Present: Council Members Ling -Ling Chang, Carol Herrera, Steve Tye, Mayor Pro Tem Ron Everett, and Mayor Jack Tanaka. Staff Present: James DeStefano, City Manager; David Doyle, Assistant City Manager; David DeBerry, City Attorney; Dianna Honeywell, Finance Director; Greg Gubman, Community Development Director; Ken Desforges, IT Director; David Liu, Public Works Director; Marsha Roa, Public Information Manager; Ryan McLean, Assistant to the City Manager; Kimberly Young, Associate Engineer; Alfred Estevez, IS Help Desk Support Technician, and Tommye Cribbins, City Clerk. ► GRAND AVENUE BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT — Discussion and Action CM/DeStefano stated that this is a project that has been coordinated between the Community Services Department and the Community Development Department. This project was last brought to the Council in April 2013 during which staff introduced the topic of adding some beautification improvements to Grand Avenue. PWD/Liu reported that the primary purpose of this project is to highlight the Diamond Bar Community. In addition, there is an opportunity to create visual points of interest at two high profile intersections: Grand Avenue and Diamond Bar Boulevard, and Grand Avenue and Longview Drive. These two intersections were chosen because they serve as primary gateway entries to the City. Improvements at the four corners of Grand Avenue and Diamond Bar Boulevard intersection will serve as a catalyst to stimulate the four corner shopping centers at the intersection. PWD/Liu introduced Surender Dewan, Civil Engineer and President, DMS Consultants, Inc., and Gary Vasquez, Landscape Architect, David Volz Design. Gary Vasquez with David Volz Design provided Council with an updated Power Point presentation. He stated that project efforts are focused along Grand Avenue at Diamond Bar Boulevard and Longview Drive intersections. The difference between the two intersections is that one is surrounded at the corners by commercial retail businesses and the other surrounded by residential. Both serve as entry points to the City. Part of the purpose of this project is to improve the aesthetics along Grand Avenue at the two intersections, to upgrade and begin to beautify the landscaping within the parkways as well as the medians, and to begin to define the character of Diamond Bar through types of construction materials such as color concrete or rock, etc. The primary efforts were to come up with visual characteristics that could be implemented at these AUGUST 6, 2013 PAGE 2 CC STUDY SESSION two intersections and possibly at other intersections and streets throughout the City, as well as, areas within and adjacent to the parkways on landscape easements in tandem with business owners in the future to incorporate the overall beautification effort. Mr. Vasquez showed slides of the areas and talked about existing site conditions that were taken into consideration including utilities, limited right-of-way and how to redefine the space/intersections to make them more cohesive in appearance. Some of the features that will need to be considered are pedestrian accent street lighting, signage and accent lighting, wayfinding signage, street lighting for vehicle traffic, and retail commercial signage and lighting. As the project moves forward at the Grand Avenue/Diamond Bar Boulevard area the City will need to work with some of the business owners to determine how the project can meet and incorporate their needs while beautifying and improving aesthetics within the parkway and landscape easements. Some improvements contemplated include improving crosswalks with enhanced paving and inclusion of materials in the public right-of-way. Part of the process moving forward will be the design development which will narrow the selections to specific paving materials. What helps define space at various intersections is the incorporation of vertical elements within the parkways and medians as well as, site furnishings such as benches, trash receptacles, town clocks, bollards, bike racks, bush shelters, tree wells, customized iron tree grates with the Diamond Bar logo, etc. Mr. Vasquez explained that Council recommended a phased project and accordingly, his firm took a step back and focused efforts on Phase I which is the improvements that can be done between the curb and back of the right-of-way. Part of this effort was that if the landscape easement could be used it could be added to Phase I in a seamless manner to prevent having to redo what has been done. Phase I proposes to enhance the pedestrian crosswalks with some enhanced paving and new sidewalk along both sides of the street wrapping the improvements around each intersection at Diamond Bar Boulevard to at least the first driveway into the retail shopping centers at each of the four corners incorporating trees and tree wells, etc. Phase II improvements, with the use of some of the landscape easement space, shows how much more landscaping can be achieved along Diamond Bar Boulevard and Grand Avenue. Part of the Phase I efforts will include generation of landscape guidelines with the hope that some of the business owners will buy into the improvements at the Diamond Bar Boulevard intersection. Mr. Vasquez spoke about enhancing the Longview Drive intersection and incorporating ornamental tree grates and trees and understory landscaping to soften the parkway and eventually, budget permitting, carry the landscaping to the slopes. Some of the vertical elements that would work well within the parkway and establish a visual character throughout the City would be a fieldstone wall with a low post and rail fence and decorative columns with softening vine cover as well as, a City icon such as a windmill to enhance and AUGUST 6, 2013 PAGE 3 CC STUDY SESSION build on the brand of the City. Various intersections could have vertical interchangeable panels incorporated into a post and rail fence with low ground cover plantings to soften the effect. He showed various panel designs. At Grand and Longview, he envisions an opportunity to incorporate an entry sign and showed the Council possible concepts. Mr. Vasquez stated that he estimates about a $1.2 million construction budget for Phase I for both intersections which does not include a proposed 20 percent contingency. This budget includes pedestrian crosswalks and improvements within the right-of-way. With Council's approval, construction would commence as soon as possible with the design element completed in September and a set of guidelines for staff in early October. During the next three months (November to February 2014) the City would pursue authorization from the State to proceed to get the Federal funding required to move forward with the work. Hopefully, in March 2014 the project will go out to bid with bid award in April and construction commencing in May 2014. He estimated three months for completion of the construction improvements at both intersections. C/Chang asked whether the new trees will block the businesses. Mr. Vasquez responded that the guidelines will include photos and some 3D models to show the improvements and how they will affect the background businesses. C/Chang asked if any of the funding would be coming from the General Fund. PWD/Liu said that four different funding sources have been identified that do not include the General Fund. Currently, the City has $1 million in funding budgeted for this project and the City of Industry has identified mitigation dollars to be used to fund improvements at Grand Avenue and Diamond Bar Boulevard just to mention two sources. C/Tye asked if the sign program would be required of all business owners and would it be north and east and not just the corner for more continuity. PWD/Liu responded that part of the Phase I effort will be an outreach effort to the business community to make sure that all business owners at all four corners of Grand Avenue and Diamond Bar Boulevard will have an opportunity to participate and provide the City with specific feedback. It is critical for the City to facilitate these types of discussions and that staff needs to have consistency in terms of the design guidelines and beautification features. The ongoing discussion will be that throughout this entire process staff will need to maintain ongoing dialogues with all four business shopping centers. PWD/Liu further stated that CDD/Gubman has been involved in this process from the beginning and has built working relationships with specific business owners. AUGUST 6, 2013 PAGE 4 CC STUDY SESSION CDD/Gubman stated that as was discussed earlier, this is a two phase effort and with the second phase comes the opportunity and the need to relocate some of the existing signage at the corners to accommodate the streetscape improvements. Staff envisions that through the outreach efforts the criteria will be defined so that at each of the four corners the shopping centers will have a more cohesive unified theme and the placement and design palate, etc. would be a collaborative effort to develop something at that intersection that weaves into the overall streetscape design so that not only is there improved identity for the businesses, and that the signage will also be part of the design theme. C/Tye said he was concerned about the signage closest to Big Lots, Chase and Firestone and would all of that be incorporated so that it looks cohesive instead of the mishmash that currently exists. CDD/Gubman stated that that would be the vision staff would be working toward. A good expression of that vision is what is seen in Walnut at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Valley Boulevard where there are different shopping centers but have a cohesive design palate that is integrated into their signs which are not only integrated at the corners but proceed down Grand Avenue and are repeated. C/Herrera asked where there would be space to plant extra trees along Grand Avenue and