later date to insure consistency and fairness.
Mayor Parks voiced a concern that this may be too cumbersome and difficult for citizens
to hold events. Assistant City Manager Ochenduszko stated the intent of the ordinance
is to protect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens in the community and not to
over-regulate. He stated every effort will be made if there are problems to be helpful
and flexible.

COUNCIL BUSINESS
1 5. Undergrounding of Utility Lines and Interim Widening of Ynez Road
Tim Serlet, Director of Public Works, introduced the staff report.
Councilmember Lindemans asked if the Overland Overpass is no longer viable. City
Manager Dixon answered the official position of Caltrans is that they have concerns,
however they are willing to work with the City.
Councilmember Lindemans stated he has concerns about the cost recommended for this
project and asked if it would be prudent at this time to widen Ynez by only two lanes.
City Manager Dixon stated staff would prefer to develop the entire project at one time.
Mayor Parks called a brief recess at 9:20 AM to change the tape. The meeting was
reconvened at 9:21 PM.
Councilmember Mu~oz stated he is anxious for undergrounding of utilities to take place
in the interest of aesthetics. Mayor Parks stated the undergrounding of utility lines
would cause a one year delay of the road project, which is an important need at the
present time.
Councilmember Lindemans stated the undergrounding would not be a part of the Mello
Roos district and would have to come out of the general fund, which is too great a
burden for the City. Mayor Parks suggested that in the next bond issue, the City look
at undergrounding lines instead of delaying the Ynez Corridor project.
It was moved by Councilmember Moore, seconded by Councilmember Linderoans that
the Ynez Corridor project be approved without underground the utility lines as part of
this project.
The motion was carried by the following vote:

Councilmember Birdsall asked when the six lane widening of Ynez will begin. City
Engineer Tim Serlet said the project would commence Spring of 1992. He stated,
however, that the Rancho California Water District has submitted plans to install a 48"
water line in Ynez Road con-current with the widening project, which might further
delay the project.
Hearing no objections from Council, Mayor Parks reordered the agenda to accommodate
those desiring to speak on Item No. 17.
17. Consideration of Funding for Temecula Valley Balloon and Wine Festival
Dennis Frank, 37820 Spring Valley Road, President of the Temecula Valley Balloon and
Wine Festival Association, requested a grant of $50,000 as seed and sponsorship
money, to promote the 1992 Balloon and Wine Festival.
Nancy Maurice, 29405 Via Norte, Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce Board
Liaison, distributed a fact sheet showing the benefits the community derived during the
1990 Balloon and Wine Festival. She encouraged the City Council to participate in
making this event possible.
Leigh Engdahl, 41859 Corte Selva, Board Member, stated the Balloon and Wine Festival
is of great benefit to the community in generating interest for business and future
residents. She asked the Council to support this request.
Councilmember Birdsall expressed a concern regarding the status of the newly formed
corporation, stating all documentation must be completed before funds could be given.
She also questioned the copyright charge by the Chamber of Commerce to use the
Balloon and Wine logo.
Councilmember Mu~oz stated he would be more in favor of a loan for 850,000, rather
than a grant. Councilmember Lindemans suggested matching funds of up to 850,000,
enabling the festival to receive more revenue.
Mayor Parks stated this event is very important to the City of Temecula and would be
in favor of providing seed money to help this corporation get started.
Councilmember Lindemans asked how much the fee for use of the Balloon and Wine
Festival name and trademark would be.

Leigh Engdahl, 41859 Corte Selva, stated this fee for use of the trademark is $20,000.

It was moved by Councilmember Mu~oz, seconded by Councilmember Lindemarts to
provide $50,000 in the form of a loan, as seed money for the Temecula Valley Balloon
and Wine Festival Association with the intent that this loan is paid back if the festival
is successful.
Councilmember Lindemans withdrew the second.
Mayor Parks suggested providing $25,000 as a loan and $25,000 in matching funds.
It was moved by Councilmember Birdsall, seconded by Councilmember Linderoans to
extend the meeting until 10:30 PM. The motion was unanimously carried.
It was moved by Mayor Parks, seconded by Councilmember Lindemans to allocate
$25,000 in the form of a loan to the Temecula Valley Balloon and Wine Festival
Association and an additional $25,000 to be allocated in the form of matching funds as
seed money, with the requirement this will be funded at such time as all the legal
