one. Also, there were statements made in the paper that Beaumont's involvement was
because they wanted to take over Cherry Valley and this is totally not true. The idea
is to get water reclamation up into Bogart Park and then somehow the recreational
possibilities came out of this discussion. Councilmember Berg felt it was not
acceptable for Bogart Park to only be open on the week -ends and to raise their fees.
He felt that if Beaumont, Banning and Cherry Valley would work together by looking
at the whole picture they would find a way to get water reclamation into Bogart
Park, thereby having recreational facilities and then the park could be opened for all
to use. Mayor Leja noted that she would be in favor of this project as long as the
Parks & Recreation District is included since they have an important role.

report and direct staff to proceed in working with the Water District as well as the

Medina's Lawn Service for a monthly fee of $1,450.00 and authorize the City
Manager to execute the contract with non - substantive changes recommended by the
Director of Public Works, subject to the City Attorney's approval. 1 abstention, 3

rules pertaining to signs and should have the common courtesy to the community to clean these
poles up.
Mayor Leja noted that this should be brought to Mr. Martin's attention at Edison Company to see
if the utility company can do anything.
Marvin Eaves, Fire Chief for the City of Beaumont, wanted to personally thank the Mayor, Chief
of Police and City Manager for their support during the major fire incident in the Cherry Valley area.

Penal Code, that prohibits posting signs on utility poles. Unfortunately, all they can do is try and
educate people that it is not an aesthetic thing with them, it is a safety issue for linemen that climb
the poles.

There are now two separate divisions for San Bernardino and for Riverside County.
Another resolution was passed with a plan to lobby the State so that more sales tax
revenues will actually be coming back to the Cities. A resolution passed with regards

locations of those facilities. Also, there was another resolution approved regarding

meeting as a parent and as President of the Kiwanis Club. He explained that each parent that signs
his child up in baseball pays a certain amount of money. As President of Kiwanis Club, they as well
as other businesses donate money. His concern is that you cannot give money and take it off of
your taxes as a contribution to a non- profit organization when that organization is involved in
political matters. Furthermore, he was upset as a parent that the campaign literature was being sent
to kids involved in youth baseball when it had nothing to do with baseball. He noted that Mr. Fox
knew you could not do this but he went ahead anyway. Mr. Berg felt he was treated very badly.
An unidentified speaker noted they contacted Sacramento twice on this matter and there was no
violation of law, just a misunderstanding on the mailing label. /et

Dear Mayor Leja:
On September 21, 1995 my wife and I attended a Beaumont Youth Baseball
meeting at the Grange. Shortly after Cathy Wagoner called the meeting to
order, Councilman Berg initiated a vicious verbal attack against Beaumont
Youth Baseball for its part in including fliers with a Beaumont Youth
Baseball mailing which Mr. Berg seemed to think endorsed Jeffrey Fox for
city council. Cathy Wagoner tried to explain why she allowed this to
happen, but Councilman Berg did not want to hear her explanation. He
demanded a public apology. Mrs. Wagoner apologized for any
misunderstanding at that time. Councilman Berg was not satisfied with
this apology, and he demanded a more public apology. Mrs. Wagoner
apologized again, and stated that was as far as she would go. Councilman
Berg continued his verbal attack, and at that time he said that Kiwanis
was not happy with Beaumont Youth Baseball, and that they would have a
hard time supporting or sponsoring Beaumont Youth Baseball if they were
politically involved. When asked who in Kiwanis was upset Councilman
Berg became defensive and said that as President of Kiwanis he had the
right to speak for them.
What was supposed to be a meeting to elect a new board for Beaumont
Youth Baseball turned into a circus for Councilman Berg. Due to this
inappropriate disruption some parents walked out of the meeting. One
child who was there with his mother also heard Councilman Berg's attack
on Cathy Wagoner. I am sure that this display of ill temper and bad
manners on the part of Councilman Berg had a very negative effect on this
child's confidence in his community leaders.

property failed, therefore, staff would like to have the City Council's authority to

is 3 to 5 thousand dollars and with Council's permission to proceed, staff will solicit
bids that will be the most cost effective. Reimbursement of the cost to the city
general fund on this type of activity would be from the redevelopment fund that has

