A_~reement for Maintenance of Traffic SiEnaIs and Safety l,i~hting
Councilmember Lindemans stated he feels this contract is excessively costly and requested
staff look into other options.
City Manager Aleshire reported this contract is for 24-hour a day maintenance of traffic
lights. He further stated that lights are run on computers and these people have the
equipment and the knowledge to handle this service. He stated if Council preferred he
could have the new City Manager take a survey of how other cities handle this
maintenance.
Councilmember Mufioz questioned response time required in the contract. Mr. Aleshire
answered that every call will be answered, and time to restore service will depend on the
problem.
Councilmember Mufioz also asked if liability would totally rest upon the City instead of
the County. City Attorney Fields stated that on short term, high liability contracts, the
County would act more as a City employee and would place all liability with the City. He
stated that in long term contracts this would not be the case.
It was moved by Councilmember Lindemans, seconded by Councilmember Birdsall to
authorize the Mayor to execute an agreement for traffic signals and safety lighting with
Riverside County.

,~oecial Outdoor Event Permits (Parades)
Councilmember Birdsall stated she has concerns with this item and would like to refer it
back to staff with a direction to set up an ad hoc committee to review an appropriate
resolution. She said she felt two resolutions, one for parades and one for special events
would be a better solution.
Councilmember Mufioz asked that there be an indication of how far in advance these
permits should be started and also suggested a cost of living clause.
Mayor Parks agreed with setting up a seven-member, ad hoc committee comprising of a
representative from the Council, representatives from the Chamber of Commerce, the
Town Association and the public at large. He suggested appointing Councilmember
Birdsall as the Council's representative and asked the City Manager to put together this
committee.

Tentative Parcel Map 23513
Councilmember Lindemans stated he felt this item should not be received and filed and
warranted a public hearing. He said this area is a large open space and residents should
have the opportunity to voice their opinions.
Minutes 6/26/90 5
Councilmember Mufioz expressed his concern with respect to grading. He said the
Council made a statement that it did not want the hill tops flattened. He requested
recommendations from staff on what appropriate grading levels would be. He also
requested before and after sketches for projects.
Mayor Parks said he has a problem with setting this item for public hearing since it has
already gone through the County process and been approved. He stated this would cost
the City $2,000 to $3,000 with the outcome likely remaining the same. He asked staff if
all property owners were notified regarding the County Public Hearing. Ross Geller,
Planning Director, stated they were notified.
It was moved by Councilmember Lindemans, seconded by Councilmember Mufioz to set
for public hearing.

Copies Purchase
Councilmember Lindemans stated he felt the cost of the copier was much too high and
staff should look into leasing a machine for City use. He further stated the Kodak machine
had limitations that other machines did not have, such as the inability to enlarge and use
large paper. He said he felt the City should use local merchants whenever possible.
Joe Hreha, Manager of Information Systems, stated the copier recommended is a high
speed machine, primarily for the purpose of producing high volumes of copies such as
agendas every week. He stated the plan is to purchase a high speed copier to do this kind
of work and a smaller one for the more specialized copying needs.
Councilmember Birdsall said she felt staff had done a thorough study on the purchase of
a copier, but would agree to looking at a lease vs. purchase.
Councilmember Lindemans moved, Councilmember Mufioz seconded a motion to continue
this item off-calendar, and direct staff to look at lease options for this equipment.

turn pockets have been designed. He said the County has allowed the developer to proceed
with striping plans.
Councilmember Mufioz informed Larry Markham, representing the developer, that he has
received phone calls from current tenants expressing their concern with insufficient parking
when the Lube and Tune is built. Mr. Markham said the Lube and Tune has been on the
approved plot plan from the inception of the project and the development is in compliance
with parking requirements.

the City's sign ordinance and recommended this situation be corrected as soon as possible.

24. Traffic Safety Measure Allocation of Fund~
City Manager Aleshire reported that at a previous meeting the City Council formed an
advisory committee made up of Councilmember Lindemans, Max Gillis and the City
8
Manager. He said the recommendations listed in the staff report are the result of their
work. He requested endorsing the list of projects and adding any projects the Council
wished. He said it would be appropriate to hire someone to coordinate this program,
allocate $200,000 and begin to get the work done.
Councilmember Lindemans stated Max Gillis has agreed to be the facilitator if it is the will
of the Council and the new City Manager at no charge to the City. Councilmember
Lindemarts suggesting changing the allocation to $250,000 and allocate this amount to be
repaid from the capital improvements budget.
Mayor Parks recommended referring this issue to the Ad Hoc Traffic Committee until the
Traffic Safety Commission is appointed. He said this committee could establish a priority
list for projects needed and since this is an established committee they are familiar with
these issues and could solve the problem quickly.
Councilmember Mufioz asked that we do not stretch this process over months instead of
days or weeks. He stressed the importance of solving these matters in a timely fashion.
Mayor Parks stated he was not in favor of having one individual doing this job, but felt
a very qualified committee of seven people could solve these problems faster and more
effectively.
Councilmember Birdsall moved, Councilmember Lindemans seconded a motion to allocate
$200,000 to be administered under the auspices of the Temecula Traffic Committee
utilizing the services of Mr. Max Gillis as facilitator; and further direct staff to notify the

