BUDGET
Prior to continuing the public hearing on the proposed budget for
1978-79 the individual Councilmen made statements on what has tran-
spired thus far in reductions and the areas which are being considered
for possible revenue increasing measures. Mayor Parry then declared
the hearing open.
ALL REMARKS MADE BY THE FOLLOWING SPEAKERS ARE RECORDED AND ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF
THE CITY CLERK. SUMMARY FOLLOWS :
Gordon Maddock, stated in part that the Jarvis-Gann Proposition 13
is basically one of tax reform which means that taxes are changed
drastically and the systems have to be adjusted to fit within the
structure. He then spoke as President of the Arcadia Board of
Realtors, in part - that the Board did not believe that the proposed
property transfer tax, sewer service charge, street sweeping charge
and other taxes which are being considered, represent the will of the
people who voted for the Proposition. He urged the City Council to
abandon the adoption of the ordinances and form an ad hoc committee
to assist in reducing the budget. He concluded his remarks in part
stating that if the City Council imposes any undesirable tax prior
to July 1 the Board will actively seek the repeal of any tax by means
of a referendum.
I
Mrs. Sherry Passmore, 1109 Columbia Rd., stated in part that the first
step on the part of the City Council should be for total tax reform.
She made reference to her position on redevelopment and suggested
that the Agency return to the City the monies it has spent which would
amount to some $900,000. She referred to an agenda item which concerned
the retention of a consultant. She felt this work could be performed
by staff. She also felt the City does not have to subsidize the
Chamber of Commerce to bring business into the City. She also felt
if additional revenue is needed and presented to the citizens they
will vote for it if it is necessary.
,'1;
Gary Dorn, 912 Panorama, referred in part to the amount already cut
from the proposed budget of $11,758,000; however, the appropriation
for 1977-78 was $11,263,000 - $495,000 less than the proposed budget
for 1978-79. If one takes the cuts which have been made in relation
to what the budget was or the appropriation for 1977-78 $300,000 has
been cut from the budget or 2.5% of the total budget. He felt the
Cities will not be totally void of property tax because of what will
be forthcoming from the State. He referred to some of the proposed
fee increases and property transfer tax which is being considered. He
felt the City Council, as an elected body, will take care of the items
which must be considered and that the citizens will provide all the
support it needs.

Roy Spiers, 312 W. Palm Drive, spoke at length submitting in part that
the City Council in concert with other cities should make the message
known at the State level that the citizens are through being fleeced
and while the citizens may take out its initial ire on the City
Councils the demand must be made at the State level that they stop
providing unwise mandates on cities and counties and that the monies
which are presently collected in the form of sales and income tax
must be passed on to the proper agency so the cities and counties
will be able to function wisely and properly. He also referred to
the City of Sunnyvale and recommended that the City Council look
into its fire and police operations.. it is a combined operation..
that this could bring in a million dollar saving to the City.

Kevin Barry, 1639 Oakhaven Drive, referred to a property transfer
tax which is under consideration by the City Council and read a
section of Proposition 13 relating to the imposition of special
taxes except ad valorem taxes on real property or a transaction tax
or sales tax on the sale of real property. He felt the City Council
should not be studying ways of introducing additional revenue into
the budget; that it should consider how much money it has coming in
and make choices which it has been elected so to do. He felt the
people have made their feelings known by passing Proposition 13 and
the next move is up to the City Council.
.
o
Milton Bade, 63 Birchcroft, spoke as a builder of many projects within
the City and referred to the parks and recreation fees which he has paid
in connection with building permits. He felt the recreation activities

