Belanger, City Manager SUBJECT: Installation of a three-way stop sign at the intersection of Brea Canyon Road and Fountain Springs Road ISSUE STATEMENT: To install a three-way stop sign at the intersection of Brea Canyon Road and Fountain Springs Road. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 96 -XX entitled: "Resolution of the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar approving the installation of a three-way stop sign at the intersection of Brea Canyon Road and Fountain Springs Road. FINANCIAL SUMMARY: The proposed recommendation will cost the City approximately $500.00 and will be funded by Marking and Signing Maintenance account. /DISCUSSION: Proposed as part of Plan One of Part I of the Neighborhood Traffic Management Study, is the further warrant studies for the installation of stop signs at the intersections of Brea Canyon Road and Fountain Springs Road, and Evergreen Springs Drive and Sunbright Drive. Based on the result of the study conducted by DKS Associates, only the intersection of Brea Canyon Road and Fountain Springs Road was warranted for stop signs. The warrant study entailed a 24-hour traffic counts at both intersections and accident history for the past three years, while incorporating the requirements established in the State of California Department of Transportation's Traffic Manual. The result of the study showed one accident (in 1993) in the past three years and less than 500 (minimum threshold) vehicles travelling at the intersection of Evergreen Springs Drive and Sunbright Drive. Due to the low accident rate and low vehicular volume, this intersection was not warranted for a stop sign. The intersection of Brea Canyon Road and Fountain Springs Road was warranted for a three-way stop sign. There were three (3) recorded accidents in 1994 and one (1) in 1993. The total vehicular volume entering the intersection from all approaches had an average of 601 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of an average weekday. This is more than required minimum of 500 vehicles. In addition to the installation of a three-way stop sign at this intersection, appropriate advance warning signs will be installed on Brea Canyon Road. Prepared By: David G.

Liu Deputy Director of Public Works City of Diamond Bar 21660 E. Copley Drive, Ste 190 Diamond Bar, CA 91765-4177 Subject: Multi -way Stop Sign Warrant Analysis at Two Intersections in the Heritage Neighborhood Study Area P94198 Dear Mr. Liu: DKS Associates is pleased to submit this letter report documenting the traffic analysis for the intersections at: Brea Canyon Road / Fountain Springs Drive Evergreen Springs Drive / Sunbright Drive The purpose of this study is to determine if the any of the two study intersections meet multi -way stop -sign warrants under the guidelines of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) "Traffic Manual". This study was initiated by the Diamond Bar City Council Resolution, adopted January 9, 1996 as part of "Plan One -Part I" of the Neighborhood Traffic Study that was prepared for the City by DKS Associates. Traffic Analysis In order to establish multi -way stop sign warrants, 24 hour traffic counts were collected at the two study intersections on Thursday, January 18, 1996. The Los Angeles County Sheriff Department's traffic accident data was collected at the two locations to determine how many accidents have occurred over the last three years. These two items are needed to determine if the intersections meet the multi -way stop sign warrant. Multi-wav Stop Siqn Warrants - Generally, stop signs are an inconvenience to motorists. A stop sign should only be used where they are warranted. A warrant is the justification or grounds for the installation of a sign or other traffic control device. Warrants are essentially adopted by all agencies throughout the United States. The 1988 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, Federal Highway Administration and the Caltrans Traffic Mr. David G. Liu April 3, 1996 Page 2 Manual specifies that a stop sign may be warranted at an intersection where one or more of the following conditions exist: 1. Intersection of a less important road with a main road where application of the normal right-of-way rule is unduly hazardous. 2. Street entering a through highway or street. 3. Unsignalized intersection in a signalized area. 4. Other intersections where a combination of high speed, restricted view, and serious accident record indicates a need for control by the stop sign. The multi -way or four-way stop sign installation is useful as a safety measure at select locations. It should ordinarily be used only where the volume of traffic on the intersecting roads is approximately equal. The 1988 Manua/ on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and Ca/trans Traffic Manua/ both state that a multi -way stop installation may be warranted if any of the following conditions occur: 1. Where traffic signals are warranted and urgently needed, the multi -way stop may be an interim measure that can be installed quickly to control traffic while arrangements are being made for traffic signal installations. 2. An accident problem, as indicated by five or more reported accidents within a 12 month period of a type susceptible to correction by a multi -way stop installation. Such accidents include right and left -turn collisions as well as right-angle collisions. 3. Minimum traffic volumes: a) The total vehicular volume entering the intersection from all approaches must average at least 500 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of an average day, and b) The combined vehicular and pedestrian volume from the minor street or highway must average at least 200 units per Mr. David G. Liu April 3, 1996 Page 3 hour for the same 8 hours, with an average delay to minor street vehicular traffic of at least 30 seconds per vehicle during the maximum hour, but c) When the 85 percentile approach speed of the major street traffic exceeds 40 miles per hour, the minimum vehicular volume warrant is 70 percent of the above requirements. In addition, traffic engineering studies may justify a decision to install stop signs on the major street where safety considerations may justify stopping the greater flow of traffic to permit a left -turning movement or restricted sight distances. Findings Everqreen Springs Drive / Sunbright Drive The data collected at this location yielded the following results: There was (1) one recorded traffic accident in 1993 no recorded accidents in 1995 and 1994. 2. The total vehicular volume entering the intersection from all approaches has an average of 237 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of an average weekday. This is less than 500 minimum threshold. Brea Canvon Road / Fountain Springs Road 1. There were (3) three recorded traffic accidents in 1994 and (1) one in 1993. No accidents were recorded in 1995. 2. The total vehicular volume entering the intersection from all approaches has an average of 601 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of an average weekday. This is more than 500 minimum threshold. Conclusions & Recommendations The intersection at Brea Canyon Road at Fountain Springs Road meets the Multi -way Stop Sign warrant based upon the high amount of traffic entering this intersection. Mr. David G. Liu April 3, 1996 Page 4 Evergreen Springs/Sunbright Drive does not have sufficient traffic volumes nor a high accident rate meet the Multi -way Stop Sign warrant. Stop -signs and "stop -ahead" advance warning signs should be installed on Brea Canyon Road since it meets the Muti-way Stop Sign warrant.

Copley Drive, Suite 100 Diamond Bar, California 91765 Ms. Ansari: Thank you for your interest in our youth group, and for allowing us the opportunity to speak at the City Council meeting on April 16, 1996. Pacific Crest Drum and Bugle Corps — a group of performers aged 14 to 21 who share a love for performance, competition, and the arts — is partially sponsored by Pacific Edition Booster Club, a California non-profit corporation based in Diamond Bar, California. Performing for some 30,000 people from San Diego to Sacramento, the purpose of this group is to educate our students in three areas: (1) personal responsibility and teamwork, (2) interpretation, appreciation, and creation of the performing arts, (3) appreciation and development of physical fitness. From our humble beginning of 33 student members in 1993, we have grown to over 60 for our 1996 season. These young people come to us from surrounding communities in Orange and Los Angeles Counties; however, most of them live in or near the city of Diamond Bar. We currently spend most of our rehearsal time at Diamond Bar High School under the approval of Walnut Valley Unified School District. Our competitive performance season lasts from the middle of June to the end of July; consequently, we offer our youth an enriching and exciting experience during the summer months. Our schedule, however, leaves enough time for our members to attend summer school, work part-time, or participate in other Diamond Bar community groups. We look forward to presenting our group to the City Council as one of newest drum and bugle corps in the United States representing the city of Diamond Bar across California. I will call you within the week to confirm this presentation and answer any questionsyyou may have regarding it. Meantime, if you wish to contact me, you may call (714) t9 8230.

