PRESENTATION
Retirement Reco nig tion - Mayor Larson presented a plaque with the City seal
and a gold watch to Don Morlan recognizing his service with the Redlands Fire
Department from September 13, 1967, through February 5, 1997. Mr. Morlan
has left a permanent stamp of professionalism, dedication to duty, fearless
firefighting skills, pride in every task he has taken on, and is widely respected
by his fellow firefighters. For those fortunate enough to have worked with him,
they will tell you they are better for the experience. He also took good care of
the employees' money in the City's Credit Union. He brought roses from his

garden to be proudly displayed on many of the service counters throughout the
City. Don and his wife, Karen, are talented photographers and many of their
fire apparatus photographs are on display in Fire Chief Mel Enslow's office. He
watched over his crew members much like a mother watching her young, thus
earning him the name "Mother Morlan."

COMMUNICATIONS
Utility Users' Tax - Referring to the election results (Resolution No. 5360),
Mayor Larson felt it was unfair to continue to Utility Users' Tax approved by
the City Council on April 19, 1994, and moved to direct staff to start the process
to rescind Ordinance No. 2242 and schedule this matter on the April 1, 1997,
City Council agenda. Councilmember Cunningham seconded the motion which
carried by the following vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Cunningham, Banda; Mayor Larson
NOES: Councilmember Gilbreath
ABSENT: Councilmember Gil

1997-98 Budget - City Manager Luebbers stated that as staff begins preparing
the 1997-98 budget recommendations for presentation to the City Council, they
are faced with a situation not faced in recent years. Because of the failure of the
Utility Users' Tax on the ballot two weeks ago and the impending loss of nearly
$3 million in revenues, he requested the City Council define certain parameters
for budgeting.
Regarding the $2 million in Utility Tax revenue reserves, Mayor Larson did not
feel it fair to decide if these funds should be available until all Councilmembers
are present; at the April 1, 1997, meeting, he would propose the funds be set-
aside for public safety concerns including continuance of the paramedics at Fire
Station No. 2, the DARE program, community policing, and disaster
preparedness. Councilmember Cunningham indicated he has a problem
spending money from a one-time source for on-going tasks; that he would like
to consider placing a general tax and a paramedic tax on the November, 1997,
ballot, and suggested use of the reserves to fund the budget through December.
Councilmember Banda felt we should use the $2 million reserve.
Councilmember Gilbreath felt it would be difficult to use the reserves for
General Fund expenditures but did not feel we would lose the funds if they were
used for the purpose originally intended.
City Manager Luebbers then asked the City Council where the necessary
reductions would come from. To assist the City Council in identifying the areas
to be reduced, he submitted a menu of items for consideration with a total value
of$1,609,000. The extent of the reductions needed to be implemented depends
on two factors: whether the Utility Users' Tax reserve will be used or whether
any funds will be set aside for employee salary adjustments. Several factors
were considered in preparing the yearly projections provided which he and
Finance Director Chapman reviewed in detail. Councilmember Gilbreath
desired a zero-based budget and indicated she would review the proposed
budget line-by-line. Councilmember Cunningham noted a 2 percent Utility
Users' Tax would cover the shortfall; asked what the basis was for the revenue
numbers; suggested looking for other streams of revenue for special uses; and
indicated he would present his recommendations for budget reductions during
the budget process. Mayor Larson felt the Sports Complex should remain on
hold; desired to eliminate Commission staffing except for the Planning
Commission; asked for a listing of fee waivers approved this past year noting
the City Council should eliminate all future fee waivers; and wanted additional
Code Enforcement. Dave Eason asked the City Council to include youth sports
in their budget considerations and urged the City Council to re-evaluate City
personnel and to train them for "total quality management."

PUBLIC HEARING
Ordinance No. 2339 - Sign Standards - Citrus Village Shopping Center - Public
hearing was advertised for this time and place to consider Ordinance No. 2339,
an ordinance of the City of Redlands adopting Amendment No. 1 to Specific
Plan No. 41 (Citrus Village Shopping Center located on the southwest corner of
Cypress Avenue and Redlands Boulevard) concerning sign standards which
address size, number, color and hours of illumination. Community
Development Director Shaw explained that in August of 1996, the applicant
(Golden State Ventures) applied for a Planning Commission review and
approval for a pad building at the corner of Redlands Boulevard and Cypress
Avenue in the Citrus Village Shopping Center (Lucky's). The applicant has
proposed that the building house a Blockbuster Video and a second tenant. The
applicant has applied to modify the sign program in this Specific Plan because it
does not address the possibility (as in this case) that pad buildings could have
more than one tenant. This causes complications with the sign program,
prevents each tenant on a multiple-tenant pad from having a main identification
sign, limits their available square footage, and limits the number of signs as
compared to any other tenant in the shopping center. The applicant, staff, and
the Planning Commission agreed on these aspects of the sign program which
were presented to the City Council on. January 21, 1997. At the January 21,
1997, meeting of the City Council, a public hearing was held on the proposed
amendment to the sign standards. During the public hearing, one citizen voiced
concern over the "hours of illumination" of signs saying that some of the signs
shine into her home. The City Council requested that the Specific Plan
Amendment return to the Planning Commission to determine if "hours of
illumination" should be addressed in the Specific Plan. Since the last hearing
date, staff has found that the Specific Plan has language that refers back to the
C-2 (Neighborhood Convenience) District of the Sign Code for any issue not
covered in the Specific Plan. Section 15.36.440 (F)(1) prohibits the
illumination of signage in the C-2 District from the hours between 10:00 P.M.
