Appeal filed by Emil Amato from the decision of the Planning C=issi~;' co
in its denial of his application for, a modification for ,113,E. St: ,Joseph
Street, The Commission had denied the request which ~as,f~r two,ite~s,;.
1) to allow 9 parking spaces in lieu of the 10 require~,for an,existfng, "
industrial building and 2) to delete a prior requirement of the Commission
concerning additional office space in lieu of storage space within the ,
building. The Commission felt the requirement that the,offic~ ,porti~n,of
the building be limited to the first floor only was correct and to grant
the modification wouid only compound the parking problem in the area.
, ,
, , . . t . .
Mayor Pellegrino declared the hearing open and the applicant, Emil Amato,
1832 Chantry Drive, distributed pictures showing the parking situati~n as
, . , ",
it presently exists; also letters from owners supporting his modification
request. 'In response to questions Mr. Amato stated that the downstairs,
portion of the building is rented and is used for mail sorting and distribu-
tion; that he does not have any customers coming to his business which is
that of an electrical contractor; that there are parking spaces in ,front
for the business downstairs; that he, his wife, secretary use the others -
that his foreman comes in and goes right out on jobs. Trucks are housed
at his employee's homes and never are parked at the office site: Equipment
is all stored inside the building.

man Gi1b, seconded by Counc Uman Dring and carried unanimously.
Councilman Gi1b stated in part that not to grant the appeal would place
an unreasonable hardship on the applicant; that Mr. Amato has done every-
thing he could do to improve the property. He referred to the conditions
which would be imposed if the appeal were granted. Councilman Saelid said
he had driven past the subject property and found it to be quite well main-
tained, but was concerned with the trucks parking in residential zones.
Councilman Haltom said in part that the Commission was concerned about
parking on the street but that he did not think that would be the situation
in this case - that in order to make the business successful the trucks
have to be out on the job.
It was MOVED by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilman Haltom and carried
on roll call vote as follows that the appeal be granted subject to all con-
ditions.

HOSPITAL
TAX EXEMPT
REVENUE
BONDS
Proposed issuance of tax exempt revenue bonds to finance facilities for
the Methodist Hospital of Southern California. Mayor Pellegrino declared
the hearing open and the following persons addressed the matter.
Richard Hachten, 1709 Wilson Avenue, Vice President and Administrator of
the Hospital said in part that due to inflation the estimated cost of con-
struction has increased from $11 million to $22.9 million which figure
seems firm at this point. The bonds probably will be marketed in August.
He continued in part on the extreme need for expansion and the project will
benefit the population in terms of health delivery system improvements. The
State has approved its Certificate of Need application.
The first phase of construction will be a 3 1/2 story 375 car parking
facility on the northeast corner of the property. The second phase would
be the construction of a two story plus basement addition to the main hos-
pital building. The heliport will be relocated for more direct access in-
to the emergency department by elevator. It is estimated that the construc-
tion will take approximately 30 months to complete.
Roger Davis, Bond Counsel with Orrick, Harrington, Rowley and Sutcliffe,
San Francisco, spoke at length on the source of authority in the issuance
of the bonds; that Arcadia being a Charter City and under Article II, Sec-
tion 5 of the State Constitution, it has the power to legislate, regulate
as to matters of municipal concern; that health care is a matter of muni-
cipal concern. He explained the various types of bonds that are issued
by cities and that the types being considered are often referred to as con-
duit revenue bonds because the City functions as a mere conduit - issues
the bonds, loans the money to the hospital - the bonds are payable solely
from loan payments made by the hospital, In the event of default the bond
holder cannot look to any fund or assets of the city.. the bonds would not
be a debt or liability to the City or a charge or lien upon its property, I
assets or funds, Each bond will so state as will the Bond Counsel's opin-
ion and all other legal documents. The bonds will be the obligation of
the hospital. The only reason the City is being asked to issue the bonds
is because the City, due to its status as a political subdivision, has the
power to issue bonds, the interest on which is tax exempt.
Mr. Davis then described graphically the major participants in the trans-
action -- the City issues the bonds, Methodist Hospital receives the bene-
fit of the proceeds of the bonds, the Underwriters buy the bonds and sup-
plies the money and ,the Trustee takes over for the City in connection with
the disposition of monies and handling of revenues.
Dennis Rognerud, Senior Vice President with Ziegler Securities of Chicago,
which firm is acting as investment banker in this transaction. Its role
-2-
6-17-80

