Mr. Hoherd suggested creating a mural depicting the history of Arcadia from Lucky Baldwin to
the present on the block wall at the east side of Huntington Drive, the police department site. He

the mural.

station site on the east side of Huntington Drive, City Manager Kelly, stated in part that, the plan

at alternatives, staff will bring back a report for Council discussion at a future meeting, Council

SIDEWALK Consideration of the report and recommendation to approve and authorize the City Manager to
DEDICATION execute a Sidewalk Development and Dedication Agreement with PHMJ, LLC, owner of the
(Baldwin, Ave. Arcadia Hub, and to execute all exhibits to the agreement and any documents necessary to
Bet. Duarte Rd complete this transaction; on condition that the City first enter into a public works contract to
& Naomi Ave.) complete the project described in the Agreement.
(CONTINUED
FROM In response to the request of the City Council at the May 6, 2003 council meeting, staff
MAY 6, 2003) presented additional data regarding the proposed Baldwin Avenue Improvement Project between
Duarte Road and Naomi Avenue which included the results of the survey of businesses with
regard to the proposed parking on the west side of Baldwin Avenue, advantages and
disadvantages of the proposed project set forth in the May 20, 2003 staff report.
The proposed project has three goals; 1 — to make appropriate traffic improvements; 2 — to
provide additional parking for the commercial area; and, 3 — to beautify the street and parkway.
The west side property owner, Michael Pashaie, has agreed to dedicate to the City the additional
right -of -way, in trade for the improvements, and has indicated that additional street parking is an
important feature of the agreement. Years, ago, there was west side street parking on Baldwin
Avenue, but it was eliminated when the major department store on the street closed.
The biggest hindrance to traffic How on Baldwin Avenue is the intersection of Duarte Road.
Drivers currently experience delays at the intersection due to the lack of a sufficient number and
length of lanes to accommodate the traffic. The intersection cannot be improved simply by
adding more signal green -light time to Baldwin Avenue because that would lengthen the delay to
Duarte Road traffic. The City's Transportation. Master Plan identified this intersection as a
current concern and a future deficiency based on projected traffic growth. The master plan
identified an intersection improvement plan for the intersection to add lanes to reduce the
deficiencies. The proposed intersection improvements would allow more traffic to move through
the intersection in the same amount of signal time allowed. The estimated cost of the
improvements is $1,480,000 and requires additional right -of -way. The proposed project will
construct the northbound right turn lane, which will help improve the intersection.
In addition to the traffic related improvements, the project will remove twelve street trees and
replace them with fifteen on the east side and remove six street trees and replace with eleven on
the west side. The project will also include landscaping in the median island and the bow -outs,
decorative seat walls and benches at the mid -block bow -outs and sidewalk scored in three -foot
8 5/20/03
45:0086
squares.
Following the presentation staff responded to questions and concerns expressed by the City
Council and recommended three options for Council consideration; 1- to approve the project as
proposed; 2 — to eliminate the parking on the west side and only allow the bus turn -outs at the
north end; and, 3 — to do nothing on the west side and proceed with all the proposed
improvements in the center and on the east side of the street.
Considerable discussion ensued. Some members expressed concerns with regard to the
parking spaces and addition of bow -outs on the west side of the street and felt that these parking
spaces will create more traffic congestion on Baldwin Avenue and will encourage people to park
on one side and cross the street to go to the other side with no signal there. Others felt by
eliminating parking spaces on the west side of Baldwin Avenue the City is condemning that strip
of Baldwin to be the back alley of that shopping center. The City should strongly encourage the
businesses to provide entrance from Baldwin Avenue to their place of business.
Following discussion it was MOVED by Councilmember Wuo to approve the staff
recommendation with the exception to eliminate the bow -outs and south end bow -out on Duarte
Road and Baldwin Avenue. The motion died for lack of a second.
With regard to orientation of the buildings to Baldwin Avenue, City Attorney Deitsch stated in part
that, it is a matter of negotiation and agreement and there is nothing unlawful about the City and
the property owner entering into an agreement that could provide for access from Baldwin
Avenue. In addition, the City Attorney recommended changes to the proposed agreement, that
the parties would commence ten calendar days after the date the City awards the contract for the
public improvement project, and that the agreement will terminate automatically if such a
contract is not awarded by July 15, 2004. He also recommended that the agreement provide
that the completion deadline for the public improvement project be July 15, 2005. It was also
noted that any changes made to the design in a motion by the Council tonight would be a
change in the agreement and would go back to the property owner for his approval.
In response to a Council question staff noted that the project will be postponed to May, 2004 to
miss the Breeders Cup and the next Santa Anita season.
It was MOVED by Councilmember Kovacic, seconded by Councilmember Segal and CARIED on
roll call vote as follows to ADOPT the staff recommendation and AUTHORIZED the City
Manager to EXECUTE a Sidewalk Development and Dedication Agreement with PHMJ, LLC,
owner of the Arcadia Hub; and, EXECUTE all exhibits to the agreement and any documents
necessary to complete this transaction; on condition that the City first enters into a public works
contract to complete the project described in the Agreement; and, APPROVE the City Attorney's
suggested additional language with the following additional conditions that the City not be
bounded by continuing to provide parking if it turns out that it is unsafe or inconvenient; and,
language be put in the agreement that existing and new tenants being strongly encouraged to
orient their businesses at least in part, to Baldwin Avenue and that they also be strongly
encouraged to beautify their store fronts along Baldwin so that they are more than just painted in
windows and delivery.

