Rev, James E. Holland, Church of the Good Shepherd Mayor Edward L, Butterworth PRESENT: ABSENT: Councilmen Arth, Considine, Hage, Helms, Butterworth None On MOTION by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman Arth and carried unanimously the Minutes of the Special Meeting of August 13 and the Regular Meeting of August 18, 1970, were APPROVED. Request of the owner-operator of the City Refuse Service Company under contract with the City for residential pickup of refuse. Mayor Butterworth declared the hearing open. Kenneth Norman, owner of the company for the past 2~ years, submitted that he had met with the Committee appointed to study his request (City Manager, City Attorney and the Finance Director); that he had turned over to them all substantiating records including financial statements and income tax records. He presented photographs of various properties with rubbish containers on the curbs awaiting pickup indi- cating some of the problems encountered by the service company with the amount of refuse exceeding the limitation of 100 pounds for the basic $2 per month rate charged at the present time due to increased natural foliage growth, the advent of the 'no return' bottle, the banning of the home incinerator - that rubbish from the average household has increased almost 100 percent and the residents are consistently placing more rubbish out as there is no other way to dispose of it. And noted that gardeners have discontinued hauling away tree cuttings and the like - due to the dumping fees and the location of the dumps. He noted that the residential routes produce approximately 2600 tons of refuse per month and referred to the ever mounting operation and administrative expenses such as labor, fringe benefits, equipment replacement, fuel expense, dumping fees, taxes in all forms, general insurance items and anticipated further increases due to current business trends; that the company had not requested a rate increase in 14 years. He is asking for an increase in the basic residential rates from $2 to $3 per month and that the volume be increased from the present 100 pounds, which is being exceeded, to 200 pounds; that the multiple rate be increased from $1 to $1.50 per unit per month, In answer to whether or not he could establish a dual rate he stated in part that it would be difficult to administer. The possibility of providing containers uniform in size was discussed and Mr. Norman explained they would have to be available in various sizes to meet the need of the resident and expressed interest in residents using the plastic bag which is now available - it would be a benefit to the homeowner as there would be nothing remaining on his curb. 9-1-70 - 1 - 1fn05 ,1./;:- , ~, Discussion held on competitive bidding and reference was made to the circumstances when the original contract was entered into; that the residents did not want a variety of trucks coming into the city to make pickups and to require bids on an annual basis would not encourage the contractor to invest in new equipment. Councilman Helms expressed opposition to an 18 year contract with anyone firm without competitive bidding - that perhaps other companies were performing more efficiently and economically - that there was no way of making a comparison in those areas. Council- man Arth also felt it was too long for one company to have the contract. I Robert Wood, 837 Hugo Reid Drive, referred to the City of Pasadena which has increased its rates twice in the last three years. He felt an increase was justified and that the current operation was a credit to the City. Earl Welch, 930 Singing Wood Drive, stated in part that to him it was incredible that an increase has not been requested during 14 years and urged granting the requested increase. Mrs. Darlyn Thompson, 2242 Highland Vista Drive, stated in part that as a housewife she would not like several different operators collecting refuse; that she has never had a refusal although she has had more than the 100 pounds permitted, She expressed satisfaction with the operation and favored an increase. Richard Godber, 911 Paloma Drive, spoke in favor of the increase and commended the operation. Bernard Fuller, 321 Diamond Street, was not but felt there should be some provision for resident had only small amounts of refuse; good service. too opposed to an increase adjustment in rate when a that basically he has had No one else desiring to be heard the hearing Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman mously. was CLOSED on MOTION by Hage and carried unani- The recommendation of the Committee was then considered with the City Manager commending Mr. Norman on his cooperation in providing the necessary records and explaining the pickup procedure - 9,511 single units, 355 duplexes, 129 triplexes and 4,675 multiple units are serviced between 7 a. m. and 3:30 p,m. The type of equipment was explored and dump site locations were indicated. Complaints have been at a minimum