UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. PROPOSED MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT: ORDINANCE NOS. 00 -849 AND 00 -848U RELATIVE TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STORM WATER AND URBAN RUNOFF CONTROLS AND RESOLUTION NO. 00 -3847 DECLARING THE CITY'S INTENT TO ESTABLISH A FEE SCHEDULE FOR NPDES BUILDING PLAN REVIEW AND INSPECTION PROGRAM In July 1996, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board issued a separate storm sewer system permit to the County of Los Angeles, as Principal Permittee, and 85 cities, including Temple City as co- permittee, to control and minimize the discharge of pollutants associated with storm water and urban runoff. In January, 2000, the Regional Board approved the Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP), thereby expanding the region's required storm water control and regulation responsibilities by further addressing the issues of construction and development planning. The proposed ordinance and resolution meet the requirements of the Board's mandate to regulate the reduction of storm water pollution. City Manager Martin stated Council held a public hearing regarding this issue on May 2, 2000. Council is asked to consider proposed ordinances providing for the implementation of storm water and urban runoff controls for new construction; and a resolution declaring the City's intent to establish a fee schedule for the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination (NPDES) building plan review and inspection program. John Hunter, President of John L. Hunter and Associates, who will be responsible for the inspection and plan review and ensuring compliance of the Plan, answered questions of Council and explained the procedures and fee schedule based on uses. The County will reimburse the city for site visits to ensure the plan is functioning properly. Mayor Pro Tem Wilson moved to: 1) waive further reading and introduce Ordinance No. 00 -849, an ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY PROVIDING FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STORM WATER AND URBAN RUNOFF CONTROLS FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION, SERVICE FEES RELATED THERETO, AND AMENDING THE TEMPLE CITY MUNICIPAL CODE; 1 1 1 1 1 City Council Minutes July 18, 2000 Page 5 2) waive further reading and adopt Ordinance No. 00 -848U, an URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY RELATIVE TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STORM WATER AND URBAN RUNOFF CONTROLS AND RESOLUTION DECLARING THE CITY'S INTENT TO ESTABLISH A FEE SCHEDULE FOR NPDES BUILDING PLAN REVIEW AND INSPECTION PROGRAMS; and 3) adopt Resolution No. 00 -3847, a RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY ESTABLISHING STORM WATER AND URBAN RUNOFF CONTROLS FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION AND SERVICE FEES RELATED THERETO, seconded by Councilman Breazeal and unanimously carried. B. REVIEW OF CONDITION OF APPROVAL REGARDING REMOVAL OF EXISTING NON- CONFORMING POLE SIGN AT 5528 ROSEMEAD BOULEVARD (SPEED PRIDE/LIN LORD & ASSOCIATES) City Manager Martin stated, on June 20, 2000, the City Council reviewed and confirmed the conditions of approval for the expansion of an automobile repair service. All items were resolved except condition number 8 relative to the existing non - conforming sign on the premises in the C -3 zone. Darrel Frazeur, representing applicant Speed Pride Engineering, understood that the current code changes the height to 20 feet for a pole sign. He talked to the owner who felt that the sign was built in the 70s according to the code in effect then and felt he had the right to keep the sign as it is. Community Development Director Dawson stated the proposed options as listed in the staff report: allow the non - conforming sign as is; require the sign be reduced to 20 feet, or remove the sign which was staffs recommendation. City Manager Martin stated Council has the authority to attach a condition to the CUP if there is a nexus. Council discussed the issue, with consensus that a connection could not be made. Councilman Breazeal moved to reconfirm adoption of Resolution No. 00 -3840, deleting condition number 8 relative to the existing sign, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Wilson and unanimously carried. C. PROPOSED MEDIAN AT TEMPLE CITY BOULEVARD AND ELLTS LANE City Manager Martin stated this issue was brought up by Councilman Gillanders who felt there was a traffic hazard at that location. Mr. Martin recommended posting the site for no u -turns and no turns where appropriate in conjunction with the recommendation made by the City's Traffic Engineer, so the violator would incur the liability. Pat Lang, the City's Traffic Engineer, stated staff and Councilman Gillanders reviewed the situation a few weeks ago and Mr. Gillanders felt motorists should be prevented from making left turns onto Ellis Lane. Mr. Lang indicated cars are making left turns presently and are being ticketed when the Sheriff's Department is present. To his knowledge there have not been any accidents at that site. Options to prevent left turns could include a raised median or painted island with posted sign. A budget amendment of $33,000 would be required for the proposed median plan submitted by Transtech Engineering. When the Home Depot opened, it was felt this would be a heavily traveled route and only right turns were permitted for safety reasons. However, this City Council Minutes July 18, 2000 Page 6 has not proved to be the case and (in answer to a question by Councilman Breazeal) the risk at the present time is not great. Council discussed the issue and Mr. Lang and Public Works Coordinator Daniel responded to questions. Mayor Souder moved to remove the no left turn sign and monitor the situation for a period of six months, at which time the status would be reported back to Council, seconded by Councilman Breazeal and unanimously carried. D. GREEN STREET RIGHT -OF -WAY ACQUISITION STATUS The deadline of July 10, 2000 for fmal acquisition has