MEMORANDUM
INTER -OFFICE CORRESPONDENCE _
LAW ENFORCEMENT & TRAFFIC SERVICES
PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
VIA: James DeStefano, City Man
FROM: Joe Maxey, Lieutenant/David Doy e, Asst. City Manager
SUBJECT: Public Safety Sub -Committee
DATE: March 29, 2007
In the 1990's the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department established Public Safety
Committees to act as a liaison between the local County Sheriff stations and the
unincorporated County areas they served. The Committees were necessary because
the unincorporated areas didn't have local elected officials to address local law
enforcement issues. The Diamond Bar/Walnut Sheriff station's Public Safety
Committee was originally established for this purpose.
The Committee included citizens and community leaders from the Rowland Heights and
Covina areas selected by the then Station Captain. There was no authority placed with
the Committee and the members were informed of law enforcement issues affecting the
County areas and how those matters would be resolved. Eventually the Committee was
expanded to include the contracted cites of Diamond Bar and Walnut. However, unlike
the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County, Diamond Bar residents have direct
contact with City Council members and City staff. Therefore, it is recommended that the
City create its own Public Safety Committee and focus the efforts of the Committee on
issues affecting the City of Diamond Bar rather than the unincorporated area or issues
in the City of Walnut.
As proposed, the Diamond Bar Public Safety Sub -Committee would include the
following, Mayor, Chairman, Mayor Pro -Tem, Vice -Chairman, along with representatives
from the City's Public Safety program such as the Los Angeles County Fire, and Los
Angels County Sheriff Departments. Those members would include the area Fire Chief,
local Fire Captains, Sheriff's Station Captain, Team Lieutenant, Traffic Sergeant, City
Manager, and Assistant City Manager. In addition, representatives of other public safety
programs such as the CHP, Animal Control, Code Enforcement, and Red Cross would
be invited to participate on an as -needed basis.
The Sub -Committee would meet on a quarterly, or as -needed, basis to address public
safety matters that come to the attention of City staff or public safety agencies. The
Sub-Cornmittee would review the on going efforts in public safety and discuss any
matters that could affect or enhance the public safety programs with the City. In
addition, the Sub -Committee would review the proposed public safety budgets and
make recommendations on public safety staffing and equipment needs. Short
presentations could be presented on statistics, efforts in specific areas such as
emergency preparedness, homeland security, neighborhood watch, brush clearances,
fire suppression, or any matter of significance.
This Sub -Committee would be an effective tool in the on going communication between
the City Council, Staff, and residents on all aspects on their Public Safety with the City
of Diamond Bar.

CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION
MARCH 6, 2007
UNAFT
STUDY SESSION: M/Tye called the Study Session to order at 5.34 p.m.
in Room CC -8 of the South Coast Air Quality Management District/Government Center,
21865 Copley Dr., Diamond Bar, CA.
Present: Council Members Chang, Everett, Herrera,
MPT/Tanaka and Mayor Tye.
Also Present: James DeStefano, City Manager; David Doyle,
Assistant City Manager; Michael Jenkins, City Attorney; David Liu, Public Works
Director; Bob Rose, Community Services Director; Linda Magnuson, Finance Director;
Nancy Fong, Community Development Director; Ryan McLean, Senior Management
Analyst; Kimberly Molina, Assistant Engineer; Alfredo Estevez, IS Technician, and
Tommye Cribbins, City Clerk.
► UPDATE REGARDING STATE ROUTE 57/60 LONG TERM CONGESTION
RELIEF STRATEGY.
CM/DeStefano stated that tonight's report was an update and prelude to asking
the City Council to take action to engage consultants to work with the City on
short and long term congestion relief strategies for SR 57/60.
PWD/Liu reported that the SR57/60 interchange is both a local and regional
problem. D.B. has made the interchange the City's focus for achieving its
regional transportation agenda and goals. Due to the City's geographical
location and what is at stake for the City's future, staff's view is that D.B. must
make every effort to ensure that decisions made by others work for and not
against the interests of the City, its businesses and residences.
Steve Brown, Sasaki & Associates stated that while the HOV Project is a good
project and an incremental step it has not solved all of the congestion issues.
Several projects are pending: 1) Grade Separation Project on Brea Canyon, 2)
Concept of adding ramps to the Lemon Ave. Interchange, 3) Grand Avenue
Interchange Reconstruction and Upgrade, 4) potential redevelopment of the golf
course project and, 5) ongoing project development activities in the Industry
Business Center. Each of these projects has been looked at on its own merit.
However, no one has stepped back to look at the entire area in a comprehensive
manner. The Grand/Lemon Ave. Interchange Projects are moving forward
concurrently and are slated to be completed about 2011. The HOV Project is
completed. There is an ongoing MTA Goods Movement Study looking at freight
movement throughout the area and region. MTA is also looking at physical
options for the SR57/60 area and the City would piggyback on what MTA is doing
to look at how their projects would or would not solve traffic issues. The Grade
Separation Project is scheduled for completion next year.
MARCH 6, 2007 PAGE 2 CC STUDY SESSION
Mr. Brown reiterated that during the Study Session of November 21, 2006,
Council directed staff to come back with a strategy to address the following three
items: 1) evaluate the performance of the long-term congestion relief and local
access options, 2) develop a phasing scenario that gives confidence to the City
and public with respect to the fit of all pieces, and 3) begin to undertake a public
outreach program to inform residents and businesses about what is going on.
Mr. Brown stated that a key part of the strategy is developing a better analysis
tool with respect to D.B.'s interest as it relates to the golf course, circulation along
the freeway and in the City in general. He presented a simulation of the
conditions and discussed possible mitigation considerations. He suggested that
staff should conduct an analysis of the golf course property to determine access
and impacts; test a combination of Grand, Lemon and other freeway -related
improvements to make sure that they meet the City's needs; partner with local
agencies in developing a suitable freeway system that leverages State and
F=ederal monies to the best extent possible; maximize developer contributions
and determine equity between the agencies that are participating in the process;
develop a public outreach program for the Grand/Lemon Project that takes
advantage of existing opportunities such as web pages, website, TV and so forth;
look at the ultimate freeway solution; look at detailed traffic plans for the
construction of Lemon and Grand to minimize impacts; and continue public
outreach during real time.
Mr. Brown explained that it takes years to develop projects and projects need to
be ready when funding becomes available. If the City is not prepared and their
projects are not defined they will not be funded. Long term, the City needs to
define the ultimate vision for the SR57/60 area, continue developing funding
mechanisms for the long-term vision, seek outside funding and record the City's
interest as individual freeway projects are constructed.
Mr. Brown stated that the bottom line cost for 2006/2007 - $37,000; for
2007/2008 - $57,000 and for 2008/2009 - $70,000 and subsequent years.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Gary Neely stated that the Caltrans' Project to add HOV lanes onto the SR60
from the SR57 through to SR605 is scheduled to commence in the Spring. MTA
is involved in the middle of the Fall projects and if there is a project the City
wants to move forward with, it may not want to wait.
► UPDATE REGARDING PROPOSED AERA ENERGY DEVELOPMENT
PROJECT.
CM/DeStefano stated that Aera Energy is interested in developing the acreage
between the incorporated cities of D.B. and Brea with a project that included a
portion that came before the City Council on December 19, 2006. On that date
the City Council approved the pre -annexation agreement, which set forth a
MARCH 6, 2007 PAGE 3 CC STUDY SESSION
process by which the Council would begin to look at the development
opportunities within the area and opportunities that might ultimately benefit the
City of D.B. Since that date, the City has been working with Aera and George
Basey on the environmental documentation that the City needs. Accordingly, the
City has employed under the City Manager's authority, Brad Bullard, as a project
manager. Staff is finalizing negotiations with the environmental consultant and
plan to bring an environmental impact report -writing consultant, experts that will
assist the City in reviewing and packaging the information. Staff is working with
Los Angeles and Orange counties to determine who will maintain the lead status
in the production of documents and the environmental impact report -writing
process as well as, public review and decision-making of the document.
CM/DeStefano said he presented the project to WCCA on January 31 and
Rowland Heights Coordinating Council on February 6 as it was presented to D.B.
CM/DeStefano explained that this is not a public hearing, only a public meeting.
In accordance with Council's direction the Council Members are admonished to
limit their questions and comments because this is a matter that will come before
the Council later in 2007.
George Basey stated that the proposed project area contains almost 3000 acres.
Property west of the freeway and north of the County boundary lies within the
community plan area of the unincorporated community of Rowland Heights. D.B.
lies to the north and east of the project. A portion of the property including 300
acres on the east side of the freeway lies within D.B.'s sphere of influence. He
used overhead maps to outline the property and the cities it touches. Oil
operations on the site date to the late 1800's and there has been cattle grazing
even longer. He displayed a series of graphics showing the existing topography
and conditions. In general, the oil operations are confined to the lower third of
the property (the southwest oilfield zone). He pointed out former Nike Missile
sites and an LA Sheriff's communication tower at an elevation of 14,023 (top of
the hill). He pointed out a large interior valley that is not generally visible except
from on the site. Along the freeway there are east and west facing slopes that
have a fair amount of tree resources, Over the past several years Aera has
conducted a number of biological surveys to understand the existing plant
communities. He advised that the lighter colored area represents the non-native
grasses that are primarily related to the years and years of grazing. The green
colored areas reflect the trees (walnuts and oaks) that are viewable from the
freeway. Multiple years of surveys have found three pairs of gnatcatchers and
Aera has designed a project that avoids impacting the gnatcatcher.
Mr. Basey said the project proposed is near the Orange County border consisting
of residential development, higher density attached and up to 10 acres of
commercial, a 20 -acre commercial site at the Brea Canyon interchange area and
open space. The project is committed to setting aside more than half of the
property as permanent open space with no burden to the taxpayers. In
continuing discussions with various community interests it became apparent that
MARCH 6, 2007 PAGE 4 CC STUDY SESSION
the originally proposed through road was not popular and conflicted with some of
the open space planning. As a result the project proposes a maximum of 75 units
that would take access onto Harbor Blvd. There is no access being proposed
northerly into Rowland Heights from Pathfinder Rd. As a part of an overall plan
Aera has been working on a comprehensive resource plan that would address all
issues related to the biological impacts downstream. About 200 of the 700 acres
in the green area are set aside for development leaving a significant amount of
open space for natural habitat. Looking from the north to the south as one
travels from D.B. into Orange County the oak woodlands on the east side will
remain untouched. Roughly 85% of the view shed along the SR57 will be
preserved. Additionally, Aera has pledged to keep the development off of the top
of the Nike site ridge top. He showed a copy of the land owned by City of
Industry and said his understanding was that it was acquired as open space.
Should the City of Industry choose a different land use the area would have to
undergo a separate environmental review. Mr. Basey showed a video simulating
the project area that showed a significant wildlife corridor running through the
area by using the basic limited vegetation and existing topography to create
connections through the canyon areas down through the oil field areas. There is
a major riparian restoration planned for the one -mile long drainage area that runs
through the middle part of the property near the county line where a water
treatment basin will be installed. Ultimately, there will be a direct unimpeded
connection of wildlife habitat area through the entire project.
Mr. Basey explained that one of the other misconceptions is about work that is
being done through LA County and in particular with regard to SEATAC. The
boundary was done in the 1970's and the shapes shown were done from aerial
photographs. There were never any on-site surveys done so the area is
somewhat suspect with respect to its current configuration. The SEATAC
comments completely ignored the other open space elements of the plan
including the wildlife corridor.
Mr. Basey concluded that Aera continues to work with D.B. with respect to the
1940 acres outlined in the pre -annexation agreement approved by Council in
December 2006 and Aera is committed to further definition of the proposed
project with more than half of the land left as permanent open space without
burden to the taxpayers and providing a wide range of high-quality housing and
shopping in an area where people choose to live.
CIVI/DeStefano reiterated that staff continues to work on getting the
environmental documentation and has hired a project manager to assist the City
in working through all of the components of the project. He further stated that
staff is close to recommending that the City enter into a contract with an
environmental consultant to bring the City closer to talking about the proposed
land uses and staff's ideas about ways in which those land uses could be
modified to further produce benefits to the City of D.B.

