Sharon for Ravenwood Park assessment -Note and file~ notify Mr. Sharon that refund would constitute an illegal gift of public funds. Mr. Joel Sharon, 13870 Ravenwood, addressed the report from the City Attorney regarding the Ravenwood Assessment District. He noted the Assessment District was voted in over the majority of the neighbors, but when the City Council reversed their position the neighbors were City Council Minutes 3 December 2, 1992 not refunded for the $110 payment they made. City Attorney Riback recommended that Mr. Sharon read his memo dated November 18, 1992, addressed to the City Council regarding this matter. Mr. Riback addressed his memo outlining answers to Mr. Sharon's. concerns. Mr. Sharon noted he does not agree with the City Attorney's opinion and feels the funds were taken in violation of Prop. 13 as well as other rules. He advised the Council that he is not satisfied with this matter and will take whatever steps necessary to see a remedy to this situation. Mr. Charles Shaw, Ravenwood Dr., addressed a petition submitted to the City Council last year noting the request of the petition was to dissolve LLA-1 and return the payment to the residents. He stated he is requesting that the Council return the money to the 77 homes who paid the tax.

MONIA/KOHLER MOVED TO ACCEPT THE REPORT FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY. Councilmember Tucker stated the last time this matter was heard the City Council directed the Parks & Recreation Commission to survey the neighborhood to find out if a park is wanted in the area. The above motion was carried 4-1 (Burger No). City Attorney Riback pointed out that the law has changed and a City Council can no longer override majority protests in a Lighting and Landscape district. 5. COMMUNICATIONS FROM COMMISSIONS AND THE PUBLIC A. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Jim Lavin, Pepper Ln., thanked the residents involved in the recall process and Mr. Peacock and Mrs. Cory for the fairness and diligence they exhibited in counting the petition signatures. Mr. Lavin reiterated the number of signatures received on the recall petition. He noted because of the recall petition people are more aware of City politics. He suggested that when the Councilmembers are deciding issues they should lean towards the people. Mr. Jeff Schwartz made a few comments regarding the Cocciardi situation and the Creek, Mayor Anderson asked Mr. Schwartz if he would hold his City Council Minutes 4 December 2, 1992 comments,. as the subject of the creek is on the agenda. Mr. Lou Thorpe, 19550 Farwell Ave., expressed concern about people wanting to sign the recall petition, but wouldn't for fear of repercussions. He stated it was observed that the people complaining of harassment, were actually harassing people into not signing the petition. Mr. Eric McCr~stal, 19887 Seagull Way, stated the past few months have been a disgrace to the people of Saratoga. He expressed his outrage at the tactics used during the election and with the recall petition. Mr. McCrystal also expressed concern about existing councilmembers getting involved in such tactics. He noted City funds have been spent counting signatures of the recall petition when it was obvious they had lost. He stated he will work towards removing the Councilmembers involved in bad City politics. Mr. Bob Louden, 21110 Sullivan Way, noted the recall petition failed so people should go forward. He stated people should criticize Councilmembers' actions and not their character. He feels the primary thrust of the recall petition was to attack MayorAnderson's character. Mayor Anderson publicly thanked the people who did not sign the recall petition and all those involved in this. Mr. Preston Burlingham, 14173 Squirrel Hollow Ln., congratulated Mayor Anderson. He stated he will join with Mr. Lavin as an equally concerned citizen for the betterment of Saratoga. Mr. Burlingham addressed the garbage rates, discussed at a previous meeting. He noted he agrees that a study of Green Valley should take place, but when the audit takes place in April 1993, this is an opportunity to examine Green Valley thoroughly and suggested holding a public hearing. Mr. Ed. Vincent, 13617 Westover Dr., stated, as a citizen, he recently paid for a building permit, a portion of which is designated as an inspection fee. He stated the job was not inspected to make sure it met all building codes. He stated this fee should be called a tax. He also noted there is some activity on the Paul Masson site and would like to know if the City has authorized or is part of this. Mayor Anderson stated the Bank of America is the overseer for this property. She suggested that Mr. Vincent talk to the City Manager for more information. Mr. Forrest Pontenberg, 19000 Bonnet Way, questioned the wall and tree removal along Bonnet Way. He stated he did send a letter ~o all Councilmembers and has not received a reply.

Mr. Peacock reviewed the sphere of influence and where Ms. Alexanderes property is located. 4) Request from Azule crossing Merchants for waiver of temporary use permit requirements for Holiday Faire on December 5 to support the Second Harvest Food Bank Staff recommends that the City Council waive the fees but not permit requirements. Councilmember Tucker feels that this Holiday Faire is not only benefiting the Non-Profit Organization, but the Shopping Center. She feels it may be appropriate for the businesses to donate the funds for the temporary use permit as a donation and then get the tax write-off. Councilmember Monia stated the City has been supportive of Second Harvest Food Bank and would like to keep this going. City Manager Peacock stated the staff process and staff work is minimal as no notices or hearings are required. Mayor Anderson spoke in favor of waiving the fees.

He noted when the City Council adopted the budget they did agree to put in additional money that was required to start the live broadcast of the Council meetings in 1991.

Mayor Anderson stated this is an office building and has been functioning as an office building since it opened. Also doctors have been tenants since that time.

He stated the number presumes a six month window of activity, which is reasonable in allowing the new measure A to work through any new challenges. He stated the $93,000 is contingent on an agreement with the Traffic Authority. In response to Councilmember Burger's question, Mr. Maniaci stated the change in the jump start funding will have no impact on the overall savings. He also stated the old Measure A has a completion plan and this will be pursued in connection with the new Measure A. In response to Councilmember Monia's question, City Attorney Riback explained how this new authority differs from the San Diego authority which was the subject of the Rider decision by the State Supreme Court.

