surcharge; spoke regarding a case between Chevron and the
Lake Tahoe Water District, and provided a handout to the City Council.
• David Swerdlin, City resident, spoke in opposition of the water commodity

• Richard Hill Adams, City resident, spoke concerning discussion of
the item before the public hearing; expressed opposition in the water
commodity surcharge; and felt that the City should concentrate in fling a
lawsuit against Chevron.
8 9/7/2010
• Larry Kramer, City resident, felt that the City should continue its negotiations
with Chevron in order to get the MtBE cleaned up; felt that the City needs to
look into using their reserves instead of approving a water commodity
surcharge; spoke against automatic pass-through; and lack of transparency
with water rate increases.
• Clint Worthington, City resident, felt that the City needs to file a lawsuit
against Chevron; and concerned with renters not being allowed to mail in
protest letters, only homeowners.
Council Comments:
The Utilities Commission and City Council performed a thorough public
review process for the recently adopted water rate structure; and every step
of the process has been open and transparent.
The City is presently in negotiations with Chevron to recover damages;
understand the difficulty in having all property owners to weigh in the matter;
and stated that the City did not raise rates for many years.
Stated that the item is informational only, the Proposition 218 hearing is still
scheduled for the next City Council meeting; previous City Council opted
from raising rates for many years, and performing preventative maintenance;
recent rate increases are necessary in order to maintain a sustainable water
system; and expressed hope that Chevron will do the right thing and the
surcharge will be avoided.
Motion was seconded with the caveat that the word "IF" in the motion be
bolded and capitalized.
Council Action: Moved by Council Member Nielsen, seconded by
Council Member Allevato, and carried unanimously to set policy that IF an MtBE
surcharge is implemented, once any recovery is received from chevron, the
recovery will go first to reimburse the rate payers for any surcharges paid.
b. DISCUSSION OF THE NORTHWEST OPEN SPACE AREA PUBLIC
CROSSING AND CONTINUING LIFE COMMUNITIES (CLC) OPEN SPACE
PRESERVATION ALTERNATIVE OFFER (530.401600.30)
Cindy Russell, Chief Financial Officer/Treasurer, provided a staff report and
responded to questions.
Public Comments:
Clint Worthington, City resident, stated that the correct term for "side rail" is
"siding"; and felt that having a quiet zone would increase liability to the City;
and provided handouts to the City Council.
Jim Reardon, City resident, felt that the City Council should concentrate
on the main issues with the project which is the railroad crossing
and quiet zone.
Ryan Currie, Continuing Life Communities (CLC), made clarification
regarding the project's projected low impact traffic; requirements regarding
the railroad crossing; and responded to questions from the City Council.
9 9/7/2010
Council Comments:
• Felt that it would benefit the City to make the railroad crossing public whether
is for the Continuing Life Communities (CLC) project or another use, and
favored a quiet crossing; and should look into a railroad siding to the
north of Trabuco Creek Bridge, and would be open to the possibility of
bringing it south of the bridge.
• Felt that the City should not take liability for a public railroad crossing if the
project was a non-profit institution, but it would be worth pursuing a project
that would create significant revenue to the City, provide public access to
preserved open space, and provide appropriate insurance for liability
purposes; the railroad siding on the north of Trabuco Creek Bridge is a
reasonable approach, preference in waiting for study results before
supporting the south side of the bridge.
• Very complex issues, the City is waiting for a study report from the
Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), and additional information
from Continuing Life Communities (CLC); and in favor to move forward at
looking into the public railroad crossing as the next step.
• Concurred that the public railroad crossing is worth looking into only if it
provides benefits to the citizens, such as tax increment, increase property
taxes, access to open space, etc.; the railroad siding on Trabuco Creek
Bridge should be further explored and could be a workable alternative; and
expressed support for a quiet zone that is safe, limiting liability, and
maximizing the safety to the motoring public.
• Felt that the project is financially better than the previous project, but felt that
the liability involved in the public railroad crossing is not compensated with a
project like Continued Life Communities (CLC); and would like to look into
other types of developments that may be financially better for the City.
Council Motion: Moved by Council Member Nielsen, seconded by
Council Member Allevato, and carried 4-1 with Mayor Uso opposed to provide
direction to the CLC Ad -Hoc Subcommittee and staff to pursue with
Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) the capability and limitations
on moving forward with a safe quiet public railroad crossing specific to the
CLC project; request that OCTA provide their study of the difference in benefit
from siding that end north of the Trabuco Creek Bridge and those that end at
Oso Road; with the proviso that CLC is responsible for any cost involving
liability insurance; and bring an item back to the City Council as soon as
possible with more detail and specific recommendations.
