ITEMS WITHDRAWN FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR: (102) 2. AB /I8850 - Supplement 82 - PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR RANCHO SANTA FE ROAD TRUCK BY PASS. Council Member Kulchin asked for this item to be withdrawn from the Consent Calendar to receive more information about the alternate truck route. She had asked staff to prepare graphics to illustrate the bypass. Assistant City Manager Frank Mannen used a transparency to show the proposed bypass and stated the concern of staff had been for safety in the transition areas, going from the existing road to the bypass and back again to the existing road. Mr. Mannen stated the County Board of Supervisors had approved the agreement providing funds for the construction of the bypass on Rancho Santa Fe Road. Mr. Mannen said great care had been taken to plan the bypass and the plans had been reviewed. Signing would be in accordance with CalTran's standards and there would be a total of 22 additional signs installed for the bypass. Also, some of the existing signs would be relocated. Mr. Mannen discussed the added bid alternative which incorporated the installation of a truck inspection lane for the Carlsbad Police Department. Police Chief 3imno answered questions regarding the truck inspection lane. Council Member Kulchin mentioned the 293 citations on Rancho Santa Fe Road and asked what they were for. Police Chief 3imno stated the majority of them were for speeding. He added in December, 78 citations were given on Rancho Santa Fe Road for speeding. I 30 7 - (39) 0 0 January 27, 1987 MINUTES Page 5 ~~~ ITEMS WITHDRAWN FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR: (continued) Council Member Kulchin suggested publishing the names of those ticketed for speeding on Levante Street. Mayor Lewis stated it should apply to all areas of the City, not just on Levante Street. Council Members Pettine and Mamaux stated they had problems with that proposal. Mayor Lewis asked about the traffic signals to be installed. 3ohn Cahill, Senior Management Analyst, stated the Rancho Santa Fe Road and Calle Barcelona signal will be installed by the developer at the conclusion of the improvements of Rancho Santa Fe Road next year. The other two intersections, Melrose and Cadencia, have traffic studies being done with a report to be returned shortly. A motion was made to start publishing the names of persons receiving speeding citations in the City of Carlsbad, starting the month of February. The motion failed due to the lack of a majority. Council adopted the following Resolution: RESOLUTION NO. 8942, APPROVING PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS, APPROPRIATING FUNDS AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY CLERK TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE RANCHO SANTA FE ROAD TRUCK BYPASS, CONTRACT NO. 3261. 3. AB 88009 - Supplement 83 - REVISED INVESTMENT POLICY. Council Member Mamaux asked this item be withdrawn from the Consent Calendar as he felt Item No. 3 would be better coupled with Item No. 23, the report on City Investments. Council Member Mamaux wanted to point out to the public the City was allowing the Treasurer to make investments up to 10% of the portfolio for IO years or more. He wanted the public to know at least 67% of the portfolio would be invested in instruments with maturities of less than one year from the current date. Council Member Mamaux requested to have a written policy on the transfer of interfunds and what interest rate the City charges on those interfunds. He felt those interest rates should be a variable rate. City Manager Frank Aleshire stated the Treasurer's job is to invest the City's funds. As to the issue raised by Council Member Mamaux as to what interest the City charges itself when they loan money, there is a policy that each individual fund loan comes before Council and Council determines the rate of interest. In the past, the Redevelopment Area was charged 10%.

He requested staff to return with a report on establishing a policy. City Treasurer Esterline called attention to the fact that the 67% to be invested in instruments of less than one year would be at least 67%. According to the policy, it could be higher. Finance Director 3im Elliott asked Council's permission to return with a report on the questions raised tonight. I Council adopted the following Resolution: RESOLUTION NO. 8943, REVISING THE em's INVESTMENT POLICY. I ORDINANCES FOR ADOPTION: (78) 12.

