Meeting Date: June 30, 2006
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA; Linda C. Lowry, City Manage
TITLE: APPROVE EXTENSION OF AGREEMENT FOR TWO YEARS FOR
TRAFFIC SIGNAL MAINTENANCE SERVICES WITH REPUBLIC
ELECTRIC.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Republic Electric (Republic) has requested an increase for the routine monthly
maintenance cost from the current $50/month per intersection to $52/month per
intersection. The increased costs for gasoline, insurance, and vehicles have prompted
the request.
The City currently has 62 intersections and 7 underpass/bridge lights main6ined by
Republic. The costs for basic extraordinary maintenance and equipments will be
charged on a time and material basis. All extraordinary work must first be authorized by
the City prior to installation. The FY 2005-06 projected cost is $170,000. For FY 2006-
07, $180,000 has been budgeted to adequately handle our maintenance needs and
costs.
BACKGROUNDIDISCUSSION:
In June 2000, Council awarded the traffic signal maintenance contract to Signal
Maintenance, Inc. (SMI) for a five-year period beginning July 1, 2000 through June 30,
2005 with a provision for five (5) additional annual renewals. On October 1, 2004,
Republic acquired SMI and the acquisition was approved by Council on October 19,
2004. Subsequently, on June 7, 2005, Council approved the extension of one year to
the agreement with Republic for FY 2005-06.
Republic is committed to providing traffic signal maintenance services that will meet our
needs through experienced and qualified personnel. As an example, Republic uses
highly trained technicians to perform the signal maintenance. Additionally, all
technicians report to the City in a bucket -equipped truck as well as an extensive
materials inventory. Less time is spent going back to the yard to pick up the necessary
supplies for maintenance needs.
Republic also has personnel who have the ability to create plans and specifications for
projects that may be required for the traffic signals as general aging and/or collisions
occur in the field. Staff monitors the extraordinary maintenance charges when
presented and determines what services are necessary to maintain the traffic signals in
optimum condition. Since October 1, 2004 and the acquisition of SMI, Republic's
performance has been satisfactory and in accordance with the City's specifications.
Staff recommends the Council approve the extension of two years to the agreement
with Republic for Traffic Signal Maintenance Services for FY 2006-07 and FY 2007-08.

