Cary Dyer, Antioch Chamber of Commerce, noted some retailers located on East 18^th  and "A" Streets had expressed some concern for the impacts road construction may have on their business during the busy Christmas season.

Mr. Dyer, on behalf of himself and the retailers, thanked Mr. Brandt for his efforts.

Douglas Tokes discussed air quality in Antioch, which he felt was particularly poor in the evening, due to fireplaces. He noted other cities are adopting ordinances that place restrictions on burning, and felt the Council should look into this matter before it gets worse. He further commented that underground utilities should be used in the new section of East 18^th Street, he felt the city should take this opportunity to modernize during construction, stating the older sections of Antioch aren’t being maintained as adequately as Southeast Antioch.

Dimitri Karadais, representing TIGHT (Tobacco Industry Gets Hammered By Teens), stated his organization helps youth get involved in their community, while at the same time warns and educates them about how tobacco advertising targets young people. He urged the Council to familiarize themselves with the Tobacco Free Youth Ordinance, and consider adopting it for the City of Antioch.

Barbara Sobalvarro, speaking on behalf of the Friends of Animal Services, invited the Council and public to attend the "1999 Adopt a Pet and Open House Day." She noted the event would take place on Saturday, January 30, l999 at the Antioch Animal Shelter from 1:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M.

13. RESOLUTIONS REGARDING THE ISSUANCE OF PRIVATE ACTIVITY, MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING REVENUE BONDS FOR THE REHABILITATION/ACQUISITION OF SYCAMORE WOODS AND THE ANTIOCH FRANCISCAN/RIVIERA APARTMENTS AND AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING EXECUTION OF A JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT WITH THE CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION

Paul Heller, Administrative Analyst I, presented the staff report dated January 12, l999, recommending the City Council adopt the attached resolutions approving the issuance of Private Activity, Multi-family Housing Revenue Bonds and approving, authorizing, and directing execution of a Joint Powers Agreement with the California Statewide Community Development Association. He noted the City is not obligated for the bonds, nor will the City provide any funding for this project.

Steve Hamill, representing the California Statewide Communities Development Authority and the League of California Cities, discussed the purpose of the issuance of the bonds, noting the primary reasons are for economic development and to provide affordable housing.

Mike Condry, representing Affordable Housing Corporation, stated their interest is in acquiring and substantially rehabilitating the properties to create a nice family environment. He noted the current owner of the properties has chosen not to invest in these properties and deferred maintenance, which has resulted in problems for the City in terms of the tenant population and increased calls for police service.

Community Development Director Ward noted that for the last 4-6 months Community Policing, Code Enforcement, and the Building Division have worked in the complex in an attempt to bring it closer to Code. He further noted the expectation is that a change in ownership and a complete rehabilitation of the properties would significantly upgrade the housing in that area.

Council Member Sudario felt the City should fully utilize the code enforcement laws to ensure landlords living outside the City do not allow their properties to deteriorate to such a degree.

Steve Hamill, representing the California Statewide Communities Development Authority, explained to the Council the financial aspects related to the bonds.

Mike Condry, representing Affordable Housing Corporation, responded to questions from Council Member Sudario regarding tax issues, noting they would be seeking property tax exemptions for the properties. He further noted they would not be required to pay prevailing wages on the project.

Mayor Rocha opened the public hearing.

OPPONENT:

Mayor Rocha noted that Wilhelmina Andrade has sent a letter to the City, expressing her opposition to the project.

Jean Kuberra expressed her concern for the project seeking property tax exemption, noting the project is supposed to increase the tax base. She felt Council should study this project more carefully before approval.

Kelly Anschutz, representing Plumbers and Steam Fitters Local 159, discussed the prevailing wage requirement, noting there are government subsidies involved in the project, and Antioch had adopted an Ordinance requiring the payment of prevailing wages for redevelopment construction. Community Development Director Ward noted the project is not in a redevelopment area, therefore the prevailing wage requirement is not applicable to the project.

