PUBLIC HEARINGS
With the consensus of the City Council items 9 and 10 were handled simultaneously.
9. EXTENSION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (CUP) 99-01 -- THE HEIGHTS CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
City Attorney Colantuono presented a brief summary noting that the temporary CUP 99-01 pertains to the Heights Christian School's improvements for last year; operating a junior high school at 1225 N. Hacienda Road; and temporary plans to transport children to and from the site.
The second application is the permanent CUP to provide for the construction of new buildings, a meeting facility, additional parking, and the permanent on-site and off-site traffic circulation improvements.
The two decisions before the City Council this evening are: 1) how much longer will the City permit the school to operate on a temporary basis; and 2) what are the terms for the school's permanent home. The City Attorney continued that once the City Council approves the application, the City of La Habra then needs to give its approval since the neighboring city owns some of the land. With said entitlements, the applicant can then prepare drawings for review by City staff.
Following the posting of the agenda, a letter was received from the applicant's land-use attorney, Mr. Skolnik, in response to the resolution in this evening's agenda packet. City Attorney Colantuono stated that he prepared a revised redline-strikeout resolution in response to Mr. Skolnik's letter. The City Attorney explained his suggestions for the CUP revisions. Discussion ensued, the City Council had questions and comments.
Pursuant to discussion, City Attorney Colantuono said it sounds as if the City Council is inclined not to act on the permanent CUP tonight and grant the temporary CUP and conceptual approval of the site plan.
Steve Skolnik, 2800 28th Street, Santa Monica, explained that he is a municipal and land-use attorney and has been retained to assist the applicant's current attorney. Mr. Skolnik continued that there are concerns regarding liquidated damages and bonding requirements in the City Attorney's redline, strikeout draft resolution. Most of the remaining concerns are related to issues with the City of La Habra. However, he questioned which resolution the Council is considering this evening--the Planning resolution in the agenda packet or the City Attorney's redline-strikeout version.
City Attorney Colantuono responded with a recommendation that the City Council review both resolutions.
Discussion ensued regarding the timing of the information received and the difficulty of making decision with little time to study the materials. The City Council indicated that it will not decide on written matters presented less then 72 hours prior to the meeting.
Discussion ensued regarding procedural concerns. Councilmember Klein indicated that some items cannot be approved until La Habra Heights knows if the City of La Habra will approve. Staff offered some suggestions as to language in the CUP to render a workable situation.
Councilmember Klein said that he is in favor of extending the temporary CUP until the end of the current school year. He emphasized, however, that he would not be willing to grant any further extensions beyond June 30, 2002.
A motion was offered by Councilmember Klein, which was seconded by Councilmember Millsap to adopt Resolution No. 01-34 as amended by the City Attorney, extending CUP 99-01 to June 30, 2002. The motion was approved as follows:
AYES: Borrowe, Carroll, Engelhardt, Klein, and Millsap
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
10. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (CUP) 2000-12 -- THE HEIGHTS CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
Based on the difficulty of making decisions regarding information just received, it was the consensus of the City Council to hold a special meeting.
A motion was offered by Mayor Pro Tem Carroll which was seconded by Councilmember Millsap that this public hearing item be continued to September 19, 2001, at 7:00 p.m. The motion was approved as follows:
AYES: Borrowe, Carroll, Engelhardt, Klein, and Millsap
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
11. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA HABRA HEIGHTS FINDING THE CITY TO BE IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (CMP) AND ADOPTING THE CMP LOCAL IMPLEMENTATION REPORT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65089
City Engineer Milano presented the staff report for the CMP Implementation Report and the proposed resolution in conformance with the Congestion Management Program. The State-mandated program requires the use of gas tax funds to reduce congestion and improve air quality.
The City Engineer continued that developing activities (debits) and transportation improvements (credits) are monitored by the City. A negative balance is considered in noncompliance and may result in the withholding of gas tax revenues. Based on construction and demolition activities in La Habra Heights between June 2000 - May 2001 for 18 new single-family homes, 122 debits were generated. Transportation activities totaled 588 credits for two traffic signal installations and the City's Dial-A-Ride service. It was concluded that the City remains in compliance with an overall credit balance of 2,276.
Mayor Engelhardt opened the public hearing. Since no one wished to speak, the public hearing was closed.
A motion was offered by Mayor Pro Tem Carroll which was seconded by Councilmember Borrowe to adopt Resolution No. 01-35 as entitled above. The motion was approved as follows:
AYES: Borrowe, Carroll, Engelhardt, Klein, and Millsap
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
OLD BUSINESS
12. PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE CHARTER
City Manager Lindsey provided a brief staff report indicating that staff feels the proposed public works committee is an extension of the current Roads Committee. This type of committee has worked well in other cities and staff does not anticipate a problem working with the committee members.
City Attorney Colantuono explained the process to form a public works committee by explaining the proposed resolution. It was also noted that the Roads Committee would be abandoned if the Council approves the formation of the public works committee.
It was the consensus of the City Council to continue this item to the October 11, 2001 meeting to follow advertisement of application for Roads Committee.
