APPROVAL OF AGENDA: As Presented.
SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS, CERTIFICATES, PROCLAMATIONS:
1.1 M/Tye proclaimed July 2011 as Parks and Recreation Month and
presented the Proclamation to Parks and Recreation Commission
Chairman Dave Roberto.
2. CITY MANAGER REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
In response to a request by C/Tanaka, CM/DeStefano updated the City
Council on the Washington Street Mini -Park project. He stated that staff
has been working on this project for the past couple of years and that at
this time bids will be available the beginning of next week with the bid
opening in early August. It is expected that the award of contract is
anticipated to be brought to Council for approval the middle of August.
Following that, construction is anticipated to take four months with
completion around the second week of January 2012.
CM/DeStefano then reported that he had received confirmation from Los
Angeles County CEO Fujioka that the Los Angeles County Board of
Supervisors with the support of Sheriff Baca and encouragement by
California Contract Cities Association have declared that the annual
contribution of about $208,000 that the City is obligated to pay was waived
for the 2011/12 Fiscal Year. He thanked Sam Olivito, Executive Director
for Contract Cities for working hard on behalf of cities like D.B. and to the
County CEO, Sheriff Baca and the LA County Board of Supervisors.
Diamond Bar needs this money in its budget and is very grateful for the
consideration.
3. PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Allen Wilson asked for clarification as to whether or not the City Attorney
might have a conflict of interest in reference to Consent Calendar Item 6.7
since he represents both cities? Mr. Wilson then referred to a newspaper
article in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune regarding a settlement had been
reached between the Council of Governments and their Executive
Director and stated that he was concerned about the City's membership in
this organization.
4. RESPONSE TO PUBLIC COMMENTS:
CM/DeStefano responding to Mr. Wilson with respect to the sale of
Proposition A Funds to the City of West Hollywood that the City Attorney
had nothing to do with the negotiations that took place and asked —
PWD/Liu to elaborate on the process.
JULY 5, 2011 PAGE 3 CITY COUNCIL
PWD/Liu explained that the City had in the past negotiated with other
cities for sale of Prop A funds and that staff had contacted some of the
agencies previously contacted as well as other cities that had gone
through similar processes such as the Commerce, Lakewood, Bellflower
and Industry. Ultimately, staff contacted the staff at Metro who directed
D.B. to West Hollywood because they were looking at transit projects for
which they desperately needed Prop A Funds. In this case, D.B. was
successful in working with West Hollywood which is on the Council
agenda this evening.
CM/DeStefano stated that about every two or three years when D.B. has
excess Prop A funds that staff has determined the City will not be able to
use in the restrictive manner allowed, the City goes out to market to
determine whether it can receive unrestrictive funds for other City
purposes.
With respect to the San Gabriel Valley COG, and the settlement issue
back in 2008, C/Herrera has been the City's leading voice on COG for
many years. The Executive Board made the settlement with Mr. Conway
which is within their scope of powers and authority and was not voted on
by the entire Board. For details, one would need to seek answers from
the San Gabriel Valley Council of Government. D.B. is a contributing
member along with about 30 other cities and resources that would have
been used for this purpose as he understands the matter, came from the
COG's reserves. D.B. is not privy to the discussions that occurred in
2008.
M/Tye reiterated that the City Council initiated the Proposition A sales of
funds. The City must use those funds within three years or return them so
it is a "use it or lose it" proposition. The City does a very good job of
making sure it utilizes those funds in the best way possible.

7. PUBLIC HEARINGS: None
8. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
8.1 APPROVAL OF MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING, LEASE
AGREEMENT AND LANDLORD'S WORK LETTER, BETWEEN
THE CITY AND THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES PUBLIC
LIBRARY FOR CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF THE
NEW DIAMOND BAR LIBRARY AT 21810 COPLEY DRIVE.