MEMORANDUM
DATE : June 26, 1995
TO : Mr. Ernest A. Egger, AICP, REA
FROM : Mr. Jeff Lodder
RE: : Beaumont Circulation Plan- Hovchild
Dear Ernie,
As you and I discussed some time ago, I had great concerns about
the Beaumont General Circulation Plan that is now being processed.
My concern was the Ultimate R/W requirements for Highland
Springs Ave. Your May 17th, 1995 letter regarding this concern
gave me a certain degree of comfort to the extent that the R /W's
being recommended by your consultants would be evaluated on the
basis of need and the cross sections would be modified in case
deemed appropriate. Your letter addresses and confirms this
position.
Ernie, may I ask that my May 9, 1995 and your May 17, 1995 letter
be made a part of the record at tonight's council meeting. This
certainly would be greatly appreciated. I could ask the council to
do so myself, but it would require me to travel to Beaumont and
Dave Dillon, when I happen to talk to him about another matter,
suggested that I communicate with you (and him) to work
something out to avoid having to travel all the way down.
Thank you very much for your help, assistance and understanding.

Attention: Mr. Ernest A. Egger, AICP, REA, Director of Planning
Dear Mr. Egger,
First of ail, thank you very much for sending me the City's General Plan
Program- Circulation Element Update inclusive of the B.A.T.M.A.N. Final
Report.
As I pointed out Friday, May Sth., the City's proposed revision to the
Circulation Element came to my attention as a surprise due to the fact
that we were never notified of such a pending change nor of the May 2nd.
Public Hearing, as conducted by the Planning Commission.
Since we are not a " local " developer, it is difficult to be aware of
scheduled hearings unless specifically notified of such hearings and it
was for that reason, that I was unaware of the May 2nd. Public Hearing
relative to the Circulation Element Update. I do understand that the
meeting had been "posted" on the City's bulletin board in the hallway.
I was pleased to hear yesterday, during a conversation with you at City
Hall, that NO FINAL. decisions have been made nor that the City Council has
acted upon this matter. I understand from you, that the proposed X
sections, for Highland Springs Avenue, are not " cast in concrete " but
subject to review and final determination by you and your staff.
Our concerns regarding this matter are:
..TUN—ZG -9S MON 1 :2 7 SYo HOti+ CH I LD I NC _
Z
1) The fact that the report recommends an 110 feet wide " Augmented
Major Highway " Right of Way section for Highland Springs Avenue
fronting our property. Not only will this X section require additional
Right of Way over and above our approved Specific Plan approved Right
of Way but, it also requires a "painted" median instead of a
"landscaped" one.
2) It appears that approximately 30 feet of ADDITIONAL Right of Way
will also be required, FROM the Hovchild property, because of
anticipated traffic demands generated by future developments located
Southerly of our property i.e. primarily the Lockheed property and the fact
that the Sun Lakes Development will be unable to dedicate additional
Rights of Way because they have fully developed " their side " of
Highland Springs Avenue for most of the way.
3) The " painted median " is NOT a good idea. The Sun Lakes Development
started the landscaped median concept, for that section of Highlands
Springs Avenue, fronting their commercial development and to their main
project entrance at Sun Lakes Boulevard and it had always been assumed
that a fully landscaped median concept would be continued Southerly,
along Highland Springs Avenue, in order to enhance and beautify such road
project. As a matter of fact, I worked with the previous City Manager
(Bounds) and recommended that the City implement, in conjunction with
the City of Banning and Sun Lakes Development, such a median strip.
Mr. Egger, may I please ask that you keep me informed regarding matters
that could or would greatly impact our property and /or development
especially in light of the fact that our offices are "out of town" and we
are therefore not always aware of the meeting notices that are posted on
the board. N
Also, what is
Mr. Egger, tha

Subject: Beaumont General Plan Circulation Element
Dear Geoff
P . 0 5
Thank you for your letter of May 9 regarding the above matter. The purpose of my letter is to
clarify several of the points raised in your letter.
The Circulation Element was heard by the Planning Commission on May 2, I995, with notice
having been provided in accordance with State law and local ordinance, through posting in three
public locations and through advertisement in a newspaper of General Circulation, the Community
Advisor. Similar notice is being provided for the consideration of this matter by the City Council
on June 26, at 6:00 p.m.
As I indicated by telephone, the Circulation Element is supported by technical studies which
include details such as roadway cross sections. These details are not formally being adopted and
are subject to modification, In fact, we expect to always maintain the ability to address road
design matters flexibly as long as transportation capacity is maintained. Constriction of a
landscape median versus a painted median, for example, will be a design issue to be addressed on
a case -by -case basis.
With respect to right -of -way issues, the capacity of Highland Springs Avenue and many other
local thorough fares will need to be increased to facilitate the area's build out. Furthermore,
additional adjustments may be necessary as the General Plan is updated from time -to -time and as
your own plans are refined at a development level of detail. What I am trying to point out is that
none of these matters are fixed in time until development is actually on the doorstep.
Additionally, we will not seek the ultimate right -of -way from one only side of Highland Springs as
we expect to maintain the existing centerline, both from a perspective of fairness as well as for
JUN-- 2G--95 MON 1 2 : Se HOVCH I LD INC . P . 06
logistical boundary considerations between Beaumont and Banning.
Geoff, since the time your Specific Plan was approved in 1990 a great deal has changed and
much more is known about future development plans in the vicinity. It is likely that more changes
will occur before your property is developed and we will need to respond to prevailing conditions
when you are ready to proceed. As always, we will continue to do our best to assist you in
anyway we can as we move forward and to notify you of pending issues.
Please feel free to contact me is you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,

