The City Manager reported the City Council would be taking action this date to approve
the Engineer's Report prepared by Willdan Associates on the proposed formation of a
Fire Suppression Assessment District, and set July IS, 1997, as the date for a public
meeting and August 5, 1997, for a public hearing. August 5 is also the date scheduled to
count all mail-in-ballots, The City Manager distributed corrections to two pages of the
Engineer's Report related to the annual increase in the assessment to each parcel in the
proposed District and the number of fire engines and squads dispatched in response to a
fire emergency at a single-family residence. The Mayor clarified that the "Special
Benefit" received is the Fire Department response time to a fire call.., four (4) minutes,
rather than a seven (7) minute response time, and the amount of equipment and
personnel to an iuitial response, The Fire Chief explained that up to seventeen (17)
firefighters are deployed to a single-family dwelling fire and up to twenty (20)
firefighters and one additioual engine to a multiple-family dwelling, In response to
Councilmember Kovacic's question of the legality of the City's process to establish a Fire
Suppression District, the City Attorney stated that he has spoken with the City's Special
Counsel, Warren Diven, about this and Mr, Diven said this process was clearly not
prohibited or circumscribed by the section on Fees and Charges in Proposition 2l8.
Also, if the Suppression District passes and the City reduces the Fire Department budget
by the amount of funds received from the District, which will then "free_up" funds for
other City services, according to Mr, Diven that language ("free_up") makes sense, it's
defensible, what the City is doing is not in violation. This, as far as all of the bond
counsel, special counsel, working on these assessment districts for cities are saying. The
City has a legal opinion that the City's process is legal, The Mayor noted that the City
COuncil has the right to reduce the $7,6 million budget of the Fire Department by $2,2
million and not replace the money from the General Fund, which is how the Fire
Department is funded.
In response to Councilmember Chang, the City Manager commented that since the City
is not asking other public agencies to pay the assessment levied on their properties within
the City of Arcadia for fire suppression services, because Arcadia will pay such charges

The City Attorney explained the ballot protest procedure under Proposition 2l8, He I
noted also that ballots are not secret and can be treated as public records. Further this
means that the City can require a written request for examination of the ballots, and this
will allow the City ten (10) days to respond The City Attorney will provide a written
legal opiuion regarding this iSSlle, and also check with the League of California Cities for
additional infonnation,
Following considerable discussion centered on whether or not the voted ballots are public
infonnation before they are opened on August 5th, the Council expressed their concerns
and unanimously agreed that no ballots will be opened before noon on August 5. It was
MOVED by Councilmember Chang, seconded by Councilmember Young and CARRIED
that none of the Fire Suppression District mail-in ballots shall be opened until August 5,
1997,
The City Attorney will prepare a legal opiuion as to whether or not the ballots could be
construed to be public records before August 5, 1997, and, if so, could the envelopes
contaiuing SIlch voted ballots be opened by persons SIlbmitting a written request for SIlch
records,

