PUBLIC HEARING Consideration of Text Amendment 97-004, prohibiting the hanging of laundry on clotheslines or on any other struclure within the required fronl and streel side yard areas. In response to a citizen complainl, the City Council requested that staff investigate prohibiting clotheslines or laundry being hung within fronl yards or on the street side of a comer lot. The citizen complaint concerned clothes which were hung on a balcony in a multiple-family zone. At . its Seplember 23, 1997 meeting the Planning Commission voted to approve T A 97-004 as worded. Council member Young felt this text amendment should prohibit clotheslines in streel side yard areas and also unfenced side yard areas. Staff advised this would be very difficult to enforce, however, Ms. Butler. the Community Development Administrator, said staff could add this to the municipal code if it becomes a problem in the future. Mayor Harbichl OPENED the public hearing. No one came forward to address lhe Cily Council, and it was MOVED by Couneilmember Young. seconded by Council member Chang and CARRIED to CLOSE lhe public hearing. 2 10/21/97 I I I I I I 8. 9. YOUNG (S.A. Mall) 39:0248 It was lhen MOVED by Councilmcmber Kuhn, seconded by Mayor Pro tern Kovacic and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows to APPROVE Text Amendment 97-004, prohibiting the hanging of laundry on clotheslines or on any other structures within the required front and street side yard areas. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Council members Chang, Kovacic. Kuhn, Young and Harbichl None None AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Lvle Wilson, 1701 Soulh Sixth Avenue, stated he was mystified as to why Council agreed to spend $430,000 to fill the vacant positions on the agenda at the last Council meeting when they know the City will be facing another budgel shortfall nex1 year. Mr. Wilson noted that the amount of City funds paid for atlorney litigalion fees and damages has escalated for various reasons since 1993. A large amounl of the budget shortfall last year was due in part to the settlemenl of a law suit. Council should address those areas in City government that are generating lhese problems and seek 10 avoid such litigation. Mr. Wilson again mentioned the costs involved in the reclassification of secretaries 10 management analyst. He feels Council is not paying atlention to what City staff has been doing in these situations. Mr. Wilson ex "pressed his opinion that the Chief of Police illegally terminated an employee who was reactivated by his military unit to serve in Bosnia. then told the employee he was welcome to come back to the City of Arcadia later. The law stipulates the job exists for the employee upon return from active military duty. This situation happened in the Arcadia Police Department and is a huge potential for a law suit to the City, as well as an embarrassment. Gail Marshall, 2300 block of Lee A venue. took issue with certain Council actions at the last Council meeting. The $10,000 Council allocaled to the Greater San Gabriel Valley Community Development Corporation could be spent in Arcadia rather than given to this small business loan program thaI loans money to high risk businesses. She doubts there will be any beneficial return on this investment. In reference 10 loss of the lnline Developmenl project, Ms. Marshall felt the developmenl ability of this group was subject 10 insults by one member of the City Council. Ms. Marshall agreed "ith Mr. Wilson regarding his objection to the reclassification of City secretaries to management analyst al an increase of $17,000 a year in base salary. ln reference to the $430,000 Council agreed to spend for new employees, if Council made budget cuts first these new employees might not be needed. Iffunds for the positions are included in the budget this does not mean that hiring should occur. Funds could be reallocated next year if the positions are needed. These are tax payer monies thaI are being spent. It is her opinion lhat everyone on this Council is guilty of needless spending. At the rate Council is spending the City "ill be in the red forever. MA TIERS FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS Councilmember Young commented thaI the City should marketlhe fact thaI Santa Anita Fashion Park Mall is one of the safes! malls in Southern California. There is a police station al the mall during the holiday season; ham operalors survey the parking lots; and a mounted police patrol. Mall officials and the Cily should joint venture a markeling program and start immedialely. Council member Kuhn agreed. 3 10121/97 39:0249 KUHN Councilmember Kuhn attended a Council of Governments (COG) meeting recently. Several (Youth Al Risk) regional issues were discussed. The Los Angeles County bond measure was discussed, in I particular the use of Proposition A Funds to fund the Youth At Risk employmenl program. This program would require cities to spend a minimum of 10% of their Parks Fund monies received from 1992-1996 for this program. This would amount to $4.8 million for the San Gabriel Valley, which would be taken away from parks, as lhe voters intended. Councilmember Kuhn requested a letter Over the Mayor's signature be sent in support of COG's efforts. Council concurred. (Champion of Youth Awards SA YMCA) KOVACIC (Student Gov't. Day) (ChlComm. Co.