Dear Group/Organization 0 Drive By Agony was founded in 1991 to bring awareness about violent crimes and the effects they have on our families and society. Drive By Agony facilitates and addresses issues of gun violence among our youth. Thousands of young men and women --our sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces, cousins and friends --have been murdered before their fifteenth, and many before third second birthday. Over the past five years our local annual peace march has grown in size and interest. This growth encouraged us to seek help from our friends and associates such as you to encourage others throughout our nation to participate in these events. Drive By Agony's participants are churches, schools, boys and girls clubs, women's groups, victims groups, District attorney office, sheriff's Departments, Police Departments, and many more. In keeping with our goal in continuing to work toward alleviating the violent acts that are plaguing our communities, Drive By Agony will be actively involved ix► two important events which are scheduled for 199E. The first event is the National March For Peace which will take place April 20, 1996. Although Drive By Agony has conducted Peace marches for the. past five years, the sixth annual march in 1996 will be inclusive of cities throughout the nation in honoring victims of violent crimes. We are urging groups, friends, associates, and relatives to participate in this historic event by joining us in the City of Lynwood or on Olvera Street in Downtown Los Angeles. The Second event is the planning stages. Drive By Agony in conjunction with st Francis Medical Center of Lynwood are joining forces for there annual Nun Run in the City of Lynwood the event is held at the Lynwood Community Center, has leen sponsored by St Francis for the past eleven years, helps raise money for local nor -profit organizations and groups, and focuses on health issues as well an providing free medical examinations to the community. Cities throughout the nation are encouraged to get involved in the movement that will benefit not only their immediate community, but society in general. Acts of violent crimes bring fear and distress to all and not just those individuals that are directly affected by it. Therefore, it is imperative that people - P.O.Box 792 - Lynwood, California 90282 - Tek (310) 537-8018 from all social, economic and political backgrounds. join forces in the struggle to put to rest this problem that is affecting the health, safety and welfare of our youth, and is impeding many their ability to exCel and live on this earth. To help your city establish a program for the April 20, 1996 National March for peace, Drive By Agony is providing the following suggestions: 1. Recruit volunteers to help with planning activities _ 2. Seek support for event from city officials and citizens. 3. obtain necessary permits for closure of streets. (Check With City Hall regarding time needed to obtain permits.) 4. Prepare signs of goodwill and pictures of love ones to carry during the march. 5. Identify amenities such as water, restroons and identify clean up crew and security. 6. Schedule time for survivors to speak after the march. This should be in central location and be a tribute to the victims of any crime, abuse, drive by'*, crime against women and children. 7. obtain pamphlets of legislation and other information regarding violent crimes from legislators (elected officials) and other organizations. Keep in mind, that a partnership must exist between the march for peace and the community. We are all part of a partnership and, consequently, we must organize to maintain our national goal to the untimely vicious deaths that occur in our families every second. Toward this and, we will agree to advertise throughout the nation about your participation in the activities. Additionally, we are asking that all concern will inquire about the Pledge Forms Drive By Agony has available. The funds generated from pledges provide resources for our continued violence prevention work, peace march, and peace/crime prevention T.V. production that are provided free for youth in local schools. Please talk to your groups, associates, elected officials, and the community at large, and pledge to help Drive By Agony in continuing to serve the community wits: programs that will benefit everyone. si carely, WV: ! kc4a4 nr A �_� •• Awa T ---da rQY, ' r IMM, Ut UO Mate of California PA 9CCA2A91ON ...........

Beth House, Harmony Hill, expressed concern about the "no left turn" sign at Fountain Springs. She asked the Council to remove the sign. Craig Klute, Fountain Springs, asked why the persons complaining did not participate in the. neighborhood traffic workshops or respond to the questionnaires sent.

Terry Birrell spoke in favor of Measure D and reported that the State had rejected the City's General Plan. Red Calkins, 240 Eagle Nest Dr., stated that he attended the debate over Measure D and felt that his freedom of speech was violated because he was not allowed to speak.

CM/Belanger stated that tax assessment is a County process and suggested that Dr. Rhodes call the Tax Assessor's Office to obtain assistance with his property re- assessment. Regarding street trees in the area of Washington and Pathfinder and other areas of the City, he stated that staff is seeking proposals and would be requesting a budget adjustment to take care of those trees. With regard to the Warrant Register requested by Mr. Schad, he explained that until Council approves an invoice relating to litigation, the detail of the invoice is retained in a confidential manner until the Warrant is approved; thereafter, it is available to the general public. With regard to the "no left turn" sign at the Country Hills Towne Center and additional stop signs, he explained that the City Engineer has determined the necessity for stop signs and they will be installed within the next two weeks. He gave the locations of the new stop signs. DPWD/Liu stated that neighborhood workshops are currently being scheduled for sometime in May and June regarding the neighborhood traffic studies. MPT/Huff stated that he would like to see the issue regarding neighborhood traffic studies go back to the Traffic & Transportation Commission for further investigation prior to any public hearings. CM/Belanger stated that the Council could either request the Traffic & Transportation Commission to call a special meeting and meet as soon as possible regarding the matter or the Council could exercise its discretion to make a decision itself. PWD/Wentz explained that the "no left turn" sign had been in existence for approximately six weeks and suggested covering the sign for the next six weeks to determine the impact at upcoming workshops. 4.

Schmidt in an amount not to exceed $102,760 with a contingency of $15,000 for project change orders and an additional $5,000 to Charles Abbott for construction inspection purposes. There are two sources of funds for this project; 1) developer fees relating to the sidewalks between Shadow Canyon and Sugar Pine and 2) TDA funds (bicycle lane funds) for the balance of the sidewalks. C/Harmony indicated that the $15,000 contingency is approximately 15% of the project. He would like a policy developed to provide zero contingencies for these kinds of projects. CM/Belanger explained that, in public works projects, everything about the project is known at the time the bids are sent out for solicitation. The reality is that a variety of situations occur that would cause a difference in the contract amount. The contingency amount is to provide professional staff with the ability to make adjustments within the contingent amount in order to process and get these jobs completed in a timely fashion. CE/Wentz indicated that staff has not exceeded the contingency in any case. C/Herrera commented that it is a typical practice to have a contingency fund built into the budget.

He recommended that Council adopt a Resolution approving the Final Map, authorize the Mayor to execute the Subdivision Agreement, authorize the City Engineer to sign the Map and direct the City Clerk to certify and process the Map which would include recordation. MPT/Huff asked about Council's legal options on this project. CM/Belanger stated that the Vesting Tentative Map is a subdivision document that sets forth a variety of conditions that must be met before a final map can be issued. If all conditions are met, the owner of that land has the right to the final map. MPT/Huff asked if this VTM is considered in the significant ecological area and in the slope of Tonner Canyon. He also asked that if Measure "D" passes, would this VTM be consistent with the new General Plan. CM/Belanger advised that this VTM is in the ecological area and is on the slope of Tonner Canyon. Both General Plans show this area as residential. CDD/DeStefano clarified that if this project were to be submitted for Council consideration the day after the initiative were to pass, then it would require a vote of the people because the map contains restrictions specifically identifying the specific locations of certain streets. C/Harmony moved, M/Ansari seconded to adopt Resolution No. 96-19: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR APPROVING FINAL TRACT MAP 51169 LOCATED IN "THE COUNTRY" IN THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR (OWNER: UNIONWIDE).

