The motion carried as follows: AYES: 5 COMMISSIONERS: Comerchero, Edwards, Miller, Nimeshein, Henz NOES: o COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: o COMMISSIONERS: None 2 TCSD Levv/Soecial Tax/Budget FY 1997-98 Community Services Director Shawn Nelson presented the staff report. Chairman Henz expressed a concern that residents do not recognize their designated street sweeping days and continue to park on the streets on those days. Chairman Henz questioned whether or not those individuals could be ticketed. Development Services Administrator Phyllis Ruse explained that in order to ticket these cars, the City would have to establish an ordinance and post signs. Because the hauler R:\minutes\051297.csd . . has the authority to change the day on which they haul and/or sweep a particular route, this may require that the signage be changed. Staff and the hauler has decided the best approach is to enforce the "no street parking" through public education. Director Nelson suggested that CR&R take the following steps to ensure the public is complying with the established guidelines for the solid waste program: Provide each resident with a mailer reminding them of their trash/street sweeping day Send information to the Homeowner's Association Board of Directors Propose that CR&R do an aggressive campaign to enforce this program Commissioner Comerchero said he feels maintaining a positive relationship between the Police Department and the public is very important and having some portions of a street dirty could be overlooked to avoid a breakdown in the law enforcement's relations with the public. This report was receive and file. 3. Trail System Interoretive Plaaues Deputy Director Herman Parker presented the staff report.

R:\minutes\051297.Csd . . Commissioner Edwards said he does not feel the museum is the appropriate choice. Commissioner Comerchero concurred with Commissioner Edwards. He stated that he agrees the responsibility of historical preservation should be with a non-profit organization, however he does not feel the museum has shown any interest with regards to this issue since their formation and therefore another organization should be asked to take on this project or a group be formed to address the need for historical preservation. Commissioner Miller agreed with Commissioners Edwards and Comerchero. Director Nelson suggested one or two members of the Commission become involved in forming a non-profit historical society. Commissioner Nimeshein said although the Temecula Museum did not present themselves well in this area, he feels they should be given the first opportunity to work on this issue. He suggested that if they were given the guidelines and opportunities, as well as the support of the City, they may be willing to take an active role in historical preservation. Commissioners Miller and Edwards volunteered to go before the Temecula Museum Board and ask them if they have an interest in taking an active role in historical site preservation in the City of Temecula.
