8. Resolution Establishing the City's Appropriation Limit for Fiscal Year 1990-91
Councilmember Lindemans asked if the decision of LAFCO establishing the Gann Limit
should be appealed by the Council rather than staff trying to have it amended. He stated
Murrieta has a far greater spending limit based on a LAFCO determination one year later.
Mary Jane Henry stated she is in the process of appealing the $8 1/2 million spending limit,
set by LAFCO. She explained John McTighe is putting together a report that will
determine what the Gann Limit should be. She said the City Attorney has recommended
the City adopt a temporary Gann Limit which can be revised once the appeal process is
completed.
City Attorney Fields reported that the procedure will be as follows: Mr. McTighe is doing
a study to determine what the appropriate Gann Limit should be, when this study is
complete it will be brought to the City Council. The City Council will then conduct a
public hearing and consider that report. If adopted a validation action will be brought to
get a court approval of more appropriate limit. Once that process is complete, the City
will have a new Gann Limit.
Mary Jane Henry said a temporary Gann Limitation should be in compliance with the State
Code at this time.
Councilmember Lindemans asked that the word "temporary" be added to the Resolution.
City Manager Dixon explained the appeal of the Gann Limit is a two or three step process.
The City needs to raise the limits based on what the law will allow. The City has asked
the County not only to review the way the Gann limit was set, but also how the tax rate
was set. He reported a response has not been received. Mr. McTighe's report will be
Minutes 8/14/90

brought before Council and a public hearing will take place. After the public hearing a
court validation will be sought. He explained that tonight only step one is proposed.
Councilmember Lindemans moved, Council member Birdsall seconded a motion to adopt
Resolution No. 90-85 with the addition of the word "temporary" in the title and body of
the resolution. The resolution is entitled:
RESOLUTION NO. 90-85
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA
ESTABLISHING A TEMPORARY APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR FY
1990-91.

14. Cable Television Consulting Services
Council member Munoz asked if the $15,000 for consulting services is to be retrieved by
the City through the fee process. Secondly, should this have gone through a bidding
process before selecting TMC?
Joe Hreha, Manager of Information Services, stated the $15,000 is to appropriate funds
not included in the budget. The money is to be reimbursed from the Cable TV companies
who apply for an application, and enter into a negotiation agreement.
He replied two consultants recommended by the League of California Cities were
contacted for proposals. TMC worked with the company currently applying and staff felt
they were in the best position to evaluate the application and do the franchise agreement.
Council member Munoz asked if the fee collected added revenue to the City or if the fee
only covers the consulting fee. Mr. Hreha stated it covers the consultants fees, City
Attorney fees and processing fees. He explained that when negotiations are entered into,
a $4,200 non-refundable fee is collected.
Minutes 8/14/90
6
Mayor Parks asked how this fee compares with the County franchise fee. Mr. Hreha
explained the City fee is higher because the Cable TV Ordinance is much more complex
and requires a greater amount of time and work to administer.
Council member Lindemans asked if a second company is granted a franchise to operate,
would it be advantageous to move quickly so City streets are not opened again. Mr. Hreha
answered that a paragraph is included in the ordinance which states all development must
have capability to support two lines so streets will not need to be reopened.
It was moved by Councilmember Birdsall, seconded by Councilmember Munoz to adopt
a resolution entitled:
RESOLUTION NO. 90-88
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA
REGARDING APPLICATIONS FOR CABLE TELEVISION FRANCHISES
Adopt a resolution entitled:
RESOLUTION NO. 90-89
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA

15. First Extension of Time for Vesting Tentative Tract No. 23211
Gary Martin, 30601 Cabrillo Avenue, representing Marstan Homes, requested City
Council receive and file this tentative map since the County of Riverside's Planning
Commission has already heard this request. He stated he would like to correct a few
Minutes 8/14/90

errors in the staff report. The application of extension was first filed October 19, 1989.
He brought to the Council's attention that in January, 1990 a project was approved for 220
units next to this project that was not a vested map. He said this project is a vested map
and already in existence. He said grading and loss of natural ridgeline has been approved
by the Council for the adjacent project and a less dense project is currently being proposed
for the site.
Council member Birdsall moved, Councilmember Munoz seconded a motion to set this item
for public hearing on August 28, 1990.