Councilmember Klein stated that although he is unable to attend the October meeting, he would like it known that said committee is an advisory committee and should not have oversight of City staff.
City Attorney Colantuono responded that oversight refers to policy. The word "oversight" in the mission statement he felt is appropriate in that it is the statement the Council sets out for the committee from job to job.
A motion was offered by Mayor Pro Tem Carroll, which was seconded by Councilmember Borrowe to continue this matter to the meeting of October 11, 2001. The motion was approved as follows:
AYES: Borrowe, Carroll, Engelhardt, Klein and Millsap
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
13. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA HABRA HEIGHTS ADOPTING AN OPERATING AND CAPITAL BUDGET FOR SAID CITY FOR THE FISCAL YEAR COMMENCING JULY 1, 2001, AND ENDING JUNE 30 2002, AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR PURPOSES THEREIN SET FORTH
City Manager Lindsey presented a brief staff report providing changes and suggestions made by the City Council and members of the Budget Committee for the sixth budget revision. Of particular note were the suggested $14,895 reduction cuts provided by the Budget Committee included in the staff report.
Councilmember Borrowe indicated that eliminating the team leader position would be approximately half of the $14,895 reductions proposed. He gave the following reasons why he favors cutting this police-service item: he said that the suggestion was presented by Sheriff's Department Captain with no reduction in services; the City has managed without a team leader for the last 8 months and other deputies have performed well in serving the City; and communication between City staff and the Sheriff's Department has improved with new personnel at Industry Station.
Councilmember Borrowe said that although the Council voted on this item at a previous meeting, he wished for the Council to reconsider. A motion was offered by Councilmember Borrowe, which was seconded by Mayor Engelhardt to reduce the budget by $7,300+ by eliminating the team leader position for police services. The motion failed as follows:
AYES: Borrowe and Engelhardt
NOES: Carroll, Klein, and Millsap
ABSENT: None
Discussion ensued regarding further budget reductions.
The City Manager requested that the $500 reduction for training meetings in the City Manager's budget not be cut in light of the new Senior Management Analyst's position which is funded 100% under the City Manager's budget.
A motion was offered by Mayor Pro Tem Carroll, which was seconded by Councilmember Klein to not reduce the City Manager's budget for training services. The motion failed as follows:
AYES: Carroll and Klein
NOES: Borrowe, Engelhardt, and Millsap
ABSENT: None
Discussion then ensued regarding contributions and, in particular, the high schools' grad-nite contributions, which are funded in the Council's Department budget. The City Manager believed that the contribution budget could be set at $5,000 and still meet all the anticipated expenditures. It was the consensus of the City Council to reduce the budget to $5,000.
A motion was offered by Mayor Pro Tem Carroll, which was seconded by Councilmember Borrowe to adopt Resolution No. 01-36 approving the 2001-2002 Annual Budget with the noted reductions (except: not eliminate the police services, team leader position and uphold Grad-Nite contributions). The motion was approved as follows:
AYES: Borrowe, Engelhardt, Klein, and Millsap
NOES: Engelhardt
ABSENT: None
Mayor Engelhardt explained that she voted nay because she disagreed with including the hiring of a new staff person designated in the 2001-2002 City Budget.
City Manager Lindsey said that the budget would be revised to include changes based on this evening's discussion.
14. REQUEST TO AWARD A CONTRACT FOR THE STUDY OF TRAFFIC CALMING FOR HACIENDA ROAD
Discussion ensued regarding having San Diego State University--California Technology Institute of Safety--do a safety evaluation for Hacienda Road (at no cost to the City).
A motion was offered by Councilmember Borrowe to proceed with the Hacienda Road safety study by San Diego State University. Following the outcome of the study, the City Council can then decide whether or not to proceed with a consultant to do the traffic calming study. The motion died due to the lack of a second.
City Attorney Colantuono said that if the advice is free, in writing, and if the City chooses not to proceed with recommendations made by San Diego State University, a rebuttal should be written by the City Engineer to legally justify the City's decision.
It was reported that September 24-25, 2001, is when the University can come to La Habra Heights, and Councilmember Millsap asked if the Council would like to proceed with the safety study. Due to concerns regarding legal ramifications, it was decided to have the City Engineer talk to the University regarding the program and the City's concerns. The City Engineer will then contact Councilmember Millsap and based the information received, a determination will be made whether or not to proceed with the safety analysis.
Marsha Coolidge and Glen Pedersen, Roads Committee Members spoke regarding interviews with the traffic calming consultants. Since all three consultants seemed to feel that striping would be most effective in reducing speed, the Committee recommended Tom Brohard & Associates. However, if the Council were inclined to seek additional options or the opinion of a consultant with more expertise, the recommendation would then be Austin-Foust & Associates. Another consideration regarding roadway striping was for RKA do the job since project plans have already been drawn. Furthermore if the Council decides to proceed with a traffic study, the Committee felt that the City Engineer could incorporate any roadway striping recommendations.
