/Tye stated that it is easier for a resident to walk on and use a school court
than it is for the City to get approved use of the same court.
Charlotte Walker asked if the tennis courts will be numbered prior to the
Winter Session of classes.
CSD/Rose advised that court #1 is the primary court that will be used for the
tennis classes and that the courts have already been numbered accordingly.
Dr. Baker thanked the Commissioners again for taking time out of their busy
schedule to handle this problem and advised the Commissioners that no single
individual represents this tennis playing group as a whole.
C/Tye moved, seconded by C/Finnerty to maintain the current tennis class
morning schedule as being 3 days per week for a total of 7 hours and 15
minutes per week at Maple Hill Park. By unanimous vote, the motion carried
4-0.
CSD/Rose asked the Commission if they would consider an amendment to their
motion to restrict the City's ability to increase the use of the courts for lessons,
should demand for classes increase further.
By consensus of the Commission, the motion will remain without the
amendment suggested by CSD/Rose.
JANUARY 11, 1996 Page 8 Parks & Recreation Commission
C/Medina asked staff to remove the old signs as soon as possible.
Jan Stwertnik, City of Brea asked the Commission if the afternoon reserved
times still remain in effect.
CSD/Rose indicated that the motion only effects the morning lesson times and
not the afternoon lesson times.
C/Tye stated that his motion is only for the morning lesson times and will not
affect the afternoon lesson times.
CSD/Rose indicated that the new signs will be posted as soon as possible.

Said letters generally state:
My office is conducting a fact-finding investigation
regarding your firm's alleged contribution of $750 to a
local, Political Action Committee (PAC).
Recently, the Diamond Bar Caucus,- a PAC, managed and
administered in various capacities by Mr. Nick Anis, Gary
Neely, Joseph McManus and others, received over $75,000
primarily from corporations in the computer industry.
This caucus opposed and defeated candidates for City
Council calling for improved fiscal management in the
recent November 7th election.
We need to know immediately if your firm did in fact
contribute $750 to the Diamond Bar Caucus. We will be
forwarding our findings to the California Fair Political
Practices Commission, and Attorney General's Office for
investigation.
Please call me if you have questions or comments in
drafting your response.
Sincerely,
Clair Harmony

Said letters falsely state or imply (1) that an official City
investigation was being conducted; (2) that the Claimants were
managers and administrators of the Diamond Bar Caucus, a PAC; (3)
that said PAC, or the Claimants themselves, received over $75,000
primarily from corporations in the computer industry; and (4) that
the caucus opposed and defeated candidates for City Council calling
for improved fiscal management in the recent November 7th election.
Said letters falsely imply that the Claimants engaged in
financial improprieties.
The Claimants are also informed and believe that on or about
November 1995, and on other occasions, Harmony made written and
oral statements against the Claimants as follows: (1) that the
Claimants run the Diamond Bar Caucus; (2) that the Diamond Bar
Caucus is a pro-business, anti -people organization which raised in
LAW OFFICES OF
STEVEN C. SMITH

excess of $70,000 from business interests in an attempt to buy an
election; (3) that the Claimants have misled companies, mainly
computer and software firms, into contributing to their cause; (4)
the Claimants take fat fees from their political lobbying group;
and (5) the Claimants' lies should not be believed.
None of the Claimants is a member, officer, manager or
director of the Diamond Bar Caucus. None of the Claimants received
any funds from any individual for any political activities. The
Claimants have not misled anyone into contributing to any cause.
The monies that were received acre in exchange for good for
services in a computer exposition. This information was known by
Mr. Harmony and/or the City at the time Mr. Harmony made the
statements stated herein. The Claimants did not take "fat" fees or
any other fees from any political lobbying group for any political
activity. The Claimants have not told any lies as stated by
Harmony.
The said letters and statements have damaged the reputations
of the Claimants in their personal and business reputations in that
the recipients of the letters were essential business clients of
the Claimants. The acts and omissions of Harmony and the City have
adversely affected the income of each of the Claimants.
The damages incurred by the Claimants were a direct and
proximate result of the actions and omissions of Harmony and the
City. The Claimants have causes of action against Harmony and the
City for libel, slander, slander per se, business disparagement,
interference with prospective economic advantage, negligence and
negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
As a result of said acts and omissions, the Claimants have
incurred actual damages in the approximate sum of $75,000, special
damages in the approximate sum of•$250,000, and future damages in
the sum of $1,000,000.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 96 -XX approving the installation of "Do Not

