Ordinance No. 2314 - Household Hazardous Waste Disposal Fee - Ordinance No. 2314, an ordinance of the City of Redlands amending Chapter 13.68 of the Redlands Municipal Code relating to solid waste disposal fees and amending the household hazardous waste disposal fee, was given its second reading of the title by City Clerk Poyzer, and on motion of Councilmember Banda, seconded by Councilmember Larson, further reading of the ordinance text was unanimously waived, and Ordinance No. 2314 was adopted by the following vote: AYES: Councilmembers Gilbreath, Gil, Banda; Mayor Larson NOES: Councilmember Cunningham June 18, 1996 Page 9 ABSENT: None Ordinance No. 2319 - Human Relations Commission - Ordinance No. 2319, an ordinance of the City of Redlands amending Chapter 2.66 of the Redlands Municipal Code relating to the terms on the Human Relations Commission, was given its second reading of the title by City Clerk Poyzer, and on motion of Councilmember Gil, seconded by Councilmember Banda, further reading of the ordinance text was unanimously waived, and Ordinance No. 2319 was adopted by the following vote: AYES: Councilmembers Gilbreath, Cunningham, Gil, Banda; Mayor Larson NOES: None ABSENT: None Ballot Measure - Paramedic Service - Fire Chief Enslow reported that expansion and increased operation cost of the Paramedic Program have resulted in an additional cost of$368,000.00 annually above those revenues produced by the present Paramedic assessment. An analysis of the program shows that during the 15 years the Paramedic Program has been in existence, the General Fund has needed to supplement the budget 12 of those years (the last nine years consecutively). The City Council, during the budget study sessions, directed staff to explore the possibility of increasing the Paramedic assessment tax to cover this deficit. Mr. Enslow presented proposed rates which would generate sufficient funds to cover the program without General Fund subsidies. Mayor Larson expressed concern about co joining this with the Utility Users' Tax on the November ballot. Councilmember Banda felt that pending State legislation (AB 1436) might alleviate the need to increase the rates. Councilmember Cunningham felt it made sense that the service should stand alone and supported placing the request for an increase on the ballot; he then moved to continue this matter to July 2, 1996. Motion secnded by Councilmember Banda and failed by the following vote: AYES: Councilmembers Cunningham and Banda NOES: Councilmembers Gilbreath, Gil; Mayor Larson Councilmember Gil suggested looking at this issue again after the November elections. Ballot Proposal - Utility Users' Tax - The City Council has been discussing the placement of a Utility Users' Tax on the November ballot. Ray Beggs reviewed his letter dated June 13, 1996, with a proposal regarding this issue. Mr. Matusick, 630 East Pioneer Avenue, urged the City Council to keep what we have now and use it for police and fire services and charge everyone the same rate. City Attorney McHugh reported he had met with Councilmember Gilbreath, as directed by the City Council at their last meeting, and has prepared June 18, 1996 Page 10 a draft ordinance following her suggestions. The City Council addressed each issue individually as follows: 1. Councilmember Larson moved that the Utility Users' Tax be at a rate not to exceed 4 percent. Seconding the motion, Councilmember Gilbreath explained this would be a floating rate based on financial need. The motion. carried with Councilmember Cunningham voting NO. 2. Councilmember Larson moved to leave the present exemptions from the tax for very low income familes in place. Motion seconded by Councilmember Gilbreath and carried unanimously. 3. Councilmember Larson moved that a consumer price index adjustment be made on a "cap" of$30,000.00 for large utility users, such as the University of Redlands. Motion seconded by Councilmember Gilbreath and carried with Councilmembers Cunningham and Banda voting NO. 4. The length of time the tax would be in place generated much discussion. Councilmembers Larson and Gil said they had made a commitment to end the tax in June 1998 and could not support an extension. Councilmembers Cunningham and Banda felt that if the tax was necesary and had merit, that it needs to continue rather than only be in place for an additional 18 months. Councilmember Gilbreath felt the City needed the five-year window but explained that with a floating rate based on financial needs, it was possible the tax could disappear earlier if the City recovers from the current economic slump. Councilmember Larson's motion, seconded by Councilmember Gil, to sunset the tax in June 1998 failed with Councilmembers Gilbreath, Cunningham, and Banda voting NO. Councilmember Gilbreath's motion, seconded by Councilmember Banda, for a five year period failed with Councilmembers Larson, Cunningham and Gil voting NO. Motions that did not receive a second were: Councilmember Larson: tax to expire in June 1999; Councilmember Gilbreath: tax to be in effect four years effective January 1, 1997; Councilmember Cunningham: sunset the tax when property and sales tax increases, incrementally, become awash and still maintaining the same level of service. Councilmember Banda: combine the floating rate with a floating sunset. At this time, the Mayor moved on to the remaining issues to be