OLD BUSINESS: 8.1 ADOPTED RESOLUTION NO. 96-17: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR SUPPORTING AND ENDORSING THE PASSAGE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION NO. 203, ENTITLED, THE PUBLIC EDUCATION FACILITY BOND ACT OF 1996 - CM/Belanger stated that the bond issued would provide $3 billion dollars for public education facilities throughout the State with $2.25 billion dollars going to K-12 schools, which will benefit both Pomona and Walnut Unified School District construction programs. Specifically in D.B., it will benefit the full construction of Diamond Ranch High School. Brenda Engdahl, Pomona Unified School District Board of Trustees, asked for support for passage of Prop. 203. MPT/Huff stated that he was in support of the resolution to help support schools for our children. Martha Bruske, 600 So. Great Bend, expressed concern that this issue is before the Council and felt that the Council should stay neutral on matters such as this. She suggested a possible conflict of interest with Walnut Valley Unified School District. Red Calkins, 240 Eagle Nest Dr., spoke in opposition to the measure. C/Harmony stated that he was in support of this measure. C/Herrera also stated she was in support of the measure and asked the residents of the City to vote in favor of this issue. MPT/Huff clarified that the Council does not have a vote on the issue as far as the City doesn't vote, but as leaders of the community, it's important for Council to give direction to the community on issues that are important. The measure is important to stop our students from going out of the City for their education. M/Ansari also stated that she was in support of the measure. MPT/Huff moved, C/Herrera seconded to adopt Resolution No. 96-17: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR SUPPORTING AND ENDORSING THE PASSAGE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION NO. 203, ENTITLED, THE PUBLIC EDUCATION FACILITY BOND ACT OF 1996.

ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business to discuss, M/Ansari adjourned the meeting at 9:37 p.m. LYNDA BURGESS, City Clerk ATTEST: Mayor CITY OF DIAMOND BAR MINUTES OF THE PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION BOARD HEARING ROOM OF S.C.A.Q.M.D. 21865 Copley Drive JANUARY 25, 1996 CALL TO ORDER Chairman Ruzicka called the meeting to order at 7:08 p.m. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE The audience was led in the Pledge of Allegiance by Commissioner Tye. ROLL CALL Present: Chairman Ruzicka, Vice Chairman Goldenberg, Commissioners Tye, Finnerty, and Medina. Staff: Bob Rose, Community Services Director; Chris Emeterio, Recreation Supervisor; Don Hensley, Parks and Maintenance Superintendent Absent: None MATTERS FROM THE AUDIENCE Kay Dalli, Mad Dog Tennis & Racquet Sports, 21450 Golden Springs, #J, reported that she has received complaints since 1989 from local tennis players that there are private lessons being conducted at the Maple Hill Park and Ronald Reagan Park tennis courts by private individuals and recreation class instructors. Witnesses and students of these instructors were given by name in a written report. She requested that these lessons stop at once and that disciplinary action be taken against these instructors. She also asked the City to consider Mad Dog Tennis & Racquet Sports as a City contractor to provide tennis lessons. CSD/Rose commented that the representatives of Mad Dog Tennis have been very helpful in providing information about people using the tennis courts. New signage has been ordered to be placed on the tennis courts that would indicate that no private lessons are to be given in city parks. He indicated that any complaints about contract class instructors have been referred to Jan Stwertnik, Class Specialist, City of Brea and she has questioned the instructors when these complaints are received. In regards to the proposal by Mad Dog Tennis to conduct classes, he advised that this would have to be done on a competitive basis with an RFP being sent out into the general community to obtain responses from qualified providers. This service is already provided for in the City of Brea's contract. If it is the will of the JANUARY 25, 1996 Page 2 Parks & Recreation Commission Commission to consider another contractor separate from the recreation provider, it can be completed as such. VC/Goldenberg asked for a response to the class size requirements. CSD/Rose stated that the class sizes are determined by negotiation with each instructor and stated in the contract. The maximum class size is based on the quality of the experience for that class subject. Each instructor has an option to teach a class under the minimum class size. CH/Ruzicka commented that even though six people may have registered for the class but only one student shows up, the instructor will teach that one student. CSD/Rose advised that if the student has paid and the class has not been cancelled, however many students show up for the class, the instructor is obligated to conduct the class. If one person shows up and there are six enrolled in the class, the instructor is obligated to teach the class. C/Finnerty asked if the other no-show students get their money back. CSD/Rose advised that they do not get a refund unless they have requested their money back prior to the class. The policy states that if a student goes to the first class and finds it not appropriate for them, then the City will refund the entire fee minus a $5.00 service charge. No money is refundable after the second class is conducted: Ms. Dalli commented that Ms. Stwertnik stated that if two people sign up for a tennis class and that is below the minimum for that class, the class can still be given. VC/Goldenberg stated that the minimum number students that would be in a class would be negotiated between the City of Brea and the instructor. They would make the determination if that instructor would want to come out for one or two people as a minimum. C/Finnerty asked what the minimum number of students is for a tennis class. Is it up to the teacher to accept a reduced wage if they are accepting less than the minimum? CSD/Rose advised that the City of Diamond Bar does not impose a minimum. The instructor has the option to accept a reduced wage for less students than the minimum. C/Finnerty also asked if the instructor receives more if they reach the maximum. JANUARY 25, 1996 Page 3 Parks & Recreation Commission CSD/Rose advised that the instructors receive 60% of the participant fees. C/Finnerty asked if the class has only two people, does the instructor still receive 60%. CSD/Rose stated that the percentage does not change with the number of students. ClTye stated that he does not take the verbiage as the smallest group that the class will accept, is six, however he takes the verbiage as the smallest group consists of a minimum of six participants on that day. Ms. Dal Ii requested the City to consider a minimum class size. C/Tye stated if a class is offered and only two students show up, then it's the city's responsibility to still conduct the class. CH/Ruzicka stated that the City is in need of more facilities. There is a definite communication problem between this particular tennis instructor and the people he faces when he conducts his classes on the courts. These facilities need to shared by all tennis players. He stated that the Commission should consider if it is appropriate for the tennis classes to be with a separate contractor. In regards to the city tennis instructor, C/Tye asked Ms. Dally if she is positive that this instructor received payment for a private lesson on the City tennis courts. Ms. Dalli advised that she spoke with the student who received private lessons from the contract instructor and the student advised that he paid the instructor directly. C/Tye stated that he has heard the instructor state that he has never received any monies for private lessons while using city property. CSD/Rose stated that Ms. Stwertnik has asked the instructor and the instructor has indicated that he has not received any private funds for lessons on city property. C/Tye stated that Ms. Dally could call Ms. Stwertnik and give the student's name and phone number for a follow up on the private lesson. CSD/Rose stated that the City caught a private tennis instructor using the courts for the purpose of conducting private lessons. The sheriff's were called and nothing could be done to that person because there were no signs indicating that private lessons are prohibited on city property. Once the signage is posted, the sheriff's will enforce the rule prohibiting JANUARY 25, 1996 Page 4 Parks & Recreation Commission private lessons on City tennis courts. C/Tye asked why isn't the rule enforceable without the signs. CSD/Rose advised that this City rule is not part of the municipal code. It is a rule that is enforceable only when posted. C/Tye asked what would happen to the City of Brea contract if the Commission wants to have the tennis lessons done by a private contractor. CSD/Rose advised that tennis lessons are a negotiable item in the City of Brea's contract. This would require a 90 day notice to the City of Brea advising them that we would no longer need their tennis services. C/Finnerty commented that the class brochure needs to advise students that if a class only has one or two students enrolled the class may be cancelled or combined with another class. With regards to C/Finnerty's comments, VC/Goldenberg disagreed in that the instructor may be teaching this class for fun and not for the money. C/Finnerty stated that we are creating a problem within the community of other people with greater numbers than the two people in the class who would like to use that court during that period of time. VC/Goldenberg stated that only four people can be accommodated for play on the tennis court at one time. CSD/Rose stated per the staff's point of view, it has always been the desire to leave as much discretion as possible with the class instructor and class coordinator to make changes or combine classes in order to have classes conducted and not cancelled. CH/Ruzicka stated that there has to be something done with all of the above view points. There is a communication problem between the tennis instructor and the neighbors that want to play tennis. With regard to C/Finnerty's comments, there should be something that is done to fulfill the need to combine classes or cancel classes. C/Finnerty stated that the classes that she was discussing was the early day time classes and not the children's classes. Ms. Dalli confirmed that it is the early morning classes that have created this problem. JANUARY 25, 1996 Page 5 Parks & Recreation Commission CH/Ruzicka stated that these problems will be worked out. C/Medina advised the Commission that the residents that use the Maple Hill Courts will be organizing a tennis tournament. CH/Ruzicka asked CSD/Rose and staff to see that the residents are contacted in regards to this tennis tournament. C/Finnerty asked if a permit is required and about liability insurance requirements. CSD/Rose advised that they would need to meet a $1 million dollar liability insurance requirement, which can be purchased through the City. CONSENT CALENDAR 1. VC/Goldenberg requested that the minutes be corrected as follows: Page 9, paragraph 5, change the Commissioner's name to read: "C/Tye reminded the Commission that CH/Ruzicka had suggested..." C/Tye moved to approve the corrected Minutes of December 28, 1995, seconded by C/Medina, carried unanimously 5-0. 2. C/Finnerty requested that the minutes be revised as follows: Page 4, paragraph 6, change the comment to read verbatim: "C/Finnerty commented that the people who were commenting to us about the use of the tennis courts and having to share them, we were talking about an ownership problem that they felt a very strong ownership, that they did not want to share. Talking about a stay-at-home mom, that she should be taking lessons in the afternoon because she has all day, "they" are working, her children are home, she is working in the afternoon and time in the morning was her only time that she had free time to be taking tennis lessons and her time and her pay, which was taking care of her children and raising her family, was equal to anything they were doing and they needed to give that respect." CSD/Rose reported that this correction will be brought back to the next meeting for review and a motion. With consensus of the Commission, the minutes will reflect the above correction and brought back to the next scheduled meeting for a motion. JANUARY 25, 1996 Page 6 Parks & Recreation Commission 3. With consensus of the Commission, the transmittal of letter to the City of Brea dated January 12, 1996 regarding the Recreation Services Agreement was accepted as information only. CSD/Rose updated the Commission that the first year of a three year contract has been completed. This letter does not reflect a renegotiating of the entire contract but renegotiation of some of the program elements that are included in the contract. CH/Ruzicka asked if a sub -committee is needed for the renegotiations. CSD/Rose advised that there is no need for a sub -committee. This is a routine matter of clarifying that the program elements that are in the contract are the program elements that the City needs. 4. With consensus of the Commission, the transmittal of L.A. Times article dated 1/2/96 was accepted as information only. in regards to the article, CH/Ruzicka commented that Mr. Bendib's troubles are not unique to him and that the 20th century has not been kind to a lot of people. This article is not appropriate in regards to the project in Diamond Bar. He asked why this article was presented to the Commission. CSD/Rose stated that Mr. Bendib is involved in a project in the community and this article is seen as an opportunity to bring some information about the individual that other people in the community might be referring to when talking to Commissioners. VC/Goldenberg stated for the record that Mr. Bendib does not have any active project within the City of Diamond Bar, he has a proposal contingent upon the raising of approximately $200,000 of private funds. Until there is such a project, VC/Goldenberg does not feel that this article should be a part of the Commission's records. C/Finnerty asked if the City Council forwarded this article to the Commission for further information about Mr. Bendib. CSD/Rose stated that there is a city staff member whose job is to scan the newspapers and find any information that in some way could relate back to Diamond Bar. When articles are located, the City Manager's office will carbon JANUARY 25, 1996 Page 7 Parks & Recreation Commission copy the appropriate persons and/or Commissions. C/Finnerty confirmed that this article came directly from the City Manager's office and asked if the City Manager indicated that it was anything but information for the Commission. VC/Goldenberg asked that this item be changed to indicate, "that an informational news clipping was distributed to the Commissioners." With consensus of the Commission, this statement was accepted. OLD BUSINESS 5. Park Maintenance Up -date - CSD/Rose reported on the update provide to the Commissioners. Return visits to the park by staff and the Commission will start in March. CH/Ruzicka commended Superintendent Hensley for the actions taken on suggestions that came from the Commissioners and citizens. VC/Goldenberg commented on Paul C. Grow, letter L, in that the tree pole was supposed to be removed however the tree was removed. PMS/Hensley reported that the pole was stuck to the tree therefore the tree was removed. C/Medina stated that a dumpster, speed bump on the walk way, and the block wall above the parking lot needs to be repaired at Summit Ridge Park. CH/Ruzicka commented that he does not want to see a speed bump on the walk way. C/Tye asked about Peterson Park, letter H, whether a purchase order is needed when the contractor was going to do it as an "in kind" contribution. CSD/Rose advised that a free slurry seal and striping job will be provided by the contractor. However, in order to accomplish that the alligator cracks in the parking lot need to be repaired first. The asphalt will be repaired at a cost of $2,900. Once the asphalt is completed, then the parking lot will be slurried and re -striped with no cost to the City. JANUARY 25, 1996 Page 8 Parks & Recreation Commission C/Tye asked what the savings to the City will be for the slurry and re -striping donation. CSD/Rose advised approximately $3,600. 