regarding the 58 -passenger Silver Streak Bus Line with free WiFi Service;
and, update on the progress of Foothill Transit's planned acquisition of MTA
Bus Line 684.
C/Chang asked what would happen after the September extension for Bus
Line 684 expired and what would Foothill Transit's criteria be in deciding
whether to keep or abandon the line.
Mr. Kumar explained to C/Chang that the normal process is to have staff
review the line and if Foothill feels it is a line that can efficiently operate at a
certain productivity level staff would then recommend it to the Executive
Board.
C/Herrera thanked Foothill Transit for looking into possible acquisition of the
line. Although MTA was not willing to continue the line they were willing to
continue the line until September to allow Foothill Transit time to study the
route and make its recommendation. She appreciated that protocol would
allow for a seamless transfer for the residents. She asked how D.B.
residents could access the Silver Streak.
Mr. Kumar responded that line 42 currently travels through D.B. every 30
minutes from about 3:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and connects D.B. residents to
the Pomona Regional Transit Center, a main stop for the Silver Streak.
Residents would have to transfer in Pomona.

to the residents of D.B. and their transportation concerns.

MARCH 6, 2007 PAGE 6 CITY COUNCIL
CDD/Fong presented staff's report using a PowerPoint presentation
depicting the location, history and the components of the proposed project.
The proposed project is a gated community consisting of 99 homes that
would be clustered on about 12.5 acres of land with 16 remaining acres
preserved as open space. A new park will be constructed on about 4.6
acres. The major access is from Larkstone Dr. and the secondary access
from Morning Sun. The Applicant proposes to build homes ranging from
3100 sq. ft. to 3700 sq. ft. with the majority of homes being about 3100 sq. ft.
The proposed project requires approval of a General Plan Amendment to
remove the map restriction, a zone change to change the area of the three
parcels from R-1 to SP, a Specific Plan developed with special development
standards and design criteria, and the Vesting Tentative Tract for subdividing
the land to 99 units, a Conditional Use Permit and Development Review for
design of the homes and site planning, and a Tree Permit to remove some
trees that will be replaced. In addition, the Project requires a development
agreement to execute the entire project and to secure all improvements.
Also, the project requires an EIR, which was completed and certified by the
City Council on December 19, 2006.
CDD/Fong stated that during the December 19 Public Hearing residents
raised concerns about traffic and pedestrian safety. Council responded by
directing that the second gate should be proposed for use as an exit -only
gate and continued the Project to allow the applicant an opportunity to
prepare a revised traffic study. The survey concluded that there is little
pedestrian traffic, there are no school children walking or biking to school
and there were no reportable pedestrian accidents between 2001 and 2006.
Recently an area resident filed a lawsuit against the City challenging the EIR
with respect to traffic and pedestrian safety. By completing the traffic
addendum that addresses those concerns, the report has addressed all of
the concerns raised by the litigant. The City received information from an
attorney representing the resident in Rowland Heights indicating they would
consider having the access "entrance only" and with that concession he
would drop the lawsuit. Should the Council decide to approve the gate as an
entrance only it can do so because the revised traffic addendum addresses
the access as "entrance only." Along with the traffic addendum staff
prepared an addendum to the EIR that incorporated and updated the traffic
information. This addendum was prepared in compliance with CEQA.
CDD/Fong outlined the benefits of the Project. In exchange for removing the
map restriction to allow JCC to build 99 homes the Walnut Unified School
District will receive revenue from the sale of the parcel, which can in turn be
used to benefit the D.B. schools. Benefits to the City of D.B. include
remediation of the Morning Sun landslide, a public park on Larkstone Dr.
with 16 -acres of open space preserved, and up to $1.5 million for citywide
traffic improvement.
CDD/Fong stated staff's recommendation was to re -open the Public Hearing,
Receive Additional Public Testimony, Close the Public Hearing and take the
MARCH 6, 2007 PAGE 7 CITY COUNCIL

