man Sae1id with a plaque in appreciation for his seven years of dedica-
ted service to the project ,.. and for his generous contribution of time
and energy, Tony Walker was introduced, Mr. Walker is the Executive Di-
rector. Councilman Saelid responded in part - that in the beginning he
was against this, however, after he was appointed Council Liaison he be-
came aware of the work done by the Project and has been very pleased with
its success and to have been a part of it,
Continued consideration of the proposed budget for 1981-82. The hearing
remaining open Mayor Gilb asked for anyone in the audience who desired
to address the subject, Mrs, Johanna Hofer, 875 Monte Verde Drive, was
advised that four police officers had been approved by Council three
months ago and now there are three new parking control people. Mrs.Hofer
expressed concern about the vandalism at the public schools and recommend-
ed fencing the facilities in an endeavor to discourage this.
Basil Johnson, 10 E, Pamela Road, expreesed disappointment at the results
of the recent special election and felt there was a lot of misleading in-
formation concerning the issue .,. that the citizens acted irresponsibly
and completely spathetic to their responsibilities .,. that the City Coun-
cil should take up this responsib1ity and reimburse the School District
for whatever facilities and services the School District is providing the
City free of charge,
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilman Sae1id, seconded by Councilman Pellegrino,
,In response to a proposal by Councilman Dring that,the race track pick
up the cost of the police for traffic control during its seasons Ray
Rogers, Santa Anita Race Track, said in part that for thirty years the
track has been paying admission taxes out of which the extra police are
paid with the balance generally going into the Capital Outlay Fund ..,
that the police are city employees 'and it is the Council's and the Police
Chief's decision as to what is needed, He submitted" a letter summariz-
ing significant points relative to admission taxes paid by the track.
(Letter dated June 18, 1981 and on file in the office of the City Clerk).
Mr.Rogers stated in part that he would like more time to comment on this
but in summary it would be an unfair increase,

Some discussion on the utility tax paid by the track with Mr. Rogers sub-
mitting that they pay about $25,000 per year in utility tax to the City
and in response to a question by Mayor Gi1b he said they supported the in-
creased measure;
Councilman Sae1id commented in part that he would not like to see the
police responsible to the track rather than to the city" for the safety
of the people going to and from the track and for Arcadia residents,
Councilman Haltom commented in part that the way the track is charged
and billed should be changed so that it keeps step with inflation .. there
is an inflationary factor in the police department ,. that the two facil-
ities should work together toward an equitable solution.
Mr, Rogers also responded to questions propounded by Councilman Pellegrino I
relating to the attendance at the various tracks, '

Counclman Saelid remarked in part that he shares the disappointment of
Mr. Johnson about the results of the election " that he does not attri-
bute this in its entirety at least to misinformation which he felt was
put out deliberately,. that it is similar to the same kind of thing
with the passage of Proposition 13 ,. People are frustrated and infla-
tion is squeezing them on one side and taxes on the other .. they are
just unwilling, at this point to pay additional money for the services
they now receive .. there may be some credibility gap between not only
the City Council but the School District also with the community at
large.
Councilman Haltom commented in part since that there is so much publicity
about misinformation .. there were quite a few improprieties by those in
favor of Measures Nos, A. and B which did not occur by those who opposed
the measures " He agreed that the people are just not ready for more
taxes ,. that he did not think it was the schools at all.. that he did
not think any measure would have passed whatever it was.
Some discussion on the fact that only 26% of the voters went to the polls
with Mayor Gi1b commenting that it was ridiculous and cited a similar in-
stance in Bakersfield recently,. some people did not even know there was
an election taking place.
I
Councilman Dring commented on a communication gap " it is difficult to
get out information in the community,., that not everyone reads the lo-
cal papers.
APPEAL of Conditions 3 and 4 of Planning commission Resolution 1162 which
granted a conditional use permit to operate an eating establishment at 400
S. Baldwin Avenue (Fashion Park) to be known as the Wabbit Hutch, It was
noted that Condition 3 requires an additional exit be provided in an approv-
ed location and Condition 4 provides that restroom facilities be provided
which must be designed to accommodate the pandicapped.

