AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Membersf the City Council
VIA: James DeStefano, City Man gev
TITLE: Proposed Business License Ordi ance and Fees for Discussion
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive a presentation from staff, provide comments and direct staff as appropriate.
BACKGROUN'D:
On June 19, 2007, the City Council held a study session on the proposal to enact an "in
house" business license program. The City Council agreed with staff's assessment that the
Los Angeles County business license program is complex and costly, with duplication of
public hearings. The Council agreed that a City run business license program would be more
convenient, less costly and provide efficient service to our business community. The Council
directed staff to prepare a draft business license ordinance and the appropriate full -cost
recovery fees for Council review at a study session. Attached for Council reference is a copy
of the June 19, 2007 Study Session report and minutes.
DRAFT BUSINESS LICENSE ORDINANCE:
Currently, the City has contracted with Los Angeles County to administer the business
license program and adopted the County business license ordinance as part of the City's
Municipal Code (Title 5). In May 2005, City Council amended Title 5 Business License to
include a business registration section; the program was launched in July 2005 and
implemented for two years. The new business license will be based on the existing business
registration program; however, pertinent processing procedures and regulations for specific
businesses will be added, tailored to the City's requirements and circumstances. Simply put,
the existing Title 5 Business License will be repealed and a new one will be adopted.
A. Who needs a Business License?
Similar to business registration, every business with a physical location in the City and
any business that does business in the city is required to obtain a business license.
• Home business: When the homeowner has an active permit or license (e.g.
seller permit) issued by a governmental agency to his or her home address, then
the homeowner is operating a business. Therefore, a business license and a
home base business permit are required. A person taking work home does not
constitute a business.
• Professionals such as real estate or insurance brokers and agents, or
stockbrokers and agents, etc. If the agent or broker that does business in the
City is affiliated with a company or corporation which has a business location
inside or outside the City, the agent/broker will not need to obtain an individual
business license, as long as the company obtains a license. If the agent or
broker is independent and not affiliated with a company that possesses a
business license, the agent or broker must obtain a business license.
• Persons who work in beauty parlors, salons and similar businesses, whether they
are considered employees or independent contractors (i.e. they rent a station in
the premises) need not obtain a separate license as long as the business has a
license. However massage or acupressure technicians may have to obtain an
individual business license.
Craft and hobbies: According to Franchise Tax Board, if a person is engaged in
selling activity for more then 3 times within a 12 -month period, then a seller's
permit is required. A seller permit would indicate a business and, hence, a
business license is required.
Sale tax identification number, employer identification number, business locations are
relevant data that show business activities. The data is broad, fair and does not give
special privileges to any one business type.
B. The General Components of the Draft Business License Ordinance.
As mentioned above, the draft business license is based on the current business
registration program. The purpose of the business license is not designed to raise
revenue or to substitute for land use regulations. Rather, the purpose is to establish a
regulatory mechanism whereby the City may review the management and ownership of
specific types of businesses, maintain an accurate record of businesses conducting
business in the city for statistical purposes, economic development, and to assist in
zoning compliance. A copy of the draft business license ordinance is an attachment to
the report. The following paragraphs summarize the general provisions of the business
license ordinance.
1. General provisions: As compared with the existing registration ordinance, there
are minor changes to the definitions, the requirement to have a business license
and pay a fee, the general application procedures, the content of the business
license application and the business license sections. Language is added to clarify
what businesses are exempt from the license fee but still required to have a
license. The section on annual renewal is expanded to clarify the time required for
2
business license renewal and that the lapse of a business license will trigger the
payment for delinquent fees. Further, new provisions are added to clarify when a
change or transfer of a business requires a new business license. The purpose of
this section is to ensure that the City obtains the most up to date and accurate
information about a business in collecting business data.
2. Delinquent fees and action to collect: At the June 19, 2007 study session, staff
noted that the current business registration program requires a doubling of fees for
each thirty day -period that a business operator fails to obtain a license or renewal.
Staff illustrated that a year of non-compliance with the current $10 fee could mean
thousands of dollars in delinquent penalty fees, which is not the intent of the
program. With the draft business license, language is added to clarify that the
delinquent fees for a new or required annual renewal will be capped at $500.
3. Enforcement: The various sections on enforcement, such as authority to enforce
and entry to inspect, violations, withholding business license and remedies,
cumulatively are the same as in the business registration program.
4. Insurance and bond requirements: As recommended by the City Attorney, a new
section is added whereby a licensee that is required by law to procure, -post or
maintain in effect any surety bond or policy of insurance, the issued business
license is good only if such surety and policy of insurance is in full force and effect.
The purpose of this section is to protect the City from liability.
C. Regulations for Specific Businesses.
Some businesses that are required to obtain a business license also need a conditional
use permit or other discretionary land use permit issued by the City. Land use permits
are intended to address the suitability of the business in the proposed location, with
reference to the zoning, compatibility with the neighborhood, availability of parking,
signage, design considerations and similar concerns. Land use permits "run with the
land" and are not personal to the applicants. Business licensing, on the other hand,
focuses on the identity of the owners and managers, and their qualifications for
operating a business without creating law enforcement issues. Business licenses are
personal and they apply only to the applicants and may not be transferred.
The purpose of a regulatory business license is to add additional controls to the
proposed business use and/or business operator. The businesses may have
characteristics that create special land use or law enforcement impacts (i.e., noise,
traffic, criminal behavior, operational hours, or other characteristics), which require
further investigation and operational conditions. These businesses generally
necessitate investigation by the Building and Safety Division, Fire Department, Health
Department, Planning Division and/or Sheriff's Department. Field inspections may be
required as well as criminal background investigations.
1. Specific businesses that require investigation: Staff reviewed the list of specific
land uses in the Development Code and determined that the following 14 types of
businesses should have additional investigation before the issuance of a business
3
license (in contrast with the County Code, that Iists150 business types, most
inapplicable to the City):
a. Acupressure and acupressure technicians (CUP)
b. Adult Businesses (adult oriented business CUP permit)
C. Alcoholic Beverage sale, off-site and on-site consumption (CUP/MCUP)
d. Bars and nightclubs (CUP)
e. Computer services/network gaming center (CUP)
f. Entertainment Establishments (CUP)
g. Firearms Dealers
h. Indoor amusement/entertainment facilities (CUP)
i. Massage establishments (CUP) and massage technicians
j. Nightclubs (CUP)
k. Second hand dealers
I. Peddling -Solicitation
m. Psychic reading
n. Tow trucks and towing companies
2. The intent of the additional regulations for the specific businesses: As mentioned
previously in the report, the City incorporated the Los Angeles County Business
license ordinance as part of City's Municipal Code (Title 5), which includes existing
provisions that regulate the above businesses. Specific businesses such as
entertainment establishments, massage establishments, nightclubs, tow trucks and
firearm dealers have extensive regulations. The regulations have been simplified
and the provisions are modified to fit the needs of the City. The extensive
regulations for these few businesses are needed to ensure their business activities
are lawful and that the business activities would not have a threat to the health,
safety and welfare of the community. If these businesses are located in Diamond
Bar, they would already have complied with the provisions at the time they
obtained a County business license. Therefore, the adoption of the proposed new
regulations for these businesses would not affect them; rather it would have a
positive effect. This is because it would be convenient for them to renew their
business license with the City. Further, the proposed ordinance eliminates the
requirement for a hearing for issuance of a license; hence unlike the County
ordinance, an additional hearing would not be required and the cost for renewal
would be cheaper.
3. Procedures for Regulating Specific Businesses: Because of new regulations for
the above specific businesses, new procedures are set up to address the following
areas.
a. Require pertinent additional information for processing the business license
application
b. Require a investigation prior to issuance of a business license
C. Review and approval
d. Establish grounds of denial of business license.
e. Effects of business license denial
E
F. Establish a right to impose conditions of approval with the Council having the
authority to change, modify or eliminate conditions if the reasons for the
imposition of such conditions have been cured or no longer exist.
g. Establish provisions where the City Council has the authority to modify,
suspend, or revoke a business license.
In. Establish provisions for appeal and hearing process for City's decision to
approve, deny or condition a business license.
D. Proposed Fees
Fees associated with a regulatory business license program do not require voter
approval. Processing fees are typically based upon the philosophy of full cost recovery.
At the June 19, 2007 Study Session, the consensus of the Council was for full cost
recovery fees to administer the business license program.
Fees for business license:
Initial license $53.50
Renewal fee $22
The current business registration fee is $10 initial business registration and $10 for
a renewal.
2. Delinquent fees: Capped at $500.
3. Fees for specific businesses with investigations: A regulatory business license
program necessitates higher fees for businesses that require investigation. These
businesses generally necessitate investigation by the Planning Division, Building
and Safety Division, County Fire Department, Health Department, and/or Sheriff's
Department. Field inspections may be required as well as criminal background
investigations. The reasons for the necessary investigations would be to ensure
that the business operator does not have criminal background and that the
business operation would not create nuisance problems such as increase noise or
law enforcement impacts. Typically, the fees will reimburse the City for the cost to
investigate the proposed business operator. As presented to the Council at the
June 19, 2007 study session, the estimated full cost recovery for businesses that
require investigation is $278.68. The cost is based on background check for one
person. Staff has rounded it up to flat fee of $300 per person background check.
By doing so, a business that requires a background check of the licensee and the
manager (two persons) would cost $600. Business types that may require more
than one person background check include entertainment, massage
establishments, adult businesses, bars and nightclubs.
The following table compares business license fees from Los Angeles County and
the fees from the City for the specific businesses:

