Presentation

COMMUNITY INPUT

Ms. Marie Pabon stated she is a member of the ACORN and is concerned about the drugs in her neighborhood. ACORN is a nation-wide organization that gets involved with communities.

Mr. Ronald Wilson stated he has resided in Highland for 15 years. He has concerns with a business located on San Francisco and Base Line. This business is an automotive repair business which will test drive the vehicles after the repairs have been done on San Francisco Street. These test drives are usually done at a very high rate of speed. Children are not able to play in this area as cars will come and go at all times of the day.

Ms. Christina Perry stated she is the new chairperson for ACORN which stands for Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. This is a non-profit organization which is based in local communities to address local issues. In the City of Highland there are 70 active members.

Councilman McCallon inquired how ACORN differs from our local neighborhood watch groups.

Ms. Christina Perry responded ACORN deals directly with city officials and have gone to Sacramento to address national issues. They try to empower homes individually and deal with the community as a whole rather than one neighborhood at a time.

Mr. Tom Stack stated he is a representative of the Neighborhood Watch Program. He wants to thank Council for approving the noise ordinance to take effect May 25, 2008. His group had reported many boom boxes playing loud music in driveways and roadways. His group has great concerns for the vehicle and shopping cart vendors. The group is concerned with the health and safety of their children. They are requesting for all vendors to have a business license, get fingerprinted with a background check, code enforcement will verify vendor ID when seen or reported with vehicle registration, licensing, insurance to be verified. If not verified, vehicle and goods are to be confiscated immediately.

13. An Ordinance of the City of Highland Extending the Interim Zoning Ordinance Prohibiting the Establishment of Marijuana Dispensaries in any Zoning District within the City

Community Development Director Jaquess stated the Council adopted an interim zoning ordinance about two months ago that implemented this prohibition for, at that time, a 45-day period. This will extend the prohibition for another period of time that will equal a total period of time of two years. During the two year period, staff and the City Attorney will be working to monitor not only changes in law but court decisions that are pending that will affect this particular subject. We hope to come back with a formal, final recommendation as quickly as possible. No more than 20-22 months from now.

Mayor Lilburn opened the public hearing. She requested any speakers in favor or in opposition. Hearing none she closed the public hearing.

A MOTION was made by Mayor Pro Tem Jones, seconded by Councilwoman Scott, to adopt Interim Zoning Ordinance No. 326 to extend the interim zoning ordinance prohibiting the establishment of marijuana dispensaries in any zoning district within the City. Motion carried, 5-0.

14. An Application Submitted by Mr. Young Shin for a General Plan Amendment (GPA 007-001) to Amend General Plan Chapter 2, Land Use Element, to allow Drive-through Type Commercial Uses and Structures in a Larger Area of the City’s Town Center Community Policy Area

Community development Director Jaquess stated this item was brought back after the hearing that was held at the last Council meeting. At that time, Council indicated they wished to approve the General Plan amendment and staff has prepared a resolution to adopt that would implement the action.

Mayor Lilburn opened the public hearing. She requested any speakers in favor or in opposition. Hearing none she closed the public hearing.

Councilman McCallon stated Council took action which is the opposite of what the Planning Commission did and it is no reflection on what the Planning Commission did because they do an outstanding job of doing their work. Sometimes we have to put more of a political spin on wise planning decisions. He did want the Planning Commission to think that Council feels they are not doing an outstanding job because they have been and it appreciated.

Councilwoman Scott stated she would like to add to or have the Council consider on this particular issue the city is the one that added nine other properties. So, nine other owners will benefit, if they desire to have a drive through on their property. She does not feel that Mr. Shin should have to pay the full price for the General Plan Amendment because nine other property owners are going to get the benefit of what he has done and the city is the one that added the nine. So, she thinks the city should do the General Plan Amendment and if he has paid for the General

Plan fee, it should be refunded. It seems fair.

Mayor Lilburn stated this is just a General Plan Amendment. This does not guarantee that anyone qualifies for a drive through. They still have to go through the process.