since Mr. Norman assumed operations. A comparison of rates was made with adjacent cities. Facts and figures contained I in the report dated August 13 indicated that the contractee is not receiving a fair return on his investment. The committee recommended an increase of from $2 to $2.50 for single residences and multiple units from $1 to $1.25 per unit with a 200 pound limitation instead of the present 100 pound...the contractor to take away all cardboard containers. Under this rate it was stated the contractor would realize a 7% return. Discussion held on the change in the appearance of the city if uniform containers were used; also the possible recycling of some of the refuse items and on disposable containers currently available. In answer to an inquiry Mr. Norman stated in part that he would be willing to pick up the 200 pounds if granted an increase, but felt that a recheck of his figures would indicate he would not realize a 7% return if he is granted the increases as recommended by city staff. 9-1-70 - 2 - ;: ; I I HEARING (Taxicab Rates) ~~ 11:7706 Councilman Helms referred to a chart of cities surveys and commented that only two cities a re charging over the rate recommended; that all the others are in t~ $2 range, It was noted that the subject company also services the City of Sierra Madre which does its own billing - the rate is $2. Mr. Norman explained that a new contract is now being negotiated with that city. Councilman Arth observed that he is concerned in that at the time Mr, Norman purchased the business 2~ years ago he must have considered it a good investment; that he would be in favor of the recommended increase; that should a higher rate be granted he would then prefer to go on a dual scale. Councilman Arth then MOVED to accept the recommendation of the Committee and effective September 1, 1970, the rates be increased from $2 to $2.50 for single residences and multiple units from $1 to $1.25 per unit; that the amount of refuse to be picked up for these amounts be increased from 100 to 200 pounds, that the contractor remove all cardboard boxes with the refuse. Motion seconded by Councilman Hage and carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Arth, Considine, Rage, Helms, Butterworth None None It was the consensus of Council that it looks to the day when the appearance of the City will be improved through some type of uniform container. Staff will consider and report to Council on November 3, 1970. Mr. Norman will assume responsibility for notification to the residents of the aforementioned changes in fees and service. Request of the San Gabriel Valley Cab Company for an increase in rates. Mayor Butterworth declared the hearing open and the President of the franchised company, Walter J, Connolly, Jr., based his request on increasing costs in labor, increased wages for employees other than the drivers, insurance rates and increased costs of the vehicles, parts, tires, gasoline and other items. The p~esent and the requested increased rates are as follows: Present: $ .50 for the first 1/5 mile or fraction thereof $ .10 for each additional 1/5 mile or fraction thereof $ .10 for each 1 minute waiting time or traffic delay Request: $,60 for the first 1/6 mile or fraction thereof $.10 for each additional 1/6 mile or fraction thereof $.10 for each 1 minute waiting time or traffic delay In discussing the service Mr. Connolly expressed regret that Councilman Considine experienced a 45 minute wait for a taxicab which never did arrive and felt with the increased rate the company would be able to operate more efficiently through increased compensation and benefits. He submitted that the County checks the meters on an annual basis. It also spot checks during the year. The vehicles are replaced every two years. The Company serves ten cities plus County areas. No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman Hage and carried unanimously. The City Manager recommended granting the increases and referred to his report which stated in part that based on all records submitted by the Company they are indicated; that all cities served have already granted increases or will in the near future and that the quality of service has for the most part been favorable. 9-1-70 - 3 - 1(/,7707 Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman Arth and carried on roll call vote as follows, that the recommendation be accepted and that the increases as outlined above be APPROVED. Councilman Helms stated he would vote with reluctance as he felt the impact would be felt by the elderly, those on fixed incomes, those most dependent on the taxi service. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Arth, Considine, Hage, Helms, Butterworth None None I L PERSONNEL On recommendation of the Personnel Board it was MOVED by Councilman BOARD Considine, seconded by Councilman Hage and carried on roll call vote -u',I, j?,' as follows, that the class specifications for the part time position f:.