Diamond Bar Boulevard. Does the project reduce the width of the sidewalks or is space taken by taking a lane away from the street? Mr. Vasquez responded that the sidewalk width of five feet will be maintained and on Grand Avenue the trees could be incorporated on the right-of-way line with half of a tree grate that is ADA compliant in the Phase I development. If Phase II proceeds, the other half of the tree grate could be installed and the sidewalk paving expanded into the right-of-way. M/Tanaka asked if vehicular line -of -site would be taken into consideration for the trees being planted. Mr. Vasquez responded that the presentation shows a more ideal location for the trees but they will obviously need to be pushed around a bit to maintain proper visibility for automobiles as well as appeasing some of the business owners. MPT/Everett said he was very concerned about the long term and believes it requires a dialogue and communication with the parties of interest. What is meant by "businesses?" Is that the business owners, the establishments or what? And, at Longview Drive, there are no businesses so who would the dialogue be with at that location. MPT/Everett also asked who the people in the focus groups are and how does the City dialogue with the community for the best long-term effect? AUGUST 6, 2013 PAGE 5 CC STUDY SESSION Mr. Vasquez said he agreed that a dialogue with the community in the highly visible areas within the City is very important. The dialogue will be with the business owners at the Diamond Bar Boulevard/Grand Avenue intersection with the guidelines and CDD/Gubman's efforts to get their input but no other community outreach or community workshop efforts have been addressed for the residential portion along Longview Drive. PWD/Liu said that with respect to the residential community surrounding the Longview Drive intersection, staff feels that there is no need for the two groups to be at the same meeting. The idea is that staff will reach out to the neighborhood surrounding the intersection and invite them to a separate meeting or to a Traffic and Transportation Commission meeting to receive a presentation and as they get more involved and learn about the progress of the project. Staff wants to make certain that residents have a good idea where the City is heading and solicit their input to make sure they buy into the plan. Not only is it an entry point for the entire community, it is their neighborhood and staff wants to make sure there is constant and regular communication with the residents. With respect to the intersection of Grand Avenue and Diamond Bar Boulevard he and CDD/Gubman have discussed that as a starting point, staff wants to reach out to the shopping center owners/management companies. At this point and through that discussion they will help staff decide whether they need to start bringing in individual businesses and stakeholders. As guidelines are developed, business owners, businesses and staff will continue to learn about the project to help the City with its streetscape beautification efforts. MPT/Everett said he was really concerned that the City begins by thinking about the dialogue and relationship that is built. As with Massage Envy which is not a property owner, individual businesses have concerns. He is also concerned about just focusing on the neighborhoods at Longview Drive because that is their backyard but so many more people go through that intersection and they should feel good or at least have an avenue to express themselves. He doesn't want to get bogged down with the great architectures without making sure the community feels good about it so that the effort can be taken to other intersections. He said it troubles him to focus so specifically especially with the branding throughout the City. ► GRANDVIEW TRAIL & TRAIL LINK PROJECT — Discussion and Action CM/DeStefano stated that as part of the ongoing implementation of the Trails Master Plan, RS/Murphey and Jeff Scott from TKE will provide tonight's presentation on the link to the overall Summitridge Park Trail project system. CM/DeStefano reported that on tonight's regular meeting agenda includes an item regarding this project. RS/Murphey presented a Power Point presentation on the Grandview Trail and Link project. The Parks Master Plan was adopted in July 2011 and this trail and trail link is key to implementing the master plan and will allow residents to make a AUGUST 6, 2013 PAGE 6 CC STUDY SESSION full loop of the park. She pointed out the area of the proposed project and stated that once the major improvement trail link is completed, residents will be able to make a 2.5 mile loop around the park. Jeff Scott stated that from an architect's point of view, staff's diligence in pursuing grants for the Trails Master Plan is really exciting. The trail will start from the Diamond Bar Center west end parking lot and continue to a point that offers a spectacular view of the City and beyond to the City lights of Los Angeles and will include a Gazebo and trash receptacle. The goal was to minimize the number of stairs throughout the trail, to minimize the steepness at Steep Canyon and bring the slopes to an 8 to 10 percent slope with intermingled trail and steps minimizing the number of stairs to the bottom. Unfortunately, where the trail becomes the steepest, a significant number of stair steps were required however, for the most part; the revised option was successful in minimizing the number of stair steps. The master plan prepared by TKE in 2011 contained most of the standards that were utilized in the Gazebo design, trailhead signage and railing. Along the trail where there are steep grades adjacent to the trail, railings were provided and water diverters were installed to prevent washout, similar to what was done at the Sycamore Canyon trail. In addition, the project attempted to minimize tree removal by diverting the trail through the existing oaks and sycamores. The majority of the trail is six feet wide and where it diverts off is reduced to a four foot trail to avoid grading impacts to the natural flora and fauna at the steep areas of the trail. Most likely the few bridges will be constructed from corten steel rather than wood for a longer lasting and more durable structure. RS/Murphey stated that project costs are estimated to be $556,381. Funding comes from a combination of Land and Water Conservation grants, Habitat Conservation grants and the General Fund. The current General Fund amount is $469,796 and staff is working on an application to obtain $300,000 from Supervisor Knabe's Safe Parks Act Trails Grant program to complete the funding for the project. If the grant is fully funded, it will not only provide the necessary remaining funding, it would replace the General Fund monies as a funding source and provide a construction contingency. The resolution requesting City Council approval to submit the grant application is on the City Council's agenda for consideration this evening. The tentative project schedule is completion of plan check and corrections by the end of August with bid opening to be completed by October 11, Proposition A Grant awards announcement October 31, award of contract scheduled for November 19, and completion of construction April 30. If the City were not to receive the grant, Value Engineering would be used in order for the project to stay within the appropriation limit. Public Comments: None Offered.

CITY MANAGER REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: CM/DeStefano stated that earlier this evening Council held a study session to review a proposed beautification project on Grand Avenue between the area of Longview Drive and Diamond Bar Boulevard. This was the second review and this evening the Council looked at concept improvements for landscaping, signage, fencing and a variety of aesthetic improvements within that area. Staff received Council comments that indicated concerns about trees and wanted to be certain that businesses were properly protected with signage and identity. In addition, the Council wanted to be certain that the community stakeholders were invited to participate and be actively involved in the process. Staff received comments from tonight's meeting as well as, the April meeting and will ensure that there are community meetings for both the business and residential areas for those who wish to participate in the process to come forward and participate and give their thoughts as they reflect upon the concepts that are presented by staff and the City's consultant. The resources earmarked for the project are dedicated resources, the bulk of which comes from a grant that the City received from former Congressman Gary Miller's efforts. Those dollars are specific to Grand Avenue and while the City wishes it could use those dollars for other projects it is forbidden from doing so in accordance with the rules associated with Federal grant funds. The second item presented included details of the Grandview Trail Link proposed as part of the Summitridge Trail project, an effort the Council has had underway for several years to improve the trails system within the community. This is a piece that completes a missing link of a 2.5 mile trail. Money has been set aside for this project as well as on tonight's agenda an item for Council consideration seeking grant dollars from an effort that Supervisor Knabe has included in his agenda. The Council is meeting in the Windmill Room because the AQMD Auditorium is unavailable due to technology improvements that are underway. Late last week CM/DeStefano received written communication from the AQMD that those improvements are about two months behind schedule. Therefore, because this room has been booked for City Council meetings through September, at the next City Council meeting, staff will likely seek Council's approval for use of the Windmill Room through November. As staff learns more, the City Council will be updated. 3.