Julia Quinn, Environmental Management Specialist 111, County of San Diego, 5555 Overland Avenue, San Diego, explained Exhibit C attached to the Agenda Bill, the draft of the San Diego County Regional Solid Waste Management Plan as revised in 1986. She stated there is a twelve-year capacity left in the region, with new landfills being proposed, inasmuch as they are badly needed. I a8 ~ Lewis Kulchin Pet t ine Mamaux X Lewis Kulchin Pettine X Mamaux Lewis Kulchin Mamaux Pettine X 0 e MINUTES January 27, 1987 Page 7 PUBLIC HEARING: (continued) Council Member Pettine asked about mitigation fees for the roads where the trucks have damaged the roads and asked whether the Plan addressed the issue. Assistant City Manager Frank Mannen stated this has been discussed with the County and San Marcos. The trash industry recognized the siting of landfills in the future will have one important issue, and that will be the route to the landfill. There should be a cost factor included as far as the mitigation for damage due to truck routes and that will be part of the decision. The future landfills, hopefully, will avoid local streets and use interstate highways. Council Member Pettine questioned whether that should be included as part of the Regional Waste Management Plan, and Mr. Mannen agreed that would be a proper comment. Ms. Quinn stated she would forward Council comments to the Board of Supervisors. Mayor Lewis opened the public hearing at 6:48 p.m., and issued the invitation to speak. Since no one wished to speak on this item, the public hearing was closed. Council Member Pettine stated he would prefer to defer action on this Resolution to include some of the comments made tonight in the County Plan and bring this back for approval. Council Member Kulchin concurred and added she had received a letter from North County Concerned Citizens who are opposed to the solid waste recycling, and desire to come before Council to give a presentation. Council Members stated they wished to have their comments before the Board of Supervisors and other cities for their action and consideration. Ms. Quinn stated when they receive comments they send a letter to all incorporated cities noting those comments. If the cities wish to take action on those comments, they may. Council continued the approving of the draft update of the Regional Solid Waste Management Plan for 60 days to allow Council comments to be sent to the County and North County cities.

Council Member Mamaux suugested that the PFF fund used for the purchase of a library site should come from the entire city, and not just the La Costa area since La Costa assumed the bonded indebtedness for the existing library when they annexed. r,/ 0 0 MINUTES ;January 27, 1987 Page 9 JOINT MEETING WITH LIBRARY BOARD OF DIRECTORS: (continued) (58) Girard Anear, 1728 Calavo Court, addressed Council, stating the Alga Norte Park site had been previously agreed upon as the site for a library. He felt this would be an ideal site for a library, coordinated with the park, and the joint use would be more appropriate than putting the library in a shopping center. Mr. Lange stated lack of access to the Alga Norte area was one of the problems confronting the committee choosing a library site. Also, the allocation for a library at the Alga Norte site was two and one half acres. This would not be enough space for a library, as six acres is needed. Council directed staff to continue negotiations for the acquisition of one of the five recommended sites and/or developer proposals to build and lease back a library facility. Mayor Lewis stated he would like to hold the financing element over until there has been a determination of the site. RECESS: Mayor Lewis declared a recess at 7:52 p.m., and Council reconvened at 8:O3 p.m., with all Members present. DEPARTMENTAL AND CITY MANAGER REPORTS: 19. AB 118868 - SCRIPPS MMORIAL HOSPITAL PLAN. Marty Orenyak, Community Development Director, gave the staff report as contained in the Agenda Bill. Council Member Pettine stated he felt allowing the processing of this project concurrent with the Facilities Management Plan would violate the Growth Management Plan, which requires the zone plan to be done first. Mayor Lewis inquired whether this would create a conflict with other applicants, and Mr. Orenyak stated there have been numerous requests, but because of the uniqueness of this project, it would make sense to process concurrently. James Leary, architect, 11545 Sorrento Valley Road, representing Scripps Memorial Hospital, stated this project has been in the planning stages since 1985, and is a complex project that could not be processed separately. He stated it would be counterproductive to pull these apart and deal with them separately. He stated they were not asking for special treatment. This was a commercial project that was in process prior to the adoption of the Growth Management Ordinance. I A/- 7 Lewis Kulchin X Pettine Mamaux 0 e MINUTES 3anuary 27, 1987 Page 10 DEPARTMENTAL AND CITY MANAGER REPORTS: (continued) Council Member Pettine stated he was not opposed to Scripps, but felt this was the first item under the new Growth Management Ordinance and Council was being asked to deviate from the letter of the Law. The zone plan should be done first and the processing of the project second, and he hoped Council would enforce the Ordinance that way. Council Member Pettine stated he would like to have the record clear that he was not asking Scripps to do a residential zone plan. They could work on a residential plan and an alternative plan for the zone by itself. Council approved Scripps Hospital's request to process their application for a hospital in conjunction with the preparation of a Local Facilities Management Plan. (68) 20. AB W8869 - CONVENTION AND VISITORS BUREAU MID- YEAR REPORT. Craig Severson, Manager, Carlsbad Convention and Visitors Bureau, gave a detailed report of the highlights of the last two years' activities by the Carlsbad Convention and Visitors Bureau.
