Councilaember Johnson stated he wanted something from our insurance carrier before voting on it. Council discussed the liability issue at length and took no action on this matter at this time. Golf Course Community Services Director Rodriguez briefed Council on the progress of the golf course feasibility study. He reported that several developers have called him to express an interest in this project. Senior Nutrition Community Services Director Rodriguez reviewed the status of the Senior Nutrition Site noting that the owner of the site north of Redlands Boulevard is in bankruptcy proceedings. Therefore, the committee is now looking for another site. He reviewed three possible sites and indicated they were ready to proceed with an architect when a site is selected. Larry Lawrence, County Office of the Aging, encouraged the City to move on this project with all haste. Public The City has received several complaints about the structure located at 1502 North Nuisance Orange Street (northeast corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and Orange Street). This house was designated a Historic Resource in December, 1987. In return for this Historic designation, the City approved a general plan amendment and zone change to allow Structure the house to be converted into offices. This amendment and zone change was intended specifically for the preservation of this house and not for new construction. The applicant also received points under the allocation system for the preservation of this house. The complaints concern people getting into the building and dangerous conditions there. After being contacted by Building and Planning staff, the owner's representative had the house reboarded and agreed to paint out the graffiti. Staff also requested a chain link fence around the property but this has not been committed to as of this meeting. Preservation Officer Cozen informed Council that it could demand a chain link fence and even begin proceedings toward rel-}airing the property and putting a lien on t:he property for the costs because the house is designated an historic resource. I Lugonia School Principal David Regalado and Assistant Principal Cheryl Ralston addressed Council expressing their concerns about the structure and its close proximity to the school. Ms. Ralston asked for a time schedule for the restoration process. It was noted it could be another one or two years before the development could receive permits form the City to proceed with construction. Noting this building has been there a long time in this state of disrepair, Mr. Regalado reviewed its past history which has been a problem for many years. He believed the fence would help, but would not stop all the problems, especially off-school hours. Speaking on behalf of the Historic Commission, Christie Hammond asked Council if they could urge the developer to rehabilitate the building now before the construction of the apartments. Bob Roberts urged Council to take some of 1 the responsibility and contribute towards the preservation of the structure as he felt Measure N had caused the problem. Councilmember DeMirjyn, who requested this matter be scheduled on the agenda, expressed his appreciation to the Historic Commission for their work, but told them we cannot preserve everything. He felt this building had no significance nor did it enhance the north side of town. Because the house is located across the street from an elementary school, many problems arise because of the young students, and there have also been police problems to contend with. He believed the building is a fire hazard and in light of these many problems, felt the house should come down. Gouncilmember Johnson voiced his opinion the building was an attractive nuisance and would continue to be until demolished or rehabilitated. Gouncilmember Cunningham expressed his concern that a former Council and two commissions had reviewed this and that we should not "shoot from the hip." He asked that. staff communicate with the developer to see if this could be resolved in two weeks and asked staff to report back on their commitments. He indicated if the developer did not perform on this historic structure, he could loose his residential development allocations. Council was willing to wait until the next meeting before taking any action on this matter in the hopes the developer would respond quickly to the concerns, Council recessed at 4:30 P.M. to a Redevelopment Agency meeting and reconvened at 4:58 P.M. to a closed scission for the purpose of discussing pending litigation. In accordance with State law, the City Attorney prepared a confidential memo to Council providing justification for the closed session. Council reconvened at 7:00 P.M. PRESENTATION CPR Award Community Services Director Rodriguez explained that once a year the California Parks and Recreation Society present a Layman's Award to honor outstanding volunteer work. This year the award was presented to a husband and wife team who have been most intrumental in many City projects. Mayor Pro Tem Wormser presented the plaque with congratulations to Ken and Carole Ding.

He also reported they will be meeting with the Highland folks to receive information about another application in the wash for a similar use. Gouncilmember DeMirjyn remarked he was impressed with the actions of the citizens' committees and commended them for looking at the cumulative effect.