Councilwoman Scott stated this is true but if any of these other nine people want to have one they are not going to have pay for the General Plan Amendment. All they have to do is go to the Planning Commission and get the approval that way. The way has already been cleared for these nine other properties at Mr. Shin’s expense.

Councilman Timmer stated the applicant initiated the application which was charged a standard fee. Whether we did one parcel or nine parcels the cost would have been the same. He assumes since the applicant had a direct interest in getting this approved, he paid the fee. He feels it is appropriate that he paid the costs because there is no other benefit to the other parties as they still have to go through CUP process or whatever they have to do to get an approval. He does not believe subsidizing this application is necessary.

Councilwoman Scott state but the other nine people, if they want to have a drive through, they are not going to have to pay for a General Plan Amendment.

Mayor Lilburn stated we went through a General Plan process that took us years that people could have come in and challenged the zoning at that time.

A MOTION was made by Councilman McCallon, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Jones, to Adopt a Negative Declaration and instruct the City Clerk to file a Notice of Determination, and Approve Resolution No. 2008-013 approving General Plan Amendment 007-001, Amending General Plan Chapter 2, Land Use Element, Goal 2.10, Policy 10) to allow Drive-through type commercial uses and structures on ten (10) properties within the City’s Town Center Policy Area. Motion carried, 5-0.

RESOLUTION NO. 2008-013

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HIGHLAND, CALIFORNIA, DENYING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT APPLICATION

007-001 AMENDING GENERAL PLAN CHAPTER 2, LAND USE ELEMENT, GOAL 2.10., POLICY NO. 10 TO EXPAND THE AREA FOR DRIVE-THROUGH COMMERCIAL STRUCTURES AND CONVENIENCE COMMERCIAL USES IN THE TOWN CENTER COMMUNITY POLICY AREA

CITY COUNCIL/REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY LEGISLATIVE

15. Leave of Absence from Planning Commission - Richard Haller

City Clerk Hughes stated Planning Commission Richard Haller has been called to active duty from his reserves. He will be serving in Iraq for a term of eight months.

Councilman McCallon stated he is in favor of granting the leave of absence. Can Council make a temporary appointment for the eight month term?

City Attorney Steele responded yes, as long as it a limited duration appointment and not a definite one.

Councilman McCallon stated he would like to appoint someone for that nine month interim. Obviously it will take some time to get up to speed on the Planning Commission and the City of Highland activities. He has thought we might appoint Sam Racadio for the nine month appointment. He has spoken to him and he has agreed as long as the City Council is in agreement with the appointment.

City Attorney Steele stated any appointment would need to be on the agenda but the Maddy Act process is not needed for a limited duration alternate. The only action that could be taken this evening is to direct staff to include the appointment on the next agenda.

Councilwoman Scott stated she thinks it should be open.

Councilman Timmer stated if there are some quorum issues, by the time we follow the announcement of availability, review the applications and then the only issue would be is if we would have an applicant who would serve for a limited time.

Mayor Lilburn stated would it be considered to call the applicants who have applied in the past to see if they are interested in serving as an alternate.

Councilman Timmer stated he was looking at how quickly we could get someone to serve the city that will not have any educational process to go through months to learn the job. Mr. Racadio could participate right away and would fit right in with the process. If we were to open it up to the public he would rather leave the position vacant rather than take the time to train as this would be quite lengthy.

Councilwoman Scott stated we have other citizens that are serving on other committees that are familiar with the system.

Councilman McCallon stated citizens cannot serve on two committees at the same time.

Councilwoman Scott stated true but we also have citizens who have been on committees in the past. She does not like the appearance of a done deal. She feels all citizens should be given the opportunity to serve the city.

Mayor Lilburn stated have Mr. Racadio fill out an application and in the interim have City Clerk Hughes phone the other past applicants to see if there is any interest.

A MOTION was made by Mayor Pro Tem Jones, seconded by Councilman Timmer, to grant a leave of absence to Richard Haller, Planning Commission Committee Member. Motion carried, 5-0.

16. Consideration of a Resolution Determining the Amount of Property Tax Revenues to be Exchanged between the City of Highland and the City of San Bernardino as a result of the proposed David Chong Annexation/Detachment Request before Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO)

Councilman McCallon stated he would like to excuse himself from this discussion as it is a conflict of interest to him because his son is the owner of the property.