17. Rabies Vaccination Clinic and Dog Licensing Program
Councilmember Munoz asked how the veterinarian for this program was selected.
Joe Hreha stated this is part of the County of Riverside's Animal Control Agreement. He
said the County is required to provide this service to the City of Temecula as part of the
agreement. Emmet Gibson, the Animal Control Officer headed up this program and he
contacted Doctor Daniel Pearson who volunteered to provide this service.
Mayor Parks asked that staff contact the other veterinarians in the City and give them an
opportunity to participate in this program. City Manager Dixon stated staff will be sure
that Mr. Gibson has called all the veterinarians in the City to give them all the same
opportunity to be involved.
Council member Munoz asked that other veterinarians expressing an interest be placed on
a list and rotated the next year.
It was moved by Council member Birdsall, seconded by Councilmember Munoz to approve
the City co-sponsoring the vaccination clinic and licensing program.

came to staffs attention after the agenda was prepared. It has to do with participating in the RTA
Joint Powers Agreement and requires a 4/5ths vote. RTA meets on August 23, 1990 and Council
will not meet again before that date which makes action necessary at this time.

PUBLIC HEARING
19. Tentative Tract 21067, Revised - Third Extension of Time
Gary Thornhill, Chief Planner, stated this is a request by Kingsway Construction for a
third extension of time to record the final map for Tract 21067. The project is a 104-lot
single family subdivision with 17.7 acres of open space, located along the northerly side
of Pala Road south of State Route 79. The applicant has requested an extension of time
is to allow for the review of flood control and drainage plan issues. The concern of staff
over the required bridge and street improvements, have prompted addition of a condition,
requiring the applicant to submit a focused traffic study to address the project's impact on
the existing alignment of Pal a Road and Route 79. In addition the report would also look
at a fair share contribution of the cost of making those street and bridge improvements.
He recommended Council grant the third extension of time for this project with the
addition of the condition found on page five of the staff report.
Minutes 8/14/90
9
Councilmember Lindemans stated that according to the staff report 82 % of the cost for
widening the bridge is available through federal funding. He said this 82 % needs to be
secured and the bridge widened prior to adding more traffic to the problem area.
Mayor Parks opened the public hearing at 7:50 PM.
Marilyn Carney, 3838 Camino Del Rio, Suite 390, San Diego, representing Kingsway
Construction Corporation, addressed the issue of Pala Road. She stated this project is part
of Assessment District 159 and this district does not include money for bridges. She stated
the developer will pay the fair share and requested that this be extended for the third time.
Mayor Parks asked if she is in agreement with staff recommended changes. She stated the
developer is in agreement.
Councilmember Munoz asked for pictures of what the development will look like. He
asked what the 17 acres of open space would look like.
Ms. Carney introduced George Musser, Project Engineer, 2698 Mataro St., Pasadena, to
answer further questions. Mr. Musser stated the open space is in the flood plain of
Temecula Creek. He said this will remain open with no improvements at this time so if
flood control improvements are needed, the land will be available. He also said this area
will serve as a wildlife preserve.
Council member Munoz asked if there is an area set aside for a neighborhood park? Mr.
Musser answered this project has already been revised substantially and lots reduced to
make land available for flood control.
Mayor Parks declared a one minute break at 8:00 PM to change the tape. The meeting
was resumed at 8:01 PM.
Councilmember Munoz stated he felt staff should take advantage of the Quimby Act and
set aside land for parks.
Mayor Parks asked if this map falls within the Quimby Act designation?
City Attorney Field stated this map came through the County prior to the adoption of the
Quimby Act and unless the Council conditions this project tonight, it would not be subject
to the current Quimby Ordinance.
Mayor Parks asked the applicant if they would object to paying Quimby Fees, according
to the current standard ordinance? Ms. Carney stated she would like to discuss the issue
with the owners before giving a final answer.
Minutes 8/14/90
10
Councilmember Lindemans asked if this could be moved off calendar for two weeks to add
Quimby Fees and to the conditions of approval and asked that staff provide clearer
information on whether the City has a working Quimby Act.
Mayor Parks stated this Council wants to provide parks and maps are not going to be
approved without the Quimby Act provisions being made a part of the conditions of
approval.
Ms. Carney stated she needed two weeks to discuss this matter and work out the details.
Councilmember Birdsall said Council needs to make it clear that anything that comes
before them must will be conditioned to include Quimby Act Provisions. This would
make it clear to all applicants so it would not be necessary to continually send things back.
City Manager Dixon stated that there are certain discretionary acts that the Council has.
One is extension of time. Because it is a discretionary act, the Council has the ability to
add conditions. If the applicant does not agree, a extension of time does not have to be
approved.
It was moved by Council member Birdsall, seconded by Council member Moore to continue
the public hearing for two weeks to allow staff to add the Quimby condition.