ACM/Doyle reported that this item is about the operations, of the
new Diamond Bar Library. The three documents before the City
Council tonight include a Memorandum of Understanding, Lease
Agreement and Landlord's Work Letter. These documents
represent the culmination of a series of negotiations. The
Memorandum of Understanding deals specifically with Library
services and the use of the funds that are generated by D.B.
residents. Currently, D.B. residents provide approximately $1.5
million of their property taxes to library services. The current library
operates within that amount of money. The MOU allows for
property taxes, as they rise, to remain in the City to be used for
library services in D.B. If there are surplus funds above and
beyond what the library costs to operate, those funds are called
"set aside" funds and governed by this MOU are then available to
be spent for the Diamond Bar Library. The MOU specifies that on
an annual basis the City and the Library staff will meet with the
County Librarian to discuss the library services at the building. The
Library staff requested that the City Council on an annual basis
pass a resolution that dictates the services it would like to have in
the Library and the City has made a partnership commitment to
work with the Library staff to make those meetings happen and to
make that resolution available to them so that all participants are on
the same page relative to Library services.
ACM/Doyle stated that the Lease Agreement is the tenantllandlord
relationship between the City and the County relative to the
operation of the new building. The City will construct the facility
and then lease it to the County on a 40 -year lease for an annual
lease payment of $1 per year. The City will contribute the cost of
janitorial service as well as maintenance to the grounds and
buildings of the Library space. The Library is contributing about
$100,000 to increase its budget to help offset the cost of operating
a larger library than what currently exists. The current library
consists of about 9,000 square feet and will move to what is a
dedicated library space of about 18,000 square feet. With the joint
use space available and the availability of other facilities in the new
space the Library will have a combined space of about 24,000
JULY 5, 2011 PAGE 6 CITY COUNCIL
square feet of combined library and public space for their use.
ACM/Doyle reported that the final item presented this evening is the
Landlord Work Letter that governs the construction and repayment
to the City for construction of the new Library. The County and the
City have worked in partnership to develop the plans and
specifications for the new building and the County and the City
have worked jointly in concert to select a contractor which is
tonight's agenda for the award of construction.
ACM/Doyle stated that these three documents are the pre-curser to
being able to award the construction contract and allows for a
contractual relationship between the City and County for library
services, for the construction and repayment of the library
construction funds as well as, the ongoing lease and operations of
that facility. The County Library staff is present this evening and
the documents under consideration this evening were approved by
the County Board of Supervisors earlier today.
Margaret Todd, County Librarian complimented staff on the
professional and business -like manner in which negotiations were
conducted. ACM/Doyle and Chief Deputy Fred Hungerford have
spent many hours on the telephone and in person to make sure
that this deadline was met.
C/Herrera moved, MPT/Chang seconded, to move approval of Item
8.1.
C/Tanaka said he favors a larger expanded library with improved
services but not under the proposed lease agreement and use of
the first floor of the new building. The City purchased a 57,000
square foot two-story building and did not pian for a Council
Chambers with the new City Hall. He stated that he has personally
surveyed over 25 cities in the immediate area of D.B., and every
city that has a city hall also has council chambers. Diamond Bar
will rent the AQMD auditorium starting at $2,000 per month for
Council and other Commission meetings. He feels that there is
adequate meeting space on the first floor that could be used for
several purposes including City Council meetings, library uses and
other community meetings. Large agenda items could be
scheduled in the AQMD auditorium. Charging the County $1 per
year and because they were in negotiations that amount was not
able to be discussed before tonight. He feels that this is lost
revenue to the City and that if leased at market rates, funds
generated could refund $10 million back to the General Fund --
Reserves which could be used for providing services and programs
for all D.B. residents. Therefore, he is unable to support the lease
JULY 5, 2011 PAGE 7 CITY COUNCIL
portion.
MPT/Chang said that before she decided to approve anything
having to do with the building and the library she calculated the cost
of renting the AQMD facility versus building a Council Chambers at
the new location. Ultimately, the City would be saving a lot of
money for the residents and for the City by leasing the AQMD and
therefore she is very comfortable with the lease agreement which
she believes is a win-win. This community has been asking for a
library for a very long time. The City was able to purchase the new
building for such an excellent price housing two different public
agencies within one building is a phenomenal opportunity for D.B.