and 6:00 A.M. Therefore, the issue of illumination of signs is currently
March 18, 1997
Page 5
addressed in this Specific Plan. On February 24, 1997, the Planning
Commission recommended that no change be made to the Specific Plan
regarding hours of sign illumination.
Mayor Larson declared the meeting open as a public hearing. On behalf of the
applicant, Pat Meyer indicated their concurrence with the staff and Planning
Commission recommendation. He noted they would be happy to live with the
C-2 District standards but also felt that if Lucky's gets any special treatment,
then all businesses in the C-2 District also be granted the same treatment. There
being no further comments, the public hearing was closed.
Ordinance No. 2339, an ordinance of the City of Redlands amending Ordinance
No. 2078 relating to Specific Plan No. 41 of the City of Redlands (Citrus
Village Shopping Center), was read by title only by City Clerk Poyzer, and on
motion of Councilmember Gilbreath, seconded by Councilmember Larson,
further reading of the ordinance text was waived, and Ordinance No. 2339 was
introduced and laid over under the rules with second reading scheduled for
April 1, 1997, by AYE votes of all present.

NEW BUSINESS
Negative Declaration - Contract Award - 2100' Zone Transmission - Municipal
Utilities Director Phelps reported that bids were opened and publicly declared
on March 6, 1997, by the City Clerk for the 2100' Zone Transmission and
Distribution Pipeline Project; a bid opening report is on file in the Office of the
City Clerk. It was the recommendation of the Municipal Utilities Department
that the responsible bidder submitting the bid for said project which will result
in the lowest cost to the City was CNB Excavating, Inc. in the amount of
$800,000.00, and it would be in the best interest of the City that this contract be
awarded to said firm. Councilmember Gilbreath moved to approve the
Environmental Review Committee's Negative Declaration for the 2100' Zone
Transmission and Distribution Pipeline Project based on the finding that the
project will not have a significant effect on the environment, determining this
project will not individually or cumulatively have an adverse impact on wildlife
resources as defined in Section 711.2 of the California Fish and Game Code and
directed staff to file and post a Notice of Determination in accordance with the
City's guidelines. Motion seconded by Councilmember Banda and carried by
AYE votes of all present. Councilmember Gilbreath moved to award the
contract for construction of the 2100' Zone Transmission and Distribution
Pipeline, Project No. 1-9736, to CNB Excavating, Inc. for replacement of
certain portions of the 21.00' Zone water distribution system located in the
northeast section of the City's water service area, subject to receipt of required
submittals, and authorized the Mayor to execute a construction contract in the
amount of $800,000.00. Motion seconded by Councilmember Banda and
carried by AYE votes of all present.
Resolution No. 5362 - Loma Linda Towing - Police Chief Nelson informed
Councilmembers that he had been contacted earlier today by newly-retained
legal counsel for Leopold Wenzel, owner of Loma Linda Towing, requesting
this matter be continued. He suggested the City Council may proceed with the
hearing because he felt sufficient notice had been given; that the Police
Department has been dealing with this situation since last May which was
March 18, 1997
Page 7
unfair to the other towing companies which are complying with the City's
regulations. City Attorney McHugh advised the City Council to proceed with
the hearing since all parties involved were present. Police Chief Nelson
reviewed the staff report and reported that as a result of a January 16, 1997,
inspection conducted by officers of the Redlands Police Department, the
Department determined that Loma Linda Towing has continuously failed to
comply with the following sections of the Redlands Municipal Code:
R.M.C. 5.80.100 (b) Equipment Compliance - The company does not have
the requisite equipment to handle the towing of large
trucks, trailers, or tractors.
R.M.C. 5.80.100 (d) Does not have sufficient equipment to provide
expeditious movement of disabled vehicles involved in
multi-vehicle accidents.
R.M.C. 5.80.110 Storage - The company does not have sufficient storage
space for vehicles which are towed or stored.
R.M.C. 5.80.1.20 Record of impound or storage - (A)(6) The company
lacks paperwork showing reasons for various towing
charges (i.e. lien papers).