at Crooked Creek Drive and at Cherrydale Drive
ISSUE STATEMENT:
Install "Do Not Block Intersection" signs on southbound Diamond Bar Boulevard
at Crooked Creek Drive and at Cherrydale Drive.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 96 -XX approving the installation
of "Do Not Block Intersection" signs on southbound Diamond Bar Boulevard at
Crooked Creek Drive and at Cherrydale Drive.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
The installation of two (2) "Do Not Block Intersection" signs on southbound
Diamond Bar Boulevard at Crooked Creek Drive and Cherrydale Drive will cost
approximately $300.00 and will be funded by the traffic and signing account.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The Traffic and Transportation Commission considered the installation of "Do
Not Block Intersection" signs on southbound Diamond Bar Boulevard at Crooked
Creek Drive and at Cherrydale Drive on February 8, 1996.
"Do Not Block Intersection" signs are installed on streets where as a result
of traffic volume and peak, hour congestion the intersections experience
blockage. Southbound Diamond Bar Boulevard at Crooked Creek Drive and
Cherrydale Drive are near the intersection of Diamond Bar Boulevard and Brea
Canyon Road. Brea Canyon Road which serves as an On and Off ramp for north
and south SR 57, makes it at Diamond Bar Boulevard a major intersection for
Diamond Bar residents as well as those who utilize Diamond Bar Boulevard and
SR 57.
In order to discourage the blockage of Diamond Bar Boulevard at Crooked Creek
Drive and at Cherrydale Drive, the Traffic and Transportation Commission
recommend to the City Council the installation of "Do Not Block Intersection"
signs on southbound Diamond Bar Boulevard at Crooked Creek Drive and
Cherrydale Drive.

T&T Commission
Deputy Steel responded to C/Ortiz that the two
traffic deputies assigned for three Sunday morning
services, one Sunday evening service and one
Wednesday evening service provide -adequate
coverage. The problem is moving the traffic off
of the street in a timely manner. The Operations
Deputy coordinates only the number of deputies and
the hours of service with the church. He
indicated there is a safety concern for the
deputies when the signals are flashing at night.
The street lights tend to fade out putting the
deputies at risk. Therefore, he recommends a
manual traffic control to eliminate the risk to
the deputies who must stand at an intersection
with double left turn lanes for both northbound
and southbound traffic.
SE/Liu responded to C/Virginkar that the first
step is to approach Calvary Chapel with the
Sheriff's Department's recommendations and give
Calvary Chapel time to respond. This item would

expenses, judgments, penalties, liens, and losses of any nature whatsoever, including fees of

