and carried on roll call vote as follows to rename the Art and Lecture
Room in honor of Catherine Mortenson, whose long association with the
Library deserves such recoqnition. Mrs. Mortenson's contributions to
the community have been many and renaming the Art and Lecture Room is

Recommendation from Recreation Commission for use of Parks and
Recreation Grant Funds. The Director of Recreation explained that
the requests are broken up in two areas - 11 projects located on
City owned property which the Commission would like to proceed with
immediately, and 2J recommended projects for consideration to be
done on School District property which would have to be discussed
with the Sc hoo 1 personnel.
Councilman Hannah questioned if the City is committed to
funds for the School District for these purposes only..,
of allocating it to painting the schools or does it have
for recreation?

AGENCY The Assistant Manager for Economic Development stated that, "The draft
RELOCATION relocation plan was previously seen by this body on February 21, 1984.
HOUSING PLAN At that meeting, Mr. Marvin, a potential displacee and also elected PAC
. ~member, raised several questions. The Agency asked that Port & Flor,
\ !}the consultants, respond to those questions. Port & Flor are here to-
~ night to speak to them and answer any questions you may have. Notice
of this meeting sent to all the eligible displacees in the project area
in February. A copy of this agenda package was given also to Mr. Marvin
last week for his review. The Project Area Committee has reviewed and
approved this in February, The guidelines of the State require that,
before the Agency'and Council take any final action, they must permit
any displacees or their representatives to address Council. Staff
recommends that it be approved as amended, Port & F10r has requested
some minor arithmetic corrections in the actual plan."

Staff said in part that the funds must be used for recreation.., not
for general maintenance of the schools, In response to a question
staff advised that the shelter at Wilderness Park would be reroofed
with Ca1shake incombustible material.
Mayor Lojeski said, "I'm in favor of going ahead with the project on
our City owned property, I would like to give a little input and
would hope that the Council will kind of think in the same line. On
the projects potentially located on School District property, there
is an awful lot of - I'm going to call it gingerbread - for a lack
of a better term and amost creating a Dodger Stadium effect, out of
Hugo Reid and Holly Avenue Schools. I think in terms of the amount
of money that might be available and aqain this is only direction and I
thoughts coming from me as part of the Council. I would like to see
them thinking in terms of a lot of projects rather than two major
projects. In other words if you looked at the amount of money left,
you could get totally hung up on a $60,000 project at Hugo Reid and
a $59,000 project at Holly Avenue and leaving out some of the other
schools. I think the use of those other fields, such as Baldwin
Stocker or Highland Oaks school yard up there are just as important
and so I'm just giving that as my input, If we're going to go ahead
with that type of a plan, I'd like to see it done as more of a broad
based, broad spectrum type of situation rather than just limited usage
on two fields." Staff will incorporate their suqgestions with Mayor
Lojeski's suggestions to present to the School District,
It was MOVED by Councilman Pellegrino that staff be directed to prepare
plans and specifications for the projects located on City owned proper-
ty and to discuss possible improvements to School District property with
District personnel. Motion seconded by Councilman Haltom and carried