Kurt Nelson, JCCL, South Pointe West, thanked staff for the very thorough
report and for their patience in allowing the applicant to address concerns
raised by Mr. Coursen and other Rowland Heights neighbors. This allowed
the applicant to prepare the traffic addendum instilling confidence that the
proposed project was absolutely correct with no unacceptable level of service
impacts regardless of South Pointe Middle School being in session and
regardless of the restrictions or lack thereof on the secondary Morning Sun
gate. During the time that this matter has been continued, the Applicant met
with the Rowland Heights residents and the attorney that filed the CEQA
lawsuit and the Applicant believes there has been an acceptable resolution
with the change to "entrance only' at the secondary gate and that it would
not produce any unacceptable levels of service. Further, the applicant
believes the change will not unduly affect future residents of the project. The
MARCH 6, 2007 PAGE 8 CITY COUNCIL
Applicant wants to be a good neighbor to the Rowland Heights community
and enjoy a successful development. He said he believes the site is a
perfect site to develop this particular community; open space will be
preserved, 99 homes will be brought to market, as well as a public park and
benefit to the School District with the infusion of funds.
M/Tye reopened the Public Hearing
John Coursen, 1719 Chapel Hill Drive, Rowland Heights, assured Council
that the case Coursen v. City of Diamond Bar would be dropped upon
approval of the Project with the conditions that the secondary access gate on
Morning Sun Ave. by restricted to emergency ingress, emergency egress and
ingress only for the residents of the South Pointe Project. He appreciated
consideration of this matter and said he had a great amount of respect for
the City and staff's professionalism and courtesy.
M/Tye closed the Public Hearing.
C/Everett noted that he was very familiar with the project, had reviewed all of
the material prepared by staff, attended most of the meetings involving this
Project, and read all of the minutes and public hearing data to prepare for
voting on this matter. He met with a representative of the Developer and
learned nothing that had not already been covered in the documentation and
public correspondence and communication.
C/Herrera asked if the various Ordinances could be voted on as a group or
individually.
CA/Jenkins responded that when the time comes for a motion if the maker of
the motion intends to move approval it could be done with one single motion
in which all of the actions would be recited.
M/Tye asked Mr. Nelson if he was completely comfortable with the
Development Agreement as presented and Mr. Nelson responded
affirmatively.
CM/DeStefano stated that when the Council completed its deliberation and
was prepared to move forward with a motion, that it include the revisions to
Exhibit F (Larkstone Park). Secondly, the Council should change its previous
decision to make the Morning Sun gate from "Exit Only'to "Entrance Only" or
keep its original decision. Lastly, with respect to the Council having received
testimony that litigation would be dropped if Council were to take certain
actions, there is no guarantee that the litigation would be dropped and there
would be no protection from additional litigation that someone may wish to
file regarding any decision the Council might choose to make.
CA/Jenkins added that he completely concurred with CM/DeStefano's
comments and would point out to the Council that there are a number of
MARCH 6, 2007 PAGE 9 CITY COUNCIL
options in front of the Council that would be permissible within the EIR
document that has been prepared relative to entry and exit into this project.
The Council's decision on the issue should be based on what Council thinks
is in the best interests of the community and this project, and what the
Council believes is operationally most appropriate. The Council's decision
should not be influenced, in his judgment, by the existence of a lawsuitjust in
the same way that other decisions Council has made in the past should not
necessarily be influenced by threats of future lawsuits. The Council should
do what it believes to be best and right and if that means that the lawsuit is
dropped, so be it. And if it means that the lawsuit continues forward, so be it.
The Council's decision should be driven by what it believes is from a land
use point of view and from an environmental point of view, in the best
interest of the community and this project, and not on the basis that the
developer and the plaintiff in the litigation have arrived at a tentative
settlement.
C/Herrera said she was of the opinion that the Morning Sun gate should be
an ingress and egress and to make it an "entrance only" would place an
unnecessary and unfair burden on the Larkstone gate and place an unfair
burden on the residences that would suffer more traffic exiting from that point
because there is no secondary exit from Morning Sun. Therefore, she is in
favor of having both entrances permit both ingress and egress.
C/Everett said he respected C/Herrera's position and asked to clarify what he
heard. It sounded to him like the second gate was important to some people
and his concern was shall, or will or may with respect to the lawsuit. He
heard testimony from the sponsor of the lawsuit testify to what he believed
was in good faith that the litigant would cancel the lawsuit if the second gate
were changed to an "entrance only."
CA/Jenkins responded that it was his understanding that the applicant has
developed a settlement in concept with the petitioner in the lawsuit — he has
not seen anything in writing — that depends upon this Council choosing "entry
only" for the Morning Sun/Shepherd Hill Gate. That is his understanding. He
has not seen anything in writing that guarantees that it would be dropped but
he would say that it was his belief that if that were the decision that the
Council made that the lawsuit would be dismissed. But he has not seen
anything in writing that commits to the plaintiff dismissing the lawsuit.
Secondarily, what CM/DeStefano said quite correctly is that this is just one
individual and that there is no saying who might take exception to whatever
decision the City Council makes.
CM/DeStefano stated that with respect to the issue of the traffic impact from
the Morning Sun gate, based upon the Council's prior direction to staff the
gate was being focused on as an "exit only" gate. Staff and the City's
consultants were estimating that based upon an "exit only" gate on Morning
Sun that about 15% of the total trips might use that gate. It is somewhat a
circuitous route that eventually gets individuals to Walnut Leaf Dr. by the LA
MARCH 6, 2007 PAGE 10 CITY COUNCIL
Royal Vista Golf Course. 15% or maximum of about 150 trips per day using
the worst-case traffic engineering scenarios is negligible with respect to the
impacts on Morning Sun/Shepherd Hills as well as, to the impacts to
Larkstone and Lemon on the D.B. side. What it means in traffic engineering
terms and the way the traffic engineers has looked at all of the numbers and
typical behavioral patterns are that it would result in about 40 trips per day at
peak hour if the gate were "entrance only." 40 trips is a lot of trips but with
respect to the road capacity and the number of trips (volume) already on that
street on a school day it is microscopic in comparison and by addition. It is
arguably an addition. The traffic studies have been set so that the Council
can make the appropriate decision about how the gate should be handled
and what the impacts should be to the Rowland Heights side or the D.B.
side. The Council has the latitude through the analysis that is in the details
of the reports to get the Council to wherever it wishes to go. The issue of
"entrance only" on Morning Sun grew out of discussions that the Developer
had just last week or so with the neighborhood. There was a meeting on
February 26 that was hosted by the Developer and attended by about 70
individuals. D.B. staff members and a representative from Supervisor
Knabe's District were present. It was CM/DeStefano's understanding that as
a result of discussions during the neighborhood meeting a majority of
residents of the neighborhood supported an "entrance only" gate. With all
due respect to comments that have been made the Council can move in any
direction it deems appropriate and what it deems best for the community of
D.B. and this project.
MPT/Tanaka felt this was an outstanding project and as did C/Herrera, he
believed that restricting ingress/egress to a 99 -unit project would place an
undue burden on one side or the other and agreed that neither gate should
be restricted to exit only or entrance only.
C/Chang said that during a prior meeting the Council directed staff to study
the traffic and the Morning Sun gate as an exit only. Todaywith the situation
that happened in the neighborhood people know better than the Council and
if they prefer to have the gate be an entrance only and the traffic count does
not make a significant difference he would recommend that the Council keep
its direction to staff that it be a one-way street and support the residents to
have the Morning Sun gate as an entrance only. In the morning people are
rushing out and are under pressure. When they come back everybody is
more relaxed and he believed that an "entrance only" was better for the
people in the neighborhood. The Council should give the people the support
or kick the entire matter back to square one. If the Council has to start over
things may as well stay as they are. Give them the liberty of changing from
"exit only" to "entrance only" for the sake of the lawsuit and for the people.
He does not want to kill the project because it has come to this point and if
the Council believes it is a good project go ahead and approve the project
and change the "exit only" to "entrance only."
MARCH 6, 2007 PAGE 11 CITY COUNCIL
C/Everett agreed with MPT/Tanaka that this was a complex and a very good
project. He believed the issue of the secondary gate was important and that
it was important to keep it one way either way. His sense of the situation
from what he is hearing from interested parties is it seems there is a bearing
in favor of the secondary access as "entrance only" and he would tend to
agree.
M/Tye stated that in December the discussion was that Morning Sun would
be an egress only. If the Developer has decided that the best thing to do to
be a good neighbor— and he liked to think that D. B. is a good neighbor, is to
make it "entrance only" then it should be an entrance only. He said he did
not see it as a great deal different than a cul-de-sac with one way in and one
way out of the neighborhood. In this case people will have a convenient
second way in for a good portion of the 99 residents and he did not see it as
an imposition. People will be buying a home knowing that there is "entrance
only" from Morning Sun gate. With all due respect to CA/Jenkins and Mr.
Coursen whether or not the City was sued did not enter into his belief that it
was the right thing to do. Anybody can sue anybody for anything anytime
they want and what the Council decides here tonight might make Mr.
Coursen's action go away but it might prompt two or three other actions. He
felt it was right to change the gate to "entrance only" because the Developer
had worked in good faith with the neighbors. The neighborhood will change
appreciably as a result of this project and he believed the Developer had
worked very hard to make the impacts as minimal as possible. Therefore, he
would favor changing Morning Sun gate to "entrance only."
C/Chang moved, C/Everett seconded, to approve each of the resolutions
listed and introduce on First Reading the Ordinance listed in Item (c), Item
(d) and Item (e) with Morning Sun gate as "entrance only" for residents and
emergency ingress/egress permitted with changes listed as Exhibit F.

