TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

TITLE: CITY OF DIAMOND BAR NEWSLETTER PRODUCTION OPTIONS
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the creation of an in-house monthly newsletter to be
mailed to all residents and businesses for an amount not to exceed $52,000.
Budget Implication:
The cost to produce an in-house publication is $51,030.60. For the 2002-2003 fiscal year, the
newsletter budget is $73,332. The total annual savings would be $22,301.40. Per the contract with
the Chamber of Commerce, that savings would be reduced by $12,000 for advertising in The View.
However, some of that could be offset by the existing advertising budget.
Background:
In the past, the City produced a quarterly newsletter, which combined City news with recreation
information. This 28 -page, 8.5" x 11" publication featured four pages of City news with the remaining
pages for recreation information. The front and back covers were full color, and the remaining pages
were spot color. The cost for this publication was $44,000 per year for 4 issues.
In January 2000, in an effort to increase communication with residents about City news and
information, the newsletter and recreation guide were separated, and a 1 -page, 7" x 10" full-color card
was distributed every other month at an annual cost of $26,000 for 6 issues.
In November 2001, the City partnered with the Chamber of Commerce's monthly publication, The
View, to produce and distribute news and information to the community. This arrangement has
allowed the City to distribute City news and information on a monthly basis as well as increase
distribution to include all businesses (approximately 1,000 more copies mailed) at an annual cost of
$73,332 for 12 issues.
In June 2002, in order to evaluate the options of partnering with local publications or producing an in-
house newsletter, the City Council directed staff to solicit bids for production of the City of Diamond
Bar newsletter. Two requests for proposals were sent out. The first one (Attachment A) addressed
specifications for a partner publication. The second one (Attachment B) addressed specifications that
City staff felt would be the most cost-effective and time -efficient format to produce in-house. Two
vendors responded to the Request for Proposal for a partner publication. Seven vendors responded
to the Request for Proposal for an "in-house" publication. Please refer to Attachment C for cost
comparisons.
Discussion:
The City's newsletter has undergone two major format changes in the past three years. Since our
responsibility is to provide the community with City news and information, the goal is to provide that
information in an easily recognizable and consistent manner.
Producing an in-house newsletter would accomplish the following:
Establish and maintain a consistent identity for the City's primary means of communication
with the community.
- Provide the community with an easily recognizable publication.
- Maximize the efficient use of staff time.
Give City staff more control over deadlines and delivery dates.
- Reduce overall costs.
While partnering with another publication can be cost-effective, there are other factors to consider
such as effective use of staff time, issues related to sub -contractors, timeliness of delivery due to dual
deadlines, and duplication of stories. The City's newsletter also runs the risk of being overlooked by
residents when it's combined with another publication. All of these factors affect the City of Diamond
Bar image as well as the integrity of the City's communications with the community.
An in-house newsletter is more customer -service oriented, and reflects the City Council goal of
improving communications with citizens and enhancing customer service.

CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION
AUGUST 6, 2002
STUDY SESSION: Mayor Chang called the Study Session to order at
5:10 p.m. in the SCAQMD/Government Center, Room CC -8.
1) Presentation Regarding Aera Energy Project
2) Discussion regarding Contents of Library Survey
Present: Council Members Herrera, Zirbes, Mayor Pro Tem
O'Connor and Mayor Chang. Council Member Huff arrived at 6:00 p.m.
Also present were: Linda Lowry, City Manager; Mike Jenkins, City
Attorney; James DeStefano, Deputy City Manager; David Doyle; Deputy City Manager;
David Liu, Public Works Director; Bob Rose, Community Services Director; Linda
Magnuson, Finance Director; Tommye Cribbins, Assistant City Clerk; Sr. Administrative
Assistant; Todd Strojny, and April Blakey, Public Information Manager,
Presentation Regarding Aera Energy Project — Bruce Hurst and George
Basye with Aera Energy, LLC made a PowerPoint presentation regarding their
proposed master development plan. The plan includes open space, connections
for the wildlife corridor, 100 homes, golf course fairways and sports complex.
The entire project surrounds both sides of the 57 freeway and includes both LA
and Orange Counties. The 100 homes proposed will be housed on 300 acres
south of the D.B. City limits and inside the City's sphere of influence.
C/Herrera asked what the public reaction has been to the proposed project.
Mr. Basye responded that the primary issues of concern relate to traffic and
biology. Traffic solutions will be determined by the studies that have not yet been
conducted. The Environmental Impact will analyze a number of different project
alternatives. In the meantime, Aera is attempting to produce one environmental
report document with the two counties working together and to create a
comprehensive specific plan for the entire project. The phasing of the project will
be determined through ongoing studies with regard to infrastructure.
Responding to MPT/O'Connor, Mr. Basye indicated that Aera would be pleased
to arrange a tour for anyone who is interested.
2. Discussion regarding Contents of Library Survey — DCM/Doyle distributed a
draft of a 400 -call phone survey to gather voter data regarding the prospect of
constructing and operating a new library.
In reply to C/Herrera, DCM/Doyle indicated that Question #23 will be revised.
In response to MPT/O'Connor, DCM/Doyle said that not all of the survey
questions were necessary for the Library Bond Act purposes.
AUGUST 6, 2002 PAGE 2 CC STUDY SESSION
MPT/O'Connor saw no reason for the first question and asked staff to find
out the purpose of that particular question.
C/Huff thought it might be prudent to gauge the census of the community
regarding slope maintenance during this survey.
CM/Lowry reported that another city that is doing a library project at this
time and has applied for the bonds put the matter on the ballot so that in
the event they do not get the bond money they would not build the library.
Is that the type of condition this Council is interested in placing on this
project?
C/Huff thought that concept was valid. If you force people to be decisive
they will have to be realistic in their response.
CM/Lowry pointed out that the survey should create a scenario of options
in order to get a better feel from the community about what they are willing
to do.
CIHuff said that a survey could reveal whether the community is willing to
pay $70 per parcel for a swimming pool at which point the Council would
have to decide whether it was willing to scrap the library plan and build a
swimming pool.
M/Chang did not want open-ended questions that might lead to
consideration of other items at the cost of a library.
DCM/Doyle indicated to C/Herrera that the maximum survey time is 18
minutes with a typical time ranging between 12 and 18 minutes.
C/Herrera agreed with CIHuff that too many options would confuse the
issue. The Council wants to know if the community is willing to financially
support a library and to what degree — 100% of the cast, 50% of the cost,
annual maintenance, etc.
MlChang felt the City could absorb the $6,000,000 cost to build the library.
The question is whether the community would be willing to pay for ongoing
costs to operate the facility.
C/Huff would like to have an answer to all of the questions but he felt it
would be confusing to include all of the items in the survey.
CM/Lowry asked Council to tell staff what it wants to do so that the survey
can be properly directed.
C/Herrera would like the community to assist with funding to build the
facility.
AUGUST 6, 2002 PAGE 3 CC STUDY SESSION
C/Zirbes would like to know if the community actually wants a library. If
the survey reveals that the majority believes the current facility is large
enough, there is no need to go further.
The Council concurred with the following:
1) No questions regarding other public facilities will be included in the
survey.
2) Agree to use the City's General Fund to build the library (creating a
community partnership) and condition the building of the library
upon the passage of the maintenance bond.
MPT/O'Connor asked to have the survey consultant present for the next
study session.
ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business to conduct, M/Chang adjourned
the study session at 6:38 p.m.

6.10 ADOPTED RESOLUTION NO. 2002-60 ESTABLISHING A ONE-YEAR
MORATORIUM ON THE INSTALLATION OF SPEED HUMPS.
C/Huff stated that an empirical field test reveals that speed humps do not
appear to slow cars down. He asked staff to check with the City of Pomona
regarding the speed humps located in the Phillips Ranch area off of Village
Loop Rd. He favored speed humps and believed the moratorium would give
the City an opportunity to assess their height and effectiveness.
C/Huff moved, C/Herrera seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 2002-60
establishing a one-year moratorium on the installation of speed humps.
Following discussion, the motion was carried by the following Roll Call vote:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Herrera, Huff, Zirbes
NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - MPT/O'Connor, M/Chang

7. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
7.1 CONSIDERATION OF FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 07(2002)
CONSIDERING ZONE CHANGE FROM PLANNED COMMERCIAL
DEVELOPMENT (CPD) TO C2 AND C3 FOR THE DIAMOND BAR
VILLAGE/KMART PARCELS AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE N0.2002-7
— presentation by DCM/DeStefano.
M/Chang re -opened the Public Hearing.
Martha Bruske again asked why there is a need for a zone change and what
C2 and C3 designations mean and what are examples of C2 and C3 zones.
For some reason, the businesses in The Village and KMart centers have
been allowed to deteriorate. She did not understand why those property
owners should be rewarded for having shabby storefronts. She expressed
concern about excess traffic and gridlock in the area of Golden Springs Dr.
and D.B. Blvd. created by allowing "big box" stores. She hoped the City acts
wisely and in the best interest of its residents with respect to this decision.
Marie Buckland asked if the City was aware of crime statistics related to the
operation of cyber cafes.
Espy Mehta, 24325 E. Summitridge Ct., felt that businesses did not want to
August 6, 2002 PAGE 5 CITY COUNCIL
locate in the area due to the lack of parking. What are the benefits to
creating a C2 zone and what is wrong with the businesses that currently exist
in the center. Specifically, what kind of business would benefit the City and
its residents.
There being no further testimony offered, M/Chang closed the Public
Hearing.
DCM/DeStefano again explained that the types of businesses that would be
permitted within the KMart Center in the event of a C3 zone change would
include Regional Commercial, businesses that are intended to draw
customers from beyond the limits of the City. Accordingly, a C3 zone is most
appropriate along the freeway corridors. The current C3 zones within the
City are the Honda Dealership and area uses such as Burger King, etc. C3
is also found at the four corners of the intersection of D.B. Blvd and Grand
Ave. He further stated that C2 zoning is similar to the C3 zoning but does not
allow for automobile sales and rental and warehouse type uses. Many uses
within C2 and C3 zoning require a Conditional Use Permit that involves the
Planning Commission and Public Hearing process. Other uses within C2 and
C3 zoning require City review, either at the administrative or Planning
Commission level.
C/Herrera pointed out that a large number of vacancies exist in The Village.
It is Council's hope that by changing the zoning, businesses will be
stimulated to locate in that area. No one is proposing a "big box" or change -
out of current businesses.
ClHerrera moved, C/Huff seconded, to approve first reading of Ordinance
No. 07(2002) consideration of Zone Change from Planned Commercial
Development (CPD to C2 and C3 for the D.B. Village/KMart parcels. Motion
carried by the following Roll Call vote:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Herrera, Huff, Zirbes, MPT/O'Connor,
M/Chang
NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None
ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None
C/Zirbes asked how the zone change would effect businesses such as the
D.B. Washer & Dryer Repair.
DCM/DeStefano stated that those businesses would continue as legal non-
conforming for as long as they wish. However, if they wanted to expand the
non -conforming use, they would not be permitted to do so within the
proposed zone. He explained that if Council approves the zone change, the
cyber cafe would need to apply for a mandatory Conditional Use Permit. He
confirmed to C/Zirbes that a zone change to C3 at the KMart Center would
open up the possibility of greater revenue producing types of businesses
such as Home Depot or Best Buy.
August 6, 2002 PAGE 6 CITY COUNCIL
In reply to MPT/O'Connor, DCM/DeStefano confirmed that the veterinary
clinic and washer & dryer repair concerns could sell their business as they
are currently configured and remain legal non -conforming as long as they did
not seek to expand.
Responding to C/Herrera, DCM/DeStefano explained that staff and the
Planning Commission felt that the types of uses found in the C2 zone were
better suited for the Diamond Village location. However, Council may choose
to rezone the property to include C3. The property owner for Diamond
Village attended the Planning Commission's Public Hearing and did not
speak at that point. He later telephoned staff to indicate his support for the
Planning Commission's conclusion. In addition, staff spoke with the
McDonald's property owner and he too, indicated his support. All property
owners were notified of the potential change and staff has received no
comment one way or the other except from the two property owners
previously mentioned.
C/Chang opened the Public Hearing.
MPT/O'Connor moved, C/Zirbes seconded, to continue the Public Hearing
to August 20, 2002. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Herrera, Huff, Zirbes, MPT/O'Connor,
M/Chang
NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None
ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None
7.2 CONSIDERATION OF RECOMMENDATION BY LAW ENFORCEMENT

GRANT FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $43,831 (INCLUSIVE OF THE
REQUIRED 10% MATCHING AMOUNT OF $4,383 FROM THE CITY) FOR
FY 2002-03 — presentation by Lt. Maxey.
M/Chang opened the Public Hearing.
There being no testimony offered, M/Chang closed the Public Hearing.
C/Herrera moved, MPT/O'Connor seconded, to approve the recommendation
by the Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) Advisory Board for
expenditure of grant funds in the amount of $43,831 (inclusive of the required
10% matching amount of $4,383 from the City) for FY 2002-03. Motion

DIAMOND BAR COMMUNITY FOUNDATION.
Ling -Ling Chang introduced herself and said she looked forward to serving
on the Foundation Board.
C/Zirbes said he was very impressed with Ms. Chang's application and
presentation.
C/Zirbes moved, C/Herrera seconded, to approve appointment of Ling -Ling
Chang to the D.B. Community Foundation. Motion carried by the following
Rall Call vote:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Herrera, Huff, Zirbes, MPT/O'Connor,
M/Chang
NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None
ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None
MPT/O'Connor welcomed Ling -Ling Chang and looked forward to her
attendance at the next Foundation meeting on August 15.
9. COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS/ COUNCIL MEMBER COMMENTS:
ClHerrera said that despite tonight's lively debate, all Council Members are deeply
concerned about traffic issues and speeding vehicles on the City's streets. She
believed the residents wanted thoughtful decisions from their Council Members.
She was very pleased that the groundbreaking ceremonies for the new
Community/Senior Center took place yesterday, moving forward with a concept that
began in 1998 with a task force appointed to collect community input. She thanked
staff and in particular DCM/Doyle for coordinating this project.
C/Huff stated that since the last City Council meeting, he had attended several
meetings including Alameda Corridor East, Foothill Transit Board, a transportation
conference in San Diego and the unveiling of Foothill Transit's CNG (Compressed
Natural Gas) station. Council adopts many policies that are generally introduced by
staff. While the Mayor may exercise grace or latitude in enforcing this policy, the
Council chooses the Mayor and the Mayor is responsible for running the Council
Meeting's in accordance with those policies. Regarding tonight's speed hump
policy, he attempted to follow these policies and lengthy discussion ensued because
policy was not followed. The Mayor wished to speak and in order not to be
argumentative, he conceded. However, he believed Council Members should be
cognizant of the rules governing the Council so that business meetings can move
forward in an orderly manner. If Council does not intend to follow the current
policies, they should be changed so that Council Members are comfortable with
protocol.
August 6, 2002 PAGE 8 CITY COUNCIL
C/Zirbes pointed out that D.B. has been a City for only 13 years but has been a
community for several decades and has waited generations to enjoy a facility like
the one that is currently commencing construction. The community can be very
proud of this facility, one that will serve the public for many years in the future. He
thanked Mrs. Ansari for her efforts toward the building of this structure. Since the
last Council meeting, he had worked on a variety of issues including the
Neighborhood Improvement Committee. He thanked staff for the recent edition of
the City News. He especially enjoyed the "more effective street sweeping means
a cleaner environment" article. He welcomed C/Herrera and MPT/O'Connor back
from their recent adventures. He offered MPT/O'Connor condolences on the loss
of her brother-in-law.
MPT/O'Connor stated that because of the extra week between Council meetings,
she and her family were able to enjoy a Caribbean Cruise. She returned relaxed
and refreshed and ready to move forward. She congratulated Robert Arcero on
receiving the recognition rightfully due him for his service during WWII. She felt that
the City should reinstate its tree removal policy. Three old-growth ficus trees had
to be removed from her neighborhood to accommodate sidewalk repair and the
removal has left her neighborhood with a devastating loss. She felt the City should
mitigate root damage and work to save old-growth trees. She asked that tonight's
meeting be adjourned in memory of her husband's younger brother, Gerald
O'Connor.
M/Chang agreed with C/Herrera that although Council Members do not always
agree, they are all concerned about the community. He once again stated he felt
that the speed hump issued had been sufficiently studied and that implementation
should not be further delayed by imposition of a moratorium. Studies show that
speed humps are effective and slow speeding traffic. In his opinion, the decision
to delay the speed hump policy further was not right. This matter should have died
at the last meeting when the vote was 2-2. He did not want to put the City Attorney
on the spot about how the meeting should be conducted because it has been done
the same for the past 13 years. He is not planning to change the way he conducts
meetings. He attended the JPIA board meeting, participated in the LEAP program,
worked on the Neighborhood Improvement committee, attended the parole officers'
week celebration, the Chinese-American Construction Professional annual meeting,
dragon boat racing, and the YMCA board meeting. He encouraged the community
to participate in Read Together Diamond Bar in October. This morning, he attended
the CITT opening. He encouraged everyone to purchase a commemorative tile from
the Community Foundation to support the new Community/Senior Center.
DCM/Doyle informed Council that due to advice from a resident watching tonight's
telecast, he and staff member April Blakey were able to adjust the sound system to
insure that at least the public hearing portion of tonight's meeting was audibly
acceptable. Staff will continue to monitor this matter.

CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION
AUGUST 20, 2002
STUDY SESSION: Mayor Chang called the Study Session to order at
5:40 p.m. in the SCAQMD/Government Center, Room CC -8.
Discussion of Library Survey — Presentation given by John Fairbank from the firm
of Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin & Associates.
Present: Council Members Herrera, Huff, Zirbes, Mayor Pro
Tem O'Connor and Mayor Chang.
Also present were: Linda Lowry, City Manager; Mike Jenkins, City
Attorney; James DeStefano, Deputy City Manager; David Doyle, Deputy City Manager;
David Liu, Public Works Director; Bob Rose, Community Services Director; Linda
Magnuson, Finance Director; Lynda Burgess, City Clerk; Linda Smith, Development
Services Assistant and Sharon Gomez, Management Analyst.
Discussion regarding Contents of Library Survey -- Presentation by John Fairbank,
Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin & Associates.
In response to MPT/O'Connor, DCM/Doyle responded to MPT/O'Connor that in order to
determine whether the voters would agree to support the ongoing operating costs, the
survey would have to be done in March 2003.
Mr. Fairbank said that a special March election would generate a very low voter turnout.
MPT/O'Connor asked if measures such as this pass or do not pass.
Mr. Fairbank responded that the survey would likely give an indication as to whether or
not the voters would pass the bond for ongoing operating costs. For library bonds, it is
generally helpful to have a higher voter turnout. Democrats would be more likely to
support this and households that have voters with children in them (under age 50). D.B.
has a conservative electorate — an older and more conservative electorate, more
Republicans — Republicans are the toughest to get to pass any parcel tax. Most of the
measures that have passed have been primarily bond measures — school bonds, library
bonds, etc. If there were a 20% voter turn out for an election next March, he would
probably suggest that the City conduct a larger sample. If the results came back that
44% would support a parcel tax in a special election, he would likely advise the Council
not to get on that ballot because it is too far from 2/3 to jump 20-25 points. If the
Council is on a fast track, the outside ballot might be March 2004. At least start with an
electorate that is going to be considerably higher in turnout than a special election in
March 2003. The March 2004 major election would likely result in a 50% turnout
whereas the March 2003 would result in a 20% turnout.
AUGUST 20, 2002 PAGE 2 CC STUDY SESSION
C/Zirbes objected to referring to a D.B. Public Library in the survey. He felt the survey
should refer to public library services.
Mr. Fairbank and DCM/Doyle said that the survey should focus on the City's library and
not some other regional facility.
Mr. Fairbank asked if, in the event the state refused to fund the library, the Council
would want to include questions related to the condition of the current library and the
need for a new facility in addition to the service questions.
C/Zirbes was concerned that the length of the survey was too long. He felt it should be
limited to 18 minutes or less.
DCM/Doyle said that the lowest amount (Question #9) for an annual tax levy could be
$30.
Mr. Fairbank suggested that the question should be whether voters would support a
$70, $50 or $30 per parcel levy.
C/Huff thought the survey should point out that library experts say that D.B. should have
a 27,000 square foot facility.
CA/Jenkins agreed that figure of 9,000 and 21,000 are meaningless to someone who
does not understand how much library space a community of a certain size would have
to have.
DCM/Doyle wondered whether it mattered that the survey specified whether the money
to build the library came from the state or the City.
Mr. Fairbank felt that if the money came from the state, the voters would more likely be
willing to support ongoing costs.
MPT/O'Connor believed that if the state funded construction of the library, then voters
would feel the City should pay for ongoing costs.
ClZirbes asked whether it might be more palatable to property owners to equate the $60
to $5 per month.
DCM/Doyle wondered whether it might skew the survey results if the survey incorrectly
referred to a monthly amount when the actual levy was based on an annual amount.
Discussion ensued.
When C/Herrera said that some people might be offended by the term "homemaker" Mr.
Fairbank said that he might be able to cut that question (#23) from the survey.
Council concurred to have Mr. Fairbank's firm revise the survey according to input
received at this study session.

Superintendent of Facilities, regarding the opening of Pantera Elementary

2. CITY MANAGER REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: None Offered.
3. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Allen Wilson was confused as to why a newspaper article
termed a CDBG grant a "loan" to the City by the County Board of Supervisors. He
also did not know that the City needed a $4,000,000 loan. He thought the D.B.
Community/Senior Center was fully funded by the City. According to the San
Gabriel Valley Tribune, the project is now $12,000,000 instead of $8.5 million. Is it
true that if D.B. had a redevelopment agency it would not need this loan? He asked
for clarification of these matters.
Abdul Sadat was concerned about adoption of a multi -way stop sign at Goldrush and
Chandelle Dr., an intersection that is at the bottom of a hill. He felt that a stop sign
would not help to slow down the traffic because drivers would have to rapidly
accelerate to get up the hill. In his opinion, this would cause noise and air pollution.
He asked Council to reconsider their decision.
Clyde Hennessee was concerned about possible criminal behavior in conjunction
with computer and game arcades. He was pleased to read that residents can park
on their streets as soon as the street sweeper passes by on the day after trash
pickup. He was also concerned about ballot bond issues costing the citizens
additional tax.
Martha Bruske felt the City should be more proactive in fighting graffiti and should
prevent graffiti covered vehicles from entering the City. She wanted to know what
the City's zero tolerance for graffiti meant and asked for regular reports from staff
or the Sheriff's Department on the status of graffiti in Diamond Bar.
Marie Buckland asked why the Council appointed a non-resident to a
Commission/committee in February. She was also aware of at least two other non-
residents serving on Commissions/Committees.
Mary Matson asked that the zone change not be adopted. The PC Clubs are
nothing but a breeding place for gangs, shootings, killings, etc. D.B. has gangs and
she didn't believe these types of business should be permitted in the City.
Donald Sizemore spoke about the proposed multi -way stop signs at Gold Rush and
Chandelle Dr. He would prefer the Council consider other options. If the signs are
supposed to slow down traffic, there are other ways to go about taking care of this.
If the installation was proposed for safety reasons, he would concur. Residents
AUGUST 20, 2002 PAGE 3 CITY COUNCIL
hoped that the Botts dots previously installed on Gold Rush Dr. would slow the traffic
but they serve no purpose and only create noise.
RESPONSE TO PUBLIC COMMENT:
CM/Lowry explained the Section 108 loan issue. The $8.5 million estimate is the
best estimate at this time. Council authorized staff to prepare an application for
funding through CDBG to fund a portion of the CommunitylSenior Center. Based
upon the number of square feet being restricted for use by seniors, approx. 20%
could be funded through a CDBG loan that allows the City to borrow the money and
pay it back over a 15 -year period. With regard to the question of whether a
Redevelopment Agency would provide funds for the Community/Senior Center or
library, CM/Lowry explained that there might have been ways for the City to use
these types of funds creatively toward such facilities.
DPW/Liu explained the process for considering an intersection to be a candidate for
an all way stop. Safety is a predominant issue of such an investigation.
In response to Mrs. Bruske, CM/Lowry explained that the City takes pictures and
inventories the graffiti for law enforcement and then immediately removes the
graffiti.

7. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
7.1 ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2002-62 FINDING THE CITY TO BE 1N
CONFORMANCE WITH THE CONGESTION- MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
(CMP) AND ADOPTING THE CMP LOCAL IMPLEMENTATION REPORT.
M/Chang declared the Public Hearing open.
Martha Bruske felt the City should address traffic problems citywide instead
of using a band aid approach. She cited several examples including the
matter of poorly located bus stops including the one on the easterly side of
Grand Ave. on Golden Springs Dr.
There being no further testimony offered, M/Chang closed the Public
Hearing.
At the request of MPT/O'Connor, DPW/Liu explained that the Congestion
Management Program was mandated by the state legislature to address
traffic issues throughout the state. D.B. has experienced numerous traffic
problems for many years and the City has short term as well as long term
goals to address these issues. The primary traffic problem in D.B. is a
regional issue and the City is seeking interim and permanent solutions.
MPT/O'Connor agreed with Mrs. Bruske about the problem of traffic
congestion at the bus stop on the easterly side of Grand Ave. on Golden
Springs Dr. and asked staff to look into this matter. She felt that moving the
bus stop to the opposite side of the driveway behind the Mobil Station would
help traffic flow.
Moved by C/Herrera, seconded by C/Zirbes to adopt Resolution 2002-62.
Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Herrera, Huff, Zirbes, MPT/O'Connor,
Mayor Chang

storm drains.
Marie Buckland asked what is to be done with the water from above ground
pools. How many above ground pools and spas exist in D.B. and how are
they monitored.
Clyde Hennessee spoke in favor of adopting the Ordinance.

NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None
ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None
9. COUNCIL_ SUB -COMMITTEE REPORTS! COUNCIL MEMBER COMMENTS:
C/Zirbes thanked CSD/Rose and his staff for a great "Concerts in the Park" series
this year. The new D.B. Honda sign is under construction and is not nearly as
obtrusive as many people thought it would be. It is an attractive sign and
DCMIDeStefano and the Planning staff should be thanked for making certain that
a properly revised version of the sign was approved. During the first week of issuing
courtesy citations for street sweeping violations nearly 2,000 were issued. A month
later, the number of citations was reduced to under 1,000. He reminded residents
that beginning September 16, citations would carry a $50 fine. He concurred with
MPT/O'Connor about the dangerous bus stop on Golden Springs Dr. He thanked
Mrs. Bruske for bringing the matter to the attention of the Council.
C/Huff said he was at a loss about a speaker's comment regarding a non-resident
serving on a committee. If it was addressed toward the Public Safety Committee,
that is a construct of the Sheriff's Department, not the Council. If the Council is not
following the rules set up by the Sheriffs Department, they should be corrected. On
August 13, the MTA unveiled its regional pass that provides transportation anywhere
within the LA Public Transit System. He reported on Dexter MacBride's recap of
the Vector meeting and the West Nile Virus discussion. As President of Foothill
Transit, he will be meeting tomorrow with the Executive Director for a briefing on the
upcoming meeting. He said he would discuss the bus stop that was referred to in
tonight's meeting.
C/Herrera thanked CSD/Rose and his staff for the fabulous "Concerts in the Park"
series beginning with the 4th of July celebration and ending with the wonderful Elvis
impersonator. She acknowledged the traffic concerns on the Gold Rush Dr., a very
AUGUST 20, 2002 PAGE 7 CITY COUNCIL
steep street. She suggested that staff consider placing islands in the middle of the
street like those seen on a very steep Mar Vista Dr. in Whittier.
MPT/O'Connor spent much of the past four weeks on family business and was not
too active in the City's business. The D.B. Community Foundation Board recently
voted to provide other community organizations an opportunity to fundraise by
selling tiles for the new Community/Senior Center. She thanked staff for placing a
notice about the tiles on the front page of the City News in August. She encouraged
everyone to participate and purchase commemorative tiles. In addition to the current
offering, the Foundation is now offering tile arrays. Anyone interested in purchasing
an array should call 861-0090. She stated that her understanding about residents
or non residents serving on Commissions or Committees is that the Public Safety
Committee does not have a requirement that members be a resident of D.B. All of
the City's Commissions require members to be residents of D.B. She said she
would follow up with Mrs. Buckland to determine whether non-residents are
improperly serving on City Commissions or Committees.
M/Chang was pleased that the D.B. Community Foundation was offering tile arrays
for sale. He too, thought the "Concerts in the Park" series were great events. Staff
member Kim Crews proposed an evaluation of the concerts. 285 evaluation cards
were collected at the last concert. The result is that residents are very pleased with
the program. He thanked residents for their input and suggestions for
improvements. The annexation subcommittee (M/Chang and C/Herrera) met to
discuss annexation of certain areas into the City. He presented a City Tile to the
Taiwan Prime Minister at a recent ceremony in L.A.. He attended the Pacific Crest
Drum and Bugle Corps in Division I competition. He congratulated them for their
dedication and commitment. This morning he attended new teacher orientation at
the Pomona Unified School District. More than 200 new teachers have joined the
district.

Superintendent of Facilities, regarding the opening of Pantera Elementary
School for the 2002-2003 school year.
2. CITY MANAGER REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: None Offered.
3. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Allen Wilson was confused as to why a newspaper article
termed a CDBG grant a "loan" to the City by the County Board of Supervisors. He
also did not know that the City needed a $4,000,000 loan. He thought the D.B.
Community/Senior Center was fully funded by the City. According to the San
Gabriel Valley Tribune, the project is now $12,000,000 instead of $8.5 million. Is it
true that if D.B. had a redevelopment agency it would not need this loan? He asked
for clarification of these matters.
Abdul Sadat was concerned about adoption of a multi -way stop sign at Goldrush and
Chandelle Dr., an intersection that is at the bottom of a hill. He felt that a stop sign
would not help to slow down the traffic because drivers would have to rapidly
accelerate to get up the hill. In his opinion, this would cause noise and air pollution.
He asked Council to reconsider their decision.
Clyde Hennessee was concerned about possible criminal behavior in conjunction
with computer and game arcades. He was pleased to read that residents can park
on their streets as soon as the street sweeper passes by on the day after trash
pickup. He was also concerned about ballot bond issues costing the citizens
additional tax.
Martha Bruske felt the City should be more proactive in fighting graffiti and should
prevent graffiti covered vehicles from entering the City. She wanted to know what
the City's zero tolerance for graffiti meant and asked for regular reports from staff
or the Sheriff's Department on the status of graffiti in Diamond Bar.
Marie Buckland asked why the Council appointed a non-resident to a
Commission/committee in February. She was also aware of at least two other non-
residents serving on Commissions/Committees.
Mary Matson asked that the zone change not be adopted. The PC Clubs are
nothing but a breeding place for gangs, shootings, killings, etc. D.B. has gangs and
she didn't believe these types of business should be permitted in the City.
Donald Sizemore spoke about the proposed multi -way stop signs at Gold Rush and
Chandelle Dr. He would prefer the Council consider other options. If the signs are
supposed to slow down traffic, there are other ways to go about taking care of this.
If the installation was proposed for safety reasons, he would concur. Residents
AUGUST 20, 2002 PAGE 3 CITY COUNCIL
hoped that the Botts dots previously installed on Gold Rush Dr. would slow the traffic
but they serve no purpose and only create noise.
RESPONSE TO PUBLIC COMMENT:
CM/Lowry explained the Section 108 loan issue. The $8.5 million estimate is the
best estimate at this time. Council authorized staff to prepare an application for
funding through CDBG to fund a portion of the Community/Senior Center. Based
upon the number of square feet being restricted for use by seniors, approx. 20%
could be funded through a CDBG loan that allows the City to borrow the money and
pay it back over a 15 -year period. With regard to the question of whether a
Redevelopment Agency would provide funds for the Community/Senior Center or
library, CM/Lowry explained that there might have been ways for the City to use
these types of funds creatively toward such facilities.
DPW/Liu explained the process for considering an intersection to be a candidate for
an all way stop. Safety is a predominant issue of such an investigation.
In response to Mrs. Bruske, CM/Lowry explained that the City takes pictures and
inventories the graffiti for law enforcement and then immediately removes the
graffiti.

