(078- Director of Planning & Building reported that the originally requested height was 80 feet and would serve all schools from the one location; that the Commission asked for a re-evaluation, which resulted in two antenna to be on top of the building, rather than one free-standing unit; that the two would be 15-11 and 25-feet, for a total of the heights to be 55 ft from the ground; that the School District considers the amenua an interim solution, with permanent solution in 5-10 years depending on changes in technology; that the Tribal Council and its Planning Commission had concerns regarding the antenna on Indian leased land, and it met with the District and the proposed resolution has been revised, i.e., the fifth Whereas clause has been revised concerning removal within 3 ' years or after certain lots have approved building permits issued for them; and on Page 5 of the conditions, in that No. 3 repeats that criteria with provision to allow mutual extension of time between the Tribal Council and the District.

Gary Boyce, P.S. U.S. D. representative, indicating availability to answer questions. Council Minutes 5-5-99,Page 2 There being no further appearances,the hearing was closed. Mayor expressed concern as to setting precedent to place the towers on two story buildings, for others who might have the same need. Councihnember Oden stated that the use is temporary and addresses a need relative to children in schools,and that might not be optimum,but it is one that must be done. Director of Planning & Building stated that shielding through strategic placement of plants was considered; that it is a public facility and an interim measure; that the District may have been ahead in its plan and he agreed it may not be the best solution , and that it is a severe recommendation that it may have to be removed in three years. In response to question by Council, Mr. Boyce explained the need for the tower,which was the result of professional consultation and studies by the District,which looked at different approaches and costs;that cost is a major concern and education for kids is an even bigger concern; that the towers will allow communication between the schools and the universe; and that new technology as it becomes available and at cheaper costs will mean that the towers will come down. He noted that if the tower were on a school site, City approval would not be required. Council consensus that the three year condition was acceptable. Resolution 19509 as revised, was presented; after which, it was moved by Oden, seconded by Reller-Spurgin,and unanimously carried,that R19509 be adopted. 2. AIRPORT NOISE COMPATIBILITY PROGRAM-PROPERTY ACQUISITION Recommendation: That the Council adopt a Resolution of Necessity to acquire three parcels (Sungold Development) inside the future runway protection zones and within the (051- CNEL 65 contours (Palm Springs). Hearing continued from March 17, 1999. 046) Director, Dept. of Transportation Asst. City Manager-Operations reviewed his memorandum in detail, along with a,supplemental report, copies of which were provided to the Councilm,and are on file. Mayor declared the hearing open. Diane Dykema, property owner, stated that there is no necessity to take the property, and asked that the Resolution not be adopted. She stated that the FAA informed her that this is solely a City decision; that no condemnation proceedings have been started on any of the properties; that she has received inconsistent information as to the City intended use of the property; that she has been told that the City was dealing with a local Realtor to offer the property to Burger King or Carl's Jr.;that the City has not made any contact, nor has there been any contact by the City attorney,nor an appraisal made on the easement;that she has acquired the 7th lot, and is willing to proceed with the easement,and would like commercial use of the property; that there is no desire to lure away any existing Airport business, but there are others who do not have car rental space at the Airport; that she would like the zoning at it highest and best use; that the FAA will not do anything contrary to the City's decision, and she did not believe rejecting the Res. of Necessary would in any way jeopardize the relationship between the City and the FAA, because there is no need to take the property; that she would like to believe that the effort is being made in good faith, but ' the City has not followed through in what it prescribed in its last letter. Fred Noble, 120 E. Tahquitz Canyon,stated that the City made a low-ball effort to buy the property; that a broker was offering it to at least two commercial users; that the Dykema family is acquainted with the Karcher's who own Carl's Jr.; that he believed events may have been happening simultaneously; that this is not a runway safety issue, but a condemnation to buy low and resale high, and to make money for the Airport; that it is not an acceptable thing to do by using governmental power; that the legalities may be resolved in court, but the evidence will show what the City did; that the Ramon corridor, in the meantime, is developing; that the owners have been approached with a view toward Council Minutes 5-5-99,Page 3 developing an entire block; that Sungold is prepared to develop in a proper fashion, and would like to have the Council instruct the staff to zone the property commercial and to accept the safety easement of the nature proposed and see the property developed to it highest and best commercial use. He stated that one element of City staff is trying to get e economic development to occur, and another portion is trying to slow it down; and that the condemnation is not appropriation and the resolution should not be adopted. ' Dick Sroda, resident, stated that this is supply a condemnation of private property; that he was surprised that the matter has been carried forward this many times on the flimsy basis of"necessity"that there is no public interest in this; that it is a prime piece., of commercial land; that if the City wants to voluntarily discus buying it, that would be acceptable, but it should not be using public condemnation to get it; and that the FAA letter said"ideally we want the airport to acquire property"and he considered such language wishy-washy and felt the City would lose in court,and he did not understand how it could justify its position. Darrell Meeks, Morongo Valley, stated that the Council should adopt a resolution ordering the Airport not to purchase the property; that the FAA letters does not stated that it is a necessity, rather that it would be "nice" but not that it must be purchased; that there are other properties nearer the Airport for which nothing has been planned; and that he questioned if the Mayor could participate in the decision. Fred Ebeling,resident, stated that he felt the staff has what appears to be a private interest, and the decision would pervert federal legislation locally. There were no further appearances,and the hearing was closed. Councilmember Barnes stated that the bottom line question is whether there must be a taking of the property, and the answer is that ultimate the City is not required to do so, but due to past record and consistency of action and what the FAA expects, it is something that ' should be done; that one option is to take the easement and