Subject: Proposal for Providing Environmental Consulting Services for Projects
Referenced in City of Diamond Bar Request for Proposals Dated January
31, 1996
Dear Mr. DeStefano:
Providing environmental consulting services for the diverse array of projects referenced in
the City's Request for Proposals (RFP) requires more than technical competence.
Commitment to superior client and agency communication, detailed knowledge of
conditions throughout the City as well as the individual project areas, and a willingness to
serve as an extension of City staff are critical elements of successful environmental
consulting.
Michael Brandman Associates (MBA) has previously demonstrated its commitment to
superior client service and legally adequate environmental documentation for several
projects in the City of Diamond Bar over the past 5 years --in fact, 2 of the 4 land
development projects referenced in the RFP were directly addressed in previous
environmental documents prepared by MBA for the City, and a third project (VTM 50314)
is immediately adjacent to two projects for which MBA was the environmental consultant.
This recent experience provides MBA with knowledge that will facilitate the preparation of
the environmental documents required by the City.
We have reviewed the information provided in the RFP, resource documents available in the
MBA library for the project areas, and visited the identified project sites. In addition, our
knowledge of the City's environs is further supported by three City of Diamond Bar
residents who are key members of the MBA staff assigned to provide the requested
services to the City: Tom Smith, Steve Nelson, and Ruben Ramirez. We believe our
commitment to the City of Diamond Bar and our knowledge of the concerns of City staff
and the community is without equal in the consulting community. The accompanying
proposals incorporate our detailed knowledge of the City and the areas in which these
projects are located.
Mr. Thomas E. Smith, Jr., AICP, a Diamond Bar resident since 1980, will serve as the
principal manager for the EIR. Mr. Michael E. Houlihan, AICP, will serve as the project
manager, responsible for managing the environmental consulting services and the day to

day activities of the MBA project team. The MBA principal biologist will be Mr. Steven G.
Nelson, a Diamond Bar resident since 1977, and a past member of the City's SEA Technical
Advisory Committee. These individuals will operate as a project management team to
insure that decisions related to schedule, work activities, and budget are quickly addressed.
Other MBA staff and consultants will participate in the requested work; resumes for all
members of the MBA project team are included in the accompanying materials.

RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
The MBA project team has extensive experience in environmental monitoring projects. The
projects listed below are some of the team's relevant experience.
Diamond Bar Environmental Consulting Services, Los Angeles County
Client: City of Diamond Bar
The following projects were performed by MBA for the City of Diamond Bar over a 4 -year
period:
Vestina Tentative Maos 47850 47851, and 48487 Environmental
Documentation Review Responses to Comments and Mitigation Monitoring.
MBA was retained by the City of Diamond Bar to assist staff in evaluating a
draft Master EIR prepared by the applicant's consultant for three project sites
covering 160 acres in "The Country" private community. Documents were
reviewed and recommendations offered to the City to increase the accuracy and
legal adequacy of the environmental analyses. MBA developed responses to
comments received on the draft Master EIR, prepared mitigation monitoring plans
and EIR findings, and provided consultation to City staff during EIR processing.
Tentative Tract 47850.4785 1and 48487 Reveaetation Consultation Services.
The proposed.residential development of these sites would result in the removal
of sensitive walnut and oak woodland habitats. MBA provided technical
review/critique of the applicants' revegetation plans, construction monitoring,
and maintenance and monitoring program designs to ensure feasibility and
regulatory compliance.
Tract 47851 Mitigation Monitoring. MBA reviewed walnut, oak, and riparian
revegetation plans prepared for Tract 47851 to confirm compliance with the May
1992 Mitigation Monitoring Program (included in 1992 EIR) and the California
Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) streambed alteration agreement. MBA
confirmed that appropriate planting densities, species, and acreages were used
and that the overall plan facilitated the establishment of natural, functioning
habitats. MBA also performed construction monitoring during clearing and
grading activities to facilitate compliance with natural resource protection
measures listed in the May 1992 Mitigation Monitoring Program and the CDFG
streambed alteration agreement.
Protection measures that were used included the use of plastic orange snow
fencing to protect all native vegetation within and adjacent to the site, the use
of appropriate erosion control devices during grading operations, and the
salvaging and re -use of cleared riparian vegetation within riparian revegetation
areas. MBA coordinated with the developer and the contractor to ensure that
all mitigation measures were complied with.
Vestina Tract Map 51169 EIR. MBA prepared an EIR which evaluated the
potential impacts of a custom lot hillside subdivision adjacent to Tonner Canyon
PRIO903PO20 18 Relevant Experience
in the City of Diamond Bar. Issues addressed included grading and slope
stability, loss of walnut woodlands, and stormwater runoff to Tonner Canyon.
Vestina Tentative Me[) 47850 EIR. MBA prepared a focused EIR which
evaluated the potential geology, air quality, and biological resources impacts for
-a revised site plan for a 57 -custom lot single family development on
approximately 73 acres. The site plan was revised to reflect supplemental
recommendations to stabilize onsite landslides and the potential for "creep
effects." The revisions to the site plan resulted in the potential for additional
loss of sensitive walnut and oak woodland habitats and potential additional
construction air emissions.
Foothill Transportation Corridor North Coastal Sage Scrub Revegetation, Orange County
Contact: Transportation Corridor Agencies
A coastal sage scrub mitigation program was developed as compensation for impacts on
existing coastal sage scrub habitat resulting from freeway and bridge construction at the
Foothill Transportation Corridor -North site in Orange County, California. The mitigation
program included habitat creation and restoration on a total of 5.8 acres of corridor side -
slopes and right-of-way parcels. A habitat mitigation program was developed that included
container planting and seeding guidelines, supplemental irrigation guidelines, long-term
maintenance guidelines, and long-term growth performance monitoring guidelines. Plant
species' composition and densities were based on detailed surveys of existing coastal sage
scrub habitat known to be used by the California gnatcatcher. The mitigation program was
implemented in two phases, one in spring 1994 and one in spring 1995. Mitigation
implementation monitoring included monitoring site preparation (weed removal and surface
ripping), the respreading of salvaged coastal sage scrub vegetation and topsoils materials,
the broadcasting of the specified seed mix, and the planting of the specified container
species. The 5 -year contract for site performance monitoring includes regular site
inspections to evaluate plant growth performance, identify problem non-native weeds, and
identify plant health and pest problems. Coordination on a regular basis with the
maintenance contractor determines appropriate remedial measures that will facilitate the
successful establishment of the plant species; remedial measures include replanting,
reseeding, weed removal, supplemental water application, and trash removal. Line
intercept and belt transects are used once a year to more precisely measure species'
coverage, species' densities, and species' composition, and to evaluate compliance with
specified performance goals. Performance goals include the achievement of species'
compositions, densities, and coverages similar to those measured in existing habitat and/or
the use of the mitigation site by California gnatcatchers. A performance monitoring status
report is submitted once a year to USFWS. This report summarizes site conditions, plant
health, and growth performance based on regular qualitative evaluations as well as the
annual quantitative assessment of species' growth performance; included are remedial
measures necessary to ensure compliance with performance goals and the successful
establishment of coastal sage scrub habitat. Planted, seeded, and salvaged coastal sage
scrub species currently cover 39 to 70 percent of the Phase I portion of the mitigation areas
and exceed the required first-year performance standard of 35 percent. Existing coastal
sage scrub dominant species' densities are similar to densities measured for the same
species within Phase I of the mitigation areas.

