JANUARY 19, 2016 PAGE 3 CITY COUNCIL The median turf along Diamond Bar Boulevard was changed out from the southerly to the northerly part of the City as a result of a successful an MWD rebate of about $540,000 which will help the City further reduce its water consumption. To date, the City continues to proceed with its efforts to reduce water consumption in medians, parks, etc by about 50 percent.

Debbie Avila -Mott, Diamond Bar Women's Club, invited the City Council and community (ages 21 and over) to participate in the third annual Roaring Twenties Casino Night on Saturday, February 6 from 6:30 to 11:00 p.m. at the Royal Vista Golf Course. Tickets are $65 per person which includes a sit-down dinner, dance, games, a $50 bag of chips and complimentary glass of wine. There will be a silent auction and all proceeds go toward student scholarships and charities. Lazaros Papadevetropoulos said he is an architect and was asked by residents of The Country Estates to review the Environmental Impact Report for the Millennium Project. He provided a copy of his report to the City Council Members for their review. In the course of reviewing the-EIR he found certain red flags and improprieties and said he did not know the legal implications of these items but spoke about work being done in connection with the tree permit process prior to clearance from the proper agencies. John Maloney, 22740 Ridgeline Road said he has resided in Diamond Bar for 51 years and has been a member of The Country Estates for 30 years and wanted to convey to the City Council that the majority of the property owners in the Diamond Bar Country Estates oppose the Millennium Project for a number of reasons including the project wanting access to The Country's roads to construct their project and not be subject to any of the rules that The Country's vendors and residents are subject to. In the long term there is the potential for a huge financial liability to the Association. Ray Marwah, 2878 Oak Knoll Drive, said he was opposed to the Millennium Project primarily because he does not believe 45 homeowners will be able to take on the responsibility of the storm water drainage, sewer and slope maintenance which LA County has refused to touch which is, in his opinion, a recipe for disaster for the 45 units and the 890 members of The Country. He asked the City Council to require Millennium to put up a cash bond for the amount that will be needed to maintain these services for the next 20 years. JANUARY 19, 2016 PAGE 4 CITY COUNCIL Michelle Yi, 2865 Woodbridge Court talked about the two gates that were built in 1970 to serve the 547 homes plus a number of vacant lots which existed at that time. During the past 40 years many of the lots have been built out and have been annexed into The Country which now has 890 homes and she felt the original two gates are operating at 30 percent beyond what was originally intended. The gates are beyond capacity which is a nuisance and The Country cannot accommodate 48 more homes without significantly affecting the daily lives of of the 890 current homeowners. Kurt Nelson, Millennium Diamond Road, said that the history of the Millennium Development has been terribly misrepresented with respect to the ownership. Mr. and Mrs. Chung purchased most of the parcels beginning in the 1990's and have stayed on board all of the way through. There was an eastern based company called Millennium Pacific Icon Group that became a 50 percent co- owner along with Mr. and Mrs. Chung and their company Diamond Road Partners LLC (about 2004). The Millennium Pacific Icon Group went through at least one bankruptcy and perhaps more. Mr. and Mrs. Chung never wavered and put all of their resources into this development and stepped up and purchased MPIG's 50 percent interest when the bankruptcy court put it up for sale. The company he works for, Wa Ching became the new 50 percent owner of the property which is a company that has never been financially stronger. The assertion that this developer has no "staying power" in this venture is an insult to the time, lifeblood and resources that the Chung's have put into it and Wa Ching has much more money than JCC Homes for instance. Mr. Nelson stated that he was one of the principals involved in subdividing four tracts behind the gates of The Country Estates including Crystal Ridge where Ms. Yi and Mr. Marwah live and they served on his HOA Board when he served on the board as the developer. While he has a lot of respect for many present this evening, it is unfair and completely disingenuous to pretend that this development is any different than the Crystal Ridge Development because it has the same access rights under the same recorded legal settlement agreement that Diamond Bar Country Estates signed off on in 1984. He knows because his company bought the company that originally developed The Country and he has spoken with their principals and their attorney and this 48 lot project, which is the last behind the gates, was always planned to be a part of this development. Ms. Yi's contention that all of a sudden the gates are a nightmare and this is going to be a terrible thing is completely disingenuous. Mr. Nelson stated that the issues that Mr. Marwah raised, he has attempted to address for more than a year at this microphone with anyone who wished to discuss them. LA