Award of Bid - Traffic Signal Target Center Councilmember Birdsall stated she removed this item from the Consent Calendar to discuss which option the Council desired for construction of the Signal; the 30 or 90 day option. Tim Serlet, Director of Public Works, stated staff feels it is in the best interest of the citizens of the community to choose option No. 1, which would require the signal be completed within thirty (30) days, thus being installed before Christmas. Councilmember Moore asked if staff has received the agreement with Landgrant Development. Mr. Serlet stated that he spoke with Mr. Morasco recently and the easement grant and agreement should be signed and completed within two weeks. Councilmember Mu~oz said he feels it is optimistic to expect the necessary paperwork in two weeks, and suggested the Council go with the low bid for option No. 2 (90 days), since delays in paperwork would probably delay this project for at least 90 days. Councilmember Moore asked if the City could proceed without securing an easement and signed agreement. Mr. Serlet stated that this could be done, however the City might have to pay the entire cost of the signal and the property in question would need to be condemned. City Attorney Field stated that in order to condemn property, a public hearing and court action would be necessary and would take approximately 30 to 45 days. Councilmember Lindemans asked that the Council approve staff recommendation for the 30 days option. Councilmember Mu~oz stated he would go along with Council's desires for the 30 day option, however he would like to make citizens aware that it may take 90 days, regardless of which option is chosen if property easements and agreements cannot be rapidly finalized. It was moved by Councilmember Lindemans, seconded by Councilmember Mur~oz to approve award of bid for construction of a traffic signal at the Towne Center driveway on Rancho California Road to Steiny & Company for the sum of $80,297.00.

Funding for Temecula Annual Rodeo Councilmember Birdsall stated she placed this item on the agenda to ask that the Council consider supporting the Temecula Town Association in sponsorship/matching funding and a loan for the Temecula Annual Rodeo. She explained since the fire at the Community Center, the Town Association is struggling to maintain their annual events. Mary Aliensworth, 40270 Green Meadow Road, Chairman of the Pro Rodeo Committee, stated the Rodeo has traditionally brought substantial business to the community and is excellent advertising for the City of Temecula. She asked that the Council sponsor the Rodeo with up to $15,000 in matching funds, and a loan for $15,000 to be paid back within 5 days of the rodeo. Councilmember Lindemans stated he would be in favor of this proposal if the $15,000 would go toward advertising the City. Councilmember Mu~oz stated he feels uncomfortable since no financial statement has been provided to the Council and also said he feels more comfortable with a loan.

Solid Waste - Grandfather Hauler Regulations Joe Hreha, Senior Management Analyst, introduced the staff report. Dean Ruffridge, General Manager of Waste Management of Inland Valley, 26500 Scaramelia Cr., Hemet, stated he is in opposition to the proposed resolution because Waste Management interprets the PRC to allow full rights for the next five years, which are not limited to current accounts. Councilmember Mu~oz asked why Waste Management of Inland Valley discontinued service to residential customers one month prior to the start of the new franchise. Mr. Ruffridge stated this was a business decision, due to a need for the equipment in another area. Mike Silva, Vice President of Temecula Environmental, stated he concurs with staff recommendations. He further stated that his firm's franchise agreement rates were based on exclusitivity for the franchisee.