Community Development Director Jaquess gave a brief review of the staff report.

A MOTION was made by Mayor Pro Tem Jones, seconded by Councilman Timmer, to adopt Resolution No. 2008-014 determining the amount of property tax revenues to be exchanged between the City of San Bernardino and the City of Highland resulting from the jurisdictional change described by LAFCO 3096 for a single 3.62 acre property located at the northern terminus of Applewood Street (APN: 1199-341-15). Motion carried, 4-1, with Councilman McCallon abstaining due to a conflict of interest.

RESOLUTION NO. 2008-014

Director of Administrative Services Dantuono gave a brief review of the staff report.

A MOTION was made by Councilwoman Scott, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Jones, to adopt the attached resolution, endorsing the reform campaign and calling on the municipal bond agencies to end discrimination in the rating of municipal bonds, a practice that has cost taxpayers untold billions of dollars in interest costs in recent decades. Motion carried, 5-0.

20. Lease Agreement between the City of Highland and the County of San Bernardino for the Highland Sam Racadio Library and Environmental Learning Center

City Manager Hughes gave a brief review of the staff report. The lease is for a 20-year term with two 5-year options with the rent being $1 per year. The county is agreeing to maintain the interior of the building, with the city maintaining the exterior of the building and the city also will be responsible for major service of the HVAC systems as well as the elevator. The county will be responsible for the cleaning of the solar panels. The rooftop garden will be the responsibility of the county. The county will provide the personnel and the books for the facility. The city has provided a large part of the computer furnishings and equipment through the various grants that have been received. The lease have been reviewed and approved by the County Counsel, City of Highland attorney and the Public Facilities Subcommittee. Councilwoman Scott stated when it was stated that the solar panels will be cleaned by the county but the service and maintenance will be done by the city. What is the difference between maintenance and cleaning?

City Manager Hughes stated a solar panel is stationary. There is really nothing to maintain. If it were to become damaged or a panel becomes non functional, we would have to take care of it. Cleaning is the majority of maintaining the panels.

Councilwoman Scott stated the county is responsible for interior damage, which would be responsible for replacement of damaged items.

City Manager Hughes stated there is an insurance policy on the building.

Councilwoman Scott stated how much input will the city have once the county takes over such as room rentals for meetings and educational classes.

City Manager Hughes stated if it is a city sponsored event the county will work with the city. If it is a non-city sponsored event the group will have to work with the county.

Councilwoman Scott stated once the county assumes leadership, how much leverage will the city have in naming a facility after Harriet Foucher?

City Manager Hughes stated this request is something we could simply negotiate and work with the county on. It is not covered in the lease.

City Attorney Steele stated we retain the right to provide exterior signage and interior signage.

A MOTION was made by Councilman McCallon, seconded by Councilwoman Scott, to approve the lease agreement between the City of Highland and the County of San Bernardino for the Highland Sam Racadio Library and Environmental Learning Center. Motion carried, 5-0.

21. A Request for a Special Event Permit by the Highland Relay for Life Committee, in Conjunction with the City as a Co-Sponsor, for the First Annual “Relay for Life” on May 31 through June 1, 2008, at Highland Community Park

City Manager Hughes gave a brief review of the staff report.

Ms. Annette Mendenhall stated the Relay for Life Event has secured parking at Cypress Elementary for any overflow parking. Barricades and cones are no longer needed as of yet as previously requested. No street closures will be conducted.

Councilwoman Scott stated she has concerns for having two big events on the same day and same location that will be the grand opening of the library and the Relay for Life Event.

Ms. Annette Mendenhall stated she is excited about the large crowds as this will make the public aware of the beautiful facilities that Highland has to offer and this will also let people attending the relay know about the new library and for library attendees to visit the relay event.

Councilman McCallon inquired about the noise levels and if there will be a PA system utilized.

Ms. Annette Mendenhall responded the PA system will not be utilized after 10:00 p.m. and the noise levels will be down after this time as well.

