1. PUBLIC COMMENT FROM THE AUDIENCE
Please refer to public comment guidelines on the first page of this document.
2. PUBLIC HEARING
A. Public Hearing: To Consider Recommended Expenditures of Citizen's Option for
Public Safety (COPS) Funds
In 1996, the California Legislature approved AB 3229 (Brulte) allocating $100 million
additional funding for local public safety services. Since that time the program has been
renewed and extended. State law requires that these expenditures be reviewed annually
and that a public hearing be held on the proposed spending. Attached is a recommended
spending plan for the funds.
Recommendation: That the City Council conduct the required public hearing and
approve the appropriation of the Citizen's Option for Public Safety (COPS) funds per the
recommendations contained in the Sheriffs Department report.
3. CONSENT CALENDAR
A. Resolution No. 2006-26 Claims and Demands
Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 2006-26, for payment of City expenditures in the
amount of $348,909.61 demands 54517 through 54629.
Adoption of Resolution No. 2006-25 Adopting the National Incident Management
System (NIMS)
The Federal Department of Homeland Security requires the adoption of the National
Incident Management System (NIMS), to be eligible to receive 2006 Homeland Security
Grant Program Funds. Adoption of this Resolution will meet that requirement.
Recommendation: That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2006-25 adopting the
National Incident Management System (NIMS).

C. Parks & Recreation Department Capital Improvement Plan, Fiscal Year 2006-2007
As part of this year's budget process, staff originally submitted a list of parks and recreation
related capital improvement projects that totaled $809,770.
The City Council appropriated that amount from the City's unallocated general fund
reserves and directed staff to develop a prioritized listing of capital improvement projects
for funding this fiscal year,
Recommendation: That the City Council approve the Capital Improvement Plan for
2006-2007.
D. Health Benefit Cost Savings Option
The City currently pays the entire cost of any health insurance plan selected by full-time
employees, and also pays the entire cost of Kaiser HMO health insurance coverage for
permanent part-time employees.
According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, health insurance premiums increased an
average of around 12.2% per year between 2000 and 2005. This independent study is
reflective of the City's experience with escalating health care costs. In fact, three of the
four health insurance programs offered by the City will experience cost increases of
between 12.5% to 13.8%, effective January 2007.
In an effort to control health care costs while continuing to provide employees with health
insurance benefits, the City can establish an optional health benefit cost savings program
for employees. Under this program, employees can choose to take no action and continue
to receive the current health insurance benefit offered by the City. However, if an
employee could demonstrate health insurance coverage through another source, that
individual could then elect to take a fixed dollar amount in place of the health insurance
benefit cost.
Recommendation: That the City Council approve Resolution No. 2006-16 establishing a
health care benefit cost savings option.
E. Release of Bond - Parcel Map 60795; 8828 Ramona Boulevard
A Faithful Performance Bond and a Labor and Material Bond were required to guarantee
installation of survey monuments for Parcel Map 60795. In lieu of bonds, a Cash Deposit
was issued to the City in the amounts of $7,000.
Recommendation: That the City Council accept the survey monuments and refund the
Cash Deposit including interest.
