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.

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.

The staff report was presented by Economic Development Director Dave Dillon, a copy of which is on file in the City Clerk's Office.

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.

Mr. Dillon `s response was that he did not think there had been a precise improvement plan done for Beaumont Avenue and is not aware of this configL ration.

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.
