Requested by: Community. Services Division 9.2 RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING PROPOSED LEGISLATION: (a) ' SB 72 (Kuehl) Stormwater Monitoring. This bill is similar to last year's AB 2492 (Kuehl), except that it does not require numeric outflow limits. The League opposed AB 2492 and it stalled in the Legislature. SB 72 would establish a statewide standard monitoring program for stormwater runoff and would prohibit so-called group monitoring. The League, CSAC, and the California Association of Sanitation Agencies oppose SB 72, unless it ,is amended to delete the requirement that municipalities comply with the new, standardized monitoring program. Large municipalities are already subject to individual monitoring ,programs tailored to community circumstances and smaller communities will soon be under similar requirements under Phase II of the.fed.eral.stormwater.regulations. Both the League.of California Cities and the Council Legislative Subcommittee recommend opposing SB 72. (b) AB 896 (Aroner) — Developmental Services: Unified Systema As proposed, this measure would combine both the state and community institutional networks into one unified developmental services system. AB 896 would also revise the financing and budgeting processes of California's developmental services system to include the creation of a state budget line item to be allocated to regional centers for specified purposes. A final element of AB 896 establishes a fund (the Lanterman Trust) which redirects monies generated from the sale or lease of existing state facilities to provide APRIL 17, 2001 PAGE 7 services and support:.. for members of the developmentally.. disabled community.

Sister city partnerships have the potential to carry out the n destpossible diversity of activities of any internationalprogram, including every type of municipal, business, professional, educational and cultural exchange or project. Sister city programs are also unique' in that they inherently involve the three main sectors in a community: local government, businesses, and a wide variety of citizen volunteers (and civil society or non- profit organizations).

The Executive Director heads the national headquarters in Washington, D.C. Sister Cities State Coordinators assist SCI staff and local programs at the state level. At the local level, the mayor serves as Honorary Chair to an active sister city committee made up of a wide variety of citizen volunteers, city officials, and corporate members. • SCI is a non-profit organization with a unique nationwide/worldwide network involving the governmental, business, and private voluntary sectors. SCI collaborates with the U.S. Conference of Mayors and many U.S. Government agencies and foreign embassies. Opportunities for sustainable economic and community development through Sister Cities are actively being promoted at the local and national level. • Spearheaded by the mayors of each city,1,200 U.S. communities are now paired with 2,100 partners in 127 nations around the globe. In 1955, St. Paul, Minnesota and Nagasaki, Japan became sister cities now there are 357 U.S. and Japan sister city partnerships. In 1986, there were only six sister city links between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, today „there are 169 U.S. UIS (former Soviet Union) partnerships. In 1995, SCI led mayoral delegations to South Africa and Indonesia and organized a bilateral U.S. China Sister Cities Conference to promote new sister city relationships and opportunities for community and economic development. • SCI assists sister city partnerships from the beginning including providing contacts and guidance, creating innovative grant opportunities for member cities, and energizing dormant programs by providing high-quality networking opportunities at state, regional, and international levels. SCI has administered a wide variety of grant programs over the years, covering a variety of themes, from technical assistance and small business development, to municipal training and youth exchange programs focused on community service. Through various publications and on-line services, SCI exchange, coo enation nues a forty -year tradition of leadership in the international g , p and community and economic development fields. • Sister city programs make an impact on communities worldwide. Over 100,000 people travel abroad under the Sister Cities umbrella, spending close to $60 million annually on travel and related expenses. Fort Worth (Texas) Sister Cities, for example, estimates that their programs bring in $2 million in trade and tourism to their city each year. Portland, Oregon and Sapporo, Japan have seen over 100 organizations link, including sister schools, YMCA, and civic clubs, as a result of their sister city relationship. The trust and community support these strong sister city ties have created has been an important factor in numerous Japanese companies deciding to locate in Portland, bringing needed investment and jobs to the area. Similarly, Cincinnati, Ohio and Karkhiv, Ukraine have a very strong partnership --currently, they are carrying out over 115 different projects, everything from economic development to an exchange of classical musicians. • In 1995, SCI led mayoral delegations to South Africa and Indonesia and organized a U.S. China Sister Cities Conference. In 1996, SCI led a successful Mayoral / Business Missions to India and Vietnam. In 1997, a mayoral delegation visited the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, and 1998 saw a mission to Brazil. SCI is also a prominent player in the implementation of goals of the Summit of the Americas. The U.S. African Sister Cities Conference is an important annual event in the SCI network. SCI grant projects include U.S. Germany and U.S. Japan internships for community leaders on volunteerism; the U.S. Russia Partnerships for Independent Newspapers program; projects that link schools through the Internet; and the U.S. Japan Trilateral Exchange Program. • No organization can match the diversity of exchanges, and projects of SCI network, including: forums for exploring trade opportunities (New Brunswick, New Jersey and Debrecen, Hungary) and the environmental sustainability of tourism (Aspen, Coloradoand Simukappu, Japan); development cooperation projects, from improving water quality (Amesbury; Massachusetts and Esabalu, Kenya) and reforestation (Palo Alto, California and Oaxaco, Mexico) to medical exchanges (Grand Forks, North Dakota and Ishim, Russia) and building schools (Charlotte, North Carolina and Arequipa, Peru); and exchanges of baseball teams and young classical musicians through Tacoma (Washington) Sister Cities. Tulsa, Oklahoma organizes an International Leadership Academy for youth each year. • Major trends in the world today, such as decentralization, the "globalization" of the economy, and the spread of telecommunication technologies have given individual communities a more prominent role in international affairs and put SCI at the forefront in helping to create new opportunities and a better quality of life for people in communities worldwide. • SCI, the world premier community network, can offer your city, business or citizen group contacts, cross-cultural expertise, exciting forums for discussing global issues and legitimacy Community-wide, private sector and governmental. The best place to catch the spirit of Sister Cities is at SCI's annual conference. Invaluable networking opportunities abound at SCI's annual conference, organized in partnership with the host city, which goes out of its way to show delegates a good time, including opening up the best cultural attractions. What Makes a Successful Program? What Do Sister Cities Do? What Makes a Successful Sister City Program? Sister city programs inherently involve a unique kind of partnership and involvement of the three main sectors that make for a vibrant, productive community, county or state: the local government, business and private voluntary sectors (a wide variety of civil society or non-profit organizations and individual citizen volunteers). Sister city programs --perhaps more, than any other international program --involve the widest possible diversity of exchanges and projects. Basically, anything that goes on in a community can become --and has, in one city or another -- the subject of a sister city project, including every type of municipal, business, professional, environmental, educational and cultural exchange: In the US, there is a great deal of diversity in how sister city programs are structured. Generally speaking, however, broad-based sister city committees made up of a wide -variety of Citi.Zens from the community make up the backbone of most sister city programs in the US, with city hall and local businesses in more of a support role. The primary historical and cultural reason for this is the unique tradition in the United States of volunteerism and the common suspicion on the part of many Americans (throughout US history) towards what is perceived as "big government. (It is often politically difficult for many local governments in the US to approve large budgets for international affairs.) In many countries (although in all countries there is a lot of diversity in structure from city to city), such as Russia, Japan, China, and the United Kingdom, programs like sister cities are managed more directly by d_* hall; by some type of international relations department. With the "city -hall driven" model, there are also direct ways for individual citizens (and businesses) to participate, such -as through an "International Friendship Committee." Key Elements of Success for a Great Sister City Program, Whether It Is of the More "Citizen Volunteer -Based" or "City -Hall Driven" Model: • Solid support and involvement from city hall: the mayor as honorary chair; a staff person designated at city hall to support the sister city program; direct involvement of various city departments in municipal, economic development, technical, public safety or other exchanges; various direct and in -direct (in-kind) support for sister city activities, such as assistance with administrative costs and receptions. • Solid support and involvement in the sister city program from the business sector, with an opportunity for both corporations and small businesses, as well as individual business people, to contribute their time and/or financial or in-kind support; the local Chamber of Commerce and other key organizations should be actively involved in the sister city program. • The best long-term indicator of success for a sister city program (since elected officials come and go) is a broad-based Sister City Committee, made up of many individual citizens who are enthusiastic supporters of the sister city program. Every effort should be made to recruit people from various professions, a youth delegate, people from different ethnic and religious groups, both women and men, and people with disabilities. Citizen volunteers in the US and abroad contribute an enormous "cost share" to the local program through their time and various out-of-pocket expenses, including annual individual and family membership fees, travelexpenses abroad and homestay and other hosting expenses at home. To maximize limited resources and the potential outreach and impact of the sister city program in the community, every effort should be made to form additional alliances within the overall sister city program, such as sister schools or twinned Rotary and Lion's clubs. It has been estimated that Portland, Oregon and Sapporo, Japan have over 100 of these types of twinning arrangements between their two cities. • It is essential to have excellent communication links, including reliable phone, fax and Internet communications, with back up fax and phone numbers when necessary. Fax machines should be kept on at night. Communication from a sister city should be responded to right away to maintain good relations. Even if a decision concerning a proposal has not been reached, a quick reply saying, for example, "thank you for your fax - we will respond to you after our meeting next month," should be sent, promptly acknowledging receipt of an important proposal or letter. • Sister City projects should be reciprocal and jointly planned, executed and evaluated. Also, there needs to be time, a few minutes of the end of each day, for example, built into actual exchanges for cross -culturally sensitive feedback to avoid serious "culture bumps." Formal time for cross-cultural discussion, to learn about more complex layers of culture, such as the changing role of women in society, child rearing methods or how decisions are actually made in local government or businesses, should be built into all exchanges and projects. • To maintain excellent, two-way communication and to keep the program active, it is important that cities meet at least every other year to develop a Memorandum of Understanding about what they plan for their partnership, including frank discussions about areas of interest, realities of budgets and other important details in carrying out proposed exchanges or projects. • There are a variety of low-cost exchanges that should occur every year, even if it is not possible to have a physical exchange of people: an annual "state of the city" letter between the two mayors; exchanges of the city annual reports and city plans by officials at city hall; exchanges of children's artwork, letters or sister school programs through the Internet; periodic exchanges of interesting newspaper articles that show how society, technology, the environment, etc. are changing in your city; cultural festivals, movies or speeches that celebrate the culture of the sister city (foreign students or business people from the nation of the sister city can be guest speakers). • It is essential to agree on regular, sustainable exchanges of people that will take place every year or, at the very least, every other year. There are many possibilities for this, including teacher and student exchanges, municipal internships for city officials in key fields, young business leader internships sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce (young professionals who are promising young business leaders but also distinguishing themselves in regard to community service and involvement), or participation at the largest annual festival in the sister city. • All relationships, like friendships, need to take a risk once in a while with a larger or more ambitious project; to stay fresh and to achieve their full potential. Such projects require a high degreeof planning, fund-raising, and time and effort, but they also can be a very positive, life -transforming experience for all involved. Examples of spectacular, large scale sister city projects include: "Shanghai Week in San Francisco, a week of top-level performing arts exhibitions and seminars on doing business in the US and China; a multi- year, broad-based reforestation project between Palo Alto, California and Oaxaca, Mexico, which involved extensive local government, media, volunteer and business involvement on both sides; and a "space bridge" event between San Diego and Vladivostok, Russia, just at the end of the cold war, a live town hall meeting through satellite television involving the mayors, local celebrities and entertainers and hundreds of citizens in both cities. What is the Difference Between a Sister City and a Friendship City? Around the world various terms are sometimes used to describe a long-term partnership between two communities: sister cities (United States, Mexico, etc.), twin cities (Russia, United Kingdom), partner cities (Germany - partfcerstadt), friendship cities (as with relations between Japanese and Chinese cities), or jum6lage (France) are common terms. Although "sister cities" is the commonly used term in the United States, some US cities have formed "friendship city" relations with cities abroad. Often, there is no difference in these terms. For example, a "friendship city" relationship might be more active than a "sister city" relationship. If there is a difference in meaning, it is that "friendship city," in the US, tends to refer to a partnership that not as extensive as a sister city relationship. SCI encourages US communities to use the term "sister city," the most commonly used term in the US. The most important thing is that these relationships should not be entered into with the intent to fully develop city hall, community and business support for the affiliation, keeping it active, with programs, over the long-term.

Therefore, the deputie may wish to concentrat eir efforts in the southerly porti of the City. VI NEW BUSINESS: A. StandardizedPolicyRegarding Striping of City Streets AE/Ilasin presented staff's report. Staff recommends that the Traffic and Transportation Commission review the information, provide input to staff, and direct staff as necessary. C/Istik commented that the City's centerline striping guidelines for residential streets which discusses a category of observed speeds of 25 mph or greater. ` Most residential streets in the City are prima fascia 25 rnph and he believes it would be good to put in striping at the 25 mph limit. The policy may lead the City to two solid/double yellow, lines such as are seen on Laguna Canyon Road and State Highway 133. There may be solid double yellow where there are horizontal curves and vertical curves which applies to nearly every residential street in the City. He believes it would make sense to have solid double yellow lines if there has been a number of accidents or some other safety problem. When the City developed, the horizontal and vertical curve lengths were based upon the County's design manual for residential streets. He referred to the 1991 CalTrans manual which reads: "Centerlines should be used on paved highways or portions thereof under the following conditions: in rural areas on two lane pavements 16 feet or greater in width with speed zones of 35mph or more; in business or residential districts on through highways where there are significant traffic volumes; on all undivided pavements of four lanes or more; and other locations where an engineering study indicates a need for them" which would apply to Diamond Bar. He would favor a centerline striping guideline that had less of a criteria for striping than the CalTrans manual. VC/Virginkar said he fully endorses the social impact of centerline striping. However, he believes the City should consider using a single broken yellow strip on residential streets as a feature. Ninety-nine percent of residential streets are two-lane streets with parked cars and are not appropriate for passing. Depending on the horizontal and vertical curves, a single broken yellow centerline stripe will serve to channelize the vehicular traffic. For example, Forest Canyon Drive near Paul C. Grow Park between Meadowglen Road and Highbluff Drive, contains a downward slope and turn. In his opinion, that area would be a perfect candidate for a limited - F77. is t. OCTOBER 12 2000 PAGE 4 T&T COMMISSION single broken yellow striping at the curve and it would deter drivers from crossing the center line. Chair/Morris felt that in residential areas striping should be avoided whenever possible. On some streets where vehicular parking occurs a centerline stripe is .useless because drivers must cross the center line to avoid the parked car. However, there are a number of streets that do meet the criteria for some type of, division. He would like to see reverse botts dots or some other type of unobtrusive marking for center line markings where safety issues are involved such as curved areas, etc. He strongly urged Commissioners and staff members to attend the Traffic Engineer'''s workshops on neighborhood traffic problems at CalPoly on November 4, 2000. VC/Virginkar said it would be helpful for staff to identify the types of streets that might benefit from striping. He commented to Chair/Morris that he believes that the single yellow broken line would not be obtrusive and would likely be a less expensive solution. Chair/Morris said he does not disagree with VC/Virginkar, however, what is obtrusive is in the eye of the beholder. Some residents have very strong feelings about yellow lines on residential streets. C/Istik suggested that if a resident requests a yellow center line that it would be a good idea that the stripe be the skip yellow line which he believes would be appropriate for a residentialstreet if a stripe is needed. Chair/Morris pointed out that if the City installs a yellow line and a motorist is forced to cross over the yellow line to avoid a parked vehicle/motor home, or is forced to stay within the line, it may create an even greater problem. He favors minimizing striping in residential areas and the City needs to look at alternatives prior to deciding to stripe a street. Alternatively, striping is the easiest and least expensive to define a roadway center in an area where safety is a concern. VC/Virginkar suggested that staff obtain an opinion from the City's Attorney with respect to liability for a single broken yellow line versus a solid yellow line. DPW/Liu responded that state criteria is'very clear with respect to broken line. Broken lines are permissive in character. His concern is that broken yellow lines work only for channelization. If a careless driver decides to pass and an accident occurs one of his arguments could be that it was a broken line, it was meant for passing, and that is what he did. He recommended caution in proceeding to consider this option in making certain that the general public is protected. The next best thing to broken yellow lines may be no lines. Chair/Morris suggested that the Commission and Council consider a policy such as "Unless there is a safety related issue, striping in residential areas (25 mph prima fascia) should be avoided s OCTOBER 12 2000 PAGE 5 T&T COMMISSION except in cases of safety driven or traffic flow concerns." Commissioner Kung concurred. Commissioner Istik"concurred. DPW/Liu suggested that safety concerns ought to be established by a scientific traffic engineering study. Typically, the City is extremely cautious in its approach to establishing this type of mitigation. He suggested that staff prepare a draft policy statement for the Commission's consideration at its November 9 meet'' g. VII STATUS OF PREVIOUSACTION I MS: None VIII ITEMS FROM COMMISSIONS C/Kung said he counted about cars parked on the east side of B a Canyon Road near the Metrolink Station on Tuesday morning.