6. Parks and Recreation Commission Priorities for the 1996/97 Fiscal Year - CH/Ruzicka reported that each Commissioner received a priorities list for review and the recommended action is for the Commission to review the list and provide staff with a prioritized list of recommendations. CSD/Rose suggested several methods to accomplish this prioritized list: 1) each Commissioner prioritizing their own list and returning it to staff; 2) establish an ad hoc committee to make a recommendation back to the full Commission. VC/Goldenberg stated that he would like to see Larkstone Park developed in the near future. CH/Ruzicka volunteered to serve on the ad hoc committee. C/Finnerty volunteered to serve on the ad hoc committee. CH/Ruzicka requested that C/Tye serve on the ad hoc committee. With consensus of the Commission, C/Finnerty and C/Tye will serve as the Priority Matrix ad hoc committee. C/Tye asked staff for status on the Larkstone Park. CSD/Rose reported that staff had last been in contact with the Walnut Valley Unified School District in October. The request of the school district was to provide appropriate land to replace Larkstone Park. The school district has advised the City they have land in the middle school area comparable to the land they are currently occupying. However, the specific location has not yet been disclosed. VC/Goldenberg commented that because the school district has used our land rent free for this long, the school district should have to develop the land for city use and provide a separate access. C/Tye asked what needs to happen and who needs to contact the school JANUARY 25, 1996 Page 9 Parks & Recreation Commission district. CSD/Rose stated that the City Attorney has mentioned that one course of action is to put the school district on notice that the city will exercise its property rights and prohibit the construction of the new school on this property. VC/Goldenberg commented that because the City of Diamond Bar has violated the County of Los Angeles's quit claim, the property could revert back to county ownership. CSD/Rose advised that the County of Los Angeles does not want the property back, that they need to see some definitive action taken by the City to obtain replacement land. The County of Los Angeles has been updated on this issue. CH/Ruzicka asked if the ad hoc committee could place this matter in the priorities matrix and make a recommendation at that time. C/Tye is not in favor of this issue being lost on a piece of paper. He wants to see this issue handled separately. CSD/Rose advised that he will see that a letter is drafted to Ron Hawkwalt, Superintendent of Schools, that the City of Diamond Bar is very concerned about the current situation and that the land needs to be replaced immediately. C/Medina left the Commission meeting at 8:33 p.m. C/Finnerty asked what the impact would be on the school district if they continued to do nothing and the County of Los Angeles exercises the reversion clause of the quit claim. Is there anything that can be done to get the school district's attention? CSD/Rose stated that there are ways to get the school district's attention. C/Finnerty asked if site D is the property on Diamond Bar Blvd. and Brea Canyon Road, across from the Arco station beyond the wash. CSD/Rose confirmed that that was correct. CH/Ruzicka asked that this specific item be placed on the next agenda for further discussion and recommendations. JANUARY 25, 1996 Page 10 Parks & Recreation Commission NEW BUSINESS 7. Request from the City Council to Consider the Addition of High School Students as non-voting members of the Parks and Recreation Commission - CH/Ruzicka stated that he likes this idea for the fact that the Commission gets an opportunity to hear different approaches to problems. He is concerned that if two high school students are asked to become involved, what would the variety of other citizens think. CJFinnerty stated that we need to include the students in the process so that when they turn 18 they see a reason for voting, a reason for being involved. It makes the classes they are taking in government more real to them and shows that there is a process to getting things done. CH/Ruzicka asked what is required from the Commission. CSD/Rose stated that the Commission is being asked to make a recommendation to the City Council on this subject. C/Tye asked if the City Council will have students involved at their level. CSD/Rose stated Mayor Ansari's recommendation is for the City Council to add two high students to each Commission, however not for the City Council. C/Tye recommended that the City Council also have two high school students participate with them. VC/Goldenberg stated that he is in favor of input from everyone in the community and that is why the Commission has public comments at the beginning of the meeting. He suggested that if students are wanted to participate in the commissions then a standing sub -committee be developed. This sub -committee will provide direction to the commission that they can forward for appropriate action. He is concerned that some items may be too complicated for the students to handle. C/Tye stated that he is in favor of VC/Goldenberg's suggestion for a standing sub- committee. ub- committee. C/Finnerty suggested that the students be listed as volunteers with no stipend. C/Finnerty also asked what happens when the new high school opens. CSD/Rose commented that when Diamond Ranch High School opens, there would JANUARY 25, 1996 Page 11 Parks & Recreation Commission be representation from the new high school and Diamond Bar High School CH/Ruzicka stated that the sub -committee will give the students a forum in which to be involved in the process. C/Finnerty stated that the sub -committee needs a regular spot on the agenda for reporting their input. VC/Goldenberg moved to recommend to the City Council to set up a standing sub- committee composed of two juniors or seniors in high school that are Diamond Bar residents and attend local high schools that would be invited to attend the Commission meetings on a regular basis with time to report on their needs and to discuss agendized items. Motion seconded by C/Finnerty, carried unanimously 4-0 with C/Medina absent. 8. Discussion of City of Claremont's Youth Master Plan - CH/Ruzicka commented that he was impressed with the City of Claremont's Youth Master Plan and would like to see this be a part of the city's anticipated parks master plan. It should be named a Community Services Master Plan and it should be recommended to the City Council that this Commission be redesignated as the Community Services Commission. He asked if a motion is required. CSD/Rose stated no, a motion is not required. He went on to add that on the Priorities Matrix, under Administration, four different items are mentioned that would qualify as being elements within the Parks Master Plan. Staff's belief is that if we are going to consider a Youth Master Plan document, then it would be appropriate to list that on the Priorities Matrix. Then when the Parks Master Plan is considered, then the elements that we want in the Master Plan would be prioritized. CH/Ruzicka asked if the ad hoc committee would study the Priorities Matrix issue and make recommendations to the Commission. CSD/Rose stated that this could be discussed at that level but the ad hoc committee will be making recommendations primarily on the elements for the overall budget consideration. VC/Goldenberg asked if the Master Plan was funded at this time. CSD/Rose advised that during the budget process last year it was proposed at $75,000. JANUARY 25, 1996 Page 12 Parks & Recreation Commission However, it was removed from the budget because the General Plan had not yet been adopted. It will be considered again for the 1996/97 budget year. 9. City of Diamond Bar's Seventh Anniversary Celebration - CH/Ruzicka asked for volunteers for this ad hoc committee. He volunteered CJMedina as an ad-hoc committee member. VC/Goldenberg also volunteered to participate as an ad-hoc committee member. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS 10. Recreational Program Up -date - a. Athletics Youth Basketball - This program is for boys and girls 4-8 years old. There are two divisions: 4 and 5 year olds; and 6 through 8 year olds. Games began Saturday, January 6 at Maple Hill Park. The goal for the program is 180 participants (60/4 and 5 year olds; 100/6 to 8 year olds), and generating $8,800 in revenue. There are presently 170 children registered, generating $9,350. The program was unable to use the park for one week due to construction at the park, The program was moved temporarily to Heritage Park. Starting Saturday, January 20 all games and practices were returned to Maple Hill Park. Parents, participants, and staff are expecting the remainder of the program to continue smoothly. City Wide Youth Track and Field Meet - This program is scheduled for Diamond Bar track facilities on Saturday, March 16. The total revenue goal for the contract year for youth sports is $41,440. To date, $36,765 has been generated from youth sports. - Adult Sports - The Winter Adult Basketball League is underway at Diamond Bar High School. There are presently 14 teams participating in two divisions ($6,020 in revenue). The goal for the contract year (May 1, 1995 -April 30, 1996) is 48 teams and $20,640 in revenue. To date, there have been 37 teams and $16,050 in revenue. With one more league left to be implemented prior to the end of the contract (set to begin in February 1996), the revenue and team participation goals will be met and probably exceeded. JANUARY 25, 1996 Page 13 Parks & Recreation Commission There are eights teams in the current Adult Softball league playing at Peterson Park on Sundays. The winter season tends to have less teams involved. This can be attributed to weather conditions, holiday seasons, football season, and a good time to take a team break from a league. To date, there have been 44 teams registered for the present contract year, generating $16,517 in revenue. There will be one more season left to begin prior to the end of the contract. The goal of the program is to serve 72 teams and to generate $28,080 in revenue. In the next league, staff believes that we will have 16 more teams, for a total of 60 teams served for the contract year. Staff is preparing an evaluation form to be distributed to all current and past softball teams in an effort to enhance future softball leagues. Staff feels there are several reasons contributing to fewer team enrollments. Many complain about the poor field conditions. Many times (two times in the present league) the landscape company has not dragged or tended to the diamonds on Sunday mornings. Another reason may be the lack of weekday facilities and lighted ball fields. Playing on Sundays limits the number of teams; most teams prefer to play during the week. Staff feels the evaluation form that will be distributed in the winter can be used to upgrade the current program. b. Adult Excursions The Rose Parade was "sold out", with 94 participants enrolled ($4,860 in revenue). The Laughlin Turnaround scheduled for January 30, 1996, has 43 people enrolled, with a maximum of 43 possible ($2,167 in revenue). To date, there have been 420 participants registered, generating $20,162 in revenue. There are five more excursions set for the next three months. C. Contract Classes The Winter Brochure was mailed to the community the week of December 26. Customer care evaluations are being mailed and/or distributed to some of the participants of the fall programs and staff will provide the results in the February meeting. The goal for the contract year is to serve 4,300 participants, while generating $130,000. Registration for last of the four sessions began in January (Spring 95, Summer 95, Fall 95, and Winter 95), approximately 3,400 customers have been service while generating $118,858. Some exciting new classes include: Bugs and Other Buddies, a pre-school parent participation science class where children will observe live insects, JANUARY 25, 1996 Page 14 Parks & Recreation Commission make puppets, and make edible insect "snacks"; a popular requested adult class is a CPR workshop scheduled twice during the winter session; following today's trends, we are offering a class entitled, "How to $Cash$ in With a Successful Business." d. Outdoor High School Concert A meeting took place Tuesday, December 5, at Sycamore Canyon Park portable. At the meeting, staff, along with a band representative, discussed some of the issues and tried to gather information to outline a future concert by high school age kids in the Diamond Bar area. Staff has the contacts and confirmations of five local bands that want to participate. A follow-up meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, January 31 at the Sycamore Canyon portable building. ANNOUNCEMENTS C/Finnerty asked for an update on Pantera Park, if the same contractor for Maple Hill Park will be completing the work and have they promised a better result than what we received at Maple Hill Park. CSD/Rose reported that meetings have been held with the architect and a project team consisting of staff members from the engineering department, planning department, building and safety department, and the City Manager's office in working out the details of the site elements that would include furnishings, final grading elevations, access points, walkways, etc. RJM Design Group will remain the Landscape Architect for Pantera Park. He further advised of the problems that were experienced at Maple Hill Park. C/Finnerty asked who's oversight was it that caused the problems at Maple Hill Park. CSD/Rose stated that RJM Design Group was the designer and the original project manager for Maple Hill Park. GFinnerty asked if the City Council had stated that they would find more funding for a larger building at Pantera Park. CSD/Rose stated he was not aware of such a decision. C/Tye stated that Mayor Papen had said that there are other funds available for a larger building. JANUARY 25, 1996 Page 15 Parks & Recreation Commission C/Finnerty asked if the City Council gave direction to staff for a larger building. CSD/Rose stated that the full City Council had not directed staff to construct a larger building. However, research has been completed on the costs for a larger facility. He further advised that the present proposed building as designed can accommodate an addition which would result in a stand alone 1,000 square foot building. GTye had no comments. VC/Goldenberg had no comments. CH/Ruzicka had no comments. ADJOURNMENT C/Tye moved to adjourn the meeting at 9:20 p.m., VC/Goldenberg seconded the motion and it carried unanimously 4-0, with C/Medina absent.

