Director Shaw reported another meeting was held with Mr. Krikorian to discuss
an alternate site for the transportation center and the expansion of the theater
and his architect; no final decision was made nor was a subsequent meeting
scheduled although Mr. Krikorian does not feel he can incorporate the packing
house in his plan. Public Works Director Mutter reported the design of the
transit center is in progress and it is scheduled to go to bid after the first of the
year. At this time, a new location could jeopardize the project as we are faced
with a June 30, 2000, deadline to complete the process to receive the
transportation grant funds. Mayor Cunningham suggested another study session
be scheduled the week after the election (November 2, 1999) for all interested
parties to continue discussions.

history of ordinances regulating adult-oriented businesses noting the City has
made the ordinances as strict as legally possible. Ordinance No. 2424 will take

will enforce any and all applicable sections after the ordinance become
effective; his department will consult with the City Attorney regarding
enforcement techniques.
Resolution No. 5700 - Interpretive Pedestrian Strollway - Councilmember
George explained that SANBAG approved a combined Call for Projects for
both the Transportation Enhancement Activities (TEA) and TDA Article 3
programs on August 4, 1999, and he submitted a project under the pedestrian or
bike facilities category entitled Interpretive Pedestrian Strollway with Mary
Petite's assistance. The scope of the project includes the historic area bounded
on the north by Pearl. Avenue, on the south by Olive Avenue, on the east by
Sixth Street, and the west by a line running south on Eureka Street to Redlands
Boulevard, west of Redlands Boulevard to Buena Vista Street, and southeast on
Buena Vista Street to Olive Avenue. This project will provide a self-guided
walking tour of the downtown area to emphasize the cultural and historic
character of Redlands and educate people to appreciate the historical treasurer
we have in Redlands. Signs will be installed at the bottom of both the Orange
Street and Sixth Street off-ramps of the I-10 Freeway directing motorists to the
Shoppers Lane area between Eureka and Orange Streets to begin the tour.
Buildings and/or historical sites to be included on the tour are the Santa Fe
October 19, 1999
Page 5
Depot, Crittenden Building, Phinney Building, Zanja, Citrus Building, Cope
Building, City Hall, Smiley Library, Lincoln Memorial Shrine, Redlands Bowl,
and Redlands Post Office. Letters of supports for this project have been
received from the Redlands Area Historical Society, Redlands Conservancy,
and Downtown Redlands Business Association. Asking for the City Council's

Projects for the Interpretive Pedestrian Strollway. Motion seconded by
Councilmember Banda and carried unanimously. Mayor Cunningham
complimented Councilmember George for his efforts to obtains the funds.
Sacramento Lobby - Councilmember Freedman said the veto of AB 1.553
could not have been accomplished without intense effort on the part of the City
Council and members of our community and without the assistance of Sande
George and Associates as a Sacramento lobbyist. He thanked all who
participated in this process. Councilmember Freedman felt it was imperative
that the City continue to have representation in Sacramento at the earliest stages
of the 2000 legislative season, and asked for the City Council's support and
moved to direct the City Manager to initiate asking for quotes for lobbying
services and to report back to the City Council for its consideration; motion
seconded by Councilmember Banda. Councilmember Gilbreath felt the League
of California Cities involvement in State legislative matters was sufficient and
much more cost effective. Councilmember George indicated he was willing to
look at costs but warned he may not be supportive if the cost was excessive.
The motion carried with Councilmember Gilbreath voting NO.
Federal Disaster Recovery Funds - Public Works Director Mutter announced
the City of Redlands has been preliminarily awarded a $1 million Federal
Disaster Recovery Initiative grant from the Department of Housing and
Community Development's CDBG program. These funds will be used for a
long-needed storm drain improvement project of the Zanja at Redlands
Boulevard and Ninth Street. He commended Mary Petite for her research and
preparation of the presentation for this grant application. This award is
contingent upon the Department of Housing and Urban Development's approval
of the State's Action Plan.
AB 1553 - A letter from Governor Gray Davis, explaining his stance on
AB 1553's veto, indicated that if no progress is made on a fair and equitable
resolution of the development of the property known as the Donut Hole and
service responsibility issues, that he would look favorably on similar legislation
next year. Mayor Cunningham felt the City should pursue the possibility of a
mediator to work with the City and property owners. He suggested contacting
the Governor's Office for assistance. Charles House, board member of the
United Donut Hole Property Owners Association which represents
approximately 90 percent of the assessed valuation of the property in the Donut
October 19, 1999
Page 6
Hole, addressed the City Council regarding the mediation proposal. Mr. House
informed Councilmembers that his association is not interested in being a pawn
in the upcoming election and reviewed the problems they have with the
mediation proposal and presented suggestions as how to proceed with "good
faith" negotiations. He closed his lengthy comments requesting the City
Council meet with them after the November election and come to a "win win"
resolution. Councilmembers discussed this matter at length with Mayor
Cunningham leading this discussion. Councilmember George felt we owed
Governor Davis a great deal for this courage to veto this bill, and expressed his
desire for both sides to get together and negotiate this before it has to go back to
the Governor. Mayor Cunningham expressed his delight to find some one
(referring to Mr. House) who was willing to sit down at the table to negotiate a
development agreement. He and Councilmember Banda expressed their
willingness to represent the City at the negotiations.

