Services as Administrator. ~'C~ b A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SUBMITTAL OF APPLICATIONS FOR CHILD CARE DAY FACILI- TY LICENSES TO THE CALIFORNIA DEPART- MENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES AND DESIGNAT- ING THE DIRECTOR OF RECREATION AND COMMUNITY SERVICES, BARRY NAGEL, AS ADMINISTRATOR Finance Director Margolis related: the financial report had been compiled in-house on the overall financial picture of the City: contents of the auditors's report and management letter; financial statistics; fund equity of the City shows resources of a $107 million net worth, with the General Fund only accounting for 10%; City is essentially a $65 million corporation; 3/4 of the income comes from tax revenue; over 50% of the General Fund goes to public safety; even with cutbacks during the year to adjust for the decline in revenue, there was a net gain of $423,000 at the end of last year; staff con- curred with the auditor's recommendation and had implemented recommendations from the previous year. Councilman Drago stated it was a fine report, but required further study when the Council dealt with the future budget and set priorities. City Manager Wohlenberg stated that the 2/2/94 meeting would deal with the budget. Councilman Yee asked that the Auditor be present at the 2/2/94 meeting to answer questions. M/S Drago/Yee - To accept Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for Fiscal Year ending 6/30/93 and 1993 Report to City Council prepared by auditors. Carried by unanimous voice vote. Councilman Drago asked if the School District was currently doing something for child care in this City. Director of Parks, Recreation & Community Ser- vices Nagel stated the District has a child care cen- ter, focusing on pre-school children, and three after- school programs at Buri Buri, Juniper Serra and Sunshine Gardens Schools that the District funds, staffs and has complete control over. Councilman Drago questioned if the City paid the School district to occupy the schools for its child- care centers. Director of Parks, Recreation & Community Ser- vices Nagel replied, not at this point, although the joint powers agreement is up for negotiations and there have been indications that perhaps the City would pay for utility costs or for the classrooms 1/12/94 Page 3 A~ENDA ACTION TAKEN : 6.

Councilman Drago stated he heard there had been some problems because of the different work sched- ules, days off, teachers' conferences and, when he looked at the locations, it seemed a natural that the District would assume the responsibility of the child care centers in this City. He stated that his biggest gripe with government was the overlapping and, if both agencies are in the childcare business, one of them should get out. He stated that Council should go ahead with the resolution and have the School Liaison Committee pursue this duplication of services which seems to be a natural for the School District because we are occupying the schools. M/S Drago/Penna - To adopt the Resolution. RESOLUTION NO. 3-94 Carried by unanimous voice vote. Director of Parks, Recreation & Community Ser- vices Nagel stated that preliminary discussions at the staff level had indicated the District was willing to either allow the City to continue operating at the four locations or the District take it over. Mayor Fernekes directed the City Manager to put the item on the agenda of the next liaison meeting. Councilman Yee asked where the City's programs were located and what their activities were. Director of Parks, Recreation & Community Ser- vices Nagel related: two pre-school programs at Siebecker and Westborough Building; an elderly program at Magnolia; school age children at Martin, Ponderosa, Spruce and Monte Verde Schools; the City was now mandated by the State to license the childcare programs. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS City Manager Wohlenberg stated this was the cul- mination of a pretty significant project, that was set out many months ago to achieve expansion of parks and open space in this community by acquiring some of the surplus sites from the School District. He 1/12/94 Page 4 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS Resolution - Continued. A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF THE REAL PROPERTY PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT FOR THE SURPLUS SCHOOL PROPERTY - ALTA LOMA, AVALON AND EL RANCHO SCHOOL SITES A RESOLUTION APPROVING BUDGET AMENDMENT NO. 94-1 TO THE 1993-1994 OPERATING BUDGET ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS stated there had been negotiations with the District and direction had been given in Closed Session to authorize this acquisition. Assistant City Manager Martel related: negotiations had been held for the better part of the last year with the District; specific properties the Council was interested in were identified; the properties consist of the Alta Loma triangle, adjacent to the Alta Loma Middle School, and approximately 8.68 acres, two properties adjacent to the Avalon School, one being the upper ballfield and the other the me- morial park, which comprise 2.53 acres; City agreed to meet the appraisal price of approximately $1.5 million; the resolution had revised language that was highlighted in the staff report; purchase stipulation was that, at the beginning of escrow, the City would deposit $500,000 in escrow for the School District to have immediately and the remainder of the $1.575 million would be in escrow upon close; City would conduct a survey of the properties, prepare the parcel maps with 190 days to complete - which is provided for in the agreement and would include all fees. Mayor Fernekes asked Assistant City Manager Martel to further elaborate on how they were able to purchase this property from the School District at a cost under the market value of the property utilizing the Naylor Act. Assistant City Manager allows a government to under the market value these properties at 25% Martel stated the Naylor Act purchase property at a cost and we are able to acquire of the appraised value. Councilman Yee stated City found problems in refunded by the School he wanted it clear that, if the soils, the money would be District. City Attorney O'Toole stated that is correct, the sale would not be completed until the City finalizes the parcel maps because, as part of the process, the City would obtain soils and title repons and, if those came back and showed toxic substances on any of the sites, the parcel map would never be completed and the City would not go through with the sale. He stated, at that time the escrow money would be refunded. 1/12/94 Page 5 ~ENDA ACTIQN TAKEN ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 3. Resolutions - Continued.

Assistant City Manager Mattel stated that would be done. Councilman stated he was thankful the City was in the financial position to buy these properties, for they would never surface again. Mayor Fernekes stated he concurred, commenting on it having been a long process that was of benefit to the community in open space and parks. M/S Penna/Drago - To adopt the two Resolutions. RESOLUTION NO. 4-94 RESOLUTION NO. 5-94 Carried by unanimous roll call vote. Director of Parks, Recreation & Community Ser- vices Nagel stated the Council had designated $150,000 in park in-lieu fees in 1990 for construc- tion of a swimming pool in the park, with the stipu- lation that the Committee raise $1 million in each of the following three years or the funds would revert back to the General Fund. He stated the City in 1991 had received a request from the Committee for a time line extension be- cause, due to a crisis and the shaky economy, they had not been able to meet the $1 million deadline. He stated the $150,000 was to be obtained from the St. Francis Heights Subdivision, which had not yet been realized, and conditions had been added with an extension to 2/1/94. He stated the Committee had raised $29,000 to date and they felt positive and optimistic towards their efforts to raise the funds. Councilman Yee questioned if the in-lieu fees from the Sunrise Project could be used. Director of Parks, Recreation & Community Ser- vices Nagel stated the 1990 resolution dedicated fees from the St. Francis Heights, however, the residen- 1/12/94 Page 6 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 7.

He related: Council would discuss the General Fund and operating budget at its 2/2/94 meeting; staff would meet with the Council Subcommittee to outline a plan to improve the permit process; the three year goals and current progress; special im- provement projects.

He reported a heavy infestation of rats in Buri Buri and Serra Highlands and wanted staff to look at solutions, maybe giving out free rat poison to make a dent in the problem.
