10. Booking Fees
Mayor Pro Tem Stone asked, that since booking fees could result in $100,000 a year,
if there is some method to recoup some of these fees. City Attorney Field stated as a
general rule, fee recovery in criminal actions is limited to State statutorily granted
authorization. He explained that since a booking is merely an arrest and not a
conviction, it is difficult to recover these fees.
Councilmember Mu~oz asked why the City has agreed to these fees, since a prior staff
position was the City had a defensible case.
City Manager Dixon explained that the County was authorized by the State Legislature
to collect booking fees retro-active to 1990. Many cities decided not to pay the fees
and joined litigation to over-turn this action. He reported that unfortunately, the cities
have not prevailed in court and explained that the County informed the City last June
they would cease operations in one year if these booking fees were not paid. In the last
30 days a settlement has been worked out, wherein contract cities will pay fees only
from September of 1993 through the course of upcoming years. Mr. Dixon reported the
City of Temecula has been included in the settlement, only because the County would
like to have all these actions resolved, and therefore will rescind their letter stating they
will not continue services beyond June of 1994.
It was moved by Mayor Pro Tern Stone, seconded by Councilmember Parks to approve
staff recommendation with the understanding that the City Attorney will look into
possible methods to recover all or part of these fees.

Performing Arts/Community Theater
Assistant City Manager Edvalson presented the staff report.
Mayor Roberts said he placed this item on the agenda due to a request from the school
district, although he understands the deadline for a decision whether the City would
participate in building of a High School Amphitheater for $1,000,000 is in two days.
Mayor Roberts said the Zev Buffman proposal for a 900 seat Opera House would share
usage with the City and could meet the needs more economically.
Dr. Jeffrey Horton, 24892 Ravensview Court, stated the community has developed a
sizable cultural component and a 300 to 400 seat theater is needed to provide a facility
for performances. He stated a 900 seat facility could be too large for many uses,
creating a "cold" atmosphere. He asked that the Council support the proposal by the
Temecula Valley School District for funding.
Jim Meyler, 29930 Santiago Road, spoke in support of the proposal and stated that
several different kinds of facilities are needed in the community.
Councilmember Mu~oz spoke in favor of the proposal.
Councilmember Birdsall expressed her concern based on opening of the new Community
Recreation Center.
Director of Community Services Shawn Nelson stated that an extensive amount of
money has gone into the sound and lighting system for the CRC. He also stated a
custom curtain will be installed.
Mayor Pro Tem Stone stated the City has an investment in the CRC and would be in
favor of exploring all possibilities for theaters, such as the Tower Plaza proposal which
could open within 12 months and the City would have control over scheduling.
Councilmember Parks spoke in favor of the proposal, based on the need for these
facilities and stated it would be money well spent.
Mayor Roberts stated he could not support $1,000,000.00 at this time for an additional
100 seats. He said he would like to have more information about the Zev Buffman
proposal, or other options where the City would have control.
City Manager Dixon stated concerns regarding the proposal due to the cost of the
additional 100 seats. He explained based on square footage, $1,000,000.00 seemed
an unreasonably high price. With regard to Mr. Buffman, Mr. Dixon reported that his
theater would be made available to the City at the cost of $1.00.