PRESENTATION
Live Oak Grove - Tentative Tract No. 15469, located south of the terminus of

flora and fauna. She also felt that changes were needed to the layout of the lots
and roads. Encouraging the City Council to accept this offer were: Peter
Coonradt, Ted Balph, John Nill Hoefs, and Anne Monike. Councilmembers
were most appreciative of this generous offer from Mrs. Banta and discussed
the tax implications for her as well as the need for the Mr. Gresham (Ross)
Roskamp, the developer, to be willing to change the configuration of his
development. Councilmember Freedman moved to continue this discussion to
the November 2, 1999, meeting to allow Mrs. Banta and Mr. Roskamp to have a
meeting. Motion seconded by Councilmember George and carried with
Councilmember Cunningham voting NO as he wanted to act at this meeting.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Resolution No. 5703 - Stop Sins - Public Works Director Mutter reported the
Traffic and Parking Commission unanimously recommended denial of a request
for a four-way stop at the intersection of Palm Avenue and Grove Street by
installing stop signs on. Grove Street at its meeting held on. July 22, 1999. An
appeal to this recommendation was filed by Councilmember Freedman.
Initially, the request was submitted to the Traffic and Parking Commission by
Damon Bogan, 1314 East Palm Avenue. Currently, there are stop signs on
Palm Avenue but not on Grove Street. the primary reason for the existing stop
signs on Palm Avenue is to force the east and west bound traffic to stop and
cross a gutter dip located along the east side of Grove Street at a slow speed to
prevent potential injury to passengers and vehicles. Research of the reported
accidents at this intersection indicated there was one reported accident in 1999,
two in 1998, two in 1997, two in 1996, and one in 1994. Based on the
accidents, this intersection does not meet the accident warrant according to the
Caltrans Traffic Manual. The intersection also does not meet the warrant for a
minimum traffic volume outlined in the Caltrans Traffic Manual in order to
qualify for a four-way stop intersection. According to the Institute of
Transportation Engineers, stop signs should not be installed arbitrarily. The
stop sign causes interruption to the smooth flow of traffic and inconvenience to
the drivers. This may result in forcing drivers to use an alternative route which
was originally not designed to accommodate the increased traffic flow, causing
additional traffic problems. The stop sign also reduced efficiency of the vehicle,
increases wear and tear on the vehicle, and contributes to air pollution. Public
Works Director Mutter concluded that it is important to recognize that
standards, policies, and guidelines issued by the State of California, Caltrans,
and the Institute of Traffic Engineers, which are based on years of studies,
experiments, analyses using accumulated traffic engineering knowledge, have
proven to work in the real world. Variance from standards, policies, and
guidelines should only be considered in exceptional cases. Calling the
October 19, 1999
Page 9
intersection dangerous and urging the City Council to authorize the installation
of stops signs on Grove Street were nearby residents: Lucyndi Bogan, Robert
M. Jaime, and Damon Bogan. A petition supporting this request and
representing 20 households near the intersection was also submitted by Mr.
Bogan. Councilmember Freedman moved to approve this appeal and adopt
Resolution No. 5703, 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: erect stop signs on Grove Street at Palm Avenue
making the intersection of Palm Avenue and Grove Street a four-way stop.
Motion seconded by Councilmember Banda and carried unanimously.
Pre-Annexation Agreement - Mountainview Power Company - Community
Development Director Shaw reported that as a part of the negotiations with
Mountainview Power Company regarding annexation of land they own at the