Ms. Joan Flor addressed the Agency, stating that, "I thought that I
would just paraphrase Mr, Marvin's comments and then briefly capsu1ize
our responses to his comments. The first question he raised was as
to whether or not we had inspected units to see if they were adequate
for the handicapped or if they were available to people who had pets
or to people of all races. Actually, during an initial survey of the
-2-
4-3-84
25:0913
I
community and surroundino communities, this is not appropriate be-
cause, frankly, property owners and owners renting are not interested
in taking people through their units unless they feel that there is
some probability that they may rent to them. Naturally, when we re-
locate people we will be very careful to give referrals to places
where they will take pets and see that handicapped people will have
adequate ingress and egress to th'eir apartments. As a matter of
fact, the goal of the survey is to summarize what units are available
at that time so that subsequently when we do an updated survey, we
will be able to see whether the trend is going up or down in the
vacancies. He was entirely accurate and we apologize for our mathe-
matical errors, We have made comments on all of them, We did re-
check and I don't think I need to go through those. We were one or
two off in each instance, basically,
"Under the Section 8 Housing issue, he brought up the fact that there
were no Section 8 units 'available on the market at this time and by
that I'm talking about certificates of eligibility. It is true that
at times the County does not offer certificates because they have no
funding for those, however, they always have emergency type certifi-
cates which are available to people who are displaced and particularly
those that are displaced from public programs. Now it is true that
these units, perhaps, could be used by other people, however, in order
to qualify for a Section 8 certificate, you have to be within a certain
income level and, therefore, these people would qualify whether or not
they were being displaced from a redevelopment project. The Section 8
program in some instances is very qood for these people because it
offers the subsidy for lonqer than four years that are assured through
a redevelopment program and so it is our goal to get people into the
best housing that we can provide for them at the time of displacement.
As a matter of fact, we have gotten three people into Section 8 housing
since November of 1983 with a minimum of delay. We did survey the
market here in Arcadia and we find that with the rent limits that are
put on housing here in Arcadia that there were units available and
these are at the bottom of page 3 in terms of what the ceilings are
for housing here in Arcadia which demonstrates that we would be able
to find housing which would fit into the Section 8 program.
I
"As to the Naomi Gardens here in the community, the people who will be
displaced are citizens of Arcadia and they certainly have every right
to go into housing that is made available within the community. When
HUD assesses whether or not to fund subsidized housing, there is a
complete survey done in terms of the number of elderly people and their
incomes, in other words they do not want to subsidize this housino in
communities where there is no need, This was done, I am sure, in-
Arcadia. I'm sure these people were counted as people who required and
needed this housing and there is no reason to exclude them from Naomi
Gardens, As a matter of fact, when we initially interviewed them, we
found that two of them had already made application to get into Naomi
Gardens. Here again, because it's a HUD-subsidized program, the people
who are displaced will, as a matter of fact, probably have preference
in getting into Naomi Gardens, We did state in our plan that people
inflate their income sometimes on our initial interview. As a matter
of fact, we do find when we verify incomes, which we do when the time
comes to relocate people, that it is not always the same as it was
during our initial survey and, you know, this is just human nature for
people to change their income a little bit, if they don't know that
it's gQing to be verified later on,
"The next issue w~s whether or not people preferred to relocate within
Arcadia. Although the majority of people stated that they do prefer
to remain in Arcadia, six families have relocated and all but one have
moved outside the City limits. There was no pressure to relocate in
four of these instances and yet they did elect to move elsewhere. It
is not untypical in relocation to find that people will take this
opportunity to move closer to their jobs or closer to their families
and there is no way that you can demand that they remain in Arcadia
so I believe that we are going to have to let them move where they
want to. We did check services in the surrounding communities and
find that Pasadena has excellent services. This is one of the issues
that Mr, Marvin brought up, although, of 'course, Arcadia does too, and
Monrovia has very similar services. So I don't believe anybody will
-3-