compensation the owners for it, which is inconsistent with the owners fight against he condemnation, only to be happy to be compensated for the easement;and he questioned what the City would get W it took only the easement. Assistant City Manager-Operations stated that the easement would allow only minimum use on the property, basically, a parking lot or agricultural use; that the mauln objective is to keep the property in a compatible use-e.g.,at LAX such area is used for parking lots - that the City does not build parking lots; that efforts are in process to acquire all vacant properties and residential property at both ends of the runway, but the City does not have the resources to do them all at one time; that the Airport service station is not within the: Runway Protection Zone(RPZ), and a large portion on the corner must remain vacant;that the Airport does not have any Realtor working on this matter; that there have been some; talks about the Airport property,but not others;that the Airport does not zone the property„ and it was R and increased to P, which was not a down-zoning; and thatt once acquired, there is not intent to sell it. Councilmember Oden noted that in other instances, grant funds are obtained and the; recipients did not follow the expectations of the grant, only to find that the next time they filed for a grant, one was not given;that the project would be funded by an FAA grant, and the Council should not take lightly what the Council has done with the noise and RPZ elements, in that it established consistency, and the proposed action is what has been dons: thus far, and it should be continued;that there had to be a reason for the FAA to have made; the recommendation, and ignoring it could potentially jeopardize the entire valley airport, , and he was not willing to take that risk. Councilmember Hodges requested that the City Manager follow-up on the allegation concerning a Realtor representing the City, regardless of what action occurs; and she, questioned if a restriction could be added to provide that the property would not be used for anything other than agriculture or parking lot, and whether the City could then lease the properly back to Sungold to be used for parking associated with development on its adjacent property. Council Minutes 5-5-99,Page 4 Assistant City Manager-Operations stated that there may be compatible uses which include parking, but a drive-through fast food could not be placed on the site by anyone, and there would be nothing to stop the City from leasing the site for parking. City Attorney noted that even if the condemnation proceeding is authorized, there is the opportunity to work out settlement with the owner, including a parking lease; and that the City is not trying to acquire the lot in order to sell it at a high price. He stated that he discussed the Mayor's standing in this matter with him to clarify the conflict situation, because he abstained on it the last time it was discussed; that the FPPC dealt with the very specific facts at the time it looked at the conflict issue,which was the whole Airport Master Plan, and said that decision was unique to those facts;that there are many issues concerning the Airport, and the material effect must be looked at on a case by case basis; that the Mayor was leery if any item simply referred to the Airport,and if he should abstain;that the issue is whether he has any economic interest in the vicinity of this property(300 feet) and the answer was No;that this is merely a implementation of one step in the master plan, and his understanding was that the Mayor checked on this date and found that he has no economic gain,and none exists, and therefore he has no conflict. Mayor stated that he did not want to see the property left baron, and questioned if it would be landscaped in any manner. Councilmember Hodges stated that she previously stated she did not know if the property was needed, and there is not a clear answer to that question; that she understood that there is the master plan and this is only a part of it; that the goal was to acquire property as part of the plan, and she had not considered the consistency issue in terms of other properties until it was raised in this meeting; that other properties were taken by condemnation, and this is not much different; and that she would like to see some type of resolve worked out with the developer,however,the properties at both ends of the runway are needed. ' Res 19510 of necessity, as recommended, was presented; after which, it was moved by Oden,seconded by Barnes,and unanimously carried,that R19510 be adopted. PUBLIC COMMENTS: a) Comments on matters not related to an agenda item: Roberta Dyer,resident,complimented the success of the Dog Park on behalf of dog owners and their dogs. Eric Meeks, resident, stated that the Council should be the "employee" who provides information and helps overcome hurdles in communication, and not hire a new city employee; that funds for a new employee should be used to develop an interactive internet site,through which the citizens could buy a dog license, obtain permits,and other information. Fred Ebeling, resident, expressed his opinion concerning public employees, elections and government in general, and that public employees should not have the right to vote. Don Frank, resident, reiterated comments he has made in the past concerning the disappearance of Jeremy Crocker and his opinion as to the lack of interest by the local police,council,and media in finding him. ' b) Comments on Items 3-6: Art Bunce, Tribal Council Attorney, stated that Items 3-4-5 all deal with the same subject, regarding the opening of Tahquitz Canyon, but they are not related in terms of action; that he understood concerns regarding wording on Item 3, but felt that the other subjects could be moved forward;that Item 5 is necessary,because of bids and that the Tribal Council has a contractor ready to proceed, however, the bids expired on May 4, and a short extension might be possible, and the Tribal Council was requesting that the Council proceed with its action. '.' '1 'J Council Minutes 5-5-99,Page 5 Tom Davis, Tribal Planning Consultant, stated that there might be some conflict regarding the working on Item 3, but if the item is continued, there could be an adverse economic impact on the Tribe; that if the matter is continued to another meeting, it be at a time when the Council can take official action; that the visitor center needs to be underway.

He stated that he thought another ruling was needed. Dick Sroda,resident,stated that the rail station parking lot was just completed, and questioned why money needed to be spent to slurry seal it. He stated that (143- concerning Item 16, it is not right to have nearly $400,000 in change orders 006) approved by the staff,without coming to the Council for approval;that they should be itemized and discussed; and he did not trust city employees to prove the need for them. d) Comments concerning Item 2: Diane Dykema stated that she would provide the name of the Realtor to the City (051- staff. 046) COUNCIL COMMENTS/ANNOUNCEMENTS/INTERAGENCY REPORTS: ' a) Mayor and Councilmembers reported on various civic and community organizational meetings and events which they attended, subsequent to the last regular meeting, and announced upcoming events of community interest.