7.2 RESOLUTION NO. 2007-20: REQUESTING THE LOCAL AGENCY
FORMATION COMMISSION TO INITIATE PROCEEDINGS FOR THE
ANNEXATION OF 106.7 ACRES OF LAND COMMONLY KNOWN AS
CRESTLINE DRIVE/DIAMOND CANYON AREA INTO THE CITY.
CDD/Fong stated that before Council is a Resolution of Intention to annex
the Crestline Drive/Diamond Canyon Area into the City. There are
approximately 150 homes, open space, office building and institution use
area on about 106.7 acres. In 2005 the first step toward annexation the area
was included in D.B.'s sphere of influence and this is the next step, which is
MARCH 6, 2007 PAGE 12 CITY COUNCIL
to adopt the Resolution of Intension. The next step is to bring the General
Plan Amendment and pre -zoning to the Council in April or May. Staff
recommended that the City Council open the Public Hearing, receive
testimony, close the public hearing, and Adopt Resolution No. 2007-20.
John Bennett, 20609 Oak Crest Dr. said he understood the importance of the
annexation to the City of D.B. He also understands and appreciates the
ultimate impact that this will have. Further, he understands that there is a
formal notice and comment period that went along with LAFCO proceedings.
He respectfully requested that the City delay its adoption of the resolution
and delay the initiation of formal LAFCO proceedings for the purpose of
extending an expression by the City of its interest in its community much like
that was done when annexation initially occurred in this area. There was
community discussion, a lot of information that was provided to the
homeowners in the area and the affected homeowners will have difficulty
understanding and comprehending the notice and comment period that goes
along with this process. He respectfully requested that the Council extend
the courtesy to the community to inform them of the actual impacts that will
occur when annexation takes place, both the negative and the positive sides.
Robert Lewis, 2231-8 Fullerton Road, commended Council on the speedy
selection process for filling the vacant City Council seat. He said he
understood the pain of the process that occurred through the loss of a sitting
Council Member. He congratulated Ron Everett on his fortitude in stepping
forward to serve the community. The reason annexation has not happened
before was because it was not in D.B.'s interest to annex the area. What
changed to make this action come about? On December 19 the City of D.B.
came to an agreement with Aera Energy LLC on a Development, Planning
and Pre -Annexation Agreement of their property. Also involved was the
Reed property and City of Industry property. In order to access the Aera
Project the City must be geographically adjacent and that is what changed
accepting the small negative impact on the City's budget taking in the
residential properties of Area 1 along with the properties around that area.
He wondered how the City could exchange 150 homes with a negative
budget impact for an agreement that would build 2800 homes west of the
SR57 and another 600 homes south going into Orange County. The final
condition that makes this a gamble is the commitment of 10 years of City
resources to this project because under the LAFCO stipulations the City is
committed to 10 years to make up for the lost revenue to the community
service district of the County. Instead of taking just the homes the City
should take all of the commercial and political power as well.
M/Tye closed the Public Hearing.
C/Herrera asked staff to clarifythe annexation procedures and steps outlined
and the timeframe under which it will occur giving the residents an
opportunity to comment and asked if notices were sent out seeking
comment?
MARCH 6, 2007 PAGE 13 CITY COUNCIL
CM/DeStefano said the real issue involves a portion of the developed
community adjacent to D.B. that was originally intended to be a part of the
community of D.B. This area, like a couple of other areas, is comprised of
citizens who have lived there for several years who believed they lived within
the City of D.B. and were entitled to services from the City. There have been
times when residents have come to City Hall to get building permits because
they thought they were in the City. They are within the D.B. 91765 zip code
area, they have a D.B. address, they are within the Rowland Unified School
District, they receive all of the same services that D.B. residents receive
(Sheriff, Fire, etc.); they are within a different library district, they receive
trash services from different haulers. The speaker was mixing and
incorrectly matching projects, revenue sources and so forth. A reference
was made that the only reason D.B. is looking to annex this area is to make
a direct connection to the Aera Energy property and that such direct
connection is necessary in order to be successful in annexation. That is a
misunderstanding of the City's existing sphere of influence and existing
municipal boundary. D.B.'s existing sphere of influence grows from the
southerly portion of the City all the way to the Orange County line. It is
vacant land so those that drive by it may not necessarily understand that it is
within the City's ultimate sphere of influence and that LAFCO decided
decades ago that that vacant land should be part of the City of D.B. Aera
Energy owns property on the west side of the SR57 and there is a link
between those two pieces of property. LAFCO determined that the small
piece of property referred to in this item should be a part of the City of D.B.
LAFCO's own study that was never adopted by the County of Los Angeles
and was never acted upon by the County of Los Angeles, said that all of that
acreage between D.B. and Brea within Los Angeles County should
eventually become a part of the City of D.B. The comment made about
financial resources necessary to support this type of residential project and
the limited revenues that would be received from it was not correct. He said
he did not understand math that mixed and matched a variety of different
issues. Bottom line is that this is a piece of property that is roughly half
privately owned, gate -guarded private streets and roughly half public streets.
This property has contemporary homes built within the last 10 years or so of
significant value, has a brand new church and has a two-story office building
with a long-term lease with a growing tenant that employs a number of
people and provides resources through taxation. This is not a piece of
property that would in his judgment, generate a negative flow of revenue to
the City and it is not a project that would generate an exceptional amount of
expenditures on behalf of the City in order to support the services the
residents would need and that D.B. would often supply. The connection to
the potential for Aera Energy's Development is an incorrect assumption.
This property is before the Council for consideration of one of the very first
steps the Council must take to annex the land on its single sole and separate
merits. This comes as a result of a few years of talking about it and as a
result of residents seeking annexation into D.B. and it is being represented to
the Council in that single, separate and sole manner. D.B. has no need to
annex this property into the City. Residents are requesting it and from staffs
MARCH 6, 2007 PAGE 14 CITY COUNCIL
perspective and from Council's perspective this would make good sense and
it is good governance to do so. Resources needed to provide services do
not exceed the revenues that would likely come from the taxes as a result of
the present land uses. The vacant open space on this land is protected
open space and is owned by the private homeowner associations and that
scenario presents no growth opportunity. There were two community
meetings conducted in 2006. The annexation process would include a
preliminary fiscal analysis that would likely result in a positive cash flow to the
City of D.B. There are a variety of additional steps indicated by CDD/Fong
that include public hearings for consideration of an amendment to the City's
General Plan and pre -zoning of the property should it become a part of D.B.
Should the Council take action to approve this matter tonight that a LAFCO
filing would take place in June 2007 and that it would be at least a year
before an annexation were to be completed. Additionally, as part of this
process a vote must be taken by the current property owners to determine
whether those property owners wish to become a part of the City of D.B.
C/Herrera recalled a time that the City looked at areas around that area of
Brea Canyon Cutoff and Pathfinder Rd. and the different neighborhoods
were requesting to become a part of D.B. The City conducted an analysis at
that time on the benefits and detriments to the City if it were to annex those
different neighborhoods. For whatever reason the City did not pursue it at
the time but she recalled the neighborhood residents in discussion this
evening wanted to vote in the City Council elections and other elections and
were upset when they discovered they were not within the City limits of D,B.
She saw nothing to be gained by delaying action. The process as described
by staff will be lengthy.
C/Chang recalled that he too thought that residents in that area were entitled
to all of the privileges of residents of the City because they were located in
zip code 91765. Many of the residents are confused and from that time
forward many residents asked to have their community become a part of
D.B. Today he spoke with Mr. DeStefano and found out that their school
district was Rowland Heights. Regardless, he feels the area should be
annexed to D.B. and believed most of the residents wanted it to happen.
MPT/Tanaka attended one of the public meetings and heard it explained to
residents that it would be a long process but ultimately the residents would
be able to make the final decision. He agreed with Mr. Bennett that the City
needed to get the information out to the residents about the pros and cons of
becoming a part of the City of D.B.
C/Everett encouraged Mr. Bennett to help get the message out. The
resolution before the Council is pretty clear and certainly based upon the
history he received tonight requesting LAFCO to initiate proceedings for the
reorganization, it was a good step toward getting started. He encouraged
Mr. Bennett and others to attend the public meetings and become informed.
MARCH 6, 2007 PAGE 15 CITY COUNCIL
M/Tye wanted to be sure that he was correct that it would be a waste of time
for the City to launch an education campaign at this point and by taking this
action it would trigger the process of contact, education and so forth.
CM/DeStefano said that M/Tye was right and that the process has begun
with last year's meetings earlier referenced. D.B. goes out of its way to
inform current and future residents. Should the Council adopt the resolution,
the City would go back into the neighborhood to further discuss the process
of annexation.
C/Herrera moved, C/Chang seconded to adopt Resolution No. 2007-20:
Requesting the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) to initiate
proceedings for the annexation of 106.7 acres of land commonly known as
Crestline Drive/Diamond Canyon Area into the City. Motion carried by the
following Roll Call vote:

