RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council receive and file the Statement of
Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance for the Six Months Ended
December 31, 1990.
DISCUSSION: The attached statements reflect the activity of the City for
the six months ended December 31, 1990. In reviewing the following statements,
please note that 50% of the current fiscal year has lapsed as of December 31, 1990.
Fifty percent of general fund revenues were collected as of December 31, 1990. A
slump in housing sales resulted in a decline in property transfer tax collections.
To date, we have collected 52% of estimated sales tax.
General fund expenditures totalled 36% of appropriations due to projected capital
outlay expenditures to be incurred towards this fiscal year end.
In Building and Safety, 56% of appropriations have been expended to date due to
services rendered by Willdan Associates based on hourly rates in addition to 75% of
building plan check fees. Similarly, the 59% expended budget in Engineering is also
due to Willdan Associates services based on hourly rates in addition to 75% of
engineering plan check fees. These appropriations are based on 75% of estimated
plan check fees for both the Building and Safety and Engineering Departments.
Additionally, a monthly increase in Traffic Engineering expenditures within the
Engineering Department resulted from the monthly accrual of traffic engineering into
a separate line item. Previously, this expenditure was included in consulting.
Gas Tax revenues to date were transferred to the General Fund to be used for road
and traffic improvements. As of June 30, 1991, any unexpended gas tax revenues
will be transferred back to the Gas Tax Fund and will be reserved for future road
improvements.
In the Temecula Community Service District, 29% of estimated assessments were
collected in December, 1990. However, a total of $668, 595 were collected in
January, 1991 thereby significantly increasing this percentage in January, 1991.

Ynez Road at Target Center - Northerly Driveway
BACKGROUND:
In response to several requests, the Engineering Department has
conducted a traffic investigation for Ynez Road at the Target
Center northerly driveway.
It was determined that delineators were needed at the northbound
transitions, north of the driveway. These delineators were
installed on January 4, 1991.
It was also observed that many vehicles traveling southbound on
Ynez Road attempt to turn left into the northerly driveway. These
left turning vehicles are often delayed for excessive periods of
time which causes all southbound traffic to be impeded. This
causes southbound traffic to back up for a length of one quarter
mile at times. There have been several accidents informally
reported to the Engineering Department, however, accident
statistics for 1990 have not yet been received from the Statewide
Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS).
The primary driveway on Ynez Road for Target Center is located
approximately 500 feet to the south of the northerly driveway. A
left turn lane is provided at the primary driveway and a traffic
signal is proposed for that location.
In order to alleviate congestion on this vital arterial, it is
proposed that left turns be prohibited in to and out of this
driveway. This proposal is a temporary measure which could be
rescinded when the roadway widening required for installation of a
left turn lane is installed. A sketch of the proposed improvements
is attached.

experiences andobservations regarding this location. Representatlves of the Target
Center (Towne Center) artended the Traffic Commission meeting and expressed
concern regarding the prohibition of left turns at the northerly driveway.
The Traffic and Transportation Commission unanimously passed a motion that the
City Council approve the prohibition of left turns at Ynez Road and the Target
Center ( Towne Center) northerly driveway.
Upon approval of the temporary prohibition by the City Council, the Engineering
Department will cause the striping on the street to be changed to prohibit these
turns.

Quarterly Update of Engineering Department Activities
PREPARED BY:
Douglas M. Stewart, Deputy City Engineer
DISCUSSION:
This staff report is the second quarterly update to the City Council of Engineering
Department case review and plan check activities. The first quarterly report was
presented to the City Council on September u,, 1990.
Table A l attached ) shows a comparison between the plan check status on August 29,
1990, { the first status report ) and the current, December 5, 1990, reporting period.
The following observations are offered:
The total items in the engineering plan check process has more than
doubled from 151 to 31M~ since September 1. This is due to an increase
in the County transferred projects being turned in to the City as well
as new workload being delivered to the City directly.
Even with the increase in workload, the ratio of plan checks in process
to these completed and returned to the engineers has decreased from
60/u,0 to 3u,/66.
Plan check turn-around time goals are now being met 7596 to 80% of the
time even though we have "expedited" plan checks for 45 items. These
goals are 3 weeks for the first plan check and 2 weeks for subsequent
checks.
We have found that the Countyis plan check efforts have been
inconsistent at best and we have only rarely been able to approve
County transfer plans or maps without thorough in-house review.