1.1 Approval of Regular Meeting Minutes of June 27, 2002.
C/Grundy moved, C/Lyons seconded, to approve the minutes of the June
27, 2002 meeting as presented. Without objection, the motion was so
ordered, with Chair/Torres and VC/Hull abstaining.
2. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
2.1 Recreation Program Report — by RS/West.
VC/Hull said that although he was unable to attend the 4t' of July
celebration, everyone he talked with reported that the event was a great
success. He believes it is one of the best community events sponsored by
the City.
JULY 25, 2002 PAGE 2 P&R COMMISSION
RS/West stated that Kim Crews was primarily responsible for planning and
executing a wonderful event and should receive special recognition.
Chair/Torres thought this year's event exceeded last year's event.
CSD/Rose indicated to VC/Hull that this matter would be placed on a future
agenda for discussion after completion of a thorough survey and evaluation.
C/Lyons felt the event was excellent and that a large cross-section of the
community was present as well as, more food vendors. She pointed out
that there are insufficient bathroom facilities for the women at this type of
community event. She felt that the use of the porta-potties would increase
if the City provided a portable sink. In addition, she felt it would be more
effective to convert all of the bathrooms into women's facilities and have the
men use the porta-potties.
VC/Hull and Chair/Torres thought C/Lyons' suggestion was a good idea.
Chair/Torres recommended handicapped porta-potties be included.
Commissioner's Grundy and Lui thought the 4t' of July was well presented.
Commission Lui agreed that the one area of concern was the bathroom
facilities.
2.2 C.I.P. Program Report — CSD/Rose presented staffs reports on the following
items:
a. Community/Senior Center
CSD/Rose reported that construction is underway. The park is closed
during grading and possibly during facility construction. The plans
and specifications for the community center are undergoing final
scrutiny and that portion of the project will go out to bid early August
with award of contract in September. The project is moving forward
on schedule.
b. Sycamore Canyon Park ADA Retrofit project
CSD/Rose reported that Phase I was completed at the beginning of
July. Notice of Completion was filed with the County recorder's
office. The Phase II design its pending.
3. OLD BUSINESS: None
4. NEW BUSINESS:
4.1 Sports Field Light Usage Violations
VCIHull and C/Grundy presented their reports. The Ad Hoc Committee
JULY 25, 2002 PAGE 3 P&R COMMISSION
recommends the following penalty for misuse of the ballfield lights: Penalty
for the first (1St) offense is proposed to be $250. Subsequent violations in
the same calendar year are proposed to be $500 per occurrence.
C/Lyons felt it was a good idea to impose a penalty. She asked if the user
groups would sign a document that outlined the policy, if imposed.
CSD/Rose said that staff spoke with the City's Attorney about this matter.
In his opinion, it is legal to impose a fine. The only way to support
enforcement is to have a signed written agreement with each organization
that would be bound by this rule.
VC/Hull agreed that the proposed fine was a lot of money. The Ad Hoc
Committee wanted an amount sufficient to insure compliance. Chair/Torres
concurred.
VC/Hull moved, C/Lyons seconded, to recommend City Council approval of
penalties for misuse of the ball field lights as recommended by the Ad Hoc
Committee. Without objection, the motion was so ordered.
5. ANNOUNCEMENTS: C/Lui explained that engraved bricks could be purchased
in the amount of $100 or $200 from the Diamond Bar Community Foundation to be
placed at the new CommunitylSenior Center at Summitridge Park. He stated that
members of the Chinese community want to participate and would like to have their
names engraved in Chinese because there is no exact translation from Chinese
to English.
VC/Hull indicated that the manufacturer has no source for providing the Chinese
characters. The Foundation is still researching the matter and has not decided
which company would be awarded the contract.
C/Grundy said he was concerned that any deviation would result in other special
requests.
Chair/Torres recommended the Foundation find another vendor to accommodate
the diversity of the community.
VC/Hull suggested C/Lui attend the next Foundation meeting and present his case
during public comments. The next meeting is August 15, 2002 in Room CC -8.
C/Grundy suggested that the presentation not be geared toward any particular
group.
C/Lyons stated she would be on vacation and not present for the August 22
meeting. She asked if staff would provide notice to her about the next birthday
party meeting.
VC/Hull asked why the cages are missing from the Coca-Cola machines.
CSD/Rose explained that the City's agreement with Coca-Cola leaves this matter
to the discretion of Coca-Cola. Staff complained about accumulation of debris in
JULY 25, 2002 PAGE 4 P&R COMMISSION
the cages and Coca-Cola representatives felt that since the rash of vandalism had

9. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS: DCM/DeStefano stated that during recent study
session, the City Council discussed overall City beautification. One of the components of the
discussions is code enforcement of hillside slopes that abut major boulevards. Of particular
concern is the slope area on the opposite side of Diamond Bar Boulevard from Lorbeer
Middle School as well as, north Diamond Bar Boulevard from Highland Valley to Temple
Avenue. Council directed staff to develop a code amendment to supplement existing code
requirements and strengthen the landscape maintenance irrigation provisions. Council is
exploring alternate methods for dealing with this issue on the public side. This matter will
likely come before the PIanning Commission in the not too distant future. Additionally,
there is growing concern and desire to modify the City's sign ordinance regarding political
signs and signs that display foreign language characters.
DCM/DeStefano reported that in response to a recent request by C/Nelson and the Planning
Commission, staff has provided the Planning Commission with information regarding the
Tree Ordinance. In addition, staff provided an excerpt from the City's General Plan that
speaks to the issue of "protection and preservation of certain types of native trees as well as,
naturalized California Pepper and significant trees of cultural or historical value. The
development code, a companion document to the General flan, addresses the issue of
preservation and maintenance of these species of trees. Staff indicated the matter would be
agendized for the next Commission meeting.
C/Nolan asked if staff could provide the approximate number of various species that are left
remaining in the city and why these species are at issue.
DCM/DeStefano advised Commissioners that a Planning Commissioners workshop,
sponsored by the Inland Empire division of the American Planning Association will -be held
on Thursday, August 22 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
10. SCHEDULE OF FUTURE EVENTS:

TITLE: Approval of Maintenance Agreement with CalTrans for the City to Maintain the Planned
Landscaped Median on Grand Avenue above the 57160 Freeway (Across From the
Honda Dealership) in Perpetuity.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Maintenance Agreement.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Estimated cost to maintain this median is $4,000 per year. $1,600 (40%) will
be paid from LLAD #38 and $2,400 (60%) from the General Fund. This division of funding is due to
the location of the median. 40% is within the boundary of LLAD #38 and 60% is outside the boundary.
LLAD #38 funds can only be used for the portion within the District boundary. Funds for the current
fiscal year are already included in the 2002/03 FY budget.
BACKGROUND: Landscaping of the median on Grand Avenue across from the Honda Dealer is a
CIP project included in the adopted 2002/03 FY budget. Plans and specifications have been
completed and the project is ready to go out to bid. However, since a portion of the project is over the
57/60 freeway, CalTrans requires the City to enter into an agreement in which the City agrees to
maintain the landscape improvements in perpetuity. Gregg Kovacevich, attorney in Mike Jenkins'
office, reviewed the agreement and has no concerns with it.
DISCUSSION: Planned improvements to this median include turf, groundcover, flowering trees and
shrubs. The automatic irrigation system will be operated with solar power and irrigation will be
accomplished with recycled water. Terms of the agreement state that the City will be responsible for
all costs related to the maintenance of the landscaped median. Staff plans to add this area to the
City-wide Landscape Maintenance contract.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: Linda C. Lowry, City Managexk,81
TITLE: Consideration of Resolution No. 2002 -XX Encouraging Creation of a Committee to
Protect the interest of City Residents during the Adelphia Bankruptcy Proceedings
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial implication associated with this action. As prescribed by bankruptcy law, all
costs incurred by the Local Government Committee will be paid for by Adelphia.
DISCUSSION:
Adelphia Communications is a cable television franchisee in the City of Diamond Bar. In the last few
months Adelphia has experienced a series of major events culminating in the company filing for
bankruptcy. At this time it is unknown what impact, if any, the bankruptcy will have on the .City, its
residents and the other Adelphia subscribers.
During bankruptcy proceedings, committees are often established to represent the interests of
individuals, organizations, companies and other creditors impacted by the bankruptcy filing. In the
Adelphia proceedings an Official Committee was established on July 11, 2002. The Official
Committee is comprised of representatives from financial companies, mutual fund managers, and
suppliers of cable programming. Municipalities have significantly different interests than these
companies. Therefore, it is recommended that a committee, comprised of rep resentatives'from local
governments served by Adelphia, be established to represent the interest of local government.
The Local Government Committee can only be established with the permission of the United States
Trustee, the entity overseeing the bankruptcy proceedings. The Board of Trustees, in response to a
motion filed by the County of St. Port Lucie, Florida and 14 California jurisdictions, has scheduled a
hearing to determine if a Local Government Committee is warranted. This recommendation has been
reviewed and approved by the Office of the City Attorney.
If approved by the City Council, the resolution will be forwarded to the United States Trustee
encouraging the creation of the Committee to protect the interests of local governments and its'

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DIAMOND BAR ENCOURAGING THE UNITED STATES TRUSTEE TO
CREATE A COMMITTEE COMPRISED OF REPRESENTATIVES OF
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS SERVED BY ADELPHIA TO DEVELOP AND
IMPLEMENT A STRATEGY FOR PROTECTING THE INTERESTS OF
LOCAL GOVERNMENT, ITS RESIDENTS, AND ALL ADELPHIA
CABLE TELEVISION SUBSCRIBERS IMPACTED BY THE ADELPHIA
BANKRUPTCY
WHEREAS, Adelphia Communications, hereinafter referred to as Adelphia, is a City of
Diamond Bar cable television franchisee;
WHEREAS, in recent months, Adelphia has undergone well-publicized financial
difficulties, including the disclosure of approximately $3.1 billion in previously undisclosed off-
balance sheet obligations, the commencement of a Securities and Exchange Commission and two
federal grand jury investigations, allegations of widespread corporate fraud, substantial defaults
on bondholder debts, numerous shareholder lawsuits against Adelphia, and the arrest of five
former Adelphia corporate executives;
WHEREAS, on June 25, 2002, Adelphia, and more than two hundred (200) of its
subsidiaries, filed for bankruptcy protection;
WHEREAS, recent press reports and other information indicate that Adelphia attempted
to sell many of its franchises to third -parties within the two weeks prior to the bankruptcy filing,
but those negotiations failed;
WHEREAS, recent press reports and other information indicate that Adelphia has
obtained $1.5 billion in debtor-in-possession financing to sustain its operations while the
bankruptcy is proceeding;
WHEREAS, in the context of a bankruptcy, Adelphia will be required to assume, assign,
or reject the current franchise agreement with the City of Diamond Bar and during that process
the City of Diamond Bar should play an active and important role so as to ensure tht all
franchise obligations are satisfied and local cable television subscribers receive the highest
quality, uninterrupted, cable television service;
WHEREAS, complicated legal and practical issues will arise during the course of the
bankruptcy, which will require: (i) extensive analysis of local government's rights; and
obligations; (ii) preparation of financial documents and correspondence explaining the practical
ramifications of the various proposals, including debt and equity restructurings that may arise;
and (iii) a careful attention to the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare, the quality
and range of cable television services, and the financial and performance based rights of local
government;
WHEREAS, the anticipated bankruptcy may result in tension between local
government's authority to control its public rights-of-way and duty to protect subscribers,
Adelphia's creditors' desire to obtain maximum value from the Adelphia franchises with
minimum delay, potential asset purchasers' desire to pay the lowest possible price and incur the
minimum possible obligation when seeking to buy cable franchises from the bankruptcy estate,
and the bankruptcy court's desire to quickly administer the case and confirm a bankruptcy plan;
WHEREAS, by forming a coalition, local government can present a united front in the
anticipated bankruptcy case, which will likely allow local government to assert more influence
over the ultimate conditions under which Adelphia or some other cable operator will pxovide
services to cable subscribers on a going -forward basis;
WHEREAS, bankruptcy law provides, in some circumstances, for the formation of
"committees" of parties sharing like interests in a bankruptcy proceeding;
WHEREAS, press reports and other information indicate that Adelphia's management,
as well as Adelphia's major creditors, are currently mapping out their respective bankruptcy
strategies and committee formations, which are not likely to align with the fundamental
objectives of local government with respect to cable television franchises;
WHEREAS, if an official corrunittee of local government entities were appointed by the
United States Trustee, the professional fees incurred by the committee would be paid by the
bankruptcy estate;
WHEREAS, on July 12, 2002, the Executive Director of the National Association of
Telecommunications Officers and Advisors (hereinafter referred to as NATOA) and the
President of the States of California and Nevada Chapter of NATOA (hereinafter referred to as
SCAN NATOA) sent a letter to Adelphia's General Counsel soliciting Adelphia's support before
the United States Trustee to appoint a local government committee;
WHEREAS, on July 31, 2002, the County of St. Port Lucie, Florida, filed a motion in
the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York for the creation of an
official committee of local franchise authorities and a hearing date has been set for September
17, 2002;
WHEREAS, on August 15, 2002, Mr. Fisher responded to the NATOA/SCAN NAiOA
letter (Exhibit B) and indicated that Adelphia would remain neutral (neither support nor oppose)
on the formation of a local government committee;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar does hereby resolve
as follows:
The Recitals above are hereby declared to be true, accurate, and correct.
2. Based upon and through the actions described in the above Recitals, as well as other
written and oral evidence submitted at the Hearing, it is hereby determined that the City of
Diamond Bar will benefit from participating in a coalition of cities, counties, and special districts
that act as the local government committee, which would strive to protect local government, its
residents, and all Adelphia cable television subscribers impacted by the Adelphia bankruptcy.
3. City of Diamond Bar hereby expresses support for the appointment of an official
committee of local government entities by the United States Trustee.
4. Diamond Bar City Council approves participation of the City of Diamond Bar in the
event such an official committee of local government entities is appointed by the United States
Trustee.