La Verne Heights Mitigation Monitoring, Los Angeles County
Client: Lewis Homes Management Corporation
A mitigation program was developed as compensation for impacts on CDFG jurisdiction
resulting from the construction of the 70 -acre residential development in La Verne,
California. The mitigation program included a total of 1.8 acres of riparian woodland
revegetation implemented within the Marshall Canyon Creek riparian corridor in spring
1994. An initial conceptual mitigation program was developed that included container
planting and seeding guidelines, site preparation guidelines, supplemental irrigation
guidelines, long-term maintenance guidelines, and long-term site performance monitoring
guidelines. implementation -level planting plan and specifications were also developed,
consisting of (1) a detailed planting layout that included the location of container and
seeded plant materials, and (2) planting specifications that included site preparation, site
and water quality protection, seeding and container planting methodologies, final approval
and guarantee requirements, and maintenance period requirements. Coordination_ and input
to the project engineer and landscape architect were provided during the development of
site grading and irrigation plans. Revegetation implementation tasks such as non-native
invasive species' removal, minor site grading, irrigation system installation, seed
applications, and planting were monitored. The 5 -year contract for performance monitoring
includes regular site inspections to evaluate native species' growth performance, identify
plant health and pest problems, identify problem weedy species, and identify appropriate
irrigation schedule adjustments and repairs. Coordination on a regular basis with the
maintenance contractor determines appropriate remedial measuressuch as replanting, weed
species' removal, and irrigation system adjustment and repair in an effort to facilitate the
successful establishment of appropriate native species. Line intercept transects and
established photodocumentation stations are used once a year to,more precisely measure
species' coverage and tree growth and to evaluate compliance with required performance
standards. Performance standards include the achievement of specified coverage and tree
heights for years 2 through 5 and 95 -percent survival of all tree species.
A performance monitoring status report is submitted once a year to CDFG and USACE.
This report summarizes site conditions, plant health, and growth performance based on
regular qualitative evaluations as well as the annual quantitative assessment of species'
growth performance; included are remedial measures necessary to ensure compliance with
performance goals and the successful establishment of coastal sage scrub habitat. Planted
and seeded riparian species currently cover 73.8 percent of the revegetation areas and
exceed the required second- and third -year performance standards of 60 and 70 percent.
Sycamore, cottonwood, and willow trees come close to meeting or exceed third -year height
requirements.
Santiago Basins Revegetation Monitoring, Orange County
Client: Orange County Water District
An onsite mitigation program was developed as compensation for impacts on wetland
habitats associated with gravel mining operations within Orange County Water District -
owned retention basins. The mitigation program included a total of 14 acres.of riparian
habitat planted within the retention basin area in spring 1992. The revegetation program
consisted of riparian species such as California sycamore, Fremont's cottonwood, willow
species, wild rose, blackberry, mulefat, and Mexican elderberry. Revegetation

protection, seeding and container planting methodologies, final approval and guarantee
requirements, and maintenance period requirements. Irrigation plans consisted of
(1) system components layout and details and (2) specifications for site conditions,
equipment requirements, installation procedures, final approval requirements, and
maintenance criteria. Coordination and input to the project engineer were provided during
the development of site grading plans. Revegetation implementation tasks such as non-
native invasive species' removal, minor site grading, irrigation system installation, seed
applications, and planting were monitored. The 5 -year contract for performance monitoring
includes regular site inspections to evaluate native species' growth performance, identify
plant health and pest problems, identify problem weedy species, and identify appropriate
irrigation schedule adjustments and repairs. Coordination on a regular basis with the,
maintenance contractor determines appropriate remedial measures such as replanting, weed
species' removal, and irrigation system adjustment and repair in an effort to facilitate the
successful establishment of appropriate native species. Belt transects randomly tagged
trees, and established photodocumentation stations are used once a year to more precisely
measure species' coverage and tree growth and to evaluate compliance with required
performance standards. Performance standards include the achievement of specified
coverage and tree heights for years 2 through 5 and 95 -percent survival of all tree species.
A performance monitoring status report is submitted once a year to CDFG and USACE.
This report summarizes site conditions, plant health, and growth performance based on
regular qualitative evaluations as well as the annual quantitative assessment of species'
growth performance; included are remedial measures necessary to ensure compliance with
performance goals and the successful establishment of riparian scrub habitat.
Monitoring included regular site inspections to measure -native species' growth
performance, determine native species' health, identify problem weedy species, and
determine irrigation system repair and adjustment requirements. Belt transects are used on
an annual basis to determine tree height, native species' coverage, and non-native weedy
species' coverage. Regular coordination with the maintenance contractor determines
appropriate replanting measures, weed removal measures, and irrigation system
adjustments. Recommended weed removal methods include hand removal, mechanical
(weed whip), and herbicide application to effectively control weed species such as
nightshade (Solanum spp.), clover (Melilotus spp.), mustard (Brassica spp.), artichoke
thistle (Cynare cardunculus), bristly oxtongue (Pieris echioides), and tamarix (Tamarix
ramosissime). Because of consistent and effective weed control, the initial application of
supplemental water, and appropriate soil conditions, the planted native tree and understory
species currently meet or exceed the required growth performance standards and are
successfully outcompeting non-native weed species that occur within the site. Planted and
seeded riparian species currently cover 70 to 80 percent of most of the revegetation areas