northeast corner of Mountain View Avenue and San Bernardino Avenue, it was
agreed that Mountainview Power would request approval of a pre-annexation
agreement. A revised copy of the proposed pre-annexation agreement was
received via facsimile on Monday, October 18, 1999, and extends the
completion date to February 1, 2000. Councilmember Freedman moved to
approve the Pre-Annexation Agreement between the City of Redlands and
Mountainview Power Company with the finding that this action is exempt from
the California Environmental Quality Act under Section 15061(b)(3). Motion
seconded by Councilmember Banda and carried unanimously.
NEW BUSINESS
Agreement - CH2M-Hill - Donut Hole Issues - Municipal Utilities Director
Phelps reported in August of 1996, the City of Redlands entered into an
Agreement to Furnish Engineering Consulting Services on Water and
Wastewater Issues with the firm of CH2M-Hill. The Water and Wastewater
Issues Study was comprised of individual "task orders" for engineering
consulting support to the City of Redlands associated with development in the
Donut Hole. The Water and Wastewater Issues Study anticipated that there
would be a continuing effort by CH2M-Hill to provide additional services
through task orders by amendment to our agreement as future situations
required. Currently, the City of Redlands is faced with the requirement to
provide a response to the Joint Legislative Audit Committee of the California
Legislature regarding the value of municipal utility facilities that serve the
Donut Hole. This will require a study of the cost, economic, and engineering
factors to determine the value of the City's investment in the Donut Hole. At
the City Council meeting on October 5, 1999, the City Council ordered that the
City retain the firm of CH2M-Hill to audit our investments in the Donut Hole.
City Manager Luebbers noted the amendment should not exceed the amount of
$13,400.00 which is remaining from the amounts that were previously
anticipated and authorized for CH2M-Hill for prior task orders. This amount
may not complete research needed and staff may have to return to the City
October 19, 1999
Page 10
Council for an additional appropriation. Councilmember Freedman moved to
approve Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement to Furnish Engineering Consulting
Services on Water and Wastewater issues with CH2M-Hill in an amount not to
exceed $13,400.00; motion seconded by Councilmember Banda.
Councilmember Gilbreath felt the State should do the audit without cost to the
taxpayers of Redlands. Councilmember Cunningham questioned if this matter
could be continued until after the election. City Manager Luebbers responded
the State Committee gave us a deadline which has expired but that they are
awaiting action tonight before proceeding. He indicated he could ask for a two
week continuance not knowing when we would "cross the line." The motion
then carried with Councilmember Gilbreath voting NO.
Minor Subdivision. No. 245 - Dry Sewer Requirement Waiver - Municipal.
Utilities Director Phelps reported a request has been received from Urban
Environs, representing John D. McAlearney, Jr., Trustee of the Clan McTrust
UDT, to waive the dry sewer requirement for Minor Subdivision No. 245
located on Chaparral Drive, south of Sunset Drive. Staff has reviewed the
written request and determined that the three items noted in the request do
comply with the three requirements of Section 13.44.080.D of the Redlands
Municipal Code and provide the basis for the City Council action to waive the
dry sewer requirement. Councilmember Banda moved to waive the dry sewer
requirement for Minor Subdivision No. 245. Motion seconded by
Councilmember Cunningham and carried unanimously.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
AB 1553 - Donut Hole - Mr. Robert Rappuchi asked Councilmember Gilbreath
whether or not she supported AB 1553. She responded that she had been
contacted by Senator Brulte but declined to sign a letter of support.