could be self-supporting. He asked Council to pursue other avenues of reve'
nue and not tax the residents and expressed concern that the Library hours
were being considered for reduction, He offered his assistance if nee
At this point Mrs, Edna Haacke commented that non-residents pay a fee
for Library use.
Rene Topalian, 110 W. LeRoy Avenue, reiterated his suggestions made at
a previous meeting concerning reductions. He felt most of the reductions
made thus far do not involve reduction of personnel and he was pleased
to see that, He felt the City Council has made some excellent moves
in terms of making recreation at least as self supporting as possible.
He asked the City Council to look very hard at the complexities of
some of the areas it is forced to cut and felt the creation of an
ad hoc committee should be broad enough to represent all interests.
Ernest Fox, 731 Fairview Avenue, reiterated his statements made at a
previous meeting and felt any reductions should be on a priority
basis... that police, fire and paramedics should have the first priority -
that the Library hours could be reduced further. With reference to
official meetings he was advised that most of those have been taken
from the budget.
Rita Pithey, 1765 Oakwood, expressed concern about the proposed
property transfer tax and felt it should not be adopted - especially
prior to July 1.
Ed Passmore, 1109 Columbia Road, stated in part that if he is going to
receive some disposable money as a result of Proposition 13 he is going
to donate it to a tax deductible source and suggested others do the
same, He felt the City and other small cities should countermand the
pressures from the State and demand their fair share. He expressed
empathy to the City Council and did not envy their task. He suggested
the possibility that some of the city functions could become separate
businesses .... the street sweeping service for instance.
Jeff Dring, 205 Alice Street, spoke at length concerning the mandate
of Proposition 13 and asked the City Council not to violate the spirit
of the law and pass additional taxing ordinances prior to July l....not
to shift taxes but to cut in order to meet the budget... operate with
what the City has and if there isn't sufficient income then cut
further.
The item scheduled for a public hearing - zone change at 671 Naomi to
the northwest corner of Naomi and Lovell including 1307 - 1315 Lovell -
was continued to July 5. Those in the audience who were interested in
this concurred on the date. This was so MOVED by Councilman Gilb,
seconded by Councilman Pellegrino and carried unanimously. It will be
the first item on the agenda for that date.
Sam Moriana, 826 Camino Grove, also felt the police and fire should not
be cut.. only as a last resort....as a suggestion he said the City
Council might consider divesting itself of the w~ter department...
that it could become a private enterprise; that the residents would
be willing to pay for recreational activities. He would rather see
administration reduced instead of the safety departments. The Police
Chief responded to his inquiry about manning the police cars.
John Joseph, 408 N. First Avenue, stated in part that he thinks the
City Council is on the right track in its deliberations and felt the
suggestion for a committee was unnecessary.. that the City Council has
been voted in to make the decisions.
Donna Maloney, 1710 S. Third Avenue, referred to school classes and
felt if people pay for a class they will stay in the class.
William Groen, 1022 La Cadena, made reference to something he has
heaId concerning the possibility of a sizeable surplus in the City
coffers... The Finance Director responded to this with figures and
suggested Mr. Groen come into the office for further data,

Richard Haskell, 1634 S. Mayflower Avenue, asked if it were not
possible for the race track to pay for the traffic control provided
by the City during race seasons because the track will benefit also from
the reduction in property taxes.,.. He realized that Proposition 13 has
brought about a crisis but felt there are things which can be cut..
He felt there is an immediate cash flow from the race track and
Fashion Park. Mr, Haskell was advised on the proposed increase in
admission tax and Mr. McKinley of Santa Anita Consolidated explained
some of the economics of the race track business.
Mike Ransom, 243 E. Colorado Blvd" stated in part that the idea
propounded by Mr, Spiers concerning combining the police and fire
departments sounds better to him than many of the systems he has
observed throughout the country. He pursued some of the items which
are under consideration in an endeavor to reduce the budget and referred
to agenda items which perhaps are not really necessary, i.e., screening
of the Orange Grove tennis court. When he voted for 13 he was aware
that some of the services would have to be cut..
Pearl Scanlon, 461 W. Palm Drive, told of her work in obtaining
signatures for the initiative and the people want a tax cut, not a
ta~ shift. She felt the police and fire should have priority and what
the City can afford thereafter the people will accept.
I
Bill Krumm, 1626 Rodeo Road, said in part he would not like to lose
some of the amenities which caused him to purchase his home here in the
first place - however he did not favor a committee as the City Council
'fully understands the situation and will do everything it can.
~
V
\
Phil Davenport, 225 W. Norman Avenue, also felt the City Council is
awar~ of the problem and it doesn't need to rely on a citizen's
committee or anything other than an occasional bit of input. He felt
the situation should have been explored months ago, however, he
submitted some areas which might be considered.,. perhaps a merger of
the police with the County Sheriff's Department; that perhaps
contract for projects being done now by the Public Works Department.
o
Herb Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon Avenue, stated in part that he is in
favor of tax reductions but that those who have spoken want it done
in a matter of two weeks which he felt would be very costly in the
long run. He suggested that the City Council proceed with the proposed
sewer and street sweeping charges, the realty transfer tax and adopt
the budget like it always has done. That the ordinances may always
be rescinded at a later date. He submitted that the City Council
represents over 45,000 residents and not just the possible 200 at
this meeting; that it must make decisions as best it can.
,
Q
. .
, .
June Wilson, 1043 Cyrus Lane, stated in part that the people have
spoken,. that they want lower taxes and they want the City to be run
efficiently and economically wise. She felt if the increase in
business license fees is adopted many businesses would leave the City..
She was in favor of increased fees for recreation activities, tennis
cOurts and the like,
Walt Muller, Westerner Motor Hotel, expressed concern at the POSSibilityl_
of the 5% occupancy tax being raised to 6% as under consideration by
the City Council. He felt it is significant to his guests - travellers
and tourists who are spending their money in the community by sales
tax, restaurants, clothing and the like. He asked the City Council to
reconsider.
~~
Francis Fitzgerald, 1718 El Vista Circle, stated in part that the tax
situation now is everyone's fault --- because over the years the
people have demanded from its governmental officials the very best in
schools, playgrounds and the like. The people are now at the point
where they are willing to accept less or they would not have voted for
Proposition 13, He would like to see the people have the opportunity
to vote on specific items... to see if they do or do not want some
services,

