Lease - Redlands Municipal Airport - Councilmember Banda expressed excite-
ment about the concept presented by Coyote Aviation for the development of
lease parcel on the West Ramp at the Redlands Municipal Airport to develop a
project to construct hangers, restrooms, office areas, a lobby/pilot lounge and a
future restaurant. As cited in the staff report prepared by Public Works Director
Mutter, long term impact would be positive. Lease payment would be made to
the City, and with the development of these facilities on the West Ramp,
increased rental of City-owned tie-down spaces can be anticipated. This revenue
would be used to fund airport administration and operations. It would also
reduce the annual General Fund subsidy to the Special Aviation Fund and could
allow for some repayment of past subsidies. Representing Coyote Aviation, Gil
Brown told Councilmembers they are looking forward to this project. Council-
member Banda moved to approve the concept presented and directed staff to
begin the process of negotiating a lease, including the necessary appraisal for

COMMUNICATIONS
League of California Cities - Councilmember Banda reported that at a League
dinner meeting held last week, she asked that the League's year-end report
consolidating State legislation also include the information on the League's
stand and results. She asked that a committee be formed to development
communications with State legislators.
AB 1553 - Claim against the State - At the request of Mayor Cunningham, City
Manager Luebbers reviewed a demand letter dated September 17, 1999, from
Scott Wildman, Chairman of the State Joint Legislative Audit Committee, for a
detailed accounting of the $5.5 million dollar utility infrastructure cost in the
"donut hole" which will contribute to the decision on whether to direct the
Bureau of State Audits to conduct a comprehensive fiscal and performance
audit. This request came when Mayor Cunningham indicated that if AB 1553
was signed into law, the City would possibly submit a claim against the State
for reimbursement of these costs. Councilmembers felt this request was
premature; that the City Council would address filing a claim if AB 1553 is
signed by the Governor and becomes law in January, 2000. Mayor
Cunningham asked staff to contact the State Department of Finance and inquire
how to file a claim against the State.
Friends of Hillside Park Gropp - Mayor Cunningham reported the Hillside Park
Group has done a yeoman job during the past 18 months but that there is a great
September 21, 1999

deal more work to be done. He moved to accept the offer from this group to
form The Friends of Hillside Cemetery. Motion seconded by Councilmember
Banda and carried unanimously with Councilmember Gilbreath noting this
would not be a formal City committee under tax laws.
TCI Cablevision Complaints - Many cablevision customers have been
complaining about the recent actions of TCI regarding the HBO channel and
rate increase for the converter box and remote control now needed. Jerry
Hanson, the City Council liaison, reminded everyone that the City has a non-
exclusive franchise with TCI and that the City cannot control rates nor
programming. Stan McKenzie, TCI General Manager, addressed Council-
members explaining why this had to be done noting this is the first step towards
updating their obsolete equipment. Mayor Cunningham noted that TCI has
created quite a furor in this community and that if the City Council could
control TCI, they would.
Majestic "Payoff' Document - Mayor Cunningham reported a letter has been
received from Lathan and Watkins regarding our request for a copy of the
alleged "payoff' document stating this document is a figment of someone's
imagination.
Transit Center and Hotel - Mayor Cunningham felt there was a critical need to
review important development issues regarding the proposed Krikorian Theatre
expansion and the proposed transit center and asked Councilmembers to
consider holding a workshop study session on Thursday, September 23, 1999, at
9:00 A.M. Three Councilmembers had conflicts and would not be able to
attend. Mayor Cunningham said he and Councilmember Banda would be
present to receive any public input.
Fire Station No. 1 Rehabilitation Project - In response to Mayor Cunningham's
request, Public Works Director Mutter reviewed the status of the rehabilitation
project for Fire Station No. 1. The contract for the door expansion has been
approved and the next two phases are in plan check.
Lawsuits Report - City Attorney McHugh provided a memorandum at Mayor
Cunningham's request regarding cost of litigation initiated by the City in the last
two years; litigation brought against or by the City as a direct result of the
passage of Measure U; the cost to the City for defense of the three Majestic
lawsuits against the City and Timberlake; the cost of the City for the defense of
the lawsuit against the City and Lowe's; and the last time the City lost a land use
lawsuit. Bob Roberts said the analysis is only for lawsuits initiated by the City
during the past two years but felt the relevant analysis is now much in litigation
costs has been incurred as a result of the actions of Bill Cunningham as Mayor
and previously as a member of the Redlands Unified School District. His
analysis estimated that cost at $3 million to $5 million in attorneys fees and
staff time. Mayor Cunningham rebutted Mr. Roberts points which in turn
September 21, 1999

and Mr. Roberts.

submitted a letter on September 15, 1999,. asking the City Council to join them

Freedman, Personnel Analyst Olsen reported research was done on what was
involved to amend the City's contract with the California Public Employees'
Retirement System (PERS) to add the option of purchasing service credit for

served in the military to "buy" those years of service and add it to their service
credit as pubic service for retirement purposes. Employee payments to PERS for
this purpose can be spread over several years and submitted via payroll
deduction. There is no employee cost associated with this amendment.

