She felt the citizens should have an opportunity to review not only the plans to go into public housing but the County's overall program because it must contain area-wide needs. She expressed the hope that Council would provide an 'opportunity for citizen input. Mrs. Johanna Hofer, 875 Monte Verde Drive, referred to an item on the agenda concerning increasing the formal ad;ertising bid procedure to $10,000, She was informed that the amount is $6,000. She hoped the Southern California Association of Governments' bikeway program could soon become a reality and not be postponed. She questioned the effect on the quiet' environment if the American Legion were allowed one extra day to sell fireworks. She noticed problems with the signals at Baldwin and Huntington and was in favor of the Rose.Garden in the County Park becoming a memorial for Rev. 'Monsignor Gerald M. O'Keeffe. Michael Johnson, 4900 Santa Anita, El Monte, spoke on behalf of the owner of the Arco Gas and Motor Service at 625 W. Las Tunas Boulevard asking Council to consider permitting the owner (Mr. Day) to conduct the operation of tow. trucks on his property at the Arco station. Purpose is to render emergency road service to members of the Automobile Club residing in the Arcadia area which would be solely for minor repairs - no storage. He asked that the ordinance relating to service stations be changed to allow the contract station to' park and operate a tow truck business. He noted that any calls received by the local police department from a club member would be directed to Mr. Day who has been selected by the Automobile Club due to his business image and a citizen of the community. Herb Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon Avenue, suggested Council consider building up a cash rese,ve and only spend funds on projects that are absolutely necessary. Lee Myers, 1022 S. Ninth Avenue, w'!s adviseQ that establishing a mini park on the grounds of the City Library was not pursued and that the tree planting program is progressing. The owner and operator of pinball machines (Gene Beley) at the Santa Anita Bowling Lanes, has requested a reduction in his business licen~e fee. He felt it is a better operation with the machines on the concourse instead of in a private room.- that not as many problems would be encountered. During this consideration Mr, Beley answered questions concerning his gross receipts. Councilman Helms recalled he opposed the introduction of the machines in the bowling alley; that he foresaw problems such as Mr. Beley has related, however, if the machines are to stay he felt there should be a more equitable way of taxing this particular business. It was the consensus of Council that the matter be postponed to permit staff time to study and prepare recommendation. It was MOVED by Councilwoman Lauber, seconded by Councilman Scott and carried unanimously that staff submit alternate methods for business license tax on pinball machines at the next Council meeting (May 20). Council received the results of bids and the recommendation for award of contract for the furnishing and installation of riew overhead doors at Fire Station No.2.

It was MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilwoman Lauber and carried on roll call vote as follows that the provisions of the Purchasing Procedure Ordinance (Sec. 2844.1) with relation to the maximum expenditure without taking bids be WAIVED, and that the ball valve be purchased from the local distributor as being the only type of steel seated ball valve available on the market.

Baldwin Avenue. The report indicated the sub.- grade area underlying the sidewalk had been backfilled with loosely consolidated sand that must have resulted from buildini construction activity on the subject property and could not have resulted from City roadway construction work inasmuch as t,he type of material is not used in roadway construction. It was MOVED by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Saelid and carried unanimously that the Director of Public Works be authorized to notify the tenant and owner of said property that all costs for sidewalk repairs are their responsibility and that no refund shall be made by the City. Council received petitions and an improvement area map for street lights on Camino Real between Sixth and Eighth Avenues. The petition was signed by property owners representing 68 percent of the assessed value of lands abutting Camino Real within the stated limits. The staff report dated May 6 indicated that 5 additional lumen mercury vapor lamps on the existing wood poles could be accomplished at no initial cost. The annual maintenance and power cost, at present rates, would be $329 of which 50 percent or $164.50 would be chargeable to the property owners upon annexation to Zone B of the Consolidated Lighting District. This matter requiring a public hearing it was MOVED by Councilwoman Lauber, seconded by Councilman Saelid and carried unanimously that said hearing be scheduled for MAY 20. It was then MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilwoman Lauber and carried on roll call vote that notices of the public hearing be mailed to the signers of the petition and to the property owners () easterly from Eighth Avenue to the City limits.