and are anticipated to exceed the required third -year performance standards of 70 percent.
Sycamore, cottonwood, and willow trees exceed third -year height requirements.
Bonelli Regional Park Master Plan EIR, Los Angeles County
Client: County of Los Angeles Parks Department
The 1,994 -acre Bonelli Regional Park is a major recreational and open space resource to the
communities that surround it in the eastern and of Los Angeles County. The park presently
contains a wide range of facilities and provides an equally wide range of recreational
opportunities. Facilities at the park include commercial recreational facilities, with the most
notable being Raging Waters, a public golf course, camping for recreation vehicles, and
daytime picnic and use areas. Puddingstone Reservoir also provides access to the water -
related recreational activities at the east end of the county. While providing this multitude
of recreational activities, Bonelli Park is also one of the largest open space areas in the east
end of the county. The park contains more than 1,000 acres of natural open space
consisting of grassland, scrub, riparian, and woodland habitats. Over the years, residents
of the surrounding communities have become increasingly concerned about the
intensification of uses at the park, particularly commercial -recreation uses. The primary
concerns are that open space will be lost and the offsite uses will be affected by the traffic,
noise, and visual impacts resulting from new facilities at the park.
In response to litigation, the county has agreed to prepare a new Master Plan for the park.
This plan will be developed with extensive involvement from the surrounding community
through a 59 -member Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC). The objective of the Master
Plan is to develop and provide for the maintenance of appropriate recreational facilities,
while protecting and restoring the natural resources of the park. MBA's responsibilities
include participating with the CAC and preparing environmental documentation.
Phase I Significant Ecological Area (SEA) Study, Los Angeles County
Client: County of Los Angeles
A Phase I SEA study was prepared for the County of Los Angeles, Department of Regional
Planning. The Los Angeles County General Plan, which includes policies and mapping for
special management areas (including SEAM, was adopted in November 1980; it identified
61 SEAs throughout the county. Much of the information used to identify SERs for that
General Plan was obtained in the mid-1970s.' The intent of the Phase I SEA study prepared
by MBA was to update information on baseline biological resources and recommend
boundary adjustments and programs to sustain the ecological values of the SEAs.
The Phase I SEA study consisted of review and analyses of seven "threatened" SERs. The
study included a compilation of all existing public- and private -sector data, reconnaissance
field work, "directed" field surveys, and analytical review and recommendations concerning
the health of (and development threats to) the following SEAS: Kentucky Springs (SEA
No. 61); San Francisquito Canyon (SEA No. 19); Tonner Canyon/Chino Hills (SEA No. 15);
Cold Creek (SEA No. 9); Las Virgenes (SEA No. 6); Tuna Canyon (SEA No. 10); and
Dudleya densiflora (SEA No. 45). Separate reports were prepared for each SEA to map
remaining habitats, compile species lists, examine private land ownership near the SEAs,
and recommend methodologies for future surveys of other SEAs in Phase II of the program.
PR/0903P020 22 Relevant Experience
The study also refined the SEAs' boundaries and potential constraints to any further
development of the seven subject areas.