Norma Hernandez felt the project would be of no benefit to the City of Antioch. She stated the project would only create more low-income housing, and use taxpayer money to get the landlord off the hook. She also noted her opposition to the properties being exempt from property tax.

REBUTTAL:

Mike Condry, representing Affordable Housing Corporation, stated they intend to spend approximately $3.5 Million in upgrading these properties, and maintain them as quality affordable housing for 40 years. He noted that because public monies are not involved in the project, prevailing wage is not a requirement. He felt that if they do not acquire the project, the current landlord would allow the properties to further deteriorate, which would cause further problems for the City. He stated this is not a one-time rehabilitation, the property will continue to be maintained.

Mayor Rocha requested the project be subject to the prevailing wage requirement. Mr. Condry noted they are rehabilitating these properties with no financial help from the City, therefore, they have a restricted budget. He felt the prevailing wage requirement would undermine the quality of the rehabilitation process.

Council Member Soliz expressed concern regarding the financing of the bonds. He noted a consortium of public agencies is issuing the bonds, and felt therefore, that the project would fall under the Davis Bacon Act. City Attorney Galstan responded the Davis Bacon Act is applicable only if the government is providing direct financial assistance, which was not the case.

Mr. Condry went on to discuss the proposed capital improvements and the construction costs per unit.

Mayor Rocha closed the public hearing.

Council Member Sudario stated she appreciates the organization’s honesty, but noted she could not support the project due to the property tax exemption issue. She commented the project offers no tax base to support services, and felt prevailing wage should be required.

Council Member Freitas stated that he would not support a property tax exemption on the properties in the future if the project does not pay prevailing wage.

Council Member Soliz also expressed concern for the prevailing wage issue, but also noted this project helps to clean up a blighted area, with no cost to the City. He felt that if the area were improved, it would decrease the calls for service in the area.

Mayor Rocha stated she agrees with Council Member Soliz, and encouraged the applicant to use local businesses and workers on the project. She further emphasized she supports the prevailing wage requirement.

Council Member Sudario stated this is not the only solution for cleaning up blighted areas, and felt the City has not fully utilized Code Enforcement to ensure that landlords maintain their properties.

Council Member Freitas requested that at sometime in the future, staff give a presentation on the details of what Code Enforcement can and cannot do.

On motion by Council Member Soliz, seconded by Council Member Davis, the Council A) adopted the resolution approving issuance of Multi-Family Housing Revenue Bonds by California Statewide Communities Development Authority (Sycamore Woods); B) adopted the resolution approving issuance of Multi-Family Housing Revenue Bonds by California Statewide Communities Development Authority (Antioch Franciscan/Riviera Apartments); and C) adopted the resolution approving, authorizing and directing execution of an amended and restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement relating to the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (Sycamore Woods/Antioch Franciscan-Riviera Apartments). The motion was carried by the following vote:

AYES: Freitas, Soliz, Davis, Rocha
NOES: Sudario

Mayor Rocha declared a recess at 9:37 P.M. The meeting reconvened at 9:49 P.M. with all Members present.

COUNCIL REGULAR AGENDA -- Continued

2. PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION HIGHLIGHTS REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 1997-98


Dave Wetmore, Deputy Director of Leisure Services and Purchasing Agent for the City of Antioch, introduced Gilbert Azevedo, Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Commission, who presented the Parks and Recreation Commission Calendar Year 1997-98 Highlights.

On motion by Council Member Sudario, seconded by Council Member Soliz, the Council unanimously received and filed the report.

3. PREWETT FAMILY WATER PARK PROPOSED FEES AND SCHEDULE FOR THE 1999 SEASON
   

Finance/Leisure Services Director Tasker presented the staff report dated December 7, l998 recommending City Council A) approve the proposed fees for the Prewett Family WaterPark for the 1999 Season, and B) approve the proposed schedule for the Prewett Family WaterPark for the 1999 Season.