PUBLIC HEARING: 7.1 (a)SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE' NO. 0X(2001) AMENDING DIVISIONS 1 AND 2 OF CHAPTER 12.00 OF TITLE 12 OF THE DIAMOND BAR MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO PARK RULES AND REGULATIONS (COMMERCIAL TENNIS INSTRUCTION) - The first reading of this ordinance was unanimously approved by Council at its March 6, 2001 meeting. The ordinance was developed when, at its meeting on December 19, 2000, Council directed staff to: 1) develop an ordinance to strengthen the prohibition of unauthorized tennis instructors who use the tennis courts in the public parks for their private financial gain; and 2) develop a method to regulate private tennis instructors who desire to teach lessons at the City's courts. Staff worked with the Sheriff's Department and the Parks and Recreation Commission to develop an ordinance that contains the following elements: (1) Prohibits professional tennis instruction at the City's tennis courts without a permit; (2) Increases the penalty for violating the ordinance from an infraction to a misdemeanor; and (3) Establishes a Commercial Tennis Instruction Policy. (b) PUBLIC HEARING - RESOLUTION NO 2001 -XX: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR ADOPTING THE COMMERCIAL TENNIS: INSTRUCTION POLICY - If Ordinance No. 01(2001) in item A regarding Commercial Tennis instruction is adopted, then this resolution establishing the details of the policy for Commercial Tennis instruction, must be iconsidered during a Public Hearing. The policy proposed by staff and the Parks & Recreation Commission includes the following elements: (a) establishment of an hourly fee for corrt use of $15; $25 per hour with lights; (b) requiring deposit of $100 per court reserved;'(c) use of only one court per park per day for Commerc;al Tennis Instruction; (d) limiting be al owed 6:00 court s that commercial Tennis Instruction will p.mto 10 OO p.m. Monday through Friday nor all APRIL 3, 2001 PAGE 5 day on Saturday or Sunday; (e) requiring $1,000,000 liability insurance coverage from the instructor to protect the City; (f) allowing the City to cancel approved reservations with 24 hours notice in order to accommodate City needs; (g) limiting reservations to three months advance booking; (h) requiring ten day advance notice for public posting of reserved use. This policy was designed to allow private tennis instructors the use of public tennis courts for instruction while also preserving the court time necessary for the public to drop in and play tennis. M/Huff opened the Public Hearing. Paul Moravek, 2849 Wagon Train Ln., said that as a D.B. taxpayer, he failed to see how he loses his right to use a court for purposes he deems fit; that is, to invite instruction for his daughters as described in Section B, 7.1 of the proposed language. CSD/Rose responded that time limitations for commercial instruction is intended to leave prime time for the tennis playing public. Tommy Lu, 2898 Vista Ct., expressed opposition to the ordinance. He and his friends receive tennis instruction at Maple Hill Park. Public courts are for the residents and :the use thereof shouldnot be restricted. Charles Lin, 20839 E. Cilffside Ln., opposed the proposed ordinance.. Residents should be encouraged, not discouraged, to use the tennis courts. The City should be encouraged to build more courts and offer them for public use to the extent possible. Tom Liu, Vice President, D.B. Chinese Association, explained how this ordinance discriminates against residents and prevents them from enjoying tennis. In addition, residents who wish to take private lessons will face 'criminal charges. He asked the City to reconsider the ordinance. James Lin, 1477 Cliffbranch, supported previous speakers in opposition to this contradictory ordinance. David Tabata, 22524 Ridgeline Rd., stated that if this ordinance passes, it would make it cost prohibitive for most residents to receive private lessons. He asked the Council to please listen to the tennis playing families who are represented at tonight's meeting. He requested that Council not pass this ordinance. Robert Chou, 20845 High Country Dr. spoke against the proposed ordinance. He asked to be placed on the City's mailing list on all APRIL 3, 2001 PAGE.6 future matters concerning tennis courts and park use. Since the elimination of the six -ball rule, the public was not informed about' meetings regarding this proposed ordinance. Passage of this ordinancewill place a burden on the City to enforce the rules. He proposed the following for commercial teaching: 1) all tennis court play should be on a first-come/first-served basis and teaching permits should be issued only to D.B. residents with a $300 or more permit fee to cover the usage and insurance requirement. No other rules and no reservations: Peter Cheng, 1619 Cypress Grove, said that tennis play could be dangerous unless individuals receive proper instruction. Please do not pass an ordinance that will cost residents more money and legal concerns. Simon Shum, 2483 Pointer Dr., stated that the City should be concerned about penalizing everyone to punish one group, which he believed was non -democratic. Jeff Hull, Parks & Recreation Commission, stated that during public comments, speakers asked for the removal of the six -ball rule. He favored the proposed ,policy of making certain that instructors obtain permits to teach on public tennis courts. D.B. has only eight tennis courts. If illegal instruction is permitted to continue problems will continue. He felt it was unfair to the citizens for the City to provide public courts to individuals who use them for 'financial gain without remuneration. AYSO, provides the City with $1,000,000 liability coverage. He did not believe it would be harmful to individuals who want to make an income to provide comparable liability coverage. He asked Council to pass the ordinance. Joseph Chang, 2846 Eaglecrest PI., expressed confusion about what is legal and what is illegal. If the City has insurance, why does it need double coverage? Sue Sisk's children play soccer, baseball and softball, and she has provided instruction for her childreninthese sports, which occur on city property. Walnut opens its high school gymnasium to individuals on weekends. DB.H.S. has tennis courts. Jeff Koontz agreed with Mrs. Sisk and believed that the matter needs clarification. All residents pay for public facilities and there is a need for restricting commercial use of tennis courts, which are public facilities. Felix Chen, 1537 Diamond Ct., felt that the ordinance was unnecessary and should be considered from the kids and parents' APRIL 3, 2001 PAGE 7 point of -view instead of being concerned about a few people making money from giving tennis lessons. However, if the Council is inclined to do something, it should require all tennis instructors to obtain a regular business license and ask students to sign a waiver so that the instructor can avoid providing liability insurance. The only restriction should be that only D.B. residents could receive instruction on city - owned courts. Larry Rhodes suggested that this issue be tabled and come back with an ordinance that says that anyone -who is a qualified instructor pay a $50 fee to the City each 'six months and allow them one court a night. People who want to learn to play tennis should be allowed to do so. There being no further testimony offered, M/Huff closed the Public Hearing. M/Huff referred to a petition from a tennis team opposing the rules set forth in the proposed ordinance. He expressed concern that residents were not notified who had strongly voiced their concerns during consideration of the six -ball rule. M/Huff moved, C/Ansari seconded, to table the matter and send it back to the Parks & Recreation Commission for further review and evaluation. C/Ansari recommended the appointment of a citizen committee to work with the Parks & Recreation Commission: C/O'Connor expressed concern about the lack of notification to residents who had been involved in the six -ball rule discussion. Following discussion, the motion was carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Ansari, Chang, O'Connor, MPT/ Herrera, M/Huff NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None M/Huff asked staff to take note of tonight's speakers and notify them about future meetings addressing the matter. In addition, any other residentr who did not speak but wishes to be notified should provide their name and address to the City Clerk. APRIL 3, 2001 NN 9. PAGE 8 OLD BUSINESS: 8.1 AREA "D" JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT FOR INTER -AGENCY COOPERATION FOR DISASTER PREPAREDNESS - As 'a result of the Oakland East Bay Hills Fire in 1995, the State adopted the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) requiring all local governments within a county geographic area to be organized into a single Operational Area. The L.A. County Board of Supervisors established the L.A. County Operational Area on July 5, 1995 to accomplish the objectives of SEMS by promoting greater efficiencies in disaster management, planning, training and preparedness. The proposed amended Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) is a revision of an existing agreement between L.A. County and Area D cities, which originated in 1958. Since 1958, several modifications in disaster` management have been identified and adopted by the L.A. County Offices of Emergency Management. The proposed JPA incorporated these changes. C/Ansari moved, MPT/Herrera seconded, to adopt the revised JPA to include the use of SEMS (Standardized Emergency Management System), which became law in 1995 and recognizes the L.A. County Operational Area as the lead agency for disaster management; and directed staff to send a letter to Area D strongly suggesting rotation of the members of the Executive Board. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Ansari, Chang, O'Connor, MPT/ Herrera, M/Huff a NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None NEW BUSINESS: 9.1 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS PROPOSED DUES ASSESSMENT - The City is a member of the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). SCAG is the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for six counties: L. A., Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura, and Imperial. The region encompasses an area of approximately 38,000 sq. mi. with a populationof 15 million. As the MPO, SCAG is responsible for preparation and implementation of regional plans for air quality, growth management, hazardous waste °management, and transportation planning. SCAG also serves as the regional agency for intergovernmental review of programs for financial assistance and certain development activities, review of specified environmental impact reports, preparation of regional housing needs and waste treatment plans. The City has contributed member dues in the amount of $2,727 since 1991. SCAG is now seeking a dues increase in the amount of $1,480 (Total proposed dues are $4,207) effective July 1, 2001. In addition, SCAG proposes an annual consumer price index adjustment increase effective July 1, 2002. APRIL 3, 2001 PAGE 9 Following discussion, MPT/Herrera moved, C/Chang seconded, to accept staff's recommendation and approve the'inGrease and direct staff to send a letter of support for the increase and express the Council's serious concern about the automatic yearly cost of living (CPI) increase. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Ansari, Chang, O'Connor, MPT/ Herrera NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS -M/Huff ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None 9.2 RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING PROPOSED LEGISLATION: SB 116 (Kuehl) — Department of Parks and Recreation: roads: construction and improvements. This measure may have a dramatic impact on the desire to build a road through the City's Sphere of Influence — S13 116 would require that roads that "substantially increase vehicular traffic'capacity" could not be built through state parks unless either of the following conditions are met: (1) The Department'of Parks determines that the road has been planned to minimize harm to the property and further determines that the road is necessary to operate the park or is necessary to prevent or suppress fire, or is necessary for the construction of maintenance of utilities; (2) The Secretary of Business, Transportation and Housing and the I Secretary of the Resources Agency jointly determine that the road would not likely jeopardize the current uses of the park, that the road includes all feasible planning to minimize harm to the property and that theconstruction impacts will be mitigated. AB 227 (Longville) — Transportation Funding. The Lea4ue of California Cities recommends subport. AB 227 would statutorily and permanently shift the sales tax on gas from the State General Fund to the Transportation Investment Fund created by AB 2928 (Chapter 91, Statutes' of 2000) for transportation purposes. This. amount would be divided as follows: 1) 40% to the STIP; 2) 40% to Local Streets and Roads and 3)'20% to transit (PTA). The League and the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) have been advocating for additional monies for city street and county road ,maintenance and rehabilitation for several years. The backlog is $11 billion and growing by $400 million annually. This does not include an additional backlog of $14 billion for capital and safety improvements needed on the local system. S13 910 (Dunn) — General Plans. Housing Elements The League of California Cities recommends opposition. This bill requires a court that finds a local government's housing element not in substantial compliance with the state law governing housing elements, to award the plaintiff reasonable attorneys' fees and costs and to levy a penalty not to exceed $1,000 per unit of the total projected housing needs for the jurisdiction. The legislation further provides that in any action filed on or after January 1, 2002, APRIL 3, 2001 PAGE 10 challenging the viability of -a housing ¢element, there shall be a rebuttable presumption of non validity of the housing element or amendment if the Department of Housing and Community Development has found that the element or amendment does not substantially comply with state law. SB 910 also includes language stating the Legislature's intent to withhold state funding from any city, county, or city and county that does not have a housing element in substantial compliance with state law, and to redistribute the withheld funds to those jurisdictions that are in compliance. Jeff Koontz requested clarification. - Moved by C/Ansari, seconded by C/Chang to approve the recommendations of the Legislative Committee.

The study addresses the first step of the information required by the Integrated Waste Management Board (Board). The Board now requires jurisdictions completing new base years to document implementation of potential recycling programs at audited firms. To ensure consistency and continuity, staff recommends Huls Environmental to prepare the necessary follow-up implementation to warrant Board approval of the new base year. In addition, the City's documented diversion rate is 38.8% in 2000; this falls short of the mandated 50% diversion. This likewise requires that the City apply for a time extension of two years to allow its new programming to take effect. Huls Environmental will prepare the application under the requirements of.SB 1066. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council (a) allocate $19,525 from unappropriated Integrated Waste Management Fund and (b) approve and authorize the Mayor to execute the Contract Amendment with Huls Environmental in an amount not -to -exceed $19,525 to complete the implementation phase of the waste generation study and prepare the SB 1066 time extension application.

VIN rector of Public Works MEETING DATE TO: FROM SUBJECT: Background CITY OF DIAMOND BAR STAFF REPORT April 17, 2001 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council James DeStefano, interim City Manager Augmentation of Contracting Services Agreement with Huls Environmental Management, Since 1995, the City has contracted with Huls Environmental Management for consulting services addressing storm water, solid waste, recycling, waste prevention, and public outreach to achieve and maintain environmental compliance in an integrated fashion. The City's agreement with this firm was renewed on August 15, 2000. The existing agreement allows the City to extend and/or augment the contract as required; consequently, the City is prepared to augment the agreement to cover a number of activities not anticipated at the beginning of the fiscal year. Discussion On December 19, 2000, the City Council authorized Huls Environmental Management to prepare a new base year waste generation study in an attempt to solve 1) the continuing problem with the State Disposal Reporting System by identifying accurate waste generation data from a target year, and 2) improving the City's official diversion rate by accurately tallying the amount of diversion and disposal (i.e., waste generation) within the compliance year 2000. The result of the new base year is the diversion rate of 38.8%. This brings the City close to the target of 50% but does not surpass it. The completed study addresses the first step of the information required by the Integrated Waste Management Board. It is noted that, the Board now requires program implementation to accompany new base year studies. This is the reason that staff has proposed conducting follow-up implementation to the 33 generators found to require further technical assistance. This process involves one or more technicians conducting detailed site visits and analysis at waste generators for the purpose of identifying and assisting firms to implement diversion', programs. Diamond Bar requires all generators to divert readily recoverable materials or show cause why not. After these follow-ups, the City will be able to confirm that the generators' rates are appropriate for the level and type of service and that recycling programs exist or will be put in place at an accelerated schedule. Huls Environmental will complete the follow-ups by June 30, 2001. In' order to complete the AB 939 Annual Report by the August 1 2001 filing date, which includes by necessity the new base year waste generation study, staff recommends the contract amendment with. Huls. It is in the best interest of the city to amend the Agreement for the service in order to ensure consistency and continuity' with the services already being provided by Huls Environmental. It is believed that the audits/implementation coupled with the new residential programming will yield a diversion rate in 2001 or 2002 adequate to comply with AB 939. Staff Report to City Council, April 17, 2001 2 In the event that a jurisdiction finds that it is unable to achieve the mandate by January 1, 2000, it is required by law to submit an extension allowed under Sg 1066 to identify a new target year for compliance replete with justification. The Board has established a protocol for submitting time extensions. Huls Environmental will prepare and submit this time extension to 2002 for achieving the diversion mandate. Financial Summary Funds are available under the Integrated. Waste Management Fund to offset the costs of the proposed work. There is no impact upon the General fund as a result. Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council (a) 'allocate $19,525 from unappropriated Integrated Waste Management Fund and (b) approve and authorize the Mayor to execute the Contract Amendment with HulsEnvironmental in an amount not -to -exceed $19,525 to complete the implementation phase of the waste generation study and prepare the SB 1066 time extension application.

This money was budgeted from two different funding sources. $20,000.00 from Proposition C Funds, $10,000.00 each for the signal design for Diamond Bar Boulevard at Clear Creek Canyon Drive and Diamond Bar Boulevard at Silver Hawk Drive, and $10,000.00 from Gas Tax Funds for the signal design of Golden Springs Drive at Sylvan Glen Road. In the Fiscal Year 2000-2001 Mid -Year Budget Amendment, the funding source for the design of the two signals on Diamond Bar Boulevard was changed to Gas Tax Funds from Proposition C Funds.

On April 10, 2001, The City received authorization to use Proposition C Funds for the design of the two signals on Diamond Bar Boulevard. The funding source for the design of the two signals on Diamond Bar Boulevard should be changed back to Proposition C Funds, which will free '$20,000.00''in Gas Tax Funds. A total of $30,000.00 will be budgeted from Proposition C and Gas Tax funds for the` design of the Traffic Signal Improvement Project at the Intersections of Diamond Bar Boulevard at Clear Creek Canyon Drive, Diamond Bar Boulevard at Silver Hawk Drive and Golden Springs Drive at Sylvan Glen Road.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT MEETING DATE: April 17, 2001 TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: James DeStefano, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION OF DRAFT RECREATIONAL TRAILS AND BICYCLE ROUTE MASTER PLAN Issue'Statement The Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan will provide staff and the City Council with guidelines and proposed projectslprograms to be considered for the City-wide trails system. Recommendation Begin the review process of the draft Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan. Receive the presentation from staff and the lead consultant, Marlene Roth. Set May 1, 2001 as the date when the draft master plan will be formally reviewed by the City Council and considered for approval. Financial Summary There are no costs related to the approval of the Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan. Background The Circulation Element of the General Plan identifies the need for a master plan of bikeways as a part of the strategy to maximize the use of alternative transportation modes in Diamond Bar. The Parks Master Plan lists the need fora recreational trails master plan to meet the objective stated in the Resource Management Element to pursue the development of an integrated trails system to help meet the active and passive recreational needs of the community. The City Council started the process of developing a City-wide comprehensive trails master plan for both bikeways and recreational trails by awarding a contract for its completion to The Roth Group on January 4, 2000. For over the past year, The Roth Group has met with City staff and both the Parks & Recreation and Traffic & Transportation Commissions to develop the draft of what is now being called the Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan. Also, an extensive public input process has been used in the development of the Master Plan. Efforts included: 1. Information booth at the City Birthday Party in 2000. 2. Survey card mailed to every Diamond Bar householdin the March, 2000 issue of the "Windmill" (609 responses received): 3. Two public workshops conducted in February, 2001. 4. Seven joint public meetings held by the Parks & Recreation and Traffic & Transportation Commissions. 5. Two public meetings held by the Planning Commission. At a joint meeting between the two commissions on March 19, 2001, the draft Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan was unanimously recommended to the Planning Commission and to the City Council for approval. The draft Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan was then forwarded to the Planning Commission for its review. The draft plan was introduced at the Planning Commission's, March 27, 2001 meeting. The Planning Commission then formally reviewed and unanimously recommended its approval to the City Council at its April 10, 2001 meeting. Discussion The draft Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan is being introduced to the City Council at its April 17, 2001 meeting. Staff and the lead consultant from The Roth Group, Marlene Roth, will make a brief presentation on the document. This Master Plan serves as a feasibility and planning study, the purpose of which is four -fold: a . u 1. The plan acknowledges the active and passive role provided by trails and bicycle routes in providing: recreational opportunities to Diamond Bar's residents; alternatives to transportation dependent on private vehicles; and links to community facilities and the region. 2. It is informational in that it provides knowledge regarding the existing system and standards, which can be applied to evaluate both that system and future facilities. 3. It acknowledges present or future deficiencies in the existing system of trails and routes. 4. It recommends a program to provide a realistic system of recreational trails and bicycle routes for the City of Diamond Bar consistent with funding sourcesavailable for that effort: The following major elements are included in the draft Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan: 1. Introduction — Describes the purpose of the plan, the areas of study, and the content of the document; 2. Goals —Provides an overview of the goal process, as well as the identification of goals as related to both recreational trails and bicycle routes and those goals specifically applicable to either recreational trails or bicycle routes; 3. Existing Plans — Reviews elements of the City Diamond,Baes Circulation. element of the General Plan adopted bythe City Council on July 25, 1995 and the Parks Master Plan adopted by the City Council on March 17, 1998, as well as elements of the San Gabriel Valley Bikeway Master Plan (March 30, 1995), as related to both recreational trails and bicycle routes; 4. Recreational Trails Provides information on existing and proposed recreational trails — both' off-road and within existing' public rights-of-way, identifies routes and linkages, as well as provides information on development of appropriate trail heads, both with respect to location and facilities; 5. Bicycle Routes — Provides background information with respect to the classification standards and transit function of bicycle routes, as well as existing and proposed routes, linkages to other communities, and support facilities such as rest stops; 6. Cost Estimates — Provides basic cost information for both recreational trail development and the establishment and installation of bicycle routes throughout the City of Diamond Bar; 7.

