Jerry Trousdale, Arcadia Church of Christ City Attorney Charles J. Liberto PRESENT: ABSENT: Council Members Gilb, Lauber, Margett, Parry, Saelid None On MOTION by Councilman Parry, seconded py Council Member Lauber and carried unanimously the minutes of the regular meeting of June 7 were APPROVED. Councilman Parry, as Council Liaison to the Youth Commission during the past yea~ presented Awards of Merit to the following retiring Youth Commissioners: Phyllis Mele, Allan Melkesian, Shawn Robinson, Dan Norris, Cathi Stapp. Council Member Lauber, current Council Liaison to the Youth Commission, presented identification cards to new members Shawn Robinson, Nancy Small, David Hahn, Amy Burland, John Papa,. Kelly Firness and Jane Richter. Staff Director, Marc Mueller, was recognized and commended on his work with the Youth Commission. This hearing was continued pending further deliberations. Council Member Lauber advised that she along with the Assistant City Manager met with the Director of HOY and the findings had been incorporated in a compre- hensive'written report which Council has received. It was stated that HOY has agreed to all the conditions set forth in the report. In response to a question the City Manager stated that HOY has agreed to submit quarterly reports no later than the 15th day of the close of the quarter. The City will make quarterly payments to ROY upon receipt of the reports. Payments would not. be made unless and until the report is received. Considerable discussion was then held with the Director of HOY, Norlin, concerning the need for suitable and adequate housing. Norlin detailed efforts in this regard. Buck Mr. At this time, out of fairness attending all the meetings on position on HOY as follows: to those in the audience who have this matter,Council indicated its \ been It was MOVED by Council Member Lauber, seconded by Councilman Gilb that the City support through Revenue Sharing Funds $15,000 for ROY during 1977-78 fiscal year pursuant to the conditions in the report. Prior to taking the vote on the motion some of the Council Members made 6-21-77 - 1 - 22: 9245a statements summarized as follows: Mayor Saelid commented in part that he had previously felt that there are other organizations equally entitled to City funding from which the City has never received a request for support; that after reading the background material contained in the report it indicates a much higher degree of activity than he had credited HOY with. However he is still concerned that the focus seems to be "what the City can do to help HOY" rather than what it can do to help the youth. Obviously HOY cannot satisfy all the needs under its present structure and that is one reason he felt that through Juvenile Diversion referrals this could be accomplished. He-was pleased to see that the City will henceforth receive quarterly reports but it is conceivable that reports could indicate "no service rende,red" and HOY would still receive the City support. Councilman Margett observed in part that it is his understanding, as 1 Councilman Gilb had remarked earlier, that ROY is a preventative program... its degree of success is difficult to measure. Re commended HOY on its'willingness to be open about its activities and he looked forward to the day when HOY would be self-sufficient'which he felt HOY desired just as much. Councilman Parry agreed that HOY is doing a good job'and he was 'impressed with the background material and the report submitted by HOY, but he would rather go through Juvenile Diversion'which he is planning to support. That he, assumes that at least 50% of any money appropriated for Juvenile Diversion will go to ROY. He felt the Diversion Project offers more administrative control and Council has more direct control. He then MOVED to AMEND the primary motion to provide $7,500 for HOY. (This motion died for lack of a second.) Mayor Saelid observed in part that he could not, support the amendment as he is looking for some controls feature. Re then called for the roll call vote on the primary motion. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Council Members Gilb, Lauber, Margett Council Members Parry, Saelid None (MOTION) Councilman Parry then MOVED to continue the support of the Juvenile Diversion Project for another year in the amount of $22,000. Councilman Margett seconded the motion. C. Parry noted that 'a cer~ain percentage 'would be for administrative costs and the rest for actual treatment controlled by the Board of Directors. That the City receives reports indicating the number of persons treated and data as to the referral agency such as HOY. The $22,000 represents 11% of the actual total budget. Roll call vote as then taken on the motion. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Council Members Gilb, Lauber, Margett, Parry, Saelid None None The Revenue Sharing Budget will be before Council again on June 27. 1 /1 \,(', HEARING ~ BUDGET (June 27) Deliberations continued on the Budget for 1977-78. It had been noted that the Chamber of, Commerce appropriation was not in the same amount as last year although the Chamber had requested the same $39,970. Lyle Cunningham, 475 Oxford Drive, member of the Chamber Executive Board, submitted that the Chamber will have to increase its dues from the business men in order to balance its budget for next year and asked that the same amount as last year be approved. Discussion on the functions performed by the Chamber. Mr. Cunningham will carry back to the Chamber the desire of Council to have the 6-21-77 - 2 - 2Z:9245b specific promotional activities of the Chamber identified in its budget. It was the consensus of Council ,that $39,970 be budgeted for the Chamber in 1977-78. Council turned its attention to the Water Department budget and the forthcoming rate increase. The Water Manager answered questions on water consumption and what effect the rate increase would have..... based on the 6~ increase and a 10 percent reduction in water consumption it would amount to about an 8 percent reduction in water sales. 