TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY AND CHARLES HAUSWIRTH- FUNDING
AND OPERATION OF TELEBUSINESS CENTER AT ORTEGA BUSINESS
CENTER (600.50/600.30)
Written Communications:
Report dated March 7, 1995, from the Community Development Administrator, forwarding
an Agreement with the Orange County Transportation Authority for $18,351 in
Transportation Control Measures funding, which will be allocated to Charles R. Hauswirth
through an Agreement for establishment and operation of a TeleBusiness Center in the Ortega
Business Center. The Report advised that ultimately the City will enter into another
Agreement with the Orange County Transportation Authority for Measure M funding of the
Center. These funds, in the amount of$62,739, are currently encumbered in the County's
bankruptcy proceedings. The remaining Agreement will be forwarded to the City for
approval once funding has been released.
Cassandra Walker made an oral presentation.
Council Member Campbell asked about the amount of time staff would spend administering
the contracts. Ms. Walker estimated administrative work related to the reporting
requirements could require between two and five hours per month. Council Member
Campbell requested there be an understanding that no City funds were to be used and staff
time should be limited to no more than five hours per month. Council Member Hart asked

a
about the City receiving a 1% fee to administer the program. Ms. Walker advised that the
agreements were not structured to include an administrative fee; the forthcoming agreement
for the Measure M funds could be structured include such a fee. Council Member Swerdlin
advised he had also been led to believe there would be an administrative fee associated with
the program. Council Member Jones felt the benefits of the program outweighed the costs
and that an administrative fee had been built into the OCTA agreement.
Charles Hauswirth, 26611 Paseo Durango, the applicant, stated his understanding had been
that the City would receive a 4% administrative fee for handling the funding.
Council Member Hart expressed concern that the Council may not have received the correct
financial information necessary to make an informed decision and asked City staff to ascertain
whether there was an administrative fee included in the Agreements. The City Manager
advised that a complete report would be available on Wednesday.
Approval of Agreements for Establishment of TeleBusiness Center:
It was moved by Council Member Jones, seconded by Council Member Swerdlin and
unanimously carried to:

for funding in the amount of $18,351, for the period ending June 30, 1996, for

(2) Approve the Agreement with Charles R. Hauswirth for operation of the Center
proposed at the Ortega Business Center, to commence not later than May 7, 1995,
and continue for a period of not less than one year, with a one-year renewable option.
The Agreement provides for the City to pass through the Orange County
Transportation Authority funds in the amount of$18,351.
The Mayor was authorized to execute the Agreements on behalf of the City. Council Member

unrealized revenues from development activities and over-estimation of expenditures. The