Re: Adelphia Communications Corporation, et al. ("Debtors")
Case No. 02-41729 (REG) Jointly Administered
Dear Ms. Schwartz:
The undersigned, through the network of The National Association of
Telecommunications Officers & Advisors ("NATOA"), represent the interest of various
municipal and local government agencies and/or authorities ("Local Agencies"), which have
franchisor/franchisee relationships with the Debtors.
Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 1102(a)(1) we hereby respectfully request that you appoint an
official committee of Local Agencies through the ranks of our organization. In a case with more
August 29, 2002
Page 2
than 190 Debtors and multiple businesses, the appointment of such a committee is necessary to
insure that the unique interests of the Local Agencies are adequately represented. As you know,
on July 11, 2002, you appointed the Official Committee in the above -captioned matter. The
Official Committee is comprised of eleven members. Six members appear to be financial
management firms, which manage substantial mutual funds, two members appear to be trustees
under trust indentures, and three members appear to be suppliers of programming to Debtors.
The lack of any appropriate representation of the interests of Local Agencies in the bankruptcy
case leaves the Local Agencies without adequate recourse. The uniform treatment of numerous
constituencies in these "mega cases" is fundamentally unfair and inconsistent with overriding
policies of the bankruptcy process.
The Local Agencies have interests at stake, which are not common to all creditors of the
Debtors. The United States Congress has specifically recognized the unique role of Local
Agencies as franchising authorities in the regulation of cable television. Because of the
extensive use of the public rights-of-way by the cable operator and the Local Agencies'
substantial interests in controlling the use and maintenance of their public rights-of-way, the
Telecommunication Act of 1996 provides exclusive control to Local Agencies. Pursuant to 47
U.S.C. §541(b)(1), cable operators are prohibited from providing cable services without a
franchise from Local Agencies. Further §541(a)(4) provides that in awarding a franchise, Local
Agencies may require adequate assurance that the cable operator will provide adequate public,
educational and governmental access channel.capacity, facilities, or financial support; and may
require adequate assurance that the cable operator has the financial, technical, or legal
qualifications to provide cable service. These matters are of extreme importance to Local
Agencies and differ substantially from matters that concern members of the current Official
Committee who are creditors of the Debtors as a result of their business dealings with the
Debtors.
While Local Agencies have billions of dollars at stare in this bankruptcy, they also hive
a fiduciary obligation to regulate and manage their rights-of-way in the best interest of the public
including, but not limited to safeguarding the public health, safety and welfare. Local Agencies
also rely on cable operators for public, educational and government access channels as a primary
means of communications with their citizenry. Local schools depend on educational
programming and funding by cable operators to support such programming. Local Agencies
carry emergency information including the alerts from the emergency broadcast system and local
emergency announcements on cable networks. These interests are clear and distinct from
monetary interests of creditors and investors in these bankruptcy proceedings.
More importantly, Local Agencies will ultimately have the greatest impact of any single
entity on sustaining the ultimate value of Debtors' most important and core assets. The Local
Agencies are the only entities statutorily vested and qualified to determine whether any proposed
purchaser is legally, technically, financially and otherwise qualified to assume the obligation of
the franchise and to use the public rights-of-way to operate the cable system in the manner
August 29, 2002
Page 3
identified by Local Agencies to adequately safeguard the local pubic interest. In short, Local
Agencies will be instrumental in assuring that a cogent and workable plan of reorganization is
drafted and implemented for the benefit of all creditors. Local Agencies through their official
committee are eager to bring to the process their expertise, statutory authority and good will.
We recognize that a decision to appoint additional comrnittees is generally made on a
case-by-case basis. Consideration, such as the ability of the existing Official Committee to
function, the nature of the case, and the standing and desires of the various constituencies assume
significance. In re McLean Industries, Inc., 7 Bankr. 852, 860 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1987).
In jointly administered cases such as this, where there are more than 190 separate debtors,
a strong inference arises that additional committees may well be appropriate. At least one case
has held that such appointment is required as a matter of law. In re White Motor Credit Corp.,
18 Bankr. 720 (Bankr. N.D. Ohio 1980). AIthough this view has not been adopted in the
Southern District of New York, several judges have suggested that a multi -debtor, multi -business
case, such as this, may be the appropriate set of circumstances to appoint additional committees.
In re McLean Industries, Inc., at 863 (Buschman J.) In re Hills Stores, 137 Bankr, 4, 7-8 (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. 1992) (Brozman, Jr.).
Although it is true that conflicting interests are common in any reorganization case,
circumstances here make it impossible for even the most diligent committee to adequately
represent the interests of the Local Agencies. For example, business creditors have their focus
on recovering proceeds of sales, whereas Local Agencies have their focus on the success of the
sale and the ability of the purchaser to deal with the public health and safety, public education
and emergency broadcast system concerns throughout the country. Judge Brozman in Hills
Stores envisioned the situation where creditors of separate debtors had vastly conflicting aims
and entitlements and had shown themselves unable to function on a committee such that the
appointment of an additional committee may be -appropriate. Hills Stores at 7-8. At a minimum,
an evidentiary hearing may be required. In McLean Industries Inc. at 31.
Another factor the courts consider is the timeliness of the request for an additional
committee. Here the Local Agencies are making the request within the first 120 days of the case.
No plan has been proposed and, in fact, it is the plan process in which Local Agencies wish to
participate. Local Agencies' participation will prove to be invaluable for the ultimate successful
reorganization of the Debtors.
We believe the appointment of a separate Local Agencies Committee is appropriate to
insure adequate representation of these Local Agencies. The fierce litigation tainting the plain
confirmation process in the PG&E case pending in the Northern District of California can be
correlated to the lack of government input and the absence of a governmental committee. No
such costly outcome is the desire of the Local Agencies.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPOR'
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: Linda C. Lowry, City Manag
TITLE: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND
BAR APPROVING THE INSTALLATION OF MULTI -WAY STOP SIGNS
ON LEYLAND DRIVE AT NEWBURY WAY AND AT WYNNEWOOD
DRIVE
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve Resolution No. 2002 -XX, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR APPROVING THE INSTALLATION` OF
MULTI -WAY STOP SIGNS ON LEYLAND DRIVE AT NEWBURY WAY AND
WYNNEWOOD DRIVE.
i
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The installation of multi -way stop signs will be approximately $600 and will be funded by
the City's signing and striping maintenance budget allocated for this FY 2002-2003.
i
BACKGROUND:
Leyland Drive is a residential street that is approximately 3,990 linear feet long bei
Highcrest Drive and Summitridge Drive. The street width is 40 feet curb to curb w
existing speed zone of 25 mph. Lane configuration consists of two (2) lanes w
centerline striping from Highcrest Drive to 818 Leyland Drive. From 818 Leyland
to Summitridge Drive lane configuration consists of two (2) lanes with double
striping. At 864 Leyland Drive, a double row of Botts dots was installed to
speeders.
The area comprises a varied grade rate from a relatively flat and level portion from
Highcrest Drive to Wynnewood Drive, then transitions to a fairly steep ascending grade
rate of 10% from Wynnewood Drive to Summitridge Drive, Both horizontal and verfical
curvatures occur along the length of the street with inadequate sight visibility inthe
vicinity of Wynnewood Drive
There have been concerns in the past from residents regarding speeding on Ley]and
Drive. In an attempt to reduce some of the traffic concerns for the residents of lithe
Leyland Drive neighborhood, multi -way stop signs were installed on Leyland Drive at
Benfield Place in February 2000. However, residents continue to be concerned with the
continued excessive speed of vehicles including drag racing during the evening hours.
The following is a summary of the recent 21 -hour speed survey **:
Date
July 24 & 25, 2002
Time
8:45
p.m. to 5:45 p.m.
Total Vehicles
973
Maximum Speed.
45 mph
Average Speed
27 mph
85 Percentile
31 mph
** The very visible speed trailer connected to a patrol car was utilized to obtain the
speed survey. It has been noted that the use of the speed trailer (versus the smaller
speed survey box) can render a skewed survey due to the fact that the motorist may
slow down upon viewing the speed trailer on the subject street.
DISCUSSION:
Caltrans criteria for multi -way stops typically applies to arterial and collector streets' and
does not adequately address the needs on residential/neighborhood streets. As it is
almost impossible to meet the warrants of the Caltrans policy, the City has utilized
specific/lower thresholds to be more applicable to residential/neighborhood streets.
These include, but not limited to, traffic volume, accidents, visibility, speed and crossing
residential collectors. As shown on Attachment "B", the Institute of Transportation
Engineers requires two of these five factors for consideration of a multi -way stop.
The intersections meet the criteria in regards to speed and restricted sight distances
due to the horizontal and vertical curvatures along Leyland Drive. The issue was
reviewed and discussed at the Traffic and Transportation Commission meeting of
August 8, 2002 and the Commission recommended to install multi -way stop sign's at
Leyland Drive and Newbury Way and Leyland Drive and Wynnewood Drive.

TITLE: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar Supporting
Continued Operation of the Puente Hills Landfill,
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Although there is no direct cost related to adopting this resolution, the
potential country wide cost if the landfill permit is not renewed is estimated to be a minimum
of $1.4 billion through increased tipping fees and transportation costs to access sitesoutside
the region.
BACKGROUND: The County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County are in the process
of seeking new permits for continued operation of the Puente Hills Landfill to utilize thg
remaining capacity of the site. In addition to meeting the Districts' cities and the County's
near term waste management needs, this would also provide for long term needs thro,6gh a
managed transition to waste -by -rail.
DISCUSSION: Existing permits for the landfill expire on November 1, 2003. More than 60
cities depend on the recycling programs conducted at the landfill. Such programs as the
green waste recycling would cease, necessitating city investment in additional recycling
programs to comply with state -mandated recycling goals. Currently, Los Angeles Co6nty has
some of the lowest waste management costs, yet is served by state-of-the-art facilities. It is
important that environmental sound, low-cost infrastructure projects like the Puente Hills
Landfill be actively support to maintain this distinction.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: Linda C. Lowry, City Manager
TITLE: Diamond Ride (Dial -A -Cab) Program Update
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Diamond Ride (Dial -A -Cab) program is funded through Proposition A, Local transit funds.
Established in Fiscal Year 95/96, with an initial budget of $60,000, growing demands have
necessitated budget amendments to the current level of $360,000 per year.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On November 20, 2001, in an effort to ensure reliable and quality transportation to our I,senior and
physically challenged residents, City Council approved program modifications for the Diamond Ride
(Dial -A -Cab) program that became effective on January 1, 2002. These include:
• Each cardholder will be allowed a maximum of 30 one-way trips per month.
• The fare for a one-way trip outside the City's boundaries is increased to $3.00. One-way trips
to all medical facilities will remain at $1.50.
• The one-way fare to the Ontario Airport and Fullerton Amtrak Station is increased to`
$10.00. Each cardholder is allowed six (6) one-way or three (3) round -trips per year to the
airport or train station. In addition, trips to the Ontario Airport or the Fullerton Amtrak Station will
only be allowed for the cardholder to depart on a trip or arrive from a trip, and
• Trips to the malls outside Diamond Bar will be limited to eight (S) one-way tripsor four (4)
round -trips per month.
All of the above modifications require monitoring of the program by staff in conjunction with
Diversified Paratransit, Inc. Every effort has been made to work with the cardholders on a case-by-
case basis in order to continue to allow the seniors and physically challenged resident's mobility and
quality of life style. Public Works staff has received and reviewed requests, which require special
consideration beyond the new limitations. The Diamond Ride Program continues to stress the
importance of availability in emergency situations and no cardholder shall be left stranded away from
home due to trip limitations or boundaries.
Along with these modifications placed on the Diamond Ride Program, a new system of monitoring the
cardholders for usage and residency was initiated. Beginning January 2, 2002, all cardholders were
required to visit City Hall to obtain a new identification card; giving our staff the opportunity to review
each cardholder's residency information. All new cards have an expiration date of two years from the
date of renewal. To date the City has issued 1,093 Diamond Ride I.D. cards.
To reflect the above-mentioned modifications, Exhibits "A" and "B" have been prepardd for your
review and information. They reflect the successive changes. In detail, Exhibit "A" gives ;a month to
month description of the average number of riders, types of rides taken, along with the average cost
per trip and cost per rider. The table's net monthly cost column reflects the prudent usage and
cooperation of our cardholders. Exhibit "B" provides annual comparisons from Fiscal Year 95196 to
Fiscal Year 02103.
Diversified Paratransit and staff work together in an effort to monitor the usage of the Diamond Ride
Program. Of all the changes incorporated, what appears to be most successful is the City's
opportunity to work with cardholders to maintain the type of medical attention they are accustomed to
receiving. In conclusion, the changes have enabled the City to maintain the integrity of the program,
and ensure our residents' ability to maintain a quality of life standard.

THE TEAM POLICING PLAN
Community -Based, Team -Policing is based on the cooperative resolution of
safety issues, identification of the causes and their resolution. City siaff
deputies, and citizens will participate in, and be responsible for, stra�egy,
design and problem solving that emphasizes comprehensive responses to
public safety issues. The key to problem solving requires a joint e, ort
using both public and private resources. These resources are dictate by
the uniqueness of the problem and its most effective resolution. Esse tial
to this process are deputies with good interpersonal skills who tak a
sincere interest in, and are sensitive to the needs of the citizens of
Diamond Bar.
The key to the success of Diamond Bar's Team Policing Plan is strategic
preparation, with measurable long and short-range goals, which provid s a
"road map" for the success of the program. Quality planning is crucial to a
successful program and requires commitment, common sense, and
compassion. The team concept to planning will provide a comprehensive
approach to public safety issues. It will insure that all resources available
are utilized effectively to deal with the needs and priorities of the
community.
ra
Increased coordination among City staff, community residents, and their
law enforcement personnel, will foster the feeling that they are indeed a
community-based team working together to resolve public safety issues.
The Team will continue to evaluate the progress of the program, land
present a formal bi-annual report to the City Council on their effectivenOss.
They will identify and prioritize specific problems occurring within! the
community and develop a plan of resolution. They will assess needs;
identify goals, review alternatives, and design methods for achieving those
goals. Resources needed to address the successful resolution of a
problem will be identified and sought after. Consideration will be given to
the assistance available from various community groups and leaders,
involved in the community. Such resources might include,
Neighborhood/Business Watch, or Citizen Patrol members and, school,
church, service or business organizations. By setting goals for the
program, the city can continually review their resources, and be asspred
that they are being used in the most effective manner possible. l By
monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the program, it will continue
to move forward.
Public safety issues challenging law enforcement today are much r>j
complex than those of yesterday. The issues of today challenge not
law enforcement, but also the entire community. Members of the Polil
Team must look beyond law enforcement techniques to address an is:
otherwise the impact of this program will be short lived. Planning t;E
time and effort, but the lack of planning can result in the loss of sometl
much more valuable, the peace and safety of our community.
Diamond Bar Community Based Policing Team will consist
representatives from the following areas:

PROBLEM SOLVING
Research has shown the need to look for long-term solutions in resolving
persistent and recurring community problems. Studies indicate that, in
many communities, 30 percent of the calls for service emanate frorr 10
percent of the locations in the city. Because a good portion of the deputy's
time is spent responding to the same location repeatedly, a problem
orientated approach is necessary. Using this approach, deputies assigned
to the City of Diamond Bar will look beyond the individual call -for -se ice
and address the underlying problems that create them. For examplle, a
particular location may be experiencing a narcotics use problem, but the
underlying cause is that the building has been allowed to fall into disrepair,
inviting criminal activity. Once the underlying cause is identified they will be
expected to look for and apply tailor made solutions to the problem.
At times the solution to a problem may not be found in the realm of
criminal justice system. Because of this, the deputies are not
encouraged to utilize the wide range of city resources available, but
those found throughout the community.