MPT/Tanaka, M/Tye
NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None
ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None
8. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION: None
9. COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS/COUNCIL MEMBER COMMENTS:
C/Chang talked about Consent Calendar Item 6.9, the Home Improvement Program
wherein the City sets aside money to help residents repair their properties. This
program was proposed by former Council Member Zirbes and was approved bythe
City Council. During 2006, 26 D.B. homeowners and their homes benefited from
the program. So far this year there are already five homes under rehab, 10
applications are in process and 12 are on the waiting list. Item 6.10 involves paying
$127,000 to Edison so that the large electrical pole in front of Target can be
relocated to improve the entry and look at Target. He was happy to see the
Diamond Crest matter was approved and asked residents to join the Council
Meeting and express their views about annexation.
C/Herrera congratulated newly appointed Council Member Ron Everett and felt his
31 years of experience in and with the City would lend itself to this City Council.
The Neighborhood Improvement Program is important to D.B. and Council Member
Zirbes always offered creative solutions to problems. She hoped the committee
would continue for the benefit of the residents and the community. The City Council
took action tonight on important things. During tonight's Study Session the Council
talked about improvements to the SR57/60. Finally, after four years the HOV lanes
are finished and the carpool lane from SR57 now transitions to the eastbound
SR60. As everyone knows the transition from the Carpool lane to Grand Ave. is not
easy and accidents occur in that location on a daily basis. C/Herrera said she was
very proud of the City's leadership and staff who work toward solutions. Staff and
MARCH 6, 2007 PAGE 16 CITY COUNCIL
City officials are working togetherwith coalitions and others to resolve the local and
regional issues. Staff will look at the Aera proposal very carefully to make certain
that it benefits the City and whatever decision the City Council makes will be
because it benefits the residents. Council Members represent residents and that is
always the basis for the Council's ultimate decisions.
(-/Everett agreed with comments made by his colleagues. He emphasized Consent
Calendar Item 6.12, increase on the graffiti removal. The second day on the job he
noticed graffiti on Grand Ave. and called the graffiti hotline to find that people
manning the phones were very cooperative and interested. They did not take his
name and the situation was immediately dealt with without undue influence. He was
told that the original graffiti removal contractor has been with the City since its
inception and has never raised its' rate in spite of the fact that graffiti is on the
increase. He encouraged everyone to take advantage of the program and help
remove this type of blight from the City. He thanked everyone for bearing with him
tonight. An oath, vows, invocation and pledge of allegiance have all been
represented here tonight as they are in society and all are so important to
democracy. He encouraged everyone to read the front page of the February 23
edition of the Los Angeles Times that honored Ryan Kools whose wife Nancy was
called on December 2, 2005 to meet her husband in Germany. Ryan is one of 100
Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan who have lost two limbs; an additional 440 have
lost one limb and four have lost three limbs. Very important was the attitude with
which this young couple approached this disaster and the support of American
resources to get Ryan to treatment. He and his wife have taken trips around the
country. Ryan has engaged in snow boarding, snow skiing, water skiing, white
water rafting, biking, fishing and canoeing and visits Walter Reed twice a week for
physical therapy. Our individual efforts lend to the collective success and they are
very important. C/Everett said he was grateful to his colleagues for his appointment
to the City Council. His ABC's for the season are All interests - all of you. He is
here to represent each resident; Balance is vital and not easy; Balance in resident's
quality of life; and, Cooperation. Chief Nieto was very upfront about the team
concept. And the D.B. staff is one of the reasons he wants to serve because D.B.
has an outstanding staff and they've been here for a long time and know what's
going on and what's under the rocks. Staff members are very forthright and
professional in preparation of documentation and studies and very forthright in
expressing their perceptions, comments and recommendations. And then it is up to
Council to make the final decisions. That teamwork and team spirit is so vital. He
said he was committed to Cooperation. He invited residents to talk with him. He
said the City can do a better job in getting the message out. The United States is
blessed and we are fortunate to be here and he is thankful to be serving on the
Council.
NIPT/Tanaka congratulated Ron Everett on his appointment to the City Council. On
February 22 he attended the Regional Chamber Mix hosted by AAA; the Caltrans
HOV Grand Opening; February 24 he attended the D.B.-Chinese American Chinese
New Year Celebration at D.B.H.S.; that afternoon he attended the Tsu-Chi
Foundation Celebration; on Sunday he attended the Vietnamese New Year
celebration with M/Tye; on Sunday, February 25 he attended Rishi Patel's Eagle
MARCH 6, 2007 PAGE 17 CITY COUNCIL
Scout Court of Honor on the occasion of his attaining the Eagle Scout rank; on
Tuesday morning he attended the Diamond Bar Community meeting with the LA
County Fair with the Diamond Bar Day at the Fair scheduled for Thursday,
September 13; the D.B 4 -Youth Committee met to finalize their plans for a Battle of
the Bands contest at the middle school dance; on Tuesday, February 27 he
attended the Pomona School Board Meeting during which the PUSD administrators
were honored. MPT/Tanaka attended the League of California Cities LA County
Division meeting and networked with other cities; on Saturday morning he attended
the D.B. Little League Pancake Breakfast and opening day ceremonies; on March 5
he attended the water signing ceremony between Walnut, Pomona and Rowland
Water Districts celebrating 50 years of working together to bring water to the area;
this afternoon he attended the Chamber's ribbon -cutting ceremony for Maxway
International.
M/Tye said it was always gratifying to accomplish things and many things were
accomplished this evening. The most important thing for residents to know is that
the Council is here to listen. Mr. Derefield made a special trip to City Hall to thank
the City for removing the traffic circles. He thanked PWD/Liu for his follow through.
He hoped there would be a seamless transition with Bus line 684 with Foothill taking
it over from MTA and he again mentioned how important it was that a citizen came
forward to let the Council know about that issue. Mr. Coursen came forward to say
the process works. Mr. Coursen complimented staff and praised working with the
Developer. So people know they will be heard when they come to Council
meetings. He congratulated owners of Maxway International and thanked them for
choosing D.B. He wished them every success possible. He congratulated Little
League on the start of their 41St year. The excitement of the kids makes everything
worthwhile. He welcomed Ron Everett to the Council. This Council works very well
together and it is very encouraging that in a very, very difficult time as a body the
Council was able to come together and unanimously choose Ron Everett to be
appointed to the City Council. The Council looks forward to working with C/Everett
and is grateful for his willingness to serve. C/Everett will add a lot to this body.
ADJOURNMENT: With no further business to conduct, M/Tye adjourned the regular City
Council imeeting at 9:00 p.m.

be closed for any other business. I do the very best I know how, the very best I can
and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what is
said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, 10
angels swearing I was right would make no difference." He felt it was important that
he was looking out for the best interests of D.B. and he would continue to do the
very best he knew how to do as he believed everyone sitting at the dais would do.
M/Tye said that a couple of weeks ago he was at Diamond Ranch High School to
meet with a committee considering the California Distinguished School Award, the
school's re -certification. He said he was very impressed by what he saw. He
thanked C/Chang and C/Herrera for mentioning the National League of Cities, an
organization he felt was very important. It is heartwarming to be able to take a
contingency to visit Congressman Miller and others in Washington D.C. to make
sure he understands how important the City Council believes it is as a community
for him to do everything possible to get funding for a final fix for the SR57/60 and
other projects. The City appreciates Congressman Miller's efforts on behalf of D.B.
He hoped that everyone would join the Council for the State of the City event on
Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in the Diamond Bar Center. He congratulated Irene Wang
who became a grandmother for the first time on March 17. He hoped residents
would join him at Starbucks at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 24. He paid tribute to
Frank Piermarini who was only 57 when he passed away. Life is short and it is
important to count your blessings on a daily basis.
ADJOURNMENT: With no further business to conduct, M/Tye adjourned the Regular City
Council meeting at 7:30 p.m. in memory of Frank Piermarini. .

3. PUBLIC COMMENTS:
An unidentified speaker spoke about the lack of cell service in the City.
4. RESPONSE TO PUBLIC COMMENTS: CM/DeStefano responded to the
speaker that D.B. offers unique topographical features that render cell service less
than adequate. The City is in the process of incorporating additional cell sites (at
Peterson Park and the Diamond Bar Center) to the approximately 35 existing cell
sites within the City. Dark spots will most likely continue to be a problem in the City
until technology prices reach a point of providing affordable sites.

8. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION: None
9. COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS/COUNCIL MEMBER COMMENTS:
C:/Everett announced that the City will miss Frank Piermarini, a very prominent and
successful developer in the community who recently suffered a fatal heart attack.
C:/Everett and his wife Kay extend their deepest sympathies to his family. One of
Mr. Piermarini's proudest accomplishments and lasting legacies was the building of
St. Denis Church. He hoped that residents were able to take advantage of the
power mower exchange program presented by the South Coast Air Quality
Management District. He announced that there would be an a -waste collection on
Saturday, March 24, from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in Annex K at CalPoly Pomona.
For further information call 909-869-4697. He encouraged everyone to attend the
State of the City event. He talked about his attendance at the National League of
Cities Conference in Washington D.C. last week and offered to share his resource
material with anyone interested.
C/Chang was glad that D.B. was a member of the National League of Cities. He
used to attend and enjoy the meetings and the exchange of information. During the
past couple of weeks residents received flyers about the proposed Aera Project.
This Council is studying the matter and has not made any decisions regarding
whether or not the City is interested in the Project. No taxpayer dollars are being
spent on studying this proposed project. He felt the flyer was somewhat misleading.
He was pleased that M/Tye sent out a letter explaining the situation. He
encouraged everyone to attend the State of the City event. He asked M/Tye to
adjourn tonight's meeting in memory of Frank Piermarini. He offered condolences
to Mr. Piermarini's family.
C/Herrera attended the National League of Cities Conference in Washington D.B. to
lobby legislators and members of transportation committees for monies for
California since California has so many transportation problems from vehicular
traffic, truck traffic from the ports, trains, and so forth. California needs Federal
dollars to help resolve these problems and Congressional members she visited
were very receptive and open to helping members of her delegation. She visited
Congresswoman Grace Napoletano to talk about Foothill Transit and spoke with
Congressman Gary Miller who was hospitable and very responsive to D.B.'s long list
of requests for funding. She thanked her colleagues for taking time to attend and
said that she appreciated the opportunity to get to know her colleagues better during
the conference.
MIPT/Tanaka stated that the D.B.H.S. Principal challenged the Leo Club to do a
"Leo Square" campus beautification project. He congratulated Scout Troop 737
leaders, the faculty advisor and his wife Wanda for helping out with the project. On
Sunday he had his car washed by the Miss Diamond Bar Pageant who was holding
a fundraiser. The Miss Diamond Bar Beauty Pageant will be held April 1 at
D.B.H.S. On Tuesday he enjoyed a St. Patrick's Day lunch with the D.B. Seniors.
On Tuesday he also attended a swim meet at Walnut High School and on Saturday
MARCH 20, 2007 PAGE 5 CITY COUNCIL
the D.B.H.S. Swim Team held their first Home Swim Meet at Walnut High School.
On Tuesday he attended the WUSD Board meeting and heard about plans to
upgrade the middle school campuses. He attended the Regional Chamber of
Commerce of San Gabriel Valley mixer at the Diamond Bar Hills Club and toured
the facility. On Friday he attended the Grand Re -Opening of the Basically Books
used bookstore and that afternoon he attended the University of Phoenix Open
House. On Saturday he attended Guk An Lew's 100th Birthday party. On Sunday
he attended the St. Joseph's Table at St. Denis Church and enjoyed an excellent
pasta lunch. That afternoon he attended the Inland Empire Bridal Gala at the D.B.
Golf Course. Last night he attended the Pomona City Council meeting. He
congratulated paramedic Alfonso Cid who has been at Station 120 in D.B. for the
past seventeen years and who recently celebrated 30 years with the LACFD.
Station 120 will hold an open house next week.
M/Tye spoke about the flyers being distributed by "The Hills for Everyone." Council
and staff received a flurry of emails and telephone calls, of which he returned. The
misstatements and half-truths contained in the flyer need clarification. "During
Christmas week Diamond Bar City Council cut a deal." It wasn't Christmas week.
Actually, it was before Christmas. However, the date is irrelevant. This Council
rneets on the first and third Tuesday of every month unless the meeting falls on a
Holiday or is cancelled well in advance of the duly noticed date. So that everyone is
clear, no deal was cut nor was any project approved. What the Council agreed to
do was to receive a report, a report that is not yet ready. When the Council receives
the report the public will be notified. The flyer references "it's not too late but they're
counting on your silence." M/Tye says that he is absolutely counting on the public's
informed understanding and he believed that Hills for Everyone cared only that
residents see things from their perspective. The flyer also references "sneaky deals
by your City." This statement refers to the City Council. There were no sneaky
deals. Statements in the flyer are inflammatory comments designed to insight
people to become excited and there is no reason to sew that type of dissention in
this community. He and his colleagues have stated publicly and repeatedly that
they are here for the residents. The flyer talks about "sneaky deals by the City" yet
he has a letter written by then City Manager Linda Lowry dated June 30, 2006 that
states: "As we look at budgets we undertake different actions, we have City Council
Goals and Objectives" and there under "Other Issues" it states: "Expand the Sphere
of Influence, create a pre -annexation agreement for the Shell Oil property." That is
available for anyone who would take the time to read it. There is nothing secret
about a City Council Goal and Objective that was decided over eight months ago.
Another of the City Council Goals and Objectives is to "monitor and evaluate
proposals for development and the Shell Oil property." And as C/Chang said and
he would be that all of his colleagues would agree, it is the Council's responsibility to
consider what is good for the City of D.B. It does not mean that any action will be
taken. This is a private landowner that is entitled to the due process that any other
private landowner is entitled to and he hoped that everyone would keep that in
mind, especially when unsolicited and misleading mailings are received. He said he
appreciated the passion that "Hills for Everyone" exhibits but believed it could be
clone honestly and forthrightly. He shared a quote by Abraham Lincoln: "If I were to
try to read, much less answer, all of the attacks made on me the shop might as well

