PRESENTATION ON POINT OF DISPENSING (POD), NOVEMBER 3, 2007: Keith Olenslager, Orange County Health Care Agency (HCA) explained that a POD was a community based site that in the event of a public health emergency such as a pandemic or a small pox outbreak, or a natural disaster such as an earthquake, flood or tsunami, where the population as a whole were in need of medications, vaccines, medical equipment or supplies, and they were supplied to them when local resources had been depleted. Mr. Olenslager advised that each year the HCA partners with cities to not only plan for, but exercise, these POD sites and that this year Aliso Viejo has assumed the task. The City has partnered with the Orange County Sheriff s Department, the Orange County Fire Authority, SOKA University, and the Cities of Laguna Niguel, Laguna Hills, and Laguna Woods to plan and prepare a site in the event a public health emergency is declared or residents in the area are in need of medical services and supplies. Mr. Olenslager announced that Soka University, along with its partners, would open on November 2 nd, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., to dispense 500 free flu shots to the public at large.

RECOGNITION AND PRESENTATION OF CERTIFICATES OF APPRECIATION TO ORANGE COUNTY SHERRIF DEPARTMENT/DISTRICT ATTORNEY PERSONNEL NOVEROLA CASE: Mayor Cave invited Lt.

Paddock invited the prosecuting attorney, Deputy District Attorney Susan Price, to come forward and give a brief overview of the case. Ms. Price related the facts of the case and noted the defendant in the case had pleaded insanity. She explained that if it were not for the investigative work done by the Sheriff s Department, the prosecution may have not been able to overcome the insanity plea. Ms. Price stated that one special investigator, Deputy Paul Wade, was present this evening and she pointed out that when a vehicle is involved in the killing of a person, he

3 CITY OF ALISO VIEJO 3 and his team gets involved in a case through collision reconstruction which is a very technical science. Ms. Price advised that not only did Deputy Wade investigate the crime, he also testified at trial and explained very technical concepts to a jury that they could understand. She expressed the opinion that without the quality and competence of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs, especially like those in Aliso Viejo, the District Attorney would not be able to get convictions like the one in the Noverola case. The Mayor, on behalf of the City Council, presented Certificates of Appreciation to Deputy District Attorney Susan Price and Orange County Deputy Sheriff Paul Wade and expressed their gratitude for a job well done.

DISCUSSION ITEMS RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING ALISO VIEJO AS A WALKABLE COMMUNITY: City Manager Mark Pulone briefed his Council Agenda Item staff report, noting that at the City Council July 18 th Workshop an update on the Community Services Department was given and Council provided direction to staff to consider programs that would make Aliso Viejo a Walkable Community, and that on September 19 th Staff reported back on some concepts that were already in place and presented some ideas that could be implemented in the future. At that meeting, Council directed Staff to prepare and submit a resolution that would designate the City as a Walkable Community. Mr. Pulone advised the proposed resolution was broad in nature and covered programs, capital improvements, and education, and if adopted, it would formalize the City s efforts in making walkability a priority and direct staff to consider walkability in all programs and projects in the future.