C/Herrera acknowledged that D.B. residents have said time and
again over the last several years that they want a larger library.
There was a measure on the ballot to build a brand new library next
to the Diamond Bar Center and 71 percent of the voters said they
did not want to have themselves taxed to build a new library. They
wanted a new library and wanted the City to figure out some other
way to provide that facility. She thinks that by buying this building
(21810 Copley Drive) which has 56,000 square feet, accomplishes
that directive. It also provides an excellent deal for the County
Library and provides the residents with a much larger space as well
as an additional 170 parking spaces. In addition, the building is
serviced by public transit. She believes that D.B. residents want
the City Council to be conservative with government expenditures,
by consolidating when and where it can. By the City continuing to
use the current AQMD government building and not duplicating the
construction in the new City Hall seems to her to better serve the
public and avoids duplicative costs. In the current City Hall offices
staff was being squeezed and needed more space and as a result,
the City needed to expand the amount of space it rented from
AQMD. By buying its own building the City is saving significant
rental costs, $400,000 annually, which is ultimately taxpayer
money. This proposal is very cost-effective, the City is providing
space for the County Library and believes the City Council is
making the most prudent decision for the residents of D.B.
M/Tye said he agreed with C/Herrera and was disappointed in
C/Tanaka's position on this matter. The City has the use of the
AQMD space and needs to make the very best use of the space
available especially to make the very best use of the resources it
has available. Whether it is Parks and Recreation partnering with
the Pomona School District for fields and partnering with the Walnut
Valley Unified School District for fields and classrooms and
facilities, it is making the best use of the resources the City has
available. Providing the opportunity for the library to take 18,000
JULY 5, 2011 PAGE 8 CITY COUNCIL
square feet of new and improved space and the additional parking,
is just an outstanding opportunity to provide the community with the
state-of-the-art library this community deserves.
Motion carried 3-1-1 by the following Roll Call vote:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Herrera, MPT/Chang,
M/Tye
NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Tanaka

8.2 AWARD OF CONTRACT TO WOODCLIFF CORPORATION IN
THE AMOUNT OF $5,032,000 FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A CITY
HALL AND LIBRARY AT 21810 COPLEY DRIVE; AUTHORIZE AN
ADDITIONAL $152,000 FOR OTHER CONSTRUCTION WORK
AND CONTINGENCY AMOUNT OF $884,616 (17.5%) FOR A
TOTAL AUTHORIZATION OF $6,068,616.
ACM/Doyle acknowledged County Librarian Todd's earlier
comments and stated that staff worked at breakneck speed to get
those items accomplished much quicker than the County is used to
working and only at the direction and leadership of the County
Librarian and her direction to her staff. If not for her, these
documents could not have been completed in such a timely
manner.
ACM/Doyle reported that Item 8.2 is the beginning of a new
Diamond Bar City Hall with the award of contract to Woodcliff
Corporation in the amount of $5,032,000 for construction of a City
Hall and Library at 21810 Copley Drive. As part of this agenda item
staff is asking Council to authorize an additional $152,000 for other
types of construction work that staff believes will be needed as well
as, a contingency amount of $17.5% or $884,616 for a total
authorization of $6,068,616. The City Council authorized staff to
proceed with plans and specifications when it hired LPA as the
architect some months ago. Since that time, staff has been
working very closely with County Library staff and City staff to
design plans and specifications for both the library and the new City
Hall building. These plans and specifications were advertised
beginning on June 2 for solicitation of bids. The City received 11
bids from a low bid of $4.97 million from Woodcliff Corporation
(staff's recommended contractor) to a high of $7.1 million. As part
of the process, the City asked for a number of alternatives to be
identified and priced as part of the bid submittal. The City is picking
two additional items as alternate 1 and 3 for painting and other
interior work and the library is picking up two alternatives as part of
their base bid. Staff is asking that the low bid amount of $4.97
JULY 5, 2011 PAGE 9 CITY COUNCIL
million be increased by $62,000 for the contract amount earlier
mentioned.
