Providing the staff report (of record), Deputy City Manager Thornhill advised, for Councilman Naggar, that although staff is not privy to the future construction plans for Pechanga, the development of a convention center, hotel, full-service casino, RV camp ground would be feasible possibilities. By way of a PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Dave Gallaher, representing Temecula Valley Unified School District, commented on the challenges of funding a new school site, particularly a high school site, noting that traditionally the State funds 50% of the cost and local funds are allocated to cover the remaining 50%; referenced the projected cost of $55 million; highlighted the proposed sites of discussion (Redhawk High School (Site No. 1 ) - Fairview Road; Wolf Creek High School (Site No. 2) - Fairview Road; and Wolf Creek High School (Site No. 3) -Wolf Valley Road, commenting on accessibility and school enrollment); addressed the unique State funding opportunity (100%) available to the District for a high school site and its approval R:\Minutes\061300 6 requirements; and advised that in order for the new high school to open August 2002, approvals must be obtained by September 1, 2000. Relaying his concern with regard to the close proximity of High School Site No.1 and High School Site No. 2 to the casino, Mayor Pro Tem Comerchero questioned the School District's concern with the close proximity to which Mr. Gallaher noted that both sites would exceed the location requirements placed on schools as to close proximity of establishments serving alcohol. In an effort to prevent commuting, Mr. Gallaher noted that it would be the District's primary goal to locate the high school nearest to the children it will serve. Further addressing concerns/questions/issues raised by the City Council, Mr. Gallaher noted the following: · That High School No. 3 (Wolf Creek - Wolf Creek Valley Road) would actually be closer to the casino than Site Nos. 1 and 2; That with regard to Site No. I (Redhawk High School), State has approved the site as demographically acceptable but has not yet accepted the price; if the State were to accept the price, the entire project could be funded by the State; · That Site No. 2 (Wolf Creek - Fairview Road) has not been redeemed by the State; · That the Mitigation Fees have been reduced. In closing, Mr. Gallaher as well addressed the proposed Fairview Road improvements along with the construction of a high school. In response to Councilman Roberts' concern with the traffic impacts that a new high school will have to the areas of discussion, Mr. Gallaher advised of the following: · That the District and the City are working together in an effort to address traffic concerns prior to the construction of any school; · That there will always be a 15-minute traffic rush during the mornings and afternoons; · That the staggering of grades is difficult for those families that have siblings; · That the staggering of neighborhoods has proven to be of limited success. Mayor Stone thanked Mr. Gallaher and the Temecula Unified School District for allowing the City Council to be a part of the site selection process. Representing the owner of Wolf Creek, Mr. Sam Alhadeff, 41530 Enterprise Circle South, #120, stated the following: · That Assessment District No. 159 had met and that the County would like to meet with City representatives to discuss improvements; · That Site Nos. 1 and 2 will be over ¼ mile from the existing casino and that the distance of a future casino from those two sites would be even further away; · That 150' to 170' buffer along Pala Road will be in drainage swells and mature landscaping; R:\Minutes\061300 7 That the current property owner of the potential Wolf Creek High School (Site No. 3), in an effort to address traffic concerns/traffic mitigation, would be willing to provide another four acres to the high school site; Mr. Doc Nichols, 45912 Paseo Gallate, candidate for the upcoming School Board election, addressed safety concerns relative to the proposed high school sites, noting the following: · Traffic impact on Pala Road · Drinking near a high school · Close proximity of the casino In conclusion, Mr. Nichols relayed his opposition to the three proposed sites and recommended that other locations be explored. Favoring the Redhawk High School location the most, Mr. Wayne Hall, 42131 Agena Street, expressed concern with the close proximity of the casino to the proposed school sites. In light of the District's funding opportunity, Mayor Pro Tern Comerchero noted that the School District, the City Council, and City staff would work together to address those safety concerns to ensure that the selected site would provide the most optimum safety for the children. Although reluctant with the construction of a high school near a casino, Mr. Comerchero relayed that he would favor Site No. 1 (Redhawk). For Councilman Naggar, Mr. Gallaher addressed the feasible acreage of two other potential sites but commented on associated constraints. Not highly favoring any of the three proposed locations because of the close proximity to the casino, Councilman Roberts would support, ranked in priority, Site No. 1 (Redhawk), Site No. 2 0Nolf Creek - Fairview Road), and Site No. 3 (Wolf Creek - Wolf Creek Valley Road), noting that he would not view Site No. 3 as a viable alternative because of the traffic impact and its close proximity to the casino. Thanking the School District for allowing the City Council to be involved in the site selection process, Councilman Pratt relayed his support of Site No. 1 (Redhawk). Although opposing the construction of a high school at any of the noted locations, Mayor Stone relayed his understanding of the District's unique funding oppodunities and, therefore, expressed his support for Site No. 2 (Wolf Creek - Fairview Road), noting pedestrian accessibility to the site, surrounding developments, and the potential to eliminate traffic impacts. Addressing Site No. 3 (Wolf Creek - Wolf Creek Valley Road), Mr. Stone commented on the traffic impacts that site would create because of its close proximity to the elementary and middle school sites. Concurring with Mayor Stone, Councilman Roberts noted that Site No. 2 (Wolf Creek - Fairview Road) would provide pedestrian-friendlier access and noted that he chose Site No. 1 primarily because of time constraints and availability of State funding. Mayor Stone, echoed by Councilman Roberts, reiterated his preference for Site No. 2 (Wolf Creek - Fairview Road) and suggested that Site No. 1 (Redhawk) be considered as a site alternative if State funding were feasible. R:\Minutes\061300 8 Although not favoring any of the three proposed locations, Mayor Pro Tem Comerchero expressed his understanding of the District's constraints and, therefore, offered the following motion: MOTION: Mayor Pro Tem Comerchero moved to express the City Council's disapproval of any of the proposed three sites; but that if the District were to determine it essential to construct a high school on one of those sites, the Council would rank them in priority as follows: Site No. 2 (Wolf Creek - Fairview Road, Site No. 1 (Redhawk), and Site No. 3 (Wolf Creek - Wolf Creek Valley Road), with Site Nos. 2 and 1 being dependent upon available funding sources. The motion was seconded by Councilman Robeds and roll call vote reflected approval with the exception of Councilman Naggar who voted no. 14 Implementation of Special Tax - Measure C RECOMMENDATION: 14.1 Adopt a resolution entitled: RESOLUTION NO. 200043 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA ESTABLISHING THE AMOUNT OF THE SPECIAL TAX LEVY FOR FISCAL YEAR 2000-2001 TO FINANCE RECREATIONAL, COMMUNITY, AND HUMAN SERVICES PROGRAMS AND THE OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, AND SERVICING OF PUBLIC PARKS AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES, MEDIAN LANDSCAPING, AND ARTERIAL STREET LIGHTS AND TRAFFIC SIGNALS Community Services Director Parker provided the staff report (of record). By way of PowerPoint, Assistant Finance Director McDermott provided clarification on the cost of operations for parks, recreation, medians, and arterial street lighting services; commented on the recommended amount of $63.44 per single-family residential dwelling unit; and noted that the resident savings will be partially offset by the Revenue Excess Sharing in Temecula (REST) Program. MOTION: Councilman Roberts moved to approve the adoption of Resolution No. 200043. The motion was seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Comerchero and voice vote reflected unanimous approval. 15 Reservation of Community Service Fundinq [Chaparral Stadium) RECOMMENDATION: 15,1 Consider a reservation of unspent Community Service Funding and provide direction to staff as to the amount to reserve. Assistant Finance Director McDermott reviewed the staff report (as per agenda material), noting that the remaining available balance from the 1999-2000 Community Services Funding line-item budget is $44,700. R:\Minutes\061300 9 Mayor Stone applauded the School Board Trustees for allocating $465,000 for the Chaparral High School Stadium project. Recommending that the available Community Services Funding of $44,700 be designated for the All-Weather Track/snack bar/restrooms at the high school, Councilman Naggar noted that additional funds would be necessary to complete the project. By way of a video, Ms. Shari Crall, 31524 Britton Drive, representing the Chaparral High School Stadium Drive, relayed the desire for the construction of an All-Weather Track, which would cost $250,000; advised that the School Board did approve funding for bleachers; and briefly commented on the benefits to the overall community by constructing such a track. City Manager Nelson clarified staff's recommendation to reserve the $44,700 from 1999-2000 Community Services Funding to the 2000-2001 allocated funds. Mayor Pro Tem Comerchero suggested that this request be discussed in the confines of the Capital Budget Program (CIP). Councilman Naggar relayed his desire to allocate the $44,700 to the School District for the construction of an All-Weather Track. Because the City has two high schools, Mayor Stone relayed his support to discuss the matter during the CIP and, at which time, the construction of an All-Weather Track could be identified as a goal for either Chaparral High School or Temecula Valley High School but advised that he could not support the allocation until the full funding source has been determined. Mayor Pro Tem Comerchero reiterated his desire to discuss the matter at the upcoming CIP Workshop and suggested that the $44,700 be added to the CIP, leaving the remaining balance unfunded, and that when funding were available, the process would proceed. City Manager Nelson recommended that the $44,700 be considered during the CIP and that the City allocate funds on a matching grant basis. MOTION: Mayor Pro Tern Comerchero approved to include the AIl-Weather Track for Chaparral High School in the upcoming CIP and that any funds provided to the School District will be subject to matching funds. The motion was seconded by Councilman Roberts and voice vote reflected approval with the exception of Councilman Pratt who was absent (Councilman Pratt had briefly departed from the dais).

R:\Minutes\061300 10 As a member of the City Council Subcommittee, Councilman Naggar commented on the number of qualified individuals and advised that he had called each applicant to discuss the City's Growth Management Plan, its implementation, and each candidate's opinion on the Plan. Advising that his decision is based on what the residents in Temecula wanted as depicted in the November 1999 election and, therefore, Mr. Naggar recommended the appointment of Carl Ross and Darrell Connerton. Recapitulating his reasoning for his choice of candidates, Mayor Stone as well commented on the number of qualified individuals and addressed the City's Growth Management Plan. Having served the community for the past three years by filling a vacant position on the Planning Commission, Mayor Stone recommended the reappointment of Mr. Ron Guerriero. Commenting on her unselfish desire to serve the City, Mr. Stone recommended the appointment of Ms. Maryann Edwards. Advising that he would support the reappointment of Mr. Ron Guerriero, Mayor Pro Tem Comerchero commented on the qualifications of three candidates in particular Maryann Edwards, Darrell Connerton, and Dennis Chianieff.
