Mayor Roberts thanked the Temecula/Murrieta Group for taking the time to reconsider its decision as to whether or not to support the City's decision to relocate the Temecula/Murrieta Library.

Appropriate $47,123 from General Fund reserves to Community Services Funding Program Line Item. As a Board of Director of Alternatives to Domestic Violence, Mayor Roberts advised that he would be abstaining with regard to Agenda Item No. 1 1. Mayor Pro Tem Ford presided. Referencing the CDBG funding recommendations, Senior Management Analyst Flores presented Minutes\012798 ]0 City Council Min~i~ 012798 the staff report (as per agenda material), advising that CDBG regulations uphold a 15% funding cap on the total allocations, thereby, limiting available funding for Public Services to $42,945. Having served on the Finance Committee and having met with staff and Councilman Stone, Councilman Lindemans relayed to the Council and the audience members his difficulty in making such needed funding decisions with the exception of the $38,000 request from Westview Vocational Services (to purchase a vehicle). Commenting on the City's Dial- A-Ride program as well as the availability of the RTA system, he relayed his objection to funding $38,000 for the purchase of a vehicle to transport individuals. Advising that the continual growth of the City will as well require the increased financial support of these services, therefore, Councilman Lindemans requested that the City Council consider allocating an additional $53,000 from the General Fund Reserve to ensure that all services listed under Option A (Attachment B) may be funded including the Trauma Intervention Program ($6,000). Viewing each service as a much needed service and considering the City's financial ability to fund these services, Councilman Comerchero relayed his concurrence with Councilman Lindemans' suggestion to allocate additional funding from the General Fund to ensure that all services listed under Option A may be funded. Advising that the Economic Development Agency of Riverside County had considered the Trauma Intervention Program as an ineligible project to be funded under CDBG because of its inability of determine income documentation, Senior Management Analyst Flores noted that this program may be funded through the General Fund. Because he was not feeling well and, therefore, had to depart the Council meeting early, City Manager Bradley informed the City Council that Councilman Stone, as a member of the Finance Committee, requested that his comments/opinions with regard to this issue be considered, noting the following: that he is supportive of the various community groups; that he would support the CDBG funding of $42,945; that in light of the City's annual $100,000 support to non-profit groups, in addition to the CDBG funding, he would oppose full funding of all requests; that the City Council should not allocate funds from the General Fund Reserve unless it is an emergency; that the City is only one organization of many that support these services; that the City must live within its established budget; that by approving all requests in full, the City would setting a dangerous precedent. At this time, the public hearing was opened. Ms. Betsy Baird, 27872 Doreen Drive, Sun City, representing V.I.P. Tots, advised that the requested $3,768 would assist the funding of an infant/toddler program which would provide home schooling to these children who have special needs. Ms. Baird noted that, as a special Minutes~012798 ! ! City Council Minutes 012798 education/early intervention teacher, she has observed that as this City continues to grow so does the need for such a program. As a parent utilizing the services of V.I.P. Tots, Mrs. Shannon Poole, 43515 Corte Logrono, shared her family's personal experience with V.I.P. Tots, advising that her 15-month old daughter has greatly benefitted from this program. Mrs. Poole noted that the program has as well aided her during some difficult times. Thanking the City Council for its consideration of the grant request, Ms. Janet Yorke, 30087 Corte San Luis, representing Habitat for Humanity, advised that if approved, the monies would be utilized in order to purchase property in the City of Temecula for the use of building affordable housing. If approved, Ms. Yorke advised that this would be the organization's first project in the City of Temecula. Ms. Mary Salvador, 1465 Spruce Street, #G, Riverside, Executive Director for Riverside area Rape Crisis Center, advised that as a City continues to grow such as the City of Temecula, the need for such services will grow as well. Ms. Salvador briefly reviewed the services provided by this organization; advised that the program is provided to the public at no cost; and requested the Council's approval. Ms. Eliza Woolfolk, P.O. Box 910, representing Alternatives to Domestic Violence, relayed her encouragement with the City's support of all the various services rendered by the different agencies; provided an overview of the type of service rendered by Alternatives to Domestic Violence; and advised that the requested funds would aid in expanding the much needed services for children. On behalf of the Assistance League of Temecula Valley, Ms. MaryAnn Edwards, 42913 Calle Londe, thanked the City Council for its continued support and briefly highlighted the success of the uOperation School Bell" program. Thanking the City Council for its continued support, Ms. Jeannie Miley, representing the Boys and Girls Club of Temecula, apprised the Councilmembers of the tremendous growth of this program, noting that scholarship funding requests increase on a yearly basis; that the Club services 1,500 families; and that currently there is a waiting list of over 120 children. Although he is not representing the Trauma Intervention Program, Mr. Wayne Hall, as an American Red Cross representative, 42131 Agena Street, commended this program on the tremendous amount of assistance it provides during a time of need; noted that the requested funds would provide additional training; and encouraged the City Council to approve the request. There being no additional comments, Mayor Roberts closed the public hearing. With regard to comments made by Ms. Salvador of the Rape Crisis Center, City Manager Bradley noted that rape is a most serious crime and one of the most underreported crimes in the United States. Advising that rape statistics for the City are tracked by staff, Mr. Bradley Minutes\012798 City Council Minutes 012798 stated that the City of Temecula had 12 reported rapes last year. Although understanding and respecting Councilman Stone's concern of allocating additional funds from the City's General Fund Reserve, Councilman Lindemans commented on the City's growth and, therefore, its increased need for services such as reflected by the Boys and Girls Club which has a waiting list of 120 children. In light of this situation, Councilman Lindemans proposed to allocate an additional $75,000 from the General Fund Reserve instead of his original proposal to allocate $53,000 in order to accommodate the much needed services of the Boys and Girls Club. Clarifying the additionally needed monies to accommodate the Boys and Girls Club, Mayor Pro Tem Ford noted that Councilman Lindemans' suggestion would include funding an additional $17,400 to the Club by way of General Fund Reserve (total funding request $32,400) with a total General Fund Reserve allocation of $70,523 in order to meet the Public Services funding requests in excess of available CDBG funding of $286,304. Although the City must remain conscious of its spending, Mayor Pro Tem Ford elaborated on the City Council's continued support of the various services provided and relayed his support of the $70,523 General Fund Reserve allocation. MOTION: Councilman Lindemans moved to approve CDBG funding in the amount of $286,304 ($42,945 for Public Services Projects and $243,359 for Non-Public Services Projects) and General Fund allocation in the amount of $70,523 to meet Public Services funding requests in excess of available CDBG funds.