MPT/Everett said he appreciated the response and understanding of Council's concerns during tonight's Study Session. He wanted to make sure that all other Council Members had an opportunity to clarify their concerns or move forward. C/Herrera moved, C/Chang seconded, to approve Consent Calendar Item 6.4. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Chang, Herrera, Tye, MPT/Everett, M/Tanaka NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None 6.6 AUTHORIZE PURCHASE OF MOBILE TRAILER TO BE USED FOR NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH MEETINGS AND OTHER COMMUNITY EVENTS IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $45,000 AND APPROPRIATE FUNDS FROM GENERAL FUND RESERVES. MPT/Everett asked that staff make a presentation. CM/DeStefano stated that earlier this month the Council Public Safety Sub -committee held a meeting with City staff and that at that meeting staff made a presentation on a Neighborhood Watch and Community Meeting mobile trailer. From that meeting came the idea and concept that this AUGUST 6, 2013 PAGE 5 CITY COUNCIL matter be placed on the City Council's agenda for consideration this evening. ACM/Doyle reported that a few years ago when the City was approached by the Sheriff's Department to purchase what was then termed a Community Vehicle, the City, along with the City of Walnut, the County of Los Angeles and Supervisor Don Knabe's office each chipped in money to build what was then a recreational vehicle that was outfitted for Neighborhood Watch as well as, a Mobile Command Post. This vehicle has been in service for a number of years and has certainly seen better days. The Sheriff's Department and staff held discussions during which the Sheriff's Department was asked how this vehicle functioned for Neighborhood Watch meetings and the reality was that it did not function very well. It was a vehicle that was trying to fill too many purposes. This vehicle was also being used for a Command Post and did not function well for that use either. Last year the City Council authorized staff to approach the City's partner agencies including Supervisor Knabe, City of Walnut and County of Los Angeles, to dedicate this vehicle as a Mobile Command Post. The refurbishment process has been completed and it will be featured tomorrow night at "National Night Out". This vehicle is now almost like a new vehicle but is strictly a Mobile Command Post and no longer will be used for Neighborhood Watch. Discussions continued about what could be done to enhance Neighborhood Watch events because the City has a very active Neighborhood Watch program it promotes in the community. The conclusion was to develop a mobile trailer that is small enough to be pulled by a small pickup truck or SUV and is similar to what is called a "tailgate" trailer. He showed a photograph of the trailer and how it functions. The trailer includes a complete audio/visual system with a large screen monitor, awning and other equipment. Neighborhood Watch meetings use a lot of presentation materials in the form of video's, Power Point presentations, etc. to help people learn how not to be crime victims. Staff would like to purchase something similar to the concept and manufacture the trailer similar to the concept shown that is small and compact and something that opens up to display the information during a Neighborhood Watch meeting. As the discussion evolved, it led to consideration of other types of uses it could be used for, and thus, will not only be used as a Neighborhood Watch trailer but also a Diamond Bar Community trailer. On the side of the trailer opposite the audio visual equipment there will be a concession window that will allow a staff member to be present in the unit at the City Birthday Party, for example, to hand out materials, provide city information and answer questions. AUGUST 6, 2013 PAGE 6 CITY COUNCIL ACM/Doyle said that staff is embarking on the process but does not have funding which is why this item is before the Council this evening. The request is for a funding authorization in the amount of $45,000. The trailer will cost about $15,000; $7,500 in ancillary equipment (generators, etc.); $10,000 for audio visual, and about $5,000 to $7,500 for painting graphics. The request includes a $5,000 contingency for things that may become apparent during the development. With Council authorization it will take about four months for design, manufacturing and outfitting. Staff recommends City Council authorization for the purchase and appropriation of funds from General Fund Reserves. C/Herrera said she knows that many of the residents are concerned about burglaries and home invasions, so for the City to have the ability to take its "show on the road" and go to the neighborhoods where they have those concerns, she believes is a very important thing for the City to do. C/Herrera moved, C/Tye seconded, to approve Consent Calendar Item 6.6. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES NOES: ABSENT: 7. PUBLIC HEARING: COUNCIL MEMBERS: COUNCIL MEMBERS: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Chang, Herrera, Tye, MPT/Everett, M/Tanaka None None 7.1 ADOPT RESOLUTION NO: 2013-26: FINDING THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE 2013 LOS ANGELES COUNTY CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (CMP) AND ADOPTING THE CMP LOCAL DEVELOPMENT REPORT IN ACCORDANCE WITH CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65089. CM/DeStefano stated that this is an annual public hearing required by Los Angeles County for the City of Diamond Bar to report on its achievements and implementation of the Congestion Management Program (CMP). This is typically an effort of the Public. Works Department as well as, the Community Development Department. CDD/Gubman reported that as the City does every year around this time, Community Development and Public Works staff prepare a CMP compliance report and asks the Council to adopt a resolution finding Diamond Bar to be in compliance with the Los Angeles County Congestion Management Plan. All counties in the State are required to have a Congestion Management Program in place. CMP as it is called, are mandated under the provisions of the Traffic Congestion Relief and Spending Limitation Act of 1990. The two main goals of the CMP Is 1) to mitigate traffic impacts in the county associated with new development AUGUST 6, 2013 PAGE 7 CITY COUNCIL and 2) to develop a partnership among transportation decision makers on devising appropriate transportation solutions that include all modes of travel. The MTA is the agency responsible for preparing the CMP for Los Angeles County. Diamond Bar, along with all other local agencies, is required to meet the program requirements in the CMP in order to be eligible to receive State gas tax funds and to maintain eligibility for other transportation funding. Diamond Bar has thus far received $1.25 million in gas tax for the prior fiscal year. The CMP mandates self -certification at the local level through the adoption of a resolution demonstrating the City's compliance with the 2013 CMP and submittal of a Local Development Report to MTA. A public hearing is required prior to adopting this resolution. As described in staff's report in the attached resolution and Local Development Report, Diamond Bar remains in compliance with the CMP for Los Angeles County. Staff therefore recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution. On behalf of PWD/Liu and myself, thank you for the opportunity to present this report to the City Council this evening. M/Tanaka opened the Public Hearing at 7:03 p.m. With no one present who wished to speak on this matter, M/Tanaka closed the Public Hearing. MPT/Everett moved, C/Chang seconded, to adopt Resolution No: 2013- 26: Finding the City of Diamond Bar in conformance with the 2013 Los Angeles County Congestion Management Program (CMP) and adopting the CMP Local Development Report in accordance with California Government Code Section 65089. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Chang, Herrera, Tye, MPT/Everett, M/Tanaka NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None 8. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION: None 9. COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS AND MEETING ATTENDANCE REPORTS/COUNCIL MEMBER COMMENTS: C/Tye congratulated C/Chang who recently and officially took on her duties as President of the Los Angeles Division of League of Cities. He knows that she will lead that organization very well over the next 12 months. It was his privilege to be present for her installation by Assemblyman Curt Hagman. Last week he spent time with Dr. Bob Taylor, new Superintendent of the Walnut Valley Unified School District. It is good to hear what he has to say and C/Tye believes he is AUGUST 6, 2013 PAGE 8 CITY COUNCIL the right man at the right time for the job. He has a vision of where he wants to lead Walnut Valley going forward and not just rest on laurels from the myriad successes they have had over the past many years. Congratulations and welcome to Dr. Bob Taylor. C/Herrera reported that she attended several meetings including meetings with Foothill Transit, San Gabriel Valley COG, and Southern California Association of Governments. Some of the more fun events included the family picnic at the Diamond Bar/Walnut Sheriff's Station last Sunday. A great time was had by all and it was great to see the deputies relaxing and having fun with their families. Congratulations to President of the League of California Cities, LA County Division, C/Chang. People traveled more than three hours to get to the installation and participate and it was very impressive. She also had a meeting with Dr. Bob Taylor and is very impressed with the new Superintendent who is committed to interviewing 90 people in 90 days. She feels certain he will be successful. C/Chang reminded residents they can follow her on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Foursquare. She too attended a meeting with the new Superintendent of Walnut Valley Unified School District, Bob Taylor. She asked him questions including whether or not he was familiar with this community and found that he had actually taken time to know the community which she really appreciates because it is different and there is an emphasis on education. She also attended the Southern California Edison Advisory Committee meeting. Recently, there was an outage that affected approximately 1000 homes including hers. Fortunately, she had an app called Southern California Edison Outages so she went to the app to find out if it had been reported, when it was first reported and how many were affected. The app also provides a "restoration eta" so she followed very closely to see how accurate it was and it was accurate to within about five minutes. One can go to iTunes and type in SE Outages. It is free. She thanked her colleagues for taking time to attend her installation. She was quite shocked by the turnout and very, very appreciative for the presence of the entire City Council and her colleagues from the South Bay and West LA areas. C/Herrera was correct in stating it took two to three hours for them to travel to the installation. She thanked staff for doing such a great job assisting the League. MPT/Everett reported that following the last Council meeting on Wednesday he attended the LA County monthly Library Commission meeting and had the privilege of working on County Library business with Pui Ching Ho. County Librarian Todd presided over the meeting and her staff member, Debbie Anderson, spoke about Children's Services within the LA County Library System. Wednesday evening he attended the annual California Joint Powers Insurance Authority where a very special man, Larry Van Nostran, whose service in government began in Lakewood in 1971. He was the longest serving Council Member in Lakewood's history with 37 years on the governing body including serving as mayor nine times and serving his 10th term on the City Council when AUGUST 6, 2013 PAGE 9 CITY COUNCIL he passed last November. Mr. Van Nostran was the longest serving president in the Authority history presiding since 1990. The Vice -President, Curtis Morris was honored to open the annual meeting in remembrance of Mr. Van Norstran following which Curtis Morris, Mayor of San Dimas and a long -serving member of the Authority was elected as president. The third event MPT/Everett attended was the Friday Ribbon -Cutting for a new national childcare learning center called Kiddie Academy on Cold Springs Lane at the entrance of Super HMart. Wonderful facilities and programs and he encouraged people to visit the owner, Tina Anand or Director, Miss Gina or any of the staff. Folks will be pleased with the service they offer. Saturday, July 20 he and M/Tanaka were at Diamond Bar High School recognizing the top artists in the Second Annual Performing Arts Competitive Awards Ceremony. They had piano, strings, guitar and woodwinds divisions and of course, Diamond Bar High School Music Director Steve Acciani was a part of that along with coordinator Joanna Lo and a number of other teachers. On Sunday he and M/Tanaka recognized Troop 730's newest Eagle Scout, Jerry Xiao who is the last of the entire Road Runner Patrol. Congratulations to Jerry and all of the Road Runner Patrol and Troop 730 Eagle Scouts. Wednesdays he has enjoyed the Concerts in the Park and Movies with his colleagues and staff, Sheriff's and Fire Departments and various vendors of several organizations. He invited everyone to join in "National Night Out" tomorrow night. The national sponsor is Target and it will begin at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, July 25 he and M/Tanaka, LASD Sheriff's Department veterans and retirees celebrated the retirement of Deputy Tim Broad. Thanks for 30 years of service, most of which was spent in and around Diamond Bar. MPT/Everett also attended a San Gabriel Valley National Recreation Area Designation Workshop which was held at San Dimas City Hall. Congresswoman Judy Chu has been reviewing and studying this item for probably 10 years. The final report was made in April of this year to develop a National Recreation Area Designation for the San Gabriel Valley. MPT/Everett believes that there is a need for it and should be made available to Diamond Bar residents as well all residents and visitors. It is an outstanding national resource for recreation. If you want a copy of the final report you can do so by contacting him or obtain one online. Wednesday, July 31 he and M/Tanaka met with the City's Public Safety Subcommittee, The Fire and Sheriff's Departments as well as, staff were represented. The Fire Department discussed brush clearance programs. There have been significant fires in our area and the recommendation is to make sure that around your home and buildings you have a defensible space, especially this AUGUST 6, 2013 PAGE 10 CITY COUNCIL year since Diamond Bar is experiencing the severe drought conditions. The second item discussed was the CPR training at local schools. Third is the coordination of a Staging Area for the first 24 -hours of a significant large incident in the Diamond Bar area. The Sheriff's Department discussed crime statistics. Overall Diamond Bar policing programs and the good witness reporting is working. He reminded everyone to be vigilant about vandalism. Recently, vandalism has occurred at Pantera Park and it has taken staff resources and money to repair the damage. There has also been significant theft of copper in the area. Anyone observing vandals and any other criminal activity place an emergency call. He too, enjoyed the induction and swearing in of C/Chang. She is a wonder and she is going to do well. He was proud to be there on her behalf and to showcase the Diamond Bar Center which was well received by so many elected officials —well over 100, many of whom had not been in Diamond Bar to see the facility which he thinks is the greatest. MPT/Everett also met with Walnut Valley Unified School District Superintendent Dr. Bob Taylor. Thirty-six years ago he decided to move to Diamond Bar because of the schools and he made the right decision. But boy, times have changed with new challenges are facing the education community. MPT/Everett commented that Dr. Bob Taylor is the man to take on these challenges and he looks forward to working with him to keep education a top priority in Diamond Bar. He announced that Planning Commissioner Steve Nelson was moving out of Diamond Bar and will be resigning his position on the Planning Commission. He asked staff to assist him in scheduling a recognition ceremony for Steve's long term leadership and service to the Planning Commission and to announce to residents the vacancy. M/Tanaka said he too was very busy during the past two weeks. He attended the Ribbon Cutting for Kiddie Academy and congratulated owner Tina for doing such a wonderful job with her business at the Super HMart Shopping Center. Friday, July 19 was Teen Night Out at Sycamore Canyon Park for teens with plenty of outdoor games, prizes and snacks. He thanked CSC/Meyers for coordinating a wonderful event for the kids. That Saturday he attended the Diamond Bar Performing Arts Competition. He thanked Joanna Lo and Steve Acciani and all of the other instructors and volunteers. He congratulated all of the winners of all of the divisions for woodwind, guitar, piano and strings. They were treated to a performance by each of the students in a program that was intended to last about two hours but continued for about three hours and 45 minutes but heard some wonderful music. On Sunday, July 21 he attended Eagle Scout ceremonies for Jerry Xiao who attained the highest rank in Boy Scouting. AUGUST 6, 2013 PAGE 11 CITY COUNCIL On Wednesday, July 24 he attended the LA County Sanitation District 21 monthly meeting during which he received several hazardous household waste collection results. On Thursday he met with Dr. Bob Taylor from Walnut Valley Unified School District and looks forward to working collaboratively with the District. He asked Dr. Taylor to stay on a more few years than his predecessors, to communicate with staff and work closely with the City in their Joint Agreement Use for some of the school fields. He thanked Deputy Tim Broad from the Diamond Bar/Walnut Station where he served 10 years and concluded his 30 -year career. Best wishes to Deputy Broad. On Saturday, July 27 he celebrated the breaking of fasting at the Muslim Temple in Rowland Heights and on Monday, July 29 he attended the Diamond Bar Community meeting in preparation for this year's Diamond Bar Day at the Fair which will be on Thursday, September 5. There will be a parade, entertainment and honor ceremonies for some of Diamond Bar's