OLD BUSINESS: 9.1 RESOLUTION NO. 96-05 & 96-06: RESOLUTION REAFFIRMING AND SUPPORTING THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR GENERAL PLAN - C/Werner suggested adding dates showing the beginning and ending of the Council's public hearings regarding the General Plan. He also asked that the same wording be inserted in 'Whereas, the City Council conducted 17 public meetings..." C/Harmony stated that he views the initiative General Plan with great concern even though he is dissatisfied with the current Plan that the City is working under. CfWerner advised that the General Plan process took place over a five-year period. He stated that he is not 100% happy with this General Plan either; however, it provides the basic fundamentals. He requested the support of the City Council. C/Werner moved, MPT/Huff seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 96-05 entitled: A RESOLUTION REAFFIRMING AND SUPPORTING THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR GENERAL PLAN and RESOLUTION NO. 96-06, an amended version of the original Resolution. JANUARY 16, 1996 PAGE 5 M/Ansari expressed concerns over map and deed restrictions and any unwise geotechnical development. She requested the residents to stay involved with the General Plan and any changes made in the future to it. She also expressed concern that the initiative current General Plan requires a public vote every time there is a change. MPT/Huff agreed with C/Harmony's comments in that Mr. Maxwell's General Plan version is flawed and that the City needs a balance between country living and economic development. If its the people's choice for country living, then they are telling businesses that they do not want economic growth. He cautioned that taxes may need to be increased if everything can't be kept in balance. C/Herrera supported adoption of the Resolution and felt that people signed the initiative petitions not knowing that this General Plan would be going on the ballot but rather that this petition would save Tonner Canyon. She agreed with MPT/Huff that there needs to be an equal balance in order to bring in revenue to replace what the City will be missing. On Resolution No. 96-05, the original Resolution, motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Herrera, Werner, MPT/Huff, M/Ansari NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None ABSTAIN: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Harmony C/Werner moved, seconded by MPT/Huff to adopt Resolution No. 96- 06 and add the following wording to title of the Resolution: "...And Urging A Vote Against the Initiative Measure D." With the following Roll Call vote, motion carried: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Herrera, Werner, MPT/Huff NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Harmony, M/Ansari ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None 9.2 ORDINANCE NO. 01(1996): AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR DECLARING A NEED FOR A REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY TO FUNCTION IN THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR - CM/Belanger reported that redevelopment is a strategy recommended in each version of the General Plan as a tool for the community to enhance the economic and physical environment through the redevelopment process. He recommended that Council establish a redevelopment agency for the purpose of providing a legal JANUARY 16, 1996 PAGE 6 entity with which the City can enter into an agreement for funding necessary studies to determine the feasibility of redevelopment. He advised that the second reading of this Ordinance would occur on February 6, 1996 and then the redevelopment agency would become effective 30 days thereafter. M/Ansari asked if the agency can be terminated at any time. Further, if the study is performed with City funds without establishing a redevelopment agency and then an agency is wanted, can the City recoup the funds for the study. CM/Belanger advised that the agency can be terminated at any time and the agency would not continue with its efforts. At this point and time, no one is in a position to say with any certainty that redevelopment is feasible. He confirmed that the City could not recoup any funds if the study was performed without a redevelopment agency. In response to C/Herrera, CM/Belanger explained that the first reading of the Ordinance would be tonight, second reading would be February 6, 1996 and the Ordinance would be in effect 30 days — thereafter. Further, staff will solicit RFP's which will determine the time frame in which the study will be performed and completed. C/Harmony asked if this request for establishment of a redevelopment agency was requested by the City Manager or if it was a continuation of C/Werner's request. CM/Belanger advised that members of the Council have indicated an interest as recommended by staff. C/Harmony stated that the City initiated a preliminary study for a redevelopment agency when it was first founded and paid for it out of City revenues. He asked for the results of that study. CM/Belanger advised that the study proceeded to a formative stage at which time the Council terminated the relationship with the