is to assist the Hospital in structuring the bond issue, developing the
terms and conditions and interfacing with all of the other aspects associ-
ated with the transaction. It orchestrates a quality rating on the bonds
which will occur within the next 30 days. The firm will present before
the City Council a bond purchase agreement wherein it will buy 100% of the
$22,900,000 worth of securities for ultimate resale to its investors and
clients. Mr. Rognerud continued in part that his firm would not undertake
such an effort of this magnitude without being absolutely convinced of the
quality of this financing and the ability of the hospital to pays its in-
debtedness.
I
Don Freeman, Managing Consulting Supervisor with the Public Accounting firm
of Ernst and Whinney, auditors for the hospital, said in part that the
scope of their forecasts includes an analysis of future utilization of the
hospital and the development of forecasted revenue expenses and cash flows
necessary to meet the cash requirement of the hospital. The hospital has
the highest occupancy rate for acute care patients in its service area and
the results of its study indicate that there are sufficient revenue and
cash flow monies that can be generated to meet the operating expenses and
the working capital needs of the new unit and the debt service requirements
of the proposed bond issue,
Sue Egloff, 1024 Golden West Avenue, Past President of the Auxiliary of the
hospital, spoke in favor of the needed facilities and noted that it benefits
services in the emergency, x-ray, nuclear medicine, intensive care and the
like.
Mary Edna Randall, 310 Sharon Road, volunteer with the hospital, said in
part that the hospital must expand in order to maintain the level of ex-
cellence in the health care field for which it is noted.
Lois Vanlandingham, 460 Harvard Avenue, volunteer at the hospital, said in
part that without the expansion the hospital cannot continue to operate at
top efficiency and that the tax exempt bonds is one way to keep the health
care costs down.
Nancy Wiesneck, 2036 Windover Road, Pasadena, President of the Arcadia
Auxillary, said she is aware of the needs to increase and expand the space
and services to meet the increasing need and strongly supports the program,
She urged Council to favorably consider the tax exempt revenue bonds as a
funding method for the program.
Schuyler Aijian, M. D., 956 Via Fuiteria, Santa Barbara, said in part that
he is a pathologist and director of the laboratory at the hospital (since
1965) explained the need for more room for the 48 full time employees who
staff the laboratory 24 hours every day of the year, He felt the expansion
is essential and urged the City Council to adopt the proposed economical
means of financing.
I
Dr, Julian Love, 435 Fairview Avenue #2, told of the growth of the hospi-
tal from an initial 99 beds to its present 345; that it is going to contin-
ue to grow and that it is necessary for the benefit of the residents and
those from nearby communities, He urged the City Council to consider this
as one of the great benefits to the City.
John Nessen, M. D., 1965 El Molino Avenue, San Marino, Arcadia Radiology
Medical Group said in part that there is no way to accomplish the things
which may be accomplished in this day and age without additional space.
He said the project is essential and urged the Council to favorably consid-
er the project,
William Wright, Neuro-surgeon, 2990 E. Lombardy Road, Pasadena, said in
part that he has been involved in the project planning for some four years
... that it is not an ill conceived plan - that it has been worked over very
carefully. He felt it will provide quality care at a minimum cost and urged
Council support.