Heroes — Youth Hero Anantha Singarajah, Adult Hero Tony Torng and Senior Hero Bee McMillan. That afternoon he attended the Junior Board meeting for the Los Angeles County Fair orientation meeting where 34 juniors and seniors from the 17 local high schools are involved in a board trying to improve the LA County Fair. Attendees had a chance to meet each other and learn about each other, learn about the history of the LA County Fair, participate in leadership activities and small group activities, and received assignments. This past Wednesday he attended a couple of subcommittee meetings, the first of which was the Public Safety where Sheriff's and Fire Departments were represented. The second meeting was on the Neighborhood Improvement subcommittee with the topic of review being the Shell Station at Palomino and Diamond Bar Boulevard which is in receivership and the project is moving forward toward completion. On Thursday, August 1, Diamond Bar Library had their summer finale for the children's reading program at Sycamore Canyon Park. Miss Julie had games, prizes and refreshments for all children in attendance. The event was very successful and thanks to the library volunteers from the Diamond Bar High School Leo Club and the City's Community Services Department who set up all of the shelters for the event. Last Thursday was the LA County Division League of California Cities installation where he witnessed C/Chang being installed as President and its board. Everyone in attendance enjoyed the Diamond Bar Center. He thanked City staff members who worked so hard in conjunction with the League staff. Last Sunday the Walnut/Diamond Bar Sheriff's Station celebrated with their families a wonderful picnic and a good time was had by all and a wonderful barbecue hosted by the Deputy Sheriff's. AUGUST 6, 2013 PAGE 12 CITY COUNCIL The last three Wednesdays he has attended Concerts in the Park and Movies under the Stars and tomorrow is National Night Out so everyone please come out to meet their neighbors and keep our neighborhoods safe. ADJOURNMENT: With no further business to conduct, M/Tanaka adjourned the Regular City Council Meeting at 7:28 p.m. TOMMYE CRIBBINS, CITY CLERK The foregoing minutes are hereby approved this day of 2013. JACK TANAKA, MAYOR Agenda No. 6.2(a) CITY OF DIAMOND BAR MINUTES OF THE TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION MEETING MAY 9, 2013 CALL TO ORDER: Chairman Mok called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. in the Diamond Bar City Hall Windmill Community Room, 21810 Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, California 91765. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: Commissioner Pirritano led the Pledge of Allegiance. ROLL CALL: Commissioners Ted Carrera, Jen "Fred" Mahlke, Peter Pirritano, Chairman Kenneth Mok Absent: Commissioner Liana Pincher was excused. Also Present: David Liu, Public Works Director, Kimberly Young, Associate Engineer; Christian Malpica, Associate Engineer (Traffic), and Marcy Hilario, Administrative Coordinator. I. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: A. Minutes of the April 11, 2013 Regular Meeting C/Carrera moved, VC/Mahlke seconded, to approve the Minutes of the April 11, 2013 meeting as corrected. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Carrera, Pirritano, VC/Mahlke, Chair/Mok NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: Pincher 11. PUBLIC COMMENTS: None Offered. III. ITEMS FROM STAFF: A. Receive and File Traffic Enforcement Updates for:. 1. Citations: February, March and April 2013 2. Collisions: February, March and April 2013 3. Street Sweeping: February, March and April 2013 VC/Mahlke moved, C/Pirritano seconded, to receive and file the Traffic Enforcement Update reports for February, March and April 2013. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: MAY 9, 2013 AYES: NOES: ABSENT: IV. OLD BUSINESS: V VI NEW BUSINESS PAGE COMMISSIONERS: COMMISSIONERS: COMMISSIONERS: None None STATUS OF PREVIOUS ACTION ITEMS: VII. ITEMS FROM COMMISSIONERS: T&T COMMISSION Carrera, Pirritano, VC/Mahlke, Chair/Mok None Pincher None C/Carrera shared that he has observed a repeated occurrence as he approaches Maple Hill Drive during the morning hours. The traffic signal on Maple Hill Drive at Diamond Bar Boulevard will phase to yellow and never phase to green for Maple Hill Drive cross traffic. AE/Malpica responded that staff has been working with the vendor to upgrade the video detection cameras at that intersection. For example, when it is dark or the pavement is wet and the light reflects to the camera, it triggers the camera to go into a false mode by placing a call to the side street. Once it detects no vehicles on the side street, it quickly changes back. Eventually, the vendor will attempt to upgrade the software in the old cameras and if that does not work, they will recommend that the City upgrade to a newer camera. In addition, there was a pedestrian push button at that location that was damaged during a traffic accident which caused additional wait time on Diamond Bar Boulevard. Staff will update the Commission on the findings. Chair/Mok stated that he recalls reading somewhere that the entrance coming into DB from San Bernardino County at Longview Avenue and Grand Avenue would have some improvements implemented soon. He asked if this was the same project that has been discussed at previous Commission meeting regarding Grand Avenue and Summitridge Drive. PWD/Liu responded that at its first meeting in April, the City Council held a Study Session during which the opportunity to develop a beautification project on Grand Avenue was discussed. As part of the proposal, staff is focusing on two intersections 1) the intersection of Grand Avenue and Diamond Bar Boulevard and 2) at Grand Avenue and Longview Drive. This is a project that will come back to the Commission within a couple of months for review and discussion. A rough concept of the proposed beautification project using Federal funds was presented to the City Council to possibly include an entry statement at the easterly border. Since the intersection of Grand Avenue and Diamond Bar Boulevard is at the center of the town with four corner shopping centers, staff felt there was an opportunity to reconstruct the entire intersection. The Council is supportive of the proposal and staff has a kick-off meeting scheduled on Monday with the consultants to proceed with the concept plan. If everything works out and the Council decides to move forward, the work can commence by next summer. Chair/Mok asked what future plans are for the old Ralph's Market location. There was some mention made that a Walmart Grocery Store was going in. If that holds MAY 9, 2013 PAGE 3 T&T COMMISSION true, he asked if traffic would be problematic. PWD/Liu replied that a press release given by the shopping center owner a couple of months ago indicated that a Walmart Grocery Store is indeed a likely candidate. Staff has not seen any plans and once a project application is submitted to the City, staff will be requesting traffic and parking studies. VIII. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS: A. CCN Project AE/Malpica reported that final adjustments were delayed due to configuration issues that the consultant discovered upon examination of the cameras. However, the consultant was able to fine-tune all of the cameras during the week of April 29th. Final acceptance testing is scheduled to be completed by the end of May. Once completed, staff will take the Notion of Completion to a June City Council meeting for consideration. B. Median Project at Grand Avenue and Summitridge Drive AE/Malpica explained that staff received a revised PS&E during the week of April 22 d, which is currently under review. Additionally, a second median project at Diamond Bar Boulevard and Silver Hawk Drive is currently in the design phase. Staff has proposed to advertise both projects at the same time by the end of June/early July. C. Traffic Signal Operation and Maintenance Master Plan AE/Malpica stated that staff submitted comments to the consultant to be incorporated into the report. The final report is scheduled to be completed by June with some of the recommendations being implemented by early July, depending on available funding. D. SR57/60 Confluence at Grand Avenue Project — Public Hearing for Draft EIR PWD/Liu reported that Caltrans is wrapping up the EIR. With respect to funding, this project has been split into three phases. Phases I and II are fully funded, however, Phase III has a price tag of $235 million. Funding continues to be an ongoing challenge for DB and Industry; on the other hand, there have been new developments and opportunities. In March, staff and City Council members traveled to Washington, D.C. along with City of Industry partners. There is currently no funding available for any transportation related projects or improvements; however, there is a new provision in Map -21, which requires the designation of a National Freight Plan. One of the first things this bill asks of USDOT is to establish a national primary freight network under the plan. In the new legislation bill, when reference is made of a national freight network, it speaks to 30,000 miles of interstate freight network. In this region, SR57 & 60 are state routes, and they are not part of the interstate network. However, that corridor, and