Mayor Lojeski stated that the Arcadia High School Science Bowl Team competed in an academic competition sponsored by the Depanment of Energy in association with Jet Propulsion Laboratories to promote excellence in science and mathematics among high school students. In January and February various educational institutions affiliated with the Depanment of Energy sponsored regional competitions with the winner to move on to the national competition which will be held in Washington. D.C. On January 27. 1996 Arcadia High School. along with twenty-three other high schools competed in the regional competition at Jet Propulsion Laboratories in the categories of math, computer science, eanh science, chemistIy, biology, physics, astronomy and general science. Arcadia won the regional competition and the students are currently practicing to compete in the national competition May 3 - 6, 1996. Mayor Pro tern Kuhn introduced Instructor, Jenny Chiu and the tearn, and presented the Mayor's Certificate of Commendation to each. Mr. Wayne Lee representing Jet Propulsion Laboratories. presented the Championship Plaque of the 1996 Regional Science Bowl, Los Angeles, County to the Arcadia High School team for achieving first place. Mr. Lee further stated that this one of the best teams they have seen come through JPL. and that they have a good chance for the national championship. He also stated that the Arcadia team had demonstrated the best sportsmanship they have seen in the four year history of the tournament. Mayor Lojeski noted that some of the audience may have recognized Team Member, Shirley Hung who recently was honored by the City Council for achieving a perfect score on the S.A. T. examination. She is also a member of the Arcadia High School Constitution Team. This is an incredible young lady. I Mayor Lojeski introduced Mr. Ron Morris and the Arcadia High School Constitution Team This team started in September and proceeded all the way to Sacramento and placed third in the Slate competitions. To give the audience a taste the competition. the team demonstrated a mock Congressional hearing in which each member participated. This dealt with the congressional history and experience, looking back to what the founders learned from colonial experiences. and also from the history of constitutional government formation in England. Mr. Morris introduced the Constitution Team members. The question demonstrated by the Team concerned constitutional government, such as: What are the fundamental characteristics of a constitutional government? What are the essential differences between a constitutional government and an autocratic or dictatorial government, and describe at least five provisions of the State's constitution that provide a means of preventing the abuse or misuse of governmental power; explain.how they work in our system. Mayor Lojeski noted that this is where educational dollars are going - to the betterment of today's young society. Mayor Pro tern Kuhn presented the Mayor's Certificate of Commendation to each member of the Constitution team and Ron Morris. Mayor Lojeski also presented a check for SSOO to the team for expenses. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION FROM STAFF REGARDING AGENDA ITEMS- REPORTS/ANNOUNCEMENTS/STATEMENTS Pursuant to the request of Mayor Lojeski, City Manager, Kelly responded to some misconceptions concerning the Downtown 2000 project. "The estimated cost as of I 2 3/5/96 I I I CITY ATTORNEY (Downtown 2000 Project) () (; &'0 - O,ih, NSf' CITY MGR. (Downtown 2000 Project) o 6'i (I - O';J.:, ,../!.r' ORD. & RES. READ BY TITLE ONLY ".1 J ' ;'1 . . 38:0063 1995 of this project was a little over $6 million dollars. Of those funds, a ponion was set aside for design and inspection. Due to a series of problems. the project bas risen up an additional about $1.6 million dollars to cause correction to work that was inadequate or behind schedule. The new project is now up to $8 million, so the number of $8 million dollars is accurate. But it was not targeted at that. The City Attorney can explain further what that means. The project is up to around $8 million dollars. The funding for this, though, is not General Fund money. As the Council is aware, this project was designed in order to correct cenain deficiencies in the street and storm drain system of about $3 million dollars. So of the total for the original $6 million dollars. about half of that money was already targeted for infrastructure repair. The additional $3 million dollars was set aside for landscaping and other amenities. Of those funds, the majority or about $6 + million dollars was Redevelopment money. The Water Fund for the water works was a little over $600,000. Gas tax funds were used for the street work, or a little over $1 million dollars. So, there were sufficient funds set aside to do this project when it began, and there are still sufficient funds to complete the project. There is just confusion over how the project was funded and the actua1 cost. We anticipate finishing the project toward the end of March. The Mayor bas something to read about the March 30 dedication ceremony. This tries to put the facts back into place as to the original construction cost. what the new cost will be, as well as its funding sources. " City Attorney Miller stated, "the City is in litigation with the contractor, so I am somewhat limited in what I can state regarding that litigation, but it can be made public that the City was forced to terminate its contract with the Sully-Miller Contracting Company on the Project 2000, basically for lack of performance. These are things that are unpredictable when you enter