Appropriation and Authorization to Release Funds for Old Town Specific
Plan Billboard Sign Lease
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council appropriate $20,000from Redevelopment Agency Account # 280-199-
999-5264, and authorize payment of the Old Town Specific Plan Billboard Sign Lease for two
billboards in an amount not to exceed ~20,000.
BACKGROUND:
On February 8, 1994, the City Council took action to adopt the Old Town Specific Plan. One
of the plan's components is an implementation plan. As part of the implementation plan, the
Old Town Capital/Promotional Improvements Program - 1994-2000 identifies a four year
program for assistance in leasing billboards along Interstate 15. The assistance program is
designed to use diminishing City participation to help promote the Old Town business district
through billboard advertising.
The City has received a request from the Old Town Temecula Main Street Association for
release of funds to assist with the billboard lease. The billboard basic lease in FY 93-94 was
$2,000 per month. In that fiscal year, the Agency contributed 50% of the base rate for the
billboard lease totalling $12,000,
As seen on the attached pages of the plan, the Agency's contribution for Fiscal Year 1994-95
is estimated at $20,000. The 01d Town Specific Plan anticipates two billboards along the
Interstate, one north and one south. With the current lease rate of ~1600 per month, the
amount requested by the Main Street Association will pay for 50% of the annual lease rate
for two signs, or 100% of the annual lease rate for one sign. The Agency's contribution of
100% for one sign would be contrary to the concept of diminishing Agency participation as
identified in the specific plan. Future years of the plan anticipate reduced annual assistance
of fifteen thousand, and seventy five hundred dollars (see attached),
In a separate action, Staff has additionally recommended that the City Council adopt a
resolution requesting Caltrans to install freeway guide signs identifying the Temecula Old
Town business district.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
The Agency Staff has included ~20,000 in the Agency economic development account to
assist with the Old Town Specific Plan billboard lease program.

Attention: Ron Bradley, City Manager
Dear Mr. Bradley,
In accordance to the Old Town Specific Plan, The Main Street
Program is to be allocated $20,000 by the City for billboard
advertising on the 1-15 freeway.
Currently, The Old Town Temecula Main Street Association along
with some financial help from the City has been able to lease
billboard signage for approximately one and half years. The
merchants raised about $24,000 for this project by prorating
the cost among the majority of businesses in Old Town. Our
billboard is subject to being seen by 36 million passengers
each month.
The direct and subliminal affect has proven to be profitable
to Old Town and the City at large. It should be noted that the
billboard has an event section which advertises events in Old
Town and other surrounding areas such as the Rod-Run, 4th July
Parade, Western Days and the Balloon & Wine Festival. Our
billboard really benefits Temecula as a whole.
Enclosed is our billboard rendering which appears on the bill-
board on the 1-15 south below the 1-215 freeways.
We would appreciate a date for this request to be put on the
City Council Agenda at your earliest convenience.

Status Report on Proposed Purchase of Rancho West Apartments
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file.
BACKGROUND:
At the meeting of September 13, 1994, Council requested a status report on the proposed
purchase of the Rancho West Apartments for affordable housing purposes. Approximately one
year ago, the City Council authorized negotiations with Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC} for
the purchase of the Rancho West Apartments for use as an affordable housing project. An
offer was made to RTC which was declined. Subsequently, RTC undertook an in-house
appraisal of the property in order to better respond to negotiations with the City. To date, we
have not received results of the RTC appraisal.
Staff, with the assistance of PMW Associates, is now in the process of preparing an
affordable housing plan in connection with new requirements of AB1290. A portion of that
plan will discuss the program options available to the City with respect to the expenditure of
their housing set-aside funds. The Rancho West Apartments project will be included as an
option for Council review.
I will provide an updated report as soon as we receive a response from RTC regarding their
valuation of the project. Notice from the RTC is anticipated during the latter part of October.

Old Town Redevelopmerit Advisory Committee
Prepared by: Marilyn Whisenand, Redevelopment Director
RECOMMENDATION:
That appointments be made to the Old Town Redevelopment Advisory Committee recognizing
the existing committee structure of three appointed members and four elected members.
BACKGROUND:
The Old Town Redevelopment Advisory Committee was formed in accordance with a
stipulated judgment which resulted from a law suit between the Redevelopment Agency of the
County of Riverside and Robert Dawes (Save Historic Old Temecula Association) which was
filed when the County first adopted the redevelopment plan. The Temecula Redevelopment
Agency became a party to the lawsuit when they activated the Agency and assumed
responsibility for the redevelopment plan in July of 1991.
The original stipulated judgment requires the formation of an Old Town Redevelopment
Advisory Committee consisting of seven residents and/or business owners. Three committee
members are to be appointed by the Council and four elected. The purpose of the committee
is to review redevelopment actions proposed to be undertaken by the City/Agency within the
Old Town area and provide an advisory report to the City/Agency.
In February of 1994, an interim stipulation was prepared which proposed to modify the original
judgement with respect to the makeup of the committee by decreasing the number of
members from seven to five and requiring that all members be appointed by the City Council
Although these changes were agreed upon by the parties to the lawsuit, the revised stipulation
has not been filed with the Court and it is still possible to make adjustments.
The Committee has reviewed the proposed changes to the stipulated judgement and strongly
feels that they should remain a seven-person body; four elected by Old Town
residents/business persons and three appointed by the City Council.
Staff has researched the procedures to be followed for an election which would be designed
after elections held by other redevelopment agencies for project area committees. Costs are
estimated at 92,000 for staff time and from 912,000-15,000of additional expenses such as
advertising, election management and oversight. The election would occur on a two year
cycle.
Attached is a description of the current committee makeup. Since terms have expired for
existing committee members, it is important that staff receive direction regarding the method
the Council prefers for the appointment and/or election of the committee.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Estimates of the cost required to hold an election for Oldtown Advisory Committee members
is $2,000 for staff services and $12,000-15,000of associated costs.