5 CITY OF ALISO VIEJO 5 Council Member Ficke suggested that Staff develop programs that would support the concept, like a monthly Walk to School Program, and promote the concept by educating the public about programs. The Mayor asked if anyone wished to address the City Council on the matter; hearing no response, she closed public comments. MOTION: On motion by Council Member Phillips, seconded by Council Member Ficke, the City Council adopted Resolution No entitled: RESOLUTION NO : A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCILOF THE CITY OF ALISO VIEJO, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLSHING THE CITY OF ALISO VIEJO AS A WALKABLE COMMUNITY. Roll Call Vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: CAVE, PHILLIPS, FICKE, AND TSUNODA NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: NONE ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: GARCIA MOTION CARRIED. The Mayor declared Resolution No duly passed and adopted. Mayor Cave thanked her colleagues for adopting the resolution and noted the OC in Motion group would be pleased to learn that a city in Orange County had adopted one of their policy directives, and THAT perhaps the City could also consider some of their other recommendations, like a Farmers Market concept. FOOTHILL-SOUTH EXTENSION (241 TOLL ROAD) UPDATE: City Manager Mark Pulone recalled that under Council Comments at the last City Council meeting, Staff was directed to submit an update on the proposed Foothill-South Extension. As a background, Mr. Pulone explained that on January 18, 2006, the City Council went on record as opposing the Extension, because of concerns about the alignment through a State Park. Since that time more information has surfaced and the Council composition has changed. He noted that current information received from the Transportation Corridor Agency (TCA) was included in the agenda packet, as well as a proposed resolution of support should the City Council wish to adopt one after reconsideration of the matter. Mayor Cave thanked Council Member Tsunoda for bringing the matter up and emphasized that the issue of transportation and mobility in Orange County today and well into the future, particularly along the 5 Freeway, still remains unsolved. She expressed the opinion that it was important to consider and support this type of project, noting that when the matter was originally considered by the City Council, there was

6 CITY OF ALISO VIEJO 6 some confusion during the discussion. She referred to a recent Los Angeles Times article which pointed out there were inaccuracies contained in one of the opposition s reports against The Toll Road and that certain facts were not considered. Mayor Cave advised that TCA representatives were present to clarify and explain the project. Lisa Telles, TCA, first introduced the new Chief Executive Officer of the TCA, Tom Margrow, and stated he would be present after the meeting to meet Council Members individually. Ms. Telles advised that 51 miles of the 67-mile Toll Road System are open and operational and that Aliso Viejo residents spent the second highest amount of money on the toll roads than any other city in the system. She explained that there are 2000 acres of land set aside in association with building the toll roads for environmental programs, to protect and preserve wetlands, coastal sage shrub, and different habitat systems as part of the toll road system. Ms. Telles made a Power Point presentation. She pointed to a map displayed that showed the current termination of the 241 near Coto de Caza. She explained the TCA conducted a six-year analysis on the projected 60 percent increase in traffic by the year 2025 at the South County line, working with the Federation Highway Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, CalTrans, Department of Fish and Game, and Camp Pendelton. Ms. Telles advised that during their studies the following alternatives were determined: Widen the I-5 Freeway beginning at the 73 Freeway, construct alignments connecting off of the end of the 241 to connect to the I-5 Freeway, and improve arterials. She noted that environmental and biological studies were also conducted to address the future traffic. Ms. Telles reported that in February 2006, the Foothill Eastern Board of Directors chose the green alignment as the one that best addressed the traffic needs with the least impact and was the best practical alternative. She advised that the resource agencies involved also agreed. She pointed out that the alignment ran along Camp Pendelton and would not impact military operations and it would not require the taking of any homes or businesses. Ms. Telles advised that extensive environmental studies had been conducted on the alignment, avoiding and identifying the most sensitive part of the habitat areas, including the habitat of the Pacific Pocket Mouse. Ms. Telles advised that by the Year 2025, it is projected that the traffic time from Oso Parkway to the County line traveling south to San Diego would be 60 minutes and that with the proposed alternative route alignment, it woule be 25 minutes. Ms. Telles advised that the San Onofre State Park leasehold is located along the edge of Camp Pendelton. She explained that when the State was granted a 50-year lease for one dollar, it was understood that the Marines had the right to grant easements through the leasehold. She pointed out that 95 percent of the people who visit San Onofre State Park go to the coastal unit of the Park and that the portion of the Park through which the alignment would run, was inland from the I-5 Freeway. She emphasized that Tressle Beach and the surround surfing areas which constitutes the coastal unit of the Park would not be changed and that the alignment was one-half mile from that area. Ms. Telles advised that the TCA has made an offer to the State to provide funds for