15. City of Temecula Personnel Policies
City Manager Aleshire reported that the Council authorized the hiring of a consultant to
put together a personnel policy, which is before the Council tonight. He recommended
the Council take action to adopt these personnel rules. He said two actions are needed:
first, adoption of an ordinance setting up the frame work for establishing rules, which
requires two readings and a 30 day waiting period, and second adoption of a resolution
establishing rules and procedures governing attendance and leaves.
Mr. Aleshire outlined the rules and recommended taking action on these items.
introduced Mike Deblieux from the consulting firm of IEM to answer questions.
He
Minutes 6/26/90 10
Councilmember Mufioz stated he felt that 18 days comprehensive leave/sick time was too
high and did not compare with the private sector.
Mr. Deblieux answered that the number was conservative in comparison to most other
cities in which employees are allowed a total of 22 days. He explained that the 18 days
combined sick and vacation time serves as an incentive to employees to be more consistent
in their attendance.
Councilmember Mufioz stated that many people want to work for the City of Temecula,
and the City does not need to over-compensate employees.
Mayor Parks declared a one minute break at 9:45 PM to change the tape.
Councilmember Mufioz also questioned the length of time-off with pay for jury duty,
stating the vast majority of cases that go to trial only last two weeks.
It was moved by Councilmember Mufioz, seconded by Councilmember Lindemans to
adopt Resolution No. 90-67 with the amendment to reduce the comprehensive annual leave
for the first year to 15 days, 17 days for the second and third year, and to amend the
managerial leave to 19 days the first year and 21 days for the second and third year. Jury
duty was amended to 30 days with pay, instead of 90 days with pay.

17. Plot Plan 11499 - Appeal No. 3
Ross Geller stated this item contains two parts; a request for plot plan approval and an
appeal. He stated the plot plan has been approved by the County Planning Director and
1/3 of the site is proposed to be landscaped.
Tim Serlet, City Engineer, stated this case is similar to several others appealed to the
Council recently. The project was submitted to the County when all new developments
were conditioned with a traffic study and required to meet those conditions. Mr. Serlet
recommended not requiring the applicant to improve the intersection but rather to pay a
fair share of fees, and deposit $10,000 as a good faith measure.
It was moved by Councilmember Birdsall, seconded by Councilmember Lindemans to
approve staff recommendations to 1) uphold the appeal, subject to the recommendations
of the City Traffic Engineer, based on findings and analysis contained in the County
report. 2) Approve Plot Plan No. 11499, based on the analysis and findings contained in

Report by Temecula Commerce Committee on Suggested Sign Ordinance
Amendments
City Manager Aleshire reported he received a recommendation from the Temecula
Commerce Committee founded to consider amendments to the sign ordinance. He
suggested taking the suggestions from the committee and having the City Attorney prepare
an ordinance. Mr. Aleshire stated these amendments deal directly with the use of balloons
as an acceptable form of advertising. He introduced John Bell, spokesperson for the
Commerce Committee, to make a presentation.
John Bell, 27711 Diaz Road, gave a presentation to Council stating Temecula has
unofficially been labeled "The Balloon Capital of Southern California" and stated many
merchants have capitalized on Temecula's festive image by using balloons as a form of
advertising. He said the present sign ordinance does not provide a vehicle in which
merchants can apply for temporary forms of outdoor advertising. He reported that on July
1, 1990, all balloons must come down without an amendment to this ordinance. He said
the committee has included in its report a draft proposal which was formulating using other
cities as a guide including: San Marcos, Escondido, Vista, Oceanside, Corona and City
of Industry.
Councilmember Birdsall stated she would like the period not to exceed fifteen consecutive
days within any 90 day, not 60 day period.
Councilmember Mufioz stated he would like stricter limits, and asked Council if it is
willing to accept the fact that everyone could have a balloon.
Ed Morale, Commerce Committee, spoke regarding an informal survey taken. Of 200
people, only one objected to the use of balloon advertising in Temecula, and that person
was in opposition to a tethered balloon which could be a hazard.
City Attorney Fields said that all zoning ordinances must first go to the Planning
Commission for Public Hearings and then would be brought back to the City Council. He
stated this is a rather lengthy process taking anywhere from six to nine months. He
suggested adopting a moratorium amending standards for up to one year period of time,
while planning is reviewing the Ordinance.
Minutes 6/26/90 13
It was moved by Councilmember Lindemans, seconded by Councilmember Birdsall to
direct staff to prepare a moratorium ordinance permitting use of specific balloons as
suggested by the committee and incorporating changes suggested by Council to raise the
time limit to read not to exceed fifteen consecutive days of use within a 90 day period.

