On motion by Mayor Pro Tern Berg, seconded by Councilmember Zeller, to approve all of
the above items on the Consent Calendar by one motion. All in favor, moi ion carried.
2. ACTION ITEMS:
a. Considered at this time was a Vehicle Abatement Hearing, pur;;uant to Section
8.20.150 of the Beaumont Municipal Code. A staff report was presented by Planning
Director Ernie Egger, a copy of which is on file in the City Clerk's Office.
On motion by Mayor Pro Tern Berg, seconded by Councilmer fiber Westcot to
approve staff s recommendation that the City Council deny the appe al of the order of
the Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Hearing Board to remove the four (4) vehicles
from 860 Wellwood Avenue. All in favor, motion carried.
b. Considered at this time was an Ordinance relating to Skateboard and Roller Skate use
on City owned property and certain private property. The staff report was presented
by Economic Development Director Dave Dillon, a copy of which is , )n file in the City
Clerk's Office.
Ctiy Attorney Aklufi informed the Council that in the Resolution a provision can be
added that the City reserves the right to post off limits by covering the sign with a
temporary cardboard.
The City's Insurance Agent, Bob Little of Little Insurance informer l the Council that
there are different types of liability. For example,when you have t sign stating that
you are opening a parking lot for skateboarding and something happens, they are
going to come back and say " was this parking lot made for this im.ended use." The
insurance company suggested rather than putting everything in wr.ting, to go ahead
and let them skateboard and have some other way of controlling; it. One of the
reasons that you do not see a lot of skateboard and roller skating rinks anymore is
because that liability has gotten so high. We don't want to tell you not to have
skateboarding and in -line skating, just be very careful that you don't have the
appearance that you are in the business.
Attorney Aklufi then explained for the Council that if we did nothing with the
Resolution then this Ordinance would accomplish what the gentlemf;n is talking about
because what it says is that you will designate areas and if you dot i't designate, then
its otherwise prohibited. Also, there is not anything on the books that says they can't
do that.
Mayor Leja opened the public hearing at 6:23 p.m., asking for proponents /opponents
from the audience wishing to speak.
3
George Berrach, 903 E. 14th Street; Beaumont,. addressed the City Council wanting
to know what would happen if a skater wears protective gear, but trips knocking his
teeth out on the curb?
Attorney Aklufi commented that no matter what you do there will be a big law suit.
Mr. Benach, continued speaking using an example whereby if the skateboard shoots
out from under the skater's feet and hits someone on the chin t zen there will be
another law suit.
Attorney Aklufi pointed out that the Ordinance would require signs being posted but
that no matter what you do you will always get sued. He also stated that without
the Resolution they would not be able to skateboard on the City Hall Parking Lot.
Mayor Leja responded by stating that without a Resolution and with gut an Ordinance
they can skateboard in the parking lot.
Pursuant to the City Attorney's request, Mayor Leja continued this matter to the
meeting of January 22, 1996.
C. Considered at this time was the Alcoholic Beverage License Review and Adoption.

Bogart Park Task Force, the Cherry Valley Planning and the Public Safety
Committee. Staff requests that two Councilmembers be placed on each of these
committees.
Mayor Leja's response to City Manager Kapanicas' request was that she wanted to
look at the committees a little closer asking the other Councilmemt ers if anyone had
a particular interest in serving on a certain committee and if so to Tease call her.
4
e. Considered at this time was the naming of a new Planning Commissioner to complete
the unexpired seat vacated by Councilmember Westcot. City Manager Alan

On motion by Mayor Pro Tern Berg to nominate Brian DeForge, based on Mr.
DeForge's acceptance, seconded by Mayor Leja to the Beaumont Planning