INTRODUCTION City of Diamond Bar Bicycle routes and recreational trails provide important links within the community of Diamond Bar and to adjacent areas, as they relate to both transportation planning and recreational amenities. This importance has been recognized by including bicycle routes and equestrian and hiking trails in the City's Circulation Element of the General Plan (1995) and by including recreational trails and bicycle routes within the Parks Master Plan (1998). A complete list of the related background documents used in this process is contained in Appendix A. A. PURPOSE As a feasibility and planning study, the purpose of the Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan for the City of Diamond Bar is four -fold. • The plan acknowledges the active and passive role provided by trails and bicycle routes in providing: recreational opportunities to Diamond Bar's residents; alternatives to transportation dependent on private vehicles; and links to community facilities and the region. • It is informational in that it provides knowledge regarding the existing system and standards which can be applied to evaluate both that system and future facilities. • It acknowledges present or future deficiencies in the existing system of trails and routes. • It recommends a program to provide a realistic system of recreational trails and bicycle routes for the City of Diamond Bar consistent with funding sources available for that effort. Recreational trails and bicycle routes linking Diamond Bar to adjacent jurisdictions were also considered in planning the routes and proposed improvements within the City of Diamond Bar. B. CONTENT The report summarizes the research efforts, as well as the public outreach activities (see Appendix B), undertaken to develop the draft Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan for the City of Diamond Bar and provides specific recommendations regarding both recreational trails and bicycle Draft y'\ Vi•µ_., � f I 4�1 'Vas, ti,y�w �y P,w Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar The public participation process involved a questionnaire distributed in April 2000, the Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan booth at the April 9, 2000 birthday celebration, and two open houses which occurred on February 1St and 3`d, 2001. These activities and the information obtained are summarized in Appendix B. Identification of easements potentially providing opportunities for the implementation of proposed trails and potential future trails are identified in Appendix C. Draft 3 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar Ili. GOALS r A. Overview -: -A seriesof goals have -been developed for this -Plan. -These-are classified into three categories. The listing of the goals does not imply a priority or preference. As incorporated into the Plan, all have equal weight or value. However, not all goals are viewed by the public as having the same weight or value to the community (see Appendix B). B. Applicable to Both Recreational Trails and Bicycle Routes Develop a comprehensive plan providing routes that are equally -- accessible to all Diamond Bar residents. • Establish loop trail systems wherever feasible throughout the City. • The recreational trails and bicycle route system should, to the ' maximum extent feasible: Link existing and future parks; • Link existing and future schools; • Link community service elements; and • Allow interface with each other. ' The City's routes should link to adjacent systems to provide access to regional facilities. • Prioritize the development and/or completion of trails and routes that are already partially developed or informally used by the public. • The City's routes should be implemented to the maximum extent feasible, insuring appropriate dedication and improvement of rights-of-way, both in conjunction with the review and approval of adjacent developments and in the adoption of the City of Diamond Bar's Capital Improvement Program. Draft 4 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar • Joint use agreements should be sought with other public and quasi -public entities to facilitate expansion of the trails and routes where appropriate. • Retainflexibility too -respond to unique implementation opportunities consistent with the trails and routes identified, and desirable. C. Applicable Primarily To Bicycle Routes • Maximize commuter and recreational opportunities. • Develop a balanced ' " system providing alternative means of transportation where motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists can co -exist. • Provide linkages between residential areas and major activity centers (employment, recreation, shopping, education, and public transit routes). • Insure appropriate signage of all Class 1, 2, and 3 bike routes. • Upgrade proposed routes to the highest classification possible consistent with traffic safety guidelines. D. Applicable Primarily To Recreational Trails • Provide opportunities for a variety of walks, hikes, or cross-country runs of short, medium, and long distances and varying skill levels (degrees of difficulty). • Provide safe routes to all schools which serve the City of Diamond Bar. Draft 5 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar III. EXISTING PLANS ,E The City of Diamond Bar has adopted two plans which precede this Master Plan. These documents include the Circulation Element of the General Plan adopted -by the City Council on July 25;-1-995, which addresses bicycle routes, =' equestrian and hiking trails, and the Parks Master Plan adopted by the City Council on March 17, 1998, which addresses recreational trails, including bicycle routes. The General Plan of the City of Diamond, Bar was not amended by the adoption of the Parks Master Pian. Rather, the Parks Master Plan, as does this plan, serves as a guide to City staff, various commissions, and the City Council. Additionally, the County of Los Angeles and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) have adopted a number of regional bicycle routes which serve the City of Diamond Bar. A. RECREATIONAL TRAILS Recreational trails within the City of Diamond Bar and links to regional trails were identified in the Parks Master Plan adopted in 1998. Many of these trails r� were "symbolically" noted on the Plan without regard to their actual routing. The trails identified on that Plan include the following: • S u m mitridge/Syca more Canyon, with a link to Leyland Drive; Perimeter of the County -owned Diamond Bar Golf Course; =w` Tonner Canyon; • Skyline Trail/Schabarum Trail; and • Larkstone Loop. The Circulation Element identified one equestrian and hiking trail - the Skyline r.� Trails Extension. This trail, although partially within the City limits, is part of a more extensive trail system owned and maintained by the County of Los Angeles. That trail is described as follows: "The Skyline Trails Extension, unofficially called the Schabarum r Trail, roughly parallels the City's southern and eastern boundaries with unincorporatedsections of Los Angeles and San Bernardino - Counties [sic., and now the City of Chino Hills], as it winds through the hills from Brea Canyon Road to Grand Avenue. The train ,4 originates nates at Schabarum Park to the west, where it interconnects Draft6' Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar with the Skyline Trail. The Skyline Trail, in turn, interconnects with a vast system of equestrian trails to the north and west spreading', throughout most of Los Angeles County. To the`east of Schabarum Park, the trail traverses Rowland Heights, then exits under Brea Canyon Road'and the Orange Freeway where it approaches the southern City limits of Diamond Bar to the east of Brea Canyon Road. The trail then travels' near the edge of the Win. Firestone Boy Scout Reservation, nearthe northern slopes of Tonner Canyon. As the trail turns northeast, it roughly follows the City boundary just inside of the City limits, The trail turns east and follows the City boundaryjust outside'the City limits, and again turning northerly, portions 'of Ithe trail are within and portions are outside the City. The trail termend inats at Grand:: where the 0 Summit Ridge Park Connector Trail will allow access to Summit Ridge Park to the north of Grand Avenue withinDiamondl Bar: t There are, a Iso a series of three the he County has planned nned to connect with Skyline Trails Extension Trail. These w three trails, collectively known as the Skyline Trails Connec all Ile outside of the City of Diamond Bar."' B. BICYCLE ROUTES ions, 0 The Circulation Element of the General Plan basically identified two bicycle routes within the City of Diamond Bar: • Diamond Bar Boulevard (Class Il) ,. • Golden Springs Drive (Class Ii southwest of Diamond Bar 01 Boulevard and Class III northeast of Diamond. Bar Boulevard) 0 4 The Circulation Element text identified, although ,not designated as a City route, a partially signed bikeway (Class III) along Brea Canyon Road between 4 Pathfinder Road and Golden Springs Drive. The current status of the City's marked routes is shown in Table 1. The Recreational Trails Exhibit in the Parks MasterPlan included suggestions for substantially more bicycle routes than contained in the Circulation Element. Notably, these included a number of Class III routes which were designed to provide linkages between Diamond Bar's neighborhoods, and routes along City arterials, including those identified in the Circulation Element. These routes also provided linkages to bicycle routes outside the City of Diamond Bar.

Draft 8 Recreafional Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar 01 MTA's San Gabriel Valley Bikeway Master Plan includes three routes that are partially within the City: P • Hacienda Heights/Diamon d Bar - a 28.2 mile route using Colima C") Road, Nogales Street, and Brea Canyon Cut-off (Tier 2 priority); • Diamond Bar/Glendora - an 11 mile route using Grand Avenue, 0 Badillo Street, and Glendora Avenue (Tier 2 priority); and • Nogales - a 7.8 mile route using Nogales Avenue and Pathfinder Road (Tier 3 priority). Tier 2 priority was given to projects which should be "considered" for "recommended" implementation,, as opposed to Tier 1 priorities wh,ich, are for implementation. Tier 3 priority was given to projects which are considered regionally significant, and would warrant consideration for funding ahead of non -included projects. Additional information on MTA's:routes is contained in Section V.A.B. 011 II 0 0 Draft Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar 1V RECREATIONAL TRAILS A. BACKGROUND Recreational trails provide opportunities for casual and active walking and hiking experiences, mountain (off-road) biking experiences, and provide linkages to regional trails adjacent to the City of Diamond Bar. For the purpose of this Master Plan, recreational trails have been divided into two types: • Urban walkways, which utilize developed sidewalks within public rights-of-way, to provide linkages to residential neighborhoods, schools, and parks, as well as interesting recreational walking opportunities for residents of the City seeking passive or aerobic exercise; and • Recreational trails, which are rustic in nature, typically not paved, 1 and are found in the City's parks and open -space areas and along government or utility -owned easements. Recreational trails are suitable for the use of hikers, casual Walkers, and, in some instances, mountain bicyclists and equestrians. B. ROUTES 1. Urban Walkways F; A series of eight urban walkways are proposed to be designated throughout the City of Diamond Bar. These walkways are generally described as follows: Diamond Bar Boulevard/Golden Springs Drive/Grand Avenue (Loop A) This loop, which utilizes a series of streets to form a one-way loop, is approximately 3.4 miles long. It links or provides access to the Diamond Bar Golf Course, Sycamore Canyon Park, the library, Lorbeer Middle School, Loops B, F, G, and the Summitridge Park :.4 Trail. • Diamond Bar Boulevard (Loop B) "-' This loop, which utilizes a single street, is approximately 3.5 miles Tong. It links or provides access to the library, the post office, and Draft 10 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route MasterPlan City of Diamond Bar Loop A. This loop is also within one or two blocks of Chaparral m Middle School and Quail Summit Elementary School.' • Brea Canyon Road (Loop C) 0, This loop, which also utilizes a single street, is approximately 2.9 010 miles long. It links or provides access to the future Larkstone Park and Trail, Diamond Bar High School and Loop H. • Gateway Center Drive (Loop D) This "figure 8" loop, which utilizes a series of streets, is approximately 2.3 miles long. It links or provides access to a " number of corporate offices, Diamond Bar City Hall, the South Coast Air Quality Management District, and the University of Phoenix. 0 • Lemon Avenue/Larkstone Drive (Loop E) This loop, which utilizes a, series of streets, is approximately 2.4 miles long. It links or provides access to Walnut Elementary School, the Walnut Valley Unified School District Office, South 0 Pointe Middle School, and the future Larkstone Park' and Trail 9 Sunset Crossing Road/Prospector Road/Diamond Bar Boulevard (Loop F) This loop is approximately 2.8 miles long ,and also utilizes a series of streets. It links or provides access to Little League Park, the YMCA, Armstrong Elementary School, and Loops A and G. • Golden Springs Drive/Sunset Crossing Road/Diamond Bar Boulevard (Loop G) This loop, which also utilizes a series of streets, is approximately 3.2 miles long. It links or provides access to Carlton Peterson Park, Diamond Point Elementary School, Golden Springs Elementary 0 School, and Loops A and F. • Pathfinder Road/Diamond Bar Boulevard/Brea Canyon Road (Loop H) Draft 11 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar This loops follows three major streets and connects Loop C, Heritage Park, Diamond Bar High School, and Castle Rock Elementary School along its approximate 3.6 mile length. The proposed walkways -are -shown- on -Figure l -- - - --- 2. Recreational Trails This plan identifies: five trails completely within the City of Diamond Bar; one trail partially within the City -Skyline (Schabarum) Trail; and one trail head which provides access to a trail outside the City limits (Tanner Canyon). The six trails completely or partially within the City are: Peterson Park Trail This trail is approximately 0.2 miles in length (round-trip). This trail is developed and provides benches at the view point at the top of the trail. Facilities are also provided within the park. The trail can be described as a moderate walk/hike. Pantera Park Trail This trail is proposed to be approximately 0.6 miles in length (round-trip). When fully developed, it is proposed to include two trail heads and one rest stop. Facilities are also provided within Pantera Park. The trail is very steep in parts and offers numerous view points. Sycamore Canyon Park Trail This trail is approximately 0.6 miles in length. It provides a pleasant, easy walk along the stream. Facilities are provided within Sycamore Canyon Park. The trail extends to the east gaining elevation until it reaches Diamond Bar Boulevard where it links to Summitridge Park Trail Summitridge Park Trail This trail is proposed to be approximately 1.4 miles in length. When fully developed, it would include two trail heads (at Summitridge Park and in the vicinity of Diamond Bar Boulevard and Steep Canyon Road) and one rest stop where the trail splits Draft }2 .+ �:��' �d � �..:.' ✓ 'yid � �f 4v✓ \ � '�y� �Ji !�/ � -. � �,,.� �. .. �\ `.i ...s � � ✓ i B' C ND BAR I AMERCE 7F' S ■ i RSES C• LES kirFl.

Facilities are also provided within Summitridge Park and across Diamond Bar Boulevard in Sycamore Canyon y Park. The trail is steep in parts and offers numerous view points. When combined with the Sycamore Canyon Park Trail it forms a trail approximately 2 miles in length. • Larkstone Park Trail This trail is proposed (in conjunction with a future park at this site) to be approximately 1.3 miles in length (loop). When fully developed, it is planned to include two trail heads. The trail would be steep in parts 'and 'would offer numerous view points. Skyline Trail (Schabarum Trail) This trail is intermittently located within the City. The trail is owned and maintained by the County of Los Angeles. (See Section IIIA for a more detailed description.) Recreational trails in the community are shown on Figure 2. C. LINKAGES Although many of the recreational trails and urban walkways are independent, many also provide connection to other facilities, for example: Sycamore Canyon Park Trail connects to Summitridge Park Trail and the Diamond Bar/Golden Springs/Grand Avenue urban walkway (Loop A); Peterson Park Trail connects to the Golden Springs/Sunset Crossing/Diamond Bar urban walkway (Loop G); and Larkstone Park Trail is proposed to connect to the Brea Canyon urban walkway (Loop C) and Lemon/Larkstone urban walkway (Loop E). The Skyline (Schabarum) Trail is shared with Chino Hills and unincorporated Los Angeles County (both in and outside of the City's sphere of influence). The ,4w Tonner Canyon Trail (outside the City limits, but partially in the City's sphere of influence) links to Chino Hills and Orange County (Brea). Pantera Park Trail provides opportunities to consider further extension of the trail to link with the ChinoHills Parkway trail near Diamond Ranch High School Draft 14 CITY OF DIAMOND BAR A B C :OMMERCE NGS ■ OURSES ij• NEI Q MILES ANOR F,S co --, G" I PANTERA PAI LOS ANGELE CO CHINO HIL GCJ NE (SICHADARUM) TRAIL - I j Alt IGUIM 2 79-ATIONA 'ING a p L= RA PAR LOS ANGELES co CHINO HILL . �. f% I . . % � - -- IaARUM) TRAIL Co..

TRAIL HEADS AND REST STOPS In conjunction with the identification of recreational trails and urban walkways, the need for public information, as well as public facilities, have been provided for in the form of rest stops and trail heads. Along the urban walkways, it is felt that in numerous instances shade structures and bus benches provided along the City's major arterials, can provide the rest stops for the urban walkways. Since these walkways are also adjacent to existing development, other alternatives exist to provide facilities such as - trash disposal, water, shade, and seating areas. Rest stops are also proposed as part of the City's bicycle route system and those rest stops would also serve the urban walkways which coincide with the bicycle routes. With respect to recreational trails, two types of facilities have been identified: rest stops and trail heads. Within the context of these two facilities which function somewhat differently, a list of proposed features for each type of facility in varying degrees (classes) has been identified (see Table 2). A number of specific types are recommended for each of the trails, the following facilities are proposed: • Summitridge Trail Two trail heads (Class C at Summitridge Park and at Diamond Bar Boulevard) and a Rest Stop (Class B) on the north loop in the trail. • Pantera Park Trail - Two trail heads, one at Pantera Park (Class C) and one at its northerly terminus (Class C), and one rest stop (Class B) at the trail summit (near the water tank). • Larkstone Park Trail (future) -Two trail heads (a Class B at the trail's easterly limit and a Class C at Brea Canyon Road), to be developed when the property becomes available. • Tonner Canyon Trail - A Class A trail head in the vicinity of the terminus of Crooked Creek Drive or Running Branch Road. Prototypical schematic plans for a Class B Trail Head and a Class B Rest Stop have been developed by Hirsch & Associates, Inc.

