Staff has provided the City Council with an overview of the General Plan describing the development of the Plan and public input, purpose of the plan, an overview of themes, the Housing Element, environmental impact report and master environmental assessment, and the Planning Commission recommendation. The City Council has given specific direction on several issues . Since September 20, 1994 , the City Council began going through the General Plan document by chapter and has reviewed Chapters 1 through 7 thus far. Referencing Chapter 8, Mr. Shaw informed Councilmembers that Smith, Peroni, and Fox are substantially revising and updating the Seismicity, Geology, and Soils section.

Council then proceeded with its review of the General Plan document : Chapter 8 , Health and Safety Element - Water Quality - Due to a possible conflict of interest, Councilmember Cunningham left the Council Chambers and did not participate in the discussion regarding Section 8 . 20, Water Quality. In response to Councilmember Foster ' s questions, Municipal Utilities Director Phelps assured Councilmembers they would evaluate this entire section and updated the materials . Chapter 8 , Health and Safety Element - Air Quality - Councilmember Cunningham returned to the Council dais . Mr. Shaw noted air quality policies were new ground for general plans and these policies were based on County policies and other jurisdictions in the Inland Empire . Councilmember Foster felt Policies 8 . 12dd, 8 . 12ee, and 8 . 12ff needed clarification and expansion. April 4, 1995 Page 5 Chapter 8 , Health and Safety Element - Drainage and Flooding - This section also needs to be modified to reflect recent actions of the City Council establishing new drainage development impact fees . Although the collection of fees for the downtown drainage and the Crafton Detention Basin were deleted, Councilmember Cunningham desired to leave references to these projects in the General Plan.

City Attorney McHugh assured Council this section would be reviewed by staff and the necessary clarifications brought back to the City Council . Chapter 9 - Noise Element - Community Development Director Shaw reviewed Table 9-A, Noise/Land Use Compatibility Matrix, which has been reviewed to reflect the majority Council vote establishing Community Noise Equivalent Levels (CNEL) . Chapter 10 - Human Services Element - Councilmember Foster' s motion to delete this entire section did not receive a second. Following discussion, Community Development Director Shaw was directed to circulate this chapter to the United Way of Redlands and Redlands 2000 Committee for their input . Chapter 11 - Economic Development Element - Councilmember Gilbreath did not feel this chapter was big enough. Councilmember Cunningham moved to delete the sixth paragraph on Page 1, which read: "Given the rate at which the City has been growing, and current residential growth initiative restrictions, the economic future of the City could be questionable due to diminished residential growth and the improvements and City services provided by that type of development . it is essential that the City maintain an aggressive role in attracting business and industry that can help to fill any potential economic void, while at the same time providing local employment . " Motion seconded by Councilmember Larson and failed with Councilmembers Foster, Gilbreath, and Gil voting NO. Appendix A - South East Area General Plan Amendment - Community Development Director Shaw informed Councilmembers that Appendix A, General April 4, 1995 Page 6 Plan Amendment No. 38, South East Area General Plan Amendment, need to be reviewed at a separate meeting. Public Hearing - At this time, Mayor Larson declared the meeting open as a public hearing for any questions or comments . G. Louis Fletcher read a statement declaring he was not in support of a proposal to put housing back in the CSA 110 Plan as he felt there were much better areas for housing in the City of Redlands and its vicinity. Chairman of the Landowners Association within the "Donut Hole" Michelle Nelson informed Councilmembers there was a consensus of a majority of the landowners that some element of residential, in a limited amount, should be included in the plan. There being no further comments at this time, the public hearing was unanimously continued to April 18 , 1995, on motion of Councilmember Larson, seconded by Councilmember Foster. Ordinance No. 2271 : General Plan Amendment No. 55 - Public hearing was advertised for this time and place to consider Ordinance No. 2271, an ordinance of the City of Redlands approving General Plan Amendment No. 55 to change the land use designation from Urban Reserve (Agricultural) and Park to Very Low Density and Park for approximately 6 . 57 acres of land located on the west side of Orange Street, approximately 1, 500 feet north of Pioneer Avenue . Community Development Director Shaw explained that staff recommended the creation of a new land use designation for the existing General Plan of "Very Low Density Residential" and the Planning Commission concurred. In evaluating the technical aspects of the General Plan Amendment, staff believes that the creation of the new land use designation requires its own ordinance and separate action. For that reason, this request pertaining to a specific piece of property is recommended for continuance to allow staff time to process a separate General Plan Amendment to create the "Very low Density Residential" land use designation. Mayor Larson declared the meeting open as a public hearing for any questions or comments . None being forthcoming, the public hearing was unanimously continued to June 6 , 1995, on motion of Councilmember Foster, seconded by Councilmember Gilbreath.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS Resolution No. 5170 - Monkey Face Falls Project - At the City Council meeting held on March 21, 1995, the question of property ownership of the Monkey Face Falls was posed. As a result of no one being present to resolve the questions, the project was deleted from Resolution No. 5156 , a resolution of the City Council of the city of Redlands authorizing designation of the applicant ' s agent for the purpose of obtaining Federal financial assistance due to the late winter floods . Due to a possible conflict of interest, Councilmember Cunningham left the Council Chambers . Utilities Manager Michael L. Huffstutler explained that Monkey Face Falls itself is located on property owned by the Crafton Water Company. Rights to the water of Monkey Face Falls are owned jointly by the City of Redlands and the Crafton Water Company, with Redlands owning 44 . 7 percent and Crafton owning 55 . 3 percent . In addition, the City of Redlands controls approximately 39 . 5 percent of the Crafton Water Company through direct and in- direct stock ownership. The City of Redlands, by contractual agreement, is responsible for the maintenance and repair of jointly held water production facilities in Mill Creek Canyon and "up fronts" the funds for any necessary maintenance and repair projects . Crafton Water Company, in turn, reimburses its percentage share of maintenance and repair costs to the City of Redlands . Furthermore, as a result of a water rights dispute, Redlands also has a contractual obligation to provide water to the April 4, 1995 Page 8 residents of Mountain Home Village and Camp Kilkare . During most winters, all of the water needs of these residents is provided from Monkey Face Falls, and any excess water continues into the Mill Creek flow lines and on to the City of Redlands and the Craf ton Water Company. At times, such as now, when water from Monkey Face Falls is not available, Redlands is responsible for providing water from Mill Creek Canyon wells to the Village and Camp residents . Following this explanation, Councilmember Larson moved to adopt Resolution No. 5170, a resolution of the City Council of City of Redlands authorizing designation of the applicant ' s agent for the purpose of obtaining Federal financial assistance, with the inclusion of the Monkey Face Falls projects on the list of projects damaged due to the recent late winter storms . Motion seconded by Councilmember Gilbreath and carried by AYE votes of all present . Councilmember Cunningham returned to the Council Chambers .

