in California; that one reported case was reported today in the Imperial County which
totals two human cases this year; that counties that have tested positive for chickens
and birds are Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, Los Angeles, Imperial, and San
Diego County;
. That less than 10% of the mosquito population carries this disease; that most
individuals who are bit will not get the disease; that, in fact, on average less than 1 % of
the individuals who are bit by an infected mosquito show clinical symptoms; that for
those who do show symptoms, the most common one is West Nile Fever, which are flu-
like symptoms, but is not fatal.
For Councilman Roberts, Mr. Murray relayed that horses show similar symptoms to those of
humans; that horses are more susceptible then people; that there is a higher percentage of
horses that may get sick and die from this disease; that there is a three-step vaccination
program that is available but is costly and does not guarantee that the horse will not have
symptoms or get sick; and that it does make the horse less susceptible from dying from the
West Nile Virus.
For Mayor Stone, Mr. Murray noted that the West Nile Virus is a mosquito-born disease and
cannot be transmitted through kissing or touching or anything of that nature; however, he noted
that there is evidence where a mother transmitted it to her baby and another case where it
involved a blood transfusion; and that there is no evidence that you may contract this virus from
animals.
Federal Leaislation Update bv David Turch
Thanking the City Council for retaining the services of his firm as the City's federal lobbyist, Mr.
Turch shared with the Council federal legislation updates, commenting on various Appropriation
Bills as well as the deadline delay with regard to the T21 Bill and advising that he would keep
the City apprised of its status.
Councilman Comerchero relayed, on behalf of the City Council, that it has been a pleasure to
have Mr. Turch as the City's lobbyist in Washington.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mr. George Di Leo, 32871 Rovato Street, expressed concern with the traffic on Highway 79
South.
Councilman Roberts relayed that if the Senator of California would allow the City of Temecula to
take control over the highway, it would simplify matters with regard to improvements.
Mr. Chuck Washington and Ms. Lisa Ferguson, representing the Theatre Foundation, presented
a check for $100,000.00 to the City. Ms. Ferguson noted that the Theatre Foundation was
eagerly pursuing its million-dollar goal; that the two major fundraisers have been the Gold
Tournament and the Temecula on Stage Event; that Temecula on Stage Event broke all records
and profited $15,000 net; and that last year, the Foundation had raised $85,000 and this year
$115,000. It was noted that this event would not have been possible without the support of the
Temecula residents.

organization whose goal is to prepare neighborhoods for unexpected situations ranging from
national disasters to terrorist activity; that the responsibilities include assisting with community
needs in times of disaster (ensuring self-sufficiency for 48 to 72 hours following a major
disaster), streamline communication with professional emergency personnel in times of disaster,
damage assessment of buildings and homes, home disaster preparedness, crime prevention,
and neighborhood and personal safety training; and that the mission statement encompasses
the organization's desire to establish and maintain effective methods of communication between
the City's public safety agencies and the community to promote safety, security, and emergency
preparedness for the benefit of all residents. She noted that the City is the first City in the
nation to embrace, develop, and implement this program to this magnitude. To ensure the
success of the program, she advised that the TCC will need to recruit as many citizens as
possible, commenting on an upcoming meeting on Wednesday, October 29, 2003, at 6:00 p.m.
to 8:30 p.m to introduce the newest recruits, volunteers, and staff and representatives of each of
the participating public safety agencies, advising that this meeting will provide an opportunity to

disaster preparedness, personal safety, and training information will be provided, and that more
information is available on the City's web page.
Ms. Arbogast extended a special thanks to Mayor Pro Tem Naggar and Councilman
Comerchero for having the vision and forethought to spearhead such a great program and
