Such personnel have 10 be properly authorized by the Mexican Health Authority) I Councilmember Chang agreed that the Arcadia Student Government Day was a huge success. He read a ponion of a "thank you" letter h~ received from one of the students. who said that the experience would remain with him through years of college and life. and requested that his appreciation be extended tol all the Councilmembers. He is looking forward to next year's Student Governm~nt Day. Councilmember Chang commented that he took his counterpan on a toJr of the Fire Depanment. Police Depanment. where the members of those d~ents explained their respective services. They are to be complimented.. I Councilmember Chang commented that the last Citizen's Survey did not rank the Maintenance Depanment with as high scores as ibe Police and Fire Depanments However, he noticed that the tree trimming servil:e was prompt and efficient. and commended the Maintenance Depanment for their sc!rvices. I Councilmember Chang commented that he attended the Rancho Santa. Anita Propeny Owners' Association brunch. The new president and board of directors were insta1led. He thanked Sylvia Banlett. Association President and Mr. and Mrs. Nagata for volunteering their home for this function. During ilic: brunch he was informed that the DMV has designated the Upper Rancho area. which involves Singing Wood Drive. Hampton Road and Fallen Leaf Road. as a road !Cst area for new drivers. There is concern bere about creating safety problems on the I road because of the new drivers. More importan1ly, this introduces strangers to the area. and they may come back later for other purporcs. There was indication that theie was increased criminal activity during the past year. He does not think it is right that this area was so designated , without the consent of the residents. The residents are gathenng signatures for a petition. Perhaps the Council or the City can help by writing to the DMV requesting that the road test activities be removed from this area. CowIcilmemher Chang commented that on OctoberJ26, he rec:eived a memo from the Transportation Services officer, David Feinberg, togl:ther with a letter from a resident who wished to know why site could not use the Arcadia Transit (formerly DiaI-A-Ride) tickets which she bad purchased earlier. Apparently new tickets have rec:ently been issued for Arcadia Transit riders, and the previously issued tickets were discontinued COUDcilmember Chang believes that the ticket is a contract between the purchaser and the City, and that Arcadia Transit has a legal obligation to hollOr these tickets which wen: purchased in good faith. The tickets did not have a time limitation printed on I I I I 4 un I9S I I I C!-i.~:;G lParcnership ~.;alk '95) (Real Estate Professionals Auction) (Arcadia Tournament of Roses Coronation Ball) (Inmate Worker Program) (Santa Anita Found.Donation to Meth.Hosp.)

Councllmember Chang also inquired if it would be possible to extend .>.rcadla TransIt's range to include the uOlncorporated areas around the penpher\ of the Cit\". Councllmember Chang commented that on November 5. 1995 he panlclpated In "pannership Walk '95"'. held at the Rose Bow\. There was a large attendance The purpose was to promote health. education and rural development of the poorest areas of the developing world. He feels this was a meartingful event. He recently resumed walking. and thinks thai it is an excellent exercise for everyone. Council member Chang commented that on November ~. 1995 he attended a function sponsored by Real Estate Professionals. called the Holiday Life Auction. wtuch was held at the Arcadia Community Center. He bid on an electric bicycle All proceeds are to go to various charity orgartizations in Arcadia. Sierra Madre. and Pasadena. such as Red Cross, Parent A1en, Health Council , Sertior Citizens Services, and Fire Depanments. Chairperson Sylvia Banlett is to be complimented for her hard work. During this function he talked to people who attended the Community Center in Monrovia and learned of the Neighbors Helping Neighbors Orgartization. The Executive Director is Joanne Whiteneck. This Center essentially serves as a food bank and a counseling and referral center for indigent people. CounCil member Chang commented that he had attended the Arcadia Tournament of Roses Coronation Ball which was held at the Urtiversity Club in Pasadena. It was an exceptionally successful event. and he would like to congratulate the President, Lisa Zonver and all the Committee Members on their efforts. Councilmember Chang commented that he had read a memo from Pat Malloy to the City Manager regarding an inmate worker program. This program was used for moving the warehouse stock at the Maintenance Service Center, currently under renovation. and saved the City $4,000 in labor costs. Also the inmates paid the City $45 per day. for a total savings to the City of $5,305. Councilmcmber Chang thinks the City should utilize this kind of program for temporary City jobs. Council member Chang commented thaI an article in the October 26, 1995 Star News indicated that the Santa Anita Foundation is to donate $500,000 to the Methodist Hospital, the Hospital to receive $100,0001year for five years. Perhaps the next project for the Santa Anita Foundation could be the Library Foundation project. CounciImember Chang quoted an October 29, 1995 Star News Letter to the Editor from Arcadia Paramedic, Kevin Valentine. Mr. Valentine described the Fire Department training, ""''''1ItilJl1 ~nlS, training in hazardous situations and with hazardous materials, brush fire suppression, fires in high rise structures, civil unrest, paramedic training, investigations, urban search and rescue, etc., Councilmember Chang wants to let the citizens know that the Arcadia Fire Dqlartment is. one of sixteen best in the nation. Councilmember Chang commented on an article in the October 29, 1995 Star News regarding Senator Mountjoy's OlCOmmendatiOns to maIct jury duty more friendly for jurors, so that they can be more candid in their deliberations and less intintidated if their personal information is kept from view. Senator Richard Mountjoy has pledged to introduce a bill that would identitY jurors by number rather than by name. fn addition. the State-wide Judicial Council anDOWICed plans to study the issue as part of the jury improvement project. Councilmcmber Chang believes that these are steps in the right direction. 5 Ilnt9S (Student Govern' t Councilmember Young suggested that the portion of the tape presented earlier about Day Cablecast) the Student Governrnent Day awards and CindyIROWe'S speech be presented on Channel 20.

