15 Award of Contract for Citizen Opinion Survey
RECOMMENDATION:
15.1 Approve a contract in the amount of $20,345 to Godbe Research & Analysis to
perform a Citizen Opinion Survey;
15.2 Provide staff with any additional input before consultant begins developing survey
instrument;
15.3 Appropriate $20,345 (which includes a 10% contingency fund) from the General
Fund Unallocated Reserves.
Assistant to the City Manager Yates presented the staff report (as per agenda material),
advising that the City's 1997 survey questions will be utilized as a baseline but, in light of the
changes that have occurred within this community, current issues will be addressed.
Mr. Tim McClarney, principal with Godbe Research and Analysis, informed the City Council that
the survey results will include an analysis of data and commented on statistical error as well as
the selection process.
In light of the proposed cost for this survey/analysis, Councilman Pratt commented on the
number of citizens that will be surveyed, viewing 400 surveyed citizens an insufficient number
and, therefore, suggested that by way of a mailer, such a survey be completed by City staff.
Advising that the City Councilmembers will be given the opportunity to review the survey
questions prior to the actual survey, Mr. McClarney noted that the survey time is estimated at 15
minutes.
Councilman Naggar requested that the survey included questions with regard to the citizens
opinion on the City's Growth Management Plan.
Councilman Roberts suggested that mass transportation be addressed in the survey.
Although concurring with Councilman Naggar's suggestion to address the City's Growth
Management Plan in the survey, Mayor Pro Tern Comerchero clarified that it was the City
Council's decision, approximately 11/2 to 2 years ago, to update the 1997 survey and, therefore,
requested that the survey address a balance of City issues, not just the Growth Management
Plan.
Concurring with the completion of this survey, Mayor Stone suggested that such a survey be
completed by an unbiased workforce and, therefore, not City staff.
MOTION: Councilman Naggar moved to approve the staff recommendation. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Roberrs and voice vote reflected approval with the exception of
Councilman Pratt who voted n_9.

16 Consideration of "Temecula Revisited" Rod Run and Cruise to the Blues Sponsorshio
Request
RECOMMENDATION:
16.1 Consider the sponsorship request for the "Temecula Revisited" Rod Run and Cruise
to the Blues event and provide direction to staff.
Mayor Stone abstained with regard to this item.
Commenting on the amount of time involved with the preparation/organization of such an event,
Assistant City Manager O'Grady presented the staff report (as per agenda material), advising
that other organizations such as the Temecula Town Association and the Balloon and Wine
Festival fund paid staff and noting that a $15,000 management fee has been reflected for this
particular event.
Although supporting the event, Councilman Pratt relayed his desire that this event as well as
many others supported by the City work toward being financially free from City support.
Having surveyed the Old Town merchants as to their opinion of the proposed event, Mr. Pat
Vesey, 28192 Tierra Vista, Promotions Best of Best Shows, apprised the City Council of their
support. Commenting on the benefits this event will bring to Old Town, Mr. Vesey reviewed the
program for this particular event; relayed the intent for this event to augment the Temecula
Town Association Rod Run event; and advised that the event proceeds will benefit the Theatre
Foundation.
Councilman Naggar expressed concern as to how the proposed event may impact the
Temecula Town Association event.
Responding to the concern of hosting two similar events in Old Town, Mr. Jack Grimsley, 30712
Burning Tree, Canyon Lake, advised that it is very common to successfully host two such
community events without impacting attendance at either event, noting that each event tends to
increase its attendance by 10%-15% a year.
Primarily because of the attendance the event will bring to Old Town, the following individuals
spoke in support of the proposed Temecula Revisited Rod Run and Cruise to the Blues event:
· Mr. Ron Benzango
41498 Avenida Garcia
· Ms. Julie Pitruzello
27740 Jefferson Avenue
· Mr. Marvin Hayes Butterfield Square property manager, representing himself
as well as the Butterfield Square property owner
· Mr. Ed Dool
Stage Stop
28464 Old Town Front Street, representing the Temecula
· Mr. Mike Thesing
30291 Via Brisa
· Ms. Cathy Thompson
28690 Front Street, #300
Appreciating this event's support of the Theatre Foundation, Mr. John Sterling, representing the
Temecula Town Association, 40491 Paseo Del Cielo, relayed his opposition to this event,
questioning whether Old Town could successfully support two such events.
R:\Minutes\071100
10
Councilman Naggar reiterated concern with regard to the City successfully supporting two rod
run events, wanting to ensure that the proposed event will not have a negative impact on the
Temecula Town Association Rod Run event.
Because of the potential business such events provide to Old Town, Councilman Pratt relayed
his support of the proposed event.
Supporting the concept of a second Rod Run event in Old Town, Councilman Roberts
commented on the benefits an additional event would provide to Old Town; stated that Old
Town could successfully support two such events; but requested that some of the proposed
support costs be renegotiated with Mr. Vesey.
Clarifying the proposed fees, Assistant City Manager O'Grady noted that the management fee
($15,000) will be funded through the organization's budget and that the City's contribution to this
event would be in the amount of $30,000 for support costs.
Concurring with Councilman Roberts' suggestion to renegotiate the proposed costs, Mayor Pro
Tem Comerchero briefly addressed that the fact that this event would be at a smaller scale than
the Temecula Town Association (TTA) Rod Run event and that no alcohol would be served but
the organization is requesting $30,000 for supports services similar to what has previously been
requested by the TTA. Mr. Comerchero, therefore, suggested to conceptually approve the
event but that the proposed costs be renegotiated.
Councilman Naggar requested that the economic benefit of this event to Old Town be
determined.
MOTION: Councilman Naggar moved to approve the Temecula Revisited Rod Run and Cruise
to the Blues event in concept but that staff renegotiate the support services costs to the City
with Mr. Vesey. The motion was seconded by Councilman Roberts and roll call vote reflected
approval with the exception of Mayor Stone who abstained.

that the requested funding for the Economic Development Corporation of Southwest Riverside
County and the Temecula Valley Film Council was the same as last year; that the funding
request for Inland Economic Partnership increased by $700 which is based on population; and
that the funding request for the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce increased by 8.5%
over last year's request. It was noted that the funding request for Temecula Valley Chamber of

R:\Minutes\071100

Councilman Pratt relayed his desire to lessen the City's financial support to these types of
organizations. Although concurring with the efforts/services of the Chamber, Mr. Pratt noted
that the business community primarily benefits from these services but that all the citizens of the
City are requested to financially support it.
Mayor Pro Tem Comerchero informed the City Council that each organization had to submit
different degrees of an audit.
Mr. Tony Turski, 37970 De Portola, Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce, provided a brief
overview of the Chamber's accomplishments, services provided to the City, and commented on
the successful partnership that has evolved between the City of Temecula and the Chamber of
Commerce.
Having participated in the ShowBiz Expo in Los Angeles, Ms. Maggi Allen, 27740 Jefferson
Avenue, representing the Temecula Valley Film Council, apprised the Council of the exposure
the City booth provided to the City and invited the public to visit the Film Council's new web site,
effective August 1, 2000 (www.temculafilm.com).
Mayor Stone requested that the Film Council report progress made with regard to film industry
recruitments to the City of Temecula. Mr. Stone, echoed by Councilman Naggar, as well
commented on the successful relationship that has evolved between the City and the Chamber
of Commerce.
In response to an earlier comment made by Councilman Pratt, Mayor Stone noted that although
the citizens are subsidizing these business ventures, the citizens are the beneficiaries to the
return on this investment.
MOTION: Councilman Naggar moved to approve the staff recommendation. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Roberts and voice vote reflected unanimous approval.