ACM/Doyle stated that staff conducted a due diligence review on
Woodcliff Corporation. Woodcliff met all City specifications and
qualifications for the contractor during the bidding period. In
addition, staff contacted references. Woodcliff most recently
completed a library for the County of Los Angeles, the Lawndale
Public Library, completed the City of Orange main library in Orange
County and is currently working on a project at UCLA. Reference
checks have produced high marks for the contractor. Staff met with
the contractor to discuss some of the contract items and staff feels
very good about bringing this matter to the City Council tonight for
approval. If approved by the Council, construction of City Hall and
the Library will commence shortly with the City's goal for the City
Hall project to be completed around the end of 2011 calendar year.
The library will take about an additional six months for construction
and move -in period for an opening in about a year. As part of the
package that was not included in the original documents staff is
asking that the Council also approve a resolution (Resolution No.
2011-34) to approve the design plans and specifications for the
construction of Diamond Bar City Hall for the City of Diamond Bar
and Los Angeles County Library pursuant to Government Code
§830.6 and establishing a project payment account for the
authorization to pay the contractor.
ACM/Doyle reiterated that the City has agreed to front the cost of
the library and the library has agreed to repay the City within 30 -
days of invoice for each of the progress payments as the project
moves forward.
MPT/Chang moved, C/Herrera seconded, to award a contract to
Woodcliff Corporation for a total authorization of $6,068,616 and
adopt Resolution No 2011-34. Motion carried by the following Roll

9. COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS/COUNCIL MEMBER
COMMENTS:
C/Tanaka said that as a member of the LA County Junior Fair
Board Advisory Committee he had an opportunity to participate in
the scholarship awards and attended the D.B. Senior Baseball
JULY 5, 2011 PAGE 10 CITY COUNCIL
team's last home game played at Peterson Park. He congratulated
ReMax top producers on their new offices in North D.B. and stated ---
that he was sorry to see Jody's Hallmark leave D.B. He reported
that yesterday's 4th of July Blast was wonderful and thanked
CSD/Rose and staff for providing such an outstanding event. He
also thanked the D.B. Leos and DB4-Youth groups that volunteered
during the event and reminded everyone to participate in the first
Concert in the Park and Movies under the Stars tomorrow, July 6 at
Sycamore Canyon Park.
C/Herrera thanked all staff members who worked so hard to put on
a special 4th of July Blast which was enjoyed by the biggest crowd
she has ever seen. She stated that many cities have had to make
cutbacks in their programs and she is proud to be part of D.B.
which continues to offer this event to its residents. As a result,
many who attended last night's event were from other cities such
as Placentia, LaHabra, Chino, Chino Hills, Rowland Heights and
Walnut. Many people spoke to her after the event and expressed
their appreciation for the City's offering to its residents. C/Herrera
went on to say that one of the reasons D.B. is such a great place is
because of its schools and the two outstanding school districts it
makes the values of the homes even higher. She congratulated
DBHS for recently being recognized by Newsweek as ranking
second in the County and seventh in the State as being the most
excellent toward college preparation for its students. In these days
of declining resources it is amazing that DBHS and DRHS students
continue to achieve so magnificently. C/Herrera then went on to
report on the recent articles regarding the San Gabriel Valley
Council of Governments. Some decisions are being made by the
officers on the Executive Board that she does not agree with and is
sorry to see such deterioration. In 2008 she was not the Governing
Board representative. If she had been she would have voted "No"
on the question of giving the Executive Director the settlement that
he received. Much of the information is confidential personnel
information which cannot be disclosed but it is shameful that there
are such abuses. The City pays dues to this organization while
others are authorizing expenditures that not everyone on the COG
Governing Board agrees with. Hopefully, things will get better in
that regard.