F. Harold Roach, 1310 San Carlos Road, Member of the Board of Directors
of the hospital, said it is important to know that the millions of dollars
which have been laid out at the hospital over a period of nearly 25 years
has been paid off ,.. there are no capital debts. He felt Council would
want to assist in this opportunity to save costs.
Herb Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon Avenue, spoke in opposition as he did not feel
the City should be involved in what he believes to be a private business.
He said those who have spoken in favor with the exception of the volunteer
ladies have a financial gain to make ... he is not against the hospital and
donated at the time the hospital came into being. He noted that the City
donated the land and the emergency equipment, He felt the City would have
some liability.. he recalled an instance where there was financial diffi-
culty encountered with a non profit corporation formed by the Methodist
Church.
I
In response to a question by Mr. Fletcher Mr. Richard Strong, of the firm
of Gibson, Dunne and Crutcher, retained to advise the City, said in part
that in order for the City to be liable a number of factors would have to
come together -- the non-profit organization, the hospital, would have to
go bankrupt, or one of the persons who purchased the bonds would have to
point out something in the fiscal statement which was materially mislead-
in g, incorrect, that he would have to prove that was what he relied upon
when he purchased the bonds and he would also have to get over several le-
gal hurdles, soverign immunity among other things ." the possibility that
the City would ever be required to pay the bonds is extremely remote.
Mr. Fletcher continued in part by referring to the Social Security Medi-
care program which he felt is on rocky ground and that during the next 30
years it is possible a great change will take place in the medical system.
He asked Council to take a good long look at the project.
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilman Saelid, seconded by Councilman Gilb and carried unanimously.
In response to a question Mr. Strong said in part that all changes will
be incorporated into new drafts and those new drafts will be available
prior to and at the time the final action is before Council.
In response to a question by Councilman Gilb concerning a medical office
building on the premises, Mr. Hachten said in part that there is presently
no plan for such a building '.. although it has been discussed for many
years and that a medical office building was included in the original mas-
ter plan for the facility in 1953. Plans are being considered as a possi-
ble future project but in no way is the medical office building a topic in
any way with the expansion program or the financing therefor.
Councilman Saelid said in part that to allay any fears of those who are
concerned about this would it be acceptable to the hospital to have such
a requirement as a condition of approval of the bonding. Mr. Hachten said
that since the lease agreement requires all construction projects at the
hospital to have prior approval of the Council that should they desire to
proceed with such a project it would have to come to Council for a deci-
sion at some point in the future. And that to answer the question speci-
fically he would have to defer to the Board of Directors.
I
Francis Dale, Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors residing at 3634 San
Pasqual, Chapman Woods, responded further saying in part that there is no
plan for a medical office building; that there has been a request which will
be considered in the ordinary course '.. that the pros and cons have not
been considered either one way or another. He felt the two matters are not
related and that it would be improper for them to make a commitment now with-
out having studied the quesdon. He said further that the parking structure
is being constructed to replace parking that they now have and that space
will be used for the wing ... that the parking structure will be for the
employees only.

Councilman Sae1id then stated in part that a commitment had been made to
have good health care facilities when the City entered the lease agree-
ment; that he is pleased that it did - that this is the best way of pro-
viding hospital care at the most reasonable cost ... it is an opportunity
for the City to assist the hospital in terms of its expansion. He would
like to see the City proceed with the requirement that the land be used
for nothing other than the hospital. He thought the lease agreement offers
sufficient safeguards, however, he would like to have such a condition in- \
c1uded in whatever legal documents are necessary at this point.
Councilman Dring requested a copy of the lease agreement with the hospital
and said in part that if it is a fact that the agreement states the hos-
pital would have to come back to Council for any new buildings he would
not want to tie up the project, but with the proposed 30 year term on the
bonds he would like to know what might be coming in the future ... it has
a way of changing things ... although currently he does not support pri-
vate medical facilities on public land and tied into the hospital there,
He was advised by Mr. Hachten that due to the additional square footage
in the structure they must add the additional parking spaces to meet city
requirements and if the medical office building is ever pursued a separate
parking structure would be required.
Councilman Dring stated further that because the bonds would be paid off
through the revenue of the hospital and if the hospital should suffer
severe damage or be wiped out in an earthquake and end up in a bankrupt
situation he felt there is considerable risk on the part of a buyer inas-
much as the proposed agreement does not include earthquake insurance for
such damages.
'Mr. Strong replied in part that the fact that the risk is exposed in the
official statement is from the standpoint of the city a good point be-
cause then the bond holder would not be able to claim there was a mis-
statement ... the fact that it is not insured for earthquake may to some
slight extent affect the rating of the bonds or the desirability of some-
one to purchase the bonds and to some extent affect the interest rate that
has to be put upon them because of that additional risk. He stated fur-
ther that the City will be without any obligation on the bonds,at all and
that it may turn out that the hospital will also be without any obligation.
That other than there being a misstatement and the, hospital going bankrupt
and a plaintiff getting over certain legal hurdles he did not think there
is any risk that the City would have to pay for.
In response to Councilman Gilb Mr. Hachten said in part that there will
be a net increase ,of 12 beds but the largest increase will be in the emer-
gency room, out-patient services, x-ray and the like ... also that costs
in those areas are not expected to increase.
Herb Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon Avenue, asked why the City doesn't get practi-
cal and get a little of the $24 million -- perhaps a little negotiation
along that line could be done.
Councilman Gi1b then MOVED that Council proceed with the project and that
staff be instructed to continue to work on the documents toward the ending
date of early August, Councilman Sae1id seconded the motion which was
carried on roll call vote as follows:

Walter and Mar~ie Kierstein, 1665 Alta Oaks Drive, spoke at length con-
cerning their property at 321 Hillcrest Blvd. which is just below the
building pad number 15 of the subdivision being developed next to the
Foothills Jr, High School on Sycamore Avenue by Charles Bluth. Mrs.
Kierstein said in part that an illegal cut was made that is a drop of
10 feet from the surface of plot 15 going down ... it is approximately
105 feet in length ... that this was said to be for dumping: dirt ... it
became a spillway for water during the rain storms. She told of the num-
erous times she had tried to reach Mr. Bluth, who is the responsible party
in this, and her inability to gain assistance from the City departments.
They stand to lose their jacuzzi should a land slide occur. She asked
that someone from the City visit the site.
Considerable discussion ensued and it was determined that the City have
a soils engineer, Mr. Bluth and Mr. and Mrs. Kierstein present at a meet-
ing on July 15.
Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Washburn, 325 Hillcrest Boulevard, read a prepared
statement concerning a claim they have filed against the City. The claim
itemizes money they have spent in order to return their home to normal
since damage was done to their property due to an attempt to change the
natural drainage pathway which has been adequate since 1946. They have
tried several times to contact the subdivider, Charles Bluth, to no avail.
Mrs. Washburn continued in part that at one point when the ground was so
wet a 100 ft. tree was in danger of falling on their house -- the City did
come out and topped the tree, Some discussion on responsibility and the
Washburns were advised to also attend the meeting on July 15 when a soils
engineer and Mr. Bluth will be invited to be present.

deficiency study of the sewer system, The Director of Public Works ex-
plained that the sanitary sewer system which serves the city was installed
in the late 1940's; that due to land development considerable expansion
has occurred and a study is in order to find out to what extent the system
may be deficient. He continued in part that a deficiency study or master
plan has never been made and as of now staff has no way of knowing if there
are problems nor the magnitude of them.

M. Green be appointed to the Planning Commission for a four year term.
It was MOVED by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilman Saelid that Joseph
Sargis be reappointed to the Planning Commission for a four year term.
Councilman Saelid stated in part that he does not know Mr. Green; that his I
resume indicates he certainly has a lot to contribute to the City and he
was not sure the Planning Commision wouldn't be the best place that he
could make his contribution. On the other hand at this point Joe Sargis
has been a regular contributor to the Commission and has done an excellent
job. He would have to support Mr. Sargis.
Councilman Dring stated in part that he supports Mr. Green ... who is
well qualified and he was following the suggestion of the Mayor - that it
is good to bring in new blood to the various boards and/or commissions.
Mayor Pellegrino responded in part that he does think it is healthy to
have new people on the boards and commissions; that he does not know Mr.
Green and that is not saying he is not qualified, but he would support
the appointment of Mr. Sargis .. from wh~m he has learned a lot from the
planning standpoint,
Roll call vote was then taken on the motion to appoint Mr. Green.