STAFF REPORT
Public Works Services Department
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Pat Malloy, Public Works Services Director
Prepared by: Susannah Turney, Environmental Se ices Officer
Toyasha Black, Management Aide
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 2180 amending Article V Chapter 1 Part 3 and
Article VI Chapter 4 Part 3 of the Arcadia Municipal Code Relating
to Recvclables and Rubbish Collection Hauling and Disposal
Recommendation: Introduce
SUMMARY
Since the passage of AB 939, to meet and maintain the States diversion goal of 50
percent, the City has been working diligently to increase recycling and diversion in our
residential and commercial sectors. Last year, under the direction of the City Council,
staff focused on increasing diversion and recycling throughout the City's residential
sector by implementing the following programs:
• Single- family automated green waste
• Single- family commercial bin service
• Multi- family refuse and recycling
This year, staff is focused on managing the commercial sector's recycling programs. To
assist in continuing to meet the States diversion goal of 50 percent, staff recommends
that the City Council introduce Ordinance No. 2180. This Ordinance will not only modify
the City's number of permitted commercial haulers from six (6) to three (3), with a
grand- fathering of the current four (4) haulers, but will also update the Arcadia Municipal
code (AMC) to reflect new California Integrated Waste Management Board (Board)
specific terminology and AB 939 language.

DISCUSSION
From 1995 to 1999, the City of Arcadia's diversion slipped from 45 to 24 percent;
however, for the year 2001, the City is at 62 percent diversion. Our 62 percent
diversion is largely due to the City Council's support of proactive educational and
recycling programs instituted in our residential sector (i.e., composting /green waste,
household hazardous waste roundups, mailers, etc.).
Currently, the State has achieved a diversion of 48 percent, and it is feasible that the
goal of a 50 percent diversion will soon be met. Consequently, the State is considering
increasing the mandated statewide diversion above 50 percent. To meet these
heightened diversion regulations, the City will need to focus on managing commercial
diversion in a more effective manner.
For the last three (3) years, the City's commercial sector has operated with only five (5)
haulers: Athens Services, BFI Waste, Zakaroff Services, Waste Management and
Valley Vista Services. Earlier this year, Athens Services turned over all commercial
accounts to Waste Management reducing the number to four (4) commercial haulers.
As a result, the two largest haulers (BFI & Waste Management) hold approximately 97
percent of all commercial accounts.
Staff believes that an update of the AMC to reflect three (3) commercial haulers, with a
grand- fathering of the current four (4) permitted haulers, will better reflect the City's
current commercial operations, reduce truck traffic/pollution, while making it less
challenging for staff to manage commercial diversion and education. In addition, staffs
recommended ordinance changes will update the AMC to reflect the following new
Board terminology and AB 939 language:
• Definitions of putrescible waste residue and source separated
recyclables
The term "source separated recyclables" is new to the code, now to be
included in the proposed Section 5130.1(f). The definition of this term
includes the word "residue ", which in turn uses "putrescible waste" in its
definition. These three terms are being added to Section 5130 for added
clarification of solid waste industry jargon.
• Provisions for diversion calculations
Each permitted hauler is required to calculate and submit an annual
diversion rate. To add clarity and consistency to the reporting process,
staff has elected to include practical language for the calculations. In
addition, the AMC will now include the stated provisions for third party
diversion efforts, to ensure their acknowledgement.

• Provide free recycling containers and public education to the City's
residents
New language for Section 5130.1, mimics many actions already being
taken by our permitted haulers, yet clearly lists specific language
regarding staff's expectations of each hauler's community based efforts
and reported diversion rates. This will now include written strategies on
how each hauler plans to reduce waste & increase diversion within our
City, incorporating public education and free recycling bins. In addition,
allowances for a hauler's "good faith" efforts when their diversion does not
meet 50 %, granted that a solid plan is in place to correct the situation.
Staff recommends that the City Council introduce Ordinance No. 2180, modifying the
City's number of permitted commercial haulers from six (6) to three (3), with a grand -
fathering of the four (4) current haulers, while also updating the AMC to reflect new
Board specific terminology and AB 939 language.
FISCAL IMPACT
Reducing the number of commercial haulers from six (6) to three (3) will assist the City
in maintaining the State's diversion mandate and will allow staff to more efficiently
manage commercial diversion and education.
RECOMMENDATION