BACKGROUND City of Diamond Bar Due to the inclusion of bicycle routes in federal, state and county programs, and the use of bicycle transportation as a means of reducing smog (reducing motor vehicle dependence), a substantially more comprehensive and formalized body of information exists on this topic than does on urban and suburban recreational'trails. 1. Classification The bikeway design standards generally in use throughout California and Los Angeles County are those specified in the California Department of Transportation State Highway Design Manucl. Caltrans defines bikeways as all facilities that provide primarily for bicycle travel. The term bikeway includes bicycle paths, bicycle lanes and bicycle routes. Caltrans classifies and defines these bikeways as follows: • Class I Bikeway (Bike Path) - A Oght-of-way completely separated from any street or highway for bicycle travel. • Class 11 Bikeway (Bike Lane) - A striped lane for one-way bike travel on a street or highway. • Class III Bikeway (Bike Route) - A travelway shared by bicycles and motor vehicles or pedestrian traffic, designated by signs only. 2. Standards Design standards, which address the space required by the cyclist, use characteristics, minimum widths, clearances, gradient, roadway curvature, design speed, parking, signing, striping treatments, surface, maintenance and drainage, and have safety as their goal. Caltrans design standards are applicable to all bicycle facilities constructed or reconstructed after July 1, 1993. Three levels of standards are identified. Draft • Mandatoly- Elements considered essential to achievement of overall design objectives. Mandatory standards utilize the word "shall". 20 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar • Advisory- Important, but allow greater flexibility to accommodate design constraints or to be compatible with loca conditions. Advisory standards utilize the word "should". • Permissive- Standards which are desirable, but not required for the attainment of the overall design. Permissive standards use the word "may". According to Caltrans who has as one of its goals to promote uniform practice on a statewide basis, design features or elements which deviate from the mandatory standards indicated in the State Highway Design Manual must be approved by the Chief, Office of Project Planning and Design, or by a local Caltrans Project Development Coordinator to which authority to grant approval has, been designated. Following is a summary of key design provisions indicated in the State Highway Design Manual. Mandatory standards are designated with an (M) after the title of the standard, advisory standards with an (A),, and permissive standards with a (P). The full text of the manual should be consulted in the design of a particular facility. These provisions indicate minimum standards and are summarized from Los Angeles Counfywide Bicycle Policy Document. Class 1&keways (Blke Paths) • Widths (M) - Two-way bike path minimum paved width is eight feet. Minimum paved width for one-way bike path is five feet. A minimum two -foot wide graded area shall be provided adjacent to the pavement, increasing f he requirement to fen feet for a two-way path and seven feet for a one-way path (fourteen feet for two one-way paths). • Clearance to Obstruction (M) - A minimum two -foot horizontal clearance to obstructions shall be provided adjacent to the pavement. The clearance width on structures between railings shall be not less than eight feet. The vertical clearance to obstructions across the clear width of the path shall be a minimum of eight feet. Signing and Striping (P) - A yellow centerline stripe may be used to separate opposing directions of travel. I Draft 21 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar y Intersections with Highways (P) - The most favorable intersection conditions should be selected. Where motor vehicle cross traffic and bicycle traffic is heavy, grade separations are desirable. When grade separations are not feasible, assignment of right-of- way by traffic signals should be considered. Stop or yield signs for bicyclists may suffice when traffic isnot heavy. When crossing an arterial street, the crossing should usually occur at the pedestrian my; crossing. • ' Separation Between Bike Paths and Highways (M) - Bike Paths immediately adjacent to streets and highways are not recommended. However, if °a bike path is installed closer than \ five feet from the travelway, a physical barrier must be installed m to prevent bicyclists from encroaching on the roadway. • Bike Paths in theMediansof Highways (P) - As a general rule, bike paths in the medians of highways are not recommended f because they require movements contrary to normal rules of the road. If such movements can be avoided or designed for, then the bike paths may be considered. • Design Speed (M) - The minimum design speed for bike paths T shall be 20 mph except on bike paths where downgrades exist that are longer than 500 feet with grades exceeding four percent (4%). For those facilities with long stepdowngrades, the minimum design speed shall be 30 mph. Installation of "speed `. humps" shall not be used. T` Grades (A) - The maximum grade rates should be five percent (5%). Steeper grades can be tolerated for segments up to 500 feet in length. Sustained grades should be limited to two percent (2%). (Note: grade standards are provided for Class I routes only). s Structural Section '(A) - The structural section of a bike path should be designed in the same manner as a highway. Principal loads will normally be from maintenance and emergency vehicles. A minimum pavement thickness of two inches (2") of asphalt concrete is recommended. Increased pavement life can be gained by increasing the asphalt content. • Drainage (A) - To ensure proper drainage, the surface of a bike 4, path should have a cross slope of two percent (27o). Sloping in . Draft 22 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan Cityof Diamond Bar C one direction is the preferred practice, Bike paths constructed C`,, on the side of a hill may require a drainage ditch on the uphill C side. 1111 Barrier Posts, (A) - When barrier posts are determined to be 0 necessary to prevent motor vehicles from entering, care should 0 be taken to assure that the barriers are highly visible and well r1171111 marked for day and night visibility. 0 • Other- The State Highway Design Manual also contains other standards, such as: Horizontal Alignment and Superelevation' Stopping Distance y' -Length of Crest Vertical Curves Lateral Clearance on Horizontal Curves Class l/ Bikeways fflike Lanes]- Class II Bikeways, called bike lanes, shall be one-way facilities. Two-way bike 0 lanes are not permitted. ('71) • Widths (M) - Bike lane width minimums vary depending on parking conditions and curb types. Where parking is allowed and parking spaces are marked, the bike lane shall be five feet (5') wide as measured from the edge of the striped parking stalls. When parking is permitted without parking stripes, the curb lane shall be a minimum of 11 feet (with rolled curb) and a minimum of 12 feet (with vertical curb). These dimensions allow for the parking and bike travel to occur within the minimum width.. Bike Q lanes shall not be placed between the parking, area and the curb. The most desirable condition for bike lanes is on streets where 4� parking is prohibited. The minimum_ bike: lane width is four feet !;" (with the one -foot gutter) or five feet (with a two -foot gutter). O Additional width for the bike lane is desirable. A typical motor vehicle lane next to a bike lane is 12 feet, but under favorable conditions, an 11 -foot lane maybe feasible. Bike lanes should be placed on the right-hand side of one-way streets to avoid forcing bicyclists and motorists to make crossing maneuvers when turning deft onto a two-way street.. Draft 23 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan ICity of Diamond Bar • Striping and Signing (M) - Raised barriers or raised pavement markings shall not be used to delineate bike lanes. Caltrans standards should be used to determine appropriate striping and signing for bikeways. • Intersection Design (A) - Since most auto/bicycle accidents occur at intersections, bikeway design at intersections should concentrate on minimizing motorist and bicyclist confusion. Bicycle sensitive detectors within a bike lane should be considered at actual signal - controlled intersections. Class N Bikeways fflike Routes) Class III Bikeways (bike routes) are intended to provide continuity to a bikeway system, including completing linkages and the provision of connections from neighborhoods to Class I or Class II bikeways. On these facilities, bicycles share space with motor vehicles on the streets. Whenever possible, bike routes should therefore be placed on streets in which the curb lane extends the minimum width provided for motor vehicles. Draft • On -Street Bike Route Criteria (A) - Bike routes should be signed only if some of the following apply: Designated routes will provide for through and direct travel in "bicycle -demand" corridors; The routes will connect discontinuous segments of bike lanes; Effort is made to adjust traffic control devices to give greater priority to bicyclists; Street parking has been removed or restricted in areas of critical width; Street imperfections or irregularities have been corrected; and Maintenance of the route will be at a higher standard than that of other comparable streets. 24 Recreational T I rails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar Sidewalk Bikeway Criteria (A) - The designated.use of sidewalks as a Bike Route is generally considered unsatisfactory. Restrictions for sidewalk use are provided in the State of California Vehicle Code. Access Barriers While not all Class I bikeways are designed to limit access to certain points (like freeway on -and -off ramps) where desired, they can be used. Los Angeles County has designed a baWier to control access to Class I bike paths. This design is included in the Department of Public Works Book of Standard Plans, available from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works. Landscaping Landscaping is considered an amenity. For this reason, only incidental or essential landscaping should be funded from bikeway construction funds. Separate funding, such as State Environmental Enhancement and Mitigations funds, or Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) Transportation Enhancement Activities (7A) programs, recreation and park funds, or other sources should be used for projects which incorporate large amounts of landscaping. Funding MTA requires that all projects constructed With Regional Bikeway funds be designed to Caltrans standards. Applicants should follow procedures indicated in the Caltrans Highway Design Manual for projects with design exceptions from mandatory standards. Agreement by the MTA to fund facilities containing documented design exceptions shall not be construed as an approval of such designs. Safety and Security Features These features include provision of milepost markers, destination signs, call boxes, illumination, and landscaping. However, separate standards exist for all of these features and should be followed when such features are included in a bikeway project. 3. Transit Function Bicycle routes provide an important role in transportation planning as bicycles Draft 25 The Long Range Plan is MTA's strategic plan to establish a -framework to guide the MTA in fulfilling its mission. The plan includes a series of recommendations related to transportation in Los Angeles County and sets forth major policy directions intended to guide the MTA in accomplishing its mission to construct and operate a safe, reliable, affordable and efficient transportation system. One of the key plan strategies covers non -motorized transportation, including pedestrian improvements and bikeways. MTA's current strategy is to focus its involvement in major interjurisdictional bikeway connections, bottlenecks and demonstrated bicycle commute corridors. The plan states that "Bicycle, pedestrians and other non -motorized modes are in many ways the cleanest and most cost-effective forms of travel Safe, attractive and convenient access to transit and non -motorized alternatives to auto travel are therefore an important part of the transportation system." (MTA, February, 1995) The importance of Diamond Bar's plans being coordinated with and complementary of MTA's plan relates primarily to funding opportunities and the fact that adjacent jurisdiction will likely also coordinate their plans with MTA's plans. This should result in a consistent approach to dealing with regional routes. MTA has adopted a San Gabriel Valley Bikeway Master Plan which includes three routes that are partially within the City: Draft 26 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar are increasingly viewed as a method to decrease motor vehicle travel, w thereby decreasing congestion and vehicle emissions (air pollution). Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Regional -- Transportation Plan includes a regional non -motorized transportation `_. program. That program contains strategies and actions supporting the development of a regional non -motorized transportation system. Their action program outlines (among other items) a regional and subregional planning process to develop a regional plan and subregional non -motorized plans for future incorporation into the RTP update. SCAG is developing a region -wide non -motorized transportation plan which covers all non -motorized transportation in Los Angeles County except bicycles. In Los Angeles County, SCAG will utilize the MTA subregional bicycle master plans for guidance ,a regarding bicycle planning. ;* MTA Long Range Plan The Long Range Plan is MTA's strategic plan to establish a -framework to guide the MTA in fulfilling its mission.

This should result in a consistent approach to dealing with regional routes. MTA has adopted a San Gabriel Valley Bikeway Master Plan which includes three routes that are partially within the City: Draft 26 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar • Hacienda Heights/Diamond Bar - a 28.2 mile route using Colima Road, Nogales Street, and Brea Canyon Cutoff; • Diamond Bar/Glendora - an 11 mile route using Grand Avenue, Badillo, Street, and Glendora Avenue; and • Nogales - a 7.8 mile route using Nogales Avenue and Pathfinder Road. Figure 5 contains an excerpt of that plan. Congestion Management Plan (CMP) In addition to transportation demand regulations, another element of the CMP program in Los Angeles County is the awarding of CMP credits to jurisdictions which implement specific transportation improvements. Credits are used by jurisdictions to offset debits incurred as a result of development activity. Bikeway projects are among the types of improvements which will be considered for credits. Bikeway projects must either have discretionary funding or be included in an MTA bicycle master plan to be eligible for CMP credits. Federal Policy The 1990 National Transportation Policy developed by the United States Department of Transportation states: It is the Federal transportation policy to: promote increased use of bicycling and encourage planners and engineers to accommodate bicycle and pedestrian needs in designing transportation facilities for urban and suburban areas" (DOT, 1990). The 1991 Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) legislation recognized the transportation value of bicycling and includes a number of features to assist in meeting the needs of bicyclists. TDM (Travel Demand Manogement) Ordinance - Requirements for Bicycle Facilities On March 16, 1993, the Diamond Bar City Council adopted Ordinance No. 01 (1993), related to Trip Reduction and Travel Demand Measures. Every municipality in Los Angeles County was required to adopt a TDM ordinance with minimum standards mandated by the Los Angeles County Congestion Management Program (CMP). Failure to adopt such an ordinance would make a municipality ineligible to receive certain types of funding as passed Draft 27 0 ZJ 01 0 0 07- 0 0 0 0 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar w FIGURE 5 EXCERPT SAN GABRIEL VALLEY BIKEWAY MASTER PLAN IN t;TPHL, 7. �.ukPL y COVINA '6AP u. a4.i, '• E �LlkS WERDE OR !, 1�- 1 � ,` •� ``,` s���,V� ..fes )N AVE 0 .)COUNTY 9, < '.HOLT AVE '-• V •4f EA100NA SrA • ROMU"IC .MQIV .0 rE , ,.: VGUOIA +.ISTON til t ST SW AN 10116 I ., J r 1•r... ,� ..i—•.-.

The Diamond Bar ordinance complies with the CMP standards for new non-residential development, by including the following standards: • New non-residential development of 25,000 square feet or more is required to have a bulletin board, display case or kiosk displaying transportation information, including bicycle route and facility information, regional/local bicycle maps and bicycle safety information and a listing of facilities available for bicyclists at the site; • New non-residential development of 50,000 or more square feet shall provide, in addition to information, as specified above, a bicycle rack (or other secure bicycle parking) to accommodate four bikes for the first 50,000 square feet and one bike per additional 50,000 square feet; and • New non-residential development of more than 100,000 square feet shall provide -safe, convenient access from the external circulation system to bicycle parking facilities on site, in addition to the information and secure bike parking specified above. B. ROUTES For purposes of analysis the routes are listed in alphabetical order by their proposed future classification. 1. Class I Routes Class I bicycle routes require a separate right-of-way for bicycle traffic, separated from motor vehicle traffic by a barrier which is a minimum of a two feet wide, 6" raised curb. Other barriers can also be utilized. These routes must be a minimum of five feet wide for one-way travel which requires two separate pathways, or eight feet wide for two-way travel. The City of Diamond Bar is presently constructing one Class I bikeway. • Brea Canyon Road- is designated by the County as a regional route and provides access to Heritage Park and Diamond Bar High School Upon completion of the Brea Canyon Road improvements from Pathfinder Road to the City boundary, approximately 1.4 miles southbound and 1.0 miles northbound of Class I route will exist.' A small segment of Class Ill route will exist approximately 150 feet north and south of Diamond Bar Boulevard, as that segment does not have sufficient width to provide for continuity of the Draft 29 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar Class I bikeway. All other segments of Brea Canyon Road between Pathfinder and the southerly City limits are proposed as a Class 11 bikeway. This segment totals approximately 1.7 miles. 2. Class II Routes Class II bikeways require a designated lane within the right-of-way for bicycle travel. This designated lane must match the flow of traffic and be a minimum of five feet in width. A number of Class ll bikeways exist within the City and additional Class II bikeways are identified as having future potential for this designation. • Brea Canyon Road- A Class 11 bikeway is proposed from the northerly City limit to Pathfinder, a distance of 1.2 miles. This is a regional route (as noted above and with respect to the portion of Brea Canyon Road designated as Class 1) and provides access to number of facilities, including the Metrolink Train Station, and the Golden Springs and Pathfinder routes. • Brea Canyon Cutoff- This route is also a community -wide route providing access to regional routes. The plan recommends, at interim basis, Class III signage be provided and that the route be upgraded to Class ll, when feasible. The length of this route is approximately 0.9 miles and it is part of MTA's designated Hacienda Heights/Diamond Bar route which totals 28.2 miles. Diamond BarBouievard- 1s currently designated a Class It route and much of the route has been improved with designated lanes ranging in width from 5 to 11 feet. This route provides links with regional facilities, as well as with neighborhood routes throughout the City of Diamond Bar and provides access to Sycamore Canyon Park and the proposed`Summitridge Park trail. It is recommended that the Class II improvements be completed, when feasible, from Grand to Quail Summit, from Gentle Springs to the Pomona Freeway (Route 60), and from Solitaire to the Cityboundary. This route is approximately 6.4 miles in length. • Go/den Springs Drive -This community -serving route, which is partially developed as a Class 11 bikeway, providing lanes that range from 5 to 14 feet in width. This route is approximately 5.4 miles long and links a number of regional routes to neighborhood routes throughout the City of Diamond Bar and also provides access to Carlton Peterson Park, Sycamore Canyon Park, the Diamond Bar Golf Course, and a number of elementary schools. It is recommended that, when feasible, this route be completed to Class 11 Draft 30 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar standards from the Pomona Freeway (Route 60) to Temple, adjacent to the Route 57 Freeway, and from Brea Canyon Road to Banning Way. • Grand Avenue -A portion of Grand Avenue is currently developed as a Class 111 route providing some signage identifying the bikeway. The plan proposes that Grand Avenue be upgraded to a Class 11 route, when feasible, and that it, as an interim measure, that the Class 111 posting be completed. Grand Avenue, approximately2.3 miles of which is within the City, serves as,a link to regional routes, as well as providing access to Summitridge Park. It also forms part of MIA's 1,1 -mile Diamond Bar/Glendora route. • Gateway Center Loop -This 1.9 -mile route, which is newly proposed by this plan, provides access to a number of commercial facilities, including Diamond Bar City Hall, and provides a number of views of the area. This loop contains two approximate one -mile segments forming an approximate two- mile figure-eight. It is recommended that this area be designated as a Class II bikeway by adding lane striping and signage as soon as feasible. • LycornmgStreet This approximate 0.5 mile route serves as a neighborhood route by providing links to regional routes and to Walnut Elementary School. Sufficient right-of-way is available to upgrade this route to Class 11. It is recommended that interim Class III signage be, provided as soon' as possible and that this route be upgraded to Class 11, when feasible.' • Lemon Avenue (North of Golden Springs) -This route also provides linkage to regional routes and to Walnut Elementary School, Walnut Unified School District Office, and the Del Paso High: School (just north of the City boundary). It is recommended that interim Class III signage be provided as soon as possible and that this route, which is approximately 0.4 miles in length, be upgraded to Class 11 when, feasible. • Pathfinder Road- This community -serving route, which is currently not designated, is recommended as'a Class Il route. It is part of MTA's 7.8 -mile Nogales route. It provides links to regional routes, as well as to Diamond Bar High School. It is recommended that this route, which is approximately 1.8 miles in length, have interim Class III signage installed as soon as possible and be upgraded to a Class 11 route, as soon as feasible. • Temple Avenue- This route, which is approximately 0.3 miles in length, links the Golden Springs and Diamond Bar routes to'the northern end of the City, with the Lanterman Developmental Center and Acute Care Hospital in Pomona. It is recommended that this route be improved to Class II Draft 31 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar designation between Diamond Bar Boulevard to Golden Springs to match their Class II designations. 3. Class III Routes These routes are designated on City maps and posted with signs identifying them as bicycle routes. No improvements are proposed. These routes primarily provide access within neighborhoods and from neighborhoods to regional routes. • Armitos P/ace This 1.5 mile route links the Golden Springs route (proposed Class II) to other neighborhood loops and was designated on the Parks Master Plan as a neighborhood route. This plan expands that recommendation to include Bowcreek Drive as a connection to the Pantera Loop and Pantera Park, and recommends that signage be provided. • Goldrush Drive- This connector, which was identified in the Parks Master Plan, provide a links to other routes and via an adjacent loop to Pantera Park. It .is recommended that signage be provided for its approximate 0.5 mile length. • Maple Hill/Birdseye Loop- This neighborhood route, of approximately 2.5 miles, links Chaparral Middle and Maple Hill Elementary Schools. It also provides access to Diamond Bar Boulevard and Maple Hill Park. It is recommended that the signage be provided designating these streets as a bicycle route. • Maple Hill/Kiowa Crest Loop - This loop provides an extension of the Birdseye Loop by adding approximately 0.9 miles, for a total of 3.4 miles. This plan recommends that signage be provided designating this as a bike route.. • Lemon/Willow Bud/Larkstone Loop - This is a neighborhood which links South Point Middle School to the Golden Springsroute and would provide access to future Larkstone Park and Larkstone Park Trail, once developed. It is recommended that signage be provided along this approximate 1.4 mile route. • Pantera/Leyland Loop- This route links to Pantera Park and to the future school site. It is recommended that Class III bicycle route signage be provided along its approximate 1.1 mile route. • Prospectors/Clearview Crest Loop- This approximate 1.6 mile route links the Draft 32 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar'` Sunset Crossing route (see below) to Armstrong ElementarySchool. It is C-1 recommended that signage be provided along this route'. • Summitridge/Longview Loop- This approximate 2.2 mile route links Grand V Avenue and Summitridge Park, via an adjacent loop, to Pantera Park. It is recommended that signage be provided designating; this as a Class III bikeway. a I • Sunset Crossing Road- This proposed 1.5 mile neighborhood route links` Diamond Point Elementary School and the Little League Park. It also connects to the Golden Springs and Diamond Bar (both Class II) 'routes. It is recommended that signage be provided. • Sylvan Glen Road- This neighborhood route of approximately 0.2 miles, links the Golden Springs (Class I I) route to Peterson Park. It is recommended that i signage be provided. • Quail Summit/Forest Canyon Loop- This proposed 1.6 mile bikeway will L� connect with Quail Summit Elementary School and the Class Il routes, and Grand Avenue and Diamond Bar Boulevard. This plan recommends expanding this route to a full loop by adding portions of Rolling Knoll Road C and Coyote Springs Drive, and providing signage along the entire route. The bicycle routes proposed by this plan are identified on Figure 6. These'C routes are also identified in summary fashion on Table 3. C. LINKAGES Diamond Bar's bicycle routes provide linkages to a regional system of bikeways designated by adjacent jurisdictions, Los Angeles County, and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority for both transportation and recreational purposes (see Figure 5). A number of linkages are of particular interest. • Grand Avenue, extending east through the City of Chino Hills, connects to Chino Hills Parkway which, taken southbound, connects to Carbon Canyon Road and other routes in San Bernardino County, taken northbound via Phillips Ranch Road, it connects to routes in the City of Pomona and into La Verne and Claremont. • Grand Avenue, extending to the northwest, links with routes in the Draft 33 INDBAR IMMERGE .S ■ JRSES 5 s Z-1 IVES WF_L.ES 0 CITY -OF DIAMOND BAR e.reation.al Trails and _ ...... • ____1..