Walter Reed, President of the Arcadia Police Relief Association, said
he has been studying the budget as well as the five-year plan because
it is his job to negotiate a wage package this year. This has become
difficult because of Proposition 13. He did not see where the City
Council could make the cuts necessary to make up the amount of money
the City will lose without cutting personnel. He too did not want to
see a cut in the police personnel and hoped the City Council can find
a better way. The people do not seem to want additional costs and
then the only alternative is to cut service. He' simply did not have
an answer at this time.
John Raycraft, 600 San Luis Rey Road, referred to some of the cuts
those in the audience have proposed... because he and others like him
moved to the City to enjoy some of the good services.. police, fire,
library and the li~e. He asked the City Council to consider those
who would not be able to afford any increased charges.,
Grif Sorenson, 1212 Oaklawn, was advised that 85% of the budget is
represented by salaries. Mr. Sorenson felt it is at the point where
cutting paper clips, rubber bands, telephones, automobiles and
gas would not reduce the budget sufficiently.. that now it has
to be in the area of manpower which of course is not desirable. He
asked the City Council to give the voters an opportunity to decide
whether or not the level of service is going to be adequate. He
recalled that when all other school districts were voting down money
issues this City gave the local school such support.
Joseph Sargis, 1611 Highland Oaks Drive, reminded the City Council that
it was elected not by just the few hundred who are at this meeting but
by the entire City - that the Councilmen were elected because of the
trust of the people - they trust the City Council to make the right
decisions for them or the Councilmen would not be in office...the
people trust the Council to maintain the quality of life so if hard
decisions must'be made he suggested the Council go ahead and pass
unfavorable hikes to maintain the city as people expect.. that it is
something more than a legal obligation.
In response to an inquiry as to when an answer from Sacramento would
be forthcoming ... Mayor Parry said in part he did not know arid the
City Manager corroborated this observation --- and said further that
the amendment stipulates that the tax will be distributed according
to law.,. but there is no law.. so it has to come through the normal
legislative processes. In response to another inquiry the City
Manager explained that the City operates under a constitutional grant
of authority.
At this time the hearing on the budget was CONTINUED to JUNE 24,
1978 at 8 a.m, in the Council Chamber.
On MOTION by Councilman Saelid, seconded by Councilman Margett and
carried unanimously Councilman Gilb was 'excused.
Staff submitted a report on the status of the proposed recreation
field development project at California Street (First Avenue School
playfield plus portions of the school district owned property on the
north side of California Street and a portion of the street itself. )
Staff has also prepared the necessary grant applications for the
expansion of 'this facility and as part of these applications an
initial study and negative declaration was prepared and the Planning
C~ission reviewed same and recommends approval.
Mayor Parry declared the hearing open and no one desiring to be
heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Margett, seconded
by Councilman Saelid and carried unanimously. It was then MOVED by
Councilman Saelid, seconded by Councilman Margett and carried on roll