Mr. Kovacic announced that Arcadia residenl Purdy Tran was selected as the 1998 Rose Queen of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses, and recommended that Ms. Tran be recognized at a future Council Meeting. I Mayor Pro tern Kovacic noted a recenl L.A. County Assessor's' Office news release announcing public meetings to assist property owners who believe their property taxes should be lowered due to a decline in property values. The intent of the meetings is to help tID"!)ayers better understand the assessment appeals process. There will be twenty-four such meetings held in the Southern California area, two of which will be held in EI Monle and Glendale. Mr. Kovacic took exception to an article in lhe Pasadena Star News stating that the City Council was "fractured". This in reference to several votes taken for lhe filling of vacant Cily positions. Mayor Pro tern Kovacic commented thaI he is proud to serve on a City Council that has five independent minds that sometimes disagree...this is healthy. Councilmember Chang agreed.

FY 1997-98 The City Council at prcvious meetings held on August 5. t9 and 26, 1997. received input from I FINAL BUDGET staff and the public conccrning lhe FY 1997-98 budget and the projected deficit in the General ADJUSTMENTS Fund. After considcrable discussion. the City Council directed staff to amend the adopted 1997- AND FINANCIAL 98 budget and implement a number of agreed upon e~l"'ndilUre reductions. Said reductions RPT. & QTRL Y amounled 10 approximalely $699,715. In addition, an estimated $1.3 million in reserve funds UPDATE were needed to balance the 1997-98 budget at that time. The Council directed staff 10 identiry (TABLED TO appropriale funds for this purpose. Staff recommended thaI these funds be obtained from lhe Nov. 4,1997) Emergency Reserve Fund. Also, due to a revenue shortfall in lhe General Fund during FY 1996- o ;?;) () \, (:> 97. staff recommended lhat an additional $670,000 be transferred from the Emergency Reserve , , Fund to the General Fund 10 offset a negative fund balance at June 30, 1997. DJ3f>.!O At the request of the CIty Council. staff previously reviewed revenue and e~l"'nditure data through the quarter ending September 30, 1997. This information was presented to the City Council this date to keep the Council abreast of current financial information and to assess the budget and projections to the end of the fiscal year. James Dale, Administrative Services Director, presented a brief overview of the FY 1997-98 budget process, noting that the City Council adopted the budget in June of 1997. This budgel was adopted with the understanding that if a mail-in-ballol vole for a Fire Suppression Assessment District (FSD) failed Council would revisit the FY 1997-98 budget and adjustments would be made accordingly. Subsequently, on August 5th the ballots for the FSD were tallied and the Dislrict failed to receive majority approval. On August 19 and 26 the Council considered various alternative expenditure reductions and reduced the deficit by approximately $699,715. Mr. Dale further explained a misallocation In sales tax revenue and other incorrect data from the State which reduced projected revenues by approximately $600,000. I Mr. Dale presented and e""plained the Quarterly Revenue and E~l"'nditure Update for the First Quarter Ending Seplember 30, 1997. Based upon new revenue and e"-penditure information the $1.3 million transfer of reserve funds to the General Fund to balance the FY 1997-98 budget has been reduced 10 $1 million for FY 1997-98. The budget deficit for FY 1998-99 is projected 10 be $500,00. Considerable discussion followed Mr. Dale's presentation. Revisiling budget e"l"'nditure reductions was supported by several Councilmembers. Agendizing a discussion of a utility tax increase, and opening such a discussion for public comment was favored. Regarding the Fire Suppression Assessment District mail-in-ballot it was stated that voters were distuIbed by this procedure, which was mandated by State law; perceived government waste; questioning of an actual budget crisis; and the twenty (20) year term of the Assessment. The hearings served a great purpose by educating the volers about the budgel shortfall, and educating the Council aboul voter attitudes. The citizens should be given an opportunity to talk about a utility tax increase, and if there is enough support, place it on lhe April, 1998 ballot. Limiting the duration of a utility tax increase was mentioned also. Councilmember Chang noted that further cuts in City e~l"'nditures may compromise City services. The survey results for outsourcing Fire Services to Los Angeles County \\ill be available in January: perhaps discussion regarding budget cuts could occur at that time. It was then MOVED by Mayor Harbicht. seconded by Councilmember Young, that the discussion of budget cuts in the FY 1997-98 Operating Budget be TABLED to the November 4, 1997 meeting: and. thaI a discussion of the potential for putting a utility tax increase question before I the voters be agendlzed for the November 4th meeting also. 8 10121/97 I I I YOUNG (In memory of Carl Frahm and Irene Souders) 39:0254 AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Kovacic, Kuhn, Young and Harbicht Chang None Councilmember Young announced lhat she would like to adjourn the meeting in memory of Carl Frahm and Irene Souders.