SUBJECT: SAFE SURRENDER SITES FOR ABANDONED NEWBORNS
SUMMARY
Establish Arcadia Fire Stations as Safe Surrender Sites where parents can safely leave
their newborn babies within 72 hours of birth.
BACKGROUND
In 2002 there were ten safely surrendered infants in Los Angeles County, some of
which were received at fire stations. In contrast, 14 babies were found abandoned,
eight of which were deceased. Unfortunately, there are many other cases that go
unreported.
Senate Bill 1368, the Newborn Abandonment Law, became effective January 1, 2001.
Under this law, hospitals throughout California are required to accept physical custody
of newborn infants, up to 72 hours old, who are voluntarily surrendered by a parent or
other person with legal custody. The intent of the law is to encourage parents who
would otherwise abandon their babies in an unsafe environment to leave their newborns
in as safe a manner as possible. It allows the parent to surrender the baby
anonymously. There is no criminal prosecution for the parents who leave their
newborns in this manner.
DISCUSSION
Fire stations throughout Los Angeles County are being asked to participate, along with
hospitals, in the Safe Surrender Program. As the public will most likely not discriminate
between a Los Angeles County Fire Station and an Arcadia Fire Station, the Arcadia
Fire Department is seeking designation of its fire stations by the Los Angeles County
Board of Supervisors as locations that may accept newborns that are 72 hours old or
younger from a person who has lawful custody of the child.

FISCAL IMPACT
There will be a minimal cost involved to the City of approximately $500 for the purchase
of Safe Surrender Kits, training and standard Safe Surrender signage for all stations.
There is not an expected demand on EMS services currently offered.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the adoption of Resolution No. 6350 in support of establishing
Arcadia Fire Stations as Safe Surrender Sites for abandoned newborns.

FROM: Pat Malloy, Public Works Services Director
Prepared by: Gary F. Lewis, General Services Manage
Mark Rynkiewicz, Associate Civil Engineer
SUBJECT: Award of Contract — 2002 -2003 Annual Slurry Seal Project
Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with
Wheeler Paving Inc. in the amount of $181,228 for the 2002 -2003 Annual Slurry
Seal Project
SUMMARY
As part of the City's Street Maintenance Program, the Public Works Services Department is
preparing to resurface various residential streets throughout the City. The street locations are
shown on the attached location map, Exhibit "A."
Staff recommends that the City Council award a contract in the amount of $181,228 to Wheeler
Paving Inc., for the 2002 -2003 Annual Slurry Seal Project.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Services Department is responsible for the maintenance and repair of
approximately 147 miles of pavement within the community. In 1999, as part of the Pavement
Management Program, staff prioritized the condition of all City streets and established an eight
(8) year slurry seal program to efficiently prolong the life of streets that are in good condition.
The 2002/03 Capital Improvement Program includes the Annual Asphalt and Concrete Program
for this work. The Department is scheduled to slurry seal approximately 18 miles of residential
streets located within the City.
An asphalt slurry seal is a mixture of well - graded fine aggregate, emulsified asphalt and water
applied to the street pavement as a surface treatment. It is designed for both preventive and
corrective maintenance to older pavement surfaces, where surface cracks and loss of surface
material are evident. This process makes the pavement impermeable to air, water and
improves skid resistance. To reduce the need for more costly maintenance or construction work
in the future, this application is repeated once every eight (8) years.

After the public bid opening, it was discovered that two (2) bids had been delivered by courier to
the Cashier's office, instead of the City Clerk's office. Following the bid opening, the Cashier
placed these two bids in the City Clerk's mailbox. These bids from Wheeler Paving Inc and
Valley Slurry Seal Co. were received before the deadline, but were not delivered or opened until
after the public bid opening. Staff discussed this informality in the bid process with the City
Attorney and he agrees that the intent of bid process has been met and the City can accept the
bids as received.
Staff has reviewed the bid documents for content and has investigated the contractor's
background and their recent projects for competency. it is the staffs opinion that Wheeler
Paving Inc. can satisfactorily perform the work required and recommends that the City Council
award a contract in the amount of $181,228 to Wheeler Paving Inc. for the 2002 -2003 Annual
Slurry Seal Project.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
This project is categorically exempt per Section 15302 (c) replacement from the requirements of
the California Environmental Quality Act.
FISCAL IMPACT

slurry seal and concrete repair work. Previously, the Council awarded a contract in the amount
of $77,180 for concrete repairs leaving a balance of $338,820 for this portion of the project.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Award a contract to Wheeler Paving Inc. in the amount of $181,228 for the 2002-
2003 Annual Slurry Seal Project.
2. Waive any informalities in the bid or bidding process.