consultant and did not proceed any further. He stated that staff really did not proceed to a conclusion in terms of redevelopment. With regard to increments and devaluation of property, he explained that the establishment of an agency does not establish base line in terms of tolling the property tax in relationship to other taxing agencies and -- would not occur until Council decides through a very complex process to establish project areas. Only after project areas are established does the implementation process to create begin. Whatever the property tax is at that point in time is the base line. Any value created JANUARY 16, 1996 PAGE 7 on the property thereafter is tax increment. M/Ansari stated that she is in favor of establishing a redevelopment agency because of a pro -active role the City will be taking in development. C/Werner clarified that this recommendation was continued from last year and held over until the new Council were advised of this matter. He asked that Council support the concept because the City is in need of increasing revenues and attracting a more economic development. In response to C/Harmony, CM/Belanger advised that there is no estimate on the cost of a study at this time; however, staff s recommendation is to solicit proposals. $100,000 has been budgeted in the past for economic development. C/Harmony stated that the last redevelopment study cost approximately $20,000 for a two-week process. He stated that he is against using redevelopment funds for development of Tonner Canyon's highway and Sandstone Canyon or any other development that would not pertain to the City. M/Ansari agreed with C/Harmony's concerns. MPT/Huff stated that he would not like to see the City displace faithful merchants and suggested that the report focus on the Grand/Golden Springs commercial area. C/Werner reported that he did not recommend the use of any particular funds for development of any highways. C/Herrera moved, seconded by C/Werner to approve First Reading by title only of Ordinance No. 01(1996): AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR DECLARING A NEED FOR A REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY TO FUNCTION IN THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR. With the following Roll Call vote, motion carried: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Herrera, Werner, MPT/Huff, M/Ansari NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Harmony ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None 9.3 REORGANIZATION OF CITY COUNCIL AGENDA - M/Ansari reported that a survey was completed of neighboring cities regarding JANUARY 16, 1996 PAGE 8 their agenda formatloutlines. She expressed concern that some Council members were speaking too long and she felt that the Council Comments should be limited to five minutes. MPT/Huff requested that Council Comments be placed at the end of the Agenda and limited to five minutes; suggested placing a "Greeter" outside of the auditorium to greet newcomers and give them the procedures of the meeting, and throughout the community have specific areas where the public can make their comments and/or recommendations to Council without having to be at the meeting. He further suggested reinstating the invocation after the Pledge of Allegiance. C/Werner agreed with MPT/Huffs recommendations but did not support reinstatement of the invocation. He suggested that if Council Comments are placed at the end of the agenda, then Public Comments should also be placed at the end. Rather than changing the agenda, he suggested that the Mayor use her authority to exercise discretion in limiting or grouping the Public Comment as well as give her the authority to suspend Public Comment to the end of the agenda there is a lot of business that needs to be addressed. C/Herrera recommended the following changes: Council Comments be placed at the end of the agenda and limited to five minutes, allow a maximum of 1/2 hour on Public Comments, and provide supporting documents for upcoming agendas to the Council two weeks prior to that meeting. C/Harmony stated that Public and Council Comments are the most important events during Council meetings. He did not support any change to the agenda; however, he would support limiting Council Comments to five minutes as well as reinstatement of the invocation. He supported the idea of a "Greeter" at the entrance of the auditorium with two or three complete agenda packets with all supporting documents available for public inspection. M/Ansari supported the flexibility of being able to move the agenda around and indicated that she is fine either way if Council wanted to reinstate the invocation. C/Herrera asked if approval of the agenda would be appropriate in order to provide the Council with more flexibility in taking items that are needed on a rush basis. CM/Belanger advised that approval of the agenda is not a required policy and the agenda is taken as the agenda is proposed. JANUARY 16, 1996 PAGE 9 Max Maxwell, 3211 Bent Twig Ln., supported Council's ideas and suggested that the Agenda start Public Comments at 9:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and/or at the end of the agenda. Tom Van Winkle