The City Clerk reported that notice had been duly given and that no written protests had been received by the City. Public Works Director Pulliam recommended that this matter be continue to March 1, 19940 Mr, Alwien M. H. Dierl, 28689 Roan Road, recommended that the City advertise for suggestions on ways to handle the landslide problem and suggested that certain things be considered to stabilize the landslide area: injection of certain petroleum products in the slide plane and the use of a particular type of mat to improve the surface of Palos Verdes Drive South. Councilwoman Brooks moved, seconded by Councilman McTaggart to continue this public hearing to March 1, 1994. Motion carried. COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS (106 x 301 x 602 x 605 x 1201 x 1502 x 1806) City Clerk Purcell presented the staff memorandum of Feb. 15th and the recommendation to make appointments to the following committees for a two year term of office, said members to serve until December 1995: (1) TRAFFIC COMMITTEE, RECREATION & PARKS COMMITTEE, FINANCE ADVISORY COMMITTEE, VIEW RESTORATION COMMITTEE, TRANSIT ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND PUBLIC ACCESS CABLE TV COMMITTEE. (2) APPOINT A CHAIRPERSON FOR EACH COMMITTEE TO SERVE UNTIL DECEMBER 6, 1994, Councilwoman Brooks moved, seconded,by Councilman McTaggart to reduce the size of the Recreation & Parks Committee from nine to seven members. This reduction it was felt would put the size of the committee in line with that of other committees. It was argued, however, that perhaps having nine members resulted in more creativity. A consensus was arrived at to discuss appointments to the Recreation & Parks Committee last and to postpone the motion until that time. Discussion dealt with concern for whether the ballots reflected the names of all candidates who applied and whether only some of the appointments should be made at this meeting with the remainder being delayed until the March 1 meeting. Councilwoman Lyon moved, seconded by Councilwoman Brooks to increase from three to five the membership on the Public Access Cable TV Advisory Committee. A brief discussion ensued relative to the agreement with the other participating cities vis -a -vis the size of the committee since representation on the Cable TV Advisory Board was based on city population. It was the consensus that staff should review this agreement to determine the size of the committee. Continued discussion of the committee applicants resulted in the consensus that it would be permissible for applicants to apply for other committees in addition to those indicated on their original application. Councilwoman Brooks moved, seconded by Councilwoman Lyon to postpone appointment to all of these committees until March 1. Motion carried. Councilwoman Brooks moved, seconded by Councilman McTaggart to add the names of Larry Clark, Jon Cartwright and Carole Black to the View Restoration Committee ballot; that Jon Cartwright's name also be added to the Finance Advisory Ballot; and that all applicants have until February 21 to indicate their interest in other committees. Motion carried. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 15, 1994 PAGE 3 CITYWIDE LANDSCAPING & LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT (901 x 1204) Public Works Director Pulliam presented the staff memorandum of Feb. 15th and the following recommendations to (1) CONTINUE THE CITYWIDE LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT FOR FISCAL YEAR 1994 -95 IN ITS CURRENT FORM, OR RE- SPREAD IT IN A NEW FORM. (2) IF COUNCIL WISHED TO CONTINUE THE DISTRICT IN ITS CURRENT FORM, AWARD THE CONSULTING SERVICES CONTRACT TO BSI, THE CURRENT CONSULTANT; OTHERWISE, AWARD THE CONTRACT TO THE LOWEST BIDDER DEPENDING ON THE OPTION CHOSEN TO RE- SPREAD THE ASSESSMENT; AND, AUTHORIZE STAFF TO SPEND UP TO AN ADDITIONAL 5% FOR CONTINGENCY. (3) AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE SUCCESSFUL CONSULTANT TO PERFORM THE WORK. Warren Sweetnam, 7 Top Rail Lane, representing the Rockinghorse Road Homeowners Association suggested that the Council take the alternative to re- analyze the assessment because he felt the rural portion of the City did not benefit as much from this district as the remainder of the City. Lois Larue, 3136 Barkentine Rd., stated her disagreement with the previous speaker and objected to the contract being awarded to Charles Abbott & Associates. After clarification of the assessment process for this district and discussion of the difference this re- spread of the assessment would result in, Councilwoman Lyon moved, seconded by Councilwoman