The Principal Planner reported that pursuant to discussions with the City Attorney, it has been 6-13-83 determined that a moratorium on development of this site, pending the preparation of a Specific Plan, would be in the City's best interest for the following reasons: 1) the property is located at a major entrance to the City and on a scenic highway; 2) the site lies about ten feet below 'the finished grade of Pacific Coast Highway; 3) land directly to the north of the site is a designated wetland that must be protected; 4) the property is located at the entrance to the Hellman Specific Plan area proposed for one thousand residences; 5) all access to the site will be from Haynes Road, which ~il1 be widened and improved into an arterial highway status; 6) west of the site is a public fishing area with public access that must be main- tained; 7) that these issues should be addressed through the Specific Plan process permitting compatible development on the site; and 8) without the moratorium, development could take place which would be in conflict with the Specific Plan.

The City Manager reported that pursuant to dis- cussion during the budget workshop, the staff had met with Mr. Briggeman of Seal Beach Disposal to discuss service levels of twice versus once per week, comparing costs of the City of Los Alamitos and the Rossmoor area, we well as the practice of depositing trash at the transfer III stations or direct delivery to the dump site. Councilmember Risner, stating she is a member of the County Solid Waste Management Board, referred to testimony given to the Board by a representative of Mr. Briggeman, that trash would not be deposited at the transfer stations exclusively and that trips directly to the dump sites would become 6-13-83 I more frequent with the increase of transfer station fees, which could result in some cost saving to the City. The City Manager reported Mr. Briggeman had stated he would be disposing all trash at the transfer stations and that a report of the tonnage from Seal Beach had not as yet been received from the disposal company. The Finance Di rector clarified that the fifty-six percent increase was the transfer fee only, not the overall rubbish collection rate. Mr. Briggeman addressed the Council and verified that drop-off boxes are taken directly to the dump site, which accounts for less than ten percent of the total trash collection, and made reference to the length of time and cost of labor to go directly to the landfill. Council discussed service levels of once and twice per week, compared Rossmoor and Los Alamitos costs, as well as the estimated tonnage figure. It was pointed out that one cost saving factor to Seal Beach is that the refuse billing is done by the City. Mr. Briggeman referred to a recent report from the County of Orange addressing refuse collection and rate structure, and indicated that once a week service could be provided for $6.40 per residence versus the proposed $7.50 for twice weekly. Discussion continued. It was the consensus of the Council to hold this item over pending a report from the City Manager setting forth a cost comparison of once or twice per week trash service and the actual tonnage figures for Seal Beach trash collection.

Mr. Butler reviewed the zones which parcels within the City have been divided, explained the assessment formulae for each of the four assessment categories; 1) direct benefit street lighting; 2) general benefit street lighting and maintenance; 3) park maintenance; and 4) local street tree maintenance, noting the assessments have been spread based upon the benefit received and in compliance with the 1972 Land- scaping and Lighting Act. A member of the audience, Mr. Halldin, 635 Siver Shoals, spoke at length regarding the proposed assessment districts, expressed opposition to the equity of the assessments in proportion to benefit received, voiced objection to specifics of the Engineers Report. suggested cable franchise fees be used to offset revenues lost as a result of the winter storms, objected to funds expended for consultants, recommending staff preparation of specialized reports, recommended consideration of energy conservation measures, service and personnel savings, and questioned the expertise of those providing technical data to the city relating to the assessment districts. Discussion continued regarding parkway trees, the number of trees on a given parcel, tree replacement policies, and tree trimming schedules. Councilmember Risner expressed her objection to the assessment for local street tree maintenance and urged that it be deleted. Mr. Butler stated that the rationale of the general benefit assessment for street tree and park maintenance is that it provides an asthetic benefit to citizens throughout the city. Mayor Grgas stated for the record that the assessments would be paying the costs incurred for specific services therefore relieving General Fund monies for capital improvements that have been deferred, and referred to assessment under the 1911 or 1915 Acts which would be more costly to the property owner. A member of the audience expressed opposition to street tree maintenance assessment and inquired as to the amount of assessment in Zone 2. Mr. Butler reported that assessment of a single family residential unit in Zone 2 would be $49.24 annually, with multi-family residential based upon the number of dwelling units. Councilmember Risner moved to consider the assessment categories in three stages, I I I 6-13-83 direct benefit street lighting, general benefit street lighting and landscaping and park maintenance, and local street tree maintenance. There was no second to the motion. Discussion continued. Councilmember Risner moved to eliminate the assessment for local street tree I maintenance for a total reduction of $60,100. There was no second to the motion. Stating that the actual street tree maintenance cost is unknown at this time, Councilmember Risner moved to subsidize local street tree maintenance costs from the General Fund in the amount of $30,000. Mayor Grgas seconded the motion for discussion. Mr. Butler confirmed that the City Council has the option of making changes to the proposed assessments at this time or at the time of public hearing, noting that the notices mailed to the property owners will contain the proposed assessment fi~ures approved at this meeting. Councilmember Laszlo moved a substitute motion to waive further reading and adopt Resolution Number 3281 entitled "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH APPROVING THE ENGINEER'S "REPORT" FOR CERTAIN STREET LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPING MAINTENANCE IN I A PROPOSED STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT WITHIN SAID CITY" as presented. Councilmember Vanderstaay seconded the motion.

Vote on substitute motion to adopt Resolution Number 3281 as presented. AYES: Brownell, Grgas, Laszlo, Vanderstaay NOES: Risner Motion carried With regard to previous comments relating to the content of the Engineer's Report, Mr. Butler stated he would like to meet with the I City Attorney, review the Report, and to verify that all aspects of the "1972 Act" have been addressed.