. suffer if they move into adjacent communities for lack of adequate
services, whether it be to seniors or whether it be recreational
prooram,
"Mr, Marvin raised the issue of whether 25% of income was used for
ability to pay. We have cited a section of the State Relocation
Assistance Guidelines and this clearly states that if someone's in-
come of 25%, let's say, represents $200 that in our search we could
look for a unit that is as high as $283 because the $4000 subsidy
that is to be used over a four year period breaks down to $83 a month.
However, in computing the initial $4000 we do use 25% of the income
or the old rent whichever is less.
"The last issue that was brought up was the availability of units in
Arcadia for twelve of the households that would be displaced. It
would be our opinion that at this time on a voluntary basis, there
is plenty of housing available in Arcadia. And those who elect to
move now should be able to find housinq that is adequate. We agree
that at such time as it will be necessary to give ninety day notices,
it may be necessary for the Redevelopment Agency to adopt a last
resort housing policy. The State guidelines allow for payment of over
$4000 to make up the shortfall in the rentals available and 25% of
people's income and if we find that it is necessary at that time, the
plan will be updated and a last resort policy will be recommended.
And th~t concludes my remarks unless there are questions,"
I
In response to Member Haltom's question, Mrs. Flor stated that
Section 8 is federally funded; that HUD sets limits on what can
be paid in a community, The difference in 30% of people's income,
30% of people's adjusted income and the market rent is picked up
by HUD or the Federal Government. She agreed with Member Haltom
that in relocating people, we supplement their housing, their
rent, until the $4000 runs out and then they a re no longer able
to fund it themselves, Mrs. Flor said that the Federal Govern-
ment adopted the new guidelines in 1972 and the issue of what
occurs after the fours years has never been addressed, and the
State has adopted a Relocation Act Law that uses the $4000
figure, This is one reason that they prefer and 1 ike to get,
particularly elderly or disabled people into a Section 8 program
because conceivably that will go on indefinitely. They would re-
new the Section 8 funds.
Richard Marvin, 28 Nor.th Third Avenue. "I advise the Arcadia
Redevelopment Agency of a number of flaws in the draft relocation
plan. I am truly shocked that, beyond mathematical corrections,
no changes in the draft plan are being offered either by the
Agency's Relocation Consultant or by the Arcadia Redevelopment
Agency staff, I have reviewed the reply provided by the consultant
and find that it is less than satisfactory, however, I prefer to
leave it to the Members of the City Council to compare each of my
specific objections to the vague responses given by Port & Flor,
Inc. There is one issue in the most recent Port & Flor statement
to which I would like to draw attention. The consultant .has
acknowledged that regular Section 8 certificates may not be
available, however, the consultant has not advised the Redevelop-
ment Agency to delete the reference to Section 8 certificates from
the draft plan. On the contrary, Port & Flor, Inc, affirms that
it will be able to obtain some of the housing certificates which
have been reserved by the Los Angeles County Housing Authority
for emergency cases. But is it appropriate for the Arcadia
Redevelopment Agency to solve its relocation problem by using
housing assistance which is designed to help the victims of fires
and floods? The displacement of families from Third Avenue is
hardly a sudden emergency. It is a catastrophe, but it is one
which the Redevelopment Agency has been planning for years. I
believe the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency should have a plan to
replace the housing which 1S heino eliminated on Third Avenue,
I

