Certificates of Participation - Norman K. McPhail reported the financing
team revised the refunding documents to include only the long term fixed
rate option as requested by the City Council on April 21, 1992, and
reviewed two fixed rate refunding scenarios. City Attorney Stephens
reviewed the wording for the reserve contained in the lease agreement.
Councilmember Cunningham expressed his desire to see these
requirements clearly stated within the resolution, i.e. the amount which is
not to exceed the original amount, a guaranteed five percent savings over
the life of the bond, and the guaranteed reserve. Following discussion,
Councilmember Larson moved to continue this matter to May 5, 1992,. at
which time the revised resolution reflecting the language requested would
be available for Council's review. Motion seconded by Councilmember
Milson and carried with Councilmember Cunningham voting NO.

General Plan - Council discussed the existing 65 (decibel) CNEL
(Community Noise Equivalent Level) line on the map for Norton Air
Force Base and the Redlands Municipal Airport. Councilmember Milson
moved to direct staff to leave the designation as is until Norton Air Force
Base is closed. Motion seconded by Councilmember Larson and carried
with Councilmember Foster voting NO.
Council discussed the future noise contour and reviewed the
recommendation from the General Plan Citizens Committee and the
Planning Commission to reduce the decibel from 65 to 60 for the CNEL.
Speaking from the audience were Richard Belcher, Dennis Hansberger on
behalf of the Redlands Community Hospital, and Chairman of the Citizens
Committee Carole Wesson. Councilmember Larson moved to continue
this matter and directed staff to provide a written staff report. Motion
seconded by Councilmember Foster and carried unanimously.
Council addressed the planning area boundaries as requested by
Councilmember Foster especially in the eastern areas. Councilmember
Foster felt the inclusion of land not in our sphere of influence and within.
our boundaries artificially affected the total build-out numbers.
Councilmember Cunningham felt it made sense to include all property
bounded by the Santa Ana River and U. S. Forestry boundaries within our
sphere of influence. Speaking from the audience, Bob Roberts felt the
inclusion of this land was misleading. Following a brief recess from 7:15
P.M. to 7:23 P.M., Councilmember Foster requested staff to prepare a
report showing the changes from the current General Plan and indicating
the reasoning for the changes and for the jurisdictions abutting the City.
Council heard presentations from Tess Hahn, Chairman of the Trails
Committee, and Gary Jackson, co-founder of the Regional Trail
Coordination Committee. Speaking from the audience were: Michael
Atencio, Richard Belcher, Carole Wesson, Bob Roberts, Kay Mason,
Mimi Duper, Rita Ward, Ron Whittier, Harry John, Carl Davis, Theresa
Kwappenberg, Barbara Wormser on behalf of the League of Women
Voters, and Tex Moore. City Attorney McHugh responded to questions
regarding liability. The need for a map showing the trails was discussed at
length. Councilmember Larson's motion seconded by Councilmember
Foster, to implement Option 2 included in the staff memorandum dated
April 25, 1992, to amend the General Plan in the future to include trails,
recognizing the desire to include trails in the General Plan but also
recognizing the need to involve property owners in the planning and
development of a Trail system with the understanding that a committee
would be appointed by the City Council with equal representation of
landowners and trail users, failed with Councilmembers Cunningham,
Milson, and DeMirjyn voting NO. Councilmember Cunningham moved
to implement Option 1, to include Section 7.11, Trails, as prepared and
recommended by the General Plan Citizens Committee in the new General
Plan; this option recognizes that the City Council may decide to amend the
Trails section and is merely to approve incorporation of Section 7.11,
Trails, into the General Plan, and directed staff to initiate proceedings to
prepare a trails map with landowners and citizen participation. Motion
seconded by Councilmember Milson and carried with Councilmember
Larson and Foster voting NO.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:40 P.M
Next regular meeting, May 5, 1992