SUBJECT: Award of Contract — Orange Grove Block Wall Reconstruction
Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract
with Southland Construction in the amount of $117,848.00 for the Orange
Grove Block Wall Reconstruction project and appropriate $129,000 from
the Water Fund
The block wall along the north side of Orange Grove Water Plant was severely,
damaged by the windstorm of January 5, 2003. The winds blew down portions of the
existing un- reinforced masonry wall and destabilized other portions. Also, for security
purposes, the chain -link fence along the east side of the plant also needs to be replaced
by a masonry block wall.
Staff recommends that the City Council award a contract in the amount of $117,848.00
to Southland Construction, for the Orange Grove Block Wall Reconstruction project and
appropriate $129,000 from the Water Fund to pay for this project.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Services Department is responsible for the maintenance, security,
and operation of Orange Grove Water Plant. The Orange Grove Water Plant is an
essential water storage and pumping facility with storage tanks, booster pump stations,
and wells. This facility currently has a storage capacity of 14.75 million gallons, a
booster pump capacity of 11,000 gallons per minute, and a well capacity flow rate of
approximately 4,800 gallons per minute.
The windstorm of January 5, 2003 caused major damage throughout the City including
damaged power poles, broken trees, and damaged structures. Included in the damage
was the north wall of Orange Grove Water Plant.

The absence of this structure poses a security risk to the water facility. Sections of this
wall also act as a retaining wall along the adjacent properties. This repair should be
done as soon as possible to assure the safety of the adjacent residents and to secure
the water facilities.
This project will reconstruct approximately 400 feet of damaged wall along the north
side of the plant. Also, as a part of this project, an additional 211 feet of masonry block
wall will be built along the East side of the plant. Currently, an existing chain link fence
borders the plant at that location. A masonry block wall matching other areas of the
plant is needed to increase plant security..

SUBJECT: Purchase — twelve (12) ton wheel loader
Recommendation: Approve the purchase of a JCB 12 ton wheel loader
from Cook Equipment in the amount of $113,464.44.
SUMMARY
The 2002 -03 Equipment Replacement Budget provides for the replacement of one (1)
6 -ton wheel loader for a new higher capacity 12 -ton wheel loader for the Public Works
Services Department. This equipment is used for the daily activities of the street and
solid waste sections both in the public right of way and at the Service Center.
On March. 4, 2003 the City Council rejected the two (2) bids received and instructed
staff to rebid the project in an attempt to attract additional bidders. As instructed, staff
re -bid the 12 -ton wheel loader and on April 21, 2003 five (5) sealed bids were received
and opened by the City Clerk with the lowest responsible bid submitted by Cook
Equipment Company.
Therefore, it is recommended that Council award a purchase contract in the amount of
$113,464.44 for a JCB 12 ton wheel loader from Cook Equipment.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Services Department is responsible for the clean up of debris from
City Streets, debris basins, and solid waste removal operations at the Service Center.
Solid waste cleanup is an integral part of the daily work activities of both the Street and
Water Sections of the Department.
The Department currently uses a 1973 6 -ton wheel loader with 5,126 hours of
operation, which exceeds the City's replacement policy. The increased volume of waste
and debris handled by the department also exceeds the bucket and loading capacity of
the existing loader.

SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement — Streetscape and Landscape
Improvement Design Services for Santa Anita Avenue Entry Corridor
Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to enter into a
Professional Service Agreement with Harris &. Associates for civil
engineering and landscape architecture design services in the amount of
$107,211 and appropriate $55,000 in Proposition'C Funds
SUMMARY
As part of this year's Capital Improvement Program for the improvement of Santa Anita
Avenue Entry Corridor, staff sent request- for - proposals (RFPs) for civil engineering and
landscape architecture design services to five qualified consulting firms. The scope of
work for the RFP was expanded to include pavement rehabilitation work. The
Development Services Department received proposals from four (4) firms to provide the
requested professional services.
Staff has reviewed the four proposals and determined that Harris & Associates is the
most responsive and qualified firm to provide the requested services. Staff
recommends that a Professional Services Agreement for this work be awarded to Harris
& Associates in an amount not to exceed $107,211.00 and appropriate funding from
Proposition C funds in the amount of $55,000 to cover the contract and administration
costs.
DISCUSSION
The FY 2002/03 Capital Improvement Program Budget included $60,000 for the design
of the Santa Anita Avenue Entry Corridor. The project includes Santa Anita Avenue
from Huntington Drive to 210 Freeway and the areas adjacent to the Santa Anita
LASER IMAGED
do N. /3 A. y0
Mayor and City Council
Staff Report

Page 2
Avenue and Baldwin Avenue on /off ramps with the 210 Freeway as shown on the
attached location map. The CIP budget described the project as design of landscaping
and streetscape improvements.
Subsequent to the budget approval, staff determined that Santa Anita Avenue is also in
need of pavement rehabilitation as is apparent from the recent Underground Utility
District work as well as being identified in the Pavement Management Program.
Although this was not part of the original project scope, staff included it in the request
for proposals. With all the other improvements being ;proposed for the corridor, the
pavement is an integral part and must be included.
Staff prepared an RFP for the civil engineering and landscape architecture design
services to include the preparation of. plans /construction drawings for pavement
rehabilitation; drainage improvements; median re- construction with new landscape,
irrigation, hardscape and lighting; traffic signal modifications; replacement of damaged
curb, gutter and sidewalk; and installation of curb ramps and decorative crosswalks.
The RFP scope also includes conceptual design for re- landscaping the areas adjacent
to the Santa Anita Avenue and Baldwin Avenue on /off ramps with the 210 Freeway.
Five qualified consulting firms were sent an RFP. The City received four proposals and
ranked them as follows:
Rank Consulting Firms
1 Harris & Associates
Irvine, CA.
2 DMJM + Harris
Orange, CA
3 Gruen Associates
Los Angeles, CA
4 CNC Engineering
Irvine, CA
Staff evaluated the four proposals according to their responsiveness to the proposal
requirements. Following careful review of the proposals, staff determined that Harris &
Associates (HA) was_the most responsive and can satisfactorily perform the work
required. HA provided the most thorough proposal and is well,qualified to perform the
work. HA proposes to use Kobata Associates as a sub - consultant for the landscape
design. It is important to note that the fee is not the determining factor in the award of
contracts for professional services. The fee proposal of Harris & Associates was
reviewed and negotiated after staff determined they were the most qualified respondent.
Their fee proposal is reasonable based on the scope of work.