7 CITY OF ALISO VIEJO 7 improvements to nearby parks in the area, since the State Park is a leasehold interest which expires in Ms. Telles advised that the Board of Directors had certified the Environment Impact Report in 2006 when they selected the green alignment. She reported that the project was to be heard by the Coastal Commission next week, but it had been postponed until February In conclusion, Ms. Telles stated numerous permits are required for the alignment, that they are seriously moving ahead to secure them, that the Board of Directors and Staff are committed to the reality of the need to handle and manage the traffic and growth expected in South Orange County, and to insure that the quality of life as it is today continues and that we are not just stuck in traffic. Ms. Telles encouraged the City Council to reconsider the Foothill-South Extension (241 Toll Road). Council Member Tsunoda commented how bad traffic was last weekend when he traveled the I-5 South to Miramar for the Air Show. He believed that the Extension was a good one for Aliso Viejo residents, visitors, and businesses, but understood there were some concerns about other mitigating factors such as the I-5 expansion. Council Member Tsunoda stated he was fundamentally against using Eminent Domain for the expansion of the I-5 Freeway and preferred the alternative, the Foothill-South Extension which would be instrumental in maintaining the quality of life of residents and would be good for businesses. Council Member Ficke asked how funding occurs to support development of the 241 into a transportation corridor system (TCS) and were there timing issues associated with that that the Council should be aware. He also asked if there was any potential for compromise with all parties involved or was it an environmental vs eliminating traffic congestion issue. Lisa Telles advised that financing of the Extension would be through the issuance of revenue bonds and delay of the project was a serious issue. She advised that it is estimated that $3 million is added to the construction and materials cost of the project each month. Ms. Telles explained that it would be 2010 before bonds would be issued, given the need to obtain various permits from agencies and the timing of the TCS and potential acquisition of the project. Ms. Telles stated that the analysis and technical expertise of many people show the proposed alignment addresses environmental and traffic issues. Council Member Ficke questioned a recent situation on the Foothill-South Extension involving Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez. Mayor Cave clarified that Congresswoman Sanchez has supported the Toll Road System for many years, has been a proponent of the project, and was currently working with the TCA and Supervisor Campbell to address outstanding issues. She stated that Congresswoman Davis from San Diego is attempting to add rider language relating to the military to the Bill funding the project. Council Member Ficke stated he has been associated with TCA for many years and moving people around the area is of primary importance to him as it should be for

8 CITY OF ALISO VIEJO 8 everyone. He stated along with extended commutes comes air pollution and other issues and expressed the desire to see the Extension completed. Mayor Pro Tem Phillips stated that originally he opposed the Extension because of the State Park issue and he did not have enough information as to what the TCA was proposing currently. Mayor Pro Tem Phillips further stated he was not opposed to the project, but was philosophically opposed to going through a State Park because of the precedent it would set. He explained that he moved to the area about the time the Y was being improved and he is sitting in the same traffic today. Mayor Pro Tem Phillips stated he heard that the State has realized that they need to put land use and transportation dollars together to solve the issues. He stated he believed that roads alone will not solve the traffic problem and that the City needs to address the housing and jobs issues together. Addressing the point raised by the Mayor Pro Tem relating to whether or not one city could make a difference, Mayor Cave stated that as a member of the Toll Road Board, she believed it important as a region to address traffic issues, and certainly it was South Orange County who not only assumes the responsibility for trying to make it work, but takes responsibility for what is going on in our area. Mayor Cave stated that although dollars may not come back to a particular community, it is important regionally to make the system work so other projects, like the 73 Freeway are more financially sound. Mayor Cave stated she believed that the Foothill-South Extension and the completion of the system would finish the Master Plan of Arterial Highways and other Plans that were made for the development that has occurred. For informational purposes, she pointed out that The Ranch Plan in Mission Viejo was approved without the caveat that the Foothill-South Extension had to be completed, and she could not say don t build it because she knows what the impact of The Ranch would be on the transportation system. Mayor Cave stated the TCA has information available about the State Park issue and that their Staff would be happy to discuss it with any interested party. In conclusion, Mayor Cave expressed the opinion that if the goal was to relieve congestion, improve air quality, and enhance the quality of life for the people living in the region, then the Foothill-South Extension project was the answer. Mayor Cave asked if anyone wished to address the City Council on the matter; hearing no response, she closed public comment. MOTION: On motion by Council Member Tsunoda, seconded by Council Member Cave, the City Council adopted the following entitled resolution supporting the Foothill- South Extension (241) project. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ALISO VIEJO, CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FOOTHILL SOUTH EXTENSION (241) WITH THE CURRENT APPROVED ALIGNMENT. Council Member Ficke asked the maker of the motion to include in the resolution that if the TCA considers an alternate route that does not pass through the State Park and