E. Penalties and Enforcement for not Obtaining a Business License
The City's Municipal Code currently indicates any person violating any business license
provision is guilty of a misdemeanor, which is punishable by fine, or imprisonment in the
County jail for a period not exceeding six months, or both.
F. Implementation
Staff has been implementing the business registration program the past two years. Staff
believes that the various responsibilities and duties of the new business license will be
absorbed by existing staff members.
N
CONCLUSION
With the implementation of the new business license program, the business community will
find Diamond Bar process is easier, faster and less expensive.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ,
R['nR
TO: Honorable Mayor and Member of the City Council
VIA: James DeStefano, City Mang)
TITLE: City Council Study Session Re arding an "In -House" Business
License
RECOMMENDATION: Receive a presentation from staff, discuss the report, and direct
staff to enact an in-house business license program.
BACKGROUND:
On November 21, 2006, the City Council held a study session on the status of the City's
business registration program and the Los Angeles County business license program. The
Council agreed with staffs assessment that the County business license program is costly
and cumbersome in its processing due to the following factors: the complexity of the code,
logistics of requiring Diamond Bar business owners to travel to downtown Los Angeles, and
the requirement to have duplicate public hearings. Furthermore, the Council recognized an
opportunity to create a business -friendly license program that would improve customer
service and enable the City to provide a proactive response to potential problems from a
business.
After incorporation in 1989, the City entered into a General Services Agreement with the
County to provide the City, its residences and business community with various municipal
services. Among other services, the City contracted with the County to administer the
City's business license function. The City adopted the entire Los Angeles County Code
title on business license as its own; this appears in Title 5 of the City's Municipal Code, and
has been unchanged since initially adopted. As the City has matured and conditions have
warranted, the City has reduced the level of contracted support provided by the County and
opted to bring specific services in-house". However, the County continues to administer
the business license program, and its Business License Commission acts on applications
for City business licenses.
DISCUSSION:
Current Business License Program
The County has established a list of approximately 150 business types that require a
County business license. This list includes many types of businesses that are not being
found in Diamond Bar (i.e., explosives, water taxis, boarding houses, hog ranch, poultry
dealer, etc.). Diamond Bar has approximately 1700 businesses, of which on 200-250
require a County business license.
The fees to acquire a County business license are relatively high, ranging from $50.00 to
$2,268.00. An annual renewal fee which is less than the initial application fee is required
and varies depending upon the type of use. The City does not receive any revenue from
the program.
Diamond Bar business owners are required to apply in person at the Los Angeles County
Business License Office located in downtown Los Angeles. The length of time to process
a business license depends on the number of County agencies that must review the
application. When review by several County agencies is required, the processing period
can be quite lengthy. The City has no control over the County's processing or time frame
for issuing a business license. The County does not provide an "over-the-counter"
business license rather it requires all applicants to participate in a public hearing before the
Los Angeles County Business License Commission. The Business License Commission
consists of members appointed by the Board of Supervisors. Business license
enforcement is provided by the County.
The Purpose of Business License Program
The purpose of business licensing is to provide a mechanism to review the management
and ownership of specific types of businesses that may be more prone than others to
causing law enforcement related problems. It is not designed to raise revenue, nor is it a
substitute for land use regulation or business registration. Ordinarily, only a relatively
narrow category of businesses would be required to obtain a business license before
commencing operations, and only some of them would require a public hearing.
How does business licensing differ from land use regulations?
Many of the businesses that are required to obtain a business license also need a
conditional use permit or other discretionary land use permit issued by the City. Land use
permits are intended to address the suitability of the business in the proposed location,
with reference to the zoning, compatibility with the neighborhood, availability of parking,
signage, design considerations and similar concerns. Land use permits "run with the land"
and are not personal to the applicants. Business licensing, on the other hand, focuses on
the identity of the owners and managers, and their qualifications for operating a business
without creating law enforcement issues. Business licenses are personal —they apply only
to the applicants and may not be transferred.
How does business licensing differ from business registration?
The City currently has a business registration program. The purpose of business
registration is to document the business activity in the City to ensure that a business
establishment is operating within the correct zoning district and in accordance with the
applicable municipal codes.
2
The business registration process helps the City to better understand the types of
businesses in the community. The information obtained from business registration is used
to track business types in the City, aid in the proper receipt of sales taxes from the State,
provide useful information for economic development programs, and assist public safety
agencies. All individuals, partnerships, and corporations conducting or operating a
business within the City are required to register.
In contrast, business licensing does not reach all businesses, but only a narrow category of
businesses that are determined to require an extra degree of regulation. The purpose of a
regulatory business license is to add additional controls to the proposed business use
and/or business operator. The business types within this category may have
characteristics that create special land use or law enforcement impacts (i.e., noise, traffic,
criminal behavior, operational hours, or other characteristics), which require further
investigation and operational conditions. These businesses generally necessitate further
scrutiny by the Building and Safety Division, Fire Department, Health Department, Planning
Division and/or Sheriffs Department. Field inspections may be required as well as criminal
background investigations.
Implementation of a Business License Program "In House"
It is not recommended that the Council make any substantive changes to the business
registration program, but instead, just simply change the name from "registration" to
"license" and fold in the additional regulatory licensing currently handled by the County. In
other words, the majority of businesses required to register with the City will see no change
otherthan changing from "registration" to "license". Businesses that require an extra layer
of regulation, i.e. those who are today regulated by County Business License, will continue
to be subject to a more substantial review.
Uses That Could Require a Regulatory Business License
Of the uses listed in Development Code Sections 22.08 and 22.10 that require a
discretionary review (i.e., Minor Conditional Use Permit/Conditional Use Permit) the
following arguable would be candidates for a regulatory business license in order to
conduct business in Diamond Bar:
♦ Mobile home parks
♦ Bars and nightclubs
♦ Indoor amusement/entertainment facilities &
entertainment in general
Computer services/network gaming center
Personal services — acupressure, massage
therapy, tattoo parlors
♦ Alcohol sales on-site consumption
♦ Clubs, lodges & private meeting halls
♦ Health & fitness clubs
♦ Private recreational facilities
♦ Outdoor recreation
♦ Theaters, auditoriums, meeting halls
Studios — art, dance, music, photography, etc.
♦ Alcoholic beverage sales off-site consumption in
conjunction with sale of motor fuel
Certain uses do not require a discretionary review. However, a regulatory business license
may be required to ensure compliance with the Municipal Code or to attach required
operational standards. These uses are as follows:
+ Adult oriented businesses + Gun dealers
+ Psychic readers + Message technician
+ Billiard operators + Taxicab drivers
+ Acupressure establishment
Fees for Regulatory Business License
A regulatory business license program necessitates fees that are higher for the types of
businesses that require additional review as mentioned above. Typically, the fees will
reimburse the City for the cost to investigate the proposed business operator. Fees
associated with a regulatory business license program do not require voter approval.
Processing fees are typically based upon the philosophy of full cost recovery.
The City's proposed regulatory business license fee is based on the amount of time
required to conduct a thorough background check including a review by other outside
agencies (i.e. Sheriff, Fire, Health Dept., etc.). According to Los Angeles County Sheriffs
Department/Business License Investigation Division, the charge to the Cityfor investigating
a business license application will varying depending upon the amount of time required to
conduct the actual investigation. In April 2007, staff spoke with the Business License
Investigation Division, the -current rate for a license investigation and background check is
$75.06 per hour with an average time of three hours to complete the investigation and a 30
day turn around time.
If City Building and Safety Division or Neighborhood Improvement Officer is required to
investigate, it could be reasonable to approximate that they will use a minimum of 15
minutes each for field and file review. The City Finance Division will administer the
regulatory and registration process and issue the certificate (license). The City Planning
Division will review the application for compliance with the City's Development Code. The
estimated time for both the Planning Division and Finance Division is 30 minutes.