FISCAL IMPACT
This project was budgeted in the FY 2002/03 CIP with $50;000 in Redevelopment funds
and $10,000 in Capital Outlay funds. With the addition of the pavement rehabilitation,
additional funds are necessary to cover the design costs. It is necessary to appropriate
$55,000 from Proposition C funds to cover the eligible roadway design elements.
Harris & Associates submitted a proposal to provide the services at a cost not to exceed
$107_ ,211.00. The adjusted total budget of $115,000 is sufficient to cover all design
and administrative costs.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with
Harris & Associates in an amount not to exceed $107,211.00 for civil engineering
and landscape architecture design services and appropriate $55,000 from
Proposition C funds.

SUBJECT: Award of Contract— Storm Drain Culvert Relining Project
Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract
with Insituform Technologies, Inc in the amount of $58,850.00 for storm
drain culvert relining.
SUMMARY
The existing corrugated metal pipe storm drain connecting a catch basin in front of 1622
Highland Oaks drive and ending at the Santa Anita Wash has deteriorated, allowing a
portion to collapse. A large portion of the bottom of the pipe is missing; therefore, storm
water is eroding ground around the pipeline creating potholes along its alignment.
Staff recommends that City Council award a contract in the amount of $58,850.00 to
Z+S�Fu�✓wtstitnter Technologies, Inc. for the rehabilitation of the existing 420 foot storm drain
pipeline at 1622 Highland Oaks Drive.
DISCUSSION
For many years, storm drains were constructed using corrugated metal pipe (CMP).
This type of material is highly susceptible to corrosion and collapsing within a period of
40 to 50 years. Eventually, large portions of the pipe disintegrate as a result of
corrosion. The existing pipeline located within a 5 foot wide easement along the south
property line of 1622 Highland Oaks Drive property is 420 linear feet long, extending
between the catch basin on Highland Oaks to the outlet at the Santa Anita Wash. A
large portion of the bottom of the pipe is missing, creating potholes inside of the
property, which requires City crews to make temporary repairs. A CCTV inspection of
the pipeline indicates heavy damage on the pipe that can only be repaired by replacing
or relining the existing pipe. Due to the limited access of the existing pipe alignment,
replacement would be extremely difficult and expensive.

joints. Relining is the most cost effective way to repair and rehabilitate underground
pipelines, which avoids expensive excavation and limiting inconvenience to residents.
Notice inviting bids was published in the papers and bid packages were made available
to contractors. As advertised by the City Clerk, three (3) sealed bids were received and
publicly opened on April 24, 2003.
Insituform Technologies, Inc.
Sancon Technologies, Inc.
National Liner West Corp.
BID AMOUNT
$ 64,780.00
Non - Responsive
National Liner West Corp. failed to acknowledge Addendum 1 and as stated in the
contract documents, "failure to provide acknowledgement of the Addendum shall render
the bid as non - responsive;" therefore, subject to rejection.
Insituform Techonologies Inc. was the lowest responsive bidder in the amount of
$58,850.00 for the relining and rehabilitation of 420 linear feet of storm drain corrugated
pipe, pipe cleaning; CCTV inspection, and videotaping and traffic control.
Staff has reviewed the bid documents for content, and has investigated the contractor's
background and recent project history for competency. Insituform Technologies, Inc. is
properly licensed and competent to perform the job.
Staff recommends that City Council award a contract in the amount of $58,850.00 to
Insituform Technologies, Inc. for rehabilitation of an existing storm drain pipe line at
1622 Highland Oaks Drive.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