PUBLlC HEARING
~
The City Manager presented an overview of the budget process and the efforts of the City
Council to resolve the $1.5 million shortfall in the FY 1997-98 Operating Budget and a
spending plan for FY 1998-99,
On April 30, 1997, a City Council study session was held at which the Council gave staff
direction on the budget, including the potential creation of special assessment districts,
Copies of the Preliminary Operation Budget for Fiscal Year 1997-98, which included the
potential creation of a Fire Suppression District, were distributed to the City Council in
mid-May 1997, On June lOth an additional study session was held to further discuss the
Operating Budget and the Capital Improvement Program.
The preliminary Operating Budget under consideration this day does not take into
account any potential revenue from a Fire Suppression District. If the District should be
approved through the majority protest procedure, additional revenue will be generated
annually and the projected deficit in the FY 1997 -98 budget eliminated. At this date the
budget will be balanced by using reserve funds and fee adjustments pending the outcome
of the mail-in-vote for the Fire Suppression District on August 5, after which
modifications will be made to the operating budget.
In reference to the Five-Year Capital ImprovementlEquipment Acquisition Program,
1997 -98 through 200 l-02, the City Manager noted the Capital lmprovement Program
(ClF) was reviewed by the Planning Commission on June lO, 1997, in accordance with
the State Government Code, and the Commission determined that the proposed ClF was
consistent with the General Plan.
The Five-Year ClF is a general financial plan for capital improvements and the proposed
means of financing the improvements, The major projects proposed for FY 1997 -98 are
as follows: An update of the City aerial map; street rehabilitation projects; sidewalk
repair program; annual slurry seal program; park renovation; water facility projects; a
speed reduction project on Wheeler Avenue; and various equipment purchases; also,
$200,000 for improvements to City Hall.
Mayor Harbicht OPENED the public hearing,
Gail Marshall. 2300 block of Lee Avenue, referring to the Information Sheet sent out to
property owners with the mail-in-ballot for the proposed Fire Suppression District, asked
for clarification of the statement regarding restricted CitylRedeve10pment moneys used
for redevelopment projects and street improvements in the Downtown 2000 project,
which cannot be used for general City services, The Mayor clarified that Redevelopment
funds can only be used for redevelopment projects; water funds for water facilities and
services. These funds have no effect on the City General Fund budget... they may only be
spent on the specific related facilities or services, As to the City water system, it is an
aging system and water funds are collected and put aside to replace some parts of the
water system, such as, wells and reservoirs which were built in the 1920' s, on a pay-as-
you-go basis, Water funds were used in the Downtown Project for improvements to the
water system, which needed to be done,

The Mayor announced that the Council has met numerous times to study the City budget
problem. The General Fund budget is approximately $1.5 million out of balance, The
Council is going to adopt the budget which contemplates the use of reserve funds,
however, if the Fire Suppression District does not pass Council will reopen the FY 1997-
98 budget and consider various spending cuts to bring it into balance. The potential cuts
in services are outlined in the lnformation Sheet which accompanied the mail-in-ba1lot
for the Fire Suppression Assessment District.
AYES: Councilmembers Chang, Kovacic, Kuhn, Young and Harbicht

In March, 1997 the Water Division presented a Water Master Plan to the City Council
for approval. The Master Plan represents the Water Division's best projection over the
next twenty (20) years on needed improvements to the water system. The Plan represents
over $46 million in expenditures on Capital Improvement projects, The projects range
from small pipeline improvements to construction of new water wells and large water
storage reservoirs, The City Council has had a policy of adopting small water rate
increases each year rather than waiting and executing large one-time rate increases, The
Water Master Plan has taken that policy into consideration and is prepared to ensure that
sufficient revenues are in place when needed, now and in the future,
At the June 3, 1997 meeting, staff presented a report on the proposed water rate increase,
and at that time, the City Council directed that a resolution to adopt the lO% water rate
increase be placed on the June l7, 1997 agenda for approval. This 10% will increase the
water rate from $,92 to $1.07 per 100 cubic feet and the bimonthly service charge by
l5o/o.
The proposed expenditures for the Water Operating Budget for 1997-98 are $5,737,830.
In preparation of this budget, staff has evaluated each account and where possible,
reduced operation and maintenance expenditures while maintaining the reliability of the
water system, complying with water quality standards, and retaining the existing level of
service. The operating budget for 1997 -98 is 3,7% lower than the 1996-97 budget
With the proposed replacement of two major reservoirs in the next two years (Upper I
Canyon and Sl Joseph) resulting in capital expenditures of $3,223,l50 in 1997-98 and
$5,369,600 in 1998-99, it is necessary to raise the water rate 10% in order to continue
transferring funds from the Operating Fund to the Facilities Replacement Fund. The