RELOCATION
HOUSING
MOTION
I
25:0915
Such a plan should be part of the relocation plan. Third Avenue
is a valuable asset to the City. It is a nei~hborhood where lower
and moderate income families are able to find housing which they
can afford, Redevelopment in this area would reduce the stock of
affordable housin~. Such reductions tend to push lower income
people out of Arcadia into other areas with lower housing costs.
The California Legislature realized that the activities of Re-
development Agencies may have a detrimental effect on the supply
of housing for. lower and moderate income people. Therefore,
Redevelopment Agencies are required to replace every unit of
lower or moderate income housing which they destroy. It is only
because Arcadia's redevelopment plan was enacted before 1976 that
the specific requirements of one on one replacement do not apply.
The Arcadia Redevelopment Agency should, I believe, voluntarily,
comply with the one for one replacement of redevelopment law. In
fact, in court cases government entitles have often been held to
be responsible for replac€ment housing even where the statutes
did not, at first, appear to require such replacement. The City
has been put on notice by the Southern California Association of
Governments that housing for lower income people must be greatly
increased in order for the City to meet its fair share under the
regional housing allocation model. In light of the fact that
Arcadia has done little to meet its fair share, it seems most
irregular for the City's Redevelopment Agency to destroy afford-
able housing without making plans for replacement."
Mrs. Flor advised Member Haltom that one of the residents on
Third Avenue is currently being subsidized by Section 8 funds.
Mrs, Flor continued, in part, that Mr. Marvin probably knows
the inner workings of the Housing Authority better than they
do because she believes he is employed there.
It was then MOVED by Member Pellegrino that the Agency adopt
the relocation plan, as amended, dated January 23, 1984, and
seconded by Member Hannah.
Member Haltom stated, "I'd like some assurance that their housing
will be subsidized beyond the $4000 mark because what you're doing
is you are placing them in a bad position if you relocate them into
a higher income housing they can ill afford once this subsidy is
used up. You know, it would be like moving me to Beverly Hills
and in two years, say, swim. That's the position, I think we
are going to put these people into. That's my only concern. But
I am concerned with it now. If we can work out some assurance or
if there is some assurance. I know that there is no certainty
for the rest of their lives that it will be subsidized, but I
would like some assurance that they will receive assistance for
a reasonable amount of time. I don't even know what a reasonable
amount of time is. I think it is our obligation if we relocate
them -- by relocating by definition -- we become obligated to
their welfare, To a degree -- it isn't like somebody buying
out a business or something where both parties are amiable to
'it. These people aren't just standing in line to move. And
that's my concern. What happens three or four years down the line
when some of these people - elderly people - when their income
may even be less than it is now. The subsidy then stops. They've
got us to thank for it. We are, in effect, causing this and it's
our obligation since we're causing it -'we have an obligation to
the people that'we're moving to some degree to look after their
welfare because we're asking them to'move - or making them move -
whichever term you like, They are moving at our request. They
know that if they don't move that this Council -- the next Council
will have eminent domain or whatever tool they use to move them.
At least that's my opinion. It's obvious that Third Avenue is
going to go ahead and be developed, but if we're going to develop
it we have an obligation to these people that we're moving out of
one financial area of housing to a higher financial area."

Member Hannah stated, "We're providing the same benefits that
the Federal government and State government are providing. I
don't see that we've got any obligation over and above that
unless you want to go into rent control and I really believe
that rent control is responsible .for the fact that we now have
vacancy rates in apartments in Southern California of 4 to 6%

Staff advised that Larmor is proposing to substitute an entity
called Cameron V, a California Limited Partnership for itself.
The general partners of Larmor are identical to the general
partners of Cameron V. They are simply adding three, possibly,
four, limited partners to provide more equity capital to the
entity. The Agency attorney and staff have both reviewed the
partnership agreement and we've had some changes made and Cameron V
has agreed to make those changes. They are shown in page 2 of the
partnership agreement, whereby they certify that they are aware of
and will comply with the precise plan and the disposition of the
development agreement. As a further control, the Agency counsel
has prepared an agreement between Cameron V which will require both
Larmor and Cameron V to sign it and have it recorded against the
property as a further guarantee that there will be compliance with
the Disposition and Development Agreement.

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
Johanna Hofer, 875 Monte Verde Drive said, in part, with reference
to the relocation issue that she would never vote for eminent domain
and that she would like to see an advisory vote by the people of
the City of Arcadia regarding this issue. She then further stated
that she would like to see the City Council meetings taped by
Group W who have informed her that it could be made available to
the City.
I
She also referred to debris and clutter, particularly after Friday
and Saturday nights in the community and urged the Council to try
to resolve this ~roblem.
Herb Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon referred to a comment made by Mrs. Hofer
at a recent meeting concerning the need for a fire station in the
Southern part of the City, He suggested that a public hearing be
scheduled for discussion on this matter and also that it might be
possible that, since the City has' two paramedic wagons, they could
be alternated between three locations.

construction of a sound wall between Santa Anita to Michillinda
is $4,169,200. to $5,211,00. Staff recommended retainin9 the
services of a qualified consultant with the purpose of making
a preliminary noise level survey which would not only check the
validity of the noise levels as determined by Ca1trans, but also
address the feasibility of sound wall construction at all locations
as well as costs and predicted noise level reduction. The
estimated cost for such a study would be $7,000. and could
provide a basis for the entire question of sound wall construc-
tion in the City of Arcadia to be reevaluated by Ca1trans.
Durinq this consideration,Bil1 Caldwell, 326 Joyce Avenue and
