unanimously that the final map for a 28 unit condominium at 1161 W.

The Planning Commission recommended approval of the final map of Tract
No. 19872 subject to the continued compliance by the applicant of all
conditions stipulated in the approved tentative map. Whereupon it was
MOVED by Councilman Arth, seconded by Councilman Considine and carried
unanimously that the final map for an 18 unit condominium at 1018-1022
W. Duarte Road be APPROVED subject to all conditions.
Planning Commission Resolution No. 738 denying a zone change for
1243 Lovell Avenue. An application was filed for reclassification of I
said property from R-l to C-O. In the Commission's findings it was noted
that the subject property provides a buffer between the present c-o zone,
on which an 8 story medical building has been constructed, and the R-l
zone; that it would destroy the PR-l buffer zone and is not justified by
either public necessity, convenience, general welfare or good zoning
practice. Inasmuch as the applicant has not appealed the decision for
denial the matter was ordered FILED.
Upon being informed that the applicant has appealed the decision of the
Planning Commission in its denial of an application for a conditional use
permit for a service station and a restaurant at 600-618 N. Santa Anita
Avenue as set forth in Resolution No. 739 a public hearing was scheduled
for July 20, 1971 at 7:30 p.m.

The City Manager advised that the City Firefighters Association had
requested permission for its representative to discuss negotiations
relating to salary and fringe benefits.
Mayor Pro Tempore Hage stated "I would like to make just a few remarks
before we get into this. First of all the only communication that I
personally have seen relative to this is the article which was in the
newspaper. Now the Council has not met with Mr. Francis since the last
meeting which was about two weeks ago. This is the first knowledge we
have had of any disagreement .. not a meeting of the minds. We have
not received anything formal from the Firefighters Association. We
are not aware of the charges you are to present or of which you are
thinking of presenting. The Council is very disturbed that press
announcements should be made before we finish our negotiations because
all this does is to add to the turmoil and prejudges many things as
far as the public is concerned. Now, this is all any of us have seen -
the public announcements in the newspaper. Tonight we will be glad to
hear from any representative who has something to say as far as what
you are talking about in the newspaper. ..you could have a choice - of
either having it recorded on the tape tonight, as we do with all our

Council proceedings, or better yet, we would like to have a written
summary of the things you are talking about so that we may discuss this
with our negotiator, Mr. Francis, and then we may come to a conclusion.
So at this time we will listen to anyone who is going to be speaking
for the Firefighters Association and we would appreciate it if you would
limit your remarks."
It was noted by Mr. Povero that Don Donnelly, Employee-Employer Relations
Consultant for the Firefighters Association, could not be present and
Mr. Donnelly's letter of June 14, 1971 was read into the record by
Mr. Povero. "Due to commitments beyond my control and the fact that we
hoped right to the last minute that your representative might show SOme
sign of good faith in the meeting and conferring process, I cannot
personally attend your council meeting. The Arcadia Firefighters now
officially request a representative that is willing to show tangible
signs of intention, representing the City's position. Your present
representative has used many ploys to delay and discourage our honest
attempt to come to an agreement. This request is in no way to be con-
strued as anything personal with the parties involved. We seek only to
find a means in which agreement can be found. Due to the fact of the
delays aforementioned we respectively recommend that the ultimate wage
package agreed upon in negotiations be effective July 1, 1971 by your
motion prior to July 1 since law negates the possibility of passing
said package retroactively. Thank you for your consideration of this
urgent matter."
On behalf of the Association, Mr. Povero then made the following
statement: ffr could at this time reread last years speech I presented
to this most august body as the same conditions, even worse than those
of last year, still prevail. I have gone over the minutes of last
yearls council meeting and I find recognition by councilmen that we are
exceptional. We are above average and we are worthy of remuneration in
excess of the level that this city now pays us. There is one point
perhaps you can clarify at this time. On June 30 of last year you
stated that we would be based on the average of the 16 cities we were
allowed to survey and one week later you show in your minutes that we
were getting $934, 1069 and 1180. In reality we received $919, 1038
and 1145.
"We have made at least 7 proposals to Mr. Francis that we feel are in
line with current prevailing practices and we were rejected Qut of hand.
We feel that it is his position to at least present these proposals to
the manager or to this body instead of off handedly dismissing them as
ridiculous, absurd and out of line. Statistically we have shown we are
below average and we had Mr. Francis' solemn word that any deficiencies
discovered would be adjusted. Thi,s is what we are seeking - bring us
up to prevailing rates and we will then negotiate the issues at hand
for this year. Most of the cities we have talked to have no problem in
negotiations because their cities are open to negotiation and can be
shown statistically where the department is deficient and are inter-
ested enough to raise that department at least more in line with pre-
vailing practices. This city seems toladopt the attitude of - give
them the least that you can get them to accept. Even in statistical
comparison Mr. Francis tries to put us in the exact minimal percentile
and gentlemen this is unacceptable. We will not be treated less than
men and we will not accept less than average this year. As we stated
last year, this is not a poor city. In the face of our requests you
cut the tax rate last year, probably confident that we would be
satisfied with less than average. I would like to present a few
statistics to give you a visual picture that reveals our status as
close as we could compute it.lI
At this point in his presentation Mr. Povero displayed two charts in-
dicating the result of a survey made of the 16 cities. He stated in
part that Arcadia's hourly salary is $4.42 whereas the average is
$4.81. He explored sick leaves, insurance coverage, in comparison and
continued that in July they will appear even more deficient. Dis-
cussion ensued on whether or not the charts should be submitted in
evidence for Council study and distribution if need be and Mr. Povero
said he would loan them for a day or two but would rather not have