TRAFFIC SAFETY PROGRAM
OUR MISSION
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is
dedicated to providing the City of Diamond Bar and its
residents with a model program for traffic safety and
enforcement. Our goal is to enforce the laws fairly, while
maintaining and defending the rights of all. We are
committed to this partnership with the community and
strive to improve upon the quality of our service by
reducing vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle related injuries
and fatal collisions. It is our belief that a community's
increased sense of traffic safety awareness will enhance
neighborhood security as well as improve upon the
resident's quality of life.
PROGRAM AREA DESCRIPTION
With a land mass of approximately 14.9 square miles, the
City of Diamond Bar is nestled within the Pomona -Walnut
Valley and has a population of 56,287 residents. Located
adjacent to the communities of Pomona and City of
Industry, to the north, Chino Hills, to the east, the
unincorporated community of Rowland Heights, to the
west, and the City of Brea, to the south, Diamond Bar has
become the transportation hub for residents traversing
through these communities. The City is intersected by
two major freeway systems, the Riverside (60) Freeway
and the Orange (57) Freeway, which contributes
approximately 39 miles of arterial highway surface to the
community. The remainder of the City roadway system
totals 119 miles, 17 miles of connector roads and 102
miles of local residential streets. Although the California
Highway Patrol provides traffic enforcement for -the
aforementioned highways, the collateral impact of these
roadways contributes substantially to City rush hour traffic
congestion.
22
OVERVIEW
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department provides
the City of Diamond Bar with a comprehensive traffic
safety program which includes: driving under the
influence (DUI), moving violation, parking, seat belt, and
child safety enforcement operations. In addition, deputies
will provide vehicle safety check points, child safety seat
training and checkups, bicycle and pedestrian safety
classes, including bicycle rodeos, and senior driver
awareness education. Deputies will distribute public
awareness and educational materials in support of the
program and solicit the direct participation of community-
based organizations, like the Public Safety Committee
and the Traffic and Transportation Commission as
needed.
TRAFFIC ISSUES (MAJOR ROADWAYS)
Traffic congestion and related issues remain the number
one concern of Diamond Bar residents. The four main
roadways within the City are: Diamond Bar Boulevard,
Golden Springs Drive, Grand Avenue, and Brea Canyon
Road. I The traffic on these roadways is responsible for
nearly 80% of all injury -related traffic accidents reported
within the City during the past year. Additionally, the
60157 Freeway interchange, located at City center,
produces a large increase in traffic flow on all nearby City
surface streets, at both the morning and evening rush
hours. In the event of a major freeway traffic accident,
adjacent surface streets routinely gridlock. Sixteen major
City street intersections have been provided with
temporary stop signs in the event of a significant power
outage or other related emergency (see attachment, page
26).
In the area of enforcement, three traffic motor officers will
be deployed throughout the City, each weekday. Their
23
respective shifts will be adjusted, as needed, to meet the
changing traffic needs of the City. These motor officers
will use state-of-the-art laser devices to enforce the speed
laws, in accordance with 40802 CVC. In addition, there is
one vehicle traffic unit on each shift, seven days per
week, equipped with a stationary radar unit, also used in
accordance with 40802 CVC. Traffic engineering
services will continue to be provided by the City's
Department of Public Works. This office provides the
traffic enforcement program with a current traffic speed
survey, in accordance with California Vehicle Code (CVC)
regulations. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's
Department attends regular sessions of the City Traffic
and Transportation Commission and provides input
regarding traffic signals, controls, signage and roadway
striping.
Frequent use of both radar speed trailers and regularly
scheduled vehicle safety checkpoints provides the City
with additional driver education and promotes voluntary
compliance with traffic regulations. Team members will
work with City staff to develop and market a specific traffic
safety and educational plan.
To assure timely responses in the way traffic and/or
parking enforcement requests are handled, City Staff
utilizes the City's current "Service Request" form to both
initiate and track each individual request. A Team
Deputy, specially assigned to handle traffic service
requests, processes this three-part form. Upon
completion, the requesting party is notified of the results.
TRAFFIC ISSUES (RESIDENTIAL)
Speeding vehicles within residential neighborhoods
account for the remaining 20% of injury accidents in the
City. However, complaints from local residents about
neighborhood traffic problems make up nearly all of the
traffic -related complaints received during the year. In
order to be responsive to the concerns of the residents,
24
traffic units are redeployed into the residential
neighborhoods, as needed. In addition to the "Service
Request" process, a "pass -on" board at the Diamond Bar
Service Center is used by the three motorcycle officers,
who will check the board for areas of concern and take
immediate action as complaints are received. As stated
previously, one representative from the Diamond Bar
patrol team attends regularly scheduled sessions of the
Traffic and Transportation Commission. This enables the
team to receive input from the community, first hand,
regarding their traffic concerns.
TRAFFIC ISSUES (SCHOOLS)
School related traffic issues and student safety concerns
are of primary importance to every resident, parent and
school administrator within Diamond Bar. During the
school year, morning and afternoon drop-off and pick-up
times substantially contribute to severe residential street
traffic congestion. Problems stem from higher student
enrollment, an expensive and rarely used (school bus)
transportation system, narrow residential streets, too
many cars, and not enough space to park. This is an
ongoing problem, with a variety of possible solutions. As
each school represents a different traffic -related
challenge, the Diamond Bar team will be working with
individual school administrators to find potential solutions
to their traffic problems.
Team members work with the City Public Works Director
to develop traffic flow patterns and specific signage to
alleviate the congestion and delay for students at drop-off
and pick-up times. In 1998, the City conducted and
implemented a comprehensive traffic safety study of all
schools located within Diamond Bar. At the beginning of
the 2001-2002 school year, an update to this study was
begun, starting with Chaparral Middle School. All other
schools within the City will be contacted and follow-up
assessments conducted.
25
In addition, 16 City schools have requested and been provided with
crossing guards under contract from International Services
Corporation. The City Public Works Department manages this
contract. Crossing guards are responsible for the safety of
elementary and middle school children crossing the street at their
assigned intersections. Their high-profile activity serves to alert
oncoming traffic to the presence of children. Crossing guards also
serve as additional eyes and ears for law enforcement personnel,
keeping especially alert for unsafe drivers who put children at -risk
and for suspicious individuals loitering near schools, school routes
and near children (see attached list).

communities we serve. It is our intent to reduce the
number of injury/fatal traffic collisions through proactive
traffic enforcement and through collaboration with the
local school districts to improve upon both traffic flow and
student safety issues. We will adhere to a zero -tolerance
approach to drinking driver (DUI) enforcement and pledge
to develop a comprehensive public safety management
program for the community.
Due to the ever changing traffic patterns and traffic flow,
as well as the increased concern from residential
neighborhoods regarding traffic safety, this plan will be
reviewed and modified (as needed) on an annual basis.

COMMUNITY SERVICE ACTIVITIES
LOCAL SERVICE CENTER
Centrally located, the Diamond Bar/Sheriff s Community Servie
Center, at 23449 Golden Springs Drive, is the headquarters for
Diamond Bar Volunteer patrol.
This center serves as a local Sheriffs Office where residents mo
have reports taken, meet with deputy personnel or obtain crim
prevention information. it is used by field deputies for report writin
and as a community meeting room for up to 25 people. Th
Community Volunteer Patrol conducts their monthly meetings an
training sessions at the center and it is staffed Monday throug
Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM by Patrol Volunteer staff.
COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER PATROL
The Crime Prevention Deputy recruits, trains and supervises th
members of the Diamond Bar Community Volunteer Patrol Unit: Thi
unit acts as extra eyes and ears for the Sheriffs Department. Th
members relieve deputy personnel of less hazardous tasks such a
vacation checks, code enforcement violation reporting and handica
parking citations. Volunteers are responsible for deploying the Cii
radar trailers and the decoy patrol car. Additionally, they assi,
deputies with traffic control at scheduled city events and traff
accidents. They provide assistance at DUI and Safety Check Point!
The Diamond Bar Volunteer Patrol members also staff the Diamon
Bar Community Service Center.
NEIGHBORHOOD & BUSINESS WATCH
Realistically, the police alone cannot completely eliminate crime
Neighborhood Watch is a cooperative effort between lain
enforcement and the public to reduce crime and the fear of crime
Neighborhood Watch members watch out for each other and act a:
31
extra eyes and ears for the Sheriff's Department. The Crir
Prevention Deputy recruits Block Watch Captains and trai
members in home and personal security, what to watch for, how
report crimes, and how to reduce opportunities for criminals. T
Crime Prevention Deputy also trains Neighborhood Watch Captai
to develop their own meeting agendas, training curriculums, a

community resource. The Business Watch Program is very similar
Neighborhood Watch were business owners and employees wat
out for each other and pass information between themselves and t
Sheriff's Department. The Crime Prevention Deputy educates t
business community on robbery prevention; counterfeit curren+
scams, burglary prevention, shoplifting, employee theft, identity th
and security issues.
DUTIES OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH CAPTAIN
The Neighborhood Watch Captain is one of the most vital positions i
the Community Based, Team Policing Pian. The program is truly
partnership between the members of the community and their Cit
law enforcement representatives. Without their extra eyes and ear
in the community, the Sheriff's Department and City government'
effectiveness would be greatly diminished. These volunteers ofte
work within the city and are an invaluable source of public safet
information.
The Neighborhood Watch Captains are also invaluable when
comes to dispensing information from the City of Diamond Bar an
the Sheriff's Department to members of the community. This in itse
can make community members more aware of public safety issue
and stopping criminals before they have a chance to commit the
crimes.
The Neighborhood Watch Captains must assume the following duti
in order for the plan to work:
❑ Maintain a communications system so that important publi
safety information can be quickly disseminated throughout th
community
32
I
. ❑ Be available to members of their block, so they can gather
information to be passed on to the Special Assignment Team of
deputies for follow up
❑ Work closely with the city Crime Prevention Deputy to kep
their block watch active and running efficiently
❑ Serve as the block's public safety representative

{NEIGHOBORHOOD SAFETY SURVEY)
{The Diamond Bar Public Safety Program emphasizes
community partnerships that will assist our success in th
reduction of crime and the maintenance of order. Together, th
citizens living in Diamond Bar and their law enforceme t
officers, must meet, learn what problems plague the resident
and then coordinate the resources necessary to address thos
problems. The Neighborhood Safety Survey is an excellent wa
to utilize this partnership.
The Neighborhood Safety Survey will be conducted twice yearly
The City of Diamond Bar will be divided into five specific surve;
areas. The specific area targeted for survey will be choses
based on collaboration between Council, City, and Sheriff.
Department Staff.
Some sample questions might include:
9. What problems in your immediate neighborhood need
enforcement attention?
33
2. Do you have any suggestions on how the Sh
Department might resolve these problems?
3. Do you have any suggestions on how the Community c
work with the Sheriff's Department/City of Diamond Bar
resolve these problems?)
COMMUNITY POLICING VEHICLE
In an effort to be more responsive to the communities served y
Walnut/Diamond Bar Sheriff's Station, a unique Community Policin
Vehicle was purchased. This vehicle, a specially designed, 34 foo -
long motor home is utilized to provide local residents with a mobil
site for conducting both neighborhood and businesswatc
presentations. Many prospective neighborhood watch captains di
not volunteer because they were uncomfortable opening their home
to local residents. The vehicle is expandable and comfortabl
accommodates seating 20-25 persons. In addition, the vehicle will b
fully self-contained; with a rest room, full audio/visua ,
communications, and computer capabilities. In the advent of a
emergency, the vehicle can be utilized as a mobile command post r
operations center.
In the true spirit of cooperation and partnership, the Cities of Diamo
Bar, Walnut, and the County of Los Angeles (representing t
unincorporated communities of Rowland Heights and Covina Hil
funded the project together. The Community Policing Vehicle
deployed within each of the communities on an equal basis, a
reflects that, partnership with an appropriate display of City a
County logos.
PUBLIC SAFETY PRESENTATIONS

Program) bicycle safety, Internet and telephone scams, and vacatid,n
safety.
THE PARENT'S FORUM
Last year, Walnut/Diamond Bar Station entered into a partnershi
with the Walnut Valley Unified School District and developed
presentation entitled, "The Parent's Forum." Held at a targ
elementary or middle school, the program is designed to address th
specific parental concerns of adolescent children about to enter th
teens. Utilizing Sheriff's Department experts in each of the area.
presentation topics include: narcotics, youth violence, gangs, parent
discipline, and other important parenting issues. The intertwinin
roles of the Sheriff, community and children are also discussed.
the conclusion of the program, ample time is allowed f
questions/answers and parents are encouraged to interact wit
presenters in an open "forum." Thus far, the program has receive
excellent reviews from both school administrators and participatin
parents. This program will be offered to Diamond Bar school
administrated by the Pomona Unified School District in the ne
future.
SCHOOL LIAISON

