1999

(1) Report dated January 5, 1999, from the Engineering and Building Director, advising
that Tentative Tract No. 14196 (SunCal) had been conditioned to establish a
Geologic Hazard Abatement District for potential use in the event of a catastrophic
slope failure. The District would provide a tool that future home owners may use to
repair major slope failures. The Report advised that SunCal would be subject to all
statutes prescribed by law and, within the ten-year statute of limitations, would be
responsible for any slope failure resulting from their construction.
(2) Memorandum dated January 18, 1999, from the Engineering and Building Director,
advising that due to statutes governing the formation of the Geological Hazard
Abatement District, this would be the last meeting by law for the Public Hearing.
The Memorandum advised the City Attorney's review would not be complete and
recommended actions to be followed at the meeting.
(3) Memorandum dated January 18, 1999, from the Engineering and Building Director,
correcting the recommended course of action to note that the public hearing should
be formally closed, rather than continued to an additional meeting. The Report noted
that although the Public Hearing would be closed, public comment could still be

The Engineering and Building Director made an oral presentation, recommending the item
be continued until the process had been completed. The City Manager emphasized that even
though the Public Hearing would be closed, public input could still be received.
Public Hearing:
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Jones opened the public hearing, and
the following persons responded:
(1) John Jay Curtis, 26922 Via La Mirada, noting he was also addressing the Final Tract
Map 151686, scheduled later on the agenda, presented a letter dated January 19,
1999, relating to the SunCal project and the Geologic Hazard Abatement District.
City Council Minutes -6- 1119/99
021
The letter demanded that the City Council: refuse to approve a Final Tract Map;
suspend or revoke the developer's building permits on the project; refuse to approve
formation of the Geologic Hazard Abatement District; order preparation of a new
Environmental Impact Report; require the developer to fully repair all damages
associated with its failure to place appropriate fill mass at the base of the Via La
Mirada hill; require the developer to compensate the victims of the slide fairly; and,
require posting of a performance bond of $100,000,000 before recommencing work
on the project. Council Member Campbell noted that due to late receipt of the letter
she was unable to read and comment on it.
(2) Becky Trowbridge, 26952 Via La Mirada, advised she had been evacuated on
May 21st and felt disheartened that the SunCal project was proceeding. She discussed
how SunCal had dealt with residents who had been evacuated and felt the company
could not be trusted.
(3) Jim Lee, 26962 Via La Mirada, noted that his house had been yellow -tagged but he
was still able to reside in it. He presented copies of a map showing where the slide
had occurred and stated that 90% of the slide had been on City property. He
discussed grading that had occurred on his property at the toe of the slide and his
feeling that SunCal was irresponsible. He further indicated that the promised
winterizing of the slopes had not been completed.
(4) Lorrie Handen, 26992 Via La Mirada, stated that the slide had removed City property
that supported her back yard. She felt that SunCal had not followed the
recommendations of the Environmental Impact Report. She asked for protection of
the residents and preparation of a new Environmental Impact Report.
(5) Marion Lee, 26962 Via La Mirada, discussed the incomplete winterization project
and how the slide had impacted th.ir lives.
There being no further response, Mayor Greiner closed the public hearing.
Council Comments:
Mayor Greiner asked that the Staff respond to the winterization issue and Mr. Huber
responded that the winterization plan required approval from all property owners, which had
been received, grading to drain water away from the face of the landslide and then placement
of plastic. The developer had a problem finding a sub -contractor to install the plastic. A
contractor had been found approximately 1-112 weeks prior who was willing to do the work.
Mr. Huber advised that the City was monitoring the project. Council Member Hart inquired
about alternatives should the developer not comply and Mr. Huber advised that bonds were
on file that would cover winterization. However, to pull the bonds was a lengthy process.
He stated the winterization was complete at this point and the plastic had been installed. In
response to members of the audience who felt installation of the plastic was not complete,
Mr. Huber advised he would check the status of the project. The City Manager stated that
the developer would be given a specific deadline for compliance; if they failed to complete
the work the bonds would be pulled.
City Council Minutes -7- 1119199
022
Council Member Jones expressed great concern that the developer had been given a specific
deadline at the December 5,1998 meeting and firm direction was needed. Council Member
Hart concurred that everything necessary to assure completion of the project should be done
forthwith. Council Member Jones stated that the residents deserved to be kept apprized of
the situation.
Developer's Comments:
Ron Freeman, Vice President of SJD Partners, 5109 East La Palma, Suite D, Anaheim,
indicated that at the December 5th meeting they had been instructed to obtain a permit as
soon as possible. The permit was issued on December 7th and they had proceeded to clear
away the debris on the slope. However, it had been difficult to obtain bids for placement of
the plastic because of the condition of the slope and the conditions for placing the plastic.
They returned with a revised plan that had been approved by the plaintiffs and affected
homeowners and they had installed those portions that were consistent with the first plan and
with the revised plan. He felt the company had performed within the time frame given by
Council.
In response to the residents' concerns and Council Member Jones' concerns, Mr.
Scarborough, City Manager, stated that Staff would meet with the residents on January 20th
to answer their questions and provide information regarding completion of the winterization
project. Mayor Greiner reiterated that the item would be continued because deliberations
were continuing; no decisions would be made until the City was satisfied with the results of
the information being received and at this time there was no date certain for further
consideration of the item.
Continuation of Formation of Geologic Hazard Abatement District:
With the consensus of the Council, Mayor Greiner directed that consideration of the
formation of the Geologic Hazard Abatement District 98-01, Tentative Tract 14196 (SJD
Partners, Ltd., SunCal) be rescheduled upon completion of a legal review of issues raised by
the Via La Mirada homeowners and after receipt of the geotechnical information.