1 Council Member Lauber then read in full a communication from Joseph F. Vokoun, 1201 Oaklawn Road, protesting the rate.increase. He suggested that a study be made to quantify the costs before the rate increase is put into effect. This communication will go to the Water Manager for response. Herb Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon Avenue, referred to the water increase and suggested that Council look into the possibility of having the County facilities'within the City go elsewhere for the water it uses. He felt this could be easily done because the system is going to be hooked into the Metropolitan Water District shortly. LeRoy Speirs, 312 Palm Drive, spoke at length on the matter of water, not specifically rates, but he said perhaps his remarks would have some influence relative to the rate structure. He noted the background material he had gathered from many reliable sources indicated there is not a water shortage in southern California now or in the foreseeable future. He could not understand the action of Council in enacting an ordinance to protect the water rights when there isn't a problem. He agreed that water should be conserved but the City should not adopt an ordinance' which ultimately becomes a revenue producing ordinance. He evidenced charts showing levels of water from 1933 to 1976 taken from reports compiled by the San Gabriel Basin Water Master which are a matter of public record and available to everyone. He asked Council not to adopt the subject ordinance.. that if revenue must be increased he suggested raising the property tax rate from which he could obtain a tax break but when the water rates increase he receives. no benefit taxwise. The Water Manager observed in part that he had been advised by the Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District that water will not be available from the Metropolitan Water District for recharging ground water basins and unless rainfall returns to normal there will not be any replenishing water available... As to the water conservation ordinance two water districts have written the department asking for consideration of such an ordinance. It was noted that this ordinance if adopted is one which phases in various controls as Council sees fit due to the crisis at that time... that if a crisis does not occur of course ~t will not go into effect. 1 Mayor Saelid advised a person in the audience that a communication concerning sidewalk installation will be turned over to the Director of Public Works. Council will continue its deliberation on the City Budget o~ June 27. I 6-21-77 - 3 - HEARING (Text , Amendment X 0.. to allow Car Wash) APPROVED P'. HEARING (MODIFICATION) APPROVED 22: 9245 c Appeal from the decision of the Planning Commission to deny the request of Ed Simpkins, Jr., for a text amendment to the Arcadia Municipal Code w[lich would chat;lge the definition of !'Automobile Car Wash" to permit self-service coin operated car washes. Pro and con reasons for this action were set forth in a report dated June 21. The Planning staff had recommended approval of the request as it believed the conditional use permit process would allow review of all such applications and place restrictions for proper development and maintenance. Mayor Saelid declared the hearing open and the applicant, Ed Simpkins, Jr., 6361 Sherry Lane, Long Beach, stated in part that there is a need for this type of facility which would entail an investment of between sixty and eighty thousand dollars for the construction of four bays plus the land. He explained statistics he had gained from contacting other cities which reflected no problems encountered. 1 Ed Simpkins, Sr., spoke to the matter and felt that with the conditional use permit process controls could be set and that the noise should not be a factor as the proposed location adjoins the rug cleaning establish- ment and is in a commercial zone with the closest apartment house about 300' away. No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Council Member Lauber and carried unani- mously. Council Members Gilb, Lauber and Margett felt there is a need for a facility of this nature and were inclined to agree with the recommendation of the Planning Department. They had no objections. However, Councilman Margett expressed concern for the appearance of the facility once it is constructed..that there are ways to make them attractive. Councilman Parry felt it would not be in the best interest of the city to permit unattended car washes as there are potential problems which could develop including the possibility of vandalism. Mayor Saelid said he felt the facility could be attractively constructed however he too felt it would not be in the best interest of the City and referred to the recommendation of the Police Department for denial of the application. He supported the Planning Commission. It was then MOVED by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilman Margett and carried on roll call vote as follows that Council approve and file the Negative Declaration and find that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment and that the decision of the Planning Commission be reversed and that the appeal be GRANTED. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Council Members Gilb, Lauber, Margett Council Members Parry, Saelid None Appeal from the decision of the Planning Commission in denying a request for certain modifications in connection with a proposed R-3 development at 511 E. Live Oak Avenue. The requests were for 1) 18 units in lieu of the 17.7 allowed and 2) building length of 217 feet in lieu of 165 feet maximum allowed by Code. The majority of the Commissioners felt the density bonus would allow a too dense develop- ment and the building length requirement was also intended to act as a density control. The others on the Commission felt the project was well designed and would be an improvement in the area. The applicant, Ralph J. Harris, has subsequently indicated a willingness to reduce the project to 17 units however this would not alter the general configu- ration of the building on the site. 1 Mayor Saelid declared the hearing open ani the architect for the de- velopment, John Cotton, 9601 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, exhibited drawings of the proposed condominium and advised in part that it is now planned to construct underground parking for 34 cars plus 3 spaces for guests on the ground floor level landscaped for appearance. Areas for patios, pool and landscaping were indicated. It was noted that an apartment complex to the west is 254 feet in length and the one to the 6-21-77 - 3a - ~1:;-r':!'