CITY COUNCIL
Agenda # 61(a and b)
Meeting Date: June 30, 2006
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: Linda C. Lowry, City Manager�
TITLE: RESOLUTIONS OF THE CITY COU IL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND
BAR DECLARING ITS INTENTION TO ESTABLISH COMMUNITY
FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2006-1 (DIAMOND BAR LIBRARY) AND TO
SUBMIT TO THE VOTERS THE AUTHORIZATION OF THE LEVY OF
SPECIAL TAXES TO PAY FOR CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE
OF A NEW MUNICIPAL LIBRARY, SETTING THE PUBLIC HEARING
DATE FOR AUGUST 1, 2006, AND STATING ITS INTENT TO INCUR
BONDED INDEBTEDNESS WITHIN COMMUNITY FACILITIES
DISTRICT NO. 2006-1
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the above titled resolutions declaring
the City Council's intent to establish a community facilities district and to submit to the
voters the authorization of the levy of special taxes for the purpose of constructing and
maintaining a new Diamond Bar Library, incurring bonded indebtedness, and setting
August 1, 2006 as the date of the public hearing to consider formation of the District.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The ultimate election cost payable to the County will total approximately $60,000. The
cost of preparation of the goals and policies, resolutions of intent and formulation, rate
methods, etc. by outside qualified consultants may total $75,000 which can be
reimbursed as a cost of issuance if the measure is passed. If the measure fails,
approximately $20,000 must be paid to the consultants.
Additional financial implications associated with the issuance of the bonds are
addressed below.
BACKGROUND:
On May 15, 2006, the City Council directed staff to recommence the process to place a
Library Special Tax measure on the November 2006 ballot. Staff assembled consultants
from Munifinancial, Staddling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, and Stone and Youngberg to
advise and assist the City in completing the required processes within the time
remaining.
A Special City Council meeting was held June 1, 2006, to obtain information from the
Council in order to begin the preparation of documents. The following premises are
being used to prepare the Library CFD:
• The new Library has an estimated total project cost of $15,000,000 of which
$11,000,000 shall be financed by the CFD and $4,000,000 shall be paid from the
City's General Fund.
• The Library CFD assessment formula will include rate distinction between land
uses. Housing units will be part of the rate formula.
• The annual operating cost increase will be funded through the CFD with a base
amount of $500,000 and include an annual CPI adjustment
• if the construction cost is less than the estimated $15,000,000 the savings will be
applied to the bond principal or to reduce the annual special taxes paid by
residents.
• If the City implements a rebate for low income tax payers, the rebate will need to
be administered by the City and will need to be appropriated from the General
Fund.
On June 20, 2006 the City Council approved Resolution 2006-60 adopting local goals
and policies associated with the formation of community facilities districts. This required
step now allows the City to proceed with the formation of a community facilities district.
DISCUSSION:
In order to complete the formation of a CFD and the issuance of bonds, the City Council
must adopt additional resolutions and ultimately place the measure on the ballot for a
vote of the people. The measure must pass with 66 213% to be enacted. The attached
resolutions, described in more detail below, are the next steps in the CFD formation
process.
RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO FORM COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT
The attached resolution of intent to establish the CFD identifies the rate and method of
apportionment for the special taxes and specifies the following:
• The total issuance for construction of the facility will be for not -to -exceed
$13,100,000 with net proceeds of $11 million.
2
The special tax for the construction of the facility (for approximately 30 years)
will be as follows:
Single Family Residential $61.20 Multi -family residential $44.50
Commercial Property $55.30 Industrial Property $41.20
• The special tax for the operation and maintenance in year 1 (increase by CPI
every year thereafter) is as follows:
Single Family Residential
$27.80
Multi -family residential
$20.30
Commercial Property
$25.20
Industrial Property
$18.80
• The combined construction and maintenance special tax are as follows:
Single Family Residential
$89.00
Multifamily residential
$64.80
Commercial Property
$80.50
Industrial Property
$60.00
• Sets the August 1, 2006 City Council meeting as the date for the public hearing
to consider forming the community facility district.
RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO INCUR BONDED INDEBTEDNESS
The resolution of intent to incur bonded indebtedness informs the community that the
City Council is considering authorizing the issuance of bonds in the amount not -to -
exceed $13,100,000 with net proceeds of $11 million for the purpose of constructing a
new library. The aforementioned resolution of intent to create the CFD includes the rate
and method of apportionment establishing the assessments that would be used to pay
the principle and interest of the bonds.
SUMMARY
If these resolutions are approved by the City Council, staff will prepare the necessary
CFD creation documents for the public hearing on August 1, 2006 including the
resolutions calling for a special election to be held in conjunction with the County
election on November -7,2006.

Expenses expected to be incurred include the cost of planning and designing the
Facilities and Services, the costs of forming the District, issuing bonds and levying and
collecting a special tax within the District and the cost of administration.
All or a portion of the Facilities may be purchased with District funds as
completed public facilities pursuant to Section 63314.9 of the Act and/or constructed
5
with District funds pursuant to Section 53316.2 of the Act. Any portion of the Facilities
may be financed through a lease or lease -purchase arrangement if the District hereafter
determines that such arrangement is of benefit to the District.
SECTION 5. Except where funds are otherwise available, it is the intention of the
City Council to levy annually in accordance with the procedures contained in the Act a
special tax within the District, secured by recordation of a continuing lien against all
nonexempt real property in the District, sufficient to pay for: (i) the Facilities; (ii) the
Services; (iii) the Incidental Expenses; and (iv) the principal and interest and other
periodic costs on bonds or other indebtedness issued to finance the Facilities and the
Facilities Incidental Expenses, Including the establishment and replenishment of any
reserve funds deemed necessary by the District, and any remarketing, credit
enhancement and liquidity facility fees (including such fees for instruments which serve
as the basis of a reserve fund in lieu of cash). The rate and method of apportionment
and manner of collection of the special taxes within the District are described in detail in
Attachment "C° attached hereto, which Attachment "C" is incorporated herein by this
reference. Attachment "C" allows each landowner within the District to estimate the
maximum amount that may be levied against each parcel.
If special taxes of the District are levied against any parcel used for private
residential purposes, (i) the maximum special tax rate shall not be increased over time;
provided, however, the special taxes for Services may be increased based on the
annual percentage change in the consumer price index to the extent permitted in the
rate and method, (ii) the special tax for Facilities shall be levied for a period so long as
bonds are outstanding, which shall not exceed 31 years from the date of issuance of the
bonds or such series of bonds; provided that the special tax for Facilities may be levied
until Fiscal Year 2046-47, as further described in Attachment "C" hereto, in order to
collect delinquent special taxes required to pay debt service on bonds, (iii) the special
tax for Services may be levied in perpetuity or for such period as the Services are
needed, as further described in Attachment "C" "hereto, and (iv) under no
circumstances will such special tax be increased with respect to residential property as
a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcel or parcels
within the District by more than ten percent.
The special taxes within the proposed District are based on the expected
demand that each parcel of real property within the proposed District will place on the
Facilities and the Services and on the benefit that each parcel derives from the right to
access the Facilities and from the Services. The City Council hereby determines the
rate and method of apportionment of the special taxes set forth in Attachment "C° to be
reasonable. The special tax within the proposed District is apportioned to each parcel
on the foregoing basis pursuant to Section 53325.3 of the Act, and such special tax is
not based upon the value or ownership of real property. In the event that a portion of
the property within the proposed District shall become for any reason exempt, wholly or
partially, from the levy of the special tax specified on Attachment "C," as the case may
be, the City Council shall, on behalf of Community Facilities District No. 2006-1, cause
the levy to be increased, subject to the limitation of the maximum special tax for a parcel
as set forth in Attachment "C", to the extent necessary upon the remaining property
2
within the proposed District which is not exempt in order to yield the special tax
revenues required for the purposes described in this Section 5. The obligation to pay
the special tax within the proposed District may not be prepaid.
SECTION 6. A public hearing (the "Hearing") on the establishment of the
proposed Community Facilities District No. 2006-1, the proposed rate and method of
apportionment of the special tax, the proposed issuance of bonds to finance the
Facilities and the Facilities Incidental Expenses and the Services and the Services

