STUDY SESSION
(City Council/Redevelopment Agency) Study Session #1 Held - Status of the City Hall Seismic
Upgrade. Presentation included a discussion about the current construction progress, the cost
and cause for delays and the options available for completing the project.
City Administrator Fred Wilson introduced Ross Cranmer, Director of Building and Safety.
Director Cranmer made a PowerPoint presentation entitled Status: City Hall Seismic Upgrade
that depicted the north, east, south and west elevations of the Civic Center, provided cost
information for hazardous material remediation, and examples of the south and west elevations
with and without cladding.
Director Cranmer responded to inquires made by Councilmember Coerper and Mayor Pro Tern
Green about the pouring of concrete and design of cladding/steel bracing.
Councilmember Dwyer questioned if muffed spacing was the cause of a project delay. Director
Cranmer described discovery of hazardous material that caused the project to stop on June 8,
2008, and discussed remediation by the DTSC and an approximate cost of $1,450,000
to remove hazardous material. Councilmember Carchio questioned the contractor's
construction management responsibilities.
Discussion ensued on final costs to complete the project. Director Cranmer described cost
options to proceed with the project as designed with cladding, or without to save approximately
$295,000.
(City Council) Study Session #2 Held - Special Events Report. The City's consultant presented
an overview of recommendations resulting from an analysis of existing events and
recommended opportunities to further strengthen the City's special events process. The special
events study is part of the Downtown Specific Plan.
James Lights, Vice President with IMG Consulting, made a PowerPoint presentation entitled
Event Marketing Study, Summary Findings and Recommendations. The presentation provided
an overview of the following information: Event Marketing Study (primary objectives,
methodology, type of events); Specific Events Committee - Existing (primary discussion point,
current make up); Existing Events Approval Process; Events Executive Committee
(recommendation, structure & process, participants, duties); Events Approval Process; Event
Criteria; Specific Events Committee (SEC); and Recommendations.
Councilmember Hardy questioned if having a rotating Mayor as a liaison would restrict the
committee's progress. The consultant discussed the value of title recognition, and clarified that
Council may consider the most appropriate members as liaisons. Councilmember Coerper
recommended the three committee liaisons be the Past Mayor, Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem.
Councilmember Coerper also questioned why an Executive Events Committee (EEC) is
necessary. Consultant Lights discussed the possibility of expert stakeholders missing in the
current process, and elaborated on tourism and economic development. He also clarified the
types of decisions made by both the SEC and EEC.

Stanley Smalewitz, Director of Economic Development, described the types of interest the City
receives from a variety of promoters, and why a process is needed to implement Council
vision. Councilmember Carchio suggested developing criteria before developing the committee
to prevent loss of time and money. Director Smalewitz explained how the proposal gives
Council a chance to evaluate events on the front end.
Councilmember Coerper voiced concerns about outside entities collecting fees for large scale
events, not the City, and reiterated his liaison recommendation to participate with staff
representatives from the Economic Development and Community Service departments.
Councilmember Dwyer made reference to the City of Anaheim who uses a similar process for
event planning.
Councilmember Hardy and Director Smalewitz discussed why this specialty committee would
operate better on its own, rather than be integrated into the functions of the existing downtown
Economic Development Committee (EDC). Councilmember Hardy stated support for appointing
three Councilmembers who express an interest to serve on the committee. Mayor Pro Tern
Green stressed the importance of ensuring that representatives will be able to meet other
standing commitments. Councilmember Carchio also stated support for liaisons being selected
for interest and creativity, not title.
Mayor Bohr expressed support for flexibility when establishing the appointment of Council
liaisons.