current balance of the fund is $7,590,000, Based upon future replacement costs of over
$100 million for the City's aging water system the fund is under-funded, With Council's
approval of the proposed water rate increase, the Water Division will be able to transfer
$4,000,000 to the Facilities Replacement Fund. '
Mayor Harbicht OPENED the public hearing, No one came forward to address the City
Council, and it was MOVED by Councilmember Kuhn, seconded by Mayor Pro tern
Kovacic and CARRIED to CLOSE the public hearing.
In the discussion, Council member Chang stated in part, that he would like to see the
wording in the resolution changed to "will not exceed the amount necessary to fund the
long term operation of the City Water System.
The City Attorney, Maintenance Services Director Malloy and Mayor Harbicht each said
they would have no objection to the requested change.
Mayor Pro tern Kovacic felt that the water rate increase could be delayed one year or until
the returns are in from the maiI-in-ballot for the Fire Suppression District.
Mayor Harbicht noted the operation of the City water system is totally separate from
other City operations. The proposed water rate increase and start-up increase has no
effect on the General Fund budget The water system charges support the water service,
He feels the request for an increase is a prudent approach to ensuring the long term
health of the City's excellent water system, The Mayor strongly supports the pay-as-you-
go plan for the water system.
Counci1member Kuhn agreed that she would like to stay with the Water Master Plan,
Councilmember Young believes that the proposed increase is a big enough change that it
could last a while,
It was MOVED by Councilmember Kuhn, seconded by Councilmember Young and
CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that RESOLtmON NO, 5997, entitled: "A
RESOLtmON OF 1HE CITY COUNClL OF 1HE CITY OF ARCADIA,

Councilmember Young commented that she receives the Sierra Madre news over
Channel 20 vel)' nicely, however, she does not receive the Arcadia news over this
channel. She would like to have this problem corrected, The City Manager noted the
City has been in contact with TCI Cablevision regarding this problem. Residents should
complain directly to TCL this might help if enough subscribers did so,
I
Councilmember Kuhn attended a California Association of Realtors meeting in
Sacramento recently and spent time with Assemblyman Margett. They discussed issues
relating to funds taken by the state from cities, Two bills are pending, one bill to return
$100 million to cities, which is offered by Governor Wilson, and another bill for the
return of $280 million to cities,
Mayor Harbicht noted it has been over five years since the State Legislature changed the
property tax allocation and took away funds from the cities, TIlis amounted to $2 million
yearly for Arcadia, TIlis has gone a long way in precipitating the City's budget crisis,
The budget would not be experiencing a shortfall except for this depletion in property tax
revenues, The distribution of $l 00 million to California cities figures to about 7% of the
funds taken from Arcadia or $lOO,ooO a year, The $280 million would be nearly
$400,000 a year to the City, He feels there will be some compromise between the two
figures,
Councilmember Chang commented that advertising the Economic Development Action
Plan on the Internet Home Page is a good idea, Referring to the Commercial Facade
Rehabilitation Program status report, he noted that the City has reviewed eighteen (18)
projects totaling $392,000 and the City plans to assist up to $236,000, The City has
made some progress in the Downtown Redevelopment area,

Councilmember Chang commended City staff members Peter Kinnahan and Donna
Butler for their cooperative and friendly manner in explaining the situation and the
policies of the City to those persons interested in Senior projects within the City,
Councilmember Chang noted also that a Pasadena business planning a branch in Arcadia
was also vel)' much impressed by the courtesy of Ms, Butler and Mr. Kinnahan. He
commended these staff persons in their efforts in making Arcadia business friendly.
Councilmember Chang commended Mayor Pro tern Kovacic for his interest in a City
Youth Center, The City of Duarte recently spent $1.2 million to build a youth center.
Arcadia also needs some place for young people to spend their energy in the right way
and help them to become good citizens. He would like the City Manager to look into this
possibility of planning a youth center. Counci1member also commended staff for the
information provided in the brochure .Welcome to the City of Arcadia",
Mayor Pro tern Kovacic commended Mayor Harbicht for his public meetings offering
information regarding the Fire Suppression District. Mr. Kovacic spoke before the
Altrusa Club recently on this same subject. He announced also that other clubs and
organizations within the City could sponsor a meeting for a Counci1member to provide
this same information.
Mayor Pro tern Kovacic noted the difficulties of the City bUdget process of which he was
unaware before coming a Councilmember, It takes a lot of study time to get through the
process. He complimented staff for their efforts and the readable budget document

Downtown area, Mr, Kovacic noted there is a proliferation of neon signs in that area,
also, he believes City staff should look into this matter again and, in particular, the CBD

the near future about where the Downtown is going, He would not like to see a
profileration of uses that are inappropriate for this area.