ROLL CALL Present: Chairman Ruzicka, Vice Chairman Goldenberg, Commissioners Tye, Finnerty, and Medina. Staff: Community Services Director Bob Rose Recreation Supervisor Chris Emeterio Absent: None MATTERS FROM THE AUDIENCE None CONSENT CALENDAR 1. Minutes of January 11, 1996 Special meeting - C/Tye moved, C/Finnerty seconded the motion to approve Minutes of January 11, 1996 Special meeting. Motion carried 4-0, VC/Goldenberg abstaining. 2. Minutes of January 25, 1996 Regular meeting - With consensus of the Commission, the minutes of January 25, 1996 will be reviewed at the March 28, 1996 meeting. 3. Amended Minutes of October 26,1995 - C/Medina requested that the minutes be revised as follows: Page 2, paragraph 6, change the question to reflect: "C/Medina asked if the art in the park may be considered if the artist changes the subject matter of the sculptures and does not accept a fee for his work." C/Finnerty moved, seconded by VC/Goldenberg to approve the Amended FEBRUARY 22, 1996 Page 2 Parks & Recreation Commission Minutes of October 26, 1995 as amended. Motion carried unanimously 5-0. OLD BUSINESS 4. Art in the Park - CH/Ruzicka drafted a memorandum to the City Council in order to clarify the Commission's recommendations on this matter. VC/Goldenberg moved, C/Tye seconded the motion to forward the memorandum as presented to the City Council. With regard to new members joining the Commission in March, C/Finnerty stated that this memorandum should be held until the new Commissioners review it. City Council understands the feelings of this Commission, but the City Council may want to know the opinion of the new Commission. She is not in favor of forwarding this to the City Council. CH/Ruzicka stated that this subject has been discussed for 3-4 months and has received a significant amount of public input. He does not feel that this subject should be delayed for the new commissioners' input. This Commission should go on record with their concerns. C/Tye supports the memorandum and the memorandum needs to reflect the opinion of the body as it was when the issue was brought before the Commission. VC/Goldenberg supports the memorandum. Motion carried 4-1, C/Finnerty opposing. 5. Community Request to Perform the Musical "From Sea to Shining Sea" at the 1996 Summer Concerts In The Park - CSD/Rose updated the Commissioners in that the matter was originally referred by the City Council to a City Council sub committee, made up of Council Members Gary Werner and Clair Harmony. Both of the sub committee members believe that since the Commission last took action on this item based on the information in the script, it would be appropriate for the Commission to review and reconsider. The sub committee expressed concern that this play would be presented with recorded music and wants to see some type of audition to see a sample of the presentation of the play. Valerie Chamberlain, 1641 Maple Hill Road, introduced herself. FEBRUARY 22, 1996 Page 3 Parks & Recreation Commission C/Finnerty asked if the music was going to be background music and will the vocals be a part of that. Valerie Chamberlain stated that the background music is on a CD and is used for rehearsals as well as the live performance. The CD is more effective and cost efficient. This performance will be opened to the community for their participation in the play. CH/Ruzicka asked how many cast members would be involved. Ms. Chamberlain stated approximately 100. C/Medina asked if the stage would accommodate that many cast members. CSD/Rose stated that in addition to the stage, there will be a need for risers to accommodate the cast members. All cast members will not be on stage at one time. Ms. Chamberlain advised that the play will be approximately one hour long and would accommodate other patriotic songs not included in the original script. CSD/Rose advised that the City Council sub committee wanted to see a community audition as soon as possible. Per Ms. Chamberlain, an audition is not possible until April. C/Finnerty stated that she believes that the auditions for parts in the play must be opened to all members of the community. VC/Goldenberg spoke in favor of this performance. The script has not been read by any of the City Council members or Commission members and this needs to be done. C/Tye expressed concern if this pre-recorded musical fits in with the Concerts in the Park venue. Marilyn McOwen, 2464 Sunbright Drive, stated that the CD track is much more effective than a live band. Ms. Chamberlain stated that CSD/Rose's objection was that there were places in the play that referred to Christ and to religion. FEBRUARY 22, 1996 Page 4 Parks & Recreation Commission VC/Goldenberg stated that CSD/Rose has never said anything negative about this play. CH/Ruzicka referred back to this original discussion in that the City should not be afraid of presenting a Christian view and values of how this country was founded. The sub committee needs to review the script and advised that by getting a band to accompany this play would be extremely expensive and probably not possible. Ms. McOwen suggested that the narrator and one scene be brought in for the sub committee's review. CH/Ruzicka asked staff if a 15-20 minute audition would be sufficient for the City Council's purposes. CSD/Rose advised that the sub committee requested a sample of the music to demonstrate the quality, and a sample of the wardrobe that would give them the idea of the quality. CH/Ruzicka advised that the organization needs to answer the sub committee's and the City Council's questions with regard to the project. Ms. Chamberlain suggested that she could find a band that would be willing to accompany the play. C/Medina stated that the CD background music would be the best quality. Ms. Chamberlain stated that their organization, is from the Church of )esus Christ Later Day Saints. Ms. McOwen stated that the City Council stated that their church could not sponsor this play, however, if it was opened up to the entire community then the play could go on. This is being performed as a community service. C/Tye again expressed concern if this is the correct venue for this play and asked why can't this play be done on another day. C/Finnerty asked where the rehearsals would take place. CSD/Rose stated that this play was originally represented to the City staff and the City Attorney as a co sponsored play between the church and the City. FEBRUARY 22, 1996 Page 5 Parks & Recreation Commission The City Attorney advised that this does not need to be a co sponsored event and the City can contract with any entity to provide entertainment generically. Rehearsals and auditions can be provided within their facility. The sub committee expressed concern that the format of this musical is different from past concepts and questioned whether it would be accepted by the residents. VC/Goldenberg asked if this production will be ready in four months. Ms. Chamberlain advised that they will have the community support and participation. The church has a large enough hall to support all of the practices, auditions, etc. C/Tye asked why this production could not be held in that "hall" and not the park. Ms. Chamberlain stated that this musical is being offered as a community service in the park for the musical to be seen by hundreds of Diamond Bar residents. Debby O'Connor, 23725 Bower Cascade Place, asked about this type of musical setting a precedence. CH/Ruzicka advised that City staff makes the decision of who performs in the concerts. C/Finnerty requested that all auditions be held in a neutral facility to show that this play is backed by community members. She suggested the high school for auditions and rehearsals. C/Finnerty moved, seconded by C/Medina to accept the recommendation of the organization to present this program with the aforementioned modifications: 1) neutral location for auditions; 2) finished script with additions and deletions be presented to the City Council for their approval; and 3) the auditions for parts in the play must be open to the entire community. C/Tye again expressed concerns that he does not feel that this is the appropriate venue for this play. He asked for an explanation of the organization's purpose. Ms. Chamberlain stated that their purpose is to put on a patriotic production for the community as a community service. This play would not work any other night but the July 3rd Concerts in the Park night. FEBRUARY 22, 1996 Page 6 Parks & Recreation Commission Ms. McOwen suggested that the City hold a fire works show after the production. CSD/Rose advised that the City of Diamond Bar has a lot of undeveloped land that is in a natural state. A fire works show requires a tremendous fall out zone to avoid a brush fire. The play would be advertised as a musical with a patriotic theme. VC/Goldenberg stated that a ninth concert has been added this year and since the July 3rd concert in the park is not the first one, the designation could possibly be changed. Motion carried 3-2, VC/Goldenberg and C/Tye opposing. NEW BUSINESS 6. Priorities for 1996/97 Fiscal Year Budget - VC/Goldenberg moved that this item be continued to the March 28, 1996 meeting for review and discussion by the new Commissioners. The motion died due to the lack of a second. CSD/Rose stated that by continuing this item, the Commission may lose the opportunity to provide input for the budget process. C/Tye suggested that this type of issue be reviewed every two years when there might be a change in the Commission. With regard to item 6, Parks Master Plan title, CH/Ruzicka asked that this title be revised to include what the City is trying to accomplish, i.e., Youth Master Plan, Senior Citizen Master Plan. He commended C/Tye and C/Finnerty for prioritizing the recommended issues. VC/Goldenberg expressed concern that the new Commission would not have any input on this budget. Ms. O'Connor asked if there was any consideration to working with Diamond Ranch High School and planning to do any budgeting with helping the school. CSD/Rose advised that the Pomona Unified School District has met with City staff in reference to the City funding improvements at the new high school. VC/Goldenberg stated that the other high schools that service our community have never received any funds from the City. FEBRUARY 22, 1996 Page 7 Parks & Recreation Commission C/Finnerty moved, C/Tye seconded the motion to accept the Priorities for 1996/97 Fiscal Year Budget as proposed. Motion carried unanimously 5-0.