into a contract, as we are required to do by the City Charter, with the lowest responsible bidder. The Sully-Miller Company is a vel)' reputable company. They had some outside labor problems, and then those were compounded by their own lack of response and performance, so they were terminated by the City. Sully-Miller responded with a law suit against the City of Arcadia We have now responded to that law suit. We have had three of their causes of action dismissed. The court bas dropped their punitive damage claim against the City. All of the individnal defendants of the City have been eliminated from the law suit, but we are still in litigation. Vel)' shortly, the City of Arcadia will be filing a law suit against the Sully-Miller Company for alleged bli!ach of contract to recover all of the monies that the City has been forced to spend to complete the job because of their breach of contract. We will be filing that suit, probably within the next sixty days to recover monies we've been forced to spend as a result of their breach of contract." The City Manager further sttted, "the term, 'debt' can be a confusing statement. This project was budgeted using the three sources of funds mentioned earlier. There was no new debt incurred to pay for this project. The funds were accumulated and set aside for the Downtown 2000 project. In fact, the Redevelopment Agency dollars can only be used in the downtown for these kinds of projects. No new debt was incurred to complete this project." Mayor Lojeski noted that no new taxpayer dollars have gone into that project. It was MOVED by Councilmember Young seconded by Councilmember Ulricb and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that ordinances and resolutions be read by title only and that the reading in fuIJ be WAIVED. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilrnembers Chang. Kuhn, Ulrich, Young and Lojeski None None 3 3/S/96 38:0064 3. I AUDffiNCEPARTICWATION Gabriel Monares. Southern California Gas Co.. 10990 E. Lower Azusa Road, El Monte. stated, in part, that he is present to introduce himself as the new District Manager of Southern California Gas Company. He will be handling Public Affairs and Government Relations in Arcadia. He will be pleased to be of any assistance to Council or staff as needed or required. Gail Marshall. 2300 block of Lee Avenue, stated, in part, that, first, she feels that the tree trimmers are doing an excellent job in the City. Second, she complimented the Council on their decision to deny the laser tag facility last month. She agreed with the four Council members who recognized the changing of the tenninology from "shooting" and "killing" to "zap', "tag" and "deactivate" as a smoke screen. Putting aside the matter of whether this would have been morally correct for Arcadia, it was not in concurrence with the redevelopment plan. She had read a list of those businesses which were not to be pennitted in the redevelopment area. It was very clear that a laser tag establishment was not in concurrence with the desires of the City Council. She questioned the Planning Commission's 7.{J vote for approval. She questioned Councilmember Chang' s reasoning and vote of approval for the laser tag facility in the downtown development area. At a Council meeting last year, Ms. MaIshaIl had presented a proposal regarding the number of video games allowed in a business not I operating under a conditional use penniL Councilmember Chang took a firm stand and boldly stated, "I am against any of these games anywhere in this City. The children belong at home studying and spending time with their families. As far as 1 am concerned, we should remove all these games in the City." Ms. MaIshaIl owned an arcade at the time and so remembered his words. However, later a Chinese applicant applied for seven arcade games. Being aware that there were already 32 to 42 games in a two block area from the applicant's store, Councilmember Chang was striving for approval. Ms. MaIshall had thought he was strongly opposed to such games. This was a drastic change of opiniglt in a few shon weeks. A few days after the hearing she had been informed that Councilmember Chang was close friends with the store owner and his family. If true, Councilmember Chang should have abstained from voting due to a conflict of interest. If she had known of this, she would have brought it to the Council's attention. At a September Council meeting. a gentleman raised the question of the ISO degree turn in opinion concerning video games. Councilmember Chang said, "I don't remember". Ms. MaIshaIl attends most of the Council meetings and remembers how issues are voted upon. If there are doubts about these accusations, she urges CounciImember Chang to review the tapes of the meeting. She asks Councilmember Chang if his vote is dependent upon his beliefs, convictions, betterment of the entire commUJ'lity or is the decision persuaded by friendships and the race of the applicanL ,Ms. Marshall reminded Council member Chang of the article he wrote for a Chinese newspaper in which he blamed fellow Councilmembers of being insensitive to Asians in the community. She has seen no proof of such accusatiOIlS. The article was written in a Chinese only newspaper so only a segment of the community would be infonned; she chose to come before the TV camera so the entire community would be aware. She believes every person living in Arcadia regardless of ethnic background is important in I all the decisiollS that are made by the Council. She hopes she has not offended any of the Asian community. This is not a racial attack, it was given from a political standpoint only. 4 3/5/96 I