EMERGENCY & DISASTER PREPAREDNESS
MISSION STATEMENT
To save life, limit injury, reduce human suffering, prevent or lir
damage to property, wildlife, natural resources, the environme
and the economy from the affects of natural and man -cause
disasters including terrorism and the use of weapons of ma
destruction; to coordinate and administer mitigatic
preparedness, response and recovery programs and operations
support of the community; to coordinate local, state and Fede
assistance programs to help restore damaged city areas to p,
disaster condition.
OVERVIEW
The Basic Emergency and Disaster Preparedness Plan addresse
the City's intended response to emergencies associated with natur.,
disasters and technological incidents—including both peacetime an
wartime nuclear defense operations. It provides an overview c
operational concepts, identifies components of the City's emergent
management organization within the Standardized Emergenc
Management System (SEMS) and describes the overE
responsibilities of the federal, state and county entities and the Cil
for protecting life and property and assuring the overall well-being
the population.
The City places emphasis on: emergency planning; training of full
time, auxiliary and reserve personnel; public awareness and
education; and assuring the adequacy and availability of sufficie t
resources to cope with emergencies. Emphasis is also placed on
mitigation measures to reduce losses from disasters, including the
development and enforcement of appropriate land use, design and
construction regulations.
38
ti
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
Operations during peacetime and national security emergencies
involve a full spectrum of activities from a minor incident, to a majo
earthquake, to a nuclear detonation. There are a number c
similarities in operational concepts for peacetime and nationa
security emergencies. Some emergencies will be preceded by
build-up or warning period, providing sufficient time to warn th4
population and implement mitigation measures designed to reduc(
loss of life and property damage.
Other emergencies occur with little or no advance warning, thu
requiring immediate activation of the emergency operations plan an
commitment of resources. All agencies must be prepared to respon
promptly and effectively to any foreseeable emergency, including th
provision and utilization of mutual aid.
Emergency management activities during peacetime and nation
security emergencies are often associated with the four emergen(
management phases indicated below. However, not every disast
necessarily includes all indicated phases.
PREPAREDNESS PHASE
The preparedness phase involves activities taken in advance of a
emergency. These activities develop operational capabilities an
effective responses to a disaster. These actions might includ
mitigation activities, emergency/disaster planning, training an
exercises and public education. Those identified in this plan a
having either a primary or support mission relative to response an
recovery should prepare Standard Operating Procedure
(SOPs)IEmergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) and checklist
detailing personnel assignments, policies, notification rosters, an
resource lists. Personnel should be acquainted with thes
SOPs/EOPs' and checklists through periodic training in the activatio
and execution procedures.
39
EMERGENCY RESPONSE PHASE
Pre -Emergency:
When a disaster is inevitable, actions are precautionary and
emphasize protection of life. Typical responses might be:
❑ Evacuation of threatened populations to safe areas.
❑ Advising threatened populations of the emergency and apprisin
them of safety measures to be implemented.
❑ Advising the Los Angeles County Operational Area of th
emergency.
❑ Identifying the need for mutual aid and requesting such throng
the Los Angeles County Operational Area via the Walnut Sheriff
Station.
❑ Proclamation of a Local Emergency by local authorities.
Emergency Response:
During this phase, emphasis is placed on saving lives and property,
control of the situation and minimizing effects of the disaster.
Immediate response is accomplished within the affected area by loc
government agencies and segments of the private sector. One of ti
following conditions will apply to the City during this phase:
❑ The situation can be controlled without mutual aid assistance fro
outside the City.
❑ Evacuations from portions of the City are required due
uncontrollable immediate and ensuing threats.
❑ Mutual aid from outside the City is required.
❑ The City is either minimally impacted, or not impacted at all, and
requested to provide mutual aid to other jurisdictions.
❑ The emergency management organization will give priority to tf
following operations:
o Dissemination of. accurate and timely emergency publ
information and warning to the public.
o Situation analysis.
o Resource allocation and control.
.M
jc
o Evacuation and rescue operations.
o Medical care operations.
o Coroner operations.
o Care and shelter operations.
o Access and perimeter control.
o Public health operations.
o Restoration of vital services and utilities.
When local resources are committed to the maximum and additional
resources are required, requests for mutual aid will be initiated
through the Los Angeles County Operational Area. Fire and law
enforcement agencies will request or render mutual aid directly
through established channels. Any action which involves financial
outlay by the jurisdiction, or a request for military assistance, must bE
authorized by the appropriate local official.
If required, State Office of Emergency Services (OES) may
coordinate the establishment of one or more Disaster Support Areas
(DSAs) where resources and supplies can be received, stockpiled,
allocated, and dispatched to support operations in the affected
area(s).
Depending on the severity of the emergency, a Local Emergency
may be proclaimed, the local Emergency Operating Center (EOC)
may be activated, and Los Angeles County Operational Area will be
advised. The State OES Director may request a gubernatorial
proclamation of a State of Emergency. Should a State of Emergenc
be proclaimed, state agencies will, to the extent possible, respond tc
requests for assistance. These activities will be coordinated with the
State OES Director.
State OES may also activate the State Operations Center (SOC) in
Sacramento to support State OES Regions, state agencies and oth
entities in the affected areas and to ensure the effectiveness of the
state's SEMS. The State Regional EOC (REOC) in Los Alamitos, c
an alternate location, will support the Los Angeles County
Operational Area.
If the Governor requests and receives a Presidential declaration of�n
Emergency or a Major Disaster under Public Law 93-288, he ill
41
appoint a State Coordinating Officer (SCO). The SCO and an
appointed Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO) will coordinate and
control state and federal recovery efforts in supporting local
operations. All emergency response efforts and initial recover
support will be coordinated by the REOC.
Sustained Emergency:
In addition to continuing life and property protection operations, m
care, relocation, registration of displaced persons, and damage
assessment operations will be initiated.
RECOVERY PHASE
As soon as possible, the State OES Director, operating through th
SCO, will bring together representatives of federal, state, county, an
city agencies, as well as representatives of the American Red Cros:
to coordinate the implementation of assistance programs an
establishment of support priorities.
Disaster Application Centers (DACs) may also be establishe
providing a "'one-stop" service to initiate the process of receivir
federal, state and local recovery assistance. The recovery period N
major objectives which may overlap, including:
❑ Reinstatement of family autonomy.
❑ Provision of essential public services.
❑ Permanent restoration of private and public property.
❑ Identification of residual hazards.
❑ Plans to mitigate future hazards.
❑ Recovery of costs associated with response and recovery efforts.
MITIGATION PHASE
Mitigation efforts occur both before and following disaster event
Post -disaster mitigation is part of the recovery process. Eliminati�j
or reducing the impact of hazards which exist within the City and a+
a threat to life and property are part of the mitigation effor�
42
Mitigation tools include:
❑ Local ordinances and statutes (zoning ordinance, building codes
and enforcement, etc.).
❑ Structural, measures.
❑ Tax levee or abatements.
❑ Public information and community relations.
❑ Land use planning.
❑ Professional training.
PEACETIME EMERGENCIES
The City's partial or total response to natural disasters
technological incidents will be dictated by the type and magnitude
the emergency. Generally, response to a major peacetin
emergency situation will progress from local, to county, to state,
federal involvement.
For planning purposes, State OES has established three levels i
emergency response to peacetime emergencies, which are based c
the severity of the situation and the availability of local resource:
(Note: These levels do not directly correlate with the fot
classifications of nuclear power emergencies.)
LEVEL ONE—DECENTRALIZED COORDINATION
A minor to moderate incident wherein local resources ai
adequate and available. A Local Emergency may or may not t
proclaimed. The City EOC may or may not be activated. Off -du -
personnel may be recalled.
LEVEL TWO—CENTRALIZED COORDINATION
A moderate to severe emergency wherein local resources are i
adequate and mutual aid may be required on a regional or e%
statewide basis. Key management level personnel from 1
principal involved agencies will co -locate in a central location
43
r
provide jurisdictional or multi jurisdictional coordination. The E
should be activated. Off-duty personnel may be recalled.
Local Emergency will be proclaimed and a State of Emerge
may be proclaimed.
LEVEL THREE—CENTRALIZED COORDINATION
A major local or regional disaster wherein resources in or near th
impacted area are overwhelmed and extensive state and/or
federal resources are required. A Local Emergency and a State
Emergency will be proclaimed and a Presidential Declaration of
Emergency or Major Disaster will be requested. All response ani
early recovery activities will be directed from the EOC. All off -dui
personnel will be recalled.
NATIONAL SECURITY EMERGENCIES
National security emergencies may range from minor inconvenience
such as food and petroleum shortages to a worst-case scenari
involving an attack on the United States utilizing nuclear weapon:
Protective measures to be employed in the event of a threatened c
actual attack on the United States include:
❑ In-place protection.
❑ Spontaneous evacuation by an informed citizenry may be
considered a viable option within the context of this plan.
HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS
A hazard analysis has indicated that the City may be at risk to certaii
incidents and to national security emergencies. These hazards ars
identified in Part One, Section Five --Threat Assessments, whicl
also provide general and specific information on their possible impac
on the jurisdiction.
r I
STANDARDIZED EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SEMS)
In an emergency, governmental response is an extraordina
extension of responsibility and action, coupled with normal day -to -d,,
activity. Normal governmental duties will be maintained, wi
emergency operations carried out by those agencies assign(
specific emergency functions. The Standardized Emergeni
Management System (SEMS) has been adopted by the City
Diamond Bar for managing response to multi -agency and mul
jurisdiction emergencies and to facilitate communications at
coordination between all levels of the system and among ;
responding agencies. Chapter I of Division 2 of Title 19 of tl
California Code of Regulations establishes the standard respon;
structure and basic protocols to be used in emergency response at
recovery.
Fully activated, the SEMS consists of five levels: field response, loc<
government, operational areas (countywide), OES Mutual Ai
Regions, and state government.
FIELD RESPONSE LEVEL
The field response level is where emergency response personnel an(
resources, under the command of an appropriate authority, carry ou
tactical decisions and activities in direct response to an incident o
threat. SEMS regulations require the use of the Incident Commanc
System (ICS) at the field response level of an incident. The ICS fielc
functions to be used for emergency management are: command
operations, planning/intelligence, logistics, anc
finance/administration.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT LEVEL
Local governments include cities, counties, and special districts
Local governments manage and coordinate the overall emergency
response and recovery activities within their jurisdiction. Loca
governments are required to use SEMS when their emergency
operations center is activated or a local emergency is proclaimed it
45
i
W
order to be eligible for state funding of response -related personnel
costs. In SEMS, the local government emergency management
organization and its relationship to the field response level may va'y
depending upon factors related to geographical size, populatio ,
function and complexity. Local governmental levels shall provide t e
following functions: management, operations, planning/intelligence,
logistics, and finance/administration. Local jurisdictions are
responsible for overall direction of personnel and equipment provid d
for emergency operations through mutual aid (Government Code
Section 8618).
OPERATIONAL AREA
Under SEMS, the operational area is defined in the Emergenc
Services Act as an intermediate level of the state's emergenc
services organization consisting of a county and all politic
subdivisions, within the county area. Political subdivisions incluc
cities, a city and county, counties, district or other local government
agency, or public agency as authorized by law. The operational arE
is responsible for:
❑ Coordinating information, resources and priorities among local
governments within the operational area,
❑ Coordinating information, resources and priorities between the
regional level and the local government level, and
❑ Using multi -agency or inter -agency coordination to facilitate
decisions for overall operational area level emergency response
activities.
SEMS regulations specify that all local governments within a cour
geographic area be organized into a single operational area and tf
the county board of supervisors is responsible for its establishment.
The County of Los Angeles is the lead agency for the Los Angele",
County Operational Area, which includes the City of Diamond Bar
All local governments should cooperate in organizing an effectivE
operational area, but the
operational area authority and responsibility is not affected by the
nonparticipation of any local government.
46
❑ Activation of the Operational Area during a State of Emergency o
a Local Emergency is required by SEMS regulations under the
following conditions:
1) A local government within the operational area has activated
EOC and requested activation of the operational area EOC
support their emergency operations.
2) Two or more cities within the operational area have proclaimed
emergency.
3) The county and one or more cities have proclaimed a local
emergency.
4) A city, city and county, or county has requested a governor
proclamation of a state of emergency, as defined in th
Government Code Section 8558(b).
5) A state of emergency is proclaimed by the governor for the cou
or two or more cities within the operational area.
6) The operational area is requesting resources from outside it
boundaries. This does not include resources used in normal day
to -day operations, which are obtained through existing mutual ai
agreements.
7) The operational area has received resource requests from outsi
its boundaries. This does not include resources used in norn
day-to-day operations which are obtained through existing mutt
aid agreements.
If the Los Angeles County Operational Area is activated, the Sheriff o
Los Angeles County will be the Director of Emergency Operation:
(Operational Area Coordinator) for the Los Angeles Count)
Operational Area and will have the overall responsibility fo
coordinating and supporting emergency operations within the county
The Area Coordinator and supporting staff will constitute the
Operational Area Emergency Management Staff. The County of Lo:
Angeles EOC will fulfill the role of Operational Area EOC.

REGIONAL
Because of its size and geography, the state has been divided in
six mutual aid regions. The purpose of a mutual aid region is
provide for the more effective application and coordination of mutu
aid and other emergency related activities.
State OES _ has also established three Administrative Regioi
(Coastal, Inland and Southern). These Administrative Regions a
the means by which State OES maintains day-to-day contact wi
emergency services organizations at local, county and private sect
organizations.
In SEMS, the regional level manages and coordinates informatio
and resources among operational areas within the mutual aid regio
and also between the operational areas and the state level. Th
regional level also coordinates overall state agency support fc
emergency response activities within the region.
STATE
The state level of SEMS manages state resources in response to th+
emergency needs of the other levels and coordinates mutual aic
among the mutual aid regions and between the regional level an(
state level. The state level also serves as the coordination an(
communication link between the state and the federal disaste
response system.
FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) serves as the
main federal government contact during emergencies, majo
disasters and national security emergencies.
48
CONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT
A major disaster or national security emergency could result in the
death or injury of key government officials and/or the partial or
complete destruction of established seats of government, and public
and private records essential to continued operations of government
Government at all levels is responsible for providing continuity of
effective leadership, authority and adequate direction of emergency
and recovery operations.
PUBLIC AWARENESS AND EDUCATION
The public's response to any emergency is based on an understandin
of the nature of the emergency, the potential hazards, the like]
response of emergency services and knowledge of what individuals an
groups should do to increase their chances of survival and recover)
Public awareness and education prior to any emergency are crucial t
successful public information efforts during and after the emergency
The pre -disaster awareness and education programs must be viewed a
equal in importance to all other preparations for emergencies an
receive an adequate level of planning. These programs must b
coordinated among local, state and federal officials to ensure the
contribution to emergency preparedness and response operations.
TRAINING AND EXERCISES
Training and exercises are essential at all levels of government to mak
emergency operations personnel operationally ready. All emergenc
plans should include provision for training. The objective is to train an
educate public officials, emergency response personnel and the public
The best method for training staff to manage emergency operations i
through exercises. Exercises are conducted on a regular basis t
maintain the readiness of operational procedures. Exercises provid
personnel with an opportunity to become thoroughly familiar with th
procedures, facilities and systems which will actually be used i
emergency situations. There are several forms of exercises:
❑ Tabletop exercises provide a convenient and low-cost meth
designed to evaluate policy, plans and procedures and resol
49
coordination and responsibilities. Such exercises are a good way to
see if policies and procedures exist to handle certain issues.
❑ Functional exercises are designed to test and evaluate the capability,
of an individual function such as evacuation, medical,
communications or public information.
❑ Full-scale exercises simulate an actual emergency. They typical y
involve complete emergency management staff and are designed o
evaluate the operational capability of the emergency management
system.
ALERTING AND WARNING
Warning is the process of alerting governmental forces and the gener,
public to the threat of imminent extraordinary danger. Dependent upo
the nature of the threat and the population group at risk, warning ca
originate at any level of government.
Success in saving lives and property is dependent upon timer
dissemination of warning and emergency information to persons ii
threatened areas. Local government is responsible for warning thi
populace of the jurisdiction. Government officials accomplish this using
warning devices located within the community or mounted on officio
vehicles. The warning devices are normally activated from a poir
staffed 24 hours a day (Walnut/Diamond Bar Sheriff's Station).

FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES
OUR MISSION
"The mission of the Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD)'
is to protect lives, the environment, and property by providing promp�,
skillful and cost effective fire protection and life safety services." j
OVERVIEW
The Los Angeles County Fire Department is credited with the creatio
of the nation's second Fire Fighter Paramedic Program and th
nation's first 911 Emergency Calling System. Throughout its history

EMERGENCY MEDICAL "PARAMEDIC" SERVICES
The Los Angeles County Fire Department was the first fir
department to implement advanced life support, in the State c
California, through the use of fire department paramedics. Throug
the leadership and political acumen of Kenneth Hahn, a member c
The County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors, the program wa
implemented on December 8, 1969.
After extensive training in emergency medical procedures, six fire
fighters staffed two separate "Rescue Squads" (now common)
referred to as a "squad"). Squad 59 was stationed at Harbor General
Hospital, and Squad 36 at County of Los Angeles Fire Station 3E;
both in the Carson area of Los Angeles. The fire fighters were no
titled "Fire Fighter/Paramedics." Once dispatched to a medical cal,
the paramedics would drive to Harbor General Hospital and pick up
nurse. Together they would drive to the call. As the responss.
distances rapidly increased to include areas outside of Carson, It
soon became apparent that the program would need to be expander.
Another squad (Squad 38) was added on October 1, 1970, and o
November 15, 1971 a fourth squad (Squad 14) was added.
During this time, it also became apparent that the practice of picking
a nurse up from the hospital was impractical. It was decided to alto'
paramedics to go straight to the medical call and contact the nurse t
the hospital over a specially designed radio system. By 1973, 2
additional squads were placed into service, and the public's interest
in the County of Los Angeles Fire Department paramedic program
was quickly building.
The story of the County of Los Angeles Fire Fighter/Paramedics an
their dramatic tales soon reached Hollywood. Universal Studios
contracted with the County of Los Angeles Fire Department t
produce the popular television series "Emergency" with fictitiou
"Squad 51" as the recognizable centerpiece.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL "PARAMEDIC" SERVICES
The program ran for seven seasons, and the re -runs are current)
shown all over the world. The fire engine used on that series (Engine
52
J
z
51) currently serves Yosemite National Park, and "Squad 51" is a part
of the County of Los Angeles Fire Department Museum.
In the years since the inception of the paramedic program, several
new aspects have been added to ensure that the highest level of pre-
hospital emergency medical care is delivered to the citizens who fall
under the services of the County of Los Angeles Fire Department
These include fully capable paramedic engines, assessment engine
which contain limited paramedic equipment and are staffed with on
paramedic who can begin advanced life support efforts prior to th
arrival of the squad, the certification of all fire fighters (including "Call
Fire Fighters") to a level of Emergency Technician (EMT -1), a
extensive automatic defibrillator program, and a 24 hour Air Squad
helicopter program. In addition, the scope of practice for paramedics
has been vastly expanded to keep pace with advances in medical
technology.
Since 1970, over 1,400 County of Los Angeles Fire Department Medical Servicefire
fighters have graduated from the Emergency e
Paramedic Training Institute. Currently, there are over 768 certifid
paramedics, 53 squads, four paramedic engines, nine assessme f
engines, three air squads, and two paramedic lifeguard boats (which
provide paramedic services to all of Catalina Island). Last year,
County of Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to
over 124,000 emergency medical calls.
FIRE PREVENTION
The Fire Prevention Division is under the direction of an Assists t
Fire Chief designated as Fire Marshal. The Fire Marshal has charge
of the Department's Fire Prevention activities with an emphasis on
quality assurance and customer service. The personnel of Flee
Prevention Division are made up of those members of tf ,e
Department qualified and trained for the assignment. In addition,
some specially qualified civilian technical personnel are pro id d
wherever possible. Additionally, Fire Prevention Division personn�l
are provided Incident Command System (ICS) training and are
expected to support the Fire Department's Incident Management
Team (IMT) function during major emergency activities.