A letter was received from the California Grocers Association requesting the City Council to delay action on this proposal so that the local retailers can meet again with City staff to continue to discuss the ongoing effort to rid the streets of stray carts . Councilmember Gilbreath moved to continue this matter for 30 days (to May 2 , 1995) to allow further discussion with the Chamber of Commerce and California Grocers Association.

Public Works Director Mutter informed Councilmembers this project is being financed through a Damage Survey Report from FEMA/OES . FEMA will pay 75 percent of the total cost, OES will pay 18 . 75 percent of the total cost, and the City will be responsible for 6 . 25 percent of the total cost . it is estimated that the City' s obligation will be between $12 , 500 . 00 and $15, 000 . 00 ; therefore, an appropriation of $15, 000 . 00 has been requested.

He said a number of letters have come which appear to be requesting personal advise which ordinarily we do not give . He is reviewing materials submitted to him by Mrs . Alexander and the park owners, and he will respond when he feels he has a good sound legal basis and can insure that the City Council is not going to incur any liability one way or the other in regards to the park owners and tenants . He cautioned the City Council that we are in the midst of an administrative hearing that he suspect is heading towards litigation, and he does not want to prejudice ourselves or the tenants by saying anything that might affect that lawsuit . He indicated he could come back with some specific issues such as whether or not the tenants can bring this before the City, whether or not the tenants have met their standing requirements, whether or not we have the legal authority to step in at this time and do this in house or if we need to advise the tenants they need to seek their own legal representation. Councilmember Foster moved to direct that this matter be accelerated and, if need be, to bring in additional legal counsel to determine what our ordinance says, what the State law says, and where we are supposed to be . Motion seconded by Councilmember Gil and carried unanimously. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the City Council meeting adjourned at 9 : 01 P.M. Next regular meeting, April 18, 1995 .
