Santa Anita property at this time without an application. He also commented that, with
regard to budgets, a study done by Rose Institute at Claremont McKenna College
discovered that the reason the County of Los Angeles came so close to bankruptcy was
overspending. He hopes Council will consider this when they think about the City's
budget and that they will consider the citizens when they make decisions with regard to
Santa Anita,
I
Gail Marshall. 2300 block of Lee Avenue, stated in pan that she would like a response
to a suggestion she had made regarding dividing the City into councilmanic districts.
She asked if Council would consider changing the agenda formal. Audience
participation is early in the evening. and speakers are addressing the Council on matters
two weeks after Council has discussed and voted on them. ~. Marshall also
commented that citizens who take the time to participate at Council meetings should be
commended and their opinions respected, She believes that some of the reasons that
new businesses have been slow to locate in Arcadia may be the bureaucratic effon
necessary and the increase in City business license fees. She asked how things with
Newco are coming along.
Drew Krvnicki. 321 Leroy Avenue, commented in pan on the City's finances, budget
expenditures, and the salaries of top City officials. He believes that City officials are in
favor of the proposed Santa Anita entertainment project for the revenue it will bring in
to suppon the budget and their salaries, and a "yes' vote on the initiative in the fall will
bring fiscal responsibility. Mr. Krynicki also commented that an Arcadia City
Council member 's statement was in error when the Councilmember said the City of
Monrovia came to an agreement on a theater proposal in ten days. He would like the
Council to look into citizens' opinions regarding the Santa Anita project.