Diamond Bar, CA 91765
FEBRUARY 22, 2007
CALL 1'0 ORDER:
Chairman Grundy called the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting to order at 7:05
p.m. in the SCAQMD/Hearing Board Room, 21865 Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, CA 91765.
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: Vice Chairman Owens led the Pledge of Allegiance.
ROLL CALL:
Present: Commissioners Lew Herndon, Ruth Low, Vice Chairman Ted Owens and
Chairman Dave Grundy.
Absent: Commissioner Benny Liang was excused.
Staff Present: Bob Rose, Director of Community Services; Anthony Jordan, Parks and
Maintenance Superintendent; Sara Somogyi, Recreation Services Manager and Marisa
SomenZi, Senior Administrative Assistant.
MATTERS FROM THE AUDIENCE: None Offered.
CALENDAR OF EVENTS: As Listed in the Agenda and reported by CSD/Rose.
1. CONSENT CALENDAR
1.1 Approval of Minutes for the January 25, 2007 Regular Meeting.
C/Herndon moved, VC/Owens seconded to approve the Consent Calendar
as corrected. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote:
AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Herndon, Low, VC/Owens,
Chair/Grundy
NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None
ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: Liang
2. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
2.1 Recreation Program Report — RSM/Somogyi
2.2 Parks Report — PMS/Jordan.
PMS/Jordan presented staff's report and specifically reported that on
February 14 three men in a black truck drove onto the park surface at
FEBRUARY 22, 2007 PAGE 2 P&R COMMISSION
Heritage Park and attempted to make a big donut in the field near the
softball field. The landscape workers witnessed the incident and jumped into
their truck and followed the truck catching up with them at DBHS where they
were able to get the license plate number. The Sheriff office conducted an
investigation and discovered that the tag on the truck was stolen and the
registration did not match anyone attending D.B.H.S. As a result, the vehicle
was impounded and as of last Friday no one has stepped forward to claim
the vehicle.
Chair/Grundy felt that the TruGreen employees should be commended for
their efforts.
C/Herndon wanted to know if the problem of individuals driving their vehicles
onto park surfaces was an ongoing problem and what might be done to block
them from gaining access. PMS/Jordan said that staff discussed the
possibility of installing a fence. However, in order to fully preclude individuals
from driving onto the park it could potentially cause a traffic flow issue. The
problem is random and staff is considering measures to prevent that
occurrence. CSD/Rose said there was a plan to keep vehicles out of all City
parks that involves planting more trees, constructing fences, installing
bollards and the Commission earlier recommended installation of a split rail
fence at Pantera Park. These proposals were not previously accepted for
inclusion in the budget. As frustrating as these incidents are the damage is
corrected by expending a few hundred dollars whereas installation of fences,
etc. are large ticket items. During discussions later this evening some of
these items can be discussed as part of the budget process.
C/Low asked if traffic citations were issued for driving on City park property.
CSD/Rose responded that park rules are posted that say "No Vehicles
Allowed other than in Designated Parking Lots" and violators are cited for an
infraction. CSD/Rose said he would have to check to see if the sign
indicated the type of violation and citation. The fine is $100 for the first
infraction, $200 for the second and $500 the third time if it occurs within a
12 -month period.
C/Low commented that it might ultimately be less expensive to fix the grass
but if a person were injured there would be no cost comparison to
implementing preventative mitigation measures.
C/Herndon asked if the City would have any claim against the impounded
vehicle. He suggested it might be purchased for the impound amount and
sold to pay for the repairs. CSD/Rose said staff expects the owners to
surface.
PMS/Jordan responded to Chair/Grundy that his understanding was that the
vehicle was a late model Chevrolet Tahoe or Suburban.
FEBRUARY 22, 2007 PAGE 3 P&R COMMISSION
2.3 Community Foundation
CSD/Rose reported that the Foundation has received in excess of $1,000 in
contributions toward the "Bob Zirbes Sports Park Fund" and donations
continue. CSD/Rose said he spoke with the Foundation about possibly
sponsoring a DB4 Youth "Battle of the Bands" immediately following the
Concerts in the Park series.
Chair/Grundy wanted to know if the City Council and others were interested
in doing some kind of permanent memorial commemorating Bob Zirbes and
CSD/Rose said there was public support for such a memorial but he had not
seen anything on the Council agenda yet.
C/Herndon asked if there was something the Commissioners could do to
support the effort and CSD/Rose responded that they could issue a
proclamation or resolution of support.
2.4 Trails Master Plan
CSD/Rose met with Jeff Scott, David Evans & Associates about doing
graphics for the plan. Mr. Scott has an associate that has experience in
making recommendations for trail improvements. CSD/Rose said he
expected to have an update for the Commission at its next meeting.
C/Low said she read an interesting article in the Orange County Registerthis
weekend that indicated that based upon research, seniors tend to walk more
when there is a destination such as a restaurant, shop, bank or some kind of
business and the fact that there are trails is essentially irrelevant to the
amount that seniors actually walk.
2.5 C.I.P. Program Report — CSD/Rose
a. Sycamore Canyon Park ADA Retrofit — Phase III — scheduled for
completion June 2007 prior to commencement of "Concerts in the
Park" series. CSD/Rose updated the Commission on the progress of
the project.
b. Batting Cages at Peterson and Pantera Parks
CSD/Rose reported that at its February 6 meeting, the City Council
approved installation of batting cages at both Peterson and Pantera
Parks as a single project. Plans and specifications are being

C. Slope Repair at Diamond Bar Center — Completed.
FEBRUARY 22, 2007 PAGE 4 P&R COMMISSION
J. ULU BUSINESS: None
4. NEW BUSINESS:
4.1 Commission Prioritization of Park Improvements for 2007/08 FY
C/Herndon felt that Starshine Park was a rather unfriendly park because it
was a big open grassy area and the park lacked a feeling of intimacy. He
suggested that shade trees could be added and the shade structure could be
eliminated. C/Low agreed and recommended adding park benches under
the trees to create a more family -like park atmosphere. Chair/Grundy said
he too liked the idea of trees to breakup the "parking lot" feeling. Once the
trees matured they would provide shade. He recommended waiting on the
shade structure. C/Herndon said he would prefer having a lot of shade trees
rather than a shade structure. C/Low felt there should be sufficient in -lieu
dollars from projects to pay for trees.
C/Low wondered if the "Art in the City" program funds could be used to
provide attractive play equipment.
Chair/Grundy felt the City would get a good return on resurfacing the
basketball courts. He would definitely like to see play equipment at Paul C.
Grow.
Following Commission discussion, C/Low moved, C/Herndon seconded to
recommend inclusion of all of the items in the 2007/08 FY Budget without
regard to prioritization. Without objection, the motion was so ordered.
5. ANNOUNCEMENTS:
C/Herndon attended the Bob Zirbes memorial and felt it was well done. He said he
supported moving forward with a Sports Park in Bob's name. He recommended
that the $4 million allocated for construction of a new library be set aside for a Bob
Zirbes Sports Park.
VC/Owens stated he planned to attend the Little League Opening Day ceremonies
on Saturday.
Chair/Grundy wished Ryan Wright good luck in his new position with the City of
Orange. Next month the Commission will reorganize. The service for Bob Zirbes
last week was very well done and very poignant. Bob was a great friend, someone
who was upbeat and enthusiastic and very involved in civic affairs. Bob touched
many people and it would be very appropriate for the City to memorialize him in
some permanent way.
FEBRUARY 22, 2007 PAGE 5 P&R COMMISSION
ADJOURNMENT: On motion by C/Herndon, seconded by VC/Owens and with no further
business before the Parks & Recreation Commission, Chair/Grundy adjourned the meeting
at 8:02 p.m. in honor of Bob Zirbes.
Respectfully Submitted,
Bob Rose, Secretary