Brooks to continue the district for six months and place the question of continuance of the district on the November ballot. Discussion of the motion centered on the feasibility of a six -month continuation in light of the County's role in preparing property tax billing and, lastly, the resulting reduction in the City's revenue. The motion failed on the following roll call vote: AYES: LYON AND BROOKS NOES: BYRD, McTAGGART & KUYKENDALL Mayor Kuykendall moved, seconded by Councilman Byrd to continue the citywide landscaping and lighting district for fiscal year 1994 -95 in its current configuration. The motion carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: BYRD, McTAGGART & MAYOR KUYKENDALL NOES: LYON AND BROOKS Councilman McTaggart moved, seconded by Councilman Byrd to authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to sign the contract with the current consultant, BSI Consultants, Inc. Motion carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: BYRD, McTAGGART & MAYOR KUYKENDALL NOES: LYON AND BROOKS CEREMONIAL EVENTS: Mayor Kuykendall presented a certificate of Recognition to Kelvin Yu, the student of the month for February 1994. In addition to being president of his sophomore class at Peninsula High School, Kelvin was also honored for his high academic achievement and involvement in extra- curricular activities. Melissa Ponce DeLeon was then recognized as student of the month for January 1994 and was honored for her efforts in organizing delivery of food to the elderly in the community at Thanksgiving and for her volunteer work with kindergarten students. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 15, 1994 PAGE 4 NATIONAL POLICY FORUM (306 X 310) Mayor Kuykendall summarized the background on the National Policy Forum as a think tank for refining government and its work in providing information on successful local government programs ' and other "ideas that work." If Council was agreeable, he requested that staff be directed to prepare a draft report describing how the City has creatively responded to operating City services with reduced revenues and staff. Lois Larue, 3136 Barkentine, spoke in opposition to the City's participation in what she felt was a partisan program. Councilwoman Brooks moved, seconded by Councilwoman Lyon to participate in this program. Motion carried. RECESS & RECONVENE: At 8:25 P.M. Mayor Kuykendall requested that he be excused from the remainder of the meeting due to illness, The meeting reconvened at 8:37 P.M. Mayor Pro Tem Byrd then chaired the remainder of the meeting. LANDSLIDE MORATORIUM AREA - ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS (1801 x 1203) Associate Planner Rojas presented the staff memorandum of February 15 and the recommendation to direct staff to incorporate the environmental analysis necessary for establishing the Zone 2 development standards into the moratorium area sewer system EIR at the time a decision is made to pursue such EIR by the Council. This recommendation involved expanding the scope of the environmental review necessary for the RDA proposed sewer system in the Landslide Moratorium Area to include an analysis of establishing the Zone 2 Development Overlay. Such an expanded analysis could then be paid for through either: 1) existing RDA funding (Horan Settlement funds); or 2) the formation of a Sewer Assessment District (which Staff will be recommending to pay for at least a portion of the sewer costs). Although Staff could not predict Council's future action on the formation of the District, Staff felt this was the only to identify advanced payment of the EIR costs by the benefiting from implementation of the Zone 2 Development Standards. Continuing with his report, Mr. Rojas said that the RDA is currently considering a sewer system design encompassing the entire landslide area (Abalone Cove and Portuguese Bend) and part of the on -going study will involve an environmental analysis of the impacts associated with the sewer system construction. In the case of the Abalone Cove area, the concept of establishing a domestic sewer system was analyzed in a 1990 EIR (the L.A. County certified "Abalone Cove Landslide Stabilization Project" EIR). Notwithstanding this previous analysis, Staff felt that the actual sewer system design for Abalone Cove would have to be analyzed through a Subsequent EIR, given the probable impacts identified in the 1990 EIR, the Federal listing of the California gnatcatcher in 1993 and the availability of new project- specific information. Given the need for a Subsequent EIR to implement, the Abalone Cove portion of the Landslide area sewer system, Staff