2. Renewal fee:
Renewal fees for regulatory licenses will be less than the initial fee if all
circumstances remain the same. Staff estimated that the time needed to process a
renewal is approximately 15 minutes per business license and the estimated fee is
$22.00. If the business license renewal includes a change in business location or
use, then the renewal will be processed as a new business license with the $53.50
fee. If the renewal with changes requires a background investigation, the cost
would be $278.68 cost.
Cost of a Los Angeles County Business License
The following are examples and comparisons between the cost of a business license from
Los Angeles County and the estimated cost from the City.

$22.00
In summary, the estimated City fee for a business license is much less than the County
fee, business license applications could be done by mail or "over-the-counter," business
license public hearings would not be necessary and the processing time would be shorter.
Fee Options for Council to consider
All business types would pay a $10.00 fee for a business license with an annual
renewal fee of $10.00; and establish a full -cost recovery of $278.68 for business
types that would require a background checkwith an annual renewal fee of $22.00 if
there are no changes to the business. (Recommended by staff)
2. Establish full -cost recovery of $53.50 without a background investigation and an
annual renewal fee of $22.00 if there are no changes to the business; and establish
a full -cost recovery of $278.68 for business types that would require a background
check with an annual renewal fee of $22.00 if there are no changes to the business.
3. Consider 75% of the full cost (75 % of $278.68 is $209.01 for new business and
75% of $22 is $16.50 for renewal) and full cost for Sheriff's investigation.
4. Consider 50% of full cost (50% of $278.68 is $139.34 for new business and 50% of
$22 is $11 for renewal) and full cost for Sheriff's investigation.
5. Maintain current business registration fee of $10.00 for all businesses with Los
5
Angeles County Business License Commission in administering the business
license function.
Penalties and Enforcement
The City Municipal Code currently indicates any person violating any business license
provision is guilty of a misdemeanor which is punishable by fine, or imprisonment in the
County jail for a period not exceeding six months, or both.
Currently, the business registration fee doubles every 30 days. Without a cap, the
cumulative penalty fee for every 30 days would mean a penalty fee of over $20,000 in a
12 -month period for the $10 business registration fee. It is staffs opinion that the City
should establish a penalty cap based on the following number of notices. A business
should receive a notice to renew or register the business (first 30 -day notice), follow by a
late notice (second 30 -day notice), a delinquent notice (third 30 -day notice) and a final
delinquent (fourth and last 30 -day notice). A 10 percent (of the amount of license) penalty
is usually added for failure to pay the license fee on the required date and for each 30 days
after onto all fees are paid in full. All remedies prescribed are cumulative.
Approximate Time Necessary to Process an Application
Applications that would be regulatory and require discretionary review (CUP/CUP, etc.),
and review of other agencies could have an estimated time of 90 days or more depending
on the application's complexity. Applications that would be regulatory and do not required
a discretionary review but require the review of other agencies could have an estimated
time of 30 days.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct staff to prepare an appropriate ordinance to replace the existing Title 5 in the
Municipal Code in order to establish an "in-house" business license program.

10- REVIEW OF FY 2006-07 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES/INTRODUCTION OF
FISCAL YEAR 2007-08 BUDGET — DISCUSSION AND ACTION.
CM/DeStefano asked for Council comment on the revised order of priorities and
sub -items, especially with respect to communications. The only new goal is
bullet #4 "Enhance the City's website to provide additional information and
access to City services."
C/Everett explained why he asked for re -prioritization with emphasis on
communication.
M/Tye said he appreciated a fresh set of eyes on the list. He would not,
however, want anyone to misunderstand that he believed the number one issue
in D.B. was communication because he believes the City does a good job of
communicating at the Council and staff level in reaching out to the community.
No one he spoke with during the recent election said anything about doing a
better job of communicating. Their priorities were traffic and economic
development, etc. He was disturbed about force ranking and felt it was important
for the Council to stick with the goal for a "strategic plan for creating a high-
quality dynamic center at the D.B. Golf Course." He wanted residents to
understand it was an option that had been under consideration since 1991.
CM/DeStefano said he reworded the goal in order to better focus on the overall
strategic plan for the City that could include the D.B. Golf Course property.
C/Chang agreed with M/Tye that the proper priority order would be transportation
and economic development to determine the future and quality of life of the
residents, followed by "communication."
JUNE 19, 2007 PAGE 2 CC STUDY SESSION
C/Herrera said she too would prefer the order be 1) transportation, 2) economic
development and 3) communication or to eliminate the numbering altogether.
C/Tanaka said he would be in favor of eliminating the numbers.
Discussion ensued regarding building a dynamic center in another location and
the inclusion of the library.
CM/DeStefano confirmed the Council's desire to prioritize the items as follows:
1) transportation, 2) economic development, move the library and golf course to
the third bullet under economic development, and 3) communication.
CM/DeStefano suggested #1 be renamed "traffic mitigation." Council concurred
with the inclusion of consideration of a high quality dynamic center at the D.B.
Golf Course.
BUDGET:
FD/Magnuson explained the Budget revisions and reserves.
C/Chang asked that staff prepare a PowerPoint presentation for the next budget
discussion so that Council Members could more easily follow the discussion.
► DISCUSSION AND ACTION OF IN-HOUSE BUSINESS LICENSING.
CDD/Fong presented a report on the possibility of bringing Business Licensing
in-house instead of using L.A. County. Following her report she asked for
Council direction.
CA/Jenkins explained that Council has the option to decide whether it wants
businesses to come to the City with new license applications. However, there
are logistical reasons why the City might choose to issue renewals. If there are
businesses that present the City with problems or there are defects in their
licensing with the County, those can then be corrected through modification or
revocation procedures. The vast majority of businesses would smoothly
transition because it would reduce the logistical burden for the City taking over
and without having to do 200 plus background investigations. If businesses have
County licenses and the County is the City's agent, the City cannot, without some
due process simply terminate a license. From both a legal and logistical
standpoint the City would be better served to look at problem businesses on a
case-by-case basis.
CDD/Fong explained to ClEverett how the application process would be
shortened if the City were to handle the licensing. She said it was virtually a
duplication of effort for businesses to have to go through the public hearing
process with the City and then go to the County to apply for licenses.
JUNE 19, 2007 PAGE 3 CC STUDY SESSION
M/Tye asked how the County came up with their renewal fees.
CM/DeStefano stated that staff does not know how the County calculates
renewal fees; but that he felt if might be based on the cost for performing the
service to generate the renewal.
CM/DeStefano responded to M/Tye that there would be no additional staff
required because existing staff members would absorb the various
responsibilities.
M/Herrera felt there would not have been problems with Scribbles if the City were
in control of the licensing process.
M/Tye felt the City should not be doing business registration and said he would
like to have that process absorbed into the licensing process.
C/Tanaka felt it would be a good service to businesses to speed up and make
the entire process friendlier.
C/Chang also felt that the City would have had fewer problems and avoided legal
costs if it had been in control of the licensing. In his opinion, it is a must for
convenience, better and more efficient government and would create an
enormous bond with the business community. Bottom line is that this would help
the City govern pro -actively rather than reactively. He suggested that the fee be
increased to make certain the City would at least break even and not have to go
back and ask for more.
CA/Jenkins explained to M/Tye that there would be three tiers of licensing — 1) all
businesses that are currently registered would continue to pay $10; 2) some
businesses that require an additional layer of regulation, a sub -category of the
businesses currently regulated by the County that would not require a hearing.
Whatever the City charged for tier 2 would include the $10 business registration
fee; and 3) those businesses that require a hearing, which is a very small portion
of the businesses in the City. In short, the City would be doing what the County
does now but in a much more simplified manner thereby streamlining the
process.
C/Everett agreed with C/Chang that the City should be doing the licensing and
felt the renewal should be $101 or $103 because it would more likely entail about
two -hours worth of work for each license on average.
C/Herrera said she favored the program and increasing the charge where
licensing may require background checks.
CA/Jenkins stated that staff would have to come back to the City Council with a
revised ordinance to make adjustments and review the matter from time to time
to make sure the program was fully capitalized.
JUNE 19, 2007 PAGE 4 CC STUDY SESSION
Discussion ensued.
Council unanimously concurred to bring business licensing in-house and directed
staff to prepare the appropriate ordinance to replace the existing Title V in order
to establish an in-house business license program.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Nef Cortez, outgoing Chamber President, thanked
staff and Council for their good work. He hoped that the Council would embrace the
notion of the Regional Chamber being able to function more effectively and serve as the
City's Chamber. He thanked C/Herrera for recommending funding in the amount of
$24,000 because he felt the current grant was under funding the Chamber.
CM/DeStefano reminded Council that it directed staff to retain the $12,000 figure in the
new budget and work with the Chamber to determine the feasibility of a contribution of
up to $24,000 according to a proposed scope of work.
A®JISbIRNMENT: With no further business to come before the City Council,
M/Tye adjourned the Study Session at 6:32 p.m.