them reproduced. He said in part that Mr. Francis had the information
reflected on the charts with the exception of the statistical averages
for all benefits, which could be detrimental to other fire departments -
that he felt a sense of loyalty to his fellow firemen in this regard.
The City Attorney advised that submitted material is for the record,
is public data and may be copied for distribution.
Mr. Povero then continued his presentation: "Every department is dis-
satisfied with this year's negotiations. We have been in contact with
all of them and they feel as strong or stronger on some issues than we
do. This to us is evidence of the lack of real negotiations, the lack
of a real interest in working toward a settlement. Some departments
have not even been thought enough of to be given a written proposal.
How are we to ascertain what we are to expect if there are no concrete I
offers. I would like to suggest an Ouija board to get an idea..at
least we would know as much as we do now. But, seriously, if all
departments feel extremely strong that they are not being bargained
with in good faith that would indicate that the negotiator and the
agent or agency who establishes his criteria and his perimeters within
which the negotiator must endeavor to stay, are not acting in good faith
and are not actively seeking the level of negotiations, in deed or in
spirit, as outlined by the Myers, Milias, Brown Act. We urge you at
this time to either replace our present negotiator with one who is
willing to endeavor to negotiate to the spirit and the letter of the
law, or to set aside a period on the next agenda and prepare yourselves
to negotiate a just settlement with us. We feel, if you put us on the
agenda, that it would be a crowded agenda as all departments would want
a piece of the action to put it in the vernacular and we really do not
feel that this is necessary to have men with a mission so important as
yours, of administering the city, to have to take time out from a busy
schedule to negotiate with the departments that comprise the city
forces merely because the men that are paid to do this job and are paid
very well have not up to this time done the job. In summary we would
like to plead with you gentlemen to assume this responsibility that
has been allowed to lapse, to legislate decent salary and hours,
conditions for all employees, and restore the human element, the dignity,
the pride and love of the employees for tl1etr jobs and for this city."
(Copies of this statement were distributed to Council.)
Mr. Povero enumerated the material left with Mr. Francis and submitted
that they have been offered an one half cost of living increase for
three years provided it doesn't exceed five percent; and the widows
continuance, which he stated in part leaves them still way behind the
average.
Mayor Pro Tempore Hage stated in part that Council had not met with the
negotiator since the time previously mentioned; that this is the first
time it had heard the remarks made by Mr. Povero; that Council would
like to confer with Mr. Francis and then make its determination.
Councilman Butterworth stated in part that Mr.-Francis has been acting
within policy lines established by the entire Council; that the action I
has the support of Council and is within certain guidelines and that no
unreasonable burden should fall upon him as the city labor negotiator;
that any ire is ill directed against Mr. Francis. He continued that
Mr. Povero .has presented the position of his association very well, but
that any criticism directed toward Mr. Francis is undeserved. Mr.
Povero commented that the firemen are aware of this, that they are not
taking offense with Mr. Francis personally but they wish to discuss
their problems with someone willing to negotiate and has the power to
do so; that they are making an appeal to Council to tell them what they
may expect this year.
Forrest Payne, representative of the AFL-CIO, Local 606, spoke on behalf
of the membership consisting of some of the public service personnel
stating in part that it is their intention to negotiate across the
bargaining table and reach a suitable agreement; that what is a suitable
6-15-71

settlement may not exactly coincide with what the City does but that
if there are honest negotiatiops an agreement will somewhere along the
line be negotiated. He referred to Councilman Butterworth's obser-
vation concerning guidelines which had been set forth; that by so
doing the negotiator's hands have been tied at the bargaining table -
that by giving rules and orders of certain guidelines is not free
bargaining. .. He referred to an article by the City Manager in the
local press which could be misinterpreted by the taxpayer - that
although they could also go to the press they preferred to neg06iate
at the bargaining table. He felt the article as he read it gave the
impression that if the employees were to have a salary raise taxes
would have to be increased.
I
Councilman Arth commented that any inference that taxes were lowered
at the expense of employees is completely unfounded because a 5 per-
cent utility tax was imposed for the first time last year which was
the equivalent for part of the year of somewhere between 20~ and 25~
on the tax rate and the reduction of 5~ on the tax rate only partially
compensated for the utility tax.
AUDIENCE
PARTICIPATION
Michael Blake, 1245 Lovell Avenue, spoke of his interest in the future
of property at 1243 Lovell Avenue. A request for rezoning from R-l to
C-O had recently been denied by the Planning Commission. He noted in
part that it is an older parcel badly in need of repair and is most
unattractive as it stands. He noted also that the proposed General
Plan calfS for a C-O zoning. He was advised that the first hearing on
the Plan before Council will be held July 20.
CITY EMPLOYEES' Mrs. Wilma Johnson, representing the City Employees' Association asked
ASSOCIATION if a copy of the Guidelines which had been referred to would be avail-
~~'Lift i' able; that it would help in preparing proposals and asked if proceedings
, '':.f5"'''F. could be expedited. Mayor Pro Tempore Hage submitted that Council