County's position was not that they did not want to "touch" the sewer lift station with a "ten foot pole" but as CM/DeStefano pointed out during a very large, public forum and as he knows from working on this project, the County changed its policy after the development of Crystal Ridge. At some point after he handled the sanitation district annexation of Crystal Ridge by providing a windmill sewer lift station into the county, the county changed its policy. This JANUARY 19, 2016 PAGE 5 CITY COUNCIL development has a budget and it is not that expensive to maintain a sewer lift station. The people who buy these homes can afford the dues. The subdivision process requires subdivision improvement bonds and they will be posted. Anyone who wishes to call him to discuss any of these issues further can call him at 714-272-1610. Lew Herndon said he has been on the Parks and Recreation Commission for 10 years and is before the Council this evening representing the Diamond Bar Community Foundation Sports Fields Committee. The Foundation is involved in many community issues and the purpose of the Foundation is to raise funds and add to the services offered by the City. The Sports Field Committee has raised about $65,000 to help the City acquire, refurbish or in some way enhance and add to the sports fields that are currently available in the City. The decades old problem that dates back to when the community was first master planned did not allow for enough parks in the City which was substantiated by the Parks and Recreation Master Plan which was composed a few years ago. The City has an opportunity to acquire additional land to be used for the sports fields and encouraged the City Council to do everything within their power to solve the deficiency problem. The -Foundation will continue to work diligently to execute fundraising events to assist in this venture and raise community awareness. Wayne Goodwin said that to follow up on what Mr. Herndon said, there is a behind -the -scenes benefit to having sports and what they provide the youth and the community. There is a vacancy in the northwest section of Diamond Bar. The City has parks and places where community members can jog and workout including Diamond Bar High School, Chaparral Middle School, Lorbeer Middle School, Paul C. Grow and Pantera Parks. The northwest portion is a significant part of the City that needs a park. In addition, the benefits of the park if it could be a state-of-the-art facility would allow youth and adult community members to congregate and create a sense of community from which can develop a sense of foundation which can be built upon. Kids learn the benefits of being outdoors and being members of teams which can be utilized throughout their lives for success in applying to colleges and beyond. He encouraged the City Council to buy the property and develop into a park to give the youth and adults a place to congregate and interact. Crystal Spindler, Public Information Officer for the Diamond Bar Community Foundation and Editor for The Windmill. She announced that the Foundation will host its first ever Run/Walk for Kids, a 1 K fun run for kids ages 12 and under and 5K Run/Walk for all ages on Sunday morning, March 20 starting at the SCAQMD. In addition to the Run/Walks, the event will feature a Fitness and Business Expo, a warmup by a St. Jude fitness expert, an awards ceremony and opening of the races by Miss California USA Nadia Mejia. All participants will receive T -Shirts, all 1K racers will receive a medal and the top three finishers of the 5K will also receive medals. The purpose of the event is to raise awareness for the Diamond Bar Community Foundation's Fields for Kids Program, to promote a healthy Rfestyle and to raise funds and enhance Diamond Bar's sports fields. Anyone JANUARY 19, 2016 PAGE 6 CITY COUNCIL C1 F'1 who is interested in sponsoring this event please visit www.thedbcf.org for information regarding sponsorship levels. Please register for this event at www.thedbcf.orq to run and walk for the kids. Christopher Kim, President, Diamond Bar Tennis Club Community Association HOA, that his HOA is having problems with its board members and in order to fix the problem according to Corporate Codes 8333 and 8334 the board has to follow but there is no city, state of federal government entity available to help fix these problems and he is asking the Council for help with this issue. Chow Ten felt the Millennium Project developer's goal was to make a profit/money which is a different issue from the residents' issues. He respectfully asked the City Council and City Manager to listen to what the residents want which is the resolution to the access issue. 5.1 Los Angeles County Park Needs Assessment Public Meeting hosted by LA County — January 21, 2016 — 7:00 p.m., Diamond Bar Center, 1600 Grand Avenue. 5.2 Alex Morgan Celebration — January 24, 2016 — 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. — Pantera Park, 738 Pantera Drive. 5.3 Planning Commission Meeting — January 26, 2016 — 7:00 p.m., Windmill Community Room, 21810 Copley Drive. 5.4 Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting — January 28, 2015 — 7:00 p.m., Windmill Community Room, 21810 Copley Drive (canceled). 5.5 City Council Meeting — February 2, 2016 — 6:30 p.m., AQMD Government Center Auditorium, 21865 Copley Drive. 6.