In each instance sufficient funds are in the current budget. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Arth, Considine, Hage, Helms, Butterworth None None YOUTH COMMISSION Maureen Johnson, Chairman of the Youth Commission, read in full a letter requesting $300 for entertainment at the Wilderness Park - an Ecology Concert - on Sunday, September 20. Also $75 for canned soft drinks, all fees collected from this particular source would be returned to the City. /1.' Itemization: $200 for a Hollywood based band ($100 for equipment handling, moving, set-up and $100 for union fees). $100 for local entertainment (two bands at $50 each). $75 for refreshments. Miss Johnson noted the time element involved, that there isn't time to embark on a fund raising campaign inasmuch as school does not open until September 14. She said no tickets would be sold at the gate. That because such an event was so successful some months ago it was decided by the Commission to hold another. MOTION /1 //;' 1ft .., -../',/ d..~ Y;oZ ~. - "J Councilman Helms MOVED that the Council appropriate $300 from its Contingency Fund for the purposes indicated and that $75 be supplied from the City Revolving Fund for refreshments. Motion seconded by Councilman Hage. I Considerable discussion ensued with Councilman Considine stating in part that to him there was a principle involved; that the Commission should work within a budget like all other boards and/or commissions, thereby learning government participation, that if an event is enter- tainment it should be self-sustaining such as those sponsored by the City Recreation Department. He said he would rather appropriate $500 at this time as a budget base and have the Commission program itself and submit to Council for approval. He did not see where this would work a hardship as students from junior high grade through high school plan ahead for activities. That undoubtedly it needed guidelines f,om Counc il , 9-1-70 - 4 - I BUDGET PREPARATION ..--- PARADE INQUIRY ........- WEED COSTS INQUIRY ~' I NON-CONFORMING USE EXTENDED .--- TRANSMISSION LINE CONSTRUCTION (Matter Delayed until 9-15-70) /' 11: 7708 Councilman Arth questioned the type of activity the city is now being asked to underwrite, and also referred to special events of this nature put on by the City which are self-sustaining; that he recognized guidelines will have to be evolved over a period of time and experience. He felt that due to the little time in which to plan he would be willing to go along with this request with the understanding that in future years the Commission would work within a budget. Councilman Hage con- curred in this observation and felt the City should provide some assistance in helping the Commission get started. f Councilman Helms stated in part that youth should be encouraged to learn to function and operate within a democratic form of government; that certainly guidelines are in order; that Council should lay down some positive direction, but in his opinion, the subject expenditure is a proper use of public funds; that it is a worthwhile project and of value to the community. He pointed out that the Arcadia Beautiful COmmission is also operating without a budget. Mayor Butterworth did not agree and observed that he could not support the motion as stated; that he would favor establishing a base fund at this time from which the Commission could operate; that he was in favor of appropriating the funds and agreed there has been some mis- understanding and lack of experience on the part of the Youth Commission; that the City could best assist them by providing a definite budget. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Arth, Hage, Helms Councilmen Butterworth, Considine None COuncilman Helms then MOVED that the Youth Commission and the Arcadia Beautiful Commission be directed to prepare and submit budgets for the balance of the fiscal year. (Within 90 days). Motion seconded by Councilman Considine and carried unanimously. Mrs. Irene Graham, 1022 La Cadena, was advised to contact the City Manager on her inquiry concerning a parade contemplated by the American Legion Auxiliary. Mrs. Edith Dunn, 101 Palm Drive, was advised to contact the City Clerk concerning her question about the cost of weed abatement on her property. She also referred to the assessed valuation of a parcel of property held in trust and was advised the City has no control over establishing that figure, The request of Mrs. Irene G. Raschka for another extension of a non- conforming use at 45 E. Duarte Road was considered. Council granted her a six months extension on March 17, but she has been unable to secure a tenant for the automobile repair shop during that time. Council, on MOTION by Councilman Rage, seconded by Councilman Considine and carried unanimously, granted her another three months e~tension and went on record as opposing further extensions for the nOn conforming use. Recommendation of the City Manager and the Water Manager concerning the employment of a consulting engineer to prepare plans and specifications for the construction of a 24-inch transmission main in Baldwin Avenue from Foothill Boulevard to Gloria Road. Discussion held on the possibility of city staff doing the subject work which is proposed to cost approxi- mately $6,500 if performed by a consulting engineer. The matter was deferred until the regular meeting of September 15, 1970. 9-1-70 - 5 - WATER METER PURCHASE CONTRACT EXTENDED P.'~,;A, ~ ?,/~".~ TOPICS STUDY AGREEMENT f"t /0 9'" UTILITY AGREEMENT 7 Ut-4437 APPROVED j /!;/-- .$ ~ ~ ./ ~:l71-18 AMENDMENT TO JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT (Santa Clara Bridge) /'- /73'1 If:7709 On recommendation of the City Manager and the Water Manager it was MOVED by Councilman Arth, seconded by Councilman Hage and carried on roll call vote as follows, that the existing contract with Rockwell Manufacturing Company for the furnishing of water meters be extended for one year (terminating August 27, 1971), Staff advised that there is one exception to the contract dated November 27, 1967 - the price on the l~" size meter has been increased 7% because of rising costs, but only a few of this size is needed.

The City Attorney explained the contents of a proposed ordinance regulating noise caused by any air conditioning equipment, pump, fan, or similar machinery on residential property. Operation of any such machinery exceeding 55 decibels, measured at any point on or beyond the property line of adjacent property, would be in violation of this regulation as a-public nuisance. Considerable discussion was held on terminology therein and the measurement of noise. A representative of the Air Conditioning and Reference Institute expressed concern about the requirement being retroactive which is contemplated at the present time. He also commented that in his opinion it would be difficult to meet the 55 decibels.
