U
SUBJECT: Real estate appraisal services - Morlan Place Proiect
Recommendation: Authorize the Executive Director to increase the
amount of the Professional Services Agreement with Mason & Mason for
real estate appraisal services in a not to exceed amount of $15,000
SUMMARY
The Agency is currently in negotiations with property owners for a possible 3.6 acre
expansion to the east of the Rusnak/Arcadia Mercedes Benz dealership. The Agency
obtained initial real estate appraisals in 2002 and 2003 for all five parcels and updated
real estate appraisals in 2005 for Rod's Grill and the Arcadia Self Storage parcels only.
In order to continue negotiations with the remaining property owners, updated real
estate appraisais may be required.
Mason & Mason has prepared all real estate appraisals to date. Staff recommends that
they continue to provide these services for consistency reasons and that they are able
to provide them at a lower rate because they have all relevant back-up information to
complete the updates.
ENVIRONMENTALIMPACT
None
FISCAL IMPACT
This $15,000 increase can be applied towards the $8 million total Agency contribution to
the Morlan Place Project as approved in the Land Assembly and Disposition Agreement
with Mr. Rusnak in January 2005.

SUBJECT: Affordable housinct advisorv services
Recommendation: Authorize the Executive Director to increase the
amount of the Professional Services Agreement with Keyser Marston
Associates for affordable housing advisory services in the amount not to

SUMMARY
On November 19, 2002, the Agency Board approved a Professional Services
Agreement with Keyser Marston Associates for $25,000 to analyze the requests for
financial assistance submitted for various housing projects in the City.
Due to increased affordable housing activity over the last several years, an additional
$25,000 is needed to pay for Keyser Marston Associates' consulting services.
Therefore, staff recommends that the Agency Board authorize the Executive Director to
increase the existing Professional Services Agreement with Keyser Marston Associates
in the amount of $25,000 for affordabie housing consulting services.
DISCUSSION
Keyser Marston Associates Inc., a Los Angeles based firm, is experienced in analyzing
requests for financial assistance for housing projects. The principal assigned to
Arcadia, Ms. Kathe Head, is a recognized expert in the state on affordable housing.
Staff has used Ms. Head previously for advice on Habitat for Humanity, AB 637, the
Arcadia Heritage Park and the Alta Street projects, and general advice on affordable
housing issues. She and her staff are very familiar with Arcadia, the redevelopment
project area, and our housing needs and concerns.

AGENDA ITEM PUBLIC COMMENTS
Christopher Sutton appeared to speak opposing the Redevelopment Agency's use of eminent
domain.
Steve Deitsch, City Attorney, responded to Mr. Sutton's comments as requested by the Mayor;
he noted that as the Redevelopment Agency's counsel, the issues raised by Mr. Sutton were
without merit; that Mr. Sutton's assertions regarding a need for a Grand Jury investigation
regarding the disposition and development agreement entered into between the Redevelopment
Agency and the Rusnak/Mercedes dealership are without merit; however, the Redevelopment
Z OS-02-2006

Agency will fully cooperate if asked by the Grand Jury; and finally, as to Mr. Sutton's references
to the Rusnak/Chrysler dealership currently located in Pasadena, that particular dealership has
no relationship to the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency or to the City of Arcadia, and it is the
Rusnak/Mercedes dealership in Arcadia alone that is the subject of the current agreement.

during the Council Meeting were strictly to assist the City Clerk in maintaining an accurate public
record of the meetings - they are not being used to "stifle" public comment; he noted that

might be a maintenance fee associated with the use of their athletic fields and facilities
by outside organizations. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City
Manager to renew the Joint Use and Maintenance Agreement with the School District
for shared use and maintenance of nine (9) facilities as described in Exhibits "A", "B",

for the Tra~c Signal Modification Santa Anita Avenue and Campus Drive
project
SUMMARY
As part of the City's on going traffic signal modification program, the Development
Services Department prepared a tra~c signal pole and mast arm inventory and
replacement list. From the inventory and replacement list, staff has selected the
intersection of Santa Anita Avenue and Campus Drive as the highest priority. A location
map of the project area is attached for reference.
The project was advertised and bids were opened on April 18, 2006. Oak Engineering,
Inc. submitted the successful low bid in the amount of $49,840. Staff recommends that
the City Council award a contract for the Traffic Signal Modification at Santa Anita
Avenue and Campus Drive to Oak Engineering, Inc.
BACKGROUND
In the 2002-03 fiscal year, staff undertook an inventory of all traffic signals to identify
poles and mast arms needing replacement. Several intersections were found to be
equipped with old poles and mast arms, most with old brace supports that have reached
their usefui life. The mast arms will not support additional features such as traffic signs
and street name signs. Staff developed a list of locations for a replacement program.

SUMMARY
As part of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Housing
Rehabilitation program, the City must retain a consultant that will implement and
oversee the program in accordance with HUD requirements.
The City sent the request for proposal (RFP) to 14 firms. Five (5) firms
responded to the RFP.