felt that the subject EIR should include an analysis of the proposed Zone 2 Development Overlay, as Zone 2 lies within the Abalone Cove Landslide and there is a direct link between the two conceptual projects that needs to be addressed. According to Dr. Ehlig's memo, one of the conditions for allowing limited development in Zone 2 is predicated on landowners agreeing to hookup to a future sewer system. Likewise, construction of a sewer system in Zone 2 may facilitate additional development in the area (only if the area is determined to be stable) , of which the Zone 2 Development Standards Will attempt to address. Given this link, Staff felt that from an environmental review perspective, an analysis of the sewer system and overlay zones as a combined project scope would be appropriate. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 151 1994 PAGE 5 If the Council wished to pursue this option, Staff recommended that a Subsequent EIR (to the County EIR) be prepared which analyzes the impacts of the proposed sewer system design /Overlay Development Standards for Zone 2, with a cumulative impact analysis of the sewer system design /Overlay Development Zones for the entire Landslide Moratorium Area. Although Staff had not yet received any cost estimates from consultants with respect to such an EIR, Staff estimated the cost to be comparable to the Expanded EIR estimates listed in the earlier table ($85,000 to $120,000). City Manager Bussey reiterated the request received from Mr. Beck to continue this matter to March 1. Additionally, he reported that many of the letters received by the City indicated that there is misunderstanding about the location of Zone 2 which is an area that has had no land movement since the City started analysis. With regard to the use of Horan funds for use of the EIR, staff would not recommend that Horan funds be used for the Zone 2 EIR. Council requested staff to report on the availability of the sewer system study with the idea of making this available for people in the Redevelopment Area. It was the consensus that staff would verify the availability date in the Friday Report. March 14 was the suggested date for a Council work shop on the sewer system. Additional Council discussion focused on a mechanism for charging the funding for the EIR for Zone 2 to the benefiting property owners, It was clarified that the sewer project was being done on recommendation of the Landslide Panel of Experts and that funds from the Horan settlement bond proceeds would only be used for the Abalone Cove portion of the sewer system and would not be used for any improvements to the Portuguese Bend area; only City money loaned to the RDA or grant money is used in Portuguese Bend. Staff indicated that it would be possible to add an analysis of the environmental impacts of Zone 2 development to the sewer system Environmental Impact Report and charge the incremental costs of the Zone 2 EIR to the benefiting property owners through an assessment district. Al Edgerton, 59 Oceanaire, representing Peninsula Preservation read from a prepared statement dated February 15, 1994 which, among other things, stated that organization's objection to expenditure of City funds for this EIR. (Mr. Edgerton' s statement is on file with the City Clerk's Office.) Speaking in favor of performing the EIR were the following speakers: Mark Guerrero, 3818 Morganfield Avenue and Carl Gutierrez, 3 Clovetree Place. These speakers stated that their property is stable and agreed that the assessment should be for those benefiting from the study. Betsey Kelly, 6611 Vallon Drive, inquired about the City liability in the event a house slide. Muriel Titzler, 3 Ginger Root, said that the most important thing done to -date was installation of the dewatering wells by ACLAD which was paid for by the residents and not out of the Horan funds, and that most of the of the alleviating projects should have been completed by 19910 Lois Larue, 3136 Barkentine, stated that water was draining into the Altamira Canyon and that she disagreed with lining Altamira Canyon. Councilwoman Brooks moved, seconded by Councilman McTaggart to continue this matter until after the Council's work shop on the sewer system. Motion carried. MEASURE "A" PARK FUNDS (602 x 1202) Recreation and Parks Administrator Rosenfeld presented the February 15 staff CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 15, 1994 PAGE 6 memorandum and the recommendation to review the R &P Committee's recommendation on prioritization of Measure "A" park funds and direct staff to include $35,000 in the fiscal year 1994 -95 budget for a consultant to