-f.I1~'-?';~~ :~-:~J{':.-":.....~:..-.:.: 22:9246 north is 280 feet in length however both were constructed prior to the restriction on length. Ralph Harris, 124 S. Oakhurst Drive, Beverly Hills, noted that this matter has been on-going since last October and said he would appreciate anything Council could do to shorten the time element. 1 No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Margett, seconded by Council Member Lauber and carried unani- mously. In its deliberations Council noted the reduction in units from 18 to 17,' The appearance of the length of the building has been relieved by architectural features and parking is now planned for underground which would provide additional 'open space' which has long been desired by Council. It was then MOVED by Council Member Lauber, seconded by Councilman Margett and carried on roll call vote as follows that the Planning Commission's recommendation be reversed and that the appeal be granted. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Council Members Gilb, Lauber, Margett, Parry, Saelid None None 1 HEARING (BINGO) APPROVED Application of the Cantwell Columbian Building Corporation (Knights of Columbus, Archbishop Cantwell Council No. 3073) for a license to permit bingo games at 403 S. First Avenue. Council received the recommendations by various concerned departments and all had approved the application pursuant to conditions. It was noted that games will be played four and not more than five times each month with only one scheduled for June. Hours would be from 6:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. Mayor Saelid declared the hearing open and Ernest Thomas, 167 E. California Street, spoke in favor of the application. No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Council Member Lauber, seconded by Councilman Parry and carried unanimously. It was further MOVED by Council Member Lauber, seconded by Councilman Margett and carried on roll call vote as follows that the application be APPROVED. and that a license be issued pursuant to all conditions.

Huntington Drive) substantially complies with the tentative map and conditions which had been approved on January 4. It was MOVED by Council Member Lauber, seconded by Councilman Parry and carried unanimously that the final map be APPROVED. RECESS In order to act as the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency Council recessed. RECONVENED - AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION John Joseph, 408 N. First Avenue, commented that the State Legislature is considering a bill wherein the fee for bingo is less than what is being charged by this City. The City Attorney explained and submitted that should this bill pass the City could very well refund any over- charge. Herb Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon Avenue, spoke to the expensive maintenance 6-21-77 - 4 - G & S TOWING SERVICE (Insurance) (July 5) I 'L 'I X f ,I d ~ " INSURANCE r (GENERAL LIABILITY) GILB EXCUSED f; INSURANCE Exces s & Agreement Renewal APPROVED ADVERTISE J' FOR BIDS 1976-77 STREET MAINTENANCE 22:9247 problem of the center divider in Santa Anita Avenue and suggested that the. City devise some means for more economical maintenance methods. Council received the request of the G & S Towing Service for a reduction in its liability insurance requirement of $1,000,000 to $500,000 or increase the towing rates to cover the cost of the additional expense in obtaining the required coverage. It was noted that this was known at the time the Agreement was signed and that the insurance carrier for G & S had apparently given assurance that the' required amount could be obtained. The insurance situation has changed greatly and it would noW cost G & S about $5000 annually to carry the, requested amount. Glen Revere, associated with G & S, stated in part that initially they 1 had an insurance carrier who said he could supply the insurance but chat subsequently the insurance company had ceased insuring the towing business; that they have been endeavoring since that time to obtain the $1,000,000 coverage. LeRoy Speirs, in response to an inquiry, said in part that premiums are based on exposure and that claims and judgments have been in such horrendous amounts that the insurance companies cannot survive. He would doubt G & S can obtain the required coverage unless they go chrough some company like Lloyds.... that there is no solution except co pay the large premium. During the ensuing discussion Council expressed concern that the City could suffer if G & S did not carry adequate coverage and that perhaps the towing rates should be increased. It was MOVED by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Council Member Lauber and carried unanimously that the matter be tabled for two weeks and that during the interim staff meet with G & S and return to Council with an outline, of just what position Council is in at this time~ On recommendation of the City Manager it was MOVED by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilman Margett and carried on roll call vote as follows chat the following General Liability coverage be APPROVED.

James and Company, Self-Insurance Services Division, under the same terms and conditions for the period from July 1, 1977 to June 30, 1978 be renewed. 1 AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Council Members Lauber, Margett, Parry, Saelid None Councilman Gilb On recommendation of staff it was MOVED by Councilman Margett, seconded by Council Member Lauber and carried unanimously that the plans and specifications for the 1976-77 annual street maintenance program, A.

The City Council, on F~bruary 1, 1977 authorized the employment of Warren C. Siecke and Associates to prepare a study and recommendations for the improvement of traffic signals on Huntington Drive from Holly to Michillinda. Council received a copy of this study in which it recommended a computerized, traffic responsive and interconnected traffic signal system. This would result in the antiquated signal controllers being replaced with modern solid state equipment along with other changes to upgrade the system. The master controller would be located in the Department of Public Works Office in City Hall. The estimated total cost would be $320,000. Warren Siecke, 2014 S.