especially the SR60, is a very critical segment, notwithstanding MAY 9, 2013 PAGE 4 T&T COMMISSION that SCAG has already identified the SR60 as a major east/west freight corridor. As a result of our collaboration effort, Congressional Members (Judy Chu, Ed Royce and Grace Napolitano) signed a letter to Secretary Ray LaHood at USDOT encouraging the secretary to consider including the SR60 onto the National Freight Plan. Separately, SCAG had sent a letter to USDOT stating the importance of adding the SR60 onto the National Freight Plan. This addition is important because when funding is discussed at a later time, any projects listed or identified on the National Freight Plan will have the first opportunity to obtain funding. E. Area 1 B/Zone 7 Road Maintenance Project AE/Young reported that bids will be opened on Monday, May 13t . Plans and specs have been available for pickup for prospective contractors since April 22nd. The engineer's estimate remains at $1.25 million and, if all goes well with the bid opening on Monday, staff hopes to have a contract award for Council consideration and approval at their May 21St meeting. F. Draft FY 2013-14 CIP Budget PWD/Liu stated that last Tuesday night, staff introduced the Draft Budget for Fiscal Year 2013-14 which includes the draft CIP. The City Council did not discuss the CIP but will do so at its May 21St meeting. Staff felt it was appropriate and timely to share this information with the Commissioners with a copy of the proposed CIP projects presented this evening. PWD/Liu gave a detailed explanation for each of the proposed projects listed in the CIP report. G. 2013-14 FY Goals & Objectives PWD/Liu presented the City Council 2013-14 FY Goals & Objectives and gave a detailed explanation of each Goal & Objective. He also mentioned how staff will measure the success of each item. Chair/Mok commented that the new format was great. Each bullet has been explained and it is specific so that individuals can follow exactly what is being done. Kudos to whoever designed the new format. IX. SCHEDULE OF FUTURE CITY EVENTS: As stated in the agenda. Chair/Mok wished everyone a happy Memorial Day and to mothers, Happy Mother's Day!

L APPROVAL OF MINUTES: A. Minutes of the May 9, 2013 Regular Meeting C/Carrera moved, VC/Mahlke seconded, to approve the Minutes of the May 9, 2013 meeting as presented. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Carrera, Pirritano, VC/Mahlke, Chair/Mok NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None ABSTAIN: COMMISSIONERS: Pincher ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: None II. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Adam Sakowitz, 23670 Monument Canyon Drive - Unit C, presented the Commission with Section 8.13 of the California Vehicle Code 40245 — Parking Violations during Street Sweeping. Mr. Sakowitz said that his interpretation of the Code is that a vehicle should not be ticketed if it is parked in the street sweeping lane after the sweeper has already been there because it does not cause an impediment to the street sweeper. Furthermore, if a street sweeper is not coming at all, even if it is on a scheduled day, he asked how any vehicle be an impediment to the street sweeper. He has lived in his home for over one year and has seen the street sweeper only one time. The reason he is bringing this matter to the JULY 11, 2013 PAGE 2 T&T COMMISSION Commission is that he and others have been getting ticketed for a non-existent street sweeper. PWD/Liu responded that the established City policy is consistent with the intent of the state's legislation. The signage on the residential streets specifies the timeframe (hours) during which the street sweeping operation takes place. From a practical perspective, in order to not impede the street sweeping operation, the parking enforcement officer comes before the street sweeper and does not follow the street sweeper. Unless he determines that the vehicle is impeding the street sweeper, the parking officer will cite the vehicle owner for that violation. While the street signage specifies the number of hours, once the street sweeper has left the area, the parking becomes immediately available on the residential street. Street sweeping is done on a bi-weekly schedule that is fairly regular except during December and January when it becomes a weekly schedule. The street sweeping driver is very experienced and very familiar with the condition of the streets and the parking enforcement officer only issues tickets when he sees vehicles obstructing the street sweeping operation. Staff is willing to discuss this matter further with the speaker. In addition, the City has an exempt policy for many different reasons including special needs and special circumstances. Any such requests are forwarded to the parking enforcement agency to consider waiving the citation. Chair/Mok stated that the Commission is not in a position to discuss or make any decisions this evening on public comment items. He asked the speaker to clarify that he has seen the street sweeper only one time and asked at what time of the day the speaker observed the street sweeper. Mr. Sakowitz reiterated that during the past year of living at his residence he has seen the street sweeper only once on Wednesday at about 11:00 a.m. He offered the Commission photographic evidence that the same trash and debris was on the street on Wednesday afternoon. C/Pincher asked what street the speaker lives on and he responded Monument Canyon Drive. C/Pincher asked if the speaker lives in a residence, condominium or apartment complex and the speaker responded that there are condos on both sides of the street and at the top of the block are single family residences. C/Pincher asked if his street is swept on alternating days to accommodate parking and the speaker responded that C/Pincher was correct. C/Pincher asked if the speaker knew the posted hours for each side. The speaker responded that he believed that on Wednesday the hours were 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and on Thursday the hours are 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. C/Carrera asked if the parking enforcement officer knew the exact route of the street sweepers. PWD/Liu responded that the CSO that enforces parking restrictions on street sweeping days has been with the Sheriffs Department since the inception of the street sweeping program and that he understands the program and the practices. In addition, he has a working relationship with the driver of the street sweeper and in the event of any changes both individuals coordinate the changes in advance. Diamond Bar wants clean streets and the goal is to provide standards that residents expect from the street sweeping service. From time to time, there could be exceptions, such as illness and substitute driver. PWD/Liu said that he and other JULY 11, 2013 PAGE 3 T&T COMMISSION staff members have followed the sweeper to see how the service is operating. Again, the City wants to have a street sweeping program that is effective and makes sense. PWD/Liu added that he would be happy to look at the photographs and follow up with the street sweeper. C/Carrera said he could not speak for Monument Canyon Drive; however, on his street, he has personally witnessed on many occasions the CSO precede the street sweeper almost within five to six minutes of one another. VC/Mahlke thanked the speaker for his presentation. She asked the speaker what he hoped the City could do for him. Mr. Sakowitz responded that the City needs to establish effective street sweeping and he would not be present objecting to the citations if that service was actually occurring. It has been his observation that the service is not being provided and that is a failure of local government. Secondly, he is paying for the service and the one time about a year ago that he did observe the street sweeper, the parking enforcement officer was directly ahead of the street sweeper. However, he has seen people get citations on their vehicles when there is no street sweeper in sight. He received two citations last month. He appealed the first citation; however, he was denied. The second citation has not yet been paid or appealed because he wanted to come to the Commission meeting this evening for further guidance. He knows there is no street sweeper and does not believe he and others should have to pay for citations under the Code. Mr. Sakowitz asked what he should do about the citations. Chair/Mok reiterated that the Commission could not make a determination this evening based on public testimony. Chair/Mok added that he appreciated the speaker's presentation and asked him to leave his information with staff: PWD/Liu explained that Mr. Sakowitz needs to follow the instructions on the citation and if he feels he has a valid case, he needs to file an appeal. PWD/Liu said he would discuss the matter with the parking enforcement officer. III. ITEMS FROM STAFF: A. Receive and File Traffic Enforcement Updates for: 1. Citations: April, May and June 2013 2. Collisions: April, May and June 2013 3. Street Sweeping: April, May and June 2013 C/Carrera stated that he noticed at least a hundred fewer street sweeping citations this year than there were in previous years. VC/Mahlke moved, C/Pirritano seconded, to receive and file the Traffic Enforcement Update reports for April, May and June 2013.