Quarter Departmental Review
DISCUSSION
The Department of Building and Safety has been in full operation since January 1,
1990. The Department currently consists of three (3) divisions: building permit
issuance, building inspection, and code enforcement.
Since July 1, 1990, the building permit issuance division has been responsible for the
processing and issuance of over 830 building permits, representing approximately
$31.5 million in building construction valuation. The building inspection division is
performing inspections on all projects permitted by the City and/or acquired from the
County of Riverside. We have requested the assumption of responsibility for all
County approved or permitted projects that, regardless of reason, have not
commenced to date. We will be receiving documents for these projects in the near
future. All building permit and inspection staff is contracted with Willdan and
Associates. Interviews and testing was recently completed as part of the recruitment
process for hiring City building department staff. Transition of contract staff to City
staff should begin by February 1, 1991.
Major projects being worked on by staff, are the implementation of an ordinance for
the mitigation of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings and a citywide survey aimed
at identifying existing URM buildings, and locating and identifying buildings with
densely populated occupancies such as apartments and condominiums, and those
classified as hazardous occupancies. This information will be used in the event of a
disaster or major emergency to assist in damage assessment and rescue operations.

Duties and Role of Boards, Commissions and Committees
PREPARED BY:
City Clerk June S. Greek
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the rules, regulations, guidelines and policies
contained in the "Handbook for Boards, Committees and Commissions".
BACKGROUND: The attached draft handbook has been prepared to address
the need for definition of the duties and the role citizens play when appointed to an
advisory position. If the Council concurs, it would be appropriate to adopt this
handbook to be used by the City's Boards, Commissions and Committees and direct
the staff to prepare it in final form.
JSG
THE COMMISSIONER'S ROLE AND AUTHORITY
City Committees, Commissions and Boards have a primary role - to encourage increased public
input and citizen participation in the determination of City policies and procedures.
City Committees/Commissions/Boards are not involved in the administration or operation of
City departments. Committee/Commission/Board members may not direct administrative staff
to initiate programs, conduct major studies, or establish official policy without the approval
of the City Council. However, City staff members are available to provide general staff
assistance to Committees/Commissions/Boards.
Despite Committees, Commissions, and Boards differing tasks, all share some basic
responsibilities. Members need to stay informed on subjects of interest to their specific
Committee/Commission/Board. Conscientiousattendanceisalsoafundamentalresponsibility,
as irregular attendance lessens one's ability to study all aspects of items under consideration.
2
The most important duty of the Chairperson lies in his/her ability to find a common
ground and achieve workable compromises if appropriate.
Last, but far from least, the Chairperson must be able to represent the entire group to
the City Council and community groups.
Minutes
It shall be the responsibility of the board/committee/commission staff support
to record and maintain minutes for all meetings. The Council has provided that
these minutes shall be "action minutes" and not "verbatim" which briefly
describe the issues and actions taken. Minority opinions of members may also
be recorded in the minutes if desired. Comments by all members on every
agenda item cannot practicably be included in the minutes. Also, members
abstaining for legal conflict of interest requirements are required to state their
reason for recordation in the minutes. Minutes must be submitted to the City
Clerk's Office and the City Council; they also become a part of the City's
official records in the office of the City Clerk.
Develooment and Review of Commission Goals and Department Policies
The City of Temecula prepares and operates on an annual budget cycle. Boards,
committees and commissions 8re encouraged to annually review and comment on
department programs and capital projects that may be related to their scope of
interest. This evaluation is intended to focus attention on the overall program and
service priorities and commission objectives; and is not intended to be an evaluation
of the administration or operation of City Departments.
The City Council will conduct at least one joint meeting with each commission annually
to review commission goals and work programs, and review the past year's activities.
The City Council also reviews the commission's work program to ensure it's consistent
and responsive to the Council's goals and objectives.
Involvement in Administrative Matters
Commissions should not become involved in the administrative or operational matters
of City departments unless specifically provided in the prescribed powers and duties.
Members may not direct staff to initiate major programs, conduct large studies or
establish department policy without approval of the City Council. City staff assigned
to furnish staff services shall be available to provide general staff assistance, such as
preparation of agenda materials, general review of department programs and activities,
to perform limited studies, program reviews and other services of a general staff
nature. Commissions may not establish department work programs or determine
department program priorities unless specifically authorized in their prescribed powers
and duties. The responsibility for setting policy and allocating City resources rests
properly with the City's duly elected representatives, the City Council, and cannot be
delegated to an outside group, however capable and interested it might be.
5
ROLE, AUTHORITY AND STAFFING OF COMMISSIONS
The City Council is empowered to establish commissions and to appoint members to
assist the Council in the conduct of City business. Members usually represent a cross-
section of the community and are ~rohibited from being a salaried employee of the
City.
The primary role of any City Commission is to review and make recommendations to
the City Council on matters within their scope of responsibility and to promote
increased public input and citizen participation in the determination of City policies and
program implementation.
The specific role of City Commissions is basically to serve as a citizens' advisory arm
of the City Council, focusing attention on specific program areas of the City. The City
Council may authorize certain "commissions" to take final actions in prescribed areas,
for example the Planning Commission is authorized to grant final approval of certain
projects and is required to provide a recommendation to the City Council on other