passed and two properties still remain to be signed for the Green Street right -of -way acquisition. City Manager Martin stated the City has spent approximately $70,000 and several years on this project. At this point Council options include: 1) abandon the project; 2) proceed with the project, without the two properties in question; or 3) initiate condemnation proceedings. Councilman Breazeal moved to proceed with the project, omitting the two properties unless they consent by the end of July, seconded by Councilman Brook and unanimously carried. E. PROPOSED MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT: ORDINANCE NO. 00-851 (FIRST READING AND INTRODUCTION) REGULATING THE TIME, PLACE, TYPE OF GOODS SOLD, AND SIGNAGE FOR YARD SALES The City Council is requested to consider a proposed municipal code ordinance regarding the regulation of yard sales. City Manager Martin stated this item was previously considered by Council on May 16, 2000 and was ordered to be brought back. Mayor Pro Tem Wilson said she initially brought this item to Council because of a problem with the same people continually having a sale in front of their house with just five articles, without having to obtain a yard sale permit, as allowed in the current code. The proposed ordinance would eliminate this problem as well as allow 4 yard sales per year. Councilman Breazeal disagreed with the proposal, stating the defmition of a yard sale could be modified and enforced; however, he felt the removal of yard sale signs was not currently being enforced and the proposed ordinance would only exacerbate the situation. Mayor Souder concurred, stating the proposed ordinance will not change the problems we have now. He preferred the ordinance as is to restrict the number of yard sales which he felt the city was not adequately enforcing now. Public Safety Manager Fetherolf stated there are a number of violations regarding yard sales in that residents are not getting a permit and not taking down signs. The present ordinance is being enforced. Last weekend the Code Enforcement Officer took down over 80 signs. The proposed ordinance would be easier to enforce and would help reduce the clutter of signs. Councilman Breazeal stated Council does not adopt ordinances to facilitate the ease of administration. Council adopts ordinances for the betterment of the community. Ms. Fetherolf responded that allowing additional opportunities for residents to have yard sales and making it more convenient to have them would benefit the community. The purpose of the proposed 1 1 1 1 1 City Council Minutes July 18, 2000 Page 7 ordinance is to provide additional services to the community and to reduce the blight of yard sale signs. Councilman Breazeal moved to reject introduction of proposed Ordinance No. 00 -851, seconded by Mayor Souder and carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilman - Breazeal, Brook, Souder NOES: Councilman - Wilson ABSENT: Councilman- Gillanders F. REPORT ON WOMEN'S CLUB ACTIVITIES - JUNE 10, 2000 THROUGH JULY 8, 2000 City Manager Martin stated certain complaints were registered regarding events held at the Women's Club and its caterer /event manager, Mr. Startup. Council directed this issue be brought back for a status report. Ester Davido, 6018 Kauffman Avenue, said she hears a lot of noise from the Women's Club and she can't go to sleep. When she goes to church on Sunday she is half asleep. Sam Davido, 6018 Kauffman Avenue, stated he has known the Startups for a number of years, but his family has had to put up with people parking in front of his house and noise from patrons of the Women's Club arriving and leaving every weekend. A lot of them are drunk. When asked to turn down their music when they are parked in front of his house, they threaten him. He doesn't understand why this is allowed in a residential area. Mr. Startup is never there, and when Mr. Davido called the police last weekend to complain about the noise, he was told they had four other calls. He asked that the hours be cut so the patrons are out of the Club by 10:00 p.m. Richard Poston, 6236 Rosemead Boulevard, stated he was a DJ at the Women's Club on July 8 and relayed details of an incident that took place that evening as he was re- loading his equipment. Mr. Poston stated his car was parked in a red zone in front of the fire department when the fire department received a call and asked him to move his car. He responded that he would be there only 3 -5 minutes and was not blocking the drive. The sheriff was called, made him sit on the curb, flashlight in his eyes, and had his car was impounded. He was appalled at the unfair treatment he received. Mr. Poston stated there was no sign stating this was a tow away zone and he was never towed away from a red zone before. In response to Councilman Breazeal's question if he meant he had parked in a red zone previously, Mr. Poston said he didn't know - he usually parked in a loading zone, but he was not blocking the fire department driveway, he was just in the red zone. Mr. Poston felt he should have only received a citation and asked for the money refunded that he had to pay for the fee and to get his car out of tow. City Manager Martin suggested continuing with the Women's Club issue before commenting on Mr. Poston's comments. Rebecca Startup, Startup's Catering, stated she faxed a letter to Council regarding this issue, and Council acknowledged receiving it. She indicated she understood the tension over the situation but not the lack of respect. She said that their business provides a service for the community and that her husband is always there, but was not present this last time. When the Sheriff's Department was previously called by their security guard it took an hour for an officer to arrive and yet the DJ was picked up instantly. City Council Minutes July 18, 2000 Page 8 Sam Davido, reiterated he did not want to shut the Startup's business down, he just wanted people to comply with a peaceable party. He did not want to be wakened up by a ruckus. Mayor Pro Tem Wilson stated all the blame is being placed