NEW BUSINESS: COMMISSIONERS COMMISSIONERS: COMMISSIONERS: None Carrara, Pincher, Pirritano, VC/Mahlke, Chair/Mok None None A. Received and Filed Video Presentation regarding SR57/60 Confluence Project PWD/Liu presented a four minute professionally produced video that presents facts and statistics to explain both the urgency and the immediate need forthe SR -57/60 Interchange improvements as well as, the $265 million multi -phase plan for this bottleneck area where 17 lanes of traffic are condensed into 14 lanes at Grand Avenue. C/Carrera moved, VC/Malke seconded, to receive and file the Video Presentation regarding the SR -57/60 Confluence Project. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Carrera, Pincher, Pirritano, VC/Mahlke, Chair/Mok NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: None B. Received and Filed Updated Five Year (FY 2013-14 through FY 2017-18) Capital Improvement Plan PWD/Liu explained that the updated Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan identifies and coordinates the financing and timing of public improvements in Diamond Bar. By considering all of the projects at a single time in this planning document, the City has a more comprehensive view of its capital needs. Projects can also be better coordinated and financed through the use of this five-year document. Furthermore, this five-year CIP plan provides the means for the City to determine capital priorities and continuity in carrying them out. Project selection is based on citizen input, data from the pavement management program, comprehensive infrastructure management plan, the Parks Master Plan, City Council priorities, and General Plan goals as well as, information from staff and public. The 62 listed projects represents an investment of about $31 million over the five year plan. Of that amount, 5.7 percent ($1,766,377) is expected to be paid out of the City's General Fund. All projects slated from year 2 through 5 do not receive any expenditure authority JULY 11, 2013 PAGE 5 T&T COMMISSION pip until they are allocated funding in the CIP budget for that specific fiscal year. PWD/Liu highlighted and explained some of the proposed projects. C/Pincher spoke about the proposed Morning Canyon Road project and asked if the cost included removal of the pine trees. PWD/Liu responded affirmatively that removal costs were included in the projected budget. C/Pincher said that her Certified Arborist gardener stated that many cities were including Australian Willows which are hearty, require little water and once established, do not corrupt the sidewalks and streets. C/Carrera asked how reliable and solid the funding was for the non General Fund revenues anticipated for sorne of these projects. PWD/responded that staff feels very comfortable and strongly about the funding sources as well as, the estimates provided in the document. C/Pirritano moved, VC/Mahlke seconded, to receive and file the Updated Five - Year (FY 2013-14 through FY 2017-18) Capital Improvement Plan. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: NOES: COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: STATUS OF PREVIOUS ACTION ITEMS: Carrera, Pincher, Pirritano, VC/Mahlke, Chair/Mok None None AE/Malpica responded to C/Carrera's observation about the signal at Diamond Bar Boulevard and Maple Hill Drive that he mentioned at the last meeting. There are two possible scenarios — one, that the camera needed adjusting and two, that a push button may have gone bad. In fact, after reviewing field conditions, making field assessments and requesting that the traffic signal maintenance contractor look at the issue, staff discovered that in fact, one of the push buttons was damaged. Once it was repaired, further monitoring of the intersection revealed that the problem was resolved. VII. ITEMS FROM COMMISSIONERS: C/Carrera stated his big concern during a recent power failure at the intersection of Diamond Bar Boulevard and Grand Avenue was that power had not been restored by 4:30-5:00 p.m., during rush hour. He asked if there was a protocol for having a live officer monitor or conduct traffic control at such intersections. PWD/Liu responded that, in any given situation when there is a power outage or any such major incident, the Sheriff's Department will dispatch a deputy or deputies. In this instance, because it was a widespread outage, the Sheriffs Department had many issues including false alarms. JULY 11, 2013 PAGE 6 T&T COMMISSION AE/Malpica explained that the intersection has a battery backup system. In the morning, the battery backup system was operational and provided a red flash. Chair/Mok asked who to call in the event City Hall is closed and one of the Commissioners witnesses a problem. PWD/Liu responded that depending on the conditions, the traffic management system detects problems and provides alerts and emails to staff's cell phones. If Chair/Mok is talking about red flash conditions, staff is already being made aware. There are logs provided for all conditions and the timing of those conditions in the event of power outages, etc. so that staff can determine whether the situation needs mitigation. If the matter is safety related, staff advises that anyone immediately call the Sheriff's Department and follow up with staff, if necessary. VIII. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS: A. CCTV Project. AE/Malpica reported that the City is currently experiencing bandwidth shortage and some of the images are not coming through. Staff is working with the vendor to remedy this situation by replacing some of the copper lines with fiber optics cable. Once replaced, staff will test the equipment to make certain that the video feedback is fully operational and staff can then take the notice of completion to the City Council. B. Median Project at Grand Avenue and Summitridge Drive/Diamond Bar Boulevard at Silver Hawk Drive. AE/Malpica explained that staff has been working closely with its consultants on the plans and specs. The project will be advertised by early August with possible contract approval by the City Council in late August/early September. Construction is anticipated to begin by the end of September, 2013. C. Traffic Signal Operation and Maintenance Master Plans. AE/Malpica stated that staff continues to work with the consultant to finalize the report. The consultant recommended that the testing and implementation of some recommendations be done when school resumes. This will provide staff with better information on actual conditions to help formulate the best recommendations and implementation of the plan. D. ACE Fairway Drive Grade Separation Project AE/Malpica reported that this project is being managed by ACE (Alameda Corridor East). The purpose of this project is to lower the traffic lanes below the two existing Union Pacific Railroad track and Metrolink track in the City of Industry and unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County immediately north of the SR -60. The three-year project will include a four -lane roadway underpass JULY 11. 2013 PAGE 7 T&T COMMISSION with retaining walls, some new railroad bridges and one possible future freight rail track. The City's traffic consultant will be reviewing the Traffic Management Plan (TMP) to mitigate traffic flow issues for Diamond Bar. E. Residential Area 1 B/Arterial Zone 7 Road Maintenance Project. PWD/Liu reported that this annual slurry seal project is slated for Residential Area 1 B and Arterial Zone 7. This project is bounded by the SR -57/60 to the north and Grand Avenue and Diamond Bar Boulevard to the south and includes a neighborhood that surrounds Quail Summit Elementary School. Arterial Zone 7 includes Golden Springs Drive between Lavender Drive and Brea Canyon Road, and on Diamond Bar Boulevard between Brea Canyon Road and Brea Canyon Cutoff at the south end of the City. Work will begin the week of July 22nd on the streets immediately surrounding Quail Summit Elementary School in order to avoid traffic conflicts when the school session resumes. Work hours will be from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The project is anticipated to be completed by mid-September. F. Southern California Edison (SCE) Infrastructure Upgrades. PWD/Liu conveyed that SCE recently started major infrastructure improvements in three neighborhoods:. 1) Sunset Crossing neighborhood between Diamond Bar Boulevard and Golden Springs Drive at the north end of the City; 2) Mountain Laurel Drive neighborhood between Diamond Bar Boulevard out toward Butternut Way, and 3) Maple Hill Drive neighborhood near Blenburry Drive. SCE will be trenching, installing conduit and repaving the street with a construction timeframe of between 8 to 10 weeks. Following consultation, the City agreed that in addition to the typical five-day workweek (Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) they would be allowed to work on Saturdays (8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) in order to complete the work prior to the commencement of the school year. These infrastructure upgrades are essential to eliminating the unplanned power outages that the City has been experiencing during the past couple of years, AE/Malpica advised the Commissioners that this weekend, beginning Friday night at 10:00 p.m., there will be major work taking place on the westbound SR -60 that involves four 55 -hour lane closures. In addition, the following weekend there will be a four-hour closure on the westbound SR60 from 1:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. Staff is working closely with Caltrans and the Sheriff's Department to address potential truck traffic concerns. PWD/Liu added that in addition to the partial closure starting tomorrow night and going into the weekend, the connector from the northbound SR - 57 to the westbound SR -60 will be closed and potentially, some of the City's streets and intersections could be impacted. The City's website has pertinent information regarding this project. JULY 11, 2013 PAGE 8 T&T COMMISSION IX. SCHEDULE OF FUTURE CITY EVENTS: As stated in the agenda.