RECESS

CSD Meeting.
COUNCIL BUSINESS
20. Organizational Structure and Salary Range for .lob Classifications
City Manager Dixon reported this item has three issues that Council is asked to consider.
Minutes 8/14/90
11
1. Restructuring of the organization.
2. Job descriptions that have not been approved.
3. A proposed salary range for those new positions.
He explained that over the past 30 days he has given a great deal of thought to how best
to serve this community and structure the organization to be responsive. He explained
these changes are non-traditional, but structured so that all parts of the organization can
be coordinated collectively. Whether the director of the grouping is called Director of
Developmental Services or Assistant City Manager, is not important. The key factor is
the functions being accomplished.
He explained that the plan before Council tonight would split the organization in half; one
for administrative support and one operations as it deals with developmental services.
Number two, he explained there are a list of positions which the Council has not yet
adopted. He said four or five positions need specific attention tonight, so that on-going
recruitment may continue.
Mayor Parks stated he would like to see this issue continued to a workshop meeting so that
we can compare what is before the Council tonight to what has been previously approved.
City Manager Dixon stated four positions need to be approved tonight so that these
appointments can be made.
Councilmember Birdsall said she agreed with the idea of the workshop. She asked for an
overall picture of the entire structure for a basis of comparison.
Mayor Parks called a one minute break to change the tape at 9: 15 PM. The meeting was
reconvened at 9: 16 PM.
City Manager Dixon stated the intent was not to change positions approved by the Council,
it is more in terms of functions and the grouping of these functions, with the latitude of
adjusting positions within those functions. The intent is not to spend more but to spend
less.
Councilmember Birdsall asked which positions need to be approved tonight. City Manager
Dixon said Chief Accountant, Director of Building and Safety, Director of Community
Services and Senior Accountant are positions included in the 1990-91 budget but they have
not had an approved title and salary range.
Councilmember Munoz stated he felt salaries are too high, compared to other cities. He
said he did not feel the City needs to pay these kinds of salaries to get good people. He
said the City needs to be more in line with the private sector salary-wise. He suggested
Minutes 8/14/90
12
hiring people who as responsibilities increased, could grow into their jobs, and suggested
that the community of Temecula is a big draw for quality employees.
City Manager Dixon explained that the proposed changes in the budget would decrease
total appropriations not increase them. He stated that the City must be competitive to
recruit and retain quality people. He said the City needs qualified journeymen in Planning
and Building and Safety to get this City up and running in the manner which the citizens
and Council desires. He stated these are not positions where people should learn on the
job.
Councilmember Munoz stated that if a wide range of people are interviewed, qualified
people can be found without overspending on salaries. He requested using the median
range of salaries, subject to adjustment when the Council has it's study session.
Mr. Dixon reported that he would have to re-recruit the positions of Building and Safety
Official and Director of Community Services. He explained the City has gone through a
45-day recruitment and selected the top applicants. He said the City has interviewed nine
people and ranked the top three.
Council member Munoz said he felt these ranges need to be set lower and people should
progress up through ranges accordingly.
Councilmember Birdsall asked if hiring is based on a scale according to experience. She
said Council is not instructing Mr. Dixon to hire at the minimum of a job range, he is able
to hire within a range.
Council member Lindemans moved, Councilmember Birdsall seconded a motion to
authorize the City Manager to hire four positions (Chief Accountant, Director of Building
and Safety, Director of Community Services and Senior Accountant) at a salary as close
to the minimum recommended ranges as possible.

is August 23, 1990, therefore this action needs to take place tonight. He recommended
entering into the Joint Powers Agreement with RT A, appoint Councilmember Munoz and
appoint an alternate member to that board.

Dixon said this person needs to speak for the policy of the Council.