Council received the recommendation of the Youth Commission relative to a reorganization of the Commission. Discussion ensued with Council concurring. However, it was the cons~nsus of Council that the Members of the Commission be residents of the City. This would be consistent with the other Boards and Commissions of the City. The Commission would be increased to eleven members. All changes would have to be reflected in the amending Resolution and the By-Laws when they are 5-6-75 - 5 - BIKEWAY IMPROVEMENT (SCAG) Postponed A' SQ A (~- HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT v\ Al;' fl/ 21 :8778 rewritten.

The new By-Laws and an amendment to the resolution establishing the Commission, will be brought back to Council. Council received a draft of a communication which would be directed to the Southern California Association of Governments advising of the City's intention to delay the expenditure of the current year's I S.B. 821 monies until next year when an area-wide bicycle plan is scheduled for completion. . It was explained that the postponing of this year's expenditures would allow the monies to be combined with next year's funds for implementation of comprehensive planned projects which may be a coordinated part of a regional plan and of greater value to the citizens. It was MOVED by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilwoman Lauber and carried on roll call vote that the postponement be APPROVED and that the City Manager be authorized to submit a letter to that effect to SCAG. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Council Members Lauber, Scott, Saelid, Helms, Gilb None None Staff advised that the County. Department of Urban Affairs and the legal staff of the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) have agreed on a revised Cooperative Agreement. If the City signs it would be committed for the fiscal year of 1975 and could if it so desired elect not to participate the following year. The portion of the Agreement applicable to Arcadia indicates the only thing which the County could do for Arcadia would be to provide planning and technical assistance. By the terms of the revised agreement the City would not have any veto power once the agreement has been signed. The Agreement would provide for Cities under 50,000 population to .. receive up to $30,000 for planning studies which could be used by the City in any future community development plan and housing assistance plan. The language of the agreement refers to urban renewal and publicly assisted housing, however, these activities would not be carried out in Arcadia. Staff felt participation for one year would enable the City to develop a current community development base which would assist in determining whether or not to participate next year. Councilman Saelid expressed some concerns: One that the City is considering entering into an agreement which has not been fully I processed by the County and that by signing the agreement the County would be empowered to come into the City to do things which could be changed prior to May 15, 1975. He questioned whether the studies would have been undertaken by the City if it were not for the availability of the Federal funds. He saw this as another threat to local control and could not see the benefit offsetting the cost in terms of local control and noted he has not seen the Plan. Councilman Scott also expressed some concerns ... especially the lack of veto power once the agreement is signed; that historically the City has always planned its own future and he would not like to have the local options taken away. He could not see how local interests could be protected without veto power. He would rather spend $30,000 of the City's own funds than to run the risk of becoming entrapped in something the City could never get out of. Denny Robinson, 1645 Las Flores, San Marino, speaking for the County 5- 6-7 5 - 6 - I ') STREET LIGHTING STUDY (June 17) v IORANGE GROVE BOOSTER STATI~ A;'UvENILE DIVERSION PROJECT 21 :8779 but not for the Board of Supervisors, responded to questions and advised in part that action projects' this year would be primarily in the unincorporated areas; that he did not anticipate any changes in the plan prior to May 15. He said there have been in excess of fifty meetings with various community groups in unincorporated areas and that it is up to the City Councils to hold participation meetings in the incorporated cities.. the law requires at least two citizen meetings prior to going into any action project. .the only .portion of the agreement applicable to Arcadia would be in Section C-9 which indicates the only thing that the County could do for Arcadia would be to provide planning and technical assistance. Councilman Helms felt it is a reasonable approach to eliminating the proliferation of independent programs in Washington in order to get them down to a local level where they could be manageable. He could see no reason for not proceeding at least for one year to see what advantages may be gained although he was not completely sold on the fact that the City stands to gain much. Councilwoman Lauber submitted in part that if she voted in favor it would be a precautionary step as the County is not so much a threat to her as the Federal government in sending down demands. She was advised by the City Attorney that the matter would have to come back to Council within a year if the County is going to continue this type of program. Mayor Gilb expressed understanding of all the viewpoints but stated in part that the proposed agreement is stipulated and could not be changed during the year. And with reference to staff input the County could not move forward without the contribution of the local staff. It was then MOVED by Councilman Helms, seconded by Councilwoman Lauber and carried on roll call vote as follows that the Mayor and City Clerk be AUTHORIZED to execute the agreement in form approved by the City Attorney.
