Assistant City Manager O'Grady presented the staff report (as per written material), providing a brief overview of the requests and advising that representatives of each organization are in attendance. By way of overheads, Ms. Melody Brunsting, Temecula Town Association, provided a detailed overview of the Association's sponsorship request for two events - Temecula Rod Run and Frontier Days Rodeo, highlighting the benefits these events have on the City as well as the community by way charities. Mr. John Sterling, General Manager, further reviewed and provided clarification with regard to the proposed budget, commenting on the difficulties to budget Police and Fire costs and advised that with the exception of 20%, all owed Police and Fire costs from previous events have been repayed. 11 Mayor Pro Tem Elect Stone commented on the Association's increase in sponsorship request over last year ($40,000 from $10,000) to which Ms. Brunsting responded by addressing increased costs associated with Police services, noting that this cost is a variable and, therefore, difficult to control. It was suggested by Councilman Lindemans that the City be responsible for associated Police and Fire costs; that the City provide a sponsorship; and that if the organization were to attain a net profit, that it be returned to the City. Mayor Elect Ford suggested that the City approve a $10,000 sponsorship to the organization; that the City be responsible for the Police/Fire support services; and that the organization be required to repay the $10,000 sponsorship; but that the organization retain any net profit. Considering the associated costs with the sale of alcoholic beverages at this event, Mayor Roberts suggested the elimination of the sale of alcohol. Ms. Brunsting noted that although the suggestion could be reviewed for next year's event, she advised that certain sponsors were obtained with the understanding that there would be sale of alcohol. Councilman Comerchero suggested that the Association be responsible to pay $5,000 for associated Police/Fire costs and that any amount in excess of that be the responsibility of the City and, thereby, making the cost a fixed expense versus a variable. Mayor Pro Tem Elect Stone concurred that the Association should be responsible for a portion of the Police/Fire costs associated with this event and that the sponsorship request should be reviewed as a separate issue. Councilman Lindemans suggested a $15,000 sponsorship for this year; that Police/Fire costs be paid by the City; and that all net profits be retained by the Association with the understanding that 50% be set aside as seed money for the year 2000 event. Councilman Comerchero concurred with a $10,000 sponsorship fee in the form of a loan and that the Association be responsible for $10,000 of Police/Fire costs - costs in excess of that amount be the responsibility of the City. Additional Council discussion ensued with following motion being offered: MOTION: Councilman Lindemans moved to approve the agreement modified as follows: that the City be responsible for associated costs relative to Police/Fire/Public Works services necessary for the Temecula Rod Run event and that $10,000 be approved in the form of a loan which is to be repaid to the City prior to the Association disbursing any funds to any non-profit organizations. The motion was seconded by Mayor Elect Ford and voice vote reflected unanimous approval. Mr. John Sterling, General Manager, advised that Police costs associated with the Frontier Days Rodeo are nominal. MOTION: Councilman Lindemans moved to approve the Frontier Days Rodeo Agreement with a sponsorship of $10,000 and that the City be responsible for any 12 Police/Fire/Public Works costs in the event they were to arise. The motion was seconded by Mayor Elect Ford and voice vote reflected unanimous approval. At 9:58 P.M., a recess was taken and the meeting reconvened at '10:09 P.M.

Mr. Marty Cooper, Public Relations and Marketing Firm representing the Association, further commented and addressed issues such marketing positioning and tourism/economic development. Mr. Brown addressed and clarified the newly proposed balanced budget, requesting a $35,000 cash sponsorship; that no costs be considered for Police/Fire services; and advised that the Association does not make charitable contributions with its net profit. MOTION: Councilman Lindemans moved to approve the agreement with a sponsorship of $35,000; it was requested that $5,000 be deducted from the sponsorship to pay for previously owed Police/Fire/Public Works services and, thereby, issuing a check in the amount of $30,000. The motion was seconded by Councilman Comerchero and voice vote reflected unanimous approval. 23 Redhawk/Vail Ranch Annexation RECOMMENDATION: 23.1 Oral report from staff on status of annexation proposal. Mayor Elect Ford noted that he would be abstaining with regard to this issue. Community Development Director Thornhill presented the oral report, noting the following: · That Thursday, December 10, 1998, LAFCO approved the City's application for the annexation of Redhawk/Vail Ranch areas; · That the City Council will hold a Protest Hearing within 60 days of the LAFCO hearing; · That the likely election date will be November 1999 with an effective date of July 2000; · That staff will be recommending to the City Council to direct staff to hold a separate election vote for Redhawk and for Vail Ranch; · That future annexation workshops will be scheduled. 13 In response to Councilman Stone, Community Services Director Parker provided clarification as to the City's fee methodology, advising that the City does no assess vacant land for slope maintenance services with exception of park and recreation services.

ITEMS ADDED TO THE AGENDA BASED ON SUBSEQUENT NEED City Attorney Thorson provided background information and clarification for the placement of the proposed subsequent need items, noting that the work had progressed faster than had been anticipated and, therefore, the proposed changes must be approved and implemented within the week. Because these items arose after the agenda was posted and action is required prior to the next meeting, Mr. Thorson noted that the City Council may make a motion for subsequent need. MOTION: Councilman Lindemans moved that the below-mentioned subsequent need items be discussed as per Mr. Thorson's comments.
