COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR APPROVING AND
ADOPTING A BUDGET FOR THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR. FOR
THE FISCAL YEAR COMMENCING JULY 1, 1996 AND ENDING

response to C/Herrera, CM/Belanger explained that $49,300 (a 3.5%
increase) is the total cost for City employee salaries, costs and
cafeteria benefits.
In response to MPT/Huff, CM/Belanger repprted that the 3.5%
increase applies to approximately $1.3 million in salaries from the
General Fund.
C/Wemer asked for an explanation of the proposed Free Trade Zone
Study.
CM/Belanger responded that the City is part of a feasibility study
being conducted in conjunction with several other cities in the San
Gabriel Valley to determine the feasibility of annexing to an existing
Free Trade Zone. Inclusion in the Free Trade Zone provides benefits
to cities with respect to excise, tariff and other fees. If the feasibility
study determines that D.B. would benefit, $5,000 would be allocated
toward preparing the application to become a part of the Zone.
M/Ansari declared the Public Hearing open.
JUNE 18, 1996 PAGE 8
Barbara Beach-Courchesne expressed concern about the 1996-1997
Fiscal Year allocation of funds for formulation of a Development
Code. She further stated that although she was not opposed to City
employee salary increases, she was concerned about preserving the
budget.
CM/Belanger stated that under the City's modified accrual system,
unexpended Development Code funds will be transferred from the
prior to the new fiscal year budget. In order to compensate for the
City's projected revenue shortfall based upon the per capita
adjustment, the City is engaged in activities which encourage
investment through creation, purchase, or occupancy of existing
commercial spaces. With respect to expenditures, the City is
conducting an internal study to evaluate whether services may be
provided in a more effective manner. In consideration of the
projected shortfall, savings policies will be adopted during this fiscal
year to prepare for the 1997-1998 fiscal year and beyond. The 1996-
1997 budget proposal recommends reorganization, re-evaluation of
provided services and re-evaluation of the method of providing
services. Staff is recommending that under no circumstances will the
City use savings to fund current year operations. _
Oscar Law stated that, as a senior citizen and not as a Parks and
Recreation Commissioner, he proposed development of a Senior
Citizen Center. He further stated that Lot D is an unacceptable
location and that the Center should be centrally located within the
City. He suggested that properties north of City Hall or Goldrush Dr.
at Diamond Bar Blvd. would be more ideal locations. He proposed a
Senior Citizen Center Workshop or Town Hall Meeting.
Dr. Lawrence Rhodes stated that he did not object to salary
increases.; however, he objected to across-the-board increases and
would prefer the City consider merit increases.
There being no further testimony offered, M/Ansari closed the public
hearing.
CM/Belanger explained that certain positions within the City had been
reclassified. Additionally, proposed reorganization classifications and
compensation plans will be presented to Council in the first quarter
of 1997.
MPT/Huff responded to Dr. Rhodes that he has requested CPI figures
in order to reach a decision regarding the proposed 3.5% cost of
living increase.
JUNE 18, 1996 PAGE 9
CM/Belanger responded to C/Wemer that $50,000 is included for a
Parks and facilities Master Plan in the proposed budget.
W/Ansari requested that a staff member be present at Heritage Park
for daytime functions and to accompany citizens on excursions.
C/Herrera favored proceeding with the first discussion of a proposed
Senior Citizen Center at the July 2, 1996 meeting in order to move
the process forward. Further discussion sessions can be schedule
at that time, if necessary.
In response to MPT/Huff, CM/Belanger stated that the budget is a
document of po!icy set forth by Council. An adopted tenet of the
policy is that Council intends to make changes during the applicable
fiscal year in order to.compensate for the shortfall which will occur in
the next fiscal year.
CM/Belanger responded to C/Harmony that law enforcement
expenditures are decreasing due to price changes within the Sheriffs
Department. This does not result in a reduction of service.
C/Herrera pointed out that she is comfortable with the projected
budget reserve because it is double the County percentage standards
for school districts.