J) R. 1rJ-f.w.,
James Corrigan, President of the Arcadia Police Relief Association,
stated '~e are attempting to meet and confer in good faith with the
city through your agent, Mr. Francis. The observation I would like to
make is this - that if the provisions of the Myers, Milias and Brown
Act are to be met (the act that designates that associations will meet
and confer) it is essential that they do so with the intent to reach
some sort of agreement. We have been unsuccessful two years running
now and don't have much confidence this year of reaching agreement
because of the feeling that there isn't the intent on the part of the
city to reach agreement. Our association would hope that the Council
might direct your agent, Mr. Francis, to if at all possible reach an
agreement. The spirit and the intent of the law is that the agencies
do reach agreements with the associations. We have this intent.
I
"We have refrained from public di'sclosures to newspapers to this point.
We feel frustrated. We have felt frustrated for two years. We have
come within an eyelash on one occasion - that was last year - only to
be frustrated by lack of time in settling the budget on the last day
and really no opportunity to confer sufficiently to reach an agreement.
This is much the same problem we have this year. We went one 30 day
stretch - almost the entire month of May - without being allowed to
meet with Mr. Francis. The statement was that he was unable to meet
with you. We have met with him twice in June. We are scheduled to
meet with him tomorrow morning and I will say in his d~fense that we
met on matters of retirement during that 30 day period. Hopefully
this is because you are attempting through him to reach agreement with
our association. We trust that we will reach this point. We feel that
it will be of benefit to the city to reach this point as well as to our
association. We feel it is essential that if the morale of the city

This item was delayed until later in this meeting at which time Council
informally instructed the City Manager to proceed with the preparation
of a study on the .feasibility of creating assessment districts in the
Chicago .Park section of the City. The study had been proposed by the
firm of Stone and Youngberg, Inc., municipal financing consultants.
Formal action will be taken at the next regular adjourned Council
meeting.
Council received a report on the proposed landscaping and lighting
project for the city library which would apply to the west parking lot
at the subject site. The Librarian advised that a committee composed
of Board members were studying the plan, whereupon it was MOVED by
Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Considine and carried
unanimously that 'the matter be tabled for 30 days. Councilman
Considine suggested that during the interim staff could obtain an
estimate as to the cost of providing a complete lighting system.
Councilman Arth also suggested that because the lighting is required,
due to uses of the facility by other than library patrons (Lecture
Room events and the like), it is possible the cost of the project
should not be a'burden'on the library budget.

The City Manager and Director of Public Works submitted plans and
specifications for the development of Camino Grove Park which would
provide three tennis courts instead of two as originally proposed.
Reference was made to the parking accommodations which will contribute
to improved land utilization. Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman
Considine, seconded by Councilman Arth and carried unanimously that
the City Clerk be authorized to advertise for bids to be returned
July 1. Funds are in the Capital Projects Budget.
The City Manager advised that a communication had been received from
the California Council on Criminal Justice informing the City of its
decision not to fund the West San Gabriel Valley 'Regional Helicopter
system proposal at this time. He submitted that funding could be
sought again next year.

Council received the report of Mayor Pro Tempore Hage, who is Chairman
of the Transportation Committee of the County Division of the League
of California Cities, concerning Assembly Bill 544 which would create
additional revenue for mass transit and for city governments generally.
It was noted in the report that the bill is of particular importance
to cities within the County in assisting in the overall public trans-
portation efforts. In order to indicate support it was MOVED by
Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman Butterworth and carried
on roll call vote as follows that a communication be directed to the
State Senator in support of the bill.

Council received and considered the request of the Arcadia Directory
Company for permission to use the city seal on the cover of its new
telephone directory. Council expressed appreciation for the local
directory but the majority felt the use of the city seal would give
an aura of officialdom to any area of private enterprise in business
for profit; that residents could be led to think the city published
the directory and also the City would be hard pressed not to grant
other requests; that it should only be used for official documents.
However, Councilman Arth was of the opinion that the directory is
mailed to all residents; that it would not be used to promote business
and he would like the citizens to know about the new city seal. It
was MOVED by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Considine
and carried on roll call vote as follows that the request be denied
for reasons so stated.