A number of loops for recreational purposes can be created by linking routes entirely within the City of Diamond Bar, as well as adjacent regional routes. Three routes popular with bicycling enthusiasts are discussed below. • Grand Avenue east to Chino Hills Parkway, south to Carbon Canyon, southwest to Lambert, west to Brea Canyon, north to Grand Avenue forms an approximate 25 miles loop and can be ridden clockwise or counter -clockwise. • An approximate 9.5 mile loop can be created by using Diamond Bar Boulevard, Golden Springs Drive, and Brea Canyon Road. This loop can be extended to an approximate 15 mile route by utilizing Grand Avenue northbound to Valley Boulevard in the City of Industry, and then southwest on Valley to Brea Canyon Road, following Brea Canyon Road southerly, into the City of Diamond Bar. • A figure-eight loop of approximately 6.1 miles can be achieved by linking Diamond Bar Boulevard and Golden Springs Drive by Grand Avenue on the south, and Temple Avenue on the north. D. SUPPORT FACILITIES Rest stops are proposed to be provided along identified bicycle routes in the City of Diamond Bar and are shown on Figure 6. Many of these rest stops are provided at parks and community facilities along the designated routes which also provide services, including: Peterson Park, Sycamore Canyon Park, Summitridge Park, and Heritage Park. One rest stop is proposed (also serving the urban walkway which parallels the bicycle route) on Brea Canyon Road at Castle Rock Road (Type B). Draft 37 y Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar VI. COST ESTIMATES Cost estimates for the various components of each element of the plan have been developed. A. RECREATIONAL TRAILS Recreational trails cost estimates involve the improvements needed for both recreational routes (off public rights-of-way) and walking routes with public rights-of-way. 1. Cost Parameters A variety of cost components are involved in developing recreational trails and walking routes. Cost estimates, of some features are indicated on Table 4 (as provided by Hirsch & Associates, Inc.)... Other costs are specific to the project involved. 2. Conceptual Cost Estimates Development of the recreational trails system, as proposed, consists of two elements. The first is signing the urban walkways. Assuming asmall, at -grade mounted sign every 528 feet (0.1 mile), at a cost of approximately $25 (installed) per sign, the cost would be approximately $250 per mile of route. Since some loops involve different streets, the cost for those loops (Loops A, G, and F) would be $500 per mile, since signs would need to be provided' on both sides of the street. Loops B, C, D, and E, since they utilize only one.street have already accounted for the need for a sign on the alternate side of the street and would, therefore, be $250 per mile. A minimum of two informational' signs would be provided for each route at an estimated cost of $200 each (installed). This signage would be standardized indicating the mileage (0.1, 0.2 miles, etc.). Recreational trails costs include a number of factors, such as: the cost of the trail head and rest stop facilities (which are detailed on Table 5 by class of facility) and the nature of any other improvement work that may be required, such as: land acquisition, plan preparation, grading, installation of guard rails, etc. The cost for these improvements for the trails provided within the City, as T Draft 38 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar TABLE 4 C,11 Cost Estimates Trail Head / Rest Stop Components 0 Cost Range Per Item Features Options Minimum Maximum Wrought Iron Bench $800 - $1,200 Wood Bench $500 $800 Seating Picnic Tables with $500 $1,000 integral Benches Locking Containers (4 $3,500 $5,000 bicycles) Bicycle Storage Bike Rack (4 bicycles) $250 $400 Bike Rack (6 bicycles) $400 $800 Shade Structure with integral seating for 6 - $8,000 $10,000 8 persons Shade Cluster of Trees (example: 2 48" box $1,600 $2,000 plus 1 60" box) Drinking Fountain $3,500 $4,000 w/sump Other Information Kiosk or Bulletin/Announceme $2,500 $3,000 nt Board Recreational TrailsandBicycle Route Master Plan Cn C 4 - CL O ,U ^L^' W V O W r ULL cm 0- 3 0 -4-- C: i- c C 0� U — City of Diamond Bar 00000000 CO CO0-4000M0 N CO:) -o c7 - •- O L `o , 00 C M tt O a 00 Q N 000 008 OOOLO OON� N� U') 10O q10 CO ��� - N vi 6 10 r, C'4 vi ^ -- Cq CNV) 609- 64 b9 N 0 D U N •O 0 to 0 h '0 c NZ C: 0 c C o�� 0 Q N C yc 0 c c c a Q T� V o L H O __j E 62Q c a "U N LL.

Since the Skyline (Schabarum) Trail is a County -owned and maintained trail, no cost allocation is provided, as no City improvements are anticipated. B. BICYCLE ROUTES Cost Parameters Conceptual planning level estimates of bicycle improvement costs have been developed based on cost factors included in Appendix B of the LACMTA County -wide Bicycle Policy Document. Those cost factors have been applied to the proposed bicycle route improvements to estimate the conceptual costs, of implementing the proposed bicyclesystem. The cost factors used in the County report were inflated by the cumulative CPI change of 15.2 percent which compounds to 16.1 percent to adjust from the 1994 estimates used by MTA to year 2000 dollars and rounded to the nearest thousand. Additionally, current estimates of some component costs were obtained for this Plan (see Table 7). In preparing these estimates it is assumed that due to intervening, streets (which can range from TO to 20 percent of the total' length of a route), right- of -way requirements for acquisition are based on the need to acquire 85 percent of the calculated route length. • Class 1 Bike Paths - Costs range upwards from $150,000 per mile plus right- of-way cost. For planning purposes, a cost of $1,500,000 per mile for construction plus purchase of right-of-way is assumed. • Class 2 Bike Lanes - For planning purposes, a cost of $30,000 per mile (for 2 -way travel) is used for restriping only (includes striping and removal of existing' striping via sandblasting). An additional $16,000 per mile would be required for each an additional foot (width) of paving within existing right-of- ways, fora total planning level cost estimate of $108,000 per mile when roadway construction for half the required width is involved. Purchase of right-of-way would substantially increase the project cost. For example, at $30 per square foot, the right-of-way cost for a five foot wide lane in both directions is $1,584,000 per mile. Total planning level' cost including right-of-way is therefore $1,631,000 per mile. Draft 41 Recreational.

FUNDING SOURCES A number of funding sources have been identified which have the potential to be able to be used to provide for the improvements required to implement the recommended recreational trails, urban walkways, and bicycle routes contained in this Plan. A number of these funding sources are applicable only to bicycle routes, but some can be used for both bicycle routes and recreational trails. The allocation of these funds is administered by a variety of agencies, including: the City of Diamond Bar; the County of Los Angeles; the Metropolitan Transportation Authority; the South Coast Air Quality Management District; a number of State agencies; and the Federal government. Table 9 presents a comprehensive overview of the funding sources that are available to the City of Diamond Bar for the implementation of this plan. In many instances, some of the dollar amounts for funding are limited, or already pledged to other projects. Others involve programs which are highly competitive for the amount of funds available. While some funds are controlled by the City, others are allocated to projects that meet the objectives of the granting or funding agency. To the extent that the City can cooperate with other jurisdictions to tie the improvement of Diamond Bar facilities to regional and/or interjurisdictional facilities, the probability of obtaining outside funds would increase.

FUTURE ACTIVITIES A number of future activities can be undertaken by the City of Diamond Bar to support the recommendations of this plan. Since this is a planning and feasibility study, which does not have a binding effect on the City, the following steps are suggested as future action items. First Priority Five projects have been identified as a first priority for future activities due to their feasibility. Some are low cost, others complete work previously started, and one (the recreational trail recommendation) is centrally located to serve the entire City and links to current capital improvement activities. • Prepare a trail development and implement plan for the combined Sum mitridge-Syca more Canyon Trail system, including an "on demand" activated signal on Diamond Bar Boulevard at Steep Canyon Road. • Provide urban walkway signage for Loops A and B and monitor community interest. • Complete signage and striping for the following Class 11 bicycle routes: Brea Canyon Road; Diamond Bar Boulevard; Golden Springs Drive; Gateway Center Loop; and Pathfinder Road. • Complete signage for the following Class III bicycle routes: Sunset Crossing Road; Sylvan Glen Road; and Quail Summit/Forest Canyon Loop. • Prepare a color map/brochure for distribution to the community showing the bicycle routes, urban walkways, and recreational trails (both existing and proposed). Continuing • Research grades, cross slopes, firmness of paths, etc. for recreational trails (trail development plan) to obtain data to be provided to the Draft 50 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar r,.;., (_, '' general public to assist in their understanding of the trail's features. Monitor existing funding and actively pursue all applicable grants. • Monitor new funding opportunities, evaluate their applicability to the City of Diamond Bar's proposed bicycle routes and trails, and actively pursue all applicable grants. • Continue to cooperate with adjacent jurisdictions, such as the City of Chino Hills and the County of Lbs Angeles, and' make joint applications for funding "where appropriate, as well as to coordinate improvements. • Create incremental project components whichcould be undertaken by community groups, including service clubs and/or organizations which would be appropriate for specific target projects, such as an �l Eagle Scout project. • Design uniform signage for the urban trails and recreational routes to reduce costs in manufacturing signs (even if all signs are not installed concurrently).) Meet with affected neighborhood residents to seek ways to completef� Class II routes, including street widening and/or parking removal. • Contact the owners of easements located in the City of Diamond Bar (see Appendix C) for joint use where appropriate and provide public access by eliminating fencing, gates, and other features which restrict public utilization of those easements.

While the level of public participation in these activities varied, those that did respond provided extremely relevant and meaningful information to the process of developing this plan. The results of the original questionnaire were distributed at the joint meeting of the Parks & Recreation Commission and Traffic & Transportation Commission on May 11, 2000. A copy of the survey card and Tables l through 8 summarizing the results are included in this Appendix. Over 600 individuals responded to the questionnaire - 567 by returning the questionnaires distributed with the March 2000 issue of "The Windmill' with 42 additional questionnaires submitted at the April 91h birthday celebration. Approximately 15 cards were returned after the analysis was completed, but upon review, they substantially reflect the same information provided by the original 609 questionnaires. Those individuals who participated in the various activities surveyed (bicycling - both street and mountain biking, running and/or jogging - cross-country or on City streets and sidewalks, walking on trails or sidewalks, and/or horseback riding), had a higher level of interest in the City providing facilities. For example, individuals who hada high degree of participation in bicycling activities felt that designated bikeways were very or somewhat important, whereas individuals participating in running or jogging activities, felt that the provision of enhanced walking paths or cross-country hiking and running trails were very or somewhat important. The responses from individuals who participated in at least one activity in Diamond Bar ranked the following as important (in priority order of their designation): Safety 24.8% Convenient Parking 14.3 Connections/Loops 12,6 Frequency of Use and Variety 11.2% each uraTI 53 r� Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar Cost 9.2% Convenience to Other Activities 6.5% When all responses were tabulated, whether or not individuals participated in the activities, the following ranked as important factors (in order of priority): Safety 23.4% Convenient Parking 13.57o Connections/ Loops 11.4% Variety 11.1 Cost and Frequency of Use 9.7% Convenience to Other Activities 6.27c The most important factors for all participants were safety, convenient parking, connections/loops, and variety.Cost was the most important factor to those not participating in these types of activities. At the April 9, 2000 birthday event, information was collected from participants regarding favored walking routes or bicycle routes in the City. Participants indicated with colored pens on maps their preferred routes. This information was evaluated.in prioritizing the bicycle route designations and in identifying recreational trails and walking routes in the City. At the February l stand 3`d open houses, tables were set up which were staffed by the City(to,discuss existing plans), Joe Foust of Austin -Foust Associates (to discuss issues related to bicycle routes) and Pat Hirsch of Hirsch & Associates; Inc. (to discuss recreational trails). A meet -the -commissioners table was set ,up with various commissioners from both' the Parks & Recreation Commission and the Traffic & Transportation Commission, staffing the table to discuss activities with interested residents. The final table provided opportunities to participate in three exercises and was staffed by the Roth Group. Information on the February 1 and 3, 2001 open houses was distributed to the community through announcements at City Council meetings, on the City's cable station, and web site. flyers were distributed at 16 sporting goods and bicycle shops throughout the area, and at City facilities. A notice was placed in "The Windmill' and " Weekly News". Notices were also sent to the following organizations: California Association of Bicycling Organizations; Concerned Off -Road Bicycle Association; Long Beach Cyclists; L.A. County Bicycle Coalition; BCCIE; Orange County Bicycle Coalition; California Bicycle Coalition; Sierra Club of Southern California; Sierra Club's Mt. Baldy Group Draft 54 Recreational Trails and Bicycle Route Master Plan City of Diamond Bar Newsletter; Southern California Bicyclists; and to a number of individuals who signed up at the April 2000 birthday celebration requesting to be notified of future activities. Public participation at the open houses included a mapping exercise to identify additional bicycle routes, recreational, trails, and walking routes in the. City of Diamond Bar. A questionnaire which outlined the goals proposed by theParks& Recreation and Traffic & Transportation Commissions, solicited information on whether or not agreement with those goals was achieved. Table 9 summarizing that input is included with this Appendix. Participants validated all the plan goals developed by the Parks & Recreation and Traffic & Transportation Commissions. The most important goals to those participants related to: varying skill level trails; linkages; joint use; right-of-way improvements; and completion of partial routes over new routes. Additional suggestions obtained in response to the questionnaire were: - Provide rest stops along street walks - Signs along trails enforcing Titter and leash laws and dog waste clean up - Trash collection facilities along routes - Mile markers on Diamond Bar Boulevard - . Provide mountain bike trails - "Have separate routes for hikers and cyclists to reduce bickering between people on who is hogging the path. Perhaps have a large path for all that extends to other routes suiting what you are doing." A dot exercise was also provided. Preferred facilities were identified by participants, both for bicycle route rest stops and for trail heads. Table 10, summarizing the results of that exercise, are also enclosed with this Appendix. In reviewing the features identified in the dot exercise, both bicycle riders and hiker/walkers identified the same features in the same order as being important: parking, drinking fountains, shade trees, shade structure, bench, bike rack, and picnic table. When combining like elements, e.g. shade trees and/or shade structure, which are really alternatives to accomplish the same objective, the ranking changes to: shade; parking; drinking fountain; bench and/or picnic table; and bike rack.