MPT/Huff moved, C/Herrera seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 96-45
approving and adopting a budget for the City for Fiscal Year
commencing July 1, 1996 and ending June 30, 1997, including
Maintenance and Operations, Special Funds and Capital
Improvements and Appropriating Funds for Accounts, Departments,
Divisions, Objects and Purposes therein set forth. With the following

7.1 SISTER CITY PROTOCOL AGREEMENT - MPT/Huff stated the
subcommittee had not reached a decision regarding the proposed
JUNE 18, 1996 PAGE 11
Protocol Agreements; however, he recommended adoption of the
original "friendly" Protocol Agreement submitted by the Sister City
Committee.
C/Werner recommended incorporating the Sister City organization's
indemnification to the City in the original Protocol Agreement. He
requested the matte_ r be held over for further discussion of the three
proposed Protocol Agreements.
M/Ansari expressed concern that there had not been sufficient time
to digest the proposed protocols, that the membership issue has not
been addressed and that there is no viable support organization in
place to support the Sister City organization.
Richard Callard, D.B. Sister City, stated documentation provided by
the offices of the State Attorney General, the Internal Revenue
Service and the State Franchise Tax Board supported the mandate
of the Sister City organization's non-profit status for educational and
cultural exchange purposes only. The Protocol Agreement originally
presented by the organization represents this mandate. The
organization seeks to retain its non-profit status.
ACA/Susskind stated there was no legal requirement that the D.B.
Sister City and the City enter into a contract. However, the option of
entering into an agreement raises the question of potential risks to
the City. Once a City enters into a contractual agreement, it is
important that the agreement include expressed agreements for each
of the contractual parties.
Mr. Callard introduced the following Sister City Committee, Inc.
members: David Lu, Past President, D.B. Chinese Assn.; Ellen Ku,
current President, D.B. Chinese Assn.; John Jung, President -Elect,
D.B. Chinese Assn., and Diane Jung, Charter Member, D.B. Chinese
Assn.
C/Herrera recommended that the Sister City Protocol Agreement be
returned to the current subcommittee for further discussion with Mr.
Callard. Without objection, Council concurred.
8. 1 NEW BUSINESS:
8.1 RESOLUTION NO. 9648: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR .DECLARING ITS INTENT TO
SELL REAL PROPERTY AND FIXING A TIME AND PLACE FOR A
HEARING OF OBJECTIONS THEREON - CM/Belanger stated that
JUNE 18, 1996 PAGE 12
the proposed hearing is scheduled for July 2, 1996 at 7:00 p.m. He
explained that the City entered into a lease/purchase agreement with
the Walnut Valley Water District in 1992 to purchase, over a four-year
period of time, the property referred to as the "Water District Site" on
Brea Canyon Rd: on the property line between the Walnut Valley
Unified School District land holdings and Arciero land holdings. In
1989, Mr. Arciero filed an application with the City for a Tentative Map
which was ultimately included as a part of the "South Point Master
Plan" and involved five different property owners and about 130
acres. The Master Plan was not approved and Mr. Arciero continued
with his application for approval of a Tentative Map which proceeded
to the approval of Tentative Map No. 32400 in 1994. A condition of
approval of Tentative Map No. 32400 was that the City and Mr.
Arciero enter into an agreement to exchange property (acreage for
acreage) or, failing an agreement, the property would be purchased
by Mr. Arciero. The Tentative Map No. 32400 included Lots 92 and
93 (approximately six acres) which is the amount of acreage the City
currently holds. The City was proceeding with the land swap when
Mr. Arciero made an offer to purchase the property. If the City is
interested in accepting Mr. Arciero's offer, it must enter into the _
process which includes putting the property out to bid to other public
agencies on a first right -of -refusal basis. This is the step in the
process wherein Council calls a public hearing to consider a
declaration of the property availability and determining whether the
City wishes to proceed with the sale.
In response to M/Ansari, CM/Belanger explained that approximately
600 surrounding properties will receive notice of the public hearing.
Barbara Beach-Courchesne voiced her opposition to the City
disposing of the property for purposes of development.
George Barrett agreed with Ms. Beach-Courchesne. He requested
the Council seriously consider developing a public park on the
parcels.
Terry Birrell concurred with Mr. Barrett and Ms. Beach-Courchesne.
Rial Flesher, 20647 Larkstone Dr., stated he would like to see the
Arciero development completed, the roads and streets finished and
the traffic issues mitigated in his neighborhood.
C/Werner moved, C/Herrera seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 96-
48: a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar
declaring its intent to sell real property and fixing a time and place for
a hearing of objections thereon.