HEALTH HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
In the 1970s and 1980s, major hazardous materials inciden
nationally and in Los Angeles County focused public attention on tl�
safe handling, storage, transportation, and disposal of hazardot
materials and wastes. In May 1982, the Los Angeles County Boai
of Supervisors established the Hazardous Materials Control Progra
in the Department of Health Services. Originally, the progra
focused on the inspection of hazardous waste generating business(
but since expanded to include hazardous materials inspection
criminal investigations, site mitigation oversight, and emergent
response operations, On July 1, 1991, the program was transfers(
to the Fire Department and its name changed to Health Hazardot
Materials Division (HHMD).
e
s
The mission of the HHMD is to protect the public health and th�
environment throughout Los Angeles County from accident
releases and improper handling, storage, transportation, and dispos�I
of hazardous materials and wastes through coordinated efforts of
inspections, emergency response, enforcement, and site mitigation
oversight.

The nearest Los Angeles County Fire Department Haz-Mat Task
Force is located at Fire Station 43, 921 So. Stimson Avenue Indust
Ca. 91746 (626) 968-1978. The resources in the Task .Force are a
four -person Engine Company along with a five -person specialized
Haz-Mat Unit. Additional Haz-Mat Units are available if needed, frc

URBAN SEARCH & RESCUE
After the 1987 Whittier Earthquake, the L.A. County Board
Supervisors reaffirmed the fire department's role as the prima
search and rescue agency during disasters; soon thereafter, Fi
Chief P. Michael Freeman ordered the establishment of
departmental USAR committee to recommend development of a ne,
comprehensive system to manage urban search and resci
incidents.
The USAR Committee consists of L.A. County Fire departme 't
personnel certified as California state instructors for Rescue System
I and Emergency Trench Rescue. All are certified Swift water Rescu
Technicians, and several are certified Swift water Rescue Technicia
Instructors, and some are lifeguards. All are trained in confined spac
rescue, high angle rescue, and the use of Biopack SCBA's, helicopt r
rescue, rescue diving, and other specialties.
Several members have been extensively involved in OES and FEM
US&R program development since its inception, and all USA
Committee members are assigned to the Department's OES/FEM
US&R task force.
Within the L.A. County Fire Department USAR system, the level c
skill of USAR committee members and other technical rescu
specialists has been designated as USAR Level 3 (there are mor
than 100 personnel trained to Level 3). The USAR Committee i
tasked with research and development, planning, development c
training materials and standard operating procedures, coordination c
department -wide USAR training, training of the department's USA]
units, and administration and maintenance of the department'
OES/FEMA US&R task force.
W4
To provide technical rescue training, several special sites have
been developed. The facilities include structural collapse simulation
buildings, debris piles, vertical rescue props, and undergrour?d
confined space props.
The LACoFD has conducted training to certify over 700 L.A. Cour
fire fighters in Rescue Systems I and Emergency Trench Rescu
Most have also completed Swift water Rescue Technician I or Riv
and Flood Rescue Technician, and many are paramedics. In the L.,
County Fire . Department system, this skill level is known as USA
Level 2.
Technical rescue and disaster response has become a standard rol
of fire departments in many parts of the country. It has been said the
the impact of urban search and rescue to the fire service is akin t
that of hazardous materials response and EMS. It has created a se
of change in philosophy and strategies, and a revolution c
equipment, training, knowledge, and capabilities. In Los Angele
County, the benefits of these changes have been clearl
demonstrated in recent years. Earthquakes, other disasters, and th
surety of "daily" rescues will certainly provide substantial tests of th
L.A. County USAR program, as well as local, state, and feder,
US&R systems.
USAR Unit 103 is located at 7300 South Paramount Blvd. Pig
Rivera, 90660 and is the first responding USAR Unit to the city
Diamond Bar. Swiftwater Unit 87, a specialized Unit staffed with tv
personnel, is outfitted specifically for most types of swift water rescu
It is located at Fire Station 87, 140 South Second Ave, Industry, C
91746-2413.

FIRE STATIONS
Your local fire station may say "Los Angeles County" over the garag
door, but it is really your local fire station. Here are a few reason
why...
Design: As your city's fire station, it is designed to fit into youw
surrounding community or meet the criteria established by the Cita
Council and- zoning officials. Architectural compatibility is the key
The station position on the property is placed so as to minimize loca
traffic disruptions, while promoting rapid response to emergencies
whether they are someone in your family with a heart attack of
difficulty breathing to a large-scale fire at a local shopping center o
warehouse.
Our stations are designed to be friendly looking and inviting to thos
we protect, while purposely avoiding the institutional or fortress look.
58
r
Layout: We typically have a large garage in the middle as the building
focal point. This is known as the Apparatus Floor. The fire fighters'
sleeping quarters and shower/locker room, kitchen and dining area
are on the other side. Since firefighters now come in both genders, all
stations are being built and retrofitted to accommodate the needs Of
both sexes.
Latest changes and features: The LA County Fire Department, your
fire department, is continually upgrading its facilities to meet changing
legal and social mandates, such as:
❑ American with Disabilities Act accommodations
❑ Gender-based sleeping and rest room requirement
❑ Diesel exhaust removal/ventilation systems, protecting t
health of your local firefighters
❑ Environmentally -friendly above ground diesel fuel tans
eliminate unseen leaks into the soil and to meet the Fede
Clean Water Act requirements
Coming soon: modifications to parking areas and maintenanc
practices so vehicle oil and washing does not pollute the ocean
through the County's storm drains. You can see all these feature
and talk to your neighborhood firefighters on Fire Service Day. A
our stations will have an open house that day.

Meeting Date: September 3, 2002
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA RE�'ORT
TO: Honorable.Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: Linda C. Lowry, City Manag 4
TITLE: Authorize the City Manager to Contract with Dubberly Garcia Associates, In . to
Prepare a Library Bond Act Application ($116,648)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into an agr ement with
Dubberly Garcia Associates, Inc. for an amount not -to -exceed $116,648 to complete a even phase
grant application for funding through the California Reading and Literacy Improvement and Public
Library Construction and Renovation Bond Act of 2000 (Library Bond Act). I
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
In the FY 2002-03 budget, the City Council appropriated $205,000 for services associated with the
creation of a Library Bond Act application. This amount includes $130,000 for a library se ices
consultant to prepare the Library Bond Act application, $25,000 for a survey of registered oters, and
$50,000 for additional architectural services. Therefore, sufficient funds are available in th FY 2002-
03 budget for this contract.
BACKGROUND:
The Library Bond Act provides money for the construction of new public libraries or for ren vation of
existing libraries. The City is considering applying for Library Bond Act funds to pay a porton of the
construction costs for a new 21,000 sq. ft. library at Summitridge Park. The library would a located
next to the Community/Senior Center which is currently under construction.
The Library Bond Act will pay 65% of the construction costs while the City is required to provide 35%
of the funding. The funds cannot be used for the purchase of the collection (books), furniture, fixtures
or other equipment such as computers nor can the funds be used to operate or maintain the facility.
In August the City solicited proposals from approximately 10 qualified library services cohsultants to
prepare a Library Bond Act application. In order for the services to be eligible for reimbursement from
the Library Bond Act if the City's application is successful, the consultants must meet certain criteria.
Unfortunately, the City only received one proposal, from Dubberly Garcia Associates, Inc' in the
amount of $116,648. Based on the attached correspondence and phone conversations etween staff
and other library consultants, the lack of response to the City's proposal is because the o her qualified
consultants have prior commitments and cannot accommodate additional work. Dubberly Garcia
Associates, Inc. meets the criteria for reimbursement from the Library Bond Act if the City's
application is approved.
DISCUSSION:
The City is currently developing a statistically valid survey of registered voters to gauge the
community's interest in financially supporting the operations of a new library. We expect o receive
the results of the survey in early October. Based on the results of the survey, the City m reconsider
submitting a Library Bond Act funding application.
However, because the next deadline for submission of an application is March 2003, the Pity needs
to continue to move forward even as the survey is being administered. The final deadline for a
Library Bond Act funding application is January 2004.
If approved by the City Council, Dubberly Garcia Associates, Inc. will provide the followin scope of
services to the City as detailed in the attached report;
1. Produce a community needs assessment.
2. Assist in negotiations with County regarding operating costs of new facility and, if n gotiations
fail, assist in the withdrawal of City from County library system.
3. Assist in negotiations with the two school districts to produce a joint use cooperativ
agreement (a highly desirable component of Library Bond Act application).
4. Develop library building program.
5. Create library plan of service.
6. Complete application form.
7. Assist with completion of Bond Act application check list.
All of the services above are either required or highly desirable elements of an application for funding
through the Library Bond Act.
The City will structure the agreement with Dubberly Garcia Associates, Inc. to pay for eac service as
it is completed. So that if the City decides, based on the results of the survey or for other reasons,
not to pursue a Library Bond Act funding application, the City will only pay the appropriate rorated
amount for work performed.
By authorizing the City Manager to enter into the agreement, City staff can move quickly tol draft the
agreement and authorize the consultant to proceed without delay.

Dear Mr. Doyle,
Thank you for your recent Request for Proposal regarding preparation of a Bond
Program application for a new Diamond Bar Library.
My current and projected workload includes several projects that have fully
committed my time for the balance of 2002. I would not be able to start a new
project until March 2003. Unless the City can defer the beginning of this project
until that time, I doubt that my proposal would be competitive, and with the
deadlines associated with the Library Construction Bond, I realize that is
unrealistic.
Thank you for contacting me, however, and much good luck on your project.
Sincerely,
Kathryn Page

Dear Mr. Doyle:
I want to thank you for the opportunity you gave me yesterday to discuss in
such detail the scope of work covered by your current Library Consultant RFP.
It is indeed and important and exciting project.
After speaking with you I have carefully reviewed the status of our present
commitments and responsibilities to our present clients and have reluctantly
concluded that we would be unable to give the time and close attention that
the scope of work demands and deserves. Therefore, we cannot submit a
proposal covering the full scope of the RFP.
However, we would be pleased to prepare the Needs Assessment Study and
Building Program as well as do the review of drawings and specifications and
working with the architects if you wish to separate these elements. If this
is possible please let us know.
Be assured that our interest in the new Diamond Bar Library remains. If we
can be of any assistance in the future, please let us know. our schedule may
not always be so crowded.
Thank you again for the very cordial and helpful description you presented of
your expectations. We wish you well in the choice of your Library Consultant
and in the successful conclusion of all project objectives .
Sincerely yours,

AGENDA REPORT

VIA: Linda C. Lowry, City Manago�4
TITLE: Introduce Ordinance No. 09(2002) amending Title 15 of the Diamonc
Municipal Code and adopt Resolution No. 2002-67 determining
modifications to the California Building, Plumbing and Electrical Code:
reasonably necessary.
Recommendation:
Approve first reading by title only and waive full reading of Ordinance No. 09(2002),
a public hearing for September 17, 2002 and adopt Resolution No. 2002-67.
Budget Implication: None.
Background:
Bar
that
are
set
Every three years, the State of California reviews various Model Building ode
regulations and typically adopts the most current California Building Codes printed by
the International Conference of Building Officials (ICBG). The codes most recently
adopted by the State are the "California Building Code," 2001 Edition, Volumes 1 arid 2,
including all appendices thereto, the "California Mechanical Code," 2001 Edition and the
appendices thereto, the "California Plumbing Code," 2001 Edition and the appendices
thereto, the "California Electrical Code," 2001 Edition and the appendices thereto.
Local jurisdictions are required to adopt these codes by ordinance or they
automatically be adopted by operation of law. The State allows local municipalitif
amend the California Building Codes to meet the unique climatic, geographical,
topographical conditions of a city. The most significant technical changes
summarized below and in the next few pages.
Discussion:
wi I I
:s to
and
are
Proposed is an Ordinance amending Title 15 of the Municipal Code of the City of
Diamond Bar. Staff has also provided a Resolution making express findings and
determinations that modifications to the California Building Code, California Plumbing
Code, and California Electrical Code are reasonably necessary because of local
climatic, geological or topographical conditions.
Mayor and Members of the City Council
September 3, 2002

History of Building Codes:
The building code is not a modern concoction/invention. The history of building
regulation and codes extends back thousands of years. We find mention of building
laws from the time of ancient Babylonian Empire of Hammurabi, about 2000 B.C. The
building code of Hammurabi is the earliest known code of law. Excerpts from this ode
include: "If a builder has built a house for a man and his work is not strong, and if the
house he has built falls in and kills the householder, that builder shall be slain."
Our American building codes evolved from the cycle of needs and dangers arising out
of unregulated construction. The colonists took whatever building materials were at
hand and constructed hastily improvised shelters. As has always, unfortunately, )een
the case, our modern building codes were the result of an evolutionary process tha has
its roots deeply embedded in disaster and tragedy. From 1800 to 1900, 11 major
American cities were devastated by fires that took unrecorded numbers of lives and
damaged or destroyed property in the hundreds of millions of dollars, includinc the
Chicago fire of 1871. It is probably safe to say that a combination of building inspe tion
and fire prevention efforts working together have resulted in great reductions i fire
losses.
When the question is asked, "Why do we need building laws?", it would be safe to say
that in the past 5000 years, millions of lives have been sacrificed for lack of such laws.
The primary intent of building regulation is to provide reasonable control for
construction, use and occupancy of buildings and all of their various components.
Thus, such codes are minimum in nature, however the word minimum should not be
misconstrued as inferior or shoddy work.
Codes must be based upon what is generally accepted as good standard of
construction. Only those codes that are reasonable, practical, or necessary ca be
legally enforced. Properly written codes will contain provisions requiring that buildings
and structures be erected, utilized and maintained in a manner reducing the ri k to
human life. The authority to regulate construction and use of buildings and structures
through the application of codes is a valid and proper exercise of the enforcement
agency, be it the state, county or municipality.
City Adoption:
In May 1999, the Diamond Bar City Council adopted the 1998 California Building C des
to meet state mandates. Since then, the State has adopted the most current Building
Codes printed by the International Conference of Building Officials. During the state
adoption process, changes and omissions occurred. These changes and omissionc, are
enclosed in the 2001 edition of above referenced codes. In May of this year, the Sta a of
California adopted the 2001 codes, which allowed local cities, by law, 180 days to f Ilow
suit if said cities intend to modify state codes. This year, local cities have until
Mayor and Members of the City Council
September 3, 2002
Page Three
November 1, 2002 to amend and adopt the 2001 State Codes.
The 2001 State Model Codes included the integration of three Model Codes: l The
B.O.C.A. Code; the S.B.C.C. Code; and the I.C.B.O. Code. By integrating the hree
codes, the 2001 State Model Code is widely used throughout the United States. The
2001 edition includes two volumes. Volume One includes administrative, fire anc life -
safety, and field inspection provisions. Volume Two contains structural engine ring
design provisions; and material, testing and installation standards.
The most significant technical change from the 1998 State Codes to the 2001
Codes are as follows:
In the engineering section of the California Building Code, structural member values
have been reduced, which means that larger framing/structural members are to be
used. Stricter design criteria are mandated for both commercial and resid ntial
structures. These changes are due to the knowledge acquired by designers and code
administrators during the period following the 1998 Northridge earthquake. Other
changes include penetration through fire walls, flame barriers, parapet construction,
labels for fire doors, sprinkler requirements for "M" occupancies, means of egress exit
travel requirements through intervening rooms, hazardous location - pool barrier, glass
and glazing scope, attic and laundry ventilation, design load for patio covers, repair of
building damaged by natural disaster, anchorage of concrete or masonry wal s in
seismic zones 3 & 4, and prescriptive sill bolting requirements for seismic zones 3 & 4
have been increased.
The following describes recommended amendments pertaining to the City of Diar�iond
Bar to the California Building Codes:
Section 30121.2 "Permits not required for fences not over 6 feet high" of the
Uniform Administrative code is deleted. This would require a fence, on -
retaining, to have a permit and be inspected. The change is due to many wall
failures, strong winds, storms, seismic events and expansive soil conditions.
Section 202.c is amended to give the Building Official "Right of Entry" wh n in
possession of a warrant.
Section 204.1(b) establishes the City Council to act as a Board of Appeals in
making a final determination of any appeal filed against the Building Official's
code interpretations or alternate materials.
Section 301(a) has been amended to require the Building staff to collect permit
information for all demolitions, thus mandating the Department's review of all
demolition sites for maintenance and safety conditions (e.g. pedestrian
protection).