By: Tony L. Trabbie, Battalion Chief
SUBJECT: Change Order Request for Paramedic Field Supplies
Recommendation: Approve a change order request to amend the original
purchase order established to replace paramedic field supplies utilized by
Fire Department personnel during emergency medical treatment.
SUMMARY
Staff is recommending the City Council authorize a change order in the amount of
$8,500.00 to amend the original purchase order of $28,000.00 established for
paramedic field supply replacement. Sufficient funds are available in the 2002 -2003 FY
Operating Budget, as adopted by the City Council.
BACKGROUND
Emergency medical supplies utilized during medical treatment of a patient are restocked
using a private medical supplier. Items used include medications, intravenous fluids,
assorted needles, bandages, splints, tape, gloves, oxygen masks, EKG paper and
electrodes, and other supplies used on a daily basis.
DISCUSSION
The 2002 -2003 FY budget includes appropriations for the replacement medical supplies
used by Fire Department personnel during emergency medical treatment. The funds are
currently budgeted in the Operating Budget for this program.
For FY 2002 -2003, $36,500.00 was appropriated for the Field Supplies account in the
Paramedic Division of the Operating Budget. To date, over $29,000.00 has been
expended to the current vendor, Life Assist. It is anticipated that we will exceed the
$30,000.00 threshold, requiring Council approval, as defined in the City's Purchasing
Procedures Manual.

Recommendation: Approve the purchase of a G.R.E.A.T. truck
from Chevrolet of El Monte in the amount of $12,908.28 and
appropriate said funds from the Federal Asset Seizure Fund.
SUMMARY
In 2000, Gunderson Chevrolet donated a new $23,000 Chevrolet S10 Xtreme
pickup truck on a three -year cost free lease to the Arcadia Police Department's
G.R.E.A.T. Program. At the end of the three -year contract, we anticipated the
donation of a replacement vehicle. However, since that time, Chevrolet of El
Monte has acquired Gunderson Chevrolet and they have declined to participate in
further donations.
Chevrolet of El Monte has offered to sell the existing truck to the Arcadia Police
Department for $12,908.28, and staff recommends the purchase of the truck by
using Federal Asset Seizure funds.
DISCUSSION
Since acquiring the truck, the Police Department has equipped it with a light bar
and police radio. Local vendors also donated custom tires and wheels and a
custom G.R.E.A.T. themed body paint. The specialty vehicle is clearly recognized
as the Arcadia Police Department's G.R.E.A.T. vehicle and is used for advertising
and promoting the program.
Chevrolet of El Monte has declined to make further donations and has offered the
vehicle to the Police Department for purchase at the kelly Blue Book cost of
$12,908.28, which includes all fees and taxes. Since this is an approved
expenditure in the Asset Seizure Fund Program, staff recommends that the
purchase of the truck be made using said funds.

This report explains the Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant (JAIBG)
Program and requests authorization to release the funds to the Los Angeles
County District Attorney's Office for juvenile prosecution services.
BACKGROUND
In 1999, the State of California Office of Criminal Justice Planning (OCJP) began
administering funds from the United States Department of Justice for the
Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant (JAIBG) Program. The conditions
of the grant require that the money be used toward one or more of the following
purposes:
• construction of juvenile detention /correctional facilities;
• hiring judges, prosecutors, probation officers, and /or public
defenders;'
• funding prosecutor -led drug, gang, and violence programs;
• providing technology, equipment, and training for prosecutors and /or
_probation programs;
• establishing gun courts and/or drug courts;
• information sharing systems for juvenile justice purposes;
• law enforcement referrals to protect students and school personnel
from drug, gang, and youth violence;
• controlled substance testing and intervention for juveniles.
The JAIBG program distributes funds to local cities on a per capita basis, and our
allocation is usually between $10,000 and $13,000. The amount will not go very
LASER IMAGED
c () h/. 1310.
far toward fulfilling or establishing any one of the referenced purposes.
Consequently, staff recommended partnering with the Los Angeles. District
Attomey's Office and contributing our share toward a mufti-jurisdictional project
that will benefit the juvenile justice system in our area.
We elected to participate in the "Abolish Chronic Truancy" (ACT) Program, a
community prosecution program implemented by the Los Angeles County District
Attorney's Office. The purpose of the ACT Program is to reduce delinquency
and later adult criminality by keeping children in school. ACT Deputy District
Attorneys and Hearing Officers require parents to take responsibility for their
children's school attendance problems. They follow up with a series of
graduated actions, which promote good attendance and. academic success.
Parents and some minors may be prosecuted for violations of mandatory school
attendance laws if attendance does not improve after graduated sanctions are
imposed.
DISCUSSION
JAIBG funds released to the District Attorney's Office provided additional staffing
to their various juvenile intervention programs. These prosecutors began their
assignment in September 1999, and they have,received positive feedback from
many cities as to their dedication and usefulness in juvenile investigations and
prosecutions. Caseloads in the juvenile courts have been reduced,by more than
20% through the elimination of backlogs and the enhancement of prosecution
efforts. Case processing time has been streamlined and reduced by more than
30% in the past 5 years. More than 2,000 youth have been diverted from the
criminal, justice system, and over 100,000 serious juvenile cases were
appro priately adjudicated using JAIBG funds. .
This year the City of Arcadia is eligible for JAIBG funds in the amount of $9,863,
and again staff recommends contributing our share toward the ACT Program,
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the release funds, in the amount of $9,863, from the Juvenile
Accountability Incentive Block Grant (JAIBG) Program to be expended by the
Los Angeles County District Attorney for juvenile prosecution services.