110. SR60/LEMON AVENUE INTERCHANGE IMPROVEMENTS UPDATE
CM/DeStefano stated that this item is a status update on the State 60 Lemon
Ave. Project that the City has been working on with the City of Industry and the
State for sometime. The whole issue of traffic mitigation is the Council's number
one goal, with one specific component of the goal - to monitor and participate in
the completion of the Lemon Ave. Interchange Project. CM/DeStefano then
introduced PWD/Liu who with members of JE Jacobs made a power point
presentation.
PWD/Liu stated that joining the meeting is a representative with the City of
Industry and the City's Traffic and Transportation Commissioners. He introduced
Mr. Chen with JE Jacobs who introduced members of his group. Mr. Chen then
made a power point presentation updating the City Council on the four alternative
proposals for the SR60/Lemon Avenue Interchange Improvements.
Mr. Chen confirmed to M/Tye that in Alternative 2, the Brea Canyon on/off ramps
would remain open.
C/Chang asked if the sound wall costs were included in the total cost.
Mr. Chen responded that they were.
PWD/Liu explained that typically, the review period for the environmental
document is 30 -days; however, the team has requested a 60 -day review period
with the goal being to adequately inform residents along the proposed project
area.
OCTOBER 2, 2007 PAGE 2 CC STUDY SESSION
M/Tye asked if it would take 18 -months from final design to final design approval.
Mr. Chen responded that generally, the timeframe would be 9 to 12 months but
because of the potential right-of-way negotiations with homeowners Caltrans
would typically require a minimum of 18 -months.
PWD/Liu explained that staff wants to make sure that the residents are properly
educated and informed. Staff will bring back more information about possible
decisions in 2008.
C/Herrera asked if the construction cost estimates were on track with 2010 costs
and whether the costs for alternatives 2, 3 and 4 included right-of-way costs?
Mr. Chen responded by stating that the proposed costs are based on today's
dollars with future escalations accommodated by contingencies. For example,
there is a built-in 20% contingency as well as a 35% margin. Right-of-way costs
are included as well.
MPT/Tanaka asked if the current carpool project scheduled to be completed in
about 2012 was being completed in conjunction with this project? He understood
that Caltrans had discovered that several sound walls would have to be removed
to accommodate the additional lane. It appeared to him that alternatives 2, 3 and
4 would require further widening of the freeway at this juncture.
Mr. Chen said that based on the construction plans, the freeway would not be
extended beyond the current shoulders with most of the construction happening
in the median area behind the K -rails and that even if the projects were being
constructed simultaneous there would be no conflict.
C/Chang thanked staff for the presentation and pointed out that the City's goal
was to eliminate the Brea Canyon Rd. on and off ramp because it is very
problematic to the City. An on-off ramp at Lemon Ave. would help solve a lot of
problems with truck traffic. He felt that in accordance with costs and other
factors, Alternative 3 was the best. With the information provided today he would
not favor Alternative 4 at twice the cost with no added benefit. Alternative 2
seemed to him to be a band-aid fix. He further stated he would prefer to have
the fix completed sooner than 2012.
PWD/Liu responded to M/Tye that the crosshatch indicates a partial taking of
those areas.
C/Herrera asked if the construction schedule would be accelerated if the team
was successful in negotiating with the residents in a shorter timeframe.
Mr. Chen stated that if all went well, construction could begin sooner.
OCTOBER 2, 2007 PAGE 3 CC STUDY SESSION
C/Everett asked if there were numbers to indicate an increased performance
from Alternative 2, 3 or 4 because the overall capacities would be pretty much
the same.
PWD/Liu said that if no improvements were made traffic would increase. With
growth happening around the City and especially with the growth from the City of
Industry there will be a bottleneck at the Brea Canyon Rd. intersection. There is
also a question of safety at that intersection that Caltrans has been aware of for
many years.
Mr. Chen said that this project would also include improvements to local
intersections such as the addition of a left -turn pocket at Lemon Ave. and Golden
Springs Dr.
Both Mr. Chen and PWD/Liu stated that the Traffic Study was very detailed in its
analysis of levels of service at certain points in the future.
CM/DeStefano explained that there were a variety of issues to be considered. It
is not only performance that is being considered but other physical impacts to
D.B. as well. D.B. will be working with Caltrans to reduce the amount of right-of-
way taking necessary from any residential, school and commercial properties.
D.B. is not interested in complete takings and none are being requested at this
point. Staff is also very concerned about potential impacts to the business
community. At this time the business community receives detrimental effects as
a result of the ineffective Brea Canyon Rd. on and off ramp. Conversely, the
on/off ramp offers many benefits to the businesses in the immediate vicinity. If
that intersection is to be eliminated, what other impacts would occur and would
they be positive or negative. For D.B. that intersection is very critical to business.
So there are many things that the City needs to consider. In addition to
increased performance considerations D.B. has to weigh all issues to determine
what is best for the community.
M/Tye said that the yards that slope down to Golden Springs and homes on
Golden Springs south of Lemon Ave. are impacted today by noise from the
freeway and how would these alternatives further impact these homes that
necessitate a sound wall?
Mr. Chen responded that Caltrans had the same question. The bearing walls
have come into question and the team is reconsidering them.
PWD/Liu said the basis for the sound walls was the fact that the project would
bring traffic closer to those homes.
C/Herrera asked if the draft environmental document was a lengthy document.
Mr. Chen said that Caltrans was reviewing the team's document/input and that
the final document would be forthcoming by the anticipated date.
OCTOBER 2, 2007 PAGE 4 CC STUDY SESSION
C/Herrera asked if staff was contemplating a study session with the WVUSD
School District members.
CM/DeStefano said that one had not yet been considered. However, one could
be incorporated into the public review period.
C/Herrera said the District was concerned about the increased truck traffic near
their District offices and the elementary school on Lemon Ave.
CM/DeStefano stated that Dr. Beckler was concerned about Alternative 4
requiring a right-of-way that would take land from the School District property
which would affect their maintenance yard and add traffic to Lemon Ave. thus
impacting the school.
Public Comment:
Jack Shah asked how many months the on/off ramp would be closed and what
impact the closing would have on the on/off ramp at Grand Avenue; what other
projects were proposed during the SR60 interface; what the agency and
consultant costs were and, if the City would buy properties it might take by
condemnation?
Mr. Chen said that before the eastbound off ramp is closed the new off ramp
would be in place so that traffic would move to the newly constructed off ramp.
Likewise for the on ramp to make sure there was no disruption of service. Of
course there would be a few days of overlapping to ease the transition. If the
City asked for more elaborate landscaping the project may take longer to
complete. Moving pavement takes about two to three weeks.
M/Tye said that under Alternative 2 the on and off ramps at Brea Canyon Rd.
would go away.
Mr. Chen explained how the costs are paid.
CA/Jenkins explained that if it were necessary for the City to file an eminent
domain action, the City could deposit the estimated amount with the court and
take immediate possession of the property allowing the project to immediately
proceed. Even if the owners were to contest the taking for public purpose the
outcome would not take very long. In short, the filing of an eminent domain
action would not substantially delay moving forward on the timeframe.
► BUSINESS LICENSING — M/Tye announced that due to the length of the
previous topic, discussion regarding Business Licensing would be continued to
October 16, 2007.