City Engineer Milano said that although RKA has a traffic engineer on staff and is capable of doing the striping for Hacienda Road, it would be his recommendation that the Council proceed with the traffic calming study so that all options may be taken under consideration.
A motion was offered by Councilmember Klein which was seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Carroll to have RKA make a recommendation regarding a traffic calming consultant and cost estimates for engineering and roadway striping. The motion failed as follows:
AYES: Carroll and Klein
NOES: Borrowe, Engelhardt, and Millsap
ABSENT: None
A motion was offered by Mayor Engelhardt which was seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Carroll that the City Engineer contact traffic calming consultant, Tom Brohard and get estimate on program without the accelerated time period. The motion was approved as follows:
AYES: Borrowe, Carroll, Engelhardt and Millsap
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: Klein
Award of contract was continued to the September 19, 2001 Special meeting.
15. HACIENDA ROAD LANDSCAPING
The landscaping contractor Sasha Tarnopolsky with Dry Design presented landscaped drawings for native drought-tolerant trees and shrubs suggested for planting along Hacienda Road across from The Park.
It was noted that Crimson is required to maintain the landscaped area for a three-year period, after which time this becomes the City's responsibility. Due to difficulties in getting water to the site, the architect suggested that cellulose cartridges called "dry water" be used. Following the established 2-3 year growth period, the native drought-tolerant trees and shrubs should sustain on rainwater.
A motion was offered by Councilmember Borrowe, which was seconded by Councilmember Klein, to plant Oak trees, Pepper trees, and Toyon shrubs. The motion was approved as follows:
AYES: Borrowe, Klein, and Millsap
NOES: Carroll and Engelhardt
ABSENT: None
The landscape architect said she will do the drawings and forward to the City Engineer to review.
NEW BUSINESS
16. ASSUMING CITY CONTROL OF WEED ABATEMENT SERVICES FOR UNIMPROVED PARCELS IN LA HABRA HEIGHTS
Fire Chief Nelson presented the staff report by presenting an overview of past weed abatement services for unimproved parcels.
Discussion ensued. Councilmember Klein said that he believes when services where turned over to the County, it was with the understanding that if a property owner does not pay for weed abatement services, the charge will be filed against the owners property taxes. Fire Chief Nelson responded that the County originally agreed to this, but then refused to continue weed clearance on properties where the owner had not paid by the second year.
Discussion then ensued regarding the poor quality of service under the County's program.
Fire Marshall Nielson said that his office can handle the City's weed abatement, and he would like the opportunity to improve the program. He said that with the concurrence of the City Council, compliance can be enforced under the California Penal Code.
Dave Dowell, City's Weed Abatement Contractor, said that with current computer programs, a property owner can be billed as soon as his/her property has been cleared. Pursuant to ensuing discussion, Mr. Dowell indicated that his company would be willing to do the billing for weed abatement services.
Councilmember Klein observed that the County is either not performing or not performing well. If the City takes back the weed abatement for unimproved parcels, staff needs to be aggressive with collections.
A motion was offered by Mayor Pro Tem Carroll, which was seconded by Councilmember Klein to assume weed abatement services for unimproved parcels and prepare to bid for service. The motion was approved as follows:
AYES: Borrowe, Carroll, Engelhardt, Klein and Millsap
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
Staff was directed to notify L. A. County, Department of Agricultural Weights and Measures - Weed Abatement Division, regarding Council's action taken this evening for the City to withdraw from the County's weed abatement program. Said notification needs to be received by the County prior to November 30, 2001.
It was the consensus of the City Council to place the City's weed abatement program on the December 13, 2001 Council agenda.

20. CALIFORNIA LAW ENFORCEMENT EQUIPMENT PROGRAM (CLEEP) EXPENDITURES
Captain Binkley of the County Sheriff's Department, Industry Station, provided an overview of the program for CLEEP expenditures. The original intent of the program was to delegate the grant funds to law enforcement agencies for the acquisition of emergency response equipment and the criminal justice system. However, at the last moment the legislature chose to have the cities/local jurisdiction oversee the grant funds. Many cities, he reported, are forwarding 100% of the grant funds to their local Sheriff's Department.
City Manager Lindsey said that in light of La Habra Heights being a quiet community and having low crime in comparison to other cities, she suggested that the City Council consider $25,000 for participation in the Los Angeles Regional Crime Information System (LARCIS) program. The LARCIS program is a database system designed to provide law enforcement agencies access to regional crime information.
Sheriff's Department Lieutenant Ault reported on the analysis of suggested equipment based on research with the Sheriff's Department, the City's Fire Department, and Members of the Emergency Preparedness Committee. The list of purchases noted in the staff report for equipment to enhance law enforcement and emergency services were discussed.
The Council came up with additional items for consideration. It was decided that enforcement-related equipment to be purchased with CLEEP funds should be discussed in a future closed session meeting.
A motion was offered by Councilmember Klein, which was seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Carroll to authorize $25,000 of CLEEP funds to participate in the LARCIS program. The motion was approved as follows:
AYES: Borrowe, Carroll, Engelhardt, Klein and Millsap
NOES: None