Dave Wetmore, Deputy Director of Leisure Services, gave a brief overview of the activities offered at Prewett Family Park. He gave a presentation outlining the last three years of daily admissions cumulative by week and daily admissions revenue cumulative by week. He also discussed hours, weather and how they directly impact revenues at the park.

John Tasker, Finance/Leisure Services Director gave a presentation outlining the proposed fees and schedule for the 1999 season.

Council Member Sudario felt the proposed reduction in discount for Mello-Roos residents for a family pass was unfair. She noted that since the majority of the season passes sold are to Mello-Roos residents, the WaterPark would attract more business if they increased rather than decrease the Mello-Roos discount.

Gilbert Azevedo, Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Commission, explained the Commission’s reasoning behind some of the proposed fee changes.

Mike Kean, Member of the Parks and Recreation Commission, stated the Commission’s objectives were to minimize the subsidy, while maximizing hours; and still find a balance to the Mello-Roos resident issue, while at the same time get the marketing going and achieve stability at the WaterPark.

Norma Hernandez noted Mello-Roos residents were originally told they would be able to use the park for free, and felt they are the ones keeping the park afloat. She further stated the cheaper the prices are, the more business the park will attract. She also felt the Commission should be working on both an annual and an hourly fee to increase business at the WaterPark.

Larry Howard stated Prewett Park is a prime example of misuse of public monies. He further stated the Council should look into privatizing the park.

Council Member Soliz stated he is in support of looking at changing the rates.

Council Member Sudario stated she couldn’t support increasing the family pass for Mello-Roos residents, noting that if they increased the discount, it would increase business at the park. She also felt a dollar-an-hour fee should be put in place.

On motion by Council Member Freitas, seconded by Council Member Soliz, the Council A) approved the proposed fees for the Prewett Family WaterPark for the 1999 Season and B) approved the proposed schedule for the Prewett Family WaterPark for the 1999 Season. The motion was carried by the following vote:

AYES: Freitas, Soliz, Davis, Rocha
NOES: Sudario

4. A.  ORDINANCE APPROVING DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH
   MC BAIL COMPANY (McBail Sand Creek Ranch)

B.  ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 9, CHAPTER 5, ARTICLE 3 OF THE ANTIOCH MUNICIPAL; CODE (ZONING MAP) FOR MC BAIL COMPANY, FOR THE VICINITY OF THE NORTH SIDE OF LONE TREE WAY, JUST WEST OF EMPIRE AVENUE (Sand Creek Ranch)

Community Development Deputy Director Carniglia presented the staff report dated January 12, l999, recommending City Council adopt the second reading of the attached ordinances 1) Development Agreement; and 2) rezoning to Planned Development District.

Larry Howard urged the Council to turn down the proposal, as he felt jobs are still not defined in the Agreement. He noted this is leapfrog development, and it has not yet been defined how this project fits into Measure "U."

Kelly Anschutz, representing Plumbers and Steam Fitters Local 159, referred to Exhibit "C" of the Development Agreement, stating the local hire and job training language is laced with loopholes. He noted they have been working on the language, and have come a long way, but felt there is a sticking point pertaining to the issue of job training. He requested Council postpone the adoption of these two ordinances, to allow time for a compromise to be reached.

Mark Brady, member of the Antioch Labor to Labor Committee, stated they are concerned about the rapid growth in Antioch. He asked Council to postpone this item to allow both sides time to come to an agreement.

Dale Petersen noted he has been involved with this project and has attended all of the meetings, and felt this project is not ready to go forward. He felt it would be in the best interest of the City to postpone this item.

Guy Bjerke, Staff Vice President for the Homebuilders Association, noted he has been working on this issue for some time in an effort to come up with a resolution both parties can agree to. However, he felt the proponent had moved in a positive direction toward what labor had asked, and had removed language from the Agreement as Council had asked. He felt the sticking point they faced would not be resolved by a postponement and felt the project should move forward.