Staff is working with Band Departments at both Diamond Bar and Ganesha High Schools to participate in the celebration. "Sounds of Diamond Bar" is a possible theme that may tie in with the participation of the local high school bands ANNOUNCEMENTS C/Medina thanked CH/Ruzicka and VC/Goldenberg for their service on the Commission. C/Finnerty announced that she has received feed back from the senior community that the senior excursions are too expensive compared to the City of Walnut. The Therapeutic Recreational Program would provide social events in the City of Diamond Bar for the mentally handicapped.

Please file this claim and return a conformed copy in the enclosed, self- addressed envelope. Very truly yours ELLEN R. SERBIN ERS/ssr Enclosures CLAIM FOR DAMAGES Pursuant to the provisions of Division 3.6 of Title I of the Government Code, the undersigned herewith presents a claim for damages to the City of Diamond Bar. The undersigned states as follows: 1. Name of Claimants: Mohammad Lateef. 2. Address of Claimants: 1665 Morning Sun Avenue, Walnut, California ("Claimant's Property") 3. Address to which Claimants desire notices to be sent: Major Alan Langer, Perona, Langer & Beck, 300 E. San Antonio Drive, Long Beach, CA 90807-0948. 4. The date of accrual of cause of action: Landslide originally occurred on May 19, 1995 and continues to present. 5. The place and other circumstances of the occurrence or transaction ,giving rise to the claim: At all times material hereto, the Claimant has been and is the legal owner of real property and improvements thereon with the common addresses described in item number two above, the Claimant's Property. The City of Diamond Bar is the legal owner of real property adjacent to and surrounding the Claimant's Property ("City Property" herein). The City Property includes slopes adjacent to the Claimant's Property with the Claimant's Property located at the base of the slopes. Additionally, the City of Diamond Bar is the owner of roads and sidewalks adjacent to the Claimant's Property and is responsible for maintaining the roads and sidewalks and for protecting the public safety. The Claimant believes the City of Diamond Bar approved plans for and grading of the roads and drainage systems, and that the City of Diamond Bar accepted the roads and drainage systems for the benefit of the public. On and before May 19, 1995, the City of Diamond Bar negligently, recklessly, and carelessly owned, graded, developed, maintained, and supervised the maintenance and ownership of the City Property so as to undermine the stability of the slopes and soils at the City Property and cause portions of the City Property to slide into and onto the Claimant's Property, including the improvements thereon. The Claimant was unaware of the unstable soils conditions caused by the City's acts and omissions until May 19, 1995, when the acts and omissions caused the landslide onto the Claimant's Property as described above. 1 Additionally, the City of Diamond Bar negligently, recklessly, and carelessly owned, graded, developed, approved, accepted, and maintained the roads and sidewalks and drainage systems adjacent to the Claimant's Property. The condition of the roads, sidewalks, and drainage systems owned, approved, and maintained by the City of Diamond Bar caused an increase in the volume of surface water run-off in the area which undermined the stability of the surrounding slopes and graded landscape. Further, the roads, drainage systems, and sidewalks were permitted to erode and deteriorate, and the soils thereunder permitted to destabilize, which contributed to the landslide on May 19, 1995. Finally, the Claimant believes the road itself, as approved and accepted by the City, was designed, developed, and constructed in such a way that it cut into the toe of the slopes and reduced the slope stability which destablization contributed to the May 19, 1995, landslide. Further, there are certain water and sewage pipes located on and around the City Property described above. The Claimant believes the City approved and accepted the water and sewage pipes for the benefit of the public. On and before May 19, 1995, the City negligently, recklessly, and carelessly designed, installed, maintained, and supervised the maintenance of the water pipes so as to cause the pipes to leak into the surrounding soil in the first half of 1995. During that period, water leaked from the pipes into the soil, and such leakage undermined the soils conditions and slope stability which ultimately contributed to a landslide of soils and debris onto the Claimant's Property on May 19, 1995. Such leakage further undermined the stability of surrounding roads and sidewalks, causing dips to develop in the roads and sidewalks. 6. Description of the indebtedness, obligation•injury- damage or loss incurred: The landslide onto the Claimant's Property created conditions which were and are unsafe and unhealthful and has caused the Claimant to suffer emotional distress, physical illness, worry, mental anguish, and poor health. The Claimant is claiming all damages for present and long term physical and mental illness and/or distress that will result. The damages include, but are not limited to; past, present, and future medical expenses, emotional distress, pain and suffering, inconvenience, and lost earnings and income. Further, the Claimant is seeking recovery of the diminution in property values, and any other property damage, including costs of repair and damage to personal property, resulting from the acts and/or omissions of the City. As a result of the landslide, the Claimant's Property 2 have been damaged, and repairs must be made. Additionally, the Claimant's Property have been damaged in that the property values for each of the Claimant's Property have been reduced as has the value for the neighborhood in general resulting from the now well documented landslide. The obligations incurred by the City are based, in part, upon theories of negligence, gross negligence, carelessness and recklessness, eminent domain, failure to take remedial actions, failure to properly maintain property, trespass, nuisance, and inverse condemnation. known: The Claimant is unaware of the names of the public employees who caused the injury, damage, and loss. Certain individuals who represented they were public employees sent to investigate the incident are Mike Meyers, Mike Johnson, Gary Werner, and Jim Shuttleworth. The amount claimed together with the basis of comp Ott atio : (a) Property damage: The amount claimed exceeds $10,000.00 for each claimant individually and will be within the jurisdiction of the Superior Court for the State of California. The computation will be based upon the diminution of value of the Claimant's Property, as well as costs of repairing the Claimant's Property, as determined by qualified experts. (b) Personal injury and other general damages: The amount claimed exceeds $10,000.00 for each claimant individually and will be within the jurisdiction of the Superior Court for the State of California. The computation will be based upon past, present and future medical expenses, emotional distress, pain and suffering, inconvenience, lost wages, and lost earnings and income.