He noted the issues Councilmember Tucker heard and what was presented at the November 12th meeting have been modified, as outlined in the Traffic Authority report. He stated the concerns expressed by the Councilmembers have been addressed. Mr. Peacock stated from the perspective of a Public Administrator and Manager of local government, the proposed "Fast Track" is a good idea, as long as the dollars are spent only to further the completion plan components of Measure A.

Mr. Schwartz addressed the Cocciardi matter noting that the City City Council Hinutes · December 2# 1992 Council voted against the Citizens Committee being involved in the reply to the Grand Jury. He noted Saratoga Creek could be a more severe problem. He commented on the hostility of councilmembers toward the public and noted letters regarding the creek, sent to the Council have gone unanswered. He stated the biggest impediment to the Cocciardi investigation was that the City Inspector kept no records of his inspections and feels the same thing is happening with the Creek inspections. Mr. Schwartz stated Mr. Whetstone posted signs along the creek, at his own expense, and the response from the City was that the signs were illegal. Mr. Schwartz stated the response from the City to the Regional Water Quality Control Board is incomplete and inaccurate. He stated the City owes Mr. Whetstone an apology and owes the City immediate action on the creek. City Manager Peacock presented the staff report dated December 2, 1992. He noted that staff has prepared a response to the Council's request at the November 8th meeting.

Councilmember Monia suggested making the proposed signs more clear as to a health hazard. City Manager Peacock suggested the following "DO NOT WADE OR PLAY IN THE CREEK. THE CITY IS INVESTIGATING THE PRESENCE OF POSSIBLE POLLUTANTS IN THIS AREA WHICH MAY POSE A HEALTH HAZARD." Mayor Anderson stated KeithWhitman from the Non-Point Source Pollution Agency, indicated the appropriate agency to discuss health hazards is with the County Environmental Health Department. She also urged that a City official be involved in meetings regarding water quality. Councilmember Monia stated the Council should make an effort to publicize that there is a potential health problem in the creek. Mr. Peacock stated it is his belief that the sampling and training kits will not exceed $12,000. He noted he is seeking confirmation to expend up to that amount and to prepare a budget adjustment resolution for December 16th approval. Councilmember Burger stated the actions in the City Manager's memo are positive steps. She stated she would like to make a clear statement that, while the City welcomes all the help it can get, there should be a central point to resolving these problems and one person to report to. Mayor Anderson concurred and stated the City Manager would be the central point. She noted they need to re-establish which agency is responsible for certain problems. Councilmember Monia stated the Council needs to show stronger leadership in this area. He feels the only people that have taken any action are the citizens. He stated the Council needs to be at the leading edge and invite the public to help. He stated an outreach program is needed. He stated the City should be aware of other sources of pollution other than restaurants and how to identify these. He asked why the pollution was not caught during normal routine inspections. He stated there needs to be communication between the city and the Water District before problems can be resolved. Mayor Anderson stated a staff person did go out frequently to try and identify the pollutants, but there was a breakdown in communication. She also noted she went on a walk along the creek with Dr. Bernard. She stated he will be making a recommendation to the Planning Commission to keep development away from the creek, because when lawns are watered, fertilizers seep into the creek. The Councilmembers discussed the report from ToxScan Inc. Mayor Anderson stated the only metal found was copper. Councilmember Monia stated the City now has a base line as a result of the report~ City Council Minutes 9 'December 2# 1992 Ms. Gloege stated the numbers in the ToxScan report can be compared to the range found in water quality monitoring throughout the County. Mr. Peacock stated the next step is to send the report to the County and State Health Departments. Mr. DonWhetstone, Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road, stated the response at this hearing should have come a year ago. He feels answers to his questions have not been given. Mr. Whetstone noted on Thanksgiving, while inspecting the creek there was a foul smell and he had to remove children playing in the creek. He noted this is a serious matter. He stated the creek is beautiful and children will not stay out so the creek needs to be cleaned up. Mr. Whetstone addressed the discharges in the creek. He stated the Fire Department should be called when discharges are seen and suggested a phone line be put in near the creek so the Fire Department can respond immediately. He suggested the Councilmembers read the NPDES permits. In response to Councilmember Tucker's question, Mr. Whetstone stated he has not talked to parents of children playing in the creek and there have been no reports of sickness, to his howledge. Ms. Anne Mehaffy, 14340 Paul Ave., stated she has observed a foul smell and suds in the creek. She expressed concern about the lack of response from the City and noted the Creek should be cleaned up as soon as possible. Ms. Roberta Marshall, 14341 Paul Ave., thanked Mr. Whetstone for his work regarding this matter. She noted the Environmental Service Manager should be involved in this process or should be the central person to contact. She noted she has waded in the creek, not realizing it is polluted. Ms. Marshall stated action should be taken to clean up the creek as soon as possible. Mayor Anderson stated #6 under the City Manager's recommendations should be the topic of discussion when the Council meets with the restaurant owners. Mr. Peacock explained the penalties if a Use Permit is in violation. In response to Councilmember Kohler's question, Mr. Peacock stated Mrs Gloege is the first person on the notification list. Councilmember Burger stated the City needs to reiterate and make it clear what the chain of command is. She also concurred with the City Manager's additional wording on the signs. City Manager Peacock stated signs will be posted where the City has the right-of-way and does not have to get permission. Councilmember Monia suggested posting signs in other places along the creek and then get permission from the Water District. He also noted he did read the permit and there are a number of threshold dates to file reports. He asked whether all these obligations had been met. In response, Mr. Gloege stated they have and are on record. She also noted the Health Departmentdoes inspect the grease traps, but does not report to the City. Councilmember Monia asked if there are regular City inspections to restaurants regarding garbage bin overflow into the creek. Mr. Peacock stated the City Engineer is working on this sort of problem.