Mayor Gi1b declared the he~~in~ ?~en and Mrs, Joan Coles, 153 Hazel Way,
San Gabriel, explained what they are endeavoring-ita do = to bring a-type -
of fast food facility into the Mall - there will be no cooking on the prem-
ises - no open flames, She spoke to her misunderstanding after a telephone
call to the Building Department of what they should do after a clearance
with the County Health Department .,. She also submitted that there was a
way they could comply with the requirement for a second exit and explained
this .. however, if they had to comply with the restroom facility their
seating capacity would be about 15 rather than the hoped 44.
Dan Reed, Manager of Santa Anita Fashion Park, spoke on behalf of the
Wabbit Hutch saying it would be a benefit not only to the shoppers but to
the employees of Fashion Park ., the use is not a traffic builder ,. He
asked that the eating establishment be permitted to open without the strict
requirement in regard to public restrooms " there are sufficient restrooma
in the Mall itself.
Councilman Haltom queried that in the event of a fire in the Wabbit
Hutch and someone was injured would Mr, Reed be willing to assume the
responsibility for not having enforced tbe requirement of another exit,
Mrs, Coles responded by advising there is an arch window which could be
taken out and a door put in there right off the dining area, But as to
the restroom they just could not do that,
Some discussion held on the possibility of considering the inclusion
of all the restrooms available in the Mall as fulfilling the requirement.
It was brought out that Council has the authority to do this. Fire Chief
Gerald Gardner said in response to a question that the second exit is
definitely required for this occupancy., that the proposed second exit
would satisfy those needs .,. as long as the exits are 33 feet apart.
No one else desiring to speak the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Coun-
cilman Saelid, seconded by Councilman Dring and carried unanimously. It
was then MOVED by Councilman Haltom, seconded by Councilman Pellegrino
and carried on roll call vote as follows that Council find in favor of
the APPEAL as far as the restrooms are concerned; that the condition for
an additional exit be made a requirement and approved by the Fire Chief
and the Planning Department .. i. e" Condition 3 of Planning Commission
Resolution No. 1162 be complied with and Condition 4 be DELETED.

Appeal of the Planning Commission's denial of a request for a home
occupation permit to operate a glass and glazing contracting business
in a residence at 915 N. Santa Anita Avenue. It was noted that the
HOme Occupation Board determined that the application complies with
Conditions 1 (relating to employees) 2 (regarding mechanical equipment)
and 4 (regarding vehicular and pedestrian traffic) .,. however, the appli-
cant does not comply with Condition 5 (relating to storage of equipment)
and Condition 7 (relating to use of required parking space for storage
of equipment etc,) Subsequently this matter went before the Planning
Commission and it was the consensus of the Commission that it did not
have sufficient evidence to make a determination in favor and hence the
application was denied, The applicant appealed this to the City Council.
Mayor Gi1b declared the hearing open and the applicant, Charles From-
herz, stated in part the manner in which his business is operated ,.
they go from job to job ,. the trailer is a portable workshop and was
desgined specifically for this type of work it weighs less than a
one ton truck which is permissible ,. it is no more unsightly than a

boat, camper or the like, It is always parked in the rear of the house
and never left in the front, There is no walk-in trade -- contact is by
phone. He explained the pride he takes in keeping his property up.Photo-
graphs of the trailer were circulated.
Planning Commissioner Joe Sargis, 1611 Highland Oaks Drive, said when this
matter came before the Commission they were really in a quandry ,., they
were impressed by the honesty of Mr, Fromherz, Actually Mr, Fromherz is
not appealing a negative action of the Commission as it did not have the
power to change the ordinance the way it is now written, That it leaves
a lot to be desired with respect to giving the relief to special situa-
tions. (The City Attorney will be asked to check into this).
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilman Dring, seconded by Councilman Sae1id and carried unanimously.

It was MOVED by Councilman Sae1id, seconded by Councilman Pellegrino
that the request be GRANTED with the understanding that no construction
take place at the residential property,
Councilman Haltom stated in part that he would like Council to reconsider
the motion - that he was in favor of the home occupation ordinance - that
he had been by the residence in question and wondered how it was permitted.,.
that actually it is residential property being turned into commercial.
Council noted that Mr, Fromherz had complied with all conditions except
5 and 7 ,.. and they had been explained in detail". the commercial ve-
hicle does not deliver the materials and the storage of the vehicle has
been explained,