MINUTES OF
BEAUMONT CITY COUNCIL
HELD JUNE 12, 1995
A regular meeting of the Beaumont City Council was called to
order by mayor Leja at 6 :07 p.m., in the City Council Chambers.
ROLL CALL: Present: mayor Leja, mayor Pro Tem Parrott, Council -
member Berg, with Councilmember Russo
arriving at 6:40 p.m.
Absent: Councilmember Brey.
The invocation was given by Councilmember Berg who also led the
Pledge of Allegiance.
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE AGENDA None.
ORAL /WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS:
Mr. Jack Istik, 22607 E. Dry Creek Rd., Diamond Bar, addressed
the City Council requesting Council to direct staff to issue a
permit for the relocation of the proposed garage to be built at
1428 Canyon Pine Rd. or refer the matter back to the Planning
Commission.
Planning Director Egger presented some background pertaining to
this issue noting that the proposed building is a 30' x 20' garage
to house a boat with a height of about 141. It would be 15' from
the rear property line which adjoins Palm Avenue and 5' from the
southerly side property line which adjoins Mr. Istik's property.
Mr. Egger noted that the policy has been that if an individual
comes in wanting to build an accessory building which is
permitted by the zoning code and meets the minimum setback
requirements, a permit is issued if in compliance with the
zoning ordinance. No permit has been issued in this case since
things are on hold pending the outcome of tonight's meeting.
Mr. Robert Istik, 1426 Canyon Pine Rd., Beaumont, addressed the
City Council asking them to use their discretionary land use
right in this case since City staff has stated that they will
issue permits for structures as long as minimum code setbacks
are met. He is concerned with the noise, aesthetics, the view
shed and especially concerned with the negative impact on property
values from this unusually large accessory building when
alternative locations on the property are available. Mr. Istik
then submitted a petition (see attachment).
Mr. Scott Steele, 1428 Canyon Pine Rd., Beaumont, addressed the
City Council stating he also had a petition that the neighbors had
signed. After Mr. Steele explained the situation to the neighbors
they signed his petition stating they were in agreement with him
building the garage.

presented the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the
City Clerk's office.
Ms. Donna Johnson Falsey, 850 Wellwood, Beaumont, addressed
the City Council stating she did not know anything about her
property because she has been mentally ill for the last 3
years; however, she is no longer under her doctor's care and
moved to this area. Also, when she moved here she found her
property completely destroyed. It started not from the
sinking of the property from rain, but from the alley in the
back creating a river which flowed down into the back of her
property running under the house and out to the side. The
house is all she has left.
Kent Hall, Building Inspector, informed the City Council that
he was not aware of any flooding to the property coming from
the alley. Someone has however opened up the sewer drain to
make a drain for the water that is in the back yard. He
further informed the City Council that this place has been a
problem for four years and the City has not had any success
with the property owner in getting the place cleaned up.
Ms. Falsey, in response to mayor Leja's question as to whom
had been taking care of the property, stated that the
neighbors down the street were taking care of it but she
learned they were stealing money from her. Pursuant to the
fire department and the building inspector the renters moved
out of the house at which time the house was locked up and
secured. At this time there was no trash in the back.
Sgt. John Acosta, informed the City Council that the Police
Department had been to this location several times. He
noted there were holes in the floor, no windows and abandon
cars in the back. Arcnet at one time did serve a search
warrant at this location.
Mr. Falsey, stated that four years ago they fixed the house up
but the renters they had did not take care of it.

