It was reported by the City Manager that the Arcadia Methodist
Hospital has announced that they are closing the Trauma Center.
Communication was received from Claire Arth offering to prune and
tidy-up the rose bushes at the former County Rose Garden site. An
inquiry was also received from Lana Grafius of the Arcadia School'
District who would like to make the on-going care of the roses a
project for her Special Education class. Word was also sent that
Terri Weeks. gardening class teacher at Arcadia High School. has
volunteered her class to remove all the roses during the construc-
tion of the Senior Citizen Center; replant or pot them until the
City is ready to replant them. In the ensuing discussion Council
decided to accept Mrs. Arth's offer to begin pruning and cleaning
up and Terri Weeks' gardening class will remove them when they are
ready; care for the roses; and replant them later.
Consent Item 8a on the Regular Agenda set for public hearing on
November 15. 1988.
The City Manager requested a Closed Session after the Adjourned
Meeting this evening.
Councilmember Gilb reported he had received two calls in connection
with Item 8j on the Regular Agenda.. both callers thought the City
should use a U.S. bank for the banking services agreement.
Council discussed the City agreement with the Los Angeles County
Animal Control Shelter and the conditions at the local shelter.
Staff will contact the Pasadena Humane Society to inquire if they
now have space for Arcadia and come back to Council with the answer
for discussion.
It Was noted by Mayor Harbicht that the receipts from the Oak Tree
meet are down 11%. In the discussion the question was raised that
this could possibly be a result of the off-track betting in other
areas. Off-track betting is off 15% from its highest level when it
began at Santa Anita. The lottery is making a difference also.
Staff will watch the situation and see what Can be done if it con-
tinues. Councilmember Gilb commented that the Tucker Bill set the
percentage and maybe it's time the City tried to get another 1/2%.
POLICE DEPT. vi A note was received from the Arboretum commending the Police Depart-
COMMENDED ment. Mayor Harbicht thanked the depsrtment for an outstanding job.
