COUNCIL BUSINESS
13 Temecula Valley Unified School District (TVUSD} selection of next Hiqh School Site
RECOMMENDATION:
13.1 Upon consideration of all the evidence, provide direction to the TVUSD on a
preferred site.
Providing the staff report (of record), Deputy City Manager Thornhill advised, for Councilman
Naggar, that although staff is not privy to the future construction plans for Pechanga, the
development of a convention center, hotel, full-service casino, RV camp ground would be
feasible possibilities.
By way of a PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Dave Gallaher, representing Temecula Valley Unified
School District, commented on the challenges of funding a new school site, particularly a high
school site, noting that traditionally the State funds 50% of the cost and local funds are allocated
to cover the remaining 50%; referenced the projected cost of $55 million; highlighted the
proposed sites of discussion (Redhawk High School (Site No. 1 ) - Fairview Road; Wolf Creek
High School (Site No. 2) - Fairview Road; and Wolf Creek High School (Site No. 3) -Wolf
Valley Road, commenting on accessibility and school enrollment); addressed the unique State
funding opportunity (100%) available to the District for a high school site and its approval
R:\Minutes\061300

requirements; and advised that in order for the new high school to open August 2002, approvals
must be obtained by September 1, 2000.
Relaying his concern with regard to the close proximity of High School Site No.1 and High
School Site No. 2 to the casino, Mayor Pro Tem Comerchero questioned the School District's
concern with the close proximity to which Mr. Gallaher noted that both sites would exceed the
location requirements placed on schools as to close proximity of establishments serving alcohol.
In an effort to prevent commuting, Mr. Gallaher noted that it would be the District's primary goal
to locate the high school nearest to the children it will serve.
Further addressing concerns/questions/issues raised by the City Council, Mr. Gallaher noted the
following:
· That High School No. 3 (Wolf Creek - Wolf Creek Valley Road) would actually be closer
to the casino than Site Nos. 1 and 2;
That with regard to Site No. I (Redhawk High School), State has approved the site as
demographically acceptable but has not yet accepted the price; if the State were to
accept the price, the entire project could be funded by the State;
· That Site No. 2 (Wolf Creek - Fairview Road) has not been redeemed by the State;
· That the Mitigation Fees have been reduced.
In closing, Mr. Gallaher as well addressed the proposed Fairview Road improvements along
with the construction of a high school.
In response to Councilman Roberts' concern with the traffic impacts that a new high school will
have to the areas of discussion, Mr. Gallaher advised of the following:
· That the District and the City are working together in an effort to address traffic concerns
prior to the construction of any school;
· That there will always be a 15-minute traffic rush during the mornings and afternoons;
· That the staggering of grades is difficult for those families that have siblings;
· That the staggering of neighborhoods has proven to be of limited success.
Mayor Stone thanked Mr. Gallaher and the Temecula Unified School District for allowing the
City Council to be a part of the site selection process.
Representing the owner of Wolf Creek, Mr. Sam Alhadeff, 41530 Enterprise Circle South, #120,
stated the following:
· That Assessment District No. 159 had met and that the County would like to meet with
City representatives to discuss improvements;
· That Site Nos. 1 and 2 will be over ¼ mile from the existing casino and that the distance
of a future casino from those two sites would be even further away;
· That 150' to 170' buffer along Pala Road will be in drainage swells and mature
landscaping;
R:\Minutes\061300

That the current property owner of the potential Wolf Creek High School (Site No. 3), in
an effort to address traffic concerns/traffic mitigation, would be willing to provide another
four acres to the high school site;
Mr. Doc Nichols, 45912 Paseo Gallate, candidate for the upcoming School Board election,
addressed safety concerns relative to the proposed high school sites, noting the following:
· Traffic impact on Pala Road
· Drinking near a high school
· Close proximity of the casino
In conclusion, Mr. Nichols relayed his opposition to the three proposed sites and recommended
that other locations be explored.
Favoring the Redhawk High School location the most, Mr. Wayne Hall, 42131 Agena Street,
expressed concern with the close proximity of the casino to the proposed school sites.
In light of the District's funding opportunity, Mayor Pro Tern Comerchero noted that the School
District, the City Council, and City staff would work together to address those safety concerns
to ensure that the selected site would provide the most optimum safety for the children.
Although reluctant with the construction of a high school near a casino, Mr. Comerchero relayed
that he would favor Site No. 1 (Redhawk).
For Councilman Naggar, Mr. Gallaher addressed the feasible acreage of two other potential
sites but commented on associated constraints.
Not highly favoring any of the three proposed locations because of the close proximity to the
casino, Councilman Roberts would support, ranked in priority, Site No. 1 (Redhawk), Site No. 2
0Nolf Creek - Fairview Road), and Site No. 3 (Wolf Creek - Wolf Creek Valley Road), noting
that he would not view Site No. 3 as a viable alternative because of the traffic impact and its
close proximity to the casino.
Thanking the School District for allowing the City Council to be involved in the site selection
process, Councilman Pratt relayed his support of Site No. 1 (Redhawk).
Although opposing the construction of a high school at any of the noted locations, Mayor Stone
relayed his understanding of the District's unique funding oppodunities and, therefore,
expressed his support for Site No. 2 (Wolf Creek - Fairview Road), noting pedestrian
accessibility to the site, surrounding developments, and the potential to eliminate traffic impacts.
Addressing Site No. 3 (Wolf Creek - Wolf Creek Valley Road), Mr. Stone commented on the
traffic impacts that site would create because of its close proximity to the elementary and middle
school sites.
Concurring with Mayor Stone, Councilman Roberts noted that Site No. 2 (Wolf Creek - Fairview
Road) would provide pedestrian-friendlier access and noted that he chose Site No. 1 primarily
because of time constraints and availability of State funding.
Mayor Stone, echoed by Councilman Roberts, reiterated his preference for Site No. 2 (Wolf
Creek - Fairview Road) and suggested that Site No. 1 (Redhawk) be considered as a site
alternative if State funding were feasible.
R:\Minutes\061300