Residents should turn in their Christmas trees so that they can be recycled. I I Mayor Pro tem Kuhn commented on the excellent slide presentation she had seen at the Firefighters' dinner. It was well done and perhaps il could also be convened in order to be shown on Channel 20. 1 Mayor Pro tem Kuhn referred to a letter received from Nell Solo and inquired if the matter of representation to the AQMD should be placed on Council agenda for discussion. lOJESKI (C::lbr.Chan~'s ..:..nnou:1ce.:7le.ncs) YOU:iG (Hishland Oaks Prop,- Radar Speed Control Displays) KUHN (Firefighters' Slide Prog.)

This place on the agenda IS a lime dunng which he would like to talk about future CouncIL agenda .tems. announcements or statements on CoUncil reports. rather than "whatl did last week". \ Council member Young commented on two letters recently receiv'ed. On Highland Oaks Drive there was a piece of land along the flood co~trol channel that looked terrible It has now been landscaped and looks 1000% better. Don Brennan of Elevado Avenue had made the suggestion to plant oleander bushes on thel property, and he was pleased to see this improvement. The other letter was from ~. Hunnicutt of Fon Lauderdale. Florida. When he was recently in Arcadia he noti~ the radar speed control display on the side of a road. He felt this to be a valuable 1001 for controlling speed and felt Arcadia should get a national merit award for placing the display on an accident-prone section of road. I I Mayor Lojeski said that for over eighteen montlts, A!'cadia had no representation on the AQMD Board. Since Nell Solo has been a member of the Board there has been much more and better information coating back from the Board. AI the last meeting which he attended, the representative from AQMD was presenl and described what the future will bring, etc. Mayor Lojeski, from his own personal experience, feels very comfortable with Nell Solo being in that position, and hopes the City will 110I have to go through the same exercise as before. However. Mayor Lojeski is the representative for Arcadia. and if there is anyone else, Council would like him to '!Insider for that Board. he will be happy to share it Councilmember Young suggested it is important to make sun: there is attendanoe at the meetings so there will be a quorum. Mayor Lojeski complimented the Police on the opening last Friday of the PACE 2000 Project at the Mall. This goes hand in hand with the D.A.R.E. program which has been incorporated into the Arcadia schools. He was pleased and impressed with the reaction of the audience at the opening - there were a couple hundred people there - there were cbeers for the polioe officers and for the demonstrations. II was an exciting and magrtificenl presentation. Arcadia is 110I a typical city where people throw bottles and rocks or fire guns at police officers. This is a program that is trying to tea<:h, especially school children, what a friend a police officer can be.

Mayor Lojeski announced the 9th Annuallmercultura1 Evening, Wednesday. November 15, 1995, sponsored by the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce and the Arcadia Unified School DistriCt, at the Arcadia Community Center. The principal speaker is to be the new Arcadia High School Principal, Martin Plourde. Mayor Lojeski commented on a situation created by a memo received by all the Councilmembers from Councilmember Chang. It is the Mayor's feeling that governrnem should be run as smoothly as possible, without being lost in the paper traIl as is happening with most governrnent agencies. He thinks the paper trails should be decreased and verbal communication increased. He wants to feel free to pick up the telephone and communicale "ith staff or with fellow Councilmembers. It was disturbing to receive Councilmember Chang's memo requesting that all future questions or comments for him be submitted in writing for a fonnal response so that he would have more time to research answers to Council's questions. Mayor Lojeski said that if that is what he has to do to communicate with a fellow Councilmember, there will be no communication. His communication is by telephone or in person; he finds that to be much more expedient. better and more proper. He is not extending the paper trail that seems to be happening here. Councilmember Chang did not agree. CITY COUNCIL RECESSED IN ORDER TO ACT AS TIlE ARCADIA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY PRESENT: ABSENT: Agency Members Chang, Kuhn.