R.M.C. 5.80.150 (b) No proof of auto insurance and continues to let such
insurance lapse during the term of its franchise.
R.M.C. 5.80.210 Minimum Service Requirement - Failure to provide the
minimum tow trucks and drivers as required.
An official from the Police Department and the City Attorney met with Mr.
Leopold Wenzel, the owner of Loma Linda Towing, on February 18, 1997, at
which time Mr. Wenzel claimed that the violations had been corrected. Mr.
Wenzel agreed to a reinspection by officers from the Redlands Police
Department. On February 1.8, 1997,. Loma Linda Towing was reinspected, and
the inspecting Officers determined that the following violations had not been
corrected:
R.M.C. 5.80.1.00 (b) Equipment Compliance - the company does not have
the equipment to handle large trucks, trailers, tractors or
similar vehicles. There have been at least two recent
occasions when Loma Linda Towing declined a
requested Police Department tow because it did not
have the equipment required to handle the tow. Loma
Linda Towing's equipment does not allow for the
towing of vehicles with air brakes as required by the
California Vehicles Code and R.M.C. 5.80.040. The
Police Department is using the CHP guidelines to
identify the required tow truck classifications because
they are based upon specifications developed by the
March 18, 1997
Page 8
Department of Transportation, the California Vehicle
Code, and original equipment manufacturer
specifications.
R.M.C. 5.80.100 (d) Does not have sufficient equipment to provide
expeditious movement of disabled vehicles involved in
multi-vehicle accidents. During the past inspections,
Loma Linda Towing has only had one vehicle in
Redlands.
R.M.C. 5.80.1.20 Record of Impound or Storage - (A)(6) - Missing paper
work showing reasons for charges. Officers found lien
papers mission on every tow for August 1996 to
present.
R.M.C. 5.80.21.0 Minimum Service Requirement - Failure to provide the
minimum number of tow trucks and drivers as required.
The Redlands Municipal Code requires at least two
trucks and drivers to be available for service. During
both inspections, there was only one truck and one
driver based in Redlands. This violation was confirmed
by Officers' observations and the tow company
manager's statements. No tows were involved in calls
at the time of the inspections.
Police Chief Nelson reported that officers of the Redlands Police Department
have repeatedly found violations during every inspection since March, 1995. In
July, 1996, Loma Linda Towing was advised by letter that they must have a
Class "C" tow truck as described by the California Highway Patrol, and that
they must maintain two tow trucks based within the City of Redlands. The
owner has been either unwilling or unable to correct the violations. Police
Chief Nelson recommended the City Council revoke the tow franchise for Loma
Linda towing for repeated violations of conditions of the franchise and
violations of the Redlands Municipal Code. Captain Cletus Hyman and
Corporal Brad Kloepfer addressed the City Council reinforcing Police Chief
Nelson's comments. Responding the Council's questions regarding notification
of this hearing, Corporal Kloepfer said a letter was sent to Mr. Wenzel notifying
him of this meeting. The letter, dated March 1, 1997, was sent by Certified
Mail and a return receipt was signed by an employee of the business on March
1.1, 1997. Mr. Wenzel insisted he had not received the letter. City Attorney
McHugh also reported he and Captain Hyman had, on February 18, 1997, a
face-to-face conversation with Mr. Wenzel and one of his employees at which
time they were told the City was going to proceed with the revocation hearing.
Mr. Wenzel and Mario Gomez, Mr. Wenzel's manager, joined Amy Greyson,
Brunick, Alvarez & Battersby, at the podium and addressed each alleged
violation in a question/answer format. Mr. Wenzel insisted he had the proper
March 18, 1997
Page 9
equipment to handle most of the Police Department's service and that there were
always at least two tow trucks in Redlands available for service. Mr.Wenzel
admitted he could not tow combination vehicles. He did acknowledge the
trucks were not always at the business location, 535 West Stuart Avenue, but
that drivers took the trucks home with them when they were on call. When
asked by Councilmember Cunningham if his drivers had Home Occupation
Permits, Mr. Wenzel responded they did not. Mr. Wenzel asserted the
paperwork was done properly but Corporal Kloepfer stated the paperwork had
not been available twice and that he had been accompanied by Police Officers
Russ Dalzell and Ricky Smith on each visit and also witnessed the lack of
records. Corporal Kloepfer stated Mr. Wenzel was never present for the
inspections, and that he had worked with Mr. Gomez. Corporal Kloepfer
reported the drivers of the tow trucks also did not maintain a copy of proof of
insurance in the tow trucks as required by State law. Rodrigo Centeno, who has
worked in the towing industry for many years, explained the uses of a Class A,
B, and C tow truck at the request of Ms. Greyson.