20. Town Center Traffic Improvements
City Manager Aleshire reported the owners of the Town Center on Ynez and Rancho
Califomia Road would like to have a traffic signal installed. He stated a traffic signal is
warranted and should be installed. Also suggested was the closure of the left turn pocket
located adjacent to Marie Calendar's. He said Rancho California Water District is willing
to install a pilot planting program in the medians east of Ynez that would feature low water
usage landscaping.
Mr. Aleshire recommended the following:
a. Install a traffic signal at the main entrance to the shopping center.
b. Close the existing median cut at the westerly driveway to the shopping center.
Minutes 6/26/90 14
c. Reimburse developer for improvements out of future sales tax revenues.
do
Request Rancho Water District to install pilot planting program in the medians east
of Ynez Road.
Councilmember Mufioz asked when the signal would be installed. Mr. Aleshire stated all
work should be completed by late November, 1990.
Mayor Parks called a one minute break to change the tape at 11:00 PM.
Councilmember Mufioz questioned the reasoning behind closing the Marie Calendar
entrance into the center, suggesting this may cause an increased traffic build up.
City Manager Aleshire stated this was recommended after the traffic study conducted by
Willdan.
Lisa Peterson, 28765 Single Oak Drive, representing Bedford properties voiced her
objection to the proposed reimbursement to the developer for improvements out of futures
sales tax revenues. She stated all developers had paid signal mitigation fees, and this
developer should not be singled out for reimbursement.
Councilmember Mufioz praised Bedford Properties stating they have done what is
necessary to aid in traffic solutions. He stated the Target Center owners are attempting
to get the City to pay for signals which should be their responsibility. He said if fees had
been paid to the County and can be recovered, this would be acceptable.
Mayor Parks asked the City Manager to research other means to obtain funds without
giving up sales tax dollars, but stressed the point that this improvement is absolutely
necessary.
Councilmember Birdsall asked that a time limit be placed on implementing this project
since it is a critical area.
It was moved by Councilmember Mufioz, seconded by Councilmember Lindemans to
accept staff recommendations A and D, direct staff to further study recommendation B,
and to reject recommendation C.

21. Calle Medusa Traffic Study
City Manager Aleshire reported he held a meeting with the residents of Calle Medusa and
several improvements were recommended including: Three Stop intersections,
installations of crosswalks, warning signs, a 25 MPH speed zone and a school bus stop.
He said the developer of US Homes has agreed to install the signs and markings if desired
by City Council, and would further consider doing an expanded traffic study to address
alternate street patterns to reduce through traffic on Calle Medusa.
Mr. Aleshire recommended Council approve these measures to allow traffic improvements
to be made.
Jim Estock, 40420 Calle Medusa, stated he is in favor of these recommendations as they
represent a step in the right direction, but he is not fully satisfied with the results. He said
when the builder admits he was not truthful to homeowners, and when through traffic can
be redirected, the homeowners will be satisfied.
Sherman Haggetty, stated US Homes agrees there is a problem on Calle Medusa. He said
the street is used for something other than it was designed for, and this was not anticipated
by the builder. Mr. Haggetty said US Homes has agreed to take the lead in doing a traffic
study. He stated it would appear that when Nicholas and Butterfield Roads are complete
the vast majority of present traffic will not use Calle Medusa. He also stated US Homes
would be willing to install undulations, which would solve the problem of high speeds on
this residential road.
Councilmember Lindemans asked if speed undulations are an approved traffic control
devise. He recommended referring this problem to the Traffic Commission, but stated he
was in favor of making whatever changes are necessary to make the residents feel more
at ease. City Engineer, Tim Sefiet recommended trying the other traffic solutions first.
Councilmember Mufioz stated he felt undulations are a radical approach to this problem
and would also favor referring this study to the Traffic Commission.

the City would then collect the building fees.

Manager Aleshire stated the present fees are the same as the County fees, but a
recommendation to change the rate will be coming in a couple of weeks.