MEETING DATE: April 17, 2001 TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: City Council Legislative Subcommittee SUBJECT: RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING PROPOSED LEGISLATION RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council discuss the following proposed State Legislation and direct staff accordingly: (a) SB 72 (Kuehl)— Stormwater Monitoring. This bill is similar to last year's AB \2492 (Kuehl), except that it does not require numeric outflow limits_ The League opposed AB 2492 and it stalled in the Legislature. SB 72 would' establish a statewide standard monitoring program for stormwater runoff and would prohibit so-calledgroup monitoring. The League, CSAC, and the California Association of Sanitation Agencies oppose SB 72, unless it is amended to delete the requirement that municipalities comply with the new, standardized monitoring program. Large municipalities are already subject to individual monitoring programs' tailored to community circumstances and smaller communities will soon be under similar requirements under Phase Il of the federal stormwater regulations. Both the League of California Cities and the Council Legislative Subcommittee recommend opposing SB 72. (b) AB 896`(Aroner) Developmental Services, Unified System. As proposed, this measure would combine both the state and community institutional networks into one unified developmental services system. AB 896 would also revise the financing and budgeting processes of California's developmental' services system to include the creation of a state budget line item to be allocated to regional centers for specified purposes. A final element of AB 896 establishes a fund (the Lanterman Trust) which' redirects monies generated from the sale or lease of existing state facilities to provide services and support for members of the developmentally disabled community, The Council Legislative Subcommittee recommends that City staff work with its lobbyist in Sacramento (Anthony Gonsalves) and monitor the bill for any future developments. SSB 72 Senate Bill -INTRODUCED Page 1 of 2 BILL NUMBER: SB 72 INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Senator Kuehl JANUARY 10, 2001 An act to add Section 13383.5 to the Water Code, relating to water. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 72, as'introduced, Kuehl. Storm water. Under the Clean Water Act, all permits issued under the national pollutant discharge elimination system (NPDES) permit program are required to include effluent limitations that meet, applicable water quality standards. Under existing law, the State Water Resources Control Board and the California regional water quality control boards prescribe waste discharge requirements for the discharge of storm water by municipalities and industries. This bill would require the state board to develop, before January 1, 2003,-a uniform storm water monitoring program for regulated municipalities and industries', as specified, and would require the requirements established under that program to be included in all storm water permits". The bill would require every regulated municipality and industry, before January 1, 2003, to implement a storm water monitoring program, as prescribed. The bill would require regional water ,quality control boards, commencing; in 2004, to summarize the results of the storm water monitoringprograms' in their regions as specified. Vote: majority, Appropriation no. Fiscal committee: yes. State -mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1.

Sher, Chairman -2001-2002 Regular session BILI, NO: SB 72 AUTHOR: Kuehl AMENDED: As Introduced FISCAL: Yes HEARING DATE: April 2, 2001` URGENCY: No CONSULTANT: Arnie Peters SUBJECT STORMWATER RUNOFF: MONITORING SUMMARY Existing law , the federal Clean Water Act and derivative provisions in the state's water quality laws, requires that municipal and industrial storm water discharges be regulated .under the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). In California, the State WaterResources Control Board(state.board) has chosen to regulate municipal and industrial stormwater discharges separately and by different methods. 1) Municipal stormwater discharges are regulated by.separate NPDES permits that are issued by the regional water quality control boards to combinations of cities, counties and special districts. Currently, .26 NPDES permits regulate a total of about 300 local entities. 2) Industrial stormwater discharges are regulated by two General Permits adopted by the state board. One General Permit covers construction, the other covers all other industrial activity. A General Permit is a lengthy document that applies to all members of a class and establishes the conditions under which a regulated activity in this case the discharge of stormwater may be conducted. Persons subject to a General Permit notify the regional board that they will comply with its requirements by filing -a Notice of Intent. Stormwater permits - whether of the separately issued municipal type or the industrial General Permit type prescribe conditions and requirements that apply to the management of stormwater discharges SB 72 Page 2 Among these is a http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bililsen/sb 00...Jsb 72 cfa 20010402_085519 sen comm.htm 4/12/0'1 SB 72 Senate Bill - Bill Analysis Page 2 of 7 requirement that stormwater runoff be tested ("monitored") for the types of pollutants that are present in the discharge and their concentrations. The monitoring requirements imposed by municipal stormwater permits are tailored to the specific situation and are the product of discussions between the miinicipal discharger and the regional board. The 'discharger proposes a monitoring program and if the regional board finds it adequate it will approve it. The program includes the 'pollutants to be tested for, sampling locations, sampling frequencies', analytical methods, and other similar technical details that the regional board believes should be implemented and are adequate to determine the pollutants that are of concern and may be in the discharge and how they may affect .the waters that receive the discharge. Monitoring requirements for industrial stormwater discharges are established•in the General Permit. Briefly, they are as follows: a) Two tests a year must be carried out, the first during the first storm event of the wet season and the second during one other storm event. This requirement is modified, however, if a facility participates in a group monitoring plan;, in this latter case, the facility is obligated to test the stormwater only twice over each five-year period. b) All facilities must test for: (1) total suspended solids, pH, ,specific conductance and total organic carbon (or oil and, grease) (2) any toxic chemical or other pollutant likely.to be in the discharge unless it has not been detected in the two most recent consecutive samples; (3) specified chemicals unique to the facility's Standard Industrial Classification (SIC Code) unless they have not been detected during two earlier samples or an evaluation carried out by the facility operator shows they are not likely to be present c) Monitoring samples must be analyzed by a state certified laboratory unless the facility has its own laboratory in which case it may analyze the stcrmwater samples itself. SB 72 Page 3 This bill °enacts into statute specified monitoring requirements for municipal :and -industrial stormwater -_ - discharges. The bill does'the following: 1) Requires -the state board, by January 1,- 2003, to develop a uniform stormwater monitoring program that will apply to all municipal and industrial dischargers. The program must: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/sen/sb-00 ... /sb- 72_cfa 20010402 085519_sen comm.htm 4/12/01 SB 72 Senate Bill - Bill Analysis Page 3 of 7 a) Establish standardized requirements for all of the following: sample collectionmethods, sampling intervals and frequencies (at least five times per wet season if the regulated entity is an industry), analytical laboratory methods, pollutant detection limits, quality control methods, data reporting formats and annual reporting requirements. b) Require that sample analyses be carried out by state certified laboratories c) Require regulated municipalities to testfora fairly lengthy list of specified pollutants and use; the data to (i) evaluate the effectiveness of the management practices used to reduce pollutant loads in stormwater discharges and (ii) assess pollutant loading to receiving waters and the effects this will have on water quality'. d) Require regulated industries to, at a minimum, test for most, but not all, of the pollutants they now are required by the General Permit to test for. However, group monitoring, a practice now allowed by the General Permit, will be prohibited. 2) Requires that municipalities and industries, beginning January, 1, 2003, implement the uniform monitoring program that will be established by the state board. 3) Requires regional boards and the state board, beginning in 2004, to annually report on the results of stormwater monitoring. SB 72 Page 4 COMMENTS .1) Purpose of Bill This bill is sponsored by Heal The Bay, an environmental organization that is especially concerned about the Santa Monica Day and other southern California coastal watersandthe degree to which stormwater discharges affect the quality of those waters. Stormwater discharges have become a focus of increased scrutiny during the past several years because of the ;beach closures that regularly occur in the southern California area and because of the significant numbers of impaired water bodies that fail to meet federal and state water quality objectives.' Because stormwater discharges are a significant source of surface water pollution and contamination, the sponsor of this bill, other environmental organizations and the author are concerned about the effectiveness of the monitoring requirements that are now imposed on municipalities and industries responsible for managing the discharges. Without effective monitoring requirements and valid data http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/sen/sb-00 ... /sb72 cfa 20010402 -085519 sen comm.htm 4/12/01 SB 72 Senate Bill - Bill Analysis Page 4 of 7 M the sources of pollutants found in ocean waters and impaired water bodies cannot be identified and effective and efficient measures to reduce pollutant loading cannot he implemented. The purpose of this bill is to impose requirements on stormwater monitoring that will strengthen perceived w . eaknesses and fill perceived gaps in existing requirements. 2) issues . There is.'considerable controversy surrounding the requirements of this bill. It is safe to say that almost everyone now regulated by stormwater permits opposes this bill. They argue generally that the current stormwater monitoring requirements are adequate and that, if the state board and the regional boards had adequate personnel and resources to review the monitoring data submitted by dischargers, current monitoring activities would yield a reasonably accurate picture of the effects of stormwater discharges on water quality. The author and the sponsor of this bill obviously do not agree with this assessment. Experience with attempts to identify the sources of bacterial contamination that have caused repeated beach closures and efforts to determine the sources of pollutant SB 72 Page 5 loading of impaired water bodies appears to warrant at least some skepticism concerning the quality and validity of stormwater monitoring data. The following is a discussion of some of the issues raised by this bill. a) Scope of monitoring The bill specifies that municipalities test stormwater discharges for a fairly lengthy list of specified pollutants. Since the pollutants they now must test for are specific to their individual circumstances, it is not possible to know if this bill significantly expands existing requirements. However, the general impression is that the list of pollutants specified in the bill includes parameters and chemicals that are not now included in monitoring • requirements for at least some municipalities. The list of pollutants that the bill requires industrial dischargers to monitor for is somewhat less inclusive than the list required by the General Permit since it does not include required monitoring for SIC specific pollutants as is required by the General Permit. The bill does not preclude monitoring for SIC specific pollutants, however, so it is within the state board's discretion whether to continue this requirement. b) Frequency of monitoring . The frequency with which municipal stormwater discharges are monitored is now established in each stormwater permit. The bill does http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pubibill/sen/sb-00 ... /sb-72—cfa-20010402-085519—sen—comm.htm 4/12/01 SB 72 Senate Bill - Bill Analysis Page 5 of 7 not affect this situation except that it appears to require that the frequency ,of monitoring should be standardized., The bill substantially affects the frequency with which industrial discharges will be monitored.' The General Permit now requires that industrial discharges be tested twice each wet season, once during the first storm and once thereafter. If a. facility is part of a`group monitoring plan, testing must be done only two times every five years. The bill changes the required frequency to five times each wet season for all facilities. It also prohibits group monitoring of industrial facilities (see below). SB72 Page 6 In addition, the bill requires that testing for all pollutants must be carried out each time a monitoring sample is taken. The General Permit allows testing for a given pollutant to be discontinued if the two most recent consecutive samples did not detect the pollutant. C) Group monitoring The General Permit now allows similar industrial facilities to form groups to conduct. joint monitoring. According to the state board, about 1600 facilities have formed 53 groups in the state. Group monitoring effectively reduces industrial facility monitoring requirements' by 80% since only one-fifth of the facilities in a group are required to test their stormwater each year. The results of the testing are then applicable to all facilities in the group for that year. The theory is that since group facilities are similar, the testing results, whether good or bad,"are applicable to all the facilities. If testing shows low levels of pollutant loads at the facility tested in a given year, then all facilities in the group are assumed to also have low loads the reverse is' of course, also supposed to be true. In practice,,however, more often than not group facilities apparently take the stance thatitis "good science" to assume low levels at all groups,facilities when the test facility tests low but that it is not good science e to assumthe reverse and that a high -testing facility must have a deficiency in its pollutant management practices 'that 'the other group facilities do'not have. The bill prohibits group monitoring as it is now authorized under the General Permit'. d) Laboratories The bill requires that all stormwater monitoring samples be analyzed by laboratories certified' by the State Department of Health Services. This is a restatement of existing law. The Porter -Cologne' clearly http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/Pub/bill/sen/sb-00 ... /sb- 7Z cfa 20010402 085519 sen comm.htm 4/12/01 SB 72 Senate Bill - Bill Analysis Page 6 of 7 requires in Water Code Section 13176 that all water quality analyses .be performed by certified labs. The state board appears to have ignored this statutory requirement in allowing the use of uncertified labs at industrial facilities to perform analyses of stormwater samples under the General Permit.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST' AB 896, as amended, Aroner. Developmental services: unified system. Existing law, the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act, requires the State Department of Developmental Services to contract with regional centers for the provision of various services and supports to persons with developmental disabilities. This bill would declare the intent of the Legislature to consolidate and alter the distribution of resources and responsibilities with respect to the provision of services and supports to the developmentally disabled population within a`unified system, and would make related findings and declarations. This bill would revise the financing and budgeting processes of California's developmental services, system, including requiring the creation of a state budget line item to be known as the "State Hospital Interagency Fund Transfer," or the SHIFT budget. This bill would require funds in the SHIFT budget to be 'allocated to regional centers for specified purposes. This bill would require each regional center to establish a community augmentation and resource enhancement account, or CARE account, to augment and improve services and supports for developmentally disabledpersons living in the community whose needs are the greatest.. The bill would specify the funding sources and intended uses for CARE accounts., This bill would also establish the Lanterman Trust, in the State Department of Developmental Services, and the Lanterman Trust Fund in the State Treasury, in order that funds generated from the sale or lease of existing state` facilities for the treatment of the developmentally disabled may be redirected to provide specified services and supports to members of the developmentally disabled community. The bill would provide that the trust shall be administered by a board of trustees, and would specify the membership of the board of trustees, as well as the sources and intended uses of the funds.

Chapter 13 (commencing with Section 4850) is added to Division 4.5 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, to read: CHAPTER 13. SYSTEM UNIFICATION, GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND PROCEDURES http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/asm/ab 0851 -.../ab 896 bill -20010327 amended asm.htm 4/12/01 AB 896 Assembly Bill - AMENDED Page 2 of 12 Article 1. Legislative Findings and Intent- 4850. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following, regarding the past and current implementation of the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act: (a) The initial intent of the Legislature in enacting the act has been fulfilled. Despite enormous population growth in California since 1965, when the first pilot regional centers were established, no new state -p-6tals institutions have had to be constructed, and seater-& the state institution population has°been reduced by 72 percent. As a direct result of the enactment of the act, an alternative network of programs has been developed throughout the state, creating thousands of new jobs in local communities, mostly in private nonprofit organizations. over the past three decades, this community-based system has enabled hundreds of thousands of individuals with developmental disabilities and their families to have choices previously unavailable to them, and to live more normal, liberated, and happier lives. The community-based system, currently serving about 170,000 people with developmental disabilities, has proven to be much more economical than the state operated institutional system. Community programs have produced benefits at a much lower per capita cost than the state's' institutions, even when serving identical people. (b) Although the programmatic and economic accomplishments of the past three decades have been monumental, the community-based system and the state institution system now face seriousproblemsthat require immediate attention by the Legislature. Successful; implementation of the act is jeopardized by a shortage of funds in the community system. In 1999, a report by the Bureau of State Audits concluded that the community system is being undermined by budget cuts and insufficient funding. Other evidence documents that necessary programs are being closed and others not initiated because of funding shortages. The most serious statewide deficiency is the shortage of personnel and high employee turnover rates resulting from uncompetitive, depressed wage scales. In contrast to workers in state institutions performing similar tasks, @" V--` evltev� support staff in the community, system receive half the pay and few, if any, of the employee benefits. (c) The state haspitai institution system, which is funded and administered separately, now faces a contrasting crisis. It has been become overly expensive, spending 25 percent of the state's total developmental disabilities budget on 3,800 people, little more than 2 percent of the population served in the community and state 4as�=-`-_ institution systems combined. The average annual cost per 'client served in the state institutions has doubled over the past 10 years to one hundred sixty-five thousand dollars ($165,000). A one and one-half billion dollars ($1,500,000,000) capital expenditure is now needed to remodel state facilities to comply with health, safety, and accessibility standards. Despite enormous expenditures on these facilities they have often failed to meet federal standards, with resultant losses of federal funding, placing greater burdens on the state General Fund. (d) In addition to cost concerns, state policy with respect to the provision of developmental services must be guided by consideration of the relative effectiveness of various program alternative, and the legal implications of different policies. (e) The separate, segregated system operated directly by the department does not comply with the intent of state ,law and is less cost-effective than the community-based system operated indirectly by the state through contracts with regional centers and http://www,leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/asm/ab 0851 -...fab 896 bill 20010327 amended .asm.htm 4/12/01 AB 896 Assembly Bill - AMENDED Page 3 of 12 subcontracts with a variety of direct service providers in local communities (f) For financial, programmatic, and legal reasons, the time has come for California to complete the transition initiated decades ago, from an institution -based system to a community-based system of services and supports for people with developmental disabilities and their families. The time has come to move from a dual system to a single system that provides for 'health, safety, growth, development, and community integration in the most cost-effective ways (g) The transition to a unified, community-based system has been completed in some other states. Their experience demonstrates that any increase in state costs to create excellent community services is offset,, over time, by the reduction of expenditures on large institutions and by increased federal financial support. At present, the proportion of federalsupport for California's community services is low, when compared to most other states. 4850.1. (a) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this chapter to enable the state to fulfill its mandated obligations by resolving systemic financial, programmatic, and legal problems, by consolidating and altering the distribution of resources and ire$ e3 i�z res- > ei3 "eyeee be eke- e B e eEBev--' an s Bl-tsC_e moi, a..c_..., .,;. 44:s ,, le nnnii?Minn t4bi in ft within a more unified system.