3. ACTION ITEMS/REPORTS:
a. The presentation by Linda Romero, pertaining to CDF Urban ForeAry Management
Program was continued to the special meeting of February 5, 1996.
b. Considered at this time was the continued public hearing from January 8, 1996
concerning an Ordinance relating to Skateboard and Roller Skate u., e on City -owned
property and certain private property. City Manager Alan Kapani ;as presented the
staff report, a copy of which is on file in the City Clerk's Office, noting he had
additional information from the insurance carrier and he then askeI Bob Little if he
would give an update of what the City's liability insurance carrier had 1 said concerning
this issue.
Bob Little, from Little Insurance Company, addressed the Council noting that
other cities that have done this have had very few claims if you follow the four things
recommended which are: Post proper and adequate signs as required by Health and
Safety Codes Section 25906, including a disclaimer on signs stating "use at own risk,"
regular daily site inspections for defects and debris and that it be documented and
maintained, that rules and regulations be enforced by law enforcement or appropriate
parks and recreation staff.
City Attorney Aklufi, addressed the Council noting he had added sol ne language. On
page 3, subsection f, he broadened the sentence to include "assuming the
responsibility for the safety of others as well." Also daily site inspections will be
dealt with in the resolution. Lastly, that the rules and regulations bf; enforced by law
enforcement and whether to use the police or the Park & Rec. Diarict. Since the
location of the designated area is in close proximity to the police dep rrtment, it would
appear that the officers beginning or at the end of their shift would : ust swing by and
take a look and make a note in their log. The resolution des: gnates the Civic
Community Parking Lot and provides a series of rules and regulal ions. Mr. Aklufi
added paragraph 2b of the resolution concerning temporary :losure for civic
functions. Also, paragraph 3 and 4 directly addresses the issues raised by the
insurance carrier. The City Manager is authorized to close the designated area if
corrections can't be promptly made as well as to cause the printing and posting of
official signs that would include rules 2a through j. Attorney Aklufi noted that he
envisions at least two signs for the parking lot one at each end and should include all
the rules. Also in keeping with the insurance company if Council chooses to adopt
the resolution, publication should be made not only initially, but :.rom time to time
in the newspaper of these rules and regulations to remind people th it their privileges
could be lost.
Mayor Leja opened the public hearing at 6:39 p.m., noting this was a continued public
hearing asking for proponents/opponents from the audience wishinE to speak. There
3
being none, she closed the public hearing at 6:40 p.m., turning the matter back to the
City Council for discussion.
Chief Smith felt there will be a short period of time when you have to get the
information concerning the rules and regulations out to everyone at d you might not
want to cite on the first occasion of a violation; however, repeat violators would be
cited. He noted that he didn't think the City incurs any specific liabili.,y if citations are
not written. If they are instructed to enforce this resolution, then certainly each shift
will make the appropriate checks. Chief Smith also pointed out it is important that
any public official who sees a violation to report it. It could be p ablic works, city
manager, etc.
Economic Development Director Dillon informed the Council t1 at the ones that
petitioned for the use of the parking lot did have input as to the hours which went into
the recommendation. The hours were 5:30 p.m., to 7:30 p.m., Tuesday through
Friday and 11:00 a.m., to 5:00 p.m., on Saturday and Sunday.
Attorney Aklufi noted that Council can instruct staff to bring to the Council a brief

C. Public hearing on Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application for 22nd
year and authorization for staff to file application with Riverside County Economic
Development Agency.
Considered at this time was the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
application for 22nd year and authorization for staff to file application with Riverside
County Economic Development Agency. The staff report was presented by
Economic Development Director Dave Dillon, a copy of which is on file in the City
Clerk's Office.
Mayor Leja noted that before the public hearing is opened th -,re was a request
given to her yesterday for some pool repairs: $7,000 for a heater fcr the pool; $5,500
to upgrade the plumbing in the building; $15,000 for a cover for 1 he winter months;
and $10,000 to remodel the inside of the office and bathroom to make them more
conducive to the public attending the facility. She requested t:iat these items be
considered tonight and then opened the public hearing at 6:15 p.m., asking for
proponents /opponents from the audience wishing to speak.
Chris Ogawa, Executive Director, to Alternatives to Domestic Violence, P. O.
Box 910, Riverside, addressed the Council stating they were verb pleased that they
are being recommended for the same amount that they received last year, but hoped
that in the future years Council will consider giving a little more. c he noted that they
would like to find a one day a week site in the Banning/Beaumont area to see if they
can increase services.
Mayor Leja stated that in this building we can always find a room for one day a
week. City Manager Kapanicas also noted that one of the plan:, we have with the
refurbishing of the Civic Center is the area that has been used as transitional offices
which will be made available to a lot of the different people from ether agencies that
need to meet in Beaumont. The idea would be to set up one of the rooms as a
conference room and then the other room would have an extra de: k and lockable file
cabinets so that people can hold either desk time or actually use : t for meetings.
Mayor Leja noted that the day of the week should be reserved on the calendar.
Mayor Leja closed the public hearing at 6:21 p.m., turning the matter back to the City
Council. She also noted that the request from the high school to put walks around
4
the school, several years ago we approved money to put walks aroiind Wellwood and
wanted to know when this would happen..
Public Works Director Deepak Moorjani, informed the Council that $17,000 was
received from CDBG last year and noted that walks would be put in at Wellwood
before this fiscal year is out.
Mayor Pro Tern Berg then asked where the high school want -.d the walks with
Economic Development Director Dillon stating they would like ,:hem on both sides
of Cougar where there are no sidewalks, however, the County of Riverside controls
the north -half of Cougar, east of Sunnyslope so this wouldn't fall under our area of
jurisdiction. So the walks as we envision it would be from Palm Avenue on the
southside of Cougar. Mayor Pro Tern Berg also asked about the extension of the
bikeway and if this could be incorporated into the plan.
The conversation went back to the pool and it was noted that the F ool did need some
maintenance. The women's restroom was a total disaster and skylights and
ventilation is needed to let the sun in. Economic Development D: rector commented
that what they would recommend is to defer the Rangel Park rests oom improvement
and replace it with the improvement of the swimming pool restroc m. It was felt that
because there was a question of compliance at the pool, as well as benefitting more
people, this would be the way to go. Economic Development Director Dillon stated
he would make this change.
Councilman Westcot asked what had been resolved with the issue of sidewalks from
Palm to the high school with Economic Development Director Dillon stating that
basically rather than showing the improvement going in the Southern California
Edison easement, shifting those dollars up to Cougar Way would be more beneficial
since that is where they are actually walking right now. He noted that if Rangel Park
restroom is eliminated and the high school pedestrian walks, 1 his would free up
$30,000 for the pool. Public Works Director Moodani noted that the available funds
was going to be about $100,000 and what can be done is to tace money from the
Rangel Park restroom renovation and the Beaumont Unified Schoo: District and apply
it to the most important parts of the swimming pool renovation anc also cut down the
improvements in the Community Center to make up for what gets pared down in the
grant. Mayor Leja noted that the Community Center renovation should not be cut
back since this has more value as a whole to the community than the pool renovations
do. Mr. Moodani stated that Mr. Dillon suggested that whatever- funds we're short
of out of the grant, we will work with the capital improvement plan and also get the
pool brought up to compliance.
On motion by Mayor Pro Tern Berg, seconded by Councilman Zeller to approve the
22nd Year (1996 -97) Supplemental Agreement with Riverside C )unty EDA for use
5
of CDBG Funds as amended and to authorize staff to file application as presented.