OCTOBER 2, 2007 PAGE 5 CITY COUNCIL
8. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
8.1 APPROVE TRAFFIC CALMING CONCEPT PLAN ALONG SUNSET
CROSSING ROAD BETWEEN DIAMOND BAR BOULEVARD AND
PROSPECTORS ROAD, AND ON PROSPECTORS ROAD BETWEEN SUNSET
CROSSING ROAD AND GOLDEN SPRINGS DRIVE, AND AUTHORIZE STAFF
TO PROCEED WITH THE PREPARATION OF DESIGN PLANS.
SE/Yee provided Council with the background on the Traffic Calming Conceptual
Plan that commenced in 2005 with Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan
workshops. He said that after presenting the Council with a conceptual plan, staff
was directed to go back into the neighborhood to further engage the residents via a
survey regarding traffic calming devices. At its September 13, 2007 meeting the
Traffic and Transportation Commission concurred with staff's recommendation to
move forward with the conceptual plan.
Rock Miller, KOA Corp., gave a power point presentation outlining the proposed
calming devices. Results of the survey indicate a strong support for the program in
general. A number of people expressed concerns over speed cushions and a few
expressed concerns about the plan in general. He said in his experience quite often
features such as speed cushions are a concern whereas other elements such as
islands and landscape features seldom generate concerns. The plan proposes use
of bulges and curb extensions along Sunset Crossing, which would tend to reduce
the optical width of the street and a full-length median near the freeway ramp which
would produce a feeling of entering a gateway into a neighborhood. There was a
great deal of comment about landscaping and there is a clear intent that the median
be well landscaped based on promises made to the residents. The plan for
Prospector Rd, includes reducing the number of speed cushions. Bulges would be
located at the Sunset Crossing/Prospectors intersection; islands and a bulge at the
Dry Creek intersection; three speed cushions, and a combination of median and
bulges at the intersection close to the school. At the intersection to the south would
be a series of bulges and an island beyond the typical location of the shadow of the
bridge at the freeway ramp. Assuming Council approval tonight, final design should
be available in about 60 days. Staff would notify the residents of the Council's action
and indicate the construction schedule. Mr. Miller said that as always, he would
recommend a six-month measure of the effectiveness of the implementations.
Mr. Miller responded to M/Tye stating that generally when there is landscaping
included and the appearance of the improvements is clearly judged to be an
amenity to the neighborhood he was highly confident that the Council would find
very strong support for what the City has done. There is a remote chance that
people could come forward to say not enough was done. However, he has never
heard of a project in which modest islands and curb extensions like those proposed
have been ordered removed because of presenting an inconvenience orobstacle to
traffic. He said he understood the City had a negative experience with a traffic
circle. Such an implementation falls in an area where there has been mixed
experience with traffic circles and islands. He generally recommends that the
OCTOBER 2, 2007 PAGE 6 CITY COUNCIL
landscaping and full improvements be included with such a device. Quite often
when temporary devices are installed with dots, etc. people feel it is permanent.
Dust and debris tends to form within the dots because the street sweeper is unable
to properly clean them and there is no real positive effect. If traffic circles are not
done permanently with rich landscaping and an understanding it is a type of
monument they are less likely to be removed because a certain portion of the
neighborhood will become attached to it. Many communities still proceed nervously
with traffic calming devices but his experience indicates that the same effects are
not realized from a temporary device. Temporary programs generally should be
demonstrated temporarily for a few weeks, removed and hearings held about
whether to continue. He felt the biggest risk would be that the residents would want
additional devices installed because the devices would be perceived as amenities.
M/Tye asked why his recommendation of a no -left -turn sign turning west onto
Prospectors and a no -left turn heading southbound on Prospectors off of Golden
Springs was not included.
Mr. Miller said that discussions involving turn restrictions were explained to the
residents as being difficult if not impossible to enforce. Cities cannot enforce
something against a non-resident and forgive it against a resident. Although there
is through traffic on the street there is also local traffic going to and from the school.
When all was said and done the residents felt that the inconvenience of a turn
restriction upon themselves would outweigh the possible advantages. Also, if it was
a left turn at Sunset Crossing and Prospectors because the school is the dominant
reason for traffic there, there would probably be a parade of vehicles proceeding
straight across and making a u -turn within a hundred feet and turning right.
SE/Yee further explained that the survey included an item for turn restrictions and
the response placed the item last on the list of preferences.
Steve Tyler, 202 Red Cloud Dr., said he would like to see traffic diverted back to the
freeways and away from residential neighborhoods. The traffic does not come from
his neighborhood but from the SR57. He suggested that the City not allow right
turns at Sunset Crossing between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. weekdays and possibly
in the afternoons as well.
Curtis Postel, 531 N. Deep Hill Rd., stated that he was first notified of this project
about the middle of the year and that he had received the survey late. He also
expressed his displeasure with the City of Industry's plan to build high rises and to
level the hills; as well as the City's desire to get rid of the golf course and put in a
strip mall. He said he has lived in his home for over 30 years and was very
concerned about what was happening in the City. He wanted the Council to drive
through his neighborhood and think about what would happen when these devices
were installed. He felt that an occasional Sheriffs presence and painting 25 mph on
the street would be the best solution.
OCTOBER 2, 2007 PAGE 7 CITY COUNCIL
Kathy Chavez, 300 So Rock River Rd., said she too had lived in her home for 30
years with the same number of residents. Even though the City has guaranteed
Sunset Crossing Rd. will not be a through street to the City of Industry it does not
guarantee that her street will not become a four -lane highway. The freeway is right
behind her home and when it comes to wrecking her neighborhood she has to
complain. There is limited parking in her neighborhood and street parking is a
necessity. If the City moves forward with these devices it will cause a problem.
This is a small neighborhood that is stuck in the middle of "nowhere land" with a
traffic problem. $800,000 could buy enforcement for at least five years. She
suggested that the speed humps be installed on Sunset Crossing Rd. If these
devices are installed in her neighborhood she will use other streets to get around
town.
Mary Wehmeier, 404 N. Rock River Dr., said she did not receive a survey or a
telephone call. She spoke with Council and staff at the Fair and never heard from
anyone. She wanted to know how wide the islands would be. There is not enough
parking for residents. She wanted the City to give the residents what they want.
Michael Goda lives on Sunset Crossing and would welcome the center median to
slow the traffic and enhance safety. In his opinion, curb extensions would help
protect residents' vehicles when parked on the street. He would tend to ask for
more devices including speed cushions. He has also seen traffic speeding down
the alleyway and would like to see speed cushions in the alley as well.
Dr. Douglas Barcon, 404 North Rock River Dr., said that since his last visit to the
Council he has driven different routes and found it to be faster for him to drive down
Sunset Crossing Rd. to Diamond Bar Blvd., turn right and go onto the westbound
60.
C/Herrera wondered if the trash trucks would have difficulty maneuvering the
streets.
SE/Yee explained that the design and location of the bulges would be carefully laid
out so as not to obstruct the path of trash trucks and allow access to driveways as
well.
MTP/Tanaka thought that the last time this matter was brought before the Council
there was a request to know the actual size of the median and how it would affect
the traffic lane and wondered if the information was shared with the residents.
SE/Yee said that this plan has not yet moved into the actual design phase and
actual physical dimensions will not be available until that time.
PWD/Liu said that the concept is to maintain parking for residents and the creation
of one driving lane in each direction as well as beautify the median area.
Mr. Miller said the travel lanes are about 12 ft. wide. The two inside lanes occupy
about 24 ft. of roadway. The median is drawn to a width of approximately 12 to 14
OCTOBER 2, 2007 PAGE 8 CITY COUNCIL
ft. The curb extension is about 8 ft. wide and is designed very close to the
intersection so that it does not take away more than one or two parking spaces and
can actually be as small as one-half a parking space and in the Prospector area it
probably would be equal to about one-half a parking space. The dimension will be
somewhat dictated by the project budget, especially on Sunset Crossing. This is a
fairly long street for a fully landscaped median and would probably consume much
of the project budget. There is approximately $200,000 that has been set aside for
construction of this project; design fees run about 10 to 15% of that figure and there
are costs associated with working with the neighborhood to attempt to reach
consensus. The figures were for the pavement rehabilitation project and
construction management that were on the Consent Calendar. He heartily concurs
that it is always a good idea to do things outside of a neighborhood if one believes
the things outside are pushing traffic into the neighborhood. However, the money
does not go very far when cities go outside of the neighborhood. The budget set
aside for construction for this project is about $200,000 and there is very little that
can be done for $200,000 to move traffic better on an arterial or on a freeway. This
is a fairly ample fix for the neighborhood in terms of the budget for what will be
accomplished. As an example, a traffic signal costs more than $200,000 to
construct.
MPT/Tanaka asked if both devices had to be installed in order for the project to be
effective or could only the Sunset Crossing medians be constructed?
Mr. Miller responded that the Sunset Crossing treatment would be effective for
Sunset Crossing and the Prospector Rd. treatment would be effective for Prospector
Rd. If both are done the people driving through will have more calming features to
deal with. He felt confident in saying that the City would have a measurable
decrease in through traffic on the street with both installations. If Sunset Crossing
were done alone it would beautify the street but not have any effect on people who
wanted to use Prospectors as a shortcut between one end of the subdivision and
the other.
C/Herrera reiterated the timeline and asked if March was the final stop point for
calling a halt to the project?
SE/Yee said that one of the next opportunities for residents to speak on this matter
would be in January when staff notifies Council about the completed design.
Subsequently, once the devices are installed the City would go through its usual
six-month evaluation process at which point staff would be collecting speed and
volume data to present to the Council for final concurrence on whether the
installations should be kept in place.
C/Herrera asked how many residences were involved in the project.
SE/Yee responded that 1173 surveys were sent to residents and 263 responses
were received.
OCTOBER 2, 2007 PAGE 9 CITY COUNCIL
C/Herrera said that while this project affects a lot of people, not a large number
have responded.
SE/Yee said that historically, this is one of the better turnouts that the City has
received in terms of percentage responses. There have been four notifications to
the 1173 residences, two neighborhood meetings a Council Meeting in May and a
Traffic and Transportation Commission Meeting in September.
PWD/Liu reiterated the facts and indicated that unless individuals respond in writing
or speak out, staff has difficulty in determining the needs of the community.
However, through the surveys staff understood that the majority of residents who
live along Sunset Crossing would like to see medians or speed cushions and
residents along Prospectors indicated speed cushions were their number one
choice. Staff believes that a 22% response is very good.
C/Chang suggested staff hold one more town meeting and have tonight's speakers
invite their neighbors.
C/Everett said he appreciated the level of work and appreciated the frustration of
the speakers. He felt the analysis was sound and that bulges served their purpose.
People have asked for specific measurements and it appears that if a design were
completed by January the project would go through another group of checkpoints
and proceed to the next step. He asked if the schedule could be posted on the
City's website and have a checkpoint at which the project design would come back
to the Commission and/or Council. He recommended moving forward because this
is a serious problem that needs attention.
SE/Yee responded that in addition to mailing to the entire neighborhood, staff can
post information on the website. There is a general tab on the City's website for the
NTMP which can be supplemented with details of this project. Additional
checkpoints will involve notifying the entire neighborhood once the design is
complete and a study session could be scheduled to bring Council up to speed on
what the design would look like. The checkpoints are in staff's presentation.
Ron Foster, 23010 Sunset Crossing Dr., said the Council could study this forever
and the matter would get no further than it has gotten. He said he was absolutely
opposed to having this item tabled. There are a lot of people who do not have time
to come to Council meetings who feel Council Members should be able to do their
jobs and take care of the residents' needs.
CM/DeStefano stated that this matter has been studied with the residents of the
neighborhood for the past couple of years. There have been surveys, workshops
and a variety of techniques. The rate of response is higher than that of other
neighborhoods within the community. This is a project that would piggyback on the
project that the Council just approved in its Consent Calendar. Prospectors Rd. is
scheduled for an $800,000 renovation. Prospectors Rd, needs a variety of overlay
grinding and various road improvements that will occur whether or not any
neighborhood traffic management techniques are employed. The roadwork that is
OCTOBER 2, 2007 PAGE 10 CITY COUNCIL
scheduled for Prospectors and approved bythe City Council will occuroverthe next
few months with a detailed schedule to be developed so as not to negatively impact
the neighborhood during the holiday period. This project does not have a
specific time limit. Staff's recommendation for action this evening is recommended
based on input from the residents, the Council's professional staff and consultants
as well as from the Traffic and Transportation Commission. The Council can
approve the recommendation and move forward this evening, modify the
recommendation and take action to move forward, remand the project back to the
Traffic and Transportation Commission and staff to conduct other survey work, etc.
Residents will be concerned about the length of time this takes and there are other
residents that may believe additional time is required.
M/Tye said that one of his questions was what about saturation of sheriff
enforcement in the a.m. and p.m. and as addressed by C/Everett the City would not
be able to afford to spend $200,000 because when the money was exhausted in a
certain amount of time the City would be out the $200,000 and the problem would
return.
SE/Yee said that $200,000 for enforcement would come from the City's General
Fund and not from federal funding because federal funds cannot be used for
enforcement.
M/Tye said he appreciated that fact but reiterated that the problem would not go
away. The City cannot divert traffic to the freeway. D.B. streets are attractive to
drivers because of the excessive traffic on the freeway. He felt the problem was
cut -through traffic and not neighborhood traffic. He agreed with Mr. Foster that the
Council could look at this over and over again. He stated that the first Neighborhood
Traffic Management Program he attended was April or May 2005 in the Sunset
Crossing neighborhood at the YMCA and here we are in October, 2007. At that
time, staff and consultants outnumbered the residents. A 22% response is a very
good sampling. The City needs to be proactive and move forward and take action.
A speaker spoke about the City wanting to turn the golf course into a strip mall. In
spite of what residents have been told and what a speaker said tonight there is no
proposal before this Council to turn the golf course into a strip mall.
C/Chang withdrew his proposal to table this matter.
C/Everett moved, C/Herrera seconded, to approve the concept and authorize staff
to proceed with the preparation of design plans with NTMP milestone monitoring to
be posted on the City's website. Motion approved by the following Roll Call vote:

8.2 APPOINTMENT TO PLANNING COMMISSION BY COUNCIL MEMBER
HERRERA - C/Herrera said that at the last City Council Meeting she announced
that due to other obligations, Osman Wei would be unable to continue his duties on
the Planning Commission. She invited interested parties to apply and received two
applications, one from Jack Shah, currently her Traffic and Transportation
Commissioner and a Civil Engineer, and another application from Devon Smith, a
mechanical engineer and graduate of D.B.H.S. She interviewed both parties and
selected Jack Shah as her appointment to the Planning Commission.
C/Herrera moved, MPT/Tanaka seconded to approve C/Herrera's appointment of
Jack Shah to the Planning Commission. Motion carried by the following Roll Call
vote:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Chang, Everett, Herrera, MPT/Tanaka,
M/Tye
NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None
ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None
Jack Shah thanked the Council Members for expressing their confidence by
selecting him to serve as a Planning Commissioner. He thanked SE/Yee for his
assistance while serving on the Traffic and Transportation Commission and
indicated that many residents spoke very highly of Mr. Yee's contribution to the
residents through the NTMP.
COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS/COUNCIL MEMBER COMMENTS:
C/Chang said that traffic is the number one concern of the City's residents and is a
topic of conversation at almost all Council meetings. When he moved to D.B, in
1987 Grand Ave. was closed. Fortunately, the two cities settled on opening Grand
Ave. between Chino Hills and D.B. Present and past Councils and staff have spent
a great deal of time reaching out to the community to listen to residents' concerns
about traffic. Today the City Council discussed alternatives for improving the
freeway system that included on/off ramps at Lemon Ave., a topic that has been
discussed for the past 10 years. He personally feels very frustrated at how slowly
changes are made but appreciates the thoughtful way in which the City attempts to
consider all possible sides of proposed changes. As a result of Proposition 1 B D.B.
will receive close to $1 million of the allocated funds for traffic improvement. He
commented on the joint venture dedication of Lorbeer Middle School Field
dedication to be held on Monday, October 8.
C/Everett said he too was frustrated about the challenge of traffic management. He
also invited residents to join in the rededication of the Lorbeer Middle School Field.
It was a pleasure tonight to welcome the new WVUSD Superintendent. He
acknowledged the success of the House family. He thanked Chief Nieto for
reminding residents about planning in the event of a fire or other disaster. He felt
the hand car wash was great and pleased to recognize them as business of the
month. He had the privilege of attending an excellent conference with C/Herrera
OCTOBER 2, 2007 PAGE 12 CITY COUNCIL
and CDD/Fong about good community. As a servant to the City of D.B. his focus
will be sustainability. The conference focused on communities as renewal
resources. He felt the concept should be part of the City's Vision Statement. There
are recycling bins at Sycamore Park during the Concerts in the Park series. The
senior/adult apartments at the north end of D.B. cooperated with staff and have
recycling bins in their complex. He encouraged business owners to attend the small
business expo.
C/Herrera said it was a sad occasion for her to attend the funeral of City of Industry
Council Member Phil Marcellin with whom she served on fourdifferent boards. Mr.
Marcellin was a very active Council Member. He served on the San Gabriel Valley
Council of Governments, Alameda Corridor East Construction Authority;
Transportation Committee for COG and Four Corners Transportation Coalition
which C/Herrera chairs. Mr. Marcellin was always in attendance at meetings and
very supportive of other cities in the region including D.B. It is a tragic loss for the
city and the community. It reminded her that D.B. lost Bob Zirbes on February 8
and that loss created a huge void within the City Council because Bob worked so
very, very hard for the City he loved. She thanked the Council for voting to approve
her appointment of Jack Shah to the Planning Commission. Since there is now a
vacancy on the Traffic and Transportation Commission she announced that she
would accept applications from interested parties until 5:30 p.m. October 10 and
asked that staff place the matter on the October 16 meeting agenda.
MPT/Tanaka attended the WVUSD award dinner during which individuals who
foster good educational programs within the community were recognized. He
attended the PUSD candidate forum; the Regional Chamber of Commerce Mixer
hosted by the Marriott Courtyard in Hacienda Heights; the Walnut Valley Water
District barbecue lunch and toured the plant. He attended the D.B. Chinese-
American Moon Festival on Saturday and the Alisa Ann Rauch Burn Foundation
golf tournament dinner. MPT/Tanaka announced that the PUSD announced its
representative for this semester who is a senior at Diamond Ranch High School;
attended the D.B. 4 -Youth meeting; the Senior Octoberfest Dinner and Dance; the
WCCA authority meeting last week and the Neighborhood Watch summer
barbecue. He thanked Deputy St. Amant for attending and bringing the mobile trailer
with him.
M/Tye thanked CSD/Rose and other staff members for completing the Lorbeerfield
project and said he was reminded that he was on the Parks and Recreation
Commission when the City first talked about refurbishing that field. Finally, the
School District understood the benefit of this joint venture. He again congratulated
Dr. Simms — she has big shoes to fill with Dr. Beckler moving on to Corona -Norco
and has confidence that Dr. Simms will bring new talents and vision to WVUSD and
maintain the high level of accomplishment within the District.