(b) It is the further intent of the Legislature to have redistributed funds and additional program funds generated pursuant to the provisions of this chapter invested in all of the following: (1) Excellent community-based services for persons who are at greatest risk of being placed into state institutions because of the luck of adequate alternatives. (2) Excellent community-based services for current residents of state institutions. (3) Excellent community-based services for persons currently living in the community whose needs are the same as residents of state institutions. ' (c) It is the further intent of, the Legislature that the major changes required by this chapter shall be implemented, over time, in an orderly way, and carried out so as to create new opportunities for success for employees within the 'system, and to produce programs of excellent quality, in a unified system, for all people with developmental disabilities' and their families. �r (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, nothing in this chapter shall be construed to permit the diversion of any funds saved or generated as a result of implementation of this chapter to any purposes other than those defined in this chapter. Article 2. State Hospital Interagency Fund Transfer 4851. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the requirements of this article shall be applicable to the financing and budgeting processes of California's developmental services system. (a) To initiate consolidated funding, the line item in the state budget prepared by the Governor pursuant to Section 13.37 of the Government Code, which is currently identified as "Developmental Centers Program" shall be replaced by "State' Hospital Interagency Fund Transfer," or the "SHIFT" budget, which shall be a subset of the "Community Services Program" budget in order to develop and administer the "SHIFT" budget, the department shall do all of the followings http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/asm/ab_0851-.,../ab 896 bill -20010327 amended asm.htin 4112/01 ,AB 896 Assembly Bill - AMENDED (1) Determine the number of persons; including anticipated new admissions, in each of the major service categories of developmental disability, who are expected to reside in each of,the facilities operated by the department. (2) Determine the average annual per capita cost in each service category in each facility, including variable and fixed costs. (3) Assign as a responsibility, to the most appropriate regional center„ each person who is expected to reside in a facility operated by the department, including anticipated new admissions. (4) Determine the amount of the SHIFT budget apportioned to a regional center, by multiplying the number of persons assigned to the regional center from each facility, in each service category by the average annual per capita cost associated with each such person. (b) The methods and timing of the transmittal of SHIFT budget funds to regional centers shall be the same as the methods and timing used to transmit funds in the Community Services Program budget, unless other arrangements are agreed to, and stated in the contract between the.department and regional centers. (c) In addition to developing and apportioning the SHIFT budget, the department shall conduct its usual procedures for preparing the Community Services Program budget and allocations for regional centers. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to permit the use of SHIFT budget funds to replace other funds allocated to regional centers through the customary budgeting process for the Community Services Program. (d) The amount of a regional center's portion of the SHIFT budget allotted in the first fiscalyear following January 1, 2002, shall constitute the base for determining the regional center's SHIFT budget.allotment in subsequent years. The amount of the allotment may be adjusted by the department in the future only if any of the following circumstances occur: (1) Changes in the cost of living, as determined by the state's usual methods, require an adjustment in 'order to maintain the same levels and quality of service. (2) A person assigned as a responsibility of a regional center is reassigned to a different regional center, in which case SHIFT funds shall follow the individual and be reapportioned to the regional center to which the person has been reassigned. (3) Involuntary court placements of developmentally disabled persons into state institutions exceed projections require an augmentation to cover increased costs. (4) Changes in the average annual per capita costs in facilities operated by the department require an adjustment in regional centers' SHIFT budgets in order to maintain services. 4852. To the extent permitted by Article VII of the California Constitution, all; state institutions administered by the department shall be vendorized. The department and regional centers shall be. authorized to 'enter into contractual agreements whereby SHIFT funds will be used to pay for the cost of providing services to individuals who reside in facilities operated by the department. Contracts' shall be for a term of one year, unless otherwise determined by mutual consent, and may be renewed' annually. 4852.1. A regional center may contract with other community-based providers, using SHIFT funds to pay for the cost of services for persons assigned as a responsibility of the regional center. If the regional center's cost for all these services is, at the end of the budget year, less than its annual SHIFT budget, it shall deposit the difference in a separate "community augmentation and resource enhancement" account, or a "CARE" account. The CARE account shall be used, as specified in Article 4 (commencing with responsibilities Section 4855), to enhance services for persons who are not residents of state facilities, but whose needs are the same. Funds in a CARE Page 4 of 12 http:llwww.leginfo.ca.gov1publbilllasm/ab_0851-..Jab_896 bill 20010327_amended asm.hhn 4/12/01 .AB 896 Assembly Bill - AMENDED account shall be carried over from one fiscal year to the next.. 4852.2. (a) In order to achieve an orderly transition to a unified community-based system, to allow time for adequate planning and development of quality programs, and to integrate personnel from state service into the community system, regional centers shall do all of the following: (I) Focus their highest annual priority efforts on securing community-based alternatives for at least 150 persons who have been included as anticipated new admissions pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 4851, and who are most likely to be admitted into state institutions if appropriate alternatives are not made available. With the exception of persons committed by the courts, no person shall be admitted to a state institution prior to a full review and written approval by the director. (2) Contract, in any given year, for alternative community --based services for at least an additional 400 persons assigned to regional centers who are residents of state facilities.. The department, after consultation with regional centers, shall establish annual goals for each regional center to achieve the orderly transfer of the residents of state facilities to community-based living with the support services needed. 4852.3. (a) In order to minimize state General Fund costs, and to maximize funding for CARE accounts, regionalcenters shall make the fullest feasible use of circles of support of families and friends, and of generic and federal funding resources for community-based services. The department shall do all of the following: (1) Take all necessary action to expand all sources of federal financial participation in developmental services` programs, in order to reach the proportions achieved by many other states. (2) Act to reduce the high overhead and fixed costs in state facilities by consolidating programs, closing unused portions of facilities, conserving energy, terminating functions that duplicate those available from nearby communities, and phasing out nonessential activities. 4852.4. The department shall take action whenever necessary to secure the cooperation of'any .state or federal' agencies whose procedures could present obstacles to, or would diminish funding for, the system unification processes established in this chapter. if, after reasonable efforts have been made to secure this cooperation, the operation of this chapter is being thwarted by lack of cooperation by any state or federal agency, the department shall report the problem and recommend solutions to the Governor, the Secretary of the California Health and Human Services Agency, and the chairpersons of the appropriate committees of the Senate and Assembly. if a federal agency is involved, the department shall submit a copy of its report to every Senator and Representative from California in the United States Congress. The department shall also submit a copy of its report to Protection and Advocacy, Inc. Article 3. Creating Models of Excellence 4853. (a) It is the intent of the Legislature that every person who moves from a facility operated by the department into a community-based program shall ;achieve the best possible health and quality of life for a lifetime. The department and the regional centers shall collaborate in selecting those persons for whom movement into the community will be considered, and in carrying out person -centered individual program planning for all these persons. (b) Person -centered individual program planning shall adhere to the principles, values, and procedures prescribed by law, including Sections 4501, 4502.1, 4512, 464,6, 4646.5, 4689, and 4689.1. Copies of these sections shall be provided to all participants in the Page 5of12 http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/asm/ab_0851-.../ab 896 bill -20010327 amended asm.htm 4/12/01 AB 896 Assembly Bill - AMENDED Page 6 of 12 planning teams for orientation purposes. Planning for the transfer of persons from state institution to community-based living shall include the goals and aspirations of the person, and the person's preferences regarding living situation, activities, and lifestyle. The plan shall also contain a detailed transitional plan describing all supportive services, how services will be provided and by whom, how each objective in the plan will be achieved, what generic and family resources will be used, and how outcomes will be measured. (c) When a plan is being prepared for the purpose of creating a community-based program for a resident of a state institution, the planning team shall include, but shall not be limited to, the state facility staff member, or members, who know the resident best and who may be best able to communicate with, and interpret the interests and desires of, the resident. The department shall also make it possible for these staff members to visit the person after relocation to the community, to provide information and advice to personnel in the community program and continuity of relationship with the person who has been relocated.. (d) The Legislature finds and declares that procedures and policies for successfully moving many individuals from state institutions to community unity programs are well tested in California as a result of the settlement agreement in Coffelt v. State Department of Developmental Services (1991) Superior Ct., San Francisco Co., No, 916401. When implementing this chapter, the department and regional centers shall draw upon this recent experience and apply the methods that have proven to be effective. . 4854. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that the professional program concepts regarding services to persons with developmental disabilities have changed and continue to change rapidly, and that the system unification process initiated by this chapter creates an opportunity to adopt improved methods of helping people to live more healthy, productive, and happier lives. It is the intent of the Legislature that methods and services supported by the SHIFT budget shall be exemplary models, suitable for future replication and adaptation throughout the state. Regional centers are encouraged to utilize the many program alternatives currently provided for in this division and to also use additional and innovative methods of fulfilling the expectations contained in the program plans of individuals. (b) For purposes of this chapter, "models of excellence" does not refer to particular program designs, but rather to the capability of an .entire system to devise and deliver the services and support desired and needed by many different individuals. (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, regional centers are authorized to use SHIFT budget funds to do all of the following: (1) Resolve wage -related difficulties encountered in attracting and retaining competent workers to provide services to persons served by SHIFT budget funds. In order to pay a living wage, to recruit good workers, and to enable them to remain on the job long enough to receive training and build greater competency, no worker with responsibilities for implementing an individual program plan shall be paid less than two times the state minimum wage, adjusted for geographic differences in the cost of living. Full-time workers shall also be provided with medical, retirement, and vacation benefits. When contracting with service providers to implement individual program plans, regional centers shall enable providers to achieve parity with state salary scales for professional personnel with the same responsibilities as personnel employed in state facilities. (2) Contract with one or more state employees to implement the individual program plan or plans of one or more persons moving from hq://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/asm/ab-0851-.../ab-896—bill-20010327—amended—asm.htm 4/12/01 AB 896 Assembly Bill AMENDED Page 7 of 12 state institutions to community-based programs. If state employees are determined by the regional center to be the best available source of personnel to implement certain individual program plans, the regional center may contract with the state so that the state employees may provide services in their own homes or other homes secured for this purpose. The regional center may also use SHIFT funds to help these workers establish agencies or businesses to operate model programs, and may assist them with legal, accounting, and other business support services. The regional centers may also use SHIFT funds to contractwithhealth care workers, or other professionals with specialized expertise who are currently state employees or under.contract to the state, to provide services for persons served with SHIFT budget funds. This paragraph shall be implemented only to the extent permitted by Article VII of the California Constitution. (3) Provide support to families to; help them maintain greater control over decisions and resources and to implement individual program plans in their own homes. Regional centers may use SHIFT funds to enable families living anywhere in the state to conduct self-determination programs as described in subdivision (b) of Section 4685.5. when a family desires to assume this responsibility, and the regional center finds this method to be in the best interest of the person and consistent with the person's program plan, the regional center shall prepare a formal agreement with the family ;that shall delineate the responsibilities of the family and the regional center. (4) Use funds in the SHIFT budget to enable children and adults to live with their own families with supportive services as described in 'Section 4685. When necessary to enable families to care for a family member at home, and to avoid more costly out -of -home placement, regional centers may also provide stipends to family members who are providing care in their own homes. (5) when necessary to fulfill the requirements in individual program plans, use funds in the SHIFT budget to enable adults or their families to lease homes or apartments that provide stable residences for supportive living programs, as described in Section 4689. When other funds ,are not available for this purpose, SHIFT budget funds may also be used to enable adults or families to purchase furniture, equipment, and supplies needed for residences. (6) Use funds in the SHIFT budget to enhance any program of any provider of services, when the augmentation is necessary to implement the requirements of an individual program plan. (7) With the approval of the department, create any new program or method, or modify any method described in statute, for the purpose of designing solutions to unique problems identified in an individual program plan. (8) include funding in contracts with service providers, to help pay for the startup costs of initiating new programs, when -these programs are necessary to implement individual program plans; and when other funds for startup costs are unavailable. (9) Use SHIFT budget funds to 'enable; the regional center to pay for added costs for person centered planning, special service coordination, evaluation, and administration of SHIFT budget activities. No more than 7 percent of the SHIFT budget shall be used for these purposes. 4854.5. (a) In order to ensure quality, to evaluate costs and outcomes, and to make informed judgments regarding the future replication and adaptation of program and financing methods established by this chapter, the department, including the Organization of Area Boards within the department, and the Association of Regional Center Agencies shall collaborate in gathering and analyzing information pertaining to the implementation http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/asm/ab_0851-.../ab 896 bill 20010327 amended asm.htm 4/12/01 AB 896 Assembly Bill - AMENDED Page 8 of 12 of this chapter. These entities shall issue an annual public report with documentation, to address important, questions, including, but not limited to, all of the following: (1) Using a scaled measuring procedure, how have persons who have moved into community-based programs adjusted to the transition? what. changes have occurred over time with regard to their health, relationships, community, involvement, and other measurable indicators of the quality of their lives? (2) Have any difficulties been encountered in preparing individual program plans? If so, how have these problems been resolved, and what changes would be useful to improve this process? (3) What progress or lack of progress has there been in achieving the objectives in individual program plans for persons who have moved from state institutions to community-based programs? (4) How successful has the effort been to create community alternativesfor persons considered most likely to be admitted to state institutions? What difficulties have been encountered, and how can they be resolved?' (5) What efforts have been made to deflect or move persons with nondangerous forensic issues from state institutions to community-based programs? What difficulties have been encountered; and how can they be resolved? (6) How have all funds in the SHIFT budget been used? Whatare the per capita costs in the community-based programs? If any difficulties have been encountered in the uses or administration of SHIFT budget funds, how can they be resolved? Article 4. Community Augmentation and Resource Enhancement Accounts 4855. (a) It is the intent of the Legislature that the methods for creating.models of excellence, established and evaluated pursuant to Sections 4854 and 4854.5 be replicated for persons who are not current residents of state institutions but whose needs are the same. Funds from a CARE account shall be used to augment and improve services and supports for those persons living in the community whose' needs are the greatest. (b) Each regional center shall establish a CARE account. The account shall be separate from the regional center's community services and SHIFT budget accounts, and shall contain funds from several sources, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) Unexpendedfundsfrom the SHIFT budget account, when the regional center's costs for community alternatives is less than its costs for state -operated services for individuals assigned to the regional center. (2) Year-end regional center surplusoperationsor purchase of service fund's. (3) Funds derived from donations and bequests, and grants derived from private foundationsorcorporate donors. (4) State or federal funds that may .be allocated to CARE accounts. (c) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to permit the use of funds in CARE accounts to replace other funds that would be allocated to regional centers through the customary budgeting process for the community services program or the process for determining and apportioning the SHIFT budget pursuant to Section 4851. (d) Regional centers shall report to the department; in such manner as may be required by the department, regarding the amounts, sources, and uses of funds in CARE accounts. 4855.5.' Funds in CARE accounts shall be used to enable regional centers to fulfill the requirements of individual program plans only after other sources of funding are found to be unavailable or http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pubibill/asm/ab 0851 -..Jab 896 bill 20010327 amended asm.htm 4/12/01 AB 896 Assembly Bill - AMENDED Page 9 of 12 inadequate. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, CARE accounts may be used to fund any of the methods for creating models of excellence, as described in Section 4854, when necessary to implement the individual program plans of persons who are not current residents of state facilities, but whose needs are the same. 4855.6. The evaluation and outcome analysis required for services funded with SHIFT budget funds in Section 4854.5 shall be adapted as necessary and applied to services funded by CARE accounts. Article 5. The Lanterman Trust Fund 4856. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that during the past century, the people of California have made significant capital investments to build and maintain a network of state facilities for the purpose of housing, and providing services.to, children and adults with developmental disabilities. As a result of state and federal court decisions to halt the segregation of disabled people, and the growth of community alternatives, the population in these state facilities has dwindled. The enormous capital expenditures required to repair old state hospital buildings to meet modern health, safety, and accessibility standards cannot be justified. The system unification initiatives enacted by this chapter will further accelerate the population decline in these facilities. The state can avoid the high costs of repair of state hospitals as alternative models of excellence are created for current residents and these state facilities are phased out. (b) The Legislature further finds and declares that, in 'addition to the current residents of state facilities,', thousands of other persons with developmental disabilities need affordable housing, and many more will, in the future, require homes in their communities, along with program supports in order to minimize future General Fund expenditures for housing, state hospital facilities may be sold or leased and the funds generated from these past investments may be redirected to achieve the outcomes for which these investments were intended. Californians with developmental disabilities have an undeniable right to these past investments made on their behalf. 4856.1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, state lands and buildings managed by the department shall, when feasible, be appraised, and leased or sold, at fair market value. No governmental entity or private party or corporation shall have any right to receive all or any portion of these properties without full payment of the fair market price as established by the Department of General Services. 4856.2. (a) The department shall prepare and implement a transition plan, which 'shall be revised annually, for state institutions to accommodate the requirements of the diminishing resident population resulting from the implementation of this chapter. The plan and implementation activities shall include, but need not be limited to: (1) Procedures for limiting increased per capita costs that would require adjustment of SHIFT budgets, pursuant to paragraph (4) of subdivision (d) of Section 4851. (2) Methods for consolidating programs and for minimizing the disruption to residents during the period of transition to a unified system. (3) Determination of the methods and timing of the closure of ..state institutions. In order to initiate capitalization of the Lanterman Trust Fund established pursuant to this article, the first facility'to`be closed shall be the one with the greatest market value, as determined by the Department of General Services This facility shall be closed by December 31, 2003. (b) All proceeds from the sale or lease of state facility lands http.//www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/asm/ab_0851-.;./ab_896_bill_20010327 amended asm.htm 4/12/01 AB 896 Assembly Bill - AMENDED Page 10 of 12 and buildings shall be deposited in the Lanterman Trust Fund, which is hereby created in the State Treasury. Moneys in, 'the -Lanterman Trust Fund shall be used upon appropriation by the Legislature, for purposes of this chapter. (c) The Lanterman Trust is hereby created in the department, and shall be administered by a board of trustees, which shall include all of the following members: (1) The director, or his or her designee. (2) A representative of the State Council on Developmental Disabilities. (3) A representative of the organization of Area Boards. (4) A representative of the Association of Regional Center Agencies. (5) one-person with expertise in real 'estate, who shall be appointed by the Governor. (6) one person with expertise in large trust management, who shall be appointed by the Senate Committee on Rules.' (7) one person with expertise in investment and financial management, who shall be appointed by the Speaker of the Assembly. (8) Four persons with developmental disabilities, and four parents of persons with developmental ,disabilities, one of whom shall be an attorney, who shall be nominated by organizations representing consumers, and appointed by ;the director. Appointees shall serve for staggered terms, which shall be randomly determined. (d) If requested, the department may compensate board members for actual, expenses incurred in performance of their duties. (e) The Lanterman Trust may utilize trust funds to employ or contract for, professional help to assist the board with management of the trust, real estate transactions, investments, accounting, or other necessary functions. 4856.3. The trust may accept the donation of family homes, giving the disabled family member a life estate and, through the regional center, the supports needed to reside in that home for a lifetime. The trust shall not manage any property, but shall,contract with community agencies for this purpose. . 4856.4. The Lanterman Trust shall be used primarily as a permanent means of enabling the state to offer stable family -scale housing, located in typical neighborhoods, to persons with developmental disabilities. The Lanterman Trust shall be managed in ways that ensure that all of the following occur: (1) The assets of the trust are not used to replace any appropriations for service programs. (2) The assets of the trust will be replenished to the maximum extent by the collection of rents and repayment of loans. (3) A portion of the assets of the trust will be invested in ways that assure preservation of the principal and generate dividends to replenish the trust's assets. 4856.5. (a) With the approval of the board of trustees, the department may utilize trust funds to carry out the intent of this article, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) Providing low-interest or deferred interest loans to public benefit corporations, organized to provide housing for people with developmental disabilities, who agree contractually to keep the real estate for the perpetual benefit of people with developmental disabilities or to convey the, real estate to the trust when this use ceases. (2) Providing low-interest or deferred interest housing loans to families caring for developmentally disabled family member or members at home, and to families anywhere in the state who are implementing individual program plans using the self-determination methods described in Section 4685.5`. Housing loans to a family may be made available only if the regional center verifies that care in http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/asmlab 0851-.../ab_896-- bill_20010327_amended asm.htm 4/12/01 AB 896 Assembly Bill - AMENDED Page 11 of 12 . 5 the family home is a preferred means of implementing the individual program plan. Loans to families may be used to enable families to remodel existing homes if necessary to accommodate the special needs of a disabled family member, or to acquire other housing for this, reason. Loans to families shall be repaid to the Lanterman Trust. Payment schedules shall be adjusted to fit the financial capacity of the family. Loans made for this purpose shall include a stipulation that if the family no longerneeds' the property, it shall be made available to others with developmental disabilities, at affordable rates, or may be deeded to the trust. (b) In addition to the use of Lanterman Trust funds for permanent community housing, the department may use trust funds, in amounts to be determined by, and with the approval of, the board of trustees, to establish manufacturing facilities, in several parts of the state, to produce adaptive equipment, customized wheelchairs,_ shoes and other articles needed statewide, to meet the unique needs of individuals with developmental disabilities. These technical centers of excellence may be operated` directly by the department; or may be contracted to other operators, with the department's skilled personnel providing' training and 'quality controls. (c) Subject to any rules and procedures as the board of trustees may establish, the trust may also provide grants of funds, for special purposes, using portions of the interest generated from trust investments. The trust may respond to requests for grants from any individual or community-based nonprofit organization, for special' purposes, including, but not limited to, startup costs for new programs, special equipment or facilities, and assistance to self -help -organizations of persons with developmental disabilities. Article 6. System Unification Outcomes 4857.' (a) The Legislature finds and declares that as °a result of the implementation of this chapter, the department's role as a provider of direct services will diminish and its responsibilities for administration of amore unified system will expand. it is the intent of the Legislature that current employees of the 'department shall be assisted in every way possible to benefit from the new opportunities that will become available, and to minimize any negative impact upon them as a result of the downsizing and closure of state institutions. No later than December 31, 2002, the department shall prepare, in collaboration with the Department of Personnel Administration, and .shall ':submit to the Legislature, a plan for these employees. The plan shall include, but need not be limited to, all of the following: (1) Plans for the utilization of the department's employees during the transition to amore unified system, including projections of annual work force changes. (2) Plans for the reassignment of staff in thecentraloffice of the department, from state facilities to community support and systemwide quality assurance functions. (3) Plans for assisting skilled state workers in transferring to community. -based service programs. (4) Procedures to enable state workers to retain state benefits, including participation in the Public Employees Retirement System, after transferring from state to community-based programs within the developmental disabilities system. (5) Plans for assisting employees in transferring to other state agencies. (6) Provisions for severance and early retirement benefits. 4857.3. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that, in addition to the system unification measures in this chapter, other systemic changes may be required to improve efficiency and more fully achieve http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/asm/ab 0851 -.../ab 896 bill 20010327 amended asm.htm 4/12/01 AB 896 Assembly Bill - AMENDED Page 12 of 12 the goals of the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act. The Legislature finds a,multiplicity of funding administrations and a scattering of responsibilities among numerous agencies for licensing, quality control, and eligibility determination. As a result, persons with developmental disabilities face frustration and delays in service, agencies spend excessive time on complex administrative details, different and conflicting values create conflicting incentives, quality control is impeded, and the responsibility for outcomes is diluted. (b) It is the intent of the Legislature to enact: legislation to further unify the funding and administration of California's developmental disabilities system to achieve more seamless, more efficient, and more family -friendly sex -vices, with more consistent good quality and better outcomes. (c) The Secretary of the California Health and Human Services Agency, in consultation with stakeholder groups, and the various human service agencies within the secretary's jurisdiction, shall prepare proposals for legislation that may be useful to further consolidate funding and service functions within the developmental disabilities system. Proposals for specific legislation shall be submitted to the appropriate committees of the Legislature. (d) The Legislature requests the Secretary of the California Health and Human Services Agency, in consultation with the Association of Regional Center Agencies, the department, and other interested parties, to conduct an objective analysis of the current functioning of the regional centers to determine whether their locations and size are optimal, and to evaluate their responsiveness to those they serve and their management of an entitlement program with a fixed appropriation. The secretary shall make recommendations as may be needed for changes that.would improve the functioning of this part of California's community-based system.