SUBJECT: SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON . BALDWIN AVENUE
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FROM DUARTE ROAD TO NAOMI
AVENUE
This memo is in response to the request for additional information regarding the
proposed Baldwin Avenue Improvement project between Duarte Road and Naomi
Avenue. The project is three -fold in its purpose:
(1) To make appropriate traffic improvements
(2) To provide additional parking for the commercial area
(3) To beautify the street and parkway
The west side property owner, Michael Pashaie, has agreed to dedicate to the City the
additional right -of -way, in trade for the improvements, and has indicated that additional
street parking is an important feature of the agreement. Years ago, there was west side
street parking on Baldwin Avenue, but it was eliminated when the major department
store on the street closed.
This project proposes street improvements intended to improve traffic flow on Baldwin
Avenue. Although the traffic flow will be slightly impacted by the additional parallel
parking spaces, it is staffs belief that any negative impacts will be far outweighed by the
other improvements, such as straightened through - lanes, additional right -turn lanes, bus
turn -outs and a landscaped center median.
At the City Council's request, staff has compiled additional data regarding the City's
proposed project. Attached to this memo are exhibits that will help clarify the scope of
the project and the benefits derived.

Funds totaling $581,250 are budgeted in the Capital Improvement Plan for this project,
including $150,000 in Proposition C for the street rehabilitation and $431,250 for the
street widening, landscaping and other improvements.
With regard to schedule, the project construction was originally intended to occur this
summer with completion before Breeder's Cup; however, several recent design issues
have caused delays. Staff is currently. pursuing options for streetlight cost savings
based on new information that has just become available from the Southern California
Edison Company. While we analyze this potential cost - savings option, this could
jeopardize completing the project on time. At this point, the schedule indicates that the
project could be bid, awarded and under construction by mid- August. While staff can
insure that all four traffic lanes will be available for Breeders Cup, the project would not
likely be complete by this date. In order to avoid an unfinished condition during the
racing season, and especially the Breeders Cup on October 25 staff recommends
delaying the project until after the Santa Anita Racing season, which would mean the
project would start construction in.May of 2004.

PROPOSED PARKING ON WEST SIDE OF BALDWIN
RESULTS OF SURVEY OF BUSINESSES
This memo is a follow -up to the discussion at the City Council meeting of May 6
regarding the Sidewalk Development and Dedication Agreement on Baldwin
Avenue between Duarte Road and Naomi Avenue. One of the items discussed
was the proposal to add ten (10) parking spaces on the west side of Baldwin
Avenue and how that would impact the businesses on that side of the street.
On Friday morning May 9, City. Engineer Phil Wray and Assistant City
Manager /Development Services Director Don Penman,, went to this area and
visited with several of the businesses on the west side of Baldwin. Business
representatives were informed about the proposed project in general and the
concept of adding parking adjacent to their businesses. There are about thirteen
(13) businesses on the west side of Baldwin. Of those, only two (2) had access
directly onto Baldwin, Arcadia Travel Connection and a Tofu restaurant next
door. Waltrip has doors on Baldwin but recently closed them due to concern
over theft. None of the other stores provided access from Baldwin though some
could as they have doors on the street frontage and visibility into the retail area.
Staff talked to six (6) store managers or representatives. Waltrip's representative
indicated that they would consider opening their front door should the City
provide parking on Baldwin. Several of the stores with entrances from the
interior of the center use the back part of their stores (adjacent to Baldwin) as
their storeroom, and they indicated that it would be very difficult to provide
access from Baldwin. The manager of the Lighthouse Bookstore (which is
closing their business) indicated they do not open the front doors because there
is not enough pedestrian traffic. Since they are closing, he would not speculate
on whether added parking on Baldwin would do enough to increase foot traffic to
justify opening the Baldwin door.
Arcadia Travel Connection only has access off of Baldwin, so their representative
was enthusiastic about the possibility of more parking to serve her business.
This type of business probably depends more on close, convenient parking then
some of the other types of business on the west side of Baldwin Avenue.
The owner of the center has indicated that his goal is to create more storefront
access from Baldwin. A letter from him stating that is forthcoming. On a related
note, he has no plans at this time to create a mid -block passage from Baldwin to
the interior parking area. This was done several years ago and the owner closed
it because at that time he indicated it didn't work and a potential tenant needed
the space. Over the long term, staff believes this type of connection would be
Exhibit #1
helpful in linking Baldwin Avenue and the center's interior and staff will need to
explore options with the owner to see if this can be accomplished.
Because the West Arcadia business area is not in the Redevelopment Project
area, available resources to offer as incentives to businesses to open to Baldwin
are limited. The City could waive fees for sign and construction permits; offer
free design services through the City's consulting contract architect for window
and /or store' fagade changes; create a revolving loan program for improvements
to store fronts and /or display windows (a funding source will need to be
identified); and waive business license fees.
Overall, it would be staff's opinion that the near -term prospect of many
businesses opening up access from Baldwin Avenue is not very likely. Over
time, this could change with possible landlord incentives, merchant 'turnover,
reconfiguration of lease space, increased foot traffic, and having the benefit of
convenient parking for short duration trips.