CITY COUNCIL Agenda # 6.4 Meeting Date: 8/20/2013 AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council VIA: James DeStefano, City Ma IE 'r TITLE: RESOLUTION NO. 2013 -XX OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR APPROVING THE APPLICATION FOR $181,579 OF HABITAT CONSERVATION FUND GRANT FUNDS, WHICH IF AWARDED, REQUIRES A $181,579 MATCH FROM THE CITY, FOR THE PANTERA PARK TRAIL. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Development of the Pantera Park Trail is estimated to cost $363,158. The Habitat Conservation Fund grant requires a dollar to dollar match from the City. Staff is requesting $181,579 from the Habitat Conservation Fund. The remaining amount is $181,579. Approximately $25,000 will be used to pay the California Conservation Corp to forge the trail. This amount will be reimbursed through the Prop A Youth at Risk funds. The remaining $156,579 will be listed as committed from City of Diamond Bar general funds to complete the match. Staff is applying for the Land and Water Conservation Grant due November 1 of 2013 that if awarded could become this match. BACKGROUND: The Pantera Park Trail begins inside the Dog Park straight up a very steep hill. Staff has hiked the area to determine the best way to make this access area more accessible to a more diverse group of hikers. Currently the hill is so steep a chain has been placed at one point of the trail for the hiker to use to pull up to a less steep area. The California Conservation Corp (CCC) has added some natural steps in another area. Using the CCC for this project can help make the grant more competitive. This grant application will address the steep grades and give an alternative route. If the grant is awarded the trail access would be developed using switch backs and possibly steps where necessary. DISCUSSION: The application for this grant is being prepared by Community Services staff. This project will develop approximately 2,500 feet along the Pantera Park Trail access by altering the location to follow the contours of the land and mitigate the 25%+ grade going directly up the hill of the current hard pan path. Where following the contour of the land is not feasible landscape tie steps with hand rail may be installed. Cobblestone swales will be installed for drainage if necessary. The project will include developing a trail path, lodge pole fencing where needed, bench rest stops, trash receptacles, minor foliage restoration, rules and directional signage. This Resolution is a required element of the grant application. This is one of many applications that staff has submitted in an effort to obtain funds to construct improvements identified in the Trails Master Plan. Examples are funding for the Grand View Trail and Trail Link from the Land and Water Conservation Fund awarded in last year 2012-13 and the year before 2011-12 funding cycles and for the Grand View Trail Link from the Habitat Conservation Fund Grant for the 2013-14 cycle.

RECOMMENDATION: Approve. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Agenda # 6.5 Meeting Date: August 20, 2013 AGENDA REPORT of the City Council TENT WITH WARREN C. SIECKE ZONE STUDY IN THE AMOUNT Funds are available in the current Fiscal Year 2013-2014 Public Works operating budget. DISCUSSION: In order to legally establish and enforce speed limits, the California Vehicle Code (CVC) requires that speed limits be developed on the basis of a traffic and engineering speed zone study. A variety of criteria are considered in this process, including: prevailing vehicle speeds, number of accidents, traffic volumes, roadway design, safe stopping distance, pedestrian traffic, and other conditions not readily apparent to motorists. The CVC also requires that the speed zone study be updated at least every seven (7) years if radar is used for speed limit enforcement. If local agencies do not conform to these provisions, any citations written on the affected roadways would not be enforceable in court. The current speed zone study, dated August 3, 2004 must be updated on or before August 2014 to reflect any roadway segments that have experienced significant changes in roadway or traffic conditions. Our traffic engineer, Warren C. Siecke, has been retained to evaluate the City's entire roadway network and to complete an updated speed zone study per his proposal dated May 2, 2013 (see Attachment A). The study will include seventy-seven segments of the following streets: Brea Canyon Cut -Off Brea Canyon Road Bridgegate Drive Chino Avenue Chino Hills Parkway Cold Spring Lane Golden Springs Drive Copley Drive Diamond Bar Boulevard Gateway Center Drive Golden Springs Drive Grand Avenue Highland Valley Road Lemon Avenue Lycoming Street Montefino Drive Palomino Drive Pathfinder Road Prospectors Road Sunset Crossing Road Temple Avenue Walnut Drive Washington Street Valley Vista Drive Warren C. Siecke is experienced with speed zone survey standards and has a history of successfully completing the 1994 and 2004 studies for the City of Diamond Bar.

On Wednesday, July 31, 2013, City Staff was notified that the SCAQMD Auditorium will not be available for use by the City Council until November, 2013. As a result, the City Council will need to amend Ordinance No. 03(2013) to continue to hold its regularly scheduled meetings in the Windmill Community Room at Diamond Bar City Hall, located at 21810 Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, CA, through November 5, 2013. The dates and times of the meetings will remain the same. Government Code section 54954 requires the City Council to establish the time and place for holding regular meetings by ordinance, resolution or some other rule. The City Council has done so by ordinance. The attached Ordinance, if adopted by the City Council, will provide public notice of the relocation of City Council meetings on an interim basis. Upon the conclusion of the November 5, 2013 City Council meeting this Ordinance will automatically terminate and the publicly noticed time 947029.1 and place of the regular meetings of the City Council will revert back to the SCAQMD Auditorium as specified in Section 2.08.10 of the Diamond Bar Municipal Code.

While the process was expected to get underway in early July 2013, there have been some delays in getting the project started. While we initially anticipated that the main auditorium would be completed by our September 6"Governing Board meeting, a more likely completion is now looking more likely right before the November I" Board meeting. The rest of the conference center rooms will be scheduled for upgrade following the main auditorium. Since the main auditorium and other rooms used for City Council meetings will be unavailable these months, the monthly lease payments made by the City to SCAQMD will be waived during this time. 'Staff will keep you abreast of the schedule as it progresses. We apologize for any inconvenience this upgrade to our facilities may cause you, and your patience is very much appreciated. In the end, both the City of Diamond Bar and the SCAQMD will all benefit from a fully functional, state-of-the-art audio visual system.