DISCUSSION
On March 6, 2006, the Development Services Department sent a request for proposal
(RFP) to fourteen (14) firms or individuals to bid on the management of the housing
rehabilitation program.
The perspective applicants were asked to prepare bids based on the construction and
financial management of the program. Also, the job qualifications required the
applicants to have experience in administering Community Development Block Grant
housing programs and work experience with the Los Angeles Community
Development Commission. The contract will be for a three-year period starting July 1,
2006 and ending June 30, 2009.
A total of five (5) responses to the RFP were received and bidders are listed
below:
^ AmeriNational Community Services, Inc.
• Comprehensive Housing Services, Inc.
^ Frank Hernandez
• LDM Associates
^ Willdan
Staff evaluated the proposals based on experience, references,
comprehensiveness, costs and responsiveness to the scope of work as set forth
in the RFP.
In reviewing the proposals, the Development Services Department believes that
Comprehensive Housing Services, Inc. would be the most qualified consultant
based on experience and cost of services in addressing the City's needs and
requirements. Comprehensive Housing Services, Inc. has provided similar
services to the cities of Hemet, Irvine, South Gate and the County of Ventura.
For fiscal year 2006-2007, the City has set aside $395,802 in CDBG funds for
Housing Rehabilitation. This amount includes funds to administer the program.
The maximum amount allotted per household is $12,000 for rehabilitation
services. It is estimated that based on overall grants and costs for administering
the program the City could assist 25 households.
Because the Housing Rehabilitation Program is an ongoing program, staff is
recommending that the City participate in a three-year contract with
Comprehensive Housing Services, Inc.

FROM: Tracey Hause, Administrative Services Direc
Submitted by: Jan Steese, Purchasing O~cer
SUBJECT: Extension of the contract with The Workshoo~ Yil June 30 2007
for citvwide printinq services
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
In March 2002, the City Council authorized the approval of a three (3) year
agreement with the option to renew for two (2) additional one-year periods with
The Workshop for citywide printing services. In June 2005, the City Council
authorized the approval of a one (1) year contract extension with The Workshop
in the amount of $220,000.00.
DISCUSSION
Staff is satisfied with The Workshop's services and would like to continue using
them for the City's printing needs. Staff would recommend that the contract be
extended for an additional 3 months as expiration of the contract will then
coincide with the City's fiscal year end. If approved, this extension will be valid
from this date through and including June 30, 2007. As a result of the contract
extension, staff is suggesting an additional $30,000.00 be added to the prior year
expenditures because of the extended contract term. Staff anticipates soliciting
new proposals for printing services next spring. By utililizing one vendor for all
printing services confusion in processes have been eliminated, and familiarity
and continuity of style allows for consistency in forms and supplies throughout
the City.

operating budget. It is anticipated that the costs will be an estimated
$250,000.00, including any increased paper costs and/or higher delivery charges
as a result of gas prices.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending that the City Council:
Approve a contract extension for citywide printing services until
June 30, 2007 for an amount not to exceed $250,000.00.

SUBJECT:
SUMMARY
Approve
It is recommended the City Council approve the new classification specifications and
compensation level for the position of Fire Marshal. ,
BACKGROUND
The Fire DepartmenYs Fire Prevention Bureau presently consists of a Deputy Fire
Marshal, a Fire Inspector, a part time Administrative Assistant, and temporary interns
and volunteers. The Deputy Fire Marshal has some oversight responsibility for the Fire
Prevention Bureau and reports to a Battalion Chief assigned to the Bureau.
With potential for large-scale development projects currently under review by the City,
the Fire Prevention Bureau has already experienced an increase in workload.
Furthermore, there is a greater need for the Bureau to be in attendance at meetings
held during regular work hours. The current organizational structure calls for a Fire
Battalion Chief having responsibility for the Bureau; however, the 24-hour shift work
schedule of the Battalion Chief is not conducive to effective operations within the Fire
Prevention Bureau. Furthermore, it prevents other City Departments from having
readily available access to a Fire Marshal during regular work hours. The different work
schedule of the Battalion Chief also contributes to a delay in communication within the
Bureau and among other City Departments during the days that the Battalion Chief is
not scheduled to work.
The creation of a civilian Fire Marshal will allow a full-time person assigned to a 40-hour
workweek, who has the specialized Fire Prevention knowledge and experience to be
Mayor and City Council
May 2, 2006
Page 2 of 2
assigned to the Fire Prevention Bureau. This position will ensure continuity and
consistency of information flow between project designers, contractors, and the Fire
Department. Furthermore, this management position will be able to provide closer daily
supervision of the Prevention Bureau personnel and enhance opportunities for career
advancement, staff development and training. A dedicated civilian Fire Marshal will
relieve the current Fire Battalion Chief of his Fire Prevention sta~ng duties, thus
allowing him to address other administrative needs of the Fire Department. It is
recommended this position be placed at Salary Range Number 74 M($5,829-$7,280
per month).
FISCAL IMPACT
Staff anticipates the net cost to the General Fund at approximately $11,000 annually.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the new classi£cation specifications and compensation level for Fire
Marshal in the Fire Department.