MPT/Chang announced that residents could follow her on
Facebook and Twitter and echoed her colleague's comments
regarding yesterday's 4th of July Blast. The feedback she received
centered on the fact that this was the best ever 4th of July Blast.
She loved the music and the fact that they were close to the action
so they could enjoy a phenomenal view. She offered a big thank
you to staff. She has posted photos of the fireworks on Facebook
JULY 5, 2011 PAGE 11 CITY COUNCIL
and Twitter for anyone who missed the event. Last week she
traveled to Taiwan to attend her cousin's wedding and visit her
grandmother. She also visited with D.B.'s Sister City officials. It
was not an official D.B. visit but merely a voluntary action to
connect with them. In December 2010 Taiwan consolidated cities
to create larger cities. The Sister City was Sanhsia which is now a
district within the newly formed Taipei City in Taipei County Taiwan
Province with a population of 2.6 million. She met with the Deputy
Mayor and other officials who would like to connect more with D.B.
to share areas of concern such as traffic and transportation and
economic development. She thanked M/Tye and the Diamond Bar
Community Foundation Chair Jody Roberto for co -sponsoring her
membership into Walnut Valley Rotary.
M/Tye thanked County Librarian Todd and her staff for helping get
the new City Hall/Library project moving forward so quickly and said
he believes this is the way things will get done in the future. When
he was running for Council he said to anyone who would listen that
the way to get things done was to take advantage of the facilities
that are available. We cooperate with the school districts — they
have the space and the same can be said of the library. D.B. has
the new and improved space that will be made into the best library
in the system. It will be a terrific public partnership and the City
looks forward to a long-term mutually beneficial relationship. He
thanked CSD/Rose and his crew for a terrific effort at DBHS last
night. Staff was out at 8:00 a.m. preparing for the event. Staff
never gets the 4th of July off and the community appreciates their
efforts. He felt there were more people at DBHS than at recent
Dodger games. He felt everyone had a terrific time and hoped that
everyone will join in the Concerts in the Park and Movies under the
Stars to keep the party going 6:30 p.m. at Sycamore Canyon Park.
He hopes everyone appreciates what CM/DeStefano reported
earlier about the Liability Trust Fund. When people look at what
D.B. has been able to accomplish over 22 years, contracting with
the library system for library services, contracting with the Sheriffs
Department for enforcement services, contracting for Fire
Department, etc. and what happens with the opportunity to go to
the Board of Supervisors to ask for a "holiday" — a relief from the
liability trust fund contribution, it gives the City an opportunity to put
$200,000 back into the General Fund for the City's use toward
these contract services. Overall, for the 40 plus cities that are part
of the Contract Cities in LA County it saved over $10 million. As
Sheriff Baca recently said and as others have said, "together we
are better" and together as a Contract City D.B. is a better
organization. He does not know how D.B. on its own would have
figured out on the basis of what the trust fund sits at on an actuarial
basis that it was actually overfunded and the City should receive
JULY 5, 2011 PAGE 12 CITY COUNCIL
some relief. Contract Cities was also able to negotiate the
contribution to the Liability Trust Fund going forward from 6 percent
to 4 percent. He thanked C/Herrera for talking about DBHS and he
thanked Principal Catherine Real for keeping continuity with the
standards set by Dennis Paul that got DBHS to being one of the top
schools in the State and in the Nation. He congratulated Alex
Morgan, DBHS graduate, the youngest Member of the US
Women's Soccer Team playing in the Women's World Cup who
graduated from Cal Berkeley a semester early so that she could
play on the team. He wished all the best to Alex and her
teammates in bringing the World Cup home. M/Tye stressed how
important it was to shop D.B. because the City is now looking at
losing two retailers that it has perhaps taken for granted, Ralphs
that will close the end of this month and Jody's Hallmark that closed
the end of last month. This Council and staff are working very, very
hard with the property owner to get a retailer in the Ralphs space
that will be recognizable.
ADJOURNMENT: With no further business to conduct, M/Tye recessed
the Regular City Council meeting at 7:35 p.m.