Acquisition of leasehold interests at 59 E. Huntington Drive (Pizza ~n/
Chicke~,Delight) and relocation of same. This matter continued to July
7. Agency to enter a Closed Session on this:
The ~eetirig adjourned to June 25 at 7 p.m:
AuDIENCE PARTICIPATION
Council recorivened and Herb Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon Avenue, referred to
the properties which have been destroyed by fire during the Fourth of Juiy
period and suggested that Council give some consideration, if not this year
,: ~ext, to prohibiting the sale ~nd upe of any fireworks in the City; .At
this point Mayor Gilb commented that there will not be a firew~rks display
in the County Park but there will still be the problem of people going to
the park with their fireworks.
Russ Shipman, 1630 W. Covin a Bl:, San Dimas; spoke to the plans which are
underway for the Y~uth Kare School at 5150 N: Farna and that as soon as pos-
sible these will be presented to the Planning Department. Mr,' Shipman also
referred to correspondence which had been sent to the school by the Planning
Director ~.. and said they agree with the contents.
Mrs. Johanna Hofer, 875 Monte Verde Drive, spoke to the need for banning
fireworks within the City and asked Council to consider adopti'ng an emer-
gency resolution to this effect'. She also referred to a resolution (No,
4968) which appears on the agenda for this meeting --- in s'upport of licens=-
I " , "r ' I', '. .
ing San Onofre Power Plant Units 2 and 3. She felt this should have been
called for a public hearing for citizenry input~
WilHam J. Hennessey, 819 Murie'tta Drive, agreed with Mayor Gilb 'tha't it
was appalling that only 26% of the electorate chose to vote June 16 '., '.
and suggested consideration be given to a mail-in ballot which was receil't-
ly used in San Diego, He felt however that with only a 26% vote it was a
mandate that the people do not want any more taxes. (Council 'will be pro-
vided w'ith some data on 'the mail-in ballot at a later date),
Bill Connolly, 815 E, Camino Real, also spoke to the need for 'prohibiting
fireworks in the City... that it is gotten so he does not leave 'his 'home
on the 4th of July because of the possibility of it catching on ffiii.
Basil Johnson, 20 E. Pamela Road, spoke to the percentages in the 'recent
election ." that 60% of the voters who came out to vote voted in opposi-
tion to Measure A... 60% of the 27% who voted means that 16% of the elec-
torate voted to turn down Measure A ... and if that is a mandate ,there is
something wrong with his thinking ,.. that the people just are not for neigh-
borhood schools when it will cost them a few dollars ,., they are on1y.think-

ing about the dollars in their pockets and not willing to face responsibil-
ity ... at this time the mood of the people is if it is taxes they are oppos-
ed to it .. that until the pendulum swings the other way many students of
this City will get a poor education.
Mayor Gilb commented that all of those with children in the school system
were aware of the issue and obviously they did not come out to vote ... the
people who did come out stated their position and they won ... but those
who did not come out he has no sympathy for them.
Councilman Dring stated in part that there is another side that may be con-
sidered .. he did not see that the necessary conclusion from the defeat of
this tax issue is the deterioration of the schools ... the schools have rent-
al property they could sell... they have vacant property they could sell "1
they also have two school properties they could sell and would end up with
more money as it stands now than they would have had the measures passed ...
if they deteriorate go to the School Board .. they were elec ted to '.direc t
that.
Councilman Saelid commented in part he knows the School Board will do its
very best to maintain the quality of education ... that it has been handi-
capped to a significant degree by the failure of the measures to pass .,.
he is anxious to see those who now say they are willing to work to improve
the situation do so ... everyone should get together to see what can be done
to solve the problem.
Councilman Haltom referred to the usage of the word mandate ... that a man-
date is the will of the people .. that the same people who voted for us are
the same people who probably voted ... It is usually the same people who do
not vote .. the people who vote generally vote for school issues or against
but they vote .. and if they choose to recall one of the Council that too
would be a mandate .. that whether it is a win, loss or draw it is a mandate.
Alana Scanlon, 461 Palm Drive, spoke to the danger to the homes from fire-
works .. that she stays outdoors during the 4th of July to see that the rock-
ets do not land on her shake roof. She also referred to the fine education
she received in the Arcadia school system -- but that she does not feel they
are demanding the quality work from the students that was demanded in her
time.
Pearl Scanlon, 461 Palm Drive, told of her experience in obtaining signatures
for numerous petitions during which time she talked with literally hundreds
of peraons whose attitude was they do not want anymore taxation of any nature.
She felt people might have voted for the two school measures if it did not
add to their utility taxes ... perhaps another way... sales tax or the like.
Councilman Saelid responded to this in part by saying that most of those in-
terested in lowering the taxes are the same people who would probably talk
about smaller government -- keeping it on the local level.. not giving it
to Sacramento or Federal but what they are doing is divorcing local control
and sending it on to those agencies ... that he believes the measures would
have gone down because people are feeling the crunch right now.

Referred to the fireworks as brought up earlier in this meeting and said
in part that if the heat wave continues it might be necessary to adopt an
emergency ordinance to disallow the use of fireworks in the City.. he does
not like to see this come about as so many restraints are being put upon the
citizens, but homes must not be burned either. Councilman Haltom agreed
with this observation.

the citizens would know what to expect from the City for taxes and the