projects. In addition, staff may bring various projects to a commission for their review
before taking that matter to the City Council for final approval. On specific matters
referred to it by the City Council; boards, committees and commissions serve a
principal reviewing body of the City. All decisions. however, are subject to call up and
review bv the City Council.
Commissioners should represent the general interest of the City as a whole and not
specific program areas and their special interest groups.
Rules of Procedure/By-Laws
Rules of procedure or by-laws for the proper conduct of business should be adopted.
OrclanizatiOn and Officers
As set forth in the by-laws, there shall be an annual election of a chairperson and vice-
chairperson. The position of chairperson and vice-chairperson should be rotated among
members on an annual basis.
The Chairperson
The Chairperson is the key to the entire group process. The Chairperson must balance
being strong enough to make certain the meeting is conducted in an orderly fashion
and democratic enough to use the power and authority of the position wisely. The
Chairperson's ability to handle meetings will have a significant impact on morale,
operation and effectiveness.
The Chairperson must make sure that discussions do not get side-tracked on minor
issues and must have the ability to see the "whole picture".
Procedure for Handling Public or APpeal HearinQs
In some instances, commissions will have to conduct a public hearing, either on a
major issue of concern to the community or on a permit application or appeal of a staff
decision. It is recommended that the procedure established the City Attorney be
followed at all times during the conduct of this kind of hearing.
Leaal Assistance
Some commissions require the presence of a City Attorney. When there is doubt
concerning the legality of an issue, the Attorney should advise members as to the
legality of the proposed action.
Great care must be taken in the maintenance of records of the proceedings when
litigation is a possibility. The direction of the City Attorney should be followed closely.
Remember the adage, "Discretion is the better part of valor", and when in doubt about
the legality of a procedure, wait until the legal opinion is rendered. If necessary, a
hearing may have to be continued until matters can be clarified. Counsel must very
often control the circumstances surrounding a particular matter since he/she may be
required to defend the action in court.
Council Review of Action
Most actions and recommendations of commissions may be appealed to the City
Council for review and approval. Certain actions are final with the Commission with
no right of appeal.
Public Aooearance of Members
When a commission member appears in a non-official, non-representative capacity
before any public or private body, the member shall not identify or disclose his/her
membership on a commission. tf a question of membership arises, the member shall
indicate that he/she is appealing and speaking only as an individual. If a commission
member appears as the representative of the applicant or a member of the public, the
Political Reform Act governs this appearance. The City Attorney should be consulted.
Members should take notice that the Brown Act makes punishable as a misdemeanor,
the attendance by a member at a meeting at which action is taken in violation of the
Brown Act. "Action taken" is defined to mean a collective decision, commitment or
promise by a majority of the members of such a body when setting as a body, upon
a motion, proposal, resolution, order or ordinance. Further, the Brown Act provides
that the City can be enjoined by the courts from violating the Brown Act. (See Section
XII Ralph M. Brown Act).
Communication with the City Council
To avoid possible compromising situations, the invitation to individual commission
members to address the Council on matters relating to their official capacity rests
solely with the City Council. It .should be emphasized, additionally, that when a
member is present at a Council meeting and is asked to address the Council on a
matter, the member should represent the viewpoint of the commission as a whole (not
a personal opinion), unless a proper qualification is made.
WorkinQ with Other Members
Members should make every effort to uphold their reputation for honesty, fairness and
openness with the citizens of the community. Each group will undoubtedly consist of
diverse personalities; it is important that we work together to accomplish common
goals.
Workina with Staff
Commission members are individually appointed by the City Council. City staff
assigned to work with the groups report to the City Manager, who in turn, reports to
the City Council. Each group usually is aided by a department director or administrator
who provides staff support.
If a commissioner wishes to initiate a project which requires staff development, it is
necessary that it be placed on the commission agenda for discussion and a
recommendation to the City Council that the project be authorized. Only after City
Council authorization may staff begin preparing the necessary reports and studies.
Staff support also means facilitating operations. Staff is aware of their responsibilities,
and the members should be aware of the time involved on the part of staff in preparing
studies and reports requested.
If friction develops, individuals should make every attempt to clarify differences and
make certain that clear communication is taking place. The public meeting should not
be used to express anger or disagreement. If differences cannot be resolved by this
method, the Mayor and/or City Manager should then be consulted in an effort to
resolve the matter.
Staff Reports to Council on Commission Actions
There will be occasions when City staff will be required to prepare an agenda report
on either a commission action or appeal for City Council review. In preparation of such
a report the staff member should present both the staff position and the commission's
position. The position of members not voting in the majority on an item should also
be presented in the staff report if so indicated by the member.
It is the desire of the City Council to have an opportunity to hear and consider all sides
of an issue and alternative recommendations to assist in their decision-making process.
6
Commission Members Runnine for Elective Office
Members of the City's commissions shall be permitted to retain membership on such
appointive bodies while seeking any elective office. Members of appointive bodies
shall not, however, use the meetings, functions or activities of such bodies for
purposes of campaigning for elective office.
Commission Positions on Ballot Prooosals and Legislation
Commissions may review and make recommendations to the City Council on ballot
proposals and legislation. The City Council shall review all such recommendations.
Commission member shall only represent the majority position of the City Council on
such matters unless speaking as an individual or indicating a minority opinion.