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
The Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
City of Diamond Bar
Diamond Bar, California
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund and the
aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Diamond Bar, as of and for the year ended
June 30, 2006, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements, and have issued our
report thereon dated October 19, 2006. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits
contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City of Diamond Bar's internal control over
financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our
opinions on the basic financial statements and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over
financial reporting. Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not
necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control that might be material weaknesses. A material
weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal
control components does not reduce to a relatively low risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud
in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and
not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation
that we consider to be material weaknesses.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City of Diamond Bar's financial
statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have
a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing
an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we
do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or
other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
We noted certain other matters that we reported to management of the City in a separate letter dated
October 19, 2006.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council, management and federal
awarding agencies and pass-through entities and is not intended to be and should not be used by

Compliance
We have audited the compliance of City of Diamond Bar with the types of compliance requirements
described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 Compliance
Supplement that are applicable to its major federal program for the year ended June 30, 2006. The
City of Diamond Bar's major federal program is identified in the summary of auditors' results section
of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the requirements of
laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to its major federal program is the responsibility of
the City of Diamond Bar's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the City of
Diamond ]Bar's compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133,
Audits of States Local Governments, and Non -Profit OrLyanizationS. Those standards and
OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a
direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence about the City of Diamond Bar's compliance with those requirements and performing
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on the
City of Diamond Bar's compliance with those requirements.
In our opinion, the City of Diamond Bar complied, in all material respects, with the requirements
referred to above that are applicable to its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2006.

Internal Control Over Compliance
The management of the City of Diamond Bar is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective
internal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants
applicable to federal programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City of

compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133.
Our consideration of the internal control over compliance would not necessarily disclose all matters in
the interna], control that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a reportable condition
in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a
relatively low level the risk that noncompliance with applicable requirements of laws, regulations,
contracts and grants caused by error or fraud that would be material in relation to a major federal
program being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the
normal course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no matters involving the internal
1 control over compliance and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses

AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Member f e City Council
VIA: James DeStefano, City ManalQe
TITLE: APPROVAL OF LEGISLATIVE SUBCOMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION TO OPPOSE
SB 303 (DUCHENY) AND TO SUPPORT SB 286 (DUTTON) AND AB 304 (HUFF)
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with approving the recommendations of the Legislative
subcommittee.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION:
The Legislative Subcommittee meets with staff on a regular basis to discuss and analyze proposed
legislation and its effects on the City. After reviewing the following bills, the subcommittee has
recommended the following action be taken:
• SB 303 (Ducheny) — Doubles the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) planning
period from 5 to 10 years while requiring local agencies to pre -zone their housing need for the
entire 10 year period. Could generate significant sprawl in some areas, and requires General
Plans to be updated every 10 years without providing a funding mechanism to do so.
Recommended Action: Oppose
The attached resolution and letter of opposition will be sent to Senator Ducheny, Joe A.
Gonsalves & Son, and the League of California Cities.
• SB 286 (Dutton) — If passed, the bill would expedite distribution of Proposition B funds to local
agencies for street and road improvement projects. It would ensure that each agency
receives half of its allocation within the next two years.
Recommended Action: Support
The attached resolution and letter of support will be sent to Senator Dutton, Joe A. Gonsalves
& Son, and the League of California Cities.
• AB 304 (Huff) — Ensures community care facilities such as rehab centers and convalescent
homes file their mass casualty plans with appropriate local agencies for better emergency
response.
Recommended Action: Support
The attached resolution and letter of support will be sent to Assemblyman Huff, Joe A.
Gonsalves & Son, and the League of California Cities.

RESOLUTION NO. 2007-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
OPPOSING SB 303 (DUCHENY), WHICH WOULD DOUBLE THE REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS
ASSESSMENT (RHNA) PLANNING PERIOD FROM 5 TO 10 YEARS WHILE REQUIRING LOCAL
AGENCIES TO PRE -ZONE THEIR HOUSING NEED FOR THE ENTIRE 10 YEAR PERIOD.
WHEREAS, SB 303 would require a 10 year land supply to be zoned for housing with all residential
sites made available and zoned immediately at the time the housing element is adopted; and
WHEREAS, The requirement to pre -zone land for a 10 year supply creates a nearly impossible
threshold for urban and built -out communities because they cannot know what parcels will become
available over the 10 year period and this bill eliminates the current ability to develop a program that
can take advantage of these opportunities as they become available; and
WHEREAS, SB 303 requires local agencies to analyze each site in its housing inventory to ensure
that the size, configuration, current use, physical and environmental constraints, access, location, and
adjacent use will realistically accommodate the proposed density on the parcel; and
WHEREAS, SB 303 requires all general plans to be updated every 10 years, but provides no funding
to pay for it; and
WHEREAS, SB 303 creates a one dimensional planning model that ignores other critical elements
needed to support new development, such as water, roadways, sewer, schools and other public
services and facilities; and
WHEREAS, SB 303 would undermine regional efforts to steer housing development to infill areas,
promote transit oriented development, and address climate change and fails to consider costs to farm
land, open space, air quality, carbon emissions, traffic congestion, and other issues which affect our
quality of life.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar OPPOSES
SB 303 (Ducheny).
SECTION 1. That the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar shall adopt the Resolution and the City
Clerk shall certify to the adoption.

RE: CITY OF DIAMOND BAR OPPOSITION TO SB 303
Dear Senator Ducheny
Recently, the Diamond Bar City Council Legislative Subcommittee met to review your proposed bill,
SB 303. The subcommittee recommended to the full City Council that they oppose SB 303.
Subsequently, on April 3, 2007, the Diamond Bar City Council voted to oppose the bill.
SB 303 doubles the planning period (from 5 to 10 years) for the regional housing needs allocation
(RHNA). At the same time, it requires local agencies to pre -zone their housing need for the entire 10
year period. Moreover, it would require that every single site be analyzed to ensure that the size,
configuration, use, physical and environmental characteristics, adjacent uses, market demand, and
infrastructure will "realistically accommodate" the planned density of the parcel.
As a result, each site will have to be visited and surveyed for all of these characteristics. It will be a
massive and costly undertaking that results in a lowest -common -denominator focus on housing.
Private developers often maintain that in contrast to traditional subdivisions, infill development "does
not pencil out." The effect of this bill will be to undercut local and regional efforts to steer housing
development to infill areas.
We believe this proposal will trigger significant sprawl in many areas, because—unlike the existing
housing element process—no time is provided to phase-in the availability of housing sites.
Furthermore, no time is provided to address issues related to infill development, to work with LAFCOs
on annexation and sphere of influence requirements, infrastructure ability, and other service issues
closely related to that development.
While this bill may be well -intended, it applies a flawed approach that fails to appreciate the spectrum
of issues that affect land availability. Local governments do not need more state mandates; they need
more funding tools to assist with the development of infrastructure in infill areas and the production of
affordable unfits.
For these reasons, the City of Diamond Bar is opposed to SB 303.

Steve Tye

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
SUPPORTING SB 286 (DUTTON) WHICH WOULD ACCELERATE THE DISTRIBUTION OF
PROPOSITION 1B FUNDS FOR LOCAL STREET AND ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
WHEREAS, the voters of California approved Proposition 1 B in 2006, which allocates $2 billion in
funding for local street and road improvements; and
WHEREAS, these funds are sorely needed to improve California's aging infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, these funds will assist in implementing congestion relief, traffic safety, capital, transit,
and other important local transportation projects; and
WHEREAS, SB 286 ensures local agencies will receive at least half of their respective Proposition 1 B
allocation within two years; and
WHEREAS, the expedited delivery of Proposition 1 B allocations to local agencies will ensure traffic
relief and infrastructure improvement projects are implemented rapidly

RE: CITY OF DIAMOND BAR SUPPORT FOR SB 286
Dear Senator Dutton:
Recently, the Diamond Bar City Council Legislative Subcommittee met to review your proposed bill,
SB 286. The subcommittee recommended to the full City Council that they support SB 286.
Subsequently, on April 3, 2007, the Diamond Bar City Council voted to support the bill.
The City of Diamond Bar) strongly supports SB 286, which defines an allocation schedule for the $2
billion included in Proposition 1 B as a direct allocation to cities and counties. We sincerely appreciate
your recognition of the importance of funding local transportation projects and ensuring this funding
was part of the Infrastructure Bond package.
Specifically, SB 286 guarantees that every city will receive at least half of their Prop 1 B funds to
spend in the next two fiscal years; the 2007-08 Proposition 42 "gap" year and 2008-09. This is
extremely important because without significant funding in the 2007-08 Prop 42 "gap" year, cities and
counties will not receive any monies for local streets and roads.
SB 286 also provides that a city may receive up to the entire amount of its share of Prop 1 B funds in
the next two fiscal years if the ability to spend the funds is demonstrated. In addition, every city is
guaranteed at least $400,000 in the first two years of the program.
SB 286 allocates any remaining funds (funds not spent in 2007-08 and 2008-09) to cities no later than
January 1, 2010 for fiscal years 2009-10 and 2010-11.
Currently, it is estimated that the City of Diamond Bar would receive approximately $1.89 million in
direct funding from Prop 1 B for local transportation purposes. We are then able to put this money to
use for congestion relief, traffic safety, capital, transit, and other important transportation related
projects.
Again, we support SB 286 and the much-needed investment it brings to our city for our local
transportation needs.