SUMMARY: Recently, the City Council approved Ordinance 02 (1996) which revised the
requirements and standards relating to the collection, recycling, transportation, and
disposal of solid waste, recyclable and compostable materials within the City. In revising
the City's enabling Ordinance, staff has determined that Resolution 90-95 establishing a
separate permit system for the collection and disposal of solid waste, recyclable and
compostable materials is redundant and no longer necessary.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
AGENDA NO.
MEETING DATE: March 5, 1996
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Terrence L. Belanger, City Manager
SUBJECT: Recision of Resolution 90-95 as amended.
ISSUE STATEMENT:
Should the City Council rescind Resolution 90-95 and create a more uniform and efficient standard for the collection and
disposal of refuse, recyclable and compostable materials from residential, commercial, and industrial areas within the
City?
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution 96 -XX, repealing Resolution 90-95 as amended.
BACKGROUND:
On November 13, 1990, the City Council adopted Resolution 90-95 establishing a permit system for the collection and
disposal of solid waste, recyclable, and compostable materials. This system, which is structured like a business licensing
system, requires any solid waste contractor wishing to providing 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.
Recently, the City Council approved Ordinance 02 (1996) which revised the requirements and standards relating to the
collection, recycling, transportation, and disposal of solid waste, recyclable and compostable materials within the City.
In revising the City's enabling Ordinance, staff has determined that Resolution 90-95 establishing a separate permit
system for the collection and disposal of solid waste, recyclable and compostable materials is redundant and no longer
necessary.
DISCUSSION:
Ordinance 02 (1996) incorporates the key elements of the existing permit system and will allow the City to more
effectively enforce its standards and requirements for the collection and disposal of solid waste and recyclable materials.
In addition, by integrating the permit system into the enabling Ordinance, the City can begin to streamline the permit
process by eliminating the redundancies that exists between the enabling Ordinance and Resolution 90-95 as amended.
In turn, this will help create a more uniform and efficient set of standards and requirements for the collection and disposal
of solid waste, recyclable and compostable materials within the City.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution 96 -XX repealing Resolution 90-95, as amended, in its
entirety.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND
BAR REPEALING RESOLUTION 90-95 AS AMENDED AND
HERETOFORE ADOPTED.
A. RECITALS
(i) The City Council has heretofore determined that the unregulated
collection and disposal of solid waste presents a higher risk and attendant liability to the
City and creates the potential for divergent reporting practices, inconsistent service
levels, and a lack of accountability amongst solid waste contractors; and
(ii) On November 13, 1990, the City Council adopted Resolution 90-95
establishing a permit system for the collection of refuse, recyclables, and compostable
materials from residential, commercial, construction and industrial areas within the City
of Diamond Bar; and
(iii) Resolution 90-95 has been amended from time to time thereafter; and
(iv) . On February 6, 1996, the City Council approved Ordinance 02 (1996)
repealing Ordinance 02 (1990) and Ordinance 02A (1990) in their entirety, and
revising Chapter 8.16 of 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; and
(v) The City Council now hereby finds and declares that a separate
Resolution establishing a permit system for the collection, transportation, recycling,
composting and disposal of solid waste, recyclables and compostables materials
generated within the City limits is redundant and no longer necessary.
(vi) All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
B. RESOLUTION
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
DOES RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
In all respects as set forth in the Recitals, Part A of this Resolution.
2. Resolution 90-95, as amended, is hereby repealed in its entirety.
3. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this Resolution.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Members of the City Council
FROM: Eileen Ansari, Mayor
RE: Town Hall Meeting: Debate on Measure D
DATE: March 5, 1996
Issue:
Should a town hall meeting to debate Measure D be conducted by a neutral third party,
such as the League of Women Voters?
Discussion:
With Measure D being such an important issue for the City of Diamond Bar, it would
appear to be equally important to have the measure debated by those in favor and by those
against the measure. The better way to assure the neutrality and objectivity of such a
debate would be to have the debate sponsored and moderated by an obviously neutral
third party.
The debate would be between two teams comprised of five persons each. One team
would argue in favor of the measure. The other team would argue against the measure.
Each team would have forty-five minutes to present their respective arguments. The
teams would draw lots to decide which team presents it's argument first. The moderator
will thereafter determine the order of subsequent debater's; and, keep individual, as well
as, aggregate team time. Teams will be penalized, if any member of a team interrupts a
member of the other team. There would be a one minute penalty assessed for each
interruption. Following the presentations of both teams arguments, audience members
may ask questions. The moderator will conduct the question and answer session. Each
team will be given two minutes to respond to each question.
The Debate on Measure D is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, March 16, 1996, from
9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. It will be conducted at the Heritage Park Community Center,
2900 Brea Canyon Road.