AUGUST 23, 2007 PAGE 2 P&R COMMISSION
riscai year. KSM/Somogyi said she would provide a complete listing at the
next Commission meeting.
RSM/Somogyi responded to Chair/Owens that the Summer Day Camp
enrollment was 85 children per week.
C/Herndon asked if the financial summary for the 4th of July Blast was
complete and RSM/Somogyi responded that the Sheriff's Department
overtime was not included because the numbers were not available until
several months after the event. RSM/Somogyi said she expected the total to

VC/Low asked if the food vendors were able to keep the sale proceeds and
RSM/Somogyi responded "yes."
2.2 PARKS REPORT — PMS/Jordan
2.3 CIP PROGRAM REPORT— CSD/Rose
a. Paul C. Grow Park ADA Retrofit — overall project scheduled for
completion by October 11.
b. Lorbeer Middle School — Football Field & Slope Improvements—work
in process and on schedule for completion by September 17.
C. Batting Cages at Peterson and Pantera Parks — New plans have
come back with re -engineered posts (4 inches instead of 8 inches),
reduction of pole height from 12 feet to 10 feet. Staff will again be
taking the project out to bid anticipating much better pricing.
d. Trail Access at Steep Canyon at Clear Creek Canyon and at the
Diamond Bar Center — revised plans in plan check with Group Delta
providing refinements to the plans.
CSD/Rose responded to C/Grundy that the allocations for Lorbeer include
Pop Warner Football practice, D.B./Walnut soccer, FCI soccer and Diamond
Ranch High School practice. After the season is over staff will do some sod
renovation. Sod work was completed at Pantera Park.
CSD/Rose responded to C/Herndon that the Lorbeer field was engineered
for good drainage. CSD/Rose said the batting cages were simply over -
engineered; thus, the doubling of the cost.
3. OLD BUSINESS:
3.1 PARK AND FACILITY NAMING POLICY.
CSD/Rose presented the subcommittee's report and presented the proposed
policy.
C/Grundy asked for explanation of Section II A 7. Discussion ensued.
C/Grundy felt the policy should not be limited to "deceased" individuals but
that it was important to not have that person currently seated to avoid conflict

of interest.
PAGE 3
P&R COMMISSION
VC/Low suggested a "cooling off" period such as two years.
Chair/Owens asked that "Community Services Director" replace Director
under the heading B. Responsibility of the Director.
C/Herndon asked about evaluation criteria under C.1, and what would
happen if no one met the criteria? CSD/Rose responded that the City
Council is the final authority and the Commission makes its
recommendations accordingly. Appeals can be made to the City Council.
Chair/Owens felt an appellate process should be spelled out in the
document.
VC/Low referred Commissioners to Page 1, Section II A. 2. "An exception
can be made for a corporate sponsorship agreement, which has a time limit
and is approved by the City Council." CSD/Rose explained that many cities
are offering facilities, rooms, amenities, etc. for fees, which is also a good
fundraising method. C/Herndon recommended including this type of
offering.
Chair/Owens asked if Page 3 C. 2 should include "by staff." Chair/Owens
pointed out that there is no role for the Commission under Page 3 F.
CSD/Rose said this paragraph indicates that neither the Council nor the
Commission would be involved.
VC/Low wondered if the addition of "individuals or families" as indicated on
Page 1, Section II. A. 3 would be appropriate as an addition to A.2 as well
and the Commission and staff concurred.
C/Grundy moved, C/Herndon seconded, to recommend City Council adopt
the documents as amended. Without objection, the motion was so ordered
with C/Liang being absent.
RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING THAT A FUTURE FACILITY IN
DIAMOND BAR BE NAMED TO HONOR BOB ZIRBES.
C/Herndon asked how this resolution would fit in with the naming policy.
C/Grundy stated that this is just a resolution to name something in the future.
At the point the Commission would attempt to name a facility or park it
would follow this policy.
Chair/Owens moved, VC/Low seconded, that the Commission submit the
naming policy to the City Council for review and approval and table the
resolution at this time.
C/Grundy said he would prefer to submit both the naming policy and the
resolution to the City Council.
C/Herndon felt the Commission might be opening itself up to criticism by
AUGUST 23, 2007 PAGE 4 P&R COMMISSION
circumventing the policy and passing this resolution
CSD/Rose offered to bring the resolution back at the next meeting.
C/Herndon said he preferred to wait until staff brought the resolution back for
adoption at the next meeting. VC/Low agreed that the Commission should
not appear to be circumventing the process. C/Grundy said he also agreed.
The Commission concurred to continue this item to the next Parks and
Recreation Commission meeting.
4. NEW BUSINESS: None
5. ANNOUNCEMENTS:
C/Herndon thanked staff for its good work.
VC/Low commented that the Diamond Bar Day at the Fair is an event not to be
missed. Diamond Bar officials are treated like royalty and it is a fun event.

business before the Parks & Recreation Commission, Chair/Owens adjourned the meeting

Agenda # _ 6.4
Meeting Date: October 16, 2007
AGENDA REPORT
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Currently there are two classifications assigned within the City's Analyst series — Senior Management Analyst
and Management Analyst. These positions are utilized and assigned within a specific department and manage
key programs, administrative assignments and special projects, which require the ability to conduct complex
and significant analyses.
Although these key classifications provide valuable analytical support, their functions are limited since they are
assigned within a specific department and not utilized Citywide. As the City remains commitment to furthering
staff development and succession planning, broadening the scope of assignments would allow the incumbents
to enhance and increase their level of experience, training and abilities. Departments currently lacking
analytical level support would be able to utilize the expertise and assistance as needed which in turn would
grow the experience level of the incumbent.
A common practice within municipal agencies is to utilize Analyst level positions citywide and have the
position(s) report to a single source, which is usually the City Manager's Office. This reporting structure
ensures consistency of supervision and provides an extra resource level citywide.
The City Manager's Office presently utilizes the classification of Senior Management Analyst to provide
analytical support to the Assistant City Manager and City Manager. However, in moving towards a pool of
supervised professional Analytical support staff, the Senior Management Analyst assigned in the City
Manager's Office would be changed to the classification of Assistant to the City Manager. The Analyst series
would then report to the Assistant to the City Manager which fills the supervisorial gap and provides additional
professional managerial support within the City Manager's Office.
The classification of Assistant to the City Manager exists in the City's approved Compensation Plan (identifying
employee salary and benefits), but has not been actively utilized for several years. This change results in a
nominal increase to the FY 07-08 Budget.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The proposed change of the Senior Management Analyst classification budgeted in the City Manager's Office
to the classification of Assistant to the City Manager will result in an increase of $10,250 in the FY 07-08
Budget for the remainder of the fiscal year. The cost of this change is approximately $17,550 per year.