Page 8
Development Director Shaw reviewed the application and the Planning
Commission's recommendation for approval. He also noted the Fiscal Impact
Cost would theoretically be less than reflected on the Cost Benefit Study.
However, the only way for the model to determine the actual costs under fire
and police services would be to expand the Non-residential Uses category to
reflect several different categories. This would require a fairly extensive
revision to the current Cost Benefit Model but would render a more precise
service cost analysis. However, there is no funding available to modify the
model at this time. Councilmember George and Mayor Cunningham both felt
the model needed to be revised to make it more accurate.
Mayor Cunningham declared the meeting open as a public hearing for any
questions or comments. Representing the Vista Loma Homeowners Association,
Mr. Walker Clute thanked the applicant for their concerns and efforts as related
to the neighboring condominiums and reported that an agreement has been
reached with Yocum-Baldwin regarding the mutual wall engineering and land-
scaping. Councilmember George extended his compliments to the Vista Loma
Homeowners Association and Yocum-Baldwin for their cooperation and
willingness to address the concerns. There being no further comments, the
public hearing was declared closed. Councilmember Banda moved to approve
the Environmental Review Committee's Negative Declaration for Planning
Commission Review and Approval No. 703 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 71.1.2 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 Freedman and carried
unanimously. Councilmember Banda moved to approve the Socio-Economic
Cost Benefit Study for Planning Commission Review and Approval No. 703 as
the project will not create unmitigable physical blight or over-burden public
services in the community, and no additional information or evaluation is
needed, and that the proposed project is an infill development within an existing
light industrial park and will not require the installation of any infrastructure or
street improvements; as it is not a growth inducing development, it will not
have a negative impact on the City's social services. Motion seconded by
Councilmember Freedman and carried unanimously. Councilmember Banda
moved to approve Planning Commission Review and Approval No. 703 subject
to the following findings and the Conditions of Approval attached to the staff
report:
1. That the site for this proposed development is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the use and other features required in order to adjust the use
to those existing or permitted future uses in the vicinity;
2. That the project site for this proposed infill development properly relates to
the adjacent public streets which are designed to carry the type and quantity
of traffic generated or to be generated by this proposed use;
September 21, 1999
Page 9
3. That the proposed use is desirable for the development of the community, is
consistent with the policies, goals and objectives of the Redlands General
Plan and is not detrimental to existing or planned uses in the vicinity of the
proposed project; and
4. That the conditions set forth in the permit and shown on the submitted site
plan are necessary to protect the public health, safety or general welfare.
Motion seconded by Councilmember Freedman and carried unanimously.

reviewed the application and the Planning Commission's recommendation for
approval , and reported the applicant has requested a continuance to October 5,
1999, due to the fact that their representative could not attend this meeting.
Mayor Cunningham declared the meeting open as a public hearing for any
questions or comments. Mike Kelly, Redlands Trails Committee, asked that the
map be returned for their review as it is not satisfactory at this time. He
promised they would call a special meeting prior to October 5, 1999, to review
the map and make recommendations. Councilmember Gilbreath moved to
continue this public hearing to October 5, 1999. Motion seconded by
Councilmember Banda and carried unanimously.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Adult-Oriented Businesses - City Attorney McHugh presented two ordinances
amending Chapter 8.76 of the Redlands Municipal Code relating to adult use
businesses. These ordinances follow up on the City Council decision on
September 7, 1999, to adopt an urgency ordinance amending the City's adult
business regulations. After again reviewing the City's Code and hearing the
comments of Mr. Diamond, the attorney for Deja Vu, staff suggested certain
additional code amendments be made. The ordinances are necessary to update
the City's Code both in terms of the definitions for particular types of adult
business and to provide operational standards in keeping with current case law
designed to eradicate the secondary effects associated with these types of
businesses. The proposed ordinances establish reasonable time, place and
manner restrictions on adult uses. The offered studies and cases which have
been made available for the City Council and are located in the City Attorney's
Office and in the City Clerk's Office, provide the evidentiary and factual
foundation to reasonably conclude that adult businesses create serious and
deleterious secondary effects and that the proposed operating standards are
needed to combat these secondary effects. The proposed ordinances enact
comprehensive operating standards including: making technical amendments
relating to permit approvals and appeals and providing for prompt judicial
September 21, 1999
Page 10
review; precluding direct touching between patrons and performers of live adult
entertainment facilities; requiring that performers and patrons maintain a 10
foot distance separation; and precluding direct tipping or payment for live
entertainment performers. City Attorney McHugh reviewed the recent changes
in case law pertaining to the regulation of adult uses which support the
recommendation for changes to the Code regulating adult businesses. Adopting
the proposed ordinances provides comprehensive operational standards for adult
businesses provides the City with the mechanism to thoroughly and
aggressively regulate the harmful secondary effects of these businesses. The
proposed ordinances strike the requisite balance between the City's interests in
protecting the public safety, health and welfare and the constitutional protection
afforded adult businesses. Ordinance No. 2423 is an urgency ordinance which
would take effect immediately provided there are at least four affirmative votes
of Councilmembers.
Ordinance No. 2423 - Adult-Oriented Businesses - Ordinance No. 2423, an
urgency ordinance of the City of Redlands amending Chapter 8.76 of the
Redlands Municipal Code relating to the operation of adult-oriented businesses
and repealing Ordinance No. 2421, was read by title only by City Clerk Poyzer,
and on motion of Councilmember Banda, seconded by Councilmember
Freedman, further reading of the ordinance text was unanimously waived and
Ordinance No. 2423 was adopted, as an urgency ordinance, by the following
vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Banda, Gilbreath, Freedman, George;
Mayor Cunningham
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
Ordinance No. 2424 - Adult-Oriented Businesses - Ordinance No. 2424, an
ordinance of the City of Redlands amending Chapter 8.76 of the Redlands
Municipal Code relating to the operation of adult-oriented businesses and
repealing Ordinance No. 2421, was read by title only by City Clerk Poyzer, and
on motion of Councilmember Banda, seconded by Councilmember Freedman,
further reading of the ordinance text was unanimously waived, and Ordinance
No. 2424 was introduced with unanimous Council approval and laid over under
the rules with adoption scheduled for October 5, 1999.