TO: Mayor and Gity Council
FROM: Don Penman, Assistant City Manager/Development Services Directo~
SUBJECT: Reauest from Methodist Hospital to place banners on street liaht poles
Recommendation: Provide direction
SUMMARY
Methodist Hospital has requested permission to install temporary banners on City sfreet
light poles adjacent to #he hospital to inform their employees and the public about their
construction progress at the hospital. The City Code provides that signs/banners that
involve or commemorate a singular event of a nature that merits special consideration
because of its unique character, public interest or other similar factors, may be placed
on utility poles, in this case City street light poles, on a conditional and limited basis.
Because this request is somewhat beyond the boundaries of other applications for
banners, staff is requesting City Council determination of whether to approve, deny or
approve with conditions.
BACKGROUND
The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2087 in May of 1998 to establish regulations
pertaining to the placement of banners and signs on utility poles in the right-of-way by
outside organizations. The ordinance, codified in Section 4912.6.1 states:
"The City may exercise its discretion to consider allowance, on a conditional
and limited basis, of signs and banners that involve or commemorate a
singular event of a nature that merits special consideration because of its
unique character, public interest or other similar factors. Commercial
considerations alone will not suffice to meet this criteria."
It should be noted that while the Code indicates that banners shouid commemorate a
singular event, it does not define a duration for that event.
Mayor and City Councii
May 2, 2006 .
Page 2
In September 2000 the City Council again discussed this program as a result of an
increase in the number of requests from outside organizations for use of utility poles for
the placement of banners. Besides some conflicts in requested dates, staff identified
other issues for Council discussion and direction, including advertising, approval of both
non-profit and for-profit organizations and promotion of a singular event.
The City Council determined that both non-profit and for-profit organizations could
qualify, albeit for-profit groups would have a more difficult time meeting the criteria, and
the Council allowed for a fairly broad definition of "singular evenY'.
Banners that have been approved in the past have included the Santa Anita Park
regular racing season, the grand opening of the Westfield expansion in October 2004,
special events at the County Arboretum, The Sycamores anniversary, the Greek
Festival, the L.A. County Fair and the World Cup Soccer competition. Most of the
events are of a non-profit nature, though the Code does not preclude for-profit banners
providing the purpose of the banner is not solely for commercial purposes only, The
City Council in the past specifically addressed the Santa Anita Racetrack banners and
determined that the meet, which lasts approximately four (4) months, meets the criteria
in the Code and, therefore, they have been permitted to install banners for this
approximate time. However, banners for outside organizations are only allowed when
the event is regionally significant and of a non-commercial nature. ~-
Requests for banners on utility poles are processed administratively, based on the
guidelines in the City Code and subsequent direction by the City Council. The Council
has directed that all utility pole banners that are approved by staff be forwarded to the
City Council, and any individual member of the Council has five (5) working days from
receipt of the information from staff, to appeal to the entire Council the staff decision to
approve the request (Attachment 1- Banner Policy). To date there have been no
appeals of the staff approvals.
DISCUSSION
Staff has received an application from Methodist Hospital to place banners on twelve
(12) City street light poles on the eastbound direction of Huntington Drive (Attachment
2). The purpose of the banners is to keep the public and hospital employees informed
about the construction progress at the hospital. They would like to install the banners in
May of 2006 and leave them up for one year.
The banners would not"be placed for commercial considerations alone so the request
would qualify in that respect. The two areas where some direction from.the City Council
is requested pertains to the length of time that the banners would be in place and
whether or not the construction would be considered a singular event. To date the
longest period of time for placement of a banner has been about four (4) months,
marking the regular season meet at Santa Anita. The Westfield banners
commemorated the completion of construction for the recent expansion and were up
, . Mayor and City Council
-. May2,2006
Page 3
approximately two (2) months. The only projected conflict if the Hospital banners were
in place for one year would be with the Santa Anita Park banners on eastbound
Huntington Drive adjacent to the Hospital.
Staff did discuss with Hospital representatives the option of placing the banners at the
start of construction, removing them for a period of 4ime, then reinstalling banners again
at the end of construction. They indicated that they preferred to have them up for the
entire year.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact on the City, as the sponsoring organization pays for the
installation and removal of the banners by a private vendor and the City is indemnified
against any claims due to the placement of the banners. There is a$90 processing fee
with each application.
RECOMMENDATION
:it is recommended that the City Council review the request from Methodist
~:Hospital to allow the placement of banners on tweive (12) City street light poles
for one year and either approve, deny or approve the request with conditions, ::
such as a shorter duration of time.