Councilwoman Scott stated she has concerns supporting a “blank check”. She would like to put a limit on the actual costs.

City Manager Hughes stated this will be difficult to do as we have never done this event before.

A MOTION was made by Councilman Timmer, seconded by Councilman McCallon, to approve the Relay for Life Committee’s request for co-sponsorship and provide comments and direction to staff, as appropriate, and authorize staff to install a street banner for the event across Base Line. Motion carried, 5-0.

A MOTION was made by Mayor Pro Tem Jones, seconded by Councilman McCallon, to support Assembly Bill 2593 and send a letter to Anthony Adams and the City’s legislative representatives in support of this bill. Motion carried, 5-0.

24. Update on SANBAG, SCAG, Omnitrans, Work Program and Regional/Legislative Issues/Development Issues/Subcommittees/AB 1234 Updates

Councilman McCallon stated at the last SANBAG meeting the Nexus Study Update and cost escalation factors were discussed. Two items were addressed; a jurisdiction could update their Nexxus Study cost by using the five year running average of the Cal Trans index which would be 12.9% and use that as a cost escalation factor or the project cost could be updated based on the detailed project by project review. The BIA suggested another option which could be adding an option for the jurisdiction not to escalate at all. The Board agreed to adopt this additional option. The reason for the options is based on the Caltrans index, the escalation factor, the annual change in 2004 was 45.5% increase, in 2005 it was 24.1% , in 2006 it was 4.6% and last year it was a -6.9%. The Board also took position of opposing Proposition 98 and to support Proposition 99. The opposition of Prop 98 was by California Transportation Commission, Caltrans and the Governor of California. Supporting Proposition 99 is an initiative that deals with eminent domain and it will prohibit government from using eminent domain to take a single family home or condominium for purpose of transferring it to another private party. At the SCAG meeting the budget was approved and at the annual meeting bylaw changes were approved as well as organizational changes.

Councilman Timmer stated he is the representative for Flood Control District Zones 2 and 3. There are two projects listed within the City of Highland, the first being in zone 3 and it is being proposed to extend Elder Gulch to the Village from Merris south towards Plunge Creek. It is proposed in the 2008-2009 budgets with an expenditure of $900,000. The largest percentage of revenue coming into the Flood Control this year is convention fund reimbursements from projects that have been done by the State but with pending issues in Sacramento these funds may be held for a time. He would not like to lose the opportunity to have this project constructed before the monies are taken away for whatever reasons. He would like to discuss the possibility of having the city enter some kind of reimbursement agreement with the county in case these funds disappear. The second project is in zone 2 is the Warm Creek/Sand Creek drains. The city has been working for the last 4 years getting some monies from Flood Control to do some of the basic engineering and some environmental work. However based on the shortage of dollars and other higher priority projects it is now being estimated the funds being available till 2015. He would also like to discuss the possibility of the city funding some monies to get these projects constructed within the next year or two with the understanding we would get reimbursed when the funds become available from the county. He would suggest this item be referred back to the Public Works Subcommittee to review the options that are available and then come back to Council with a recommendation. In the interim he would like to suggest staff write a correspondence to Flood Control District which states the City Council is willing to enter into agreements with the county on the two projects, Elder Gulch and Warm Creek.

City Manager Hughes stated staff could write a letter to the County Flood Control stating the City Council is discussing the issue of these projects and it has been referred to a subcommittee that will present a recommendation to Council.

A MOTION was made by Councilman Timmer, seconded by Councilwoman Scott, to direct staff to write a letter to County Flood Control District stating the City Council is discussing the issue of reimbursement agreements of the projects Elder Gulch and Warm Springs and it has been referred to the Public Works Subcommittee for further discussion of funding alternatives. Motion carried, 5-0.

Mayor Lilburn stated the YMCA contract is coming up for review. She is on the Community Service Subcommittee and she would like to remain on this committee, therefore, she is releasing her position in reviewing the YMCA contract. She would like to have other Council Members be on this Ad Hoc Committee for the YMCA contract. Mayor Pro Tem Jones and Councilman Timmer volunteered to sit on this Ad Hoc Committee.