Considered at this time was the Community Development BlocL Grant (CDBG)
application for 22nd year and authorization for staff to file application with Riverside
County Economic Development Agency. The staff report was presented by
Economic Development Director Dave Dillon, a copy of which is on file in the City
Clerk's Office.
Mayor Leja noted that before the public hearing is opened the -e was a request
given to her yesterday for some pool repairs: $7,000 for a heater for the pool; $5,500
to upgrade the plumbing in the building; $15,000 for a cover for tLe winter months;
and $10,000 to remodel the inside of the office and bathroom to make them more
conducive to the public attending the facility. She requested th it these items be
considered tonight and then opened the public hearing at 6:15 p.m., asking for
proponents /opponents from the audience wishing to speak.
Chris Ogawa, Executive Director, to Alternatives to Domestic: Violence, P. O.
Box 910, Riverside, addressed the Council stating they were very pleased that they
are being recommended for the same amount that they received la,, t year, but hoped
that in the future years Council will consider giving a little more. Site noted that they
would like to find a one day a week site in the Banning Beaumont area to see if they
can increase services.
Mayor Leja stated that in this building we can always find a room for one day a
week. City Manager Kapanicas also noted that one of the plans we have with the
refurbishing of the Civic Center is the area that has been used as transitional offices
which will be made available to a lot of the different people from other agencies that
need to meet in Beaumont. The idea would be to set up one of the rooms as a
conference room and then the other room would have an extra desL and lockable file
cabinets so that people can hold either desk time or actually use it for meetings.
Mayor Leja noted that the day of the week should be reserved on the calendar.
Mayor Leja closed the public hearing at 6:21 p.m., turning the matte r back to the City
Council. She also noted that the request from the high school to put walks around
4
the school, several years ago we approved money to put walks around Wellwood and
wanted to know when this would happen..
Public Works Director Deepak Moorjani, informed the Council that $17,000 was
received from CDBG last year and noted that walks would be put in at Wellwood
before this fiscal year is out.
Mayor Pro Tern Berg then asked where the high school wanted the walks with
Economic Development Director Dillon stating they would like them on both sides
of Cougar where there are no sidewalks, however, the County of Riverside controls
the north -half of Cougar, east of Sunnyslope so this wouldn't fall under our area of
jurisdiction. So the walks as we envision it would be from Palm Avenue on the
southside of Cougar. Mayor Pro Tern Berg also asked about the extension of the
bikeway and if this could be incorporated into the plan.
The conversation went back to the pool and it was noted that the pool did need some
maintenance. The women's restroom was a total disaster and skylights and
ventilation is needed to let the sun in. Economic Development Director commented
that what they would recommend is to defer the Rangel Park restroom improvement
and replace it with the improvement of the swimming pool restroorri.. It was felt that
because there was a question of compliance at the pool, as well as benefitting more
people, this would be the way to go. Economic Development Director Dillon stated
he would make this change.
Councilman Westcot asked what had been resolved with the issue of sidewalks from
Palm to the high school with Economic Development Director Dillon stating that
basically rather than showing the improvement going in the Southern California
Edison easement, shifting those dollars up to Cougar Way would be more beneficial
since that is where they are actually walking right now. He noted that if Rangel Park
restroom is eliminated and the high school pedestrian walks, thiis would free up
$30,000 for the pool. Public Works Director Moorjani noted that the available funds
was going to be about $100,000 and what can be done is to take money from the
Rangel Park restroom renovation and the Beaumont Unified School District and apply
it to the most important parts of the swimming pool renovation and also cut down the
improvements in the Community Center to make up for what gets pared down in the
grant. Mayor Leja noted that the Community Center renovation should not be cut
back since this has more value as a whole to the community than the pool renovations
do. Mr. Moorjani stated that Mr. Dillon suggested that whatever flunds we're short
of out of the grant, we will work with the capital improvement plan and also get the
pool brought up to compliance.
On motion by Mayor Pro Tern Berg, seconded by Councilman Zeller to approve the
22nd Year (1996 -97) Supplemental Agreement with Riverside County EDA for use
5
of CDBG Funds as amended and to authorize staff to file application as presented.
All in favor, motion carried with a vote of 5 -0.