on the Women's CIub and the Startups, who have complied with additional security. She has seen the guards out there, but doesn't know what can they do about what goes on in a public street after people have left the club. All of the disturbances are happening in the street. City Manager Martin said the caterer has the option of closing down or putting sufficient guards on duty to control the patrons the best they can. After the party is over, they can't do much. The situation is not getting any better and suggested either a final warning or termination of the Startup's business at the Women's Club. Council discussed the issue. Mayor Souder stated that Mr. Startup is running a business on the behalf of the Women's Club and does not have a business license as licenses are not issued in an R -3 area. Mr. Souder suggested reducing the hours to 10:00 p.m. and stated on July 1 he was a block and a half down the street and heard the noise and drove around the block twice and did not see any security guards outside. . Rebecca Startup stated they are licensed in another city where the food is prepared and brought in to the Women's Club here. City Manager Martin said when this issue first came up about 5 years ago, Council felt accommodating the Women's Club was the appropriate thing to do and the business license was waived. Originally the closing time was earlier, but Council subsequently approved a later time. Mr. Martin suggested imposing a 10:00 p.m. limit until the current bookings are exhausted and then determine what to do at that time. It was anticipated that the approximately 35 bookings would not be completed until April of next year. Council discussion followed. Mr. Martin recommended a fording that Mr. Startup's operations have, over the past several months, constituted a public nuisance for the following reasons: 1) permitting loud noises and drunkenness to exist in a residential neighborhood as a result of his parties, despite several warnings; 2) operating a business in a residential zone in violation of the Temple City Zoning Code; and 3) operating without a business license. Therefore, the proper abatement at this time with Mr. Startup's 35 bookings currently on his books is not to shut him down completely but instead to impose a 10:00 p.m. closing time on the remaining 35 bookings, with RSVP officers monitoring every Saturday night for report to the City Manager the following Monday, and Council review in three months for such additional action a's may be appropriate. Councilman Breazeal moved to approve the City Manager's recommendation, seconded by Councilman Brook and carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilman - Breazeal, Brook, Souder NOES: Councilman- Wilson ABSENT: Councilman- Gillanders John Veenstra, 9943 Bogue Street, business associate of Richard Poston, said Mr. Poston was doing an honest day's work and fell into a situation. In all his years as a DJ he has never been treated this way in any city. Mr. Veenstra felt this was an over - reaction of a contract department - the Sheriff's Department - and should come under review as any police department would. 1 1 1 1 1 City Council Minutes July 18, 2000 Page 9 There should be an internal investigation of the over - reaction of a certain officer seeing a black guy loading up his car. In answer to Councilman Breazeal's question, Mr. Veenstra admitted his comments were hearsay. He did not witness the incident. Mr. Veenstra said he spoke to the City Manager regarding the incident and was told that a liaison officer would look into the situation, but has not yet heard anything after 10 days. He did not feel the incident showed good human relations exercised by our police department. He also suggested Council look at a loading zone for the Women's Club as it is operating with limited parking and should have a loading area. Councilman Breazeal responded that it was the responsibility of the Women's Club to set aside a certain amount of parking for vendors, not a municipal responsibility. City Manager Martin stated, in answer to Mr. Poston's complaint, the matter has been investigated. The police report indicates a substantial altercation occurred between the police officer and Mr. Poston with improper language on Mr. Poston's part. Mr. Poston has been told he can file a citizen complaint and can appeal the impounding of his car. This matter is between Mr. Poston and the police department and is not a matter before City Council. The Council took no action. 9. NEW BUSINESS A. PUBLIC HEARING: LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT BLOCK GRANT #2000 -LB -VX -1238 PROPOSED USE OF FUNDS City Manager Martin stated this public hearing was scheduled for the review of proposed expenditures of the U.S. Department of Justice Local Law Enforcement Block Grant funds. As outlined in the staff' report, these funds are to be utilized for the youth resource deputy in accordance with the requirements of the grant. Mayor Souder opened the public hearing and invited all those wishing to speak to come forward. Hearing no requests to speak, either for or against this issue, the Mayor declared the public hearing closed. Councilman Breazeal approved the proposed purpose for expenditure of grant funds as outlined in the staff report, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Wilson and unanimously carried. 10.

COUNCIL ITEMS SEPARATE FROM THE CITY MANAGER'S REGULAR AGENDA A. COUNCILMAN BREAZEAL Referring to recent incidents in Live Oak Park, Councilman Breazeal inquired if a review of the park ordinances were in order.

Placer. Mr. Martin explained up to now it has been assumed that both the CUP and Negative Declaration are appealed together to City Council. With no objections, the update was received and filed. As it appeared uncertain there would be a quorum at the August 1, 2000 Council meeting, the procedure for approving warrants was discussed, with consensus for the City Manager to review and approve payment of bills for ratification by Council at the next meeting, when cancellation of a regular meeting occurs. 17.