I I 4, YOUNG LOJESKI (Youth Volunteer of the Year) CHANG (Pride in AHS Students) "j 'Jtlll 38:0065 Dorothv Denne. Arcadia Beautiful Commission, stated, in part, that one of her activities in the City is to volunteer in the P.A.C.E. office at the Police Department. She believes in the PAC.E. and DARE. projects. She was happy to see the Councilmembers tonight in their DARE. tee shirts. The Council and the City Clerk not only bought the shirts, each one of them donated money to support at least one student through the D.A.RE. program. This shows wonderful cooperation between the City government, the citizens, the Police Department and the schools. Marv DoUlmertv. Member. Arcadia Unified School District Board of Education, stated, in part, that she thanks the Council for honoring the students this evening; and she is glad that the Council had the opportunity to see and to show the community what a fine job the students did in representing Arcadia as they went forward in competition for the Congressional District and to Sacramento for the State competitions. Representing herself as a citizen of Arcadia, she thanked the Councilmembers for their support of Proposition 203, the State School Facilities Bond Issue. The Board of Realtors has also joined in support of Proposition 203. The President of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association noted that, while the Association has not taken a position on Proposition 203, that he, as an individual, was leaning in favor of this Proposition. The reason being that it will not increase local property taxes and the need is urgent. This will draw on the State's sources of revenue, primarily the State income tax and sales tax. MA TIERS FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS Councilmember Young mentioned a letter received from Congressman David Dreier concerning the Youth Volunteer of the Year, and wondered if other Councilmembers had given thought to this selection. Councilmember Ulrich mentioned Eagle Scout Brian Hubinger. He is not only an Eagle Scout; he is a member of the Arcadia High School football team and a fine student. Mayor Lojeski recommended communication with the current Queen of the Arcadia Rose Tournament, who has a long list of volunteer service. Mayor Lojeski also noted that last year's Youth Volunteer of the Year was from Arcadia Councilmember Chang expressed his pride in the Arcadia High School Science Bowl Team and Arcadia High School Constitution Team, their achievements, and their outstanding performance. Honors should also go to their parents and the Arcadia School District. (Congratulated Counci1member Chang congratulated the Arcadia Police Department on their successful P. D. on D. A. R. E. PAC.E. 2000 program. Also, the DARE. program to teach children to say "no" to and P. A. C . E drugs has been successful in the schools. Programs in Schools) (Rebuttal to Remarks by Ms. Gail Marshall) Councilmember Chang said that Ms. Gail Marshall's earlier comments were misleading. "It is his belief that the kids should stay at home and study homework as much as possible. Sometimes, they go to the Arcade on the weekends. As long as they complete their school work, we can not really prohibit them. This has nothing to do with my objection to the matter that I voted against her wish to prohibit other video operators to come into the same market shopping center as her own video stores. As I remember, her video store had twenty-<lne video games, and she is saying that nobody 5 3/5/96 38:0066 else should come into. I believe that this is a free competition market. You can not just-say.... As long as the law doesn't have any other provisions, then we should let the other people to come into here to have a free competition. That's the reason I vote "no" to her request. Now, I don't know the new owner, so there is no conflict of interest here. Now. talking about the violence, talking about the reason I voted for the laser tag is that I believe that the Police Department has no problem with this, and the School District has no problem with this kind of game. We have asked for their feedback. And the Planning Commission has voted 7.{). I feel that this is a high tech family entertainment kind of game. So I voted for this kind of business. If we talk about violence, I think a video game has most of the violence. Everybody who has played video games knows that is really violent. Some of the games have very profound violent component. I would advise her to read the translation of the article that I had in the Chinese newspaper, so that she would not misundemand or be mislead. I believe that all that I have been doing is for the entire Arcadia citizens, not just for some sections of the Arcadia citizens. " I ULRICH Councilmember Ulrich reminded the community about the Arcadia Firefighters' (Firefighters' pancake breakfast to be held Saturday, March 9, 1996. Pancake Breakfast) (Downtown 2000 Reopening Celebration) KUHN (Arcadia - Tree City USA) OU;;O-,? NsP (Transportation Related Assembly Bills) FEINBERG (Transportation Related Assembly Bills) LOJESKI (Arcadia Transit Appreciation) (Proposed Santa Anita Project) Councilmember Ulrich reminded everyone of the Downtown 2000 reopening celebration to be held Saturday, March 30, 1996. He hopes the residents will show support for the 10ng-su1fering merchants on Huntington Drive Mayor Pro tem Kuhn announced that for the second year, Arcadia has been named Tree City USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation. The Arbor Day celebration will held March 7, 1996 at Arcadia High School I Mayor Pro tem Kuhn noted that as a Member of the Transportation Committee