TITLE: APPROPRIATE $125,100 OF THE GENERAL FUND BALANCE

PROPOSITION A FUNDS) TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2006/2007 PUBLIC
WORKS BUDGET FOR THE STATE ROUTE 57/60 FREEWAY
CONGESTION RELIEF STRATEGY AND APPROVE CONTRACT
AMENDMENT WITH SASAKI TRANSPORTATION SERVICES IN THE
AMOUNT OF $125,100 FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES RELATED
TO THE STATE ROUTE 57/60 FREEWAY CONGESTION RELIEF
STRATEGY
RECOMMENDATION:
Appropriate and Approve Contract Amendment.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The General Fund Reserve Balance will be reduced by $125,100 to fund professional
engineering services related to the State Route 57/60 Freeway Congestion Relief
Strategy.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
In March 2007, the engineering services of Sasaki Transportation and their
subconsultant, Fehr & Peers, were retained to provide technical support in evaluating
two regionally significant interchange projects (Lemon Avenue/SR-60 and the Grand
Avenue Interchange Improvements) along with the development of conceptual
alternatives for the ultimate SR -57/60 solution. Project alternatives and traffic study
reports have been developed for the aforementioned projects, but their scope does not
adequately address regional traffic concerns nor the specific issues of concern to the
City of Diamond Bar. The transportation simulation modeling services provided by
Sasaki Transportation and Fehr & Peers will enable a comprehensive analysis of traffic
operations on both the freeway and our arterial roadways. This effort goes beyond the
methodology in the existing traffic study reports that are point specific and do not
consider the operational issues of bottlenecks, multiple hours of congestion, and
complex weaving conditions.
To date, the team of Sasaki Transportation and Fehr & Peers have completed a
transportation simulation model that models system wide performance of both the
freeway and the major arterials in Diamond Bar. The model has been developed and a
multitude of alternatives for the Grand Avenue Interchange Improvements have been
tested to determine impacts to arterial roadways in Diamond Bar. A series of technical
meetings have also occurred with City of Industry's consultant team to coordinate traffic
data and discuss the traffic operations benefits among the various alternatives. The
simulation modeling has led to several refinements with the proposed Grand Avenue
Interchange concept that will result in improved traffic operations and better protection
of land use and access needs within Diamond Bar.
In regards to the "big -fix" alternatives for the 57/60 Interchange Improvements, the team
has reviewed and evaluated the recently circulated MTA feasibility study report which
identified ten (10) alternatives for the "big -fix" solution. The team provided guidance to
the City in the recommendation of three (3) conceptual "big -fix" alternatives for the
57/60 Interchange Improvements for further MTA analysis/study.
The attached scope of work includes services to be provided through the remainder of
the 2007/2008 Fiscal Year. These services include technical assistance and
transportation simulation modeling to aid the City in selecting a preferred Grand Avenue
Interchange alternative and evaluating alternatives for the ultimate SR 57/60 solution.
Services will also include assisting the City in developing a public outreach program and
development of a preliminary plan to fund and phase the freeway -related improvements.
For Fiscal Year 2008/2009, it is anticipated that a future request will be made of the
Council to retain the engineering services for remaining analyses needed to evaluate
these regional projects as they continue to develop.

TITLE: AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO CONS LTING SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT SCIENCES (EIS), TO INCREASE THE
CONTRACT AMOUNT BY $18,370 FOR A TOTAL CONTRACT AMOUNT
NOT TO EXCEED $146,365 FOR ADDITIONAL WORK REQUIRED TO
COMPLETE THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR SOUTH
POINTE WEST PROJECT, JCC HOMES.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The developer has deposited the fees to cover the additional cost ($18,370) for completing
the environmental process for the proposed project.
BACKGROUND:
In March 2005, the City entered into a contract agreement with Environmental Impact
Sciences (EIS) for $99,905 to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for a 99 unit
residential development proposed by JCC Homes. The contract amount was reduced to
$85,605 (amendment no. 1) because EIS did not have to prepare the air and noise studies.
On October 3, 2006, City Council approved an increase of $42,390 to the contract amount for
a total contract amount of $127,995. The increase in the contract amount was due to EIS
completing the additional tasks of reviewing several revisions of technical studies (air, noise,
and traffic) and three screen checks of Draft EIR.
Between January and March of 2007, the traffic impact analysis (TIA) report was updated
and revised, which required EIS to prepare an addendum to the EIR, and revise the
Reponses to Comments, the Mitigation Monitoring Program and the Facts of Findings and
Statement of Overriding Considerations. The EIR was certified and the project was approved
by the City Council in April 2007. The consultant has submitted an invoice of $18,370 to
cover the additional work, which brings the total contract amount to $146,365. Staff
recommends approval of the contract amendment. The contract with EIS will close once the
invoice is paid.

Agenda # 6.8
Meeting Date: October 16, 2007
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: James DeStefano, City Mana e
TITLE: REPORT ON PROP A TRANSIT SUBSIDY PROGRAM AND DIAL -A -CAB
PROGRAM AND AMENDMENT OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2006-2007 PROP A
TRANSIT FUND BUDGET TO INCREASE ESTIMATED REVENUE $199,500
AND INCREASE APPROPRIATIONS $185,000.
Recommendation: Approve.
Background/Discussion:
The City receives Proposition A Transit Funds which are funded by a portion of the '/2 cent
sales tax measure which was passed by Los Angeles County voters in 1980. Prop A Funds
are to be used exclusively to benefit public transportation.
Many years ago, when the City faced the ever increasing amount of unused Prop A Funds, the
City Council considered implementing several transit programs. The result was the
implementation of the popular Dial -A -Cab (Diamond Ride) program and the Transit Subsidy
program. The Diamond Ride is a program where residents who are seniors, age 60 and over
or disabled may obtain rides at a substantially discounted rate. The Transit Subsidy Program
offers transit passes for Foothill Transit, Metrolink, and MTA at a discounted rate for residents.
These discounts are 20% for residents and 50% for seniors/disabled residents. Both programs
have been very successful.
During FY06-07, the Diamond Ride program continued in its popularity. The program provided
1028 trips per month on average to the senior and handicapped residents of the City. This is
an increase in trips from the previous year's average of 990 trips per month. Although the cost
for FY06-07 was much higher than anticipated, the costs for this program have fluctuated up
and down through the years from a low of $233,783 in FY97-98 to a high of $356,584 in FY00-
01. The average cost over the past ten years has been $288,160 per year. With the rising
costs of fuel and senior's limited income, it is anticipated that this program will continue to
grow.
As mentioned earlier, the Transit Subsidy program is a program where the City sells passes to
the residents at a discounted rate. The program subsidizes the cost of bus and train passes.
The City offers these passes through online and over the counter sales. As a result the
program has a revenue component as well as the expenditure component. This program has
shown a constant increase since inception.
Page 2 — Transit Report
The chart below shows the increase in use for the past ten years:
As can be seen from the chart, the increase in fuel prices and traffic congestion have made
this a very successful program with the residents of the City of Diamond Bar. During the past
two years the use of the program has increased 20%. The net cost of the program for FY06-
07 was $198,902.55 which represents a subsidy on nearly 9,500 transit passes purchased
during the year.
Financial Impact: To more closely reflect the actual revenues and expenditures received
and expended in FY06-07 in the Prop A Transit Fund the following amendments to the budget
are requested:
With the extreme popularity of these services provided to the residents of the City of Diamond
Bar it is apparent that these programs will continue to grow. City staff will keep a vigilant eye
on these programs make sure that the uses of City funds won't out pace the budget projections
in the future.
