C-M Zone, to the Planning Commission in order to allow the Commission to s
reconsider the project with the added condition of approval recommended by staff
and the Traffic Commission requiring the extension of the median on Redlands
Boulevard. The Commission voted 3-3 on November 14, 1989, which denied the
+s project. It is valuable to note that the absent Planning Commissioner voted to
approve the project when it first came before the Commission. The Commissioners iy,gk
who oppose the project continue to believe that it will exacerbate traffic congestion -��t-
j at the intersection and may cause traffic safety problems. Chairman of the
l Planning Commission, Ray Alexander was present to answer any questions. Mayor

Redlands. There being no further comments, the public hearing was declared
closed.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

offered the City's cooperation to every extent possible to seek a mutual solution to

comments made by several neighbors at this meeting, staff was directed to provide
copies of the compromise agreement with the developer which was approved in
compliance with State law such as the Brown Act and the letter written by
r° Mr. Mutter. Council asked for a status report at the December 5 1989 meeting
and asked that another letter be sent to the County to find out what the applicant
is doing.
NEW BUSINESS 1
Mobilehome City Attorney Holmes presented a memorandum from City Attorney Dan McHugh
Parks regarding rent decontrol for mobilehome park space vacancies. Redlands presently '
has several parks which are subject to rent control, and the City's ordinance does
not have a provision allowing for decontrol of rent in the event of a vacancy.
r Ordinance No. 2099 was prepared for Council's consideration to allow for such
decontrol and would remove the threat of a mobilehome park owner challonging the
Xa constitutionality of the City's rent control ordinance under the rationale of the r
recent court decision, Hall vs. City of Santa Barbara. Councilmembers questioned
a why this issue could not be addressed at the same time the entire rent control issue v1„
is addressed in December when the current ordinance terminates. Many people
were present for this matter but Mayor Beswick asked if anyone wished to address r
only this issue of whether or not to continue this item until December 5, 1989,
hpi when Council would consider the entire matter of mobilehome rent control. On
behalf of the mobilehome park owners, R. C. Bessire urged Council to take action
on this ordinance at this meeting or risk more potential damage. Following this
presentation, Council briefly recessed for a few minutes to allow the people present �s
for this matter to leave the Chambers, a

Public Safety Mayor Beswick reported that informal discussions have been held with two
Tax Election Gouncilmembers, City Staff, and representatives of the Redlands Police Officers
NVN Association and the Redlands Professional Firefighters, and the RPDA has suggested
K z ballot measure to provide additional revenue for the General Fund for public
1s96
afety personnel, equipment, facilities, pay and benefits in April or June of 1990.
r Noting the cost difference for a special election in April (approximately $50,000.00)
and a consolidated election in ,June (approximately $10,000.00), Councilmember
DeMirjyn asked if the Police and Fire Associations would be willing to pay the
diffluence. Sgt. Walt Kadyk noted that staff's preference would be; June but that �.
he could not state the Association's preference. Fire Chief Mills felt we should lam'
present a unified front and that June would allow the time for this, City Manager ,
t
Holmes suggested a citizens survey and Council asked for information from other
cities. Gouncilmembers concurred to reveiw this matter again in the near future
with sufficient time to call an election for the June ballot. Citp Clerk Poyzer noted
that the resolution calling an election for June would have to be adore_ted no later
than February 5, 1990,