Kapanicas presented the staff report, a copy of which is on file it. the City Clerk's
Office.
Nancy Howe, from National Revenue Corporation, addressed the Council giving

the transient occupancy tax where the owner is no longer in possession of the hotel
as well as those sewer and refuse delinquent accounts who nc longer own the
property.

Pursuant to Councilman Parrott's question as to the cost, City Manager Kapanicas
responded by stating the way this fee is set up with National, is the Ci :y will give them
$20.00 per account. If they are unable to collect within the first 3 months, the City
would be allowed to substitute accounts in and accounts substituted out will go on
a contingency basis. This is another way to increase the revenue at a minimual cost.
Ms. Howe explained that if there is litigation, they have legal counsf l throughout the
United States who are collection specialists, plus they have a million dollar insurance
liability policy for the City's protection. They would advance all the fees so there
would be no extra cost, it would be on a contingent basis of 50/50. If they go to
court and lose, it would be out of their pocket not the City's.

Bill Jenkins, 1302 E. 6th St., representing the Optimist Club addressed the
Council commenting that he does not want Market Day to be held at night. Also,
feels it should start sometime after the Cherry Festival. Further, it w is his feeling that
the City should get 50 percent of the profits and it be placed in a special account to
be used for upgrading the infrastructure in that area.
Mike Martin, from Edison, spoke to Council informing them they need to evaluate
what the City wants to do and ask themselves if it is going to be cast effective. Mr.
Martin recommended putting in a meter panel and a couple of meter pedestals and
then have extension cords like a fair type thing as opposed to pl.xgs on individual

fields, and renting out facilities. He said their discussion consisted of possible
annexation of the Park to the City of Beaumont and they were op(!n to this idea.
Mayor Leja questioned the charge for rental of the facilities by the City vs. the charge
the Park & Recreation District had. She noted that the City had o make sure that
services are being provided for the community at a very affordable i -ate. Further, the
goal is to provide services for the whole community jointly with the Park District,
with the most important thing being that it is cost effective for the community in a
very positive affordable way.
Mayor Leja went on stating that the City should go ahead and work in identifying the
potential problems and making sure that a mission statement be generated from this
City Council so the Board of the Park District knows what the Cii y Council wishes
to achieve. At that time, the Council will meet with the Park District in a joint type

document as well.

applicant in applying for an appropriate permit. The City can however, evaluate it
environmentally and if there are some substantial or less than substantial, grave or less
than grave impacts on the environment, then that needs to be included in the

At this point after the entire process has been gone through and due process has been

it would be considered completely redundant with what the AQMD does and is
charged to do and what the taxpayers pay AQMD to do. This use has also just
recently received clearance from the County Health Department a; well.
Attorney Wysocki noted that if AQMD passes Mr. Bonjean's busin -Iss, the City does
not have a right to turn down his application based upon our analy sis that somehow
there is this huge controversy about the fumes and odors when it his been passed by
the regulatory agency that has the obligation to make sure he is doin €; it right. AQMD
has the power to shut him down if he violates any of the operational standards of
5
AQMD.