Report dated January 19, 1999, from the Engineering and Building Director, recommending
approval of Tract 15686 and the Improvement, Construction Cost Apportionment
Reimbursement and Financial Agreement. The Tract is known as the north Research and
Development site, containing approximately 34.7 acres located at the southerly terminus of

2. CONTINUATION OF PROPOSED BUDGET AMENDMENT, PLANS AND
SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZATION TO RECEIVE BIDS - CAMINO
DEL AVION LANDSCAPE PROJECT (CIP NO. 131)
Written Communications:
Report dated January 19, 1999, from the Engineering and Building Director, advising that
the conceptual landscape plan had been conditionally approved by the Planning Commission
in June, 1998. A consultant had been retained to prepare plans, specifications and project
cost estimates. The Report noted that the project initially began as a small in-house project;
however, it became apparent that more complex planning was needed; therefore, an increase
in the project cost of $24,000 was requested for a total project cost of $50,000.
The Engineering and Building Director gave an oral presentation, noting that the plans and
specifications had been completed for landscaping on the south side of Del Avion from the
east side of the new Citation Home project to Via Del Amo.
Council Comments:
Council Member Jones expressed concern at an increase in cost of $24,000. He noted that
development in that area was going to continue and a landscape design approved and
installed at this time may not adequately address the future needs in the area. Mr. Huber
City Council Minutes -9- 1119/99
024
explained that design work had become necessary due to the project size; the project was also
more intense than originally envisioned because of the formal review and project changes
made to fit in with an overall concept for the street. The project was also three years old and
costs had increased significantly in that time.
The City Manager indicated that the project had grown from its original vision to the correct
view of incorporating the landscaping on both sides of the street and developing a master
plan for landscaping the whole area. He suggested staff could further review the project;
however, the cost may not be much less. Council Member Jones also suggested that staff
address the landscaping along the fence on the north side of Del Avion at the soccer fields.
Continuation of Item:
It was moved by Council Member Campbell, seconded by Council Member Swerdlin, and
unanimously carried that the consideration of the budget amendment, plans and
specifications and authorization to receive bids on the Camino Del Avion landscape project
be continued to the February 16, 1999, meeting in order to address the Council's concerns
with the costs and the view corridor.

records management needs and provide a cost effective tool for replacing other failing
programs and automating other manual processes. The Report recommended waiver of the
formal bidding procedure and authorize the purchase of 10 licenses.
The Administrative Services Director made an oral presentation, advising that the proposed