Although not favoring any of the three proposed locations, Mayor Pro Tem Comerchero
expressed his understanding of the District's constraints and, therefore, offered the following
motion:
MOTION: Mayor Pro Tem Comerchero moved to express the City Council's disapproval of any
of the proposed three sites; but that if the District were to determine it essential to construct a
high school on one of those sites, the Council would rank them in priority as follows: Site No. 2
(Wolf Creek - Fairview Road, Site No. 1 (Redhawk), and Site No. 3 (Wolf Creek - Wolf Creek
Valley Road), with Site Nos. 2 and 1 being dependent upon available funding sources. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Robeds and roll call vote reflected approval with the
exception of Councilman Naggar who voted no.
14 Implementation of Special Tax - Measure C
RECOMMENDATION:
14.1 Adopt a resolution entitled:
RESOLUTION NO. 200043

Community Services Director Parker provided the staff report (of record).
By way of PowerPoint, Assistant Finance Director McDermott provided clarification on the cost
of operations for parks, recreation, medians, and arterial street lighting services; commented on
the recommended amount of $63.44 per single-family residential dwelling unit; and noted that
the resident savings will be partially offset by the Revenue Excess Sharing in Temecula (REST)
Program.
MOTION: Councilman Roberts moved to approve the adoption of Resolution No. 200043. The
motion was seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Comerchero and voice vote reflected unanimous

15 Reservation of Community Service Fundinq [Chaparral Stadium)
RECOMMENDATION:
15,1 Consider a reservation of unspent Community Service Funding and provide
direction to staff as to the amount to reserve.
Assistant Finance Director McDermott reviewed the staff report (as per agenda material), noting
that the remaining available balance from the 1999-2000 Community Services Funding line-item
budget is $44,700.
R:\Minutes\061300

Mayor Stone applauded the School Board Trustees for allocating $465,000 for the Chaparral
High School Stadium project.
Recommending that the available Community Services Funding of $44,700 be designated for
the All-Weather Track/snack bar/restrooms at the high school, Councilman Naggar noted that
additional funds would be necessary to complete the project.
By way of a video, Ms. Shari Crall, 31524 Britton Drive, representing the Chaparral High School
Stadium Drive, relayed the desire for the construction of an All-Weather Track, which would cost
$250,000; advised that the School Board did approve funding for bleachers; and briefly
commented on the benefits to the overall community by constructing such a track.
City Manager Nelson clarified staff's recommendation to reserve the $44,700 from 1999-2000
Community Services Funding to the 2000-2001 allocated funds.
Mayor Pro Tem Comerchero suggested that this request be discussed in the confines of the
Capital Budget Program (CIP).
Councilman Naggar relayed his desire to allocate the $44,700 to the School District for the
construction of an All-Weather Track.
Because the City has two high schools, Mayor Stone relayed his support to discuss the matter
during the CIP and, at which time, the construction of an All-Weather Track could be identified
as a goal for either Chaparral High School or Temecula Valley High School but advised that he
could not support the allocation until the full funding source has been determined.
Mayor Pro Tem Comerchero reiterated his desire to discuss the matter at the upcoming CIP
Workshop and suggested that the $44,700 be added to the CIP, leaving the remaining balance
unfunded, and that when funding were available, the process would proceed.
City Manager Nelson recommended that the $44,700 be considered during the CIP and that the
City allocate funds on a matching grant basis.
MOTION: Mayor Pro Tern Comerchero approved to include the AIl-Weather Track for
Chaparral High School in the upcoming CIP and that any funds provided to the School District
will be subject to matching funds. The motion was seconded by Councilman Roberts and voice
vote reflected approval with the exception of Councilman Pratt who was absent (Councilman
Pratt had briefly departed from the dais).
At 10:09 P.M., Mayor Stone called a brief recess and the meeting was reconvened at 10:15

Willlares, Vista, commented on the lack of knowledge the public has about each candidate and

As a member of the City Council Subcommittee, Councilman Naggar commented on the

City's Growth Management Plan, its implementation, and each candidate's opinion on the Plan.
Advising that his decision is based on what the residents in Temecula wanted as depicted in

Recapitulating his reasoning for his choice of candidates, Mayor Stone as well commented on
the number of qualified individuals and addressed the City's Growth Management Plan. Having
served the community for the past three years by filling a vacant position on the Planning

of Ms. Maryann Edwards.
Advising that he would support the reappointment of Mr. Ron Guerriero, Mayor Pro Tem