Steve Tye

SUPPORTING AB 304 (HUFF) WHICH WOULD REQUIRE ALL STATE LICENSED COMMUNITY
CARE FACILITIES TO FILE THEIR MASS CASUALTY PLANS WITH LOCAL AGENCIES
WHEREAS, California's cities and counties host a variety of community care facilities such as
rehabilitation and adult day care facilities; and
WHEREAS, the state of California has a history of significant natural disasters such as earthquakes
and wildfires
WHEREAS, community care facilities are not currently required to submit mass casualty plans to
local emergency services agencies; and

mass casualty plan to local emergency services agencies, such as law enforcement and fire; and
WHEREAS, the submittal of a mass casualty plan to emergency services agencies will enhance the
response to community care facilities and their residents in the event of a disaster;

RE: CITY OF DIAMOND BAR SUPPORT FOR AB 304
Dear Assemblyman Huff
Recently, the Diamond Bar City Council Legislative Subcommittee met to review your proposed bill,
AB 304. The subcommittee recommended to the full City Council that they support AB 304.
Subsequently, on April 3, 2007, the Diamond Bar City Council voted to support the bill.
Most communities in California are home to community care facilities such as rehabilitation and adult
day care centers. AB 304 will provide local agencies, including public safety and fire departments,
with a much needed tool to assist those individuals in such facilities. By requiring any community
care facility applying for a state license to provide local agencies with a detailed mass casualty plan,
emergency service providers are better prepared to respond a disaster of any kind.
In the wake of the devastation created by Hurricane Katrina, the importance of planning is essential to
limiting casualties in the event of a disaster. AB 304 will allow Californians to better prepare for the
response earthquakes or wildfires that are a fact of life in our state by helping to secure the safety
and security of those in community care facilities.
For these reasons, the City of Diamond Bar supports AB 304.

TITLE: APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO'. 2007 -XX APPROVING AND ADOPTING THE
THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS AGREEMENT
OF THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS WHICH IDENTIFIES
THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES AS A VOTING MEMBER
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact on the City of Diamond Bar.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION:
In January 2007, the County of Los Angeles agreed to join the San Gabriel Valley Council of
Governments (SGVCOG). Following their meeting County and SGVCOG staff have reviewed and
amended the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement and Bylaws to make the changes needed to
enable the County to become a member. These changes were approved by the SGVCOG Governing
Board at the February 15 meeting, and are known as the "Third Amended and Restated Joint
Exercise of Powers Agreement. The amended agreement must now be approved and executed by
sixteen of the SGVCOG's member cities before the County is accepted as a full-fledged member.
This revised agreement includes the following significant changes:
• The County of Los Angeles will join as a single entity, but will have up to three representatives
(from the First, Fourth, and/or Fifth Supervisory Districts), each with individual votes.
• The dues paid to the SGVCOG by the County of Los Angeles will be in proportion to the
number of residents in unincorporated communities that actively participate in the organization.
• The Governing Board representatives and alternates will be selected by the respective County
Supervisors.
• The County of Los Angeles may choose to partially withdraw from the SGVCOG in the future
should it wish to do so. Dues and voting rights will be adjusted to reflect the fewer Supervisory
Districts participating in the organization at that time.
By participating as a member of the SGVCOG, the County of Los Angeles is better equipped to serve
and represent those living in unincorporated areas of the county. In addition, the County's
participation may lead to a stronger regional position in the SGVCOG's quest for resources to fund
major transportation, public safety, and other projects in the San Gabriel Valley.

TITLE: APPROVE A CONTRACT AME DMENT WITH ADVANTEC CONSULTING
ENGINEERS FOR THE DESI N OF A NEW TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT
GOLDEN SPRINGS DRIVE/RACQUET CLUB AND DESIGN OF TRAFFIC
SIGNAL MODIFICATIONS AT GOLDEN SPRINGS/BREA CANYON ROAD
AND AT GOLDEN SPRINGS DRIVE/DIAMOND BAR BLVD IN THE
AMOUNT OF $29,500 PLUS A CONTINGENCY AMOUNT OF $3,000 FOR
CHANGE ORDERS TO BE APPROVED BY THE CITY MANAGER, FOR A
TOTAL AUTHORIZATION AMOUNT OF $32,500.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
For Fiscal Year 2006-2007, the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget included an
appropriation of Proposition C Funds in the amount of $405,000 for design and construction
of a new traffic signal at Golden Springs/Racquet Club and modifications to the traffic
signals at Golden Springs Drive/Diamond Bar Blvd and Golden Springs Drive/Brea Canyon
Road.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The results of a 2005 traffic signal warrant study indicated that the intersection of Golden
Springs and Racquet Club met three (3) vehicular volume warrants. The warrants suggest
that vehicles on Racquet Club experience greater delays than what is acceptable for a
minor intersecting street. Installation of this signal will improve turning movements into
and out of Racquet Club without impacting traffic flow on Golden Springs Drive due to
signal synchronization.
The intersection of Golden Springs Drive and Diamond Bar Boulevard currently
experiences heavy left turn movement volumes from Golden Springs Drive to Diamond
Bar Boulevard. The consultant will be responsible for evaluating alternatives to improve
the operations and efficiency of this intersection while designing a modification to allow
for protected left turn phasing only from Golden Springs Drive to Diamond Bar
Boulevard.
Similarly, the intersection of Golden Springs Drive and Brea Canyon Road experiences
heavy left turn movements from westbound Golden Springs Drive to southbound Brea
Canyon Road and from northbound Brea Canyon Road to westbound Golden Springs
Drive. The consultant will evaluate the feasibility of implementing additional left turn
lanes on two legs of this intersection to improve operations.
A Request for Proposals was issued on March 12, 2007. Proposals were received from
three (3) traffic engineering consultants as indicated below:
Advantec Consulting Engineers
$29,500
Katz, Okitsu & Associates
$47,100
Warren Siecke & Associates
$23,500
Advantec was selected as the preferred consultant due to their experience in serving as
one of the City's traffic engineering consultants since 2002 and commitment to deliver
the project in the most timely manner of the three consultants. Advantec's proposal
demonstrated a clear understanding of the project objectives and field constraints. The
scope of services includes the preparation of design plans, specifications, and
estimates for the subject traffic signals. The tentative project schedule is as follows:

THE FEE INCREASE FOR EQUIPMENT RENTAL AND INTERNET USE AT THE
DIAMOND BAR CENTER
RECOMMENDATION: Approve.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The recommended fee increases will recover the costs borne b the
to provide the equipment and services. y City
BACKGROUND: When the Diamond Bar Center policies were last up -dated in December 200
the only fees not adjusted were the Equipment Rental fees. Following are the increased fees 6
recommended by staff. Also, based on input from Ken Desforges, Director of Information Services
and Dave Doyle, Assistant City Manager, staff recommends adding a fee for internet use. Staff
recommends that the internet fee be incorporated in the Business Meeting Package (option A) which
includes use of an internet connection. Staff, with the assistance of Mr. Desforges, completed two
different surveys to see how other cities charge for internet use. Diamond Bar is one of he few c
that has wired internet service available at its community center. sties
Out of the six local cities operating community centers (Moreno Valley, Yorba Linda, Rancho
Cucamonga, Brea, Chino Hills, & Garden Grove) that staff surveyed, only one (Rancho Cucamonga)
was able to provide internet service at all. Their facility is set up with WI -FI, and internet usage is
free. g
Also attached are the results of a survey of 11 other cities that provide internet service at their
facilities. Nine out of the 11 cities provide internet service at their facilities at no charge, and two
of
the cities charge for usage (Petaluma, which doesn't have a set fee; and Visalia, which charges 6
per day or $7.95 per two-hour connection). g $65
Based on input from Mr. Desforges and Mr. Doyle and the survey results, the rate for use of internet
at the Diamond Bar Center is recommended by staff at $75 per day. Staff believes this rate will
recover the cost typically borne by the city when services related to internet use are provided by the
city's Information Services Department staff.
Proposed new rates for the equipment rentals. The new rates include the option for the
Below is the current fee schedule for equipment use at the Diamond Bar Center, as well as the meeting package that provides internet service, option A. business
The Parks and Recreation Commission took action on this issue at their March 22, 2007 regular
meeting and voted unanimously to recommend approval to the City Council.
Staff and the Parks and Recreation Commission recommend that the City Council approve the fee
increases.