special election will be held to authorize the issuance of the bonds and the levy of the
special tax in accordance with the procedures contained in Government Code
Section 53326. If held, the proposed voting procedure at the elections will be a
registered voter election with each registered voter within the proposed District having
one vote. Ballots for the special election may be distributed by mail or by personal
service.
SECTION 7. The City Council does not intend to make any adjustment in
property taxation pursuant to Sections 53313.6 and 53313.7 of the Act.

interested person, including all persons owning lands or registered to vote within

from any source, including, but not limited to, private persons or private entities, for any
authorized purpose, including, but riot limited to, paying any cost incurred in creating

asking the City Council to review the cost implications of the agreement at the June 30 Adjourned
Regular City Council meeting and to indicate approval of the renovation and maintenance program for
Lorbeer Middle School as presented.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The costs that will be borne by the City per this agreement are divided into
three categories: 1) Renovation 2) Annual Maintenance 3) On-going maintenance and facility
supervision, as presented below:
Renovation
Renovation of football field, track and slope along Golden Springs in summer of 2007: $750,000
($750,000 is already appropriated in the 06107 FY Budget - Park Dev Fund)
Annual Maintenance
Refurbishing once per year of football field, track & Upper Field (Starts in summer of 2006): $45,000
Note -- $30,000 of the $45,000 cost will not be incurred in 2007 due to renovation work.