ADOPTED ORDI • 0 (2016): AMENDING CHAPTER 8.14 OF THE DIAMOND BAR MUNICIPAL CODE RELATINI TO WATER EFFICIENT LANDSCAPING. r ADOPTED URGENCY ORDINANCENO. i 16AMENDING TITLE B, CHAPTER 8.14 OF DIAMOND MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING• WATER EFFICIENT LANDSCAPING, 7.1 FIRST READING — ORDINANCE NO. 03(2016): AMENDING SECTION 1.04.010 OF TITLE 1 AND VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF TITLE 6 OF THE DIAMOND BAR CITY CODE RELATING TO PENALTIES AND CIVIL REMEDIES FOR OFFENSES PERTAINING TO ANIMAL REGULATIONS. CM/DeStefano introduced DCM/McLean who reported that before the City Council this evening is First Reading of an ordinance amending Section 1.04.010 of Title 1 as well as, various sections of Title 6 which is also known as the City's animal code. The City's contract animal care control service provider is Inland Valley Humane Society (IVHS) which is authorized by City Council resolution to enforce the animal code. Currently, IVHS must seek compliance via the criminal court system or misdemeanor complaints filed by the City Prosecutor in case of any violations of the City's animal code. Seeking animal code compliance in the courts can be a cumbersome and lengthy process and sometimes that hinders the primary goal which is to reach compliance with the animal code in the most efficient and timely manner. JANUARY 19, 2016 PAGE 8 CITY COUNCIL In cases that may not require criminal prosecution, the administrative citation civil fine process offers an alternative. As shown by the City's Neighborhood Improvement Officers, use of administrative citations to remedy property based code violations is an effective additional enforcement tool — it is more localized, it is less complicated than the courts and it can often result in rapid compliance with the code. Section 1.04.010 limits the use of administrative citations by identified enforcement officers to those provisions of the code that are specifically identified in subsection (d). Therefore, to implement the use of administrative citations by IVHS to reach animal code compliance, staff recommends that the City Council approve First Reading of Ordinance 03(2016) which includes the following amendments: 1) Amend subsection 1.04.010 (d) to add the chapters of the animal code that could be enforced with administrative citations. 2) Revise various provisions throughout the animal code to identify the IVHS Executive Director and his deputies or animal control officers as authorized enforcement officers giving them the ability to issue those citations. 3) Amend subsection 6.08630 (b) of the animal code to essentially correct an error that refers to enforcement by "infractions" but points to the section pertaining to "definitions" rather than the correct section pertaining to enforcement by "infraction" citations. With no questions, by Council, M/Lyons opened the Public Hearing at 7:54 p.m. With no one present who wished to speak on this item, M/Lyons closed the Public Hearing. MPT/Lin asked how the City would enforce this particular code. DCM/McLean responded that IVHS is the enforcement arm for the animal code and they generally work directly with the animal owner/complainant to attempt to resolve the matter. If it is something that requires additional enforcement IVHS uses the local Superior Court (Pomona) system. M/Herrera moved, MPT/Lin seconded, to approve for First Reading Ordinance No. 03(2016): Amending Section 1.04.010 of Title 1 and Various Provisions of Title 6 of the Diamond Bar City Code relating to Penalties and Civil Remedies for Offenses pertaining to Animal Regulations. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Herrera, Tye, MPT/Lin, M/Lyons NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Low JANUARY 19, 2016 PAGE 9 CITY COUNCIL 8.1 ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2016-01: ADJUSTING EXISTING ANIMAL LICENSE FEES. CM/DeStefano said that this freestanding companion piece is asking the City Council to consider adjusting the existing animal license fees specifically for dogs and not for cats. The City has not adjusted the fees for several years. He introduced DCM/McLean who provided staffs report. DCM/McLean stated that this is another item related to the City's animal care and control program. Staff is recommending adoption of Resolution No. 2016-01 which would adjust dog license fees for the first time since 2007. The City's animal care and control program is administered under contract with Inland Valley Humane Society (IVHS) and since incorporation, IVHS has offered fixed -cost contracts to its member