BACKGROUND
Baldwin Avenue is not only an important north /south arterial for traffic movement,
but it is also an integral part of the City's commercial business district. Baldwin
Avenue is identified as a Primary Arterial on the City's recently amended General
Plan Circulation Element. The design width of the Primary Arterial is such that
parallel parking is allowed. Baldwin Avenue from Huntington Drive to Camino
Real Avenue is a commercial business district with many buildings constructed
close to the street. The street is an active part of the business district with many
businesses dependent on street parking. The speed limit on Baldwin Avenue is
30 mile- per -hour. The speed limit reflects an active commercial street.
The City's project to improve Baldwin Avenue` will include both traffic and
aesthetic improvement. Below are the advantages and disadvantages with
regard to traffic flow and parking.
ADVANTAGES
• Straighten the travel lanes for the entire block to eliminate the
meandering.
• Add a landscaped median to create a calming affect and improve safety
by separating the northbound and southbound traffic.
• Eliminate the left turn access mid -block to facilitate traffic flow.
• Widen the through lanes to achieve a more standard 12 -foot wide lane for
all travel lanes (some currently at 11 feet).
• Provide bus turn -outs separate from the travel lane for both northbound
and southbound Baldwin Avenue just south of Duarte Road. The bus
currently stops partially in the travel lane and blocks traffic.
• Add a right turn lane at northbound approach to Duarte Road.
• Add a right turn lane at southbound approach to Naomi Avenue.
• Add ten parking spaces. Parking spaces will be 24 feet long. Most spaces
currently on Baldwin Avenue are 22 feet. The longer parking spaces will
better accommodate parking maneuvering.
• Increase the curb radius of the southwest corner of Baldwin Avenue and
Duarte Road to improve the right turn movement to stay within the right
turn lane.
• Add an enhanced (offset) crosswalk mid -block to improve pedestrian
safety.
Exhibit 92
DISADVANTAGES
• Mid -block driveways (2) will not have left turn access.
• Additional parking spaces could impact traffic flow.
• Additional parking spaces may not encourage additional pedestrian
activity or access to adjacent businesses.
In addition to the traffic related improvements, the project will remove twelve
street trees and replace with fifteen on the east side and remove six street trees
and replace with eleven on the west side. The project will also include
landscaping in the median island and the bow -outs, decorative seat "walls and
benches at mid -block bow -outs and sidewalk scored in three -foot squares.
The biggest hindrance to traffic flow on Baldwin Avenue is the intersection with
Duarte Road. Drivers currently experience delays at the intersection due to the
lack of sufficient number and length of lanes to accommodate the traffic. The
intersection cannot be improved simply by adding more green time to Baldwin
Avenue because that would lengthen the delay to Duarte Road traffic and it
would suffer. The City's Transportation Master Plan identified this intersection as
a current concern and a future deficiency (level of service [LOS] E) based on
projected traffic growth. The master plan identified an intersection improvement
plan for the intersection to add lanes to reduce the deficiencies (> LOS D). See
the attached plan. The proposed intersection improvements would allow more
traffic to move through the intersection in the same amount of signal time
allowed. The estimated cost of the improvements is $1,480,000 and requires
additional right -of -way. The City's project discussed above will construct the
northbound right turn lane, which will help improve the intersection.

Baldwin Avenue Beautification and Parking
Dear Mayor and Council Members:

I am writing this letter as the owner of the "Hub Center" located adjacent to Baldwin Avenue. I
have owned the property for over 19 years and it has been a pleasure dealing with the City and
the Council on numerous occasions. Out of the 20+ properties we own, we consider the Hub
Center to be the Trophy Property in our portfolio and we have continuously improved the center
and taken care of it with pride.
I believe the beautification project and related parking on Baldwin Avenue currently being
considered would be of great benefit to the City and the Hub Center.
• The City would benefit by having a wider street that is visually appealing and safer;
therefore, the quality of life of the residents would be enhanced.
• The City would also benefit by creating additional pedestrian traffic that brings a sense
of community and enhanced business to the local businesses.
• The Hub Center would benefit by having the ability to offer greater street access to
tenants and providing additional parking options for patrons of the center. Currently
several stores have street access; however, the additional parking along Baldwin
Avenue will permit further access and convenience for the public. All tenants fronting
Baldwin Avenue plan to open entrances to permit pedestrian access.
Additionally, it is my understanding that a very similar project was completed along Huntington
Drive, between Santa Anita and Second .Avenue, with great success for all parties. That project
enhanced the appearance of the City and created an improved business climate for the local
stores. This is exactly what the Baldwin Avenue project will also accomplish.
For the above reasons, I strongly urge you to support the proposed street improvements and, as
soon as possible, approve the appropriate plans.
If you would like to contact me directly to discuss the project, please do not hesitate to call me at
310 - 858 -6797.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

Very truly yours,
Michael Pashaie
