of the remaining buildings, which once constituted the Vail Ranch Headquarters. Apprising the
Councilmembers of his interest in preserving this historical heritage, Mr. Harker informed the
Councilmembers that the County Board of Supervisors ratified an agreement with the developer
to refurbish the buildings. Although the area of discussion is not within City limits, Mr. Harker

but economically viable to the City. Therefore, he encouraged the Councilmembers to proceed
with the necessary action to ensure that this ratified agreement would be carried out.

would be relinquishing her time to Mr. Dave Wilson.

as Vail Ranch are an advantageous tourist attraction.

is in the process of completing a City-wide Cultural Plan, noting that one element of this Plan

PRESENTATIONS/PROCLAMATIONS

of those members of the Foundation, who had donated a tremendous amount of time, would

CITY COUNCIL REPORTS
A. Having had time to reflect on the January 13, 1998, City Council meeting, Councilman
Comerchero reiterated his belief that increased communication between the City Council/staff
and the residents is important and noted that it is as important for the involved residents to
communicate with the City Council/staff. He as well emphasized on the need to work together
in an effort to accomplish desired issues.
B. Referencing a report from the Zone 7 Flood Control Commissioner addressed to the
Flood Control District, Councilman Ford advised that the report addressed the status of
Murrieta Creek and its jurisdictional improvements. Mr. Ford noted that a study has been
completed by the Army Corps of Engineers; that after the completion of Project Study Plan,
anticipated date by March/April 1998, the feasibility study may begin as well as a cost-sharing
agreement for the Murrieta Creek area. Councilman Ford noted that the Murrieta/Temecula
Joint Committee of Murrieta Creek will be preparing a consolidated package, which will reflect
a concerted voice addressing the two to three funding mechanisms.
C. Councilman Stone relayed his delight with the commencement of the Rancho California
Bridge widening project (estimated completion within 12 to 14 months). Echoing Councilman
Comerchero's comments with regard to the January 13, 1998, City Council meeting, Mr. Stone
noted that even during times of disagreement, the City Council has always treated the public
with respect and stated that the public must, as well, display the same level of respect in order
to accomplish issues in an expeditious manner.
D. Publicly apologizing to City Engineer Kicak for his strong comments made at the January
13, 1998, City Council meeting with regard to traffic issues, Councilman Stone noted that
these comments reflected his frustration with the City not being able to complete public
improvement projects as quickly as he would like them to be completed. Realizing the number
of projects that City Engineer Kicak and his staff are handling and realizing that City Engineer
Kicak and his staff are doing everything possible to ensure that these projects are completed
as expeditiously as possible, Councilman Stone reiterated his traffic concerns with regard to the
south side of the City. For a future City Council meeting, Councilman Stone requested that
staff review and inform the Council as to the number of projects under consideration for the
south side of the City; determine the anticipated completion date for Pala Bridge; and project
Minutes\012798 3
_ City Council Minutes 01/27/98
the traffic impact these project may have above and beyond the existing traffic conditions. In
order to address the traffic situation on the south side of the City, Councilman Stone suggested
that once this information has been obtained from staff, the City Council may want to consider
the phasing in of developments to ensure that the residents of the subject area are able to enter
and exit the neighborhoods on the south side of the City.
E. Councilman Undemans thanked the Police and Fire Departments for their assistance with
redesigning the bus route, noting that this information will be forwarded to RTA; requested that
the Public Works Department inform the City Council, at the February 10, 1998, meeting, as
to how many potholes were reported by the Police Department; reiterated his desire to update
the City's Disaster Preparedness Plan by color coding the various communities throughout the
City; and requested that this matter be agendized for a future meeting.
F. Updating the City Council with regard to the Riverside County Transportation
Commission's (RCTC) decision to allocate $100 million of the gas tax funds to the desert versus
to the Western Riverside County, Mayor Roberts noted that the RCTC formed a 60-day Funding
Committee which will review this decision and possibly formulate a recommendation that would
be more equitable to Temecula, Murrieta, etc.
G. 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. In light of the additional facts presented to the group, Mayor
Roberts advised that the group has issued a letter supporting the City's goal and relayed its
desire to be on the City's task force with regard to the Library.

Review of the 24th Year Community Develooment Block Grant (CDBG) A0_~lication
Prooosals for FY 1998/1999
11.1
Review the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding proposals,
approve the reduction of projects equally on a percentage basis in the event of
future funding reductions and consider the two funding recommendations
presented by the Finance Committee:
Option A:
Approve CDBG funding in the amount of $286,304 for projects
identified in Attachment B, and, or;
Option B:
Approve CDBG funding in the amount of $286,304 and General
Fund funding in the amount of $47,123 to meet public Service
funding requests in excess of available CDBG funds identified in
Attachment B.
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. The motion was seconded by Councilman Comerchero and
voice vote of those present reflected unanimous approval with the exception of Mayor Roberts
who ~_sJ~JJ~_~ and Councilman Stone who was absent.
At this time, Mayor Roberts returned to the dais.