Total Cost for 2006107 FY: $879,500
Of the total cost, approximately $129,500 will be an annual recurring cost. However, in the 2007108 FY,
the amount should be $30,000 less due to the renovation work planned for the summer of 2007,
resulting in a cost of $99,500.
BACKGROUND: The City of Diamond Bar constructed lights on the football field at Lorbeer Middle
School to provide an additional lighted athletic field for the youth sports organizations in Diamond Bar.
Since the lights became available for community use in January 2000, the added wear and tear on the
field has resulted in its gradual deterioration. The field's maintenance needs due to the added use
exceeds the capacity of the School District's maintenance program for a typical middle school. The
choices for this field are to either restrict community use or for the City to renovate and maintain the
field. With the limited amount of athletic fields in Diamond Bar, staff believes utilizing City resources to
create a quality field for the youth of Diamond Bar is in the best interest of the community. Staff has
negotiated with Pomona Unified School District officials to develop an agreement to improve and
maintain the football field at Lorbeer. The City Council also asked staff to include improvement and
maintenance of the slope along Golden Springs in the negotiations to beautify this area of the
community. Staff believes that the best available program for improving and maintaining the Lorbeer
facilities has been negotiated, one that meets the needs of the youth sports organizations in Diamond
Bar and also addresses the concerns of PUSD officials related to extensive community use of the
Lorbeer Middle School campus. Final legal wording of the agreement was still being discussed by the
attorneys at the time this report was written.
DISCUSSION: The agreement being negotiated with PUSD officials includes the following
provisions:
Ten year term that may be terminated by either party by giving six months notice.
2. Opportunity for unlimited number of five year extensions.
3. Requires the City to aerate, reseed, fertilize, top dress and complete minor irrigation repairs on
football field and complete minor improvements to the running track, by September 1, 2006. Estimated
cost to complete this work is $30,000.
4. Requires the City to complete work on the upper field to ensure that it is at a level equal to or
better than its condition prior to the start of work itemized in number 3. Work must be completed by
September 21, 2006 and will cost an estimated $15,000.
5. Requires the City to complete major renovations to the football field and slope along Golden
Springs including a new water meter to irrigate the football field and slope, irrigation improvements to the
football field and slope, new sod for the football field and necessary improvements to the track.
Estimated cost to complete this work is $750,000. Work must be completed within a 60 day work
schedule between the end of school in June, 2007 and August 20, 2007.
6. After work itemized in number 5 is completed, City is required to complete work on the upper field
to ensure that its condition is at a level equal to or better than its condition prior to the start of work
itemized in number 5. Work must be completed by September 21, 2007 and will cost an estimated
$15,000.
7. Requires the City to maintain the football field, slope and lighting systems, including irrigation,
mowing, trimming, edging, cleaning, trash removal and changing bulbs and paying for electricity for the
ball field lights. Annual cost for this work is estimated at $45,000 for maintenance and $8,500 for
electrical costs.
8. Provides community use of School District owned restroom facilities. City is required to maintain
these restroom facilities after community use each night. Annual cost is included in total listed in item 7.
9. City is responsible for any damage to Lorbeer campus due to or during community use of football
field.
10. City shall schedule and monitor community use of outdoor facilities at Lorbeer. Monitoring costs
are estimated at $31,000 per year.
11. City has the right to charge and collect fees from community users scheduled at Lorbeer outdoor
facilities. Currently the City does not charge a fee to youth sports organizations utilizing these facilities.
12. Agreement entitles community groups to utilize outdoor athletic facilities at Lorbeer.Middle School
seven (7) day per week, Spm — 10pm on school days and 7am -- 10pm on non -school days.
Staff estimates that the annual recurring cost to the City for this agreement is $129,500. However, in the
2007108 FY, the amount should be $30,000 less due to the renovation work planned for the summer of
2007, resulting in an annual cost of $99,500.
According to PUSD officials, if the City Council approves this agreement on July 18, the School Board
will consider it at their July 25, 2006 meeting.

Libraries and librarians in the future — a short introspective by Paul Kittle
Many pundits and others now ask -- is the library dead? Is it a thing of the
past? Will Google become the next "library." The answers are neither simple
nor complete. A quick answer to all those questions is "yes... and no."
The fundamental roles have not changed: guiding patrons to solutions or paths
to answers, but -- the path has changed dramatically.
When I first became involved with libraries in the "21 st century" it was prior to
what we now consider "the Internet." Even as I was completing my Master's
degree in Library & Information Science at U.S. C. (you DID know it requires a
Master's degree to be a librarian, didn't you?) I began to look at ways to deliver
information and solutions to my prospective audience — the medical field.
During my 20 odd years as a medical center employee and a librarian, I dealt
with administrators who, at first, could not see the value of electronic service,
then could not see that electronic service does NOT replace people or physical
copies of material, or even save money — but rather extends the value of each of
them.
In a community college, where students are now coming from an environment of
iPods and instant gratification, the role of the library becomes even more
critical. It is true that many only want "quick & dirty" searches or skills — and that
does not make such things inheritably bad. If you are looking for a specific news
item in a major newspaper, you don't necessarily wish to read the entire paper
just to find that one article. However, when you are looking for depth of
information, then knowing both what and how to search becomes
paramount. That becomes the difference between an informed public and a
nation of "sheep" who regurgitate right or left wing radiolty personalities instead
of examining the real facts.
This is the role of libraries. When mass computing started on the horizon years
ago, there were unfortunately too few forward-looking library leaders to take
control and guide this new paradigm. Even now, the undisputed leader in the
field, Google, still lacks much to be a quality search engine for quality
results. Many of us are now trying to change that and wrestle control back — for
we are specifically trained to guide the user into the information path.
Information is like food, There are times you want something quick and easy,
and there are times when you need something slower and more complete. Such
is the information -seeking behavior of people. If the library cannot provide this
menu, then companies whose major existence depends upon commercials and
directed (via payment) results will dominate. The "information divide" will grow
and eventually we may see wave after wave of "instant data" without the
knowledge necessary to digest it. Failure to support public libraries, usually the
anchor between school, college, and adult learning, is to fail the public trust and
the future.