AGENDA NO. REPORT DATE: April 11, 1996 SUMMARY: Under the purchasing guidelines, blanket purchase. orders (or any combination thereof), that are awarded to a single vendor shall not exceed $10,000 without prior authorization from the City Council. Due to the significant amount of ongoing, and anticipated projects that the City will undertake in the next two months, which require the services of this vendor, the initial $10,000 award will be exceeded. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve an additional $5,000 for vendor services performed by Highpoint Type and Graphics for the remainder of FY `95-`96.

REVIEWED BY: DEPARTMENT HEAD: V , Terrence L. Belan Fr shed ik lson City Manager Assistant City Manager Community Relations Officer CITY COUNCIL REPORT AGENDA NO. MEETING DATE: April 16, 1996 TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: Extension of contract for vendor services. ISSUE STATEMENT: Under the purchasing guidelines, blanket purchase orders (or any combination thereof), that are awarded to a single vendor shall not exceed $10,000 without prior authorization from the City Council. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve an additional $5,000 for vendor services performed by Highpoiht Type and Graphics for the remainder of FY `95-96. FINANCIAL SUMMARY: The current FY '95-'96 Community Relations/Economic Development budgets provide for an additional $5,000 to be allocated to this vendor. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Due to the amount of projects that have been produced this fiscal year, along with those projects that are anticipated to be conducted over the next two months, the City would exceed the standard $10,000 amount authorized. Thus, to complete additional scheduled projects (as well as any not yet anticipated), it is necessary to increase the total amount. This particular vendor (Highpoint Type and Graphics) provides the City with digital pre -press, color output, and digital design services for a variety of projects that eventually require printing or other special provisions. All City departments have utilized the services of this vendor (indirectly) for some type of project that has been completed this year, at one time or another. Some examples of the types of projects and specific related services include: • Community Newsletter and Recreation Guide (black and white photo scanning, photo placement, film output forprinting, etc.) • City Marketing Display (high-resolution color photo scanning, large -color output, laminating, etc.) • City's World Wide Web page on the Internet (Design, conversion, and formatting services) • Miscellaneous economic development marketing projects: Marketing packets, handouts, Site Selection Portfolio, promotional items, etc. (film output, color separations, etc.) a Miscellaneous City operating materials: Business cards, stationary, informational material, etc. (film output) Each year, a request for quotation is sent to qualified vendors who perform the type of services listed above. The selection of a vendor is made for the entire fiscal year, based on price, expertise, and quality of service. The vendors are also asked if they will be able to "hold" their prices on the requested services for the entire. fiscal year (most usually can). Over the last two fiscal years (FY `94-'95 and `95-'96), Highpoint Type and Graphics has remained the lowest bidder in the competitive bidding process, based on the type of services used most by the City. Additionally, this vendor has been very responsive and has provided exceptional service to the City. With approximately two months left in this fiscal year, continuing our relationship with Highpoint Type and Graphics would, in the staff's opinion, be both cost effective and beneficial to meet the City's anticipated needs.

RECITALS (i) The Sales and Use Tax Law and the Bradley -Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law impose state and local taxes, respectively, on the gross receipts from the sale, storage, use, or other consumption in this state of tangible personal property; and (ii) Senate Bill 1977 (SB 1977) has been introduced by Senator Richard Mountjoy for consideration by the California State Legislature; and (iii) SB 1977 would amend current tax law by decreasing the basic state tax rate from 43/% to 33/% and increasing the current allocation of sales tax revenue distribution for cities from 11% to 2%; and (iv) Passage of SB 1977 would help replace the revenues lost by cities to the State of California in recent years due to shifts in property tax revenues.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 1998, as amended, Mountjoy. County free libraries. Existing law permits the governing body of a city or library district to withdraw from the county free library system. Existing law requires the county to agree to a property tax agreement in order for the city or library district to withdraw. This bill, for Los Angeles County only, would require the eetftty—Los Angeles County to transfer back to the city or library jurisdiction that is withdrawing from the eery—Los Angeles County free library system, that portion of the property tax proceeds attributable to properties located within the city or library district and specified surrounding jurisdictions being used for eewtty—Los Angeles County free library purposes. The bill would also require that the personal and real property used for eeunty—Los Angeles County free library purposes within the withdrawing city or library jurisdiction be transferred to the city or library district upon their request and upon agreement wM the ee as specified. To the extent the bill would thereby impose new 98 SB 1998 —2— duties 2— duties upon eeunie�--Los Angeles County, those duties would be a state -mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement, including the creation of a State Mandates Claims Fund to pay the costs of mandates that do not exceed $1,000,000 statewide and other procedures for claims whose statewide costs exceed $1,000,000. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State -mandated local program: yes. The people of the State of California do enact as follows: I SECTION 1.

This determination shall be adopted by each 31 affected jurisdiction by resolution. For the purpose of 32 negotiation, the county auditor shall furnish the parties 33 and the county board of education with an estimate of the 34 property tax revenue subject to negotiation. 35 (2) In the event that the affected jurisdictions are 36 unable to agree, within 60 days after the effective date of 37 the jurisdictional change, and if all the jurisdictions are 38 wholly within one county, the county board of education 39 shall, by resolution, determine the amount of property tax 40 revenue to be exchanged. If the jurisdictions are in more 98 SB 1998 —18- 1 than one county, the State Board of Education shall, by 2 resolution, within 60 days after the effective date of the 3 jurisdictional change, determine the amount of property 4 tax to be exchanged. 5 (3) Upon adoption of any resolution pursuant to this 6 subdivision, the adopting jurisdictions or State Board of 7 Education shall notify the county auditor who shall make 8 the appropriate adjustments as provided in subdivision 9 (a). 10 (i) For purposes of subdivision (h), the annexation by 11 a community college district of territory within a. county 12 not previously served by a community college district is 13 an alteration of service area.

In these 16 negotiations, there shall be taken into consideration the 17 amount of revenue received from the timber yield tax 18 and forest reserve receipts by the community college 19 district in the area not previously served. In no event shall 20 the property tax revenue to be exchanged exceed the 21 amount of property tax revenue collected prior to the 22 annexation for the purposes of paying tuition expenses of 23 residents enrolled in the community college district, 24 adjusted each year by the percentage change in 25 population and the percentage change in the cost of 26 living, or per capita personal income, whichever is lower, 27 less the amount of revenue received by the community 28 college district in the annexed area from the timber yield 29 tax and forest reserve receipts. 30 0) At any time after a jurisdictional change is 31 effective, any of the local agencies party to the agreement 32 to exchange property tax revenue may renegotiate the 33 agreement with respect to the current fiscal year or 34 subsequent fiscal years, subject to approval by all local 35 agencies affected by the renegotiation. 36 37 19404.

This bill would revise the composition of the authority on and after July 1, 1998. Among other things, it would reduce from 13 to 9 the number of voting members, and would make related changes. 98 AB 2995 —2— The 2— The bill would change the required contents of the authority's ordinance regulating the making of gifts to members and employees of the authority, thereby imposing a state -mandated local program and would revise restrictions applicable to lobbyists having contact with the authority.