EXISTING LAW I)Establishes the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act, under which the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) contracts with 21 private non-profit regional centers to provide case management services and arrange for, or purchase, other services that meet the needs of individuals with developmental disabilities. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pubibilFasm/ab—.../ab-896—cfa-20010402-144616—asm—comm.htin 4/12/01 -AB 896 Assembly Bill - Bill Analysis Page 5 of 9 2)Provides for the licensure of medical and non-medical residential and day programs that serve developmentally disabled individuals, and establishes a rate system to pay for the provision of care in these programs. 3)Establishes and funds five state developmental centers, administered by DDS and licensed by the Department of Health Services in accordance with the level of care they provide. Specifies the responsibilities of the officers and staff of the developmental centers. 4)Requires DDS to submit a detailed plan to the Legislature prior to closure of any developmental center, and requires legislative approval prior to implementation of the plan. FISCAL EFFECT unknown COMMENTS' 1)According to the author, this bill is intended to address five major problem areas in California's system of services for AB 896 Page 6 people with developmental disabilities by using existing - resources more creatively, generating new sources of funding, creating new opportunities for workers in the system, and improving services. These problems include: a) The current developmental disability system is, in fact, two unequal systems, with '3800 consumers residing in state-owned and -operated developmental centers and 166,000 residing in the community. The community system is seriously underfunded while the institutional system is overly expensive, consuming 25% of the total system budget for only 2.395 of the developmentally disabled population, at an average, annual cost of $165,0100 for each person. a) The 'state institutions are old and do not meet modern health and safety standards. A,report issued two years ago by Vanir and Associates, :a consultant to DDS, found that a $1.5 billion investment will be necessary to meet current seismic, environmental, and fire and life safety standards. If the state fails to upgrade the DCs, it mustdevelop alternatives to DC placements for future consumers or face huge potential liability. (Pursuant to legislation associated with the 2000 Budget Act, DDS has undertaken a study of options to meet the future needs of individuals who are similar to those currently residing in developmental` centers. That report,, due March 1, 2001, has not 'yet been released to the Legislature.) a) There is tremendous lack of parity.in the treatment of employees in state institutions and employees in community-based programs State workers receive much higher wages and a comprehensive benefit package, while http://www.leginfo.ca;gov/pub/bill/asm/ab .../ab 896 cfa 20010402 144616 asm comm.him 4/12/01 AB 896 Assembly Bill - Bill Analysis Page 6 of 9 u workers in community programs -- though they do essentially the same work - generally receive less than half, the state wages and few, if any, benefits. This seriously undermines the quality and availability of community programs. a) There is a severe shortage of affordable housing for people with developmental' disabilities who live in the community. This is particularly true in urban and suburban regions with a high cost of living, where the majority of the population resides. a) "Families who wish to care for their children at home frequently do not receive adequate support. As a result, AB 896 Page 7 their children are often transferred into more expensive and less desirable placements. Similarly, families whose children move into adulthood often face difficulties finding openings in appropriate residential and day programs due to a shortage of programs, particularly in high-cost areas of the state where' providers are going out of business and are not being replaced. 1)Supporters of the bill believe it takes an important first step toward vastly improving the developmental disability system by permitting funds to be used more 'flexibly and creating mechanisms and funds to improve community-based services. Moreover, they argue, the bill establishes a planning and transition process that addresses the physical decline of the state institutions,; provides safeguards for current residents, and maintains theresources associated' with the DCs for the benefit of the developmentally disabled .population. 2)Opponents of the bill, including families of persons living in state developmental centers and employees: of the centers, argue that individuals who reside in the developmental centers are generally more fragile than those in the community. DC residents, according to the opponents,, suffer physical, emotional, and mental needs that require comprehensive medical services and a concentration of skills and programs that are only provided in the developmental, centers and cannot be duplicated in the community. The opponents believe these residents would suffer risk of injury or death if they were forced to move due to downsizing or closure of the centers. They argue,that, in the past, when developmentally disabled persons were transferred to the community, many did not adjust to the new environment and lacked the necessary access to needed 'medical services. They also point to evidence of poor care in community settings, due to underfunding and inadequate supervision. '3)Supporters of the bill dispute these arguments, pointing to the successful transfer ofhundreds of DC residents that take place every year. Supporters agree that developmentally' http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/asm/ab .../ab 896 cfa 20010402 144616 asm comm.htm 4/12/01 • AB 896 Assembly Bill Bill Analysis Page 7 of 9 disabled residents are vulnerable, but argue they can suffer harm in developmental centers just as they can in other settings, and point to allegations of abuse and neglect within the developmental center system. They also point to individuals in successful community placements whose needs are AB 896 Page 8 as severe as those of many DC residents. 4)Staff at DDS has expressed concern about the process proposed in the bill of shifting funding to regional centers, fearing , it may undermine the fiscal integrity of the centers and their quality of service. They point out that nearly half the cost of caring for an individual in a developmental center is _fixed cost - the overhead costs for administration and operation of center -based services, such as state-run fire and police departments, in-house laundry and food service, maintenance services and groundskeepers for the extensive land around most of the centers. Until a center is closed, those costs continue to exist no matter how many residents live there and, according to DDS, could not easily be transferred to the regional center budget. DDS also states that even, the variable costs will not follow a'resident dollar-rfor-dollar because of federal restrictions on the use of Medi. -Cal funds. Further issues identified by DDS staff include:' a) The bill may not 'permit sufficient time to accomplish the DC closure that is required in the bill, which in the past has proven to take fully two years after placements have been found for all the residents. The bills deadline of December 31, 2003, may not allow for sufficient planning and transition time. a) The DC building and lands are owned by the state Department of General Services; not DDS, and the bill, as written, may not adequately ensure that the profits from any sale or lease of those assets would remain in the DDS budget or Lanterman Trust Fund. a) The bill permits a regional center to negotiate rates, including employee wages, with community-based providers in order to meet the needs of individuals moving out of developmental centers. This could result in providers in the same community receiving differential rates, and potentially, workers in the same program receiving differential wages This scenario could resultinthe continuation of a two-tiered system, but with both tiers in the community. a) The bill is not clear regarding the process by which DC residents will be assigned to regional centers.

This could place an inordinate burden on those regional centers. a) , The bill treats individuals committed to a developmental center by the court differently from other DC residents. However, virtually all DC residents have been placed pursuant to a court process. Therefore the author needs to clarify which court -committed individuals are intended to be treated differently.

SUMMARY: On April 3, 2001 a member of the City Council requested a review of the City Manager purchasing authority. At its June 1, 1999 meeting, the City Council adoptedOrdinance 2A, amending the City's purchasing system. The amendment increased the City, Manager's purchasing authority to $15,000 and the purchase order requirement for purchases to $500. At that time a survey of 18 cities was conducted to determine the average City Manager purchasing authority and the purchase order requirement. The survey revealed that the average City Manager purchasing authority was $21,250 and that average amount required for purchase orders was for purchases'$1600 or greater. On April 12, 2001, the City Council Finance Subcommittee reviewed the matter of the City Manager purchasing authority and an updated survey of other cities. The survey revealed that the average City Manager purchasing authority is now $25,000 and the average requirement for purchase orders is $1,370. Based on review and discussion of the current practices and the survey, the Finance Subcommittee recommends an increase to the City Manager's purchasing authority to $20,000 and an increase to the Purchase Order requirement to $1,000. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council review the City Manager purchasing authority policy and consider approval by fist reading, by title only, and waive full reading of Ordinance 2B (1995), "An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar Amending the Purchasing System.

The amendment increased the City Manager's purchasing authority to $15,000 and the purchase order requirement for purchases to $500. The amendment was at the recommendation of the Finance Subcommittee. At that time a survey of 18 cities was conducted to determine the, average City Manager purchasing authority and the purchase order requirement. The survey revealed that the average City Manager purchasing authority was $21,250 and that the average amount required for purchase orders was for purchases in excess of $1,600 The cities contacted in 1999 were once again surveyed for the same information. Some of the surveyed cities have changed their limits (previous limits if changed are in parenthesis). The City of Laguna Nigel stated that they are "planning to revisit their purchasing ordinance which should result in increasing many of the limits which are too low to justify the time and costs involved. There may, be other changes which may be beneficial in implementing GASB 34, but have not considered any at this time." Three of the surveyed cities do not have limits to the City Manager's purchasing authority. Taking an average of those cities with indicated limits, the average City Manager purchasing authority is $25,000 and the average purchase order requirement is $1,370. It is recommended that the Finance Subcommittee reviews and discusses the attached survey.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the Residential Street Centerline Striping Determination Policy. FINANCIAL SUMMARY: No financial impact. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In Fiscal Year 2000 - 2001 City Council Goals and Objectives, "Standardized Policy Regarding Striping of City Streets" was prioritized. This Policy is to provide guidance for City Staff, Traffic and Transportation Commission and City Council in the development and implementation of centerline striping on residential streets. Staff and the Traffic and Transportation Commission developed the draft policy and on November 9, 2000,, the draft` Residential Street Centerline Striping Determination Policy was unanimously recommended to the City Council for Approval This policy will aid in determining when centerline striping is appropriate for a residential street. It will also provide a consistent method by which to evaluate appropriateness of centerline striping- on a residential street. The policy establishes certain criteria that help .determine if centerline striping is appropriate and if it is, which type of centerline striping should be used (i.e., Single Broken Yellow or Double Yellow). The criteria which will be used in evaluating the appropriateness of a' centerline stripe includes such things as imminent sight concerns, speeds, street width, accident history and other unusual or unique conditions.' In areas where centerline striping already exists on residential streets, that centerline striping will remain and will not be subject to the criteria of this policy' until such time as the street will be reconstructed, resurfaced, or, Slurry Sealed. When a street is scheduled to be reconstructed,. resurfaced, or slurry sealed, the residents of the area will be notified that the 'striping will be reinstalled once the construction is completed, unless the residents of the area indicate that they desire the striping' eliminated. If a request is made to have the striping eliminated, ;the appropriateness of the striping will be evaluated based on, the criteria and procedure of the attached Residential Street Centerline Striping Determination Policy. If the centerline `striping is not appropriate based on the criteria the centerline striping will not be replaced. If it is determined that the centerline striping is appropriate, the striping will be restored. DRAFT CITY OF DIAMOND BAR RESIDENTIAL STREET CENTERLINE STRIPING DETERMINATION POLICY This policy governs centerline striping on local residential streets, as those streets are defined by California Vehicle Code ("CVC'-') Section 40802(b). General Policy Centerline striping on local residential streets may be approved when determined to be appropriatebased on the criteria set forth in this policy. Centerlines A yellow centerline separates traffic traveling in opposite directions. Centerlines assist motorists to remain on the correct side of the street. Centerlines may be continuous along a road or alternatively may be used intermittently to control the position of traffic at specific locations, such as around curves, over hills, and on approaches to intersections,' railroad crossings, and bridges. Centerline striping may be used to address various types of traffic safety issues including but not limited to the following: 1. Excessive speeding centerlines contribute to the illusion of street narrowing, which causes drivers to be less inclined to speed. 2. Head-on conflicts between vehicles on hilly streets centerlines encourage drivers to "keep right" as they traverse the crest of hills. 3. Head-on conflicts between vehicles on curvilinear streets — centerlines encourage drivers to "keep right as they traverse curves. Also, centerlines contribute to lower speeds, as they discourage drivers from "`cutting the corner." 4. Delineation at stop sign controlled intersections Short sections of centerlines on approaches to stop signs provide drivers with supplemental warning of the intersection control. 5. Channelization at intersections centerlines are required at locations where more than two lanes are striped. This typically occurs where lanes are designated for left or right turns. 6. Other locations where an engineering study indicates a need for them. Centerlines are ordinarily not needed on local residential streets. Nonetheless, centerline striping may be appropriate to address unusual vehicular traffic safety concerns on local residential streets as above described: 1 DRAFT Types of Center Longitudinal' Line Application 1. Single broken yellow line: two-lane, two-way roadway where overtaking and passing is permitted. Delineates left edge of traffic lane where travel on the other side of the line is in the opposite direction. 2. Double line (single broken yellow line and single yellow line): two-way roadways to regulate passing in one direction. Delineates a separation between traffic lanes in opposite directions where overtaking and passing is permitted with care for traffic adjacent to the broken line and is prohibited for traffic adjacent to the solid line. 3. Double line (two solid yellow lines): two -direction no -passing marking for two-lane streets. Delineates the separation between traffic lanes in opposite direction where overtaking and passing is prohibited in both directions. Crossing this marking with care is permitted only as part of aleft-turn maneuver. Procedure for Approving Centerlines on Local Residential Streets 1. Any resident may submit a request for centerline striping on a local residential street in addition, the City Council and the Traffic and Transportation Commission may initiate such a request. 2. In response to a request for centerline striping, the Public Works Division will conduct a field investigation, evaluate the appropriateness of ` a centerline at the requested location against the criteria set forth and make a recommendation on the request to the Traffic and Transportation Commission. 3. The Traffic and Transportation Commission will consider the recommendation as an agenda 'item at a regular meeting; residents on the affected street will be given mailed notice of the agenda item at least ten (10) days prior to the Commission meeting. 4. The Traffic and Transportation Commission is authorized to approve centerline striping on local residential streets that meet the criteria. Notice of centerline installation will be mailed to affected residents at least' thirty (30) days prior to installation: 5. Any decision of the Traffic and Transportation Commission may appealed, by any person; to the City Council. DRAFT Criteria for Approval of Centerlines on Local Residential Streets Centerlines may be approved on local residential streets if they meet the following criteria: CRITERIA SINGLE BROKEN DOUBLE (SINGLE DOUBLE (TWO YELLOW BROKEN SOLID YELLOW) YELLOW/SINGLE SOLID YELLOW Imminent Sight Concern Horizontal Curves X X Imminent Sight Concern — Vertical Curves X X *Observed Speeds: X X X 2 -Lane /2 -way Street Width ,= 36' Minimum X X X Three Reported Accidents (recent 24 month period) X X X Unusual/Unique Traffic Condition Unknown to X X X Motorists NOVEMBER 9 2000 PAGE 6 T&T COMMISSION V OLD BUSINESS: A.