Section 301.2.1.1. has been amended to further define storage sheds,l, tool
sheds, and similar accessory buildings. After reviewing Code Enforcement (files,
it has come to our attention that so-called tool sheds and playhouses are often
equipped with elaborate electrical and plumbing systems, which may be usd for
housing people. This amendment requires a permit for such a structure.
Section 303.4 has been amended to reduce the demolition permit duration from
180 days to 45 days. This amendment will allow Building staff to review the
building sites more frequently, thus expediting the demolition phase of projects
and reducing the possible eyesores related to demolition projects.
Section 1806.10 is added and amended to establish minimum design criteria for
all foundation work in expansive soil conditions. Throughout the City of Diamond
Bar, expansive soil (adobe) exists, which mandates a soils report for any
foundation work. By adopting this amendment, the costly soils report can be
omitted from typical room addition plans.
Section 1503 has been amended to require a Class "C" roof material for all new
buildings and existing buildings throughout the City when twenty-five percent
(25%) or more of the roofed area is re -roofed within a one year period. The lass
"C" rated roof is only effective against very small fires and may consist of ood
shakes, which have been treated with fire retardant materials.
Section 3304.5 (Appendix) is added to transfer the power and duties us ally
exercised by the Building Official on all items dealing with excavation and grz ding
to the City Engineer. This amendment is proposed due to the complexity o the
submitted grading plans, due to the diverse topography in the City of Diamond
Bar. Dealing with this type of challenge requires the expertise of a civil engi eer
that is accustomed in addressing these projects, and this amendmentould
address this need. Article 336-3 (a) Uses Permitted.
336-3 (a) Type NM is amended to read: "Type NM cable shall be permitte for
),^+1- exposed concealed work in normally dry locations. It shall be permissible to
install or fish Type NM cable in air voids in masonry block or tile walls where
such walls are not exposed or subject to excessive moisture or dampness."
336-3 (b) Type NMC is amended to read: "Type NMC cable shall be permi ed:
(1) for both concealed work in dry, moist, damp, or Corr sive
locations; (2) in outside and inside walls of masonry block or tile; (3) in a shallow
chase in masonry, concrete, or adobe protected against nails or screws by a
steel plate at least 1/16 inch (1.59 mm) thick and covered with plaster, adobe, or
similar finish."

These changes will help eliminate damage to nonmetallic cable in locations sub
damage due to weather, ultra -violet light, or personal use (i.e. garages, attics,
exterior soffits, under open -roofed patios).
Article 336-4. Uses not Permitted.
336-4 (a) Type NM or NMC. "Types NM and NMC cables shall not be
any dwelling or structure exceeding three floors above grade: (2) as
entrance cable; (3) in commercial garages having hazardous (c
locations as provided in Section 511-3; (4) an theaters and 6imilar leGatie
permitted—by—Sec-ti R 501 4(b), and 504. and and indu
buildings. For the purpose of this article, the first floor of a building
be that floor that has fifty percent or more of the exterior wall surface
level with or above finished grade. One additional level that is the first
and not designed for human habitation and used only for vehicle par
storage, or similar use shall be permitted. "
In many cases, the Building Department has encountered damage to nonmei
sheathed cable during inspections of commercial tenant improvements. Most o
damage is due to the use of steel studs, mandated by the Building Code. The ori
article contained many exceptions to commercial use already, however this change
broaden the safety net to include office type uses.
Table 300-5. "Minimum Cover Requirements, 0 to 600 Volts, Nominal, BL
Inches (Cover is defined as the shortest distance measured between a pc
the top surface of any direct buried conductor, cable, conduit or other ra(
and the top surface of finished grade, concrete, or similar cover.)
conductors, cables, conduits, or other raceway used for one -and two t
dwelling driveways and parking areas, and used for no other purpose,
be buried no less than 24 inches below finished grade. "
Due to the expansive -type soil throughout Diamond Bar, it is necessary to
additional inches to bury electrical wiring under one -and -two family dwelling d
and parking areas.
The proposed ordinance reintroduces the Uniform Administrative Code, 1997 Ed
which will aid the Building Official in administrative, organizational and enforce
rules and regulations for the technical codes that regulate site preparation
construction, alteration, moving, demolition, repair, use and occupancy of build
structures and building service equipment within the City of Diamond Bar.

Also, the proposed ordinance reintroduces the Uniform Housing Code, 1997 Edition.
This Code establishes minimum requirements for housing standards, thus enhancing
the quality of life in Diamond Bar. It gives the City authority to address maintenance of
residential housing as it relates to required exiting, minimum light and ventilation,
sanitation facilities, electrical wiring and weather protection. Within the Code, there is a
provision for abatement of substandard housing. Highlighted within the ordinance is an
addition to the Plumbing Code requiring all new structures to be equipped with an
additional main for future use of reclaimed water for landscape irrigation systems.
The Building staff discussed the high rise package (Section 1807, Special Provis ons)
with the Fire Department and concluded that the County equipment (ladders) can -neet
the 75 foot height limitation mandated by Section 1807 of the 2002 California Building
Code. The Department recommended that no modification to this section is required.
A response from the Building Industry Association (B.I.A.) was received indicatinthat
proposed amendments to the Uniform Model Codes were minor in nature and woul not
have an impact on the building industry.
The Fire Department has received and reviewed the proposed California Building Code
amendments and has determined that the amendments will not negatively impact the
Fire Codes.
Pursuant to the Government Code, a public hearing must be scheduled with a
published at least 14 days prior to the adoption of the ordinance.

RESOLUTION NO. 2002-67
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND
BAR MAKING EXPRESS FINDINGS AND DETERMINATIONS THAT
MODIFICATIONS TO THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE, CALIFORNIA
PLUMBING CODE, AND CALIFORNIA ELECTRICAL CODE, AS
ADOPTED BY ORDINANCE NO. 09 (2002) ARE REASONABLY
NECESSARY BECAUSE OF LOCAL CLIMATIC, GEOLOGICAL OR
TOPOGRAPHICAL CONDITIONS.
A. Recitals.
(i) California Health and Safety Code Section 17922 requires all citibs to
adopt, as the City Building Standards Code, the State Building Standards Code adpted
pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 4 of Part 2.5 of Division 13 of the California H' alth
and Safety Code.
(ii) Section 17958.5 of the California Health and Safety Code provid6s, in
pertinent part, as follows:
"...a city or county may make such changes or modifications i the
requirements contained in the provisions published in the State Building
Standards Code and the other regulations adopted pursuant to Section
17922 as it determines, pursuant to the provisions of Section 17958. , are
reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geologica or
topographical conditions."
(iii) Prior to making the modification permitted under Section 1795 .5 of
the California Health and Safety Code, this Council is required to make an ex rens
finding that such modifications or changes are reasonably necessary.
(iv) This Council desires to amend the provisions of sections 18 6.10,
1503, 1504, Table No. 15A, 904.22, and appendix Chapter 33 of the "California Bu Iding
Code", 2001 Edition.
(v) This Council desires to amend the provisions of Sections 32� and
722.6 of the "California Plumbing Code", 2001 Edition.
(vi) This Council desires to amend the provisions of Section 110-14, 336-
3, Section 336-4 and Table No. 300.5 of the "California Electrical Code", 2001 Editi n.
(vii) All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have
occurred.
B. Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it found, determined and resolved as fol
In all respects as set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution.
2. This Council does hereby expressly find and determin that
the amendments set forth in Ordinance 09 (2002) am -ding
Section 1806.10 and appendix Chapter 33 of the "Cali ornia
Building Code," 2001 Edition, and adding subsection 722.6 f the
"California Plumbing Code," 2001 Edition, are reasonably
necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographic
conditions. This express finding is supported and based upon the
following more specific findings and determinations:
a. The hillsides in Diamond Bar are composed of Puente Formjation,
and similar weak geological materials, while neighboring flatland areas are composed of
more stable fill and alluvial materials. These materials may be naturally unsta le or
weak in terms of physical support. These highly expansive soil condition are
vulnerable to earth movement.
b. The City of Diamond Bar experiences diverse temperatures, hich
promotes expansion and contraction of the soil. This condition is very damaging to
expansive type soil.
C. Because of the above-described climatic and geological condi ions,
the City of Diamond Bar requires special engineering to support habitable stru tures
within the unstable soil areas and requires additional measures to be tak n in
connection with excavation and grading on private properties. This will dec ease
possible damage due to natural earth expansion and seismic activity.
3. This Council does hereby expressly find. and determine thal the
amendments set forth in Ordinance No. 09 L20021, amending Sections 1503, 1504, and
Table No. 15A of the "California Building Code", 2002 Edition, are reaso ably
necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographic conditions. This ex ress
finding is supported and based upon the following more specific findings and
determinations:
a. Located throughout the City of Diamond Bar, as well asi the
surrounding cities, are numerous concentrations of structures which have oofs
constructed of thinly cut pieces of wood, otherwise known as untreated shakes, as well
as untreated wood shingles. These untreated wood shakes and shingles are extrmely
combustible in nature.
b. The City of Diamond Bar, as well as the surrounding ci#i s, is
located in an area climatically classified as "arid" and prone to winds of high vel city.
Moreover, due to the and nature of the area, the weather during the windy periods t nds
to be very warm and dry. The dry weather conditions are very hazardous tc the
surrounding undeveloped hillsides and wild lands which neighbor highly popu ated
areas.
C. Because of the above-described climatic and meteorological
conditions, the City of Diamond Bar and the surrounding cities have historically su red
from occasional structural and brush fres. These have often been difficult to control
due to the high velocity, dry winds carrying sparks and cinders to surrounding struct res
with roofs constructed as described in paragraph 3.a. above.
4. This Council does hereby expressly find and determine that the
amendments set forth in Ordinance No.09 (2002), amending Sections 904.22 ol the
"California Building Code", 2001 Edition, are reasonably necessary because of focal
climatic, geological, or topographic conditions. This express finding is supporte and
based upon the following more specific findings and determinations:
a. The City of Diamond Bar is located in a seismically active are and
is in close proximity to earthquake fault zones (Whittier fault, just south of T nner
Canyon; Chino fault passes within a mile of the city's eastern boundary), an it is
reasonably foreseeable that an earthquake would render the City of Diamon Bar
particularly vulnerable to devastation. Further, the City of Diamond Bar is bisect d by
major freeways, located primarily in a north -south direction. Substantial number o flood
control facilities additionally exist, as well as freeway overpasses and major ra Iroad
right-of-ways.
b. Because of the above-described geological conditions within the
city, and the substantial amount of freeway, railroad, and flood control fa ilities
throughout the community, the City of Diamond Bar, in the event of an earthquake may
be unable to dispatch an adequate- number of fire personnel and apparatus to sup ress
fires and conduct rescue operations. Moreover, the conditions within Diamon Bar
likewise occur in surrounding communities, hereby rendering mutual aid assis ante
problematic, at best.
C. Furthermore, climatic conditions within the community render it
extremely likely that, in the event of seasonal high winds and earthquake occurrin , the
County Fire Department would be unable to suppress numerous fires occ rring
throughout the community. Installation of sprinkler systems in buildings above hree
stories in height will enable suppression activities to be directed to those areas, hich
are unprotected in the event of earthquake activity.
5. This Council does hereby expressly find and determine that the
amendments set forth in Ordinance No. 09 (2002), amending Section 318.0 o the
"California Plumbing Code", 2001 Edition, are reasonably necessary because of ocal
climatic, geological or topographical conditions. This express finding is supported and
based upon the following more specific findings and determinations:
a. The City of Diamond Bar is subject to drought conditions. Its ater
provider, the Metropolitan Water District, may restrict focal water supplies in such c ses
and impose surcharges on water supplied in excess of these levels. As water sup lies
are restricted further and the price of water rises, the City of Diamond Bar will fi d it
difficult to maintain hillside erosion control and the general quality of life in our
community will suffer.
b. Because of the above-described climatic condition affecting theCity
of Diamond Bar, the need for alternative methods of providing landscape irrigati n is
enormous. The use of reclaimed water will help to meet this demand, now and in the
future.
6. This Council does hereby expressly find and determine that the
amendments set forth in Ordinance No. 09 (2002), amending Sections 110-14, 33 -3,
336-4 and Table No. 300.5 of the "California Electrical Code", 2001 Edition, are
reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditi ns.
This express finding is supported and based upon the following more specific find ngs
and determinations:
a. As found in paragraph 4.b., the City of Diamond Bar is located in a
seismically active area and is in close proximity to earthquake fault zones (Whittier fault,
just south of Tonner Canyon; Chino fault passes within a mile of the city's eastern
boundary), and it is reasonably foreseeable that an earthquake would render the City of
Diamond Bar particularly vulnerable to devastation. Further, the City of Diamond kar is
bisected by major freeways, located primarily in a north -south direction. Subs antisl
number of flood control facilities additionally exist, as well as freeway overpasse and
major railroad right-of-ways.
b. Because of the above-described geological conditions withl the
city, and the substantial amount of freeway, railroad, and flood control fa .
li
t
ies
throughout the community, the City of Diamond Bar, in the event of an earthquake may
be unable to dispatch an inadequate number of fire personnel and apparat s to
suppress fires and conduct rescue operations. Moreover, the conditions ithin
Diamond Bar likewise occur in surrounding communities, hereby rendering mutu I aid
assistance problematic, at best.
C. Furthermore, as found in paragraph, 2.b., of this Resol tion,
climatic conditions within the community render it extremely likely that in the ev nt of
seasonal high winds and earthquake occurring, the County Fire Department would be
unable to suppress numerous fires occurring throughout the community. The fore
protection of electrical wiring is essential in the above described events an
protection is magnified in high occupancy buildings.
ADOPTED AND APPROVED this _ day of, 2002.
