Community Facilities District No. 2003-1 - Citrus Plaza - Municipal Utilities <br />Director Phelps reported the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors has <br />approved various action required to form a Community Facilities District (CFD) <br />for the Citrus Plaza Project. In order to complete the documents for the CFD to <br />issue bonds, the County and City need to have an agreement that the City <br />consents to the establishment of the CFD and allows for the City to accept <br />future ownership and transfer of title of the specified improvements which either <br />have been and will be installed by the developer, Redlands Joint Venture, LLC, <br />and acknowledges fees payable to the City by the developer for water and sewer <br />service. The CFD will finance public infrastructure costs including water, <br />sewer, and other public improvements for the Citrus Plaza Project, Phase I and <br />I1, within the unincorporated area known as the "Donut Hole." Emil Marzullo, <br />Director of the County Special Districts Department, was present to answer any <br />questions. Councilmember Gilbreath moved to approve the joint community <br />facilities financing agreement with the County of San Bernardino for water and <br />sewer, facilities and fees, related to the Citrus Plaza Project. Motion seconded <br />by Councilmember Peppler and carried unanimously. <br />Smoking Prohibition - Public Works Director Mutter reported the Parks <br />Commission, on March 13, 2003, discussed an item regarding tobacco -free <br />areas in parks in the vicinity of playgrounds and sports fields. The item was <br />presented by the American Cancer Society Clubs at Redlands High School and <br />Redlands East Valley High School. The Parks Commission supported the <br />request and recommended the City Council initiate action to prepare the <br />appropriate ordinance. Urging the City Council to approve this <br />recommendation were: Ann Davis -Schultz from the American Cancer Society <br />and Coalition for Tobacco Free County; students from the American Cancer <br />Society Clubs: Srikanth Krishnan, Jessica Kanady, Steven Kim, Carlene E. <br />Henriques; Judy Dods, Advisor for the Redlands High School American Cancer <br />Society Club; representing the SADD Club Kristen Framer, Lauren Donaldson <br />and Carolyn Kim; Kaitlyn Mazzei, a student from Loma Linda Junior High <br />School representing Tobacco Use Reduction Now; and Kay Adkins, San <br />Bernardino County Department of Public Health for Tobacco Use Reduction <br />Now. Kenneth Hunt commended the students for getting involved in <br />government but expressed concerns against the proposal which he felt was <br />based on "big brother mentality" and asked Councilmembers "where do we <br />stop?" Councilmembers discussed at length the boundary distance 25 feet <br />versus 50 feet versus 100 feet and commended this issue back to staff for study <br />and recommendation. Councilmember Peppler moved to direct staff to prepare <br />the appropriate ordinance for the prohibition of smoking in City parks within the <br />vicinity of playgrounds, sports fields, and Community Field. Motion seconded <br />by Councilmember George and carried unanimously. City Attorney McHugh <br />promised the proposed ordinance would be presented at the May 6, 2003, City <br />Council meeting. <br />April 15, 2003 <br />Page 4 <br />