Council Member Freitas stated he has been following this issue and felt the process is unfair to all parties involved. He felt both parties are giving and taking and coming down to a final resolution, and stated he is in favor of a two-week delay. He further stated he felt City Council, as of February 1, l999, should suspend all residential growth until a public process takes place involving Council and all interested parties, to put into place parameters for further residential growth.

Council Member Sudario noted this project has many more problems than just the labor issue. She discussed the problems of traffic congestion, flood plain issues, and bond assessments related to the project. She emphasized the importance of upholding the General Plan, and stated the community needs to get involved to help fight development that does not pay it’s full share of mitigation. She further stated FUA #2 does not need residential development to attract businesses, and felt FUA #2 should be rezoned to commercial development only. She stated she would support a two-week continuance, but would not support the project as a whole.

Following comments by Jean Kuberra on the legalities the public hearing being closed, Mayor Rocha declared the public hearing open.

On motion by Council Member Sudario, seconded by Council Member Freitas, the Council unanimously continued this item to January 26, l999, the public hearing to remain open, and both parties would present their position, in writing, by 12:00 P.M., January 20, l999.

Council Member Freitas requested an item be placed on the January 26, l999 agenda recommending suspension of any new residential development effective February 1, l999 and continuing until such time as the City Council, in conjunction with the community, completes a public process to define the parameters of expectation by the City Council, development community, and local citizens for the implementation of Measure "U."

5. REQUEST FROM BFI FOR ASSIGNMENT OF FRANCHISE AGREEMENT

City Manager Ramsey presented the staff report dated January 6, l999, recommending the City Manager continue meeting with representatives of both companies and bring to the City Council a recommendation on their request within the next 45 days.

Council Member Sudario felt this should go out to bid, so Council could look at all garbage companies to ensure the people of Antioch get the best rates available. She also noted the City should be looking into a three-to five-year contract instead of a 20-year contract, as she felt it reduces the City’s leverage to negotiate with BFI.

City Attorney Galstan stated he would like to send a memo to Council regarding the legalities of transferring the contract. He noted he would get the memo out to Council prior to this issue coming back to Council for approval.

On motion by Council Member Sudario, seconded by Council Member Soliz, the Council unanimously received and filed the report.

6. CITY COUNCIL GOAL SETTING WORKSHOP FOR 1999

City Manager Ramsey presented the staff report dated January 6, l999, recommending City Council select Saturday, February 20, l999 from 8:30 A.M. until 1:00 P.M. to conduct a workshop to establish goals and priorities for the organization for fiscal year 1999/2000. He noted it is further recommended the City Manager be authorized to engage the services of Mr. Craig LaFargue as the facilitator to conduct the workshop.

Council Member Sudario felt Mr. LaFargue was not an apolitical objective facilitator. She further stated that if Mr. LaFargue were selected as the facilitator, she would not attend the workshop. She noted she would like to attend the workshop, and recommended Mayor Rocha facilitate the workshop or allow the Council to choose another facilitator they can all agree on.

Mayor Rocha stated she would like to participate in the workshop, and could not do so if she were the facilitator.

Council Member Soliz noted that Council Member Sudario did not attend last year’s workshop with Mr. LaFargue, and felt Mr. LaFargue did an effective job at last year's workshop.

Council Member Sudario stated the Council should work together, and felt her feelings for Mr. LaFargue should be taken into consideration.

On motion by Council Member Freitas, seconded by Council Member Soliz, the Council unanimously selected Saturday, February 20, l999 from 8:30 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. to conduct a workshop to establish goals and priorities for the organization for the 1999/2000 fiscal year.

NOES: Sudario

Mayor Rocha discussed some ideas that were presented to help increase community input to the commissions, such as: quarterly Block-Captain meetings; information in the water bill and on our web-site; surveys through Prewett Park; information to new residents on how to get involved in the community through school registrations. She also noted they discussed a possibility of having a "Year 2000 Happy New Year Party."