agencies of which the City is one. Under these terms the members have been guaranteed a fixed annual rate. The collective license penalty and service fees that are generated within the City go to offset the total cost of the service. The total cost of the service is based on a population -based formula under which the City is 6'Y2 percent of IVHS's total cost for administering its services. Any surplus or balance between locally generated revenues and contract costs then belongs to IVHS. In Fiscal Year 2015-16 the City's costs are approximately $123,000 out-of- pocket after factoring in local revenues Beginning in Fiscal Year 2016-17 IVHS will no longer enter into these fixed -cost contracts and will instead be billing members monthly for any balance not met by license penalty and other service fees. In the event surplus revenue is generated in a canvasing year under these new contracts those dog fees will be placed into escrow account and can be used in future years to offset costs during non-canvasing years when revenues are generally lower. Staff anticipates that the change in terms will result in increased costs. In order to generate offsetting revenue and because the City is already subsidizing animal care and control costs with General Fund dollars each year, staff recommends that the City Council consider adjustments to dog license fee rates. This request does not ask for adjustments to existing cat license fees. To come up with its recommendation, staff surveyed the dog license fees for all IVHS contract agencies plus two others that use Los Angeles and San Bernardino County services. This survey found that Diamond Bar's current rates of $15 for altered (spayed or neutered dogs) and $35 far unaltered dogs are well below the median and average rates of all 11 agencies surveyed. JANUARY 19, 2016 PAGE 10 CITY COUNCIL In order to bring the City's rates in line with the market and to reduce subsidies it is recommended that dog license fees be adjusted as follows: For altered dogs the recommendation is to increase the dog license fee to $20 (survey average was $19.27 with the survey median at $20.00); For unaltered dogs the recommendation is $50 (survey average was $54.82 and the median was $50.00) The senior altered recommended rate is $10 (survey average $7.82 and survey median $5.00) He noted that the City's Municipal Code in the animal code section when setting rates sets the senior rates at one-half that of the general altered rate of $20 and one-half of that amount is the recommended $10.00. Staff estimates that the recommended fee adjustments will generate from $32,000 to $54,000 per year depending on whether or not it is a canvasing year. This new revenue will help reduce the ongoing contract subsidies but it is important to note that this recommendation is not a full cost - recovery solution and it will not eliminate General Fund subsidies altogether. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2016-01: Adjusting Existing Animal License Fees. C/Herrera asked if this agreement was good for only one year. DCM/McLean explained that the City's current contract expires at the end of this fiscal year, June 30, 2016 and at that point the City would enter into a new contract if it chose to do so. C/Herrera asked how long the contract would last DCM/McLean said it would depend on how the City would negotiate the contract. Usually, the contracts are negotiated for a three-year term with extension options. C/Herrera asked how it is determined who has an "altered" dog and an "unaltered" dog. DCM/McLean said he believed those questions were addressed during the ]VHS canvas and owners would provide proof of alteration. MPT/Lin asked what defined a "senior" altered dog DCM/McLean responded that the dog's owner would be 60 years or older and the dog would be spayed or neuter which provides seniors discounts similar to other program discounts that are offered. M/Lyons asked what the current cat license fee is. JANUARY 19, 2016 PAGE 11 CITY COUNCIL DCM/McLean responded $5.00 for an altered cat and $10 for an unaltered cat. M/Lyons asked the theory behind not increasing the cat license fee. DCM/McLean said that those fees were in line with what staff saw in the marketplace and it did not seem appropriate to move the fees outside of that level. MPT/Lin asked for confirmation that if a senior citizen owns an unaltered dog they will pay $50 for the fee. DCM/McLean confirmed that the "unaltered" rate applies to all dog owners with unaltered pets. MPT/Lin questioned why there were only three categories and that the senior discount did not include "unaltered" dogs. DCM/McLean explained that the purpose behind the tiered rates for unaltered dogs is to ensure responsible breeding and to unwanted dogs and the impact on shelters. This is a way that most municipalities have chosen to attempt to guide owners to breed responsibly. If they are going to have unaltered dogs they are more likely to pay that fee to do it the right way to make sure those dogs do not end up unwanted or in a shelter. C/Herrera moved, C/Tye seconded to approve Resolution No. 2016-01: Adjusting Existing Animal License Fees as recommended by staff. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Herrera, Tye, MPT/Lin, M/Lyons NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: None ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Low 9. COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS AND MEETING ATTENDANCE REPORTS/COUNCIL MEMBER COMMENTS: C/Tye congratulated everyone who participated in the Through My Lens Photo Contest and the winners who were present this evening. In looking at the photos one would not imagine being in a populated area. He especially appreciated the "Stairway to the Heavens" photo. Thanks to everyone who took the time to take those pictures and share them with everyone. He attended Contract Cities last week and was able to be in Sacramento and represent the City and discuss issues with the City's legislators and make them aware that they will be held accountable. There was much discussion about Proposition 47 and its impacts to local communities and law enforcement. It is important to get it right and believed that they were all on notice and appreciated the information that JANUARY 19, 2016 PAGE 12 CITY COUNCIL Contract Cities and the group brought to them. He hoped everyone would take the time to participate in the LA County Parks Needs Assessment public meeting. The City heard from Mr. Goodwin and Mr. Herndon this evening and the public meeting is the opportunity to tell LA County what it is that this City needs and would like to see. He does not believe there will be enough money to go around. He attended a planning session for some of the County's programs and he believed he heard the County would be visiting over 200 communities for input. So it is very important that not unlike the Big Fix, it is important to get on the agenda for the public meeting and let LA County know what is needed. The City has a parks inventory deficit and the meeting presents a great opportunity to share with the County how important this issue is to Diamond Bar. Let your friends and neighbors know that they too can provide their input. C/Herrera congratulated the awardees of the Through My Lens Photo Contest. She is very impressed with the caliber of talent in Diamond Bar and how talented many of the youth photographers are. Great quality photos and a very impressive display. She hoped everyone would come out on Sunday, January 24 to greet Alex Morgan, hometown hero and Gold Medal winner to join in celebrating one of Diamond Bar's own. MPT/Lin commented on last Saturday's Snow Fest. He attended the event along with C/Tye, C/Herrera and other community members and was honored to speak on behalf of M/Lyons. It was a fun day he felt everyone enjoyed. He too asked that everyone join in the celebration of local heroine Alex Morgan. M/Lyons said that last week she spoke to three dens of Cub Scouts which was a lot of fun. She spoke with them about Municipal Government so that they could earn their Merit Badge. At the end of the evening she asked them what they felt could make Diamond Bar a better place. They had some really good answers, some of which are being worked on by City staff and what they had to say made a difference! There are three different commissions in the City of Diamond Bar including Parks and Recreation Commission, Traffic and Transportation Commission and the Planning Commission. Each Council Member has an appointee that serve on each of the Commissions. These appointments will be coming up at the end of February so anyone who is interested in serving on any of these Commissions needs to complete an application which will be online by the end of week or visit City Hall for a hard copy. She hoped to see everyone on Sunday at Pantera Park at 10:00 a.m. to greet Alex Morgan. JANUARY 19, 2016 PAGE 13 CITY COUNCIL ADJOURNMENT: Regular City Council adjourned at 8:50 p.m. With no further business to conduct, M/Lyons adjourned the Meeting at 8:12 to continue the Closed Session which was T M E CRIBBINS, CITY CLERK The foregoing minutes are hereby approved this 2nd day of February 2016.