be a public nuisance and directing the owner of record to

notice hereof, seconded by mayor Pro Tem Parrott and also have
the City manager direct the Building Inspector to post the
house as uninhabitable.
Attorney Aklufi explained that as early as April 1994, a
series of letters were sent to Ms. Falsey but there was no
response. Also, it is appropriate for the Council to ask
staff to report back within a reasonable time before the
action called for in the recommendation is taken to see if any
progress is being made.
Mayor Leja felt that City Council should work in assisting
this family based on Ms. Falsey's medical condition. Also,
City Council should be participating as well in assisting
the County Housing Authority to find another location that
is habitable.
Councilmember Berg then amended his motion to include that
this matter be brought back before the City Council with a
report from staff at the next meeting as to what compliance
has been done for possible reconsideration or assistance in

the City Council asking that the Council give him an
opportunity to provide a structural report in a thirty day
period.
Attorney Aklufi noted that Council modify the resolution to
allow for additional time before enforcement actually begins.
Also, Council can always take further action in the future and
the applicant can always petition the Council for even more
time if it is justified.
On motion by Councilmember Berg, seconded by mayor Pro Tem
Parrott to adopt Resolution No. 1995 -30, declaring the
structure located at 980 East Sixth Street to be a public
nuisance and directing the owner of record to abate the
subject condition within 90 days instead of 30 days after

decide at the public hearing as well as what the budget might
be.

with the following roll call vote:

5. Considered at this time was the proposed Chamber of Commerce
Market Day Agreement with the Chamber of Commerce. Planning
Director Egger presented the staff report, a copy of which is
on file in the City Clerk's office. Discussion was had by the
Council with Councilmember Russo commenting that he felt the
original concept was a better location and there would be more
conflicts if Orange Street is used. Also, if held down at 5th
Street, it would help generate some interests in the
businesses in helping to stimulate traffic and activity on
that end of 6th Street. He also would like to have the
Streetfaire's location tied into the agreement with the
Chamber. Councilmember Brey also noted that he was against
having the Streetfaire in the parking lot or on Orange Street.
Also, it was his understanding that the money the City
generated from the Streetfaire would be used to redue the
lighting, curb /gutter and sidewalks in the area on 5th Street.
Greg Barker, representative for the Chamber of Commerce,
addressed the City Council stating that his concern of the
location of having a market day event on 5th Street was the
noise level - would not be a peaceful event next to the
freeway. He noted that any Streetfaire is held in the middle
of town and the reason being is to attract people that are
coming through. Feels that a Streetfaire held on 5th Street
would not be a successful event.
Councilmember Berg then asked if the concept could be approved
and then bought back to the Council for the location. He
then made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Brey to
APPROVE the agreement, AUTHORIZE the mayor to execute and that
the final location be brought back before the City Council as
soon as the issues discussed have been determined. Motion
carried with the following roll call vote:
AYES: mayor Pro Tem Parrott, Councilmembers Berg, and Brey.
NOES: Councilmember Russo.
ABSTAIN: None.
ABSENT: mayor Leja.
At this time Alan Kapanicas, Acting Secretary, informed the
City Council he had a request to speak from a Ernest Gonzales.
Ernest Gonzales, 1241 Michigan Avenue, Beaumont, addressed the
Council distributing a couple of papers he wanted the Council
-3-
City Council minutes - may B, 1995
to look at. He informed the Council that his reason for
coming before them was because he was having difficulty with
the City in trying to get a business license for a 911
Emergency Towing. He stated the Planning Department told him
that there was no access to his property; however, he has been
using the alleyway and Walnut Street to get to his property
since 1970.
Planning Director Egger informed the City Council that
initially Mr. Gonzales approached the City about operating a
towing service from his residence. He applied for a home
occupation permit which the City did not approve because it
was considered to be inappropriate to operate a tow truck
from a residence, since it is not in compliance with the
standards of the City's home occupation provisions. Further,
Mr. Gonzales subsequently came in with a verbal proposal to
locate the towing service from a piece of property that his
father owns and it was at this point that there was a question
as to whether or not the parcel had legal access since the
streets have been abandoned and no longer exist. The
Planning Department spent quite a bit of time looking at Mr.
Gonzales' deed and materials to try and determine whether or
not his parcel did in fact have legal access. Based on the
information Mr. Gonzales was able to produce, the City was not
able to make a determination one way or another. It appeared
that the only legal access to the property would be by an
easement having been granted by an adjoining property owner -
the deed produced did not indicate an easement. Mr. Egger
went on stating that he suggested to Mr. Gonzales that he
contact a title company since the records at City Hall were
not sufficient to make a determination. His property really
needed to have a title search. In the event access could be
secured to the property to operate a towing service an
approved plot plan would be needed. Mr. Egger noted that an
administrative plot plan had been approved for Mr. Gonzales to
operate the towing serviced from Cherry Automotive over on 6th
Street.
Attorney Aklufi pointed out that Mr. Gonzales had sued the
City and there is a court date of June 12, 1995 seeking
damages in the amount of $5000. Mr. Aklufi also noted that if
Mr. Gonzales cares to wait until the conclusion of the
meeting he and Mr. Egger can meet with him and outline the
steps he needs to follow for the City to be able to assist him
in getting access to his property.
Mayor Pro Tem Parrott then recessed the regular City Council
meeting to the Redevelopment agency meeting at 6:45 p.m.
After the Redevelopment Agency meeting mayor Pro Tem Parrott
reconvened the regular City Council meeting and then ADJOURNED
the meeting at 7:00 p.m.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 1995
ORAL /WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
VERBATIM TRANSCRIPTION
Brent Hardtke: 1451 E. 6th Street, Beaumont, California,
representing Concerned Citizens of Beaumont. The
Concerned Citizens of Beaumont are heartsick to see
our worse fears coming to past. Time after time we
have warned you that the streets of Beaumont are
not safely covered by - an understaffed, overworked
police department. You refuse to see the constant
scheduling of two officers - not three. Time after
time you have believed Pat Smith's statements that
every shift has three officers. Time after time
there has been only two, an unforgiveable
deception. The recent breakout incident should
alert you here were two officers, one of them a
reserve and no supervisor because we are short on
both patrol cops and supervisors. This is an
example of the chief's untruthfulness to you. It
is extremely important to consider that the reserve
officer was preparing to take a prisoner to Banning
for booking which would have left Beaumont with one
officer to deal with all calls, including the armed
man or any other dangerous assignment alone. The
Record Gazette was incorrect in stating a third
officer was scheduled to begin his shift within a
few minutes for duty in a short time. An officer
and another reserve was scheduled to be in at noon
two hours later which is approximately when they
did arrive. There were two officers only as per
schedule for twelve hours from midnight to noon.
This should cause you to wonder how many times we
have given you correct information and Pat Smith
has been lying. How much information he has given
you or us or the newspaper has been false. It
doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out.
Two sergeants are left, one is in detectives, one
is in the chief's chair. There are three corporals
but there are four shift with another detective and
an Arcnet officer, that leaves eight patrol
officers including the corporals and reserves.
That is why the two officers on duty were reserve
and an officer without a trained supervisor. All I
had to do was count the cards gentlemen. Wake up
before it is too late, your officer's lives are in
danger. We are all in danger. Next time the
damage may not be so easy to fix.
Back in November I asked how much it had cost the
City for the employees that had left in that year.
I'm still waiting. It was given to Ms. Keller,
then it was given to Mr. Smith and then I received
a phone call from the accountant that he had
started in February, I'm still waiting patiently.
Verbatim Transci-ption, Oral /Written Com. Mteting 2/27/95
Brent Hardtke: I just don't want you to think that I had
( con't) forgotten about it. I'm still waiting for our
questions on the Pillar matter and the $23,000
paid out to settlements. Thank you.
Mayor Leja: Mr. Hardtke can I ask a question? What is your
access to knowing the particular schedules of
police officers?
Brent Hardtke: There are many friends in the City that are
members of the Concerned Citizens of Beaumont. I
listen to a scanner. I can hear who is on the
radio.
Mayor Leja: So you have the knowledge of knowing which police
officers are scheduled for which duty?
Brent Hardtke: Am I wrong? I may (inaudible)
Mayor Leja: I'm just, I'm just curious about that because I
have concern for officer's safety when there
seems to be an understanding of scheduling whether
its truthful or not of protecting them as well, so
I was just curious from what your access to that
information of their actual scheduling would be.
Brent Hardtke: mostly my scanner.
Mayor Leja: I assume that you are also going to the County of
Riverside into other cities that are neighboring
which have fewer patrol officers per thousand than
we do.
Brent Hardtke: I believe in taking care of where I live first.
(inaudible)
Mayor Leja: It all spills over sir, but I think that is
important to know as well but thank you.
Atty Aklufi: madam mayor - -
Mayor Leja: Yes sir.
Atty Aklufi: I suggest that if there are written comments
that the gentleman has that he submit them to the
clerk.
Mayor Leja: Mr. Hardtke -
Brent Hardtke: I haven't gotten any answers from the last written
comments that I turned in last November, what good
does it do me.
Atty Aklufi: I would suggest that we ask the gentleman to leave
his written comments with the clerk -
Mayor Leja: It is so requested.