Ms. Greyson distributed copies of the following documents: Chapter 5.80 of the
Redlands Municipal Code; a letter of application dated October 23, 1991, for a
police towing franchise; Resolution No. 4842 adopted by the City Council on
March 17, 1992, granting a tow franchise to Loma Linda Towing;
correspondence from the City of Redlands Police Department dated May 20,
1996, June 10, 1996, July 5, 1996; responses from Robert A. Ring, Ring &
Green, Attorneys at Law, dated June 24, 1996 and July 15, 1996; and a
certificate of liability insurance from Babcock Insurance Service.
City Attorney McHugh counseled Councilmembers that they had now heard
from both sides and there were differences of interpretations; this is a two-year
problem; that it is a privilege, not a right, to hold a franchise, and that Mr.
Wenzel can reapply in the future.
At the conclusion of the lengthy hearing, Councilmember Larson moved to
adopt Resolution No. 5362, a resolution of the City Council of the City of
Redlands rescinding Resolution No. 4842 and revoking the tow franchise of
Loma Linda Towing. Motion seconded by Councilmember Cunningham and
carried by AYE votes of all present.
San Timoteo Canyon Road Bridge - Councilmember Banda announced the
possibility of a grant application for additional linkage to the San Timoteo
Canyon Road bridge under the alternative soft bottom design of the San
Timoteo Creek and moved to refer this to the Public Works Department for
study and that a designated employee of the Public Works Department serve as
liaison between the City and the County of San Bernardino. Motion seconded
by Councilmember Larson and carried by the following vote:
March 18, 1997
Page 10
AYES: Councilmembers Gilbreath, Banda; Mayor Larson
NOES: None
ABSENT: Councilmember Gil
ABSTAIN: Councilmember Cunningham
Workers' Compensation Incentive Program - City Manager Luebbers said the
amount of money spent on Workers' Compensation expenditures has been of
great concern in the State of California and especially here in the City of
Redlands, and he recommended establishing a Workers' Compensation
Incentive Program. The purpose of the program will be to provide some
positive motivation for employees to work safely and, as a result, reduce
Workers' Compensation costs. Mr. Luebbers explained implementation of this
program noting that if it does result in a savings, 65 percent of that savings
would go directly to the employees in the form of a one-time only bonus. This
bonus would be paid in the first quarter of the year following the calendar year
in which a savings exceeding $25,000.00 was realized. A savings of less than
that would mean less than $40.00 per employee and would not justify the
paperwork and staff time involved to prepare the bonus checks.
Councilmember Cunningham moved to adopt the City of Redlands Workers'
Compensation Incentive Program as presented. Motion seconded by
Councilmember Banda and carried by AYE votes of all present.
Initiative Report - City Clerk Poyzer reported that Section 9212 of the
California Elections Code provides the City Council the opportunity to refer a
proposed initiative measure to staff for a report on any or all of the following:
1. Its fiscal impact.
2. Its effect on the internal consistency of the General Plan, specific plans, the
housing element, the consistency between planning and zoning, the
limitations on City actions under Section 65009 of the Government Code
which relates to the prohibition of discrimination and Chapter 4.2
(commencing with Section 65913) entitled "Housing Development
Approvals" and Chapter 4.3 (commencing with Section 65915) entitled
"Density Bonuses and Other Incentives" of the Government Code.
3. Any other matters the City Council requests to be in the report.
A notice of intent to circulate a petition submitted by William E. Cunningham,
Geni A. S. Banda, and Rufus A. ("Tex") Moore entitled An Initiative Ordinance
of the People of Redlands Establishing Principles of Managed Development and
a summary prepared by the City Attorney was published in the Redlands Daily
Facts on March 16, 1997. This report is required to be presented to the City
Council no later than 30 days after the City Clerk certifies to the City Council
the sufficiency of the petition. The report on the sufficiency of the petition is
tentatively scheduled for June 3, 1997. If the City Council orders a report on
the effect of this initiative ordinance, City Clerk Poyzer recommended it be
March 18, 1997
Page 11
submitted at the July 1, 1997, Council meeting as this is the time she plans to
present the resolution calling and giving notice of the November 4, 1997,
election. The cost of the reports prepared in 1995 for Measure H were:
Fiscal Impact Analysis - Stanley R. Hoffman& Associates $11,800.00
Planning Effect- Sharon Hightower Associates 13,200.00
Total Cost $25,000.00
Councilmember Gilbreath moved to refer the proposed initiative measure
entitled An Initiative Ordinance of the People of Redlands Establishing
Principles of Managed Development to staff for a report to be presented at the
July 1, 1997, meeting in accordance with Section 9212 of the California
Elections Code. The motion died for lack of a second. Councilmember
Cunningham felt it was a waste of money last time; that the reports were
available; and that the new initiative ordinance was a "new, improved, and
smoother" version.
ADJOURNMENT
