CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA
and the
ARCADIA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING
JANUARY 18, 1994
The City Council and the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency met in an
Adjourned Regular Meeting on Tuesday, January 18, 1994, at 7:00
p.m. in the Conference Room of the City Hall Council Chambers.
PRESENT: Councilmembers Fasching, Harbicht, Lojeski, Margett,
and Ciraulo
ABSENT: None
The Acting City Manager requested that Item 7e, recommendation
to amend agreement for risk management consulting services, be
removed from tonight's agenda. Further negotiations with the
consultant must be conducted. In addition, the City Attorney has
requested that Item 8a, adoption of Ordinance No, 2000, be
removed from the agenda and continued to the next Council
meeting, for reasons he will explain at tonight's meeting.
In view of the fact that Southern California suffered a large
earthquake yesterday, at tonight's meeting the Mayor will read
a brief statement and the Fire Chief and Acting Police Chief will
give updates. A resolution must be passed in order for the City
to qualify for any Federal reimbursement of costs which may have
been incurred.
Councilmember Harbicht was contacted by Ron Morris, a teacher at
Arcadia High School who coaches the Constitution Team. For the
sixth year in a row the Team has won the district competition
and will be going to Sacramento to compete in the State competi-
tion. Two years ago they won the State competition, and last
year they won the National competition. Each year, the City has
contributed $500 toward the costs involved in transporting the
Team to Sacramento, and a contribution is again being requested,
Council agreed they would be willing to put such a request on the
agenda for the next Council meeting.
A suggestion has been received by the City Clerk to consider
televising election returns on the evening of the April 12
General Municipal Election. This would entail an additional
cost, as it is not included in the cable contract. Council is
in favor of looking into the matter. Perhaps the cable company
will offer to absorb any expenses involved.
A meeting has been scheduled for Monday, January 24, with Michael
Freedman to discuss the downtown revitalization program. Mr.
Freedman is currently in town, and if Councilmembers have any
questions prior to the meeting. he is available to provide an
answer.
The City Attorney announced, "We are going to go into Closed
Session now under Government Code 54956.9(b) to discuss a
situation where litigation has been threatened. Additionally,
we are going to go into a Closed Session under 54956.8 to give
some general instructions applicable to the proposed lease with
the Armory, n
At 7:25 p.m. the meeting ADJOURNED sine die.