addressed and returned to this discussion later in the meeting. Councilmember Gilbreath moved that the tax be for a period of five years from the date it is enacted by the voters, effective January 1, 1997. Taking a deep breath, Councilmember Larson seconded by motion which carried with Councilmembers Cunningham and Banda voting NO. 5. Councilmember Larson moved to determine that the tax be a general tax, with the ordinance having a requirement for quarterly accountability to the public as to revenue and how any proceeds of the taxes are expended. Motion seconded by Councilmember Gilbreath and carried with Councilmember Cunningham voting NO. June 18, 1996 Page 11 6. City Attorney McHugh noted language is beging developed, as suggested by the League of California Cities, to "ratify" the City's existing tax but that it has not been tested. Councilmember Banda suggested the word "establish" rather than "ratify." Councilmember Larson moved that the ordinance include language which would "ratify" (or other appropriate language) the City's existing tax. Motion seconded by Councilmember Gilbreath and carried with Councilmembers Cunningham and Banda voting NO. NEW BUSINESS Traffic Regulations -Assistant Public Works Director Laaninen explained that a request has been received from John Mac Vie, 446 Iris Avenue, for a four-way stop at the intersection of Fern Avenue and Lakeside Avenue. The applicant cites as reasons for the request excessive speed on Fern Avenue, obstructed visibility when entering Fern Avenue from northbound Lakeside Avenue, and the presence of school children at the intersection. A petition containing 54 signatures was submitted requesting that stop signs and crosswalks be added on Fern Avenue at Lakeside Avenue The Traffic Commission reviewed this request and voted to deny the request for removal of two palm trees from the south side of Fern Avenue and recommended installation of the four-way stop. Staff conducted a traffic study of this intersection and recommended denial of the request for a four-way stop based on the fact that the intersection operates currently without significant delay and operates safely. Mr. Laaninen noted the installation of stop signs should not be used to solve the perceived problem of vehicles traveling excessively fast on Fern Avenue. On behalf of a number of supporters present at the meeting, Mr. Mac Vie urged the City Council to approve their request. Councilmember Cunningham moved to adopt Resolution No. 5299, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redlands establishing the following traffic regulations pursuant to Title 10 of the Redlands Municipal Code: install stop signs on Fern Avenue at Lakeside Avenue, and directed staff to study the need for crosswalks at this intersection and determine the location. Motion seconded by Councilmember Gil and carried unanimously. Ordinance No. 2315 - Recreation Fees - Ordinance No. 2315, an ordinance of the City of Redlands amending Section 3.16 of the Redlands Municipal Code relating to fee and service charges for the adult and youth recreation programs and services, was read by title only by City Clerk Poyzer, and on motion of Councilmember Gilbreath, seconded by Councilmember Banda, further reading of the ordinance text was unanimously waived, and Ordinance No. 2315 was introduced with unanimous Council approval and laid over under the rules with second reading scheduled for July 2, 1996. Resolution No. 5280 - Recreation Fees - Administrative Services Director Pettus presented Resolution No. 5280, a resolution of the City Council of the June 18, 1996 Page 12 City of Redlands establishing fees for adult and youth recreation services, programs, and activities. Recreation fees are currently found in the Executive Order; this resolution proposed by staff will formalize recreation fees through City Council action and adjust charges to increase recovery rates. Councilmember Gil moved to adopt Resolution No. 5280; motion seconded by Councilmember Gilbreath and carried unanimously. Ordinance No. 2325 - Solid Waste Rates - Municipal Utilities Director Phelps explained that in late 1995 the Green Waste program was implemented for single family residential customers. As a result, customers were required to have a minimum of two containers: one for regular domestic waste and one for green waste. In applying the currently adopted rate structure to customers after this change, the rates were inconsistent with various levels of service (number and capacity of containers). The residential rates proposed in Ordinance No. 2325 have been adjusted to provide consistent differences between levels of service based on the number and capacity of containers a customer may have and are now clearly stated in this ordinance. Bin rental rates have been simplified, roll-off rates are more specifically defined, and the roll-off trip charge has been increased to recover cost of service. Ordinance No. 2325, an ordinance of the City of Redlands amending Chapter 3.66 of the Redlands Municipal Code relating to solid waste rates, was read by title only by City Clerk Poyzer, and on motion of Councilmember Cunningham, seconded by Councilmember Gil, further reading of the ordinance text was unanimously waived, and Ordinance No. 2325 was introduced with unanimous Council approval and laid over under the rules with second reading scheduled for July 2, 1996.