of Council of Government and the California League of Cities, she and City Staff Member David Feinberg traveled to Sacramento, together with some local elected officials and other transportation people, to lobby against pending bills which could adversely affect our local transportation programs. should they become State law. At Mayor Pro tern Kuhn's request, Staff Member David Feinberg further reported on their trip to speak to Assembly Members and State Senators concerning several bills, specifically AB 2084 which, if passed. would impact Arcadia Transit's operations. This bill would allow counties to divert State transportation monies into their own coffers and take them away from transportation agencies throughout the State. This would take about $300,000 or about 25% of Arcadia Transit's operating budget. This would have impact on both weekday and weekeud services. This bill would also impact Foothill Transit and MfA who also provide crucial transportation for Arcadia residents. Mayor Lojeski related the comments of one of his neighbors who is confined to an electrified wheel chair. This person gave many accolades to Arcadia Transit and City staff who handle those programs. He appreciated the efficiency, cleanliness, the price. and the drivers. He was especially appreciative of the new vans which are wider and can handle the wider wheel chairs. I Mayor Lojeski stated that he has heard many questions regarding placing the potential Santa Anita Entertainment Center Project before the voters. "The City Council is not 6 3/5/96 I I I LOJESKI (Celebrate Downtown - Mar.30, 1996) O-G80~oJB, (Chamber/Comm. Installation Dinner) (Arbor Day Celebration) , I,' 38:0067 actually obligated to submit any rand use decisions to the electorate. In fact. as the duly elected representatives of the people, most of these decisions are not submitted to the electoral process. But, please remember that the appropriate time to consider a possible election is after the Environmental Impact Repon has been completed, and the public and the City Council have had the opponunity to review the project's impact and public comment. This process will then give the City a very accurate picture of the project and its potenual impacts. The latest guesstimation from our City staff is that those reports should be approaching us by late April or early May. That's the time schedule at the present time." Mayor Lojeski stated that the long-awaited completion of the Downtown 2000 Streetscape is on the horizon. Saturday, March 3D, 1996 the City will host an event called "Celebrate Downtown". This will be a family oriented community festival designed to celebrate the completion of the Streetscape component of the Downtown 2000 project and to stage an event that will bring the opponunities available in downtown Arcadia to the attention of local residents and those in surrounding cities. Also it is to thank. the residents and downtown merchants for their cooperation throughout the long period of inconvenience; to demonstrate the City Council's suppon of downtown as a viable business district and a valuable community resource: and to celebrate Arcadia's sense of a real community. Anticipating the need for advenising some kind of special event at the end of this component of the Downtown 2000 project, money was included in the FY 1995-91 Redevelopment Agency budget. In fact. the City is investing approximately $9,500 on newspaper advenising, and $10.500 to coordinate the Celebrate Downtown Community Festival. Although this amount of money is significant, it comes from the approved Redevelopment Agency budget. As elected officials who have the best interests of the entire City in mind, we feel it is very impottant to do what we can to assist the business community in a manner that is harmonious with our Community of Homes, and consistent with the unique and special spirit of Arcadia To summarize the objectives of the Downtown Project: "It is a comprehensive program designed to improve the appearance and viability of the downtown as a new commen:ial district. We hope to create an environment that will provide enhanced opponunities for both businesses and residents. While we believe that the physical rehabilitation will make downtown more attractive, the area will not go from an aged business district to one that is flourishing overnight. By approving this project, the City Council has demonstrated its commitment to make the area successful over a long term. And to that end, when you are in need of a product or a service that is available in the downtown district. I would like to encourage each of you to at least visit these shops and see what they have to offer. If there are any questions about the various components or details of the Downtown Project, please feel free to call City Hall and ask for a copy of our question and answer pamphlet, which was prepared in an attempt to clear up some of the confusion and misunderstanding that has surrounded this project." Celebrate Downtown will be held on March 30. 1996,9:00 a. m. to 3:00 p.m. on South First Avenue at Huntington Drive. Mayor Lojeski noted that on Saturday. March 3D, 1996 the annual Chamber of Commerce installation will be held at the University Club in Pasadena. This is also an opponunity to honor a number of citizens in the community for their volunteerism. Mayor Lojeski noted the Artlor Day celebration at Arcadia High School by the Arcadia Beautiful Commission. They will plant a tree in celebration. Five third grade classes from Baldwin Stocker will also panicipate. 1 3/5/96 LOJESKI- (Mayor's Prayer Breakfast) 5. 5a. RESOLUTION NO. 5910 (ADOPTED) 1030-,,},O l../.tq_Q6 5b.