9 CITY OF ALISO VIEJO 9 determines it to be more feasible, that the City Council support the change. Council Member Tsunoda and Mayor Cave concurred. AMENDED MOTION: On motion by Council Member Tsunoda, seconded by Council Member Cave, the City Council adopted the following entitled resolution supporting the completion of the Foothill-South Extension (241) project. Mayor Cave pointed out that to be consistent with the amended motion, that in the body of the resolution, the Now Therefore section would read that the City Council supports the completion of the 241 Toll Road and the remainder of that section would be deleted. RESOLUTION NO : A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ALISO VIEJO, CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING THE COMPLETION OF THE FOOTHILL SOUTH EXTENSION (241). Mayor Pro Tem Phillips reiterated that he needs more information about the State Park before he could support the resolution. Mayor Cave offered to have TCA Staff contact him, and Mayor Pro Tem Phillips responded that he just needed the information so he could make his own judgment. Roll Call Vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: CAVE, FICKE, AND TSUNODA NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: PHILLIPS ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: GARCIA MOTION CARRIED. The Mayor declared Resolution No duly passed and adopted. COMMUNITY INPUT Mayor Cave asked if anyone wished to address the City Council at this time on any matter within the jurisdiction of the City Council; there was no response, and she closed public comment. CITY MANAGER S REPORT 1. City Manager Mark Pulone advised that at the last meeting the City Council authorized Staff to move forward with a community mailing notifying residents of the proposed Postsal Distribution Center project and the community meeting scheduled for October 22, 2007, 7:00 p.m., at TechSpace. He stated that the mailing reached most of the homes yesterday and numerous letters in opposition were sent by residents to the United States Postal Service with carbon copies to the City.

10 CITY OF ALISO VIEJO City Manager Mark Pulone advised that since the last update on the ad hoc meeting with the Capistrano Unified School District, he met with the Interim Superintendent to further discuss the concept of joint use.

He offered to make a motion, if appropriate. City Attorney Scott Smith advised that to consider the matter this date, certain findings would be necessary, that the need to take action arose subsequent to the posting of the agenda and the item cannot wait for consideration at a future meeting. Council Member Tsunoda requested clarification of the request, was it to direct Staff to send a letter on behalf of the City Council to neighboring cities requesting additional opposition to the Postal Service Center. Mayor Cave pointed out that a letter was sent to neighboring cities informing them of the October 22 nd forum and inviting them to attend to learn more information, and that perhaps at that time or in the future, the cities could be asked for their support in opposition to the project. Council Member Ficke reminded the City Council that the comment period on the environmental assessment document ends on October 31 st, and that time was of

11 CITY OF ALISO VIEJO 11 Phillips the essence. He was desirous of seeking their support immediately so that they could send letters timely to the USPS. Council Member Ficke stated he believed that the USPS project was the biggest challenge to the City since the Airport, and it was incumbent upon them to use all resources to fight the project. MOTION: On motion by Council Member Ficke, seconded by Council Member Tsunoda, the City Council determined that the need to take action arose subsequent to the posting of the agenda and that the matter cannot wait for consideration at a future meeting, and added the matter to the agenda.