Committees
Several weeks ago I mentioned to the City Council that it might be appropriate, instead of
forming any more City committees, thai you consider developing the City Council lialr-on
responsibilities and committee responsibilities. The foBowing is only a suggestion:
Each member of the City Council to serve as a liailon to the following commissions:
Parks and Recreation Commission, Traffic Safety Commission, and Public Safety
Commission.
The City Council may also want to establish internal committees made up of the City
Council and the City staff. Suggested City committees are: general plan, legislative,
finance, planning, economic development, and public works/facilities.
In addition to the above, the Council may get involved in, or may assign one of its members to,
the following areas of interest; cultural pre.~rva~ion, design standards, multi-use Wails, senior
citizens, child care, and school district boundaries.
This list does not include organizations which you currently participate in (the Western Area
COG, RTA and RCTC).
As you can see from the lists above, the Council could be very busy being involved in every
aspect of managing the City. I suggest that you pick and choose those areas of major concern.
This item should be scheduled for discussion in the neat future.

SOLID WASTE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT AND RESOLUTION
RECOMMENDATION:
BACKGROUND:
FISCAL IMPACT:
ATTACHMENTS:
That the City Council adopt an amendment to the Solid
Waste Ordinance and approve a resolution granting an
exemption to haul construction debris for Mr. David Jones
dba Big Bin
Prior to the adoption of the City's Solid Waste Ordinance,
the City Council entertained a request from Mr. David
Jones dba Big Bin requesting a two year exemption
allowing him to continue hauling construction debris.
Additionally, the City Council also took testimony
requesting that the definition of gross revenues be modified
to subtract landfill fees and bad debts from gross revenues.
The City Council directed Staff to work with Mr. Jones and
review the gross revenues definition. The attached
ordinance and resolution grants Mr. Jones dba Big Bin his
requested two year waiver and redefines gross revenues
subtracting landfill fees and bad debts from gross revenues.
The redefinition of gross revenues will reduce franchise
fees; however, the redefinition is considered appropriate.