expressed frustration that the public does not get feedback from Council when the public speaks and persons often have to wait two weeks before having a chance to rebut Council Comments. He suggested that the council make their comments in the beginning of each agenda item so that the public knows the Council's point of view for the publics' comments. With regard to Mr. Van Winkle's comments, Steve Nice, Rising Star Dr., agreed with the frustration of not knowing the direction Council is headed in. He suggested that not so many items be placed on the agenda and to leave Public Comments at the front of the agenda. MPT/Huff read a letter from Wanda Tanaka dated December 6, 1996 which suggested that Public Comments and Council Comments be placed at the end of the meeting. With regard to C/Harmony's suggestions, he supported having two -three full sets of the agenda — with backup data available for the public. C/Harmony suggested that during Public Comments, if any of the public has questions, staff should respond at that time. With regard to Mr. Nice's comments, C/Herrera agreed that the agenda needs to pace the meeting in a better way and asked Council if they wanted to consider limiting the time for any particular agenda topic. C/Werner suggested that M/Ansari discuss all of the above suggestions with the City Manager and staff and come back and present a proposal to Council. With consensus of Council, M/Ansari stated that she would take all comments under consideration and discuss the matter with the City Manager and staff for preparation of a proposal. 10. NEW BUSINESS: 10.1 ORDINANCE NO. 02(1996) - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR REPEALING ORDINANCE 02(1990) AND ORDINANCE 02A (1990) AS HERETOFORE ADOPTED AND REVISING CHAPTER 8.16, TITLE 8 OF THE DIAMOND BAR MUNICIPAL CODE ADOPTING REQUIREMENTS AND STANDARDS RELATING TO THE JANUARY 16, 1996 PAGE 10 COLLECTION, RECYCLING, TRANSPORTATION, AND DISPOSAL OF SOLID WASTE, RECYCLABLE AND COMPOSTABLE MATERIALS - Ass't. to CWButzlaff reported that in 1990, Council adopted an Ordinance creating standards and regulations for solid waste collection and disposal. He stated that staffs current commendation included changes to the Ordinance such as extending the time period by which recyclable materials can be stored from one to two weeks, eliminating the requirement for fingerprinting of permitted employees, eliminating the requirement for a revokable cash deposit of $20,000 and modifying the requirements of certain "no charge" collection services currently provided by the permitted haulers. In response to C/Harmony, Ass't probably make the competition restrictions are being lifted. to CM/Butzlaff stated that it will greater because some of the Tom Van Winkle asked if there had been any discussion on getting the current two trash haulers to pick up on the same day in any given neighborhood. Ass't. to CM/Butzlaff explained that this became an issue a year ago when Western Waste Industries decided to change their collection schedule from one day a week to five. Staff met with Western Waste on numerous occasions to discuss changing back to one day a week; however, Western continued with a five day collection schedule. The Council has the authority, under Section 8.16.050, to regulate by Resolution the days of the week and the hours of collection of the permittee. WAnsari announced that since she and MPT/Huff were on the MRF sub -committee, they will work with staff and the waste haulers to change the day for trash collection. C/Werner moved, seconded by C/Herrera to waive full reading and approve first reading of ORDINANCE NO. 02(1996) entitled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR REPEALING ORDINANCE 02(1990) AND ORDINANCE 02A (1990) AS HERETOFORE ADOPTED AND REVISING CHAPTER 8.16, TITLE 8 OF THE DIAMOND BAR MUNICIPAL CODE ADOPTING REQUIREMENTS AND STANDARDS RELATING TO THE COLLECTION, RECYCLING, TRANSPORTATION, AND DISPOSAL OF SOLID WASTE, RECYCLABLE AND COMPOSTABLE MATERIALS. With the following Roll Call vote, motion carried: JANUARY 16, 1996 PAGE 11 AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - Harmony, Herrera, Werner, MPT/Huff, M/Ansari NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS - None 10.2 CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION -LIMITATION - CM/Belanger reported that study of this matter was requested by members of the Council. In response to C/Werner, CM/Belanger clarified that the restriction would limit donations to $500 per individual. In response to C/Harmony's question regarding Prop. 73 regarding mass mailings, CA/Jenkins advised that there are prohibitions and regulations and State laws in regard to what types of mass mailings may go out to more than 200 persons at public expense and under what circumstances council members names and pictures may or may not appear in those mass mailings. With respect to campaign contributions, Prop. 73 was stricken by the courts and is not in effect. Constitutional rules regarding campaign contribution limits are as follows: 1) it is constitutional and lawful for a local agency in California to impose limits on contributions to campaigns by individuals, by pats, to candidates, or