prepare an up -dated and refined site plan which would include the specific facilities. Edith Mayerson, 28825 Trailriders Drive, representing Peninsula Seniors, stated her support for the Committee's recommendation. Paul Sefchek, 38 Mela Lane, said he was one of the circulators for this Measure "A" bond petition and that one of the original purposes for the use of the funds was to maintain open space on the Peninsula. He stated support for the expansion of the Pt. Vicente Interpretive Center as long as it meant acquiring additional land space as opposed to enlarging the structure. He suggested acquisition of some of the landslide area to maintain as open space in an undeveloped manner. Council discussion centered on the lack of funding for staf f ing for a senior center and the 20 year limitation on using Measure "A*' funding for maintenance costs at such a center, after which it would have to come from the General Fund. The suggestion was made that instead of a senior center that perhaps a multi- purpose community center would be a more practical approach. It was the consensus that because implementing any changes at Pt. Vicente would require the approval of both the State and Federal government that staff should develop a timeline on the contacts with these agencies. RESIDENTIAL DESIGN REVIEW - NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY STANDARDS (1203) Associate Planner Rojas presented the February 15 staff memorandum and the recommendation to consider staff recommended procedure and format for re- initiation of proceedings to establish a residential design review program and /or neighborhood compatibility standards for the City. Council discussion centered on the importance of providing homeowners with guidelines of acceptable designs, how these standards should improve and not degrade the community, how additions should appear as though they belonged on the structure, the importance of having standards that were objective rather than subjective, the use of the work already completed by the Planning Commission subcommittee on this issue and, lastly, how a neighborhood could be defined. It was the consensus to delay making a decision on the matter until after the Planning Commission has completed its current revision of the relevant Development Code sections and reports to Council. The suggestion was made that when the entire process is completed that the guidelines be distributed to architects that do work in the City. Lois Larue, 3136 Barkentine, suggested that the pilot program be done in a neighborhood where a member of Council resides. SIGN AMORTIZATION - WESTERN AVENUE (1203 x 1801) Planning Director Bernard presented the staff memorandum of February 15 and the recommendation to review the Western Avenue sign amortization program and direct staff accordingly. Councilwoman Lyon moved, seconded by Councilwoman Brooks to suspend the Western Avenue sign amortization program until completion of the Development Code Revisions and the Western Avenue Specific Plan (Option No. 3) . Motion carried. Staff clarified that the sign code for the City of Los Angeles was quite similar to that of the City, however Los Angeles does not necessarily enforce its code. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 15, 1994 PAGE 7 SIDEWALK REPAIR PROGRAM - FY 1994 -95 (1204 x 1405) Associate Engineer Allison presented the staff memorandum of February 15 and the recommendation to continue the fiscal year 1993 -94 sidewalk repair program as in the past. Councilman McTaggart moved, seconded.by Councilwoman Lyon to continue the program as in the past with the direction that staff strive for cost containment. RECESS & RECONVENE: At 10:10 P.M. Mayor Pro Tem Byrd declared a recess. The meeting reconvened at 10:20 p.m. Responding to the Mayor's call for public comment for items not on the agenda was Betsey Kelly, 6611 Vallon Drive, who spoke relative to an art jury. Lois Larue, 3136 Barkentine, commented on the condition of the storm drain in Portuguese Bend Canyon and how the water is pouring into the area below Palos Verdes Drive South. City Manager Bussey said that area is moving, that because of land movement the pipe is designed to move and break apart, that it has separated a number of feet since last repaired and will continue to do so. He said that staff will again inspect this area. ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR: TELEWORK CENTER MARKET ASSESSMENT STUDY (1505 X 1204) Senior Analyst Dolleschel presented the February 15 staff report and the recommendation to award the contract for the telework center market assessment study to Frank Wilson & Associates at a not to exceed figure of $30,000; authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign said contract and authorize staff to execute the required paperwork related to this activity. Additionally, Ms. Dolleschel reported on staff's visit along with Councilmembers Byrd and Lyon to the telebusiness center in Ontario. Representing Aldaron Inc. was Gloria Newby, who briefed the Council on the role that Aldaron would play in working with staff on the completion of this project and the part that the market assessment would play in determining whether such a center was feasible in this area. Council questioned the necessity of this assessment study based upon information received at the Ontario site and instead voiced the opinion that starting off with a smaller center was a better alternative. Concern was expressed about the hourly costs for the study group, that the Ontario center was empty when it should have been full considering the earthquake damage, and if this was a project that should instead be funded by- private enterprise. Additional discussion clarified how the study would be conducted within the city, that the information gathered would be used in determining the feasibility of the center, the fact that some General Fund money would be used, and that a center such as this could be an aid toward reducing air pollution. It was the consensus to continue this item to the next meeting when a full council would be present. BUILDING & SAFETY CONTRACT REVIEW (201 X 1203) Director Bernard presented the staff memorandum of February 15 and the recommendation to prepare a request for proposal (RFP) and solicit new proposals from interested consulting firms for contract services. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 15, 1994 PAGE 8 Lois Larue, 3136 Barkentine, spoke in opposition to awarding the contract to Charles Abbott & Associates and suggested the use of the County for these services and or put the matter out for bid. Councilman McTaggart moved, seconded by Councilwoman Brooks to direct staff to prepare a Request for Proposal and solicit new proposals from interested consulting firms and the County for contract services. Motion carried. 1994 MAJOR PROJECTS WORK PROGRAM FOR PLANNING, BUILDING AND CODE ENFORCEMENT ( 2 01 X 1203) Director Bernard presented the staff memorandum of February 15 and the recommendation to confirmed staff is proposed work program and prioritization of major projects for 1994. Lois Larue, 3136 Barkentine Road, stated that she felt that the problems in the landslide area are so severe that they should be number one. Councilman McTaggart moved, seconded by Councilwoman Lyon to adopt the staff recommendation. Motion carried. RESOL. NO. 94 -9 - AMENDMENT TO COUNCIL RULES OF PROCEDURE (103 X 307) Mayor Pro Tem Byrd stated that he had requested removal of this item from the Consent Calendar in the event the public wanted to speak to the issue. Lois Larue, 3136 Barkentine, Corresponding Secretary of the South Bay Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, reiterated her disagreement with the rules of procedure. Councilman McTaggart moved, seconded by Councilwoman Brooks to adopt RESOL. NO. 94 -9 - AMENDING THE COUNCIL RULES OF PROCEDURE. The motion carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: BYRD, McTAGGART & BROOKS NOES: LYON ABSENT: KUYKENDALL VIEW RESTORATION COMMITTEE APPEALS (1806 x 1101) Mayor Pro Tem Byrd presented his memorandum of February 15 and the recommendation to direct staff to prepare a resolution providing for the ability to appeal decisions of the View Restoration Committee to the City Council. Discussion of this recommendation included clarification that the lawsuit filed against the City for implementation of the view ordinance was ruled on basis of the statute of limitation in favor of the City and not upon the constitutional issues, that these appeals could possibly be heard by the Planning Commission, that if the appeal process is applied that it will not stave off any constitutional challenges of the ordinance, the appeals could be a de novo hearing or could require a heightened standard of appeal. It was the consensus that appeals would be heard if it had been determined that a substantial error had been found in the application of the ordinance, in which case it would be sent back to the committee for rehearing. Councilman McTaggart moved, seconded by Councilwoman Lyon to instruct the City Attorney to prepare a draft ordinance that would provide for appeal to the City Council based on error in the application of the ordinance only, and not a de novo hearing. Motion carried.