to independent organizations; 2) it is unconstitutional to control total overall expenditures by candidates running for office. In response to C/Harmony, CA/Jenkins advised that he will have to report back on the rationale of the Federal Courts that struck most of the provisions regarding campaign contributions. C/Harmony asked how photocopying, mailings, etc. is regulated in dollar amounts. CA/Jenkins stated that if the contribution consists of producing, printing, mailing a campaign piece, that is a non -monetary type of contribution which would be subject to regulation and reportable. CM/Belanger explained that statutes currently in place and enforced by the Fair Political Practices Commission is the law which the City of D.B. follows. A complaint would have to be made to either the FPPC or District Attorney. If Council chooses to set up a local law for campaign contribution regulations, then the responsibility for any laws — broken would be handled locally. This local law will only apply to municipal campaigns. MPT/Huff felt that the Ordinance should remain simple but that limits should be placed on how much comes into a campaign. He I JANUARY 16, 1996 PAGE 12 volunteered to be on the subcommittee for this issue. Steve Nice, Rising Star Dr., felt that, when there is an election, everyone should be on a level playing field. He also volunteered as a participant on the subcommittee. C/Werner stated that staff does not need to get anymore involved with this issue. There are regulations under the Government Code and the City should stay out of enforcing campaign limits. MPT/Huff asked C/Werner if he would be opposed to restricting an elected official from voting for two years on a project proposed by an individual who donated $2,000 or more to that official's campaign. C/Werner stated that he has no problem with that issue; however, time limits should be discussed. CA/Jenkins reported that, State law, the receipt of a political contribution in whatever amount does not create a conflict of interest. In response to C/Werner regarding enforcement, CA/Jenkins advised that if it's a criminal act, then it would be enforced by the District Attorney or a designated City Prosecutor. If the City has an ordinance regulating any aspect of campaign limits/contribution limits, it is the City's responsibility to enforce, prosecute and advise the City Attorney. M/Ansari stated that this issue comes up every election and an ad hoc committee is needed for public comments. CA/Jenkins reviewed the District Attorney's duties in prosecuting candidates that have broken the law and he advised that it should never be up to the Council to take this type of matter into closed session and choose to prosecute someone for breaking campaign laws. As a result of CA/Jenkins' comments, MPT/Huff agreed with C/Werner to remain with current laws for campaign contribution limitations. He requested that his name be withdrawn from the ad-hoc committee. With consensus of Council, this matter was tabled until the next — election. 10.3 DISCUSSION RE: APPOINTMENT OF EX -OFFICIO YOUTH MEMBERS ON TRAFFIC & TRANSPORTATION, PARKS & JANUARY 16, 1996 PAGE 13 RECREATION AND PLANNING COMMISSIONS FROM THE POMONA AND WALNUT VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICTS - CM/Belanger advised that this matter was requested by Council for discussion and determining the membership of the Council's various commissions. M/Ansari stated that, in speaking with other cities, she learned that they had youth members on some commissions which brought a different perspective to the committees and a different public viewpoint. MPT/Huff asked how would these persons be chosen and what age. He suggested that the Commissions' input is needed before any decisions are made. He stated that he is in favor of incorporating our youth into our local government. C/Harmony commented that he is not opposed to paying a small stipend. Mike Goldenberg, Parks & Recreation Commission, stated that none of the commissioners that he is currently working with has any problems with getting ideas from the youth or anyone; however, he felt that if room were provided for youth, then other groups within the City would expect the same. C/Wemer complimented WAnsari for the idea of providing local youth with more city government involvement but agreed that Commission input should be obtained prior to the Council's decision. In addition, he suggested, as an alternative, a career day for youth. With consensus of Council, this matter was referred to the Commissions. 11. ANNOUNCEMENTS: In regard to the Christmas tree pick up program, M/Ansari announced that staff contacted both permitted waste companies to discuss their current operations for collection. Each company indicated that they normally send a separate vehicle to collect trees; however, they may occasionally come upon a tree that is contaminated with flocking, stands, etc. and cannot be used by the landfill operator; therefore, a regular waste hauler may pick it up. 12. ADJOURNMENT: With no further business to discuss, M/Ansari adjourned the meeting at 9:46 p.m. in memory of Harry Goldenberg. JANUARY 16, 1996 PAGE 14 ATTEST: Mayor LY D{: EURGESS, City Clerk
